Therefore, Youzhou would inevitably be handed over to Wanyan Zongwang.
It was closely connected to the heartland of the Jin Dynasty.
Wanyan Zonghan, in order to gain autonomy
It's also impossible for them to take over Youzhou, which is almost entirely undeveloped.
Chapter Two Thousand: Whoever Conquers It Gets It
If he chooses that place
The Jin dynasty court would not relocate its people here.
Because they were afraid of increasing this guy's strength too much.
Judging solely from the choice of battlefield,
This reflects the internal strife within the Jin state.
This led to the loss of Wanyan Zonghan's elite troops.
They simply cannot unleash their true fighting power.
Day 32 of the siege.
Wanyan Zonghan finally couldn't hold back any longer.
They began to deploy large numbers of Jurchen soldiers to attack the city.
Moreover, they used various methods, such as digging tunnels to enter the city.
Although the defending troops were exhausted,
But it's more than enough to defend the city.
This is one of Zhang Guangdao's military grain bases.
The food supply is enough to feed the garrison for one or two years.
Another day of attacks has come to an end.
Wanyan Zonghan remained expressionless.
He had just received a request for help.
Pingdingjun City is about to succumb to Zhang Guangdao's fierce attack.
Wanyan Loushi said, "The best solution is to abandon the attack on Shanxi."
"Leave only a strong army to guard Yunzhong (Datong)."
"The rest will go to fight in Hebei, where the terrain is open and flat,"
"Our Jurchen cavalry can gallop freely across the land."
"The main force will remain in Shanxi,"
"The enemy is hiding in the city,"
"It all turned into a siege war."
"Go to Hebei to fight,"
"It's about bowing down to Wu Qimai,"
“From now on, we will surely be controlled by him,” Wanyan Zonghan said.
Wanyan Loushi said, "As long as we have a strong army,"
"What can Wu Qimai do to us?"
Wanyan Zonghan finally spoke his mind:
"Shanxi is ours once conquered,"
"They can take Hebei."
Wanyan Loushi was speechless.
Wanyan Zonghan's territory consisted of vast grasslands and northern Shanxi.
He could only continue fighting along the Shanxi border.
No matter how much more Hebei territory is conquered,
If Taiyuan is not captured,
He was always separated from Wanyan Zongwang.
This was tantamount to helping Wanyan Zongwang expand his territory.
Wanyan Zonghan, who was essentially turning into a warlord,
How could I possibly do something that harms myself to benefit others?
Internal strife within the Jin Dynasty
This led to a major strategic blunder in the southward invasion!
According to Zhao Yuan's initial plan,
As long as the Shanxi troops hold Taiyuan
Wanyan Zonghan's army was completely incapable of doing anything.
There's no need to confront them head-on like Zhang Guangdao did.
These nobles of the Jin Dynasty,
That's incredibly arrogant and conceited.
Despite being in complete disarray internally, they still dared to invade the Ming Dynasty from the south.
Wanyan Zonghan seems to have forgotten,
The cities he captured in Shanxi last time
Anything that is tall and sturdy,
None of them were conquered by the superior combat power of the Jin soldiers.
Rather, it was the Song Dynasty that forced the former Liao and Han soldiers to rebel.
These former Liao-Han soldiers were settled in Shanxi.
They might be acting as inside agents.
Or kill the commander-in-chief.
Only then did they manage to capture the city time and time again.
If the Song Dynasty had treated the former Liao and Han soldiers well...
If Song generals did not oppress the former Liao and Han soldiers
Wanyan Zonghan even struggled to conquer northern Shanxi!
I don't remember any of these things.
Wanyan Zonghan wanted to conquer the entire Shanxi province?
Fighting in Shanxi
It's a tower defense game!
Looking at the letter of appeal in his hand,
Looking back at Shouyang City under the setting sun,
Wanyan Zonghan was in a difficult situation and said to Wanyan Loushi:
"You personally led the elite cavalry,"
"Go to the rescue of Pingdingjun City."
"I will continue the attack on Shouyang,"
"We can only do other things after we've taken this place."
That's right, if Shouyang County isn't taken,
It would be dangerous for the main force to go to the Pingding Army for a decisive battle.
Because the geographical conditions were extremely unfavorable to the Jin army.
Taiyuan blocks the way to the west.
Shouyang is in the middle.
The main force of the Jin army wanted to go and pacify the region.
It is necessary to pass through the northern border of Taiyuan.
Then they passed through the northern border of Shouyang.
Then we crossed the mountains.
Chapter 2001 Elite Cavalry
If we're not careful, the supply lines will be cut off!
Of course, grain could also be transported from Jingxing.
But that would mean having to be mindful of Yan Zongwang's attitude.
After nightfall, Wanyan Loushi led his elite cavalry...
They secretly went from the northeast to reinforce the Pingding Army.
Zhang Guangdao put in a lot of effort.
They were afraid they didn't have enough soldiers.
Aside from leaving Guo the Pharmacist to guard the city.
All other troops were deployed to fight a decisive battle against the main Jin army force.
Wanyan Zonghan was quite good,
They dared to divide their troops at will.
They didn't take Zhang Guangdao seriously at all.
These Jin nobles,
It seems they're still playing the classic version.
They encountered Liao soldiers.
Encountering Song soldiers,
They encountered Western Xia soldiers.
Encountering rebellious Han Chinese, Xi people, and Bohai people,
This is how we've always played.
The enemy numbered in the tens of thousands.
They dared to go over with just one or two thousand cavalry.
And yet they always manage to win big.
The most typical example is the battle against the Western Xia on the grasslands.
The Western Xia army numbered over 30,000.
The Jin dynasty had only one thousand cavalrymen.
In their first battle, the Jin army suffered two to three hundred casualties.
The result is that they can continue to lure and harass the enemy.
Ultimately, they routed the more than 30,000 Western Xia soldiers.
