Chapter 411: Ningzhou City
However, although the Jurchen cavalry has been surrounded, they are unusually tenacious. People kept dying, but the rest were still resisting.
There are less than 1,000 Jurchen cavalry of 2,000 left, but none of them surrendered, and those Jurchens are still roaring madly, charging forward frantically.
If it was a Khitan soldier or a Song soldier, in this case, I am afraid that they would have surrendered a long time ago, and they would never resist to such a point.
Yang Xiong had already retreated from the Jurchen cavalry at this moment, and countless crossbowmen began to shoot wildly, and suddenly a large number of the Jurchen cavalry fell, and there were less than 500 of them left!
But these 500 men rushed towards the Yangsan army, and together with the Yangsan army, the crossbowmen could not continue to shoot at this time, unless they wanted to hurt their own people.
Yang Xiong rushed in again and killed a group of Jurchens, and the Goryeo soldiers next to him cheered loudly.
"Yang Xiong is so powerful!" The Goryeo division commander and the regiment commander who spoke before got together again, and the regiment commander said.
"Yes! This man is a hero of the Han people, if he wasn't so powerful, he wouldn't have become the commander of the Second Legion! We Koreans, there is no one who can compare to him. The division commander said.
"If only I could kill him." The head of the regiment said.
"It's hard, it's almost impossible." The division commander shook his head and said.
The head of the regiment watched Yang Xiong's Jurchen rampant, he felt that his head was a little numb, this person was so powerful that he began to doubt this time about the restoration operation. He didn't know if the plan would succeed, and if it didn't, they would be dead.
"Jin Yuan, stop talking, kill the enemy quickly. Otherwise, we will be dismissed if we are passive and slack. The division commander suddenly pushed the regiment commander and said.
"Yes." The regiment commander hurriedly said, and he also rushed forward at this moment.
Liangshan's military discipline is extremely strict, if you don't charge and don't move forward during the war, it will be a great sin, so the regiment commander and division commander don't dare to slack off at this moment, so they can only rush forward crazily.
The number of Jurchen cavalry is getting smaller and smaller, and now there are less than 100 people left, but none of them have surrendered. To tell the truth, at this point, these Goryeo officers and soldiers were a little terrified, and such a stubborn enemy was really terrifying.
In order to knock down these 2,000 Jurchen cavalry, the Goryeo also suffered a lot of casualties, and there were at least more than 1,000 dead alone, not counting those who were seriously injured.
The 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Hua Rong have not participated in the war, but Hua Rong has been observing the situation on the battlefield.
"Yang Xiong is fierce, but his ability to lead troops is still a little insufficient." Hua Rong said secretly.
If he were to deal with these Jurchen cavalry, he would inevitably use a large number of crossbowmen and set up ambushes everywhere, and finally destroy them at a small cost and in an easy way. If it were him, the losses in this battle would definitely not exceed 500 people.
However, Yang Xiong's character is like this, he likes to personally lead the troops to charge, which is very different from Hua Rong.
"Yang Xiong is only a general after all, and it is difficult to become a handsome talent. However, such a fierce general is extremely rare. Shaking her head slightly, Hua Rong muttered.
In addition to these 2,000 cavalry, the Jurchens also had an annex army composed of 8,000 foreigners, but the performance of these annexes was much worse than that of the Jurchen cavalry.
The pass gate of the Great Wall has also been opened, and Yang Zhi has also rushed out with his army.
After a little resistance, the annexed troops fell to their knees and surrendered.
When the sky was dark, the battle was finally over, and there were corpses all over the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and the whole sky was filled with blood. Countless vultures and eagles were constantly circling in the sky, and there was a terrible birdsong.
"Yang Xiong, go. Let's go to Ningzhou. Hua Rong finally came to Yang Xiong's side at this moment and said with a smile.
They have destroyed 10,000 enemies in this battle, and some of them must have fled, and those people will surely get the word out here. If they could reach Ningzhou one day earlier, the less prepared Ningzhou would be, and it would be much easier to conquer that city.
At that moment, Hua Rong and Yang Xiong led the soldiers of the 100,000 Second Legion towards Ningzhou City.
At the same time as they set off, countless Goryeo surnames also came out of the Great Wall of thousands of miles and headed in the direction of Ningzhou City.
These surnames are responsible for carrying grain and grass, siege equipment, etc., they are all poor peasants in Liangshanben, and most of their children are in the army, so everyone works hard, and none of them lags behind.
I saw countless stone throwers being transported out, and countless ballistas being transported out, and many wheelbarrows carrying grain and grass, but the reason ahead was very difficult, there was snow everywhere, and it was difficult for these wheelbarrows to move forward when they got there, and then they would need to rely entirely on manpower to carry these things.
At a glance, there are dense figures everywhere, and there are mountains and fields, and no one knows how many.
The Golden Vulture had already been tied up at this moment and guarded by several Liangshan soldiers. He was shocked when he saw so many soldiers, so many surnames.
Before, he didn't take the Han and Goryeo people seriously, but after this battle, his concept has changed a lot. He was deeply worried about his people, and now his people did not have the slightest vigilance against the Han and Goryeo people, if the Han and Goryeo people really rushed into the territory of the Jin State, then the Jin Kingdom would definitely suffer a lot of losses.
"No, I must escape!" Wanyan Zongbi said secretly.
At this time, these soldiers pushed Wanyan Zongbi forward, and under the walls of the Great Wall for thousands of miles, he saw Wang Yue.
"You're Wanyan Zongbi?" Wang Yue looked at him with an unusually interested gaze and said with a smile.
"Yes, who are you?" Wan Yan Zongbi said sharply.
"My name is Wang Yue." Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Wang Yue? What the? You are the King of Liang! Wanyan Zongbi was taken aback, and then began to look at Wang Yue seriously.
Wang Yue also looked at him, but Wang Yue was slightly disappointed, the Jurchen young man in front of him had nothing else except for his fierce eyes. This famous historical figure in later generations does not look much different from the rest of the Jurchens. He remembered Yue Fei, Yue Fei was also a teenager, but this time he made a great contribution, that was a real genius, much stronger than Wanyan Zongbi.
At that moment, Wang Yue waved his hand and asked people to stay with Yan Zongbi.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Wanyan Zongbi kept struggling while yelling at Wang Yue.
"We want to exterminate the Jurchens." Wang Yue said with a smile.
"You are dreaming! You still don't know how powerful our Jurchens are! Do you think that if you defeat me, you can defeat us Jurchens? Wanyan Zongbi has been pulled away, but the sound is still coming continuously.
Wang Yue had already ignored Yan Zongbi, but said to Yang Zhi beside him: "Is Han Shizhong out?" ”
Yang Zhidao: "It's already out, they went out from the gate on the east side, and now they may have gone far." ”
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Very good, we will also come out." Keep up with them. ”
He led Yang Zhi and Luan Tingyu's first army and second army to keep up with the second army formed by the Koreans, of course, the march speed was much slower than that of the second army, and they mainly played an aid role this time.
In fact, the First Army and the Second Army were also extremely powerful, and this was the army established by Liangshan early. However, the first and second armies are still mostly infantry, and the number of cavalry is very small, and the combined number of cavalry of the two armies is less than 10,000.
The army marched forward mightily, and Wang Yue's eyes were very confident. With so many troops mobilized this time, it will definitely teach the Jurchens some lessons. Although some Goryeo officers and soldiers had other thoughts, Wang Yue believed that these were nothing, and it was impossible for those people to affect the overall situation.
By the early morning of the next day, the second army led by Hua Rong and Yang Xiong was already not far from Ningzhou City.
The defender of Ningzhou City was a Khitan who surrendered to the Jurchens, and his name was Yelujing. In the early days, this Yelujing was also one of the royal family members of the Khitan people, but he had less and less contact with the royal family, and later was oppressed by the governor, so he led tens of thousands of Khitan troops to surrender to the Jurchens.
After he got the news that a large number of soldiers and horses had come to the vicinity of Ningzhou City, he was extremely surprised.
"The emperor is leading a large army to attack the capital of Liao, who are these? Have you checked it out? "Yelu Jing said.
"General, they are most likely soldiers and horses from Goryeo." A partial general.
"What? Korea? These damn things! Jerujing shouted angrily.
However, although he was angry, he did not take the soldiers and horses of Yangsan from Goryeo into account.
As a Khitan, once the first race in East Asia, he only obeyed the Jurchens, and he has always despised the Han and Goryeo people.
"Tell me to go down and defend the city well! Don't let them break through the walls! Yelujing waved his hand and said.
By the morning of that day, the Second Army had finally arrived in its entirety, along with countless Goryeo surnames.
Yelujing also climbed the city wall at this moment, and when he saw the soldiers scattered all over the mountains below, he was also surprised.
"When did Goryeo have so many soldiers? Looks like I'm going to have to be a little more careful. Yelujing said darkly.
At this time, countless siege machines had been erected, and then thousands of stone throwers began to attack fiercely.
With so many stone throwers, Ningzhou City can't resist it at all!
It must be known that Ningzhou City is only a first-class city on the border between Jin and Goryeo, and neither the original Khitan nor the current Jurchens have taken the Goryeo people seriously, so the thickness and height of the city wall are extremely limited.
In the face of such a fierce attack, the city wall was immediately a little unbearable!
"It's not good, let them attack like this, Ningzhou City will be broken! Looks like I'm going to lead my troops to destroy these Koreans! Someone, assemble your team and get ready to fight! Jerejing said loudly.
