Qiming 1158

Chapter 437 I will soon send Wanyan Liang down to accompany you

Although the decision-making layer was unable to discuss the issue of going south with Wanyanliang, the decision-making layer and Wanyanliang did not look at the problem from the same angle.

They didn't have Wanyanliang's sense of urgency and anxiety about losing the throne and life. Even if they were defeated, as long as they could save their lives, they could still preserve their own glory and wealth.

So they are more sensible.

They are really worried about the safety of the rear, and they are really worried that the rear cannot withstand the devastation of the Restoration Army, which will trigger a terrible chain reaction and make the Jin Army lose its way of retreat.

If they got to this point, they would be screwed.

To tell the truth, Wanyanliang has been forcibly driven by Wanyanliang's identity and authority as the emperor's identity and authority. If Wanyanliang is a little loose, the ministers will strongly demand that Wanyanliang return north immediately.

Leaving Shandong, even if you just concentrate on attacking Hebei, you can take down a few cities, kill several generals of the Restoration Army, and earn military achievements and achievements.

Rather than a false [penetrating Hebei].

What kind of punch are you?

Has the main force of the Hebei Restoration Army been damaged?
Have those fortified cities been breached?

Did the Restoration Army inside surrender voluntarily or did they all die?
If not, what are your actual results?
They really have never fought such a battle.

Not one of the cities guarded by the enemy was taken down, and it went directly from Yanyun to Shandong!
If he were not the emperor, if a general dared to fight like this, he would have been sprayed to death by the ministers long ago.

However, he was the emperor, and he was at the top of the battle.

In Wanyanliang's eyes, there was only Su Yonglin standing in front of him, only Su Yonglin's main force, and if he defeated Su Yonglin's main force, everything would get better.

As long as he launches an attack and overturns Su Yonglin's main force, all problems will be solved!

Yes, as long as you defeat Su Yonglin's main force!
He continued to persuade himself in this way, to give himself relief.

He has no intention of wasting time on other useless cities.

So he sent troops to surround Yucheng again, bypassing Yucheng and continuing south.

Licheng was located on the south bank of the Beiqing River. There was a Qihe county seat on the north bank of the Beiqing River. General Wei Kexian of the Restoration Army was stationed here with [-] troops.

After encircling the two cities, he was ready to cross the frozen Beiqing River and attack Licheng directly.

The vanguard reported that Licheng was heavily fortified, and that Shangluokou Town, Fengji Town, and Wangsherendian Town around Licheng also had city walls and garrisoned troops. Licheng, for fear of being attacked by the enemy.

Wanyanliang sent people to see Su Yonglin's fortification in Licheng. The people who came back all looked solemn and told Wanyanliang that if they attacked hard, they might not be able to take Licheng even if they smashed the army here.

If the army wants to attack the main city of Licheng, the defenders of the other three towns must take care of it, and they must always guard against the defenders in the two cities of Yucheng and Qihe behind them.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a large number of troops to divide and surround it.

Su Yonglin's defenses were indeed too strict, he was like a curled up hedgehog, his thorns were full of fire, and it was painful to touch him.

Wanyanliang was in a hurry to get angry, and the oral ulcers became much worse. These days, she could only drink white porridge, and she could not eat anything. Eating food was as uncomfortable as killing him.

In a hurry, he had an idea and sent someone to deliver a set of women's clothes and a letter to Su Yonglin.

In the letter, he scolded Su Yonglin for being a shameless person who asked him to come to fight, but he didn't leave the city to fight.

This set of women's clothes was worn by his favorite concubine. If Su Yonglin is satisfied, he can wear it. Of course, if Su Yonglin has an idea, he can surrender in women's clothes. .

Good guy, Wanyanliang is not taboo?
Su Yonglin looked at Wanyanliang's handwritten letter and the messenger's playful expression, and suddenly had a lot of thoughts about Wanyanliang's private life.

"Is your emperor's taste so heavy? Men don't let it go?"

The messenger sneered.

"Your Majesty is rich in the world, the Lord of the world, you can do whatever you want, whether it's a man or a woman, Longyang's goodness has existed since ancient times, and it is quite elegant, why not? I wonder if General Su has such an idea?"

The generals around Su Yonglin were full of anger. There were many who had their swords unsheathed, and many who scolded the messenger. The messenger had a calm expression and was not worried.

Su Yonglin folded the letter, put it aside, looked at the women's dress, and found that it was a gorgeous palace dress, with both the elegance of the Central Plains and the wildness of the North. people who enjoy.

"Yes, this women's dress is still good, and the cost should not be cheap, why don't you wear it?"

Su Yonglin looked at the messenger with a smile.

The messenger was taken aback.

"what?"

"You put on me and see."

"General Su is joking."

The messenger's expression turned cold: "Emperor Dajin is just outside the city. Hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for him. The general is really not afraid at all? This is the last warning. General Su should not mistake others."

"If I'm afraid, I won't rebel. Rebellion is always rushing forward with my head up. It's normal when I lose my head. I'd have seen it long ago."

Su Yonglin waved his hand: "The messenger doesn't want to wear it, everyone help him and help him put on this beautiful palace costume."

After Su Yonglin gave an order, the crowd agreed, and immediately stepped forward with a big laugh and pushed the messenger to the ground. Then, he stripped him of his clothes and put on women's clothes.

The messenger exclaimed again and again, struggling desperately, but to no avail.

Then Su Yonglin ordered the messenger to be bundled into zongzi and brought to the city head, and stuffed into the trebuchet's net pocket, looking at the panicked eyes of the messenger, smiling like a devil.

"That's it, it's my reply, you go ahead and I'll send Wanyan Liang down to accompany you soon."

Then Su Yonglin tore Wanyanliang's letter into pieces, turned around and went down the tower.

He didn't think he could hear the piercing cry of the messenger.

So the soldiers of the catapult crew launched the messenger directly out of the city with a bad taste on their faces, allowing him to experience the feeling of flying.

The shrill screams came to an abrupt end with the messenger crashing to the ground.

Wanyan Liang looked at the messenger who was thrown to death in women's clothes, and finally broke out.

"Go down the order, cross the river, and attack the city!"

If the number of infantry troops is not enough, and the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, then the cavalry will dismount and turn into infantry to participate in the siege.

The defenders of Luokou Town, Fengji Town, and Wangsherendian Town were divided and surrounded by the Jin Army, and they could not support each other. Therefore, Licheng was isolated. Wan Yanliang concentrated 2 troops to attack Licheng from all sides. main city.

All kinds of siege equipment were dispatched in all directions, and the eight cattle catapults were dispatched in full force.

The Restoration Army launched a decisive and resolute counterattack, using heavy ordnance that was not weaker than the Jin Army to fight back against the Jin Army, and also used the rockets and Thor cannons that the Jin Army did not master to attack the Jin Army, which beat the Jin Army to shame.

In a few days, the Jin army was repelled four times without any progress.

Wanyanliang was helpless, so he could only order the army to encamp around Licheng on all sides, use a large army to surround Licheng, and put on an unending posture, so as to exert extreme pressure on Su Yonglin.

Then write the letter again and shoot the eight cattle into the city of Li, and finally persuade you to surrender - if you pull back from the precipice, I will protect you from death.

Wan Yanliang said.

Su Yonglin stood on the city tower with a clairvoyant eye to see how the Jin army was building camps on all sides, intending to besiege the city for a long time, and sneered again and again.

He had full confidence in Sun Ziyi and Su Jue, who he had sent to Hebei. They would definitely turn Hebei upside down and cut off Wanyanliang's logistics.

So you still want to besiege me for a long time?
Su Yonglin ignored it and ordered the army to stick to it.

Wanyan Liang failed in his last attempt to persuade him to surrender.

And Licheng's defense is still as stable as Mount Tai.

After the renovation of Li City, the city walls were tall and the pits were wide and deep. It was not easy for an army to capture. All the old and weak, women and children in the city had been moved by Su Yonglin to the southern Taishan Mountains for temporary shelter. There were only the army and the militia in the city.

In order to concentrate the main force to fight, Su Yonglin kept the core main force of the five main forces by his side.

There were also three armies, the Breaking Enemy Army, the Tabai Army, and the Selecting Front Army, who were also included in the city defense force by him, and asked them to send troops to station Luokou Town, Fengji Town, and Wangsherendian Town respectively, thinking that it would echo.

Although Jin Jun can use the advantage of the number of people to separate all the contacts between each other, but Jin Jun's booth is also getting bigger and bigger, but if there is one place to pull his hips, it must be completely collapsed.

This point was made very clear by Su Yonglin at the military conference.

"You all say that the golden thief is not scary. If we have to fight the golden thief face-to-face, I also don't think we will lose the decisive battle, but we don't have the need to fight the golden thief here. If we don't fight, the golden thief will also. will fail on its own."

Su Yong and Su Haisheng, who advocate head-to-head confrontation, expressed their dissent.

Su Haisheng was the one who advocated a head-to-head battle with the Jin Army and destroyed the Jin Army in one go. "

"Alang, let's go all the way to the south and stretch the food path of the golden thief longer and longer. The golden thief must have already reached the end of the force. The art of war says that the force of the arrow is too late.

Su Yonglin did not deny this view.

"I know that the golden thief has reached its limit, and it can be said that Wanyanliang's personal prestige has been supported until now. The emperor has not done it for nothing, but I still want to say that now is not the time to take the initiative.

I set up so many military strongholds in Hebei, not only for defense, but also to stop the Jin army from going south, and when the Jin army can't stop it, I will become the main force of the counter-offensive. and grain road.

Now it seems that my arrangement is correct. The main force of the golden thief has been attracted to Jinan by us. Its food route is hundreds of miles away. If any link is broken, its main force will face a desperate situation. To be honest, I am still surprised that Wanyanliang can really come all the way to Jinan. "
