Chapter 789: The Beacon Fire and the Golden Flow, the Great River (1)
Eleven years have passed since Jin destroyed Liao and the Jurchens went south for the first time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ In the autumn of the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, the fourth invasion of the Jin Kingdom kicked off, and 300,000 troops marched south from the East Road to the Central Plains. Compared with the fierce resistance of the people spontaneously organized by the Jurchens when they first went south, and the cruelty of the Jurchens slaughtering the city all the way, after nearly ten years of rule and killing by the Pseudo-Qi and Jurchen, in July, the people of the Central Plains organized a revolt north of the Yellow River. It may also mean that the orthodox dominance of the Wu Dynasty in the Central Plains has fallen to a low point.
At the end of July, the organized and planned revolt of the real forces finally began. Compared with the people's self-consciousness and the people's rebellion, which is like a great river and an ocean, the rebellion dominated by the clear will at this time is more like a deliberate assassination, the sharp hedge is fierce and violent, trying to control the enemy in the first place, and pull up momentum and advantage.
On July 24, Wang Shan Yueguang Wu Jun took the great name.
Twenty-sixth, Li Xizhi's 170,000 army, which had already been ready to go, came south, and at the same time, the Jurchen general Wu Da led 10,000 Jurchen troops originally stationed in the Central Plains to rush down to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent the Liangshan Water Army in Wang Shanyue's hands from raiding the East Route Army to the south.
On the twenty-eighth, 11,000 Black Flag troops suddenly gathered, broke through Zengtou City, and after a day's rest, came south to the Daimyo's Mansion.
On the fourth day of the first month of August, the 170,000 troops gathered in the Daimyo's Mansion and prepared to attack the city, and more than 36,000 Guangwu troops in the city together with more than 3,000 nearby mountain rebels who came to increase their strength were ready to wait.
The chain of rebellions unfolded in various places on the north bank of the Yellow River, the most intense, the raid on the Jurchen grain and grass troops outside the city of Zhending, the raid on Qi Yan's mansion inside the city of Zhending, the frequency of arson and assassination incidents broke out suddenly, and a large number of leaflets suddenly appeared in Hejian, Gaotang and other places - although many people in the city were illiterate, it was enough to shrink the whole atmosphere and situation to the most urgent degree. The successive outbreaks of events were like the drums of a rapid war, spreading the whole situation.
It was not only the Jurchens who went south who could know the whole situation, but also Li Xizhi, who had been operating in this place for many years, and who was under the Daimyo's mansion at this moment, may be the first to collect every line of news. The army's preparations for war were already pressed to the extreme, and they were ready to attack the Daimyo's mansion, but the fierce momentum of the black flag had to make him turn back. The staff in the army kept deliberating, some nervous and some suspicious.
"Black Flag, this is going to be a decisive battle with our army!"
"It must be a suspicious tactic! Even if it is a black flag, it will not be so reckless! β
"General Wuda is still nearby, the black flag of Liangshan is only a partial division, not the main force, once it is dragged down, it can only kill itself!"
"Suspicious!"
ββ¦β¦ Don't forget Xiaocanghe! β
"Don't forget the striker of the Fourth Prince Zongbi!"
The quarrel between the staff was annoying, and Li Xizhi could only put on a domineering and calm posture, on the one hand, he slowly besieged the city, and on the other hand, mobilized 13,000 garrisons between the Daimyo's Mansion and Gaotang, and at the same time ordered his general Feng Qize to lead 30,000 people to lay a defensive line on the way to the Kalin River Pass and wait for the battle. On the sixth day of the first month of August, at the pass of Linhe'ao, Feng Qize saw the approaching black flag troops, at this time, above the Linhe'ao checkpoint, iron cannons, bows and arrows, and various defenses have been prepared, and the pass is crowded with 43,000 people.
"There's going to be a war! Isn't it clear to him! Guan Sheng's shout came up to the city wall, with a brutality that looked at all directions, "Surrender quickly!" Otherwise, you'll die! β
"Our city is strong, four times as strong! The rats were dizzy and came to die, just to add to my merits! β
"I'm afraid you haven't been to Xiaocang River four times!"
"Haha, who ran away with his tail between his legs in the end!" Feng Qize's argument was unhindered, and he did not show weakness, Guan Sheng laughed under the city, and finally closed the knife with a flick: "Then go and die!" Monkeys! With that, he rode back.
Feng Qize thought that the other party would say a few more words, and he was fortunate to impress the other party in terms of momentum, but he didn't expect the other party to leave, so he had to calm down. At this time, it was not yet afternoon, and he himself sat down on the city wall, and ordered all the soldiers and military law corps to stand by and not let up, waiting for the attack of the black flag. In the years of guarding against the Black Flag, the biggest impression of the people in the North of the Black Flag is the pervasive infiltration ability of Xiaocanghe after retreating, for these things, Li Xizhi's army has also been purged several times, and Feng Qize has also strengthened the supervision between the soldiers on the city wall. As for the strength of the Black Flag Army outside of infiltration, it can only be solved with all the spirit and hard work.
On the opposite position, the war drums of the black flag never stopped. This is a simple strategy to exhaust the troops, Feng Qize was unmoved, and in the afternoon, he reacted and said to the deputy general: "I expect that the intention of the black flag is not to pull out the Lin River Pass, nor is it to attack Li Shuai's Chinese army." The black flag is headed by the demons in the heart, and it is full of cunning, so it will not attack the city, and it may have other purposes. β
The adjutant general said: "The general is wise, so how should we deal with it?" β
"You don't have to deal with it." Feng Qize shook his head, "Now the Daimyo Mansion is Li Shuai's responsibility, if the Black Flag bypasses the Lin River Pass to rescue the Daimyo, I will wait for the 40,000 troops to dispatch and attack back and forth, even the Black Flag will not dare to take such a risk." If their purpose is not in the Daimyo Mansion, let them mess around for a few days, and when Allah arrives, this small black flag will not escape. β
Having said that, until night fell, the defenses on the city walls did not relax in the slightest. When darkness fell, fires lit on both sides, and the drumming on the opposite side continued until late that night, at two o'clock, when the drums stopped.
The firelight pushed forward, and a horse came out first, wearing armor and holding a dark red spear, and raised a hand in front of the formation.
Both ends of the opponent were drowned in suffocation, and the silence lasted for a moment.
"Brothers of the Black Flag, the Jurchen is here!"
The voice rang out.
"Eleven years ago, when the Jurchens came south for the first time, Zhu Biao followed Mr. Ning and defeated the Jurchen attack head-on under the city of Bianliang and held Bianliang! The Jurchens crushed Bianliang's million-strong army, but did not crush us! β
"In the past 11 years, from Bianliang to Xiaocanghe, to Liangshan and now. I have seen the Jurchens crush countless armies, I have seen them slaughter countless Han Chinese, kill our parents and occupy our land! A lot of people fell to their knees - the people on the other side knelt! We didn't kneel down! β
"This morning, the people above said to us loudly, hehe, they are four times as many as us, haha, there are strong city cannons, hehehehahaha-"
In the darkness, countless laughter rang out and spread.
"A group of kneeling people, what is it? Let the ghosts under Bianliang City tell them! The Jurchens defeated a million people under the city of Bianliang, how many soldiers were used! Let the corpses of Xiaocanghe be full of mountains and valleys tell them that without the intervention of the Jurchens, a million people are nothing! And the Jurchens did not defeat us, in the northwest, we killed their military god Wanyan Lou Room, and on the city of Yanzhou, we personally cut off the heads of the people who did not lose their words! β
"This is where adults fight, and this is where you live and die! I told them, but they wouldn't listen! Brothers, these soft bones have accidentally stood in the way. β
The air had tightened, the silence had fallen, Zhu Biao turned his head and cast his gaze at the city wall, and then, the drum beat loudly.
"All of themβ"
Boom -
"--trampling them to death!!"
The shouts came like a tidal wave, and above the city wall, Feng Qize's eyes widened as he watched this scene.
"Crazy ......"
Then he looked back. Hysteria.
"Defend the cityβ"
In the darkness of the night, the cannon sounded, and in the night it exploded, the rain of arrows fell from above, and countless fires rose from the bottom up, and the ladders came towards the city walls, and the hooks and cables flew under the launch of the giant crossbows. Feng Qize pulled out his long knife, shouted "Defend the city", and whispered as he walked: "Crazy." "Mother's madman." He patrolled the city wall for a moment, and suddenly looked back vigilantly, and the guards who followed him were terrified, but Feng Qize only looked at him twice, and then gritted his teeth and walked forward.
"The herald Lu Ming is optimistic about several key points in the city, if anyone moves, there will be no mercy! The Judge Advocate Corps have lifted my spirits! β
"There must be fraud, there must be fraud, there must be a combination of inside and outside, and it must be a combination of inside and outside......"
ββ¦β¦ Second brother, take someone to Lu Ming and protect him...... Look at him! β
The siege situation was extremely fierce at the first time, and Feng Qize was inspecting while predicting where he had missed the calculation. However, the real pressure is on the front line of defending the city, at this moment, the soldiers in the city feel that it is like the fierce offensive of the Jurchens attacking Bianliang, in the dark night, the forward of the Huaxia army went up frantically along the sling, and the soldiers on the city wall experienced half a day of fear, drum harassment, and the high pressure and suspicion of the military law team, and did not have time to change the defense for the second time, the siege lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and on the south side of the city defense, three Black Flag Army pioneers landed in the city.
The vanguard who had experienced the bloody battle of Xiaocang River swung his shield and slashed towards the soldiers defending the city, and in the night, the killing god who ascended the city was covered in flesh and blood, and in a moment, two more people came up from the cloud ladder in the rear. Feng Qize led the soldiers to come to the rescue here, but before he approached, the city wall in front had been blocked by the soldiers, and the rockets under the city were still rising, Feng Qize shouted: "Push up, kill them!" β
Someone shouted again: "Don't retreat!" There is no forgiveness for those who retreatβ"
The situation at this end is slightly resistant, on the other end, Zhu Biao and Guan Sheng stepped on the city wall, as the leader of the black flag at this time, the landing of the burning city gun is particularly obvious, countless arrows flew over, Zhu Biao held a gun in one hand, and held a big shield in the other, pushing forward violently, Guan Sheng rushed out of the gap, waving a long knife, and the blood was filled, and soon, the vanguard in the rear also followed.
The boiling slaughter spread along both ends of the city wall at the point of the breach, and then pressed towards the middle. Feng Qize was hysterical, constantly waving his sword to supervise the battle, but the soldiers under the city wall were so killed that they could not come up again, and in the occasional roar of cannons, after a while, the city wall of Lin He'ao changed hands, and the ferocious killing was still advancing.
In the thirteenth year of Wu Jinghan, that is, eleven years ago, the Jurchens went south, Li Xizhi's troops did not come out, and when they went south for the second time, they took refuge in the Jurchens.
On the seventh day of the eighth month, the Lin Heao checkpoint was missed, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion.
The madman of the Black Flag is deadly killed.
