Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 97: Grain and grass lure enemy soldiers

Views:

In the handsome mansion of Jinjun Jiezhou, Shi Guduo was sitting in the handsome mansion and sighed. The last time the army attacked Bluestone City, the King Xin's army counterattacked it. The Golden Army, which was already short of food, lost all its food and grass. Now that the main force is defeated and retreated, the food in Jiezhou City is almost gone, and the surrounding people have moved south or entered Shitiaoshan Qingshi City. Jin Jun didn't even have a target to fight the grass valley. Now the food is in short supply and the people are in panic. Especially the Khitan people, Xi people, Bohai people, and the Han army suffered emotional instability in the absence of food.

He had long inquired about how the Xinwang Army, who was entrenched in the vicinity, in the south of Hancheng, had looted the grain and livestock that had been robbed of the Jin Army. The Xinwangjun was transported to Fenzhou, where the main force of the Xinwangjun was entrenched.

Now, after the autumn harvest, Qingshi City is said to have had a bumper harvest. According to the spies who pretended to be merchants, the officials in Qingshi City said that after they left enough food for themselves, all their grains had to be shipped to Fenzhou.

Of course, the spies dressed up as vendors just to listen to the news. They went to buy mirrors and transparent colored glaze, but also to sell them to the various nobles in the northern golden country. That believes the king's army is fighting fiercely, and there are treasures. Mirrors and transparent colored glaze sold to the northern nobles were worth a thousand dollars, and they could earn several times. After all, the generals of the golden army still wanted to make a fortune by the way.

Shi Gu Duo, who got the news, could seize an opportunity to do meritorious service this time. He immediately sent a detective horse out to find out the news and search for suspicious targets. He intends to intercept the grain and grass that believes in the king's army once. The old let Xin Wang Jun intercept the grain and grass of the Jin Army, and this time they also came to intercept the grain and grass of the Wang Jun. However, Xin Wang Jun is very powerful and has strong combat effectiveness. You must be careful, otherwise, in front of Xin Wang Jun whose combat effectiveness is stronger than the Jin Jun, if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.

Thinking left and right, Shi Gu Duo was thinking about how to deal with Wang Jun Xin, and at this moment, he heard a horse detective outside the hall report a letter. The handsome mansion sounded: "Report--" and a figure rushed into Shiguduo's handsome mansion. As soon as the Tan Ma came in, he knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "General, we found a food brigade from Shitiao Mountain!" Shiguduo realized that the person was the commander of his horse exploration camp. He jumped up and asked, "What did you say? A food transport team appeared in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain. Which direction did it go?"

The commander of the Golden Army Detecting Horse Camp clasped his fist and said: "If you return to the general, you are going north, you want to bypass the eastern part of Jiezhou City and go north." As expected, he dressed up as a merchant spy. Shi Guduo's face lit up and said, "You are going to bypass the corridor between Xiezhou and Yanchi, are you sure?" The Tan Ma Ying commander nodded quickly and said, "The general can rest assured. They were indeed walking towards the corridors of Jiezhou and Yanchi, and rushed back as soon as the situation was confirmed." After hearing this, Shiguduo couldn't help but rubbed his palms and said: "You can talk about the specific situation, the food transport team. The more detailed the deployment of troops, the better."

The commander of the Golden Army Detecting Horse Camp recalled and said: "The food escort team consists of more than 5,000 people, half of which are civilian husbands. The leading general has the surname Meng. I don’t know who it is, but it is very likely that it is a general who believes in the king’s army. . All the grain trucks are carts, about five hundred, and they are full of sacks."

After hearing the words of the commander of the Golden Army Tanma Camp, Shiguduo couldn't help but be overjoyed. There were a lot of food and grass, and the number of the food transportation team was not very small. For the strength of their Golden Soldiers, it is easy to rob the grain and grass of the Wang Jun! Once these grains and grasses are intercepted, their own Jiezhou will not be short of grains and grasses.

But then Shi Guduo frowned, he must be careful about believing in Wang Jun's tricks. Shi Guduo thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you find other Song troops coming out of Zhongtiao Mountain?" The commander of the Jinjun Horse Exploration Camp shook his head and said, "If you return to the general, Qingshi City is tightly guarded, and the general did not send anyone. Go inside and investigate. But as usual, the city is full of people in the morning, and the sky is full of people, and it lasts until the evening before it becomes quiet. Also, there will be no army coming down from Shitiao Mountain."

If you believe that the king's army has no other army down, then you are not afraid. With more than 2,000 believers in the king's army and more than 2,000 civilian husbands, he can still eat it. The news from all quarters immediately dispelled Shi Guduo's worries.

It seems that after defeating the main force of my army this time, the general surnamed Wang Xin Wang is proud and arrogant, thinking that with more than two thousand people escorting grain and grass, we dare not move you? This time I have to intercept this batch of grain and grass. I will show you how to believe in the king's army and let you know that my golden army is in the world and it is not easy to provoke!

Shi Guduo thought of this and shouted: "Come on, bring the map to this general!" The guards next to Shi Guduo immediately ran to the side and searched for it. After a while, he took out the pictures of mountains and rivers near the corridor from Jiezhou to Yanchi. , Hand it to Shiguduo to see.

Looking at the map, Shi Guduo proudly said: "Xinwang Jun thinks he is acting quickly and secretly, and wants to move from Jiezhou to Yanchi corridor to the north of Fenshui. To the east of Xiezhou City is Yanchi, and our army's strength in Jiezhou is just as close as possible. Intercept the other party. This corridor is just a piece of dead land. As long as you intercept the escort team that believes in the king’s army here, there will be no way into the sky and no way to go. Hehe, you can leave me at that time."

Shi Guduo had a proud face, complacent about his preemptive efforts to get the news early. He instructed the commander of the Jinjun Detective Horse Camp: "Well, you go back quickly and send people to watch this transportation team closely. The most important thing is to pay attention to whether there are other people around them. Check carefully. We need to beware. This is the bait that the Gao Pang bastard believes in Wang Jun throws at us, you can understand."

The commander of the Jinjun Horse Detecting Camp hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, the general will arrange manpower to keep an eye on them, and there will be no false positives." Shi Guduo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go, this time. If you believe in the king's army, remember your best work!"

The grain transport team led by Zhao Zhen and Beast had already arrived at the corridor between Xuezhou and Yanchi at this time. The length of this corridor is very short, only two or three miles away. The grain transport teams are all horse-drawn carriage cavalry, and can pass through here in a little over a quarter of an hour.

If the Jin Army intercepts the grain and grass, now is the best time. Zhao Zhen secretly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, and was ready to set off a signal flare when the golden soldiers attacked, so that the three armies secretly lurking in the distance could get news.

Sure enough, not long after walking along the edge of the salt pond, there were shouts of killing from the front, back and left. Shi Guduo, who had led people to ambush here early in the morning, heard the spies say that the food squad had entered the corridor, and immediately decided to attack.

As a blazing arrow lifted into the sky with fireworks and burst, the golden soldiers ambushing on three sides moved together, shouting one by one, and rushed to the grain squad.

After hearing the call to kill, Zhao Zhen rode on the horse and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Stop moving forward and quickly set up!" The soldiers stopped and drove the carriage in a big circle, and then drove the horse drawn by the cart. One after another untied. Then the sacks on the cart were unloaded one by one to block the gap between the carts, and the carts were erected horizontally, and a simple city wall was built.

The beast entered the formation and saw Zhao Zhen whispered: "Thousands of years, you are in charge. Just leave the trivial things such as charging and trapping to the beast." Zhao Zhen nodded and laughed: "Okay, leave it to you, be careful. Point." The beast slapped his chest: "A good friend will fight instead of a good friend. Chitose can rest assured that today I have to get all the yolks beaten by these golden dogs out, ha ha."

After that, the beast turned his head and shouted: "Five hundred archers prepare arrows and begin to prepare bows. Another thousand and five hundred pikemen are prepared to defend and are responsible for close defense. The remaining three thousand cavalry are on standby at any time, ready to go out to counterattack. Jin Jun!" Seeing that his arrangements are still in order, Zhao Zhen chuckled, this beast can be regarded as its own.

These five thousand people in Mali were actually strictly trained soldiers of the Golden Dragon Army. They were well-trained and immediately lined up, prepared for battle.

Under the sound of the rumbling horse stomping, the cavalry of the Golden Army galloped over first. They were less than fifty steps away from the simple carriage array, but they couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded when they looked at the carriage array that restrained the cavalry from charging. At this moment, with the beast's order, the five hundred archers took the lead to release arrows.

Along with the roar of the beast, the rain of arrows flew up into the sky and shot up into the cavalry formation of the Golden Army, screaming one after another for a while. The golden soldiers who rushed to the front retreated one after another. Shi Guduo raised his scimitar and shouted: "Charge quickly, and those who retreat will cut!"

Under the personal supervision of the main general, the golden soldiers turned around and rushed towards the car array. The golden cavalry slammed to the front, and the opposing side shot a long spear from the chariot. The golden cavalry that slashed at the forefront was repeatedly stabbed and fell to the ground to death, but there were still many people who had not been stabbed to death. I can't die within time, lying there screaming! Sometimes they were trampled on by their own war horses, and they were trampled to death immediately, which was horrible.

The Golden Army cavalry could not break through the chariot formation, Shiguduo mobilized the infantry and rushed forward quickly, one by one, the Golden Army infantry rushed up with shields. When the Jin Jun rushed under the car formation, there were bursts of shouts of killing all around him. Shi Guduo, who was behind the formation, looked back and burst into a cold sweat.

In the north, west and south, the banner of the Song army appeared! At this moment, all the golden soldiers were frightened to death in an instant.

In fact, Shiguduo has been more careful since the main force suffered a big loss outside Bluestone City, and deliberately released a few horses to pay attention to the surrounding movement. But people are not as good as the sky. The three armies sent by Zhao Zhen are all veteran soldiers who believe in the king's army. They have practiced anti-reconnaissance and are very experienced in themselves. In addition, these sergeants walked as early as the darkest part of the night. They walked twenty miles to find a hidden place to hide. If a golden soldier spies found their hidden place, they immediately went out of the infantry and wiped out all the spies released by the golden cart. , Let him be blind! The Jinjun inspected the horse everywhere, and there were only two teams, so they couldn't detect it in a short time.

Facing the ambush on three sides and the dilemma of Yanchi Shui on the other, Shiguduo quickly organized soldiers and horses to resist.

Shiguduo is in the city of Xiezhou, with a total of 20,000 horses in his hands, of which-half are Han soldiers with weaker combat effectiveness.

This time, Shi Gu Duo brought fifteen thousand men and horses in the interception of Wang Jun's food and grass. Although there are a lot of people, most of them are Han soldiers and don't have much combat effectiveness. Originally Shiguduo didn't have much confidence, coupled with the sound of killing and the rumble of hoofs all around, made him feel a little afraid. The prestige of Believing in the King's Army made those ordinary Golden Sergeants even more terrified. When the Jin Army saw enemies on all sides, the army was immediately unstable, especially the Jinbing Han Army panic first. At this moment, another scream of killing sounded in front of him, and a big hole was suddenly opened in the wall of the cart, and a group of cavalry with guns rushed out shouting.

With their shields on their backs, the Jinbing and Han Chinese infantry soldiers who were overwhelmed by the sound of killings from all around, killed a group of men and horses when they saw them, dropped the shields in their hands and screamed and ran back.

The cavalry soldiers from all directions roared and killed them, surrounded by cavalry soldiers from the king's army, and there seemed to be a lot of people densely packed. The defensive front that Shiguduo had just organized was a bit unstable by the Han army who fleeed from the front. The soldiers of the Jin Army were panicked, wondering if they could stop the opponent's attack.

Shi Guduo drew out his sword and shouted: "Warriors of the Golden Kingdom, kill the enemy generals and reward a thousand liang of silver! Promote to the third rank! Whoever kills ten enemy soldiers will reward a hundred liang of silver. "Immediately afterwards, the guards of Jin Jun also shouted.

These words were like a shot in the heart, which made the scared Golden Soldiers courageous, all gearing up for a big fight, and they had to chop off one or two high-ranking generals who believed in the king's army anyway.

However, the situation was far beyond Shiguduo's expectation. The fierce beast led the cavalry to kill first. Each cavalry was a well-trained warrior. They raised their spears and stood up, and the golden soldiers who could not escape were immediately chained to the candied haws. Although the depth here is not long, it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry fighting, but three thousand cavalry, led by the wild beasts, spurred long guns, and the golden soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

The cavalry had an absolute advantage against the infantry. The infantry of the Golden Army immediately blocked the Mercedes-Benz of the Golden Cavalry, preventing the Golden Cavalry from advancing, leading to chaos in the formation of the Golden Army. The Beast took the lead and led the cavalry to rush, but the Golden Soldier could not resist. The Beast led the cavalry in the defensive formation of the Golden Army, tearing a gap. As soon as the gap opened, the Golden Army was even more unable to withstand the charge of the cavalry.

Facing the cavalry on these tall horses, all the golden armies were assassinated and fell to the ground. Seeing the spear of the spear, the comrades fell to the ground continuously, and the morale of the bandits and the golden army began to collapse. Although Shiguduo's offer of Qianliang Reward for Silver and Level 3 is surprisingly high, but it also has to be life-saving. Many soldiers in the Golden Army are not afraid of death, but they don't know that death is also going up. With this idea in mind, all the golden soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the entire formation was completely disorganized.

At this time, Shi Yongnu, who watched the enemy and commanded the battle, watched Liulu and listened to all directions. He was in a fierce battle with Di Lei, Zhao Xiaodao, and Yan Chengfang's three-way army on the periphery. When he saw that the situation was wrong behind, he shouted to the guards beside him: "Tell the cavalry commander, let him take someone up to stop them!"

The cavalry commander was an old man next to Shi Guduo. Upon hearing the order from the guard, he immediately led his man Ma Bai on the left side to bypass the defeated infantry, and rushed towards the cavalry of the beast.

When the three thousand cavalrymen of the fierce beast were stopped by the thousand golden cavalrymen, Di Lei, Zhao Xiaodao and the others also slammed close to the main battlefield of the golden army.

Shi Guduo was angry when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, and immediately sent a guard to cut off the commander in charge of the horse-tracing camp to vent his hatred.

At this time, Shi Guduo cursed and gathered the army. At this time, the Three-Road Xinwang Army had defeated the outer defense forces of the Jin Army, and had already reached the front of the Chinese Army. Shi Guduo's neck was stubborn, and he shouted, "Stick me!"

It is a pity that these golden soldiers under Shigu have been smashed by cavalry from all directions, and they have begun to rout.

All the army composed of the Jin Army, the Han army and other tribesmen can't stop the onslaught of the Xinwang army, that is, the trusted and elite Jurchen soldiers around Shiguduo can withstand it for the time being.

However, the three-way cavalry of Xin Wangjun attacked, and there was a counterattack by the cavalry. The front line was too long and Shiguduo's elite troops were too few to be able to reach. Many golden soldiers just couldn't stand it after they fought. Most of the soldiers under Zhao Zhen were strong soldiers based on the special forces of later generations combined with ancient military training, and most of them were fought with real swords and guns. Coupled with the special battle formation and the superiority of the spear assassination battle, is it that most of these golden soldiers of the Han army, who are unwilling to fight or have poor combat effectiveness, can withstand it? Nearly 10,000 Jinbing Han people saw the heavy casualties and couldn't resist them, so they ran away.

When the Jinbing Han troops fled, they always looked at a place where there was no danger. They looked around, and the main formation was not attacked, so many Jinbing Han troops ran there in unison.

Originally, these golden soldiers who had not been attacked saw enemies on all sides. They had no bottom in their hearts and their morale was low. They barely formed a formation under the rebuke of the leaders of the whole army. I didn't know that the enemy hadn't waited, but he had indeed come to attack his formation.

Responsible for the formation, the leader of the Jin army was anxious, knowing that something bad was going to happen, and if the front army rushed in, the formation he had finally established would be destroyed by them. Jin Jiang immediately shouted: "Stop, stop."

But when this kind of life was at stake, who would listen to the soldiers? All the Han Chinese soldiers who ran were ignored, and they just ran into him.

After being rushed by the rebellion, the Jinjun Zhongjun's formation became chaotic in an instant. At this moment, the Xinwangjun cavalry also caught up and rushed in. Another burst of ghost crying and wolf howling, the front team of the Chinese Army also collapsed.

As a chain reaction, the Golden Army collapsed more and more. In less than half an hour, Shiguduo's army of more than 10,000 was completely messed up. The people shouted, and the Jin army trampled on each other in chaos. At this time, the King of Letters Army also rushed in, and the Cavalry of Kings of Letters took advantage of this great opportunity to stabbing with their guns one after another to expand their results.

At this time, some of the Jin Army and Han soldiers began to flee to places where no one was in the distance. With the killing of the King of Letters, more and more golden soldiers were fleeing.
