Chapter 464: Unprovoked Attack
In the next few days, Li Yi was not idle, and the letter from home had been sent back by Tuo Lin, which was not a hidden worry, but the year before was also a relatively busy period, and he could not afford to have the slightest leisure.
The common people attach great importance to the Spring Festival, a major festival, and family reunions and visits to relatives and friends must be carried out in this major festival. And this leisure time is rare all year round, so they must be satisfied.
Therefore, Li Yi emphasized this point in the Yunnan executive meeting. It is necessary to fully mobilize the festive atmosphere, provide sufficient supply of market products, stabilize commodity prices, and do a good job of public order. In particular, the widows, lonely and poor people should be provided with adequate food and clothing, so that they can have a warm place to live, and the necessary money should be distributed on time.
As for the bereaved families of the soldiers who died in previous wars, we should not only visit the door one by one before the festival to give Boxing gifts, but also always think about them, so that they can live a prosperous life without the slightest neglect. In short, we must do everything possible to find a way to let the people of Yunnan have a happy and peaceful festival.
Unexpectedly, when the meeting was still going on, there was an emergency military situation from Baoshan Pass, saying that in the early hours of this morning, Baoshan Pass was attacked by thousands of unknown personnel. They were dressed in colorful costumes, decorated with colorful feathers on their heads, armed with scimitars, machetes, and carried rudimentary bows and arrows, but they were skilled in archery.
These barbarians once attacked the head of Baoshan Pass, causing heavy losses to the Yunnan soldiers who bravely resisted, and there are only about 160 people who can still participate in the defense of Baoshan Pass.
Hearing this amazing news, Li Yi was immediately shocked. Last year, Baoshan Pass lowered the level of its garrison, from the heavily garrisoned pass to the level of the Inspection Department, and the garrison had only more than 300 troops. This is also because Baoshan Pass is close to the jurisdiction of Zhenxiong Jiedu, and there is no threat of war, so only a small number of garrisons are left.
Unexpectedly, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Baoshan Pass was inexplicably attacked, and at a glance, he knew that it was done by the barbarians in the surrounding mountains. But where they came from, and what exactly caused this large-scale attack, it was not clear for a while.
But what is urgent is that Baoshan Pass is located in a remote area, and it is fifty miles away from the nearest Xuan County, and Xuan County has no garrison, so it cannot rush to the aid of Baoshan Pass. At present, the most important thing is to immediately send reinforcements to ensure that Baoshan Pass is not broken through by the enemy, so that Yunnan will no longer be affected by the flames of war.
Li Yi immediately issued an order to let Zhang Bo, the defense envoy of Baiwu Pass, which was a hundred miles away from Baoshan Pass, immediately dispatch capable cavalry and quickly rush to the aid of Baoshan Pass. At the same time, let Jian Zheng immediately lead the five hundred elite cavalry of the cavalry battalion to Baoshan Pass at the fastest speed.
And Li Yi will personally lead 200 personal soldiers of the Xuanfu Embassy, as well as 500 Pu Daomen, and then rush there, and Lin Yi and Li Hui will personally arrange logistics supplies.
Now the Yunnan army is much better equipped, just the capture of Dayi Ningguo's war horses has reached nearly 3,000, except for the 300 excellent war horses quietly given to the secret camp, the rest are distributed to the Yunnan army, and even the Pudao battalion is all equipped with war horses, and the mobility ability has been greatly enhanced.
Nearly three hours later, the team led by Li Yi personally rushed to Baoshan Pass, which was closest to the northeast of Yunnan. At this time, the 300 Baiwuguan cavalry led by Zhang Bo and the 500 Ningzhou cavalry led by Jian Zheng all rushed here, and they had already entered the pass and scattered to various places in front of the pass for defense.
By the time Li Yi came to the gate, there was no scene of desperate fighting here, and the enemy had already fled. The site was littered with the remains of dead officers and soldiers and barbarians, scattered across the walls and trenches.
And the inspection of Baoshan Pass, Cao Ning, at the moment with many injuries on his body, leaning on the wall is talking to Jian Zheng in a low voice, seeing Li Yi coming, struggling to get up and salute, Li Yi hurriedly stopped him, leaned over and asked about his injuries and the situation of the surviving officers and soldiers in Baoshan Pass, only then did he know that the desperate offensive and defensive battles just experienced two hours ago, although they barely resisted the crazy attack of the barbarians, but our side also suffered heavy losses. At present, only 50 or 60 officers and men of the Baoshan Pass Inspection Department have survived with wounds, but the rest of the officers and men have all been killed.
After learning about the situation of the rest of his life after the Baoshan Pass disaster, Li Yi was suddenly filled with anger. Where the fuck did this barbarian come out! burning, killing and looting for no reason, even the Han Yunnan pass defense dared to attack, it was really lawless. These more than 200 officers and men must not sacrifice in vain, and they will definitely return blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
But after asking Jian Zheng, Li Yi's heart suddenly cooled in half. According to Jian Zheng, judging from the costumes of these dead barbarians, these people should be the mountain people in the northeast of the Qiqi region, where there are many cottages, the people are fierce, they can kill people without saying a word, and they are extremely aggressive to the outside world.
At present, this area is under the jurisdiction of the Qiqi Kingdom, whose capital is in Zhenning, but there is no clear subordination between them, and even the Qiqi King is not able to control them. Moreover, the internal ethnic composition of the entire Qiqi Kingdom is very complex, including the black barbarians with the same origin as the Liuyi people, and the white barbarians who are similar to the Zhaokua tribe where Dao Hongying is located, as well as a small number of foreign ethnic groups such as the Qiang people and the Di people. However, the largest number is the Sanmiao people, the descendants of the so-called Chiyou, which is also the main foundation that constitutes the kingdom of Qiqi.
Zhang Bo, who had been stationed at Baoshan Pass for a long time and was more familiar with the internal situation of the Qiqi Kingdom, said that the various tribes in the Qiqi region had always been fighting their own wars, and the ethnic contradictions between them were very deep, and they did not take the orders of the Qiqi King into account at all.
Therefore, in the area that the king of Qiqi can actually govern, that is, more than a dozen small towns such as Zhenning, Guangshun, Zhenfeng, and Wangmo, the rest of the surrounding cottage tribes are only symbolically subservient to the king of Qiqi, and usually only pay tribute on time in order to obtain the recognition and protection of the Qiqi Kingdom, but they can rarely mobilize them.
In particular, the largest black barbarian tribe in the north, Nayong, has two towns of Nayong and Shuicheng and the territory of nine caves and eighteen villages, with a population of nearly 70,000, which has already threatened the hegemony of the Qiqi Kingdom. Its leader, Uwe, has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the king of the Moon.
Knowing these situations, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Yunnan, which is attacking the city, should not have any tall walls in this area. But if you have to deal with these mountain people in the caves, it is not so easy to deal with. ()
