Zhang Guangdao's subordinates are all elites, as well as Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, who were subdued by Han Shizhong, and Liu Qi, Wu Jue, Wu Lan and others brought by Yao Pingzhong.

All the above armies were attacking the city, but the defenders were too stubborn, even if there were wooden cannons to suppress the early firepower, they were killed many times when they attacked the city.

Only Wang De has a firm foothold after ascending first, and the follow-up friendly troops continue to ascend to the city.

This person joined the army very late, and Song Huizong ordered King Qin, and he was recruited by Yao Gu.

Until last year, Wang Dedu was just a small soldier. He followed Yao Pingzhong to intercept Brother Richard, and personally killed more than ten Western Xia troops before he was appreciated and promoted to a hundred generals.

In history, in addition to being defeated by Yue Fei, Li Cheng in Shandong was defeated by Wang De once. Han Shizhong at his peak, his subordinates were cut down by Wang De for no reason, and the next time they met, Wang De would have to be called a hero. Wang De also led the infantry to defeat the Jurchen elite cavalry head-on, and killed nearly 10,000 Jin Wushu in a battle, but he only suffered more than 900 casualties, so shocked that Liu Qi called him his brother.

It's a pity that such a fierce general, in the Southern Song Dynasty, has been under the command of Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

Of course, Wang De also has fatal flaws, too arrogant and unruly.

He was transferred to Han Shizhong's command, did not listen to Han Shizhong's orders at all, and killed Han Shizhong's generals who prevented him from sending troops. Another good general, Li Qiong, partnered with him, and he directly forced Li Qiong to rebel against the Song Dynasty and join the pseudo-Qi.

Such a person can only be a fierce general, and it is difficult to convince the public if he commands the side.

However, it is said that Wang De became more and more fierce and led the follow-up friendly troops to capture an entire section of the city wall. After the friendly army gained a firm foothold, he led dozens of soldiers under his command to fight all the way into the city from the horse road, to seize the gate of the urn city from the inside.

The local Han army in Shanxi was directly killed by Wang De and collapsed, and the old Liao Han army was also defeated and retreated.

Only a few dozen people, after entering the city, they killed hundreds of defenders.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guard general Wan Yan Saba personally led hundreds of Jurchen soldiers over to try to stop and annihilate Wang De.

"Brother Wang, I'm here to help you!"

Just when Wang De was under siege, Wu Jue finally led his troops to follow.

On the other hand, due to Wang De's entry into the city, Wanyan Saba left with the Jurchen soldiers, and the will of the Bohai soldiers who were responsible for defending the city wavered. The brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin both landed in the city, attracting more reserves to defend the city, and Xu Ning under Zhang Guangdao also took the opportunity to capture the city wall.

The walls on both sides of the urn city were broken through.

Wang De was the most fierce when he landed in the city, and after gaining a firm foothold, it was Xu Ning who made the fastest progress.

The veterans of Jinzhou, who followed Zhu Ming's uprising, followed Xu Ning to form an automatic formation at the head of the city, and cooperated with each other to rapidly expand the situation. The members of the various squads cooperated with each other very tacitly, and the Bohai soldiers were powerless to parry, and they were rushed, divided, surrounded, and slaughtered one by one.

Zhang Guangdao nodded and smiled, although the troops he brought out were relatively slow to ascend the city, but they were the most powerful in forming a formation to kill the enemy.

Yao Pingzhong also discovered this situation through a telescope.

He had a strong competitive spirit, and he did not want to be compared with others, so he decided to train his troops well in the future. The subordinate generals, especially Wu Jue, were quite disciplined in training, and Yao Pingzhong decided to hand over the troops to Wu Jue for training.

"There are also Ming troops on the west side, and the local Han soldiers have all fled!"

"Let the Bohai soldiers resist!"

Wan Yan Saba ordered in horror that this offensive and defensive battle was completely unexpected by him, and he was caught off guard by 120 wooden cannons.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Ming army to ascend the city. At least it has to be repeatedly assaulted, so that the defenders are exhausted, and it would be good to have someone to climb first in half a month, and it may not be able to stand up to the board.

There is also the dark-skinned enemy general (Wang De) in front of him, who is simply not a human being, and is still advancing against the Jurchen elite!

Wang De is like a killing machine, and the Jurchen elites who are not afraid of death are all killed in fear head-on. On the street behind the side of the urn city, the Jurchen soldiers who were waiting for the battle were forcibly broken in by Wang De's troops, and if they continued like this, they would almost be killed.

On the other side, Xu Ning and Jinzhou veterans have completely different painting styles.

They never fight alone, and whatever they do is a squad operation. If there are different squads that have been disabled, they will be temporarily grouped together and advance quickly and methodically.

Moreover, the formation change is extremely fast, and the formation can be used in a very narrow area.

The same is true for their follow-up allies, where orders are passed between teams extremely quickly. In the chaotic battlefield, each squad is carrying out its own tasks, some attack the occupied point to help other troops land in the city, some rush into the city from the horse road to intercept and defeat the enemy, and some go to open the city gate to occupy the urn city.

After entering the urn city, in this closed and narrow area, the veterans under Xu Ning's command were even more like wolves and tigers, killing the old Liao and Han soldiers who were not afraid of death and surrendered in groups.

Seeing more and more routs fleeing from behind him, Wan Yan Saba knew that the general trend was gone, and fled on horseback with more than 20 personal soldiers. If he doesn't run, he will be caught between two sides.

Along the main road of the central axis of the military city of Pingding, Wanyan Saba ran wildly all the way, ordering the defenders in the north of the city to open the city gate.

As soon as these guys rushed through the moat, Yang Yun, a young Qiang general, led the cavalry to kill, and Geng Zhongnian also led the cavalry to intercept in front.

Chen Ziyi, the commander of the cavalry, did not move at all, only holding a telescope to observe the situation.

More than 2,000 Ming cavalry, surrounded and intercepted more than 20 Jurchen cavalry......

As he grew older, Yang Yun became more burly, and the southwest pony under his crotch was replaced by a majestic Ganqing horse. People wear strong armor, horses wear horse armor, and they have been transformed from light cavalry to cavalry.

More than 2,000 Ming cavalry shot arrows at more than 20 Jurchen cavalry.

Arrows rained down, and the Jurchen cavalry in armor was fine, but most of the war horses under their crotches were hit by arrows. The rudimentary horse armor blocked the key parts, and the war horse was not fatally injured, but it was severely frightened under the pain, and the cavalry was also distracted to control and pacify.

At this time, the Ming cavalry rushed forward in a swarm.

Yang Yun rushed with a gun first, and Wan Yan Saba was so shocked that he turned to flee, and was intercepted and killed by Geng Zhongnian's troops. When the war horses were staggered, Wanyan Saba was caught between the left and right, and narrowly avoided a spear, but was poked by another spear.

Fortunately, the tip of the gun slipped against the armor, and Wanyan Saba could still sit on horseback.

When the panic was undecided, Geng Zhongnian had already rushed to the ground, raised his gun and swept away Wan Yan Saba directly from the horse.

"Catch it alive!"

Geng Zhongnian was ecstatic for his meritorious service, and when he turned around, he saw that Yan Saba was trampled to death by the war horse that rushed later.

Yang Yun rode over, glanced at the corpse on the ground, pouted and hit the horse back to the moat. There are more routs here, scrambling to flee from the city.

Post-war meritorious.

Wang De led the army to be the first.

Xu Ning's troops captured the urn city and opened the city gate for the second.

Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin brothers helped Xu Ning open up the situation as the third.

The matter of judging merit by head, the new dynasty of the Ming Dynasty has never done it. They are all based on the troops, see what kind of results have been achieved, and then carry out collective awards.

Wang De is an exception, and his personal record is too bright.

To put it bluntly, it is divided into collective merit and individual merit, and most of the time it is counted as collective merit.

Zhang Guangdao personally went to comfort Wang De, and the military doctor said: "General Wang was injured in nine places, but they were all flesh wounds, and the knife and gun did not penetrate deeply, so there was no major problem. ”

"That's good!"

Zhang Guangdao was even more happy, slapped Wang De's arm and said, "What a good man, I will personally report your merits." ”

Although Wang De is unruly, but the boss personally visits, but also personally report the merits, how can he not be interested, Xi Zizi said: "In the future, which city to attack, just send me out of the horse, and ensure that the city wall is taken down." ”

"Well, the siege won't forget you!"

Zhang Guangdao asked Yao Pingzhong again: "What is the position of Wang Zhuangshi?" ”

Yao Pingzhong said: "Last year, I made meritorious service and became a hundred generals. This time he made meritorious contributions, but I planned to let him command 500 people. ”

Zhang Guangdao nodded and said: "It is more than enough to command five hundred soldiers, and you can select brave men and set up a first battalion for him." I will allocate the armor of these 500 warriors to the most sophisticated, and it will depend on them to recover Shanxi in the future. ”

Wang De was even more happy, and finally knew how to thank him: "Thank you Zhang Dashuai and General Yao for your support!" ”

After a few more words of encouragement, Zhang Guangdao went to visit other meritorious service members and the wounded.

When Zhang Guangdao walked away, Yao Pingzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Zhang Guangdao would take away his fierce general.

The next day, Zhang Guangdao divided 6,000 troops and asked Zhai Xing to take them back to help Guo Yaoshi.

The rest of the soldiers and horses, one is stationed in the ruins of Zhao Jianzi City, and the other is stationed in the Pingding Military City, and the two cities can gallop to each other's aid.

There are several places in Zhao Jianzi City in the country, but here is in the west of Yangquan City, and there is a river valley connecting Shouyang, where Guo Yaoshi is stationed.

Six thousand elites went back to reinforce Shouyang, and Zhang Guangdao no longer worried about that side.

He didn't know that Yan Zonghan had divided his troops to kill him from the north, and he didn't bother to take care of Yan Zonghan. The next plan, Zhang Guangdao planned to hold the military city of Pingding, and then divide his troops to attack Chengtianzhai, all the way through Jingcheng to threaten the pseudo-Song capital Zhendingfu.

The terrain of Shanxi can be divided into troops to defend the city, and the surplus troops can participate in the Hebei War.

Even, Guo Yaoshi's Shouyang can be accepted if it is lost, and it has no impact on the overall situation, anyway, Zhang Guangdao has another grain road in the south.

Yao Pingzhong's troops, after resting for two days, went to attack Chengtianzhai, and Wang De's Xiandeng battalion was the main attacking force.

Due to the terrain of the place, it is useless to go more.

Zhang Guangdao's main force stayed on the side of the Pingding Army, and at the same time sent cavalry north to Yuxian to investigate-Yuxian County did not have many defenders, or it could be taken in one fell swoop, and then the main force could directly take Yan Zonghan's back road.

On the second day after the cavalry was scattered, they ran into Yan Lou's army, which was rapidly killing from the southern border of Yuxian.

I don't know how many enemies are coming, Zhang Guangdao was vigilant, and hurriedly sent someone to recall Yao Pingzhong's department, who was halfway there. He asked Yao Pingzhong to garrison the Pingding Army, and his main force was stationed in Zhao Jianzi City, intending to find out the situation of the enemy army before making a move.

Wanyan Lou came in a hurry, and called the defenders of Yu County, and requisitioned all the grain and grass in Yu County.

"There are only more than 10,000 people, and they have been killed?"

"We have crossed the bottom of the river. The Jin soldiers were mostly cavalry, but there were fewer foot soldiers. It is estimated that the foot soldiers are all defenders of Yuxian County, and the people are not enough to help transport grain. ”

Zhang Guangdao was a little incredulous, his main force was here, how could Wanyan Zonghan dare to divide 10,000 troops over?

He divided 6,000 troops to go back to save Guo Yaoshi, because there were river valleys along the way, near the entrance of the river valley in Shouyang, and the walled fort set up by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army took advantage of the terrain, and of course was not afraid of Yan Zonghan's main force.

However, whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Lou, they have no worries about this trip.

In their concept, 10,000 elite cavalry is enough to sweep the world, and as long as the Ming army does not nest in the city, they will definitely be able to win the battle. Tens of thousands of cavalry, they don't know how to lose!
