The first thousand and eighty-four chapters prepare for war(1/2)

Military newspapers came from the northeastern border, and an accident occurred at the border, an accident that no one could have expected.

After hearing the news, Li Chi's mood became particularly heavy.

The border of Yanzhou is built in a canyon, and the cliffs on both sides are difficult to climb, so this majestic pass has always been a solid fortress that blocks the Bohai people.

But just half a month ago, perhaps because it had been snowing for many consecutive days, the cliff on one side of the mountain actually collapsed.

It is difficult to determine whether it is snow-pressed or for some other reason. After the landslide, the huge rocks fell, followed by an avalanche.

The snow is covered here all year round, and the snow is backlogged year by year may be caused by the landslide.

Rocks were flying down and covered with heavy snow. The Bohai Army in the canyon suffered heavy losses, and at least tens of thousands of people were buried in avalanches and died.

A huge rock that fell collapsed the mountain pass, and the avalanche buried the mountain pass again.

Although the main location of the avalanche is located on the Bohai people, the losses of the defenders in Shanguan are far less than those of the Bohai people.

But after the collapse of Shanguan City Wall, heavy snow fell down, forming a ramp that could directly rush up the city wall.

The Bohai people didn't even do anything to rescue their comrades. They launched an attack shortly after the avalanche. This kind of cruelty was also shocking.

Under the personal supervision of the battle of Bohai King Shi Zaixun, the crazy Bohai people had already broken through the border and entered Yanzhou.

Shi Zaixun claimed that this was a sign of destruction of the Central Plains and that the gods were protecting the Bohai Kingdom.

The people of Bohai believed in this, so their morale suddenly became popular.

The first one to arrive at the border was Xu Ji, the governor of Jizhou, who brought enough troops, but once the mountain pass was broken, the canyon on the Ning army was narrower and the troops could not be expanded.

This led to the Bohai people's attack at all costs to achieve results, and they forced the Ning army out of the canyon by accumulating human lives.

Shen Shanhu patrols and deploys defenses on the coastal line. After receiving the news, he has led his army to rush over. It should have not arrived yet.

Once the mountain pass is broken, those people from Bohai like hungry wolf will surge in.

Behind the army were the hungry people who were about to starve to death. They all felt that the Central Plains were prosperous and food was everywhere.

So when these people flock in, it was like a locust plague. Wherever they passed, they could really be said to be a barren grass.

"Send the order to rectify the army and rush to support it tomorrow morning."

Li Chi looked at Yu Jiuling.

Yu Jiuling quickly turned around and ran out to pass the order.

Dan Tai, who led his army back with Li Chi, said: "I will take the cavalry here first. If you can, you will be faster."

Li Chi nodded and told Dan Tai to be careful.

Dan Tai immediately went out. Although the number of cavalry was not large, the team that rushed over at this time, even if only a few thousand people reached, could be helping to change the situation.

"This time it's not easy to deal with."

Li Chi looked at Gao Xining and said seriously: "You and the Tingwei Army stayed in Mengyuangu, and the three old men could not go with the army."

Gao Xining said: "I'll go with you, I'll leave a team to protect them."

Li Chi shook his head: "In the past, the border of Yanzhou was also breached, but it was able to be killed again all the time. This time it was different. Because the border wall collapsed and snow formed a ramp, the reinforcements of the Bohai people could always be transported here. It would be difficult for us to press the Bohai people back."

He patted Gao Xining's shoulder lightly: "Wait for my news, if the situation is not good, you will take the Tingwei Army to retreat to Longtou Pass first."

Gao Xining wanted to say something else, Li Chi said: "You must be obedient, and you will be down-to-earth, so that I can be down-to-earth."

Gao Xining had no choice but to nod: "Then don't worry, I will take good care of everyone."

Li Chi responded and then quickly walked out.

"Liuge."

Li Chi ordered as he walked: "Dan Tai leads the cavalry first, you are responsible for the back team's supplies."

Liu Ge quickly agreed, it seemed that King Ning was going to command the army himself.

At the same time, the Bohai Kingdom.

Bohai King Shi Zaixun already knew that Kuo Kedi Wu Yanliang and others had been defeated and returned to Bohai. After breaking the city, he immediately sent someone back to tell Wu Yanliang that he would transport troops as soon as possible and land on the coastal line to respond.

Shortly after Li Chi got the news, Kuo Kedi also got the news, so he immediately ordered the Sanren and the fleet set sail again.

With such a climate, the San people are actually unwilling to go to sea, and the sea will not be peaceful at this time of year.

However, the pure border repulsion explained the dangers at sea for a long time, but the vastness in the north was speechless and could not understand it at all, and I didn't want to listen at all.

The Black Martial Empire in the inland did not understand the dangers in the sea at all. He only thought that it was pure border repulsion and was afraid of being beaten by the people of the Central Plains.

In desperation, Chunbian Qili had no choice but to agree, but he was uneasy.

If you don’t have awe of the sea, the sea will definitely make people understand what the price will be paid without awe.

Just like many years ago, the Mongol Empire, which was at its peak, swept the world, the Central Plains, the Black Martial Arts, and the Western Regions, all of them were in their pockets.

At that time, the Khan of the Meng Empire heard that there were immortal islands overseas, living in gods and immortals, and understanding the art of immortality.

So he dispatched a large army to conquer Sang Kingdom, but because he had no idea about the sea, the troops sent out twice encountered great storms and waves halfway, and almost all the troops were wiped out during both times.

Since then, the Meng Empire has never had the idea of ​​conquering the Sang Kingdom again.

In fact, as long as the commander of Mongolia was in charge of the war, he would not have any problems before the date of his war, or to postpone it one month later.

If the Mong Empire had successfully conquered Sang Kingdom at that time, Sang Kingdom at this moment should have lived a worse life than a slave.

Although Pure Border Repulse agreed, he did not dare to bet on everything. He persuaded Kuo to do nothing on the grounds that the crew needed to be revolved and rested and the sea ship needed to be revolved and maintained, and divided the fleet into two groups and rotated out of the sea.

It is so strange that he said to the rich and silent geek that the sea was dangerous, and silent geek did not believe him.

He said that the ship needs maintenance, and he believed it without words, because he felt that the ship was stable or not is more important than anything else.

A few days later, half of the warships of the Sangren Navy, loaded with 50,000 Bohai people, drove towards the Yanzhou coast.

Mangyuan Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is the Ning army's camp, where they blocked the Bohai people's team. The two sides had been fighting fiercely for more than twenty days.

The Ning army's troops were only one-fifth of that of the Bohai people, but with the help of the terrain and the huge advantages in equipment and combat power, it was difficult for the Bohai people to go further.

That's why Shi Zaixun was so eager for the Sang people's navy to play a role, bypassing the Ning army's defense line, landing in Yanzhou, and then attacking inside and outside to defeat the Ning army.

This is the advantage of having a sea boat. Since there is, you must fully utilize this advantage.

While standing on the high slope with Shen Shanhu, Dan Tai, and the other three, observing the enemy situation, Xu Ji looked back and saw another team of red battle flags coming behind him, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Reinforcements are constantly coming, which is why he can also make every soldier fighting on the front line feel at ease.

During the Chu period, most border troops fought alone and were gone forever.

When the team entered the camp, he realized that it was King Ning who had arrived. Everyone hurried down the mountain to greet him.

Before we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw that King Ning had already brought his people up the mountain.

On one side of this battlefield is Mangyuan Mountain. Fortunately, there is this mountain, and the Ning army occupies a high place and can suppress the offensive of the Bohai people.

Li Chi waved his hand and told them not to salute, and pointed to the top, and everyone then followed him back.

"We are already building a Muzhai, but the construction has not been completed yet. It is cold and it is really difficult to drive piles, so the speed of building wooden walls is not fast."

Xu Ji followed Li Chi while reporting.

Li Chi stopped and looked back at Xu Ji: "Send someone to collect hay, pile up hay into a wall, and splash it with water."

When Xu Ji heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself that such a simple method had been neglected.

The climate on Mangyuan Mountain can quickly freeze a wall, which is much faster than building a wooden wall.

"Tell us about our losses and casualties."

Li Chi continued to walk up the mountain.

Xu Ji said: "Originally, there were 12,000 border guards, all of which were veterans of the Baishan Army. They were later subdued by General Shen and stayed here. This time, the Bohai people's offensive was too fierce, and our border troops suffered a lot of losses. In addition, there were 12,000 people. Now there are only less than 4,000 people left, but the Bohai people they killed were at least 30,000 to 40,000."

Li Chi said: "Swap the border brothers and rest."

Xu Ji said: "It has been replaced, let them be responsible for the protection of the supplies in the rear camp."

Li Chi nodded: "Tell me about the enemy."

Xu Ji said: "Bohai King Shi Zai-xun personally led the army, and the frontal forces have exceeded 700,000. Although they have lost tens of thousands of people, the subsequent troops have been coming up and cannot be blocked in the canyon for a while, and their people will continue to reinforce here."

Speaking of this, Xu Ji said with some concern: "We don't have that much disadvantage in our military strength now, but the consumption of weapons and equipment is very fast, especially bows and arrows and javelins. The Bohai people charge fiercely and are not afraid of death."

"And their weapons are scarce, and they don't even have a long sword in hand, so after every attack, they will drag the bodies back as much as possible to get our arrows and javelins."

Li Chi frowned and pondered for a while, then turned his head and looked around.

After watching this vast piece of silver, my eyes were a little uncomfortable.

"Do they have a lot of leather armor?"

Li Chiwen.

Xu Ji shook his head: "There is no leather armor. Most soldiers' cotton coats are not thick, but the climate in the Bohai Sea has always been like this, and they are more adaptable than us."

Li Chi turned around and went down the mountain: "Go with me to try it out. Can you use the power of heaven and earth to replenish our weapons."

He went to the foot of the mountain: "Go and cook a pot of water."
