There is no doubt that the Liberation Army won a great victory.
They completely annihilated a huge military group of nearly 500,000 people that the Jin army went south to conquer, and won a complete victory.
They obtained a large number of captures and seizures from the Jin army's siege camp, signing army camp and cavalry camp outside the city.
In contrast, the number of enemies killed is a bit worth mentioning.
In the entire Battle of Licheng, more than 30,000 people of the Jin Army died due to various reasons, and only half of the people died due to direct combat with the Liberation Army. The people who died due to various other reasons accounted for the rest. Half way down.
Of course, this is not very important.
The important thing is that the amount captured by the Liberation Army was too great.
The signing army captured more than 110,000 people, the civilians captured more than 170,000 people, the Jin army captured more than 60,000 soldiers, and more than 150,000 intact war horses were obtained.
This is already a huge capture.
As for the seizures, they were completely piled up.
The seizure of military weapons directly transformed the Liberation Army from a moderate military group to a super military group. The level of violence directly crushed any armed force in East Asia at the same time.
The seizure of other daily necessities made the Liberation Army's mouth full of food. If the mountains of coins, gold, silver, and jewelry were directly put into the market, it would immediately cause inflation.
It can be said that the tight finances of the Liberation Army were greatly relieved after this battle. The officials of the Food and Pay Department, represented by Lin Jingchun, smiled broadly and their faces were full of the joy of victory.
After the material seizures were over, what was left was a blow to the ruling class of the Jin Kingdom.
According to the accounts of the captured Jin general Wanyan Yiying and others, the Jin army moved southward and had thirty-two armies. Each army had a general manager and a deputy general manager, which equaled a total of sixty-four senior officers at the general manager level.
In addition to these sixty-four people, there were six leading military governors, deputy governors and governors, plus the emperor Wanyan Liang, a total of seventy-one people.
These seventy-one people are the top military leaders of the Jin Army's southward legion, and they are almost half of the professional and powerful people in the Jin Army. Except for a few of these people who have not been heard from, half are dead and half are captured. .
More than half of the Jin Kingdom's military sky collapsed, leaving only a small part still lingering.
In terms of military strength, all the soldiers were wiped out, the 80,000 cavalry were almost wiped out, and the total number of reserve military forces exceeded 300,000, with 280,000 remaining.
The military and reserve forces of Yanyun, Liaodong, and Hedong of the Jin Kingdom were almost completely destroyed.
Regardless of whether the fighting soldiers, the descendants represented by the signing army and the civilian husbands were destroyed in the first battle, all were obtained by the Liberation Army. The remaining military strength of the Jin Kingdom was probably the fighting soldiers that destroyed the Khitan army in Liaodong, and The border defense troops under Kong Yanzhou on Nanjing Road and the Jin Army in Guanzhong.
Kong Yanzhou's army was still stretched to guard against the Southern Song Dynasty. The Jin Army in Guanzhong had to guard against not only the Song Army in Sichuan and Sichuan, but also the Xixia Army. These two sides were unable to move at all.
The remaining Jin army in Liaodong will not have more than 50,000 regular soldiers. As long as they are not given three to five years to recuperate, they will not be able to raise another main field army.
Seizing this opportunity to enter Liaodong in one fell swoop, the few remaining regular troops of the Jin Kingdom had absolutely no sufficient resistance against the more than 200,000 troops of the Guangfu Army who had won a great victory.
The land of Yanyun must be captured by the Liberation Army, and Zhongdu must be captured by the Liberation Army, so it will not be difficult to march into Liaodong in the future.
The day is not far away when the Kingdom of Jin will be completely replaced and the hegemony of the Central Plains will be established. The Liberation Army will become the hegemon of the Central Plains just around the corner.
After reviewing everything about this war from the time Su Yonglin arrived in Licheng, from noon to midnight, Su Yonglin finally cleared away all the doubts, and all the details were explained.
From this, Su Yonglin determined that the Liberation Army had completely gained the upper hand in the military struggle against the Jin Kingdom. The situation of both sides had reversed, and the strength of the two sides had reversed.
He rubbed his eyes tiredly, looked at the large group of subordinates looking at him with burning eyes, smiled, and waved his hands.
"Celebrate."
"oh!!!!!"
The subordinates finally cheered and wildly released the emotions they had suppressed for six hours.
That night, no one in Licheng slept.
All the soldiers of the Liberation Army were celebrating their victory.
And all the prisoners watched helplessly as the Liberation Army celebrated their victory, and they didn't know whether it was envy, hatred, regret or fear in their eyes.
People sang and danced, ate and drank, and set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate their great victory.
They were singing, dancing, or wrestling with each other, laughing and crying while fighting.
Or hold your head and cry, crying for the family members or comrades who have lost, crying for the fact that they were not able to see the victory with their own eyes.
At the peak of the celebration, in the sea of joy, Su Yonglin, who had drunk a little wine, came to the old place on the wall of Licheng. He stood there alone and looked north, with a calm face, neither happy nor sad.
It was Tian Guizi who came over, holding a glass of wine in his hand and walked to Su Yonglin's side.
"Alang, everyone is celebrating, why don't you come to celebrate? We won a big victory, which is a great thing. We won, Alang! It's time to celebrate! We must celebrate!"
Tian Qizi, who had always been calm, could not bear to feel excited at this moment.
The huge military force of the Jin Army had been pressing on his head and he couldn't even breathe easily. Once they were overturned and he could breathe freely, one can imagine the excitement in Tian Guizi's heart.
But Su Yonglin stayed away from the crowd and came to the tower alone, looking towards the north.
Seeing Tian Qizi's excited look and drunken eyes, Su Yonglin also smiled.
"Everyone is celebrating and drinking, so someone has to stay sober, right? Not even one sober person can do it."
“Alang, it’s not about this moment either!”
Tian Guizi chuckled and handed the glass of wine in his hand to Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin nodded and took it, drank it down in one gulp, and then placed the wine glass on the city wall.
"Youyou Qingshi told me that whenever we achieve big achievements and celebrate big, someone must stay calm and worry, and cannot be as happy as others and forget about the environment we are in.
Even if everyone is celebrating victory and everyone feels that we are bound to win, there must be someone who is responsible for singing the opposite. This person must think of all the terrible situations that may happen. "
Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said slowly: "We have not yet achieved complete victory. We have not yet truly overthrown Jin Ting, seized all its territory, and completely destroyed the Jin Kingdom, Kaifeng, Guanzhong, Hedong, Liaodong, and Jin Dynasty. The country still has land that we have not occupied.
When we want to kill thieves, we must kill them all. We must not leave any harm behind. When we have done all we can to eliminate evil, no one can be left behind. Those who should be liquidated must be liquidated to the end, and we must not hold back any of them. Every time we slack off or be soft-hearted, we are doing nothing to those who have died in the battle. Insult and betrayal from fellow comrades! "
Su Yonglin clenched his fists.
Tian Guizi was stunned for a while, and in the cold wind blowing from the top of the city, his burning heart and head gradually cooled down.
"What Alang said is that we have not yet completely won, and we cannot completely relax and celebrate."
"So, tell me what we should do next?"
Su Yonglin looked at Tian Qizi with a smile.
Tian Guizi thought for a moment.
"It's time to move forward and open the seal."
"Yes, not quite."
Su Yonglin smiled and turned around, pointing to the north: "We not only want to capture Kaifeng, but also Yanyun, recapture the Great Wall, and establish a complete northern defense line so that Hebei no longer needs to be a war front.
Then there is Hedong, Liaodong, and Guanzhong! We must work together to wipe out all the golden thieves and destroy the Kingdom of Jin to the point where not even the dregs are left! Tear it up completely, eat it, and build a brand new kingdom! Then! Destroy the Song Dynasty! Destroy summer! Destroy Goryeo! Destroy Dali! Destroy Xiliao! "
Su Yonglin gritted his teeth and punched the city wall with his fists: "I want this divided world to be reunited! There are no two masters in the world!"
"No, it's not enough. It's not enough to dominate the world!"
"I want all the people who are suffering in the world to live like human beings! I want to give them peace! Give them a stable life! I want everyone to no longer have to suffer! No longer have to be forced to rebel in order to have a full meal. !”
"How big is this world? Gezi, this world is so big. It's tens of thousands of miles in circumference. How many people live in this world? How many people are suffering like us in the past?"
"Is it enough that the people in Hebei and Shandong can have enough to eat without having to kneel down and beg? Not enough, far from enough! How many people have died in the war since the Liberation Army started? How about a hundred thousand, right? One hundred thousand lives , in exchange for these?”
"Quizi, I want everyone in this world to not have to kneel, but to stand, sit, and be full even if they are lying down! Only in this way will my visit to this world be worthwhile!"
"No one can take away the foundation that I and all the soldiers of the Liberation Army have worked hard to build, and no one can take advantage of it. If anyone dares to reach out, I will chop off his hand!"
"This is what I want to do. Compared with these things, where have we been? Gezi, what do you think? Where have we been?"
Su Yonglin calmed down his emotions, then laughed loudly, walked up to Tian Qizi and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go together, make the day brighter, make the cold wind warmer, make the barren land full of crops, make the empty stomach full, until then, we can stop and look back Look at what we've done and then celebrate."
After saying that, Su Yonglin walked forward.
Tian Qizi stood there in silence for a while, turned around with burning eyes, and quickly caught up with Su Yonglin.
He knew it, he always knew it.
This man's steps are worth following for a lifetime.
