Chapter 356: Legion of Death
Wang Yu's army was alone in the depths, and he didn't bring an auxiliary army, because it was a breakthrough battle, when he left Linhuang, he left Linhuang City without that condition.
A fast march is his top priority now, and looking for auxiliaries naturally has to cooperate with his eager march requirements, if he asks for a fast march, the man on horseback is naturally the most suitable, but he goes deep into the enemy's hinterland, where is the way to recruit?
Huanglong City, the capital city of Huanglong Mansion, that Wang Yu wants to fight, and it is a quick battle, if you can't find a suitable auxiliary soldier, it is better not to find it.
Huanglong City is not big, a small city that is only seven miles away, and it is even smaller than the dilapidated Taiyuan City before.
Huanglongfu was originally the capital of Buyeo, and when this Buyeo country was at its strongest, it was only a small vassal state with a span of no more than 2,000 miles, and it was still in a bitter cold place like Liaodong.
Later, the Taizu Emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Abaoji, led his troops to attack the Bohai Sea, and when the class returned to Beijing in April of the following year, Yelu Abaoji died of illness here, and it was rumored that there was a rising yellow dragon in the sky above the city at that time, and it was renamed Huanglongfu.
Huanglongfu is a place with abundant grains, a lot of surplus grain, and developed agriculture, but the city is not very high.
Most of the emperors of the Jin State lived in Shangjing, the old capital of the Liao State, the city was tall and big, surrounded by more than 30 li, it was the pearl of the grassland, and it was also convenient to rule the country.
The Jin people's decision to conquer Huanglongfu and make Huanglongfu the capital is, to a large extent, to achieve the goal of consolidating their own power by humiliating the Khitans.
And now after the emperor of the Jin State finished Yan Sheng's accession to the throne, he said that "there was no city at the beginning of the country, and the stars were scattered, calling the emperor's village, the country's minister's village, and the prince's village." Later, Emperor Zhai called Huining Mansion (now Harbin). 'Preparing for the Dingdu Ning Mansion.
The city of Huining Mansion was built in the sixth year of Xuanhe, and before Yan Sheng could move from the old capital of Liao to Huining Mansion, he was driven to Huanglong Mansion by Wang Yu.
Therefore, Wang Yu made a plan to fight Huanglong Mansion, not a temporary idea, he made extremely elaborate preparations, bypassed the old city of Liao and went to Beijing, and went straight to Huanglong Mansion.
The snow-capped Huanglong Mansion had no room to transfer at all at this time, and Wan Yan Sheng paid an unknown price, letting Wan Yan Zonghan attack Linhuang with all his might, and the soldiers pointed to the middle of the clouds.
In Wang Yu's view, it was Wan Yansheng who made the decision when he decided that the Great Song Dynasty had no offensive ability now when formulating the national policy.
Such a decision has led to the fact that the door of Huanglong Mansion is now wide open, and due to weather conditions, Wan Yansheng would never have imagined that anyone would brave the heavy snow to march.
The general looked at the marching codex and said, "General Wang, the last general knows where to find the auxiliaries. ”
"The Tatars of the Tatar Department have been bullied by the Jin people for a long time, but we don't know about them, and it is not clear whether they have the courage to resist the Jin people."
"But the last general once heard the Khitans in Linhuangcheng say that there were many Khitans who took refuge in the Tatar Department after the Liao was broken."
The general took out an object and put it on the table, saying: "You don't need to hire them, this thing will definitely drive the Khitan people to assist my Great Song army." ”
Wang Yu looked at it, and it was the dragon tin belt that Yelu Yu had worn all year round.
"Yelu Yu gave this to you?" Wang Yu looked at his generals in amazement.
Yelu Yu sees it as a treasure, and the treasure that he doesn't let others see, how can the Longxi gold belt, which represents his clan identity and the rationality of the Khitan people, be here?
The general quickly shook his head and said, "This is an imitation of the copper and lead made by the official family at the beginning, and the golden light is also copper." ”
He told Wang Yu how to fool Yelu Yu in the original planter, as well as the plan of the official family to order the Longxijin Belt to disrupt the Khitans.
Wang Yu suddenly realized and said: "No wonder Yelu Yu didn't let people see it easily, it turned out to be a fake." ”
"No wonder Yelu Dashi is reluctant to return to Liaodong, and even ran directly to the Western Regions and didn't come back, it turns out that their Khitan people are still fighting among themselves."
"Is the genuine product of the Longxi Gold Belt in Yelu Dashi?"
The general shook his head and said, "I don't know about this general, but we can use this dragon tin gold belt to bring a group of Khitans as auxiliaries." ”
Wang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "We are now in alliance with Yelu Yujian, will we use his power like this to bring him a bad influence?" ”
"If it's not good, it's not good, you take the Longxijin belt, go to the Khitan place, recruit 20,000 auxiliaries, and explain to them in advance that there is no grain and grass for them."
Wang Yu's tone became very fast, from an employment relationship to a white prostitute.
The general took the order to leave, and Wang Yu stood up and moved his body.
The wounds suffered in Taiyuan City last time were old wounds, and the wounds suffered in this battle in Linhuang City were new wounds.
Old wounds, new wounds, in this kind of cold weather, will be painful.
The veteran was covered in injuries and diseases, Wang Yu was used to it, and even some began to become numb to the pain.
But Wang Yu still did not rest, he took the pro-army to start patrolling the camp to check the soldiers on duty, and the spirit of most of the soldiers was quite high, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
It's the whole barracks that is lifeless, which makes people shudder.
The second patrol focused on the security of the battalion. Especially outside the camp, the camp will inevitably smash the pit to prevent the enemy's soldiers.
The heavy snow was smashed out of small pits by Wang Yu's army, Wang Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the rabbit running out of the hole, bent his bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow hit.
Wang Yu grabbed the corpse of the hare, his archery skills were still there, his body bones were still tough, and the slight pain did not affect his state.
That's enough.
After fishing two roe deer and three rabbits in the snow, Wang Yu was content to return to the camp, when he suddenly stopped.
Wang Yu looked at the tree not far away, there seemed to be a figure, and when he got closer, it was really a person, but it was just a corpse, which was already frozen.
"Call the logistics escort over!" Wang Yu shouted roaringly!
Because this is a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty!
But he didn't have a cotton coat on his body, and he actually wore a summer dress under his armor! And look at the outfit is the scout who didn't return from yesterday's heavy snow!
In fact, Wang Yu always thought that the scouts who went out to reconnoitre in the heavy snow last night were afraid of following his desperate battle and chose to flee.
But he saw the corpses of the scouts, and knew full that these scouts were afraid that they would freeze to death.
The guards looked left and right, but none of them moved.
"Go and call me the logistics guard! Are you all deaf?! Or is it that my words don't work? I'm going to ask him why the scouts didn't distribute cotton clothes! Wang Yu looked at the appearance of the guards and shouted even more angrily.
"General Wang, this is the logistics escort shift."
"He gave his son a cotton suit to wear, and his son was supposed to go on patrol last night, but his son couldn't see because of the heavy snow, so he went." A pro cautiously stood up and said.
Wang Yu was like being hammered, and he was in a trance. The man, who had not been knocked off his spine by the golden man, suddenly became a little unsteady on his feet, and he held on to the trunk of the tree to barely maintain his figure.
He looked at the scout under the tree, and when he was frozen to death, the direction in which this scout climbed out was still north!
The expression on Wang Yu's face was very complicated, he was doubting himself, was he really wrong in deciding the strategy of going north?
Another personal servant said: "A few days ago, the general issued a general order to the whole army, all fathers, sons, and brothers who serve in the army must choose one person to return to Yunzhong, and there is no cotton clothes for the two of them in logistics transfer. ”
"Let the father and son choose one to return to Yunzhong Road, why don't they go back?" Wang Yu asked with a frown as he leaned on the tree.
A personal guard stood up and said: "There is no one in the family of the quartermaster's escort, most of the soldiers of the Jiesheng Army are from Hedong Road, and many family members are in Wenshui, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and other places. ”
"There's no one at home, whether you go back or not, it's all the same, it's better to kill a few golden people."
Only then did Wang Yu fully understand why he led his troops north, but less than 2,000 people returned to the camp with Sun Yi.
His own soldier is the Jiesheng Army, which is originally from Hedong Road. The Jin people went south, the northern part of Hedong Road was directly slaughtered, and the southern part was rampant because of the pressure of the Jin soldiers, and the people were struggling to make a living.
He looked at the lifeless camp, then at the scouts on the ground, and then at the scars on his hands, the dead air on Jieshengjun's body was very heavy, and Wang Yu had also thought of many ways, but to no avail.
The soldiers of the Jiesheng Army followed their own goals, and even the desires of making meritorious contributions and worshipping the prime minister were extremely weak.
They were as silent as dead, but alive so alive.
The fundamental purpose of the Victorious Army is revenge.
