Chapter 163: Coercion and surrender

The escape of Jin Wushu and the others was discovered by the special combat soldiers patrolling the city wall with binoculars at the beginning, and reported to Li Yun and Shi En, who led the class, and Li Yun personally went to Zhao Chongyang's residence to make a report.

Zhao Chongyang heard that Jin Wushu and the others had fled overnight, and knew that they had been cut down by the light cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, and their heads would not be protected if they didn't leave.

The original plan was that everyone got up to carry out the fire attack at the end of the day, but now that the situation has changed, Zhao Chongyang had to send a signal in advance to get everyone up.

Knowing that the little marquis was in an emergency, the generals did not wait for the notice, and after everyone got up, they all went to Zhao Chongyang to listen to the order.

Pang Qiuxia told everyone the news that Jin Wushu had escaped overnight with a small number of people, and asked Zhu Wu, Chai Jin, Li Jun, Lu Junyi, Fang Tianjie, Fang Tianjun and others to go in for a meeting, and the other generals waited outside.

Zhao Chongyang first said: "Now that Jin Wushu has fled with nearly 10,000 people and major generals, let's see if we can recruit all the remaining Jin soldiers without bloodshed, these are high-class labor, and sending them to several islands to work can reduce a lot of expenses." ”

Zhu Wudao: "The little marquis has this idea, so let's break it all down, the Ximen people are the least, first capture the Ximen, and then get the east gate." First take a few thousand men out of the south gate, open the gate of the dock to the west, surround the camp of the Jin people from the outside, and then send out cavalry from the city gate, and order them to surrender with their arms tied, otherwise they will be destroyed on the spot. ”

Fang Baihua added: "Bring more torches, and after surrounding, the torches will be lit and swim around the periphery, and it is difficult to distinguish between virtual and real. As soon as the cavalry in the city was pressed, the enemy army naturally panicked. ”

Zhao Chongyang added the details, and asked Pang Wanchun, Qiu Qionghu, Dai Zong, Shi Qian and others to carry out the execution with 1,500 special soldiers and 2,000 marines. The cavalry in the city was organized by Fang Tianjie, Shi Jin, Luda, Wu Song, Liu Tang and others.

And Zhao Chongyang, Zhu Wu, Fang Baihua, and Fang Tianjun continued to plan.

Zhao Chongyang said: "It is not difficult to subdue the two or three thousand people outside the West Gate, but the difficult thing is the Jin soldiers outside the East Gate and the North Gate, and it is estimated that there should be more than 10,000 people outside the East Gate, and the Jin soldiers outside the North Gate are the most, estimated at about 15,000 people."

The number of people in these two places far exceeded our total number, and when the enemy saw that our numbers were small, they scattered and broke through in all directions, and our plan could not be successfully completed. ”

Zhu Wudao: "For today's plan, the only way to do it is to use the strategy of doubtful soldiers." The composition of the Jin Bing consists of three parts, of which the main one is the Jin Man. Another third were Liao and Han Chinese. The Liao were captured in previous battles, and the Han were captured by their ancestors, and their status within the Jin soldiers was very low, and they were often mistreated by Jin soldiers and generals. ”

The princess said: "Zhu Junshi means to win over this part of the Jin soldiers and become our own people." In this way, there will be more and more of our soldiers? ”

Zhao Chongyang said: "Good way, just do it." After a while, when the captives of Ximen arrived, they first selected the Han soldiers, pacified them with good food and drink, and then asked them to call out the Liao soldiers and ask them if they would like to join the Song army, and give the same treatment to the Han soldiers, at least two yuan per month. You can give each of them four taels of silver as a guarantee, and if they are not satisfied after joining, they also have travel expenses to make a living. ”

Fang Tianjun said: "You can tie a part of the grass man on the periphery, and light a torch on the head of the grass man, which can make up for the lack of some troops." ”

Zhao Chongyang said: "This plan is also fine, more than 2,000 people in the city, each of them wants to tie one, and after a while, each person will tie it, and everyone will take it to the east gate and put it away." ”

Zhao Chongyang said in his heart: "It seems that the great man of another time and space is right, the masses are the real heroes." By giving full play to the wisdom of the masses and pooling their wisdom, many difficult problems can be easily solved. ”

Half an hour later, Fang Tianjie and others escorted 3,000 troops back to Dalian City. Zhao Chongyang took the princess and others, and immediately acted according to the plan, divided and disintegrated the three thousand captives, and soon got more than 1,000 surrendered soldiers.

Zhao Chongyang immediately gave them the promised four taels of silver, and let them happily carry two torches each and follow the Song army out of the city to carry out the mission.

However, it was said that the defenders outside the east gate were partial to Han Buli, and when Jin Wushu left, he handed over 11,000 people to him to be in charge, and several other generals assisted him.

Although he is not brave, because of the perennial battle, he still has a good idea of what kind of battles he can win and what kind of battles he can't. Jin Wushu took all his cronies and generals away this time, and he thought that Jin Wushu had made two preparations: if the sneak attack was successful, everyone would be happy. If it doesn't go well, the fourth prince of the Golden Vulture will flee with his people first, abandoning most of them.

He gathered a few generals, told everyone about his analysis, and asked the others what their plans were. Some say that they can't escape, and the infantry can't win the war horse after all.

Some said, don't blame us for being unrighteous if he is unkind, it really can't be done, tell the Song people good conditions, as long as we can save everyone's lives, we will surrender to the Song army. At most, it is better to be a coolie than to die in vain like this.

Han Buli said: "Since everyone says so, as long as I find that the situation is not right, I will take the initiative to contact the Song army to surrender tomorrow morning." Let's get a good night's sleep tonight, and get up early tomorrow to see what happens. ”

So, Han Buli ordered. All the soldiers had a good night's sleep, and they didn't have to patrol the camp at night, and the Song army would surrender if they couldn't win when they came.

Therefore, when Zhao Chongyang and the others came to the East Gate with thousands of people, the entire camp was blind and black, and there were no patrol personnel at all.

They surrounded the camp on the perimeter with great success, and lit thousands of torches in a matter of minutes, and in an instant the whole east gate was like daylight.

At the same time, the gates of the city were wide open, and three thousand light cavalry were quickly killed in the city.

The entire east gate immediately bombed the camp. After more than 10,000 Jin soldiers were woken up, they saw such a scene: thousands of torches on the periphery, and heavily armed Song cavalry outside the camp. There was a roar, "You are surrounded, surrender!" "Surrender to avoid death, play the resistance to kill!"

Sure enough, there is no escape. If you don't surrender, when will you wait? Han Buli walked out in front of the soldiers and said in a loud voice in the direction of the cavalry: "I am the temporary commander here, please answer the Song army's commander." ”

Lu Junyi stepped forward and said, "I am the commander of this cavalry, what do you have to say to me." ”

Han Buli said: "As long as you promise not to kill us, I will surrender to your army with 11,000 soldiers outside the east gate." ”

Lu Junyi said: "At this point, I can assure you in front of the soldiers of the three armies on both sides that as long as you tie your arms, line up and follow us into the city, and do not try to resist, we will never kill a single person in vain, and those who violate it will be destroyed by heaven and earth." ”

Han Buli saw that Lu Junyi not only agreed to his request, but also swore a poisonous oath. So he told everyone to line up in several columns as required, and the back ones tied up their arms in front with ropes......

Zhao Chongyang didn't expect that the Jin soldiers who were forced to land at the east gate were unusually smooth.

Next, according to the established method, the 4,000 Liao and Han people in this part of the Jin soldiers were selected, and after some division and disintegration education, they were allowed to join the Song army to deal with the enemy army outside the north gate.

This time, they far surpassed the Jin people in terms of strength, and Zhao Chongyang and them were almost the same as the Jin people in terms of quantity.

Due to the addition of 5,000 Toucheng soldiers, the number of torches on the periphery of the north gate was no less than 20,000, and although the cavalry was still only 3,000, the dazzling number of torches on the periphery formed a greater deterrent.

However, the temporary head of the Jin soldiers here is not as sober as Han Buli, he is a die-hard militant who has always believed that their Jin people are invincible. He first organized the 3,000 people under his direct command, and then said to several other generals that they would rush out together regardless of life and death.

Then take the lead and rush to the north. Fortunately, several other generals were watching each other, and they were all afraid of the 3,000 cavalry behind them. Therefore, the 3,000 golden soldiers who rushed to the periphery suddenly became a lone army, and after rushing to within 80 steps of the infantry outside, Pang Wanchun gave an order, and thousands of crossbows fired in a volley, and in less than five minutes, 3,000 people did not survive.

The sacrifice of 3,000 gold soldiers was valiant but meaningless, and instead promoted the surrender of the remaining 12,000 men.

Seeing that they couldn't rush out at all, the remaining generals immediately led their men to kneel down and ask for surrender......

At five o'clock in the morning, of the 29,000 people abandoned by the Golden Vultures, all but 3,000 were wiped out, and the remaining 26,000 surrendered.
