Chapter 708: Desperate Survival

"It's back! It's back! Yang Yan, who had been standing at the door of the tent for a long time, suddenly called. He kept lifting the curtain until Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei, two bloody people covered in blood, came in.

The appearance of the two of them shocked the generals in the tent, and Zhang Xian asked in surprise: "You two...... Call the medical officer! Li Chengwei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need! It's all a little injury! Seeing that he was gasping for breath, it seemed that he had experienced a big war!

Yang Zaixing spat on the ground, his left hand was almost unable to lift, and he was also panting like a cow and said: "King, Jin Jun is dead!" Xu Wei's face also flashed with surprise: "What do you say?" "Li and I commanded the two, led the Xuanfeng horse army and the sudden fire to ride out, and within thirty miles, we collided with a large force of cavalry! Several times more than me! We were afraid that they would go straight to the city of Taiyuan, so we joined the army. Yang Zaixing shook his head as he spoke.

Li Chengwei took over the conversation at this time: "The Jurchens fought too hard!" After seven or eight rounds of melee, our army suffered a lot of losses, but who knows, the main force of the Jin army also followed the pressure! In desperation, Yang and I had no choice but to withdraw back! Please, the king, to condemn you! Xu Wei got up and said to the two of them: "It's not your fault! You just have to go and stop the attack, buy time for the army to withdraw, and the bloody battle is meritorious, what is the crime? Hurry up and go to the medical officer! Yang Commander, your hand must be cured immediately, if it is too late, go and stop it! Xu Wei took a deep breath and said loudly: "It seems that it is the main force of the Jin Army!" ”

"That means that the Khitans are really defeated?" , Zhang Xian then asked.

Xu Wei shook his head: "I'm afraid that's true." Otherwise, how could the Jin army send so many soldiers and horses to save Taiyuan? "Damn! What an unwillingness! The city is broken before it is seen! Yang Yan was indignant.

"It's useless to break!" , Zhang Xian also shook his head. "As soon as you broke the city with your front foot, the Jin army followed with your back foot. We have 100,000 horses, most of them are rebels, and if we go out to fight, "there is no certainty of victory; If the materials are insufficient to drill into the city, and the supplies have not yet been delivered, the Liangxing army pacified by the king is on the way to Taiyuan, which is tantamount to a desperate situation. At that time, the Jin army will check the gates. One card, we will be trapped in Taiyuan. ”

Yang Yan glanced at him: "I still don't know?" It's so heartbroken that the fat in the mouth also flies to the fuck! "Although most of us are rebels, how do the Jin army know? He saw that I was so strong that I didn't dare to attack easily! One of the commanders said at this point.

Xu Wei waved his hand: "No, Taiyuan is the capital of Hedong, the most important thing, the Jin people will do their best to save it." If you are a million-strong soldier, he will come and hit him. Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei will suffer a fierce battle, which shows that the Jurchens risked their lives to save Taiyuan. And they must have also spied on our army attacking the city, so they will do whatever it takes to arch forward! ”

"Exactly! Now that the enemy is unclear, it is a safe plan to withdraw to Yuci! Zhang Xian responded.

Xu Wei sat down after returning to the handsome case, and said to the generals: "That's it, Taiyuan doesn't want to think about it first, tonight, our army will take advantage of the night to pull out the camp and go south, and then let's watch the situation when we are stationed in Yuci." Be careful, don't have a half-point difference. ”

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

Who are you who led the army south to save Taiyuan? That's right, it is the Taishi of the Dajin Kingdom, who leads the three provinces, and the marshal Liang Wang Wushu. He took the Jurchen army, the Bohai Navy, the Khitan army, and even the Tatars to the south, riding 80,000 south, which was almost the limit of the Jin State's ability to recruit troops in a hurry!

Wushu was still in Chitang Pass, and he knew that Taiyuan was under the onslaught of the Western army.

Then he sent elite cavalry and raided Baijing Village, which was regarded as a greeting to Xu Wei, I am here!

When his cavalry was blocked by Yang Zaixing, Wushu was a little flustered, estimating that Taiyuan might not be able to hold on. Then he sent all his cavalry out with one heart, and the only order was to rush to Taiyuan City desperately! Halfway through, Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei led the elite horse army to the two armies to fight, and Jin Cai relied on superior forces and did not take Song Qi in his eyes at all. But after a few rounds, they realized that they had hit a hard stubble. If it weren't for the main force arching forward, the Song cavalry might not have retreated.

When Yang Zaixing and Li Chengwei led the army to retreat, Wushu did not dare to go forward for a while. Because he heard that Xu Wei besieged Taiyuan City, it would take at least about 100,000 men and horses to do it. Although, before this, Wushu had never fought with Xu Wei seriously, or with the Western Army, but he didn't dare to be careless and didn't dare to get too close. Then in the north of Taiyuan "three crossings. "Settle down and send out rangers to reconnoitre. After learning that the Song army had stopped attacking the city, he was a little relieved. But at this time, the army was still stationed outside the city of Taiyuan, isolated from internal and external news, so that he could not know the situation in the city.

At night, the soldiers of all ethnic groups of the Jin Army set up tents and lit bonfires, and the firelight actually reflected half of the sky as if it were day! These soldiers who had just fought a bloody battle with the Liao army were really tired, but they were helpless, the western army had all hit Taiyuan, which was equivalent to almost hitting the doorstep, even if they fought but did not want their lives, Taiyuan was also saved!

In a huge tent, there were generals of the Jurchen, Bohai, Khitan, Han, Tatar and other ethnic groups, and they all obeyed the orders of one person, that is, the man in his forties, who was sitting at the top, with a burly figure, a thick beard, and eyes like torches. He was clad in iron armor, with a hat off his head, revealing the top of his bare head, and large gold rings on his ears showed his superhuman status. Looking forward to it, the majesty is revealed, and people dare not look directly.

This is the actual ruler of the Dajin Kingdom today, the fourth son of the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Wushu, and the Han name Zongbi. He sat alone, with dozens of generals standing on his pen, and although they belonged to different races, none of them spoke.

Wushu's mood at this time can be described as extremely complicated. Before the war, he predicted the direction of Xu Wei's troops, most likely the Central Plains, Henan Mansion, but he really crossed the Yellow River and entered Hedong! And the speed of the march is surprising! In a short period of time, it went straight to the city of Taiyuan! What shocked him the most was that Han Chang, the pacification envoy of Dajin Hedong and the head of all the soldiers and horses, surrendered!

In the past, in Huazhou, the second brother really shouldn't let him go!

As soon as the army arrived, although Xu Hu'er stopped holding the city, he was still stationed outside Taiyuan City. He is a strong soldier and a strong horse, and he will definitely come to fight me! In previous years, we faced the Song Army, and the benefits of the Ma Army were indomitable! Now, Xu Hu'er's cavalry has become a climate, and this battle must be careful, and there is no room for loss! The words of the vultures were cold.

Of course, there is no room for error! These 80,000 foot cavalry is the main force of the Dajin Kingdom once it is defeated! The consequences will be catastrophic! If you don't do it, you have to go back to your hometown in the Northeast!

All the generals said yes, but they never understood, how could we fall to this step in the blink of an eye? Just two or three years ago, we were still sending troops south every time, as if we had slept and people were knocking on the door! And it's Xu Wei again! How strong is this guy? How many men and horses are there in the Western Army?

"You all know the importance of Taiyuan, but I would like to remind you again. Taiyuan can't be lost! Taiyuan is lost, and Hedong is finished! As soon as Hedong was finished, he got closer and said, threatening Yanyun! In the long run, the Central Plains, Shandong, and Hebei will all be affected, and then our Dajin Kingdom will be passive! No matter who you are in the future, do your best! But if you can defeat Hu'er, the court will never hesitate to reward you! The voice of the vultures grew louder and louder.

At this time, an old man took over the conversation: "Xu Wei is the tiger minister of the world, and his reputation is violent in the north and south. This time, he sent troops into Hedong to cooperate with the Khitans. Now, although our army has withdrawn to the south, everything still has to be cautious and careful. Wushu seemed to attach great importance to this person and said sideways: "Mr. has seen Xu Wei in the past, in your opinion, will he retreat?" ”

This old man is Han Fang, he not only saw Xu Wei in Tokyo back then, but was even imprisoned in Xu Wei's Mu Yugang military camp for a period of time. Later, because of the peace talks, he was returned.

"Hard to say!" , Han Fang said. "Xu Wei recently recovered the whole of Shaanxi, and his army is strong.

Now it has gone down to dozens of counties in Hedong to hit the important town of Taiyuan, and the momentum is as great as the sky. He is a victorious army, and I am afraid that he will not give up easily. ”

Hearing this, Wushu's face became more and more gloomy. This battle is nothing to the Song army. A defeat is a battle, but for the Jurchens, to put it seriously, this is a battle related to the fortunes of the country! sacrificed a Western Xia to settle a head, if you can't beat Xu Hu'er, the tiger, all the previous things are in vain!

As soon as he thought of this, he said loudly: "Our army is not far from Taiyuan, I believe that Xu Wei will not dare to attack the city again, and he is not in a hurry to fight, so he will observe first." Two days, think again! ”

Thinking about the beginning of the Jin Army's southern invasion, it was really like a tiger! If that's the case, watch a fart! Tomorrow morning, go directly to the Song camp! Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this is not yet thirty years, it is feng shui in turns"......

Wushu wanted to observe for a day or two, but the Western Army was stunned and didn't give him this opportunity. Early the next morning, before dawn, he received a report that the Song army had withdrawn overnight!

When Wushu heard it, he shouted that he was fooled! Wake up like a dream! It turns out that the Purple Tiger is a paper tiger this time! He's just bluffing! Otherwise, with his name as the Purple Golden Tiger, and with the prestige that he Xu Jiu has fought hard for twenty years, how could he take half a step back? Don't just call the door!

His departure just shows that his heart is empty! As soon as he received the news, he immediately made a decision and sent six thousand iron horsemen to chase after him madly in the south! The army followed!

But not long after the iron cavalry was dispatched, his main force had only traveled more than ten miles, and the cavalry sent out came back. According to the report, the Song army withdrew to Yuci, and the cavalry pursued it at full speed, but was ambushed less than twenty miles away from Yuci, and when they retreated, they were chased by enemy cavalry and lost more than 1,000 people.

This made Wushu unable to touch Xu Wei's pulse. If he is bluffing, this half-way ambush is trying to lure the enemy? Is he playing with fiction and reality?

The Song army didn't know the reality of the Jin army, and the Jin army didn't know the reality of the Song army. Then he ordered to return to Taiyuan to observe the changes of the times.

When I rode back to Taiyuan with 80,000 steps, I really sighed when I saw the ruined Taiyuan City. They are all people who have been in battle for a long time, and they have done a lot of things to attack the city, but they have never seen such a tragic situation! What kind of onslaught can make a fortified city like Taiyuan become like this?

The vultures approached the city, and the defenders of the city were busy removing the barriers and reopening the gates. Although they can't get close for the time being, the defenders are still standing at the head of the city, thundering with joy! This is human nature, they originally thought that they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that at the last moment, reinforcements came! Sure enough, it is the road to the sky! Wanyan appeased us and really didn't lie to us!

Wan Yanliang was standing behind the city gate cave at this time, and there were many soldiers around him, all cheering at him. Enjoying the cheers of the soldiers, he broke out in a cold sweat! Because he himself knows best that the so-called "one more day of support, one more hope, and reinforcements will come soon" a few days ago are simply nonsense from his words. He had absolutely no idea when reinforcements would come, or even if they would come!

But things in this world are so weird, and reinforcements are really coming!

After the boulder that sealed the door was removed, he hurriedly led a group of civil and military officials of the Hedong Pacification Division to welcome him out of the city! Far away, he saw the fourth uncle riding a tall horse! This look looked at this eldest grandson who was completely beautiful and bone-beaten, and almost burst into tears! This is seeing loved ones!

Wushu also saw his nephew, got off his horse, and strode forward!

"Nephew to meet uncle!" , Wan Yan Liang really paid a big salute to pay homage. Wushu bent his front legs, clasped his hands together, looked each other up and down, and sighed: "Okay! Good! ”

Wushu is the fourth son of Aguta, and Wanyan Liang's father, Wanyan Zonggan, is the eldest son of Agutashu, so Wanyanliang is his own nephew. This time he led the troops to fight against the Liao army, and Wan Yan Liang took the initiative to invite Ying to sit in Taiyuan, which made him impressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, I am the third generation of the Yan family, and there is no shortage of people who are resolute and resolute!

At that moment, the civil and military forces of Hedong also came to see him, and Wanyan Liang welcomed the vultures into the city. Along the way, Wushu insisted on his nephew's hand, and said to him: "You can hold Taiyuan, but it is a great achievement!" ”

"Defending Taiyuan is a great achievement" is true. But at this time, Wushu didn't know the inside story, only that his nephew led the soldiers and horses in Hedong, held on to the lonely city, and held on until he galloped south to help.

Wan Yanliang was silent. All the way to the festival hall, the generals of Hedong and Yanyun were lined up from inside the festival hall to outside the hall, which was really a full meeting!

Wushu sat on the main seat, and Wan Yan Liang was listed in the next servant, followed by Sanzhongyi. Seeing another salute, Wushu said in a loud voice: "The country's troubled autumn Liao forced Yanyun to invade Yanyun, and was retreated by our army: Xu Weitengsheng entrenched in Guanlong in the north and south, thinking that he was in all directions, but he blocked Taiyuan and failed to break the city. This is the work of the soldiers of Hedong, in the future, when the heavens listen, please seal for you! Hedong General Zuo listened happily and thanked him in unison. Wushu soothed a few more words, and then asked: "I'm in Yanyun first, I don't know the situation in Hedong, Di Gu Nai, you can talk to me in detail." ”

Di Gu Nai, the Jurchen name of Wan Yan Liang, listened to his uncle's inquiry, but feared that someone would preempt him, and immediately replied: "Yes! Since his nephew rushed to Hedong on the order of the Holy Lord, he first took dozens of horsemen out of Yanjing to Hedong and collected thousands of soldiers and horses from Xin Zhuzhou. Arrived in Taiyuan, Xu Wei did not arrive. The nephew thought that Xu Wei fought all the way to Taiyuan in the north, presumably the division was sleepy and lacking strength, so he raised troops to Yuci to block it. Speaking of this, he deliberately stopped, looked at the color of the vulture, and saw that his uncle was just listening carefully, and then continued.

"However, the Xu guards are strong and strong, and there are many people, and our army is still defeated under the battle. Then he retreated to Taiyuan and held on to the city! Xu Wei's army besieged the city, first bombarding the city with a fire robe for two days, destroying many city defenses! Then, the army will attack! The soldiers in the city were loyal and brave, and fought back, although they were endangered several times, but after all, they still resisted until the army came! Among them, it is the most difficult to dissan the old generals of Hedong such as Fusan Zhongyi, and the contribution is indispensable! He preempted the generals of Hedong, spoke first, and took the initiative to ask for credit for the servants and others, trying to block everyone's mouths and cover up the section that led to the defeat for him. Even if you can't cover it up, I hope you don't say it too badly.

After listening to this, Wushu looked at the servants and said with a smile: "Your grandfather has been in the army for two generations, and he has military exploits. This time to protect Taiyuan, the real contribution is indispensable! But he didn't see any joy, but he said: "This depends on the soldiers' service, and the generals will not dare to take credit." There is not a single mention of Wan Yan Liang.

The vultures looked approving, it seemed that this was a material that could be made.

"Today, Xu Wei's army retreats to Yuci, the motive is unknown, don't slack off! This time, the eastern half of the river fell, and when you think about recovery! Wait, go, Digunai and Uzi stay. Wushu waved his hand.

The generals resigned, leaving only Yan Liang and the servants in the hall. Wushu asked him to sit down, and asked about Song Jun's reality.

Wan Yanliang was in the formation except for Yuci when he blocked the attack, and after entering Taiyuan, he has always been the commander of the front line, so how does he know? I had to let the servants scatter the loyalty.

"Back to King Liang, when the Song army besieged the city, it was surrounded by four sides, and the company camps were everywhere, and the momentum was quite terrifying! This morning, after learning that the Song army had withdrawn, the last general sent people to check on the other party's camp. It is estimated that the strength of the Song army should not be less than 100,000! ", replied Susan Zhongyi.

Although it is impossible to know exactly the number of opponents, there are some rules and regulations for the army to camp, such as how many military villages have been set up, how many tents have been set up in each village, and how many stove pits have been dug by the newcomers. With these clues, you can roughly judge the rough strength of the opponent.

The judgment of servant dispersion and loyalty is actually very close to the actual situation. It's just that how does he know that among the 100,000 horses, how many are regular soldiers and how many are righteous soldiers?

Wushu listened, silent. The Western Army is the most capable force in the Song Army, and if there are 100,000 Western Army, it is a force that people dare not underestimate. But then again, Xu Wei has 100,000 male soldiers in hand, why did he retreat to Yuci? You can just come and play against yourself! With his ability, fame, and military strength, he will not be afraid of himself, right? Could it be that there is a fake here? For the time being, it is really not advisable to act rashly, send more people to spy on it, and you must always know it before you can do it.
