Chapter 116: The Wind and Clouds Move
On the top of the stone mountain in Fuzhou, a dangerous mountain near the river, towering and precipitous, this is the Fuzhou City, an important border town in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Dangxiang Qiang clan migrated to Fugu, and since the Tang Dynasty after the five dynasties, the city of Fuzhou has been repaired many times and has been used.
Fuzhou, Linzhou, and Fengzhou are close to Western Xia and have been repeatedly invaded; In the land of the border fortress, the Tibetan and Han people lived together, and the Tibetan tribe rebelled and was impermanent; Fuzhou was also the center of good horse trade, the Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and the imperial court relied on the Zhejia army to supply war horses. Because of the important topography of the three states and the fact that they are located west of the Yellow River, they are called the three states outside the river.
Due to the critical strategic position, Fuzhou was promoted from town to county, from county to state, from state to army, and finally promoted to Jiezhen. The fold family was familiar with the border situation, and the Song court ordered the fold clan to keep the land, hereditary prefectures, and use its subordinates to eat and rent. For more than 200 years, the Zhe clan has taken over the military and political power, and there are 14 people in the 7th century. The nameless frontier land soared and became the "special administrative region" of the Great Song Dynasty, which can be regarded as a great spectacle of the government and the opposition.
The Zhe clan came from the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was a family in the upper reaches of the Yellow River since the Northern and Southern Dynasties. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 200 years, the Zheshi town guarded the valley for hundreds of years, resisted the Khitan, resisted the Western Xia, started to build from the state city, the Fuzhou city is the famous military fortress in the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song, Liao, Xixia, and Jin had fought many fierce battles here, which can be described as a thousand miles of yellow sand, and every inch is bloody.
The inner city of Fuzhou is built on the mountain, steep and strong. The throat of the first line of the north city, the east and west are adjacent to the deep stream manga ditch and Majiagou, the south blocks the Yellow River, the south gate is on the cliff, and the west gate is the stone cliff towering, steep and abnormal. The only pity is that there are no wells in the city, and the soldiers and civilians can only draw water from the two water gates in the southeast for drinking.
During the reign of Renzong, Fuzhou sentenced Zhang Zhishun Mountain to build the outer city, five miles long, the height is mostly about two zhang, the ravines outside the city are connected, the outer side of the outer city wall is steep and dangerous, and the wall is rammed and built. The inner city and the outer city face each other in the north and south, and the auxiliary vehicles depend on each other, and the advantages of the terrain are the strong barriers of the state city.
Nowadays, the city wall outside the city of Fuzhou has collapsed in many places, swords and fires, traces of dirty flesh and flesh are everywhere, and the open space outside the city is full of stiff and cold corpses, and even the huge trench outside the city wall has been filled with stumps and broken bodies. The corpses at the city gate and inside and outside the city walls were stacked on top of each other, piling up more than one person high, which showed the tragic situation of the battle.
Broken flags, scattered wooden ladders, rolling stones, knives, guns, shields and swords, guns and shields thrown on the ground, corpses full of feathers and arrows, blood, internal organs, broken arms and legs. Vultures hover in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to fill their bellies, wild dogs haunt herds, hiding in the dead grass, ready to move, and the heavens and the earth are filled with the cruel smell of death.
The snow slowly began to fall, getting heavier and heavier, and gradually the whole heaven and earth became white, and it also temporarily covered the mess and ugliness on the ground. The night slowly darkened, and the uncontrollable cries of the people were heard in the city from time to time, which added a bit of desolation and dead silence to the state city.
These days, the Jin people have conquered cities in the three states outside the river, and many fortresses have been captured by them, and there is killing and blood everywhere.
More than 10,000 soldiers of the Zhejia family, according to the city and defended, the Jin people repeatedly came to fight, but in today's battle, the Zhejia army actually killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, and countless minor injuries. I really don't know what this Jin man is going to do, like crazy, he sacrificed his life to attack the city, completely ignoring the casualties of his subordinates.
The same is true of Linzhou, most of the outer fortresses have fallen, and the city of Linzhou is surrounded by layers of Jin people, fighting bloody battles all day long.
Fengzhou has been captured by the Jin, and Baoning Fort and Yongning Village have been breached. Everywhere the Jin people went, the forts were broken, the people of the forts were killed, and the women, children, old and young became the souls of the sword.
The soldiers who died in the war have been hastily buried in the army, and there is not even a tombstone left. At present, everyone is in danger, and no one knows whether there will be a tomorrow. Survivors don't have time to grieve and remember their loved ones, so they can only wipe away their tears, gather their mood, and face the next bloody battle.
The Jin soldiers who attacked the city and fought to the death in front were mostly Han'er in the clouds "Kyushu behind the mountain", while the Jurchen cavalry was stationed from a distance to watch, and once there was an opportunity, it was a feather arrow galloping to support the Han'er siege. These days, most of the people in history were Han'er infantry, but the Jurchen cavalry was not injured in the slightest.
The soldiers of the Zhejia army defending the city hated it so much that they could only clench their swords and guns, draw their hard bows, and fight desperately. I don't know what benefits the Jurchens gave to these Han'er, and they were able to make them fight so willingly!
In the fierce battle with these men every day, you can always see the Jurchen iron horsemen galloping outside the city, shouting from east to west, from north to south, and looking directly at the children of the city as nothing. Seeing the smoke billowing out of the villages everywhere, the flames soaring to the sky, the people being killed like pigs and dogs under their noses, and the women crying on the back of the Jin people's horses, these soldiers of the Western Army could only watch, biting their lips, and their steel teeth "sizzling", and they were helpless.
After Yan Lou's room attacked Shaanxi, broke through Yan'an Mansion, and the Suide army was like a bamboo, and the left wing of the Western Xia Shenyong Army Division was eyeing the flames at any time. The Jurchen soldiers had 20,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and it seemed that they wanted to take the three states outside the river into their pockets.
The only good news in the hearts of the army and the people is that the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army has captured Taiyuan City, and they can retreat to Yizhou after completing their Yinshu. The emissaries of the Zhe family have already gone to find rescue, and Wang Song should soon lead the army of the Loyal Righteous Army to the west to reinforce Fuzhou.
I just don't know, with the Jurchen people's character of retribution, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu will wave their troops south and wait for the opportunity to recapture Taiyuan. In this way, whether Wang Song can come or not, everyone is also worried in their hearts.
I can only look at the providence in the dark.
In the camp of the Jurchen Chinese army, there is a woven carpet around the tent, the Jurchen generals sit in a circle, the fire is blazing in the middle, and on the huge grill, there are two tender ones, and the strong milk wine is fishy, and the fragrance of roast sheep is intertwined, mixed into a strange taste.
"Sali drink, I heard that you lost the battle and had to retreat, yes or no?"
Wan Yan Lou Room ate the mutton cut by the sergeant, took a sip of hot wine, glanced at Wan Yan Sa Li on the other side, and asked in a low voice.
Originally, it was planned to finish Yan Sali from Tongzhou into Hedong, and he rushed north and south to capture Taiyuan City. Who knew that in Fengxiang Mansion, he was blocked by the subordinates of the Wu Jue brothers of the Song army, and he lost his troops and had no choice but to retreat to Fuzhou.
Now this battle is getting harder and harder. It turned out that there was only Wang Songyi's loyal army, and now there are Wu Jue and Wu Lin brothers. If it continues like this, when will the Dajin Dynasty recover the entire Central Plains?
"Lou Mur, if I enter Hedong, before your army arrives, won't my subordinates be surrounded by the Loyal Legion! Let's think of another way, don't make a big deal. Don't talk about Wang Song, the strength of the Western army of Shaanxi is not to be underestimated. ”
After Yan Lou didn't speak, Dong Cai, the commander of the Han army on the side, hurriedly said.
"What the vice capital said is! If you want to get rid of Wang Song, you must first destroy the western armies in Shaanxi, otherwise the two will become horns of each other, and they must be annihilated one by one, and Wang Song will be isolated. ”
The total number of the western armies in Shaanxi is also more than 100,000, and their strength should not be underestimated. The original two-sided attack, due to the constraints of the Western Army in Shaanxi and the desperate fight of the Zhejia army to defend the city, became a joke.
Wan Yan Lou Room nodded, it seems that in terms of strategy, some adjustments still have to be made.
A trace of cruelty immediately appeared in his eyes, and the established plan was in vain, so he took Fuzhou down and cut down the northwest bridgehead of the Song Dynasty.
"If I'm here, I will definitely fight that Song dog looking for teeth all over the ground, I don't know who the surname is?"
There was a lot of elation in the big tent, and all the Jurchen generals laughed. Wan Yan Sali had a good temper, and he didn't care, but just laughed lightly.
Wan Yan Lou didn't think so. The Lou army is the elite of the Jurchens, even if it is the guard and pro-army that the emperor Wanyan Wu begged to buy, it is not too much, and it is not unreasonable to be arrogant with the generals.
"Sa Li is drinking in Shaanxi, you say, will Wang Song know that our army is waving troops in Fuzhou?"
The Jurchen warrior Pucha Shijianu said indistinctly while chewing on the mutton.
As the son-in-law of Wanyan Aguta, the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom, although Pucha Shijianu is nearly forty years old, he is still strong and strong, and he is more fierce and brave than the Jurchen warriors in their twenties.
"The traffic from Shaanxi to Hedong has been completely cut off, how can Wang Song know!"
Someone shook his head and said loudly, causing a burst of echo from the Jurchen generals in the tent.
"That's it, that's it, Liu Dog Shit abandoned the city and fled, we occupied Yan'an Mansion, Suide Army, Wang Song will never know!"
"Most of Shaanxi has been occupied by our army, and the rangers are infested, and Wang Song knows that our army is assembled in Linzhou, Fuzhou!"
Another Jurchen warrior with a tiger's back and a bear's waist put the wine bowl on the table, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, and the urn sounded angrily.
"What if Wang Song knows? If he comes, I will cut off his head and make it into a wine bowl, and see if Song Gou dares to brag about what kind of "race overlord" he is!"
The generals all laughed, and the wine bowls clattered. Wan Yan Lou Room and Wan Yan Sa also looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled. Everyone in the tent looked relaxed, as if Song Jun was like a local chicken and tile dog.
"That being said, you should be careful. A few days ago, Wang Song went to Hebei, and Wushu suffered a big loss, and many tribal warriors died. Wang Song, there is still some ability. ”
I don't know if it was the Jurchen general, and he said a sentence coldly, which made the cheerful atmosphere in the tent stagnate for a moment.
Wanyan Wushu, that is, Wanyan Zongbi, the Jurchen warrior in history, Jin Wushu, led the army of the East Road to besiege the Daimyo's Mansion in Hebei, suffered heavy casualties, and had to return to Yanjing.
When the news came, the Jurchen army on the West Road was in an uproar.
"Wushu is young and vigorous, and he is definitely not Wang Song's opponent. If you want me to say, if you want to destroy Wang Song, you have to be my Western Route Army, my Lou Room Army!"
He said nonchalantly, completely ignoring the Eastern Route Army.
Since the Xuanhe period, the Jurchen army destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasty, the Western Route Army has made great contributions, whether it is the capture of the Liao Emperor, the capture of Taiyuan City, or the destruction of the Western Army of the Southerners, it is the masterpiece of the Western Route Army, and the Lou Room Army is the elite of the elite of the Western Route Army, the division of the tiger and wolf.
In comparison, the Eastern Route Army was much inferior. Especially during the siege of Tokyo City that year, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Wanyan Zongwang, was killed, Guo Yaoshi and other fierce generals were idle, and it was inevitable that the Eastern Route Army could not compare with the Western Route Army.
"It's useless to talk more, we still have to take Fuzhou City as soon as possible, and then wave our troops south, and catch Wang Song off guard!"
After Pucha Shi Jianu finished speaking, he had already picked it up.
"That's it! I heard that there are many women in the city of Nafuzhou, especially what Yuexiu and Yanxiu, all of them are delicate and lovely. If you go into the city, you will slaughter all the men in the city, and leave the beauties behind, and have a good time!"
The Jurchen generals cheered, laughed wildly and made noise, and Yan Lou laughed without saying a word, but Dong Cai in the seat was in a cold sweat.
To capture Fuzhou City, his subordinate Han'er doesn't know how many more casualties he will have.
