After a few days, this Jurchen army was completely desperate. There wasn't even a chance to fight, and the battle was suffocating. As a result, the Han slave army became cannon fodder. Under the supervision of the Jurchens, they attacked desperately.
The Liaodong Bureau just defended blindly, using boiling water to water the damaged brick walls and gates from time to time. Not to mention the attacking Han Nu army, even the Jurchens supervising the battle on the side had toothaches.
Even the members of the observation group who came to watch the battle in turn couldn't bear to watch. These Han slaves are so pitiful. Then even the Jurchens stopped urging the Han slaves to attack. If you work hard here, a few buckets of water will do the trick.
Next, the Jurchens stopped attacking. Just waiting to die. Their fate was doomed from the moment they came to the Dalian area. The most they can do is how much damage they can cause to the Liaodong Bureau.
At this time, the army was cut off from food and grass. Failure is only a matter of time. The Jurchens began to kill horses, starting with those transporting supplies. No one had to eat, let alone the horses. These horses have long since lost their shape.
So the Jurchens began to distribute food. The Jurchens were full and the Han slave army was half full. The Han slaves who transported supplies could barely survive starvation.
At this time, it was the turn of the people in the Liaodong Bureau to feel uncomfortable. Mine, these horses are mine. The defeat of this Jurchen army was inevitable. This horse is the most important trophy.
It should be the most important trophy belonging to the Liaodong Bureau. It's okay if you lose some weight, just maintain it and you'll be fine. But now looking at these horses, their trophies are being eaten in batches. Including the members of the viewing group, I feel so sad!
Even many senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau couldn't stand it anymore and asked for a fight. Of course, the loss in fighting at this time will not be small. As the saying goes, don't chase the poor enemy, but the current army is more than just the poor enemy. He is simply a desperate hungry wolf.
Wartime commander-in-chief Li San served as the highest wartime commander of the Liaodong Bureau. At this time, I was a little undecided. It was really distressing that the horses were slaughtered. But Li San understood better that going to war at this time was what the Jurchens were most looking forward to.
At this time, Li San remembered Li Miao's last instructions before leaving. When things are uncertain during the war, you can ask Wang Daoqi. In short, there is one principle: whatever the enemy wants to do, we will definitely not do it. Just do it the other way around, even if you make a mistake, you won't go far wrong.
Li San suddenly understood, didn't the Jurchens just want us to attack? Therefore, Li San issued an order to prepare all the mausoleums and forts to attack at any time. But after a few days, the final attack order was not issued.
A few days later, Han slaves in this Jurchen army began to starve to death. Food supplies were scarce and the weather was cold. Han slaves who were transporting supplies died. These Han slaves transporting supplies were almost starved to death.
Although this group of Han slaves numbered seven thousand, their combat power was very weak. Plus chronic hunger. They have long since lost the power to resist, and can only see despair in their eyes.
Li San originally hoped that these seven thousand Han slaves would rise up and resist. Or snatching food, which would cause a commotion. That was a good opportunity for the Liaodong Bureau to attack. But these Han slaves had long been tamed, and even if they were waiting to die in despair, they would not be able to resist.
I wonder if they take care of their families? Still completely enslaved.
Li San had no other choice but to wait. Wang Daoqi, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Bureau, learned of the battle situation on the front line. I was also worried that Li San would make unwise actions. Quickly and slowly, we arrived at the frontline mausoleum.
Wang Daoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li San did not attack. When Li San saw Wang Daoqi coming, he thought he was blaming himself for not attacking? So, I want to explain a few words. He was quickly stopped by Wang Daoqi.
"Li San, you are the supreme commander of the Liaodong Bureau's armed forces. The decision-making power on military matters rests with you. I'm just worried that if we attack rashly, we will suffer heavy losses. The gains will outweigh the losses." Wang Daoqi looked solemn.
This group of Jurchen troops has reached a dead end. The price paid for attacking now is unbearable even for the current Liaodong Bureau. As for the horses, they are very important, but are they as important as the lives of tens of thousands of Liaodong Bureau guards?
Li San was relieved now that he was recognized by Wang Daoqi. Commanders on the battlefield are not so easy to be. He looked majestic and waved his little hand. The soldiers behind him rushed forward one after another. Often a simple order is related to the life or death of thousands of compatriots.
Wang Daoqi continued, "I guess I can't wait a few days. There will be a battle between the Jurchens and the Han slave army." Li San was overjoyed at this time, and he had always thought so. Now it coincides with Wang Daoqi's idea.
The arrival of Wang Daoqi increased Li San's confidence. There is nothing more exciting than meeting a soulmate at a crucial moment. Li San originally only estimated that there might be riots by the Han slave army against the Jurchens.
Now Li San is certain that such a riot will definitely happen. And it won’t be small. Now Han slaves transporting supplies have begun to starve to death in large numbers. The Han slave army will inevitably die in grief.
Now they can still be half full, but what about in the future? And finally? Their horses were certainly eaten first. Maybe those Jurchens now wish that these Han slave soldiers would die soon. In this way, the Jurchens can still rely on their extra war horses, and maybe there is a possibility of survival.
Therefore, Li San held an impromptu meeting with the senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau present. Li San put forward his own idea. There will be riots, and they won't be small. Li San also believed that the riots would not last too long. Not to mention fighting to the death.
If the Liaodong Bureau left it alone, this riot would probably lead to the separation of the Han slave army and the Jurchen army. After all, the Liaodong Bureau is watching eagerly from the sidelines. Therefore, it is impossible for the Han slave army and the Jurchens to fight to the death.
The senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau unanimously believed that Li San's analysis was extremely likely to occur. That's how the Liaodong Bureau seizes such an opportunity. The earlier you start, the greater your gains will be. If left unchecked, the defeat of this army would be inevitable.
But their war horses will definitely be eaten almost as well. The Liaodong Bureau will also gain very little. As a result, everyone began to discuss how to seize the opportunity and strive to capture more war horses.
Next, Li San began to mobilize troops and generals. The Liaodong Bureau believed that the riot would occur at night. It must have been the Han slave army that attacked the Jurchens first. The Hannu army had an absolute advantage in numbers, so they would not choose to fight on horseback. A sneak attack is very likely.
The Han slave army took advantage of the night and did not want the Liaodong Bureau to take advantage of it. The Liaodong Bureau also concluded that riots would soon come. Because they are about to start killing the horses of the Han Nu army.
For cavalry, their horses are their legs. Moreover, soldiers and war horses have a deep relationship. There was no way the Han slave army would let the Jurchens eat their horses.
Sure enough, late at night two days later, the Han Nu army chose to attack on foot. quietly. The Jurchens are not vegetarians and have been prepared for it. In other words, a trap has been laid long ago. The Hannu army chose infantry warfare. But most of the Jurchens got on war horses.
This was a massacre, and the Hannu army began to appear in chaos. Not far from collapse. A large number of Liaodong Bureau guards came from all directions. "The Han Nu Army has merit anyway." "The Han Nu Army has merit anyway."
The Hannu army, which was about to collapse, was stunned. Emotionally, we are revolting! The Jurchens were even more desperate, and their only hope of survival was completely shattered. Originally, were you planning to bring a large number of war horses back to the Jurchen territory?
Soon a big battle ended like this. The Jurchens have lost hope and their fighting spirit. It was as if they were waiting for the guards of the Liaodong Bureau and the Han slave troops to help them solve their pain. There were not many Jurchens who really resisted.
Post-war statistics showed that the Liaodong Bureau seized more than 10,000 war horses this time. Although he has lost some weight, he can still be seen as a good horse. The Han slave army was really able to tolerate it and killed nearly 3,000 horses before they chose to take action.
It made a bunch of senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau feel distressed. After the war, there were more than 6,000 Han slaves left in the Han slave army, which was similar to the Han slaves who transported supplies. Not a single Jurchen was left. Even many of those who surrendered had their heads cut off by the guards of the Liaodong Bureau in exchange for money and merit points.
Is the head of a Jurchen worth fifty taels of silver? Not counting merit points. Prisoners are worthless. The Liaodong Bureau itself had no intention of saving their lives. It would also allow the guards of the Liaodong Bureau to see blood and increase their sworn hatred against the Jurchens.
As for the more than 12,000 Han slaves and Han slaves, it is no longer possible to return to the Jurchen territory. The only way to become an obedient citizen of the Liaodong Bureau is through transformation.
Because almost all of them still have relatives living in the Jurchen territory, their transformation is bound to have a long way to go.
