Chapter 603: The War Spreads 1

In the open wilderness, there were corpses, scattered with stumps and broken arms. The ground has long been soaked with blood. Around, there were also war horses that were constantly neighing, and soldiers and people who were checking the corpses back and forth.

"Zhang Ju? Zhang Duwei? It's okay for you! Seeing that his whole body was blood-red, Li Chenfeng asked urgently. The most stressful in this battle was the Liangdu Infantry Army that rushed into the army of Liaodong Kingdom.

"Back to the general's words, the subordinates are fine, this is all the blood of the enemy, hiss......" said, I don't know what wound I withdrew, I smacked my mouth in pain, "It's that I have some minor injuries on my arms and calves, well, it's no problem to continue to participate in the war." ”

"Where's Nangong Hao?"

"The subordinates are here, and it's okay!" Nangong Hao, whose clothes and armor were in tatters and his helmet had been knocked off, swayed from the side and walked over, but said with a heavy sadness on his face: "It's just that the losses of the brothers of the Liangdu Infantry Army are too bad, if there is a thunderstorm, it will be much better today." ”

Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice: "The brothers are all good, although we have the earth-shattering thunder Chinese weapon, we can't rely on him for everything. You must remember that the Xiaoguo Army has no earth-shattering thunder, and he is still an iron-clad army. ”

"Actually, the earth-shattering thunder has been transported to the eastern front, after all, it has to bear the pressure of the two lines of Sumo, Yabu and Goguryeo." Li Chenfeng's face was a little worried, although Goguryeo had not sent troops, but the Xiaoguo army could not be unguarded.

"General, the results of the battle are out. In this battle, the enemy had 21,000 men in the front, which was a little more than we expected. Our army successively participated in the battle with 25,000 soldiers from the first town and 10,000 soldiers from the two Khitan and eight banners, totaling 35,000 people. Our army lost 6,000 men, most of whom were soldiers of the first and second capitals. More than 11,000 enemy soldiers were killed, of which the enemy's commander-in-chief, He Louyu, was beheaded by Zhang Duwei, and more than 7,000 people were captured. The remaining 2,800 or so people fled northward, and the Eight Banners had already pursued 30 miles north in accordance with the general's military order, and the final results had not yet been counted. Among them, we have captured countless trophies, and it is worth mentioning that more than 9,000 war horses have been captured, and after being incorporated into our army, we can make the first town become a full cavalry with one man and one horse. The clerk reported.

"Yes, yes! They should be taught a hard lesson. The generals laughed in unison.

Li Chenfeng knew that the reason why he was able to win so quickly this time was mainly because the vanguard army of Liaodong Kingdom did not know the situation here in Dongsheng City. In particular, I didn't know that the 10,000 Khitan Eight Banner soldiers had taken the lead in hurrying over, and they were still ambushed on the flanks, so they made a big circle around and attacked from behind, taking the opponent by surprise.

"Among the captives, how many are seriously injured and unable to walk, and how many are disabled?" Li Chenfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Two thousand!"

"Kill! The lord has an order, for the Liaodong Kingdom. The enemy troops of the Su Mo and Beihai tribes don't have to pay attention to morality, and those who invade our territory should be killed! As for the 4,000 captives, they were all escorted to the rear according to the establishment, and then handed over to the local county soldiers to escort back to Youzhou in turn. There are many places that require labor under the rule of Xiaoguo, and these are free labor. Remember, you're half full every day, as long as you don't go hungry. It is still a system of joint sitting, one person escapes and kills ten people, ten people flee, and kills a hundred. Li Chenfeng coldly ordered.

"Obey!" The military judge and the logistics officer responded in unison.

"The whole army rested for three days, replenished new recruits from the rear, and after three days, converged with the cavalry of the four banners of the Khitan Eight Banners, and the army went north."

…………

Beihai Department, the tribe of the king of the North Sea. Although Chishu wanted to emulate the Great Yan and establish a system similar to that of the Liaodong Kingdom, it seems that he had forgotten that the people of the Beihai tribes were mostly nomadic because they lived in the grassland area and were tribal people. Therefore, although most of the tribes were unified and military power was centralized, the various tribes were allowed to graze freely on this land of nearly 1,000 miles.

It's a small tribe, but the hot weather in July and August doesn't seem to affect the normal survival of livestock. On the grassland, there are herds of cattle and sheep, herds of horses eat the ground and are fat and strong, and on the quiet riverside, there is curling smoke rising.

Around the flocks of felt, there are still a lot of people moving. Two seven or eight-year-old children lie on the soft grass, not knowing what they are doing, perhaps this is the joy of their childhood. Not far away, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was trying to tame a wild horse, falling off the horse's back again and again, but getting up again and again, his immature face full of stubbornness......

Farther away, in the ground horse circle, several young women were milking mare's milk, and their faces were smiling as they watched the pure white mare's milk enter the clay pot one by one.

The sound of singing gradually came from far away, and a fresh and beautiful girl in riding clothes drove the sheep back from a distance. Not far away, several men who were driving horses were also driving the horses to the captive place. Further afield......

"Woo woo woo ......"

The low and distant horn suddenly sounded without warning, and with the sound of the horn, there was an endless killing machine that was spreading endlessly on the grassland, whether it was a girl or a man driving a horse, his face changed in an instant, and he looked southwest with his hands on the canopy, only to see the end of the prairie in the distance, on the vast horizon, a faint black line appeared leisurely......

"Appeal ......"

Li Muzhi gently drank the war horse, and the red cloak fluttered in the wind. In the continuous sound of war horses, five thousand iron horsemen slowly unfolded behind them, and the black subway armor was like a burning black flame, exuding a suffocating coldness, and the red helmet showed the identity of their Zhao Xiaoguo army.

"Purr ......"

Li Muzhi's crotch shook his mount's flowing mane, the wings of his nose opened, and he made a loud snort, and his four hooves stepped lightly. Turning around slowly, Li Muzhi's sharp gaze swept coldly over the faces of the five thousand soldiers, most of whom were the black armor of the former Li family's private army under his command.

"Brothers, do you see the tribe ahead?"

Li Mu roared like thunder in the heavens and the earth.

"I saw ......"

Li Muzhi's eyes were cold, and a fierce and cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He shouted: "The Beihai Department invaded my northern land in the past, occupied my territory, and killed my people. The latter lord is benevolent and righteous, sparing his life. However, he did not think of reciprocating, and even sent troops to raid and hinder the operation of our Beihai camp in the western part of Beihai. Can we let go of such villains? ”

"Can't!"

"Good!" Li Muzhi nodded awe-inspiringly, and said sharply: "Today, we will be ordered by the lord to levy a conquest against such an unrighteous villain. Whoever resists our army will be killed! Whatever can be taken away, all the people will be taken away. Whoever can't be taken away will be burned! ”

"I don't need pity, I don't need pity! Please keep in mind that they have been mortal enemies since they united with the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Sect. Also, the military regulations and military discipline of the Xiaoguo Army are all remembered for me, if you make a mistake, you don't need the military judge to take action, General Ben personally beheaded him, do you hear clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!"

Five thousand soldiers responded with a bang.

"Now, let's do it. In the past, they invaded our land, killed my fellow villagers, and robbed me of my property. Now, they are attacking us again for no apparent reason. Today, we will kill all those who dare to resist, men, women, young and old, and rob them of their land, cattle, sheep, and livestock. Li Muzhi waved his spear, slashed the void fiercely, and roared sharply: "The whole army set off, kill!" ”

"Kill ......"

A frenzied howl rose into the sky, and five thousand iron horsemen rolled forward like a tidal wave, swept away like a whirlwind of clouds......

…………

"Flapping ......"

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves startled several vultures, and they flapped their wings and flew high into the air, and as they flew back, they let out a terrible roar, which became more and more desolate and bloody......

This is a small group of cavalry scouts from the Beihai Department, at this moment, they are deeply shocked by the bloody scene in front of them, originally this place should be mixed with the Khitans, Xianbei people, including the small tribes, but at this time it is a mess, the felt bags are burned, the tents are lodging, herds of cattle and sheep and countless horses are missing, the former lively camp is dead silent, only a cold headless corpse lying in the wilderness. There was a strong smell of blood wafting through the air, and people were nauseating......

"My lord, it was the people of the Beihai camp who did it! And here are the marks they left behind! One of the attendants pointed to a flagpole not far away.

"Go back and report to the king at once! The damn Xiaoguo Army is already on the move. ”

…………

Liaozhou Mansion, Weibei City.

Like Dongshengcheng and Xishengcheng, this is an important northern city built from the land seized by the Sumo Jinyi tribe, and it is guarded in the northernmost part of Liaozhou Prefecture. I have to say that in the past, Zhao Xun forcibly divided the land of one or two hundred miles from Liaodong and Sumo, which was still premeditated, and now it has become an outpost fortress and a major city in the three eastern provinces of Youzhou to resist the enemy.

Unlike the Liaodong Kingdom, which was close to the Beihai Tribes, not all the soldiers in the Su Mo Yan Tribes were cavalry, and their war horses were also not many. Therefore, its territory is a combination of foot and horse. Different from the expected 50,000 soldiers, this Su Mo Yan Yan tribe actually dispatched more than 80,000 soldiers and swarmed south.

Weibei City is not big, when hundreds of simple ladders are carried by enemy soldiers like ants, swarming to the face. The soldiers stood at the top of the city and looked down, and the whole itself seemed to be a lonely reef in the middle of the sea, which could be drowned by the constant waves at any time.

"I'm still as stupid as before, I don't even have a little discipline!" Yang Wangqing, the marching master of the Youbei Camp who came to the front line, looked at the chaotic soldiers of the Su Mo Yan Sect under the city, shook his head and sneered.

"They thought we weren't prepared, but in fact, we had already hoarded a large amount of military supplies in the city, and within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, there was also a town army and two banners of cavalry, as well as 20,000 trained young men. This time, it is necessary to make the millet and the marrow part look good. Xie Tong, the commander of the fifth town, said with a laugh, not afraid of becoming an enemy army at all.

Several lieutenants around him knew that whether it was Yang Wangqing or Xie Tong, this was all to eliminate the tension of the soldiers. After all, tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming, like black waves, about to turn the sky. You must know that the defenders in the city are only two town troops, in addition to 5,000 young men, but outside the city there are 30,000 enemy troops and nearly 10,000 slaves. According to this, the city not far away also needs to be defended.

"Order, let the young men release their arrows! Adapt to the battlefield! Yang Wangqing ordered in a cold voice.

With such a dense enemy army under the city, the crossbowmen in the city did not need to aim at all, and even only needed to shoot at the sky to hit the enemy. In addition, the bed crossbows were all replaced with thirty arrow magazines, and from the beginning of the siege, the city was constantly being shot from the sky to the sky.

The trenches dug at great cost under the city had already been flattened by countless corpses and mud bags at this time. Countless enemy soldiers and slaves fell, but no one paused, no one retreated, and they all rushed forward and under the city.

Perhaps it was the confusion of the arrows shot by the young men on the city wall, which made the main army of the Su Mo Yan tribe see the weakness of the city defense, and let his subordinates attack desperately, even the arrows on the city wall could not stop their approach.

"Yes, it's all here! Let the young men slow down their archery, we need to gather them under the city. The second soldier went up to the city and guarded the city wall, so that the enemy could not attack the city. Yang Wangqing looked at the dense crowd of human heads, sneered and ordered.

"Can you get them and forget that our army is shaking the sky and thundering? Such an unguarded siege! ”

Yang Wangqing said with a smile: "This must be a message from Situ Lei's forces to them, saying that our army is short of raw materials for the Heaven Shaking Thunder, and there is nothing to use." If you don't say that, the people of the Yan Tatar are not brave enough to make a rash move. It seems that in order to contain us, Situ Lei even gave the people of the Devil a hand. It has to be said that our army has been moving back and forth, and has rarely used the Earthquake Thunder to operate in the Beihai Provinces recently, which has caused errors in the enemy's intelligence. ”

"Get our little trebuchet out and shoot the Heaven-Shattering Thunder. The direct hand throw in the vicinity allowed the cavalry of the first capital to prepare, and after projecting the earth-shattering thunder, they would go out of the city. ”

In the face of such a dense crowd under the city, the soldiers did not need to deliberately aim at any place, they only needed to throw their hands directly down the city after igniting the fire. A little farther away, naturally, there is a trebuchet projectile.

"Put!"

With a loud roar, above the city, every 100 meters or so, a soldier of the Divine Machine Battalion threw the ignited earth-shattering thunder towards the city. The sparkling twenty-pound sky-shattering thunder roared and smashed into the dense enemy army under the city.

The face of the enemy commander who was watching the battle from a distance changed, and he shouted: "It's not good, it's the earth-shattering thunder of the Xiaoguo Army!" Damn, didn't this Situ Lei's people say that they have no stock, and they all use it to dredge the river? Bastard, fuck us! "After the Great War a few years ago, not only them, but also the rest of the princes knew that these powerful round bumps that could make explosive noises were actually a secret weapon of the Xiaoguo Army.

At this time, when he saw this familiar gunpowder bag, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and sure enough, the next moment, a hundred sky-shaking thunderbolts fell into the dense crowd of his own soldiers. I saw a flash of firelight, accompanied by a huge sound.

The dense scarlet warriors struck, and all of a sudden, countless corpses flew into the sky with those fires. In a moment, only countless fragments of corpses fell, and stumps and legs fell all over the ground. It was accompanied by a whistling sound, which should be mixed with other things, and if it was concentrated, the whole person would be like being concentrated by a crossbow arrow, and suddenly there would be a hollow in the body. Under Weibei City, a hundred blank areas with a radius of several zhang appeared in an instant, and around them, there were soldiers who followed and fell to the ground covered in blood, without the slightest movement.

"Huhuhu......"

Forty or fifty balls shot out of the sky!

"Get out of the way, fuck, it's a thunderstorm too!" In the rear army, there were officers who yelled bitterly.

The sound of "booming ......" is like thunder, shocking people's hearts. The stump also rose into the air and fell to the ground.

All the soldiers who faced the huge earth-shattering thunder, whether they had seen or did not see the weapon of the Xiaoguo Army, were shocked and panicked.

The high morale has weakened again, and even some of the soldiers are retreating. The face of the general of the Su Mo Yan Department was pale, where in this city was only a remnant of the Xiaoguo Army, this was clearly a bottomless pit that devoured the population. At the beginning of the strong attack, even if it was close, the Xiaoguo army in the city did not fire the earth-shaking thunder. I and the others thought that it was because the defenders were really as Dayan Situ Lei said, and they had no earth-shaking thunder. Without the Thunder-shattering Fruit Army, are they still afraid? Of course not. But now, obviously, the truth has given them a slap in the face. Even the remnants of the city have not been able to break through the city for so long, not to mention that the previous battles were all Xiaoguo Army attracting their subordinates to get close to the city wall, waiting for the use of the earth-shattering thunder.

"My lord, this time, I killed nearly five thousand people, plus the damage of the previous project, the enemy army left eight or nine thousand corpses." Xie Tong said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy, the enemy army has 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 men. Except for about 5,000 soldiers in the city, half of the rest were people. Yang Wangqing said lightly, but the joy in the corners of his eyes revealed his mood.

"Archer, counterattack!" Yang Wangqing did not forget to let the soldiers in the city launch a counterattack. After all, those who were killed by the bomb, and those who were not. Especially close to the foot of the city wall and above the ladder, because of the close to the city wall, for fear of causing hidden dangers to the city wall, so there are still a lot of enemy soldiers. But at the moment, they have become isolated and alone.

"Kill! Conquer the city, and indulge it for three days. If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with ten pieces of silver, and if you kill an officer, you will be rewarded with 100 pieces of silver, and you will be rewarded with two women. The officer of the Su Mo Ya Department also sharply conveyed the instructions of the rear general.

The Warrior Army, which was once again stimulated by the generals, continued to attack the city, and in a short time, more Warrior soldiers stepped on the corpses of their robes and continued to go up the ladder to the city.

Rolling oil, beating wood, falling rocks, and all kinds of tools to defend the city were constantly smashed against the Yan Ya army on the cloud ladder. Countless soldiers were always about to climb the top of the city when they were smashed down by the endless defense equipment.

After paying a heavy price, stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the Jin Ya army under the city finally kept jumping on the city. The soldiers at the head of the city threw down their longbowmen and crossbows, and they picked up their horizontal swords and engaged the enemy in close combat.

The army of the Yan Dynasty continued to pour into the city, and the Xiaoguo army on the city did not give an inch, and both sides were all fighting together for their lives. There were white-knuckle battles everywhere, and more and more of the Yan army poured into the city, and countless young men were forced to drop their bows and crossbows, pick up their horizontal swords, and fiercely tear the enemy apart. They are trained reserves, and if they were ordinary young and strong, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Cavalry, attack! Heavy infantry, kill! Get them out! Yang Wangqing looked at the rear army under the city wall, and most of the soldiers around the main general rushed to the city wall, and couldn't help but give an order in a cold voice.
