。 At this time, Guta Yinde had already commanded his subordinates to kill and disperse the Yishan Division, killing some of them, and the rest saw that the momentum was not right, so they also scattered and fled. Guta Yinde hated Yishan and Tutara so much, and was thinking about killing them, but he didn't expect that these two were very slippery, and when they saw that something was wrong, they looked at each other, pulled their legs and ran, and went to find Shangguan to report the news.

And with this vacancy, the surrounding Wu Yi army is also gradually encircling, but the time is too short to form an encirclement.

At this time, the two subordinates sent out by De Ling before also led a hundred and ten people back and joined the team.

Guta Yinde's good deeds have been ruined repeatedly, he was already furious, shouted, and slashed the saber in his hand on the neck of a Jurchen slave soldier who came over with a waist knife, and cut off his neck directly, and the blood in his chest raised his head a foot high.

Then, Guta Yinde was like a mad tiger, killing into the Jurchen slave soldiers, his sword skills, fierce and fierce, seemed to be indestructible, strong and domineering, and everyone was in a different place!

In the blink of an eye, ten people have been killed in a row!

Seeing that he was so fierce, the morale of the people in black and the Jurchen slave soldiers who had taken refuge was shocked, and they all raised their arms and shouted, using Guta Yinde as an arrow, and slaughtered fiercely in front!

Caught off guard, the Jurchen slave soldiers who surrounded them were all killed and lost, and they were actually rushed into it by this team of hundreds of people, and De Ling kept shouting and shouting along the way, and the Jurchen slave soldiers continued to join in, and the team was constantly growing!

They went straight to the location of the central tent. Obviously, the purpose of Guta Yinde is to capture the thief and capture the king!

The camp of the Wu Yi Army was disturbed by such a group of sudden attackers!

At the same time, you are barbarian to the west of the river, and the Jurchen camp of Jianzhou is built.

Tonight, even the Jianzhou Jurchen camp for several miles is brightly lit.

Inside the camp, between the tents and tents, every three or four feet apart. There was a huge brazier, each the size of a wooden barrel for water in the house, made of iron. Resembling the shape of a funnel, underneath is a five-foot-high stand made of wood. The brazier was filled with fuel, and the flames were blazing inside.

The entire camp was illuminated by these countless braziers. Bright as day.

The Jurchen resources are indeed extremely rich, but such a small number of people occupy the richest and most fertile land in the whole of China in later generations, and the most abundant coal and iron minerals, which can be seen from their equipment - the Jurchens have thousands of abducted horses and iron floating slaughter, and more than 50,000 armored cavalry, the armor of these cavalry is all heavy iron, and the monk Wanyan Chen only ordered the craftsmen to dig a few iron mines closest to the Khan's court. Most of it has not been mined.

The brazier burned black oil, which was later known as oil, and of course, people of this age did not know what it was, let alone that it was known as liquid gold in later generations. I only know that this thing can burn after a little processing, and the burning time is quite long.

However, using it like this is also a huge consumption, but today is a big deal, and Nalan can't take care of it.

All the soldiers remained quietly in their tents, waiting for the officer's orders—earlier in the day. The order had already been handed down from above, and everyone went to bed at three o'clock in the afternoon, and only when it was already dark did they get up one after another, eat and drink enough, tidy up their clothes and armor, and make all preparations.

In the whole battalion, except for the low sound of orders and footsteps of the soldiers patrolling back and forth, there was no other movement, and it was quiet and terrifying.

All the soldiers could already guess that there must be a big battle today! …,

The people brought out by Nalan Jiancheng this time, needless to say, Tiefutu is the most elite soldier, and the other armored cavalry and foot soldiers are also veterans of the Jurchen Praetorian Guard, with rich experience, before the big battle, they should naturally know how to regulate their emotions and keep their bodies in the best condition.

And at this time, Nalan Jiancheng is not in his own Chinese army tent.

He stood behind the fence, clad in heavy armor, carrying an extraordinarily large bow and arrow, and carrying a quiver at his waist, among which there were more than a dozen heavy arrows that were far longer than ordinary arrows.

Around him were a thousand heavily armored Iron Floating Slaughter with heavy weapons such as black iron axes, bronze hammers, and even watermelon-sized golden melons.

Behind Nalan Jiancheng, there were a thousand armored cavalry, and the armored cavalry was between the abducted horses and light cavalry, they were wearing fish scale armor cast by the three surnamed Jurchen themselves, and the war horses were draped with cotton cloth, barbed wire, etc., which were similar to cotton armor, and in terms of impact and protective ability, this kind of armored cavalry was naturally far inferior to the abducted horses and horses with plate armor, but compared to the light cavalry, it was much stronger.

The combined armor of men and horses also exceeded the weight of fifty catties, which can be regarded as heavy cavalry.

Nalan completed this expedition, Wanyan Chen monk because of his main responsibility is to defend, so the Tiefutu and 20,000 armored foot soldiers given to him are all foot soldiers, and it is naturally no problem to defend the city, but the situation has changed at this time, Nalan Jiancheng has changed from the side defending the city to the attacking side, and the foot soldiers alone are not enough, but fortunately he still leads the headquarters of 10,000 horses, but there are thousands of armored cavalry in his headquarters, but it is also an urgent need.

More than 2,000 people gathered here, but it was quiet and abnormal, and occasionally a slight neighing of the war horse could be heard, which also showed its military discipline and how terrifying its combat effectiveness was!

Where they were, there were no torches, but it was pitch black, but the camp behind them was brightly lit. In this way, even if Wu Yijun was looking at the wall, his eyes would all be attracted by the large battalion behind, and he would not be able to see them.

Nalan Jiancheng frowned, his eyes fixed on the east, which was the direction of White Eagle Peak.

I don't know how long it will be!

Finally, he saw the east, in the depths of the camp of the Wu Yi army. A flash of red light scurried up, reflecting half of the sky!

The military discipline was as strict as them, and there was also a commotion behind the construction of Nalan, and in the Jianzhou Jurchen camp, which had been prepared for a long time, I don't know how many old soldiers stood up and began to wear battle armor, and their eyebrows were indifferent. I can't see the tension before the battle of life and death.

The spikes on the mace in his hand have been sharpened, and the steel knife is shiny, and he is full of food and drink. Full of strength, ready to fight at any time!

Nalan Jiancheng's brows suddenly relaxed, and he raised his right hand high. It fell heavily again, and said in a deep voice: "Order, ignition!" Concentrate! ”

"Ignition! Concentrate! The loud-voiced herald shouted in a loud voice, and the prepared soldier threw the torch in his hand into the brazier, and suddenly the raging flames burst out, and dozens of huge braziers illuminated the place through.

The long and mournful sound of the horn sounded throughout the camp, and countless soldiers who had been prepared for a long time walked out of the camp tents and assembled into a team in units of 100 households. They walked to the open space in front of the tent and assembled into a huge phalanx.

It was only a short tea time, and the army had already been assembled.

At the front, naturally, were the Iron Float and a thousand armored cavalry, and behind these forces. There were about 5,000 cavalrymen, and they also had horses and weapons, but most of them wore leather robes and even simple cloth clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied. Some were holding scimitars, others were holding a club, and their heads were of cast iron, and the raised thorns were like miniature versions of maces, most of them carrying bows and arrows on their backs. …,

Behind them, there were also about 10,000 foot soldiers, and their weapons, clothes, and even mental outlook were similar to those of the cavalry in front, but the difference was that they did not ride horses.

They are the warriors recruited by Nalan Jiancheng from the Jurchen tribes along the way.

Nalan Jiancheng was ordered by Monk Wanyan Chen to march south, but Monk Wanyan Chen also granted him the authority to allow him to recruit warriors from all walks of life along the way.

Not to mention, when the results were really good, these fifteen thousand people were all from the tribes along the way.

In fact, the higher the degree of civilization and development, the stronger the sense of nationality, collectivity, and honor, and in this era, the concept of the country is still very weak.

It seems that after the Battle of Jingkang, the Song dynasty crossed to the south, so in most of the poems and songs of the Southern Song Dynasty, you can often read the description of generously going to the country, sacrificing his life for the country, recovering the northern land, and saving the people from fire and water, but this is just the wishful thinking of the literati - in fact, the real situation is that the common people of the Southern Song Dynasty did not support the recovery of the Central Plains at all, because such a large-scale use of troops would greatly increase their burden, the government would collect more taxes, and they might also be dragged to military service. As for the common people living in the Central Plains who were in dire straits, they would never eat a scoop to welcome the Southern Song Dynasty kings, because at that time, they lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong, who was known as Xiao Yao Shun.

This is the brutal and true history.

In fact, these tribal warriors joined the army for a short time, purely for the sake of profit.

Participating in the army, especially the army of the Southern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty, although there will be damage, but the damage is only a few, and most of the people who can come back alive will make a big fortune - gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful silk and satin, and even women, may become trophies.

Their predecessors have already set a precedent for this.

The Jurchen people are brave and fierce, especially these people in the countryside, and it is conceivable that a person who often fights with beasts that are much more ferocious than humans will not be afraid of murder. Therefore, they rarely have the feeling of fear or anything like that, but most of them are very excited-because the officials had already said before the big battle that the Wu Yi army over there was well prepared, the armor was hard, and the weapons were sharp, as long as the Wu Yi army could be defeated, all the weapons and armor captured would belong to them!

The Ming Dynasty was notoriously well-armed, once the Jurchens got it. Armor weapons are often treasured as family heirlooms, so they are all excited about the news.

Before the start of the fight, they were already thinking about how to dispose of the spoils, which also shows the arrogance of these Jurchen herdsmen, which is the huge psychological advantage they have established in the successive battles with the Ming Dynasty, and every defense will lose at all. And of course, Nalan Jiancheng will not kindly remind them. He originally intended to use these people as cannon fodder!

They are dead, only their parents, wives and children are distressed, but they will not be left on paper. In the Khan's court, no one will know, let alone blame himself.

Such a beautiful thing that has no money. Why not?

At the very back of the line, yes

All eyes were on Nalan Jiancheng.

Nalan Jiancheng took a deep breath, but didn't speak, just stretched out his arm and pointed straight at the camp of the Wu Yi Army! …,

The benefits have been promised in advance, and the generals have already performed their duties and arranged properly, and even the battle plan has been told to all the generals and commanders. There is no need to say anything more.

He pointed his arm forward and ordered loudly: "Ali Heman, take your people, the first batch, rush and kill!" ”

Alihe is full of Jurchen thousands of households who lead 10,000 Jurchen herdsmen. He is also the general of Nalan Jian's department, and he is one of his henchmen.

With his order, the ranks of the cavalry suddenly cracked, revealing the passage, and Ali Heman rode out with a dozen of his own soldiers and came to the front of the battle. Towards Nalan Jiancheng, he arched his hand and laughed: "Lord Wanhu, a certain family has gone!" ”

After speaking, a dozen horses rushed towards the camp of the Wuyi army with tens of thousands of Jurchen foot soldiers who were screaming in a mess.

Followed by 20,000 armored foot soldiers, the quality of these foot soldiers is much higher at a glance, lined up in a neat phalanx, striding forward, the formation is not chaotic at all, and they follow the cannon fodder unhurriedly at a distance of fifty paces.

The commander of these 20,000 armored foot soldiers is Mandu, who is in his fifties this year, and is another Wanhu in the Jianzhou Jurchen South Road Army in addition to Nalan Jiancheng, and Nalan Jiancheng is at the same level but is under his control, if it is replaced by ordinary people, he will definitely not be convinced, but this old general is old, and he looks down on everything, so he is still very obedient.

And after the 20,000 armored foot soldiers, a hundred paces away, Nalan Jiancheng personally led 6,000 cavalry and 1,000 Tiefutu to press the formation behind.

At this time, the entire camp was already empty.

Nalan Jiancheng was so desperate that he threw all his troops into this attack!

This is the madness of a commander-in-chief, and he is extremely confident in his own wisdom and strategy, because he knows that his own strategy, Wu Yijun will never be able to see through it, let alone take precautions, take advantage of surprises, and his own rear will definitely not have any changes, then, it is time to put all the troops into it!

The 37,000-strong army, showing three waves, like boundless waves, rushed straight towards the direction of the Wuyi army's camp!

With such a big movement here, it is naturally impossible for the city wall to be unnoticed, in fact, Xia Zikai has arranged for people to patrol the city wall every day, and he is ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

As early as when this side was dispatched, Wu Yijun on the city wall had already realized that the situation was wrong, and a thousand households were stationed on the city wall.

The bell rang suddenly, and in an instant it spread throughout the camp!

The camp of the Wu Yi Army, which was already in some turmoil because of the fires that appeared in the east, was completely boiling at this time.

However, the incisive argument of the ancestors of the Chinese nation on siege warfare is that "the method of using military forces is to encircle it with ten, attack it with five, and fight it if it is doubled, and the enemy can divide it, escape if it is less, and avoid it if it is not." Therefore, the argument that the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is captured' has really affected too many people, especially generals like Xia Zikai who read poetry and books. In their minds, how could the Jianzhou Jurchens dare to attack the fortified city built on their side with such a weak force? It's almost as good as they defend the city and fight on their own side!

Although Xia Zikai and the others didn't say it, this kind of emotion could be clearly felt, and then affected the officers and non-commissioned officers below, and the direct harm brought by this was that Wu Yijun's reaction speed was not very fast!

And the army built by Nalan. It's already going to kill this side. …,

The distance between them is only a few miles.

A strong man strides and runs briskly, this distance is only ten minutes, even if you add the middle of the river, it is only twenty minutes!

That's a little more than a cup of tea.

Soon, the Jianzhou Jurchen army was already approaching the river. This section of the river is the slowest, narrowest, and shallowest in depth. That's why it's the only way for caravans to pass through here - you can't expect the Jurchens to build a bridge in such a remote location.

The depth here is only about the depth of the chest, but if you cross the river alone, you will definitely not be able to bear this depth. Therefore, the Jurchen soldiers all went into the water one after another, but they stood arm after arm, standing in a row of human walls, slowly but firmly, steadily walking towards the opposite shore.

The gentle flow of the water and the limited width of the river make them quickly cross the river!

That's the benefit of a sneak attack and the disadvantage of Wu Yijun's reduced reaction speed.

Just like the first Xishenwei defense battle, Wu Yijun had long known that the Haixi Jurchen army was coming to attack, so he had already prepared for it and took advantage of its half-crossing to fight hard. Then he hit it again when he had just landed, and finally when he was about to get close to the city wall!

Such a series of sniping attacks directly led to heavy casualties before the Haixi Jurchens reached the city wall!

And if Lian Zining personally led the army here, there would be such a moment of reaction time. You should come out and take advantage of the fact that you are not prepared for it when you have just landed on the shore and come to kill one by surprise!

But after all, this is a Jurchen slave soldier, a group of Jurchen slave soldiers who have just put down their whips, bows and arrows, and hoes for just over a month, not a genuine Wuyi soldier who has undergone half a year of arduous hellish training and long-term blood and fire tempering!

When the Jianzhou Jurchen army at the front crossed the Youman River, a lot of Jurchen slave soldiers were also gathered on the city wall, but the number was not very large.

They looked at the Jianzhou Jurchen army that rushed over. My eyes are a little stunned!

They were just driven by Wu Yijun to be cannon fodder before, how could they have seen such a battle? I was at a loss for a while!

The Qianhu guarding the city wall was also scheming, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, everyone can see clearly what kind of life the knighted person is, let me kill the enemy, and count the heads!" After the war, you can also be knighted in terms of meritorious deeds! ”

I have to say that before the Northern Route Army set out, Lian Zining introduced the same lord system as Wu Yijun and various privileges to match it among the Jurchen slave soldiers, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has saved the Northern Route Army at this moment! It also saved the key fighter of White Eagle Gorge! If the Tenth Guard is still overwhelmed by the domineering power at this time, I am afraid that at the moment when the Jianzhou Jurchen army arrives, it will already collapse.

The agitation of these thousand households played an absolute role, and as soon as he shouted like this, everyone suddenly felt that they had the backbone, especially those Han officers, who shouted in unison, and the emotions of the Jurchen slave soldiers were immediately mobilized!

A Jurchen slave soldier who had been co-opted moved in his heart, and the rough man laughed and said: "These Jianzhou dogs came just in time, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is itching, kill them, Lao Tzu can also eat and drink spicy food, go to the military prostitute camp to play with women!" ”

Suddenly, many Jurchen slave soldiers shouted in response, and the Jurchen slave soldiers all clenched their weapons one after another, and their fighting spirit rose!

The Jurchen slave soldier who had just opened his mouth glanced at the Han Qianhu, and when he saw Shangguan nodding affirmatively, he suddenly felt relieved, knowing that he had done the right thing this time!

Xia Zikai's residence was not far away, just within the west gate of the city wall, and he set up the commander's tent here, and also supervised these Jurchen slave soldiers nearby, in case they were lazy or had some other tricks.

And here, it is also to command the nearest command once the war breaks out, so as not to be too late to arrive.

But I didn't expect that this war would really start.

When the fire under the White Eagle Peak came up, Xia Zikai had already been woken up by his own soldiers, and in shock, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.

He just thought that there was an enemy situation on the side of White Eagle Peak, it was definitely not accidental, and his side had to face a large-scale attack by the Jianzhou Jurchens, but as soon as he thought of this stubble, some soldiers came to report that the Jianzhou Jurchens were attacking the city on a large scale!
