Chapter 68 Return to surrender (2)
After the surrender of the Suchuan Guard Jin Fayan led 50,000 Ji army to surrender, the Ji Kingdom recruited 500,000 troops to resist Liao. Except for the more than 80,000 soldiers led by the Ji Xiang Gaomin in Pingcheng, the rest were annihilated or captured by the Liao army.
The Liao army has nearly 400,000 troops surrounded the Ji army on the Pingcheng area defense line, waiting to be annihilated.
After discussing with Lu Zhonglian, Rong Qi and others, Ji Kang believed that the current Ji Kingdom was at a dead end and basically had little resistance, and the war would end soon.
Under this circumstance, Ji Kang ordered the Liao army to arrange for the Liao army to keep the prisoners of war under the age of 18 or even over 30 to stay in the Ji land to guard the Ji land. All the other Ji army prisoners were escorted to the Liao land, especially the newly established Xing'an and other three counties for renovation last year.
He also sent people to inform Junxiangjuxin and others in Xiangping City, and asked the counties and departments in Liao to draw personnel and supplies, and seize the time to prepare for accepting Ji Kingdom.
On the other hand, the commander of the Liao army in the eastern region was notified to lead the army southward, join the main army in the western region, and ordered to wipe out all resistance forces going southward.
In order to end the war against Ji Kingdom as soon as possible and to completely pacify Ji Kingdom, the general Rongfu suggested that his lords and lords do not need to delay this battle.
For the more than 80,000 Ji army led by Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army in Pingcheng, if the Ji army continues to resist, they will be decisively annihilated to shock all forces in Ji Kingdom that dare to resist the Liao army.
After Ji Kang considered it, he agreed to Rongfu's opinion. After arriving at the periphery of Pingcheng, the army cleared all the Ji army outside Pingcheng within two days and wiped out more than 20,000 Ji army members.
On April 13, nearly 400,000 Liao troops arrived at Pingcheng City, surrounding the Ji army, which had 60,000 people left in Pingcheng City, and was blocked.
The news that Suchuan and Ji army surrendered to Liao quickly reached Pingcheng.
Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, heard that after that, he sighed and slapped in his own house in Pingcheng, as if he was dreaming.
I thought of the energetic spirit of leading hundreds of thousands of troops to the war. I never thought that I would fall into such a situation in less than two months.
The generals of the Ji army in Pingcheng are now in panic, not to mention the soldiers below. Now they all know that the fate of resisting stubbornly can only be a dead end.
In the afternoon, after learning that the main force of the Liao army had arrived, Gao Min led the generals of the Ji army to the top of Pingcheng City to explore the Liao army camp under Pingcheng.
Everyone stood at the top of the city and looked out from afar.
I saw more than ten miles away, the Liao army's camp was continuous and surrounded Pingcheng. The Liao army's camp was in a strict atmosphere. In the camp, there were squads and tents, each group and a battalion, with clear distinctions and orderly arrangements.
In the camp, the flags were like forests. Under the breeze, the bright military flags were like red waves, causing waves.
Under the setting sun, a solemn aura filled the military camp. Although it was far away from the city, this momentum came to his face, making the Ji army feel suffocating.
Gao Min looked at the generals of the Ji army and found that the generals all looked ashen and silent.
At this moment, in the tent of Ji Kang, the Liao army camp, Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian were also talking about Ji Xiang Gaomin.
Ji Kang smiled and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Mr. Lu, judging from the information reported by the Intelligence Bureau, this Gao Min is a talent!"
After hearing Ji Kang's words, Lu Zhonglian understood that his lord and lords loved talents again. He smiled and said to Ji Kang: "It is rare that this Gao Min is relatively honest. Judging from the information, since he became an official, he has also treated Guizhou leaders well, and he is also considered to love the people as much as his son!"
Speaking of this, Lu Zhonglian advised Ji Kang again: "Young Master, why not send someone to Pingcheng City and persuade Gaomin to surrender to our army."
Ji Kang pondered for a while and said to Lu Zhonglian: "There are more than 80,000 people in Pingcheng now. If our army attacks hard, it will be... But "the hero, my enemy" does not need to send someone to persuade the surrender. Tomorrow, someone will give Gaomin and even the Ji army a last chance to surrender."
Speaking of this, the young Junhou sneered and then said to Lu Zhonglian: "Mr. Lu, it depends on whether this Gaomin knows whether he knows it or not! This is the last chance for him. If he is still obsessed with it and refuses to surrender, our Liao army will not be stingy in killing. After the city is broken, he will take his head to commemorate the soldiers who died in battle."
Seeing Ji Kang like this, Lu Zhonglian knew that his lord had long been determined to win against Ji Kingdom. Tomorrow, someone would call for the 60,000 Ji army led by Gao Min to surrender, which was also to reduce the losses of the Liao army itself.
If Gao Min surrendered obediently, he would probably be able to spare his life. If he did not surrender, his own death would be a trivial matter. I am afraid that after the destruction of Ji Kingdom, even Gao Min's family would inevitably be cleansed.
On April 14th, under the city of Pingcheng.
In the early morning, the horns of the Liao army camp sounded, and the army was arranged neatly, heading towards Pingcheng. In the Liao army formation, flags were flying, and the soldiers were all wearing red battle robes and armor, like a red ocean, slowly flowing towards Pingcheng.
When Ji Jun at the top of Pingcheng saw this, he was both trembling and unable to do so.
The young king sat on the main seat on the command platform built by the Liao army. Many Liao generals such as Lu Zhonglian and Rongfu stood on both sides.
Ji Kang saw the army standing beneath Pingcheng City, raised his telescope and looked at the top of Pingcheng City. He found that there were densely covered with Ji Army generals and soldiers, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Put down the telescope in his hand and ordered: "Appoint people to call for Ji army to surrender, give Ji army half an hour. If we don't respond, our army can attack the city. If the city is broken, we will never accept surrender and kill them all."
After ordering, one or twenty Liao soldiers with rolled horns stood under Pingcheng City, holding horns, and shouted loudly to the Ji army at the top of Pingcheng City:
"Listen to the commander of the Ji army in the city, Gao Min and the soldiers, we will inform you of the order of the Liaochengjun of Yan State. Our Liaochengjun is an authentic direct descendant of the Zhou family, a noble family, and a noble status."
"The king of Ji Kingdom did not respect the destiny of heaven and violated our Liao territory for no reason. This led to many people in Liao territory. The king of Liaocheng was granted the order of heaven and led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the king of Ji Kingdom."
"Now all 100,000 Ji troops in the east have surrendered, and the 40,000 Ji troops who reinforced you and others have been completely wiped out by our army, killing the main general Goldman Sachs. Now you and others have been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of our troops, and they cannot escape with their wings."
"The king of Liaocheng values wise and capable, and is willing to reward people with virtue and talent. Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army in the city, and the generals of the Ji army, can lead their troops to surrender, the minor ones will be retained, and the serious ones will be given promotion rewards after assessment."
"If you fight stubbornly and fight against destiny, wait until our army breaks through the city, never surrender, and you will definitely kill you. Let me wait half an hour to consider it, submit as soon as possible, and don't be obsessed. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!"
After shouting three times, the Liao army stopped shouting again. A gong sounded, and the army stood quietly under the city, waiting to attack the city.
The Liao army shouted loudly, and it reached the ears of the 60,000 soldiers of Ji army from the top of Pingcheng and inside the city. When they saw the Liao army's actions today, they knew whether they would agree. Today is probably the last day of their own in the world.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of Ji army soldiers in Pingcheng were panicked.
The many Ji Army generals at the top of Pingcheng looked at the head coach Gao Min, and their faces showed a look of despair.
Although there are more than 60,000 soldiers in Pingcheng, there is no food or grass now, and now the war horses are all killed. Even if the Liao army does not attack the city, tens of thousands of soldiers in the city will be starved to death in a few days.
Let’s look at the hundreds of catapults standing in the Liao army outside the city. The Liao army just shouted, saying that breaking the city today is not a false statement. All the Ji army understood that there was no way to survive at present, so they could only surrender!
Gao Min, the commander of Ji Jun, who was standing at the top of Pingcheng, did not speak for a long time. After a quarter of an hour, his body trembled slightly.
Then he turned around and looked at the soldiers in the city, and found that everyone was looking at him, with a look of desire on his face, and some generals even showed a ferocious expression.
Gao Min understood that if he did not agree to surrender, he would probably be separated immediately. You may not survive, but others want to survive!
"Send the order and open the city gate, and all our army surrender to the Liao army." Ji Xianggao civilian ordered in a hoarse voice.
All the soldiers of the Ji Army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said in unison: "No."
After saying that, Gao Min didn't say anything anymore, ignored everyone on the city wall, turned around and walked down the city wall alone.
The soldiers of the Ji Army discovered Gao Min's figure, and were extremely desolate at this moment.
On April 15, the 13th year of King Wucheng, Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, led the remaining 60,000 Ji army to surrender to the Liao army in Pingcheng.
At this point, the entire Ji Kingdom's armed forces have been completely wiped out by the Liao army.
Ji Du was also exposed under the Liao army's military.
