Chapter 1336 The enemy is in the summer palace four
Songshan Pavilion is not too far from the Summer Palace and is not very close. You need to walk 300 miles through the mountains and forests of the Yanshan Mountains!
However, these 300-mile mountain roads are not difficult to walk, because this area is the original core territory of the Liao Kingdom. Dading Prefecture is Zhongjing, Songshan Pavilion is a palace, and the Thousand-mile Pine Forest to the north is a royal hunting ground. Therefore, the roads along the way have been renovated and are easy to pass. Moreover, the remaining veins of Yanshan are just hills, and there is nothing that is so tall that it is difficult to pass through the ridge. That is, the Ma Mengshan Mountain, which is divided between Zhou and Dongliao, is taller, but the route from Songshan Pavilion to the Summer Palace does not require crossing Ma Mengshan Mountain, but can be detoured from the north of Ma Mengshan Mountain.
In addition, most of the road sections of these 300 miles are the territory of Dongliao. Only less than a hundred miles past Ma Mengshan is the land of Zhou.
However, the Zhou State did not develop and utilize this "hundred miles" very much. Just look at the maps of later generations. This land is a rugged hilly area, and it was even more of a large forest area in the Middle Ages. Only when you reach the Wulie River can there be some valleys.
However, the Wulie River often floods, so the value of agricultural development is not high, so it is not allocated to the knights or the soldiers. It is just a hunting ground or a forest farm.
The guards were not very strict, because the main passage from Chengde Prefecture to Dading Prefecture is on the south side of Mount Ma Meng. It was a road with wide roads and many towns along the way, which was relatively prosperous. The road to the north actually had only one use, which was for Xiao Sesse to come to the Summer Palace and Wu Hao Gu's Sei to have an ancient secret meeting...
Of course, it is not easy to be on guard too seriously, otherwise it would be more troublesome?
Therefore, the regular troops of the Republican army in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not continue to set up checkpoints on this mountain road. Only when Wu Haogu checked in the Summer Palace would he build a museum twenty miles north of the Summer Palace be built.
...
In the early morning of the first day of the August 1st year of the Great Zhou Republic, the morning glow had not yet appeared in the east, and there was still darkness between heaven and earth. There were some floating clouds in the sky and the moonlight flashed and dark, which was enough for people to see the back in front of them, and they would not fall behind after following them.
In the darkness, a huge team of more than 10,000 people was walking quietly in the valley. People held their heads, horses wrapped their hooves, bridles and chews tightly locked the neighing of war horses. As long as the sound of gurgling streams and the sound of autumn wind blowing through the woods, they were accompanied by dense and low footsteps.
Yelu Aoluwo and his "old Yelu" walked together in the night before dawn. In order to save horsepower (in Wuhaogu, Xiao Seser needed to chase after chasing), no one rode a horse and walked with his horse. The road under his feet was very flat, and you would know that you had entered the territory of the Great Zhou Republic - the basic construction of the Great Zhou is always much better than its neighbors and vassal states!
After walking with his head down for a while, Ao Luwo looked up and looked at the sky. It was still dark. It seemed that it would take two hours to see the morning glow.
Marching in the dark is of course a very risky action. However, Aoluo has no choice!
Before he sent troops from Matsuyama Pavilion, a confidant maid from Oono had already sent him the most terrifying news - Wu Haogu had already ordered the arrest of him!
Although he did not say he wanted to kill, Wu Haogu could let Ao Luwo go so far as his son could firmly take over Da Xi's territory in the future?
The most ruthless imperial family!
Father and son, brother, mother and son can kill each other, let alone Wu Haogu, the "adoptive father"?
Therefore, Ao Luwo could only burn his boats, take a gamble, and concentrate all his strength to attack the summer palace. If he wins by chance, the reign of the Great Liao Dynasty can continue, and Ao Luwo can also gain the power he has always dreamed of.
If unfortunately fails, Ao Luwo can still escape... If he can't escape, he will just die.
So for him, the reason why he sits waiting to die without gamble is not there. If that is the case, he will have no shame to meet his ancestors even if he dies!
In addition, the confidant sent by Ouoye also informed Aoluo of the situation in the summer palace.
Wu Haogu did not have many personal soldiers around him, only about one cavalry battalion, all of which were so-called fake personal soldiers and yellow-headed mercenaries. The combat power was very strong!
However, after years of construction, the Summer Palace has become large in area, and there is no solid city defense. It is difficult to cover up the 1,800 people close to it... So Yelu Aoluwu can make a fortune.
At this time, an elderly far-blocked horse rushed from the front. He recognized the place of the King of Dongliao from the shadow of the sun and moon gods raised high beside Aoluo.
After informing the name and command of the outside world, the horse was taken by the personal guards to Ao Luwo by their own guards: "King, the building is built in front of them."
The Building Pavilion is an abandoned Liao Dynasty temple, located in the north of the Summer Palace and on the Wulie River. It is the gateway to the north of the Summer Palace.
If Wu Haogu is still in the summer palace, then there must be defenses in the building hall!
Only by quickly building the museum can Aoluwo's troops successfully attack the summer palace.
"Rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour." Ao Luwo passed his orders to the army. The veterans who had worked hard for three days did not say much and sat down to rest and eat.
Ao Luwu was still standing, motionless, looking at the dark southern sky. He once again sorted out the adventure plan from beginning to end in his heart. Apart from the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the rest was to fight hard and protect our ancestors.
Although Wu Haogu did not have an emperor in founding, the guards around him were not weak at all. As long as he left his old nest, there would definitely be a personal guard of a cavalry battalion. The soldiers of this cavalry battalion were all young men bought from the grassland or the savage Jurchens. They spent more than ten years to undergo strict training and developed elites. Moreover, everyone has experienced at least ten actual combat battles and is extremely powerful!
The auxiliary soldiers of the fake son's personal army came from the yellow-headed Jurchens who were kept by the Great Zhou Dynasty. These people turned out to be hunters of Khitan nobles. They were hard-working and used to moving in the mountains and forests. They were all born good hunters.
After the Zhou Kingdom conquered the Liaodong Peninsula, the Huangtou Jurchen tribe surrendered to Wu Haogu, and was later moved to the Goryeo Province (Goryeo is the hometown of Huangtou Jurchen), and was assigned to a large mountainous area, with the power of tax exemption (Ding Tax and Tian Tax) and the obligation to provide soldiers with military service. Of course, the Yellow-headed Jurchen warriors who passed the training and assessment could receive military pay from mercenaries.
The personal army composed of these two groups is not only strong in combat, but also has high loyalty to Wu Haogu. Once Wu Haogu is in danger, they will definitely fight to the death.
If these 1800 fake soldiers and the yellow-headed Jurchen gathered together, then the 10,000 Khitan veterans of Yelu Aoluo could not beat them - their combat effectiveness was at least comparable to the Jurchen Gundam! Without a large number of firearms to use, how could the 10,000 old Khitans beat the 1800 Jurchen Gundam?
However, after years of construction, Wuhaogu's Summer Palace has become very large and covers a vast area. To the south of the building hall, north of Xinghua County (Zhengde Prefecture), and on both sides of the Wulie River, they all belong to the Summer Palace and are the private property of Wuhaogu (a real bully landlord).
Among them are three larger buildings, including the Summer Resort on the banks of the Wulie River, the Hunting Village in Niushan, and the Hot Spring Village at the foot of Niushan in the northeast of the Summer Resort, as well as some other museums scattered among the mountains and forests.
Therefore, Wu Haogu’s 1,800 personal soldiers were also distributed and deployed in a dispersed manner, and it was difficult to concentrate them all in a hurry.
At the same time, Wu Haogu's residence is not fixed. There are no less than ten villas and other villas that may be Wu Haogu's sleeping place.
If Great O'Orito was not used as the eyes and ears, Ao Luwo would have no way of knowing Wu Haogu's specific position. If his 10,000 Khitan veterans were scattered and attacked, they would be weak if they had to divide their troops.
So what Aoluo wants to see most now is the rocket signal cast by Ouo No!
Suddenly, a faint flame burst out from the distance, and then another flame... This is someone launching a signal rocket into the air (an ordinary feather arrow and a small gunpowder tank)!
"The king is a summer resort!" veteran Yelu Diligu reminded him.
"Okay! The enemy is in the summer resort!" Ao Luwu shouted, "After the rest, the whole army attacked the summer resort, and at all costs, we must cut off the heads of Xiao Sesse and Wu Haogu!"
After a while of rest, tens of thousands of Khitan veterans stood up under the leadership of Aoluwo and rushed south, heading straight to build the hall.
The troops stationed in the building museum had already discovered the raided Khitans and arranged defenses. However, their number was too small, only a few dozen people, and there were no solid fortifications to rely on. So they were soon overwhelmed by the Khitan army.
Before the battle in the building museum was over, Ao Luwu divided the brigade and personally led the detour and rushed straight to the summer resort. While advancing, he set fire to the mountains and forests!
Now it is in the dry autumn, and the mountains and forests are most likely to catch fire. When the fire is too big, even if Wu Haogu cannot be burned to death, it can create chaos and make Wu Haogu's men at a loss.
"Enjoyed father! Mother! The forests are on fire, and thieves are attacking the summer palace!"
Wu Haogu, who was rubbing Xiao Sesse, was awakened by Xiao Da'aoye who broke into the bedroom.
Okuno was already wearing a chain mail and carrying a horizontal knife, looking like a loyal guardian - she was guarding outside the bedroom as a wardrobe.
There were also several yellow-headed Jurchen maids in the bedroom, led by a servant named Tianli maid, who was guarding the master's couch with wooden sticks.
Wu Haogu woke up in shock, sat up suddenly, looked at Ouo no and asked, "Ouo no, what's going on?"
"The adoptive father, the personal army guarding the building of the museum has just arrived to report that an unidentified enemy came from the north, raided the building of the museum, and set fire to the mountains! There are many enemy troops, which are difficult to resist..."
"From the north? Could it be that the Jurchens called me?"
Empress Dowager Xiao, who was sleeping with Wu Haogu, also sat up, without even covering her clothes, naked, with a blue face, "It's not a Jurchen, it must be Yelu from Songshan Pavilion!"
