    "These Zhou people! They are talking loudly about the people's crimes, but they have not heard that Youzhou is marching northward. Instead, they have sent nearly 40,000 troops to our Liaoyang Mansion! What a bad luck!"

    On the tower of Xiandemen, Daluanhe, the commander of the Japanese navy left behind in Tokyo, spat in the direction of Zhuzhi Mountain. He was cursing, but his words were full of worries about the future.  (, Geili Literature Network

    Tianfu City in Liaoyang Prefecture, the palace city is in the northeast corner, the city wall is eight miles in circumference and three feet high, the north and east sides share the same gate with the outer city, only the south has three gates; and the outer city is also called Hancheng, with an area of ??30  , the city wall is twenty-two miles in circumference and three feet high, with a total of eight gates on all sides. The Xiande Gate is the south-west gate.

    The Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Khitan, and its homeland was divided between the Khitan, Jurchen and Goryeo tribes. The tribes were dispersed, but the main population was still taken captive by the Khitan. The same was true for the Da clan royal family. Some fled to Goryeo, some lived in Jurchen tribes in the northeast, and some  Those who were imprisoned by the Khitan also had a branch of the royal family that served the Khitan. Daluanhe and Dapengyi, who was currently stationed in the East City, were descendants of this lineage.

    Of course, serving orders means serving orders. It is impossible to say how loyal they are to the Liao Kingdom. Even if Gao Mohan becomes the left prime minister of the Central Taiwan Province of the Liao Kingdom, his loyalty is only personal. At most, it is  It belongs to the family and does not represent the Bohai people of the Gao family.

    It's just that no matter how loyal Da Luanhe is to the Liao Kingdom, he still cares about his military position. Now facing the invasion of the Zhou people, especially when the largest city in Tokyo Road encountered the Zhou army approaching the city, he led  The headquarters is responsible for the defense of Nancheng.  When thinking about the problem, it was natural to regard Zhou Jun as an enemy.

    Yeluheli who stayed behind might be very concerned about whether the Zhou army marched on Beijing in a large scale, but Daluanhe would not care about it. If he really cared about it, he would also care about it. If the Zhou army focused its attack on the Zhou army outside the city of nanyang in Shangjing,  Can it be reduced?  Is evacuation even possible?

    It doesn't matter how Zhou and Liao fight, as long as the whirlpool of war does not drag his troops into it. But what makes Dayuanhe feel unlucky now is that not only did the Zhou army come outside Liaoyang City, but they also came in large numbers.  Shangjing and Nanjing have not yet heard of the threat from the Zhou army, and most of their own people will be involved in this war.

    "Yes, Tokyo Road and Zhou State are separated by Nanjing Road or the sea. God knows why these Zhou troops didn't go to Nanjing and Shangjing. Instead, they gathered in Liaoyang Prefecture." Xiao Xiaoli, who followed Daluanhe,  Xunda responded sympathetically, "The first ten thousand people who camped outside the East City were pretty good. They just hid and built siege equipment and did not rush over to attack the city rashly. Of course, ten thousand people can't break it."  Tianfu City was guarded by thousands of people, but twenty to thirty thousand soldiers and horses suddenly came from the southwest, and they were almost filling the foot of the northern mountain of Zhuzhi Mountain. The sons and daughters are about to suffer just before their eyes."

    Although the Khitan people used a large number of subordinate tribes to join the army, took advantage of the different specialties of these tribes, and basically formed their own armies, they were not completely guarded against the alienation of various tribes.  The Xi tribe is the closest to the Eight Tribes of Khitan.  Then King Xi Wangzhang also had to follow the actions of Lord Liao's Oruduo, and the Wangzhang army acted as bodyguards.  However, the Xi tribe¡¯s pasture is interspersed with the pastures of the Eight Tribes of Khitan and the Touxia Military Prefecture. When the Xi tribe gathers tribal armies to join the war, Lord N will send his close ministers to serve as military leaders or supervisors. As for the preventive measures for other tribes,  Naturally, it is even stricter than Xi Bu.

    For example, the Bohai and Han'er, because they have the expertise in farming and attacking and defending cities, are much worse than the Khitan and other grassland tribes in the cavalry. It is obviously not suitable to be combined with other tribes, and it is not suitable to be mixed.  In line with the tradition of the Liao Kingdom, the two armies formed separate armies. However, the Khitan people were also the most suspicious of these two armies, so they placed Han'er General in the Bohai Navy and Bohai General in the Haner Army.  It¡¯s normal.

    Li Xun of this small school is naturally a Han'er. Counting it, it is the Khitan people's move to add sand to the Bohai navy left behind in Tokyo. However, most Bohai people can speak Chinese, and the living customs of the two sides are relatively close. Originally, it was  As Li Xun, who supervises the Bohe Division for the Khitan master, he has been following Daluanhe for a long time, and in the end he really has almost the same heart as Daluanhe.

    Hearing what Li Xun said, Daluanhe's eyebrows had long been twisted into two tangled grass: "Well the two groups of Zhou armies together had nearly 40,000 troops. It is said that more than 10,000 people were besieged.  The guarded Tianfu City is not enough, but Zhou Jun's combat power is well-known. The house quality king of the year could not withstand a two-on-one field battle. And with the legendary sharp firearms to help, this city is really hard to say.  How long can we hold on"

    "How long we can defend is actually a trivial matter. I'm afraid that the general's headquarters will be blocked by the commander who stays behind. After a short period of defense, all the men will be killed or injured"

    Li Xun¡¯s words were spoken in a very low voice, basically just muttered. People who were farther away could not hear them at all.?Da Luanhe and his entourage's confidants naturally heard it clearly.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "You said that another 20,000 to 30,000 Zhou troops have come from the west? They are now camping at Zhishan Mountain. It is very likely that they will attack Tianfu City with the enemy troops here?"

    On the tower of Shaoyang Gate in the southeast, Dapeng Yi, commander of the Bohai Navy of the Tokyo Remaining Division, was also paying attention to the latest changes in the military situation. The Khitan Army was stationed in the palace, and the Bohai Navy and the Han'er Army were naturally responsible for defending the outer city.  of.

    "Yes, this matter has been confirmed by Yuanlanzi, and from the Xiande Gate Tower, you can directly see the Zhou Army Camp at the foot of Zhishan Mountain, which is much larger than the Zhou Army Camp on the south bank of the Dongliang River here."

    The person who reported the military situation to Dapengyi was the junior high school commander Ma Yun. These days, the Zhou army was working hard to build siege equipment outside the city. Although the opponent did not launch an attack, Dapengyi, who was responsible for the defense of the east city, still felt quite nervous, so he sent troops from time to time.  When people went to the Left-behind Department, the General Army Department and the Four Gates to investigate, Ma Yun ran over from the Xiande Gate to report to him.

    "Another twenty or thirty thousand people are here!" Dapeng Yi's face darkened in an instant. He looked up at the Zhou army's camp by the river in the distance, "It turns out that the more than ten thousand people here are not here for a surprise attack. They arrived like this."  Morning, actually it is to force our army to stay in Tianfu City, so that we dare not evacuate women and children in front of the enemy. The real siege will not start until today's Zhou army arrives"

    Dapengyi had heard about the possible response to the Zhou army's offensive on the Xijing Road through his acquaintances in the court. He wholeheartedly agreed with the basic policy of avoiding war at the beginning of the war set by the Liao monarchs -  What a good thing it would be not to fight for casualties with the Zhou army, and not to exchange the lives of our subordinates for Zhou army's firearms

    Unfortunately, the left-behind forces did not seem to think so, and no one in the Liaoyang Mansion thought that the Zhou army would immediately attack Tokyo Road. As a result, they were completely unprepared for the Zhou army's in-depth advance in the direction of Goryeo, and there was no time to organize the left-behind division and unite the army.  The families of the generals and soldiers were evacuated, not to mention the other people in the city. They were suddenly frightened by the tens of thousands of Zhou troops coming from the southeast and were blocked in Tianfu City.

    The more than 10,000 soldiers and horses inside the city faced the more than 10,000 Zhou troops outside the city, and they did not even dare to leave the city to challenge!  Of course, Dapengyi also believed that such caution was necessary. The combat effectiveness of the Zhou army and the firearms used by the Zhou army had long been rumored to be amazing. He was not willing to let the sons of his tribe test the enemy's front and hide behind the city wall.  It's somewhat reassuring.

    As for whether more than 10,000 enemy troops can break through Tianfu City, Dapengyi is not very good. No matter how poor the combat effectiveness of Tokyo Road's army is, no matter how inferior its field combat ability is to the Khitan's Pishi Army and Tribal Army, the senior high school guarding the city  It¡¯s not difficult to conquer the Xiongcheng City. Maybe we can drag it to Shangjing to decide the outcome. After that, everyone can decide their actions based on the outcome of the battle in Shangjing.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that the subsequent siege troops of Zhou Army would come so soon. This was really a bad thing.

    Ma Yun was stunned when he heard Dapengyi's analysis, and quickly asked in a low voice: "So this is what the Zhou people planned? Or the capital school is more knowledgeable about soldiers, and they guessed the enemy's thoughts at once, which is better than staying behind.  !¡±

    "So what if you guessed it?" Dapeng Yi smiled bitterly and twitched the corner of his mouth, "In this situation, if Shangjing doesn't send reinforcements as soon as possible, no one can hold it for long. The gap in actual combat power lies here.  , there is no room for maneuver, Zhou people do not need to use any more tricks, no matter how I see through it, it will be in vain"

    "Is Tianfu City almost undefendable? This battle hasn't really started yet"

    Ma Yun didn't say these words, he just lowered his head and thought about it. He didn't know what escape route he was thinking about.  After serving in the army for so many years, he was quite convinced of Dapeng Yidu School's use of troops. Now the people he believed in were timid before fighting and had "seen" the prospect of failure early. Ma Yun was shocked.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Have the entire camp arrived? Have the generals personally visited the military camp in Zhishan?" In the main tent of the military camp on the bank of the Dongliang River, Bai Tingjie, the commander of the Liaohe camp and the commander of the Gaoli camp, said after asking, he immediately said haha  Laughing, "Haha, that's great! Let's let the Hulu in the city have another free day. After the Fubo Brigade and the bodyguards who came from Liaoshui have rested, everyone will attack Liaoyang City under the leadership of the Marshal.  !¡±

    "The Marshal brought a total of more than 20,000 people, including nearly 40,000 here. The total number of soldiers and civilians in Liaoyang City is less than 40,000. Most of them are ordinary people who cannot bear to go into battle. Most of the Bohai Navy and Han'er Army  I am also very depressed, and I estimate that the forceful attack will take more than ten days to achieve success."

    This is the voice of Wang Wenbao, the governor of Korea.

    Xu Nianba, the deputy envoy of Xishanggemen and the inspection envoy of Goryeo, said calmly: "The military strength is second to none. Our army came from Goryeo through the mountains and forests, and could only bring firecrackers and military rations.The commander went all the way up the Liao River, but most of the boats could carry cannons, as well as gunpowder and thunderbolts. The city would be destroyed!  "(To be continued
