Chapter 077: Fighting for Glory (2)
A group of Song cavalry with iron armor and long swords were shining, they showed off their might, galloped out from the flanks, and soon crashed into the battle group of the Jin soldiers, causing a commotion.
These Song army knights were rampant, fierce and abnormal, and the two Song generals who took the lead were extremely violent, and wherever the two went, the Jin soldiers were invincible, and they were planted one by one, and none of them were spared.
"Xianggong, Xianggong!"
Seeing that the main general was going out, the morale of the Song soldiers was greatly boosted, and they followed closely, shouting loudly, all of them were desperate to slash and kill.
"It turned out to be Wang Song, the thief!"
Under the firelight, Wanyan Yinshu could be seen clearly, and he couldn't help but hate again and again. Wang Song and Zhang Xian galloped vertically and horizontally, with a fierce momentum, and came straight towards the banner of their Chinese army.
Wang Song raised his iron spear high, beat his horse to speed up, and shouted loudly: "Wanyan Yinshu, there is a kind of don't go, leave your dog's life!"
Wang Song rode forward, and the cavalry of the Youyi army followed behind, heading straight for Wanyan Yinshuke's headquarters.
Seeing that Wang Song's Song army was so arrogant, and Puluhu, the commander of the left army, was like thunder, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said loudly to Wanyan Yinshu: "All go first, I'll resist a Song dog for a while!"
After finishing the silver technique, there was no time to stop it, Pu Luhu had already beaten his horse and left, and his subordinates of the tiger and wolf soldiers shouted wildly, brandished their blades one by one, and went straight to the Song army.
Wang Song smashed over a golden soldier, raised his head, and saw a piece of Jurchen cavalry coming vertically and horizontally, they were fierce and abnormal, the long knife was waved from time to time, and the Song soldiers were constantly cut down and knocked to the ground.
"Rush forward!"
Wang Song couldn't help but be furious, and rushed forward.
As soon as the two sides met, it was life and death, and the knights turned on their backs, fell off their horses, and screamed loudly.
Pu Luhu slashed down with a knife, and Song Jiang directly blocked it with the body of the gun, and then smashed down the iron spear.
Puruhu's wrist was numb, seeing that the opponent's iron spear was smashing, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, he tried his best to block, the long knife in his hand was knocked out, and the iron spear was smashed again, Puruhu avoided the iron spear, but the opponent's gun was smashed on the horse's back, and the war horse fell down with a scream.
As soon as Puluhu got up from the ground, a majestic and unusually strong Song knight arrived at the horse, and the iron shovel like a bolt in his hand fell head-on, and Puluhu's skull collapsed and fell to the ground with a bang.
Wang Song rushed into the group of golden soldiers, smashed and stabbed, and everywhere he went, there was almost no one who could.
The commander of the rear army, Salu, was frightened, and couldn't help asking: "Who is the Song general who is the leader, so powerful?" Who is that black man, whose divine power is so amazing? ”
"Who else can it be, this person is Wang Song!"
Wanyan Yinshu said coldly, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he was indifferent to the panicked Jin soldiers.
"The big black man next to Wang Song is called Niu Gao, who has the courage of ten thousand people, and Zhang Xian, the golden gun general, are all famous warriors among the Song people!"
Salu broke out in a cold sweat, nodded again and again: "It turned out to be Wang Song, a dog thief, and he is really a hero!"
Beilu took a group of men and horses and went to the treasury in the northern corner of the city. Along the way, all the golden soldiers who fled in a hurry were encountered. Occasionally, they encountered a group of aggressive Song troops, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, leaving seventy or eighty corpses behind each. When he killed the other party, when he arrived at the North Street entrance, there were only a dozen people left around him.
The soldiers of the Yisheng Army stationed in the baggage warehouse were originally soldiers, but at this time there was no one in front of the door, the door of the warehouse was wide open, and there were weapons and other sundries thrown everywhere.
Cuplu opened the gate with a spear, and rode in, just as dozens of soldiers of the Yisheng Army with burdens on their bodies came out, apparently to flee with their wealth.
"A group of wall grass, kill them all, and don't leave a single one!"
Enraged, Beilu led the cavalry forward and assassinated dozens of panicked Han'er on the spot. More than a dozen people rode into the backyard together.
"You guys guard the middle door, don't you look for some tung oil with me, and prepare to set it on fire."
After the cup was finished, he dismounted and went to the courtyard to look for something to burn.
"The golden thief, if you don't tie your hands, you will be captured, and what are you doing here!"
Beilu and the others brought tung oil out, but they saw dozens of war horses in the front yard, which were full of majestic Song cavalry. And in front of these Song army horses, seven or eight corpses were staggered, and it seemed that their subordinates had suffered an accident.
"Song Gou, Lao Tzu fought with you!"
Beilu pulled out a long knife, and several people went straight to Yang Zaixing and the others.
Yang Zaixing rode up, shot hard, and slashed Huashan, the long knife in Beilu's hand was smashed away, and the person also "poofed" and sat on the ground.
Yang Zaixing and the knights fought their horses and marched forward, raising their swords and guns at the same time, and the people of Beilu screamed again and again, and never stood up again.
"I'll take someone to guard the baggage warehouse, and you immediately notify General Zhang or Xianggong and let them send troops to come."
Yang Zaixing asked people to close the outer door of the baggage warehouse and led people to hold on. He stepped forward and pushed open the door of the storeroom, and he was stunned by the mountain of supplies inside.
The grain was piled up into a mountain, and there was no end in sight, and in the midst of the towering stacks, Yang Zaixing felt that he was extremely small, and the Jin soldiers went south to invade the Song Dynasty and plunder the heavy grain and grass from the Song people, and inadvertently returned to the hands of the Song people.
Wang Song was blocked by the Jurchen army, stagnated, and soon fell into a desperate battle, seeing the Jurchen army slowly withdraw out of the north gate. Wang Song was disappointed in his heart, but he was helpless.
Wanyan Yinshu withdrew from the north gate, and when he saw that the defeat was decided, and there were countless casualties, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Deputy commander, General Cuplu hasn't come back yet, do you want to wait?"
Wanyan Yinshu's eyes were cold, and he hit the horse forward, and he didn't even look back.
"You, don't you want your dog's head anymore?"
Salu scolded in a low voice: "Cuplu has not come back yet, and there is no movement in the granary, so it must be more than lucky." Why don't you give the order quickly, do you want to disobey the military order?"
Cold sweat flowed from the sergeant's forehead, nodded again and again, and hurriedly chased after him.
The sky was slightly bright, the Jurchen army all withdrew outside the city, the artillery of the loyal army kept up with the bombardment, and the Jurchen army did not stop, and headed towards the north.
Zhang Xian led the cavalry and wanted to go out of the city, but was stopped by Wang Song. With the cavalry of the loyal and righteous army today, the battle cannot be a big victory, and the defeat will cause heavy losses, everything is due to strength.
The military order was issued, and the loyal and righteous army took control of the four city gates and the two gaps that exploded, and set up artillery to prevent the Jin people from counterattacking.
There was silence outside the city, and the golden soldiers in the city were still fighting, and the sound of fighting came and went.
Thousands of Jin soldiers failed to break through and were strangled by the superior forces of the Song army.
Arrows flew sideways, explosions burst out, and the streets and alleys were full of dead and wounded, and corpses were strewn strew. How could Jin Bing have thought that they once slaughtered the Song people like pigs and dogs, but now the retribution has come to them.
The scope of the battle was constantly shrinking, at first the whole city, then the city wall, and slowly became several mansions, with flesh and blood everywhere.
The loyal army withdrew from the battle, and the righteous victorious army, who revolted halfway, took over the battlefield, and these soldiers knew that this was the so-called surrender, but they were helpless.
Six or seven thousand Yisheng soldiers surrounded hundreds of trapped beasts and fierce soldiers in the courtyard. It wasn't until the sun was high that the fighting in the city subsided.
The armies began to treat the wounded, track down the captures, and dispose of the corpses in the city. At noon, smoke rose from all over the city, and the smell of food filled the entire Taiyuan city.
On the city wall, the city wall, and the east and west teaching grounds, although the corpses of the golden soldiers were all removed from the city, the entire ground in the city was still stained with blood, and there were traces of swords and fires everywhere, and the wounded soldiers were piled up in half of the school field, which showed the fierceness of the battle.
The battlefield has been cleared, and more than 10,000 horses have been collected. In the treasury, the grain is piled up. Other harvested swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor, longbows and crossbows are innumerable, and the military materials in Taiyuan City are really jaw-dropping.
The Jin people did not succeed in going south, and all the hoarded materials were cheaper than the loyal and righteous troops who broke through the city.
There were tens of thousands of pieces of armor stripped from the golden soldiers, and the corpses were all pulled outside the city and buried.
Seeing the casualties reported by the various armies, Zhang Xian's hands couldn't help but shake twice. A sneak attack night battle with so many casualties among the sergeants!
The only thing that can comfort people is the number of casualties and captures of the Jin soldiers.
"I really don't know how to substitute for the prime minister!"
Zhang Xian shook his head and came to the yamen of the Taiyuan prefect, where Wang Song's Xuanfu Division was stationed.
When he entered, he was told by the soldiers that Wang Song had gone to the school field.
Zhang Xian came to the teaching field, but found that Wang Song was dressed in white, and Zhao Ruolan followed beside him, in front of and behind him, busy on the school field.
The dignified Xuanfu envoy was busy working in the crowd of the wounded.
"You see, when you put on the splint, you can't be too tight, you can't be too loose. If it is too tight, the blood will not flow smoothly, and it will not be too loose to play a fixed role. ”
Wang Song carefully packed the two wounded, and then put a splint on the leg of another wounded. taught Zhao Ruolan and others hand in hand.
Zhang Xian stepped forward and called Wang Song, who was sweating all over his head, aside.
"Xianggong, our army lost 9,342 people, 2,249 were seriously wounded, and countless minor injuries were inflicted."
Wang Song nodded. The Song army had artillery and earth-shattering thunder, and it was still a night attack, and there were tens of thousands of heavy casualties. The combat power of the Jurchens is extraordinary.
Perhaps the only takeaway from this battle was that the Loyal Army had become a real iron army.
"What about the casualties and captures of the Jin?"
Wang Song pointed to the open space beside him and sat down.
"Xianggong, you have gained a lot!"
Zhang Xian sat down next to Wang Song and opened the booklet.
"11,769 bodies were collected, 2,359 captured; 10,739 war horses, more than 10,000 pairs of armor, more than 300,000 arrows, more than 200,000 stones of grain, thousands of barrels of gunpowder, silk and satin, and countless gold, silver and jewelry were captured. ”
The Jin people were preparing to invade the Song Dynasty in the south, and the materials transported from all over the country gathered here and piled up. Wanyan Yinshu couldn't imagine that the loyal army attacked the city so quickly, and broke the city overnight, and the heavy grain and grass naturally became the bag of the loyal army.
Wang Song nodded and said, "Cut off the heads of the Jurchens, put them on lime nitrate, and go to Beijing to offer prisoners." ”
"Xianggong, there was a big battle last night, and more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded by the Yisheng Army, and there are about 4,000 of them, and they are now being repaired in the east school field. The Righteous Victory Army is quite powerful, and its strength should not be underestimated!"
Wang Song nodded, Han'er Foot Pawn was originally an ownerless wandering spirit, but now it can be said that he has returned to his original figure.
At night, the dense torches illuminate the Xijiao field like daylight, except for the soldiers who defend the city around, all the Song soldiers, including the wounded Song soldiers, are assembled here, this is to participate in the cremation of the remains of the fallen soldiers, as well as the farewell ceremony of the remains.
On the huge school field, the corpses of nearly 10,000 Song soldiers who died in battle filled half of the school field, neatly arranged and placed on the wooden pile. Among the 20,000 or so soldiers, the uncontrollable crying continued, and everyone looked sad.
After the ceremony of paying homage to the remains, Wang Bin looked solemn, picked up a bowl of wine, and shouted loudly:
"Rest in peace, brethren, you are all heroes of the Great Song Dynasty! Drink this bowl of wine, I'll take you home!"
The wine was slowly sprinkled on the ground, and the torches were thrown on the pyre, and the flames rose into the sky, piercing the night sky.
“…… Driving a long car is broken, and Helan Mountain is lacking. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. ...... from the beginning"
In the middle of the battle, the mournful and passionate singing sounded, and all the troops were in tears, unable to help themselves for a long time.
