Attack the city? Liu Yan thinks his brain is normal. Even if Koguryo's rear area looks empty, there will be at least 10000 people in each city. Regardless of whether Koguryo's beauty will mobilize the whole city for defense, that is, after the city is laid down, how can the Han Dynasty abduct people?
"The correct approach should be to sweep the surrounding villages first, loot materials and reduce our logistical pressure." Liu Yan rode a tall horse and saw the village with fire. There was a wail and scream: "catch the 'savages' and send them back to the peninsula in batches. Depending on the situation, decide whether to transfer them to Changguang county or Dongmou county."
In this era, not all people living in the city are called savages, especially the Chaoxian Peninsula, which is both closed and in the stage of semi slave society.
There are still a lot of things that can be robbed. The current season is just after the autumn harvest, which is exactly the time when the landlord has surplus food. In addition to food, we have to tell a big truth, that is, a small amount of fur is a little valuable. Otherwise, Gaoyu beauty can be intolerably poor.
The wanton looting in the Han Dynasty obviously stimulated the baiji army, and a small group of Baiji soldiers began to secretly participate in the robbery. Seeing that there was only food, fur and population in the Han Dynasty, the baiji soldiers seemed not interested in the bronzes at all. With bright eyes, they began to search all the bronzes they could find.
"Since the baiji people like bronze, they own it." Liu Yan touched his chin and said, "ask again if you can hire them to act as auxiliary soldiers for the time being, and we'll pay."
Ji Chang was stunned and nodded.
Koguryo troops have begun to appear around, many in number, but relatively small in scale, which proves that Koguryo must have reacted.
"Let them assemble and we'll have a field battle with Koguryo." Liu Yan is looking at the map of mountains and rivers, which are slowly added up in the back. As for what place names are also named indiscriminately, Gongsun leopard will not provide help. He said: "this place happens to be a terrain that can be used for field operations. Waiting to defeat this enemy, you can try to attack the city."
To tell the truth, Liu Yan doesn't know the name of this ghost place, but from the perspective of population distribution and city distribution, the population density in Koguryo is obviously higher than that in most areas of houzhao. This is related to the narrow territory of Koguryo, but does it not mean that later Zhao crippled most of the Central Plains and had a real intention to build the central plains into a ranch?
In the next few days, the Han ministry continued to clean up the villages. After delivering 50 kilograms of gold to Gongsun Bao in Jichang, the baiji troops became the auxiliary troops of the Han ministry. In addition to giving Gongsun leopard 50 Jin of gold (called red gold these days), each Baiji soldier can also get some additional "salary". It is agreed that two five baht per day, and no credit is allowed.
"General, there is a 15000 Koguryo army moving here. It will reach 20000 when it meets thousands of local people." Gongsun leopard is not out of kindness. He must be careful not to get himself in here. He suggested very seriously, "why don't we retreat?"
Koguryo is a "powerful country" on the peninsula. Otherwise, Baiji and Xinluo will not be beaten all the time. It seems that the land under their feet belonged to Baiji not long ago and was occupied by Koguryo's invasion, so Baiji retreated to the edge of the Han River.
Liu Yan and Ji Chang looked at each other. In fact, they didn't know so much about Koguryo.
After thinking about it, Liu Yan nodded: "then turn to the direction of Daifang County for the time being."
Turn in, this word is used very well, but it's not a derogatory word here. The Han ministry moved to Daifang County in a planned way. All the way, it was still burning, killing and looting the villages. Most of the high sentence beauties learned well and went to the nearby cities to escape in advance.
"Jun Shang, the Koguryo army began to block in a planned way." Ji Chang took the military information reported below: "Li Kuang's Tun encountered an organized Koguryo army."
Li Kuang's report was quite detailed. He not only introduced the fighting process, but also described the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Koguryo army.
"Like County soldiers or something?" Liu Yan felt that this was normal. If they wanted to retreat, Koguryo needed to stop: "that was to create an opportunity for the 20000 Koguryo troops coming from the northeast to catch up with us."
"Cheap Baiji people." How can Jichang judge that the damn Baiji people will step back from the troops confronting Koguryo and may have made strategic promises before Koguryo will transfer troops from the central region. He said coldly, "Sir, let the troops at the landing point shrink appropriately."
Liu Yan heard that Ji Chang felt that Baiji people could not be trusted at all and should make relevant preparations as soon as possible.
As a long history of military planning, Ji Chang has every reason to doubt everything that can be suspected. His duty is to assist Liu Yan in planning and plug possible loopholes.
The materials and population they captured in Koguryo were sent to Incheon. Almost one batch was sent away. In order to achieve rapid transportation, Liu Yan transferred all the ships to maintain the Miaodao islands. As a result, there was some impact on the local side.
Throughout the map, the direction of Daifang County towards 1 Xianxian peninsula is an oval peninsula. There is no field, but I don't know what the terrain is like in the past.
However, Liu Yan is very clear that Chaoxian peninsula is a mountainous area. It is reasonable to say that this kind of terrain is not conducive to invasion, but once the invasion is successful, it is not difficult to find a place to stick to it.
After four days, they almost didn't attack the village again. They withdrew to a place called liekou.
Liekou was first established in the Western Han Dynasty and belongs to a county under the rule of Lelang county. After being occupied by Koguryo, the county level has been abolished.
In fact, Koguryo's administrative division is strange. They implement the tribal system. Therefore, there is no administrative unit of county. Some are the city system. What tribe and family owns a city and then obey the orders of the Gaoshi royal family.
"It is Jin Yuandao who commands 20000 troops." Gongsun leopard looked serious: "that's a famous general."
Jin Yuandao? Anyway, Liu Yan knows something about Koguryo in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but he is blind to Koguryo in the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The so-called Koguryo famous general Jin Yuandao is rumored to be a domestic slave of the Gaoshi royal family. It's not a slander to say that he is a domestic slave of the Gaoshi family. In Koguryo, not everyone can be a royal domestic slave. He repeatedly led troops to invade Baiji or Silla in the south of Koguryo. It seems that he won more and lost less. For Baiji and Silla, what is it?
Liu Yan's heart is extremely greasy. The corner of chaoyixian peninsula is only better than that of the Japanese islands. The Japanese islands are village level fights, and chaoyixian Peninsula should be town level fights. What famous generals can be produced in this way?
Of course, disdain belongs to disdain, but Liu Yan has made sufficient preparations, such as setting up necessary fortresses and building peripheral fortifications.
"What?!" Gongsun leopard was confused and angry: "three thousand relief troops set up another camp?"
In other words, the baiji people only brought the most basic baggage, and there was no way to set up a camp at all.
"Why don't you go home?" Liu Yanyi had a good face for Baiji Army: "there will be a war here soon. Swords and arrowheads don't have eyes. Let's deal with our war ourselves."
Gongsun Bao had an impulse to spit blood. When they were on the side of the Han River, Liu Yan didn't say to let Baiji army retreat. They didn't let Baiji army retreat until they retreated to liekou with the Han ministry?
"We'll be stuck halfway!" Gongsun leopard thought, "I found your fleet moving in this area, otherwise... Let's retreat in your warship?"
"Don't even think about it!" Liu Yan refused very crisp: "how do I know if you will rob the boat?"
Gongsun leopard seemed to explain something. Liu Yan said a few words about benevolence, righteousness and morality.
"We are not allies. We can't share a camp. Either you set up a camp quickly or you retreat." Liu Yan is also serious: "don't worry, even if you are blocked halfway, if you die in battle, for the sake of being happy together, we will avenge you!"
"..." Gongsun leopard's face turned black in an instant.
