226 The Great Defeat of Yan Gao (1)

Wanyan Gao's 350,000 troops, all the way south, difficult to meet the enemy, along the way of the state generals, either abandon the city to flee, or not a single blow, so although these places carried out a strong wall clearing, but because of the continuous destruction of the four state cities, the Jin people not only obtained a large amount of grain, grass and gold and silver, but also plundered 500,000 people.

Of course, the number of deaths is a little more than half a million. The wealthy and huge rooms in these cities were looted, and the men became slaves, and the women became the playthings of the golden people. Thousands of families wail, thousands of doors are desperate......

In late September, the main force of the Jinren East Route Army, which had been smooth sailing, took most of the prefectures and counties north of the Daimyo Mansion with almost zero casualties, and then besieged the Daimyo's Mansion.

As early as when the Jin people were still 300 miles away, Yin Wang Jiaming, the new governor of Taiming Mansion, gave an order under the pretext of going to the peak: "Let all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty go south to Kaifeng to defend Tokyo." So he abandoned the city and fled, along with the chief of the soldiers and horses. Among the government officials, only the government official Xiao Yigong stayed behind to guard the government office.

Seeing the dignified town in the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty and the gateway to Kaifeng, the Daimyo's Mansion has become an undefended city.

Xiao Yigong can't do it, there are only a few hundred catches around him, and there is no one to call.

So he personally went to the Hou Mansion, visited the old Hou Ye Zhongshidao, and asked him to come out and lead the people of the city to resist the Jinren.

The old marquis said that although he is old, he still has the world in mind. He said to Xiao Yigong: "The first good man in Hebei, Lu Junyi, the great hero of the Northland, is here, and he should be invited to preside over the guarding of the whole city." He is the eldest disciple of the martial god Zhou Daxia, both civil and military, and he can protect the Daimyo's mansion by coming forward. ”

"There are two advantages to having him sit in the Daimyo's Mansion: First, his wife Jia Shi is the head of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his subordinates have thousands of guards to protect their caravans. The second is that Lu Junyi and Yang Zaixing, the son of the old general Yang of Taihang Mountain, are brothers, and they have a good relationship, and he is responsible for guarding. In addition, in order to prevent the Jin people from going south, the old man also quietly left a soldier and horse outside the city, which the old man could not afford to raise privately, and Lu Junyi asked his wife to pay for it. If you add this army of soldiers and horses, and then recruit one or two thousand people, you will be 100% sure. ”

The old marquis privately increased the guards of the 3,000 marquis mansion to 5,000, which is a tacit thing for everyone, but I didn't expect the old marquis to raise private soldiers somewhere outside the city, which is a surprise......

In this way, Lu Junyi naturally became the agent of the Daimyo Mansion to stay behind. Around him, there were already 20,000 horses supported by Shuibo Liangshan, plus the escort team, as well as the 30,000 Yang family troops brought by Yang Zhi, the Hou Mansion guards, etc., and he got 60,000 elite soldiers in an instant.

A few days before the battle, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce paid for the recruitment of 30,000 young men to help defend the city, and 30,000 female workers helped cook and care for the wounded.

It's just that the generals are a little idle, except for Yang Zhi, Wang Da and Wang Fa, there are only Li Zhong and Zhou Tong. But on the eve of the war, Fang La sent Shi Xiu, Yue Fei, Luo Yanqing, Gao Chong and others from Huaixi. This time, Lu Junyi's subordinates can be called brave soldiers.

On September 22, the day after Wan Yan Gao's soldiers besieged the Daimyo's Mansion, Wan Yan Gao sent a general Wan Yan Poison Dragon to take 5,000 men and horses to challenge outside the south gate. Wanyan Poison Dragon is a Jurchen, who grew up between the white mountains and black waters since he was a child, and his strength is infinite, and he doesn't even have a surname.

Among the tens of thousands of Jurchens, there are many warriors, this time with Wan Yan Gao on the expedition there are Wan Yan Poison Dragon, Wan Yan Poison Tiger, Wan Yan Poison Lion, Wan Yan Poison Leopard, everyone has the courage of ten thousand invincibles, known as the dragon, tiger, lion, leopard four warriors. Because they have grown up in a harsh environment since childhood, their skin is thick and strong, and ordinary bows and arrows can only cause them minor injuries.

These four men were not only brave, but also cruel. If you are hungry on the battlefield, you can tear the captured captives alive and eat them.

After Lu Junyi saw that Yan Poison Dragon had no one there, he shouted and cursed, and after discussing with Yang Zhi and others for a while, he asked Yang Zhi to take three thousand men and horses to meet the battle, and Yue Fei and Luo Yanqing watched the formation. Gao Zhong wanted to fight, Lu Junyi said: "You can succeed in the battle, but you can kill, after the enemy army is defeated and retreats, you will chase desperately, if you are surrounded by more than 100,000 golden elite cavalry, the soldiers of the whole city will not save you from coming back." ”

So Yang Zhiren opened the city gate, and he, Yue Fei and Luo Yanqing, took three thousand cavalry out of the city to meet the battle.

After Yang Zhi left the city, he stopped at a distance of five hundred steps outside the city, handed over the three thousand cavalry to Yue Fei and Luo Yanqing, and he himself took a hundred steps forward, came to the front of the formation, and immediately shouted with a horizontal sword: "I am Yang Zhi, the general under Lu Junyi, who was left behind in the Daimyo Mansion, and the golden dog who called the battle just now came to send him to death." ”

Wanyan Poison Dragon rode a horse, rushed over in a hurry, and shouted: "Look at me Wanyan Poison Dragon coming to take your life." ”

Holding a mace, he hit Yang Zhi with his head and face, and Yang Zhi hurriedly raised a big knife to face him. After more than ten rounds, Yang Zhi said in his heart: "Wanyan Poison Dragon is really brave, and his martial arts are comparable to Lin Chong and Luda, and after I fight Lily with him, I will definitely not be able to resist it." ”

At the moment, the pretending strength was not good, and after barely taking two hits, Le Ma fled back to his own position. After the Yan poisonous dragon slapped the horse, he chased it.

On the Jin soldier array, the two lieutenant generals saw that the main general had won and chased after them with 5,000 cavalry.

Yue Fei and Luo Yanqing saw that Yang Zhi was defeated, and the enemy's five thousand cavalry had already chased after them, and hurriedly fled to the city with three thousand cavalry.

Lu Junyi watched Yue Fei on the city wall and they fled back, and ordered the city gate to be closed. The junior colonel at the city gate was puzzled: "Those three generals and three thousand men and horses are being chased and killed by the enemy, aren't they helpless after closing the city gate?" ”

Lu Junyi said: "Confused! You don't see that our horses are slow, but Jinren's horses are fast. If we didn't close the gate quickly, our 3,000 cavalry had not yet finished entering, and the Jin people rushed to the entrance of the city. They took this opportunity to take the south gate, and the Jin people took the opportunity to launch a general attack on the Daimyo's mansion. Which of their 3,000 lives is more important than the millions of inhabitants of the city? ”

Hearing Lu Liushou say this, the little colonel in charge of the city gate had to order the south gate to be closed with tears in his eyes.

Yue Fei and Luo Yanqing saw that the city gate had been closed, so they had to flee separately on both sides with 1,500 cavalry. The enemy cavalry also split into two and pursued them in both directions.

And Wanyan Poison Dragon kept biting Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi took out a broomstick-like thing from his arms, and said to Wanyan Poison Dragon: "Look at your uncle's magic weapon." ”

Wanyan Poison Dragon sneered, "If you have a legal protection, you won't run away. ”

The voice did not fall, only listened to "Wow! Bang! Bang! "Three cannon canes sounded, and the poisonous dragon head of Wanyan burst into a bloody hole and knocked down the horse......

The sound of gunfire is an order, and the cavalry of the three thousand Daimyo Mansion has formed an encirclement of the five thousand gold soldiers at this time. Hearing the sound of gunfire, each man took out a two-foot-long javelin from his back and threw it at the enemy horsemen, each of whom threw three in succession, and most of the five thousand enemy horsemen were killed and wounded.

The 3,000 cavalry immediately narrowed the encirclement, and each threw two javelins, and none of the 5,000 enemy cavalry was still on horseback.

Yang Zhi shouted: "Mend the knife, take back the javelin." At this time, the city gate had already been opened, Shi Xiu and Gao Chong had already brought thousands of infantry to lead those ownerless war horses, and after a while, the battlefield was cleaned up, and only the corpses of thousands of gold people were left outside the south gate to show under the blue sky......
