With the tragic death of Fushi Lie Zhining, the battle in Gaizhou City quickly came to an end.

The defenders of the old county government finally opened the door and surrendered, and the Qi army captured more than 220 armor soldiers here, all of whom were elites with high status and strong combat effectiveness.

The Tartars from other directions opened the north gate of Gaizhou and fled in the direction of the Liaozhong Plain, but as Su Shi Lie Zhining guessed, none of them succeeded in escaping, and at a distance of less than 5 miles from the city, the Jin army was ruthlessly pursued by the Qi cavalry, and finally escaped with the main force of the Yaozhou Jin army, only less than three hundred.

Most of the Jin troops who remained in the city and failed to withdraw in time surrendered to the Qi army.

Because Gaizhou was dilapidated and had no residents, there were only more than 21,000 soldiers gathered in Gaizhou before the war.

After the battle, the results were counted, and the Qi army gathered nearly 3,000 corpses of the Jin army to be burned and buried outside the city, and later cleaned up the ruins, and successively found hundreds of enemy corpses buried under the city walls or forgotten in the corners.

If you count the enemies who escaped from the city and were pursued in the wilderness, the Qi army killed more than 4,000 Jin troops in Gaizhou and captured more than 15,000 more.

After Xu Shiyang entered the city, he immediately ordered the execution of the prisoners.

As usual, the Jurchens still choose five kills and one kill, and the others choose ten kills and one except for the Han Aha.

A total of 2,000 people were executed that day, and the head, together with the enemy killed in the battle, built a Jingguan ten miles north of the city of Gaizhou.

At the top of the Jingguan, there is the hideous head of Su Shi Lie Zhining.

This was used as a silent threat to the rest of the Tartars.

Half of the remaining captives were left behind to be used to rebuild the fortifications of Gaizhou, and the other half was sent to Fuzhou by sea, ready to be dispersed to the mainland for use as slaves.

……

A day after the end of the Battle of Gaizhou, Wanyan Zongbi led the forward troops of the Jin Army to pass by the freshly baked Jingguan, where the whole army stopped and did not dare to move for a long time.

In fact, the Jingguan, which is close to the 6,000 heads, is really nothing in the eyes of the Jurchens.

They've killed more people before.

When he killed the Khitan and Xi people more than 30 years ago; When he entered the customs and killed the Han people twenty years ago; Even recently, the Jin army went north to the Molongjiang River to kill more than 6,000 Jurchens.

But people are always prone to emotions like hurting things.

It is not difficult to understand that when you kill someone else, you feel fear when you are killed.

Wanyan Zongbi did not dare to continue his advance towards Gaizhou, so he ordered to camp ten miles north of Gaizhou City, and by the way, take back the heads of his son-in-law and other Jurchens and burn them.

His troops are a little more than that of Sushi Lie Zhining, but he has no obvious advantage, besides, his son-in-law is defending the city, and the city has been captured, and if he goes again, it will become a siege, and this little advantage in front of the Qi army who is good at defense is nothing.

Of course, Wanyan Zongbi would not wait in the same place, he sent a sentry to Gaizhou, ten miles away, to investigate.

It's just that the morale of the Jin army is not high, including those sent out.

They broke out a small-scale cavalry battle with the Qi cavalry, and in this kind of battle where they could not use the cavalry array to attack, the Jurchens had some advantages in horsemanship, but their morale was completely destroyed, and they were worried about being ambushed by the Qi army's long-range fire, so they did not dare to rush to a close distance to observe the situation in Gaizhou.

Therefore, although the exchange in the cavalry battle was slightly superior to that of the Shangjin army, the information they actually sent back was very small, and Wanyan Zongbi still didn't know what the situation was in Gaizhou now.

A day later, Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang led troops to join him.

At this time, the Jin army had the advantage of realigning the army in terms of strength, so the three princes once again regained their courage and approached the city of Gaizhou, which was ten miles away.

The delayed time gave the Qi army the opportunity to reorganize the Gaizhou defensive line.

The Qi army forced a large number of Jin prisoners to work day and night, and built a breastwork defense line around the city of Gaizhou itself, so that the attacking Jin army would suffer a three-dimensional blow from both the city wall and the breastwork, unless they made a detour to attack the south of the city where the city wall had not yet been repaired.

But in that case, the Jin army would have to bypass half of Gaizhou City, and the rear could be attacked by the Qi army at any time.

This is the dilemma of the Jin army now, they do not have the confidence that they can win by attacking from all sides, if they want to win, they can only concentrate their forces to attack one side, and only do simple defense and containment in the rest of the directions.

"We can only fight the north." Wanyan Zonggan said in a sad tone: "If you go to fight in the south, the other three gates must all send thousands of armor soldiers to guard them to prevent the Han dog from killing and counterattacking." ”

"You can't beat it from the north." Wanyan Zongwang said angrily: "The city wall here is complete, two walls!" And there are more than three lines of defense in the city. ”

He turned his head again and complained to Yan Zongbi: "Why didn't you rush forward with the whole army yesterday?" Maybe you can catch them off guard before the Han Dog finishes repairing the wall. ”

"They have hundreds of scouts, how can they be caught off guard?" Wanyan Zongbi argued: "I only have 8,000 armor soldiers, and the light soldiers are in ambush, can you rescue me?" ”

Wanyan Zonggan interrupted the two and complained to each other: "Don't argue about this now, Zhining didn't hold Gaizhou before we came, we have already lost half, and now we should think about how not to lose the other half." ”

If given the opportunity, no one would choose to increase their troops in batches, and it would be ideal for a large army to converge and directly attack the enemy.

However, due to the limitations of roads and supply capabilities, the Jin army did not have the ability to move together with the whole army in the Gaizhou area.

In fact, even now, Wanyan Zonghan's troops have not yet arrived.

The three princes have 25,000 armor soldiers, about 60,000 Aha, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but the Aha soldiers have no combat effectiveness, which everyone knows, and there is not much surplus food for the Shangjin army.

The Qi army militia also has combat effectiveness, this is something that everyone knows, not to mention that even if they are called the "field army", there are less than half of them in Gaizhou at this time, and they can still count on the reinforcements from the Goryeo side.

It is possible that Daikin will be wiped out.

In addition, although the Shengnuzhen in the north are honest, the Mughal people in the west have been reunited, and if the main force of the Jin army does not hurry home, Zamuhe will inevitably see the opportunity to enter the Liaozhong Plain.

"Is that all?" Wanyan Zongbi said: "Give up this battle? Abandoning Gaizhou? ”

"How's that going to work!" Wanyan Zongwang shouted: "Han dog occupies Gaizhou, and in the future, their cavalry will come and leave as they want, can we still keep the army here and watch them?" ”

"Yes, you can't just forget it, you have to fight."

Wanyan Zonggan also said:

"If you die, you have to beat them, otherwise the minions below will say that the three of us are afraid of Xu Shiyang, who will dare to fight him in the future?"

"Let's fight, let's fight anyway. If you can't win and leave, it's much better than running away if you don't dare to fight. ”
