Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 306 Joy is not over (7)

The fact that the Liao army had cut off their retreat route aroused Wanyan Aguda's barbarism, and he was determined to fight to the death with the frontal Liao army.

He looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice, ""When Ningjiang raised troops, we only had 3000 people, and Liaogou had 7000 people.Liaogou thought that they could eat Jurchens like crushing ants, but we defeated them!When besieging Huanglong Mansion, we only had 2 people, and Liaogou had 10 people. We beat them to hide in the city like turtles.Now we have 15 Jurchens, and Liaogou has 10,000+. Do you think we can defeat Liaogou? "

"Yes!" "Of course!" The young generals responded in unison.Wanyan Zonghan shouted: "Catch the Liao dog emperor Yelu Dashi alive!" Although Wanyan Zongbi and others were heavy-hearted, their spirits were lifted by the excitement of the group.At this time, he subconsciously looked at Han Ningshuang, but saw Han Ningshuang lowered his head, as if talking to Zhao Xingde in a low voice beside him, Wanyan Zongbi's face suddenly darkened, he slammed his fist on the desk, and shouted, : "Kill these bastards!" His voice was loud, and Yan Zonghan beside him patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and said excitedly: "Yes! Defeat Liaogou!"

Zhao Xingde looked at these yelling generals of the Kingdom of Jin, and for some reason, an ominous premonition surged in his heart. "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Liao army wins and the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the Han army will have difficulty gaining a foothold." Han Ningshuang asked in a low voice: "Is there any way for General Zhao to deal with the artillery of the Liao army?" , He has a very clear grasp of the situation of the struggle between Liao and Jin.Han Ningshuang knew that the main force of the Jin army had fallen into a trap, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Wanyan Aguda was indeed determined to fight against the odds, and fought with his back. After the Jin army was destroyed, all the pressure fell on the Han army.If he preserves his strength at this time, it may be too late to regret in the future.

"Even if the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed." Zhao Xingde whispered, "There is still the Kingdom of Xia supporting the Liaodong Han Army." Because of the influence of his original memory, Zhao Xingde's disgust and disgust for the Kingdom of Jin far exceeds that of ordinary Han people.Firearms are an important reliance for the Han people in the Central Plains in the future. Before the advent of flintlocks, both artillery and firecrackers had major flaws. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to teach Jin Bing the method of restraint.

"The country of Xia is far away, and it is difficult to help. If the country of Xia wants to raise its troops to the east, it must first pass through the Datong Mansion in Xijing. The Liao Kingdom recruited a grassland tribe from Merbo and placed them in the Datong Mansion of Xijing. The Great Khan is a character." , not only attached to the Liao Kingdom, but also traded with the Central Plains, and the tribe was very prosperous." Han Ningshuang said in a low voice, "If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, hundreds of thousands of Liao troops will continue to sweep the 'holes' in Liting in Liaodong. Unless Song Guodong and Hebei Daying sent troops in two ways, threatening Nanjing Road, otherwise, Yelu Dashi would not be able to withdraw from Liaodong immediately." Her eyes were full of worry. I understand that Yelu Dashi's control over the Liao Kingdom has become tighter and tighter over the years, and the results of the military reorganization can already be seen in today's battle.

Zhao Xingde lowered his head and groaned.The method for the cavalry to restrain the artillery is actually simple, but because the artillery has hardly been used in the decisive battle of the army before, if the Jin army tries to find a way from the beginning, this battle will undoubtedly be defeated.The power of new weapons is not only the direct damage it causes to the enemy, but more importantly, the psychological deterrence.Just like in today's battle, the damage caused by the Liao army's iron barrel artillery to the Jin army was not unbearable, but even Wanyan Aguda, who was as tough as Wanyan Aguda, had to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that Zhao Xingde was silent, Han Ningshuang stopped talking.She sighed slightly, then looked up at the discussions among the generals in the tent.

At this time, Wanyan Ci said in a low voice: "Shenzhou has fallen, and in another month, we will run out of food!" The first wave of the independent army is extremely strong, and the emphasis on food and grass is far higher than that of generals.Therefore, even though this remark was inappropriate, Wan Yanci still mentioned it.But from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Wanyan Aguda could dispel this doubt for himself.In essence, Wanyan Cibushi, like other generals of the Kingdom of Jin, had a faint reliance on the tribal chief who led the uprising in terms of confidence in victory.Especially when the war situation is critical.

"The first Bo Jilie said it very well. I haven't forgotten our problem of food and grass." Wanyan Aguda smiled, "But, who said it will take another month." Wanyan Aguda looked at the generals, raised his tone and asked He said, "Warriors, will it take a month to defeat Liaogou?"

"No need!"

"Just one day!" Wanyan Zonghan roared.

"That's it." Wanyan Aguda said in a deep voice, "When you defeat Liaogou, you will have as much food and grass as you want!" He paused, and after watching Yan Ci, he still looked worried, and said in a deep voice, "Here we are Now, we have to admit that Yelu Dashi is a cunning opponent, and he is the most cunning general of the Liao Kingdom who has fought against us in the past few years." The faces of the generals darkened slightly, and some things are not just turning a blind eye It can be solved. Yelu Dashi's strategy and the changes he brought to the morale of the Liao army are all obvious.Wanyan Ci nodded without hesitation, because he admitted this, but felt a little more at ease in his heart, after all, Wanyan Aguda was not blindly arrogant.

"But." Wanyan Aguda looked at the faces of the generals, and added, "He can't beat us either!"

"This is a war between the Jurchens and the Khitans. Changshengtian has always been on our side. Yelu Dashi is a character, but he can't change this. We Jurchens can endure hunger and thirst. Fighting like a tiger, you can charge dozens of times in a row until the enemy is defeated. These are things that the Khitans cannot do. We already know what the Khitans are like. It is impossible for a sheep to become a tiger in one day. Even Yelu Dashi can only change the Khitan people on the surface, they are just pretending. As long as we give them a hard blow, they will soon 'reveal' their original form like a cowardly demon. Maybe Yelu Dashi is a cunning The hunter, he thought that throwing down one piece would be able to kill the Jurchens. But can the thin one be able to stop the tiger? No, we will tear this piece up! We will definitely be able to defeat them!"

The patriarch also served as the sacrificial priest in the past, and Wanyan Agu's words restored the confidence of most of the generals of the Jin Kingdom.Many people recalled that when the Wanyan Tribe first raised their troops, the balance between strength and weakness was much more dangerous than it is now, but Changshengtian still stood on the side of the Jurchens, and everyone won a victory that seemed like a dream.Compared with the past, what is the current situation?

Under the continuous encouragement of Wanyan Aguda, the morale of the generals of the Kingdom of Jin gradually increased, and they became more and more confident in the battle in the future.The haze in Zhao Xingde's heart is getting deeper and deeper.He could hear Wanyan Aguda's beating, as if a trapped animal was roaring.The situation in Liaodong is indeed precarious.If Yelu Dashi really pacified Liaodong with ease, where would his hundreds of thousands of troops point?Zhao Xingde pondered for a long time, and the generals of the Jin Army had already resigned, and he and Han Ningshuang remained in their seats.Seeing that they did not leave, Wanyan Zongbi and Zong Han also stayed.

"This time we will have a decisive battle with Liaogou." Wanyan Agu laughed, "General Zhao is also needed. Liaogou knows that we also have artillery in the Kingdom of Jin." The artillery of the Kingdom of Jin was purchased from the Kingdom of Song, and he also imitated and cast some of them. But neither the quality of the artillery nor the artillery skills of the "handling" artillery can compare with Xia Guoying, or even inferior to the Han army.

Zhao Xingde nodded lightly, looked at the four people in the tent, and said slowly: "As Your Majesty said, the Jurchen is flourishing, and the Liao Kingdom has been established for a hundred years. Among them, the disadvantages and weakness are not because Yelu Dashi can do it in just a few years. It can be completely restored." His tone was a little uncertain, the morale of the army is accumulated by victory, if the Liao army can continue to win again and again, Yelu Dashi will change the Liao Kingdom more and more. This is why Zhao Xingde finally made up his mind. The Liao army is already very strong, and they must not be allowed to easily defeat Jin Guo.If not, the next ones to suffer are likely to be Hedong and Hebei.

"Yelü Dashi used artillery to contain the sharpness of the Jurchen cavalry. If you follow General Wanyan Loushi's method and use the cavalry to circumvent the flanks, deceiving him that the artillery turns inconveniently, it is also a way. I'm afraid no matter how roundabout you are, you won't be able to avoid the artillery bombardment."

Wanyan Agu nodded, he had already thought of what Zhao Xingde said.The cavalry is the easiest to turn around the flanks, so facing a large number of cavalry, it is also a common practice for the Chinese army to arrange a large formation in a circle.The same is true of the Golden Army itself.

"What's the point, isn't it more powerful than arrows?" Wanyan Zonghan muttered, "If you go all out, I can rush in!" Wanyan Agu glared at him, motioning Zhao Xingde to continue talking.

"However, the circular array will distribute the artillery on all sides. On one side, the density of the artillery will be small. If you divide the artillery into teams and bombard them in circles, as I said just now, the power of the artillery fire may not be enough. Contain the impact of the large group of cavalry. In this way, if the impact of the Jin cavalry is powerful enough, it can still force the Liao artillery to give up the practice of firing sequentially."

"The artillery is ignited with the 'powder' primer. From the order to the firing, there is a gap. After the Liao army ignites the 'powder' primer, if the cavalry can quickly turn back and disperse, it will be the enemy's artillery fire. When the cavalry is fired, the losses suffered will be much smaller, and the enemy can charge again after firing the artillery, which can minimize the damage caused by the artillery to the cavalry."

"However, if the cavalry turned back and the artillery of the Liao soldiers fired before they left, what should we do?" Wanyan Zongbi asked. "There's nothing to do." Zhao Xingde looked at him expressionlessly, "This is a life gamble. Nine deaths are better than ten deaths."
