Chapter 346

The city wall of Daming Mansion had just experienced a desperate battle. Whether it was under the city wall or on the city wall, corpses were piled up everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the sky.

Lu Zhixiao looked at the Liao army like locusts, gritted his teeth and roared:
"This Daming Mansion can't be kept anymore. Everyone will withdraw, withdraw across the Yellow River, and destroy all the ships after crossing the river. Hurry up, we must guard Bianliang, we must guard Bianliang!!!"

What the Liao army wanted was a quick battle and a quick decision, so the siege of the city was really fierce, but in order to fear that the Zhou army who defended the city would rather die than retreat, they adopted the policy of besieging three ques and one.

That is to let you Zhou Jun escape, let you see the hope of life, and use this kind of conspiracy to disintegrate Zhou Jun's fighting consciousness.

In this way, the cities passed by the Liao army will not be nailed behind them like nails to prevent them from being made dumplings.

The commander of the army on the East Road was Yeluming, the great king of the Southern Academy. He knew very well that his current food and grass could not sustain the battle of 30 troops for a long time.

Therefore, the strategic goal of the Liao army is very clear, that is, to advance quickly, cross the Yellow River as quickly as possible, and then the three armies besieged Bianliang.

As long as the city of Bianliang is broken, at least half of the wealth and food of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, so whether it is to grab it and leave, or continue to go south to destroy Zhou after a rest, there will be material guarantees, and there are many choices.

Therefore, the Liao army didn't bother to attack some small towns along the way, so they just skipped them.

But for an important town like Daming Mansion (Beijing City in the Zhou Dynasty), the Liao army had to take it first, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

But the Liao army's quick battle has one of the biggest hidden dangers. If Bianliang City cannot be attacked for a long time and the Liao army's food and grass cannot be sustained, then the morale of the army will collapse quickly, and then the entire Liao country itself will collapse first.

In the same way, the existing grain, grass and supplies of the Liao army simply cannot support them to go to the more affluent Jiangnan to grab a grab. Bianliang City is their limit.

So for the Liao Kingdom, Bianliang had to be robbed.

Either the Great Zhou died, or the Great Liao died.

This will make the fight even more ruthless.

Tongguan is a small city. Although it is a dangerous pass in the world, it has not been breached once or twice in history. It is far inferior to Hangu Pass in the Qin Dynasty.

On September [-], Tongguan was breached by the Liao army after holding on for ten days.

At this point, the last natural barrier in the Central Plains is gone, and behind it is a plain area that is more suitable for Liao cavalry to fight. The revolving door pass to the east of Luoyang cannot be called a natural barrier at all, and it cannot stop the Liao army.

After passing Luoyang, we will soon arrive at Bianliang.

Only Chen Buer's uncle Lu Binbing stubbornly resisted the attack of the Liao Kingdom's Middle Route Army in Taiyuan.

Taiyuan City could not be broken for a long time, 20 Liao troops had to divide their troops, 10 continued to attack Taiyuan City, and 10 Liao troops rushed to Bianliang.

The division of the Liao army was actually carried out unconsciously, and those who could really reach Bianliang, as predicted by Emperor Yuan Jing, could only reach half of them at most.

When the northern wolf smoke died, Chen Buer had successfully brought everyone to Jingshi Mountain.

Because Jingshi Mountain is not too far away from Tongguan and Luoyang City. Although it is not on the main road and is still hiding in the mountains, who knows if the Liao army will go crazy?

So after everyone arrived at Jingshi Mountain, they were not placed in the manor at the foot of the mountain, but were directly asked to go to Yuhuangding.

There are three huge buildings on the top of the Jade Emperor. The original design plan is to accommodate about a thousand people, so there is no need to worry about where to live. As for food, this is still a problem?
But how to go up the mountain has become a problem. If you are a middle-aged person, you can climb the Jade Emperor Peak in half a day.

But now there are a lot of old people and children, which is troublesome. Chen Buer and his two hundred guards had to act as "porters" to carry the old people and children up the mountain.

But the last section of the carp’s back cannot be lifted, because there are too many bamboo sedan chairs, and there is no way to turn around on the carp’s back, which will seriously affect the follow-up traffic, so we can only walk over.

The Chen family is fine, anyway, they often go away, and they have already gotten used to it.

But for the relatives of other prefectures, this is a huge problem, especially the female relatives, all of them turned pale with fear because of fear of heights.

Many children were about to cry.

But what can we do? It is rare to find a paradise in troubled times, and everyone can only bravely pass by the back of the carp and go to Yuhuangding.

In Jingshi Mountain, how to accommodate so many people, how to ensure the food and drink of so many people, this is not something that Chen Buer should care about. Anyway, the food he provided is enough for everyone to eat for several years.

Moreover, there are natural springs on Yuhuang Mountain, and there is no shortage of drinking water.

Chen Bu'er has been staying in the manor at the foot of the mountain for the past few days. Huang Yi and the others were originally scouts, so they went out as a small team to inquire about information.

At the same time, the secret agents of the Imperial City Department sent all kinds of information to Jingshishan at the fastest speed.

On September 28th, the gates of Bianliang City were closed tightly, and all the cities on Gyeonggi Road were cleared of the walls, and everyone evacuated to the city.

On the third day of October, the East Route Army of the Liao Kingdom arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River. Because there were no boats, they could not cross the river for a while, and they were trying to find a way to detour.

On the fifth day of October, the West Route Army of the Liao Kingdom besieged Luoyang City, but failed to capture it, so they divided up again, some continued to besiege Luoyang, and some prepared to attack Bianliang.

There is no news from the Central Route Army, and it seems that there has been no way to break through the Shanxi defense line.

Chen Buer looked at the pieces of information in his hand, thinking about each thought in his mind.

The defense of Bianliang seems to be inevitable now, and the Liao army will not stop until it captures famous cities in the world such as Bianliang and Luoyang.

But this also exposed the weakness of the Liao army's too long supply line.

For example, the Western Front Army of the Liao Kingdom went east from Xingqing Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, Tongguan, Luoyang and then all the way to Bianliang. Such a supply line was too long for thousands of miles.

The rations carried by the Liao army would not exceed three days. The forward troops had been rushing, and a large amount of luggage and food could only follow behind slowly.

Chen Bu'er held the map and kept tapping his fingers on the table.

"Fatty man, thin man, I have an idea. Now the Liao Kingdom's West Route Army is right under our noses, and they are about to hit Bianliang soon. It's time for us to act."

"Master, tell me, how do you fight?"

The skinny guys have already had itchy hands. As mentioned earlier, they have served as soldiers and eaten food, so they have a higher degree of identification with Da Zhou and are more enthusiastic.

"We are just these people. Frontal attack is definitely not enough. Let's fight guerrilla warfare. First, we will disable the West Route Army, and then we can reduce the pressure on Bianliang as much as possible. In this way, Fatty, you lead two teams to guard the carp's back. You must ensure that The family is safe, and the rest follow me."

The fat man was about to cry when he heard this: "Master, I want to go outside too!"
