Chapter 355: Hedong Chaos (1)
Zhang Xian glanced back at him: "Isn't it good to save some energy?" Dressed in a lot of things, before he went into battle, he took off his strength, and he had no heart! ”
Yang Zaixing said with a smile: "I can't use my inexhaustible strength, I might as well ...... The Jurchen Tartars know that they can come and go quickly, they can endure hardships, they can sleep on horses while marching, and they will touch the city if they can't say it, and then they will find the blade of the army, and they will delay the fight. ”
Zhang Xian shook his head and spat again: "The Jurchen Tartars are not livestock!" Today I rolled forty miles, broke seven fortresses, within four days, marched and even fought, two hundred miles down, although it was already warm to the south, but this northern land was cold, and pounced again overnight, Bianliang Xiaoniang threw stones and stoned them to death, they couldn't come tonight! ”
Yang Zaixing nodded: "I can't come tonight, I have to come over tomorrow...... Can you hold it? ”
Zhang Xian glanced around, looking at the refugees in the city full of pits and valleys, looking at the fires burning around, so many people crowded the small Yanggu County, and many of them could not enter the city and could only live in an annex, it seemed that it would be safer to be closer to the city wall.
There are so many refugees, so that the troops cannot be mobilized in the city, it is this city wall, which is low and dilapidated, there are no attached garrison facilities, and the equipment to defend the city is also empty.
Looking at their frightened and self-supporting appearance, I am afraid that as soon as I see the Jurchen banner appear in front of them, it will immediately collapse, no matter from which point of view, this small city that I have never even heard of before will not be able to defend it no matter what.
When the Jurchen military horses pounce, it will only be a one-sided massacre!
Looking at Zhang Xian's gritted teeth and silent, Yang Zaixing asked cautiously: "Why don't we go, the people and land here are always more familiar than the Jurchen Tartars, and the weather is still good." The Jurchen Tartars are not coming over in a big group, looking like this, it is just a temptation of the corner forces of Yan Zonghan, and they will leave when they say they are leaving, what are they still doing here? ”
Zhang Xian glared at him and lowered his voice: "You are now the Jinyang Army!" Sons and daughters in the army. How can you act without a command? The military intelligence here has already returned the monthly bonus, how we act, we have to wait for the general's order! If you're afraid of death, you won't be able to do it, so if you're afraid of death, you'll leave! ”
Yang Zaixing just touched his head and muttered: "You're not afraid, what am I afraid .........of?"
Zhang Xian didn't speak anymore, just stared at the firelight in the distance, in fact, since he was sent to the easternmost part of the town, he had the power to deal with the situation on the spot, and he really wanted to lead the army to avoid the Jurchen soldiers. It's nothing, but he was born in Heiyundu, and he has always been trained as a general who can lead thousands of military horses in the future, and he knows the situation in the army very well.
Now the Jinyang Army, the situation can be said to be scattered, and the Jinyang Army in the east of the river is divided into four places, Shuozhou. Huanzhou, Yingzhou. and Yanmen Pass, because the time has not been running in for a long time, and they do not echo each other, it is not a layout that can be used for combat.
In such weather, Yanggu County was stuck in Yingzhou Kongdao again, and the elder brother of the Yue family personally sat in the main city of Yingzhou. Everyone thought that they had enough time to sort out this situation, and when it was time to use troops, they would almost be able to form a neat defense line against the north.
And it is said that Zong Han, the commander of the Jurchen Western Route Army, has already returned to Ulzhou, and the Jurchen military horses will naturally not move lightly, who would have thought. In this ghost weather, the Jurchen military horses crossed the dangerous mountains, attacked from the side, and hit the soft underbelly of the Jinyang army, and they were even more powerful like the wind, and they had the potential to sweep the Shuoying states in one fell swoop.
Once they are allowed to progress smoothly, the four divisions of the Jinyang army will be cut off from the middle, and the Jurchen military horses will be broken separately, if they don't lead the army to the east, even if they are putting on a show in Yanggu County, for an army with the support of the city wall, they can always delay the Jurchen army and horses for a little time, even if it is a day and a half, it is good.
Those brothers in the rear will have more time to react, and they can gather strength to beat these Jurchen Tartars out! Perhaps, General Xiao Yang, who is now in the Flying Fox Mouth, knows that these sons and daughters he brought out are in danger, and he will come in person as he did when he was in Yandi, lead the whole army, rescue everyone from the crisis, and fight a decisive battle with the Jurchen Tartars here!
At this moment, he Zhang Xian couldn't leave.
There was a sudden commotion on the city wall of Yanggu, and the refugees attached to the city also jumped up from the fire, and the sound of running and crying suddenly sounded, and then there was a commotion in the crowded refugee group in the city.
The fire kicks and scatters for the people who are running, and sparks are scattered. The cries and exclamations went from low to high, and then swept through the city, "The Jurchen army is coming!" Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing hurried to the east of the Yanggu city wall, the source of the commotion.
I saw a group of fires in the distance, rising and falling in the night, galloping towards Yanggu County, those newly recruited Jinyang army soldiers and men were walking around on the city wall, and some people were completely panicked, shouting at the top of their voices: "The Jurchen army is coming!" ”
Zhang Xian had already pulled out the two-handed long sword at his waist as he ran, and with a sword in the air, the head of the most panicked soldier rose into the sky, and blood splashed on the city.
Zhang Xian shouted: "Death to the rebels!" The leaders of the old soldiers in the army also began to press loudly, and the soldiers of the Jinyang army were driven by them, and they did not dare to run around anymore and stood trembling at the head of the city.
Although there are no sharp weapons such as bed crossbows in the Jinyang army, there is still no shortage of bows and arrows, and the bows are rounded to the east at this time, and the arrows shine in the firelight, and the bowstrings make a tooth-aching creaking sound.
Zhang Xian pressed his sword and shouted at the head of the city: "It's cold, it's night, do you want to die in chaos?" Leaning against the city wall, there is still a way to survive! ”
Yanggu County is small, the radius is not more than a mile, Zhang Xian drank all over the city, and those forts who led the refugees to flee also began to suppress the people, such a cold night, such a night, self-chaos is a dead word. Even the Jurchen military horses are unlikely to attack in large groups, at most, the sentinels will confuse people's hearts, relying on the city wall to drive the Jurchen military horses back at night, and wait until dawn to find a way to survive.
The refugees cried and wanted to rush into Yanggu County from the city wall, but they were swept by a burst of feather arrows, and no one could be soft-hearted at this time, and the refugees outside the city could not enter the city, so they had to scream that they were scattered at night, and the farther away from Yanggu County the better.
As for whether they can survive this cold night, no one thinks about it, the Jurchen army crossed the desperate place, swept 200 miles in four days, broke through dozens of fortresses and dock walls, and killed countless people.
From the very beginning, it has made the people of Shuohuan Ying Sanzhou break their courage!
In an instant, the sharp light in the distance was already approaching, pointing to the firelight and shouting: "It's my own family!" ”
I don't know who was startled by the shout and released an arrow, and under the firelight, a soldier with white frost on his armor and spear knocked the arrow away: "Second brother, just welcome us like this?" (To be continued.) )
