Chapter 68: The Surrender (II)

After the surrender of the 50,000 Ji army led by the Suchuan garrison general Jin Fazhuan, the 500,000 troops of the Ji State to resist the Liao were all annihilated or captured by the Liao army, except for the more than 80,000 soldiers led by Gao Min, the prime minister of Pingcheng.

The Liao army's nearly 400,000 troops surrounded the Ji army and groups in the defense line around Pingcheng, waiting for annihilation.

After discussing with Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yi and others, Ji Kang believed that the current Ji State was at the end of the road, there was basically not much resistance, and the war would end soon.

Under these circumstances, Ji Kang ordered that the Liao army arrange for the Liao army to keep prisoners of war under the age of 18 or even over 30 years old outside the Jidi guard. The rest of the prisoners of war of the Ji army were all escorted back to Liaodi, especially the three counties of Xing'an, which were newly established last year, for transformation.

He also sent people to inform the Jun Xiangju Xin and others in Xiangping City of the current situation on the front line, and asked all counties and departments in Liaodi to transfer personnel and materials to seize the time to make all preparations for accepting the Ji State.

On the other hand, Bo Wang, the commander of the Liao army in the east, was informed to lead his army south to join the main army in the west, and ordered to sweep away all resistance forces in the south.

In order to end this war against the Kei country as soon as possible and completely pacify the Kei country. The general Rong Yan suggested that his own prince did not need to delay this battle any longer.

For Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army in Pingcheng, he led more than 80,000 Ji troops. If the Ji army continues to resist, it will be resolutely and decisively annihilated to deter all the forces in the Ji country that dare to resist the Liao army.

After Ji Kang thought about it, he agreed with [No Error .info] Rong Yan's opinion. After the army reached the periphery of Pingcheng, it swept away all the Ji troops on the periphery of Pingcheng within two days, and annihilated more than 20,000 Ji troops.

On 13 April, nearly 400,000 Liao troops arrived at the city of Pingcheng, and surrounded the remaining 60,000 troops in Pingcheng.

The news of the surrender of the Suchuan Ji army soon spread to Pingcheng.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, after hearing this, sighed and sighed in his own house in Pingcheng, as if he was in a dream.

I thought of the spirit of leading hundreds of thousands of Ji troops and going out on the expedition. I never thought that in less than two months, I would fall into such a situation.

And the generals of the Ji army in Pingcheng are all panicked now, not to mention the soldiers below. Now we all know that the end of stubborn resistance can only be a dead end.

In the afternoon, after learning of the arrival of the main force of the Liao army, Gao Min led the generals of the Ji army to the head of Pingcheng City to visit the Liao army camp under Pingcheng.

And they stood at the head of the city, looking afar off.

I saw that more than ten miles away, the large battalions of the Liao army were endless, and the regiments surrounded Pingcheng. The weather in the camp of the Liao army is strict, and in the camp, there is one shift and one tent, and one regiment and one camp, with clear distinction and good order.

In the camp, the flags are like a forest, and under the breeze, the bright military flags are like red waves, setting off waves of waves.

Under the illumination of the setting sun, a solemn atmosphere was abundant in the barracks. Although it was far away from the city, this momentum came to the face, making the Ji army feel a feeling of suffocation.

Gao Min looked at the generals of the Ji army and found that all the generals were pale and silent.

At this moment, in the big tent of Ji Kang, the camp of the Liao army, Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian were talking about Ji Xiang Gaomin.

Ji Kang smiled and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Mr. Lu, judging from the information reported by the Intelligence Bureau, this Gao Min is a talent!" ”

After Lu Zhonglian listened to Ji Kang's words, he understood that his own prince and prince had a heart of love for talents again. smiled and said to Ji Kang: "It's rare that this Gao Min is still relatively honest, judging from the intelligence, since he became an official, he has been better to the leaders of Qian, and he can be regarded as loving the people like a son!" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhonglian suggested to Ji Kang again: "Son, it is better to send someone to Pingcheng City to persuade Gao Min to surrender to our army." ”

Ji Kang pondered for a while, and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Now there are more than 80,000 people in the Ji army in Pingcheng, and if our army attacks hard, it will ......." But "his hero, my enemy", there is no need to send someone to persuade him to surrender. Tomorrow let people shout and give Gao Min and even the Ji army one last chance to surrender. ”

Speaking of this, the young prince sneered, and then said to Lu Zhonglian: "Mr. Lu, just look at this Gao Min, do you know what to do!" This is to give him one last chance. If we are still stubborn and refuse to surrender, our Liao army will not hesitate to kill, and after the city is broken, we will take their heads to pay tribute to our soldiers who died in battle. ”

Lu Zhonglian saw Ji Kang like this, and knew that his own prince and marquis had already been bound to win the Ji Kingdom. Tomorrow, people will shout to let the 60,000 Ji army led by Gao Min surrender, which is also to reduce the losses of the Liao army itself.

If this Gao Min surrenders obediently, it is estimated that he can spare his life. If you don't surrender, it's still a trivial matter to die yourself. I'm afraid that after the fall of the Kei Kingdom, even Gao Min's family will inevitably be purged.

On April 14, under the city of Pingcheng.

In the early morning, the horn of the Liao army camp sounded, and the army lined up neatly and pressed towards Pingcheng. In the Liao army's formation, the flags fluttered, and the soldiers were all wearing red battle robes and armor, like a red ocean, slowly flowing towards Pingcheng.

The Ji army at the head of Pingcheng City, seeing this, trembled and couldn't help themselves.

The young prince sat on the main seat on the command platform built by the Liao army. Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yi and many other generals of the Liao army stood on both sides.

Ji Kang saw the army standing at the foot of Pingcheng City, raised his binoculars and looked at the head of Pingcheng City, and found that it was densely packed with generals and soldiers of the Ji Army, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He put down the telescope in his hand and ordered: "Order someone to shout, let the Ji army surrender, and give the Ji army half an hour." If we don't respond by then, our army can attack the city, break the city, never surrender, and kill it all. ”

Ordered, out of the Liao army camp, one or twenty Liao soldiers with a large horn. Standing at the foot of Pingcheng City, holding a loudspeaker, they shouted loudly to the Ji army at the head of Pingcheng City:

"Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army in the city, and all the soldiers listen, I will be informed by the order of the Liaocheng Jun of Yan State. I, Liaocheng Jun of Liaodi, am the authentic descendant of the Zhou family, and I am noble and noble. ”

"The current lord of the Ji country does not respect the mandate of heaven and offends my land for no reason. As a result, there were many dead and injured among the people of Liaodi. The king of Liaocheng was ordered by heaven to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to personally crusade against the lord of the Ji country. ”

"Now all the 100,000 Ji troops in the east have surrendered, and the 40,000 Ji troops who reinforced you have also been completely annihilated by our army, and the main general Sachs has been beheaded. Now you have been besieged by hundreds of thousands of our troops, and it is impossible to escape. ”

"The king of Liaocheng values virtue and ability, and does not hesitate to reward virtuous and talented people. Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army in the city, and the generals of the Ji army, if they can lead their troops to surrender, the light ones will stay in their original positions, and the heavy ones will be given promotion rewards after assessment. ”

"If you resist stubbornly, you will resist the destiny of heaven. When our army breaks through the city, we will never surrender, and we will kill Guang'er and so on! Wait for half an hour to consider, return to obedience as soon as possible, and don't be obsessed. Otherwise, it's too late to regret it! ”

shouted three times, and the Liao army did not shout again. A gong sounded, and the army stood quietly under the city, waiting for the siege.

The voice of the Liao army's shouting was very loud, and it reached the ears of the 60,000 soldiers of the Ji army in the head of Pingcheng and the city. Seeing the actions of the Liao army today, I know that if I don't agree, I'm afraid that today will be my last day in the world.

Suddenly, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ji army in Pingcheng were all panicked.

Many of the generals of the Ji army at the head of Pingcheng City looked at the commander Gao Min, and their faces showed a look of despair.

Although there are more than 60,000 soldiers in Pingcheng, there is no food and grass now, and now the war horses have been killed. Even if the Liao army does not attack the city, in a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers in the city will also be starved to death.

Look at the hundreds of catapults standing in the Liao army formation outside the city. The Liao army shouted just now, saying that the city was broken today, which is absolutely not a lie. All the Ji troops understand that there is no way to survive at present, only to surrender!

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, who was standing at the head of Pingcheng City, did not speak for a long time. After a quarter of an hour, his body trembled slightly.

Then he turned around and looked at the soldiers in the city, and found that everyone was looking at him, with eager expressions on their faces, and some generals even showed hideous expressions.

Gao Min understood that if he did not agree to surrender, he was afraid that he would be separated immediately. You can not live, but others want to live!

"Pass the order, open the city gate, and all our troops will surrender to the Liao army." Prime Minister Gao Min's hoarse voice commanded in a low voice.

All the soldiers of the Ji army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "No." ”

After that, Gao Min didn't speak again, didn't pay attention to the people at the head of the city, turned around and walked down the city alone.

The generals of the Ji army found Gao Min's figure, and they were unusually depressed at the moment.

In the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, on April 15, Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, led the remaining 60,000 Ji troops to surrender to the Liao army in Pingcheng.

At this point, the armed forces of the entire Ji country have been completely swept away by the Liao army.

The capital was also exposed to the Liao army.

The fall of the Kei Kingdom is imminent.
