Chapter 490: Blocking
The name of this Jurchen young man is Wanyan Yanying, he is actually the son of Wanyan Yinshuke, and he is one of the most warlike sons of Wanyan Yinshuke, and he is also famous in history! When he was sixteen years old, he went to the battlefield and followed Wanyan Aguta to conquer Liao, often as a pioneer, and was personally awarded the commander of a thousand by Wanyan Aguta! After going south to attack Taiyuan, Hedong, and Kaifeng, he made great contributions and became the commander of ten thousand masters!
It's just a pity that Wanyan Zongfu, who was harmed by Wanyan Yinshu, died, and Wanyan Yanying was also affected, although he was the commander of ten thousand masters, but he could only stay in a remote place like Zezhou! Moreover, although Zezhou has 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are new annexed armies composed of Khitan and Han people, and the number of real Jurchen soldiers will not exceed 2,000, and the combat effectiveness of such an army is extremely limited!
After coming out of Zezhou City, Wan Yan Yanying still felt extremely anxious in his heart, and he still had a terrifying expression on his face.
The rest of the Jurchen soldiers followed behind Wan Yan Yanying, and they all felt that Wan Yan Yanying was a little cowardly!
"General, it's impossible for the Song army to suddenly appear in the north! Our Dajin Kingdom is about to unite with the Khitan and Mongolia to launch an attack on them, and they simply don't have the courage to go north now! A commander in the back couldn't help but say.
"What do you know? When I was a teenager, I followed Emperor Taizu to fight in all directions, and I was proficient in the art of war and strategy! In June and July, the Han sailors began to harass us, and the number of their sailors reached 100,000, which was extremely terrifying! Our countless grains and grass in Liaodong were burned by them, and the commander of Liaodong Wanyan Zonghan was in a hurry! Moreover, not long after that, the Khitans in Liaodong began to rebel one after another! The leader of the Khitans in Liaodong is called King Liao, and I heard that he came to Liaodong on the orders of the Han emperor! Now the Khitan rebel army in Liaodong has gone all the way north and laid down countless cities, and the 100,000 troops of our Dajin Kingdom in Liaodong can only exterminate these Khitan man-made rebel armies, and they are simply unable to reinforce Zhongjing and Shangjing to the west! Why did the Han people incite the Khitans to rebel at this time? Have you never thought about it? Wanyan Yanying couldn't help but shout.
"This ...... As long as Yelu Dashi comes, the Khitan people in Liaodong will naturally be quiet. The commander in the back said.
"At this time, you still have such fantasies! Yelu Dashi was just the Yanjing of the Liao State back then, and the rebellious Liao King was the son of the former Liao Emperor, the real crown prince, tell me who the Khitans would listen to? Yelu Dashi can't control the Khitans in Liaodong at all! Wan Yan Yanying said.
"General, it won't be like this." Thousand-mile said.
Before the commander's words were over, suddenly a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in front of him, and he saw more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers galloping towards here.
"What's going on?" Wan Yan Yanying frowned.
Soon, the dozen or so Jurchen soldiers rushed to Wan Yan Yanying's side.
"Where are you soldiers? Why do you look so scared? Wan Yan Yanying shouted.
The commanders behind also had surprised expressions on their faces.
"General, something is wrong, the Song army is here!" A Jurchen soldier said.
"Song Jun is here?" Wanyan Yanying was shocked in her heart, and the commanders behind her all showed unbelievable expressions on their faces! They were still discussing whether the Song army would come just now, but they didn't expect these soldiers to run into the Song army! Moreover, they got the news that the Song army was coming from the direction of Niushan, and now these soldiers are coming from the north.
"General, we were ordered to garrison Shiziling, an hour ago, the Song army suddenly appeared, Shiziling has been breached, only a few of us have escaped back, they are advancing towards Zezhou!" Another Jurchen soldier panted.
"Not good! The Song army must have conquered the sacred mountain! Can't go any further north, to the east! To the east! Wan Yan Yanying said loudly.
At this time, no one in the commanders behind them argued, and everyone knew that Wan Yan Yanying had guessed correctly, and the Song army had indeed gone north!
"Song Jun is here! We should be facing the Song army in Juyongguan, about 100,000 people! The Song army in Datong and Shanhaiguan will go north! It's over, Dajin Country is over, Dajin Country is over! Wan Yan Yanying felt that the pain in his heart was about to explode, since his father's death, he was snubbed, and seeing the Jurchen becoming more and more depressed, until now he was almost wiped out, he felt powerless!
"Go to Zhongjing immediately and meet Yan Chang and the fourth prince! This time, I will risk my death and advise them to immediately take all the Jurchens from Zhongjing, Shangjing, and Liaodong, and we will return to the deep mountains and old forests in the north! We chose to surrender to the Han people, and at that time the Jurchens still had a way to live, otherwise we would definitely be exterminated! Wan Yan Yanying kept shouting in her heart.
The Jurchens had just walked east for less than a quarter of an hour when the sound of the earth shaking sounded!
Hearing this voice, all the Jurchens had frightened expressions on their faces! This was the sound of a very large cavalry group charging, and the Song army far outnumbered them!
"Not good! Run! All the way east! Wan Yan Yanying kept shouting.
The motley army of more than 10,000 Jurchen, Khitan, and Han people fled to the east in fear!
The Song army behind was still several miles away from here, and they were chasing after them closely.
"They go east, and there is a great river to the east, and they will not be able to cross it! That big river finally turned to the north, Xue Yue, you immediately lead 10,000 soldiers to the north and block them along the river! Li Yanxian pursued Jin Bing behind, thought about it, and suddenly said.
The big river in the east is actually one of the branches of the Luan River, the Song army has been preparing for the battle of destroying Jin for a long time, and the map of the north has long been clear, such rivers are drawn on the map, but they are not named! Li Yanxian's art of war strategy is far inferior to Li Xianzhong and Fu Xuan, but the Yanyun Military Region also has its own military headquarters, and Li Yanxian is also followed by staff officers, along the way, they have already summarized all kinds of possible situations, and have ways to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations!
The "Xue Yue" mentioned by Li Yanxian is not the famous anti-Japanese general Xue Yue in later generations, but the descendants of the Xue family in Hedong in this era! Hedong Xue was once a famous gate valve in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there were many celebrities, Xue Rengui was the descendant of Hedong Xue, and so was Xue Yue! When the Jurchens invaded, Hedong was occupied by the Jurchens, Xue Yue was only a thirteen-year-old boy at the time, he crossed the Yellow River to Guanshan, and then joined the army, now Xue Yue is only twenty years old, but he is already the commander of the first army of the Yanyun Military Region!
After hearing the order, Xue Yue immediately led 10,000 cavalry towards the north.
Xue Yue is tall and handsome, but his face is full of scars! He joined the army at the age of thirteen, went through countless battles, and was almost killed by the enemy several times, and it is impossible to have no scars on his face! He is also a rare martial arts player in the Yanyun Military Region, but his martial arts are also obtained on the battlefield and comprehended from the battle of life and death!
Xue Yue's 10,000 cavalry galloped towards the north desperately, in fact, they had not rested for several days, both men and horses were exhausted, but now none of the soldiers shouted tired, and none of the soldiers stopped!
It wasn't until dusk that day that the sound of water was heard in front of me, and the army stopped!
"Scout the surroundings immediately and see if there are any signs of Jurchen passing!" Xue Yue shouted.
Soon, the soldiers returned and reported on the situation around them.
There was a calm in front of me, there were grasslands everywhere, and there were no Jurchens passing by at all!
"Our main cavalry is chasing behind the enemy, and the enemy has no chance to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, so they can only go north when they reach the river! Of course, they may also go south, if they go south, our more than 100,000 troops are in the south, and they have only one way to die! I think the reason why they fled should be because they got the news that our army is coming from Niushan or Waterfall City, and they will not go south! They're going to pass through here! Let's block here, they won't fight with us, but turn around and go west! Immediately lay out thistles on the west side! It's already dark, dig a trap in the west! Xue Yue was silent for a moment and said suddenly.
At the moment, 5,000 soldiers are resting here, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers are going to the west to dig traps, arrange thistles and other affairs! When everything was arranged, 5,000 soldiers came here again, and the whole army rested!
After another quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves finally came from the south, and a sneer appeared on Xue Yue's face.
******
Wanyan Yanying really led the Jin soldiers north along the river, but at this moment, the Jin soldiers team was extremely embarrassed! Moreover, there were originally more than 10,000 Jin soldiers, and there were only seven or eight thousand people left at the moment! Li Yanxian has been chasing behind them, and during this period, some Jin soldiers fell behind and were all annihilated by Li Yanxian.
The voice of Li Yanxian's cavalry could no longer be heard in the back, and Wanyan Yanying breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the Jurchen soldiers behind him also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go north immediately and spread the news to Zhongjing!" Wan Yan Yanying said.
"We have to go to Yuzhou first and inform Pharmacist Guo in Yuzhou." A commander in the back said.
"Not bad!" Wan Yan Yanying nodded.
"I finally escaped with my life! is still a powerful general, and he can even guess that the Han people are going north! The commander said.
Wanyan Yanying smiled bitterly and was about to speak, when at this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from the north!
After hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Wan Yan Yanying and the Jurchen soldiers behind him were stunned!
"Why are there Han people everywhere? Didn't they come from the west, and how could there be from the north? Now there are Han Chinese here too? A Jurchen soldier shouted in fear.
"It may not be Han, it may be our Jurchen army!" There is humanity.
"No, it's Han!" Someone in front had already seen Song Jun's clothes clearly, and shouted at the moment.
"Go west at once!" Wanyan Yanying immediately gave an order!
Soon, the Jin army headed towards the west, but they walked less than two miles to the west, and the Jin soldiers in front of them rolled into the trap one after another!
It was dark, and the Jin army fled in a hurry, not expecting that there were countless traps waiting for them in the west! The golden soldiers in front of them all fell into the trap, and the golden soldiers behind pulled their horses one after another, and at this time, Xue Yue had already led 10,000 cavalry to rush over!
"Kill!" Xue Yue roared, and the Song soldiers beside him followed with a roaring sound, and a moment later, the roar on the grassland shook the sky, and 10,000 Song soldiers roared in unison.
A desperate expression appeared on Wanyan Yanying's face......
