Chapter 53: War and Peace [4000 Words]

With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the 30,000 Jin army was divided into two parts, the front and rear, most of which slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and a small part of the iron cavalry poked out from the left and right like pincers, outflanking the two ribs of the Song army.

This is not only for procrastination, but also for temptation.

However, the reaction of the 'Song Army' to this was completely unexpected by the Jin Army - in the case of thousands of iron cavalry outflanking, the 'Song Army' actually gave up the advantage of holding on to the spot, but instead pulled out the camp and chased after it unhurriedly!

This is a taboo for soldiers, on the plain where there is no danger to defend, the infantry must rely on a neat military formation if they want to fight against the cavalry, otherwise once the cavalry finds a gap to launch a surprise attack, the troops composed of pure infantry will have no power to return to the sky.

It seems that such a distorted and deformed military formation in the process of moving will inevitably be full of loopholes, and in the eyes of any qualified cavalry general, it is like a piece of fat that can move, and there is no reason to let it go!

Wan Yanchang, the vanguard of the Jin Army, also thought so, so he did not hesitate to make a move with the iron pestle in his hand, and the dozens of guards around him immediately accelerated, leading the three thousand cavalry on the left side at a sixty-degree angle and stabbing obliquely at the soft underbelly of the 'Song Army'.

Liu Yanzong on the right was only half a beat slower than him.

On the opposite side, the main force of the Jin army, which was still slowly retreating just now, had also stopped, putting on a posture that it could be killed back at any time, once the Song army was in chaos, it would be a catastrophe immediately!

The situation seemed to be reversed in an instant, but in the face of the indomitable assault of the six thousand iron cavalry, the 'Song army' did not have much panic, and the soldiers on both sides set up a sparse and uneven defensive formation.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yanzong felt a little chill inexplicably in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, but at this time, the momentum of the iron cavalry under his command had been completed, and it was absolutely impossible to change it, and he could also pray that this ominous premonition was just his own illusion.

Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps......

Ran until about fifty paces, only to see hundreds of arrows sparsely shot on the opposite side, Liu Yanzong waved his gun to separate the two, only to feel that there was not much strength to speak of, and his heart suddenly became a lot more steady-it seems that he is really too worried, with such a sparse two-five eyes archery, it is impossible for the opposite side to be an elite soldier!

At this moment, I heard a sudden shout from the opposite formation, and then thousands of things with wooden handles and iron shells were thrown out and scattered between 30 meters and 50 meters in front of the formation.

What is this?

Boom ~ Boom Boom......

Without waiting for Liu Yanzong to think about it, he only heard a loud bang, which exploded countless flames, and the shrapnel shot down with the smoke and dust.

In this wave alone, hundreds of people were killed!

But this is not the most fatal, the most troublesome thing is that many horses are frightened and crazy under the sound of explosions and fire, whether it is suddenly stopping their steps, or changing direction in panic, it is a great disaster for the cavalry in the group charge.

By the time all this had subsided, the number of casualties was approaching a thousand, and the speed of the raid had inevitably slowed down - but at this moment, a second round of wooden-handled grenades was thrown from the opposite formation!

Boom, boom, boom......

After the two rounds of explosions, more than half of the 3,000 iron cavalry under Liu Yanzong had been killed or wounded, and no army could withstand such casualties, even the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, which dominated the world!

So less than thirty meters away from the Song army, the Jin Guotie cavalry quickly completed the transformation from a fearless charge to a rout.

"Rush!"

"Duck and chicken!"

β€œ??!”

At the same time, more than 2,000 people also rushed out of the 'Song Army' formation, all of them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they rushed up with a squeak......

In the battle, the 6,000 iron cavalry of the Jin Army could only escape back less than 2,000, plus the number of dead and wounded under the tiger squat cannon before, the number of dead and wounded has exceeded 6,000, and the pioneer general Wan Yanchang died in the chaos.

This is a heavy blow that the Jin army has never suffered during the months of its southern invasion!

And after this battle, Wanyan Zonghan finally understood that the enemy in front of him could not be regarded as common sense, so he had to lead the army to retreat slowly, and at the same time carefully make various temptations, and strive to find out the details of the 'Song army' on the opposite side as soon as possible.

This retreat is a full fifteen miles away.

Seeing that the Jin army's camp was not far ahead, the 'Song army' stopped unhurriedly, and then under the nose of the Jin army, the camp was built in an orderly manner - this is not only Chiguoguo's provocation and contempt, but also a threat that the Jin army cannot bear!

Once the enemy set up a camp so close to the camp, the Jin army was afraid that it would be difficult to sleep.

Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to mobilize nearly 10,000 'kidnapping horses' who were good at riding and archery, and harassed them from a distance, not seeking to kill or injure the enemy, but only to slow down the progress of the opponent's construction of the camp.

Originally, according to his estimates, that kind of thunderous thing could throw more than forty paces at most, and it did not pose a threat to the cavalry archery troops who were shooting from afar.

Who knew that after the opposite side set up a formation, there was an additional weapon that was a hundred paces away, only to hear a bang bang like a burst of beans, countless iron sand lightning shot out, and the horse team sent out to harass suffered heavy losses when they landed.

Occasionally, there are more big packages flying out, and then there is an earth-shattering explosion, the smoke and dust of the shock are filled with flying sand and rocks, regardless of whether it can blow up people, the nearby military horses are frightened and scurry, even if the riding skills are superb people can not be stopped!

Therefore, after only this round, the Jin army lost more than 1,000 iron cavalry.

β€”β€”The dividing line inside and outside the campβ€”β€”

Jin Jun, it's messed up!

Cai Yan stood on top of the float, looking at the suddenly noisy camp like a vegetable market, his heart was both excited and frightened, and he was excited that the rampant Jin Army finally met his opponent and suffered hardship; The fear is that once the Jin people are completely provoked, they are very likely to lose their lives!

Compared with the two, there is more fear.

However, where did the soldiers and horses come from that could make the Jin people feel like a great enemy? Is it the main force of the Western Army that has come over, or is it ......

"Don...... Colt ......"

At this time, I heard a murmur from the float, the sound was extremely weak, but it fell in Cai Ying's ears like thunder, and he was so frightened that his body was crooked to one side, and he almost fell off the car!

Just when he didn't know how to face his 'beloved wife', the corner of his eye swept away, but he found that Emperor Maude hadn't really woken up, but was just shrunk into a ball by the cold wind, and unconsciously burst out of a dream.

Cai Yan put his mind at ease, and saw that the guard was busy checking the people who came in and out, so he secretly picked up a few pieces of clothes and carefully covered them on Emperor Maode - as for helping her put on her clothes again, Cai Yan really didn't have the guts.

At this moment, Zhao Fujin was much more stable, but the wives and daughters of those ministers were not treated like this, one by one they were stripped of their leather robes, standing naked in the wind and shivering, and they didn't know whether to pray that those Jin people would continue to mess around, or hope that they would quickly introduce themselves into the camp.

In this way, I don't know how long I was entangled, I suddenly saw a group of people and horses break out of the main camp of the Jin army, and came straight here, and pointed to the float with a horsewhip from a distance, and shouted and asked: "The Song dog on the car, is it the Song State horse?!" ”

When Cai Yan heard this, he hurriedly picked up the clothes covering his wife with the tips of his boots, and let the beautiful jade-like delicate body be exposed to the cold wind, then jumped out of the car, and said with a smile on his face: "The villain is Cai Ying, the captain of the horse, I don't know what the adults ......."

Syllable~

A horsewhip was viciously whipped on Cai Ying's face, and even if he left a bloody lead, Cai Yan screamed, but he didn't even dare to cover his face, and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy from the ground, but he heard the man shout in stiff Chinese: "What's the wordiness, keep up!" ”

So saying, he turned his horse's head around and went to the camp again.

Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, feeling that the general didn't seem to let himself bring the women in together, so he tentatively walked forward a few steps alone, and seeing that no one came forward to question, he hurriedly threw off his legs and chased after him.

I followed the general all the way to the Jin army marshal's tent, and when I entered the door, I saw several Song officials in purple robes and jade belts kneeling on the ground side by side.

With such a majestic brute beard, how can the delicate body of the emperor stand it?

Thinking sadly in his heart, Cai Yan didn't dare to show half a point, and he didn't wait for anyone to 'point', so he obediently knelt behind the envoys.

Wanyan Zongwang glanced at him a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is ready, this king is too lazy to go around in circles with you - now there is a group of Song soldiers who don't know what to do, and they actually came to be the enemy of my Dajin Kingdom, which is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

As he spoke, he slapped the case on the table, only to make the wine jug and wine glass jump high.

The Song ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly sent their farts one after another, and praised Jin Jun as a heavenly soldier and general, and the pigs and dogs that Song Jun said were not as good as wolf hearts and dog lungs.

Zong Wang listened to a few words randomly, and then said in a deep voice: "But after all, I have already signed a letter of state for peace talks with your emperor, and it is not good to slaughter his soldiers and horses again-in this way, you wait to go to his camp and let the Song generals on the opposite side quickly abandon their weapons and surrender, otherwise I will take the initiative of your Song State to break the contract, first send people into the city to kill Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son, and then slaughter the people of this city!" ”

But it turned out that after suffering losses one after another, Wanyan Zongwang and Zonghan had to hope to borrow the 'majesty' of the Great Song Dynasty to subdue each other, so they found these envoys - as for Wang Shangshu, as early as the first encounter, he was shot to death by Wanyan Chang 'accidentally'.

The envoys were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly made promises to persuade the leader of the Song army to surrender obediently with his incorruptible tongue and the identity of the imperial court envoy.

Only Cai Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and reported respectfully: "King! If there is only a group of thieves on the other side with an army, we can naturally suppress it, but if it is an army gathered by King Kang......"

"King Kang?"

Wanyan Zongwang frowned, leaned forward slightly, and said, "What's the matter with this King Kang?" Come quickly and with this king! ”

Cai Yan naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the story that King Kang took the initiative to ask for peace talks with Jin Jun, but he didn't know where to go after leaving Bianliang, and finally figured out: "There were rumors in Beijing that King Kang went to Hebei to recruit troops, so the villain would guess like this." ”

Hearing this, Yan Zongwang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he squinted at Cai Yan and asked, "If it's really King Nakang, can't you persuade him to surrender?" ”

"This ......"

Cai Yan said: "After all, we are just courtiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade ......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and secretly looked at Yan Zongwang's expression, and then he said again: "If there are royal relatives who are friendly with him, I can't say that I can persuade one or two." ”

"Royalty?"

Wanyan Zongwang chewed these words twice in his mouth, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said teasingly: "The royal family in your mouth, isn't it Emperor Namaode?" ”

After being overwhelmed by Wanyan Zongwang's thoughts, Cai Yan hurriedly grabbed the ground with his head in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "King! The villain is just talking nonsense, if the king is reluctant to be clumsy, he will find two princes from the city to come forward, and it will be the same! ”

"Hahaha......"

Wanyan Zongwang laughed and stood up, grabbed the wine jug and poured a few sips, threw it aside, and said calmly: "But just a woman, why is this king reluctant?" If you can say that King Nakang is descended, it is nothing to send all the women who are offering today! ”

After a slight pause, Wanyan Zongwang said categorically: "Okay, you will accompany Emperor Na Mao to go on a journey and tell King Kang Zhao Gou that if he is willing to abandon his arms and surrender before noon tomorrow, this king will make the decision for him and let him replace Zhao Huan as the emperor of the Song Kingdom!" ”

Those Song ministers naturally panicked again when they heard this, but they didn't dare to disobey Wanyan Zongwang's intentions, so they comforted themselves: Anyway, it is the Zhao family, and there is no difference between King Kang's accession to the throne and Qinzong's reign.

But it was said that Cai Yan saw that Zongwang had moved Zongwang and temporarily avoided the green hat crisis, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and he was thinking about how to explain it to Emperor Maode, so as not to turn against the husband and wife, so he saw Yan Zongwang and pointed at him again, and sneered: "You stay, the others can leave - if King Nakang still refuses to surrender before noon tomorrow, this king will kill you first!" ”

"Huh?!"

Cai Yan suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom, if he had known this, where would he say more?

But at this time, it was too late to regret it, so he had to report in a trembling voice: "King, I drank the spring wine, and now I am still sleeping, if there is no villain by the side to remind ......"

"It's okay!"

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said categorically: "You go and wake her up now, and then explain the matter clearly - if she can't persuade King Kang to surrender, don't say it's you, the horse, it's Zhao Gou, Zhao Huan's father and son in the city, and I will also capture the sacrifice flag!" ”
