Chapter 768: Infighting
The Liaodong Governor's Mansion, located in Liaoyang City, the news that the Tartars began to transfer was in the hands of Wang Feng as soon as possible.
After reading Huang Taiji's arrangement, Wang Feng, who had just received a good report from the cavalry division, was happy for a while. The excited face immediately returned to calm, and slowly became solemn.
After taking a deep breath, he said helplessly to the commander of the 5,000-thousand-forehead cavalry division in front of him, who was eager to try to ask himself for battle, and wanted to find an opportunity to eat the Tartar 5,000-dignified cavalry commander again......
"Master Zhang, take a look for yourself...... As soon as we ate the five thousand elites of the Tartars, Huang Taiji will no longer give us a chance......"
"All the way to the Tartars 5,000 musketeers, 5,000 cavalry, a total of 10,000 elites...... Even if I give you the heavy artillery regiment, you can't eat these 10,000 elites in a short time. One is not good, and your cavalry division may also be dragged on the battlefield by the Tartars. After the more than 10,000 iron cavalry held by Huang Taiji in his hand arrived at the battlefield, he directly ate some of your cavalry division...... When the time comes, you won't have a place to cry......"
After slamming his clenched fist against the wall, the cavalry division commander had to say with a face full of unwillingness: "Commander, this Huang Taiji is really too cunning...... It's no wonder that every time we send troops to Houjin, we avoid them to a dead end, and he can still find a way to get out of trouble......"
Wang Feng waved his hand and replied, "Okay, don't talk nonsense...... From now on, no one can leave Liaoyang City without my orders...... However, all the scouts under the cavalry division must not be idle, and must all go out of the city to closely monitor every move of the Houjin army......"
"As long as the reinforcements sent by the prince arrive in Liaoyang, we will immediately launch a counteroffensive according to the situation on the battlefield. Drove the Houjin army out of Liaodong. Will I lose Liaodong. Reduced to the lowest dรน......"
The cavalry division under the command of Wang Feng was closed, and the two Tartar attacking troops, as if they had entered a no-man's land, began to plunder in Liaodong......
Unlike before, in this operation, the Houjin Tartars did not burn and loot everywhere as before. Kill the old and weak women and children he encountered, and capture all the young and middle-aged people back to Houjin.
In Huang Taiji's words, Houjin can't even feed his own people, so why do he need so many young and strong captives?
As for those old and weak women and children, instead of killing them, it is better to leave them to the Haw Par Army and increase the burden on the Haw Par Army......
So, in this plunder, the Houjin Tartars were surprisingly honest. In addition to looting finances and food, not even a single ordinary person was killed...... directly subverted the Haw Par Army's perception of the Houjin Tartars......
So. The whole raid was carried out unusually smoothly......
Two Tartar raiding troops. Just one day after leaving, a steady stream of food and supplies was sent out of Liaodong and into the territory of Houjin under the transportation of war horses and pack horses......
Soon, three days passed......
The smile on Huang Taiji's face became stronger than ever at this moment.
Because, in these three days, the two raiding troops recovered more than one million loads of grain for Houjin.
Combined with the grain looted at the beginning, it was a full 1.2 million quintals.
With so much food, coupled with a huge number of cattle, sheep and livestock, it can definitely guarantee the needs of all the people of Houjin for a year.
For Huang Taiji, as long as he has food in his hands, all his worries will be solved.
Therefore, when Huang Taiji heard the scout's report, it would take a day at most, and 10,000 reinforcements from the Tiger and Leopard Army could rush to Liaoyang. The smile on Huang Taiji's face did not show any signs of dissipation because of this.
At this time, Ao Bai took the first step and said: "Great Khan, the two raiding troops, one more day of activity outside, you can give me Houjin to loot more than 300,000 loads of grain...... Look, do you want the minions to come up with more than 10,000 iron horsemen to block the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army. As long as the slave can block a day, it means that my Houjin can have an extra 300,000 quintals of grain reserves......"
Obai's idea is good, but the reality is very cruel......
As soon as the words of the battle were finished, Huang Taiji refused without hesitation: "Ao Bai, it's not that Ben Khan doesn't believe in your command ability, it's really that this reinforcement sent by the Tiger and Leopard Army is too powerful......
"According to the scout report, this army of 10,000 people is the most elite, the most combative, and the best-equipped guard division of the Haw Par Army...... Although the scale is only 10,000 people. However, its combat effectiveness is equivalent to 20,000 ordinary Haw Par troops......"
"The more than 10,000 iron horsemen we hold in our hands are not only no match for the Haw Par Army Guard Division, but they don't even have the ability to strike a single blow...... Therefore, if you take the initiative to attack, not only will you not be able to hold back the reinforcements of the Haw Par Army, but you will also trap yourself and lose more than 10,000 soldiers in vain......"
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji didn't drag the slightest bit of mud and water, and directly opened his mouth and decided: "The latest order of Chuanben Khan, the two raiding troops, since receiving the order, immediately stop all actions...... Take the food and supplies you have looted, and immediately retreat and withdraw from Liaodong ......"
"The six-way besieging troops, after all the captured and plundered troops have withdrawn from Liaodong, quickly withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to the mountains according to the predetermined plan......"
With the help of more than 100,000 war horses, hundreds of thousands of loads of grain did not have the slightest effect on the retreat of the Tartars.
When the Haw Par Army Guard Division worked hard all the way to the outside of Liaoyang City, the Tartars who had invaded the territory of Liaodong had all disappeared in one day and one night......
In the Liaodong Governor's Palace, after receiving the news that the Houjin army had withdrawn from Liaodong, the governor Wang Feng could be said to be both happy and helpless......
I am glad that the Houjin army is finally gone, but helplessly, as the governor of Liaodong, in the case of insufficient troops, I can only watch the Houjin army leave, watching the huge wealth that should have belonged to Liaodong be taken away by the Houjin Tartars.
Standing in front of Wang Feng, the commander of the guard division with a tired face had a completely different idea in his heart......
I rushed all the way to reinforce me, just to kill the Tartars and make war achievements.
And now, not to mention the exploits, not even the shadow of the Tartars is seen.
Under such circumstances, all kinds of grievances and dissatisfaction in the heart of the guard division commander directly turned into anger towards Houjin Tartar.
Therefore, after entering the Liaodong Governor's Palace, the division commander didn't even breathe, so he asked Wang Feng for battle, led his soldiers, and chased out of Liaodong.
However, what made the guard division commander dissatisfied when he arrived was that Wang Feng refused his invitation to fight.
As a result, in just the blink of an eye, the anger of the guard division commander towards Houjin Tartar turned into dissatisfaction with Wang Feng.
As soon as Wang Feng's refusal came out, Xiang Hui, who was the commander of the guard division and Wei Zheng's confidant, shouted with an arrogant face: "Commander Wang, I am the commander of the guard division, and only the prince can order me...... The reason why I asked you to fight is because I respect you as a veteran of my Haw Par Army...... Since you don't agree, then my guard division will act on its own and chase out Liaodong ......"
After Xiang Hui finished his arrogant words, the lobby was still in a relaxed atmosphere just now, and in the blink of an eye, it became solemn.
Including Wang Feng, everyone looked at the guard division commander in front of them with a face full of incredulity...... (To be continued......)
