Chapter 78 The big battle!

"But why is this happening? Our Khitan is obviously a warlike nation, but now it is being beaten like this. What is wrong with our Daliao?"

Someone cried and howled.

No one can answer this question, because Yelu Zhichong, who was fighting in Jingxing, could not.

There are eight passes in Taihang, and Jingxing is the only two roads that can drive big cars. Therefore, it goes without saying how important Jingxing is.

If Yelu Zhichong wanted to capture Taiyuan, the army had to pass through Jingxing. However, Jingxing was occupied by the Xia army. Jingxing, one of the eight passes in Taihang, included Niangzi Pass, Guguan and Tumen Pass. The three passes that were famous in history, and the three passes were aligned and became the unscrupulous throat of Zhongtaihang.

Unlike other passes, Jingxing has a gourd-like structure that tilts southwest to northeast. Yangquan is the bottom of the gourd, Niangziguan and Guguan are the thin waists of the gourd, Tianchang Ancient Town is equivalent to the gourd mouth, and Tumenguan is equivalent to the gourd handle.

Now Yelu Zhichong is blocked outside Tumen Pass.

Generally speaking, the pass is generally mainly defending nomadic peoples outside the pass, and the internal defense is not too strong, but in fact it is not easy to solve the problem from within the pass, especially in Jingxing, Taihang Mountain. Although it is possible to connect a large cart, it is actually impossible to set up more than 100,000 troops to solve the problem.

The so-called "one man should be a pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it, which is enough to reflect it at Tumen Pass.

After Yelu Zhichong attacked for half a month, Tumen Pass remained unmoved, and news from outside came again and again, making Yelu Zhichong restless.

Suicheng was lost.

Anxi City is lost.

Zhending Mansion was also lost!

Yelu Zhichong was anxious.

If he didn't go out and was blocked into the narrow road in the Taihang Mountains, the more than 100,000 troops might be reimbursed.

So Yelu Zhichong hurriedly withdrew from Taihang Mountain, but Yelu Zhichong was a little confused where to go next.

Zhending Mansion was lost, Anxi City was lost, and even Sui City was lost. The battle is almost the same as it is now.

Because at the beginning, the 300,000 army was only left with more than 100,000 troops in his hands. After fighting at Jingxing Tumen Pass for half a month, nearly 10,000 troops were settled in, and most of the food was consumed.

Now that I want to survive, I can only withdraw my troops as soon as possible. Although I may be punished to withdraw my troops now, the most important thing is to survive.

However, Yelu Zhichong wanted to escape, how could Wang Shao allow it?

This time, Daxia fought with the idea of ​​consuming the Liao Dynasty's new forces. From the beginning, the army was 300,000, and now there were less than 150,000 troops left. This was the result of Wang Shao's painstaking efforts.

In order to achieve this goal, Daxia almost used the national power to move the people of Zhending Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture to Mizhou. This was much more expensive than fighting a big battle. Although it was moved to Mizhou to build the Mizhou Industrial Park, if the price was not brought back from the Liao army, Wang Shao would be ashamed to see Ouyang Bian.

So, as soon as Yelu Zhichong emerged from Taihang Mountain, he was immediately strangled by the Daxia army.

Before this strangle, most of the battles were unconventional contacts, such as attacks that were mainly defending the city, wars that were mainly night attacks, and small-scale battles that were mainly encountered in the form of encounters... But this time was the first war that was mainly directed by large-scale field battles!

Wang Shao gathered 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry to fight Yelu Zhichong head-on.

When an army with a scale of more than 300,000 is in battle, it is impossible to place it on a battlefield, but it scatters and fights in a large area.

The two sides started a battle between sentries again, and then it was the front-facing kill between the forwards, followed by the left and right wings.

Cavalry, infantry and other troops cooperated like sophisticated machines, and rushed forward and strangled each other.

At this time, the military quality between the two countries was reflected.

The Liao army was dispersed and the orders were stagnant. The officers' command level was low, and the soldiers' execution ability was not high. The key was that they were not very morale and were afraid to move forward.

The army on Xixia has strict military discipline and is well-connected, especially the lower-level officers have a greater role. The officers at the squad level manage their squads properly and complete the orders assigned by their superiors without fail.

The morale of the soldiers is very high. They are not worried that their teammates will abandon them at all. They only need to deal with the place directly in front, and they have their own comrades on their left and right backs, so they don’t need to act at all.

The effect shown in this way is that looking down from a height of 1,000 meters, the Daxia army formed three sharp swords on the battlefield, the left, middle and right, divided the Liao army into several pieces, and then carried out concentrated harvesting.

Yelu Zhichong was an excellent young soldier, but his experience, military skills, and his will were not enough to lead an army of more than 100,000, nor was he enough to command a war involving an army of more than 300,000.

Not long after he entered the war, he found that he had lost command of most of the troops, and the troops of each part began to act on their own. The left wing had a problem first, so he was broken through by the Xia army, resulting in the sudden attack of the central army.

Seeing this, the right-wing army quickly left the central army, but unexpectedly they were directly beaten by the Xia army's central army and the left-wing army.

So all the three armies of the Liao army were disbanded, and the Xia army immediately divided the Liao army and then harvested them.

This process took only four hours, and Yelu Zhichong's army fell into chaos.

Wang Shao, who had already advanced to the scene for command, couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it?"

This is not very harmful, but it is indeed extremely insulting.

Zhe Ju couldn't help but smile and said, "It took us several months to introduce them to this point step by step, and the result of this battle was natural."

Wang Shao glanced at Jie Ju and said, "Weakening is weakening, but Yelu Zhichong still has more than 100,000 troops in his hand. If it were Yelu Zongjian, it would not be easy for us to deal with him. Such a large-scale battle would not be able to be taken down in less than ten days and half a month. It would have become like this in two hours. Yelu Zhichong is really too trash!"

The Liao army was defeated. In such a large-scale war, even if the God of War resurrected, it would definitely be difficult to have an impact on the war. The rest is to clean up the mess.
