Chapter 60: The Battle of Jinyang (1)
The rain was heavy, Liu Jiyuan's clothes were already soaked, he and the rain, the whole body trembled, but because he heard the battle ahead, he was excited at the moment, and roared, "The Liu Jiye actually took refuge in the Song people, and also gave me a letter of recruitment, who is the heart, I really raised a white-eyed wolf, come to Liu Jiye's mansion quickly, and detain their families and servants in the prison, I want Liu Jiye to see the fate of betraying me." ”
"Order." When the surrounding forbidden army soldiers heard this, they immediately went to Liu Jiye's mansion.
The ministers of civil and military affairs in mourning clothes present were also shocked, the battle ahead was so erosive, the Privy Council sent several soldiers and horses, all of them were cut off by the Song army, or surrendered to the Song army, or were killed by the Song army, they had done their best, but unfortunately they did not repel the invading Song army.
In these queues, I'm afraid only Guo Wuwei is the one who laughs the most, Guo Wuwei holds back his thoughts, he has other ways at the moment, and he Liu Jiyuan will not make much change at this juncture.
Most of the national funeral was carried out, and Liu Jiyuan had to stop.
At this moment, Liu Jiyuan said to Guo Wuwei, the privy envoy of the Privy Council: "Guo Shuxiang, now that the Song army is detained, the safety of my Jinyang City will be handed over to you, don't let me down."
Guo Wuwei knew that Liu Jiyuan said this, and he arched his hand and said: "This matter is very important, and the old ministers are not strong enough, so they might as well let several ministers do things together."
"This matter will be handed over to Guo Shuxiang, and I am still relieved of this."
"In that case, the old minister obeys the holy order." Guo Wuwei pretended to be sincerely frightened and said.
The national mourning has been suspended, and everyone is doing their part, and now it is still how to defend against foreign enemies.
The forbidden army went to Liu Jiye's mansion, the gate of Liu Jiye's mansion was hidden, and after the Han army rushed in, they found that there was no one in the mansion.
"It's really a hell, no one is there, it is estimated that they fled after learning the news in advance, but judging from this situation, it is obviously premeditated......
"Quick, go to the palace and inform Guo Shuxiang and Your Majesty."
"Yes."
……
In the outer city of Jinyang, tens of thousands of Song troops have slowly approached Fenshui, after a heavy rain, the water level of Fenshui has risen rapidly, and several troops of the Song army have approached Fenshui.
The hidden road, the arrows flying from nowhere, and the hundreds of archers that suddenly poured out on the city wall made the Song army a little overwhelmed, but all these were small tricks, but the Song army couldn't help it.
Half a moment later, the Song army regained its true colors, and the Song army was not in a hurry to attack the city, because they still had to wait for the arrival of several other Song army reinforcements.
Moreover, after the rain, the ground was muddy, and the marching speed was much slower, and they had to arrange everything outside Jinyang City.
Zhao Kuangyin They have arrived in the upper reaches of Fenshui at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin and they will station their troops on the gentle field on the side of the Fenshui River, the air after the rain is very sober, Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath, and Yang Ye on the side said: "Thank you to the family of the official family for saving the minister, the minister is grateful." ”
Zhao Kuangyin shook his hand and said, "General Yang's family affairs are my family affairs. ”
Yang Ye on the side was very happy in his heart, at this moment he was silently watching the upper reaches of Fenshui, at this moment the sky was gradually darkening, and on the west side of Fenshui in the distance, there was a spark that had been lit up on the west bank of Fenshui, and was gradually approaching the east bank.
"Official, that's the alliance of Fuzhou, Linzhou, and Xiazhou."
"Oh, it's them!" Zhao Kuangyin was just a little happy, because the three prefectures of Fuzhou/Linzhou and Xiazhou were like local separatist forces to the central government, and Zhao Kuangyin planned to regain the hearts of the people in the three northwestern states step by step after the destruction of the Han State. Although Yang Ye is also a member of the Yang family in Linzhou, because of Yang Ye's special status, Zhao Kuangyin does not have any opinion on Yang Ye.
In the southern part of them, there were 10,000 Han troops stationed on Zhoushan, and Yang Ye knew the location of that place very well.
Zhoushan is like a barrier, Jinyang City guards very stable, Jinyang City is surrounded by the Yellow River, Fenshui, Taihang Mountain arch each other, known as "the mountains and rivers in the surface", the back is extremely easy to supplement the war horse, and the contact with the Liao State is also continuous, but now it is cut off by the Song army, Li Jixun, Li Chuyun, Dang Jin They have also arrived in Jinyang, waiting for their own Song army to cross the Fenshui.
And Jinyang City is high and deep, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the people have learned to fight horses, human nature is strong, difficult to control, Yang Ye took a deep breath, the next few battles will be a lot more difficult.
But tonight they have to wait for reinforcements from the West Bank to arrive.
At night, the allied forces of the three northwestern states reached the east bank of Fenshui in turn.
In the main camp of the Song army on the east bank of Fenshui, the candle flame illuminated the camp very brightly.
Zhao Kuangyin accepted the audience of the envoys of the three northwestern states and agreed
The sergeants shouted in unison: "The Great Song Dynasty will win."
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his subordinates gratefully, and slowly raised the steel gun in his hand.
After that, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Now the destruction of the Han Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, but you still need the cooperation of your colleagues."
Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin gave an order in the army.
Dikes have been blocked upstream of the Fenshui, and little by little the water has begun to converge.
The soldiers of the Song army held hoes in their hands, operating under the scorching sun, Zhao Kuangyin stood on a high place and looked down at the river, the zigzag river went south around the mountains and rivers, zigzag, like the Milky Way in the sky.
The more he came to this moment, the clearer Zhao Kuangyin's heart became.
……
Early the next morning, outside Jinyang City, today is another sunny day, and the air around is very dull, making people feel a trace of depression in their chests.
The soldiers of the Han army looked at the black and oppressive Song soldiers under the city tower, and their scalps began to tingle, and the sunlight shone down, which was very dazzling, and the dull air made people drowsy, but the soldiers of the two countries did not want to doze off on such a day.
Li Jixun and Dang Jin looked at everything in Jinyang City in the Song army column, and then Li Jixun ordered the soldiers to quickly bring a mirror, which was like a lake, shining the shadows of people and the clouds in the sky very clearly, so that the birds in the sky and the soldiers on the ground could not distinguish whether the mirror was true or false, but the role of this mirror was not limited to this, and it was not the first time they used it.
This mirror was made in the prison and took a lot of effort and time from Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and the craftsmen who would be in the prison.
The fierce light passed through the mirror, and several strong lights gathered on the mirror surface at once, and the soldiers of the Song army put together many mirrors, just like a shield raised in front.
A light curtain composed of several mirrors shot over the city, and suddenly the place where the light shone suddenly ignited a Han army flag floating on the wall.
This sudden change startled the Han soldiers above Weng City in Jinyang, and the cloth banner had been burned
And when the strong light passed, those Han soldiers couldn't open their eyes at once, and in just a moment, they were so pierced by the light that they couldn't open their eyes, and even if they opened them, they couldn't see everything in front of them clearly.
The Song army just made a small trick and made a mess on the Jinyang city gate, but after using the mirror, the Song soldiers immediately removed the mirror, because people will always get used to it, and the soldiers of the Han army only need to close their eyes.
The sun has moved to the very top moment, the Song army is still as stable as Mount Tai, like a dantian, they are not in a hurry, and the Han army on the city gate does not know what the Song army is doing in his bones.
"The Han army is all cowardly, and no one is willing to fight." Gao Huaide was holding a spear, one of his spears already dancing.
When the soldiers of the Han army on the tower heard about it, their faces were very indignant, and several Han generals were already furious and eager to try.
"Open the gates, and let me try." Zheng Jindao.
"Drink!" The two of them urged their mounts and fought together with a desperate expression.
After a few rounds, Gao Huaide, who was calm, looked at Zheng Jin, who was already out of strength, and said: "You are not my opponent, you don't have to fight anymore, that Li Yin is much stronger than you!" As he spoke, he turned and walked towards his army.
Boasting about others in front of himself, especially if this other person is still his subordinate, his face is really gloomy, Zheng Jin is naturally no exception, he was angered by Gao Huaide's words, took the bow in his hand in the blink of an eye, and controlled the string and arrow: "My most powerful is archery, chasing the wind and arrows!"
"Ding", the imposing wind-chasing arrow, was waved by the spear in Gao Huaide's hand, bounced off, and was deeply inserted into the open space on the side.
Qingyun War Horse, Qingzhi Giant Axe, and Gao Huaide in Tsing Yi and Green Armor appeared in everyone's field of vision, and he was still so brilliant.
At this moment, there was a wolf whistling outside the city, no, not a wolf pack, ordinary wolves were only dozens, and listening to the howl of wolves like ghosts, there were at least hundreds!
Everyone looked out of the city in fear.
More than a thousand giant wolves, which were second only to war horses in size, appeared in the field of vision of the armies, and they didn't have time to think about it, those giant wolves had already arrived in front of them, jumping into the crowd and frantically nibbling and killing.
In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people had died under the claws of these inexplicable wolves, either groaning on the ground with broken hands and feet, or being bitten on the neck. However, these giant wolves reacted very quickly, and their weapons could not get close to them at all, and the defense that was finally organized collapsed with one blow.
"Whew!" Suddenly a roar came from a distance, behind this group of giant wolves, there was a huge white wolf, its whole body fur was silver and shiny, almost as tall as an ordinary war horse, as soon as it appeared, the wolves were even more enthusiastic, obviously this white wolf is the wolf king of this group of giant wolves.
More than a thousand wolves seem to be a small number, but this is not an ordinary wolf pack, but like an army, it is organized and disciplined, obeys orders, and attacks and defends consistently, which is quite powerful.
"Oh no, Li Shuai, a group of wild wolves suddenly came outside the city, there were more than a thousand of them, and they killed thousands of our brothers in an instant, what should I do?" The herald ran over in a panic and said to Li Yin breathlessly.
Li Yin's scalp was numb: "I have never heard of such a wolf pack outside Jinyang City, General Wei, let's go and see!"
Li Yin had already heard the screams of his own people outside the city, he frowned, and was hesitating what to do, when the earth-shattering sound from outside the city again shocked him in his heart.
"Li Shuai, it's Zhao Kuangyin's people! At least 30,000 men rushed from the north of the city. ”
