Ma Dai said: "Fu Yu's people have a stronghold with their backs in the woods. If we attack with fire, our army may be able to defeat the majority with less. We can defeat Fu Yu's people without waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Although it will not be a complete victory, we can still give Fu Yu's people some relief."
A heavy blow."
Gongsun Kang said with a smile: "This is a wonderful plan. We Qiutai relies on a large number of people and bullies us with a small number of people. If we win this battle, you generals will wait for promotion. After the reinforcements arrive, our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue it and regain the lost ground along the way.
Go to Fuyu's hometown and completely conquer Fuyu."
After the discussion, Gongsun Kang immediately discussed with Ma Dai, and then began to mobilize troops and generals. Using the east gate where the general had lost as a breakthrough point, he concentrated cavalry, infantry and other superior forces and immediately launched an attack outside the city.
Gan Xiaoning and Ma Dai were the forwards on the left and right, each leading five hundred cavalry to charge towards Fu Yu's people, followed closely by Gongsun Kang's infantry.
The death of Huqiutai caused the Fuyu people to be in disarray. The Fuyu people, who lost their command, immediately became confused. Unable to withstand Gan Xiaoning and Ma Dai's offensive, the Fuyu people retreated backwards and quickly exited the dense forest. After that, the Fuyu people
Taking advantage of the cover of the woods, arrows began to be fired one after another.
Fu Yuren's arrow technique was precise, and the arrows were smeared with poison. The injured person died immediately. For a while, Ma Dai and Gan Xiaoning were unable to move forward and had to retreat.
At this time, the infantry led by Gongsun Kang arrived, blocking the front with shields, and approached the woods step by step, blocking all the arrows fired by the rest of the people from their shields. Gongsun Kang camped step by step, gradually approaching the woods, and the rest of the fu people saw that they were helpless.
, and feared that the Chinese army would get too close, so they retreated deeper into the dense forest again.
When he was still more than twenty steps away from the woods, Gongsun Kang immediately shouted: "Set fire!"
The Chinese soldiers, who had been holding back their energy, fired their ignited crossbow arrows one after another, and shot them into the woods. The woods were mostly filled with flammable plants. Once they came into contact with the flames, they began to burn after a while.
The fire gradually spread to the surrounding areas, and soon scorching fire dragons appeared.
Although the fire started, it did not spread as quickly as expected, but it still caused the rest of the people to panic and start to retreat.
Seeing that their goal was achieved, Ma Dai and Gongsun Kang began to withdraw their troops back to the city. Although there was only such a small amount of fire, the woods connected three gates outside Liaodong City. Once it was completely burned, all the rest of the people would have to withdraw together.
.
Yuqoutai was still in the Chinese army's tent. He had just received the news that his brother Huqoutai had been killed by the Chinese army. He immediately saw thick smoke rising from the east and asked immediately: "East Gate
What happened there?"
"Your Majesty, there is a fire. Our military camp outside the east gate has not yet been firmly established, but it has caught fire. The general's men have been forced back by the Chinese army, and the fire has begun to spread to the surrounding areas. It is getting bigger and bigger. I am afraid it will spread.
Danger to the other two doors.”
After hearing this, Wei Qiutai said angrily: "This Huqiutai is more successful than failure. He has clearly ordered not to attack Liaodong City easily, but he just refuses to listen. You quickly pass the order down and take all the troops from the east, south and north gates."
Withdraw to the west gate. This is the only way for the Chinese army to move from east to west. As long as we block it here, we can cut off the connection between Liaodong and the west. If reinforcements arrive in time, our army will be able to cope with it."
"promise!"
After Yuqoutai's order was conveyed, all the Fuyu people withdrew to the west gate and set up camps in front and back, stretching for several miles. Yuqoutai blocked his way with huge rocks and guarded it with a large number of archers, while he went there in person
The rear army observed the terrain and secretly set up an ambush. No matter how the woods were burned by fire, he would not go out to fight.
On the tower of Liaodong City, Ma Dai couldn't help but frowned after seeing such a scene, and said to Gongsun Kang: "I thought that the Fuyu people would retreat in the face of difficulties, but I didn't expect that the Fuyu people actually blocked our army's passage with heavy troops.
The only way to reach western Liaoning. In this way, the fire attack plan will completely fail."
"I have lived in Liaodong for a long time. Weiqoutai is a shrewd man, good at learning, and a rare general. He knows that he will definitely suffer losses in a head-on confrontation, so he refuses to launch an attack. This morning, Huqoutai was angered by my words, so he refused to attack.
The battle is considered a small victory for our army, but with the enemy now, it is indeed a difficult problem how to repel a hundred thousand enemies. General Ma, do you have any other plans?" Gongsun Kang said sincerely.
Ma Dai shook his head and said: "I have been dancing with guns and sticks since I was a child. It's okay for me to charge into battle. Moreover, this is also the first real war I have participated in. I have little experience and am not as good as General Gongsun. Now I am very popular."
If the attack fails, it will be difficult for me to come up with any clever ideas."
Gongsun Kang said with a smile: "General Ma is too modest. I am just crazy about how old General Ma is. But this is the land of the emperor's dragon. Liaodong can be said to be the emperor's dragon vein. Once it is invaded by foreign barbarians, it will inevitably be damaged."
We are the prestige of China. When the emperor was the governor of Liaodong, he relied on Liaodong’s step-by-step expansion and gradually achieved today’s great achievements. We must stick to this.
Here, no opportunity can be given to foreign barbarians. This time King Fuyu, who has always been deferential to our country, openly rebelled, which is really surprising. If Weiqoutai had been insisting on not fighting, our army would not have to send troops.
If we just spend this time, once Fu Yu and others have finished eating their food, they will naturally retreat. If we don't retreat, when reinforcements arrive, we will attack from both front and back, and we will definitely be able to defeat Weiqoutai."
Ma Dai said: "What the general said is true."
There was a fire outside Liaodong City. Both the Fuyu people and the Huaxia people turned a blind eye to the fire and allowed it to spread gradually. However, the billowing smoke from the fire was blown into Liaodong City by the wind, but it made people feel uncomfortable.
The people in the city complained.
Therefore, Gongsun Kang had to send troops to put out the fire, which had not yet caused too much harm. After all, this dense forest was also a barrier to Liaodong City.
The fire was too big and too few people were dispatched to put it out. Fortunately, dark clouds covered the sky that day, and it rained heavily soon. Once the rain fell in time, the forest fire that had not yet caused any serious consequences was destroyed.
The rain extinguished the water. And all the Chinese soldiers retreated into the city. In the small forest that was burned outside, only a scorched black ground was left.
When Weiqoutai heard that the fire had been put out, he stopped dividing his troops and continued to stay there. The front army used huge rocks to block the way and set up many obstacles to prevent the Chinese army from launching an attack from the city, while the rear army continued to lay some traps.
And they sent 20,000 archers to hide in the woods on both sides of the road.
The rest of the people are all hunters. The traps set when hunting and the necessary concealment required to catch prey all come into play at this time. At first glance, there is nothing here, but in fact, there is nothing on this must-have road.
However, there are many traps along the way, with as many as 60,000 people.
The Fuyu people believed that their weapons, armor and other items were not as sharp and strong as those of the Huaxia Kingdom, and they were not as good at charging as the Huaxia Kingdom, so Wei Qoutai used his strengths and avoided weaknesses and did not engage in a head-on battle with the Huaxia Kingdom. Instead, he specially set up a trap to lure the Huaxia Kingdom.
The reinforcements of the Chinese army entered the trap, and then killed them with bows and arrows, weapons that everyone in the world can use.
It is undeniable that Weiqoutai is indeed a talent and an outstanding leader of ethnic minorities. Ever since Gao Fei started his campaign in Liaodong and west eleven years ago, he has felt a great threat, so he hid himself
On the surface, he is respectful, humble, and friendly to Gao Fei, but in fact, he has been secretly developing his army.
The number of Fuyu people was originally very small. In the past, the number of Fuyu people was only about 400,000 at most. However, through a series of political maneuvers by Weiqoutai, the number of Fuyu people reached 600,000. They also trained archers and cavalry and were willing to give up to Gaofei.
As a livestock base, you can raise some cattle, sheep, horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock, and then sell the livestock to the Chinese nation to earn a small amount of hard-earned money.
It is precisely because of this that the Fuyu people relied on this money to expand the army, recruit soldiers, and train the army. In addition, the Fuyu people surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom. Whenever something big happened in the Huaxia Kingdom, they would go to express their congratulations or condolences, and send envoys there.
After learning from the Huaxia Kingdom, today's reformed Fuyu people emerged, which enabled the Fuyu people who had been in a slave society to directly enter a feudal society with relatively centralized power.
"Prime Minister." Weiqoutai stood on a hillside and said to a man behind him who was wearing the attire of a Chinese scholar, "Send out scouts to find out when the reinforcements from the Huaxia Kingdom will arrive."
The person who was called the prime minister was also a man from Fuyu, named Mokomo. However, he lived in China for eight full years and did not return to Fuyu until the beginning of this year. It was precisely because of his return that he brought
Only after the news came back did Weiqoutai see the opportunity, he forced reforms, followed the three provinces and six ministries system followed by the Huaxia Kingdom, and established civil and military officials such as prime minister and general.
After hearing this, Mokomo immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to handle this matter. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Once there is news, the scouts will come back immediately to report. However, the general is dead, and the whole army cannot be without a commander."
, we need to support another one.”
Yuqoutai nodded and said calmly: "Huqoutai is too reckless. If he were not my brother, how could he take on such a big responsibility? Prime Minister, do you have anyone in mind?"
"Your Majesty, Mokodo is both wise and brave, and he has made great contributions to my husband. I believe that Mokodo should be the general and command the entire army." Mokomo said.
"Mokodo? Isn't he your brother? If you openly recommend him like this, aren't you afraid that the king will say that you are using your power for personal gain?" Wei Qoutai said.
"Haha, the king's eyes are sharp. With the king's intelligence, even if Mokodo becomes the general, he is just a pawn in the king's hands. As for using power for personal gain, if the king thinks that a member of the Moko family holds an important position
Too many, I am willing to resign as prime minister." Mokomo said.
Weiqutai smiled and said: "I know your character well. Mokodo is indeed a talented general, and it is reasonable for him to serve as a general. Back then, I sent 200 people to Gao Fei to learn the Han people's country-governing strategies.
But you are the only one who has learned it, which is enough to prove your talent. Don't talk about resigning from now on. As long as there are talented people, I will entrust them with important tasks."
Mokomo said in admiration: "Your Majesty is wise. I sincerely wish your Majesty to seize Liaodong as soon as possible, and change the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong and proclaim himself emperor. As long as you occupy Liaodong, it will be equivalent to destroying the dragon vein of China. This land of dragon prosperity will definitely make your Majesty
Unify the world."
"Hahaha...I accept your good words." Yuqoutai smiled heartily. In his eyes, the future was bright.
