Speaking of military strength, Li Yanxian nodded and said: "It's okay to be driven out of this Zhongtiao Mountain by Jindu Wanyan Lousu. I am afraid that once we withdraw, there will be less containment and buffering. Jindu Wanyan Lousu will return. Over the course of the day, we will definitely attack Shaanzhou with all our strength. If we can delay for more time, it will definitely be more beneficial to the battle!" At this point, he sighed helplessly.
The letter king Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. In fact, it was one of his strategies to contain the Jinjun here. The Kingdom of Jin now rules the entire Liao Kingdom, and now the Jurchen population adds up to a million, and the Jurchen army alone can make up more than a dozen or two hundred thousand soldiers. In addition to the various ethnic minorities in the north and a large number of Han troops, the Jin Army now has a force of millions.
Although Zhao Zhenxiao defeated the 200,000 Golden Army, among them there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 Jurchens. But it still couldn't hurt Jin Guo's muscles and bones.
And now the most terrible thing in the occupied area of King Xinwang is the lack of food and meat. Now it is under the management of the commander-in-chief's mansion under Xinwang Zhaozhen, and under the deployment of his own grand strategy. As many as tens of millions of people have been actively pursuing wasteland and farming, raising all kinds of livestock, rabbits, chickens and ducks. Rabbits and chickens and ducks are very fast-breeding creatures, and they can breed more than 100,000 in just one year.
Plus the harvest of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. As long as the Xin Wang Yijun survives next year's autumn harvest, he will be able to obtain enough food, grass and meat to support the army's attack on the Golden Army.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen came here with 10,000 guards, not just to expand the territory. In order to contain a large number of the Golden Army, the Golden Army was unable to mobilize a large number of troops to carry out a second large-scale encirclement and suppression of the occupied area. Hundreds of thousands of golden troops were contained here, plus hundreds of thousands of golden troops going south, as well as various golden troops who encircled and suppressed small groups of rebels and bandits. Jin Guo could no longer accumulate energy to attack the occupied area of King Xin, but they were afraid that King Xin's army would suddenly launch an offensive.
Therefore, on the surface, it was under the binding force of a thin contract, but in reality, it was because both sides were unable to launch an attack. The Jin Army did not start a new war with the Xin Wang Army.
"General Gao's sharp spear is invincible. When Jin Jiang Ulu Redraw attacked Shaanzhou City last time, he was defeated by me. He lost his army but escaped. This time, a few shots died in your hand, the general magical technique." Eat Taking a bite of wild pork, Li Yanxian smiled and said to Zhao Zhen. He dragged Zhao Zhen's thoughts back from a distance.
The third year of Jianyan had just entered mid-July. Before the defeated Golden Army had time to repair, a new round of offensive by the Golden Army began again. Rebels everywhere fought guerrilla warfare against the Golden Soldiers one after another under the guerrilla warfare plan of Wang Zhaozhen. The Song army in the south resisted under the leadership of generals such as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, and the consumption of the golden soldiers increased.
Wars and chaos in the north of the Yellow River have continued over the years, and most of the people north of the Yellow River have defected to the south and the occupied areas of the King of Letters. The rest of the people who did not want to move, would rather die in their hometowns, don't talk about starvation and death, and there is indeed no surplus.
At this time, Jin Bing's original local plundering policy was almost useless at this time, and the looted things simply couldn't meet the needs of the tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, because Zhao Zhen led a 10,000 cavalry army to ambush the golden army's heavy squadron, the golden army had no food. There was no way that Jindu Tongwanyan Lousu, who was in charge of destroying the rebels, had to collect grain and grass from Yanyun and northern Shaanxi and transport it to the front line.
At this time, the grain and grass transported to the front line of the Jin Army were all hoarded in Hancheng. At this time, Wanyan Lousu, who was mobilizing troops and horses to launch an offensive, did not expect that it was very far away from Shanzhou City, and was guarded by layers of gold troops everywhere. Zhao Zhen led five thousand cavalry soldiers to the south of Hancheng.
That is to say, in the place where the Jinjun escort food team must pass, the Zhao Zhen sent spies will report every few days that a food team has passed into Hancheng. However, Zhao Zhen, who was lonely and deep, was unmoved, and the Zhao Xiaodao who followed him anxiously scratched his head and asked him all day, but Zhao Zhen always laughed without saying a word. Or it was just a sentence: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." Then Zhao Xiaodao was sent away.
Finally, just when the five thousand troops were waiting for the flowers to thank, there was good news suddenly-a food squad composed of two thousand golden soldiers and five thousand civilian husbands had left Hancheng, and it was about to come. Since then! After hearing the news, Zhao Zhen immediately took out a topographic map sketched when he first arrived, and carefully considered it.
After watching for a while, the letter king Zhao Zhen pointed to a valley and smiled and said to himself: "Good place. As long as you block them in, the golden army will not escape. It is very close to the Fen River. Just let one When the fleet is dressed as a golden army navy and drifting northward, the grain can be sent to Fenzhou."
Zhao Zhen knows that the military ration this time is not just one or two months’ food for hundreds of thousands of people, but a full two or three months’ food for hundreds of thousands of troops plus 10,000 cattle and sheep.
Due to the long distance, in order to clean up the rebels around the Xinwang occupied area, so as to prevent the surrounding rebels from uniting with the Xinwang Yi army, so as not to make the northern anti-golden army bigger. Jin Guo spared no effort to support Wanyan Lousu.
The grain and grass and so many animals that were brought this time allowed Wanyan Lousu to rule the army and the defenders in various places until the beginning of the spring next year.
Zhao Zhen immediately summoned five battalion commanders and commander Zhao Xiaodao. In Zhao Zhen's wooden house, when Zhao Xiaodao saw King Xin, he asked: "Chitose, what are you telling me to do? Is it possible to send me down to rob the grain and grass?"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaodao was so anxious, Zhao Zhen smiled, and immediately said with a straightened face: "Zhao Xiaodao listened to the order and ordered you to be the commander of the five battalions of soldiers in the headquarters. They will lie in ambush at the valley mouth and the mountain before dawn. As long as the Jinbing enters the trap, Don’t let another person go out, understand?"
Hearing that he was about to rob the Golden Army’s food and grass, Zhao Xiaodao happily clasped his fist and said: "Telling!" Then Yue Fei said again: "There is one more thing that must be done, and that is to change into the robbed Golden State clothing and soldiers. Blade, tell the soldiers that we must not reveal the truth that we are a rebel army. From now on, we will be called... um... From now on, we will declare to the public that we are the giant bandits on Jingzhaofu Road--Huangfengzhai! Who! If the king’s plan is broken, five hundred army sticks!"
Hearing what Wang Zhaozhen said, Zhao Xiaodao nodded in doubt, and the two battalion commanders who followed him clasped their fists again: "Please don't worry, Lord Chitose, the generals will definitely explain it."
In an unnamed valley, suddenly agitated in the silence. Two thousand golden soldiers escorted thousands of large carriages and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep transported by five thousand civilians and drove over.
Near noon, the weather was hot, and the golden soldier's grain transport officer Wanyanli, who was resting on the hillside, retreated with a water pouch and was drinking there. The Golden Soldier spies who went to explore the terrain hurried over, sweating and panting and said, "General Qi, there is a big valley about three miles ahead. The mountain road is steep, and the road is also very bad. Go. It’s easy to walk after crossing the valley. After crossing the valley, the terrain is very flat."
Wanyanli withdrew the water sac in his hand and drank it, and asked, "What is unusual about you?" The spy Jin Jun saw the general sipping water and felt that his dry mouth became even more dry. He swallowed, and shook his head: "No, but the mountain is steep. We didn't go up and look at it. How about we climb up and take a look?"
Wanyanli retreat raised his head and looked at the steep mountains in front of him, frowning and said, "Forget it, it takes too much time to climb so high to waste. We have to rush to the military stronghold before dark. We can't stay here for too long. Without waiting for the spies to speak, he put up the water bag and said: "The previous few waves of the grain transport team passed through here and nothing happened. I think there are no younger generations. Besides, there are no Song Zhu or thief soldiers nearby, and we have. Two thousand warriors are not afraid of them even if they encounter them. The order is passed on, and the whole army will immediately go out, drove the group of Han Chinese untouchable slaves through this ghost place.
In a short while, under the whip of the Jinbing, five thousand civilian husbands shouted chants with carts of animals, pushed carts carrying grain, and led countless cattle and sheep towards the valley step by step.
Looking at the hot sun directly above his head, Wanyan couldn't help but sigh. With his bravery, he didn't send himself to attack the Song army, but was sent as an official to escort the grain and grass.
When Wanyanli withdrew thought of this, he suddenly heard a few screams in front of him, and then someone shouted: "There is an ambush, everyone, run!" The chaos in front suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, and the folks threw down the cart and threw their legs. Just ran forward. Just two steps out, a few sharp arrows shot right in front of him, and countless civilians stumbled back and hid in carts, cattle and horses.
At this time, Wanyanli withdrew to react, drew out his scimitar and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Golden Kingdom, rush out with me!" As soon as the voice fell, I heard several screams in front of them, a group of people There was a sudden rush and almost knocked Sabri down. Before Sabri could scold him, he heard "Boom!" A few loud noises, dozens of large rocks fell from the sky, sealing the exit. Strictly. Dozens of Jinjun who cleared the way ran slowly, and were immediately crushed by the boulder. From the cracks in the boulders, black and red blood flowed out.
Seeing that the road was blocked, Wanyan retreated and shouted: "Quick! The rear team changes to the front team, retreat!" Just when the soldiers of the Jin Army turned around, they heard another shouting and killing at the entrance, but the valley It is narrow, with thousands of people plus thousands of carts and tens of thousands of livestock, making the team extremely long and narrow.
Wanyanli withdrew to stand on horseback and did not see what was going on. When he was anxious, he saw a Jinjun lieutenant under his command jumping over on a large cart that was connected.
The Jinjun lieutenant shouted as he jumped: "It's not good, my lord, there are also ambushes behind, the mountains and plains are full of people!" As soon as the voice fell, Wanyanli withdrew without saying anything, shouting: "Warriors of the Great Golden Kingdom, Follow me to rush out and kill all these Song pigs!" He said he was about to leave.
At this time, a burst of laughter resounded through the valley, and someone could hear someone say: "Listen, the golden dog at the foot of the mountain, I am the head of Huangfengzhai who descends from the sky, the gods are reincarnated, there is no way to kill people, the world is invincible, the suave, the Yushu is in the wind, That’s the case for the King of Yellow Hair, who is known as the Jade-faced Little White Dragon, who is loved by everyone and blooms. Now, you have stepped into the sacred and inviolable sacred territory of Huangfengzhai, so you are surrounded by us. Hurry up. Put down your weapons and surrender. Lord, I am in a good mood today. I just want to make money and not kill my life. I will give you food and animals a way to survive. Otherwise, this valley is the place of death for Ele and others. Have you heard that."
The sound reverberating in the valley can be described as deafening, shocking the more than seven thousand people under the mountain. "Huangfengzhai? King Huangmao who is known as the little white dragon with jade face? What kind of fairy reincarnation? The world is invincible? What is even more incomprehensible is that people love each other and flowers are blooming?" Wanyanli withdrew I was fainted by this self-introduction.
No matter what, even if Wanyanlihui was dizzy, he couldn't get rid of the predicament. He looked at the surrounding soldiers and the Chinese soldiers turning their eyes to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He didn't know the seriousness of the situation. Just looking at the situation told by the deputy general, he knew that this group of thieves would not be there.
Even if there are many thieves, I am not afraid. The fighting power of the Jin Army is invincible in the world. He led two thousand soldiers of the Jin Army confident that he could rush to the 100,000 vulnerable Song Army. But now he was surrounded, and his cavalry armor was useless, and he didn't know what gods and ghosts were talking about among the thieves, and the voice was loud, still echoing in the valley. The ancients were superstitious. When they saw this, the soldiers of the Jin Army and the Han people looked around with fear, thinking that some ghosts and ghosts appeared. Now the mind of the Jin Army is already unstable. Morale is low and the military spirit is no longer available. It is not easy to rush out.
Wanyanlixui immediately retreated. He had been fighting for many years. After all, he was well-informed. With the terrain of this valley, his two thousand men and horses couldn't exert their combat effectiveness at all. But if the gang of Huangfengzhai gangsters can let go of the grain and grass, it is still a matter of question, that is, they really went back, and there is only a dead end if such a huge amount of grain and grass is lost.
Thinking of this, Wanyanli could not help but secretly hate the city guard official who sent him to escort the grain and grass. You said that with so many grains and grass, only two thousand people were sent out to escort them. Although at least five hundred of these two thousand men are Jurchen warriors, and their combat effectiveness can be worth ten, they are still too few. At this time, I saw all the mountains and ridges all around. Wanyanli withdraws hesitates, and it is difficult to make a decision.
Besides, Zhao Xiaodao stood on the mountain and yelled to the big horn nestled in the iron sheet. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the people below reply. Feeling that he lost his face in front of the Hall of Believe King Zhao Zhen on the side, he lay down on the loudspeaker a little angrily and shouted: "You have to say something if you want to die or live! If you don't speak, I will throw stones down!"
This is very useful. As soon as the voice fell, the folks at the foot of the mountain shouted in a chaotic manner: "My lord, please beg your life, we are just some coolies." Begging for mercy. Although the Golden Soldiers did not speak, they also watched Wanyan retreat. In successive years of fighting, not only the Song Dynasty lost half of the country, but the Jurchens also lost a large number of young adults.
Especially in the face of the letter to the king's army, the Jurchens lost nearly 20,000 young and middle-aged people, almost several times the loss on all battlefields. Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin will not launch an offensive against the King of Letters for the time being, and the huge loss of the Jurchen population is also an important reason.
Therefore, every Jurchen is very precious nowadays, and Wanyan Lisi wants to preserve these Jurchen warriors. In addition, the opponent is not the Song Army, and the Song Army will not go deep into the hinterland of the Song State occupied by the Kingdom of Jin. Therefore, Wan Yan Li Xi reluctantly closed his eyes, and said in his heart: "In order not to be chopped back, I have to fight."
Wan Yanli withdrew his eyes, made up his mind, and yelled loudly: "Listen, the hero above, we can put down our weapons and leave the grain and grass to you, but you have to swear to let us have a way out!"
Hearing the response, he looked at the smiling letter king Zhao Zhen. Zhao Xiaodao felt that he had saved face, and smiled at the loudspeaker: "Okay, I swear in the name of King Huang Mao. If I break my promise, I will be thundered by the sky. hack!"
Wanyan retreated his mind: "Although Nanman is cunning, he also values his oath very much. It is estimated that this guy has said the truth." So he shouted: "Okay, what should we do next?" "Except for the leader." Apart from those who stay, the others will lay down their weapons and give you an hour to grab the time and climb out of the big rocks one by one. Remember, don't play tricks, or don't blame me Huang Mao for not being moral! Kill you!"
So Wanyanli retreated to command by the side of the big stone, and Jin Bing and the civilian husbands climbed onto the big stone one by one and jumped out. More than a dozen soldiers who had withdrawn from Wanyanli were first sent out by him to climb the mountains in an attempt to kill the opponent's leader. More than a dozen soldiers of the Golden Army were also considered agile, and quickly climbed the hillside with ziplines. A dozen of the Golden Army soldiers just jumped out, they had to take out the knives in their boots and fight the opponents desperately, but they were forced back by dozens of long spears without taking two steps, and they saw a stubborn boss of the opponent. Wandering came out from behind a large rock.
The little boss looked at the surprised Jin Bing and smiled: "Everyone, you dare to agree, we will let you out and don't care? You are allowed to kill and set fire, but are we not allowed to kill you? I don't know. Are you golden dogs stupid, or do you think our Song people are too weak to kill you? Humph, kill them!"
Then a few long spears were pierced into Jin Bing's body, and several people screamed and fell to the ground. The little leader of Xin Wang Yijun looked at several golden dog corpses and spat fiercely. The family of the little boss was killed by Jin Bing for the most part, and he hated Jin Bing. He severely ordered his soldiers: "Throw them in!"
Wanyanli withdrew while instructing the soldiers to climb the boulder, while praying that his soldiers could go up the mountain to kill the damn King Huang Mao. In that case, he might be able to turn defeat into victory. At this moment, more than a dozen things fell from the sky, "Puff!" "Ouch!" "Puff!" "Ah!"···················································································································· The man fell to the ground.
"Puff!" A corpse fell to Wanyanlishe's feet, rippling with countless dust. In the soot in the picture, Wanyanli retreat looked down and saw that it was one of his dozen soldiers. Obviously these soldiers have become corpses.
