Chapter 12 Forgetfulness II
Ji Ruochen's military flag changed, and the low and majestic war drums sounded one after another.
A phalanx of 1,000 people stood out from the army, and these sergeants were all foot soldiers, some wielding short spears, some holding swords and shields, staggered in columns. The phalanx moved forward, and the target was directed at the north gate of Jinju in front, and the steps of thousands of soldiers were in unison, as if they were one person, and when they were advancing, the ground trembled!
The civil officials and military generals of Jinju at the head of the city were all stunned, not by the military appearance of the northern army, but by the surprise that this thousand-person phalanx had neither a ladder nor a wooden tree, and came straight to the city gate, this was to attack the city?
The thousand foot soldiers came very fast, and in a few moments of thought, they entered the land of an arrow, only to hear a low military horn of "hey" coming out of the mouth of a thousand people, the ground shook the mountains, the dust was stirring, and everyone ran with all their strength.
It was still General Qi Pian who was the first to react and shouted "release the arrows"; if the infantry without any heavy weapons rushed across the moat, wouldn't it become a joke? The generals woke up like from a dream, and the orders on the city head came and went. Arrows are like flying locusts, and they shoot down. The slingers lined up behind the archers, and the rest of the generals unsheathed their swords.
The thousand foot soldiers were really faster than the galloping horses, and they were unusually fast. Most of the arrows flying down from the city only reached the second half of the formation, and just like that, most of them were blocked by these demonic soldiers waving their shields. After a round of arrow rain, only three or five people fell!
In the blink of an eye, a thousand foot soldiers had rushed to the front of the moat, facing the moat more than two zhang wide, the formation changed, the phalanx was divided into two, and the soldiers with swords and shields threw off their shields and jumped up one after another, stretching their limbs in the air, as if they had given wings, and most of the soldiers actually jumped over the moat directly! A few who fell into the water also approached the bank of the moat, and jumped ashore with a little effort.
The soldiers with two guns jumped high in the same place, and when they rose to the top of the city, they threw the short spears in their hands at the top of the three-zhang high city!
On the top of the city, both the generals and the Taishou of Jinju were dumbfounded, watching the soldiers of the northern army leap over the moat one by one, holding knives in their mouths, and they didn't even use a ladder, but directly climbed up to the city head with their hands and feet! When a few bold Jinju veterans shouted, leaning out half of their bodies and trying to throw stones or stab the enemy soldiers who were climbing the city with knives and guns, they were pierced by the throwing spears that flew like lightning, and they were nailed to the wall one by one!
With a bang, a throwing gun almost brushed against Bai Taishou's sideburns, and then with a ding, it was deeply inserted into the city tower, deep into the foot.
A wisp of blood slowly seeped out from the skin of the confessed Taishou.
At this time, a colorful cloud rose from Ji Ruochen's army and floated towards Jinju City. As soon as that colorful cloud appeared, it came in an instant, and it had drifted to the city of Jinju. Bai Taishou only saw clearly at this time that Caiyun Yuan was a young girl, and her charming appearance and posture were on this bloody battlefield, which actually made Bai Taishou's throat dry for a while. But then, Bai Taishou's heart tightened.
I saw the girl waving her slender hands like wheels, grabbing soldiers one by one and throwing them at the city. She looked weak, but lifting these more than 100 catties of soldiers was as easy as picking up small stones, and with a casual throw, she threw them onto the head of Sanzhang City. As soon as these bloodthirsty soldiers came to the city, they immediately slashed and slashed and killed, silently and fiercely. They are infinitely powerful, one knife chop, often the opposite Jinju defenders even weapons and people are split into two sections, and the body is incomparable, Jinju soldiers with all their strength, just like cutting on cooked cowhide, can also cut into a few deep. It took several Jinju soldiers to work together, slash and stab with knives, and wound more than a dozen key points in a row before they could put down a northern soldier.
Dozens of northern troops on the head of the city cleared a vacant lot in a blink of an eye, and the other demon soldiers who were climbing the city immediately crawled to this direction and continued to climb the city wall. And when the girl saw that she had already controlled a section of the city wall, she jumped up and rushed directly to the tower where the guards were heaviest!
There were two hundred defenders of the tower, and they opened their bows and arrows and shot at the girl. But how fast was that girl? As soon as the defenders of the city were out of the string, she had already set foot on the head of Jinju City!
At the moment of life and death, Bai Taishou did not hesitate, threw away his official hat, knelt on the ground and raised his hand, shouting that he was willing to surrender!
As soon as he screamed, he felt a gust of incense coming from his side, and the girl had circled around him. In an instant, Bai Taishou felt like lying in the snake and scorpion bushes, frightened, and almost fainted.
As soon as Bai Taishou surrendered, his entourage naturally couldn't lag behind, and even the partial generals who were originally generous in begging for war threw their sabers and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. The Jinju defenders, who were not clever enough, were still resisting, but they were cut down one by one by the northern army like melons and vegetables. And wherever the girl passed, a wave of blood would immediately surge!
In the military array outside the city, the incense sticks burning in front of the ink-colored soft sedan car had only been burned halfway.
The soft sedan curtain did not open, and only Ji Ruochen's flat voice came out: "It's okay." ”
The soldiers beside the sedan car immediately raised the horn blessed by the Taoist law, and blew out a long three tones.
The long, desolate sound of the horn spread throughout the battlefield in an instant, and when the last horn sounded, all the northern troops at the head of the city took a step back and stopped killing.
The ink gold silk on the tip of the jade boy's finger had been wrapped seven or eight times around the two Jinzhou defenders, and with a little force, they could be told to divide the corpses, and when she heard the sound of the horn, she seemed to be unwilling, and seemed to be reluctant to glance at the two Jinzhou soldiers who had lost their souls, and then smiled at them, and accepted the ink gold silk. It's a pity that although the two Jinzhou soldiers were standing, they were so frightened that they fainted to death, and they couldn't absorb her flattering eyes.
The Jinju Castle Suspension Bridge was lowered, and the north gate was wide open, welcoming the 8,000 god-like northern troops into the city, and then the four gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
At noon, in the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, Ji Ruochen stood behind the leniency case, staring at the map placed on the case. In the hall, Ji Tianxia, Yu Tong and the generals of the Northern Army stood on both sides behind him, and Bai Taishou and Qi Bi stood at the bottom of the steps.
Ji Ruochen's gaze followed Jinzhou all the way to the west, and finally stopped in front of Tongguan, his face began to look solemn. His fingers tapped on the two seal books in Tongguan, retracted again, and finally kept tapping lightly on a place about a hundred miles away from Tongguan.
Tongguan Pass is high and dangerous, since ancient times, it has choked the main road to Xijing, it can be said that it is a husband, and it is impossible to open it. Under the word Tongguan, there are several lines of small characters, indicating the number of troops guarding the pass at this moment: 50,000. There is no need to think about it, these 50,000 defenders must be very different from the Jinzhou defenders, compared with the two, coupled with the terrain and city defense, it is impossible for the Tongguan defenders to be one for a hundred, and it is still very possible for one to be ten. After Tongguan, there are several important military towns around Xijing, with garrisons ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, and the elite 50,000 imperial forest troops in Xijing can also go to Tongguan at any time.
Under the number of defenders, there are three small characters of Ge Shuhan, indicating that the guards of Tongguan at this time have been replaced by the original ordinary generals to the envoys of Hexi Jiedu, the king of Xiping County, the left servant of Shangshu, Tongzhongshu, and Ge Shuhan, the political affairs of Pingzhang under the door!
This brother Shuhan and An Lushan are both generals, decades of crusade in the east and west, bloody battles are not counted, since the Hu people have accumulated merit and risen to the current high position below one person and above ten thousand people, since they are not idle people. Ji Ruochen has a decisive temperament, but he is not arrogant, and of course he will not ignore Ge Shuhan and others. The generals of this dynasty have never been on good terms with Yang Guozhong, if he was just a brave man, I am afraid that he would have lost his position in the temple battle a long time ago, how could he still get such a long list of titles?
Ji Ruochen groaned, and suddenly said, "Lord Bai." ”
Bai Yi was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "The lower official is here!"
"You immediately repair a letter and report to Tongguan. I don't care how you write it, but be sure to ask for reinforcements from Tongguan. When the payment is made, just write tomorrow. ”
Bai Yi's face changed, but he still had to say yes, and Ji Tianxia on the side nodded slightly. Bai Yi was dripping in cold sweat, he was a smart person, he knew the weight of Ji Ruochen's last sentence, and was thinking hard about delaying words, but Ji Ruochen helped him save trouble, and had already ordered the left and right to send pen and ink, Bai Yi couldn't, so he had to repair the book on the spot, and write a letter for help with careful consideration. The book was completed, Ji Tianxia took it and read it, and was quite satisfied, sealed it with a fire paint seal, and sent a clever cronie to report to Tongguan on a fast horse.
After writing this book, Bai Yideng was in a state of low spirits. There are more than 100,000 people in Jinzhou City, and everyone knows that Ji Ruochen's army is breaking the city today. His letter of request for help was signed tomorrow, and the fact that this letter remained in the court is ironclad evidence that he committed the crime of treason against the enemy. Now he can only look forward to the success of An Lushan's change of dynasty to have the hope of preserving the nine clans. However, just looking at the ghostly combat power of the army led by Ji Ruochen, you can know that the weak army in the DPRK is not an opponent at all. Thinking of this, Bai Yi suddenly felt a little more hopeful.
"Master Ji......" Bai Yi exclaimed tremblingly.
"What's the matter?" Ji Ruochen's eyes still fell on Tongguan, and he didn't move.
"If Master Ji wants to succeed, he must prevent one person and use one person. Bai Yilang said. He was a man of understanding, and knowing that the retreat had been blocked, he began to devise plans for the rebels.
"Say it. ”
"The person who needs to be guarded against is Guo Ziyi, the Taishou of Jiuyuan. The minister tastes the old with Guo Ziyi, this person is well versed in the art of war, and his command is full of soldiers in a hundred battles, brave and good generals, although the official is light at the moment, but it must be guarded against. Guo Ziyi is the most loyal to the court, and it is impossible for adults to use it, so it is best to try to get rid of it as soon as possible. The available person is Uncle Shiyuan, who is now too protective of Yan Zhenqing. Today, everyone in the world knows that Uncle Yan Shishu is calligraphy, but few people know that Uncle Shi is also talented in governing the country. The garrison of the plain is relaxed, the adult army is fast, and the combat power is unparalleled, if a thousand elite stars rush to the plain in the night, then Yan Zhenqing can be captured. If Master Ji can get the help of Uncle Yan Zhenqing, he will be like a tiger with wings. With the prestige of Uncle Shi, if you can climb to the top and shout, six or seven out of ten states and counties will open their doors and dedicate their cities. It's just that Uncle Shi has a strong temperament, is not easy to convince, and must be patient. ”
Ji Ruochen said lightly: "Since Yan Zhenqing has a strong temperament, most of them are unwilling to surrender, what should I do?"
Bai Yi gritted his teeth and said, "The legacy of raising tigers should be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Ji Ruochen finally raised his head, glanced at Bai Yi, looked at the world again, and said with a smile: "I finally understand today that traitors are also very useful. ”
Ji Tianxia's face is thicker than the city wall, and his face is as usual. Bai Yi knelt down without changing his face, and praised Lord Xie.
Ji Ruochen immediately called over a general of the Northern Army and instructed him to lead a thousand elites and rush to the plains at the same time, and if he caught Yan Zhenqing, he could withdraw from the army, and he was not allowed to fight.
The hall was silent again, and you could faintly hear the voices of people outside the Taishou Mansion. It was the northern sergeant who was driving all the able-bodied men out of his home and driving them to the school yard in the south of the city, waiting to be selected to be added to the army. If it is just a soldier in Tongguan and a restraining of the defenders in the direction of Tongguan and Xijing, with the 8,000 tempered soldiers in Ji Ruochen's hands, he can barely do it. However, his original intention to help An Lushan raise troops was not only here, but also to set a strategy of fighting to support the war with Jitian early on. These 8,000 pioneers are just pioneers, and every time they seize a place, they will plunder local strong men to join the army to strengthen their military strength. With the help of the disciples of the Daode Sect, five thousand strong men can become an army in just one month.
At that time, the people of the world were recuperating and recuperating, and the population was growing, and the number of households was several times higher than in the early years of this dynasty.
It took more than ten days for Ji Ruochen's base camp to arrive in Jinju, but in addition to the lax armament, Jinzhou City had a lot of people and enough food, and the accumulated grain and grass were enough for 30,000 troops to eat for a year. It's just that there is a lack of armament, and even if the whole city is mobilized, it will only find more than 3,000 swords and guns.
Ji Tianxia decided to recruit another 15,000 strong men in Jinju and train them into an army, and at the same time recruit all the blacksmiths within a radius of 100 miles to make ordnance day and night. Ji Ruochen led the initial 5,000 elites to Tongguan alone, striving to annihilate all the enemy troops who dared to leave Tongguan. The danger of Tongguan is beyond the danger of the world, and no matter how good the soldiers under Ji Ruochen are, they are not willing to attack Tongguan. It's best to be able to lure the enemy out of the pass.
As soon as he gets out of Jinzhou, Jitianxia will be temporarily separated from Ji Ruochen, and west of Jinzhou, all wars need to be decided by Ji Ruochen himself. Thinking about it, as the commander of the three armies, how can he not stand alone? Ji Ruochen just wants to be the commander of the hand-throwing, and it seems that Ji Tianxia is also determined not to let him get his wish.
Ji Ruochen was in front of the map, standing for half a day, not saying anything. If he does not move, all the people in the hall will have to accompany him. Yu Tong and Ji Tianxia and other generals of the Northern Army are not bad, Bai Yi and Qi Bi are so broken that their bones are about to be crispy, Fang saw Ji Ruochen waved his hand and said, "Let's go down." ”
Bai Qi and the others stumbled down to rest.
Three days later, Ji Ruochen personally led 5,000 elites, also only carrying three days of dry food, out of Jinzhou, all the way west.
