Chapter 134: Heavenly Reason Is Intolerable
At dawn, Wanyan Zonghan finally escaped from Huanglong Valley!
He stopped and looked back, and there was smoke billowing from the mountain road behind him. Because of the darkness and the fireworks, he couldn't see what was going on in the valley. But the ears could hear the fierce roars and screams from within!
Forty miles of mountain roads, ten ambushes, killing the Jurchens to throw away their armor and scatter the stars!
Wanyan Zonghan's beard and eyebrows were half burned, his battle robe was half burned black, his cloak had already been thrown away, and the tail of the BMW was burned bald.
He's okay. The guards who followed him on foot to escort him out of the siege were all full of fireworks, and most of them had burns and arrow sores on their bodies.
One after another, many Jurchen soldiers escaped from the valley, most of them were blackened with smoke or the sparks on their bodies were not extinguished, and many more lost their horses and staggered wolves.
Wanyan Zonghan saw that these soldiers, who were usually as mighty and brave as tigers and lions, all sat on the ground slumped and wailed after escaping from the valley, the muscles on his face were as hard as iron, and his teeth were even more clenched.
Soon after, several foot soldiers led a horse and escorted Shi Liai from the valley.
Wanyan Zonghan's expression changed slightly, and he moved to greet him, "Has the mastermind ever been harmless?" β
"Ahem, ahem...... Thanks to the wolf lord Hongfu, his subordinates are safe and sound. Shi Liai was choked by the fireworks, and at this time he coughed non-stop, and hurriedly got off the horse to greet him.
Seeing that Shi Liai escaped safely, Yan Zonghan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a trace of comfort in his heart.
More Jurchens escaped in the valley. Soon after, seven or eight thousand men had gathered at the mouth of the valley. Wanyan Zonghan didn't dare to let them rest for a while, so he immediately reorganized his troops and horses to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to come and pursue. In a hurry to liquidate the generals, the generals above the commander of a thousand lost more than 60 men, and generals like centurions are even more incalculable.
Gao Foliu, who was sent by Wanyan Zonghan to set up an ambush and snipe the pursuers, and three Liao generals and 6,000 strong soldiers, I am afraid that they are already more auspicious; In addition, the two generals Gushen and Yalihai, who were responsible for guarding the two wings of the army and covering the evacuation of the army after the break, have been surrounded by the enemy, and it may be difficult to break through to the sky!
The mood of all the Jurchens was depressed, and unspeakable anger, remorse, and frustration were intertwined, and their hearts were like knives.
"Wolf master, this place should not stay for a long time, it is better to withdraw quickly!" Shi Liai admonished.
Wanyan Zonghan nodded plausibly, but did not answer, his eyes stared straight at the mouth of the valley where the Jurchens kept escaping.
Shi Liai glanced at it and knew that Wanyan Zonghan could not rest assured that there were many soldiers trapped in the valley in the valley and the sea in the house, so he said: "You can let the general of the Wumur lead 3,000 men and horses to meet the rest of the soldiers here, and the wolf lord will lead his troops to retreat to the Pingding army first, where there are 30,000 border troops garrisoned by my Dajin country, the wolf lord might as well invite his subordinates to stabilize the formation and rectify the troops and horses, and then make a good plan." β
"Hey-" Wanyan Zonghan finally let out a long sigh and slammed his fist on the saddle.
How much hatred and chagrin is contained in this sigh, which only Shi Liai can understand.
Today's defeat can be said to be the biggest defeat since the founding of the Dajin Kingdom, and it can also be said to be the only war that can truly be called a "defeat", and it is also the first defeat that Wanyan Zong Hanrong has suffered since half his life!
But it was defeated by the remnants of the first brigade of the southern country and the grass robbers who occupied the mountains, and the defeat was so miserable!
After Yan Zonghan, can you not sigh?
β¦β¦
Soon after, the Jurchens who escaped from the valley brought out two even worse news: the general was killed in the melee! Someone saw him suddenly go crazy and knock him to the ground by the war horse he was riding, and then, an extremely huge black shadow like a demon god jumped out of the mountain forest, grabbed the sea in the house and twisted his limbs, and then raised the top of his head and tore it in half!
Hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan was stunned! ββCould it be that there are some mountain monsters in the sea in the house?
Another bad news made Wanyan Zonghan's mood fall to the bottom - one of his right-hand men, the marshal of the Western Route Army, Wanyan Gushen, was captured by a leader of the Taihang Caokou! The leader captured the god of grains and said to the Jurchens, saying that he was Xue Yu, the drunken sword king of Taihang Qixing Mountain!
Wanyan Zonghan inhaled deeply, in order to tease his manic mood. Shi Liai hurriedly persuaded Wanyan Zonghan to calm his anger, and retreated first for the sake of the overall situation.
Soon after, Wanyanzong led the remnants of more than 10,000 remnants that had just been assembled to retreat to the northeast, leaving the general's chamber to collect remnants and snipe pursuers after the mouth of the Huanglong Valley was broken.
At this time, halfway up the mountain in Huanglong Valley, Guan Shan, Bai Xu, and many leaders who had won and returned to Jiexun all laughed loudly.
"The battle of Huanglong Valley has beaten the invincible Wanyan Zonghan to a pulp! I'm finally out of breath! Guan Shan smiled happily, "It's all up to the military advisor's clever calculations, and the brothers are mighty and brave to kill the enemy, it's really happy!" β
The leaders laughed loudly, so happy!
Bai Xu laughed twice and said: "In the past, there was a widespread rumor in Hebei, saying that 'the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible'. Today, our brothers worked together to break this myth - or rather a nonsense, and dealt a severe blow to the Jurchens! As far as Xiao Sheng knew, this was the first major defeat of the Jurchen tribe since the beginning of the army; At the same time, it is also the first defeat in Wanyan Zonghan's career! ββThe battle of Huanglong Valley will definitely allow me to wait for Taihang heroes and move the world! β
"Having said that, if it weren't for Wanyan Zonghan's vitality being greatly injured when he attacked Taiyuan, and he was dragged half to death by Wang Yu, Chu Tianya and others, we wouldn't have been able to win." Guan Shan said, "There are also the good men of Xishan, Brother Meng Qige and Second Brother Ma and others, if they hadn't robbed and burned the grain and grass that the Jurchens had hoarded in Shuozhou and stabbed this fatal knife in their hearts, Wanyan Zonghan would not have been defeated in Huanglong Valley." β
"Big brother is right." Bai Xu smiled and said, "Today's victory depends on the cooperation of the heroes of Taiyuan, Xishan and Taihang Zhuzhai, all of which are indispensable. Having said that, we can't forget the original man of God who was scheming and premeditated, and it was he who anticipated the enemy's opportunity and connected us and the other three parties into one, so that today's happy ending was achieved! β
"Hey, why hasn't the person sent to Taniguchi to find out the news come back yet? Chu Tianya's side, I don't know how the battle is going! Guan Shan immediately said, "As the military advisor said, the greatest credit for this victory should be attributed to Chu Tianya!" β
"yes!" All the leaders nodded and smiled together, and responded frequently.
At this moment, a pawn came to report that Xue Yu, the master of Sanzhai, had captured a general of the Jurchens before the battle, and took him to the mountain to be imprisoned first!
When Guan Shan and the others heard this, there was another hearty laugh, only Bai Xu Meiyu pondered slightly, patted the fan and smiled indifferently without saying a word.
At this time, the battle in the Yellow Dragon Valley was nearing the end, although it was a little regrettable that Yan Zonghan could not be killed or captured alive, but the victory in front of him was much beyond everyone's expectations. Guan Shan also listened to Bai Xu's proposal of "accept it when it is good, and chase after the poor", and ordered Jiao Wentong, the chief of soldiers and horses in Taihang Zhuzhai, to lead several leaders and 3,000 men and horses to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the remnants of the bandits, focusing on not letting go of the war horses and weapons abandoned by the Jurchens. These things are extremely rare and valuable resources for cottages!
Since Jiao Wentong was already in charge of the overall situation, Guan Shan had been waiting for news from Chu Tianya for a long time, so he simply took Bai Xu and other leaders to Chu Tianya to take a look. In order to prevent accidents, Guan Shan also ordered 2,000 people to accompany him, and if necessary, he could help Chu Tianya in the battle.
Because there was a huge fire between the two battlefields, Guan Shan and the others could only take a detour through the mountain path.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the battle on Chu Tianya's side was also coming to an end.
Gao Foliu and others took six thousand strong soldiers and fell into Chu Tianya's encirclement, although the fighters were lost, but there were a lot of bad people, even kneeling and waiting to be cut off, and it was not possible to kill them all in a while between this narrow mountain road. Therefore, the battle lasted all night, and the Taiyuan soldiers also paid a certain price for casualties before the 6,000 men and horses were completely defeated and wiped out.
Just like the military order issued by Chu Tianya, not a single one will be left!
Chu Tianya walked down from the mountainside, ready to celebrate this hard-won victory with his brothers.
Just when many Taiyuan soldiers had just wiped the blood on the corpses of the enemy, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the valley ahead, heading straight for Chu Tianya and the others.
The soldiers vigilantly drew their swords and guns and waited for the team, but when the group of men and horses approached, many people shouted cheers - "It's our own people!" β
That's right, the team that came here was all dressed as Song soldiers!
The soldiers did not know why, and they were naturally happy to see their own people's armor and banners; But Chu Tianya and Wang Xun's faces have changed!
"Tianya, you go quickly!" As soon as Wang Xun saw the people and horses coming from the opposite side at a glance, he hurriedly urged Chu Tianya, "I know this person who came, it is the famous commander of the Yao family army of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, Yao Gu!" β
Chu Tianya stared at the front with slightly heavy eyebrows, and said lightly: "So, it should be the royal division sent to Taiyuan by the imperial court?" β
"Since Yao Gu has arrived here, it means that they have already been to Taiyuan, or have completely taken over Taiyuan." Wang Xun was anxious, "The court will not let you go!" β¦β¦ Don't say more, you go! β
Chu Tianya frowned, "I'm leaving, what should you do?" If they do not spare me, how can they spare your father and son? β
Wang Xun gritted his teeth fiercely, vigorously pushed Chu Tianya, pushed him away from the conspicuous flag, and then glared at him angrily, gritted his teeth and shouted: "You go quickly!" If we were all caught today, it would be the end of it! You hurry up and turn to Taihang, if we have any mistakes, you can also unite with the heroes of Taihang to rescue us! β
Chu Tianya was already weak to a certain level, and he was almost pushed to the ground by him. Seeing that the team of people on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, a banner with the word "Yao" at the head could also be seen clearly. Chu Tianya didn't have time to think about it, nodded at Wang Xun, wiped his body into the crowd, and ran towards the mountains and forests.
Many soldiers saw and heard the actions and conversations between Wang Xun and Chu Tianya, but no one made a fuss and questioned it, but spontaneously gathered in a circle to protect Chu Tianya to death, and surrounded a human wall to cover Chu Tianya's escape.
More than 100 days of suffering and living together have made all Taiyuan people become friends who trust each other's lives. What's more, most of the people gathered around Chu Tianya were members of his own "Chu Family Army", if it weren't for the fear of exposing the target and causing trouble, there would be many people who would have to flee the mountain with Chu Tianya at the moment!
Yao Gu led a brigade of cavalry to the front, Wang Xun asked the soldiers to put away their swords and guns, and then greeted them with a smile.
"It turned out that Yao Jing was slightly married, and the little nephew was far away." Wang Xun raised his fists and saluted.
The troops stationed in the Western Song Dynasty to resist the Western Xia Kingdom were called the "Western Army", which was one of the few truly combat-effective troops in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Yao family was the famous Jiangmen family in the Western Army. Several generations of the Yao family guarded the western frontier against the Western Xia people, and there were many famous generals among them. Yao Gu made the Xihe Army strategy because of his military exploits, and he is now one of the top generals of the Western Army.
Wang Xun once followed Tong Guan to guard the western frontier with his father, and Wang Yu and Yao Gu were colleagues of the same generation, so they still had some friendship. Therefore, Wang Xun saw Yao Gu and called himself his little nephew, and politely called him "Yao Jing is slightly more public".
Yao Gu rode on the horse, glanced at the group of ragged soldiers in front of him with a solemn expression, and said: "Wang Xunxian's nephew, this general is here by order, but he can only be public and then private-this general will ask you, what about Chu Tianya, who led the troops to attack with you?" β
Wang Xun touched his chin and said with a grin: "He? He is not as big as his little nephew, and he would have died in battle a long time ago! β
"Where's the corpse?" Yao Gu asked.
"Well, who knows!" Wang Xun was stunned and said, "The little nephew hasn't cleaned up the battlefield yet!" β
"Nonsense!" Yao Gu suddenly shouted, "Since the battlefield hasn't been cleared yet, how do you know that he has died in battle?" Ben will know that you are sincere by nature and will not lie, and whenever you lie, you will definitely touch your chin with your hand - say, where is Chu Tianya? β
Wang Xun's expression froze suddenly, he grinned awkwardly and put down the hand that was touching his chin, and said with a dry smile: "The little nephew really doesn't know!" β
"Hmph, you don't know, someone else must know!" Yao Gu said loudly, "Whoever says the trace of Chu Tianya will be rewarded with a first-class bounty of one hundred taels; Those who capture it alive will be rewarded with two hundred taels of two officials! -- Even ordinary sergeants, even van soldiers and native soldiers, are in this case, and they will never break their promises! β
After a long time after the word was released, the audience was quiet, and no one came out to say anything.
Yao Gu couldn't help but be a little stunned: In this world, there are people who are unwilling to be promoted and make a fortune?
Wang Xun secretly sighed, his heart was very happy, and he pursed his lips and said: "The little nephew said that Chu Tianya has died in this valley, and there are brothers who have seen it with their own eyes. A few days of cleaning the battlefield may be able to find the corpse, but Yao Jing is slightly more than a prince who doesn't believe it - brothers, you say, did I lie? β
"Nope!" The sergeants shouted in unison.
Yao Gu was stunned by the drink on the spot, although he was annoyed in his heart, it was not good to attack on the spot, which provoked the anger of the public. These sergeants in front of him are so united, if they provoke a mutiny, it will be very bad. So he said: "Since this is the case, then you take the people and horses back to Taiyuan with me first!" β
"The little nephew obeys the order!" Wang Xun grinned and smiled with his fists, and waved his hand, "Brothers, let's win the victory and return to the city to celebrate!" β
"Oh! - Oh! β
The soldiers of Taiyuan raised their swords and guns and let out a warm cheer.
Wang Xun walked in front of Yao Guma, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yao Jing is a little public, you can rest assured, the swords and guns of our Taiyuan soldiers will not be aimed at their own people - let's go, I will go back with you obediently!" β
With that, Wang Xun strode forward, leading a group of tattered and skinny brave soldiers behind him, walking all the way, cheering loudly all the way.
Yao Gu rode on his horse and looked at the scene in front of him, let out a deep sigh, and silently turned his horse's head and turned back.
Halfway up the mountain, Chu Tianya, Guan Shan and the others stood in the shadow of a big tree, silently watching the scene in front of them, speechless for a long time.
"At the end of the world, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood." Guan Shan persuaded, "Let's go back to the cottage with my brothers to settle down first, and then come to find a way to rescue the Wang family father and son!" β
Chu Tianya nodded, his eyes were still staring straight at the bottom of the mountain, and he said a sentence word by word-
"If the father and son of the Wang family can also be convicted, then the immortality of the Great Song Dynasty will really be intolerable!"
