Chapter 119: Retribution

At the beginning of August of the first year of Jianyan of the Great Song Dynasty, Hejian Mansion, Hebei East Road, was only 200 miles away from Yanjing City. It is the first barrier for the Jin people to go south, and Zhongshan Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion are called "Three Towns in the North".

In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people went south and conquered the city. In March of the first year of Jianyan, Hejian Mansion, one of the "Three Towns of the North" of the Great Song Dynasty, was finally conquered by the Jin people after being besieged for two years.

Gaoyangguan Road pacifies the Marshal's Mansion, that is, the northeast of the Hejian Mansion, not far from the city wall, and it is the famous high platform and high balcony of the Hejian Mansion.

Ascend the balcony and look into the distance, the reeds outside the city are undulating, the clear waves are rippling, and the scenery is quite beautiful. Because the platform is more than three zhang higher than the city wall, standing on it, such as the mountain peak, the scenery of the streets and alleys and villages near and far is in the eyes.

Zuo Yuan, the prefect of Hejian Mansion of the Jin people, the Pingzhangshi of Zhongshu Menxia, and the beloved son-in-law of Shi Liai, the envoy of the Taining Military Festival, stood on the high balcony at the moment, looking out of the city in a daze.

The Song army approached the city with lightning speed, and he hurriedly asked for help from Yanjing, which was two hundred miles away. However, he also knew that in this hot season, the Jurchen knights, who were accustomed to retreating from the summer and the cold, would not necessarily immediately send troops to come to the rescue.

The river is located in the watery area between the Hutuo River and the Yellow River, and even if the Jurchen Iron rides it, I am afraid that it will not be able to be used.

If the ordinary Song army came here, Zuo Yuan might scoff and disdain. It's just that now it's the loyal and righteous army, and he can't help but be terrified. Even the Jurchen royal family, who was both civil and military, was killed by the Loyal and Righteous Army, not to mention that he was a nobody.

If there are tens of thousands of Song people in the city, they may be able to restrain the loyal and righteous army as a bargaining chip. It's no wonder that the Jurchens broke the city of Hejian Mansion, and the chickens and dogs were not left, and they killed the Song people cleanly!

As soon as he thought of the two "Jingguan" rumored in the army, on a hot day, Zuo Yuan felt a chill in his heart, this loyal and righteous army, I am afraid that it will be a tooth for a tooth!

Jin Taizu finished Yan and fought against Yan, from the beginning of the covenant, to Yan land six states and the Song people. Zuo Yuan's father, Zuo Qigong, immediately offered a poem and said: 'The king does not listen to the proposal of donating Yan, every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of gold'. After the left Qigong was captured by Zhang Jue, the guard general of Song Pingzhou, Zhang Jue counted his ten major crimes, "did not seek to defend Yan and surrendered", "the ministers of Jin Guo disregarded the righteousness", etc., Zuo Qigong was unable to do it, and Zhang Jue killed him.

As Han officials, Zuo Qigong and the Zuo clan, and the late Liao Hanchen Liu Yanzong and Shi Liai, etc., have no feelings for the Great Song Dynasty. These old Liao nobles, together with the Khitan general Yelu Yujian, became the most hard-working people who instigated the Jin Dynasty to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avenge the "Sea Alliance" of the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said that in history, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, these former Liao ministers can be said to have made great contributions.

If Wang Song hadn't been born, the change in Jingkang would have already happened.

What should come will always come. The Han ministers of Liaodi in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty saw that the Great Song Dynasty was rotten and the monarch was mediocre, so he took refuge in the Jin people without hesitation and gave them advice, hoping to gain a place and seek wealth for half a lifetime.

Who knows, salted fish can also turn over, and dying can also struggle. The Loyal and Righteous Army was born, killing all sides, fighting in Fuzhou, and the vitality of the Lou Room Army, the most elite of the Jurchens on the Western Road, was greatly damaged. In the first battle of the Daimyo's Mansion and Handan, the heads of several members of the Jurchen royal family were cut off!

It's better to be famous than to see it. Standing on the high platform, looking at the neat formations outside the city, the solemn military appearance, the only bit of courage in Zuo Yuan's heart disappeared in an instant.

As a wealthy family in the Northland, Zuo Yuan grew up in the army since he was a child. Whether the soldiers are well-trained and brave and good at fighting, he can tell at a glance.

The team of tens of thousands of people, under the scorching sun, raised their heads and chests, did not move at all, and was silent. Even the Jurchen elite does not have such a military appearance!

"Zuo Governor's Mansion, these Song dogs are just like goods, do you want to go out of the city to cover up for a while?"

The Jurchen officer next to him finished Yan Hu, but he didn't look down on the Song army outside the city at all. In his opinion, these people outside the city are all showmanship, as long as two or three hundred Jurchen cavalry, they can rush the Song army outside the city to pieces and collapse.

"Are you stronger than Lou Murujun?"

Zuo Yuan glared at the arrogant and domineering Jurchen generals on weekdays, and turned his head away.

"Order the soldiers, stick to the city wall, and don't attack without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Zuo Yuan dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

The scorching sun was scorching this desolate land, and the few elm trees in the wilderness were also weakened by the sun, and all the leaves were gone. Only the cicadas above are still singing, unaware of the hardships of this world.

On the city wall of Hejian Mansion, a group of golden soldiers did not care about the heat, holding knives and guns, and the sweat on their heads kept flowing to the ground, and they stared at the loyal soldiers outside the city.

Time passed minute by minute, seeing that the sky was getting dark, seeing that the other party had filled in the moat, and seeing that the other party did not attack, but retreated. The golden soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and this day was considered to have survived.

The moonlight hung like a hook in the air, and everything in the field was blurry. The torches on the city wall are unusually bright in the dark night, illuminating the surroundings of the city wall as if it were day, even the rats that constantly appear under the city wall are also clearly visible.

In the night from the city wall, countless loyal soldiers were waiting and ready to go.

"Ma Xuanzan, do you think this city wall can be blown down?"

Looking at the vague tall city wall in the night, Liu Qi still couldn't believe it in his heart.

Ma Kuo laughed and continued: "Wait a while, Brother Liu will naturally know."

On the opposite side of the city wall of Hejian Province, the patrolling golden soldiers are weak, and the sky will be bright, which is the coolest time of the day and the best time to sleep.

Wang Xi leaned against the battlement wall, and when he seemed to be asleep, he suddenly felt that the mountain shook for a while, and he could no longer stand steadily, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"The earth is ......!"

Wang Xi was dizzy, and his face was also scratched by the green bricks on the ground, and he was in hot pain. Before he could get up, he suddenly saw the wall in front of him shake violently. Before he could shout, he felt a sharp pain, and his body was thrown into the air.

The entire city wall seemed to be torn in half from the middle, and countless earth and stones flew into the air from the ground, and then fell again.

The smoke cleared, and by the light of some of the lights on the remnants of the city wall, the army looked forward, only to see that the city wall in front of them had completely collapsed, revealing the dark and gloomy buildings in the city.

Liu Qi was shocked and drank loudly.

"Brethren, go into the city!"

When we passed through the gap in the city wall, which had been unobstructed, the ground was full of wriggling golden soldiers, with stumps and broken legs everywhere, and the ground was full of broken bricks and clods.

The golden soldiers on the city wall lost their souls, they shouted and screamed in panic, opened their bows and arrows, and shot at the Song soldiers who rushed towards the gap. Song Bing's earth-shattering thunder also threw it up, and both sides fell in an instant.

The artillery prepared by the Song army opened fire together, and the golden soldiers rushing on the city walls on both sides were knocked down, and the rest hurriedly lay down and could no longer raise their heads.

"Pikemen, storm the walls! Rack up the cannon for me and kill these shit!"

Zhao Yuanlong led people to attack the city wall, came to the front of the city tower, cut the rope on the pole with a knife, and the big flag fluttering the word "gold" fell down and fell to the ground.

"Raise our banner!"

Zhao Yuanlong threw the banner of the golden man on the torch that fell to the ground, watching it burn brightly, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.

The banner of the word "Song" was raised high and waved in the wind. Song Bing's spirit was lifted when he saw the banner, and the panic in Jin Bing's heart increased a little.

In the city of Hejian Prefecture, the school field is tightly surrounded. The strength of both sides reached about five or six thousand men. The sound of artillery continued to sound, the golden soldiers suffered heavy casualties, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they were driven to the middle of the school field, and the pikemen pounced, and the two sides began a tragic white-knives battle.

Countless spears were stacked on top of each other, and after the self-confident and brave Jin soldiers fell three or four hundred people, they began to retreat step by step, and their positions became unstable.

"Grenadiers, come forward and blow up these shit!"

Countless grenadiers stepped forward, and the explosions of "Tongtong" continued to sound, and the remaining golden soldiers could no longer endure such torture and fled in all directions.

"The whole army stepped forward, and no one was left!"

Seeing that the golden soldiers in the school field had been in chaos, they formed a trend of collapse. Niu Tong commanded his soldiers to chase after the fleeing routs in front.

Countless Song cavalry rushed over. One by one, the golden soldiers were knocked over and cut down. Their speed slowed down slightly, and they fell into the pursuit of the Song army's infantry, and were constantly stabbed and cut to the ground.

"Leave no mouth alive, so that the beasts know that the blood debt is paid in blood!"

In the yamen of the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, it fell into a fierce fight.

From the gate to the yamen courtyard, corpses and blood, broadswords and spears were everywhere, scattered broken stones, charred shallow pits, and everywhere was a mess.

"Governor Zuo, the Song army is about to attack the lobby!"

Zuo Yuan, who was struggling to write, did not change his face, just nodded, and then stopped speaking.

The servants hurried out. Zuo Yanei, who is corrupt and vulgar on weekdays, is so calm and composed, which makes him a little surprised.

The golden soldiers receded like a tide, and one by one they were overturned by the thorns and blown to the ground. The soldiers of the Loyal Army pressed forward, and the path they passed was full of blood and corpses.

Li Sanwa took the soldiers and rushed into the yamen hall. Everyone solved the remnants of the soldiers, but found that behind the case in the yamen hall, there was a Jin soldier general sitting and still copying something.

"Pretending to be a ghost, you are innocent of death!"

Li Sanwa snorted coldly, lit a sky-shattering thunder, and threw it over.

The explosion of "Tong" sounded, and the case was safe and sound, but the chair collapsed. The man was blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and it was extremely ugly.

Liu Qi stepped forward and saw two words of different sizes densely written on the table paper, "retribution".

"Aiding and abusive, incorruptible and shameful! You know you've done a lot of evil, but it's too late!"

Liu Qi grabbed the paper on the table and raised it one after another.

"Listen, brethren, and leave not one of those who are stubbornly resistant!"

The city was filled with the sounds of chasing, begging for mercy, swords and guns entering the body, artillery, and thunderstorms. There was no mercy, no sympathy, only bloody, merciless killing.

In this city, the Song people, regardless of men and women, old and young, even infant babies, were slaughtered by the Jin people, leaving only ruins and corpses all over the city, and countless blood and tears of the Song people.

The city was filled with panicked routs, and the sounds of pursuit and killing continued until sunrise, when the various sounds stopped.

On the banks of the Hutuo River, countless captured Jin soldiers were tied up and knelt on the ground. The executioner's angry shouts rang out, and countless large knives slashed down.

Amid the shouts, the cries, and the cries, the big heads fell to the ground, and the blood stained the wilderness red, and flowed into the river, and the river was red.

In the early morning of August 6 in the first year of the Great Sage Jianyan, on the south bank of the Hutuo River, north of Hejian City, a huge "Jingguan" faced the north bank of the Juma River controlled by the Jin people.

The heads of the people are hideous, piled up like mountains, and they are like hell on earth. Seeing this scene, the Jin soldiers on the north bank of the Hutuo River rode their horses and headed north, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

The cowardly and bullying Song people, how could this be? How could they be so fleshy, how could they be like this

The three towns on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, Taiyuan Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion were finally under the rule of the Song people.

At this point, when autumn came, the summer offensive of the Loyal and Righteous Army came to a successful end.
