Chapter 268: Huang Tiandang (3)
In this way, under the coercion of the Song army, the Jin soldiers half-pushed and half-pushed, traced the river, and came to a river with three forks in a daze.
Because there was the pursuit of the Song army's naval divisions behind, in fact, Wanyan Wushu had only two choices: to lead the fleet into a narrower water area on the left or a much wider water area on the right?
Now it is already the hour of the morning, the sun is three poles, and unconsciously, the two armies have been fighting for a long time, not to mention the soldiers, even after finishing the Yan Wushu themselves, they are quite tired.
Soon, Wanyan Wushu found that he didn't have to choose, because dozens of fighting boats suddenly appeared on the wider waters.
These fighting boats, I don't know if Han Shizhong ambushed here in advance, or the original fighting boats detoured here to wait. In short, Jin Bing drove to the side of the fighting boat in front of him and placed a lot of glittering slap rods, and before Yan Wushu gave the order, he sailed the fleet into the narrow river channel by himself.
This relatively narrow river has a name, called Huang Tiandang
Huang Tiandang is a branch lake dang located between Qixia Mountain and Longtan in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. To put it simply, it is a part of the waterway that diverts from the Yangtze River, there is no source in front, the river channel is very narrow, and the silt and weeds are everywhere.
Such a dead end is a natural Jedi, Wanyan Wushu, a foreigner who is half a road idiot and half forced, suddenly found that something was wrong after entering, and when he wanted to come out, Han Shizhong's army had already covered the river.
Wanyan Wushu finally reacted, and this trick is called "closing the door and beating the dog".
It turned out that Han Shizhong was playing a big game of chess.
Because the number of Han Jiajun is not enough, in this game of chess, it is necessary to concentrate the golden soldiers in a narrow Jedi. in order to give full play to the advantages of the big ship. And Huang Tiandang is the best choice.
How can we drive the Jin soldiers into Huang Tiandang?
First of all. It is necessary to squeeze the golden soldier's boat as much as possible in one place, and never let the boat scatter in all directions.
Han Shizhong took advantage of the high speed and agility of the wheel boat to continuously exert pressure on the command ship where Wanyan Wushu was located, and combined with the rolling of the giant ship, he easily achieved this.
Secondly, he forced Jin Bing to swim against the current and enter the Yellow Sky Dang by himself.
This point, in addition to taking advantage of the mutual cooperation of different warships of the Song army, relying on familiarity with the local terrain, and fighting bravely and tenaciously. It also takes a little bit of luck.
After all, it was a thousand golden soldier ships, and even if it was necessary to successfully drive a thousand ducks into the Yellow Sky Swing, it would not be an easy task.
God forbid, Han Shizhong really did what he wanted to do. The game was made.
According to Han Shizhong's thoughts at that time, as long as the Jin soldiers entered Huang Tiandang, they didn't need to fight at all, and they would starve these evil invaders to death!
Wanyan Wushu has now fully sobered up - he was frightened by Han Shizhong.
Wanyan Wushu knew that if he couldn't rush now, the chances would become more and more slim. So Wanyan Wushu ordered, and all of them were shocked. No matter what, you have to break through a gap and escape.
The horn of the golden soldier sounded again. Sharp and rapid, urging Jin Bing's actions strongly.
More than half of the Jin soldiers tore off their bows and fired arrows at the Song army's warships, and the rest of the Jin soldiers rushed towards the Song army like crazy, trying to break through a bloody road.
Since the middle of last night, the Song and Jin sides have been fighting all night, and it has been several hours now, to say that the Jin soldiers are tired, the Song army is also tired enough.
Compared with the Jin soldiers who have completed the Yan Wushu, the Han family army has one more difficulty - the number is too small.
Eight thousand men were assigned to more than a hundred ships, and there were only a few dozen men on each boat, a third of whom had to be used to steer the ships.
The Han Jiajun's warships were larger than the Jin soldiers, but they were much more difficult and laborious to pilot, including the fiddling of the sails, the rowing of the ship's poles, and so on.
In fact, at the end of the night, the sleepiness of the Song army was much higher than that of the Jin soldiers; If you are not careful, it is really possible to give the golden soldiers who are fighting against the water a chance
"Knock, knock, knock"
On the giant command ship of the Song army, there was a drumbeat that shook the sky.
These drum beats are different from the previous drum beats: the rhythm of the drums changes from slow to fast, and the drums get louder and louder.
This method of beating the drum has a famous name, called "General Order".
As soon as the general's order comes out, it means that the war has reached the most critical stage, and it must be resisted no matter what.
The soldiers of the Song army invariably glanced at the giant command ship.
This glance was originally just a routine action to accept the "general's order", however, an unprecedented scene appeared very abruptly in the eyes of the soldiers of the Song Army:
A handsome, full-body woman with her hands clasped and pounding, standing on the top platform of the fifth floor of the giant command ship, is leading a group of drummers to beat the drum order.
Next to the command ship's Hanzi Daxu, a new red flag was erected, which was embroidered with the word "beam" of Douda
All the soldiers of the Song Army immediately understood that it was Marshal Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu who personally stood up and cheered everyone on.
For a while, all the soldiers of the Song Army became excited, as if they had taken stimulants, and they took their places, smashing the weapons and ordnance in their hands at the menacing Jin soldiers
Could it be that Liang Hongyu has any magic that can boost the morale of the Song army?
The answer, of course, is no.
The reason why Liang Hongyu was able to inspire the morale of the Song army was for the following two reasons:
First, coach Han Shizhong pushed his wife to the forefront, which means that Han Shizhong will not retreat this time, and will never retreat from life and death with the soldiers.
The commander's family is at the scene of the battle, and the soldiers have nothing else to say!
Second, according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, the families of high-ranking military generals must remain with the emperor as hostages; Only in one case can the family of a high-ranking military general leave the emperor's sight and return to the high-ranking general's side. In this case, the emperor already has absolute trust in this general.
The appearance of Liang Hongyu not only represents the emperor's favor to Han Shizhong, but also implies the emperor's attention and support for this battle
As soon as the morale of the Song army rose, the Jin soldiers had little chance, because the two sides were not on a fair duel platform at all.
It's also a meteor hammer a few feet long. In the hands of the Song army. Be in one's element. The lethality is staggering; And in the hands of Jin Bing, even the fur of Song Jun is difficult to touch.
Not to mention the Song Army's attack artifacts such as the "slapping rod".
The small boats that were snatched were no better than the horses, and under the clumsy rowing of the golden soldiers, they moved slowly like turtles; Often in a hurry, without the Song army's attack, he spun around on the water, which provoked bursts of heartless ridicule and shame from the Song army.
The Jin soldiers who were riding in a small boat in the water looked at the arrogant and domineering Song soldiers on the giant ship. finally realized the powerlessness of the Song army's infantry when they encountered the Jin cavalry.
If you don't do it, you can't do it!
On the water surface of Huang Tiandang, the screams continued, one after another; Large expanses of blood, mixed with stumps and severed arms and more and more corpses, floated on the water.
The Song army was wantonly harvesting the lives of the Jin soldiers.
An hour later, Wanyan Wushu sloppily ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Judging from the situation at the scene, Jin Bing did not go to attack, but to die in vain
After the fiasco, Wanyan's true nature was exposed, and his courage was completely gone. The heroic words and heroic posture of "searching the mountains and inspecting the sea to catch Zhao Gou" disappeared without a trace.
Today's Wanyan Wushu has become a dead dog.
In fact, Wanyan Wushu is just a fierce and cruel robber; Bullying the weak and bullying the weak and fearing the hard. It has always been the character of the Perfecting Facial Vultures.
Therefore, he was beaten miserably by Han Shizhong today, and his first reaction was to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Wanyan Wushu sent someone to see Han Shizhong, saying that all the looted property will be returned to your army, and you will buy a way back to the north shore, okay?
Returning all the looted property means that the southern invasion of the Kou is completely defeated, and it also means that the soldiers under his command may be extremely dissatisfied and cause a mutiny.
However, these are things outside the body, far less precious than life. When his life is threatened, he can't care about anything else.
Greatly beyond the expectation of Yan Wushu, Han Shizhong's answer was only two words: No!
Wanyan Wushu gritted his teeth and decided to raise the price of Han Shizhong's road money. So he sent another messenger to see Han Shizhong, saying that he would give you the good horse in the golden camp as compensation, okay?
Over the years, the most successful of the northern ethnic groups, including the Khitan Liao and the Dangxiang Xixia, was to impose trade sanctions on the Song Dynasty, and not a single horse was sold to the Song Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the lack of horses that the overall military strength of the Song Dynasty will decline year by year: from the national policy of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi to actively attack the outside world in the early years of the Song Dynasty, to the active defense strategy of Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and then to the passive defense strategy of Huizong Zhao Ji.
This process can be described as getting worse and worse, and one generation is not as good as the next.
The lack of horses has always been a heart disease of the Song Dynasty. This offer of Wanyan Wushu has broken the ban imposed on the Song Dynasty by the Jin State for many years.
Just imagine, what kind of situation will it be like if the tens of thousands of cavalry horses of Wanyan Wushu all fell into the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty?
The Song Dynasty regained possession of the cavalry and was able to compete with the Jin soldiers in the field again; The Jin soldiers did not dare to enter the land of the Song Dynasty casually, burning, killing and looting; Because the Song army was able to confront the Jin soldiers head-on in the wilderness, and with the advantages of the Song army's original equipment and long-distance bow and arrow strikes, the Song army had theoretically overwhelmed the Jin soldiers.
This beautiful and moving picture was diligently pursued by Li Gang, the first prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and now it is placed in front of Han Shizhong and is ready for you to pick.
Han Shizhong expressed his great agreement and appreciation for the determination and sincerity shown by Wanyan Wushu for peace. The two countries of Jin and Song were originally allies, so peace should be precious, so why fight and kill.
Therefore, for the plan proposed by Wanyan Wushu, Han Shizhong gave a clear answer: "No!" ”
Volume 107 of "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian": Shizhong's wife and Mrs. Liang were in the middle of the line, personally holding the drum, and the enemy was unable to help. The envoy made a speech, willing to return the false way that he plundered, and the world was loyal to him; It is good to be a famous horse, but it is not ...... (To be continued......)
