Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The trench-filling trucks came one after another, and finally filled some parts of the moat.

The large troop of the Jin Army pushed the goose cart and began to move forward crazily.

Adjutant Li Song said excitedly: "Commander Zhang, the Jin army has begun to cross the moat!"

"I saw it!" Zhang Rong looked over, his small eyes were drooping, and he always looked like he was not awake, but if you really thought he was sleeping, it might be a disaster.

"The whole army is docked!"

The soldiers at the bow shook vigorously, and the chains began to shrink.

The twelve large ships of the Song Army broke through the waves and pushed towards the shore together.

After getting closer, Zhang Rong shouted: "The trebuchet is ready!"

The soldiers on the deck immediately lifted stones and put them on the trebuchet.

Li Song said again: "Commander Zhang, there are only 200 yuan of stones in total, do you want to use it now?"

"Now is the decisive battle, don't you need to take him home and sleep!"

"Yes!"

"Aim at the golden army on the shore and smash it hard! Until you finish smashing!"

Li Song immediately went to the side of the ship to take command.

He muttered, "It would be great if there were iron cannons."

At this time, among the golden army on the coast, there was a sudden exclamation.

Jin Jun raised his head and saw the stones in the air raining down on him, he was so frightened that he immediately rolled and crawled.

"Don't move!" a Jinjun Muke (centurion) shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a stone the size of a watermelon hit his head. Even his helmet was deformed, and he fell to the ground motionless.

I saw the stone that fell from the sky, pouring down towards the large team of the Jin army.

The Jin army fell into a small-scale chaos. Although there was no chaos yet, some people were panicked.

At this time, the Song Army ships were getting closer and closer to the coast.

A long wooden plank was laid down on the deck. Soldiers of the Song Army stepped on the wooden plank and got off the ship with agility. They came to the reef, held their shields, and quickly formed a team under the command of the officer.

The ship fired dense bows and arrows at the front of the Jin army, and began to cover the landing of the front troops.

Soon the Song Army fought the Jin Army head-on on the coastline.

The morale of the Jin army, who was startled by the catapult before, was obviously affected to a certain extent, and was crushed by the crossbow arrows again. As a result, they had just killed the Song army who had just rushed ashore for a while, and the defense line couldn't hold it.

How did Wan Yanchang know that sea-ship tactics could still be used like this.

This is simply treating the sea ship as a moving castle on the sea.

What Wan Yanchang expected was that the defense line at the seaside would wait for work, and after the Song army landed, they would rush to kill while the Song army did not line up.

But he obviously lacks experience in water warfare, or he really doesn't know much about the sea.

It is difficult to line up in the seaside reef area. It is impossible for the Jin army to line up in this area, so they can only retreat a little farther away, which gives enough space for the Song army to land.

After the Song Army used a wave of trebuchets, they fought hard again, winning a lot of time for the Song Army.

The collapse of the Jin Army's shore defense line was almost completely unexpected by Wan Yanchang.

A large number of Jin troops fled in the collapse. Seeing this, Zhang Rong immediately mobilized all his troops to land, and then launched a fierce attack on the battlefield outside the east gate.

Chapter 486 The countdown to the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom begins? (third change)

The key figure in the Battle of Duli was actually Zhang Rong's navy.

Interestingly, in the official history, it was Zhang Rong who made Wan Yanchang lose the battle.

That was the situation where Wan Yanchang followed Jin Wushu to the south, preparing to capture Zhao Gou alive.

After Zhang Rong fought at Shuotou Lake, Yan Chang directly doubted his life. Since then, he has changed from a main fighter to a complete peace party in Jin Guochaotang.

At this time, the goose chariot of the Jin Army had already leaned on the top of the city.

The two sides fought fiercely at the head of the city.

The morale of the Song army was strong, especially seeing that King Qi was also fighting on the top of the city in armor, and he was even braver.

Soldiers of the Golden Army were thrown from the top of the city one by one.

Wan Yanchang saw that many people had already climbed to the top of the wall, so he quickly ordered to send more people.

It was already noon.

Just when Wan Yanchang was only one step away from capturing the top of the city, the news of the collapse of the coastal defense line came.

"Report! General, the coastal defense has been breached by the Song army!"

"What! What did you say!"

"General, the coastal defense has been breached by the Song Army!"

Wan Yanchang's complexion changed drastically, he quickly climbed to the high platform, looked towards the shore, and saw a group of defeated soldiers rushing towards this side.

There were more Song troops behind, and they entered the main battlefield of Dongcheng like waves.

"The big thing is not good!" Wan Yanchang's face was as pale as paper in an instant, and he jumped up angrily, "Quick! Bilan! You lead two thousand cavalry to intercept the Song army..."

Wan Yanchang roared loudly.

But then he regretted it again, because it was too late.

The Song army had rushed into the main battlefield and began to strangle the Jin army that was besieging the city.

If the cavalry were used to charge at this time, it would not have the slightest effect on saving the battlefield, it would only make the battlefield more chaotic, and instead sacrifice these elite cavalry in vain.

"Mingjin retreats! Hurry up!"

Wan Yanchang came down from the high platform, and while ordering Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, he immediately got his personal guards ready to evacuate.

As Wan Yanchang expected, the Jin Army's siege troops fell into chaos.

When Zhao Chen saw it, he immediately went down from the city tower, and shouted loudly: "The Jin army is in chaos, open the city gate and fight out!"

The officer was stunned for a moment. Although Zhao Chen was the king of Qi, he did not have the authority to command the army.

It stands to reason that no one should listen to him, but those officers got along well with him, and even subconsciously ordered the city gate to be opened.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the Song army rushed out like a torrent.

He picked up the big axe, iron bone, and mace and blasted the hammer at Jin Jun.

It didn't slowly subside until the afternoon.

The bodies of Jin Jun were everywhere outside the city, and some Jin Jun jumped into the unfilled moat and drowned in a panic.

The Battle of Dulicheng put the Jin Army into a great passive position.

Wan Yanchang retreated for more than [-] li all the way and set up several military defenses before stopping.

That night, Wan Yanchang began to use his brain again.

It's okay to fail once, after all, Song Jun didn't know how many Jin Jun had come.

Wanyan Changda can bluff and continue to attack the city after recuperating.

He had seen that the east gate of the capital city was not considered high, and the Song army did not use firearms, which showed that the Song army's armament was not complete.

However, he ran out of time.

The next day, Wan Yanchang counted the remaining people.

There were 5000 men left.

5000 troops were lost yesterday.

Although there are still 5000 people now, most of the 5000 people are engaged in logistics, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the regular army.

Almost all of the 5000 troops lost yesterday were elites.

This statistical result shook Wan Yanchang's determination to continue attacking.

He began to use his brain again.

It's just that this time it's not about how to defeat Song Jun, but to find reasons for himself, to prevaricate Yan Zongfu, and to explain to the court.

Wan Yanchang quickly thought of the reason: the intelligence was wrong, the Song Army really had 20 troops in Liaodong!

On April [-], Zongfu outside Fuzhou City received a battle report from Duli City.

This time Wanyan Zongfu actually learned to be smart. He sent someone to be by Wanyanchang's side and told him to send back the battle report at any time.

When Zongfu learned that Wan Yanchang had failed in the first battle, his heart sank.

Intuition told him that Duli City is a tough bone.

Zongsuke, who was not in good health, coughed violently.

On this day, Zongfu decided to pull out his army, leave Fuzhou, go south to support Wanyanchang, and attack Duli together.

But in fact, his real purpose is to attract the Song army in Fuzhou.

He will set up an ambush between the mountain roads going south, and follow his original plan to encircle and recruit reinforcements.

The key reason for besieging and attacking reinforcements is that the opponent's army has no military formations on the way, and it is easy to be ambushed while moving, and once ambushed, it is easy to be defeated.

The Jurchens have powerful cavalry, and they are very good at encircling points for reinforcements.

There are many mountains in this area, and they are all hills, so it is easy to ambush and sneak attack.

On April [-]th, Wan Yanchang received the news that Wanyan Zongfu had gone south to join him.

On April [-], the Song Army detected that the Jin Army outside Fuzhou City had all withdrawn and headed south.

When Hu Yantong heard the news, he became excited again: "Han Shuai, please give the last general 3000 troops, and the last general is willing to play forward!"

"No! No!"

"Why?"

"The gold thieves obviously want to surround the spot to fight for aid." Han Shizhong, who has always liked to play sneak attacks, saw through Zongfu's purpose at a glance.

"Then let's just watch the gold thieves go south to besiege the capital?"

"Duli is not so easy to capture. This commander will give you 3000 people. Hurry up and set up an ambush on the only way to retreat to the north. Without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to go south to pursue the Jin army!"

"Yes!"

On April [-]th, Zongfu and Wan Yanchang joined forces.

Zongfu held his temper, suppressed his anger, and asked Wanyanchang about the whole process of the siege.

Wan Yanchang finally said: "There are really [-] Song troops in the city of Duli, and there must be [-] Song troops in Fuzhou!"

"You mean, there are really 20 Song troops who landed in Liaodong this time?"

"Absolutely! I guarantee it with my character!" Wan Yanchang swore, "The city of Duli is not easy to attack, and Song Dog is very cunning, and there are sailors as cover!"

After Zongsuke learned the truth, his mood became more gloomy, and he began to cough violently again.

Wan Yanchang said: "Should we go to fight Fuzhou, because the Song army from the city of Duli came to support us, we should surround them to fight?"

"No, no, we don't have that much time." Zongfu's face turned pale, and the people below brought him medicine.

If it wasn't for his health, he wouldn't have been transferred to Liaoyang, let alone Wan Yanchang would have led troops to support him.

"Right now, we can only focus on the overall situation. I will quickly send someone to notify Zongwang, and let Zongwang send troops back to help."

"What about us now?"

"I originally wanted to join forces with you to attack Duli, but now it seems that the Song army is more prepared than we imagined, and now we can only retreat to Gaizhou, and wait for Zongwang to send people back to help, and then plan to restore the state. "

A few days later, the scouts reported that the Jin army showed signs of retreating.

Han Shizhong immediately wrote a letter, making people hurry to the capital.

The content is very simple, let Zhang Rong quickly go north by sea, land in Gaizhou, pretend to attack, and evacuate at any time, so as to disturb the vision of the Jin army and cause intelligence confusion for the Jin army.

In April of the sixth year of Jingkang, after the Battle of Duli City, it meant that Zhao Ning's Liaodong strategy had initially won.

From then on, the Kingdom of Jin had to station heavy troops in Gaizhou to prevent the Song army from going north.

Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom in the far northwest, did not know that the opening of the Liaodong battlefield thousands of miles away meant the countdown to the destruction of the Xixia Kingdom.
