Chapter 404. Hulu array

According to the argument of modern history, it was not the Tsar's army that destroyed Napoleon's empire, but the cruel winter of Russia.

The first snow fell, even the warriors of the Gongsun family who had lived in Liaodong for a long time could not avoid the influence of the severe cold, from the information from the mouth of Chen Rong, a simple-minded and well-developed monkey general, the other party's leading general, Pingzhou Mugong Sun Kang's own uncle Xinchang general Gongsun Zhi ordered the siege army of the Gongsun family to retreat three miles back and set up a village on the spot.

For two or three days in a row, this army did not launch another attack on Lianjiaocheng.

In fact, on the first day of the battle of the North Gate, the Gongsun army has lost the determination to capture the Lianjiao City, he is only in the early 20,000 Hu Han soldiers this time, an attack, was shot dead and wounded more than 2,000 people under the city gate, and Liaodong is still very backward in this era, even if the Liaodong is full of teeth, the Gongsun family does not have a few experience in attacking the city, in the face of cement pouring, and the defenders are sufficient, well-armed Lianjiao City, Gongsun is really lacking the means and equipment to win the siege.

In the leather tents built with fur, which were already somewhat similar to yurts in later generations, several Liaodong soldiers were huddled together, trembling and roasting their hands around a choking fire, and their morale was actually low to a certain extent.

It is believed that even if Wang Hou sends people out of the city to hang around and shoot a burst of arrows, Gongsun Zhi can order the withdrawal of the army on the grounds that the battle situation is scorching and there is no difference between victory and defeat.

However, after more than ten days, Wang Hou was like a turtle, that is, he could not move when he shrank in Lianjiao City, and he didn't even give him steps. attacked like this, thousands of people died, and retreated to Xiangping in a gray manner, not to mention the face of the Gongsun family, even if Gongsun Zhi himself couldn't explain, so he had to lie under the Lianjiao City, waiting for Wang Hou to attack.

But while stomping on his frozen numb feet, Gongsun Zhi, who was scolding at the big turtle shell, didn't know that Wang Hou did make a move, but it didn't come as he expected at all.

Under the cold sea breeze, the Qingzhou ships anchored in Lianjiao Harbor were also frozen with a thin layer of ice, wearing thick cotton gloves and ropes tied around their waists, climbing to the mainmast with difficulty, and sailors holding hammers and clanging to knock on the cable locks that were frozen into ice in the severe cold.

The sparse broken ice fell, the newly active pulleys rubbed against the frozen cables and groaned hard, and the heavy sails were hung high again, facing the rare rise of the warm sun, and the fifteen main sailboats of Qingzhou broke out violently along the tiger's mouth.

Standing on the hull of the boat, holding the railing with both hands wearing leather gloves, while watching the sea scenery of the first snow, Zhao Yun was also haggling out with a cloud of heating.

This top boss, the lord Wang Tuqiu, was really able to hold his breath, and it was not until before the expedition that the strategy of this time was revealed, listening to his strategic goals, Zhao Yun couldn't help but take a breath and secretly mourned for the Gongsun family for three minutes.

It's not good to mess with anyone, but to provoke the cautious Wang Tiangao!

But no matter how miserable the Gongsun family is, it's none of their business! Suddenly, more than a dozen sailors shouted and turned the sails, and the heavy giant ship made a ninety-degree turn in the creaking wood, looking at the suddenly clear sea, Zhao Yun's fists clenched again, and he snorted gloomily.

…………

In the era of cold weapons, the most extreme army was Genghis Khan's Mongol army, which swept across Eurasia, marched tens of thousands of miles, and slaughtered as many as 100 million people.

The tribes drove the livestock with the army, grazing while walking, directly supplying the army, and the Mongol warriors had two horses or even three horses, one horse fought, two horses carried grain, and marched while grabbing, under the bloody war, the achievements made were even the most famous military strategist Alexander the Great in the West, which is unforgettable.

Compared with the extreme Mongolian cavalry, the Yan army of the Gongsun family is obviously much worse, and they also need to eat! In order to support 20,000 people to set out from the Liaohe Plain and conquer Lianjiao City, which is located at the corner of the Liaodong Peninsula, Gongsun Kang mobilized tens of thousands of additional people to transport grain from the rich Liaohe Plain to the south across hundreds of miles, and a supply line fully crossed most of Liaodong County.

It was also this supply line that made Wang Hou know that when Gongsun Kang sent troops to attack him, it was simply upside down!

The Gongsun family is rooted in the Liaohe River, and it is a typical agrarian regime, but he is not.

The topography of Dalian City in later generations is quite unique, it is completely the thinnest tip of the Liaodong Peninsula stretching into the sea, the front and left are the sea, and the Jinzhou City connected with the Liaodong Peninsula is actually narrow again, only a few kilometers of land connection, and this narrow terrain is not flat, the remaining veins of the Great Black Mountain are uplifted from the middle of the isthmus, the Jinzhou Land Bridge is divided into three pieces, and there are only two coastal plains in the east and west for the passage of large troops.

Although the iron and steel handicraft industry is not developed, but after all, it is located in Liaodong, next to the nomads, the animal husbandry of the Gongsun family is really good, along the coastal plain under the small black mountain, thousands of people lead cattle and horses, carry heavy grain buckets, and move forward endlessly.

Suddenly, a Liaodong Minzhuang let go of the cow he was leading, covered his crotch and slipped out of the queue in three steps and two steps, facing the vast sea, swaying a stream of heat.

But just after humming a small tune, he was about to tighten his pants, when suddenly the man's hand froze on the waistband of his trousers, and he couldn't even care about a certain brother, and looked into the sea with round eyes in amazement.

Bang~

The back of his head slammed suddenly, and then Wu Chang's annoyed scream sounded behind him, pointing at his nose and grinning and scolding.

"Fucking lazy again! If you don't hurry back, if you are caught by Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will have to whip you dozens of military sticks! ”

"But ......, but head! Yes! There are sea monsters! ”

"Fuck it, don't fool Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is so big, I haven't seen Hai ......, Hai ......, Hai ......, damn it! There are sea monsters! ”

Listening to the trembling sound of his subordinates, as soon as he got angry, he was about to kick over, but before his feet fell, the bearded man's eyes couldn't help but stare round, and he screamed out in horror.

With his roar, the Liaodong Minzhuang, who was still escorting the military rations, couldn't stay any longer, and they made do with the towering beach shore in groups of three or two, and looked stupidly into the sea.

In their lookout, a pointed sea monster opened its teeth and claws a few miles away, and rushed to the shore viciously, and then, a small black dot spit out of the sea monster's mouth, and the footsteps were heavy and crackling in their own direction and quickly became bigger, and they were stupid for more than ten minutes, and the bearded Liaodong Wu Chang roared violently.

"Cavalry! Enemy attack! ”。

It was too late, and the ironclad cavalrymen wearing steel helmets and protruding arcs on their chests were covered with a layer of white frost in the bitter cold weather, spitting out bursts of white smoke, and they had already killed less than two hundred meters away from them!

Facing the sun, which was already westward, the long horse lance blades sandwiched under the crotches of these ironclad cavalry reflected layers of cold light......
