Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 155: The chaos of the Golden Soldier's defeat

Views:

Under the fierce attack, under the attack of blooming fireballs, ballistas, and arrows, the Jin army's brave and Jurchen stormtroopers, from the spectacular scene to the end, were very few killed.

Seeing the leading Golden Army Jurchen Thousand Commanders with arrows all over their bodies, they still hold high the Golden Army Pioneer Flag, which was shot or exploded into rags, and looked at those who fell to the ground. The Jurchen Golden Soldiers tumbling and struggling on the ground crawled forward step by step, leaving long bloodstains on the ground, and the generals of Xin Wang's army were shocked.

The more than 5,000 Jinjun Jurchen vanguards all fell on the way to the charge. The corpses were piled higher than people. Only a few wounded soldiers who staggered forward were still shouting in Jurchen language: "... kill. Ah... Kill..."

Seeing such an army, even the superior Xinwang army can't help but show respect. They asked themselves that they would not die so bravely. All the regular army of Xinwangjun have been educated by Xinwang Zhaozhen and will never die in vain!

Watching the battle in the distance, Zhang Xian murmured: "Jurchen's army is really brave!" Wang Shan beside him praised: "It's unparalleled! No wonder we defeated the Song army in the first place." Zhang Yong was silent. , His army is not so brave.

Under the resistance of the rain of arrows, the ballista, and the flower bomb firearms invented by Zhao Zhen, the five thousand pioneers of the Golden Army charged the army, and in the end only the last Jurchen warrior was left. He was covered with arrows and blood was dripping from his face. , A stray bullet from a blooming bullet exploded by a fire bomb penetrated his body. There was a big hole in his abdomen, and he could even see the yellow and white intestines. He held his stomach with one hand and moved forward in pain, and finally fell. Can't afford the land...

Yue Fei raised his hand to indicate, so the crossbow convoy, firearms battalion, and archer army stopped shooting, and there was no sound for a while.

Shiguduo, who was watching from a distance, looked at those ballistas and advanced firearms that were more powerful and terrifying than theirs, and felt bad in heart. Not only him, but by his side, the highest echelons of the Golden State Army, such as Ah She's retreat, Telmeng and Nie Er, were all distressed.

The five thousand Jurchen army is the vanguard of the four of them pieced together from their own army. Originally, they wanted the five thousand people to rush to open a bloody path, and then the army waved, and they could kill as many as they could. The Jin Army, who was once invincible in field battles, saw that King Xin's army occupied the land and surrounded them, but finally lost confidence in the field. The first reaction was to escape the encirclement.

However, seeing those slings and catapults in the distance, as well as the new-style ballistas of the Xinwang Army. Facing the advanced science and technology civilization of the King’s Army, the generals of the Jin Army showed confusion and confusion in their eyes. They couldn’t understand why those things that didn’t seem sharp and terrible at all could explode the most in an instant. Terrible power, destroyed his bravest and strongest fighter

At the beginning, the Liao State imitated the Song State firearms camp. Although it caused some trauma to the Jin army, it was still defeated by the brave and fearless Jin army. And the firearms of the Song Army were defeated by the fierce Golden Army before they exerted their power...

However, those firearms are a hundred or even hundreds of times more powerful and lethal than those new firearms that can cause soldiers to fall when they explode!

Shiguduo, A She evacuated, Telmeng, and Nie'er couldn't believe how the opposite Xinwang Jun possessed such a terrifying firearm. The current terrain is surrounded by mountains on both sides, hills and ravines on both sides, and there is no advantage of long-distance cavalry charge. How can this make them stand out from the encirclement

Shiguduo couldn't help regretting secretly at this time. In the battle, he led his army and shouldn't choose this dangerous place as a place to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. But in the fierce battle, he did not observe the terrain carefully. At this time, he discovered that, except for this relatively flat area, other places could not accommodate the stationing of more than 40,000 troops, because there were too many ravines and hills... Then...

Naxin Wang Jun had already calculated that he would choose this place as a temporary place to line up troops during the battle. Therefore, the enemy set an ambush here! Shi Gu Duo was secretly shocked when he thought that the enemy would be able to predict the prophet and guess everything, whether it was weapons or tactics, they had already failed before the war. Shi Guduo secretly guessed all this, secretly amazed, he was caught in the opponent's series of tricks.

At this time, Liu Lin, who had retired, could no longer take care of the golden soldiers who had been surrounded by the 50,000-thousand faithful king's army by taking advantage of the geographical advantage. With more than 10,000 cronies who had not surrendered and had no morale, he immediately retreated to the distant Jiangzhou City.

It's not that Liu Lin didn't want to rescue, he was really mad by Jin Jun's selfish behavior. If it were not for the Jin Jun to sell his army as cannon fodder, his army would definitely not be defeated like this, the general died in battle, and the whole army almost surrendered.

Moreover, even if Liu Lin rescued him, he could not be saved. Because his more than 10,000 people no longer have the slightest morale, they are afraid, facing the main force of the Believing King's army, which is encircling the Golden Army, with more numbers and more terrifying weapons. These Han troops, who are relatively poor in combat effectiveness, are useless even if they go up. I am afraid that the Wang Jun will kill them all in a face-to-face encounter. Therefore, Liu Lin ignored the encircled Jin army and the Han army who had surrendered completely. He fled to Jiangzhou City with more than 10,000 people.

"The whole army rushed to the mountain to the south and gave up all the horses!" At this time, Stone Guduo made the most difficult decision. The mountains on the south side cannot ride on horses, so they can only climb up on foot. After all, there are only more than 50,000 people in the Xinwang Army, and the 40,000 people surrounded by them rely on geographical advantages. However, the Xinwang Army set up heavy troops on both sides of the plain, but not many people were sent on the mountains on the other two sides.

"No! There are few enemies on the mountain, but they are condescending, and one man is in control. Moreover, if we give up our horses, we will be chased by the king's army. If that's the case, we won't be able to escape many people!" Shot Evacuation said in disagreement.

"Then what to do? Surrender? Or all charge to death? Or starve to death here? The battlefield is very close, our luggage was not much, and now we have lost the squadron that remained in the Han army. There is no food or grass, even if we kill horses and eat, we can last for a few days? There are no reinforcements around us. All the troops in Hedong are here! We can only escape by climbing the mountain and using the complicated terrain on foot to escape. Jiangzhou City, we still have a guarded city to rely on, waiting for reinforcements."

This method is actually not good, but no matter how you say it, it is the most helpless and most method. Nie'er, who wanted to survive, agreed first, and Telman also agreed after weighing the pros and cons. When Ah She retreated, seeing the agreement of the three people, he had no other choice but to agree.

More than 30,000 remnants of the Golden Army began to abandon their horses. The heavy armor of the Golden Army also gave up the thick iron armor and retreated to the distant mountains.

Shiguduo didn't guess wrong. On the mountain, there were only a few hundred soldiers who believed in the king to guard. Although the mountains are steep, tens of thousands of people rushed forward on the long front. Although these hundreds of people could kill a large number of golden troops with stones and rolling logs, they still couldn't stop the enemy's climbing a hundred times.

At this time, Yue Fei led his army to kill, and the firearms and ballista battalions also rushed up.

Nie Er first smashed the top of the mountain under the protection of the guards, and fled down the hillside behind the mountain. Shiguduo also climbed up with the support of the Ashe evacuation and the support of the guards of Telmeng and has been paid by the gold soldiers. The top of the mountain was captured at the cost of thousands of people.

In the end, Jinbing escaped with more than 20,000 people, and there were more than 15,000 who surrendered before they had time to escape, and more than 7,000 people died in the battle.

Now, Liu Lin's Han army is over, the Han army has fallen, and the Jin army has lost more than half.

In the hills and gully from Jiangzhou to Fenshui in the early spring, a large number of troops rushed towards Jiangzhou City along avenues, mountain roads, hills, and forest paths, through forests and villages, across valleys and highlands. The army that hurried to Jiangzhou City included the defeated soldiers of the Jin Bing Han and Jin Army, as well as the vanguard of the King's Army.

It is said that the Golden State coalition forces have been defeated, and the Golden Army reinforcements located in Jishan and Gengzhou are now gathering in Jiangzhou City. There are also the various troops that have just been defeated and defeated by the King’s Army in the Great War, and there are also the Jin Army troops that retreat from the encirclement.

The remaining Jin Soldiers of the Shiguduo Tribe and the various armies of Liu Lin's Han Army hurriedly retreated to Jiangzhou City. The Golden Army was fighting as they walked. The defenders of the Golden Army kept fighting with the front army of the King Xin's army to cover the large forces, trying not to be preempted by the King Xin's army and not let the front army of the King Xin's preemptively reach under the wall of Jiangzhou City.

At this time, Xinwang's army was gathering hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the main force was temporarily unable to press the whole army. Therefore, only Di Lei led a guard of the Qinglong Army to press down. He faced Shiguduo, A She evacuated, and the guards personally commanded by Telmen. But Nie Er ran back to Jiangzhou City long ago. Although Nie Er returned to Jiangzhou City for fear of death, she also prepared a series of city defenses.

This was a head-to-head battle. Di Lei took his large cavalry units as the forerunner, followed by the elite infantry soldiers of the Chinese Army Zhang Yongzheng who were running to keep up. The guide team composed of the Jinjun soldiers was the Xin Wangjun. open circuit. With the choice between death and survival, most people still have to choose to live.

The cavalry of the King Xin's Army interspersed and killed the retreating Golden Army troops. Di Lei finally arrived under the wall of Jiangzhou City at dusk.

Under the afterglow of the golden sun in the evening, you can see from a distance the towering white city with golden brilliance. On the towering city wall, countless golden soldiers stand like countless trees in the dense forest. Take a look from a distance. Not marginal.

Seeing the city of Jinjun Hedong's base camp, Di Lei's cavalry team burst out with earth-shattering cheers: "Protect the home and defend the country! Regain Hedong! Drive out the golden soldiers! Long live the King of Letters! Long live the King of Letters!"

In front of Di Lei's garrison, like the soldiers, he was killed in front of the base camp city of the Golden Soldiers in Hedong, making his heart surging with excitement.

Thinking of conquering this city, the entire Hedong area will not be heavily guarded by the Golden Army. It means that the land of Hedong will be fully liberated soon. Di Lei and the generals of the Azure Dragon Army were full of enthusiasm, and shouted: "Kill the Golden Dog... Kill the Golden Dog..." Thousands of soldiers followed and howled: "Kill the Golden Dog... Kill the Golden Dog...!"

Then came the Brave Army, the Beiwei Army, the White Tiger Army, the Suzaku Army, the Xuanwu Army... and so on. Army after another joined the Howl. In the end, tens of thousands of believers Wang Jun shouted in unison. Miles of soldiers and horses resounded across the sky, shouting a huge whistling sound. The violent cries of tens of thousands of people shook the air and integrated a terrible storm. The tsunami-like momentum entered the city through the thick walls.

This sound gave hope to the countless ruined Han women in the city, joy to the few people, severe warning to those traitors who took refuge in the Jin army, and a powerful shock to the Jin army. His Royal Highness of Song Dynasty has come under the command of the army. Any enemy who stubbornly resists has only a dead end.

The three commanders of the Beiwei Army, Yue Zhen, Xu Qing, and Yang Jin, rushed to the commander Zhang Xian excitedly. Xu Qing said: "General Zhang commanded, now the Jin Army’s last heavily armed city on Hedong Road has been surrounded by us. Can anyone stop our army?"

Zhang Xian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said to the three of them: "You are right, but we still can't take it lightly." As he said, he showed a meaningful smile.

At night, after the war, people were depressed, and the dirt roads in the small town on Jingzhao Road were pitted and left unattended. The dark town was empty, and the wind blew the wooden door panels and made a "booming" sound. I don't know which door was loosened by the wind.

A small town in the middle of the night on Juan Road, the surrounding area is desolate and silent. Only at the entrance of the only inn in town were lit lanterns swaying in the wind.

There was a loud sound of horse hooves in the night. In this dark night, a group of people on the road came to the town. The knights led the horse under the eaves and pushed open the door of the inn.

In sharp contrast with the desolation outside, many people sat hazily in the lobby of the inn. There was a burning stove against the wall. The flames leaped, illuminating the warmth in the lobby, smelling of poor quality wine and smoky stir-fry. The smell of meat stir-fry, the smell of sweat, and the hot breath of the house, made everyone on the road in the cold wind feel a burst of warmth.

The room was shrouded in the hum of conversations all over the room. When a dozen strangers in black costumes pushed in, the conversation disappeared. The people on each table watched the group of newcomers vigilantly. people.

The leader of the team wears a big hat, which makes it difficult to see the long image. You can only tell from the smooth chin that this person is young. The leader of the team swept the people in the lobby, and in the dark shadows, only his eyes were piercingly bright.

When he came into contact with his lightning-struck eyes, most people avoided it unconsciously. Soon everyone's voice rang again, but the voice was already much lower.

The shop Xiaoer, who has a yellowish face and obvious malnutrition, hurriedly nodded and greeted with a smile on his waist: "The distinguished guest is here! Please come inside."

One of the knights walked up to the counter and said, "Treasurer, how many rooms do you have here? We are all inclusive."

Although he is a bit fatter than the shop, but the shop owner who still looks awkward and looks thin, said with an embarrassed expression: "This guest officer, there are guest rooms, but someone has already moved in first. The guest officer, you always come and go. Guest, we are an old store of integrity. In this windy night and dark weather, we can't and dare to drive people out."

Several people glanced at each other, and the leader of the knight said: "Everyone lives in this mess, and the shop is not easy. The shopkeeper, if there are a few vacancies, we will give us a few rooms. Prepare the food, and we want the fattest. The meat! The best wine! Give us all. This is a fixed amount." After that, he threw a silver tael worth about three dollars.

"Hao Le! Wait a minute, guest officer! Xiao Er! Quickly take these guest officers to the table by the corner stove!" See Yinzi

The cabinet said with a smile. The knights all sat at 100 million tables with Xiao Er, ordered a few pots of wine, and leaned against the fireplace to rest and eat.

The leader of this group was eating, but they kept looking around, carefully looking at the people in the store.

The others are merchants or local rich men with two money, and two drunk drunks, nothing special. What caught his attention was that near the door, on the six tables where the four tables were combined, a group of rough men gathered around for a drink. The volume of conversation was high, punches and laughter shook the roof.

The big guys bulged out, and the leader couldn't help guessing their identities secretly. Are they robbers, bandits? Or is it the Jinjun Han soldiers? "

A villager who had the money to drink and asked a trader: "Brother, you came from the east this time, what news have you heard? I heard that the soldiers of the King's Army have defeated the Jin Army. Is it true? what?"

Suddenly, the voices were lowered, and people listened with their ears sideways, with concerned eyes cast from all directions.

Seeing such importance, the businessman suddenly said: "Brother, I know this news, brother. But you also know that in this messy time, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! After all, people's hearts are separated. Belly, what if someone from the Kingdom of Jin is here and you catch me?"

"Oh!" The voices of the villagers were full of disappointment and frustration, and the businessman's words made everyone itch.

Since the fall, the news of the Guan Yu Yi army and the Song army has been cut off by the Jin army. The people in the occupied area, they most want to hear the news of the battlefield, are anxious like the desire for clear springs in the desert.

Even the shopkeeper at the counter couldn’t sit still. He brought a jug of wine to the table and said, “This boss, this is a little bit of our store’s heart, to moisturize your throat. Just say boldly, the Jinjun soldiers stationed in the town, I They all recognize, believe that the king is coming, they all ran away, we have no gold spies here! If you have any news, you can rest assured to tell everyone about it! The gold has caused everyone a miserable misfortune, and no one will go. Jin Bing whispered over there!"

There was an uproar from the tables on all sides: "Yes, yes! The store owner is right, this owner, you can tell everyone about it!"
