Iron gun Yang Tiexin

As soon as the idea of ​​raiding Zhongdu flashed into Yang Tiexin's mind, it immediately took root.

In theory, it is very possible to attack Zhongdu from Shandong.

Because, from Shandong to Zhongdu, there are two paths to choose from just by water.

One is to go north along the Yongji Canal dug in the time of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and reach the central capital.

The other is to go northward along the coast, go upstream at the mouth of the Luhe River (in the area of ​​​​Tianjin), and enter Zhongdu.

Yongji Canal is an artificial canal, the river surface is not wide, and because Yongji Canal undertakes the heavy task of transporting grain from Hebei and Shandong to Zhongdu, many places along the way are heavily guarded by the Jin Army.

In this way, the more reliable solution is naturally to march again by sea and land.

The Jin army is not good at water warfare, even the navy of the Song Dynasty can't fight, and the experience of sea combat is almost zero.

Therefore, marching from land and sea is the least risky for the Yingzhou Army.

But the problem is not without, on the contrary, there are many.

The first is the problem of siege.

As Zhongdu is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the number of Jin soldiers cannot be small, and it is conservatively estimated that there are [-] to [-] soldiers.

If Jin Ting received the news in advance and started mobilizing troops, it shouldn't be a problem to gather an army of 50 million within a few days.

However, the Yingzhou army could not bring too many troops to attack for thousands of miles, and fifty thousand troops was already the limit.

One must know that the mouth of the Lu River is not like the one outside the Hangzhou Bay, where there are islands in the Zhenhai Islands that can be turned around and rested. It is quite troublesome just for food, grass and luggage.

Besides, the capital city of China is high and deep, so how to attack it is quite a headache.

Because, the Yingzhou army cannot afford to be defeated!

The Jin army is powerful, and there is a powerful Jin country behind it to support it. It is not a problem to ask for one or two, three or five formations.As long as the country is not destroyed all of a sudden, even if the muscles and bones are hurt, you can slowly recover.

But the Yingzhou army is different, its foundation is too weak, once it loses, it may be within ten years.They were all powerless for the Northern Expedition.

However, the possible gains from this trip are so insignificant compared to the possible risks!

If they can reach Zhongdu, even if they can't defeat Jin Ting in one battle, as long as they don't fight too badly, they will definitely be able to scare those Jin people out of their wits!

In this way, there are more than eight layers of confidence to solve Shandong's dilemma.

If you plan properly and are lucky enough.It is not impossible to destroy Jin Guo in one fell swoop.

At that time, even if Yingzhou could not completely occupy the land of the Kingdom of Jin, it would be no problem to occupy the two major granaries in Shandong and Hebei.

If it can develop for another ten years based on this, I am afraid that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty will not be the opponent of Yingzhou!

After deliberating over and over again, Yang Tiexin finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind with a cruel heart.Soldiers are sent to Zhongdu.

This style of attacking thousands of miles is all about surprise.The key is to be flexible in tactics.

Adhering to this principle, Yang Tiexin went through several generals under his command one by one, but he couldn't find a suitable one.

In desperation, Yang Tiexin had no choice but to decide to conquest in person again.

But before that, Yang Tiexin still needs to arrange things in Shandong.

The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty should have been frightened by Yang Tiexin, probably within a short time.It is impossible to invade Shandong on a large scale, so it is only necessary to send a team to guard the Huai River and monitor the Southern Song Dynasty along the river.

Although the front line of Dongping Mansion is also adjacent to the Kingdom of Jin, it is either separated by a canal, or by the Yellow River, or by Mount Tai.It is not so difficult for the cavalry of the Jin army to pass by.Therefore, it is only necessary to send troops to guard this line to prevent the Jin army from smuggling.

On the front line of Jinan Prefecture, although there is the Beiqing River separating Shandong from the Kingdom of Jin, with the strength of the army of the Kingdom of Jin, there is no way to cross the river!

Once the golden cavalry entered the hinterland of Shandong, even if they couldn't completely wipe out all the people in Shandong, it should still be easy to stir up the Shandong government.

This trip to the north is unpredictable, Yang Tiexin must try to ensure that even when the Yellow River is frozen, the golden soldiers will not be able to cross the river.

However, the distance between the upper and lower reaches of the Beiqing River is nearly a thousand miles, and there are more than one places where the river can be crossed.

Once the Yellow River is frozen, it will be very difficult to block the Beiqing River.

Regarding this, Yang Tiexin specially went to Jinan to meet with Qu San'er who was stationed in Shandong, and gave Qu San'er face-to-face advice.

I don't know what Yang Tiexin said to Qu San'er, anyway, after the two met, Qu San'er personally raised an army to cross the river to the north, and went straight to Pingyuan County, Hebei to kill.

Yang Tiexin didn't care much about Qu San'er's troubles in Hebei.After bidding farewell to Qu San, Yang Tiexin led the people straight to the seaside of Yidu.

At this time, Zhang You, one of the four little heavenly kings of the Heavenly King Gang, has led an army of [-] and hundreds of warships waiting here for a long time.

Without unnecessary nonsense, as soon as Yang Tiexin and Pu boarded the ship, he ordered the three armies to lift the anchor and set off, and then called Zhang You and other young generals to his command tent, and held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

It's a pity that although the combat effectiveness of this group of students is not too bad, they really don't have any expertise in intrigue and trickery. After several days of meetings, they didn't see any constructive proposals.

At the end of the fourth day, Yang Tiexin finally stopped calling the generals for a meeting, but directly sent troops to land at Luhekou.

At this moment, Luhekou has not yet developed, it is just a remote small fishing port with a population of less than [-].

What's more, the country of Jin has never encountered an attack at sea, and its defenses are relatively lax.

As a result, during this expedition, Yang Tiexin's [-] navy troops captured Luhekou easily as soon as they landed.

After spending one night and half a day resting at the mouth of the Luohe River, on the afternoon of the second day, Yang Tiexin left 1 troops to garrison the Luhe River, and then led the team to set off again, heading straight for Zhongdu.

At midnight, Yang Tiexin's [-] troops finally arrived outside the city of Zhongdu.

Since the founding of the country, Jin Ting has not experienced much peace, but one thing, Jin Ting is quite lucky, that is, he has never been beaten outside the city of Zhongdu by any villain.

It is precisely because of this that although Jin Ting has arranged a lot of troops to garrison, the vigilance of these Jin troops is not very high, which gave the Yingzhou army an opportunity to take advantage of.

They boarded the ship and went ashore in secret, until the Yingzhou army reached the gate of Zhongdu, built the artillery position, and then lit the torches, the golden soldiers on the city came back to their senses, it was an enemy who had attacked the gate of their own house!

Shocked, the golden soldiers came back to their senses after a while, and then they opened their mouths in a mess to warn them.

"Fire! Aim at the city gate and blast me hard!"

At this moment, Yang Tiexin gave an order.

As soon as Yang Tiexin's order was handed down, thousands of cannons exploded in unison, and a thousand shells smashed into the city of Zhongdu like meteors. (to be continued..)
