Soon, Wan Yanliang led his troops to arrive outside Boye City, combined his main army with He Shi Lieliangbi's army, and issued the emperor's order.
The soldiers were asked to conduct a unique on-site teaching on the construction of Jingguan outside Boye City.
There is no doubt that this makes the Jin soldiers who are a little suppressed very excited.
The golden soldiers, who were about to explode suppressed by the defeats on the battlefield, almost couldn't wait to behead their assigned "prisoners", that is, the men, women, old and children who had lost their shelter in the Wubao.
Some felt uncomfortable beheading, so they chopped off a few more times, or kicked the person to the ground, stabbed them hard with the knife, and enjoyed the screams.
They carried out the killing in a safe place. In anger, the soldiers of the Liberation Army in the city cocked the largest eight-oxen crossbow to the maximum, and the big arrows roared, but still failed to hit them.
So the Jin soldiers laughed, pointed at the Liberation Army in the city and made fun of them, and then continued to push the men, women, old and children forward and kill them one by one.
The soldiers in the city couldn't restrain their anger and strongly demanded an attack. Even Zhang Changli couldn't hold back. He cursed and wanted to lead his troops to attack and kill all those bastard gold thieves.
They were stopped by Jiang Yu.
"You are happy, what will happen to the 100,000 people in the city? You opened the city gate and attacked, thinking that the tens of thousands of gold thieves outside did not exist, right? Why did they do this? Isn't it just to stimulate us to go out?
If you attack now, they will immediately send cavalry to seize the city gate. It doesn't matter if you die outside, what will happen to the 100,000 people inside the city? Um? what to do? You answer me! what to do? ! "
Jiang Yu was furious and roared angrily, scolding Zhang Changli for being unorganized and undisciplined. The soldiers were impulsive, and he, the guard general, was also impulsive.
How can you take on such a big responsibility if you are so impulsive?
Zhang Changli and the soldiers were scolded so hard that they could not hold their heads up.
Later, a soldier asked Jiang Yu while wiping his tears.
"Are we really going to watch like that? Watching our fellow villagers being killed by the golden thief?"
Jiang Yu bit his back molars, clenched his fists, and spoke a few words from between his teeth.
"Watch and remember, pay back tenfold!"
For the sake of victory, be patient and pay back tenfold after victory.
Boye garrison remembered.
After the massacre was over and heads were piling up, the Jin army followed the emperor's next instructions and swaggered to build the Jingguan.
They used lime to embalm the skulls, and then piled the skulls one by one into a tower shape to build the famous "Jingguan". They even added bricks and tiles according to their own artistic pursuits and made some unique shapes.
Throughout the whole process, the Boye defenders did not take any action.
As for Wan Yanliang, he set up a table of food and wine outside the city, and drank by himself, watching the massacre and the formation of a Beijing temple from scratch.
It seemed that Wan Yanliang was drinking with the pain of these dead people and was enjoying himself.
Heshi Lieliangbi stood beside Wanyan Benjian, not far from Wanyanliang. He felt very complicated as he watched Wanyanliang drinking one cup after another towards Boyecheng.
"Old General, do you think we are doing this right?"
Wanyan Benjian looked at He Shi Lieliangbi and knew that he was a civil servant and had studied Sinology since he was a child. He had never experienced the hardships at the grassroots level in the army, so he still retained a basic conscience and could not stand certain situations on the battlefield. .
As a veteran who had been in the army since childhood, Wanyan Benjian was already used to all this.
In response, Wanyan Benjian just sighed slightly.
"When marching and fighting, you should give up all illusions and don't think about things that are not related to the war. Everything is unimportant, as long as you can win."
"Can you do anything to win?"
"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be done in order to win. People will only remember the glory of the winner, but because no one will speak for the loser."
Wanyan Benjian just shook his head and said: "There is another more important thing. If the leader is the emperor, just follow his wishes and don't object."
Heshi Lieliangbi was silent for a long time and did not speak again.
The Beijing-building Watch Operation lasted for one day and one night. Wan Yanliang ate two dinners and one midnight snack in front of this bloody scene, then slept again, and finally announced that the operation was over.
Although it was a pity that the Boyecheng defenders showed no signs of attacking, Wan Yanliang also achieved another goal - to stimulate morale.
The main force of the Jin army swept away the low mood of previous defeat and became high-spirited. Wan Yanliang took the opportunity to reward the captured money to the army. The soldiers were delighted and shouted long live.
He knew that Jin Jun's low mood and vague resentment towards him had disappeared, and that the army would be very obedient to orders for a period of time.
He needs to make good use of this period of time and continue to move southward at a rapid pace.
Wanyan Liang made the tactical strategy discussed between him and Wanyan Benjian public to the public, discussed it with the generals on Heshi Lieliangbi's side, and then decided to gather the cavalry and use it, forming a terrifying torrent of war horses, heading south to destroy Guangfu. The depth of the army.
After a month of siege operations, the Jin army lost more than 7,000 soldiers and horses. Adding in the wounded and dead in the past month, the loss of soldiers exceeded 10,000.
Counting those who were injured but lost their combat effectiveness, Wan Yanliang's army as the main force and He Shi Lieliangbi's army, the total number of soldiers was less than 100,000.
This is a big problem for Wan Yanliang.
He didn't expect that a siege could reach this point.
However, there will be no such high-intensity siege operations after that. The next step is to change the attack posture, use encirclement and defense as a tactic, create opportunities for the cavalry to break through, break through to Shandong in one fell swoop, attack the headquarters of the Liberation Army, and find the main force of the Liberation Army for a decisive battle. .
In mid-December, Wan Yanliang left five thousand troops, consisting of a small number of regular soldiers and a large number of sign troops, to surround and defend Boye City and cut off traffic inside and outside Boye City.
Just like what they did in River City.
However, Hejian City was a big city, and Wan Yanliang left 10,000 soldiers, which was also a combination of a small number of regular soldiers and a large number of signed troops.
He believed that this was enough to ensure the safety of his retreat and food routes.
Subsequently, the Jin army began to move further south, including Anping, Raoyang, Shulu, Wuqiang and other places, and basically controlled Shenzhou.
However, just like the situation we faced before, the four counties have been completely cleared. Apart from the empty cities, there are only powerful forts scattered in the countryside.
The regular troops of the Liberation Army were ready in Jing'an County.
The previous conclusion that the Jin Army's decision-makers gradually reached about the Liberation Army's large-scale campaign to strengthen the wall and clear the field has been basically recognized as true. The Liberation Army really intends to use the grand tactic of strengthening the wall and clearing the field to counter the Jin Army's cavalry advantage.
According to the worst prediction made by Wanyan Benjian, the Liberation Army may even treat the entire Hebei Province as a buffer zone, concentrating troops, population and supplies on only some cities for defense, forcing the Jin Army to engage in offensive and defensive battles. .
In this way, the Jin Army's cavalry advantage will be invisibly offset, and the Jin Army will exhaust its troops and food in endless city offensive and defensive battles, leading to a tragic failure.
According to conventional wisdom, the Jin Army always has to capture some cities. If they don't capture it, there will be many dangers. However, once the Liberation Army uses the entire Hebei as a buffer, the Jin Army will be completely passive.
The main field force of the Liberation Army is not yet known where. The Jin Army has already suffered a bloody blow under the city and is powerless against the Grand Strategy of the Liberation Army.
Faced with this terrible prediction, the tactics proposed by Heshi Lieliangbi and Wanyan Benjian were the only tactics currently available to the Jin Army.
Although this is also a gamble, it is better than knowing that you have failed before even getting to the gambling table.
And many people know that it is impossible for Emperor Wan Yanliang to accept the suggestion of withdrawing his troops and returning to the court. If he does not open up the situation in Hebei and Shandong and gain prestige, it is very questionable whether Wan Yanliang can continue to be emperor.
Smart people understand this truth, but don’t dare to say it. Foolish people don’t understand this truth, but they also know that city offensive and defensive battles are particularly difficult to fight.
Wan Yanliang's 80,000 female real soldiers were beaten and bloody at the foot of Hejian City. Who can guarantee that Jing'an City can be conquered in one go?
So it should be time to implement Wanyan Benjian's siege assault tactics.
