Chapter 533 Breaking Liaoyang

Su Jue marched eastward from Jinzhou, defeated three small reconnaissance units of the Jin Army one after another along the way, and successfully advanced to ten miles west of Liaoyang City.

After arriving, Su Jue set up camp here, rectified the troops and horses, and then sent troops to explore the way forward, clear the obstacles, and open up a feasible way for the army to attack.

Knowing that there are military fortresses and obstacles around Liaoyang City, Su Jue feels that this must be a tough battle, but he is also very tough with powerful troops and attacking weapons.

The result, of course, is that the Restoration Army is tougher.

Although it is said that the [-]-strong main force of the Jin Army has a good will to fight, and they have no doubts about the "brutal bloodthirsty" of the Restoration Army, but sometimes the will can't decide everything.

For example, when Su Jue used large-scale ordnance and firearms to open the way for the army's advance, they could not use their flesh and blood to stop the advance of the Restoration Army.

The effect of a large number of Thor cannons falling to the ground is still amazing. The rumbling sound of the explosion is a piece, and the momentum is earth-shattering. Although it can't help the tall, wide and deep city walls and moats, these outer military strongholds are indeed not their opponents.

The temporarily built military strongholds were all made of wood. The thinner ones were directly blown through, and the thicker ones couldn’t withstand the fire. When the rumbling sound of the explosion came, the soldiers of the Jin Army could not be afraid.

Moreover, intimidated by the fighting power displayed by the Restoration Army before, the Jin Army seemed to have a little fear of the Restoration Army, which was embodied in the fact that they did not dare to fight in the field.

It's okay to defend according to the danger, but when the Restoration Army finished the long-range attack and formed a formation, they broke away with a bang, unable to maintain the formation, and dared not fight in the field.

The army outside the city was scattered again and again, unable to confront the Restoration Army, so that many important places outside the city were lost, and the tide of the Restoration Army sweeping was very obvious.

The person in charge of the city was Wuyan Puluhun, Wanyan Yong was not in the city at this time, but left Liaoyang before the war and went to Huining House.

The reason is very simple. They don't have much confidence in defending Liaoyang City, so in order not to be caught in one pot, Wuyan Puluhun hopes that Wanyan Yong can go to Huining Mansion, just in case.

When Wanyanyong went to Huining Mansion, he could recruit troops nearby and expand his military strength, so Wuyanpu Luhun also hoped that Wanyanyong would go to Huining Mansion to reorganize his army. If the war in Liaoyang was difficult, he hoped Wanyanyong would bring troops to help. Defend Liaoyang together.

"My uncle has already died for me. I can no longer lose the old general. The old general must cherish it. If things cannot be violated, don't be discouraged. If you keep a useful body, you may not be able to make a comeback."

Wanyan Yong held Wuyan Pu Luhun's hand for a long time and was unwilling to let go.

Wuyan Pulu sighed when he heard the words, and said, "The old minister will do his best to defend the country for His Majesty."

After Wanyanyong left, Wuyanpu Luhun coordinated the entire defense of Liaoyang. He knew that the Restoration Army now had an absolute advantage, while the Jin Army was at a disadvantage, but he was not reconciled, so he decided to use Liaoyang City and the Restoration Army for a decisive battle. .

If you win, there is still hope for Dajinguo, but if you lose, you will be lost.

He thought he could hold the Restoration Army out of the city for at least ten days, but he didn't think that the war would start in just two days, and the Restoration Army would be able to see that the soldiers in the city were being urgently mobilized.

The collapse of the Jin army garrisoned outside the city far exceeded Wuyanpuluhun's imagination. He was very anxious, so he had to send his own personal guards to lead the elite troops to support the military strongholds, fight against the Restoration Army, and repeatedly compete for important military strongholds.

The elites of Wuyanpuluhun are still very good at fighting. After supporting the front line, all the military villages can fight back and forth with the Restoration Army. Under the attack of the Restoration Army's superior long-range weapons, they grit their teeth and persist, but they do not retreat. The Restoration Army had to devote a large number of troops to fight it fiercely.

For example, Cao Zhengchu commanded the army and the Jin army to compete for a military fortress, invaded three times, and was driven out three times. Finally, Cao Zhengchu used his own personal guard battalion to break through it at the cost of one-fifth of the soldiers of the personal guard battalion. A military village.

Cao Zhengchu accumulated meritorious service after the victory in the Hebei War. After the establishment of the Liaodong Corps, he was appointed as the commander of the first division of the Xiaoguo Army. He commanded 1 soldiers and horses.

As a result, I ran into such a tough military village.

When cleaning the battlefield, he had to sigh that there are still many warriors in the Jin Army until now.

And Dong Heguang, Cao Zhengchu's old friend and the second division coach, also encountered hardships. He failed five times in five attacks, and his mouth was crooked with anger.

In the end, he had no other choice. He ordered to throw more than 100 Thor cannons directly into the army camp. When the smoke billowed in a series of explosions, he personally led the troops to rush in, risked his life, and finally conquered it. That military camp.

After conquering the military fortress, Dong Heguang was paralyzed on the ground panting heavily, saying that such a fierce fight had never happened since Su Yonglin defeated Yan Alin outside Zhending City.

Wuyan Puluhun tried his best to smash all the elite soldiers he had cultivated so hard, but failed to stop the progress of the Restoration Army.

On the fourth day after the start of the war, all the military facilities outside Liaoyang City were destroyed.

Thor cannons, rockets, crossbows, catapults and other siege equipment all appeared, besieging the city on all sides, making the siege of Liaoyang City impassable. From the day the siege began, the sound of gunpowder explosions in Liaoyang City has not stopped.

The deafening sound really destroyed the hearing of the defending golden army in more than ten days. They had to shout loudly to hear what their comrades said, otherwise they would not be able to hear what their comrades were saying and what to do.

The defenders of the city head were bombarded by the destructive weapons of the Restoration Army. People died every moment, and people were blown into the sky or smashed into meat sauce at every moment. You can't walk without a shield.

But despite this, Wuyan Puluhun didn't give up the idea of ​​city defense at all, he thought that even if he fought his old life, he couldn't give up Liaoyang City.

Su Jue, who was outside the city, surrounded Liaoyang City with superior forces and attacked from all directions, successively conquered Shenzhou, Chengzhou, Guide, Tangchi, Jian'an and other places, and successfully isolated Liaoyang.

During this process, some local garrison troops were unable to resist at all. When they saw the Restoration Army coming, the officials fled first, and those who couldn't escape, knelt down and surrendered, but they didn't see any resistance.

Su Jue felt that the further back he fought, the weaker the resistance of the ordinary Jin people would be. He felt that if he defeated Liaoyang Mansion and wiped out the garrison Jin army, then he would hit Huining Mansion in one breath, and no one would dare to resist.

Unless Wanyan Yong comes with a [Royal Driving Personal Expedition], there is nothing to do.

Liaoyang Mansion is strong for a while, but how long can it last?
Su Jue continued to attack and attack the city. The troops of the three armies under his command took turns to attack the city. It was regarded as training. One batch in the morning and another batch in the afternoon, or they took turns fighting day by day, and several troops took turns to rest and take turns to attack the city. , All in all, don't give the defenders in the city a little time to rest.

Uyanpuluhun is indeed tenacious, but the will of the Restoration Army is still tenacious.

During this period of time, in addition to sieging the city, the instructors went to the grassroots to give cultural and ideological education to the recruits, telling them why they fought this battle.

Tell them why they keep playing when they're down and have to back off, and when they're exhausted and want to go home, tell them why.

Fighting is for myself, for my family, for my fathers and my fellow villagers, for all the Chinese people, so that they can stand up and live a good life.

If these enemies are not eliminated now and give them a chance to breathe, they will make a comeback, and at that time, everything they have now will be taken away.

Do you want to go back to the way you used to live?
Do you still want to be driven by the golden man like a bull and a horse?
Do you still want to live the kind of days when you can't eat enough to wear warm clothes?

A few questions went on, and the morale of the army went straight to the top.

At this time, the officer shouted again [Brothers, come with me], and a siege force that is not afraid of death will be rectified and ready to attack the city.

Therefore, Jin Jun, who was defending the city, was very surprised, and felt that the morale of the Restoration Army was always terrifyingly high.

The soldiers who rushed to the city wall were also red-eyed and gritted their teeth, with murderous expressions on their faces, not afraid of death at all. Even if they were besieged to the point where there were only a few people left, they did not flinch. Fierce.

Why do they keep their morale so high despite their repeated setbacks?
What did their commander promise them to make them work so hard?
Even Wuyan Puluhun couldn't understand this question, but he could only fight against each other, constantly throwing money to the defending soldiers to boost morale, telling them to persevere, and soon His Majesty the Emperor would lead reinforcements to rescue them.

But the morale motivated by money and the morale motivated by real vital interests are completely different.

If you are not afraid of death, even the one who is afraid of death is the enemy.

No one could hold back the high-strength attack by the high morale Restoration Army for half a month.

On the second day of the eighth lunar month, the Xiaoguo Army commanded by Su Jue personally was in charge of the siege. Near noon, Su Jue organized the Xiaoguo Army to siege the city for the last time in the morning.

The main attack was the team of Cao Zhengchu's first division. After they attacked the city wall, they made a major breakthrough. Not only were they not driven down, but they also gained a firm foothold on the city wall.

This is good news. Su Jue looked at it with a clairvoyant, and was overjoyed, and immediately sent more troops to give full support.

However, the reaction of the Jin Army was a little slow. When more than 70 soldiers of the Restoration Army had climbed the city wall and smashed out a space, they panicked and prepared to mobilize the army to fight back.

But it was too late. Cao Zhengchu's first titan and brigade commander Hou Kai personally boarded the city wall and led his troops to the death. The number of troops on the southern city wall is increasing.

After the force finally broke through a certain critical point, Hou Kai commanded the army to form a battle formation to attack outwards, counterattack in an all-round way, and fight to the death with the Jin army on the city wall, preparing to fight for the control of the city gate tower.

Hou Kai took the lead with red eyes, wielding his sword to kill three golden soldiers one after another, unstoppable.

The two golden soldiers rushed to fight. Hou Kai stretched out his arms and tucked two spears under his arm. He charged forward and slashed the two golden soldiers with two knives.

Another Jin Bing raised his crossbow to shoot Hou Kai, but the personal soldier beside Hou Kai threw the knife out of his hand with a flick of his hand, killing the Jin Bing directly.

"Good job!"

Hou Kai patted the shoulders of the soldiers beside him, and then roared and went to fight. The killing was covered in blood, and when he couldn't tell whether it was a living person or a dead person, the Jin army at the head of the city finally couldn't stand the death battle of the Restoration Army. collapsed.

This book of guilt was a complete collapse, and the remaining Jin Bing shouted in horror and kept fleeing, unable to prevent Hou Kai's attack any longer.

The collapse of the Golden Army at the top of the city quickly spread to the lower part of the city. When Hou Kai led the red-eyed soldiers to kill the city tower, the hundreds of Jin Army reserve soldiers under the city were very frightened and scattered in a hurry, no one dared to go up. Fight before.

So Hou Kai led people to attack the city gate and fought fiercely with the Jinbing garrison in the city gate. Another force charged directly into the city, opening a safe distance for the city gate commandos.

Finally, at two quarters of noon, the south gate of Liaoyang City slammed open, and the army of Xiaoguo Army, which had been prepared, rushed in, and Liaoyang City, which had been holding on for half a month, was officially broken.

This is the city that was gnawed down by the Liberation Army with its hard power. It was conquered by the strong fighting will of the Liberation Army, which completely overwhelmed the Jin Army, without a trace of moisture.

After this blow, the Jin Army in the southern part of the city completely collapsed and fled quickly, without any obstacle to the restoration army entering the city.

When the reinforcements sent by Wuyan Puluhun rushed to Nancheng to try to block it, it was already too late. There were too many Liberation Army troops entering the city, and they could not stop them at all. It was useless for Wuyan Puluhun to invest almost all the personal troops.

By the end of the battle, all four city gates had been captured, and more than [-] Jin troops had surrendered.

Su Jue quickly interrogated some of the surrendered Jin generals, and learned that it was not the emperor Wanyan Yong who was guarding here, but the privy envoy Wuyan Puluhun.

Wanyan Yong left Liaoyang before the war and headed towards Huining House.

Su Jue was very unhappy. He thought that Wanyan Yong could be arrested, but who would have thought that Wanyan Yong would actually run away.

So Su Jue ordered to besiege the stay-at-home mansion with all his strength.

So Lu Tang commanded the attacking troops to bombard the residence of Liushou with a large number of firearms such as Thor cannons, and pushed a car to slam into the gate of the residence. The bloody battle of the defenders.

This group of defenders was also very tenacious. They fought to the last moment, knocking down a lot of the guards around Lu Tang, and not a single one surrendered until the end.

Wuyan Puluhun has not left the left-behind mansion since he knew the resistance had failed. He stayed in the room where he lived, looking at the portrait of Wanyan Aguda enshrined in the room, and was filled with grief and indignation.
