Even if there are 300,000 soldiers and horses of Jin and 150,000 soldiers and horses of Xixia, they are still invincible to the might of the Mongol army.

Juyong Pass is in jeopardy.

In the military tent, Genghis Khan was discussing with the generals.

Guo Jing bowed down and said: "Great Khan, the Jin soldiers are already at the end of the crossbow, and they will definitely be able to break through tomorrow." ”

Genghis Khan laughed: "Okay, Jing'er, if you can break through the first pass tomorrow, I will make you ten thousand households." ”

Guo Jing didn't have much joy, and said calmly: "Thank you Great Khan." ”

Genghis Khan nodded in satisfaction.

Guo Jing is now quite famous in the Mongolian army, the Mongols are the most valiant and military exploits, he is strong, he is the first soldier in battle, and he also loves his subordinates a lot, so he is quite loved by the soldiers.

Genghis Khan also likes him, a horse who can fight well, and the reason why he just released his words, Guo Jingruo was the first to break through the barrier, and he sealed him ten thousand households, because he received news yesterday that his baby daughter Hua Zheng was pregnant.

However, he didn't tell Guo Jing about this, and planned to tell him about it after the war ended.

"Newspaper. A terrible shout sounded outside the big tent, and the faces of the generals in the tent changed.

Genghis Khan said loudly: "Come in." ”

Immediately, an unkempt Mongolian soldier with scars on his body walked in, fell to his knees, and shouted: "Great Khan, General Jochi...... He ......"

Genghis Khan's face changed greatly, he slammed the table and said loudly: "What happened, tell me quickly." ”

The wounded Mongolian soldier hurriedly told what happened in Western Xia.

Then he said: "Great Khan, of the 20,000 foot soldiers behind us, only one hundred and ten escaped, and the rest of the brothers were all killed in battle, and the general chased the enemy in front of him, only afraid, only afraid of ......"

Genghis Khan's body shook.

The person next to him hurriedly held on, "Great Khan." ”

Chagatai roared in a sad voice: "Big brother, I want to avenge you. So saying, he was about to walk out of the big tent, and Okotai and Torre followed behind them with sad faces.

The generals in the tent looked angry.

Genghis Khan said coldly: "Stop. ”

Wokotai said loudly: "Father Khan, is it possible that the eldest brother died like this?"

Genghis Khan stood up and said in a deep voice: "The warriors of the steppe have never been afraid of death, Jochi, my child, Changsheng Heaven has taken you, and I, the father of Khan, will avenge you sooner or later." ”

"Qiang"

Genghis Khan pulled out his knife and cut off a corner of the table, and said, "I will kill all the Xia people and avenge you." ”

He was very heartbroken, Mongolia has fought many battles large and small, and has never suffered such large casualties, Mongolia only has a total of more than 200,000 cavalry at this time, and this time it lost 30,000.

But Genghis Khan knew that the most important thing now was to break through Juyong Pass and Zhongjing.

Even after Jochi died, Genghis Khan believed that the Mongol warriors were invincible.

The next day, the Jin and Western Xia soldiers suddenly discovered that the Mongols were like crazy and began to storm on.

Juyong is broken.

Genghis Khan refused to surrender, killed him, and joined forces with Jinxia and fled in a hurry.

Led by Genghis Khan, his generals Chagatai, Ogedei, Menglik, Bo'ershu, Muhuali, Huo'erchi, Yilucai, Guo Jing, etc., drove straight into the city, and directly attacked the front of the central capital.

In the middle capital, the news of the Mongol massacre from the front line was received, and the people were panicked.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Wanyan Honglie was dressed in a bright yellow gown, his eyes looked at the city gate, and his expression was full of heaviness.

Yang Kang arched his hand and said: "Father, the Mongolian soldiers may not be able to hold it this time, and my father still needs to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Wanyan Honglie shook his head with a solemn expression: "At this special moment, if I escape, I will inevitably lose the morale of the army, and I will be out of control, and I will not be able to leave." ”

Then he asked: "Xia Guo has been in contact with you all the time, how can you reply over there?"

Yang Kang said: "They have already sent 150,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Wanyan Honglie nodded and said, "That's good, it's good that we made preparations for the fortification of the wall and the wilderness before, and then it depends on who can hold on more." Wanyan Honglie had the idea of moving the capital at this time, and the central capital was too close to Mongolia to be suitable as Kyoto.

The next day, the Mongols began to siege the city.

Suddenly, at the head of the city, the severed limbs and stumps were everywhere, and the screams and screams were endless, like a meat grinder.

Later, Wanyan Honglie and Wanyan Kang even personally climbed to the top of the city, boosted morale, shocked the morale of the army, and the soldiers served to the death, thwarting the Mongol offensive again and again.

The Mongols could not attack for a long time, and immediately ordered a siege.

The Mongols have a characteristic of fighting in the early stage, that is, there are not many logistics food and grass preparations, because their cavalry has super mobility, the Mongols have brought the cavalry tactics to the extreme, plus they are brave and good at cavalry shooting, they generally do not attack the city in battle, first rely on maneuver to quickly intersperse with your important town and big city to surround you, in order to plunder the Quartet as a military need.

Of course, this was only the early Mongol period, when Genghis Khan, like the steppe peoples in the past, had a low dependence on cities, and they often broke down the walls of the city first, destroying the enemy's fortress and making it impossible for the enemy to defend.

In the later period, the Mongols had a large number of subordinate armies, especially after the Mongols strengthened their artillery units, and the siege became much more powerful.

This desperate siege of the city is also rare, and all the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are also very surprised.

......

Western Xia.

Dai Daojin was not idle, and after reinforcing 150,000 soldiers and horses to the Jin State, he immediately ordered Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo to carry out operations.

Suddenly, the Buddhist temples in the territory of Western Xia began to be plundered by several streams of "Mongolian cavalry".

These cavalrymen, it's good if you don't resist, but if you resist, you will be killed.

Most of the Buddhist temples in Western Xia have official backgrounds, and suddenly the snowflakes of twists and turns reached Dai Daojin's desk.

Dai Daojin naturally couldn't ignore it, so he sent his generals to lead the troops to exterminate them.

But these "Mongolian cavalry" are extremely fast, come and go without a trace, and seem to know the movements of the Western Xia army, often when the Western Xia army arrives at the place, only a ruin remains, and the "Mongolian cavalry" has long been gone.

More than a month later, in the imperial study of the Western Xia Palace.

Dai Daojin looked at the news in his hand with a cold face, he was a little shocked in his heart, he just sent Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo to loot the temple, intending to alleviate the danger of money and grain in Western Xia, but he really didn't expect that he just robbed more than 30 Buddhist temples, and the looted money and grain actually exceeded more than three times the annual treasury income of Western Xia.

This has to be a lot of people's fat and people's ointment.

Dai Daojin exhaled, glanced at Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo, and said, "Gong Hongbo, you continue to raise 'grain and grass' for me, Ning Jitong, you go to contact Tubo." ”

Gong Hongbo had no good impression of those so-called monks at this time, to be honest, he was also shocked by the huge amount of money and food he had robbed, and after hearing the emperor's order, he immediately surrendered his hand to the order.

Ning Jitong asked, "Your Majesty, if you contact Tubo, is it to ask Tubo for help?"

Dai Daojin smiled, "The group of people in Tubo, although they are mediocre, but their combat power cannot be underestimated, you go to Tubo, ask them for help first, and explain to them clearly, if the Xia State is destroyed, the next thing Mongolia will deal with is the Tubo tribes." ”

"If their tribal leaders don't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, then you will spend money and hire them to send troops to fight in Xia. ”

Ning Jitong was puzzled: "Hire?"

Dai Daojin nodded, "Yes, hire, we will pay for them to help us fight, if they are interested, the price is negotiable." "What is the money, as long as the Tibetans can send troops over and kill and injure the Mongol army, they will give as much as they want.

In order to reduce the Mongol forces as much as possible, he has long done whatever it takes.

Ning Jitong was a little curious, and nodded thoughtfully.
