Chapter five hundred and eighty second not delicious
(Fifth update, please collect)
Chapter 582
The 120,000 Khitan troops left in the north of Taiyuan City suffered a disastrous defeat overnight. Yelu Deguang retreated north with only more than 40,000 defeated troops. For two consecutive days, the Han cavalry was stuck behind like annoying flies. Once
When the Khitan people relaxed, they pounced on them immediately. But flies without sharp fangs could not tear off the flesh and blood, but the horse spears and horizontal knives in the hands of the Han people could easily kill people.
They retreated for more than 200 miles to the north. If the rear army, Su Ge's troops, had not responded in time, the Khitan troops, which had been torn for two consecutive days, would not have been able to save even 30,000 people. For more than 200 miles, 40,000 people could not have been saved.
More than 10,000 people were wiped out bit by bit by the Han army!
After Su Ge's less than 60,000 Khitan troops, who were besieging Xinzhou, responded to Yelu Deguang, the Han army seemed to see that there was no chance to get any advantage, and simply followed the Khitans without attacking, as disgusting as seeing off guests.
With Yelu Deguang and all the Khitan warriors, Xinzhou was besieged for more than twenty days. Su Ge's troops lost nearly 10,000 troops and failed to capture Xinzhou. The two depressed armies gathered together and slowly passed by.
Retreat in the direction of the state.
On the other side of Daizhou, Tiago's 120,000 troops were still fighting fiercely with the Han Dynasty's Daizhou Jiedushi Dugu Ruizhi and Yizhou Jiedushi Luo Fu's troops. After Luo Fu arrived, Tiago had no strength.
With the advantage, he switched from offensive to defensive, holding on to the Han army without daring to retreat at all. Because Tiago knew that if he retreated, the Han army in Daizhou and Yizhou would immediately seal the pockets.
, and trapped Yelu Deguang and Su Ge's remaining soldiers of less than 100,000 to death in the territory of Han Dynasty.
As long as Tiago is still in front, Yelu Deguang is not worried that he will not be able to retreat. But what he is more worried about now is that the 80,000 Hua Lachi troops who were sent to attack Qinzhou may be in danger. Qinzhou is in danger.
Zhoutuntian is an important place for the defense of the Han army. Hua Lachi's troops only brought four days of rations. Conquering Qinzhou was originally a very difficult task. Now Yelu Deguang was defeated faster than Hua Lachi.
Without backup, the only fate for Hua Lachi's troops would be to be trapped to death by the army mobilized by Liu Ling.
What can an army without food and grass supplies do, no matter how brave it is? Although if you break out from Qinzhou to the north, it only takes five days and five nights to cross Daizhou. If you break out to the northeast, it takes ten days and nights.
If you rush to the south of Youzhou and break out due west in seven days, you can rush to the territory of the Xixia people, but there is no doubt that these are dead ends.
This time Yelu Deguang launched a large-scale southern expedition. He was in high spirits when he sent out his troops, but he was in a miserable state when he returned. He didn't even dare to get off the carriage and look at the dejected soldiers. He couldn't pretend to be nonchalant in the face of the dejected faces.
He didn't know how to explain it to the soldiers. Although, with his status, he didn't need to explain anything at all.
The killing of horses started two days ago. Otherwise, the soldiers would not have the strength to escape.
Whenever a servant brought stewed horse meat to Yelu Deguang, he couldn't help but want to vomit. It seemed that the steaming and fragrant horse meat placed in front of him was not horse meat, but a piece of horse meat.
A large bowl was filled with the corpses of the Khitan people whose limbs were broken off. But even so, Yelu Deguang still had to endure vomiting and eat the horse meat one bite at a time because he didn't want to starve to death. If that happened, he would have no doubts.
He will be the saddest prince in the Liao Kingdom.
Yelv Deguang told himself that as long as he was alive, he would have a chance to turn over.
The humiliation the Han people have inflicted on themselves will have to be paid back twice as much sooner or later.
At first, Yelu Deguang sent scouts to inquire about Hua Lachi. When none of the scouts sent out came back, Yelu Deguang knew that Hua Lachi was in danger. The Han army had blocked the news and blocked the road.
, the only explanation is that Liu Ling had already freed up his hands to deal with Hua Lachi's 80,000 Khitan warriors who were so hungry that they could no longer hold their scimitars.
Yelu Deguang had never been so frustrated and humiliated in his life. He even felt like a wild dog being chased and beaten.
He couldn't bear this kind of depression, and he couldn't even vent it by cutting off the head of his most beloved maid with a knife.
Yelv Deguang was right. The reason why Liu Ling let them go was to deal with Hua Lachi's 80,000 Khitan soldiers, and he used the most cruel methods.
A total of 200,000 troops from Jinzhou, Qinzhou, Taiyuan, and Luzhou surrounded Hua Lachi's remnant troops. They continuously compressed the encirclement and forced the Khitans to retreat to Daqing Mountain.
Qingshan can be regarded as a branch of the Taihang Mountains, but it is not connected to the Taihang Mountains. When Ouyang Zhuan, the governor of Yingzhou in the Han Dynasty, rebelled at the foot of Daqing Mountain, Liu Ling defeated 200,000 rebels with 10,000 elite cavalry. Daqingshan
It's not big, and there's not much green. Especially in winter, the whole mountain looks like a bare boulder.
The remaining troops under Hua Lachi's command were less than 50,000. They were chased and intercepted by the Han army and had no choice but to retreat to Daqing Mountain. Hua Lachi originally wanted to rest on the mountain and then lead his army to break out in the direction of Taiyuan. However, he did not expect that His Highness Yelu Deguang would be defeated.
It happened so quickly and so miserably. The soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan camp had already withdrawn, and Hua Lachi knew that he was in a desperate situation.
With no backup and no food, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, the team had to start killing horses for food. How long can it last? How many times can it withstand the siege of the Han army? Hua Lachi himself does not know. He only knows that it will not be used anymore.
In five days, all the horses will be killed. At that time, the Han army does not need to attack the mountain, but only needs to surround it for ten or eight days, and he and the 50,000 soldiers under his command will starve to death.
Hua Lachi never thought that he would starve to death. He also never thought that one day he would be surrounded by weak Han people and would not be able to escape.
Because of the killing of horses, the mobility of the troops became weaker and weaker. The Khitan warriors who had to fight on foot had no advantage at all. Although most of the Han people were infantry, they could rely on skillful cooperation and constantly changing
The formation unscrupulously bullied those Khitans who were not good at foot combat.
Some people are unhappy, and naturally some people are happy.
When Hua Lachi was so worried that he was pulling out his hair, the Han generals who besieged Daqingshan were laughing heartily. Now the initiative is in their hands. As long as they besiege Daqingshan for another ten days, the Khitan people will starve to death.
There is no reason to be unhappy, and there is no reason not to celebrate. Is there anything more satisfying than starving to death the enemy who is knocking on your door? What else is better than watching your enemy become so desperate that every day some people commit suicide because they cannot stand the pressure.
What about the exciting stuff?
This is not a game, so there is no mercy.
Being able to win without spending a single soldier is the greatest victory.
Eighty thousand people, hand in hand, can be lined up from Taiyuan to Youzhou, right? If these 80,000 Khitan people starve to death, Ye Luxiong, who is rushing to Daizhou, will roar with anger, jump with anger, and be so angry that he can't eat or drink.
?
Better to piss him off.
Someone told Liu Ling that if Hua Lachi's surrender was accepted, it would send a signal to all the Khitans that the Lord of the Han Dynasty was merciful. As long as they realized their mistakes and repented, the Lord of the Han Dynasty would give everyone a signal.
Treat the prisoners generously. Give them warm clothes to cover their naked bodies exposed to the cold wind, give them hot meals to fill their hungry stomachs, give them a home, and let them feel the generosity and kindness of the Han people.
.
Such voices are not small, especially among the civil servants. Almost every day, people come to Liu Ling to give advice and righteously persuade Liu Ling to send people to surrender the remnant Khitan soldiers who have almost lost their resistance. Harvest 50,000 prisoners to show the generosity of the Han Dynasty.
The Khitans all knew they were wrong, wouldn't it be better than killing 50,000 people to arouse the Khitans' determination for revenge?
Liu Ling's answer was yes. From a tactical perspective and a human perspective, it might be better to agree to the Khitans' surrender. But he would not agree to the Khitans' surrender, nor would he give the Khitans a grain of wheat or a piece of cloth.
.
Liu Ling didn't even bother to explain anything to the civil servants. He just asked coldly: "The Han people have been pretending to be kind for thousands of years, but in exchange for peaceful coexistence?"
No one can answer, no one dares to answer.
The Han people have always considered themselves a country of etiquette, and even boasted that the Han people's army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. It is as if if the four words of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette are not mentioned, the emperor will not be justified. Those who shout benevolence and righteousness
Slogan people, they can say that they don’t want to be like barbaric barbarians who drink hair and drink blood. They can say that only tolerance and kindness can defeat the enemy. They even think that as long as His Majesty the Emperor walks around on the grassland, those uncivilized barbarians will crawl on their knees.
The earth was subdued by the so-called power of God. But they could not see the scene of hundreds of miles of dead bones strewn in the frontier fortress, nor the wounds that were trampled by iron hoofs on the land north of the Yangtze River that were difficult to heal.
People who flaunt benevolence, justice and etiquette have not remembered what the people outside the Great Wall have relied on to conquer the Central Plains time and time again since ancient times. They relied on scimitars and killing, rather than talking about benevolence, justice and morality.
Liu Ling said: "There is enough benevolence and righteousness, and there is no shortage of these 80,000 people."
As a result, the Han army surrounded Daqingshan tightly without even allowing a hair-thick gap. Hua Lachi led the desperate Khitan people to launch no less than fifty breakouts in seven days, and every time they were desperate
It was discovered that the Han people were so ferocious that they did not give them a chance to escape. The corpses piled up at the foot of the mountain were treated the same as the prisoners captured by the Han army. Their heads were chopped off, and then the heads were piled into a hill.
was burned.
On the seventh day of the siege, the Khitans had killed the last war horse. When Hua Lachi's soldiers brought a bowl of horse meat to Hua Lachi, his throat kept rolling, and he struggled
Swallowing mouthfuls of dry spit. When Hua Lachi sighed and rewarded them with the bowl of horse meat to share, the soldiers were like a pack of wolves and even fought over a piece of meat.
On the same day, Hua Lachi once again personally led all the guards to the front to launch a breakout. From the beginning to the end, he did not hide behind the guards until his body was covered with arrows and his withered belly was broken by arrows.
After opening, the same shriveled intestines flowed out. On the same day, the desperate Khitan people knelt down on the mountainside again and begged to surrender. They were rejected by the vicious Han people again and began to kill each other. It is actually very simple to eat people. When they go crazy with hunger
It's actually not difficult at all to stab the knife into Pao Ze's stomach.
On the fifteenth day of the siege, the Han army came over the mountains and plains without encountering any resistance.
What they saw were dead bodies all over the ground, and every one of them was hungry.
What they saw were thousands of walking corpses still alive eating the corpse of Paoze, and then they hacked to death the Khitans one by one, whose mouths were full of coagulated blood.
When death approaches, there is no fear on the face of every Khitan person, but relief and relief.
Suicide requires courage. In death, they finally get their destination.
Human flesh is not delicious. When the last Khitan man fell down, he thought, maybe it would be better if it was stewed? (To be continued)
