back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 958 The Final Battle ([-])

Although there are only a few million Khitan people, the army of the Liao Kingdom is almost a million people.

The palace tent army, imperial tent cavalry, Han army plus tribal private soldiers, probably exceeded one million.

The reason why Dashun was afraid of the Liao Kingdom was because of this.

You said that you are a country with millions of people, but you have millions of soldiers and horses. Why doesn't this make the leading country frightened?In fact, the millions of soldiers and horses in the Liao Kingdom also have water.For example, tribal private soldiers, they are herdsmen in the first place, and only in wartime will they take up sabers, bows and arrows to fight.Not to mention the Han Chinese, they were originally farmers, artisans, and even slaves.When it came time to fight, they were incorporated into the army and served as infantry.Craftsmen are paid better, but they also have to contribute their labor to make all kinds of equipment for the Liao army.

The real standing army of the Liao Kingdom is still the palace tent army and the imperial tent cavalry, as well as the guards in Shangjing, Zhongjing and Tokyo.But this army only has tens of thousands of people, so it is not counted.

There should be 70 horses in the total of the Liao Palace tent army and the imperial tent cavalry.

Maybe this number is a bit watery, after all, eating soldiers' blood is not the monopoly of the Han people.

But with another discount, five or six million is always there.

Now Yelu Hongji was going to put all his eggs in one basket, and transferred back the palace tent troops stationed in various places, and wanted to have a final decisive battle with the imperial army.

As soon as the military order came out, the Forbidden Army knew about it in advance.

No way, now in the Liao Kingdom, there are more Han people than Khitan people, and there are hundreds of spies hiding, just like playing.

The Supervision Department has already planted many pawns in Linhuang Mansion, and now is the time to reap them.Before the military order left the city, it had already been discovered by the Supervision Department's spies in advance by various means, and then secretly sent to the clinic table.

"Captain, should we take the initiative to attack?"

The generals below asked for a fight one after another.After resting for several days, they were tired of themselves.Seeing that midsummer is coming, the Khitan army is strong and strong.If it drags on, their advantage will decrease by another point or two.

"Although the walls of Linhuang Mansion are high and thick, the Khitan people are not good at defending the city!"

"Taiwei, the general feels that it is better to fight quickly!"

"Captain..."

……

The doctor pondered for a long time before waving his hand: "You can't fight!"

"What?" All the generals thought they had auditory hallucinations, "Can't fight?!"

The doctor nodded: "We have already occupied the southern part of the Liao Kingdom with the most fertile aquatic plants. The Liao Kingdom has nothing to do with us for a while. Besides, we will be able to repair here in one month. If there is a fight, I don't know what will happen." No victory. With the straight road, our handwork can be guaranteed. But what about the Khitan people? The daily consumption of tens of thousands of horses is a bottomless pit. How long can the Liao Kingdom last? Therefore, Yelu Hongji is better than us Still in a hurry, we stand still and let Yelu Hongji attack. We rely on trenches, barbed wire and bunkers, and Yelu Hongji can't do anything about us!"

Wang Shao on the side said: "A good fighter is invincible, and he will not lose the enemy's defeat."

The generals who can be in the big tent of the Chinese army have all read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and nodded upon hearing this.Only Yang Huaiyu was full of anger, but dared not vent it.After all, the diagnosis and treatment army is extremely strict. If he touched the military law, he would be sent to the military law office for confinement.Yang Huaiyu was imprisoned many times in the Royal Military Academy, so she has a natural sense of fear of the small black room.Even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to vent it in public.

The doctor ordered: "Pass down the command of the commander in chief, all departments should stick to their positions, change defenses on time, and be alert to the Liao army's attack!"

"Order!!!"

There is no need for a medical certificate, everyone knows one thing.The food and grass of the Liao army will soon run out.And the Forbidden Army has Dashun as their backer, so they don't have to worry about food and grass at all.If the road was built to the vicinity of Linhuang Mansion, then the Imperial Army would have no worries.If the Chi Road has been repaired to this point, it will be 120 times more worry-free.

Yelu Hongji was also worried about this matter. He ordered the people of the Liao Kingdom to gather all their cattle, sheep and food to the Huangfu to prepare for a decisive battle.

But the property of the herdsmen cannot be seized by a piece of thin paper as the emperor.For the sake of cattle and sheep, resistance broke out in countless places.The Khitan people are brave and brave. In order to defend their own property, they are all daring to go all out.Even Yelu Hongji didn't know what to do now.

"We must fight as soon as possible!!!"

For the first time, Yelu Hongji felt that fighting is not fun.When I have the upper hand, I naturally feel that fighting is very enjoyable; once I am at a disadvantage, it is a kind of torture.

As soon as the 30 garrisoned palace tent troops returned to Linhuang Mansion, Yelu Hongji immediately issued an order, set up a formation, and prepared for a decisive battle.

Only this time, the Forbidden Army did not respond.

The soldiers of the imperial army just leaned in the trenches and in the bunker, watching the palace tent army that had gathered nearly [-] people expressionlessly, but they were not worried at all.

Wars do not depend on numbers.

Sometimes, the more people there are, the worse things will be.

It's a pity that now Yelu Hongji has been dazzled and can't think of this aspect.

If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.Now Yelu Hongji is crazy.He knew that once Dashun's policy of buying people's hearts spread, he would be digging the foundation of the Liao Kingdom.The Liao Kingdom relied on bows and horses to build the country, and the Khitans raised them like sheep. So what is the difference between the Khitans and the Han people?
This time, he had learned his lesson and no longer engaged in personal conquests, but delegated the command to Yelu Sala, the King of the Northern Academy.

Yelu Sala is a rare general in the Liao Kingdom with both civil and military skills, with a loyal and honest temperament.In the early years of Liaoqing and Ningning, Yelu Sala moved to the southwest to recruit envoys, and it was called "Government".In the ninth year of Liao Xianyong, he was promoted to the king of the North Academy.Yelu Sala is another deadly enemy of Yelu Yixin's party, and Yelu Hongji didn't like it at first.But now it's time to employ people, Yelu Hongji can't take much care of him anymore.

Under the urging of Yelu Hongji, Yelu Sala dispatched troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the imperial army.

However, the Liao army was ready, but the forbidden army did nothing, as if it had nothing to do with them.It was like punching cotton with all its strength, which made Yeluzala feel quite aggrieved.

"This Han dog really looks down on people!" Yelu Sala was in the camp of the Chinese army, his face livid with anger, "Pass down my military order, let the imperial tent ride on his own, and all the Han troops will attack together! I don't believe it, fight At your door, can you remain indifferent?"

The Liao army moved, and there were more than [-] people.

In front are infantry, looking at the ragged appearance, one can tell it is the Han army.Behind him was a tall horse with full armor, like a heavy cavalry. The Imperial Army also knew that it was the most elite imperial cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.

Dr. Zhong picked up the binoculars, looked at it, and murmured: "Yelu Hongji is very serious about the decisive battle, but he thinks that this commander will definitely not be able to do what he wants..."

Putting down the binoculars, the doctor yelled coldly: "Pass down the commander's military order, strictly guard against death, and don't attack!"
