The horse's hooves rumbled like thunder. Thousands of Jurchen iron horsemen surrounded the carriage of Wanyan Akuda, walking in front.

Behind them, there were countless banners of various colors, and endless cavalry and horses followed. The main force of the Jin soldiers finally drove out of the mountain city at night.

Wanyan Aguta got the exact news of Empress Dowager Xiao's attack at 10 o'clock in the first month of July - a day earlier, about 40,000 Eastern Liao soldiers under the banner of Empress Dowager Xiao caught up with the 8,000 Jin soldiers of Tokyo Province commanded by Wanyan Zongwang on the west bank of the Heihe River in the western part of the Horqin grassland.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't dare to fight, and after a little contact, he immediately waded across the Heihe River and retreated in the direction of Yelai Mountain.

And the winning Empress Dowager Xiao's department followed and chased!

To be honest, this news came as a big surprise to Wanyan Aguta and his generals and ministers. Empress Dowager Xiao was so easy to deceive, and was led to the direction of Yelai Mountain by Wanyan Zongwang's slight tricks.

Although her 40,000 elite soldiers are very difficult to deal with, it is impossible to be the opponent of the 140,000 Jurchen army led by Ah Gutaqin. This woman is too naïve, but how can such an innocent woman fight with Dajin Guo for so many years?

So Ah Guta didn't wait any longer, and immediately gave the order for the whole army to attack!

Fight 40,000 with 140,000 men...... It's a must-win battle, right?

Just leaving the mountain city at night, every Jin soldier who traveled on the road between the mountains and forests had a gloomy face, and the sound of horses' hooves added a bit of solemnity. Because they found that the founder of Daikin, Wanyan Aguta, did not ride a horse, but chose to ride in a car.

Ah Guta is not the "Emperor N generation" who grew up in the deep palace, but the entrepreneurial king who fights the world with a bow and horse. And he is also the leader of the Jurchens who hunted among the white mountains and black waters when they were young.

If he still had the physical strength to march on horseback, he would never have chosen to ride in a car...... It seems that all the rumors about the health of this leading girl Zhen from the mountains and forests are true!

Can the body beaten with Ah bones still support Daikin's male soldiers when they return triumphantly?

If he falls on the front line, will this war related to the survival of the Dajin Kingdom still be able to fight?

In front of the team, from time to time, there are rumors running back and forth, bringing the latest military newspapers.

"Du Bo is extremely fierce, Liao Kou's brigade has crossed the Heihe River and is following the second prince's department."

"Du Bo is extremely fierce, a large number of Dongliao Yuanzi horses appeared on the grassland in the west of Raozhou (the central part of the east side of the Qianli pine forest), and it is suspected that the Dongliao army is heading north along the east side of the Qianli pine forest!"

Hearing the return, Ah Guda just smiled: "Are the soldiers coming in two ways?" I don't know how many people have been there along the way? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? ”

Wanyan Zonggan (the eldest son of Aguda), who was riding a horse and walking on the side of the Aguda carriage, smiled as if he were on the occasion: "Father, let's just divide our troops into two ways and defeat these two Liaokou!" Then he went south to Songshan Prefecture along the thousands of miles of pine forest, approaching the border of the Zhou State! ”

Ah Guda glanced at him lightly and said with a smile: "Defeat two enemy troops at once? You've got a lot of appetite! But have you thought about it? Now that the Liao people are in full swing, and there is the artillery team of the Zhou State to help in the battle, maybe a large number of Zhou troops will directly participate in the battle. Are we sure that we will attack in two ways? The 140,000 troops brought by Gu are the foundation of the Jurchens, and they can't fight in waves, and if they don't have complete certainty, how can they lightly divide their troops for a decisive battle? ”

Ah Guta's demeanor was relaxed, but between laughing and talking, he vetoed the eldest son's request to attack the two Liao armies at the same time, which made the surrounding generals a little depressed.

Du Bo's courage is getting smaller and smaller now, but that Empress Dowager Xiao is getting bolder and bolder. Not only did he take the lead every time, but he also dared to take risks by surprise, although the number of troops was small, and the combat power was not very strong, but he was always in the initiative.

The level of fighting with soldiers seems to be getting higher and higher...... It's just that how could it suddenly become stupid this time? There won't be a fraud, right?

With Du Boji's desperately concentrated army of 140,000, can he really wipe out her 40,000 people?

……

"The whole army stops moving!"

Still dressed in plain cloth clothes, the Empress Dowager of Dongliao, who was marching on a war horse, suddenly gave an order.

"Whoa!"

The cavalry behind her responded with a bang, and then galloped to give orders to the various armies of the Thousand Households that were advancing.

"Is the queen mother tired?"

Yelu Aolu, who was following Empress Dowager Xiao, hurriedly asked, with a concerned face, as if he was a son of pure filial piety.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "Ah Gu Da is coming!" He has a lot more people than I do, and I avoid his edge first. ”

"How did the queen mother know that Ah Gu was calling?"

"Guess." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, "The order is to let Xinzhi and all the 10,000 military planes and 1,000 military planes come to the imperial camp to discuss with the army." ”

"Whoa!"

A few more horsemen followed.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her son with a blank face again, and there was a little more disdain in her heart.

This kid doesn't know how to fight at all, and he has the same virtue as his dead ghost father......

"Ao Luhu, how to fight the next part, you can talk about it."

"How do you know ...... child?" said Yelu Aolu, shaking his head. He really didn't know, although he had learned to fight with soldiers since he was a child, he had studied the entire set of courses at the Tianjin Cavalry Academy (taught by Zhou Guo's military advisers). But when he goes to the battlefield, he has no idea, and he is worse than his son Yelu Yanxi!

"Hit Linhuang Mansion!" Xiao Se said, "The golden soldiers who led us to the west bank of the Heihe River came from Linhuang Mansion. Therefore, the city of Linhuang Mansion must be very empty now, maybe only a few thousand people. It's a great opportunity for us to take it!

As long as he captured the city of Linhuangfu, even if Aguda brought 200,000 troops, he would have to return with a feather. ”

What the? Yelu Ao Lu was shocked when he heard this, the city of Linhuang Mansion has been transformed into a fortress! And most of them are equipped with cannons, and there are tens of thousands of Jurchen defenders, how can they be impregnable, how can they be defeated?

"Queen Mother, Linhuang Mansion City can be strong ......"

Xiao Se smiled: "It is precisely because of solidity that Jin can have no fear." However, Wei Niang also has a killer feature, and Linhuang Mansion City will soon return to the hands of Da Liao! ”

Are you sure?

Yelu Ao Lu was incredulous and felt a little regretful...... This old lady of mine is still very capable, but she is too ambitious, and she is not satisfied when she is the queen mother, so she wants to be a queen.

Otherwise, the mother and son are of the same heart, why worry about the great Liao?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yelu Aoluhu's brother-in-law, Wu Yixin, had already arrived. The left army commanded by Wu Yixin was in front of the right army led by Empress Dowager Xiao herself. However, he did not lead the team to the forefront of the main column, but to bet on the rear team. It is not very far from Empress Dowager Xiao's pro-army, this is to support Empress Dowager Xiao in an emergency - Wu Yixin always feels that Yelu Ao Lu Hu has no good intentions......

"The King, the Queen Mother." After seeing Yelu Aolu, Wu Yixin still respectfully saluted. His identity is also very special, but he can't say too much bad things about Yelu Ao Lu Hu in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

"Xinzhi, immediately send two thousand people to disguise themselves as the main force of the army, continue to follow the Jin people, the rest of the people gather and rest, and start to turn to the northeast tonight, the target is Linhuang Mansion City!"

"Whoa!"

said that it was a military discussion, but Xiao Sese directly gave the order to turn.

Xiao Sese's army of 40,000 is now located about 150 li east of the southern foot of Yelai Mountain and about 130 li from Linhuangfu City. After completing the turn tonight, we will be able to reach Linhuangfu City in two days, and we will be able to complete the encirclement in another day.

"Believe it," Xiao Si Se asked, "if the siege begins in three days, how many days will you be able to break the city?" What are the approximate casualties? ”

"It depends," Wu Yi said, "I don't know if the prismatic fort of Linhuang Mansion can block the shells?" If the shells can be resisted, then it may take two or three days to concentrate the artillery to open the gap, and then launch an assault...... As for whether it can be captured, it depends on the situation of white-knuckle fighting. ”

The Zhou army has been studying the construction of fortresses and the methods of attacking them for many years. Wu Haogu also proposed a method, such as casting a short and fat stone mortar-shaped curved artillery to fire shells...... However, the flowering bomb always fails to bloom, so this method is not very reliable for the time being.

But the Zhou army still found a simple and feasible way, which was to concentrate all the artillery bombardment a little. At the same time, a more powerful siege cannon was cast for bombardment of fortresses.

The first siege artillery battalion of the Zhou army, which is now deployed in the Baoyi Pavilion, is an artillery unit specially used to bombard the fortress. Equipped with 16 12-pound cannons! As long as you don't encounter the 24-angle big fortress in Xuzhou City, which is built at any cost, it will always be able to blast out.

As for the fortress of the Jin Kingdom, it is actually built at a very poor level. The main problem was that the walls were not inclined enough to withstand shelling. The second is the lack of firepower, only a small number of light artillery imported from the Song Dynasty, which is not enough to form a dense crossfire, and there is no way to bombard the enemy's artillery positions at a distance.

Therefore, the walls and forts of Linhuang Mansion are not unbreakable, and the real threat to the attacking Eastern Liao army is actually the thousands to 10,000 Jurchen soldiers defending the city.

……

"Stay behind, the Liaogou Yuan Horse of the brigade has reappeared to the east of the Heihe River!"

"Stay behind, the sons and daughters encountered a large force of Liao dog cavalry near the Xuanhua Pavilion......"

"Stay behind, there are also a large number of Liao soldiers near Zuzhou City!"

On the afternoon of the second day when Empress Dowager Xiao led her army to the northeast, the scouts of the Jin army brought the news that a large part of the Liao army had appeared on the east bank of the Heihe River back to Linhuangfu City and reported it to Wanyan Xianye.

"What? Liaogou is back? ”

"Stay, could it be that Liaogou met the army of Du Bo and was driven over?"

"Not that fast, right? The fierce army of Du Bo has just walked out of the thousand-mile pine forest, right? ”

Several of Yan Xianye's subordinates immediately began to discuss. At this time, no one expected that Empress Dowager Xiao would lead her troops to attack Huangfu, and Wan Yan Xian did not expect it either. Because there are 8,000 regular soldiers and a comparable number of deputy soldiers in Linhuang Mansion City, as well as 16 250-pound cannons.

Even if there were 100,000 Liao troops, it would be impossible to break through the ...... of Linhuang Mansion Unless Zhou Guo makes a direct move!

But will Zhou send troops?

To be honest, Wan Yan Xian also has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know.
