3050 Burning Plains (12)

The gap in the mountain range that is the boundary between Yanzhou and Daizhou in the distance is like a giant dragon being cut off by a lazy waist

A stone castle located here emptied into the sky. Even at this distance, the stern face of the imperial general Wumu on a small hill was clearly reflected, and the mountain breeze rushed to the distant place. The sound of fighting was also faintly brought. Since the end of the Southwest War, the East Court’s 80,000 cavalry, except for 20,000, were temporarily on the southwest front line, forming a military suppressive force on the Southwest Dragon’s family. The remaining 60,000 prairie cavalry did not return. It was under the emperor’s arrangement to sneak into Yanzhou from the incomparably desolate northwest. Because of the war between the Long Family and the Yelu Family in the grassland, the original Zhongbian people either fled with the Long Family or froze to death in the last winter. ,

The mountains of Yanzhou were originally the most favorable area for the Tibetan soldiers. Sixty thousand cavalrymen from the East Court arrived in Yanzhou for more than half a month, knowing very few of them, including the former Yanzhou, which was in charge of the Yanzhou area by the empire. Military general Yue Shan, Yue Shan was originally the senior general of the Yanzhou system. He was quite familiar with the large and small geographical environment of Yanzhou. Otherwise, he would not have been killed by the prairie people. He was surprised with tens of thousands of subordinates. The prairie people came out all the way and took away 30,000 or 40,000 Yanzhou army family members along the way. They finally fled into the wilderness to the north and arrived at the Yueshan Valley. They were the largest survivors of the Yanzhou army branch.

This time, Yueshan returned to Yanzhou again. Among the tens of thousands of subordinates, except for some who have settled in the imperial area, there are still more than 5,000 people who followed Yueshan back to Yanzhou. It is these people, and some from the imperial In the past few months, the prairie people who moved in from the northwest, Yue Shan has done all-out efforts to repair and reorganize Shangjing, the strategic core of Yanzhou. This core of Yanzhou has experienced many battles, especially the decisive battle between Longyang and Yelu’s family. Half of Upper Kyoto was beaten to ruins. Even if the Grassland King's Court entered Yanzhou later, he deliberately avoided Yanzhou and went to Beijing, and there was no intention of repairing it.

The Yanzhou barrier is already in name. During the retreat, the grassland court also destroyed the Yanzhou defense system to a considerable extent. Broken walls, withered barriers, and large sections of collapsed rocks were reflected in the blood-colored sunset. Without sufficient manpower, it is impossible to restore the defense system to a usable state in a short time

It’s not easy to repair it completely, but if it is not repaired, Yanzhou is sandwiched between the Fengtai Department and the northern royal court, and may face the danger of being attacked from the north to the south at any time. For a few months, Yueshan has already tried his best and can do it. That is, the original Shangjing city wall was repaired and built, but the progress is slow, I am afraid that it will not be completed without three to five years

Without manpower, this is where Yueshan feels the hardest. The people in the northwest have died, and the people in Yanzhou have died. Although the empire has occupied these two areas, there is no increase in manpower. There is only land. What's the use? It takes manpower, craftsmen, to repair the disabled and fill the vacancies.

In the report submitted to the emperor, Yue Shan said that if there are 100,000 people in his hands, he can guarantee that within a year, Yanzhou will return to Beijing. If there are 200,000, Yueshan is confident that it can be in half a year. Inside, the fortress system of tens of miles in Yanzhou’s overlapping mountains was re-established, and the grassland people in the south of Yanzhou formed a condescending barrier. At that time, the entire south of Yanzhou would be under the nose of the empire.

The idea is good, but the timing is wrong

This is how the fat man responded. The empire’s focus is still on stabilizing the western road of Emperor Jing. It can’t spare any extra energy to migrate population to Yanzhou, and since it wants to migrate, there must be areas where it can migrate, Yanzhou. Located in the land of the Fourth World War, with the northern grassland on the upper side, Yanzhou in the Fengtai department below, the dead northwest of Central and Biyah on the west, and the mountains and mountains on the east. Even if the empire is willing to invest its financial resources, there will be no population nearby. Can migrate

Of course, Yanzhou is not completely without the possibility of migration. The manpower is located in Daizhou below Yanzhou, and there are quite a lot of them. Yueshan has been greedy for a long time.

The Long Family entered Daizhou and drove millions of refugees to attack Longshibao, shaking the world, and finally the Long Family quietly retreated, taking away the 200,000 young people in one breath, and the remaining hundreds of thousands. Yaren eventually fell into the hands of the Fengtai tribe. For the Zhongbian people left by the dragon family, the Fengtai tribe was uncharacteristically. They did not completely drive them as slaves, but rarely concentrated these Zhongbian people. Go to a few fixed cities, and then appoint one of them as management officials. Every month a large amount of materials and properties are drawn from these cities. As long as these Chinese people do not run away or resist, they will not Sending troops to suppress it seems to be a secret agreement with the Long family.

These people from Central and Biyadh who are fixed in several cities are not people who have not escaped, but after they were desperately found that there were prairie people all around, they finally had to flee back to the city, although they were exploited by the prairie people. Serious, but at least much better than those of the Central and Byanese who were treated as slaves by the steppe people. These hundreds of thousands of Central and Byanese are almost equal in status to the servants of the bottom of the steppe tribes. These Chinese and Biyarians have relatively acquiesced to the rule of Fengtai Tribe.

Suddenly, cheers for taking the fortress came from ahead,

Yue Shan took a deep breath, retracted his gaze from a distance, and said, "It seems that the intelligence is true. Mengluo has emptied Daizhou’s troops, otherwise it would never be so easy. This Lingu Pass was still I personally supervised the construction. It took five thousand migrant workers a full two years to complete the work. Located in the gap in the mountain range, all of them are built with solid stones made from local materials, enough to withstand sling attacks, although they are not a single man. Mengluo has even emptied the defensive force of such a pass. After entering Daizhou this time, I also ask Governor Umu to look at my face and compare with me. The Asians are more tolerant. If I can sell the captured Central and Biyarians to Yanzhou, I’m willing to pay the full price to buy them."

"Governor Yueshan meant that he was willing to pay for the ransom money for these people from Central and Biyarian? This is not a small sum of money!" Wu Mu blinked, and couldn't bear to hold his horse whip. I stayed tight, and shook my head pretentiously, "The pass in front of me has been taken, and it is really easy for Wumu to be surprised. If I didn't know that Mongol Luo from Fengtai Department had already incited a hundred thousand troops to kill the Emperor," Wumu must doubt whether the trap in front of him is a trap, but the words from Yueshan still make him feel moved.

"Let’s say that, Master Wumu, don’t forget, the porcelain produced in my Yueshan province is best-selling throughout the empire, and half of it will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the empire. The rest should be enough to pay!" Yueshan He gritted his teeth, shrugged his shoulders and said. Please search () to see the most complete! Although Wu Mu is a native of Dongting, in the eyes of Yue Shan, the people of Dongting grassland are actually no different from those of the north. They are both grassland people, and they are both bloodthirsty and murderous. It is even more commonplace, and only a majestic figure like the Falcon Emperor can control these bloodthirsty eagle dogs. In Yanzhou, Yueshan can be said to have fought the grassland people for a lifetime. Naturally, it is clear that you want to let These butchers are willing to put down the fat in their mouths. The only way is to buy this fat. The prairie people are still very sincere in the spirit of the original era. They can basically do everything they promise.

Yue Shan let out a wry smile, and continued, "I believe Master Wumu has seen it too. Your Majesty will hand over Yanzhou to me, but the land of Yanzhou is almost no man’s land, and there is not enough labor, even basic labor. I can’t, so I need people, a large number of people, the more the better, I believe that even if your majesty knows, he won’t pursue this too much."

"Understood, what's your opinion on Governor Yueshan's proposal?" Wu Mu was silent for a moment, looking at the patriarchs of the Dongting tribe behind him like an eagle.

"Since you are a prisoner of war, you should be able to deal with it like this, right" a Dongting patriarch replied with blinking eyes

"What if King Khan asks by any chance?" Some people also expressed concern

"Kan Khan wants us to destroy Daizhou within three days. As for the people of Daizhou, we didn’t say anything in particular!" Someone said categorically, "And don’t forget, the empire has always been There is a custom of redemption for prisoners of war. Since Governor Yueshan is willing to help them with the redemption money, it is reasonable and reasonable for these Chinese and Byanites to hand over to Governor Yueshan."

"It seems that everyone has no opinion?" Wu Mu's eyes flashed, and he asked again. For Yueshan's proposal, the heads of the tribes were obviously tempted. It is said that there are millions of people from Central Asia in Daizhou. Calculated on the basis of the most common prisoner of war ransom money per person and one silver coin, that is also hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This is definitely not a small amount. Anyway, it is necessary to fight Daizhou. Prisoners of war are easy things and can be taken with money. Why not do it,

"Let's do it then!" Wu Mu's gaze cast coldly. As the commander-in-chief of the Dongting Army this time, he himself was the governor of the empire. Without touching the emperor's bottom line, he thought There is no big problem in handing these Zhongbian people to Yueshan. Even if the emperor knew it, it was just Nunuzui at best, would it really be impossible to pursue it! If Yue Shan really did any brutal actions, the Imperial Supervision Department would naturally take care of these, and it would not be the turn of his own regional governor to worry about it

Moreover, Wumu knew very well how urgent the desire for the spoils of the various ministries of the East Court was after being suppressed by the emperor for a year. I finally hoped that this battle against the southwest of Central and Bahia, although some gains, was far from reaching the level expected by the ministries. It was at the strong request of the ministries that the emperor secretly transferred them to Yanzhou. I guessed that it must be done to Daizhou, but no one knows how much oil and water there can be, and it has been two or three months for these Dongting patriarchs to come to China and Biya, and they are no longer just about the situation in China and Biya. When I came, I was completely blinded. The base camp of the Fengtai Division of the grassland in Daizhou was located, and the Fengtai Division is the most popular grassland recently

It is said that the cavalry has more than 100,000 combat power, and it has faintly surpassed the original emperor Yelujia, becoming the largest military group of the steppemen in Central Bialand. If the empire goes to Daizhou, the steppe cavalry will fight against the steppe cavalry. There will be too much cheap to stand, this will be a fierce battle! Before the war, it would be better if you could improve morale a bit

Seeing Wumu agreeing, smiles appeared on the nervous faces of the patriarchs.

"Okay, the gate of Daizhou has been opened. How much you can get depends on your own ability!" Wu Mu pulled out the saber on his waist and pointed to the fortress that had fallen in front. Flocking forward, the earth is ferocious, and the stalks are flying. Mongol did indeed drew out most of the entire Fengtai Tribe this time. Together with the other tribes gathered, more than 100,000 cavalry went south, and the rest remained in the generation The state is less than 20,000 people. As for the empire, the Fengtai Department did not have any precautions. Ten thousand of the 20,000 cavalrymen of the Fengtai Department were on the Yanzhou line. According to intelligence, the Fengtai Department knew that there was only Yueshan in Yanzhou. Thousands of people are very reluctant to protect themselves, let alone forcibly go south. No one thought that 80,000 elite cavalry would suddenly emerge from the grassland.

Eighty thousand East Court cavalry poured into Daizhou, and there were even generals like Wu Mu under the command. In just one day, the 80,000 East Court cavalry led by Wu Mu directly defeated the northern part of the Fengtai Department. Line, the defenders of the Fengtai Department who had not had time to react, were attacked by the East Court cavalry almost at the same moment, and were wiped out on the line of defense in an instant

The strong bows of the East Court archers are as dense as leeches. Not only do they have a better range than their grassland bows, but also their armor is more prominent. The Fengtai troops who stayed behind in Daizhou are not elite. They are used to it. I used bows and arrows to bully the people of Central and Biyadh, and now I met Dongting people who were stronger than them, and I was beaten up immediately.

Under the arrow clusters, countless Dongting infantrymen as many as ants climbed the city wall. Although the steppemen were not good at attacking cities, the Dongting people had already regarded siege and land grabbing in the empire's several wars. It is a commonplace meal. Daizhou is only the rear supply center of the Yanzhou barrier. Except for the defense center Longshibao, the walls of other cities are not tall. In addition, the tug of war between the Long family and Fengtaibu in Daizhou is even more against Daizhou. Many of the city walls have caused damage

After the Fengtai Department entered Daizhou, it never thought that someone would enter Daizhou one day. Naturally, it was unwilling to spend money and manpower to repair these defects.

"Machetes and longbows are naturally the best to deal with enemies. Walls are only used by cowards in China."

The proud Fengtai tribesmen have never looked at the wall repaired by the Chinese people. They think that if the wall is useful, the capital of the Chinese people will not be breached twice in a row. Tens of millions of Chinese and Byanians will not become slaves to the grassland. Now, facing the influx of East Court cavalry, the defenders of Fengtai Department have discovered how outrageous they are.

Without the cover of a strong city wall~IndoMTL.com~ They have no chance of resisting the opponent's advancing like a blazing prairie fire. The opponent's archers are floating like a cloud, with countless clusters of arrows flying across the sky. Come, rush the car, suppress with bows and crossbows, and light infantry rushes into the city. In the hands of these Dongting patriarchs, they are not unfamiliar with each other. Even if the Dongting archers are in the Imperial Army, they are recognized as the first bows. The cavalry, and the heavy armored Dongting archer, is the nemesis of all long-range archers. In the Obaro area, the more sturdy and towering fortresses are not unattended. They are no longer the Dongting that is not good at attacking cities. Army,

At noon the next day, when Ludor, the fourth city north of Longshibao, which was the dividing line, fell, news of the imperial invasion of Daizhou spread from Daizhou

Staring at the slightly dark red color on the majestic and tall city wall in front of him, Wu Mu's eyes narrowed into a line. He knew the name of the fortress that looked like a dragon lying in front of him, Dragon Stone Fort. After millions of refugees from Central and Bialand defeated the Fengtai Department, the name of Longshibao spread throughout Central and Bialand. Even Wu Mu had heard of it, and the huge barrier in front of him gradually became It coincides with the Dragon Stone Fort in Wu Mu's heart, with its back against the mountain wall, and the forward formed front stretches in two lines, like the mouth of a dragon. That's why it is named Dragon Stone Fort. It is conceivable that the dragon will be driven on that day. When millions of refugees hit the two lines from the front on both sides, how many arrows flew out, and how many refugees died under this wall, with corpses all over the field. It is said that the corpses were piled up from the wall to the bottom of the city. It is said that there are 200,000 refugees, and there is another saying that it is 150,000, which even caused the arrows of the Fengtai archer to shoot out, and he had to fight melee against the attacking Zhongbei.

No matter which kind it is, it proves that this city wall is a solid wall that can really devour the flesh and blood of the enemy
