Chapter 81: The Great Defeat of the Golden People
Under such a reward, Wanyan Zonghan's army rushed towards the city like chicken blood, and Yue Fei and Han Shizhong saw the enemy surging like a tide, and a wave of despair surged into their hearts!
Lanzhou, I'm afraid I can't keep it!
However, just when the defenders couldn't hold on, there was a movement in the distance! Han Shizhong and Yue Fei fixed their eyes, and five miles away, a group of people rushed towards this side.
Could it be...... Reinforcements from His Royal Highness the County Lord have arrived?
Han Shizhong asked with some excitement, "But His Royal Highness the County Lord?" ”
Yue Fei shook his head, "The other party's clothes are obviously enemies!" ”
Han Shizhong's heart sank again, "Bitter! Could it be that the city of Lanzhou is going to die at my hands? ”
Yue Fei was also desperate, but when he saw the green smoke rising behind the group of people, a wave of hope surged into his heart, "Wait a minute!" Maybe...... It's really His Royal Highness the county lord who has arrived! ”
It was true that they saw the enemy, but it was a defeated enemy! At this time, Zhao Yingluo organized follow-up armies to cross the river one after another, and the first batch of troops who had crossed the river frantically pursued the defeated enemy under the leadership of Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie.
The green smoke that Yue Fei saw was the hundred firecrackers assigned by Zhao Yingluo to Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie chasing the remnants of the enemy.
Wanyan Zonghan also sensed the abnormal movement in the north, and was shocked when he saw his own army retreating!
"Will ...... Checkmate! ”
A herald ran over and knelt in front of Wanyan Zonghan, "Song Jun...... The Song army has already attacked from the north, and our defenses along the Yellow River have been broken, and the tens of thousands of men and horses defending have lost nearly half, and now they are being routed on this side. ”
Wanyan Zonghan's face changed greatly, "What? How is this possible! No matter how strong the Song army was, it was impossible to defeat the defenders in such a short time. ”
The herald said with a frightened face, "Then Zhao Yingluo will definitely do the magic of the law, she ordered people to drop strange things on the boat that were extremely damaging, and as soon as it touched the ground, it would explode with a bang, and those who were close would be blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and those who were a little farther away would also be seriously injured!" Our...... Our archers could not organize an effective defense at all. ”
Wanyan Zonghan's face was extremely embarrassed! After all calculations, why did you still let the reinforcements come from Lanzhou City.
Liu Lin was even more frightened in his heart, the witchcraft that the herald said was very likely to be the strange thing that blew up the city gate last year, he said in a trembling voice, "General, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, let's withdraw first!" If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”
Wanyan Zonghan is very unwilling! Seeing that the city is about to be broken, once it retreats, it will be in vain!
At this time, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong finally determined that it was the county lord who came! Seeing hope, their spirits suddenly lifted! Han Shizhong raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers, the reinforcements are coming, the Jin people have been defeated, victory is just around the corner, kill the enemy!" Drive the enemy out of the city. ”
When the desperate defenders heard the good news, their morale suddenly reversed, and instead they stopped the enemy troops who had entered the city gates, and the enemies on the city walls were also killed without a successor.
When Wanyan Zonghan was hesitating to withdraw his troops, there were even more desperate movements on the left and right flanks! The cavalry of the Song people outflanked them in two ways and attacked them in a long snake formation! The most terrifying thing was on the right flank, where the cavalry mounted their horses and fired a volley at them with their guns in hand!
The sudden change caused the armies on the left and right flanks to be disorganized, and the defeated army from the north attacked their own rear flanks, and the rout was a foregone conclusion!
"Withdraw! Withdrawal! Break out from the east! Cross the river to the Daimyo's Mansion! ”
The situation changed drastically, and Yan Zonghan couldn't afford to think about it more, so he decisively gave the order to retreat, and if he didn't retreat, he was afraid that his 100,000 army would really be surrounded by the other party.
After Yan Zonghan ordered a retreat, tens of thousands of troops broke through the blockade of the cavalry in the east and ran all the way like lost dogs! The cavalry was fast and fled quickly, but poor Liu Lin's tens of thousands of infantry either ran away or were killed, and more were divided and surrounded, disarmed and surrendered.
Wanyan Zonghan led his thousands of cavalry, and ran to the Yellow River in a panic, just about to snatch civilian boats to cross the river, but saw more than a dozen big boats floating in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, followed by countless arrows breaking through the air! Hundreds of cavalry and horses were killed in an instant.
Zhao Yingluo stood at the bow of the boat, clasped his hands behind his back and shouted loudly, "Wanyan Zonghan, you have no way out!" Dismount and surrender! ”
Wanyan Zonghan saw Zhao Yingluo triumphantly on the bow of the ship, and his old face turned red with anger, he had been on the battlefield for many years, destroying the Liao State, trapping Tokyo, and beating the Song army all the way south, and he was terrified, and he had suffered such a defeat in time?
"Withdraw! Give up crossing the river! Give up crossing the river! As soon as Yan Zonghan threw his horsewhip, he was about to stay away from the Yellow River and continue to flee eastward, but at this moment, the pursuers arrived behind, and it was Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie.
They rode the war horse given by Zhao Yingluo, and chased after them with tens of thousands of cavalry, if they let Yan Zonghan run away this time, how would they have the face to meet His Royal Highness King Xin and the county lord?
When Zhao Bangjie was in the camp of Wuma Mountain, he was embarrassed to the extreme because of the siege of the Jin people! Now that the situation has reversed, he suddenly became arrogant and shouted, "Wanyan Zonghan, you have no way to retreat, quickly dismount and surrender!" ”
Being flanked by the enemy in front and back, Wanyan Zonghan's thousands of cavalry have fallen into a desperate situation! But Wanyan Zonghan is a fierce general after all, and it is impossible for him to surrender like this.
"I am a dignified golden man, how can I surrender to the Song people! If you want to fight, you will fight! ”
Zhao Bangjie snorted coldly, "You are tough!" It's up to you to see if your thousands of subordinates are tough or not! Prepare, Gunners! ”
At his command, the 1,000-gun team dismounted in an instant, lined up horizontally, and forced the besieged Wanyan Zonghan cavalry.
Wanyan Zonghan's heart sank, he knew the power of this strange weapon, if he didn't surrender, there was only one final outcome waiting for these thousands of cavalry, death!
Those cavalrymen also seemed to feel the breath of death, and their faces changed greatly! Despair, pathos, fear...... Different emotions flashed across their faces.
I thought that this time I went south, they would loot enough gold and silver treasures and women to return north, but I didn't expect the final outcome to be like this.
Nearly 10,000 horses led by Zhao Yingluo also disembarked one after another at this time, and she gently pinched the horse's belly and came to a position far away from the enemy.
"Wanyan Zonghan, if you surrender, maybe there will be a day when the north returns, these cavalrymen can still reunite with their wives and children, if you don't surrender, this place is the place where you bury your bones, surrender or not, I will give you a stick of incense time to consider."
"County Lord, when the Jin people captured Kaifeng City, they did all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting, and Yan Zonghan was the first evil, wouldn't it be too cheap for him to surrender?" Shen Lang said angrily.
He hated the Jin people, because after Kaifeng City was occupied by the Jin people, all the wealth he had accumulated was looted by the Jin people!
