The battle that afternoon was just a repetition of what happened to the Bohai and Khitans. It's just that the main role has been replaced by Xi Ren.

After paying more than a thousand lives. These Xi people, who had lost their momentum yesterday, finally completed their work and filled in the first trench outside the city. After they did this, Gao Yang immediately ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. Meals should be eaten little by little, and battles should be fought again and again. Even if it is to consume cannon fodder, you can't force it too hard, anyway, the days will be long.

He sent an envoy to the upper capital and negotiated with the defenders to obtain permission to collect the corpses. There's no way around it. In the current weather conditions, so many corpses are placed in the open air. It won't be long before a terrible plague erupts. This is something that is unacceptable to both sides.

Numerous cannon fodder pushed carts to the city to transport the corpses killed during the day to a distant place. After digging several large pits, the bodies were buried in place. This is the end of the journey of these people's lives.

The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless. Without the slightest surprise, the siege continued. Under Gao Yang's orders, wave after wave of cannon fodder of various ethnic groups who were powerless to resist swarmed up, braving the rain of Jurchen arrows and clearing the obstacles and trenches outside the city one by one at the cost of countless lives.

Day 3 & 4...... Until ten days later. After paying the lives of tens of thousands of cannon fodder, all kinds of obstacles outside the capital were finally cleared.

The Jurchens had no experience in defending the city, and they didn't know anything about defending the city. Even the defense of the city cannot be boring, and it is necessary to have a strong stronghold outside the city to echo it. They shrank all their strength into the capital city, that is, they put all their hopes in the hands of the enemy!

When everything outside the city has been cleared, the final siege is finally coming.

......

"How many days do you think they'll be able to watch?" Gao Yang, who was riding a war horse and standing under the handsome flag, stretched out his finger to Shangjing City in the distance, and asked with a smile.

"It's mostly up to you." Origin said aloud, "Depends on whether you still need to continue to consume those cannon fodder." If they need to continue, then they can stay on for a few more days. If it weren't needed, the victorious army would have taken the city in forty-eight hours at most. Maybe. Only one well-prepared offensive was enough to end the battle. The current Jurchens have no strength to resist. ”

"There aren't many cannon fodder left." Gao Yang bent the corners of his mouth and said with a chuckle.

The result of the continuous strong assault on the city was a huge number of casualties. Those guys who originally rushed over to join Gao Yang, hoping to share some leftovers when the Jurchens ended, were unlucky this time. Not only did he not eat any decent benefits, but he smashed all the rice bowls he relied on for a living and begging!

The loss of tens of thousands of people has finally brought the heads of these people to their senses. Gao Yang is borrowing a knife to kill someone! It's a pity that the strength in their hands has been greatly damaged at this moment, and under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they want to resist Gao Yang, they have no chance. In fact, it started when they took the initiative to come to Gaoyang. They have no chance of getting out.

"Why do you go and don't use cultural aggression? I read that history books and many sources often say that you can assimilate these people, why don't you like to use them? Wouldn't that be more humane? Yuan asked in a confused voice.

Gao Yang's expression paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Said in a cold voice: "What assimilation? Do you use women to assimilate? A man who can only play tricks uses a woman to deal with a powerful enemy, and it makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I can't do such a thing. ”

"Hmm." The origin replied and said, "I also think that directly eliminating the existence of the enemy from the ** is the most effective way to fight." Tactics, tactics, tactics, and everything are only used when the strength is insufficient. The most effective way to fight is to crush all the way with absolute strength! ”

Gao Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. Looking at the people who were still making pre-battle preparations not far away, sweating profusely, sorting out all kinds of siege equipment, he smiled. He whispered, "You're not wrong. You see, in modern time and space, when the United States went to attack those weak countries, it was always shouting for zero casualties or something. Isn't it because they have absolute strength compared to those weak countries that are still using AK? ”

"Hush." Yuan Point pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "What kind of strength can that be called?" I can take out anything and hit them, and they're looking for teeth! ”

"You're really bullying people when you say that." Gao Yang spat out a smoke ring and said with a chuckle, "What level of technology do you have?" What rank are they? The gap is as big as the gap between the Jurchens and me at this moment. This is not comparable. ”

"Wait until this side is settled. When you return to modern time and space, it is estimated that there should be ambitious people who can't bear the ** in their hearts, and they will start to do it. Just in time you can show off your strong muscles. Origin said aloud.

"What muscles are you showing?" Gao Yang shook his head, looked at Shangjing City in the distance, and said indifferently, "This time I will use the knife directly." Whoever dares to come forward will give him a few knives and let the chickens see how the monkeys are played to death. ”

......

At this moment. Even these Jurchens themselves did not believe that they could still hold the capital. In desperation, many people chose to flee. But in the end, they sadly found that their last way out had been blocked.

At night in the previous days. In the river outside Shangjing, many Jurchens who tried to flee at night were intercepted by the water army temporarily formed by the Chang Sheng Army. Most of them were taken prisoner, and a few escaped or returned to Shangjing under the cover of panic and night. There are also some unlucky eggs who fell into the water and drowned.

The ten-day-long operation of clearing the perimeter made the Jurchens feel tremendous pressure. The city of Shangjing, which they believed to be kept, was not as impregnable as they thought.

The Chang Shengjun just used a bunch of cannon fodder to keep the Jurchens busy. The continuous fighting not only made the Jurchens' spirits extremely nervous, but their morale also slowly declined again after the initial improvement.

And they didn't take into account that the consumption of all kinds of materials would be so large during the defense of the city. The huge number of arrows that had been stored had been consumed by nearly half in just ten days. What if the victorious army starts a real siege?

The Jurchens, who were desperate and retreating, began to think about retreating. However, the temporary naval army of the victorious army blocked their last retreat.

The high-intensity siege battle that lasted for three days completely dried up the blood of the cannon fodder of all ethnic groups who had taken refuge in Gaoyang. And the Jurchens who defended the city also suffered a lot of losses. What's more, the Jurchens' reserves of various materials for defending the city were consumed in the near air. The sergeants were exhausted and demoralized. The fortifications of the city are damaged in many places, and the entire Shangjing City is about to be unable to hold it!

By the time the morning sun rose again, the last wave of deadly attacks arrived.

......

"Which of you wants the honor of conquering the enemy kingdom first?" Gao Yang squinted and looked at the generals in the military tent, and asked with a chuckle.

Many generals all look at me, I look at yours. They all laughed and didn't speak.

"What? Don't want to either? Gao Yang leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs. Take out a cigarette and light it. Asked out loud.

"Lord Wang." Chen Fangliang stepped forward and saluted, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, and said with a smile, "We all want to." It's just that there is only one in the capital, and we don't have enough points. ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "That's what it means." Now winning is winning. As the main general, it is impossible for me to compete with you for this honor that can be recorded in the history books. You're all good guys, and it's hard for me to decide who will go. Let's discuss it for yourselves. ”

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he got up and left the military tent, leaving these generals to discuss the candidates on their own.

"When will you go back?" Origin asked.

Gao Yang looked up at the sky, shook his head slightly, and said, "Not so fast." Today is to destroy the city defenses and weaken the defenders. If it doesn't go too well, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to actually capture it. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, the capture of Shangjing City and the destruction of the Jurchen power structure does not mean that all this is over. There are also post-war garrison arrangements, the division of spheres of influence, the treatment of those aliens, etc., etc., there are many things that need to be dealt with. It's not that the war is over and it's over. ”

"And who are you going to let stay here to do business?" Origin asked curiously.

Gao Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Fangliang." He took a drag on his cigarette and continued, "After the army leaves, there will be chaos here. This requires a general who can hold back to stay here to deal with the aftermath. Where restraint and suppression have been temporarily lost, there must be war. The garrison general must be resolute and decisive in handling things. The only people under me who meet this condition are Chen Fangliang and Yue Fei. ”

"Then why didn't you leave Yue Fei behind?" Origin continued to ask.

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Yue Fei is a sharp sword. He is more adept at being the commander of a large army and fighting against enemy forces. What remains here is to rebuild a new city, as well as a large number of settlements, to open up a safe area for the mass arrival of immigrants from the Central Plains. It is also necessary to sweep away those scattered routs in all directions, and send elites to chase down the remnants of the enemy in the deep mountains and old forests. These things are very cumbersome, and Chen Fangliang, who is delicate, is the most suitable. ”

"That's right." Yuan Dian replied and said, "Chen Fangliang is very smart and good at using his brain. Dealing with tedious things in this complex situation should be the best fit for him. ”

Chen Fangliang is smart and good at dealing with complex things. And he is a native of Yandi, and he is also a northerner. I have a good understanding of the various situations in the north, and it is more convenient and easy to deal with.

There is another important reason why Chen Fangliang stayed here. It is here that a city will be rebuilt, an important city that radiates enough to radiate the entire northeast! (To be continued.) )
