(The Great Alliance and Shigoro also appeared on time, and it was a big red envelope when they took action. Thank you so much! At the same time, thank you for the small red envelope "The Little Pig is Running".)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Jin Kingdom did not immediately reply, claiming that the trouble was serious and needed to be considered solemnly. Please ask King Hua to extend his grace period.

This requirement is indeed not excessive, but the Northern Expedition Army headquarters responded firmly, only half a month.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is the Jin people's delaying strategy. Why did the Tianzhu Army last for half a month? The reason is very simple. The Tianzhu Army also needs half a month to prepare.

The 80,000 Tianzhu Army, invaded strongly, ran thousands of miles, swept dozens of states, and was in a great way to destroy the country in one battle. Everything went smoothly in the early stages of the war, but as the army continued to deepen, the front line continued to lengthen, and the logistics pressure became increasingly prominent. Although.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers had been mobilized before, and many prefectures and counties surrendered without fighting, so they could recruit food, materials and service forces on the spot. However, when the Northern Expedition Army was increasingly penetrated into the hinterland of Liaodong that day, logistics and security were carried out.

The pressure on the side is getting bigger and bigger.

The Tianshu forces' strategy to erode the gold is to occupy the capital, rather than to take advantage of the Jin Dynasty invasion south. Since ancient times, for the occupying army, the most troublesome thing is that occupation is easy and difficult to consolidate. To consolidate the occupied land, the most important thing is

The basic two are military, and both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong.

Military, maintain public order, suppress resistance, and ensure that no fires in the backyard occur; people's livelihood and restore normal production order. Commercial circulation, the most important thing is food! If there is food, people's hearts will be at peace. If there is no food, people's hearts will be in chaos.

The rear needs the army to maintain public order and ensure food security, and sufficient food to stabilize the people's hearts; similarly, the front line also needs as many troops as possible to complete the siege of Shangjing; more food and military supplies are needed to support this last and most.

A key battle.

This is a contradiction. How to balance and ensure stability in the rear without affecting the frontline war. The most important consideration is the ability of the commander.

When Di Lie led tens of thousands of troops on the eastern front, he stepped into the birthplace of the Jurchens and pressed out of the Hushui River. After seeing the faintly line-like city wall of Shangjing, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he stationed his troops under the city and went to the whole city.

The army ordered the pace of attacks to slow down. At the same time, the logistics transportation was strengthened. On the one hand, all the casualties were transported back to the temporary field hospital set up in Zhending Prefecture, and on the other hand, the food, weapons and wintering supplies were urgently transported to the front line as soon as possible.

It was early October, and the weather was getting colder every day, and most of the Tianzhu Army soldiers were still wearing summer clothes. When camping, they only had a thin blanket or fur. Now they could barely stand it. According to the local area

People say that in the middle of October or the end of the month in previous years, the weather would inevitably turn cold, and it was not surprising that it would snow. If it took another half a month and the winter quilts could not be shipped, it would probably be very difficult.

First of all, you must protect yourself so that you can better attack the enemy. Therefore, the most urgent task is not to rush to attack the city, but to make all preparations for the next step of siege and general attack.

At this time, the last two major pieces of the Jin army remained: Shangjing (now Acheng, Heilongjiang) and Zhaozhou (now Daqing).

Shangjing died of only 30,000 troops, half of which were newly recruited soldiers. It is estimated that it would be difficult to defend the city, but there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers, so it should not be underestimated. The Zhaozhou garrison is Aguda's eighth son, Alu Bu, and he is also a fierce member.

Generals have participated in the southern invasion many times, the most recent one was the three-year pursuit of Zhao Gou in Jianyan. However, before the war ended, they were recalled to Shangjing, so they missed the opportunity to fight against the Tianzhu Army and escaped.

A disaster.

Alubu is the same group of generals who led their troops to support key prefectures, along with Pucha Shijianu, Hu Shihai and Wanyan Ang. So far, the other three generals have been defeated or destroyed, and only Alubu is still in Zhaozhou.

With his eight thousand defenders, facing two brigades of the Fourth Reorganized Division of the Tianzhu Army, three brigades of Qin Feng Army (one brigade still stayed in Linhuang Mansion), and nearly 15,000 troops attacked for three consecutive days

, the casualties were severe, and the troops were reduced to more than 6,000. If the military command of the Northern Expedition Army issued a military order to suspend the attack and prepare for the war, Alu would have made up the losses.

In addition to the above prefectures and one state, the Jin Dynasty has three vast areas northeast of Huining Prefecture, namely Sufen Road (now north of Jixi, Heilongjiang, to Boli, Russia), and Hulihua Road (now Heilongjiang.

To the north of Hegang, to Kuye Island) and Puyu Road (now north of Heihe, Heilongjiang). The area of ​​these three roads accounts for almost one-third of the entire Jin Dynasty. These places were all the Jurchens who started their homes.

The land is full of deep mountains and forests, deep lakes and swamps, wild men and beasts, and traps everywhere. Even if an army enters it, it will be dead but not alive.

If the Jin people gave up going to Beijing and fled into this dangerous place, the Tianzhu Army would not be able to pursue it... But the question is, is the Jin people still the Jurchens of the past? Or, how many Jurchens did they have in those days? Yu Jian

It is easy to enter extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugality. Can the Jurchens, who have enjoyed the heritage of the Liao Kingdom for more than ten years, return to the primitive living environment of poverty and waste in the past?

Apes evolved into humans, can humans still degenerate into apes?

The Jurchens seem to have a broad way to retreat, but in fact, there is no way out!

...

"No one ran away! It's great!"

It was confirmed that all the important figures of the Jin Kingdom were sticking to Shangjing, and they wanted to fight to the death and die before they were born. Di Lie was overjoyed. He rushed all the way, just because he was worried that the important figures of the Jin Kingdom would run away. The primeval forest and endless snow fields north of Heilongjiang

, What does it mean to mankind? No one in the entire Tianshu force knows better than Di Lie. If the ruler and minister of the Jin Kingdom really make up their minds to be primitive people and go to their hometown, the Tianzhu Army will be helpless.

Of course, this does not affect the end of the Jin Dynasty. It is just that the culprit cannot be caught and always has thorns. This is like when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and occupied Shangjing, but Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi ran into the mountains to hide.

As a result, I didn't catch this king for a day, and the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom were in peace for a day.

However, Jin and Liao are different. Liao has been established for more than a hundred years and has a deep foundation. No matter how unjust the Liao emperor is, he still has a strong public base. The Liao emperor can still be like a big banner to attract the entire Liao Dynasty’s old land.

People's hearts. The Jin Dynasty has only been more than ten years since its founding, and almost all the land occupied by the land of the Liao Dynasty; more than 80% of the people under its rule are the remnants of the Liao Dynasty; even the army is composed, so the Liao army also accounts for 70%

The above. It can be said that the Jurchens used strongly to suppress the resistance of the Khitan, Bohai, Xi people, and Han people. The Jin Kingdom did not have the century-old foundation of the Liao Kingdom, let alone be recognized by the people of the Liao Dynasty. Once the Jurchens were

Give up the capital and burrow into the deep mountains and forests, and never think about coming back in this life.

This is also the real reason why the king and minister of the Jin Kingdom are tacitly convinced and will never run away as long as there is a trace of vitality.

In early October, Di Lie smiled and accepted the "three compensation services" of the Jin people. On the one hand, he sent Sa Lihe to convey the letter of the Tianzhu Army's request for the Jin Kingdom to surrender unconditionally to stabilize the Jin people; on the other hand, he personally visited the battlefield outside Beijing, and took the spot

Investigate and prepare for a solution by force.

As the imperial capital of the Jin Dynasty, Shangjing has been built for only more than ten years. As the capital of the early Jin Dynasty, its construction has obvious simplicity and simple imprints, and has not been attacked by war since its completion. Therefore,

In terms of defense facilities, it is even worse than Yanjing. There are at least three passes outside Yanjing City, which serve as three support points to form a strategic depth. However, Shangjing is not even a pass, and its shape and defense are only equivalent to those of the Gu.

One of the sixteen states in the cloud.

Di Lie and his generals stationed on Songpeng Mountain, seven or eight miles away from the east of Shangjing. Looking down, the various facilities in Shangjing City were vividly remembered in the sight shot: the wide moat and the outer city walls as high as two meters high.

, , urn city, horse face, gate tower, corner tower, inner city wall, inner city moat, imperial city... The defense measures of the city wall are also very complete: sheds, beating wood, pot cauldron, rolling stones... all available.

Ling Yuan guided Shangjing City defense on the side and conveyed the analysis conclusions of the General Staff to the generals present: "If you attack Shangjing by force, the first difficulty will be the moat. Shangjing's moat is four meters wide, and there is a Huantong River upstream.

Hu Tshu Mud Water Injected, and there were presses and tiger waters in the downstream. Just cutting off these three rivers would not be a task that could be completed within a month. The second difficulty was that the Jin people had recently dug around the capital city, and five

The trench is filled with turret oil. Once our army launches a strong attack and breaks through the moat, it will ignite the turret oil to prevent our army from breaking the wall with explosives. According to the estimates of experienced people in the army, the trench is infused.

The turmeric oil can burn for more than ten days. Just clearing these two levels of the periphery is enough to consume our army for nearly two months, but our army cannot be besieged by Shangjing for two months..."

Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "The coldness of the north is really hard for the three armies to support it?"

Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing are both from Jiangnan. They are the first time in their lives to come out of Kanto. It is hard to imagine what winter in the Northeast is like.

Di Lie's face was serious and he focused his attention: "Our army's combat time can only last until this month, at the latest at the beginning of next month, if we fail to defeat the capital, we must withdraw our troops decisively, otherwise the Jin soldiers will not take action, and the army will be badly

The climate is over."

The generals never doubted the judgment of the military leader, and when they heard this, they were speechless.

Zhang Rui gritted his teeth and brimmed his boxing and said angrily: "If you cannot break this double level of water and fire within the month and have to withdraw your troops, you will be in a desperate situation. It is really unwilling to let go."

These words express the thoughts of the generals, but the two difficulties are real. How to solve them is a difficult problem in front of you.

Di Lie stays at the top of the horse, letting the mountain wind blow strongly, people are like rocks, and horses are like sculptures. The clouds and mists are floating among the peaks, opening and closing, and the vast plains of Shangjing are far away, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, and Di Lie's pair

But his eyes are getting brighter and brighter...

On October 12th, the deadline has arrived, and the Jin Kingdom refused to reply and refused to hand over the war criminals listed on the list.

On the same day, the military headquarters of the Northern Expedition Army issued a general mobilization order for the last battle of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

The final decisive battle is about to begin. We will complete the most important mission at the beginning of the founding of the Tianzhu Army.

In this battle, the Tianzhu Army not only had to fight against people and earth, but also with the sky!
Chapter completed!
