Chapter 124: The Attack of the Finished Yan Lou Room

There are more than 100,000 troops in Luoyang, tens of thousands of regular troops, and more than 100,000 righteous troops, and their strength is not weaker than tens of thousands of Jurchen troops. If you deal with it properly, you can definitely hold Luoyang.

But the heavens also seem to be on the side of the Jurchens. Zong Ze belittled Jinghu, and Chen Kui, who was born in Jinshi, took over as Xijing. But Chen Quan can't convince the public. Zhao Shilong and Li Wang led more than 30,000 rebel troops to follow Zong Ze's orders and rushed to the aid of Yingtian, trying to share the pressure of the people's army. And Lu Qing, the first fierce general under Zong Ze, fell out with Chen Quan again, and led the most elite 30,000 regular troops to leave Luoyang and stationed in Mengjin to guard the imperial mausoleum of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Chen Quan started the idea of Zhang Yong's soldiers and horses again, and sent someone to invite Zhang Yong into the city to discuss matters, but he ambushed the knife and axe hand at the banquet, trying to kill Zhang Yong and his wife. As a result, the incident was not secret, and Zhang Yong found out, and Zhang Yong was angry and led the army to attack Luoyang City. Although Chen Quan held Luoyang, Zhang Yong's 30,000 righteous troops also left Luoyang and stationed Yanshi.

Zong Ze was less than a month away from Luoyang, and Luoyang's military affairs were already in chaos. The rebels and the regular army began to be suspicious of each other, and the army of more than 100,000 people had become scattered. What's even worse is that Chen Quenched the grain and grass of the righteous army, and tens of thousands of righteous soldiers could only loot the people's grain everywhere in order not to starve to death. Zong Ze finally turned a thief into an army, but Chen Quan quickly turned an army into a thief.

At such a moment, the 50,000 Jurchen army of Wanyan Lou's room sneaked thousands of miles, suddenly appeared in the territory of Shaanzhou, and defeated the famous rebel Shao Xing in a battle. Shao Xing died at the hands of Wanyan Yan's mother.

The Jurchen army marched into Luoyang at a whirlwind speed, and the troops were divided into two roads on the road, Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Yanmu led an army of 30,000 to Mengjin, and Wanyan Sali and Xi Room led an army of 20,000 to take Yichuan directly.

When Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Yan's mother were killed under Mengjin City, Lu Qing couldn't hold out. However, Wanyan Lou sent 3,000 Jurchen troops to excavate the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty. If the imperial tomb is dug up, even if Lu Qing guards Mengjin City, it will be difficult to escape the fate of one of the three clans. Lu Qing had no choice but to lead the army out of the city. The soldiers on both sides engaged for half a day, and the Jurchen soldiers feinted to retreat. Lu Qing was originally a fierce general, and he was able to kill, but he didn't know what the plan was, so he led 5,000 cavalry to chase after the gold soldiers. After chasing more than ten miles, Wanyan Lou's handsome flag waved, and three thousand heavy armor counterattacked the Song army, the Song army was defeated, and Lu Qing died in the chaos. Almost at the same time, Wanyan Sari and Xi also defeated General Gong Xin, who was stationed in Yichuan. The two Jin soldiers almost killed at the same time under the city of Luoyang.

At this time, there were a total of 40,000 defenders in Luoyang, and if Chen Quan dealt with it properly, relying on Luoyang Jiancheng, he could definitely defend it for a year and a half. However, Chen Quan was uncertain in the battle, first sent 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to meet the Jin soldiers, and did not have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and took the lead in retreating when the defeat was slightly revealed, resulting in 10,000 of the most elite soldiers being killed under the city of Luoyang. As a result, the morale of the defenders was greatly demoralized. Wanyan Lou seized this opportunity and sent the most elite Jurchen ironclad army to carry the ladder and bravely climb first. Luoyang, known as the city's fortified city, fell under the attack of the Jin soldiers in one day. Chen Quan finally did the right thing at this time. He knelt facing south, drew his sword and committed suicide.

Wanyan Lou's room stopped in Luoyang City for five days, robbed Luoyang City again, and reorganized 780,000 troops to serve as a signing army. Immediately waved the army and took the Yanshi directly. Zhang Yong didn't want to lose people and horses, and was ready to hold the city.

Yizhang Qing said angrily, "In life, you must be affectionate and righteous to be a husband." Golden Dog went east this time, and the target was not Bianliang, but Yue Fei. Don't say that you and Yue Fei still have the same friendship. Just by virtue of the great grace that sent you a war horse, you should also go out of the city to stop the attack. Don't dare to fight if you are afraid of money, you are called Zhang Reckless! If you don't dare to go out of the city, I will lead 4,000 cavalry to fight, and even if you die under the city, you must let the golden dog see the iron bones of my Xiangzhou son! ”

The words were red-faced. The husband and wife led only 4,000 cavalry and went out of the city to meet the Jurchen vanguard Wanyan Yanmu.

When Wanyan Yan's mother saw Yizhangqing, she immediately laughed wildly, "The Song people have even gone to the battlefield with women, so it can be seen that there is no one in the Song family!" ”

After a bloody battle, Zhang Yong folded more than 1,000 cavalry and could only retreat into the city. Wanyan Lou Room led a large army to arrive, and immediately attacked Yanshi City. The Jurchen elite drove the cannon fodder of the signing army, and the ants attached to the siege. Zhang Yongzhang was dressed in heavy armor and always stood on top of the city.

This time, Zhang Yong actually blocked Yan Lou's room for ten days. If there was no Zhang Yong's obstruction, it may be that Zhang Xian had not yet defeated Wang Jun, and Bianliang would have fallen into the hands of Wanyan Lou's room.

Ten days later, the city of Yanshi was broken. Almost all of the 30,000 rebels were killed. Only at the last moment, Zhang Yong and his wife led the only remaining 900 cavalry to withdraw from Yanshi County and retreat to Zhengzhou.

Wanyan Lou's room was also stirred up by Zhang Yong, and led five thousand elite horsemen to chase after him. At this time, the defenders in Xijing had confirmed the news of the loss of Luoyang, and the people were panicked and had no intention of fighting. Zhang Yong retreated to Zhengzhou, but found that the rebel Pang Bingbu, who was supposed to be stationed in Zhengzhou, had long since disappeared.

In desperation, Zhang Yong could only retreat. If it weren't for Zhao Shilong and Li Wang to answer Zhang Yong, it is estimated that Zhang Yong and Yizhang Qing would have died under the pursuit of Wanyan Lou's room.

In order to defend Bianliang, Zong Ze once set up 36 large camps between Bianliang and Luoyang Zhengzhou. Each camp is garrisoned by tens of thousands, and at least by thousands. The camps are separated by more than ten miles from each other, and they can echo each other.

But facts have once again proved that even the most perfect defensive front will not play a role if it encounters an incompetent general. When Zong Ze was demoted to Luoyang, Du Chong recalled the rebel army in the camp to Bianliang or eliminated most of them. Thirty-six large camps looked well-organized, but half of them were empty.

Zhao Shilong and Li Wang marched extremely slowly because they were all infantry. Although these two people are not generals, they are extremely serious. Don't look at Zong Ze killing their brother, they are loyal to Zong Ze. When they came to Yuanyang County, they were surprised to find that seven of the 12 battalions in Yuanyang County had been abandoned, and two of the remaining five battalions had become residences for the homeless, and there were only more than 1,000 old and weak soldiers in the three. At this time, the news of the fall of Luoyang had reached the ears of Zhao Shilong and Li Wang. The two discussed it for a while, thinking that if Jin Bing wanted to attack Bianliang, he must pass through Yuanyang.

Zhao Shilong said angrily, "The imperial court has no way, and it has joined forces with the golden dog to attack the Protector Army. Yue Pengju is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the sect marshal and the patron saint of the people of the Central Plains. When Zong Shuai was leaving, he told you and me that if I have nowhere to go, you can go to Yingtian. It can be seen that Zong Shuai also pinned his hopes on Yue Pengju to resist the Jin soldiers. Brother Li, if we continue to go to Yingtianfu, Yuanyang will be in no danger to defend, and if Bianliang is lost, Yingtian will be in danger. I think we should stay in Yuanyang and then send someone to Yingtian to warn. We are only a civilian army, and the two of us are not generals. But we are also Central Plains men, even if we can't stop the Jin soldiers, we have to let the Jin soldiers shed a few basins of blood in the territory of Yuanyang. ”

Li Wang responded, "Brother Zhao's words are exactly what I want. My brother was infamous for harming the village. I, the younger brother, will make atonement for his sins. I want to earn back the title of a hero for the Li family. ”

The two of them had agreed to complete the renovation of the twelve camps, each with at least 1,500 garrisons. The three most important camps were each garrisoned with 5,000 troops.

As soon as the arrangements were made, Zhang Yong's defeated soldiers fled to Yuanyang. Zhao Shilong and Li Wang were shocked when they saw that the famous Zhang Mangdang had relied on the fortified city to resist the Jin soldiers for ten days, and there were only 800 cavalry left.

Although Zhang Yong is also a bit ambitious, he was chased by Wanyan Lou for hundreds of miles, and he also came out of real fire. He no longer fled to Bianliang, and guarded a large camp with his wife, preparing to use the camp to fight to the death with Wanyan Lou's room again.

Wanyan Lou Room deserves to be a famous Jurchen general, divided the Jurchen soldiers and horses into two teams before and after, and faced the twelve large camps that were waiting in Yuanyang, but he besieged but did not attack, and ordered the tens of thousands of signed troops gathered along the way to surround the camp, and led the front army to pass through the gap in the camp, putting on a posture of going straight to Bianliang. When Zhao Shilong's four generals led the rebel army out of the camp to attack the signing army, Wan Yan Sali, who was in the rear, suddenly followed like lightning, and Wan Yan Lou also returned to the army to attack, defeated the rebel army in one fell swoop, and pursued with the tail, directly breaking through the three most important rebel camps.

After all, the rebel army is not a regular army, and it may be invincible when fighting a smooth battle, and it may be extremely tenacious to hold on to the battalion, but once it loses the battle, it often can't stop the car.

Zhao Shilong's four people are like this, after being defeated by Yan Lou's room, they can no longer hold their ground. Within three days, all the twelve large battalions in Yuanyang fell into the hands of the enemy. Li Wang died at the hands of Wanyan Yan's mother.

The Jurchen army has won many battles and is more vigorous. Wan Yan Lou Room and Wan Yan Sa were in high spirits for a while, and directly shouted the slogan of defeating Ying Tianfu and capturing Yue Pengju alive. They directly ignored Bianliang City, which was separated in the middle. Perhaps in their opinion, Zhang Xian in Bianliang City is not worth mentioning at all.

However, the two also have arrogant capital. When he reached more than 100 miles west of Bianliang City, Luo Yanqing Xiaoshan led more than 3,000 hard soldiers who had just washed the Bianliang Hu people in blood to meet Yan Yanmu. The 3,000 Jurchen pioneers fought a bloody battle against more than 3,000 bald hard-working troops for half a day, and the hard-working troops did not retreat. Zhang Xian then led 10,000 cavalry from Bianliang. but also ran into the brigade of Jin Bing in Yan Lou's room. The two sides took up positions on the plains and engaged in a large-scale cavalry battle. The result was still no suspense, and Zhang Xian retreated. What's even worse is that Dong Xianhua's more than 10,000 cavalry came from the starry night in Dengzhou, but they were still defeated by Wanyan Sali in the first battle. The Protector Army, which had won many battles since its formation, suddenly became a vulnerable army.

Of course, it would be incorrect to say that it is vulnerable. Although the cavalry of the more than 20,000 Protectors was defeated, they were not defeated. More than 10,000 cavalry retreated into Bianliang City, and more than 5,000 cavalry retreated into various camps, joined the rebels who came from all directions, and stopped in front of the Jurchen iron cavalry.

Wanyan Lou's room didn't dare to drive straight in this time. The Protectors were defeated three times, but none of them were defeated. More than 3,000 Protectors were killed, and the casualties of the Jurchen Army also reached 3,000. More importantly, the courage of the Protectors in battle broke the hearts of those who were as arrogant as Yan Lou.

"According to the Protector Army's courage and combat power, it is definitely not inferior to my Dajin elite. This time, if we want to take Bianliang, we may have to shed a lot of warrior blood. ”

Wanyan Yan's mother said disdainfully, "What the general said is wrong. If the Protector Army is really so capable of fighting, it will not be defeated again and again in front of our army. ”

Wanyan Lou said sternly, "The reason why our army can win is not that our army is more capable of fighting than Zong Han's middle route army, and it is more desperate than Zong Bi's east route army, but that our army has taken a big advantage. ”

"What's cheap?" Wanyan Yan's mother asked.

"Because our army is facing a tired army. A victorious but exhausted Protector Army. Wan Yan Lou said happily.
