Seeing Tie Zhu come back, Jia Cong nodded.

"Tell me, how did your trip go? How did Amin choose?"

"Back to the marshal, Amin chose to make a bet with the marshal, and when he saw the bait thrown by the marshal, Amin was a little red-eyed at the time, this is Amin's letter to the marshal, and please ask the marshal to open it himself."

As he spoke, Tie Zhu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jia Cong with both hands.

Jia Cong took the letter and read it carefully.

After a long time, Jia Cong handed the letter in his hand to Lin Daiyu beside him.

As Tiezhu said, Amin chose to take a big gamble with himself.

The battlefield was set in Shenyang, the barbarians defended, Jia Cong's army attacked, and the two sides engaged in a battle.

Amin will raise 200,000 troops and garrison Shenyang City, which belongs to the defenders of the city.

Jia Cong must also send 200,000 troops, and the forces of both sides are equal, evenly matched, and they are the besieging side.

In the end, whoever occupies Shenyang City will be the victorious side.

If Jia Cong wins, Amin will lead the whole clan and belong to Jia Cong, but Jia Cong's order will be obeyed and will not betray for the rest of his life.

If Amin wins, he will get a large territory in Liaodong, the entire northwest prairie, and Jia Cong's firearms manufacturing skills, Jia Cong can leave with his family, or he can stay in Liaodong, but he must no longer intervene in the Central Plains War.

It's basically the same as Jia Cong's suggestion, and it hasn't changed much.

The only difference is that each side sent 200,000 troops, the same number.

This is very unfavorable to Jia Cong on the besieging side.

In siege warfare, the losses of the besieging side will be very large.

With the same number of troops, it is difficult for the besieging side to capture the city.

There is a cloud in the art of war: 'The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, and the enemy will be able to fight, and if it is few, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided.' "

Obviously, this is not very fair to Jia Cong's side.

However, Amin also said that Jia Cong has powerful artillery and firearms, and if the whole army attacks and occupies a numerical advantage, it will be too unfair to their side, and they don't have to fight at all.

If you want everyone to be convinced, you have to fight fairly.

Now the number is the same, with Amin's side having the advantage of defending the city, and Jacques having the advantage of artillery.

On the whole, the two sides are evenly matched.

It's not that Amin doesn't want to send more people, it's that there is no one to send.

There are only about 500,000 people in the entire barbarian race, and these 200,000 people are estimated to have pulled out all the young and strong.

This still occupies Shenyang, gained a lot of population, and more than 100,000 people died in front, and the current strength may be the limit.

In fact, the current population of Liaodong is not large, only five or six hundred thousand.

During the time that the barbarians occupied, they plundered another part, and the population was even less.

It's still the past two years, and Jia Cong has issued a policy of clearing the wasteland, which has attracted a lot of people, otherwise the population will be smaller.

This is also the reason why Jia Cong wants to carry out the military camp.

After all, there are more than 300,000 troops under his command, and if these people have land and property in Liaodong, coupled with preferential policies for soldiers, it is estimated that most of them will bring their families to settle in Liaodong.

At that time, the population suddenly increased.

The more people there are, the same amount of output value is created, and even if it is tax-free for five years, there will be income after five years.

Jia Cong retracted his thoughts and glanced at everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the beginning of spring, we and Amin will have a decisive battle, each side will send 200,000 troops to conduct an offensive and defensive battle on Shenyang, and the victory will be decided in one battle. If we take Shenyang, even if we win, Amin will lead the whole clan to join us.

If we can't capture Shenyang, then we will lose, Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe are all owned by Amin, and our firearms manufacturing methods will also be handed over to Amin, and I will take you to the sea and no longer care about the Central Plains.

Li Biao, you selected 200,000 elites from the 300,000 army and focused on training

Practice siege warfare so that they can adapt to the battle and prepare for the next big battle. And from these 200,000 people, 10,000 elites will be selected for raids."

Li Biao stood up and saluted: "Yes, the subordinates receive the order."

Lin Daiyu put down the letter and looked worried.

"With the same troops, we, as the besieging side, are a little too bad, and besides, this gamble feels a little too big, Dashuai, are you really sure?"

Jia Cong smiled at her: "You still underestimate the power of firearms, if this commander is willing, he can raze Shenyang City to the ground overnight, and he doesn't need to send troops to attack the city." However, it would not do us any good to do that, and it was not necessary.

Ben Shuai made such a big bet just to attract Amin and them to take the bait, and the moment he made his decision, he had already lost cleanly. What we have to do is to convince him of the loss, and to reduce the casualties, after all, they will all be their own people in the future."

Qingwen smiled: "We have a kind of artillery with a range of ten miles, which is more powerful than the ones you saw in the capital, but the commander doesn't want to use it easily."

Lin Daiyu heard the two of them say this, so she nodded.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, you can know that this war should be very certain.

In that case, you don't have to worry about it yourself.

Jia Cong looked at Tie Zhu and asked, "Tie Zhu, has Amin said anything else?"

"Go back to Dashuai, no, if Dashuai has no opinion, I'll go again and inform them, the time of the big battle, do you want to decide now?"

"Don't worry, there's still some time to leave spring, and it's not too late to wait for the beginning of spring. In this time, you just need to be prepared."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "By the way, Tiezhu, how is the infiltration in Shenyang City? How did you arrange it over there?"

"Hui Dashuai, the second batch of special combat members, has completed training, a total of thirty-six people, of which twenty are following ten veteran members, and they have infiltrated Shenyang, waiting for Dashuai's orders at any time."

Jia Cong nodded: "You inform them, after Amin's 200,000 troops move into Shenyang, the first task is to find out the residence and whereabouts of those main generals, but don't alarm them, take the next move, and wait for orders."

"Yes, my subordinates will receive orders."

Qingwen said, "Dashuai, what are we doing?"

"It's nothing for the time being, Li Biao is responsible for the selection of 200,000 troops, and Tie Zhu is responsible for the infiltration of Shenyang, if you are idle, go to the sand table to deduce, how should we fight this battle, so that we can easily win and reduce casualties."

Qingwen blinked: "Dashuai, aren't these things you have to think about?"

Jia Cong smiled, "If you don't use your brain, you'll really become a stupid girl."

"Cut, what's there to think about here, just pull out the cannon and hit it, just blow down the city wall and rush in. If we don't just blow up their barracks, they won't have any fighting power."

Jia Cong shook his head: "A battle of 400,000 people, how can it be so simple, besides, we can't kill all these people, so we need to make a good battle plan, you all think about it during this time."

Lin Daiyu said: "We will think about it, but if we want to come out, then we don't know."

Actually, that sand table deduction is quite interesting.

After Lin Daiyu played a few times, she gradually became a little interested.

This girl is smart and has a good understanding, and after some training, it's no problem to be a staff officer.

Jia Cong smiled and bowed slightly.

Actually, Jia Cong didn't count on them, just found something for them to do, don't let them be too idle.

Before Jia Cong considered this game, he already had some ideas of his own.

In the days to come, it will be more or less perfect.

This battle must be won against them, but not too many casualties, no

However, even if they are attached, it will be a trouble to get along.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat them easily, but also to convince them to the heart, which is the purpose of this battle.

······

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the following year, the ice and snow melted, and everything was revived.

The imperial court again sent messengers to urge Jia Cong to go to war.

This time, Jia Cong did not refuse again, and agreed to the request of the imperial court, asking them to wait for their good news.

This side also agreed with Amin, and on April 1, the two sides fought a decisive battle in Shenyang.

The newly built palace is also ready to move in.

Jia Cong handed over the arrangement of the palace to Mandarin Duck, Raider, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin and others.

Wangcai personally sent fifty trained maids, all of whom were drawn from the royal palace on Jeju Island.

In addition, a lot of exquisite decorations were also shipped, as well as a number of daily necessities.

Wang Shun and Borchi also knew that Jia Cong's palace had been built.

The two also personally sent fifty Mongolian girls to serve as maids in the palace.

These people are currently managed by mandarin ducks, leading them to clean the palace once again.

Then, all kinds of furniture, all kinds of decorative ornaments, neatly placed, all the palace is properly arranged, and when it is time to move, you can move in directly.

Jia Cong plans to wait for the war with Amin to end and then move into the palace to celebrate the housewarming.

In this case, it can be regarded as a double happiness.

Amin's 200,000 troops entered Shenyang City one after another and entered a state of combat readiness.

Jia Cong also commanded his 200,000 troops, left the Liaoyang military camp, and came to the city of Shenyang.

Ten miles away from Shenyang, a large camp was set up, and a big battle was about to break out.

Wang Shun, Zhang Hu, and Borchi, after hearing the news, also rushed over to watch the battle with a team of personal soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 1st.

Jia Cong sat on the platform, and below stood the generals of each battalion.

Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Li Biao, Chunlan Qiuju and others stood behind Jia Cong and acted as guards.

Jia Cong glanced at the generals below and said, "Generals, this battle is very important, and I hope everyone will act according to the order."

"Obey the orders of the commander."

"Xie Qiong."

"The end will be."

"Ben Shuai ordered you to lead the death battalion to take the lead and test the enemy's reality."

"The last will obey."

"Lee Seung-jo."

"The end will be."

"This commander ordered you to lead the Shenji Battalion to cover, aim at Shenyang, and bombard three rounds first."

"The last will obey. I won't let you down."

Jia Cong shouted: "Beat the drums, send troops, the army moves forward, and all the soldiers and the commander watch the battle together."

"Honorable Commander."

"Knock, knock, knock······"

The earth-shattering sound of war drums rang out, deafening, and resounded through the sky.

The morale of the army was high, and they rushed out of the barracks and came to Shenyang City to set up a formation.

Three hundred cannons were the first to push out, aiming at the enemy troops at the head of the city.

Li Chengzu shouted: "Open the cannon."

As soon as his voice fell, three hundred cannons opened fire together.

"Whoosh ······"

"Boom, boom, boom ······"

Three hundred shells flew towards the city, some exploded on the city, some on the city walls, and some fell into the city and exploded.

For a while, there was an explosion, and the roar continued.

The defenders on the city wall were blown up so that people turned over on their backs, hugged their heads and ran around, screaming again and again, and they were immediately in chaos.

The barbarian generals shouted, "Hide, hide behind the walls."

at

In the loud roar of the explosion, it was difficult to travel too far.

Some of the smarter ones ran behind the walls and hid.

Some of them were frightened and ran for their lives, and most of them were killed by the shells from behind.

After three rounds of artillery, Xie Qiong led the death battalion, carrying a ladder and pushing a siege vehicle, and rushed to the city wall.

"Brothers, rush to the city for Lao Tzu and kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

······

Xie Qiong's death camp rushed to the city wall, erected a ladder, and quickly climbed up.

The movement here was also noticed by the enemy troops on the city wall.

"Sons, the enemy is attacking, hurry up to the city wall and beat them down."

When the officers and soldiers defending the city heard the order, although they were still a little scared, they returned to the city walls.

Seeing that the enemy was about to climb up, they picked up the Rolling Wood and smashed it down.

Others scooped up the golden juice from the cauldron and poured it underneath.

The soldiers of the death battalion who were climbing couldn't dodge, and some were directly hit by the rolling wood and thunder stones, fell down the ladder, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Some were poured gold juice on their faces, and they screamed and fell off the ladder.

Xie Qiong organized five charges, but they were all beaten back, and he didn't even touch the edge of the city wall.

Jia Cong held a clairvoyant mirror and watched the scene on the battlefield from a distance, without the slightest wave on his face.

"Inform Xie Qiong to suspend the offensive, stay put, and wait for the artillery bombardment to attack again. Inform Li Chengzu to let the Shenji Battalion conduct two more rounds of artillery bombardment to continue to suppress the enemy's morale."

"Yes, my subordinates will give orders."

A moment later, Xie Qiong's death camp temporarily retreated.

At the same time, the "boom" cannon sound sounded again, and one after another, the cannonballs flew up to the city again, bursting open, and causing a burst of ghosts and wolves to howl.

"Fuck, it's been fired again, hurry up and hide, and come out when the fire stops."

You don't need to shout to everyone to know that staying in the city is waiting for death, and one by one runs faster than a rabbit.

After only a few moments, there was no one left in the city.

As soon as the cannon stopped, Xie Qiong once again commanded the soldiers of the death battalion to rush to the city wall.
