Qiming 1158

Chapter 381 Are all these traps set against me?

This captured logistics team was basically a Han Chinese signing army, and the food officer leading the troops was also a Han Chinese.

When he saw Su Yonglin's banner and Su Yonglin's cavalry, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"General spare your life! General spare your life! We are not soldiers, we are just signing troops! Signing troops! No wars!"

"Don't worry, of course I won't kill you. We are the Han people's liberation army. We don't kill Han people, only Jurchens."

Su Yonglin and Yan Yue patted the grain official on the shoulder, then asked with a smile, "We just came from Baoding, are you going to send it to Wen'an?"

The grain officer was shocked, and then his face was full of fear.

"Yes……"

"Do you want to go to the big city?"

"also go……"

"Then I will arrange a group of brothers to transport food to Wen'an with you. They won't be discovered, will they?"

Seeing Su Yonglin's Heshan's face, the grain officer swallowed.

"Absolutely not."

"That's good."

Su Yonglin nodded, and then took the grain transport team to speed them up, rushed to Wen'an County, arrived at the north of the county, replaced most of the escort team with his own people, and went to cheat the city gate.

The grain officer was quite cooperative. He slowly entered Wen'an County with the grain transport team, and then there was a slaughter. The city gate was taken down. Crash quickly.

This is how the county town was lost and regained.

But Su Yonglin didn't defend either. After completely wiping out the defenders, Su Yonglin continued to lead the grain transport team to Dacheng under the guise of a grain transport team.

At the same time, Yelu Yuanyi was using his own calculus to send someone to Hejian Mansion to search for information and explore the military setup of the Liberation Army.

Then he learned that the Hejian Mansion area also seemed to have completed the fortification of the wall and cleared the fields, and then he went deeper and found the military facilities of the Restoration Army.

The Restoration Army did fortify in Hejian Mansion, but it seemed to be maintained in the Hejian City area, leaving Hejian City to the east and Dacheng County to the west, a long distance became a no-man’s land.

Of course, the population density of the Jin Kingdom is not high these days. Hebei, as a traditional Han land, was severely poisoned by the flooding of the Yellow River, and its production status also plummeted. The population is far less dense than before the collapse of Hebei.

Yelu Yuanyi also heard that when the Song Dynasty still ruled Hebei, Hebei was still a very rich agricultural area, but it was later destroyed by their own tossing.

Even so, the hundred-legged worm is dead but not stiff, the broken ship still has [-] nails, and even if Hebei collapses, it is too much to say that such a large area is a no-man’s land.

The only explanation is that Jianbi Qingye was also completed in Hejian Mansion.

This is interesting. The execution ability of this group of Han thieves is very strong. The first few counties have been cleared away, and the Hejian Mansion has also been cleared away?
If this is a fight, the main force of the Jin army is not afraid to catch Hejian City and attack.

However, Hejian City was originally an important town, a big city. It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty to be particularly tall, wide and deep. When it came to the Jin Kingdom, its status was not reduced, and it was still an important town.

Falling into the hands of the rebels, for military purposes, the city's defenses must also be strengthened, and the city wall may be heightened and thickened to what extent.

As an important town in Hebei, Hejian City has important military and political significance. It is a city that cannot be bypassed or ignored in a state of war, and must be captured.

I don't know how many lives I have to pay to win this fight.

Yelu Yuanyi secretly speculated that Wanyanliang would have to face bloodshed under Hejian City.

I'm afraid it's not going to be a good fight.

The war has not yet begun, and Yelu Yuanyi already feels that this battle is not easy to fight from a military point of view.

If this battle is fought, first of all, the logistics requirements are particularly high, and then the rest.

Then, on October [-], he got the latest news about the defense of the Restoration Army near Hejian City, and learned that all his guesses were not unfounded.

"According to the general's request, the subordinates investigated the situation of Hejian City. The Hejian City wall has indeed been raised, and the moat has been widened. There were originally two Wengcheng, but now there are four.

You can see a lot of equipment at the head of the city, there are many flags on the city, and there are many soldiers coming and going, and the number of Hejian City is very powerful from a distance. "

The spy told Yelu Yuanyi exactly what he saw.

"That's not good."

Yelu Yuanyi frowned: "These rebels know how to defend the city, if Hejian City is really strong, even if the siege force is ten times stronger than his defending force, they will fight hard, as long as there is enough food inside. , This battle, at least three months."

Yelu Yuanyi's subordinates looked at each other, but did not speak.

Of course they don't want to fight this battle, they are all forced and helpless.

Although they have captured the two county towns without a single shot, they have no sense of victory at all, and are rather worried.

After Yelu Yuanyi judged the situation on the front line, they became more worried.

They don't want to be assigned the task of siege.

Although it is said that the highest level of military merit in the army is called [Xian Deng], if you win a first Deng military merit, the main soldier will become an officer, and the officer will become a general officer.

But the reason why it has such a high gold content and so rich rewards is that the difficulty of sieging a city is far greater than that of a field battle.

An unknown number of corpses lie behind a Xian Deng military merit, and the Xian Deng piled up with human life has never been the military merit that normal people in the army desire.

They would rather fight against the Restoration Army on the field of battle than be beaten to death under the city.

But of course it's not something they can decide.

Yelu Xian, Yelu Yuanyi's trusted subordinate, thought for a while and said, "General, do we need to report this matter to the imperial court so that the imperial court can make preparations and prepare more trebuchets or something?"

"The notice is of course to be notified, but I don't want to attack the city here. I will give you a hundred trebuchets and let you attack Hejian. Would you like to?"

Yelu Yuanyi looked at his subordinates.

My subordinates, look at me, I look at you, even shaking their heads, expressing that they don't want to touch the bad luck of this city.

Whoever really wants to be appointed to attack such a city must burn incense and pray that God will treat him better, otherwise he will not get any credit if he loses his troops, let alone the emperor.

Yelu Yuanyi nodded and began to think about ways to escape.

But before he could think of anything, someone suddenly came to report that a band of thieves dressed as a golden army pretended to be a grain and glutinous transport team to snatch the north city gate, and the city gate defenders were fighting fiercely with it.

This can make Yelu Yuanyi scared to death.

"North of the city? What's going on? Why did the bandit army come from the north? Isn't there no bandit army in the north?!"

Yelu Yuanyi shouted hysterically.

But no one could answer this question because everyone was in a panic.

However, Huanhai has been ups and downs for so many years, and it is not that Yelu Yuanyi has encountered big waves and small waves. He hastily took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

As he sent emergency support to the city gate, he walked around thinking about what happened and what he should do.

Then, a terrible idea quickly took shape in his mind.

The bandit army came from the north, pretending to be the golden soldiers, pretending to be the grain transportation team of the golden army...

To the north, the grain mill.

Will my food supply be cut off? !
Wen'an County will not have an accident, right?
broken!

Yelu Yuanyi was shocked - the thieves cut off my food route from the north and cut off my retreat. If another army from the south attacked from the north and south, wouldn't I be dead?
And I have already attacked Dacheng County. They did not retreat to Hejian, but attacked instead?
Then what are they doing everywhere to keep the walls clear?
Isn't it just to gain strategic depth and offset the cavalry advantage of the main force of the army?

Is not it?

They're just trying to confuse me and make me think they're going to back off?

Is this all a trap set against me?

Finished!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Yelu Yuanyi swallowed, his heart beating wildly.

Some of his subordinates immediately asked him what to do next, whether to stay in the city and wait for reinforcements or to retreat quickly.

Yelu Yuanyi thought nervously for a while and made a decision.

"After leaving one army, the rest will retreat quickly! The entire army retreats quickly! If we don't retreat, the bandit army will be surrounded, and none of us will be able to go back!"
