Chapter 156: It's All Black-bellied People
Five days later.
The Avant-garde area has become a hell on earth.
There are ruins everywhere here, and the tall and mighty avant-garde city has become a ruin.
There was smoke coming from the ruins. The defenders who retreated in the last time lit all the catapults, crossbows and other equipment with heavy oil. They were almost burning.
The vassals from Baekje are carrying the bodies of both sides of the enemy and us and burying them into the digging nearby.
Grassland people are absolutely professional in burying corpses, because once a plague occurs, it is not as simple as dying tens of thousands of people. Even after livestock are infected, millions of cattle, horses and sheep are likely to die.
The road has been cleaned up, and Yelu Feiyang led a group of nobles and generals to slowly ride through the Forward City.
Looking at the already dark smoked ruins, Yelu Feiyang sighed: "You think, why are the people of Dakang so good at defending? It is just a vanguard city! More than 30,000 people have been killed or injured! Then they have let them escape some."
"Isn't their characteristic just a turtle shell?" Erqin teased: "Third Prince, we are also called winning the flag. Next, we can realize our plan! This is a good thing, how can we not die in war?"
Marshal Wu Lizhen also nodded: "It is true that everything is based on purpose. Even if there are casualties and injuries in the middle, it is normal! Compared with our plan, this first step is still very successful."
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "We have only killed and injured five thousand soldiers in our room. Such losses can be accepted!"
Many people laughed when they heard this.
Lu Tu said, "Their tribes regard soldiers as consumables and only have property in their eyes. Although they have suffered a lot of damage, they still cannot compare to their desire for plunder! I really don't know what they will gain when they rushed to the Jinzhou City area now."
At this time, around the Forward City, except for the more than 60,000 elite troops from the Shiwei headquarters, only Baekje left behind 5,000 logistics soldiers to deal with the aftermath.
Later, they will also be responsible for completely demolishing the Avant-garde City and the hills, completely making the natural barrier advantage of this place a history.
The remaining vassal tribes were already riding horses to the Jinzhou area as soon as possible, wanting to see if there is anything worth snatching in the rural towns there.
Shi Wei looked down on these little things, so he let them out and walked slowly behind him.
It seems so on the surface.
But of course this is not the case.
Yelu Anxiang asked: "Brother, since we have broken the Forward City, why don't we rush forward and fight all the way to Jinzhou City? Isn't this very beneficial to our next plan?"
Yelu Feiyang liked this cousin very much, but at this moment he laughed, "You, there are still many things I don't know... Guess why we are so calm?"
"Because our catapults, siege cars, ladders, bows and arrows consume too much, so we need to supplement it?" Yelu Anxiang said.
"On the one hand, there are such reasons, but it is not the main one." Yelu Feiyang pointed to Han Mu, "Amu, you can tell them! There is more than one who doesn't understand."
Han Mu nodded: "Sir, this matter was not known because it was secretly secreted before. Now we have achieved our first goal and eliminated the first major obstacle that blocked our progress, so we can also tell it.
First of all, we are not in a hurry to attack Jinzhou City now, because time is on our side. It is only the end of March, and it is still half a year before the end of September autumn, which is completely enough.
Jinzhou City is different. They are in despair of being besieged by us, and cannot advance or retreat. We just need to consume their patience and make them panic, so that they can fight next."
"Can you still surround and fight for help?" Zupuguz smiled.
"Yes! This is your specialty." Han Mu complimented him and said, "We surround and do not fight. On the one hand, we avoid huge losses in urgent need, and on the other hand, we are to let them come to rescue Jinzhou City! If they do not respond for a while, then we will go straight to Ningyuan City, and Dakang will definitely not be able to stay stable."
"good!"
Erqie took a picture and licked his lips, "I hate such a siege the most. If they can fight with us in the wilderness, it would be the best! I will definitely wipe out all of them, and none of them can go back!"
"You shouldn't be careless." Yelu Feiyang reminded: "The defense line of the Shanhaiguan Great Wall is Li Nanyuan, the general of the Dakang Cavalry Guard. He has fought with us several times around the Liaohe River. I remember you have fought with him, right?"
"hehe!"
Erqian's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit: "Yes, an old acquaintance..."
"With Li Nanyuan's character, he will definitely lead his army to fight. He has the very elite imperial guards of Dakang, and this is the territory they are familiar with, so you can't be careless." Han Mu continued: "The most important thing we are now siegeing but not attacking is actually not in ourselves, but in our allies."
"You are talking about... the King of Jin in Qiyan?" A noble general couldn't help but snorted coldly: "This guy is unreliable! He stopped just after fighting a war. Although the army on the defense line of Datong Great Wall did not dare to move, he obviously wanted us to drill wood to make fire and get chestnuts for him!"
"Jin Chenbai is a cunning man, but his role is not that simple!" Han Mu said in harmony: "After the Datong defense line comes, it is the Shanxi area, and the Jingji area under Shanxi is the Jingji area. For their emperor, their imperial guards will be at least 30,000, and they dare not move! If the most elite imperial guards in Dakang do not interfere with us, we will inevitably lose a huge threat.
More importantly, we have another ally - Japan! Once we restrain Dakang's navy here, they will directly attack Dakang's Jiangnan! Compared with Jiangnan, Jinzhou and Ningyuan are important, but they are definitely at the back.
At that time, Jinzhou will be trapped by us for a long time and people will be panicked, and secondly, there will be no reinforcements and their combat effectiveness will be depressed. At that time, it will be the best time for us to conquer Jinzhou and Ningyuan in one fell swoop!"
After Han Mu said this, he immediately explained the entire strategic deployment clearly.
In fact, only Marshal Wu Lizhen knew the overall plan among the military generals. Now everyone suddenly heard it and suddenly felt that "Damn it, it's so great."
How did the Shiwei people know about any conspiracy plan in the past?
Now that Yelu Feiyang has made such a wonderful plan for the first time, he has made such a wonderful plan. It is really amazing.
Feeling the admiring eyes of a group of generals and nobles, Yelu Feiyang here said boldly: "Everyone, in fact, whether it is Qiyan or Japan, they are just icing on the cake. With them, we have decided to take Jinzhou and Ningyuan this time! The vast territory here and millions of people should belong to us!!"
"right!"
Erqin took a photo and said excitedly: "Under the leadership of the third prince, we will one day kill Shanhaiguan and truly enter the Central Plains! Only our Wei people are the masters of this world!"
He spoke proudly not because the vassal tribes were not there, but because he always said this.
Those present, including Yelu Feiyang, did not feel arrogant at all.
As the owner of the most powerful cavalry in this known world, Shi Wei has such capital!
"Then everyone!"
Yelu Feiyang raised his voice: "Now I order!"
A group of people suddenly raised their ears.
Faced with the upcoming battle, they were not afraid at all, but were eager to try.
"Now the vassal army has arrived in the Jinzhou area, and they dare not come out. The troops of our army left 30,000 people to besiege here, and the remaining 35,000 wade through the Xiaoling River and Liugu River without losing, and pass through the Jinzhou city defense." Yelu Feiyang said: "Leaded by Marshal Wulizhen, General Erqian Liuying and General Lu Tushousan."
"Abide by the order!"
The three of them agreed.
Erqian took a picture and clenched his fists.
Li Nanyuan, wait! This time I will completely kill you in this corridor of western Liaoning!
The more steady Marshal Wu Li Zhen's expression was a bit more solemn.
The terrain of Dakang Jinzhou defense line is very dangerous. Although it is not as dangerous as the Forward City, it can be backed by Songling and facing the Bohai Sea, which is also a rare natural barrier.
Not to mention the most central location of Jinzhou City, the Right Acropolis to the south is just stuck at the intersection of Xiaoling River and Liugu River. The places in front of them are all muddy places. The Xiaoling River and Liugu River flowing past are just on the side.
If you want to break through here, in addition to being covered by the vassal army, death and injury are inevitable - because when crossing the river, both people and horses basically lose their combat capabilities and can only be passively beaten.
But this is already the best place to break through the defense line.
It is several times more difficult to take the other roads than crossing the river.
This is why the army restrained the main force of the Dakang army. Otherwise, if the Acropolis alone rushed out, even if they had tens of thousands of people, they would have suffered almost all casualties.
Don’t underestimate the power of Dakang people’s positional warfare, which is far beyond that of all grassland people.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stick to this point.
Only hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching. In order to ensure the integrity of the entire Jinzhou defense line and last longer, they will not attack rashly.
But this road is three or five miles long, and it is a headache for Wu Lizhen to pass through such a long distance.
When he thought of Dakang's endless defensive tools and long-range attack equipment, he was even more upset.
But if there was not this opportunity, the losses of Shiwei's army would have increased several times. Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the defense lines in Jinzhou and Ningyuan in the future, the loss would be recognized.
