The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder. Thousands of Jurchen cavalry surrounded Wanyan Aguda's carriage and walked in front.

Behind them were countless flags of various colors rolling up, and endless cavalry and cavalry followed. The main force of the Jin soldiers finally drove out of Ye Laishan City.

Wanyan Aguda got the exact news that Empress Dowager Xiao attacked at the tenth day of July. A day ago, about 40,000 Eastern Liao troops under the banner of Empress Dowager Xiao caught up with the 8,000 Jin soldiers from Tokyo Road commanded by Wanyan Zongwang on the west bank of Heihe River in the west of the Korqin Grassland.

Wanyan Zongwang dared not fall in love with the battle. After a little contact, he immediately crossed the Heihe River and retreated towards Yelai Mountain.

The victorious Empress Xiao's troops followed him and followed him!

To be honest, this news surprised Wanyan Aguda and his military generals and advisers. Empress Dowager Xiao was so easy to deceive, and was led to Ye Laishan by Wanyan Zongwang.

Although her 40,000 elite soldiers are difficult to deal with, it is impossible to be the opponent of the 140,000 Jurchen army led by Aguda. This woman is too naive, but why did such a naive woman fight with the Dajin Kingdom for so many years?

So Aguda no longer waited and immediately issued an order for the entire army to attack!

Using 140,000 people to hit 40,000 people...why is it a sure win battle, right?

Just leaving Yelaishan City, every Jin soldier who was walking on the road between the forests had a heavy face, and the sound of horse hooves added a little solemnity. Because they found that Wanyan Aguda, the founding lord of the Dajin Kingdom, did not ride a horse, but chose to take a car.

Aguda is not the "ninth generation" who grew up in the deep palace, but the entrepreneurial king who conquers the world by bowing and horses. And he is also the leader of the Jurchens who have been hunting among the white mountains and black waters since he was a child.

If he had the energy to ride a horse, he would never choose to take a car... It seems that all the rumors about the whirlwinds who led the birth of the Jurchens from the mountains and forests were true!

With Aguda's body, can it still support the heroic soldiers of the Dajin return in triumph?

If he fell on the front line, can this war affecting the survival of the Great Jin Kingdom still be able to continue?

In front of the team, there were frequent reports of cavalry running around, bringing the latest military newspapers continuously.

"Dubo is very liberated. The Liao Kou's brigade has crossed the Heihe River and is following the second prince's troops."

"Dubo is extremely savage. A large number of East Liao horses appeared on the grasslands in the western part of Raozhou (the area east and central area on the Qianli Pine Forest). It is suspected that the East Liao army headed north along the Qianli Pine Forest on the east side!"

Hearing the reward, Aguda just smiled: "Did the troops come from two groups? I wonder how many people there are along the way? 20,000 or 30,000?"

Wanyan Zonggan (Aguda's eldest son) riding a horse and walking beside the Aguda carriage smiled like a moment: "Father, let's just divide our troops into two groups to defeat these two Liao bandits! Then we went south along the Thousand Mile Song Forest to Songshan Prefecture and approached the border of Zhou!"

Aguda glanced at him lightly and smiled, "Destroy two enemy troops at once? Your appetite is quite good! But have you ever thought about it? Now the Liao people are in full swing, and the Zhou artillery team assists in the battle. Maybe a large number of Zhou troops will join the battle directly. Are we sure we will attack in two ways? The 140,000 troops brought by Gu are fundamental to the Jurchens. They cannot fight in a strait. If you are not sure, how can you easily divide the troops and fight to the decisive battle?"

Aguda looked relaxed, but while laughing, he rejected the request of his eldest son to attack the two Liao troops at the same time, which made the generals around him a little dejected.

Dubo Jilie is now getting less and less courageous, but the Empress Dowager Xiao is getting more and more courageous. Not only do she always lead the way, but she also dares to attack surprise troops to take risks. Although her troops are small, her combat power is not necessarily very strong, but she is always on the initiative.

The level of using troops to fight wars seems to be getting higher and higher... But why did you suddenly become stupid this time? There will be no fraud, right?

Can the 140,000 army that Du Bo Jilie gathered desperately really destroy her 40,000 people?

...

"The whole army stopped moving forward!"

The Empress Dowager Dongliao, who was still wearing a simple clothed clothes and marched on a war horse, suddenly issued an order.

"Here!"

The cavalry behind her responded with a loud bang, and then rushed to issue orders to the various thousand-house soldiers who were advancing.

"Is the mother tired?"

Yelu Aoluo, who was following Empress Xiao, quickly asked a question, looking concerned, as if he was a pure filial son.

Empress Xiao smiled and said, "Aguda is coming! He has many more people than me, so I will avoid his sharpness first."

"How did the mother know that Agu is coming?"

"Guess." Empress Xiao smiled, "I sent an order to let Xinzhi and all the military aircraft of ten thousand households and all the military aircraft of thousands of households come to the Imperial Camp to discuss the military."

"Here!"

Several more riders left.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her son with a confused look on her face again, and felt a little more contempt in her heart.

This child can't fight at all, and he has the same virtue as his devil father...

"Aoluo, how to fight the next movie, tell me."

"How can I know..." Yelu Aoluwu shook his head. He really didn't know that although he had learned to use military wars since he was a child, he had learned all the courses of Tianjin Cavalry Academy (teached by Zhou State's military consultant). But he had no idea when he went to the battlefield, and he was even worse than his brother Yelu Yanxi!

"Get into Linhuang Mansion!" Xiao Sesse said, "The Jin soldiers who led us to the west bank of Heihe River were driven from Linhuang Mansion. So the city of Linhuang Mansion must be very empty now, maybe only a few thousand people. It is a good opportunity for us to seize it!

As long as he captured Linhuang Prefecture City, even if Aguda brought 200,000 troops, he would have to return in vain."

What? Yelu Aoluo was shocked when he heard this. Linhuang Prefecture City had been transformed into a bastion! It was mostly equipped with cannons, and there were thousands or tens of thousands of Jurchen defenders. How could they be defeated?

"My mother, Linhuang Mansion City can be strong..."

Xiao Sesse smiled and said, "It is precisely because of its strongness that the Jin people are fearless. But Wei Niang also has a killer weapon, and Linhuang Mansion City will soon return to the hands of the Daliao!"

Really?

Yelu Aoluwu was unbelievable and felt a little regretful... His mother is still very capable, but she is too ambitious and is not satisfied with being the queen mother, so she wants to be the queen.

Otherwise, if the mother and son are united, why worry about the Liao Dynasty's failure to prosper?

Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Yixin, the brother-in-law of Yelu Aoluo, had arrived. Wu Yixin's left army was in front of the right army led by Empress Dowager Xiao. However, he did not lead the team to the front of the main column, but instead held the back team. It was not far from Empress Dowager Xiao's personal army, so that in an emergency, Wu Yixin always felt that Yelu Aoluo had no good intentions...

"King, Empress Dowager." After seeing Yelu Aoluo, Wu Yixin still saluted respectfully. His identity was also very special, so he could not say too many bad things about Yelu Aoluo in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

"I believe that, I will immediately send two teams of thousands of people to disguise themselves as the main force of the army and continue to follow the Jin people. Yu Zhong gathers to rest and starts to turn to the northeast tonight, targeting Linhuang Mansion City!"

"Here!"

It was said that it was a military discussion, but Xiao Sesse directly issued a order to turn.

The bleak army of 40,000 is now located about 150 miles east of the southern foot of Yelai Mountain and about 130 miles from Linhuang Mansion City. Complete the turn tonight and you can all arrive at Linhuang Mansion City in two days, and you will be able to complete the encirclement one day.

"Believe it," Xiao Sesse asked, "If you start siege in three days, how many days can you break the city? How many casualties are there?"

"It depends on the situation," Wu Yixin said. "I don't know whether the prismatic castle in Linhuang Mansion can block the shells? If it can block the shells, it may take two or three days to concentrate the artillery to open the gap and then launch an impact... As for whether it can be captured, it depends on the situation of fighting with one hand."

Zhou Jun has been studying ways to build and attack the bastion over the years. Wu Haogu also proposed a method, such as casting a short and chunky stone-shaped curved artillery to fire the firing bomb... However, the flowering bomb can never bloom, so this method is not reliable for the time being.

However, the Zhou army still found a simple and feasible method, which was to concentrate all artillery bombardment a little. At the same time, cast more powerful siege cannons to bombard the castle.

The First Siege Artillery Battalion of the Zhou Army, now deployed in Baoyi Pavilion, is an artillery unit specially used to bombard the bastions. It is equipped with 16 12-pound cannons! As long as you don’t encounter the 24-cornered bastion in Xuzhou City, a fortress built at all costs, which can always be blasted.

As for the Jin Dynasty's bastion, the level of construction was actually very poor. The main problem was that the city walls were not inclined enough to withstand artillery attacks. Secondly, the lack of firepower, and only a small number of light artillery imported from the Song Dynasty were not enough to form dense cross-fire power, nor could it be possible to bombard enemy artillery positions with far distances.

Therefore, the city walls and the fortress of Linhuang Mansion are not unbreakable, but the real threat to the attacking Dongliao Army was actually the thousands to ten thousand Jurchen warriors who defended the city.

...

"Leave the way, the Liaogouyuanzunzima of the brigade appears east of Heihe again!"

"Left behind, the men encountered a large group of Liaogou cavalry near Xuanhua Pavilion..."

"Leave the door, and there are also large Liao soldiers near Zuzhou City!"

On the afternoon of the second day after Empress Xiao led her army to the northeast, the scouts of the Jin army brought back the news that the Liao army had large numbers of Liao army and appeared on the east bank of Heihe River to Linhuang Prefecture City and reported it to Wanyan Xieye.

"What? Liaogou is back?"

"Live behind, could it be that Liaogou met the army of Duboji and was driven over?"

"It's not that fast, right? The extremely fierce army has just walked out of the thousand-mile pine forest?"

Several of Wanyan Xie's subordinates immediately started to discuss. At this time, no one expected that Empress Dowager Xiao would lead his troops to attack Linhuang Mansion, and Wanyan Xie did not expect that. Because there were 8,000 soldiers and a comparable number of deputy soldiers in Linhuang Mansion City, Ali Xi, and 16 250-pound cannons.

Even if there are 100,000 Liao troops, it is impossible to break through Linhuang Mansion... unless the Zhou State takes action directly!

But will Zhou send troops?

To be honest, Wanyan Xie was also unsure and didn’t know it.
