Chapter 138: The Battle of the Gubei Pavilion
Gubei Pavilion is located at the junction of Nanjing Road in Liaoguo and Hebei East Road in Songguo. There is nothing particularly attractive here, but if you have to say, Tang Ning once broke the Jin Army here, which can be regarded as a memorable place.
Because Wanyan Aguda and Yingzhou sent troops to Hedong of the Song State, Yelu Yanxi took advantage of the situation and sent troops to Xijin Mansion in an attempt to regain Liao's control of Nanjing Dao.
The strategy was successful, and the Jin army was indeed driven out of Nanking Province by him.
But the Jin people were certainly not willing to give up like that, so they regrouped around the Luan River and prepared to launch a counterattack against the Liao army.
The current situation is that Song and Liao joined forces to resist Jin, but can this really destroy the Jin State?
Wanyan Agu fought a generation of male lords, and when he first cavalry, he had only 3,000 men under his command. However, relying on these 3,000 people, he defeated the 30,000 people of the Liao State.
Although the Liao State did not necessarily send regular troops, the numerical suppression was real. But even so, Wanyan Aguta still achieved a big victory, and the combat power of the Jurchen warriors should not be underestimated.
Yelu Yanxi knew this, but there was nothing he could do. And looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, the only people who fought with the Jin army were the Zhenguo army.
So Zhao Ji didn't know this, and the entire Great Song Dynasty had an illusion.
Although Tang Ning's ability to win a hundred battles has something to do with his own on-the-spot command ability, he has him completely relying on the power of gunpowder.
With gunpowder, they can easily win even if they are sent on the field, so in a sense they are quite arrogant.
The reason why they betrayed the Jin people after forming an alliance with the Jin people has something to do with this matter. They think that having gunpowder is equal to invincibility, and they don't accept it? Accurate? Then I'll throw gunpowder and blow you up.
But they don't understand that even gunpowder depends on quantity to win.
Gunpowder has been around for a long time, and even a fight between neighbors should be on guard against each other's usual moves—although in a sense, the relationship between the three kingdoms is indeed a fight between neighbors......
Tong Guan led 100,000 forbidden troops to meet the Jin army in Hebei, while on the other side, the Jin army and the Liao army at the Gubei Pavilion had already started a fierce battle.
Although it is an inconspicuous place, it is different after it is related to Luanshui.
The Jin army also pointed to Luanshui to transport the soldiers from the north to the south, and the Gubei Pavilion occupies a part of Luanshui, if the Gubei Pavilion is not taken, the Jin Army will be a very thorny problem to transport troops.
What the enemy wants to do is what you want to obstruct, such a simple truth, even an idiot like Yelu Yanxi will understand.
As a result, the Gubei Pavilion has become a fiercely contested place.
Wanyan Lou's room was attacked by Tang Ning's Daimyo's mansion at the beginning
After being embarrassed, it seems that he has been unlucky.
Obviously, he is not a money-loser, but every time something happens, he seems to be inexplicably involved with him.
Let's not talk about the previous ones, let's just say that Song Jun's defection can happen to him, it is really unlucky, and he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water.
But because of this, Wanyan Lou Room has been holding his breath in his heart, and in the Gubei Pavilion, he finally found an opportunity to vent.
As the commander of the first army, he should have given orders in a safer place, but he didn't, he personally led 6,000 soldiers to the east bank of Luanshui to fight the Liao army.
The Liao army deployed 50,000 people here, and 20,000 people were put into the six military villages near Luanshui alone.
When Wan Yan Lou led his subordinates to cross the river, he was hit hard by these guys, and after a hard struggle, he finally reached the east bank.
Before the heel could stand firmly, the Liao army was killed, and Wanyan Lou led his subordinates to resist hard. He took the lead and slashed all the way. The soldiers around him saw that the commander was so brave, and their morale was also high.
However, the Liao army was numerous, and it fought from noon to dark, and finally the Liao army retreated.
Wanyan Lou finally grabbed a foothold, and he would definitely not give up easily, so he ordered the soldiers to build a military village overnight.
The soldiers were already tired after only half a day of fierce fighting, and now they were asked to build a military village after Wanyan Lou's room, and their physical strength was really unbearable.
But the manager also came down to help, and they couldn't say anything.
But just when they were busy for two hours, it was already late at night, and the Liao army came to kill again.
At this time, the military village has some rudimentary shapes, although the interior has not had time to get it, but the outermost wall is still strong for defense.
The night attack of the Liao army made them a little flustered, but relying on the wall, they could be regarded as able to resist. But their physical exertion is really not small, and they haven't closed their eyes for almost a whole day, so the Liao army still inevitably has some upper hand.
The front of the military village was once broken by the Liao army, and Wanyan Lou Room brought his own soldiers over, barely resisting this wave of attacks.
The Liao army retreated first, and the adjutant general of Wanyan Lou's room wiped his sweat and said, "Finally beat them away, Dashuai, let's rest quickly." ”
Wan Yan Lou shook his head and said, "They weren't repulsed, they were regrouped. ”
Sure enough, before half an hour, the Liao army screamed and killed again.
The battle continued until dawn, and the Jin army was somewhat difficult to resist. Seeing this, Wanyan Lou had no choice but to order, and the Jin army returned to the west bank of Luanshui.
"Let's rest here first, and we'll kill it back when the reinforcements arrive." Wan Yan Lou looked at his subordinates with a gray face and sighed.
Then he looked back to the east bank
Go, it can be vaguely seen that the Liao army on the other side is demolishing the military fortress they have just established.
"Who is the commander of the other side? can actually play like this with Ben Shuai, some ability. ”
"Back to Dashuai, it's Yelu Dashi." The adjutant general replied: "He was only twenty years old this year when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he is a member of the royal family of the Liao State. This time he was sent to oversee the army, but the general of their army seemed to have fallen off his horse and died, so he was in command for the time being. ”
"Only twenty?!" Wan Yan Lou's eyes widened, and then he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Three days later, 30,000 Jin troops marched down the river. I wanted to disembark on the east coast, but the scouts of Wanyan Lou's room had already detected that the Liao army had set up an ambush on the east coast, so they finally disembarked on the west side.
With these reinforcements, Yan Lou finally had the confidence to fight a tough battle with Yelu Dashi, but for the sake of insurance, he still chose to cross the river at night a week later.
It was foggy that night, and there was basically nothing to see outside twenty paces, which was a beautiful opportunity, and this opportunity could not be wasted.
However, Yelu Dashi seems to have this concern, and he sent a patrol to patrol the shore non-stop. Looking at the hazy light of the fire on the shore, Wan Yan Lou knew that it would be a matter of time before it was exposed, but it would be better if he could get rid of these patrols.
So he sent dozens of people to lie quietly on the shore first, wait for the Liao army patrol to come, and then suddenly come out of the river.
The idea is good, but it's a pity that the Liao army doesn't cooperate. One of them seemed to have gone to pee halfway through, and when he returned, he saw his brothers lying on the ground, and a group of people picking up their clothes.
Fortunately, he didn't have a torch, so he sneaked back to report to Jerodashi.
Yelu Dashi immediately sent troops to the shore, and before all the subordinates of Wanyan Lou's room could go ashore, they were suddenly attacked by the Liao army.
However, the battle against the odds is said to be at this time, and the battle between the two sides is particularly fierce.
One side did not want the other party to go ashore, and the other side did not want to go into the river to soak, so the two sides fought with their heads and blood. The water was full of arrows and corpses, and the river water, which was once relatively clear, had turned a deep red.
At night it was better, but during the day it became more shocking.
The two armies fought on the shore again from night to dawn, but this time the Liao army was defeated.
The Liao army on the east bank of Luanshui established a total of six walled forts, and Wanyan Lou Room chose the southernmost walled fort to attack, while Yelu Dashi could only mobilize the forces of the three walled forts on the south side to fight against the Jin army.
It would take another day for the soldiers of the other three forts to arrive, and before that, this side was already at a disadvantage.
You're in luck. Yelu Dashi glanced at the battle situation on the shore, thought so, and then ordered the adjutant general: "Withdraw!" Return to the Walled Fort and regroup! ”
"Yes!"
