    Chapter 299 The Destruction of the Kingdom of Jin 10 After hearing the news of the battle between Jamuka and the Kele tribe, Wanyanxiang was first surprised and then happy. What surprised him was that Sangkun of the Kele tribe was so bold. The Jin army did not enter the grassland.  On this occasion, he dared to confront Jamuhe head-on.  Fortunately, Jamuka actually fought with the Klei tribe and both sides suffered losses. This was really timely good news for the Kingdom of Jin.  News also came from Fengxiang Mansion that Han Zhongwei was willing to sell 100,000 landmines and 300,000 grenades. This made Wanyanxiang feel that there was God's will in the dark, and God blessed the gold.  Food, grass, firearms, and soldiers have all been mobilized. Everything is ready. All it takes is a good and auspicious day to send troops to Mongolia and let Jamuhe feel the tears of regret.  "My lord, King Khan of the Mongolian Kele tribe wants to see you." Wan Yanxiang was discussing with others when to send troops, and heard his subordinates coming in to report.  "Call him in, he's in the main hall." Wan Yanxiang thought for a moment and immediately knew the purpose of Wang Khan's visit. He must have also learned the news that both the Klei tribe and Jamuka were harmed.  Today¡¯s Wang Khan is indeed full of sorrow. He did not expect that just in the battle with Jamuhe, the Kelei tribe would lose more than 50,000 people, half of the warriors of the Kelei tribe.  How could Sangkun be so confused? After the soldiers of the Kelie tribe died, it would be impossible to recover without ten or eight years.  But even if Jamuka suffers losses, he can still recruit people from other tribes.  And now that Sangkun¡¯s life or death is uncertain, this is what Wang Khan is most worried about.  Since he came to Zhongdu, he can be said to have severed ties with the Kelie tribe. The chief of the Kelie tribe is Sangkun.  And the future of the Kled Tribe is also tied to Sangkun. If something happens to him, even if he returns to the Kled Tribe, he will never be the same as before.  Perhaps the only way now is to let the Jin Kingdom send troops as soon as possible. Only defeating Jamuka as soon as possible is the best solution.  In order to get the Jin Kingdom to send troops as soon as possible, Wan Yanxiang must take action as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he, the coach, is not in a hurry, when will the army of 500,000 people enter the grassland?  Although the Klei tribe is seriously injured now, why is it not the same for the Zhamuhe Plateau Zhatala tribe?  Such a good opportunity was bought by the lives of the fifty thousand warriors of the Keled tribe. Such a good opportunity was bought by the future of the entire Keled tribe.  "I've met Lord Wanyan." Seeing Wanyan Xiang arrive, Wang Han quickly stood up and bowed.  "No need to be polite, I wonder what Wang Khan has to say when he comes here?" Wan Yanxiang asked knowingly.  "The villain is here to ask your Excellency, when will Dajin's army of 500,000 people enter the grassland." Wang Han asked solemnly.  "This is a military aircraft, and it is not something to be treated with outsiders." Wan Yanxiang said lightly. Although he was also very anxious, Wang Khan was more anxious than him at this time. In front of him, he could be completely calm and composed.  "Sir, now that the Klei tribe and Jamuka's plateau Zatala tribe are fighting each other, both sides are losing. It is the best time to enter the grassland. If the time is delayed for too long, Jamuka may have a chance to breathe." Wang Han  said anxiously.  "Wang Khan, we don't tell lies in front of the real person. The art of war is as it is. The troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first. What's more, this time the emperor personally issued the order to attack Jamukha. I am as anxious as a spark. But now the treasury is empty, and Han Zhongwei of Fengxiang Mansion  It¡¯s really difficult to start the journey soon with the firearm stuck and raising prices.¡± Wanyanxiang sighed, but when he said this, his cronies had already led 10,000 vanguard troops into the grassland.  "I also know that the emperor is not afraid of hungry soldiers. It's just that when the country is rich in gold, there is no money to fight the next war?" Wang Khan said coldly. For the Mongols, as long as they have horses and swords,  , he can go out on an expedition at any time, and what food, firearms, and logistics are all nonsense to him.  Wanyanxiang blushed when she heard this. When did the Jurchens develop such extravagant habits?  More than a hundred years ago, they were not even as good as the Mongols today, but they still won the Han people's splendid country.  But now, they are like those cowardly Han people. They have no food and grass, no money, and they can't mobilize the army. This is simply a shame for the Jurchens. Wanyanxiang put aside his intention to blackmail Wang Khan. Originally, he wanted to  Kleibu gave him tens of thousands more war horses, but now, he immediately gave up the idea.  If nothing else, at least you have to worry about the face of the ministers of the country, right?  He said seriously: "Wang Khan, actually my vanguard troops have entered the grassland and are trying their best to find the Kelie tribe of the Disabled Persons' Federation. I wonder if Wang Khan has any news about them?" "What? Great, I wonder where the rest of the army is.  "When will they enter the grassland?" Wang Khan was delighted when he heard this. If Dajin's army could enter the grassland in time, it would be worth it even if the Klie tribe suffered heavy casualties.  ¡°Sooner or later, a month, or sooner, ten days.¡± Wan Yanxiang whispered.  "Okay, this is when Jamukha's morale is low. If the army of Dajin is pointing at it, Jamukha will definitely flee." Wang Khan laughed, as if Jamukha was already dead now.As if crawling at Dai Jin's feet.  "It is not necessarily possible to flee in the wilderness, but Jamuka wants to occupy the city and defend it. He knows that our army needs a lot of food and fodder. As long as he can withstand it for half a year with the help of the Mongolian city wall, our army will retreat in the face of difficulties." End  Yan Xiang had already learned that all the mines where General Jamuka was located were buried outside the city. Wan Yan Xiang was really amused by this self-inflicted behavior.  Landmines are dead. Although they are very powerful, they are not from Wantong. You have let people know that they are buried outside the city. Don't others have a way to crack them?  At least Wanyanxiang knew several ways to crack the mine formation. As long as he was given enough time, he could even deactivate all Jamuka's mines intact and leave them for his own use.  Landmines are inherently a sneak attack weapon. Jamukha used them very skillfully when he unified Mongolia, but now he has made a bad move.  Was it because he followed Han Zhongwei's idea that he was able to severely damage the Qiyan and Naiman tribes before?  If Jamuka were to go into a decisive battle with the Qiyan tribe with firearms, it would be really hard to predict who would win.  "He is seeking his own destruction." Wang Khan snorted coldly. Jamukha used to be called a hero on the grassland, but what he does now is like a coward, and he is not worthy of being regarded as Genghis Khan.  After hearing the news, he despised Jamuka extremely and never regarded him as the master of the grassland again.  "Isn't this what you and I want? We should be grateful to Jamukha for making such a stupid move." Wanyanxiang said with a smile.  "Master Wanyan, I have a heartfelt request." Wang Han suddenly said excitedly.  "You want to return to the grassland with me?" Wan Yanxiang said with a smile.  "Yes, I hope your Majesty will do it. I want to see with my own eyes the tragic situation of Jamuka being defeated," Wang Khan said through gritted teeth.  "A gentleman has the beauty of a mature man, I promise you." Wan Yanxiang muttered, in fact, even if Wang Han didn't come to him, he would let him follow him into the grassland.  Now Sangkun's life and death are unknown. Without Wang Khan's cooperation, how can he drive away the tens of thousands of troops from the Kelie tribe?  Although Wanyanxiang was the Privy Councilor of Daijin, he had to admit in his heart that the Mongolians' combat power was higher than that of Daijin soldiers, and it was much higher.  Jamuka's capital originally had nearly 200,000 troops, but now his plateau Zatara tribe suffered heavy losses. In the battle with Sangkun, they lost at least 50,000 people.  This made Wan Yanxiang feel a lot less stressed.  His certainty of victory has correspondingly increased by a few percent, and now with Wang Khan's cooperation, Kleibu and Jamuka are already at odds with each other. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. They are already in a fight to the death.  The final result can only be one, that is, one party eats the other.  Under such circumstances, Wan Yanxiang believed that Wang Han would not retain his strength.  Half a month later, the 500,000-strong Jin Army, ready to go, finally officially set foot on the Mongolian grassland.  In the past ten years, few Jin troops have entered the Mongolian grasslands. If Wanyanxiang hadn't had an army of 500,000 men this time, and the full cooperation of the Kelie Department, coupled with a huge number of firearms, he would have also  I won¡¯t step into Mongolia easily.  Looking at the endless army and the flags covering the sky, Wanyanxiang felt quite good about himself while sitting on the horse.  This time entering the grassland to fight was significantly different from any previous time.  Originally, when the Jin soldiers entered the grassland, they only had a general goal and direction, but this time it was different.  Jamukha built a capital city on the grassland that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops and people. For the sake of dignity, he could not give up and did not dare to give up the city.  This is why Wan Yanxiang found a clear target. As long as the Mongols have a fixed residence, it will be much easier to deal with them.  But even so, Wanyanxiang did not get carried away. He adopted a steady and steady marching method. He divided the army of 500,000 into five armies, front, rear, left, right and center.  Since he was at the middle height, even if Jamukha's army wanted to sneak attack on him, it would be basically impossible.  You must know that Wanyanxiang's scouts were sent a hundred miles away. No army could escape Wanyanxiang's eyes as long as it came within a hundred miles.  Facing an army of 500,000 people, it is true that no one tried to stroke the tiger's beard. Some tribes along the way even learned that Wanyan Xiang's army was going to pass through their territory. They immediately moved their tribes and waited until the Jin army had left hundreds of miles away.  , and then return to the original place.  The journey was smooth, and we arrived at the Mongolian capital more than ten days later. Even Wanyanxiang was shocked when he saw this majestic capital.  The tall city wall stretches for dozens of miles. Although it is only made of red bricks, a large amount of cement is used, so there is no doubt about its difficulty.  Moreover, the appearance of this capital city adopts a star-shaped design. Each city wall will have several branches extending out, just like an extended dock. No matter which direction one attacks from, it will be counterattacked from three directions at the same time.  Although the shape of this city wall looks a bit weird, Wanyanxiang can see the mystery at a glance.  If your ownWhen an army attacks a city, an ordinary city wall will only receive counterattacks from one direction, but here, it will definitely receive counterattacks from three directions at the same time.  Especially in front of each city gate, there will be an extended city wall on both sides of the door, making entering the city gate feel like walking into an alley.  On both sides of the alley are city walls that are three feet high and two feet wide. As long as someone dares to directly attack the city gate, they will be attacked from both sides.  And because of these star-shaped tentacles, you can't have too many troops to attack.  But the other party was able to arrange it calmly because of this. It can be said that even if Jamuka did not have firearms, he could hold on for more than half a year with such a wall.  Seeing such a city wall, Wan Yanxiang's confidence was shaken for a moment.  Can he eliminate Jamukha within half a year?  If he had a 90% chance of winning before coming to the Mongolian capital, but now that he saw this strange city wall, his chance of winning immediately dropped to 50%.  In other words, in the number of five to five, anyone can be defeated by the other.  "Set up camp five miles away." After Wan Yanxiang circled the capital, he began to issue orders.  "Sir, is it too far to camp five miles away?" Wang Khan has been following Wanyan Xiang. Not long ago, he and Wanyan Xun also surrounded the capital. At that time, they were only a few miles away.  Set up camp two miles outside the city.  "Five miles is not the end. If possible, I even want to camp ten miles away." Wanyanxiang considered morale. They came to attack Jamuka. If they were ten miles away from the capital, why not let the following  Are the soldiers in panic?  Wang Han suddenly thought of those two tunnels. Wanyan Xun's 80,000-strong army was attacked by Jamuhe because they were too close to the city. To this day, Wanyan Xun's life and death are unknown.  Ever since Wanyan Jing rejected Jamuka's conditions, there has been no news from Wanyan Xun.  With Jamukha's character, Wanyan Xun is full of misfortunes and bad luck.  "Wanyanxiang is really cautious." While Wanyanxiang was inspecting the capital, Jamuhe and Bi Zaiyu also came to the city wall. The half-million-strong army looked really spectacular, boundless, with people and war horses everywhere.  , with no end in sight.  But soon, Jamuka discovered that the Jin army that had been approaching had retreated like a tide, and finally set up camp five miles away.  "Although he has an army of 500,000, Wanyanxiang's pressure is unprecedented. These troops are the largest number that the Jin Kingdom can use now. If something goes wrong on the grassland, huh, the Jin Kingdom is in danger. Wanyanxiang this time  He would rather have no merit than make a mistake, how can he not be cautious?" Bi Zaiyu smiled, although Wan Yanxiang is quite famous, but now he is tied up by an army of 500,000 people, and he can't do it at all.  Use your abilities to the best of your ability.  If Wanyanxiang could ignore the retreat of the 500,000-strong army, maybe the capital would be the real danger. But now, even without himself, as long as Zamuyou has those firearms, he can keep the capital safe.  Therefore, the Jin Kingdom spent all their talent, material, and financial resources to mobilize an army of 500,000. Before they even left the army, it was already destined that their best outcome would be to retreat unscathed, and there was no way they could even think of making any achievements.  But now that he is here, can Wanyanxiang be allowed to escape unscathed?  "Brother Bi, when are we going to launch a counterattack?" Seeing that Wanyan Xiang had the idea of ??conserving his strength, Jamuhe immediately geared up, preparing to use the force of a snake to swallow an elephant to turn this 500,000-strong army into his own merit.  "Don't worry, we have prepared eight tunnels now, and each tunnel has been dug for nearly ten miles. No matter which direction Wanyanxiang's tent is placed, it will be difficult for him to return alive." Bi Zaiyu said with a smile.  , after creating the illusion that both sides were harmed by the Klei tribe, Zhao Shijie immediately organized his manpower and secretly started digging tunnels in the city. Because it was impossible to determine where the Jin army would camp, those tunnels were kept going.  Extend forward.  In order to ensure the ventilation of the tunnels, a thousand people are prepared to serve each tunnel.  Each person has a bellows, which concentrates the wind power into a large bamboo tube, continuously sending fresh air to every place in the tunnel.  "It's a pity that the minefields were not arranged in advance, otherwise these Jin troops would be defeated in a moment like the people of the Klei tribe." Jamukha sighed.  "Wanyanxiang is no better than Sangkun. Although you have announced to the public that all the mines have been buried outside the city, he has been extremely cautious during this trip. You didn't see that even during the march, his  The scout was also placed a hundred miles away? He is now like a fox crossing the river on the ice, taking every step carefully, "Bi Zaiyu said, since Wan Yanxiang is worried.  He came from the mentality of seeking merit but no fault. If he wanted to ambush him, it would be impossible to use his thoughts.  Jamukha¡¯s reputation for being good at using firearms has not only spread throughout the Mongolian grasslands, but is it also known to everyone in the world today?  Wanyanxiang had carefully studied every ambush battle in Jamuka. Therefore, what was Wanyanxiang most worried about during the whole journey?  mines.  His army is hereWhen we advanced, there was a mine detection team in front of us, with a total of three thousand people.  These people are far apart and the formation is dispersed. Even if one person steps on a mine, it will not harm others.  And his army has always maintained a dispersed formation. In order to guard against the mine array that Jamuka might have set up, Wanyanxiang was cautious every step of the way, for fear of making a mistake.  Can you prepare a minefield for such a person?  Don't even think about it. In order to prevent these ten tunnels from being discovered by Wanyanxiang, Bi Zaiyu deliberately dug the tunnels very deep and very far. Moreover, when Wanyanxiang's army was still two days away from the capital, he ordered the digging to stop.  They even banned any activities in the tunnel to prevent any movement from reaching the surface.  Although he had done tests and found that even if he was riding a horse underground, he would not be able to feel it on the surface. However, Wanyanxiang was now suspicious of everything and had to be on guard against Bi Zaiyu.  In fact, Bi Zaiyu¡¯s precautions were not unreasonable. The first thing Wan Yanxiang did after ordering the camp was to spread earthen jars and bamboo tubes inserted into the ground in each military camp.  Wanyan Xun's 100,000-strong army was destroyed at the hands of Jamuhe's secret way. Wanyanxiang will definitely take this as a warning and will never let Jamuhe play the same trick again.  But Wanyanxiang probably never expected that before he came, Bi Zaiyu had prepared ten tunnels. Each tunnel was at least five feet above the surface, and the ends of the tunnels were ten miles away from the capital. As long as the timing was right,  , these ten tunnels will also bring disaster to Wanyanxiang and his army of 500,000. Reprinted from ( )
