Chapter 209: Yellow Dragon Ambushes
Since the enemy army is engaged in an ambush, then the whole army has to be dispatched in unison, or it is better to take care of each other. Those who walk in the front need to probe the snow with their spears from time to time in case they encounter another trap. Although the speed has slowed down, safety is the most important thing.
When I arrived at the area where Qu Tuye was ambushed yesterday, more than a dozen traps were found out.
"Be vigilant, the enemy may still come to sneak attack!" Qu Ping said.
It is also not impossible for a person to fall twice in the same place.
Sure enough, Jin Bing tasted the sweetness here and wanted to take another bite.
Suddenly, the golden soldiers dressed in white clothes and white robes suddenly attacked from both sides, stepping on the ground and splashing snowflakes.
Song Bubu was a battalion, not flustered, and when the Jin soldiers came, the Song soldiers separated to both sides, giving up the eighteen cannons in the middle, each divided into nine to aim at the Jin soldiers who rushed over.
Wang Zhiquan said "release", and after the rumbling artillery, a large piece of Jin Bing fell, and even the men and horses fell in the thick snow, and the splattered blood immediately stained the snow red.
The cannon was reloaded with bombs, and the crossbows of the Song army were not idle, and they suddenly harvested the heads of the people who came forward. The cannon was filled as soon as possible, and there was another roar of volleys of artillery, so that the Jin soldiers were unable to get close at all.
The Jin army held each other for a while, and when they saw that they couldn't get a bargain, they withdrew in disgrace.
The Song army was not in a hurry to pursue, and bombarded a few cannons, blowing up the tail of the Jin army, and then maintained the formation step by step and continued to march towards Huanglong.
The Jin army wanted to eat tofu but bit the stone and broke his teeth, and did not dare to harass the Song army again, so he hid back in Huanglong City, preparing to defend the city.
The snow was still falling unhurriedly.
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
The snow was full of bows and knives, and the Jurchens had nowhere to escape.
To avoid snow slippery, the horses' hooves are wrapped in cotton cloth.
The Song army followed the footsteps of the retreating Jin soldiers in front of them, and arrived outside the Yellow Dragon City two days later without any danger.
The suspension bridge over the moat of Huanglong City has been closed, and it is not known whether the frozen river can withstand the galloping of horses. The city wall was watered from top to bottom by the Jin soldiers, making the ice thicker, and the siege ladder of the Song army was estimated to slip off the city wall.
Qu Ping ordered the eighteen cannons to be lined up 300 meters away from the city gate, and the ammunition was loaded, and then they were ordered to fire.
The Jin soldiers on the city wall saw the Song army approaching, and used trebuchets to continuously launch flying stones, but the farthest only landed 200 meters away.
Song Jun shouted a round of slogans as usual:
"The golden soldiers in the city listened, and immediately opened the city and surrendered! Jin Guoqi has been exhausted, and those who know the times are Junjie, otherwise when the city is broken, death and injury will be inevitable! ”
Jin Bing grabbed dozens of royal relatives of the Great Song Dynasty from the city and lined up in the city, shouting: "Fire a cannon, kill one!" ”
Jin Bing deliberately did not block the mouths of the imperial relatives, making them beg for mercy and shouting heartbreakingly.
None of the royal relatives wanted to die, seeing that the rescuers were coming, but they were going to die immediately, how could they accept it, so they all screamed hysterically on the city wall for help.
The generals of the Jin army in the city also found a problem at this time, the moat was frozen, and the cavalry of the Song army could easily step across the ice, and the moat completely lost its meaning of existence.
As a result, the Jin army used trebuchets or manpower to throw stones on the ice of the moat, smashing the ice, and striving to prevent the Song cavalry from stepping on it as much as possible.
Qu Ping saw that the enemy army began to smash the ice on the surface of the river, and said: "Time is running out, I can't control so much." Shenji Battalion, open fire! ”
The sub-zero temperature increased the brittleness of the iron gate and reduced its stiffness, and after two rounds of artillery bombardment, the iron door was shattered.
As soon as the city gate was broken, the cavalry of the Song army rushed into the city, and the artillery fire outside turned to the city wall, bombarding fiercely, and covering the cavalry.
After the Jin army opened fire in the Great Song Dynasty, it really decisively executed the dozens of Great Song Dynasty princes.
Qu Ping looked at it with red eyes outside the city, and said with hatred in his heart, when the city is broken, you will feel good!
Firearms are a major historical revolution in the history of human warfare. Under the powerful artillery fire of the Great Song Dynasty, there were basically no cities and armies that could resist.
Qu Tuye led the cavalry to rush into the urn city, abandoned his horse and killed the city tower, first seized the high ground of the city wall, and then gradually attacked the inner city.
The Song army had grenades to open the way, and there was no need to fight with the Jin soldiers at close range, which greatly destroyed the enemy and reduced their own casualties.
Liu Guangshi sighed: "With cannons and grenades, no matter how powerful the crossbow is, it will be eclipsed. ”
Qu Ping Chengzhu said in his chest: "When our handcuffs are developed, the crossbow will abdicate and make way for Xian!" ”
The generals couldn't imagine what the handcuffs in Qu Ping's mouth looked like, but they were certainly powerful. Thinking like this, everyone laughed proudly.
"Hahaha, the world is our Great Song!" Liu Guangshi laughed wildly.
There is no suspense in this war.
An hour and a half later, the front reported: "Marshal Qiqi, the enemy army has been defeated and surrendered, please enter the city!" ”
Qu Ping laughed and said: "Although it has taken a little longer, it is still within the expectation of this handsome!" Let's go, let's go into town! ”
Liu Guangshi secretly thought that he had occupied Huanglong City in an hour and a half, which was already the limit of history, what did it mean that the time was a little longer, and it was clearly a quick battle record.
There are still more than 40,000 of the 60,000 golden soldiers in Huanglong City, all of whom are arrayed in the open space in the city, dejected, and panicked, waiting to fall. Reading the book
The Song army has a high combat power and has far outperformed the Jin army.
In that year, the Jin army rode south, and in less than a year, they besieged Bianliang in Song Jing and captured the second emperor.
Now the Song army is faster, not only quickly broke through the pass of the Great Wall of Wanfu Mo, and then then Pingchuan, first destroyed Yanqing, Xijing, and then occupied Dading, Beijing, Linhuang has been lost, and now the last line of defense outside Beijing - Huanglong Mansion has also been lost, it can be foreseen without hesitation that when the city of Shangjing will be broken, it is just around the corner.
Qu Ping rode a tall horse ahead of the Jin soldiers, and said without anger: "The Jin soldiers who killed the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, please take a step forward!" ”
The golden soldiers looked at each other, the battle was so chaotic, maybe those people had died on the battlefield.
"The general's idea, please take the initiative to take a step forward." Qu Ping said,
The generals of the Jin Army who were in a row in front of them bowed their heads and did not speak, and none of them volunteered to confess their guilt.
Qu Ping waved to the back, and the eighteen cannons slowly pushed over, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the 40,000 Jin army.
The unarmed Jin army was surrounded by more than 70,000 Song legions, and when they saw the artillery aimed at them, they trembled with fright, and they were so timid that they even peed their pants.
Qu Ping said: "No one admits it, that's good, it means that you want to confess your sins together and suffer the consequences together!" Artillery preparation, grenade preparation, repeater preparation, knife and gun preparation! ”
The artillery was already aimed at the crowd, and the first to bear the brunt was the general of the Jin Army in front. The grenades and crossbows of the Song soldiers were also aimed at the Jin soldiers, and as long as Qu Ping gave an order, they would not hesitate to slaughter the Jin soldiers.
Under the pressure, Jin Jun trembled, and finally couldn't resist it.
Several generals frantically pointed out several other high-ranking generals, saying that they were all their ideas.
There are also people urging and blaming those Jin soldiers who came up with this idea and carried out the task, asking them to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, not to delay the 40,000 innocent lives, as long as they have the courage to admit their mistakes, everyone will give them more paper money on this day every year.
Driven by moral condemnation and the primitive goodness of human nature, Jin Bingjin, who should have paid for this matter, hesitated and stood up in fear.
"Pull it out, cut it!" Qu Ping waved his hand without hesitation and ordered.
After the execution of the first evil, Qu Ping continued to say to Jin Jun: "Don't be afraid, there is a debtor who is wronged, those people just now died innocently, they are just compensating for the lives of the Great Song Emperor who was killed by them, and the Song army will never kill innocents indiscriminately!" From the moment you are conquered, you are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you must be the same as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will serve the Great Song Dynasty loyally! Otherwise, they will all be regarded as traitors, and they will be dead! ”
Jin Bing is fighting in two forces, how can he not be afraid?
When the Song army entered the city, it went out to settle the people, reorganized the soldiers and horses, and organized and surrendered troops.
For the civil and military officials and royal relatives of the Jin State in the city, what should be caught, what should be killed, and what can be used.
Huanglongcheng has imprisoned thousands of royal relatives of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they are the royal relatives of the Jin State and high-ranking civil and military officials, few of them have clean hands.
Therefore, when the Great Song Emperor in the city was rescued, they identified all the Jin people who had killed them and sent them down to Huangquan. As the saying goes, no one's blood and tears are shed in vain.
Huining Mansion was two or three days away from Huanglong Mansion, and when Yan Sheng heard that Huanglong Mansion had been captured within a day, his face turned pale with fright and trembled.
Wan Yansheng hurriedly convened hundreds of officials to discuss countermeasures.
Wanyan Zongfu was quietly rescued from the city by Wang Qi on the night after Dading was flooded, but contracted typhoid fever and only recently recovered.
Wan Yan Sheng has lost his former majesty, his back is also a little bent, and the pressure of the crisis of destroying the country is always pressing him, and he is almost out of breath.
He asked with a slight pleading: "The Song army is close at hand, and the army will come to the city soon." Ladies and gentlemen, what are the best ways to save the country? ”
There is only one corner left in the country, and what is there to talk about saving the country, it would be good to be able to save your life.
"Saint, Jing Kangnian of the Song Dynasty has suffered great humiliation, if the Song army attacks in, from the king to the subjects, they will become the object of the Song army's anger, I'm afraid they won't survive!"
"Holy Lord, if we surrender easily, what kind of face do we have to go down to meet the first emperor? The minister proposes to fight to the death! ”
"You can die, holy thousand gold body, will you die with you?"
"What do you say? Don't drag yourself out for your greed! ”
Wanyan Zongfu roared: "What are you arguing about! Shut up! ”
At this time, the emperor has lost his temper, and Yan Zongfu can suppress the civil and military officials below.
Wanyan Zongfu said bluntly: "Those who recommend surrender stand on the right, and those who suggest fighting to the death stand on the left!" Seeing that everyone didn't dare to move, Wanyan Sosuke added, "Don't worry, I won't kill your head, just look at everyone's wishes, and the emperor can make a decision." ”
When there is the first person to eat crabs, everyone's hesitation becomes resolute. The officials stood in the left and right queues again, and it was clear at a glance that the one on the right would pay more than the one on the left. After all, behind Huining, there is no way back, and there is a dead end.
"Holy?" Wanyan Zongfu saw the result and woke up Wanyan Sheng in a trance.
Wan Yansheng smiled bitterly and looked at the hundred officials on the left and right columns, with mixed feelings in his heart, in the past, he was sure that as soon as Chrysostom was opened, he ordered all those surrendering factions to be beheaded. But now that he is at the end of the road, he has some thoughts of giving up in his heart, if he were not the emperor, I am afraid that he would stand in the same line as those officials who suggested surrender.
"Sosuke, what about you?" Wan Yansheng asked.
Wanyan Zongfu was cunning and cunning, and said: "The minister will always stand with the saint." ”
Wan Yansheng couldn't get the answer he wanted, and said weakly: "Retreat." Continue to strengthen precautions, and the Aiqing will also go home to reunite with their families. Retreat. ”
The officials withdrew from the main hall in a huff, and they didn't know whether the saint meant to fight or surrender.
Everyone waited outside the hall for Wanyan Zongfu to come out, and surrounded Wanyan Zongfu and asked, "Prime Minister ......?"
Wanyan Zongfu took care of his own path, and said expressionlessly: "Do your own thing!" ”
