Chapter 1182: The Rise of the Republic – The Beginning of the Collapse
"Hehe, as I expected, the Han people are really unreliable!"
In the city of Lushun Mansion, Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty in the imperial tent, learned that Ma Zhi had raised the anti-flag and set up a formation in the Great Black Mountain, so he actually held on and did not faint again.
Not only did he not get sick, but he also pretended to be calm in front of the gathered generals, chuckled a few times, and really had a bit of a famous general's demeanor.
"Your Majesty," Yelu Yujian, who had just been appointed as the commander of the palace and the imperial camp, said at this time, "Now that the Han army has rebelled, the Bohai people are unpredictable, and the situation is extremely critical, and the army cannot stay in Lushun for a long time. ”
Yelu Yujian is the brother-in-law of Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, who was originally the deputy commander of the imperial camp and was Xiao Wuna's assistant. Because Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna have both been stripped of their official positions, he has been promoted to the commander of the palace and the imperial camp.
"I know!" Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth, "It seems that the peace of the Youzhou Army is a trap!" ”
"Your Majesty."
"Yu Jian," Yanxi said, "You are all deployed, can there be a way to retreat?" ”
"When you retreat." Yu said, "I still have 150,000 troops in our army, and there are no less than 20,000 mounted iron horses. As long as you leave in formation, you will be able to return to the palace with elite soldiers. What can I do with the Ma plant rats? Even the Youzhou army has nothing to be afraid of, our army is multi-horse, Youzhou is mainly an infantry army, and the big tube is heavy and difficult to travel, it is impossible to follow the army in a hurry.
The people who are worried are just more than 10,000 iron horsemen in Youzhou and more than 1,000 beautiful women who help the abuse. ”
It's very atmospheric, but the monarchs and ministers in the imperial tent all know what it means for the armored cavalry of the Youzhou Army and the gundam of the daughter?
If the 150,000 Liao troops fought in formation, perhaps there was no need to fear. However, in the process of retreating, the army can be used for one or two thousand elites, and there is no advantage in numbers.
With the combat power of Youzhou Iron Cavalry and Born Daughter, it is strange that you can't defeat your palace army.
But who dares to say such frustrating words now?
"Who's coming to the queen?" Yelu Yanxi asked.
"The old minister is willing to wear the guilt and make meritorious service!"
It was Xiao Wuna, who had been stripped of his official position, who stepped forward.
"The minister is also willing to be the queen of the army."
Xiao Fengxian also stepped forward. The defeat of the Liaohai Ice Sheet was actually a crime of non-war.
But in the end, it was defeated!
And this battle is obviously the beginning of the collapse of the Great Liao Empire!
The Liao lost more than 36,000 troops in this battle, including 7,000 armored cavalry and 600 daughters Zhikangda.
For a semi-nomadic people with a population of only two or three million, and the maximum mobilization force does not exceed four hundred thousand. The loss of so many elites in one campaign is almost a disaster.
Moreover, Yelu Yanxi's main force is also in a predicament because of this, if it can't escape, then the Great Liao Empire will no longer be a huge empire dominating the northern land in the future......
"Good!" Yelu Yanxi glanced at the short uncle and the white-haired teacher, "I order you two to be the two armies of Flying Bear and Flying Eagle, and lead them to the back of the palace." ”
The two armies of Flying Bear and Flying Eagle are the part of the Liao soldiers who ran back from the ice field.
They are sinners too! If they hadn't run so fast, the Battle of the Icefields might have been fought.
The two armies did not all escape, but only ran away with more than 10,000 people, including regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, but all the armored cavalry was lost in the ice field battlefield because they were transferred by Xiao Fengxian.
Therefore, these two armies are actually very damaged and have no combat effectiveness.
Yelu Yanxi left them, but he lost the car to protect the commander. I want to leave some more troops with full combat effectiveness for myself......
Now, he also knows that the Great Liao Empire has reached the most dangerous time. Next, the entire Tokyo Province may be divided by Youzhou, Shengnuzhi, Bohai people, and Xianzhou Ma family.
The Khitans had to retract to Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road to recuperate.
If Zhao Ji can continue to transfuse blood to the Khitan, at least one of the three steppe tribes of Menggu, Zubu, and Tatar can be bought. Then Liaoguo still has a chance to stabilize the market, and then it will depend on the situation in Tokyo Province......
A Tokyo Road has Youzhou, Nuzhi, Bohai, and Xianzhou Ma family competing in all directions, and there are still opportunities!
"Two Xiao Qing," Yelu Yanxi said, "I will lead my troops north to Hue City tonight." The two of you can unite the army to hold on to Arthur City and its surrounding camps! We must set up more banners and spread suspicious troops, so that the enemy will think that our army is still there, and will not dare to advance north easily.
You don't have to stay for a long time, you just need to keep it for a day and a night, and when the soldiers reach Hue City, you can make a living. Whatever happens to both of you, I am not guilty. If there is a day of meeting, the official can also be reinstated. ”
Even though Yelu Yanxi is not in a thousand ways, he is still very righteous to his henchmen.
He also knew that Er Xiao was waiting to be killed in Lushun City, and if he wanted to die, he had to be a prisoner.
However, the Song, Liao, and Xia dynasties were relatively decent in their treatment of high-ranking prisoners of war. It is impossible to kill the head, and there are many precedents for release.
Wu Haogu will not embarrass Er Xiao, especially Xiao Fengxian - his family should be discussed carefully, and he can also become the patriarch of the Senate of the Republic!
"The Minister's Decree ......"
"The old minister should go to the soup and ......"
When Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna were saluting Yelu Yanxi gratefully, a waiting Langjun ran in outside, panicked, and knew that something was wrong at a glance.
"Your Majesty, I found that tens of thousands of Bohai soldiers and horses are heading in the direction of Hue City!"
"What?"
"Hue City ......"
"Suffered!"
In the big tent, everyone was in an uproar.
Hue City is a place where the army of people can store food! There are millions of stones of wheat and countless amounts of forage. Once lost, Yelu Yanxi's 150,000-strong army would have to retire hungry.
It is 400 miles from the front line of Lushun to Chenzhou! Moreover, the grain stock in Chenzhou City is also limited......
Yelu Yanxi, who was originally quite calm, had a black look in front of him, and seeing that he was about to faint again, he quickly bit his tongue, stimulated his spirit, and barely stabilized.
I can't get dizzy now!
"Who will save Hue from danger?" Yelu Yanxi asked through gritted teeth.
Whoever goes hangs it!
Hue City was far from the front line earlier, and Yelu Yanxi did not deploy heavy troops. Only more than 10,000 guards drawn from the Khitan armies were guarding there.
But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Hue City can still have 20,000 Bohai people!
They were responsible for transporting military rations to supply the Lushun battalion!
And the person in charge of commanding these 20,000 Bohai slaves is Gao Yongchang's younger brother Gao Yongfu.
Although Bohai Nu was only a coolie and was not armed. But it's not like nothing has happened before......
……
Gradually, the wind picked up again. Rolling up snow and dust all over the ground, wrapped in a rampage through Hue City, the thatched roof of the grain stack rustled. The sky gradually became gloomy, and the dark clouds gradually piled up, and the color was not the usual gray and black, but a dark yellow with even a hint of blood.
Guarding the city of Hue was the elderly Yelu Dabei Nu, a veteran who had participated in the battle to pacify Mogus and had led troops on the steppe for a long time. But he is old, and he is in his seventies this year, but he was still entrusted with the important task of Yelu Yanxi as the commander of the rear road, responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the army.
He hadn't slept for almost three days! After learning the news that Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna led their troops south to the Ice Sea, he couldn't sleep.
Because he knew that the two people sent by Yelu Yanxi to lead the troops were unreliable.
This is a decisive battle of gambling life! Why don't you send a unified army that dares to gamble?
Yelu Yu is good, and Xiao Gan is even better if he is here. Why did you send Xiao Wuna, who shook a feather fan to come up with an idea, and Xiao Feng, who was actually a civil official, to go first?
Can the two of them go out and fight hard?
As a result, he really guessed that the 57,000 army was defeated in a battle, losing 40,000,000, and the national fortune of Daliao was also lost by them.
How do you let this old man sleep?
Moreover, the Great Compassion Nu also knew that the Bohai Nu in Hue City was unreliable. They were already unreliable, but now that the general trend has gone, can they still rely on them?
But when the matter came, the Great Compassion Nu was also a little open-minded, and did not dare to order the slaughter of Bohai Nu. Because he was afraid of provoking the Bohai soldiers and horses on the front line and the Han army to rebel.
Moreover, Yelu Yanxi's army also needs these Bohai slaves to carry grain and grass supplies day and night!
If you kill them all, who will do the coolies?
Yelu Dabei Nu looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "Is this a snowstorm?" If His Majesty's army can retreat to Hue City before the blizzard, Daliao will have a glimmer of life! ”
At the same time, Gao Yongchang's brother Gao Yongfu also looked up at the weather, and whispered to the men who were pushing carts and driving mules and horses around them: "There is going to be a heavy snowstorm, this is the Great Bohai Sea with God's help!" As long as we seize the gate of Hue, welcome the army of the Taishi into it, and then burn the grain and grass, the army of Liaogou will be wiped out. ”
As he spoke, he covered his face with a cloth towel to avoid the wind, stepped out of his legs, and walked quickly. The men behind him, all pushing carts and horses, followed closely, and soon arrived outside the south gate of Hue City.
Hue City was originally a small city, and it could not store millions of stone of military rations and countless forages. So just before the Battle of Arthur Province, it was expanded and a huge wooden city was built. There are only two gates in the north and south of the wooden city, which is the main road for grain and grass to enter and exit. Inside the wooden city, there are countless grain stacks and grass piles, which are very easy to ignite.
The south gate was closed, and there were heavily armed Liao soldiers standing on the wooden tower, and one of the officers looked at the men pushing the carts and driving the mules and horses in the city, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?" ”
Gao Yongfu replied in Khitan dialect: "We came from Lushun to send grain and grass to His Majesty, and now we are back. ”
"Taishi has declared martial law in Hue City, and you Bohai people are not allowed to enter."
There was no trace of unhappiness in Gao Yongfu's tone, "We don't enter the city, but the mule and horse carts have to enter the city, right?" It's all military...... According to military law, we have to return it after we use it, and if we don't return it on time, we are all guilty! The general will receive it at the gate of the city, and just open a receipt for us. Please, general, do well, let us pay the errand, so that we can go back to the camp early to strengthen the shack, and the Bodhisattva will bless your old man. ”
