Volume VII "The Comeback" Chapter 258: Guns and Arrows
There are many wars in Liaodi, and more than 20 national tribes of all sizes participate in the war, starting from the Wumu grassland in the west; east to Songjiang River; There is the Heilongjiang Plain in the north; Panshan and Liaoyang in the south. The population involved in the war www.biquge.info more than 5 million, the total war area includes the entire Liao region, and the 6,000-mile road is mostly iron and blood, and thousands of corpses are lying on the ground.
Because of the sudden appearance of a person, brought endless death to this world, after incomplete statistics, in just two years, many tribes outside the Han State lost their clan names, the original small-scale military friction and mutual fighting turned into a big war, the indirect or direct death of the population in the war should be nearly a million people, and hundreds of thousands of people were driven around by the newly rising tribes to wander around with nowhere to stay.
In the early years, the Han State was repeatedly bullied and bullied by nomads outside the Saiwai Dynasty, and at most only a few counties were affected by the war, and the number of dead and wounded and exiled was only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and only skin and flesh were injured, but since that person appeared, things have changed.
He brought war to the world, one after another did not stop the great war to wipe out the Qiang people who were originally entrenched on the edge of Heshuo, many times coldly ordered to kill prisoners, and ordered thousands of nearly thousands of heads to land, he became the mortal enemy of the Qiang people, one of the strongest tribes of this era.
He was not respectful, and he snatched back the captive Han and the princess from the Huns, and after snatching it back, he didn't know the number of courtesies and did not respect the humility, and took the princess to fight hundreds of miles in the grassland, all the way to let the princess suffer from the sand and dust outside the fortress, and lost the grace that a princess of a big country should have.
People who have no sense of class, he disregards the dissuasion of his princess. Clashes broke out between Yu Xihe and the Han army who came to protect the princess, and the two armies fought for a morning, with thousands of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides. so that they were called rebellious.
The cavalry from outside the Saiwai attacked, the Han army was defeated, he did not recognize his predicament and led all his troops to flank, and exchanged more than half of his own casualties for a temporary respite......
Thousands of miles to attack Xianbei and Wuhuan......
Attack Heshuo with a hundred tired soldiers......
In the end, he had to lead his followers to the bitter cold of Liaodi, hoping to get some respite, and the expectation was always accompanied by disappointment, and he was depressed to find that the deformed tribe could not be quiet at all. Once he is quiet and inactive, he will face a crisis inside, and he can only find a way to channel the internal pressure outward, so as not to trap himself in the stove and be scorched.
Deformed tribes. She has no cultural foundation, sixty percent of the people only know how to play with swords and guns, and if there is no war, it seems that they don't know how to live, and the people who are blended and gathered still have the nature of nomads. Legacy of original hatred and disputes. As a result, foreign wars are quelled, and internal vendettas continue.
He originally thought that the creation of a set of laws to restrain could help, but unfortunately the distant water could not save the near fire, according to the current situation at that time, the law had not yet been established, if only relying on the iron and blood bullet pressure, the emerging tribe would sooner or later be divided again due to indelible internal contradictions.
- Sometimes prestige isn't everything!
Well, he sent the contradictory subordinates to various places in batches to settle down, and the problems of the subordinates eased the pressure of the army a little but immediately forced it, and the warlike generals asked all the time, "When will the Wuhuan be destroyed?" "On the side of the couch. Do you not allow others to sleep soundly! "Only by occupying the entire Liao land can our people have a place to live", as the supreme commander of the army. He was happy to see that the generals were eager to fight, and internal pressure forced them to consider whether or not to go to war.
After a winter of lurking, war broke out without incident!
Taking advantage of a short winter, he risked defeating Xianbei and forcing Xianbei to move further north to the cold land, lamely forcing the Wuhuan Ju clan, who were about to be wiped out, to defect to Fuyu, who had been entrenched in Liao for hundreds of years, with a strong and victorious army. He raised his sword and roared cautiously at the traditional power of Liaodi, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians embarked on the journey, fighting people in the continuous mountains and barren and dangerous jungles.
"Must fight! It has too much wealth that it does not know to exploit, and only by defeating it, occupying it, and possessing its minerals can we have the capital to enrich the country and strengthen the army, accumulate strength, and wait for the day when it becomes strong. β
The Black Flag Army struggled through the jungle, enduring the terrain and cunning enemies before one day standing in front of the Shoshen King's City.
After the Tiger Army defeated Xianbei, they crossed the Great Khing'an Mountains non-stop, and it took a long time to reach the Heilongjiang Plain, where they encountered the Caucasian people entrenched in the Heilongjiang Plain, and the two sides broke out a series of major battles, and the Tiger Army relied on the strength of the army to defeat the Caucasian tribe and gain control of the plain.
Chen Xi left the necessary defensive forces and immediately turned south, killing all the way from the Heilongjiang Plain, killing people and slaughtering villages, striving not to leak the marching route, and finally attacking Snake Lake (Jingpo Lake) with the Black Flag Army to form a strategic deployment of front and rear flanking attacks.
When the appointed date arrived, the Black Flag Army and the Tiger Army launched a general attack!
The defenders of the Sushen Wangcheng had already been shot by the arrows of the Black Flag Army and had no temper, and the soldiers under the command of the Black Flag Army were absolutely elite soldiers, and the humble Sushen Wangcheng only held on for two days before the city was broken, and the Sushen defenders retreated to the streets, and the Beiwo army that supported the Sushen fled without a fight.
The Beiwo army that wanted to retreat to the mainland retreated to the south of Snake Lake (Jingpo Lake) thirty miles below the encounter with the tiger army, and there was an encounter on the flat land near Yanji City in the later generations, and the short battle of the Beiwo infantry army was defeated by the tiger army and was immediately defeated, and the Beiwo army abandoned the broken rear army and fled to the Heyu Mountains, and the 50,000 expeditionary force fled back to the homeland under the relentless pursuit of the tiger army, less than 20,000 people.
The battle of Sushen, which lasted three months, ended with the Black Flag Army conquering the Sushen Wangcheng and capturing the Sushen Wangcheng and declaring victory. At the same time, Meng Zhao sent people to escort Su Shen Wang Xiang Ya Yan to Xilin to congratulate him on the achievement of destroying the country.
The battle of Su Shen came to an end, but everything was not over yet, because Lin Bin was not in Xilin, the defending Han Anguo could not easily make a decision, and the two armies with super combat power were left in the place of Su Shen to rest, and the lord of Su Shen was gone. The revolt of the cautious people continues.
When Meng Zhao realized that he could not consolidate his rule by slaughter alone, he urgently wrote a letter and asked Xilin to consider changing its strategy and carry out a policy of suppressing and appeasing at the same time. Minimize unnecessary killings as much as possible and reassure the indigenous people. Defeating her does not necessarily mean possessing her, this realization is basic common sense in later generations, and the fear of the military top brass is not that the army will be fighting between the legions, but that the army will be exhausted under constant harassment, and it will be very difficult to deal with new emergencies.
Chen Xi opposed the adoption of benevolence towards the prudent people, and he advocated the killing of all the prudent people who resisted. Kill until no one dares to resist anymore. Before Xilin could react, he did something that caused a sensation in Liaodi, and captured the Su Shen people. Whether it was soldiers or civilians, more than 50,000 prudent and strong people were collectively killed, and disobedient women, children, old and young were sentenced to death.
Since then...... Meng Zhao and Chen Xi had a policy dispute, and the two blamed each other.
Meng Zhao pointed at Chen Xi's nose and scolded: "People are slaughtered." Atrocious! β
Chen Xi replied lukewarmly: "So weak! Only kills enemies. Kill them all! β
It was very strange, the two commanders blamed each other, the knives in the hands of the two armies were not idle, and the sergeants and soldiers tended to rule the world by killing.
Under the murderous sky, the resistance of the Su Shen people became weak after the incident of the pit killing, and more and more Su Shen people fled from the place of Su Shen, and the Su Shen people who were chased by the soldiers of the two armies did not dare to resist, and let them be tied up and driven away.
One day, Chen Xi took the initiative to find Meng Zhao. He smiled and said to Meng Zhao, "Now you can perform appeasement." β
Meng Zhao was stunned for a long time, apologized again and again, and said: "No wonder the king values you so much. β
Chen Xi became humble and polite: "It's not my credit." The king said in advance, "Dongyi people have no country and no race, they can only be educated with iron and blood, and if they are treated with benevolence and righteousness, it can only be counterproductive", Xi is convinced that only killing can make such a barbarian race obey, and he is willing to fight for the sword in the hands of the king, kill all the people who do not obey the education, in exchange for the prosperity of our race. β
Meng Zhao said sullenly: "Don't say that I'm not from Qin? β
Chen Xi was extremely shameless: "Of course not, we are all Han generals, so we are naturally Han." But well...... There is a leader who still considers himself a Qin person, but he has suffered a lot recently. β
Meng Zhao was speechless, he knew that Chen Xi was talking about Lu Yan, and he was silent for a long time: "That's true, since we are already generals of the Han Dynasty, there is really no need to distinguish between the so-called Qin people, grassland people, or who they are, we should be named after the Han people." β
Lu Yan is indeed unlucky, and he is the kind that is unlucky to go home. He was blocked from advancing in Panguan, and under the successive hard battles, only the elite led by Zhang He attacked the Panguan city wall once, and the rest of the new infantry army attacked for three days in a row and ended in failure.
The siege army was demoralized, and the sergeants were not from the Central Plains, but the steppe people who were accustomed to obedience, and if it weren't for this, they would have mutinied a long time ago. Of course, Lu Yan knew this very well, he understood why the morale of the soldiers under his command was low and there was no mutiny, those people were originally slaves, and the slaves did not have the power and courage to speak and resist orders in the grassland, as long as they kept their food, they would not have as many emotions as the Central Plains army.
Lu Yan himself said that it was precisely because of this kind of submissive army that he dared to attack all the time, but the dilemma of not being able to overcome it for a few days was interrupted by the 30,000 troops who came to reinforce Wei's Korea. Knowing that it would be useless to attack the flanks and that there was a danger of being cut off, he gave up the assault and retreated to the city with more than 40,000 remnants and thousands of corpses before leaving the pass.
"I became the first commander of the Han tribe to defeat the battle!!"
Angry, depressed, depressed......
All kinds of negative emotions When he heard that the Jiahe Leopard Army had conquered Wangping City and Houcheng City of Wei's North Korea, and had entered Liaoyang City, an important military town in Liaodong of Wei's North Korea, with a victorious momentum, he was so depressed that he fell ill, and in his coma, he still did not forget to mutter bitter words such as "The king harmed me", "The king gave the benefits to Jiahe", "My heart hurts" and so on.
LΓΌ Yan's attack of more than 120,000 troops of the Western Route Army was completely stagnant, and Wei Da, the chief general of Wei's Korea, desperately strengthened the city under the pressure of Weida, and Wei Da also allocated 20,000 troops under his command from the dangerous city to support Mengchen, the general of the North Road in Liaoyang City, so that even Jiahe's offensive was frustrated, and the Leopard Army was blocked in Liaoyang and could not quickly complete the strategic intention of dividing Wei's Korean territory.
Compared with the army under the command of Lu Yan, the Leopard Army is also an army that is not good at attacking cities, and he was taken aback when Jiahe tried several times to find out that there were at least 120,000 defenders in Liaoyang City, he didn't know that Lu Yan was blocked in Black Mountain, dangerous, and unable to advance on the front line of Panshan, and he didn't know the fact that Lu Yan was sick under depression, so he chose to besiege but not attack, and waited for the decision of Lu Yan's West Route Army.
The two commanders who were responsible for attacking Wei's Korea, one of them was very tough, the other was overly cautious, and it was doomed that the war between the Han and Wei Koreans would not go well this spring.
Wei Meng, who was far away in Wang Jiancheng, jumped up from the throne when he received the good news from the front, and he ignored the fact that he lost hundreds of miles of land west of Liaodong, more than 200 miles of plains north of Liaodong, Wangping City, and Houcheng without a fight, and danced with his hands: "Good! Very good! Block the brutal army of the Han Department in Liaodong, and wait for our national mobilization, and in the coming year, we will gather millions of male soldiers to drive the tyrant Lin Bin of the Han Department out of Liaodi, and only my clan and my country will enjoy Liaodi! β
Wei's 100 officials in North Korea celebrated, and played Wei Meng to reward the meritorious ministers, especially Wei Ji, who had been dealing with Lin Bin last winter.
"Hmm...... Uncle (Wei Ji) made great achievements and the praying mantis caught cicadas and yellow finches, and generally brought back the Han princess and others who had been robbed by the Huns, which should be rewarded! However, this is a time of great controversy, should we first reward the generals who have made meritorious contributions on the front line? β
Hundreds of officials are respectful and good......
Wei Meng seemed to remember something, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "This king has a plan for the ministers to discuss. He glanced at Wei Ji, who had a displeased expression, "Uncle Clan skillfully brought back the Han princess and made great contributions, and no one will forget it...... However, the princess of Dahan should be used when she brought it back, and the uncle said how to use it? β
Wei Ji was really unhappy in his heart, he didn't deliberately act, and said bluntly: "I can order someone to sue the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and Lin Bin respectively, if Lin Bin knows that the princess is in my hands, he must be cautious, after all, the princess is missing in his territory, and if he doesn't want to offend the Han Kingdom, he must redeem it; The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty knows that the princess is in my hands, and he will definitely anger Lin Bin and make him further evil. So...... Once this happens, my lord can watch the war between the Han and the Han from afar, and both will be defeated. My lord is ready for war, and he will return the princess to the Han Kingdom to show friendship, and the Han Kingdom only wants face and will not swallow my Liaodi, and destroy Lin Bin, my lord can enjoy the Liaodi alone! β
Wei Meng was overjoyed and relieved: "Just do it!" β
Wei Joseon, who retained the customs of the Warring States period, stood up and bowed down, shouting in unison: "Cai! β
β¦β¦
At this time, Lin Bin was immediately waiting for the arrival of the Xiongnu enemy army......
