Chapter 476 Two Ways

Guo Ning smiled easily, but the group was unavoidably surprised.

Several people immediately asked: "It's so fast! Does the Mongolian army care about Xianping Mansion?"

Guo Ning handed the military report to Yishi Chucai, waved his hand and said, "Na Zhebie left behind [-] soldiers to monitor Xianping Mansion, led [-] light cavalry to the south, and set fire to Shenzhou and Liaoyang Mansions along the way. They passed through Chengzhou a few days ago, and they should be in Gaizhou by now."

The crowd was in an uproar.

A general said angrily: "Just relying on a few thousand light cavalry, how dare you come to tease us! These black tartars are too big!"

Some people immediately said: "Then Jebie is no small matter, we must hurry up to arrange support, and we must not ignore it!"

During the turmoil, Guo Ning asked in a low voice: "Have the weapons and armor for Liaodong been shipped?"

Yicha Chucai responded: "It was shipped yesterday, and Li Yunhui will be responsible for the distribution; Director Han has also begun to gather all the troops."

Guo Ning nodded, and said slowly: "It is difficult for Mongolian Qingqi to attack cities. After all, we have been operating for several months, and several cities are reliable. At most, they will harass them a little bit, and it shouldn't be a big problem."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that I'm afraid the tribal people scattered in the wild will inevitably suffer casualties. Among them, there are quite a few Khitans. Do we need to arrange a fleet..."

"No, the fleet has a use for the fleet."

Yila Chucai lowered his eyes and looked at the ground: "In this world, grassroots people in Qianli are like weeds. Killing others yesterday and being killed today are all justified. Xuan Envoy, let's only look at the overall situation!"

Guo Ning patted Chucai's arm.

As the situation became more and more chaotic, Yila Chucai was no longer the scholarly temperament he used to be, and his heart became harder and harder.Guo Ning wanted to praise him a few words, but he didn't know what to say. Seeing that the generals were still thinking about it, he coughed lightly and stood up.

Even if there is sea communication between Liaodong and Shandong, the news will always be delayed for a day or two.

When Guo Ning got the military report, Han Xuan was standing on Gaizhou City, looking far and near.

As far as he could see, one after another newly built villages were burned down, the fireworks were raging, and the rising black smoke was like a giant pillar, straight up into the sky.

Gaizhou's topography is high in the east and low in the west, with low mountains and hills in the east and southeast, and winding rivers; while the northwest line is mostly plain.Therefore, the distribution of cities is mostly along the northwest plain, stretching from north to south.

Most of these cities rose in the Han Dynasty, and after the Han and Jin Dynasties, they were transferred to the Yan, Koryo, Bohai, Liao, and Jin regimes in Xianbei, and there have always been many battles for balance.

For example, Tangchi County, which guards Qingshiling in the north, is the place where Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Korea and Xue Rengui climbed to the city in white clothes.And Jian'an County, the seat of Gaizhou, was the place where General Zhang Jian garrisoned at that time.Further south, Xiuyan, Xiongyue and other cities had the military state system until the Liao Dynasty, and they were regarded as key points.

In these many cities, there used to be garrisons of the Ding Navy, which were used to suppress the riots of the surrounding tribesmen.But after the Mongolian army entered Liaodong, Han Xuan immediately retracted his ministries back to Jian'an County.He also sent people to understand the many tribes distributed in this area, and asked them to either go to the mountains to take shelter temporarily, or go south to Fuzhou, waiting for the response of Dinghai from Shandong.

However, perhaps because after being attached to Dinghai, as long as he works hard every day, he will have a handful of grains to eat, which is really good.Many Holigai or Yejuzhen couldn't bear to leave.

Going to the deep mountains in this cold winter is indeed extremely difficult and dangerous. Many Khitan people are the old tribe of Yelu Liuge. They have been farming for a long time, and they have no ability to eat in the mountains, forests and fields, let alone go to the mountains to die.

So no matter how the officers and men of the Ding Navy drove them away, many people still stayed where they were.

Now, these people were either killed, or they were driven by the Mongols to serve as meat shields in the siege, and died in the battle to attack the next village.

Suddenly, a wind blows; and in the leaden air, fine snow particles fall.The wind slapped the snow particles on Han Xuan's face, which was icy cold.

Just now when he was inspecting the city defense, he took off his fur robe to a soldier.At this moment, I went around half of the city, and it was freezing.However, this bit of chill is nothing compared to the time when I rolled in the snowdrifts in northern Xinjiang in the early years.Han Xuan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has long since ignored these physical hardships.

Not far from him, a bonfire was lit. Several officers were stretching out their hands to warm themselves by the fire. One of the generals warmed his hands and stood upright on the battlement wall, stretching out his hands to gesture distance and calculate the position of the rising smoke column.

Because of the strong wind, the column of smoke was blown away a lot. After thinking for a long time, he said to Han Xuan: "The six villages with the characters A and B, and the first to fourth villages with the C characters have all been burned. Yes. Estimated time, the sixth village with the A character was broken first, and after two hours, the characters B and C were turned. The Mongols should be the first to attack the sixth village with the A character, and then the Khitans who engulfed the sixth village with the A character. Burn and kill all the way."

This is the difficulty facing the Mongols.

If you send troops to fight in the field, it is easy to suffer losses; if you defend the city, you can only sit and watch the Mongols break through the villages and towns one by one, and then keep engulfing people, taking their lives to pacify more villages and towns.

In the end, when all the surrounding areas were cleared and the Mongols gathered under the city, it was all the living people in the entire area.The only way for these people to survive is to break through the city and exchange the lives of the people in the city for their own.

"It's half an hour at most, and it's going to be dark."

Han Xuan looked at the sky: "The fifth village with the C character is large and relatively strong. Unfortunately, it can't withstand the Mongols. It will definitely be broken before dark. However, the sixth village with the C character and the sixth village with the T character behind it Fortress, there should be no problem. The Khitan people have always been obedient, and they still need to be rescued. Tell the brothers, take the time to rest and recharge your spirits."

All the generals should be.

Han Xuan's judgment was correct, the fifth village of C is near, and the battle is in full swing at this moment.

Among the drifting snow particles, hundreds of people fought hard, chopping or beating each other with swords or sticks.Outside the earthen walls surrounding the village, some people were covered in blood, screaming and screaming while climbing; some cowered back, covering their faces with their hands and crying loudly, and then they were shot in the back of the head by an arrow flying far away, killing them instantly.

However, none of the people fighting on the field were Mongolian generals, they were all Khitans.

Both sides shouted and shouted with the same accent.

The so-called winner and loser is just like that.After the fall of Daliao, a large number of Khitans were forced to migrate to the Northeast, where they were supervised by the local Jurchens and tortured for decades. When they followed Yelu Liuge to raise troops, they once created considerable momentum, and then quickly failed.

After the death of Brother Yeluliu, the Khitan people lost their spirits.Among them, even the more foresighted ones don't know where the future lies for themselves and even the Khitan people.

They are the tools of the Mongols, the slaves of the Jurchens, and the Han'er... Maybe the Han'er treats them better, but they are just captives.Day after day of hard work, the exchange is just a mouthful of food, so what else?

They were numb and desperate, so they stopped thinking about it.

When the battle broke out suddenly, some people rushed to kill under the intimidation of the Mongols, and some subconsciously gathered behind the settlement's earthen wall, desperately resisting.Because neither side had any weapons at hand, the battle was not fierce, but it was very miserable. Under the watchful eyes of Jebe, some people fought with the enemy with bare hands, and even cried and bit the opponent's throat, spitting out the broken flesh and blood on the ground. .

　It's ridiculous, my jaw seems to be dislocated...but I don't know why, it must not be watching the game...
