Chapter 111: Taking Jining lightly
"In this battle, our army of 23,000 infantry killed 8,500 and wounded 5,000, of whom 1,200 were seriously wounded. Of the 10,000 cavalry, 1,800 were killed, 2,300 were wounded, and 356 were seriously wounded. ”
Zong Bi took advantage of the night to retreat, but Yue Fei withstood fatigue and stayed on the battlefield. Until the Protectors rescued all the wounded soldiers and put all the dead soldiers on the baggage trucks. Xue Bi, who joined the army, walked up to Yue Fei and said today's casualty figures.
Yue Fei vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot. He has just recovered from a serious injury, and today is considered a killing force. In addition, the number of infantry casualties was far greater than he imagined. Looking at the scarred Protector Army under the torches, Yue Feihu had tears in his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's because I, the boss, are too whimsical that the brothers have to resist the golden soldiers and iron cavalry with their flesh and blood. My sin too! ”
Han Chang said loudly, "What a crime Yue Shuai has! On the battlefield, the dead are good men! With 20,000 infantry to block Zong Bi's more than 10,000 iron cavalry, it is enough to raise his eyebrows. In Han's opinion, the Star Scattering Array has a lot to do. ”
Han Chang's words were not to slap Yue Fei's ass. He really thought that the Star Scattering Array was a good opportunity to deal with the cavalry. Of course, the premise is that there must be a master who is not afraid of life and death. As long as the infantry can make the cavalry fall into the star array, then there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to fight. Because the result of defeat is the total annihilation of the army. The Star Scattering Array forced the infantry to fight for themselves, and everyone had to fight hard for their own survival.
Zhihun and Xin Zan had opposed the Star Formation before the battle, but at this time, they also agreed with Han Chang's words. Because of this battle, the Protector Army did draw with more than 10,000 gold soldiers in a melee without a queue.
Yue Fei's face was still extremely painful. In this battle, more than 20,000 infantry were disabled. The casualties of the petty officers led by the capital head were too great, and almost two-thirds of the number of officers was reduced. This infantry must be fully recuperated. But will the Jin Soldiers give the Protector this chance?
"Yue Shuai, don't worry." Xue Bi saw that Yue Fei's face was not good, and immediately smiled and said, "In this battle, our army beheaded a total of 5,700 golden soldiers. Judging from the last general, Jin Bing is estimated to be injured by everyone. No matter how crazy Zong Bi is, he can only retreat from the army now. From today onwards, the Eastern Route Army has nothing to worry about. ”
Yue Fei nodded slowly. This battle is a lose-lose situation. Zong Bi wanted to attack again, but he didn't have enough spare strength. His only choice was to retreat to Jinan Mansion.
Several lightly injured people walked past Yue Fei with each other's arms. The eyes of these protectors looking at Yue Fei were still full of admiration and fanaticism. Yue Fei smiled at several wounded people, and called out the names of several wounded ones one by one, which made these wounded people burst into tears with excitement.
"Zhuzi, did you hear it, Yue Shuai actually remembered my name. My mother, could it be that my bravery has long been remembered by Yue Shuai? ”
"your Wang Xiaozhu, didn't Yue Shuai also call out the names of a few of us? I heard that Yue Shuai never forgot it, and Yue Shuai remembered all of our 100,000 people's protectors. ”
"Hmm. Fought with Yue Shuai, died without regrets. Except for Yue Shuai, which boss would take an ordinary soldier to heart? ”
"Wang Xiaozhu, you are wrong again. We are not fighting for Yue Shuai, on the contrary, Yue Shuai is fighting for us. For the sake of our homeland and our relatives, Yue Shuai returned to the battlefield despite the initial recovery of his injuries and fought with the golden dog. ”
Yue Fei didn't know that a smile of his own could make many wounded people regain their fighting spirit. Yue Fei couldn't recognize all the soldiers, he just happened to know the wounded. Because those wounded were the first batch of soldiers recruited by Tianfu.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, Ran Qing and Ran Taigong's Ruyi convoy finally arrived here. Ran Qing brought a piece of news that surprised Yue Fei. Zhang Xian was defeated and defeated in the hands of the little-known Flying Eagle Wang Jun. Now that Zhang Xian has retreated to Chenzhou, Xiaoshan Luo Yanqing has rushed to Zhang Xian's aid overnight after killing Jiagutu.
"What is the origin of this flying eagle Wang Jun? Not only can he attack and kill Li Cheng, a double-sword general with extremely high martial arts, but he successfully controls Bianliang, but now even Zhang Xian has been defeated. You must know that although there are not many soldiers under Zhang Xian's command, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Most of Wang Jun's soldiers were Li Cheng's old troops, and in terms of elite, they were far inferior to the Protector Army. Now that Zhang Xian has been beaten back to Chenzhou, such a character seems to be far from being as simple as a villain! ”
Yue Fei finally regarded Wang Jun as a fierce rival, and was no longer just a partial general who framed him. In the original history, Wang Jun once joined the Yue family's army. But it was Wang Jun who framed Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Yue Yun, and dismembered the entire Yue family army. However, judging from the current signs, this Wang Jun is clearly not a simple character. Being able to command a large army to defeat Zhang Xian, this person is no less dangerous than Han Shizhong.
Ran Qing looked at Yue Fei who was deep in thought with a little fascination, half sad and half sweet in her heart. Ran Qing knew that she was not as beautiful as Li Xiao'e, and she was not as happy as Li Xiao'e's mother-in-law. Maybe he could only pass by Yue Fei in this life, but Ran Qing didn't regret it at all. Ran Qing believes that strange men like Yue Fei, just like the ancestor Ran Min, their only mission is to fight for the Han nation, to regain the glory of the Han people in the pre-Han Dynasty, stand up to the sky, and will not bend their knees in front of any nation.
And she, Ran Qing, is willing to be a battlefield couple with Yue Fei. Lee Hyo-e can't go to the battlefield, but she can. As long as she could fight side by side with Yue Fei, she would be satisfied. Ran Qing didn't dare to think about anything else. Unless, as grandpa said, Yue Fei unifies the world, he may marry himself into the palace.
However, will Yue Fei really be like other emperors, with seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courts? Absolutely not. Ran Qing insisted on this for no reason.
Yue Fei also sighed in his heart when he saw Ran Qing, who looked like a little girl. He understood Ran Qing's thoughts. But he only has Li Xiao'e in his heart. The current enemy is not the time for children to grow up.
Yue Fei took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sect Dao, give Zhang Heng an order, let him lead all the rebels who are willing to belong to the Protector Army on Jingxi Road to attack, and turn Jingxi Road into a huge battlefield. Ran Qing, you and Taigong Ran stayed in Yucheng, and trained with Master Zhihun and Master Xin Zan to combine the tactics of the walker. Zhao Hong, let's lead more than 10,000 cavalry troops to Chenzhou. I'm going to meet that flying eagle Wang Jun in person. I want to see what this sculpture is all about! ”
Under the city of Jining, 10,000 fully armored protectors discharged siege formations, ladders, and crashes. After receiving Yue Fei's order, Zhang Heng immediately gathered 10,000 capable battle rebels, distributed armor, and attacked the city of Jining. The guard in Jining City is the former Liangshan thief Li Kui. Zhang Heng held a long knife in his hand, standing thirty steps outside the moat, looking at the defenders at the head of Jining City.
After looking at it clearly, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth. An absolute rabble! It seems that Li Kui's gang has not made any progress in fighting the war except for betraying the country.
"Zhang Heng, you and I used to be in Liangshanbo together, and we can be regarded as friends of life and death. Why are you so hard pressed against me? Have you forgotten the oath that our brothers made on Liangshan? I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year! What you are doing now is making the heroes of the world laugh! ”
Li Kui, a thief from Liangshan who sold Mizhou, made a pitiful appearance with his honest and honest face, trying to reason with Zhang Hengxiao and move him with affection.
Zhang Heng suddenly let out a long laugh, and at the end of the laugh, the whole person was lying on the horse. Li Kui's face showed a fierce light, and he really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Zhang Heng with an arrow. But he didn't dare. Because he knew that Zhang Heng was cautious in his use of troops and was by no means a reckless person. Besides, if you miss a shot, you will really have to fight Zhang Heng to the death. looked at the panicked subordinates on the head of the city, and then looked at the hatred for themselves in the eyes of many soldiers, in the past ten days, he has done a lot of sins in Jining Mansion, once he really fights with Zhang Heng, these strong men who have been forcibly pulled will not only not help themselves, but may also fight back. It is precisely for this reason that the sinister Li Kui finally did not plot against Zhang Heng, but just watched Zhang Heng laugh on the horse.
Zhang Heng finally finished laughing, he wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and said loudly, "Li Kui, I really didn't expect that you would be embarrassed to mention Liang Shanbo and the word brother!" Yes, you and I used to be brothers, we are all under the banner of Brother Song Jiang, and we are against the Zhao Song official family, crisscrossing Jingdong. But I, Zhang Heng, will never forget that I am against the official family of Zhao and Song, but not ordinary people. It is precisely for this reason that Lao Tzu Zhao Song is also opposed, and the golden dog is also killed! But what about you, the famous Black Whirlwind, dedicated the entire Mizhou to the Jin Kingdom, and made hundreds of thousands of Mizhou people become ghosts under the knife of the Golden Dog. Do you still have the face to mention the word brother to me? Phew! You traitor! ”
"Zhao Song lost his morality, and Dajin rose up to replace him, which is in line with the way of heaven. My gold reduction is in response to the heavens. I asked a few heavenly masters, and they all said that Zhao Song should be destroyed, and Dajin should be established. Zhang Heng, have you forgotten how your family died? Why do you want to give Zhao Song Dujun his life? If Zhao Song is unkind, we can be unjust. ”
Li Kui said righteously.
"Shut up! You traitor! Looking at the justice on your face, do you think I don't know that you sold Brother Song Jiang? ”
"You talk nonsense!" Li Kui finally got a little angry!
"Am I talking nonsense? Hmph, let me ask you, why was Brother Song Jiang arrested and cut off his head by Uncle Zhang before he could act, and you, Brother Song's number one cronie, were not only not punished by the imperial court, but had a prosperous official fortune? Zhang Heng sneered.
"That's my Li Kuizu's grave is well buried, so he should be a big official." Li Kui had nothing to say, and finally came to such a sentence.
"It turns out that you still know that your ancestral tomb is buried in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhang Heng continued to scold, "If your ancestors knew that there was a traitor descendant like you, maybe they would be so angry that they would crawl out of the grave!" ”
"Boat Huo'er, don't deceive people too much! Do you think Lao Tzu is afraid that you won't succeed? On Liangshanbo, you are Lao Tzu's defeated men! Li Kui finally stopped begging for mercy and scolded with a hideous face.
"Fifteen days ago, you were my defeated man!" Zhang Heng sneered, "Brothers, let's attack the city!" Before dark, take down Jining Mansion and capture Li Tieniu alive! ”
In the sound of golden drums, groups of rebels carried ladders and weapons, and quickly killed the city. They erected pontoon bridges over the moat at great speed. When Li Kui ordered his subordinates to counterattack with a divine arm crossbow, Zhang Heng threw explosive bags with catapults, and three kilograms of explosives were thrown onto the city in a row, exploding with a bang.
After the warm smoke passed, the black whirlwind Li Kui had disappeared. Only the cannibalistic defenders of the city head remained, and the young Zhuang and Li Kui's old subordinates in Jining Mansion were slaughtered together.
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, "This guy is worthy of being a black whirlwind, and it can run faster than the wind." It seems that this time I can't catch him again. ”
In the middle of March of the third year of Jingkang, Zhang Heng captured the important town of Jining Mansion in half a day with 10,000 righteous troops, and Li Kui only led dozens of his own soldiers to flee to Jinan.
