Chapter 675: Bombing Hoerning Mansion

"Kyo lost?"

Wan Yan Sheng was stunned, stunned like a 'chicken', hearing the news was like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, the 300,000 army was defeated by more than 100,000 Song troops, and Wanyan Zongwang and other generals were all killed, and none of them were spared. As for the 300,000 army, 100,000 were also lost, and 200,000 fled in all directions, which made Wan Yansheng dumbfounded.

I once thought that the Song army was vulnerable, but later it turned out to be such a result. If he hadn't taken the initiative to tear up the covenant and invaded the Great Song Dynasty in a big way, he would not have ended up with such a result, and it would have been difficult to end.

"Brother, am I wrong?"

"Alas, you are so wrong!" Wan Yan A's voice suddenly sounded, and then his figure appeared in front of Wan Yan Sheng, that look was still so familiar, "Fourth brother, you don't know how powerful Song Jun is, especially Zhao Gou. He is not only a martial artist, but also the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses who commanded the Song army, and dared to negotiate with me alone, which shows that he is very courageous. ”

"With his talents, the Great Song Dynasty is top-notch, not to mention finding someone who can match him in our dynasty. If he didn't die, the Song Dynasty would definitely rise. It's a pity that you are eyeing the Song Dynasty, and I am also forced to have no choice but to remove all your powers, you are my fourth brother, how can you really have the intention of murdering you! ”

"I just don't want to see you inherit the throne and use troops against the Song Dynasty, it's self-inflicted, I'm afraid that it will be too late to regret it. If you can get rid of the idea of being an enemy of the Song Dynasty, then I am really happy, and it is just wishful thinking. ”

"Fourth brother, after you inherit the throne, you must remember what I said today, you must not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Song army, let alone provoke a war between the Jin and Song dynasties, nor ignore Zhao Gou, let alone start a war under the premise of insufficient national strength, especially the Song Dynasty, the day of the rise of the Song Dynasty is not far away, if you are not willing to listen to me, I am afraid that the future of the Jin Dynasty will be in danger, you must remember to remember!"

"Brother, I just want my people to have a stable life, no longer live a life of wandering, and I don't want them to either starve to death or freeze to death in the cold winter!" Wan Yan Sheng said what was in his heart, but found that Wan Yan A's figure gradually dispersed, and hurriedly shouted: "Big brother! Eldest brother! ……”

"Emperor!"

When the guards heard Yan Sheng's screams, they hurriedly rushed in, wanting to protect him, but the moment they pulled out their swords, a cold light shone on the pale face of Yan Sheng, making him wake up suddenly, recalling that he had killed Yan Agu with his own hands, won the throne of the Jin Dynasty, and became Emperor Taizong.

At the beginning, when he led the 'guards' into the palace, Wan Yan Aguda did not have any fear, as if he had been mentally prepared, and he was killed by him after telling Yan Sheng a few words earnestly. At this time, Wan Yansheng's heart was full of helplessness, unwillingness, and regret, if he listened to his brother's words, he would not have made such a situation. Not to mention the defeat of the Jin Dynasty's army, even the Liao Dynasty city, which was finally captured, was lost within a year, and he abandoned the city and fled back to the original place of Huiningfu.

The Jin Dynasty fought with the Song Dynasty for many years, consumed a lot of materials, and suffered heavy losses in this battle, with corpses all over the field, which made Wan Yansheng bear too much pressure in his heart, but there was nowhere to say. Alone, that's it. After Yan Sheng's efforts were exhausted, he asked the prime minister, generals and others to come to discuss how to do it.

"Emperor, to this day, we can only seek peace!"

"Summation? Easier said than done! Wan Yansheng said bitterly, "If I could make peace, I would have done it a long time ago." Since the envoys were sent out to different places, no one dared to go to the Great Song Dynasty. Even if we take the initiative to make peace, he may not agree. ”

"Whatever the outcome, at least you have to try. With our supplies, we may not be able to survive this winter, but I am afraid that it will be really late at that time. ”

Wan Yansheng replied helplessly: "Then do it according to your wishes!" ”

After receiving Yan Sheng's approval, the ministers immediately began to prepare for peace. Now that winter is coming, they need to make all the preparations beforehand.

When everything was ready, immediately set off for Bianjing City to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Emperor, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty ask to see you!"

"Biography!" Zhao thought that the Jin Dynasty would send envoys to come, and he didn't want to come so quickly.

"The envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty see His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" Under the leadership of the eunuch, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty came to the court, and he did not have the arrogant look he had before, and he was completely a courtier.

If it weren't for the Song Dynasty's army 'forced' them into desperation, and the army retreated again and again, how could they be so humble with their 'nature'.

"What is the matter with the envoy?"

"Back to the emperor, I came today to ask for peace at the suggestion of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty, and decided to sign an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and the two countries should strike their troops. In addition, our dynasty is willing to compensate for the losses of the Great Song Dynasty, and the cities that have been lost are also divided into the territory of the Song Dynasty, I wonder if the emperor agrees? ”

"Peace?" Zhao Gou smiled slightly meaningfully, and snorted coldly: "When I was still the King of Yan, I never planned to have a war with the Jin Dynasty, and even went to Liaoyang Mansion to negotiate an alliance in person when I was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses. ”

"Emperor Jin Taizu kept his promise, and he did not covet the Great Song Dynasty in his lifetime, and the two countries were at peace. But later, after Yan Sheng ascended the throne as emperor, how did he treat me in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Took the initiative to provoke the war, the lives were devastated, and even sent people to capture the second emperor of Huiqin, and now the life and death are unknown, and he has repeatedly sent troops to attack the land of Yanyun, and how many people of the Great Song Dynasty have suffered from the scourge of war, all of this is not my Zhao Gou initiative, but was 'forced' to have no choice but to fight. Now that our army occupies most of the territory and victory is in sight, you actually think that peace can erase everything at this time, then you also underestimate me Zhao Gou, and look up to yourself. ”

"After the development of the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years, it has been completely restored, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. If it weren't for your inch, how could there be another war, all of this was done by you with a good emperor, but you ministers did not dissuade you, and even aided the abuse, do you really think that my Great Song Dynasty is easy to bully? You are losing and retreating, thinking about negotiating peace and reparations to resolve the crisis in front of you, and then turning around and tearing up the covenant again, do you really think that there is no one to use in my Great Song Dynasty, or the 'meat' of the chopping board, let you take it at will? ”

"The two countries will not fight each other, I will not kill you today, you will tell Yan Sheng for me, I knew why I had to be responsible for what I did today, don't think that peace can solve the problem, the shame at that time, I Zhao Gou will definitely get it back in person."

Under the momentum of Zhao Gou, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty could no longer open their mouths to sue for peace, so they could only set off back in a gloomy manner. This time, they did not complete the task, and everyone was sad, until they returned to Huining Mansion, they truthfully returned to Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng heard about it, and he didn't say anything to blame, he had already calculated this matter and was mentally prepared.

When they returned, Wanyan Sheng could only issue an order to let the entire Wanyan Department prepare for winter, and always be vigilant to guard against the Song army.

This year's winter came a little early, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Whether it is the Song army or the Jin soldiers, they dare not go out at will in this season, you must know that the snow is falling, it is easy to 'get lost' and lose direction, and the wind is howling in the cold season, which is unbearable.

The Song army had already prepared, and all the warm clothes and other clothes had been delivered in place, but the Jin Dynasty was living an unimaginable winter, starving to death, freezing to death, continuous wars, so that their follow-up supplies could not keep up, and the Song army occupied the granary, and finally could only live the previous nomadic life, began to hunt for a living, barely survived.

Six months later, the bitter cold has passed, and a new round of 'spring' season has been ushered in. After the cold has passed in the original area, the people have already sown seeds and are waiting for months to harvest. During the period when Zhao Gou was stationed in the same place of the army, in order to wait for the war in the coming year, he once again mobilized grain and grass and other materials to send to the front line.

Zhao Gou once again ordered an all-out attack on Huining Mansion!

After Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, Zhao Yougong once again became the commander of the army, and after he received the holy decree, he immediately passed down the commander's order and ordered the army to continue to move eastward. After some rest, the Song army had adapted to the cold winter, and with the full assistance of the imperial court, they had no worries.

The Song army safely crossed the Song'hua River and went straight to Taizhou, but it did not encounter any obstacles, took Taizhou unhindered, and continued to march eastward, directly 'pressing' Zhaozhou, still the same situation, and was not hindered by anything. The cold winter made the guards of Taizhou and Zhaozhou unbearable, they had given up resistance, and they were not powerless to resist, so they could only be restrained.

Originally, there were tens of thousands of defenders in the two places, but 10,000 died because of the cold winter, and 20,000 couldn't bear to be deserters, took off their military uniforms, and passed the life of herding. Wu Ling and Wu Yu led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jeju and met with strong resistance.

Wu Ling and Wu Yu did not rush to attack, they just besieged but did not attack, quietly waiting for Marshal Zhao Yougong to lead a large army to meet with them, gather their forces completely, and then attack Jeju. Wu Ling and Wu Yu ordered a siege but not an attack, and the Jeju garrison Wan Yan Lou was a resourceful general.

It's a pity that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, even though Wanyan Lou Room is brave and good at fighting, and resourceful, but it is difficult to stop the pace of the Song Dynasty army, Wan Yan Lou Room in Jeju town for a month before the food is exhausted, and finally can only fight with the Song army, and finally died at the hands of Wu Lan and Wu Jue.

Zhaozhou was broken by the Song army, Zhao Yougong also led a large army to come, and the Song army's 100,000 troops were stationed in Zhaozhou, only a river away from Huining Mansion. Now everyone does not know the enemy's situation, and they send spies to find out the news, but they find nothing.

"Now Huining Mansion is only separated from our army by a river, if you want to break through Huining Mansion, you can only cross the river, there are few generals who are familiar with water warfare, and this burden is 'handed' to the two of you generals. In the current situation, the Jin Dynasty will never let us cross the river, and will definitely take precautions. ”

After several months of recuperation, Zhang Jun's body was safe and sound, and he put on the array again, and said in a deep voice: "At present, our army has annihilated about 100,000 Jin soldiers, and those scattered soldiers are not in the climate, so there is no need to worry, what I am really worried about is that there is Wan Yan Sheng in Huining Mansion, and there must be follow-up army support, and I don't know how many troops are there." If only two generals, Wu Lan and Wu Jue, go to our army, I am afraid that we will not be able to get any benefits, and there may be a crisis. ”

"Judging from the current situation, if you want to attack by land, it will not only take a detour, but also delay time, and the most important thing is that we are not familiar with those places, and there are rivers all around Hoi Nyeong Province, so it is inevitable that there will be a water war. Therefore, the last general suggested that it was not advisable to take a detour, and the only way was to directly cross the river to 'engage' it and reduce casualties. ”

Zhao Yougong asked everyone what they meant, and everyone was in favor of crossing the river directly, and finally Zhao Yougong decided to order the army to build its own boats, and only send spies to find out the news, and the others were on standby, and after the ships were built, they would attack.

Zhao Gou immediately ordered the officials of the Ministry of Industry to go to the support, and with the help of local materials, the big ship was built. In addition, Zhao Gou selected 'fine' and capable craftsmen from the Great Song Dynasty, with 5,000 people, and this team was escorted to Zhaozhou by 5,000 'elite' soldiers led by Gao Chong.

Zhao Yougong also ordered the army to transport timber from the Great Khing'an Mountains, and Changbai Mountain was not far away, and when the craftsmen arrived in Zhaozhou, the army had already prepared all the materials and waited for them to build. There were 5,000 craftsmen, plus 5,000 'elite' soldiers, a full 10,000 people, and more than 20,000 people who knew some skills in the army.

Originally, it was difficult to complete the shipbuilding in a few months, but under the supervision of Zhao Yougong, the craftsmen also went all out, day and night, with a clear division of labor, and it took only three months to build 30 large ships, each of which could carry more than 3,000 people, and some large ships could even carry 4,000 soldiers.

When the ship was built, Zhao Yougong ordered Zhaozhou to leave 10,000 troops, and the rest of the personnel were all shipped, and more than 10,000 troops under the command of Wu Ling and Wu Jue were the vanguard, and they were familiar with water warfare. In addition, after the ship was built, Zhao Gou sent people to send cannonballs, which Zhao Gou used the experience of later generations to study and add to the ship together with the Ministry of Industry and the armory.

In addition, Wu Ling and Wu Jue also ordered the soldiers to experiment, familiarize themselves, and finally master how to use it. Wu Ling and Wu Jue set sail with cannonballs and walked in the front. Sure enough, the Jin soldiers had already set up a defense on Yan'an, and Wu Ling and Wu Jue immediately ordered the artillery to be fired, only to see the artillery bombardment, completely destroying the enemy's defense line.

When the shells bombarded the enemy's defense line, everyone was stunned, everyone was dumbfounded, they thought about the power of the shells, but they didn't think about the power of such a power, which made everyone amazed, with this divine object, the golden soldiers could resist, and soon broke through the defense line.

Originally, the Jin soldiers thought that they could resist for a while, but they suffered heavy losses after a short period of effort, and the battle of Jiang did not last long, and the Jin soldiers were defeated as if they were defeated, but the Song soldiers were not injured, and after the army arrived on the shore, they brought the cannonballs.

"The emperor has this artifact, why didn't he take it out earlier!" Zhao Yougong saw that the power of the cannonball was too great, and there was no need for a large army to go to fight, and any formation in front of this divine object was not a matter at all, and the flesh and blood could resist it.

Gao Zhong was amazed by the power of the cannonball, he also knew that Zhao Gou had been secretly studying this thing, and he had also witnessed that this artifact had the power to open mountains and rubble, but this time he used it, and saw that after the bombardment started, the enemy soldiers only surrendered, and there was no way to stop it, even a solid shield was also blown into beams by the power of the cannonball.

"The emperor secretly studied this thing, and I have seen it, but it has been unstable. At that time, the emperor sent people to experiment, but it also failed many times, and it was not completely completed until the second emperor returned to Beijing. If it succeeds, it is impossible for the emperor's 'sex' not to use it. ”

Gao Zhong explained on his behalf, this thing has been studied for a long time, but the power is huge, and the damage will be great, if you are not careful, it will cause your own casualties, which is also the reason why Zhao Gou has been reluctant to take it out. If it had been taken out earlier, not to mention the million-strong army of golden soldiers, no matter how many people there were, they would not have been able to withstand such bombardment.
