Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 408

This time, the Mongolian army pressed the border and went out with all its strength.

The Jin Army can only rely on the defense of the impregnable city. There is no way. The only army of the Jin Army that can fight against Mongolia has been killed in Yehuling. If they are defeated, they can only rely on the city to resist passively.

This time the Mongolian army is different from the past. It is equipped with a large number of siege equipment, countless catapults, siege crossbows, etc., and even equipped with more powerful return guns.The cities of the Kingdom of Jin could not stop the attack of the return artillery at all, and were captured by the Mongolian army one by one.

This time the Mongols attacked the gold, and Genghis Khan Temujin went to the battlefield in person, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a battle to destroy the country.

Genghis Khan Temujin first led the main force to fight the Jin army in Huailai, Jinshan, now Yanqing, Beijing, defeated more than [-] troops under Jinshuai Wanyangang and Shuhu Gaoqi, and took advantage of the victory to reach the north entrance of Juyongguan.

The Jin army was unable to fight in the field, and did not dare to fight in the field, so they had to burn iron, pour it on the city gate, seal the city gate, and spread barbed caltrops for more than a hundred miles, assuming a posture of guarding against the dead, and waited for it.

Temujin avoided the real and attacked the weak, leaving only a small force at the northern entrance to contain him. He ordered Guo Jing's archery master Zhebie to take a narrow path to attack the southern entrance, attack from the north and the south, and capture Juyongguan. The siege of Zhongdu was completed, and a combined army of [-] troops attacked Zhongdu.

The gold master Wanyan Honglie was shocked, if in the past, he could have relied on the fortified city of Zhongdu to resist and consume Mongolia to death.However, what Mongolia came to launch this time was a war of destroying the country. The strong city of Zhongdu could not resist the attack of the return artillery.

In the past, the patron Wanyan Honglie could still move south to Kaifeng, but at this time the southern part of the Kingdom of Jin has been occupied by Yang Xin, and the patron Wanyan Honglie can only fight with his back and give it a go.Wanyan Honglie promised the ghost dragon king Sha Tongtian, Master Lingzhi, Peng Lianhu, Liang Ziweng and others a lot of benefits, and even offered rewards for being kings and marquises, ordering them to sneak out of Zhongdu at night, go to the Mongolian camp, and assassinate Temujin.

Marching and fighting are two different things from fighting in the rivers and lakes. The tents of the Mongolian army are scattered all over the place, and the guards are heavily guarded. Sha Tongtian and others just sneaked into the Mongolian camp, and they were discovered by the Mongolian defenders.

No one in the Mongolian army played any duel tricks with Sha Tongtian and others. After a burst of arrows, Sha Tongtian and others knelt down, surrendered to Mongolia, and led the Mongolian army to attack the city the next day. They were so angry He vomited blood.

In desperation, Wanyan Honglie had no choice but to release carrier pigeons at night, asking Yang Xin to lead his army to rescue him.

Wanyan Honglie was very clear-headed, and understood that only Yang Xin could defeat Mongolia. Therefore, Wanyan Honglie sent a letter to Yang Xin, and stated that as long as Yang Xin led troops to rescue, he would give up the title of emperor and abdicate As a virtuous king, and not attached to military power or political power, he only hopes that Yang Xin can set aside a private land for himself to house the old and young of the Kingdom of Jin.

"Wanyan Honglie is at the end of his skills!" Yang Xin laughed and said after receiving Wanyan Honglie's distress letter. Immediately, Yang Xin summoned an army and prepared to send troops to Yanjing, the central capital, to rescue Wanyan Honglie.

"Kang'er, my father has never begged you for these years. This time, I am asking you to let my father be the vanguard and lead the army to Yanjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom." Yang Tiexin heard that Yang Xin wanted to raise an army, so he hurriedly found Yang Xin to ask for help. road.

Looking at Yang Tiexin's earnest eyes, Yang Xin understood that Yang Tiexin's request was not as simple as saving Wanyan Honglie, it was a struggle between two men, and it was time to end the love-hate relationship between the Yang family and Wanyan's family. Yes, Yang Xin agreed to Yang Tiexin's request, and Yang Xin asked Qiu Chuji to escort Yang Tiexin.

After all, the love and hatred between Yang Tiexin, Bao Xiruo, Guo Xiaotian, Li Ping and Wanyan Honglie all started because of Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji never passed by Niujia Village.Then, those golden soldiers who secretly followed him would not die in the courtyard of Guo and Yang, and likewise, Wanyan Honglie would not see Bao Xiruo and never forget her.

Those golden soldiers will not die in the hands of Qiu Chuji, and the Guo Yang family will not be implicated in the future.The Guo and Yang families will not be affected, Li Ping will not go into exile in the desert, and Guo Jing and Yang Kang will be born in Niujia Village safely.Naturally, the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River would not go to the desert either.

And without Guo Jing's help, Temujin would have died in the hands of Jamuka and the others, and the Mongolian ministries would not have been unified.If Mongolia cannot be unified, there will be no Western Expeditions.Gunpowder would not have been introduced to Europe.Without gunpowder, the dominance of heavily armored knights in Europe would not be shaken.Therefore, the Dark Middle Ages will be extended by 1000 years, and there will be no Renaissance.

Without the Renaissance, naturally there would be no great voyages.North America will always be home to nomadic Indians.Likewise, the Spaniards would not introduce iron cannons to Japan.The Battle of Nagashino was won by Takeda, and Japan's Warring States Period will continue to be unable to unify.

In Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie did not have Bao Xiruo, so he could only participate in the power struggle with all his strength.As a result, the Kingdom of Jin will suffer civil strife.Without Mongolia, the Kingdom of Jin was in civil strife. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty would not perish, but would become stronger.The Song Dynasty focused on commerce and trade, therefore, the buds of capitalism will appear in China.

If it develops to today, China will be the most developed country, far ahead of Japan, Spain, Western Europe, the Americas... Today's financial crisis will not appear, everything is due to Qiu Chuji, you say you Taoist, Don't make alchemy if you have nothing to do, what are you doing in Niujia Village!

Far away, the army under Yang Xin's command quickly mobilized, with a total of 50 troops, assembled in Kaifeng Mansion, and then went south into Luzhou.Luzhou, today's Changzhi, Shanxi Province, was the top party in ancient times. This was the nail that Yang Xin drove into the Kingdom of Jin, and it was also the bridgehead for Yang Xin's army to enter Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

After the army assembled, they marched towards Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Yang Tiexin directly rode the giant wolf, Gray Wind, and took the lead. He led the vanguard and rushed to Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Yang Jiaqiang.

Yang Xin wanted the Kingdom of Jin to consume more of Mongolia's strength, but after seeing the brutality of the Mongolian army, he immediately changed his strategy and tactics. The army was divided into three groups, one led by himself to rescue Yan Honglie, and the other blocked Temujin's return The last road is to gather war horses, one person with three horses and five horses, forming a surprise army, taking advantage of the junction between Jin Kingdom and Xixia Dangxiang, to enter the Mongolian grassland, draw the bottom of the pot, and cut off the roots of Mongolia.

Although the Mongolian army is powerful, it has a fatal weakness, that is, there are few people. As long as this part of the army turns into a surprise soldier and wipes out the disaster on the grassland, the Mongolian people will come, as long as the things on the grassland spread to the Mongolian army In China, Mongolia firstly withdrew its troops, and secondly, it desperately captured the central capital of Yanjing and then withdrew its troops.

No matter how the Mongolian army chooses, as long as Yang Xin's army blocks the return route of the Mongolian army, no matter how strong the Mongolian army is, they can only drink hatred on the land of the Central Plains.

Yang Tiexin led the vanguard all the way to the outside of Zhongdu, and after resting for two days, he launched a charge against the Mongolian army.As a result, Yang Tiexin underestimated the combat power of the Mongolian army. Before Yang Tiexin set off, Yang Xin repeatedly told him not to be brave and not to engage in a decisive battle with Mongolia. , trenches with muskets, machine guns and artillery positional warfare.

Yang Tiexin wanted to show his bravery in front of Wanyan Honglie, and led the vanguard army to charge the Mongolian army with cold weapons. The result was heavy losses. If the giant wolf Huifeng hadn't used ninjutsu at the last moment, They rescued Yang Tiexin and Qiu Chuji, who had fallen under the Mongolian cavalry long ago.

Yang Tiexin and Qiu Chuji, who had escaped from the sky, were much more honest, and they no longer dared to be brave, so they had to lead the remnants, hang the Mongolian army far away, and wait for the arrival of Yang Xin's army.

Wanyan Honglie in the city was overjoyed to see Yang Xin's soldiers and horses come to rescue him, but when he saw Yang Tiexin who rescued him, Wanyan Honglie thought of Bao Xiwei, and thought of his beloved woman being soft and charming under others, Quyi Chenghuan couldn't help feeling as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, so he just sat and watched Yang Tiexin's defeat.

In fact, Wanyan Honglie had no other choice but to sit and watch. The Jin army was already frightened by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and they didn't dare to go out to fight in the field.

When Yang Xin's army arrived, Wanyan Honglie's heart was hanging in his stomach.

Compassion does not command soldiers!The defeat of Yang Tiexin was not due to the covetousness and fear of death of the soldiers. It was Yang Tiexin's personal reasons. Yang Xin did not let him go because of his status. , Yang Tie's heart was bruised from the direct beating. Of course, Qiu Chuji was no exception, and received the same punishment.

After Yang Xin's army arrived, they did not launch an attack on the Mongolian army. Instead, they stationed on the spot, built camps, dug trenches, and formed horns with the central capital, a posture of fighting a protracted war.

Temujin ordered Zhebie, Muhuali and others to take advantage of Yang Xin's army's unsteady foothold to test and attack first. Yang Xin did not send troops to fight, but relied on the camp to guard against death, and did not use muskets, artillery, etc. Weapons, only use grenades to fight back when they are in danger, repel the attack of Mongolian iron cavalry, and then hurry up to build camps, dig trenches, and defend to the death!
Yang Xin did this to buy time for the other two armies.In this era, the mobility of the Mongolian army is too strong. If you can't block the Mongolian army here and let it return to the grassland, it will be a protracted war, which is not in line with Yang Xin's plan.

Yang Xin's plan is to finish his work and battle, to deal with the main forces of the Mongol army and the Jin army under the city of Zhongdu, and wipe out Genghis Khan Temujin, Okuotai, Meng Ge, Tuo Lei, Jebe, Mu Huali and others.This time the Mongols poured out of the country and gathered the stars, giving Yang Xin the opportunity to catch them all. If one of them returns to the grassland, it will cause a storm, not to say that it will cause much trouble to Yang Xin, but that the toad will not It bites people and it responds to people. With that time and energy, it is better to develop people's livelihood and build more schools.

Therefore, Yang Xin did not dare to expose his powerful firepower, and even showed his weakness to the enemy.The grenade was better. After all, when the Jin army was defending the city, it would also bomb the Mongolian army with the primitive gunpowder weapon of thunder, which did not arouse Genghis Khan's suspicion.

Wanyan Honglie also knew that he was at the moment of life and death, so he desperately joined hands with Yang Xin to fight against the enemy, which created an illusion for Temujin, thinking that no matter how hard he worked, he would be able to kill Wanyan Honglie and Yang Xin.

As a master of military art, Temujin would never have made such a mistake if he was young, but the achievement of destroying the country is right in front of him, and Temujin is already old, and he wants to destroy the Kingdom of Jin in his lifetime, so, Then they mobilized the rear forces and gathered outside Yanjing, the central capital, to attack Wanyan Honglie and Yang Xin.

Wanyan Honglie defended by the city wall, and Yang Xin defended by the camps and trenches, forming a protracted battle, which lasted for less than half a year.In this small half a year, Yang Xin seemed to be beaten passively, but in fact the troops practiced large-scale outflanking tactics.

The Mongolian army's maneuverability is too strong, and the patrol area is too wide. Yang Xin's army did not dare to dig trenches to encircle it. They just dug holes along the way and planted explosives on the Mongolian army's return journey to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.

The news of Yang Xin's partisan army slaughtering the grassland finally reached Zhongdu, the camp of the Mongolian army, and Yang Xin's other troops also blocked the way for the Mongolian army to return to the grassland, and they were heading towards Zhongdu. Let's go, in a state of encirclement.

Temujin was shocked!
However, although Temujin was shocked, he did not panic. At this time, Temujin still believed that the Mongolian cavalry was invincible in the world, and he was going to fight with all his strength tomorrow. Take Zhongdu, defeat Yang Xin, and then return to the grassland.

However, at night, three figures struggled to break through Yang Xin's encirclement, entered the Mongolian camp, and met Temujin.

"It's you, Jing'er, Ben Khan's son-in-law is here, hahahaha!" Temujin looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Khan, hurry back to the grassland, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Guo Jing said worriedly.

Guo Jing, Hong Qigong and Huang Rong came to meet Temujin with great determination and perseverance. Guo Jing and the three of them understood that if Temujin was defeated in Zhongdu, there would be no one in the world who could match Yang Xin. Letter aspirations to the world is just around the corner.Yang Xin is a Han Chinese, so there is nothing wrong with aspiring to the top of the world, but both Guo Jing and Hong Qigong, influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, think that it is best for Yang Xin to seek refuge in the Song Dynasty.

Guo Jing also persuaded Yang Xin in a letter, but Yang Xin just replied, I don't want Guo Jing to be speechless once Fengboting is gone.

Guo Jing and Hong Qigong also entered the imperial palace several times at night, and told Zhao and Song officials the truth about death. Unfortunately, the feud between the Jin and Song Dynasties was at the forefront, and the dragon Veserion was in Tangzhou, directly sealing off the front line of the Yangtze River. Dare to take the initiative to attack Yang Xin, and Zhao Song's official family is still dreaming of ruling the river. At worst, they will show up as ministers and claim to be the lord of the south of the Yangtze River. Anyway, they are all Han people, of the same species, and everything is easy to say...

In the end, when Guo Jing and Hong Qigong came to see Temujin, Huang Rong was worried and followed closely. Huang Rong followed because she was afraid that Yang Xin would kill Guo Jing and Hong Qigong. Huang Rong was so confident because of her own identity. Huang Yaoshi's daughter, and Huang Yaoshi works under Yang Xin's seat. With this relationship, there is some kind of incense. These incense can save the lives of Guo Jing and Hong Qigong. Well, at least they can guarantee Guo Jing's life. Life.

In Huang Rong's heart, Guo Jing will always be the first, and Hong Qigong has to be second.I don't know if Hong Qigong would cry and faint in the toilet after knowing Huang Rong's thoughts.

Temujin didn't take it seriously, and told Guo Jing about the battle in the past six months. When Guo Jing learned that Yang Xin's army didn't use firearms at all, his face was so gloomy and terrifying that Temujin turned pale with fright, because Tiemuzhen Mu Zhen had never seen Guo Jing's face like this.

"Khan, you were deceived by Yang Kang! The strongest thing in Yang Kang's army is not bows and arrows, nor swords, but guns! It's not the guns Khan has seen before, but this kind of gun!" Guo Jing took from the long package behind his back. Out came a gun.

This gun was stolen by the disciples of the Beggar Clan who died under the leadership of Hong Qigong and many people came out of Yang Xin's army. Hong Qigong wanted to imitate it, but he couldn't make it at all. Not to mention the gun barrel, the proportion of gunpowder alone killed many craftsmen, and the gun barrel bombed the hall, and many more people died. Hong Qigong simply put out the idea of ​​imitation.

"Gun?!" Temujin stroked the cold gun body and narrowed his eyes.
