Chapter 1120 Blocking outside the city (1) (2)
Chapter 1120 Blocking Outside the City (Part 1)(2)
This includes the defenders of each city. The total number of the White Horse Army is probably at most 150,000. After all, the White Horse Army suffered a bloody battle with the Western Xia and Song dynasties before, and the White Horse Army suffered a great loss.
During this battle, the troops that could be seen in Shu were no less than 200,000.
Of course, this will put a lot of pressure on Yue Peng's Zhenxi Military Region. Although, in terms of combat effectiveness, the 50,000 imperial guards will not be weaker than the 200,000 White Horse Army.
There are always unexpected things in wars. Throughout history, there are countless examples of weak defeating strong.
Du Hu, Liu Zijun, Xiao Yulin and others gathered in the hall to discuss the policy of responding, and no one dared to take it lightly.
After all, no one knows what method the Xinsong army will use to attack Dazhou City. Even whether it will attack Dazhou City is still unknown.
However, Yue Peng had strict orders first. When Chongqing Prefecture did not take the initiative, the three armies of Dazhou were not allowed to act rashly.
One night passed.
It represents the end of March.
Chongqing Prefecture, Kuizhou Road.
As soon as the genius was dawn, the imperial guards left the city. A total of 1,000 people were the Eighth Regiment under Zheng Yihangtian’s army.
The regiment commander Wei Feiying never forgot to mention it during the march, "Brothers, although we are escorting the people of Bishan County to leave this time, remember not to harm the people!"
Their mission is to go to Bishan County to take the people in the county who are unwilling to leave to Chongqing City.
The soldiers in the regiment agreed.
The army advanced at full speed and arrived at Bishan County just after noon.
Many people in Bishan County have already gone to Chongqing Prefecture or other places to take refuge, and it seems a little deserted at this time.
The Song Dynasty flag is erected on the low mud city wall.
After crossing the city wall, you can see that Bishan County still looks a bit desolate.
The Kuizhou Road was not long since it returned to the Song Dynasty, and this Bishan County was located in an extremely remote area. Although Zhao Dongting had many new policies targeting the people's livelihood in Kuizhou, it was obviously not possible to achieve immediate results in this Bishan County.
After Wei Feiying brought the soldiers to the city gate, he showed off his token and led his army directly into the city.
When he arrived in the city, a soldier shouted: "According to the order of the magistrate, please go to Chongqing to avoid the war. Please make sure you prepare quickly!"
Hundreds of soldiers ran towards the city.
Wei Feiying took the remaining people and went straight to the government office in the surprise of the people of Bishan County.
In addition to this county town, there are more than ten villages in Bishan County. He is not familiar with it. If he wants to take those villagers to Chongqing, he must ask the Magistrate of Bishan County to send someone to.
When he learned that Wei Feiying had arrived, the county magistrate of Bishan County, Kuang Xuyao, quickly rushed to the front of the government office to greet him.
Kuang Xuyao was about fifty years old, and at this age, there was probably no possibility of promotion. An official of his rank would have to retreat to the second line if he was over fifty.
This is a decision made by Zhao Dongting after considering the average life expectancy in this era.
"General!"
At the entrance of the government office, Kuang Xuyao handed over to Wei Feiying. But by looking at the badge worn on Wei Feiying's armor, you can tell that Wei Feiying is a regiment-level general.
Now there are only military regions, group armies, regiments, and battalions among the Song Dynasty. Wei Feiying naturally surpasses the lower-level county magistrates.
"Mr. Kuang County."
Wei Feiying also returned the gift to Kuang Xuyao, turned over and dismounted and said directly: "We are the commander of the Eighth Regiment of the Tianmeng Army. We are here in Bishan to take all the people to Chongqing."
Kuang Xuyao was slightly stunned, "Dare you ask what Captain Wei meant?"
Wei Feiying said: "It is urgent to start a war with the New Song army. Marshal Yue intends to station in Chongqing Prefecture and is unable to send troops to defend Bishan County. However, he cannot bear to have the people in the county slaughtered by the New Song soldiers, so he specially sent his generals to come. This time, our army commander Zheng has a strict order, even if he is escorted, he will take the stranded people in the county to Chongqing Prefecture. County Magistrate Kuang, you have to worry about your co-operation with the commander of the city's guards."
"Operation?"
Kuang Xuyao's face changed slightly, "Will this make the people feel dissatisfied with the court?"
Wei Feiying said indifferently: "It is better to be dissatisfied than to be slaughtered by the New Song army. After Bishan County is occupied by the New Song army, they will naturally know how to be grateful to the court."
But Kuang Xuyao pondered over.
After dozens of seconds, he suddenly sighed, "To be honest, Captain Wei, in fact, Xiaguan had tried his best to persuade the people before you arrived. But the people who were still in the city were willing to live and die with Bishan County, and even... Some people were so annoyed by our persuasion that they put their swords on their necks... Xiaguan was really..."
Wei Feiying couldn't help frowning.
He never thought that the people in Bishan County would be so stubborn.
If many people die due to forced escort, he will not be able to bear the blame.
After gritting his teeth, Wei Feiying said, "Since that's the case, you can take away what you can't take away. If you can't take it away, let them stay in Bishan County."
He doesn't care about that much at this moment.
They have made the greatest efforts for the people of Bishan County. Those who are unwilling to leave will die at the hands of the soldiers of Xinsong in the future, and they will not blame them.
Soon, the defenders and minor officials in Bishan County were summoned and rushed around the city.
However, Bishan County is small, and there are only a few thousand people in the city. These defenders and minor officials are actually only a few hundred people.
Wei Feiying asked his soldiers to follow these defenders and minor officials to persuade the people in the city, but he followed Wei Feiying to sit in the government office.
Bishan County is almost in chaos.
The wilderness in Yongzhou, Guangnan West Road.
After the rest of the night, the Li army of Yue was already on the way.
Chen Guojun no longer divided his troops into two groups, nor did he stayed at Guwanzhai, leading more than 40,000 soldiers straight to Yongzhou City.
Guwanzhai is only a few dozen miles away from Yongzhou City and has been blown to pieces. Obviously, there is no need to waste any troops stationed.
Zhu Haiwang and others led the garrison troops to retreat north. At this time, there were only about twenty miles left from Yongzhou City.
If there is no fire or rice in the army, it will all use dry food to satisfy hunger.
At this moment, nearly a thousand people were scattered in the wilderness. The yellow or green weeds could reach half of the waist of a person.
Mao Xingyan, Fan Pengyun, Zhu Mingyan and others surrounded Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong.
If you retreat again, you will be Yongzhou City.
But now there is no news that Liu Anfu led his army to Yongzhou City.
Therefore, they cannot continue to retreat.
But how to hinder the pace of the Yue Li Dynasty army is another difficult problem.
Zhu Mingyan proposed to use surprise attacks and harassment tactics, but Zhu Haiwang and others were a little hesitant about this. Yesterday, the army of the Li Dynasty of Yue was attacked by Zhu Mingyan, and they would definitely be prepared for it today.
