Chapter 150: The True Form Is Revealed
Things have evolved into this situation, not to mention the princes in the imperial court, even Zhao Hengyi, who always pays attention to the front-line battle situation in Yonggu City, did not expect it before.
Is this situation a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
According to the idea of the imperial court, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the whole world was hit by drought, and the barbarian Koubian was expected.
Although the bosses of the court did not expect that the barbarian family's background was so thin, they couldn't withstand the impact on the border town without waiting for the summer grain to be harvested, but according to the original experience of the princes, the barbarian Koubian would be over after a plunder.
When you have enough food and people, go back to your own land and continue your life.
Under normal circumstances, the barbarians also think like this.
After all, over the decades, everyone has become accustomed to this way of getting along, regardless of whether they are friends or enemies.
However, a continuous rainy season covering the entire Great Yan Kingdom and nearly half of the barbarian territory made the barbarians and the Great Yan Kingdom dumbfounded at the same time!
The barbarian expedition has always been based on the tribe as a unit, with the cavalry as the main force, although the continuous rain has alleviated the drought, but also led the barbarian iron cavalry muddy and difficult.
It seems that in this case, the army of the barbarians should be in a dilemma, and the army of the Great Yan Kingdom should take the opportunity to counterattack.
But that's not the case at all!
It is true that the barbarian army was forced to stay in the area they plundered, but the army of the Great Yan Kingdom was unable to organize a decent counterattack!
Up and down the Great Yan Kingdom, all the people are still waiting for the barbarians to take the initiative to retreat, and then send someone to receive the lost land, of course, this time the leader of the army must be a civil official, or the son and nephew of a civil official, after all, recovering the lost land is also a credit!
The barbarians who have robbed enough can't get away for a while, so they can only use the looted Han people to temporarily operate the occupied area, and the leaders of the barbarians found that even if they were burned and killed by the warriors on our grassland, the territory of the Han people, with a little management, can still be so comfortable!
At this moment, many barbarian leaders moved their minds and secretly wondered, if they just stayed in the Great Yan Kingdom, turned all the Han people into their slaves, and let them worship the warriors from the grassland, wouldn't it be much more wonderful than taking the tribe to herd sheep and cattle?
These Han slaves, one by one, are very capable, and they have to be taught everything on the grassland, and they are clumsy, but they are placed on their own territory, planting crops, weaving, striking iron, and making wine...... One by one smart tight!
Once this idea appeared, it spread inexorably among the barbarians, and many barbarian soldiers also had the idea of leaving it behind and letting the Han slaves support themselves.
According to the decaying and decaying armament of the Great Yan Kingdom, as well as the miasma of smoke within the imperial court, the barbarians have not had the idea of completely occupying the territory of the Han people until now, which is simply a great luck!
The Great Yan Kingdom should be thankful that there is no unity within the barbarians, or that there is no Chosen Son who can integrate various tribes and even surnames.
If there were a strong man in the world, integrating the barbarian tribes, and forming a unified political structure in the true sense, I am afraid that the Great Yan Kingdom would have ceased to exist a long time ago!
Even now, the armies of the barbarians still go their own way, even if there are still many contradictions within the barbarians, even if the barbarian tribes still do not obey anyone...... But isn't it now that everyone is trapped in Han Land by continuous rainfall and can't walk?
Even if there is no truly unified government order system, the barbarians who have broken through the border towns and scattered in the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom have begun to communicate with each other, and almost half of the leaders want to stay in the Great Yan Country like this!
In the past, the mindset of the barbarians, we fought the grass valley to fight the Han people by surprise!
After the fight, they robbed, and after they finished grabbing, they ran away, and the reason was that they were worried that the Han army would come to encircle and suppress them later.
But the current strength of the Han army is so bad that it is beyond the imagination of the barbarians, and many barbarian leaders suddenly woke up, are we too conservative over the years?
Although the number of us who came was very small, we couldn't stop the Han people from being as cowardly as the sheep!
Those border troops are really about to collapse at the touch of a button!
As for the breakthrough of the border town, the army of the local guards is even more unbearable, and the iron cavalry of the steppe warriors has not yet been killed, and those defenders like Hanako have just run away!
If the soldiers of the entire Great Yan Kingdom are like this, although we grassland warriors are a little less, we may not have the opportunity to make a big vote!
Of course, most of those who have this kind of thinking are young young Zhuang factions.
And the leaders who are old and serious still think that there are too many Han people, and it is okay to take advantage of them, but it is still too vain to want to destroy the court of the Han people and occupy the flowers and rivers of the Han people.
The two sides insist on their own words, and they seem to have a point, but after all, they are not convinced by each other.
To put it bluntly, there is still no powerful figure in the barbarian clan to dominate the overall situation, if Tuoba Dewang, who chose to raid Yonggu City, did not meet Zhao Hengyi, if Tuoba Dewang led the army to break through the defense line of Yonggu City, and now he is also staying in the hinterland of the Great Yan Kingdom with thousands of iron horses, I am afraid that this Tuoba family can call on more than half of the barbarian army to raid the Beijing Division with him with an order!
It's a pity that the fate of the Great Yan Kingdom should not be extinct, and Tuoba Dewang, a well-known commander among the barbarians, first suffered a heavy blow in Yonggu City, and then infiltrated Jiangling City to make some deals with a certain big man...... In the end, he threw his life into the hands of Zhao Hengyi!
It can only be said that time is also fate, Zhao Hengyi in a sense, inadvertently saved the precarious Great Yan Kingdom.
Even if there is no unified voice within the barbarians, it does not prevent them from cooperating with each other and preparing to blackmail the Great Yan Kingdom!
If you want to blackmail the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, you must first kill the last hope or confidence of the Great Yan Kingdom!
Yonggu City is still holding on to the present, the barbarian iron cavalry has not been able to really break through that line of defense from beginning to end, and now the warriors of the grassland have broken through to the rear of the first line of Yonggu City, no matter how you say it, you have to pull out this nail!
As long as the Yonggu City is broken, then in the eyes of the barbarians, the last confidence and hope of the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom will be completely destroyed, and then a little intimidation, it will definitely be able to blackmail countless benefits!
This idea can't be said to be wrong, but it is put on Dayan Guo...... It can only be said that these barbarian leaders still look up to the Zhao official family in the palace in the capital too much.
In this situation, the barbarian army began to move slowly, and while beware of the Great Yan Kingdom mobilizing troops to support Yonggu City, they gathered their manpower in an attempt to attack from the rear and completely break through Yonggu City!
The news from all parties was passed to Zhao Hengyi through Song San, although Zhao Hengyi had confidence in his brother Song Ying'an and veteran Zhang Chaoyang, but he had no confidence in the court of the Great Yan Kingdom!
Even, Zhao Hengyi suspected that there would be Yonggu City still desperately resisting on the battlefield, but the military order to surrender from the imperial court was issued to the army!
Such an unbelievable operation, the bosses of the Great Yan Kingdom who control the government have completely done it!
