Mandarin ducks were the favorite place for the Khitan emperors to go hunting. According to the "History of Liao", in this place alone, Emperor Tianzuo brought a large group of men and horses to come seven times during his reign to "make a bowl" and go on a safari.

The Khitan has a spring, summer, autumn and winter "four seasons bowl" system. It was the emperor who kept moving with the changes of the seasons, and he traveled to the tents set up in various places while hunting and working.

The spring bowl is mainly for fishing and catching swans, and the location is generally in Changchun Prefecture's Yuerluo, Mingtongjiang or Mandarin Duck Luo. The emperor generally came here in the first lunar month, first chiseled ice fishing, and then caught geese and geese when the ice melted, and held a head fish banquet and a head goose banquet, feasted the local tribal leaders, held an annual meeting, accepted the congratulations of the Jurchen chieftains, and deployed various places to pay tribute to the Great Liao.

The Jurchens paid tribute to the Khitan with Dongzhu, ginseng, shengjin, Haidongqing, mink, and good dogs. As the Liao Dynasty became increasingly corrupt and extravagant, the ruling group's demand for Haidongqing and Dongzhu greatly increased, and the Khitan stepped up their looting and extortion of the Jurchens. They either plundered the Jurchens' native products by force, or insulted the Jurchens in the process of exchange, reduced the value of each other's items, and called them "Jurchens" as if they were having fun.

The Jurchens almost captured all the Haidongqing in their territory and paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty, but they still could not satisfy the greedy Liao rulers. What's more, the Khitan generals along the border often plundered the Jurchens unreasonably. In emergencies such as the conscription of soldiers and horses, the Khitan sent messengers with silver medals were known as "silver angels".

Whenever they went to the territory of the Jurchens, they asked to be accompanied by a Jurchen woman. At first, the Jurchens appointed unmarried women from middle and lower households to accompany them, but later an endless stream of envoys relied on the power of the great power to choose beautiful women for themselves, neither asking whether they had husbands or whether they were women from Jurchen aristocratic families, but they would forcibly occupy them as long as they liked them.

The "Silver Angel" did whatever he wanted, arousing the general dissatisfaction of all Jurchen tribes and strata, and the hunting Khitan emperors and nobles because of their love for Haidongqing, every cold season, "must order the Jurchen to send hundreds of horses to the borders of the five countries to take them", and when the Tianzuo Emperor arrived, "the tribute was particularly harsh". The Jurchens also hated these greedy chatters to the extreme.

Enslavement and oppression inevitably brought resistance, and the Jurchens had been ruled by the Liao State for hundreds of years, and getting rid of the tyranny of foreign races had become the desire of the Jurchens.

The younger brother of Wu Yashu, the great chief of the Jurchen Tribal Alliance, saw that the Liao Dynasty was becoming more and more corrupt, so he was determined to stand on his own and fight against the Liao State.

Needless to say, the Liao State, which seemed to be extremely powerful, led the initial 2,500 cavalry led by Wanyan Aguta, and within a few years, the Liao State was defeated

In 1115, Wanyan Agu founded the country and became the emperor, the country name was "Dajin", changed the yuan to "collect the country", and set the capital to go to Beijing.

The original meaning of Khitan is "iron", which means that it is strong and stable, and it is unbreakable, and Wanyan Aguda takes "gold" as the country name, and changes the yuan to "collect the country" must have the meaning of "gold and iron".

In the end, the Liao State was finally destroyed by the Jurchens, and the eagle Hai Dongqing can be regarded as the "life-killing bird" of the Khitan people in the Liao State.

During the war with the Liao State, the Jurchen Eagle Trainers also developed another function of Haidongqing, that is, to detect the enemy.

No matter how hidden the enemy is, they can't escape the eagle eye in the sky, so this bird has also become a precious reconnaissance weapon in the Jin Kingdom.

This time, with these Haidongqing brought by Wanyan Zongbi, the imperial army on the battlefield, no matter what tricks they played, could not escape the sharp eyes of these Jurchen divine birds.

There is a poem that praises: "There are 60 out of 300 feather insects, and the most handsome sea is green." The sex is golden and spiritual, and the different materials are reflected in Yaoguangken. ”

After these extremely miraculous Haidongqing were released by the Eagle Slave, they soared high in the air, using their flight trajectory to report the enemy tracks they found to the ground, leaving the imperial army with nothing to hide.

The imperial army that had approached the Jin Defense Line naturally discovered these Hai Dongqing in the sky.

No one wants to have several spies on their heads every day, so the sharpshooters in the army are trying their best to get rid of these Haidongqing, but this bird is very smart and only hovers high in the sky, even if the giant uses a special strong bow, it can't shoot them.

At present, in addition to the engineers and civilians, the two countries have sent the five infantry regiments with the longest establishment and the strongest combat effectiveness, plus the 20,000 people of Han Shizhong's First Cavalry Regiment, the total strength of the army has reached four or five, and the number of regular troops is 270,000.

The tribal armies of the Jin State under the command of Wanyan Zongbi totaled 250,000 Jurchen soldiers and 130,000 Liao people, totaling 380,000.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle it, five to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be able to fight, and if it is few, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided." ”

To put it simply, if our army is ten times larger than the enemy, we will encircle and annihilate it, if it is five times as strong as the enemy, we will attack, if it is twice as strong as the enemy, we will try to defeat the enemy, and if we are evenly matched, we will try to disperse and destroy each of them. If the force is weaker than the enemy, avoid fighting.

This is a reference to ordinary warfare, but it is more difficult to manifest in siege warfare.

Generally speaking, if the equipment level of the two sides is similar, then the defending side can easily kill a large number of enemy troops with strong cities and various defensive measures, so since ancient times, the besieging side needs five to ten times the strength to consume.

Not to mention the far away, let's just say that the Song State Taiyuan defense battle, when the Jin soldiers attacked, Shangguan Tongguan led people to escape, Taiyuan prefect Zhang Xiaochun in the absence of food supplies, no rescue, relying on thousands of soldiers and horses and people in the city, it resisted the Jin soldiers for more than 250 days.

At present, the Jin people have more troops than the imperial army, and the food and armament are sufficient, and it is the defender who has the advantage in troops.

Moreover, after the Jin people obtained a large number of craftsmen from the Liao and Song kingdoms, the development of firearms was also extremely fast, and it is said that gunpowder arrows, firebirds and iron artillery have been equipped with the whole army, which makes the empire, which has always used gunpowder to control the enemy, also has little advantage.

Li Nan didn't want his own soldiers to consume the enemy with their lives, so he could only find other ways to attack the city, but Hai Dongqing, who was hovering in the sky all day long, detected all the movements of the imperial army clearly.

This time, Li Nan drove the expedition in person, and some of the Royal Forest Legion escorted by him also came, including the shapeshifter from the world of ice and fire.

The shapeshifter can control the birds, use their eyes to observe the enemy, and can be regarded as an alternative high-altitude scout, but in the face of the golden people's Hai Dongqing, no flying bird can resist it, even if it is the fierce goshawk controlled by the tile rear, it is not the opponent of these sacred birds.

Even if the empire is relatively rich now, it cannot allow hundreds of thousands of troops to continue to consume materials in the north, you must know that most of these military materials are transferred from the south of the Yangtze River, because the road is too long, the loss is very large, so a quick battle is a good strategy.

Li Nan has dominated the world since he started his army and established the country, and he has been affected by a flock of birds, and immediately ordered Zhang Hao, who was accompanying him: "Bring the Imperial Holy Dragon immediately!" ”
