Liu Kui's soldiers said: "The King of Letters Army came quickly with one man and three horses. We don't know if there are other Song army shadows in it, but the King of Letters Army is very powerful from the point of view of weapons. Their cavalry. They use shameless long-range attacks. Archery is as powerful as money-free! Our cavalry and infantry are almost inaccessible! Of course, they also have damage, but it's not big. We can only retreat now!"
Liu Lin yelled: "Asshole! Zhao Zhen! You just beat me and occupied a large area, won't you be tired? Can't you stop for a few days? Do your best to attack!"
Hearing Liu Lin’s scolding, Liu Qian said: “I knew that the King of Belief would take advantage of the time when the main force of the Great King Kingdom was in the Jianghuai area, and it turned out to be like this. General Liu Lin, mobilize the entire army, we and the letter Wang Jun is fighting!"
Liu Lin thought for a while, and said to the guard who sent the letter under Liu Kui: "I'm here to ask you, how many cavalry are there under Liu Kui? How much is the total force?"
This doesn’t need to be nonsense. Liu Kui’s soldiers said immediately: “If you go back to the Marshal General, there are four thousand cavalry. The total strength is about 26,000. You know, the infantry who defended the city are all. They are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor."
"So many troops can hold the city for a while. I also know that the believer Zhao Zhen is a very terrible person. Of course, he is not three feet tall, three heads and six arms. But this person has become the world's number one master according to the legend. He alone can contend against thousands of warriors of the Golden Kingdom. Even if this statement is not entirely true, his force is quite terrifying!"
"Well, I will send troops to support Jiangxian County. I have to send at least 30,000 or more reinforcements, but this must be agreed by Yan Jammu!" Liu Lin said, annoyed in his heart. This is all over, Yan Jiamu, relied on being a Jurchen, so domineering, and robbed her of the position of commander in chief of the Han army, it was absolutely hateful.
Liu Yi spoke, and he said: "Marshal General, please give me 30,000 horses. I will believe in Wang Zhaozhen. I don't need too long to repel the enemy."
Now, if Liu Lin wants to send troops to support, he needs to bypass a procedure. First of all, Liu Qian was asked to go to Jindu Tongwan Yan Jammu to request troops. After the Jindu unified Yan Jammu and agreed, Liu Yi could summon the soldiers. Of course, their army has to be reorganized, and a certain amount of food and grass have to be rationed before sending troops.
Jindu reunified Yan Jammu's method of grabbing control of the army, which is actually a kind of control in disguise. He was actually afraid of these Han soldiers rebelling.
Jindu reunified Yan Jammu also has fifty thousand genuine gold army composed of Jurchens, Hans outside Guan and Fanbing. On the one hand, it is to resist the army of Yue Fei from the north, and on the other hand, it is to frighten these Han soldiers to be honest. a little.
In fact, the nomads are all like this, which is the same as the soldiers who had nothing to do in the Song Dynasty and raised a large number of votes in their own capital.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty began to practice the weak branch and the strongest method. The Prohibition Army was the strongest, while the Xiang Army and other soldiers were the weakest. When the Song Dynasty went on an expedition, he would often attack with more than one hundred and two hundred thousand forbidden troops! Because the frontier army of the Song Dynasty was not strong, the local troops could not do anything except the Forbidden Army.
Only after the arrival of Renzong, the Northwest Frontier Army has been fighting with Xixia, and it has trained an army with excellent combat effectiveness. It is a pity that Cai Jing and others completely corrupted and disintegrated the fighting power of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, causing the entire Song Dynasty to have no strong soldiers, easily defeated by the Jin army, and lost half of the end.
When learning that the inevitable Xin Wang Zhaozhen personally led the attack, Yan Jammu said: "I'm afraid that the troops are not enough!" This was what he said when he delivered the generals.
Originally, Liu Yi wanted 30,000 troops, but Jindu unified Yan Jammu gave 40,000 people in one go. Not only that, Jindu reunified Yan Jammu also specially gave Liu Yi four Fan tribe "enemy of ten thousand" warriors, which is an incredible kindness. These Fans who have won the title of "Enemy of Ten Thousand" Warriors are all brave and brave people out of a million.
Once elected, they only do one thing, and that is to practice martial arts. With the support of Jin Guo, they have already accumulated a lot. Every warrior who can take it out can be proud of the great swordsman of martial arts outside, absolutely not to be underestimated. It is precisely because of the reputation of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and his pretending Gao Pang that his reputation has been further enhanced. People think that he and his army are incomparable, so Jin Dutong Wanyan Jama is so generous because of fear of failure.
After four days of intense and busy work, Liu Qian ordered more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and set off with the four ten-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand warriors who had been brought from Jindu Tongwan Yan Jammu. They also brought a group of cattle, sheep and grain. In this way, we started to leave Jiangzhou City and head towards Jiangxian City for support.
However, before Liu Qian led his army to Jiangxian, he encountered a defeated soldier who had retreated from Jiangxian. At the same time, from the mouth of the defeated soldier, a shocking news reached Liu Qian's ears. Jiangxian Town is lost!
Helpless Liu Wei immediately found Liu Kui who had retreated to the Jiangshan cottage. Even if an army of hundreds of thousands came over, Jiangxian County and an army of 20,000 to 30,000 could still be able to withstand it for a while. But now, in unexpected circumstances, Jiangxian County has fallen. Not only was Jiangxian lost, but the spies had just returned it. The entire villages and towns to the east of Jiangxian were occupied by a large number of believers.
At present, tens of thousands of the Imperial Guards of the Xinwang Army and the Right Army of the Xinwang Guards, under the command of Wang Jin, are attacking the neighboring states and counties of Jiangzhou, such as Zezhou and Mengzhou.
Liu Wei, who had obtained this information, questioned Liu Kui: "You said that they had 50,000 troops attacking you, but the main force of the Believe King’s army was in the surrounding states and counties. According to the report from the horse inspector, there is only Jiangxian in our front. More than 5,000 people believe in the king’s army. Even if they are the whole army, they will only add up to more than 50,000 or 60,000 people. In this way, the return of the horse is true. The number of real soldiers on our opposite enemy will not exceed Ten thousand people. I really want to know if you can take five thousand to ten thousand people to capture the Jiangxian city guarded by 27,000 soldiers! How did you get the city to be captured by your family, how did you fight the battle? ?"
Liu Kui was relieved when he heard that the other party was only reprimanding. Liu Qian only blamed him, indicating that it was not a serious crime that he was defeated, and Liu Lin did not order him to be cleaned up.
At this time, Liu Wei, who was helplessly annoyed, discussed the specific situation with Liu Kui, but Liu Kui didn't know how he was defeated. For example, as far as he knows, believe that Wang Jun is full of calculations, and the number of people attacking Jiangxian Town will not exceed 5,000, let alone 50,000. At that time, after only hearing a loud noise that shook the world, Jiangxian County was full of iron knights believing in the King's Army. So, what magical powers and methods were used by the Wang Jun to lay down the Jiangxian city guarded by more than 20,000 people with 5,000 troops. Are all Liu Kui's soldiers dead stupid? Let Xin Wang Jun pick up the leak
"Li Su, I listen to you in everything. Let me be the vanguard. Let's attack and take back the town of Jiangxian."
After listening to Liu Kui's words, Liu Qian didn't say anything. He upholds the Shandong people's habit of leading the army carefully, and first sent out scouts. The return of the horse visit is very vague. He wants to find out the truth. He wants to know how the Jiangxian town was lost. He needs to know how many people there are in the current believers, and how many believers they will face.
The matter is divided into two ends, let's talk about believing in Wang Jun. Zhao Zhen was not idle during the period when Liu Yi and the others decided to send troops.
On the day that Jiangxian was captured, Zhao Zhen ordered that most of the grains in Jiangxian should be transferred to the army. The rice grains in Jiangxian County are enough for 40,000 people to use for a long time, and there are a lot of them. Zhao Zhen still had surplus left for the army, and Zhao Zhen distributed the grain to the people in and around the city. In my original letter, Wang Jun was different from the other Song troops, and did not commit any crime to the people. When the common people mentioned believing in the king's army, they all supported it.
Zhao Zhen made a lot of food, and by doing this, he became even more a living bodhisattva for the people. To defeat the Jinjun, to protect the people from harm, and to return food to eat, the people would almost treat the king's army as their relatives. The people spontaneously joined the Xinwang Army, built the city walls, and transported materials and food to the Xinwang Army.
In this way, with the support of the people, Zhao Zhen organized the young and middle-aged and the soldiers, and after the soldiers divided the food, they started a new step.
Zhao Zhen held a prisoner of war again, and volunteered to help the young people who believed in the king's army, a total of forty-five thousand people came. Although they can't fight with the golden soldiers, defending the city is very important.
Therefore, before Liu Wei's army arrived at Jiangshan City to meet Liu Kui, Zhao Zhen's army had expanded from 5,000 to more than 30,000. And half of them are cavalry with horses! The number of young and middle-aged people recruited by Zhao Zhen and the young and middle-aged people who were adapted from the Golden Soldiers and Han Chinese Army prisoners under their control reached more than 50,000.
In the Jinbing Han army, women who were more than 4,000 years old were also rescued, all of which were also robbed by the Jinbing Han army. At the same time, all these young women were resettled except for those with a home to go back to. This also allowed a large number of generals and soldiers to marry their wives, which solved certain problems for everyone.
Although it seems that Zhao Zhen's army is rolling more and more, but Zhao Zhen is very clear that the current situation is not good, and the expansion of the team is not necessarily a good thing. The first is the question of popular support. Since ancient times, it is easy to attack the city, but difficult to win. The people support the army of the king, but the soldiers may not be convinced.
Just like now, no matter how he uses food and money to seduce him, and use a gang of mobilized generals to confuse him, there is no guarantee that these people will be all loyal to him! This is simply impossible. At least Zhao Zhen didn't believe it.
In fact, it is very simple to strengthen confidence, and that is to fight a landmark victory! Let these soldiers see who is the real king.
This must be a real victory, not a small fight, not defeating part of the enemy's army, but to lay down the enemy's main force.
There are no cities in this area, except for a few small towns in Tucheng. These towns are vulnerable, and Jiangxian Town is the real hardest hit.
Up to now, Jiangxian County has been occupied by the Xinzhu Army, but Jiangshan now has more than 10,000 remnants and 40,000 reinforcements from the Xinyu Army.
In order to receive more information, Liu Qian sent five groups of spies. However, in the face of reports by the people who had been enthusiastic and spontaneously organized by You Lianger, and surrounded by militiamen and patrols, five groups of Li Yi's spies were arrested and killed.
Although Li Yijun didn't know the letter Wang Jun on the opposite side, they would definitely send another horse to inspect the military situation. For various reasons, Zhao Zhen must fight quickly. For this reason, Zhao Zhen had to think about attacking Jiangshan as soon as possible.
Jiangshan Fortress was built on the mountain, and the terrain was dangerous, and Zhao Zhen had not much gunpowder left, so it was impossible to use the blasting siege method to capture Jiangxian County.
After deciding to attack the Jiangshan cottage, Zhao Zhen made careful arrangements. He left a thousand guards, soldiers and horses, and more than ten thousand young men and women in Jiangxian County, and looked after the rear. And Zhao Zhen personally led an army consisting of four thousand guards from the Zuo Army, ten thousand cavalry soldiers, and twenty thousand young soldiers.
This is the main force of the left armies of the guards in Di Lei's hand, and most of them are descendants. Because they were afraid of the strict military regulations of the king's army and the rewards for the king's meritorious service, they were very obedient by the strategy of combining grace and power, which was also convenient for Zhao Zhen's command.
It was a dark night. Zhao Zhenyin's army quietly lurked under the Jiangshan Walled City. The Shanzhai Walled City gate was closed. Although it was a mountain city walled city, the city gate was a steel gate and was very strong.
The horses covered their mouths and hooves, and although it was night, they were not noticed by the guards in the city.
Because there are only dozens of generals and guards who command the army, they have the special ability of leading soldiers, and the officers and generals need to command the army. Zhao Zhen had no choice but to personally lead the guards, and through the night, he moved forward slightly.
Being helpless to go into battle in person, it did not affect the speed of Zhao Zhen and his guards. Without much movement, Zhao Zhen and the others came to the city. There were soldiers in the city, but they didn't feel anything abnormal at all. The Han soldiers of the Jin Army were totally unaware of the coming of war.
In the small woods outside the city, Zhao Zhen's army, led by Di Lei, was waiting. They were waiting for the omnipotent King Zhao Zhen to open the gate of the walled city for them.
Zhao Zhen and dozens of guards threw out the hooks, the hooks were wrapped with twine, and there was no splashing sound. Zhao Zhen led dozens of guards holding the rope as agile as an ape, and one by one quickly and carefully climbed the wall of the cottage.
Zhao Zhen, who was on the wall of the cottage, became angry, because he went to the city with the great dragon spear on his back. The first to appear was dozens of Jinbing and Han soldiers on the wall. They ran to Zhao Zhen and the others who climbed the wall to be guarded, and then tore them to death with Zhao Zhen and others. However, most of them were named one by one by Zhao Zhen holding a large and medium dragon spear, and then stabbed to the key, and soon died.
In this night, Zhao Zhen wore a black helmet with a triangular cover and a complete set of black armor, just like the impermanence of the night. At first, some people rushed up to attack, but after a while, it didn't work. No matter how many people are Jinbing and Han soldiers, they are brave, but when they see that they are rushing to meet the enemy and they are killed by Zhao Zhen and others like chickens and dogs, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid. This is an era of mysticism. Soldiers saw a group of killers suddenly appeared out of thin air at night, and there was also such a powerful existence that seemed almost invincible.
In a blink of an eye, the soldiers in the city began to be timid, retreated, and ran away. Zhao Zhen led people to chase and kill the gate, a dozen guards pushed the winch, and the gate slowly opened and forgot. At this time, more Han soldiers from the Jin Army appeared. However, it was useless for these soldiers to appear. They were easily slaughtered by Zhao Ying with extremely fast attacks. The big guns danced and stabbed like lightning. This kind of slaughter was so terrible that groups of Jin soldiers and Han sergeants were shot to death, their bones broken or turned into corpses.
At this time, the gate of the walled city was wide open, and countless cavalry soldiers galloped in from outside. The soldiers rushing quickly used long spears and broadswords to slash and assassinate the enemy. The cold metal pierced or pierced the flesh and blood, splashing countless waves of blood.
Facing Zhao Zhen's bravery and the countless cavalry rushing into the village, facing the bodies of countless Jin Army Han soldiers, the Jin Army Han soldiers screamed or screamed. Many people even chose to surrender altogether.
At this time, Di Lei headed in one horse and entered the gate. He happily said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, you are done!" Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "It is done, but you have to work harder. There are a lot of golden soldiers in the village, and you can't let an enemy go." Di Lei nodded and said, "I have separated three camps with more than 6,000 strong men and three others. Once the enemy escapes, they will immediately block and kill the enemy as much as possible!"
Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement and said, "Then hurry up. We are not too familiar with this to give the Jin Jun a chance to breathe. If they react, it will be broken to organize a large-scale counterattack. So you guys. Must be faster."
It was night, there was chaos in Jiangxian County. A large number of Jin soldiers and Han soldiers were killed when they were not surprised in their sleep. Some of them were killed when they were found to be wrong when they fled out of the city. . More Han soldiers of the Jin Army chose to surrender. The entire Jiangshan Walled City fell in an incredibly fast way.
After entering the city, Zhao Zhen's army's morale was greatly boosted, which was an inevitable result. Because Zhao Zhen immediately issued a reward order, this reward order was aimed at the soldiers who dropped by the Golden Soldiers and the Han soldiers and those who had thrown in. Zhao Zhen promised that as long as he fights for him, once he wins the war, Zhao Zhen will give everyone five buckets of food and a sheep. Those who kill the enemy for meritorious service will not have to pay taxes for two years in the family. Zhao Zhen will also teach them to farm to ensure that they will live a rich life!
In fact, it was precisely because of this reward order that the news of Zhao Zhen's occupation of a large area was leaked out. Zhao Zhen also hinted that the Golden Soldiers and Han Chinese soldiers under his men had been surrendered, indicating that their names are among the rewards, and this is what makes these people feel good.
