Chapter 950: Ten Years of Hardship, Wind, Snow and Frost (1)

In the eleventh year of Wu Jianshuo, on December 19, the battle of Yushuixi, which was of turning significance to the entire Jin country in the eyes of later generations, ended before the end of this day.

And the continuous state of fighting will certainly not stop there.

The Battle of Yushuixi was essentially the result of Qu Zhengyan's first frontal attack on the battlefield under the premise that the quality of the Huaxia Army's troops had surpassed that of the Jin soldiers, taking advantage of the psychological blind spot of the Jin people who had not yet fully accepted this cognition. The Huaxia army of more than 14,000 defeated nearly 50,000 Jin, Liao, Xi, Bohai, puppet and other allied forces head-on, and expanded the results of the battle while the other side had not yet reacted.

The core element that underpinned this battle was the fact that the Huaxia Army had been able to defeat the elite of Allah head-on. Under this core element, many details of planning and the use of intrigue in this battle have become trivial.

Among them, the bloody attack of Victory Gorge is good, or the killing of Eagle Beak Rock is good...... can only be regarded as an episode of icing on the cake. From the perspective of the overall situation, as long as it has become a reality that the quality of the Huaxia army surpasses that of the Jurchens, then this result will inevitably be revealed on a certain battlefield on a certain day, or with the accumulation of many achievements. And what Qu Zhengyan and others chose was to turn over the biggest hole card at this active point, and by the way, cut down the rain stream.

The war lasted for two months, and at this time the Jurchens could no longer retreat, so at this point in time, it was announced to everyone: The confidence of the Huaxia army to defend the southwest did not lie in the Jurchens' labor expedition, nor in the geographical convenience of the southwest defense, and there was no need to take advantage of the internal problems of the Jurchens to drag down the opponent's expedition for a long time.

The confidence of the Huaxia Army to fight against the Jurchens lies in the fact that even if you fight head-on, you are not my opponent.

“…… If I think about it this way, if I were sticky, I would have a headache now......"

In the early morning of December 20, while a large group of people in the Zizhou Command were waiting for news from Yushuixi, on the front-line battlefield, Qu Zhengyan and Yu Zhongdao, two division commanders, were also wrapped in quilts in the front-line huts and roasted on fire, waiting for the arrival of dawn. On this night, the mountains outside were still a mess.

The battle in the day brought a resolute victory that no one could question. More than 30,000 people were either beheaded or captured in the nearby mountains, and the number of those killed in battle was mainly Jurchen, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Liaodong.

In this battle of the Jin soldiers, in order to avoid the impact of the Han puppet army's unfavorable battle, the number of Han troops mobilized by Zong Han into Jianmen Pass did not exceed 200,000. The attacking army of Yushuixi was close to 50,000, of which the number of puppet troops was about 20,000, and the backbone of the battlefield was still composed of Jin, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Liaodong people.

Considering that it has been nearly twenty years since the establishment of the Jin State, and it is a smooth sailing golden period, the sense of belonging of each main ethnic group is quite strong, the Xi people and the Bohai people were originally friendly with the Jurchens, even the Khitans who were once wiped out, in the later time, there were also a number of old ministers who were reused, and the Han people in Liaodong did not treat the southerners as the same race.

Twenty years have passed, most of the Jurchens have a good belonging, and the rest of the ethnic groups have a more vigorous self-motivation - this is like if you don't have a good father, then you have to suffer a little more - this southern expedition is regarded as the last chance for meritorious service, and the armies of several ethnic groups other than the Jurchens will even show a stronger desire for meritorious service and the will to fight than the Jurchens in many cases.

The Jurchen army of 50,000 people—except for the Han puppet army, which had already surrendered—many of them had not even been mentally prepared to be defeated on the battlefield or surrender on a large scale, which led to many people still fighting to the death after being at a disadvantage, increasing the casualties of the Huaxia army during the attack.

By the time this day had completely passed, the outer camp of the Jinbing soldiers in Yushuixi had been destroyed, and the inner camp had gathered more than 5,000 people with the Jurchens as the core, relying on dense artillery fire to launch a stubborn resistance, and thousands of deserters were scattered in the mountains outside. At this time, considering the difficulty of completely annihilating the other party, Qu Zhengyan kept his sanity and retreated.

In fact, although the road between Yushuixi and Huangtouyan had not yet been repaired at this time, two generals of the same rank as the Jurchens, Yu Yu and Da Lai, had already led hundreds of people across the mountains to Yushuixi at this time.

With 14,000 people, they attacked the 50,000 army on the opposite side, and captured more than 20,000 people on this day. At three o'clock in the morning, that is, after the ugly hour, Da Cheng led more than 600 men to make a difficult detour of the camp at Yushuixi, in an attempt to sneak up the camp of the Huaxia army, which he expected to make the exhausted Huaxia army bomb the camp, or at least the more than 20,000 prisoners who had not yet been completely escorted to the rear to mutiny.

What he didn't expect was that the monitoring network arranged by Qu Zhengyan on the front line was still maintaining its work. In order to prevent the Jurchens from counterattacking on this night, Qu Zhengyan and Yu Zhongdao stayed up all night, and even continued to urge small-scale inspection teams to carry out strict supervision on the front line by name in person.

The scouts who were on the lookout in the dark spotted the sneaky arrival of the Dalai troops, and the situation was quickly fed back, and the regimental commander in charge nearby quietly mobilized a few artillery pieces, and took advantage of the other party's entry to launch a round of artillery bombardment.

It was difficult to determine the damage caused by the shelling at night, but the huge commotion caused by it finally caused the group to abandon their plans for a sneak attack and scare them back into the barracks.

This is a small episode that happened in the early hours of the twentieth day. By the dawn of the day, the support troops from Zizhou had already entered Yushuixi one after another, and what remained at this time was to clean up the rout in the mountains and further expand the follow-up action of the victory, and the basic plate of the victory in the entire battle of Yushuixi was finally completely stabilized.

In the following days, the wounded soldiers and prisoners were successively transferred to the rear, and the mountain road from Yushuixi to Zizhou was crowded with people coming and going every day. The wounded soldiers and prisoners were transferred to the direction of Zizhou, and the propaganda team, the logistics supply team, and the recruit units that had undergone a certain amount of training were replenished to the front line one after another. At this time, the year has arrived, some pigs and chickens were killed in the rear and transported to the front to reward the army, and the art group also came up, and the results and significance of the battle of Yushuixi have been rendered by the propaganda department of the Huaxia Army at this time. The news spread to the rear and to all parts of the army, and the entire South-West was agitated by the outcome of this battle.

In Huangming County, the attack of Bali Su had been temporarily stopped, and in the mountains from the Sword Pavilion to the front line, the Jurchen troops led by Zong Han fell into a real cold winter.

In the last journey of their lives, these Jurchen heroes who have been spanning their lives have fallen into an embarrassing situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger and they are in a dilemma.

Of course they will make a decision.

The Huaxia Army is also waiting for their decision to fall.

On the afternoon of December 26, after initial treatment, Mao Yishan was recalled to the rear as a heroic representative. At this time, the casualty statistics and follow-up arrangements in the regiment had been completed, and he returned with two deputies with red flowers on their chests and several staff members of the propaganda department.

There is no hard standard for the date of return, there are quite a lot of soldiers on the way back, Mao Yishan hung a red flower and felt embarrassed, and he was embarrassed to take it out of the Yushui Creek Pass. When passing through the general camp of wounded soldiers, he managed to let several people from the Propaganda Department go first, and he took his deputy to see his seriously wounded companions, and in the evening he met Hou Wu and Hou Yuanhao and his son in the nearby prisoner camp.

When he was arranged to leave the front line temporarily, the division commander Yu Zhongdao took a bottle of wine and sent him away, and Mao Yishan took it out and gave it to Hou Wu and Hou Yuanhao to drink that evening. Hou Wu was in charge of the work of the prisoner camp, waved his hand and refused, so Hou Yuanhao accompanied him to drink the bottle of wine. After the wine and dinner, Mao Yishan happily visited the prisoner camp and went directly to the captured Jurchen elite soldiers.

At this time, a rough dinner was also being used in the camp, and when Mao Yishan passed, a large number of prisoners were guarding against the wind after eating, and ropes were encircled on the boxy earthen lawn, so that the prisoners could walk around. Mao Yishan walked up to the wooden platform next to him: "These guys...... Do you know Chinese? ”

"There are some ...... Understand a few words. ”

"Oh, fifth brother, you call someone to come and translate for me." Mao Yishan was in high spirits, with his hands on his hips, "Hey! Jurchen grandchildren! Look at me! Kill your boss goose, it's Lao Tzu—"

Hou Wu couldn't cry or laugh: "Yishan, you haven't drunk much......"

"What is invincible, bastard!" Mao Yishan smiled and tugged at Hou Wu's sleeve, "Fifth brother, you help me translate." ”

The Jurchen captives in the audience looked over one after another, and a few people understood Mao Yishan's words, and their faces became unkind, Hou Wu's face was cold, and he waved his hand around, and the soldiers around him set up their bows and crossbows.

"What! Not convinced! There is a kind of coming up, and I go head-to-head with Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu's name is Mao Yishan, which is older than you...... It's called a rotten name in the goose, it's much better! ”

Hou Wu stared at the movement in the crowd, Hou Yuanhao on the side covered his face and was already secretly laughing, Mao Yishan was more introverted in his early years, and later became a family and became an officer, and his temperament was known for his generosity, and it was rare to be so public. He shouted a few times, thinking that the captives couldn't understand, and asked the deputy for a big red flower to wear on his chest, and danced with his hands: "Lao Tzu! Click! Goose inside! ”

"Hahaha! You're not happy......"

After being so presumptuous for a while, Hou Wucai pulled Mao Yishan away, and when a few people returned to the fire in the room, Mao Yishan's mood was lowered, and he said about the battle of Eagle's Beak Rock: "After the fight, the people around me died three hundred and thirty-two." Although it is said that the crockpot does not break from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, but ...... This time, I had to send a letter to their family when I went back. ”

After more than ten years of fighting, the people around me have died round after round, but no matter how many times they have experienced, such things are always like words carved in the heart by a soft knife. It was a long, heart-wrenching pain, and it couldn't even be vented in any hysterical way, Mao Yishan threw the firewood into the fire, his expression was restrained, and only some moist red came out of his eyes.

Hou Wu patted him on the shoulder. On the side, Hou Yuanhao laughed: "Uncle Mao, don't talk about that." Let's just say that you killed Lili, who guess can't sit still the most after hearing it? ”

Mao Yishan and Hou Wu looked at the young man, looked at each other again, and laughed in unison......

This was supposed to be half a chapter, but at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I found out that there were 3,000 words, so I just sent it......
