Chapter 435: My Name Is Yihu Song (I)
Baiyue is scattered, there are many ethnic groups, there are many tribes, it is precisely because of this that Baiyue has been stagnant for hundreds of years, compared with the progress of the Chinese society, although there are many tribes in Baiyue who have mastered the same technology of the Chinese, but most of the ethnic groups and tribes are still Ru Mao drinking blood to the point that they can't even weave cloth and smelt metal, and they have repeatedly merged to fight, and only a small number of people can wear the most common linen clothes of the Chinese people, and the guys in their hands can also have a few pieces of metal.
There is no shortage of minerals in the south, there has always been no shortage, and the Song Dynasty can see that from Lu Zhe's occupation of Qianzhong (Cangwu County), the mineral resources that the Baiyue people could not find and use were developed, and the same is farming, and the Chinese people's management methods of the fields are far more advanced than the Baiyue people's technology.
has the same age of existence, but why are the Baiyue people more ignorant than the Chinese? Of course, Yihu Song would not admit that the Baiyue people were too stupid to invent the technologies of the Chinese. He believes that the reason why the Baiyue people lag behind the Chinese is only because the Baiyue people lack a country, as long as there is a country, the endless civil war of the Baiyue can be stopped, and there is a relatively stable internal environment to concentrate the wise men of the Baiyue, and the same can develop to a social system equal to the Chinese.
Although there is no such thing as the rise of the clan that needs to be watered with blood, it does not prevent Yi Hu Song from having a corresponding understanding, so although he felt that it was inappropriate to concentrate a large army to besiege Luo County, he was still secretly ready to agree to go north.
In addition to letting the defenders of Luo County develop an arrogant mentality, in some considerations, it was also to eliminate the complex ethnic system at the time of the founding of the country, and wanted to bring themselves to the point where the population of the small tribes around Luo County was consumed to the point that there was no threat, so as not to have countless flies "buzzing" and screaming when the country was really founded.
Obviously, constantly driving the small tribes to go up to consume is really to make the Luo County defenders become extremely contemptuous of Baiyue, and the translation of Song has found that the Luo County defenders have appeared more and more on the battlefield due south in the past few days, so that is to say, the Ming Luo County defenders no longer pay so much attention to the city defense will frequently mobilize troops.
The defense of the city requires troops, and what is more needed is the defender of the city defense system, that is, the defenders who have a sufficient understanding of which area. A defender who is not very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the defensive area and a defender who understands the corresponding advantages and disadvantages will not be able to play a defensive role when defending.
In fact, Minyue, Nanyue, and Ouyue formed a big alliance, so he naturally agreed with Yihu Song's idea of the establishment of a Baiyue country, otherwise they would not have come together.
According to the idea of Yihu Song, the country of Baiyue will not be the same as the country of the Chinese people, and the royal family of the Chinese people will be passed down until the royal family is overthrown. Baiyue will also have its own king, but this throne is not always occupied by a person or family, but will be replaced according to the number of years, and the king does not have absolute power to kill and kill, but is more of a spiritual symbol. There will also be a group of elders under the king. In case of trouble, it is the chiefs of the tribes who have consulted and voted on it.
Isn't it a bit of a constitutional monarchy? It is impossible for Yi Hu Song to know such things as "constitutional monarchy", he just thinks that according to the reality of Baiyue, only such an administrative system is the most suitable.
The throne sits in turns, but there is no supreme power to become the king of Baiyue, so the resistance of the Baiyue clans will not be too strong, and they will only focus on the position of the elder group, so they don't have to worry about which king will be purged after the establishment of the country, after all, the power is really in the hands of the elders.
Surprising ideas, incredible polities. The fact that a person can come up with a system similar to the constitutional monarchy that was popular more than a thousand years later is enough to show that this person is not simple.
The idea of Yi Hu Song was very good, and he had successfully persuaded the two major ethnic groups in the Baiyue, Minyue and Nanyue, to make a momentum to lay the foundation for the founding of the country.
Wu Zhu was really shocked. He saw a lot of siege equipment, and then carefully recalled the many measures taken by the defenders of Luo County, and found that Yi Hu Song had already set up the bureau, and it was really just the last step.
"Tomorrow. Just tomorrow. There was an inexplicable fanaticism in Yi Hu Song's eyes: "Pay the price of almost 100,000 people, all for tomorrow!" ”
Wu Zhu's feelings were obviously mobilized, but there were some things that had to be said: "We have been dragging on the side of Luo County for almost half a month. There has been no movement on Lu Zhe's side, which is very abnormal. ”
Yihu Song smiled, and he laughed heartily a few times with a "haha": "It's abnormal, Lu Zhe won't watch us besiege Luo County." ”
"Then ......" Wu Zhu just spat out a word and paused.
Yi Hu Song can set up such a big game, how can he not pay attention to the three clans in the rear. Although he didn't find that Lu Zhe sent people to subdue the Lian family, the Huang family, and the Ning family, how could he not find that there was an abnormality on the side of the three families, and he had already made corresponding preparations for this.
In addition to the anomaly on the three clans' side, Yi Hu Song could also think that Lu Zhe would definitely send troops south, and he estimated that Lu Zhe's army, which would come to support Luo County within ten days after five days, would arrive, but it was not clear whether the reinforcements sent south by Lu Zhe would go straight to the battlefield in Luo County, or make other intentions.
The inference that Song Hui would make that Lü Zhe's army would arrive five days later was that he had specifically studied the army build-up of the Chinese people, and he obviously used past historical experience as a basis, completely ignoring that although Lü Zhe's force was also a Chinese system, in some respects the administrative system and military system of Lü Zhe's army were not the same as those of ordinary nations.
Lu Zhe's ambition to completely annihilate Baiyue in Changsha County was also something that Yi Yu Song did not expect, so he inferred according to common sense, thinking that Lu Zhe's army would actively rescue the besieged Luo County even if he went south, after all, this is the common sense of using troops. Of course, what kind of roundabout outflanking and other translations Song also thought of, so there were already enough early warning manpower left on many routes.
"Starting early tomorrow morning, as usual, we will gather men (small tribes) to go up and fight the defenders of Luo County who are out of the city, and attack the city in the west and east." The translator called Song to say Zhizhu in his hand: "According to the observation in the past few days, Sima Xin will transfer the troops from the east tomorrow, so the east is our main direction of attack!" ”
Su Wuzhu had no objection to this, and Song had been observing for so long, obviously wanting to seize the gap in the defense of Luoxian County to launch a sudden attack.
In Luoxian City, the defenders from Sima Xin to the soldiers did play an inertia, and after discussing which troops to change to fight tomorrow, the troops that were not rotated could take this opportunity to rest, and they did not realize that the crisis was coming.
The east, west, and south outside of Luo County were surrounded by the walled city set up by Baiyue, and the Baiyue people in the walled city had no military discipline at all, and it became the norm for people to come and go in the walled city in peacetime. For the complex terrain of buildings such as messy shacks, even if you look down from the high city wall, it is indeed difficult to find the hidden movement of the Baiyue people if you are not careful.
Today, the men who came to fight the defenders of Luo County were all small tribes and the South Vietnamese tribal alliance, and only small troops from Ou Yue and Minyue appeared on the battlefield. And Ouyue Minyue is precisely stationed in the west and east, tonight is a moonless night, Yi Hu Song chose to attack the city tomorrow obviously to take advantage of the lack of moonlight to mobilize manpower and siege equipment in place.
Under the contempt of the defenders of Luo County, Yi Hu Song's luck was not so bad that he would notice that when there was still an hour before dawn, the elites of Ouyue and Minyue, as well as the corresponding siege equipment, were all transferred to the east of Luo County.
The so-called elite of Ouyue and Minyue are 5,000 Ouyue people equipped with bronze weapons, and 3,000 Minyue people with bronze weapons.
There are 3,000 weapons in Ouyue, which are obtained from the Chu State, but not all of them have been obtained from the Chu State recently, but some have been traded intermittently in the past three years, and the number of spears sent by the Chu State recently is only one thousand, after all, the Chu State is also expanding its army on a large scale, and its own weapons are slightly insufficient.
The 3,000 soldiers with bronze weapons in Minyue took Wu Zhu nearly five years to raise, and some of them were made by himself using simple processes.
Ouyue and Minyue, who have bronze weapons, have one thing in common, that is, weapons are not a unified standard, from spears to knives and spears.
In order to be able to counterattack the defenders with arrows, Yihu Song even took out a blood book, that is, 300 strong bows purchased from the state of Chu and distributed them to good archers, and compiled a considerable number of archers with bamboo bows and hunting bows.
For the defenders of Luoxian, this morning was no different from usual, early in the morning the city was in a noisy city, and a large number of Baiyue people dressed in animal skins, grass skirts and armed with messy weapons poured out.
The defenders of Luo County, who were rotated to fight today, lined up out of the city after eating and opened the city gates as they had done a few days ago, and the expressions on the faces of each of the defenders who went out to fight were relatively relaxed, in their opinion, today was another massacre of a group of uncivilized savages by their own army armed to the teeth.
In the coaxing sound, the Baiyue people were almost unchanged as usual, a large group of people rushed up, and then the defenders' crossbowmen fell one by one in the repeated diffusion of the machinery, and the Baiyue people collapsed and regrouped and rushed up again, over and over until the defenders pounced on the hand-to-hand combat, which was really no different from the previous few days.
Waking up, freshening up, getting on his nails, and after breakfast, he opened the window to look out of the city, Sima Xin was used to such a routine of life. After looking at the site of the battle outside the city for a while, he would also take his own soldiers to inspect the city defenses of the city walls in other directions as usual.
During the inspection, Sima Xin did not find anything wrong with the Baiyue Walled City, the enemy walled city outside the city should be a mess, until he returned to the city tower in the south of the city, the battle in the south direction was still so boring.
"This kind of day lasts until the Lord leads the army to cut off the back road of Baiyue, and after completing the outflanking, all the Baiyue people will be annihilated under the city of Luoxian County......" Sima Xin did not say the sentence "It's not bad to be able to do this all the time", he should review the casualty report, and then arrange for tomorrow's rotation of troops. (To be continued......)
