Chapter 17: Changes in the Script (2)
"Can't take it, can't take it, we're defeated, we're defeated"
The screams of panic swept around. The chaotic army of the brigade retreated like a low tide. These chaotic military uniforms are messy, old and weak, and most of them are barefoot in such weather. Among them, only half of them are considered to have serious blades in their hands, and the rest are first-class wooden sticks, hoes, and dung forks. The people in armor are even more innumerable, not to mention the command and restraint, the advance is a hug, and when the defeat is retreated, it is even more disregarded, even if the small leaders who lead the team shout hoarsely to stabilize their positions, and even cut down several people, but they still can't stand, and they are impulsed by the crowd, and they are defeated and retreated together.
In front of me, it is just a small dock-walled fortress, the trench is not wide and deep, and the wall is not high. The walls of the wall are densely packed with human heads shaking, just now the chaotic army rushed to the village, the villagers on the wall of the wall threw everything that could be thrown and fired down, knocked down seven or eight crude wooden ladders, under the wall, in the trench, there were corpses everywhere, and there were people who could not die for a while, slowly squirming and struggling in the corpse pile. When the chaotic people attacked the village, the momentum was extremely huge, and the retreat was also extremely fast, so that people could not react for a while, although they won for a while, but every villager on the wall did not make a cheer, just looked at the eyes blankly.
Near the left side of the wall, as far as the eye can see, there seem to be groups of chaotic troops gathered in one place. In the front are young and strong, in the middle are old and weak, and in the back there are women and girls and children. They all wore white cloths on their arms and made all kinds of shouts. Even if it was near the battlefield, there were people who were burying the pot and cooking, and the food they grabbed was quickly sent down to their stomachs.
The biggest thing about the rebellion is that it is good at coercion, once the tide rolls up, it is an overwhelming crowd. The chaotic army in front of me, plus the old and young women and children, I am afraid that there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people. There weren't many households in the north of Youyan, but the recent war has been even worse, and these chaotic armies have almost pulled all the manpower that can be coerced into this chaos
These chaotic armies marched all the way, and the corpses looked at each other, but it was the result of the strong and the weak, and the men and women were kidnapped. If their own fortress is overwhelmed by them, they will immediately be assimilated into a normal form, surging towards the next target, but they don't know how many people will be left in this fortress
On the wall, the lord of the dock wall here, wearing the iron armor that I don't know which Liao junior officer took off his body, trembling with his legs, looking at the vision in despair, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Straight mother thief, send a messenger again, go to Danzhou to ask Xiao Xuanzan for help that day, to expand the Shenwu Changsheng Army, I am such a small place, and I also have forty stone of grain, seven horses, and five strong young people who can use them, where did I go?" ………… Mother, where did this big stone forest tooth come from? Really don't you give us a good life for the people of Yandi? The Song people have become our masters, what kind of Bianliang court did the thieves and birds treat us as their people? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lord of the dock above the fortress hissed and shouted, full of despair.
Outside the fortress, in the midst of the rebel army. It is not necessarily where to rejoice. Qu Shuai, who led this side of the men and horses, with seven or eight loyal Khitan guards, they were the most fully equipped, and they also had long knives and sharp swords, and they had already cut down dozens of retreating defeated soldiers, their bodies were soaked in blood, and the heads were stacked on top of each other, but they couldn't stop these chaotic troops from retreating.
This Qu Shuai was also a child of the Khitan family that day, and he looked white and unfought. Yanjing City was broken, the whole family died, and many people threw themselves into the fire. He struggled out, the world is big, but there is nowhere to go. After the resumption of the Liao army, with a few remnant generals, with this bit of force, he actually became a party commander. Yelu Dashi suddenly erected a banner, this has always been his idol, and he suddenly worked desperately, anyway, the family is gone, and this revenge always has to find the Song people to revenge
However, the reliable force under his command brought out the few generals, the few Khitan stragglers gathered, and the strong men in the troubled times selected by No. 100. It's better to eat than the rest of the rebellious army. With this basic force, it is impossible to control the 20,000 or 30,000 people who have been coerced in a frenzy.
The rioters rise up in order to survive, and they are extremely ferocious at first, but they are often exhausted. If we can't continue to boost their morale, the tide will rise and recede quickly
Since Da Shi Linya led everyone to rise up, why didn't he come to the battlefield in person? As long as his figure appears in the battle array, plus the more than 1,000 men and horses in his old camp, even if he is scattered around to encourage the commanders of all parties, everyone will not work hard to serve the death? How could you hit your head in front of such a small dock wall?
The commander of the Fuliao army gasped heavily, and he didn't dare to kill again, and he didn't dare to urge the chaotic army under his command to attack the fortress in front of him again, and retreated into the Chinese army with his henchmen. I couldn't help but look back at the dozens of knights behind the Chinese army. Those knights were all riding horses, wearing armor, and the blades they carried were also extremely fine, and there were more than a hundred long-term men who were responsible for serving and supplying their dozens of horses.
These knights were all sent from the old camp of Dashilinya when they started their troops that day. Except for standing behind the battle with the flag, he didn't do anything else. However, the direction of action of the commanders everywhere is extremely strict. Originally, everyone started in the border area of Youyan, and it was the cheapest thing to gather in Danzhou, an important town in the border area. However, under the strict orders of these warlords, the military order of Dashi Linya must bypass Danzhou, and the commanders of all parties marched towards Yanjing in separate ways, the goal was to break the dock wall fortress along the way, converge under Yanjing City, recapture this important town of Daliao, and re-establish the banner of Daliao Restoration
At this time, there were many more unjust roads taken, and how many fortresses had to be fought along the way. Although some more men and horses can be coerced along the way, for the commanders of all parties of the Fuliao Army, who are short of food and grass, the longer they are exposed to the opposition, the more people will die, and the faster this morale will decay. If Dashi Linya hadn't come to the battle in person, the fierce waves of the Fuliao army might have to start ebbing away at a distance of 100 miles from Yanjing City
The Qu Shuai gasped for breath, looked at the scattered appearance of tens of thousands of people under his command, looked at the corpses covered in front of the small dock wall, and looked at the gray and dreary weather, suddenly cursed, and strode towards the dozens of horses behind the battle. Several of his henchmen followed him closely.
Around these dozens of horsemen, those chaotic soldiers and homeless people are far away from them. The sophisticated equipment of these dozens of horsemen, and the longbows and blades on their bodies, are the greatest deterrent. There were still more than a dozen steps away from them, and the Qu Shuai had already shouted at the figure who looked like the team leader: "Where is the big stone Linya? What about Marshal Zhen? What about Vice Marshal Yu? We are fighting to the death in front, why can't the old camp come up? It's easy to set off such a momentum, and we, the people of the broken family, have gambled with our lives, shouldn't we have seen it? Could it be that the original intention of Da Shi Linya was to see if we died? ”
Struggling in the troubled times, killing countless people every day, this child of the Liao family who was dressed in fine clothes and jade food that day, his eyes were red at the moment, like a beast
The leading knight looked at him, muttered, and spoke in the most standard Yandi accent: "Da Shi Linya acts, you dare to doubt it?" What kind of character are you, don't you blame the big stone forest tooth? This Fuliao army is the hard work of the two marshals Lin Ya and Zhen Yu, they naturally have their own calculations about the military situation here, I have reported them one by one, and Dashi Linya naturally has something to deal with, you just work hard to fight to the death."
That Qu Shuai laughed: "We're not fighting to the death? How many people died along the way? I'm not afraid of anything, I've killed enough people, just waiting for him to take revenge on the eighteenth layer of hell and come back, I just want to watch those Song people who broke Yanjing City, and follow us into this Abi hell, but why don't you come forward and fight to the death? You're still not Lin Ya's subordinates? ”
The leader replied coldly: "When it is time for us to fight to the death, you will naturally have eyes to see us being ordered to supervise the army, and if you refuse to move forward, you will naturally know our methods."
Na Qu Shuai and several henchmen around him were furious, but there was no way. His basic force, one hundred and ten people together, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of these dozens of horsemen, not to mention, if the backbone of these chaotic troops rises up, then the people and horses of this side that are wrapped in it will suddenly disperse, so wouldn't it be cheap for the Song people in vain?
At the moment, he had to swallow his anger, and the halberd pointed to the opposite dock wall: "This is towards Yanjing, one by one, how many people and horses will be lost?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to beat a few dock fortresses, and the momentum we have gathered so hard will be lost, so it's better to turn around and go to Danzhou. Since Wang Yasha, Danzhou has been the richest and has many displaced people. As long as we open a fortress, we will double our momentum, why do we have to go far? ”
The knight leader's tone was even colder, and it was full of threats: "Do you dare to disobey the military orders of the Great Stone Linya?" When the Song people first went down to Yanyun, their foothold was not stable, so they didn't knock down Yanjing earlier, and ordered the Quartet, waiting for the Song people to slowly gain a firm foothold? Go back, urge your subordinates to fight to the death, open the old camp of the big stone forest in front of you, and soon join the battlefield, if you delay, and see if I dare to march the law"
The leader of the Qu Shuai froze there, laughing violently, and his tone was full of sadness: "If it is not for Song Sheng, it will be for Liao." I broke my family in the hands of the Song people, and I only fought for this life, but I am afraid that I am no longer the hero in the minds of our Khitans."
He strode back, and ordered loudly: "Beat the drums, blow the trumpets to drive up those dead leftover seeds, and go forward to tell them together, they are also waiting to starve to death in this wilderness, it is better to open the fortress, before everyone dies, you can still mix a belly and die here, which is also an end, it is better than not being born and dying in this world."
The horn sounded and whimpered, and the drum sound that I didn't know where it came from also sounded deeply, and the henchmen under the command of this Qu Shuai were scattered, loudly encouraging the morale of the chaotic army, kicking and beating in the crowd, and even killing people, urging these chaotic and chaotic troops to list the team again, and the Qu Shuai also stood at the head of the team, raising the long knife that had already been dyed red, and when the whistling sound sounded, he looked back and looked north, and there was only one thought in his heart at this moment: "Da Shi Linya, how are you calculating?" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a small hill in the distance, a group of people and horses watched the qiē staged in front of them from a distance. This Biao man and horse are all Song cavalry attire, all of them are made of fiery red, the first general, tall, long hands and feet, a disheveled beard under the chin, a long-handled broadsword on the saddle victory bridge, the knife drill is simply a sharp and long spear tip with two sides open. Compared with the usual horseman's horse, it is considered a plus.
This general is none other than Han Shizhong. He commanded 3,000 Song cavalry under his command, but he was only separated between the Fuliao army and Danzhou, and he kept in touch with each other. If there is an eyeless Fuliao army approaching, it will be wiped out. Fortunately, these Fuliao troops all bypassed Danzhou, and the brigade rolled and slashed in the direction of Yanjing. Even if some Qu Shuai is closer to them, but looking at the mighty lineup of this Song cavalry, who dares to provoke them
Where they were, with a panoramic view of the battlefield in front of them, they watched the chaotic army roaring and shouting, swarming up with despair, drowning everything in smoke and dust. The sound of fighting, screaming, even if it is so far away, can be faintly heard. I don't know how many people fell on the ground of Youyan during this exchange. Both parties risked their lives, one for survival and revenge. The other party is desperately trying to keep his pitiful belongings in this troubled world, and refuses to be swallowed up by this cannibalistic world.
The fight between the two parties, although there is no level at all, but the fierceness, cruelty and blood, still make the audience can't help but be moved
Among the people who were moved, there was no Han Shizhong.
A general beside Han Shizhong couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed slightly: "These Liao remnants, why bother?" Under the rule of our Song people, it's not that they can't survive............ Now that I'm so desperate, I don't know that my actions are all in the praise material............ It's better to do it earlier, and there will be fewer deaths, and you will create evil............"
Han Shizhong turned his head and glanced at him coldly: "But I didn't expect that you, a fighting man, are kind-hearted."
As soon as he said it, the faces of the generals around him turned red, and he wanted to defend something, but he couldn't say it. Han Shizhong looked at him and didn't give up: "You are still from the Western Army, when the Western thieves were strong, they broke our prefectures and counties, and a large number of people were taken captive to their six states to be the driving mouth, or they filled the ravines when they were about to fight." Why aren't you so kind? These people refuse to surrender to the Song Dynasty, they are enemies, and they are all dead, so what are they straight? As long as it is not us who die in the Great Song Dynasty, when the Liao people are powerful, when the roadside land in Hebei Province is not plundered by the grass valley? After a grass valley, Dai Xiao, a family in the border area, didn't see you call the rise of the Jurchen for those people, this Yan land will have to turn over the battlefield in the future, or clean it up, so as to become a reliable place for us in the Great Song Dynasty."
Han Shizhong turned his head disdainfully, looked at the battlefield in front of him coldly, and continued: "This world is originally a cannibalistic world. Sandwiched between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, and it is the end of the country, these Khitan Xi people have to accept what we are doing here now, that is, don't let the Great Song Dynasty, under the city of Bianliang, and even the hinterland of our Shaanxi, also have such a scene today For this, Xiao Xuanzan let Lao Han be a butcher, and I Lao Han also admitted it."
The generals around him even turned red in the neck, and patted their chests: "General Han Zheng, I am also a military minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I not know the enemy and me?" When the time comes, when they are swept away, you will see if my heart is soft."
Han Shizhong snorted, even if he heard it, he continued to watch the battlefield for a long time. The smoke and dust stirred up on the battlefield gradually dissipated a little, and I saw those chaotic troops, ants attached to the dock wall and fortress, inside and outside the trench, everywhere there were paths paved with corpses. The whole fortress was fighting with red eyes, arrows and blades were flying, boiling water and hot oil, pouring among the heads of people surging under the fortress, which aroused a miserable scream.
There were also many dead and wounded on the top of the fortress, and several big holes were also made in the wall. The people in the village held a big log, step by step towards the gap, and even the old and weak women and children in the village were lying on both sides of the gap, desperately throwing earth and stones to the gap. Large groups of hedgehogs on both sides gathered in the gap, stabbing each other with spears on both sides, and the crowd was so dense that they were stabbed by spears and their bodies could not even fall
At this time, the wall was gradually stabilized, and several walls held by the rebel army were blocked. Several stabbed and slashed corpses were thrown off the wall. I heard a shout: "Qu Shuai can't take it down, I can't take it down, everyone retreat, everyone retreat."
Watching the battle so far, a mocking smile appeared on Han Shizhong's face, shook his head, turned around on his horse, and was about to gallop down the mound: "Don't look at it, there is no more powerful soldiers and horses in charge, these chaotic troops, even the edge of Yanjing can't touch the Yelu big stone can't always be supplied, they have to take it out, don't surround Yanjing, even the Hejian Mansion of the straight mother thief will not be shocked, let alone Bianliang"
The surrounding generals half understood and half didn't understand Han Shizhong's words, and when they saw Han Shizhong turn around, they rode their horses to follow, jumped off the mound, and galloped back towards the way they came. And on the battlefield in the distance, those chaotic armies were once again defeated like a tide, but they didn't know how many corpses and souls had been added to this attack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another battlefield, almost the same scene was played. Also on the way from the Youyan border to the direction of Yanjing, a fortress was in the middle, as dilapidated as the chaotic army that Han Shizhong had seen, but the same powerful chaotic army and horses, plucked up their courage again and again, pounced and attacked the fortress in front of them.
Open here, you are one step closer to Yanjing City. Open this place, you can live a few more days with the food in the fortress. Open here, you can coerce hundreds or thousands of people or even more, make yourself more powerful, you can drown more places, the family has been flattened, relatives have died almost, in this wilderness, I don't know how long I can last, it is better to let other people's fate become like myself
The red-eyed battle also unfolded inside and outside the walls of the small fortress. Human life is the most invaluable thing in the meantime, falling one by one, row by row, and then being trampled underfoot.
In the midst of the crowd, there was a tall man, surrounded by a group of people, just in the middle of the chaotic line in front of the impact. When everybody moves forward, they take a few steps forward, and when everybody steps back, they take a few steps back. Whoever wants to impulse this group of people gathered into a circle, they will unceremoniously serve with white blades. The front has already killed red eyes, and the rear team is also desperately rushing forward under the supervision of Qu Shuai, among the chaotic army, a crowd of tens of thousands of people, everyone is dizzy, who still pays attention to the abnormality of this group of only more than 100 people?
In the midst of the chaotic crowd, it is also extremely laborious to maintain their small circle. Although the group was obviously stronger than the people around them, they were all tired and out of breath. In this circle of people, there is a tall man, this man has ape arms and bee waist, and his body is extremely tall, but there are more than eight scars on his face, and he is so hideous that he can't look like a person. He has always watched over the battlefield, directing his group to advance and retreat, and maintaining this circle of people not to be destroyed by this madness. When the people supporting the outer circle were tired, they seized the time to replace them in to rest, although they were not fighting to the death, but they were not distracted at all. Where the mental strength is wasted, I am afraid that it will be a few points more than fighting
A sturdy man suddenly squeezed in from outside, and God knows how he managed to find his way out of the crowd. His clothes were crushed and his clothes were torn, his face was bruised and swollen, and even the man himself didn't know how he was injured. He reported to the scarface young man who was guarded by everyone: "Da Lang, the other two of our brothers are still unharmed, and it seems that this attack is about to retreat again, they asked me to ask, do you want to converge in one place?" ”
This scar-faced young man is none other than Dong Dalang.
He led 500 men and horses to contact the Liao army. Dong Dalang was cautious, first mixed into the army, and then prepared to find Zhen Liuchen. He knew his grievances with Guo Yaoshi, and God knew if Zhen Liuchen still held a grudge against him. Although everyone is down now, there is a lot of room for cooperation, but no one can say whether Zhen Liuchen will turn his face
Except for the old battalion, the rest of the Fuliao army was scattered, Dong Dalang dispersed his men and horses a little, and it didn't take much to get mixed into the command of Qu Shuai on the side of the Fuliao army. At this time, after Yelu Dashi arrived, he was about to straighten out the people for a few days, so he went out in all directions and disturbed Yandi
When the whole army was being reorganized, Yelu Dashi, Zhen Liuchen and others naturally had to patrol the camp under close surveillance to boost the morale of the army. Dong Dalang not only saw them, but also saw Yu Jiang, who had been serving Xiao Yan for a long time, he followed Wan Yan to set up a horse to attack Xiao Yan's headquarters that day, and fought with many Xiao Yan's personal guards, Dong Dalang is an unforgettable memory of people, in the crowd, he saw Xiao Yan's personal guards, watching Zhen Liuchen and Yelu Dashi inch by inch
It's weird, and you don't need to ask. This Fuliao army is very likely to have been created by Xiao Yan, but he doesn't know what to do with them, Dong Dalang's first thought is to raise his own respect, and these martial arts methods are of course no stranger to Dong Dalang. And this is his Dong Dalang's opportunity, seeing that this Fuliao army is about to be launched, with Xiao Yan presiding over it, it is certain that there will be chaos in Yandi, and he Dong Dalang is afraid that Yandi will not be in chaos
What made his heart even more hot was that Xiao Yan's personal guards were there, and Xiao Yan might also be in the Fuliao army to estimate the number of people in the old camp, but there were more than a thousand, if Xiao Yan was there, he would be in danger of being out-and-out in danger. Once the chaos breaks out, the Fuliao army is coerced a lot, as long as it can make noise, can Xiao Yan still be able to protect the leader? In case there is an opportunity, Yelu Dashi and Zhen Liuchen, who were closely monitored and controlled, will be rescued, and at that time, this Fuliao army, not to mention all in its hands, will at least be able to share considerable strength
When Dong Dalang went south, this newspaper was bound to die. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a situation
He immediately gritted his teeth and scratched his handsome face, without the slightest hesitation. Since he wants to hide in the army and wait for the change, then he must not be exposed
This time, he Dong Dalang is ready to bury his bones here anyway, his strength is gone, there is no way to take refuge, what is the fun of the male husband in this world? Disfigurement is simply the most trivial thing, when does a man's husband walk the world, when will he rely on his appearance to eat
Seeing that the Fuliao army was divided in all directions, the momentum grew at once, and then it frustrated its sharp spirit on the way to Yanjing. Dong Dalang's mind is also becoming more and more eager. He seemed to have vaguely sensed Xiao Yan's thoughts, but this was all speculation and could not be confirmed. He only felt that with this stalemate, his Dong Dalang's opportunity might really come
Could it be that this god has not given up on me Dong Dalang?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the command of this Fang Qushuai, Dong Dalang has always kept a low profile and will never rush to the forefront. Fortunately, all sides of the Fuliao army are really scattered to the extreme, and the immediate battle is a swarm of swarms rushing forward, and Qu Shuai's henchmen, just supervise the formation in the back and kill the retreating people, even if they command the whole army. It's not too much trouble to mix in there. In the meantime, only one of Qu Shuai's henchmen found that their gang was much stronger than the other rebels, but they didn't work very hard, and they wanted to subdue them. But one night in the wild, this Qu Shuai's henchmen and several of his subordinates were all killed by Dong Dalang's subordinates, and they didn't know where they were buried.
Today is also average, the small dock wall in front of him has been repeatedly pounced on more than a dozen times for several days, and Dong Dalang has been working hard in the battlefield. In his heart, he sneered I don't know how many times, if he Dong Dalang took command, he would have taken it down a long time ago
Hear the man go back and forth about the situation of the other two of his own horses on the battlefield. Dong Dalang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "If you do well, it will be hard when the time comes, you go back and send orders to Yu Qisi and Borrell, we don't have to meet, the smaller the goal now, the more benefits I can trust their ability, how can I protect the brothers, everyone has worked hard to survive, I will never let everyone down, I must bring everyone a way out"
In the sound of fighting, he pointed to the chaotic soldiers and homeless people around him who seemed to have no faces, and pointed to the corpses stacked inside and outside the dock wall: "We are already homeless, even the Jurchens can't tolerate us The world is so big, there is nowhere to go, our fate is also the same as those who died here, and there is no one who even remembers Dong Dalang to vouch to you, this is our last chance, as long as we seize it, maybe we will be able to turn over when the time comes, it will only make the Jurchens look down on us, return to the Jurchens, and always let everyone have a fame and wealth."
The man who came to summon the news also had red eyes, patted his chest and said loudly: "Da Lang, we are all characters left by this thief, this life is very cheap, or we will fill in the ravine, or we will make a rich and noble mother with you, these hundreds of bad lives, what is the gambling point?" We will wait for your command."
After replying, he squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared in the chaos of people. The sound of the fight was still earth-shattering, and a burst of shouts suddenly erupted in front: "Defeated, defeated, can't be poured in, retreat, retreat"
The roar and screams of defeat were three points louder than just now. The retreating crowd rushed this circle of people to stagger
Dong Dalang opened his voice and ordered hoarsely: "All retreat, all retreat, don't be at the forefront, desperately hold on, everyone must not disperse such a world, only if we take care of each other, can we keep our lives"
Hearing his order, the circle of people formed by this group of people slowly turned around in the crowd, steadied their footsteps and slowly retreated. The people who rushed to the front were cut off by the overseers, and they couldn't be restrained anymore after cutting dozens of them, so they could only get out of the way, and let the defeated and retreating army retreat like a broken embankment. Dong Dalang and his group were mixed in the middle, and they just stepped on a few. When they retreated to the rear, they heard a wail all over the field.
Dong Dalang gasped and commanded everyone to sit down, hiding in the chaotic army all over the mountains. I thought in my heart: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, if you want to use this Fuliao army to do something, you won't just freeze here?" It is time for Yelu Dashi Zhen and the six ministers to come forward to encourage the morale of the army and dispatch and command............ There is always a time for us to meet."
He whispered to the two henchmen and ordered the herald: "We will divide a few more branches, go to the commanders of all sides, and report back to me immediately if there is any movement on any side............ It won't be too long before we hide our heads and show our tails."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Qu Shuai Jiufang, the leader of the army is more than 30,000, and the few are also 10,000 strange, but all the old and weak, women and children, are all wrapped up in it, after the incident, the number of those who raise the banner of the Liao army is no less than 200,000............"
Xiao Yan put down the military report passed in his hand and rubbed his shoulder. The old camp of the Fuliao Army, where he was sitting, also slowly advanced a little, moving less than a hundred miles to the south. Now stationed in a place near the mountains and rivers, the military information of the so-called Fuliao Army in front of him has been reported to him in every detail under the transmission of the soldiers and horses of the supervisors from all sides.
It's so loud, but there's nothing to scary. Of the more than 200,000 people, nearly half of them are old, weak, women and children, and this is completely useless. Of the other hundred or so people, there are at most thirty or forty thousand who have blades, and one or two thousand who can wear armor is great. There is no baggage, no restraint, and there are also the prison knights he sent to contain them, so that those commanders have to stop and slowly rectify and develop their basic strength, but they are constantly driven forward. According to the reports of all parties, those commanders can pull out two or three hundred basic forces in their hands that can barely fight the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as you look at the knights sent out by the prison army, each side has more than thirty or forty, and the less is only twenty, although they have the tiger skin of Yelu Dashi, but they can still suppress the commanders everywhere, you can know what their actual combat strength is
This kind of power, although it is so powerful after being launched by himself, as long as Xiao Yan is willing, he can sweep it away with a single blow with five thousand elite riders
But these more than 200,000 people are almost the people in the border areas of Youyan, plus the refugees who have fled, at least half of them? The statistics of the Liao people's household registration have always been a confused account, but Nanjing is the most densely populated place in the Liao people's territory. Six or seven hundred thousand households, two or three million people. In recent years, although Yandi has been through war, the refugees who fled from Liaodong and other places have continued to pour in, which not only fills up the losses, but also increases the population a lot. In real history, Guo Yaoshi divided and destroyed Nanjing, and raised 300,000 soldiers. It can be seen that the land of Youyan is densely populated.
These more than 200,000 people, for the land of Youyan, are only one-tenth of the population, and by then, the damage will be great, and half of them will already reach the sky. And even if there is no oneself, the Jurchen is on the side, and the Song army is based on Yan, and in the future, both sides will attack and defend the stronghold, and the damage will be equally huge, not to mention, the backbone of these people is the remnants of the Liao people who refuse to surrender, and they are the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty
Convince himself of the truth, Xiao Yan can come up with more, and this is all real. Four years later, when the Jurchens went south, if it was like real history, the losses of the people of the Great Song Dynasty would be ten or dozens of times greater. Whether in terms of inheritance or bloodline, this is his true god ancestor and the people of his family and country
No matter what, you must have enough strength to stand on the battlefield at that time, to defend them, and to save them. Even in this swallow land, more people are sacrificed
But how much more do you have to sacrifice? Is this called living up to life?
The more he asked himself in his heart, the more Xiao Yan hated his hypocrisy. Obviously, they are all sacrificing their own power without mercy, what are they doing so pretendiously?
He **, I don't want to, who let himself cross over, is such a post-apocalyptic Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, only others die
is no exception, Xiao Yan scolded himself again in his heart. Continuing to look at the military newspaper in his hand, in the tent where he was, a lamp was like a bean, and the silhouette of Zhang Xian and the mink hat outside the tent were patrolling with swords, which was reflected on the tent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The initial momentum of the Fuliao Army in the early stage has now gradually shown some decline. There is no time to rectify and digest, bypassing Danzhou and going straight to Yanjing, the road is a lot longer, is there a stable base to provide support and supply supplies. The fierce waves in the early stage are still a little weak in the place where there is still a distance from Yanjing.
It seems that if Yelu Dashi and others are not allowed to go out and personally intervene in the process of directing this chaos, it will not reach the point of encircling Yanjing and shaking Bianliang............
From the very beginning, Xiao Yan's goal was to directly target Yanjing, only in this way could the Great Song Dynasty be shocked and the Great Song Dynasty used literature to control the martial arts system was too strict, and Wang Huangtong Guan and the Great Song Dynasty Wenchen Doctor This opponent is too strong. They also know that if they retreat from this difficult step, they will not be able to control the martial arts group that they combined with the Western Army, and it will initially become a community of interests that started by force, although it still seems weak, but it has also become a self-contained system, and it has a considerable ability to protect itself, and then combined with the husband in the audience, it is difficult to say............
If Yanjing is not encircled, Yandi will fall again, and the last elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty may be in danger of being destroyed in one day. Those opponents will never take a step back
Yelu Dashi is too dangerous, he is alone in danger, if he puts Yelu Dashi in the chaos of the army, and he holds them hostage to make this battle go as expected, the risk suddenly increases I don't know how many times. I have always hoped that I don't have to take such a risk, and the rolling waves can smoothly cross the obstacle and surround Yanjing City. Now it seems a little too much to take for granted............
And there is another thing to worry about, when Yelu Dashi really arrived under Yanjing City, the rebel army surrounded several times. The Western Army, can it really stand still as agreed before, and wait for the Bianliang opponent to be forced to make concessions before making a move? If they act in advance, sweep away this big enemy in front of them, and lose the biggest bargaining chip to blackmail the imperial court, then it will really be a big deal
Now that it has come to this point, there is only one choice to believe in the old species. This old fox, who can see it accurately, will never waver lightly, let the effort be lost
Xiao Yan put aside a mess of thoughts, gritted his teeth, and slapped a few cases fiercely. There was a loud snap that reached the outside of the tabernacle
The curtain of the tent was lifted, Zhang Xian strode in, and asked suspiciously, "Xuanzan, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yan waved his hand: "It's nothing............ How about Da Shi Linya and Zhen Liuchen? ”
Zhang Xian replied quickly, obviously the situation of these two people being monitored is also his heaviest responsibility: "Now it is the fourth brother Tang on duty, the fourth brother is cautious, and there will be no mistakes." In another half an hour, I will have to inspect again, the old camp has drawn more than 300 horses out, and now there are only more than 500 people, no matter how cautious it is, it is not enough............ Xuanzan, do you want to send some more people over? ”
Xiao Yan shook his head, looking a little tired: "I'm too tired now, what kind of confidential matter is this?" I'm afraid that the news will leak out, and now these centaurs are already the most trusted by me, and it is too risky to draw others over............ Zhang Xian, your mink hat has a heavy responsibility this time, and I have high hopes for you. ”
Zhang Xian nodded solemnly and saluted: "I'll go to inspect the camp again, and the guards will be tighter." Xuanzan, as long as I am in the camp, I still have eight points of certainty, and if I am more detailed, how can I turn these eight points into ten points"
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Where can you stay in this camp............ Tomorrow the camp will be pulled, and the soldiers will be divided into three routes. Tang Huai monitored Zhen Liuchen's all the way, Yu Jiang himself all the way, and you and I watched the Dashi Linya all the way, and went to all parts of the Liao army, puffed up the morale of these guys, strengthened the restraint and command, passed the current checkpoint, and entered Yanjing City earlier."
Zhang Xian was taken aback, and was about to advise: "Xuanzan ............"
Xiao Yan just waved his hand: "Needless to say, how can a man not take a risk when he acts?" So many times before, we didn't break through? This time it's only going to be a thief, and it's not time to accept Lao Tzu."
When Xiao Yan called himself Lao Tzu, it was basically a matter of making up his mind. It is useless to persuade again. Zhang Xian could only bow down to receive the order, and was ready to go down and discuss with Tang Huai in detail, how to ensure that Yelu Dashi and Zhen Liuchen were always under surveillance, and also to ensure Xiao Yan's safety in this dangerous place.
Zhang Xian was about to withdraw the order, but Xiao Yan stopped him again. He groaned there for a while, laughing at himself, as if laughing at his hypocrisy: "............ Sue Tang Huai and Yu Jiang, these Liao troops were effectively controlled. Except for those barricades and fortresses that must be broken along the way, for the rest, try to kill as few people as possible. Anyway, when the time comes, I will also capture the thief and capture the king of Yelu Dashi, such a large Fuliao army can make them collapse in just one moment. If you can die one less, you will die one less............ Although everything I did was for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, which was not as good as today's Yandi, he always felt ............"
He smiled a little bitterly at the end, and waved his hand to let Zhang Xian retreat: "............ When these words came out of my mouth, they were really hypocritical. Lao Tzu himself can't listen to it anymore............ They listen or not, whatever they want. ”
Zhang Xian was silent, just bowed, and quietly retreated. And Xiao Yan sat still in the tent, his face changed, calculating every step of his actions, I don't know how long he sat there, he muttered to himself: "............ What will happen? I hope nothing has changed............ Even if there is, Lao Tzu can only continue"
