Chapter 466 Shi Jin's Highlight Moment
Chapter 466 Shi Jin's Highlight Moment
(How about this?)
Wanyan Aguda dared to rebel against Liao with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he dared to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor in less than a year. With 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, food and fodder were fully prepared, as well as firearms, so he naturally dared to occupy Liaodong.
After capturing Liaoyang Prefecture, less than 5,000 of the 20,000 Liao soldiers in the city surrendered.
Liaoyang Prefecture, as the eastern capital of the Liao Kingdom, had a temporary palace built there, storing large amounts of gold, silver, and other valuables as well as food and fodder. There were also many Liao nobles in the city.
Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun and other generals led their troops to search the homes of the Liao nobles in the city, gathered the looted property in one place, and handed it over to the iron-faced official Pei Xuan for counting.
Afterwards, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun and Lu Da each led 5,000 troops to the south and east to capture cities large and small in southern Liaoning.
Lu Cheng did not kill all the Liao troops. He selected a part of them and dispersed them into various armies. He confiscated weapons and armor from the remaining ones, and arranged them to do hard labor in preparation for farming.
Since Liaoyang Prefecture had previously withdrawn troops from nearby cities, the nearby cities were left with a lack of troops. Hua Rong, Lu Da, and Pang Wanchun captured cities and occupied large and small cities and fortresses near Liaoyang Prefecture with almost no effort.
Afterwards, the army rested for a few days, reunited, and split into two groups again, one heading south to attack Chenzhou and the other heading east to attack Hengzhou.
By the time the Liao Kingdom mobilized troops from other places and prepared to retake Liaoyang Prefecture, Lu Cheng's troops had basically occupied the entire southern Liaoning region.
Lu Cheng has even issued orders to arrange for the people in southern Liaoning to start planting crops to ensure the normal operation of the people's livelihood economy.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng ordered the army to raise the banner of Yangwei Army and establish its own regime.
Starting from July, in less than three months, Lu Cheng occupied nearly 7 square kilometers of land in the southern Liaoning Peninsula with troops, and expanded the number of troops to , preparing to defend against the attack of the Liao Kingdom.
Of course, there were only three months in total, and the surrendered Liao soldiers had not yet completely returned.
But as long as we can go through one or two wars and hold on to southern Liaoning, the rest will be slowly digested.
In this era, ordinary people do not have much loyalty to the country. Even if the flag on the city wall is changed and the leader is changed, as long as they can have enough food to eat and live a stable life, they will quickly turn to the new regime.
After Lu Cheng's troops occupied the southern Liaoning Peninsula, they quickly stabilized the country and the people, and used the food and supplies obtained from the house searches to stabilize the market economy, set up a temporary government office, arrested bandits who took the opportunity to cause chaos, and stabilized social order.
Today, the entire southern Liaoning has returned to peace and resumed production.
At the same time, as the Jin army's western route was advancing with great momentum, the Liao emperor was integrating the country's army to prepare to annihilate the Jin army, and he simply could not spare too many troops to attack Liaoyang Prefecture.
Moreover, the Liao Kingdom had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem in southern Liaoning, and only sent 5000 cavalry and infantry, a total of troops, to Liaoyang Prefecture.
In order to concentrate its forces to recapture Liaoyang Prefecture, the Liao Kingdom did not even allocate troops to attack Jinzhou.
In early November of the fifth year of Zhenghe, 50,000 Liao troops arrived at the city.
On the wall of Liaoyang, Lu Cheng sat on the top of the city wall, with Pang Wanchun and Shi Jin on his left and right.
As for generals such as Lu Da, Hua Rong, and Yuan Lang, they were assigned to garrison in various places.
Among them, Hua Rong led his troops to Hengzhou on the east bank of the Yalu River to guard against Goryeo.
Long before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, Goryeo had sent troops to attack the Jurchen tribes and was defeated by them many times. It was not until the establishment of the Jin Dynasty that Goryeo established relations with the Jin Dynasty and became a brotherly country.
Moreover, Goryeo had always wanted to take advantage of the war between Jin and Liao to attack Liao's territory. If Lu Cheng had not led his troops to occupy southern Liao, Goryeo would have wanted to cross the Yalu River.
At this time, the Liao army under Liaoyang City did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, a general walked out of the army and challenged the top of the city.
Looking at the Liao general holding a mace under the city, Shi Jin stepped forward and said, "General, please let Shi Jin go out and kill the enemy general."
Lu Cheng nodded slightly: "Take 300 cavalrymen out of the city. After killing the enemy general, don't be greedy for credit. Just move within the range of the arrows on the city wall."
"The general will get the order at the end."
As soon as Lu Cheng waved his hand, the two young generals immediately beat drums to cheer and shout for Shi Jin.
Pang Wanchun on the side took out an arrow, put it on the bowstring, stood behind the parapet of the city gate, and supported Shi Jin.
As the city gate opened, Shi Jin raised his spear and jumped on his horse, charging straight at the enemy general.
As the drum beats intensified, the two men approached quickly. The Liao general swept the mace in his hand, trying to knock Shi Jin off his horse. Shi Jin also met his attack with a gun, and with a loud bang, he knocked the mace out of the opponent's hand.
He then quickly reined in his horse and turned around, stabbing the Liao general to death with a single spear before he could react.
As the first general to follow Lu Cheng, Shi Jin had always been loyal and hardworking, and Lu Cheng had never treated him unfairly. He gave Shi Jin all the strengthening pills, body-building methods, swords, spears, sticks and clubs.
Today, Shi Jin is skilled in archery and horse riding, has a calm temperament, and has the bearing of a great general.
After killing the enemy general with one spear, Shi Jin held the reins of his horse with his left hand, pointed his spear at the Liao army formation opposite, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to fight me?"
A Liao general immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Shi Jin.
After just one move, Shi Jin grabbed the opponent's spear with his left hand, thrust the spear forward with his right hand, pierced the neck of the Liao army general, and then threw his body to the ground.
For a moment, the Liao army outside the city was silent, and no one dared to come and fight.
A moment later, three generals rushed out of the Liao army formation at the same time and killed Shi Jin.
Pang Wanchun frowned: "This Liao army has no moral principles. They actually want to outnumber us. I will shoot them off their horses."
Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, believe in Shi Jin's ability."
Three Liao army generals, one holding a broadsword and two holding spears, surrounded and attacked Shi Jin.
Shi Jin was not in a hurry. He turned the spear in his hand, shaking off the blood on the red tassel on the spear head. Then he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rushed straight forward.
At the moment when the two sides were engaged, Shi Jin swung left and blocked right, knocking away the weapons of the two enemy generals on the left and right, and then swept his spear across, directly knocking the third Liao general flying and falling off his horse.
Afterwards, Shi Jin turned his horse's head and rushed straight towards the enemy general who fell off his horse. The horse under his crotch stepped directly on the chest of the enemy general. The enemy general immediately vomited blood from his mouth and died on the spot.
Afterwards, Shi Jin rushed forward again, facing the two enemy generals who had just turned around.
Seeing that their companion was dead, the two enemy generals were a little panicked, and the spears in their hands were inevitably messed up. Shi Jin seized the opportunity and pierced the neck of one of the enemy generals with his spear. Then he snatched the spear from his hand and swung it casually, pinning the last enemy general to death under his horse.
These moves were quick and efficient, and in less than three rounds, all three enemy generals were defeated.
Shi Jin stood at the foot of the city wall, spear in hand, and leapt on his horse. He looked ahead and said in a loud voice, "Who else dares to step forward and die?"
There were cheers from the top of the city walls, but there was total silence below the city walls.
The five Liao generals sacrificed their lives to help Shi Jin, and also greatly boosted the morale of the people on the city wall of Liaoyang Prefecture.
Seeing that the Liao army on the opposite side was defeated, they immediately stopped and prepared engineering equipment to prepare for the siege.
As for taking advantage of the situation to attack and break into the city, one could tell that this was impossible just by looking at the archers and rolling stones and battering rams that were ready for battle.
However, that very night, Lu Cheng personally led the cavalry out of the city with Shi Jin and attacked the enemy camp at night...
