Jin Jun's face turned pale, and he replied, "My lord, I can't do anything! General Nie'er... General Nie'er is dead."
"What are you talking about?" Shiguduo heard it, like five thunders, "Nie'er... Nie'er is dead?" The weather in spring began to warm up, but Shiguduo's heart was so cold when he heard Tanma's words. It feels frozen, and my mind is blank.
Shi Guduo immediately asked: "How did Nie'er die? He was killed by the King of Letters Army? Where is my Hedong Army? Meng Ertai, A She evacuated, and Liu Lin and the others?"
"They were overtaken by the Xinwang Army. The surviving Hedong Army broke out and told us that there were many changes in the last two nights. Nie Er brought the army and met the leader of the Xinwang Army named Beast, and the two armies fought. Then, Another cavalry of the Believe King’s Army came up, and the commander on the opposite side used double hammers, which was extremely powerful. In the chaos of the fighting, General Nie Er and General Meng Ertai were killed on the spot, A She evacuated and Liu Lin The general fled. The Hedong Army was either killed or surrendered. The Hedong Army was gone."
"Ah! More than ten thousand people, just like that? My family is gone! My Hedong Army!" Shi Gu Duo suddenly covered his face in pain.
Everyone in Jin Jun was stunned, Shi Guduo's face was gloomy and painful. Without soldiers, he would have nothing in the future.
He sat on the spot, looking up at the sky, his new subordinates of Jingzhao Road Jinbing were all looking at him eagerly. At this time, the General Shiguduo from Hedong had become their last hope. They are all expecting Shiguduo to come up with a way to lead them out of this predicament. No one dared to speak out, they were afraid to interrupt General Shiguduo's thinking.
They didn't know, at this moment, Shi Guduo didn't think about anything, just wanted to die. The few elite troops left in the entire northwest were annihilated one by one, even if they were as strong as bones, they collapsed. He has given up to continue resisting fate.
"No way, this is God's will to destroy me, so what can I do to stop it? How mysterious! The huge Liao empire, which once flourished and covered a vast land, was easily overthrown by their rising Jurchen. And now, They are being defeated by the rising King of Letters. If they had known the result, they would have died in Hedong."
When Shi Guduo made his final determination, there were not many waves in his heart. Glancing at the people around him, he touched the sword at his waist and drew the scimitar.
Staring at the cold light on the blade, Shi Guduo smiled bitterly, and was about to wipe his neck. At this moment, several generals of the Golden Army saw that something was wrong, and they suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Shiguduo's hand one by one, and shouted in a low voice, "Sir, no!"
Shiguduo finally let go of suicidal thoughts under the persuasion of his subordinates, thinking that he knew that if he died, what would happen to the five thousand people who followed him? Therefore, he led these soldiers to fight and retreat. When they retreated to the city of Yan'an, they joined the retreating A-she evacuation and Liu Lin, and they had only 6,000 soldiers left.
Shiguduo, who was expecting to get supplies and reinforcements in Yan'an, was hit hard again. After learning of the disastrous defeat in the battle and the death of Wanyan Jammu and Wanyanyu (Pujianu), the Jinjun garrison guarding Yan'an collapsed. They burned the city that the people had already escaped from, and fled back to the northern country with the looted spoils.
Because the genuine gold army has been mobilized to attack the Xinwang army, the city of Yan'an is full of the Jin army and the Han army. These bullying and fearful Han soldiers did not have much loyalty, so they fled without fighting, leaving behind only a fire and the bodies of a few Jurchen generals and officials, and went away like a cloud. As a result, they appeared in front of Shiguduo, A She evacuated and Liu Lin. All that is left is a full range of broken walls. In the ruined city of Yan'an, Shiguduo couldn't find even a grain of rice.
At this time, the army of Wanyan Zongfu, the prince of the Kingdom of Kings and the right deputy marshal, was still in Xijing, and the army of Wanyan Zongbi, who was full of treasures and went northward, encountered resistance from Han Shizhong and other Song generals, and was unable to get out for a while.
Now, only Lou Bao, who is on Juan Road, is advancing towards Yan'an. He wants to rescue Shiguduo, Liu Lin and the rest of the defeated soldiers.
Wherever Xin Wang Jun went, the people came to welcome them, and all the rebels or young men came to vote. At this moment, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, he is not alone, he is a powerful nation that resists aggression and is determined to wash away the will of hatred and shame. Incarnation!
In Zhang Jun's military account, the letter king Zhao Zhen came to visit Zhang Jun. On this informal occasion, Zhang Jun and Xinwang Zhaozhen met for the first time.
Zhang Jun heard Zhao Zhen suddenly coming in the tent, and hurriedly ran and lay down on the bed. At this moment, Zhao Zhen's guards pushed away Zhang Jun's attempt to stop the guards or forced them away with a knife. Zhao Zhen walked in imposingly, and saw Zhang Jun pretending to be dying, and said, "Master Zhang has worked hard for the country and the people."
Zhang Jun sat up with the help of the waiter, and said, "The prince Chitose praises so much, and the Weichen can't afford it. The prince's martial arts, with such a small army, defeated the golden army, it is really admirable. Wang Ye's face Fighting against the Golden Army repeatedly, and attacking the city and plundering the land, what's the trick?"
"There is no strategy, but it's just an attack on the city by force, and the next move." Zhao Zhen showed a sly smile, took a long breath, and immediately said quickly with a breath: "However, he is dying of self-reliance on the brave. In the face of the powerful golden army, we must unite and fight the enemy together. I need to concentrate our forces against the gold. Therefore, I am going to select 50,000 people and several generals from your troops. Okay, for the sake of the overall situation. You can agree to me when you come. Okay, that’s it, you don’t have to give me away!” After he finished hurriedly, Zhang Jun hadn’t reacted to Zhao Zhen’s machine-gun-like speech. Get up and leave.
"No... Lord... No..." Zhang Jun said hurriedly. His army won't come back after giving it to Zhao Zhen. Where did he see such a rush to speak, and some Zhang Junyu who couldn't react to it came up no matter what.
Zhao Zhen turned around and drew the saber straight out. Zhao Zhen ironically said, "Hmm! What? You still want to violate my king's life? You are defeated and I haven't killed you yet. It seems that you are I really don't want to live anymore, I want to know the sharpness of the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor." Looking at Zhao Zhen's angry face, Zhang Jun shrank his neck in fright.
Zhang Jun said immediately: "The prince's order will be executed immediately by the minister, and now he will send someone to pass the order." Zhao Zhen knew that if Zhang Jun sent someone, he would take the strong and strong he likes and leave him a bunch of old and weak. .
Therefore, Zhao Zhen said: "You don't have to be polite, give me the soldier talisman, and I will go by myself!" Zhang Jun heard this, and said hurriedly: "This... Is it a bit too late... The prince... This..." Zhao Zhen immediately swung his sword and stood at Zhang. Jun's neck. "Ah! Okay, this is a soldier talisman"
Staring at the opponent for a while, looking at the frizzy Zhang Jun, Zhao Zhencai's frowning eyebrows were full of anger, and then nodded at him, grabbed the jade lion soldier charm in Zhang Jun's hand, turned his head and left.
"Where is the prince? It's just a bandit plus a gangster plus a butcher!" Zhang Jun roared when the guard reported that Wang Zhao Zhen had gone far.
Zhao Zhen selected two generals, Wu Jie and Liu Qi, and also selected 50,000 troops from the hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi and Sichuan troops. Among them, eight or nine thousand were elite soldiers of the eight-character army. The army that Zhao Zhen wanted but didn't get is now his army.
In April, when Zhao Zhen's 200,000 army arrived 50 miles outside Yan'an, the cavalry unit of the Golden Dragon Army led by the forward beast suddenly ambushed the remnant of Agudo and the supporting Golden Army of the Loubao Department. The cavalry led by the fierce beast slammed the enemy force with wind and fire, cutting straight through the enemy formation. Lou Bao and Shi Guduo rushed to fight, and the soldiers and horses suffered great losses. Afterwards, the troops led by Gao Pang also arrived and launched a fierce attack on the Lou Baojin Army from the rear.
The establishment of the two troops is 10,000 people, but with the later expansion of the army, there are more than 20,000 people. And Lou Bao's army only had less than 20,000 horses, and most of them were descendants from the original Liao State. Their combat effectiveness was not strong. With the addition of 5,000 unscrupulous soldiers, it was even more vulnerable. This time, the Jin army was immediately defeated by the two armies. The golden soldiers disintegrated, and the soldiers rushed to escape.
After Shiguduo and A She evacuated both broke, A She was stabbed to death by Gao Pang when she evacuated, and Shiguduo was rescued by his guards after being injured by a fierce beast. Lou Bao retreated to Xijing with the defeated army, but the cavalry that was quickly killed and the local garrison of the Xinwang Army on Hedong Road flew to Xijing and Zongfu, who was annihilated by most of the army .
The news of the great victory came, and the letter Wang Jun was full of joy. This is a great victory that shows that the strongest soldiers and horses of the Jin Army in Shaanxi were destroyed. It means that Kuo Yan Lu will return to the embrace of Song Dynasty.
Before the war, many people worried that in the face of Shaanxi’s complex geography and harsh natural conditions, would the army of the Xinwang Army be able to exert its combat effectiveness? And once again defeating the Jin Army in a large-scale field battle, this wiped out all the doubts and worries of all before the war, and the morale of the Xin Wang Jun's military was unprecedentedly high.
The people helped to make the letter king's army more powerful, and the letter king yelled: "We need manpower to deliver food to the army! Take care of the food and give the money!" The people immediately ran out of the last person in their own family. . Xin Wangjun said: "We want wood to build cars!" So the people cut down trees to build cars one after another, and almost took down their roof beams and sent them to Xin Wangjun.
Seeing this situation, everyone in Xin Wang Jun was greatly encouraged. Marching all the way, believe that all the soldiers of the king's army consciously respect the military discipline of not disturbing the people and giving money from the people.
Rarely, only seven people were beheaded for robbing people’s property or molesting women along the way. In the past, dozens or hundreds of people were beheaded. It is conceivable that the whole mind of the army and the people has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers who believe in the king.
As we marched all the way, the roads in Gaoyan Road were flatter and wider than those in plain areas. Most of them were bumpy and ravine mountain roads, which became muddy when it rained. Because the army of Believe in the king brought a lot of luggage, the march was very difficult. The daily advancement speed is only more than seventy miles.
Soon after entering the endless loess Gobi, the suffocating silence is insignificant, and the wind and sand blows on the face, making the march extremely difficult.
On this day, two shepherds appeared in front of them, an old man and a young man. When they saw the large army, they immediately prostrated and kowtow, their foreheads stuck to the ground and dared not raise them.
Zhao Zhen also found out and stopped. The guard said to the creeping old man: "Look up! The prince wants to ask you something!"
The old man raised his head, Zhao Zhen saw an old, haggard and panic face, and the wrinkles on his face were full of mud and dirt. He raised his hands, opened his black and thin fingers like branches, and said: "Military master... Poor my grandfather and grandson, leaving me a ewe, one ewe is enough! With a ewe, My grandson and I can live, don’t let me starve to death, do well, military master."
The old man’s words made Zhao Zhen sad. After the Song and Jin wars, the golden soldiers were predatory, and those Song soldiers were not much better. The common people were often robbed by the golden soldiers and then by the Song army, which was miserable. This is why the people frantically support not grabbing a grain of food and not disturbing the people and trusting the king's army.
"Let's go!" When he left, Zhao Zhen dropped two grains of grain and a consistent amount of money to the old man. The old man was surprised that his eyes protruded from his eye sockets.
The old man looked straight at Zhao Zhen's eyes flashing, as if something incredible had happened. For the first time in their lives, the troops in the transit area not only did not plunder, but also gave them alms.
"Military Lord, you... You give me money?" Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "The place where you are standing is the land protected by my King Song Xin. In the future, with the protection of our army, you don't have to worry anymore. Someone dared to grab your things!" After that, Zhao Zhen rode away.
"Our army? Protect our army? Relieve our army without robbing us?" the old man said to himself.
"Junye, who was the young general just now?" the old man asked a soldier who believed in the king's army. The soldier said, "Where is the surname Wang? That's our prince, your Royal Highness!"
"Wang... Lord! Believe in the king! Believe in the king's army! Good man! Good king! Good army!" The old man's eyes were full of moist.
That night, the army camped on an open ground backed by the mountains. It was late at night, just as the army was resting. Suddenly, there was a sound of arrows outside, followed by another sound of arrows, and Zhao Zhen immediately jumped up.
As soon as Zhao Zhen got dressed, Wang Jin rushed in from the outside and shouted, "Master, there was a sneak attack. Do not go out before you stay in the tent. I will let the guards protect the Chinese army first.
Soon, there were intensive footsteps and the sharp clanging sound of iron collisions. Under the reflection of the campfire, Xinwang Jun, holding a bow and arrow, frequently shot arrows at the golden soldiers rushing in the distance to attack the army. Countless rain of arrows flew out, and the screams of the Golden Army's sneak attack on the army were endless.
In the distance, there were not many sneak attack troops of the Jin Army, only about five or six thousand, and they were quickly repelled. At this time, the barracks gate opened wide, and an army of cavalry galloped out, chasing after the enemy who escaped without a sneak attack.
The curtain of Zhao Zhenshuai's tent was opened, and Yue Fei and Wang Gui walked in. Wang Gui reported: "Master, we were attacked by the Golden Army."
"How is the situation?" "Dozens of sentinels died in battle. The total number of enemies was about six. We killed about five or six hundred people, and then fled north. Zhao Xiaodao, Di Lei, Beast and Gao Pangdong I took five cavalry soldiers to search and pursue them, and they would surely be defeated and annihilated."
The night wind blows, and the Qinshan Mountains in the distance are looming in the night. The moon showed its face behind the clouds, and it was so cold that it was so pale that the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like white snow. At this time, more than five thousand golden soldiers hurriedly mounted their horses and prepared to retreat. Just behind the Golden Soldier, the sound of hoofs and the neighing of horses came.
"I Di Lei has come to kill you thieves! Children, kill with me." With a shout, the Golden Army sneak attack troops were immediately attacked by a cavalry. The two armies immediately fought each other.
Soon, there was another loud shout: "A certain Yang Fan is coming, and the enemy will leave." Another cavalry of the King's Army came to kill.
Seeing that the Golden Soldier could no longer resist, and two more faithful king's cavalry rushed from east to west, the Golden Army immediately collapsed. The Jin army scattered and fled, but most of them were beheaded or surrendered by the Wang Jun.
After receiving the news that the elite troops he sent out for 6,000 sneak attacks, the entire army was wiped out, Wanyan Zongfu realized that his army was not an opponent of the 200,000 Xinwang army, he immediately reported back to the Emperor Jin Guo and asked for another peace talks with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. . In addition, solid defense lines have been established in Wuzhou, Shuozhou, Weizhou and the surrounding areas. Faced with the official strategy of the Xinwang Army to invade the land of the Kingdom of Jin, they have adopted a solid defense strategy against their own defense lines.
The King Xin Army occupied a large area at once, and couldn't completely digest it for a while. After Zhao Zhen led the army to take down some checkpoint towns, he deployed the army to the border area. Instead of continuing the offensive, he started to manage the new occupied area.
Not only the occupied areas, but also Qingyuan Road, Xiqin Road, and Lixing Road, Zhao Zhen directly intervened in the areas to start reforms in accordance with their own occupied areas. Because of his powerful military power, Zhang Jun hid in fear and returned to Jiangnan, while a large number of local officials were forcibly changed. There are also Tongchuanfu Road, Chengdufu Road, and the whole of Sichuan have gradually entered Zhao Zhen's grasp.
As Zhao Zhen seized power extremely fast, Zhao Gou had no time to look around. In addition, Zhao Zhen's army is the Sichuan-Shanxi Army, and with the support of a group of high-ranking families in Sichuan where he has business contacts, Zhao Zhen quickly grasped the power of the entire Sichuan region in a short period of more than two months.
At this time, Zhao Zhen received a message that the Emperor Jin Guo secretly sent the ashes of his mother, noble concubine Liu, to Jiangnan. The first is to express that he can agree to send Zhao Gou's biological mother Wei Chong back to Jiangnan and show Zhao Gou's good, so that Zhao Gou will order Han Shizhong and others to give up chasing Wanyan Zongbi. The second is to let the letter king Zhao Zhen go south anyway, to see his biological mother, let Zhao Gou fight with Zhao Zhen and kill two birds with one stone.
Jin Guo's strategy was successful. After Zhao Zhen heard the news, he was planning to set the opportunity to go south for the next time. This time, his thoughts about going south were deeper.
This time, Zhao Zhen streamlined the training of the army and expanded Yue Fei's army to one hundred thousand. And after reorganizing his own Guards and Guards into one army, he formed a new Imperial Guard with a strength of 100,000. Wang Jin is the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Wang Gui is the deputy.
