Chapter 714: Siege

The sound of the arrow is a special storage zài, this is not a ceremonial flower, there is no big action, why release the arrow? Generals, you look at me, I look at you, all with innocent expressions, none of us gave such an order, General Liu, don't blame the wrong person. Liu Guangshi was furious, and hurriedly asked people to check, but at this time, there was a move at the Baima ferry in the north, the sound of horns sounded, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Gao personally got on the boat, and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south bank. Now as long as you are not a fool, you can understand what is going on, the arrow was sent to the Jurchen barbarians on the other side, which is an agreed signal, but there are Jurchen barbarians on the south bank of the Yellow River?

Not to mention, there are not only Jurchen barbarians on the south bank of the Yellow River, but also all Jurchen cavalry, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, and the Jurchen iron cavalry went straight to the rear of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, facing the sudden arrival of the Jurchen cavalry, it was like seeing a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, and many Great Song soldiers were cut to the ground without coming back. The rear was in chaos, and the Jurchens in the north were very resolute in forcibly crossing the Yellow River, and suddenly tens of thousands of Song soldiers and horses fell into a dilemma. No one understood what was going on, how could the Jurchen cavalry appear on the south bank of the Yellow River? Under the ravages of the cavalry, the entire Song army camp on the south bank became a pot of porridge, and the end could not take care of each other, and the Dazhai on the south bank was also not guaranteed, and the Jurchens rushed ashore and moved closer to the direction where the cavalry was. Faced with this situation, Liu Guangshi was in a hurry like thunder, and if he couldn't retreat, if he retreated further, it would be Tokyo Bianliang City. He Liu is very utilitarian, but he still retains a trace of dignity, as long as he is a man, he can't let the Jurchens go to Bianliang, and the Jurchen iron hooves went to Bianliang City, what a blow to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. The hinterland of the Central Plains. The flowery royal capital of Bianliang City suffered. If there is no guarantee of peace for the people here. Where else is there in the Great Song Dynasty that is peaceful?

There was a breath in his heart, Liu Guangshi ordered everyone to shrink their defenses, and all of them concentrated in Dazhai on the south bank, Liu Guangshi also went out, didn't the Jurchen barbarians go to Bianliang wholeheartedly, then Lao Tzu led people to fight behind the Jurchen barbarians, and if he had the ability, he would not look back, and he would be unlucky to sleep in the end. Not to mention. Liu Guangshi's move really gave Wanyan Zongwang a headache, no matter what, Liu Guangshi still has less than 30,000 troops in his hands, so many people are enough to cause heavy losses to the Jurchen warriors. In order to avoid problems in the future, Wanyan Zongwang issued a death order, and he must wipe out all Liu Guangshi's troops within two days, so as to eliminate the troubles for the army to enter Bianliang City. The Jurchens crossed the Yellow River, but because of Liu Guangshi's impromptu decision, the Jurchens were nailed to death ten miles on the south bank. On the twenty-eighth, before dawn, the commander of the Yifeng battalion of the Great Song Dynasty led more than 6,000 people to launch a fierce attack on the soldiers and horses of Wanyan Zonghan. This time, the Song army came almost with a mortal heart, within half an hour. Unexpectedly, the Jurchens, who were not fully prepared, retreated three miles, and directly vacated a place on the right flank of the camp, Liu Guangshi took this opportunity to lead the army directly into the Chinese army, and rushed towards the Chinese army that had finished Yan Zongwang's battle. For a while, the Jurchens and Song soldiers were entangled together, it can be said that you have me, I have you, this is the effect that Liu Guangshi wants, Lao Tzu does not fight with you head-on, let's fight randomly, see who messes with whom. At this point, Liu Guangshi had no room at all, and Tong Guan of Fengqiu City also led most of the soldiers and horses to give up Fengqiu and join the chaotic battle.

Twenty-eight days of chaotic fighting, after the end of the two sides truce, a few casualties, Wanyan Zongwang almost a mouthful of old blood sprayed on the table, a day of chaos more than 4,000 damage, this is simply greater than the loss of attacking a fortified city, although the Song soldiers also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, but you must know that this is the hinterland of the Central Plains. In this land, the Song soldiers can afford it, but the Jurchen warriors can't afford it. Wan Yan Gao is also at a loss, and several men in the Wan Yan family in the handsome tent are silent, and their faces are not very good-looking. originally thought that he could swallow Bianliang City in one go, but who would have thought that Liu Guangshi, the defeated general, would suddenly want to change people, and think of a way to play hand-to-hand combat with the Jurchen warriors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best way to deal with the current situation? If it continues to be consumed like this, it will not be beneficial to us at all, and the attitude of Zhao Yougong of the Dingguo Army is incomprehensible, if this person really waves his troops to block the back road of our army, then we will be finished" Wanyan Zongwang's tone was heavy, in addition to the problem of the Dingguo Army, there was another problem he didn't say, that is, Murong Fu of Liaodong. Judging from the recent news, Murong Fu is bent on conceiving the Goryeo people, based on Zhenhai Mansion, Murong Fu has gradually developed southward, and now occupies most of Goryeo, and it seems that the Goryeo royal family has also shown signs of submission recently, which is not a good phenomenon.

In short, Dajin Kingdom really can't be delayed any longer, now it's a little more dangerous, especially that Zhao Yougong, this bastard is simply a vicious wolf king, once he shows his fangs, he will be bloodthirsty.

Wanyan Zonghan raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth to say something, but it can be seen that Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongbi didn't speak, and he closed his mouth again. Wanyan Zongwang knew what this clan brother was worried about, so he stretched out his hand and said comfortingly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, at this time, you still care about what to do, no matter what you say, Ben Khan will forgive you without sin." ”

After getting Wanyan Zongwang's assurance, Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice, "King, I don't know if you still remember how the minister defeated Yangwu City, let's do it again, this time it will not advance but retreat, if the Han people come tomorrow, we will all retreat to the north and withdraw to Baima Yanjin by boat." ”

As soon as Wanyan Zonghan said this, Wanyan Zongbi immediately became angry, pointed at Wanyan Zonghan and scolded, "What do you say, do you think that the Yellow River crossing is the same as Yangwu City, you go back, you can come back again, this king has worked hard to open up the main road, if you retreat this time, the Han people have defense, how can you fight back?" ”

If you don't finish Yan Zongbi and scold Yan Zonghan, it's really Yan Zonghan's idea is too scary, and finally cross the Yellow River and then retreat, that is, Yan Zonghan, you want to change someone, and Yan Zongbi will cut it down with a knife. Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly raised his hand and reprimanded, "Fourth, don't hurry up and sit down, they are all their own brothers, and they will make trouble and make people laugh." ”

Wanyan Zongwang felt that Wanyan Zonghan's idea couldn't be so simple, obviously there were some things that had not been said yet, and waited for Wanyan Zongbi to sit down sullenly. Fang just spoke. "Brother. Let's go on, why go back, and how to cross the Yellow River after that. ”

Wanyan Zonghan had to sigh secretly, although Wanyan Zongbi was not bad, but his mental nature was too far behind Wanyan Zongbi. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "King, it's not the same as before. It is really hopeless for us to retreat to the Yellow River and then cross the Yellow River at the Baima Ferry, but why do we have to cross the Baima Ferry? Don't forget, because of yesterday's chaotic battle, most of Tong Guan's troops have come here from Fengqiu City, and we will return to the north shore in only two hours to capture Fengqiu City, which is empty of troops. With Fengqiu, the initiative is in our hands, even if Liu Guangshi has the ability to reach the sky. Can you still garrison heavy troops in both places? Not to mention whether the number of Song troops was enough, there was no danger to defend on the south bank of the Yellow River in Fengqiu. It's enough for Liu Guangshi to have a headache. When we cross the Yellow River from Fengqiu, the Han people will inevitably rush to block us, and then our Jurchen warriors will be able to wipe out Liu Guangshi and Tong Guan's army in one battle. ”

After listening to Yan Zonghan's explanation, all the people in the tent thought carefully, and soon Wan Yan Gao nodded lightly towards Wan Yan Zongwang, obviously agreeing with Wan Yan Zonghan's idea. After Yan Zonghan's move, it seemed a bit of a waste of effort, but after being transferred, he once again took the initiative into his own hands. There is one point, Wanyan Zongwang agrees very much, it is never a good thing to always fight with the Han people like this, the Jurchen warriors are still good at fighting in positions, the foot soldiers are brave, the cavalry is sharp, and they can completely defeat the Han people. The idea was made and it was quickly implemented. The next day, in order to drag down the Jurchens, Liu Guangshi repeated the trick, but this time it was just to make people storm the right flank, this time the reaction of the Jurchens was a bit unexpected by Liu Guangshi, they did not confront each other head-on, and retreated directly, especially the army in the middle of the road, the most simply, fled directly to the north, and ruined the white horse Yanjin on the north bank by boat.

The Jurchens ran, running faster than rabbits, standing on the shore, looking at the dilapidated embankment, Liu Guangshi had a feeling like in a dream, what was going on, why did the Jurchens withdraw, they didn't want Bianliang anymore? If the Jurchens are afraid and don't want to attack Bianliang anymore, then Liu Guangshi is a thousand and ten thousand don't believe it, you let the old cat sleep with salted fish on his pillow, can he not be moved? Now that the Jurchen barbarians have come to the Yellow River, Bianliang is in sight, if you let them give up, isn't it equivalent to letting the old cat give up the salted fish in his mouth?

The old cat may also lose the salted fish in his mouth, because mice sometimes appear, but it is absolutely impossible for the Jurchen barbarians to give up the fat in their mouths, because the Dingguo Army, which poses the greatest threat to the Jurchens, has not moved at all, especially on the side of Xijing Yunzhong Mansion, Yelu Dashi is simply as stable as a bronze bell, and Niu Gao in Luoyang City is even more straightforward, directly posting the list text, only protecting Luoyang, not Bianliang, besides, the Dingguo Army just wants to go to Bianliang City, do the officials dare to let it?

What kind of conspiracy are the Jurchens hiding? If you don't know this, you will be very passive next, because no one expected in advance that the Jurchens would retreat north to Baima Yanjin, and no one would have thought that the Jurchens would finally cross the Yellow River and run back again, so the ships on the shore were not destroyed, there were many of them, and now the Jurchens played out like the wind. Do you want to chase? No kidding, Yangwu City's lesson is not deep enough?

Tong Guan was also anxious about the recent events, and the two military commanders sat in the tent and worried, I don't know who mentioned it, "Tong Shumi, since the barbarian has retreated, should we go back to Fengqiu?" ”

Someone's unintentional words immediately made the tent silent, and the needle drop could be heard, almost between breaths, Liu Guangshi jumped up directly, slapped his forehead, and said in great pain, "It's bad, why is someone Liu blind and forgot about Fengqiu City?" ”

Liu Guangshi is like this, Tong Guan not to mention, he didn't say anything, led the army to leave the camp quickly, two hours later, when Tong Guan came to the other side of the Yellow River in Fengqiu, he was greeted by more than 2,000 remnants, just now, Wan Yan Gao led the troops to raid Fengqiu, and the defense of the empty Fengqiu City was only resisted for a moment, and it was captured by the Jurchens. Hearing the news, Tong Guan screamed, his face became extremely pale, and the whole person staggered, fortunately a few personal soldiers supported him, otherwise Tong Shumi would be sitting on the ground at this time.

How depressed Tong Guan is, how angry he is, no one knows. Defending Fengqiu has made a lot of contributions, and now he is counting on Fengqiu City to win him a way back, now it's okay, Fengqiu City has also been lost, and it has been lost so completely. If you want to say hate, you should hate Liu Guangshi. If it weren't for the fact that he ordered the army to rush to the rescue. How could Fengqiu City become empty. After learning of the fall of Fengqiu City. Liu Guangshi also felt that he couldn't stand Tong Guan, and now Fengqiu has become Tong Guan's last straw, just because he lost someone Liu. Liu Guangshi kept saying words to comfort Tong Guan, but only God knows how much effect it has.

As designed by Wanyan Zonghan, it was easy to take Fengqiu, and the Jurchens withdrew to the north bank, but Liu Guangshi found that the situation at this time was even more sad than when the Jurchens crossed the Yellow River. There is no danger to defend in the south of the sealed hill. Where don't you want to Baima Yanjin, the village alone is enough to guard for half a month, and then you want to build a camp on the south bank of the Yellow River in Fengqiu? Will the Jurchens give this time? At the beginning, he relied on Fengqiu City to defend the Yellow River, who would be stupid enough to build a camp on the south bank again.

On the first day of the second month, Wan Yan Gao personally led the troops and crossed the Yellow River from Fengqiu without much effort, and then 5,000 Jurchen iron horsemen slowly crossed the Yellow River crossing, and there was no danger to defend the south bank of the Yellow River, becoming the biggest reliance of the Jurchen army. Now that all the problems have been thrown to Liu Guangshi, can you stop it? If it is not stopped, the army will go directly south to Bianliang City. If you stop it, you will face a decisive battle with the army. How should Liu Guangshi choose, he didn't have a choice at all, Baima Yanjin had no one left, so he decisively ordered a retreat, and integrated nearly 50,000 troops to send Fengqiu to the south.

The ancient Yellow River, how many nationalities have been bred, the turbid river is surging endlessly, all the way to the east, the years are vast, and the heroes do not ask the origin. When standing here, every heroic person is a hero, looking up, a round sun in the sky, stepping on the early spring sun, nearly 100,000 troops gathered on the south bank of Fengqiu. There was almost no prelude, a big battle kicked off, Liu Guangshi sat in the Chinese army, 10,000 troops swooped down on the right flank of the Jurchens, this time the Jurchen Chinese army still retreated, the middle army saw the opportunity, and swooped in to carry out a crazy attack on the two wings of the Jurchen soldiers and horses. In a short period of time, the Song army really dealt a heavy blow to the formation of the Jurchen army, but gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong, the Jurchen formation spread more and more, the Chinese army retreated deeper and deeper, and the two wings gradually spread out, as if a pocket was opened, waiting to tie the mouth of the cloth bag.

Liu Guangshi lives on a horse, and he sees it more clearly, the situation is a little bad, now the left and right flanks of the Jurchens have surrounded the army, if there is a large army from the rear at this time, the 50,000 troops will all be put into their pockets. Sometimes I was afraid of something, and there was a terrible howl, followed by a cavalry, and before the cavalry arrived, the arrows had already flew. The most worrying thing appeared, but Liu Guangshi did not flee, fleeing at this time is to seek his own death, tens of thousands of troops swear to fight to the death, there is hope, escape, can only become a flock of sheep under the cavalry knife.

"The whole army obeys the order, works together to attack the Chinese army, in today's battle, we must be worthy of the father of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a man, and it will be rushed at all!" Liu Guangshi rarely went into battle to kill the enemy in person, this time, he abandoned a qiē, today's decisive battle, if he is not successful, he will become benevolent, with Liu Guangshi to boost morale, the Song army is one of them, and everyone works together to attack the opponent's middle, which brings a lot of pressure to Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang certainly understood Liu Guangshi's intention to do this, it was nothing more than to rely on the most violent and crazy actions to force the Jurchen warriors to get out of the way, so that they could evacuate safely. If you take the initiative to flee, you will only be slaughtered, but if you rely on heroism to open a bloody road, such an escape is the most tenacious escape, because morale has not been lost. This time, it is necessary to wipe out the Han army, as long as these soldiers and horses are finished, there will be few soldiers and horses near Bianliang City to resist, so no matter how great the pressure is, it must be resisted. The onslaught of tens of thousands of people, the Jurchens couldn't stand it, and seeing the formation loosening, Wanyan Zongwang said sharply, "Fourth, you go, give Ben Khan a stand, if anyone dares to take a step back, they will be killed." ”

Wan Yan Zongbi took the order and left, with the addition of Wan Yan Zongbi, the front of the Chinese army was finally a lot more stable, at this time the Jurchen cavalry had rushed in, they continued to divide and strangle, with the cooperation of the Jurchen foot soldiers, the Song army fell piece by piece, and the scene was miserable. Crazy decisive battles, crazy Han people, and crazy Jurchens, in this world and earth, there are no rational people, everyone wants to live, and if they want to live, they have to fight without reservation. The battle line is getting longer and longer; Stretching for several miles, the blood stained the earth red, gathered into a river, and slowly flowed into the surging Yellow River. This mother river once again witnessed how human beings slaughtered, gave birth to life, and then watched life die here.

The nerves of all the soldiers are tightly tensed, at this time, whoever is deflated first will be finished, the battle lasted from the time to the evening, no one ate, no rest, Wan Yan Zongbi had already stared at Liu Guangshi, after the pressure of the Chinese army laughed, he opened his bow and arrows, and with a buzz, Liu Guangshi fell off the horse in response, fortunately, he was only shot in the shoulder, there was no major danger to life, and the soldiers fought hard to snatch Liu Guangshi back, at this time the situation on the battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Song army, and the soldiers dragged Liu Guangshi back, The angry Liu Guangshi scolded wildly, "Let go, you let go of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hasn't lost yet!" ”

"Dashuai, don't carry it hard, the defeat is decided, it's better to save your life, Bianliang still has to rely on Dashuai to defend it!" The soldiers, you say a word, anyway, I don't dare Liu Guangshi say anything, just protect him and flee, the same is true for Tong Guan at this time, the difference is that Tong Guan took the initiative to escape. There is a way to stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, if your life is lost here, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and now Zhao Huan has obviously accepted him a little, at this time, he is still thinking, is he not a fool?

Wanyan Zongwang was always paying attention to the shape on the battlefield, when he saw Liu Guangshi and Tong Guan retreating, he smiled, even the main general was already like this, it seems that the Song army's mind has reached the edge, with a wave of his hand, the cavalry took the initiative to get out of the way, and even shouted "Liu Shuai is dead, Tong Shumi has run away", as this voice continued to spread, the morale that had persisted for several hours finally collapsed. If there is a road, it is necessary to escape, and the Song army began to flee along the road left by the Jurchens.

To the north or to the south, there is no point in running, it is good to run, but the result is often the opposite of what is expected, and when the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty began to flee, the cavalry showed the sharpest fangs, it turned out that from the beginning of the end of Yan Gao did not pounce on all the cavalry, at this time the nearly 3,000 cavalry who had rested for a long time dispersed, chasing the Song army is all the way to slash. There was no north and south, no east and west, and the panicked Song army walked step by step towards the abyss of death, and when the night came, the war also came to an end.

In the first battle of February in the second year of Jingkang, more than 50,000 defenders in the Yellow River area of the Great Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses, in addition to more than 45,000 people killed on the spot, more than 2,000 people were missing, and more than 6,000 remnants of soldiers escaped, while the Jurchens won a complete victory, and after paying 5,000 casualties, they completely solved the last trace of threat lying in the north of Bianliang City.

Let's go south, what's so scary, Song Jiang? Liu Che? Can these soldiers and horses stop it?

Looking at the south, Wanyan Zongwang was full of pride, when he left Bianliang City, he made an oath, and now it is finally completed, he Wanyan Zongwang is back, this time he wants to set foot on the land of Bianliang with a lofty attitude.

Jing Kang shame, not far away, the Great Song Dynasty catastrophe, either perishing, or Phoenix Nirvana.

When the remnants of the army along the Yellow River fled to the vicinity of Bianliang, the news of the defeat came, and the impact on Bianliang City can be imagined. But for ordinary people, it is tantamount to experiencing a catastrophe. They also want to run, it is best to go to Jiangnan and Guangnan to avoid this disaster, but ordinary people have lived in Bianliang City for generations, and all their family businesses are here, how can they live if they leave Bianliang and go elsewhere? The people of Bianliang City just couldn't understand why tens of thousands of soldiers and horses couldn't win every time they fought with foreign races? Many people have begun to wonder if the Great Song Dynasty was really a bad country, and it should be forgotten here?

As the commander of the army, Liu Guangshi escaped, but after a long bumpy journey, he was seriously injured, and coupled with his anger, the whole person became a little broken, at least for now, Zhao Huan can't count on Liu Guangshi. (To be continued......)
