Chapter 481: The Way of the Thief World is in place
He Jin, the general of Dashun Guoyi, stood on a small hill in the north of Weichuan, and there were more than 1,000 embarrassed Shun soldiers around him.
The 20,000 soldiers he brought with him were all the first batch of people gathered after King Chuang returned to Henan, and almost sixty percent of them were veterans scattered in Henan when the displaced people entered Henan.
It is said that such a scale and strength should be led by generals of the level of Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, and Gao Yigong, but King Chuang still handed over this unit to him. This is actually a dilemma, the threat in the direction of Kaifeng is possible, and the field forces of the Ming in the north are real.
Shun's main force must be used to encircle and annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops led by the governor Hou Sui, but it cannot but guard against the possible attack of Shandong soldiers and horses.
Therefore, send a qualified general Guo Yi to come here to guard, and leave a strong enough force, if the guerrilla Yuan Shizhong in northern Henan is ready to take advantage of the Shunming war, this army will defeat the Shandong soldiers and horses, at least to block, waiting for the army to return to the division.
Guo Yi's general He Jin knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and although he felt regretful that he could not participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate Hou Sui's army and achieve meritorious service, he also knew that his defense in this direction was also a guarantee of victory.
And King Chuang personally promised that after this battle, He Jin will become a general, at least in Shaanxi has a piece of territory he guards, and the return of the Shun army to Shaanxi is already a sure fact, and all the generals under King Chuang are pondering the return of their clothes to their hometowns, and the scenery in front of the villagers and elders.
At present, there are only five generals, and there are still a few who are above He Jin in terms of qualifications and merits, but King Chuang gave him such a promise, which is enough for He Jin to be stationed here for defense.
For this result. He Jin is quite happy, and the defense task is too simple for getting the land seal reward and reward.
Yuan Shizhong, the small Yuan battalion opposite, claimed to be the three heroes with Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and he also had hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands, but his combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning at all, but the rabble was extremely illegal to restrain the soldiers and horses, and he fled with the army. The whole army collapsed, and when he arrived at Guide, there were less than 100 people left, and you could see how good he was.
Although Kaifeng City has Yuan Shizhong and Jia Dashan together more than 10,000 Shandong soldiers and horses, most of these soldiers and horses are local soldiers in Henan, and they are gathered by the old department of the two. What's more, Kaifeng City is a long way away from Weichuan, and if there is any trouble, someone here will definitely get the news. And take precautions in time.
No matter how bad it is, even in the worst state, Kaifeng is about the same distance from Weichuan and Xiangcheng is about the same distance from Weichuan, and the main force of the Shun army led by King Chuang can also give support.
General Guo Yi He Jin not only took all aspects into consideration, but also did not dare to relax. Every day, he ran to various battalions, supervised the defense, arranged scouts to go out, and inquired about the situation around Kaifeng.
It seems like a last resort. Complete anomaly, but it's still like this......
Guoyi's general He Jin wanted to cry without tears on this mountain, and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses from Shandong suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was the direct subordinate troops of the Duke of Qi, He Jin also understood that his 20,000 soldiers and horses had no chance of winning, but this battle had to have a process, to engage, fight, and then rout, this is the normal procedure.
Nearly 40,000 Shandong soldiers and horses suddenly passed through the Wei clan and went straight to Weichuan. appeared in front of him, and the two powerful generals and several lieutenants under him all led the troops to mutiny.
However, the positions of these mutinous officers are all in critical positions, and in the face of such a fierce enemy, even if they are not in critical positions, it is a big trouble, not to mention that they are so accurate.
The defense line that more than 20,000 Shun troops spent nearly a month building collapsed in an instant as soon as they engaged, and He Jin understood. Why did Tanma come back and say that it was quiet. Why did the Shandong army come to their own place, but they didn't find any traces?
In fact. Even Li Meng and the others didn't expect such a complete collapse, and the 20,000-strong army became a plate of scattered sand in less than two hours.
Jia Dashan, the head of the Dedu Division, led a regiment of the township soldiers of the headquarters, and with the cooperation of those armed militia groups in the south of Kaifeng Fu, they made a detour to Changge and set up a defense.
Originally, this defense was to intercept He Jin's large rout, so that the Shun army in the area of Xiangcheng in Xuzhou would not know the news too early, but Jia Dashan, who was preparing to fight a hard battle, found himself extremely relaxed, and He Jinbu, the general of the Shun army Guoyi, who was originally estimated to be very tenacious, collapsed so completely.
The reason why the old foundation of the Shun army is valued is not because of their combat achievements, but because they have rich experience on the battlefield, have experienced many battles, and are accustomed to seeing blood and death.
With such experience, you will be resilient on the battlefield, you will reasonably distribute your physical strength, you will cooperate with your companions, know how to see the opportunities on the battlefield, observe the wind direction on the battlefield, and know what kind of things to do at what time.
At this level, these core soldiers can also bring their companions to fight together, which is the so-called combat effectiveness, and the important role of veterans.
In the deduction of the Jiaozhou battalion officer corps, they all thought that He Jin's 20,000 soldiers and horses were a difficult bone to gnaw, otherwise, the Lingshan Commercial Bank and the Shandong Salt Gang under the jurisdiction of the Inventory Division would not have spent a lot of effort to buy He Jin, the general in the army and horses.
Almost a quarter of the soldiers and horses were in battle against the water, and the entire army collapsed directly, and the soldiers did not run in the direction of Xuzhou, which can still be called a retreat, and the meaning of regrouping, so that everyone must be cautious, and they must be afraid of being bitten back in the process of pursuing or attacking.
But those companions turned against the water, and the army formation of the Shandong soldiers and horses unfolded, and when the three-pounder cannon was used to shoot before the charge, the artillery exploded, and the entire Shun army began to disintegrate, turning into a mass of scattered sand, and almost sixty percent of the remaining soldiers and horses scattered in all directions.
The rest of the men launched a suicidal attack on the solid mountainous Jiaozhou battalion formation. And then what didn't die was also running around in all directions to survive, and the only troops He Jin could gather were the more than 1,000 personal soldiers around him, looking at the chaos around him, he really wanted to cry without tears.
What is happening now, even Li Meng felt incredible, but Yuan Shizhong, who accompanied the army, said a few words: "This army of displaced people has no foundation, and Li Chuang rode into Henan from the eighteenth of Yubelly Mountain." It's just that for about three years, it has been a smooth victory, and the soldiers have suffered any setbacks. ”
In fact, Yuan Shizhong's words were just a few points, in the battle between the Shun army and the Ming army, they were full of resilience, and often dragged down the Ming army to achieve the final victory, and the 20,000 led by the Guoyi general He Jin were all strong pawns, how could it collapse so easily.
The more the veteran of the Shun army. The more they participated in the battle of Vortex that year, the more they were shocked by the record of being chopped melons and vegetables and killing nearly 100,000.
Knowing that there were soldiers and horses in front of Yuan Shizhong, it was not a decent Shandong army, and He Jinbu's mind was quite stable, after all, the Shun army was still armed with local wealthy clans such as Xiao Yuan Ying and Li Zhenhai in Henan. They are all victorious records, and they are old brothers with each other, and they have faith in each other.
Moreover, these officers and soldiers never felt that there would be any threat to Kaifeng City, after all, there was no sign or news coming......
Wait until the army of the Jiaozhou battalion suddenly appeared in front of this force. The psychological shock can be imagined, and what I saw was Li Meng's handsome banner, knowing that it was the big insect in Shandong, everyone panicked, and the Shun army may not have the confidence to fight the Shandong soldiers and horses when there are many people, not to mention that seeing the Jiaozhou battalion at this time is a huge advantage.
Extremely suddenly, the absolute superiority of the enemy appeared, and then the old brothers, who relied on each other, suddenly counter-bombed the camp. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Shun army realized that they had nothing to fear, and they were so close to facing defeat.
The superposition of various circumstances has caused the current situation, and the landlords and gentry in the west of Kaifeng Mansion fled in large numbers to live around Kaifeng City.
Their relatives and friends were all in the same place, either tortured and killed by the Shun army, or hid in the mountains to gather people to protect themselves. These landlords and armed militias hated the Shun army. There is a deep feud in the sea of blood, plus the army of the Duke of Qi is here. Everyone wants to show one or two in front of Li Meng, win the glory and wealth of the future, and spare no effort in the battle, desperately moving forward, even if there are scattered Shun troops gathered together, in a vain attempt to fight again, they are also defeated by these red-eyed and fierce militia groups, these militia groups are also merciless, and the Shun soldiers who surrendered were also directly killed.
Speaking of Shandong soldiers and horses, it was just a formation and a few shots, this victory was really simple and abnormal.
He Jin, the general of Guoyi who was trapped on the hill, also did not care about urging the soldiers to dig fortifications and form a formation to guard against the next wave of attacks by the Shandong soldiers and horses under the mountain.
It has reached such a point, the result is already defeated, what else to guard against, it is nothing more than early death and late death, He Jin looked at the direction of Xiangcheng, hoping that there would be soldiers who ran out to ventilate and report the news, so that King Chuang knew the news, he was completely desperate.
When I woke up this morning, I was still full of confidence, but after a few hours, the situation had reached such a desperate state, which was really incredible.
"General He, what are we rebelling for, it's not for gold, silver, wine and meat, we can live happily without being bullied for a lifetime, the Duke of Qi has given a lot more than the prince of Chuang, let's go down!!"
"General He, the third son of the little third son also raised troops with you from Shaanxi to survive, if it weren't for your kindness, the third son would not have survived today, and he would not be able to be this mighty general, but we can't beat the heavenly army of Shandong, the Duke of Qi is benevolent and righteous, give us a way to live, General He, take refuge in the Duke of Qi, and the future is not inferior to that of King Chuang!"
Hearing these words, they were all subordinate generals that He Jin was familiar with, and he didn't even have the strength to get angry, He Jin could see that there were people around him who were constantly secretly looking back, and knew that the following persuasion voice was very convincing, not that the Shun army had a bright future, and that it was about to collapse tomorrow, why did those promising mighty generals and lieutenants surrender when they said they surrendered, and they were all General He Jin's cronies.
These people sit in a high position, and they can understand that they have all descended, what are we still doing here to the death, can we still resist the attack of the Jiaozhou battalion with these thousand people.
"General He, Lord Guogong has an order. As long as you lay down your arms, surrender immediately, and immediately follow the title of General of the Canadian Staff Department, and the headquarters will be reorganized into three regiments, which can guard a mansion in Henan. ”
The title of general, He Jin knows what position it is, but the reorganization of the third regiment is very confused, as for this town guarding a mansion. That's a great promise, and it's temptingly tight.
"General He, you still have half an hour, if you don't make a decision, my Jiaozhou battalion will attack!"
The sound of persuasion one after another immediately stopped, and a team of Shandong soldiers began to step forward, and now the sky is still cloudy and there is no rain. But the ground is still muddy.
He Jin on the mountain could see the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion under the mountain putting wooden planks and straw under the gun wheels, dragging the artillery to move towards this side, and the gap between them could be seen in this little thing, if it was a Shun army, this weather would not be able to pull out the artillery to attack. But Shandong soldiers and horses can.
It is unlikely that the thousands of people around him want to rush down, although they take advantage of a condescending advantage, they may have beaten the Shandong soldiers below.
Looking at the more than 1,000 pro-soldiers, some people kept looking back at themselves. With an expectant expression on his face, Guoyi's general He Jin knew that these of his most hardcore soldiers had no will to fight, and since the other party had made the conditions for surrender, it was better to surrender than to die here.
He Jin was originally holding a knife and preparing for battle, but when he saw the appearance of his own soldiers, he suddenly felt that all his fighting spirit and fighting spirit were gone. From the Shaanxi official rebellion to the present, it seems to be a joke, thinking that I can follow King Chuang to fight this flowery world, and worship the prime minister, who would have thought that in the end it would be empty.
Thinking of this, He Jin had no strength at all, the knife in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he actually showed a smile on his face when he was tense all the time, and said to the subordinates in front of him:
"Come down. This battle has come to this point. Let's fight again, and if we fight again, we will be sent to death. After selling his life for so many years, he is worthy of himself and the king of Chuang......"
Suddenly, when the master of his family said such a thing, everyone was quite stunned, especially those in the front team who had not heard this whispered word, but still relied on the leader of He Jin's near land, and everyone didn't care about the Shandong soldiers and horses approaching from the mountain, and they all looked at He Jin with surprise on their faces.
Guo Yi General He Jin saw everyone looking over, smiled and waved his hand, and said:
"Quickly drop your weapons and go down and descend, I heard that whether you are a soldier or a citizen in Shandong, it is a rule of peaceful years, and it is not better to go there than now. ”
With He Jin's loyalty to King Chuang, it was shocking to say these words suddenly, his soldiers knew that what He Jin said was not true, and if he continued to fight, he would die, and there was still a way to survive if he surrendered, and the choice between life and death was still easy to decide.
Such a sudden collapse and defeat, and such a humiliating siege and surrender, every soldier of the Shun army felt unwilling and humiliated from the heart, but there was no way, and it could only be so, the landed soldiers couldn't help but cry on the spot, dropped their weapons, put their hands on their heads according to the requirements of the mountain, and went down to surrender.
Things have come to this point, and He Jin, the chief general of the first army, has no one to pay attention to, and several personal guards who want to be with him are also bombarded by He Jin.
The hill bag is actually not high, the top and bottom are clear, there is no chance of resistance, and the three-pound run under the mountain directly hits He Jin's position.
He Jin's last strength walked down from the mountain, and his own soldiers and horses went over to accept the surrendered soldiers, and the nearby landlords and squires were now ordered to go to the side of the Dedu Sijia Mountain to garrison, and those who also wanted to go to Xiangcheng and Jiaxian to join the army of King Chuang to report the news, naturally did not have to be polite.
There is no surplus of these people, whether they go to the field to be the tuntian household that will never turn over, or they are selected to be soldiers to fight, they are all excellent human resources, and they can't be wasted so easily, so Yuan Shizhong was arranged to escort these people back to Kaifeng City.
Although the weather was gloomy, Li Meng could still see the movements of He Jin on the mountain when he rode on the horse, as if this He Jin was also looking over here on the mountain.
Li Meng's mood is a little complicated, this He Jin may be a very famous figure in history, but he does not have the name of this person in his limited historical knowledge in modern times, maybe he has no history of his own, there is another ending, and now it has changed, and history has changed because of himself.
There will be more of this historical celebrity to come. Because of his own appearance, end his life early and change the fate of his life.
Li Meng, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly smiled and beckoned to He Jin on the mountain, the generals and soldiers on the side didn't know the meaning of their own marshal's move, everyone kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
In fact, at this time, Li Meng felt quite high-spirited. The heroes of the world are about to be in charge, and life and death are decided by themselves, shouldn't the husband be like this?
Guo Yi's general He Jin didn't see the man under Shuai's banner rushing to recruit him, he couldn't see anything at this distance, he could only see Shuai's banner, surrounded by elite horses.
I heard that this Qi Guogong is very young, and I don't know how he can do it in less than ten years at this age. But it's none of my business.
Seeing that the pro-soldiers on the mountain had all walked down the hill, He Jin straightened out his clothes and armor and turned to the west, which was the direction of Xiangcheng and Jiaxian, where King Chuang and Brother Shunjun were.
I thought that I couldn't survive farming back then. followed the rebellion of King Chuang, killing officials, and didn't think much about it at that time, but he opened a big household and took out food to fill his belly, but he didn't expect the situation to get bigger and bigger. From Shaanxi to Shanxi, and from Shanxi to Henan, rampant all over the world, extremely happy. was scattered in Tongguan, and he stayed in Henan to defend it, thinking that it should be like this, who would have thought that King Chuang would come back from the side of Yubelly Mountain and re-establish the banner.
Just a few years of hard work. King Chuang has established Dashun, seeing that the world is in hand, everyone is the founding father, the glory and wealth are inexhaustible, when the soil is begging for food, where do you think there will be today.
Just this morning, I thought it would be smooth sailing, a few hours later. It wasn't dark yet. Everything just vanished, and it turned out to be a sweet dream.
"This thief ...... the world"
He Jin muttered in a low voice. Put the knife around your neck and pull hard.
He Jin, the general of Guoyi stationed in Weichuan, committed suicide in defeat, and the 20,000 strong soldiers of the Shun army were defeated or surrendered, and after this battle, the main force of the Shun army in the area of Jiaxian County was already open in the east.
And Li Mengqin, the Duke of Qi, led the Jiaozhou battalion army of 35,000, and did not stop after breaking He Jinbu, and led the army straight forward, too Changge, and approached Xiangcheng quickly through Xuzhou.
The rain began to rise again, and the march of the Jiaozhou battalion with heavy weapons was also extremely difficult, but this force of soldiers and horses was firmly approaching the main force of the Shun army without flinching, and the landlord militia who had formed villages in the mountains along the way to protect themselves, and the landlords and gentry who had lived here and later moved to the Kaifeng area were mobilized, using all the forces they could use to assist the army in advance, and to ensure that the news of the march was not leaked.
In fact, in such weather, and in the case of such a big war in the Jiaxian area, the people have long been scattered and fled, and as for those horse scouts, under the absolute strength of Shandong and the local militia and the advantage of the local snakes, the role played is also equal to zero.
In the towns of Wadian and Yangbu near Runing Mansion and Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili, the soldiers and horses of the Shun army deployed there were in a panic, and tens of thousands of Shandong soldiers and horses appeared in Shenqiu Town, which bordered Kaifeng Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, and easily defeated the Shun army garrison over there, and moved in the direction of Runing Mansion City, while Wadian, Yangbu and other towns were on this necessary road.
The Shun army was not wary of the two Jiaozhou battalion troops in the south and south of the country, first, because they judged that the main direction of these two troops was to face all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and second, because there was no extra strength to target these troops.
The Jiaozhou battalion has always been in a very quiet state and Li Mengdi is low-key, so that Li Zicheng is determined to gamble so once, eat the Ming army led by the governor Hou Sui, he can calmly recuperate or use all his strength to deal with Shandong, but nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, this time he was wrong.
The elite of the Shun army led by Guoyi generals Liu Fangliang and Liu Tichun were fighting to the death with the Ming army led by Gao Jie, the general soldier of Yansui, in the southern area of Jiaxian.
On the twelfth day of September, the defenders of the city saw a large force of cavalry coming from the north at noon, and they hurriedly closed the city gate and waited at the head of the city.
Until he saw the big flag with red letters on a black background, and the blood-red word "Li" was in the center of the black flag......
