Chapter 254: Sneak Attack on Qingluan Town

Since the Jin State rebelled against the Liao State, it can be said that it has been fighting for years and years, and the consumption is huge, and the treasury has long been empty, and now there are five million in the account, how can it not let Wanyan Wu beg to buy it? He sent an envoy to extract the golden wolf head token, for fear that Wanyan Zongwang would find a reason to delay.

Wanyan Zongwang still had luck, just when he couldn't find a reason to delay, Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, led a large army to kill, the distance between the two armies was no more than twenty miles, and it was only a matter of time before the war started.

Only by going to war can there be enough reason not to send the five million back, but now it is obvious that the Song army does not have the slightest intention of going to war, which forces Yan Zongwang to go to war, and he must start a war as soon as possible.

Wanyan Zongwang sent Wanyan Qige to lead 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 Song troops who surrendered, in the words of the Jin people, called the signing army, to Shuangmu River, he didn't care whether this battle could be fought or not, he only needed to start a war, of course, if he fought, then he must win. In any case, this is the first time he has fought with Liu Zhenglong, and he can't lose to the other party if he says anything.

Wanyan Zongwang has always been a very arrogant person, he thinks he is invincible in the world, and he never thinks that Liu Zhenglong is an invincible jade-faced god of war, he firmly believes that this Han King of the Song Kingdom is not as powerful as the legend at all, but the Song State needs it for propaganda. In fact, this kind of boasting is the favorite thing of the Han people, as long as Liu Zhenglong is defeated this time, then it is only a matter of time before the Song State is destroyed.

Temptation, to put it bluntly, this battle, Wanyan Zongwang is only in the nature of temptation, just to delay and escort the five million to the north to find an excuse. Wanyan Zongwang looked down on Liu Zhenglong out of contempt, so he regarded this battle as not so important. Otherwise, he would not have sent Brother Yan Qi to lead his troops to attack.

Brother Wanyan Qi is the first warrior of Dajin, and it can be said that he is the champion of the three armies and has excellent combat power. All along, Brother Wanyan Qi has also won repeatedly, but that's not because this guy has any military talent, the most important thing is that he hasn't encountered a strong opponent, in other words, every battle is planned by Wanyan Zongwang, as long as Brother Wanyan Qige's command does not deviate, he can basically win. Moreover, when the Liao State was destroyed, the Liao State was already decaying, and this time when the Song State was invaded, the Song army fled in despair, and it could not reflect the military talent of Brother Yan Qi at all.

Regarding the issue of Brother Wanyan Qi's expedition, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Zongwang had a big quarrel, and Wanyan Wushu felt that this battle was very important, and he should lead the army to attack, rather than send Brother Wanyan Qi, a guy who lacks flexibility and is arrogant.

Regardless of the final outcome of the dispute, in the end, it was Brother Wanyan Qi who led the team to the expedition.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, in the county hall of Zhongmu County, in the temporary headquarters of the Han army, Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, presided over the first all-army combat meeting.

"See King Han."

After the generals saluted, they lined up on both sides, and everyone knew that the first battle of the defense of Tokyo had officially begun, and they all wanted to make contributions one by one.

Liu Zhenglong said: "Wu Yong, you are a military advisor, now that Gongsun Sheng and Zhu Wu are not here, you can simply do a military analysis." ”

Wu Yong's Zhiduoxing was the first to be allegiance, but he appeared under the command of the King of Han in the form of a captive, so now he is low-key and terrifying, and almost no one knows that this is a resourceful strategist, as if he is just an ordinary scribe.

Liu Zhenglong just wants to give Wu a chance, he knows that this Zhiduoxing strategy is not good, far from being able to catch up with Sun Sheng, the military coordination, and the arrangement of troops can't catch up with Zhu Wu, the god machine military division, but there are conspiracies and tricks, and there are still some clever ones, and he is scheming, good at calculation, and he is also a sharp sword if he uses it well, and now he deliberately creates opportunities for this Zhiduoxing.

After hearing the command of the king of Han, Wu Yong said: "Now our army has a total of 170,000 horses, including 80,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry. Among the 80,000 cavalry, there were 20,000 Longwei troops led by General Huarong and 60,000 dragon troops led by General Heberon. The Long Wei Army is still a five-arm coordinated operation, and the Dragon War Army is a large cavalry corps in the simple sense. The 90,000 infantry were the Long Hui Army commanded by Wang Yin, the Long Yan Army led by Li Zhu, and the Long Xiang Army led by Lu Junyi. Now the Jin army claims to be 300,000, but in fact, the real Jurchens composed of only 80,000 cavalry of the Jin State, in addition to 60,000 cavalry of the vassal army, 60,000 infantry of the vassal army, and 100,000 Song troops who surrendered to the past, these Song troops were called the signing army. This time it was 10,000 Jurchen cavalry led by Brother Wanyan Qi, plus 30,000 signed troops. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yong glanced at King Han, and after receiving affirmation, he continued: "Brother Wanyan Qi is known as the first warrior of the Jin Army, and it can be said that he is the champion of the three armies, and he is good at organizing cavalry annihilation battles, and his talents have been fully demonstrated in the battle of Liao. As for the siege battle, it is not visible, because the Song army in the land of Hebei is fleeing from the wind, and those who surrender in Kaesong abound, and the Jin army has almost no need to attack the city. There are very few cities attacked by the real Jin army, and when they attacked Liao, they really conquered several big cities, but when they attacked our Great Song Dynasty, Zhending Mansion did not conquer it, it was our strategic abandonment, Zhongshan Mansion and Hejian Mansion have not been conquered until today. Taiyuan Mansion is now fighting fiercely, and there is no war in the capital. What we are going to do now is the battle of Qingluanchuan, and how to fight it depends on the lord's expectations for this battle. ”

Wu Yong obviously had an idea, but he didn't want to say it, after all, a battle like this still needs to be approved by the lord, and this kind of noisy thing, this Zhi Duoxing will definitely not do it.

Liu Zhenglong said: "No matter what the imperial court's attitude towards King Qin's rescue is, King Gu asks that the cavalry of the Ten Thousand Jin Kingdom be stared at Qingluanchuan, if Wanyan Zongwang has the courage to survive with a broken arm, then the Han army will destroy this Jin State cavalry." If Wanyan Zongwang comes to the rescue, then a decisive battle will be launched in Qingluanchuan. Whether it is the Han army sweeping the world, or the Jin army is invincible, just see the real chapter on the battlefield, what is the slogan of our Han army, generals? ”

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win." The generals shouted in unison, one by one, waiting for the lord to give an order to go to the battlefield.

This battle is destined to be the moment when Wu Yong becomes famous, this guy has been following Song Jiang for too long, and it is time to show his true strength.

Wu Yong's absolute trust in King Han was very moved in his heart. He said: "Qingluan River is backed by the Shuangmu River, and if it is defeated, there is no way to escape, after all, there are big rivers separated by it, and it is difficult to cross the river." Therefore, in this battle, as long as our Han army retreats, then the Jin army will definitely spare no effort to pursue it. Of course, if you fight with the Shuangmu River as your back, then you need to rely on the assistance of the Sea Dragon Army. ”

"No, the Jin army only has 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, even if our army retreats, Brother Wanyan may not have the courage to pursue it, if they stagnate, then it will not be a superfluous move to set up a formation in Qingluanchuan. Of course, Wu Qingjia said very well, the army sniped the Jin army in the Shuangmu River, and the Jin army could be wiped out, but it was not the first battle, but when the army of Wanyan Zongwang was dispatched and the final battle was held. The navy army must be going to participate in the war, and the order was given, and Li Jun led the navy to help. The first battle must be fought in Qingluanchuan, and as for how to fight, it depends on the plan of the military division. ”

Liu Zhenglong, the king of the Han Dynasty, did not deliberately deny Wu Yong, but felt that Wu Yong's plan was a bit upside down, and now it is unknown whether Wanyan Zongwang will come over, in this case, it is obviously inappropriate to plan the final battle, and the top priority is to trap Brother Wanyan Qi, which is the essence of the first battle.

At this time, Wu Yong realized that he was just a military advisor, just a planner of military operations, and as for whether to implement it, it was still the king of Han who was in charge. Now is not the time to be under Song Jiang, at that time, the plan formulated by himself will be 100% passed, not like now, so the plan is just a reference, in fact, as long as there is a little flaw, it will be vetoed.

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and then said: "The topography of Qingluan River is three mountains and two valleys, and the three mountains in the east-west direction are Mao Mountain, Mao'er Ridge, and Python Mountain, the three mountains are not very high, but they are very steep, and the cavalry is 100% unable to climb up, even the infantry are very difficult to climb. And if the Jin army wants to attack us, it will not be able to bypass Qingluanchuan no matter what. The two valleys are the Flying Bird Valley and the Wild Wolf Valley, which are two very long mountain roads, with a large area in the middle, which are suitable for cavalry combat, but the road is full of stones, and the speed of the cavalry will be suppressed, so it is suitable for infantry to deploy against cavalry. Among them, there are small roads crisscrossing the Bird Valley, and the troops are better dispersed, and they can be fortified step by step, so that the Jin army will pay huge casualties every time it moves forward. And the Wild Wolf Valley has a large open space in the middle, which is suitable for setting up a formation and waiting for the Jin army to sprint.

It is not ruled out that the Jin army will not enter Qingluanchuan, after all, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Jin army's attack this time may be just a situation, and they will stagnate in Qingluan Town, so our first step is to lay out in Qingluan Town, lead the Jin army to Qingluanchuan step by step to defeat it, and then force the Jin army to retreat to Qingluan Town, so that we can lure Yan Zongwang to come to the rescue. ”

This time, King Han didn't speak, just nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with this plan, but didn't think it was perfect, after all, there was another situation, that is, the Jin army was not fooled at all and stagnated in Qingluan Town.

Wu Yong is the best at grasping the psychology of others, he quickly realized what King Han meant, so he continued: "My plan is like this, the first step is to send troops to take out all the people of Qingluan Town, and all the grain is taken away, leaving traces in the direction of Qingluan River." The second step is to send two thousand flame army to attack Qingluan Town, and the whole Jin country wants to know about our firearms, so this time the Jin army will definitely pursue the flame army. In this sneak attack, the Flame Army must fully reveal its advantages and infinitely magnify its shortcomings. Only in this way can we attract the Jin army to enter Qingluanchuan step by step, from Qingluan Town to Qingluanchuan is less than ten miles away, and the cavalry is basically almost there in a sprint, and that Wanyan Qige will definitely not give up this opportunity to capture the Flame Army. In the third step, we set up heavy troops in Qingluanchuan, of course, only to strangle the Jin army, not to annihilate it completely, forcing it to retreat to Qingluan Town, the fourth step, to achieve encirclement in Qingluan Town, and the fifth step is to annihilate the reinforcements of the Jin army. ”

This time, Liu Zhenglong agreed to Wu Yong's plan, and he said: "General Gao, this time you lead the cavalry to carry out a sneak attack, and at the same time, you will meet the first warrior of the Jin country, Brother Wanyan Qi, to learn to fight bulls, not to kill him, to make Brother Wanyan Qi feel that the two of you are opponents, but you are slightly inferior, only more cunning, to arouse his desire to hunt you." Let Yang Zaixing cooperate with you to attack, you two are two guns under the command of the lonely king, don't be rash. If Brother Yan Qi did not lead the army into Qingluan River after speaking, even if you killed him, King Gu would also deal with you by military law. ”

"The last will be ordered." This is the first time for Gao Zhong to represent the King of Han, and the young man is very excited. And although Yang Zaixing began to charge when he was in Western Xia, he never had the opportunity to be alone, and this time was no exception, but being able to fight side by side with Gao Zhong still made him excited.

Liu Zhenglong continued: "It is said that the two guns of the Great Song Dynasty, one is a highly favored silver dragon drilling gun, with outstanding marksmanship, elusive, like a dragon swimming in the sea, changing, fast as lightning, so that the enemy is unable to guard against it; One is Yang Zaixing's iron soul breaking gun, the marksmanship is extremely domineering, like the rebirth of an overlord, powerful and heavy, domineering, and has the courage to sweep thousands of armies and be unstoppable. The two of you are the pride of the lone king, but in this battle, don't lose because you are too obsessed with killing the enemy head-on, you must know that excellent generals command battles, not charge into battle. ”

"The last general will remember the teachings of the Lord and will definitely complete the task."

The reason why it is emphasized not to kill the enemy head-on is that he is afraid of high favor, and Yang Zaixing will lose himself if he kills the red eye. Liu Zhenglong has high expectations for these two young players who are less than 20 years old, this is an imperial double wall, and there is no room for failure.

Liu Zhenglong picked up the second military order and said: "Pang Wanchun, you lead your 10,000 horses to set up an ambush in the Wild Wolf Valley, don't entangle with the Jin army, cover it with dense crossbow arrows, and kill the Jin army back." ”

"The last will be ordered." Pang Wanchun, nicknamed Xiao Yang Youji, is the first divine arrow under Fang La, the archery is like a god, and Xiao Li Guanghuarong is known as the imperial double divine arrow. These two people are both twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they are more promising than He Guan, who is the first arrow in the Great Song Dynasty and is nearly fifty years old.

"Zhang Qing, you lead 10,000 horses and set up an ambush in the Flying Bird Valley. Don't fight hard with the Jin army, but be flexible, so that the Jin army feels that there is an ambush in the mountains and does not dare to stay for a long time. ”

"The last will obey." Zhang Qing has been following Song Jiang, and finally defected to the King of Han with Wu Yong, and there was no chance to make a contribution, this was the first time to go on an expedition, so the King of Han still gave a few more instructions, and he was even more moved by the enthusiasm.

Liu Zhenglong picked up the third military order and said: "Hua Rong led 10,000 cavalry to ambush on the left side to prevent the Jin army from breaking through from the west, and also to prevent the Jin army from running around, Xu Ning led 10,000 cavalry to ambush in the east. It is necessary to ensure that the Jin army finally enters Qingluan Town, and does not flee outside. ”

After Hua Rong and Xu Ning went down, Liu Zhenglong picked up the fourth military order and said: "Heberon led 20,000 cavalry to set up an ambush in the north of Qingluan Town, and at the same time blocked the reinforcements of the Jin State, and Lu Junyi led 30,000 infantry to set up an ambush in Qingluan Town. Wang Yin and Li Zhu followed the king to set up a large array of rear troops at the Shuangmu River to meet the final decisive battle. Regardless of whether the Jin army will have reinforcements or not, we must eat Yan Qige's army, and we must not let it go back. ”

The generals went down to prepare for the coming war.

Yang Zhi led 3,000 soldiers into Qingluan Town to help the people transfer, and at the same time set up an ambush in the town, destroying all the water sources, and also bought a lot of gunpowder and oil very covertly, and when the war broke out, he sent scouts to ignite and detonate it, turning Qingluan Town into a sea of fire.

Qingluan Town, a town with thousands of residents, was busy, but the common people had long known about the arrival of the war, in fact, most of the people had already moved away, and the remaining people were evacuated in an orderly manner with the help of the Han army.

On the 14th day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, the 40,000 troops led by Wanyan Qige entered Qingluan Town, this town is different from many towns in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not open here, but like a small city, there are city walls, walled walls, but there is no moat, and the wall is not very high, and there is no place to place trebuchets on the city wall.

A strange thing happened in the town of Qingluan, where the Jin army found a lot of gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, silk cloth, but could not find food. Of course, those gold and silver treasures were hidden in slightly hidden places, and the Jin army took great pains to find them.

The lust for money is charming. Every time there is a robbery, the contradictions between the Jin army and the signing army will erupt, and there will even be small-scale conflicts. The gold, silver and jewelry found by the signing army are often snatched away by the Jin army very rudely, and the resentment between the two sides is very deep. Often the signing army dares to be angry and dare not speak, but this time there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in Qingluan Town, and many people in the signing army can't bear it anymore and begin to hide gold and silver jewelry privately, so there have been many skirmishes with the Jin army, and there have been dozens of casualties, but they were quickly suppressed, and there is no doubt that it was the signing army that was suppressed.

Dissatisfaction spread among the signing troops, and it intensified, but the arrogant Brother Wanyan didn't notice it. However, the generals who signed the army were very clear, and even they knew that some people with ulterior motives were fanning the flames in the middle of this conflict, and some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make things happen.

On the opposite side is the army of the King of Han, which makes many generals who signed the army begin to have ideas, they would rather follow the King of Han in the bloody battlefield than fight side by side with the Jin army.

The three captains in the signing army, Zhang Junjie, Liu Lanjie, and Su Yunchun began to have ideas, they were originally the generals of the Song army, and they didn't have any skills, and they could also be said to be timid and afraid, but the surrender of the three was not all because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but under the attack of the powerful Jin cavalry, they couldn't resist at all, and in order to preserve their strength, they chose to surrender one after another.

If there was no King of Han in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Junjie and others would have accepted their fate and followed the Jin army to fight in the south and the north. But the King of Han led the army to come, in Zhang Junjie's view, the final winner must be the invincible King of Han, not the Jin army, in this case, he began to contact Liu Lanjie, Su Yunchun, hoping that the two of them can fight back on the battlefield like himself.

It's not that Zhang Junjie's consciousness is high, the key is that there is a problem here, that is, his younger brother Zhang Junwu is a member of the Dragon Soul Society, but the army is defeated, and surrendering to the Jin Army in the case of a rout is the best choice. But now the situation is different, on the opposite side is the powerful Han army, which is the army of the king of Han. Zhang Junwu had a showdown with his brother, telling his brother that the only way out was to defect to the King of Han, and he could only be cannon fodder if he followed the Jin army to fight.

Zhang Junjie, who was persuaded, privately contacted Liu Lanjie and Su Yunchun about Keith, and the three of them discussed it, turned back at the right time, and defected to the King of Han, not seeking to be reused, as long as there was a way to live.

Just when Zhang Junjie, Liu Lanjie, and Su Yunchun were plotting against the water, Qingluan Town was attacked, and the dense gunshots shook everyone's hearts.

The Flame Army finally killed the Jin Army when it was time for the Jin Army to eat, and these families were all double-matched, each with two guns, one was a assault rifle and the other was a three-eyed fire gun.

Impact, the Flame Army rode a war horse and rushed over quickly, shooting while riding forward. You must know that when it comes to close impact, the lethality of the assault rifle and the three-eyed firearm is far stronger than that of the bow and arrow. It is easier to operate than a bow and arrow, with a longer killing distance and greater lethality.

Wanyan Qige was very annoyed by the sneak attack of the Song army, he ordered to organize a counterattack, this guy still has a certain military command talent, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, he likes to charge into battle, as if he rushes to the front, and he can accumulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers by killing the enemy bravely, and he can win a big victory.

The high favor of the white horse and silver spear rushed over like a bolt of lightning, and the silver dragon drilling spear flew up and down, and almost every shot would result in the life of a golden army. It's like a flock of sheep, and it can't be stopped.

Yang Zaixing's battle is either to cover up and escort Gao Chong, to ensure that Gao Chong can be killed logically, to attract the attention of Brother Wan Yan Qi, and to trigger a decisive battle between the two.

Yang Zaixing is like a heavy tank, rampaging in the Jin army, the iron soul breaker gun in his hand is full of domineering, whether it is a stab, or a sweep, the lethality is very great, constantly clearing obstacles for Gao Pet, solving worries for Gao Pet, so that Gao Pet can unscrupulously impact the Jin Army.

The high favor of the white horse and silver spear is like the god of war descending to earth, in the Jin army, it is like entering a no-man's land, and the Jin army cannot stop it at all. The Jin Guo Iron Cavalry couldn't stop it, and the signing army retreated even more.

Soon Gao Pet entered the field of vision of Brother Wanyan Qi, the first warrior of the Golden Country, his favorite is not gold, nor beauty, but to tear and kill with masters. Enjoying that kind of master slayer is probably the only hobby left.

The young general of the white horse and silver spear in front of him has excellent combat power and is unstoppable, in this case, after Yan Qige's fighting spirit came up, this guy waved the mountain opening giant axe in his hand and rushed over, and the soldiers could only follow and chase over. After all, the military law of the Jin State stipulates that if the main general dies in battle, all the personal soldiers will be executed, and these personal soldiers will also swear to protect Yan Qige for their own fate, this is the unique system of the Jin State, and it is precisely because of this system that the Jin army is extremely powerful.
