Chapter 223 Nanzao Withdrawal

Author: Sky Drive

In addition to digging trenches and building walls, they were urging the people to harvest rice. After harvesting the rice, they rushed to move the common people to the south of Shiyu Town. They were subjects of Suoyun Kingdom, and Suoyun Kingdom could not leave them alone.

The southward migration was a military operation. All civilians forced their migration southward, implementing a strong wall and clearing the fields, and not leaving any rice and grain for the fog-hei barbarians. All the houses in villages and towns were destroyed, all the animals that could not be taken away were killed, and all the wells were filled to death. There were those people who were stubborn and refused to leave their hometowns, Feng Ran asked soldiers to tie them up and forced them to escort them to the southward migration.

The people were slow to move and the war was tight. Feng Ran pointed to the map and ordered the generals and officers of the Weiyuan Army to be responsible for the area, and took their soldiers to help the people to clean up the southward migration. Whoever dared to take the yin as a yin, missed the house and the wells were not destroyed, and the people were not filled, and the people were not moved, then they would be held accountable at all levels. The military was particularly strict. Although some coercive means could be used in the process of assisting the people to move south, they should not use this to disturb the people, nor should they embezzle the people's property. If there is any appearance, they should be executed immediately!

Feng Ran urged Weiyuan Army to dig ditches and walls; Yi was worried about the people's migration south, and sent Zheng Xiunian and several Zheng family members to travel south and south of the South and north of Shiyu to supervise the Weiyuan Army to assist the people in the South. At the same time, they were constantly sending generals back to Shiyu Town to investigate the construction of fortifications and constantly urged the Ministry of Works to speed up the progress; then they also sent people to Dieyi Mountain and Wanqing Mountain to recruit all the mountain people, woodcutters and hunters living in the mountains, and their families moved south. With these people's familiarity with the terrain and ridges of the mountain roads and ridges, they could occupy the terrain and take advantage of the endless thoughts when fighting with the Wuhei Army in the mountains in the future. Feng Ran yi was so busy that he couldn't light the ground every day, and fell to bed when he was tired.

All the civilians south of Nanzao County and north of Shiyu Town, including some people from the Yuanjia Kingdom, all of them support the elderly and young families, take over their families, pack up their property, and drive the animals into Shiyu Town under the escort of officers and soldiers. After entering Shiyu Town, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to place the people moving south to various counties and places in the south of Suoyun Kingdom. Shiyu Town is about to become a battlefield, and all civilians are not allowed to stay in Shiyu Town and Loquat Valley, otherwise they will be punished by the mist-black peasants.

According to the record of the Grand Historian, in August of the first year of the Jingyun period, the Suoyun Kingdom moved more than 800,000 households from Nanzao County to settle south.

This is the first major population migration in Fengmeng history.

Before the war started, Feng Ran withdrew most of the troops from the Nanzao Defense Line. The withdrawn troops were partly assisting the people in moving south, partly assisting the Ministry of Works in Shiyu Town to build fortifications, and partly arranged to enter Dieyishan and Wanqingshan. The troops left on the Nanzao County Defense Line were only about 50,000, while the Wuhei army had a total of 500,000!

Feng Ran saw that the Wuhei army was different from the previous provocative attacks. He rushed over in a fierce manner and knew that the Wuhei Dynasty's attack on the three kingdoms in the middle was beginning. Feng Ran immediately ordered the camp to retreat, and did not confront the Wuhei army head-on, and retreated directly behind the "tofu" wall. The Wuhei army chased the edge of the trench, but hesitated and sent a small number of Wuhei soldiers to jump out of the trench. Feng Ran waited until the Wuhei soldiers climbed the trench and rushed to the earthen wall of the fence before ordering the kill. However, some powerful soldiers rushed down the earthen wall of the fence and entered the camp of the Weiyuan army.

Emperor Sural was in charge of Tianlu City, and General Kanriser became the commander of the Wuhei Army. Seeing that a trench suddenly appeared on the flat ground. Although it was strange, the trench looked very ordinary. He trooped and climbed out after a few steps. The earthen walls on the fence on the other side seemed unbearable, and he was even more laughing, so he ordered the entire army to attack.

It is easy to get down the ditch and slightly difficult to get up the ditch. Jump down here quickly and climb up there slightly slower. The ditch is soon filled with mist and black man. Feng Ranming said, "Set a fire! Fire arrow!"

As he died, the densely packed trenches suddenly started to fire, with straw on the bottom, mixed with oil and sulfur, and fire heads suddenly burned over with the road of the trenches. The fire was rapid and the smoke was strong. How could he not be shocked in the trenches? That's not all, followed by tens of thousands of arrows shooting and howls everywhere. The fog black soldiers in the trenches were killed and injured, and half of the immortal soldiers were burned by the fire.

The fog-black army immediately set up their formation and ordered the archers to shoot at the opposite bank through the trench to cover the retreat of the fog-black soldiers in the trench. The fog-black soldiers shot arrows, and the Weiyuan army hid behind the earth wall of the fence, and then continued to shoot arrows outward from the gap left when building the earth wall of the fence. The earth wall of the fence is extremely "tofu", but it is more than enough to block the arrows shot from the other side of the trench. Many soldiers with winks thought: This wall is built to block arrows, right?

After shooting the foggy black soldiers in the trench, Weiyuan's army slightly raised the tip of the arrow and shot to the opposite bank. There was a bunker on the side, so shoot hard. The side only relied on shields. How could the fence cover the earthen walls tightly? Moreover, there was a gap left in the earthen wall for archery. These archers were selected and they were also archers. At this time, they hid behind the earthen walls and aimed at shooting.

The battle between the two sides quickly turned into shooting with bows and arrows through the trench.

The battle of the formation was quickly decided. Seeing that the soldiers on the Wu Black side were constantly casualties, and the soldiers on the other side were blocked by earthen walls, it was obvious that the casualties were extremely small. Kanriser quickly ordered the retreat and retreated beyond the range of the Weiyuan Army's arrows.

The battle between the two sides was very short, and almost no mist black soldiers jumped into the trench escaped. They were all burned to death, Xun died, and shot to death in the trench.

In time, only the fire in the trench was still lit up, the sky was filled with the smell of stinking grass and trees, the skin and flesh were burnt, mixed with bloody aura, and the death of two fog black soldiers. There was a silence on the battlefield. The psychological impact of this battle on both sides was far greater than the victory or defeat of the battle itself!

For Feng Meng soldiers, the brutal Wu Hei Barbarian was not invincible!

For the fog black soldiers, the Feng Mengren, who thought the weak, had such a strong face, gave them heavy blows when they unexpectedly!

Then Feng Ran ordered the use of arrows shot by the opponent, abandoned the formation and retreated, marched for nearly a day, arrived at the second trench dug out in advance, ordered to rest and wait for work, but Wu Hei chased after Wu Hei. Wu Hei saw the trench again, dared not jump around casually. This time, Wu Hei asked his soldiers to fill the trench under the cover of shields and bows, and prepared to fill the trench and then rushed over to fight with Weiyuan Army. Weiyuan Army hid behind the low earth wall and shot the soldiers who filled the trench with soil. The trench was not too wide, and it was only about twenty steps away. The low wall was built on the other side of the trench, with a distance of twenty steps. For well-trained archers, it was really accurate and they were not dead. Then Wu Hei changed to using heavy armored cavalry to fill the trench with heavy armor to reduce casualties.

The two armies confronted each other. After a huge casualties, the Wuhei Army filled the width of the trench by about 30%. Feng Ran did not fight at all and ordered the ignition of straw, sulfur, oil and other objects buried in the trench, and calmly retreated to the third trench in the fire that soared into the sky.

In the five trenches in front and behind, Feng Ran led his army to deal with Wu Hei army for half a month. With very few casualties, he not only brought the 50,000 Weiyuan army, which was broken, back to Shiyu Town, but also won 15 days of precious time for the construction of Shiyu Town and the people's safe migration south. At the same time, he annihilated no less than 20,000 Wu Hei soldiers. Such a record boosted Feng Mengda 6, boosted the morale of the Suoyun Kingdom, and also made Feng Ran win extremely high prestige in the Suoyun Kingdom barracks.

According to the Grand Historian, on September 16, the commander of the military commander Feng Ran personally led the army to cut off the rear, and fought with the 500,000 Wuhei army for half a month, and retreated safely into Shiyu Town.

This battle is known in history as the withdrawal of Nanzao troops.

After Weiyuan's army withdrew from Shiyu Town, Wuhei's army of 500,000 troops immediately came to the city.

The army of Wuhei, which was blocked by the small trench for half a month, was so angry that Kanriser was given a warning by Emperor Sular, and instructed Kanriser to lead his army to take down the three countries of the middle lane as soon as possible. The longer the war was delayed, the more unfavorable it was for Wuhei. It must be conquered as soon as possible regardless of the cost. Therefore, when the army of Wuhei finally saw the city, he ordered a strong attack.

Although Feng Ran was arranged and was worried, he went to the city to supervise the battle several times. Although Feng Ran was relatively short and thin, his silver armored robe and scarlet cloak gave silent encouragement to the soldiers wherever he went.

From August 14th to September 16th, it took more than a month for the Ministry of Works to recruit tens of thousands of civilians, plus tens of thousands of soldiers from Weiyuan Army to strengthen and transform Shiyu Town and Loquat Valley. Feng Ran led his army to guard for two days and ordered: "Open the door and let 100,000 barbarians come in!"

Shiyu Town was originally built between two mountains, but after opening the door, it was a town. After Feng Ran discussed with the Ministry of Industry, he moved the residential houses to the left and right, and built a passage through the city in the middle. Strong city walls were built high on both sides of the passage, and overpasses were also built on the city walls, which were used to pass through the left and right towns.

The city gate of Shiyu Town was opened, and there were only one road to walk forward. Seeing that the fog black army behind finally broke through the city gate, they rushed forward continuously. The fog black soldiers in front were pushed forward by the fog black soldiers behind. After breaking through the city gate, what they saw was not the town streets, but the yidao roads blocked by the city walls on both sides. It was really strange. Although the soldiers in front shouted "Retreat quickly" and "scam", they were pushed by the soldiers behind and had to move forward bravely.
