Chapter 1185: The Rise of the Republic - There Are No Forever Friends
The biting north wind fell with a goose-feather blizzard, and the dark clouds in the sky were layered on top of each other, completely blocking the moonlight and stars, and the visibility dropped to the point where even a figure ten paces away could not be seen.
The Liao army of the brigade rolled in the thick snow. The short Khitan struggled forward in the thick snow step by step, and some of the war horses stopped getting up when they fell. Soldiers on horseback had no side horses to change horses, so they had to dismount and walk. But how can two legs go more than four legs? Gradually, he could only be left behind by the brigade and walked at the end of the long march.
Death awaits them!
The raw girl Zhen Dangda and the fake knights, who are like hungry tigers walking through the wind and snow, are now following this desperate Liao army brigade. It's been four whole days. At first, he followed cautiously, and only occasionally launched a few rapid and rapid attacks.
However, when this desperate army was frustrated at the city of Hue, and spent a day and a night unable to capture the city occupied by the Bohai people, and had to flee in disarray, the attacks of the Jurchens and the false knights began to become bold.
The wind and snow in the sky do not pose much of a threat to these elites comparable to special forces. Elite, physical strength and ability to endure crying certainly surpass ordinary people. And the scale of their sorties is also small, only 1,500 people in total. As soon as the number of people is small, the logistics will be easier. Everyone was well equipped with warm clothes and hardy Jurchen horses, and of course, high-calorie food and liquor to ward off the cold.
Therefore, the continuous wind and snow weather has become the best cover for them to pursue and attack.
These demon-like warriors rushed out of the wind and snow again and again, constantly creating panic and driving the exhausted Khitan warriors to flee in the snow with a wail.
"Youzhou thieves are here! It's time to give birth to a daughter......"
"Defeated, defeated, defeated......"
The panicked and noisy shouts, one after another, swept forward from the rear of this Khitan army, and the panic became stronger and stronger with this shout.
The exhausted army, dominated by the emotions of fear, moved forward again and again with all its strength in advance.
In order to escape faster, the Khitan soldiers, who did not have much baggage supplies, began to desperately discard supplies to lighten their burdens.
On both sides of the road, all the precious supplies were discarded, carriages, weapons, armor, flags, golden drums, and belongings...... The wounded and weak who are unable to move forward cry and wail in the wind and snow, chanting the Buddha's name and probably trying to surpass themselves......
Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna were still riding on horses, wearing thick fur cloaks, but their hearts were cool and cool. On the way to escape, these two made the grave mistake of not being able to fight again!
When he came out of Arthur City, he did not send elite troops to Hue City. If they did so, this elite army would most likely arrive before Gao Yongchang completely defeated Yelu Dabeinu. But Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna, who were completely panicked, forgot about this stubble at all. When their whole army arrived, they found that the fire in Hue City had been extinguished, and the Bohai soldiers were repairing the damaged city wall with food bags.
Knowing that there was still food in Hue City, Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Vu Na immediately ordered their troops to attack the city, despite the fatigue of the troops marching for more than 70 miles in bad weather. But Gao Yongchang has 60,000 people in his hands! Moreover, the morale is high, the supplies are sufficient, and relying on the city, how can it be defeated by the defeated Khitans in one fight? Besides, the Khitans were not good at attacking cities.
As a result, Mao didn't capture it for two days, and there was no way, so he had to flee in disgrace. This is really a defeat on a defeat, a misery on a tragedy......
As the sky began to light up and the wind and snow slowly stopped, Xiao Urna looked around and saw that the marching procession had become sparse. However, he and Xiao Fengxian still have a lot of personal soldiers around them.
He wiped the ice slag on his eyebrows and beard, and asked tiredly, "How long is it before I get to Ningzhou?" ”
Ningzhou is north of Fuzhou, more than 100 miles from Hue City. The reason why these Liao soldiers did not go to Fuzhou, which was a little closer, was that when they were defeated from Hue, the road to Fuzhou had been cut off by the Jurchen and False Knights.
Therefore, Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna had to go north (Fuzhou is in the northwest direction) and go to Ningzhou.
It's more than 100 miles, it's not easy to walk!
One of Xiao Wuna's cronies replied, "If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, it would have been done in two days." But now the snow is too deep, and the sons are tired, and it would be good to be able to walk twenty or thirty miles a day. I'm afraid it will take three days to get to Ningzhou...... It's good to get to Ningzhou, if there are people in Ningzhou, you can raise food. ”
"Koning Prefecture is a place where Bohai people are the majority!" Xiao Feng on the side interjected first, "If it's not my race, its heart will be different!" Our Great Khitan is just because we believe in other people too much, so we ended up today. ”
Xiao Wuna's answer was just a long sigh.
……
On another road covered with snow, more than 10,000 Bohai infantry were outflanking with two feet, inserting themselves into Fuzhou and Ningzhou.
However, these people are walking fast under the leadership of Pharmacist Guo. What cold, what snow, what fatigue, all of it!
All Bohai Erlang have only one thought in their hearts - to fight to Liaoyang Mansion and build Bohai Kingdom again!
The battle of Hue City can be regarded as turning over these Bohai slaves overnight.
Khitan is nothing more than that!
The army of more than 100,000 was defeated by the 60,000 sons of the Great Bohai Sea and fled north in panic. In the battle of the Liaohai Ice Field, the Youzhou army only defeated the Liao army with the same number as them, and also took the skill of the ice sea shattering.
And the battle of Hue City is a real battle! The Great Bohai Sea defeated the Khitan with one enemy and three (exaggerated). It seems that the old saying "three people in the Bohai Sea become a tiger" is not wrong at all!
The Great Bohai Sea is the master of Tokyo Road!
In terms of blood, there is a mixture of Han Chinese, Bohai people, and mature women really Guo Yaoshi, although he has not closed his eyes for a few days and nights. But at this time, I was extremely excited, and I didn't feel tired at all. He rode a brightly colored war horse that he had stolen from the Khitans and walked at the forefront of the marching procession.
A few rangers who were exploring the way galloped from the front, and only when they arrived in front of Guo Yaoshi did they restrain their horses and report loudly: "Chief Guo, the Liao soldiers in Fuzhou have withdrawn!" The Hao clan surnamed Bohai in Fuzhou City has already taken control of the city, just waiting for us to take over! ”
Guo Yaoshi laughed, pulled out his waist knife, pointed ahead, and yelled: "Forward, enter Fuzhou!" ”
……
Ma Zhi's army of 80,000 also drove to Hue City at this time, and also besieged the city......
The two brothers Gao Yongchang and Gao Yongfu and their more than 40,000 Bohai soldiers were besieged in the city!
This may seem wrong, but it makes sense. Ma Zhi and Gao Yongchang are actually both warlords, and they both fight for themselves.
Gao Yongchang lived in Hue City, and also received hundreds of thousands of stone of grain that had not been burned in the city. In troubled times, this is a huge amount of capital!
With food, we can gather troops, and with soldiers can we fight for hegemony.
Ma Zhi, on the other hand, has soldiers but no food. His 80,000 elite soldiers were not so consumed, and his strength was very strong. It can be said that in the current Tokyo Road, when it comes to military strength, the Youzhou Army and the daughter Zhihou are Ma Zhi's 80,000 elites.
But there are soldiers and no food, and his strength is a bit weak. Wu Haogu could forcibly incorporate his soldiers and horses with an order - because Ma Zhi's qualifications and seniority were too high, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian really couldn't move him, so they didn't mention the matter of integration.
However, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian also borrowed only 2,000 stone flour from Ma Zhi under the pretext of food shortage.
Therefore, Ma Zhi, who has soldiers and no food, is now eyeing Gao Yongchang, who is guarding a big granary, and a lion has opened his mouth to borrow 100,000 stones.
Of course Gao Yongchang refused, he also planned to use these grains to recruit the people of Bohai and the mature girl to fill the army and expand his power.
As a result, Ma Zhi was not afraid of tearing his face, sent troops to besiege the city, and put on a posture of wanting to eat Gao Yongchang.
Gao Yongchang panicked at this time. It's not that he's afraid of Ma Zhi's soldiers, but he knows very well the relationship between Ma Zhi and Wu Haogu - Ma Zhi is also the majority shareholder of the Republic!
"Brother Lianghei, what are you doing here?"
Gao Yongchang hurriedly led people out of the city and negotiated with Ma Zhi in front of the two armies.
Ma Zhi smiled: "If you don't do anything, you just want 100,000 stone of grain, and if you get the grain, a certain family will go to Kaiding, Ding, Xuan, and Bao to occupy a corner." It will not hinder your affairs in the Great Bohai Sea. ”
Gao Yongchang was stunned, "You don't go to Xianzhou and Jinzhou?" ”
"Where is my share in Xianzhou and Jinzhou?" Ma Zhi smiled bitterly, "The republican army is divided into two routes, Liaodong is only one way, and the other road is from Liaoxi, and now it is time to go to Jinzhou, right?" ”
"The four prefectures of Kekai, Ding, Xuan, and Bao are too cramped, and the nearby mountains are full of Jurchens."
Ma Zhi said with a smile: "The Jurchens and Youzhou should also be separated...... If the Jurchens win, a certain family will go west to Liaodong and ask Youzhou for a king of Liaodong. If Youju wins, then the territory of North Goryeo can be owned by a certain family. A certain family's wishful thinking, playing well, right? ”
As he spoke, Ma Zhi glanced at Gao Yongchang and said with a smile: "Master Gao, a certain family knows that you have great ambitions, you just have to do it, the Grand Duke Ding is in the hands of a certain family, and it can't get in the way." However, Hue City is not a place where you should stay, with tens of thousands of stone military rations on your back, let's leave quickly.
And don't touch Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Chenzhou and the Suguan Department, maybe there will be a chance to establish yourself as the king. ”
Gao Yongchang was a little uncertain about the relationship with Youzhou Army, but when Ma Zhi said this, he suddenly realized that he arched his hand and said: "Gao, thank you Brother Liang for mentioning it...... Gao Mou let people transport grain out of the city and hand it over to the good heir.
In the future, our two families will be allies, Gao has a daughter who will be married to Lang Jun, who is a good heir, and our two families will be in-laws in the future. ”
"Good! In a word, "Ma Zhi stroked his palm," and when a certain family settled in the east, he sent someone to Liaoyang Mansion to hire him. ”
