Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 49: The Golden Army lost

Views:

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou quickly retreated to Zhending Fucheng. At this time, there were only less than four hundred troops left in their hands, and most of them were wounded. In Zhending City, there were only one thousand Han troops assembled in a hurry, and there was no fighting power at all.

Facing the main force of the rebels who came quickly again, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi left behind thousands of Han soldiers to guard the city. After attempting to delay the main force of the rebels. Quickly retreated southward and fled in a hurry towards Jizhou.

Just when the East Road Jin Army was assaulted by Zhao Zhen under Lingshou City and was defeated like a mountain. Just under the Jingyang Township occupied by the West Route Army, Wanyan Tart led the Jin Army and began to confront the army led by Yue Fei.

Under the city of Jingyang, the rebels were neatly prepared and well prepared. The gold is as powerful as a tiger, without fear. The two sides immediately began a bloody battle.

The Jinjun West Road in Jingyang Town encircled and suppressed the letter Wang Jun commander Wanyan Lazy, and got news from Taiyuan Mansion. The news was sent by the Jinjun Xiangwen Shi’s family slave and the superintendent Varanke who were stationed in Taiyuan.

One of them was Yuan Wanyan Zongwang's subordinate, and the other was a subordinate of Xi Wang Xiaoqian. For the two of them, Wanyan is lazy, but they are very jealous. They have average abilities and are afraid of death and greedy for money, but they have some backgrounds. Wanyan Tart was lazy for fear that they would not work hard before the war, so let them guard Taiyuan City. Who knew this arrangement had become a devastating disaster.

Wanyan Tart was lazy and didn't expect that the two who had sent the letter to him were already prisoners of Yue Fei at this time. Sending letters to yourself is just a strategy to get yourself out of Jiancheng.

At the back of the Jinjun battle formation, Wanyan Tatlan stood side by side with Yao Shi Guo. "Do you want to return to Taiyuan Mansion? Now Taiyuan Mansion is in a hurry and the rebels are attacking the city. Are we withdrawing troops and returning to support?" Wan Yan asked lazily.

Yao Shi Guo shook his head, expressionless, showing an unpredictable look. He said: "Taiyuan doesn't need reinforcements yet. They can stop it."

"Asshole, Taiyuan Mansion is lost, but I am the one who has the greatest responsibility." He actually knew what Yao Yaoshi meant. Originally, considering that Yao Shi Guo was a member of Wanyan Zongwang, and that he also had some strategies, he followed his opinion. But now the eyebrows are burning. He eagerly said: "The letter king Zhao Zhen is brave and cunning. If he uses a main force to besiege Taiyuan, then they can go south from Taiyuan. At that time, we will lose our land and run away from the enemy! At that time, you will not escape investigation. !"

Wanyan Tart was lazy to finish, but Yao Yaoshi Guo, who heard his words, had a slight change in his expression, with a trace of fear in his eyes. "The East Route Army has led the army to attack Lingshou and even Jingxing. It will soon rendezvous with us. As for Taiyuan, it should be safe for the time being..."

"It's only been a few days since the war? They are still far away from Jingxing." Wan Yan Tat lazy disagrees with Guo Yaoshi's opinion, and said: "Taiyuan Mansion has only 5,000 defenders. If the rebels besieged with the main force, they are very likely to fall." Guo Yaoshi. Maybe it was scared to be held accountable. After all, he is a Han Chinese, and he will be punished severely if he has committed too many crimes.

Pharmacist Guo pondered a little, and suddenly said: "Then you decide, shall we guard Jingyang and other reinforcements? Or go to support Taiyuan Mansion?" "Of course we support Taiyuan Mansion." Wan Yan Tat said lazily.

In fact, because Xin Wang Zhaozhen, the local snake, sent many second-echelon militiamen to intercept the couriers of the Jin soldiers, the Jin Army is still unclear about the current battlefield situation.

In fact, the Jinjun still has a chance to turn the tide of the battle. As long as Wanyan Tart is lazy in Jingyang Town and can't stand firm, he will block Yue Fei's army, and at the same time supervise Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) to quickly support it. The two armies jointly attacked Yue Fei, and then the army quickly returned and captured Taiyuan Mansion. At best, this battle returned without success. The situation of the Jin Army besieging the King Xin was not completely defeated. It was just the difference of a lazy thought that made the West Road Jin Army not only useless, but also lost its troops and lost a large amount of occupied land.

"According to the order, the defenders in the city will immediately withdraw and build an array ten miles away to cover the main force of the army to retreat." Wan Yan Tialan immediately gave the order. Wanyan Tatla took the lead to withdraw first, and soon the Xi Ren army and Han army of Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi also withdrew.

Warlord Yue Fei hurriedly pursued and was blocked by the Golden Army ten miles away, but he quickly annihilated the blocked Golden Army. The army of the Jin army was destroyed, but Wanyan Lazy, Xiao Qian, and Guo Yaoshi were able to retreat smoothly. The three of them led an army of 50,000 and fought and left.

Yue Fei immediately sent all the troops to occupy Jingyang Town, and then commanded the main army to go around the city and directly kill the Jin army in the direction of Fushan. For the Rebels, the top priority is to wipe out the main force of the Western Golden Army.

Taiyuan Mansion had only five thousand defenders, and the troops were empty. Wan Yan Tat, who led his army all the way back, was afraid to think of this. If Taiyuan Mansion is lost and the rebels can't take it back after the rebels can successfully occupy it, I'm afraid this guy who eats and eats will not be able to keep it. Because the Rebels could directly threaten Xijing Road, it was tantamount to putting Xijing in danger. Of course, the emperor was going to kill people in a rage.

After the Jin army intercepted by the back road was destroyed, the rebels no longer had a trace. Wan Yan Tatlan discussed with Guo Yaoshi and Xiao Qian, and immediately sent scouts to look for the main force of the rebel army. At the same time, regardless of Fushan, Pingding and Leping, which were still occupied by the rebels, the army went straight to Taiyuan Mansion.

At this time, the messenger who had contacted the Jin Army on the East Road was ordered to make a decision, but on the way, they saw all deserters from the Jin Army and rebels hunting everywhere. He was so frightened that he quickly turned back.

After Chuan Lingbing reported back, Wan Yan Tiao Lazy, Guo Yaoshi and Xiao Qian were really stupid this time, and they looked pale. Originally wanted to encircle the King Xin's army, but after ten days of fighting, the army did not encircle them. Instead, King Xin made their calculations and fell into their trap.

The whole battle was unbelievable, making them feel the creeps, and today this battlefield is full of weirdness. But having an absolute advantage in strength and being successfully counterattacked by an opponent is too outrageous and weird.

At this time, in Jizhou. Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), who got the news of the East Route Army's overall annihilation and the West Route Army retreating westward, was very regretful at this time and could not wait to slash himself.

In fact, he had long seen that King Xin was a powerful opponent and resourceful. Therefore, it is not a good strategy to rush to attack the Xinwang army and quickly siege the city and land. That's why he decided to stand still.

But a thousand calculations meant that he had missed the strength of the king's army. Who could have expected that Wanyan Zongwang, who had won all battles and victorious, led an army of 140,000 and could be defeated by the tens of thousands of troops of the King of Letters. Afterwards, Wanyan Tatlan, Guo Yaoshi and Xiao Qian not only did not report to themselves, they also evacuated without fighting, handing over the great fighter to the rebels and retreating westward.

Wan Yan Zonghan (Nian Han) was angry, and he had no retreat. This time, if he spared his life, he had to lead the one hundred thousand golden army to fight against the rebels. "Send the army, rush westward, and kill Ben Vaud."

But at this time, thousands of miles away from Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), eager to return to Taiyuan Mansion, Wanyan Tart, who does not seek merit but is undeserved, also preached: "The army rushed westward and went straight to Taiyuan Mansion."

At this moment of life and death, in order not to be severely punished by the emperor, Wanyan Tat lazily gave up helping Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan). This time the army failed to encircle and suppress Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) and Wanyan Zongwang's future will surely end.

And if he could hold the Taiyuan Mansion and still block the rebels under the Taiyuan Mansion, then self-retention would not be a problem, so he didn't care about Yan Zonghan (Nianhan), and quickly retreated to Taiyuan Mansion with his fifty thousand army.

At this time, Ma Zheng, deputy commander of Xin Wang Yijun, who had already been preparing to meet Yan Zonghan's (Nianhan) army in Vaud, met with his forward army. At this time, the old deputy marshal Ma Zheng, with white hair and white beard, still did not lose his pride. The army he commanded includes the two armies of the Tianma Army, Liang Xing's Pojin Army, Zhao Yun's Po Enemy Army and Cui Qing's Yuntian Army, with a total of 25,000 people in the five armies.

At this time, Deputy Commander Ma Zheng commanded 25,000 Rebel soldiers, and immediately launched a guerrilla warfare to delay Yan Zonghan's (Nianhan) army.

As soon as Wanyan Zonghan's army rested every day, they were frightened by the countless drums, horns, and golden gongs around. As a result, they got up and saw that there was no enemy. Every day the Golden Army was shot a round of arrows from a long distance by the Cavalry Archers of the Rebels as soon as they ate. When they mounted their horses to pursue them, the Rebels cavalry had already run away.

In addition to these, the small group of scouts of the Jin Army and the small group of Jin Army of Da Caogu disappear frequently every day. Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan)'s logistics food and grass were frequently robbed. Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) realized that the various tactics of Xinwang Zhaozhen were simply too rascal. He left himself with a hundred thousand troops, but his morale was low and exhausted, and he could even cut off food and grass.

In this way, with Ma Zheng resolutely implementing Zhao Zhen's guerrilla tactics, the speed of the golden army of the golden army dropped sharply, and even stagnated because of the looting of logistical food and grass.

At dusk when the sun was setting, near Shouyang, the lazy army of Wanyan and Yue Fei's army met. The two armies immediately began a bloody battle.

According to Tanma's report, after knowing that Shouyang had been occupied by the rebels. Worried about the safety of Taiyuan Fucheng, the anxious Wanyan Tart turned lazy and blushed, and rushed to the frontline warlord to fight to death. Since this battlefield is a trap, and since the purpose of the rebels is to take the Taiyuan Mansion behind them, I am afraid that now the wall of Taiyuan Mansion is hanging the banner of the King of Letters.

So obviously, the main force of the rebels is now attacking Taiyuan Mansion. As long as he broke through the attack of the rebels, there is still hope of regaining Taiyuan Mansion. The reason that the Golden State Army can win every battle is because the rewards and punishments are clear. Now as long as Taiyuan Mansion is there, one's own future is there, and when Taiyuan Mansion is lost, one's own future is gone. In order to have a bright future, Wanyan Tart must die.

Set up in the Rebel Commander's Mansion in Zhending City, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is watching the urgent report sent by Ma Zheng. Ma Zhengji reported that the Jin Army in the Middle Road was dispatched. They did not go south or east. Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) led the army directly to Vaud. But now Wanyan Tart did not cooperate with Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan), but turned his head and headed towards Taiyuan Mansion.

This news gave Zhao Zhen a sigh of relief. The Jinjun Zhonglu has at least one hundred thousand troops. If the Central Route Army had all pounced on the East Road of Huijin Jun, although Zhao Zhen was confident that the Rebels could win. But in that case, the loss of the Rebels can be imagined, and it is a fluke.

"Yue Feishai launched an attack on Wanyan Tart?" Zhao Zhen asked. "I don't know yet, how Marshal Yue's army will be divided and arranged to annihilate the eight thousand gold army rear army. There has been no news of the war. Regardless of whether Marshal Yue launched an attack or not, it is of little significance to the entire battle." Gao Yunfei said: "We have completely wiped out the East Route Army of the Golden Army. We only need to bring the people back and settle down, so we can concentrate our forces and use the advantageous terrain to intercept them in the Vaud region. After a few days, we will be able to repel the enemy."

Zhao Bangjie raised an objection. Although the Rebels defeated and wiped out the main force of the East Jin Army, they only wiped out the enemy all the way. In the face of the millions of soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin, and the lack of a lot of supplies for the rebels, they have not escaped the survival dilemma. If you want to stand firm in the Taihang Mountains area, you must annihilate at least two people from the Golden Army. Therefore, the top priority is to adjust the strategy. Use the main force to launch a counterattack and encircle and annihilate the Golden Army at any cost. As long as the Golden Army is crippled, the Rebels will be able to free up their hands to develop and expand.

Zhao Zhen agreed with Zhao Bangjie's statement and immediately ordered the ministries to prepare to go south and cooperate with Ma Zheng in launching a new battle against Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan)'s One Hundred Thousand Middle Route Army.

Then he ordered Ma Zheng to consolidate his troops, ready to cooperate with reinforcements at any time, and launch a counterattack against Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan)'s 100,000 Jin Jundi Middle Route Army.

Zhao Zhenshu told Ma Zheng that Wanyan's lazy West Road Jin Army did not descend southeast to support Wanyan Zonghan's (Nianhan) Middle Road Jin Army. The enemy opposite you is Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan)'s army, about 100,000 horses. The Marshal Mansion intends to mobilize the main force and cooperate with your department to launch a counterattack in order to eliminate the Golden Army to the greatest extent. So as to reduce the burden of the future occupied by the king, and buy time to expel the golden dog. Therefore, your current task is to hold Yan Zonghan (Nianhan) to stay in the Vaud state and give him a heavy blow when my main force counterattacks.

After receiving this letter, Ma Zheng discussed with Zhang Ying, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Cui Qing and other generals, and then decided to continue to implement guerrilla tactics, and dragged Yan Zonghan's (Nianhan) mid-road Jin army. He exposed his army to the eyes of the Jin Jun scouts, and let the Jin Jun chase after his army, leading the enemy by the nose.

At this time, the Jin Jun scout in the Wanyan Tat Lazy Army finally listened to the news that Taiyuan Mansion was occupied by the Xin Wang Yi Army. This news had immediate effect, and the battle between the lazy Jin army and the rebel army commanded by Yue Fei stopped immediately. The lazy army of Wanyan tarts sticks to the camp and hangs up to avoid the battle.

Hearing that Taiyuan's Fucheng was breached and the East Route Army was annihilated, he had not yet assisted the Jin Army in the Middle Route, which was advancing suddenly. The unfavorable situation in all aspects, coupled with his own mistakes in judgment, made Wanyan Tart Lazy suffer a heavy blow, desperate, and no longer have the will to fight. But Guo Yaoshi, Xiao Qian and others were also panicked and helpless.

Taiyuan Mansion was lost, and the entire East Road Jin Army was wiped out. The Rebels successfully broke through the siege of the Jin Army and also captured Taiyuan Mansion. Thinking of this serious defeat, it has never happened since Jin Guo established the country. Wanyan Tart and a group of generals shudder.

The southward siege and land grab were blocked at Tokyo Bianliang, and Jin Guo had other directions to attack, which would not immediately endanger the occupied area. The loss of Taiyuan Mansion in Jinzhou marked that the entire Hedong Road Middle Tribe had entered the hands of King Xin of the Song Dynasty. If the rebels grew stronger in the future, they could immediately kill Xijing Datong in the north. What does it mean to lose a Xijing? The Liao Kingdom was lost and perished one by one of the five capitals. Just imagine how the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin and the zealots of the Kingdom of Jin could bear it? I was really dead, and even if I didn't risk losing my life because of my repeated battles, my official position would definitely not be preserved.

However, the current situation is that even if the emperor wants to cut his own head, he may not be able to cut it. Because his own army had been surrounded by Yue Fei using geographical advantages.

The current Jin Army was surrounded by Yue Fei's army in the center of a basin. The basin was surrounded by mountains, and the mountains and intersections were all rebels.

"How about a breakout? What if you can't break through? It's not all dead." Guo Yaoshi sighed Yang Tianchang: "Now the plan is to break through the encirclement and retreat quickly eastward, and join up with Wanyan Zonghan's (Nianhan) Marshal's middle Jin army. The two armies merged with 140,000 horses, which is enough for a battle. As it is now, one in the west and one in the east, it is very likely that the rebels will be divided and attacked, surrounded and killed, and the whole army will be wiped out."

Wanyan Tart was lazy at this time and had lost the arrogance of the past. He was like a piece of wood at this time, and he had no idea at all. At this time, Wanyan Tart is lazy knowing that his future is over, frustrated and desperate, collapsed, just like a dead person, without a soul...no life...

Wan Yan Tiao Lazy completely collapsed, but there are still two principals in his army. After Xiao Qian and Guo Yao Shi discussed it, they no longer hesitate, and decided instead of Wan Yan Tiao Lazy to give the order, and the whole army retreated. Withdraw to break through.

In the middle of the night, the Jin Army suddenly broke through backwards. The fifty thousand troops discarded all their luggage and rushed towards the retreat behind the basin.

After all, the Jin Army has 50,000 troops, and Xiao Qian and Guo Yaoshi directly used the armored cavalry of the strongest Jurchen of the Jin Army to charge. This time they fought fiercely and retreated faster, which caught the rebels guarding the mouth of the valley by surprise. The Jin Jun immediately rushed into his mouth and retreated to the east.

After Yue Fei got the news, he immediately ordered the young general Zhang Xian, who was personally promoted by His Royal Highness, to be the vanguard and led the three armies of the Beiwei Army to pursue them immediately. Then he led the whole army to pursue the attack. More than 40,000 people stepped on the mud and marched eastward to pursue the golden soldiers overnight.

Jin Jun saw the rebel cavalry catching up, and suddenly panicked and confused. Although the news about the lost area of Taiyuan is strictly blocked, the soldiers are not idiots, they are still circling around this area, all of a sudden eastward, all of a sudden westward retreat, in a blink of an eye they fled eastward, there must be a problem. As a result, the military's morale was gradually chaotic, and morale was also very low.

Originally, the morale of the Golden Army was gone, was wiped out, and they encountered the cavalry chasing soldiers behind. The rumbling sound of war horses resounded across the earth and the sky. The young general Zhang Xian rushed up with five thousand cavalry. A round of arrows rained down a group of golden soldiers first, and then Benz shot forward and assassinated.

Groups of slow-running gold soldiers were slaughtered, and a few gold soldiers who resisted were immediately assassinated by the cavalry. Soon, the retreating Golden Army turned into an escape, and the escape became a rout, and then it collapsed for a thousand miles.
