Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 675: Final Chapter: Yan Song No Longer Shamed (2)

Zhao Mu, Murong Fu and others carefully studied the battle plan and the distribution of benefits after the war.

The one who benefited the most this time was Murong Fu. After destroying the Jurchen tribe, most of the cities in the Jurchen territory belonged to Murong Fu. The Liao Kingdom took back Zhongjing, which was occupied by the Jurchens, and some of its territory.

As for the Song Dynasty, it only needed to open up a land route from the Song Dynasty to Goryeo through some places adjacent to the former Liaodong area.

Of course, this part of the land will be temporarily ruled by Murong Fu. After a year or so, Murong Fu will present these lands to the Song Dynasty as tribute.

The reason for the expedition was Yan and Liao, and the war against Jin had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty pretended not to know, was not clear, and did not interfere.

But the main force of this battle was the Qi army under Zhao Mu, while the Liao Kingdom and Murong Fu were only assisting and escorting logistical supplies for him.

But this time, Zhao Mu also made it clear that in order to avoid being "exposed", they had to be exactly like the Liao army and might be a little more brutal. I hope they can understand.

Murong Fu and Yelu Neguru naturally expressed their understanding.

After everyone had discussed it, they waited for Zhao Mu's army to be fully deployed.

Thanks to Yelu Yanxiu's help, the marching plans for each pass were quickly finalized.

Zhao Mu's army still relied on cavalry as the main force, marching from north to south to prevent the Jurchens from fleeing back into the mountains and forests. Then they surrounded them from three directions and ended the battle in Zhongjing.

Moreover, Zhao Mu also specifically reminded the troops that if they encountered the elite Iron Buddha cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, they should not confront them head-on, and should adopt the "kite-flying" tactic to deal with them.

On this day, the Jurchens provoked the Liao army on the border as usual. In order to get the Liao army in the city to fight, they even raped the Khitan women they had captured in front of the Liao army in the city.

The Liao army guarding the city could only watch this shameless scene with their eyes and feel angry in their hearts. However, Chongyuan had issued a death order before, no matter how provocative the Jurchens were, the Liao army was not allowed to fight again.

Faced with the Liao army's reluctance to fight, the Jin soldiers below laughed wildly and then bullied them even harder.

Just when they were still secretly feeling proud of themselves, they didn't know that the gate of the Liao border town was suddenly opened.

Seeing this scene, the Jin soldiers who were still bullying the women were also stunned. The next moment, the "Liao Army" marched out of the city in an orderly manner. One of the cavalry teams quickly came to them, and then raised their swords and slashed, and a Jin soldier who was still in front of the battle lost his head.

The others were so frightened that they didn't even pull up their pants and ran away in a hurry. Some of them even tripped because they didn't pull up their pants in time.

But no matter how fast a person is, he is not as fast as a warhorse. Soon, all the Jin soldiers who came to provoke were annihilated by this small group of cavalry.

The Jin generals in the distance were overjoyed when they saw the Liao army finally go out to fight. They immediately waved their scimitars and ordered their men to beat drums and march forward.

Suddenly, thousands of Jin soldiers rushed out from the forest outside the city, rushing towards the border town like locusts and ants.

But faced with this scene, the "Liao Army" that responded to the challenge was not at all panicked. The army that left the city first immediately formed a battle formation and rushed forward.

Facing the counterattack of the "Liao Army", the leader of the Jin army was completely stunned. Since the end of the Three Kingdoms' invasion of Liao, the Liao army has been a bunch of cowards. It's okay to hide in the city to defend it, but facing the Jin soldiers, they dare not organize an effective resistance. But this team of "Liao Army" dared to counterattack, which made him a little overwhelmed.

But now that things have come to this, they can only bite the bullet and go ahead.

But the result of this battle was completely beyond their expectations. The "Liao Army" in front of them was not as vulnerable as before. On the contrary, their formation was not chaotic, their attack was orderly, and their martial arts were superb. They were even stronger than them, their armor was stronger than theirs, and their weapons were sharper than theirs.

The arrogant and underestimated Nuzhen soldiers were stunned when they met such an army. Moreover, these cavalrymen were also very good at archery. Although they could not say that they could hit the target every time, they were all good at shooting arrows through the air from a hundred steps away.

Facing such an opponent, the two armies fought for less than one round before a one-sided massacre ensued. The Jin soldiers were beaten and fled in panic, and were no match for these "Liao soldiers".

Not only this small border town, but also along the thousands of miles of border from Yan State to Liao State, it can be said that they are flourishing everywhere.

The Jin soldiers who came to provoke the enemy were all beaten up by these "Liao soldiers". Moreover, these "Liao soldiers" were very ferocious and did not leave any alive or prisoners. Even if they surrendered, they could not avoid being killed.

This was not entirely due to the Song Dynasty's military merit system, but rather the "kill them all" order issued by Zhao Mu to the army. In addition to pretending to be Liao soldiers, they were to show no mercy to the Jin people, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young. Moreover, Zhao Mu also lifted the ban on burning, killing and looting for his troops in the name of "pretending to be Liao soldiers".

The army under Zhao Mu's command now is a real army of tigers and wolves. This time, not only can they gain military merits, but they can also earn some extra income and have women to entertain themselves with.

Now, the Song soldiers on all fronts were like chicken blood, rushing towards towns, villages, and cities without hesitation, as if they could trample and plunder everything in the Jin Kingdom.

Originally, Zhao Mu was a little worried that the Jin army was too powerful and his army would suffer heavy losses, but this time he was worrying too much.

Zhao Mu discovered that the Jin people were able to win the victory because they took advantage of the matching mechanism of the two incompetent emperors at the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Liao Dynasty, and they just picked up a big advantage.

But according to the casualties reported by his own army, the combat effectiveness of the Qi soldiers under Zhao Mu was obviously higher than that of the Jurchens. The so-called "less than 10,000 Jurchens are invincible if they are more than 10,000" was simply a joke to Zhao Mu.

Although the army under Zhao Mu's command could not be described as "one Han against five Barbarians", it had no problem fighting one against two.

The Qi soldiers directly crushed the Jin army in terms of numbers, equipment, and combat effectiveness. It didn't take long for the Jin army to be defeated.

However, although Zhao Mu lifted the constraints of military discipline, the army of benevolence and righteousness remained an army of benevolence and righteousness.

The brutality displayed by the Qi soldiers was also very targeted. They robbed the Khitan people of their food and money at most, but they did not hurt people, kill people, or rape women. They just left after robbing. When the remaining group came and saw that there was nothing, they did not make things difficult for them, and they left immediately to rob elsewhere.

As for the local Han people, although they also robbed them, they would also leave some for them.

But it was different for the Jurchens who moved in. As long as they knew you were a Jurchen, all your evil deeds would be exposed. Burning, killing, raping, and looting, you could say you did all kinds of evil. In the end, when the Song soldiers got tired of playing with them, they killed them with a single knife.

Moreover, Zhao Mu's order was "Leave no one alive", so they were naturally not polite. Those who should be killed were killed, those who should be forced were forced, those who should be robbed were robbed, and those who should be burned were burned. There is no greater cruelty than this.
