Chapter 1182 The Rise of the Republic - The Beginning of the Collapse

"Haha, as I expected, the Han people were indeed unreliable!"

In the city of Lushun, Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty in the imperial tent, learned that Ma Zhi had fired a counter-flagship and set up a formation in Daheishan, but he actually stood up and did not get dizzy again.

Not only did they not faint, but the generals gathered were pretending to be calm and chuckled a few times, which really made them look like a famous general.

"Your Majesty," Yelu Yuji, who had just been appointed as the palace chief and the Imperial Camp Commander, said at this time, "Now the Han army has rebelled, and the Bohai people are unpredictable. The situation is extremely critical. The army cannot stay in Lushun for a long time."

Yelu Yuji was the brother-in-law of Concubine Wen Xiao Sesse. He was originally appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Camp and was Xiao Wuna's assistant. Because Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna have both been removed from their official positions, he was promoted to the Imperial Camp Commander and Commander of the Imperial Camp.

"I know!" Yelu Yanxi gritted her teeth, "It seems that the peace of mind of the Youzhou army is a trap!"

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

"I saw it," Yanxi said, "Are you all deployed, can you have a way to withdraw your troops?"

"Slowly retreat." Yu Ji said, "Our army still has 150,000, and the iron cavalry is no less than 20,000. As long as we form a formation and leave, we will be the elite soldiers behind the palace. What should we do if we are the horse-planted rats? Even the Youzhou army has nothing to be afraid of. Our army has many horses, and Youzhou is mainly infantry, and the large tube is heavy and difficult to move. It is impossible to follow the army to move quickly.

What they are concerned about is more than ten thousand cavalry in Youzhou and more than one thousand Wanyan girls who helped the evildoer."

To put it bluntly, but the monarch and ministers in the imperial tent know what it means to have an armored cavalry of the Youzhou Army and the Gundam who gave birth to a daughter?

If 150,000 Liao troops formed a formation to fight, there might be no need to be afraid. However, during the retreat, the army could use 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops behind the palace, and there was no advantage in terms of numbers.

With the combat power of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and the daughter Zhiganda, it is only after the stranger that cannot defeat your palace army.

But who dares to say such despicable words now?

"Who will come to the palace behind?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

"The old minister is willing to make meritorious service!"

What stood up was Xiao Wuna, who had been removed from his official position.

"I am willing to be the rear of the army."

Xiao Fengxian also stood up with his teeth. The defeat in the Liaohai Ice Field was actually a crime of war.

But it was defeated in the end!

And this battle was obviously the beginning of the collapse of the Great Liao Empire!

The Liao Kingdom lost more than 36,000 troops in this battle, including 7,000 armored cavalry and 600 daughters of Zhiganda.

For a semi-nomad nation with a population of only two or three million and an extreme mobilization force of no more than 400,000, it is almost a disaster to lose so many elites in one battle.

Moreover, Yelu Yanxi's main force was also in trouble. If he couldn't run out, the Great Liao Empire would no longer be a huge empire that dominates the north in the future...

"Okay!" Yelu Yanxi glanced at the short brother-in-law and the white-haired teacher, "I ordered you to be the two of Fei Xiong and Fei Ying's army to be Xiangwen, and lead them to the palace behind."

The two armies of Feixiong and Feiying were the Liao soldiers who ran back from the ice field.

They are also sinners! If they hadn't been running so fast, there might have been some fighting in the Battle of Ice Field.

The two armies did not escape, but only ran away more than 10,000 people, including the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. However, all the armored cavalry were lost on the battlefield of the ice field because they were drawn by Xiao Fengxian.

So these two armies were actually seriously damaged and had no combat power.

Yelu Yanxi kept them, but she lost her car to protect the coach. She wanted to leave more troops with complete combat effectiveness for herself...

At this point, he also knew that the Great Liao Empire was at its most dangerous time. Next, the entire Tokyo Road might be divided by Youzhou, the birth of a daughter, the Bohai people, and the Ma family in Xianzhou.

The Khitans had no choice but to retreat to Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road to recuperate.

If Zhao Ji can continue to transfusion blood to the Khitan, and at least one of the three major prairie tribes of Menggu, Shubu and Tatar can be bought. Then the Liao Kingdom still has a chance to stabilize the market, and it will be up to the change in the situation in Tokyo Road after that...

There are Youzhou, Nuzhi, Bohai, Xianzhou, and Majia in Tokyo, and there are still opportunities!

"Two Xiao Qings," Yelu Yanxi said, "I will lead my troops north to Hue City tonight. You two can lead the army to defend Lushun City and its surrounding camps! You must set up more flags. Zhang Bu is suspicious of the troops, so that the enemy thinks that our army is still there, and dare not advance north easily.

It doesn’t have to be guarded for many days. It only needs to be guarded for one day and one night. When my troops arrive at Shunhua City, I can make a living. No matter what the two of you are, I will forgive you for not being guilty. If there is a day when we meet, we can still restore our posts.”

Even though Yelu Yanxi was not bad, he was still very righteous to his confidant.

He also knew that the second Xiao guarded Lushun City and waited for death, and if he wanted to die, he had to be captured.

However, the three dynasties of the Song, Liao and Xia were all decent when dealing with high-level prisoners of war. Beheading was impossible, and there were many precedents to be released.

Wu Haogu would not make things difficult for the second Xiao, especially Xiao Fengxian's family should discuss it carefully, and he could also become a senator in the Senate of the Republic!

"I received the order..."

"Old officials should go through fire and water..."

When Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna were celebrating to Yelu Yanxi with gratitude, a waiter came in outside, panic and knew something was wrong.

"Report to your Majesty, I will report to you from afar and find that tens of thousands of Bohai soldiers and horses are heading towards Hue City!"

"What?"

"Hui City..."

"I've suffered!"

In the big tent, everyone was suddenly in an uproar.

The Hue City is a place where the army stationed grain! It has accumulated millions of wheat and countless fodders. Once it is lost, Yelu Yanxi's 150,000 troops will retreat on hunger.

It is 400 miles away from the front line of Lushun Prefecture to Chenzhou! Moreover, the grain storage in Chenzhou is also limited...

Yelu Yanxi, who was originally calm, had a dark look in front of him again. He was about to dizzy again, so he quickly bit his tongue, stimulated his energy, and barely stabilized.

You can't be dizzy now!

"Who will save the danger of Hue City?" Yelu Yanxi asked gritted her teeth.

Everyone goes there and it’s hanging!

Because of the front line in Huhua City, Yelu Yanxi did not deploy heavy troops. Only more than 10,000 guards were drawn from the Khitan army to guard there.

But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Hue City can still have 20,000 Bohai residents!

They are responsible for transferring military rations and supplying Lushun Camp!

The person responsible for commanding the 20,000 Bohai slaves was Gao Yongchang's younger brother Gao Yongfu.

Although Bohai slaves are just coolies and are not armed, the rise of the enemy has happened...

...

The wind gradually rose again. The snow dust was rolled up all over the ground, wrapped around the city of Hue, causing the thatched roofs of the food piles to rustle. The sky gradually became gloomy, and dark clouds gradually piled up layer by layer. The color was not the common gray-black, but a dark yellow or even a hint of blood.

The old Yelu Dabeinu guarded the city of Hue was the old Yelu Dabeinu. He was a veteran who participated in the battle to pacify Mogus and led troops on the grassland for a long time. However, he was already old and was over 70 years old this year. However, he was still entrusted by Yelu Yanxi with an important task and served as the commander of the retreat, responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army.

He hadn't been asleep for almost three days! After learning that Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Wuna led his troops south to the Ice Sea, he couldn't sleep.

Because he knew that the two men sent by Yelu Yanxi to lead the troops were not reliable.

This is a decisive battle to bet on life! At least, send a commander army who dares to take the initiative to take advantage of his gamble?

Yelu Yujiu is good, but Xiao Gan would be even better if he was there. How could he send Xiao Wuna, who was shaking his feather fan to give his ideas and Xiao Fengxian, who was actually a civil servant?

Can they both go out and fight to the death?

As a result, he really guessed that the 57,000 army was defeated in a battle, losing more than 40,000, and the national destiny of the Great Liao was also defeated by them.

How can this old man sleep when you let him?

Moreover, the Great Compassion Slave also knew that the Bohai Slaves in Hue City were no longer reliable. They were originally unreliable, but now the situation was hopeless, so how could they still rely on?

But when things came to an end, the Great Compassion Slave was a little reluctant and did not dare to order the slaughter of Bohai slaves. Because he was afraid of arousing the rebellion of the Bohai soldiers and Han army on the front line.

Moreover, Yelu Yanxi's army also needed these Bohai slaves to transport food and grass day and night!

Kill them all, who will do it?

Yelu Dabeinu looked at the sky and muttered to himself: "Is this a blizzard coming? If His Majesty's army retreated to Hue City before the blizzard, Daliao would have a glimmer of hope!"

At the same time, Gao Yongchang's brother Gao Yongfu also looked up at the weather, whispered to the men who were pushing a cart beside him and driving a big cart, saying, "It's going to be a heavy storm. This is God's help to the Bohai Sea! As long as we seize the gate of Hue, welcome the army of Taishi, and then burn the food and grass, the army of Liaogou will be wiped out."

As he spoke, he covered his face with a cloth towel to hide from the wind, walked away from his legs and feet, and walked quickly. The men behind him also pushed carts and hurriedly followed closely, and soon arrived outside the south gate of Hue City.

Hue City was originally a small city, and it could not save millions of stones of military rations and countless forages. So it was expanded before the Lushun Mansion War and built a huge wooden city. The wooden city only has two gates in the north and south, which is the main road for food and grass to enter and exit. Inside the wooden city, there are countless piles of grain and hay, which are very easy to ignite.

The south gate was closed, and fully armed Liao soldiers stood on the wooden city tower. One of the officers looked at the man who was pushing vehicles and driving mules, horses and carts under the city, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

Gao Yongfu replied in Khitan's words: "We came from Lushun and sent food and grass to His Majesty. Now we are back."

"The Grand Tutor has declared martial law in Hue City, and you Bohai people are not allowed to enter."

Gao Yongfu's tone was not displeased, "We don't enter the city, but mules, horses and carts must enter the city, right? These are all military funds... According to military law, they must be returned after use. If they are not returned on time, we will be guilty! Please, Master, please take it at the gate of the city and open a receipt for us. Please Master, good luck, let us hand in it, so that we can go back to the camp to strengthen the shack earlier, and the Bodhisattva will bless you."
