In the northwest of the late autumn and early winter of Wu Jianshuo's second year, the chaotic situation was like a gunpowder store that burst open, and the huge flames were scattered on this barren and dangerous land. Even the continuous rain did not extinguish it. ◇↓◇↓. ￥f It exploded to its peak in a short period of time, and the aftermath seemed to have intensified power at that time.
The first confrontation between the Huaxia Army and the Jurchen West Route Army was on the night of August 25th. After the first wave of confrontation was over, the propaganda for the anti-gold issue was already in the operation of Zhuji members, It was launched on a large scale with the cooperation of various family forces.
Taking Yanzhou, Gyeongju and other places as the center, nearby Ning, Fang, Yuan, Huan, Lin, Fu, Feng states, Baoan Army, Qingjiancheng and other places, the storytellers and Bao Qudun of Zhuji began to pass on it after that. This news instigated an anti-gold atmosphere. With the retreat of Jurchen and the collapse of Yan Zhenguo's army, the situation in the northwest has begun to move on a large scale in the following two or three days.
First and foremost, the army of Zhongjia, headed by Zhong Lie, was naturally the most determined. In addition, in Yanzhou, Gyeongju and other places, the villagers spontaneously formed by the common people under the propaganda began to gather, and some cottages in the northwest and other places, The local snake also began to have its own actions under the lobbying of Zhuji. In the previous process of Xiaocanghe's rampant delivery of goods, these bandit forces entrenched in one place actually benefited a lot, and they also have a certain connection with the members of Zhuji. .
At the junction of northeast Gyeongju and the security forces, the mountain called Luofeng Mountain is actually a small part of it.
Several troops in the direction of Jingzhou and Pingliang Prefecture moved. On the other side, Yan Zhenguo, who had nowhere to go, gathered the defeated troops and regained his senses, and then attacked again in the direction of Gyeongju. Along with him were the two troops of the Wu Dynasty who had surrendered due to the majesty of the Jurchen. A group of 20,000 people and a group of 30,000 people attacked from the southeast to the northwest.
The regular army, the local forces, the villagers, the volunteer troops, and the strongmen in the bandit villages, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, have formed a huge vortex of war and various frictions on the land of the northwest. Hedges appear frequently in the surrounding areas of the main battlefield.
The real core of the battle was the West Road Army in Loushi and the Huaxia Army in Xiaocanghe. The two troops, each with only more than 20,000 people, faced off and fought on the edge of the high loess slope, but no one could keep up with the brutality of the battle on the edge.
In order to maintain their momentum and attack the weak with the strong, the Huaxia Army pressed Wanyan Loushi's army in front of them in the first time. Wanyan Loushi frequently harassed and tore the Huaxia Army's line with the advantage of cavalry, trying to make it retreat. . However, after the small black flag army's combat power was launched, the two sides' temptations on the edge of the battlefield frequently turned into hedges.
Even the small black flag army, with many veterans as the backbone, was too determined to face the combat power displayed by the Jurchen.
And the Jurchens, especially the elite Jurchens under Wanyan Loushi's command, were never afraid of battle. They are also powerful soldiers who ran rampant in the world. After destroying the Liao Dynasty, they swept the Wu Dynasty twice like the autumn wind swept the leaves. Now they are frequently provoked by the opponent in such a corner in the northwest. Although they usually encounter weak opponents, they are not ashamed to retreat. , At this time, the hard bones are gnawed, but it is often inevitable that blood will flow up.
After all, when necessary, the courage to fight without hesitation is also the reason why Jurchen can sweep the world.
In the first few days, there were endless tearing and slaughtering. Since it was not a large-scale corps melee, neither side took these fights as a formal battle, but the willpower of each side was at its peak. In order to avoid the artillery and battle advantages of the Black Banner Army, Wanyan Loushi almost gave the cavalry under his command a death order. No matter what, they were not allowed to rush into the formation. They only needed to harass, transfer, harass, and transfer... Of course, there was no such rigid order. However, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the kite-flying tactics commonly used by the Mongols in later generations will first become proficient in Lou Shi's hands.
The main force of the Black Flag Army was just pushing hard with the iron barrel-like formation ability. In a sense, Lou Shi is constantly adapting to the play style of this elite army with artillery. Qin Shaoqian is also trying his best to understand the strength of this army. As Ning Yi said in Xiao Canghe, Before using the odd one, you have to cook the positive side first.
Even though they are accompanying the growth of this army every day, Qin Shaoqian and others have actually not yet figured out where the potential and limits of this batch of troops that have been tempered with new training methods can reach. .
Looking back after a long time, the confrontation that suddenly broke out in the northwest land, the two forces that were initially displayed are already the peak forces of the army in this era, and the frictions large and small within two or three days, the strength and tenacity shown by the two sides , are not inferior to any army in the same period, and the intensity of the battle is amazing. It's just that at the moment of the battle, the two sides are just making moves according to the situation and have not considered this.
On the evening of August 29th, the autumn rain fell, and on the side of the battlefield during the forced march, several teams of the Black Flag Army realized that the heavy rain would wipe out the advantage of firearms, so they simply chose to lure the enemy. And a Jurchen team of about 1,000 people, led by the general Axibao, also seized the opportunity to brazenly launched a charge. The melee between the two sides lasted for more than ten miles, and some people on both sides were separated from the brigade during the battle. .
On the same night, more things are happening. That is a force that plays a decisive role in the northwest land. A few days after receiving the order from Wanyan Loushi to send troops, Zhejia, who had always been ambiguous in this place, made a move.
Under Zhe Keqiu's order, Linzhou, Fuzhou, Fengzhou, Qingjian and other places began a large-scale arrest of Zhuji members in the city who were inciting anti-gold.
At the same time, Zhe Keqiu mobilized the elite of the 40,000 Zhe family to lead the army in person, with Zhe Yanzhi as his deputy, and attacked in the direction of the Gyeongju battlefield, showing his attitude of supporting Wanyan Loushi.
Not many people can clearly grasp Zhe Keqiu's thoughts at this time, but if he looks from the back to the front, his choice was not without clues before.
When the Jurchen went south for the first time, the Zhong family army supported the capital, and the Zhe family army also sent troops. Zhe Keqiu's choice at that time was to cooperate with Liu Guangshi to rescue Taiyuan. In this battle, the two were defeated by Wanyan Zonghan near Tianmen Pass. After this great defeat, Bianliang made a rescue, Qin Siyuan and others wrote a letter requesting to send troops to Taiyuan, and Zhe Keqiu also handed over the same. After that, the Zhe Family Army had sent troops to rescue Taiyuan twice, but they were eventually defeated because they couldn't defeat the Jurchen.
Later, when Taiyuan fell, Ning Yi rebelled, the Jurchen attacked Bianliang for the second time, the Chongjia army still sent troops, and the Zhejia still only paid attention to the battles in Fuzhou and other places and the front line of Taiyuan, and fought extremely conservatively. Next, the Xixia people invaded south, and the Zhe family army, who was supposed to protect the northwest, saw the farmer's family being destroyed, so they just defended their own one-third of an acre of land and did not send troops.
This time Lou Shi came, the Chong family refused to surrender, and the Zhe family agreed verbally, but they were unwilling to send troops to attack the northwest for Lou Shi. However, no one expected that the Zhe family army, who was unwilling to be dispatched when Loushi was going smoothly, chose to stand on the side of Jurchen when the Loushi army encountered a problem.
August 30, autumn rain. If the addition of the Zhejia Army means that there is no middle ground in the entire northwest, the hedging and fighting in the center of the Gyeongju battlefield is even more tragic. Following the rain, Wanyan Loushi gathered his infantry and launched a large-scale recoil towards the advancing Black Flag Army.
Huangyangling in Gyeongju. On the edge of the high loess slope, the terrain is complex, and among the mountains, hills, and valleys, the main armies of the two sides fought in several places. Wanyan Loushi's use of troops is huge, and the soldiers under his command are indeed elites on the battlefield. The Black Flag Army chose a conservative formation battle for the first time. However, in fact, in the four points of the battle, there are three false and one solid. On the battlefield of the four regiments on the side of the mountain, which was blocked by the forest, Wanyan Loushi personally led the soldiers to launch repeated attacks.
After the battle went on for more than an hour, the formation of the four regiments was torn apart in several places. The Jurchen charge spread, and Sun Ye, the head of the Fourth Regiment, led his personal guards to resist, barely maintaining the situation for a while, but he was finally killed and retreated again and again. It was not until the special regiment that was in the vicinity gave full support that some of the soldiers who had fallen into a dead end were rescued.
In a sense, Qin Shaoqian, who was in command of the army at this time, or the generals who commanded each regiment, were not mediocre, and among the people of the Wu Dynasty, they were also considered top-notch. However, the situation that the Wu Dynasty army faced in the past many years was very different from the current situation. When they faced the strongest Jurchen generals who started from scratch and experienced countless battles, after a few days of advancing, In the application of the art of war, they finally lost a child.
The tenacity of the soldiers themselves did not make the situation too bad, and at the remaining points, the Jurchen army, which was trying to feint, was dragged into a fierce battle, causing a lot of casualties. But in the same way, the fourth regiment of the Black Flag Army suffered more than half of the casualties, and Sun Ye, the general who rushed in front, was seriously injured. After he was rescued, he was almost dying.
The Jurchen army retreated, and the Black Flag Army continued to advance. Sun Ye and a group of the injured were temporarily left near Huangyangling, and the later Zhongjia Army striker took over the rescue. That night, in the grass hut near Huangyangling, Sun Ye finally woke up. He is from Yingchuan, Xuzhou, forty-seven years old. He is good at planning. When he woke up, two personal guards were guarding him. Sun Ye asked them about the situation ahead, and he knew that the loss of Jurchen's combat power was not necessarily worse than that of the black flag. Jun Xiao, just nodded and blinked.
He seemed to be looking for his own thoughts in an extremely weak situation, and only spoke softly after a long time.
He said: "I waited for the rebellion to kill the monarch. Later, I often discussed whether it was right... But with soldiers like you, I think it may be right, Mr. Ning, he... "
Sun Ye looked ahead and blinked again, but there was no focus in his eyes. He was so calm for a moment: "I'm stupid in using soldiers, and it's not a pity to die... It's a pity... so fast..."
When the voice got here, it weakened, and the last thing he said was: "... I can't see the future, you can see it for me."
The wind whimpered, and the cries of two soldiers who had experienced many fierce battles followed.
Long song to cry. That night, the news of Sun Ye's death spread to the front line where the black flag was spreading. In the following days, the surviving soldiers of the Fourth Regiment would wrap white cloth strips on their arms when charging.
More intense and omnipotent confrontations and fights took place every day after that. Both sides were almost gritting their teeth to test the limits of their will. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a battle situation. He participated in the fight several times and was said to be in a very happy mood. At the same time, the battle on the outside has also exploded like a volcano. After Chong Lie sent someone to negotiate with Zhe Keqiu, his face was torn apart. The two western armies fought for the first time on the second day of September.
This is the troubled world that has come. Only in the northwest, hundreds of thousands of people from all parties involved in the vortex, plus the unfortunate civilians who are in it, even as many as hundreds of thousands of chaotic killings, it seems that the chaotic killing has just begun... (.)
