Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 198 To capture Lintao Mansion, will the Jin army come?
  "It's time, father-in-law, you send someone to shout to the soldiers upstairs, kill your generals, and don't kill them until they surrender after leaving the city." Zhang Yong said.

The psychological defense of the soldiers in the city should have collapsed. The double blow of gasoline and explosives was too powerful.

In fact, [-]% of the Jin army was Han Chinese, and only about [-]% were Jurchens. These Jurchens generally served as commanders or supervisors, some of them formed elite cavalry, and most of the ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level were It is composed of Han people.

The total number of Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom has indeed grown a lot in the more than a hundred years since they dominated the Central Plains.

But even so, the total number of people in the entire nation now totals only more than three million, which is actually about the same as the Xixia people.

There are not many Han people in Xixia, but there are more than [-] million Han people in the Central Plains.

No matter how much you don't believe in the Han people, there are still a large number of Han people in the Jurchen army, and there are also a small number of Khitan people.

This group of people is a point that can be exploited.

They will not die for the Jin Kingdom. If the more than [-] million Han people die for the Jin Kingdom, then Mongolia will not be able to invade.

"Okay! Now let the soldiers start shouting." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

He also saw what Zhang Yong wanted to do. There were a large number of Han officers and soldiers in the Jin army, and these Han officers and soldiers were sometimes the fastest to surrender.

Because the Han people themselves had a feud with the Jurchens, the Mongols were able to encroach on the entire north thanks to the help of these Han people.

Soon Wokuotai's order was conveyed to the entire army.

The Mongolian Han soldiers raised their voices and began to shout at the tower. These Han soldiers were the personal guards brought by Zhang Yong, and they numbered about two hundred people.

During this period, in addition to recruiting [-] Han people as soldiers, he also formed his own personal guard.

"Listen to the brothers of the Han family upstairs, don't sacrifice your lives for the people of the Jin Kingdom. The people of the Jin Kingdom treat us, the Han family's descendants, as no human beings."

"The Jurchens have oppressed us for more than a hundred years, do you still want to follow them?"

"The Mongols only collect taxes when they come and don't live here. We Han people take care of ourselves."

"Don't be fooled by them. Kill all your officials, and then surrender in Kaicheng."

"Kaicheng surrenders without killing! We have God's blessing and we are invincible. Why don't you surrender?"

Zhang Yong's Guards soldiers began to shout at the top of their lungs. After several hours and gasoline attacks, the psychological defense line of the soldiers on the tower had reached a low point.

Hearing this, everyone was a little excited. After several hours of charging, the battery of the drone had reached 70%. Zhang Yong did not fully charge the battery and raised the drone to the city wall again. Above, the shouting began.

"I only kill Jurchens, I only kill Jin people, I am also Han, and I am from the Han Dynasty.

Three years after entering the cave of the God by mistake, the world has gone through a thousand years of vicissitudes. When he came out, he brought the God's magic weapon with him.

The destiny is mine. If you don't surrender today, you will be punished. "

A magical weapon that flies in the sky, can speak divine words, and has fire that cannot be extinguished even if water is poured out, plus some of Zhang Yong's previous rumors.

Not to mention some Han soldiers, even some Jurchen soldiers began to waver. Could it be that this person was really destined to die? Are we really going against God?
  "The Jurchens have been in control of the Central Plains for a hundred years, and now their strength is exhausted!" Zhang Yong controlled the drone to fly in the sky, turned on the loudspeaker and shouted loudly.

If they were simply persuaded to surrender, these soldiers might not rebel, but with the myth of destiny and various factors combined, the situation would be different.

"You guys, what do you think? We Jurchens have been in control of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, have we ever been kind to you?
  Your military pay is all paid by us. "A Jurchen supervisor said with a trembling voice after looking at the hundreds of Han soldiers surrounding him.

"Our military pay has not been paid for several months."

"When you eat, you Jurchens have wine and meat every day, but we have nothing."

"In the past hundred years, you have taken away our land and oppressed us in every way."

"Bah, you guys who supervise the battle team have killed more of our own people than the enemy over the years."

"Kill him! I will spare your life." Zhang Yong, who was controlling the drone, happened to see this scene, lowered the drone slightly, and said.

Zhang Yong's words were like a magic spell. These Han sergeants could no longer endure it.

Hundreds of Han soldiers held knives and chopped down the Jurchen supervisors to the ground, imitating the same pattern.

A large number of Han soldiers began to follow suit, facing their own opponents, Jurchen officers or members of the war team.

"Alas! The morale of the army has been lost." The guard of Lintao Mansion sighed helplessly and tightened the knife in his hand.

"General, general, what should we do now? What should we do?" the deputy general said in a panic.

"Master Wanyan, actually I am also Han Chinese, and my surname is Li."

"You! You actually want to steal from the Mongols? You, you were given the surname Wanyan. Are you our Jurchen?" The deputy general was immediately shocked and looked at his commander in disbelief.

Is there any mistake? Your general actually wanted to be the first to surrender, and even said that you are Han, but you have been given the surname Wanyan by the emperor!

And if nothing else, don’t you know how to thank the Emperor for his kindness? Your Majesty has given you sole power!
  "The Jin Kingdom has indeed run out of energy. It lost most of its original capital, and now it actually went to Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty as its capital." General Li sneered and pierced his deputy general's chest with a knife.

Now that the Jin Kingdom is destined to perish, I will naturally not stay on this ship. If the Jin Kingdom becomes strong, I will naturally be willing to take Wanyan's surname and serve as a general.

This was the first day of the attack, and the methods used by the Mongols were already beyond his ability to withstand. And what was different from the past was that this time the Mongols did not send envoys into the city to persuade them to surrender.

"Master Artifact, I have already surrendered. I hope you will inform me. Your master said that I am willing to surrender in Kaicheng." After killing his adjutant, General Li looked at the drone in the sky and said said.

In his understanding, this talking flying artifact is a living being.

"I heard it and saw it. Now lead your troops to kill all the Jurchens on the city tower, and then open the car door. All of you will be fine." Zhang Yong controlled the drone and said.

"Okay! Brothers, I have already negotiated with the Mongols. Children of the Han family, please kill all the Jurchens." The guard of Lintao Mansion actually took the lead in surrendering and extended his butcher knife to He killed the Jurchens in the city.

Under his leadership, a large number of Han soldiers began to fight back against the sparse Jurchen soldiers.

"Haha, they started fighting on their own, Zhang Yong, let's order the siege now!" Cheap, father-in-law Wo Kuotai shouted excitedly from the side.

This battle was going so smoothly. It was only the first day and they had just arrived!

"Don't worry! My father-in-law, the general guarding the city, has agreed to surrender. After he clears the Jurchens on the wall, he can open the city wisely and we can reduce some casualties. We can capture it without spending a single soldier. This city." Zhang Yong said unhurriedly, while the drone kept hovering above the Han general's head.

"Okay! Let's wait first. Should I stop the trebuchet bombing?"

"No no! Keep bombing, father-in-law, have you seen my flying artifact? After a while, you will have dozens of catapults aiming at that place at the same time. I will give you instructions on a position. Throw explosive packets there and take the surrendered gold. The national guard will be blown up to death." Zhang Yong said.

"??? He, didn't he surrender? And he was the leader, why did you want to kill him?" Wo Kuotai asked.

He didn't understand Zhang Yong's approach. This man had already surrendered.

According to their Mongolian style, they should be rewarded. Why did Zhang Yong want to kill the opponent instead?
  "This city will be mine in the future, and his prestige among these Han soldiers is too high, so let's let him die in an accident!" Zhang Yong said.

He controlled the drone and heard the conversation clearly on the city tower just now.

The Kingdom of Jin was very kind to this Han General Li, but this guy surrendered as soon as he said he would.

If you can surrender to me today, then you can also surrender to the Southern Song people when they send people to attack tomorrow.

Moreover, your prestige in the army is very high, and all Han soldiers will follow you. Then you yell loudly, brothers, the Mongols are not worthy of trust, Zhang Yong is a lackey of the Mongols, come and kill him!

then what do I do? I can't completely control this city as long as you are here, so please die!

But he couldn't kill someone openly, so it was best to let him die in an accident.

Anyway, almost all the Jurchens on the city tower have been killed. If the general dies, the remaining people will open the city gate.

"Father-in-law, this man will never surrender to us sincerely. It would be best to kill him, just create an accident." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay! You are right, then we will kill this person." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

Soon all the Jurchens on the tower were killed. The guard, General Li, took a few breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When he was about to call his soldiers to open the city gate and surrender to the Mongols, a dozen explosive bags flew over inexplicably and exploded around him.

Without even having time to react, General Li was blown to pieces, and the sergeants who received his order below had already opened the city gate and put Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai's army into the city.

At noon, the Mongolian army led by Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong entered the city and began to massacre some remaining resisters.

The surrendered Han soldiers and the Han people in the city were treated kindly. As for General Li, who was the first to surrender in Kaicheng and was killed by an accidental bombing, Zhang Yong also ordered someone to prepare a tomb for burial. In the southwest of this city.

That night, Wokuotai and Zhang Yong moved into the city lord's mansion, and all resistance forces had been completely eliminated.

"Master Military Advisor, I, Master Kuotai, have calculated that there are a total of [-] residents in this city, of which more than [-] are Jurchens. As for the defenders, there are more than [-] people in total, of which more than [-] are They were Jurchens. More than [-] people were killed and hundreds more were captured.

The remaining more than [-] civilians were all recruited temporarily. "Two Mongolian Qianhu came in, knelt in front of Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai, and said.

"Well! Gather all the Jurchen people together and order all the Han people to stay at home during this period and not go out. Also order the entire army that the people in this city need to be treated kindly and no one is allowed to burn, kill or loot." Kuotai said.

The head of Qianhu nodded and began to go out to make arrangements. At this time, only Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai were left in the room.

"Haha, Zhang Yong, your plan is very sharp! In just one day, we have already captured Lintao Mansion." Wo Kuotai said.

The first battle went so smoothly, which greatly increased his confidence.

"The reason why we were able to win the gasoline this time, and the intelligence surveillance of Feitian Artifact, played a vital role. Otherwise, we would not have won so easily. The news of the fall of this city should not be known for another half month. It will spread throughout the Jin Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Jin will definitely not sit back and watch. If Lintao Mansion is lost, they will send a large army to attack. We must be prepared to annihilate a Jurchen army. "Zhang Yong said.

There are more than [-] surrendered soldiers in the city. These [-] surrendered soldiers can also be incorporated into the Mongolian army. Now their total strength has reached more than [-].

"Zhang Yong, I want to move these [-] Jurchens to the land of Xiliao and let them mine mines for me. What do you think?" Wo Kuotai said.

"Father-in-law, you are happy, but these Jurchens are feuding with you Mongolians, so you cannot treat them like ordinary people.

You have to reduce them all to slavery. "Zhang Yong said.

After all, the Kingdom of Jin has not been completely destroyed, and these Jurchens still retain a sense of luck. If you treat them well, they will rebel, so being directly demoted to slaves is the best option.

"Yes! I understand, don't worry, Xixia and the local Uighur people are all my people.

But this group of Jurchens are all slaves. When my army commander returns to the court, I will take them with me. "Wokuotai said.

"Father-in-law, plus the [-] people in my territory, your army returning to Xiliao this time will total more than [-] people. You must be prepared!" Zhang Yong said.

"Don't worry, isn't it just a matter of food? All the tax and food collected near Lintao Prefecture have not yet been sent to the mainland of Jin!
  I have sent people to count it, and there are a hundred thousand stone grains. I will leave [-] for you, and I will take all the remaining [-]. "Wokuotai said.

In fact, the distance between Xixia and Xiliao is not too far. They can only walk for a month at most. With some cattle and sheep, the food problem can be solved.

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly when he heard this. Fortunately, the people here don't have to take care of their own food. The twenty thousand shi of food and grass is just enough for the defenders to eat until next autumn harvest.

This father-in-law calculated quite accurately.

"We fought well in this battle and won very well. Zhang Yong, how do you think we will fight the next battle? Where should we attack next?" Wo Kuotai asked.

Lintao Prefecture has been defeated. If we attack further to the east, we can break into Fengxiang Prefecture, or go south into Hanzhong and enter the Sichuan-Sichuan region.

However, this time the strategic target is the Jin Kingdom, so there will be no war with the Song Dynasty for the time being.

The next step should be to encircle and control Fengxiangfu, or to defeat Liangfu, Qingyangfu, Yan'anfu and other places.

"Father-in-law! If you listen to my opinion, don't march forward any more. We only need to wait for the arrival of the Jin army, and then we can march eastward after repelling this Jin army."

Zhang Yong said.

Lintao Mansion is located on a plateau. It is condescending to the people below. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

They are well equipped now, so it is best to engage in defensive counterattacks. If they attack Fengxiang Mansion at this time, they will enter the Guanzhong Basin.

This area is not suitable for Mongolian cavalry operations. The Mongols have attacked here several times in history.

They were all defeated by famous Jin generals such as Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen. The famous Battle of Huihui Valley took place here.

"What! You mean if we don't fight eastward, we will stop here." Wo Kuotai asked in disbelief.

Is there any mistake, we have just won a big victory! Shouldn't we take this opportunity to quickly attack Guanzhong?

"Father-in-law, Lintao Mansion is an important place. It is an important military town for the Jin Kingdom to defend the northwest. The people of the Jin Kingdom will not sit back and let this place be lost. They will definitely send troops to fight for it.

If we want to annihilate this effective force of the Jin Kingdom, the best way is to wait for work and stay here until they enter this place.

Your cavalry can go out of the city to attack them at any time and harass them in all aspects. It can be said that you have the right time and place.

After we annihilate the Jin army, your achievements will be even higher.

By then, the defense forces in Fengxiang Mansion and even Jingzhao Mansion will be empty, and there will be news of our great victory.

It will also deter these two places. At some point, these two places may surrender without a fight. "Zhang Yong explained.

This was the best option at the moment, as there was nothing to be gained by continuing to head east at this point.

"The Jin army is different from our Mongolian army. We are good at fighting in winter and autumn.

But they are good at fighting in summer and spring, and will not send troops to fight in winter.

What if the Kingdom of Jin doesn’t send an army? Shall we only capture this one city? "Wokuotai said.

According to his estimation, the Jin people would probably send troops to attack in the beginning of spring. Winter is really not a good time to send troops.

"Father-in-law, we have completed the strategic goal of the Great Khan. As long as we gather here to defend this place, we will be able to attack the Kingdom of Jin on three fronts.

It would be strange if the Jin army did not come to fight for it!

The Jin people will definitely fight. Even in winter, the Jin people will send a large army. The Jin people cannot afford to lose here. "Zhang Yong said very confidently.

The geographical advantage of Lintao Prefecture is really great.
