Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 146: Unpredictable

Views:

The next day, Li Qiong led an army of ten thousand troops to launch a new attack on Taiping City. This time, Li Qiong was calculated by Zhang, and just as he used 10,000 horses to attack the city, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind. Li Qiong turned to look at the back formation, and was shocked. It was the Xinwangbing cavalry led by Zhang Yong himself!

He had just given the order to gather men and horses to stop him, and believe that the king's cavalry slew to the Jinjun Han army camp, and the unsuspecting Jinbing Han army immediately raged into chaos. The generals cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the generals, so they can only fight separately. The Jinbing Han soldiers who were siege of the city saw enemy troops appearing behind them, and the camp was in chaos. They couldn't help but Mingjin retreated their troops, and ran back after dropping their helmets and unarmed.

The soldiers standing at the head of the city were overjoyed. Under Wang Zaixing's order, the five thousand soldiers who had already assembled at the gate of the city rushed out of the city, and the leaders of the city followed along.

After all, the Jinbing and Han troops were very poor in combat effectiveness. Li Qiong couldn't resist it, so she ordered to retreat and evacuated to 30 miles southeast of Taiping City before getting rid of Xinwangbing's pursuit. The Jinbing and Han soldiers did not dare to stay here, took a short break for an hour, and continued to withdraw south. It was not until the retreat to the northern outskirts of Jiangzhou City that it was completely stabilized, and the Jinbing and Han troops hurriedly organized a new line of defense.

In Jiangzhou City, looking at Liu Lin with Li Qiong’s gray-headed face in front of him, Jin Du has finished with a burst of hatred in Yan Jia’s mother's heart. Your kid will also lose the battle. If you join me in Taiping early, Maybe Yue Fei had already become his own devil, where could there be today's disaster!

Although I thought so in my heart, Jin Dutong finished Yan Jammu and said, "Master Li, what do you think we should do next?"

Li Qi sighed and hated Jindu's reunification of Yan Yanmu in his heart, just wanting to use himself as a gunman. He won't let your own army be saved, but if you get the army, you let it save, but you defeated and returned.

But now the two are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they must unite to block the powerful believer army. Liu Lin let out a sigh of relief and said: "We should unite our troops, gather all the troops, take the initiative to attack Taiping, and take advantage of the fact that there are not many soldiers in the city, and we will take it down again!"

Hearing that, Jindu unified Yan Yan's mother and smiled coldly in her heart, and said: "Master Li, we all thought that now you and my soldiers have just lost the battle and their morale is extremely low, while the morale of the Wang Jun's victory is high. , Our side is obviously at a disadvantage. According to the view of the capital, it is best to keep Jiangzhou in one place, and then I will send a letter to the above. You also write a letter to your father asking for help, waiting for you and me After the reinforcements arrive, it’s not too late to have a showdown with Xin Wang Jun."

Liu Lin nodded and said, "Okay, then I will write to my dad to ask for help. You should also write to Marshal Wanyanchang as soon as possible, so that they can support as soon as possible, so as not to be taken down by Jiangzhou by the Xin Wangjun. Ben. The officer didn't have the energy to rescue him." After that, he got up and walked back. Looking at his back, Jin Dutong finished Yan Yan's mother's heart and said: "Bah, you can't even wipe your butt clean, you're still here to be awesome!"

Seeing Yue Fei and Zhao Zhen defeating Jin Jun in a row, Zhang Jun also began to think about it. In front of Zhao Gou, Zhang Jun insisted on managing Hanzhong and strengthening the defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi. He believed that "Hanzhong is the place where the situation of the world is real, and the order to the Central Plains must be based on this." At the beginning, he persuaded Gaozong to plan for the westward journey. According to Hanzhong, "the division that controlled the six roads in front, then the millet in Xichuan, left to pass through Jing and Xiang’s wealth, and went out of Qin and Long horses on the right," defending could block Sichuan, and attacking was desirable. Hedong and Henan. Therefore, Gaozong Zhao Gou appointed Zhang Jun as the disposer of Chuanshan Xuanfu.

Because of the expansion of King Xin's army in Hedong, the eastern part of Shaan-Long area, Zhao Gou, who was to avoid being seized of local power by the King of Xin Zhao Zhen, sent Zhang Jun to Longchuan early to take charge of military affairs.

Since Zhang Jun took office, he has been mobilizing deployments to strengthen defense, changing Lizhou, Xizhou, Qingzhou (now Gansu Qingyang), Weizhou), Qinzhou, and Chengdu all road ministers to generals. After the defenses of Sichuan and Shaanxi gradually stabilized, Zhang Jun saw that the army under the command of King Xin Wang Zhaozhen and the army of Xin Wang Jun Yue Fei repeatedly defeated the Jin army, and Gaozong Zhao Gou in the south of the Yangtze River was pursued by the army of Wanyan Zongbi (Wu Shu).

In order to protect his master, in order to reduce the Jin army's offensive power against Jiang and Huai, plus jealously believe in the king's record. Zhang Jun finally decided to leave Guanzhong and defeat Jin Jun. Since Zhang Jun could not provoke Wang Zhaozhen to believe in Wang Zhaozhen whether he was in the Song Dynasty or in terms of military strength. Therefore, even though Zhang Jun was eager to switch from defense to offense, he still did not dare to compete for territory with Xin Wang Jun, so he sent out Qingyuan Road and Kuo Yan Road that Xin Wang Jun could not take care of for the time being.

The general Qu Duan believed that sending troops to fight in the plains and wilderness would help the golden cavalry to rush forward, and it would be difficult to fight for the front. First sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait until the Jin army and the Xinwang army are exhausted, and then wait for the gap to attack. But Zhang Jun was eager to do meritorious service and did not listen to his opinions.

In fact, the reason why Qu Duan suggested so is also because of selfishness. Now the situation is unknown. The two brothers Zhao Gou and Zhao Zhen originally had a throne conflict. On the face of it, Zhao Zhen asked for help with Zhao Gou several times. Although Zhao Gou refused, Zhao Zhen also admitted the other side’s emperor on the surface. position. And Zhao Gou also admitted that the other party is the Marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses. But the two were secretly guarding each other.

And Qu Duan is willing to wait for the price to sell it and do it. As for the jealous Li Yanxian and the letter king Zhao Zhen eyebrows, Zhang Jun obviously already knows, and he has long wanted to clean up Li Yanxian. In such a situation, the smart Li Yanxian will sooner or later surrender to the Wang Jun. Therefore, he believes that it is best not to fight the Golden Soldiers and to preserve the strength.

Zhang Jun ignored Qu Duan’s suggestion, and directly mobilized the Xihe Economic Commissioner Liu Xi, Qin Feng’s Commissioner Sun Wo, Jingyuan’s Commissioner Liu Qi, Quan Yongxing’s Military Commissioner Wu Jie, and Huanqing’s Economic Commissioner Zhao Zhe, etc. 5 soldiers, split lanes and attacked by Kuo Yan. Zhang Jun personally led the army to supervise the battle, with Liu Xi as the frontline command.

Therefore, Zhang Jun led all his troops to unite Qu Duan, Wu Jie, Liu Xi, Liu Qi, Sun Wo, and Zhao Zhe who had just arrived from all over the country. A total of 200,000 troops claimed to have killed 400,000 from Xingyuan Mansion. Jingzhaofu Road, this time the defender is naturally Qu Rui's general Wu Jie.

Wu Jie was born in a big family in Sichuan and Shu, and he was brave and good at fighting. When he was under Quduan, he had repeatedly defeated the army under the Wanyanlou room of the Jinjun West Route Army. This time, the Jinbing general on Jingzhao Road was Wan Yanyu (Pu Jianu), and Zhang Jun originally wanted to leave Wu Jie on defense.

It's just that Zhang Jun later thought that this guy still had some good deeds in the war, if something happened to him by the time he was blocked by such a strong fighter, it would be safer. However, they are not allowed to participate in the siege without a last resort. If this guy takes credit for himself again, you will lose a lot!

The Jin Army and the Han Confederate Army in Chang'an, the capital of Jingzhaofu, were panicked. The two roads in the north, south, east and south of Hebei were defeated and lost ground. The golden soldiers at the lowest level, because they were the Han soldiers, felt guilty when they saw the countless flags of the Song Army in the distance.

Wan Yanyu (Pujianu) also didn't expect that the Song Army would come so fast, the Jiangzhou Army has not heard from him yet! The messenger who had just been sent out a few days ago is definitely still halfway there. It will take at least three or four months to wait for Wan Yanchang (lazy) to send reinforcements! Now the city has less than 40,000 troops. Facing the army of Song Jun Zhang Jun, who has more than 200,000 horses under the city, the chief general of the Jin army is also not lost in his heart.

But Zhang Jun doesn't care about these, he is eager to do his best. The army drove to the bottom of Taocheng, and he only rested under the city for one night. In the early morning of the next day, he did not conduct any test, and directly dispatched an army of 50,000 troops, divided into several groups, carrying a ladder, pushing the crashed car, and pressing against the Changan of Jingzhao Mansion!

The battle lasted from early morning to late afternoon. Under the desperate resistance of Jin Bing, the Song Army suffered heavy casualties, but it also made achievements. Although the Song Army had more than 7,000 casualties, the city wall was faltered, and even the city gate was cracked open. If it weren't blocked by the pure iron gate, the Song Army would have entered the city.

As soon as the war stopped, Wan Yanyu (Pujianu) hurriedly ordered the carpenters in the city to come to repair. Originally, he wanted to block the city gate directly, but later he also wanted to find a chance to lead his troops out of the city. After all, his soldiers were all elite cavalry. It is really impossible to let them defend the city.

After 7,000 soldiers were damaged and failed to capture the Jingzhaofu city, Chang'an, Master Zhang Jun's face became even darker. He directly charged a Sichuan Xiangjun general under Liu Xi who led the troops to attack the city on charges of unfavorable combat. His anger diminished slightly.

In the evening, the troops were withdrawn and returned to the camp. Zhang Jun stood on the observation deck for a day with his sore legs. He was ready to take a rest. At this time, Wu Jie's voice came from outside the door and said, "The last general, Wu Jie, has something to ask for to see your lord. "

Zhang Jun frowned and said, "Come in." Wu Jun pushed the door in, clasped her fist and said, "Master Zhang, I will have a suggestion to tell you at the end." Zhang Jun took a rough breath and said coldly: " The officer is tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"My lord, it's an urgent matter. Tomorrow will be a little late." Wu Jie was a little anxious. If the siege was arranged in detail today, at most 5,000 people would be lost, and so many military brothers could be killed or injured there.

Seeing his persistence, Zhang Jun had no choice but to say: "Okay, then you say it quickly." "My lord, the city of Chang'an, the capital of Jingzhao Mansion, is large. It is a lot more than 50,000 people to attack the city at a time. The enemy in the city has been killed for nothing. Our brother Renma. Do you think..."

"Okay, the siege of the city is my own plan, so you don't need to talk too much here!" Wu Jie was interrupted by Zhang Jun before he finished speaking. My hero, Zhang Junqin, has fought more battles than you have killed, and I need you to teach me here!

Wu Jie sighed. He originally wanted to persuade Zhang Jun to make the brothers less hurt, but it was counterproductive. Whether he listens to Zhang Jun or not, his responsibility has been fulfilled. Thinking of this, Wu Jie clasped his fist and said: "The lord rested earlier, and he will finally leave." Zhang Jun snorted coldly and did not speak. He was completely hated by Wu Jie.

"This Master Jun is too stupid, so many people are squeezed together to attack the city, it is no wonder that they are not smashed. Poor my Da Song Chuanshu disciples." Sitting on the grass platform he ordered to build, Wu Lin looked at the same siege technique as yesterday, and couldn't help feeling very much. On one side, Wu Jie nodded and said, "What the old man said is that 10,000 people are put in such a small place, and they can't move at all. Those who are stuck behind can only serve as targets for Jin Bing." "Brother, then you should talk about it. What to do?" Wu Lin asked with interest.

Wu Jie thought for a while and said, "Since Master Zhang is so anxious to take down the capital of Jingzhaofu Chang'an regardless of the cost, it is better to attack the four walls at the same time. In this way, even if thousands of soldiers are killed or injured, they can contain a large number of enemy troops in the city. At the same time, many golden soldiers will be buried. And this way, the golden people in the city will be overwhelmed. As long as you look at the opportunity, it will not be a problem to win the capital of Jingzhaofu." Wu Lin nodded in agreement, and said helplessly: "It's a pity you and me. The official position is low, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, but he can't reuse it!" After that, I was a little overwhelmed.

Regarding Zhang Jun's siege techniques, the generals who led the siege have a lot of complaints. Isn't this not treating Brother Chuanshu as a human being? What happened to the Sichuan-Shu local army, it was also raised by the mother's father, and if it was consumed like this, the 200,000 yuan would soon die and be clean.

Although he thought so in his heart, these generals did not dare to stab him. Zhang Jun was a big official, so who would dare not follow? Yesterday's decapitated brother general is a lesson for the past.

Just as a group of Sichuan and Shu generals sighed, Zhang Jun's murderous military order came. The generals Qu Duan, Liu Xi, Liu Qi, Sun Wo, and Zhao Zhe were anxious at the sight of the military order, and hurriedly summoned all the generals above the commander. As soon as the order was announced, the crowd couldn't help but scream, but thinking about Zhang Jun's cold method yesterday, he killed his generals when he said they were killed. This Master Jun is very powerful.

Everyone did not dare to delay too much, and immediately followed the pre-arranged agreement. Today, Liu Qi's men attacked the city. Liu Qi led his army back to the city. Liu Qi originally led some soldiers from the old part of Wang Yan's Eight-character Army. Since the Taihang Mountain was divided into two, most of the Eight-character Army stayed in the Taihang Mountain. Finally, they returned to the faithful king Zhao Zhen who had repeatedly won. The elite part followed Wang Yan and went south to join the then old handsome Zongze.

Since Wang Yan dismissed his office and left, Liu Qi later commanded the army. The current Wang Yan, who had gone to Zhao Gou in person and requested the Northern Expedition, was squeezed out by the central leaders and factions of the DPRK and was commanded by the camp and the bandits. Not yet reused by Zhao Gou. Therefore, the current eight-character army is commanded by Liu Qi himself. At this time, Liu Qi's soldiers and soldiers from the army and the ground in the original eight-character army fought bravely to get to the ladder.

Although there are nearly 40,000 horses in the city, relying on these 40,000 miscellaneous troops to defend the offense of tens of thousands of people, it was originally a bit difficult. Suddenly the Song army who had attacked the city became even more brave, and the golden soldiers on the top of the city were even more unbearable.

Seeing that someone finally rushed to the top of the city, Master Zhang Jun, who had been black for several days, couldn't help but show a faint smile. Great achievements are in sight! He also knew that among his armies, Liu Qi's army with the old Bazi army as the backbone, Wu Jie's army, and Li Yanxian were the most adept at fighting.

However, he didn't like Liu Qi and Wu Jun very much, but Zhang Jun couldn't use them. And Li Yanxian had even turned to the King of Letters, and he was even more secretly resentful. However, since he is far behind the trusting king Zhao Zhen, it is okay to send Han Feng to the left to mess around. If he really offends the trusting king Zhao Zhen, he might be accused by Zhao Zhen himself. At that time, the other party, the marshal of soldiers and horses, part-time prince, and the fierce man of Zhao Gou's brother, I am afraid he will not let him go.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jun has always been on guard against Zhao Zhen but never dared to compete with him for more territory. To put it in a bad way, relying on the identity of Prince Zhao Zhen, he came to him, and took a piece of the Huizong gift to him, and said it was a precious treasure that could kill the treacherous minister. When Zhao Zhen killed herself, wouldn't she be wronged? Therefore, although Zhang Jun loyally followed Zhao Gou to stand in line, he still did not dare to conflict with Xinwang.

The enemy attacked the head of the city, and the Jinjun general Wan Yanyu (Pujianu) who defended the city was naturally anxious. He didn't care too much, and immediately ordered the five thousand soldiers under the city to catch up with the city.

The sky and the ground were dark when the city was killed, but Zhang Jun under the city was full of smiles. Tens of thousands of people would have to work hard to get a word. He had many soldiers, and sooner or later he could defeat the Jin Bing and regain Yan Yan Lu. The first is Chang'an, the capital city of Jingzhao Fu.

Just as proud, suddenly the general next to him pointed to the east. Surprised: "My lord, look!" At a glance, Zhang Jun almost didn't fall off the observation deck, only to see an army under the banner of the Golden Army approaching here!

This man and horse is exactly the Golden Army defeated by King Xin's army, and the Golden Army man and horse who withdrew from Jiangzhou. Jin Junsheng was afraid of believing Wang Jun to chase them, so they dared not stop all the way, so it took them two days and two nights to rush from Jiangzhou to Jingzhaofu, Chang'an. I have to say that this is a very fast march! To talk about how this man was defeated when he fell to the ground, we have to go back and talk about the previous contest between Xin Wang Jun and Jin Jun.

After the letter king Zhao Zhen released Liu Qian, Liu Qian was moved back to the Jinbing Han army camp outside Jiangzhou City in the second half of the twelfth lunar month. Originally, his body was already well, and the distance he walked was not too far, but on the way back to Jiangzhou City, he experienced countless sufferings and hardships, causing the original recovered spirit and energy to quickly disappear.

Liu Yi understands that if he will raise more days, it will certainly not be the case. But the problem is that the superficially good faith king Zhao Zhen would not let him be such a comfortable general. The Song Dynasty’s letter king Zhao Zhen saved him for the purpose of sending him back to Liu Lin’s army camp.

It is the coldest time in winter, and the wind and snow are also heavy at this time. The blizzards along the way, even if Liu Qian is a healthy man, he can't bear it, not to mention that he was in bad health after he recovered from a serious illness. Now, it is even more ill. Fortunately, Liu Qian was determined. He gritted his teeth all the way, regardless of his horse's rest, and he went back to the Han army camp outside Jiangzhou city without stopping.

Several Jinjun Han soldiers spotted Liu Qian and recognized him. But as soon as Liu Qian saw her, she couldn't support her immediately and passed out. The soldiers took him to the military village at the moment.
