Chapter 291: Defeated Before Fighting

() Corresponding to the Goryeo Palace is the sky full of artillery fire under the Shangjing City of the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Zongqian also brought a lot of artillery from the Song and Qing Dynasties, but in order to decisively fight the Liangshan army, they were all handed over to Wanyan Zongwang to take to the Youzhou front line.

Hu Yanzhuo knew how to use troops well. After arriving in Shangjing, he immediately set up artillery to attack the city without giving Wanyan Zongqian time to breathe.

Regarding this Liangshan army that suddenly appeared, Wanyan Zongqian had no tears to cry. When he received the news, Luzhou had already fallen, and this army almost came by biting the tail of the scouts.

There is no time to prepare.

The troops and horses were all on the front line of Youzhou, and it was too late to mobilize. He wanted to play some kind of delaying tactic to delay the attack for a while. But the Liangshan troops did not give him a chance at all. After arriving, they took a short rest. Wanyan Zongqian's envoy had not yet left the city.

The sound of artillery started over there.

The garrison in Beijing was about 20,000, which was about the same number as Liangshan. However, they were really frightened by the Liangshan army. When they saw the Liangshan army suddenly appearing under the city and those dark artillery, they immediately lost their fighting spirit.

.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't even give them a chance to escape. With an order, dozens of artillery aimed at one place and began to bombard them indiscriminately. The power of one artillery was enough, let alone dozens of them at the same time.

Bombard a place. Soon, an entire city wall collapsed. Countless soldiers who had no time to escape were trapped under the city.

Hu Yanzhuo knew that he had few soldiers, so he was not in a hurry to attack. He ordered his soldiers to rush up and seize the collapsed city wall when the artillery fire stopped. Then he used it as a stronghold to push the artillery up and continue to fire into the city.

It’s not that the Jin soldiers guarding the city didn’t want to fight back, but Liangshan’s artillery fire was too fierce. The shells raining down made them unable to raise their heads. After the artillery fire stopped, the Liangshan troops had occupied the high ground of the city wall and marched condescendingly into the city.

The shooting began.

Although the Liangshan troops did not attack, Wanyan Zongqian knew that the situation was over and that he could not fight again. He wanted to negotiate, but they would not talk to you. Now he really regrets that he should not have listened to the Mongols and offended Liangshan. At the same time, he believes

, Wanyan Zongwang’s men were also finished.

In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his people to escape from the other side of the city gate. According to his idea, he would spare the Liangshan troops and then rush to join Wanyan Zongwang. He still had an army of 200,000 people there. If he couldn't attack Liangshan, he would go north to the grassland, or even

No problem further away.

Wanyan Zongqian's idea was good, but he didn't want to think about it. Liangshan had created such a huge battle, and Gongsun Sheng was leading the troops. How could he be allowed to run away like this?

While marching, Gongsun Sheng analyzed Wanyan Zongqian's possible actions.

The troops in the capital were empty. With Wanyan Zongqian's temperament, it was impossible for him to choose to resist to the end. Then the only way left was to escape. So where could he escape? What route should he take? This is what Gongsun Sheng wants to study.

After some research, Gongsun Sheng immediately divided his troops into two groups, one to support Hu Yanzhuo, and the other to set up an ambush on Wanyan Zongqian's only route south.

Wanyan Zongqian, who was in a hurry, never expected that the arrangements of Liangshan troops would be so thorough. He was caught off guard and ran into the encirclement of Liangshan. Fortunately, Gongsun Sheng gave the order to be captured alive, otherwise he would have died under a landmine.

Poor Wanyan Zongqian, who had been busy for most of his life and wanted to be the emperor. After finally becoming the emperor, he became a prisoner of Liangshan before he could even sit on his butt.

After Gongsun Sheng got the news, he once again flew a pigeon to send the message to Youzhou. Then he sent it to Luoyang until it was delivered to Song Qing who was still in Lin'an.

At this time, on the Youzhou battlefield, Han Shizhong led the Liangshan army to take over the battle with the Jin soldiers. However, it was a small battle and nothing had been seen yet. He was also waiting for definite news from Beijing.

When Han Shizhong received the news that Gongsun Sheng had captured Luzhou, he actually knew that there was no suspense in this battle. What he had to do was to kill the Jin soldiers to the maximum extent, and it was best to deal with them once and for all.

The Liangshan camp was built close to the city. With its sharp firearms, the Jin soldiers did not dare to get too close.

Wanyan Zongqian's original idea was to send troops from all three sides at the same time, so that the Liangshan troops would not be able to take care of both the head and the tail, thus completely disrupting the Liangshan army's defense.

But what Wanyan Zongwang didn't expect was that Yesugei from the Mongolian Begging Division suddenly withdrew with his men without knowing that something was wrong.

Yesugei was the leader of the Mongolian army this time. He suddenly left without making a sound. How could the battle be fought? Juerhan and Tugusa, who were not sure why, could only stand still and sent people to chase Yesugei. They asked

What happened to him?

Everyone has weaknesses, and Yesugei's weakness was Grele, but he never thought that he was about to send his army to a decisive battle with the Liangshan troops, but at this time, the rear came to report, Grele and other men

Ran away.

In fact, Li Yu has always been by Yesugei's side, and it was not him who abducted Grelle, but Grelle wanted to take this opportunity to leave Yesugei and fly away with Li Yuyuan. This was what the two had discussed long ago.

Li Yu knew that Yesugei cared about Grele very much, and he just wanted to disturb Yesugei's mind through this move, but he didn't expect that this old man was so passionate and could put down such a big thing and go back to find his woman.

Li Yu really sighed in addition to sighing.

The Mongolian army stagnated, which made Wanyan Zongwang, who was cautious by nature, feel a little bad.

Soon, this feeling became a reality. A Liangshan army appeared out of nowhere and forced Wanyan Gao to death. After occupying Luzhou, it quickly rushed towards Beijing.

Hearing the news, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Only now did he realize that Han Shizhong clearly had no fewer troops than him, but he refused to go to war. He was waiting for the news of going to Beijing!

It's ridiculous that the three families' army of more than 500,000 troops attacking the Central Plains seems like child's play now, but it turns out that it was already under the control of the Song and Qing Dynasties.

Shangjing is empty. With Liangshan's military front, it is not impossible to capture Shangjing. Even if he wants to save it now, it is too late.

What should we do? The two armies have already clashed. If they retreat like this, Han Shizhong will definitely chase him. With Han Shizhong's cautiousness in using his troops, it is almost impossible to ambush him.

But it won't work if you insist on it! It won't take long for news to come to Beijing. Even if you want to hide it, Liangshan will definitely have a way to let the soldiers know. By then, there will be no need to fight, and the morale of the soldiers will be chaotic.

In any case, this battle cannot be fought. Wanyan Zongwang ordered the generals to gather in the Chinese army's tent to discuss the next move.

In fact, not only Wanyan Zongwang, but also many generals in the Jin camp were not optimistic about this battle. After all, the Liangshan army was too powerful. When they heard the commander's message, they thought that a war was about to start against Liangshan, and they all rushed away in the shortest possible time.

come over.

After all the generals arrived, Wanyan Zongwang glanced at the generals first, and then said slowly: "I have some very bad news for you. Liangshan has sent a special force to the capital. If what I expected is true,

Shangjing will fall soon. Now I want to hear your thoughts on what we should do next."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Wanyan Zongwang's words were like a thunderclap, which stunned the generals. However, it was only a brief silence, and then it buzzed like a swarm of bees.

How could this happen? There were 200,000 troops guarding this side. How did the Liangshan troops get to the back?

Wanyan Zongwang waited for the generals to buzz for a while, then said: "It's useless to say anything now, and if we retreat suddenly, the Liangshan troops will definitely chase and kill us. It is almost impossible for us to retreat unscathed, so I

I want to hear your thoughts on how to save our troops to the maximum extent."

Wanyan's mother said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me for talking too much, general. Now that Liangshan troops have appeared in the rear, where should we retreat to?"

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang has also been thinking about this issue. After going to Beijing, his brother Wanyan Zongqian may be in trouble, so why should he lead his troops back to Beijing?

In addition, if the Liangshan troops who went to Beijing returned and attacked Han Shizhong, wouldn't they be in danger of being annihilated?

"The north is the ancestral land of our Jurchens. Only when we return there can we be considered safe, but the route needs to be carefully considered."

After hearing what Yan Zongwang said, a general couldn't help but said: "We might as well return to Zhongdu before making any plans. There is a strong city guarding there, and the Liangshan troops are afraid and can't do anything!"

Wanyan Zongwang was afraid that the generals would go to Zhongdu, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Can the walls of Zhongdu block Liangshan's artillery?"

One sentence made everyone fall silent, yes! The Liangshan army had conquered Zhongdu once. If they went to Zhongdu, wouldn't they be asking for death?

While Wanyan Zongwang was convening a military meeting, Han Shizhong was also silently staring at the map in a daze.

After Gongsun Sheng settled in Beijing, he would soon send his troops south to surround Wanyan Zongwang with himself. With Wanyan Zongwang's ability, he could obviously think of this, so what he was thinking about now was how to retreat his troops.

Of course Han Shizhong also hoped that Wanyan Zongqian would retreat to Zhongdu, so that he could repeat the battle to break the city, but that was obviously impossible, so how would he retreat and where would he retreat to?

Looking at the map, Han Shizhong's eyes gradually lit up after a long time.

Obviously one pen cannot describe several scenes at the same time, but many things really happened at the same time.

Yesugei's sudden withdrawal caused the Mongolian army to stagnate. While waiting for the exact news from Yesugei, Wu Yong saw an opportunity.

He immediately handed Gao Chong 20,000 cavalry and raided the Mongolian camp at night. Lin Chong followed closely with 100,000 troops to support him.
