Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 487 North Anzhou

In fact, at the same time when Zhao Chen and Qu Duan were speaking, at Juyongguan, more than a thousand miles away, the city gate was opened wide, and 170,000 soldiers and horses of the Yanyun Military Region came out of Juyongguan and entered the vast and deep mountains.

The army marched in the deep mountains, without seeing any traces of people along the way!

In the earliest days, the Jurchens deployed many spies north of Juyongguan. However, since the beginning of this year, the Yanyun Military Region has continuously sent elite teams into the mountains to clean up all the Jurchen spies! It has been more than half a year now, and it is really quiet here. The Jurchens don't know what happened in Juyongguan at all!

The mountain road is rugged, even the cavalry can only lead the horse forward! But the marching speed of the army is not slow at all! They started in the morning and didn't stop until the sun went down!

After the sky was completely dark, the 170,000 troops began to rest! Before they set off, they had thoroughly investigated the road here, and they had already found a resting place sheltered from the wind!

There is no fire on the mountain, and there are hardly any sounds from everyone! At this moment, the mountain is very quiet, as if nothing happened!

The 170,000 troops carry military rations with them! And this military ration is the most common fried noodles in later generations, which is easy to carry.

They carried special felt blankets on their backs and covered themselves with them. Numerous soldiers huddled together to keep each other warm.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was dim, and the 170,000 troops had already marched north again!

Still no sign of anyone on the road!

The army chose the most remote place to march, and almost no one was left behind along the way, only some soldiers had to stop after turning their feet, and the faces of these soldiers were full of annoyed expressions! These soldiers will stay where they are, and the militiamen will pass by here soon. If their foot injuries are healed, they will join the militia team. If their foot injuries are still not good, the militiamen will send them back to Juyongguan.

On the third day, an army of 170,000 came to Jiugongling!

This is an important stronghold north of Juyongguan!

In history, when Mongolia destroyed gold, the first battle took place in Jiugongling! At that time, the Kingdom of Jin gathered an army of 300,000, which was the elite force of the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, Genghis Khan only led 50,000 to 60,000 people. Thousands of elite soldiers! After this battle, the whole country of Jin was shocked. No one thought that the unified regime that had just emerged on the Mongolian grassland would be so powerful!

This time the Great Song Dynasty was also engaged in a battle to destroy gold, but instead of going south from Jiugong Ridge, it went up from Jiugong Ridge to the north!

At this time, the Song Dynasty had just recovered the Central Plains and Yanyun, and its military strength and morale were by no means inferior to the Mongols in history. The national power of the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of Mongolia in history! The number of troops that Song Dynasty could mobilize is not comparable to that of Mongolia! The cavalry tactics of the Song Dynasty are also completely copied from Mongolia in history! For this battle, the army is full of confidence!

After arriving at Jiugong Ridge, the marching speed of the army suddenly accelerated a bit!

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the soldiers are on their way in the dark!

They are very used to such long-distance marches! Starting from Guanshan, the army has been training endlessly, almost once or twice a month for long-distance march training! This kind of training can not only strengthen the soldiers' physique, but also strengthen the soldiers' will, and can be used in actual combat. This is the hard training that must be carried out in the infantry drills! Now they are moving forward as they trained in the past. Some soldiers have begun to get tired, but they still follow the large army and don't let themselves fall!

Until late at night on the seventh day of September, they finally came out of Jiugong Ridge.

"More than a hundred miles to the east is Bei'an Prefecture, where eight thousand golden soldiers are stationed! We are an army of 170,000 attacking Bei'an Prefecture, so naturally there will be no mistakes, but I am afraid that someone will escape! Brother Yanxian, you lead five Thousands of cavalry go north, set up an ambush around the Liuzhou Pavilion, and intercept the eight thousand Jurchens!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Okay!" Li Yanxian nodded and agreed.

Liuzhou Pavilion is a small town thirty miles north of Bei'anzhou, but to get there, you need to cross Sixiang Ridge, Modou Ridge and other places, and the road is very difficult! There is the only way for the Jurchens to escape!

"I will force the 8,000 enemy troops away, and then set up an ambush on the road to try to annihilate them! This is the first battle in the north, and we must fight well!" Li Xianzhong said.

As he spoke, the terrain around Bei'an Prefecture seemed to appear clearly in front of him, and the defenses in various places in Bei'an Prefecture also seemed to clearly appear in front of his eyes. He was confident that he would annex it at the lowest cost. These eight thousand Jurchens!

He was the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty after Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in the Southern Song Dynasty. He once cooperated with Yu Yunwen to destroy hundreds of thousands of gold soldiers led by the gold master Wan Yanliang. There are countless battles, and the talent for using troops is no longer inferior to the original Li Xianzhong in history! At this moment, he is truly confident!

*** ***

Gradually, the day passed and it was late at night.

At the moment in Bei'an Prefecture, it is very quiet here.

This Bei'an Prefecture was originally a city built by the Liao people. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Bei'an Prefecture has become a relic, and later generations have never seen it again. Originally, this was an important city connecting Zhongjing and Yanjing of the Liao Kingdom. Because of the large number of business exchanges, it was very prosperous, but now it is empty. When the night comes, there is also a curfew here.

Among the state offices in Bei'an Prefecture, the last place is the place where Yeluyun, the guard of Bei'an Prefecture, lives!

Yeluyun was born in the Khitan royal family. When the Jurchen invaded, he took refuge in the Jurchen, so he became the Jurchen defender!

The moonlight was bright outside, and Yeluyun was sitting in the room drinking slowly.

The weather has become cold, and the stove is lit in the house.

A woman dressed as a Jurchen came in from the outside and sat beside Yeluyun. This was Yeluyun's wife. After he joined the Jurchen, he had to marry this noble Jurchen woman named Wanyanjing!

"The night is getting dark, isn't your husband still asleep?" Wanyan asked quietly.

"I'm thinking about something!" Yeluyun said.

"I don't know what's going on?" Seeing that the wine in Yeluyun's glass had been exhausted, Wan Yanjing picked up the jug and poured him another glass.

"It's nothing, it's just that Liaodong is not very quiet recently, and the Khitan people in Liaodong have risen to rebel!" Yeluyun said.

"After all, they are no match for our Jurchens! They are just some untouchables, nothing worth mentioning!" Wan Yanjing said.

After Yeluyun took refuge in the Jurchen, she had long regarded herself as a Jurchen, and Wan Yanjing had always regarded her husband as a Jurchen!

"I don't know what these untouchables are thinking? I really don't understand why they rebelled? Marshal Zonghan has already talked with Yelu Dashi, saying that our Jurchens have cooperated with Khitan, why these untouchables still can't figure it out What is the reason for them to rebel?" Yeluyun said.

"The untouchables are ignorant of the world and don't understand the overall situation of the world, so they will naturally rebel." Wan Yanjing said.

But they didn't want to think about the two or three million Khitan people in Liaodong who couldn't eat, and countless people starved to death. How could they not rebel under such circumstances?

"The untouchables really have nothing to worry about. By the end of the year, Lord Yelu Dashi will lead troops south, and the Mongolian barbarians will also lead troops south. We will attack the Central Plains again! At that time, it will be the end of the Han people!" Yelu Yun said.

"I don't know if we can defeat the Han people?" Wan Yanjing said.

"No problem! The strength of the Han people is actually not strong. They just killed the second prince and the others by tricks! If they were really strong, they should have come out of Yanyun in more than a year. What a pity they Don't dare, they are much less courageous than mice!" Yeluyun laughed.

"That's true!" Wan Yanjing nodded.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early! In fact, I also want to participate in the battle to attack the Central Plains, but I am afraid that Commander Zong Han and the others will attack the Han people from Datong instead of Juyongguan! Although the Han people are incompetent and cowardly, Juyongguan is very powerful. The defense is like a tortoise shell, it is difficult to break open, and it is safest to attack the Central Plains from Datong!" Yeluyun said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they had already stood up. At this moment, there was a loud noise outside.

"What's wrong?" Yeluyun came outside and shouted loudly.

"General, someone is coming to see you at this time. We said you were already asleep, but they still want to disturb you." A guard at the gate of the distant courtyard hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Who is it?" Yeluyun asked.

"It's some soldiers from Jiugongling!" the guard said.

"What are they going to report?" Yeluyun asked.

"They actually said that Song Jun appeared in Jiugongling area! It's ridiculous. Who doesn't know that Song Jun is timid and cowardly. He never dared to leave Juyongguan. How can he appear now?" The guard laughed.

Yeluyun frowned and said, "Let them come to see me!"

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers entered the courtyard, and they knelt down in front of Yeluyun and Wanyanjing.

"Why did the Song army appear in the Jiugongling area? Could it be that a small group of Song army came out to investigate?" Yeluyun said.

"General, it's not a small army, but an extremely large army! At least tens of thousands, maybe more!" a soldier said.

"Tens of thousands of people? How is it possible?" Yelu Yun asked in disbelief.

"General, this matter is absolutely true. The Song Army is approaching our door, we must hurry up and take precautions!" said the soldier.

"Impossible! The Song army is timid and will not take the initiative to leave the customs! Song people are the easiest to be satisfied. They got Yanyun and the Central Plains. The only thing they can do is to defend Yanyun and the Central Plains. They will not have any ambitions to get more It's time!" Yeluyun said.

"General, it's absolutely true at this time!" These dozen or so soldiers were extremely anxious at the moment!

It is clear that the enemy's army is coming, and the generals have not taken any precautions, how can they not be surprised?

At this moment, there was another commotion outside, Yeluyun frowned and said, "What happened again?"

Just after he finished speaking, a commander of a thousand and a few centurions barged in from a distance, saying, "General, something is wrong! The Song army is here, and there are a lot of them!"

Yeluyun was taken aback, and said, "What?"

The commander said: "General, we are stationed 20 miles away. We have been attacked by the Han people. Our hundreds of soldiers and horses have been defeated. We can only report to you immediately!"

Yeluyun said incredulously: "Are you sure you're not mistaken, Song Jun really has the courage to come out of Juyongguan? How is it possible? They are Han people, they should not have such courage!"

The commander said anxiously: "General, let the soldiers and horses in the city get ready!"

Yeluyun didn't believe it at first, but after two groups of people reported it one after another, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will trust you for a while, if the Han people don't come, I will definitely question you!"
