Chapter 299 The Jin Kingdom Destruction 10

After hearing the news of Jamuha's battle with the Krei tribe, Wanyan Xiang was first surprised and then happy. What was surprised was that Sankun of the Krei tribe was so bold that he dared to fight Jamuha head-on before the Jin army entered the grassland. What was happy was that Jamuha actually fought with the Krei tribe and suffered both losses. This was really a timely good news for the Jin Kingdom.

There was also news from Fengxiang Mansion that Han Zhongwei was willing to sell 100,000 landmines and 300,000 grenades. This made Wanyan Xiang feel that there was a will in the dark, and God blessed the gold. The food, firearms, and soldiers had been mobilized. Everything was ready. Just a good day before you could send troops to Mongolia, allowing Jamukha to taste the tears of regret.

"Sir, the King of the Klie tribe of Mongolia asked for a visit." Wanyan Xiang was discussing with others when he would send troops, and he could hear the servants come in and report.

"Call him in, just in the main hall." Wanyan Xiang thought about it and immediately knew what Wang Khan was coming. He must have also learned that both Krei's tribe and Jamuha had suffered a defeat.

Wang Khan was indeed full of sorrow today. He did not expect that in the battle with Jamukha, more than 50,000 people were killed or injured in the Kere tribe. These were half of the warriors of the Kere tribe. How could Sankun be so confused? The soldiers of the Kere tribe died. It would be impossible to recover without ten or eight years. But even if Jamukha suffered any losses, he could still transfer people from other tribes.

Moreover, Sangkun's life and death are uncertain now, which is what Wang Khan is most worried about. Since he came to Zhongdu, he can be said to have cut off relations with the Krei tribe. The chief of the Krei tribe is Sangkun. The future of the Krei tribe is also related to Sangkun. If something really happens to him, even if he returns to the Krei tribe, he will not be able to do the same as before. Perhaps the only way now is to let the Jin Kingdom send troops as soon as possible. Only by defeating Jamukha as soon as possible is the best solution.

In order to get the Jin Dynasty to send troops as soon as possible, Wanyan Xiang must act as soon as possible, otherwise he, the commander, will not be in a hurry, when will the 500,000 army enter the grassland? Although the energy of the Kelie tribe is severely damaged, isn't the Zhadala tribe in the plateau? Such a good opportunity was exchanged for the life of the 50,000 warriors of the Kelie tribe. Such a good opportunity was exchanged for the future of the entire Kelie tribe.

"I have met Lord Wanyan." Seeing Wanyan Xiang coming, Wang Khan quickly stood up and bowed.

"No need for too much politeness, I wonder what Wang Khan has come here to see?" Wanyan Xiang asked knowingly.

"The villain came here to ask the adults something, when will the 500,000-strong army of Dajin enter the grassland?" Wang Han asked solemnly.

"This is a military opportunity, and it is not enough to be sympathized with outsiders." Wanyan Xiang said lightly. Although he was also very anxious, Wang Khan was even more anxious than him at this time. In front of him, he could be completely calm.

"Sir, the Krei tribe and Jamuha's plateau Zadala tribe are now fighting both sides of the plateau, which is the best time to enter the grassland. If the time is delayed for too long, Jamuha may have a chance to breathe." Wang Han said anxiously.

"Wang Khan, we don't tell lies in front of us. The military strategy is full of things. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Moreover, the emperor personally issued an order to attack Jamukha this time. I was also as anxious as sparks. But now the national treasury is empty, and Han Zhongwei of Fengxiang Mansion is stuck in the firearm and sits on the ground to raise the price. It is really difficult to set off in the near future." Wanyan Xiang sighed. In fact, just as he said this, his confidant had led 10,000 vanguard troops into the grassland.

"I also know that the emperor is not bad at hungry soldiers. But Da Jinnai is in power. Is there no money for fighting the war?" Wang Han said coldly. For the Mongols, as long as they have horses and swords, they can go out to fight at any time. Food, grass, firearms, and logistics are all nonsense.

Wanyan Xiang blushed when he heard this. When did the Jurchens develop such a luxury habit? More than a hundred years ago, they were even worse than the current Mongolians, but they still won the beautiful country of the Han people. But now, they are like those cowardly Han people. Without food and grass, they can't even use the army. This is simply a shame for the Jurchens.

Wanyan Xiang put away the intention of blackmailing Wang Khan. He originally wanted the Kelie tribe to give him tens of thousands of war horses, but now, he immediately gave up this idea. If he doesn't do anything else, at least he has to worry about the face of the minister of the country? He said seriously: "Wang Khan, in fact, the vanguard of this commander has entered the grassland and is trying hard to find the Kelie tribe of the Disabled Persons' Federation. I wonder if Wang Khan has any news about them?"

"What? It's so good. I wonder when the other troops will enter the grassland?" Wang Khan was happy. If the army of Dajin could enter the grassland in time, it would be worth it even if the Kelie tribe was killed or injured.

"As sooner or later, ten days sooner or later." Wanyan Xiang whispered.

"Okay, this is when Jamuha's morale is low. As the army of Dajin is pointed at, Jamuha will definitely flee in panic." Wang Khan laughed loudly, as if Jamuha had crawled at Dajin's feet now.

"It is not necessarily true that he escaped in the desert, but Jamuha wanted to take over the city. He knew that my army needed food and grass. As long as he could withstand the Mongolian city wall for half a year, our army would retreat in a difficult situation." Wanyan Xiang had already learned that Jamuha had buried all the mines outside the city. Wanyan Xiang was really funny about this self-inflicted approach. Landmines are dead. Although they are very powerful, they are not from all directions. You let people know that they are buried outside the city. Does anyone have no way to crack them? At least Wanyan Xiang knew several ways to crack the mine array. As long as he was given enough time, he could even open all the mines of Jamuha intact and leave them for himself to use.

Landmines are born as a weapon for sneak attacks. Jamuha used them very cleverly when unifying Mongolia, but now he has taken a chess move. Could it be that he had severely damaged the Qiyan tribe and the Naiman tribe because he followed Han Zhongwei's ideas? It is really hard to predict who will win the decisive battle with the Qiyan tribe with a firearm.

"He is destroying himself." Wang Khan snorted coldly. Jamuha was once called a hero on the grassland, but now what he does is like a coward and is not worthy of being Genghis Khan at all. Since Wang Khan heard the news, he has extremely contempt for Jamuha and never regarded him as the master on the grassland.

"This is not true to your and my wish? We should thank him for Jamukha's ability to make such a foolish move." Wanyan Xiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Wanyan, I have a reluctant request." Wang Khan suddenly said excitedly.

"Do you want to return to the grassland with me?" Wanyan Xiang said with a smile.

"Yes, I hope you can be successful. I want to see the miserable situation of Jamuka being defeated with my own eyes," Wang Khan said gritting his teeth.

"A gentleman has the beauty of becoming a man, I promise you." Wanyan Xiang pondered. In fact, even if Wang Khan didn't come to find him, he would let him enter the grassland with him. Now Sangkun has no idea about his life and death. Without Wang Khan's cooperation, how could he drive out the tens of thousands of troops of the Kelie tribe?

Although Wanyan Xiang was the Privy Councilor of the Great Jin Dynasty, he had to admit in his heart that the Mongols' combat power was higher than that of the Great Jin soldiers, and it was much higher. Jamuha's capital originally had nearly 200,000 troops. Now his plateau Zhadala tribe suffered heavy losses. In a battle with Sangkun, he lost at least 50,000 people. This made Wanyan Xiang feel that the pressure was much less. His determination to win also increased by several percent accordingly. Now with the cooperation of Wang Khan, the Krei tribe and Jamuha had already torn apart. If the two tigers fought, there would be one injury. They were already in a desperate situation. The final result was only one, that is, one side would eat the other side. In this case, Wanyan Xiang believed that Wang Khan would not retain his strength.

Half a month later, the 500,000 Jin army, ready to go, finally officially stepped on the Mongolian grassland. In the past decade, few troops in the Jin Dynasty would enter the Mongolian grassland. If Wanyan Xiang had not had 500,000 troops and the full cooperation of the Kelie tribe, and the huge number of firearms, he would not have stepped into Mongolia easily.

Looking at the endless army and the flag covering the sky and the sun, Wanyan Xiang, who was sitting on the horse, felt quite good. This time he entered the grassland to fight was significantly different from any previous time. Originally, the Jin soldiers entered the grassland with only rough goals and directions, but this time it was different. Jamuha built a capital city on the grassland that was enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops and people, and for the sake of dignity, he could not give up or dared to give up this city. This is why Wanyan Xiang found a clear goal. As long as the Mongolians had a fixed residence and had to deal with them, it would be much easier.

But even so, Wanyan Xiang was not proud. He adopted a steady march method. He divided the 500,000 army into five armies in front, back, left and right. He was at the center height, and even if Jamukha's army wanted to attack him, it would be basically impossible. You should know that Wanyan Xiang's scout sent a hundred miles away. Any army, as long as it is within a hundred miles, cannot escape Wanyan Xiang's eyes.

Facing the 500,000 army, no one was going to stroke the tiger's beard. Some tribes along the way immediately raised their tribes to move away after learning that Wanyan Xiang's army was about to pass through their territory. After the Jin army left for hundreds of miles, they returned to their original place.

After a smooth journey, I arrived at the Mongolian capital in more than ten days. Even Wanyan Xiang was shocked when he saw this towering and tall capital. The tall city walls lasted for dozens of miles, and although they were only red bricks, it was unquestionable because they used a lot of cement. Moreover, the appearance of this capital adopts a star-shaped design, and several branches will extend out on each wall, like an outstretched dock. No matter which direction the attack is, they will be counterattacked in three directions at the same time.

Although the appearance of such a city wall looks a bit weird, Wanyan Xiang can see the mystery at a glance. If his army attacks the city, the ordinary city wall will only be counterattacked in one direction, but here, it will definitely be counterattacked in three directions at the same time. Especially in front of each city gate, there will be an extended city wall on both sides of the gate, making entering the city gate like walking into an alley. On both sides of the alley are walls three meters high and two meters wide. As long as someone dares to directly attack the city gate, he will be attacked by both sides.

Moreover, because of these star-shaped tentacles, there are not too many troops that can be used to attack. However, the opponent can arrange it calmly. It can be said that even if Jamukha does not have firearms, he can hold on to such a city wall for more than half a year. Seeing such a city wall, Wanyan Xiang's confidence was a little shaken. Can he eliminate Jamukha within half a year? If he had 90% of the victory before coming to the Mongolian capital, but now seeing this strange city wall, his chances of victory immediately dropped to 50%. That is, 55% of the victory, and anyone may be defeated by the other party.

"Camp in Anzhai five miles away." Wanyan Xiang circled around the capital and began to issue orders.

"Sir, is it too far to camp five miles away?" Wang Khan has been following Wanyan Xiang. Not long ago, he and Wanyan Xun also surrounded the capital. At that time, they camped two miles away from the city.

"Five miles are not the end. If possible, I even want to camp ten miles away." Wanyan Xiang was considering the morale, and they came to attack Jamukha. If they were ten miles away from the capital, wouldn't the soldiers below panic?

Wang Khan suddenly thought of those two authentic tales. Wanyan Xun's 80,000 troops were attacked by Jamuha because they were too close to the city. Until now, Wanyan Xun's life and death are unknown. Since Wanyan Jing rejected Jamuha's conditions, he has never heard of Wanyan Xun again. With Jamuha's personality, Wanyan Xun is in danger.

"Wanyan Xiang is really cautious."

While Wanyan Xiang was inspecting the capital, Jamuha and Bi Zaiyu also came to the city wall. The 500,000 army looked very spectacular, boundless, with people and war horses everywhere, and there was no end to see. But soon, Jamuha discovered that the Jin army, which was already approaching, had retreated like a tide and finally camped in the village five miles away.

"Although he has an army of 500,000, but Wanyan Xiang's pressure is unprecedented. These armies are the largest number that the Jin Kingdom can use now. If something goes wrong in the grassland, huh, the Jin Kingdom is in danger. Wanyan Xiang came here this time and did not dare to have it. Can he be uncautious?" Bi Zaiyu smiled. Although Wanyan Xiang was quite famous, he was now bound by the 500,000 army and could not use his due ability at all. If Wanyan Xiang had no choice but to do his best. You can ignore the retreat of the 500,000 army. Maybe the capital city is the real danger, but now, even if you don’t have yourself, as long as Zhamuyou has those firearms, he can still ensure that the capital city is foolproof. Therefore, the Jin Kingdom spent all his talents, material resources and financial resources, and the 500,000 army used by the 500,000 army was destined to have the best ending to escape unscathed, and it was impossible to have the idea of ​​building a new achievement. But since he came, could Wanyan Xiang still let him escape unscathed?

"Brother Bi, when will we launch a counterattack?" Jamuha saw that Wanyan Xiang had the idea of ​​preserving his strength, and immediately prepared to turn the 500,000 army into his own merit with the power of a snake swallowing the elephant.

"No hurry, we have prepared eight tunnels now, and each tunnel has been dug for nearly ten miles. No matter where Wanyan Xiang's big tent is placed, it will be difficult for him to go back alive." Bi Zaiyu said with a smile. After creating the illusion of losing both sides with Kelie's army, Bi Zaiyu ordered Zhao Shijie to organize people and secretly start digging tunnels in the city. Because it is impossible to determine where the Jin army will camp, those tunnels are constantly extending forward.

In order to ensure the ventilation of the tunnel, a thousand people were prepared to serve each tunnel. Each person had a bellows to concentrate the wind into a large bamboo tube, and continuously sent fresh air into every place in the tunnel.

"It's a pity that the minefield was not arranged in advance, otherwise these Jin troops would be defeated in a moment like the people of the Krei tribe." Jamuka sighed.

"Wanyan Xiang is not as good as Sangkun. Although you have announced to the outside world that all the mines were buried outside the city, he was very cautious in this trip. You didn't see that even during the march, his scout was placed a hundred miles away? He is now like a fox crossing the river on the ice. He is careful every step, be careful." Bi Zai said, since Wanyan Xiang has come with the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking nothing wrong, it is impossible to ambush him.

Jamuha's reputation for using firearms has not only spread throughout the Mongolian grasslands, but who knows today? Wanyan Xiang has carefully studied every ambush battle in Jamuha. Therefore, what is Wanyan Xiang's most worried about along the way? Landmines.

When his army was moving, there was a mine detection team ahead, with a total of 3,000 people. These people were separated by far and were scattered. Even if one of them stepped on a landmine, it would not harm others. And his army had always maintained a dispersed formation. In order to prevent the mine formation that Jamukha might have set up, Wanyan Xiang was frightened every step, afraid of taking a wrong step. For such a person, can you arrange a minefield in advance? Don't even think about it.

In order to prevent these ten tunnels from being noticed by Wanyan Xiang, Bi Zaiyu dug them very deep and far away. Moreover, when Wanyan Xiang's army was still two days away from the capital, he ordered the digging to stop digging. He even forbidden any activities in the tunnel to avoid any movement coming to the surface. Although he had done a test, even if he was riding a horse underground, he could not feel it on the surface, but Wanyan Xiang now had doubts about everything, so Bi Zaiyu had to be careful.

In fact, Bi Zaiyu's prevention is not unreasonable. The first thing Wanyan Xiang did after ordering Anzhai to camp was to order the spread of clay pots and bamboo tubes inserted into the ground in the military camps. Wanyan Xun's 100,000 troops were destroyed by Jamuha's secret path. Wanyan Xiang would definitely take it as a warning and would never let Jamuha play the same trick again.

But Wanyan Xiang would never have thought that before he came, Bi Zaihui prepared ten tunnels, each tunnel was at least five meters above the surface, and the end of the tunnel was ten miles away from the capital. As long as the time was right, these ten tunnels would also bring disaster to Wanyan Xiang and his 500,000 army.
