Chapter 265: The results of the Liaodong Bureau
After a few days, the Jurchen army was completely desperate. didn't even have a chance to fight hard, and this battle was suffocated. As a result, the Hannu army became cannon fodder. Under the urging of the Jurchens, they attacked desperately.
The Liaodong Bureau only blindly defended, and from time to time used boiled water to water the broken brick walls and gates. Not to mention the attacking Hannu army, even the Jurchens who were supervising the battle on the side, they also had a toothache when they looked at it.
Even the members of the observation group who came to watch the battle in turn couldn't bear to see it one by one. These Hannu soldiers are so pitiful. Next, even the Jurchens no longer urged the Hannu army to attack. You are working your side, and a few buckets of water are done.
Next, the Jurchens did not attack either. Just wait where you are. Their fate was already sealed from the moment they came to the Dalian area. At most, it is just how much damage they can cause to the Liaodong Bureau.
At this time, this army was cut off from food and grass. Defeat is only a matter of time. The Jurchens began to kill horses, the first to be the horses that were transporting supplies. No one had anything to eat, let alone horses. The horses had long since lost their shape.
So, the Jurchens began food distribution. The Jurchens were full, and the Hannu army was half-full. The Hannu transporting supplies could barely starve to death.
At this time, it was the turn of the people of the Liaodong Bureau to feel uncomfortable. Mine, these horses are mine. The defeat of this Jurchen army was inevitable. The horse was the most important trophy.
It should be the most important trophy belonging to the Liaodong Bureau. It's okay to lose a little weight, just raise it. But now looking at the horses, their booty is being eaten in batches. Including the members of the observation group, I feel distressed!
Even many high-level officials of the Liaodong Bureau couldn't stand it anymore and asked for war one after another. Of course, the losses in the battle at this time will not be small. As the saying goes, the poor don't chase after them, but the current army is not just as simple as the poor. It's just a desperate hungry wolf.
The wartime commander-in-chief, Li San, served as the wartime supreme commander of the Liaodong Bureau. At this time, I can't make up my mind, this horse was slaughtered, it's really distressing. But Li San understands that playing at this time is what the Jurchens are most looking forward to.
At this time, Li San remembered Li Miao's last instructions when he left. If you are undecided about the war, you can ask Wang Daoqi. In short, we will resolutely not do anything that the enemy wants to do. Just do it the other way around, even if it's wrong, you can't go wrong.
Li San suddenly became enlightened, didn't the Jurchens think that they wanted us to attack? So, Li San ordered the forts to be ready to attack at any time. But for several days, the final order for a sortie was not issued.
A few days later, this Jurchen army began to starve to death. Food supplies are scarce, coupled with cold weather. The Hannu who was transporting the supplies died. Almost all of these slaves were starving.
Although there were 7,000 of these Han slaves, their combat power was very weak. Plus chronic hunger. There was no resistance for a long time, and only despair could be seen in their eyes.
Li San was still looking forward to these 7,000 Han slaves and rose up to resist. Or snatch food, which will cause riots. At that time, it was a good opportunity for the Liaodong Bureau to attack. But these Han slaves have long been tamed, and even if they die in despair, they can't afford to resist.
I wonder if they take care of their families? Or completely enslaved.
Li San had no good way at this time, except to wait. Wang Daoqi, the head of the Liaodong Bureau, learned of the battle situation on the front line. is also worried that Li San will make unwise actions. Hurried to the front-line mausoleum.
Wang Daoqi saw that Li San did not attack, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Li San saw Wang Daoqi coming, he thought he was blaming himself for not attacking? So, I want to explain a few words. was hurriedly stopped by Wang Daoqi.
"Li San, you are the supreme commander of the armed forces of the Liaodong Bureau. The decision on military matters is yours. I'm just worried that if we attack rashly, we will lose a lot. The gains outweigh the losses. Wang Daoqi's expression was solemn.
This group of Jurchen armies has reached a dead end. The price paid for the attack now is unbearable even for the current Liaodong Bureau. As for horses, they are very important, but are they comparable to the lives of tens of thousands of Liaodong Bureau guards?
Li San is now recognized by Wang Daoqi, and he is also relieved. Commanders on the battlefield are not so easy to be. Looking majestic, he waved his hand. The warriors behind them went forward one after another. Often, a simple command is related to the life and death of thousands of compatriots.
Wang Daoqi continued, "I don't think I can wait a few days, and there will be a battle between the Jurchens and the Han Nu army." Li San was ecstatic at this time, and he had always thought so. Now it coincides with Wang Daoqi's thoughts.
Wang Daoqi's arrival increased Li San's confidence. There's nothing more exciting than meeting a soulmate at a critical moment. Li San originally only estimated that there might be a riot in which the Han Nu army rebelled against the Jurchens.
Now Li San is already sure that such a riot will definitely happen. And the scale will not be small. Now the Han slaves who are transporting supplies have begun to starve to death in large numbers. The Hannu army will inevitably die and be sad.
Now they can still be half full, what about in the future? And finally? Their horses were the first to be eaten, for sure. Maybe those Jurchens now wish that these Han slave soldiers would die sooner. In this way, the Jurchens can still rely on the extra war horses, maybe there is still a possibility of survival.
So, Li San and the senior executives of the Liaodong Bureau who were present held a temporary meeting. Li San put forward his own idea. There will be this riot, and it will not be small. Li San also believes that the riots will not last long. I won't fight to the death.
If the Liaodong Bureau had left it unchecked, this riot would likely have led to the Han Nu army parting ways with the Jurchen army. After all, the Liaodong Bureau is watching from the sidelines. Therefore, it is impossible for the Hannu army and the Jurchens to fight to the death.
The top management of the Liaodong Bureau unanimously agreed that Li San's analysis was extremely likely to appear. That is how the Liaodong Bureau seized such an opportunity. The sooner you start, the greater the catch. If left unchecked, there is no doubt that this army will be defeated.
But their horses will definitely be eaten about the same. The Liaodong Bureau will also have very little gain. As a result, everyone began to discuss how to seize the opportunity and strive to capture more war horses.
Then Li San began to dispatch troops, and the Liaodong Bureau believed that the riots would occur at night. It must have been the Hannu Army that attacked the Jurchens first. The Hannu army has an absolute advantage in numbers, so they will not choose horse warfare. There is a high probability of a sneak attack.
The Hannu army took advantage of the night to act, and did not want the Liaodong Bureau to take advantage of it. The Liaodong Bureau also concluded that the riots would come soon. Because they are about to start killing the horses of the Han Nu army.
As cavalrymen, the war horse is their leg. And the soldiers and the horses have a deep relationship. The Hannu army would never have allowed the Jurchens to eat their horses.
Sure enough, two days later, in the middle of the night, the Hannu army chose to attack on foot. Silently. The Jurchens are not vegetarians either, and they have long been on guard. Or rather, a trap has been laid long ago. The Hannu army chose to fight on foot. But most of the Jurchens got on war horses.
It was a massacre, and the Hannu army began to be in disarray. It's not far from a collapse. A large number of Liaodong Bureau guards rushed in from all directions. "The Hannu Army has merit anyway." "The Hannu Army has merit anyway."
The Hannu army, which was about to collapse, froze. Feelings: This is an uprising! The Jurchens were even more desperate, their only hope of survival was completely shattered. Originally, I was thinking of taking a large number of war horses back to the Jurchen territory?
Soon a big battle was over. The Jurchens have lost hope, and they have lost their fighting spirit. It's as if they're waiting for the guards of the Liaodong Bureau and the Hannu Army to help them solve their pain. There are very few Jurchens who really resist.
According to post-war statistics, more than 10,000 horses were captured by the Liaodong Bureau this time. Although he has lost some weight, he still looks like a good horse. The Hannu army was really able to endure it, and it was only after nearly 3,000 war horses were killed that they chose to do it.
A group of high-level officials of the Liaodong Bureau are distressed. After the war, there were still more than 6,000 people left in the Hannu army, which was similar to the Hannu who transported supplies. None of the Jurchens remained. There were many who surrendered, and they were also cut off by the guards of the Liaodong Bureau to exchange their heads for silver and merit points.
Is the head of the Jurchens worth fifty taels of silver? And that's not counting merit points. Captives are worthless. This itself has no intention of sparing their lives. It is also good that the guards of the Liaodong Bureau can see the blood and increase some hatred against the Jurchens.
As for the more than 12,000 Han Nu troops and Han Nu soldiers, it is impossible to return to the Jurchen territory. can only become a submissive citizen of the Liaodong Bureau through transformation.
Because almost all of them still have relatives and live on the territory of the Jurchens, their transformation is also destined to have a long way to go.
