Chapter 147: The Turmoil of the He Clan (29)

"Does the head of the family mean that the head of the family is worried about the war in Gaizhou in the north?" After He Fangxiong mentioned it, He Mingye reacted.

At present, the battle between the Fuzhou and Jinzhou armies on both sides of the Shahe River is about to settle and become a foregone conclusion. He Fangxiong has been the head of the He family for so many years, if a civil strife can't be calmed down, then his family head for so many years is in vain.

In comparison, the invading Liao army is a much more difficult role to deal with than Jinzhou. This time, the Liao army took advantage of the chaos to attack again, can He Shihu and He Tengxiao stabilize Gaizhou? Hold out until the end of this rebellion?

"The biggest threat to the He family is not the He Shibao or the Huang clan, but the Liao army like a tiger and a wolf. The Wu family of the Yu family was defeated at the head of the Liao army, and I don't want the He family to be defeated at the hands of your Liao army. He Fangxiong expressed his biggest concern, "Therefore, the war on our side must end as soon as possible and end as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on Gaizhou." ”

He Mingye nodded, the Fuzhou Army and the Gaizhou Army had indeed reached the point of life and death in the decisive battle: "When does the head of the family plan to fight a decisive battle?" ”

"The decisive battle lies in a quick battle, the decisive battle, the sooner the better, and the decisive battle will be fought tomorrow!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the Liao army was frustrated in the south, the initial battle was unfavorable, and the military camp was stolen, these were not enough to shake the determination of the Liao army to go south. After a short rest, the Liao army immediately moved south.

Moreover, the damage in this sneak attack was mainly due to the Yu family soldiers under Yu Yansong's department, and the real loss of the Liao army was only the dozens of Liao army light cavalry casualties during the pursuit. For the Liao army, which numbered 30,000, this loss was almost negligible.

Yu Yansong suffered a loss, and he no longer dared to underestimate the private soldiers of the He clan. Just a few hundred people dared to sneak attack a military camp with as many as 50,000 people, and this courage is not something that anyone can have, nor is it something that any soldier dares to do.

What kind of ruthless character is the main general who can bring out such soldiers and make them die generously to complete tasks that are almost impossible in the eyes of ordinary people? Thinking that he had encountered such an opponent, Yu Yansong's nervousness was no less than when he fought with the Manshu army.

The Liao army continued to march south, and the burning of the gunpowder depot of the Yu private soldiers cast a shadow on the soldiers of the Yu private soldiers. Among the 50,000 people in the southern army, 30,000 were Liao troops under Wanyan Fushen's department, and 20,000 were Yu Yansong's Yu private soldiers. It can be said that the military operation of this expedition to the south is still dominated by the Liao army, singing the leading role, and Yu Yansong is just a foil.

Moreover, the powder depot burned by the Yu private soldiers was not a grain depot, and they still had the ability to continue to advance southward, so there was no reason to summarily terminate this military operation.

Zhou Shi's team of 100 households successfully escaped the pursuit of the Liao army after the successful sneak attack, and after a big circle, they found He Tengxiao.

Due to the unexpected success of this sneak attack, both the losses and the results achieved were better than He Tengxiao had expected before the operation.

The corpses of all the soldiers who participated in the sneak attack were brought back, and none of them fell into the hands of the Liao army, which was a great encouragement to the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion. The Liao army is not as exaggerated as the outside world says, and the Liao army can also be defeated.

Zhou Shi couldn't be happy, in order to complete this sneak attack, the knights under his command also paid the price of more than 30 deaths, and those who were able to come back were more or less injured. Fortunately, they had chain mail to protect them, and some of the soldiers looked like hedgehogs with arrows hanging densely, but they seemed to be fine.

The protection of the chain mail against long-distance arrows is good, most of the arrows are blocked by the chain mail, and the arrows through the chain mail do not penetrate the flesh much, so they cannot cause substantial damage.

The composition of Zhou Shi's team of 100 households is complex, and many people come from different races, but they have been together for so long, born and died together, and their blood has long been dissolved in water, and the national concept has long been diluted. Killing so many brothers in battle at once, Zhou Shi was very uncomfortable. Half a day ago, they were all living people, but now they have become cold corpses. Cruel, this may be the so-called war.

"Get some rest." He Tengxiao patted Zhou Shi on the shoulder, and he didn't know what kind of comforting words to say to comfort Zhou Shi.

He Tengxiao spread the news that Zhou Shi had successfully burned the powder magazine of Yu Yansong's Yu private soldiers to the Wu private soldiers.

Upon receiving this news, the soldiers of the Wu clan were overjoyed. Wu Tingzhen was even more happy, he knew very well what the concept of burning the powder magazine of an army that mainly relied on firearms to maintain combat effectiveness was.

"Yu Yansong's powder magazine was burned, good news." Wu Tingzhen said excitedly, "Teng Xiao is so bold that he dares to sneak attack Yu Yansong's powder magazine, looking at the entire Liaodong, it is estimated that he dares to do this." ”

"The powder magazine was burned, and the magic guns in the hands of the Yu private soldiers have become burning sticks, if we can't defeat the Liao army's southern expedition, we are really sorry for the brothers who risked their lives to burn the powder magazine of the Yu private soldiers." Wu Zhenwu said.

Although the messenger who came to report the news said that this matter was very simple, he gave a general idea of this matter in a few words of understatement. However, the people here are all veterans of the war, not scholars who can only talk on paper and boast, and they all know in their hearts that this sneak attack is not easy.

According to the news brought by the Chuanxin Flying Cavalry, the Liao army went south after a short rest. The Liao army was dominated by cavalry, but most of the Yu private soldiers under Yu Yansong were foot soldiers, and the marching speed of the Liao army to conquer the southern army was slowed down by Yu Yansong's private soldiers.

Wu Tingzhen calculated the route of the Liao army, and estimated that even if the Liao army's marching speed slowed down, at the latest, the Liao army would arrive within the range of their ambush tomorrow.

For more than a year since the decline of the Wu people, Wu Tingzhen has not given up the battle against the Liao army. Of course, Tangchi Fort is close to the territory of the Liao State, and sporadic conflicts and frictions between Wu Tingzhen and the Liao army are inevitable. However, in the past year, Wu Tingzhen's battle with the Liao army was just a small fight, and it could not be put on the table.

Occasionally, with a little luck, he won the heads of several levels of the Liao army, and Wu Tingzhen also secretly sold these heads to the Qin army or the Huang private soldiers in exchange for valuable food to survive. As for the so-called exploits, they become insignificant in the face of survival.

Wu Tingzhen was always eager for a big battle with his old enemy, the Liao army, and now he finally waited for this opportunity.

After the decline of the situation, he could use nearly 20,000 soldiers to conduct a large-scale battle, which Wu Tingzhen had not dared to imagine before. The weapons and military supplies provided by the He clan supported Wu Tingzhen's battle, and there would not be many such opportunities.

The results of this war will be counted on the head of the Wu clan, and it is a rare opportunity for the Wu clan to prove themselves. The Wu people are all gearing up, waiting for the arrival of the Liao army, waiting to prove their worth.

For the tiger-wolf-like Liao army, they are afraid, but more of them are looking forward to it. (To be continued.) )
