Emperor Zhao Gou came to visit the camp personally. The soldiers of the Song sergeant had never seen such a noble person as the emperor, so they scrambled to watch. However, under the constraints of Han Shizhong and the generals, the sergeants were relatively safe, kneeling on the ground one by one.
I saw His Majesty Zhao Gou, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a purple gold crown, riding a white horse under the protection of the royal guards, and came to the gate of the camp with a solemn expression. At this time, Han Shizhong took the generals and knelt down and shouted: "Welcome to long live, long live my emperor long live long live long live."
Looking at the black and heavy kneeling soldiers, the cheerful Zhao Gou was heartless and didn't let everyone get up. So he went straight into the big camp, making the soldiers wonder whether to get up or continue to kneel. Suddenly everyone fell into an embarrassing scene.
However, after entering the camp, Zhao Gou saw that none of the generals had come in. So let the eunuch announce the decree to meet. This allowed the soldiers to get up on their own. Entering the big camp, Zhao Gou sat in the main seat unwillingly, his eyes scanned both sides of the generals who had just kneeled for a while, not knowing Zhao Gou's joy, anger and trembling generals. He said solemnly: "You generals, now that Liu Miao has chased my court and has no ruler and no country, he has been severely punished. Don't learn from them, as long as the Aiqings are loyal to me and the court, they will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth. ."
The generals on the left and right looked at each other and thought together: "I have been desperately fighting for so many years. Every year, there are some empty talks. The military pay is not increased, and the belly of the military rations is not guaranteed. The reaction is useless. There is no bribery from high officials Many, they are all poor soldiers. Naturally they can't get anything." Each of the generals followed the principle that silence is golden, observing their feet without speaking.
Han Shizhong saw Zhao Gou's face getting worse because the generals didn't speak. As the chief general, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that it is only natural for me to wait to serve the country. To expel the Tartars and restore my mountains and rivers is the most important task of my generation. Under your majesty, you can add my great song. There are still hundreds of thousands of troops, and under the attack of the rebel troops in the north, which are mainly faithful to the king, the Jinren will definitely not be our opponent."
Hearing what Han Shizhong said, Zhao Gou's face was even more gloomy when he was young. Believing in the king is his eternal pain, because the king of trust who has been fighting against gold and victorious, compared with himself who has been running away, seems how useless he is. But he couldn't say these things, so what should he say? I just want to be the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin? Believe in the king is the one I will kill
Although Zhao Gou's face was bad, he wouldn't say anything about the emperor. He said: "General Han Shizhong is Miao Chan, resisting Jin Guo's soldiers and horses, and achieving peace between the two countries, a long way to go, and a lot of help from the generals present here." "Wish to serve your life!"
"Okay." Zhao Gou nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly felt that Han Shizhong was very talented besides being too straightforward. However, since Zhao Gou has listed him as a person who will be degraded in the future, even if he saves himself a hundred times in the future, he will be degraded at the right time. Because his allegiance is obviously Da Song, not himself.
In fact, at this time, Zhao Gou returned quietly from health. The reason why his face was poor was not because Han Shizhong's army was poor, but because Jin Bing didn't agree to his request for peace.
Zhao Gou went north to Jiankang Mansion (now Nanjing) to write a letter to the gold man, expressing his willingness to cut the Song Dynasty state as a minister. After he fled to the south, he complained that "what he did was poor, what he cast was narrow", "there is no one by rules, and there is no land by running", and asked the rulers of the Jin Dynasty to "see mourning but forgive themselves" and stop heading south. March. It did not make any strong deployments for the War of Resistance against Gold.
The Jinren refused Gaozong's surrender and prepared to move south again. Due to the tacit agreement with the Xinwang Army for the time being, both sides stopped attacking. So now Jin Bing is starting to drop the army and go south, planning to implement the famous "searching mountains and seas to catch Zhao Gou" in a few months' time. Zhao Gou helplessly went south again and again.
Han Shizhong, who had assembled his subordinates, stood anxiously outside the hall, and only waited for his majesty's emperor's command to go north to kill the Jin army. But this waited and waited, and no one came out. Several guards kept sending wine and food inside. Seeing such a situation, Han Shizhong had no choice but to go back to camp.
In the palace, it was singing and dancing, and Zhao Gou drank and ate amidst the compliments of the generals.
Just as Yangzhou's singing and dancing were rising. In the Song Army camp under Jiankang City, a gang of Song troops was heard that Jin Bing had killed them, and the whole camp suddenly became chaotic.
Because Zhao Gou didn't train soldiers, the soldiers from Xiaomin City were panicked a few days ago, and they didn't know what to do. Finally, under the loud shouts of the generals, they formed a messy formation, and then walked out of the camp step by step. When I left the camp, I saw yellow sand rolling in the distance, accompanied by the sound of thunder-like horseshoes, sweeping towards the camp. Not to mention the soldiers who just became soldiers, even the generals of the Song army at all levels are fighting in two battles!
Fortunately, Jin Bing didn't directly kill the big camp, but stopped one mile away. Only a few fast horses came straight to the camp, and the people stood fifty paces away and shouted loudly: "Song, the soldiers, listen, Song has been breached by our great golden kingdom, and our master thinks that there is a good life in the heavens. Germany, order you to surrender! Otherwise, once the army arrives, no one will stay!"
The middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers who did not know the news were immediately stunned, and their eyes were filled with unbelievable expressions: Tokyo, several attacks have been held firmly, several times have been lost and several times have been lost and regained. I really lost it this time. At this time Jin Bing shouted again: "Hurry up and surrender!" Song Bing immediately became a mess, approaching collapse!
A member of Song General held up his sword and shouted: "My sons, kill this general!" Upon hearing this, the generals behind him rushed out in a reflexive manner. The soldiers also followed the generals to kill, but the general was behind. This general is no one else, Du Chong who is officially inevitable.
Originally, Jin Jun thought that Song Capital was broken, and Song Bing didn't immediately surrender. Even if you don't surrender, you have to run away quickly. When the cavalry followed, it would be no different from killing a flock of sheep.
Unexpectedly, there were generals in the Song army who were loyal to the emperor and defending the country. Wang Gui, Yang Jin, Li Gui, and Ding Jin led their troops to fight back. The countercharge of a few people caught the Golden Soldier by surprise. Before he could even release his bow and arrow, he was killed by a few generals leading in front.
Wang Gui and Yang Jin, Li Gui, and Ding Jin, armed with long spears, commanded all the troops to kill the encircled Golden State cavalry. The cavalry that followed is worthy of the Northwest Army's background. Not to mention the excellent equestrian skills, the attack is ruthless and accurate, and a golden soldier fell from the horse. The sergeants followed Wang Gui, Yang Jin, Li Gui, and Ding Jin, like plowing the ground, smashing a bloody path in the golden army, and heading straight for the enemy's commanding flag!
The Song Army army that rushed up afterwards also slammed into the Jin Army's army formation. It is said that the mourning soldier will win, this is true. Perhaps it was the bloody nature buried deep in the heart that suddenly broke out under the stimulation of blood, or perhaps it was the inevitable way to make the soldiers feel uneasy. They could have defeated the Golden Army, why did they lose again and again, and flee again and again? The soldiers sent out anger in their hearts and desperately killed the enemy.
The golden soldiers who thought they were vicious and wicked would fall to the ground with a knife, and all the soldiers slashed and killed frantically. Although all the golden soldiers are people who have been in battle for a long time. However, in the face of the ferociously slayed men and horses, they did not have time to charge, and lost the advantage of cavalry. Each golden soldier riding on the horse was a living target. Just one shot pierced a Song soldier, and there were three or four around. The spear stabbed him. Then he lifted it high, pulled it back, and fell heavily to the ground.
In the past, the Jin Army and the Song Army were fighting, and the Song soldiers were often collapsed at the touch of a touch. They did not fight to the death as they do today. In addition, the golden soldiers here are only forward troops, with only a small number of 10,000, and they have come out against tens of thousands. Song Bingyan has an invincible reason.
A one-sided situation appeared on the battlefield, with golden soldiers dropping off their horses continuously, and the red-eyed Song soldiers smashing their bodies with swords! The four generals Wang Gui, Yang Jin, Li Gui, and Ding Jin are also getting closer and closer to the handsome flag of the Jinbing forward. Seeing that the flag is not far away, you will be done in a while.
At this time, Zhao Gou, who served in silk and satin, served Wang Guizi in his heart, but as a supervising army, he ran away blindly. Wang Guizi and Du Chong, who was afraid of death, ran towards Jiankang City under the protection of the guards. Maybe it's because they got used to the majesty and prestige outside, their soldiers even held up the handsome flag! Song Bing, who was fighting, saw this, and immediately shouted: "The coach has been beaten back!" It was pretty good. Song Bing looked back and saw a huge handsome flag dangling into the city. . They shouted: "The coach is gone!" The anger in my heart suddenly vented a little!
How big is the battlefield where the tens of thousands of people are fighting, and how many people can see the battle at a glance. When Song Bing was fighting, seeing the coach running away, he thought that his side was defeated. Someone who was timid and afraid of death turned around and ran away, and didn't care about his own robe!
The most taboo thing on the battlefield is the appearance of deserters, so there are teams to supervise and kill deserters in battle. Because in battle, it is often because once someone starts to flee, there will be many people immediately fleeing with them.
Sitting firmly in the back, some of the Song Army generals who had just won the victory saw this situation, knowing that it was not good, and hurriedly sent their own guards to stop the defeat. But there were too many people who fled. The guards of Yaowu Yangwei even chopped up a dozen deserters. They thought they were an indestructible embankment, but they were hacked to death by the deserters who ran over.
The deserter now has only one thought in his mind, that is, it is important to save his life! Whether you are your own or an officer, as long as you stand in the way of Lao Tzu's life, then go to death!
There was already chaos, and the main general and the supervising army fled south, all the sergeants had no intention of fighting, and they retreated one after another. Wang Gui, who rushed to the forefront, did not notice this, and was still rushing.
However, the other generals always paid attention to the surrounding situation. As soon as they heard someone shouting to retreat, and the coach and the supervising army ran away, they knew that the situation was not right. Yang Jin backhanded a golden soldier approaching, grabbed the reins of Wang Gui's horse, and shouted: "General, our army is defeated!"
"What!" Wang Gui opened his eyes in anger, his face full of disbelief. At this time, a member of Jin Jiang seized the opportunity and slammed his spear at Wang Gui from behind.
Ding Jin, who was facing him diagonally, immediately shouted: "Be careful!" At the same time, he threw the saber in his hand at the stabbed spear, and skewed the spear that had just touched Wang Gui's shirt. When Wang Gui heard the words, he suddenly noticed the strong wind behind him, and with his instinct, he turned the spear head to stab him behind him, and pierced the throat of the golden general. With blood in his mouth, Jin Jiang looked at Wang Gui in disbelief. After Wang Gui received his spear, Jin Jiang fell unwillingly.
Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin looked back at the Song soldiers who were fleeing, and looked at the Jinjun general's flag a hundred steps away. Yang Jin shouted unwillingly, "Retreat!" Turning the horse's head and retreating backwards, all the soldiers and cavalry followed.
It’s easy to come and go. The Golden Soldiers who took a sigh of relief did not chase and kill other deserters. Under the leadership of the officers, they surrounded the army led by Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, Ding Jin and others. Come. With more and more enemies, the retreating Song Army cavalry were not cut off from their horses, and the horses hoofs of the chasing soldiers stepped into mud.
But for a moment, there were already thousands of cavalrymen, and there was not much left. Although Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin were all masters, they couldn't stand the enemy and were injured in many places. In addition, he killed a lot of golden soldiers, and his body was covered with blood, like blood gourds one by one.
Wan Yanchang, the Vanguard of the Golden Army, standing under the banner of the forward, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's dangerous!" They went to chase other Song soldiers, how could such a good opportunity be let go, hahaha, kill me all!" Chuan Lingbing hurriedly responded.
Then, a burst of horn sound spread throughout every corner of the battlefield, and the golden soldiers who were chasing Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, Ding Jin and others were startled after hearing the sound. Then, under the shouts of several golden army generals, most of the cavalry gradually separated, chasing and killing other Song soldiers. Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, Ding Jin and others felt that the pressure was slightly reduced. The cavalry team that had been divided into several pieces gradually came together. The team of more than 4,000 people has less than 500 people left. , And all of them are wounded.
Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin rushed to the forefront by relying on their martial arts and strength, only to break a bloody path and lead the army to escape.
The Song army resisting the southward movement of the Jin Army fled to Jiankang, and the Jin Army slew it, besieging the city on all sides. At this time, Jiankang City was in jeopardy.
Yang Jin, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin ran wildly for a long time, about ten miles away, and finally got rid of Jin Bing's chase before they could stop and take a breath. At this time, the four of them looked at their soldiers, and there were only more than two hundred people left. Wang Gui jumped off his horse, his eyes flushed red and said to the scarred crowd: "Dear brothers, somebody wanted to take everyone to abandon the dark and to please me. Born, but now... Wang is really ashamed!"
A big man hurriedly got off his horse, knelt down and cried: "General, I had to be forced by my livelihood before I was forced to fall into the grass. It was because of the general that I was able to walk on the street with integrity. They all died on the battlefield, but after they die, they can enter the ancestral grave. The general must not blame himself!"
Yang Jin, Li Gui, and Ding Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help the big man and Wang Gui and said, "Lord Wang, General Liu Pian, don't do this!"
Yang Jin turned his head and said to everyone: "Today, we are defeated. The nearly 100,000 troops who were encamped before Jiankang City to fight against the gold must be very few. We have very little left. The top priority is that you and I must go south to Hangzhou to find your Majesty. The army once again went north to fight against gold.
"General, what are you doing with him! A highness who knew how to escape, we could have stopped the Jin Bing, but now we retreat again and again. The old handsome Zongze's anti-jin foundation was defeated by the bastard Du Chong who was sent by the emperor. Today he can leave us once, and then he can leave us for the second and third time! Some time ago, I heard that the rebels of His Royal Highness resolutely resisted the gold and achieved great victories on several occasions. It is better for us to go north and run for the King. Let's recruit people and Jinbing to do it again." Wang Gui, who was leaning against the tree to fix his wounds, said unhappily when he heard Yang Jin was going to find Zhao Gou.
"Fuzzy, how can you say such a thing, fortunately you are still my Dasong general. If I wait for the people of Dasong to be loyal to the royal orthodoxy, will it be possible that I can go to the Northern King of Letters." Yang Jin stared angrily. At Wang Gui, he scolded.
Ding Jin whispered to the side: "Big Brother, Brother Wang Gui is also angry, so don't be too harsh. Besides, we are now going to the King of Letters, which is the wise choice to fight against gold."
Yang Jin thought, yes, Wang Gui was fighting bloody battle with his brothers today, but Du Chong once again left the army and ran away alone, no wonder Wang Gui was angry. So he said earnestly: "Brother Wanggui, don't say such annoying words anymore, and always remember the court. Don't forget, only the emperor is orthodox. After all, believing in the king is just a prince. Don’t listen to Gao Yunfei’s rhetoric. .Understood?"
Hearing this, Wang Gui lowered his head and muttered: "Imperial court Sheji? Do you know about the emperor's infertility? He knew that the Northern King was the most suitable heir, but he established another prince. Is it for the country? Sheji? Gao Yunfei was right. Zhao Gou was the emperor who usurped power and seized the throne. The two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong were in trouble. He didn't think about the northern expedition, but fled south to seek peace. Commander Zongze was pissed alive by him. "Li Gui and Ding Jin both agreed.
Seeing Wang Gui's dissatisfaction, the three of them blindly wanted to believe in the king of Beitou, and Yang Jin sighed. Said: "Brothers, everyone has aspirations, Wang Gui, if you want to go to the king, I will not stop you. And Ding Jin and Li Gui, I also know your thoughts, I can't keep yours. Heart. But I only have the emperor in my eyes, so I want to go south."
After that, he stepped on the horse again and said to the sergeants: "Brothers, I want to go south to the emperor. The three generals, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin, want to go north to the King of Xin. Brothers, who wants to go to the king? Those who believe in the king, let's go with the three generals." After all, Li Gui, Wang Gui, and Ding Jin had to reluctantly mount their horses, and the three of them were worried about whether to leave Yang and go.
