But in a few days, there were densely packed Mongolian troops outside the capital.

The Mongolians sent two routes of thousands of cavalrymen to the south and west, sweeping and looting surrounding villages and towns. Almost all the people who did not escape in time were killed.

The Mongolian Army Camp was built on the high ground opposite the outer avenue of Shangjing.

Shangjing City was built in an imitation of the Han city, but it did not strictly follow the direction of the building facing north and south, and the front face was facing southwest. There were still many Han-style fortresses around Shangjing City, which were still sticking to it.

The Mongols could only siege Shangjing, and then divided their troops to eliminate the surrounding city blocks one by one.

The reason for this is related to the origin of the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, Liao Taizu was originally the governor of the former dynasty, but at the end of the previous dynasty, the civil war was seized. Many people from the Central Plains and the Hebei people fled north. Liao Taizu found the opportunity and ordered people to build a city on the grassland that could see the residence of the Han people. It was called "Seoul" and accept the people fleeing north.

Then they took advantage of the chaos to go south, plunder the people on the border, and placed them in Seoul. Subsequently, these Seouls became larger and larger, and the bloody battles of warlords in the Central Plains drove many people to the north.

Liao Taizu was very smart and accepted refugees in the Central Plains and learned advanced architectural forging and management techniques from them. Later, he was forced to abdicate by the leaders of various Khitan tribes. The request was to retain all Seoul and he managed and led.

Then, relying on these basic platforms, he quickly turned around, used tricks to kill all Khitan leaders, established the Liao Empire, and completed the transformation from tribal alliance to country.

These historical reasons also lead to the fact that although Shangjing is located in the grassland Gobi, there are almost flat grasslands to the south, and the mountains to the north are not high. In a typical grassland capital, there are many Han-like city blocks in the main urban area and around.

It is difficult to break through quickly after the Mongolian army siege.

...........

At the top of Temujin's mountain, below is Shangjing City, surrounded by groups. The Mongolian army outside the city has several layers inside and outside, and has surrounded it. The front line has been opened for four or five miles, extending endlessly.

The 50,000 elite army has surrounded Shangjing, but the Mongolian army is not good at siegeing the city, and Temujin is also very troubled.

After two days of besieging the city, they kept firing arrows and scolding in the city, and launched a surprise attack, but they all ended in uselessness.

The north wind swept across the ground? The dead grass was bent down weakly? The vast expanse of the capital, with flags flying? The crowds of people and horses were chaotic? Temujin couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Mu Huali opened the important land of the northern valley for him, and thousands of good people died in the river valley? Now Shangjing is in front of him but cannot take it.

Temujin's heart became more and more hostile, and he said viciously: "When the city is broken? I will slaughter all the people in the city! Let them understand the consequences of disobeying me, Genghis Khan!"

All the soldiers around them applauded? For them, the people in the city have nothing to do with them, but if they die, they can plunder everything at will? That is the best.

After a while? Two thousand households on the South Road came back in a hurry, "Khan, we have captured two cities in the south."

"Where are the defenders in the city?" "All of them were killed, they killed many of our brothers."

"Well, I will reward you? All the robbed wealth in the city belongs to your two thousand households? Remember to reward the soldiers and don't embezzle them all." Temujin said.

Two thousand households thanked each other.

After a while, a messenger from the south came along the distance? Passing through the army camp? Climbing up the slope and riding a horse to gallop in the middle of the army.

What it brings is not good news? The Wusha Castles in the south are still holding on to it and it is difficult to conquer.

Temujin was very dissatisfied after seeing it and his face was not good-looking.

"A few small fortresses can stop our army..."

Mu Huali interrupted: "Shank you, we can decide the outcome on the grassland, but we are not good at attacking the toughest. If the southern army came, they would definitely fight such a battle with them.

The same is true for going to Beijing now. From here, there is a large army of Jing Kingdom about 400 miles south. The Jin Kingdom is a vassal state of Jing Kingdom. You should be careful of the rear and be careful of Jing Kingdom."

Temujin frowned after hearing this: "Do you think they dare to hit us?"

"Nei Liao and Jin Kingdoms are not opponents, and Jing Kingdoms are definitely not afraid of us." Mu Huali made his own judgment.

"Well......You lead five thousand households to the intersection twenty miles south to set up camp and guard the rear of the garrison army to guard the people of Jingguo." Temujin said, "In addition, I will send someone to talk to the Emperor of Jingguo. Our two countries can have a good alliance. If Jingguo allows us to take Beijing, I will repay them accordingly."

Temujin has experienced dark suffering since childhood, and is able to bend and stretch, and at this time he also makes compromises.

He didn't know how terrifying the foundation he created would reach. At this time, his understanding of the power of Mongolia was probably able to compete with the Jin Kingdom, and he no longer took Xia Kingdom seriously, but there was still a gap between defeating the Liao Kingdom and defeating the Jin Kingdom Jing Kingdom.

Just looking at the weapons and powerful crossbows sold to them by the people of Jingguo, you can know the difference.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the Jin Kingdom and avenge the country, he had to endure and bow his head to Jingguo, a great southern country.

He did not know his terrifying position in Li Xingzhou's heart at this time. After all, he had not been defeated at this time. The Xia army did not defeat the Jin army, and did not defeat the Central Asian overlord Khwarezm. What people could do was often unpredictable.

Temujin is not the one who is so angry that he is as powerful as a tiger, so he himself doesn't know how powerful he is.

......

Outside Huizhou City, on the south bank of Yinshui, four elite battalions of the New Army were arranged here, and eight battalions of the local wings were stationed on both sides.

The military camp faces south and north, horizontal and vertical, with Yin water as a screen to block the north and south.

This place has also become the place with the largest number of troops stationed in several prefectures in the West Liao Road, and the capital is higher than that of the capital of the West Liao Road.

Huizhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only an opening on the south side. The three avenues from the north converge at the north side. If the northern army wants to go south, it must pass this pass. Go north further, and there are many routes to take.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Xingzhou and Yang Hongzhao no longer ceded land to the north after discussing. They could take it, but could not keep it.

Although every inch of land is valuable, no inch of land is allowed, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for the farming nations, some lands either have no strategic value or can drag a country to death, which is not worth it.

The people’s feelings of family and country must be protected, but decision makers must be clear in their minds.

In the past few days, a large number of refugees and deserters appeared in the north of Huizhou, and there were also Tatars chasing behind them. After chasing them two or three miles north of Huizhou City, facing the Jing army on the other side, the Mongolian soldiers hesitated.

The refugees and deserters are desperate to cross the river. Whether to accept them for a while or not, whether to protect them will suddenly become a big problem.

However, the situation was urgent, and the new army commander made a quick decision and ordered the killing of hundreds of vanguards who tried to cross the river. The river water was instantly dyed red, which scared the refugees behind.

If a large number of refugees attack the military camp on the south bank, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Then, while sending people to the south to ask for instructions from the governor of Liaoxi Yang Hongzhao, he sent a new camp to lead two military camps across the river, gathering and detaining refugees on site.

A battalion of the new army carried rifles to quickly build trenches on the north shore to prevent any changes.

After a brief exchange with the Mongolian cavalry, everyone could not understand the other party's words, the Mongolians were finally afraid of the warhead of the Jingguo army and stopped chasing them.

The new army commander also set rules that refugees who could escape here could survive, and those who could not escape were killed by the Mongols would not be rescued, because he was just a small regiment commander, and he could not make the decision whether he could provoke a war with Mongolia.

The next day, the Liaoxi Jiedushi and Huaihua General Yang Hongzhao rushed to the Huizhou front line.
