No Liao people could survive the trampling of Yunnei's Jurchen cavalry unless they hid in the Song fortress.
The Liao people who took refuge in the fort became laborers in building the fort, and the fort and the Song army inside provided them with shelter and food.
Starting from Yingzhou on the border of Song and Liao Dynasties, forts rising up one after another depending on the terrain, the speed is jaw-dropping.
The Liao people in Yunnei knew that if this fortress was breached, they would return to the life that was worse than death some time ago.
No one wanted to continue to live under the Jurchen's iron heel, so there was almost no supervision and everyone worked hard to build it.
In the Qinlong area, the Song Dynasty's wealth and its deployment capabilities after the New Deal finally showed their power at this moment.
Countless convoys carrying supplies and baggage rushed to the Yingzhou border, making Yanmen Pass even busier.
Once this behemoth with a population of hundreds of millions is activated, the war potential it unleashes is infinite and cannot be matched by any other country in this era.
Yingzhou Prefecture, Qingyuan River.
The hill beside the river was originally a bandit's lair. The terrain here is high and steep, surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The army of Zhongshi Dao plowed the courtyard and swept out the caves. After clearing out the bandits, they built Qingchuan Village on top of their village.
Standing on the observation deck on the top of the village and looking down, there was a group of people escorting the peasants to transport food to the top of the mountain.
Khitan Emperor Yelu Dashi gave an order, and the Yunnan states were filled with smoke and fire, and they took the initiative to attack the Jurchens and their servants and vassal armies.
However, not a single soldier came out of the heavily guarded Yingzhou City. Zhong Shidao led the Western Army to fight for a while, then retreated to the Qingchuan River and began to build a fortress.
"There are eight battalions of resentful troops in Yingzhou City, and there are no less than 20,000 Khitan soldiers. In this battle in Yunnei, they dare to close the city gate tightly. It is really ridiculous." Zhong Shizhong complained at the side.
Yao Gu smiled and said: "Yingzhou Mansion is close to the Song Dynasty and was not the focus of the Khitan's deployment in the first place. Yelu Dashi's intention of placing some surrendered generals and resentful troops with low combat power here is already obvious.
At this stage, the Liao people are already on their last legs, and everyone knows they are doomed. Unexpectedly, the battle at Yelu Dashi brought back some life, and they are a real character."
Zhong Shidao put down the telescope in his hand and couldn't help but admire it every time: "I don't know how this thing was made. It really shrinks to an inch and allows you to see thousands of miles away."
"I heard that it was done by one of Yang Shaozai's adopted sons."
Although the Zhongshi had always complained about Yang Lin's reduction of the power of the generals of the Western Army, they did not deny his ability. After listening to his brother's words, he opened his mouth to explain.
Zhong Shidao smiled and said: "Although Yelu Dashi fought a life-saving battle, the fall of the Khitan is still inevitable. Take Yingzhou City as an example, the defenders here are like the Khitan people today. They are greedy and fearful.
Death, having his spine broken by the Jurchens, fleeing after hearing the battle, and being unable to escape the enemy cannot be reversed by Yelu Dashi alone."
"What's more important is that the imperial court allowed our Western Army to start building forts in Yingzhou. This is a vicious plan to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. Compared with this, the Jurchen's iron-footed invasion is nothing. When these military forts are connected, the area covered is
The defeat of Song Dynasty and Xixia is the best precedent."
Almost all the officers and soldiers of the Western Army did not admit that the destruction of Xixia had anything to do with Tong Guan, but believed that it was the result of the Western Army's continuous encroachment for a hundred years.
In Yingzhou City, the conflict between the Liao soldiers and the Eighth Battalion of the Resentful Army has become irreconcilable.
Pharmacist Guo looked at the angry faces all over the camp, hesitant in his heart.
These troubled times gave them the opportunity to lead an army, but it was a pity that they encountered the most tragic troubled times. It would have been fine if they had defended Yingzhou to get a chance to survive, but Yelu Xian's refusal to provide food had angered all the resentful soldiers.
Among the eight battalions of the Resentful Army, Guo Yaoshi's battalion has the largest number of people, but if we say the most united, it is Dong Xiaoxiu and the others.
These people came from the same county. Dong Xiuo and his officers Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun, etc. were originally the patriarchs of these three large Han clans in Liaodong. And most of their generals and subordinates were also of the same race, sharing weal and woe with each other, advancing and retreating together.
.
"We are Han people. No matter which side you surrender to, you will be bullied. Only surrendering to the Song Dynasty is the best." Guo Yaoshi advised.
Dong Xiaoxiu disagreed. He chuckled and said: "So what about the Song people? We are not just relying on others. When did we Liaodong Han children be recognized by the Song Dynasty? According to me, none of us will surrender and occupy this place."
We should build a great city in the state and make good friends with all directions. When the time comes, no one will come to attack us for no reason. If we come, we will fight to the death with them. This is the freedom, freedom and happiness."
Yaoshi Guo was so angry that his vision went dark. He is just a stupid and stupid thief. Yingzhou is such an important place. You occupy the city and you want to be safe with the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties.
These bird people hunt in snow nests and stay with animals for a long time, and their brains are not as good as pig brains.
"No matter what, the most important thing is to kill the dog Yelu Xian first," Zhen Wuchen said.
Pharmacist Guo saw that this was a sensible person, and said quickly: "Yes, but killing Yelu Xian is tantamount to rebellion by us people, and we no longer belong to the Khitan. Will the Song people still provide food aid? We must have it."
You know, it was the Liao and Song Dynasties that made the alliance, but it was not with us. In such a large Yingzhou city, without the assistance of the Song people, it will be difficult to live on and feed the people. So before killing people, you must first think of a way out."
"We have occupied the city. It is not the right time for these birds and the common people to feed us. Why do we have to feed the common people instead?" Dong Xiuqiu said in a loud voice.
"Idiot!" Pharmacist Guo couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "The city is isolated inside and outside, how can the people feed you?"
Although Dong Xiaoxiu was stupid, he was not annoyed when he was scolded. He just said: "I can see that you all want to surrender. It's just who you want to surrender. That's it. Let's work together to kill Yelu Xian. You
Go out by yourself, surrender to whomever you like, and occupy Yingzhou according to yourself and your brothers."
After he finished speaking, he realized that this idea was perfect and smiled triumphantly.
With a bang, Pharmacist Guo punched the table and walked away.
"Huh, Guo looks down on us, and it's not just a day or two. Although everyone is called the Resentment Army, they all go their own way, and no one can interfere with our affairs."
The other battalions in the tent were not as powerful as these two, and they looked at each other. In the final analysis, the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army in Liaodong was just a death squad temporarily recruited by a group of refugees. It was originally Yelu Chun's cannon fodder, but he did not expect that his elite
Even though they died, these cannon fodder survived.
Most of these people are short-sighted, but Yaoshi Guo is a little stronger and has some tactics.
As he walked, Pharmacist Guo said to the people around him: "Dong Xiujiao is as stupid as a pig, and he is stubborn. If you don't kill him, you will act rashly, and there will be endless troubles!"
