Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Narrow Encounter

The grandfather of the breeder, Chong Shiheng, who started in the breeder, was already one of the largest military leaders in the Western Army by his generation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMore than half of the elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty were in the Western Army, and the Western Army was related to each other, intermarried from generation to generation, and the family could influence at least more than one-third of the Western Army.

That's it, he also has an elder brother named Chongshi Dao, who is now a general in the court, commanding the forbidden army forces in the Gyeonggi area. In one door, there are two generals in succession, who control half of the elite of the imperial court, and he still dares to ask for the command of the three-way army?

I'm afraid that if he pokes this matter today, he will have to go home tomorrow to retire. For the internal generals, the court of the Great Song Dynasty has always been very guarded. What kind of exploits did Di Qing have back then, wasn't he hung up as an ornament? In the end, he was forced to resign from the Privy Council and sent to the south.

Besides, in the other two armies, the commander of one of the roads is Yao Gu, but he will definitely not listen to his own family. Not long ago, the seed family and the Yao family, who were both the leaders of the Western Army, formed a big relationship.

The Chong clan and the Yao clan are both big clans in Shanxi, and after Yao Pingzhong's father Yao Gu led the Xihe soldiers to help, the strength of the Song army increased. Yao Pingzhong was worried that his fame would be taken away by the seed clan, so he reported that the soldiers were all gearing up, but the seed master was not allowed to fight. Li Gang then ordered the soldiers and horses under the city to listen to the command of Yao Pingzhong, and Song Qinzong did not mention peace at that time, and sent envoys every day to urge the master to go to war.

Seed Master Dao prepared to wait for his younger brother Seed Master to lead the army to arrive, thinking that he could only attack the Jin people after the spring equinox. The Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers made an appointment to raise an appointment, and it was only eight days before the spring equinox. But Song Qinzong, who couldn't wait to make peace, couldn't wait to fight, and secretly decided to rob the camp with Yao Pingzhong in the middle of the night, wanting to capture him alive and take back King Kang Zhao Gou.

In the middle of the night, the eunuch urgently sent an order to Li Gang and said: "Yao Pingzhong has already raised the matter, you will go to support immediately." "Yao Pingzhong left after the defeat of the camp, and the elite of the western soldiers he brought with him also collapsed. Oh, it is said that this person named Yao Pingzhong ran more than 400 miles alone for a day and a night, and he can be called a flying general.

The Yao family made such a big news, naturally it was impossible to have any good impression of the Seed Master Dao who opposed the robbery camp at the beginning, and there were many discussions behind it that it was because the Seed Master Dao did not save him when he saw death, which led to the defeat of Yao Pingzhong's department. God is pitiful, a sixty-year-old man who has retired and gone home to retire, he has no soldiers and no generals, and said that he will wait for his younger brother to come with the army before attacking, but others don't listen.

Now that you're all gone, you can't blame the old man for this, can you? Hey, where is the reason for things in this world, everyone is the ass who decides the head. Even with it, the Yao family also hated the planters.

The initial premise of this rescue operation in Taiyuan was that the army of Jin soldiers was returning, but the Jin soldiers had already made up their minds to kill the elite troops of the Song Dynasty in Shanxi, and at the same time to pull out the nail of Taiyuan.

Then the three-way rescue soldiers and horses sent out were still fighting separately, and none of them had a unified command. In such a situation, if you can still win, it must be because God has appeared, or the Buddha has appeared. However, things are man-made, and fighting a war is a technical job that often causes upsets, who can say.

The three generations of the breeder have been generals and have cultivated a lot of children of generals. After the division made up its mind to move closer to Taiyuan desperately, the army unswervingly marched in the direction of Taiyuan under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels.

After sweeping away the outer prefectures and counties of Taiyuan, Wanyan Zonghan (Sticky Han) successively captured Wenshui, Xidugu, Qixian, Taigu, and Yuxian with partial divisions, and defeated the local troops of the Song army who rescued Taiyuan, Fan Kui, Shi Xu, and Gao Feng. He also used the "City Lock Law" to build heavy fortifications to surround Taiyuan and cut off the connection between inside and outside the city.

The defenders in the city tried several times to get in touch with the Song army from the outside world, but they were blocked back by the Jin soldiers. Similarly, although the Jin soldiers attacked several times, they were bleeding in front of the walls of Taiyuan City, and there were countless casualties but nothing was found. Later, Wanyan Zonghan also gave up his plan to quickly capture Taiyuan, besieged Taiyuan with a lieutenant general, and he himself led the main force to prepare for reinforcements wholeheartedly.

The population of the Song State was a hundred times that of the war-torn north, and even if it lost several hundreds of thousands of troops before and after, it could still pull out an army of hundreds of thousands again. However, the older army in the breeder did not have hundreds of thousands, and with the people and the crossbowmen recruited from all over the country, it was only fifty or sixty thousand.

However, the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 or 60,000 people is far above the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Steady, steady!" A Song Army officer wearing a helmet shouted: "Listen to Lao Tzu's order and then release the arrow, whoever the fuck dares to release the arrow in advance, Lao Tzu will screw off his head and kick it as a ball!" ”

The soldiers wore shields and weapons, and nervously watched the approaching golden soldiers. After hearing the officer's roar, the veterans all said yes, and the recruits also relieved their nervousness a little.

Fighting in the mountains of Shanxi was a bonus for the Song army, which had always relied on heavy armor and strong crossbows. Although the Jin soldiers also started with heavy armor foot combat, they were better at frontal hand-to-hand combat, and did not pay as much attention to projectile weapons. The main forces of both sides were dressed in heavy armor, but their second-line troops were the Song Army's Township Soldiers, who were good at foot shooting, and the Hu Subordinate Army, which was not a Jurchen tribe.

The combat effectiveness of the main force is comparable, but in this mountainous territory, the second-line troops of the Song army have a big advantage.

"Shoot!" The officer was also nervous, and looked at the approaching Jin soldiers for a long time, and finally roared angrily: "Shoot the fuck!" ”

The strong bow and hard crossbow of the Song army are unparalleled in the world, and when an order is given, in the sound of the bowstring, thousands of arrows are shot out continuously, and the people who shoot the Jin soldiers who rush up are turned over on their backs. There was also the fierce general brother in double armor, although he was shot like a hedgehog, he still rushed over alive.

At this time, the warriors of the Song army wearing infantry armor in the front row also carried heavy halberds, battle axes, copper hammers and other blunt weapons to meet them. One by one, the tin cans fought the narrow mountain road, and for a while they could not see the winner.

On the road in the mountains, the Jin soldiers' long-standing mobility advantage was gone, and it was difficult to implement the tactics of outflanking and flanking attacks, so they could only fight the battle line inch by inch with the Song army. In such a situation, the crossbowmen in the rear of the Song army can stand on the stake without any scruples, and rely on long-range firepower to shoot the Jin soldiers.
