Chapter 121 Chapter Twenty-Four

Bianjing is the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. If the city of Bianjing is destroyed, the Kingdom of Jin will cease to exist. Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Jin are united in defending Bianjing to the death.So in the face of the coming Mongolian army, what preparations will the Golden State make to defend the city? Pingzhang Wanyan Baisa suggested to Aizong that the Mongolian attack was just to bully Bianjing's defenses and the emptiness. Most of our troops are in other places, and the capital has no soldiers.Therefore, we should build a short embankment along the city of Bianjing to draw the water from the Yellow River, use water instead of soldiers, and form a natural moat outside the embankment, so that the Mongolian soldiers can be blocked.By this time, the emperor had already lost his composure. After all, he had never fought in the front line, and he was not the emperor immediately. After hearing Yan Baisa's idea, he even claimed yes, and hurriedly dug the river.Wanyan Baisa is a vulgar and uneducated person, never thought that this river surrounds the city of Bianjing, even if the Mongols don't come over and the river soaks the city for a year, can Bianjing still want it?The city walls of Bianjing City are not brick walls, but rammed earth walls.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing also had earthen walls, outsourced with city bricks, how many bricks were built with bricks?The city of Bianjing is an earthen wall, soaking it with water?Do you say this is blocking the Mongols, or helping the Mongols?The Mongols got the advice of the surrendered general, came over from another ferry, and killed almost all the migrant workers digging the river. Only 300 of the more than 10,000 migrant workers escaped.Otherwise, if you are ten thousand strong, it can play a big role in defending the city, right?Before the river was dug, the Mongols rushed over. The Mongols were cavalry, and horses could jump over short dikes, but people couldn't.A horse can wade across a river, but a man cannot swim.This time, the Mongolian army came whenever they wanted, but the Jin people wanted to go out but couldn't, and were trapped inside the city.

Bianjing City is luxurious and magnificent, with a circumference of eight miles, and it was built from the time of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty.After Jin Xuanzong moved south, the power minister Shu Hu Gaoqi came up with a bad idea, saying that the city wall of 80 miles was not easy to defend. We built a circle of cities inside, and we couldn't defend it at 80 miles.Therefore, another forty-mile city was built, which cost a huge billion and exhausted many ordinary people.After the sub-city was repaired, when the Mongols attacked Bianjing, the minister told the emperor that if the outer city was not guarded, the sub-city could not be defended, and the outer city had to be guarded.Xiuzi City spent so much money and exhausted so many people, it was a waste of time.All those who could hold weapons in the city of Nanjing went up to the city wall. Forty thousand soldiers were gathered, 20,000 strong young men were taken outside, and 60,000 people defended the outer city with a circumference of 80 miles, just standing on the city wall.There are big gaps everywhere, and the Mongols can just tear a hole from anywhere and rush in.

Bianjing was in dire straits, and the capital was about to be conquered by the enemy. All hope lay in the reinforcements outside the city. The city of Bianjing alone would definitely not be able to stop the Mongols.The emperor ordered Heda and Pu'a to go all out to help Bianjing, and if there is any delay, the second minister will be held accountable by the military law.The two of them saw that it was related to the problem of the head now, and we really had to risk our lives.So Wanyan Heda and Yila Pua led the last main force of the Kingdom of Jin, 150,000 horses, 20,000 cavalry, and 130,000 infantry, and set off from Dengzhou to help the capital.Three thousand Mongolian cavalry followed behind and did not attack, keeping a distance from the Jin army.

The Mongols are waiting for reinforcements.Because Bianjing could not be defeated for a while, they plundered wantonly in other counties and counties in Henan.Now that the main force of the Golden Army is dispatched, Mongolian troops from all over the country are constantly coming to join the Mongolian army following the Golden Army.There are more and more Mongolians, three thousand today, ten thousand tomorrow, twenty thousand the day after tomorrow, and thirty thousand the day after tomorrow.Heda and Pua discussed that we can't just sit back and watch the Mongolian army develop and grow. Now the enemy is only a few thousand riders. Our army walks in front and they follow behind. Our brothers have become traffic signs. They can't find Bianliang. Let's take It's not right to let him go.We have to turn around and fight fiercely with the enemy, and eat up his thousands of people first, and count as many as we can kill.So the army of the Kingdom of Jin set up camp, ready to take on the Mongols.As soon as the Jin people set up camp, the Mongols attacked.I will follow you when you leave, and I will harass you as soon as you rest.As soon as the Jin army set up the tent, buried the pot for cooking, and wanted to rest for a while, the Mongolian cavalry roared over.The hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers felt that the Mongolian soldiers came rushing to them, so they stopped erecting tents and kicked over the pot, and drew their swords first to fight.As soon as the Jin army faced the battle, the Mongolian soldiers ran away without a trace.As soon as you bury the pot, he will come, and as soon as the pot is kicked over, he will leave.So many times, Jin Jun was not allowed to rest and eat.

The Jin army marched to Sanfeng Mountain, twenty-five miles away from Junzhou, when it snowed heavily, the blizzard caused disasters, and the army could not advance.At this time, Bianjing quickly delivered the decree, and the two prime ministers immediately raised their troops. The capital was in danger, and if delays caused delays, the law would not be lightly forgiven.The second minister hastily issued an order to kick up all the infantry and yell at all the cavalry to rescue the capital.The soldiers didn't eat and didn't sleep. They were thirsty, hungry and sleepy. They set off ignorantly and stumbled. During the march, some soldiers fell asleep, and the troops didn't eat for three days.At this time, the Mongolian army came from all directions and surrounded the 150,000 Jin army.The Mongolian army cut down trees and built roadblocks to block the way of the Jin army.The Jin army was suffering from hunger and cold, and every time it snowed heavily, marching all the way, not only had to constantly guard against the harassment of Mongolian rangers, but also moved trees and stones, and their physical strength was basically exhausted.At this time, the Mongolian army's formation has been completed.The 150,000 gold army stood in the blizzard, and some fell to death when they lined up, freezing to death or starving to death.Most of the soldiers of the Jin Army could no longer raise their weapons or draw their bows.The Mongols divided the army into two groups. One group set up a large pot to cook meat, eat meat, and drink kumiss. When they were full, they replaced the group that had worked hard on the battlefield, and the group ate meat and drank kumiss. , and then switch it back again, repeating this, the wheel of war.At this time, the Jin army had suffered tens of thousands of casualties and had no food and drink, while the Mongols were full, full of wine and meat, and their bodies were dry and hot. They were looking for someone to vent.The commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army suddenly ordered to encircle three and one, and open one side of the net, open the road to Junzhou, and let the Jin people withdraw to Junzhou.Seeing that there was a glimmer of hope for escape, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin immediately lost their fighting spirit and generals. According to historical records: "The Jin army collapsed, and the sound was like a collapsed mountain." Zhoucheng retreated, and the 150,000 people basically became ghosts under the knife, and Wanyan Heda and Yilapua also lost contact.

Monk Wanyan Chen fought desperately, but Wanyan Heda led hundreds of cavalry to retreat into Junzhou, and Yilapua went to nowhere.After Monk Wanyanchen retreated into Junzhou, the Mongolian army came to attack.There were only a few hundred people in the city, and it was obviously impossible to defend, so the city of Junzhou was broken.Wanyan Heda hid in a private house, was found by the Mongolian army, and was hacked to death.The Mongolian soldiers carried Wanyan Heda's head and went to Bianjing city to demonstrate. They told the troops defending the city that what you rely on is nothing more than Wanyan Heda and Huanghe Tianxian. Now Wanyan Heda has been captured We killed it, and the Yellow River is about to freeze.If you haven't surrendered yet, when will you wait?The Battle of Sanfeng Mountain became the decisive battle for Mongolia to destroy the gold, and the main force of the Jin army was basically lost.

After the Mongolian soldiers broke through Junzhou, Monk Wanyanchen hid in a hidden place.The people of the Kingdom of Jin also know that this is the number one general of our dynasty, and the hope of revival of our dynasty lies in Monk Chen, so if he is hidden, he can escape.But Monk Chen thought, if I couldn't hide, the Mongolian soldiers came to search, and I was hacked to death by a few Mongolian soldiers when I resisted, that would be too wronged.The general is planning, not being brave, even if he has a weapon in his hand, how many people can one person fight?Zhao Zilong is just a legend, no one has seen his heroism in front of Changbanpo.If there are seventeen or eight Mongolian soldiers, I will definitely not be able to resist.If these little soldiers hack me to death, I won't be able to leave a name in history.Moreover, my death would be too unjust, and the court didn't know about it. It's okay to report my disappearance, and don't make me treasonous again.I must die openly!So Monk Wanyan Chen came out from his hiding place.The Mongolian army broke through Junzhou, and has been massacring the city for several days. Almost all the people have been killed, and all the things that can be robbed have been robbed. Basically, the market has stabilized.Monk Wanyan Chen stopped a Mongolian soldier on the street and took me to meet your commander in chief. I am the general of the Kingdom of Jin.The Mongolian soldier was overjoyed when he heard that, and I captured a general from the Kingdom of Jin. How many cows is this stuff worth!So the Mongolian soldiers took Monk Wanyan Chen to see the coach Tuo Lei.

After Wanyan Monk Chen saw Tuo Lei, he said loudly: "I am also the leader of the Loyal Xiao Army, Monk Chen. I am the winner of Dachangyuan, I am the winner of Weizhou, and I am the winner of Dahuigu. I am also the winner of Dachangyuan. In the army of death and chaos, people will say that I am responsible for the country. If you understand death today, there must be someone who knows me in the world!" ("Jin Shi Wanyan Chen Monk Biography") Dachangyuan, Weizhou, Daohuigu, you Chi Laowen , Subutai were all defeated by me. If I die among the rebellious army, I am afraid that others will say that I have failed the country. Therefore, I know that I will die today, and I hope that the people in the world will know my loyalty.The Mongolian army admired it. This is a man, so they persuaded him to surrender.Your golden kingdom is gone, the emperor is fatuous, and the prime minister is treacherous. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for such a decadent regime?Monk Wanyan Chen cursed and vowed to die.The brutal nature of the Mongolian army was exposed.Good words to persuade you to surrender, if you surrender, we will be buddies, An Da.No drop?On a big iron stick.The Mongols broke Monk Chen's legs, and Monk Chen knelt on the ground and cursed.The Mongols slashed open his mouth with a knife all the way to his cheeks. Monk Chen spurted blood and scolded him bitterly, unyielding to the death.The Mongols were also moved by Monk Chen, and poured kumiss on the ground to pray for him: "Good man, I will be reborn in the future, and I will get it!" ("Jin Shi Wanyan Monk Chen Biography") If you still have an afterlife If so, let's be friends and comrades-in-arms.Monk Wanyanchen went to the disaster generously, martyred his country heroically, and fulfilled his duty as a soldier when the country was in crisis.

Yilapua was later captured by the Mongols. Although this man had no military strategy and made mistakes again and again, he had a good integrity and would rather die than surrender and die for his country.In this way, the city of Bianjing was almost naked in front of the Mongolian army. Tudan Wudian, the general of the Kingdom of Jin who was stationed in Shaanxi, still had soldiers and horses under his command. The emperor issued an edict to Tudan Wudian that Shaanxi was no longer there, so he quickly withdrew to Henan and rescued Bianjing.Tudan Wudian led an army of 110,000 troops to reinforce Bianjing, took more than 100,000 hu grains, loaded 300 large ships, and prepared to go down the river, but just after loading a few ships of grain, the Mongolian soldiers came and killed them. The boat was captured by Mongolian soldiers, and the empty boats were scared away.The Mongolian soldiers were rangers, not the main force, and were quickly repelled.Tu Dan Wudian asked the local people to carry grain, horses, and donkeys to carry food to Bianjing.

At this time, the guard of Tongguan in the Kingdom of Jin descended to Mongolia, and when the Mongolian army came to kill them, 110,000 people in Tudan Wudian scattered like birds and beasts.According to historical records: "The snow on the mountain road is frozen and released day by day, and the mud reaches the shins. The women accompanying the army throw away childish and wail to fill the road." , The snow turned into mud, and it didn't reach the calf.The common people who accompanied the army threw away the old and the children, wailing and making their way.Hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out.In this way, the two Jin armies went to rescue Kaifeng, but all failed.The 150,000 army of Sanfeng Mountain was wiped out, and this time Tudan Wudian's 110,000 army was wiped out again.Therefore, the only way to defend the city is to rely on the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing.
