Chapter 453: Battle (3)
Another violent cough interrupted Lou Chamber's continued speech, Wan Yan Zonghan was busy beating him, this time Lou Mur did not stop it, and when he stopped coughing, Wan Yan Zongbi said viciously: "This king leads an army to cover, this time you must fight to the death with Song Jiang!" β
Wanyan Lou Room hurriedly said when he heard this: "The fourth prince can't!" You are all the pillars of the country, and the prosperity of the country in the future needs you to punch and kick. I am a man of the wood, and it is my blessing that I can die for the country before I die. Now the danger is changing instantly, the chasing army is coming in an instant, there is no time to wait for me, and no matter how much time is wasted, the whole army will be trapped. I have made up my mind, I will lead the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend to the death, and you will lead the elite to break through and return home! β
"Old generals can't β’β’β’β’β’β’"
"For the sake of the handsome, for the sake of the overall situation, how can indecision become a big thing? The chasing soldiers are coming, but you are grinding here, do you want to cut off all the Dajin warriors here before you leave? Rest on rampage and retreat immediately! β
Wan Yan Lou interrupted Yan Zonghan's words sharply, scolded Yan Zonghan like an elder, and then took out a letter and said: "Go back and give this letter to Your Majesty, just say that this is the last word that the old minister left to Dajin!" β
Wanyan Zonghan took the letter with tears, and then bowed deeply with Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Sali, and turned his head to leave.
Wan Yan Lou Mu raised his head and muttered: "Dajin can no longer withstand the flames of war, and he must revise the national policy and recuperate with Song Qiu. The advice that the second prince exchanged for his life ignored it, and now he is burned, and it is too late to regret it! Ay! I hope that my old life can wake up the court and your majesty! β
Wanyan Lou's room is like the old pine beside him, although it is full of dead branches, it still stubbornly stands tall in the mountains, revealing only a little bit of tender green.
There is a huge boulder on the slope more than 20 steps away from the foot of the mountain, and there is an old pine next to the boulder, and this position is just in the middle of the soldiers.
Wan Yan Lou's face was satisfied, this defensive layout was the most perfect in the haste. As long as the enemy attacked, the stones in the sky were the end of their lives, and even the heavy cavalry could not stand the boulders falling from the sky.
At the foot of the hill were lined with archers, who dug several wide trenches and many pits within range of the archers, which could hold back the enemy's cavalry. When they filled in the trenches, thousands of arrows were fired, the stones were dancing wildly, and the inexhaustible stones on the mountain could completely smash out of the mountain bags in front of the trenches, and the cavalry could not advance, so that the infantry could attack, so that the enemy's attack slowed down, and their task of covering the retreat of the large army could be completed brilliantly.
And this place is the only shortcut to a quick catch-up, and if you want to go around it, even the fastest war horse will have to walk an extra day. In one day, the Golden Cavalry had already gone far.
Wan Yan Lou Room couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy in his heart, these people left to him were dead soldiers, and when the enemy army broke through the defense, tens of thousands of soldiers would turn into a piece of soil in the mountains, and stay in a foreign land forever. However, as long as the large army successfully broke through and planted hope for Dajin, they died as they deserved.
Wan Yan Lou Room sighed helplessly, and then stared at the other side. The enemy has been coming for some time, and they have been standing still, and I don't know what the hell is going on. He didn't bother to guess the tactics of the enemy army, as long as they didn't move, and it was lucky for him to be able to delay a little longer now.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded behind him, and Wan Yan Lou turned his head to see that three solid bullets had hit the hillside.
A cannonball pierced through the abdomen of a soldier and was deeply embedded in the hillside, and the soldier was torn in half by the shell, his intestines were flowing all over the ground, and his upper body, which was not dead, trembled in terror.
Another shell smashed the rocks to pieces, and in an instant the rubble poured like a waterfall, and several golden soldiers were injured.
Another cannonball smashed a trebuchet and couldn't hold its foot, and flew directly to the head of a golden soldier who was lying down, and his brains were still rolling slightly on the hillside with white flowers.
Wan Yan Lou knew that this was just a test firing, and more shells would fall on the hillside immediately afterward. He screamed and lay down, and before he could finish speaking, the cannonballs in the sky fell on the hillside, and in an instant the hillside was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust, like a curtain to obscure it, and it was no longer possible to see the scene on the hillside, only to hear the heart-rending wail and the harsh sound of heavy objects crashing.
In less than a meal, the sound of the artillery stopped, and when the smoke of gunfire had subsided, the hillside was littered with corpses, and most of the trebuchets that had relied on to stop the enemy had been smashed to pieces. The solid bullets fired by these heavy cannons were so destructive that many boulders turned into fragments, and the golden soldiers buried in the pile of rubble crawled out, looking at the broken corpses around them and howling in horror.
The golden soldiers had not yet recovered from their panic, and the archers in front of the foot of the mountain were rumbling with cannons. This time it was a flowering shell fired by a light gun, and the shell exploded in the air, shrapnel shot in all directions, and the broken iron nails, broken iron blades, iron sand, and small iron pellets wrapped in the shell fell rapidly in a radial shape.
Although this kind of artillery shell cannot directly kill the Jin soldiers, the radiation area is large, and the Jin soldiers are relatively dense, and the wounded soldiers are when they penetrate into the body. In an instant, the archers were full of wounded soldiers, who were still able to move, but many of them had lost their combat effectiveness. Fun read
The sound of the cannon stopped, and seeing the golden soldiers full of endless fear, Wanyan Lou Room was like a traveler walking to the endless Gobi, and the whole person was in despair, these sharp firearms were not something that flesh and blood could resist. I had heard that the firearms in the autonomous region were powerful, but today I experienced it myself, and I was shocked and deeply remorseful, because the team with such weapons was not something they could regret. The decision of the imperial court is to bring about its own destruction, and to invade the autonomous region is to dig its own grave.
At this moment, when a horse flew about three hundred paces away from the archers, Le Ma shouted: "Listen to the Jin soldiers on the other side, the autonomous region treats the prisoners preferentially, as long as you lay down your swords and guns, we will not mistreat them." The cannon sound just now is a wake-up call for you, if you resist stubbornly, you can only die! β
"Surrender!? I'd rather die! β
Wan Yan Lou looked up and smiled bitterly.
He swept the Khitan, captured Emperor Tianzuo alive, he chased the Central Plains, trapped the father and son of Qinzong, he quickly resisted the enemy, defeated the Western Xia armyβ’β’β’β’β’β’ he is a famous Jurchen general, how can he bend his knees to surrender to the enemy.
Wan Yan Lou slowly raised his hand, and his hoarse voice was firm and powerful: "Archer, shoot!" β
The rain of arrows weakly intervened on the ground far away from the cavalry to surrender and trembled, and the cavalry knew that this was Wanyan Lou's answer, and it was also the choice of all the Jin people, they wanted to fight to the death. The cavalry turned and rode back.
"Stubborn! Delusional mantis arms resist the pursuit of my army! Give the order to go down, shell for half an hour, and then pursue Jin Ko with all your might! Song Jiang's deep voice sounded: "The debts owed to my people should also be completely settled!" β
The artillery fire enveloped the whole world, and also buried the last performance of Yan Lou's room.
"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!"
Song Jiang's words made Wu Yong and Wen Huanzhang, who were also in Taiyuan City, comfort Tao Tao with their eyes in the distance, and finally could do an earth-shattering event, and they could think of the meaning of Song Jiang's words with their toes, and they wanted to take advantage of the situation to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
In fact, this is also in their expectations, this time they gathered heavy troops, easily defeated Jin Kou, and Wanyan Zonghan only led tens of thousands of deserters to return to China. Moreover, the Western Xia soldiers had been defeated, and Jing Renxiao only led thousands of remnants to flee. Liu Zhengyan made the puppet Korea a chicken, and the war was raging everywhere, and the Bazi Army took advantage of the situation to seize several of its cities.
It can be said that now is the best opportunity to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the only shortcoming is that the puppet Han has not been destroyed, so that the autonomous region has no worries at all. But this is not a cause for concern, the autonomous region has also deployed heavy troops along the Yellow River, with Lu Junyi as the commander and Xu Guanzhong as the assistant, and now is the time for the poisonous sores to squeeze out the pus.
Not surprisingly, under an order, Liu Yu restrained his hands.
Wu Yongdao: "Commander Song's ambition is to be completed in a moment, and the wish of the Han people for more than a hundred years will finally be realized in the hands of the commander, which is really gratifying." However, Wu believes that Jin has become a poor man, and he should not be careless, and he will lose all the games if he is not careful, and the defeat of Taizong Sorghum River in the past is a lesson from the past. β
Song Jiang said: "The reason for the defeat of the Gaoliang River is that in addition to the Song army's hard fighting for several months before arriving in Youzhou, which cost a lot and reduced combat effectiveness, the biggest reason should be Zhao Guangyi's ineffective command. After pacifying the Northern Han Dynasty, he got carried away, ignorant of his confidant, but could not know the other, the whole army was affected by it, arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and defeat was inevitable. At this time and at that time, now the Jin soldiers are at the end of the strong crossbow, and the powerful Khitan soldiers are not the same, and our army is superior to the Song army in all aspects, and our army will win this battle. However, Wu Junshi reminded me that our army should rest for a period of time before recovering Yanyun, and then regain the lost territory in one fell swoop when the grain and grass are fully prepared and the army is fully assembled! β
Wen Huanzhang heard that Song Jiang called Taizong by his name, and his heart was very calm, this world needs to change its master. The Zhao clan defeated the country and put the people in fire and water, and the autonomous region saved the people from fire and water, so that the people could live a prosperous life. Therefore, Song Jiang, who brought the autonomous region into the Taoyuan world, took the throne and did not give in. Perhaps after this war, a new country will emerge, and the trend of the times and the will of the people will be unstoppable.
The three of them said some details that should be paid attention to in the war, and Song Jiang said: "The specific tactics will be discussed by our church, and while we have a rest and leisure, it is time for the two armies to set off." These two armies have made me worry-free, and they have made me twice the result with half the effort. β
Wu Yong and Wen Huanzhang glanced at each other, still puzzled by the army of Song Jiang's words to collect land with half the effort, Wen Huanzhang said: "Let me worry about the future, it must be the army of pseudo-Han led by Lu Yuanwai, but the other army is β’β’β’β’β’β’?" β
"Zhang Jue! Zhang Jue alone is an army. Zhang Jue came out of the horse, and Kyushu was easy to collect after the mountain. Song Jiang smiled and said, "After studying in Liangshanbo for so long, it's time to go out and breathe." β
The two of them were very impressed when they heard this, and they thought that saving Zhang Jue and them was just to collect the heroes, but now they found that it was far beyond their expectations. This kind of foresight is really unprecedented, there is really nothing in this world that Song Jiang can't think of, and there is nothing he can't do.
