Chapter 229: Stalemate, Wait
At the end of August of the second year of Jiaxi, the government of Hebei West Road in Mongolia was located, and Zhending Mansion was captured by the Houjin army that suddenly rose up.
The Mongol general Ge Yu and the 20,000 elite men who followed Ge Yu to quell the rebellion on the Hebei West Road, including 10,000 elite cavalry, were all wiped out and none of them survived.
None of the officials, including Lu Yiyu, the pacification envoy of Hebei West Road, and Ren Zhen, the prefect of Zhending Mansion, escaped, and all of them were ordered by Sun Kui, the commander of the Later Jin Army, to be hanged on top of the city tower of Zhending Mansion to expose their bodies.
In addition to the entire Zhending Mansion, Liu Yan, the capital of the Zhending Mansion, and more than 1,000 soldiers led by him escaped because they went to the countryside to capture the people's daughters for the pleasure of Ge Yu's army, but Liu Yan's family all fell into the hands of the Houjin army.
After escaping, Liu Yan, who was pursued by the Jin army, rushed to Zhongdu Mansion non-stop.
Later, the Jin army captured Zhending Mansion, seized countless grains and grass, gold and silver, and ordnance, and even captured the war horses of 10,000 cavalry brought by Ge Yu intact. The momentum suddenly became even worse, and the number of the Houjin army also soared to nearly 400,000 in just two or three days.
Sun Kui, the commander of the Houjin Army, only three days after capturing Zhending Mansion, immediately mobilized a large army again to attack Zhongshan and Zhangde Mansions in two ways. In the absence of any reinforcements, Zhongshan and Zhangde only held out for less than a day, and all the cities were destroyed.
The Houjin army that invaded the city did not burn and loot everywhere as they did in Zhending Mansion, but only slaughtered the main officials and relatives of the two prefectures who originally advocated the harvest, and the rest of the rich families and merchants in the prefecture did not invade much.
So far, in just half a month, the entire Hebei West Road in Mongolia has been occupied by the Houjin army, and the news has shocked all over the world! The emergency documents of all the provinces that originally belonged to Jindi flew to the Mongolian Khan Tent like snowflakes and were still blocked at the mouth of Xiangyang City.
Under the strong military might of the Mongols, the Central Plains and Shandong have not had any major **** for several years, and as for the place near the old Jindu City, there has been no rebellion for nearly ten years, not to mention that like Sun Kui, in just half a month, more than ten big cities and dozens of small cities on the West Hebei Road of Zhenge will be occupied.
For a time, the prestige of Sun Kui and the Jin army began to spread in all directions at an unprecedented speed in the entire foothills of Taihang Mountain. People from all over the country who still have hatred for the Jin country or the Mongols are swarming towards Hebei West Road.
However, in more than ten days, the number of Sun Kuihou's Jin army has soared from nearly 400,000 to nearly 700,000, almost doubling! And this is still Sun Kui following Mu Nuan's suggestion, trying to minimize the number of those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, if they don't refuse, then I'm afraid that the number of people in the Houjin army will already exceed one million.
The Houjin army did not attack the city and seize the land by leaps and bounds as before, but stopped, began to rectify the Houjin army, and announced that it would directly march into Zhongdu after half a month, capture Zhongdu and recover the golden room!
For a time, the entire North and Northwest of Mongolia was full of rumors!
……
When Lu Yiyu was in turmoil on Hebei West Road, it was the second day after Jia Yidao arrived in Xiangyang City.
In the nearly 20 days of siege, for the first time, Kouwen Buhua did not carry out a siege battle around the clock, but stayed in the camp safely. This also made Jia Yidao and Meng Heng in the city breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, a big killer weapon like a thunderbolt bomb is made and used on the day Jia seems to arrive, although it can barely catch up with consumption, but no one can be sure that the mouth temperature will not be nervous, once he has a nerve, he keeps urging the army to attack the city, I am afraid that there will be a time when the system will not be able to catch up with the consumption, once the supply of thunderbolt bombs has a problem, I am afraid that Xiangyang City will really lack the ability to return to the sky.
What's more, the intensification of the production of thunderbolts, there is definitely no guarantee of quality, this situation has already happened when the mouth temperature does not take from the city, there are nearly 20 thunderbolts on the three city walls exploded when flying over the city, so that the Jinghu army defending the city suffered hundreds of casualties.
So much so that when the Jinghu Army talked about the power of the thunderbolt, it was also a change of color when they talked about him with respect.
The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to Xiangyang City. After all, with enough time, the Armoryman will be able to make more and better thunderbolts, and the more certain he will be to defend the city.
At least that's what Meng Heng thought.
But Jia Rudao is a little bit, that is, the simple large grenade of the thunderbolt bomb, the reason why it is easy to use at present, is because the mouth temperature does not take no precautions, and now the power of the thunderbolt is still small after all, as long as there is a strong enough shield, it can block the damage of those shrapnel, and now all the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty have a weakness, that is...... As soon as it rains, turn off the fire!
Come to think of it, if you don't have a warm mouth, you will soon find out this problem. On rainy days, thunderbolts are useless. At that time, the mouth temperature did not take to attack the city, and Xiangyang City was about to fight for people's lives!
However, did the Jinghu army in Xiangyang City fight over the army outside the city? The answer is clearly no.
More importantly, the battle of Xiangyang is not a whole, Xiangyang City is just a part of the entire grand strategy, in Sichuan and Huaidong, there are two Mongolian armies are attacking the city and plundering the land.
The long delay of time is beneficial to Xiangyang City, but it is greatly disadvantageous to the entire Great Song Dynasty!
Jia Rudao is waiting for the news that will make the mouth warm and have to take the initiative to withdraw from the army and negotiate peace!
I hope that when the news arrives, Xiangyang City will still be there. He can only comfort himself like this!
After all, although he sent a lot of troops south, there were still hundreds of thousands of servant troops stationed in Zhongdu Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Hebei East Road and other road mansions, not to mention that there were nearly 50,000 cavalry composed entirely of Mongolian people in Zhongdu Prefecture, and these 50,000 elite cavalry, placed on the North China Plain, I am afraid that it is enough to be worth hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers, not to mention a rabble like the rebels.
On the third day after Jia Rudao arrived in Xiangyang City, Kou Wen Buhua received Lu Yiyu's documents again, and he was already a little impatient in his heart when he lost several cities on Hebei West Road! If there is really a big mess in the rear, I am afraid that even if he is the king of the sect, he will not be able to deal with it in the sweat tent.
On this day, he didn't spend another temptation to attack the lower city! The city had already prepared a thunderbolt bomb, and it was smashed without money, and the result was naturally needless to say, the Mongol army lost nearly 10,000 people again.
Xiangyang City has changed from a weak place that can be taken at any time to a fortified city full of fangs, and it has lost troops one after another, although it is not worth saying it, but Shi Tianze and other generals all understand that the temper of Lord Zongwang has become more and more bad in the past two days.
On the fourth day of the stalemate, Kou Wen Buhua finally received an urgent letter from Hejian Mansion that the entire Hebei West Road was occupied by Sun Kui of the Houjin Army!
At this time, the mouth temperature is not flowering, and finally I can't sit still anymore!
