Chapter 492 0489 [Kill until the Khitans surrender]

Xijing Road, Fengshengzhou, Huade County.

This place is close to the Jiedu Envoy Division of Taipingling Ridge, two hundred miles down the road, and across the Qin Great Wall is Guihua Prefecture (Zhangjiakou).

"Kill all the golden dogs!"

The loud shouts of killing echoed in the sky above Huade County.

It is called a county, but compared to the size of Zhongyuan County, it can only be regarded as a small town.

After all, it is a grassland, and the cost of transporting bricks and stones is too high, so the city walls are made of rammed raw loess.

Although the Jin army defending the city was not afraid of death, their number was too small. Under the fierce attack of more than 20,000 Liao troops, they were quickly submerged like a small boat in the sea.

As tribes from the grasslands continued to join him, the number of soldiers under Yelu Dashi's command had reached more than 28,000.

These herdsmen were dissatisfied with the oppression of the Jin people. They brought their own war horses, swords and arrows, armor and dry food, and came to Yelu Dashi just to overthrow the rule of the Jin people.

An hour later, the battle ended.

The horses on Yelu's big stone frame slowly passed through the city cave and stepped into the county seat.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw his general Xiao Wen escorting a Jurchen Muke approaching.

"King of Liao, capture alive a Jurchen Muke."

The Jurchen Muke had her hands tied behind her back, but she was still fierce, with a ferocious look on her face, and she kept trying to struggle.

Xiao Wen didn't tolerate him, he laughed ferociously and punched the Jurchen in the stomach.

The severe pain caused a turbulence in the stomach. Jurchen Mou was so painful that she arched her whole body into a prawn, opened her mouth, and spat out a mouthful of sour water.

Yelu Dashi asked condescendingly: "Can you understand what I say?"

Jurchen Muke tried his best to straighten up, stared at Yelv Dashi with a pair of red eyes, and said in blunt Khitan dialect: "You Khitan dogs are so capricious, I should have killed all of you from the beginning."

"It's good if you can understand."

Yelu Dashi was not annoyed. He threw a black cloth bag at the opponent's feet and said loudly: "I will spare your life. Go back and tell Wanyan Zonghan that I, Yelu Dashi, am back!"

Yelu Dashi?

Jurchen Muke had obviously heard of his name, and looked surprised and uncertain.

Yelu Dashi said no more and waved his hand: "Give him a horse and let him go."

"Get out!"

Xiao Wen raised his foot and kicked Jurchen Muke on the buttocks, pushed him out of the city, then gave him a horse and let him leave.

After mounting the horse, the Jurchen Mouke galloped for dozens of miles.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he was sure that the other party really planned to let him go.

Gradually slowing down his horse's speed, he curiously opened the black cloth bag.

When he saw clearly what was inside, his expression suddenly changed.

In the bag is a human head.

Wan Yan Zha Bao Di!
The head had obviously been processed and had not rotted. A pair of gray eyes stared at the Jurchen Muke with an angry look.

He naturally recognized Wanyan Zhabaodi and knew that he had a heavy responsibility. After all, Wanyan Zhabaodi passed through Huade County some time ago and rested for a while.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jurchen Muke waved his whip again and galloped towards Datong Mansion.

……

Datong, Marshal's Mansion.

Wanyan Loushi led the army back to Datong, and at the same time brought back news of Yelu Yujian's rebellion, even Wanyan Zonghan could not help but fall into rage.

boom!
Kicking over the desk, he roared: "I want Yelu Yujian's head!"

The 60,000-strong army, after being stabbed in the back by Yelu Yujian, had less than 30,000 capable men, and tens of thousands of stones, grain, grass and baggage were burned to the ground.

These are still secondary. The most important thing is that the originally planned tactics were ruined with Yelu Yujian's defection.

Now, they can only retreat to Datong Mansion and completely fall into passivity.

Moreover, Yelu Yu saw that the rebels and Jin surrendered to Qi, which had an extremely bad impact. The people in Datong Mansion were unstable and the morale of the army was low.

You know, most of the hundreds of thousands of Western Route Army troops are Khitans.

Taking a deep breath, Wanyan Zonghan ordered: "Kill all of Yelu Yudu's family members, leaving no one alive!"

"Marshal, no!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly warned him.

Xiao Qing also echoed: "Yes, Marshal. Now the entire Khitan people in Datong Mansion are watching the Marshal's every move with wide eyes. The more this time, the more they must show their benevolence and magnanimity."

Wanyan Zonghan was so angry that he laughed back: "Yelu Yu stabbed me in the back and put me in danger, yet I still want to treat his family well? What kind of bullshit is this!"

Wanyan Xiyin advised: "Marshal, even if you want to kill, you can't kill him now. Many Khitan people in the city are already hesitant. If the marshal kills him, it will indeed have a deterrent effect in a short time, but it will also make those people The Khitans were determined to rebel..."

"enough!"

Wanyan Zonghan shouted angrily, interrupting Wanyan Xiyin's words.

Looking around at the crowd, he said word by word: "We, the Jurchens, rose up from the Black Mountains and Baishui, and destroyed the Liao Dynasty and attacked the Song Dynasty all the way. We relied on the steel swords in our hands, not conspiracies. If the Khitans don't accept it, then kill them. Kill them." Until they completely surrender!”

Wanyan Zonghan knew in his heart that what Xiao Qing and others said was right, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

If he didn't kill Yelu Yujian's family members to vent his anger, he would not even be able to eat.

Ugh!
Seeing this, Wanyan Xiyin and others sighed silently.

Gao Qingyi didn't care, he was from Bohai, but Xiao Qing on the side had a complicated expression.

Xiao Qing is a descendant of the Khitan clan. Although he is a side branch, he is still a noble of the Liao Kingdom. Hearing Wanyan Zonghan's murderous speech at this moment, he can't help but feel a little sad.

Originally, I completely surrendered to Wanyan Zonghan, partly because of the kindness of knowing him, and partly because of the great talent and strategy shown by the other party, which was the aura of a wise master.

But now it seems that barbarians are barbarians after all. No matter how smart they are, they can never change their barbaric nature.

Wanyan Zonghan ordered: "Mansahe, you immediately lead your troops to Yelu Yujian's house, including your family members and servants, leaving no one behind!"

"Yes!" the guard responded loudly, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, a personal guard hurriedly stepped into the study: "Marshal, there are changes in Feng Sheng State, and I am asking for help!"

Wanyan Zonghan's expression changed and he ordered: "Bring him to see me."

Not long after, Wuli Mo walked in with a black bag in his hand and a tired look on his face.

After leaving Huade County, he ran non-stop back to Datong.

Seeing him, Wanyan Zonghan immediately asked: "What happened in Fengsheng Prefecture?"

"Marshal, Yelu Dashi is back. He led his troops to raid Huade and killed Zabaodi Meng'an."

Wulimai said, holding up the black cloth bag in his hand.

After the words fell, Wanyan Loushi and others all changed their expressions.

Yelu Dashi is back!
Moreover, Wanyan Zhabaodi, who went to recruit the Yi army, was killed, which meant that the Yi army from the Menggu tribe would not come.

Now, they are in a crisis situation where they are attacked from both sides.

Wanyan Zonghan took the bag and opened it, Wanyan Zhabaodi's dead head appeared in his field of vision.

Slowly close your eyes and take a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, he had calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Yelu Dashi?"

Anyone who knows him well knows that this is a sign before the storm is coming, indicating that the anger in his heart has reached its extreme.

"About thirty to forty thousand people."

Wulimai answered truthfully.

Wanyan Zonghan said loudly: "Gao Qing is from Xiao Qing."

"My subordinate is here!"

"The general is here!"

"You two each take 10,000 troops and station them at Xuande and Xinghe to prevent the Yelv Stone from going south."

"The last general (subordinate) takes the order!"

The two of them responded in unison.

Wanyan Zonghan continued to order: "Inform Yin Shuke to abandon Huairen and rush back to Datong Mansion as soon as possible. The living daughter will lead eight thousand cavalry to support, so as not to be ambushed by the Qi army on the way back."

"Order!"

Wan Yan Huo Nu nodded.

Wanyan Zonghan said in a firm tone: "Yelü Dashi is just a scabies disease. It can't make a difference. The Qi Army is the top priority. We can no longer be led by the nose by the Qi Army. We need to be beaten with real swords and spears." field."

"That's what I mean too."

Wanyan Loushi agreed: "When Yin Shu can return, gather the troops, set up a battle array, and decide the outcome with the Qi army. One battle will determine the outcome. As long as the Qi army is defeated, Yelu Dashi will flee."

……

Huairen County.

After receiving the military order, Wanyan Yinshuke began to prepare to evacuate.

After the scout got the news, he immediately rushed back to the military camp a few miles away to report: "General He, Yin Shu can abandon the city and escape."

He Guan had been on the battlefield for a long time and was mature and prudent. He was not eager for quick success, but ordered: "Explore again and report again."

After the scouts left, the brigade commander proposed: "General He, why don't you take advantage of the enemy's withdrawal to launch a surprise attack?"

He Guan said in a deep voice: "Wanyan Yin Shu is a famous general, how could he be unprepared?"

Not long after, the scouts came back and reported: "The city is deserted, there is not a grain of rice left in the granaries and houses, dead bodies have been thrown into the alleys and wells everywhere, polluting the water in the wells."

It is equivalent to leaving a dead city to the Qi army.

"Ah."

He Guan sneered, with an expression that was indeed true.

This is the usual routine of the Jin Army, and it is very practical.

Not only can it cause trouble for the Qi army, but it can also be used in conjunction with tactics. After the enemy forces occupy the city, they can suddenly kill a carbine and surround them.

By then, there will be no food in the city, and the well water is contaminated by dead bodies. If it is no longer used, the city will collapse on its own.

After arranging a thousand soldiers to take over Huairen County, He Guan ordered: "Send the order, prepare the whole army, break camp and set off tomorrow to join your Majesty."

……

Five days later, He Guan successfully reunited with Han Zhen.

During these five days, no major war broke out between Qi and Jin. The Jin army only dispatched a small number of cavalry to attack the Qi army's grain and grass and baggage troops. However, because the Qi army was well prepared and the soldiers guarding the grain and grass and baggage were equipped with firearms, the Jin army The army cavalry returned without success.

After several consecutive attacks, the Jin army simply gave up attacking the grain road.

For a time, a rare peace ushered in.

But everyone knows that this is the eve of the storm.

Both sides are preparing intensively for the next battle.

Siege guns, field guns, firearms, and gunpowder were transported from the rear to the front line one after another. These siege guns and field guns would be directly left in the Northland for city defense.

On the other side, Yelv Dashi attacked the city all the way, as if entering an uninhabited land.

In just ten days, they captured the grasslands north of the Fengsheng Great Wall and east of Fengzhou.

The most important thing is that the soldiers under his command are fighting more and more. If one is killed in battle, two or even three Khitans and herdsmen from various grassland tribes will come to seek refuge.

At this time, the number of soldiers under Yelu Dashi's command increased from 8,000 when they first crossed the desert to 40,000 now.

Yelu Dashi was in pain and happy.

Without him, as the number of soldiers under his command increases, a problem arises one after another.

There’s not enough food and grass!
