In modern military operations, the requirements for later supplies and other aspects are extremely strict and cumbersome, and the preparations began from Xiao Ming and others getting off the ship, and this military operation had already been deduced as early as Weihai, and Han Shizhong was the chief of staff of this campaign.

Han Shizhong also has a deep understanding of the war mode under the use of new weapons in the past two years, he recalled that Xiao Ming led him to fight several battles before, the use of firearms and weapons is always used at the most critical moments, and in the last few wars, projectile weapons are used as the main offensive weapons, and their destruction and power are incomparable.

Therefore, in view of such a situation, the combat plan he formulated was very detailed to a certain extent, which force was the main attack, which unit was covering, which regiment was placed on the flanks, and where the artillery should be positioned, all of which were explained in detail.

However, Xiao Ming changed the location of this plan to a different location, that is, Hebei East Road to capture the Daimyo's Mansion! Han Shizhong was puzzled, Xiao Ming explained: "Now we have a huge army in Liaodong, don't look at it as only sixty or seventy thousand, but it is enough to be worth one million Jin soldiers, and there are not so many Jin soldiers!" The reason why this is the case is to erase the existence of the Jin Kingdom in a thunderous way in the entire Liaodong! ”

"You're saying my plan is too detailed?" Han Shizhong asked.

"Be detailed, it is impossible to hold Huanglongfu with 200,000 horses in Dajin Kingdom, their cavalry has no advantage, and they are fortified and defended, is there a wide range of firearms to defend the city, in fact, as long as we use the strength of one division, we can push it over, we have enough troops now, of course, we can't use it intensively, but after scooping Liaodong, it is very likely that in the near future, you will lead the tiger division to cross the Yellow River and directly take the Daimyofu and even Yanjing City, at that time this plan will be useful, You have to defeat more than 100,000 gold soldiers with more than 10,000 troops, and this is a good opportunity to train! ”

Han Shizhong said: "I understand, we are basically invincible!" ”

"That's right! There is no one in this world who can beat us now, but there are several reasons why we don't fight early or at any time, one is our logistical supply, and the other is to choose the right time! Now for me, there is no need for the Golden Kingdom to exist anymore! ”

……

At the beginning of April, Xiao Ming's military operation had begun, and the Royal Guard, together with Yerusha's Leopard Division and Ma Haishu's Wolf Division, launched a devastating offensive against the Jin soldiers on the periphery of Tongzhou and Hanzhou.

Xiao Ming's army was assembled and distributed under the city of Tongzhou, which has always been an outlier in the entire northern land, thinking that its city is more than 20 meters high, and it is built with stones to be extremely strong, and there is a moat of nearly three meters under the defense of the four cities, and there are 130,000 troops in the city of Jin Bing and 50,000 or 60,000 people in the city to help defend the city!

Not only that, Tongzhou City also has a large number of city defense weapons, not only rolling wood and stones, arrows and all kinds of spears are also very sufficient, and there are also weapons such as bed crossbows, which were originally captured by the Liao army to defend the city, these years Jin people have looked for a lot of craftsmen, built a large number of bed crossbows for city defense, if you want to attack the city, it is really not so simple.

The Jin soldiers tried to use such a fortified city to resist Xiao Ming for at least two months, and then the army that had withdrawn from the Central Plains region would arrive, so they had stored a large amount of grain and grass materials in Tongzhou City early in the morning, enough for them to hold on for more than half a year!

In the face of such a fortified city, if the Royal Guards, which are completely infantry, attack, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, and the generals of the Guards are very worried about this battle, and report the enemy situation to the General Staff Headquarters, asking Xiao Ming and Han Shizhong to make a decision, and this time without waiting for Xiao Ming to speak, Han Shizhong became angry: "What are you afraid of?" Storm! ”

Han Shizhong's strong attack was not blind, he already had a clear understanding of Xiao Ming's operational ideas, so an artillery that gathered all the large-caliber artillery of the Leopard Division, the Wolf Division and the Guards Army was arranged to the artillery position outside Tongzhou City, and the muzzles of two cannons were aimed at Tongzhou City.

In the early morning of the third day, Han Shizhong gave the order to attack on behalf of Xiao Ming, with the waving of the red and bird flags, the muzzle of the cannon faded from the cannon coat, and the artillerymen were busy under the command of Qian Baguang, and the artillerymen transporting the shells were all shirtless, but still sweating profusely.

When the sun in the morning light just appeared, but was shaken back by the shaking of the earth, the fierce shelling hit the city wall of Tongzhou City like hail, with the explosion of the cannonballs, the fragments of the city wall flew sideways, even the stone city could not withstand such a fierce bombardment, and the place marked by Qian Baguang was the abbot of the city wall outside the south gate of Tongzhou.

At the same time, it was bombarded by nearly two hundred shells at the same time only a few dozen meters to the left and right, this kind of trick is the first time that Qian Baguang has played, and with an earth-shattering loud bang, this wall collapsed with a bang! In the smoke and dust, the golden soldiers defending the city howled: "The city is broken! "Scattered.

The south gate of the city gate was almost directly destroyed by the direct-aim artillery, and the chains that collected the bridge flew in mid-air, and with a shout, the royal guards followed the cavalry team to swarm in, this time Han Shizhong specially organized thousands of war horses for a quick assault, and this time they were the first to rush into the city.

With the sound of gunfire and explosions like bursting beans, the stubborn Jin soldiers in the city were completely defeated, this is a kind of battle without any suspense, even in melee and street battles, the Jin soldiers can not get any advantage at all, the guards are far away with guns, close with grenades, the organizers of the tight formation in the city to advance, so the opposing Jin soldiers are constantly defeated.

The general of the Jin Army guarding Tongzhou is the younger brother of Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan pulled out quickly, he saw the war and knew that everything was over, even if he had 100,000 soldiers, and there was a strong city that was still crushed by Xiao Ming like pinching tofu, and he was unable to return to the sky, he ordered a breakthrough.

To put it bluntly, it is to escape, suddenly the two city gates of Tongzhou to the north and east were opened, and the embarrassed golden soldiers swarmed out, they did not open the west gate because the entire west gate had already appeared with the army of the Guards, and the two roads converged into a road The golden soldiers fled to the north, but not far out of the city, I saw two big flags erected in front of me, and the black flag and red characters on the big "Song" word bright blood red.

The other banner is a red banner with a big black character on it: "Xiao!" Then behind was a dense red uniform, a figure with a rifle appearing, this is a strange soldier ambushed by Han Shizhong again!

As the Jin soldiers on the horse were shot off their horses, the Song army suddenly burst out with shouts at the top of their throats: "Surrender or kill!" "This meaning is too obvious, that is, if you surrender, you will not be killed, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed, this momentum is incomparable, and in fact, the Song army ambushed here is only 8,000 people.

The Jin soldiers surrendered, and the total number of prisoners in the city and those who broke through and escaped was no less than 100,000! Xiao Ming was overjoyed, and Qian Baguang leaned over and said, "Master Hou, this time we don't lack labor slaves, right?" ”

Xiao Ming reprimanded: "What kind of lord Hou, he will scream nonsense, get it old money, I know what you mean, go pick some people to help you pull the cannonballs!" Qian Baguang's eyes narrowed happily, and he shouted! And the man was gone.

The battle was just over a morning from the beginning to the end, when the prisoners were pressed to the south, just in time for the guards to eat, the army went to eat with a smile, looking at the grizzled Jin soldiers prisoners, some Hebei soldiers opened their mouths happily and laughed, and the soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom were so vulnerable!

This battle captured countless gold, silver, grain and grass in Tongzhou City, as well as nearly 100,000 prisoners, which can be described as a great victory, and Xiao Ming slept lazily and got up, and really caught up with the front to start catching prisoners, I just ordered to go down, "There is a wine reward for dinner today!" Then go to Han Shizhong to ask about the results.

In the afternoon, the battle damage of all parts was also reported, and there were more than a dozen casualties in each regiment and division, because the soldiers were so excited when they rushed into the city that they were wounded by stray arrows, and in general there were less than 15,000 men in one division and two regiments of the siege troops, but more than 30,000 of the Jin soldiers were sent to the siege.

The wounded were immediately transported to the ambulance for first aid, this time the army had its own military doctor to follow, and even a few sealed ambulances, for the wounded Jin Bing, there were on-site medical guards to treat the injured Jin Bing, and the ones who could be saved were sent to the ambulance, and the soldiers were given mending the knife for those who were hopeless, so as to end his suffering.

The military industrial system of the Guards does not need to count the enemy's heads, so the soldiers do not cut off their heads, which also saves a lot of golden soldiers, and some people who pretend to be dead have been taken prisoners, otherwise they will be put in the past, and those who can't pretend to be dead will be cut off with a knife.

After conquering Tongzhou City, Xiao Ming ordered a three-day rest, and then continued to march north, he was not in a hurry at all, and he knew that the Jin soldiers were limited, and there were not many people at all, coupled with his behavior of catching strong men a while ago, many Jurchen tribes either fled north or fled across the Changbai Mountain, and even many people entered the Goryeo Kingdom, so the soldiers of the Jin soldiers became more and more nervous.

Even if they want to use cavalry to attack their flanks or rear, Xiao Ming is not afraid, even if you come, it is nothing more than sending some people to death and prisoners, so he moved forward steadily and unhurriedly, and swept all Jurchen strongholds and tribes along the way.

Within ten days, Xiao Ming scooped down Weizhou and Xinzhou, less than ten miles away from Huanglong Mansion, the army besieged the city only in the evening, along the way the Jin soldiers fled, leaving the local Han people and some other ethnic groups, the Jurchens were even more fine, thinking that they knew that the Song people seemed to like to catch slaves.

On this day, Xiao Ming led the army on the march, and the troops set up an offensive formation when they approached the seven or eight miles of Huanglongfu, and looked at the war drums all the way forward, at this time, they saw thousands of horses, cattle and sheep in front of them from a distance, and there were countless carts, which did not look like they were fleeing, and when they approached, they knew that it was an envoy sent by the Jin State to sue for peace.

Xiao Ming asked the envoy to bring over, Xiao Ming saw that it was no one else, it was still an old acquaintance, and the golden envoy was Wanyan Zongwang! Xiao Ming said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Zongwang, but now you are learning the allusion of Zheng Renxian's master and coming to reward me?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang looked at the white robe and gold belt, he was the prince of Dajin, but now he also looked old, and now he was ashamed to see Xiao Ming, but the mission of seeking peace had to make him lose his old face, so he stepped forward and knelt down to worship, and said: "The special envoy of the Jin Kingdom for peace, Wanyan Zongwang, wants to see King Xiao!" ”

Xiao Ming laughed and said, "Get up!" ”
