Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 319

The Khitan general's smile was still on his face, and he saw that the Wanyan Yinshuke army in front of him no longer ran eastward, but the whole army suddenly turned southward, circled around the river, then turned westward, Non-stop towards the Liao army counter-killed.

"Wanyan Yinshu is going to fight against the beast? Gather the army!" Yeluchi Gou'er sensed something was wrong, his army was already scattered in the pursuit, but after running wildly for a long time, the Jin army was still there. Maintained a dense shock formation.In such a comparison, the training of the two armies is superior to each other.

Although Yelu Chi Gou'er had tens of thousands of people, they were in a mess at this moment, scattered in small groups on the ground, and had already lost their formation.At this moment, Yelu Chigou'er is surrounded by only a few generals and more than 500 relatives.

For Yeluchi Gou'er, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. Wanyan Yinshu had already led his army to disperse the Liao army in front, and went straight to kill his relatives.Only now did he understand that Wanyan Yinshuke's army had just feigned defeat and caused his own army to run out of formation, while the Jin army was defeated but not chaotic, maintaining a charge formation.

"Hold on! Hold on! Order the whole army to move closer to our Chinese army!" Yelu Chi Gou'er refused to accept defeat, ordered the Chinese army to resist desperately, and at the same time collected soldiers. Can be trapped in heavy siege.

It's a pity that the opportunity of the Yelu Chigou'er army has been lost. Although the Liao army has a large number of out-of-form formations, they can't stand up to the Wanyan Yinshuke army who came in a dense charge formation.The former army of the Liao army was quickly killed and dispersed, but Wanyan Yinshu took the lead and led the army into Yelu Chigou'er's central army.

Yelu Chigou'er's hundreds of relatives are the essence of this Liao army, but they can't withstand the impact of more than 2000 Jurchen troops.In the blink of an eye, several of the generals around Yelu Chigou'er were beheaded by Wanyan Yinshu and his son, and more than half of the more than 500 relatives were killed or injured.

At this moment, Yelu Chi Gou'er could no longer care about organizing a counterattack, so he hurriedly rode his horse and fled to the west of Changchun City.Behind him, only dozens of personal soldiers remained to guard him.

The main general fled, and the generals of the left and right armies of the Liao army lost their unified dispatch and fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own.Some generals led troops and fled to the west in a panic following Yelu Chigou'er, while some generals yelled "Kill the thief for the country" and rushed towards Wanyan Yinshuke's army.

It's a pity that the entire Liao army has collapsed, and a few warriors could not change the situation of the battle, and were easily defeated one by one by the Jin army on the battlefield.

Along the Song Wa River, the bloody battle between the Jin and Liao armies was now truly decided. Yelu Chigou'er's 8000 Liao Khitan army was defeated by Wanyan Yinshuke's [-] elite cavalry, causing casualties. Tragic and defeated.

Wanyan Yinshu Kejun fought hard for half a day, but he still didn't want to accept it.Wanyan Yinshu can leave Wanyan Ba ​​Lisu to sweep the battlefield and continue to expand the results of the battle, while he leads Wanyan Huying to chase and beat Yeluchi Gou'er's remnant army, trying to kill Yeluchi Gou'er.

Yeluchi Gou'er was able to protect Emperor Tianzuo and escape hundreds of miles in one breath during the battle of protecting the Budanggang that determined the fate of the two countries. His ability to escape is naturally top-notch.From the edge of the Songwa River to the city of Changchun, Yelu Chi Gou'er rode his horse and galloped like flying, even Wanyan Yinshu couldn't catch up.

But when Yeluchi Gou'er came to the city of Changchun Prefecture, his face turned pale with fright, he let out a cry of pain, and nearly fell off his horse.

Chapter 5 Eleven The Mongolian Army Runs Away

When Yelu Chigou'er fled back to the city of Changchun Prefecture with more than a thousand Khitan cavalry gathered around him along the way, he suddenly found that the flag on the top of the city had been replaced by the battle flag of the Jin Army.The banner of the Liao army and the corpses of the soldiers defending the city fell under the city wall, and the city of Changchun has fallen!

Seeing the retreating Khitan cavalry, the Jin army on the city wall immediately bowed their bows and set up arrows, and greeted Yeluchi Gou'er and his party with a shower of arrows.

"No! How is this possible! Who took my Changchun Prefecture?" Yelu Chi Gou'er screamed unwillingly while striking arrows with a long knife in his hand.

Before the battle, Yeluchi Gou'er sent scouts around and confirmed that there was only Wanyan Yinshu in Changchun Prefecture, a lone army ahead.Because of this, Yelu Chigou'er wanted to seize the opportunity to destroy the three thousand Jurchens.

Although his skills are not as good as others, he, who commanded an army of 8000 people, was still defeated by Wanyan Yinshuke's [-] elite soldiers in the frontal battlefield, but Yeluchi Gou'er, the general, at least knew how he was defeated. .But how did the Jurchen army who seized the city of Changchun get to the city?Could it be that they have wings and can fall from the sky?

"That's Liao dog Yelu Chigou'er! Don't let him go!" A Jurchen warrior on the city wall recognized Yeluchi Gouer, the highest general in Changchun Prefecture.

"Yeluchi Gou'er, you idiot! Changchun Prefecture has been taken over by me! Don't you dismount and surrender?" A Jurchen general in armor and holding an epee appeared on the city gate tower. Wanyan Nian, the famous general of the Jurchen clan, didn't drink.

It turned out that Wanyan Nian didn't know that after Wanyan Yinshu Kejun crossed the Song Wa River west, he immediately led his troops to Ningjiang Prefecture to cooperate with Wanyan Yinshu Kejun in combat.

When Wanyan Yinshu led out the Liao army in Changchun Prefecture and sent someone to report to Wanyan Maji and asked him to send troops to respond, Wanyan Nian took over the command without drinking, and after conspiring with Wanyan Yinshu, He personally led troops to ambush to the east bank of Songwa River.

When Wanyan Yinshuke's army and Yelu Chigou'er's army confronted each other and formed a group, Wanyan Nianmeihua led his army across the Song Wa River, eliminated the Liao army's Tanma along the way, and approached Changchun city by detour.

Wanyan Yinshu can ignite the food and grass in his own army camp. On the one hand, he is deliberately showing weakness to lure Yelu Chigou'er army to chase him, and on the other hand, he is using fire as a pretext for Wanyan Nianbuyajun.

After Wanyan Nian didn't know that Wanyan Yinshu could deceive the main force of the Liao army, he immediately led his army to the city of Changchun Prefecture, killing the Liao army by surprise.How could the defenseless Changchun City be able to stop Wanyan Nian's army, and it was completely conquered by him in a short time.

"It's Wanyannian who's here! General, let's run away!" Seeing that the city was captured, and the leader of the enemy army was Wanyannian, the emperor's favorite general, the Liao army completely lost their fighting spirit. Advise Yelu Chigou'er to run for his life.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat to Taizhou!" Yelu Chi Gou'er was also frightened, not daring to fight, so he rode his horse to bypass the city and flee to Taizhou in the northwest.

It is reported that the [-] main force of Xiao Yixue's army is stationed in Taizhou, and the coalition forces of the grassland tribes will also arrive soon.Yeluchi Gou'er knew that he would be safe if he fled to Taizhou, and he could gather the remnants of the defeated generals to counterattack Changchun Prefecture and avenge today's defeat and humiliation.

"Yeluchi Gou'er, my horse's neck is missing your dog's head, where are you going to escape? Why don't you take your life!" Wanyan Yinshu led his army to catch up.

At the same time, Wan Yannian's army also rushed out from the city, blocking the way of Yeluchi's dog army.

Yeluchi Gou'er led the army to rush left and right, struggling to the death, but he couldn't get out no matter what.The Jin army surrounded them on all sides, besieging Yelu Chigou'er's remnants like iron barrels under the city wall of Changchun Prefecture.

Yelu Chigou'er's pro-army was running out, and he could no longer follow him to charge and kill.For Yeluchi Gou'er, there are only two choices now: Either give up your dignity, dismount and surrender, and beg Wanyan Nianbudao and Wanyan Yinshu to wait for someone to spare your life; or you can only fight for the last respect. Yan Guangrong died in battle.

Yelu Chi Gou'er chose the last dignity as a Khitan general, and single-handedly killed Wanyan Yinshuke.

Yeluchi Gou'er, who was already exhausted, faced Wanyan Yinshuke, who could bind tigers and bears with his bare hands, and the outcome was already doomed.The two fought each other only a few times, Wanyan Yinshu killed Yeluchi Gou'er under the horse.

As soon as Yeluchi Gou'er died, his remnant army either died or surrendered under the pursuit of the Jin army, and the whole army was wiped out.

The Battle of Changchun Prefecture between the Jin and Liao Dynasties ended with the death of Yeluchi Gouer, the leader of the Liao army, the destruction of the entire [-] Liao army, and the ending of the Jin army's light capture of Changchun Prefecture.

Bo'er Jijin? Hebuler and Jiao Ting led five hundred cavalrymen quietly hid in Yu'erlo in the northwest of Changchun Prefecture, monitoring the battle between the Liao and Jin armies.

After seeing the battle, Bo'er Ji Jin? He Bule said to Jiao Ting, your brother Ximen, my future brother-in-law Ximen Qing said it well.The Liao Kingdom has been completely decayed, and it is by no means an opponent of the newly rising Jin Kingdom.The good men on our prairie should not sacrifice their lives in vain for the mediocre Emperor Tian Zuo, and should return to the prairie to recuperate.

Bo'er Jijin Hebuler returned to the big camp by the Talu River, and told his father and the generals of the coalition army what he had seen and heard.

Bo'er Jijin? Tun must make a decisive decision and decide to return to the bank of the Onan River with the grassland coalition forces.Before the Jin and Liao countries had a winner, the Mongolian tribal army stopped going south.

After Jiao Ting completed the task entrusted by his elder brother Ximenqing to contact the Mongolian tribes and prevent them from participating in the war, he also decided to break up with the Mongols, and led his men across the Kingdom of Jin and returned to the Song Dynasty.

Bo'er Jijin? Tun Bi Nai asked Jiao Ting to bring many gifts to his daughter and Ximen Qing, and asked him to tell Ximen Qing to invite him to the prairie as a guest when conditions permit.

Bo'er Ji Jin? He Bule led the army to send Jiao Ting tens of miles away before he bid farewell to Jiao Ting and turned back to chase after the Mongolian tribal army.Jiao Ting also led the team to Song Wajiang with ease.

When the Grassland Allied Forces crossed the Jinshan Mountains and disappeared into the north wind, the envoys sent by Bo'er Jijin? Tun Bi Nai just arrived at the Hun River and entered Xiao Yixue's camp.

Xiao Yixue had already heard the news that Yelu Chigou'er was defeated and died, the [-] Liao army was wiped out, and Changchun Prefecture fell into the hands of the Jin army.Terrified, he was anxiously waiting for the allied forces of the grassland tribes to come to meet and strengthen his army.

Hearing that Bo'er Jijin? Tun Bi Nai's messenger had arrived, Xiao Yixue hastily summoned him.Unexpectedly, the Mongolian messenger brought him a bad news: Because he received a secret report that the Naiman and Tatar tribes in the north were plotting to attack the Mongolian tribes by the Onan River, Borjijin Tunbi had no choice but to In the middle of the march, he turned back to the prairie, so he could not come to help the respected Xiao Yi and Xue Dutong.

After Xiao Yixue sent the Mongolian messenger away with a livid face, he slammed the silver wine cup in his hand to the ground.

Chapter 5 Brothers' Mission Achieved

Xiao Yixue knew in his heart that with the successive defeats of the Liao army, the hearts of the tribes in the grassland who had surrendered to the Khitans were fluctuating, and cracks had appeared in their loyalty to the Khitans.Obviously, the Mongolian Ministry wanted to remain neutral in the battle between Liao and Jin, and sit back and watch the tigers fight.He, the majestic Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion of the Great Liao Kingdom and the governor of the Northeast Road, is afraid that he will no longer be able to command Bo'er Jijin? Tun Bi Nai that old fox from now on.

Although he knew that the Mongolian envoy sent by Bo'er Jijin? Tun Bi Nai was fooling himself, but Xiao Yixue did not dare to get angry in front of the Mongols, tearing the last fig leaf of both sides.Now that the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin have exhausted the Khitan people, even though Xiao Yixue felt dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to force the various ministries of Mongolia to rebel against the precarious Daliao Kingdom.

Xiao Yixue suppressed the anger in his heart and sent the Mongolian messenger back. He also sent a team of messengers with many gifts to go to the Qiyan tribe on the prairie with the Mongolian messenger, expressing his gratitude to Borjijin? Greetings and care from the Daliao Kingdom.

Xiao Yixue adopts such a gentle policy, naturally hoping that although the Mongolian ministries are alienated from the Khitan of the Liao Kingdom, they still retain their vassal relationship in form, so as to confuse the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom and prevent Wanyan Aguda from knowing that the Liao Kingdom is going to Beijing. The Tao has begun to fall apart.

Xiao Yixue, who is the prime minister of the Northern Mansion of the Great Liao Kingdom and the governor of the Northeast Road, did not know that the key person who caused this situation is not in the northern prairie, but that person is going south to the south of the Yangtze River in the distant Song Dynasty to ask for a miracle doctor!

Losing the strength of the coalition forces of various ministries in the grassland, Xiao Yixue, who was alone and alone, did not dare to march to Taizhou again. He retreated back to Ningzhou with his [-] troops in a hurry, abandoning the defense line from Changchun Prefecture to Taizhou of the Liao Army.After returning to Ningzhou City, Xiao Yixue immediately sent a letter to Zhongjing Emperor Yelu Yanxi to report the emergency military situation, accusing Changchun Prefecture Guard Yelu Chi Gouer of not listening to his own schedule, so rejoicing, he opened the city without authorization to fight against the Jin Army, and the result was all The army was wiped out and Changchun Prefecture was lost.In view of the threat of the Jin army on Shangjing Road, Xiao Yixue implored Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi to dispatch troops to strengthen the defense of Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was furious when he received the information about the fall of the army in Changchun Prefecture, and ordered the family property of Yelu Chigouer, who had been defeated and humiliated the country, to be confiscated, and all his family members were captured and enslaved.

General Jinwuwei of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yujian, the governor of the East Road, and others will work with Yelu Chigou'er in the same dynasty for many years.

However, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi insisted on going his own way, and still punished Yelu Chigou'er's family members with serious crimes and served them as slaves.Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi completely forgot how Yeluchi Gou'er fought desperately to protect him from the chaos during the Battle of Protecting Budaogang.

The death of Yeluchi Gou'er, a veteran general of the Liao Kingdom, and the tragic experience of his family made many generals in the army feel chilled. Compared with Jin Guoxiang, the Liao army, which was already at a disadvantage, became more popular.Under the pressure of internal and external troubles, an undercurrent is surging in the Liao Kingdom.
