No one would have thought that this winter would be so cold, not even the Goguryeo and Mohe people who have been living here.
The Goguryeo people who left the warm city for the first time and once again lived in tents, caves, and caves felt the deep malice from winter. Their ancestors had experienced the wind and snow here, but that didn't mean they could survive it safely.
When winter came, the unprepared Goguryeo people began to feel at a loss when faced with the sudden snowstorm. When snowstorms came in the past, you could hide in the city or in your house and let the snow beat the wind, but what should you do now?
Yuan Taizuo was forced to retreat at the beginning. Time was urgent and preparations were not sufficient. Most of the items carried by various ministries were military supplies, but some common daily items were discarded without attention.
Then they were extorted of a large amount of supplies during negotiations with the Limo people. In addition, most of the people who came to defect later came with only one weapon. At this time, there were more people than supplies.
When winter comes, the disaster for the Goguryeo people also comes.
In the cold storm and snow, people's resistance to the cold was directly destroyed. Those people who have no shelter from the wind and rain cannot stand in the way of this cold winter. More and more people froze to death in the camp, first the elderly and children, and later adults. In the end, countless people froze to death in the snow throughout the entire camp, and corpses like ice sculptures were everywhere.
Later, in order to keep out the cold, the Goguryeo people dug a lot of nests like the Mohe people. At the beginning, the Goguryeo people were inexperienced and dug extremely deep holes. In winter, it is tightly closed, but the air is not flowing smoothly and it suffocates to death. Throughout the camp, the pits everywhere became natural graves, where countless people were buried.
In addition to the cold, there is also hunger.
The people who fled to the north had no savings at all, and the army had already taken away the little grain they had. Yuan Taizuo ordered food rationing, but there was simply not enough food to supply these ordinary people. Countless people waited for food in the cold wind until they died.
Yuan Taizuo worked hard to raise some food, but he had 60,000 to 70,000 troops and 30,000 to 40,000 ordinary people. A large tribe of more than 100,000 people was exhausted, and the little food they had was just a drop in the bucket.
Yuan Taizuo also wanted to plunder enough food through war.
But at this time, it was so cold that he could not ride a horse, draw his bow, or walk. Yuan Taizuo could not attack the surrounding troops even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Goguryeo was desperate and about to perish, Yuan Taizuo had no choice but to ask for help from the Mohe people and asked them to support them with some food to survive the winter.
But at this time, Mohe people were not having a good time either. Various ministries have prepared a lot of food for the winter, but who made this winter so cold? The original preparations for the winter are just scratching the surface at this time.
In the end, they were worried that all the Goguryeo people would freeze to death in one winter, and they could not defeat the Sui people on their own, so they took the initiative to provide Goguryeo with some food for them to survive the winter.
These grains are still a drop in the bucket, and the symbol is greater than the reality, so the Goguryeo people still live a life of hunger.
Yuan Taizuo had no choice but to concentrate the only food he had on supplying the army. When there was not enough food, they killed horses, cattle, and sheep to make ends meet. In the end, all the horses, cattle, and sheep were eaten, and they ended up in the miserable situation of cannibalism.
Throughout the winter, the Goguryeo people lived like animals, eating dead people and even living people.
??These ethnic groups from Donghu may have the habit of cannibalism in their bones, such as the Xianbei people who regard the Han people as two-legged sheep.
At first, they ate the dead people secretly, but then there were too many people, and everyone ate them openly. Later, seeing that there was not enough food, the upper ruling class headed by Gao Jianwu and Yuan Taizuo also took the lead in cannibalism.
First there were dead people, and then they didn¡¯t even care about the living. Children and women are the most beloved, so women and children in the entire tribe suffered.
Gao Jianwu has built up his reputation several times before and has also accumulated some power. Coupled with the arrival of Princess Pinggang with more than 10,000 people, Gao Jianwu finally had a reliable army around him. Coupled with the support of a group of Goguryeo veterans who escaped with Princess Pinggang, Gao Jianwu finally gained some power.
But at this time, everyone¡¯s work is focused on finding food, and the relationship between the two parties is fairly stable. Everyone knows that their status depends on Goguryeo. If Goguryeo is gone, they will be the group of people who will suffer the worst fate.
The two sides reluctantly work together.
Gao Jianwu is like a movie king, leading his soldiers to eat human flesh while boosting the morale of the army.
By feeding on human flesh, Goguryeo managed to protect itself as much as possiblecaptured most of the army. Because of eating human flesh, the entire Goguryeo army had blood-red eyes and ferocious faces, which added a bit of murderous intent to the army.
By the spring of the next year, more than 10,000 of Goguryeo's more than 60,000 troops had frozen and starved to death, while only a few thousand of the 30,000 to 40,000 civilians were left.
At this time, there is only one road left in front of the Goguryeo people. If they cannot fight back to Liaodong, they will not be able to survive this winter.
And the situation of the Mohe people is not much better than that of the Goguryeo people.
In this cold winter, they were also ravaged by wind and snow, their population was reduced, and their livestock died. The entire Mohe tribe was in ruins.
Faced with this situation, everyone could not sit still. For the Mohe people, every winter is a disaster with heavy losses. To make up for these losses, we can only rely on living and plundering in other seasons.
There are tribes that have suffered disasters all around. If you want to seek compensation, you can only choose the Sui people. The war was therefore destined to break out from the start.
As the weather got warmer, the Mohe people, who wanted to take a preemptive strike, gathered all their ministries and prepared to go south to Liaodong.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
When the Goguryeo and Mohe people were preparing to invade the south, Huang Mingyuan was not idle.
Since the end of February, Huang Mingyuan ordered General Zhang Wenyuan to lead the Youtun Guards to Kaiyuan City to serve as the flank of Fuyu City to guard against the Limo people. At the same time, six battalions of the Zhentun Army set out together, all stationed in Kaiyuan City, under the command of Zhang Wenyuan. At this point, Huang Mingyuan had assembled two groups of 110,000 troops on the northern front, waiting for the decisive battle with the Mohe people.
At the same time, Huang Mingyuan ordered General Cai Zhiyun to lead three battalions of the Zhenliao Army and the Zhentun Army to garrison the inner city and join Gao Yuanbei's Baishan Army. A total of 50,000 troops were commanded by Cai Zhiyun. Their troops will move north along the Limo River and outflank the Mohe people's retreat.
The three groups had 160,000 troops. Huang Mingyuan decided to completely solve the hidden dangers of Goguryeo and Limo people this time, and at the same time expand the territory to the north of Limo River, occupy Vladivostok, the best deep-water and ice-free port in Northeast Asia in the future, and completely open up the northern route. Maritime Silk Road.
Huang Mingyuan's strategic blueprint is great, and he is prepared to complete this war in one battle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
