After learning from the pain, Xian also came to Zong Wang to discuss, and frankly said that he wanted to take revenge on Han Wang, so he wanted to attack Yizhou City and punish this bastard who didn't know the height of the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zong Wang thought about it again and again, and said, instead of attacking Yizhou, it is better to attack Zhuozhou, although Zhuozhou has many troops, it is useless. The generals have no intention of fighting, the soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, the corpses of the mediocre are on it, and the capable are jealous and framed, and they can be beaten down.

Xian also felt that it made sense, after the battle of Zhuozhou, he could outflank Yanjing, or he could enter Yizhou, and the initiative would be completely in his own hands.

At present, the army is short of military supplies and forage, and only by capturing the relatively wealthy city of Zhuozhou can they alleviate their embarrassment. So they made a decision, and tomorrow they united the 3,000 troops stranded in Yanjing to besiege Zhuozhou together.

The fast horse rushed to Yanjiao overnight, and ordered 3,000 iron horsemen to immediately go south, preparing to attack Zhuozhou in order to obtain sufficient provisions. After capturing Zhuozhou, Yanjing and Yizhou are the meat of the mouth, and they can eat it if they want, so that they can take the strategic initiative.

The 6,000 gold army pressed to the southeast and north of Zhuozhou City, leaving the west open, a typical encirclement of three que. Moreover, the Jin army captured a large number of people and prepared to fill the river with soil early the next morning, as a victim of the consumption of the defenders' armor.

Yao Gu was so angry that he choked enough, you didn't fight with so few troops in Yizhou, and you didn't fight with Yanjing's fame, but you came to fight me? It's just bullying.

There are too many troops to expand by themselves, six thousand recruits, and they will not know anything, except for eating, standing guard, carrying supplies, etc. Even the weapons are not enough to gamble, and the 3,000 people are still bare-handed, how should this battle be fought?

All 6,000 recruits went to the city wall, two out of one, and then recruited 8,000 people in Zhuozhou City to defend together. He ordered people to urgently transport all the defensive equipment such as stones, rolling wood, fire oil, boiling water, and lime to the city, and at the same time sent 2,000 veterans to supervise the new soldiers and civilians to do a good job of defense.

Without waiting for Yao Gu to prepare, Xianye and Zongwang launched a strong attack from the east gate and the north gate respectively. First they forced the people to fill the moat, and then they crowded towards the gate of the city, and a large number of Jin troops mixed in to storm it.

Most of the defenders were local recruits, and some of the recruits on the city wall began to rebel amid the heart-rending cries of the city and the city. It immediately caused a ruthless suppression by the Xihe veterans, but triggered an all-out revolt by the recruits and residents of Zhuozhou.

Although the Xihe veterans relied on bloody means to strangle all the rebels, many parts of the city had been easily conquered by the Jin army. Then the tidal wave of Jurchen warriors roared across the city and rushed towards the center of the city, and the Xihe army collapsed at the touch of the wind and fled.

After Yao Gu heard the alarm of the Jin army breaking the city, he hurriedly fled from the west gate to Zhending with six thousand Xihe veterans.

Zong Wangqin led a thousand cavalry to defeat the Xihe army in just a quarter of an hour, and captured all the 3,000 infantry troops left behind to intercept. Xian also searched out all the Song troops left behind, and after reviewing them one by one, he had to admire.

Han Wang's army is fundamentally different from the original Western army, because he has repeatedly underestimated the enemy, and it is no wonder that others. Now that Zhuozhou is in hand, he is starting to watch Yanjing go under the knife.

Seeing that the siege of the city was unusually smooth, Hazar came up with a plan to win Yanjing City. Let the commander of the Xihe infantry army who surrendered to Shun make Wei Niu run and flee to Yanjing City with the defeated army, once the city gate is opened, it will be a great achievement.

Wei Niuben was greedy for life and afraid of death in the Xihe Army, but after being surrendered by the Jurchens, he actually became bold, patted his chest and promised to take the west gate of Yanjing.

Sure enough, when Wei Niu ran in front of the west gate of Yanjing, playing a full game of majesty and arrogance, the gate of Yanjing City actually believed it and opened the door unguarded. As the lurking Jin army and rebels swarmed in, they occupied the west gate in the stunned state of the defenders.

The news of the destruction of Yanjing City was like five thunderbolts, exploding on the heads of every Song army general, and then the armies were in chaos. thought that the prince of the small species had not yet taken office, so the army was temporarily commanded by Yang Keshi.

After Yang Keshi found out the enemy's situation, he gathered 5,000 people to storm the West Gate, wanting to recapture the city tower. However, Wei Niuben was eager to make meritorious contributions, and actually demolished all the houses near the West Gate, so that the Song army braved the Jurchens' arrow rain to attack, and the losses were huge.

After three consecutive strong attacks, Yang Keshi had to give up, seeing that there was no hope of recapturing the West Gate, all the armies were shaken, and the city. And at this moment, the Jin Army Brigade is also rushing towards Yanjing, and if you don't leave, you will be dumplings made by the Jurchens.

Yanjing, which occupied it for a month and cost 20 million guan, was lost like this.

Xian also brazenly sent someone to pass it on to Yang Keshi, who had retreated to Ulzhou, "If you want Yanjing, you can redeem it for 10 million." ”

Yang Keshi cut off the head of the rebel general who was the Jurchen envoy of the Western Army with a single sword, "Damn traitor, die early and reincarnate early!" He then retreated to Ulju through a trail in the mountains and forests.

Yang Keshi only withdrew from Yanjing with 5,000 men, and the remaining nearly 20,000 soldiers were scattered, throwing weapons and armor away, and they were mixed among the people. Nearly six or seven thousand people in Zhuozhou fled south on their own, or mixed in with the local people to take refuge in the disaster.

In the face of the loss of Zhuozhou and Yanjing, although the generals of Yizhou kept scolding, Han Wang did not feel strange. Originally, the difference in combat power was put there to compare, and it was normal to fight like this.

Occult also occupies so many cities, which will bring an obvious weakness, and his forces will be scattered. Using the advanced concepts of movement warfare and guerrilla warfare, it is completely possible to strike hard at the oblique.

Although the 200 elites in Yizhou have not received special operations training, they cannot stand up to the basic skills, and they are divided into 30 groups by combining the old and the new.

The newly formed special squad went to the rear of the vast Jin Army to carry out tasks such as sabotage, harassment, and assassination. In short, no matter what means it is, it makes Jin Jun so that the chickens and dogs jump, and he can't sleep at night, and the food is the best.

So Shi Yan was in charge of Yanjing City, and Yu Wei was in charge of Zhuozhou City, whether it was the Jin Army or the broken Western Army Forbidden Army, they were their targets.

The Jin army is a dead end, every night, whether it is patrolling the city or going out to sentry, one team after another will be slaughtered inexplicably. In the end, the Jurchens did not dare to come out on patrol. Within 10 days, this kind of assassination achieved remarkable results, killing and wounding more than 80 Jin soldiers.

As for the scattered Western Army Forbidden Army, as long as they are good and still want to be soldiers, they will all be included in the Yanshan Righteous Army. This time the collection also achieved a satisfactory reward. A total of 220 elite soldiers were gathered.

Originally, Han Wang thought that it would be very uncomfortable to change their hearts, but he didn't expect that as soon as they proposed that the general of the winning army was Lord Han, they immediately agreed to join. Because in these years, there are too few generals who do not cheat their subordinates and are not greedy for military merits, not to mention that they are famous all over the world in four battles and four victories.

Many recruits said, "If it weren't for Lord Han's fame, I would have gone home to farm a long time ago" (to be continued.) )
