Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Northern Crisis IV
Outside the city of Yizhou in western Liaoning, from a distance, in addition to the city, a black line winds and circles on the white snow field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć info took a closer look, it was one team after another of the Great Liao soldiers and horses.
Weakly walking forward step by step with a spear, there was still a snowfield in front of him. It seems that there is no place for them in the vast world, and they don't know where their next destination will be.
The snow had dyed their hair white, and their hands and faces were already chapped, but they seemed to have lost all consciousness, and only obeyed the general's orders, and moved forward mechanically step by step.
Although the winter in the north was unusually cold, the Great Liao court did not like their army very much. When the Jurchens attacked more than 50 prefectures in Liaodong, the official army of Daliao and the Khitan nobles were defeated one after another, and they were out of control. In order to redeem the defeat, the Great Liao court ordered Yeluchun to be the marshal of the capital and recruit exiled Liaodong refugees in Liaodong to fight against the Jurchens. Yeluchun thought that they resented the Jurchens for destroying their homeland, so he named this army "The Resentful Army!" ā
However, in the first battle of Shenzhou, Liaodong, the resentful army was beaten by the Jin soldiers and lost their armor and fled, so the Great Liao Imperial Court no longer distributed winter clothes to this army. From then on, the resentful army actually resented not the Jin State, but the Liao State - that is, they did not give the horses grazing, and they wanted the horses to run fast! Where in the world is there such a good thing. As a result, the resentful army mutinied everywhere, and the incidents of disturbing the people and robbing houses were endless.
Several soldiers sat with spears in their arms, leaning on their spears and falling asleep, allowing the wind and snow to bury them. In fact, the marching companions knew that they could no longer walk, and that they would soon become corpses as warm as the world. The imperial court did not give food and grass to the resentful army, and did not give winter clothes, and it was really difficult for them to persevere.
At the front of this army, a Han general wrapped in iron armor and velvet took a sideways look at the city, and then said to the guards beside him: "Tell the brothers to stop and rest for a while!" ā
"Yes!!" The guards were ordered to deliver the general's orders.
The general rode a black horse and walked forward a few steps, his old eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a cyan flag rising in front of the city that was incompatible with the black military flag of Daliao. The general, who had been on the battlefield for many years, suddenly understood that Yizhou City here was captured by the Jin army, but why did he lead his army to pass by here but not a single Jin army came out to meet it?
To say that the Jin army wants to ambush its own men and horses is simply nonsense. How strong is the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, although the combat effectiveness of these tired divisions of their own was still extremely considerable in the resentment army before, but now, the combat effectiveness is only minimal, and the ability to protect themselves is insufficient.
At this moment, the sound of horses stepping on the snow field sounded, and the general looked back, and a scout in black iron armor was in high spirits and rushed towards him. This is the authentic Great Liao Forbidden Army, full of energy and not worried about food and clothing.
The scout ran up to the general, saluted him, and said, "All are handsome! Let your department set off immediately, and go straight to Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning) under the stars! ā
The general took the warrant of the scout's mouth, frowned, and muttered: "Withdraw to Yingzhou in the west? Don't you care about Zhongjing's life and death? ā
Then, without waiting for the general's order, the scout turned the horse's head around, and with a wave of his whip, the horse was in pain, and galloped away in the same direction.
The general sighed and said, "Rong'er! ā
As the general spoke, he saw a man riding out of the team, looking like a woman. It's just that he is wearing a white suit, a pair of red phoenix eyes, his face is as cold as a frosty face like a cut of cold plums standing in the ice and snow world, and his tall figure on horseback looks particularly attractive, holding a white tassel spear in his hand, riding in front of the general, saluting the general, and saying: "Daddy, what do you command!" ā
"Order the baggage battalion, and distribute all the grain and grass among the generals to the brethren! Eat it as soon as possible! ā
"Yes!" With that, the woman gave orders backwards.
Soon, smoke rose from the camp, and the resentful army had begun to bury the pot and make food. Dressed in single clothes, the soldiers leaned against the campfire to keep warm.
An hour later, the faces of the soldiers who had eaten were glowing with a new color. The soldiers lined up in a phalanx and looked at the general with gratitude.
The general went up to the soldiers, mounted on his horse, and shouted, "Brothers! The situation of the war has come to this point, and it is beyond our control. It's me Pharmacist Guo who is sorry for you and let you suffer with me! Now, Yizhou City is right in front of us! Just now, the commander scout came to report, there are not many golden soldiers stationed in it, and I want my Changsheng army to capture it! With my 8,000 victorious army, it is enough to take it down! There are those who follow me Guo Pharmacist to go with me, and after the matter is completed, all the property and materials in it will be shared together! If you don't want to continue to follow me, I won't force it! ā
This person is Guo Yaoshi, one of the leaders of the resentful army, and it was her daughter Guo Rong who came to receive the order just now.
"Swear to follow the general!!" As soon as Pharmacist Guo's words fell, a thunderous roar sounded in the team. Now if you don't have a village in front of you, and you can't find a store in the back, where can you go, it's better to follow the general if you capture this city, maybe you can have a full meal.
Pharmacist Guo looked at everyone, nodded, and said, "That's good!" Let's have a good time today. After that, Pharmacist Guo said the deployment he had planned in his heart before, and ordered: "The guard battalion is the first team to attack from the south gate!" The right guard battalion is the second team to take over the siege of the personal guard battalion! The left guard battalion made a feint from the east gate to attract the main force of the Jin army! The avant-garde battalion was hidden at the west gate, and when the fierce battle between the southeast and southeast gates was in full swing, the golden soldiers had no time to take care of it and took the opportunity to attack the city! The guard battalion does not move, ready to go to war at any time! The cavalry battalion is deployed outside the east of the city to stop the Jin people from reinforcing it! ā
"Obey !!" The thunderous roar came again, piercing the eardrums.
At this time, when the Jin army in Yizhou City saw the current situation, he broke out in a cold sweat. Yizhou is not the only way to go to Beijing and go to Zhongjing. After Dajin captured this place, he did not stay too long, and the main force went towards Zhongjing, and the garrison here was only three or four hundred people.
How can these three or four hundred people be able to defeat this overwhelming Liao army. Moreover, these Jin troops were not Jurchens in the first place, but Liao soldiers or official officials who originally surrendered to the Jin State in Yizhou City, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.
At this time, the army called the Changsheng Army had been assembled, and it was lined up in neat phalanxes, pointing to the head of Yizhou City with a spear and striding towards Yizhou City. The sunlight shone on the tip of the spear, and the reflection of the cold light made the eyes ache. The defenders on the walls were already shuddering.
"Daddy! Why did Du Shuai ask us to attack such a worthless city? Regarding Pharmacist Guo's desire to attack Yizhou, Guo Rong seemed very incomprehensible.
Pharmacist Guo shook his head, handed Du Shuai's warrant to Guo Rong, and said, "Look at it! Du Shuai asked us to rush to Yingzhou under the stars. Yizhou went hundreds of miles to Yingzhou, and it was impossible for our soldiers to rush to Yingzhou with hunger and cold. Nowadays, only by looking for supplies from Yizhou City can you rush to Yingzhou! ā
Looking at the warrant given to her by Guo Yaoshi, Guo Rong looked at Guo Yaoshi with a surprised face, and said: "The Jin soldiers have already begun to hit Beijing on both sides, but Du Shuai told us to withdraw west to Yingzhou at this time!" Does he not care whether Zhongjing lives or dies? ā
Pharmacist Guo shook his head with a smile and did not speak. There are many things, he doesn't want Guo Rong to understand.
Before the Chang Shengjun with spears walked to the city of Yizhou, he saw that the suspension bridge of the gate of Yizhou was slowly lowered, and then, he saw that one after another cyan golden army flags on the city wall were thrown down.
"Look, General!"
Guo Yaoshi looked at this change on the city wall inexplicably, and originally thought that Yizhou should not be too difficult to be captured, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. The soldiers who surrendered without a fight frightened them.
Since Du Shuai told them to withdraw to Yingzhou in the west, and even Zhongjing didn't want to take care of it, then he definitely wouldn't care about Yizhou, a small city. So, with the connivance of Guo Yaoshi, Chang Sheng's army plundered Yizhou, and black smoke rose in the city. The people of the city fled in terror, screaming in terror.
The soldiers of the Victorious Army were as excited as beasts that had just been released from their cages. In these troubled times, whenever he saw a girl from a good family, he immediately rushed up and hugged him into a private house, stripped naked for "personal protection".
I think that at the beginning, even if he was as arrogant as the Jin soldiers, after the Yizhou assassin asked for surrender, the Jin soldiers did not enter the city to spoil this land, but I didn't expect that now they have received the ruin of the "official army" of Daliao, and the people's resentment is boiling!
