Thirty miles north of Liaoyang City, there were shouts of killing everywhere. At the same time, the smell of blood filled the surroundings, and countless hibernating animals were awakened and quietly came to this place to feast.
The battle lasted for an hour and finally stopped.
"Quickly, organize the team and count the casualties!" Yang Xiong hurriedly shouted to the people around him.
The casualties were quickly counted, and about 2,000 people of the Second Army were killed. As for the new auxiliary army, basically the entire army was wiped out. In such a battle, the new auxiliary army did not have any advantage even if they were cavalry.
The quality of individual soldiers and their ability to cooperate
They are far inferior to the Liangshan soldiers of the Second Army. In such a sluggish environment, even if the Liangshan soldiers are separated from the soldiers of their own platoon or company, they can quickly cooperate with the soldiers of other platoons and companies to kill the enemy together, and
The new auxiliary army did not have any cooperation.
"Brother!" Shi Xiu came to Yang Xiong's side at some point. He was covered in blood and his face was a little pale.
"Are you okay?" Yang Xiong asked hurriedly.
"Fortunately, I'm just exhausted. Moreover, I also caught a captain of ten thousand men." Shi Xiu said with a smile on his pale face.
Only then did Yang Xiong notice that Shi Xiu was holding a person on his hand. This person had a bare head and pigtails. He was dressed in a standard nv dress. At this moment, the nv was also looking at Yang Xiong with fire-breathing eyes. Shi
show.
"You damn Han dogs! When our real lady emperor comes back, we will definitely cut you into pieces." This real lady was none other than Wanyan Zongmei, and at this moment Wanyan Zongmei was cursing the two of them in broken Chinese.
His eyes were full of hatred. Ever since he learned the news about Huining Mansion, he had sworn to be incompatible with the Han people.
Yang Xiong looked at his eyes and was startled. He soon remembered what happened in Huining Mansion. Han Shizhong had killed so many nv real people. Now Liangshan and nvzhen had formed an undying feud. In this case, nv
There is no need for real prisoners to stay.
"Kill!" Yang Xiong said decisively.
Shi Xiu threw Wanyan Zongmei to the ground. Wanyan Zongmei was still trying to escape, but Shi Xiu's simple knife had already struck him on the head, and his head immediately flew up.
"Brother, we must quickly catch up with those people of all ethnic groups." Shi Xiu said.
"Not bad." Yang Xiong nodded, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to continue chasing north.
Of the 20,000-strong army, there are now only 18,000 left. Although they are tired, they are still marching forward. As for the people of all ethnic groups, they have not gone far. The real nv drove the people of Liao to his own country.
territory, the most important of which
The strong men have become members of the new annexed army, leaving behind some thin, short, old or young men. As for the women, the most beautiful ones are all taken over by real women, so those who remain are all
They are some unattractive women.
In an hour, they only traveled seven or eight miles. When Yang Xiong's army rushed up, the people were in chaos again.
"Restrain these people so that they are not allowed to make any noise or run away. If necessary, they can kill people." Yang Xiong gave the order coldly.
It was not until dawn that the order of these people became better. However, there were only 70,000 people left out of the original 80,000 people, and the rest fled to unknown directions.
"Let them follow us to Liaoyang City." Yang Xiong said.
So these people had no time to rest, and were driven towards Liaoyang City again. Although the sky was still snowing, they could see the road clearly now, and the people of all ethnic groups moved much faster.
Wanyan Zonghan led 50,000 cavalrymen galloping toward the northeast. They rode horses. Although the wind and snow were heavy, they had already traveled more than a hundred miles.
However, the soldiers were really exhausted. They had been attacking the city all day yesterday, and they were constantly on the road at night. When they arrived here, some people had already begun to fall behind. Wanyan Zonghan had to ask the soldiers to stop temporarily, and they began to move around.
Take a short rest in the jungle.
However, at this moment, dozens of newly defeated troops suddenly came towards this direction. Soon, Wanyan Zonghan and others knew about Wanyan Zongmei's attack.
They didn't know whether Wanyan Zongmei was dead or alive, but they knew that tens of thousands of people had been robbed by Yang Xiong.
Wanyan Zonghan frowned. He never thought that Yang Xiong would dare to use infantry to chase the cavalry, and Yang Xiong actually defeated 10,000 newly attached cavalry.
"The new auxiliary army is really incompetent! Absolutely incompetent! What should we do now? With such a large population, won't it fall into the hands of the Han again? Damn it? What should we do? Should we go back and snatch those people back?"
While Wanyan Zonghan was angry, he was also in a dilemma.
He wanted to go back and snatch those people back, but he was afraid of wasting time and being unable to successfully intercept Han Shizhong. After all, the population led by Han Shizhong was much larger, so that was the big goal.
"General, it's too late to go back now. We should continue heading northeast." After hearing Wanyan Zonghan's words, Dong Yun stopped Wanyan Zonghan and said.
"Damn it! Damn the Han people, damn the new annexed army! Damn it, damn it!" Wanyan Zonghan roared to the sky, his anger reaching the extreme.
Originally, he had ordered the soldiers to rest, but at this moment, he could no longer bear it, and ordered the soldiers to get up and continue heading northeast. Naturally, the nv real cavalry had no complaints. Each of them wanted to die together with the enemy.
They wanted to avenge their relatives, but the new auxiliary soldiers kept cursing, but they had no choice but to continue to follow the nv real cavalry to the northeast.
After walking for another two days, Wanyan Zonghan remembered that the amount of food he carried was limited. He came out in a hurry and just wanted to intercept Han Shizhong as quickly as possible. He didn't think about the food issue at all.
As we headed toward the northeast, there were almost no cities, and it was impossible to replenish food.
"Order the soldiers to hunt!" Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to issue such an order.
Han Shizhong has been away from Huanglong Mansion for many days. He has more than 10,000 cavalry, of which 5,000 are driving people of all ethnic groups forward. He takes the remaining 5,000 people to continue to capture people from various places. Now the number of people he has driven has reached
400,000 people.
There were so many people, all ordinary people, and the marching speed was extremely slow. Especially in such windy and snowy weather, those people stepped forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and everyone was shivering with cold. Every night, countless people
The people were crowded together, and they could only rely on this to stay warm and survive the extremely cold night. There were also some stragglers who probably couldn't survive in such a desolate place.
"It's so cruel!" Late at night, sitting by the fire, Lu Junyi kept shaking his head and sighing.
"This is what war is like." Han Shizhong said calmly.
"Our army of benevolence and righteousness in the Great Song Dynasty has never done such a thing." Lu Junyi snorted coldly and said.
"The Army of Benevolence and Righteousness? Well, they want to do such a thing but they don't have the ability. The Khitans often do such things, and they don't dare to stop them. You have always heard about threshing of grass and valleys in Daming Mansion."
Han Shizhong said.
"This..." Lu Junyi's expression froze, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
The so-called raiding of grass valleys is actually robbery. The border troops of the Liao Kingdom go to the border areas of the Song Dynasty to rob every year. In addition to robbing food and treasures, the most important thing is to rob the population. They transport the population to the Liao Kingdom and increase the number of people in the Liao Kingdom.
The country’s population.
In fact, all northern ethnic groups must rob their populations if they want to become strong.
Including the Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Menggu, and later the Qing Dynasty, they all wanted to grab the population in their own territory at the beginning to increase their population. Even the current Goryeo also needs population. Since Liangshan occupied
After Goryeo, the navy was sent to the Jiangnan area every year to traffic people, but the methods were not as brutal as they are now.
"The Song Dynasty is unable to do such a thing, but we are capable of doing such a thing. The Jin Kingdom has few people. If we rob it a few more times, they will be finished." Han Shizhong said.
"The people of all ethnic groups living in the north are really miserable." Lu Junyi could not refute Han Shizhong, sighed, and said again.
"Well, their fate is indeed miserable. With the rise of the Liao Kingdom, they were driven to the Liao Kingdom. With the rise of the Jin Kingdom, they were driven to the Jin Kingdom. Now they have to follow us again. This is war, there is no way
"Yes." Han Shizhong also sighed softly and said.
"I hope this war will end soon." Lu Junyi shook his head.
It was originally dark and everyone had rested, but at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, and Han Shizhong's army was immediately alerted.
The person who came was a monk. After he was intercepted, he took out a token and soon met Han Shizhong.
"Monk Chengguan." Han Shizhong shouted in surprise when he saw this monk. This man was Wu Song's elder brother, the first person in the younger generation of Shaolin Temple, and now the deputy director of the Korean Intelligence Department.
"General Han, I finally see you." Cheng Guan laughed.
"Did the commander of the army send you here? Did he send troops?" Han Shizhong asked hurriedly.
"Of course we are sending troops! The legion commander guessed that you were in this direction. I searched for a long time and finally found you! It's great." Cheng Guan said with a smile.
"Where is the legion commander now?" Han Shizhong asked hurriedly.
"He is walking to the northeast. We should be able to see him if we go to the southeast. If nothing unexpected happens, he is in the direction of Tianfu City." Cheng Guan said.
"Tianfu City?" Han Shizhong was stunned. This was the first time he heard this name. In his memory, there seemed to be no city if he kept going east.
"You will understand when you arrive." Cheng Guan said with a smile.
Han Shizhong did not ask any further questions, and first introduced Monk Chengguan to Lu Junyi. In the early morning of the next day, the army and the people continued to set off in the snow.
The common people all brought food. They had just experienced this kind of thing a few years ago when the Nvzhen invaded. When they experienced it the second time, they naturally knew the importance of food. You don’t need to bring anything, but you must bring food.
This way you won't starve to death on the way.
However, there were still many people who were sick and had a hard time walking. There were also some elderly people and children who had a hard time walking. Han Shizhong finally thought about it, he had extra horsepower anyway, so he ordered the soldiers to help those people onto their horses.
In the end, some soldiers even walked on foot and gave up their horses to the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Originally, the people were very afraid of the Liangshan army, but as more and more old, weak, sick and disabled people mounted their horses, the people's mentality began to change. Although this army, like Nv Zhenren, also forced them to leave.
hometown, but their style is obviously different from real women.
In fact, the education of the Liangshan Army includes "not taking advantage of the masses" and other content that is conducive to the unity of the army and the people. Previously, Han Shizhong's army was in a hurry, so it was in a hurry. Now it has to meet up with Huarong, and there is a lot of space here.
Desolate and without much danger, the soldiers' kindness finally came into play.
Lu Junyi followed this army, and now he doesn't know whether this army is kind or vicious.
They walked for another five days and finally entered the mountainous area. This place should be the remnant of Changbai Mountain. Some places are very flat, and some places are very dangerous.
On the night of the fifth day, a big city appeared in front of their eyes.
This big city is very dilapidated, most of the city walls have collapsed, and the buildings inside look extremely dilapidated. The entire city smells of historical dust, and the troops and people couldn't help but stop when they came here.
"What kind of city is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Han Shizhong said in surprise.
"This is the Tianfu City I was talking about. General Hua is waiting for you here." Cheng Guan said with a smile.
In fact, the so-called Tianfu City was called Huhan City hundreds of years ago. Even earlier, it was the location of Longquan Mansion, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom. When the Khitans rose, they destroyed the Bohai Kingdom and established a servant regime here called Dongdan.
Kingdom. Later, the Khitans destroyed the Dongdan Kingdom and moved all the remaining people of the Bohai Kingdom to the east of the Liao River. This city was completely abandoned.
If the historical process does not change, in another thousand years, this remaining city will completely disappear, and its ruins will become a "national key cultural relics protection unit."
Now it is just a city that has been abandoned for more than a hundred years. However, although it has been abandoned for more than a hundred years, you can still see that it was quite grand in scale.
Not long after Han Shizhong and others arrived here, dense crowds of Liangshan soldiers appeared on the city wall. When these Liangshan soldiers saw Han Shizhong's army, they all let out bursts of cheers.
"It's our army! We finally reunited victoriously!" Han Shizhong was overjoyed and led his soldiers to run towards the soldiers of the Second Army, the First Army, and the Second Army. All the soldiers cheered, and the sound was loud.
"Legion Commander, I'm finally back." Han Shizhong said with a smile on his face when he saw Hua Rong.
This march was extremely difficult. It first entered the vast snowfield in the west. If it had not been for Lu Junyi, it might have fallen into the snowfield, and all the soldiers would have died there. In the end, the Huining Mansion was captured, and hundreds of thousands of real women were wiped out.
, and brought hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnic groups through hardships
Xin came here. Speaking of which, it is just like those epic battles in the reviews. From December last year until now, the soldiers have hardly had a good rest. They only rushed and fought. Now they have finally successfully completed their military mission.
And joined forces with his own army.
"Han Shizhong, you did a great job! No one else could have done it like you." Hua Rong also praised with joy on his face.
"Legion commander, what should we do now? Are we going to stay in this city for a few days?" Han Shizhong asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid I won't stay here for a few days, but stay here forever." Hua Rong said.
"Ah? Aren't we going to Goryeo?" Han Shizhong said in surprise.
"This place is not bad. If this city is properly repaired, it will be no worse than Liaoyang City." Hua Rong said.
Hua Rong did not expect that this abandoned city would be of such a scale. Although it was dilapidated, there were many houses inside and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Standing on the city wall, he could imagine when this was the capital of the Bohai Kingdom hundreds of years ago.
of prosperity.
In fact, before Han Shizhong arrived, he was thinking about how to resettle the hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnic groups. If he really went to Goryeo, he would have to go over Changbai Mountain and take countless roads. The road on the mountain is more difficult to walk, etc.
After arriving in Goryeo, hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnic groups did not know how to
How much is left? But if the people are resettled here, on the one hand the city needs to be repaired, and on the other hand it needs to be heavily guarded. In this case, troops need to be redeployed from Goryeo, and a logistics system needs to be established here, too.
An extremely troublesome thing.
However, relatively speaking, the difficulty of moving troops is much less than that of moving people to Goryeo.
"If you go into the city and take a look, you will know whether my decision is correct or not. This city is really good," Hua Rong said.
"Legion Commander, Wanyan Zonghan's army is coming?" Han Shizhong asked, putting aside the matters of the common people for the time being.
"Yes, they are not far from here! Wanyan Zonghan has been entangled with us for so long. I won't let him go back this time." Hua Rong looked at the west, with a sneer on his face.
