Han Shizu

Chapter 1545 Shiwei Jurchen War
"No, no!" In the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Liu argued loudly, and probably felt the impatience in Emperor Liu's voice, and the maids holding fans at the side subconsciously increased the strength of their waving to calm down Emperor Liu's anger. .

Emperor Liu glared at the increasingly heroic Wei Wang Liu Min in front of him, pointed to a sand table in front of him, and said, "There are more than 3 people in Shiwei, and less than 5000 people in Wanyan Jurchen. The gap is six to one, and we are besieging the city again. Even if two are exchanged for one, the Jurchens can be wiped out, so how can they not take down a mere Iron Li City?"

In front of the father and son, there is a square sand table, in which there is a large area of ​​mountains, forests, fields, and cities, which is the Tieli area in the northeast.And around Tieli City, there are some small red and yellow flags, representing the two forces of Shi Wei and Jurchen who are wrestling in Tieli area at this time.

Emperor Liu and his son were fighting against Shiwei Jurchen, playing a game of military flag deduction. Emperor Liu obviously had the most powerful Shiwei, and Liu Min was the relatively weak Jurchen.However, after this deduction, disputes are inevitable.

Seeing that Emperor Liu was in a hurry, Liu Min said calmly: "Although Tieli City is small, it is still where Tieli King City used to be, and there are certain defenses to rely on. The Jurchen guarded the city and prepared a large amount of food, grass and military equipment in the city. , the people of Shiwei mainly use cavalry, field battles are acceptable, but sieges are probably impossible!"

"The Shiwei cavalry can't attack the city, so the Jurchens are good at defending the city? Besides, didn't Wanyan Nuzhen just use [-] cavalry to capture Tieli City?" Emperor Liu retorted.

Liu Min: "According to reports from the Liaodong Army Intelligence Department and the Wude Department, Wanyan Nuzhen's soldiers have undergone special infantry training and are basically able to skillfully use all kinds of ordnance supported by Liaodong. Naturally, their ability to defend the city is not comparable to that of our Han army. In comparison, but compared to the Shiwei people, they should still be much stronger.

As for leaving the city by iron, it was due to the unexpected effect. Shiwei was unprepared and lacked experience in city guards, so the Jurchen cavalry took advantage of it! "

"Okay, even if what you said is reasonable!" Emperor Liu pointed out: "But Shiwei has nearly 1 people after all, and they can still ask for help from Shiwei Palace. Wanyan Bahai's Jurchen allied forces only have more than [-] , As far as the superiority in military strength is concerned, it is not so easy to eliminate! Even if you can't attack Tieli City for a while, you will be able to trap them to death!"

Why did Emperor Liu occupy Shiwei's side? It's because the Shiwei people are now the largest force among the alien races in the Northeast. Overpowering people with power and winning by numbers is what Emperor Liu was best at most of the time in the past.

Although Emperor Liu claimed to be the emperor on horseback, except for the fact that he actually participated in the war when he went out of Hedong before the founding of the country, the series of wars experienced by the other big Han did not have the opportunity for him to really display his "military ability".The battle of Luancheng was already his pinnacle, and it was the only place worthy of special mention. Even so, the prestige of that battle was achieved by many coincidence factors.

And when it comes to real military ability, Emperor Liu is obviously inferior to the sixth son in front of him.Liu Min said unhurriedly: "The siege may be a solution, but it is cumbersome. This time the two sides are fighting, Wan Yannu is really deliberate, and the Shiwei people are passive. They are not prepared enough to counterattack to the iron. Leaving the city is nothing but crowds.

What's more, Wanyan Bahai obviously had a response, he left [-] soldiers to defend the city, while he led cavalry cruising outside, constantly harassing, cooperating with the outside, although few people, but the initiative of the battle is in their hands.And with the Jurchen cavalry mobilizing outside, the Shiwei people who are not good at attacking the city, how can they take the risk of being attacked and attack the city with all their strength?
Therefore, I can be sure that if you want to rely on a strong attack, the Shiwei people will not be able to take Tie Licheng.Unless the Jurchens in the city run out of food and grass, but that one will take time, and the second Shiwei people may not be able to last that long, and the three Wanyan Jurchens should still have a back hand if they want to come! "

Listening to his analysis, Emperor Liu thought for a while, and pointed out: "The Jurchen troops are already at a disadvantage, and they are divided into two troops. It is a failure and a heavy loss.

The Shiwei people can't attack the city, so they can leave a group of Jurchen cavalry who have seen Tieli city, concentrate their forces, and wipe out the Jurchen cavalry outside.You also said that it is okay to fight in the field, and most of them are cavalry. In the plains and grasslands, are you afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Jurchens? "

Liu Min: "If you can't fight, can't you run away? From Yi'er's point of view, Wanyan Bahai is still a bit cunning, so naturally he won't fight head-on with the Shiwei people. As long as they are not forced to face-to-face confrontation, the Shiwei people want to fight." It is not easy to defeat the Jurchens on the periphery first.

What's more, although there are many people in Shiwei, the origin of the tribe is complicated, and it is difficult to get orders. Although there are few Jurchens, they are dominated by Wanyan Jurchens. Only in terms of orders and prohibitions, Jurchens have a certain advantage! "

"Then in your opinion, this time Wanyan Jurchen went north, can really defeat the many with the few, defeat the strong with the weak, and successfully occupy the Tieli area?" Emperor Liu was a little anxious, speaking with anger.

Seeing this, Liu Min chuckled: "That's not necessarily the case, it's just deduced according to the military flag, and the son holds the Jurchens flag, so naturally we have to discover the advantages of the Jurchens."

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu was dazed, and couldn't help laughing. This is a deduction like a joke, how could he take it seriously.However, this is all about military aircraft.

Looking back, looking at the standard military situation on the sand table, he pondered.After the Koryo rebellion was quelled, the surrounding areas of the Han Dynasty had basically returned to basic tranquility, and even the Khitan people in Mobei were also very peaceful.

Although some disputes, conflicts and even rebellions are unavoidable everywhere, they are all minor incidents. Therefore, the Tieli battle between Wanyan Jurchen and Tulu Bushiwei in the northeast is a bit eye-catching.

Wanyan Nvzhen sent troops to the north in the late spring of this year, Wanyan Bahai personally led tens of thousands of troops, crossed the Yazi River to the north, and attacked the Shiwei people who had spread out in Yazihebei.

Wanyan Bahai dispatched [-] Jurchen cavalry as the vanguard, rushed for more than [-] li, and went straight to the original Tieli King City, leading the Chinese army behind.This time, Wanyan Jurchen decided to go all out, and she was determined to expand her territory and take the Tieli region promised by the imperial court.

Tieli was originally a vassal state of the Liao Kingdom. During the second Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom's rule over the Northeast collapsed, and took the opportunity to rise up the forces of Shiwei, Jurchen, Bohai and other tribes.

As for the Tieli Kingdom, because most of the troops were mobilized during the Khitan's fight against the Han, they had no ability to resist when the Shiwei people moved eastward.Even if the Tieli people raised the banner of rebellion against Liao in time, they still could not avoid the end of destruction and were annexed by Tulu Bushiwei on the western grassland.

The land under Tie Li's jurisdiction is also considered vast, with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers, mainly plains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with excellent soil quality, suitable for farming and animal husbandry.

Although in Wanyan Bahai's eyes, the Huanglong Mansion in the south is more valuable, but after all, the big man occupies it, and he doesn't have the guts to fight with the court.

Therefore, it is still acceptable to get the imperial court's promise to the Tieli area.It just needs to compete with the powerful Shiwei people in the north, and the only shortcoming of the Tieli area is probably that it occupies the western grassland to stay in Tulubu Shiwei.

However, if you want to develop and expand, you have to face the enemy. For Wanyan Jurchen, backed by the imperial court, occupying the righteousness, and having some military weapons supported by the imperial court, she has a certain confidence.

What's more, Wanyan Bahai had planned for the worst, and if it failed, he would ask the Han army to help him and completely take shelter under the imperial court's wings.At the same time, because the people of Shiwei have not paid much attention to the big man, Wanyan Bahai has also seen this point, and the court will not let his Wanyan Nuzhen be wiped out by the people of Shiwei.Based on these, I don't have too many scruples, one word, do it.

This time, the Wanyan tribe came out in full force, bringing with them the most powerful tribal armaments in the tribe. More than 3000 people came to help, and they promised to make a lot of money.You must know that during the anti-Liaoning process, there were quarrels among the few.

As a result, Wanyan Nuzhen's strategy for the Tieli area began.Moreover, the initial stage was very smooth. Even if there was an unkind provocation from the imperial court, and the Shiwei people had warned about this, they still did not expect that the Jurchens marched so fast that when the Jurchens cavalry raided Tieli City, they did not react come over.

After Wanyan Bahai took down Tieli City, he immediately started to build the city defenses, and stockpiled food, grass and weapons in case the Shiwei people counterattacked.

At the same time, they also recruited the local Tieli people. Under the rule of the Shiwei people, the people of the original Tieli country had a hard time. Naturally, Wanyan Bahai successfully persuaded a group of people to join forces with Wanyan Nuzhen. Fight against the Shiwei people together, and in the name of the support of the Han court, it is somewhat deterrent to those alien races in the Northeast.

As for the Shiwei people, who resisted the Khitan in the past, and after being beaten, they reluctantly surrendered, and they also rebelled from time to time.When the big Han defeated Khitan, regained Liaodong, and entered the Northeast, the same attitude was still unruly.

Even the Han court was not a bird, facing the mere Wanyan Jurchen's invasion, how could it bear it, and soon the Shiwei tribal army from the western grassland came back with a vengeful attitude.

The war between the two has been going on for almost three months.
