August 12, the first year of Yongping.
It was barely an hour after daybreak. After lighting a fire and having a meal, Dalong's soldiers and horses immediately launched a vigorous and resolute attack on the city.
The rumbling war drums outside Daizhou City announced that Dalong's 250,000 troops stationed outside the city were definitely not just for show.
Wanyan Chizha held the telescope and looked at the dragon soldiers and horses outside the city who were starting to set up an siege formation. He sighed silently and looked around with the telescope.
Seeing the cannons being pushed towards the city wall, covered by sword and shield soldiers, Wanyan Chizha put down his telescope with a solemn expression and waved the command flag in his hand.
"Instruction, the officers and soldiers of the three armies immediately retreat to the city ladder and attach themselves to the city wall. They must not stay on the city wall."
"It's an order."
After two sticks of incense, Jiang Lei ran towards Young Master Liu with his command flag in hand.
"Commander Qi, artillery has been deployed at the three city gates in the east, west and south. They can bombard Daizhou at any time, but it's just on the city wall..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to signal Jiang Lei not to say anything, put down the telescope in his hand and sighed.
"I have seen it. It seems that this old man Wanyan Chizha has learned his lesson and knows how to effectively withstand artillery fire."
"Baoyu, the situation of the scout investigation should be correct. The people of Jin Kingdom should have evacuated northward in large numbers, right?"
"Don't worry, Commander. Our scout brothers will not pass the information back if they are not 100% sure of what they have detected."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently: "In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about."
"Sound the horn and bombard Daizhou."
"It's an order."
"Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu, follow orders!"
"The end will be here."
"Catapults and rocket vehicles are all ready for battle. Once the enemy attempts to board the city, they will immediately cooperate with artillery to kill the enemy on the city wall."
"The last general takes orders."
"Feng Buer obeys the order."
"The general is here!"
"Lead your troops to launch a feint attack on Daizhou after the first round of artillery bombardment, luring the enemy to the city to defend. If the enemy does climb the city to defend, stop the feint immediately to prevent them from accidentally falling into the bombing range of the artillery brothers."
"It's an order."
Within a few seconds, the sound of rumbling artillery fire rang out outside Daizhou City, and a flaming shell flew out of the barrel and shot towards the city wall.
After the first round of test firing, the sound of a charge of troops led by Feng Buer could be heard outside Daizhou City.
Wanyan Chizha looked at the general beside him who was trying to rush to the city wall to defend, and pressed him down with his big hand.
"Don't act rashly. This is a tactic used by the enemy to lure them. As soon as we go up, the enemy's artillery fire will come. Stay obediently under the city wall. You are not allowed to climb the city wall without my command."
The general nodded with lingering fear: "The last general will receive the order."
Wanyan Chiezha was worthy of his long experience in battles, and he instantly guessed Young Master Liu's intention. However, Wanyan Chiezha forgot that he was incapable of doing all the work, and not every city wall could be built by himself.
From the east and west city walls, there was a sound of gunfire mixed with the sounds of killing, which made Wanyan Chizha's expression change in shock.
He knew that the soldiers on the east and west walls must have been fooled and climbed up to defend the city, otherwise the dragon's artillery had been silent for a long time and would not have suddenly fired.
"Commander, go quickly to the east and west city gates to convey my command. War drums are the order. Without the sound of drums, all soldiers and horses are not allowed to mount the city wall to defend."
"It's an order."
Wanyan Chizha sighed with a sad expression. Based on the intensity of artillery fire on the east and west city walls just now, he knew that the number of soldiers killed by the dragon's artillery fire must not be a small number.
"Commander, your Majesty's golden eagle delivers a message."
Wanyan Chiezha took the letter and started reading it. After a long time, Wanyan Chiezha had a surprised look on his face, and he hesitated for a moment before putting away the letter.
"Reply to His Majesty, I understand."
"Got the order!"
On August 16, the first year of Dalong Yongping, under the intense attack of Dalong soldiers and horses, Wanyan Chiezha, who had defended Daizhou for five days, led his garrison with heavy casualties to withdraw from Daizhou and retreat towards Muzhou. .
Only a state gate was left that was damaged by artillery bombardment. After Liu Mingzhi led his troops into the city, he looked at the devastated Daizhou City and sighed twice, without saying anything.
However, although Daizhou was captured, Cheng Kai brought some bad news after investigating Daizhou.
Daizhou became an empty city. Apart from the corpses of the Jin Kingdom's dead soldiers, there was almost nothing useful left, especially the most important food and grass.
Not a single particle of Daizhou's treasury was left after being transported by Wanyan Chizha and the remaining soldiers under his command.
Liu Mingzhi watched silently as he handed the strategy in his hand to Du Yu who was standing aside.
"I didn't expect that this old guy Wanyan Chizha would one day abandon the city and run away. It's really beyond my expectation."
"Instruct the three armies to take a short rest and rush directly to Muzhou."
"It's an order."
After the fall of Daizhou, Liu Mingzhi led his troops straight to Muzhou where Wanyan Chizha had evacuated.
However, something happened that puzzled his soldiers. On August 18, the army rushed outside Muzhou City, but the sun was high. After a short rest, they could bombard Muzhou.
However, the commander told him that there would be a one-day truce and the whole army would be ready to move freely.
Dalong soldiers and horses, who had no idea what the commander was thinking, had no choice but to stop their siege and repair outside Muzhou City.
At the same time, Song Qing, who had just captured Jizhou, also received a letter from Liu Dashao, calling for a one-day truce and stopping the attack on Jinzhou.
Although Song Qing was puzzled, he had no choice but to obey the order.
For a time, the Jin Kingdom, which was full of smoke, had a rare peace for a day because of Young Master Liu's order.
Liu Mingzhi leaned under the plane tree outside the camp, drinking wine and staring at the northern sky in a daze.
To put it bluntly, this is the only gift Liu Mingzhi can give you!
Liu Mingzhi is not a murderous person, but now that this game of chess has been played, Liu Mingzhi has no way of turning back.
To put it bluntly, you said that we have always been the same people, and maybe one day you will understand my behavior.
Thinking about his thoughts in his mind, Liu Mingzhi took a sip of wine, and did not mind the dust on the ground. He fell straight to the ground and curled up and fell asleep.
He is too tired.
It’s really tiring to calculate too much.
The busy and troubled Queen who was far away in the Kingdom of Jin received an anonymous letter. When she saw the content of the letter, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know whether she should be sad or happy.
The man who was leading an army to attack his country actually remembered that August 18th was his birthday.
And because today we stopped using troops for one day.
At this moment, the Queen really doesn't know how to describe her current mood.
A ruthless act, a sentimental person, what kind of boundaries should be used to describe this person.
The Queen put away the letter bitterly and hurried towards the Hall of Light without stopping.
Is there anything more important to me at the moment than protecting my country and country?
August 18th, a day that confused the 500,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom, passed quietly as the sun rose the next day.
The dragon soldiers and horses began to attack the city in full swing amidst the sound of war drums and horns.
This fight lasted for two months.
