Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

This epoch-making siege of Lanzhou City has not yet attracted the attention of all parties. At the same time, the Song Army in Taiyuan Prefecture is quietly advancing westward with a strong posture.

Their goals in the short term are Fugu and Linzhou, but from a grand strategy point of view, they are to make up for the attack on Xixia on the eastern front and prepare for the later Zhaoguan family to destroy Xixia.

On March 22, the second day after the Battle of Lanzhou City, the situation in Haidong's Koryo battle also changed significantly.

After Wanyan Balisu's kidnapper went south, he destroyed every city in Koryo like a mountain torrent and a tsunami.

Their tactics were very simple. Every time they reached a city, they would shoot and kill the Koryo defenders at the top of the city, which was only two or three meters high, with dense bows and arrows.

The terrifying combat power that swept everything made the Koreans frightened, and countless people fled.

During this period, from Xijing to Kaijing, countless cities were abandoned.

In order to more effectively attack the logistics system of the Song Army, after the Jin Army rushed into the city, it would kill everything that could be killed.

Every time the Jin army passed through a city, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The people of Goryeo wailed in pain under the iron hooves of the Jin army, the earth was bleeding, countless people were displaced, countless children lost their fathers, and countless women were reduced to slaves.

What's even more frightening is that the Jin army would kill anyone they saw on the road. As long as they were alive, they would be executed.

Some villages were wiped out.

The rivers in some cities are blocked by corpses.

The wild dog's eyes were red from eating.

Groups of crows hovered in the sky, covering the sky and rushing towards the lifeless city ahead.

In this way, for more than a month, 10,000+ Korean people have died under the butcher knife of the Jin army.

And, following the great famine, more Korean people who fled were starved to death by the roadside.

If you walk on the road, you can see yellow and thin people everywhere, and you can even see some people gathering together to eat dirt.

Next, more people will die, they will not be killed, but starved to death.

War has never brought nothing but destruction.

In late March, countless pieces of information were sent to Xijing and Kaijing like snowflakes.

Every piece of information told Zhao Chen and Han Shizhong that the Jin army was using the craziest way to destroy the Song army's logistics system and bring the war situation to another level.

Zhao Chen's heart sank, and he said, "Why did the Jin army's actions suddenly change? If this continues, we will become more and more passive!"

Han Shizhong said: "The commander now urgently needs a group of cavalry to fight a deep assault battle with the Jin army!"

By March 25th, Wanyan Xiyin's army had arrived in Xicheng, and stationed in Xicheng, more than 100 miles away from Xijing, to build the combat command center of the Jin army here.

At the beginning of April, the results of the front cavalry were reported one after another, and Wanyan Xiyin was obviously very satisfied.

The first step of the plan is being completed in the direction he specified.

Originally, the Song army had the upper hand, but now the balance is slowly tilting.

And with the arrival of the main force of the Jin army, the crisis of Xijing's defense line is also coming.

At the same time, Wanyan Xiyin, on behalf of Emperor Dajin, canonized the false identity of Wang Jing as the Lord of Goryeo, and began to recruit all kinds of powerful people.

Pointing to a wider area on the map, he said with a smile: "Destroy all these places in the south. It is best to let the farmers in Koryo have no food to harvest this year, so that these hundreds of miles of land will be deserted and there will be a lot of people. Refugees flee south!"

Chapter 669 I am the general who hits the goal! (third change)

Just when an urgent report from the north reached Han Shizhong, putting great military pressure on Kaijing, a piece of good news reached Han Shizhong.

The latest [-] horses have all arrived in Fuzhou.

And according to news, the total number of war horses invested by the imperial court in Liaodong this year is [-].

This means that the Liaodong Army will form a large number of cavalry corps.

At this critical moment, it is undoubtedly to send charcoal to the tense war situation in Goryeo.

On the same day, Han Shizhong immediately sent Geng Zhuo to Fuzhou to dispatch all the horses to Kaijing as quickly as possible.

The battle situation is urgent, Han Shizhong intends to adopt the method of veterans leading recruits, and temper a cavalry as quickly as possible.

On the second day of April, Fugu, Zhejia.

"Zhe Shuai, I have high hopes for you, Mr. Sa Li and You." Ah Buhan said.

"Also trouble General Abuhan to thank Sali and Dutong for me."

"When does Zheshuai plan to send troops to attack Taiyuan?"

"I have been suffering from physical illness for the past few days, and I am really exhausted."

"Can Shuai Shuai send General Zhewen there?" Ah Buhan said.

"So when will Sali and Dutong send troops from Daizhou?"

"at any time!"

"Siege Taiyuan with me?"

"To tell you the truth, my court of the Great Jin Dynasty is already raising its troops!" Ah Buhan said.

"Didn't the Kingdom of Jin negotiate a peace truce with the Song Dynasty?" Zhewen said.

"Negotiating a peace and truce, did not say that we cannot fight again!"

"I heard that Wan Yan's mother was defeated by Wu Jie from Taiyuan?"

"Wu Jie's child is just relying on luck." Ah Buhan said, "As long as Zheshuai is willing to send troops, after taking Taiyuan, Sa Lihou will report to the court and seal Zheshuai as King of Hedong!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report! Zhe Shuai, there is an urgent military situation ahead!"

"Enter!"

The messenger came in: "Zhe Shuai, the Song army has conquered Lanzhou!"

Zhe Keqiu jumped up suddenly, and said in shock: "Are you sure?"

"Yes! Zheshuai, we have personally investigated!" said the scout.

"Where's Zhewu?"

"General Zhewu is missing."

Ah Buhan was overjoyed, this discount was just an old fox who was dominating in Fugu and was unwilling to send troops for various reasons.

It's all right now, he didn't want to send troops, Song Jun came to his door.

Song Jun was forcing Zhe Keqiu to send troops.

As long as the Song Army and the Zhejia Army fight, the Jin Army in Daizhou can take the opportunity to besiege Taiyuan, cut off the Song Army's supplies, and even block Taiyuan.

"This is impossible!" Zhe Keqiu said, "With the defense of Lanzhou, it is impossible for the Song army to take it down so quickly. Once Lanzhou cannot be captured immediately, Lanzhou will definitely ask for help from Fugu, but the commander has no letter of asking for help. Received, could it be that the Song army captured Lanzhou in just a few days?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report! Zhe Shuai, General Zhewu is back!"

"Quick! Let him in!"

When Zhewu came in, he was quite embarrassed.

Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Zhe Keqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father! My son is sorry for you!"

"In the end what happened?"

"The Song army suddenly sent troops to Lanzhou, but the boy failed to defend."

Zhe Keqiu asked, "Why don't you ask Weifu for help?"

"The Song Army only fought for a day, and they captured Lanzhou, and the boy didn't have time to ask for help."

Zhe Keqiu didn't wrinkle, Zhewen's expression on one side changed on the spot, Zhewen said: "This is impossible! Although Lanzhou is not impenetrable, how could the Song army capture Lanzhou in one day! This is absolutely impossible!" possible!"

"I don't know very well. I only heard from the fleeing people that the Song army's catapults knocked down the city wall, and the morale of the army was shaken. The elite Song army took the opportunity to cover up and kill them, and the morale of the army lost. I took advantage of the chaos and fled."

"The cataclysm knocked down the city wall?" Zhewen was stunned for a moment, and said, "This is even more impossible!"

"Can the catapult blow down the city wall?" Zhe Keqiu obviously didn't believe it, "Zhewu, tell me the truth, how did the Song army capture Lanzhou?"

"When Hai'er led the main force to the gate of the city, the city defenses were already broken, but the loud noise was faintly heard before, and those who fled later said that the catapults of the Song Army collapsed the city wall."

Zhewen sighed, and said: "Zhewu, you are still too young, those people are clearly making excuses for their negligence, how could the trebuchet blow down the city wall, if this is the case, the Song army came to Fugu , we don't have to keep it!"

Only then did Zhewu come to his senses, and felt that this statement was indeed too absurd.

"How many people from the Song army are here?" Zhe Keqiu said.

"Not many, thousands of people."

"It should be more than that." Zhe Keqiu said, "This may be Wu Jie's forward department, and the main force is still behind."

"Father means that Wu Jie intends to send troops in a large scale?"

"Otherwise, they won't attack Lanzhou inexplicably."

The Jin envoy A Buhan said: "Zhe Shuai, we have already said that the Song Kingdom will not let you go!"

Zhe Keqiu's face was a bit ugly.

In fact, I have always wanted to be self-reliant.

Back then, he was forced to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin. Later, the Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song had a close fight. He wanted to use the Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song to contain each other, and he would hold a large army in the northwest.

This is also possible, even if the Taiyuan Mansion was taken back by the Song Army, he concluded that the Song Army would not easily attack Fugu.

Because both Daizhou and Yunzhong are in the hands of Jin Jun.

If the Song army attacked rashly, it would be tantamount to emptying Taiyuan. The Jin army only needed to go south to Taiyuan to cut off the Song army's retreat.

Unless the Song Army can conquer Fugu in a short time.

Although Song Jun's strength is increasing, he does not think that Song Jun can win Fugu in a short time.

"Father! The Song army is approaching menacingly. We must not sit still and wait for death. Quickly gather the army and meet the Song army!" Zhewu said excitedly.

Zhe Keqiu hesitated for a moment, and said to Ah Buhan: "The Song army did not attack suddenly, but it was premeditated. This commander is determined to send troops to fight the Song army. Going to Sali, you can keep your promise and send troops to cut off the Song army. On the back road, let's besiege and kill the Song army together!"

Ah Buhan said: "Don't worry Zheshuai, such a good opportunity, Sa Liyao will never let it go!"

"Okay! Please!"

With the situation of Fugu, Ah Buhan ran all the way back to Chaozhou.

At this time, Wu Jie's main force had arrived in Lanzhou, with a total of 5 horses.

After reporting the situation in Lanzhou, Wu Jie felt the horror of this giant trebuchet on the battlefield for the first time.

He said: "If you attack Fugu, how long will it take?"

Yang Zheng seemed to be in high spirits, he said: "If we attack Fugu, we should be more prepared and take it within three days!"

"What do you mean by adequate preparation?"

"If there are at least thirty such giant trebuchets attacking outside Fugu City at the same time, Fugu City will definitely be destroyed!"

"Then can you ask us to fight a positional war?"

"What we want is for them to come out to fight positional warfare and make quick decisions!" Yang Zheng said.

Guo Hao took the words: "The war must end in April, otherwise the Jin army in Daizhou is very likely to send troops to Taiyuan and seal our retreat!"

Yang Zheng said: "Judging from the current performance of this new trebuchet on the battlefield, we can do it!"

Guo Hao said, "But there are risks."

At this time, the pensive Wu Jie said: "There is no turning back when the bow is opened, it is April!"

Guo Hao said: "After all, Zhejia has been the general of Megatron Song Dynasty for more than 100 years."

Wu Jie showed a very kind smile, and his tone was as calm as water: "This commander is playing the general."

Chapter 670 The Song Army is Coming! (first update)

On the third day of April, Yu Yunwen, the envoy of the Zhao official family, had just exchanged opinions with the monarch and ministers of the Jin Kingdom on the peace of the two countries and the well-being of the people. He went south and prepared to return to the Song Dynasty. .

At the political level, both sides have saved enough face for each other, but the private knife has never stopped.

The majestic Luliang Mountain, like an ancient monster, crawls between the sky and the earth, stretching all the way to the south.

The emerald green that grows between the sharply chopped mountains looks particularly lively in the early summer wind.

In the valley, the long line winds like a dragon, and the soldiers march silently.
