Chapter 211: Heaven Collapses (17)

"One more request." In addition to the requirements of Dagu Town to set up logistics supply points, He Tengxiao also had other requirements.

The preparations for this expedition were rushed, and the transportation capacity of the ships on Yunguam Island was also limited, and it was already the limit of the transportation capacity of the cloud pipeline to transport all the more than 4,000 soldiers to Jinmenwei.

Other than that, it's unrealistic to want to ship other supplies.

The flotilla did not carry food, and it could only be delivered to the Jinmen guards after the ships returned to and fro. Before the ship went back and forth, He Tengxiao needed to carry more than 4,000 mouths under his hands to get food, otherwise everything would not be discussed.

"The general said yes." Liu Shu is still as happy as ever.

"The last general's Qinwang army needs a local station, and the last general of this garrison has already thought about it." He Tengxiao directly said his thoughts, "The garrison is set up in the Jinmen Acropolis, and after the Jinmen Acropolis is repaired, the last general will immediately go north to King Qinwang of Jingshi." ”

At present, the barbarian tribal coalition led by Liao is ravaging Northern Zhili. The north is a horse and a flat river, and the earth is strong in winter, which is suitable for the cavalry-based army to gallop.

The main arm of the Liao army is cavalry, which is extremely mobile and moves like the wind on the plains. Any place in the north of Zhili could be threatened by the Liao army's iron cavalry.

It is safer to stay in the city and be protected by the walls. Most of He Tengxiao's soldiers came from the native Liaodong. After a few days on the boat, some of the soldiers were not suitable for the boat, and some of them were even seasick.

He Tengxiao needed to give these soldiers time to recuperate, and after a short period of recuperation, their physical strength and spirit were restored before they drove to Jingshi City.

There is a city near the Jinmen Guard that can accommodate more than 4,000 soldiers, and there is only the Jinmen Guard Acropolis. Liu Shu is the county commander of Jinmenwei. The Acropolis of Jinmen was under the jurisdiction of Liu Shu, although it was a special period, and a foreign army wanted to enter the city in the interior to be stationed and repaired, but it still needed the permission of the local civil officials.

The Jinmen Guard Town Army was weak, the garrison was empty, and the roots were not enough to deal with the Liao army. He Tengxiao wants to settle in the Tianjin Acropolis, and the safety of the Tianjin Acropolis is also more guaranteed.

Liu Shu himself was also in Jinmenwei, and He Tengxiao's Qinwang Army was stationed in Jinmenwei, and Liu Shu couldn't ask for it. Where will he refuse He Tengxiao.

In addition to this condition, He Tengxiao proposed that the Jinmen guards bear the grain and grass of He Tengxiao's Qinwang Army for twenty days. Liu Shu didn't think much about it and happily agreed to He Tengxiao, not only did he agree to He Tengxiao, but Liu Shu also promised to directly extend the period of providing grain and grass for ten days. promised to provide a month's supply of grain and grass for He Tengxiao's Qinwang Army.

After solving the problem of eating with more than 4,000 mouths, He Tengxiao's hanging heart finally let go. After solving the problem of eating for the soldiers, He Tengxiao can focus all his energy on how to be diligent to the king.

He Tengxiao did not have a good impression of this Great Zhao court. Talking about loyalty to the monarch and serving the country with him, a person eight hundred years later, is tantamount to farting. He had no feelings for the Son of Heaven sitting high in the court. And where does loyalty to him begin?

He Tengxiao's original intention of King Qin this time was not to protect the precarious situation of the Great Zhao court. This is what Peng Chaodong should do, not what he He Tengxiao should do. Peng Chaodong is a loyal minister of the Great Zhao Empire, but He Tengxiao is not.

If there is any difference between He Tengxiao and Peng Chaodong, this is an obvious difference between the two.

As always, the most important thing to do before fighting is to find out what is happening on the ground.

He Tengxiao has never been to Beizhili, but He Tengxiao in later generations often went to Beijing. It's just that it was Beijing City 800 years later, and it is still very different from the Jingshi City of this era.

It can be said that He Tengxiao is blind to the situation in Jingshi City and Beizhili, and he doesn't understand anything.

At this time, the importance of intelligence came to light. Without intelligence, He Tengxiao's next step could only be like a headless fly.

Fighting in a different place, especially in a different place that he is not familiar with, needs to be cautious, and He Tengxiao does not dare to slack off. Now he is a general in command of more than 4,000 people, and every decision he makes is related to the fate of more than 4,000 people, and he must not be careless at all.

As usual, He Tengxiao's approach was to send scouts to investigate the situation from the Jinmen guards to the area around Jingshi City. Sending scouts to investigate the situation is a very traditional practice, and it is also a relatively effective routine practice.

In addition to sending scouts, learning about the situation in the vicinity from local residents, and asking Liu Ce for a map of the guards of Jingshi Chengjin, He Tengxiao did everything. Whatever you can think of, use it all.

The soldiers can have time to recuperate, and as a coach, he has a luxury of even a moment of rest at this time.

The Qin army returned to Guannei one after another, and the road they took today was exactly the same as the one they took a year ago, the only difference was the direction. Last year they went north out of the pass. This year, however, they headed south and returned to Kannai.

After receiving Song Yuren's edict from King Qin, the town troops from all over the country did not dare to delay for a moment, and rushed to Beijing with the town troops from all over the country non-stop. At this time, the emperor was still very majestic in the minds of the magistrates.

For the Zhao Empire, it is a good thing that the war situation has reached a stalemate. Delaying the Liao army bought time for the town troops of King Qin from all over the country to rush to Jingshi City.

As long as it is delayed one more point, the safety of Jingshi City will also be guaranteed. And for the Liao army, the stalemate is undoubtedly bad news. What the Liao army wanted was a quick victory, not a stalemate.

Whether it is time or people, the Liao army cannot afford to consume it.

North Zhili, a suburb of Huairou City.

An army of Menggu and the rest of the barbarian tribes retreated from the city of Huairou in disarray.

After the Liao army failed to storm Huairou City, it could not bear the huge siege casualties, and handed over the arduous and glorious task of conquering Huairou City to the army of the Menggu tribe and the armies of other barbarian tribes.

Huairou City, a military town north of Jingshi City, the city is high and deep, the defense facilities are complete, and the Zhao army defenders in the city are stubborn in resisting. The Liao army failed to conquer Huairou City by 10,000 people, but paid huge casualties under Huairou City.

The Liao army is their backbone, and the Liao army has not been able to attack the fortified fortress under the heavy attack, not to mention the rabble composed of the Menggu tribe army and the rest of the barbarian tribes. They are, at best, cannon fodder roles.

The head that came back drooped and was sluggish.

Wan Yan Haiya looked at the soldiers of the Menggu tribe and other barbarian tribes who had retreated, his face was heavy. The listless expressions of these defeated soldiers told him that another attack on Huairou City had failed.

And this is the third time that Wanyan Haiya has failed to attack Huairou City. (To be continued.) )
