The fighting in Zhuozhou County continues.

It's just that as Wanyan Zongwang led the army to withdraw first, the 5,000 victorious army led by Guo Yaoshi could not be stopped, and they were defeated and retreated.

Guo Yaoshi originally wanted to use the dense streets and houses of the inner city to fight street battles, but the Qingzhou army was not afraid at all.

Who have they been afraid of?

Moreover, there is the advantage of firearms.

The Qingzhou army did not enter the house to fight at all, and a few shield soldiers were in front.

After kicking the door open, a few firearms were thrown in.

After the explosion of the firearm sounded, rush in to mend the knife.

When encountering fierce resistance, they directly set up field artillery and bombed indiscriminately.

In the county office, a guard with a panicked look on his face reported: "Shaobao, the thieves in Qingzhou have fierce firearms, and the sons and daughters can't stand it, and there are heavy casualties." ”

After Guo Yaoshi descended to the Song Dynasty, although the plan for a surprise attack on Yanjing failed, Song Huizong still favored him, sealed the inspection school, and knew Yanshan Mansion.

Although the gold has been lowered now, the Chang Shengjun under his command is still used to calling him Shaobao.

Another guard said indignantly: "After the Jin people let us break off, it is clear that they want us to die." Since he voted for the Jinren, he has been suppressed and excluded everywhere, and those Jurchen overseers have killed the sons and daughters of the Changsheng army at every turn, treating them as pigs and dogs. Shaobao, why don't you lower the Qingzhou army? ”

These words immediately attracted the echo of the guards.

"Yes, Shaobao, Han Zhen is also a generation of heroes, relying on the power of firearms, he will definitely be able to sweep the world, and voting for him is not an insult to Shaobao."

These victorious forces are not willing to die.

Before the Jin people went south, Guo Yaoshi relied on the favor of Song Huizong, pampered and arrogant, flying and domineering, and even the prefect of Yanshan was respectful to him.

Every time Guo Yaoshi asked the Zhao and Song court for money, food, weapons, armor, staff, and horses, the court tried to supply them as much as possible.

After accumulating a large amount of food and ordnance, Pharmacist Guo immediately sent his cronies south to start a food and ordnance business, secretly making a lot of money, and the Chang Shengjun under his command also ate a mouthful of oil.

Speaking of which, many of the divine arm crossbows and foot armor in the Qingzhou army were bought from Guo Yaoshi.

Looking around at the guards, seeing that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, Pharmacist Guo hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then it's down." ”

Hearing this, the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was originally a slave with three surnames, first Liao, Song, and Jin all descended once, and at this moment, Han Zhen was lowered, and there was no burden in his heart.

There are too many lice and they are not afraid of biting, and even because they have too much experience in surrendering, they have also summarized a set of formal processes.

I saw that Pharmacist Guo instructed: "You wait to gather your subordinates, let them put down their blades, and the rest of the people will surrender with me." ”

As he spoke, Pharmacist Guo began to remove his armor.

He took off his upper clothes, exposed his tendons and flesh, and ordered his guards to find a sheep.

In this way, Guo Yaoshi was naked, holding a sheep in one hand, and led hundreds of guards under his command out of the inner city.

This is an ancient rite, saying: abandon the armor and drag the soldiers, and lead the sheep with meat.

He expressed his determination to surrender and was willing to accept all conditions and punishments from the enemy.

Seeing this scene, the Qingzhou army stopped one after another.

Yue Fei looked even more weird, he had been familiar with the ancient books of the art of war since he was a child, so he naturally knew the meaning of the other party's actions.

You must know that this kind of ancient rites had disappeared in the Central Plains before the Sui and Tang dynasties, and I never thought that Guo Yaoshi, a Bohai barbarian, would still know the ancient rites.

Han Zhen rode on the war horse, his face was sad and joyless.

Han Shizhong, who was behind him, reminded in a low voice: "Pharmacist Guo is a slave with three surnames, so you can't trust it. After the Song Dynasty, relying on the favor of Emperor Zhao and Song, he was arrogant and domineering in the land of Yanyun, and the 50,000 victorious troops under his command did not change their left side, and they were in the fish and meat township. In the Western Army, it is said that this person is the second in An Lushan. ”

Zuo Wei is the way to wear Liao people's clothing.

And Hanfu is the right side.

This shows that although Guo Yaoshi descended to the Song Dynasty, he was not sincere in his heart, but ambitious.

Han Zhen asked rhetorically: "Where do you guess the divine arm crossbow in the Qingzhou army came from?" ”

Han Shizhong immediately understood, and since the county magistrate knew it, he was relieved.

What Pharmacist Guo is like, Han Zhen, who has the memory of later generations, knows very well.

If it is taken over, within a year and a half, Jin Guo and Zhao Song will be able to have a large number of firearms and artillery.

Out of the inner city, Pharmacist Guo bowed down and said loudly: "Pharmacist Guo, the general, I have seen County Magistrate Han!" ”

Han Zhen smiled and said, "Why did I say that I want to accept your surrender?" ”

Well?

Pharmacist Guo raised his head suddenly, and his face changed greatly.

The victorious army behind him also looked horrified.

Guo Yaoshi never thought that Han Zhen would refuse his surrender, he claimed to be a fierce general, and the Changsheng army under his command was also a fierce soldier.

Previously, when the main force of the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang was fought in Baihe, if it were not for the Song army led by Zhang Linghui to escape, the outcome was still unknown.

Even if the Jin Army can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory.

"None of them will be left!"

Han Zhen waved his hand, and his flat tone revealed a chill.

"Han Thief dares!"

Pharmacist Guo glared angrily.

The next moment, a rain of arrows struck.

"Ahhh!!h

Terrible screams echoed over the county.

Guo Yaoshi and hundreds of guards were immediately shot into a sieve.

Lying on his back on the ground, feeling the rapid passage of vitality in his body, Pharmacist Guo's eyes were full of incredulity.

He couldn't understand why Han Zhen would refuse his surrender until he died......

……

The siege lasted until dawn.

The 5,000 victorious army was annihilated.

Since the county magistrate said that one will not be kept, then one will not be kept.

"County magistrate, the Jin army in the city has been completely wiped out."

Hearing Lao Jiu's report, Han Zhen ordered: "The whole army listens to the order and rests in the city for two days." ”

Yue Fei frowned and said, "County magistrate, Liu Dutong only has 3,000 cavalry, can you send someone to help?" ”

Han Zhen waved his hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Liu Qi is measured." ”

After following him for so long, the two became more and more tacit.

Many times, with just one look, Liu Qi can comprehend his combat intentions.

Knowing that there were ambushes in Fangshan, Liu Qi would definitely not be reckless.

Don't look at this guy's usual grinning and unobtrusive appearance, when he goes to the battlefield, it's like a different person.

……

……

"Whew~"

After a night of running and stopping, the war horse under him has reached its limit, and every breath comes from the nostrils with a dull sound.

Even the war horses are like this, let alone the foot soldiers.

Although all the baggage was discarded, the weight of the armor and weapons was not light.

At this moment, one by one Jin Jun was so tired that his hands and feet were sore, and he was weak.

Even if you are tired, there are thousands of cavalry behind the key buttocks.

Whenever Yan Zongwang ordered a rest, the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army increased their speed and put on a charging posture.

At the same time, he shouted: "Han Zhen is here, the golden dog will take his life!" ”

After several battles, when the Jin army heard Han Zhen's name from top to bottom, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to face the battle at all.

After forcing the Jin army to rush again, Liu Qi slowed down again and hung unhurriedly behind.

Moreover, this guy was a chicken thief, and ordered the cavalry to cut down branches and tie them to the tail of the horses.

When it rushed, the smoke billowed and the sound was terrifying.

Obviously, there are only 3,000 cavalry, but it has created a kind of prestige of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Wanyan Zongwang knew in his heart that this was a trick of the Qingzhou thieves, and there were thousands of Jurchen cavalry in his hands, but he didn't dare to gamble.

Once it was really the Han thieves who chased after them personally, these thousands of Jurchen cavalry were defeated, and the remaining 20,000 foot soldiers were completely turned into fish on the chopping board, and they were slaughtered by the Qingzhou thieves.

Glancing at the cavalry who were following from afar, Wan Yan Yanmu said with a pale face: "Du Shuai, the Qingzhou thieves are chasing us as prey." ”

He was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately it didn't hurt his bones.

"I know."

Wanyan Zongwang had a gloomy face, and said coldly: "I have sent spies to Yanjing last night, so that Shulie can rush to the aid of his troops and ambush in Fangshan. ”

He also left 8,000 people in Yanjing City.

These 8,000 people are all the elite under his command, and they are personally led by the fierce general Shu Liesu.

Wanyan Yan's mother smiled and said: "Okay, when you stay in Fangshan, you must make these Qingzhou thieves look good!" ”

……

……

Fangshan is stuck between Zhuozhou and Yanjing, which is the only way.

The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, mountainous in the northwest, and alluvial plains, depressions and floodplains in the southeast.

Such a terrain is not conducive to the performance of cavalry.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Zongwang and Han Zhen successively chose the ambush location here.

In the dense forest on the west side of the official road, 10,000 troops lurked quietly.

Huang Kai held a weed in his mouth and said boredly: "We have been squatting for ten days, and we haven't even seen a ghost." ”

Nie Dong glanced at him with contempt: "What nonsense, the county magistrate's order, dare to disobey the order?" ”

Huang Kai explained: "How dare I disobey orders, it's just that the dry food carried by the soldiers has been eaten, and now they are still hungry." If you wait any longer, the soldiers will starve first, how will they kill the enemy? ”

They were lightly armed in this ambush, and naturally it was impossible to carry much grain and grass.

Even if you save the dry food, you will have already eaten it at noon yesterday.

Instead, Nie Dong ordered the soldiers to hunt in the mountains.

But Fangshan is so big, how can the animals in the mountain fill the belly of an army of 10,000 people?

"Since the county magistrate has arranged for us to wait for an ambush, he naturally has a careful plan."

Right now, Nie Dong has no choice but to believe in the county magistrate.

Suddenly, Huang Kai was stunned, and then stood up suddenly, and said, "I seem to have heard the sound of horses' hooves." ”

Hearing this, Nie Dong immediately listened attentively, and said with a solemn face: "It is indeed the sound of horses' hooves." ”

The sound of horses' hooves came to an abrupt end from far to near.

Not long after, a soldier from the scout battalion ran quickly into the col and reported: "Yu Du Shuai, only five Jin army scouts have galloped over, and they have all been intercepted and killed. ”

Nie Dong immediately realized what was going on, and immediately ordered: "The whole army listens to the order and prepares for battle!" ”

Whoa!

For a while, the Qingzhou Army, who was lying or sitting, stood up one after another, their eyes shining.

Since they went north, they have not made an inch.

When they thought that the other brothers had earned military exploits, they felt extremely uncomfortable.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

……

Time passed little by little.

Before you know it, the sun is setting.

"Report!"

"A large number of Jin troops came straight to Fangshan along the official road, about more than 20,000."

More than 20,000?

Nie Dong frowned slightly and asked, "How is the military discipline?" ”

The scout replied: "The military discipline is sloppy, the men are tired, and there seems to be cavalry chasing after them!" ”

Huang Kai's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic.

This is simply a godsend!
