Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 258 Battle Array Fierce (1)
More than a dozen Jurchen knights in shabby leather robes were riding their horses carefully through the narrow mountain passes.
Yingzhou is close to the left, except for the avenue built in the Han Dynasty in the vicinity of Yingzhou City, which winds through and has a battlefield that can swing thousands of military horses, other places are mountainous and rugged. Production is thin and the land is barren.
Starting from Xijing Datong Mansion, it has been necessary to follow such a complex terrain to the prefectures of Yunnei, and Yingzhou is a key point that must be controlled. It can be used as an important military station for the army to move south, one is to cover the passage of the army, and the other can be used to collect and transfer materials. With this as a starting point for the attack deep into Yunnei, it is also much closer to the states of Yunnei. With Yingzhou as a cover, it can even support a military horse to fight all the way to the inner Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty.
Since Wanyan Yinshu can join forces with Wanyan Lou Room, capture the city fortress of Yingzhou, and surround Guo Rong's remnants in Longshou Village. Yinshuke and Lou Room relied on Yingzhou City to settle down, while waiting for the arrival of Zong Han's army from Xijing Datong Mansion, while constantly sending scouts to patrol and sweep, one is to collect as many supplies as possible, and the other is to establish a powerful search curtain far enough away. To better grasp the surrounding military situation, as long as Zong Han's army arrives and supplies come up, he can launch the army very smoothly and go deep into the clouds. Completely grasp the important point adjacent to the Great Song Dynasty in your hands. Regardless of whether the next step is to attack the Song Dynasty or not, the initiative will be completely in your hands.
Especially after sweeping the Yingzhou city fortress, he finally captured a few prisoners in his hands, and under torture, Yinshu finally knew. This so-called Fuliao army. It's simply sent by the Great Song Dynasty! The person behind the scenes. He once suffered a big loss in his hands in Yandi. Zong Han's son Shehema was also buried in his hands - it was Xiao Yan of the Great Song Dynasty!
After this news was accurately grasped by Yinshu, the hairs on his body stood on end. According to his understanding of the southerners, he has always been cowering and retreating, and does not want to forge ahead. How can this surnamed Xiao not be like a southerner, so proactive and silent, he has already taken Yunnei in his hands! Together with the swallow land, it is connected into one breath. The Jurchen territory is completely under the threat of his soldiers. And if the Jurchens want to attack the Song Dynasty, then in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, a solid barrier has also been established for this Xiao Yan!
Climbing over the mountains in the ice and snow, in addition to a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians on the way, it was the Jurchen soldiers, and because of this difficult journey, ten percent went to one percent. In the end, it was even more difficult to fight the city of Yingzhou after the sea of corpses and blood.
He led his troops into Yandi, as well as the attack on Yingzhou, which were all heavy losses that had never been seen since the Jurchen Western Route Army was formed. Even if he is a henchman who leads directly, he has no complaints.
Silversmith doesn't mean anything on the surface. But there is no pressure in my heart, but at this moment. He was finally sure that he had done nothing wrong. If it is one step later, let Xiao Yan quietly operate Yunnei into an iron bucket, and the Jurchens will still attack the Song Dynasty, and they don't know how many lives they will pay in the future!
Therefore, he was not interested in the matter of defeating Longshou Village and fighting for the lives of hundreds of Jurchen athletes to capture the fake Liao princess, but kept sending out teams of scouts to grasp the surrounding battlefield situation.
And this team of more than 10 scouts is the one that goes the furthest south.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the moment, the snow is still thick in the mountain road.
This team of more than ten Jurchen knights, for the silver can directly lead a Puliyan. When he set out, he was close to fifty horsemen, and he was equipped with a hundred war horses, twenty pack horses, and twenty mules. Thirty cane-headed bullets, twenty shepherd slaves.
All the way deep into the clouds, on the way, the war horses, pack horses and mules were lost by thirty percent, and the auxiliary soldiers such as the cangtou bullet pressure and the herdsmen were lost nearly half. There was no loss when sweeping Yunnei, but it was a hard attack on Yingzhou City. This team of Jurchen knights is heavy on armor and the Shenwu often victorious army in foot combat, and after the spears stab each other, even if the Jurchen knights are now, there is only so little left.
After exploring more than 100 miles of road in the south, Pu Liyan, the leader of the team who was not very interested, stopped his subordinates, dismounted first, leaned on a mountain rock, felt out the water bladder, poured a sip of spirits that were frozen like ice, and then spat out heavily.
The sturdy Jurchen knights under him also dismounted one after another and came over to complain.
"Silversmithing can only be used by us, but those Moks in the Lou room are sleeping in the city!"
"In the battle of Yingzhou, we fought hard, and the straight thief has never seen such a hard battle! The left and right sides of the body are all dead people, and it is all up to luck to survive. These Liao dogs also died heavily in the battle............ With such a strong army, how could it collapse so quickly on the battlefield before, and then it simply fled in despair? ”
"Didn't you hear what Mook said? These are not Liao dogs, they are southerners who are straight thieves! ”
"Aren't the Nanren just the Song people? Those Song people are said to be so rich that they give the Liao people a lot of silk and silk goods every year and beg them not to go south, how can they still go to such a bitter and cold place, and they can still work so hard? ”
“…… You don't know, the last time I went to Yandi with the silver technique, I also had a hard encounter with the southerners, and there were forty or fifty people when I came back, and now I am still in Xijing Datong Mansion, and I haven't made up for it, and I am also clamoring to go back to the north patch, don't spend it here. ”
"What's going on with Silversmith now? Is it to fight for the lives of our sons? ”
"Yinshu is now valued by Zong Han, he is from a small ministry, how can it be easy to reach this position? Not to mention that Yan Di lost the Shehe horse last time, can he not desperately atone for his sins? In the end, it's just that we, the ones he directly leads, are unlucky. How many people are left in the south? ”
“………… Zong Han is here, let's see if I can find a way, or transfer it to other nobles to lead directly, it's good for me to look at Xi Yin, under his command, his reputation is not very good, but at least I don't have to fight so many desperate battles............"
Na Pu Liyan rested for a while, and the more he listened to the more his sons and daughters talked, the more unbearable they became, and finally roared angrily: "When will you get up like Ya Haizhen's mother-in-law?" It's only been a few days since I left the old forest, and I can't bear it like this? Now in the next qiē, aren't we all fighting with our lives? Jurchen men, do you still want to die in the tent? ”
After eating this Puliyan and drinking, these Jurchen knights didn't dare to say more, and the listless ones got up to pack up their horses, loosen their bellies and feed the semen, and prepared to continue to explore the south while the sky was still bright.
The Pryan was about to put the sac back in the saddle bag when he suddenly stopped, touched his cheek, and there were a few snow powders that had just drifted down.
There is no snow at the moment, how can there be snow powder falling? Is it the snow in the treetops blown by the mountain wind?
In the next moment, a feathered arrow had already fallen almost vertically, with a strong wind, straight into the middle of his head! Then I heard the sound of the bowstring rattling!
The Puliyan screamed, stretched out his hand to scratch, but only half of his hand was raised, he was already exhausted, and finally fell heavily in the snow!
On the hillside, I saw Yang Zaixing covered in snow powder, grasping a dead vine, sliding down from it, a bow had been thrown away for him, and he pulled out the sword at his waist. Beside him, more Song soldiers emerged from the snow, and avalanches rolled down the valley like an avalanche!
