In less than an hour, tens of thousands of Jurchen people have reached the top of the cliff in the dense forest, the long rope made of animal skin is thin and tough, I saw them skillfully take out the hardwood with a hook around their waists, and after tying the rope, the spider spit silk condescendingly threw thousands of ribbons, as if they had already rehearsed, they calculated the distance between the bricks of the battlements, and shook the rope to make the hardwood with the hook stuck in various gaps.

The Liao army at the head of the city has found it when the ropes are thrown down in the sky, and immediately shouted and shouted, raising knives to cut many ropes, but at the same time, they were hit by the first wave of condescending blows from the Jurchens, although the power of the bamboo arrows and bamboo bows is not strong, but the power of condescending shooting is quite amazing, the Jurchens embedded sharp stones at the top of the bamboo arrows, and under the close shooting, the rattan armor of the Liao people does not play a big role.

The two sides were not the focus of the defense, there were 3,000 soldiers on each of the east and west walls of Longzhou, mainly to block the passage between the city wall and the cliff wall, as well as to monitor the movement on the left and right cliffs.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers shouted and screamed like swift apes gliding down the rope, only blinking an eye, and the east and west city walls were already densely dissatisfied; The Liao army, which was only 3,000 people, watched the dense and dense tens of thousands of Jurchens fall from the sky, where did they dare to resist, and they abandoned the city and fled.

Wan Yanhu slashed and killed the Liao soldiers, and at the same time ordered people to light fireworks.

Outside the south gate, Su Jin looked at the billowing black smoke rising from the city walls on the east and west sides, and knew that Wan Yan Hu had already succeeded, and it only took an hour from departure to attack, and this Wan Yan Hu seemed to know the weaknesses of Longzhou well, this kind of efficiency, if it was not fully prepared, it would not be possible to do it at all.

"Let's do it." Su Jin said softly.

The soldiers of the Song army, who had long been ready to go, let out an earth-shattering cry and rushed towards the city gate with a cloud ladder; Wan Yanhu is very smart, after taking the east and west city walls, he immediately concentrated his forces to the south city wall, he knew that the Song army was about to attack the city, and there were still more than 40,000 Liao defenders on the city, if he did not immediately outflank and contain from the rear, these 40,000 people would definitely bring greater casualties to the Song army; The casualties are large, and whether Su Dashuai can keep his promise to hand over Longzhou to himself will be a big question.

So he wisely chose to attack the back of the Liao army in the south of the city, the Liao army at the head of the city had been shocked by the shouts of killing and the smoke rising from the city, and suddenly saw the Song army sweeping over, and saw tens of thousands of people in the rear along the main street to cover up, this mood can only be described as a soul flying from the sky.

The city lord and the guards were still waiting to give the order to resist desperately, but the soldiers had already given up, especially the people of Wanyan Hu rushed to the city gate to kill all the thousand defenders in the city gate, and after opening the city gate and firmly holding on, this battle was meaningless, there was no danger to defend, the troops were absolutely inferior, and the enemy was on the back, and all kinds of failure factors were gathered together, even if Zhuge Liang was alive, it was difficult to return to the sky.

The battle began quickly and ended even more quickly, and in less than three hours the remnants of the city had been wiped out, more than 5,000 defenders had been killed, and more than 40,000 had become prisoners before they could exert their strength; After the battle, Su Jin immediately ordered the Jurchen soldiers of Wanyan Hu to stay at the south gate to rest, and the battlefield in the city was cleaned up, and they were not allowed to interfere in the inventory of materials; Although Wanyanhu was extremely annoyed, the Song army was powerful, and he had to watch the Song army take away all the weapons and armor of the defenders, but his own people could get nothing.

There were also Jurchen soldiers who refused to hand over the captured blades, and there was friction when the Song army collected them, but the Song army was so fierce that they killed people directly, and they hacked to death more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers who refused to hand over the spoils, and then stripped the armor and blades from the corpses; After hearing this, Yan Hu bared his teeth and looked at him angrily, and went directly to Su Jin, the city lord's mansion, to demand that the murderer be severely punished, and asked for a reasonable explanation.

Su Jin was relieved when he heard this: "Leader Wanyan, the friction between these soldiers is actually nothing, if you think like this, you have won a big city for no reason, and you have also won tens of thousands of people in the city, I will leave some of the captured Liao soldiers for you, and I will also leave some food for you, are you not satisfied?" ”

Wan Yanhu said angrily: "However, since we have reached an agreement to march together, it can be regarded as a friendly army, how can you do this to friendly forces?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "My army has gone deep into the country of the Liao people, and all supplies can only be obtained from the Liao people, food, weapons and armor, war horses, of course I want them all, otherwise how can I cope with the upcoming war?" ”

Wan Yanhu snorted and said: "Su Dashuai should have ulterior motives, your supplies are already abundant enough, weapons and armor are all burdens to you, don't think I don't know your thoughts." ”

Su Jin laughed, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Happy, the leader of Wanyan is a happy person, compared to you, I am a little secretive and not upright enough; Yes, I don't want to get a knife in the back, it's as simple as that; I can't use weapons and armor to destroy, and I can't leave it to you, because I don't feel at ease with you, after all, you and I don't have a deep relationship, and this alliance is also beneficial to both parties, and it hasn't reached the point of putting your heart in your heart. ”

Wan Yanhu blushed and said: "Su Dashuai is bullying people and we Jurchens, we must cooperate and be suspicious, you southerners are really entangled, and you can't figure it out." ”

Su Jin sneered: "Don't say that you are very noble, we are all the same, don't think that I don't know that you have long been eyeing Longzhou, judging from your siege methods, I am afraid that it has been premeditated and practiced many times; The crown you are talking about, as a vassal of the Liao State, why do you covet it? Are you a gentleman? Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, ridiculous. ”

Wanyan Hu was exposed by you, his face was blue and white, and he slowed down after a long time: "Su Dashuai, we really need armor and weapons, I want you to promise that we will never be enemies with you, and you also ask us to capture Ningjiang Baozhou and other places, I don't have weapons and armor, how can I have the strength to contain it?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Those two places are at your fingertips, once Longzhou is lost, Ningjiang and Baozhou will be alone in the north, what else is there to worry about; Besides, I don't believe that you can calculate Longzhou, so you won't calculate those two places, maybe the weaknesses of those two cities have already been explored by you, so let's not go around. ”

Wan Yanhu resisted the urge to draw his sword, warned himself that he must be patient, and said disgustingly: "How can Su Dashuai trust my Jurchen tribe, how can I give us some weapons and armor, my Jurchen tribe just wants to protect myself, and I can survive better after taking these cities, if I want to say how ambitious I am, it is absolutely wronged, the entire tribe is only hundreds of thousands of people, how can I do anything?" ”

Su Jinxin said: At present, you are cats, and in time you will be tigers.

"I can give you what you want, but you have to agree to my terms." Su Jin didn't want to really anger the Jurchens at this time, so he quickly came up with a compromise.

"Su Dashuai, please speak."

"A few days ago, I visited the Malay newspaper that two large armies had already rushed towards us from the south and the west, one was the 100,000 troops drawn back from the southern front, and the other was the defenders of Linhuang Mansion. Needless to say, I will face a fierce battle; To tell the truth, I now have 180,000 people, and there are 250,000 people who surround and suppress me. If you want to get the armor and weapons you urgently need, you have to help me defeat the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, in that case, I guarantee that all the weapons and armor of your Jurchen tribe can be armed, and after the battle, you will be divided into thirty percent of the spoils, from then on, you can throw away bamboo bows, bamboo arrows, bamboo guns, and your 50,000 warriors will become a truly powerful army. ”

Wan Yanhu's face changed greatly, and he shook his head again and again: "How can this be done?" In addition, my Jurchen soldiers are only the same number, victory and defeat are great losses, your Song country has a large population, and you can recover after loss, my 50,000 warriors are the only Jurchen belongings, without them, how can the tribe gain a foothold? ”

Su Jin said suddenly: "Your soldier's life is expensive, and my soldier is not valuable?" Yes, the hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries in my Great Song Dynasty really have nothing to do with the overall situation, the Great Song Dynasty has a population of nearly 700,000 households, counting nearly 40 million people, but who is not raised by his father's mother? With your words, our deal fell through, and with your 50,000 more people, my chances of winning are not much greater; I'm just looking for a reason to give you armor and weapons, otherwise how can I explain it to the generals? ”

Wan Yanhu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I meant to say that we have few people and can't afford to die; Once you have lost too many people in battle, you won't even have a foothold. ”

Su Jin sighed and said: "Actually, it's not as terrible as you think, at least seventy or eighty thousand of the 250,000 Liao army are from the new army, and the combat power is far from mine; If your men join, I will not let you face the enemy head-on, but let you contain them and distract them; After a few days of rest, our army will march west to attack Taizhou (Note: Taizhou of Liao, not Taizhou in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, in the central part of present-day Liaoning. I estimate that there will be a big battle against the enemy in Taizhou, and you only need to go south to attack Xinzhou to contain it, as long as you can attract a part of the Liao army to keep Xinzhou, it will relieve me of the pressure, and I will have a better chance of winning. ”

Wan Yanhu said suspiciously: "It's that simple? ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "It's that simple, of course you are willing to act with my army and fight head-on with the Liao army in Taizhou, and Ben Shuai has no objection." ”

Wan Yanhu waved his hand and said: "Then let's go to Xinzhou, but I will say it in my head, there are few soldiers and horses coming, I may still be able to fight with it, if there are more, I will immediately retreat to Longzhou." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "You have a good calculation, okay, the deal is done, first give you 10,000 sets of armor weapons to facilitate your actions, if I win after this battle, it will naturally be armor and weapons for you to carry, if I lose, it is estimated that my life will be lost, then there will be no way; So you'd better pray to God to bless me with victory in the war. ”
