"By the way, Commander, what about Wanyan Huonu and the Wanyan Sigong he caught?" Feng Sanhu asked.

Xu Shiyang thought for a while, and then said: "Wanyan was considered a high-ranking noble heir of the Tartars before, since he surrendered on his own initiative, he was counted as a commoner according to the rules, and he was transferred to the Blue Army Brigade." ”

Wanyan Huonu was familiar with the tactics of the Jurchens, and even, as a general who often fought against the Muguls and the Jurchens, he was also very familiar with the Tartars who had not had much contact with these Qi troops.

It's a treasure trove of intelligence, both strategically and tactically.

"Do you want him to lead the Blues? Or give him back the tartars that belonged to his family and let him lead? ”

Feng Sanhu suggested:

"Wanyan is a high-ranking nobleman, because of the defeat before, she was suppressed very badly by the Tartar pseudo-prince, and she has been a horse herding slave for almost two years."

"If we treat him favorably, we can play the role of a horse bone in the gold market, and other foreign Tartar nobles may also surrender to us."

"Nope." Xu Shiyang categorically vetoed: "He is a Tartar, he and his father are both one of the culprits of the withering of the Central Plains, and it is already preferential treatment if I don't kill him!" ”

"Whether the Tartar nobles are willing to surrender or not, it doesn't matter to me at all! I don't want to buy their loyalty, it's better to die if you're not loyal! ”

"Although the Blue Army Brigade is full of Tartars, it is also part of the New Army, and it is up to him to decide whether or not to promote him."

"Three tigers, you have to remember what is the foundation of our footing."

Xu Shiyang said earnestly:

"Our nation! Our people! ”

"It doesn't matter if there are anything else or not!"

……

The rate of immigration in Qi Province is not fast.

It began in July of the third year of Jianxing, and it was not until the end of September that the first convoy of immigrants arrived in Yulinpu under the escort of the field army.

During this period, the Jin army sent a large number of cavalry, bypassing the main force of the field army, and divided into small groups to attack the emigrant convoys that lacked the cover of the field army.

In the battle with the militia, Qijin both sides won and lost:

Eight Jin army raid teams suffered heavy losses, and two of them were even completely wiped out.

But they also broke 5 convoys and killed many people.

In the later period, the field army sent a large number of light cavalry to maneuver between the convoys, and as a result, several cavalry encounters broke out with the Jin cavalry, and both sides lost almost 2 or 300 men each.

In the end, most of the Jin army raiders gave up this somewhat costly blood exchange operation and gradually withdrew to Gaizhou.

In fact, if you calculate it carefully, the losses of the two armies in the skirmishes in these months are not light, but the Qi army exchanged the lives of the militia for the most elite Tartar armored cavalry, and this exchange is definitely something that the Tartars are not willing to accept.

Therefore, now they have stopped this kind of attack that does not outweigh the losses and concentrated their forces to prepare for a decisive battle.

On the fifth day of October, the Qi Provincial Navy attacked and occupied Lianyun Island again, and a day later, 2,000 marines landed in the western coastal area of Gaizhou and quickly took control of the section near the mouth of the Qinghe River.

That night, after an hour of hard work, the Qi army sappers set up three pontoon bridges on the Qing River, and then in only two hours, more than 22,000 people of the Qi army field army quickly crossed the Qing River and approached to cover it!

In this operation, the Qi army invested four field brigades in Ding, Zhen, Zhi, and Jing, Xu Shiyang's Central Army Guards, 10 companies each of cuirassiers, dragoons, and chasseurs, and 10 companies of marines and army heavy artillery.

In addition to this, there were 4,000 militiamen with guns who volunteered to fight.

These people were simply selected by the field army, and were mainly armed with muskets, and most of them were retired veterans of the New Army or militiamen with previous combat experience.

The Qi army suddenly accelerated, but the Tartars were a little caught off guard.

Because their main force could not stay long in the exhausted Gaizhou, they could only wait in Yaozhou, which was closer to the Liaozhong Plain - here, they could get food supplies nearby, and the consumption on the road would be a little less.

The third prince of Jurchen originally thought that the Qi army would probably stay by the Qinghe River for about a day (with a small number of armor soldiers to block the attack), plus the time that the Gaizhou defenders could hold on, enough for the Dajin army with more cavalry to arrive on the battlefield.

This is a defensive counterattack battle that the Jurchens are not familiar with, if they can win, after driving back the Qi army, except for a small number of elite armor soldiers who will pursue in the direction of the Qi army to expand the results of the battle, the rest of the men and horses must quickly return to Liaozhong - the purpose is also to save food.

As a result, on the day the Qi army arrived on the south bank of the Qing River, the river crossing was completed, and the main force of the Qi army had already arrived in Gaizhou before dawn the next day.

At this time, the person who was put on the throne in Gaizhou as a substitute for the dead ghost was still extremely strong from the outside, and this time it was Su Shi Lie Zhining.

Eight years ago, Xu Shiyang eliminated one of his subordinates, starting the first military confrontation between the Qi army and the Jurchens.

At that time, a Tartar Mouke could coerce the Xu family not to resist, and Xu Shiyang himself was determined to attack the Tartars at night with the determination to defeat the battle.

Today, eight years later, the Qi army has developed to the point where it can coerce the entire Jurchen army with less than half of its standing military strength, but it has not yet been determined to win.

……

In the early morning of the sixth day of October, the sky was overcast and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Wearing a well-made silver-white iron armor, standing on the ruined Gaizhou city wall, he looked at it with his eyes.

Under the city, the bayonets of the Qi army are like a forest, the flags are like the sea, the soldiers of the Qi army wearing red military uniforms are lined up one by one, forming several huge phalanxes, standing neatly under the city, tens of thousands of people in the whole army have no voice, only a few light horsemen gallop between the phalanxes, conveying various military orders.

A solemn atmosphere came to his face, making Su Shi Lie Zhining's mood sink all the way, sinking, almost sinking into hell.

"I can't keep it." The Bo Jili muttered to himself, "It's impossible to hold on. ”

When he came to defend Gaizhou, Su Shi Lie Zhining only had 6,000 armor soldiers in his hands, and then there were nearly 15,000 Aha of various tribes, and it seemed that the strength was not much less than that of the Qi army.

However, there is a world of difference in combat effectiveness.

Previously, Fu Shi Lie Zhining sent a large number of elite cavalry to attack the Qi army's militia convoy, close to a thousand, these are all elites, and the losses cannot be replenished now.

And then, so many elite losses, only some of the enemy's second- and third-rate troops were exchanged for .......

In this way, the big golden armor soldiers are not the opponents of the Qi army at all, and Aha doesn't even need to think about it, and he can't mention it at all.

It seems that all he can rely on now is a few dozen pieces of various artillery and the muskets equipped for Ahha.

But these things, in essence, were invented on the other side, and the enemy must know better than himself what the advantages and disadvantages of these weapons are.

What's more, the Qi army also has much more guns than itself.

"Is this the end for me?"

Fu Shi Lie Zhining suddenly had a feeling that the hero was about to end.

Now there are only two non-clan clans in Dajin, and after this time, there will probably be only Wanyan Zonghan left, right?

"But ......"

Su Shi Lie Zhining smashed his fist on the battlements of Gaizhou.

"I must be loyal to Daikin!"

"Come on, Hangou!"
