Put down the Khitan rebellion within a month?
this……
This is impossible!
When Xiao Huaizhong heard this, he suddenly raised his head and was shocked.
"One month? Prime Minister, this is impossible! The Khitan rebels are large in number, occupy a large area, and have many cavalry. They are very cunning and elusive. How can they put down the rebellion in one month? Please explain to Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
Heshi Lieliangbi pursed his lips and sighed.
"I can not do it."
"How could it be? Prime Minister! Prime Minister! Please show your noble hand! Help me! Help me!!"
Xiao Huaizhong's knees went weak and he knelt on the ground. With tears streaming down his face, he knelt down to He Shi Lieliang and asked for help.
Heshi Lieliangbi stepped forward to support Xiao Huaizhong and helped him up, with regret on his face.
"This is no longer something I can decide. I might as well tell you that before I came here, when I received your majesty's appointment, I had already requested your majesty. It should be impossible to quell the Khitan rebels in one month, but your majesty I can’t listen to any advice anymore.”
"…………"
Xiao Huaizhong's face was full of despair.
"Gao Cunfu and Xiao Tula have exhausted His Majesty's patience. I can't protect myself. Xiao will stay behind and hope for the best."
Heshi Lieliangbi patted him on the shoulder and added: "If you find it difficult, think more about your family. In order to protect your family and your innocent wife and children, you always have to pay some price."
Xiao Huaizhong was shocked and stopped talking.
Heshi Lieliangbi did not stay long, and hurriedly left here, taking the captured Gao Cunfu and Xiao Tula with him, and quickly rushed back to recover their lives.
What is left behind is the helpless Li Yanlong and the desperate Xiao Huaizhong.
Li Yanlong was in a hurry. At least his life was not in danger, but what else could Xiao Huaizhong do?
So he had no choice but to reorganize his army and changed his previous passive offensive strategy into an active offensive strategy.
Because the number of the Khitan army continued to increase and its combat effectiveness continued to increase, the Jin army had transformed from a siege battle at the beginning into a confrontation battle. Both sides built fortresses under Pingguo City, sometimes attacking and sometimes defending.
As time went by, the number of attacks by the Khitan army continued to increase, while the number of attacks by the Jin army continued to decrease, and their morale continued to decline.
Correspondingly, the morale of the Khitan army was high, and there were even Khitan troops who took the initiative to challenge.
This situation lasted until Xiao Tula was taken away and the Jin army's morale was shaken.
Xiao Huaizhong knew that he had no way out, except victory or death. In order to gain a chance to survive, Xiao Huaizhong decided to attack the Khitan army at all costs.
Although he himself is a Khitan and was once a descendant of the Liao royal family, it is obvious that now, he will never regard himself as a Khitan. He will only hate these rebellious Khitans.
In order to reverse the declining morale, Xiao Huaizhong selected 3,000 elite soldiers, fully armed them, and then gave them generous rewards, allowing them to become the absolute main force in charging with his own soldiers.
He stipulates the rewards they can get after killing enemies. The more they kill, the more rewards they will get. If they kill to a certain level, they can directly become officers, and the path to advancement is completely opened.
Enticed by money and promotion, these elite soldiers were gearing up to follow Xiao Huaizhong.
The Khitan Restoration Army did not notice any changes in the Jin Army. When the Jin Army took the initiative to attack, they also fought against each other and took the initiative.
The Khitan Restoration Army general Zhun Le led five thousand troops to face off against Xiao Huaizhong, and launched an aggressive attack on the Jin army. Unexpectedly, this Jin army had an extremely strong will to fight and an extremely strong desire to win. In just two sticks of incense, they were defeated. The Khitan Liberation Army's front began to waver.
Xiao Huaizhong saw the opportunity, beat the drum and ordered the cavalry to attack. The Jin Army cavalry attacked bravely and defeated the Khitan cavalry in one fell swoop.
As soon as the cavalry was defeated, the Khitan army's military formation became unstable, and a complete collapse was just a matter of a stick of incense.
Brown Le was killed by Jin Army cavalry in the rebellion. The Khitan Restoration Army suffered heavy losses, with only a thousand people able to escape back to the camp alive.
This victory greatly boosted the morale of the Jin army. Xiao Huaizhong struck while the iron was hot and continued to lead troops to storm the camps of the Khitan Restoration Army. Within three days, he broke through five camps, killed more than 2,000 Khitan Restoration Army soldiers, and captured more than 5,000. Seized materials piled up.
Xiao Huaizhong waved his hand - all the captured materials were rewarded to the soldiers. He would not take any money. After the rebellion was suppressed, he would personally distribute the spoils. If he broke his promise, there would be five thunderbolts from heaven.
The whole army roared with joy, and then Xiao Huaizhong waved his hand and continued to lead the soldiers to charge into the battle - kill more, take more, win more, and everyone will be promoted together!
Get promoted and make a fortune!
The Jin army swept away its previous decadence and low morale, launched a massive attack on the Khitan Restoration Army, and successively broke through the camps of the Khitan Restoration Army. The gap in combat experience between the regular army soldiers who had received military training and the rebel soldiers who had not received military training was fully exposed.
The sudden explosion of the Jin Army shocked the Khitan Restoration Army. They organized many counterattacks, but were all defeated by the Jin Army. The camps were broken down one by one, and their morale was weakening day by day. This situation made Sa Ba very worried.
"The Golden Thief suddenly took an extremely proactive offensive and had high morale. I don't know what happened. But if this continues, our army is likely to lose all its camps and be surrounded again. This is not what I want to see."
Saba asked the generals: "What do you think?"
Most people looked heavy and kept silent. They realized that their strength was still far behind that of the Jin Army. The previous victory and strength were not because they were strong. It might be that the Jin Army did not have the will to fight. But now, they have. .
Sa Ba shook his head and looked at Su Yin beside him.
"Mr. Su, what do you think?"
"I think it's unusual for the gold thieves to suddenly attack so aggressively. It may be because there's something wrong with them internally."
Su Yin looked at the problem from a more professional perspective and gave Saba some inspiration.
"You mean that the gold thief may have been urged by the gold owner and was forced to take the initiative to attack?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, otherwise there would be no reason to suddenly attack so proactively. If this is really the case, then this may not be a crisis for our army, but an opportunity for our army."
"oh?"
Saba became happy and asked, "How do you say this?"
"If the golden thief is forced to attack so proactively, his general will be impetuous. If he is impetuous, he will easily make mistakes and fall into traps. It is not impossible for our army to seize the opportunity to counterattack and win in one fell swoop."
"That makes sense."
Saba's general Yi Lawo'o expressed support for this: "It is impossible for gold thieves to suddenly become very good at fighting. The same group of people fight in completely different ways. There is only one explanation, that is, they were forced, and they are still the same kind of unscrupulous people. If you win the battle, you will be severely punished!”
The more Saba thought about it, the more he felt it was right, so he thought over and over again and made preparations for strategic contraction.
