Fenghou

Chapter 1495 Migration
Street fighting broke out, and the defense of the cities in the Kingdom of Jin was slightly different from that of the cities in the Central Plains. The Jurchen army built another fortress in the city. The fortresses were all made of large stones and were very strong. Each fortress could accommodate hundreds of soldiers. The inside is full of food and clean water, even if the outside city is breached, dozens of small castles inside will continue to be attacked.

Liaoyang City was like this, and so was Shangjing City. The defenders in the city quickly withdrew to the castles and continued to fight against the Western Army with bows and arrows.

These Goryeo soldiers are all North Goryeo soldiers, tough, fierce, and stubborn, while the Goryeo soldiers in the Liaoxi Corridor are South Goryeo soldiers with low morale and extremely weak combat effectiveness. Although they are all Goryeo soldiers, their fighting will is completely different.

Although these Goryeo soldiers who fought fiercely with the Western Army in the streets and alleys were very stubborn, they were all infantry, and they were no opponents at all against the Western Army's cavalry. Yu Gaoli's soldiers were all killed by the cavalry of the Western Army.

The next step is to gnaw down the hard bones one by one, one after another. The effect of using small iron fire mines is not great, and it is not cost-effective to use large iron fire mines, and the cost is too high.

The Western Army soon discovered that using kerosene was the best way to deal with the fortress. Not only the fire, but even the smoke would be unbearable to the people inside.

But the arrows in the fortress are very powerful. Soldiers with kerosene bags will be shot down if they get close to it. Although the fierce oil fire cabinet can be approached, the amount of kerosene sprayed is not enough.

Chen Qing immediately ordered to dismantle the north and south city gates and let heavy trebuchets enter the city. The city gates were dismantled and widened, and large trebuchets were dragged into the city by strong bulls.

At this time, Chen Qing was standing in the center of the city, watching the largest military castle. The military castle covered an area of ​​[-] acres, was about four stories high, covered with small windows, and surrounded by a wall outside. Surround the castle.

Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers hid behind the window and shot at the Western Army with crossbow arrows. The main general Wanyan Chi was also in this military fort.

Now, even if the soldiers inside were not burned to death by the fire, they would be suffocated to death by the thick smoke, almost suffocating to death.

Without too much delay, Chen Qing transported all the enemy soldiers outside the city, burned them and buried them deeply, and then began to disinfect them with quicklime on a large scale. The Liaodong area itself is rich in lime. Chen Qing used [-] Korean prisoners of war to mine lime, and treated them with lime and lime water. Liaoyang City carried out all disinfection, and began to order soldiers to relocate the people in Liaodong area to Yanshan Road in the name of avoiding the plague.

The leader waved his hand, and the soldiers took off the kerosene bags on their backs, sprayed hundreds of bags through the windows, and the entire military castle was once again engulfed in flames.

Although the plague is a disaster, it is also an opportunity. The fear of the plague has made people of all ethnic groups in Liaodong willing to leave their homes and go to the south to avoid disasters. As for whether they can come back in the future, that is another matter. Yuguan and Liaoxi Corridor One letter, they will not be able to go back.

Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yingluo walked into the hall, and Lu Xiu handed them the urgent memorial, "The internal government hall just sent it, and a plague broke out in Liaodong. The prince asked the court to act urgently to support Liaodong supplies. Apart from the ministers' plan, do you think there is any other plan?" What to add?"

At this time, in the distance 'Boom! With an earth-shattering bang, Chen Qing looked back and saw another military fort a mile away collapsed. It turned out that soldiers of the Western Army, under the protection of heavy shields, threw a large iron fire mine weighing two hundred catties to the ground. Throwing into the military fort, the military fort exploded and collapsed.

This is actually a long-established plan to move the people of the Kingdom of Jin to scattered places in the Central Plains. After more than ten years, they will gradually become Sinicized. The strategy adopted was to establish the Andong Protectorate, migrate Goguryeo people to the Central Plains on a large scale, and then move the people from the Central Plains to Liaodong. However, the Sui and Tang Dynasties mainly targeted the Goguryeo people, while ignoring the Mohe people, Khitan people and Xi people. When the Tang Dynasty declined Afterwards, the Khitan grew stronger and took control of Liaodong.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Western Army rushed forward and sprayed the kerosene in the kerosene bag into the windows, which was more accurate than throwing the kerosene pots from the trebuchet, and the interior of the military castle was also ablaze.

"Boom!" There was a violent explosion, and the large military fort collapsed inward.This is the weakness of the military fort. It looks solid on the outside, but it is very fragile on the inside. As long as it explodes inside, it will easily collapse from the inside.

"emission!"

Zhao Qiaoyun looked at the memorial and said: "The plan is very comprehensive, but I found that there is an emergency plan missing, that is, it will take a month or two to transport the medicines and masks to Liaodong by water. The best way is to send a batch of medicinal materials and masks to Yanshan Road."

"His Royal Highness, the trebuchet is ready!"

The fire oil tank in the south also projected over and hit the wall, turning the wall into a raging fire.

This time, the Yong Kingdom learned the lessons of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and migrated all the people of all ethnic groups living in Liaodong without leaving any hidden dangers. They also immigrated from the Central Plains and Hebei to Liaodong in large numbers, and gave land and tax incentives to allow the immigrants to live and work in peace and contentment. Decades later, the border troubles in Liaodong will be completely eliminated.

Chen Qing immediately ordered: "Blow it up with a large iron fire mine!"

By the noon of the next day, all 53 military forts in the city were finally destroyed. This time, Chen Qing ignored the miners and ordered the Jin soldiers to be wiped out. survived.

A commander shouted, and the trebuchet in the north was the first to start, 'Boom! With a loud noise, a flaming fuel tank rose into the air, roaring and smashing towards the military fort, 'Bang! 'The fire oil tank hit the military fort accurately, the clay pot shattered, and the northern part of the military fort suddenly burst into flames.

Only [-] troops were left to continue to confront the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

After three rounds of projection, flames and thick smoke filled the air, and black smoke billowed, engulfing the entire military fort.

"Sister, what happened?"

Several soldiers ran over with a large [-]-jin iron fire mine. They threw the iron fire mine into the fort with all their strength, and then ran away and got down on the ground.

The concubine Lu Xiu was taken aback, and hurriedly called Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yingluo, and the reviewing of the memorial was almost always discussed by the three of them.

At this time, two heavy-duty trebuchets were slowly approaching, one from the south and the other from the north. More than a dozen craftsmen nervously positioned them. A huge baffle was also placed in front of them, and the bed crossbow in the defensive fortress was fired.

After discovering this, the Western Army used iron fire mines to destroy several large military forts in succession, and the remaining small military fortresses directly burned the people inside to death with fuel-spraying fire bags.

The largest military fort in front of him was completely engulfed in flames and thick smoke, and the kerosene attack had stopped. The soldiers of the Western Army lowered the drawbridge, and hundreds of soldiers with large shields and crossbows ran across the river and approached the military fort.

The city was filled with the smell of burnt corpses, and every house was closed, and none of the 10,000+ people dared to go out.

Chen Qing nodded, "It's ready to launch!"

At the same time, Chen Qing also sent someone to inform Niu Gao, ordering him to send all the people of Dading Mansion to Yanshan Road, and Linhuang Mansion must be strictly guarded, and no one from the Kingdom of Jin is allowed to enter the city.

Yang Zaixing is in charge of leading a [-] army to evacuate millions of people in Liaodong, and the [-] army will also withdraw to Pingzhou simultaneously.

Jingzhao, Yongwang Palace, an urgent memorial was sent to Princess Luxiu, and the seal on it was urgent and high-level, which is more important and urgent than Grade A memorials, usually because of wars and major disasters , or major political events, such as the death of the emperor.

Zhao Yingluo also said: "The officials once said that the letter can be sent to Yanshan Road in seven days if it is delivered urgently in gold letters. Then we can also use the relay method, can it be delivered by horse relay?"

Lu Xiu shook her head, "The carrying capacity of the war horses is not enough, we still need to use boats, vehicles and boats. The speed of vehicles and boats is fast, and they sail around the clock. I estimate that it can be transported to Yanshan Road in about ten days."

Zhao Qiaoyun nodded, "Sister, this is a good idea. Using vehicles and boats is a good way. The three groups of soldiers will step on it in turn, day and night. It will indeed be very fast to go from the Yellow River to the Yongji Canal."

Lu Xiu immediately approved the defense memorial of the Internal Affairs Hall, and at the same time added her own emergency transportation plan, suggesting the fastest transportation by vehicle and boat, and requiring transportation to Yanshan Road within ten days.
