The first is a slight quiver in the air. 》.[]
On the field beside the copse, the grass was low, and the soil particles trembled slightly in the grass, and then the sound gradually became louder, the slight horse's hoof gradually turned into a rapid roar, and suddenly, the war horse rushed from the copse. out!
One ride, ten rides, one hundred rides... The galloping horses rushed to the field like a conflicting torrent. The knights on horseback were tall and rugged, wearing wide robes from the north and foxtail hats. They came from the north. Golden State Cavalry. In the fast gallop, the knight on the horse is also skillfully drawing bows and arrows.
The field of vision swept forward along the ground, and more than 500 soldiers of the Wu Dynasty had already formed a tight formation, and long spears pierced in front of the formation like a forest. The commander Tang Weiguang looked at the Jurchen elite cavalry, clenched his fist in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "Don't panic! The formation is not messed up! Hold tight! The bow and arrow are ready—"
"-put!"
A Arrow's Land.
The rain of arrows flew into the sky, staggered in the air, and fell in different directions.
The horse team of hundreds of people turned in the gallop, drawing a huge arc in the roar, and the arrows fell crackling, some shot on the shield, some plunged into the soil, and a small part saw blood.
Tang Weiguang pushed aside the shield-wielding guards beside him, and stared at the Jurchen cavalry with wide eyes. The roaring torrent drew an arc in front and swept to the flanks.
"Prepare bows and arrows! Pass my orders! The formation turns to the west - don't mess up! As long as it doesn't mess up, they'll have nothing to do with us-"
The formation of the spear and sword shield soldiers in front turned in one direction and faced the Jurchen cavalry again.
"push-"
The forest of guns advanced slowly. In front of that, the torrent of Jurchen cavalry rushed again, turning into an arc in front of the field of vision.
Almost at the same moment when the Jurchen cavalry shot the arrow, Tang Weiguang waved his hand violently.
"put-"
The rain of arrows staggered again, falling sparsely, and on the Jurchen side, cavalry also fell.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, let me spot them, push!"
The infantry formations slowly marched forward with guns in their hands. The archer drew his bow again. The Jurchen cavalry pulled away, then circled and attacked, firing a third shot, this time after a counter-shot. The Jurchen cavalry split from the middle. into two strands. Cross Benz for a moment, flanking from different directions. The formation of the infantry also began to change again, tightening in the middle as it unfolded. Another round of volleys from both sides. After the confluence of more than 400 Jurchen cavalry. After a small turn, he finally reluctantly went to the far side of the field of vision.
In front of them, the bodies of several Jurchen soldiers and the wounded warhorses were too late for them to restrain themselves.
Tang Weiguang clenched his fists tightly and looked at the other side, his palms sweating and trembling slightly, he was still confirming whether the Jurchen really left. In the few rounds of confrontation just now, the losses to each other were not heavy, and the response and evolution seemed simple, but he knew in his heart that as long as there was a slight difference, his more than 500 people would collapse in an instant, and he would be killed by a woman on the field. Real people are reaped like sheep.
"My lord, we won." Someone said happily beside him, "The golden dog was beaten away by us!"
"Uh..." Tang Weiguang was stunned for a while. He wanted to subconsciously retort, but then he nodded: "Find someone to pack up the spoils and bandage the wounded."
He walked to the soldiers in front: "Did you see, the golden dogs were driven away by us! They have nothing to fear, as long as they act according to the rules, these golden dogs will not dare to touch us hard! We train so much on weekdays, what is there to be afraid of? of-"
Then someone shouted: "Sir, we are not afraid!"
"That's right, they're just some uncivilized Jurchen barbarians, here's one, let's cut him a pair—"
Someone laughed, and Tang Weiguang also laughed: "Okay! That's what I want to do. After I go back, I will give you credit!"
There were cheers in the army.
Then the scouts went to investigate the whereabouts of the Jurchen cavalry, and the soldiers dragged away the bodies of the Jurchens and horses that fell on the field.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles outside Bianliang City, large-scale troops have gathered from all directions. The core area has as many as 170,000 troops, mainly in Lankao and Qixian areas, to confront the Jinbing. The total force in Bianliang City was between 70,000 and 90,000. On the other hand, there are tens of thousands of soldiers scattered around Kaifeng Mansion. They are responsible for guarding the place, evacuating crowds, putting pressure on Jurchen's grain-grabbing team, and squeezing Jurchen's living space.
Teams of five hundred, one thousand, and two thousand were scattered in various places in this area. Every day, conflicts broke out everywhere. Each battle report shows the fierce friction before the war...
****************
"...On an average day, there are at least 20 conflicts with more than 200 people. Eighty percent of us are good news. I think the Jurchens are about to surrender."
The yellow leaves fell, and the small motorcade drove forward among the roads in the woods. Ning Yi rode on the horse and was frowning and speaking in a low voice. Next to him was Su Wending from the Su family, a young man who was young at the time. There was a calmness on his face at this time.
"Seeing that the war is imminent, I think the army also wants to boost morale."
"The problem is that these things don't really mean much." Ning Yi said, "And you are too naive, the war is imminent... But many people actually have no confidence, the upper military, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others have no such confidence, Li Xiang also didn't... Of course, it may not be possible to say that Li Xiang did not, but this time he was under too much pressure. There were more than 80,000 troops in the capital, but none of them would be dispatched. Now there are nearly 200,000 troops outside. If we go to war with Wanyan Zongwang, no one has the confidence to win. What everyone is really waiting for is negotiation."
"Of course we can't worry too much about these things." Ning Yi didn't continue to talk about the overall situation, and sighed, "I've been having a headache recently about the cavalry's response. It's hard to find a way."
Su Wending thought for a while: "Not everyone in the army said that if the infantry formation is maintained well, it is not impossible to defeat it."
"That's nice to say." Ning Yi shook his head, "After all, the number of Jurchens here is less than us, and the war has not yet begun, they don't want to fight head-to-head, they all use a circle to test, you can handle it, He will leave, and if you can't handle it, he will take advantage of it, but you want to chase him. You can't catch up no matter what. So the current good news is false. It doesn't make sense."
"The Jurchens are afraid of head-to-head, is there any way to force them to head-to-head..." Su Wending said.
"Let's not talk about how to force it first, even if it really hits hard, it's courting death. If you really use cavalry to rush into the formation, there will be some casualties in the front row. But after the infantry formation is swept away, the formation will naturally be chaotic. With the current military strength of the Wu Dynasty , the next step is to harvest. At that time, the real battle report is mostly a fiasco, and now it's just because the Jurchen doesn't even want to pay for this loss."
During the conversation, someone suddenly came from the front on horseback. It was a master recruited by Zhuji. At this time, as a spy to explore the road ahead, he whispered a few words, which made Ning Yi's face slightly slightly changed...
********************
Outside the woods is a smooth hillside. Under the hillside, a tragic chase and killing came to an end. The fleeing soldiers were overtaken by the cavalry rushing from behind and cut off the heads with long knives. A large number of tragic casualties occurred. The road spreads back and forth.
This was an army of the Wu Dynasty that had been washed away. Some of the defeated soldiers were chased and ran into a small village in front, but the people in the small village had basically been evacuated, and some cavalrymen rushed in. After a while, in the village set a fire.
Some cavalrymen scoured the oil and water on the corpses on the road outside, but they moved quickly, and they quickly threw away the unpalatable dry food that the army brought. It seemed that these cavalrymen had something to do. After they gathered, they ran in the direction of their back. In the afternoon sun, a Jurchen cavalry cheered and threw the head into the sky.
The cavalry team was gone, and after a while, Ning Yi and Qi Xinhan and several other guards appeared at the edge of the forest. He could know that he had met 20% of the good news.
A few people came down from the grassy slope to see if there were any survivors. When they finally found a dying wounded man in the grass by the roadside, after hearing what he said, Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at him. Towards the direction of the Jurchen cavalry.
But at this time, there is nothing he can do...
The Jurchen cavalry rushed back a few miles away, and a migration team of thousands of people was surrounded by some of them. At this time, the Jurchen forced them to hand over their baggage, property, rice and other things, which were already there. Near the end. The things that everyone handed over formed a hill in front of the array...
*****************
Tian Ashan felt that his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was shaking. He felt that he might be dying.
His wife was holding his hand beside him, and she kept crying in a low voice. She cried and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb the Jurchen, so she kept shaking and shaking.
When the Jurchen drove them to hand over their belongings and grains, they used to throw their baggage and the gold and silver on the hill, and then heard the Jurchen beside him say something, he was stunned, and then the other repeated After reading it again, he knew very well that the other party was saying in Chinese: "You take off your clothes!"
"What, what..."
"Take off your clothes, who knows if you have something hidden on your body, and you, everyone, take off your clothes!"
A Jurchen suddenly said, "That's right! That's right!"
Then there was roaring laughter.
Tian Ashan froze there, but shook his head subconsciously. The next moment, the Jurchen came over impatiently, pulled his wife aside, and tore her clothes with a clatter: "Take off!"
With the sound of "Ah-", the woman screamed wildly, and Tian Ashan waved his hand subconsciously: "What are you doing, don't you..." Not far away, a Jurchen general came over with a gloomy face, and the brush was a knife. Then he kicked Tian Ashan away with a heavy kick.
Tian Ashan saw his hands fly out, blood gushing out, and the knife of the Jurchen general pierced out of his wife's back.
"What are you doing! Don't delay." The general shouted in Jurchen, "Kill—"
"Yes!"
More than 400 Jurchen knights drew their knives at the same time and slashed into the crowd.
…
The intense and boiling time only lasted for a moment, and the sound gradually disappeared. The Jurchens packed up their spoils, looked at the sun in the afternoon, and went back in the direction of Mutuogang. Soon after, they encountered a team of thousands who had been in the Wu Dynasty on their way back. The two sides confronted each other for a while. The Jurchen dropped some heavy objects and a few carts, and ran to the side with only valuable and easy-to-carry belongings and rice grains. Lost.
Not long after, Ning Yi saw this good news among many pieces of information. It is about the brutal massacre of a civilian team of thousands of people by the Jurchen. After looting the property, he met a flank of Wujie Battalion. After the fierce battle between the two sides, the Jurchen fled, and the army recaptured a lot of property.
Such victories and defeats are played out fiercely every day.
********************
Taiyuan. The autumn wind is blowing.
When Qin Shaohe came out of the tower. Subconsciously coughed a few times. Wrap your clothes tightly.
The city walls are full of soldiers standing guard, inside and out, traces of countless battles. Residual blood, traces of burning flames, traces of being hit by stone bullets. Outside the city, Jurchen's tents stretched out, and through the thick wooden walls, soldiers could be seen walking around. More than a month of offense and defense has ended for several days, and it seems that Jurchen has planned to do long-term trapping and no longer attack. At this time, walking on the city wall, among the soldiers, Qin Shaohe suddenly felt that the world was quiet.
After more than a month of repeated attacks and defenses, it is hard to imagine the enormous pressure. The city wall was broken through several times and taken back several times. Qin Shaohe thought that Taiyuan was about to fall. Wanyan Zonghan, who was outside the city, had already threatened to kill the whole city after Taiyuan was broken, but in the end, the city wall was still firmly guarded here.
Although Qin Shaohe never really fought with his sword after taking the lead for the first time, he was still injured several times on the city wall. At this time, his body lost a lot of weight, and his body smelled of medicine. illusion. But only the eyes have become quieter and firmer than before, which is the accumulation of "death" after many people have fallen around.
From a distance, he quietly looked at the direction of the Jurchen tent, and at this moment, he actually understood why the feeling that the world was quiet came from.
Taiyuan has become an isolated city.
In the second half of the siege, on the Jurchen side, it was not Zong Han who commanded the war, but his general Yin Shuke. Zong Han brought some other troops and in half a month, swept away all the surrounding areas in Taiyuan. The city has turned today's Taiyuan into an isolated city.
But it also nailed the Jurchen West Route Army here like a nail, making it impossible for them to go south at all.
Someone came over, it was Li Pin, who also smelled of medicine and was thin. Not long ago, Qin Shaohe once laughed at him, saying that literati were weak and Li Pin was too tired to fall ill, but even if he was ill, he was still responsible for his work accurately, and he was also not in good health. There is also Chengzhouhai, who is responsible for inciting many people to the city wall.
"Master Qin, the food has been ordered." Channel Li, "There is basically three months of food in the warehouse for the people in the city. If we start saving now, we can hold it for half a year."
"Enough." Qin Shaohe laughed, "When the news was cut off from the outside, I knew that hundreds of thousands of people were gathering in Bianliang. As long as the siege of Bianliang could be solved, the siege of Taiyuan would be solved naturally. The Jurchen marched quickly, The offensive is so strong that they can win quickly. In my opinion, they can't delay this winter. Ahem...you and me, I have to spend a lot with Nianhan and the others in Taiyuan."
"I'm lucky to be a lowly post." Li Pin handed over his hands and smiled.
"I don't know if I don't fight." Qin Shaohe put his hands on his back, looked up at the sky, and let out a long sigh of relief, "If it wasn't for defending the city this time, Qin would not know that he was so capable of fighting, and even... A city…”
His voice became a little softer. After speaking, what he remembered was that he looked at the many people who died on the city wall. Among these people, there were officers and soldiers and civilians. The fighting in the past month was too fierce. He was also often stained with blood, often straddling corpses one after another, and even fell into a pool of blood. At that time, he didn't have time to see these dead people, but now he remembers them.
After all, this city is guarded by them...
The autumn wind is coming, and winter is coming. When the snow covers the mountains, even the Jurchens who came out of the ice and snow will find it difficult to start a siege battle in such weather. At that time, the situation of Taiyuan City may be able to recover. After a lot of relief, Qin Shaohe relaxed a little. He knew that as long as he nailed the Jurchen West Route Army, it would be enough to greatly ease the battle situation in the capital. All this, whether it is Qin Shaohe, Li Pin, Cheng Zhouhai, or many generals and officials in the city, can understand in their hearts.
They will do great things.
However, due to the closure of the news, Qin Shaohe did not know that at this time, under the leadership of Zhe Keqiu and Liu Guangshi, as the strongest Western Army of the Wu Dynasty, they had already started a fight with Wanyan Zonghan at Tianmen Pass. He did not know that, at the same time, during the confrontation on the periphery of the capital, the imperial court was discussing the conditions for ceding Taiyuan and other places proposed by Wanyan Zongwang for peace talks.
He wouldn't know that this short period of peace and relaxation is about to become the beginning of a long hell... (Please search for astronomy, better and faster!
