Chapter 1180: The Rise of the Republic - Da Liao is still saved
"Defeated! Defeated! Defeated......"
Xiao Fengxian's ears were full of panicked and desolate shouts, as the commander of the Liao army in the battle of the Liaohai Ice Field, he had really done his best. Aside from his lack of decisiveness in the early stages of the roundabout raid, his performance in this campaign was not bad. commanded 56,700 people, and more than 60,000 republican troops, and carried it for seven or eight hours!
The Republican Army has artillery! and also despicable and shameless smashed the ice, causing more than 10,000 Khitan warriors to fall into the water and drown......
Even in such an unfavorable situation, Xiao Fengxian still organized a decisive charge. And it's about to rush to the Huangjiagou Heights.
But who would have thought that the Youzhou Army actually had a trick of firing shotguns at close range.
Everyone is flesh and blood, how can they withstand the shotgun? As soon as I died, it was a large piece, and all of them were blurred with flesh and blood, and some of them were not dead, and they were still rolling and howling in the snow, which was really miserable.
In this way, it is better to fall into the sea and freeze to death and drown.
The Liao army, which was fighting hard at the foot of the Huangjiagou slope, finally collapsed in despair this time, lost their weapons one after another, ran all the way, and ran to the ice again. I didn't line up to defend myself, I just sat on the ice and cried, shouting "defeated, defeated", which was really miserable.
They haven't completely failed, though. Because the gang ran to the ice far from the beach and waited to die, but the ice there was so thin that the Republican infantry and cavalry did not dare to fight there - now the victory was in hand, and it would be a joke to drown thousands.
At the same time, the artillery of the Youzhou Army could not reach them. In these years, the artillery will only hit a few miles, and no matter how far it goes, there is nothing that can be done.
So Ma Zheng and Chen Jian had no choice but to send people to persuade them to surrender.
A Khitan officer named Yelu Qin, who had just been captured, was sent to talk to Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna.
"The two ministers, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian, the generals of the Youzhou Army, said, I don't want our lives. As long as we are willing to surrender ......"
"Descend on what? How could the descendants of Emperor Taizu surrender? ”
Xiao Wuna interrupted Yelu Qin sharply.
"It's not really a surrender," Yeluqin shook his head, "they promised to let us go back after the peace talks......
"Peace talks?"
"Release?"
Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna were a little incredulous.
"The battle is all over this, what else is there to talk about?"
"Did they say the terms of the peace talks?"
"Say," Yelu Qin said, "As long as Youzhou cedes Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Chenzhou, Zhenhaifu, Muzhou, Kaizhou, Dingzhou, Baozhou, Xuanzhou, Haosuguanbu, Yaozhou, Jinzhou, Yanzhou, Xizhou, Laizhou, Qianzhou, Runzhou and other places, we can negotiate peace, return the prisoners of war, and then form an alliance." ”
Such conditions are, of course, deceiving......
Before the working people of Youzhou stepped forward to defend the nascent republican regime, these territories were enough, and even if there were a few fewer states, Wu Haogu would be satisfied.
But now...... In order for more than 200,000 newly recruited poor middle peasants in Youzhou to get 200 mu per person, the Youzhou Republican Government had to swallow as much land as possible.
How can it be just that little? So many poor middle peasants are waiting for the local lord to make money!
However, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian, under the education of the great Confucian martial arts, were both "kind-hearted" and unwilling to make more killings, so they made up such an excuse for peace talks to coax Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna to surrender.
Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna looked at each other.
If the generals of the Youzhou Army did not fool people, this condition would not be unfinished...... In this battle, everyone is trying their best to fight. If you can't beat it, it's God doesn't bless Liao, there is no way. Those Khitan nobles who mistakenly thought that Yelu Yanxi was a faint monarch should have nothing to say.
So what we have to consider now is to preserve a little bit of Khitan vitality. If you can negotiate peace with Youzhou and concentrate your forces to deal with the Wanyan Nuzhi and Meng Gu Hebula in the north, you may be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna, who saw a glimmer of hope, didn't want to die now, so they looked at each other first, and both of them sighed and didn't speak.
The defeat of the army is not the fault of the war. It's really not worth it to take the lives of more than 20,000 Khitan Erlang!
And it's the weather of the first month now, and the ice on the Liao Sea is so old and thick, how cool the water should be...... Not a good season to drown!
But if you are captured and so many people are taken prisoners of Youzhou, even if it is temporary, you will always be sorry for Yelu Yanxi's great kindness.
Just when the two were having a hard time choosing, someone suddenly shouted: "There is a ship on the sea!" It's the fleet ......"
Yelu Qin hurriedly added: "It's the artillery fleet of the Youzhou Army...... The cannon is what we call the big barrel, there are 18 cannons on one boat, a total of 12 gunboats, all of which are moored in the Lushunkou Military Port when the boundary river is frozen!
The two ministers, if you don't let the sons and daughters find a way to survive, those gunboats will open fire and bombard the ice! ”
"It's always impossible to let the old man and Xiao Shumi be arrested!" Xiao Wuna gritted his teeth and put forward the conditions, "Yelu Qin, you go and bring a message to the general of the Youzhou Army, and the old man and Xiao Shumi can bring the conditions and sincerity of peace talks to the Son of Heaven of Liao for him." But he has to let the two of us and more than a thousand guards leave here and return to Lushun Mansion City to talk to the Son of Heaven......"
……
"Okay," Ma Zheng heard Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna's conditions on Da Niu Mountain, and after a little discussion with Chen Jian, he nodded and agreed, "Let them take away a thousand people, and this official swears to Tianli that he will never stop it." However, the other Liao generals had to hand over their weapons and be confined in Lushun until the peace agreement was reached. ”
They were willing to agree to let Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna go, firstly, because they were attacking their hearts.
Of course, it's a hundred times to kill all the enemies, but the problem is that you can't finish killing them! There are millions of Khitans, how can they all be killed? If Ma Zheng and Chen Jian slaughtered 20,000 or 30,000 people on the Liaohai Ice Field, other Khitans might think that the republican army was extremely murderous and fought to the end.
It's better to let some go and let them spread the word about the righteousness of the Republican Army.
Moreover, Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna, these two guys have been defeated in a hundred battles, and it will definitely be more beneficial to the cause of republicanism by Yelu Yanxi's side.
Second, the more than 20,000 Khitan prisoners of war are also very useful. In the Liaodong Peninsula, many projects require labor, and the Khitans are free labor. And on the Yelu Dashi side of Broken Leaf Town, Khitan thugs are also needed.
Wu Haogu and this disciple didn't turn their faces, and there were envoys between the two sides. Yelu Dashi also followed the instructions of Wu Haogu and continued to pursue the line of sinicization and Tianli.
Therefore, Wu Haogu also hopes that Yelu Dashi can be further expanded and strengthened...... However, the population of Yelu Dashi's headquarters is too small, and only a few Hexi Han people can really be relied on as henchmen, and even the Khitan tribe who settled in Qihe cannot be trusted. In Hexi, there are only more than 8,000 Han households in Broken Leaves, and there is only one strong man in each household. For at least fifteen years, there won't be enough thugs to use.
Therefore, Wu Haogu had an idea, after the collapse of the Liao State, send a part of the Khitan people to break the leaves to strengthen the power of Yelu Dashi. Then support Jerodashi to open up to the west and south, and if possible, march into Persia and become a good neighbor with the caliph.
Aren't the Khitans who are now caught by the Lushun Army just right to be sent over?
Even if you can't go to Broken Leaf for the time being, there are many places you can go. For example, Hokkaido, for example, Japan, for example, Sakhalin...... It's very useful, the most important thing is that it's free, and you don't even need much supplies, and people will fight grass valleys themselves!
Third, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian are still holding back a bad thing, and they want to use peace talks as bait to temporarily catch Yelu Yanxi. One more day of fishing, and the chance to completely annihilate Yelu Yanxi's main force will be a little more.
……
Just when Ma Zheng was discussing the terms of surrender with Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna, the more than 10,000 people who had escaped from the ice field had already returned to Lushun Mansion City in tears.
When they arrived in Lushun City, this group of defeated soldiers who escaped from the battle brought super terrible news to Yelu Yanxi and the main force of the Liao army.
The Youzhou military bombarded the ice field with a big cylinder! Most of the 56,700,000 troops fell into the sea and drowned, and they ran back with their legs and feet.
"Drowned, drowned more than 40,000 people...... This is the day to die, my great liao! ”
Yelu Yanxi only felt that his eyes were dark, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out! Then I fainted.
I don't know how long it took, Yelu Yanxi only heard someone shouting "Your Majesty", and the voice was quite familiar, as if it was Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna.
Yelu Yanxi snorted, opened his eyes and looked, sure enough, it was the two of them!
They all cried like a tearful person, it was so pitiful, they must have died too miserably! No, how can you cry when you're dead? Could it be......
Yelu Yanxi thought of a very terrible question, and immediately became a spirit, "I, am I dead?" ”
Hearing this question, Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna were stunned, and even forgot to cry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are living a good ......"
"Yes, you just overworked for the country and fainted."
Tired?
Yelu Yanxi only remembered at this time, "Didn't you say that the ice surface was shattered by the Youzhou thieves with a big cylinder, and my more than 40,000 troops were drowned?" ”
"No, not that much." Xiao Fengxian wiped his tears, "Only more than 10,000 people drowned, and the minister's son Naye was also among them......"
"More than 10,000, then the rest are back?" Yelu Yanxi didn't bother to ask how his son-in-law died.
"Only Chen and Xiao Shumi came back with more than 1,000 people......"
What's the difference between this and being all dead?
"That, that's ......" Yelu Yanxi's eyes darkened, and he was about to faint again.
Xiao Wuna hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is beyond your reach, there are still more than 20,000 people who have not died." ”
"Not dead? Then they ......" Yelu Yanxi looked at Xiao Wuna.
"They were all captured by the Youzhou Army......"
"God, the heavens are dead!" Yelu Yanxi's eyes rolled, and she looked like she was about to die.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is out of reach, Youzhou is willing to negotiate peace with my Daliao." Xiao Wuna hurriedly said, "Da Liao is still saved, and he is still saved!" ”
