Chapter 210: Can't Let It Go

This night, the Jin army attacked three rounds, and there was nothing to gain except for the dead bodies left in one place, and Yuguan did not move. Seeing that the strong attack on Yuguan could not be captured, Alu Bu began to play soft, and sacrificed the means of surrender. He sent one of the rebel officers in the army to persuade Ma Wei to surrender, and the two began negotiations under the city.

"General, you have only led such a small number of soldiers to climb the ice and lie in the snow and fight here for such a long time, but your emperor refuses to send a single reinforcement, once the city is broken, the whole army will be destroyed, it is better to surrender earlier!" The demote persuaded.

"Hehe, don't be funny, my city wall is broken, but I have a sharp weapon in my hand, there is food in Pingzhou City, I only take half of it, and even the dogs in the gate are full, don't you fight for a long time and can't get in?" Ma Wei replied with a smile at the head of the city, "It is you who should be worried now, the siege is most afraid of the soldiers trapped in the city, and there are not many food and grass belts in a hurry, you better withdraw quickly, when our reinforcements arrive, no one can save you, so you should return to the country!" ”

If you can't persuade you to surrender, don't be persuaded by the other party, Alu Bu hurriedly recruited people back. It was not possible to surrender the lord in this way, so he changed his course and tried to recruit Ma Wei's subordinates, and sent soldiers who knew Chinese to shout, which means that if the official wins, he can be added to the official and get a reward, and you soldiers and the common people will follow and mix with what, accompany him to death, it is better to surrender the city!

At the same time as shouting, Arubu also ordered someone to shoot a reward order into the city, which read: Kill the main general of the Song army, take the property and women in the pass, seal the commander of ten thousand masters, reward 500 slaves, and 100 hectares of fields. This price is not low in Jin Guo, and he also promised it with courage. The soldiers of the Marine Corps are all 'brainwashed'. Just when they fart, the people have been watching it for so many days. The Song army was small in number, but the old owner had no temper, and Yingzhou and Pingzhou had fallen into the hands of the Song army. A while ago, they should have been killed, so no one responded.

Ma Wei didn't bother to talk nonsense with them anymore, and ordered someone to write directly on the back of the bounty order shot in by the Jin army, 'Kill Aru Supplement, double', and ordered someone to shoot back to the Jin camp. As soon as Alubu saw that the lure could not be achieved, he threatened to leave no chickens and dogs after breaking the city, and beheaded the Han people caught around the city. This time it is even worse, but he has done ideological work for Song Jun and the people, and no one pays attention to him. It also made everyone's will more resolute, and vowed to live and die together with the city.

This time, Aru Bu is completely out of line, he is completely inferior in the fight with Ma Wei, but this cannot be said to be a waste wood with a vain reputation, a general from a nomadic can be familiar with the method of siege, and can use it freely, it can show that he is a fierce general with high military quality. But Ma Weineng relied on the firearms in his hand and the meager troops to defend the dangerous city, and he was not a simple character. He has a lively brain, quick reaction, and when he sees the moves, he is really Arubu's nemesis. It was like a hedgehog that met a weasel and planted it in his hands.

After fighting for more than ten days, he failed to take Yuguan, so he divided his troops to attack the nearby pass. But the Song army was heavily guarded and was not allowed to enter. To no avail. The brave and warlike Arubu suffered a heavy blow, and he drank all day in the camp in a depressed state. Drunk to the ground, the Dading army that had come on an expedition was also seriously reduced at this time, and the grain and grass were about to run out, and the morale was low.

Seeing this, Ma Wei immediately fell into the ground, and constantly sent troops to carry out small-scale counterattacks, and even concentrated the limited cavalry of the three marine brigades to attack the grain transport team sent from Liaodong, and burned all the grain and grass transported to the Alu replenishment army, so that the Jin army had to hunt and kill war horses to satisfy hunger, and morale fell into a trough, and soldiers began to flee continuously. In order to appease the soldiers, Aru Bu ordered the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle to be collected and buried in the large pit dug during the construction of the earth mountain, and piled up into several huge mounds, but this was even more disturbing, and Aru Bu couldn't help but cry loudly when he looked at the grave.

At this time, the Jin soldiers who survived the battle of Yanjing escaped through mountains and rivers and defected to the Aru camp, informing him that Yanjing City had been lost, and Wushu was defeated under the city, and the news spread rapidly among the army, causing greater panic. Various rumors spread among the Jin army, speculating about the fate of several princes.

Ma Wei didn't feel like it when he heard it, and immediately added fuel and vinegar to tell them: Zongfu has been shot to death indiscriminately, Wanyan Xiyin has betrayed Jin after being captured, and Wushu was blown up by artillery under Yanjing City, and the broken bones and corpses of Wushu are gone! He spread the 'news' widely, and tossed Aru to death. After hearing this, the Jin army became more discouraged and depressed, and although Aru Bu came forward to refute the rumors, it was difficult to change the situation, and it was about to lose control. The last straw that can overwhelm Aru Bu is an urgent report sent from the 'hometown': the Song army raided Dading Mansion and conquered the city in one day.

Dading Mansion is the station of Alubu, his family is small, and his wealth is there, but now it has been broken by the Song army, and he can't go back if he wants to, and what is more dangerous is that he has fallen into the encirclement of the Song army, and he may be annihilated at any time, and he quickly withdrew his army in a panic. However, he wisely chose to flee to Liaodong instead of trying to recover Dadingfu and avoid the fate of being completely annihilated. With the withdrawal of the Jin army, the Battle of Yuguan, which lasted for nearly twenty days, ended...

…………

Since its establishment, the Liao State has successively conquered the Bohai Kingdom, Goguryeo, Xi Nationality, and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Inherited the old capital of the Bohai Sea, Liaoyang Prefecture, and set up the Tokyo Province to rule the Bohai and Goguryeo regions; Set up Nanjing Xijin Mansion to rule the sixteen states of Yanyun. Although the Xi people have been annexed to the Liao state, they still pose a threat to the rule of the Liao by their concentrated clansmen and advanced production methods.

In order to control the Xi people for military purposes, the ruler of the Liao State built the Dading Mansion in the land of the Seven Gold Mountains and Tuhe sacrificed by the Xi people. It is located in the upper reaches of the Liaohe River, north of Yanshan, and its geographical location is close to the Central Plains. It borders the Jurchen homeland in the east, Yanjing region in the south and west, and is at the junction of North China and Northeast China and Mongolia, controlling a vast area and being the throat of the important place, and later changed to Zhongjing Road, which governs ten states and nine counties, and Dading Mansion has also become the largest capital of Liao.

The Zhongjing area is located in the transition zone between agriculture and animal husbandry, and its special geographical location makes it have both traditional nomadic economy and agricultural economy. After the completion of the Dading Mansion, the Khitan implemented the policy of 'Han households', and the other ethnic groups that were taken captive were mainly Han Chinese to this area. The Han people from outside brought advanced agricultural and handicraft techniques, which played a role in economic development, and the advanced economic production methods have since spread to other regions. With the development of agriculture, the gradual rise of handicrafts and commerce led to the overall development of the economy. The increase in the urban population of Dadingfu and the increasing perfection of the urban system have made it an important city both economically and militarily...

If the Song Dynasty occupies the strategic point of Dadingfu, it will get a base to advance and at the same time pocket the land of Monan, enter to attack the Jin Shangjing and Beijing areas, and retreat to defend Yanjing and Datong, which is equivalent to inserting a wedge in the soft belly of the Jin State.

The purpose of Zhao Ta's launch of the Battle of Yanjing this time was originally to completely recover the Yanyun region, so that the vast Central Plains region could be a barrier and avoid being threatened by the iron hooves of the nomads all day long, and Dading Mansion was not in his plan. But as the battle progressed, he found that the fighter plane was looming. If the Jin army sent reinforcements from Dadingfu, it would inevitably lead to an emptiness of troops, as long as they were dragged back, Zhao's troops who were outside the Yanjing battlefield could rush to Dadingfu. The troops who captured Yanjing could also get plenty of time to rest and recuperate, and then they could control and occupy the vast area of the Zhongjing region of the original Khitan after leaving Gubeikou.

If this campaign can be successful, it will strategically form a two-sided attack on Jin, create conditions for the next step to completely solve the Jurchens, and at the same time establish a base for advancing northward, and intervene in the struggle for Mobei and suppress the rise of the Tatars when there is a power vacuum in this region after the decline of the Jin state. The scope of the Great Song Dynasty's power was further expanded to the north.

The emperor's bold plan surprised a group of generals and important ministers gathered in Yanjing, recovering Yanjing is an immortal achievement, and the army has been fighting for nearly two months, it is inevitable that there will be fatigue, whether it can continue to advance north to shoulder the heavy responsibility is inevitably worrying, once defeated, even Yanjing will be lost. A more realistic problem is that the Great Song Dynasty government is not ready to receive more areas at all, and the officials, materials, weapons, and even the heart are difficult to accept for a while.

However, Zhao Ta was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and decided to let Zhao Yan's troops, who had been assisting and maintaining complete combat effectiveness, turn into the main attack, and organize an elite army to attack Dading Mansion for thousands of miles to gain a foothold. Zhao Yongbu hurriedly transferred to rest for ten days, during which he replenished troops and mobilized materials, and mobilized people from Hebei Road to send the weapons and ammunition hoarded in Zhending to Yanjing Mansion.

In the battle to capture Yanjing, the Song army attacked Pingzhou and fought Yanjing quickly, because of the rapid action, the Jin army had time to destroy the stored food and materials in the future, these things were enough to support the needs of a campaign, and the supplies could be solved on the spot without the need to transfer thousands of miles from the interior, and the heavy troops of each army could bear it.

At the same time, Zhao Ta personally held a meeting to congratulate the victors in Yanjing City, and rewarded meritorious service according to the law of awarding knighthoods for military merits. He personally awarded the banner of the Yanjing Brigade to the Tiger General Baggage Brigade, promoted Lou Qian to a major general, sealed the Marquis of Yuyang, and rewarded a hundred hectares of land. The number of knights in the engineer battalion has reached 20, and nearly 100 officers have been awarded, and all of them have been rewarded. Other combatants were also rewarded and awarded medals according to their military exploits.

With the division of a large area of land in Yanjing Mansion, the silk silk stored in the treasury was gone. Stimulated by honors and heavy rewards, the morale of the Song army reached its peak, and the officers and soldiers were filled with the desire to fight ... (To be continued......)
