In fact, Jin Bing also learned well.
Because the coastal areas could not be fully defended, they had to select the most important coastal areas of Daxing Prefecture to defend to prevent the Liberation Army from directly attacking Zhongdu.
Not only that, they also learned to use smoke and beacon fire, and quickly lit the smoke or beacon fire once they were attacked by the Liberation Army.
In addition, there are layers of camps, and the military camps are arranged in layers. After the first layer is hit, the military camps behind have time to react and can react in time to prepare for defense.
Judging from their experience in several battles with the Liberation Army, the attack by the Liberation Army's navy was relatively sudden and short.
They usually only attack once when the raid is successful, and will not continue to attack after the first attack is successful. They pay attention to stopping when they are good, so the unlucky ones are usually the military camps with lax defenses on the outermost perimeter.
After the outer military camps are attacked, the military camps behind them will often react quickly and prepare for defense. Such layer-by-layer defenses, coupled with the smoke and beacon fire, although they are still passively beaten, can generally ensure the safety of the rear. .
After they implement such a defensive strategy, the surprise attack of the Liberation Army's navy cannot really threaten Zhongdu.
To this end, Wan Yanliang probably mobilized more than 13,000 soldiers for defense, further reducing the number of troops that could be taken south to conquer Hebei.
He was very angry but couldn't do anything about it.
Fortunately, not long after the attack, around October 15th, there was good news from Yelu Yuanyi.
Yelu Yuanyi successfully captured Wen'an County and Dacheng County in Bazhou, defeated the nearly 10,000 troops of the Liberation Army stationed there, and achieved a brilliant victory.
He requested that this victory be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, and wished His Majesty the Emperor a successful southern expedition and a glorious triumph.
Wan Yanliang was very happy and immediately ordered a generous reward for Yelu Yuanyi, encouraging him to continue his efforts and create greater glory.
Then he made this matter public, letting everyone know that his southern expedition vanguard had achieved a brilliant victory and defeated the legendary Liberation Army with strong combat effectiveness.
Then he further believed that it was not that the Jin army could not fight, but that the general was too weak. If the general was weak, the army would be dragged to death no matter how hard it fought. It was the so-called incompetence of one general that exhausted the three armies.
So to sum up, Wanyan Alin is a waste, and Yelu Yuanyi is the great golden general.
And the Daijin army is still invincible and powerful!
Wan Yanliang said a lot of such lies, and even covered up the fact that the Liberation Army repeatedly attacked the coast of Daxing Prefecture and caused many casualties to the Jin Army.
In this regard, the sober-minded ministers chose to report to Wan Yanliang and persuade him not to be too happy too early. The Liberation Army did not hurt the foundation at all, and the naval forces continued to attack. This is enough to show that Yelu Yuanyi's small victory was not enough. To praise to this extent.
The Liberation Army still had room to spare and did not suffer any serious damage at all.
But Wan Yanliang didn't care. He needed victory. Mosquito meat was also meat. He himself knew that this small victory could not change the battlefield situation, but no matter what, it was a victory.
Victory is better than failure.
Relying on this "victory", Wan Yanliang also temporarily suppressed the forces in the DPRK and China that were dissatisfied with him.
As a result, within a few days, on October 17, the news came that the Liberation Army attacked Baoding and destroyed a large amount of grain for the Southern Expedition.
The Liberation Army's counterattack and revenge came very quickly, so fast that Wan Yanliang had no time to dodge, so Wan Yanliang's cheeks were almost swollen.
Baoding is an important advance reserve base for the Jin Army. A large amount of grain was transported to Baoding before dispatching to be transported to the south. These grains were not only rations for the vanguard army, but also a lot of rations for the main force behind. The attack here was very serious.
That is to say, the Baoding defenders closed the city gate in time without causing greater irreparable losses, otherwise the battle would not have been fought.
Without enough food to eat, the number of the army going south will be reduced. If the number is reduced, it will be difficult to win against the Liberation Army. If it is difficult to win, then why fight?
It's better not to fight.
Now it can only be said that the minimum conditions for entry can be maintained. This makes Wan Yanliang feel that his face is swollen, but at the same time he also gets some comfort.
But the next news really hit his proud self-confidence, and drew blood from his already swollen face.
On October 19, news came back that the vanguard army Yelu Yuanyi's entire army was annihilated in Dacheng.
The news came back from Baoding's Logistics and Food Corps. When they anxiously went to open up food transportation channels, they learned that the vanguard army was surrounded and annihilated by the Liberation Army in Dacheng. The entire army was wiped out. It is said that all those who deserved to die were killed in the battle. Those who died in battle were basically captured.
Only a few hundred lucky people escaped.
When this news came, the government and the public in the Kingdom of Jin were shocked. The civil servants and military generals lost their calm. They felt a cool breeze whizzing through their backs, and an unreasonable chill penetrated their souls.
To put it simply - scared.
This is not the first time.
This is the second time.
The regular Jin Army, which was organized for the second time, was defeated and annihilated when facing the Liberation Army.
The fully organized Jin Army was large in number, fairly well equipped, and fully organized. However, the fully organized Jin Army was completely wiped out.
Wanyan Alin had the demeanor of a famous general, but his entire army was wiped out and he died.
Now it was Yelu Yuanyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had just won a battle and was appointed as a famous general by the emperor, but he was destroyed by the Liberation Army in the blink of an eye.
Now it seems that Yelu Yuanyi's previous victory was most likely due to the Liberation Army's attempt to lure the enemy deeper, rather than the outstanding record of Yelu Yuanyi, a so-called famous general.
This was simply a deliberate show of weakness by the Liberation Army to lure Yelu Yuanyi into their trap.
No one knows what Wan Yanliang is thinking. Everyone only knows that the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army is extraordinary. An army of usually 20,000 to 30,000 people can no longer do anything to them, and there is even a risk of being annihilated.
The Liberation Army has broken away from the category of a bandit army and has the demeanor of a regular army.
At this time, someone thought of Wen Dun Sizhong's previous comments about Su Yonglin and the Liberation Army - Yue Fei and his army.
The government and the public were talking about this matter, but this incident brought about a result that surprised even Wan Yanliang.
The strong and good fighting skills of the Liberation Army made the civil servants and generals of the Jin Kingdom feel a real threat. They were frightened by it. They were afraid that if the Liberation Army continued to be strong, they could really invade Yanyun and overthrow Jinting, and take away everything they have now. Take away.
They were all afraid.
Really scared.
This moment is no longer the time for a battle of wills, it is the time to unite and completely eliminate the Liberation Army.
This cannot be delayed.
So the civil servants and military generals came to the table to offer advice and suggestions, providing the best suggestions they could think of for the emperor's southern expedition, and strongly requested the emperor to dispatch the most elite troops and horses to annihilate and devour the Liberation Army in one fell swoop.
The Liberation Army must be eliminated before it has the strength to overthrow Jin Ting.
We must use absolute strength superiority to crush the Liberation Army into dregs, then kill them all, and use physical extermination to make the threat of the Liberation Army no longer exist!
Wan Yanliang was stunned at these suggestions which basically came from the Jurchen tribe officials.
He originally thought that this defeat would make these Jurchen bureaucrats who he had never dealt with become more afraid of the Liberation Army, but he did not expect that fear would not only bring about shrinkage, but also the strange courage to make a last stand before shrinking.
This kind of courage inexplicably consolidated Wan Yanliang's status. Civil servants and military generals had no time to argue with Wan Yan Liang about his status. They only hoped that Wan Yan Liang would immediately come up with countermeasures to completely eliminate the Liberation Army.
This is an unexpected gain.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that the courtiers sensed Wen Dun Sizhong's foresight and asked Wan Yanliang to re-activate Wen Dun Sizhong, so that the mature and prudent Wen Dun Sizhong could come up with a strategy to deal with the Liberation Army.
Although the ministers needed Wanyan Liang's force, they did not trust Wanyan Liang's wisdom and strategy, so they needed a more reliable candidate to provide a plan and let Wanyan Liang follow it.
Although Wan Yanliang was not happy about this, the political pressure was too great and he had no better way but to compromise.
Wen Dunsizhong, who had been under house arrest for several months, was finally released and was summoned into the palace by the emperor's carriage to discuss state affairs with the emperor.
