Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 104: The Golden Army retreats

Views:

At this time, the Jin Army must have suffered huge losses in attacking fortifications, and Wu Shu was unwilling to siege bloody battles. Although Zhang Jun has a lot of troops in his hands, they are all troops with little combat effectiveness. So I didn't dare to fight with Jinbing under the city.

The combat effectiveness of your own soldiers is obviously not as good as that of the Jin soldiers. You must know that Wu Shu's leadership is all elite soldiers who have gone through various Song and Liao wars. Whether it is the temporary resilience of low-level generals or the battles of ordinary soldiers, it is far from being the most under his own. The generals of the Xiang army who suppressed the bandits are comparable to the soldiers. Therefore, Zhang Jun used procrastination tactics, he had enough food and grass, and he could afford to procrastinate. Wushu fought remotely, without a supply line, and Dacao Valley was frequently intercepted and the food was tense. In this way, Jin Bing faced the soldiers and horses of the King Qin army everywhere, and there was insufficient food and grass, and sooner or later would retreat.

For Zhang Jun's tactics of either sticking to or supporting each other, Wushu is also powerless. After all, the troops are still a little bit small. If you want to completely eliminate the 50,000 Song soldiers under the city, you must at least deploy a large amount of troops, otherwise at most they will be defeated. It will not take long for these guys to rebuild. Gather together.

We must know that the terrain here is full of rivers and waterways, which is really not suitable for cavalry combat, and our own advantages cannot be used at all. And there must be a lot of people killed and injured in a big battle, and the forces that were already stretched out would be even less. Therefore, it is necessary to complete a battle, to disperse all the Song army in the first battle, and then slam into the city.

At this time, Wu Shu ordered Du Chong, who had surrendered, to immediately lead the Han army to the south, and also asked the original boss, the current state minister, Yan Zonghan, to support some troops. However, Du Chong's army and the soldiers sent by Wanyan Zonghan were entangled by Han Shizhong, who had only hurriedly built an army of more than 30,000 men and horses, and was almost unable to move.

At this time, the news that Zhao Gouyuan was above the sea was also learned by Wu Shu, and Wu Shu felt anxious when he knew it. Immediately send soldiers to find a boat to go out to sea, to hunt down Zhao Gou.

Wu Shu knows that there are so many Han people, where can they be killed cleanly, and only catching Zhao Go is the way to put down southern Xinjiang once and for all! Now, after the autumn harvest, the army of the northern king of Xinwang is ready to move again. If the southern Xinjiang is settled as soon as possible, he can return to the division and attack the king of Xin Zhaozhen as soon as possible.

The Jin army quickly rushed to Dinghai, found and robbed the ship and immediately drove into the sea, and went down to search for Zhao Gou. The Jinren went into the sea to pursue it, but unfortunately the sea was vast, and Zhao Gou's fleet disappeared as soon as it entered the sea. It took two months for the Jin Jun to be unaccustomed to water battles, and encountered heavy storms, insisting on searching for Zhao Gou's Wushu, but failed to find Zhao Gou's fleet.

At this time, the 100,000 army of the Golden Army was almost out of food. Wu Shu had no choice but to retreat first, otherwise it would be bad if the Golden Army collapsed without fighting without any food.

Wu Shu, who had decided to retreat, immediately gathered all the men and horses and retreated to the north. Wu Shu wanted to leave. Zhang Jun immediately commanded the army to block the Jin Army and fought against the Jin Bing. The elite and powerful generals of the Jin Army wanted to leave, and the interception army composed of these Xiang troops could not withstand it at all. In just one day, several lines of defense organized by Zhang Jun collapsed.

After defeating the Song Army, Wu Shu immediately led his troops northward. Zhang Jun reorganized the army and followed closely. Wu Shu has been pursued by Zhang Jun's army, and the two sides fought several times, causing casualties to each other, all of which suffered a lot of losses.

The Jin army retreated all the way, burned, killed and looted all the way, and the corpses of the people of the Song Dynasty were everywhere, and it was terrible. The road northward was slow. The Jinjun Wushu decided to take the water route and ordered people to deploy defenses along the coast. He sent a large army to rob, rob, and collect ships. After collecting the ships needed by the army, Jin Jun quickly boarded the ship and set sail. The mighty upstream.

Hearing that Wushu returned by boat, Han Shizhong and his wife Liang, who were stationed in Zhenjiang from the Western Zhejiang system of Song Dynasty, and the eight thousand navy soldiers who had been cruising on the Yangtze River came to intercept! In March of the fourth year of Jianyan, when Yan Zongbi's (Wu Shu) fleet retreated north to Zhenjiang, Han Shizhong had already led a large number of warships to wait there.

Wu Shu first went to the Jinshan Dragon King Temple to inspect the terrain, and was almost captured by Han Shizhong's ambush. In the battle, Jin Bing's boat was small and he was not accustomed to water warfare, and he could not fight Han Shizhong.

Fighting on the water is not based on more people than fewer people, but the performance of the ship and the water of the fighters! The navy’s warships are all built-up ships, equipped with throwing firearms and many runners. Compared with the fishing team commanded by Wushu, they are more powerful.

With the flames flying, Wushu’s ships caught fire and exploded. The Jinjun suffered a great loss, and Wushu complained endlessly. In order to survive, Wu Shu was very shameless to write a letter to Han Shizhong. The letter said that he would give up all the property he got from the northward withdrawal, and only seek a way to survive! After being blocked for forty-eight days, Jin Jun fell into a desperate situation. At this time, countless people not only sent people to express to Han Shizhong that they would give up the looted property, but also presented their own famous horses.

In order to get a retreat, Wu Shu learned Zhao Gou's begging face. However, Han Shizhong ignored Wu Shu's method of learning Zhao Gou's pleading. Wu Shu's request was severely rejected by Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong directly blocked Wu Shuna's fishing boat team, which was known as one hundred thousand people, which had less than 80,000 people left in previous battles, and blocked Huang Tiandang, the dead port seventy miles outside Jiankang City. Nearly a hundred fishing boats on the water were hit and sunk, and Jin Bing suffered heavy casualties.

Han Shizhong's wife, Liang Hongyu, beat the drums to help out, Han Shizhong led his army to kill the enemy courageously, Wushu defeated.

After Jin Bing was besieged in Huang Tiandang for forty-eight days, Jin Bing finally found a spy nearby to help Jin Jun. The spy told Wan Yan Zongbi (Wu Shu) that as long as the old Stork River was excavated, the Qinhuai River could be opened. Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) ordered Jin Jun to dig overnight. After more than ten days of hard work, they dug through the old river and road. They dug through the fifty-mile old Stork River and escaped into the Qinhuai River. Only then did they escape. Into Jiankang City!

This is the famous battle of Huang Tiandang in history. In this battle, although the Song Army did not win a complete victory, Han Shizhong used a team of 8,000 to besieged the Golden Army, which is known as a 100,000 army, and reversed the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou regime's blind surrender and escape, and gave all the Southern Song soldiers and civilians a blow. Remember the cardiotonic.

Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu) fled from Huang Tiandang back to Jiankang, and looted and set fire to the city in Jiankang. Jin Bing gathered the looted property in Liuhe. From Guabukou to Liuhe, there are countless ships carrying looted items. Jinbing burned Jiankang Mansion and prepared to cross the river north from Jing'an Town.

When the Jin Bing burned the Jiankang Mansion, the original Jiankang sentenced money to need. After Jiankang's fall, he refused to lower the gold. They united with the rebels and village soldiers who resisted Jinan near Jing'an Town and insisted on resisting. At this time, Han Shizhong followed to kill and attacked the Golden Soldiers. To pass the sentence, the township soldiers should be led out from behind the enemy and cooperate closely. Under the attack of the two armies, the Golden Soldier was defeated. Jin Bing suffered heavy losses. The Song army seized more than 100 sets of golden soldier vests, bows, arrows, swords, and gold drums.

Because Wanyanchang (lazy) sent troops to respond, Wanyanchang's (lazy) Jin Army used a small boat to burn Han Shizhong from Zhenjiang to Jiankang River and intercepted Jinbing’s building and warship. North retreat. Jin Bing was defeated and Han Shizhong and Qian needed to station in Jiankang Mansion and regained Jiankang.

At this point, the battle that lasted for more than ten months is over. The two sides have invested a total of more than 500,000 troops. The dead are everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. The casualties of sergeants are nearly 100,000, and the casualties are countless. Most of them are It was slaughtered when the Golden Soldiers retreated.

At the end of the war, Emperor Zhao Zhen, who had heard the retreat of the Golden Army, returned quietly from Wenzhou Port, and did not declare the world until he hurried back to Yuezhou. At this time, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and other generals will make arrangements for the defense of the golden soldiers in Jiankang City, and immediately take people to the south of Yuezhou to meet the emperor.

Zhao Gou is in Yuezhou and feels that Yuezhou is a good place, and he plans to stay here for a long time. Shengyue Prefecture is Shaoxing Prefecture, serving as the temporary seat of the Southern Song Dynasty government. And make the meaning of changing the Yuan Shaoxing next year, taking the meaning of Shao Zuo Zhongxing.

After that, Zhao Gou was a great reward for the ministers and ordered Zhang Jun to be the envoy of the Jiangdong Road of Zhejiang West Road, and the generals were also subject to the Jiedun. Other generals such as Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others were appointed, and they led their troops north to Jiankang.

Time and space shifted. Just a few months ago, when the Southern Jin Army went south to search for mountains and seas to hunt down Zhao Gou, Zhao Zhen also launched a fierce attack on the Hezhong Mansion occupied by the Jin Army. At the same time, the four armies of Yue Fei's Guards, the Beiwei Army, the Victory Czech Army, and the Brave Army gathered in Hongdong City.

Yue Fei immediately appointed Zhang Xian under the control of the Beiwei Army as the vanguard, approaching Pingyang Mansion to investigate the situation as the vanguard, and the rest followed.

Zhang Xian personally led Yue Zhen to lead the First Army of the Wei Army 30 miles north of the city of Pingyang, and encountered the four thousand golden soldiers sent by Jindu Tong Wanyan Jammu to meet the enemy. Zhang Xian took the lead with a steel gun, and took the lead and led the army to attack first. Most of the Beiwei Army came from the Northwest Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, coupled with Zhao Zhen's special training methods.

The current soldiers of Beiwei are all heroes, and a group of generals are fighting for the first place, and the soldiers are desperate. In a big battle, their five thousand men and horses fled in embarrassment after four thousand golden soldiers were killed. Jinjun killed and injured more than two thousand people, with dead bodies everywhere.

Soon, the army of Believe in Wang's army counted 50,000 troops and approached Pingyang Mansion together. At this time, Zhao Zhen concentrated 10,000 guards and 30,000 imprisoned troops, with a total of 40,000 troops using Xinwangjun’s new artillery to attack Hezhong Fufu.

Within an hour, the city wall of Hezhong Fufu was bombed by new artillery. The Jindu reigned over Yan Jiamu and fled in a hurry, fled to Linjin, and then fled to Jiangzhou, which has a relatively large number of troops.

The Pingyang Mansion’s army was insufficient, so it retreated south to Jiangzhou. After discussing with Zhang Xian and others, Yue Fei decided to leave the Beiwei army stationed in Pingyang Mansion, and the rest of the troops rushed to various places to recover other places.

At this time, the Jindu reunification was completed, Yan Jiamu led fifty thousand golden soldiers to shrink in Jiangzhou, while Zhao Zhen and Yue Fei were busy attacking and regaining various places, so the two armies fell into peace for the time being.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was in Qingshicheng and saw the brother-in-law who came from Zhending, and the left army controlled Zhao Songyong. As soon as Zhao Songyong saw Zhao Zhen, he said, "Thousands of years have learned well in medicine. I didn't even know that His Highness would also see and treat people!"

It turned out that when Zhao Songyong came, he might have caught fire when he ran for thousands of miles, and it was so painful. Zhao Zhen ordered someone to give Zhao Songyong some pain-relieving herbs and peppercorns, but he didn't hurt anymore.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "This is not medical art, it is common sense. It's just that when there are fewer people who know this knowledge, they feel that the people who know it are powerful. In fact, it is not worth mentioning in front of a real doctor!" Zhao Song Yong smiled and said: "Where, there are many diseases in the world, but few cures. It can cure my toothache, which shows that Chitose has real ability. It is a pity that I also specially invited a doctor from Mianchi, but it is useless. The ground!"

Zhao Zhen smiled faintly and said: "That's not necessarily. I am going to start medicine in Bluestone City. I will specially select children to study medicine and build a hospital. What I want is medical talents. The doctor in Mianchi will just leave a few days so that he can teach me. Boys!" He said lightly, and in a few words, he left the doctor behind. Fortunately, he is a believer and a high-ranking authority, but if he wants people to teach medicine, they have to obey. This may not seem easy, but it is not difficult for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.

"By the way, I now collect a large number of doctors from all over the world. Go back to the commander-in-chief's mansion and tell Gao Yunfei to find me more in the land occupied by our army, the more the better! As many doctors as he can find, I will need as many doctors! "

Zhao Songyong said in a strange way: "Thousands of years, what do you want so many doctors for?" Zhao Zhen said: "Some medical practitioners are good at treating traumatic injuries, and some are good at diseases. Everyone's medical skills are not the same. I want to establish one. The medical center specializes in medicine. The more doctors there are, the better it can be done! Thinking about the profoundness of Chinese medicine, I will build a medical center so that many children can learn all kinds of medicine, which will surely benefit future generations!"

Zhao Songyong said in amazement: "Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to military training, as well as manufacturing steel weapons, mirrors, glass, gunpowder, spices, coke, etc. and high-yield food. He also attaches so much importance to medicine. I really didn’t expect... But it would cost a lot of money! The General Manager’s Mansion is very nervous now."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Of course I know this, but it is temporary. The important thing is to build up the manpower of doctors first. As for money and medicine, I will open up medicinal fields in a short time and specialize in simple medicinal materials. These things may be difficult to manage, but if they are not done, they will never be done! And I believe that with the efforts of the thousands of people who believe in the king, I will do it!”

Zhao Songyong said: "This is a good idea, I will let Gao Yunshan do my best."

In fact, Zhao Zhen's establishment of a hospital is of secondary importance. What is important is that he wants to establish a field ambulance hospital! To know Zhao Zhen's fine-grained soldiers policy, this means that every one of his soldiers is carefully selected, and every meal has to eat a lot of food, and also use precious meat.

But after a war, more than ten of the wounded and sick will survive, and 80 to 90% of the wounded will die! Even high-ranking generals can die if they are injured, let alone ordinary soldiers? When everyone talks about the loss of personnel after the war, they just talk about casualties. Casualties, casualties, in fact, there is not much difference between injury and death.

In other words, under normal circumstances, wounded soldiers are equivalent to dead soldiers. Not only do they have no ability to fight again, but they also affect the operation of the army. The way the northern barbarians deal with it is to kill the disabled, and kill their own people.

The Han people are better, but they are also limited. That is to let it go. No matter you, think of a way to be natural on the battlefield or elsewhere.

For soldiers, the real elite soldiers must crawl through the Dead Sea in this way. With a safe medical system, Zhao Zhen can reduce the fatality rate to 50%. If the doctor has good skills, sufficient medicinal materials, and anti-inflammatory herbs. Zhao Zhen can even reduce the injury and death rate to 10%! What a terrible number this is!

It is equivalent to re-creating the most elite army out of thin air, and it is still very experienced soldiers who have experienced injuries, pain and perseverance.

In the era of cold weapons, the chance of direct killing is very small, and the highest rate of battle damage is injury! The art of war of a soldier who fails to fight is the limit in the art of war! The real meaning of this sentence is to use the most mighty force and the most powerful form of expression to force the enemy to surrender, and then let me eat. Don't fight, just scare is enough!

Zhao Zhen is ambitious. He is not only for the throne of the Song Dynasty, but also to unify all the countries in the Han and Tang dynasties, such as Jin, the Western Liao, Mongolia, the Western Tubo countries, and Dali. He has the power to make the Song Dynasty supremely majestic. The strongest empire is ambitious.

The main purpose of his establishment of the field ambulance hospital was to serve his Xinwang army. The two armies fight each other. One has enough doctors to deal with injuries and the other does not. The casualty rate is completely different.

Only a small number of people actually died at the scene of the battle in battles with cold weapons. Once Zhao Zhen perfects the military medical system, his army will be even more terrifying, and soldiers will be more fearless of death! However, the honest and honest Zhao Songyong didn't know these lofty ideas, his mind couldn't think of it so far.

At this time, Zhao Songyong came with a letter from his younger sister and Princess Zheng, and then gave the letter to Zhao Zhen. He looked straight, and said, "Before I went, I got the southern tip that Jin Bing was attacking Lin'an and Hangzhou." Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said, "You are worried that Jin Jun will catch my brother who runs away. When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, we were fighting alone, right?"

Zhao Songyong said: "The Jin army is brave and good at fighting. It is not a false name to invade the Song Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty. You are in the Jiezhou and Hezhong Mansion aggressively. They know that we are the King of Letters. Now I believe in the King and King. They have already begun to deploy troops and generals to beware of us all over the border. You have to be careful? You know, once the Golden Army destroys the Zhao Gou court in the south, we will be alone!"

Zhao Zhen understands Zhao Songyong's worries, and it is true. The Jin Jun is definitely very powerful. The origin of the Kingdom of Jin is the northeastern region of Baishan and Heishui.

The Jurchen ethnic group is a minority nationality with a long history in China. They originally lived in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the Liao and Song people called them "Nvzhi" or "Jurchen", including the various tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin and the Songhua River Basin that belonged to the same ethnic group, and they spoke roughly the same language. The Jurchen tribe living in the Liaoyang area in the south gradually accepted the Liao culture and was incorporated into the household registration of the Liao Dynasty and was called "Mature Nvzhen". The Jurchen tribes north of the Songhua River and east of the Ningjiang River maintain their own custom system and are called "Sheng Jurchen". Sheng Jurchen live scattered among mountains and rivers, engaged in agriculture and hunting, and built houses with planks and birch bark. At that time, the birth of a daughter was really in the patriarchal clan tribe period. They paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty and exchanged goods with the Liao people for horses and fur.
