Poor Family 1

  Chapter 633 Reconciliation by war

In the big tent of the Chinese Army, Li Yanqing spread out a map of the distribution of the various tribes of the Black Party on the table. This is the topographic map of Gyeongju that Yan Qing led the scouts to draw for five days. Of course, it also includes the various tribes of the Black Party. where the location is.

"There are a total of thirteen tribes in the Black Party, the largest is Yeli, followed by Nanli, and then there are Beggars, Wild Horses, and Feituo. These five major tribes account for 80% of the Black Party, and the other eight small tribes are almost It can be ignored, this riot was mainly led by Ye Lifeng, plus the other four big tribes, we have already cleared up three, but Feituo and Ye Lifeng escaped, this time we attacked with Feituo The department is the main one, do you have any opinions?"

  Li Yanqing looked at the dozen generals. At this moment, Cao Meng raised his hand and said, "Controller, why didn't you fight Wild Lifeng? He is the culprit. I think we should attack his tribe first."

  Everyone was talking about it for a while, it seems that Cao Meng said what many people were thinking.

Li Yanqing waved his hand, and the big tent immediately fell silent. Li Yanqing pointed at Ye Lifeng's tribe with a wooden pole and said, "Everyone can look at this location. Ye Lifeng's tribe is only fifty miles away from the main tribe, and far from the other big tribes." It is also very close. If our army drives over, under pressure, the black party will probably resist collectively. If it is made clear that we only play wild and sharp fronts, it will appear that we are weak. The best choice is to frighten them with a thunderbolt, and then use war to promote peace and strive for the greatest benefit."

Li Yanqing can completely make decisions on his own, but he still called all the side generals. He is actually cultivating them consciously and letting them participate in decision-making. In the future, they will gradually become independent. In fact, it is also the result of long-term tempering.

  Everyone nodded silently. They also understood the intention of the coach. The purpose of the fight was to promote peace and to gain the greatest bargaining chip for negotiations.

   "Then when will we attack? How many troops will we use?" Han Shizhong asked.

  Li Yanqing pondered for a while and said: "It's still the same as last time. Commander Cao is in charge of defending the camp, and the remaining 9,000 troops are in charge of attacking. We will set off overnight tonight, but this time I allow the use of thunder!"

The generals returned to the camp and were ready to go. Li Yanqing said to Mo Jun again: "This time, sir will cooperate with Lin Zhizhou on behalf of the military and be responsible for negotiating with the black party. We released him before, and I guess it will happen in a few days." Someone is coming."

   "What about our conditions?" Mo Jun asked, he knew that Li Yanqing was the real decision maker behind the scenes.

Li Yanqing said lightly: "In fact, I have already thought about this condition. In fact, there are three conditions. First, all the people they plundered should be released, their property must be returned, and each person should be compensated one hundred guan; second, we captured seven thousand If there are many women and children, let them redeem with sheep, one hundred sheep per person; third, I want all their war horses, and they must all be handed over to us."

  Mo Jun was taken aback, "Control, this asking price is too high!"

Li Yanqing's gaze suddenly became fierce, "If we hadn't killed 3,000 of them, my asking price would have been ten times higher. Would they be able to compensate for the casualties in Qingdong and Beihe counties alone? You have to be tough." One point, at worst, I don’t want to compensate, and destroy their entire clan!”

   "I understand the humble job, now go to Lin Zhizhou!"

  Mo Jun knew that Li Yanqing had already planned to kill. If he hadn't been worried about impeachment by the court, he would definitely have killed.

Li Yanqing walked to the big tent with his hands behind his back. In fact, his murderous intentions were already surging, but his reason told him again and again that if he failed to handle the matter of the mafia, his political career might end because of it. The imperial court will never allow such tragedies as massacres and exterminations to occur in the territory of the Song Dynasty, after all, the Black Party Xiang is also a citizen of the Song Dynasty!

  Li Yanqing forced the gushing murderous intent back into his chest, he stared at the dark night outside, another war was waiting for him.

The Feituo tribe is located about 150 miles east of Maling. It is the most marginal tribe among the five major tribes of the Heidangxiang. Of course, there are two small tribes following them. It is no wonder that there are not many grazing resources in Gyeongju. There are many mountains, and the Black Party members mainly rely on grazing and medicinal materials for a living. This is also an important reason why Ye Lifeng was able to persuade the other four tribes to join the riot. The long-term poverty made them unable to bear the temptation of looting.

At dawn, nine thousand Song soldiers arrived five miles away from Feituo Dazhai. This is not a temporary Dazhai in Qizhou, but an old village that has been in operation for a hundred years. The mountain is full of densely packed cave dwellings and houses, which look like a huge beehive stretching for several miles from a distance.

The Feituo tribe also retreated from Fuzhou unscathed. They have a total population of more than 15,000 people, including more than 3,000 young and strong, and more than 2,000 horses. A force to be reckoned with.

The leader, Kemei, was originally thankful that the army had withdrawn from Yanzhou unscathed, but he never imagined that because he did not pay the price, the first knife of the Song army entering Qingzhou was actually slashed at him, and he would pay the price. An even heavier price.

Ke Mei had already received the emergency report from the outside scouts, and his hands and feet were so frightened that his hands and feet became cold. In the village, there was a lot of crying and shouting in Dazhai.

Li Yanqing watched this big village from a high place. The terrain of the big village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Song army did not have good means of attacking the city, it might really pay a heavy price, but since Zhen Tianlei came out, , its powerful explosive power is enough to destroy some not-so-strong city walls. Although this Dazhai has a good terrain, its defensive structure is very crude. The wooden and stone structure is a typical defense against wolves but not against people. The army came to attack,

They themselves are citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are connected with the blood of Xixia. They have not encountered any enemies for a hundred years, but they could not withstand the temptation and instigation of Ye Lifeng, and committed heinous crimes on the land of Qingzhou and Fuzhou, which eventually led to The thunderous wrath of Song Jun who came, this is also what they did.

'Woo—' the low-pitched horn blew, and groups of murderous Song troops marched towards Dazhai. Three small trebuchets appeared in the group, which could throw fifty catties of thunderbolts to hundreds of thousands of people. Steps away, they will be a sharp weapon to attack the enemy's Dazhai.

Ke Mei stood at the gate of the village and watched the dark Song Jun. His legs were trembling. He also realized that maybe he had made a mistake and should let the cavalry fight out. Although it was not too late, he After hesitating, the cavalry rushed out, what about the defense here? As long as a thousand people can break through the gate of the village, it will be difficult for the cavalry to come back.

  Ke Mei hesitated for a long time, but finally did not order the cavalry to fight out, "Today is the time of life and death for our tribe, everyone go all out!" Ke Mei shouted hoarsely.

  At this time, his heart was full of endless regrets, why did he listen to Ye Lifeng's advice to plunder the wealth of the Han people, but his greed caused a catastrophe to the whole clan.

  At this time, a cavalry soldier of the Song Army galloped forward and shouted sharply: "Li Tongzhi has an order. Within a quarter of an hour, you can surrender and accept punishment. Otherwise, if you break through the stronghold, the whole family will be wiped out!"

The cavalrymen of the Song army yelled three times and rushed away. At this time, all the soldiers of the Feituo tribe turned their heads to look at the leader Ke Mei, but Ke Mei didn't make a decision right away. Mei was disappointed, and all the generals unanimously demanded to fight the Song army to the death and never surrender.

  Ke Mei could only heave a long sigh, "God's will!"

   Time passed little by little, but the other party still showed no sign of surrendering. At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Regulation, the time has come!"

  Li Yanqing ordered coldly: "Pass on my order, after Dazhai is captured, all men except children will be killed, and those who **** women will be beheaded!"

  The order was ordered, the attack began, and the fierce drums of war 'Boom! Boom! Boom! When the sound was sounded, Han Shizhong commanded two thousand crossbow troops to kill the gate of the village, and used the **** arm crossbow to suppress the enemy's arrows in the village from a hundred steps away. Pile up outside the steps, this is the experience of the Song army attacking the enemy's stronghold in Fuzhou, to prevent the enemy's giant wooden formation.

Ke Mei's face suddenly changed. If the slopes up the mountain were filled with sandbags, it would indeed affect the power of the giant wooden array. The reason why the generals refused to surrender was because nearly ten thousand giant trees were prepared in the village. A defensive weapon saved up but never used.

   It's just that Ke Mei never dreamed that these sandbags would not go uphill at all.
