Chapter 576 Wolf Totem(1/2)

In Liaodong, the situation worsened.

After the Liaodong city garrison Lu Xiangsheng was killed in the attack on Fuyu Kingdom, nomadic tribes and fishing and hunting tribes in various places were ready to move.

The Wuhuan tribe asked Sun Chuanting, the prefect of western Liaoning, for the Wuhuan master Qiu Liju and Tadun who were under house arrest by Sun Chuanting.

The various Xianbei tribes stopped attacking each other, watching from the wall, waiting for changes.

The Goguryeo tribes are increasingly active in Liaodong.

The uprising of the Goryeo Kingdom was getting bigger and bigger, and the guardian of the Goryeo Kingdom tried hard to suppress the uprising of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Gongsun Kang fled back to Xuantu County from Fuyu State and immediately recruited troops to resist the enemies from Fuyu State. Xuantu County was located between Liaodong County and Fuyu State. Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong Army were wiped out, so Xuantu County became an obstacle for Fuyu State to invade Liaodong.

People in Liaodong were in panic, and Fan Wencheng, the Minister of Interior of Mingguan, did his best to appease the people.

The teleportation array flashed white light, and a black-robed military advisor appeared from the teleportation array. Among them, Li Chenggui, the King of Kangxian of Goryeo, also came.

"The situation is critical now. If you can help the Lord to fair the situation, then the position of the Lord of Goryeo will be yours in the future."

The black-clad prime minister Yao Guangxiao lured Li Chenggui for profit and asked Li Chenggui to lead the vassal army of Goryeo to assist the Liaodong army and stabilize the situation.

Originally, Yao Guangxiao and Li Chenggui were ordered to go to the Heilongjiang River Basin to participate in the suppression of the Great Jin Kingdom, but Liaodong City suddenly lost control and Yao Guangxiao was dispatched by Mingguan to stabilize the situation.

Liaodong City is the most important territory of Mingguan. If Liaodong City is lost, Mingguan will not be able to obtain enough supplies in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and perhaps it will fail.

"Please rest assured that the military advisor will do its best to serve the lord!"

Li Chenggui immediately agreed.

This was also his opportunity. He had betrayed the Yiren of Goryeo. Only by obtaining the support of Mingguan can he become the king of Goryeo and suppress those who oppose him in Goryeo.

Yao Guangxiao brought Li Chenggui to the lord's mansion in Liaodong City. Officials and generals went in and out of the lord's mansion, dispatched troops and appeased the tribes, and were in a panic.

Fan Wencheng, who was in charge of the internal affairs, saw Yao Guangxiao and others coming, so he stood up: "You are here."

"How many soldiers are available now? General Li's Goryeo Army has about 50,000."

Yao Guangxiao asked Fan Wencheng directly about the troops in the Liaodong City area.

"There is also a team of Eight Banners of the Han army, which is a special branch of the lord. He has always been stationed in Liaodong City. Even if the Tianxiong Army attacked Fuyu Kingdom, he did not use the Eight Banners of the Han army."

"Concentrate the main forces and go to Xuantu County to set up defenses. We must know where this enemy that led to Lu Xiangsheng's death came from."

Yao Guangxiao knew that a powerful enemy might not be terrible, but the real terrible enemy was an unknown enemy.

"Before being surrounded, Lu Xiangsheng opened up the passage between Fuyu Kingdom and Xuantu County, sent some Yi people and prisoners out, and obtained important information for us."

"Can the prisoners explain that they were cavalry from the Jin Dynasty? Or were they cavalry from Goguryeo, or Mongolian or Xianbei?"

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but be moved.

Lu Xiangsheng knew the importance of intelligence to the decision-making of the Liaodong Army. Before he was trapped in the other side's siege, he handed the prisoners to the breakout Yi Ren lord in advance and sent out the important information.

The alien lord was knowledgeable and combined with the torture of the Liaodong Army, he could definitely obtain important information from the prisoners.

Fan Wencheng handed over a volume of documents to Yao Guangxiao: "According to the captive enemy soldiers' explanations, they belong to part of the Pishi Army. And the Yiren Lord claimed that the Pishi Army was an elite Khitan army."

Yao Guangxiao took the documentary record of torture of the Khitan prisoners and frowned.

Not to mention Lu Xiangsheng, even he believed that the enemy who helped Fuyu Kingdom was a small group of Jin cavalry, and it might even be the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe. However, the results of the torture of the prisoners showed that this cavalry was not the Jurchen, the Xianbei, nor the Mongolian, but the Khitan!

"This is the barbarians who came to Liaodong. Like the Jin Kingdom, the number of enemies we face has increased again."

Yao Guangxiao realized the seriousness of the problem.

It is not easy to deal with the Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom, and Khitan cavalry appeared in Fuyu Kingdom again, which is a big deal.

The Liao Kingdom also has its own elite army - the Pishou Army.

"Defending the Khitans, we should focus on defense. Only when the lord captures the capital of Jin, returns to Liaodong, and attacks us from north to south can we eliminate the Khitan cavalry entrenched in Fuyu..."

It is difficult for Yao Guangxiao to use strategies to eliminate a powerful force that suddenly appeared under the premise of insufficient troops.

At its peak, the Liao Kingdom defeated the Northern Song Dynasty, which was not long after its founding, and the death of Song generals Yang Ye and others was undoubtedly an extremely powerful enemy.

The matters explained by the prisoners of the Pishi Army were not detailed, such as the person who was entrenched in Fuyu State was unknown.

"I urgently reported that Gongsun Kang, the cavalry commander of Xuantu County, asked for help, and a large number of unknown cavalry and Fuyu people attacked Xuantu County!"

When Yao Guangxiao returned to Liaodong City and met Fan Wencheng, Xuantu County suddenly became anxious!

"Just relying on the guards of Xuantu County, even if there are powerful and powerful rebels, they cannot defend for a long time. They must go to Xuantu County before the teleportation array of Xuantu County is cut off, otherwise it will be too late. Li Chenggui, you set off immediately."

"Abide by the order!"

Li Chenggui led the troops of the Goryeo Kingdom and used the teleportation array from Liaodong City to head to the Xuantu County defense line.

"The lord should agree to use the Eight Banners of the Han Army. The situation is critical. You cannot hesitate at all and mobilize the Eight Banners of the Han Army to march towards Xuantu County. You cannot rely entirely on the teleportation array. Maybe the Khitan cavalry will soon approach the city of Xuantu County, causing the teleportation array to fail."

Yao Guangxiao immediately presided over the defense of Xuantu County.

Fan Wencheng hesitated for a while and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Should we recruit the servants of the Wuhuan tribe, the Xianbei tribe, and the Goguryeo tribe to use these tribes to consume Khitan cavalry? Sooner or later, these tribes will be a hidden danger, and it is better to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf."

Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, his eyes filled with his spirit: "What you say is nothing. Moreover, there are several generals of the Goryeo Kingdom who tried to recruit prisoners, including several of them, who had the ability to command troops, especially the Yizhi Wende. Yizhi Wende was a Goguryeo military general and might not be willing to be loyal to the dead Cui Zaishan. If he could give him favors and promise to treat the Goguryeo people well, he might be willing to command the Goguryeo's servants."

"Murong Ba of the Yanqi Guild can force the Xianbei tribe to be loyal and command the Xianbei minion army."

"Striving to lure Qiu Liju of the Wuhuan tribe to command the Wuhuan minion army to fight for our Liaodong army."

“Very good.”

Fan Wencheng and Yao Guangxiao are good at strategy and people's hearts, and they simply discuss and try to use their power to use heroes to manipulate various tribes and stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

In Xuantu County, Li Chenggui, the King of Kangxian of Goryeo, led the Goryeo Legion and used the teleportation array to arrive at the city.

The teleportation array has limited troops to be transmitted every day. Li Chenggui's Goryeo Legion only teleported 10,000 people. The Khitan cavalry had already reached the city and cut off the teleportation array!

The soldiers of Xuantu County and Yiren Leading Army retreated step by step under the offensive of the Khitan cavalry.

The Khitans' wolf totem battle flags were waving, the elite Pishi Army cavalry galloped, and Gongsun Kang's Xuantu County soldiers were defeated in front of the Khitan general's offensive.

Gongsun Kang was also a famous general in Liaodong at the end of the Han Dynasty, but he was facing the Khitans. Some Khitan generals could defeat the Northern Song Dynasty shortly after its founding. It was not comparable to the small forces like Gongsun Kang who were in a stable corner at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Kang abandoned Lu Xiangsheng and fled back to Xuantu County. After the Khitan cavalry defeated Lu Xiangsheng, he chased and killed him all the way to Xuantu County and attacked the city and captured the village.

The strategic intention of the Khitan cavalry was very simple. They used the Fuyu people to attract the main force of the Liaodong Army to Fuyu Kingdom and annihilate it. Then the army went south to attack Xuantu County and Liaodong County, occupied Liaodong, and established their own dynasty.

Although this strategy is simple, it is directly at the critical point.

Li Chenggui held the bow and shot a Khitan cavalry below with his might. The arrows penetrated the throat of the Khitan cavalry through a hundred steps, causing many Xuantu County defenders to look at him.

As the first bow general in Goryeo, Li Chenggui was quite powerful.

"My legion has only ten thousand people, and the teleportation array has expired. If the other reinforcements do not arrive as soon as possible, Xuantu County will... not be able to defend..."

When Li Chenggui saw the Khitan cavalry everywhere under the city, he couldn't help but frown.

The main force of the Liaodong Army went to the Heilongjiang River Basin to attack the Jin Kingdom. Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, Jin Wushu, Dorgon and others were all in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Liaodong County had empty troops and it was very difficult to resist the Khitan cavalry.

Among the tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry, a carriage came to the city, and the Khitan general who was in charge of attacking Xuantu County dismounted, came to the side of the carriage, and asked the people in the carriage for orders.

The curtain of the carriage was opened by a jade hand, and a woman looked at the city of Xuantu County, with clear and intelligent eyes: "The Fuyu Kingdom is weak, and the Liaodong Army is not wary of it, so the city defense of Xuantu County is nothing but Er. Drive away the Fuyu people, the Bohai people and the servants of Xuantu County, and capture this city within ten days."

"If Liaodong City sends reinforcements, what should we do?"

"Defeat."

The Khitan general said, "Yes."

The woman put down the curtain to cover her amazing face.

The cavalry of the Piss Army protected the carriage and handed over the task of attacking the city to the Khitan generals responsible for siege.

This woman looks more like a noble among the Khitans, and her status is not as high as an ordinary person.

The Khitan army built siege equipment under the city, summoned a group of Fuyu soldiers, Xuantu County soldiers, as well as Bohai soldiers and Goguryeo soldiers. As servants, they planned to adopt the usual sea of ​​people tactics to capture the capital of Xuantu County.

Once the Khitan army is allowed to capture Xuantu County, the Khitan forces will have Fuyu Kingdom and Xuantu County as their territory in Liaodong, and will be attacked from both sides of Mingguan.

Whether it is the Han army or the Khitan army, they regard the servant army as cannon fodder and consume them to attack the city without any pain.

When Gongsun Kang saw that the Khitan army had assembled tens of thousands of servants to build siege equipment under the city, he looked like a large-scale siege, and he couldn't help but regret abandoning Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army in Fuyu Kingdom.

If Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army had some of its troops back to Xuantu County, with Lu Xiangsheng's ability, they could still stick to the reinforcements until the arrival of reinforcements.

Gongsun Kang's ability to defend the city was not as good as Lu Xiangsheng, but now he has to rely on Li Chenggui of Goryeo.

Li Chenggui's palm holding the longbow was sweating, and sweat flowed down his bow.

A Khitan general under the city looked up at Li Chenggui, Gongsun Kang and others, very disdainful.

As long as the Khitans were ready, they would drive away the minion army and continuously attack Xuantu County.

Dozens of cavalry rushed out of Liaodong City, galloping towards the Wuhuan tribe, Xianbei tribe, and Goguryeo tribe, contacting the servants who surrendered to the Liaodong army.

...

Bingzhou and Yue Fei's Bingzhou Army were resting and recuperating in Taiyuan County, Shuofang County, Yunzhong County and other places, recruiting troops and defending Hetao and the southern Mo area.

Xueyue, who was in charge of intelligence, came to Longcheng, Monan.

Longcheng in Monan hoarded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to confront the cavalry in Mobei.

It is easier to attack Mobei from Mobei and the south of the Mobei from the Gobi Desert and Plateau. On the contrary, if you attack Mobei from the south of the Mobei, it will be quite difficult without a teleportation array.
