Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 25 Pingyang

Including Zhang Hao, all the generals climbed to the top of the city to watch, and found that the Jin Soldier Camp five miles away was full of people, but they could not hear the sound of the golden drum fighting out of the camp. Pu Liuru Bosheng summoned the scout, who had been outside the sentry last night, to inquire, and the probe said: "The Tartars are indeed closing the camp, and the vanguard has already set off for the south. ”

Puliu Ru Bosheng reported the news to Zhang Hao, and Bulu Gule said flatly: "Since the Tartar is leaving, the last general is willing to take the headquarters to chase and kill for a while, and let the Tartar know how powerful we are." ”

Zhang Hao waved his hand: "I'm afraid this is Wanyan Lou's plan to lure the enemy, the generals will guard the city, and they will not be allowed to leave the city without my order." ”

Wanyan Lou's army really retreated, after he and Wanyan Muhan divided their troops, there were not many herbs, and the supplies were basically robbed, and the villages around Fenzhou had long been eaten up by the rout of the Song army. Wanyan Lou's room arrived, and there was no food to grab. Lu Zhishen set a fire in the Jinbing granary again, although there was not much food burned, but it made people panic. The situation in Fenzhou City was not something that could be fought in a day or two.

Wanyan Lou Room immediately made a decision, bypassed Fenzhou, and took Pingyang first. When the Jin soldiers first went south, they bypassed Taiyuan and other three towns and took Bianliang directly, so this time they bypassed Fenzhou, and the generals had no doubts. According to what Yan Lou thought about after the room, the Song army in Pingyang was afraid that he would be blocked under the city of Fenzhou, and now the Jin soldiers raided Pingyang by surprise.

On October 18, Wanyan Lou returned to Niuling.

When Yang Kefa left Pingyang, he suggested that he should guard Huiniuling, and Liu Rui also listened to this suggestion and sent 200 people to guard Huiniuling. But Liu Rui was used to being a general, and he didn't care about the small section of leading the troops, October was already early winter, and the defenders on Huiniuling had neither winter clothes nor sufficient food, and only two liters of old wheat per person per day. The sergeant smiled and said, "The military food makes me tremble!" ”

After Yan Lou's army arrived, the defenders on the mountain dispersed in a hurry.

In Pingyang City, the pacification envoy of Hexi and West Road, Lin Jiren, the prefect of Pingyang, summoned Liu Rui, the commander of the capital, to discuss: "Liu Tong, this golden thief is really here, I heard that Huiniuling was lost without a fight, how is this good." ”

Liu Rui said: "Back to Niuling, it is the township soldiers recruited by the Pingyang Yamen, they don't listen to my call, what do they have to do with me?" ”

Lin Jiren hurriedly said: "Liu Tongzhi, you can't say that, you come to my Pingyang, I will hand over all the military power to you, and the children in the city will enjoy the golden silk, how can I say that it has nothing to do with you today?" ”

Liu Rui distinguished: "Although he was ordered to be under control, and there were no horses, Zhang Sizheng, the deputy commander of Fenzhou, did not know where he was, but there were more than 80 people and horses in today's commander Li An, who was 4,100 people and horses, and how could thieves and horses be infested." ”

Liu Rui paused and analyzed the situation for Governor Lin: "Pingyang is in charge of Li Xuanfu, Li Xuanfu was summoned, and he went to Zhengzhou to beg for help, and successively sent the staff officer to be promoted to Xuanfu and the official power to Xuanfu. Before Li Xuanfu arrived, the commanders and the commander of the Department of Establishment, Shen Fa Bian Ji, did not reach a decision for five or six days. That is, the genuine Xuanfu made Li Gang be recalled to the imperial court, and the most prestigious seed master Dao Zhishi, and the successor Xuanfu judge Zhi Yanzhi did not arrive, and now no one has dealt with the official documents of the Xuanfu Division.

Under such circumstances, Liu Rui suggested to Governor Lin: "The thieves and horses are coming, how about we protect the people and retreat to Shaanxi." ”

Lin Jiren said: "You mean...... Runaway......"

Liu Rui said: "Back then, Liu Bei also protected the people to retreat, and the world praised the benevolence and righteousness of the ancestors, who said that he ran away?" ”

Lin Jiren muttered: "If the Xuanfu Division investigates it......"

Liu Rui said: "If the fifth uncle of his family is not investigated, who will be willing to accept it?" "What Liu Rui said was that when the rescue was too far, he could ask for the matter of leading the Linfu army to the enemy, and he was the fifth uncle of Zhe Yanzhi and the current head of the Zhi family.

"After all, their family is a family, and they are outsiders, but you can't say it, you didn't see Yao Gu being handled by the imperial court?"

"There is also the Liu family Lang in front, why should the prefect worry." Liu Jialang pointed to Liu Guangshi, when rescuing Taiyuan, Liu Guangshi led the remnants of the Huanqing Army and the Yanyan Army to move forward in front of the enemy, and the imperial court also did not pursue it.

When the words came to this, the pacification envoy of Hexi Road and the prefect of Pingyang at least nodded his face: "This matter is not appropriate after all, Liu Tongzhi, you should step back and discuss again." ”

Liu Rui comprehended, and after a while, a servant came to report: "Liu Du's command is plundering the city." He declared that the Tartars had come and wanted to take the people of the city south for refuge. Lin Jiren said: "Hugh has to take care of him, pack his luggage first." ”

Liu Rui led the army to plunder Pingyang for a day, and swept the golden silk children out of the city.

Lin Jiren sighed: "There are no soldiers, no food, no utensils, how can it be defended." "Leaving the city overnight with the family.

The soldiers and civilians in the city surrendered because the officials had fled. On October 25, Wanyan Lou took Pingyang without a fight.

On the second day of Wanyan Lou's siege of Fenzhou, on October 13, Wanyan Sticky Han personally led the main force of the Jin soldiers on the West Road and surrounded Longde.

At this time, Longde has become a fortified city, and there are generals like Wang Yu who personally preside over the defense of the city. The city wall of Lund Mansion has been repaired, a female wall has been added to the city wall, and a small village has been built outside the city wall.

Mu Han went to the village three miles outside the city of Longde and sent people to Longde Mansion to persuade him to surrender.

Zhang Qu sent a general sentence to Li Ge to see Yan Muhan. Wanyan Muhan said pretendedly: "I will raise troops to ask Emperor Zhao to go today, and I will not attack your city." But the army will be rewarded with wine and food. I'll wait for the night to pass. ”

Li Ge believed this, reported to Zhang Qu, and casually persuaded: "I will wait for these 3,000 soldiers, in front of the 100,000 army of Muhan, but like ants, why don't you give him wine and food, let him go secretly, and protect the people of Longde Mansion." ”

Zhang Qu squinted his eyes and said: "Give Jin Yu wine and food, and Jin Yu will pass through Longde and not enter?" ”

Li Ge said: "The small town of Longde, the golden people may not intend to do this. ”

Zhang Qu asked: "In the sticky Han village, how to arrange it, where to put the grain and grass, and what is the morale of the Khitan, Bohai, and grassland barbarian departments, can the public see it?" ”

Li Ge Muran: "This ...... Didn't see it. ”

Zhang Qu sneered: "Don't be a traitor? "Hu left and right to take down Li Ge and pass the first four cities.

Wang Yu did not sit idly by and watch Yan Muhan tighten the encirclement, he constantly personally led or sent small groups of elites to attack the weak points in the encirclement, or went out through the cracks in the encirclement to attack small groups of gold soldiers who were cutting wood. Since 13 October, the siege has been fought on a small scale, but with great intensity and brutality. Due to Wang Yu's bravery and strategy, as well as the Song army's familiarity with the complex terrain of the local area, the Song army won many victories. However, as the encirclement tightened and the Jin army's company camp was built, the balance of victory gradually tilted to the side of the Jin soldiers, and the defenders of Lund gradually shrank back into the city. The small battles that had been frequent in the past gradually stopped, and there was a strange calm in the city. However, both sides understood that this calm was only an illusion, and that a final decisive battle could take place at any time.

On October 20, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city.

Wanyan Sticky Han still uses the set of driving people to fill the trenches. But most of the people near Lund were persuaded to leave, fled, and some had nothing to worry about, and lived in the city of Lund, to fight to the death with the gold thieves, only a few hid in the mountains, were found by the Jin soldiers, this group of people were driven to the edge of the trench, and threw down the earthen baskets of firewood and grass they were carrying, and suddenly there was a shout on the side of the city wall of Lund, and the Song army in the city actually rushed out.

There were many sheep and horse walls between the city wall and the moat, about one person high, blocking the view of the Jin soldiers. Wang Yu expected that the Jin soldiers would attack from this side, so he dug more than ten protruding gates on the city wall, covering them with adobe bricks on weekdays, and when it was critical, they opened them with elite protrusions, and the Jin soldiers were paying attention to whether the city gate was open, so it was not until the Song army came out of the protruding gate that many people came out.

The Song army Xuanfeng, who rushed out of the gate, poured out from behind the sheep and horse wall, and the people who filled the city to protect the city saw the soldiers of the brigade holding white swaying blades to kill, and they threw down the straw bags and firewood bundles in their hands and fled backwards. The Song army immediately rushed up along the filled moat, and the Jin soldiers of the war team wanted to come forward to fight, but they were thrown into chaos by the fleeing people, and the Song troops who came out to raid were all wearing the armor of the Jin soldiers in advance, and only a piece of white cloth wrapped around the right shoulder was used to distinguish them, and the Jin soldiers were disrupted in formation, and the people and the enemy were mixed together, and they were immediately inseparable from the enemy and me, and they were caught off guard, and some even killed each other. At this time, the north gate of Longde City was opened, the drawbridge was also put down, and a group of men and horses were killed, it was Wang Yu who personally led the team, Wang Yu selected elite warriors in the Song army, and gave them a generous meal on weekdays, which was twice as sharp as the regular army, and the armor was particularly sharp, and the enemy was used to go first, and the end was very powerful.

Wanyan Muhan sent a team of Jurchen soldiers to form several phalanxes with crossbowmen sandwiched between the phalanxes.

As soon as he saw the enemy driving the people to fill the city in the morning, he understood the opponent's plan, and he ordered the city head to gradually reduce the crossbowmen, giving the opponent a lack of crossbowmen on the side defending the city, and he had gradually accepted the illusion that the city guard was filled; On the one hand, more than 200 Xuanfeng were secretly dispatched from the pre-dug protrusion, and the elite guards were disarmed, fed and rested, and waited for the fighters. When he saw that the enemy had been in formation for more than two hours, and the soldiers were exhausted, he opened the door for a surprise attack, and he ordered the city gate and drawbridge not to be closed, giving the enemy the illusion that there would be reinforcements coming out. He ordered his subordinates to bring more torches, sulfur and other arsonist objects, hoping to burn the enemy's equipment in one fell swoop. He secretly prayed in his heart: "If the sky has eyes to protect the people of the city of Longde, so that my surprise attack is successful, and the enemy's weapons are burned, I can delay the work for more than ten days."
