Chapter 182

The people in Haicang Town are like this, and so are the people in Ye County, Qutai City and other places.

This Baowu system is advancing faster, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps. Hearing that the threat of the Mongolian army is imminent, the people will inevitably be restless.Fortunately, the soldiers from all over the country responded well, because each soldier has a corresponding family, and the suppression is also very effective.

The thousands of soldiers under Guo Ning's command, including those additionally recruited in Zhongdu, are all old soldiers who have experienced several battles and have been battle-tested.After many years of wind and frost swords, they finally took root in Laizhou. This is also great news for the soldiers.

In the past few days, how many people have led the shady households to survey the fields, and how many people have repeatedly calculated the income they can have for their families.

If there is trouble in the shade household, it means that there will be trouble in the good life of the family. Who can allow it?Don't say that the Mongols are still in Jinan, even if they arrive at the city of Laizhou tonight, the people under Lao Tzu's name can't be messed up!
At the same time, Guo Ning's announcement also arrived.

The content is simple and clear, and only three things are said.First, the Mongol army has captured Jinan; second, Guo Jiedu will definitely lead the troops of the town to guard Laizhou; third, if the common people are willing to defend Laizhou together, they will be rewarded for their merits in the future. If you are in trouble, Yuner will leave in one day, and you will regret it after waiting for the military law.

The day after the proclamation was posted, the people did flee a little, but more people gathered from all over the place to seek asylum.

At this time, Guo Ning took out the savings of both the Laizhou government office and the local tycoons, and he was full of confidence and extravagant.He then issued an order to convert all the original soldiers and horses into the main army, and recruited strong men from the neighborhood to serve as the army.

In addition to following the main army and being familiar with the system in the army, these drawn-out post troops immediately started high-intensity military training.At the same time, other strong men and even able-bodied women in Baowu continued to rush to repair various city defense facilities.

Relying on the sufficient number of people and generous food and salaries, the moats, urn gates, sheep and horse walls, piers, and watchtowers everywhere look the same every day.And the artisans who were specially recruited and assembled before the distribution of the shaded fields were working day and night to forge weapons and various defense equipment.

And when Guo Ning was fully preparing to meet the enemy, the Mongolian army also rested in Jinan for several days.

By late September, the weather is getting cooler and cooler.The Mongolian army took Yang Wan, the general of Weizhou, Zhao Yu, the general of Feihu, the general of Bazhou, and the three tribes of Khitan Shimabodier as the vanguard, and the general of Jeju, Jata Rahun, as the guide, with more than [-] troops. , Go east along the Xiaoqing River, first break through Zhangqiu and Zouping, and then turn south to attack Zizhou.

In the cities along the way, most of the people have fled, and the morale of the defenders is also very low.And these four surrendered generals have learned a lot about the wanton massacre of the Mongols.Wherever they went, they burned villages and massacred people. When attacking cities, they drove the villagers to the front, forcing them to fill in ditches and anoint arrows.

In this way, the prestige is greatly boosted.Seven thousand soldiers arrived at the city of Zichuan, and the governor of Zizhou abandoned the city that night and left.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yingyang, the military judge of Zizhou in Zichuan City, is a courageous man.With the assistance of the local county captain Yang Minzhong and the hero Zhang Qilu, he gathered his troops and defended the city.

The generals who surrendered outside the city were not elite at all, so they might not be able to succeed if they used them to attack the city.However, Yang Wan, Zhao Yu, Shima Bodier and others have followed the Mongolian army for several months, and they know how harsh the Mongolian army is.

No matter what kind of Wanhu or Qianhu, if the leader of the army is defeated in a fight, they will either be executed immediately, or they will be sent to death squads together with the entire tribe to make up for their crimes with military exploits.Only a very small number of nobles can redeem their sins with property, and Yang Wan and others are definitely not among them.

These people have defected to Mongolia, and they know that their reputation is ruined. The only way to restore their reputation is to win the king and lose the bandit.

And the reason why they surrendered was mostly because they were defeated on the battlefield, and they were greedy for life and afraid of death.Since this kind of person who is greedy for life and fear of death has escaped death once, he becomes ten times and a hundred times more afraid of death, and he urges his subordinates ten times and a hundred times more, ordering them to fight crazily, turning his fear into extra ferocity.

Within three days, Fushan and Mingshan army villages in the north of Zichuan City were destroyed first, and Xuguan in the west of the city was broken again.The attached army was approaching the city, and thousands of people were divided into four teams, and they took turns to attack day and night.

Inside and outside the battlefield, there is clearly not a single Mongol, but Jurchens, Bohai people, Khitan people or hundreds of Han children are fighting each other.Every time the offensive was repelled, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere on the top of the city, and blood flowed wantonly along the rammed-earth city walls, dyeing the blue-black walls brown.

On the fourth day of the siege, Wanyan Sala of Yidu sent a team of troops to cross Shangshan in the east of Zizhou City to rush to aid Zizhou.As a result, in Jinling Town at the foot of Shangshan Mountain, Shimabodier was ambushed.

In fact, there were not many soldiers and horses in ambush, and the reinforcements fought with them, and the casualties were only a few hundred.Jinling Town is only [-] miles away from Yidu, and tens of thousands of troops can follow at any time.However, the reinforcements were frustrated and could not advance in Jinling Town. No matter how Wanyan Sala urged them from behind, they did not dare to take a step forward.

At this time, Yang Wan, Zhao Yu and others continued to attack Zichuan City.

The Mongols are not good at attacking cities, but these people are all the generals of the Kingdom of Jin, and they are all familiar with the tricks.So hundreds of ladders were urgently built, and they stormed regardless of casualties.

When the battle was at a stalemate, Yang Wan took all the ten boxes of gold and silver that the Mongolian nobles had rewarded before, and used them as gifts to the soldiers who dared to ascend first.He arranged his own soldiers to line up behind the battle line, and everyone held sharp long knives. Anyone who retreated timidly would be killed on the spot.

And Zhao Yu was even more ferocious.He once led people to the top of the city and approached the east gate.The guard Qi Yingyang personally led the dead soldiers to attack and fight Zhao Ting.At this moment, a stream of arrows stabbed Zhao Ting, and the clusters of arrows pierced through the cheeks and came out behind the ears.Zhao Yu unexpectedly fought again, and finally broke through the defense and captured the city gate.

Most of Qi Yingyang's soldiers were killed or injured in an instant.But these soldiers are all local grain shooting troops, and they are either relatives or neighbors and friends, and they have a close relationship. Up to this time, they are still fighting to the death in various lanes in the city.

The two generals Yang Wan and Zhao Yu fought fiercely with him all night, and the next day they dispatched troops to ascend the city, and then set fire to the city.Qi Yingyang and the other three could no longer hold on, and when they tried to stand out of the city, they were held back.

Since ancient times, surrendered generals have hoped that the more surrendered generals like them, the better, so Yang Wan came forward to recruit them.Qi Yingyang's guards slacked off a bit, and violently seized the spear and killed several people in a row. Finally, he, Yang Minzhong and Zhang Qilu died of exhaustion.

By the end of September, the whole territory of Zizhou was lost.

The area controlled by the Mongolian army has been deeply wedged into Shandong East Road, with Yidu in the east and Juzhou in the south.

Wanyan Sala, who was in Yidu, frantically dispatched troops and dispatched tens of thousands of horses under his command in Yidu to run around like a spinning top.At the same time, letters for help to Laizhou changed from one every two days to one per day, and finally two per day.

These letters were all thrown aside by Guo Ning.

As the chief general, he must stay awake at all times.He is not afraid of fighting, but he will not send soldiers to cover the tens of thousands of Wanyan Sala's tanks.

If fighting is compared to playing chess, the Mongols' chariots, horses and guns have not moved, and Guo Ning naturally reined in his troops to occupy the fortress. Let's first look at the methods of the pawns.
