"Dari Achi, are you talking nonsense?" Another general sneered disdainfully: "Now everyone knows that the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei is like a big whirlpool in the Naowen River, and people who fall down will be swept into the bottom of the river, and they can't even be saved." If we intervene in it, how do you know that you won't be attacked by the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Army, and the Jurchens? We have no advantage over any of them, and you want to bring our warriors to their deaths? ”

"Goldie, you fart, how could I do that? They are all my relatives and friends! That Goldie was obviously very bad, and the five-short Dari Achi buttoned such a big hat, and was immediately furious: "Although there are many of them, they are all rabble, and a charge from the elite warriors under our command is enough to scatter them!" They are sheep, and we, the wolves of the steppe! Have you ever seen a pack of wolves that are afraid of sheep? No matter how many of those sheep are! ”

"But these sheep will build strong walls, do you want our knights to take their swords and cut them down?"

Goldie suddenly retorted.

Ozhilehoke spoke: "But there are countless gold and silver treasures in the sheepfold, and the wealth of the Han people is immeasurable, and those bandits of the White Lotus Sect have occupied a Tashanwei, and they are already fat and don't want to leave, if we don't hurry up again, I'm afraid that others will eat meat, and we won't even be able to drink the broth." ”

So it caused another controversy, and it was even mixed with quite bad abuse, and even a few people had developed to the point of having a fight outside the tent.

Ha Fu's face became more and more ugly.

The reason for this situation has to start with this morning.

Since he decided that he wanted to intervene in the war situation in the territory of the general of Liaobei, he assigned Liang Yanqiu to install a large number of fine works in the territory of the general of Liaobei - the Mongols thought that they were good at this. When Genghis Khan led a large army to conquer the south and sweep the north, his subordinates had countless detailed services to collect intelligence, even if they were later driven back to the desert. I didn't leave this ability behind, and I planted a lot of fine works on the nine sides, so that every time I entered the Kou, I could choose the best route - these fine works were all over the place. Especially on the east bank of the Naowen River, there are even a lot of fine works that have already been mixed into the White Lotus Sect, so they can quickly pass on the news.

On the third day of the White Lotus Sect's defeat of Tashanwei, the details hidden in it sent the news back, and they focused on describing not the strategic significance of the battle, but the countless gold and silver treasures, strategic materials, and a large number of Han slaves like lambs to be slaughtered.

After this news spread, it immediately detonated the entire high-level of Fuyuwei.

The rich land of the Han people in the east. It has long made them salivate, but the Ming Dynasty specially set up a general from Liaobei to prevent Duoyan Sanwei from entering the northeast of Kou, and it is not an ornament, Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei have repeatedly raised troops to invade the east, and they have to fight a few battles to get in. And even if you go in, you have to retreat after plundering, because the local Ming power is deep-rooted, so it is impossible to turn it into your own permanent territory. Even the last time he sent troops to besiege Zhenyuanfu, it was also from the north of the territory of the general of Liaobei. You can't enter with a swagger.

And this time, the Jurchens invaded the south, and the territory of the Han people was in turmoil with the White Lotus Sect, which can be said to be internal and external troubles. In dire straits, the defense of the Mongols to the west immediately fell to the lowest point ever. These high-ranking members of Fu Yuwei are not stupid and immediately realized. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, more than a month ago. There is already a voice to send troops to intervene in this war and turn themselves into big winners.

But Ha Bu and Liang Yanqiu were worried about Wu Yijun. It is to suppress these voices all the time, only saying that the time has not come, and wait, wait, wait.

But this kind of suppression is like pressing a spring, the harder you push, the easier it is to provoke a rebound, and once it rebounds, the force is quite terrifying.

And after reaching a critical point, it can no longer be suppressed.

And now, it has almost reached a critical point, and it has been suppressed for a whole month, and it is already because of the extremely high prestige of Ha Bu.

After hearing the news that Tashanwei had been breached, a considerable number of high-level nobles immediately couldn't hold back.

Their reasons are also very good - if we had sent troops earlier, let alone a mere Tashan guard, even if more land had been plundered, how many gold and silver treasures, silk and silk would have been in these breached cities, and how many more Han slaves would have been in each nobleman's house!

For the high-level of Fu Yuwei, they are not responsible for the world but more like a high-level group of armed plunder, and what they value more is the gains from the war. If those Han cities that used to have heavy defenses were like hedgehogs, now this hedgehog has spread its body, revealing its soft and fat belly.

So of course, these high-ranking nobles came to Ha and asked for troops to intervene in the war immediately.

And there are also some people who support the idea, so after a few words, these people quarreled.

Now the generals under his command seem to be divided into two factions, one faction supports sending troops now, and the other faction chooses to continue to wait and see. It's just that the vast majority of those who support the immediate dispatch of troops are obviously among them, and there are only 14 high-level people in the big tent who support continuing to wait and see.

Although he is a great khan, the Mongol Han is far worse than the Han emperor in terms of power, and Emperor Zhengde still makes those civil officials angry at every turn, and he must not ignore the opinions of these generals.

The noise below became more and more unpleasant, and the foul language was endless, and suddenly he slapped the armrest, made a loud noise, and roared: "Shut up for me!" ”

The people below suddenly fell silent, and all their eyes were focused on Ha Bu.

Ha Bu furrowed his brows and looked at Hairi Chagai: "What do you say?" ”

Hairi Chagai is both his son, the recognized next Great Khan, and the helmsman of the future Fu Yuwei. He is also the most important general lord under his command, and this time he is the leader of the main battle faction.

Hairi Chagai strode out of the ranks. Said proudly: "Back to the words of my father Khan, it seems to me." We should march eastward now, occupy the land of those Han people, turn them into our slaves, enjoy their wives and daughters, and take their silk and silk silks, gold and silver treasures for ourselves! ”

He looked around in the big tent, his eyes stabbed Liang Yanqiu provocatively in the face, and said loudly: "Father Khan." I would like to be a vanguard general! Be the first to cross the river and fight! ”

He has been in the top position for a long time, tall and tall, walking with dragons and tigers, with a loud voice, and has a rebellious and fierce temperament, and has a high prestige among the generals, plus the scene described in the words is also excellent, which immediately provoked everyone to second. And because of the prestige of Hairi Chagai, those few advocates of wait-and-see looked at each other. didn't dare to refute, and his momentum suddenly weakened.

When he heard what his eldest son said, his eyes flashed, and he had to admit it. I was really excited.

Go out of the prairie and reoccupy the fat lands of the Han people, turning them into their own slaves. Humiliate their wives and daughters, and take possession of everything they have - just as the great Genghis Khan did hundreds of years ago.

I always think about it. I didn't feel that the blood in my body seemed to be boiling, and my face became flushed. Because he was so excited, the whole person was a little trembling.

Moreover, after occupying the vast and fertile territory of the Liaobei generals, a more realistic significance is that the strength of Fuyuwei will rise greatly because of this. It is precisely because of the hard work of those Han people in Bansheng City presided over by Liang Yanqiu that Fuyuwei has enough food for people and livestock to eat even if it is wintered every year, so that they no longer have to be affected by the white and black disasters, and they do not have to spend a lot of vitality in the cold winter and natural disasters in the grassland every year, so that the power of Fuyuwei continues to expand, and finally from being on a par with Tainingwei and Duoyanwei to far surpassing them.

And once he has the thousands of miles of fertile fields under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei and the most backed by millions of Han slaves, then Fu Yuwei's strength will be increased tenfold and hundredfold, and it will be easy to deal with Duoyanwei and Tainingwei again. And once these two guards are annexed, then Fuyuwei will not be in the same position as it is now.

When the time comes, you can even plot the world!

I don't dare to think about it anymore.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and turned his head to look at Liang Yanqiu.

When he saw Ha Bu's eyes, which were still extremely hot despite being disguised, Liang Yanqiu sighed deeply in his heart.

With his understanding of Ha Bu, how can he not see it, Ha Bu is already moved. And he has always been extremely assertive, even if he is his military advisor, it is unlikely that he will be able to shake his mind.

And this time everyone came to be willing, and the color of dissatisfaction was overflowing, they thought that it was Ha Bu's hesitation that caused them to lose a great opportunity and lose a lot of wealth, but of course they didn't dare to spread their anger on Ha Bu, so all the spearheads were pointed at Liang Yanqiu, who was a strategist.

Liang Yanqiu also couldn't say what he was suffering about, so he had to suffer. He knows very well in his heart that now everyone has opinions about himself, and if he continues to oppose it at this time, not only will it not work, but he will also put himself in it.

He sighed deeply, and it was better to push the boat with the current.

Liang Yanqiu smiled slightly: "Great Khan, the minister thinks that now is also the time to send troops." ”

Everyone was a little stunned, and then let Liang Yanqiu continue: "I couldn't send troops before, because the situation was unclear, but now the situation is generally clear, the White Lotus Sect has just captured Tashanwei, and it is entangled in affairs, and it is impossible to make any moves in a short period of time. And Amin's army and the Liaobei generals are facing each other, and no one has the strength to attack us. ”

He sneered: "That Wu Yijun is still slow to intervene, presumably Lian Zining is also the idea of reaping the benefits, but he has been waiting for too long." Our surprise soldiers are outstanding, and we caught him off guard, and by the time they reacted, it was already too late! Let's take advantage of the benefits! ”

This analysis is much more convincing than the simple clamor of those generals. At that moment, a group of generals nodded one after another, and the master of the Liandao military division was really a chess master, which was not comparable to ordinary people.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Hairi Chagai's eyes. was forcibly suppressed by him.

I can't finish listening to Liang Yanqiu's words. He didn't hesitate anymore and shouted: "Pass the order." Gather the army, before dark. I want to see at least 50,000 of the most elite warriors! ”

"Yes!" The generals agreed.

On April 12, the 53rd year of Zhengde, the Great Khan of Fuyuwei did not come out, and 60,000 elites in the clan crossed the Naowen River and killed the territory of the general of Liaobei.

Fu Yuwei finally couldn't resist the temptation and plunged headlong into this big whirlpool.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Ali Zhiwei.

This city is an important town in the central part of the territory of the general of Liaobei, and to the north is Tunhewei, Wutunhewei, and Jiahewei. Suwen Hewei, Namu Hewei; To the east is the Delunwei, the dewarming place of the vultures, and the ground of the Afan; To the south, there are Tashanwei, Mulan Hewei, Duolunwei, Mulun River ground, etc.; To the west, there are the vultures, the guards, the right guards, and so on.

It can be said that Ali Zhiwei is the most geographically central city in the territory of the general of Liaobei, and if he controls this, he controls the west of the Towen River. The width of the east and west of the Tongjiang River has reached more than 500 li, and the length of the north and south has reached 600 li. You know, according to the latest household registration statistics of Zhengde for 50 years, in this land. Eight cities, more than seventy towns, countless villages. There are more than 260,000 households living in the Ming Dynasty, and the cultivated land area exceeds 14 million mu. This fertile land. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the land is fertile. The output is abundant, and when he occupies this place, he almost controls the entire northern region of the Liaobei General's territory.

It has always been a battleground for soldiers.

Now, the status of this place has become even more important.

Because in Alizhiwei to the west, another 200 miles, the fast horse gallop about half a day's work can reach the Wuzhewei, the former capital of the Liaobei general's territory, now the last reliance of the Ming officers and soldiers. In the western part of the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, from south to north, there are the guards of the Vultures, the right guards of the Vultures, the guards of the Vultures, and the guards of Tashan, almost in a straight line, and the guards of Ali have become the last line of defense in front of these cities.

If Yang Xuezhong doesn't want his lair to be besieged, he must defend Ali's guard.

In fact, that's exactly what he did.

A few months ago, Amin led the army south, almost all the way to the ground, invincible, until the Ming officers and soldiers in Ali Zhiwei to stop it, and Ali Zhiwei has more than 100,000 Ming troops, Yang Xuezhong even issued a strict order, those who retreat die, it is a battle against the water, and it bursts out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

After all, the number of Jurchens is smaller, and its elite combat effectiveness has been weakened to the minimum in the siege war, so after several unsuccessful sieges, they realized that Ali Zhiwei is not also a bone to gnaw, so it is simply not to attack the city, but to drive the Han slave soldiers and plundered slaves to build a long trench and camp outside the city, and besiege it to death, so that the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Ali Zhiwei are lucky to survive, but they are also waiting to die.

The Jurchens only left 10,000 troops to keep an eye on the Ming army in the city, and the other troops attacked from all sides, attacking the city everywhere, and had already conquered the Wuzhi Zuowei, Wudehansuo, Zhenhewei, Namuhewei and other places located in the north, and even the soldiers once reached the Fuyuwei further north, almost close to the Alunwei, Michenwei, and Mulijiwei where the Wara Mongol tribes were located, plus the Jiahewei and Wutunhewei, which were originally occupied by them, also occupied about 30% of the ground under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, forming a southeast― It is a long and narrow area of influence that runs northwest and reaches more than 1,000 miles in length.

The most pitiful is the Ming border army.

In the struggle between small towns and villages, it can be said that the White Lotus Sect has completely occupied the absolute upper hand, while the Ming army is fully shrinking, sticking to the city, and the territory is only left with the Vultures, the Vultures, the Right Guards, the Tashanwei and other big cities, but although the territory is small, the troops are still those, and it is because the area that needs to be protected is small, so that their combat effectiveness is actually soaring.

Therefore, among the three parties, although the territory of the White Lotus Sect is the largest, it has the worst combat power, and the Ming army is second, and the strongest is naturally the Jurchens.

The city wall made of large bluestone mixed with fired blue bricks and rammed earth was originally known for its tall and sturdy, full five zhang high, and the thickness reached six zhang, or even exceeded the height. This also turned this thick city wall into an insurmountable moat, lying in front of the Jurchen army.

The width of the walls reached this level, not only did it allow for the accumulation of more troops on the walls, which was more conducive to the defense of the army, but more importantly, it made the walls extremely stable. All kinds of siege methods, such as digging tunnels, or the kind of tricks that the White Lotus Sect played in Tashanwei, are not very easy to use here.

It can only be filled with an appointment.

But at this moment, the thick city wall is also mottled, countless traces of sword cutting are left on it, and many sections of the city wall have turned into a terrifying ochre red, and the patches of dark red are left by too much blood poured here. A strong smell of blood lingered, and the flies and mosquitoes smelled it, and they all fell down and began their feast. In some of the most fierce battles in the city walls, the city walls were even damaged, and the female walls were damaged in many places.

Under the city walls, countless corpses were piled up, and those corpses were even stacked one or two feet high, becoming a terrifying mountain of corpses. Moreover, the scale of this corpse mountain is really not small, there are hundreds of meters on both sides of the east gate and the north gate of the city wall, and they are all piled up with corpses. Even the caves in the north and east gates have been filled with corpses, and the people in the city are dreaming of it.

How many people would have to die in such a terrifying corpse mountain to have such a scale?

This alone can also show the horror of this big war, which is like a meat grinder.

The corpses smelled of disgusting, and there was no fighting, but it was noon, and the cauldron was lined up at the head of the city, and there was a burst of aroma from it. The soldiers of the Ming army lined up, fought by the pot and retracted to the position they wanted to defend, and swallowed it in large gulps. The aroma of the food mixed with the stench of corpses is extremely weird, and it must be difficult to swallow if it is an ordinary person, but these Ming soldiers are obviously used to it, and they eat extremely sweet.

The smell is not a problem, but the problem is that living in this kind of corpse-smelling environment for a long time will not only affect the health of the body, but also in the long run, the corpse will decompose, and it is extremely easy to produce plague.

At that time, it will be a catastrophe that cannot be suppressed.

Especially now that the temperature is rising, it is spring.

But the Ming army really has no choice, it's not that they don't want to clean up those corpses, as those generals who have fought for so many years, how can they not know how powerful they are? But the Ming army really had no strength.

The brutal battle for the defense of the Ari has been going on for a whole month, and during this month, at least twenty-six days have been spent fighting, with little time to rest. The commander of the Jurchens almost made it clear that he would use his life to win a victory, and even the Ming defenders in the city did not expect that under such a cruel battle, they would survive!

Under the strict order that Yang Xuezhong took a step back and was punished as a deserter, not only the perpetrator was beheaded, but also his family was suffered, and these Ming troops, which were originally quite limited in combat effectiveness, burst out with extremely strong strength. If the capture of the city wall is considered a victory, then the Jurchens have won at least ten times, but each time the Ming army recaptured the city with a desperate counter-charge and drove these Jurchen Tartars down.

In successive fierce battles, the Jurchens lost at least more than 60,000 casualties, and the Ming army in the city was reduced from 80,000 at the beginning to less than 30,000 capable soldiers, and many of them fought with wounds. At a glance, there were many wounded soldiers on the city wall. As a defensive side, they will even be beaten to a battle loss ratio of close to 1 to 1, and it has to be said that their strength is really limited.

The food in the city is quite sufficient, and the supplies are still abundant, but the physical strength and morale of the soldiers have really reached a critical value. They walked one by one, as if they were walking corpses, without their own spirits.

After a series of fierce battles, watching the robes and friends around him die one by one, I don't know which day it will be their turn - and what makes them even more hopeless is that Yang Xuezhong is guarding the vultures, and a strict death order floats over like snowflakes, just ordering to hold on, but not sending a single reinforcement.

The whole city looked like a girl who had been bombarded by gangsters for a whole night, covered in bruises and covered in blood and dirt. (To be continued.) )
