Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 27: Converge with the remaining eight-character army

Views:

At this time, the golden soldiers in the city were also stupid, but all the golden soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't see the bloody massacre. It seemed that the Song Dynasty King of Letters was not as bloodthirsty as in the legend. It's not like those Han volunteers in the past who killed the golden soldiers and captives when they caught them. Otherwise, those Fanren knights would not work for him.

Then they began to worry about themselves. The Xi Ren outside the city has survived, but King Xin is about to attack the city. It seems that people have already hated Wang Xiaoqian, the Xiren Wang Xiaoqian who they could not save. Once the angry Xi Ren acts as a striker and starts to attack the city, the heads of those of us are hard to protect.

At this time, Zhao Zhen started to attack the city with Xi Ren as a forward. At this time, Wang Xiaoqian of Xiren certainly did not dare to let the Jinjun Xiren in the city meet the enemy. All Xi people are a family. If Xi Jun in the city didn't work hard and put these rebellious people in, it would be all over.

Therefore, Xiao Qian transferred all the army of two thousand Han, Bohai, Khitan and Jurchen people to the South Gate and East Gate where the rebels gathered, and Xi Jun to the North Gate and West Gate. Judging from the deployment of the Xinwangyi army, Beicheng has the most rebels and is the main direction of attack. It is completely correct to use the Jin army composed of Han, Bohai, Khitan and Jurchens who are not worried about rebellion to defend against the enemy.

In the entire Golden Soldier, there are actually not many real Jurchens or straight women. There are not many people in the entire Jurchen tribe. When the Jurchens had the largest number of troops at the beginning, there were only 30,000 to 20,000. Now the total number of gold soldiers, including the city defense forces of various places, adds up to nearly a million, and the Jurchens among them are really very few.

Otherwise, if there are many Jurchens in the Jin Army. After Wanyan Wenshuai's death, it was impossible for Xiao Qian to use his highest position to control Pingding City.

Xiao Qian mainly set up defenses at the South Gate and East Gate. It's a pity that Zhao Zhen is good at using virtual, virtual and real strategies, and he is destined to be fooled again.

The main attack direction of the Xin Wang Yi army is actually the most unlikely North City. Zhao Zhen secretly buried all the main forces in a forest outside the North City Gate.

In the woods, tens of thousands of pawns from the Majia Army, Shenshan Army, Fenglei Army, Mad Leopard Army, and Black Dragon Army were all placed here. After a battle with Xi Ren Jinbing Fushan and a battle with Wanyan Wenshuai. All army generals were beaten miserably, even the injured, and the army was reduced by at least about 20%. Although it was temporarily supplemented with prisoners, the combat effectiveness was obviously not good. However, I can't take care of a lot at this moment. Time is running out. Regardless of whether I can fight or not, I will go ahead and talk about it first.

At this time, Ma Zheng personally directed Beicheng's attack. It was getting dark and the attack began. Tens of thousands of people immediately moved siege tools such as catapults, siege carts, and ladders, and instantly smashed out of the woods while attacking the city walls.

There were less than three thousand Xiren Jinjun defending the north gate of Pingding City. In fact, it was not more than enough to deal with the siege of ten thousand rebels. But the problem is that they were afraid of being beaten by the rebels. How luck would it take to escape from Fushan? Xi Ren Jinbing escaped from ten without saving one, and finally escaped to Pingding. As a result, the Rebels came immediately.

They were about to be hit again. First, the supportive army of Wanyan, gentle and handsome, tens of thousands of soldiers was wiped out, and then over 17,000 of the captured Xi Jun were abandoned by his own King Xi.

Among the captives, many people have their own relatives and brothers, and this blow is too great. At this time, Xi Ren didn't have a trace of morale, he just wanted to save his life and escape.

At this time, under the curtain of night, the Xi people saw the rebels attack them with all their strength, and there were more troops rushing out in the mountains and forests outside the city, and they collapsed immediately.

Xi Jun fled immediately. They immediately fled to Xicheng, and then ran out of Xicheng to the west in the direction of Shouyang. If they ran slowly, the road might be blocked by the rebels.

The Xi Jun who was stationed in the North City fled, seeing the Rebels rushed directly into the unguarded North City Gate. Immediately afterwards, the Xi Ren Jin Jun at the West City Gate and the Xi Ren Jin Jun at the North City Gate who fled together opened the door and ran to the west in the direction of Shouyang.

Jin Jun’s Xi Ren army collapsed and all ran away. What city is Xiao Qian still defending? Facing countless rushing troops from Xin Wang Yijun. He will run after him, his head is the most important thing compared to face, high-ranking officials, and nation-building. If Xiao Qian was not afraid of death, he would have been martyred for the Liao Kingdom at the beginning, so why did he surrender to the Jinren

As the north gate was broken by the rebels, the east and south gates were opened, and Wang Jin led the dragon and wolf cavalry into the city.

The battle was over almost instantaneously, and in less than half an hour, the banner of the King of Letters of the King of Letters was raised in the city.

Zhao Zhen looked at the King of Letters banner dancing wildly in the wind, and was silly for a long time. He didn't believe it, his army captured Pingding City, the capital of Pingding Prefecture, within half an hour.

Everything is incredible. Poor myself, in order to find a way to attack Fushan for the past two days, he fought to the death with the main force of Jin Bing. I have spent countless efforts. As a result, in less than two days, not only did he take down Fushan, but also captured Pingding City.

With Pingding City and Fushan, plus more than 20,000 soldiers surrendered, Zhao Zhen has the confidence to resist 50,000 soldiers, and all the problems that plagued him have been solved.

Seeing the victory, the cheering voices of countless rebels rose to the sky. At the instigation of some deliberate generals, many rebels shouted "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

The rebels and the Chinese people who settled the city were all boiled, the rebels boiled, hundreds of thousands of people cheered and shouted hoarse. The Pingding City occupied by the Jin people was taken back by the Song people, and everyone vented the excitement and joy in their hearts with the craziest roar.

The fifty thousand golden soldiers led by Wanyan Tatlan retreated. Under the joint persuasion of Pu Jianu and Xiao Qian, who fled to his camp, Wan Yan Tiao retreated to Shouyang lazily, and confronted Xin Wang Yijun with eye-catching eyes.

Both Pu Jianu and Xiao Qian knew that Zhao Zhen, the letter king of the Song Dynasty, was not easy. His winning streak didn't come from luck, but he used clever tricks to defeat them by taking advantage of the right time and place and various factors. They also began to attach importance to this king of faith who defeated them.

The fifty thousand golden soldiers led by Wan Yan Tatlan was almost the strongest force in the rear of the Kingdom of Jin. If there was a mistake, there would be problems in the rear of the land occupied by the Kingdom of Jin. Now the main force of the Jin soldiers is gathering on the southern line to fight the Song Army, and there is no time to go north to deal with the Xin Wang Yijun.

Therefore, the fifty thousand golden soldiers led by Wanyan Tatlan could only guard against the Xinwangyi Army in Shouyang to avoid greater losses. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault. The main reason was that Pu Jianu and Xiao Qian were both timid and afraid.

At this time, in the account of the commander-in-chief who believed in Wang Yijun, Zhao Zhen kept running in and out to deal with all kinds of rebel affairs. At this time, a messenger called out: "Commander in command! People from the Eight-character Army are here."

Hearing his tiger, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and quickly asked: "Where? Where are the two generals, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong?"

"General Gao just sent the news. He encountered the Bazi Army's vanguard camp thirty miles east of Pingding City, and saw the Bazi Army general Xiao Guan Yu. Two generals Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong were leading the main force of the Bazi Army and came afterwards. ."

Zhao Zhen was very happy. Although Wang Yan gave up leading the elite to join him, he threw one hundred thousand rebels and the people to himself. In fact, Wang Yan's approach allowed Zhao Zhen to gain a large population and source of troops.

Originally, Zhao Zhen wanted to escape the danger and join Wang Yan. Then it developed and expanded in the Taihang Mountains, and established base areas behind enemy lines in the area occupied by Jinbing. But Wang Yan was still the same as in history. He ignored the king and went south to Tokyo with 10,000 elites.

Although Zhao Zhen took the faith and Wang Yijun's own strength, he successfully defeated the chasing and intercepting golden soldiers. What Zhao Zhen needs most now is soldiers and food. As long as there are people, food can be grown, and as long as there are people, there is a source of troops.

Who is there? Apart from Zhao Zhen in the north, only the strong men and the people of the Eight-character Army have hundreds of thousands of people. So now that the strong men and the people of the Eight-character Army come to join him, Zhao Zhen is very happy now.

"Hurry up to meet you, hurry up..." Zhao Zhen said: "Send all the generals and tell everyone this good news, and immediately send a message with Pegasus and tell them that the Eight-character army is here, and we have successfully joined forces.

Zhao Zhen led the generals and officials of the commander's office to fly out of the city to greet the Bazi Army. About a dozen miles out of the city gate, Zhao Zhen saw the mighty remaining troops of the Eight-character Army in the distance. Surrounded by the generals, Zhao Zhen hurriedly greeted him.

The Bazi army generals also hurried forward after dismounting. Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong were at the forefront, followed by generals such as Xiao Guan Yu.

When the two sides were seven or eight steps apart, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong suddenly stopped, bowed and bowed. "Final General Fu Xuan (Jiao Wentong) pays homage to His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The eight-character army generals hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down.

After the King Xin fled, he got up in Wuma Mountain, and then led his army Lika Wuma Mountain to fight the Jinbing. Although it has been spread for two or three months, for the soldiers of the eight-character army, the King Xin was very good. strange.

However, this time Xinwang shocked them a lot. When the Xin Wangyi Army set off from Wuma Mountain, everyone thought that Zhao Zhen would be blocked halfway, and they could be regarded as intercepting and chasing soldiers.

However, a large number of people and righteous people have defected to Zhao Zhen, so that Zhao Zhen's faith in Wang Yijun suddenly grew stronger. At first, they heard that King Xin led his army to repel the pursuers and defeated Pu Jianu's army. They thought it was a rumor, and the record was exaggerated. When they met the Black Dragon Army, they were shocked when they heard that King Xin had already conquered Leping, Fushan and Peaceful City.

Compared with Emperor Gaozong who fled south, this person who believed in the king was more real in their minds. The Prince of Song Dynasty is no longer a deceitful legend, but a true prince of the royal family who takes anti-gold as his duty and has repeatedly defeated the royal family of Jinbingdi.

At this moment, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong led a group of leftover sergeants of the Eight-character Army to see Wang Xin himself, and the image of the king became more complete and clear. With such a proud record, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong and a group of eight-character army generals were immediately convinced of the believing king Zhao Zhen, and everyone bowed in public to show their surrender.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly ran over, supported with both hands, and immediately raised the generals of the Eight-character Army, such as Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong, who had stayed behind in the Taihang Mountains.

The generals of the Eight-character Army left behind in Taihang Mountain, such as Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong, brought hundreds of thousands of people and strong men to the King of Letters this time. In fact, they were forced to choose helplessly.

As Wang Yan led the elite army of 10,000 characters to the south, the remaining 100,000 people were actually abandoned by Wang Yan. Wang Yan was actually helpless to go south. Because hundreds of thousands of people are very burdened, if he wants to bring so many people south, he can't escape the encirclement and suppression of Jin Bing at all.

When Wang Yan led the soldiers south, the reason why Jin Bing did not attack him was actually not how much Jin Bing feared him. It is because the leadership of the Jin Army believes that Wang Yan will not make trouble in the hinterland of the Jin Army occupied area, which is actually a good thing. In addition, Wang Yan did not lead the people to the south, so Jin Bing did not attack him.

In fact, if Wang Yan led a hundred thousand people south, the Jin army would definitely launch an attack. For the Jinren, the most precious thing is population. As long as there is a population, there will be food, clothes and everything. So Jin Bing attaches great importance to population.

Similarly, for Zhao Zhen, population is also the most important. Zhao Zhen now wants to build a base, and this is his ideal place. Here, Zhao Zhen wants to develop high-temperature furnaces for smelting and forging, and to dig coal for coking. It is also necessary to refine gunpowder and thermal weapons. With the current level of science and technology of the Song Dynasty, even if the flintlock cannot be made, a matchlock can be made.

There are also crops such as radishes, pumpkins, and sorghum, which can increase food production. All Zhao Zhen's ideas require a large population to complete. He needs population very much now. At this time, more than 100,000 people left by the Eight-character Army came, and Zhao Zhen was naturally very happy.

Back to Pingding City Road. People who are resettling everywhere see the banner of the King of Letters. Seeing the army coming from the northeast, I was very excited. Everyone shouted in their throats: "Thousands of the Kings of Letters! Kings of Letters...!" Cheers rose to the sky. Soon, there were deafening cheers everywhere, and the cheers violently hit the hearts of the eight-character army generals. For the first time, they deeply felt the lofty status of Wang Zhaozhen in the hearts of these people.

This kind of support and respect from the heart is something that Wang Yan has never enjoyed. Only the real Prince Song, and the prince who can provide stability to the people and defeat the Golden Soldier, can enjoy it. And Zhao Zhen is an alternative to the royal prince, this man created a legendary record. In the past, for the people of the Eight-character Army, the fate of this legend was only heard, but now the legend has finally become a reality. The King of Letters has extremely high prestige, and he has defeated the Golden Soldiers several times. It seems that under his leadership, it is really hopeful to expel the Golden Soldiers.

After Wang Yan took away 10,000 elites, the eight-character army is now mostly civilians and strong men. The total number of troops is less than 3,000, and most of them are made up of strong men who have never fought. But Zhao Zhen didn't think that Wang Yan picked the rest of them, who had no fighting power and strength. Zhao Zhen ordered that wine and meat be rewarded to comfort the hard work. Fu Xuan, Jiao Wentong and the generals of the eight-character army accompanied Zhao Zhen into the city and went to the commander's house in Pingding to celebrate the meeting.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Zhen and the generals began to discuss matters. The most important thing is to recruit prisoners and expand the army.

The first to be expanded was the Golden Tiger Army of Zhao Bangjie and Zhao Songyong, and the Golden Tiger Army was expanded into two armies. Each army has a battalion of cavalry, a total of two thousand cavalry.

Ma Zheng and his men fiercely changed Zhang Ying's Ma Jiajun to the Tianma Army, and the Tianma Army was expanded into two armies. Each army has one battalion of cavalry, and the Pegasus has a total of 2,000 cavalry. To tell the truth, Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangjie have contributed to the re-emergence of Xin Wang Yijun, especially Zhao Zhen himself today. It can be said that Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangjie contributed to it to some extent. Now that Zhao Bangjie and Zhao Zhen have become a family, don't say something, as long as you know it in your heart.

The following expansion is the Black Dragon Army of Gaobaoshan. The Black Dragon Army has been expanded into two armies, and Gaobaoshan is the commander. The Khitan general Xiao Deli led five thousand cavalry to form the cavalry army of the Black Dragon Army. Xi Renfan general Gan Guduo led five thousand infantry to form the Black Dragon Infantry Battalion.

Because there are many Xiren among the recruits, letting Fan Jiang lead the soldiers can reduce Xiren's resistance. As long as Zhao Zhen feeds and spends money, won't the soldiers follow suit? Naturally, he would follow Zhao Zhen, the prince of the Song Dynasty, to fight the goldsmith.

In the handsome account, Zhao Zhen also did not forget the horoscopes who rushed to him at the same time. Expanded an army to Fu Xuan, the Tieshan Army, all infantry. Jiao Wentong was also expanded into the Battle Tiger Army, all infantry. Among them, some of the troops expanded by the two were Xiren, and some of them were selected from the strong men who had defected to the Eight-character Army.

As for the title of the Eight-character Army, it will disappear in the Xinwangyi Army in the future. Because the eight-character army led by Wang Yan is the real card, there is no need for Xinwang to raise this banner. Because now, the King of Letters’ own banner is even more prestigious and prestigious than the Eight-character Army.

Whether it is now or in the future, Zhao Zhen is a big banner in Wang Yijun. As long as he is there, it means that the rebels in Hedong and Hebei are still fighting against gold. The Hans of the Song Dynasty have not been defeated, they are still fighting. Therefore, Zhao Zhen's banner must be fully displayed. No matter how great the appeal of the Eight-character Army is, it is not as powerful as the king's banner, which has won many battles.

"Now, Shouyang has the main force of fifty thousand golden soldiers who are lazy. They actually want to coerce us so that we can't continue to attack the city. Now, I need your support and your full support to continue to fight." Zhao Zhen said with his hands.

A group of generals looked at him, all with a murderous look in their eyes. At this moment, even Jiao Wentong and Fu Xuan, who just came to vote, are the same. For a long time, Wang Yan left the Bazi Army Rebels lacked this fearless courage to fight continuously. In fact, the two went to Zhao Zhen, which was moved by Zhao Zhen's fearless spirit as a prince. They came to Zhao Zhen sincerely. As for Wang Yan, compared with Prince Xinwang, his level is too far behind. Wang Yan! After abandoning them and heading south, they lost their sincerity.

"Follow the Chitose Shuai's decree and fight another battle!" The generals shouted one after another. The generals, each with their eyes wide open, waiting for Zhao Zhen's command to fight the Jin Bing.
