2343 THUNDER NINE
Immediately on the slope outside the north camp of Yanzhou, Yelu Hongtai, the right minister of the East Court, looked at the high-spirited Baihe pro-army under his command with complicated eyes, like a rolling dragon pouring into the north camp of Yanzhou that has withered and broken a lot, the wind is cold and cold, and it is expected that the north camp may encounter the most fierce resistance, the tall outer wall has been covered with moss, and some of the urban areas that have just been repaired have long been gone.
It is difficult for people to think that this Beiying was full of people, the soldiers were impressive, and the scene of the endless traffic convoy had shocked a young man surnamed Yelu who came with the family caravan.
In the memory of Yelu Hongtai, this Beiying, which is like a city, there are six or seven commercial towns of no small scale outside, and now, these towns outside the city are already ruins of weeds, in the hearts of the older generation of grassland people, Yanzhou Beiying, is the memory of blood, Shangjing in the south by the core of the Yanzhou barrier, and the Hural Pass in the north, and the Zhongbia Xiongcheng echoing with the two lines of Baihulin, an important town in the north of Yanzhou.
The Central Berean Empire has carried out large-scale military operations against the northern grasslands many times, all of which are based on these two points, and many grassland people may not know the Zhongbia Dijing Baili Changting, but they have known the two Central Bea place names of Yanzhou Beiying and Baihulin since they were sensible, because their fathers or ancestors died in the hands of the Central Beians in these two regions
On top of this majestic city, I don't know how much resentment and fear of the grassland people have been attached, and now, it is just a barren and overgrown existence.
The Yanzhou barrier has been breached once, and the last time they retreated, the grassland people destroyed the Yanzhou defense system quite a long time, the broken walls were ruined, the barren barriers, and a large section of the collapsed stones were reflected in the blood-colored sunset, and there was not enough manpower. It is simply impossible to restore the defense system to a usable state in a short period of time. The Luzhou army that drove into Yanzhou obviously didn't expect the grassland people to go south again so quickly, and the five thousand defenders of the Hural Pass fought desperately, collapsed most of them, and only blocked for one day, the northwest gate of Yanzhou was opened, and the horseshoe of the grassland people finally stepped into the weeds that Yanzhou still had a bit of early spring color
If there were a pair of eyes in the sky at this time, you would see such a picture,
A group of grassland light horsemen with horn bows on their waists and light hard leather armor approached the hinterland of Yanzhou in an orderly manner. Like a sharp blade ploughing open the land in front of you,
In the midst of the overwhelming cheers of countless horses, a team of men and horses hurried back to the boiling north of Yanzhou, most of these grassland people were wearing dirty leather robes, short and sturdy. Originally, the whole body was already full of fishy smell, most of them were in echelon of four or five hundred horsemen, and the personnel were also made up of several tribes, and Yanzhou, where almost no one was swept along the way, and then they had to return. Yanzhou, where most of them are in ruins, can find a pitiful amount of grain and grass, at most two or three hundred catties of various grains, and there are more than a dozen skinny sheep and horses behind the slowly returning team. The people above were lazily riding back, and some were still tearing and fighting for two women's clothes that were not very good in material and workmanship, and finally simply rolled to the ground and fought each other, and no one cared. At the front of the procession, the small heads of the tribe wore open leather robes, except for mud. There is also a thick bloody atmosphere. The ugly face with the scar twists all the time.
The battle clouds in Yanzhou are spreading out like a storm in accordance with Yelu Hongtai's deployment.
Yelu Hongtai is worthy of being the right minister who has been in charge of the royal court for 30 years, once he is out of danger, he immediately shows the true colors of the old fox, and as soon as he gets out of the mountain pass, he immediately ordered the 80,000 right minister Baihe pro-army that was originally pressed behind, divided into three roads and marched to Yanzhou Shangjing, forcing the main force of the Zhongbiya army to press on Shangjing and dare not move.
The cluster of light horses and fast horses killed the core of Yanzhou in one breath, although there was a lack of a few real battles after the fierce battle, but there was no problem with pretending, not to mention that the predecessor of the Baihe pro-army was the Wang Ting Guard, and in the 80,000 Baihe pro-army, there were still more than 10,000 Wang Tingwei troops with real combat power, and the more than 10,000 real guards appeared in front of the Central Biya army, which was enough to support the whole scene
The other tribes that followed easily swept the areas along the way, it seems that Yanzhou is already full of beacons, it seems that there are grassland people's combat troops everywhere, and the scale of the launch is not smaller than the previous one, so that the Central Beyanian army will not be aware of it, in fact, except for the number of more than 10,000 elites, most of the grassland army's combat strength is quite average, and may even be inferior to the regular army of Central Bia,
As long as Yanzhou is broken, even if the Sino-Belgian army wants to desperately block it, there is no possibility! Yelu Hongtai has this idea, so the 80,000 Baihe pro-army is completely pressed, and the main force of the Luzhou army is not given a chance to breathe.
Who would have thought that these hundreds of thousands of grassland people were actually forced to go south, but thought that the east knot spring is coming, and the war that the grassland people have always launched in the autumn has been advanced, and the court has been arguing into a pot of porridge in order to continue to guard Yanzhou, or give up Yanzhou, and most of the civil officials said that they would stick to Yanzhou, otherwise Yanzhou would be lost, and a large number of grassland cavalry would go crazy down, and there would be another imperial catastrophe in front of them, and the generals were silent one by one, what is the situation in Yanzhou, even if the generals are not clear, they can roughly guess part of it,
Yanzhou is not called in vain for a hundred years of barrier in the north, even if it is removed once, but the basic framework of those fortified walls is still there, and some heavy cities can still be used if they are repaired, and the Luzhou army that arrived in Yanzhou is not a weak brigade, but an elite who has a great reputation in the suppression of barbarians in the south, and Luzhou heavy armor is known as the first battle in the world
But in such a short period of time, the 60,000 Luzhou army was forced to shrink its strength to guard Shangjing, it is conceivable that the strength of the grassland people is at least two to three times that of the Luzhou army, or more, otherwise such a large Yanzhou, how could it be beaten into a hornet's nest of urgent reports everywhere, and the strength of the various armies in China and Belgium has not yet recovered, even if those regiments that have completed the replenishment, three-quarters of them are recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and because the gap in armament is too large, many soldiers do not even have armorThe Luzhou Army, which was the first in the battle, was still frightened in Luzhou. What's the use of going up on your own?
Sure enough, three days later, there was even more terrifying news from the Luzhou army, the Luzhou army captured a grassland head man in a surprise attack, and learned that the number of grassland people who went south this time may be as many as hundreds of thousands, and only a part of the troops outside Shangjing were there, and there were more troops coming to Shangjing, and then the civilian officials who insisted on resisting heard the news. His face also changed,
At this time, if you still insist on shouting to defend Yanzhou and never let the Dijing catastrophe reappear, it will be a joke, and the eyes of the generals on the opposite side have also become cold, and they look like they are waiting to open their mouths.
There were more than 60,000 people in the Luzhou army going north, and there was no follow-up replenishment, so they planned to seize Yanzhou first. In transporting the baggage, who knows, this time hundreds of thousands of grassland people will be killed...... What else to fight! Urgently ordering the Luzhou army to evacuate Yanzhou is the journey, and the imperial capital has already been lost. It doesn't matter if you lose another Yanzhou, if even the Luzhou army that suppressed the southern forces is also lost in Yanzhou, then the shaking of the empire is fundamental, and the imperial prime minister Li Tai stood up from the first place in Wenchen and said a fair word that both sides have a step.
"But if you give up Yanzhou, once the grassland people go south, ......"
There are also people who want to stand up and refute, but they are immediately stopped by their superiors with words. Don't you hear, what the prime minister said this time is not what will happen if the war is defeated, but that if the Luzhou army is lost, the foundation of the empire will be shaken! If Yanzhou is abandoned, the grassland people may not be going south, and if the Luzhou army is lost, the country will be shaken.
Hearing the words of this important minister of the empire, the air in the court suddenly froze,
"Kunimoto, ......!" The low voice of discussion, everyone's eyes, more or less glanced at the last few of the Wenchens, standing at the end, representing that they were not favored among the Wenchens, but these people did not see a trace of a sense of depression on their faces, but they looked high-spirited, especially a middle-aged man standing in front of several people, wearing a white hairband, with a good appearance, with a trace of unruly temperament in his eyes, the civil official uniform on his body depicts the three-eyed unicorn color, the unicorn is a color among the civil officials, and the standing position should stand in the top three, but the three-eyed unicorn, with purple color red and white 6 bright colors, looks a little nondescript, and the position standing is not really the end, but I want to open up a special position in the court,
The three-eyed unicorn is the mark of the Southern Song people,
In this court, to be able to have their own independent position, it is entirely because the position of the Song family is transcendent, there is no need to participate in the court proceedings, the reason why I see it today is because these people are undoubtedly coming with some purpose, or want to understand the direction of the wind in the court of Central Belgium, or what wind they heard, more likely, it is to put pressure on the court, the arrogant middle-aged man at the head of the line is the son of the current Song lord, Song Kulian, the name of this time is to congratulate the empire on moving to Beijing, it sounds a little ironic in it, but on the contrary, the entire Central Belgian court can only pretend to be deaf and dumb about this,
The Song nationality is one of the four major first-class gate valves of the empire, located in the southern mountains of the empire, is the head of the thirty-eight barbarian tribes in the south, only nominally submitted, when the Sino-Bia Empire was founded, the Song power has covered most of the south, and even at that time there was a faint meaning of competing for the world with the Central Bia, ten years of tug-of-war, the barbarians were injured and damaged, the Central Bia region is becoming more and more stable, the Song people saw that the time was not there, and finally chose to compromise, accepted the division of the Zhongbia Yipin Gate Valve, and retracted the power back to the barbarian area south of the South Yushan, and the Central Biya court has always been into the water does not violate the river, as if it is an independent small dynasty
And during the Sino-Biya Imperial War, the barbarians led by the Southern Song people have been watching this war coldly, and the 100,000 Mo Nanshan Army has been mobilized frequently recently, and I don't know where to get the technology of fine iron forging, completely get rid of the previous collection of iron ore, and also need to be sent to the bottleneck of forging in the middle of the empire, a large number of iron weapons are equipped with the Mo Nanshan Army's combat power soared very quickly, and there is already a trend of confrontation with the heavy armor Luzhou Army, Song Kulian arrived at the newly migrated Dijing of Central Bia at this time, and the meaning of it is very interesting, if the Luzhou Army in the south is really half-covered with Yanzhou, the Central Bia court will not be able to suppress the rise of the Song people in the south, and when the time comes, who dares to think what the situation is!
Now the grassland people are pressed into Yanzhou, the life and death of the Luzhou army is unknown, who is full to provoke these southern barbarians, even the emperor His Majesty, only frowned slightly, and turned the topic to the head of the Western Army of the Long family, hearing that the envoy he sent was still in Guangling, and several generals who were secretly bought are now also wavering, Longyang, who should have died in the Western Continent, miraculously survived, and the head of the Long family has returned, so naturally he can't plan to seize the Western Army, not to mention that Longyang really brought a list of iron ore trade from the Western Continent, and he really couldn't find a reason to provoke the thorns, so he was angry and ruined, and took advantage of the war in Yanzhou to scold the generals again
The old attic of the main hall exudes a sour and rotten atmosphere, coming out of the hall that is still being discussed, Song Kulian covered the sun with her hand and glanced at the distant mountains and waters, the huge lotus flowers covered the lake, the golden lake is the swaying of fishing songs, the Luling that has just moved to Beijing, the position of the port is full of many ships with towering masts, it is the most beautiful time for the spring scenery,
"Song Hua, are you sure that the grassland people really don't have any intention of continuing to go south this time?"
Retracting her gaze from a distance, Song Kulian turned her head to look at a young man behind her, with a fair appearance, a long robe, and a white scarf on his head, standing in the sun, with a breeze through the Yanghe River, with a hint of coldness in his bright eyes, just now in the court, everyone only had Song Kulian in their eyes, and few people noticed the disdain at the corner of the young man's mouth named Song Hua,
"The grassland people who went south this time are not strong, they may look fierce, but in fact, they are not enough to fight in the south" Song Hua's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "On the contrary, it is the Luzhou army that has advanced north this time, the family can rest assured, it will definitely not come back!" "You must know that this kind of thing is not a joke! The 60,000 Luzhou army is really determined to evacuate, even if the grassland people try their best to stop it, they may not be able to stop it!" Song Kulian's face sank, although he was also from the Song family, but this Song Hua had already broken away from the family, but unfortunately, such a talent was used in the Falcon Empire!
"The Luzhou army is advancing north, and the empire has long known about it, and it is just to confuse the sight of the right army to go south and trap it in Shangjing" The corners of Song Hua's mouth turned up slightly, his eyes swept over the mountains and lakes in front of him, and he said in an affirmative tone, "What really destroyed the Luzhou army was the entire Zhongbia court!"
