Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 550 Persuading to Surrender

The Jurchens are waiting for the Song army to attack!

A quarter of an hour passed, and the Song army did not launch an attack.

Half an hour passed, and the Song army still did not launch an attack.

However, more and more Song troops gradually arrived around, and their encirclement became tighter.

An hour passed, and the Song army still did not launch an attack!

For an entire hour, the Jurchens were in a state of tension! They were already ready to fight to the death, but now their determination to fight to the death has involuntarily dissipated a lot.

"Not good! We have to launch an attack immediately!" Seeing that the morale of the Jurchens seemed to be starting to drop, Wanyan Zonghan was startled and hurriedly said.

There is a saying in the art of war that "one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion", when they were completely surrounded just now, the Jurchens were in a desperate situation and were about to launch a deadly battle, with the highest morale! Even though the morale of the Song army on the opposite side is high, it is impossible to compare with such a heart to fight to the death!

However, the Song army never launched an attack, and their morale finally began to decline.

"Where do we launch our attack from?" Wanyan Zongpan asked.

"Still from the north!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

To the north are more than 50,000 crossbowmen led by Wu Jie, there are traps on the left and right, and more than 100,000 Jurchen women are blocking there to the south. Under such circumstances, they can only continue to go north.

The Jurchens raised their weapons one after another, preparing to attack the north, and their morale rose again.

At this moment, a few people faintly came towards here from the north.

It was snowing heavily, and the Jurchens couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, but they suddenly became vigilant.

Not long after, they were taken aback when they saw that these people were wearing Jurchen clothes too!

These people stepped forward in the snow, and finally the Jurchens could see their faces clearly. The leader was about forty years old. He was different from the general Jurchens' bravery. With a sublime elegance.

"Teacher!"

"It's Master Grand Master!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the Jurchen army!

It turned out that the one who came from the opposite side was Wan Yanchang, the former Jurchen Grand Master, and he also came to Liaodong!

Communication was backward in this era, and after the fall of Zhongjing, Wan Yanchang surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but these Jurchens in Liaodong have not received any news yet! Even Yelu Dashi, Yelu Yilie and others at that time did not get the news of Wanyanchang's surrender.

"It's me, don't shoot arrows!" Wan Yanchang shouted immediately when he saw the Jurchen on the opposite side.

Several Jurchen soldiers came towards Wan Yanchang, seeing that it was indeed the "grand teacher", their faces showed delighted expressions.

"Where is Zong Han?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"It's right there!" A Jurchen soldier pointed aside.

Wan Yanchang looked over there, and sure enough, he found that Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Quan and others were all there.

He nodded, and walked towards Wanyan Zonghan and the others, and Wanyan Zonghan and the others had already greeted them at this moment.

"Grand Master, you are still alive?" Wan Yan Quan asked in surprise after seeing Wan Yan Chang.

"Of course I'm still alive." Wan Yanchang said with a flash of shame in his eyes.

"Wanyanchang, I heard that the city of Zhongjing was broken. How could you still be alive? You didn't give your allegiance to Dajin? Also, why did you come from the Song army?" Wanyan Zonghan said coldly.

After Wanyan Zonghan finished speaking, Wanyan Quan froze for a moment, and stayed there, and all the surrounding Jurchens also put away their smiles.

"After the destruction of Zhongjing City, I was captured by the Han!" Wan Yanchang said.

"Why are you in the Song army?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"I don't know why they brought me to Liaodong." Wan Yanchang said.

"Why did they let you go?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"They asked me to persuade them to surrender." Wan Yanchang said.

"To persuade you to surrender?" Wanyan Zonghan was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "This is impossible!"

"Grand Master, you should know that my Jurchen man never surrendered! My Jurchen man will fight to the death and fight the Han people to the death!" Wan Yanquan snorted coldly.

"What's the point of fighting? What's the point of all dying here? Most of the 100,000 soldiers in Zhongjing City surrendered to the Song army. If they can surrender, why can't you surrender?" Wan Yanchang said.

"What!" Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongpan, and Wanyan Quan all stayed there, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"It's impossible! How could my Jurchen soldiers surrender?" Wanyan Zonghan laughed loudly.

"Zong Han, this is true. Most people have surrendered! Because resistance can only lead to death, it is better to live than this! You are resisting now, and you have only death! You know it is a dead end, why choose a dead end?" End Yan Chang said.

"We might still be able to escape!" Wan Yanquan said loudly.

"Escape? How did you escape? Marshal Du, do you know how many Song soldiers are around here?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"How many people are there?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"A full 200,000 Song soldiers are here. These 200,000 Song soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought in the South and North for many years. They are more powerful than our Jurchens!" Wan Yanchang said.

Hearing the figure of 200,000, Wanyan Zonghan and the others looked even more ugly!

Wanyan Zonghan looked around, there was a dense Song army in front, and the rest of the direction was also Song army. These Song troops were completely different from those Khitan rebels, they were much stronger than the Khitan rebels! They can defeat a million Khitan rebels, but they can never defeat 200,000 Song troops!

"The commander-in-chief of Song Dynasty said that if you don't agree to surrender, they will kill you here at all costs! He will never allow our Jurchens to escape back to the mountains. They think that our Jurchens are a threat, and they will either Let's destroy them all, or let us surrender." Wan Yanchang said.

"Impossible! We will fight to the death! We are Jurchen men, not afraid of death!" Wan Yanquan said coldly.

"Okay! You are not afraid of death, you can die here, and all the soldiers here can die here! The commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty also asked me to tell you that if you resist to the end, they will kill all the insiders when they arrive at Huining Mansion in the future." All the Jurchens, as well as those prisoners of war who surrendered in Zhongjing, will be killed! At that time, all of our Jurchens will be exterminated, do you think it is good?" Wan Yanchang said.

"If we surrender, will the Han people let the people of Huining Mansion go?" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Not bad!" Wan Yanchang said.

"After we surrender, how will the Han people treat us?" Wan Yanquan asked, biting her teeth and holding back her anger.

"The commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty said that after the surrender, all men will be reduced to slaves!" Wan Yanchang said.

"I can't agree!" Wanyan Quan shouted angrily again.

"I haven't finished yet, not a lifelong slave, but a ten-year slave! All men have to work for the Han people for ten years! After ten years, we can still be free!" Wan Yanchang said.

"What about our woman?" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Our women can still survive in Liaodong, and they can wait here for our return! Moreover, Song Jun promised that our wives and children will not starve to death, and they will provide us with a certain amount of food! Song people have always had a good reputation , They will definitely fulfill their promise." Wan Yanchang said.

"We will not surrender in humiliation!" Wan Yanquan said stubbornly.

"Zong Han, Zong Pan, think about it carefully!" Wan Yanchang said.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongpan both had struggling expressions on their faces. They looked forward from time to time. The Song army there did not relax at all, and was still ready to attack at all times! The Song army in other directions is getting closer and closer, and the encirclement circle is getting smaller and smaller!

The Jurchen soldiers beside Wanyan Zonghan had also heard Wanyan Chang's words at this moment, and they were all thinking blankly at the moment.

"We need to have a good discussion!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"Okay!" Wan Yanchang nodded.

At the moment Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Quan, and other chiefs and chiefs gathered together to discuss this matter. There were quarrels among them from time to time, especially Wanyan Quan was very angry. He objected Anyone who says the word "summation"!

Half an hour had passed, and the news of the peace talks gradually spread, causing discussions among the Jurchen army.

Countless Jurchen soldiers looked at more and more Song Army soldiers around them with hesitant expressions on their faces! They don't know how capable the Song army is in melee combat, but the Song army's crossbows are far stronger than them. If the war starts, they really don't know how many people will survive! Moreover, they came here all the way from Huanglong Mansion, and their bodies were exhausted to the extreme!

The desperate heart in the Jurchen army is also slowly exhausted!

Hundreds of thousands of Jurchen women are at a loss at this moment. They all long to survive, but they also find it difficult to accept the word "surrender"! But the cries of babies kept coming from the women's team. Many women looked at the babies in their arms or the three or five-year-old children beside them with unbearable eyes.

Wanyan Zonghan and others were still arguing there, Wanyanchang thought about it and walked over again, and everyone stopped immediately.

"Zong Han, look behind you, can this army still fight the Song army?" Wan Yanchang said.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the Jurchen soldiers behind him, seeing the Jurchens talking a lot, and countless people with longing eyes, he was in a panic! Before, there was still a desperate heart in the army, but now there is only struggle and hesitation! Originally, the number of Jin soldiers was far inferior to that of the Song army, so they were no match for the Song army!

"Zong Han, it's up to you to decide whether our Jurchen family can survive!" Wan Yanchang said.

"We didn't really fight the Song army, so we don't know the strength of the Song army! Now we are just trapped here, let us surrender, we refuse to accept!" Wanyan Zongpan walked up at this moment, gritted his teeth.

"We have been at war with the Song army for more than eight years. How can we say that we have not fought? In Guanshan, we were defeated. In the Central Plains and Yanyun, we were defeated. In Shangjing and Zhongjing, we were defeated. In Chuhedian, we also lost. Defeated! Now only 50,000 people are left in the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Jin Kingdom, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?" Wan Yanchang asked rhetorically.

"This..." Wanyan Zongpan froze there.

"The soldiers and horses that went south into the Central Plains were the strongest soldiers and horses in my Dajin Kingdom. They were all wiped out in the Central Plains by the Song Army. How much better can you be than them? The 50,000 soldiers and horses that came out of Hedian were defeated by the 100,000 Song Army. Annihilate, now your 50,000 troops are facing 200,000 Song troops!" Wan Yanchang said.

"Zong Pan is right. If you surrender like this, I, Wanyan Zonghan, won't accept it!" Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth.

"How can I convince you?" Wan Yanchang said.

"In the Great Song Army, if someone can defeat me, I will surrender!" Wanyan Zonghan said abruptly after being silent for a moment.

"Okay!" Wan Yanchang nodded without any hesitation.

At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan had already seen that Wanyan Chang had completely surrendered to the Song Army. Seeing that he agreed so simply, Wanyan Zonghan said: "I am the number one person in the Dajin Army today, and my martial arts are also the best of the Dajin Army. First, among the generals of Song Dynasty, can anyone beat me?"

Wan Yanchang laughed and said: "Just wait! But you can't go back on your word!"

Wanyan Zonghan sneered and said, "Am I, Wanyan Zonghan, a repentant?"

Wan Yanchang didn't say any more, and immediately led the previous Jurchens towards the direction of the Song army. Not long after, a general of the Song army walked over from the opposite side.
