Chapter 429: Branches and Peripherals
Although the homeless people in the Yanshan area were very enthusiastic about the hospitality of Feng Rui and others, it almost reached the point of giving everything they had.
All kinds of mountain delicacies and game, which are constantly sent like flowing water, also make the three people who have always been hard-working in the mission world, that is called a smile.
Even in this process, they were still a little gloating about the difficult experience of Hu Biao and others.
Decide that if it's the end of the mission, make sure to show it off in front of them.
However, the three of them can still tell the importance of the matter; More importantly, their gloating over Hu Biao and others does not mean that they really don't care about the life and death of Hu Biao and others.
After eating a big meal, it can be regarded as accepting the kindness of everyone in the Yanshan area.
The three of them didn't have to take the initiative to discuss, and they started to get down to business.
Soon after, in the midst of their confessions, many of the wine and meat on the long wooden table were removed; Instead, some melons and fruits were delivered, as well as tea soup made from wild tea.
After making these preparations, the leaders of the thirteen exiles were also invited.
Among these people, the person at the head is called Fang Dalang.
At the beginning, one of the deputy leaders in the Xuange camp, because he was born in the Western Army, was a top-notch existence among the people, both in terms of knowledge and ability.
So in the previous years, he was also the big leader among the homeless.
There are also seven other people, all of whom were injured in the Xuange camp that year, and ten generals, captains, and small soldiers have identities.
The remaining five people are people with ability and fame among the homeless, and in the end, these thirteen people can be regarded as the ones with the highest status among the homeless.
It's also a coincidence, because there are not many flat valleys in the Yanshan Mountains, and it is impossible for everyone to live together.
It can only be composed of many villages, distributed in a large circle of Yanshan, and these thirteen leaders usually live in different places.
It is said that the farthest village has to walk for a day or two.
It just so happened that they had gathered together these days and had some things to discuss; Otherwise, if they want to gather these people for a meeting, they will have to wait for three days to do the least.
After beckoning everyone to sit down, Feng Rui didn't ink, and immediately said straight to the point:
"Brothers, everyone must have worked hard all these years.
I don't know what happened to the situation here in Yanshan after more than four years? How many people do we have, how many men and horses can we pull out to fight, and what are the preparations for the grain? ”
If you want to do something, of course, you must first figure out what you have at hand and how much capital you have now.
Faced with such a question, the big leader Fang Dalang came as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Originally, there were only about 10,000 of us who fled from Taiping Fort into the mountains; But those Jurchens were brutal, and many people who couldn't survive fled into Yanshan one after another.
There are Han, Khitan, and Xi people in it, and thanks to the miracles of the fairy grandfathers, they have joined us and others.
Now counting the old and weak, the population has more than 70,000, forming 63 large and small villages, scattered in most of the Yan Mountain.
In order to deal with the Jin soldiers, they went into the mountains from time to time to clear the money.
As long as they are adult men, they are all incorporated into the battalion; Today, there are 51 battalions of various types, with a strength of about 25,000 or 6,000 men.
To tell the truth, over the years, because of the blockade of the Jin people, sometimes there is no salt to eat.
Everyone can't even climb the mountain and walk, so naturally it's quite hard.
But when I thought of the immortal methods of my grandfathers, the promise that I would come back one day, I persevered after encouraging each other every day. ”
After hearing the above content, the three of them suddenly looked at each other.
The rest of the situation is fine, and even the fact that more than 20,000 troops can be mobilized is even a huge surprise.
The key is that these people shouted 'fairy grandpa' one by one with a respectful face, almost causing them to tear the soles of their toes in a huge embarrassment.
On the ground, a three-bedroom living room came out.
The question is to explain it to these people, right? On the one hand, they can't explain why they just 'whoosh~' and disappeared from so many people's eyes in the first place.
On the other hand, it is more important when it comes to morale.
The key to these people's ability to persist until this time in such a difficult environment is to have an almost religious-like belief in them.
If you really want to explain it clearly, then the hearts of these people are estimated to be scattered all of a sudden, where can you take them to seize the county seat.
In the end, after the three of them glanced at each other, they reached a consensus:
Embarrassing is embarrassing! In the time to come, we still have to continue to pretend the magic stick, and we have to pretend to be better and more real; Wait until the situation improves, and then think about changing customs and breaking feudal superstitions......
After continuing to inquire, I learned about this group of displaced people in Yanshan.
In addition to the good strength of the troops and the morale is quite high, there are no other weapons and armor, and the grain and straw cannot last for a few days.
According to the oral descriptions of the leaders, the war elephants drew and marked the surrounding terrain and the general distribution of the golden soldiers on a piece of paper.
The next thing is to determine the goal of their work based on the above content.
Or, in other words, which county to hit.
After some deliberation by everyone, the goal was determined: Yuyang County.
This place belongs to Jizhou on the Zhongdu Road of the Jin Kingdom, and if it is placed in the modern plane, it is actually the Jizhou District of Sugar Mountain; When the Great Song Dynasty briefly occupied Yanjing, it was changed to Pinglu County, but it was lost again with the reduction of Guo Yaoshi's gold.
Originally, there were about 1,005 guards, and the Changsheng army under Guo Yaoshi guarded.
With the opening of the battle of the Jin State and the Song Dynasty, a thousand people were taken away, and there are only 500 guards left, which can be regarded as a soft persimmon.
But even if it's determined, after the next goal.
The specific time for the dispatch of troops will still need to wait for five days.
It's not that they are sharp, they are not in a hurry, but in this battle, they plan to send out an elite force of 5,000 people at a time.
These people need to be drawn from the village below, and the accompanying grain and grass must also be prepared, and even after gathering, they will have to grind a little for two days.
Even so, Feng Rui, a male nurse in the modern plane, still inexplicably rose with a sense of pride in his heart:
In the past, Li Yunlong fought Ping'an County, and now he is attacking Yuyang County, not allowing Commander Li to concentrate on the front......
******
It was still at the same time, but the specific place was changed to Heqing County, Mengzhou, which is hundreds of miles away from Kaifeng City.
Looking at the battlefield in front of them that had just ended the battle, Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue's eyes were solemn.
After a lapse of four years, in front of Hu Biao and others, the young and honest young man who was still these young people has undergone amazing changes after mastering the production, life, and army formation of tens of thousands of people.
Just standing here, there are also some postures that do not move like a mountain, Mount Tai is pressed on the top and the face does not change.
It's just that Yue Fei at this moment is still a rare frown.
Why? Because they are a group of local Han people, although the depths of the Taihang Mountain where they live are far away from the emperor of the sky, they don't have to worry about the movements caused by the training of soldiers and horses, and the benefits that leak out.
But there is still the disadvantage of blocked news and untimely response.
When the first Jin soldiers attacked Kaifeng, by the time they heard the news, they had just sent troops, and those Jin soldiers had already retreated with a large amount of money.
When the Jin soldiers attacked Kaifeng this time, they heard the news a month ago.
By the time they left a small number of men and horses to guard the headquarters, and an army of 10,000 people was left with food and straw, and hurriedly set out, the time was already twenty days ago.
Originally, such a distance of only a few hundred miles, with the soldiers trained by Yue Fei himself, he could arrive in seven days at most.
Unexpectedly, it was not far from the mountain, but he met the golden cavalry in front of him, which was only seven or eight hundred people.
That is, the first great battle between the two sides, those golden soldiers died a hundred and ten people in the careless battle; When they learned well, they didn't take the initiative to attack, but just relied on their horses to keep attacking.
However, when Yue Fei and the others evacuated by boat from the Northland that day, in order to load a little more people, so many good war horses were all abandoned.
So much so that in his current army, there are only some mules and horses used to transport grain, and there are no real war horses.
In this way, every time they fought against those harassing Jin soldiers, the casualties on both sides were very limited; But the speed at which they moved forward became incomparably slower.
I don't know how long it will take to arrive at the city of Kaifeng.
"You can't continue like this, you must find a way to defeat these golden cavalry." After thinking for a long time, Yue Fei said a sentence firmly in his mouth......
