Three days later, Xuesha Dugu and others who had returned from their training gathered at the foot of Shensha City. Hundreds of thousands of sabers and guns were unsheathed, and two long rows of simple siege vehicles built during the past few days were laid out. However, Facing the formation of the Hetao army, the defenders in the city did not panic at all. Even the few soldiers who had been hanging around in the city tower in the past two days disappeared.
Standing next to Haotian, Xin Jiao suddenly whispered: "Husband, I heard faint crying coming from the city."
"Crying?" Haotian frowned, and Luo Xiang sighed with emotion. When Xin Jiao first came to Haotian, his strength was slightly inferior to his own. As a result, in just a few years, he was She left it behind. It seemed that after Xin Jiao untied her knot, her martial arts had made great progress.
"Crying, they don't cry early or late, but they are crying at this time. Is it because they know their death is coming?" Zhao Dawu said with a smile.
Dugu frowned and said: "Cassimbas is still in the city. Even if we force hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city, it will be difficult to take Shensha City after three to five days of effort."
"Is Cassimbas already dead?" Xian Lianchen said unintentionally.
Haotian and others looked at each other, and Du Shuai was the first to say: "Lord, let's test it out first."
Haotian nodded. When Dugu saw this, he was unambiguous and directly ordered Long Zhishan and Zhou Jilong to personally lead the army into battle.
As a result, something surprising happened. The soldiers of the White Tiger Army walked carefully to the bottom of Shensha City. There was no resistance at all. Zhou Jilong kicked the city gate. The city gate trembled. Zhou Jilong stretched out his hand and pushed the city gate. He was actually pushed away.
"Zhou Jilong, did you just walk into the city gate and suddenly five hundred swordsmen and axes came out from both sides, or a hail of arrows?" Dugu was still in the mood to joke at this time.
Haotian held his breath and looked nervously at Zhou Jilong at the city gate.
Zhou Jilong and Long Zhishan obviously hesitated at the city gate. In the end, Zhou Jilong walked into the city gate with a group of soldiers with his head shrinking. After a moment, Zhou Jilong's figure appeared on the city tower.
"There is not even a single soldier on the city wall?" Haotian said in surprise. As soon as he said the words, Haotian suddenly found that Xue Sha, Dugu and others were looking at him with smiles on their faces. Haotian's face suddenly turned hot. Zhou Jilong The news that came back made Haotian even more ashamed. Even Luo Xiang and Xuanji lowered their heads and could not say a word.
On that night three days ago, Cassimbas's life finally came to an end. Cassimbas knew very well the current situation of Baijing. If he were still here, then Shensha City would never fall and Baijing would not perish. However, after he left, Hekimul's talents were simply unable to carry this banner.
In desperation, Cassimbas left Hekimul a plan before his death to ensure the continuation of the Baijing Kingdom. Although this would take many years of hard work, at least he would not be reduced to the situation of Baijing in Haixi. situation. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to save a strategic failure with a tactical success.
That night, when the 20,000 soldiers rushing out from the mass graves diverted the attention of the Hetao side and even attracted all the cavalry, more than 100,000 soldiers from Beijing successfully gathered near the north gate and then covered the way from Pliski II, who escaped from the tunnel, fled northward.
According to Cassimbas's plan, he only hopes that the 20,000 infantrymen can burn all the logistics supplies in Hetao. In this way, without enough food, grass and supplies, even the Hetao cavalry will not be able to effectively attack the fleeing soldiers in Beijing.
pursuit.
As expected by Cassimbas, the troops behind the Hetao were too weak. The surprise attack of 20,000 soldiers brought huge difficulties to the Hetao. If that tunnel could hide more soldiers, maybe Haotian City
It was dangerous. In order to ensure the safety of Haotian, Luo Xianghe Xuanji had to immediately transfer back the Hetao cavalry. As a result, there was no Hetao cavalry guarding the area near the north gate. The Hetao side was not even aware of the escape of more than 100,000 soldiers from Beijing.
In order to confuse the Loop, Cassimbas also deliberately left a trick to let Hekimul put on such a good show in person. In fact, at that time, there were only less than 30,000 soldiers left in Shensha City, and all of them were killed that night.
They were concentrated on the city wall, and the defensive equipment on the city wall was because Hekimur carried the remaining three city walls and all the inventory in the city onto the city wall.
After bluffing to scare off the Hetao army, Hekimur immediately began to arrange for the 30,000 soldiers in the city to sneak away secretly through the tunnel at the north gate. Hekimur already knew that Hetao was preparing to attack the city in three days, so the main task of these three days was
He continued to confuse the Hetao and arranged for the nobles in the city to leave the city one by one.
Therefore, when the Hetao army pushed open the gate of Shensha City, there was no longer even a single Beijing-baiting regular army in the city.
After killing Dugu and Feng Jingxin, all the senior military officials in Ganhetao stood behind Haotian. Looking at Haotian's increasingly red face, Dugu even worried that Haotian would explode with a bang.
At this time, even Dugu didn't dare to add insult to injury. He stepped forward and patted Haotian on the shoulder and said: "My lord, Cassimbas is a famous general. After all, he has dominated the world for more than sixty years and has never been defeated in a hundred battles in his life. A tiger will never die.
It's normal to be upset."
Xin Jiao also consoled him and said: "Husband, when Cassimbas was here, we didn't take Baijing seriously. Now that Cassimbas is dead, Hekimul's only more than 100,000 soldiers fled in embarrassment.
As long as we raise our troops and march north, we can easily defeat the enemy outside the Great Wall. Husband, take a longer view and don't always worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place."
Haotian's face finally looked much better. After being played by Cassimbas like this, even if he was defeated by him on the battlefield, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so humiliating.
"Sir, please arrange your personnel and pay close attention to Hekimur's movements. Commander Du, now you have all the power to deploy the troops. In half a month, half a month, the area south of Shensha City must be wiped out." Hao.
The way of heaven.
"Yes." The two of them accepted the order at the same time.
Haotian thought for a while, but still felt uncomfortable standing here. Although Dugu and others didn't say anything, he felt unhappy. He simply excused himself to go back to look after the Hao Jin brothers, and retreated to the Qingyun in despair.
Haotian had just taken a few steps when he heard Dugu whisper from behind: "I bet that the master will be buried in the arms of several mistresses immediately after returning, looking for comfort."
"Which mistress do you think it is?" This was Lou Jing's voice.
"Ahem." Xue Sha was the elder after all. He coughed and said righteously: "Pay attention to your image, and don't think about the occasion." Dugu and others were about to turn around and criticize Xue Sha.
He was so sanctimonious, and the bloody killing lived up to his expectations. He quickly said with a smile: "But I think it should be Mistress Qingcheng. Have you noticed that Mistress Qingcheng has been performing tasks these days and has no time to be intimate with the lord?
…”
Kashuai died, and Bai Jing died.
Hetao's original prediction came true. Once Cassimbas died, no one in Baijing would be able to support the overall situation. Due to lack of food, the defenders of Shensha City fled first, and the entire city collapsed. And the entire Baijing Dynasty, due to lack of food,
The failure of the Battle of Changhua on that day resulted in the loss of all the able-bodied men in the country. Therefore, when Hekimur led 150,000 soldiers to protect the Baijing King Pulski II and a group of nobles and fled to the north, except for
Obtaining a large amount of food was quite difficult in other aspects, and even replenishing soldiers was quite difficult.
"Why are there so many nonsense? I'm asking, what on earth is Hejimu'er doing now?" Facing Dugu Yuming who was talking endlessly, Haotian said with a straight face.
Dugu knew that Haotian was in a bad mood right now and wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, but he was not afraid of Haotian at all. He just said with a smile: "Hekimur is now trying to gain a foothold in the northern area of Baijing, and there are people like Xi and Xi.
The trend of Mandan Yelu Mingzhuang teaming up."
"Yelu Mingzhuang, how can he join forces with Heji Muer based on his talent?" Haotian said disdainfully.
The Eastern Army marched north from Black Rock City. Knowing that their destruction was imminent, Yelu Mingzhuang frantically expanded his army. In the entire northern Mandan area, all the territory he still controlled was included in the army. He actually allowed him to use more than 20,000 soldiers
The number of soldiers expanded to more than 200,000. However, as soon as they collided head-on with the Eastern Army, they were immediately wiped out. Yeluming's large army, which had no fighting spirit at all, turned around and ran away as soon as they entered the battle.
Yelv Mingzhuang himself almost died in this battle. Fortunately, his personal guards were still loyal and finally rescued him from thousands of deserters. However, this battle also completely destroyed Yelv Mingzhuang's ability to cede territory and stand on his own feet.
The idea was to start a hide-and-seek game with the Eastern Legion. Chu Lianfeng was not in a hurry. He just followed the plan made by Xuanji at the beginning and slowly swept through Mandan's territory like a comb, trying not to leave any trace behind.
Even if it is a living person.
Chu Lianfeng is also a person who doesn't like civil war, but he will not be soft on the aliens outside the Great Wall. He participated in the Battle of Hukou that day and witnessed with his own eyes the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of people in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures committing suicide and martyring their country.
From that time onwards, Chu Lianfeng formed an indissoluble feud with the three tribes in the Northeast. Now that he can get some interest back for the people who died in the battle, Chu Lianfeng is still very happy.
Dugu paused for a moment and then said: "But there is another piece of news that we need to pay attention to."
"What's the news?" Haotian was a little curious. Cassimbas was dead and Shensha City had been captured. There should be nothing on the Northeast Plains. However, seeing Dugu's serious expression, Haotian couldn't help but become serious.
"Hekimur sent an envoy to the far north to ask for a meeting with their great chief Monselik, and the Abate people have also gathered in varying degrees these days." Dugu said slowly.
Haotian frowned slightly and said to himself: "Do the Abate people want to wade into this muddy water? Aren't they mortal enemies with the three Northeastern countries? It was time for our clan to destroy Haixi that day, and the people north of Xing'an Mountains
The people of Haixi were massacred by the Abat people."
"This is not a reason. We have fought several battles with Rouran before, but now we can sit down and have peace talks?" Dugu said nonchalantly.
Top executives like Dugu also knew about the peace talks between Kipchak Khan's envoy Camp and Chu Xiangcheng, and when Haotian asked, they all raised their hands to support the peace talks between the two parties. Not to mention that Rouran and Hetao were not that deep.
Their hatred is just for Fengjing's sake, so they won't go against it. Besides, Daisler is very popular in Hetao, and everyone is happy about it.
"This is different, but we really need to pay attention to this news. Hey, the total population of the Abbat people is more than one million, and there are nearly 400,000 armored men. They are truly all soldiers. Moreover, the extreme northern coast is quite bitter and cold. After August
, the southern region of the Far North Coast will also be frozen. If they really get involved, it will cause us some trouble. Sir, let Lu Chengde spend more time and make sure to confirm the accuracy of the news." Haotian said.
.
For the Abate people on the far north coast, they have no feeling about the Hetao. For them, the Abate people are still a very distant place. There is no interaction between the two sides, and of course, there is no conflict. However,
People in Hetao have heard about the toughness of the Abate people.
Affected by the geographical environment and climate, the closer to the north, the more muscular the local people are. Just like the people of the three northeastern countries, they are generally one head taller than the monkeys of Mitsukoshi.
The far north coast where the Abbate people are located is the name of the coast of the Ice Ocean. The climate here is cold. Only in midsummer, the floating ice in the southern part of the Ice Ocean will melt, forming a short warm period. This is also the time when the Abbate people are active.
Most often, they must prepare enough food during this period, whether it is hunting or fishing, they are very busy.
After midsummer, the far north coast froze again. When food was scarce, the Abbat people would go south to rob. Because their social form was quite backward, their IQs were generally low, and they were typical barbarians with well-developed limbs and simple minds.
They only know how to fight head-on and rush forward without knowing any tricks. But because the climate on the far north coast is really cold, even the armies of the three Northeastern countries cannot stay here for too long, and as soon as the Abbat people are attacked
If they counterattack, they will immediately retreat to the extreme northern coast. In addition, the center of gravity of the Northeastern Three Kingdoms is the Shenzhou Dynasty in the south, so the Northeastern Three Kingdoms have always been unable to deal with the Abat people.
The current chief of the Abate people, Meng Serik, is characterized by his greed for money and lust. And for decades, no matter how powerful the three Northeastern countries to the south were, they could not pose a substantial threat to them, so they also developed arrogance.
Hetao has a high-spirited character. Hetao does not want to conflict with the Abate people. The northern coast has not been the territory of the Chinese dynasty since ancient times. Even in the Han and Tang Dynasties, when China was the most powerful, the territory of China only reached the Baizhou territory.
Fishing sea and Hetao at the junction of the central and northern parts of Beijing and Mandan. Although he is a war maniac, he is not unreasonable.
"However, it is best to prepare early. If the Abat people really join forces with the remnants of Baijing, then we must formulate a corresponding strategic plan." Luo Xiang reminded.
The city of Shensha was destroyed, and Cassimbas's body was also found by the soldiers of Hetao during the massacre of the city. Over the years, no fewer than half a million soldiers died in the Hetao under the Northeastern Allied Forces led by Cassimbas, but whether it was Haotian's blood
Sha Luo Xiang and other high-level officials are still the most ordinary soldiers. Everyone admires Kasimbas. The army is a place that worships the strong and famous generals. Only the truly strong can win their respect. Kasimba
Although the positions of such a famous general like Si are different, they are indeed the ones they respect.
"Find a place with better feng shui and bury him." Haotian said with emotion. After Luo Xiang heard this, he actually took care of the matter himself. Because of this, Cassimbas became the leader of the Hetao tribe in the process of annihilating the three Northeastern countries.
Among them, he was the only one who was buried with a monument on his own initiative.
Good news finally came from near Mifeng City. After receiving reinforcements from the Red Snake Legion's 20,000 infantry and cavalry, Li Xiaomo completely blocked Mifeng City. Xiao Shicheng broke through three times, but without exception, he was defeated by Li Xiao
The desert blocked his main force and forced him to retreat into the city.
The number of Mandan defenders in Mifeng City is not much different from the 20,000 infantry and cavalry of Li Xiaomo's Flying Bear Legion and Red Snake Legion. Li Xiaomo was able to rely on the weak cavalry advantage to see Xiao Shicheng killed here. It is obvious that in the military
He does have extraordinary talent.
Chu Lianfeng also had a series of battles there, and the construction of the Bone Palace in Mandan had been completed. Chu Lianfeng was not the murderous and unblinking group of iron-blooded executioners in Hetao, so although he also carried out a cold-blooded massacre in the northern part of Mandan,
, but they were not escorted to the Gulan area to build a city like Hetao.
The construction of the city of Mandan has ended, but the construction of Baijing is in full swing.
Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion went to Miyun City, but was supplemented by Cheng Xiang's Qilin Legion. The total strength of Hetao remained the same as during the Northern Expedition. Although the Red Snake Legion and the Qilin Legion were both reorganized after the Dingzhou Incident,
Compared with the Red Snake Legion fighting south, the Qilin Legion, which has been guarding the Juyongguan Fortress and goes out to compete with the Baijing army from time to time, is obviously more powerful in combat. Especially when attacking cities and plundering territory, it has been able to challenge the Legion of Honor.
On par.
The efficiency of Soul Eater is still very good. In just two days, Lu Chengde sent back the latest news. After Hekimul knew that he could not withstand the force of Hetao, he sent a large amount of property to the Abat people's army.
Chief Monselik gave him the two princesses of Pliski II. Monselik, who was already greedy for money and lust, was overjoyed. In addition, Hekimur and Puliski II both made it clear that they were prepared to
Monserik, who had taken refuge in the Abate people and was overwhelmed by the temptation before him, agreed to their request without hesitation and let Hekimul and others lead the Baijing soldiers to take refuge in the territory of the Abate people.
As for the other elders of the Abate people and the powerful local chiefs, they also think this is a good decision. The distance between them and the Hetao is really too far. In their opinion, the Hetao has defeated the three Northeastern countries.
, but they also often defeated the three Northeastern countries. Moreover, for hundreds of years, their southern enemies have never been able to enter their territory, and they have full confidence in their territory.
The most important thing is that Hekimul gave away most of the money and supplies he could collect to a large number of tribal elders and powerful figures, including Mengselik. Among the Abbat people who were in dire need of supplies,
It set off a huge wave and immediately won the favor of the Abate people. So everyone was quite satisfied with the surrender of the Baijing royal family.
