On the night of July 18 and the morning of July 19, Linhuang House.

The sound of shouts and guns came one after another, and the city of Linhuang Mansion was already full of holes. The city walls, breastwork walls and earthen slopes where the Jin soldiers were once stationed have long been in tatters, and there are corpses all over the place. Most of them were gold soldiers in poor armor and leather armor or "militiamen" with no armor at all, and some were republican officers and soldiers wearing shiny armor. The battle was once very fierce, and there were many corpses of the dead on both sides, still scuffling together, and the corpses of some Republican officers and soldiers still maintained the posture of rushing to kill!

The gap on the southern wall of Linhuangfu City, which is more than 200 steps wide, is the place where the two sides compete most fiercely!

Contrary to Wu Yiyong and Wang Yan's expectations, Wan Yan Xian did not put his troops on the gentle slope formed by the collapse of the city wall to be bombarded, but placed the troops under the gentle slope, and waited for the Zhou army to rush up before launching a counterattack.

Such a tactic is completely nonsense before the cannon becomes the master of the battlefield, but at the moment it is the most correct choice.

Regardless of whether it can be held or not, it can at least inflict a lot of casualties on the opponent.

So the most tragic fierce battle unfolded in these more than 200 steps.

All the Jin people who could fight in the city of Linhuangfu, whether they were Jurchen, Bohai, Goryeo, or men, women, and children, were all organized and thrown into the battle for the gap.

Those who were not strong, but could still draw bows and shoot arrows, brought bows and arrows, lined up under the gap, and shot arrows in waves, throwing arrows like raindrops onto the dirt slope of the gap. Those who were not able to shoot arrows built a fortress with earth, and desperately built a breastwork wall within the gap.

As for the strong ones—most of them were Jurchen women, because the strong men in the Linhuang Mansion had already been incorporated into the four fierce security armies—they wore armor and spears to help in battle, and launched a fierce counterattack with the regular Jin soldiers!

However, despite the slopakiness of the milk, there was still no republican officer and soldier who could stop the frantic attack.

The old, weak, sick, disabled, disabled women and children who were organized by the oblique are all granges and citizenship cards in the eyes of the red-eyed "second generation of militarists...... The more they come, the more they get bigger!

In the early morning of the next day, near the gap, there were layers of corpses of Jurchens, Bohai people, and Goryeo people, and the corpses were almost as high as the gentle slope! The Republican soldiers made a breakthrough by stepping on the corpses, and in one fell swoop captured the earthen wall that had just been piled up.

Subsequently, 12 6-pound cannons were dragged up and set up on a high place to bombard targets in the city.

At this point, the oblique also knows that the general trend has gone.

Not only the general trend of Linhuang Mansion, but also the general trend of the entire Dajin Kingdom!

Because Zhou Jun's attack power was several times stronger than he had imagined before! The Linhuang Mansion Fortress, which was thought to be impregnable, was not vulnerable at all before the frantic attack of their artillery and infantry!

In just one day and one night, they fell into the hands of the enemy!

Xian Ye did not have the idea of martyrdom, but chose to break through after the city was broken - he had to find Wanyan Aguta as soon as possible, and then inform the news of the fall of Linhuang Mansion and the strength of the Zhou army.

The Jin soldiers must immediately evacuate the Horqin grassland...... Not only the Horqin Grassland must be abandoned, but also Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion must be abandoned!

As for whether Datong Mansion can be defended, it depends on whether the Song Dynasty joins the war? If Kaifeng Prefecture is still drunk and dreaming of death, then the Jin State must move westward, no matter how difficult the route to the west is, it is better than fighting with the Zhou State in the east.

The Zhou army did not prevent the Jin soldiers from breaking through, nor did they send cavalry to chase after them—because most of the cavalry had been sent by Wang Yan and Wu Yiyong to support Empress Dowager Xiao as early as late at night on the 18th.

The two of them were worried that Empress Dowager Xiao would not be able to carry the main force of Aguda, so they sent out the cavalry that could not be used without waiting for the battle of Linhuang Mansion to end.

And there was no need to prevent the Jin soldiers who fled from Linhuang Mansion to promote the prestige of the Great Zhou Republican Army.

In the grassland, prestige is power and wealth!

In fact, the worry about the Empress Dowager Xiao is also unnecessary, and the Empress Dowager also showed her might in the battle on the 18th. Not only withstood the attack of more than twice the number of Jin soldiers, but also defended and attacked, taking advantage of the opportunity of the "Queen Mother's Phalanx" in the center of the front to repel the attack of Yan Zongwang's department, and launched a round of counterattack, almost breaking through the center of the Jin army's battle line.

In the end, although he was repelled in the counterattack launched by Wanyan Zongbi's troops, it still caused heavy losses to the Jin soldiers! Not only were thousands of people killed and wounded, but more than 80 250-pound guns were nailed to the fire gate.

After this round of counterattacks, the phalanx led by Wu Yixin retracted back to the camel city and began to use camel cannons for the defense of both flanks, and soon repelled the Jin soldiers who attacked in a roundabout way.

However, the biggest loss suffered by the Jin soldiers in today's bloody battle was the fall of their generation of male lords, Ah Guta.

After witnessing Zongwang's troops being repelled by artillery, camel cannons, and the pikemen of the Liao soldiers, Ah Guta's spirit collapsed at once.

He already knew that there was no way to defeat Xiao Sese!

If even Xiao Sese's 40,000 Eastern Liao army can't be defeated, then when the main force of the Zhou army arrives, can the battle of the Horqin grassland continue?

Moreover, can the oblique really hold the city of Linhuang?

Barely supported until dark on the 18th, after the two armies collected their troops and returned to the camp, Aguta finally fell. That night, I had a high fever, my whole body was hot, and everyone was a little dazed.

His body was already very poor, and he was supported by a spiritual head. Now that the spirit is broken, the body can't support it! I'm afraid this disease is more than lucky!

Several of his sons and nephews hurriedly blocked his condition, and then held a military meeting overnight to discuss whether to fight or leave.

The fight must be undefeatable, but he is unwilling to flee immediately - Linhuang Mansion may still be able to hold on! As long as it can be defended, Dajin Kingdom has the capital to hold on to the Horqin grassland.

No matter how powerful the camel city and artillery are, they can only be used to fight tough battles. The Jin soldiers could have taken advantage of the cavalry to maneuver with Xiao Si and send a small force to attack her logistics line, harass and destroy the southern part of the Horqin steppe, while the large army took her around the steppe in circles.

In addition, Jin Guo also has a trump card, which is Wanyan Zonghan's Eastern Route Army.

As long as the Eastern Route Army succeeds in the sneak attack on Dading Mansion, victory is still expected......

After discussing until the next morning, several second generations of the Wanyan family finally reached an agreement. did not retreat first, and no longer took the initiative to challenge, but sent dozens of cavalry to block the back road of Xiao Sese's army and cut off her food route!

At the same time, cavalry was also sent to Linhuang Mansion City to investigate the situation there.

But within a day, a few of the cavalry sent out to cut off Xiao Sise's rear route retreated, and brought frightening news.

They encountered more than 10,000 cavalry of the Zhou Kingdom! It was mighty and mighty, driving from the direction of Linhuang Mansion, looking like a victorious army.

Another day passed, and the cavalry sent to Linhuang Mansion also returned, and they also brought back Wan Yan Xianye, who had successfully broken through, and more than a thousand Jurchen cavalry protruding from Linhuang Mansion City.

This time, several Wanyan second generations didn't dare to let Ah Guda recuperate with peace of mind, so they had to order the medical officer to pour the old ginseng that Ah Guda had hanged.

This is actually overdrawing the little vitality that Aguda has left!

"How can this be, how can this be ......"

Ah Gu, who was lying on the animal skin mattress, finished inquiring about the report, and the vitality in his eyes seemed to have been sucked away, leaving only a bleak and unfocused.

"Father, what should I do? You have an idea! ”

Zonggan, the eldest son of Ah Guta, looked at his father, who was about to finish, and asked anxiously.

"What to do? Hehe, it's come to this, is there any other way than to go? Akuda sighed.

"But your body ......"

The medical officer said that Ah Guta's body was weak and he was no longer able to move.

Ah Guda smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, let's rest when I come to the mountain city at night...... Let's start tonight, don't wait. ”

He looked at a few of his nephews, "Isn't it just to lose the battle?" Victory and defeat are commonplace, as long as the capital is still there, there is a chance to make a comeback! Vultures, how many more centaurs are here? ”

"Father, there are still 135,000 soldiers and horses here."

The troops led by Aguta originally numbered 140,000, but later they joined the six or seven thousand people of Wanyan Zongwang to reach about 147,000, and today more than 1,000 people led by Xian Ye have returned, which has reached 148,000 or several hundred. Now there are 135,000 left, which means that more than 10,000 people have been lost.

Not all of them were killed or wounded on the 18th, and many of the scout cavalry were killed or missing in the battle with the distant horses of Eastern Liao.

"There are still a lot of people...... "Ah Guda thought for a moment, "let's leave tonight, go quietly, don't leave the camp." ”

"But......" Wanyan Zongwang shook his head, "But what about Zong Han?" What about the ten Meng'an on the East Road? That's 40,000 nations! If they are abandoned, they will all be fish on the chopping board of Zhou Guo! ”

Wanyan Aguda looked at his son and smiled bitterly: "No, if it weren't for Zong Han's more than 40,000 people, do you think our 130,000 or thousands of troops would still be able to retreat?" ”

The oblique on the side was also so sad that tears came down, "We have suffered heavy losses in this battle!" Fourteen Meng'an ......"

Wanyan Agu's face turned pale, and he coughed a few times, "Xianye, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, and I will rely on you to assist Wu Qi to buy it in the future." You can't eat your defeat in vain, you must learn something! Maybe I'll use it in the future...... On the way to the west, it is indispensable to conquer the city!

It's a pity I can't be with you......"

The medicinal effect of the wild mountain ginseng soon passed, and Ah Guda fell into a coma again, his body temperature rose again, and he began to cough loudly, apparently the pneumonia started again.

However, the people of the Wanyan family couldn't take care of his illness, so they stuffed the sleeping Ah Guda into the carriage that night, and retreated in a panic with the army.

Three days later, the founder of the Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguta, died of illness in the mountain city at night!
