Chapter 25: The Golden Arrow Herald
There is still some snow on the seawall that has not melted, Lin Lian has been blown by the wind and frost and the sun these days, his dark face is red to the bonfire, his cheeks are like knives and axes, the lines are resolute and hard, his thick eyebrows are wrinkled, and his eyes are staring at the map spread on the mud floor, which is the map of Qingxian and Jinhai counties on the northeast coast of Hejian Province.
According to the reconnaissance and search intelligence of the scouts, Lin Jian deduced in detail the course of the battle situation in which Yang Zhaoqi's troops were surrounded and annihilated in the eastern part of Gaoyang County.
At the beginning of November, Yang Zhaoqi led his troops to leave Gyeonggi and go to Yannan, in order to confine the main force of the Dongyu cavalry to the narrow area between Yannan and Gyeonggi.
Although Yang Zhaoqi's troops are mainly foot soldiers, but Hao Zongcheng led the Jibei Jing Cavalry to respond in fifty or sixty miles, and encountered the enemy in the wild, with Yang Zhaoqi's attitude of actively fighting the main battle, it was impossible for him to retreat from an ordinary scale encounter with the enemy cavalry, and perhaps at the beginning of the battle, Yang Zhaoqi had a great advantage in terms of troops.
Yang Zhaoqi did not consider the mobility of the cavalry in the east, and did not shrink in the direction of Gaoyang City in time, so that the Donglu had enough time to take advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry in the frozen plains in winter, and quickly gather troops from all over the place, forming a troop advantage over Yang Zhaoqi's troops and completing the encirclement.
With the cavalry force that participated in the battle at that time, it was impossible to complete the iron-bucket encirclement of Yang Zhaoqi's troops in the field, so heavy troops should be deployed between Gaoyang City and the battlefield to prevent Yang Zhaoqi's troops from retreating into Gaoyang County, which was also captured the day after Yang Zhaoqi's troops were completely annihilated, and leaving enough surveillance forces between Yang Zhaoqi's troops and Hao Zongcheng's troops in the northwest
As far as the Dongyu cavalry before the Battle of Gaoyang is concerned, it has just entered Gyeonggi from Xuanhua Pobian, and does not know the details of the Yanjing defenders and the divisions of the Qinwang Divisions in various towns, and the main force is assembled in the southwest of Gyeonggi, and has not yet dared to deploy on a large scale.
After the Battle of Goyang began, the Dongyu cavalry continued to move from the southwest corner of Gyeonggi to Goyang, and the direction of the movement of troops was from the northwest to the southeast.
In this situation, the entire east and south of the Gaoyang venue, that is, the entire northern area of Hejian Province, left enough space for Yang Zhaoqi's department to break through.
Although the captive cavalry's sharp interspersed cutting tactical actions made it extremely difficult for Yang Zhaoqi's troops to have a chance to break through with a complete formation, but the 30,000 captive cavalry annihilated none of the 20,000 Jin soldiers left, and Lin Jian did not believe it.
After the Battle of Gaoyang, Hao Zongcheng's troops retreated north in a hurry, and the eastern captives quickly occupied Tongkou and Gaoyang, and sent troops to take Cangxian County and Liuxian County in the northeast of Cangxian County.
"There should still be remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers in Qingxian and Jinhai to hold on," Lin Tie's fingers vigorously pointed to the Qingxian and Jinhai areas in the north of Hejian Prefecture, "The dock villages in this area are the most resolute and powerful against the captive cavalry, and the villages such as Vortex and Changlu have a record of being besieged by the captives several times, and they should be strengthened by the remnants of Yang Zhaoqi......
"It's just that the remnants of Yang Zhaoqi hate Donglu to the bone, and probably hate the friendly army to the bone......" Wu Qi sighed, he sent people to infiltrate the northern part of Hejian Mansion several times to reconnoiter and liaise, but there was no big gain, and the elite scouts he could use were limited, so he mainly had to take care of them with the army.
In the Battle of Gaoyang, Dongyu used cavalry to fight, and the tactics were perfect; But the deadliest blow to Yang Zhaoqi's troops came from the inaction of the friendly Hao Zongcheng troops.
The result of the Battle of Gaoyang was to directly make the Zhulu Qin Wang Shi suspicious of each other, and they all flinched, not daring to fight with the captive cavalry; If the remnants of the Jin soldiers were not annihilated by the Eastern Prisoners, it would be absolutely impossible to trust the so-called "friendly forces" in a short period of time.
In addition, there are countless Han people and town government troops who have defected, such as the Linqing defenders who defected, so that the 10,000 defenders of Linqing fell into the hands of the Dongyu, and the Donglu also cunningly used the rebel officers and soldiers to pretend to be reinforcements to lure the dock village to open the gate and easily break it.
There have been several such precedents, and the remnants of the Jin soldiers trapped in the enemy dock will be more cautious and vigilant against friendly messengers who come to contact.
"I'm afraid it's hard to contact...... Zhou Pu said, for betraying friendly troops, Zhou Pu They have a painful skin, which directly led to them being a rogue horse thief for ten years to kill officials and officers and soldiers, and now the entire Hejian Mansion has been swept by the captive cavalry, there are no people left behind, and the road is blocked by the Dongjian Sentinel from time to time, and it is difficult for the news of the victory in Cangnan to reach the dock village in the northern part of Hejian Province that has been isolated, even if there are remnants of the Jin Zhong soldiers still holding on to the north of the Hejian Department, they send scouts to intersperse the past, and they cannot gain the trust of the other party, Otherwise, it is the best policy to contact the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers.
"It's very difficult to gain their trust," Lin Jian said, "Before, Zhao Qingshan said that he wanted to intercept the tired army of Na Hexiong Qi, and Ning Zechen asked questions, asking what kind of intention should be achieved in this battle?" After all, it is unrealistic to kill and injure the Nahexiong Qi Department or defeat the Nahe Xiongqi Department on a large scale, and the pure competition and attrition will only put the Jiangdong Left Army in a more disadvantageous situation, but we stride along the coastline to the north of Hejian Province, drag the Nahe Xiongqi tired army to the north of Hejian Province, and fight two battles there, do you say it makes sense? ”
"My lord, we really think it through, and there is indeed no better way to win the trust of the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers than a real battle," Zhao Qingshan said excitedly, "Fight his mother in the north of Hejian Mansion, the more and less the Hexiong Qi Department fights, but we may fight more and more!" ”
"Not necessarily," Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, "We can't be blindly optimistic, let's go to Hejian Mansion, Ye Ji Luorong on the northern line may send troops to strengthen the Nahe Xiongqi ......"
"We are maneuvering along the coastline, and Yeji Luorong is not afraid of him when he sends troops, it's a big deal that we should be a retracted turtle, there is nothing shameful about this!" Zhao Qingshan said.
Everyone laughed.
Lin Jian said: "The first and fourth battalions move north along the coastline by land, and the third battalion, the fifth battalion and the workers' battalion move north along the coastline by sea boats......
***************
Nahe Xiongqi prevented the tired army from being attacked, and after being convinced that the remaining troops in Xiaobo Village would be completely annihilated, he led the main force of 4,000 captives to march slowly to Xiaobo Tou Village until the third day.
In addition to the ruins that continue to blow out black ashes, the entire Xiaobotou village has been completely burned to ruins, nearly 2,000 charred and deformed corpses were abandoned on the site in front of the walled gate, a large group of crows who flew from nowhere stopped on the corpses and pecked at almost all the burned corpses, alarmed by the dense sound of horses' hooves, and flew up.
The Jiangdong Left Army's scouts in the area of Xiaobotou Village saw a large number of captives galloping towards the outpost, and after lighting the beacon fire, they rode their horses and galloped north. The cavalry outpost had a grudge, hit the horse and chased far away, and was about to reach the mouth of a small river, suddenly a rain of arrows shot from behind the embankment, and was caught off guard, more than a dozen horses were planted with arrows and dismounted from the horse, and the remaining cavalry quickly reined in the horse and scattered to the wings to avoid the ambush, and saw dozens of soldiers jumping into the back of the embankment, and the Jiangdong left army to stay behind the scouts to converge, and quickly retreated to the sea along the embankment. The captives rode their horses and approached, and when they went to the sea pond, they saw two black trough sailing boats parked in the river, and the scouts and ambush foot soldiers left behind by the Jiangdong Left Army quickly sailed away from the seawall after boarding the boat, and they were helpless to pursue.
Xinjue Timur looked at the devastation and miserable situation, shouted with hatred, jumped off the horse, took a bow and arrows to shoot down several corpse pecking crows flying in front of him, hated to break a good carved horn riding bow to vent the hatred in his heart, watched Na He Xiongqi slowly rode over, grabbed his horse head rope, hated and scolded: "You are a ghost who is afraid of death, let the great enemy retreat calmly, and it is another nine hundred Donghu men who died in front of you, you open your eyes and see, what is your heart made of!" To the Khan's tent, I'm not done with you! ”
"Smack!" Nahe Xiongqi raised his hand and clasped the gun in his hand, hit the root of Xinjue Timur's ear, and caused Xinjue Timur to stagger and fall into the muddy brown and black earth. Xinjue Timur was stunned for a moment in pain, and scolded: "Your mother, you dare to beat Lao Tzu!" He drew his sword like a madman, and wanted to kill Na Hexiongqi off his horse, but the guards on the left and right pounced on him and fell to the ground.
Na He Xiongqi said coldly: "Tie up, strip naked, whip thirty whips, whip hard, every whip will see blood, who dares to be soft, I will skin him!" Tell the generals that whoever dares to speak lightly will be given thirty lashes......"
Xinjue Timur's eyes were red, his head was raised stiffly, and he scolded at Na Hexiongqi: "You/, the Japanese ladies are still Lao Tzu holding their hands for you, you dare to smoke Lao Tzu, you don't avenge the dead Donghu boys, they will let you go if they become ghosts......"
Na He Xiongqi waved his hand coldly and let the left and right drag Xinjue Timur to be tortured, he only hated that he did not insist on his own judgment, hated these arrogant generals for arrogantly contemplating the enemy, and twice fought the Jiangdong Left Army to fight the round battle.
At this time, dozens of horsemen galloped from a distance, and while riding their horses and running wildly, they shouted: "The golden arrow of the Khan King has given an order, and Nahe Xiongqi has come out to receive the order...... "The outer sentinels checked and let them go.
Na Hexiong Qi hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one knee. Timur of Xinjue on the side laughed hatefully and scolded: "Call you a dog/mother's order to smoke Lao Tzu, and the wise Yezir Khan sent an envoy to teach you a lesson for me!" ”
Nakh Xiongqi ignored Xinjue Timur and knelt down to greet the messenger of the Khan.
The messenger galloped up to Nakh Xiongqi, threw a large gold-painted arrow straight into his face, and said loudly: "King Khan asked me to throw the golden arrow in your face, and I want you to do it yourself!" ”
Nahe Xiongqi picked up the golden arrow from the mud, inserted it into the quiver, turned around and glanced coldly at the stunned Xinjue Timur, and said, "Whip sixty whips, whip with iron!" You deserve it! ”
