Chapter 341: Wan Yan Chang
"Is it our Jurchen army?" The commander of the pro-soldier was the first to shout.
The Golden Vulture looked towards the east, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, the defeated soldiers beside Jin Wushu cheered one after another!
In the distance, there is indeed a large army coming here, and judging by their dress and appearance, it is indeed the army of the Jurchens.
But why did the Jurchen army appear here? The Golden Vulture is unbelievable.
"Could it be Wan Yanchang's army?" The Golden Vulture said secretly.
"Fourth Prince, it must be Master Taishi who led the army from the east! Let's join them at once! The commander said in surprise.
The so-called Master Taishi is Wan Yan Chang, and now Wan Yan Chang is serving as the Taishi of the Dajin Kingdom.
"It should be the end of Yanchang! Let's go meet him! Jin Wushu nodded and said.
At that moment, Jin Wushu immediately led more than 5,000 rout soldiers towards the opposite side, and after they appeared, the Jurchen army on the opposite side immediately became vigilant, but soon they recognized that this was their own person, and immediately put the 5,000 rout soldiers in.
The 5,000 defeated soldiers were extremely surprised, they thought that they would not be able to escape the pursuit, and everyone was terrified. Now that they see their army, they know they are safe.
Jin Wushu was riding on a horse, his body was dirty and embarrassed, and at this time, dozens of Jurchen nobles rushed over on horseback in front of him.
The leader was Wan Yanchang, and the people who followed him were also some well-known Jurchen generals.
"Zong Bi, how did you become like this?" After Yan Chang saw the Golden Vulture Technique, he was also taken aback.
Just now he heard that a group of routs had arrived, and he was already surprised in his heart. He also got the news that the Han cavalry appeared in the grassland before, and he guessed that these routs were defeated by the Han cavalry, but he didn't expect that the leader was Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Dajin Kingdom!
"Taishi!" Jin Wushu smiled wryly and let out a long sigh.
"What the hell is going on? Did you encounter the cavalry of the Han Chinese? You were defeated by them? What about your 180,000 army? Wan Yanchang asked hurriedly at this moment.
"From the previous night's battle to the present, especially yesterday afternoon, we have been attacked from both sides by the Han Chinese, and the 180,000-strong army has been completely routed! Now only these 5,000 people have fled with me. Jin Wushu was unusually ashamed, and said.
"What? An army of 180,000 was completely defeated? There are only five thousand people left with you? How is this possible? Wan Yanchang was in disbelief.
The Jurchen generals around Wan Yanchang were also unbelievable!
"Where did Han Chang go? Where did Uyan Puluhun go? Wan Yanchang asked again.
"After Han Chang's Palace, life and death are unknown now! As for Uyan Puluhun, he was killed by a small soldier of the Han Chinese! If it weren't for the fact that Wuyan Puluhun was killed by Han soldiers, we wouldn't have been defeated! This damn thing. Jin Wushu gritted his teeth.
"What the hell is going on? Don't you often say that the Han people are weak? Why were you defeated by such a weak Han Chinese? Don't they only have 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses? How is it possible to defeat you? "Wan Yan Chang said.
"They are not just thirty or forty thousand soldiers! They have an army of 80,000! Although he felt more and more ashamed, he still began to explain.
He explained in great detail, from the night before yesterday when he got the news of the Huanqing Army, until he was later attacked by the Khitan rout, until he was attacked from both sides, completely defeated, and then ambushed all the way to the present.
"Are you saying that half of their soldiers and horses actually came around from Mayu Mountain? That's impossible! I don't know what kind of place Ma Yu Mountain is, there are dense jungles, and snow-capped mountains are spreading, and it is a place of death, and one or two people with strong martial arts can still come out of there, and tens of thousands of troops will never pass through there. "Wan Yan Chang said.
But there is only one explanation! They passed through there! I don't know why the Han people were able to do this. "Golden Vulture Dao.
"You just said that your 80,000 troops fought against the 30,000 or 40,000 Han cavalry in front of you, and you couldn't defeat them? It can't be either! Are the Han people so powerful? "Wan Yan Chang said.
"The strength of the Han people is no longer below us." Jin Wushu smiled bitterly.
After Jin Wushu finished speaking, Wan Yanchang frowned.
Both of them were standing on a high slope at the moment, but the sky was getting dark, and they could no longer see the scene in the distance.
Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and there were Jurchen and Khitan routs coming here, about more than a thousand people.
A moment later, more than 2,000 Jurchen and Khitan routs arrived from the other direction.
These Jurchen and Khitan routs also heard the sound of the horn and hurried towards here.
"Taishi, you are here with a large army, now go to the west immediately! We should still have quite a few defeated troops in the West, and we need to get them all out! Moreover, you have such an army that you should be able to defeat all the Han Chinese! The Han have been fighting with us for so long, and they are now exhausted to the extreme, and they are not your opponents! The Golden Vulture said suddenly.
"This ......" Wan Yanchang's face showed a look of hesitation.
"Master, now you have to go west immediately!" Golden Vulture Dao.
"No! Fourth Prince, just now you said that the Han cavalry is so powerful, we may not be their opponents! Moreover, now that it is already so dark, the Han people are good at intrigue and trickery, if they arrange conspiracy and trickery in front, we will be wiped out, what will we do? Wan Yanchang's commander stood up and said.
"It can't be! You came so suddenly, I didn't get any news, how could the Han people get the news? Taishi, send troops quickly! "Golden Vulture Dao.
"I think we need to be cautious!" Wan Yan Chang said.
At this moment, torches had been lit in the army of Wan Yan Chang, and the surroundings were bright.
Seeing this torch, rout soldiers arrived one after another, and the pursuers of the forbidden army and the Huanqing army also came to this vicinity. However, the pursuers of the Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army did not attack these large armies, and they immediately let the news be passed to the back, not to mention it.
In fact, a few days ago, Liu Qi had already received the news that Wan Yanchang's army was not far from here, and they needed to defeat Jin Wushu in the shortest possible time. The Huanqing army has also been preparing for Yan Chang's arrival, and they are not as unprepared as Jin Wushu said.
Jin Wushu was anxious and kept urging, but Wan Yanchang was not moved at all.
Wan Yanchang was cautious in his use of troops and was unwilling to move forward.
During this night, more and more rout troops came, and there were more than 50,000 people, including more than 20,000 Jurchens, and the rest were savage Jurchen and Khitan routs.
The forbidden army and the Huanqing army also seemed to have stopped this night, they had been fighting for so long, they were indeed extremely tired, and it was not yet time to finish attacking Yan Chang's army.
When the sky was bright the next day, the forbidden army and the Huanqing army marched here, and Wan Yanchang had already led the army to leave here and head east.
Wan Yan Chang marched step by step, and in order to prevent the situation that he had encountered before the Golden Vulture Technique, he marched extremely slowly to avoid a sneak attack. On this night, Wan Yanchang came to Zhongjing City, and there were still 70,000 infantry under him in Zhongjing City, and all of Wan Yanchang's army entered Zhongjing City.
******
In the early morning of April 21, the forbidden army and the Huanqing army also came to Zhongjing City.
After a big battle, the forbidden army and the Huanqing army also suffered casualties, especially the Huanqing army, which had collided head-on with the Jurchen army before, and there were many casualties. Now the Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army together have only more than 70,000 people.
The soldiers of the forbidden army and the Huanqing army rode on horses and galloped.
And on the city wall of Zhongjing City, there are Jurchen and Khitan soldiers standing at this moment.
Wan Yanchang was standing on the city wall to the west, and at this moment he was observing the soldiers of the forbidden army and the Huanqing army below.
Jin Wushu and several captains stood beside Wan Yanchang.
"Tell me, how about the Han cavalry below?" Wan Yan Chang said.
"They are extremely powerful, and they are by no means under the elite of our Jurchens!" Next to him a captain said.
"Not bad! I didn't expect the Han people to have such a cavalry! It seems that this is the strongest army of the Han people, and they sent this army to the steppe to snipe us! Zong Bi, you were careless and arrogant with your soldiers, and you were defeated by them. Wan Yanchang looked at the golden vulture beside him and said.
"Their 40,000 cavalry passed through Mayu Mountain, which is almost impossible, and no one would have expected it! If I had known that there were so many Han cavalry, I would have been cautious! The Golden Vulture was furious.
"Anyway, you've failed! Our 180,000 army of Dajin Kingdom has been reduced to only 50,000 by you! Hmph, now you're still standing in front of me. Wan Yanchang said coldly.
The two of them have always been at odds with each other, and Wan Yanchang has always been dissatisfied with Jin Wushu.
"If you are there, you will definitely be defeated." The Golden Vulture was ashamed and angry.
"The Han Chinese are starting to camp down there! They originally rode into the grassland on a light horse, and the supplies they carried were limited, but they conquered Enzhou, and all the materials you carried by Zongbi were also snatched away by them, and now they are not short of supplies! Hum! Wan Yanchang said coldly again.
"Taishi, the Han people only have 70,000 or 80,000 horses, and you have more than 100,000 troops under your command, plus the 50,000 troops under me, we still have more than 200,000 people! We rushed out and slaughtered all the Han Chinese! "Golden Vulture Dao.
"Han people are elite! Although you and I have a large number of soldiers and horses, many of them are new Khitan annexes, and these new Khitan annexes are not good at fighting, and we may not be the opponents of the Han people. Wan Yanchang said lightly.
"Then what is the Taishi going to do? Are we staying in Zhongjing City? We also have to go south to assist Zongwang and occupy Guanshan! Wan Yan Zongbi said.
"Pharmacist Guo must have gotten the news, let's wait for Pharmacist Guo!" Wan Yan Chang said.
Guo Yaoshi is the famous "general of the Liao, Song and Jin dynasties" in history, he is a person from Liaodong, when the Jurchen invaded, he recruited Liaodong people as soldiers, known as the resentful army. After the fall of the Liao State, Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the Song Dynasty. After the Jurchen invasion, Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the Jurchens and returned to Liaodong. Now there are 100,000 resentful troops under Guo Yaoshi, and his combat power is extraordinary. It's just that Guo Yaoshi is a former remnant of the Bohai Kingdom, and he is not trusted in the Jurchens, so this time the Jurchens did not call Guo Yaoshi when they went south. Now Wan Yanchang has sent someone to inform Pharmacist Guo and ask Pharmacist Guo to go to Zhongjing.
Wan Yanchang planned to wait until Guo Yaoshi arrived, and then join forces with Guo Yaoshi to defeat the Han cavalry on the grassland, and then go south.
He has a cautious personality and would rather be useless than make mistakes. At this moment, he would never go out of the city to fight against the forbidden army and the Huanqing army. Moreover, Zhongjing City has so many soldiers and horses, and he is not afraid of the Han people attacking the city. He estimated that the Han people would not stay long on the grassland, although the Han people got the grain and grass from Enzhou, but the amount was not very large, at most ten days and a half months.
