Street fighting broke out. The city defense of the Jin Kingdom was slightly different from that of the Central Plains cities. The Jurchen army built another fort in the city. The forts were made of big stones and were very strong and strong. Each fort could accommodate hundreds of soldiers.
It was filled with food and water. Even if the outer city was conquered, dozens of small castles inside would still have to be attacked.
This was the case in Liaoyang City, and it was also the case in Shangjing City. The defenders in the city quickly withdrew to castles one after another and continued to fight against the Western Army with bows and arrows. Many Goryeo soldiers who had no time to withdraw into the city fought fiercely with the Western Army soldiers in the streets and alleys.
These Goryeo soldiers were all North Goryeo soldiers, strong, fierce, and stubborn in resisting, while the Goryeo soldiers in the Liaoxi Corridor were South Goryeo soldiers with low morale and extremely weak combat effectiveness. Although they were both Goryeo soldiers, their fighting will was completely different.
Although these Goryeo soldiers who fought fiercely with the Western Army in the streets and alleys were very stubborn, they were all infantry and were no match for the Western Army's cavalry. In less than an hour, the 20,000 soldiers who fought against the Western Army in the streets and alleys were
All the remaining Goryeo soldiers were killed by the Western cavalry.
Next, we have to break down the hard bones one by one, building strong and strong fortresses. The effect of using small iron fire mines is not great, and it is not cost-effective to use large iron fire mines. The cost is too high.
The Western Army soon discovered that using kerosene was the best way to deal with the fortress. Not only fire, but also smoke, the people inside could not stand it.
However, the arrows in the fortress are very powerful. Soldiers holding kerosene bags will be shot down if they approach it even slightly. Although the kerosene fire cabinet can be approached, the amount of kerosene sprayed is not enough.
Chen Qing immediately ordered the demolition of the north and south city gates to allow heavy trebuchets to enter the city. The city gates were dismantled and widened, and large trebuchets were pulled into the city by strong oxen.
At this time, Chen Qing stood in the center of the city, looking at the largest military fort. The military fort covers an area of 20 acres, is about four stories high, is full of small windows, and has a wall outside. Outside the wall is a small river.
Surround the castle.
Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers were hiding behind the windows and shooting at the Western Army with crossbows. General Wanyanchi was also in the military fort.
Chen Qing nodded, "It's ready to launch!"
"emission!"
The city was filled with the smell of burning corpses, and every household was closed. No one of hundreds of thousands of people dared to go out.
By noon the next day, all fifty-three military fortresses in the city were finally destroyed. This time, Chen Qing did not consider the miners and ordered the Jin soldiers to be wiped out. No one was left alive and no surrender was accepted. All fifty thousand Jin soldiers were killed.
No one survived.
Zhao Qiaoyun looked at the memorial and said: "The plan is very comprehensive, but I found that there is an emergency plan missing, that is, it will take a month or two for the medicine and masks to be transported to Liaodong by water. This will delay things. I ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use emergency plans."
The best way is to first transport a batch of medicinal materials and masks to Yanshan Road."
At this time, even if the soldiers inside were not burned to death by the fire, they would be killed by the thick smoke, and almost all would suffocate to death.
Yang Zaixing is responsible for leading an army of 100,000 to evacuate millions of people in Liaodong, and the army of 100,000 will also withdraw to Pingzhou simultaneously.
Although the plague is a disaster, it is also an opportunity. The fear of the plague makes people of all ethnic groups in Liaodong willing to leave their homes and go to the south to avoid disasters. As for whether they can come back in the future, that is another matter. Yuguan and the Western Liaoning Corridor
One letter and they won't be able to go back.
At this time, two heavy trebuchets came slowly from the south and the north, and a dozen craftsmen nervously positioned themselves. A huge baffle was also placed in front of them to prevent the crossbows from being fired in the military fort.
A commander shouted, and the trebuchet in the north was launched first, "Bang!" With a loud noise, a burning kerosene tank rose into the air and roared towards the military fort. "Bang!" The trebuchet was accurate.
It hit the military fort, the pottery jar shattered, and the northern part of the military fort immediately burst into flames.
Princess Lu Xiu was startled and hurriedly called Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yingluo. The three of them almost discussed the review of the memorial.
This time, the Yong Kingdom learned from the lessons of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and relocated all ethnic groups living in Liaodong without leaving any hidden dangers. It also immigrated a large number of people from the Central Plains and Hebei to Liaodong, and provided land and tax incentives to allow the immigrants to live and work in peace and contentment, and the population grew.
In a few decades, the border troubles in Liaodong will be completely eliminated.
Several soldiers ran over with a large iron fire mine weighing 200 kilograms. They threw the iron fire mine into the military fort with all their strength, then ran away and lay down.
Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yingluo walked into the lobby, and Lu Xiu handed them the urgent memorial, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent it. A plague broke out in Liaodong. The prince asked the court to take urgent action to support Liaodong with supplies. In addition to the plans of the ministers, do you think there is any other plan?
What do you want to add?”
Chen Qingdang immediately ordered: "Blow it up with a large iron fire thunder!"
Without much delay, Chen Qing transported all the enemy soldiers outside the city to be burned and buried deep, and then began large-scale disinfection with quicklime. The Liaodong region itself was rich in lime. Chen Qing used 40,000 Korean prisoners of war to mine lime and used lime and lime water to disinfect it.
Liaoyang City was completely disinfected, and soldiers were ordered to move the people in Liaodong to Yanshan Road in the name of avoiding the plague.
At this time, there was an earth-shaking loud noise of "Boom!" in the distance. Chen Qing looked back and saw that another military fort collapsed a mile away. It turned out that the soldiers of the Western Army, under the protection of the heavy shield hand, smashed a
Two hundred kilograms of large iron fire mines were thrown into the military fort, and the military fort exploded and collapsed.
After discovering this, the Western Army used iron fire mines to destroy several large military forts, and the remaining small military forts directly burned everyone inside with oil-spraying fire bags.
This is actually a plan that has been made long ago. The people of the Jin Kingdom will be moved to various places in the Central Plains. After more than ten years, they will gradually become Chinese. At the same time, Han people will be moved to the hometown of the Jin Kingdom on a large scale. This is actually the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The strategy adopted was to establish the Andong Protectorate, move the Goguryeo people to the Central Plains on a large scale, and move the Central Plains people to Liaodong. However, the Sui and Tang Dynasties mainly targeted the Goguryeo people and ignored the Mohe people, Khitan people and Xi people. When the Tang Dynasty declined
Later, the Khitans grew stronger and controlled Liaodong.
"Boom!" There was a violent explosion, and the large military fort collapsed inward. This is the weakness of the military fort. It looks strong on the outside, but it is very fragile on the inside. As long as there is an explosion inside, it will easily collapse from the inside.
The fire oil tank on the south side was also projected over and hit the wall, turning the wall into a raging fire.
After three rounds of projection, fire and thick smoke filled the air, and black smoke billowed, engulfing the entire military fort.
The largest military fort in front of us was completely engulfed in fire and smoke. The kerosene attack had stopped. The Western soldiers lowered the drawbridge and hundreds of soldiers holding large shields and crossbows ran across the river and approached the military fort.
The leading commander waved his hand, and the soldiers took off the kerosene bags on their backs and sprayed hundreds of bags through the windows. The entire military fort was once again engulfed in flames.
"Sister, what happened?"
At the same time, Chen Qing also sent someone to inform Niu Gao, ordering him to move all the people of Dading Prefecture to Yanshan Road, while Linhuang Prefecture was to be on guard and not allow anyone from the Jin Kingdom to enter the city.
Hundreds of Western soldiers rushed forward and sprayed kerosene from the kerosene bags into the windows. This was more accurate than trebuchets throwing clay pots of kerosene, and the interior of the military fort also burned.
Only one hundred thousand troops were left to continue to confront the Jin army.
In Jingzhao, Yongwang Palace, an urgent memorial was delivered to Princess Lu Xiu. The seal stamped on it was emergency high category. This means it is more important and urgent than a Class A memorial. Usually it is a war or a major disaster.
, or major political events, such as the death of the emperor.
"Your Highness, the trebuchet is ready!"
Zhao Yingluo also said: "Officials once said that if you use gold lettering to deliver letters quickly, you can deliver the letter to Yanshan Road in seven days. Then you can also use relay method, can you use war horses to relay it?"
Lu Xiu shook his head, "The carrying capacity of the war horses is not enough, so it is better to use ships, cars and ships. Cars and ships are fast and can sail day and night. I estimate that it can be transported to Yanshan Road in about ten days."
Zhao Qiaoyun nodded, "Sister, this is a good idea. Using cars and boats is a good way. Three groups of soldiers will take turns stepping on it, day and night. It will be really fast if we take the Yellow River and turn to the Yongji Canal."
Lu Xiu immediately approved the defense memorial of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and at the same time added his own emergency transportation plan, suggesting that the goods should be transported as quickly as possible by vehicle and ship, and requested to be transported to Yanshan Road within ten days.
