Chapter 256: I, I, Dog's Feet
The way to deal with the army of Muhan is simple......
Just clear the field.
This time, the original Hebei Han people who followed the southward migration continued to go south, to the south of Qingshiguan to temporarily settle, and even continued to go south to Lushun to board a ship to Shandong, in short, their group of people continued to go south, mainly because the grain in Liaoyang was not enough to feed more people, so they could only go to the south to eat. Although Ruan Xiaoqi shipped a large amount of grain by sea, and even caught a large number of marine fish and piled them up in Lushun, it was also a big project to transport these things to Liaoyang for hundreds of miles, and only part of them were transported before.
All the communes in the Liaoshen area were withdrawn to Liaoyang City.
The city is huge.
The circumference is thirty miles, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
At this time, the entire area is estimated to have a population of more than 100,000, and they withdrew from the surrounding cities with all the grain and livestock to Liaoyang, leaving nothing outside, even the surrounding wild things were killed and brought to Liaoyang. There is no food for Stickyhan, all the places to the north are emptied, he has no place to collect food, such an army is an offensive, and there is no sustained combat ability at all, what else is there to be afraid of.
As for them bypassing Liaoyang......
There is no food in the south of Liaoyang, unless they can enduring hunger and storm Qingshi Pass under the condition that Wang Yue's army behind them can kill Liaoyang at any time.
This is not a no-go.
Militarily, this is completely suicidal.
And Han Qingmin, Xiao Pu and others returned to Jinzhou, and they also cleared the wilderness there, preventing Sticky Han from being able to open Liaoyang and attack Jinzhou, after all, there are still some people in western Liaoxi who belong to the Jin Kingdom, but this possibility is very low, because Muhan walked from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and he also needed food support along the way. After all, Mu Han really didn't have the ability to attack south at this time, that is, he was just dizzy, his army was indeed a lot, but the army also needed to consume a lot of food.
An army of 100,000?
He didn't even have the ability to maintain a long-term offensive with an army of 10,000 in Liaoyang.
At this time, the most rational choice for Muhan was actually to withdraw to the Linhuang area, and then use the cities in the Linhuang area to loot the cities in the Linhuang area to maintain this huge army.
Of course, that would have caused a lot of people in the area to starve to death.
But his military strength was enough to suppress it, and it was originally conquered by them by force, and he had no ability to resist them at all, so he could completely starve the Khitan, Xi people, and of course the Han and Bohai people there, in exchange for the unharmed of his legion.
Liaoyang, who forcibly marched into the fortified wall and cleared the wilderness, was actually a faint move......
But he has to do it!
The emperor was captured, countless princes and ministers were killed, and even his wife and daughter were in this batch of captives, he couldn't control it!
Then the Battle of Liaoyang began.
Huaiyuan Gate.
"Sticky, look who this is!"
Wang Yue looked at the thousands of troops and horses lined up outside the city, howling excitedly to the sound of war drums.
Then there was laughter on both sides of him, and then the unlucky Wu Qimai appeared again, but His Majesty the Dajin Emperor was tied to a rack because his two legs were not healed, and he was carried out by sixteen soldiers like sixteen shoulders.
Outside, the Jurchens roared angrily.
This is their emperor, although Wu Qimai is not Aguta, but he has also led them to this day like Aguta.
"Yes, Wu Qimai, your emperor!"
Wang Yue howled.
However, at this moment, the Jurchens outside suddenly fell silent, and then they separated in the middle of their formation, and a man with a big tie was pushed out and walked forward in the scolding from behind.
"Emperor, there is one here too!"
There was a roar outside.
Wang Yue looked at this man speechlessly, it was obvious that this was Tianzuo, His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor didn't look too big, that is, about fifty years old, not as old as Ah Guta, but older than the great painter, among the three monarchs of the same period, it was the youngest great painter. However, when it comes to the speed of the loser, Tianzuo and the great painter are indistinguishable, and I don't know what the mood was when the two met in history.
"Emperor!"
Then Wang Yue laughed.
"Do you threaten the Great Song Dynasty with the Great Liao Emperor?"
He yelled.
There was laughter on both sides again.
"Raise His Majesty the Great Golden Emperor!"
Wang Yue roared.
The sixteen-lift frame stopped next to a very thick flagpole, and then the soldiers hung the hook on the wooden rack that Wu Qimai had, and dozens of soldiers on the other side dragged the rope, and then Wu Qimai rose up, and soon reached the top of the flagpole, hanging in the air like a special flag. This scene made the Jurchen soldiers outside even more angry, but they had no choice but to turn to Tianzuo to vent their anger, pointing at the unlucky Tianzuo one by one and scolding and even spitting.
Poor Tianzuo stood there in humiliation and silently endured ......
In fact, he was originally quite courteous, and when Yinshu captured him alive, he still saluted him, and treated him completely like a monarch.
Then he knew that Huining was baptized in blood, and his good days would come to an end after Wu Qimai was captured alive.
Because Wang Yue always propagated the Song-Liao Alliance, and ordered the Song and Liao emperors to take the Song army and the Liao army to raid Huining together, so those Jurchen soldiers who didn't know the details vented their anger on the Great Liao Emperor, and this kind of thing often happens these days.
He's used to it.
However......
"Bring them all!"
Wang Yue on the city wall continued to roar.
The Jurchens immediately raised their heads, and then immediately fell into a rage.
Because there were countless women on the city wall, including the concubines and daughters of Aguta and Wu Qimai, and the families of those princes and ministers, in short, they were all like this, and in the drive of those soldiers, they had to go to the city wall and look outside. This scene made the Jurchen soldiers furious, looking at these figures on the city wall, as well as the shameless people beside them, the Jurchen warriors had nowhere to vent their anger, so they had to continue to look for Tianzuo, and even a few directly ran to him to punch and kick.
"I am the Emperor of Da Liao, how can you treat me like this!"
Tianzuo hugged his head and screamed.
But those Jurchen generals were also angry, at this time they didn't bother to care about him as a prisoner, the Great Liao Emperor was a fart, not a prisoner who let them trample on him, since he was a prisoner, he was not qualified to talk about treatment, what is a prisoner, a prisoner is a slave, and a slave is qualified to ask for anything from his master.
It's still me!
I'm me, I'm a dog's foot!
Poor Tianzuo soon collapsed in the beating of these soldiers, and all that was left was to hold his head and scream.
"Quick, take them down!"
Wang Yue said.
The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly left with the women, so as not to continue to provoke the Jurchens to kill His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor again.
However, at this time, an accident happened, and one of the officers suddenly dragged a woman out of it, and then dragged her to the castle tower in her exclamation, and directly turned her face to the sticky Chinese army......
"Sticky Han, look who this is, your woman, now she is my woman!"
The guy howled arrogantly.
"Sticky, he said your woman is now his."
Wang Yue raised his head to look at this scene, and then kindly repeated it in his loud voice, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the woman with her head poking out above seemed to be a little abnormal, as if she was being pushed and shoved by something repeatedly, and at the same time, the officer's wild laughter sounded......
"Shameless!"
Wang Yue looked speechless with contempt.
But the soldiers around him were all very happy.
"Sticky Han, listen to my explanation, this is definitely not what I taught him, but Mrs. Zun is indeed his captive, and according to the rules, she is already his woman, and I can't interfere in the affairs of their husband and wife!"
Wang Yue shouted outside not unapologetically.
The surrounding soldiers laughed.
Almost at the same time, the drums of the attack sounded outside, and the Jurchen soldiers, who had long been unable to hold back, shouted and swarmed forward, and they didn't have to care about the moat this season, and they didn't build any ladders or the like, they just carried countless long ladders one by one, and played with courage to attack the city. In fact, they prefer this, before the Battle of Taiyuan, the Jurchens were like this on the battlefield, they looked brainless, but relying on their bravery, there were almost no examples of misses.
After all, their individual quality is really strong.
A Jurchen soldier climbing the city wall would need several defenders to block it.
Hundreds or thousands of ladders stormed the walls at the same time, and with only one tenth of them, they could capture a city.
However......
They forgot that there was a Great Liao Emperor in front of them, those Jurchen warriors who were surging forward, they didn't pay attention to Tianzuo who had been beaten to the ground, and then the surging torrent instantly submerged him, and a pair of big feet kept stepping on him, and the poor Great Liao Emperor could scream a few times at first, but soon there was no more screaming.
"I just love this!"
Wang Yue said with satisfaction.
Then he waved back......
"Put!"
Under the city wall behind him, Ma Kuo shouted excitedly.
And the brake of a giant counterweight trebuchet beside Ma Kuo smashed open, and then the counterweight fell, and the long arm at the other end suddenly rose, and a two-hundred-pound boulder flew out with a roar, like a meteor across the sky, and smashed into the torrent of Jurchen soldiers outside the city in a blink of an eye, smashing mud splashes on the hard frozen soil.
Flesh and blood were also splattered.
Moreover, this boulder is not solid granite, but the sedimentary rock that is most easily broken, and while smashing on the frozen soil and splashing blood and flesh, it also shatters into countless gravel, scattering and flying in all directions with the power of the burst, beating the nearby Jurchen soldiers into a wail. Although it can't be compared with explosive shrapnel, at least the killing range has been greatly enhanced, and those dozens of pounds of heavy gravel that collapsed and flew easily smashed the Jurchen soldiers with blurred flesh and blood.
And that's just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, the counterweight trebuchets on both sides of Ma Kuo continued to raise their long arms, throwing out the same 200-pound boulders one after another, harvesting their lives in the torrent of Jurchen soldiers outside the city.
But the latter did not stop.
They continued to rush bravely towards Liaoyang City.
And on the tower above Wang Yue's head, the officer was still laughing wildly, and it was obvious that this guy's stamina was good.
