When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 182: Isn’t this battle with Emperor Taizong of Liao a little too embarrassing?
[Subsequently, the Hou Jin army was stationed in Baiwei Village, but they did not expect that a strong wind suddenly blew in this place. The wind was so violent that it raised dust on the ground and broke nearby trees. The surrounding area was in chaos. 】

[Yelu Deguang felt that this was a God-given opportunity, a good time to catch all the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. 】

[So after daybreak, the Iron Harriers were ordered to dismount and fight. At the same time, they also took advantage of the wind and sent people to set fire and raise dust to increase the momentum. 】

[Facing the fierce attack from the Khitan side, the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty were naturally unwilling to surrender and die in vain, so they all shouted: "Why don't we use soldiers to let the soldiers die in vain!"]

[Why do you shout this sentence? 】

[Yes, at this time, Du Chongwei is still hesitating. He said that the wind is too strong now and the situation is unclear, and he wants to wait until the wind stops. 】

[This idea was opposed by a large number of generals, because the situation of the Later Jin army was not very good, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty to the extreme. 】

[Li Shouzhen believed that this was the time to go to war. Although they did not know the situation of the Khitan due to the wind and sand, the Khitan also did not know the situation of the Later Jin Dynasty. 】

[If they cannot seize this opportunity, once the wind stops and the weakness of the Later Jin Dynasty is known to the Khitan army, how can they let go of this good opportunity? 】

[By then, the later Jin Dynasties will really have no chance. 】

[Thereupon, Huangfu Yu and others led their cavalry to attack vigorously. This was beyond the expectations of the Khitan side, and because the Iron Harrier Army had dismounted at this time, it was difficult to change into a charging formation for a while. 】

[In addition, the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, making it difficult for the communication and command between the Khitan troops to be smooth, and the later Jin Dynasty gradually gained an advantage. 】
-
Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

The later Jin Dynasty's final choice to attack was almost unanimously approved by the generals during the Zhenguan period.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Although it is said that 'if the wind goes smoothly, follow it, and if the wind goes against it, be firm and wait for it', but we must make decisions based on the actual situation of our own army.

This is exactly what happened to the Later Jin Dynasty this time. It seems that Taizong of the Liao Dynasty believed that the Later Jin Dynasty would not be able to hold on, so they dismounted their Iron Harrier Army. "

You must know why the cavalry is called cavalry. The cavalry is in front of the soldiers!

Once a soldier dismounts from his horse, he is no longer the same as the cavalry. Once he dismounts, he naturally loses the advantage of the cavalry.

In an emergency, it is not only difficult for a dismounted cavalry to mount again and turn back into a cavalry, but also after successfully mounting, it is also difficult to conduct a joint charge with other cavalry, and its strength is greatly reduced.

The Khitan side ordered the Iron Harriers to dismount, obviously with the idea of ​​​​killing all the backward troops.

But the premise of all this is that the backward troops are worried about one thing and not the other, and they dare not take the initiative to attack.

If Du Chongwei's plan is followed and the wind weakens, then maybe the result the Khitan wants will come true.

The soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty did not have an advantage in numbers or equipment, and they were hungry and thirsty at this time. If the commander insisted on not fighting, morale would inevitably be low.

There is no strong fortress that can be used as a line of defense in the camp here. In the end, I am afraid that the Later Jin army will even surrender without a fight!

Cheng Zhijie scratched his head and was very dissatisfied with Du Chongwei: "Is this Du Chongwei incompetent, or is he afraid of the Khitans? Or is he a spy of the Khitans! This person is really bad!"

He felt that this person was the head coach but was unable to shoulder the responsibility of the head coach, had unclear judgment on occupation, and almost lost the lives of all the soldiers, so he might not be severely punished!Fang Xuanling was a little serious. He inferred from the miraculous words and Shi Chonggui's behavior that he always felt that Shi Chonggui would not do what he thought.

[This great victory of the Later Jin Dynasty instantly turned the tide of the war. The Khitan army began to retreat in succession. However, due to the rolling wind and sand, it was extremely difficult to transmit the news. 】

[So everyone’s descriptions became more and more exaggerated, and the news that finally reached Yelu Deguang’s ears became worse and worse. 】

[Seeing this, Yelu Deguang immediately turned around and began to retreat, and the later Jin side continued to pursue. 】

[It's not that the Later Jin Dynasty has much advantage at this time, but if they give up the pursuit at this time, the Khitan will notice something is wrong and react. 】

[Then they would all suffer, so under the cover of wind and sand, they kept chasing the Khitan side. 】

[Seeing that the situation was not good, Yelu Deguang felt that he had miscalculated and was completely ambushed by the Later Jin Dynasty. He was worried that the carriage was too slow and would be overtaken by the Later Jin Dynasty's army, so he found another camel and escaped by riding a camel. The pursuit of the Jin army. 】

[After the pursuit, the Later Jin Dynasty retreated south to Dingzhou to recuperate because they believed that their supplies were too poor and that the pursuit was enough to frighten the Khitan army.]
-
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Seeing this, Liu Qize was speechless: "Liao Taizong's battle was too embarrassing, wasn't it?"

From the beginning of the miracle to the present, I have talked about so many Taizongs. Except for his father, who was not a military general and did not fight in wars, the other Taizongs have basically fought in battles in person, and they fought honorably and performed perfectly.

The last person to flee in embarrassment on the battlefield was Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi. He fled north and south in a donkey cart, running at a speed that ordinary people could not match.

Although Taizong of the Liao Dynasty did not run as embarrassed as Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty this time and stopped after running for a while, it was still very embarrassing.

Liu Qi silently kept this kind of thing in mind, constantly reminding himself that he must not let himself fall into such a dilemma when he leads his army to fight in the future.

Even if he loses his face, there is no benefit - although he may not be able to fight the war himself or lead a military expedition in person.

But can Taizong of the Liao Dynasty and Taizong of the Song Dynasty, riding donkeys, carts and camels, be regarded as a kind of rivalry?
In other words, it’s a kind of back-and-forth...

[On April [-], Yelu Deguang returned to his army and stationed himself in Nanjing. 】

[Although the southward march was basically over, the border battle between the Khitan and the Later Jin Dynasty continued. For example, the Later Jin Dynasty counterattacked Gaoyang again, but failed. 】

[And Yelv Deguang naturally did not extinguish, and completely captured the minds of the Later Jin Dynasty, although he had gone south twice and returned with failure. 】

[These two failed southward marches did not have any impact on the Khitan. Although the situation of the Later Jin Dynasty was not good, the situation of the Khitan was not much better. 】

[The atmosphere within the Khitan has also become more subtle. After all, every battle consumes people and livestock. Even if the Khitan continues to develop, the people in the country will be unable to withstand such damage. 】

[Therefore, a contradiction that has always existed but has always been ignored has surfaced: the grassland standard and the control of the Central Plains. 】

[Yelu Deguang may not be thinking about unifying the Central Plains and establishing the Khitan Empire at this time, but he is obviously interested in the Central Plains region.He never forgets it and always prefers to dominate the Central Plains. 】

[It can be expected that there will always be a group of people inside who are obsessed with the grassland. They think that the Central Plains is just a storage place for materials, and they do not intend to invest too much energy in the Central Plains. 】
