What the Great Liao Civil War looked like, Zhao Zhen and others could not see. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, since Yelu Chongyuan had already sent all the defenders on the Song-Liao border to help, it is conceivable that the battle situation must be very anxious.

......

In fact, the war situation in Liao was far more tragic than imagined.

War is inherently cruel, and this kind of rebellion and counterinsurgency war is even more of a life-and-death situation.

Yelu Hongji's winter moon hunt did not take away all the leather room army, and there were still 30,000 defenders in Dading City.

This new emperor of Daliao is not stupid, although he is not in Dading City, but this is the capital of a country after all, how can he give it to Yelu Chongyuan?

From the twentieth day of the winter month to this time, Liaodu Dading is like a hell on earth and a sea of blood Shura.

The besieging army besieged the small Dading city into an iron barrel, and the defending army took advantage of the city wall to fight to the end.

The current situation is that 30,000 leather room troops are holding the city, and Yelu Chongyuan can't put all the 100,000 troops into the siege battle, so he has to allocate 50,000 to delay the speed of Yelu Hongji's reinforcements, and would rather die than let Yelu Hongji rush to help, forming an internal and external attack.

......

Yelu Chongyuan is unlucky, but he is also lucky.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the Songglu and Xiao Guhun would react so quickly, and even raise 60,000 Qin Wang's troops to join Yelu Hongji, which was completely out of plan.

The 90,000 army reinforced Dading together, which really made him break out in a cold sweat.

Luckily, the unpredictable weather in the north helped him.

From the 22nd day of the winter month, heavy snow fell from the north of Dading to the line of Linhuang, and the "smoking" wind and snow blew for more than ten days in a row, and the snow in the north was more than three feet thick, completely blocking the road to the south, making it difficult for Yelu Hongji's reinforcements to advance very slowly.

Otherwise, how could his 50,000 troops blocking the enemy make Yelu Hongji's 90,000 elite soldiers not return to Dading near the New Year?

However, Yelu Chongyuan knew very well that God alone could not stop Yelu Hongji.

The 90,000 troops have been pushed to a position less than 150 miles away from Dading, and even if there are 50,000 blocking troops to thwart its sharpness, it will only take half a month at most to reach the city of Dading.

Now, his 50,000 troops are desperately attacking the city despite the winter cold, but after a month, the leather room army on the head of the city is less than 20,000, but his losses are even heavier, and the siege soldiers are only 30,000, and more than 20,000 people are filled under the city of Dading.

In desperation, Yelu Chongyuan could only take risks and urgently summoned the 30,000 defenders on the Song-Liao border.

As long as Dading is captured before Yelu Hongji's arrival, plus the 50,000 troops who block the enemy, he still has 100,000 strong soldiers in his hands, occupying the advantages of Dading City, and fighting to the death with Yelu Hongji, the victory is still very large.

......

――――――――

Yelu Chongyuan's side is not much to say, the fact that the border is not fortified for a thousand miles alone is enough to make the Great Song monarchs and ministers tempted.

Don't forget, there is now a new cement road of Songliao Avenue between the Great Song Dynasty and Yanyun.

This road is like a smooth road to the sky, connecting Yanyun and Da Song together.

Don't look at the Great Song army retreated to the Daimyo's Mansion, far away from the border. However, if Zhao Zhen really wants to go north, it only takes five days...... In five days, you can cross the undefended Baigou River, and in seven days, you can enter Youzhou, which is like an empty city.

It has always been the Great Liao Giant Sword hanging high and pointing at the Great Song Dynasty, when did the hundred-year-old Yanyun be so easy for the Great Song Dynasty?

Who can not be tempted by such a temptation?

There was already a lot of noise in the court, and some warmongers of course claimed that this was a golden opportunity, and the situation was better than the situation of the Yongxi Northern Expedition. As long as the Great Song Dynasty raised two armies to the north, in addition to Yunzhou, Yanyun within the Great Wall lost ground, and there was hope for recovery.

And there are also a lot of people who are slacking off to live in peace, how can the Huanghuang Tiansong ignore morality and turn his back on Zude. Since the border troops have been withdrawn, they cannot be treacherous, do villainous things, and be ashamed of all the nations of the world.

......

For those war-fearing Confucians, even righteous ministers like Bao Zheng sneered. If you don't dare to fight, you say you don't dare to fight, what kind of righteousness is there at this time, what kind of gentleman is pretending to be?

Of course, Zhao Zhen, Wen, Fu and other ministers of the humerus would not listen to the slander of the small people, but they were not carried away by the main fighters.

Zhao Zhen also wanted to take back Yan Yun immediately, but it was not the best time to send troops immediately.

First, there are too many deviations from the original vision. It has been less than two months since the beginning of the Great Liao rebellion, and the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is monarchs, ministers, military generals, or logistics materials, is not ready to intervene in the battlefield so quickly.

Second, at this time, neither Yelu Hongji nor Yelu Chongyuan has reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones. Once the Great Song Dynasty marched north, it is difficult to say whether Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Hongji would temporarily stop the war and go to the outside world.

If that's the case, with the current style of the Great Song Dynasty's army, even if Yanyun is taken away, can it be defended?

......

However, just as the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty hesitated, the situation of the Great Liao War changed again.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, there are only two days before the Shangyuan Festival, and the north will spread the war report again:

Yelu Chongyuan, defeated!!

......

Zhao Zhen received the report and was stunned for a quarter of an hour.

"How...... How could you lose so quickly!? ”

Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Pang Ji, Di Qing and others in the next place are all pale.

Wen Yanbo said: "After the year, Xu is Yelu Hongji also knows that as soon as Yelu Chongyuan's reinforcements arrive, Dading City will be broken only in the evening, and he will not be allowed to delay for a moment. Yes, at any cost, he fought a bloody battle with Yelu Chongyuan to prevent the enemy south of Yikun Prefecture. After many days of hard fighting, at the cost of losing 50,000 soldiers, all the Yelu Chongyuan troops were annihilated. ”

"Then, he traveled day and night, and finally returned to Dading on the seventh day of the first month."

"Now, Yelu Chongyuan has lost 50,000 in the north to Yelu Hongji, and nearly 30,000 in the long attack on Dading, and there are only 50,000 available soldiers left in his hands.

Pang Ji was a little unwilling, "Yelu Chongyuan has no chance to turn the tables?" ”

Di Qing shook his head solemnly, "Yelu Chongyuan has been rebelling for more than two months, except for Tujitai and Naziye, the two divisions of King Qin in various places have to defend Western Xia and are late to increase their troops, and Xiao Hui's Beijing Dao is indeed blocked by heavy snow and cannot go south, and the rest of the divisions have already joined Yelu Hongji one after another. ”

"Don't look at this battle, Yelu Hongji is also very damaged, but now he is fighting more and more people, and Yelu Chongyuan is just the opposite, he has a total of 150,000 troops in his hands, and one is one less dead!"

"20,000 defended Yunzhou at the risk of the Great Wall in Baisaka Road, and the remaining 130,000 were all thrown into the battlefield, but they ended up losing 80,000 elite soldiers."

"So......" Di Qing's voice was a little difficult. Therefore, the general trend of Yelu Chongyuan has gone! ”

“......”

“......”

“......”

All the ministers present were silent, never expecting that it would be such a result.

Zhao Zhen looked at everyone with luck, "Then now, is it still possible for us to enter the army?" ”

Di Qing lamented, "Don't act rashly......"

......

"Isn't it worth the risk?" Zhao Zhen obviously didn't give up.

"Your Majesty!" Di Qing said mournfully. "The minister also wants to restore me Yanyun, but at this time, it is tantamount to self-destruction to forcibly march into the army!"

“......”
