I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 557: The Mature Woman's Descendant! The Attack from the Raw Woman
Five miles west of Vladivostok.

Cao Hu, with more than 6,000 light cavalry, was chasing after Hu Lieshu's 10,000 cavalry.

Originally, Cao Hu thought this would be a tough battle.

Who would have thought that the other party turned around and ran away without firing a single arrow.

Among them, there were thousands of skilled female soldiers who could run faster than their emperor Hu Lishu.

The moment the Song army's drums sounded, they retreated quickly.

This scene made Cao Hu laugh out loud.

When it comes to long-distance pursuit, the Song Army is the best at it, let alone chasing this group of cavalry who have no intention of fighting.

The Song army ran as fast as they could, getting closer and closer to the enemy.

And this moment.

Hu Lishu rode his horse at full speed, cursing Bagen.

"This old fox is shameless, really shameless. When I return, I will definitely tear his head off!"

Running ahead of Huleshu were the five thousand soldiers of Bagen's tribe.

After Hu Lishu's negotiations with Suliang failed, he wanted to let Bagen's 5,000 soldiers rush to the front and fight for a while before retreating.

If you don't even dare to fight, you will lose face when you return.

Never thought about it.

When Bagen's soldiers saw the Song army leaving the city, they turned their horses around and ran away.

He simply didn't listen to his orders.

What he didn't know was that Bagen had already given orders to his soldiers: if they encounter a battle, retreat immediately.

Both Huluishu and Bagen knew it.

The clan soldiers are their only support. Without them, they will lose their voice. Therefore, neither of them is willing to sacrifice their clan soldiers.

Then, thousands of people fled together.

After Su Liang learned about this situation, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A makeshift team formed by a group of selfish people with their own agenda is too easy to be broken.

This way, the battle will be easier to fight.

……

After half an hour of pursuit, the Song army had reached the range.

Cao Hu raised his long sword and shouted, "Firearmers, archers, listen to my order, shoot immediately!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Bows, crossbows, and firearms rained down on the soldiers of the Shurenzhen.

Soon, bursts of screams were heard from the other side.

All of these soldiers were shot or hit in the back.

Let a general with a little knowledge of tactics take command.

At this time, the soldiers would definitely be ordered to stop fleeing, immediately find a cover to hide, or dismount and fight back with the bows and crossbows in their hands.

Only in this way can casualties be minimized.

But Hu Lieshu had already been frightened out of his wits, and all he wanted was to catch up with Bagen's 5,000 soldiers who were running ahead.

In his eyes, as long as he could get ahead of Bagen's 5,000 soldiers, he would be able to survive.

One general is incompetent and kills three armies.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The fleeing Jurchen soldiers were like densely packed targets, being continuously hit by the Song army's bows, crossbows and firearms, and gradually caught up with them.

This was not a battle, but more like a massacre.

After a while, the two sides got closer and closer.

The Song soldiers at the front shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed..."

I have to say that the effect of this statement is very obvious.

Soon, a large number of soldiers quickly abandoned their horses, then lay on the ground, with their buttocks sticking up, holding the back of their heads, and daring not to move.

This is the unified action of soldiers surrendering.

More and more people surrendered, many of whom were mature women and civilians who were serving in the army for the first time.

at this time.

A Song army general who was rushing in the front, holding a huge crossbow, aimed at the butt of the horse that Hu Lieshu was riding and shot it.

Whoosh!
The long arrow hit the horse's buttocks.

boom!
The warhorse fell to the ground, and Hu Lishu also fell heavily to the ground.

at the same time.

Long arrows flew past Hu Lieshu, and anyone who wanted to save Hu Lieshu was shot and fell to the ground.

Soon, several Song soldiers captured Hu Lieshu alive.

"Hu Lieshu has been captured, why don't you surrender quickly!"

"Hu Lieshu has been captured, why don't you surrender quickly!"

……

When the fleeing Jurchen soldiers heard this and heard the sounds of arrows and firearms, they dismounted and surrendered.

An hour later, the battle ended.

Of the 10,000 enemy troops, nearly 4,000 were killed or wounded, 5,000 surrendered, and hundreds escaped.

Cao Hu deliberately let these hundreds of people go.

The purpose was to let them inform the various tribes of the Su Nuzhen in Shubin Prefecture: those who surrender will not be killed, and the ten tribes that surrender first can enjoy the treatment of "no need to hand over private property".

This is the condition that Su Liang can agree to in order to surrender.

into the night.

The Song army escorted the prisoners back to Vladivostok.

After capturing Lubin Mansion, these people will be very useful logistical forces, because they have families, are not good at fighting, and are relatively familiar with the place.

It is entirely possible to take their families as hostages and make them the labor force of the Song army.

Next.

Su Liang prepared to stay in Vladivostok and see how many Jurchen tribes would surrender.

The next morning.

Su Liang, Cao Hu, Xu Mang and Liu Sanda appeared on the city wall.

Cao Hu smiled and said, "Boss, I thought the Jurchens were very brave, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable. It seems that the rumors among the people are false. It's nonsense that if there are less than 10,000 Jurchens, they are invincible. If there are more than 10,000, they are invincible!"

Su Liang shook his head slightly.

"The cooked Jurchens had been domesticated by the Khitans and lived along the coast. There were far more fishermen than hunters, and they had no worries about food and clothing. They really had no fighting power, but the raw Jurchens were different."

"The Raw Jurchens are beasts, and they fight without regard for their lives. Once we have subdued these Cooked Jurchens, we will cross the Changbai Mountains to fight the Raw Jurchens. The Cooked Jurchens can surrender, but the Raw Jurchens must be destroyed!"

Su Liang knew the nature of the Jurchens very well, and it was impossible to persuade them to surrender and tame them, so he could only kill them and then start educating the new generation.

Everyone nodded.

They had all heard about the various incidents in which the Jurchens attacked the Liao people, such as tearing off their ears, boiling their flesh, and killing all the women and children.

That group of people was just like a group of wild beasts. They would do anything for money and food.

There is not a trace of humanity.

……

Near noon, a cloud of dust rose outside the city gate.

Xu Mang was immediately overjoyed and said, "Boss, the mature women from all tribes are here!"

Su Liang stood up and looked around.

From a distance, a group of people and horses were galloping towards them. They had no armor on their bodies and no weapons in their hands. Someone in the middle was holding a white flag, obviously coming to surrender.

Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!
Not long after.

These people came to the city gate, there were nearly a hundred of them.

Su Liang noticed that one of them was tied up and hung on a horse.

At this time.

A tall and thin middle-aged man rode forward a few steps, then dismounted and said, "Your Excellency Su Zhongcheng, we, the thirty-two tribes of the True Women, are willing to surrender and become citizens of the Song Dynasty. As long as Su Zhongcheng doesn't kill us, we are willing to hand over all our private property!"

The others also dismounted and lowered their heads.

When Su Liang heard this, he thought to himself, "This is a smart man!"

At this moment, instead of negotiating conditions with the Song Dynasty, it is better to show loyalty without asking for any conditions. In this way, there is a chance to get gifts from the Song Dynasty. Su Liang looked down and said loudly: "If you are sincere, the Song Dynasty will not treat its people unfairly!"

The middle-aged man bowed again, then waved behind him, and the man who was tied up was thrown out.

"Central Prime Minister Su, it was this man's idea to establish the Great Jurchen State among the Jurchen tribes. He also wanted to become emperor. Last night, he was trying to trick us into killing each other. He came here to surrender first in exchange for the position of the new leader of the Jurchens. After we discovered him, we captured him!"

Su Liang looked down and said, "He must be Bagen!"

The tribe leaders below were all stunned. They didn't expect Su Liang to recognize him. Bagen, whose mouth was stuffed, was also stunned.

Su Liang smiled and said, "I already know what kind of people the chiefs of the various tribes of the Jurchens are. You are right to arrest them. Among all the chiefs of the tribes, only he and Hu Lieshu should be arrested!"

Hearing this, the clan leaders below all breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't expect that Su Liang knew them so well.

Fortunately, it dropped.

Otherwise, if they fight again, the other side will know everything about them and they will have no chance of winning.

"Open the city gate!" Su Liang shouted loudly.

Then, Su Liang looked at Cao Hu and said, "If these people behave well, in a month, except for military food and horses, all other private property will be returned to them. Right now, we still need their help!"

"Yes." Cao Hu nodded.

The reason why Su Liang said this to Cao Hu.

Among all the people following him, only Cao Hu has the talent of a commander and the ability to govern a city.

Next, Su Liang intended to hand over the territory that the Shunuzhen had seized from Shubin Mansion to Cao Hu for management.

then.

He led Xu Mang, Liu Sandao and others across Changbai Mountain to wipe out the Shengnujur.

……

Noon the next day.

Su Liang and others appeared in the Shubin Mansion.

After the Song army entered the city, there was no looting, and the people's property remained with the people. However, the food, weapons, horses, etc. looted and collected by the Su Nuzhen were under the unified management of the Song army.

Su Liang also invited the chiefs of the various Jurchen tribes to a meal and said that as long as they were loyal enough and obeyed the laws of the Song Dynasty, they would be able to enjoy all the treatment that the people of the Song Dynasty could enjoy, without any distinction of high or low status.

This touched the chiefs of the various tribes of the Jurchens deeply.

I even regretted surrendering too late.

After surrendering, not only did their lives not change much, but they also felt more at peace.

……

Early the next morning.

Su Liang left Shubin Prefecture with more than 10,000 cavalrymen, while Cao Hu stayed behind and was responsible for their logistics.

Soon, more troops from the Song Dynasty will arrive here.

at the same time.

Su Liang also received the news that the Song army captured Zhongjing Dading Prefecture and Yelu Hongji retreated to Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture.

Su Liang's plan was to first go to Huanglongfu to destroy the Shengnuzhen, and then attack Yelu Hongji from both sides, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Otherwise, if Yelu Hongji took his men to hide in the deep mountains and forests, it would be very difficult to catch them.

Also, winter is coming.

If we cannot destroy the elite troops of the Liao army before the heavy snow, we will probably have to fight until next spring.

The Khitans were better adapted to the northern winter than the Song people. Letting them lie dormant for a winter would result in more casualties for the Song army.

……

This day.

Huanglong Mansion, inside a luxurious hall.

The leader of the Shengjurchens, Li Ji, was wearing a red dragon robe in the style of the Song Dynasty and sitting upright on a large chair.

The dragon robe is a bit big.

Plus, its feet are on the chair, which makes it look a bit like a monkey wearing human clothes, which is quite funny.

And this moment.

There were eight people standing in front of him, four young men and four teenagers.

The young man was probably in his twenties, while the boy was only eleven or twelve. They were all very thin, but each of them had a very cold look in his eyes, and it was obvious that they had all killed someone.

Ridge looked at them.

"The useless group of Jurchens have been wiped out by the Song army. The Song army is crossing Changbai Mountain and heading towards us. You have only one mission, and that is to kill the leader of the Song army, Su Liang!"

After that, Rigid took out Su Liang's portrait.

"This man is Su Liang. If we kill him, we will be halfway to victory. The Song people will be afraid of us!"

"Whoever kills him, I will give him a hundred horses, three hundred sheep, a big house, and ten women!"

"Remember, we want to kill him, not capture him! This man is very cunning. If we give him time to talk, he may escape even if we capture him."

"As long as you can get close to him, kill him immediately without hesitation. If you die, the reward will be given to your parents or children. Fight for the Kingdom of Rigi. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" the eight people said in unison.

"Go!" Reggie waved his hand.

Suddenly, the eight people left quickly. In the eyes of the Jurchen warriors, there was no word surrender. As long as they were not dead, they would fight to the death.

The four children, aged eleven or twelve, looked frail.

In fact, they were all trained in life-and-death battles. At the age of seven or eight, they dared to kick people's heads for fun and fight black bears and tigers.

Moreover, their appearance and age are extremely deceptive, making them the best candidates for assassination.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was October.

The weather is getting colder.

Su Liang and his army will be able to cross Changbai Mountain in a few days.

Currently, there are more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers gathered in Huanglongfu. They have looted the weapons and armor inside, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

But facing the elite soldiers and generals led by Su Liang, plus the support of firearms, they would certainly not be able to be his match.

The reason why Su Liang chose to go in person.

He knew how great the ambitions of the Jurchens were. Only by completely extinguishing this flame and educating them would there be no unrest in the northern border in the future.

at the same time.

Su Liang also had a certain understanding of the scattered people here, and promptly fed back the relevant information to Wang Anshi in the rear.

Only after Wang Anshi knew all this in advance could he make preparations for taking over this area of ​​black mountains and white waters later.

……

Another day, near noon.

Su Liang and others were moving forward when they suddenly felt the weather suddenly turned cold.

Soon, snowflakes began to fall.

The snow is not heavy.

But the temperature dropped a lot.

Su Liang immediately gave orders to set up camp on the spot, cook, and wait until the snow stopped tomorrow before moving on.

If we march quickly in such weather, the roads will be slippery and the soldiers will easily get frostbite.

Fortunately, Su Liang is still in good health.

If old guys like Pang Ji, Liang Shi and others were like Su Liang, they would have probably lost half their lives.

Half an hour later.

The mountains and forests were all white. Su Liang sat in front of the campfire in front of the tent, leisurely gnawing on a rabbit leg and drinking hot water boiled with snow water.

Although this place is sparsely populated, there is plenty of prey.

With a bow and arrows, you will have endless wild deer and rabbits to eat.

Sometimes tigers and bears can be hunted.

At this moment, two Jurchen soldiers disguised as hunters discovered the Song army.

The Shengnu Jurchens were best at tracking their prey, and then striking suddenly at the right opportunity to kill it.

At this moment, Su Liang was the prey in their eyes.
