"Report! King of Liaoyang, after Yang Yi broke through the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, he left 15,000 men and horses to defend Zhongjing, and led 30,000 horses to the east along the Daling River, and even broke the cities of Fufu, Jianzhou, and Xingzhongfu. ”

"What, Yang Yi led the army east?"

"Yes, King Liaoyang, Yang Yi marched too fast, destroying the city and the pond all the way......."

"Let me ask you, where is Yang Yi's army now?"

"King Liaoyang, the villain doesn't know."

"Don't get out of here and explore again!"

"Yes."

After Yan Lou let out a deep sigh, he ordered the scout to explore Yang Yi's whereabouts again. In these years, the means of communication were backward, and Yang Yi's speed of marching was comparable to that of a six-hundred-mile urgent messenger, and when the information reached the Wanyan Lou room in the Songshan Pavilion, Yang Yi had long since disappeared.

When he received the news from Jinzhou, Wanyan Lou couldn't help but be very surprised, Yang Yi went all the way east, not every city must be attacked, but if he can fight, he will go around the city if he can't break it for a while;

And after conquering those cities, he never left nostalgia, let alone troops to garrison, he attacked these cities for only one purpose - to replenish grain and grass.

Wanyan Lou couldn't help but ask in his heart, what is Yang Yi going to do? In this way, if he does not leave a way back, the reckless lone army goes deep, if he rushes to Beijing and directly hits the head and paralyzes Daikin completely, it is understandable, but he is not.

Going into the depths alone, and not hitting the center directly, this is undoubtedly a taboo for soldiers, with Yang Yi's many years of experience in using soldiers, how can he make such a mistake?

Then he must have another conspiracy.

Wan Yan Lou's eyes wandered on the marching map, and soon fell on the location of Liaoyang Mansion, and for a moment he was almost sure that Yang Yi was the idea of attacking Liaoyang Mansion.

But there is one thing that makes Wan Yan Lou very confused. The city of Liaoyang Mansion is as high as two zhang, which is more than that of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing. And there are 20,000 troops stationed, which is not as empty as Zhongjing.

Yang Yi didn't care about the back road. Attacking Liaoyang alone, he is not afraid of being blocked under the fortified city?

Even if he was sure to capture Liaoyang, Jinzhou and other cities in western Liaoning were still in the hands of the Jin army, as long as Dajin sent additional troops, he could cut off his contact with the Song army in Zhongjing and other places, and trap him in Liaoyang.

Although the firearms of the Song army were at stake, as soon as the back road was cut off, and without ammunition supplies, they became toothless tigers. Doesn't Yang Yi understand this? Why would he do that?

Wanyan Lou Room pondered for a long time, and still couldn't understand Yang Yi's intention for a while, and finally looked eastward again, and when he landed on Goryeo, he couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that the Song Kingdom actually colluded with Goryeo?

It is very likely that Goryeo has always admired the Song Kingdom, from the monarchs and ministers to the ordinary people. At the beginning, under the heavy pressure of the Liao State, he also quietly sent people to cross the sea to pay tribute to the Song State..........

"Crossing the sea, crossing the sea............" Wan Yan Lou murmured to himself, and his heart was shocked. He shouted urgently: "Someone, someone, immediately rush back to Shangjing to report to the Great Sage Emperor." Ask the Great Sage Emperor to send troops to reinforce Liaoyang Mansion, and Yang Yi will capture Liaoyang. He will probably get supplies from the sea.........."

When Yan Lou hurriedly ordered his subordinates to report to Beijing, Yang Yi had already joined Liu Wu in Haibei Prefecture. Then he waved his army eastward again and went straight to Liaoyang Mansion.

Haibei Prefecture is less than two hundred miles away from Liaoyang Mansion, and all the way to the Liaohe Plain, the speed of the cavalry can be fully exerted;

, Yang Yi led an army of nearly 40,000 troops, and in less than two days, the troops came to the city of Liaoyang.

Liaoyang city east of Liaodong mountain, west of Liaohe plain, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period began to build the city, Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji captured Liaodong City, Liaoyang Mansion.

In the following year, on the basis of the old city of Xiangping, Liaoyang City was repaired, changed to Dongping County, placed a defensive envoy, and "cast iron phoenix to town", because it was called Tiefeng City.

In the third year of Tianxian (928), Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang was the emperor who ascended the throne, changed Liaoyang Mansion to Nanjing, as the capital of the Liao Dynasty, moved the capital of Dongdan to Liaoyang, built Dongdan Palace, and migrated to live in Yelu.

In the first year of the Liao Hui (938), Nanjing was changed to Tokyo and Liaoyang Mansion was placed.

After the expansion of the emperors of the Liao Kingdom, today's Liaoyang City has become a male city with a circumference of 30 miles and a city wall as high as two zhang, and the city is divided into 8 gates:

The east gate is called Yingyang, and the southeast gate is called Shaoyang;

The south gate is called Longyuan, and the southwest gate is called Xiande;

The name of the west gate is Dashun, and the name of the northwest gate is Da Liao;

The north gate is named Huaiyuan, and the northeast gate is named Anyuan.

Yang Yi's army of 40,000 stopped at the Dashun Gate at this moment, hunting with banners, and the ten thousand horses were hoarse, so not majestic.

The raid on Liaoyang was planned a long time ago, and on the surface it seemed like a dead move, because as long as the Jin army cut off Liaoxi, Yang Yi's tens of thousands of horses would become water without a source and a tree without roots.

But in fact, as long as Yang Yi succeeded in raiding Liaoyang, he could get a steady stream of supplies and even reinforcements by sea.

Now the shipping of the Great Song Dynasty has been very developed, and ten naval gunboats have been built before and after; At present, six ships are still parked in Qinzhou Port in Guangnan, and the remaining four ships belong to the Dengzhou Naval Division;

These four gunboats will escort the supply convoy from Dengzhou, cross the Bohai Sea, enter Liaodong Bay, and then go upriver from the Liao River to the vicinity of Liaoyang City.

In this way, Yang Yi's tens of thousands of troops are no longer a source of water, but have become a wonderful move, forming a serious threat to Shangjing from the east.

The Liaohe Plain is one of the richest areas in Liao, with extremely developed farming, hundreds of thousands of border households, and thousands of miles of cultivation, and has always been the main granary in the north of Liao, and the density of prefectures and counties and villages even exceeds that of Nanjing Road.

The main inhabitants are the Bohai people and the Han people, as well as many Khitan, Goryeo, and Jurchen people.

Yang Yi's army came too quickly and too suddenly, and the people in those villages outside the city didn't have time to dodge at all, and Yang Yi was not polite, and immediately asked Yelu Ming to raise food and grass.

Hehe, I'm helping you regain lost territory, this is at least still your Liao's land, if you don't raise food and grass, who will go, as the host, you can't let us go hungry to help you fight, right?

When the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom heard that Yang Yi had let Yelu Ming do all the things that offended people, she couldn't help but rush to him to theorize, and Yang Yi replied to her lightly: "Terry." Could it be that you still want to rule Liaodong in the future? ”

Just this sentence choked the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom. No, what Yang Yi promised was to let them build a country in Mobei. It's not Liaodong, that is to say, no matter now or in the future, this land and the people here no longer belong to her Liao country, and the Liao army is going to grab some grain and grass, what are they anxious about?

With Yelu Ming to raise grain and grass, Yang Yi doesn't need to worry too much, what he has to do now is to capture Liaoyang City as soon as possible, as well as sweep away the surrounding states and counties.

It's just that the army is galloping thousands of miles, and it's too tiring. Therefore, Yang Yi also had to take the lead and camp for half a day, and at the same time use this time to build siege equipment.

The defender of the city will stay in Tokyo to guard Wanyan Sahan, there were originally 25,000 men and horses in the city, after sending 5,000 reinforcements to Jinzhou, now there are 20,000 people left, Wanyan Sahan looked down from the city, saw that Yang Yi's soldiers were strong and strong, and he couldn't help but be worried.

Wanyan Sahan's worries came mainly from the situation in the city;

The population of Liaoyang is close to 300,000, mainly Bohai and Han Chinese; Two months ago. Yelu Yanxi was defeated in the Hulunbuir grassland, and Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, immediately united with the Han people to rise up in Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Bohai Sea, and changed the Yuan to Longji.

In fact, the Dajin Kingdom did not take Liaoyang City from the Liao State. but from the Bohai and Han Chinese;

Although Gao Yongchang was defeated at the time of the Yan Lou Chamber's Eastern Crusade, the pattern of the city's Bohai people and Han people did not change. Moreover, the suppression of Wanyan Lou further exacerbated the contradictions between the Jurchens and the Bohai and Han people.

Now Gao Yongchang's whereabouts are unknown. No one knows when he'll come out and make trouble again.

This added unpredictable variables to the defense battle of Liaoyang City.

In the final analysis, it is because of the beginning of Dajin. The country is not stable, and the people's hearts are not attached.

Yang Yi rushed to Liaoyang Mansion, the key lies in a quick word, so he will definitely not be as slow as in Dading Mansion, as soon as the camp is set up, let the soldiers rest for half a day, he immediately ordered to attack the city overnight.

Liaoyang City leads the Liang water as the moat, the Liang water is also called the Taizi River, during the Warring States Period, the Yan Prince Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the Qin Wangzheng attempt, the following year, the Qin army broke through the Yan State Jidu (Youzhou), Yan Wangxi and the Prince Dan led the people to retreat to Liaoyang.

Prince Dan hid in Yanshui, and King Yan listened to the plan of Wang Jia on behalf of Zhao Guo and killed Prince Dan to sacrifice his head to King Qin; In order to commemorate Taizidan, the locals called Yanshui, that is, the Daliang River, the Taizi River.

If Yang Yi's army wants to attack Liaoyang City, it must first fill in the moat as a passage for the siege. He now has a total of 38,000 troops at his disposal, ostensibly adopting the siege method of encircling the city and one city, and deploying 10,000 siege troops on the east, south, and west sides.

Countless torches rose above and below the city, as bright as day, and in the earth-shattering sound of war drums, tens of thousands of troops rushed to the moat with shields and sandbags on their backs;

The arrows of the Jin army in the city rained down, crackling on the shield of the Song army, and Wanyan Sahan even set up a trebuchet, huge stones were thrown into the air by the trebuchet, whistling and smashing down, making a dull "puffy" sound, you can feel the shaking of the ground from a distance, and the bones of the soldiers who were smashed are gone, and the death is extremely tragic.

Yang Yi arranged two hundred flintlock muskezeers under each of the three city walls, and they spread out beyond the range of bows and arrows in the city, constantly firing point shots, "Chirp! The gunshots came and went, and the Jin army that leaned out from between the battlements to release arrows was violently attacked one by one, and blood and flesh were splashed all over the city.

The eastern, southern, and western walls are fighting fiercely, and the momentum is huge, while the north side of the city wall is quiet, only the water is bubbling around the north beam of the city.

The Jin army in the city had limited troops, and most of them were divided into the three city walls, leaving only a small number of troops in the north city to defend, and rows of torches were also lit on the city to prevent the Song army from sneaking up.

Li Yizhong took five hundred men and horses, took a small boat, went down the Daliang River, and quietly approached Anyuanmen in the hazy night.

Although the offensives on the other three sides are huge, they are actually covering and containing, but in fact, Anyuanmen is the breakthrough point selected by Yang Yi.
