Although the situation was very optimistic, Lu Dafang still advanced very carefully and asked the catapult to drop incendiary bombs on both sides with the south gate tower as the center, in order to remove all the Liao archers who threatened to pass the city gate hole and reduce the risk of the Song army approaching the city gate hole.

Especially when the Liao army blocked the Song army on the inside of the city gate, Lu Dafang even directly asked three artillery guns to aim at the inside of the city gate to shoot. After the shells passed through the city gate, they exploded directly in the city. The Liao army, which was concentrated in the inside of the city gate, suffered heavy losses and suffered a great blow.

The attacks suffered by the Liao army in Jinzhou City were not only a military blow, but more importantly, the threat of artillery - weapons such as catapults, divine arm crossbows, etc. were the weapons that the Liao army knew the most deeply about the Song army when siege the city, and there were certain solutions accordingly. However, the artillery completely surpassed their understanding, and it was the first time they had seen weapons such as incendiary bombs, crossbows, etc., and there was no way to deal with them.

In addition to being somewhat unacceptable to artillery, the Song army generals' siege against Jinzhou this time was a classic siege model for the Song army. As Lu Dafang and his subordinates continued to adjust their weapon firepower equipment, various siege weapons cooperated with each other, the battle at the South Gate was about to break the stalemate, and the Song army attacking the city gate had already begun to advance into the city. At this time, Lu Dafang finally asked the deputy general to ignite the firework order given to him by Wu Xin, and sent an attack signal to the special forces in the city.

When the siege in the city started in the morning, the special forces gathered together in the form of small teams. They divided them into several points to hide in the houses in the south of the city. After seeing the signal outside the city, they immediately rushed out of their hidden spots and then attacked the Liao army, which was busy on the streets. They were very familiar with cold weapons and street battles like this. Although they could not carry weapons such as spears, bows and arrows when entering the city, they had received strict training in close combat with steel knives. After a sudden attack, they beat the Liao army, who was unprepared for the city.

When the special forces in the city wiped out the Liao soldiers who were going to support the South Gate nearby, they quickly rushed to the South Gate. At the large number of Liao soldiers gathered on the inside of the South Gate, they threw the grenades in their hands at the heads of the Liao soldiers who were concentrating on dealing with the Song army rushing into the city. Two days ago, when they began to disguise themselves in Jinzhou City, they carried a lot of grenades on their bodies. Although the grenades were not very large in size. In order to avoid being discovered by the Liao army at the city gate, each person only brought one or two. They had tried this style of fighting many times on the battlefields of Xixia and Song dynasties, and this time they were very easy to do.

The grenades falling from the sky hit the Liao army in the city. The lethality caused by more than 500 grenades in the small area at the entrance of the South Gate City was amazing. The Liao army was like cutting wheat and was wiped out in a daze. The special forces took advantage of the Liao army's failure to react and charged the Liao army and caused huge damage to the Liao army. The Liao soldiers at the entrance of the South Gate City began to collapse under the attack of the Song army inside and outside the city.

At this time, the special forces did not love the battle. After seeing the Liao army's defense collapse, they immediately retreated with a whistle. Some were wearing the costumes of the people of the Liao Kingdom, and some were the costumes of the Liao soldiers who had just attacked the Liao soldiers on the streets. The only sign that distinguished them from the enemy was the white cloth strap tied on their arms. However, the Song army attacking the city of Jinzhou did not know what their friendly troops looked like in the city. In order to avoid accidental injuries, this special forces immediately planned countermeasures after lurking into the city. Once the Liao army front at the entrance of the Nanmen City showed signs of collapse, they immediately retreated into the city.

After evacuating the Nanmen battlefield, the special forces gathered at the pre-arranged gathering place. After gathering most of the people, they did not waste time. They immediately rushed to the yamen where the Liao army was in charge of the office. Confronting the army head-on on the battlefield was never their combat idea, and capturing the main general alive was their most important task. However, today, it was not easy to complete this task. The Jinzhou guards had already begun to think about escaping. When the members of the special forces arrived at the yamen, they found that there was no one inside. They were still one step late. In desperation, they detained all the remaining Liao soldiers inside the yamen, guarded the gate and courtyard of the yamen, changed their clothes and waited for the Song army outside the city to accept it.

It took only a day to complete the capture of Jinzhou City. In the afternoon, the Liao soldiers in the city basically did not resist. Most of the remaining Liao soldiers in the city were seriously injured, and those who could run basically fled from the north gate with the defenders. Even if Wuxin set up an ambush at the north gate and did not catch the defenders in Jinzhou City, Lu Dafang was not worried. They won this battle too easily. Originally, when Lu Dafang received the task, he said that as long as he attacked Jinzhou to attract the attention of the senior leaders of the Liao Kingdom's ruler, it was not important to the Song Dynasty. Because not only Jinzhou, but also Laizhou, it also exceeded the actual control range of the Song Dynasty in terms of distance.

The Song Dynasty's attack on Jinzhou exposed the fact that the cross-sea landing combat troops had penetrated into the Liao Kingdom. In the eyes of military generals, this action was completely redundant. Moreover, Jinzhou was too far away, so it was hard to say how long his lonely army, who was just over 100,000, could survive on the land of Liao Kingdom. Attacking Jinzhou could end the battle in one day, which won the advantage of time for Lu Dafang to plan the next combat plan and also made the Song army's actions more calm.

Just when Lu Dafang led his army to join the special forces in the city and began to clear the remaining Liao army in the city, Wuxin led more than 2,000 special forces to ambush the remaining troops of the Jinzhou garrison here thirty miles outside the city. In this battle, the Liao army did not annihilate all the enemies, but was very lucky to capture Yelu Ba, the Liao army's Jinzhou garrison, and annihilate most of the 5,000 remaining troops around him. Because there is forest around Fulonggou, the dense trees and the special forces are not familiar with the terrain of this area, there is no way to avoid losses, so as to give up the tempting idea of ​​chasing other remaining troops.

The cross-sea landing combat troops cleared the Jinzhou city according to the standards of coming to the state, confiscated all the property of the Liao nobles living here, and took over the most important granaries and ordnance warehouses for the Song army. For an isolated army in the hinterland of the enemy, there was nothing more important than supplies. After the Song army occupied Jinzhou, the abundant "collections" of the warehouses in Jinzhou city still made the Song army take a breath, and then they were overjoyed.

Since Jinzhou is the only place to pass through the Liao Kingdom to Tokyo Road, due to the large number of ethnic groups, the tribes of various ethnic groups are scattered throughout Tokyo Road. Moreover, because these tribes are constantly fighting, some tribes even pose a considerable threat to the dominance of the Khitans. This forced the Liao Kingdom to establish a considerable reserve warehouse in Jinzhou to transfer and supply the troops stationed in Tokyo Road.

The Song army alone obtained 130,000 stones of grain, and the collections in the Liao army's armory were very unsatisfactory in the eyes of the Song army. However, the arrows could be used, and the Song army also found that many of the equipment in this warehouse were standard equipment from the Song Dynasty in the past, which was probably stored by the Liao Kingdom after it was bought by the Liao Kingdom specifically for dealing with the nomadic peoples on Tokyo Road.

According to the constitution set by the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty, all cities captured by the Song Dynasty must be cleared and rich families in the city, and all their property must be confiscated. All property or other materials belonging to the Liao government in the city were also confiscated. This order was actually set for the cross-sea landing combat troops, and it was mainly aimed at Laizhou. Because the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty did not expect that the cross-sea landing combat troops that lacked traditional large-scale siege equipment could capture cities other than Laizhou.

Compared with Laizhou, the Song army's gains in Jinzhou were the most abundant - the Xu family in Laizhou was the only one in the city. Few Khitan nobles could have such wealth in their city. The commercial hostile attitude made the local Khitan people only become the role of working for the Xu family. After the Song army captured Laizhou, there was not much oil and water to make in these Khitan nobles, but the harvest was quite reasonable at the home of the Laizhou magistrate. The Xu family was not very filial to the local officials in Laizhou. Because the Liao Kingdom also had a rotation system for local officials in the Song Dynasty, the Song army could only catch this local official to bleed.

Jinzhou is different from Laizhou. The main living places are ethnic minorities and Khitan nobles. Although there are many Han people in the city, there are few wealthy families, which gives the Song army an excellent reason to take action. Even from Guancang to Mincang, the Song army worked hard for a day to gain a lot - the gold alone was less than 20,000 taels, and the silver was 400,000 taels, which made Lu Dafang think that there was a gold and silver mine around Jinzhou. These ready-made yellow and white things were in the Song army.

The harvest was quite small, and more were the various specialties, drugs, and animal furs of Tokyo Road. The Liao Kingdom continued to increase the tax rate to meet its arrogance and extravagance against the Mogus coalition and its internal Khitan nobles, which made the Liao Kingdom harshly exploit the nomadic peoples of Tokyo Road. As a must-pass place, Jinzhou had to pass through the financial and taxes of Tokyo Road, and it was also particularly excited by the Song army to obtain so many spoils.

Since the Jinzhou port was too small to be parked for large ships, after Lu Dafang concentrated the spoils for statistics, gold, silver, copper coins and other coins were directly transported onto the ship to the Song Dynasty for processing. The remaining amount of drugs, animal fur and other items, were transported back to the state by large trucks, where there were large ships moored, and it was most convenient to transport these materials to the Song Dynasty.

Lu Dafang was still very hesitant to defend on the spot or continue to march towards Dading Prefecture to further stimulate the high-level rule of the Liao Kingdom. The safest way is to defend on the spot. Now the Khitans should not know that Laizhou has fallen into the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the attacking spearheads must be concentrated in Jinzhou. At that time, Lu Dafang can choose to fight with the Khitans in Jinzhou, and then calmly break through and run to Laizhou and continue to deal with the Khitans. As long as you return to Laizhou, the cross-sea landing combat troops will be safe. With Laizhou, a port where large ships can be moored, the Song army can calmly decide whether to persevere or withdraw to the Song Dynasty.

Just when Lu Dafang was a little hesitant, Wu Xin offered him another option - to destroy it on the spot! It is very tempting to march towards Dading Prefecture, because as a soldier of the Song Dynasty, they are the Dading Prefecture that are closest to the center of the Liao Dynasty's rule in more than a hundred years. Unfortunately, their total strength is not small, but the difference is too far from the Liao Dynasty's national strength. Once they attack Dading Prefecture, all the troops of the Liao Dynasty will definitely shrink in the direction of Dading Prefecture. At that time, the cross-sea landing troops of a little over 100,000 will be human.

A dish at home. And doing this is not in line with the strategic layout of the Song Dynasty - it was a foregone conclusion that the Song Dynasty recovered Yan Yun. Attacking the Dading Prefecture was nothing more than attracting Yan Yun's defenders to move closer to the Dading Prefecture. In this way, the pressure on the Song army in Hebei was reduced, but the 100,000 cross-sea landing combat troops would inevitably fall into danger. It doesn't count how many troops could escape, but it is certain that the entire army was defeated and removed from the Song army. Such losses were unwilling to see the top leaders of the Song Dynasty rule.

Wuxin took out the "survival standards" of the special forces for reference by Lu Dafang. The current Song army divided a cavalry with good mobility to form a separate combat team, first attacked quickly towards the Dading Prefecture in the West, and then turned to the south, so that the Khitans could not understand the true power and position of the Song army. In this way, the number of Liao troops sent to attack Jinzhou would be greatly reduced, and Lu Dafang would be much easier to deal with.

After a few days, the special forces carried out a sweep of the surrounding villages and towns on the march route. In addition to the capture of Jinzhou City, Lu Dafang, in addition to the three thousand special forces, had war horses, there were about 10,000 war horses, which could meet the needs of Wuxin's combat. According to Wuxin's calculations, he would lead this cavalry unit to set off from Jinzhou on the map to draw an arc from Linzhou to Laizhou. Of course, if the war in Jinzhou is intensified in the middle, they would also return to the periphery of Jinzhou to cooperate with the Song army in the city to return to Laizhou.

The benefits of this plan are obvious. Lu Dafang also knew in his heart that Wuxin and his team were relatively small at present, but as long as they were given 10,000, the target of special forces "robbery" everywhere would be much larger. After drawing such an arc, it would be impossible to say that the giant cargo ships from the port of the state can be useful.

But then again, this cross-sea landing combat unit with about 110,000 people is a very powerful force, and the various materials consumed every day are very huge. Even the maritime transport fleet that the Song Dynasty is proud of is somewhat unbearable. After all, the distance is too far to go by the sea. If there is no way to get supplies on the spot in the Liao Kingdom, it is really hard to say how long this unit can last. However, since the capture of Zhou and Jinzhou, the supply problem was thrown behind the Song army. So much food and other arrows were enough to make the Song army persist for a long time, at least there is absolutely no shortage of food, and war weapons such as crossbows cannons can launch firearms and bricks. As long as there are stones in the city, the crossbows will not face the situation of lack of ammunition.

Lu Dafang was an orthodox professional soldier, and he was also extremely upright. He was still a little disliked in his heart. However, he understood that this theory was very popular in the high-level rulers of the Song Dynasty, otherwise the Privy Council would not have issued an order to confiscate the property of the Khitan nobles. For Lu Dafang, he was not willing to accept the position of a cross-sea landing combat general at the time. In contrast, he was more willing to attack Yanyun among the main forces of Hebei. Because the cross-sea landing combat troops played a role in restraining and putting pressure on the top ruling of Liao Kingdom, this was somewhat of a thought for a soldier. Lu Dafang did not give all the cavalry to Wuxin, but only allocated half of him 5,000 people. After joining the special forces, he formed a cavalry unit of about 8,000 people to harass the Liao Kingdom everywhere.

Although the initial vision was not met, this was enough for Wuxin and the special forces. On the battlefield of Xixia, special forces with only two thousand people still dared to attack the Dangxiang people's city, which also created extremely brilliant battle examples. Now the troops that Wuxin can control are much better than before, and there is no reason not to make trouble in the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom.

Just two days after the cross-sea landing combat troops captured Jinzhou, the news finally spread from the remaining soldiers of Jinzhou City to Dading Prefecture. The top leaders of the Liao Kingdom were immediately sent to hell, so that at the same time, the news that the Mogus coalition army was defeated by Linhuang Prefecture and retreated to the grassland could not make even a trace of warmth in the palace of Liao Kingdom. All the Liao Kingdom ministers were shocked by this news. They really couldn't understand how the Song army crossed the entire Nanjing Road. If the senior leaders of the Liao Kingdom were already a little scared when the Song Dynasty invaded the Yanyun area of ​​Nanjing Road yesterday, then today, the senior leaders of the Liao Kingdom were only afraid of the news that Jinzhou City was occupied by the Song army.
