The Weimin army pointed at Murong and the puppet Yan. When they passed through Jizhou, the puppet Han who was beaten and retreated steadily, was finally at the foot of Hejian County. power.

Goguryeo was persuaded by Murong Zixu, the envoy of Murong Yan State, and coupled with the accumulated resentment towards Liaodong over the years, finally decided to raise [-] troops, led by the eastern Sa Diyuan Taili, and cooperated with Murong Yan State to launch an attack on Liaodong County from behind.

Before Goguryeo raised troops, Yuan Taiyou, who was appointed by Chuning as a counselor to join the army, personally wrote a letter to persuade him, but it was difficult to persuade Yuan Taili, who was dominated by anger and lured by wealth and money.

Fearing that the Liaodong army would return to aid, Yuan Taili did not divide his troops to take the cities of Liaodong. Instead, he planned to take Da County directly to attack Muyang City after taking down Black Bone City with heavy troops, hoping to make a quick battle before the Liaodong army returned to aid.

However, Yuan Taili did not expect that when he led his army southward along the Mazi River, he encountered the first battle before reaching Black Bone City.

According to Yuan Taili's estimation after investigation, the scale of the Liaodong army participating in the battle this time is not large, there should be only about 300 people, but the lethality caused to Goguryeo is extremely terrible, and more than a hundred people were shot and killed on the spot. Seriously hit the morale of the Goguryeo army.

For this reason, Yuan Taili had to send 2000 people to hunt them down, but he didn't expect that these two thousand people went into the tiger's mouth, and only dozens of people escaped after two or three days, bringing a very terrible news-the chase The Goguryeo army that was killed encountered a large army of the Liaodong Army, and this large army, with banners covering the sun, seemed to have tens of thousands of people, waiting for the Goguryeo army to die.

Yuan Taili was shocked: "Didn't Murong Zixu say that Liaodong only has more than [-] troops? How can it be possible that Jizhou, Taiyuan, and Youzhou are fighting at the same time and still have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Black Bone City?"

"My lord, you have been deceived by the envoys of Murong Yan!" A small leader who had escaped cried, "There are only more than [-] troops in Liaodong! They are all soldiers! Even women wear armor and carry When the knives and guns are on the battlefield, they fight more fiercely than men. Rows of crossbows and arrows shoot over like rain. Our soldiers can't rush through at all, they can only be shot alive die……"

"...You guys are so stupid! Don't you just stand there and let them shoot you?"

Yuan Taili was furious, and directly beheaded the little leader. Regardless of dissuasion, he decided to go to Black Bone City to meet those female generals. After all, he had already forged an enmity with Liaodong, and he would not take this opportunity to wait for Liaodong to turn around Come, I will definitely come to clean up Goguryeo.

Within two days, Yuan Taili led the army to the Black Bone City, and saw a large Liaodong army waiting for them. Military situation, why are all the people in Liaodong soldiers?It is simply that they have no soldiers in hand, so they send women out to defend the city.

So what if there are thousands of women in armor, holding bows and crossbows, and carrying swords?Women are women, and they are naturally weak and unsuitable for the battlefield. Letting them defend the city is simply sending them to death!

After Yuan Taili saw the enemy's situation clearly, he quickly ordered to beat the drums and line up to attack. He couldn't believe that his 3 army could not take down this mere [-] or [-] women!

However, Yuan Taili soon realized that he really underestimated him a bit, because when he was forming an army, someone galloped across in front of these women and pulled up several barbed wire fences.

These barbed wire fences are round and about half a person's height. They are easy to jump over, and cannot be easily cut off and removed. They are like barbed snakes lying in front of them. Although they cannot stop Goguryeo's bows and crossbows, they are It can prevent the soldiers from rushing to fight close to each other, but the Goguryeo soldiers who are blocked outside the barbed wire are like arrow targets. When a rain of arrows falls, a large area will fall down.

There is no way, Yuan Taili can only let the sword soldiers, archers and spear soldiers retreat. Goguryeo's bow soldiers and crossbow soldiers stepped forward to shoot at each other, but unexpectedly, when they turned around, the two sides of their own army also shot at each other. The barbed wire was pulled up, and then the opponent's formation began to extend to both sides, like a crescent moon in the night sky, and launched a left and right flank attack at the same time.

The three sides were attacked at the same time, and the damage range of the Liaodong Army's crossbows and arrows was greatly increased. Even if Goguryeo put up a shield formation, it would only struggle in vain in front of the Liaodong Army's heavy crossbows and arrow rain.

The horrible death rate made the soldiers at the back of the formation completely lose the courage to charge forward, and soon ignored Yuan Taili's orders and began to flee backwards...

This is the first time that the iron net bow and crossbow tactics of the Guards Army came out. When historians and military strategists of later generations studied this period of history and this war, they called it Yan's Tactics, and concluded——Yan's Tactics The emergence of the "Cold War" ended the history of large-scale battles in the era of cold weapons, and straightly increased the casualty rate and cruelty of cold wars.

According to the records of the Kyushu regime, there were less than 8000 soldiers in the Guards Army in this battle, but more than [-] were killed in battle—that is to say, more than [-]% of the Goguryeo army suffered casualties in this battle.

Such a high casualty rate, for the cold weapon war, is almost unbelievably high except for the killing of prisoners and surrenders. Many historians of later generations even believe that this is the Liaodong faction trying to compete with the heroes of the world. , deliberately exaggerated casualties, and used military power to frighten the world.

In addition, because most of the participants in this battle were female soldiers, it was often discussed by feminists of later generations, calling this battle the battle for the rise of Chinese women!

It is precisely because a large number of women went to the battlefield, participated in the war, and mastered the military power and political power, that the idea of ​​equality between men and women was born in the new dynasty, and it was only a few hundred years later that the new Chu dynasty formally changed the constitution and declared civilization The world - equality between men and women!

Although the defense of Liaodong was successful, after Su Mingyue surrendered, the progress of the Weimin Army's war against Murong Yan was not smooth.

Most of the Murong Yan Kingdom were cavalry, with strong mobility, and they could grab and eat wherever they went, and they had no worries. Just running non-stop, they pulled the infantry of the Guards Army into a passive situation.

The two sides stalemate for about half a year, and this situation was improved, because the tactics of the Guards and People's Army no longer aimed at siege, but used division-level troops as combat units, scattered in Shangdang, Taiyuan, Daijun and other places, and coordinated Yan's tactics launched a guerrilla attack where the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stays and we harass, the enemy is tired and we attack, and the enemy retreats and pursues, aiming at killing and annihilating.

This war between Liaodong and Yan State lasted for nearly three years. In the end, the army of Yan State was bit by bit by Liaodong and killed less than [-]. After losing Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Daijun, the puppet Yan also lost his source of troops, so he could only transfer all the troops back to garrison Jinyang City, preparing for the final decisive battle with the guards.

On the morning of the seventh day of August, Jinyang City blew the horn for early warning of war. All the main troops boarded the city and waited for the battle. There are only a few people standing sparsely in the Rouran army.

"The horn has sounded three times, why haven't the soldiers arrived yet?"

"Back to the general." The deputy standing beside said with a wry smile: "The soldiers have not had enough food for three months... they were too hungry to hold their swords..."

"What about the common people?" Murong Yunji asked again: "But there are still soldiers harassing the common people?"

The lieutenant trembled in his heart, and quickly said: "The people... are fine. Ever since the general ordered the prohibition of looting the people, the soldiers have never violated the order again."

"Very good!" Murong Yunji was overjoyed: "Quickly send someone to find some common people to help us defend the city."

The deputy general hesitated: "This..."

Murong Yunji's expression turned cold, and he scolded: "Why don't you go quickly?"

The lieutenant immediately took some men and left, not long after, Murong Wuyou hurriedly ran over, he didn't know what happened, and even lost one of his shoes.

Murong Yunji supported him, and quickly asked: "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"There are spies in Jinyang City." Murong Wu took a deep breath, and it took him a while to recover: "Just now there was a little beggar singing ballads on the street..."

"What are you singing?"

"Open the gates of the city, welcome the king's teacher, punish the barbarians, suppress the rebellious party, divide the land, pay less food, and everyone's house is full of rice..."

This kind of ballad is definitely not something that the little beggar could think of by himself, someone must have instigated it to sing it.

"Has anyone been caught?"

Murong Wuyou shook his head: "The soldiers and generals are mostly guarding the city wall, and there are only a few guards around. They were singing in several places. When we arrived, they had already disappeared."

"Investigate! Send someone to investigate carefully." After Murong Yunji finished speaking, he asked again: "Ah, what does that mean now? Today, only 500 people were sent here, saying that they have not had enough in three months Food, too hungry to hold a sword... Is this handsome a three-year-old child?"

"How can he be so hungry that he can't hold a sword?" Murong Wuyou sneered, "The old man heard that he has gotten very close to a few merchants recently, and he couldn't get a lot of looted treasures, so he went to those merchants to buy food and grass. "

Murong Yunji paused, and then wondered: "Now in Jinyang City, is there any merchant that has food and grass to sell?"

"I heard it's Donglai Bai's firm." Murong Wuyou asked, "Do you want to do it?"

"Of course we have to do it." Murong Yunji smiled coldly: "Brother Wu You is looking for spies, isn't he? Go to Bai's Commercial Firm and look for them, maybe there will be surprises."

The two were talking, but they saw the guards leading a scholar in wide-sleeved robes over.

"My next Guo Zhijie is the envoy under the command of the envoy of Chu in Eastern Liaodong." Guo Zhijie bowed his waist and bowed to Murong Yunji, then took out a box and handed it to Murong Yunji's guards: "Chu The envoy wrote this letter hundreds of miles away the day before yesterday, and entrusted me to pass it on to General Murong Yunji."

The author has something to say: Ma Zishui, also known as the Yalu River.
