Chapter 525: The Stars Fall
The ministers of the Dajin Kingdom may not know that the officers above the commander of the Song army have a blacklist in their hands, which must be eliminated, which can be used, which must be paid attention to, and so on. And a young talent like Wanyan Yanying, a high-quality potential stock, and now the mainstay of the Jin Army, how could he forget about it, and he was targeted by Song Jun as soon as he showed up.
Wanyan Yanying led his own soldiers to drill when they saw the cracks, and they entered when they saw the holes, but it was still difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Song army, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, he knew that there was an abandoned fortress nearby, so he rushed into it with the remaining one hundred and ten personal soldiers, wanting to hold on until the reinforcements sent by Huining City arrived. But depending on how they could hold it, a group of Song troops surrounded the castle, blasted a section of the fort wall with explosives and rushed in.
But Yan Yanying would never surrender, he led the remnants of the Song army to fight to the death, until he died of exhaustion, with more than ten wounds on his body, and none of his personal soldiers surrendered and died. For Wanyan Yanying's death on the battlefield, many soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were grief-stricken. He is an almost flawless clan general, proficient in military affairs, accustomed to marching battles, valuing righteousness over wealth, caring for subordinates, sharing weal and woe, and taking the lead, he can be called a model for the younger generation of Jurchen generals, and his death has greatly damaged the morale of the Jin army!
Another important target in the Jin army is, of course, Tang Kuobi, he is a member of the council for political affairs, Huining Mansion Yin, and an identity as a concubine, but he is stubborn, happy, and reckless, and is not liked by the generals, and even very disgusted, if there is no participation in him, it may be Song Jun who is trapped now, not himself. Therefore, Tang should take responsibility for this failure. But he seemed to feel the end of the world at the beginning of the battle, and his life might end with the fate of the Jin Kingdom. So he slipped quietly under the protection of the Protector Army.
Bad luck seems to have found Tang Kuo, and the Protector Army is the most elite of the Jin Army. Even in the case of Yan zhòng's lack of horses, they are still equipped with one man and two horses, and the soldiers are all skilled in bows and horses, and what is even more commendable is that they are all from the Jurchen tribes, and their combat effectiveness and loyalty are guaranteed. But unfortunately, they had just crossed the blocking line at the cost of casualties, and they ran head-on into the hussars of the Song army's dragon generals.
After a period of fighting, Tang Kuobi luckily dodged the hussar's cavalry and took advantage of the chaos to get out of the encirclement, and there were only a few dozen people left around him to follow. In a daze, he chose to flee for his life in the direction of Hoeryeong. Because he knew that no matter how tragic the battle was, as long as he could escape back to the capital, with his relationship with the emperor, he would definitely be able to make a comeback and regain power. But he was unlucky, and on the way, he encountered the Mughal cavalry cruising around the periphery to intercept and kill the rout.
The Muguls and the Jurchens are as powerful as fire and water, and they have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, and all the Jurchens who fall into their hands will not have good fruits to eat. After a short encounter, Tang was captured by the Muguls. He immediately revealed his identity, hoping that the Mughul would spare him. But then something went wrong, and the Mugultures who seized him and sent him to the leader Khuturama.
It is said that catching such a big fish is just enough to ask the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for credit, but Kutura did not do that, he thought that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had always been merciful. After getting Tang Kuo's argument, he will definitely persuade him to surrender, and then use him to defeat the morale of the Jin army, which will not only cost him his life. will spend the rest of his life peacefully. How could this make Kutu reluctant, so he didn't stop doing anything and tortured Tang Kuobi to death in the same way that the Jurchens executed my Ba child and his eldest brother. Then send his head to Zhao Li.
Under the two commanders of the Jin Army, there were also several commanders such as Jiagu Shenu, Xi Sandantu, Pu Changhai and more than a dozen commanders who died in this massacre. Grass-roots officers such as centurions are even more in the hundreds, and tens of thousands of them have been surrendered. It can be said that this battle annihilated all the mobile troops on the Jin Shangjing Road, and the shock to the Jin government and the opposition is self-evident. After Zhao Li's victory, he immediately marched to Huining City, and they would be the first troops to reach the enemy's capital......
…………
When Zhao Li moved to Zhendong County all night, he also spent a night of blood and fire in Jeju City, two hundred miles away. That night, Mouyan was invited by Ah Lin to go to the governor's mansion, and Shi Gu Nai was worried that he would have a conflict with Ah Lin, so he went together. It wasn't a big deal for Ah Lin to summon Mou Yan in a hurry, but a few days ago, over the issue of food and salary distribution, the government army stationed in Jeju had a verbal conflict with Mou Yan because of the untimely distribution. Mou Yan thought that the government army was instigated by Ah Lin to have nothing to do, so he stopped distributing their food and grass in a fit of anger, and Ah Lin only set up a banquet to mediate for them.
The big war is coming, and Mou Yan doesn't want to stalemate with him, since Ah Lin gave him the steps, he is also willing to get off the donkey, and let Shi Gu Nai distribute it on time and in accordance with the amount tomorrow. The matter was settled, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the banquet was not dispersed until two watches. Ah Lin sent the drunken brothers out of the mansion again, and they spent their whole life in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.
But in the narrow alley where Mou Yan and the others left the governor's mansion to return home under the escort of their personal guards, a group of archers suddenly flashed from the rooftops on both sides, and before they could react, they shot like a rain of locusts. Shi Gu Nai, who was walking in front, was shot dead on the spot, although Mou Yan drank too much, but after all, he had a foundation in martial arts, and he immediately hid under the horse when he saw that things were not good, and escaped the first round of shooting.
Of course, the guards of Mouyan were the elite of the clan, and the guards who did not die immediately took off their bows and arrows to fight back, and at the same time escorted him out of the alley, and the assassins wanted to put the Mouyan brothers to death, and the swords and axes in ambush outside the alley surrounded them again. At the moment of life and death, Mou Yan burst out with huge combat power, and even led the remnants of a few guards to carry Shi Gu Nai's body to fight out of the encirclement.
Without pondering, Mou Yan concluded that it was Ah Lin who assassinated him, and the government army was his accomplice, which meant that he wanted to seize the power of Jeju City. After figuring out what was going on, Mou Yan and Haili immediately ordered 10,000 elite soldiers to kill the governor's mansion. And when they arrived, a large number of government troops had already gathered outside the governor's mansion, and when Mou Yan saw this, he was even more sure that the assassination just now was carried out by the Alin, otherwise how could he have mobilized heavy troops here, obviously preparing to suppress the Oji Department after the assassination was successful.
After figuring out the key, Mou Yan became even more angry, and led the troops to step forward. And the government army, which was suddenly attacked by friendly forces, although they didn't know what was going on, they couldn't wait to be stabbed. immediately fought back, and in the blink of an eye, the two armies were already fighting together. After all, this is the old lair of Ogibe. Shi Gu Nai was deeply loved by the people, and when he learned that he was assassinated by the governor, he also rushed to chase and kill the government troops in the city. For a time, there was chaos in the city, and there were shouts of killing everywhere in the city and under the city, and there were even hooligans and ruffians who took advantage of the chaos to rob and kill people indiscriminately, and the situation in the city was out of control.
Under the onslaught of the clan army, the government army gradually lost its support, and could only retreat into the governor's mansion to hold on. And the initiator, Wanyan Alin, is a bitter complaint. Why did you invite such a disaster when you had a treat? He is indeed very unwilling to be set aside by his brothers, and wants to regain power, but there is no one to use. He knew that Jeju Mansion was full of people from Shi Gunai, not to mention the clan army in the city, all of them were looking forward to the first place. The only force that was not under the control of their brothers was the government army stationed here, but although they accepted their own dispatch, they relied on the Jeju government for food and use, and the number of troops was far less than that of the clan army in the city. He didn't dare to make a mistake.
But as long as you pay attention to the opportunity, there will always be opportunities, and it just so happened that Mouyan and Ah Lin turned against each other and became angry with the government army, and there was a dispute over the distribution of grain and grass. The commander of the government army had no choice but to turn to Ah Lin for help, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to win him over for his own use. The two sides hit it off. But at this time, Ah Lin did not dare to act when the attitude of the government army was unclear, of course, he would not send someone to assassinate the two brothers on the way back, and his mobilization of the government army was just a response after receiving the report of the soldiers patrolling the city. I didn't expect Mou Yan to misunderstand that he wanted to do it to himself, and he would fight indiscriminately. Ah Lin is also difficult to argue......
Just when it was dark when the government army and clan army were killing in Jeju City, several huge explosions were suddenly heard. The crowd who were fighting desperately stopped their hands and looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see the south, west, and east gates all flickering with firelight, mixed with the sound of drum-like horses' hooves.
"The city is broken, and the Song army has entered the city......"
"Run, the Song army has entered the city......"
The night, which was already quite lively, was shocked by the poignant shouts again, and the two sides who had been fighting to the death were a little dumbfounded. When Mou Yan stopped a rout who had escaped, it became clear that the battle in the city was becoming more and more intense, and even the soldiers defending the city were involved, and he did not find that the Song army had quietly sneaked in front of the city. The Song army suddenly opened fire and blew down the city gates, and some people lowered the drawbridge, and they have now entered the city. This matter made a lot of trouble, patronizing and killing each other, how to forget the Song army outside the city.
The city gate was lost, and the Song army entered the city, and the city was already in chaos, and it was impossible to organize resistance, and both Mouyan and Ah Lin realized that Jeju City could not be defended. The two of them couldn't care about fighting anymore, and they couldn't even care about cleaning up the softness, so they opened the south gate that had not yet been captured by the Song army and abandoned the city. But when they couldn't go more than three miles, a large group of Song troops blocked the way, and there were also pursuers behind them, so they couldn't line up at all.
"Mou Yan, you have no way out, surrender!" On the opposite side, a general shouted loudly from the Song army.
"My clan is full of loyalty, my father and brother died at your hands, it is impossible for me to surrender!" Mou Yan shook the spear in his hand and roared.
"Mou Yan, my emperor is respecting your father and being a hero in the world, so he doesn't want you to be wiped out, as long as you are willing to surrender, the emperor promises to treat you well!" Song will persuade again.
"Haha, Nanban asked us Manchus to surrender, can you agree?" As if he had heard the biggest joke, Mou Yan laughed and turned to the clansmen behind him and asked.
"I am willing to fight to the death with ten thousand households, fight to the death!" The clan soldiers behind him shouted in unison with determination on their faces.
"Boss, are you willing to surrender?" Mou Yan was very satisfied, and turned his face to ask Ah Lindao.
"Hmph, I am a clan, and I am favored by the emperor, the general is not afraid, and the neighbor is afraid!" Ah Lin snorted coldly.
"Okay, the manager is a hero, tonight we will put aside the old grudge and kill together!" Mou Yan replied.
"Listen to the Song army on the other side, my Wanyan clan has no descendants, and today I have decided to live and die!" Mou Yan shouted to the other party, Song Jun, again.
"Attack!" Gao Zhong sighed and waved his hand, secretly sighing in his heart that what the emperor said was true.
As Gao Zhong gave the order to attack, the terrible trumpet sounded, and the armies launched an attack. With a swing of Mouyan's spear, Haili took the lead in leading the army to kill the Song army, and Ah Lin also drew his long knife and roared and rushed forward, and the fierce gunfire rang out again, instantly drowning the Jin army in the smoke and firelight......
The battle lasted until dawn, Gao Zhong accompanied the emperor to climb the Jeju City Tower to inspect the battlefield, looking at the corpses of men and horses all over the ground, he couldn't help but sigh, none of the tens of thousands of Jin troops under Mouyan surrendered, and the Oji tribe went to the battle, and all of them died on the battlefield. He was even more glad that if it weren't for the infighting of the Jin army, he would have met with stubborn resistance and paid heavy casualties.
But Gao Zhong still felt that something was wrong, why did the Jurchens kill each other and play, just when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw Zhang Kui, who had been 'missing' for many days, whispering to the emperor, and his doubts were solved...... (To be continued......)
