Chapter 203: Heaven Collapses (9)
When the Liao army entered the customs, Liaodong's reaction was even more intense than that of Beizhili, which had not been satisfied with the iron cavalry for a hundred years.
The entry of the Liao army affected the entire Liaodong, and Liaodong, this remote wasteland outside the Saiwai, was rarely lively.
Only the performance of the Wu and He tribes is quite stable. After the Wu people's reward was greatly deducted, life was still very shabby, and this winter they could only rely on the meager reward to buy some grain to barely make ends meet. to survive the bitter winter. The Wu people were disheartened by the imperial court, and this time the Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs, and the Wu people from the top to the bottom, from the top to the bottom, were indifferent to this matter.
The Wu people are more concerned about where their next meal is. After a victory at a terrible price. The lives of the soldiers and civilians of the Wu nationality have not changed much, and the problem of food and material shortages still plagues the Wu nationality.
Fuzhou City, in the Wu'an Mansion.
In this bleak winter, the head of the He family, He Fangxiong, who was once famous in Liaodong and supported by the first strong general in Liaodong, finally fell ill, and he spent most of his time on the sickbed to escape.
In this case, it is impossible for the He clan to interfere with other things and cause trouble to their own clan.
On the sickbed, He Fangxiong has been thinking about who has the ability to take over the He family after him.
When Peng Chaodong was constructing a multi-layered defense line in western Liaoxi in the corridor, in order to give full play to the maximum role of this corridor, the Qin army was stationed at various points. The distribution of the Qin army in Liaodong was very scattered, and it was difficult to mobilize scattered soldiers.
It is even more difficult to efficiently complete the mobilization of all Qin troops in a short period of time. In the western Liaoning region, after Peng Chaodong's current troops set out for King Qin, the Qin army still in the western Liaoning corridor area was still moving.
Peng Chaodong has already left the Liaoning West Corridor to enter the customs, and this time he will face the Liao army face to face again. This time, his opponent was Wanyan Shengcong, the emperor of Liao, not the previous general of Liao.
After Peng Chaodong entered the customs, the Huang people gathered more than 50,000 men and horses, set off a few days after the oath in Jinzhou City, and went directly north to return to Haizhou, and after recovering Haizhou, they went straight to Liaoyang City, the capital of Liao.
This is Huang Yongtao's plan, two battles to solve the burden, the first battle is to capture Haizhou and remove the southern barrier of Liaoyang City. After removing the barrier, the giant Liaoyang City located in the plain area was directly exposed to the Huang Clan, allowing them to slaughter it.
This is a sound way of thinking, and it is also a feasible and excellent strategic plan. I think there are still capable people in the Huang clan. Without the support of these capable people, it is still uncertain whether the Huang people can get to where they are today.
Sitting in Liaoyang City is the four princes of the Manshu tribe, who are full of caution. Wanyan Shengcong personally marched south, and Wanyan Fushen is now the person with the most power in Liao. He is going to pick up this pillar for the Manshu people.
Huang Yongtao's private soldiers of the Huang family are the only private soldiers of the four major families who have not fought against Wanyan Fushen, and there is no one. So far, the other three have fought against the Liao army, and only Huang Yongtao has avoided the war and has never sent troops. The commanders of the Liao army who fought with the private soldiers of the four major families in Liaodong were mostly served by Yan Fushen.
On that day, the Xuanwu Battalion and the Xuanfeng Battalion, two Huang private battalions, also passed by the Liao army in the First Battle of Yingzhou. The opportunity to engage was missed.
How much combat effectiveness the private soldiers of the Huang clan have, compared to the private soldiers of the other three families, whether the private soldiers of the Huang clan are stronger or weaker, there is no bottom to be cautious.
The spies in Jinzhou City were also unable to provide accurate information on the combat effectiveness of the Huang private soldiers. Combat effectiveness is something that has been tested by brutal battlefield battles. It is difficult to accurately judge the combat effectiveness of the opponent by espionage intelligence.
Because he didn't know how capable Huang Yongtao was, Wan Yan was extra cautious this time. With the lesson of the last failure, Wan Yan Fushen no longer dared to despise the Zhao people, and because of mistakes and negligence, he sacrificed 30,000 Manshu warriors. This is the lesson of blood.
And only this time, if you are negligent, it is not 30,000 soldiers who will be lost, but the hinterland of Liaodong that the entire clan has fought hard for decades.
The main forces of the Liao State have already set out to break through the border and enter the customs. The remaining Liao army is only 40,000, Wanyan Shengcong is really bold, for this operation, Wanyan Shengcong even gave up his safety and retreat. Wanyan Shengcong, is this ready to break the kettle?
40,000 people is not difficult to hold the entire hinterland of Liaodong, but it is as difficult as walking a tightrope to face the compression of its forces.
Of course, in addition to these 40,000 soldiers of the Manshu tribe, there are also 30,000 private soldiers of the Yu clan who can be mobilized by Wanyan Fushen. Rao is like this, Wanyan Fushen still feels that his money is so tight, and he always feels that 70,000 people are not enough.
The key lies in the old soldiers of the Manshu tribe, these remaining Manshu soldiers are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and many of them have not been able to participate in this operation due to physical reasons. Such a left-behind army is very different from the Liao army in the eyes of Zhao Jun.
The combat effectiveness of the Liao army left behind is at least a grade worse than that of the ordinary Liao army, and Wan Yan Fu needs to try his best to cover this up. Otherwise, once the Zhao people see the flaws and practice to deal with the Liao State, the Liao State will be overwhelmed.
And there is one most feasible way to make the forces in Liaodong believe that the fighting effectiveness of the Liao army left behind is not weak: to thwart the Zhao army's attack on the hinterland of Liaodong on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the Liao army left behind in front of it is still strong, forcing the forces in Liaodong to dispel the idea of taking advantage of the weakness.
In order to do this, Wan Yan Fushen is also like a gambler with red eyes. All the chips in his hand were pressed on Haizhou City. Haizhou City is the only place for Zhao forces to enter Liaoyang, and if the Zhao army wants to recover Liaoyang City, Haizhou City cannot be bypassed.
Haizhou! Wan Yanfu looked at the word Haizhou on the map cautiously, and felt that these two big characters were very true, and these two big words were his bets. Wan Yan Fushen felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, and staying in Liaoyang City was even more difficult than the days when he was in command and set out on the expedition.
Wanyan Fushen transferred 30,000 of the 40,000 Liao troops, and all of these 30,000 people were filled into Haizhou, replenishing Haizhou's supplies, and arming Haizhou's border city to a military fortress to the teeth.
The Liao army has eaten all the bones of the Zhao army in the battle, and this time you have the opportunity to let the Zhao army also taste this bitterness, and the Liao army is naturally very happy.
This is not enough, and he is still worried that the defense force of Haizhou City is insufficient. The Kemanshu tribe has already been fought by all the men of appropriate age, and their military potential has been squeezed clean. There is no one left for the clan.
There was no one in the clan available, and Wan Yan Fushen nailed his eyes to Yu Yansong. No one in this tribe is available, which does not mean that no one is available in Liao.
Now it is no longer just the Manshu era, only the soldiers of the Manshu nationality are soldiers, and the soldiers who can be requisitioned in the territory of Liao are all considered soldiers.
Yu Yansong was also very cooperative, and 30,000 Yu private soldiers directly set aside 20,000 to increase the defense of Haizhou City. (To be continued.) )
