Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 572
The people of Liao knew in their hearts that it was almost inevitable that Zhongjing would be defeated in the current battle situation. The vast land outside the Great Wall would become Jurchen's hunting grounds.

The kings of Wei and Xi in Nanjing were even more pessimistic——

If it wasn't so, how could he be desperate to fight Song?
Compared with the kings of Nanjing, Emperor Tianzuo, who had been defeated and fought repeatedly, was stronger after all. He still had the illusion of defending against the enemy beyond the Great Wall. He deployed 1 powerful soldiers at Juyongguan, and sent Zuo Prime Minister Youxi Bojin to guard it personally. (Note )

Bojin, the head of the tribe, is originally a Jurchen vocabulary, and it is usually called Bojin, and in wartime, it is called Meng'an or Mouk according to the number of soldiers under its command. The Liao Kingdom also called it a small clan with its own soldiers. leader. (Note 2)

Don't think that 1 people is not a lot, but they are all the sharp soldiers of the tiger and bear divisions in the Pishi army.

Pishi means "King Kong" in Khitan language, which is equivalent to the imperial forest army of the Liao emperor. Its combat power cannot be underestimated.

These ten thousand Liao soldiers don't talk about anything else, but they have fought hundreds of battles against the Jinren, and after repeated defeats, they are still alive today. Naturally, they are quite capable, and they can be regarded as the last card that Emperor Tianzuo can show. up.

What's more, Juyongguan is the most powerful place in the world. It is a place where one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand are not open. If there are troops stationed in peacetime, there are only two or three thousand.

Under Youxi Bojin, there were four more powerful generals, the first commanded the army and supervised Gao Liu, the second Guangling Army Jiedu envoy Zuo Qigong, the third commanded Yu Zhongwen, and the fourth waiter Cao Yongyi .

A side note——

A certain principal of later generations famously said: "An inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood", which was copied from Zuo Qigong's sentence.

In the original time and space, Jin soldiers killed the Great Wall, and the sixth class surrendered on the table, dedicated Youzhou, and served as an official in Jin. Poetry, urged Jin Taizu not to return to Youzhou, Jin Taizu refused.

The book is back to normal.

But Youxi Bojin and others have been worried all night since they took office in Juyongguan. They are afraid that the Jin people will go to Zhongjing and attack with soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, before the Jin soldiers arrive, the "thieves" will come first.

That night, the county magistrate of Changping County dispatched his confidants to rush to Guanshang in a hurry, reporting that the West Wind Army occupying the two prefectures of Youshun had sent an army of to kill——

Lao Cao deliberately set up a big camp for the boss. The county magistrate calculated based on the scale that he believed that there were 5 horses, and multiplied by two by the way, and reported to Juyongguan.

Youxi Bojin was shocked when he heard this: "How can these thieves make such a big deal in such a short period of time?"

He hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss the countermeasures, who knows how many people listened, and they didn't care.

Gao Liu said disdainfully: "The guards of Youzhou are incompetent, and they defeated a group of bandits to take down Xiongcheng. However, the bandits are still bandits after all. They claim to have 10 horses, but who knows how much? And they all coerce the people to pretend to be an army. What can they do?" Use? Prime Minister Zuo only needs to join me with five hundred soldiers, and he will defeat the bandit army and capture the bandit chieftain alive.”

Hearing what he said, Youxi Bojin couldn't help but nodded, the truth is that the soldiers are not many, but the soldiers are good. He had a very deep understanding of the fact that he accompanied the soldiers to conquer the Jurchen, and he had a very deep understanding in the guard Dagang.

With the tens of thousands of bears and tigers under his command, if he wants to compete with the Jinren, it is certainly not enough. To deal with this group of thieves who have just risen, wouldn't he be able to pinch them with his hands?

Zuo Qigong also said: "Gao Tongjun's words are reasonable, besides, our army has been defeated repeatedly before, and the morale has been struggling. It just happened to use the bones of these bandits to sharpen their knives, to kill a big, win a big, and let the soldiers raise their hands." Take it easy."

Youxi Bojin felt more and more reasonable, and nodded again and again: "The two generals are right, and I think so too. But 500 people is too small, I will divide the troops in Guanzhong into half, from high, left, and Cao's three generals led to deal with the bandits, and General Yu followed me to defend the city."

It was agreed at the moment that the drums were beating to gather troops, and after some rectification, the closed door was opened wide, and five thousand Liao troops rolled out, marching towards Changping in the dark.

It is reasonable to say that it is convenient to light torches when marching at night, but with so many people lighting torches, they are like fire dragons, which can be seen dozens of miles away.

The distance from Juyongguan to Changping is only ten or twenty miles away. If the momentum is too great, the generals of the Liao Dynasty will probably scare away the rebels. Wouldn't it be worthless?
He simply ordered the soldiers to drag each other one by one, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and hurried on the road in the dark, thinking that it was close anyway, so it would be possible to climb up after falling a few somersaults.

At that time, the thieves and soldiers, not knowing what was true or not, came to attack the city recklessly, and they fought out in one fell swoop. How much credit do they deserve?
After stumbling like this for more than ten miles, seeing that he was about to reach Changping County, he suddenly saw something standing vaguely in the middle of the road, about ten feet high and four feet wide, with some white flowers on it, which he couldn't see. Qing is what.

Seeing it curiously, Gao Liu stopped the team and asked someone to light a torch. When he walked up to take a photo, it turned out to be an upright coffin!

On the coffin board, white paint was painted with six large characters: All Liao dogs died here!
Gao Liu jumped off the horse, strode forward, snatched the torch, stared, looked at it several times from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and said, "If you don't know how to read, take a look at it. What the hell did you write!"

At this time, Zuo Qigong from the Chinese army arrived and saw that the Liao soldiers were all clustered together, he frowned, dismounted and stepped forward, but he was a man with ink in his stomach, and immediately read: "The Liao dogs all died in this!"

Gao Liu was furious when he heard this: "Wow, you dare to call us a Liao dog. When this person was arrested, his tongue was cut off..."

Zuo Qi's bow soul flew out of the sky, dragged him and ran away, shouting: "It's a trick!"

Before the words were finished, random arrows swished out from the woods on both sides.

Gao Liu held the torch in his hand, like the sun shining in the night, and like a ready-made archery target, he bowed his left hand to hurt him, most of the rain of arrows shot towards the two of them, like a hedgehog shot in an instant.

It's just that these two men are wearing several layers of heavy armor, and those who shoot arrows have limited arm strength. Although the arrows are pierced all over the body crookedly, the ability to penetrate armor and flesh is limited.

The Pishi army under his command was also wearing iron armor. Although the rain of arrows came suddenly, they only shot and killed dozens of people.

Gao Liu was extremely angry, and shouted decisively: "You go to the left and I go to the right, go into the woods and kill this dry man!"

The two of them didn't get on their horses either, they each drew their waist knives and rushed into the woods.

This group of Liao troops reacted quickly, and immediately divided into two groups, and followed them into the forest.

The archers in the forest saw the Liao soldiers rushing in like wolves and tigers, they couldn't help but panic, they quickly turned around and ran, and some of them stood in a daze in a daze, and were killed by Pi Shijun in an instant.

Gao Liu killed more than ten people in a row, and realized that this group of ambush soldiers was not good at fighting, so he became more and more angry, and cursed: "What kind of birdman, with such strength, dare to ambush grandpa?"

Before the words were finished, a big man flashed out from behind the tree and shouted in a deep voice: "Liaogou, let's see how strong Grandpa is!"

With two iron swords in his hand, he slashed at him recklessly. Hearing the howling wind of his sword, Gao Liu's heart trembled, knowing that he had met a good opponent, he secretly said in surprise: Unexpectedly, there is such a character among the thieves!

Not daring to be careless, he guarded the door tightly with a knife.

Seeing Gao Liu eating people and killing them, the Liao soldiers retreated step by step, they all rushed forward to help, and lit torches one after another. Under the light of the fire, they saw a nine-foot man with a face like iron, eyes like bells, and two fierce heavy swords Abnormally, he just rushed forward, and more than a hundred people couldn't stop him from coming and going and clashing.

It wasn't until all the soldiers and horses under his command fled away that the big man turned around and broke through the siege and escaped in the mountains and forests.

Gao Liu held a single saber, looked at the fifty or sixty corpses on the ground, couldn't help being afraid, but said in his mouth: "This guy can only fight on foot. If Grandpa was riding a horse and holding a gun, he would have poked eight holes in him."

Leading the soldiers back out of the forest, just seeing the opposite forest, Zuo Qigong was full of resentment, and retreated dejectedly: "It's just a straw bandit, who will disperse as soon as it rushes, but a leader who uses iron rods. Get him down."

While speaking, Cao Yongyi led the rear team to catch up. Hearing what happened to the two generals, he blurted out: "This is Sun Bin's plan to kill Pang Juan! It is only the way of battle. It’s the way of kings, if not, whoever heard a few stories would be able to fight as a general?”

Gao Liu and Zuo Qigong both nodded and laughed when they heard the words: "Not bad!"

At this time, the Liao army captured some wounded and surviving captives, tortured them, and confessed that they were all newly recruited soldiers from Youzhou. Go to the boss's camp to bluff people.

Hearing this, the three generals laughed in unison: "It's just that there are more than ten thousand grassroots bandits. It's in vain that we value him so much. So, why wait until dawn? He broke his camp in one go!"

After finishing speaking, the captives were beheaded, and the whole army rushed into Changping City. The county magistrate prepared a battle meal and had a full meal. Before dawn, he opened the city gate and killed Lao Cao's camp.

In the camp of the West Wind Army, Sun An and Luan Tingyu returned in embarrassment, complaining: "Brother, these soldiers and horses are really weak."

According to Cao Cao's instructions, the two of them each led 500 people, went around the county town and ambushed on the main road. After a fight, only 300 people followed back, and the rest were either killed or fled.

Lao Cao laughed and said, "If you're an elite soldier, how can I tell you to save your own life? It's just to make him look down on us!"

Sun An said worriedly: "Brother, this group of Liao soldiers are quick-responsive, daring to fight, and their combat power is not weak. Although we have more soldiers and horses, after all, the drill is too short. If they are tough, there is little chance of winning."

Cao Cao nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, everything is expected."

At this time, Shi Qian came into the tent, and said with a smile: "Brother, everything has been properly arranged."

Lao Cao nodded and said, "Okay! Act according to plan!"

At the fourth watch, Liao troops came like a tide——

How come there is a thousand more?It was the magistrate of Changping County, who learned that he had been deceived by Lao Cao and that there were actually only more than bandit soldiers, he was furious, and he set up all his troops to defend the city and fought out with the army.

Cao Cao's brothers had already received the order, and the gate of the village was opened immediately. Qin Ming and Xu Ning each led more than a thousand people to fight out. How dare you make a mistake!"

Gao Liu yelled, Pegasus went straight to attack Qin Ming, Qin Ming fought with a mace, Cao Yongyi stepped forward to fight, but Xu Ning stopped him.

A "Thunderbolt" and a "Golden Spear General" used their own methods to fight against the two Liao generals. Zuo Qi bowed his spear and swung his army forward. back.

Most of these Liao troops were terrified by the Jin people. They were fighting at this moment and found that there were such useless opponents in the world. They couldn't help but cheer up. Showed great prestige.

Xu Ning yelled: "Brother, we have bumped into the elite of Liaogou, let's retreat."

With a wave of his gun, he forced the enemy general away, returned to his horse and left, Qin Ming also made a feint, reined in his horse and fled.

As soon as the two of them retreated, the two thousand soldiers were immediately routed and turned their heads to flee for their lives in the camp.

He hadn't seen a victory in the sixth year of high school, and his face flushed with excitement: "Go in, don't let him go!"

Zuo Qigong was a little surprised: "Didn't it mean that he has more than 1 people, could it be that there are ambushes in the camp?"

Gao Liuda laughed and said: "This kind of trash, even a hundred thousand ambush soldiers are not afraid of him! Don't think too much about it, I think he only has two or three thousand people who can barely fight, and the rest are probably coerced rioters."

When Zuo Qigong heard it, he felt it made a lot of sense, he felt relieved and rushed into the camp, and sure enough, he saw many soldiers in his camp running back desperately.

The Liao soldiers fought this battle really well. Howling like wolves, they rushed forward with all their strength. After a while, they rushed to the middle of the camp, and saw a huge handsome tent, empty. Obviously, the leader of the bandits also saw something wrong. , fled ahead of time.

Gao Liu was extremely excited, and shouted: "Chasing! Don't let him go, everyone will take credit for it."

Before the words were finished, there was a rumble, and the hundreds of people in the front suddenly disappeared, the Liao soldiers stopped suddenly, only to see a big trap in front of the commander's tent, and all the Liao soldiers in front fell into it.

Gao Liu's complexion changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "This thief has a lot of tricks, but I don't know which story I heard from..."

Before the words fell, he heard a clear and clear shout: "Shoot!"

In an instant, hundreds of rockets flew up in the front, left, and right sides, crossed a gorgeous trajectory, and landed on the tents all around.

The complexions of the three generals of the Liao Dynasty all changed, and only later did they realize that the tents here are so densely packed...

boom!
The fire on three sides rose into the sky, and in those tents, there were hundreds of rough horses, cattle and sheep, pulling simple wooden carts, large and small, loaded with flaming firewood, and crashed into the crowd in a daze.

The so-called fire and water are ruthless. These two incidents are not unusual in ordinary times. Once they appear on the battlefield, they must be a big killer.

The fire in Lao Cao’s camp was prepared in the middle of the night. These tents were specially arranged densely. They were all stuffed with firewood and drenched with oil. Together, the instinct ran forward.

Therefore, as soon as the rocket landed, the front, left and right sides of the Liao army were like three walls of fire, and there were trains crashing into each other, as if they had stepped into a sea of ​​flames and hell in an instant.

Rao is the elite of the Pishi army, so far there is still chaos. As for the thousands of Changping defenders, they are even more frightened.

"It's been tricked!" Zuo Qigong turned pale with shock, and shouted: "Hurry up, withdraw the troops!"

Pi Shijun's eyes were full of fierceness, he first chopped and killed the Changping defenders who were running around in a panic, and then retreated after watching, but how can Lao Cao be unprepared for such tricks?
But seeing many large carts being pushed out, all covered with flames, the way for the Liao army to retreat was like being caught between two walls of fire, behind the wall was the West Wind army constantly shooting arrows and throwing stones.

At this moment, the Liao army was only concerned with fleeing, eating those he shot and smashed to death, and those of their own who fought for the way, hacked and killed, and burned to death in the fire. At least a thousand people were killed here.

From the tent of the Chinese army to the gate of the camp, the flames formed a narrow road. How could the escaped Liao army care about so many?The army did not form an army, the formation did not form an formation, and they rushed to the county without looking back.

When Gao Liu led the last hundreds of people to escape, eating it was smoky, his hair was smoking faintly, he was about to leave, suddenly thousands of soldiers and horses passed around outside the camp, the leader, riding a horse and wielding a sword, was about to leave. It was Sun An, who yelled: "The Liao dog should leave, it was a bad fight just now, let's fight again now!"

There are different teachings: Lao Cao made a plan to take Juyong, and attacked with fire with murderous aura.In the future, people will pay homage to the day, and the wild flowers will be red all over the ground.

　Note 1: The general of Juyong Pass in the Liao Kingdom could not find any information, but only mentioned that Emperor Tianzuo had arranged a strong army: "Guyong was guarded by strong soldiers, and when Jin soldiers approached the pass, the stones collapsed, and many soldiers were crushed to death. , collapsed without a fight." - "History of Liao Dynasty"

　　In addition, the Jin soldiers captured Yelu Dashi in the Battle of Juyongguan. There is no evidence to prove whether this person is the general guarding the pass. Anyway, he is now going to fight the Song Dynasty, so let’s change the general. Youxi Bojin is a character of the Water Margin. They are all historical figures, Liao officials who surrendered after breaking Juyong.

　　Note 2: In "Water Margin", Bojin of Liao Kingdom appears frequently. The author thinks that Uncle Shi may have made a mistake and put the system of Jin Kingdom on Liao Kingdom. Anyway, we follow the setting of Uncle Shi and do not follow through on it. Textual research.
