The task of fighting, especially the field resistance war, fell on the head of the strong and strong Shifter, whose 100,000 troops were going to fight to the death with the Jin army. And the 20,000-strong army of Yelu Ma Wu had only one mission, and that was to pry open the gate of the Huanglong Mansion and make this last big city in the north undefended.

Yelu Ma Wu finally accepted the arrangement of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and no longer fought with Xiao Gan for anything, but decided his future future based on his military merits.

Xiao Gan's task is to completely annihilate the grassland tribal alliance, so that the grassland is no longer a plate of scattered sand, but will eventually fall under the rule of the Han Dynasty and become the territory of the Han Dynasty. Yelu Mawu's mission was to assist in the capture of the Yellow Dragon Mansion.

Yelu Ma Wu knew why he would lose to Xiao Gan in the final battle, or because Xiao Gan's sister performed better after entering the palace and won the favor of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, in this competition, I am at an all-round disadvantage, and it is difficult to reverse.

You can't just look at the present, Yelu Mawu knows that Xiao Gan's momentum is only temporary, he can't last long, and he is not as good as himself in the end. You must know that Xiao Gan's purge of the grassland tribe is destined to be unpopular, and if it is not good, it will cause a backlash from the entire grassland tribe.

However, Xiao Gan's bad luck is a later story, at the moment, Yelu Ma Wu is indeed inferior to the other party, but taking the Huanglong Mansion is also a great achievement, it depends on how he gets along with Yilawo in the future, which is very important, and it is also the most important mission given to him by the Son of Heaven.

Advancing from the grassland into the bitter cold land of Huanglongfu, this is a severe test for Yelu Ma Wu, fortunately it is from May, the north is not so flustered, if it is in October, it is absolutely difficult to move an inch. Nevertheless, the army walked for a whole month and a half, mainly because the transportation of large siege equipment was too cumbersome, which brought great immutability to the march.

It was not until mid-to-late July that the 20,000-strong army arrived at the town of Wula, a hundred miles away from Huanglong Prefecture, and of course the 100,000-strong army of the Shifter was also here, and the two sides discussed the final battle plan after a round.

He knew that Yelu Ma Wu represented the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, so he humbly handed over the command, which was an attitude, after all, he was a general, and he had not yet made military achievements for the Han Dynasty, and had not yet been recognized by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Yelu Mawu's background is much higher than his own, and for the Khitans, the influence of the Xi people is much greater than his own.

How could the wise Yelu Ma Wu be so stupid as to take the lead, he privately found the Shifter, and said very reverently: "Your Majesty sent me here this time, mainly to cooperate with you to take the Huanglong Mansion, therefore, you sing the leading role in this battle, and I will do it." We will all be generals of the Han Dynasty in the future, and we must be closer and closer. Besides, we are all Khitans, who is the protagonist is different, so don't be humble. ”

It's just polite, in fact, how could he, with an army of 100,000, easily hand over the command? However, this attitude still has to be had, once it is determined by the emperor of the Han Dynasty to support the army and respect himself, then the future is destined to have no future.

Since Yelu Ma Wu said that, there was no need for him to be humble, and he smiled and said, "We are all the same clan, and we should be closer and closer. I don't know what specific will the Son of Heaven has this time, and I hope to give advice. ”

"The north is stable, just these four words. However, we must understand the essence of these four words, that is, the entire north is not allowed to have a little Jurchen armed existence, just follow the previous steppe policy. ”

Yelu Ma Wu said it very easily, but it sounded very heavy, but he also knew that this was obviously not the meaning of the Son of Heaven, even if it was the meaning of the Son of Heaven, it would eventually become his own meaning, and he finally understood why Ye Lu Ma Wu was unwilling to take the initiative.

Obviously, who holds the initiative in this battle of Huanglongfu and who has to bear the blame for this matter, this is very obvious. Now Yelu Ma Wu is unwilling to carry the black cauldron, so he can only carry it by the Shifter, this is the mission.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "I understand, this time, does Your Majesty have any requirements for how long to take the Huanglong Mansion?" ”

"No, but it's best to end the battle before winter, you must know that the Huanglong Mansion is very cold, and the battle is not easy to delay indefinitely. Moreover, the Great Han Iron Cavalry has entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and the marshals of all walks of life have expressed their stance that the battle must be ended by the end of this year, and when the spring flowers bloom in the next year, the Son of Heaven will be invited to inspect the north. You should be well aware of this. ”

Yelu Ma Wu said very easily, but it doesn't sound easy at all, it's the end of July now, there are not a few months left before winter, a few months to destroy the Jin country, it seems that the Han is already fully prepared, so it seems that the civil strife in the Jin country is all in the hands of the Han, maybe all this is the Han behind the scenes.

As soon as I thought that all this was operated by the big man behind my back, I felt a chill down my back, and the strength of the big man was incomparable, which made people feel frightened.

Seeing that he was silent, Yelu Mawu said: "It's not so difficult to take the Huanglong Mansion, this time I came here with heavy artillery, specifically to blast open the city gate, so it should be easy to take the Huanglong Mansion, you don't have any ideological baggage." ”

"I don't have any ideological baggage, I mean, let's solve the periphery of the Huanglong Mansion first, force Wanyan Fushou to a dead end, and let him get into the full set by himself and open the door to death."

He said very firmly: "The total strength of the entire north is barely more than 100,000, plus the young and strong forces that Wanyan Fushou can mobilize, the total strength will not be 200,000, but it must be distributed in more than a dozen cities, in this state, it is suitable for us to break through." Besides, there is a shortage of materials in the north, and even if we arm the young and middle-aged, we don't have so many weapons and armor, so it is not very difficult for us to destroy Wanyan Fushou. I mean, don't bombard the city with heavy artillery just yet, just use trebuchets to constantly harass the Yellow Dragon Mansion. ”

"I understand, you mean to pull out all the strongholds on the periphery of Huanglong Mansion, and what is Yan Fushou's reaction after reading it. If Yan Fushou goes out of the city to rescue, we will take the Huanglong Mansion as soon as possible and keep this guy out of the Huanglong Mansion. If he is a turtle with a shrunken head, then we will turn Huanglongfu into a dead city, right? ”

"That's what I mean, I'm sure Wanyan Fushou INDIGO will make a stupid choice, in that case, we can take the Huanglong Mansion in one to two months."

He still knows a lot about Wanyan Fushou, this guy does have a set of wars, but at this moment, he is already at the end of his crossbow, and he has lost his ambition. Moreover, Wanyan Fushou, who was charged with killing the king, was unpopular, and it was difficult for his subordinates to serve with their lives, so in this case, besieging Huanglong Mansion and breaking the rest of the strongholds was the easiest way to do it, with the least casualties.

After pondering for a moment, Yelu Mawu said, "Your Majesty's combat idea is to annihilate the enemy's living forces to the greatest extent and preserve our strength to the greatest extent. Your Majesty doesn't want your 100,000 army to lose more than half after the Battle of Huanglongfu. You must know that we will eventually have to go west, and preserving our vital forces is the best way to fight. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is the first holy lord of the ages, and the death of a minister is not enough to repay Your Majesty's grace."

This time it's not that he is acting, he is really moved, these days this guy has been wondering if the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will be jealous of the military power in his hands, and finally let the 100,000 army be consumed in the battle of Huanglong Mansion. Now it seems that he is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. The Son of Heaven has such a mind, and it is destined that the Han will sweep the world.

Yelu Mawu said: "My idea is to dig a deep pit outside the Huanglong Mansion to block the connection between the Huanglong Mansion and the outside world, so that Wanyan Fushou will not be able to go out of the city to help. That way, you'll have enough energy to eradicate the periphery. After the perimeter is cleared, we will bombard the city and take the Huanglong Mansion, which is slow and consumes a lot of manpower, but it is the least casualty. Your Majesty has always believed in a sentence, the army of the world is the army of the Han Dynasty, and the people of the world are the people of the Han Dynasty, and it is necessary to protect the people of Li to the greatest extent and minimize the death of soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Yelu Mawu paused for a long time before continuing: "One thing must be emphasized to you, the iron law of the Han Dynasty, the Han army must not intrude on the people, and they must not plunder the wealth of the people. Specifically, I will let the marching Sima tell you. No soldier should be executed for violating the iron laws of the Han Dynasty, without exception. The reason why the Han army was welcomed by the local people everywhere it went was that the iron law was ruthless, and the autumn did not commit any crimes. Soldiers should be shrouded in horse leather and stained with blood, not because of the iron law of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can remember these and don't offend. The iron law of the Han Dynasty, without exception. Even if you and I rob the wealth of the people and rob the women, we will still be punished. ”

It seems that wherever the Han army went, it was not a legend that Qiu did not commit any crimes. Yi Rawo said with a smile: "The Han army receives super-value military salaries, and generals cannot deduct military salaries from soldiers, and Qiu has not committed any crimes, I know this, and I must strictly restrain my subordinates." Since we have joined the Han army, we must be bound by the iron laws of the Han Dynasty, without exception. ”

"Let's rectify military discipline first, after all, this is too difficult for soldiers."

Yelu Ma Wu knew that it was still difficult for this army to become an iron army without any offense, but this still had to remind the Shifter, so that in the end, there were countless soldiers, and the generals were executed for violating the iron law.

Originally, he thought that it was very easy to rectify military discipline, but after the real start, he understood that it was too difficult to do Qiu without committing any crimes, but since he had already returned to the Han Dynasty, he had to abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty.

The rectification of military discipline does not delay time, and it does not affect the army to dig trenches at all, you must know that this time the trenches are wider and deeper than the previous moat, and they are to trap the Jin army in the Huanglong Mansion.

It was only at this time that the people of the north were looking forward to an army to destroy this army that had lost their conscience, so at a high price, they soon recruited tens of thousands of young adults to dig trenches.

You must know that tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people mean that Huanglong Mansion is dozens of miles away, and there is no young strong enough to supply Yan Fushou with the conscription, and this trick is simply a draw from the bottom of the kettle.

Before, Wanyan Fushou thought about conscription, but conscription had to feed these troops, and there was a shortage of materials, so this guy was a little hesitant. But it was precisely because of hesitation that he lost the opportunity to requisition tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which was fatal for Wanyan Fushou.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and it is useless for anyone to regret it. Wanyan Fushou soon knew that the outside of the Shifter Nest was sending troops to dig a trench, and immediately understood what was going on, he was not so stupid, let the other party trap him, so he ordered an attack to break the enemy's cage policy.

Eight thousand cavalry came out from the four gates, in a vain attempt to use cavalry to drive away the people who were digging trenches, but the matter was far from being as simple as Yan Fushou thought. When digging the trench, he expected that Wanyan Fushou would send troops to attack, so he sent out a large army to defend it.

He knew that Wanyan Fushou would not send too many soldiers at the beginning, just to expel the people, and it was not a decisive battle, so there was no need to break the net as soon as he came up.

Zhang Hai was mainly responsible for protecting these people from digging trenches from intrusion this time, so he made careful arrangements, and the soldiers all wore huge shields to prevent the enemy from shooting the people, and at the same time, he also borrowed the musket team from Yelu Ma Wu, and also borrowed the drills to deal with the cavalry's anti-aircraft guns, this kind of small anti-aircraft guns were only pushed to the battlefield, and they were designed to deal with cavalry.

Each flat-fire gun weighs only a few dozen pounds, is relatively simple to operate, and has a long range, but its lethality is limited, so it is in

The shells were filled with pieces of broken iron and nails. There was a bit of an explosion, and none of the cavalry within a radius of one zhang was spared. There is no egg for siege. But when used against cavalry, it is simply a deadly nemesis.

Flat-fire cannon, a single-soldier operated cannon, is the nemesis of cavalry, but it has not yet been pushed to the battlefield, it can be said to be a secret weapon, this is the first time it has been used, and it is destined to go down in history in this duel.

Zhang Hai is a Liaodi Han, although there is no breath of the Central Plains, but the acceptance of the Central Plains culture is still more than others, he has been studying the rise of the Han Dynasty over the years, studying the achievements of the Han army sweeping the world, there is a very important factor in this is the use of firearms. It is necessary to know that the number of soldiers, combat effectiveness, and the role played by tactics in war cannot be infinitely magnified, and once it reaches a certain level, it is difficult to break through again. However, firearms are different and can evolve continuously, and it can be said that they will play a decisive role in future wars, which is why Zhang Hai borrowed anti-aircraft guns and musketeers.
