"Where there was originally nothing, if you want to build a fortress, how can it be so easy, Zhou Quan is too arrogant, at this time it is time to ride straight in, if you have the opportunity, you can take Zhou Quan directly, if you don't have the opportunity, you can also contain Zhou Quan, scare away the people he used, so that the fortress cannot be built!"

"King Wei, if it is because of indulgence and his fortress is built, I don't know whose fault it is, and I don't know who is responsible for delaying state affairs!"

Xiao Sixian's urging, especially the last threat, made Ye Luchun have to make a decision. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That being the case, Uncle Guo can lead the Han Jing to ride 5,000 and take the first step, but, Uncle Guo, I said ugly things ahead, if you can't do anything, please don't act rashly!" Yelu Chun said.

Xiao Sixian was overjoyed, and Ye Luchun's warning was not so much a warning as a hint, telling him that if he couldn't do something, he would not be held responsible.

If you succeed, you will have merit, and if you fail, you will have no fault, how can he not rush to do this kind of thing?

After he left, beside Yelu Chun, Yelu monk Nu pouted with some dissatisfaction: "This defeated general, can he also speak bravely?" The king let him go, but he was afraid that he would lose again. ”

"So what I gave him is a miscellaneous soldier, he doesn't care if he loses, as long as he doesn't let my army hurt his muscles and bones." Ye Luchun also sneered, and then frowned again: "Zhou Quan's actions must have a reason, he must have taken this adventure to lure me into taking the bait!" ”

"Then the king still wants to send troops?" A staff member next to him asked puzzled.

Knowing that this is the other party's bait, wouldn't it be too stupid to swallow it in one bite?

"First, this bait is enough, and it turned out to be Zhou Quan himself...... If you win Zhou Quan, it is better than thousands of troops and horses, and my Da Liao is less than the Southern Dynasty, and there is only one Zhou Quan! The Son of Heaven was confused by the traitor, if it was according to my wishes, he would have sent Yu Liyan to Zhou Quan a long time ago, and now he is empty-handed! Yelu Chun made a few rare words of Yelu Yanxi's complaints.

Everyone nodded again and again, maybe they still didn't think much of Zhou Quan's military strategy, but there was no one in the world who was not convinced by Zhou Quan's ability to make money.

What's more, there are also strong ships and guns!

"Second, Your Majesty will not let me continue to stay in Yanjing, if I don't send troops, Your Majesty will definitely punish me, you know that I am cautious, but the relatives and nobles around Your Majesty will only treat me as a tiger who fears the enemy!"

Everyone also only nodded, this so-called pro-noble, it was Xiao Fengxian, as long as this person still had Yelu Yanxi's credit, those of them who were outside could only be restrained.

"Three...... It is also forced by the situation, Zhou Quan's goal is the population of Nanjing Dao, he ordered Yelu Margo to march into Shicheng, clearly telling me that if I don't fight, he will loot the population county by county, and the population of Nanjing Dao will be searched for him, and I will recapture Wuqing, which is also ......a crime."

Speaking of this, Ye Luchun said with deep helplessness, if you don't fight, you will be finished, if you fight, at least you still have some initiative, you can fight hard.

Hearing him say this, the generals and staff around him were silent. Ye Luchun immediately realized that before the war started, he said such things first, which really hurt his morale. Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, when I stayed for Nanjing in the past, I was still handsome this time, and I asked myself to treat you well. In today's battle, if I win, I can be safeguarded, and if I lose, I will die, are you willing to fight for me to the end? ”

His reputation in the Liao State is not low, and he almost became the emperor, so his subordinates are very convinced of him. Hearing this, the monk slave of Yelu was the first to shout: "Then there is no need to ask, I am willing to fight to the death for the king!" ”

"I am willing to fight to the death for the king!" The crowd shouted.

This is the mourning soldiers, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, with this morale, they should be able to fight with Zhou Quan.

Yelu Chun thought of this and stared at Yelu Monk Nu: "Monk Nu, although I want to fight Zhou Quan to the death, this guy has always been cunning, and he ordered his five thousand people to leave. The direction of the 5,000 people is Stone City, and it seems that they are going to reinforce Yelu Marge, but I expect that their real purpose may be the back of our army! ”

"Our army's back road?" Someone said suspiciously: "Yanjing? ”

"Yanjing City is high and heavily guarded, and I have repeatedly explained when I came, if they come to attack Yanjing, it will be good...... What worries me really is that they cut off our army's food routes. 100,000 troops, people eat horses and chew, as long as the food is cut off for one day, the army's heart will be unstable, and the whole army will collapse without a fight! ”

This is his old words, and Yelu monk Nu suddenly understood that he had been sent to the most critical position.

"Please, the king's command!" He said respectfully.

"I'll be 10,000 elites with you, you go back to pick up the grain road, as long as the grain road doesn't have an accident, after this incident, I will guarantee you a great achievement!"

He only gave Xiao Fengxian 5,000 miscellaneous cards, but gave Yelu monk slave 10,000 elites, and Yelu monk slave immediately received the order.

If the Liao State used tribal soldiers this time, then there were livestock along with the army, which could partially solve the food problem.

"It's Zhou Quan's house, don't worry about food, although he came from afar, but the sea ship is huge, and the grain on a ship is said to have ten thousand stones......"

Ye Luchun was extremely envious of Zhou Quan's food supplies, and he was far from being the only one who was envious.

In Shicheng, Yelu Ma laughed: "You said you were tired of eating this?" How can you get tired of eating such food? ”

Ye Chu touched his nose and watched Yelu Margo munch on the canned meat in the clay pot, with a look of disgust on his face: "If you are also for a month, there is nothing else to eat except the meat here, you will naturally get tired of it...... Why don't you get tired of it, I can't eat anything when I smell it now! ”

"Follow the horse, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!" Jerumagor rebuked him.

Brother Yelu Ma is older, and he also fought bloodily with Zhou Quan at the beginning, and he is Yu Liyan's cronies, even if he is of a different race, his status is quite transcendent. He said Ye Chu twice, Ye Chu didn't get angry, just smiled: "Brother Ma, don't blow early, after a month, if you still have such a good appetite, I will serve you." ”

After eating the last piece of canned meat, Yelu Mago did not even let go of the soup like the soldiers around him, and had to lick it all. He threw down the clay pot and sighed: "Don't you know, the situation in Daliao has been bad in recent years, the dignitaries and nobles are drunk and dreaming of death, and the luxury goods from the Southern Dynasty are one after another, but the situation of these ordinary soldiers is miserable...... I conquered Stone City, firstly, because I had already set up men here, and secondly, they hadn't seen meat for months! ”

In the Liao country, where animal husbandry is developed, soldiers do not know the taste of meat for several months, and its domestic situation can be imagined. Ye Chu's expression was solemn: "If that's the case, the Khitan soldiers should be better, right?" ”

"The Khitan soldiers belong to their respective accounts, and the situation is better, but the situation of the rest of the Han and Tibetan troops will only be more pitiful. The most pitiful thing is the Japanese soldiers......"

Yelu Dashi occupied a piece of land in Japan, and in addition to wealth, it was the population that was transported to the Liao country. Many of them were so strong that they were even trained into soldiers, but they could only be regarded as slave soldiers, not even servant soldiers. Their treatment is also the lowest, that is, they are given food, and sometimes they can't even afford to eat.

What Yelu Margo said is more interesting, there is a Japanese general, who is also Japanese, who withheld military rations, causing the Japanese soldiers to make a noise, saying that they would starve to death if they had no food. The Japanese generals actually said that the Japanese have been herbivores since ancient times, and Liaoguo is full of pastures and forests, how can the grass-eating Japanese be hungry!

Later, when things got bigger, the Liao general came forward to behead the Japanese officer, and the matter calmed down, but the matter became a joke, and the Khitans often asked them what grass they ate when they saw the Japanese.

Hearing this joke told by Brother Yelu Ma, Ye Chu sighed twice: "The situation is at this point, I'm afraid that the Great Liao Guozuo will not be long in coming!" ”

The army is the cornerstone of the Liao State, and even the army is treated like this, so what else does the Liao State rely on to resist foreign enemies and suppress internal resistance?

Brother Yelu Ma nodded, not only did he not mind this, but gloated a little: "Since they treat the princess of Shu like this, it is better to die earlier, and it is better to use Liao as a dowry!" ”

"It's hard for us to say whether the Liao State should be a dowry or not, but these populations in Nanjing Province are the dowries of the princesses of the Shu Kingdom, and Concubine Wen Niangniang personally came forward to recruit the population, so we have to get things done!" After Ye Chu finished speaking, he stood up from the ground, shook the cotton coat on his body, raised the binoculars, and looked into the distance.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Here we are!" ”

In his telescope, the 10,000 elites of the Liao Kingdom of Yelu and Shangnu had already appeared.

Unlike the Wuqing army, which had just had a full meal, the 10,000 elites brought by Yelu monk Nu were a little tired.

At this time, the cold wind was howling, and there were already scattered snowflakes drifting, and they drove the people who carried the grain, whether they were soldiers or people, all hungry and cold, and complained.

Then he received an urgent report from the scout.

The Wuqing army was composed of the chamber of commerce guards led by Ye Chu and the original Liao army led by Yelu Ma Ge, the chamber of commerce guarded 5,000, and the original Liao army had 7,000 - Yelu Ma Ge originally had 3,000 men and horses, and later recruited and recruited 4,000 in Shicheng.

Yelu monk slave has 10,000 elites of the Liao State in his hands, and more than 20,000 people, but when there is a war, the role of the people is to repair fortifications, and it is impossible to expect them to fight.

Therefore, when Yelu and Shangnu received a report from the scouts that there were enemy troops in front of him, he immediately ordered the people to gather all the grain wagons and surround them into fortifications, and scatter deer firewood and iron thistles to prevent the enemy from charging into battle.

His reaction was not unfast, but Wu Qingjun's movements were still faster than he imagined.

To be exact, it was the movement of the five thousand chamber of commerce escort army, which was faster than the Liao army, which was dominated by cavalry, and only a quarter of an hour after Yelu and Shangnu received the news, the military formation of the escort army had already appeared in his sight.

Without rest, the attack immediately began, and the guards in thick cotton clothes took the initiative to attack the Liao army in rags, and the one who opened the way was the artillery!

Light infantry field artillery, although the range is not far, the power is not great, but when the two sides meet in the field, the simple fortifications of the Liao people simply cannot withstand the bombardment of this light infantry field artillery, especially those people, at the same time as the sound of the cannon will be chaotic!
