The wine shop is located in the city of Dashi (now Dalian) ten miles of shop, but it is a thin roadside dish, which is nothing. However, the autumn harvest in October was over, and Feng Dahai became more and more busy. When there was nothing to do, the peasants would go around the city to see the price of the wheat and the goods in the market. If the price is right, people will sell this year's harvest and buy something along the way. Feng Dahai is refreshing, and the price of wine and food is also affordable, and people passing by are willing to rest here, piggybacking on the roar of moistening the dry hair with thin wine.

The weather in October has gradually cooled down. It is only at noon that the fiery sun brings a hint of heat. This year, Liaodong has changed its master, exempted the annual tax, and purchased a large amount of grain and grass for military use, and the people have a lot of money on hand. Before noon, the liquor store was full. Feng Dahai smiled and greeted the guests warmly. Thrifty people often only need a dime of wine, a few cakes, and a plate of pickles, and the expenditure does not exceed five yuan; However, the big spenders often put wine and food on the table and spend dozens of dollars. They are all customers, and Feng Dahai will not make customers uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Feng Dahai made a move in his hand, and Feng's wife was slightly surprised, and she also looked up to the north. In the distance, a group of people came. The long stream of people was tied up in strings, and there was no end in sight. These people are unkempt? The face and clothes were ragged, but the cloth and straw sandals were thin, and the head and neck and clothes were decorated with some scattered beads. It can be seen that all the old and weak, women and children, young and middle-aged, have gone to build the coastal galloping road and the roads of the counties of Liaodong. After a long journey, the group was dusty and exhausted, and they moved forward step by step amid the shouts of the escort soldiers.

"Iniquity!"

Hearing Feng's wife's sigh, Feng Dahai shook his head and did not speak. A middle-aged man sitting next to him was drinking, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:

"Aunt Feng is kind-hearted, in fact, what is this? It's not like this everywhere......"

"That's it! If we fall to this point, I don't know who will be pitied! ”

These people are pitiful, but if you want to pay attention to them, they really don't deserve sympathy. The various ethnic groups in the north, Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, Goguryeo in the northeast and Han in the east, but when there is a chance, no one has come to plunder. Not long ago, General Kou broke Wuhuan in the three counties, and rescued more than 100,000 Han slaves, all of whom were plundered from Youzhou a few years ago. Anyway, when the Han Kingdom is strong, it will go to plunder foreign races; And when the Great Han Kingdom declines, it will be plundered by foreign races. After living in the Northland for a long time, I have seen a lot of these things, and no one cares about them, and it is better to loot than before being plundered.

"Of course! It's not that Zhang Cheqi didn't give them a chance, he surrendered honestly, and it was over, serving five years of hard labor -- the same treatment as a homeless man -- he didn't want to think about it, how could the mantis arm block the car, this time as a slave, but I don't know when it will be......"

……

Feng's wife smiled and stopped talking. Everyone said a few words, and the topic didn't know where to go.

"Look at it like this, the land is calm, these are all Koreans, I don't know if it's Chen Han, or Ma Han, does anyone know where it is broken?"

The man's question provoked a burst of laughter:

"Then who knows, Sanhan is a big place, and it is divided into dozens of countries, and I can't wait for a tunzi to establish a country, God knows which country this is......"

"That's just as well! By the way, the navy's fleet should be here, this time it's been a bit long......"

"Well, here it is, the day before yesterday. I heard that some time ago, there was a strong wind on the sea, and I think it was a delay......"

The city is an excellent port, and it has become an offensive to Han? The most important logistics base. The navy came and went, brought all kinds of supplies, and transported the captured booty back to Qingzhou. Among them, population is the top priority. Broke the Wuhuan of the three counties, and plundered a large number of Wuhuan people, flat? Land, snatched? People are constantly being sent to Qingzhou. From the city of Qishi to Muzhong, you only need to cross the Bohai Strait, and the sea journey of only six or seven days is very convenient and fast.

However, Zhang Han encouraged the Han people to base themselves in western Liaoning, and most of the rescued Han people were resettled on the spot. These people are accustomed to the production and life of the Wuhuan people, and there will be no problem in surviving here. Zhang Han tried and gave a lot of incentives, such as land. However, nearly half of them have returned to their hometowns.

Next, the topic turned to the trophies, the Liaodong soldiers were familiar with the terrain and climate, and cooperated with the battle, which won a lot of prizes. From time to time, there are wounded and those who come back in rotation, and they send back the capture of themselves and their comrades. They are all villagers, who know the roots, and when it comes to how much gold and silver property someone has obtained, everyone is envious.

"What is this, Ma Laosan brought back a little girl, that's called a beautiful ......"

The men, who had drunk a few glasses of thin wine, went down the road as they spoke. The men sat together, not saying anything about the women.

"Why, I'm envious, or buy one for myself too--it's going to be early, it's cheap now, and after this village, there will be no more of this shop......"

"Go! Where is it so easy, Ma Laosan, he still grabbed it with his own hands, and made a military exploit, this is finally easy to get, where can I afford it, I am happy......"

"Why, I really want to buy it...... If you really want to buy it, you can buy it. Buy a little guy or something, and it will come in handy in two years...... "The population is like a river, and the sky is full of flowers, and he made a summary later: "In a word, cheap!" ”

Not to mention, there are really people who are tempted, so I asked him:

"How much?"

"Well, the asking price is 17800 yuan, but in fact, 1,500 yuan is about ......."

"Really?" This price is too cheap, and in normal times, it always costs about three or four thousand yuan.

"That's it! Village

, I can't lie to you, my nephew knows an officer, and he can buy someone who is in a hurry to use the money, and besides, he doesn't care about these three in a row, so he sells them cheaply......"

"If that's the case, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome!"

This person spent a long time talking, for this, when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile. The conquest of the army, breaking the Wuhuan, fighting Xianbei, leveling, fighting for the three Koreas, whether it is a thousand years of abundance, or a great cause, for the common people, it is just a conversation after tea and dinner. Speaking of which, it is more important than anything else that grain can be sold at a good price, and that you can share some of the fruits of victory at a cheap price. Not many people care about the specific course of the operation.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Bo Huan, are you ready?"

"Well, general......"

Zhao Wenhua stared at the chart, which was the chart at the mouth of the Tuhe River, calculating the materials needed. The establishment of a temporary port in preparation for landing operations, which the Navy has had several tests at the past. However, this is the first time it has been practiced. I can't help Zhao Wenhua not be careful. The natives of the islands were not armed, and their weapons were only crude spears and the like, and their numbers were extremely limited. The navy collapses every time it rushes, and it cannot be compared.

After a while, Zhao Wenhua finished calculating before he came back to his senses, and he smiled embarrassedly:

"General, everything is in place, just wait for your order."

"That's good!"

Zhao Wenhua's character, Huang Tingzhen knew it well, and he didn't care about his sluggishness, he only responded with a smile and fell silent. Zhao Wenhua didn't squeak either, he wasn't nervous. The two of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they have experienced countless life-and-death situations, and they have long learned to adapt. However, landing operations are a difficult task at all times. How many times have I experimented, Zhao Wenhua is not 100% sure. Weather, wind and waves, enemies...... Any accident can happen, and Zhao Wenhua does not dare to take it lightly.

In mid-May, Liu Wenbiao commanded an army of 100,000 and was ordered to go east. The soldiers were fast, and the rainy season was approaching in a blink of an eye, Liu Wenbiao did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately issued an order: 24,000 cavalry set off immediately, crossed the coastal road, and went straight to the Tuhe River (Jinzhou). At the same time, the navy was destined to send 10,000 infantry and a large amount of food, grass and equipment to the mouth of the Tuhe River, where it established a port and barracks to prepare for the next attack.

The cavalry attacked the Tuhe, and Liu Wenbiao's meaning was to fight steadily and steadily. Zhang Han annexed Shanggu Wuhuan, Xing army went north to Youzhou, frustrated and swore that the world would be turned upside down in the Yan Dynasty. At this moment, the news has already spread all over the north, and there is no need to mention the sneak attack, and it is only right to guard against the sneak attack of others. The whole plan was to attack the east from the west - the cavalry army was dispatched to attract the attention of the Wuhuan people from the west, and then the navy transported the infantry to the east of the Tuhe River and attacked from behind. Therefore, the importance of the Navy is self-evident.

Tuhe City is located in the Yushui Basin, the terrain is flat, there are some hills in the north, and the north is high in the south, which is very suitable for cavalry combat. The key to landing operations lies in the ability to establish a solid beachhead. Previously, the navy had established a transit supply base in Huludao, shortening the navy's support to the Tuhe River to a one-day voyage. However, this time, the navy needed to transport nearly 10,000 soldiers, so it still set off from Qinhuangdao.

From Qinhuangdao to Jinzhou, it is only a two-day voyage.

In the early morning of 23 May, with a telescope in hand, Zhao Wenhua stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the estuary. He had already understood the situation here from the charts. got the chart, Zhao Wenhua's admiration for the lord's vision was incomprehensible. Topography, landforms, reefs, hydrographs, and charts are all available, and this is by no means something that can be prepared in a hurry. I don't know how much effort and sacrifice the intelligence officers put in.

On the west side of the north branch of the Yushui River flowing into the mouth of the Haihe River (Daling River), there is a piece of high ground, which is a square mile and high above the sea surface. Zhao Wenhua commanded the fleet to approach from the flanks and anchored not far from the shore. Drop off the boat and go ashore to explore. At the same time, explore the sea area of the predetermined location to determine whether it is suitable to set up a temporary pier.

Soon, the advance team came back with the news that the enemy had not been found nearby. Yesterday, a large number of cavalry found in Hexi attracted the full attention of the Wuhuan people. Su Muyan had gathered all his warriors and was ready to fight. To put it bluntly, in this era, sea-crossing operations are not common. Subsequently, the surveyors also sent back the good news that the charts were accurate, and the water depth of the pre-selected site was slow, and a temporary pier could be established here.

So, Huang Tingzhen gave an order, and the landing operation began. A large number of ships were already ready, loaded with heavily armed fighters, and headed for the shore. The 10,000 infantry were divided into three groups, and those who landed first were mostly those who knew the water. Tai Shici entrusted the landing command to General Lou Chuan, and he personally went out and took the lead in leading the troops to the beach.

It's cold in the north, but the sea is not cold in early summer, and the warriors who have changed out of their winter clothes feel a lot lighter. The sea breeze blew through the damp trouser legs, and Tai Shici couldn't help but shake a little. But he did not care about this slight discomfort, quickly organized his troops, restored his formation, and began to build a beachhead. The position was set in the north, with the Daling River in the east and the empty in the west. In addition to the horses and shields that have been prepared, quick and easy pothole traps are also one of the key points of the defensive position. All the excavated soil was methodically packed into sacks for later use. All operations have been drilled several times, and every officer and soldier in the whole army is aware of his duties and is in good order. By the time the second group of troops came ashore, the beachhead had been preliminarily completed, and the potholes hundreds of paces deep were enough to make the unprepared cavalry pay a heavy price.

Tai Shici stood on the beachhead, his eyes on the west side of the position, and stretched all the way to the sea. Naturally, the west side will not be empty, and anyone who thinks that there is no defense here will definitely suffer

i|The ship was behind, and the ordinary building ship was in front, staggered with flanks aimed at the coastline. The fleet was about 100 paces away from the coast, and Tai Shi Ci looked at it from afar, and it was like a city.

Zhao Wenhua once said, "In water battles, bows and crossbows come first." Every sailor in the fleet is a skilled crossbowman. Want. At this moment, the fleet should be ready, the trebuchet stone projectile is ready, the rhubarb crossbow machine is wide open, and the ballista is ready to fire, and all the attack routes within a thousand paces are controlled from the west side of the landing point. Catapults were fixed to the boats, and only one side facing the coastline could be used, and there were only about two hundred and eighty of them; The Big Yellow Eagles and Ballistae were free to move, so four hundred and twenty Yellow Eagles and one hundred and ten Ballistae were grouped together. Along with them were thousands of naval soldiers.

The Stretch Crossbow has the worst range, with an effective range of 550 paces, but it is superior in numbers. The continuous rain of arrows formed by the strong crossbow can make the western > the second second, about 800 paces; The rhubarb crossbow and ballista have the longest range, both up and down a thousand paces. In this way, although the navy could not completely block the enemy's offensive line, it could reduce it to a gap of less than a thousand paces in the north.

Zhao Wenhua stood on the bow of the boat, and happened to see Tai Shici looking at him from afar, and couldn't help but smile. Both of them are young talents with bright futures, and after these two days of communication on the ship, they didn't feel that they had surrendered.

Zhao Wenhua smiled and turned around to inspect the preparations. Suddenly, he saw something and his eyes flashed. Approaching the trebuchet, carefully waiting for the sailor to put down the fire bomb, Zhao Wenhua spoke:

"Sima Yang, how did you take out the fierce fire bomb?"

When Yang Fen heard this, he turned around, quickly buckled his chest, and saluted briefly:

"I've seen the general, it was the general who ordered to try the effect of the fierce fire bomb in the landing battle, so he took this box out and ......"

"Oh," Zhao Wenhua frowned, and glanced around, there was indeed only one red box, "That's it, be careful......"

"Yes!"

Yang Fenzheng responded.

Actually, there is no need to say much, and Yang Fen will not be careless. But seeing this, everyone will unconsciously tighten a string. Otherwise, even the boxes with stone bullets would not have been painted in a striking red. Speaking of which, the sound of the newly fired thunderbolts is like a thunderbolt, cracking the rocks and opening the mountain, which seems to be very dangerous. However, it was clear to all the old sailors that it was really dangerous to count the fire bombs.

After the catapult was used in large quantities, standard stone projectiles became a problem. Grinding hard rock into a round spherical shape is extremely labor-intensive, costly, and unsuitable for naval warfare. If a stone projectile falls on a ship, it will not be more powerful than a rhubarb crossbow. Later, the small workshop invented cement bombs, as well as hollow cement bombs. Whether it is solid or hollow, the cement bullet cast in a standard model is cheap, and the effectiveness is no less than that of stone bullets. Of course, when people talk about cement bullets, they still habitually use stone bullets.

The cement bullet is hollow, naturally to fill it with things. And so far, the most dangerous product produced is the fierce fire bomb. Unfortunately, the fierce fire bomb ignites as soon as it is blown by the wind, and the water cannot be extinguished, so it is very dangerous to both the enemy and the enemy. But then again, there is no more ruthlessness than fire and water, fighting at sea, ships are made of wood, and the power of fire attack is incomparable. To some extent, even the newly invented Thunderfire Bomb cannot be compared. After the explosion of the thunder bomb, the killing range was very large, and the person who was killed immediately within a square circle. Thunderbolts kill and injure people, while fierce firebombs are aimed at ships and are continuous. If the opponent's response is not effective, three or five fierce fire bombs can destroy the enemy's ship of several thousand stones. Over the past few years, the fire bomb has made great achievements. This is a thunderfire bomb that cannot be compared in any way.

The manufacture of fierce fire bullets is difficult, and the body of the projectile needs a certain strength, but it cannot be too strong. To put it simply, when it is used, it cannot be broken; And when it was in storage, it couldn't break by accident - it was conceivable that hundreds of fierce fire bombs burned together, and the Wanshi Giant Ship couldn't stand it. On weekdays, the bombs were kept separately in separate iron bilges, each with an iron pipe leading directly into the wheelhouse. In addition, as soon as the iron door is closed, it is sealed on all sides. As soon as a problem is identified, an in-cabin flap is opened from outside the door and the storage compartment is flooded with seawater to prevent serious damage.

By the way, the thunder fire bomb is not a stone bullet, but a cast iron projectile body, which contains a large amount of black powder. This is the latest new weapon to be put on the battlefield. This time, in order to deal with the cavalry of the Wuhuan people and ensure a successful landing, not only the navy was mainly based on thunder and fire shells, but the infantry was also equipped with many skilled small grenades to disrupt the sudden attack of the cavalry. Horses are very sensitive animals, and untrained war horses can easily panic when they suddenly hear someone shouting in their ears. And in the thunderous roar of the thunder bomb, even a well-trained warhorse will stop. In this way, the cavalry, lacking speed, was nothing more than a target for crossbow arrows in the hands of infantry.

The boxes used to hold the fire bombs were also custom-made, similar in structure to the boxes that later contained eggs. It's just fixed on all sides. One box, it's just four fire bombs. Seeing this, Zhao Wenhua didn't say much. Although, he is pessimistic about the effect of the fire bomb on the grass. However, this is a trivial matter after all, the top boss wants to try, and Zhao Wenhua can't say anything.

Putting aside the matter, Zhao Wenhua began to organize the construction of a temporary wharf. Sail and anchor at the predetermined location, five modified ships are moored side by side, connected by iron cables, and arranged on them with wooden planks to form a six-zhang square platform. There are a total of four such floating platforms. Then, the bridge boat, the red horse boat...... A large number of large and small ships are similarly grouped together and connected to the platform all the way to the coast

By this time, 10,000 infantry had already gone ashore in full. Tai Shi Ci began to order the last group of more than 3,000 infantry to go ashore and begin to build a platform on the beach. Prepared stakes are neatly driven into the sand, forming rows of lattices. Immediately, the sacks filled with dirt were stacked in layers of staggered strips, until they were full, and then a thick layer of wood was laid on top of them. At the same time, Tai Shici commanded the infantry to set up camp and dig out the criss-crossing trenches and prepare more dirt sacks. After the completion of the four platforms, the infantry was in order, and with the cooperation of the naval ships, began to extend the platforms into the sea......

None of the foreseen dangers have occurred. The few Wuhuan people who came here to graze their cattle were all exterminated by the scouts. It wasn't until the sun rose that a knight escaped the scout's hunt and brought the news back. It's a pity that Sun Qiyun, the commander of the cavalry, led tens of thousands of troops to the west bank of the Xiaoling River, and the Wuhuan people were already unable to support it. Hearing this news to make matters worse, when Lord Wuhuan Su Muyan gathered together three thousand cavalry to arrive, it was already early afternoon, and Tai Shici had already established a solid beachhead. Su Muyan tentatively launched an attack, the defenders rained down arrows, Wuhuan didn't even get close to the position, and as soon as he fired, dozens of corpses were left. After falling in love for a while, seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Su Fuyan had to retreat in a panic. Because the whole army was infantry, Tai Shici ordered that there should be no pursuit, and the battle on the beachhead came to an end. At this point, the landing force passed the most vulnerable time safely.

An hour later, the temporary wharf was completed, a large number of supplies and siege equipment arrived on the coast, and the landing operation was successfully completed. The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the situation of the Wuhuan people has become worse and worse. There are tens of thousands of cavalry on the other side of the Xiaoling River, which are no longer the enemy of Wuhuan in Liaodong; In the east, 10,000 infantry landed, forming a two-sided attack. Where to go, Wuhuan, a subject state of Liaodong, has reached a critical juncture of life and death.

The lord of Wuhuan, a vassal state of Liaodong, is nearly forty years old, not tall, but extremely strong. He is known for his courage and resourcefulness. At this time, Su Fuyan couldn't come up with a good idea. With a black face, sitting on the top, Su Fuyan didn't say a word. In the big tent, there was a deathly silence. No one wants to speak at this time. There is not a man who sits in the tent who is not a warrior. However, only if you are brave, you will not survive on the grassland, and survival is an eternal topic on the grassland. Now, it's time to make a decision again.

"The Han army is coming from the east, it is menacing, we have really reached the moment of life and death, if you have any opinions, come as soon as possible!"

"My lord, if you go into battle to kill the enemy, I don't have a word! As for the matter of the Han army?, my lord, if you have any words, even if you are told, I will obey all orders! ”

Rong He's head was thick, and his eyes were glaring, as if Su Fuyan gave an order, and he was going to fight hard. Su Fuyan was noncommittal:

"Wumo?, tell me about it!"

Endless? smiled bitterly in his heart, what is there to say, "My lord, the Han army is fierce and invincible, so don't talk about fighting." For now, there are only a few ways: hold on and wait for help, withdraw to Liucheng in the north, withdraw to Changli in the east, and ...... Peace talks with the Han army! ”

"What? No end ?......"

"Retreat to Changli in the east, no! Don't mention this again! ”

Rong He snorted and was about to say something, but was stopped by Su Fuyan first. In his opinion, these are the four roads, but it is inconvenient for him to speak, and there is no end to it? It's just a matter of saying it.

Among the three counties of Wuhuan, Liaoxi Wuhuan is the most powerful, and Xiang is the head of the three counties. After the death of Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, his son Lou Ban was still young, and his nephew Badun took his place and became Lord Wuhuan of Liaoxi. However, if the name is not right, it is not good. There are a lot of people who secretly support the building class. In particular, the last time the three counties Wuhuan was defeated by Zhang Lu and suffered heavy losses, which greatly damaged the prestige of Bundun. Su Muyan, the lord of Wuhuan in Liaodong, took the opportunity to support Lou Ban to fight against Badun. As a result, his relationship with Bunton was strained.

The messenger who asked for help from Bunton departed yesterday, and no news has yet arrived. However, as the saying goes, "this time, that time". Bunton is a smart man, and he will not be embarrassed at this critical juncture.

The retreat to Liucheng in the north is the same as holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, and it must be cooperated by the Hindun in order to succeed. And retreating to Changli in the east is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight -- this is the next policy. Wuhuan in eastern Liaodong has only more than 1,000 settlers (households) and a population of less than 20,000, so it has no strength to stand on its own. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, you can only end up with two sides that are not pleased, and there will be no good result in the end. Gongsun Du is also unreliable, when the situation is not clear, Gongsun Du will most likely not publicly break with Zhang Han and leave himself a way out.

The problem of evacuation is mainly the speed of evacuation. Su Muyan had already ordered the clan to pack up and prepare to go. However, the Han army may not be willing to let them go. If men, women, and children walked together, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Han army. In other words, if you want to evacuate, you have to leave your people behind and take only the young and strong.

Staying on the back of the list is also a matter of speed, but this speed refers to the speed at which the reinforcements come in. The Xiaoling River has a gentle flow and is suitable for crossing the river in many places. The Han army was flanked on both sides, and the subject state of Liaodong itself could not hold out for a few days.

As for surrender, it would have been a good idea. In the steppe, there is nothing shameful in surrendering, and taking sides with the strong is a natural choice. And the oath of frustration, and the matter of Shanggu Wuhuan, Su Muyan also heard about it. If you take refuge in Zhang Han, your life and property will be safe and sound. For the vast majority of people, life is only better. However, those in the tent are all nobles in the Wuhuan of Liaodong's vassal state. The life under the fence is not easy, and Su Fuyan is reluctant to ......

After hesitating again and again, Su Fu postponed his decision.
