Killing a monarch is indeed not a trivial matter, at least, in Huining Mansion under the rule of Wan Yan Heng, it is more difficult to kill a monarch than to ascend to the sky. But it is precisely because it is super difficult, so once the king is killed, it will be a great credit. This question, without Mr. Song saying it, can be guessed by Wanyan Chengqi, but the difficulty coefficient is too great.

"It's okay, wealth and danger are sought, we don't do anything, we will kill Yan Heng directly, and dedicate this Huining Mansion to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, this matter, I hope Mr. Han will plan more from it." In the face of interests, Wan Yan Chengqi finally chose to betray Wan Yan Heng and use Yan Heng's head as a step for his advancement.

"Okay, then let's do a division of labor, I am responsible for assassinating Yan Heng, you are responsible for defending the city, neither can cause too many casualties to the Han army, but also can't make Yan Heng suspicious, this requirement is still very strict, you must do not leak, only in this way, you are the safest."

This battle is indeed a bit aggrieved, but Wan Yan Chengqi also knew that what Mr. Song said was right, but when it was implemented, he was more or less dissatisfied, but it was not easy, he could only take one step at a time, and then make timely corrections to minimize the casualties of the Han soldiers.

Regardless of whether the Han army camp surrendered, whether anyone opened the city gate, or whether anyone killed the king, the only thing they knew was to take Huining Mansion in ten days, and the rest was not considered at all.

There are hundreds of thousands of people, boundless.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, besieging Huining Mansion, have long filled the moat, and are waiting to attack the city. The moat, on weekdays, looks like it should be able to arch the acropolis well, but in fact, as long as the attacking side has enough troops and has enough time to prepare for the siege, the moat is useless.

The most typical solution to the moat problem is to fill the moat with the help of earthwork, stones, wood and other items, if the moat is connected to the river outside, it is not suitable for filling, and the bridge will be built with the help of tools to cross the moat.

Of course, the defending side will not watch the attacker fill in the moat, let alone watch the attacker build a bridge, so the long-range attack of both sides will start early.

Long-range attack, this is the most powerful place of the Han Dynasty, whether it is with artillery, muskets, or even crossbow arrows, it is to suppress the Jin army in all directions. This kind of long-range attack in order to fight for the moat, it is clearly abusing vegetables, and easily abusing and killing the Jin army, this is definitely an unequal duel.

Regarding the battle for the moat, it only lasted two hours, and after the Jin army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, it gave up protecting the moat, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to abandon the first line of defense.

In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Emperor Wanyan Heng of the Jin State took the initiative to give up the protection of the moat, which seemed to him to be the most wise thing, but in fact, it was definitely self-defeating, without the arch guard of the moat, the Han Iron Army would quickly advance under the city and start a siege battle.

Whether to defend the city or go out of the city to fight, there was a long and fierce quarrel among the Jin army. At that time, Wanyan Chengqi did not have the idea of defecting, he advocated going out of the city to face the battle, after all, the Jin army was the most powerful, and the most proud was the cavalry, and I believed that the two sides had a large-scale cavalry frontal encounter, and the Jin army had an advantage and could repel the Han army.

In fact, Wanyan Chengqi's point of view is right, the only place where the Jin army is stronger than the Han army may be cavalry combat, but the advantage is not obvious, after all, the total strength of the Han army is as high as 400,000, which is twice that of the Jin army, even if it is an encounter, the Jin army may not be able to bargain.

Wan Yan Chengqi's view was finally refuted by the Son of Heaven, in Wan Yan Heng's view, the advantage of the Jin army's cavalry was not enough to defeat the Han army, and the current Han army has endless troops, it can be said that no matter how many casualties occur, it can quickly replenish the new army, which is equivalent to dry consumption and dragged the Jin army down. The encounter, even if it is won, is considered a small victory, and it cannot change the entire situation of the battle, and it cannot drive the Han army out of the territory of the Jin State.

Defending the city is the only choice, the city of Huiningfu is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the Jin army is ready to defend the city, it will be defended for a year and a half, and the Han army will definitely withdraw if it lacks food and grass supplies.

The end result of the argument was that the Jin army abandoned cavalry warfare, which they were best at, and chose the defense of the city, which they were not good at. This change in tactics brought about the betrayal of Wan Yan Chengqi, but unfortunately Wan Yan Heng would not know this.

Propaganda leaflets, what is the effect, to be honest, Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing, Yelu Mawu, Han Shizhong and others are not clear, they have no hope, but are actively preparing for the siege, each fighting for its own purposes, each using its own method to choose the siege plan.

Because the city was to be attacked the next day, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not hold a pre-war mobilization meeting, he delegated the power of persuasion to the hands of the four marshals, regardless of the process of attacking the city, as long as the result of the siege battle was won within ten days, as long as the Huining Mansion was taken within ten days, and the rest were ignored.

The Son of Heaven did not live in the barracks, and not only that, but the princes did not live in the barracks, but lived in a place called Cloud Town, which was twenty miles away from the battlefield, and it was supposed to be the only town around Huining Mansion that had residents.

In addition to the original inhabitants in Yunduo Town, the others were basically driven out of the Huining Mansion, including the rich families in the city, the common people, merchants, the families of the army, as well as the harem beauties of several kings such as Wan Yan Ling, Wan Yan Liang, Wan Yan Yong, and of course, there are also many family members of powerful people.

When Wan Yan Heng decided to live and die with Huining Mansion, he tried his best to drive out all the non-combatants, he felt that by doing so, he was breaking the kettle, so that the soldiers had no worries and could defend Huining Mansion with him, but he didn't know that he was digging a pit for himself.

The Son of Heaven lives in the town of Clouds, and there are 10,000 dragon guards stationed in the city, responsible for protecting the safety of His Majesty and the princes. The reason why he stayed away from the battlefield was that Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, had his own considerations, that is, he wanted the generals and marshals below to let go of their hands and feet and attack the city according to their own methods. You must know that during the Western Expedition, most of the battles will be fought separately, and it is very necessary for the generals to adapt to it in advance for the future Western Expedition.

Sure enough, without the supervision of the Son of Heaven, the burden on the shoulders of the four generalissimos was heavy, but at the same time, the marshals' ideas of war were opened, and their respective command arts were fully displayed.

The east gate of Huining Mansion is also known as Chaoyang Gate, and the one responsible for attacking the east gate is Yelu Mawu and 100,000 vassal troops, you must know that these 100,000 vassal troops have long been sinicized, wearing Han costumes and speaking Chinese, in fact, there is no difference from the Han army. The reason why it is called a vassal army is mainly related to the combat style of this army, or it retains the original wild and rough style of play, good at fighting downwind warfare, tactical cultivation, and slightly worse tactical discipline, and the shortcomings of headwind warfare will be infinitely magnified.

When attacking, the vassal army was as brave as ever, the three armies were dead, fearless of life and death, like a group of beasts out of the cage, crazy and fast sprint, their impact speed, impact force was far stronger than the Han army, which was related to the good physical fitness since childhood, and also related to the characteristics of this army. It was a bunch of beasts in human skin, wild and fierce.

Due to poor tactical discipline, once an unfavorable situation occurs on the battlefield, it is easy to collapse, and once it collapses, it will collapse and will never be able to turn back. But fortunately, after this army entered the war, there was no defeat, and it was more reflected in the bravery and toughness of the battle.

Yelu Mawu has long observed the situation of the east gate of Huining Mansion, among the four city gates, the east gate is the largest, this is the gate of commercial circulation in Huining Mansion on weekdays, after all, the purple gas comes from the east, and the commercial flow from here is more auspicious. The east gate is also the only city wall with only a side gate and no water gate. If you want to conquer the East Gate, you can only force the attack, and there is nothing vain.

Shenwei artillery, on the first day of this battle, Yelu Mawu did not plan to use artillery to bombard the east gate, you must know that the Jin army has been actively preparing for so long, even if it is bombarded with the east gate, it will be difficult to kill it on the first day, so that the battle for the city gate will be established, this kind of battle is extremely unfavorable to the attacking side, and it is obviously not the first choice.

The most terrible thing is that after entering the east gate, you will directly enter the urn city, and if you can't take the city, even if you take the east gate, the army will enter the urn city, which will cause huge casualties.

In this battle, taking Huining Mansion was the most basic task, and almost no one believed that the Jin army would be able to hold Huining Mansion. The question now is how to take Hoi Ninh in ten days and how to minimize casualties.

This battle was obviously not easy, and Yelu Mawu had gathered his ten commanders the night before to deploy a battle plan. On the first day, Yelu Mawu did not expect to take Huining Mansion, but on the first day, he had to fight with the momentum of the Han army and hit the Jin army psychologically.

Yelu Mawu opened and said: "The Jin army entered the Liao Kingdom and killed our people, you can say that you have a deep blood feud with us, today, I won't say much, then I should know what to do tomorrow." ”

"Revenge, revenge, revenge."

That captain had no relatives to be slaughtered, and none of them had a deep blood feud, so there was no need to mobilize at all, and they all geared up, eager to kill the city that night and kill those Jin soldiers.

Yelu Mawu made a gesture of pressing his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and he said meaningfully: "The iron law of the Han Dynasty is not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, and it is not allowed to harass the people. These are iron laws, and if you touch them, no one can save you. However, for those who resist stubbornly, it is necessary to eliminate all evil, kill them all, and leave no one behind. It is said that there are only 50,000 Jin troops left in the city, and there are no ordinary people, so there is no indiscriminate killing of innocents, do you understand? ”

"Understood." It's all said and done, if you still don't understand, then it's better not to be a captain, it's better to be a soldier to charge into battle.

Yelu Mawu took out the first military order, he glanced at the commander below and said: "Zhang Hai, you originally did not belong to the command of the commander, but you are brave in battle, flexible in play, the commander is very optimistic about you, tomorrow you take the lead, remember that in the army of the Han Dynasty, there is no sea tactics, but there is iron discipline, there is no Ming Jin, even if it is to fight to the last person, you must rush forward, in a word, there are only warriors who died in battle in the army of the Han Dynasty, and there are no cowardly misbreeds." Your task is simple: escort siege engines, ladders to the city walls, and use battering rams to hit the gates. Adequate protection is done to minimize casualties among soldiers. ”

"Order." Zhang Hai knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Han army, he had to show his real skills. The rewards and punishments in the Han army are clear, there are military merits, and the door to promotion can be opened at any time, of course, a Han soldier has a sword of heaven suspended above his head, if you violate the iron law, the gods can't save you.

The first task is often the most arduous and the most casual, and of course it is also the most advantageous when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds. Yelu Mawu handed over the first military order to Zhang Hai, which was also an opportunity for the other party to make contributions, and of course it was also an affirmation of Zhang Hai's ability.

The second military order was given to Yelu Yuan Zhen, this guy is Yelu Mawu's cousin, and the relationship between the two is very iron, of course, the reason why the second military order was handed over to Ye Lu Yuan Zhen is not because the virtuous do not avoid relatives, as long as this guy has the courage to be unstoppable, it can be said that he is a fierce general of the three armies, and it is very suitable to be responsible for the second round of attacks.

Yelu Mawu said: "The task of the second team is very simple, that is, they must kill the head of the city, and do not seek to take the head of the city, but without Mingjin, they are not allowed to go down to the head of the city, no matter how big the casualties are, they must occupy the head of the city." ”

The task of the second team is to fight the head of the bloody city, only the head of the bloody battle can fully suppress the Jin army, this is the first battle to fight with momentum, the fight is a good start, as long as it is the first day to suppress the Jin army at the east gate, then it is only a matter of time to take the east gate.

Yelu Mawu did not know the situation in Huining Mansion, it can be said that the siege of the city is to cross the river by feeling the stones, the first day is to test the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, the determination to defend the city, and lay a solid foundation for the second day of the comprehensive siege of the city.

Yelu Mawu took out the third military order, handed it to the commander of the ten thousand years, and said: "Use strong firepower to suppress the Jin army at the head of the city, and provide strong support for the second team to attack the city." ”

The fourth team is the reserve team, which chooses the most powerful time and node to attack according to the changes in the battlefield in front.

After all the arrangements were ready, Yelu Mawu asked everyone to go back early to rest, after all, everyone knows the destiny of heaven, no matter how prepared in advance, there will be many unexpected factors on the battlefield, which need to be adjusted, not static.

The next day, it was destined to be a bloody battle, although it sounded like the first battle, and there was no specific combat mission, but every captain knew that a good start was crucial. We must comprehensively suppress the Jin army, and as soon as we come up, we must take the absolute initiative to suppress the Jin army, and play the might of the Han army and the prestige of the Han army.
