Watching our own soldiers fall off the city wall one after another.
Lin Daiyu's little face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.
This kind of battle was so brutal, it was almost like going to die.
Turning his head to look at Jia Cong, he saw that his face was calm and calm, without any strange look on his face.
Looking at the people around him, he still couldn't help but whisper: "Commander, if we attack the city like this, the losses will be too great. It seems like we can't attack the city like this. Wouldn't these people's deaths be in vain?"
Jia Cong looked away from the battlefield and sighed softly.
"Once a general achieves great success, there will be no one left alive in battle. This is just a trial. This will happen every day. If you can't accept it, I'll ask Qingwen to send you back to Liaoyang."
Lin Daiyu shook her head: "No, I won't go back. I'm just worried that I won't be able to capture Shenyang if this continues."
Jia Cong smiled: "Don't worry, I already have a plan, but in the first few days, I have to give them some confidence, paralyze them, and make them think that we can't conquer Shenyang. When they relax, I will really take action." when."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "You want to use conspiracy and tricks to deal with them again?"
Jia Cong nodded: "Soldiers are deceitful, so they can show their inability to use it, use it to show it is not in use, be close to show it is far away, and be far away to show it is close. Use it to lure them, and use chaos to take them. In reality, Be prepared for it, avoid it when you are strong, scratch it when you are angry, be proud of it when you are humble, labor for it when you are lost, get close to it and leave it. Attack it when it is unprepared and surprise it."
The death camp made several more forceful attacks, but ultimately returned without success.
Jia Cong withdrew them, replaced them with another battalion, and continued the attack.
All kinds of siege equipment were pushed up, and from time to time there would be a round of shelling. The battlefield was very fierce.
The fight lasted until evening before Jia Cong ordered the troops to withdraw and return to camp.
On the second day, the battle continued.
In the next few days, it was like this every day. The two sides fought fiercely and suffered heavy casualties.
However, there has been no substantial progress.
As a result, both sides have fallen into a war of fuel.
······
The sacred city, the imperial palace, and the royal study.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Wang Bao.
"Jia Cong's army has arrived at Shenyang City. I wonder if there is a fight now. Do you have any information about that side in the past two days?"
Wang Bao cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to your majesty, Xiuyiwei just sent news in the morning. On April 1st, King Liaodong launched a siege. King Liaodong forcibly attacked the city for several days, but all failed. Moreover, there were heavy casualties, and the battle situation was not ideal.”
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but frowned.
In his eyes, Jia Cong has always been invincible and invincible.
When I suddenly heard such a result, I felt very uncomfortable.
There was even some worry in my heart that Jia Cong would suffer a defeat, be completely defeated, and be driven out of Liaodong by the barbarians again.
However, now he can only wait, without any energy at all.
"Inform the embroidered guards in Liaodong and ask them to send back the battle reports in time every day. I want to know the situation of the battle in Liaodong as soon as possible. In addition, go and find Li Aiqing, the Minister of War, and several ministers from the cabinet. , I have something to ask you."
"My servant obeys your orders."
Wang Bao agreed and exited the imperial study.
After about a cup of tea, Hu Yong, Li Rong, Li Guanglu and others hurried over.
"Your majesty, I see you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The emperor waved his hand: "Everyone, I love you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After several people finished saluting, they each stood up.
The emperor looked at Li Guanglu: "Li Aiqing, do you know anything about the battle situation in Liaodong? I heard that Jia Aiqing was blocked by barbarians at the foot of Shenyang City. The battle situation is very unfavorable. What can you do about it?"
Li Guanglu cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, the secret agents of the Ministry of War also sent back the news of the Shenyang Battle. It is indeed as your Majesty said.
It is said that the battle situation in Shenyang was very unfavorable. The King of Liaodong fought fiercely for several days, but there was no obvious result, but heavy losses.
However, siege battles are always like this, and the siege party suffers the most. I heard that the barbarians have 200,000 troops defending the city. With the army of the King of Liaodong, it is really difficult to capture Shenyang. The veteran said this The first battle is not very promising. "
Hu Yong also said: "I didn't expect that the barbarians would send out an army of 200,000. This battle is really not easy to fight. If we lose, the losses will be too great, and I am afraid that even the defense will be a little weak."
The emperor sighed: "In the past, when I saw Jia Aiqing winning easily, I wanted to urge him to get Shenyang back as soon as possible. I was too anxious. How should we deal with this situation now?"
Several people looked at each other, but there was no good solution.
It was Li Guanglu who said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, we have no good solution. We can only rely on King Liaodong himself. With King Liaodong's combat experience, even if we cannot win, we should be able to retreat safely."
Li Rongdao: "The King of Liaodong never fights an uncertain battle. Now that he has decided to fight, he will not lose. We must believe in his ability."
Hearing what he said and thinking of Jia Cong's achievements, the emperor felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I hope so too. I will notify the intelligence personnel in Liaodong to send back the battle situation there at any time. I want to know the battle report every day."
"I obey your orders."
······
Liaodong, in the city of Shenyang.
Since this decisive battle was related to the survival of the clan, Amin personally came to Shenyang to take charge of the battle.
As of today, the two sides have been fighting for seven consecutive days.
Jia Cong's army had suffered 20,000 to 30,000 casualties, while his own side had only suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
If the fight continues like this, Jia Cong will definitely lose.
Thinking of the stakes of this battle, Amin couldn't help but feel excited.
Amin has long been jealous of Jia Cong's thunder and artillery.
It's a pity that Jia Cong didn't leak it at all, and there was nothing he could do about it.
If he wins this battle, he will have artillery and thunder, coupled with the strength of the Mongolian side, under his leadership, he will march across the Central Plains and dominate the world, which will no longer be a dream.
Since Jia Cong has agreed not to interfere in Zhongyuan affairs, I believe he can do what he says.
This guy doesn't seem to have much ambition. If it were him, with his strength, he would have rebelled long ago.
It's really rare that he can endure it all the time.
It's a pity that such a person can't stay and help him.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sigh in my heart.
The emperor of the Central Plains was so heartless and intolerant of others.
At this time, the generals came in one after another.
"The general will finally meet the Great Khan."
Amin waved his hand: "Generals, please stand up."
"Thank you Khan."
All the generals stood up one after another.
"Great Khan, if this continues, our army will definitely win."
"That's right, Jia Cong is nothing special. It seems that he was exaggerated before."
"Jia Cong is counting on artillery attacks. Now that we are in the city, the power of artillery can no longer threaten us, and Jia Cong is at the end of his rope."
"Indeed, once the artillery loses its deterrent effect and our army's combat power is higher than the opponent's, victory is just around the corner."
"It seems that the role of this artillery is just that. With the protection of the city wall, the artillery is of little use."
"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan. As long as we win this battle and win the bet, our clan will take over the Central Plains and dominate the world. It will be just around the corner."
"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan for taking control of the Central Plains, which is just around the corner."
Amin couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"We rejoice together. If that day comes, all the generals are the founding heroes of the country, and they will no longer be granted the title of marquis or Prime Minister.
It's a dream. However, Jia Cong is cunning and cunning, so we cannot be too careless. We will have to rely on the generals for the rest of the war. "
"Don't worry, Khan. After these days of fighting, our numbers have gained an advantage. No matter how talented Jia Cong is, he will never be able to invade Shenyang. We will definitely win this battle."
Everyone is full of confidence in the current battle situation.
The previous fear of artillery has disappeared.
Everyone looked excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
······
Outside Shenyang City, in Jia Cong's Chinese army tent.
All the generals gathered here, all with frowns on their faces.
"Commander, if we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to win Shenyang at all. The final result will be a huge defeat."
"Yes, Marshal, we can't continue fighting like this. If the losses are too great, we won't even be able to protect ourselves. If the barbarians come out in full force, we will only be defeated. I hope Marshal will think twice."
"The current situation cannot continue. We must change our strategy."
"We still have over 100,000 troops behind us, why not bring them over together? More people is always a good thing."
"Commander, do you have a good plan to break the city? It's really not possible to continue fighting like this. Once we lose, the court will definitely hold us accountable. Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Shi Nai was also a little anxious and stood up to persuade.
"Cough, cough."
Jia Cong coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.
"Generals, this is what siege warfare is like. If you want to take back the city, you have to sacrifice your life to do it. Shenyang City has high walls and thick walls, making it easier to defend and harder to attack. It is not an easy task to capture Shenyang. .
I think back then, the barbarians attacked Shenyang several times, but all failed, which also illustrates the difficulty of attacking Shenyang City. The court keeps urging me to send troops, but I have no choice. It has been delayed for a year, and the court will not be happy if it continues. "
Shi Nai said with a worried look: "Commander, we all know this, but if we continue to fight like this, something will really happen."
"okay."
Jia Cong shouted and stopped everyone.
"I have a new plan. Now that I have sent troops, I cannot give up halfway. I have said that I never fight a battle that I am not sure about. Now that I have decided to fight, I have naturally planned everything.
Now everyone goes back and has a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will make food at the third watch, send out troops at the fifth watch, and attack with the whole army to decisively fight Shenyang. Attack the city from three sides together. Success or failure depends on this. We will not give up until we take Shenyang. "
When the generals heard this, they were all stunned.
This is the decisive battle, do you want to be such a childish person?
There has to be a plan, right? Just say it and it’s over?
However, seeing Jia Cong's unquestionable expression, everyone could only obey his orders.
"I will obey the commander's orders."
Jia Cong waved his hand: "I know that you are all confused, but the more people know about the plan, the smaller the chance of success. I believe you all understand this, so execute the order."
"My subordinates obey."
After hearing what Jia Cong said, everyone understood.
Jia Cong must have another plan, but he has always kept it secret from everyone, just like in previous battles.
However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, said their goodbyes and left.
In the big tent, only a few people around Jia Cong were left.
Jia Cong glanced at a few people and said to Li Biao: "Li Biao, when late at night, you are responsible for leading people to put the explosive bags under the city wall. The south city wall, the east city wall, and the west city wall must be used on these three walls. Place enough explosive packs.
After the fifth watch, the three armies arrived and detonated explosive packs together, blowing open the city wall and allowing the three armies to rush into the city. You lead the elite battalion and rush in from the south as soon as possible. "
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates will obey orders and will not disappoint Commander-in-Chief."
Li Biao immediately clasped his fists in salute and accepted Jia Cong's order.
Jia Cong nodded: "Be sure to pay attention to your own safety. You can lead fifty personal guards to follow you."
"Thank you, Commander. I know."
Jia Cong looked at Tie Zhu again: "Tie Zhu, inform the people in Shenyang City to take action tonight. Everything will go according to plan."
"Yes, Marshal, my subordinates will contact the people in the city immediately and inform them of the action tonight."
Tie Zhu agreed, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Qingwen said: "Commander, what are we doing?"
Jia Cong smiled: "Of course we are here to take command. Such a battle would be chaotic if no one is in charge. If you are too idle, I can find you some work."
Qingwen chuckled and said: "Actually, my hands are a little itchy. What does the commander want to do? Could it be that he wants me to kill A Min? I can do this. Killing a big sweat should be enough glory, right?" "
Jia Cong reached out and flicked her head, and laughed and cursed: "What are you thinking? Anyone can kill, but Amin can't. With Amin here, we can quickly control the entire barbarian tribe through Amin. But we have to give Let them see how powerful we are."
Qingwen asked doubtfully: "Commander, what did you ask ***?"
Jia Cong led several people to a sand table. On this sand table was the enemy's layout plan in Shenyang City.
Several camps of the barbarian army, some important government offices, and the residences of some barbarian generals are all clearly visible.
These are all sandboxes made based on the intelligence sent back by the special forces in the city.
Jia Cong pointed to the locations of several military camps and said to Qingwen.
"Qingwen, you lead some personal guards and our new artillery to ambush outside the city. After Li Biao and the others blow up the city wall, you can fire a few cannons at each of the military camps in the city. .
Our purpose is not to kill many people, but to deter them and let them know that even if we don't attack the city, we can kill them all with artillery alone, so that if they lose, some people will be unconvinced. "
"Yes, I will obey."
