Chapter 544: Wind and Clouds (5)
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a thousand rays of light, dyeing this ancient land a golden yellow. \Vertex\Point\(23)(x).com Countless black feathers "croak~~~" screamed and danced constantly on this battlefield filled with a pungent and bloody smell everywhere, like a pet of death enjoying the food given by its owner.
The auxiliary soldiers of the victorious army, who pulled out the long line and cleaned the battlefield with their heads down, walked slowly on the battlefield with their steps stained red with blood. From time to time, he waved the sharp war knife in his hand to send those war horses and golden ** soldiers who were howling about death. Then he would laugh and lean over the corpses and examine them.
When I find something good, I will wipe the blood stains on my clothes with a smile on my face and happily put it in my arms.
If there is nothing to gain, he will spit hard, and then kick a few times with displeasure. Bending down and working with his companions, he lifted the corpses of those golden soldiers and threw them on top of the carts that followed behind him.
Although it is now autumn, the weather is still unusually hot. It is very dangerous for so many corpses to gather together, and if a large-scale plague breaks out, it will be a fatal blow to the land.
Corpses on the battlefield must be disposed of as soon as possible. As the victors, the soldiers who died in battle will be temporarily settled, and then they will soon choose an auspicious day of the zodiac to perform a ritual and send them to Daxiangguo Temple for burial.
As for those Jin Jun corpses, they can only be disposed of as soon as possible.
Not far from the battlefield, a large group of Jin prisoners who had surrendered to the Changsheng army in order to survive were sweating and waving their shovels in their hands, digging deep pits one pit after another in the ground.
They don't dare to work without their lives. Who knows if these pits serve any purpose other than burning corpses? For example, they were buried to make fertilizer for the crops. At least a few of them have done that. Didn't you see the terrifying eyes of the sergeants of the Victorious Army who were watching from the sidelines?
The captives who didn't want to make fertilizer worked harder.
The auxiliary soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield collected the corpses of the Jin army, loaded them into wagons, and transported them to a large pit that was being dug by the captives who surrendered in the distance, poured fire oil, and burned them on the spot.
Black smoke with a disgusting stench curled into the sky. The orange-red flames churned wantonly, and the crackling sound made everyone frown.
After the pit is filled, the captives will wield shovels and cover the pit with a thick layer of soil, and by the next year the harvest will be very good.
Tens of thousands of robbers came to this ancient land full of ambition and **, hoping to satisfy their ambitions. Returned home with a big victory.
But the end result is to leave their precious lives in this ancient land, and while ending their story, they will also turn to dust and provide sufficient nourishment for the land in the coming year.
Success or failure turns around and is just dust.
......
This tragic battle, which took place outside Bianliang City, can be said to have ended the fate of the two countries.
A thriving and morale-boosting country was crushed, and the most important field regiment was almost completely wiped out, and tens of thousands of elite men of their own tribe were lost in battle. One of the most important arms of the Jin Kingdom was cut off by Gao Yang again, which was no longer a pain in cutting flesh for the powerful people of the Jurchen clan. It's all about removing the bones!
On the other side, the Song Dynasty was just the opposite. The country, which was about to be swept into the dust of history, suddenly burst into a new vitality. The first battle brought back all the disadvantages of the previous hundred years! This country has been reborn again because of Gao Yang's intervention!
The nearly 100,000 troops of the Jin Left Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang were defeated and fled, while the Changsheng army led by Gao Yang won a decisive victory. This is destined to be a victory that will go down in history! Its significance is no less than that of Feng Wolf Juxu and Le Shi Yanran!
Wanyan Zongwang himself was angry on the battlefield. vomiting blood and unconscious. Surrounded by the guards, he fled all the way out of more than 100 miles. After the entire Left Route Army was beheaded and seriously wounded, more than 40,000 Jin ** soldiers fell on the battlefield. After there was no hope of escape, nearly 30,000 people knelt down and surrendered.
The Jin army that could really flee in all directions and escape under the cover of the sky, and then converged to Wanyan Zongwang's side, was less than 10,000 people.
The rest of the more than 10,000 men who survived the tragic battle and escaped from the battlefield quietly disappeared. Like grains of salt sprinkled into the waters of a lake, they were swallowed up by this ancient and vast land, and they were never heard of again.
It was a bitter battle. The battle loss ratio of the Jin Army is as high as nearly half! In the era of cold weapons, when the battle damage reached two achievements, it could be called a tragic cold weapon, and this battle completely defeated the left army of the Jin State.
By the time Wanyan Zongwang woke up from his coma, the pillar of the Jurchen clan was unable to accept this huge devastating blow under the mixture of horror and anger. After hurriedly explaining a few last words to Yan Chang, he opened his eyes angrily, lay on the bed and shouted "hate!" three times in a row. Hate! Hate! After that, he died with a heart full of unwillingness.
This last famous general of the Jurchen clan took away all the vitality of the Jin Kingdom after the Yan Agu fight.
So far. After the defeat of Yan Zonghan, he suffered heavy losses, and the right army existed in name only. After the defeat of Wanyan Zongwang, he not only suffered heavy losses but also lost his own life, and the Left Route Army almost disintegrated. The two most important field legions of the Jurchen clan were completely crushed by Gao Yang in a few months.
The Jurchen clan, which was originally thriving and had a bright future, was taken as a slap in the face. In a few months, nearly 100,000 adult males were killed in battle, captured and damaged in battle! The entire Jurchen clan has almost six out of ten capable soldiers.
The two armies on the left and right to seize the world and deter everyone were almost completely annihilated. At this moment, apart from the scattered soldiers and the army and horses in the Shangjing City that were personally controlled by Jin Taizong, the Jurchen clan had no other troops available.
After the news of Yan Zongwang's defeat and death came out. The whole world was shaken.
Everywhere under the control of the Jin State began to swell, and military uprisings against the brutal rule of the Jurchens broke out one after another. In the past, the Jurchen strong soldiers, who could deter everyone with their fierce and brutal reputation, have declined.
The new vassals, who had been afraid of the Jurchens' might, also began to turn away. There is a lot of confusion everywhere. In order to compete for benefits, they continued to fight and loot, and the entire northern land was in chaos.
The Jurchens, whose strength was greatly damaged, could no longer afford to continue to maintain such a huge territory, so they had to start a large-scale contraction and deployment, and took the initiative to give up the vast land. Many places have been turned into three-way zones. Thieves swarmed everywhere, and all kinds of kings were everywhere. The Khitans, Xi people, Bohai people, and so on are all ready to move. Even the Western Xia began to send troops to encroach on the land.
The Jurchen magnates had no idea how to deal with the situation. Under the burning eyebrows, some Jurchen magnates proposed to negotiate peace with the Song State, and they could follow the past Liao and Song alliances and sign a brotherly alliance. Song is the brother, and Jin is the brother. Every year, the Jin State pays tribute and the national letter is called a minister, and the two countries will be married for a hundred years.
In any case, let's stabilize the current situation first. After relieving yourself, I'm going to make an end with those southern barbarians!
When the victorious army returned victoriously and the army entered the city, the entire Bianliang City was boiling. It's been a hundred years! Since a hundred years ago, the invincible Dumen Forbidden Army drank hatred under Yanjing City, and the Emperor Song Dynasty had not produced such an invincible strong army for a hundred years!
Sprinkle water to clean the street, the emperor welcomes you!
Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down to greet them, hundreds of officials dressed in uniform and saluted, and the emperor personally led the horse for the lord! This is an ancient rite, a great gift handed down thousands of years ago.
Weak for a hundred years, although he has won many battles, but has never won a decisive battle, the Emperor Song finally won a big victory related to the fortunes of the country! It can't be overstated.
His face was flushed, and Zhao Kai, who was beaming, wore a gorgeous yellow robe and led Gao Yang into the city with his own hands. Originally, it was just a show, and after the Lord would say something, he would dismount and follow the emperor. But Gao Yang didn't care so much, so he sat on the horse and let Zhao Kai perform.
Although Zhao Kai was slandered in his heart, there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. He knew very well in his heart that the current Gao Yang was not something he could offend. The first two emperors are still alive, and he still has dozens of brothers!
Gao Yang can press Zhao Kai to death at any time! After that, whoever you want to be the puppet is fine. Zhao Kai cherishes the chair he is sitting on very much, and he will lead the horse, anyway, his name will be written when this victory is recorded in the history books!
Zhao Kai is very good at enlightening himself, being a puppet is much better than going to the cold palace to Bigu. At least now there are plenty of fish and meat every day, and countless ministers have to kneel down and bow to themselves.
Gao Yang, who looked indifferent, straightened up and sat on the war horse, his gaze swept over Zhao Kai's body. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he raised his eyebrows, revealing a faint smile.
"Why are these people so happy? Just a very ordinary battle? Yuan asked in a puzzled voice.
Gao Yang bent the corners of his eyes, looking at the people of Bianliang who were cheering densely on both sides, and their faces were full of excitement. "That's because they haven't had this honor for too long," he chuckled. ”
"Honor?" Yuan asked softly.
"Hmm." Gao Yang answered, raised his hand and waved it to the side, which immediately triggered a crazy scream. Countless people shouted loudly towards Gao Yang, "King Yan is mighty!" King Yan is mighty!! ”
"They've lost this insanely accolade for too long, and." Gao Yang paused, and then said, "This time it is under their noses, the savior who appeared at a time when their vital interests were seriously threatened, of course, I feel it more deeply. ”
"Are you bragging?" Origin asked speechlessly.
"I'm just average, and I can win with the help of advanced technology." Exhaled lightly, raised his head slightly to look at the clear blue sky, and said softly, "Yue Wumu is the real peerless general, I am not as good as him." (To be continued.) )
