Chapter 534: King Qin's Army
The capital division was besieged, the country was in danger, and Wan Yan issued an edict to the king of Qin to various places, but there were few responders. ~Top~Point~Small!~ Say~~ After Pu and Lu Tongjun finished Yan Pu Jianu received the edict sent by the envoy, he immediately gathered his troops and gathered all Meng'an to concentrate, but he did not march south to return to King Jingqin, but chose to flee to the north and burrowed into the reckless mountains and forests of the Xing'an Mountains. Don't look at the problem of his nerves, but he knows that the current Jin country is no longer guaranteed, and the most important thing is to retain the bloodline, so he said goodbye to the emperor.
The Qinwang team composed of Khitan rebels also had a very difficult journey along the way, they not only had to find a way to raise their own food and salary, but also had to evade the pursuit of the Wanyan Yong army that had surrendered to the Song Dynasty. But they did not go up to worship, nor did they try to rescue, but they dispersed in a hurry, leaving few people behind, in fact, what these people wanted in their hearts was not a mediocre, dispossessed emperor, but the territory that the Jurchens promised them to establish themselves as kings.
However, there are also good generals who are loyal to the country. After receiving the call for help from the envoy of Huining, he did not hesitate to issue an order to all the generals and officials of Huli Road, announcing that he would lead all the soldiers of Huli Road, concentrate all the grain, grass and baggage, and go all out to rescue the capital, save the emperor in danger, save the Dajin Kingdom that was about to be destroyed, and keep the foundation of the ancestors......
Wanyan Kexi is a person with a lot of personality, he is a descendant of the clan, and he is known as talented, profound, ruthless, self-proclaimed, good at setting up eyes and ears, and quite ambitious. His main task in the speed and frequency road is to protect the border areas and suppress the rebels of the Five Nations Ministry. Guarding against Goryeo.
During his stay in Hulin City, Wanyan Kexi recruited 4,000 or 5,000 Jurchens, bandits, and outlaws distributed in the mountains. They formed an army known as the 'Tiger and Leopard Army', and their mission was to repeatedly harass and plunder the Five Kingdoms and the Jurchens and other small tribes. In the summer and autumn, he often sent troops into the mountains where the Five Nations were hiding to clear and destroy their farmland and houses. As a result, the Five Nations and other tribes also sent troops to retaliate, causing the border to be filled with smoke and the people to suffer.
After Yan Kexi ordered King Qin, he would collect all the tribes and tribes under his jurisdiction in Meng'an, Mouke and the thousands of households under his jurisdiction in Tuntian, Supin Road, and actually gathered a Qinwang army composed of 80,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry troops, which is undoubtedly the most powerful armed force in the entire Jin country at present. Accompanying the army were merchants, women, children, and children who had migrated from all over Liaodong, and these civilians decided to follow their own army in order to escape the war. Meanwhile. It is gratifying that hundreds of thousands of stone of military rations were also collected to pass with the army to jointly rescue the Beijing Division.
This is a seemingly quite luxurious lineup, and if the coach is strategizing and commanding properly, it seems that he can cause some trouble for the Song Dynasty army! But it's a pity that the coach's command level is not high, and he is at the same level as Zong Min and others. Therefore, the very high-spirited Kexi only knows how to act impulsively and brutally, thinking that he can make contributions in this battle and achieve his life ideals.
How to rescue also has to talk about a strategic approach, who will be responsible for the pioneer. Who will be responsible for escorting grain and grass, who will be responsible for pressing the formation after the break, and whether his nest will still be garrisoned for defense, these seem to be the issues that the coach must consider. But his actions were completely out of order. Instead, it was decided to break the cauldron and make a desperate bet, and the garrisons, the tun army, and the soldiers of the various Meng'an and Qianhu clans poured out, and the defenders of the various prefectures, counties and passes were almost empty. Only one staff member was left to lead 500 people to stay in Hulin City, and then led the so-called 20th Army to aid Huining City.
Wanyan was pleased to hope that Song Jun had not discovered his whereabouts. Unresponsive and unable to intercept himself. The Khitans, who were entrenched on the marching road, fled in despair. But there is too much hope, and disappointment will follow. The neighboring Ministry of the Five Nations has been paying attention to its latest movements, and finally gave them a chance, and the Ministry of the Five Nations immediately sent troops across the Sihote Mountain to seize the various passes and seize the Tiger Forest City, and raided its nest and cut off the way back.
And Wan Yanyong, who was ordered by Zhao Tan to conquer the Khitan rebellion, also quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Kexi army, attacked its baggage team, and destroyed most of its grain and grass. Grain and grass are the lifeline of the army, and without grain and grass there is no way to go to Huining City, and Wan Yan Kexi impulsively ordered to plunder the money of the people in the prefectures and counties through which he passed. The military generals who accompanied him objected, thinking that as soldiers of the country, they could not protect their own people, but they still had to harm their own people, so what kind of face did they have to meet the court and the emperor? However, it is gratifying that the determination to rescue the Beijing division remains unchanged, and despite the advice, it insists on plundering and replenishing the army.
In order to avoid the attack of Wanyan Yong and the Five Kingdoms and the Khitans, Wanyan Kexi decided not to take the main road, and walked the rugged mountain road over the mountains and mountains, and rushed to Huining, where the soldiers who stayed in the barren mountains every night could not help but complain. At this time, the winter in the northeast has arrived, and the snow that is melting after the first snow makes the mountain roads more muddy, which seriously affects the marching speed of the army, especially the people who accompany the army have become a big burden to the army, which makes them hate these ineffective civilians.
In order to solve this problem, Wan Yan Kexi came up with the best of both worlds, and he felt that although it was shameless, it would boost morale. So he told his officers and soldiers, brothers, that everyone had worked the march, and that there were some women comrades in the army, and if there was a need, they could marry these women as wives and comfort everyone.
The result was the opposite, and riots began in the army, and the soldiers snatched women as wives one after another, and even fought within the women. All the old and young people who accompanied the army were ruthlessly abandoned in the snow and mud by the soldiers, and what was waiting for them would be the cruel and ruthless army of the Five Kingdoms.
Before they could meet the Song army, the army began to mess up and kill the people, and the performance of this army completely lost the face of all the soldiers of the Jin State. A few days later, two thousand households took advantage of the night to quietly leave with 3,000 soldiers and surrendered to Wan Yanyong. And the accompanying soldiers gradually lost the battle in the midst of starvation**, and the coach Kexi was the culprit!
Mistakes have been a welcome experience, but they soon had an opportunity to change the tide of the war. When he arrived at the bank of the Kuhan River, a fellow staff member offered a plan to Kexi: "Since the main forces of the Southern Dynasty army are gathered in Huining Mansion, then the Huanglong Mansion in Henan must be empty in defense, why not take it by surprise and lead the troops to capture Jeju, the Southern Dynasty army will inevitably send troops to rescue, and the siege of Huining will be lifted!" ”
The strategy proposed by the staff to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if used properly, seems to be able to relieve the huge pressure on Huining City. But Wanyan Kexi didn't dare to take risks, and he lacked strategic acumen, so he categorically rejected the advice of the staff, but even if he refused, he simply killed the staff member on the grounds of preventing the leakage of military information. The Jin army, which had already broken down and lost its fighting spirit, saw that the commander began to flee continuously, which greatly reduced its strength and reduced its strength to 60,000.
Wanyan Kexi insisted on crossing the icy and biting Xialishui according to the original plan, and when he was about to pass through Ma Jiling, he found that the Song army had fortified here, and the two armies naturally met and inevitably had a big battle, and the tragedy seemed to have arrived. But when the rout was defeated, the Khitan reinforcements also collapsed and collided everywhere. The Song army did not know why, so they had to divide their troops to clear it, so that Wanyan Kexi broke into Huining Mansion with the remnants of the army.
The rest of the road was extremely difficult, and the Song army sent several elite cavalry to follow and pursue, sneaking up and harassing them from time to time. In such a tragic situation, even if only one Song cavalry followed and harassed, everyone did not have the courage to intercept and resist, and people continued to fall behind, captured, or even flee in the escape, and the strength was reduced on a large scale again.
In such a predicament, Wanyan Kexi still did not give up King Qin, and he led the army to insist on advancing towards Huining City. At this time, I don't know if it was God's eyes, or shit luck, but just in time for the offensive and defensive battle between the Song and Jin armies came to an end, the Song army withdrew to the camp to rest, so that he took advantage of the loophole to avoid interception and entered Huining City from the east gate, but the number of people who could reach the Beijing division with all beards and tails was less than 5,000, most of which were the tiger and leopard army with strong combat effectiveness......
The first attack and defense of Huining Mansion ended with tens of thousands of dead and wounded by the defenders in the city, which gave the Jin Kingdom another opportunity to take a short breather, and the entry of reinforcements into the city greatly encouraged the soldiers and people in the city, especially the emperor Wanyan was ecstatic, which showed that the people of the world had not abandoned him. In order to celebrate the victory, Wan Yan immediately issued several edicts: amnesty to the world, but only the territory of Huining City is left in this world; The inner government sent gold and wine to reward the soldiers, reduce the imperial meal, remove redundant personnel, release the palace maids, and open the city to let the soldiers and civilians go out to cut woods and look for food; and issued an edict: "Those who can complete the restoration of the state and county at home and abroad will be rewarded poorly." ”
While celebrating, Wan Yan Kang did not give the credit for defending the city to Su Shi Lie Zhining and Fusan Zhongyi, and even the two first assistants, Zong Min and Zong Xiong, but gave the credit to Wan Yan Kexi, who entered the city in embarrassment. It is said that he led the army to force the Song army to give up the siege and retreat to the camp, and named him the king of Qi, the right commander, the four walls of the capital, and the guards and pro-army. Ke Xi was also able to ascend to the sky in one step and became the savior of the Dajin Kingdom, the upstart of the court, and the emperor's favorite minister...... (To be continued......)
