Chapter 4 of the Circle Night Attack on the Golden Camp Battle Opened to recover Kaifeng's hearts and minds
On the night of February 16 in the second year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, the moonlight was abundant that night, and the military horses of the Great Song Dynasty Shandong Road Fan Town combined with the Jinying Guo Yaoshi Department to regain the four walls of Kaifeng City in one fell swoop, and Lu Junyi led 50,000 troops and horses to come out of the east in a dusk, driving dozens of miles in one night, and attacking the Jinying at night.
Just because of the deployment of the Jin army, Guo Yaoshi's headquarters was originally arranged in the easternmost part of the entire Jin army joint camp, and Wanyan Zongwang originally hoped that Guo Yaoshi and other Liao troops would block the front in case of a surprise attack by the army and horses on the Shandong Road. However, because of the killing of the Zhao and Song clans in the Jin camp, it shows that there are spies in the Jin camp, and it is because Zongwang is worried that there are spies in Guo Yaoshi's department, and he is afraid that once the war starts, Guo Yaoshi's department will defect, and the Jin camp will suffer a sudden attack, so he ordered Guo Yaoshi to change his guard to Kaifeng City.
What Zong Wang didn't expect was that Guo Yaoshi's army was all rebellious and internal, and the female thief on Shandong Road actually chose to wave her army to raid on the night of the change of defense, and the Jin army who changed the defense was not even familiar with the barracks and trenches in the defense line.
On the contrary, Lu Junyi's Right Route Army had already obtained the layout of the defense line in his own jurisdiction in the east presented by Guo Yaoshi, and it was clear that the Jin camp was arranged by a night raid, and it was a full moon night, so the assault went extremely smoothly.
Before the start of the raid, Lu Junyi ordered the firearms battalion to launch more than 1,000 thunder rockets into the east camp of the Jin army, blowing up the Jin camp fence, rejecting horses, etc., and then the infantry rushed forward with wooden planks, long ladders and other objects, and set up a passage on the trench, and then Lu Junyi ordered Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Han Tao, and Peng Xi to lead the cavalry to break into the Jin camp. The Jin army was blown up by a rocket, and it was the time of chaos when they were rushed by the cavalry, and they had to retreat.
Under the bright moonlight, the dragoons of the Song army in Liangshan relied on the heavy armor of the horses, wielded heavy knives and heavy axes, and drove back and forth in the Jin camp, although the Jin army had cavalry, but rested at night, most of the military horses were unloaded and saddled, plus a rocket attack, which blew up the horse shed in the camp, and the war horses ran in all directions.
A small number of brave golden soldiers did not wear armor, nor did they need to prepare saddles, only took their blades, and turned on their horses when they saw the frightened horses jumping around in the camp, and then rushed towards the Song army with shouts, but unfortunately, these few brave golden soldiers did not cause any trouble to the Song cavalry, and they were soon killed in the camp by the dragoons of the chain of armored horses.
The dragoons of the Shandong Song army did not hook and loop links, but acted alone, but they were strictly trained, when they charged, they would spontaneously form a team, or three or five horses, or seven or eight horses, they would line up in a row, and the horses would rush forward, and after the formation was disrupted, they would turn back, reorganize the queue, and then continue to charge.
The Jin infantry army could not be stopped, so they could only retreat under the cover of the camp tent, but the dragoons were rampant, and even the camp tent made of cow felt wooden stick support was flattened, and the Jin people could not stop it and had to retreat to the passage leading to the camp in the north from the west.
The passage connected the Jin army to the north of the camp, the Jin people set up a second line of defense here, the deer, the horse, the trench, the sharp wooden piles and other fortifications are still intact, the east camp Jin army defeated and retreated here, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Han Tao, Peng Xi four generals saw the order of the dragoon to stop the pursuit.
At this time, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Li Li, Li Yun, Jiao Ting, Shi Yong, and ten infantry generals have led the infantry to break into the camp, and Cao Zheng, Bai Sheng, Cai Fu, and Cai Qing led the firearms battalion and crossbowmen to catch up, and it was also the general infantry army who came forward and used rockets and grenades to open the way, and then the infantry army swarmed up with planks and long ladders, and the crossbowmen and arrows behind suppressed the Jin army and covered the infantry to set up a passage on the trench.
In this way, when the day dawned, the army and horses on the right side of Lu Junyi's department had broken through more than 30 large and small camps in the east and north of the Jin army, and the Jin army had more than 20,000 casualties and countless losses of grain, grass and equipment. The Song army rescued more than 10,000 captive Han laborers and craftsmen from the tent of the Jin military camp, and rescued more than 3,000 women who were sacrificed in Kaifeng City. The Song army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, most of which were wounded, and it can be said that it was a complete victory.
The Jin army was so vulnerable in this battle, one was that the Song army attacked suddenly, and it was the night when the eastern battalion changed defenses, so it was taken by surprise. The second is that the Song army had already obtained the Jin army's defense map sent by Guo Yaoshi, and was familiar with the deployment of the Jin army, so it was fully prepared. The third is that the moonlight was excellent that night, and the Song army's firearms could play a role, and it was a one-hit success.
After dawn, Lu Junyi ordered all the troops to rest and prepare breakfast, and ordered Bian Xiang, Deng Yuanjue, and Hu Yanzhuo to lead an army each, and set up a formation on the left, center, and right to consolidate the camp of the Jin army, and then occupy the camp of the Jin army to prevent the counterattack of the Jin army. Then Cao Zheng led more than 1,000 lightly injured military horses to escort the seriously injured soldiers and rescued craftsmen, hard laborers, and women back to Dongyang County, where they could be rescued and resettled.
But said that the Jin army, after being attacked last night, Zong Wang quickly got the news, that is, the military horses in Kaifeng City and the east and north camps were attacked, Zong Wang still wanted to lead the army to rescue, but when he went to the gate of the camp, he saw that the east camp was raided by the Song army with firearms, and the fire was soaring, and the news of the defeat of the Jin army continued to come, Zong Han came to persuade him: "The Liangshan female thief reinforcements have arrived, I heard that there are more than 100,000 military horses there, this attack on the camp, she must have gotten the news of the internal should be detailed, insight into the deployment of our army, so it is unwise to go to fight with her at night." It is better to retreat to the western camp for the time being, gather the army and horses, redeploy, and wait until dawn before counterattacking. Now the military horses in Kaifeng City are in danger, and if you want to save them, you must first save the military horses in the city. ”
Zong Wang listened to Zong Han's words, and after the two agreed, they had to order the large battalion of military horses in the east and north to retreat to the western camp, and the western camp army and horses marched out together, stormed Kaifeng City, and wanted to open the city gate and rescue the military horses in the city.
But in Kaifeng City, after the righteous army and the forbidden army in the city, as well as Guo Yaoshi, Yang Ting and the three-way army and horses, they seized the city gate, put down the jack gate, closed the city gates, and the golden soldiers at the head of the city were also wiped out. After reoccupying the city wall, Guo Yaoshi ordered his military horses and Han craftsmen to quickly adjust the direction of sharp weapons such as trebuchets and bed crossbows, and turned to the outside of the city, and the rebels and forbidden troops went to the city together to help defend it.
Outside the city, Zongwang commanded the Jin army to counterattack Kaifeng City, and was violently counterattacked by the trebuchet and bed crossbow at the head of the city. After the only ladders and goose carts were destroyed by trebuchets and bed crossbows, Zong Wang saw that there was no hope of retaking the city, so he had to order the troops to retreat.
At dawn, seeing the retreat of the Jin army outside the city, the head of Kaifeng City cheered, Zhu Tong, Wang Yan, Guo Yaoshi, Yang Ting and the four received Lou Minzhong's 10,000 military horses into the city, and after several military horses converged, a group of soldiers were even more cheering.
After the people of Kaifeng City opened the door after dawn, they found that overnight, Kaifeng City returned to the hands of the Song army, and everyone cried with joy. Last night, the sound of fighting was everywhere, and the people of Kaifeng also said that the Jin army attacked the city at night, and they did not dare to open the door to find out.
After Lou Minzhong and Zhu Tong, Wang Yan, Guo Yaoshi, Yang Ting and Zhu Jiang Qi, they quickly issued the Sanniang edict, and it turned out that Sanniang and Lu Junyi made a plan, that is, after recapturing Kaifeng, they taught Lou Minzhong to lead 10,000 military horses to enter the city first, and all the military horses in the city listened to Lou Minzhong's military orders first.
Wang Yan there, Lou Minzhong showed the rubbings of the blood edict of the two emperors, and the edict of the new monarch Huanhuan to succeed to the throne, as well as the edict of the new monarch appointing Lou Minzhong as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion and the temporary committee to control the military and political affairs in Kaifeng City, and naturally there are also military talismans and letters. These things have already been prepared, and Lou Minzhong brought them into the city to gain a foothold in law first, so that the forbidden army and hundreds of officials in Kaifeng City can obey the order, so as to stabilize the situation in Kaifeng.
Wang Yan read the blood edict of the second emperor and the edict of the new monarch to succeed to the throne, and he no longer hesitated, so he respected the order. Lou Minzhong ordered Wang Yan to still lead the forbidden army, guarding the Kaifeng Imperial City and various government offices and warehouses.
Then Lou Minzhong ordered Guo Yaoshi, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Yang Tinghe to lead the 10,000 military horses he brought and Guo Yaoshi's military horses, a total of more than 30,000 people in the two armies, guarding the gate of Kaifeng on all sides. He also ordered Yang Lin, Wang Ying, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng to lead the righteous soldiers and horses to retreat into the city, acting as patrol troops and horses in the city, maintaining order in the city, and eliminating the Kaifeng Mansion officials and Zhang Bangchang and his group.
After several armies and horses went, Lou Minzhong instructed Mu Hong and Yan Qing to lead more than 1,000 guards and escort them to Kaifeng Mansion together. They were all tied up outside the Kaifeng Mansion, and ordered people to ring gongs to gather the people and come to identify the crimes of these people.
Soon the surging Kaifeng people gathered at the door of the government office, and saw that a few days ago, they also took the officials to loot the people's fat and ointment, and the corrupt officials and evil officials who took their wives and daughters out of the city were tied up and knelt there, and immediately blew up the pot, and the stones and wooden sticks came up together, and before Lou Minzhong had time to ask, those corrupt officials and evil officials were beaten to death by the people who rushed up.
Seeing the chaos of the scene, Mu Hong and Yan Qing hurriedly dispatched military horses to suppress them, and finally separated the people, only to see that the more than 200 corrupt officials and evil officials in the field had all become corpses.
After suppressing the excited people, Lou Minzhong came to the venue and said loudly: "Today, under the order of the new monarch, the military order of the Taishi is here, and this official is ordered to recover Kaifeng City. Now that Kaifeng has been recovered, the new monarch's edict is under the order, and the corrupt officials who have been falsely ordered by the Jin people to harm the people and kidnap the people before the strict investigation should be investigated, and the officials please rest assured that the officials will not let go of a wicked person, but they will not wronged a good person. Therefore, if there is a grievance, please come to report and respond to the lawsuit, and this official will naturally send people here to arrest and arrest these criminals. But please also ask all the villagers and people not to lynch again, after the official asks here, he will give the new monarch and punish these people canonically! ”
Lou Minzhong said it reasonably, and all the people cried loudly when they heard the words, and they all bowed to the ground, thanking the new monarch for his kindness. Then Lou Minzhong said: "Kaifeng City has been repeatedly looted, the new monarch and Hu Taishi know that the people in the city are in distress, so today there will be a large number of food, clothing and other useful things from Dongluo County into the city, and later please come to the government according to the household registration to receive food and be served!" "When the city was in trouble for a long time, many of the people's families had already run out of food, and when they heard this, they all cheered and jumped for joy, and everyone wept with joy, and they all praised the kindness of the new king and the great master Hu.
