Chapter 609 The Final Battle (Nineteen)

Gentle and dignified, majestic.The only way is to annex the eight wastelands and make great achievements through the ages; Hengli composes poems and laughs proudly in the past.Unexpectedly, the Southern Expedition and the Northern War exhausted the strength of the people, and Yu Xiong Yuzhi lost the hearts of the people.Seeing, the picturesque lands and mountains are all lost, and the good head is also parted from the liver and gallbladder.It only ends up that a generation of heroes returns to the loess, and a few lines of smoked willows cover the lonely grave.This is, the canal stretches from the past to the present, carrying boats and overturning all mortals.

When the emperor's conscription order was conveyed to the whole world, rebellion was raging like a storm. Some people who had hoped for Yang Guang at first thought that as long as they endured for another month or two, the emperor would recuperate and the bad days would end. After still wanting to make a militaristic plan, they finally lost their last self-consolation and rebelled together with other rebels.

In fact, as early as when Yang Guang started his expedition to the Kingdom of Yan, some rebels had already appeared in the Central Plains, but at that time, there were not many and the scale was not large, so Yang Guang didn't take it to heart, and he didn't even bother to reason. It's just an ordinary bandit.

At that time, most of the people still believed that their bad days would only last for two or three months, and if they endured, the bad days would be over soon, so there was no need to risk their lives to rebel.

However, the emperor's actions made them completely wake up.

endure?fuck you!

The bad days are over soon?roll!

Rebellion broke out in the county where Yang Guang's conscription edict arrived.

Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, which are the closest to Zhuojun, are the key areas for Yang Guang to squeeze people's power, because they are close, and they can be quickly put into use after being squeezed out.

All of a sudden, wars broke out all over the Central Plains, and rebels were everywhere.

The rebel army conquered the city and killed the imperial officials. If they were more civilized, they would elect the local gentry to be the nominal leader, decorate their own team, and show that they were benevolent and righteous.

It's rough, but it's not so easy to talk about. Burning, killing and looting are all basic operations. Occasionally massacring a few scholar families to vent their daily grievances is also a common thing.

Among the many uprising teams, Hebei Dou Jiande was the most popular. He opened warehouses to release grain, and he did not force conscription. Those who were willing to farm could go home to farm, and those who were willing to rebel with him could rebel with him.

In addition to peasant uprisings, there are also aristocratic/noble/noble rebellions.

The last one that could dissatisfy both the upper and lower classes, and the nobles/nobles/nobility and the people at the bottom rebelled together was called Wang Mang.

Most of the rebels, the first thing they did after the uprising was to attack the empire's granary and use the empire's grain to recruit those people who couldn't eat enough.

The two generations of emperors of the empire collected the food of the people all over the world and stored it in the granary, but they were reluctant to use it for disaster relief. Now it has become the wealth used by the rebels to expand their troops.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, Yang Xuangan secretly returned to the Central Plains, and secretly contacted his old friend [Li Mi], inviting him to rebel together.

Like Yang Xuangan, Li Mi is a core member of the Guanlong Group, and his status is higher than that of Li Yuan at the same time.

But such a core member of the Guanlong nobles actually wanted to rebel. You must know that the Guanlong nobles were the foundation of the Sui Dynasty and the foundation of the empire.

Now even the basic board is about to rebel, this Great Sui is about to end!

Li Mi put forward three strategies for rebellion against Yang Xuangan. The best strategy is to attack thousands of miles, take Zhuojun directly, and capture Yang Guang alive.

This best strategy can be said to have won the essence of Wang Jue's art of war at the end of the Han Dynasty. If Wang Jue rebelled, he would probably have to rush thousands of miles to capture Yang Guang alive.

The middle strategy is to attack Guanzhong, relying on the dangerous mountains and rivers, to block Yang Guang's army's counterattack, and wait for Yang Guang to be killed by the Kwantung rebels.

The worst strategy is to capture Luoyang, the capital of the empire, control the ruling class of the empire, and take the family members of the powerful and powerful as hostages, so as to preserve their wealth and life.

After listening to the three strategies, Yang Xuangan said: "The best strategy you mentioned is really too risky. I am not as skilled as Wang Jue in using soldiers. This best strategy is not suitable for me."

The two disastrous defeats made him realize how weak he was, and he dared not adopt Li Mi's best strategy.

This best strategy sounds very good, one battle will determine the world, but the problem is that the executor needs to have a very strong command ability, Yang Xuangan has self-knowledge, he feels that he can't do it, so he doesn't choose the best strategy.

As for the middle strategy, relying on the dangerous mountains and rivers in Guanzhong to resist Yang Guang's army of millions, Yang Xuan felt that it was not reliable.

Just because Yan Guo can do it doesn't mean that Yang Xuangan can do it too.

In the end, Yang Xuangan chose the worst strategy, capturing the defenseless Luoyang, controlling the center of the empire, and using the families of the rich and powerful as hostages to protect his personal safety.

Knowing that Yang Xuangan actually chose the wrong strategy, Li Mi could only shake his head and sigh: "It is not luck and coincidence that the country of Yan is as powerful as it is today. Look at his ancestors, and then look at our teammates, alas..."

"Wang Jue ran for thousands of miles, from Hebei to Nanyang, piercing Cao Cao's ruled area, and Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled. With such ancestors, Yan State is naturally powerful today."

But since his friend has chosen the worst strategy, Li Mi can only assist with all his strength.

In just a few months, the entire Central Plains was full of rebels.

However, Yang Guang, who was far away in Zhuojun County, still insisted on continuing to recruit troops, continue to attack Yan State, and continue to smash Yan State's blockhouses in Shanhaiguan for no reason.

Shanhaiguan

"kill!"

The imperial army did not know how many times it was the first charge. A few months ago, many of them were still digging canals, but they were suddenly conscripted into the army and rushed to die in Shanhaiguan, a place they were not familiar with.

Compared with the first million-strong conquest of Yan, the quality of the second million-strong conquest of Yan was much worse.

The elite of the empire was lost in Shanhaiguan, and many of the millions of troops this time are recruits, drawn from civilian husbands.

Even if the elite soldiers were lost in Shanhaiguan, it would be even more difficult for an army filled with a group of civilians to face Shanhaiguan.

An imperial soldier/civilian, carrying a bag of sandbags, rushed into the front of the bunker, and blocked the small hole in the bunker with sandbags to prevent the small hole in the bunker from continuing to shoot arrows.

The soldiers of Yan State in the bunker kept shooting arrows outside through the small hole, and stabbed people with spears from time to time.

The empire tried to use catapults to smash them, but the bunkers were too hard to smash, and the empire's catapults would be attacked by Yan's original cannons, and they would be scrapped after a few times.

The empire also tried digging the foundations under the bunkers, but the foundations were too deep to penetrate.

The empire also tried to use ladders to attack bunkers, but the bunkers are prismatic and the contact area is very small, and the ladders can't be placed at all. Even if they find a good angle and barely put them up, the soldiers of Yan State in the bunkers will poke them through small holes. The imperial soldiers who are climbing the ladder, and the soldiers of the Yan State on the bunker will fight back.

Even if you are lucky enough to capture a blockhouse, it is meaningless, because Yan will demolish the wooden bridge, and there are thousands of such blockhouses. After the imperial army is defeated, the lost one or two blockhouses will soon be destroyed by the Yan army. Take it back.

In the end, the empire could only use the method of filling sandbags, which caused great casualties, and let the soldiers of the empire withstand the attacks of flint, arrow rain, firecrackers, spears, and golden juice, and piled up layers of sandbags under the nose of the bunker. The sandbags on the first floor gamble to death the small holes in the bunker.

On the surface of the Bohai Sea next to Shanhaiguan, there are countless corpses floating. The corpses have formed an endless land, and many vultures are standing on the corpses to enjoy the food.

The bunker group has changed from khaki to bright red, and the walls have been covered with countless layers of blood. The ground has long been stained red by blood, and even the rain cannot clean it.
