Chapter 763: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
Hakata looked at the burning village in front of him with a cruel smile in his eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After ordering the slave soldiers to besiege the city of Yizhou, he led 60,000 cavalry to plunder the territory of Bashu in six ways.
In the past six months, the Golden Horde has sounded the golden drum in order to prepare for the raid on the Bashu of the Great Chongqing State, and another cold winter is coming, and no descendants of the Golden Horde are willing to see their people die in cold and hunger.
In order to successfully conquer the city of Songzhou, they sent an envoy to Tibet half a year ago, and finally promised to borrow a quarter of the wealth from Tibet.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let go of any food and livestock in the village, there are still many villages to grab below!" Hakata shouted.
In front of him, the barbarian soldiers were rampant in the village like tigers and wolves, and the corpses of the people of the Great Yu Kingdom were lying everywhere on the ground, mixed with the screams of daughters and the cries of children, it seemed like hell on earth.
At this time, the barbarian soldiers were walking up and down the village with scimitars, tying everything they could to plunder to their horses, while the cattle and sheep of the village were driven to the next village.
Such a miserable picture made Hakata's eyes shine with excitement, and he was able to successfully pass through Tibet this time, thanks to Bei Shan.
Although Beshan was once again punished by his father Khan for his defeat at Goryeo, three months after his return to Shengdu, an Englishman came to Shengdu and began to teach them various methods of warfare, and it was also his idea to use Tibet this time.
"Fantastic British." , Hakata thought to himself, he saved the Golden Horde.
Just as he was impressed in his heart, a barbarian general came up to him and said, "Hakata Taiji, the Khan told us not to stay in the territory of Bashu for more than twenty days, and now the time is coming soon, we should withdraw from Songzhou to the grassland." ”
Boduo frowned when he heard this, "This time we were finally able to enter the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom, wouldn't it be a pity to leave so quickly, now the soldiers' horses are not yet full of food, wait a few more days, and even if the Great Yu Kingdom gallops to help, it will be too late to withdraw after getting the news." “
The general said worriedly: "Taiji, once the army of the Great Yu Kingdom arrives, I am afraid we will not be able to leave." ”
"Hmph, was your courage broken by the army of the Great Yu Kingdom? They are no more than muskets, but can they outrun our horses? Hakata rejected the general's offer.
Seeing this, the general sighed and stopped persuading.
……
In Chang'an, after a day of repairs in Kyoto, which was once the Great Chongqing State, Luo Quan and Qi Guangyi led the cavalry directly to Songzhou.
After Xiao Ming reinstated him as an official, he did not go to Jinling City to join Lu Fei, but led the cavalry with Qi Guangyi to Songzhou instead of Yizhou to help.
"General Luo, it's only a day and a half from Chang'an to Songzhou, don't you really go to Yizhou?" Qi Guangyi asked.
Luo Quan's expression was firm, "Yizhou has 20,000 musketeers led by Di Ying, there is plenty of food and grass in the city, as long as there is no internal chaos, it is impossible to conquer it with only the slave soldiers of the barbarians, and the purpose of this barbarian is to plunder, they will not attack the city with their hearts, once they have plundered enough things, they will withdraw from Bashu, so what we need now is to prevent them from returning to the grassland from Songzhou City, and then join Lu Fei to annihilate this barbarian cavalry in one fell swoop." “
Qi Guangyi nodded when he heard this, this veteran has fought a lot of battles with the barbarians, and he knows the temperament of the barbarians very well.
Luo Quan saw that Qi Guangyi still had doubts, and he continued: "If the cunning and fox-like Bei Shan led the raid this time, maybe they would have returned to the grassland, but the battle report said that it was Boduo who came this time, this person I know very well, he is a very greedy person, and it is very likely that he will delay the time to withdraw." ”
"In that case, sooner rather than later, General Luo, let's go." Qi Guangyi looked at the early morning glow and said.
Luo Quan was a little excited, and returning to the battlefield seemed to make him seem to come back to life.
During the period of living in Qingzhou, he was bored, just to avoid suspicion, he endured it, but until the military reform appeared, he suddenly understood that he didn't need to avoid suspicion at all.
Riding their horses and whipping up, Niu Ben and Qi Guangyi hit the road again, although it was very tiring to go all the way from Qingzhou to Chang'an, but the war was urgent, and they could not rest too much.
At noon on the second day, Luo Quan and Qi Guangyi led 30,000 cavalry to the city of Songzhou, and when he saw the barbarian soldiers on the city wall, the two were immediately overjoyed.
"The general was like a god, but he didn't expect Boduo to be greedy for looted wealth and not withdraw from Bashu." Qi Guangyi said excitedly.
Knowing that Songzhou was broken and the barbarians entered Bashu, their generals all harbored a sense of anger in their hearts, the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians were feuding, and they just wanted to kill these invaders.
Luo Quan stroked his beard and looked at Songzhou City, he muttered: "This Songzhou City is the western gateway of Bashu, with mountains on both sides and a city in the middle. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Now immediately blockade Songzhou City to prevent it from being reported by the barbarians, and have soldiers dig trenches outside the city to prevent cavalry from entering the city. “
Qi Guangyi nodded, he looked at Luo Quan with some surprise, he didn't expect that this veteran who had not been out of the mountain for a long time would know how to dig a trench at such a moment.
I have to say that now Luo Quan's decision is very right, now there are barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City, and Hakado is leading 60,000 cavalry outside.
If Hakata returns, they will suffer greatly from the inside and outside.
Therefore, digging a trench now can stop the soldiers in the inner city from raiding, and it can also prevent Hakata from taking advantage of the barbarian cavalry to attack them.
Conveying Luo Quan's order, the soldiers immediately dismounted from their horses and dug a trench a hundred meters outside the city in front of the defenders of Songzhou City.
After these trenches were completed, the soldiers led by Lu Fei should also arrive, and even if Hakata arrived first, they would be able to rely on cavalry to maneuver with Hakata for a few days.
The current cavalry of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is not afraid of barbarian cavalry.
The barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City were very frightened when they saw this scene outside the city, but they did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle.
Because most of the cavalry went out of the city to plunder, now there are only 8,000 people in Songzhou City to defend the city to guard against accidents, if they go out of the city to face the battle, they are afraid that they will lose Songzhou City, which is much worse than the trenches in one place at that time.
In such preparations, four days later, Lu Fei led the army to finally arrive, this time including 10,000 fire-fired soldiers supported by Qingzhou.
"This group of people actually went to the Great Chongqing Kingdom to loot, and today Grandpa Lu will teach them how to behave." When Lu Fei arrived outside Songzhou City, his first sentence was full of anger.
