Chapter 273 The Eighth Battle of Beijing(1/2)

The sun shadow is slanting westward, and the entire venue in Beijing is actually divided into four separate battlefields.

On the right wing of the Khitan defense line, Yelu Antuan fell into a situation where he could not advance or retreat. He used the terrain and traps in class to make Yelu Antuan unable to achieve success for a long time, but the losses of both sides were not great.

On the battlefield southwest of the capital, the Wei of the East China Sea became more and more brave, and the Bohai Infantry Regiment could also fight for a long time, but Tiance had the advantage of the troops invested in this battlefield, and both sides had their own strengths and weaknesses, so the stalemate was still in place. At present, the situation in the Liao army was still relatively optimistic.

On the other two battlefields, the situation in the Khitan was quite unfavorable.

Chai Rong gradually gained the upper hand in the left wing defense line of the Khitan. At first, Sache used false defeat to lure the three thousand tribes in the northern part of the Mohe, and then five thousand Uighurs suddenly came out and killed the northern part of the Mohe. However, Chai Rong responded quickly and did not join the battle group, but instead retreated south. If the Uighurs continued to chase and kill the retreating northern part of the Mohe, they would definitely sell their left side to Chai Rong. In order to avoid this result, they turned to attack Chai Rong, but unexpectedly the orphan army

The formation was rigorous, and the three warriors fought bravely to fight the enemy, but were instead suppressed by Chai Rong. At the same time, the cavalry of the northern Mobei tribe who were originally fleeing saw their families gaining power, and counterattacked under the organization of the backbone generals and school, attacking 5,000 Uighurs. The Uighurs were attacked and retreated step by step. In the Niu Xin Fort, Sache wanted to rescue him, but he was afraid that he could not extricate himself from falling into it. He wanted to not save him, but he was afraid that the Uighurs would be defeated and retaliated against Niu Xin Fort. He was in a dilemma.

And on the main battlefield that will truly determine the outcome of a war, the outcome of a victory or defeat is already on the front line.

The Khitan dispatched a large cone formation composed of 80,000 troops to break through three depths in a row. The vanguard had already broken into the fourth depth of the Tiance Central Army, while the two wings were trapped in the encirclement of the Tiance Central Army and the elite troops on both wings.

According to Li Bin's tactical plan of "blunt his vanguard and fold his wings", the three elite troops in the front were concentrated in the two tips. After the center was broken by the Khitan cavalry, the troops on both sides were not chaotic, especially the two elite troops, which carried out extremely powerful blocking of the Khitan's wings. Li Bin did not focus on the central blocking, which was one of the reasons why the Khitan was able to complete the central breakthrough so smoothly.

At the same time, Shi Jian and Guo Zhang from the left and right wings of Tiance approached and attacked the Central Army inside and outside, encircled and suppressed the Khitan wings.

However, because the clan core was too fast to break through the first two depths, Li Bin was worried about Yang Yi's safety, so he temporarily adjusted the arrangement of troops in the third depth. Although the final change in the third depth increased the blockade of the clan core, the clan core of the Khitan was dragged out by the Longxiang Iron Armor Army before contacting the fourth depth, it also weakened the encirclement of the Khitan wings, so that the "broken wing" plan failed to achieve the due results as expected. Instead, the clan core forward was stumbled and fell into the siege of the Yingyang Army.

Li Bin observed the entire battlefield. At the moment, Chai Rong was too far away. Li Bin could not observe. There was a clue from afar in the south of the city, but as long as the troops arranged by the Tiance army were not defeated quickly. As for the west battlefield, whether in the center or the two wings, Tiance had the upper hand, and the Khitan had a blunt edge. Both wings were trapped, but neither side could win quickly, and they were both in a stalemate.

Time passed by little by little, and Li Bin was silently planning for each other's casualties on the observation stage. It is expected that as time goes by, the chances of victory will become more and more tilted towards his own side. But just when he was secretly glad, another complete army was launched in Shangjing!

It is still the leader of the Khitan, and the subordinate tribe has two wings, but it is also a slightly smaller but more compact cone array!

Li Bin's heart was trembling. He almost screamed!

During this period, Tang and Liao sides have tested each other's combat power through mutual testing, but this virtual and real one is just an estimate, and neither side has been able to obtain the exact force of the opponent.

Therefore, after the Liao army was in the city at the same time, the left wing defense line and the right wing defense line were invested effectively to block troops, such a huge cone battle formation was organized, and everyone naturally thought that it was the Khitan's killer weapon!

Who knew that the real killer weapon was still behind!

Thirty thousand cavalrymen trotted forward, rushing towards the battlefield without saying a word or making a sound.

They didn't come fiercely, but they were saving horsepower and physical strength!

It turned out that the central breakthrough completed by the 80,000 troops in front was just a way to open the way for the subsequent troops.

Now these 30,000 new forces are a real eagle-slaying sword!

Li Bin's heart was almost about to sink. He immediately ordered the fifth deep to go forward to reinforce, and he must ensure that the Khitan was ruined before the 30,000 troops arrived at the battlefield! However, at this moment, the Khitan cavalry that had entered the fourth deep suddenly heard a majestic order. Originally, he was extremely proud and would rather die than die, the fighting method changed in the order. Under the orders, the Khitan clan, who was still more than 6,000 people, turned into the defensive moment!

——————————

In the city of Yunzhou, the inn.

Cao Yuanzhong welcomed a guest - Han Deshu.

The incidents that happened during this period made Cao Yuanzhong very worried. What he was worried about was not his own safety. When Yelu Wuzhi invited him, the relationship between Tang and Liao was in a war stage where the relationship was absolutely deteriorating, so he was on a wartime mission. The Liao Kingdom was going to enter a civilized country with one foot. There were some rules that were not not not followed.

What Cao Yuanzhong was worried about was whether he could achieve success in this trip. The dream of winning the sixteen states with three inches and defeating Xue Fu and comparing Yang Yi was no longer done, but at least he had to have some achievements that could be explained, otherwise his mission would become a joke.

When the country was prosperous, someone gave him a pillow when he wanted to sleep. Just when Cao Yuanzhong was still thinking about these things, Han Deshu came.

As soon as he saw Han Deshu, all the worries on Cao Yuanzhong's face disappeared. He changed his face to look at Han Deshu coldly. In fact, in terms of talent, Han Deshu may not lose to Cao Yuanzhong, but his strength is not as good as others!

After shutting away others, Han Deshu's mouth showed a little flattering, and he almost greeted Cao Yuanzhong in the following manner. Han Deshu had secretly surrendered to Zhang Mai, and people of Cao Yuanzhong's level also knew about it.

"Oh, how can I afford it? I should be asking Mr. Han for gifts!"

"What is General Cao saying? He's so evil." He's used to bending his knees in front of the Khitans, and Han Deshu didn't feel uncomfortable when he changed his partner: "During this period of time, in order to avoid suspicion, I dare not come to pay my respects often. Due to the situation, I think General Cao can understand it."

Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "Understand, I understand, naturally I understand! But I don't know if the marshal can understand it. It's been a long time since Mr. Han entered Liao. Except for when he was in Luoyang, he revealed an unnecessary news, and there was no news before and after. The Privy Council was talking about Mr. Han being a loyal minister of the Liao Dynasty!"

If you are loyal ministers to the Daliao, then you are traitors to the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, Han Deshu felt cold sweat from his back, and thanks to his long-term presence by Han Yanhui. He knew that such sharp words as a knife were mostly just a threat to expect rewards. He smiled and said, "The low-key people are in the enemy country. Naturally, the lower the key, the better, so that they can play a big role at critical moments."

Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "So, what is the big deal for Mr. Han to come today?"

Han Deshu did not answer and said, "Under today's situation, what will happen in the future of Jinbei?"

Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "Xue Fu has already gone north and the marshal is about to come south. What situation can it be? It must be the deterioration of the capital. Then my Tiance army will go south with the power of the great victory, and there will be Yingyang in the north. There will be a marshal in the west. What situation can the marshal in the north of Shanxi?"

I have to say that Cao Yuanzhong has been practicing for so many years, and his military knowledge and judgment are extremely accurate. His gentle words have already pointed out Xue Fu's strategic intentions.

Although Han Deshu made this judgment, his face was a little unnatural, and he calmed down and continued: "Yes, the battle in Shangjing is only heaven... As long as our army wins a great victory, then moves south. Even if the marshal doesn't come, just relying on the power of this great victory, Jinbei will definitely change hands. However, if Yunzhou is captured by that time, General Cao, you and I will lose any credit!"

If he was verbal, he might not be able to win the debate, nor could he impress Cao Yuanzhong at all. However, his last sentence suddenly brought the two of them together!

Cao Yuanzhong's arrogance that he had deliberately made was wiped out, and his face darkened, "What do you mean?"

Han Deshu smiled and said, "If Ying Yang moves south and the Marshal comes west, then Yunzhou will be broken again, what else can General Cao have to do? Not to mention that he is making a decision - that's what it means. In fact, you don't have to deliberately show Bei Zhi's face. Now in Yunzhou City, you and I are two grasshoppers on a rope. The general is a big grasshopper, and Bei Zhi is a small grasshopper. As long as the general is responsible for diplomatic affairs in the Northeast for one day, Bei Zhi is a soldier under the general. The general's affairs will go smoothly, and Bei Zhi can also benefit from it. On the contrary, if Bei Zhi has made some contributions, will the big heads still belong to the general in the end?"

Cao Yuanzhong laughed and said, "I heard for a long time that Han Zang is famous all over the world. His son is indeed extraordinary! Yan Gong, come out to meet Brother Han Shi!"

Cao Yangong, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out and bowed to Han Deshu. Han Deshu didn't feel strange about this, but Cao Yuanzhong called Cao Yangong out to discuss friendship with his peers, and in his words he vaguely pulled himself to the same position as Han Yanhui, which was to regard himself as an elder. Han Deshu couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable - Cao Yuanzhong was only in his thirties, and he was less than a generation older!

Just now, Han Deshu claimed that he was humble and humble. After all, Zhang Mai had not arranged a specific official position for him, so he just wanted to please Cao Yuanzhong to be happy. Who knew that Cao Yuanzhong not only wanted to recognize him as a subordinate, but also wanted to be his father!

However, in just a moment, Han Deshu adjusted his mentality. With the current situation, Tiance has the lead again. If the Battle of Shangjing is won and the Khitan is defeated, if the Han family wants to gain a foothold in Tiance, they must have strong support. Not to mention recognizing Cao Yuanzhong as an elder, even if they recognize Cao Yangong as an elder, it is impossible!

People like them who have been in Hu for a long time have lost their spirit of integrity and unyieldingness, but the character "thick" of "can bend and stretch" is not as hard as Fan Zhi. Wei Renpu and others can achieve, and even the children of the Cao family are slightly inferior.

Therefore, when Cao Yangong wanted to bow to him, Han Deshu had already bowed down. He could only bow to him when he bowed to Cao Yangong. After bowing, he stood up again. Han Deshu knelt down again. Cao Yangong had to kneel down. After this, he stood up for the third time and bowed again. Cao Yangong was a little surprised. He looked at Cao Yuanzhong, saw that Cao Yuanzhong was also hesitant, and then nodded. Then he continued. The two bowed each other eight times in a row, and they became friends of eight bows.

With these eight betrayals, the two of them will have the etiquette foundation for becoming close friends in the future. Of course, whether they really want to become true friendships depends on the needs of both parties.

But after these eight bows, Han Deshu's title of Cao Yuanzhong also changed, and he became an uncle.

Seeing that he was aware of it, Cao Yuanzhong thought to himself, "Yan Gong is among the top juniors of my Cao family. But when it comes to opportunity change and forbearance, he is even inferior to him." However, he did not feel a sense of crisis. Within the Tiance regime, the real competitors of the Cao family were the old family of Anxi and the new champion who had just joined the Central Plains. Even if the Han family returns to the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will not be threatened by its weak foundation for the later generations. And judging from the Han family's style, it is "likely" with itself. If the Han family can really enter the Tiance regime and make contributions in the future, it is necessary to be an ally.

He agreed with a smile on his face.

After half a day of collusion on this kind of personal relationship, Han Deshu said: "I came here today because I have a merit to give to my uncle."

Cao Yuanzhong said: "The Khitan is about to abandon Yunzhou?"

Han Deshu pretended to be surprised and said, "How did you know uncle?"

Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "Just speculation based on the situation, what's the difficulty!"

Han Deshu said with admiration, "The Khitan abandoned Yunzhou is a foregone conclusion, but who is abandoning you has a dispute. It was originally agreed to hand it over to Shi Jin, but it was my nephew Qiao's tongue. That's why Yelu Wuzhi changed his mind."

Cao Yangong said: "How did Brother Daoping tell the Yelu Wuzhi?"

Han Deshu said: "Brother Yu impressed him with the situation: If Yunzhou returns to Jin, the land of Dai will be connected with Taiyuan. The Jin army will inevitably rise sharply, so it is better to return to Tang. If Yunzhou returns to Tang, the northern Jin Dynasty will become a staggering situation, and the two families will have disputes, and the Khitan's troops in Youyun will be able to retreat unscathed. Yelu Wuzhi was moved by me, so he ordered me to come and negotiate."

Cao Yangong was just sighing inwardly with Han Deshu's intellectual argument. After all, Cao Yuanzhong thought much deeper than his nephew. After a moment, he thought about it and said, "The Liao and Jin have formed secret alliances. If the Khitan just retreated, Shi Jin might not attack them. Yelu Wuzhi will be moved by you. It should be that the Khitan is planning to do something, afraid of being disturbed, right?"

Han Deshu was quite impressed by Cao Yuanzhong at this point, and did not hide it. He said, "Yes, Yelu Shuogu is about to do a major event and will move hundreds of thousands of Han people in Youzhou east to realize the northeast when he retreats."

When Cao Yuanzhong and Cao Yangong heard this, their faces changed slightly!

————————————

Go outside the capital, the main battlefield to the east.

After the war, Yang Yi was unable to take into account the entire situation, but as the news came from the observation stage, he knew that the Khitan had another wave of central breakthrough attacks.

Yang Yi felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Originally, the Yingyang Army trapped Zhaladoukuo, and time was on the side of Tiance. The longer it dragged, the more dull the forward in the heart would be! A general like Zhaladoukuo could not fight for a long time.

Who knew that the Khitan had a backup plan, so the original arrangement had to change.

This is the case with war, and there will be changes in an instant. Yang Yi was not panicked and led the entire Yingyang army to speed up the killing of the 6,000 vanguards of the vanguards. However, the arrangement of slow combat was originally made, and the orders could be issued. The overall formation in the battle could not be changed suddenly.

The cone-shaped war between the vanguard of the heart was already distorted by the Yingyang Army, and even more than 30% of the troops were cut and surrounded, and the formation was in chaos.

However, the heart of the crescent part is the heart of the crescent part, and although it is under the siege of cutting, it is not chaotic. Even if it becomes a small army, it still has the ability to fight each other.

The second cone formation of the Khitan was approaching, and the signal was sent in the Baye Division scattered in the front. Judging from the signal, Yang Yi knew that the Khitan was not walking fast, but he did not stop at all. The first round of cone formation Khitan cavalry had completed the central breakthrough, and the second cone formation attack was to rely on the results of the comrades in front to advance, step on the corpses of the same clan, and the ultimate goal-

It's Yang Yi!

——————————

The Yingyang Iron Cavalry is very lethal. After changing its tactics, it took more than half of the cut and scattered clitoris in two quarters of an hour. Nearly a thousand Khitan clitoris were either killed or injured. The Yingyang Army was no more cruel than the Longxiang Iron Armor. They had been on the frontier for a long time. Those hundreds of Khitans died were considered happy, but those who were not dead were even worse than those who died. They either lie on the ground and suffer, or flip on the ground and wait for the horse's hooves to trample on them. After completely losing their combat effectiveness, they could only wait for the harvest of the Han family!

No one cares about them, the entire Yingyang core army will use all the remaining strength to encircle and suppress the Khitan leader!

However, Zhala Duokuo, who had just charged in the front line, then huddled in the center of the crescent of more than 4,000 Khitans. His black dragon broke through three lines of defense in a row. When he rushed into the fourth depth, he was exhausted and troubled by Yang Yi. At this time, even with the divine horse of the black dragon, he could not bear it anymore, and even stopped at the local area, he kept breathing!

If we look at the "common sense" of conventional tactics, the Khitan actually committed several taboos in the use of cavalry this time. Heavy cavalry opened the way, charged desperately, and attacked by horsepower. Thanks to the fact that there were no heavy infantry specializing in the Mobei Expeditionary Force, which failed to form an absolute restrained obstacle. However, even the elite cavalry was not attacked by iron armor. After all, they would be exhausted by breaking three formations in a row. Once the cavalry lost their horsepower and maneuver, they would become worse than infantry!

Although there were still 4,000 people and although they were the elite troops in the north, they seemed to have no power to fight back under the siege of the Yingyang Army.

The sky became darker and darker. Just now, the people and horses were exhausted. The more than 4,000 people who were trapped in the siege seemed to have no hope. But the more than 4,000 people still leaned together. At this time, they had no formation at all. They were just fighting with perseverance and perseverance!

They have no way out!

The Khitan, who had been proud of for two hundred years, survived the exploitation of the Turks, survived the torture of Li Tang, and became the overlord of Mobei. However, within a few years, the front line was pushed to this point, and even pushed to the capital!

Behind it is Shangjing. If you lose Shangjing again, then Mobei will be lost forever!

The Khitan cannot be defeated!

I can't die yet!

Even on this battlefield, I can't fall down!

Because they still have a hope-
To be continued...
