Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

After receiving the reinforcement request from Hua Rong and others, Jiang Hongfei immediately arranged for Chen Xizhen to lead Du Bo, Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong and Wang Jin to lead the Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Po Enemy Army, You Yi Army and Shengjie Army. Go to Yanjing City for reinforcements.

This time for reinforcements, there is no need to take a detour to Gu'an and walk more than 300 miles. Instead, they can take the nearest road directly to Yanjing City. Presumably there will not be many blocking troops along the way.

Calculating the distance, it is only more than ten miles away.

Although the five cavalry armies that went to reinforce fought fiercely all night, no matter how slow they were and no matter how great the resistance they encountered on the road, they would definitely be there in two or three hours for the more than ten miles.

And this is just the first wave of reinforcements sent by Jiang Hongfei to Yanjing City. When Jiang Hongfei finishes here, Jiang Hongfei will definitely send a second wave of reinforcements, and a third wave of reinforcements, until all the troops go to Yanjing City...

Not to mention that Chen Xizhen and others immediately led their troops to set off after receiving the order.

Just talk about post-war statistics:

In this battle, the Liao army suffered more than 50,000 casualties and more than 120,000 people were captured alive.

The Liangshan Army captured more than 57,400 complete and usable war horses, more than 29,600 wounded and dead horses, more than 179,600 crossbows, and more than 6.74 million arrows. Only, there are more than 179,300 pieces of armor, and the rest of the seizures are still being counted.

The Liangshan Army's own casualties were only a little over 20,000.

Obviously, in this decisive battle that was related to the fate of the country and even the life and death of the country, the Liangshan Army achieved an unprecedented victory.

Jiang Hongfei ordered that all the horses obtained be used for the expansion of the cavalry army. All the cavalry armies, whether armored heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry, or light cavalry, were to be expanded from the original 3,000 men and horses to 5,000 men and horses, and they were ready immediately. All the generals were ordered to ride on them.

After explaining all the matters big and small, Jiang Hongfei left all the follow-up matters to Gao Liang, Liu Huiniang, Zhu Wu and others for follow-up, while Jiang Hongfei himself led the troops who were not too involved in the battle and went straight to Juyong Pass.

It should be noted that before setting off, Jiang Hongfei ordered: After all armies have finished resting, let Liu Qi and Wu Jie each lead 10,000 troops to seize Gubeikou and Songting Pass, and then capture Tanzhou and Jingzhou respectively on the way. . In addition, Yue Fei was sent to capture Jizhou, and Han Shizhong was sent to capture Shunzhou.

yes.

Yanjing City is the most important city in Yandi.

But only the city of Yanjing, not Juyongguan, Gubeikou and Songtingguan, is still useless here in Yandi, and it is not much safer than other cities.

Only by controlling Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Songting Pass, and Jinpo Pass and Daoma Pass, which are already under the control of Shuibo Liangshan, can we completely block all the passages for the Hulu going south from the middle road.

Among them, Juyongguan is the most important.

You must know that the land of Yan is thousands of miles of fertile land, with mountains in the north and numerous mountains and obstacles. There are five passes in the middle. Only Juyong Pass can be used by large vehicles for transportation. Gubeikou, Songting Pass, and Jinpo Pass are all closed to people and horses, but not vehicles. There are eighteen small roads outside, which are all rabbit trails and bird trails. They can only pass people, but cannot move horses. Just build a military stronghold and put a few hundred people there to prevent it.

Precisely because Juyong Pass has the most convenient transportation among the five passes guarding Yanjing, it became the best way to attack Yanjing.

Moreover, Juyong Pass is in a dangerous situation and is the northwest gate of Yanjing. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In history, there have been endless wars over the competition for Juyong Pass and then to capture Yanjing.

If Jiang Hongfei wants to live here in Yanjing, he must regain Juyongguan.

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei went to recapture Juyongguan as soon as he defeated the Liao army in the decisive battle.

Of course, this is certainly not the only reason.

Also, since Yanjing City has been captured by Hua Rong and the others, Xiao Puxiannu will definitely mobilize the troops guarding Juyong Pass to rescue Yanjing City. In this way, Juyong Pass will inevitably be empty, so it will be much easier to fight.

The key point is that there is the main force of the Jin army on the other side of Juyongguan, led by Wanyan Aguda.

If Jiang Hongfei didn't take Juyong Pass quickly and instead let the Jin army take Juyong Pass, there would be big trouble.

Nothing said.

Jiang Hongfei personally led an army of 30,000 to 40,000 people to Juyongguan.

I don’t know if it was God’s will. As soon as Jiang Hongfei arrived at Juyong Pass, the cliffs of Juyong Pass, which had stood unharmed for thousands of years, unexpectedly collapsed. Many Liao soldiers were crushed to death. The Liao soldiers guarding Juyong Pass collapsed. Therefore, it will collapse without a fight.

Seeing this incomparable miraculous scene, after being shocked, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, led by a few people who reacted quickly, knelt down to Jiang Hongfei and said: "God bless my emperor, long live my emperor!!! "

At this time, Jiang Hongfei's team included Wang Zhen, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li and other Song generals who came from the Zhao and Song Dynasty, as well as Zhao Ding, Qiu Chou, Chen Gongfu and other civil servants from the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

To be honest, the reasons why these people work for Jiang Hongfei are very complicated.

Some of them had a rebellious mentality because they were abandoned by the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Some of them had to work for Jiang Hongfei because all their family members were in Jiang Hongfei's hands.

They also chose to temporarily serve Jiang Hongfei because Jiang Hongfei did not want to go to war with the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but wanted to recover the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures for the Han nation.

Of course, some of them are because they feel that Jiang Hongfei is wise, open-minded and generous, and knows people well. He initially decided to settle down in Liangshan, that is, to do justice for heaven and eradicate those high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry in the Zhao and Song Dynasties who were rich and unkind. A noble family should allocate land and grain to the poor, eliminate debts, eliminate the inherent gap between rich and poor, adopt a new system, and enable the people to live a good life. Only in a few years can they exhaust their strategies, leave no troops behind, and have established a great cause. Join Jiang Hongfei.

However, there is a saying that these people are more or less helpless when they join Jiang Hongfei, and they are not willing to work for Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, Jiang Hongfei first recovered the Yan land, which was very important to the Han people, and then when he arrived at Juyong Pass, such a magical scene happened here.

This can't help but make people believe that Jiang Hongfei is the chosen one and will definitely bring peace to the world. He was born to save people in trouble, and they are following the right people and are on the right path.

Think again about Zhao Ji's mediocrity and the collapse of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

The key is that the atmosphere has already been set at this point.

Wang Zhen, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li, Zhao Ding, Qiu Chan, Chen Gongfu and others could only follow the trend and kneel down with tens of thousands of people, shouting loudly: "God bless my emperor, long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" !”

After Jiang Hongfei captured Juyong Pass effortlessly, he immediately dispatched craftsmen to rush to repair Juyong Pass. At the same time, he appointed Wang Zhen to stay at Juyong Pass and allocated him 10,000 elite troops.

During this period, Jiang Hongfei also learned from the Liao soldiers who stayed behind that Xiao Puxian's daughter had indeed tasked Xiao Qian to lead the Liao army in Juyongguan back to Yanjing to rescue them. Xiao Qian immediately took 3,000 troops to Yanjing.

After learning about this, Jiang Hongfei called Ma Ling and asked him to go to Yanjing City to convey his will. He asked them to be careful about Xiao Qian and prepared to pick him up. He would go to Yanjing City later...

…

Xiao Qian, who was stationed at Juyongguan to defend against the Jin army, was shocked when he learned that the Liangshan army had invaded Yanjing City. He quickly gathered 3,000 cavalry and rushed to Yanjing City for reinforcements.

Halfway through, Xiao Qian ordered everyone to take off their military uniforms and dress up as Liangshan Army soldiers.

Juyongguan is only about a hundred miles away from Yanjing City. If you hurry up, you can complete this distance in only half a day.

Therefore, at dusk, Xiao Qian led his army to the west gate of Yanjing City. He ordered the Han people in the team to shout to the gate tower: "We are the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army, open the city gate quickly!"

Because of the darkness and low light, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army guarding the city did not see that it was the Liao Army, not the Liangshan Army, who came.

Of course, this is mainly because Hua Rong has also asked for reinforcements. Calculating the time, the reinforcements from the Liangshan Army are almost due to arrive.

When the Liangshan Army officers guarding the city gate saw a large group of cavalry coming outside the city, they thought that reinforcements were coming. They happily opened the city gate and prepared to lower the suspension bridge.

But at this moment, another group of people came from a distance.

This group of troops was also three thousand, and they were flying the bright flag of the Liangshan Army. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan Army guarding the city gate took a closer look, and they saw that the next group of troops were also flying the flag of defeating the enemy.

Through this comparison, the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan Army guarding the city gate realized that the supporting army that came first did not look like the Liangshan Army.

Think about it again, they are both reinforcements, why are they coming in different directions?

The key is, at this moment, a general with a snake spear of eight feet in his hand suddenly came in the clouds. He used the secret method of sound transmission in the air and said loudly: "I am the military counselor Chen Xizhen. Don't open the city, it's the Liao army!"

The Liangshan Army officers guarding the city gate heard this and quickly closed the already opened city gate.

Xiao Qian was so angry that he urged his Han men: "Keep calling the door!"

How could they shout loudly? No matter how many Han people screamed, they would only get silence and a closed city gate.

Xiao Qian was furious. He urged his horses and led his three thousand Liao troops to attack the enemy.

Dragon slayer Sun An laughed: "Well done!" He immediately put his horse under his crotch and led the enemy troops to meet him.

The two armies started a fair fight under Yanjing City!

The Liao army led by Xiao Qian, holding scimitars in hand, rushed towards the enemy army like a violent storm.

Their tactics were clear and their intention was to overwhelm the enemy with force and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Sun An was not afraid at all. With a single order, the enemy troops were like a pack of hunting wolves, howling and charging towards the Liao army.

Although the number of soldiers was equal to that of the Liao army, the morale of the enemy-defeating army, which had just won a decisive battle, far exceeded that of the Liao army.

The two armies clashed, war drums rumbled, weapons clashed, and there was a harsh metal collision.

On the battlefield, dust was flying, horses neighed, and the shouts and screams of the soldiers intertwined together to form a tragic and spectacular picture.

Fighting again, seeing the bravery of Liangshan Army again, Xiao Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

Xiao Qian understood that this battle would most likely be lost, just like their battle between Beiliao and Shuibo Liangshan.

But Xiao Qian was unwilling to give in. He had obviously worked so hard, so why did he have to face such a result without any possibility of change?

So Xiao Qian waved his saber and shouted loudly, trying to boost morale.

Seeing the Liao army dying, Sun An did not need to boost the morale of the enemy army. He was afraid that the Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Youyi Army and Shengjie Army would soon take away the fat of the enemy soldiers. , holding the spear tightly, followed Sun An, who was holding the male and female swords, and rushed towards the Liao army again and again.

Although the Liao army was brave, they all gradually showed fatigue from Xiao Qian on down after marching for hundreds of miles under the fierce attack of the enemy forces with stronger strength and morale.

Although the enemy troops were equal in number, they gradually gained the upper hand due to their high morale and strong combat effectiveness.

Finally, under Sun An's order, the enemy troops launched their final charge. They are like tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

The Liao army collapsed instantly under the impact of the enemy troops.

What made the Liao soldiers even more desperate was the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, which was a precursor to the appearance of tens of thousands of horses.

Xiao Qian looked at the irreversible defeat, and his heart was filled with helplessness and despair. He knew that he had tried his best, but he still failed in the end.

Xiao Qian sighed unwillingly and headed north with the defeated Liao army.

At this moment, Xiao Qian thought a lot. He felt that the fundamental reason why he lost was not him.

If Yelu Yanxi had not been fatuous, a wise minister, and a villain, he kept running and did not dare to resist, so that the situation in the Liao Kingdom was like this, and he would not have lost.

Zuo Qigong once spoke highly of the fighting spirit of the Liao army. He wrote a poem:

The beacon smoke rises from the sky, and the galloping iron horses make a loud noise. Worthy of the heroic spirit of Liaohe, he sang triumphantly and frightened the enemy.

Xiao Qian couldn't help but think, if I build my own country and make my own decisions, will I no longer fail because of other people's faults?

Xiao Qian thought of his hometown, Jianyan Mountain, which is the settlement area of ​​the Xi people to the north of Gubeikou.

The Xi people are a very ancient ethnic group, belonging to the Donghu family. They were called Kumo Xi during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They were relatively powerful during the Tang Dynasty and were divided into five tribes. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo, Su Zhi, the great chieftain of the Xi tribe, followed him and served with meritorious service. During the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, the Xi people rebelled and were at odds with the Turks, so they were known as the "Two Bos". The Xi people sometimes attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and sometimes attached themselves to the Turks. In order to stabilize the northeastern border, the Tang Dynasty adopted a policy of appeasement towards the Xi people. Later, the Xi people were attacked by Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty. Taizu of the Liao Dynasty conquered the Xi people several times. It took more than ten years to finally incorporate the Xi people into the Khitan regime and become a descendant of the Liao Kingdom.

Although they both belong to the Liao people, the Xi people are not the Khitans who have come to an end. They still have a large number of tribesmen. Gathering them together will definitely be a powerful force.

Yes, overall, the area at Jianyi Mountain is too small, and not far to the east is the sea. The counties in the north and west have been captured by the Jin Army, and the south is about to be occupied by Shuibo Liangshan. It is like a sea. Pockets only.

But there are high mountains, dense forests, deep ravines, complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, it is the area of ​​the Xi people, which is safe, easy to survive, and has the opportunity to develop and grow.

The key is that he is King Xi. When he returns there, he can establish a dynasty of Xi people, and then lead the Xi people to rise on the grassland just like Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchens.

Thinking of this, despite being severely defeated and even annihilated, after escaping the enemy's pursuit and facing a situation with only a few hundred men and horses left, Xiao Qian was still talking and laughing, and did not feel discouraged at all. He looked like he was laughing and said: "Since the Liao Dynasty is dead, I, your King Xi, will lead you to Jianyan Mountain to conquer the world again..."
