Chapter 344 Critical moment
However, once Kangshaoli's troops evacuated from Qiaoshan, Langshan and the big and small Qingshan lines, Shibi Khan, who was attacking the White Wolf Pass and the flanks of the Northern Gate's main force, were exposed to the imperial army. In this way, the imperial army could not only attack the flanks of the Northern Gate's main force, but also dispatch reinforcements to directly enter the White Wolf Pass. In short, it would inevitably bring major obstacles to Shibi Khan's attack on the White Wolf Pass.
Kang Shuoli had no choice but to turn around and fight back to Shenwuchuan, and call the police to Shibi Khan, asking Shibi Khan to divide his troops appropriately to protect the flanks of the main army. After he regained Shenwuchuan, he would attack Qiaoshan again to ensure that Khan could concentrate all his strength to attack the White Wolf Pass.
However, as soon as Kangshaoli's troops retreated and the situation changed again, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Turks.
Before attacking Shenwuchuan, Yang Yichen sent messengers to the battlefield of Bailang Pass to find Li Jing, the general of the Right Wugu, to details the current military situation, and asked him to cooperate on Qiaoshan, Langshan and Xiaoqingshan, and to report to the ambassador of Northeast Road, Zhuojun remained in the guards and the general of the left guard Xue Shixiong, and asked him to maintain contact with him. From now on, 30,000 soldiers in Xijing will obey the order of Wuyin Gong, fight side by side with the soldiers of Northeast Road on the battlefield of Bailang Pass, living and dying together.
After receiving the message, Li Jing immediately reported to the General of the Beiping Zhuyingyang and the General. Qin Xinggong led the Xijing reinforcements to Shenwuchuan and was forcing the Sanggan River to attack Shenwuchuan. The situation of the war was about to change. Zhuyingyang was asked to pay close attention to the battlefield. Once the Beiluo had signs of retreat, he would launch a counterattack without hesitation. He must drag the main force of the Beiluo on the battlefield and give the Xijing army enough time to cross the river to attack Shenwuchuan.
In the early morning of September 21, the Beilu troops, which were constantly attacking Qiaoshan, retreated one after another, and then the Beilu in the direction of Langshan, the large and small green mountains also gradually retreated.
The Beiping army then took the initiative to attack and struggled to hold back the retreating enemy.
Upon hearing the news, Li Jing told the Chief Zhu Yingyang of Beiping again: If the attack of the Xijing army is smooth and the Shenwuchuan is captured, the Beilu will be in a dilemma of being attacked by the enemy from both sides and cannot be forced to go out. The Beilu, the main force of the Beilu who is attacking the Bailang Pass, will also mobilize troops to attack Shenwuchuan to ensure the safety of its rear wings. In this way, the Xijing army will definitely fall into the front and back attack of the Beilu. Although the Xijing army can therefore restrain part of the Beilu's troops and alleviate the heavy pressure under the Bailang Pass to a certain extent, it is in danger under the Beilu's attack, so the Beiping army must take the initiative to attack. From Qiaoshan, Langshan, the large and small green mountains on the front line of the big and small mountains of Langshan, and do its best to support the Xijing army, in order to attract more Beilu troops to attack when the two armies fight together, and then form strong support to the Bailang Pass.
On the eve of dawn, the Beilu army on the front lines of Qiaoshan, Langshan and Qingshan were retreating faster and faster. The Beiping army pressed forward step by step and chased and fought fiercely.
On the eve of dawn, the main force of Kangshao Rating headquarters arrived in Shenwuchuan and attacked fiercely.
Under the command of Yang Yichen, the Xijing army had already formed a battle formation, and heavy weapons were also continuously transported from the other side. After the soldiers won the first battle, they were as powerful as rainbows, and they were not afraid of the main force of the Northern Barbarians. The sound of killing shocked the sky.
On the eve of dawn, Shibi Khan received an urgent report from Kang Shouli and was extremely anxious.
Shenwuchuan must be brought back, otherwise the side of our side's rear wing would be completely exposed to the attack of the imperial army. As a result, our side was attacked by the imperial army, and it was impossible to concentrate its efforts to attack the Bailang Pass. What's more serious is that once the imperial army has established its foothold in Shenwuchuan and supports each other with Qiaoshan, Langshan and the large and small green mountains, as well as the Bailang Pass, it is equivalent to the Middle-earth people who are defending the Bailang Pass head-on while also being able to attack from the flanks, so that they will fall into a passive position. However, in this way, the power to attack the Bailang Pass is insufficient, which will give the imperial army that is defending the Bailang Pass to breathe, which will delay the Turks' time to open up the road home. The imperial emperor and imperial reinforcements are coming from both sides of the Sanggan River. The situation is extremely critical and time is getting tighter. How to choose?
After repeated weighing, Shibi Khan resolutely decided to mobilize 20,000 troops to attack Shenwuchuan with Kangshaoli. In critical moments, he must be calm and calm. He must not panic or be distracted. Water comes and earth covers the enemy, and the soldiers come to welcome him, kill him, and kill him, and see if it is my strong control of the string in the north or your heroic guard in the south.
On September 21, the rising sun rises, and golden sunshine spreads over the white wolf's battlefield.
In the northeast of the battlefield, the White Wolf Pass was fighting fiercely, and the Goose Feather Guard was fighting fiercely. Shibi Khan was in charge of the attack under the White Wolf Pass, and Shilivershi Ashinaduli also dragged his seriously injured body to command the battle. The two brothers were only fifteen miles apart, but this was an insurmountable fifteen miles. The two brothers had hope of meeting, but as time continued, the despair was also accumulated in their hearts and became stronger and stronger.
In the southwest direction of the battlefield, in the river valley less than ten miles in Shenwuchuan, four armies from both north and south invested about 100,000 troops fighting wildly.
Yang Yichen's Xijing army was trapped in the pincer attack of the Northern Lu Army, and Kang Shuoli's Beilu Army was also trapped in the pincer attack of the Empire army. The battlefields of both sides were intertwined, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.
On September 21, the emperor of the Empire was in high spirits. The sense of dominance that he was in control of the world and was full of straits made him very happy and excited. When he was full of passion, he couldn't help but improvise a poem.
However, his happiness was short, and the attack of the army was blocked. Although the soldiers on the front line were unmoved, the Beilu army had been compressed to a narrow battlefield that was only seventy or eighty miles long, and there was no way out. He could not retreat even if he wanted to retreat, so he had to fight to the death. If the imperial army wanted to continue moving forward, he could only step on the body of the Beilu and advance forward.
At this time, Xue Shixiong and the messenger sent by Jialan arrived to report the battle situation of Bailang Pass in detail. Liaodong was left behind. Duke Guan Guoyang Gongren led his army to support at the critical moment, which quickly alleviated the crisis of the fortress. However, the disadvantage of military strength, fatigue and loss after a long battle made it more and more difficult to defend the fortress. Xue Shixiong and Jialan beg the emperor to attack and attack at any cost to attack. They must severely damage the Northern Barbarians and destroy the will of the Northern Barbarians to win the final comprehensive victory of the decisive battle.
The emperor deeply felt the loyalty of the imperial generals such as Xue Shixiong and Jialan and all the imperial soldiers who fought on the decisive battle field to the empire and himself. At the same time, he was full of anger with the conservative and powerful people of the two capitals, political opponents, the generals and generals of the Guards who refused to serve the king, and the local governments and many Yingyang Houses who ignored the imperial edicts of serving the king and refused to send troops.
It is precisely because of these people's obstruction that these people betrayed themselves that the army to go north to serve the king is only 100,000. If this number can be doubled, then the imperial army on the decisive battle field can reach 300,000. In this way, it will definitely be able to use the power of thunder to kill the Northern Barbarians and kill the Shibi rebels. However, this is no longer possible. The only thing the emperor can do now is to supervise the army to fight to the death, to inspire morale with promotion and title, and to encourage morale by personally visiting the front line.
On September 22, the decisive battle situation fell into a more tragic stalemate.
Because 30,000 reinforcements in Xijing roared into the battlefield of the White Wolf Pass like sharp arrows, they firmly "nailed" on the Shenwu River, successfully restraining tens of thousands of Northern Barbarians, resulting in the Turkic people attacking the White Wolf Pass lacking potential and no longer able to push further. The two sides of the south immediately fell into a war of attrition, and both sides were fighting for will to see who could persevere until the end.
Shibi Khan and the powerful people in the business gradually became frightened.
The longer the war was delayed, the more unfavorable it was for the Turks. In addition to the increasingly bad weather and the serious lack of food and weapons, there were also many unfavorable factors such as the sharp loss of military strength and the increasing decline in morale and morale. Therefore, there was no way out, Shibi Khan then adopted the opinions of his subordinates and sent secret envoys to discuss peace with the imperial emperor in exchange for survival.
The history of war between the north and the south for more than a thousand years is actually a history of peace talks between the north and the south. Since historical records, the Civil War has never stopped. The battles between the two sides year after year, and no one can do anything to each other. So each war ended with peace talks. Both sides healed their wounds with temporary peace, recovered their vitality, and waited for the opportunity. When the time comes, the war began again. This cycle and over time became a routine.
Shibi Khan apologized and offered some compensation, promising to never commit crimes in Middle-earth again.
The imperial emperor refused. Since he ascended the throne, he has planned a grand national defense and diplomatic strategy, launched a Western and Eastern expedition, exhausted everything he did, for this moment. He did not hesitate to take risks, nor did hesitate to be humiliated by Yanmen, but also for this moment. In order for the empire to severely damage the Northern Territory, to win the victory of the Civil War, and to win at least a whole generation of people to recuperate, live and work in peace, and develop national strength, the emperor never gave up easily and never talked about peace.
Just at this moment, Taiyuan was in a hurry, Yanmen was in a hurry, Taihang thief King was pulled, Wei Daoer went down the mountain, and more than 100,000 rebels rushed out of Taihang like roaring mountain torrents, raging on the land of Shanxi.
There were no soldiers in Taiyuan and no soldiers in Yanmen. Taihang thieves could do whatever they wanted, and their goal was to capture Jinyang City, capture Yanmen City, cut off the transportation channels of the imperial army, interrupt the military supply of the imperial army, and put the imperial army in desperate situations, forcing the imperial emperor to end this decisive battle and have to let the Northern Barbarians break through.
If the Northern Barbarians retained a certain strength, they could pose a threat to the northern border of Central China, and the imperial garrisons had to fight on the two fronts of the enemy outside and suppressing rebellions inside. This won time and space for the development and growth of the Taihang thieves.
The emperor was so angry that he was furious that he gritted his teeth and wished he could swallow the Taihang thief alive.
Nayan Su Wei resolutely advised him that if he continued to fight, even if the Turks were defeated, how many imperial army would be left? If there were few elite soldiers loyal to the Holy Lord left, then after the decisive battle, what would the Holy Lord use to guard the northern frontier? What would the Holy Lord use to deter the powerful and nobles of the two capitals? What would he use to suppress the rebellion, resolve the domestic crisis, and stabilize the domestic situation?
The emperor refused to accept advice, refused to discuss peace, and refused to give up.
The emperor issued an edict to fight! Kill all the people! Only by severely inflicting the Northern Gate, completely defeating the Northern Gate, and completely annihilated the elites of the Turks, can we achieve the goal of resisting foreign powers and win long-term peace and stability for Middle-earth.
