In the northwest in the late autumn and early winter of Wu Jianshuo's second year, the chaotic situation was like a powder magazine bursting open, scattering huge flames on this barren and dangerous land, even the continuous rain did not extinguish it in the slightest. It exploded to its peak in a short period of time, and the aftermath seemed to be even more powerful at the time.

The first confrontation between the Huaxia Army and the Jurchen Western Route Army was on the night of August 25, and after the end of this first wave of confrontation, propaganda about the anti-Jin affair had been carried out on a large scale under the operation of the members of Zhuji and with the cooperation of the clan forces.

With Yeonju and Gyeongju as the center, and the nearby states of Ning, Fang, Yuan, Huan, Lin, Fu, and Feng, as well as the security army and Qingjian City, the storytellers and Bao inquired about the Zhuji and began to pass on the news after that, inciting the atmosphere of resistance to Jin. With the retreat of the Jurchens and the collapse of Yan Zhenguo's army, the situation in the northwest has begun to move on a large scale in the next two or three days.

In addition, in Yanzhou, Gyeongju and other places, the villagers spontaneously formed by the people under the propaganda began to gather, and some cottages and local snakes in the northwest and other places also began to have their own actions under the persuasion of Zhuji -- in the previous process of transporting goods on a large scale in Xiaocanghe, these mountain bandit forces entrenched in one place actually benefited a lot, and they also had a certain connection with the members of Zhuji.

In the northeast of Gyeongju at the junction with the security army, the mountain called Na Feng Mountain is actually a small part of it.

Several armies in the direction of Jingzhou and Pingliangfu moved. On the other side, Yan Zhenguo, who had no way back, after gathering the rout and regaining his senses, killed again in the direction of Gyeongju, and he also had two Wu Dynasty troops that had surrendered due to the majesty of the Jurchens, one with 20,000 men and the other with 30,000 men. Kill from the southeast to the northwest.

No matter what kind of intentions they have, the regular army, local forces, the township bravery, the volunteer troops, and the bandit strongmen have formed a huge vortex of war and chaos on the land of the northwest, and all kinds of friction and hedging have frequently appeared in the surrounding areas of the main battlefield.

And the real core of the battle. It is still the Western Route Army of Lou Room and the Huaxia Army of Xiaocanghe. Two troops, each with more than 20,000 men, confronted each other on the edge of the loess high slope, but the fierceness of the battle on the edge was so fierce that no one could keep up with it for a while.

In order to maintain the momentum and attack the weak, the Huaxia army pressed Wanyan Lou's army in front in the first time, and Wanyan Lou's army frequently harassed and tore the Huaxia army's line with its cavalry superiority, trying to make it difficult to retreat. However, after the combat power of the small group of Black Flag Army was launched, the temptations of the two sides on the edge of the battlefield frequently turned into hedges.

Even a small group of Black Flag Army, with many veterans as the backbone, faced the combat power displayed by the Jurchens. It's too resolute.

And the Jurchens, especially the Jurchen elite under the command of Wanyan Lou, are never afraid of war. They are also rampant in the world's strong soldiers, after the destruction of Liao, and twice swept the Wu Dynasty like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and now in such a corner of the northwest by the other party frequently provoked, they usually encounter weak opponents although not ashamed of retreat, at this time gnaw hard bones. But it is often inevitable that the blood will surge.

After all, when necessary, the courage to rush into battle without hesitation. It is also the reason why the Jurchens were able to sweep the world.

In the first few days, there was a constant mix of canine tears and killings, and since it was not a large-scale regimental scuffle, neither side had ever made these encounters a formal battle, but the willpower of each side was at its peak. In order to avoid the Black Flag Army's artillery and battle superiority, Wanyan Lou almost gave a death order to the cavalry under his command. Under no circumstances are you allowed to charge, just harass, divert, harass, transfer...... Of course, this rigid order was not given, but if it continued to fight like this, I am afraid that the kite-flying tactics commonly used by the Mongols in later generations would first become proficient in the hands of Lou Mu.

And the main force of the Black Flag Army is just pushing unrelentingly with the ability of an iron bucket-like formation. In a sense, Lou Room is constantly adapting to the style of play of this elite army with artillery. Qin Shaoqian's side is also trying his best to understand the strength of the army under him, as Ning Yi said in Xiaocanghe, before using Qi, you have to use the positive side well.

Even though they are accompanying the growth of this army every day, Qin Shaoqian and others have not yet figured out where their potential and limits can go for this group of troops tempered by new training methods.

Looking at the confrontation that broke out suddenly in the northwest after a long time, the two armies that showed themselves at the beginning were already the pinnacle of the army of this era, and the strength and tenacity displayed by both sides in two or three days were not inferior to any army in the same period, and the intensity of the battle was astonishing. It's just that at the moment of the fighting, the two sides are just falling along with the situation and have not taken this into account.

By the evening of August 29, when the autumn rain had fallen, several teams of the Black Flag Army, realizing that the heavy rain would wipe out the advantage of firearms, simply chose to lure the enemy. And a Jurchen team of about 1,000 people, under the leadership of the general A Xibao, also seized the opportunity to brazenly launch a momentum, and the melee between the two sides lasted for more than ten miles, and some people on both sides were separated from the brigade in the battle.

Same night, more is happening. It was a force that was very important in the Northwest. A few days after receiving the order to send troops from Yan Lou's room, the Zhi family, who had always had an ambiguous attitude in this place, made a move.

Under the order of the compromise, the large-scale arrest of Zhuji members who incited anti-Jin in the city began, in Linzhou, Fuzhou, Fengzhou, Qingjian and other places.

At the same time, Zhe Keqiu mobilized 40,000 elites of the Zhe family, personally commanded the troops, and took Zhi Yanzhi as his deputy to kill in the direction of the Gyeongju battlefield, showing the attitude of supporting Yan Lou's room.

Not many people can clearly grasp the idea of folding at this time, but if you look back and forward, his choice was not without clues before.

When the Jurchens went south for the first time, the family army supported the capital, and the Zhejia army had also sent troops, and the choice of Zhe Keqiu at that time was to cooperate with Liu Guangshi to rescue Taiyuan, and in this battle, the two were defeated by Wanyan Zonghan near Tianmen Pass. After this defeat, Bianliang broke the siege, Qin Siyuan and others wrote a letter requesting to send troops to Taiyuan, and Zhe Keqiu also handed over the same fold. After that. The Zhejia army once sent troops to rescue Taiyuan twice, but after all, they were defeated because they couldn't defeat the Jurchens.

Later, Taiyuan fell, Ning Yi rebelled, the Jurchens attacked Bianliang for the second time, and the family army still sent troops. The Zhe family still only paid attention to the war in Fuzhou and other places and the front line in Taiyuan, and fought extremely conservatively. Next, the Tangut invaded the south, and the Zhejia army, which was supposed to guard the northwest, saw that the farming family was destroyed, so they only held their own one-third of an acre of land and did not send troops.

This time Lou Room was killed, and the Zhuang family refused to surrender, and the Zhe family verbally agreed, but they were unwilling to send troops to attack the northwest for Lou Room. However. No one expected that the Zhijia army, who was reluctant to dispatch when the Lou Room was going well, chose to stand on the side of the Jurchens when the Lou Room army encountered problems.

August 30, autumn rains. If the addition of the Zhejia Army means that there is no middle ground in the entire northwest, the hedging and fighting in the center of the Gyeongju battlefield is even more tragic. Then the rain continued, and the infantry was assembled in the Wanyan Lou room. A massive counterattack was launched towards the advancing Black Flag Army.

Gyeongju Hwangyangling. The edge of the high slope of loess, the terrain is complex. In these mountains, hills, and river valleys, the main armies of both sides fought in several places. Wanyan Lou's use of troops is huge, and the soldiers under his command are indeed the elite of the battlefield, and the Black Flag Army chose a conservative formation battle at the first time, but in fact, at the four points of the battle. On the battlefield of the four regiments, which was obscured by the woodland on the side of the mountain range, Wanyan Lou personally led the soldiers to launch repeated attacks and killings.

After the battle lasted for more than an hour, the formation of the four regiments was torn apart in several places. The Jurchen charge spread, and Sun Ye, the head of the fourth regiment, resisted with his personal guards. Barely managed to hold the situation for a moment, but was finally killed and retreated. It wasn't until the special regiment in the vicinity fully supported that some of the soldiers who were caught in a dead situation were saved.

In a sense, whether it was Qin Shaoqian, who commanded the army at this time, or the generals who commanded the regiments, they were not mediocre talents, and among the people of the Wu Dynasty, they could be regarded as top-notch leaders. However, the situation faced by the Wu Dynasty army in the past many years was originally very different from the situation in front of them, when they faced the strongest of the Jurchen generals who started from scratch and experienced countless battles, after a few days of advancement, they finally lost a son in the use of the art of war.

The tenacity of the soldiers themselves did not make the situation too bad, and at the remaining points, the Jurchen army that tried to feint was dragged into a fierce battle, causing a large number of casualties. But in the same way, more than half of the Fourth Regiment of the Black Flag Army was killed or wounded, and Sun Ye, the general who rushed to the front, was seriously injured and was rescued from death.

The Jurchen army retreated, and the Black Flag army continued to advance. Sun Ye and a group of wounded people were temporarily left near Huangyangling, and the later strikers of the Breeder Army took over the rescue. That night, in the grass shed near Huangyangling, Sun Ye finally woke up. He was a native of Yingchuan, Xuzhou, forty-seven years old, good at scheming, when he woke up, two guards were guarding beside him, Sun Ye asked them about the situation ahead, knowing that the Jurchen's combat power losses were not necessarily smaller than those of the Black Flag Army, so he nodded and blinked.

He seemed to be searching for his thoughts in a state of extreme weakness, and it took a long time before he spoke softly.

He said: "We often discussed whether it was right to rebel for the murder of the king...... But with soldiers like you, I think, maybe it's right, Mr. Ning, he ......."

Sun Ye looked ahead, blinked again, but there was no focus in his gaze, and he calmed down for a moment: "I am stupid in using soldiers, and it is not a pity to die...... Pity...... So fast......"

At this point, his voice weakened, and the last thing he said was, "...... I can't see the future, so you can see it for me. ”

The wind whimpered, and the cries of two soldiers who had experienced many fierce battles were heard.

Long song should cry. That night, news of Sun Ye's death reached the front line where the black flag spread, and for days afterward, the surviving soldiers of the four regiments would wrap white strips of cloth around their arms as they charged.

More intense, all-encompassing confrontations and battles took place every day after that, and both sides were almost gritting their teeth to test the limits of their wills, and this was almost the first time that Wanyan Lou had encountered such a situation in this southern expedition - and even in his life - he participated in several battles, and it was said that he was in an extremely happy mood. At the same time, the battle on the periphery had exploded like a volcano, and the two western armies fought for the first time on the second day of the ninth month.

This is the troubled times that have befallen us. It's just that in the northwest, hundreds of thousands of people from all sides who were caught in the whirlpool, plus the chaotic fighting of civilians and even hundreds of thousands of civilians who were unfortunately in it, seemed to have just begun...... (To be continued.) )

PS: It's the end of the month, and I'm out to grab tickets again! That's right, I'm so arrogant, I can't look down on the double monthly pass at the beginning of the month! Let's make it to the top 10 of the monthly pass for five days at the end of the month! I just looked at it, and we're only seven and a half thousand votes away, no problem!!

Well, you can buy a monthly pass, how can it be so important...... After 25 days of stuck, the chapter 710 in my small dark room has 7,000 words on the scrapped manuscript alone, and it is a scrapped idea and beginning, the ideas are smooth, I don't have to be depressed to death by myself, this is the important thing. I'm ^_^ so happy

Ah, after posting, I'll run and exercise my body, good night everyone. Just say hello and I'm alive.
