Chapter 0370: Pyongyang City Broken!
In Chang'an, Shaofu Yangchengyan still has the heart to tinker with movable type printing, and even takes the time to see Yang Li;
But to the east of Hunshui, to be precise, in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, there is no one who can have such a 'leisurely atmosphere' as Yangseong-yeon. ’
Xu is the destiny of Han , the first snow of the year on the Korean Peninsula came exceptionally late.
The late first snow, as well as the muddy water that has not yet frozen until winter and October, undoubtedly continue to disintegrate the last glimmer of hope in Wei Man's heart.
- Let nature go to the hope of hardening and defeating the Han army head-on······
"Father."
An extremely faint call came into his ears, and finally pulled Wei Man's complicated mind back to his eyes;
The hand holding the corner of his forehead naturally drooped, and he pretended to be calm and stood up, came to the front of Kanyu next to the military tent, and turned to his son Wei Meng, who walked into the tent, and said indifferently: "How? ”
"Zhenfan, Ma and Han tribes, are you willing to surrender?"
The obviously weak-hearted inquiry, unsurprisingly, caused Wei Meng to shake his head for a while, as if complaining, and as if he was self-pity: "No." ”
"Since the army went south, there were more than a dozen envoys who sent and persuaded them to surrender, but except for the first person, none of the rest returned······"
The lonely and bleak tone finally made Wei Man unable to hold the seemingly resolute face anymore, and exhaled a long breath full of exhaustion, but he also let out a little more of his body.
"Since I have the blessing of the Liu family, I have even ignored the covenant of such a gentleman as 'not to behead'·······"
After speaking, he used all his strength to clean up his collapsed face, and Wei Man turned around and sat back on the beast skin king's couch with a grim expression.
"How's the North?"
Just one word, but it made Wei Meng's brows furrow even tighter, and he almost wanted to speak, but finally lowered his head and took out a roll of animal skin briefing from his arms.
"Father, let's take a look."
"Since the fifteenth day of September in the autumn, the main force of the Han army crossed the river eastward, and most of my father's eyeliner in the north has disappeared."
"The rest only sent back military reports intermittently;"
"——The main force of the Han army crossing the river in the east, along the northern, central and southern soldiers are divided into three roads, of which there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the north road, and the order is forbidden, and the daily travel is nearly 100 miles, which is the elite of Guanzhong!"
"There are less than 40,000 soldiers on the middle road, although they are also fully armoured, but they are ultimately less than the north road, or they are the soldiers of the Kwantung princes."
"And the south road, the military appearance is inferior to the middle road, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
"This three-route army, the north road from the autumn and September 15 east to the river, back dozens of miles and camped, and at the end of the autumn and September to send scouts to the south;"
"In the winter of October, Yuanshuo, this north road retreated from the original road, crossed the river and returned to the west, and was nowhere to be found."
"and the two roads in the middle and south, all of which cross the river from the east to Pyongyang, but on the way, they are not slow or fast, and they are camping step by step;"
"And the grain and grass of these two roads are all transported along the coast by waterway, and then the army of the southern route is used for it, and the troops are divided to escort the rest on the middle road; The elite soldiers sent by my father wanted to intrude on the grain route, but they couldn't do it······"
Listening to his son Wei Meng explain the order of the situation in the north, Wei Man also basically finished reading the military newspaper in his hand, and the father and son fell into a long silence.
If there was any unexpected situation in this battle, which Wei Manchu had never expected before the war, it was undoubtedly this battle, and the Han army actually did not use any conspiracy and tricks, and did not have any 'whims'!
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers divided into three routes, and in a column on the north bank of the Hunshui River, they immediately crossed to the east in a grand manner, and marched towards Pyongyang in a dignified manner!
Although this open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, this statement can only be established when the strength of the two sides is almost the same.
In the extremely disparity between Wei Manchu and Liu Han, for Wei Man, as the weaker side, the only chance is that the Han army can use some intrigue and trickery, so that he can take advantage of it.
To put it bluntly, it is to bet that the other party will make mistakes on their own······
But the fact is: the Han army did not, and most likely, did not bother to use any conspiracy at all, so it drove hundreds of thousands of troops into the Korean Peninsula and moved step by step in the direction of Pyongyang.
This is like a pack of wolves fighting rabbits, and they actually adopted tactics such as encirclement and chasing, so that Wei Man, who is a 'rabbit', can't have the slightest idea of resisting at all······
"The elite of the North Road turned back to the original road, and the whereabouts of ······ unknown"
"Hmmm······"
With a thoughtful mutter, Wei Man pursed his lips slightly, swallowing the conclusion that had rushed to his lips back into his stomach.
-- An army that can travel nearly 100 miles a day and has 100,000 fighters cannot be prepared for Weiman, or even for the entire Korean Peninsula!
Wei Man still remembers what kind of army the Han family dispatched when they quelled the rebellion of the former lord Zang Di.
——30,000 Liangjiazi in Guanzhong, 50,000 national soldiers in Kanto County, and more than 30,000 local villagers in Kanto, a total of 110,000 troops.
Even so, in this 110,000-strong army, the 50,000 county soldiers were used as the main force to counter-insurgency, and more than 30,000 Kwantung townships fought bravely;
As for the elite of the 30,000 passes, they bypassed the Yan country along the Yan-Dai border early and ran to guard against the Huns.
Therefore, Wei Man knew very well in his heart: the 100,000 elites in Guanzhong, who crossed the river to the east, stationed in place for half a month, and withdrew to the west of the country by the same route, and their whereabouts are unknown, were originally prepared by the Han family to guard against the Huns.
went to the sky, that is, in order to ensure that the war did not change, so he ran through the muddy water and turned around and stayed for a while, and he was the right to 'sweep the array'.
Now, several days have passed since the winter October Yuanshuo, if nothing else, the 100,000 elites composed of the good family of Guanzhong should have returned to the capital of Yan Kingdom: the Yan Ji generation.
After a short period of repair, this elite force that is enough to make the entire Korean Peninsula bow down will set off again, heading for the Han-Hungarian border, that is, the line of the Yan Great Wall and the Zhao Great Wall, and will be ready for battle.
But this conclusion, Wei Man can think, but he can't say······
In today's grim situation that is so bad that it is difficult to breathe, even in front of his own son, Wei Man must not say, 'The Han family destroyed my Wei Manchu Korea, and it would not take 100,000 Guanzhong elites at all'······
"Central and South 2nd Road, where is it now?"
"Three days ago, the Middle Route Army arrived 200 miles north of the country; The southern road reaches 150 miles northwest of Pyongyang, but the coast winds and turns, and the road should be 200 miles. ”
"And on the same day, hundreds of thousands of stones of military grain arrived by the Han army's waterway grain road, and tens of thousands of stones were also transported to the middle road for the south road."
gave the answer without thinking, and the face of Wei Meng, the crown prince of Wei Man, was also grim.
"In my opinion, this should be the exhaustion of the food needed by the Han Dynasty in the middle and south of the second road; After that, the Han army indulged in the inditation of grain delivery, but it was difficult to resist the waves and strong winds, so it had to be transported by land. ”
"If the war on these two roads does not go well within half a decade, and the waterway storm is wrinkled, and the land route is closed by ice and snow, even if the Han army is unwilling, it should withdraw and return to the west······"
Listening to his son's low tone, Wei Man only nodded slowly, and his left hand, which was hanging on his lap, couldn't help but be tightly clenched into a fist by Wei Man.
"Fifteenth ······"
"Fifteenth ·········"
"Hold on to Pyongyang for 15 days, and you will not be defeated in this battle?"
As if he was not confident, he said a word, and looked at Wei Meng with a little hesitation, and when Wei Meng nodded heavily, Wei Man's face finally took on a little flesh.
Under the strong attack of the main forces of the Han army, hold on to Pyongyang for fifteen days?
Wei Man asked himself, with the 'Korean army' of less than 10,000 people under his command, and the team of the 'Ancient Yan Army' that had already been killed and wounded to less than 1,000 people, under the Han army's hundreds of thousands of troops attacking the city, Pyongyang would not last for 15 days at all!
But the crux of the matter is: Wei Man is not a war simulation gamer in the future!
In this battle, it does not mean that the Han army will light up the achievement of 'capturing Pyongyang', and the system will declare Weiman defeated!
Now that winter is coming, the Han army's waterway and grain route has been cut off, and there is a high probability that the land route will not be passed, Wei Man can choose one of the two options of 'going south' and 'returning north'!
- If you choose to go south, it will be a ruin, at any cost, to capture the southern half of the Korean Peninsula occupied by the Jinban, Mahan and other departments, and directly abandon the original territory, that is, the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, and pull the Han family into a tug-of-war that will last for several years, even more than ten years, and decades!
Wei Man is full of confidence that in this long tug-of-war, most of the exhausted and short of food and clothing Han troops will be buried in the winter snow of the Korean Peninsula!
Returning to the north is more risky, but correspondingly, the harvest is also greater.
- If you return to the north, it will be to temporarily give up attacking the southern peninsula occupied by Zhenban, Mahan and other departments, and immediately return to Pyongyang City, take away the people, grain and grass, and all valuable things in Pyongyang City, and burn everything that cannot be taken away, leaving an empty city for the Han army!
In this way, when the Han army rushed to Pyongyang with murderous spirits, only to find that there was not even a wall that could block the wind, and began to worry about the lack of food, it was only a matter of time before the Han army returned the same way.
After the Han army withdrew, Wei Manda could find another city as his national capital and repair it for a winter; Wait for the beginning of spring next year, and then lead the army to the south to completely unify the Korean Peninsula!
When the entire Korean Peninsula is filled with the word 'Wei', the strategic depth of the Korean Peninsula is nearly 1,000 miles from east to west and thousands of miles from north to south, which is enough to make Wei Man another Zhao Tuo!
If he is greedy, Wei Man can even 'have both' at this moment!
- Send a large army to the south, attack Jinban and Mahan, and then send a group of soldiers and horses back to Pyongyang to destroy the city of Pyongyang directly!
It's just that the option of 'returning to the north' has an extremely huge risk.
In case of an encounter with the main force of the Han army······
"Hmmm······"
"If the troops are divided and return to Pyongyang, it will not be possible to make the trip without thousands of people."
"However, if there are thousands of soldiers, it may be difficult to capture Zhenban and Mahan······"
For a while, Wei Man gradually fell into a dilemma.
The more he thought about it, the more Wei Man felt: the plan of burning Pyongyang so that the Han army could not get any supplies could win a huge advantage for himself!
However, returning to Pyongyang in the north, the risk of encountering the main force of the Han army on the way made Wei Man rule out the option of 'returning the whole army to the north' for the first time.
Among the remaining choices of 'the whole army going south' and 'dividing the troops to return to the north and burning Pyongyang City', Wei Man was really reluctant to give up the latter.
- Zhenban, Ma Han and other departments, although there are only a few thousand troops, but no matter how you say it, the enemy is also fighting on the ground!
If necessary, the Mahan people can even bring in the elderly, women and even children to resist the attack of the Korean soldiers!
On the other hand, Wei Man, this time it can be said that it is the strength of the whole country, and it is only then that this ragtag army in the early tens of thousands and with uneven literacy levels has been made.
With less than twice the advantage of troops, Wei Manchu was not 100% sure of attacking and plundering southward, let alone dividing a few thousand people to Pyongyang in the north to block the Han people······
"So far······
"Alas!"
"That's it!"
As if he had made up his mind, he slammed his clenched fist on his leg, and saw Wei Man stand up suddenly, and in his temperament, he finally brought the kingly aura that Wei Meng worshipped again.
"Spread the edict of the widow king!"
"—The army will be repaired for one day, and tomorrow will be the end of the day, and it will go south!"
"Whoever encounters the pawns and people of the tribes such as Zhenban and Ma Han, but who kneels down and surrenders, ······"
"Kill !!"
At this moment, Wei Man had already made the final choice between 'returning to the north' and 'going south'.
- Abandon Pyongyang and continue south!
As long as the Zhenban, Mahan and Korean tribes are captured and the Korean are defended, it will still not be considered extinct!
As for Pyongyang, as well as the northern half of the Korean Peninsula······
"Humph!"
"In the north of North Korea, there is a winter in June!"
"Look at your Liu soldiers, how long can you suffer from this severe cold?!"
Secretly cheering for himself, Wei Man's expression on his face only became more and more resolute!
Seeing that Wei Man finally cheered up, Wei Meng couldn't help but burst with passion.
"Whoa!"
"Son, let's go!"
Full of excitement, Wei Meng turned around, and was about to lift the curtain of the military tent, but saw a black shadow 'whoosh' into the tent from in front of him.
"Who dares to break into the account!"
Subconsciously let out a loud shout, Wei Meng only looked shocked, and hurriedly drew his sword and turned back, but saw the black shadow before, which was already sobbing and kneeling in front of Wei Man at this moment, his snot was frozen into ice, but he trembled and couldn't make the slightest sound.
"Big ······"
"Big ·········"
"King~~~"
I hummed in horror for a long time, and finally called out the 'king', and saw the scout sitting on the ground in despair.
"The sailors of the Han army have landed on the coast seventy miles west of Pyongyang, with tens of thousands of soldiers and a ladder to siege the city~"
"Pyongyang City ······"
"Pyongyang City!"
"Break without a fight~~~"
The cry uttered hoarsely, and the scout could no longer contain his despair, and sat down on the ground, crying and crying.
In front of the scout, Wei Man, who was still fighting high, was surging with qi and blood, and even his body was a little swaying back and forth.
"Parent ······"
"Poof!!"
Without waiting for Wei Meng to say 'Father', he saw Wei Man spurt out a mouthful of blood violently, and fell to the ground again.
Before he completely lost consciousness, Wei Man only rushed forward, picked up his crying son Wei Man, and left the last sentence.
The last word, to be exact.
"Escape ······"
"Escape ·········"
