Chapter 766: Gao Yu Wronged Seven
March 28, the fourth year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
Hetao grassland, somewhere between the Mingtang River and the Great Hengshui.
"Defeated! Defeated! Run, the diviners are coming......"
On the grassland, there was a huge shout like a tsunami of mountains, and then the sound of horses' hooves was extremely dense. I don't know how many horses' hooves were pounding on the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
In the early morning of this day, more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers and horses, who had marched all night because of the retreat, were demoralized and lacked horses, and were suddenly attacked by armored cavalry that rushed out of the morning mist. In just a few rounds of blows, it destroyed more than a thousand palace troops commanded by Xiao Gan.
Subsequently, Wan Yan Xian and Wu Tian took advantage of the panic of Xiao Gan's retreat and decisively launched a general attack.
The tribal army of the Qing army of the Great Liao River, which was caught off guard and was rushed by nearly 400 armored cavalry, was also the same as the armored cavalry in Nanpi Room, and it was immediately crushed. An army of tens of thousands of people began to collapse from the tail. The entire grassland was full of fleeing Liao cavalry for a while.
The three hundred and eighty-nine horsemen commanded by Wanyan Xianye and Wu Tian actually succeeded in one blow, scattering more than 10,000 horsemen of Xiao Delisi and Xiao Gan!
Of course, it's just a breakup. Relying on the assault of more than 300 armored cavalry, it is impossible to inflict too many casualties on more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry. Counting those who trampled on each other and died, it would be very good to be able to kill three or five hundred.
That's the advantage of cavalry! If you can't beat it, you can still escape! In particular, light riders that are not equipped are very fast once they run. Moreover, these light horsemen are good at riding and shooting, and they really want to chase the arrows that hit them. Even if he is wearing a green Tang Dynasty armor, he is afraid that the mount under his crotch will shoot over.
Therefore, Wan Yan Xian and Wu Tian did not chase after him, and after the last assault, he watched the Khitan cavalry all over the mountains leave.
also chose a high place, and watched the Khitan cavalry flee with a pale face, as well as Xiao Delis and Xiao Gan, who had just come to join him.
Looking down from the high ground where they were, the Khitan soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, and they were fleeing eastward. Abandoned cattle, sheep and horses roamed around the battlefield, and no one went to arrest them.
This is obviously not the style of the divination people, the enemy is obviously the Song army!
And the victorious Song army didn't know what was going on, so they actually let go of the opportunity to easily kill the Khitans, and did not continue to catch up, but just lined up in the distance and watched coldly.
"They didn't chase ......"
Xiao Delis let out a sigh and looked back at Xiao Gan, who was probably crippled in an arm, clamped with a wooden plank, and wrapped in a strip of cloth hanging around his neck.
"Master, what should we do?" Xiao Gan looked at Xiao Delis painfully.
"What else can I do?" Xiao Delis smiled bitterly, "Of course I retreated to the Heqing army...... Let's see how much we have lost, and then write a piece of music and send it to Mandarin Duck to ask for guilt! ”
This Xiao Delis is quite honest, but he never thought of lying about a big victory to deceive Yelu Yanxi.
"Taishi," Xiao Gan's arm ached for a while at this time, and he had to grit his teeth and speak, "Who are we defeated?" ”
This is ridiculous!
After such a big defeat, you don't know who the enemy is?
"Of course he was defeated by Gao Yu!" Xiao Delis smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this Gao Yu to be so cunning and fierce...... First pretended to coax our army back, and then followed the surprise attack with 20,000 elites. If it weren't for the death of the palace to protect you, we would have been wiped out! ”
What the!? Xiao Ganxin said: You are still an honest person, but I didn't expect to be so cunning!
But is it really okay to report like this?
It seems that the Song army only dispatched a few hundred armored cavalry to disperse more than 10,000 of its own people. If there are 20,000 elites here, it will be a question whether the Qing army of the Great Liao River will still exist.
Seeing Xiao Gan's brows furrowed, Xiao Delisi lowered his tone, "Hui Libao, don't you want to play truthfully, right?" More than 10,000 of our horsemen were defeated by Gao Yu's hundreds of armored horsemen...... Report it, in case Long Yan is angry, do you and I want to have heads? ”
Xiao Gan sighed: "It's all Song Guo weak and vulnerable, I didn't expect that there would also be a peerless general like Gao Yu, could it be that my national fortunes in Da Liao are going to take a sharp turn?" ”
Xiao Delis snorted: "No! They Song State values literature over martial arts, and the most capable generals, Gao Yu's good at opening border provocations, will not end well! ”
"Unauthorized provocation?" Xiao Gan was stunned for a moment, "How did the Taishi know that he was provoking the border?" ”
"This is not clear, only hundreds of armored horsemen were dispatched, and they also disguised themselves as diviners...... Isn't it useful to be provoking without permission? ”
Xiao Gan suddenly realized, "It's still too much of a wise teacher!" ”
……
Of course, Gao Taiwei didn't know at this time that he had committed the unforgivable crime of opening the border without permission.
He was poured by Wu Haogu yesterday I don't know how many wine immortals, and he is still sleeping at this time, and he doesn't know that he has become a famous general who has won more with less and defeated more than 10,000 Khitan troops again.
Moreover, Wu Haogu, a profiteer, didn't plan to let him know at all......
Hmm, because Wu Haogu, who couldn't fight, didn't know that the Khitan army had been defeated! How would he know? He's also very drunk, and he's sleeping with Olga in his arms!
"No one is allowed to say it! You know! ”
"Please rest assured, Captain, we will be tight-lipped!"
"Taiwei rest assured, a certain family swears to Tianli that our real men will never leak the news."
To the north of the Song army camp, a small camp was hidden in the grassland. Wu Haogu, Zhao Zhongge, and Murong Parrot saw Wanyan Xianye and Wu Tian and others who had returned victorious, and awarded them a reward - one ingot of gold for each person! It was Wu Haogu's own pocket.
At the same time, Wu Haogu also issued a gag order!
In today's victory, no one can know that he did it...... secretly accumulating private soldiers, and also provoking on the side, hehe, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there are probably not many such generals, right?
"Slash," he said to Wan Yan Slash with a smile again, "Jiehe Shang City just sent a letter saying that the Goryeo Kingdom has been defeated by you...... Aguta hopes that you can go back with the people and do a great job. ”
"Haha," Slash laughed, "the Khitan is nothing more than that, and the Goryeo country is even more vulnerable!" Wu Taiwei, it seems that the day when we give birth to Jurchen and the Great Song Dynasty will join forces to destroy Liao is not far off! ”
Who wants to join forces with you to destroy Liao! Wu Haogu thought to himself: Let you go home early so that someone will go to Kaifeng Mansion to make a perjury! The official family may not believe in himself and Gao Yu, but he will definitely believe in you, an international friend.
Wu Haogu smiled: "That's a good dare!" After a while, I will go back to Kaifeng Mansion, and when you go back with a certain group, when you see the official family, talk about it. ”
Wanyan also bowed, and said: "If the Taiwei can do this, he is my daughter's true benefactor, please accept my worship!" ”
He has now inspected the Song army! It's still amazing! The cavalry is no worse than the raw girl, the combat effectiveness of the infantry is even more amazing, and there is a secret method to collapse the city wall. If you can join forces with such a powerful country, it will not be a piece of cake to destroy Liao!
Wu Haogu hurriedly helped Yan Xianye, and said solemnly: "If one day in the future you raise the anti-flag, a certain family will definitely lead a large army across the sea to Liaodong." ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Wan Yan Xian was also overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wu Haogu's crossing of the sea to Liaodong was not to help destroy Liao, but to grab territory......
……
Gao Yu woke up.
I opened my eyes in a daze, my head was dizzy, and my face was not very good-looking. Because he had a nightmare, he dreamed that he was reprimanded by the official Zhao Ji, and he was also detained in the Yushitai, and the people in the Yushitai said that he had committed the crime of winning the war!
It's ridiculous, and it's a sin to win a battle......
"Someone!" Gao Yu shouted, wanting his servants to come in and serve.
"Brother Gao, you're awake!" It was Wu Haogu who opened the curtain and came in, with a beaming face, even happier than being promoted.
"Da Lang," Gao Yu yawned, sat up from the bed, looked at Wu Haogu and asked, "Is there anything good?" ”
"Yes!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The Khitans have retreated...... Retired last night! ”
"Really?" Gao Yu sighed, "It's good to retreat." ”
"Yes," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Now you can rest assured...... Brother Gao, let's hurry up and build a few more cities on both sides of the Mingtang River, so that they can be connected to the Mida Cave. It is better to build a castle every 100 miles, and at the same time build some wooden boats, so that you can communicate with Mida Cave through the Myeongdang River.
In addition, cavalry was sent to sweep the southern part of the grassland in Jinze and Hetao. If possible, advance to the south bank of the Yellow River and find a suitable place to build Shuozhou City. ”
Wu Haogu put forward a lot of suggestions for building cities and grabbing land. Because he knows that the Khitans who have been beaten will not be peaceful for long, and they will come to the door again!
After all, the battle in the early hours of this morning has not hurt the Khitans! Although a few hundred horsemen crushed more than 10,000 of them, it looked very shocking. But the casualties of the Khitans were not large after all, and Yelu Yanxi was likely to want to get back on the field.
So it's likely that the war will be rekindled here in the Loop! Therefore, he must preemptively complete the defense line of Mingtang River - Dijinze - grassland on the south bank of the Hetao - Shuozhou City before the Liao army arrives.
Only in this way can we be invincible after the arrival of the Khitan army.
And as long as the Khitan army has nowhere to start, real peace can be expected.
"Are you really in such a hurry?" Gao Yu looked at Wu Haogu's eager appearance, "Our brothers have enough credit, it's time to leave some for others." ”
Wu Haogu smiled: "Then call Su Bochong and let him preside over the construction of the city...... If these cities are built, he will be able to transfer a few officials, and maybe even squeeze into the Privy Council. ”
"This is the best, as long as Su Bo can charge up, we can rest assured." Gao Yu nodded. Now Su Dongpo is in very bad health, and he will die at any time. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate a civil servant who can speak in the government hall or the Privy Council!
