Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

To be honest, there is no shame in losing to the famous Zhongxiao Army in history.

But at this time, the Zhongxiao Army was still a little-known force that had just been formed. It had not yet won several world-famous battles, and had defeated several famous Mongolian generals in a row.

But it is obvious that Zhang Yong's rhetoric cannot relieve Wokuotai's anger.

Guyu was beaten until he was lying on the ground. He didn't dare to say a word. He could only grit his teeth and bear Wokuotai's anger.

"You've lost all my people, you've lost all the people in Mongolia, you loser, why don't you die? What are you doing here?"

"Lord Wokuotai! I fought against the leader of the Jin Kingdom. The opponent is very strong and powerful. Moreover, they have strict military discipline and well-equipped equipment.

There was no shame in losing to them, and it was difficult to annihilate this army. Even I was not sure of victory, so I withdrew with my men. "Chahan said from the side.

There was no way, he couldn't guarantee victory in this situation.

"Father-in-law! Our military progress has been too smooth during this period, which has led you to underestimate the Jin Kingdom's army. The Jin Kingdom's army has never been weak." Zhang Yong said.

Come on, Mongolia in this era is indeed very strong and can be said to be invincible in the world, but it is not impossible that there are those who can fight the Mongolian army head-on. The one who can fight Mongolia head-on is the Kingdom of Jin.

To be honest, if the Jin Kingdom hadn't stood between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, the Southern Song Dynasty would have perished decades earlier.

"Hmph! Get out of the way. If it weren't for the fact that you are my son, I would have killed you right now." Wo Kuotai finally kicked Guiyou hard and said.

After all, he is his biological son, and I, Kuotai, can't bear to kill him, so I'll just give him a beating. Moreover, the loss of more than a thousand people was not too serious. With his previous achievements in capturing Lintao Mansion, Father Khan would not say anything.

Moreover, I also learned about the battle situation in detail this time. This army is indeed an iron army with no discipline, well-equipped and well-trained. It is extraordinary that its own military pay is three times that of other ordinary soldiers.

"Father! I'm sorry for you, kid." He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Wokuotai, wiped away his tears, stood up and left the room.

"Alas! Zhang Yong, I really should listen to you. I really shouldn't. If I don't send this boy out, it won't lead to his defeat. How do you think I should explain this matter to my father? Huh?" Wo Kuotai sighed, looked at Zhang Yong, and asked.

"Father-in-law! The best way to explain is to annihilate this enemy army and annihilate these [-] living troops of the Jin Kingdom." Zhang Yong said.

To be honest, I have made huge changes to the original history. At least the Mongols returned from the Western Expedition more than two years in advance.

Genghis Khan destroyed Xixia two years in advance, escaping his original sure-kill situation, and now it seems that the Jin Kingdom will also be destroyed in advance.

If he really succeeded in annihilating this [-]-strong Jin army, there would basically be no decent resistance in Fengxiang Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, or even all the way to Tongguan.

After taking advantage of the situation to take over the entire Guanzhong, the Jin Kingdom had lost most of its country, and only the areas around Henan and Shandong were left.

It was not too difficult for Genghis Khan to destroy such a broken Jin Kingdom.

"Well! I won't tell Father Khan about this. After we completely annihilate these [-] people and win a beautiful victory, I will write to Father Khan again." Ogedai said.

If Genghis Khan knew about this now, the Mongolian Khan who had just returned to the grassland would definitely be furious. Guyu, whom he had been relatively optimistic about before, would also be disliked by Genghis Khan.

This is something Wokuotai doesn't want to see.

"Father-in-law! Marching in winter is extremely difficult, and it is very difficult to supply food and grass on the road. When the Jin army arrives, they will definitely launch a fierce attack on us.

We just need to hold on. During this period, we are making some explosives. When we are defending the city, we can let the soldiers light them and throw them out to blast the Jin people. Gasoline can also be used.

Pour the gasoline directly onto the Jin Kingdom siege soldiers, and then ignite a rocket to burn them to death.

After spending a month with them to make it difficult for them to supply food and grass, we will dispatch the entire army to annihilate them all. "Zhang Yong said.

The war with the armies in the Central Plains is about the consumption of food and grass. Whoever cannot hold on first will lose. Anyway, the food and grass here will be eaten until the next autumn harvest, but it is different for the people of Jin.

"Okay! We will fight Zhang Yong as you said." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

In the next period of time, Wokuotai not only sent a large number of scouts and detectives to detect the enemy's intelligence.

All the Mongolian armies were huddled in the city. Since there was enough food and grass here, they didn't worry about running out of food.

And the snow outside the city has been getting heavier and heavier.

More than twenty days later, the Jin army of more than [-] people belatedly arrived and gathered under Lintao Mansion.

In the military camp, all the generals of the Jin Kingdom gathered together.

"General Wanyan, how are we going to fight this battle?" a Jurchen general asked.

"This battle is related to the national destiny of our Kingdom of Jin. We can only win, not lose. We must capture this place within two months." Wanyan Heda said.

It was said that it was two months, but in fact, he only had more than one month's food. He brought a total of sixty days of food and grass for this expedition. He only traveled for a month during the march and consumed half of the food and grass.

After one month, if the food and grass cannot arrive, then they will not be able to fight at all. They said it will be two months, just to boost morale.

This time, no matter how much the price is paid, even if all [-] people are killed, the city must be captured.

They really can't afford it. The Jin Kingdom is only allowed to win this time and not lose. If they are defeated, the Jin Kingdom can be said to be over. At least a third of the army will be lost here.

Now the total strength of the Jin Kingdom is only about [-]. These more than [-] people are the last hope of the Jin Kingdom, because the territory of the Jin Kingdom is getting smaller and smaller, and recruiting soldiers is becoming more and more difficult.

"Sir! We have traveled a long way here. It is still winter and there is heavy snow outside. Under such circumstances!
  We cannot attack the city rashly, we should besiege the city. It makes sense to cut off the Mongols' logistical supply lines and besiege Lintao Prefecture. "A general said.

"There are [-] Mongolians. Even if they can really fight [-] Mongolian soldiers, our numbers will only have a slight advantage. If we want to besiege them, we probably won't be able to do it." A Han general said.

"Do you mean to attack by force? How can we attack by force in this weather? The soldiers are all shivering from the cold, and winter is the Mongols' favorite. They are good at fighting in winter." The Jurchen general said.

"Don't say anything, I have made up my mind, and we will start the full-scale project tomorrow.

According to my military order, we will camp and rest tonight, cook at five o'clock tomorrow, and start attacking the city at dawn. "Wanyan Heda said.

After the generals dispersed, Monk Wanyan Chen came to Wanyuan Heda, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Sir! Our members of the Zhongxiao Army have a blood feud with the Mongols. Tomorrow we are willing to be a death squad and climb the city wall first." Monk Wanyan Chen said.

"Well! Good man, we need people like you now. I will allocate another 1000 troops to you. Tomorrow you will take them and Zhong Xiaojun to attack the city. If you can capture a tower, as long as you hold the position, my The army can support you at will." Wanyan Heda nodded and said.

The previous battle between the vanguard army and the Mongolian army greatly boosted the morale of the Jin people. After all, they have not even won a small-scale victory in their battle with Mongolia.

Under the current circumstances, persuading surrender or other strategies will not work at all on the enemy.

After Monk Wanyan Chen left, a soldier ran in and reported to Wanyan Heda the situation of the army's encampment.

"I understand, let everyone have a good rest tonight, and! Order all officers and soldiers to be careful about a strange black bird that can fly in the sky.

At night, it will shine red and green. If you see it, use the crossbow we brought to ambush it in the dark and shoot it. "Wanyan Heda thought for a while and then said.

After these few battles, this legendary Han Dynasty man's flying artifact was rumored to be magical.

It has simply reached an unbelievable state, and it is said that it can even speak people's words. This time, the reason why Lintao Mansion was defeated was largely because this flying artifact disrupted their military morale. "Sir! When my subordinates know this, they immediately send an order to Chen Jun. And let the crossbowmen lay in ambush." ​​The messenger nodded and immediately ran down to spread Wanyan Heda's orders everywhere.

All night long. Hundreds of Jin soldiers didn't close their eyes and kept staring at the sky, looking for the black flying artifact that was extremely likely to appear.

Zhang Yong's flying artifact was lying quietly in his storage box at this time. After all, it was snowing outside.

When the weather is cold, the flying ability and endurance of drones are problematic. In such heavy snowy weather, drones cannot take off at all.

However, Zhang Yong is not without other investigation methods. His drone is also equipped with a high-definition telescope.

This high-definition telescope also has a night vision function. If you watch it from the tower, you can know the situation of the Jin Kingdom Camp very well, but you can't take it out yourself.

However, Zhang Yong didn't care too much about some of the situations in the Jin camp. After all, [-] people came to attack a city with [-] defenders and sufficient food and grass. Unless the soldiers on your side mutiny, there is basically no possibility of victory.

A night of silence. Early the next morning, the Jin army was already lined up and standing under Lintao Mansion.

There wasn’t that much foreplay, such as shouting out words between the two parties. After all, Mongolia and the Kingdom of Jin were feuding, and they would fight to the death when they met.

The thunderous war drums sounded, the trumpets were blown, and the siege officially began.

The huge catapult was set up by the Jin people and aimed at Lintao Mansion.

But to be honest, the Mongols are experts when it comes to catapults.

Whether it is actual combat experience or catapult craftsmen, or catapults and launchers, the Mongols have the upper hand.

The furthest attack distance of Jin's catapult is only [-] steps, which is about [-] meters.

The Mongolian catapult is the most advanced catapult built by a large number of craftsmen from the Western Regions who were captured during the Western Expedition. The attack distance is about [-] meters, a full [-] steps.

Using trebuchets to smash the Mongolian city walls was actually just setting up live targets outside the city.

"Haha! Play with the trebuchet. Our trebuchet has been improved many times by craftsmen from the Western Regions."

"My father-in-law can have the trebuchet set up on the city wall, and then put the explosive charges on it.

Throw the trebuchet aimed at the Jin people, blow up their trebuchet directly, and destroy their engineering weapons. "Zhang Yong said.

"it is good!"

Wokuotai called a group of people and asked them to mount the trebuchet on the city wall and launch an attack on the Jin catapult that was carrying out the project.

At this time, the Jin people's catapults had just set up the Mongols' huge fluoroscopy machine. Throwing explosives and blowing up.

The explosive package fell next to the Jin people's trebuchet, and a violent explosion occurred instantly. The soldiers near the trebuchet and the entire trebuchet were blown to pieces.

During a siege, there will indeed be some protection for the trebuchets, but it is basically just wooden boards to protect the operator.

This kind of thing can protect against bows and arrows, flowing stones, and stone attacks from enemy catapults.

But this kind of wooden board cannot block the attack of explosive packets, not to mention that the strike distances of the two sides are not at the same level.

Zhang Yong didn't even bring out the unscrupulous cannons. If the unscrupulous cannons were mounted on the city tower to bombard the Jin people.

Then the attack distance may reach a terrifying three hundred meters, after all, it is condescending.

In just a few rounds, the Jin people's trebuchets were completely destroyed.

"Suicide Squad! Come on!" Wanyan Heda ordered. More than [-] members of the death squads, led by [-] loyal and filial soldiers, began to launch a brutal siege, carrying ladders.

Follow the wooden siege tower and advance slowly. This wooden engineering tower is a technology learned by the Jin people from the Mongols. The soldiers hide in the wooden tower vehicles. After reaching the enemy's city wall, the wooden tower vehicles are lowered. The soldiers would rush out and seize the tower.

Then a tall ladder will be erected directly. This is a triangular ladder with thick supports below, which cannot be pushed down from the city wall.

But the Jin people forgot one thing. These things are made of wood. Although they have some fireproofing treatments, they can prevent the burning of kerosene, but they cannot prevent the burning of gasoline.

"My father-in-law first blasted them with explosives. After they were severely damaged, he poured gasoline on them, and then asked the soldiers to light rockets and shoot them down. Then you are ready to see the Seventh Army set on fire!" Zhang Yong said.

Explosive packs are no longer needed. In this kind of city defense battle, gasoline can exert greater power.

This kind of engineering tower and engineering vehicle made of iron wood. It still has fire protection capabilities, but it can only protect against ordinary flames and is slightly resistant to burning. Once it encounters gasoline and ignites such a fierce fire, it will be haha.

"Hahaha! When they get closer and everyone is ready, bring the gasoline cans and pour them on me." I said.

soon. The siege troops of the Jin Kingdom entered the attack range. It was only twenty or thirty steps away from the city wall.

Under Zhang Yong's order, cans filled with gasoline were thrown out one by one, and then golden gasoline was poured on the wooden structures. On the Gongcheng Car, Gongcheng Tower, and on the ladder.

"General! This smells so strong! What did the Mongols throw?" a Zhongxiao Army soldier hiding in the siege tower asked.

At this moment, many people were sprinkled with gasoline, and an unpleasant and pungent smell spread into everyone's noses.

The soldiers of the Zhongxiao Army are the elite troops of the siege force. All of them were now wearing heavy armor, holding shields and scimitars, and transformed into heavy infantry.

What consumes the enemy is the ordinary soldiers who are driven down below. They are responsible for attracting the first wave of Mongolian attacks.

The lieutenant colonel and a group of elite troops were hiding in the siege tower, planning to attack the city wall directly. Capture the enemy's tower.

"No, this may be the enemy's. Fire oil, a very powerful fire oil developed by the Mongols, is golden yellow all over.

There is a pungent smell. This kind of fire oil ignites instantly and cannot be extinguished by water. After water is poured on it, the fire will become even stronger. "Monk Wanyan Chen's heart sank and he spoke.

"Here, what should we do? We can't pour water on it, so how can we put out the fire?"

"That's right, General, if it burns down, we won't even have the means to put out the fire, and we can only watch ourselves being burned to death."

"It's not that there are no ways to extinguish fire. As long as you don't use water to douse it, other methods of extinguishing fire are good. It can be slapping or using sand, but we don't have these things now.

Brothers, if the Mongols light fire on us, what will happen? All of you grit your teeth, and move towards a few Mongolian soldiers without hesitation. Anyway, where there are many people, you rush over to hug one.

Even if we, the Zhongxiao Army, die, we still have to support one person. Killing one will not make a loss, killing two will be enough, and killing three will make a profit. "Monk Wanyan Chen said.

They have no way to deal with this kind of flame, even if they know some fire extinguishing methods, they can't use it.

After all the construction towers, construction vehicles, and ladders were doused with gasoline, Zhang Yong ordered dozens of archers on the towers to fire rockets at the same time.

I have to say that after the advent of gasoline, it really changed a lot of combat styles. This thing was really a weapon of war in ancient times!
  It can burn violently, and ordinary fire extinguishing methods are useless. It will cause huge psychological and physical damage to the enemy.

The raging fire ignited, and the soldiers in the siege tower did not react at all. The flames had already begun to rage.

"Ah! Ah!" (End of chapter)
