Chapter 44: Confrontation
With the all-out assault of the 1st Division of the Protector Army, the Jin soldiers on the front line began to retreat. The five hundred golden soldiers who supervised the battle were so weak that they still couldn't block the way for their comrades to escape. In the end, even the Jin soldiers who supervised the battle were coerced by the defeated soldiers and retreated to the Jin army camp.
Zong Han was condescending, and of course he could see that this defeat was decided. Zong Han had no choice but to withdraw his troops. What made Zong Han a little depressed was that Yue Fei didn't go out at all in this battle. With the 1st Division of the Protector Army alone, the Jin Army was defeated and retreated.
Because it was a defeat and retreat, not a calm retreat as in the past. Today's Jin soldiers retreated in a panic. Not even the three fortifications that had been captured could be defended. Zhang Xian chased out of Sanli in one fell swoop and recovered all the lost camps of the rebels. Only then did he return to the camp.
Yue Fei was extremely satisfied with Zhang Xian's performance. In today's battle, Zhang Xian fought extremely beautifully. Only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the attacking Jin soldiers were repulsed. Although Samoulu's assault caused more than 100 casualties among the 7,000 heavy infantry. However, with a total of less than 500 casualties, 3,000 corpses of Jurchen soldiers were left behind, which can be said to be a complete victory.
So Yue Fei personally greeted Zhang Xian at the gate of the camp. Zhang Xian has a calm personality, and although he won a big battle, he still has a calm face. walked up to Yue Fei, clasped his fists and said, "Yue Shuai, Zhang Xian is fortunate to be alive." ”
Yue Fei patted Zhang Xian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Xian's victory over Jin Ren today can be described as a great achievement. ”
Niu Gao, who did not receive the order to fight, gave Zhang Xian a thumbs up. "Master Zhang, my old cow has opened his eyes today. I finally saw the elite of the world. Master Zhang, amazing. Your soldiers are also powerful. ”
Ji Qian exclaimed happily, "Zhang Xian, I'll invite you to drink tonight." ”
Seeing the chaotic generals of the Protector Army, Xiao Shan and Zhang Lei glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a look of happiness. Defeating the battle of Shaguzhi, the 1st Division did not shoot at all. So Xiao Shan and Zhang Lei didn't know how powerful Zhang Xian was. They originally thought that Zhang Xian only relied on his relationship with Yue Fei to become the deputy of the People's Protector Army. As a result, Zhang Xian shocked them with an amazing battle today.
Not only Zhang Xian, Hua Chaoxi, Luo Yanqing, Xu Xuan, and other regiment commanders and battalion commanders, all of them are extremely young, and everyone has an invincible spirit. Even when facing Samouru's iron cavalry, none of the soldiers of the 1st Division panicked. is still organized in an orderly manner, with the squad as the organization, and the fight is orderly but indomitable.
With such a young general and such an elite soldier, why worry about the world!
Therefore, Xiaoshan Zhang Ti felt fortunate from the bottom of his heart. The two of them are not self-indulgent either. They think that even though they are not as good as Zhang Xian, they are still comparable to Huachao Xiluo Yanqing. If the Protector Army can really sweep the world one day, Xiaoshan Zhang Lei thinks that he can also be on the list of meritorious heroes.
Xiao Shan, who has a grudge against the Jin people, even believes that as long as he follows the Protector Army, his family's revenge will always be avenged.
Because the Jin soldiers retreated too hastily, the 5,000 Han'er army that followed Wang Jue died 2,000, and the remaining 3,000 decisively raised their hands and surrendered. Not only did they surrender themselves, but they also dedicated Wang Jue to the Protector Army.
Yue Fei asked Wang Jue about his actions, and learned that this person was the most brutal to the people, so he immediately waved his hand, cut off Wang Jue's head, and hung it at the door of the camp of the righteous army. As for the 3,000 Han'er army, Yue Fei gave all of them to Niu Gao. Because Niu Gao is particularly good at organizing rabble.
The next day, Zong Han sent troops to attack again. This time, Zong Han did not send cavalry troops, but sent 10,000 Han troops.
But what appeared in front of the Han'er army was the rebuilt camp of Wudao. The 3,000 Han army that was incorporated by Niu Gao didn't sleep all night, and they were rebuilding the camp. Although most of the newly built barracks were built of rough wood, they were not as strong as Wang Yan's stone barracks. But the soldiers of the 1st Division were ten times more elite than Wang Yan's.
In the second battle, Zhang Xian changed his tactics again. He no longer sent hoplites and cannon fodder men in hand-to-hand combat. Instead, they sent 5,000 crossbowmen to hide behind the camp and use their bows and crossbows to block the Jin soldiers' attacks.
There are bed crossbows that can shoot a thousand steps away, a stretch crossbow that can be used to generate power with a foot pedal, and a three-armed crossbow that can fire three crossbows at the same time. There are also assault crossbows that can fire rockets. There is also a repeater with great close-range fire.
All sorts of crossbow arrows weave a web of death. As a result, the Han'er army attacked for a day, leaving 2,000 corpses in front of the fifth camp again in vain, and they did not even rush to within three zhang of the camp. Occasionally, the braver or luckier Han'er army rushed in, only to be thrown to the ground again.
Zong Han was furious, and immediately beheaded Liu He, a thousand households of the Han Army, to set an example. On the third day, the Jin soldiers attacked again. It's still a cannon fodder army. As a result, Zhang Xian changed his tactics again. Facing the Han'er army, which was mostly infantry, Zhang Xian ordered Luo Yanqing to lead the cavalry regiment to attack, and the Han'er army was defeated with a single charge.
When Samoulu led 10,000 iron cavalry to rush up again, Zhao Hong, who had been held back for a few days, led the cavalry division to rush up, just outside the camp, and killed the Jin soldiers in the dark.
The two sides went back and forth, slashing and killing for most of the day, and there was still no winner or loser. However, Xiaoshan Zhang Lei led the 5,000 cavalry of the Fourth Division to join the battle group.
Because Sa Moulu recognized Xiaoshan Zhang Lei, he was laughing, thinking that the people's protection army was poor in donkey skills, and he actually sent the newly reorganized Han'er army to the battlefield. So he inadvertently sent Aliha to stop Xiaoshan Zhang Lei.
As a result, as soon as Xiao Shan and Aliha collided, they fought to hurt their left shoulder, and they slashed Aliha, who was previously high in the sky, into the dust. Xiao Shan's saber kept waving in his hand, and at the same time shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, the golden dog destroyed my Yanyun homeland. Hurt my parents, wife and children. Today is the day of our revenge. Kill. ”
Under the leadership of the lifeless Xiao Shan, the 5,000 Han'er army, which had always been afraid of gold soldiers like tigers, all became tigers descending from the mountain. Although they talk about personal martial arts, they are still not as good as the Jurchen Iron Horse. But in a big war, courage is the most important thing. Awakened by the officers, the Han Er Army, who hated the Jin people, almost slashed wildly with red eyes.
As a result, an unexpected scene appeared in Samoulu. He blocked Zhao Hong here. Mu Shiluo couldn't stop Xiao Shan from being tired. In the end, even Samoulu could only lead the army to retreat.
This kind of battle lasted for ten days, and as a result, Zong Han did not take even a single camp. He had wanted to use the non-stop fighting to wear down the Protectors. Because the golden soldiers are several times larger than the Protector Army. But then he found that he couldn't do that.
Because if he wanted to achieve this goal, he could only send real Jurchen iron cavalry to attack the Protector Army camp. But he will definitely not consume the Jurchen elite on attacking the camp. So he could only keep sending out the Han'er army.
As a result, the Han'er army was captured every day. Every day, the guards of the Protector Army would have the faces of the captured Han'er Army. The Han'er Army, which was like a waste in the Jin soldiers, became a tiger in the Protector Army, but they all became tigers descending from the mountain.
Ten days later, Zong Han once again lost more than 30,000 Han soldiers and more than 5,000 Jurchen elite soldiers. The number of the Protector Army not only did not decrease, but increased by more than 10,000, all of whom were captured Han Er soldiers.
Ten days later, Zong Han stopped the attack. Because he reluctantly found that under Yue Fei's defense, a few thin barracks had become insurmountable moats. No matter how desperately the Jurchen Iron Cavalry tried, it could not gain the upper hand.
What made Zong Han even more chilling was that with the daily battles, the combat power of the Protector Army on the opposite side became more and more amazing. Now the cavalry of the Protector Army is facing the real Jurchen Iron Cavalry, not only does not fall behind, but also has a faint advantage.
Zong Han stopped the attack, but the army was still stationed between Mengju and Jeju, and there was no intention of retreating. Yue Fei didn't dare to lead his troops to leave. The two sides were at a stalemate.
Yue Fei is not afraid of stalemate battles. Now there is not a single Jin soldier on the south bank of the Yellow River, as long as he blocks Zong Han, and when the Jin soldiers run out of food and grass, they will automatically retreat to the Daimyo's Mansion. Since Yue Fei crossed the Yellow River, the already active Taihang Mountain Rebels have become even more active. Mr. Chuang has left Shizhou, arrived at Baoqian Village, and joined forces with Zhang Gong's Yijun. Now he is confronting Guo Yaoshi's victorious army.
In the area of Huazhou, since Yang Zaixing arrived, although he could not defeat Wanyan Ba's departure, he also stabilized the situation in Huazhou. Outside Kaide Mansion, Master Zhihun and Kou Cheng led 10,000 foot riders, and they had already gained the upper hand. But if you want to defeat the golden soldiers in the game, you still can't catch it.
In the last month of the second year of Jingkang, a strange situation suddenly appeared in the war situation in the world. Almost every front is facing off. The Jurchen West Route Army, under the leadership of Wanyan Lou Room, attacked the city along the way, unstoppable, and was about to capture Chang'an, but ran into the general Qu Duan from the northwest Jingyuan Road.
Qu Duan commanded a total of 70,000 elite Western troops who fought with Western Xia all year round, and their combat power was good. Wanyan Lou's repeated attacks could not take any advantage. can only stop at the foot of Chang'an City and confront Qu Duan.
Liangshan Kou Jiuwen Dragon Shi Bin raised troops in Shaohua Mountain, trying to take advantage of the chaos in Shaanxi and establish himself as the king. Qu Duan's subordinates prepared to bring the Wu rank Wu phosphorus brothers, and only led 2,000 western troops to attack Shaohua Mountain, which was tens of thousands of thieves, but easily defeated the thief army, Shi Bin was captured by Wu phosphorus, and the car was split and died.
There are a total of 36 main rebel armies on the West Shaanxi Road, and Li Yanxian was elected as the leader, forming a coalition of 100,000 people, and constantly harassing the back road of Yan Lou's room. However, because of the limited combat strength of the righteous army, it was temporarily impossible to cut off the back road of Yan Lou's room.
Although the Jurchen East Route Army surrendered under the surrender of Liangshan Kou Li Kui and won Mizhou and other places, it was under the city of Jinan. Dadaoguan will win tens of thousands of soldiers to defend the city, even if Zong Bi is brave and brave, but he can't help Jinan City. After finishing it, Yan Zongbi scolded Zong Han for being incompetent every day. The 300,000-strong army that led the most powerful troops did not even cross the Yellow River.
The front line is facing off, and the rear, of course, is not calm. Zong Ze garrisoned Luoyang, and was training troops while dealing with Du Chong's difficulties. Zhao Gou lived in Yangzhou steadily, and while dispatching troops to fight against the civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River. On the one hand, he kept sending cronies to the Central Plains with secret decrees to fan the flames.
It was in this strange atmosphere of tension and calm that the New Year arrived.
Snow began to fall on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it rained for three days in one go. The entire Central Plains is covered in silver, and it is extremely smashed!
But on the land of the Central Plains, there is a place like a paradise far from the war, since the 28th of the new year, there are people who keep setting off firecrackers, and on the night of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is full of fireworks, like a city that never sleeps, and firecrackers are ringing in unison, that is the foundation of the people's army: Ying Tianfu.
