Chapter 52: The Battle of Tongguan (20)

With his order, the tall and heavy city gate slowly opened, with the Mongolian Baihu Hele and China people in front, and three hundred Mongolian cavalry and three hundred forbidden army cavalry behind, staring at the black and oppressive golden soldiers outside the city.

"Kill!"

Hele waved the iron spear in his hand first, and rushed out first. In today's world, when it comes to bloodthirstiness and bravery, only the evil wolf from the grassland can be completely unafraid of the Jurchens from the white mountains and black waters.

Behind him, six hundred iron horsemen rushed out like a whirlwind, and hundreds of iron spears flew up and down, killing hundreds of Han troops near the city gate.

"Defeated, Jurchen dog defeated!"

In the same way as the Mongol cavalry who rushed out, tens of thousands of people in the city began to shout together, the sound of which drowned out the rumbling drums.

In the depths of the intense fire and smoke, hundreds of cavalrymen in red armor began to burn all the enemies who dared to stop them in their path.

Moxibustion burns like fire, and it is easy to be opened!

"Bang!" With a wielding of the mace in his hand, Chi Na smashed the helmet and skull of a small officer to shreds, and blood and brains splashed out and threw them into the sky, and then fell on the forehead, eyes, nose, and lips of the stunned golden soldiers.

The murderer is always killed, and the retribution is unpleasant. They killed a lot of weak Song troops, people who had no resistance, and at this time, when they saw Chi who was smiling and waving his mace, the kind of cruel smile like a fierce god of hell struck these strong soldiers who claimed to be a hundred battles in an instant.

"Run!" I don't know who screamed in my throat first. Then it converged into a wave of sounds, hundreds and thousands of Han soldiers turned their feet upside down and ran desperately towards the rear, shouting as they ran, some were chased by the Mongol cavalry, some of them resisted a little, and then immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered, and some reacted a little late, or were poked in the heart. Or you'll be beaten to pieces with a stick.

Han Chang trembled all over, eager to slap himself a few times. He knew that it was Shicai's order that first messed up the formation and confused the morale of his subordinates, so after the other party rushed out and slaughtered out of the city gate like chopping melons and vegetables, the rest of the soldiers not only did not resist each other, but immediately lost their will to fight and fled desperately. Look at the subordinates who are coming like a tide. He closed his eyes in great pain, knowing that at this time, any deterrence of military orders and military law no longer worked. The only way to do this is to run desperately.

"Run." Han Chang smiled bitterly and gave the order. Then he turned and walked away, and he was happy. It's not that he's afraid, but he just wants to take the first step and go to Yan Zongbi to explain the war and explain his responsibility.

Dozens of personal soldiers around him surrounded him, regardless of the chaos behind him. Flee straight to the east.

On the right side of Han Chang's department, there is the army that has been separated from the army, and the Han department is in chaos. and he stirred up their ranks, and fought on them. Where to see a lot clearly, smoke and dust billowing place, only to see the friendly army has opened their teeth and claws desperately fled over, not far behind, but the Mongolian cavalry with a fierce face is in hot pursuit, a little hesitation, is a spear stabbing coming, the person is picked up in the air, and laughing to himself, the gold soldiers were originally a little exhausted, do not want to rush to the city to die, at this time saw that the other party has cavalry killed, as if there is an excuse, everyone coaxed around and turned around, and the first defeated Han army, desperately fled to the rear.

Hele and others first broke through the two soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the chaos of the other party, and mustered up spare strength to rush Wanyan Huonu and other departments, in the melee, Wanyan Huonu was also hit by an arrow, and immediately fell into a coma, and his own soldiers desperately snatched him down, and fled in a crowd.

These golden soldiers were originally all infantry, separated thousands of people to scatter the horses, looking for forage everywhere, if it were not for the late autumn grass is fertile, the fodder for these tens of thousands of war horses is very problematic. Despite this, it is still very difficult, in desperation, I had to raise the war horses separately, but I didn't expect that the city not only did not take down, but also formed this situation of rout and escape, tens of thousands of Jin troops desperately fled, returned to the camp to find war horses, but only 10,000 people succeeded, jumped on the war horse and fled behind the senior general, as for the rest of the Jin soldiers, in the panic, it was too late to find the horse, so they had to spread their legs, followed behind the lucky partner, and fled with each other.

The Song army on the city is also infantry, and extremely tired, although seeing the other side defeated, but after leaving the city only chased two or three miles, killed hundreds of sporadic backward unlucky ghosts, under the desperate resistance of the other party, there are still many people who died in battle, and the Mongols are fierce, and they chased dozens of miles, and those who finally gathered together in one place The gold soldiers were scattered many times, and the opponent's army was in turmoil, although the discipline was better than that of the Song army when the defeat was retreated, and it could resist a little when the enemy army attacked, causing some casualties to the pursuing Mongolian and Song cavalry, It's just that one side is in a hurry to retreat, without command, and the other side is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, full of courage, and most of the soldiers who were chased to Dijin had no intention of resisting, and continued to flee after a little engagement.

In this way, more than 30,000 Jin Guojing horsemen, after abandoning their horses and walking, were driven dozens of miles by more than 600 Mengsong cavalry like rabbits, but the cavalry that escaped first regrouped and came back to respond, and China and Huile and others saw that the other party had re-established, and knew that there was too much difference in strength, and after shooting arrows and killing dozens of people from afar, they left, and on the way back, they inevitably hacked and killed a few unlucky ghosts in the palace, and only then did they end the matter.

At this time, the Jin soldiers were killed and wounded at this time, and most of the Jin soldiers were killed and injured during the siege, and there were very few killed and injured during the rout, because there were too few cavalry in the city, and they were worried that the enemy's strength was not damaged.

At dawn the next day, Hele and the others finally rode back, Zhao Huan and the others did not sleep all night, and they were all happy to see them return safely.

Zhao Huan immediately stepped down the steps, walked out along the city gate, stood at the city gate, and looked at the hundreds of cavalry galloping in the morning light with a smile.

Dozens of steps away from Zhao Huan, Chiwen Hele and the two dismounted first, walked over, and knelt down to Zhao Huan first.

"Decree, the cavalry who went out to pursue yesterday will each be rewarded with ten horses of silk and one hundred taels of silver, and then the prepared beef wine and mutton will be presented over!"

Hele and Chi Na looked at each other and smiled, these rewards were very valuable, ordinary cavalry had such heavy rewards, they were naturally more generous.

It's just that the two of them are not very interested in these rewards, Zhao Huan's identity and status are not very clear to them, after two years of hard work, the former rough Mongolian men have understood that compared with Zhao Huan, the original owner Hebul Khan is simply a small grass under the blue sky and white clouds, insignificant.

Follow Zhao Huan, make contributions, and be more able to be majestic on the battlefield, this is what the Mongolian man desires the most.

Seeing Zhao Huan's happy face, the two knelt down and bowed, stood up again, hugged Zhao Huan's waist lightly in turn, and then hugged and saluted. This is the highest etiquette among the Mongols towards a higher status, which is more solemn and noble than kneeling, and the two of them have already served Zhao Huan to death, so they salute like this.

It's just that this etiquette is a bit nondescript in the eyes of the rest of the Song people. Moreover, these two people were stinking and full of blood, Zhao Huan was wearing a black dragon robe, and when he was hugged by these two people, he was already dirty.

Zhao Huan didn't care, and only smiled at the two of them: "I worked hard last night, I don't know how the damage was, and where the enemy went?" ”

Both of them showed a look of emotion in their eyes, first by Hele in half-baked Chinese, to Zhao Huan said: "Master, the golden dog has been running east, we chased out nearly a hundred miles, fought thirteen times, and scattered the golden dog thirteen times, to the second half of the night, the cavalry of the golden dog came back and began to counterattack, after all, we are too few people, dare not fight them head-on, while walking and retreating, by the moonlight and shot a lot dead, take advantage of enough, this is back." ”

Chi Na continued: "How many people have been killed, I am afraid that it is difficult to count, the spears in the hands of our people have been replaced, the knives have been cut a lot, and my mace has also been broken, I don't know where it has been lost." However, I have roughly estimated that there must have been more than 2,000 people who died in our hands, but unfortunately there are too few of us, otherwise we will scatter the enemy's cavalry and chase him all the way, and we will have to kill him all over the field! ”

His Chinese is much better than Hele, and in the end he used an idiom, and after speaking, he straightened his chest and protruded belly, showing that he was very proud.

Zhao Huan waited for them to finish, then turned back to Zhang Jun and said, "According to Qing's opinion, how are they going?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "The further east, the more my Wang division gathers, I heard that there is a police in Chang'an, and the soldiers in front will definitely send troops back to help, and most of them will cross the river from Longkou and flee to the east of the river." ”

"I was worried about the garrison in the Tongguan area, and when I heard that there were police in Chang'an, I rushed back to help, but as a result, I was attacked by the enemy on my back, and the Qianli Valley Road was useless, and I was taken advantage of by 200,000 strong enemies. He secretly sent a messenger a long time ago and issued a strict decree, ordering Zhao Ding not to transfer a pawn without permission. ”

Zhang Jun showed regret on his face and said to Zhao Huan: "The matter is urgent, and Your Majesty is right to be so strict." Zhang Jun and the others did not have many soldiers and horses, according to the minister's opinion, all walks of life in Yanzhou were afraid that there were enemy soldiers dragging them down, and there was no messenger from Zhang Wei in the past few days, but I was afraid that they did not get out. This group of enemies first lost their strength under the fortified city, and then they were dashed and killed, or we had tens of thousands of strong soldiers suddenly appeared. But I am afraid that they will not be able to cross the river on horseback. In this way, you can take advantage of the emptiness in Hedong, kill the past, collect Pingyang and other places, and use Hedong as the outpost of Longkou and other places, so that you are no longer afraid of being taken advantage of. ”

Zhao Huan stared at the slowly rising sun in the east with his eyes, and after half a sound, he finally shook his head slowly and said: "Zhang Jun is okay, he has a lot of good generals under his command, and he may not know what to do." Besides, I also have a backhand in Hedong, but it is not a dignified duel in the battle array, so I did not inform the privy councillor. ”

Zhang Jun was silent, knowing that it must be the emperor who did something in Hedong by the pedestrian department, but the emperor must not be completely sure now, so he refused to say it.
