Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 14: Attack the Golden Soldiers

Views:

Zhao Zhen arrived when everyone had a proper discussion. When Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangjie saw Zhao Zhen, the generals were very polite and stood up to greet them. They have changed a lot in their attitude towards Zhao Zhen. This person must have real abilities, and he will give full play to his talents wherever he goes. If you have real skills, you will be respected. Zhao Zhen effortlessly took down Leping City with just one captive. This was his ability, and he couldn't accept it.

Everyone respects Zhao Zhen now, it really respects him from the bottom of his heart, instead of just doing superficial effort. Zhao Zhen now has occupied an increasingly important position in everyone's hearts.

Among the many people present here, everyone has thousands of people under their hands, and all of them think they are great. But after the battle of Huangfengshan, everyone's first thought was to return to Dashan.

Conquered a Leping city and annihilated seven or eight thousand enemy troops before and after the Golden Soldier. Although the rebels achieved unprecedented results, the consequences were also serious.

After the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin knew about it, he was bound to retaliate and send more troops to encircle and suppress the rebels. The rebels were weak, and they had nothing to do with the Leping City guarded by thousands of golden soldiers. Once Leping is attacked, the army will be damaged again, and the rebels will be weak and the prospects are slim. And Leping City is like a mountain of money and food, but you can only look at it, and no one can beat it down if you can't grab it.

Now, Zhao Zhen could easily defeat it by thinking of a way, and he had just figured it out after he had just finished the Huangfengshan Golden Soldier. How could this be possible if it weren't for the emperor's son, a dignified believer, and talented person? For the emperor, the people of that era had a kind of worship and respect. Think that the emperor is the son of emperor, who descended from the sky. In fact, all the emperors such as Huizong, Qinzong, Gaozong, etc., all know what they are.

In a short period of time, because of his strategy, the Rebels fought a victory and seized a lot of food and grass. Now he easily won a treasure trove. For some time to come, at least this year's life will be better. Therefore, many people began to believe that the King of Belief was descended from the stars to save everyone from the reincarnation of the gods who resisted the gold and saved the people in the water and fire, and began to believe that he has extraordinary abilities. Everyone is a little bit convinced that maybe one day, King Xin can really lead the rebels to expel Jin Bing, restore rivers and mountains, and build a great cause.

After Zhao Zhen arrived, someone immediately slapped Wang Qiansui's flattery. Zhao Zhen didn't bother to listen to their flattery. This group of illiterate leaders would flatter those old words, and it was really disgusting to hear too much.

Zhao Bangjie briefly said a few words about the attack on Dongcheng and the preparation of the slaughter of non-Han captives. Zhao Zhen heard that they were going to wash Dongcheng with snow and slaughter the captives, and she complained repeatedly in her heart.

The hearts of you guys are getting dark, it's all about killing the Jurchens, but also killing the Bohai people! Kill the Khitan! The Bohai people, the Khitan people, and more people from the Liaodong and Han dynasties were nothing more than poor people who were used as soldiers by the Jin soldiers. If they were incorporated, they would be a sharp blade against the golden soldiers. Now that you kill them, who will surrender? Zhao Zhen thought.

"All killed, it would be a pity." Zhao Zhen sighed deliberately, looking very regretful. "The Khitan people have treated the Han people as slaves for more than two hundred years, and their hatred is as deep as the sea. The Bohai people helped the people to abuse them. When the Liao State was in the country, they helped the Khitan people kill us Han people, and now they help the Jin soldiers slaughter us Han people. , But in the end you showed great kindness and kindness like a bodhisattva, and with a single slash, the sea of blood was taken away."

After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, everyone immediately felt reasonable. It would be too cheap for them to cut their heads, so some people suggested that Ling Chi, some clamored for peeling and digging, some said that they were fried, lighted sky lanterns, and rolled the top. They said that they gritted their teeth and tried to torture the barbarians, but these methods are too time-consuming and obviously unrealistic.

"What are the tricks of Chitose?" Someone asked Zhao Zhen directly, too lazy to use his brain. The resourceful believer that His Royal Highness is here, do we need to think hard? Everyone listened to Zhao Zhen.

"The Khitan and the Bohai people helped and abused and slaughtered us. How many innocent people died? How many people died?" Zhao Zhen was filled with indignation. We must repay the sins on our bodies. There are many Hans in their army. They enslaved the Hans to fight for them. Finally, our tragic Han beats the Hans. Now, we are going to kill the Jurchens and pile up the bodies into corpses. Mountains, make the Jinbing scared. We capture the Khitan and the Bohai people and let them fight for us. Let the Khitan and the Bohai people kill the golden dogs, the less they kill. This is the best revenge!"

Everyone was stunned, leaving the lives of the Bohai people and the Khitan people. What kind of revenge is this? But the current prestige of the king of letter was gradually established, and everyone heard that there was some truth, so no one came out to refute it.

"We not only need to recruit Tibetan troops, but also build a Tibetan army! We must rely on everyone's strength to fight the gold. When will we have ten thousand horse troops only by our Han people? Look at the original Liao army and look at the present The Jurchens in the country are all tens of thousands of horse soldiers. Are their horse soldiers all Khitan? They are all Jurchens? Open your eyes and look carefully. Those horse soldiers are all tribes of Liaodong. There are many Han people. They can kill Han people with Han people, why can't we kill them with captives? We leave them behind and kill them. Do we have to work hard for everything? Then when can we kill all the gold? Bing, can I restore my Han and Tang rivers?"

Zhao Zhen's words could not be the most straightforward. Even if the generals and leaders of the rebel army were dissatisfied with Zhao Zhen's decision, they could understand it now. Using Han people to kill the captives, the more the Han people kill, the fewer the captives, the more the captives kill, the less the captives, the truth is too simple, let Zhao Zhen say that everyone understands.

At this time, old marshal Ma Zheng, deputy marshal Zhao Bangjie, leader Liu Sange, and general Zhang Ying all took the lead in complimenting them, and whether others slapped Zhao Zhen's flattery. Of course everyone hopes that the Rebels will have more and more cavalry. Over the years, the Great Song Army encountered the Liao and Jin Bings and they were defeated repeatedly. The lack of elite horse troops was an important reason.

The most elite horse troops in the north are the captives and the Han people ruled in the northeast. If the rebels do not make any improvements in this respect, and they still use the infantry as the main force of the army, then in the face of the golden soldiers full of cavalry, can the rebels support it? Whether it can defeat the Jin army who came to encircle and suppress is completely unknown.

Leping East City was quickly attacked by the rebels. The rebels killed all the Jurchens in Leping City and piled them up into a mountain of corpses. The Bohai people, Khitan people, and other people were reorganized and dispersed into the rebel forces to serve as the vanguards and vanguards.

After patrolling the surrounding army without big stone forest teeth and knowing that they were deceived, Pu Jianu, who was responsible for destroying the rebel army, became angry. He put all the deceived crimes on the chief judge Deng Shi, and then he led the main army of 10,000 gold soldiers to pursue the Xinwangdiyi army.

At this time, Pu Jianu's army stopped fifty miles away from Leping, because the scout sent a message that Xin Wang Yijun had captured Leping City.

The rebels captured Leping City? The rebels led by Zhao Zhen defeated the golden soldiers in Leping City? how can that be? There are three thousand golden soldiers and five thousand civil servants in Leping City, and those three thousand golden soldiers are all warriors who have been fighting for a long time. In the past few years, various golden soldiers rushed to various battlefields during the invasion of Song Dynasty, and the golden soldiers of Leping City can be regarded as an elite division.

In the past few months, the letter king Zhao Zhen has risen rapidly in Wuma Mountain. After leaving Wuma Mountain, he has gathered a large number of people and strong men who have defected. A few days ago, Zhao Zhen captured Leping City again. Now the strength of the rebels who believe in the king has skyrocketed, which is also a big threat to the Kingdom of Jin. After all, the Rebels were in the area occupied by the Golden Army. Apart from Wang Yan's Bazi Army, Zhao Zhen could be regarded as one of the biggest disasters in the Golden Army.

Pu Jianu's army reached a place fifty miles outside Leping City, and the rebel scouts also found them.

"We have to take the initiative to attack." Zhao Zhenyu is not surprising and endless. In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Zhao Zhen said: "I'm going to fight Pu Jianu. After half an hour, the army will start and prepare to attack."

There was deathly silence in the big tent, and then chaos. Everyone stopped, and even Zhao Bangjie couldn't help but persuade him. Faced with the main Jinbing force, Zhao Bangjie certainly did not want to fight. It was not because he dared not fight and feared the Golden Soldiers, but he believed that after possessing the city, the Rebels did not have to fight against the Golden Soldiers, who were mostly horses.

After two bloody battles, the losses of the rebels were not small. Now the soldiers of the rebels who can go to the battlefield, plus Zhao Songyong's army, have no more than 25,000. In addition, the fighting power of the Rebels was far worse than that of the Golden Soldiers. In this case, the battle scenes faced 10,000 elites of the Golden Soldiers. Apart from being defeated and collapsed, the Rebels seemed to have no better results.

"Do you know how many horse troops Pu Jianu brought? Only two thousand. In addition to 10,000 golden soldiers, they also have 20,000 young men of the Han who specialize in attacking the city as cannon fodder. If we wait for the golden soldiers to come, we will be equal In the face of 30,000 enemies. If we take the initiative to attack, as long as we fight an ambush, those strong Han Chinese will collapse and flee. In addition, Leping is a small city, we now have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and we can’t afford to resettle them. Many people are placed in them. Outside the city, the Golden Soldiers are here, what do they do?"

As he said, Zhao Zhen shook his head repeatedly, and continued: "Pu Jianu ran more than 400 miles across the mountains to chase us. Now they are hungry and exhausted. If they suddenly encounter us eight thousand horses and ten thousand horses. With the siege of multiple infantry, do they still have a way to survive? As long as the ambush location is suitable, there is a big river in front of it, and our chase behind, what can the golden soldiers do? They can only be killed by us."

Zhao Zhenxiong said confidently: "The gold guys must think that we dare not take the initiative to attack, so we give them a surprise and beat them down."

Zhao Zhen and Ma Zheng discussed with Zhao Bangjie and asked Zhao Bangjie to select one hundred thousand from the hundreds of thousands of people and pretend to be most of the troops to follow the rebel infantry. In addition, he is also responsible for transporting all the grain and grass into the city.

Hundreds of thousands of people will use all the banners to confuse the golden soldiers and attack the morale of the golden soldiers. Zhao Bangjie understands that he will do this, and he will definitely be able to do it well.

In this way, Zhao Zhen, Ma Zheng, and all the people from all walks of life, a total of 25,000 rebels, began to rush from the small road to the only way to the Jin Bing, ready to take the initiative to attack the Jin Bing.

Before that time, the army arrived at the big river southeast of Leping and laid ambush behind the surrounding dense forests and mountains. At this time, the scout reported that Jin Jun was about to reach the bank of the river where he was scheduled to ambush.

Jin Bing was walking to the edge of the river, and when he was about to cross the river, he suddenly killed countless rebels from all directions. Eight thousand cavalry suddenly charged out of the woods, and the unsuspecting golden soldiers were immediately interspersed and divided by the rebel cavalry.

The rebel cavalry separated the 20,000 young Chinese heroes from the main army of the Jinbing. The 20,000 young men of Han were all people captured by the Jinbing from Hexi Road and Hedong Road. When everyone saw the rebels came, they hurried for most of the time, and many homeless men surrendered directly. The guards of the Jinbing were also slashed and killed by the Han Chinese who suddenly fled or surrendered, and the rest were slashed and killed by the galloping Rebel cavalry.

At this time, the main force of the divided Jin soldiers did not even have the ability to chase down the soldiers of the Han Zhuang Ding, because they were surrounded by the sudden appearance of the Rebel cavalry and a large number of Rebel infantry on the edge of the river.

With 10,000 people in the Jin army, leaning against the river, they formed a conical battle formation with thick wings and a prominent front. It was an offensive and defensive formation.

More than 3,000 people in the cavalry battalion of Xinwang were commanded by Zhao Qinger, and more than 3,000 people in the infantry battalion were commanded by Wang Jin. Liu Xi, Wu Feng, Liu Sange and other leaders led more than 8,000 soldiers, as well as tens of thousands of people led by Zhao Bangjie, Zhao Songyong, and Ma Zheng. This is Zhao Zhen's capital today.

Behind the army led by Zhao Zhen, there are dozens of large phalanxes with flags flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum is very shocking. But those are full of people. The flag fluttered endlessly, as if there were a hundred thousand troops lined up. Jin Bing saw this situation, so many of the rebel army who didn't know where they came from were all a little hairy.

The Jin army has about 10,000 troops, but only two thousand cavalry, even if it flees, it can't run fast. The Jinbing sees the large number of volunteers, and it can be judged from the battle flag that the total strength is about 120,000 to 30,000. Even if the army is insufficient, it can be compensated by numbers. Therefore, in Pu Jianu's view, there is almost no chance of winning this battle.

"Well, it's very good, very good..." Zhao Zhen smiled, his head kept clicking like a chicken pecking rice, "The 20,000 strong men surrendered at least 8,000, and they also received a lot of siege weapons and food. This time we made a profit."

When Liu Xi, Wu Feng and others saw Zhao Zhen, the king of faith, Qiansui looked self-conscious and happily like an okay person. They secretly calmed down their minds. They now firmly believe in Zhao Zhen's greatness. Some believers in ghosts and gods still think that Zhao Zhen is worthy of being a dragon son. He has high spells, people's little mouths, gods help, and everything can be done. Playing a golden soldier is not like playing. But they never thought that if the Zhao family's royal family knew spells, could the whole family be copied by the golden soldiers

Zhao Zhen personally took Wang Jin and the soldiers from the Three Thousand Infantry Battalion, as well as one hundred thousand beautiful people on the left wing of Jinbing. At this time, on the right-wing battlefield of Jin Bing, 22,000 Rebels and five thousand Jin Bing began to fight. On the entire right-wing battlefield, the Golden Soldiers and the Rebels fought back and forth, and the horns continued to rise.

On the left-wing battlefield, the two armies confronted each other. Apart from shouting and screaming, 100,000 people had nothing to follow. The left-wing golden soldiers didn't care about attacking rashly. The left-wing rebels looked crowded. Although they were all good-looking, the golden soldiers who didn't know the details did not dare to attack. Both sides could only stare at each other with wide-eyed eyes, but neither side dared to attack first.

At this time, Zhao Bangjie came in a hurry with thirty carriages. Zhao Zhen praised him greatly. He did a great job. The young and middle-aged people who ate mixed food couldn't fight, but they shouted slogans in a decent way. Well, wait to see my banner, I tell you to shout, you just shout, don't let the gang of people sit idle.

At this time, Zhao Bangjie hesitated and stopped talking. "What do you want to say?" Zhao Zhen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "After this battle, we will be able to rely on the Taihang Mountains to attack the city and build our foundation. Then you will be the master. ."

Zhao Bangjie hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Master Chitose, Gao Yunfei seems to be gone..."

"You suspect that he ran away, don't you?" Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "I know where he is. You can do your thing with peace of mind. After the battle is over, you will know what he did." Although Zhao Bangjie He was puzzled, but the king didn't say anything, and he was not easy to ask, so he turned around and left with a lot of questions.

The knife took a few guards of the letter king and opened the felt cloth on the carriage, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Thirty carriages, gold and silver jewels, silk, satin and silk were piled full.

These properties, believe that the King Qiansui will be used to reward them? The guards can't help being a little jealous, and I don't know who is lucky enough to get these things later. It’s better to follow the King of Belief in Qiansui. Believe King Chitose doesn't need to be blindfolded. For a generous boss like His Royal Highness, he is the only one in the entire rebel army. The other leaders of the rebel army are miserers, and they keep the good things they grabbed. They are just like the bandit leaders.

The knife came flying fast like lightning. After receiving the command from the commander-in-chief, he jumped on his horse and ran, whipped up his whip, and beat the horse to hiss, all four hoofs flew into the air.

At this time, under the order of the knife, one thousand soldiers walked out with three thousand Bohai and Khitan captives. The leader of the three thousand Bohai people and the Khitan people was the Gaobao Mountain that surrendered, but because they were afraid that the Bohai people and the Khitan people would revolt, the group of captives were not tied up, but they did not have weapons for the time being.

Because among the golden soldiers who surrendered to the rebels, only the Jurchen were killed, and the Bohai, Khitan, and other ethnic groups were not killed, and they still had food to eat, so everyone was grateful. But now in front of the two armies, they obviously also knew that they were going to be sent out to fight, and their expressions became nervous.
