Chapter 557: Zhongjing is lost, and the King of Jin is killed in battle
After ****** recognized the ancestors and returned to their ancestors, nothing major happened in the Song army's camp. The daily homework is drilling, and the other is to recruit soldiers and replenish the troops.
Therefore, the Song army had only two things, one was to train new soldiers so that they had strong combat effectiveness; The second is to pay attention to the situation of the Liaojin War, and we must always pay attention to any disturbances.
Now the Song army occupied Liao's Xijing Datong Mansion and Nanjing's Zijin Mansion; Jin occupied Liaoyangfu in Tokyo and Linhuang in Shangjing, and the next thing was to attack Dading in Zhongjing.
Shangjing Linhuang Mansion was captured in the previous month, that is, two months after the Song army occupied Nanjing Mansion. The Song army had been entrenched in Youzhou for three months.
Winter has fallen in the north, and it is snowing heavily.
The white snowflakes fell from the sky, and there were many northerners in the Song army, but most of them were uprooted from their hometowns, and it can be said that it was the first time they saw the heavy snow in the north.
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the Song army had already prepared for the winter. All the soldiers wore thick cotton jackets, and even in heavy snow, they had to continue to practice without any time to rest.
The soldiers went from being uncomfortable to getting used to it, just because the weather was cold, and when the warm hands held the weapons, they really felt the biting cold, and gradually they got used to it.
Due to the heavy snowfall, the soldiers were able to end the drill early and return to the camp to rest. There were braziers in each tent to keep the people warm, and some drinks to protect them from the cold.
After three months of harsh training and freezing conditions, this is a perseverance and strength. Finally, they completely adapted to the cold weather in the north, and also adapted to fighting in bad weather, as well as the ability to protect themselves.
"Marshal, according to the latest information, the Jin soldiers are assembling a large army to attack the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing!"
"The Jin soldiers have already started attacking?" Zhao Gou lowered his head and was silent in thought, which made him a little unexpected. Originally, I thought that I would wait until the winter passed, and the Jin soldiers would attack again. However, they were impatient to attack, which made Zhao Gou a little suspicious of their motives.
Zhao Gou looked into the distance through the window, the heavy snow had stopped, but it was all white snow outside. In such weather, it should not be attacked. However, the Jin soldiers went against the current, not only attacking, but also concentrating their forces, which made some people puzzled.
At the same time, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty passed down the decree of Yan Aguta, and all the generals ordered troops and horses to follow him to attack the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing. Since the Liao army was concentrated in the east and resisted the Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers' journey was slow, and the progress of the attack on the Liao slowed down a lot.
The Song army broke through Youzhou and occupied Nanjing, which made Wanyan Aguta and others realize that if they didn't seize the time to attack, they were afraid that the development in the future would exceed their expectations. As a result, Wanyan Aguta immediately ordered the army to attack, and successively captured several cities such as Shangjing.
"Soldiers, are you scared of the snow?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"It's freezing, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Good!" Wanyan Agu said in a loud voice, "The three armies listen to the order and go!" ”
Wanyan Aguda straddled the horse's back, patted the horse's back gently, and immediately swooped forward. Then, the army followed in his footsteps, step by step. On the ground that the army had stepped on, the snow had melted, and the snow was very thick in some places, but it still couldn't stop the determination to finish the fight.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the Jin soldiers are coming!"
King Yelu Ao Lu Wei nodded, glanced at the generals gathered together, and said solemnly: "The future of my dynasty depends on you!" ”
"King Jin rest assured, we will defend Zhongjing to the death!" Everyone bowed in unison.
The king of Jin could only pin his hopes on everyone, and now the Jin soldiers are attacking. Even the important Huanglong Mansion of the Liao Dynasty was seized by the Jin, and the Huanglong Mansion was the treasury of the Liao Dynasty and the lifeblood of the economy. It can be said that the Jurchens have cut off the economic lifeline of Liao.
If Zhongjing is lost, then the next step is to attack Huanglong and attack the capital of Liao. Now only Zhongjing is still in Liao's 'Five Capitals', and the others are gone. Then at present, we can only do our best to protect Zhongjing, and only when Zhongjing is still alive can we temporarily resist the offensive of the Jin soldiers, otherwise the destruction of Liao is just around the corner.
Wanyan Aguda was already getting weaker and weaker, and if it weren't for his own wishes, he wouldn't have personally led the army to attack Zhongjing after the heavy snowfall. As long as Zhongjing is breached, then Liao is doomed, and once his wish is fulfilled, he can abdicate and make way for Xian.
The Jin soldiers gathered outside the gate of Dadingfu in Zhongjing, and the Jin soldiers were only about 50,000, while the Liao army had more than 200,000 people. However, in the battle of Liaojin, the Jin soldiers defeated the Liao army of 700,000 with 20,000 troops, and finally suffered heavy casualties, which also made the Liao generals frightened.
After the arrival of the army, Wanyan Aguta immediately ordered an attack, and the Liao army also resisted to the death. However, the Jin soldiers became more and more courageous, and no one in the Liao army could resist their pace, so they could only watch their compatriots die tragically under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers.
The Liao army has cavalry, and the Jin soldiers also have it, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, and the soldiers are more brave.
Liaojin fought in the battle of Dadingfu in Zhongjing for half a month, and finally ended in the defeat of Liao. However, it doesn't end there. Because, the Jin soldiers captured the King of Jin, and in full view of everyone, Wanyan Agu issued a killing order and directly executed the King of Jin in front of everyone.
Sure enough, the morale of the soldiers of the Liao army was disheartened, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The Jin soldiers attacked the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, like a no-man's land, drove straight in, killed the Liao army, lost their armor, and finally lost Zhongjing. At the same time, the king of Jin was also killed in battle and beheaded in front of the Liao army.
The king of Jin, Yelu Aolu, won the hearts of the people, and even wanted to be established as the king and depose Emperor Tianzuo. With the death of the King of Jin in battle, the news of the loss of Zhongjing spread to the Liao State, and the whole country was grieved, but Emperor Tianzuo did not think so, thinking that it was better to die.
Emperor Tianzuo is incompetent and not a fool, he knows that his son is deeply popular, if he is not executed, even he has the intention of removing the king of Jin. Now I have saved a lot of things, but I am a little grateful for it.
"Zhongjing is lost, and the King of Jin is killed!"
After Zhao Gou got the information, his brows furrowed even tighter, he was not idle these days, but he didn't expect Zhongjing to fall so quickly, which made him have to speed up his pace. So, Zhao Gou sent an order down and ordered the army to be reorganized; In addition, he also sent a message to the seed master Dao and others, asking them to help.
Because of the loss of Zhongjing, the time for the destruction of Liao is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Gou must speed up his pace!
