Chapter 272 Anzhi Blood Sea Bad Fence
Irabuha looked at the human head on the tray, and his heart was happy, and he felt that the blocks that had been stuffed in his chest for all these days were poured out.
This envoy of Meng Yuan was very rebellious, and Irabuha wanted to kill him more than once or twice, but because of the relationship between the two countries, he was slow to make up his mind, and he still figured it out: Jin Guo was worried about the breakdown of relations between the two countries, and so did Meng Yuan. Although Meng Yuan's strength was strong and he once made the Jin Kingdom embarrassed, but now it is different from then, and the strength of Meng Yuan and the Jin Kingdom is not as disparity as it was at the beginning.
The most important thing is that if he can break through Qinglong Fort and then capture Xuzhou, Mo said that he just killed a Mengyuan envoy, that is, killed the princes and nobles of Mengyuan, and no one will blame him. If he can't break through Qinglong Fort and open the road to Xuzhou, even if he doesn't kill this Mengyuan envoy, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom will not give him a good result.
There is no need for the Son of Heaven to blame, his own family will die in front of the army.
"Bring this Menghu envoy's first deed to the people, and tell them that if they don't fight to defeat the enemy, they and their families will be like this!" After laughing, Irabuha commanded faintly.
When the first feat of Menghu was reported to the army, the crowd could not help but talk about it, because there was no identification mark, so the people who were coerced did not know who it was who was beheaded. When it was passed in front of Duan Qu, Duan Qu only felt that the beard of this head was very strange, and sure enough, he heard the "eldest brother" whisper: "This first achievement is Menghu, where did Irabuha find a Menghu to kill the scary?" ”
This "big brother" surname Du, a single name is a zunzi, Duan Qu has remembered his name, this person was originally silent and silent when he was in the township, although he likes to make friends, but he is not very obvious, a few years ago he stole the side wall to Xuzhou, and only came back this summer, it is said that he made a lot of money, and even thought of sending his family to Song Jing. What Duan Qu admired the most was that after several years, his vision and insight were obviously far beyond those of his peers, at least he knew how to dodge the terrible artillery of the Song army.
"When I came from the rear, I saw a troop of cavalry guarding the camp, and I heard Menghu when the cavalry spoke." Duan Qu whispered.
"There's Menghu?" Du Zun's face changed greatly: "Oops! ”
Duan Qu looked at Du Zun inexplicably, and Du Zun said in a low voice: "Your family and children must have fallen into the hands of Menghu." ”
His own family and children were all sent to the Song Kingdom, so Duan Qu thought about it for a while, and finally understood, and his expression changed greatly: "You mean...... You mean......"
"Besides, what other tent is Menghu protecting?" Du Zun gritted his teeth and said.
It is no wonder that he was so angry and handed over the people of his country to other countries for enslavement, which is unthinkable in today's Great Song Dynasty. In the "Great Song Dynasty Weekly", Zang Wei historical figures specifically mentioned several Tang emperors after the Anshi Rebellion, in order to deal with the rebels and feudal towns to bring back the Tibetan tribes to enter the customs, and the article signed "Zhao Yi" called it "the loss of power and humiliation of the country". Du Zun's experience in the Great Song Dynasty made him hear about this article and very much agree with what was said in the article.
"What should I do, Brother Du, what should I do?" Hearing that the old mother might fall into the hands of Menghu, Duan Qu's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out, they were very familiar with Menghu's brutality over the years, and the fate of the old mother is now conceivable. The pain of losing his brother has not yet subsided, and the generation of motherless people has risen again, how not to make him frightened!
"Hugh has to show his feet, bear with me, I have to find a chance to save your mother!" Seeing that he was about to lose control, Du Zun grabbed him, and then said in a low voice: "In the baggage of the rear army, the Jin soldiers don't know what to carry. If we can set a fire, we can take advantage of the chaos and escape. ”
"If we escape, what if they kill our family?" Duan Qu asked.
"Stupid, where will there be such an opportunity with him, let's find out where the family is trapped by Menghu, and then lead the Song army to attack it......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone coughing, Du Zun immediately closed his mouth and glanced at Duan Qu, although Duan Qu was a little slow to react, but he was not stupid, and when he turned around, he saw a small colonel in the army coming to them proudly, and anyone who didn't like it was kicked and scolded, forcing them to organize their team.
After making a fuss for a while, these coerced people were also tired, and they had just seen a bloody human head, and they had even set up a queue again. After the battle, the drums sounded again, and these people cried for their fathers and mothers, resisting the ladders and other siege equipment to attack again.
"It is foolish to attack a strong city with a weak army."
Qin Dashi's eyes were full of bloodshots, the Jin people attacked all night, and he never closed his eyes all night, although Qinglong Fort was not as tall and strong as Xuzhou, but the city was small and convenient for the defenders to dispatch, his orders could be transmitted from the west city to the east city in a few minutes, and the Song army defending the city obeyed his orders like an arm. Hearing the war drums in the Jin State military camp again, Qin Dashi shook his head, maybe the Jin people fought the idea of repeatedly attacking and dragging down the energy and physical strength of the Song army in the city.
"An Qiong, you come to command, I'll go down to rest for a while, be cautious, don't act rashly, don't go out of the city to invite attacks." Thinking of this, Qin Dashi said.
Luo Anqiong, who had slept well, answered, his cavalry did not come in handy all night, and he was suffocating and panicking, how unhappy was he with this opportunity. Qin Dashi got off the watchtower, and never returned to the house, just lay on the ground in the Tibetan soldier cave under the watchtower, the roar of the artillery outside and the cry of the golden people, he didn't seem to hear it, and after a while, a slight snoring sounded.
Luo Anqiong stared at the enemy excitedly, he is a cavalry general, but it does not mean that he has not learned artillery and defending the city, most of the righteous teenagers are multi-talented, because he has raised horses with Wang Qinian for several years on Tamna Island, so he is more proficient in cavalry. When the Jin people broke into the range of the artillery, he gave the order to open fire, and the response was decent.
This time, the Jin retreated faster than any previous time, and before he even crossed the range of the shelling, he rolled back against the current. Irabuha was very depressed after the battle, but he also knew that the strength and morale of these people had reached the limit, and even if they were driven forward, it would only be such a result. He was hesitating, when suddenly a banner officer flew over, dismounted in front of him and bowed down: "Marshal, the rear army has sent another 30,000 ......."
"Where are the 30,000 people coming from?" Irabuha was taken aback.
"The villain doesn't know, but I just heard about ......" The flag official looked at Irabuha's side, and Irabuha understood, called him aside and asked in a low voice, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Because of the poor supply of the prefectures and counties along the way, the Menghu army broke through four county towns in a row, looted all the women and women, and drove the young and strong to the rear army, so they gained another 30,000 people."
"Damn, shit!" Irabukha paused again and again: "For the generals, they can't protect the territory and the people, but they can only watch the barbarian beasts run rampant in the country, a great shame, a great shame!" ”
The flag officer was a little unimpressed, but he did not dare to say it to Irabuha. Irabuha asked the rear army about the situation, whether the commander of the rear army had any other secret orders, and whether he urged him to step up the siege of the city, and learned that the rear army did not interfere with his military affairs in front of him, but let him do it, so he relaxed slightly.
Menghu acted too arrogantly and arrogantly, and didn't teach them some lessons, but he was afraid that he didn't know how many Jinzhou counties he would have to attack, and the matter of their two armies being united now had nothing to hide. Therefore, Irabu Halo groaned and summoned the first deeds of the envoy of Menghu and handed them to the banner officer: "Give this merit to Menghu, saying only that this man is rebellious and does not obey military law, and that he has been beheaded by me, so that they can send another one who is calm and down-to-earth." If you are still such a madman, don't deceive me and no one! ”
The banner officer's expression changed greatly, and he immediately cried and bowed down with a sad face: "Marshal, the villain has followed the marshal for many years, and he is loyal, but he has not made any contributions, and there is always hard work, and please don't send the villain to do this death!" ”
Irabuha was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that if the flag officer sent the head, he was afraid that Meng Yuan would immediately kill him to vent his anger. He didn't care much about himself, so he summoned a pen and paper to write a letter, and handed it to the flag officer: "You send this achievement to the marshal of the rear army, and the marshal will deal with it, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Only then did the flag officer take the letter and the wooden box containing the head, but when he returned to the rear army, this matter still fell on his head, and he had no choice but to come to the camp of the commander of Meng Yuan in fear.
"Please pay homage to the marshal of your country, the king of your country, and the envoy of the Jin country has been ordered to pay a visit." Facing the Menghu warriors who came to ask questions, the flag officer said in Menghu language, especially emphasizing that he was "on order" and could not help himself, and only hoped that the Menghu commander would detect this.
The commander of Meng Yuan is Polu, under the hands of Tuolei, who can shock the generals of all ethnic groups, except for Tuolei, who is Polu. There was a lesson from Temujin, and along the way, he went deep into the border of the Jin Kingdom, and Tuo Lei wanted to conquer in person, but he was also discouraged, so it was Polu who led the army. When he heard that the Jin people had sent an envoy to meet him, he didn't think about it at first, but he said that he had come to offer food and silk, so he called the flag officer into the camp. When he saw the head of the messenger he had sent and the letter that had been forwarded, he sat for a long time, hardly believing his eyes.
After crossing the Yellow River, he traveled all the way, dividing the 100,000 troops under his command into three routes, and scraping Jinguozhou County along the way was originally a strategy to damage the enemy and enrich himself. He expected that the Jin State valued the alliance with Meng Yuan far more than the life and death of the people in the country, so he deliberately indulged the army, and the results along the way proved his guess, the more they were domineering, the more abundant the military resources and grain and grass offered by the Jin people, and even heard some Jurchen nobles say: As long as the looters are Han Chinese, it is not considered to have harassed the people of Dajin, anyway, if this battle is defeated, the Han people turn over, and they will push these Jurchen nobles who were once high to the ground, "Rather give them to friends than keep them as house slaves."
After hearing these words, Polu felt that the rule of the Jin State in the Central Plains had come to an end, and if he did not regard his own people as his own children, how could he win the hearts of the people if he was so despised! However, the Jurchen striker Ilahab's actions reminded him that there were still some Jurchens who had some insight and courage.
Fortunately, there are few of these people, and the vast majority of the Jurchen nobles that Polu saw were greedy, timid, and short-sighted.
"Go back and report to the marshal of your family, I already know about this." Just as Ilahab figured out, Meng Yuan also attached great importance to the current alliance between the two countries, especially now, almost all of the main essence of Meng Yuan were in the territory of Jin State, and logistics and supply depended on the Jin people, if he completely turned his face, Jin Guo could also turn his head and hug Song Guo's thigh, and if he lost these 100,000 elite tow mines, he would not be pushed down by the rebellion of his subordinates, but also be swallowed up by his ill-intentioned brother. Therefore, Polu's reaction was very calm: "In the army, military discipline is the most, I will not pursue it at this time, I will send a calm and generous envoy." ”
The official of the Jin National Banner, who originally thought that he would take off a layer of skin even if he got his life, was overjoyed, and was about to retire in a hurry, but Polu called him again: "How is the battle in Qinglong Castle?" ”
"Marshal Du, the lord of the Taishi Kingdom, the war is in full swing, our army has been storming all night, and now it is exhausted, when the villain came, Marshal Ilahab was reorganizing the army and sending the newly arrived soldiers to continue the siege." The flag officer was very well-behaved, and he knew everything.
But after going around the rear army and the Menghu army, it was already afternoon, and he didn't know the latest battle situation in front of Qinglong Castle. After more than half a day of bloody fighting, more than half of the 30,000 civilians who had just arrived on the front line had already suffered casualties.
Irahab squinted his eyes and stared at the Blue Dragon Fort carefully, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
Qinglong Fort is too small, the soldiers left in the fort are less than 10,000 people, among the 10,000 people, according to the military system of the Guards, there are also artillery, medical soldiers and other troops that are not easily put into close combat, after the fierce attack of the night and day, the artillery of the Song Guards is obviously insufficient to use, and Ilahab has calculated, and now it is still bombarded normally is less than half of the beginning.
Insufficient troops, this is the biggest shortcoming of the Song people, insufficient troops can not be rotated, many of the Song people should have fought from last night to the present, even the iron men are exhausted, the so-called strong crossbow can not wear Lu Min, their own willing casualties and the use of sea of people tactics, after all, still worked.
"Tell the armies to get ready, try to attack again, and it will be their turn to officially play." Ilaha preached.
Qin Dashi woke up hungry after lunchtime, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, no one could wake him up, and after waking up, he didn't care about eating, so he ran up to the watchtower first.
"How's the battle going?" He asked.
"Defeated the Jin people three more times, you see, the corpses under the Blue Dragon City." Luo Anqiong said triumphantly: "We have enough shells, enough support, the Jin people are sent to death like this, and the last time they were only worthy of climbing the city wall, they were driven back!" ”
He was so excited that his words were a little confused, Qin Dashi frowned, seeing that the Jin people began to form a team again, he quickly glanced at the battlefield, and sure enough, everywhere he could see, there were all the corpses of the Jin people, roughly calculated, I was afraid that there were tens of thousands of people. This kind of killing, Qin Dashi is also experiencing it for the first time, it is better to not be able to see the corpse clearly at night, but he can see it clearly during the day, which makes him look slightly uneasy.
"What about our casualties?"
"Twenty-five people were killed, more than thirty were wounded, and there were quite a few people who were skilled in archery, if it weren't for them, the Jin people would not have been able to climb the city wall." Luo Anqiong said again.
Coupled with the number of casualties last night, in the fierce battle of one night and one day, the Guards lost less than 100 people and only about 200 wounded, while the losses caused to the Jin people were tens of thousands. This data did not make Qin Dashi feel reassured, he frowned again, the Jin people suffered tens of thousands of casualties, most of them were coerced people, these people were originally good laborers, but they died worthless under Qinglong Castle. Could it be that the lord of the Jin Kingdom really does not cherish the people's power and despises the lives of the people?
"Boom!"
At this moment, Qin Dashi heard a roar on the fort in the city, and when he turned around, he saw that a corner of the originally high fort was missing, and there was originally a cannon there, and the cannon had flown somewhere. His face changed drastically, and he quickly asked, "Blown up?" ”
The artillery technology of the Song Dynasty is very rigorous, and the cannons and shells produced in accordance with the standardized parts production method ensure the safety of the artillery as much as possible, and the safety of the artillery drill is put in the first place.
"I'll take a look!" Luo Anqiong's smug look was gone, he asked for instructions, and after getting Qin Dashi's permission, he quickly ran down the watchtower.
