“Very strong?”

Wanyan Wushuya asked.

“Very strong!”

Wanyan Aguda replied.

This answer made Wanyan Wushuya's eyes twitch.

"Can you win?"

Wanyan Wushuya stared at Aguda with bright eyes.

Wanyan Aguda did not answer directly, but asked, "Can you really fight?"

Wanyan Wushuya shook her head: "That may not be possible. If you can negotiate peace, there is no need to fight."

Wanyan Aguda nodded and said, "It's difficult to win, but it's not easy for them to win."

Wanyan Wu Shuya smiled in surprise: "What do you say?"

Wanyan Aguda's answer made him feel a surprise. In his own opinion, he could not win any of it, because the deeper he knew about Daxia, the more powerful Daxia was.

Only Wanyan Aguda heard: "We give up the city and put the battlefield on the grassland. We will burrow into the grassland, the desert, and the old forests in the northeast. It will take a year or two to delay the Xia Dynasty army without fighting."

Wanyan Wu Shuya couldn't help but feel disappointed: "That's it..."

If so, what's the difference between it and before?

Feeling Wanyan Wu Shuya's disappointment, Wanyan Aguda comforted: "There will always be power in this prairie. If we don't occupy it, there will be more northern grassland peoples to occupy it. At that time, it will still be a trouble for the Daxia Dynasty. At least we will cooperate with them. Let's lower our attitude and ask Ouyang Bian to give us a ban, so that he should not beat us."

Wanyan Wu Shuya was still a little disappointed: "Well, then we can't establish the country."

Wanyan Aguda advised: "Although we cannot build a country, we actually occupied it. We need time. It only takes ten or twenty years to digest it. The land and population here will be digested. Our strength will be increased by at least ten times. Then we don't have to worry about them. At that time, we will have at least 50% chance of winning!"

Hearing this, Wanyan Wu Shuya finally smiled: "If this is the case, then we can retreat... I will send another team of envoys to the Xia Dynasty and ask the Emperor of Daxia to grant the feudal title, and at least ten years of development."

Wanyan Agu nodded with a smile.

This transformation is not easy for Wanyan Aguda, but in the face of the achievements of the Daxia army, he has to accept it even if he doesn't agree. He is a real military genius, so he can understand the strength hidden behind the literal form. The more he is, the more he can feel the oppression brought by the Daxia army.

So from his arrogance at the beginning to his prudence now, this change is actually very embarrassing and painful for him.

But in the face of facts, it is not something that the boy's will can cover up.

So he was cowardly.

The next day, the envoys of the Jurchen tribe set off. Looking at the group of messengers who were leaving, Wanyan Aguda let out a deep breath.

Alas, I'm still very unwilling to give up.

...

The temperature difference between grasslands in summer is very large, and it is cold at night, but it is so sunny during the day.

At noon that day, the sun was shining white, and Wanyan Aguda lay in a silence in the shade. For him, making such a decision was no less than betrayal to his always-off belief, so he was not energetic these days.

The sound of horse hooves came from a distance. When Wanyan Aguda heard this sound, he knew something was wrong. He quickly got on the horse and ran to Wanyan Wu Shuya's residence. When he got off the horse, he heard his brother's roar: "How dare he? How dare he!"

Wanyan Aguda rushed in and asked, "What happened?"

Wanyan Wu Shuya looked angry, but there was fear in her anger. When she saw Wanyan Aguda, she seemed to see the last life-saving straw. She grabbed Wanyan Aguda's shoulder and shook it, and said loudly: "Ouyang Bian has sent troops, he is coming to beat us! He is coming to beat us!"

Speaking of the latter sentence, Wanyan Wu Shuya's voice was already crying.

Wanyan Aguda trembled in his heart: "Have you really been called? How many soldiers are there? Where have they been?"

The informant quickly replied: "The Xia army is almost here to arrive in Yikunzhou, with an estimated 100,000 troops."

Wanyan Aguda was shocked: "When you arrive in Yikunzhou, wouldn't you cross the Huanghe River and arrive at Linhuang Mansion? What's going on? Why is no one there to set up defenses..."

Speaking of this, Wanyan Aguda didn't say anything, because Yikunzhou was originally under the actual control of the Daxia Dynasty, and the Xia army was in Dading Prefecture, and the actual control scope had reached Yikunzhou.

When the Jurchens attacked the Liao Dynasty, they were afraid of angering Daxia, so they did not dare to send troops to deploy defenses. They thought that they would solve this matter after stability, so as not to arouse hostility from the Daxia Dynasty. However, they did not expect that the Xia Dynasty would attack so simply and neatly!

What to do now!

Wanyan Agu's brain turned quickly.

No, the Xia Dynasty could not have only one army!

From the information he has seen, the Xia army has always had three main attacks, auxiliary attacks and back-range troops. The troops from Dading Mansion are probably only on the left or middle roads... Oops!

Wanyan Aguda shouted: "Have you ever inquired about other directions? What's the situation in Tongzhou?"

After being reminded by Agu, Wu Shuya immediately reacted: "Yes, the Xia army also has troops stationed in Liaoyang Prefecture. If Tongzhou is cut off, our army will be cut off in two pieces, and then something will be a big deal!"

But I heard another sound of horse hooves outside, and someone rolled and crawled in, and shouted as soon as I came in: "No, the Xia army has occupied Tongzhou!"

Wu Shuya's eyes turned dark, she was really afraid of anything she was going to.

...

Tongzhou City.

The Tongzhou city wall was bombed beyond recognition, but it was being repaired quickly. Wu Xiancai and Huo Boyu patrolled the city wall side by side.

"Your Majesty's strategic vision is really the best in the world. When he attacked the Liao Kingdom, everyone thought it would be enough to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but Your Majesty supported Wang Shuai to take down the Dading Prefecture and even asked Di Xiang to capture the Liaoyang Prefecture. At that time, everyone thought that the defense line was too wide, so it would be better to defend the Great Wall. Now it seems that these two moves are really a stroke of magic.

After occupying Dading Prefecture, our sword was under the armpit of Linhuang Prefecture, and occupied Liaoyang Prefecture. When the troops came out, they divided the northeast into two. These two places were strategic places."

Huo Boyu smiled and said, "Wang Shuai, Shuai Di, Shuai Zhong, who doesn't admire His Majesty? Your idea is really too late."

Wu Xiancai also laughed: "This is a great opportunity. If we can break forward, we can cut off the Jurchen tribe's retreat. This great contribution will be ours."

Huo Boyu waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to do this. If you dare to do this, Wang Shuai must be anxious with you. This time we will be trying to beat the rabbit. If we kill these savages here, what reason should we find on the stick?"

Wu Xiancai smiled.

...

Linhuang Mansion is in chaos.

The Jurchens, who had just lived a good life in the imperial city for a few days, had to rush out of the city to prepare for battle, but the discussion on whether to fight or escape was very intense.

"The army of Daxia is too strong, let's retreat. Tongzhou has been taken down. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"

"No matter how strong it is, the Liao army said, the Jurchens are only tens of thousands, and they are invincible. We are not just tens of thousands here. In addition to the Liao and Han army Bohai army, there are almost 100,000 troops. How can we lose by 100,000 to 100,000!

"The Liao army said? What they said is true to the trash of the Liao army. Wasn't the Liao army beaten to pieces by the Xia army?"

...

Wanyan Aguda's face turned gloomy. He could no longer hold it back when he heard this. He held the scimitar in his hand and stood up and shouted: "Don't say it!"

Everyone stopped talking.

Aguda looked at Wu Shuya and said, "Brother, this battle must be fought. If this battle is not fought, our morale will be gone and the tribe may disperse in an instant.

As for being able to win... At that time, we thought it was very strong when we looked at the Liao army, but are the women of the Liao Kingdom differently happy under our crotch now?

This battle must be fought. If you lose, we will go back and wait for the opportunity. If you win, we will go south to the colorful world, with countless gold, silver and treasures, and all kinds of watery and tender girls!”

When Aguda said this, the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly came from many people's throats.

Wu Shuya looked at Aguda, then looked at the heads of the tribes who had already shown a greedy look, nodded and said, "Then prepare. If you lose this battle, you will stay in your hometown in Northeast China. Isn't it just to catch fish and hunt? We can live such a life!"

Everyone suddenly became excited and howled.

Since they decided to fight, they had to use their best fighting style. The Jurchens were good at field battles and would not put the battlefield on the guarding city. Moreover, they also knew that there was gunpowder in Daxia and the city was not an obstacle for them. It would be better to go out and fight a good battle.

And...who did the Jurchens fear in field battles?

...

During this Northern Expedition, Wang Shao took charge. The army on the right was led by Di Xiang, Huo Boyu in the middle, and Wang Shao personally led the army on the left, set out from Dading Prefecture and rushed straight to Linhuang Prefecture.

Before crossing the Huanghe River, everything went smoothly, but after crossing the Huanghe River, I encountered the Jurchen blocking him.

Wang Shao was a literati who led the army. He could also go on the battlefield personally when he was young and was good at strategy. But now he is old, he just wants to take charge of the central army and does not use cleverness to lead the army to fight, but uses big strategies. For example, now, Wang Shao is generous in pushing over with his troops.

Of course, it is mainly due to strength.

The Daxia army established a very good habit from the beginning, which was to pay attention to the collection of intelligence information. This time, a large number of reconnaissance cavalry spread out in groups of three or five, dozens of miles to collect information from the opponent's large corps, but there was also a mutual strangle between the scouts.

For the Daxia army, the scouts are special forces and one of the most powerful troops in the army. Of course, the Jurchens are also quite powerful, much stronger than the Liao army's repellings.

Therefore, the army had not yet contacted, and the strangulation among the scouts began bloody and cruelly.

However, this kind of showdown is not fair, because the scouts of the Daxia army were almost armed to their teeth, and the swords and guns created through the steelmaking method in later generations were stronger and sharper, while the body was covered with a mixed armor made of iron armor and cotton armor. It was both light and puncture-resistant, which brought about obvious advantages.

In this case, the quality of the soldiers is tested. The Jurchen cavalry is indeed first-class, but the Xia army's scouts were also selected from thousands of miles away, and they were more well-trained.

The gap is accumulated bit by bit from all aspects, including equipment, horses, training, food, morale, etc. Xia Jun won all aspects, and only won a few of them, and the accumulated advantages are quite large.

This gap reflects a cruel and overwhelming victory in the real battle. The Jurchen scout was oppressed little by little. In the next few days, the scout had been oppressed by more than ten miles into Linhuang Mansion, and the Daxia army also advanced into Linhuang Mansion.

So the battle between the large corps began.

The Jurchens still used the nomadic fighting style and began to cruise, attack, and lure battle with cavalry, but Wang Shao ignored it. No matter where you came from, I just went all the way and advanced all the way to Linhuang Mansion.

Only then did Wanyan Aguda truly feel the power of the Daxia army.

During the confrontation, the Daxia army advanced and retreated in moderation, and everything seemed unhurried. Even if the infantry faced the cavalry, if the cavalry attacked, the Daxia army would have several rounds of counterattacks. First, a round of crossbows, then a round of strong bows, and then a round of hand crossbows. When it comes to the short handover, the long spear formation will deal with the already sparse cavalry formation, causing heavy losses to the Jurchen cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry on the flanks began to charge and chase, killing the remaining cavalry. Agu defeated them to set up a trick to annihilate the Xia army's cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of the Xia army's cavalry was much stronger than that of them.

Not only is the horse strong, but even the cavalry are much stronger. The key is that the cooperation between the Xia cavalry is the best he has ever seen. The cooperation between each other shows how strict the training is on weekdays.

If this is the case, it would be fine. What he didn't expect was that these cavalry were much stronger than their Jurchens. In comparison, the Jurchen cavalry tactics seemed too rough and primitive.

Only then did Aguda realize that the talents in the Central Plains cannot play with cavalry, the talents in the Central Plains are the ancestors of cavalry, or in other words, people like the Central Plains are truly good at fighting!

Aguda knew that this war could not be fought anymore, and if he continued, the Jurchens would be gone, and the Daxia Dynasty could also afford it.

The Jurchen army quickly abandoned Linhuang, helping the elderly and young, and going wherever they come from.

Wang Shao was not in a hurry. He hung behind both sides, and from time to time he would harass him. He would seize the opportunity and take a bite.

In this way, when the Jurchens escaped to Huanglong Mansion, there were only more than 50,000 Jurchen elites left. Wu Shuya couldn't help but collapse and burst into tears. In the case of mental collapse, the strong man could not afford to get sick and died in a few days.

The Jurchens quickly recommended Aguda as the leader. Aguda had just ascended to the position of leader, but found the reason that the Xia army occupied Yueliji and planned to encircle the Jurchens in a pincer shape.
Chapter completed!
