Chapter 1230: A Thousand Miles to Help! Reinforcements from the Sky (2) [2-in-1]
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In the main formation of the Han army on the outskirts of Shanyang Dongcheng, Han General Ju Xin and Wei General Wu Ji each brandished their long-handled blades, clanging into a ball. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, nearby, many Shang and Shui soldiers also entered the ranks of the Han army, and they were inseparable from the Quyang army.
I have to say that in the previous siege battle against Shanyang, the strength of the Quyang soldiers can be seen, even if it is the Shanyang army under the command of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who has been shining for most of the year, they also feel very difficult to go to the Quyang soldiers.
However, now in front of the soldiers of Shangshui, the Quyang soldiers fell into a disadvantage in a short period of time, and were defeated by the former.
The decline in morale is certainly one thing, after all, no one in the Han army thought that the army under the command of Wei Gongrun would rush to support so coincidentally, so that the thousands of Han soldiers who were still outside the city at this moment were already frightened in their hearts when they faced tens of thousands of Wei army reinforcements, and there was still any fighting spirit.
And the other point is the gap in equipment.
Even though the weapons and equipment on the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army have been used for nearly two years, and they are about to be eliminated and replaced due to the wear and tear of the many expeditions, but even so, the sharp long swords in the hands of the Han infantry still need to be very difficult to pierce the armor of the Wei soldiers - but the Shang and Shui soldiers are not fools, won't they turn around and avoid it, and won't they use their shields to resist?
The merchant navy, which has rich combat experience, has found some tricks to kill the enemy and save his life in the long years of fighting, such as stabbing the enemy's sharp blade into his armor at the same time, suddenly turning sideways, and then using the shield in his left hand to give the enemy a heavy shield blow head-on, and then take advantage of the situation to hit the opponent hard.
As for the enemy's slash, unfortunately, the Shang Shui Army has yet to encounter an enemy who can break through their armor with a single slash.
That's the advantage that comes with equipment.
Relying on the excellent and reliable weapon armor that is still excellent and reliable after two years of use, the Shang Shui Army has an overwhelming advantage in front of the Quyang Army, even if it is compared to the hard power of the soldiers, in fact, the difference between the two soldiers is not far away.
"Poofβ"
"Ahh
The screams of the Han army in Quyang came and went, which shocked the Han general Xixin.
Whether it is him, or the Quyang soldiers under his command, they have not really fought with the Shang Shui Army so far, they just heard the remnants of the defeated soldiers defeated by Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Feng Ying mentioned the power of the Su Wang Army - Shang Shui Army, Yan Ling Army, (Shang Shui) Youma Army, Storm Kite and others have a very high opinion of these three Wei armies, so much so that Ji Xin once wondered if these people had an idea to elevate their opponents and make them escape the punishment of defeat.
It was only at this moment, when he saw with his own eyes that the Quyang army under his command was retreating in front of the Shangshui army, and Ju Xin realized that the original warnings of Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying were not true.
Damn it! was caught by the reinforcements of the Wei army......
While parrying Wu Ji's attack, Ji Xin cursed secretly in his heart.
He felt that his luck was too bad, and he didn't expect that the reinforcements led by Wei Gongzirun would actually fall from the sky in the gap between their Korean army breaking through Shanyang and six or seven soldiers had already entered the city, so that his Korean army suddenly fell into passivity.
This is simply God's protection of Wei Gongrun!
This seems to be a coincidence, but it has not happened a few times since ancient times!
"Hey, where are you?"
Just as Ju Xin was distracted, he suddenly heard the warning of the Wei general in front of him.
He was shocked in his heart, and immediately came back to his senses, and he used the long knife in his hand to block the head-on heavy slash of the Wei general.
The heavy force made the iron body of the long-handled war knife in Ji Xin's hand bend terrifyingly.
Fuck it! This bastard named Wu Ji has such a heavy arm strength?!
Ji Xin was secretly cursing, and suddenly the war horse under his crotch couldn't stand it, and leaned forward on his knees, and actually lifted him off.
I have to say that Ji Xin is worthy of being a fierce general at the level of the top ten in the northern plains, and while falling, he picked up the long-handled war knife and actually discounted the two front legs of the war horse under Wu Ji's crotch.
only heard a mournful roar from the war horse under Wu Ji's crotch, unable to stand firmly, and lifted off the owner on his back.
"General!"
"General!"
In the exclamation of the nearby Han and Wei soldiers, Ji Xin and Wu Ji quickly got up from the snow and brandished their long-handled swords to fight again.
To be honest, Ji Xin didn't want to fight with Wu Ji at all at this time, because he was very worried about the Quyang soldiers under his command who had already entered Shanyang County.
After all, just now, Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements have also entered the city, which makes Wu Ji very worried about his subordinates.
But unfortunately, Wu Ji entangled him to death, leaving him with no skills.
And what makes Ji Xin even more resentful is that Wu Ji, the Wei general, is still quite powerful, even compared to Wei Gongzijiang, it is not inferior, and even surpasses.
Because he was distracted and worried about his subordinates in Shanyang City, Ju Xin couldn't exert his strength on weekdays at the moment.
On the other hand, Wu Ji, because he had no psychological burden, became more and more comfortable with the fight, so that he gradually suppressed the drama.
Gradually, Ji Xin couldn't support it anymore, and he couldn't help but say: "Wu Ji, I know you, you are the general of the Shang Shui Army...... The chief general of the dignified merchant and water army, who did not command the soldiers, actually did the courage of the horseman! Don't you worry about your men falling apart? β
Wu Ji looked at the drama with some surprise, but the movements in his hands did not slow down.
It's also a shame that Wu Ji is not familiar with the drama Xin, otherwise if he were a person who knew the deeds of the drama Xin, I am afraid that he would be sarcastic at the moment, because the drama Xin is the same as Lian Jie, they are both fierce generals who advocate personal force very much, and they are the kind of warriors who are good at commanding, but I just like to work alone.
Especially when encountering a fierce general with strong personal strength like Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, whether it is incorruptible or dramatic, he will not be able to bear the itch, regardless of the dissuasion of the soldiers around him, and ride alone to ask for killing.
Therefore, in a sense, when Ji Xin said such a thing at this moment, it means that he has a weak heart.
However, Wu Ji didn't know about Ji Xin's deeds, he just said honestly: "Worried? What is there to worry about? There are many generals in our army who are better at commanding than me......"
This is indeed the truth, among the Wei and Qin coalition troops brought by King Zhao Hongrun to Shanyang County this time, there is no shortage of generals who are good at commanding, such as Zhao Hongrun himself, and then Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingyi, as well as Zhai Huang and Nanmen Chi of the Shang Water Army, and even, Xu Jiong and Chen Shu at the level of 3,000 generals, as well as Ran Teng, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, etc., who are at the level of 1,000 generals, are all generals who are good at commanding local small-scale wars.
Whether or not Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, commands the war, to be honest, there is not much difference.
"Maybe I don't have the talent for command...... However, I also have what I can do, for example, leave you, the drama of Kitahara Shihao! Wu Ji restrained the smile on his face and said in a low voice.
"Arrogance!" Ji Xin scolded angrily, and swept towards Wu Ji with his sword swinging.
However, Wu Ji squatted down as expected, and was able to avoid this blow.
A few strands of hair fell, Wu Ji quickly pulled out the saber at his waist with his left hand, and cut the armor on his abdomen with his backhand when Ji Xin didn't have time to retract his strength.
β¦β¦
Ji Xin subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Wu Ji in disbelief.
"General!"
When the guards of Ju Xin not far away, they all surrounded him, and said to Ju Xin: "Don't stay here for a long time, the general retreats quickly!" β
Withdraw?
Ji Xin secretly laughed bitterly.
Yes, now, he no longer has the luxury of rescuing the Han army in the city, and it is not easy to save his own life.
Withdraw? Easier said than done!
He glanced around, and saw that the Shangshui soldiers around him had faintly surrounded them, and the reason why they hadn't attacked for the time being was just to respect the contest between him and Wu Ji.
But if he turns around and flees, I believe that those Wei soldiers will definitely greet him with crossbows in their handsβno Wei man will refuse to kill a Korean general!
"Leave ......"
Under the solemn gaze of Ji Xin, Wu Ji held the long-handled war knife in his right hand and placed it diagonally behind his back, and held the sword in his left hand, horizontal to his chest, staring at Ji Xin intently.
ββ¦β¦ Your head! β
"Go away!" Pushing his guard to the side, Ji Xin stared at Wu Ji, took a deep breath, held his long-handled war knife in both hands, and put on an attacking posture.
He knew that unless he killed the main general of the Wei army in front of him in this fair contest and shook the hearts of the Wei troops around him, he would definitely not be able to leave here alive.
"The stinky boy wants to kill Lao Tzu?!"
With a loud shout, Ji Xin took the lead in attacking, but Wu Ji's movements were not slow, the two long-handled blades slammed together, and the compelling aura made even the surrounding Shangshui soldiers show a dignified and frightened look.
At the same time, in Shanyang City, similar to the situation of the Han general Ju Xin, the two Korean armies of the Quyang Army and the Handan Army were also facing a dangerous threat, and the reinforcements of the Qin and Wei armies entered from the South Gate and the East City Gate of Shanyang respectively, killing the Han army by surprise.
The first to enter Shanyang City was the Iron Eagle Cavalry led by Yangquan Jun Yingyi.
When the Qin cavalry under the banner of Qin entered the city, the Shanyang soldiers and civilians who were still fighting in the area of the southern city wall and desperately blocking the Korean army were almost desperate: the Korean army had not retreated, and the Qin army had entered Shanyang again?
After all, since the victory of the Battle of Sanchuan of Wei and Qin spread throughout the country, the people of Shanyang judged the Qin people to be the enemy.
However, in desperation, the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County saw that the cavalry of the Qin State launched a merciless attack on the Korean army.
In the case of difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County stood near the city wall, vigilantly watching this Qin army.
And at this moment, they found that in the ranks of the Qin army, there were actually Weizi military flags.
What does that mean? Is it the banner of our Wei army captured by the Qin army?
That's not how the captured flags are used.
The soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County were somewhat incomprehensible.
At this time, the generals of the Qin army, led by Yangquan Jun Yingyi, saw that he was wary of the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County, who were wary of the city and the city, and shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to the Wei people in Shanyang, my Great Qin army has made a special trip to help defend Shanyang at the invitation of Wei Gongzi Run!" β¦β¦ It's a friend or foe, don't get hurt by mistake! β
Wei Gongzirun?
Is it His Royal Highness King Su?!
The Shanyang soldiers and civilians above and below the city were surprised, or a veteran of the Shanyang army asked in surprise: "Your country and my Great Wei, weren't they still fighting some time ago?" β
"It's long gone." Yangquan Jun Yingyi glanced around at the nearby Wei people, and shouted loudly: "Right now, Qin and Wei have formed an alliance, Your Royal Highness, the prince of your country, will marry the princess of my Great Qin, and my Royal Highness the Young Monarch of Great Qin will also marry the princess of your country, and the two countries of Qin and Wei will form a marriage alliance!" β
This......
The soldiers and civilians of nearby Shanyang County looked at each other.
Thinking about it, it is simply unbelievable that the two countries, which were still fighting for life and death half a year ago, suddenly married each other and concluded an alliance.
But if you think about it carefully, now that Shanyang County has reached the point of life and death, there is really no need for the Qin army to deceive them.
So after a short silence, the residents of Shanyang County in the nearby area erupted in earth-shaking cheers.
Seeing this, Yang Quanjun Ying Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not worried about the Han army in Shanyang County, after all, no matter how powerful the Han army was, it would not be able to defeat the Wei soldiers under Wei Gongzi Run.
The only thing he was worried about when he entered the city was that the people of Shanyang mistakenly regarded his Qin army as an accomplice of the Han army, and if there were unnecessary casualties on both sides due to misunderstanding, it would be difficult for him to explain to that Wei Gongzirun.
After all, in a sense, that Wei Gongzirun is now their Qin people's uncle.
"This general!"
Or dozens of veterans of the Shanyang Army came out one after another, and among them, one of the uncles clenched his fists and said: "Please allow me to wait and follow your army for the time being, so as not to be injured by mistake." β
Hearing this, Yangquan Jun Yingyi nodded: "There is labor!" β
At this time, the black army under the command of Yangquan Jun Ying Yi had already defeated the Han army above and below the city wall, planted the Qin and Wei military flags all over the city wall, and along the city wall, attacked the west city wall and the east city wall.
During this period, because the Qin soldiers held high the banners of Wei characters and shouted slogans such as "We are the Shanyang reinforcements", the Shanyang soldiers and soldiers encountered along the way joined the Qin army one after another.
While leading the Qin army to pursue the Han army in the city, Yangquan Jun Yingyi noticed the corpses in the streets and alleys of the city.
Looking at the corpse with civilian clothes, a few traces of confusion flashed in his eyes: Wei State, is there also an army similar to the black face?
He questioned the old Sanyang soldier who had opened the way for the Qin army, who angrily told him that it was the Han army that was massacring civilians in Shanyang City.
Hearing this, Yangquan Jun Ying Yi frowned deeply.
In all fairness, in fact, looking back more than 20 years ago, when the Qin State was expanding abroad, there were also many evil deeds such as looting the property and women of the enemy country, and massacring the civilians of the enemy country, but Yangquan Jun Yingyi himself did not like this ugly behavior very much.
Having said that, with the introduction of the Central Plains culture and customs into the Qin State by Zuo Shu Changwei Ying and others, there have been few vicious acts of massacre of civilians in the Qin State in the past 20 years, at most the civilians of the enemy country have been reduced to untouchables and their property confiscated, unless these undigits have obtained titles through military exploits.
Therefore, Yangquan Jun Yingyi was very surprised, even the Qin people, who were in the west and were contemptuously called barbarians, no longer slaughtered civilians, and the army of Korea, which admired the culture of the Central Plains, continued this ugly evil behavior.
Since Han Jun is this kind of goods, then there is no need for him to show mercy when he wins.
Thinking of this, Yangquan Jun Ying Yi issued an order to the Qin army under his command: Anyone who holds a Han pawn with a blade will be killed!
The Qin army's blow in the back made the Han soldiers who had already entered the city feel confused.
They never imagined that when they captured Shanyang, an army of the Qin State would be killed behind them, and this army of the Qin State actually came to rescue the Wei people in Shanyang.
Why?!
What the hell is going on?!
Aren't the two countries at war between Qin and Wei?!
With all kinds of incomprehensible confusion, the Han soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Qin army's Iron Eagle cavalry and the Black Mask Army.
At the east gate of Shanyang, Qin Shaojun also led a Qin army and half of the merchant army into the city.
When he saw the corpses of the people everywhere in Shanyang, especially the corpses of women and children, Qin Shaojun's face turned blue.
Although for some reason, she was not able to marry Wei Gongrun and become the princess of Wei for the time being, but this did not prevent her from treating Wei people as her own compatriots. (I originally wanted to use Zimin, but it felt awkward.) οΌ
The two countries of Qin and Wei have been friends for generations, and there will never be conflicts again, which is the biggest long-cherished wish in her heart now.
However, the Han army, who was actually slaughtering the Wei civilians in Shanyang, did not even spare women and children?!
Thinking of this, she pointed to the Han soldier in the distance in front of her, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!" β¦β¦ No mercy! β
In fact, even if she didn't give such an order, the soldiers of Shangshui would not show mercy to the Han soldiers in the city.
When they saw the corpses of civilians everywhere in Shanyang City after entering the city, the soldiers of the Shangshui Army were already angry in their hearts.
Don't think that the Shang Shui Army is from the Chu people, so you won't care about the deaths and injuries of civilians in Shanyang County, you must know that before and after Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led them to attack South Korea last year, the Shang Shui Army passed through Shanyang and was stationed outside the city.
Especially when Wei won the second Northern Frontier Battle and the Shangshui army returned to Shanyang in triumph to temporarily station, in order to thank the soldiers of the Shangshui army, the people of Shanyang spontaneously organized and sent some wine, food, melons and fruits to the garrison of the Shangshui army, and even the girls in Shanyang County, who were more daring, secretly showed their love to the soldiers of the Shangshui army.
After all, Shanyang County is the county seat where Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, is stationed, and the Su Wang army is the army under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and the friendship between these two highnesses makes the relationship between the people of Shanyang and the Su Wang army very good.
And now seeing the soldiers and civilians in Shanyang County being slaughtered by the Han army, the soldiers of the Shangshui Army are full of anger one by one, eager to cut the Korean troops in the city with thousands of knives.
"Kill!"
A group of merchant sailors roared into the streets and alleys, killing all the Han soldiers they encountered along the way.
"Bang!"
Thousands of people kicked Ran Teng open the door of a house.
I saw that in the house, two Han soldiers were holding long swords, and their smiles were frozen on their faces.
And on the bed in the house, there is also a naked Han soldier soldier, who is insulting a crying Sanyang woman.
"Damn it!"
With an angry scolding, Ran Teng stepped forward and killed the two Han soldiers with several merchant soldiers who poured into the house behind him, as for the Han soldier who jumped off the bed with a panicked face, he was hacked to death by those merchant soldiers, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
Ran Teng glanced at the Shanyang woman, and saw the other party wrapped in the futon with a frightened face, and shrunk in the corner with tears on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
I think that when he was temporarily stationed outside Shanyang City, because he was rough and strong, there were several Shanyang girls who showed love to him, all of them were as old as the girl in front of him.
stepped forward and gently hugged the woman in his arms, and Ran Teng comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, my merchant army has arrived in Shanyang ......"
"Business...... Water ......"
The girl in her arms wanted to push Ran Teng away with a frightened face at first, but after hearing Shang Shuijun, her frightened expression gradually relaxed, and she lay on Ran Teng's arms and sobbed silently.
Ran Teng patted the woman's back and comforted her softly, and gradually, the woman fell asleep.
Seeing this, Ran Teng put her down on the bed, covered her with the futon, and walked out of the room.
"Leave two people, the rest of the people, go with Lao Tzu!"
Leaving behind the two merchant soldiers, Ran Teng walked into the depths of the street with a gloomy face.
When passing through an alley, three or five Han soldiers rushed out of the alley.
The five Han soldiers seemed to be being chased by other Shangshui soldiers, and when they saw the dozens of people in Ran Teng's group, their faces showed despair, and they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground, and said: "I will surrender, I will surrender ......."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Ran Teng swing the war knife in his hand, swiped it twice, and slashed the two nearest Han soldiers to the ground.
The other three Han sergeants were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly picked up the blades that were thrown on the ground, but unfortunately, Ran Teng's movements were faster than them, and he slashed the three Han soldiers to death with three swords.
Looking at Ran Teng, whose face was gloomy and covered in blood, dozens of Shangshui soldiers behind him looked at each other.
Or a military commander whispered with some hesitation: "Ran Teng's thousand generals, they, abandoned their weapons and surrendered......"
Yes, those who surrender will not be killed, this is the rule of the Su Wang Army in the past.
"Really?" Ran Teng glanced at the Wu Commander expressionlessly, and said lightly: "That's why I didn't hear ...... clearly."
The Wu Commander was stunned, and glanced at the corpses of the people of Shanyang all around him as if he was aware of it, and immediately corrected: "No, I misunderstood, these five people are going to attack a thousand people!" β
Hearing this, dozens of nearby Shangshui soldiers echoed their words.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Ran Teng's cold face, and then, he lowered his voice and said: "If you investigate it afterwards, I will bear it, and now, you will kill all the beasts in the city with me!" β
"Yes!"
Dozens of merchant and water sergeants answered.
After that, Ran Teng led his men to continue to fight deep in the city, during which the Korean troops they encountered, whether they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, were all killed by Ran Teng's team, and none of them survived.
In fact, it was not only Ran Teng's group of Shangshui soldiers who were doing this, when they saw the corpses of civilians in Shanyang scattered all over the city, most of the Shangshui soldiers seemed to have a strange disease of intermittent deafness and intermittent blindness: they turned a deaf ear to the Han soldiers who shouted that I am willing to surrender, and rushed up to hack them to death; If you accidentally see other Shang Shui Jun Tong Ze slaughtering and poking the Han soldiers who have lost their blades, they will ignore it and walk by as if nothing happened.
Over time, generals such as Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, Xu Jiong, and Chen Shu also noticed the abnormal behavior of their subordinates, but they tacitly did not mention it.
Because even if it is them, there is a raging anger in their hearts that needs to be vented.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, took Wei Jiao, Qi'er and some Wei soldiers to kill the Han army in the area of the East City Gate and stepped up to the city wall.
I saw that on the city wall, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, led the Yan princess Sun, the Li family and the Sun family in the side room, and dozens of Shanyang soldiers, waiting for Zhao Hongrun's arrival as if they were welcome.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Hongrun walked in front of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, looked at the fourth brother who was pale due to excessive blood loss, and clasped his fists: "Fourth brother, I've kept you waiting for a long time." β
Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, grabbed Zhao Hongrun's hand, although he had a thousand words, he was speechless with excitement at the moment.
Even if Zhao Hongrun's reinforcements arrived in Shanyang in early March, it could be called a divine speed, but the former led tens of thousands of Qin-Wei coalition troops to Shanyang on February 26, which is no longer enough to describe it as magical alone.
All the people who survived this battle in Shanyang County owed Zhao Run, the king of Su, a life.
