Chapter 497: Chasing the Golden Man

The two emperors, each riding a black war horse, followed the Han army and went out of the city to besiege the Jin soldiers.

The Jin soldiers began to flee north, and the Han army wanted to block them south of the Yellow River.

Yao Youzhong, Zhang Shuye and other Song generals who were trusted by the Han princes took over Kaifeng City and reorganized its defense.

Because of the victory, the morale of the Song army and the Baojia militia soared, and they had the confidence to fight against the Jin soldiers, and without the emperor and a group of ministers in the way, Yao Youzhong, Zhang Shuye and others played even better.

"What about the two Majesties?"

"The heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals have gone out of the city to pursue the golden soldiers."

"Two Majesties, how could they fight......"

A group of Song ministers looked at each other, their two emperors, their two emperors, calligraphy and painting are okay, when will they have the ability to fight with the Jin soldiers?

"Jin Bing fled north, a little strange. Last year, the Jin soldiers attacked Taiyuan and besieged it for nine months. They are in Bianjing, and they will not leave so easily. ”

Uncle Zhang led the soldiers and civilians to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, and most of the outer city of Kaifeng City was burned down.

A black warhawk hovered in the air, tracking the route of the golden soldiers.

Wanyan Zongwang saw the hovering war eagle: "That eagle, it's spying on our whereabouts." The troops were divided into two routes and assembled in Huazhou. Each line of soldiers and horses was divided into two ways to confuse the war eagles. The soldiers who remained in the Guanzhong area were ordered to retreat to Taiyuan. ”

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan each led a part of the soldiers and horses, and divided the troops and marched together.

Warhawk's simple mind could not discern the tactics of the golden soldiers, so he returned.

"The Jin soldiers seem to have divided their forces, and a war eagle can't pursue them."

Joan of Arc takes Mulan's place, caressing the warhawk's supple wings.

"Send out two or three war eagles and track them at the same time, and we will split up in two ways. But be careful. Chu Tian opened a rough map in his hand: "It is very likely that the Jin soldiers will cross the Yellow River from Li Gudu in Huazhou, flee to Hebei, and then go north along the way. There is also a possible route to flee north via Puyang and the Daimyofu. ”

Mingguan reined in a tall horse, holding a double-hooked gun with a length of one foot and two feet, and the one-meter-nine tall Mingguan was one of the most powerful people among the players.

Mingguan said: "To the north of Li Gudu are Liyang and Xiangzhou, and there may be a Song soldier active in the local area, and there are many Jin soldiers at the same time. Zong Ze should be in Puyang at this time, and Zhao Gou is in the Daimyo's Mansion. Jin Bing is most likely to go to Huazhou and Xiangzhou. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Jin soldiers will divide the troops into two ways. Zong Ze and Zhao Construct want to block the strengthened Jin Bing, and the possibility is almost zero. ”

Lao Qin came over: "Our soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to chase Yan Zongwang, all the way to Yan Zonghan." ”

The princes of the Han Empire quickly pieced together and divided into two routes to pursue and kill the two Jin soldiers respectively. One of them, with Chutian, Huo An, Tongque, Sun Jian, Hu Ma, Mu Ke, Xu Fengnian and other princes as the main force, and the other road with Lao Qin, Mingguan, Shuo Tang, Zhao Long, Liu Bei, Tian Qi, Wang Defa and other princes as the main force.

They did not bring the Song army, but left the Song army to defend Kaifeng to prevent the Jin cavalry from making a big detour, and then capture Kaifeng. In Guanzhong, there are also two terrible commanders of the Jin State, the soldiers and horses of Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Lou, who are blocking the Western Army of the Song State.

However, in the face of the pursuit of the Han army, it was extremely difficult for the Jin cavalry to turn back and attack Kaifeng.

The golden soldiers pursued by Chutian were Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Route Army, while the golden soldiers pursued by Lao Qin and Mingguan were Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army.

"Two Song Emperors, how should we divide them?"

"Take one along the way, maybe they are emperors, and they have special bonuses."

Chutian wanted to leave Song Huizong, and Lao Qin kidnapped Song Qinzong and led the two emperors to hunt down the Jin soldiers.

Song Huizong has a great background, create a thin gold body, poetry, calligraphy and painting are all fine, reuse Cai Jing, Tong Guan, the last years of the reign, the outbreak of the Song Jiang Uprising, Fang La Uprising, Jin Bing went south, after serious illness, had to pass the throne to Song Qinzong. At this time, Song Huizong's health improved, but he forcibly drove the expedition in person, and after some bumps, he vomited and diarrhea, and lost the bearing of the emperor.

Song Huizong is similar to Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, both are good at art, but they are not the material of being an emperor.

"Sun Wentai, is Hefei easy to fight?"

On the way to pursue the Jin soldiers, Chu Tian talked with the other princes.

Sun Jian was assigned to his team, and Chu Tian mentioned the Battle of Hefei to him.

Sun Jian met the defender Zhang Liao in the Battle of Hefei, as well as the Yang generals and Li Guang who supported Hefei, and suffered a loss, and heard Chu Tian take the initiative to mention the Battle of Hefei, and his face was not good.

Chu Tianzhen can't open any pot.

"This should be Sun Bofu, sure enough, he is a hero from ancient times, and he should be like Sun Bofu when he gives birth to a son."

Chu Tian sighed with emotion.

If his son grew up and had such an attribute as Sun Ce, Chu Tian would indeed be quite satisfied.

Sun Ce, as the little overlord of Jiangdong, after reaching the peak of his armed forces, was at least on par with Tai Shici, and his ability to command soldiers and horses to fight should be stronger than Tai Shici.

Sun Jian saw Chu Tian staring at his son Sun Ce, how could he feel that Chu Tian had bad intentions and wanted to kidnap his son?

"Chu Zimou, the revenge of Hefei, he will revenge it in the future."

Sun Jian was also a prince who would not easily admit defeat, and he saw that Chu Tian intended to provoke the topic of the Battle of Hefei, so he refuted it.

When the young Sun Ce looked at Chu Tian, he was full of fighting spirit.

In Sun Ce's view, if he wants to surpass his father Sun Jian, then he must defeat the enemy who frustrated Sun Jian in order to prove his bravery.

"Chu Zimou, do you want to win over my brother-in-law?"

Tongque was not very relieved about Chu Tian either.

To be honest, he was not very willing to team up with Chutian, after all, the two of them had a battle in Hefei not long ago.

Although the main consumption was the soldiers and horses of the headquarters brought by Sun Jian from Changsha, Tongque also sent a team of reinforcements over, and it was not possible to take Hefei, and Jiangdong was always threatened.

"Ahem, what's the ......?"

Of course, Chu Tian had thought about digging the corner of the bronze bird and drawing Sun Jian into his camp.

After being recognized by the bronze sparrow, Chu Tian dispelled his thoughts.

"My righteous brother took me in when I was in danger, and I will definitely not betray my righteous brother, even if it is death, I will never regret it."

Sun Jian's relationship with Tongque seems to be good.

Chu Tian also has a decent relationship with a group of local generals, but Mi Fang is just Mi Fang......

"Are the Mongol cavalry north of the Tianshan Mountains eager to attack the Tianshan Mountains?"

Chu Tian touched Sun Jian's nose, so he turned his head to Huo An to ask about the Western Regions.

It seems that the Western Regions and the Central Plains are separated by thousands of miles, and they are not unrelated, but in fact they are not. First of all, the Western Regions is also the sphere of influence of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and every inch of land must be contested, and secondly, the Western Regions are occupied by the Mongol cavalry, and the whole of East Asia will fall into the encirclement of the Mongol Empire.

The presence of Hoan is important. If another person guards the Western Regions, then it is very likely that the Mongol cavalry has already captured the Western Regions. Huo An's military general, Huo Quai, fought against the Mongol cavalry to equalize each other.

"The Mongol Empire has about two million people who have migrated to the Tianshan Mountains, and they have secretly colluded with the countries of the Western Regions to betray me. I have ordered the Lord of the Books King Xuan Ce to kill the kings of the Western Regions who have evil intentions. I have been operating in the Western Regions for many years, how can the Mongolian cavalry interfere? ”

From Huo An's answer, it seems that the Mongol Empire was infiltrating the Western Regions and wanted to conquer the Western Regions and Central Asia.

Huo An dared to declare war on Central Asia, naturally he had the confidence to integrate the 36 countries of the Western Regions, with a population of 10 million, and the population of the Mongol Empire that migrated to the north of the Tianshan Mountains was only 2 million.

In the era of cold weapons, population could decide a lot of things, so comparing data on paper, Hoan had no reason to be afraid of the Mongol cavalry.

Mu Ke, the lord from Nanban, dismantled the stage: "Don't listen to him brag." He fought against Subutai and Muhuali of the Mongol Empire north of the Tianshan Mountains and was almost defeated. If it weren't for the hard work of Huo Quzhi, Chen Tang and others, the Mongol Empire also had its own epic battles, perhaps the north of the Tianshan Mountains would have been completely occupied by the Mongol cavalry. ”

Huo An hurriedly said: "Keke......"

Mu Ke was still outspoken, and he didn't give Huo An face at all: "Let everyone know that the situation in the Western Regions is more beneficial to the Han Empire, and now is not the time to be heroic." The advantage of our Han Empire over the West is not precisely collectivism? ”

Huo An shrugged helplessly: "The Mongol Empire captured a group of Western craftsmen and West Asian craftsmen in the last war. As you should know, ancient Arabia, Persia, and the West also had considerable engineering achievements. For example, the counterweight trebuchet of the Arabs, the crossbow of Genoa...... I don't know what technology the Mongol Empire acquired from it. And the mobilization rate of the Mongol Empire was very high, so I still suffered a small loss. ”

Chu Tian's and his entourage had a gloomy expression.

The Mongol Empire could draw a qualified warrior from about ten people, or even eight people from a single soldier. The Mongol tribes north of the Tianshan Mountains can form a cavalry army of 200,000 people, which sounds terrifying.

But this is the real situation. The Mongol Empire relied on a small population to conquer vast lands.

When the Liao State and the Jin State were at their peak, the population of the headquarters was actually very sparse.

Agrarian civilization cannot do ten people to send one soldier.

During the Warring States Period, there was no strict separation of soldiers and peasants, and only when the old, young, young and strong who transported grain were counted, did they have that scale.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, the actual scale of the battles rarely exceeded 100,000.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty crusaded against the Xiongnu, mobilized more than 100,000 cavalry, and used hundreds of thousands of infantry and farmers to transport grain and grass in the rear.

If according to the calculation method of the Warring States, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu in the Battle of Mobei, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent at least 600,000 troops. The professional soldiers who actually fought were more than 100,000 people from Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

The territory of the Western Regions of Huo'an is partly a nomadic civilization, but there is also an agricultural civilization. The oases of the Western Regions, the Ili River Valley, and the Dawan Kingdom are suitable for growing grain.

In the face of a pure nomadic tribe, Huo An was still a little struggling.

Especially in the Western Regions, there is almost no danger.

"If the Western Regions are really in an emergency, the Han Empire can stop the war, open the teleportation array of the Western Regions and Monan, attack the Mongol Empire, and incorporate Mobei into the territory."

Chu Tian proposed that in an emergency, all the princes join forces to recover Mobei.

"Let's talk about it then, the Western Regions will not be so easily annexed by the Mongol Empire."

Huo An's eyes were determined.

A group of princes marched north, and Wanyan Zongwang, whom they were pursuing, was deploying on the way.

"Wushu, you lead Tiefutu and go to Li Gudu to collect boats to cross the river."

"Wan Yanchang, you led the Xi Sixth Route Army and the surrendered Song Army."

Wanyan Zongwang sent Jin Wushu to the north, and after the deputy general Wanyan Chang broke off, he fought to lead the Han army to Li Gudu in Huazhou, and encircled and annihilated the Han army with Wanyan Zonghan.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang wanted to collect ships and prepare for the war to be unfavorable and retreat to the north of the Yellow River.

On the other side, the princes of the Han army such as Lao Qin pursued the Western Route Army of the Jin soldiers.

Jin Wushu took 6,000 Tiefutu to the south this time (originally 3,000, the number doubled), and killed hundreds of horsemen in Kaifeng City, Jin Wushu handed over 2,000 Tiefutu to Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Route Army, and there were only more than 3,000 Tiefutu around him.

After the system bonus, the Iron Floating Slaughter has been added to various attributes similar to the ninth-order Xuanjia cavalry with Chu Tian's bonus, or even stronger.

This is the most feared class of troops in the Jin Army.

"Yinshuke, you lead the main force north. I personally led 2,000 Iron Floaters and 5,000 kidnappers and horses to ambush in this forest. After all the enemies have passed, come out of the woods and surprise the enemy position. You go back to fight and defeat the enemy. ”

Wanyan Zonghan handed over the large army of the Western Route Army to Wanyan Yinshuke for an ambush.

Wan Yan Yinshu said: "There are strategists among the enemy, and it is easy to see through the ambush. ”

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes had murderous intent: "This is exactly what I am worried about, so I ambush the troops far away from the official road, and then make a roundabout attack from the rear, and I can get all the credit." Troops are sent at night, and the war eagles are difficult to detect. ”
