Chapter 347: Mobei Changes (8) 2/2
Songzikou is located between Lingxian and Ding'an.
The terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The west side is where the Huliu River is located in later generations, although the Huliu River at this time is still an inconspicuous small river, but the water flow is turbulent and difficult to travel. The Huliu River was the western barrier, and Songzikou was a hilly area, making it difficult for the cavalry to charge, which offset the Jin army's huge advantage in cavalry.
The mouth of the pine nut is shaped like a songzi, narrow in the north and wide in the south.
If Jin Bing wants to recapture Lingxian County, he must pass through Songzikou.
It's just that on the second day after Lingxian was captured, Yuyin ordered Zhang Yu to storm Songzikou and bring it under the control of the Song army.
As a result, in the Saibei area, two battlefields of Ruzhou and Songzikou were formed.
On the third day of December, Wanyan Zonghan commanded a large army to Linding'an County, and immediately dispatched troops to launch a fierce attack on Songzikou. And the chief general of the Song army is Wu Jue. Yu Yin handed over the military power to Wu Jue, and even he had to obey Wu Jue's command.
Yu Yin knew that marching and fighting had never been his strong point.
The situation on this battlefield is ever-changing, and it is difficult for him to control the situation. On the contrary, Wu Jue's talent in this area is far stronger than Yu Yin. Yu Yin was self-aware, so he simply delegated power to Wu Jue and completely handed over the prince's army to Wu Jue's control.
Wu Jue was also not polite, and after getting the command, he immediately ordered the two of them to lead the cavalry to camp on the flank of Songzikou, so as to give full play to the mobile advantages of the cavalry and harass the Jin soldiers. Subsequently, Zhang Xi and Fu Xuan defended in turn, forming a fairly layered defensive line outside the Songzi Pass and at the Songzi Pass to resist the attack of the Jin soldiers.
When everything is arranged. After finishing Yan Zonghan's vanguard army, he arrived at Songzikou.
The two sides engaged in a short battle without any temptation...... If Wanyan Zonghan knew that Song Jun had the big killer weapon of palm thunder in his hand, he might be more cautious. But because the scout didn't know what kind of sharp weapon the palm thunder was, he only said that there was a firearm in Song Jun's hand, which was so powerful that Wanyan Zonghan didn't care.
Who knows. As soon as they clashed, the Song army threw a rain-like palm thunder.
Chen Gui brought nearly 10,000 palm thunders, which had previously cost more than 1,000 in Laolongling. Five thousand were given to Yue Fei, and Yu Yin still had more than three thousand palm thunders in his hand that could be used. With the opening of the Liupin Mountain Firearms Camp among the seed masters, Yu Yin knew. After that, palm mines will inevitably be mass-produced, so they will no longer be used sparingly. More than 1,000 palm thunderbolts flew out and landed in the middle of the Jin army, the sound of explosions was endless, a ball of fire rose, and the flesh and blood of the Jin soldiers were blown up.
"It's really a sharp weapon!"
Wu Jue stood on the watchtower and watched the battle with Yuyin.
Watching the flames rise in the distance, the smoke filled the air, I couldn't help but praise loudly.
He was born in the army, so he can naturally see it. The appearance of this palm thunder will inevitably change the pattern of warfare in the future......
Turning back to Yu Yin, he said: "Lang Jun, if this palm thunder can be promoted in the army, it will be just around the corner when the horse sets foot in Beijing." ”
Is it just around the corner?
Yu Yin smiled!
He found. He loved the smoke of the scenery so much.
Wu Jue saw that the Jin soldiers were in chaos, so he ordered the cannon to be fired three times.
The high-ranking He Yuanqing slaughtered from both sides, causing the Jin soldiers to collapse suddenly. However, Wanyan Zonghan was indeed extraordinary, and immediately ordered to stabilize his position and block the pursuing Song army. As the rout converged. The Song army also slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
As the sun sets, outside the mouth of the pine nuts, there is smoke, like a bloody cloud.
"Lang Jun, next, I'm afraid there will be a hard battle!"
Yu Yin nodded and glanced at Wu Jue, "No matter how bitter it is, I'm afraid it won't be more thrilling than the situation in Chen Qiao." All we need to do is hold on to the mouth of the pine nuts and block the thieves. On the side of the small species, it won't be long before there will be a big action. ”…,
Wu Jue's face immediately revealed excitement.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The battle of Songzikou is becoming increasingly fierce.
The war in Yanshan has made countless people worry about their stomachs and give birth to all kinds of thoughts.
Wanyan Wu Qimai knew that the battle of Yanshan would determine the future direction of the Jin Kingdom, so he did not dare to relax at all, and even ordered Wanyan Zonghan to fight with all his strength and be sure to achieve victory. In order to support the Battle of Yanshan, Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered people to go to Kaifeng and urge Yelu Yujian to exert pressure on the Great Song Dynasty; On the other hand, the marshal Zuo Du sent Yan Yanmu to send an envoy to the Collapsed Ridge, and it was necessary to ask the thirteen tribes of the Collapsed Ridge to send troops to join forces to capture Yanshan Mansion.
The thirteen tribes of the collapsed ridge have lived in the north of the country for a long time, and are almost independent of the rule of the Jin State.
When Da Liao was at its strongest, he set up the Collapsed Ridge Jiedu Envoy in order to be able to suppress the thirteen tribes of the Collapsed Ridge. The Liao State was destroyed, and as the former allies of the Jurchens, the thirteen tribes of the collapsed mountains developed rapidly. Nominally, they submitted to the Jin State, just as they did to the Great Liao, but in fact, they did not listen to the dispatch.
Wanyan Wu Qimai originally did not want to borrow troops from the Collapsed Ridge, because in that case, it would inevitably reduce his control over the Mobei region.
But the current situation no longer allows him to preserve his strength.
If the Battle of Yanshan fails, the rule of the Jin State in Saibei will inevitably suffer a huge blow, and it is by no means something he can afford.
In addition, the Jurchen people did not have many troops, and although Zhongjing Road also had soldiers and horses, it was necessary to prevent the Seed Master Road from sneaking up on Zhongjing, so they could only deploy defenses on the line from Songziling to Xinghua. Defending more than enough and not attacking enough is the embarrassing situation that the Jurchens are currently facing.
But the Song army didn't need to worry about this, as the Yanshan War kicked off, the Privy Council continued to send soldiers and horses to Yanshan Mansion.
Zong Ze, the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the Gyeonggi East Road, with Pang Zhen (that is, Pang Wanchun) and Niu Gao as the main commanders, led his troops to cross the river and march towards Yanshan Mansion; Huang Qianshan, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses in Hejian, ordered Han Shizhong to lead 8,000 people to help in the battle. Zhang's location in Xiangzhou recruited troops and horses, but unfortunately Du Chong, the prefect of Xiangzhou, did not cooperate, so the progress was slow. But even so, there are still a large number of volunteers.
Go to Yanshan and kill the thieves!
This situation is not only in Hebei Road, including Hedong Road, and even in the southeast of Liangzhejiang Road, which is also responding.
Thereinto. In particular, Zhongxiang, a native of Wuling, Dingzhou, is the most active.
Originally, he was a missionary in the Dongting area, and during the battle of Kaifeng, he also sent his eldest son Zhong Ziang 300 volunteers to the north to King Qin.
How do you know that it is only halfway through, and the battle of Kaifeng is over.
Zhong Ziang returned to his hometown with righteousness......
Zhong Xiangqi is quite prestigious in the Wuling area. He established an organization called the Township Society. Those who join the township community only need to pay a little money and two. You can get mutual aid within the company. Zhong Xiang himself also declared: The law divides the rich and the poor, and it is not a good law. I practice the Dharma. When the rich and the low, they are rich and poor.
Zhong Xiang himself has also won the support of the locals. He is revered as the 'Great Sage'.
Before the Battle of Yanshan, Zhong Xiang was wanted by the government and led the crowd to prepare for an incident in Dongting Lake. Hearing that the battle of Yanshan had begun, Zhong Xiang also became hesitant. Under the persuasion of the strategist Wang Zuo, Zhong Xiang decided to lead his troops north to fight the thieves.
On the government side, because it could get rid of such an unstable factor as Zhong Xiang, it withdrew the wanted warrant.
At the beginning of December, Zhong Xiang led 800 volunteers, together with his eldest son Zhong Ziang. and his subordinate Yang Mi, together went north to Yanshan.
This situation like Zhong Xiang is endlessly emerging in the Shenzhou Continent.
Therefore, there is no pressure from the source of soldiers among the planters.
December 8. Han Shizhong's troops arrived at Yanshan and were immediately sent to the Gubei Pavilion to garrison in order to contain the Jin soldiers in Zhongjing.
At this time, the battle of Songzikou had been going on for five days.
The prince's pro-army was bloodied in pine nuts and suffered heavy casualties.
And the Jin soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. In just five days, more than 3,000 people were killed. …,
After finishing Yan Zonghan, he could no longer keep a cool head. He immediately ordered to concentrate his forces and continue the attack, making sure to capture Songzikou within three days.
However, on the night of the eighth day of the twelfth month, a heavy snowfall forced Wanyan Zonghan to temporarily stop attacking.
The snow was heavy, and it was thick overnight, making it difficult to walk. The Song army was on the defensive at Songzikou and was less affected. If the Jin army continues to attack, I am afraid that it will have to pay an even heavier price.
"Da Langjun, you can't do it like this anymore!"
The strategist smiled bitterly and persuaded Yan Zonghan, "The wolf lord has sent the eunuch of the mother to borrow troops from the Collapsed Ridge.
The Bai Dadan and the sticky Bage people have also arrived in Hongzhou, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in Ding'an in two days at the latest. Rather than let the sons and daughters fight to the death like this, it is better to wait for the reinforcements of the Bai Dadan and the Mubaga people to arrive, and then launch a fierce attack.
Didn't the wolf lord say that in ten days at the latest, reinforcements from the Collapsed Ridge could arrive.
When the time comes, Lang Jun has enough troops, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about anything else, and he can naturally take down the pine nut mouth in one go. ”
The strategist's words made Wanyan Zonghan's heart pound.
Indeed, the deaths and injuries of the Jin soldiers in the past few days are too serious.
The Jurchen population is not large in the first place, and if such casualties continue, even if they defeat Songzikou, they will not be able to launch a counterattack.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth and said, "Let Nan'er be arrogant for a few more days!" ”
Immediately, Wanyan Zonghan ordered the troops to be collected, withdrawn to Anding County, and waited for reinforcements to arrive.
At the same time, the war in Ruzhou also ceased temporarily.
However, it was not Wanyan Lou who took the initiative to collect troops, but the Song army who took the initiative to withdraw from Confucianism.
Jinshan County is a small city with a small population.
After the occupation, the Song army moved all the locals into Yanshan Mansion. Several days of fierce fighting made the county even more dilapidated......
When Yue Fei saw this, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would inevitably have to fight in a short fight.
Tough on the head, Song Jun is really not an opponent of Jin Bing. Originally, relying on the city, it could still occupy some advantages. If there is no city...... Anyway, the city is broken, and it is useless to continue to defend it. Therefore, Yue Fei decisively ordered to withdraw from Jinshan County and lead his troops to retreat to Shimen Pass. He and Zhang Gendarmerie divided into two routes, one guarding Shimen Pass and the other guarding Juyong Pass, forming a flanking attack on Ruzhou. If the Jin soldiers attack Shimen Pass, Zhang Xian can send troops to attack and harass, and vice versa......
After paying more than 2,000 lives, Wanyan Lou finally took Ruzhou.
But Ruzhou has become a ruin, and when Yue Fei withdrew, there was a fire, burning most of the county seat of Jinshan and was in ruins. Looking at the ruins in front of him, Wan Yan Lou couldn't help but smile bitterly. Nominally, he seems to have won and recaptured the county seat of Jinshan. But what is the use of taking back such a broken city, paying two thousand lives for nothing.
In my heart, I suddenly had an ominous premonition: Could it be that my good luck has been exhausted? (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
