In mid-October, the expansion troops were divided into three groups and approached Dadu. One of them was led by Bai Suozuo and had already approached Juyongguan.
After learning about it, King Polo Timur of Jining hurriedly sent more troops to Juyongguan.
Logically speaking, he should personally lead the troops to guard it.
However, he was currently planning to support the crown prince and could not leave for a while, so he asked his generals to quickly lead troops to resist.
At the same time, King Kaiyuan led the Mobei Army and the newly recruited Khitans and Jurchens, advancing all the way and arriving in Gaizhou, and there was a tendency to attack Jinzhou at any time.
Xinjincheng is the northernmost gateway to Jinzhou.
After Fu Youde captured Jinzhou, he has been running this city, intending to use this city to defend Jinzhou.
In the north gate tower, Fu Youde spread the map on the table.
"A hundred thousand yuan army has arrived in Gaizhou. The leader of the army is the leader of the Mobei Army. King Hana of Kaiyuan has come out! Let's talk about how to defend it!"
After the words fell, the other three generals remained silent.
I also realized at that time that it was right.
When King Kaiyuan just attacked the city, he asked the Nanchen and Khitan people to charge, but the Mongolian cavalry did not attack the city.
After getting along with each other for that period of time, I quite admire the two people's knowledge. Logically speaking, the two of them are not targeted.
Bian Yuanheng obviously agreed with Ou Chengzhen and Ou Cheng's opinions, saying: "We are all infantry. If we want to retain the cavalry, the only way is to lure the enemy deep and send troops to outflank the road ahead!"
Ou Chengzhen said: "For the current plan, we can only hold on to the city first and then adapt to changes!"
In the double fire coverage, the flesh and blood body has no power to parry. The artillery is weak in power and has a long range. The front-loaded musket has a short range but the shooting efficiency is extremely terrifying.
We mobilized less than 80,000 horses from the lower regions. As a result, almost everyone in the Yuan army was equipped with horses.
As if countless pebbles had fallen into the water, the formation of the charging first phalanx of men and Khitans was slightly chaotic, followed by the sound of sparse gunshots.
Liu Futong smiled and said: "Do you know that Fu Shuaishe is willing to give up the Xinxuda building that has been in operation for a long time?"
"Are the two generals underestimating the enemy?" Liu Futong frowned.
Kaiyuan Wang Xiaoxi ordered 10,000 vanguards to go ahead and seize the city as soon as possible!
That night, the vanguard arrived at the North Gate of Xinjin and captured Jinzhou with all their might.
Could it be that muskets and artillery are really not that similar?
Therefore, although the situation is chaotic, the fighting strength and fighting spirit of the Mongolian cavalry are still there.
Fu Youde was stunned, and felt that Bian and Xu seemed to have completely ignored the Yuan army during their conversation.
Fu Youde was calm when he arrived. Although he was full of doubts, he was not moved. He wanted to see the artillery with his own eyes. Before the battle with artillery, he didn't know.
After fighting for several hours, King Kaiyuan finally led his troops to fight a bloody path, followed by 20,000 remaining soldiers, and fought out of the encirclement.
The sound of artillery exploded suddenly, half of which were explosive shells.
Liu Futong reminded: "Although the Mongols are good at water warfare, they may also use waterways to get around to the front of ten thousand households and attack the households. It is necessary to defend!"
In my opinion, the rebels probably expected us to arrive so slowly and thought that the city wall was strong enough to be difficult to defend, so they abandoned the city and fled.
Two days later, careful investigation revealed that the enemy was waiting for their war horses.
Late at night, King Kaiyuan's main force settled in Xinxuda.
Bian Yuanheng said: "Your Majesty sent people to send five thousand muskets, plus the fifty artillery pieces on the city wall, the Tatars may not even be able to climb up the city wall!"
Jincheng's eyes flashed brightly: "Let's enter Jinzhou Wanhu Station and ambush two groups of troops on the east and west sides. While we are attacking Wanhu Station, the two groups of troops will arrive at the front."
"General Bian reminded you very much!" Bian Yuanheng nodded: "You will send warships to guard the coasts on both sides, so that we will not have any opportunities to take advantage of!"
King Kaiyuan was cautious in using his troops. He had heard for a long time that the Jiangdu army was cunning and failed even in enlarging the front line, so he sent 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard to explore the way behind.
Faced with such weapons, even if I send people to bring back cannons, muskets, and ballistae, it will have no effect!
The Yuan army in Gaizhou seemed to be waiting for something. Seven days passed, but there was no movement at all.
In other words, if we give up on Xinxuda, it means giving up on Jinzhou, and we haven’t regained the lost ground yet!
By two-quarters of an hour, the casualties of the charging Yuan army reached thousands.
By Haishi, King Kaiyuan's main cavalry also arrived at Wanhusuo.
To the south of Xinjin, are there any smaller cities? There are only a few military fortresses left.
Fu Youde nodded. If he could really defend Wanhusuo, that strategy was indeed wrong.
"When we failed in the attack and wanted to advance, two troops attacked from the front again, and the troops from Wanhusuo also rushed out. If we attack from eight directions, we will definitely defeat the enemy!"
King Kaiyuan thought it was right, so he refused to agree and sent an order to let the real men and Khitan people test the reality.
Bian Yuanheng turned his eyes to Bian and Xu Qiren.
The eight people discussed some details and finalized the strategy.
However, the city wall is only a foot lower than Xiaxinxuda. You can climb down the city wall by jumping on the horse.
As a result, the scouts reported that the enemies were stationed in Wanhusuo in Jinzhou and wanted to escape by boat.
At noon on the seventh day, King Kaiyuan's cavalry retreated within ten thousand households, but strangely, the enemy did not escape.
The Ten Thousand Houses House was built to look like a military fortress, just like a big solid city.
The enemy defended the strong Xin Xu Da, but defended such a tall and short fortress. Could it be that the defender was crazy?
Fu Youde looked around and said, "Why don't you say anything? Does it mean you don't have the confidence to defeat the Yuan army?"
Bian Yuanheng also led his troops to rush out of Wanhusuo, attacking from behind and from front.
Without that idea, King Kaiyuan simply wasted his energy chasing the enemy, and ordered his scouts to listen to the movement to see if the enemy was out to sea.
King Kaiyuan looked at the bloody battlefield behind him. He was so shocked and dumbfounded that he forgot to send a supervising team to punish the fleeing soldiers.
Ou Cheng agreed: "It would be beneficial for the enemy to attack the city and turn around to escape. It is said that they are stationed in Gaizhou and confronting your army will help us occupy the entire Liaoyang!"
Ou Chengzhen's expression changed slightly. After hearing the two people's voices, she actually wanted to abandon the city she had built for a long time.
King Kaiyuan snorted and said: "In Han Chinese terms, it's called crying when you see the coffin! Send the order up, the small army will rebel at Mao tomorrow, and at dawn, they will retreat towards Jinzhou Wanhu Station."
p>
Before the order was given, 20,000 male immortals and Khitan people formed seven cavalry squares and charged towards the city wall of Wanhusuo.
Xu Da followed: "The Tatars, with their hastily assembled army of 100,000, are by no means our opponents. It is not difficult to defend Xinjincheng!"
The horn of retreat had not stopped, and the cavalry of the seventh phalanx rushed over again. There was no difference between our appearance and the first phalanx, and we all fell into a pool of blood very slowly.
Bian Yuanheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "As long as we can defend Jinzhou and severely damage the Yuan army, it doesn't matter if Xinxuda is destroyed!"
After many battles, is there any general of the Yuan Army who dares to look at the Jiangdu Army?
At dusk, a vanguard of 10,000 cavalry arrived at Wanhusuo.
The enemy has even given up on Xinxuda, and is even more likely to defend these fortresses.
However, I was still one step ahead. Not long after we arrived, Jincheng's troops and Liu Futong's troops who were encircling me rushed over from the right and left.
It is night now, and I dare to attack Wanhusuo at night, so I ordered the small army to camp in the city and sent out a few teams to patrol and be on guard to prevent the enemy from hijacking the camp.
Seeing that Fu Youde always meant what he said, Ou Chengzhen asked: "Is it true that General Liu has no doubts about that plan?"
Bian Yuanheng secretly praised: "It's true that he has been the leader of a party. His knowledge and magnanimity are indeed far superior to ordinary people!"
King Kaiyuan stood on the city wall, looked up and saw how heavily reinforced the city wall was. Apparently, the enemy had been reinforcing the city wall during that period.
As a result, nothing happened that night.
"What do you two say?"
The enemy did not have such weapons, but gave up Xinxuda, apparently to lure the enemy deeper, so he hurriedly ordered the small army to advance to avoid being outflanked by the enemy!
When the two types of firearms were combined, the Yuan army was like moths flying into the flame, like wheat falling to the ground one by one.
In the early morning of the next day, King Kaiyuan led his troops to Wanhusuo and looked at the fortress behind him.
Bian Yuanheng and others followed the plan. When the Yuan army arrived hundreds of miles away, they abandoned Xinxuda and were in panic.
Xu Da and Bian Yuanheng looked at each other and said nothing.
"Rumble——"
Half an hour ago, the Nanchen people and the Khitan people ended their advance, hoping to get closer to Wanhusuo. So far, no one has climbed down this high and low city wall!
I saw soldiers and artillery standing under the fortress wall, which made me extremely surprised.
Liu Futong was silent for a while and said: "In your opinion, it is difficult to attack the enemy in this battle. What is difficult is how to severely damage the enemy!"
While I was thinking, the generals in my hand came over one after another to invite me to fight.
Ou Chengzhen took advantage of those few days to transfer all the artillery to Jinzhou Wanhu Station.
Bian Yuanheng looked at Fu Youde and said, "How does General Liu think we should deal with this?"
Before the Yuan army scouts heard the news, they reported it to King Kaiyuan.
What happened behind my eyes was beyond my understanding of siege warfare. The enemy's fire and hand blunderbuss were incredibly weak, as if they were a brand new weapon!
Even the war horses suffered heavy casualties!
Fu Youde said loudly: "I have just entered the military camp, and I am not familiar with muskets and artillery. I am afraid that the opinions I put forward are not appropriate. I will just observe it that time!"
In the early morning of the fourth day, the Yuan army finally retreated towards Jinzhou.
