Chapter 169: Trapped Beast
At midnight, everyone had dinner early, and they also brought dry food on their bodies, dressed neatly, and after Zong Bi, Zong Xian and others met, thousands of horsemen gathered together, after leaving the city, they met with the rest of the soldiers and horses, more than 40,000 horsemen gradually gathered into a black iron stream on the land of Hebei on a rainy night, the night was dark, the sky was moonless and starless, only a lightning bolt crossed the night sky from time to time, and a small number of pine oil torches, not afraid of rain, lighting the way for this cavalry team.
Starting from the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, the pure cavalry galloped, and without any hindrance, it only took five or six days to reach Yanjing.
The front of the Jin soldiers has been all occupied by the Song army, starting from the daimyo not long after, it is necessary to pass through Xingzhou, which is controlled by the Song army, fortunately, most of the main forces of the Song army are stationed along the Yanjing line, Xingzhou is dominated by the righteous army, only a small number of forbidden infantry crossbowmen, with the righteous army to defend the city, see the brigade of Jin soldiers galloping near the city, the Song army and the righteous army gongs and drums sounding together, the long distance began to release arrows, see the endless flow of Jin soldiers swarming, the Song army generals defending the city are anxious to jump their feet, but Xingzhou is just a buffer, There is no configuration of a large number of long-range weapons, with the strength of the Song army in the city, I am afraid that the battle and volley are not enough for everyone to rush together, and they can only keep beating drums and gongs at the moment.
Breaking through the Xingzhou defense line so smoothly, Jin Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
Zong Bi knew that things were not so easy, the front was Enzhou, and then it was Zhending, after Zhending, Xiongzhou, Feihu, Tianzhou and other states and counties south of Yanjing, most of them had fallen into the hands of the Song army, although Zong Han waited for Zong Bi to lead the army, he would go out of Yanjing to invite the Song army, and attack from both sides to cover the Jin soldiers in the north, just all the way through the hundred cities of Chizhou County. All of them have fallen into the hands of the enemy, the future is uncertain, and the way back is extremely difficult.
The development of things was as Zong Bi expected. Xingzhou is easy to pass, but most of the rest of the states and counties along the way have a large number of forbidden troops, and they get the gold soldiers to go north in advance, and build a large number of horses and wooden fences along the way, under the cover of the infantry. Arrange archers around, as soon as the golden soldiers rush, it is like a rain of arrows like rain clouds, the golden soldiers do not dare to fight, after opening the passage, they are deserted and fleeing.
It's really timed. More than 30,000 soldiers of the forbidden army went out of the city to invite the battle, and Wanyan Huonu and other 10,000 officers were very embarrassed along the way, and finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, regardless of Zong Bi's opposition. led the troops to attack the enemy formation, but it was Yao Duan and Zhang Xian who were encountered, first with Yao Duan's cavalry to entangle and defeat the morale of the Jin soldiers, and then the foot soldiers held Mo knives and spears, stepped forward to cover the kill, and then a large number of crossbowmen diffused. The two forbidden armies were equipped with a large number of assault rifles, and after a volley of bang bang, the war horses were frightened, and the Jin Soldier Brigade was chaotic and collapsed.
Wanyan Ba and other thousands of households saw that the situation was not good, and they had already retreated with the whole division, but Wanyan had already had the idea of death, and saw that the whole army was defeated again, and it has been dozens of days. Jin Bing will be defeated in every battle, and he is a young man. The blood is booming, where can it withstand such a blow, at the moment I saw the defeated soldiers in front of me, but the beautiful girl was red-eyed, regardless of the killing ahead, his own soldiers saw the commander like this, but they did not dare to abandon it, dozens of people in the tide of tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, difficult to move forward, slowly also led many people to impact back, trying to kill the pursuing Song army.
Seeing this, Wanyan Huowen was overjoyed, and couldn't help but raise her arms and shouted: "Jurchen man, how can you let the Southern Barbarian just fight like this and run away like a dog?" It's a good man, follow me to kill again! ”
was screaming, but he heard the strong wind howling in his ears, and the soldiers around him were already exclaiming, and several people quickly shot out their spears together, and the girl only heard a loud bang behind her, but it was a loud sound from the weapons connecting each other.
After he turned around, he saw that it was a general of the enemy, young and handsome, although his face was covered with blood, his expression was calm, and he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he must be a general who has been in battle for a long time and has killed countless people, so he will have such a calm temperament on this battlefield.
When the other party saw him staring, he immediately grinned, raised the iron spear in his hand diagonally, and said, "You are not wronged if you die under my Zhang Xian's spear." ”
After a few strokes, almost no one around Wanyan Huonu is his enemy, Wanyan Huonu is conceited and brave, but she also knows that she is by no means the opponent of this Song general. He knew that he was not lucky, so he immediately asked calmly: "Please ask the general to respect his name, and he doesn't want to be a ghost who died unjustly." ”
This person has lived in Han for a long time, and he speaks fluently in Sinicization, and his way of thinking is actually a little closer to the Han people, and it is the custom of the Han people to understand the ghost.
Seeing him so calmly, the Song general looked at him with curious eyes. After seeing that Yan Huonu was indeed not afraid at all, she immediately smiled and said: "You are also a warrior, surrender, spare you from dying." ”
Wanyan Huonu ignored the other party's persuasion to surrender, but asked calmly: "The general's surname?" ”
The Song general finally showed a look of admiration, slowly raised the iron spear with one hand, and replied, "Zhang Xian." ”
Wanyan Huonu nodded and smiled, and said, "It turned out to be General Zhang, and it was indeed unjust to die, and it was worth it." ”
Zhang Xian has been famous for a long time, and he is Yue Fei's right-hand man in the Yue family's army, and he is indeed not unjust when he died in the hands of Zhang Xian. Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Xian was very proud, and as soon as the iron spear in his hand was sent, he had already stabbed Wanyan to death with a spear, and when the other party's body fell to the ground, Zhang Xian casually ordered: "This enemy general is not an ordinary product, check if there are any tokens on him, write down his name, and bury him." ”
The soldiers around him listened to the order, immediately dismounted, went to check, and when they saw the letter cards and other things on Yan Huonu's body, they knew that they had beheaded the enemy army again, and the Song army was naturally jubilant.
At the beginning of the Song and Jin wars, it was already a great feats to be able to kill one hundred households. And this year, since the beginning of the war, they have killed more than 10,000 high-ranking generals of the enemy, and the decline of the golden soldiers can be seen from this.
The Song army was jubilant in the array, the cheers shook the sky, but the Jin soldiers were depressed, if in front of the superior Song soldiers or heavy infantry, the defeat of the Jin soldiers could still find an excuse, and when facing the Song army, which was not more numerous than themselves and was not very well-equipped, it was also defeated. All the generals above and below the Jin soldiers are bright in their hearts, and the morale of the army has been lost, and when they arrive near Yanjing, if Zong Han's rescue is not effective, the only end is the destruction of the whole army.
The Jin soldiers, who were frightened in their hearts and were repeatedly attacked, reluctantly reorganized their troops to fight again, and this time easily repelled the pursuit of Yao Duan's few cavalry, causing Yao Duan's troops to suffer heavy casualties. Although Yao Duan is good at cavalry warfare, his subordinates are also elite, but compared with the Jin soldiers, they are not much stronger, and they cannot be compared with the terrible combat power of the back cub army, and the number is small. The Jin soldiers of the brigade made a detour, avoided the Song army's infantry formation, bypassed the city of Zhendingfu, and went straight to the direction of Yanjing.
In the land of Hebei in June, heavy rains fall frequently, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, the ditches along the way swell, the original inconspicuous river, can become a roaring dragon in an instant, the golden soldiers have blocked along the way, there is a pursuit, the sky rains hard, and the road and bridge are built along the way, it is really miserable.
A few years ago, the same army, full of pride, from the ice and snow to the north, all the way to the south, killed the weak Han people frightened, the wife of the money, let others ask for it, to this day, the fleeing and returning Jin soldiers all the way to fight less and less, more and more embarrassed, many people lost their armor, their robes were shabby, their bodies were stained with blood, their expressions were embarrassed, and they could not see the shadow of the elite soldiers at all. Finally to the territory of Dexiongzhou, this place is less than 100 miles away from Yanjing, it is already very close, according to the agreement between Zong Han and Zong Bi, Zong Han will scatter the cavalry near Xiongzhou, Zong Bi symbolic attack, so that after the rangers know, they will cooperate with the two armies, attack together, open the defense line built by the Song army here, and rescue Zong Bi's army to return to Yanjing City.
Looking at the strong barriers, the red flag spread for dozens of miles, the Song army camp, not only ordinary Jin soldiers, but also Zong Bi gasped.
Although the time is not long, but the Hebei Han people have been looking forward to the king for a long time, and the Song army has not let the people down, Lu You's "family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell Nai Weng" a poem has not yet come out, the Song army arrived, more than a million Hebei Han people were ecstatic, under the command of the Song army, together with the original righteous army, helped the Song army to build the fortifications, less than ten days of effort, the entire front has been built extremely strong, the horse and deer antlers are everywhere, the sentry tower Diao Dou is connected into a piece, Zong Bi looked at it for a while, and already knew that if it was with the strength of his own army, Wanting to break through such a front defense is simply wishful thinking.
However, after all the hard work to get here, and he made an appointment with Zong Han, Zong Bi naturally refused to give up this last chance. He is worthy of being the commander of the Jurchen Sect who is the best at battlefield command, the camera found a slightly weak defensive front of the Song army, and carefully selected thousands of elite horsemen, pretending to be a momentum, the sound of fighting is heard clearly for more than ten miles, but the Song army is tightly defended, and there is no effect under the rush, to Zong Bi here to move together, there is also a shouting of killing on the opposite side, vaguely see the opposite side of the Jin State flag, from Zong Bi below, everyone is relieved, knowing that there is hope for breaking the siege.
Zong Bi I was strong, knowing that it was best to motivate morale at this time, and when the soldiers who feinted to attack retreated, they killed a group of Song troops who attacked behind them, and the whole camp was completed, Zong Bi summoned the generals, and only said: "The prince of Zonghan is on the opposite side, according to the agreement, after the two sides are connected, the whole army will be exhausted tomorrow and break the siege together!" ”
