Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 239 Tired of the enemy battle, let Tuo Lei die in the siege battle

"Father-in-law, just follow my plan tomorrow and bomb for two more days. Then we will send people in to persuade them to surrender, and then we will see the effect." Zhang Yong said.

We must attack the enemy physically, but we must not let them go psychologically. Envoys used to persuade them to surrender, which was more than simply persuading them to surrender. Mongolian envoys usually shouldered some other special missions.

"Okay, then we will bomb them for two more days, and then I will send an envoy into the city to ask about the situation first." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

Early the next morning, Wokuotai once again set up his position and launched an attack. It was the flying thunder cannons and cannons that took the lead, launching a volley of artillery fire, blowing up the Jin army on the city wall.

In the next two days, Wokuotai, along with all the Mongolian generals and Zhang Yong, stood under the city, doing nothing but attacking the top of the Jinguo city tower.

Every day when passing by the city tower, there would be screams, and a large number of soldiers were killed.

On the morning of the third day, Wokuotai arranged for a group of envoys to go to Tongguan to persuade them to surrender with a letter from the Great Khan!

However, the situation was a bit beyond Wokuotai and Zhang Yong's expectations. These envoys had just arrived at the city gate and had not started shouting.

The Jin people directly launched arrow shooting, shooting all the dozen envoys in this group into hedgehogs.

Since the war with the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia has not suffered any casualties, and the only casualties are the group of Mongolian envoys who were shot to death.

Therefore, it is indeed the most dangerous job in this era! Haven't seen anyone yet.

We didn’t even go up to the tower! People are gone.

"What a courage! I killed my envoy without even seeing him. The Jin people are going to fight us to the death!" When Wo Kuotai saw a group of his envoys being killed, his face immediately turned pale. He spoke.

"The killing of these envoys also provided us with some intelligence to a certain extent. The Tongguan guard should want to motivate the soldiers in the city through justice. Our bombing in the past three days has brought too much psychological pressure to them." Zhang Yong said.

The most important thing is that the Mongolian envoy was killed, and the morale of the whole army increased by one!

The Mongolian army has always liked to use this method to boost the morale of the army.

"Well! Then let's continue to implement your second plan!" Wo Kuotai said.

Zhang Yong nodded, and then went to tell the few Mongolian households who had been arranged how to fight the next battle.

"Master Military Advisor! Shall we attack by force now?" Several selected heads of Mongolian households came to Zhang Yong and asked excitedly.

These three consecutive days of bombing, coupled with the killing of the Mongolian envoy today. These Mongolian generals realized that the time to break the city was coming soon, and they were probably selected as the first troops to attack.

"No! Listen to me. Starting from tomorrow, you thousands of households will take your soldiers with you.

After getting my order, immediately carry the ladder and the charging chariot and rush to the gate of the Jin people, pretending to attack the city, but remember to only rush to a hundred steps, never more than fifty steps , return immediately when the time comes. "Zhang Yong said.

"Master Military Advisor, why is this? Now that the Jin people have been beaten to pieces by us, we only need to rush to the city tower and guard it for an hour or two. Then a large number of troops will rush to the city and close it. Take it." A Mongolian Qianhu said.

"But if we win this level in this way, we will kill at least five to six thousand people, or even more, so according to my method, you just need to obey the order." Zhang Yong said.

"It's your strategist. We all obey your orders." Although several Mongolian families wanted to really attack, Zhang Yong, the strategist, had already spoken, and they did not dare to complain.

On the fourth day of the siege of Tongguan, after the Mongolian envoy was killed, the attack did not stop, but a more ferocious bombardment was launched.

The roar of cannon, the explosion of explosive charges. It is constantly being staged on the city walls of the Jin people.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin on the city tower began to look for places to take shelter, but after all, they had never experienced explosive artillery fire drills. They did not know how to find shelter, nor did they know how to lie down. They did not know how to protect their heads and defend against shock waves. matter.

This also resulted in further casualties.

However, after being bombarded for three consecutive days, the Jin people learned their lesson and now did not dare to put too many soldiers on the city tower. They only placed about a thousand soldiers, hiding on the city wall, and then observing the Mongolian movements.

Anyway, after three days of fighting, the Mongols didn't come to attack the city, so they should hide for now!

After the first round of thunderbolt artillery salvos was completed, Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong immediately ordered an army of 5,000 people to launch a feint attack.

Led by several thousand families, a large number of Mongolian soldiers carried ladders and pushed carts and rushed to the Jin city gate. The drummers in the army also beat the war drums.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Kill! Kill!" Accompanied by bursts of shouts of killing, the Mongolian troops slowly approached the Jin people's city.

The Jin soldiers hiding on the tower also heard the sound of the war drums. After seeing the Mongols charging, they immediately beat the war drums upstairs risking their lives.

Notifying the troops below, the Mongols' formal siege began.

"Quickly, the Mongols have begun to attack the city. The Mongols have begun to attack the city. Bring up all the defensive equipment, rolling logs, fallen rocks, and arrows." Jin soldiers who were arranged to perform defense work on the tower.

When they saw the Mongolian army setting up ladders and pushing carts over, they quickly shouted and started calling the soldiers below the city.

"Quick, quick, everyone, move quickly. All prepared soldiers should go to the top of the city tower to defend. Stop hiding below." Jin Kingdom commander Wanyan Chenglin immediately urged several lieutenants to rush forward with a large number of troops. Got the tower.

Seeing a large number of Mongolian soldiers attacking from the opposite side, they immediately began to prepare defensive equipment, intending to give the Mongols a sharp blow when they attacked the city.

But when these Mongolian soldiers rushed to be a hundred steps away from the city gate, the sound of gold ringing suddenly sounded in the rear camp.

Then these Mongolian troops who rushed up immediately retreated with their things.

"What, what is going on? Mongols, how come the Mongols stopped fighting halfway?"

"General, what should we do?"

At this moment, a large number of Jin Kingdom's reserve troops rushed to the city tower.

Zhang Yong nodded to Wokuotai, and the second round of attacks began, this time with explosives fired from a trebuchet.

Before these preliminary defense teams could react, the explosive packs exploded around them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

bump!bump!

The deafening sound of explosions once again rang on the Jin people's city walls, and a large number of soldiers were once again thrown off their backs by the bombing.

This time, many reserve teams were pulled up, and these reserve teams immediately became key targets on the city tower.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Help! Help!" The soldiers on the tower began to shout and then ran around.

Suddenly, a serious stampede occurred among the dense crowd on the tower. Coupled with the attack from explosive packs, there were immediate heavy casualties.

"Oh no, General, this is a tactic used by the Mongols to tire out the enemy! They know we are hiding under the tower.

Only then did the bombardment stop, and then a short false attack was launched to trick our soldiers into climbing onto the tower, so as to eliminate our effective forces and defensive equipment. "A deputy general looked at the situation in front of him and said angrily.

Unexpectedly, the Mongols actually used this trick!

"Damn the Mongols! Quick, quick, quick, get all the reserves to withdraw, and move all the defensive equipment down.

Just leave a small number of soldiers on the tower to guard it! Let all the soldiers hide first. "Wanyan Chenglin said.

"It's the general!"

Under the organization of the Jin generals, these reserve soldiers were all withdrawn, and some of the city defense equipment that had just been moved up were also moved back down.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yong nodded and spoke to Wo Kuotai. :

"Great Khan! Now order the catapults to stop attacking, and then send out the feint attack troops again and let them rush towards the tower."

"Yes! The second reserve team is ready to join me." Wo Kuotai said.

Soon, a new siege force was organized, and then the war drums shook the sky again, and they rushed towards the Jinguo people's tower.

The second charge once again deceived the Jin army. There was no other way, and the Jin guard did not dare to gamble.

If the Mongols really attack the city and they don't come, it will be over.

Explosive packs and trebuchets destroyed another wave of Jin's troops, and also destroyed a wave of siege equipment. In the next few days, Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai used this style of play to consume the Jin people.

At the same time, Zhang Yong's drone also rose to a high altitude and observed the troops on the Jinguoren tower from a safe distance of four to five hundred meters.

"Father-in-law! I guess the time for the chief engineer is almost here." Zhang Yong said.

It has been about ten days since the siege of Tongguan. During this period, the only damage to the Mongolian army was that some soldiers were shot by Jin people's arrows while pretending to attack, and a bunch of Mongolian envoys were shot dead by Jin people.

In addition to this, they were basically in a state of zero casualties, and the fake attacks for several days did allow the Jin people to discover something.

Yesterday, Zhang Yong clearly felt that their defenders were no longer responding so quickly.

The Jin people have now developed an inertial thinking, that is, the Mongols only pretend to charge and will not actually attack the city.

Zhang Yong knew that the right time had arrived, and he had agreed to break through Tongguan within half a month. I would never exceed this time.

"My siege team is ready. There are several Mongolian households and that boy Tuo Lei leading a large army to attack. When the time comes, as long as you issue a formal general attack order, they will attack the Jin people's city wall." Wokuotai said.

"Father-in-law! My flying artifact will be watching from the sky. In the past few days, the reaction speed of Jin Guoren's city defense troops has been obviously much slower. When they went up to the city tower, they were not in a hurry, and sometimes they even did not move their bows, arrows and falling rocks. , go up with these defense equipment.

We chose this time for them to relax and seize the city gate quickly.

Then find a way to send more soldiers to the city tower. As long as they can open the Tongguan City Gate, the victory of this war will be determined. "Zhang Yong said.

After nearly ten days of indiscriminate bombing, Zhang Yong estimated that the number of casualties among the Jin army had reached an exaggerated level.

Because there is a herbal smell wandering throughout the city. This is brewing herbs for wounded soldiers. There is nothing we can do. There is no good way to deal with soldiers injured by explosives in this era.

Basically, just put some medicine on it and then you leave it to fate! During this period, the death toll of wounded soldiers in Tongguan should also be rising.

In the past few days, battle reports from the direction of Lintao Prefecture have also been transmitted. Zhang Yong really thought highly of the Southern Song Dynasty's army.

During this period, Subotai, with an army of 70,000, not only successfully blocked the 150,000 Southern Song army, but even caused the Southern Song army to suffer several defeats.

If Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai hadn't ordered them to defend the city and prevent Chu Chen from launching a pursuit, Subotai might have led the cavalry out and fought them head-on.

The two discussed the specific details of tomorrow's operation and the deployment of troops. When Zhang Yong was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Wo Kuotai.

"Zhang Yong! This is a good opportunity." Wo Kuotai said something meaningful.

"Father-in-law! What do you mean?" Zhang Yong asked.

What a good opportunity? Is it a good opportunity to seize the land of Sichuan and Shu, or is it a good opportunity to conquer Tongguan?

"This is a good opportunity to kill Tuo Lei! As the saying goes, swords have no eyes. Tomorrow I will arrange Tuo Lei to lead the vanguard to attack the city. By then, anything can happen on the battlefield. In case of a falling stone or an arrow If the arrow hits the drag mine, there is nothing we can do about it," Wo Kuotai said.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity to get rid of Tuo Lei, because Tuo Lei has been asking for a fight these days, so I, the Great Khan, will send you out to fight.

When fighting a siege, there will inevitably be some casualties. If you accidentally die there, there is nothing to say.

"Don't! Father-in-law, now is not the time." Zhang Yong said immediately.

Just kidding, Genghis Khan is not dead yet, and Ogedai you have just ascended to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.

If Tuo Lei was killed at this time, Genghis Khan would be furious. He had just lost his eldest son not long ago.

If his youngest son died in this war against the Kingdom of Jin, Genghis Khan would be furious.

It will definitely make Wo Kuotai massacre the city.

By then, a massacre will be inevitable in some areas where the Jin Kingdom is located. The population in this Central Plains area is extremely dense.

Once a large-scale killing spree begins, the number of casualties will not be hundreds of thousands, but millions.

Even the twenty cities that he and Ogedai agreed not to kill may not be guaranteed by Ogedai, because Genghis Khan in a rage would do very terrible things.

"I know what your kid is worried about. You are worried about my father Khan! Don't worry, my father Khan won't say anything when the Mongols die on the battlefield. He will only grieve for a period of time." Ogedai said.

"Father-in-law, you have just become the Great Khan of Mongolia. It is your first time to command a foreign war. You must win very well. If your brother dies in this battle, some things will not be easy to explain.

This will become a stain on your life, not to mention, according to the Mongolian system.

Even if Tuo Lei dies, his sons will inherit his military strength. His eldest son Meng Ge is already a teenager and can inherit his father's inheritance. "Zhang Yong said.

In fact, with a little effort, Wokuotai's plan is still feasible, but there will be countless Central Plains people who will be buried with Tuo Lei.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you want me to give up?" Wo Kuotai said.

"Father-in-law! You have just ascended to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia, and you want to consolidate your position through this foreign war.

If Genghis Khan pitifully dies of Tuo Lei, he will feel sorry for Tuo Lei's sons.

If you pass the military power to Tuo Lei's eldest son Meng Ge, or even allocate some pastoral and military power to the Tuo Lei family, then you will lose more than you gain. "Zhang Yong said.

Hearing what Zhang Yong said, Wo Kuotai also nodded. Father Khan could do anything under his grief.

At that time, because of the pity for Tuo Lei's descendants, it is possible that Tuo Lei's military power or even some military power will be distributed to the people of Tuo Lei family.

Tuo Lei is indeed a threat, but the real threat is the military power in Tuo Lei's hands. This is what Wokuotai is most worried about.

Don't let Tuo Lei get rid of him by then, but his four sons got up. That would be bad.

You have to think of a way to do this, and you can't let the military power fall into the hands of Tu Lei's children.

"You are right, let's put this matter aside for now! But after this war is over, we must find a way to get rid of him. I will feel uneasy until he dies." Wo Kuotai said.

"Father-in-law! Don't worry, I have thought of a foolproof strategy. As long as you endure it for a few more years, you will definitely die if you drag Lei." Zhang Yong said.

He has been thinking of ways to find an alibi for Wo Kuotai and create an accidental death for Tuo Lei.

"Zhang Yong, this is what I thought about Tuo Lei's military power after his death, saying that his children were young and his wife had no one to take care of him.

I will let Soluheteni remarry, the reason is to take care of their orphans and widows, and then I can naturally take over the military power. "Wokuotai said.

Let Tuo Lei's wife remarry! You don’t really want to let your son marry Tuo Lei’s wife like in history!

Father-in-law, have you ever cheated your own son like this?

That kid Guyu may not be twenty years old then. If you let him marry Tuo Lei's wife, Tuo Lei's wife will already be the mother of four children.

But what does it have to do with me? Just do whatever you want.

"Father-in-law, you are a prodigy now. Whatever you say will be what it is." Zhang Yong said.

I'm sorry that I have wronged you, but don't worry, Tuo Lei's wife is not willing to remarry. At most, your reputation will be damaged.

"Boy Zhang Yong, after Tuo Lei dies, I plan to let you marry Luhe Tini. You can just hand it over to me when you get the military power." Wo Kuotai smiled and looked at Zhang Yong and said.

What the hell!What the hell!What the hell!
