The horse soldiers on the avenue flowed slowly, the surrounding mountains were stacked layer by layer, and the shadows in the distance seemed like dark clouds.
A horseman ran upside down on the roadside. Seeing Yelu Xiuge and others in front of the big flag, the knight hurriedly stopped the horse, jumped off the horse, pressed his right hand and bent down, and said impatiently: "Master, Jinyang has been captured by the Zhou army!"
Yelu Xiu Ge's face, who had originally looked at Tianyi's majestic face, changed his face, and hurriedly stopped his mount, pointed at the knight with a whip and said: What!What did you say?!
Yang Gun and other Liao generals who were around him immediately looked sideways and looked surprised.Yelu Xiu Ge asked, but it was not because he didn't hear it clearly, but because he was surprised and seemed to have not come back to his senses.
The knight hurriedly said again: Jinyang has been broken!
Yelu Xiuge's words and deeds are very decisive and straightforward, but then he said: Is the news true?
The knight clearly said in Khitan: It’s true!First, the leader of the scout camp received news from the Northern Han people, and we arranged for our own people to confirm it in Jinyang.
Yelu Xiu Ge was stunned for a moment, looking back at the horses that looked like long dragons, and then looked at Yang Gun and others, as if he was a little confused. So many Liao army cavalry came from thousands of miles away, why did they come?
He shook his head and said: Unbelievable!
The generals were also uproared and their expressions were shocked. A general asked: Is there an important person in Jinyang who opened the door to offer the city?
The knight who came to report said: No, it was a forced attack on the city.Zhou Jun used gunpowder to explode a gap and built soil to make a mountain, thus forcing the city to break through!
After hearing this, Yang Gun nodded seriously and pondered: Xiancheng is indeed unreliable.The Liao Iron Cavalry provided reinforcements in two groups and responded in time. When Jinyang had hope of rescuing the siege, it was impossible for him to surrender quickly.But this important fortress known as Longcheng was only half a month before and after being attacked, it fell too quickly, right?
The people in the central army were talking for a while.Yelu Xiu Ge finally began to accept this fact and sat on the horse with a stern face without saying a word.
Yang Gun turned his head and said: You can order the army to stop marching temporarily.
Yelu Xiuge nodded with a veritable face.
The generals said in a lingering manner: No wonder we are a country's capital and a major city in the world. We can't defend it for half a month. Our Liao army goes to help thousands of miles away, how can we save it?I just said that the Northern Han Kingdom was not worthy of the war, but they were just dragging their backs. They were too useless!
Yang Gun frowned and said: The Northern Han Army is not as unbearable as you think. In the southern countries, except for the Central Plains dynasty, the Northern Han Army is the most powerful.Their soldiers fought for many years and could threaten the forces in the Central Plains for a few years ago; the earlier Central Plains dynasties and generations swept the world from Hedong!The problem with the Northern Han Dynasty was that the land was small and the land was barren, and the land was barren, which could not withstand long-term consumption; but the sturdity of Jinyang City made up for this, and when it was at a disadvantage, it could still be determined by persistence.It is true that Zhou Jun can go down to Jinyang in half a month, but I can't believe it...
He turned to look at Yelu Xiuge: This man named Guo Blacksmith will definitely become a major concern for the Liao Dynasty!
Yelu Xiu Ge gritted his teeth and said after a moment: I really want to meet this person. Let’s see if he has three heads and six arms!
No at this time.Yang Gun hurriedly advised that the Zhou army claimed to have hundreds of thousands, and there were 200,000 troops; our army suffered a great loss when it was against the main force of the Central Plains with a partial army.
At this time, the main forces of the Liao army stopped on the road one after another.
It was just after afternoon, and it was not the time for renovation. The army was in a noisy place, with many people sitting on the ground, waiting and inquiring about the situation.
However, for ordinary Liao cavalry, they didn't know what was going on for a moment. At first glance, there were dense crowds of people and horses, and they could not see anything except the mountains.
After a long time, news spread in the army one after another. It turned out that Jinyang was captured!
The army was noisy and the crowds were filled with noise.
Even ordinary soldiers who work part-time herdsmen and cavalry do not understand national affairs very well, but they are also familiar with famous cities like Jinyang, which are famous all over the world.
Rumors spread in the army, some people said that Jinyang was captured in half a month; some people said that it was ten days, because I counted my fingers and heard that the peace truce was discussed for five days (many people were specious about things).
People still don’t really appreciate the strength of Han soldiers, so all this comes down to Guo Shao… Everyone has the knowledge of which tribe is in what’s going on. Even on the grassland, there are many Han people. Therefore, it is difficult for people to accept and believe how strong the Han people in the Zhou army are; but if someone believes that a certain monster is abnormal, someone believes it.
Even there are many legends of ghosts, gods, and beasts on the grassland, and of course there may be other places.
When many herders were young, their parents used stories of monsters and ghosts to scare them to make them obedient. Many people grew up in such legendary stories.
Have you heard of thousands of people who died in Zhuozhou a few years ago?A man from Liao army stared seriously and said in a deep voice.
He was not making noise and his voice was not loud.But the soldiers sitting cross-legged around immediately moved their place and put their heads over.
The man had a scary expression on his face: Those corpses had no heads later!
Someone asked curiously and impatiently: Didn’t the head level be cut off and used to receive the merits?
The man who was speaking shook his head vigorously and said: It is said that the Zhou army will not cut off the head (the military law that Guo Shao had decided at the beginning was still recorded in the head before).But when this kind of thing comes from someone's serious tone, it seems to make sense and believable. Everyone wants to listen to the follow-up, so they are naturally unwilling to argue with them.
The man continued: The blacksmith Guo is a ghost monster and likes to eat people's brains!
Ah… The men with empty spirits were stunned, but they were very focused.
The man who spoke said: He was originally a monster in the underground iron mine, with a huge body, with three heads and six arms; the three arms on the left hold three iron shields, and the three arms on the right hold a blacksmith hammer, a knife, and a spear!He was covered with iron armor that grew, as hard armor as pangolins.After Guo Blacksmith emerges from the ground, he can become an ordinary person and deceive the world; but once he is angry, he will reveal his true form!In Zhuozhou, someone saw his true form, killing people in the crowd while eating his brain!If you are invulnerable to swords and guns, you will break if you hit him...
The soldiers who were listening asked: What should I do?How to deal with that monster iron armor!
The man said: What should I do?Even the city of Jinyang could not stop it. Guo Blacksmith turned into his original form and walked up. He used a blacksmith sledgehammer to "boom" and knocked over the city wall. Otherwise, how could he capture the important city in less than ten days...
snort!Suddenly a majestic voice came.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Yang Gun, the deputy commander of the army, was riding a horse on the road. The soldiers hurriedly stood up and stopped saying a word.
Yang Gun raised the whip and pointed angrily: There is nothing wrong with spreading rumors in the army, you don’t know how to die!
The man and the people around him showed fear.
Yang Gun said coldly: I miss you for the first time, so let it go. If you dare to rumor it again, you will definitely be reluctant to let it go!He looked back and said loudly: The Zhou army in the Central Plains surrounded Jinyang for more than a month, and a traitor opened the city to surrender, so the Northern Han Kingdom unexpectedly lost Jinyang early.From now on, rumors are strictly prohibited. Who of you has seen monsters with your own eyes?If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it’s just spreading rumors!
After saying that, Yang Gun patted his horse and went to the temporary garrison of the Central Army.
Yelu Xiu Ge had already found a stone on the side of the road and sat down with a scabbard on the ground. He held the big figure with his left hand, and the surrounding generals were sanitating their left and right.
Jinyang was captured too quickly, and the troops were shocked and rumors were already rumored.Yang Gun bowed.
Yelu Xiuge said: Military orders are passed on strictly prohibited rumors.
yes.Yang Gun bowed.
Yelu Xiu Ge said coldly with a stern face: I thought there was no need to go south anymore.
Yang Gun hurriedly echoed: What the commander said was very true.According to the imperial edict of the Han Dynasty, our troops went south to lift the siege of Jinyang. We gathered people in Yinshan and defeated the Ris south, and there was no delay in the middle. Jinyang lost the city after being besieged for half a month, so it is not a big mistake for our poor combat... The intention to send troops has been lost, so there is no need to fight this battle.
Yelu Xiu Ge said casually: It was just a waste of time. He was a little unwilling to give in and it was not easy to explain to the tribes.
Yang Gun hurriedly advised: Just as we discussed before, going south to fight the Zhou army is not a good opportunity... The Zhou army was morale and confident at first, and the whole country was full of soldiers and troops; I was a partial army in the Great Liao Dynasty and came from afar.Moreover, after the Zhou army captured Jinyang, there were strong cities to rely on, and advances could attack and retreats could defend; we had no barriers and the situation was very unfavorable.
Yelu Xiu Ge is also very rational. Although his face is not good-looking, he seems to have made a decision.
He said again: The vanguard ordered to retreat and change it to a rear army.The entire army passed through Xinkou, annexed to the north of Xinkou, and then let our own people garrison Xinkou.Then I sent a scout to find out the situation again and make plans.
The general interrupted: Is the general worried that the Northern Han army in Xinzhou will turn against him?
Yang Gun helped and replied: This is just a matter of time!Jinyang was broken, and the monarch and ministers of the entire court of the Northern Han Kingdom were caught in the enemy, and there was no support elsewhere. Surrendering to Zhou Kingdom was of course the best way out... Don't forget that although the Northern Han Kingdom was an allied country in the Great Liao Dynasty, this place was still the territory of the Han people.What reasons do those officials and generals do not vote for people of the same race?After surrendering to the Great Liao Dynasty, they had to be enemies with the Zhou army and continue to fight; the Zhou army attacked Jinyang with the purpose of occupying the entire Hedong.
Everyone nodded and said yes.
Yelu Xiu Ge slapped his thigh at this time, stood up suddenly, and made a quick decision: Send the order, all the tribes retreat north of Xinkou!The forward returned to the army to guard Xin's mouth!
Obey orders.The generals bowed one after another.
Yelu Xiuge walked up a hillside and looked out to the south.
In the direction of sight, there is only a trend of people and horses like a dark flood in the mountains, and then there is a mountain where there is no way to see the Zhou army blocking the people and horses in the south.
Just before he received the news of Jinyang City's break, he was thinking about how to defeat Li Chuyun's troops on the battle formation; he thought about whether he would repair it for two or three days after getting close... As a result, no plan was useful.
There are so many people in the army and many solutions have been planned, but none of them have expected that Jinyang would be captured immediately!The battlefield changes rapidly, and that's probably the case.
Guo Blacksmith... Yelu Xiu Ge whispered.
A horseman ran upside down on the roadside. Seeing Yelu Xiuge and others in front of the big flag, the knight hurriedly stopped the horse, jumped off the horse, pressed his right hand and bent down, and said impatiently: "Master, Jinyang has been captured by the Zhou army!"
