Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 204 Don’t teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountain!
Han Shizhong had completed the general encirclement of the Jin people and ensured that all the latter's food routes were completely cut off, leaving Wanyan Loushi to obtain food only from the prairie people.

Moreover, this process will definitely not be pleasant for both parties.

The grassland has been forced to face the war since the beginning of the year. The morale was quite good in the early stage. However, as the war continues, the food reserves and young men of each tribe are being consumed one after another. The latter loss is even more unacceptable.

If it weren't for the golden man, Wang Gu Khan's head would have been lost long ago.

Even so, many tribes broke away from the alliance and the Jin army, took the initiative to beg for surrender from the Han army, gave up fighting with Han Shizhong's guarantee, and watched the show instead.

That's right, Han Shizhong didn't even ask them to take their young men to serve in the Han army, nor did he pressure them to do anything. He just asked them to keep most of their armor and weapons as a guarantee not to go to war with the Han army.

Inspired by such rumors, more and more grassland people put down their weapons, even if it was their original leader who ordered them to take up arms.

A small number of elite prairie people who were full of admiration for the Han army were dispersed and incorporated into the Han army after their identities were verified.

After all, most people still want to live, but for the jealous Han army opposite, most people in the army can choose to die in a foreign country without hesitation. Their fighting does not look like history at all. The army of that dynasty was more like a group of prairie people.

The engulfment on the grassland is not the genocide, but the assimilation and elimination of tribes: after I defeat you, your brothers will become my brothers, and your warriors will still fight for my flag.

"I'm afraid that this time he is no longer a test, but is determined to prepare for a decisive battle. He will either break the siege or be surrounded and annihilated. After this battle, I don't know how many more corpses will be found at the foot of Yinshan Mountain."

Han Shizhong took advantage of this period of time to gain the upper hand and penetrate his control into the entire army. Many of the Han troops he led were Song soldiers who had to surrender after following Tong Guan in the northern expedition to Yan. , and Han Shizhong, who had begun to disdain Song Jun, actually found a lot of "uncut jade" inside.

But once the war begins, no matter life or death, all he can do is win!

The various advantages of the Jin people are constantly weakening. The raid launched by Wanyan Loushi failed to achieve the expected results. As a result, many problems began to be exposed: the long and fragile food routes of the Jin army were cut off at a touch, and the loss of a large number of soldiers could not be replaced. , the alienation of grassland allies,

Able to fight, able to kill, extremely fierce,
But the effect they showed in Tong Guan's hands was completely different from that in Han Shizhong's hands.

A civil servant in the army stood up and replied in a deep voice: "We can't let them retreat. There is a report in the cloud that the king has won a great victory and destroyed more than 20,000 Jin troops. Then Wanyan Loushi's troops will be destroyed." Buried on the grassland, the Jin Kingdom will no longer have the power to go south."

"The former army sentry cavalry reported that they encountered Jin sentry scouts in the east, killed four of them, captured two, and returned with their horses and armor."

After he was sure that he could gain the upper hand, he no longer took the initiative to launch large-scale wars. He only used his own troops to continuously block Wanyan Loushi's withdrawal direction. When the latter was forced to fight decisively, he suddenly withdrew his troops. Forcing the latter to be constantly under great pressure of war.

Even arrows began to be in short supply.
Han Shizhong was as steady as an old dog from beginning to end, relying on plundered cattle and sheep to maintain military rations. The food routes behind him were never cut off. After more and more grassland tribes surrendered, his food routes even gained support from some grassland tribes. Spontaneous escort.

Han Shizhong nodded slightly, stood up and came to the map hanging in the tent. After looking at it for a while, he said:
"Wanyan Loushi wants to withdraw his troops."

From the Song army that was defeated like a mountain, it directly became the Han army that was as strong as iron in fighting.

Han Shizhong said calmly that he was originally from the Song Dynasty, so he could better control an army composed mostly of Song people who surrendered generals and troops. He also hoped in his heart that he could bring these fellow countrymen back as well as possible.

You must know that the Jin army is not only Jurchens, but also has a large number of foreigners as soldiers. Once there is a shortage of food, Wanyan Loushi will naturally follow the Jurchens as much as possible to eat food.

With a total of nearly 40,000 field troops, even the Song Dynasty would be in pain for a long time, let alone the Jin Kingdom, which had only a small number of troops.

The civil servant calmly said: "Commander, the reason why I am dismissed is not because of personal enmity between my family and my country, but because of the circumstances. As long as Wanyan Loushi is allowed to die here, and all his more than 10,000 golden dogs are allowed to die here, the Kingdom of Jin will be defeated." We no longer dare to go south. Even ten years from now, we can try to go to the Northern Expedition before the next generation of the Jin Kingdom has grown up.
Devour their land, plunder their population, and destroy their country!

If there is a war, I am willing to wear armor and go into battle and personally serve as the vanguard of the army! "Han Shizhong looked at the map and was thinking. He didn't answer. His eyes stayed on the west of Yinshan Mountain.

"What's the name of this place?" He raised his hand and pointed to that place.

A general next to him replied: "Tianshan."

"Right here, Qianli hastily tell the king that his and I will surround the Tianshan Mountains and bury these golden men inside."

Han Shizhong looked back at the civil servant and ordered: "Come and draft a letter and tell the Jin Marshal in the tone of my commander. Tell him that I, Han Shizhong, will never keep all the horses and armor in his army." Attack him again and let him return home."

".Here!"

Han Shizhong returned to his seat, raised his hand and patted the table.

"Before sending the letter, please pass on my commander-in-chief's order and ask the former army commander Qu Duan to send troops to attack Wang Gu's tribe for three days.

If the Jin people dare to stop them, they will be killed.
If the grassland people dare to stop, they will be exterminated! "

In the tent, more than a dozen civil servants and generals bowed to him.

"As ordered!"

"No. Commander, I beg you, you can't retreat!"

"Then you plan to let your tribe make food for my army?" Wanyan Loushi has lost his previous composure. The danger that the entire army may be annihilated at any time has gradually reduced his excitement from the beginning to the fatigue he is now. .

There are no reinforcements at all.

Not a grain of food is left.

Many tribes that originally provided food and grass to the Jin army are now slowly pushing back and refusing. In fact, if there is surplus food, they are still willing to give it, but the fierce battle lasts too long, and the Jin people are almost going to use up their food reserves.

Then after the Jin leaves, will all his people starve to death on the grassland?
Wanyan Loushi even couldn't figure it out. Although the combat effectiveness of his own army was a little worse than three years ago, it was definitely not like the Song army. Many soldiers still dared to fight. Why couldn't they break through the Han army?

"Handsome."

"enough!"

Wanyan Loushi roared angrily, interrupting Wanggu Khan's constant pleading. From underneath, Wanyan Zongbi stood up and said in a deep voice: "Commander, this is the first time our Dajin soldiers have been in such a stalemate with the enemy. This is What a shame!
If we retreat like this, I, the Jin people, will never be able to hold our heads high in front of the Han army! "

"Commander!"

Zong Bi roared and knelt down to Wanyan Loushi. Behind him, Wanyan Zongfu and many Jin generals also knelt down.

"Lead the soldiers and charge again!"
