Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 45: The King of Letters furiously drove Di Lei

Views:

This evening, the Rebel Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. Looking at the setting sun to the west, Zhao Zhen couldn't help feeling very annoyed. Although he knew that Zhao Gou's army would not cooperate with the rebels to launch an attack on the Jinbing, Zhao Zhen was still extremely angry that Zhao Gou's Song army had not yet launched an attack.

Zhao Gou was indeed too weak, and now the Jin army is marching northward. If Zhao Gou now led the Song Army to launch an attack from south to north, and cooperated with the Rebels to fully attack the Jin Army, the Jin Army would naturally be defeated by the Allied Forces. Even if you, Zhao Gou, don't want to meet the second sage and save relatives. At the very least, you have defeated the Jin Jun a little bit, so restore Heshan's a bit of enterprising spirit! In the end, this Zhao Gou really had no hope at all.

The East Road Jin Army launched an attack on the town near Zhending at the beginning of the first day. At the beginning of the tenth day the army entered the city of Zhending and was concentrating its forces. It took eight full days for the Jinjun Zhonglu to win Jizhou.

After the Jin army in the middle road conquered Jizhou, they all stopped moving. The commander of the Central Route Army is Wanyan Zonghan. He has always had great ambitions. His purpose of keeping the troops in check is too obvious, that is, to consume the strength of the East Road Jin Army and the Rebels.

Wanyan Zonghan has always been subject to Jin Taizong's suspicion, so he must ensure that he wins every battle without too much loss. His army is the capital of his own standing, so he first let the East Road Jin Army and the Rebels suffer both defeats, and then he led the army to launch a fatal blow to the Xin Wang Yijun and win the final victory.

The Jin Jun in the middle wanted to pick up the bargain, which was also expected by Zhao Zhen. But it is also the worst one Zhao Zhen expected. The current battlefield situation is not good for the rebels. The main forces of the rebels were all trying to lure the enemy to go deeper, but the Jinjun in the middle road remained stationary, and the rebels were unable to lure the enemy to ambush.

The East Road and West Road Golden Army combined have more than two hundred thousand people, several times the strength of the Rebel Army. A little carelessness will wipe out the entire army. Whether the situation can be reversed at this moment, and the key to victory depends on whether the ambush can deliver a fatal blow to the Jin army.

If the Jin army hasn't entered its ambush circle for a long time, the Rebels have no choice but to retreat, take the initiative to retreat to Taihang Mountain, and abandon all the towns. Only in this way, the loss of the Rebels will be very huge, and many people will be captured by the Golden Army. The Jin army is cruel and easy to kill, and the captured people are treated as their slaves. The suffering of the people is the most unbearable thing for Zhao Zhen.

The victory of the West Route Army is now the key. If the West Route Army cannot quickly encircle and wipe out the lazy Golden Army, it will not be able to support the Eastern Front in time. Then the army commanded by Zhao Zhen may be defeated and retreat from Zhending, so if the rebels want to stand firm on Hebei Road, they will have to fight another bitter battle.

"Chitose-in-chief, retreat." Gao Yunfei persuaded: "Our army has lost too much. Even if we lose Zhending today, we will still have a chance to retake it tomorrow. The golden army is so powerful that we cannot predict how we will attack. If Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) immediately sends his army of 100,000 from Jizhou northward, we will be completely surrounded, and the situation will become more and more dangerous."

Zhao Zhen hesitated. The Jin army was cruel and captured all the people as slaves. They couldn't abandon the people and start guerrilla battles. Even if Zhao Zhen had the heart to give up the people, his current reputation could not make him give up. His reputation allows many famous generals and righteous men to defect, but it is also tiring!

There are now Tieshan Army led by Fu Xuan, the Tiger Army led by Jiao Wentong, the Golden Dragon Boy Scout led by Fierce Beast, the Guards of the King of Letters led by Zhao Xiaodao, and the ten thousand rear army led by Zhao Qinger. There are more than 30,000 people in the six armies.

Among them, guarding Zhending City were the Tieshan Army of Fu Xuan and the Tiger Army led by Jiao Wentong. Although the rebel army is dragging most of the golden army through guerrilla warfare, the large number of golden army still gathers 40,000 horses to besiege the truth. Now Zhending City’s Tieshan Army, War Tiger Army, and defensive militia suffered heavy losses.

In the eastern part of Vaud, Zhao Bangjie, who defended the Middle Route Army of the Golden Army, led Zhao Songyong and the Golden Tiger Army, as well as Liang Xing's Broking Army, Zhao Yun's Broken Enemy Army, and Cui Qing's Yuntian Army. There are a total of 25,000 people in the five armies.

Originally, the Jinjun Middle Route Army, led by Wanyan Lou and Wanyan Zongwang, gathered as many as 140,000 troops. If Jin Jun Zhongjun's Wanyan Zonghan advances at this time. Then there will be a bloody battle in Vaud, and the loss will be heavy in terms of the strength of the Rebels.

The loss is second. The key issue is that once the Jin Army in the Middle Route moves westward and northward, it will attack Vaud and head towards Zhending. More than 200,000 Jin troops will be chased and intercepted in the east. At that time, let alone the people, the main force of the rebels would be very difficult to retreat. At that time, if the West Road Golden Army defeated the rebels and entered from the west of Weizhou, the situation would be out of control.

"The Jin Army has been attacking for several days. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongwang are both anxious to mobilize troops to attack the city. From this one can imagine Jurchen's mind. So we can no longer count on Jurchen in battle. Something went wrong. Let’s evacuate as soon as possible.” Gao Yunfei continued to persuade: “Wan Yan Zonghan (Nianhan) is not an idiot, and his group of generals are all those who have commanded troops in the Jin Army for many years. Just the current battlefield situation. Said that, of course, the safest way is to send troops immediately. This way, we can cooperate with the East Route Army and trap us to death. There is no need to fight with all our strength. We can do more with one stone, why not do it?"

Zhao Zhen cast her gaze on the map, and then slowly shook her head and said: "What you said was based on the premise that the West Route Army failed or could not quickly eliminate the Jin Army. But I believe in Yue Fei's ability, and I believe he can. He led the army to quickly occupy Taiyuan Mansion and besieged Yan Tiao Lazy. At this time, the West Road Jin Army did not send an export letter to the other Jin Army, indicating that they could not send out the messenger smoothly. This shows that the opponent's army has been besieged. Lived. We need to wait patiently and don't act prematurely to avoid unnecessary losses."

Zhao Zhen leaned over to look at the map, staring at the small black spot in Jingyang Town. For the rebels, whether they can stand a ground in this large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Jin soldiers, in addition to breaking the enemy's encirclement and suppression, they must also besieged and killed the lazy West Road Jin Army. Otherwise, the Rebels will be desperately besieged by the Golden Army on three sides.

The rebels were stationed near Taihang Mountain. Conquered a lot of land in Hebei and Hedong Road, occupied the important town of Zhending Mansion, and directly threatened Taiyuan, the important town of the Kingdom of Jin. It also formed a deterrent to the Xijing Datong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, which made the Jin people restless. How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? The Jinren tried every means to kill the rebels. I finally got help from God and succeeded in establishing an army and a base area. This kind of good deeds can never be repeated. If they are lost, they will be lost. There is no way to have them again.

In the face of an attacking army of hundreds of thousands of elite golden soldiers, personal tactics cannot realize their value. Zhao Zhen weighed it for a long time and decided to withdraw.

"Lead the orders, riding on the night, quickly evacuated Zhending, retreat Lingshou. All the people retreated." "Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong, two generals, quickly lead the troops and horses to lead the team to break through. Tell Zhao Xiaodao. , Let him lead the Guards to cover the main retreat."

"I rushed to the second wife of the old army, and led the army to organize the people to evacuate overnight, throw away everything that can be thrown away, and evacuate people to the mountains first."

"Sell Yue Shuai urgently and quickly annihilate the enemy. We need their support." Zhao Zhen issued orders one by one, and his eyes showed a firm brilliance.

In this retreat, Zhao Zhen also went crazy. He personally led Zhao Xiaodao to command the five thousand guards to raid the Jin Army under Zhending City, regardless of the persuasion of his subordinates, and commanded Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong’s more than 10,000 troops and the militia who defended the city. Covered out of the city, and personally led the guards to break the army.

In the dead of night, two sneaky figures approached Zhao Zhen's guard army camp quietly from outside the valley, observed for a while, and then quietly retreated.

After leaving the valley, the two of them ran to the woods not far in front. Under the moonlight, I saw a dark area in the woods, turned out to be all golden soldiers with tops of armor and crowns. One of the spies reported to a man full of steel armor: "General, there are about 5,000 people in the enemy camp. They have all rested now, and their defenses are very lax."

Behind General Jin Jun, a young man dressed in Song clothing said: "My lord, the younger ones have said that they dare not lie to you, do you think you can reward silver now..."

General Jin Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, come, take him down and get the silver." He said, winking at a Lieutenant Jin Jun next to him. The Jinjun deputy nodded slightly, and said to the Song man: "You come with me." He walked into the depths of the woods.

The spy of Song Ren, who was a spy for the gold man for money, happily followed the lieutenant General Jin Jun and whispered in his mouth: "One hundred taels of silver, hey, one hundred taels! It's enough for me to eat a lot. It's been many years to find a girl!"

The lieutenant Jin Jun in front stopped and turned around and said, "Here you are!" The spy from Song Dynasty looked up, and it turned out to be a steel knife. The Song agent was shocked, and before he could speak, the steel knife fell. The cold light flashed, and with a "poof", a big head splattered with blood stared at two big eyes, and fell to the ground.

Lieutenant Jin Bing put away the steel knife, wiped the blood from the knife on the corpse, and then snorted disdainfully, and said, "The guy who dares to sell everything for money." The most despised of our Golden State warriors is you. This kind of person said, he walked back.

Lieutenant General Jin Jun came to Jin Jun’s general and said, "General, the life of Song people has been killed by me." General Jin Jun nodded and smiled: "There are so many scums in Song people. The principle of destruction, hahaha. Warriors, take out your steel knives and tear all the five thousand soldiers who believe in the king's army to pieces!" After finishing speaking, he stepped on the horse with a white cloth on his mouth. After rushing out of the woods, the golden soldiers beat their horses to keep up.

Song Ying was still pitch black and terribly quiet. The golden soldiers held the torches high, slammed them in, and threw the torches on the camp. The barracks suddenly became a sea of flames. However, there was no scream from the soldiers who believed in Wang Yijun as General Jinjun imagined.

The Jinjun general suddenly realized that it was not good, and shouted: "Quickly retreat, there is an ambush!" At this moment, thousands of torches appeared on the mountains on both sides, and Zhao Zhen was standing in the front, looking down with a smile on his face. The horrified golden soldier shouted: "This king has been waiting for you for a long time. Give me arrows!" Thousands of arrows shot at the golden soldiers down the mountain in an instant, and the golden soldiers screamed and fell.

A shout of killing sounded from outside the valley, and the thousand cavalry who had been ambushing outside held high their sabers to kill the golden soldiers who had become chaotic under the arrow rain. At this time, Zhao Zhen brought Zhao Xiaodao and the others down from the mountain. The swords were dazzling, the arrows were like rain, and blood was splashing everywhere. Under the leadership of the letter king Zhao Zhen himself, the guards screamed and killed the golden soldiers, and the golden soldiers screamed in the valley.

A young soldier who was on the mountain, who had newly joined the soldiers of the King of Letters, watched the fight at the foot of the mountain, and the bloodthirsty personality he had cultivated over the years made him eager to move. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, shouted, and rushed out.

The Jinjun general, who rode on a horse and fought hard to kill, cut many people in a row, which was truly awe-inspiring. The Jinjun general Hu Ernu, a warrior of the Jurchen tribe, is unstoppable.

At this time, although Zhao Zhen was strong in martial arts, there was no one general. But now he is entangled by a group of tall golden soldiers and warriors, seeing that his soldiers are no match for that golden general, but he brings a dozen guards to face the siege of hundreds of elite golden soldiers. , Although he was at ease and not in danger, he couldn't fight with the enemy generals for a while. I can only do it in a hurry, but I can't help it.

At this moment, he heard a loud shout, and saw Jin Jiang's horse fall to the ground. King Huernu also fell from the horse. Both Jin Bing and Song Bing had forgotten the fight, staring blankly at the little soldier raising his fist.

It turned out that the little soldier rushed down the mountain and killed several golden soldiers with one punch. He suddenly saw the golden general beheading several soldiers of the Song army. He was very brave. He rushed over, unexpectedly, lucky Dantian, punched the war horse on the neck, knocked the war horse to the ground.

Jin Jiang was dizzy and stood up from the ground, shaking his head vigorously. Looking at the brave soldier who believed in Wang Yijun with his eyes spitting fire, he shouted angrily, raised the knife in his hand and killed him.

The soldiers of the two armies who came back to their senses also shouted and continued to fight. The soldier squinted his eyes and stared at the killer Golden General Hu Ernu. At the moment when the opponent's sword was about to fall on his head, he was only on one side, and he immediately avoided.

The little soldier jumped forward, and then turned around, his hands that were hanging down suddenly lifted up and hit the back of the unstoppable Golden General. Jin Jiang Hu Ernu fluttered and lay on the ground.

Jin Jiang Hu Ernu stood up with a grin, his hand holding the long knife was a little trembling, and the big beads of sweat covered his forehead. Two ribs were broken by the other's punch.

The soldier stood there quietly, looking at him. As if telepathic, the surrounding Song soldiers did not provoke the golden general Huernu. On the noisy battlefield, the small soldiers and the golden general Huernu looked at each other, as if the surroundings were calm, like the center of a tornado.

After all, Zhao Zhen's strength is very powerful. He saw his steel spears chaotically, and countless stars brought the summons of death to the golden army generals and warriors to hell.

In just a few moments, Zhao Zhen slaughtered all the golden soldiers and samurai who besieged him. At this time, many of the golden soldiers who came to steal the camp surrendered or fled under the fighting of Zhao Zhen's personal guards, and the rest were killed and wounded. Only Jin Jiang Huernu stood there alone, unable to move in pain. The letter king Zhao Zhen, covered in blood from the enemy, walked slowly in front of Huernu, looked at the golden general Huernu coldly, and said in Jurchen's words: "Golden dog, don't kneel and surrender!"

Jin Jiang Hu Ernu resisted the pain and snorted coldly: "You Song people are cunning, you can only play conspiracies and tricks, and you don't have the style of a warrior. If you are a good man, you and I will lead a team of people and start a battle."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Warrior? Don't you, a warrior, also come to steal the camp? On the battlefield, victory is the kingly way. This trick of stealing the camp, my Han, had it a thousand years ago, but you still dare. Use this plan against us."

The brave soldier on the side said, "This is called a golden dog, whose head is inferior to a pig. It is hard to learn from our Han people, and it is not embarrassing. Hehehe." The soldiers all around laughed. Jin Jiang Hu Ernu pointed at the brave soldier and said angrily: "You..." but accidentally pulled the broken bone, frowning in pain.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said to the little soldier: "What is your name? I will promote you heavily." Then he said to the golden general Hu Ernu: "This king will not kill the generals, so I will spare your life today. Go back and say to your master, my Emperor Song has gathered a team of millions of kings and will go north soon. Advise him to withdraw his troops early and do not make more killings. Otherwise, once the army arrives, you will be destroyed. Day. Give him a horse and let him go back."

Zhao Zhen knew that the other party was a close friend of Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongwang, and she would pass on her words. A golden general in exchange for a suspicious tactic is also considered Zhao Zhen's usual method. Although Jin Guo and Zhao Gou are somewhat related, they are enemies after all, and they are both extremely defensive against each other. If Zhao Gou leads his troops northward, a large amount of land occupied by the Golden Army will be recovered, and the Golden Army will naturally be severely hit.

A sergeant led a horse and threw the rein to the golden general Huernu. Jin Hu Ernu gritted his teeth and took the rein, resisting the pain of the broken bone, climbed onto the horse's back, gave the soldier a fierce look, and then drove away.

Zhao Zhen watched the golden general Hu Ernu drifting away, turned her head and smiled at the little soldier: "What is your name? You are so skillful, but it's unheard of!"

The young soldier was about to answer. A corporal leader who walked up and down the mountain did not know when he replied first: "Return to the lord Chitose, this man has just joined our army. It is my soldier, his name is Di Lei."

"Di Lei!" Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered. Isn't Di Lei one of the eight sledgehammers of Yue Fei's army in Yue Fei's biography? No wonder it is so powerful.

"Oh, I never thought that there would be such a master in my guard. It is really rare!" Xinwang Zhao Zhen said with a surprised look, and then said to the corps commander and the battalion commander who followed: "From now on, Put him under my account and take orders for the time being, temporarily as my chief guard." After that, the letter king Zhao Zhen took a look at Di Lei with interest, and was busy checking the number of casualties.
