Chapter 2991 Can't advance or retreat
With foreign enemies present, Hu Yanzhuo has no choice but to choose.
He was planning to go to Gaotang Prefecture to deal with Song Gongming in person, but now his lieutenants Han Tao and Peng Qi are on the front line.
The army that went south before was only the main force of the vanguard.
According to Gao Qiu and Tong Guan's arrangement, once the frontline attack is blocked, he will have to deploy [-] soldiers and horses at Yanmen Pass as a backup force.
But now that Bei Liao is ready to attack, it will be a matter of time before he attacks Yanmen Pass.
Let alone take away another [-] soldiers and horses, even one soldier and one horse will not be able to be dispatched.
Not long after Gongsun Sheng left, news of the North Liao attack came from the front line.
"It's really time for this military division to come!"
Hu Yanzhuo got up suddenly, glared and shouted, "The Liao people bully people too much, my Da Song treats them well, but they are so ungrateful!"
He asked the men around him to put on the armor immediately, raised the weapon and went to the front line in person.
Now that the war broke out, he couldn't go south.
And as Wu Yong said, he had to cooperate with the bandits.
He knew that by doing so, he would definitely be accused of being a bandit.
But the honor and disgrace of one person is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of people in Yanyun.
The Yanmen closed, and the two suddenly appeared on the archery tower on the city wall, facing the cold wind blowing from the grassland, looking ahead.
In front of the 500-meter-high city wall, there were millions of troops gathered on this hundreds-of-mile-long battle line.
Like a black tide, they attacked the city wall from nine directions at the same time.
Although the city wall is strong, it has a weakness, and that is the gate of the city wall.
Although the city wall is large, there are always nine openings.
The defenders of the Song Dynasty dug a moat in front of the nine openings, arranged layers of horse-blocking piles, tripping ropes, and various bunkers and fortifications, advancing more than ten kilometers forward.
Behind this city wall, there is also a second layer of Wengcheng defense line.
Without the help of monks, it would be impossible to break through the defense of the city wall.
On the archery tower of the city wall, Song Yuchan stood beside Wu Yong, frowning with him and said, "Brother, these Bei Liao people are good at riding and shooting, but not good at attacking the city. Why did they attack from the front this time?"
Historically, people from the North Liao used to bypass other places when they entered the customs.
It is the first time that they have used large-scale troops at Yanmen Pass.
This time when he came to negotiate with Hu Yanzhuo, Wu Yong came by Song Yuchan's ride.
Hu Yanzhuo is an arrogant person, unlike other young people, he can send Song Yuchan to come forward.
In order to show the solemnity of the rebel army, Wu Yong could only come forward.
Shaking the five-color bird feather fan, he analyzed with Song Yuchan, "The Liao people were not good at attacking the city before, but don't forget, they now have the magic soldiers of the witch clan to help them. It is not difficult to take this place. Today's raid should only be to clean up the perimeter. After the perimeter is wiped out, the real siege troops should launch an attack."
Song Yuchan nodded, looking at the fierce Beilao army in front of them, secretly thought that if they broke through this layer of Yanmen Gate, how many people behind them would die under their butcher's knives.
Under such a large-scale attack by the Beidao people, the front line was about to collapse at the touch of a finger.
A large number of soldiers retreated back, and were killed and wounded in an instant by the butcher's knife of the Beiliao people.
Some soldiers had their heads cut off by the scimitars of the Beilao people, some were pierced by bows and arrows, and some were trampled into blood by war horses.
The wind on the battlefield instantly became full of bloody smell.
Song Yuchan grabbed it with her little hands angrily.
Wu Yong reminded from the side, "Let's go, we still have business to do. It will take at least three days for the Beiliao people to clean up the fortifications around the perimeter."
"Let's make them cheaper first."
Song Yuchan let go of her fist, and took Wu Yong back to the camp in Gaotang Prefecture.
The military report of the North Liao's attack had already reached the front line.
Generals Han Tao and Peng Qi immediately called all the generals to the military tent to discuss the military situation.
A group of generals from other states complained one after another, and these days they were dragged by the bandits from Gaotang State.
You can't fight, you can't walk.
The key is that the food road in Cangzhou has been cut off, and the army's current meal has been reduced from two meals to one meal.
The soldiers complained, if not for the suppression of various generals, they would have mutinied and scattered.
As soon as these generals brought Han Tao and Peng Qi in, regardless of 32, they first questioned them, "General Han, General Peng, when will the military supplies arrive? You can't let the brothers fight hungry! "
"Yeah, if you don't give food anymore. Don't talk about fighting bandits, I think everyone will soon become bandits."
"Today, a team has started to rob food in Sifang villages and towns. The common people would rather see us as bandits making out."
"Anyway, there are no supplies, so we will not attack if we say anything."
"..."
All the generals complained one after another and put down their picks, making the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense.
Someone asked the two of them, "When will the commander-in-chief arrive? Doesn't it mean that he has personally escorted the food and grass to the south?"
"Yes, if the commander-in-chief came, our life would not be so sad."
The crowd said yes one after another, not paying attention to Han Tao and Peng Qi at all.
Han Tao and Peng Qi had dark faces, and waited for the generals to finish speaking before speaking to everyone, "According to the latest news from the front line, the Beiliao people have launched an attack on Yanmen Pass not long ago."
"what?"
All the generals widened their eyes and were startled.
Actually, this is not big news.
After all, all the generals had made such a judgment before, but it didn't happen, so everyone was more or less lucky.
Now hearing this news, everyone feels much more at ease,
A group of people who were very noisy just now, but now they are all quiet.
Han Tao and the generals said, "The commander-in-chief has already gone to Yanmenguan to sit in town, and it is impossible to bring supplies south. We need to discuss a way to deal with it now. Whether to go or fight, we must make a decision in advance."
The generals immediately shouted, "It goes without saying, without supplies, what are we going to fight with?"
"Yeah, instead of fighting with your own people here, it's better to go and kill the Liaoren."
"Yes, our family used to defend Yanmen Pass. Now Yanmen Pass is short of soldiers and horses. If we can't go back and let the hunters come in, then our home and land will not be completely destroyed?"
"Let's go back! The thieves are powerful, and now they have captured Cangzhou, and they are going to attack Jizhou. If we go back later, it is estimated that the Daming Mansion will be owned by thieves."
"..."
Everyone talked about it, but no one agreed to stay.
Han Tao and the others frowned and said, "The general can understand everyone's feelings, but have you ever thought that going back now means disobeying the military order and running away. At that time, not to mention keeping your own home, even your own head can't help it Make up your own mind."
Peng Qi said, "Everyone, don't forget that the Privy Envoy and Lord Taiwei are still sitting in the Daming Mansion!"
All the generals looked at each other, touched their heads and were speechless for a while.
In this rush, I forgot all about it.
There is no military report above, retreat now, according to the imperial court's law, but everyone will be executed.
