Chapter 252 The Emperor of Liao was forced to panic
That night, Qin Guan ordered to attack Bei'an Prefecture.
There were not many Liao soldiers stationed in Bei'an Prefecture, only 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers. The Northern Route Army blew open the city gate and wiped out all these people in just one round of killing.
After occupying Bei'an Prefecture, Qin Guan immediately ordered his troops to rest and reorganize.
During the past few days of marching in the snowy fields, many soldiers suffered from frostbite. This time, in Yelvshi's baggage, they found a lot of badger seed oil for treating frostbite. This stuff is very useful for frostbite and frostbite.
Qin Guan expressed his gratitude to Yelv Shi for his behavior of delivering medicine thousands of miles away.
It snowed heavily that night.
Snowflakes were falling like goose feathers.
The original road was difficult to walk, but now we no longer need to think about moving forward. We have to wait at least two days before we can set off.
That night, Qin Guan ordered Bei'an Prefecture to close the city and collect wine, water, cattle and sheep from the city. He divided the 40,000 people into two groups, with 20,000 people responsible for security. The others could eat and drink as much as they wanted. The second wave would come the next day, so that
Make sure there are no problems with the army.
The army suddenly cheered.
The fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and people cheered and drank happily.
A rough and arrogant man said loudly, "Fighting with a commander is a breeze. He uses his troops like a god to win every battle. He treats us brothers very well. He is considerate of his subordinates. With such a commander, it doesn't matter even if he is killed in battle." There was someone next to him.
He laughed and scolded: "During the war, you rushed forward risking your life. I think you just wanted to die, just to earn five times the commander's pension, right?"
"So what, if I kill every Liao dog, I will get an extra reward. If I die, I will receive five times the pension. What am I afraid of? With my life, I can earn a share of the family business for my two sons. I have done a good job."
"Well done!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Then he raised the bowl and drank the full bowl of wine, shouting that he was happy.
The other 20,000 soldiers who were responsible for the escort were all very greedy when they smelled the scent of soju. They ate meat freely, but there was meat but no wine, and they were very greedy.
Listening to the excitement of the military camp not far away, I felt itchy and greedy.
Some people secretly swore that I will drink it to death tomorrow, and I will starve you bastards to death.
It snowed heavily all night and stopped the next day. However, white snow was howling in the north. This kind of weather was not suitable for marching at all. Qin Guan had already made up his mind to let the soldiers rest for two days, and he happened to not go anywhere.
, just rest in Bei'anju.
Qin looked at the map and silently thought about the future battle situation.
They have penetrated deeply into the Liao Kingdom. The interior of the Liao Kingdom is actually very empty, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Coupled with the current climate, it is not suitable for marching and fighting at all, so it is unlikely that other armies will encircle them. This gives Qin Guan a very large space.
.
Now I am in Bei'an Prefecture, and further ahead is Zezhou. Zezhou used to be Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is only a hundred miles away from Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing. The cavalry can fight back and forth in one day.
Qin Guan estimated the combat power of the Liao Kingdom and found that the Liao Kingdom really did not have many troops. There might be fifty thousand border troops, but they were all scattered along the front line of Datong Prefecture, far away from him. There was no large-scale Liao army in front of him.
The national army.
It is estimated that there are only tens of thousands of imperial guards in Dading Prefecture in the imperial city.
Qin Guan smiled and tapped on the map and said, "I don't know if the Emperor of Liao would like to welcome me as an uninvited guest."
In fact, you don't need to ask this question to know that Daozong Yelu Hongji couldn't help but dislike Qin Guan and already hated him to death.
"Wow~"
A military report from the front was thrown to the ground by Emperor Daozong of Daliao, and he immediately cursed: "Qin Guan, I will kill you."
Yelv Shi died in the battle, and the entire 20,000 Yulin Army was wiped out. The Yulin Army was Yelu Hongji's direct line unit. They were all the best of the elite, carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers. Twenty thousand people and half of the Yulin Army were lost in one fell swoop.
, this loss is really difficult for Yelu Acer to accept.
His face was deformed at this moment.
This is distressing,
If 20,000 frontier troops died, he wouldn't be like this, but if 20,000 imperial guards died all at once, he was really distressed.
It hurts my heart and my bones.
After scolding, he looked at the two prime ministers and a group of ministers and asked: "Now Qin Guan is in Bei'an Prefecture. The next step must be to go from Zezhou to Yuzhou and approach Dading Prefecture. What should we do now?"
.”
In the past, they really didn't pay much attention to Qin Guan, but such a lone army, without logistics and supplies, was wreaking havoc in the territory of Liao Kingdom, and was really going to fight all the way to Beijing. Now, all the ministers of Liao Kingdom were not only incredulous, but also worried.
Already.
The right prime minister said: "Your Majesty, Qin Guan's advance must be stopped. I propose to send another 20,000 Yulin Army, and then each family will mobilize some slaves and miscellaneous soldiers. The more the better, they can be in Songziling, Shenshan or Luming Mountain.
To stop him, as long as we occupy the right location, we should be able to hold it, and then we can gather the available troops in the country and annihilate him in one fell swoop."
At this time, Dalingya said: "There are only 20,000 imperial guards left in the capital. They still need to protect His Majesty's safety and cannot move lightly. I think it is better to organize a group of miscellaneous soldiers as soon as possible and just block Qin Guan in some dangerous positions.
"
"Then he ordered Yelu Zhongxin and Xiao Chucai to step up the offensive. As long as Zhao Guo is captured, Qin Guan will naturally retreat."
Prime Minister Zuo shook his head, "Using troops is not such a trivial matter. Yelu Chongxin believes that Xiao Chucai must have his own overall strategy for attacking Zhao State. Besides, although Zhao State has retreated again and again, they still have 400,000 soldiers in front, not just one
The problem can be solved by war, but Qin Guan is already close at hand."
Someone proposed to recall the two armies and wipe out Qin Guan. Someone immediately stood up and objected, "Not to mention the long journey, it will take at least nearly a month to return from Zhao to Liao. Could it be that we mobilized the whole country to attack Zhao just because of one person?"
Did Qin Guaner die just like this? You must know that because of this attack on Zhao, we have been preparing for ten years, and we don’t know when we will have to wait until next time."
There was a lot of speculation in the court, and a complete plan could not be produced. The more Yelu Hongji listened, the more annoyed he became. He slapped the table and said: "What I want now is a set of feasible plans, not listening to you talking here."
"
Everyone immediately silenced themselves.
To be honest, if Yelu Hongji was asked to hand over the last 20,000 imperial guards in his hand, he would not be reluctant but afraid. It can be said that this is his last trump card. If he has no strength at all, he may have different intentions.
Guys, replace it with yourself.
This is not unprecedented in the history of the Liao Kingdom.
"Order to form an army. Two thousand people from the first class, 800 people from the second class, and at least 500 people from the third to fifth classes. Whether you come out yourself or find them elsewhere, you must gather them for me within three days.
Send out 30,000 troops and horses."
"Order Xiao Tanye as the commander-in-chief to stop the Zhao army for at least a month."
"Order the remaining state capitals to gather 40,000 troops and horses to attack Qin Guan from the rear. Qin Guan must be wiped out on the grassland."
