Wan Yan Yan's mother happened to be in the rear army, and did not follow Wan Yan Gao to the front of the battle, when she heard an earth-shattering loud noise, and then the front army was defeated and retreated, and she hurriedly sent people to collect the front army.

Listening to the big beam, there are powerful firearms that can hit more than two miles away, and more than a dozen clan generals such as Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongpan were killed, so they naturally didn't believe it.

Immediately sent a team of soldiers and horses to test again, and saw that the artillery completely blocked the valley, hesitated for a while, and directly collected the troops and retreated to Bei'anzhou, and also sent people to Huining Mansion to get ideas.

The two roads of Gubeikou and Yuguan are on the defensive, and the soldiers and horses on the grassland road led by Dong Ping on the other road are on the offensive, and they are fierce and aggressive.

After Yan Zongwang's battle report of the attack on Yuguan reached the grassland road, Dong Ping immediately led his troops to attack the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the former Liao State.

Wan Yanyu had also led his troops to Linhuang Mansion, and he knew that the power of the Jurchens was in the charge, not in defending the city. Therefore, in the face of 110,000 soldiers and horses on the grassland road, Wan Yanyu brazenly chose to go out of the city to meet the attack.

The vassal army of the grassland road also received weapons allocated by the Ministry of War, but the imperial court lacked iron armor, and only equipped them with leather armor and horse chopping swords.

After Daliang set up the grassland road, the disputes between the various departments were still continuous, and there were often tribal fights, killing and injuring people. The imperial court did not interfere in the internal strife of the various ministries, but it strictly forbade large tribes to annihilate and annex small tribes.

If it weren't for Dong Ping's suppression as the chief soldier of the grassland road, the 100,000 vassal army would have been in a scuffle.

When the two armies fought, the problem of the vassal army was exposed, and no one in the various tribes wanted to fight to the death, and they all wanted the hostile tribes to die.

The 100,000 barbarians were actually scattered by 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and fled for more than 30 miles.

If it weren't for Wan Yanyu's worry that he would go deep into the grassland and be surrounded and annihilated by various departments, I am afraid that the Jin army would be able to chase and kill to the edge of the sky.

Dong Ping also understood the intention of the grassland, the main force of this decisive battle was the barbarians, and the 10,000 cavalry under his command did not participate in the battle, and after seeing the rout of the various departments, they also withdrew from the battlefield as soon as possible.

After the Jin soldiers stopped pursuing, Dong Ping ordered to gather the rout. Gather the heads of the tribes.

When the leaders of the various tribes came to Dong Ping, they began to complain that the other tribes had fled, and they led the warriors of their tribes.

"Shut up."

Dong Ping shouted, glared at the leaders of the various departments, and said, "One hundred thousand against twenty thousand, and it was actually a big defeat to be killed." This is a defeat that Daliang has never had, this defeat is not because you can't beat the Jin soldiers, but because someone wants to preserve their strength, does not listen to the general's orders, and escapes from the battle. ”

said. Pointing to a tribal leader, he said, "You say, what is the crime of escaping from the battle?" ”

The faces of the tribal leaders who were pointed out changed, and after they joined the vassal army, they all studied the military discipline of the Great Liang, and said: "Capital crime, not our ......"

"Shut up."

Dong Ping shouted: "You have not received the order to retreat, even if there is only one person left, you have to fight." Those who escape from the battle will be killed without mercy, and you will fight for my first time. Mitigate the penalty. Ten people in each department will be beheaded one person, and the next time they commit another offense, the whole army will be beheaded. ”

When the leaders of the various departments heard Dong Ping say that ten people were going to kill one person, several people immediately shouted.

Dong Ping saw that someone dared to object, and shouted: "Take down a few of them." ”

The surrounding soldiers heard Dong Ping's order. Pounce on the tribal leader at once.

A tribal leader saw Dong Ping's face full of murderous intent, pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and fought with Dong Ping's own soldiers.

Several other tribal leaders hesitated, but they did not dare to tie their hands. They drew their swords and fought with Dong Ping's own soldiers, but they did not bring escorts and soon fell into the encirclement of Dong Ping's personal soldiers.

The tribal leaders howled. I hope the other tribal leaders will help.

Dong Ping looked at the leaders of the various departments with murderous intent, and said, "Who wants to rebel?" ”

He didn't have a good impression of the various tribes of the grassland, but after receiving Chao Yong's secret order to reduce the population of the various departments, he was even more fearless. If you are obedient, you can also become a knife in his hand, and if you resist, he will not be merciful.

The leaders of the various tribes saw that Dong Ping had the posture of killing them all, and they all lowered their heads to avoid Dong Ping's eyes, they all left their guards outside when they came, and if there was a real conflict, the Han people would definitely be able to kill them before their guards rushed in.

Dong Ping saw that no one jumped out again, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Marhusi." ”

When the leader of the Kereh tribe, Marhusi, heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Dong Ping said: "How many people are in the vassal army in the Kereh Division? ”

Marhusi was appointed by Chao Yong as the inspector of the Kereh Department, and he also commanded all the Kereh people in the vassal army, his face changed, and he said: "Twenty-five thousand people, some of them died in the battle just now. ”

Dong Ping nodded and said, "You led your troops to exterminate those rebellious tribes, and the population of their tribes was also given to you." In an hour, I would like to see two thousand five hundred heads of your tribe. ”

When Mar Husi heard this, he couldn't help but think about it, the few tribes that resisted were neither big nor small, and the population left in the grassland was tens of thousands, and with Dong Ping's support, they would definitely be able to be annexed. Just killing 2,500 people from the tribe is more difficult to choose.

While Malhusi was still thinking about it, a big man had already jumped out and said, "I am willing to lead troops to exterminate them, and I will also kill two thousand of our people." ”

It was the Mongol tribe of Hebul Khan who spoke, and almost unified the Mongol tribes.

Seeing that Hebul Khan wanted to rob those tribes, Marhusi Khan hurriedly said, "I'll go now." ”

With that, he strode out.

Chao Yong asked Dong Ping to be the main wary of the Mongolian Department, how could Dong Ping let the Mongolian Department grow stronger, glanced at Hebule, and said angrily: "Keep the gold killers, within an hour, I want to see the heads sent by the various departments, if you dare to run away or rebel, Daliang will send troops to wipe them out, and all the women and children of the tribe will be beheaded." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to let the leaders of the tribes stand down.

Several leaders of the rebellion have been dismembered by Dong Ping's personal soldiers, these tribal barbarians may be more powerful than Dong Ping's personal soldiers on the horse, but they are no match for Dong Ping's personal soldiers on the ground.

The leaders of the various departments were afraid that Dong Ping would regret it, so they left quickly.

Leaving Dong Ping's sight, the leader of the Naiban tribe caught up with Hebul Khan and said, "Do you really want to kill your own people?" ”

The largest tribes in the steppe are the Naman, Kereh, Mongol, Tatar, Murbeg, Ugu, and Dilie.

Hebul Khan said: "The soldiers and horses of Daliang are more than all the population of the grassland, and all the tribes are feuds, and I don't know how many people have defected to Daliang like the Kereh Department, we can't resist them, we can only listen to them." Besides, since we have taken other people's money, we have to work for others. ”

When he had finished speaking, he mounted his horse and ran to the place where his tribe's soldiers and horses were stationed.

Soon. On the prairie, there was another fight.

The tribes could not unite, and no one dared to resist the rule of the Great Liang, so they could only kill their own people. But there are many tribes under the major tribes, and no one wants to kill the people of their own tribe, but to take some small branch tribes, but the small tribes are not willing to die for the big tribes.

The strength of the big tribe is still superior, and within an hour, all the ministries have sent their heads one after another.

In the battle with the Jin soldiers, the 100,000 vassal army only killed and wounded a few thousand, but Dong Ping's military order made more than 10,000 people beheaded in different places. There were also several tribes that wanted to rebel against Dong Ping and were completely annihilated.

More than 10,000 heads were piled together, like a small hill, and they also frightened the people who carried the heads.

The various departments have already set up camp, Dong Ping watched the leaders of the various departments who rushed to hand over the order arrive, and then said: "The military discipline of the Great Liang cannot be violated, and if you dare to escape from the battle next time, you will be killed." ”

The leaders of the various departments also had a lot of rules, and they only obeyed the orders.

Dong Ping looked at the leaders of the various departments who had tamed a lot, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow we will attack Linhuang Mansion again." Quasi-victory is not allowed to lose, without my order, fight to the death and do not retreat. ”

In fact, the leaders of the various tribes are not afraid of the Jinren, but they just don't want to damage their own strength. Previously they were armed with scimitars. The bone arrow dared to attack the Liao State, and now he was wearing leather armor and holding a sophisticated horse chopping knife, except for the girders with firearms. None of them were afraid.

was killed by Dong Ping, and no one dared to preserve his strength anymore.

The next day, Dong Ping led more than 80,000 vassal troops to Linhuang Mansion.

Wan Yanyu originally thought that the Liang soldiers and horses would be rectified for a few days. I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and immediately led the golden soldiers out of the city for ten miles to meet the battle.

This time, Wan Yanyu discovered that the fierceness of the grassland tribes, archery skills were similar to theirs, but their equestrian skills were much better than those of them who grew up in the mountains and forests. In the scuffle, the fierceness was no worse than theirs, and what was even more shameless was that they took the horse chopping knives carefully crafted by the Han people, and the iron armor could be cut by these barbarians.

After fighting for more than an hour, Yan Yu found that Jurchen was invincible and completely scaring nonsense. The 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command were all Jurchen soldiers, and once they became entangled with the various departments of the grassland, they would also fall off the horses one by one.

Looking around, there are fewer and fewer Jurchens, and there are more and more people in the various tribes of the grassland. Wan Yanyu didn't dare to fight anymore, so he let the herald behind him blow the horn and retreat.

More than 80,000 vassal troops and 20,000 Jin troops fought in the grasslands for more than ten miles, and after the killing was inseparable, Dong Ping appeared on the hill on the side of the battlefield with 10,000 cavalry.

"Woo woo"

The battlefield sounded a majestic horn, and the entangled golden soldiers fled from the battlefield one after another.

Dong Ping saw that the Jin people were going to escape, and he couldn't bear it anymore, raised his right handgun, and shouted: "Kill." ”

He was originally a person who loved to charge into battle, and he was a general soldier all the way, but he had to be forced to press behind, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Wan Yanyu had just killed the battle group under the protection of his own soldiers, when he heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the side, he turned his head to see that it was the Han cavalry who had been recuperating and recuperating rushing towards him, and he didn't dare to fight again, so he fled to Linhuang Mansion after hitting the horse.

Dong Pingbu's recuperated war horses were undoubtedly much faster than the war horses that had been entangled by the Jin soldiers for more than an hour, but the distance they intercepted and ran in the oblique spurs was also farther, and the Jurchens fought desperately, and some of the Jin soldiers still ran to the front.

The Jin soldiers in the back naturally had all the grassland departments to kill, and Dong Ping's goal was Wan Yanyu, who ran at the front. However, when he chased to the outside of Linhuang Mansion, the jack gate that fell violently stopped Dong Pingbu and cut off the retreat of the Jin soldiers behind.

In order to prevent the girder from blowing up the city gate, the Jin State added a jack gate to the frontier fortress. Of course, the jack gate is only more difficult to blow up than the city gate, but it requires more gunpowder. Jin Guo also knew about the situation, but they couldn't think of a better way.

Dong Ping collected his soldiers and horses, ordered the steppe tribes to kill all the Jin soldiers who could catch up outside the city, and then let the Mongol Hebul Khan listen to the order.

Hebul led the Mongols to gather on Dong Ping's flank, beat horses to Dong Ping, and learned from the Liang people to hold their fists and salute.

Dong Ping nodded and said, "You take people to fill in a section of the moat, so that the sappers can approach the city wall and use gunpowder." ”

"Yes"

Hebul did not hesitate, clenched his fists and led his orders, and soon the Mongols drove their horses to the moat.

The golden soldiers at the head of the city saw someone rushing over, and shot arrows down without money.

Hebule is not stupid, first fill the river with war horses, and then fill it with soil in the cloth bags prepared by the girders, and soon fill in the road that is more than a foot wide.

The war horses of the vassal army were all purchased from the ministries at the expense of the Liang court, and they were not the property of the ministries. They don't feel bad when they use it.

As soon as the road was paved, two burly men in heavy armor pushed a steel cart towards the city wall.

Wan Yanyu looked at the city and knew what they were going to do, seeing that the bow and arrow were useless, and the catapult couldn't hit. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran down with the Jurchen soldiers in the city.

The Han army defending the city saw that the Jurchen soldiers, who were usually more ferocious than wild beasts, had run away, and they also ran down.

Without any obstacles, the two big men quickly pushed the steel plate under the city wall, lit the fuse, and ran back quickly.

There are really not many people who can run so fast in heavy armor.

The two big men had just run out of Liyu. A loud bang sounded behind him, and the ground shook and the dust flew.

Outside the city, all the tribes of the grassland that were still chasing and killing the Jin soldiers more than ten miles away heard this earth-shattering loud sound, if they hadn't known that the sound of the beam was like a thunderbolt, I am afraid that all the barbarians would lie on the ground and bow to the immortal sky.

After Yan Yu led his troops down the city, he fled to the east gate, preparing to abandon the city and flee back to Huining Mansion, and negotiate with Wanyan Wu to fight against Daliang.

This time the troops are stabbed in the hornet's nest, and all the departments of the grassland alone are enough for the Jurchens to resist with all their might, if Daliang sends another 100,000 soldiers and horses. The Kingdom of Jin is in jeopardy.

Before arriving at the east gate, the gunpowder exploded, and all the war horses in the city were paralyzed to the ground with fright, and feces and urine flowed together.

Wan Yanyu was also crushed to the ground by the war horse. Pushed away the war horse and got up, looked back at the city wall that had fallen behind, and then looked at the appearance of the war horse, and knew that there was no way to use it, so he could only flee on foot with the Jurchen soldiers under his command.

If you stay in the city, you will definitely be beaten to death by the tribes of the steppe. Escape and grab some war horses, maybe you can still escape.

Dong Ping and the others withdrew from Wuli, and even so, some war horses were frightened.

Hebul Khan watched the towering city wall disappear in the distance, and his heart also called for immortality. Fortunately, they didn't make enemies with Da Liang, although they didn't have a city for Da Liang to blow up, but Da Liang could drown them with a mouthful of spit.

Dong Ping'an stroked the war horse under his crotch, and said to Hebule: "You lead your troops to attack the city, and I will enter the city before dark." ”

"Yes"

Hebul Khan saluted respectfully and roared away with the Mongols.

By the time they climbed into the city from the pile of rubble, the Jurchen soldiers in the city had all fled, and most of the Han army had surrendered on the spot.

The various departments outside the city killed many Jurchens, but they failed to catch Yan Yu.

Wan Yanyu led dozens of Jurchen soldiers to break out of the encirclement, and the remaining Jurchen soldiers who did not have war horses were all killed by various departments.

Dong Ping was ordered by Chao Yong's generals to reward each Jurchen head with ten times of money and five times for prisoners.

Although the various tribes of the steppe were savage, they also knew which one was more and which was less, and all they brought back were half-bald heads, and there were no prisoners.

That night, more than 17,000 beheadings were reported by various ministries, and only more than 2,000 did not flee back to Linhuang Mansion after the grassland scuffle was over, but fled directly backwards.

The various departments of the grassland also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, plus Dong Ping's previous killing, after the capture of Linhuang Mansion, more than 70,000 of the 100,000 vassal troops remained.

The army rested overnight in Linhuang Mansion, and did not go south to attack Zhongjing Province, but went east to Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Wu begged to wait for someone on the front line to send back gold, silver or beauties, but he didn't expect Wanyan Zongwang to send troops less than ten days ago, so he sent people back to complain and ask Bo Jilie to withdraw from the army. This road of soldiers and horses can be said to be the descendants of Wanyan Aguta, and the three brothers of Wanyan Zongwang are also leading the troops, and Wanyan Wu Qimai does not doubt their combat effectiveness. Wanyan Zonggan, the minister of state, also knew the martial arts of the three younger brothers, and when he saw Wanyan Zongwang saying that he couldn't beat Yuguan, he also hesitated.

Before the two of them could make up their minds, news came back all the way from Gubeikou that more than a dozen people including Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongpan were killed by the Daliang artillery.

Jin Guoguo has not killed or injured so many clans until now, this time the two of them knew the power of the Liang firearms, and just ordered the two soldiers and horses to withdraw, and Yan Yu fled back with dozens of remnants overnight that night.

The soldiers who were patrolling the night were still in the shock brought by the embarrassed Wan Yan Yu and his party, and they found that Wan Yan Zonggan, the minister of state, also hurried to the palace with people.

The palace that had long been rested was lit up again, and Wanyan Wu begging, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Yu gathered together.

After Ah Gu was killed, the five were extremely fierce, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Gao all died in Gubeikou, and the three of them discussed the major affairs of the Jin Kingdom.

Wan Yan Zonggan still looked at Wan Yan Yu in disbelief and said, "Twenty thousand Jurchen soldiers will come back with dozens of people?" ”

Wan Yanyu said: "There may be some people who escaped, but there won't be too many, I'm afraid that I will delay the big thing, so I will run back day and night, and I don't know what will happen next." ”

Wanyan Wu Qimai also had a headache and said: "The grassland barbarians are more powerful than our Jurchens? ”

Wan Yanyu said: "Their horsemanship is better than ours, and they are as fierce as us in fighting, and they have the armor of the beam, and their weapons are not worse than ours." In the first formation, I led my troops to fight with them in the field, and no one in the grassland wanted to die, so I chased and killed them for thirty miles. Unexpectedly, when they came back the next day, they fought to the death, and the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers couldn't break them up, and finally fell into a heavy siege. If the fight continues, it will definitely be killed by the barbarians, so I had to order a breakthrough to Linhuang Mansion. The gunpowder of the Han people was also very powerful, and the city wall was blown down in one fell swoop, and I couldn't guard it, so I fled back with people again. This battle can't be fought, otherwise Daliang doesn't know how many barbarians he can transfer. ”

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded and said: "I have already asked the other two soldiers and horses to retreat, Xianye and Puluhu were all killed by the Han artillery, the Han people have firearms that can hit more than two miles away, and they were directly killed when they went to watch the battle." ”

Shaking his head, he said: "I didn't expect the Han people's spaceship to break as soon as it was stabbed, but the gunpowder is so powerful." (To be continued)
