"Commander, leave quickly..." A scream woke Liu Zhiyuan from his daze. It turned out that one of his generals had his right arm chopped off by a one-eyed Northern barbarian man in order to protect himself.
The Flying Dragon Army general was also very brave. He actually used his remaining left hand to hug the one-eyed man's axe, desperately urging Liu Zhiyuan to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Dakui..." Liu Zhiyuan let out a mournful cry. He knew it was time to withdraw from the battle, otherwise this good brother would have died in vain.
"Let's go!" Liu Zhiyuan has led troops for many years and knows that the opportunity is fleeting. He quickly recovered from the grief of losing his comrades, led a group of soldiers surrounding him, turned around and killed towards the outside.
Liu Zhiyuan is a sixth-grade middle-level warrior. The group of people around him are all good players in the Feilong Army. Under the crisis, everyone took full action and quickly killed some of the northern barbarians surrounding him. But the strange thing is that they did not take the first place. Time exited the battlefield and instead rushed towards the groups of Dragon Army soldiers who were divided and surrounded.
Liu Zhiyuan and the experts around him ran rampant on the battlefield, quickly disrupting the Northern Barbarians' position and allowing several groups of surrounded Flying Dragon Army soldiers to successfully join them.
The Feilong Army soldiers who had been dispersed saw Liu Zhiyuan's flag moving around on the battlefield, and they also came closer, causing more and more Feilong Army soldiers to gather around Liu Zhiyuan.
The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Mugu, who had retreated to the rear, saw the red wave gathering more and more on the battlefield. He immediately asked the messengers to wave their flags and mobilized their men to outflank Liu Zhiyuan and his Feilong Army soldiers.
"Commander, we have to withdraw. It's too late." Next to Liu Zhiyuan, a general covered in blood grabbed Liu Zhiyuan, who was about to rush to the next battle circle, and said loudly.
"There are many brothers over there, rescue them and we will retreat!" Liu Zhiyuan pointed with his finger at a group of Feilong Army soldiers surrounded in front, turned to the general and said.
"It's too late, Commander. If you don't leave, our brothers will stay here today." The general pointed at the enemies coming here and said anxiously.
Before this, Liu Zhiyuan had been immersed in the battle and did not observe the situation on the battlefield. Now when he looked up, he realized that the Manchu encirclement was almost closing, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Brothers, I, Liu Zhiyuan, am sorry for you." As the commander, Liu Zhiyuan knew that it was time to withdraw from the battlefield. He wiped the sweat or tears on his face fiercely, turned around and went to kill outside the battlefield.
"What a pity!" On the high ground behind the Northern Barbarian army, the Northern Barbarian King Heihan Mugu said regretfully when he saw that Liu Zhiyuan had led his men out of the battle circle.
The battle on the banks of the Yingshui River ended with the complete defeat of the Daning Feilong Army. In this battle, less than 60,000 soldiers of the 230,000 soldiers, mainly the Feilong Army, successfully withdrew, while the 150,000 Northern Barbarians only lost more than 40,000 soldiers.
The defeated Feilong Army commander Liu Zhiyuan led his remaining soldiers to retreat to Yingzhou City, trying to block the Northern Barbarian army with the help of tall city walls. However, he fell into the enemy's trick of luring the enemy, and once again more than 20,000 people were killed by the northern barbarians.
Liu Zhiyuan, who suffered a tragic defeat, had no choice but to order all the food in Yingzhou City to be burned, and hurriedly led his troops to withdraw from Yingzhou Mansion, but he lost his troops in the pursuit of the northern barbarians.
The defeat of the Feilong Army led by Liu Zhiyuan caught the Daning court off guard. From Yingzhou Prefecture to Jinling, no large army could stop the Northern Barbarians.
What made Daning's court even more troubled was that Daning's neighbors also began to add insult to injury. South Vietnam suddenly raised 80,000 troops to attack the neighboring Daning Zhangzhou Prefecture. The island country in the East China Sea also wanted to take a piece of the pie. One hundred thousand Japanese soldiers landed from Taizhou, and their troops were directed towards the hinterland of Daning. In the northwest desert, although Simon has not sent out troops yet, there are signs of troop mobilization.
Seeing urgent documents being sent back to Jinling urgently, Ming Emperor Liu Gou and his ministers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
At this time, the important ministers in the court were divided into several factions. The main war faction advocated relying on Jinling and relying on the 100,000 garrison of Jinling City to defend the capital of Daning. Encirclement?
However, some conservatives believe that the northern barbarians are really powerful and defending Jinling City may lead to tragedies such as the kidnapping of the second emperor. They suggest that the capital be moved to Shuzhou in the hinterland of Daning as soon as possible.
There was even a peace-seeking faction that advocated ceding Yingzhou and Chuzhou to the Northern Barbarians and paying a certain amount of coins to the Northern Barbarians every year in exchange for the Northern Barbarians' withdrawal.
Officials holding these views were arguing endlessly in the court, but Emperor Liu Gou of the Ming Dynasty had long since lost his opinion and was unable to come up with a feasible plan, which plunged the entire Daning into panic.
The Kuangshi and Zhanhu armies among Daning's three major iron armies must now be stationed in the southeast and southwest of Daning to block the troops of South Vietnam and East Japan. The Feilong Army has been crippled and is now required almost every day. After retreating for dozens of miles, they were about to retreat to Jinling.
And the troops of King Qin that Liu Gou counted on have not been able to reach Jinling for a long time. In addition to some troops who are afraid of fighting, many places are indeed unable to mobilize manpower. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had no time to take care of themselves, banditry in various places became rampant. The local soldiers and horses were already exhausted just suppressing the bandits, and how could they send manpower to reinforce Jinling.
The Emperor of Daning was worried every day when he was here. He really didn't expect that the whole of Daning would become riddled with holes overnight. After some entanglement, Liu Gou finally made the decision to move the capital to Shu.
Shu is a huge basin, surrounded by mountains. The natural barrier can block the troops of various countries. The only drawback is that this place is too barren. Liu Gou would never want to be forced into this situation. Went to this place.
Just as Liu Gou was busy preparing to move the capital, good news suddenly came from the front, saying that the Northern Barbarians had actually withdrawn their troops.
Liu Gou was overjoyed when he heard the news, and then his doubts reappeared. The Northern Barbarian army was fighting well, why did it suddenly withdraw? After sending more troops to inquire in many places, it was finally confirmed that the more than 100,000 troops of the Northern Barbarians had indeed withdrawn from Ningtaiguan, and a large area of land occupied by the Northern Barbarians had returned to Daning's hands.
What forced the Northern Barbarians to retreat was not any regular army in Daning, but a group of bandits. These bandits were the former Flying Eagle Bandits who occupied the three counties of Heishan, Yuhe and Caoping in Yingzhou and called themselves the Fierce Eagle Army. Public.
Time goes back to the time when the Northern Barbarian army broke through Yingzhou City. The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Mugu stood at the top of Yingzhou City in high spirits. After defeating the powerful enemy of the Feilong Army, the Northern Barbarians were able to attack Jinling, the golden city of Daning, with overwhelming force. It is very likely that they will reappear. His father, Black Han Xiong Ge, captured the emperor of Daning and hundreds of civil and military officials in one fell swoop.
The Northern Barbarian army in front won several more battles, forcing Liu Zhiyuan, the leader of the Feilong Army, to retreat. However, while Liu Zhiyuan was retreating, he did something that gave Heihan Mugu an extremely headache.
Every time he took a step back, he implemented the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country. Not only did he allow all the local people to evacuate, he also took away all the food. The food that could not be taken away was simply burned.
Liu Zhiyuan's move really brought a lot of trouble to the Northern Barbarian army. The Northern Barbarians were indeed powerful, but how could they fight on an empty stomach without food?
Most of the Northern Barbarians are grasslands and deserts, and the number of fields is too small. Food shortage has always been a big problem that has troubled the Northern Barbarians. This is also the main reason why they have been thinking about invading Daning and seizing their land and materials.
This time, because the battle of the Northern Barbarians went very smoothly and the advance was very rapid, it caused great trouble for the supply of food and grass in the rear, making it impossible for the Northern Barbarians to advance quickly, and by the way, it also gave Daning some buffer time.
At this time, his subordinates made a suggestion to Heihan Mugu, which was to capture the three counties controlled by the Yingzhou Lieying Army. It is said that a lot of food and grass are currently stored in the three counties, which can greatly alleviate the army's food shortage.
More importantly, if the three counties between Yunshan Pass and Shishou Pass are captured, at least two days of travel can be saved for the teams transporting important personnel from the rear to reach the front line.
This suggestion made Heihan Mugu set his sights on the three counties of Heishan, Yuhe and Caoping under Ye Ying's rule. But before Heihan Mugu could send troops to attack the Fiery Eagle Army, the Fierce Eagle Army had already made a preemptive strike, causing great trouble to Heihan Mugu's Northern Barbarian army.
Ever since the Northern Barbarians invaded Daning, the Lieutenant Generals of the Lieying Army were very torn. They were thankful that they did not have to face the hundreds of thousands of flying dragon troops that came to encircle and suppress them, but they also hated the Northern Barbarians for brazenly invading and killing the people of Daning.
Everyone in the Fierce Eagle Army currently has two different views. One is to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the Northern Barbarians and Daning, so that the team can recharge their batteries and continue to develop and strengthen their own strength. Those who hold this view are generally old people in the army. host.
Many young generals believe that the Northern Barbarians cannot be allowed to bully the people of Daning. The Lieying Army should go out of Bingyun Mountain Pass and hit the Northern Barbarians hard from behind.
But what is strange is that these few people in the core group of the Lieying Army, from Lieutenant Commander Ye Ying and Military Advisor Zhuge Ying to the commanders of several armies, have formed a surprising consensus, that is, they have nothing to say about this matter. He didn't post it, as if he didn't even know that such a big thing was happening outside.
Just when everyone in the Fierce Eagle Army thought that the top brass would choose to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, the army suddenly convened an emergency meeting with commanders above the team level. During the meeting, Ye Ying announced that the four armies of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu under the Lieying Army would march out of Yunshan Pass at the same time, and even many civilian officials from various counties and even many common people would accompany them.
If the army doesn't move, it will stop. If it moves, it will rush out in full force. This greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone in the army, but after so many years of training, the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army have formed a habit of resolutely obeying orders from above.
Tuoguha is the grain transport officer of the Northern Barbarian army. This is a job that he has worked hard to get. Although traveling back and forth to escort grain and grass is very hard, he can get a lot of benefits from it.
It is precisely with this mentality that Tuoguha, the grain escort, worked very hard. Whether it was urging or transporting grain, he arranged it in an orderly manner, without affecting the war ahead at all, and he also made a lot of money. .
Although the northern barbarian army fighting in the front won consecutive battles, it also lost tens of thousands of troops. In order to replenish the supply of troops, the northern barbarian king Heihan Mugu not only sent people back to the northern barbarians to urgently mobilize troops, but also used all the available troops in the army. All the soldiers and horses were removed and the grain transport team, which originally had 5,000 people, was reduced to 3,000.
However, Tuoguha is not worried at all about this situation. The Northern Barbarian army is currently overwhelming. The Daning people have been beaten to the point of losing their armor. How can anyone dare to go deep into the rear of the Northern Barbarian army to snatch food and grass.
However, Toguha never expected that there would actually be a group of people who were desperate for their lives and dared to take advantage of the food and grass in his hands.
