Chapter 163: Victory in sight

Qiu's northern support for the Jin army is the second eldest son of the Jin Kingdom who is not pressing the night hair! Outside Xiaojing, he set up a large camp and confronted the two camps of the Song army, intending to start a war today, frustrating the morale of the Song Dynasty, and then sending envoys to the Song Dynasty to make peace. Guo Yaoshi has even roughly drawn up a package of conditions, such as cutting the land of the two rivers, paying Jin a minister, paying tens of millions of coins, sending the clan as a hostage, sending the emperor and his relatives, and removing Xu Shao, He Li, Yao Pingzhong, Xu Wei's official positions, and so on.

In the middle of the night, I received the news. The Yan Song army attacked the grain camp and was menacing. He was not shocked, and the soldiers under the tent were all frightened, and they didn't have time to ask the reason in detail, so they immediately abandoned the camp and sent thousands of iron horsemen to help. The second prince personally mentioned that the division of the tiger and wolf was behind, and they all returned to defense. How do you know that the vanguard cavalry encountered an ambush set by the Song army at twenty-five miles from Qidong County, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not fully bright, with hundreds of dead and wounded. The Song army had already formed a formation and surrounded it with chariots, which was indestructible. Jin Qi made several tentative attacks, but was shot back by the strong bow and giant crossbow. The Jurchen iron horse, brave is brave, but I don't know the reality of the other party. Second, whenever they encounter such a rigorous infantry formation, they do not dare to attack easily. The confrontation between the two armies lasted until the third pole of the day, and the troops did not arrive until 6.

When he saw the battle flag of "Loyal and Brave Xu Qi" in the Song Army's big array, the second prince almost vomited blood! Under the anger, without waiting for the whole army to gather, he has already launched a fierce attack, ordering the soldiers, and those who capture Xu Wei alive or take his rank will be rewarded with five horses! When the Jin army attacked, the Song army fought hard, and both sides were tired divisions. But the Hujie Township Army relied on the strict formation that had been formed. and superior equipment, which inflicted heavy losses on the Jin army at the beginning of the war. Two shocks in quick succession. He couldn't break through the chariot obstacles in front of his formation.

In this robbery of the Jin military grain camp, Xu Shao once reminded his nephew that he must think of all possibilities in advance. Xu Wei did exactly that. But after a thousand calculations, he would never have expected that there would be so much grain and grass in the Jin Army! Originally, according to his pre-war strategy, he didn't have to wait for dawn to destroy the Jin army's grain and grass materials, and the army could retreat to the Jingnan defense area. But until the arrival of the Jin army's forward, there were still three or four out of ten of the grain and grass materials left. Xu Wei considered. If we fail to do our best, this battle will be tantamount to wasting all the previous achievements.

Therefore, an ambush was set up on the one hand, and the burning was continued on the other. This is why there is a melee between the two armies, and dangers are everywhere. After all, the Hujie Township Army is newly trained, and its combat power cannot be compared with the Jin Army that has survived a hundred battles. In the early days, he relied on a strong bow and a hard crossbow to inflict heavy losses on the enemy. The disadvantages of hand-to-hand combat are gradually becoming apparent. The strength of the Jin army was twice as large as its own, first the chariot obstacles were destroyed, and then the spear array was rushed to pieces, and the heavy infantry pressed up to frustrate the enemy's fierce flames for a while. Xu Wei gradually lost his strength. If it weren't for Uncle Zhang's timely arrival and forcing the Jin army to divide his troops and refuse, the consequences would be worrying.

At this time, when he saw a horse army coming to help Xu Wei in the northern army, and was discussing with Guo Yaoshi and others whether to increase the army, this horse army actually attacked him. The second prince was furious, and even if he wanted to mention a teacher in person, he was persuaded by Tart Lazy and Wang Ne. More than 1,000 cavalry were sent to resist the enemy, but after the two armies met, the Song cavalry did not fall behind!

Especially a great general in the Song army. With an iron spear in hand, he broke into the cavalry of the Jin army like a wolf pounced into the sheepfold. Kill everywhere and no one can stop you. The pharmacist and others are discolored. Xiang Gu said: "This person's courage is rare in modern times!" ”

At this moment, Guo Yaoshi suddenly saw that in the great formation of Xu Wei, the cavalry troops hidden on the right flank left the main formation and actually headed north! This madman, didn't he care if he lived or died? His main formation has already revealed chaos, and he dares to move the cavalry that is pressing the formation away! But after all, Pharmacist Guo has been in battle for a long time, and immediately understood Xu Wei's intentions. He's doing it. There are two purposes, one of which is naturally to attack the second prince's army. Second, he wanted to force the frontal Jin army to protect the commander. Even if this goal is not achieved, it will disturb the morale of the Jin army.

But even so, his defeat was decided, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape the end of the division's defeat. Do you want to bite back when you are dying? On second thought, no! Song reinforcements arrived one after another. But there are not many people and horses, the rat pulls the wood inlay, and the big head is still behind! Xu Wei did such a big thing, it must have been instructed by Song Ting, they must have gone through detailed planning and punishment, and they must have been fully prepared! Xu Wei is now disregarding his own safety, commanding the cavalry to come north, not to trap our army, and wait for the army to arrive.

As soon as I thought of this, I already heard Wang Ne's voice.

"Prince Lang! Now my grain and grass have been burned by Xu Wei, and the morale of the army has been greatly affected. At present, although our army has the upper hand, we believe that the strong reinforcements of the Song army are coming soon, and the only way to do this is to retreat

He said in Jurchen language, but the pharmacist did not know what he meant, and urgently asked the person next to him who was proficient in the two languages.

Separated from his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot. His lips were chapped, and his face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black gas, staring at Xu Wei's army, which was already defeated, his eyes were almost dripping blood. Suddenly, he pointed his hand to the sky, gritted his teeth and said: "Today I will capture Xu Wei and trample his corpse with ten thousand horses!" so that there is no blood left! ”

A group of gold generals around him roared like thunder. One after another, Wang Ne was in a hurry! grabbed the second prince's right hand and said loudly: "Prince! Even if our army breaks through Xu Wei's department today and kills him, what good will it do to the overall situation? Xu Wei is just a young tiger in the Great Song Dynasty, its teeth are not sharp, and its claws are not sharp.

It would be unwise for the prince to delay the army because of his personal anger! ”

"Tiger? He blocked me in the Yellow River for five days and nights, and ruined my major event of entering Tokyo. Now that I have burned all my grain and grass, so that tens of thousands of my army have no food for three days, is this still a child? Although its teeth are not sharp, and it is not profitable to burn, but the tiger is said to grow up, and it will eat a thousand me! Such a husband, me! Don't say anything more! Han Li withdrew his hand three times and almost pulled Wang Ne off the horse.

Wang Ne complained bitterly, "I know that the second prince has been so angry with Xu Wei that he can't listen to the advice of his ears." Alas, it is up to man to do the work. The success is in the sky, and the Jurchens go south to conquer with the power of thunder. Invincible all the way. You can win big wins one after another. made the Jurchen warriors arrogant soldiers, and actually gave Xu Wei an opportunity to burn all the military rations. Last year, the Jin army was near the Yellow River, and the grain and grass were not enough, but there were still black beans to satisfy hunger, and now, I am afraid that I can only grasp the mud on the ground and eat it.

For a time, Wang Ne's thoughts were discouraged. I didn't want to say anything more. But I didn't expect that Pharmacist Guo would actually speak at this time.

"Prince Langjun, the ministers think that what Wang Ne said is indeed reasonable. Although Xu Wei has been defeated, most of his soldiers are tenacious, and if they want to slaughter him, it will take half a day, maybe longer. But wait until then. The army of Tokyo must have pounced on them. Our army has been fighting bloody for a long time, and it has become a tired division, even if it defeats the strong reinforcements of the Song army, what can it do? Now there are only three days of rations in the army, and after three days, how can they eat? And Xu Wei is in the way, the morale of the Song army will inevitably be high, and it is not good for me to fight at this time. Therefore, the subordinate suggested that he retreat to Huazhou! ”

Wang Ne was surprised, and when he marched twice, Guo Yaoshi was in the vanguard, and every time he said that the prince rushed and struck, he never had the intention of retreating. It makes so much sense now. I used to look down on him. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly explained the words of the pharmacist to Yu Li.

I didn't listen to it, and I didn't say a word. I only felt a faint pain in my chest, if Han Fang was there; Ann can make me lose this one!

When it was undecided, all the soldiers around him exclaimed, and they were not in a hurry, but the more than 1,000 elite cavalry sent out could not stop the Song army's soldiers, and the general with a long spear was rushing in front of him, and then thousands of cavalry galloped, and then, thousands of horses on the right wing of Xu Wei were also coming, and they were approaching in the blink of an eye!

There are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers around him, and he is not afraid. I was still thinking about delaying it for a while, and it would not be too late to withdraw after Xu Wei was broken. Helplessly, Guo Yaoshi Wang Ne and other civil and military officers tried hard to persuade each other, so even the tart was lazy and advocated the withdrawal of the army immediately. The second prince of Jin Guo clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and looked resentful on his face

Surprise.

"Xu Wei! Xu Wei! Sooner or later, I will capture and kill them! "If you don't look up to the sky and howl, the three armies are moved!

However, it was said that Yang Zaixing single-handedly rushed straight to the Jin army's battle formation, and the net was about to receive the troops, but he saw the Jin army's handsome banner moving northward, and for a while, the Jin army in front of him moved in unison and retreated. The horn suddenly sounded, and the sound spread everywhere! Behind him, there was also a shout from his comrades, telling him not to chase him. But he had risen up to the top, and could not hold on, and pursued after all hosts. But there are those who are caught up, and they die with one shot! The soldiers of the Jin army did not take him seriously, but only retreated. It didn't last long. Now, they actually broke into the formation, stabbed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, and killed all the way to the Chinese army. Only then did I know that something was wrong, so I quickly surrounded it.

"Where is your bird prince? come out and die". Yang Zaixing had already killed a bloody man at this time, and a horse was a bloody horse, and his body had grown up. The hideous-looking, brave woman is also intimidating!

Pharmacist Guo heard the movement behind him in front of him, looked back at it, and was shocked! Is there such a fierce person in the world? I wanted to shoot with a bow, but he broke left and right, and his whereabouts were uncertain. I didn't feel that it was wrong, so I asked urgently. The pharmacist didn't have time to answer, when he suddenly heard a loud roar from the general, and quickly looked back, his expression changed sharply! It turned out that Yang Zaixing didn't find it, but he was eyeing him and was rushing over! Folk jokes say that the courage of military generals often has "taking the rank of general among the ten thousand armies is like taking things from a bag." In a word. That's an exaggeration, and it can be used on this person, and it's really appropriate!

The pharmacist fought all his life, and proclaimed himself the champion of the three armies, and immediately asked the second prince to withdraw quickly, and he took a big knife and turned the horse's head to face the battle! The two took over, and the pharmacist slashed with his knife, and the generals did not dodge, and raised their guns to shoot each other. How do you know that the opponent's arm strength is extremely strong, and the power of this blow will break the pharmacist's knife in two!

Is this still human? Guo Yaoshi was frightened and didn't dare to fight again, and shouted loudly: "Intercept and kill this person!" Kill this person! Before he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head again and galloped away.

Although Zaixing is trapped in the army, there is no fear at all, a gun and iron rod are like a Yin Si life card, those who dare to block will die! The Jurchen soldiers around him saw that he was so brave, and the cavalry of the Song army behind him was in a hurry, and they all had no intention of fighting, so they only cared about retreating. Yang Zaixinge killed more than 20 people, and wanted to chase again, but his body was majestic, his weight was not light, and the war horse was running all the way, and he was already lacking strength, so he couldn't move him. I watched more than 10,000 golden soldiers flee north.

Stopping the war horse and reaching out to touch the blood stain on his face, Yang Zaixing sighed. It's a pity that I can't recognize the second prince of Jin Kingdom, if I bump into it. Capture or kill, but is it not good to save from this evil?

The sound of hooves behind him shook the sky, but it was Zhiyan who led the army to catch up. The soldiers surrounded Zaixing, as if they were seeing ghosts. The signing of the book stepped forward immediately, looked him from head to toe, couldn't hide his surprise, and sighed: "Rejuvenate the true gods!" ”

"Awards! If it weren't for the exhaustion of this horse, I would have chased fifty miles! Yang Zaixing said angrily.

Orihiko has no doubts! Such brave generals are really hard to find in ancient and modern times! After a pause, he asked with a smile: "Zaixing still wants to fight again?" ”

"The golden dog is arrogant, and he can't be slaughtered!" Yang Zaixing gritted his teeth and said.

After hearing this, he waved his knife and pointed south: "Then I'll rush back later!" Kill it".

Yan Zhen obeyed his words, ordered his subordinates to give a good horse, Yang Zaixing stepped up, praised it, and immediately led more than 1,000 horsemen to cover up the killing. Orihiko saw his courage later. I can't help but sigh secretly, getting this brave general is like getting a tiger, but he is under Yao Xiyan.

As the sun sets, the afterglow will be gone. In the vast field, the sound of the golden drum is no longer heard, and the elephant of fighting is no longer seen. Only human corpses and horse corpses abounded, and the blood mixed with the mud was shocking. The Dead. Sleeping, undead, still moaning. The broken military weapons and the military flag on the neck were stubbornly inserted in the dirt, witnessing this tragic fight!

In the battle, the Song and Jin sides invested more than 150,000 troops to start a life-and-death battle in Tokyo! Because of the timely arrival of reinforcements, he was forced to retreat northward, which not only relieved Xu Wei's danger, but also took advantage of the retreat of the Jin army to cover up the killing. The Jurchens lay in wait for 30 miles, with serious casualties, and according to investigations, they have retreated to Huazhou.

Qi County, a small county in Jingdong that has experienced several sieges, the city gate is wide open at this time! The county fathers and elders poured out of the city, and greeted the triumphant king! White bread, beef and mutton, hot soup and wine, everything. All express the people's gratitude and love for the army. When the soldiers of the Hujie Township Army arrived with their tired bodies and covered in blood, they were excited and cheered like thunder! When he saw that the armor of the soldiers was broken, and there were countless people who were shot and arrowed, and even Zhang Xian, the commander of the garrison here, Zhang Zongben, was also seriously injured, this old magistrate called "the loyal and brave division, the Great Wall of the country!" ”

I wanted to meet Xu Wei, the main general of Hujie, but I couldn't find it, and I learned that when the battle situation was dangerous, the soldiers were afraid of Xiao Xu's officials to boost morale, so they went to the front line in person, fought side by side with the soldiers, and suffered more than a dozen wounds without retreating. The operation. There is no one who is not injured in the commander of the army, and Xu Wei's general horn is a friend, kowtowing to the brothers. The commander made Mattei, even his life hanging by a thread, and his life and death were uncertain. It was with this perseverance and strength that he would rather die than retreat that he was able to block the onslaught of the Jurchen Tiger and Wolf Army, and in exchange for the final victory! When the magistrate of Qixian County heard this, he also wept for it. In order to thank the soldiers for fighting bravely and keeping Tokyo safe, the sergeant Zhong of that county donated generously. Funding for the Labor Army. Hearing that Xiao Xu Guanren was injured, those who were proficient in the art of disambiguation in the county gathered in the yamen and asked for diagnosis and treatment.

In the Xuan room, the lights were transparent, and Xu Wei sat at the table, ** upper body, revealing his strong physique. The white torso was covered with wounds. The skin and flesh are turned out, and the blood is flowing, which is unbearable to see. Two medical officers were cleaning his wounds, wrapping them with medicine, and repeatedly reminding him that the officers were patient. But he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

"How's Mattei?" After a long time, he asked.

The two medical officers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and after the film, one of them said: "Commander Ma has been injured too badly and has lost too much blood. ”

His eyes suddenly opened, and the essence shot out, and the man who had survived from the battlefield shouted: "I will do my best to rescue!" Don't slack off. Otherwise. Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law! ”

The two medical officers looked frightened and said yes. After a short time, Xu Wei took his robe and put it on, waved his hand, and said: "There are many wounded brothers in the army, it doesn't matter to me, you go and get busy, work hard." ”

After the medical officer left, Xu Weiqiang stood up on the table. Helplessly, his body was full of trauma, and he was in pain when he moved. When the soldiers saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in a lost voice: "The adults have been injured a lot, and they must not be."

Xu Wei had no choice but to sit down, raise his head to the sky, and let out a long sigh. Today, he knew what it meant to "succeed in one and ten thousand bones" and did his best to attack without anger. The power of the angry teacher is terrifying. After a long time, Hujie practiced for a long time, but after all, it was still far from the Jin army, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties.

"My lord, what's wrong? With such a great achievement, why don't you like it? "The soldiers followed him for a long time. Dare to ask.

Xu Wei didn't answer, but ordered: "You go and see Wu Jiezhang Xian." The injuries were not light. Especially Zhang Zongben, his arrow wound made me worry, alas, I should have gone in person,"

The soldiers were shocked, and hurriedly said: "The commander is so injured, how dare you move lightly?" The villain is going! With that, he hurried out.

He walked away, and Du Feihu's voice sounded outside: "All the commanders, the signing of the book and the prefect Zhang's mansion have arrived!" ”

Before Xu Wei got up, he saw a person dressed in military uniform and walked inside, it was Zheyanzhi! As soon as he came in, he saw Xu Wei struggling to get up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held it down, and said urgently: "Ziang doesn't have to be formal!" ”

The veteran Zhang Shuye who came later also persuaded: "Xu Jiu, rest."

For the two chiefs in front of him, Xu Wei was grateful. If it weren't for their timely reinforcements, the Hujie Township Army would have let the remnants of the Gang not gnaw on the bones. Especially the quality of Zheyan, the second grade of the official residence, the privy councillor! He actually led thousands of iron horsemen and came to the rescue with a large army first, which was no longer purely out of consideration for the overall situation and loyalty to national affairs. and Uncle Zhang, Xu Wei never expected that he would be the first to come to the rescue.
