Power and Empire Chapter 2996: Cut off Yunkong (25)

In the late summer season, the large river that traverses the east and west of China and Biya entered the flood season. The river surged past the dams that had not been repaired due to the war, turning the area along the river into a wave of Zeguo water.

Across thousands of miles, it is like a flooded area spread out by a huge fan, turning the entire southern river area into a muddy lake. The hot and humid south has finally entered the most unbearable period for the northern prairie people. Linhang University The sequelae of the massacre, which caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, also broke out at this moment.

South of the big river, within a hundred miles of Linhang, there is already no man’s land

At the place where the poplar flowers fall, countless bones are gradually decayed in the mud in the wilds of the river and beside the post road. Although Yelu Hongtai is in Linhang, it is not a wishful past. It is not that he does not want to leave, but because The outside of the city is already flooded, and the Chinese and Bianlian troops who withdrew to the south took the opportunity to set up a new line of defense in the south

Even the new Beijing-Linhang city of China and Biya has already been captured, so why go south? As long as you want to be even more humid and hot in the south, thinking that your whole body will be surrounded by hateful mosquitoes, the bravest grassland warriors also feel a little embarrassed. The tradition of grassland people rarely takes a bath, because the water source is on the grassland. Look at the gift of growth and birth,

We have been with war horses, cattle and sheep all the year round. The smell of the prairie people has penetrated into their bones. It is not something that can be driven away by bathing. In the dry northern regions, it is better to say that once you pass the south of the river, the hot and humid weather will be People on the prairie are going crazy. The disease caused by overcast and heat, and the attrition caused by the inadequacy of the soil and water, have now reached 20%. The military camps are full of patients. This kind of non-combat attrition has passed the real battle. Even Yelv Hongtai was shocked by the attrition caused by the Biya army.

The flood was mixed with heavy rain, and the horseshoes of the prairie cavalry were also wrapped in this mud

Standing at the Sanjiang Pass where the Central and Biyarian Army has just stabilized, I watched the flood torrent fiercely like a yellow-brown dragon flooding into the plains in front of me. In this unexpected autumn rain, Yelu Parent Jiannan pointed out that the destructive offensive finally stopped here,

Human calculations can't make heavens after all!

If the flood season of the big river comes half a month later, or the rain in July is delayed for ten days, this river defense line will inevitably be breached. Then there will be no natural danger to defend in the south. How will the war develop, Li Long I can hardly think about it,

His gaze fell on the camp that was spread out by the steppe people in the distance, and his face also had unconcealable fear and anxiety. The battle of Linhang was really defeated too quickly. More than a hundred thousand Chinese and Bianyan troops are still in Linhang. Fighting with the grassland army on the periphery, Yeluguda tore a gap from the flanks, and took advantage of the gap in force, and attacked Baili at night, reaching the city of Linhang.

There were still 20,000 defenders in Linhang city at that time, and all the materials for the city defense were complete. Even the imperial Thunder God had privately obtained two gates, which were used to boost morale and could be defended. The other troops returned to encircle the lone wolf in Yeluguda, but the emperor was shocked. Hearing that the grassland army was already under the city, thinking that the outer army had collapsed, he immediately boarded the lone wolf that had been docked in the port despite the minister’s persuasion. The ship left Linhang, the military spirit collapsed, and finally became the new capital of the China-Biya Empire in Linhang for less than two years. It was defeated by Yeluguda’s fifty thousand grassland army in one fell swoop.

The whole battle collapsed across the board. Nearly 300,000 civilians were killed in Linhang, and the noble cliques declined innumerably. Fortunately, in response to the steppe people going south, every ferry near Linhang has been destroyed and burned in advance, even if it is. On the river, a large number of concentrated wooden boats were also used to block the exit of the river. Invisibly, the Yelv family wanted to take the opportunity to go south, and was delayed in this drizzle for nothing. At this time, the so-called war is the only word for death. I only hope that this flood season of the big river can give China and Biya a breath of breath,

The northern steppe people are not good at water warfare. This is a well-known thing, and it is the only weakness that can be found at present. More than 30 large ships of the Song nationality in the south of China and Biya have assembled on the river, on the bank of the Yangtze River. , The remnants of the various army also set up camps, and the towering wooden arrow towers are like a blockade spread along the river, making it difficult for the steppe people to assault the fleet’s attempt to cross the river anymore, and lined up on the river bank. The position of the infantry group in China and the Bahrain, the battle flag is grin, and the heavy slings are 50 meters each. Among them, the huge Song character banner is the most eye-catching.

The Southern Song people finally went north in this catastrophe, and they still carried their troops with a huge navy fleet. Although it was only 20,000 people, the significance of it was enough to inspire people, no matter what was inside China and Biyah. At this moment, facing the horseshoe of the prairie people, they finally stand together,

The arrival of Song Que, the most recognized martial arts master in southern China, gave the defeated China Army a spiritual support point, not to mention the several attacks of the Grassland Army and the Song Clan. Those who were killed or drowned in the fleet are not counted. These large Song boats are all large-scale transport ships seized from the Aden Navy. They are so large that they are far larger than the river boats that the steppe people scraped from everywhere. These huge seas The boat finally made the prairie people who had always been rampant rammed with blood. On the evening of July 4th, the Song family fleet raided the prairie people’s pier on the opposite side, and an outrageous fight suddenly came.

Because the prairie people didn’t know how to fight in water, they were even more frightened by the Song clan’s big ship like a fortress on the water. Watching countless slings and cupping pots smashing into the camp like a torrential rain, the whole army unexpectedly In the bombing camp, tens of thousands of prairie wolves rushed to death, trampled to death, burned to death, various injured, as many as 10,000 people, after a few days, there was no more action.

The people of China and Biya, who recovered a little bit, began to publicize the "Sanjiangkou Victory". The popularity of the Song people has risen, and all kinds of respects are coming. The Song people are going north, and they are also known as the important ministers of the squad. At the time when the royal family of Central and Biyadh was dying out, the Song people had a faint hope of propping up a sky in the hearts of the people of Central and Biyah.

But in the core area controlled by the Yelu family, the will of the Yelu family is holding it tightly and buckling it to death every day, attracting the refuge of the local Chinese and Biya people, and with the assistance, they continue to attack. , To smooth out the resistance forces in the territory, and at the same time, with the determination to kill a thousand mistakes and not let go of one, search for any resistance forces, and recruit a large number of auxiliary troops in the occupied areas. The Yelv family still implements the mobilization system of the prairie people. The Yelu family’s decree says that not only the young men of the steppe tribe should become soldiers, but all the adult men in the occupied area should be recruited as soldiers.

At the same time, in order to obtain more wealth, under the instruction of Yelv Hongtai, the grassland tribes began to dig out the tombs of the clansmen everywhere, from east to west, all over the area of ​​thousands of miles. Compared with that, Li Long, as the military cabinet, has not been so good.

The Li family, which has been glorious for a century, has also fallen. When the report of the Linhang defeat came, the first thing everyone thought of was not the escape of the emperor of Zhongbia, but the Li family.

Li Zhang, the four main gates of the Tang and Song dynasties, were so beautiful at the beginning. It has only been a few years since the Zhang clan died in the imperial capital. Few of the Tang clan was slaughtered by the prairie people in Linhang. Now the Li family Then the popularity plummeted, and there was only one Song clan from the remote south of the four gate lords. It was already the fourth to go to the third

When these repressive gate lords fade and fall one by one, a power vacuum will inevitably follow. The confrontation between the aristocratic groups in the north and the south finally no longer needs to be so obscure, but directly enters with a white knife. After the Red Knife came out, after successively experiencing the catastrophe of the Imperial Capital and the Linhang Massacre, the northern aristocratic group was basically incomplete. On the contrary, the southern group was not affected too much, and took advantage of these two great turbulences from the north. I have dug a lot of talents to enrich my family, which greatly shortens the gap between the gates of the north and the south.

"My lord, the decision of the military cabinet has come out. The adult has been deprived of the position of the military cabinet. Chen Dongyang will take over as the military cabinet." The adjutant walked up from behind with an ugly face, and his eyes were deep in a low voice. Looking at Li Long on the other side, he said

"The result that should have been thought of a long time ago, there is nothing strange, I just want to know, will someone speak for me at the meeting?" Li Long's face was calm, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, but the dignified military cabinet was rejected Outside of the military cabinet meeting, everything has been explained by itself,

The adjutant hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "Since the Thor incident two years ago, my Li family suffered another severe damage. There have been voices calling us the greatest scourge of the Central and Bian Empire, colluding with foreigners and repelling aliens. , For the self-interest of the family and squandering the national interest, some people even found out the Thor incident of the year, claiming that if it were not for our mistakes, the Yelu family would not get Thor, and the Yelu family would not get Thor. They have always been good at field warfare but not good at attacking the grassland. People will not destroy the cities in the central part of China and Biya in just one year."

"Otherwise, the Yelv family would be noisy in the central region at best, and would have to return to the grasslands before winter as the past grassland forces, instead of as they are now, not only gaining a foothold in the central region, but even breaking new ground. Beijing, Linhang, it seems that there is a plan to establish a country in China and Biya'

"The root of everything is the Li family. It's ridiculous that there are still people who have the face to stay in the military cabinet." At the meeting just now, Chen Dongyang, who was ousted from the military post because he wanted to weaken the Southwest Dragon family first, was Said so

"The root cause? It's really a big hat of justice and awe-inspiring." Li Long took a deep breath, but the corner of his mouth smiled faintly. It is undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of military power. Chen Dongyang’s comeback is inevitable, not to mention that behind Chen Dongyang are those southern aristocratic groups that are eager to grab more benefits in the vacuum of power. Chen Dongyang fiercely accused me. The Li family should be responsible for the fiasco of Linhang and the disappearance of His Majesty. In fact, it is to crush the original northern clique and let all the northern aristocratic groups know that people have to bow their heads under the eaves and kill chickens and monkeys. To my Li's head"

"What should I do now?" The adjutant asked hesitantly. The Li family's status as one of the four main gates is no longer there. They all say that the wall is down and everyone pushes it.

"What else can I do? Isn't it just a military pavilion? Linhang is lost. Is it really cheeky to continue to be?" Li Long shook his hand and raised his finger to the front. It’s time for the north. This is where the life and death of Zhongbia lies. It is already an unexpected joy for the Song people to go north. If Chen Dongyang’s flattering army can really take up the responsibility of defense, the military cabinet will give him it. At this moment, ours The gaze should look even more towards the north bank. The large numbers of Zhongbian people who have been taken captive by the steppe people, and those gold and silver materials that are still being transported to the north in a mighty manner. Once the Yelu family has digested all this, I am afraid that the Sanjiangkou will also Can't stand it! At that time, that will be the beginning of the real disaster. The uninterrupted suppression and killing of the grassland people, the rolling blood and heads, will naturally gradually teach people the reality that the situation is stronger than the people."

In this early autumn, Zhongbia was still struggling in Sanjiangkou, and the whereabouts of the Emperor of Zhongbia was still unknown. Li Long was deposed from the military cabinet of Zhongbia. The Southern Song nationality seized the opportunity to go northward~IndoMTL.com~ and made a big profit. After a fortune, the Southwest Dragon’s family, which has been deposited for almost half a year, once again spread shocking news

Since Long Yang single-handedly resisted the Yelu family’s northward entry into Yanzhou, Long Po led 20,000 elites from the Dragon family to a mess inside the Yelu family. He waited until he digested the countless materials he had obtained from the Yelu family. With millions of people, in the July when Mailang was facing the wind and waves, the current Patriarch of the Long Family, Long Po, left the Long Family Base Camp again with thirty thousand dragon family troops. To all surprises, the Long Family was not as good as the Song Clan. In that way, I rushed to Sanjiangkou to go to the national disaster and earned a lot of prestige, but after a surprising turn, he went straight to the northwest that no one expected

No one knows that the land of the northwest is already full of war clouds at this moment. In the Battle of Linhang, the first battle slaughtered Yelvguda, the new prairie star of China, Beijing, and Linhang, and gathered over 100,000 grassland tribes. When the army rushed towards the frontiers of the empire, only the Southwest Long’s family near the northwest noticed something. Then the news came that made the Central and Biyarian side stupid, Mingyue Yanzhou Army? what! The steppe people were provoked by a Chinese cavalry in the northwest. The banner of the opponent was Mingyue Yanzhou Army. This is too much room for imagination of the Chinese people.

In this era when the entire Zhongbia was swept by the steppe people, the Yanzhou Army, the number one field cluster in Zhongbia at the time, and the No. 1 Xiong Army in the world that supported the Zhongbia barrier, seemed to be based on people’s memory. The disappeared name suddenly jumped out in a shocking pattern. The royal family has withered away. The remaining few are either children or have been scared by the prairie people, and they are unwilling to come out to be the first to die. Bird, the name of the bright moon, has to remind people of a princess who has been declared dead by the Royal Family of Central and Biyah, a tragic battle that cut through the sky, and then everyone was dumbfounded
