The headquarters of the Zhuozhou Central Army was next to the government yamen, and you could hear the wails and moans from the yamen day and night.
There are no antibiotics in this era. After the trunk is injured and infected, the wounded soldiers can only wait slowly to die, and the limbs are infected and can only be sawed off. This is very cruel.
The location of the Central Army was chosen, and at that time, he took into account the image of the Zhou army and did not disturb the people. Seeing that the place in front of the government was very spacious, he set up a barrier to station it; it was actually very noisy.
Guo Shao sat in the big tent, listening to the sad and mourning sounds coming from time to time, and listening to the generals discussing below... Xiao Siwen's troops had already arrived in Zhuozhou.
...Guo Shao was a little distracted, and for some reason he suddenly remembered the Queen Fu family as if he was in tune with each other: The Queen's eyes and ears are very powerful, he has seen it; he was ordered to station in Zhuozhou, so the Queen should know?
She must be very worried.
Even though Guo Shao had never experienced the power struggle at all, the queen told him that he must return to Beijing and could probably understand her layout.
When Emperor Chai Rong dies, if the army that supports the queen is in a foreign town, 20,000 people will be nothing. Any town in any place can gather 20,000 troops; not to mention that Zhuozhou is too far from Tokyo, more than a thousand miles... But if it is in Tokyo, the usage will be very particular!
Once these 20,000 people have the support of the ruling and the Privy Council, their strength will be infinitely expanded.
Even if Tokyo has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, those soldiers are usually dispersed, and it is difficult to mobilize them and there will be a lot of noise.
The generals have no right to mobilize troops in Tokyo. What force is stationed and how many people are stationed depends on the Privy Council... And if the queen is regent and truly trusts Guo Shao, and 20,000 people gather together, it is an absolute advantageous force in Tokyo and can calmly divide the armies.
Guo Shao joined the Imperial Guard at the age of fourteen and is twenty-two this year. He has been in the Imperial Guard for eight years. He is very familiar with the situation of the Imperial Guard.
The armies were stationed in many places in the city, and more than half of them were completely scattered home and rested; as long as someone used a certain army without voluntarily, they would immediately be a real handle for rebellion. If he had not had time to assemble the army, he would be surrounded and attacked by the queen's trusted troops... No matter who wins and loses on both sides, the Privy Council will definitely send several orders to mobilize other troops to beat the rebels together; even if other generals were swaying and watching, should the Privy Council obey the military orders?
If you don’t listen, you are disobeying. There is no difference between you and rebellion afterwards, so you are not waiting and watching but choosing.
Therefore, military generals who have no position will habitually abide by the military orders of the Privy Council.
Anyone who directly rebels with force in Tokyo will be beaten by the entire imperial guards as long as nothing unexpected happens.
Unless he can replace all the generals of the four main forces of the Imperial Guard, at least most of them will be replaced by generals who support him... If the influence is that great, then no system will work.
Therefore, Guo Shao had to go back to Tokyo and take his direct line, Hu Jie Army, back with his left wing, so as to help the queen control the situation as quickly as possible; otherwise, the queen would be worried about anything she did, and would not dare to touch those arrogant soldiers without force.
...The generals in the account talked for a while and were complaining now.Dong Zunxun said: I suddenly asked us to guard Zhuozhou, and the military rations in the city were not prepared in advance.Now that the grain road is attacked, how can Zhuozhou be defended for a long time?
Luo Yanhuan also echoed: Xiao Siwen's big horse soldiers left Gu'an and were pressing against Zhuozhou.Our cavalry could not defeat him, so we could only let the rangers raid the food route; the Longjie army and horse soldiers at Qigou Pass did not move and did not deliver food.This situation is really strange. Do the government should sit idly by and ignore us in Zhuozhou?
Someone also said: What if the Khitan leader led a large army south to siege Zhuozhou?
Li Chuyun calmed down and said: The Liao people could not surround Zhuozhou, and if they divided their troops to siege the city, they would not have enough troops to fight the main force of the Great Zhou.Unless the officials are still holding troops in Maguannan, it is impossible to throw away the elite troops in the imperial guards.
Guo Shao, who had been silent for a long time and was wondering what he was thinking about alone, suddenly said: I have a way, summon the commander and above generals and arrange their troops.
……
Xiao Siwen's big group of people stood ten miles away from Zhuozhou to watch, and he was already bored with this kind of chase drama.
First, the light cavalry in the southern part of Zhuozhou were expelled and surrounded by the Zhuozhou cavalry and chased and ran away. Then he led his army to deal with the Zhou cavalry in Zhuozhou; as a result, the Zhou army retreated back to the city.
Xiao Siwen retreated and was neither attacking nor helping him... siege was obviously useless.
Xiao Siwen's Khitan and Xi cavalry came out, and the field battle was already a force of troops to advance and retreat, but it was still impossible to attack the city; the Khitans were unable to attack the city, and more than 10,000 cavalry could not even surround Zhuozhou. How to attack?
The Zhou army general who guarded Zhuozhou was unknown, but he was not anxious or impatient.Xiao Siwen said, if there is no way, he will first withdraw the light troops near Qigou Pass and return to Gu'an to wait for a while before talking.
He was frustrated when suddenly a personal soldier came in and said, Brother Xi slaughtered a village in the south!
Xiao Siwen was furious and said: We are going to fight, is he going to do that bird business?Then why did the Han people mess with him?
The personal soldier said: I don’t know.
Xiao Siwen shouted: Call Brother Xi back and ask him to come to me to explain clearly!
At this moment, another general reported to the emperor: The horse soldiers in Zhuozhou have come out and are coming to us.
Huh?Xiao Siwen immediately threw away Brother Xi’s destruction and asked, how many people are?
The general who came to report said: One thousand five, maybe two thousand.
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen smiled and immediately ordered his troops to detour north and some to the south, preparing to copy the Zhou army's retreat.
Then he led the main force to fight head-on.
At this time, the general Xi Ge also came back. Xiao Siwen only cared about war and did not care about him.
Unexpectedly, the Zhou cavalry came out and ran away. Maybe he noticed the movement of the Liao army intending to encircle, so he turned around and ran away.
Xiao Siwen led his army to chase the city of Zhuozhou and found that the Zhou army's horse soldiers were still outside the city.
He immediately ordered the heavy cavalry of the South Court to be the vanguard and directly charge and fight.
In an instant, it seemed that both sides had not prepared much and started killing ahead.The two armies fought back and forth, fighting hard to solve.
When Xiao Siwen stepped forward, he saw the fighting horses under the city running around like whirlpools. The horse's hooves roared on the plains like muffled thunder, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky.
He ordered more generals to lead their troops to encircle from left to right and attack directly on both sides of the Zhou army.
When the large cavalry on both sides had just been dispatched, they suddenly saw the city gate open, and the Zhou army retreated in a row to the city. As soon as the rear army left, the front army was immediately in turmoil. Without waiting for the Liao reinforcements to go up, the Zhou Dynasty cavalry was killed and defeated.
At this time, the general next to Xiao Siwen said: The Zhou army opened the door and fled at the last battle. The Liao army's cavalry must take the opportunity to follow and enter the city... Could it be that this will break through Zhuozhou?
Xiao Siwen said: There are so many people in front of you, and it is too late to send orders to ask them to come back.Besides, why can't we enter the city?
No one of the generals could tell why they couldn't enter the city, for fear of being ambushed?
That incident was strange. The Liao generals present had never encountered a defender who would open the city gate and activate the city gate to enter the city and ambush them. Isn’t that just a joke on the city... The Han people often defended the city. The Liao army had been fighting with various dynasties and generations for decades. When they almost opened their eyes, they regarded this as common sense: siege the city, breaking through the city wall is equivalent to capturing a city!
At this moment, a young general said: If the Zhou army prepares an ambush in the city, we will suffer a loss.
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen turned around and said, "Going the wall from the city wall is like walking on flat ground."How did the Han people ambushes?
The young general said: The last general was plotted against a plot in a place called Wuqi Town, Luzhou, Hedong three years ago.I thought so at that time. I saw the walls of the town were dilapidated and thought it was easy, but I rushed into the door and found that the Han people had built fortifications in the town... It was a damn thing. We have never seen people guarding the city but not the walls, but repairing fortifications in it.I led my troops to besiege and dozens of people died before I was lucky enough to escape.
The Khitan generals were very surprised to hear that they had never seen the city guarding the city gate or the city wall.
On the entire land, the Han people always built cities to defend the Han people; the Khitans attacked the cities almost attacked the Han people. After all, the Han people used everything they could to guard the city walls and gates. The various methods of guarding the walls were dazzling... What about boiling gold and water with manure and mud to prevent fire from the city gates.
But I have never seen anyone else fighting after opening the city gate.
Xiao Siwen picked up the beard above his lips, thought for a while and said: Send someone to find Brother Xi, and ask him to be wary of the Han people's treacherous plans and ambush the troops.Tell him that the Khitans should be like tigers, fierce and alert.
At this time, there was a chaotic group at the city gate, and the Khitan cavalry and Zhou army mingled together and rushed into the city gate while fighting.
There are soldiers everywhere inside and outside the city gate, so how can they be closed?
Anyone who moves the city gate will be shot into a hornet's nest or knocked into meat paste by Khitan cavalry.
Xiao Siwen's follower found Brother Xi, and screams and horse hooves were shaking around him. He had to say loudly: The king asked me to tell the general, beware of the Han people's use of treacherous tricks!The king made the general as alert as a tiger!
Brother Xi cursed and said: What kind of tiger Ah beast is?The city was broken, and it was the first time I encountered a guard general who opened his city gate with a trick!After saying that, he ignored it, and left, leaving the king of the South Courtyard, and then he said to the people around him: The king is getting more and more timid.
Brother Xi followed a large group of cavalry in, and while sending people to dismount along the stone steps of the city wall to attack the city tower, while chasing the defeated Zhou Dynasty horses running around the central axis road in the city.
These cities were built by Han people at the beginning, basically with four square gates and two trunk roads in the middle, which facilitated the army to quickly provide mobile reinforcements to the four walls when defending the city.
More and more horse soldiers of the Liao army rushed onto the avenue and ran very smoothly on the flat and wide central axis.
Countless horses were roaring, and the entire city seemed to be trapped under the trampling of iron hooves!After entering the city, Brother Xi shouted happily: Don’t put away the knife for three days, and you will kill them all!
The people spread everywhere like a flood, and the streets were gradually filled with ditches.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a red square flag suddenly hung on a tower in the city, and then bang bang bang bang... Many fireworks flew into the air and bloomed in the air.
Even many Khitans couldn't help but look up, but unfortunately the blue sky and the sun were not so beautiful. On the contrary, the black smoke after the fireworks exploded and did not dissipate in the air for a long time.
not good!Brother Xi's face changed.He didn't know what was going on for a moment, but the sign was very wrong, which made him feel bad.
There are no antibiotics in this era. After the trunk is injured and infected, the wounded soldiers can only wait slowly to die, and the limbs are infected and can only be sawed off. This is very cruel.
The location of the Central Army was chosen, and at that time, he took into account the image of the Zhou army and did not disturb the people. Seeing that the place in front of the government was very spacious, he set up a barrier to station it; it was actually very noisy.
