Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 440

The army at this time did not have the modern communication command equipment of the later generations, and the soldiers followed the banner of the general when they advanced and retreated.

Therefore, the flag of an army is very important.Without the guidance of the flag, the soldiers are like a mess without the command of the general.

Because of this, beheading the general and capturing the flag is the most dazzling feat in ancient wars, and it has an influence on the success or failure of a battle.

The fierce generals in ancient times were all proud of beheading generals and capturing the flag among thousands of troops.

Shi Jinben was a well-educated kid from a rich family, and Ximen Qing made him study many military books, so he naturally understood this truth.

After failing to catch up and kill Xiao Yixue, Shi Jin's first thought was to capture Xiao Yixue's battle flag.

As soon as Xiao Yixue's battle flag fell, the morale of the tens of thousands of Liao troops on the battlefield was suddenly low and they fell into chaos.

The Liao army who followed Xiao Yixue knew that he was retreating to the camp, but the Liao army who was a little further away did not know whether the general was alive or dead.

Ximen Qing has been paying attention to Shi Jin and Yue Fei's surprise beheading operation.

Seeing that Xiao Yixue's battle flag was cut down, Ximen Qing immediately ordered the guards around him to shout together: "The Liao general Xiao Yixue is dead! Disarm and surrender!"

On the battlefield, there is nothing but reality, there is no need to deceive the enemy at this time, when will we wait?

The battle flag is the most important token and banner of an army. As long as the general's battle flag is down, it is hard to believe that the general died in battle.

In the future, when marching and fighting, we must choose a reliable standard bearer!

Ximenqing suddenly thought of Yu Baosi, the stupid big man who carried the flag for Song Jiang in history.That fellow is strong and fast, and he is indeed a talented person who carries the banner.

It's a pity that Yu Baosi's character is low and he is used to betraying his brothers, so Ximen Qing will not accept such a person.

After returning to Yanggu County, we have to train a few standard bearers!Ximen Qing made up his mind.

"Xiao Yixue, general of the Liao Dynasty, is dead! Disarm and surrender!"

"Xiao Yixue is dead! Disarm and surrender!"

"Surrender without killing!"

……

On the battlefield, thousands of warriors of Ximen Qing's army cheered.

Lu Yanlun was also a smart man. He heard the shouts of Ximen Qing's army from a distance, and he led his Han army and shouted in unison: "Our army has won a big victory! Disarm and don't kill!"

The entire army of Xiao Yi and Xue's army has fallen into chaos, how can one tell the truth from the fake at this moment.

Hearing the cheers of the enemy army wave after wave, many Liao soldiers had weak calves, dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Xiao Yixue originally invited the tribal cavalry of the Zoubu tribe, but when they heard that Xiao Yixue had died in battle, they immediately had no intention of fighting and scattered.

Those tribal cavalry who could escape fled across the mountains and mountains towards the desert grassland in the northwest, and those who could not escape also dismounted and surrendered with the Khitans.

But in a short while, the battle in the west of the city was basically over, and more than 1 Liao troops surrendered.There were also more than 1 Liao soldiers who died in battle or escaped, and those who followed Xiao Yixue back to the camp in the north of the city were only a few thousand remnants.

Ximenqing sent troops to occupy the western camp of the Liao army, and left the hard work of capturing the prisoners to Lu Yanlun's Han army.

Immediately afterwards, while Ximenqing sent people to the south of the city to defeat Yan Zonghan, he led the main force to pursue Xiao Yixue northward.

At this time, the morale of the enemy army was low, and it was time to seize the opportunity to seize the camp in the north of the city.

……

In the south of Linhuang Mansion, before the Jurchen knights sent by Ximenqing arrived before Wanyan Zonghan's army, Wanyan Zonghan's army had already won.

Brother Yelu Ma is a fierce general of the Liao Kingdom, and his soldiers are all Khitan soldiers, which are more powerful than Xiao Yixue's patchwork army.

After encountering the surprise attack by Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshuke, although they lost troops and generals, part of the Liao army in the east of the city still got rid of Sun Yanshou's entanglement and rescued Yelu Mage in time.

Brother Yeluma used more than 2 horses in his hand to fight hard with Wanyan Zonghan's army, but he was still able to barely support and remained undefeated, waiting for Xiao Yi and Xue's army to come for reinforcements.

However, when the sound of fighting came from the west of the city, and then the cheers of the Jin army cheered for victory, the morale of the Yelu Mage army in the south of the city was also completely lost.

When the archers on the city wall were cheering that Xiao Yixue was dead, Yelu Mage's face was ashen, and he was about to break out and escape while waving a big knife.

It's a pity that Brother Yeluma's life was in danger, and he got out of luck.When he was breaking through, he bumped into Wanyan Yinshuke, a fierce general of the Jin army.

Wanyan Yinshu killed several people in the chaos, and he was looking for Brother Yeluma.

When the two met, they were extremely jealous, and each brandished their swords and maces and fought together.

After more than [-] rounds of fighting, Yelu Mage was exhausted, he was knocked off his horse by Wanyan Yinshu Ke, and was captured alive.

When Yelu Mage was defeated by Wanyan Yinshuke, the rest of the Liao army was also divided and wiped out by Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Maji.

Except for a small number of Liao troops fleeing eastward, the [-] Liao troops gathered in the south of the city were wiped out by Wanyan Zonghan.

Chapter 7 Eleven

When Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu led troops around the east of the city, defeated the Liao army fighting with Sun Yanshou, and then rushed to the north of the city, the Ximen Qing army had already captured Xiao Yixue's camp.

After Xiao Yixue fled back to the camp with the remnants of the defeated generals, he wanted to rely on the camp to organize the army and fight again.

But seeing that less than half of the troops retreated to the camp, Xiao Yixue knew that the situation was over, so he immediately fled northward with the cavalry from the Shiwei Department in a black chariot.

After less than half a day of bloody battle, the [-] troops of Liao generals Xiao Yixue and Yelu Mage under Linhuang Mansion fell apart, and were annihilated by Wanyan Zonghan, Ximenqing and Lu Yanlun Liyingwaihe.

Ximenqing and Wanyan Zonghan led the army to pursue tens of miles north, but failed to catch up with Xiao Yixue who had fled, so they had to temporarily withdraw their troops and return to Linhuang Mansion to recuperate.

That Xiao Yixue is worthy of being a fleeing general, and when he was defeated and fled, no one could match him.After being defeated by the Jin army several times, he was able to retreat completely, and he can be regarded as a strange man among the generals of the Liao army.

When Wanyan Zonghan was chasing Xiao Yixue, Wanyan Yinshu Keze led his troops to kill Langhe in the east without stopping, and stabbed Yelu Mage's lieutenant Yelubu from behind.

After the [-] Liao troops of Yelvbude's army were attacked by Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyanba Lisu, who was ambushing outside Zhenzhu Village, also suddenly broke out and beheaded Yelubude, the lieutenant of Yelv Mage, in the chaos.

The last Liao army near Linhuang Mansion was also wiped out.

When Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshuke, Ximenqing, Mao Zilian and others led the army back, Lu Yanlun led the civil and military officials of Linhuang Mansion to greet them outside the city, and brought the Jin army from afar into the city of Linhuang Mansion.

Mao Zilian had to return to garrison in Zuzhou City and other places. After meeting Yan Zonghan, the coach of the Jin Army, he led the troops back to Zuzhou City.

This time the Liao army attacked aggressively, and the two generals Lu Yanlun and Mao Zilian were able to stand firm in the face of danger and stick to the city, making great contributions to the Jin army's annihilation of the Liao army.

Wanyan Zonghan greatly appreciated the loyalty of the second general, and rewarded Mao Zilian with many captured spoils before his departure.

Of course, Lu Yanlun and his soldiers also received rewards and awards.

After entering Linhuang Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan asked Lu Yanlun to send eloquent people to the Wei Department of the black car in the north, and asked them to hand over Xiao Yixue, the commander of the Northeast Road of the Liao Army.

Before leaving, Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, once told Wanyan Zonghan not to make too many enemies during this trip.
