Chapter 131: Before the War

Wang Song opened the clairvoyant mirror and looked to the north, and the defeated soldiers who had finished drinking had not yet walked half a mile, but they all stopped, sat on their horses one by one, stood by the road, and let the official and Taoist master out.

Wang Song was shocked, he looked carefully, and saw that on the horizon in the distance, dense ironclad knights appeared one by one, stretching for several miles, slowly coming, and the number of people was unknown.

The desolate horn sounded, and Wang Song's heart jumped, this should be the main force of the Jurchen cavalry.

Walking in, seeing the style of the hood and armor, Wang Bin's heart sank. This is the reinforcement of the Jurchen cavalry, and the only one who can make Wanyan Sali drink and let out of the official road and garrison the troops is probably only Wanyan Lou Room of the three armies of Yongguan.

Wang Song looked at his exhausted and scarred subordinates, and his heart couldn't help but sink. From the morning to now, the soldiers have not dripped, if the other party pours into the nest, I am afraid that the loyal army will be more auspicious.

"Order the whole army, eat and drink on the spot quickly, and there will be another fierce battle soon!"

Wang Song shouted loudly, and the heralds beat their horses downhill, galloping back and forth among the armies, conveying military orders.

"Wang Xianggong, the Jurchens have suffered heavy losses, with such large casualties, they shouldn't continue to fight with our army, right?"

Zhi Yuezhi asked suspiciously.

"Others don't know, the three armies of the Yan Lou room are brave and far-sighted, but it is very likely."

Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, I'm afraid it will be a vicious battle in the future, Xianggong should take care!"

"When there is no hero, make the shaft famous!"

Wang Song snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Today, I will finish Yan Lou's room and let him know that I still have heroes in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Seeing that the Jurchen soldiers in the distance were getting closer and closer, Wang Song beat his horse and went down the hillside, and the ironclad guards of the Xuanfu Division followed behind him, slowly moving forward from the crowd of soldiers.

Everywhere he went, the soldiers stood up respectfully, and one by one they unconsciously straightened their chests, even though they were exhausted.

Wang Song rode slowly forward in the barracks, greeted the soldiers, and saw that the soldiers had basically finished eating, so he rode to a high ground.

"Brothers, there is a fierce battle next, everyone must cheer up and let Fanzi know that I also have hot-blooded men in Da Song!"

The soldiers slowly stood up, and Wang Song pointed to the black Jin soldiers on the opposite side and said, "Do you know what the name of the general on the other side is?" After finishing Yan Lou's room, I heard that he has a nickname, called "God of War". ”

In the middle of the soldier's stroke, a person shouted loudly: "Xianggong, this Wanyan Lou room, the villain knows, I heard that he is the first warrior of the Jurchen Seven Waters Department, and he has the courage to be unstoppable." The war is even more powerful, and he has never been defeated, so he is called the god of war. ”

Wang Song nodded and said loudly: "Today, I am going to have a big battle with this Wanyan Lou room." I want this female god of war to know, and let all the fans know who the hell is the real god of war! You say, who the fuck is the god of war?"

The soldiers below were enthusiastic and said loudly: "Xianggong is!"

Wang Song knows very well that the brave wins when the two armies meet, and in today's battle, his soldiers have been fighting with the other party for half a day, and there are 15,000 people, and only eight or nine thousand people remain. The Jurchens on the other side, the cavalry alone has exceeded 10,000, plus the black and oppressive Han'er, there are at least 20,000 people.

Now the only way to do this is to rely on a few shells and earth-shattering thunder, as well as the courage of the sergeants.

"Brothers, although there are many fans, they are not worth mentioning in my opinion. Two swordsmen, meeting on a narrow road, fell under each other's swords is not ashamed, and eighteen years later they are a good man again. What makes people look down on is that you don't dare to pull out the sword in your hand! ”

Wang Song shouted loudly, but in the clichΓ©s of later generations.

"When two armies meet, who will win?"

"The brave wins!"

The soldiers' passion was already surging, brandishing their swords and guns, and letting out an earth-shattering roar.

Wang Song beat his horse down the hillside, raised the spear in his hand, and the soldiers raised their arms and cheered all the way, Wang Song shouted loudly: "Array, beat the drum!"

The battle of the loyal and righteous army was quickly assembled, and everyone was forced to endure fatigue, waiting for the final desperate fight.

In the sound of drums, the dense Jin people slowly came, the Jurchen cavalry was on the side, and the Han was in the center, and the number was overwhelming, filling the entire field.

Two miles before the battle, the Jurchen formation stopped, but this time it was Han'er in front and the Jurchen cavalry behind.

Once again, Han'er became cannon fodder for the Jurchens. Wang Song looked at the faces of these people and knew the helplessness of these wall riders.

Han'er usually carried grain and grass and served as a labor coolie, and when he encountered a big war, he had to rush to the arrows and stones, and he was killed in vain and used as cannon fodder. In the case that Wang Song was born out of thin air and the Jurchen cavalry was wantonly annihilated by the loyal army, the role of Han'er cannon fodder was particularly important.

You can't let the Jurchen warriors with a small number take the lead, and let these men with weak fighting spirit follow up.

The wind blows fiercely, and the grass on the walls will suffer.

The Jurchen army is boundless, and they are also looking at the loyal and righteous army in front of them, those fierce and vicious Jurchen generals, everyone has a solemn face at this moment, and they all put away the contempt and arrogance in their hearts.

Dong Cai, the commander of the Han army, set his sights on the battlefield that he had just fought.

Densely packed with the corpses of Jurchen knights and Han'er, the flesh and blood are blurred, miserable, layered on top of each other, the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, there are corpses everywhere, and there is blood everywhere.

In the Jurchen array, the men in the front row were all pale, some were trembling, some were frightened, and all of them were afraid.

"Drink it, you ......"

Wan Yan Lou's face turned pale, and he raised his horsewhip, but he didn't pull it.

Originally, I thought that the northern and southern battalions would flank the loyal and righteous army, but I didn't expect to report to the army to come, and in just over an hour, the southern battalion had already been defeated.

It's not that it's a rout, but it's a lot of casualties, and the ten or three left behind, Han'er even ran away in a large area, in the vast wilderness, and he didn't know where he fled.

Wanyan Sali is a Jurchen royal family, even if it is Wanyan Zonghan and these people, he has to give him three points, let alone talk about Yan Lou's room.

The matter has come to this point, what is the point of punishing Yan Sa and drinking again.

Seeing the uneasy Han army array next to them, the Han'er faces were as pale as earth, and Wan Yan Lou was annoyed in his heart, and snorted lightly.

Dong Cai's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly came out of the horse and came to the front of the Han'er battle array.

He raised his horsewhip, his face hideous, and it made people shudder.

"Brothers, don't say I didn't tell you. Think about your family, if you don't want to be a slave, if you don't want to be sold to the tile family, let me go into battle to kill the enemy, don't think about running away. Otherwise, you know what will happen!"

Wan Yan Lou looked at the listless Wan Yan and drank it, and then looked at the expressions of the Han people, and his voice became gentle.

"General Wanyan, tell the Han'er that if you kill the enemy bravely, the slave can become a concubine, and the concubine can be promoted to an official. If anyone can kill Wang Song, a thousand taels of gold, and a high-ranking official, it will not matter!"

Dong Cai was resigned, returned to the Han'er formation, and roared loudly.

"You have also heard the words of the commander, as long as you kill the enemy bravely, slaves can become concubines, and concubines can be promoted to officials. If anyone can kill Wang Song, a thousand taels of gold, a high-ranking official. You all heard clearly, if anyone escapes from the battle, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

Seeing that in front of the Jurchen army, a Han man was showing off his might there, his mouth was like a river, and he was talking endlessly about the large array of foot soldiers. , Wang Song couldn't help frowning.

"Ma Xuanzan, do you know who this man is, who works so hard for the Jurchens?"

Ma Kuo looked disdainful, and replied to Wang Song: "Xianggong, this person's name is Dong Cai, now called Wanyan Cai, Dong Hu, the leader of the Han'er who was annihilated by us in the Jinning Army, is this person's nephew." Dong Cai turned out to be an official of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens went south, and Dong Cai, together with Geng Shouzhong, Li Sichu, Guo Yaoshi and others, took refuge in the Jurchen soldiers. Forget your ancestors, shameless!"

Wang Bin nodded and said, "It turned out to be him, I will kill this thief today!"

Dong Cai is the leader of the rebel army in Nanjing Province at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and the historical records are: "Dong Cai, a native of Yizhou Lushui, a young and poor man, Shen Xiong is decisive, called Dong Pang'er, recruiting township soldiers to fight with the Jurchens, defeated, the main general wants to cut it, only to die in the valley, so he is a thief, plunders the state and county, and the number of thousands of people is defeated, and the Liao people cannot control it."

Later, Dong Cai was defeated by the Liao army, and at the same time faced the advance of the Jin army, so he switched to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty accepted Dong Cai's surrender and gave him the name Zhao Xu. Although Dong Cai was very attentive to the Song court and advocated going north to recover Youyun, but after the Jin and Song Dynasty started the war, as soon as the Jin army arrived, they immediately "rebelled in Jinzhou, that is, they rebelled, and Hedong lost so much", so that Jin Ting "and Dong Cai surrendered, and knew the land of the Song Dynasty", attacked the Northern Song Dynasty more freely, and gave him the surname Wanyan for this purpose.

Ma Kuo shook his head and said: "Xianggong, don't look at Dong Cai running up and down, jumping so much, it's all for the Jurchens." When you go to the battlefield, you should still run, and you won't be obligated because of a few words. ”

Niu Gao's eyes widened and he asked puzzledly:

"It works, too! Feelings, this Dong is acting?"

Ma Kuo nodded and said, "Everyone is acting." Dong Cai is not the end of Yan Lou's room. ”

Wang Song nodded. The Jurchens asked Han'er to act as cannon fodder and made all kinds of promises, obviously all of which were flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Han'er knows that he is cannon fodder, how can he be fierce in battle? When the two armies are deadlocked, it is often the Han Er who breaks down and scatters, not for anything else, but to flee for his life.

Ma Kuo and Niu Gao glanced at each other, Niu Gao approached Wang Song, blushed and whispered:

"Xianggong, what is going on next is a vicious battle, you better leave first to make sure you do. The villain's wife and children are old and young, so they will be taken care of by the prime minister!"

Looking at the boundless Jurchen army on the opposite side, Dong Ping's face was also solemn, he came up on the horse and stood beside Wang Song.

"Xianggong, the thief is powerful, you still leave first, Zhang Heng will definitely respond later, don't be rash and miss the big thing!"

Wang Song glanced at Niu Gao and Dong Ping, his eyes swept over the surrounding generals, and raised his voice.

"Your wives and children, go back and take care of yourself. Today, there is no advance or retreat, and when the congregation army obeys our military orders, it will be brave to kill the enemy!"

Xu Hu and Li Xiaochun still stepped forward to persuade them, but Ma Kuo shook his head lightly and stopped a few people.

At this time, no one could persuade Wang Song. If Wang Song leaves the battle, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be weakened immediately, and it may collapse without a fight.

Except for Wang Song, no one can convince the army.

As if knowing everyone's thoughts, Wang Song said softly: "Yang Zaixing, pass down the military order, and today the prime minister and all the brothers will advance and retreat together." For those who died on the battlefield, their wives and children were taken care of by the army. Kill the thieves, let's gather together in Taiyuan City, and this official will reward the three armies!"

Yang Zaixing rode away, shuttled among the army groups, and shouted loudly, causing a jubilation among the officers and men in the army.

"Wang Xianggong is in charge, what else do we have to worry about, just kill the thief!"

"There is Wang Xianggong to take care of him at home, and it's worth it if he dies!"

In the big array, a sergeant laughed and said: "Xu San, I heard that you have a good friend in Taiyuan City, this time you have made military achievements, I'm afraid it's time to enter the cave room!"

"It's not big or small, call me Commander Xu!"

Xu San rolled his eyes and endured the pain on his body.

"After I go back, I will get drunk for three days and sleep well!"
