Chapter 4: A Perfect Match
In June, Yelu Yanxi, whose war with the Song Kingdom had temporarily ended, began to turn the spearhead and pointed directly at Wanyan Aguta in the northeast. He believes that the reason why Wanyan Aguda will win a big victory in Ningjiang Prefecture is only because Song Guo happened to be involved.
If the soldiers of the Liao State were really allowed to fight him head-on, he would not be his opponent anyway.
Therefore, he sent his trusted minister Xiao Fengxian's younger brother, Xiao Sixian as the capital commander. When he was still a prince, Xiao Wuna was the deputy commander of the capital, and led a three-way army with a total of 100,000 people to attack the Jurchen Department.
Before the start of the war, Xiao Si first stationed troops in Yazi Hebei.
After experiencing the battle of Ningjiang Prefecture, the number of subordinates has increased from 4,200 to 6,000.
Hearing that the Liao army had sent 100,000 people, Wanyan was very anxious. There are only 6,000 men under his command, while the other side has 100,000. If you don't find a way to win by surprise, the opponent can drown himself on the duck river with a mouthful of spit.
At the same time, the news reached the Jurchen army, and the morale of the Jurchen army was also very low. Although Wanyan Aguta promised them that as long as they fought bravely, they and their families would be promoted in the status of the tribe, but the current situation was not optimistic.
You may not be able to survive even if you finish beating yourself, so what status do you have to promote?
The weather in June is extremely hot, and although it is a little cooler here in Duck River, the hot weather is still boring.
After thinking about it again and again, he finally used the Shamanic Mengbu Theory, which the Jurchens believed in the most, to stabilize and inspire the army.
On this night, he suddenly gathered the soldiers and said, "As soon as I lay down, someone shook my head." When I opened my eyes, I found that there was no one around.
Three times in a row, I didn't notice anyone present. I think this should be a hint from God. Then I heard the voice of God, who said that if we go out overnight, we will be victorious. If not, there will be a catastrophe. ”
Some believe, some don't. "I think that the catastrophe that God is talking about may not only be aimed at us. Think about it, our family is behind us, our tribe, our land is counting on us to protect.
If we fail, it is not only us who will suffer the catastrophe of annihilation, but also our entire Jurchen race.
At this time, it is the time to forge ahead, but whoever goes out with me this time, even if he has no military merits, after returning to the slave and maid, he can be a civilian, and a civilian can be an official. Those who previously held official positions may be promoted according to their merits.
Don't forget your oath, we swore before we sent our troops to defeat the Liao and end their rule over us. If the oath is broken and the person dies, the family cannot be pardoned. ”
After hearing this, the Jurchen army's morale suddenly grew, and they got up one after another to prepare for battle, six thousand
Duo Tie rode around the road overnight and rushed straight out of the river shop.
At dawn the next day, the Jurchen army came to the north bank of the Yazi River near the river shop, and Xiao Sixian was preparing to arrange for his subordinates to cross the river.
The Liao army didn't expect that Wanyan Agu's fight would come so quickly, and they were caught off guard and suddenly collapsed.
The Liao army, which has not had any major wars in the past 100 years, is no longer what it used to be, and all the veterans and veterans in the army who have experience in large-scale operations are dead. The rest of these people are inexperienced, either have only fought bandits or participated in skirmishes.
Let them face each other against each other, and fight the enemy in a serious way, and this is the first time they have been.
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the mobilization before the war was very successful. The Jurchens were a barbaric uncivilized nomad, and the Liao army, which had been somewhat sinicized, suffered a loss again.
In their eyes, the Jurchens are like beasts that have been hungry for a long time and finally released, choosing people to devour. After the Jurchens riding a tall war horse swept through the Liao army's formation, a piece of flesh and blood flew away.
Xiao Sixian and Xiao Wuna tried their best to stabilize the formation, but the Jurchens were too fierce. They don't seem to be afraid of death at all, or they regard death as a very honorable thing.
Screaming and screaming, he rushed into the Liao army's formation, rushed out and killed another one back and forth, and if he couldn't rush out, he had to pull a few more pads before he died. Even if he was cut in half, he had to find a way to bite off a piece of meat on the Liao army.
In the face of such Jurchens, the Liao army finally collapsed, and even Xiao Sixian beheaded several retreating soldiers to no avail.
Xiao Sixian and Xiao Wuna, who hoped to stabilize the formation, had no choice but to retreat, but the two of them were discovered by Wanyan Aguta.
So Wanyan Aguda immediately rode his horse to the front, and shot with a bow. Xiao Sixian was unfortunately hit by an arrow, although he did not hurt the vital point, but he also fell into a coma, and the Liao army fell into panic again, rushing to escape.
In the battle, Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao army in Chuhedian with a disadvantage of 1 to 16, and captured countless Liao soldiers, chariots and horses, grain, grass, cattle and sheep.
When the news came out, the world was shaken.
Even though he had been prepared, Tang Ning still felt shocked when he heard it. In the battle of Chuhedian, the historical Wanyan Agu defeated the 100,000 army of the Liao army with a force of 3,700 people, and it was winter, and they did not have any good weapons and equipment.
This time, with the armor and ordnance secretly funded by Tang Ning, Wanyan Aguda completed this typical battle example of winning more with less in history in the summer, I have to say that this person is worthy of the praise of a generation of heroes, and is indeed the most dazzling star of this era.
With this battle at the foundation, when the Jurchens face the Liao people again, that self-confidence from the inside out will make the Liao people fearful.
Yelu Yanxi heard about himself
The 100,000-strong army was beaten by the 6,000 troops beaten by Wanyan Agu, and the whole person was not good.
Just as he was about to take Xiao Sixian to ask for the guilt, Xiao Fengxian went on a recital and said: "The defeated army of the Eastern Expedition fled with guilt, and robbed everywhere they went, if they were not pardoned, I am afraid that they would gang up to become thieves and become a disaster." ”
Yelu Yanxi took Xiao Fengxian's recital, and faintly felt that something was wrong. But he attaches great importance to Xiao Fengxian, not only because Xiao Fengxian accompanied him when he did not succeed to the throne, but also because Xiao Fengxian had two good sisters.
One is Xiao Duoli, who is his own queen. The other is Xiao Guige, who is his favorite woman. A queen and a favorite concubine are all Xiao Fengxian's younger sisters, and Yelu Yanxi is naturally very fond of this eldest brother.
Thinking that when he was going to Mingtong River to fish, and Yan Aguda refused his request to not dance or sing after the head fish banquet, Yelu Yanxi was very dissatisfied.
He said to Xiao Fengxian in private: "I didn't expect this Wanyan Agu to be more arrogant than me, I can't bear it, why don't we kill him under the pretext of a side matter!" ”
Xiao Fengxian said: "Wanyan Aguda is a rough man, he doesn't know etiquette and righteousness, and he doesn't have any big faults, if you kill him, it will hurt the hearts of all the tribes to Mu and naturalize."
If he really has a different heart, he is only a small country in the land of projectiles, what else can he do! ”
At that time, Yelu Yanxi felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he gave up. This time, when he saw Xiao Fengxian's recital, he felt that it was the same thing.
After thinking about it again and again, Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to agree. Let Xiao Si go to the palace first to wait for punishment and conviction, but the final disposition is only to remove him from his official position.
In fact, Xiao Fengxian's report was nothing more than a fabricated piece of information to save his brother's life, and the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition were ready to be punished. But Yelu Yanxi did nothing and did not punish them.
From then on, the soldiers of the Liao State no longer had the fighting spirit, and began to flee when they encountered the enemy.
Zhao Xu had eyeliner in the Liao court, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly called Tang Ning over to share.
Tang Ning knew Xiao Fengxian, but anyone who was curious about the end of the Liao Kingdom would never take his eyes off Xiao Fengxian.
This person is a typical pig teammate, and Yelu Yanxi fell for him.
After the head fish feast, he let go of Wanyan Aguta, so that the Liao State lost the fortune of the country, which led to the birth of the Jin Dynasty. In order to protect his younger brother, he falsified information to deceive the Holy Hearing, and made the Liao soldiers lose their fighting spirit.
As soon as they told Tang Ning the news, the two of them laughed heartily.
Xiao Feng was stupid at first, and Yelu Yanxi was stupid. The two of them are a perfect match.
