Seeing that they couldn't get any real protection, the other party simply confessed his hole cards. Cui Li was willing to raise [-] people under his command to be the pioneers in the crusade against Bianliang.
This old boy is also ruthless enough, and he also knows that if he does not make some contributions, he will have no chance to gain a foothold with the Prince of Song.
Moreover, now he has 5000 people under his command. With so many people, even if he takes refuge in Da Song, it may bring disaster to himself.
That's why he asked for orders to attack Bianliang. If he could exchange the lives of these men and horses for Cui Li's contribution, that would be a double win.
Naturally, Cui Li's little tricks couldn't be hidden from Zhao Rushu, Guo Mo and others, which made them despise this kind of person's character even more in their hearts.
However, it is not just a matter of losing [-] combat power to reject such a person bluntly, it may really damage the reputation of the Great Song Prince.
Once the reputation of "refusing to accept surrender" spreads, how can we recruit talents from the enemy in the future, and it will also make future battles more cruel in disguise.
"Your Highness, from the old man's point of view, it's not as good as this. Doesn't Cui Li want to make meritorious service? Just give him a chance, let him launch an attack a day earlier than us."
"In the army of Cui Li in Weizhou, there are also dozens of our 'Tingfeng'. His Highness can give an order at the same time to let them be smarter on the battlefield. If they can shoot and kill the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, hehe. …”
Hey, this old Cheng Yi, this thinking is getting more and more evil.
However, why does Guo Mo feel that this idea is really so suitable?
"Sir, what's the news from Weizhou?"
Guo Mo put down the pen in his hand, stretched his waist, and looked at the sky in the window. Another day passed quickly.
"Your Highness, Cui Li has already agreed to His Highness's request. On May 27th, one day earlier than the 'Yue Family Army', they will cross the Yellow River south to surprise Bianliang City."
After Zhao Rushu finished speaking, he handed the news to Guo Mo.
Cui Li's attack was truly a surprise attack.
Bianliang City, which was originally defended by more than 4 Jin troops, has now dropped to 4000 sharply under the attack of Guo Mo's "Letter to the People of the Jin Kingdom", and more than [-] soldiers have almost dispersed.
Although Bianliang City was guarded by these 4000 people, the heavy troops were deployed on the western and southern fronts, and only 2000 people were released symbolically on the eastern front.
As for the northern line close to the Yellow River, there were simply only a few hundred veterans guarding it.
Wanyan Shouxu still imagined that if Cui Li's conscience suddenly found out one day, he would be able to cross the Yellow River south to support Bianliang City at the most critical moment.
"Haha, I'm afraid that the 20 taels of silver you brought back to him will play a certain role. However, I still have to remind this old boy to restrain himself after entering the city."
Bianliang City, which is the current capital of the Kingdom of Jin, was once the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, or in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been their capital.
Lin'an, after all, is just Lin'an.
......
"Tiemu Gehan, have you really made up your mind?"
Looking at Brother Tiemu, who was blushing from drinking, Boershu was still worried.
Since Tiemuge fell in the hands of the Communist Party of Meng last year, the younger brother of Genghis Khan, he can be considered a ruthless man, directly abandoned the two western cities of Guazhou and Shazhou that had been occupied, and joined forces with Borshu A soldier.
In fact, Brother Tiemu is wise to do this. He only has [-] people under his command, while the Song Xia coalition army on the opposite side is more than twice as many as him.
In a one-on-one field battle with the opponent, even the majestic Mongolian cavalry is no match. How do you let him fight this battle?
The most important thing is that winter is coming soon, and the army cannot find supplies, and there is a risk of annihilation of the entire army. He can't let [-] Mongolian warriors starve to death.
After joining forces with Borshu, Brother Tiemu even directly made Borshu the highest commander, even though the opponent only had more than 1 people under his command.
Xixia is so big, if you can't move the west, you should attack the east first, and the east is Wanyankang's territory.
"Borshu, do you still have confidence if we say we will take all Xixia?"
Brother Tiemu didn't answer Borshu, but instead asked what he wanted to ask the most.
Who is Borshu?
During the period of Genghis Khan Temujin, he was already the first commander of Mongolia. He was stable, had a strong outlook on the overall situation, and had many strategies.
Brother Tiemu knows that the "Dunwu Army" of the Meng Communist Party is training those Xixia troops, and there are already 3 Song troops on the western front.
There are still [-] "Dunwu Army" stationed in Yinzhou City, and there are also [-] "Dunwu Army" in Taiyuan, which is next to Xixia.
A total of [-] "Dunwu Army", this force is enough to push all the armed forces in the entire Xixia territory.
"Tie Mu Ge Khan, if Da Khan can send another 4 to [-] Mongolian cavalry over here, he will still have this confidence. With the current [-] horsemen alone, it will be difficult."
Borshu is also 65 years old. Since the age of 60, he has rarely led troops on the front line. The commander of the Mongolian army is mostly held by Mu Huali, who is eight or nine years younger than him.
Unfortunately, Mu Huali died on the battlefield in Hebei.
Borshu had to go back to the front line, but his energy and physical strength were no longer comparable to those of the past.
Last year, when he bid farewell to Wo Kuotai and entered Xixia, Bo Ershu had an inexplicable premonition that this might be his last expedition.
So, can Wo Kuotai send them tens of thousands more cavalry?
The answer is clearly no.
Indeed, after Wo Kuotai returned to the grassland, he quickly gathered tens of thousands of horses, but he did not dare to act rashly.
After not returning to the desert for more than two years, he found that not only Tuo Lei's own tribe had left, but also more than 30 small tribes followed Tuo Lei's footsteps.
If he does not continue to consolidate the rule of the desert, I am afraid that more people will leave in the coming year.
It is reported that Tuo Lei has already left Zhongdu and returned to Korea again. He will start preparing for the war against Korea in the coming year.
Jebe was left in Zhongdu, but Tuolei only left him 3000 troops, and most of the supplies in Zhongdu were also taken away by Tuolei.
Tuo Lei's excuse is that Korea is about to be unified and more troops are needed.When Jebe asked how to defend Zhongdu, Tuo Lei did not answer.
Zhe Le Mie, who disappeared after Temujin's death, has now become a capable general under Tuo Lei's command. After all, he is younger, and his killing methods are still superior to those of Jebe and Chilaowen.
More than two-thirds of the Koryo Peninsula has been occupied by Tuo Lei, but only more than 1 people were killed in the Koryo army.
The King of Koryo at this time was the king who had been in power for 14 years, and he was known as King Zhongxian Anxiao to the outside world.
Ever since Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, was captured by Tuo Lei, the loyal King Anhyo has been a bit decadent. The capital was captured, and he escaped alone with his guards.
Those concubines in the harem fell into the hands of the Mongols, so one can imagine what will happen to them?
He sent envoys to beg for surrender over and over again, but he did not see a single envoy coming back alive.
"My lord, we probably won't be able to defend Korea, why don't we go to sea?"
There are still some confidantes around King Zhongxian Anxiao. They know that they can reach the westernmost island of Wa Kingdom in just two or three days by sailing to sea.
"However, this is the inheritance left by the ancestors. If it dies in the hands of the king, what face does the king have to meet the ancestors?"
At this time, the King Zhongxian Anxiao still wants to be a filial son and grandson.
Guo Mo's "Letter to the People of the Kingdom of Jin" also seemed to give the Mongols a hint of "peace of mind". They no longer set their sights on Da Song, but started their own actions.
First of all, Tuo Lei started in Korea in early May.
Chi Laowen stayed behind in Kaesong, which was the former capital of Koryo and the current base camp of Tuolei.
Tuo Lei, Zhe Le Mie, and Meng Ge each led [-] Mongolian cavalry and swept towards the south of the Koryo Peninsula in a zigzag shape.
At this time, the big cities of Goryeo were mainly concentrated in the north-central part, but there were few decent cities in the south of Goryeo, and the Mongolian iron cavalry was like being destroyed.
Especially Meng Ge, the eldest son of Tuo Lei, is at the time when he is in high spirits.
Maybe it was because of the successive victories in Korea that bred Meng Ge's arrogance prematurely. Regardless of his talent, he brought four or five decent women home, and even gave birth to three children.
Meng Ge won the position of "Pioneer Officer" this time, and he was determined to get the head of King Goryeo.
But the most beloved concubine of King Goryeo had already been brought to Mengge's mansion, even though that concubine was seven or eight years older than Mengge.
Twelve days, this is the day when the Korean army finally survived.
"Your Majesty, let's evacuate quickly. Our ancestors said, 'If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood'. Let's evacuate to the country of Wa. Fortunately, we still have 3000 troops in our hands. It is still possible to occupy a large island. "
The confidant once again persuaded the loyal King Anxiao, and finally the king gave the order to retreat.
However, the ones who accompanied him on the ship first were a dozen or so Korean girls who had just been recruited recently.
With the sails unfurled, there were a total of sixteen sea-going ships, loaded with [-] Korean soldiers, some gold, silver, soft goods and food.
The battle on Koryo Island is still going on, and there are still more than 2000 Koryo soldiers who don't know that they have been abandoned, fighting desperately.
Unfortunately, in front of [-] Mongolian iron cavalry, this defeated army is completely unstoppable.
In just two quarters of an hour, there was no longer a Korean standing on the battlefield.
"Check carefully, each corpse is repaired with a knife, and then enter the city with Ben-"
Meng Ge wiped the saber in his hand, it must be a fine product produced by Guo Mo.
Entering the city means another "fight".
Unfortunately, this is the last city of Koryo.
"Eldest prince, the lord of Koryo escaped by boat half an hour ago. There are about 3000 people with him. The exact destination is unknown."
Not long after, a detective came to report to Meng Ge.
"Hmph, it's cheap, old boy, let's go to the city. But father Khan said, don't kill the males this time, they will all be reduced to slaves, and someone has to do the dirty work."
After completely occupying Goryeo, the next step for Tuo Lei is to govern Goryeo. It will take ten to eight years or even longer to completely erase the mark of Goryeo from the peninsula.
......
On May 23, the flames of war in Goryeo had already been extinguished, while Guo Mo in Luoyang City was making final preparations silently, but the Mongolian army in Xixia territory launched.

Mengzhou is the northernmost city where the Wanyankang Army is stationed. It is in the middle of Pingzhou and Yinzhou. Veteran Yilapua personally leads [-] "loyalty troops" to garrison.
On the first day, the Mongols' letter of war had been delivered. It was a letter written by Brother Tiemu, about the next day's battle in the field.
It's a pity that Yilapua has passed the age of dizziness, and the arrival of this letter of war just made him add some defensive measures to the city wall overnight.
When it comes to siege and defense, the Jin people are undoubtedly better than the Mongols. After all, they have ruled the place of the Song Dynasty for many years, and there are many Han officials and generals in the court.
The Huaxia nation is a very peculiar nation. No matter which ethnic minority you are, when you really rule China, you will gradually be influenced, soaked, and swallowed up by China's own culture.
What's more, the Kingdom of Jin itself came from the Jurchens. Compared with the Mongols, they are not purely a nation on horseback.
Therefore, Yila Pua wisely chose to defend the city.
Brother Tiemu also knew about Yilapua. After all, both parties had been in Xixia for several years, and they knew each other well.
The reason why the next letter of war asked him to fight in the field was because he was lucky, what if this happened to Rapua on a whim?
More importantly, he just wanted to attract Yila Pua's attention to the west gate of Mengzhou, so that the [-] Mongolian army led by Borshu could raid the east gate of Mengzhou city.
Yes, a total of 5000 Mongolian troops dispatched a full 4 horses at once.
However, only the 2 troops led by Brother Tiemu are standing outside the west gate of Mengzhou, while the men of Borshu are still hiding in the dark.
Without even the most basic opening remarks, Brother Tiemu commanded the army and drove thousands of civilians to attack Mengzhou City.
This is a common method used by the Mongols. In order to reduce the casualties of their own people, they looted some villages along the way and pushed these civilians to the forefront of the army.
Use the bodies of these civilians to consume the enemy's arrows and distract the enemy's attention.
At the same time, the Mongolian army separated into fans and kept shooting at the top of the city.Mongolian cavalry were born archers, capable of sniping, long-range shooting, and volley shooting.
Because of this, the Mongolian army also has a soft spot for long-range strikes.
Half an hour later, the army of Jila Pua on the top of the city was very busy and consumed a lot of defensive materials. They knew that these were civilians under the city, but no one dared to relax.
What if these people opened the city gate?
Who can guarantee that there are no Mongolian soldiers hiding among these civilians?
However, the Mongolian army leisurely released arrows behind them, and soldiers fell from the top of the city from time to time.
"Trebuchet, get on—"
Brother Tiemu waved his hand, and pushed up more than a dozen trebuchets from behind. It seemed that they were well prepared this time.
At this time, artillery had not yet appeared, and even the famous "Huihui Cannon" would have to wait for decades to appear, and the first long-range weapon for siege was the trebuchet.
Among the Mongolian army, the one who paid the most attention to the use of trebuchets was the dead Mu Huali, who even had his own "artillery unit".
The "cannon" at that time was a trebuchet, and the common ones were like the ones in front of you, also called a rope-pull trebuchet.
One or several rafters are bound together with iron hoops to form the gun tip of the throwing arm, which is placed on the gun mount. A leather bag filled with shells is tied to one end, and dozens of dragging cables are tied to the other end.
When firing, the manpower pulls the cable violently, and uses the principle of leverage to throw the projectile boulder or firelight out.
A round of cannon stones hit the past, and there were casualties on the city wall. The key is that this thing has no way to defend against it, so it can only dodge blindly.
No matter what kind of trebuchet, it is very troublesome and time-consuming to install, disassemble, adjust the range, and re-aiming the target.
