Chapter 252 Bloody Battle at Yuwangtai
Bloody battles, every day, there are bloody battles, and the entire Central Plains are full of smoke. From Jingdong East Road to Jingdong East Road, almost every county is full of smoke, and every county is full of war. The Jin cavalry is raging everywhere, and the rebels are everywhere. Every inch of land is covered with blood, broken arms and limbs are everywhere, and the rolling heads are like mice that make people shudder and creepy.
Rebels from all over the country rushed to the capital to serve the king and rescue the emperor. Although they had been treated unfairly before, everyone believed that with the King of Qin, all unfair treatment would not exist, and His Highness of the King of Qin would not let the patriotic righteous men suffer losses.
The King of Qin ordered that all the rebels who came to serve the king and rescue the emperor were incorporated into the imperial guards, and the treatment was equivalent to that of the imperial guards, and the distribution of equipment and military pay. The leader promoted the military achievements based on the number of subordinates.
In the hearts of the rebel generals, the King of Qin is the existence of the savior, and the King of Qin's decree is more effective than the imperial edict. However, disharmonious factors always exist. How could the officials and men of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Privy Council recognize the rebel army, and how could they easily allocate funds? Unable to get military pay, the equipment rebel army began to cause trouble and began to steal villages. In this case, the King of Qin ordered the execution of hundreds of officials, including the Minister of Revenue and the Three Doctors of the Ministry of War, all of whom were beheaded. This stabilized the situation and stabilized the heart of the rebel army. At the same time, it was also considered anger by public anger, and the battle with the civil servant group gradually began.
At the beginning of the war, Jiang Zhong was ready. He knew that it was not difficult to defeat the Jin army. The key was that these civil servant groups were too constrained. In this case, it was safer to adopt a defensive stance.
Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road were attacked by the Jin army at the same time, and the two places were lost. Even Jingji Road still became an area where the Jin cavalry stepped on. Above the war, there were refugees running around everywhere on the ground. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a barren land and a river of blood flowing into a river.
Every night in the city of Bianliang under the war, it makes people unable to calm down. At this time, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji completely regretted it. Since he had passed the throne to his son Zhao Huan and had already arrived in Jiangnan, why did he still have to come back? He still suffered such torture. When will this kind of day begin?
Countless nights woke up from nightmare, and hatred arises naturally. At this time, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji began to hate Jiang Zhong, hating the traitor who promoted him and took away many of his daughters. If it weren't for Jiang Zhong's ambition, he wouldn't have returned to the capital in a confused manner, nor would he live in Longde Palace and suffer every day.
Of course, King Jiang Zhong of Qin did not know that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji began to resent him. He had suffered a lot in the past ten days. After occupying Hebei Road, the Jin army plundered a large number of siege equipment. The original divine arm crossbow, bed crossbow, firearm and other killing weapons were no longer a secret, and had fallen into the hands of the Jin army. Now the Jin army's offensive momentum was even more rapid, almost invincible and invincible. If the city of Bianliang City was not too tall and the city was well prepared for sufficient equipment to defend the city, Bianliang City might not be able to stand it. Although the city is now defending, the periphery is still vulnerable. If this continues, at most, hundreds of thousands of rebels outside the city will be slaughtered at three months. At that time, Bianliang City will become an isolated city.
Gongsun Sheng, the dragon of the Yunlong, stood in front of the Qin King for a long time. He didn't know what to say, but he didn't dare to leave, so he could only stand foolishly. Xiao Rang frowned even more. It seemed that this saint-hand scholar was under a lot of pressure.
King Jiang Zhong of Qin finally put down the battle report in his hand. He looked at Gongsun Sheng, the military advisor, the battle situation outside is very unoptimistic now. The Lone King wants to go out of the city to meet the Jin army for a while. What do you think?"
Before Gongsun Sheng could speak, Xiao Rang hurriedly said, "Lord, no, the situation in the city is very delicate now. After you lead your army out of the city and defeat the Jin army, you may be abandoned by the government, and eventually the entire army will be wiped out. If you cannot defeat the Jin army, it will become the last straw that crushes the Song Dynasty. At that time, even the Daluo Jinxian could not reverse it."
Jiang Zhong sighed to the sky, and he said in a heavy tone: "A few years ago, the Lone King began to plan the Tokyo Defense War. However, when the war really came, the Lone King was not determined and could not let the people of the world bear the suffering brought by the war for his own imperial hegemony. Now the Jin army outside the city is burning, killing and looting every day. How can you let the Lone King bear it?"
A general succeeded and thousands of bones were undone. Gongsun Sheng did not think that there was anything wrong with stepping on the bodies of countless people to succeed. He also firmly believed that the King of Qin could do anything to achieve his goal. However, today, when he saw the King of Qin compassion for the world and caring for the people of the world, he finally understood that the King of Qin had sublimated from domineering to the king's way.
Xiao Rang knew that it was difficult for him to convince his lord, so he kept winking at Xiao Rang, hoping that the other party could help him and everyone would convince the King of Qin together.
After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Sheng from the Dragon of the Yunlong said, "Lord, if you cannot take that step, even if you defeat the Jin army, you will not be able to escape the fate of being cleansed. At that time, the Jin army will still be able to destroy the Song Dynasty for the third time. The building will be collapsed, not by manpower. Besides, if the upper and lower levels cannot unite against the enemy and unite to the outside world, relying solely on the new army, even with the cooperation of the Shenwei Army and the Guards, it is almost impossible to repel the Jin army outside the city of Bianliang. Now the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Privy Council are constantly restraining, and the court is in a mess. How can you go against the will of heaven by your own strength?"
Jiang Zhong understands the great truth, but as a time traveler in later generations, he cannot face the fate of a large number of ordinary people being tortured every day. These days, it can be said that every day is suffering. His whole body is very nervous and he wants to collapse at any time.
Xiao Rang continued: "Lord, I am responsible for the dispatch of money, grain, weapons and other materials to support the rebels outside the city. However, when withdrawing money, the civil servants kept playing the ball, and they did not allocate money, and did not recognize your order from the King of Qin. If we had not mobilized millions of stagnants of money and one million stones of food from the King of Qin's inner trunk, Bianliang would have been conquered by the Jin army long ago. But this is not a long-term solution. This internal friction would kill the Song Dynasty, or the Shenwei Army. Is it difficult for the lord to give all his troops to be slaughtered by the imperial guards?"
Jiang Zhong was silent. It really hurt the people. But he was slaughtered by the fact that he was slaughtered. Is it rare that he really didn't feel sorry for him? Where to go, his heart was as clear as a mirror, but he couldn't get through emotionally for a while.
Seeing that the lord was shaken, Gongsun Sheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "Now the battle on the Western Front has begun. Wanyan Silver Skill can fail to attack Taiyuan City in succession. Although Wanyan Zonghan occupied several prefectures and counties on Hedong Road, he actually did not plunder the population or wealth. In this case, Taiyuan was conquered, and what he would definitely be the bad luck of massacre. You must know that there are more than 400,000 people in the city? Only after victory can the Song Dynasty be preserved, and hundreds of millions of creatures can be protected. The consequences of the defeat are unimaginable."
"Well! Time is endless!" Jiang Zhong's fist hit the table hard, and he said meaningfully: "Zhao Song has exhausted his energy. For the sake of the people of the world and for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the Lone King decided to defeat the Jin army and protect the rivers and mountains of our Han family."
"I hope to follow the lord to conquer all directions and spread the world on behalf of others." Gongsun Sheng and Xiao Rang knelt on the ground. At this moment, they showed a knowing smile on their faces. The lord had already stepped onto the chariot and could never get off again.
Since he made up his mind, Jiang Zhong did not hesitate. He said, "Let's divide the labor. Xiao Qing's family should deal with the problems with the civil servants. If there is any need to cooperate, let Shi Qian's Golden Dog Guard do it. If you obey me, you will prosper, and if you go against me, you will perish. If you want to deal with the military advisors, everything will be based on defeating the Jin army. Let's discuss the specific details again, and implement them immediately if there is no problem."
As a time traveler, Jiang Zhong knew the general context of history and also knew how miserable the Jingkang shame was. Now he was working hard to correct this historical error, and of course some characters still had to abandon it.
The pressure on the Jin army's head coach Wanyan Zongwang was getting stronger and stronger. Although he had been going south, he was actually unable to seriously damage the elite soldiers under Jiang Zhong. To put it bluntly, no matter how many rebels were killed, the Song army could not ensure the final victory. If the Western Army could not be wiped out completely, there would be a bloody battle in the end.
The army surrounded Bianliang City. Although the catapults continued to attack the city with large stones every day, and even smashed the arrow towers on the city, and most of the female walls were destroyed. However, once the Jin army soldiers launched an attack, the defenders on the city would appear in time, and the two sides fought back and forth. The city had been stained with blood long ago, and the walls had long become hell on earth, but Bianliang City was still unstoppable and the battle could not end.
Marshal Wanyan Xie will go south even soon, which means that Wanyan Zongwang's command will be deprived. In this case, he decided to go all out. On the one hand, he ordered the Golden Wolf Guard to hurry up and buy civil servants who are afraid of life and death to persuade them to surrender. On the other hand, he ordered Wanyan Jiemu to strengthen the attack on Yuwangtai, Wanyan Zongbi took the Longting and Wanyan Zongqing took the Chenliu County. He wanted to complete the defense of Bianliang, sweep the Song army and rebel army around Bianliang, and prepare for the final general attack.
The bloody battle was about to begin at the Yuwangtai. Pang Wanchun was the master of guarding the Yuwangtai. He originally did not think of fighting the Jin army immediately according to his original strategic intentions. It was just a mobile force. However, now the Jin army is coming to the door and cannot escape. Therefore, the most cruel bloody battle in the defense of the capital was launched at the Yuwangtai.
Pang Wanchun received the order from the King of Qin to destroy the 30,000 Jin army brought by Wanyan Jiemu and to attack the arrogant arrogance of the Jin army. Now, the 30,000 Shenwei army is fighting against the 30,000 Jurchen warriors. It can be said that it is a even-match battle between dragons and tigers, but the order from the King of Qin is to wipe out the enemy completely, which is a test of Pang Wanchun's wisdom.
Pang Wanchun has always been very clear-headed. He knew that as long as he annihilated Wanyan Jiemu's 30,000 Jin troops this time, he had a high chance of being named the champion general of the third rank and serving as the pacification envoy. As long as King Cheng of Qin ascended the throne, he would be promoted to Duke of the Kingdom, but this battle was not easy to fight.
Pang Wanchun is one thing better than Hua Rong, that is, he can recognize the situation, take advantage of the situation, and has a better view of the overall situation. This time, the decree of the King of Qin is very clear, that is, to completely wipe out Wanyan Jiemu and defend the Yuwang Terrace. As for whether he only relies on the 30,000 Shenwei army, it is not clear. Of course, whether other troops can be invited to participate in the war is also a problem.
The terrain of Yuwangtai is very strange, and the central area is obviously much higher than the surrounding areas. In other words, the Shenwei cavalry, as the defender's will, can maximize the advantages of cavalry charge, and the Jin army, as the attacking side, must attack from the back, so that the cavalry's impact speed will obviously slow down a lot.
Around Bianliang City, the highest terrain belongs to the Yuwangtai, and there are enough trees and stones here to maintain the Jin army's siege, which is why both sides are competing for this place.
In typical offensive and defensive battles now, there is no plan at all. It depends on which side of the offensive and defensive are more well-equipped, more powerful combat power, and more fighting spirit.
The seconded general Leopard Head Lin Chong suggested defending the Yuwangtai to the highest point. Even if the Jin army is strong in combat, it will be difficult to attack the Yuwangtai.
Pang Wanchun denied the other party's proposal. What he had to do this time was not to defend the Yuwangtai, but to wipe out the Jin army. How could he let the other party attack him? Blind defense would make the soldiers lose their desire to fight and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. This time, not only would he have to attack, but he would also have to attack the Jin army openly and openly, and to see how strong the Jin army's combat effectiveness is. Then, the saying "The Jin army is only ten thousand, and it is invincible to defeat it" is really effective.
In order to stimulate the other party, Pang Wanchun secretly contacted Zhang Kai's Pili Army and Zhe Yanwu's Demon War Group, while actively deploying a bloody battle, he also secretly sent someone to contact Yue Fei.
After everything was ready, Pang Wanchun sent Niu Gao to the Jin army camp to issue a letter of war. He instructed: "If the Jin army wants to see the momentum of the Shenwei army, we must also protect ourselves. Jiao Ting performed well at the beginning, laying a firm foundation for the Battle of Wuzhou. In this battle of Yuwangtai, you are a special envoy, and your aura determines the final direction of the battlefield."
Niu Gao and Jiao Ting are a pair of live treasures. The two of them have similar combat power, and they both belong to the rough and brainless type. Of course, brainlessness is an illusion. The two are definitely examples of playing pigs and eating tigers.
Wanyan Jiemu did not expect that the other party would issue a letter of war, so she decided to give the messenger a warning. He ordered the knife and axe formation, and set up a large oil pan, and light matches below, as if hinting at the hindrance and throwing the envoy of the Song Dynasty into the oil pan.
Since Niu Gao first appeared on the battlefield in Liaodong, he has experienced countless fierce battles and has long put life and death aside. I don’t know how many times he has been wandering around at the Ghost Gate, so how could he keep the oil pan in his eyes?
Looking at the hot oil pan and the fierce Jin army, Niu Gao refused to turn his head. In his eyes, these guys were destined to twist their heads.
Niu Gao walked towards the central army's tent, and said disdainfully: "You damn guys should all put in the oil pan to show their skills. However, you will not live for a few days. Once the war begins, I'm afraid that your bastards will be used as chamber pots."
After walking into the central army tent, Niu Gao did not take Wanyan Jiemu, who was sitting behind the commander's case, and the guy shook his head and said, "My head coach asked the general to give up a letter of war. Three days later, the decisive battle will be held. Thirty thousand Shenwei troops will fight against your 30,000 Jin troops. This time we must wipe out all of you and cut off your heads as urinals."
Wanyan Jiemu didn't expect that the other party was a naughty man and spoke in a brainless manner. He smiled and said, "Since you are a messenger, then take out the war letter written by your head?"
"What kind of challenge book? The decisive battle will be wiped out in three days. You are the war book of our heads." Niu Gao didn't know a lot of words, so how could there be a written war book? He patted his big belly and said, "Our heads and generals said, "If you can't wipe out your entire battle, then he will hand over the seal of the handsome man and become a monk. So you should prepare your head as a urinary."
The scholar met a soldier and couldn't explain it clearly. Wanyan Jiemu didn't know what to say. Anyway, it would be a decisive battle in three days, and then we will see who is so powerful.
For some reason, Niu Gao did not leave immediately. The guy looked at Wanyan Jiemu coldly and said in a disdainful tone: "At that time, our prince hunted so many of you warriors alone. Today, I want to try it. I wonder if you would give me this opportunity?"
Why are the Western Army all the two-five eyes? Last time Jiao Ting saw Wanyan Zonghan so arrogant and ignorant. Today, this big black man is still like this. Wanyan Ja's mother was so angry that her nose was crooked. However, he also knew that the two countries would not kill the envoys, so he could only blast Niu Gao out and said, "If you want to really compete with our Great Jin Warriors, then meet on the battlefield and see who two of us treat each other's heads as urinals."
"Okay, I'll cut off your head as a urinal myself." Niu Gao seemed very proud. After Jiao Ting's mission to the Jin army camp, he showed off in front of this guy for a long time. This time he also wanted to be majestic.
After Niu Gao came back to report, Pang Wanchun smiled so hard that he said with a smile: "You are borrowed by General Yue from General Yue, I can't control you, but if you really have the ability to twist Wanyan Jiemu's head off as a urinary, I will recommend you to upgrade to three levels in a row and give you another 5,000 taels of silver."
"I will definitely win your five thousand taels of silver." Niu Gao walked out with great strides. The black charcoal head was full of thought about how to cut off Wanyan Jiemu's head, as if this was the only task.
Pang Wanchun was completely speechless about Niu Gao. He knew that this was a bad battle, a head-on duel, and there was no conspiracy to use. Now it depends on how he used the cooperation of each unit.
Military advisor Wu Yong served as military advisor and marching Sima this time, and he still told his plan. Although it was a head-on frontal fight, the order and position of each branch appeared had a great impact on the entire battle situation.
Wu Yong pointed to the map and said, "On the surface, the terrain of the Yuwangtai is just as high as the center and low around it. In fact, there is still something to do. The Jin army is in our west, and our army attacks from the top and the Jin army attacks from the top and the Jin army attacks from the top. It seems that our army's attack is unstoppable and takes advantage of it. However, even if we defeat the Jin army and want to wipe it out completely, our army will suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, as long as we lure the Jin army to the near the valley of the Yuwangding, Yue Fei's army cooperates with the Zheyanwu's War Demon Group to cut off its retreat, our army blocks the front, and the open Pili army launches an attack from the woods on the north side of the Yuwangding to ensure that the 30,000 Jin troops are wiped out."
"Military advisor, you are right. Will the Jin army be fooled?" Pang Wanchun had thought of setting up an ambush in the Yuwang Ding, but the Shenwei army was as many as the Jin army, and the combat power was not much different. Will the cunning Wanyan Jiemu be fooled by luring the enemy into depth? He was silent for a moment and said, "Wanyan Jiemu has been through the battle formation for a long time and is cunning, so he will not be fooled easily."
"He couldn't help but be fooled." Wu Yong seemed very confident. He pointed to the map and said, "There is only a five-meter-wide official road in the west of Yuwangtai. It looks flat. The difference in height of the terrain is not very different. It will not suffer too much loss from the bottom. Other places are not suitable for attacking upwards. Our army widens the front line, divides the troops into three groups, and the three armies advance in unison. As long as the distance between the two north and south and the middle army is wider, leave this less obvious flaw to the enemy. Wanyan Jiemu, who is as careful as silk, will definitely find out and make adjustments in time. Don't forget that Niu Gao's arrogance after entering the Jin camp angered Wanyan Jiemu, giving this guy an illusion that the generals and officials of this army are very arrogant. Leaving this flaw is not because you didn't expect it, but because you were too arrogant and negligent. Therefore, with Niu Gao's arrogance first, everything will go smoothly later."
Yes! What kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers? It seems that Niu Gao is his deputy general. After Pang Wanchun made up his mind, he immediately deployed it. Anyway, there is enough time to deploy it.
The moment of the decisive battle finally came. Pang Wanchun was in charge of the rear, with nine thousand soldiers as reserve troops. Yang Zaixing led the seven thousand Shenwei army to attack from the south, and the young general Gao Chong led the seven thousand Shenwei army to attack from the north. Niu Gao was led by the central government, but the order this guy received was that after an hour of fierce battle, he must retreat to the Yuwang Ding, and that Wanyan Jiemu could not see the flaws. If Wanyan Jiemu was not deceived, he would chop his black head as a chamber pot.
As the three troops of the Shenwei Army, which were mainly attacking, rushed towards the mountain like three arrows. This cavalry should be the most elite cavalry under the command of the Qin King. He followed the Qin King to fight south and north, and his combat power was extremely strong. It was also the only team in the Song Dynasty that dared to fight head-on with the Jin cavalry.
Wanyan Jiemu, who is the main guard, is under great pressure. The commander Wanyan Zongwang has already issued a death order to take down the Yuwang Terrace at any cost. The 30,000 elite soldiers under his command are also the only cavalry team composed of all Jurchen warriors in the Eastern Jin army. They have extremely strong combat power. Most of them have participated in the First Invasion of Song Dynasty, and one-third have participated in the battle to destroy the Liao Kingdom.
Wanyan Jiemu was a man who planned and moved later. He had long investigated the terrain, but because the Yuwang Ding area was within the control of the Song army, he was not very familiar with it, but he was very familiar with the place where the battle was fought.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Wanyan Jiemu has prepared three sets of combat plans, which depends on how the Song army sent troops to make adjustments, and which plan is preferable to use. He was angry by Niu Gao's arrogance and secretly decided to wipe out the Song army in this battle and take down the Yuwangtai.
Wanyan Jiemu was very smart and used troops like a god, but after all, she had never fought head-on with the Shenwei Army. Her impression of the Shenwei Army was still based on other Song troops, but was composed of cavalry and her combat power was slightly stronger.
As expected, three routes of attack were attacking, and the three routes of troops advanced in unison. It seemed that the Song army commander Pang Wanchun still blindly believed this cavalry and really believed that such a charge could defeat the Jin cavalry? At this time, Wanyan Jiemu's evaluation of Pang Wanchun was much lower in his heart. Not only that, he soon discovered a small flaw in the Song army's marching, that is, the advancement speed of the middle route was obviously slower than that of the north and south routes, which may be related to the narrow official road and the slightly flat terrain.
In the duel between the two armies, a small flaw will lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Wanyan Jiemu believed it very much. He also thought of this possibility when he was deploying. He quickly made a decision and this time he wanted to kill the Yuwangtai.
Wanyan Jiemu ordered the use of the third plan. Wanyan Dongqing led 3,000 cavalry to defend the northern line, Wanyan Xiliang led 3,000 cavalry to defend the southern line, and he himself led 24,000 elite troops to forcibly attack from the middle road, and to fight to the Yuwangtai in one go.
The main defense is not very suitable for the Jin cavalry who are good at attacking. However, three thousand are against seven thousand. If you want to avoid being annihilated, defending is the best choice.
The three thousand cavalry led by Wanyan Dongqing faced Yang Zaixing, the first magic spear of the Song Dynasty, and the two armies quickly fought together. Both main generals used iron spears, and they were directly bombing. The two were killed and could not be separated. The two teams were in chaos and had no rules. They were purely head-on.
The young player Gao Chong faced Wanyan Xiliang head-on, but the two did not collide. This Wanyan Xiliang was cunning and had a direct relationship. He had heard that the young player Gao Chong had hunted the Jin army warrior Wanyan Zhijiu. How could he choose to fight head-on in this situation?
Wanyan Xiliang's strategy is to use the coverage of bows and arrows to strengthen the intensity of defense and delay the opponent's attack. However, the dive of seven thousand cavalry from top to bottom is not something that can be resisted by the coverage of bows and arrows. The two teams collided in less than a quarter of an hour, and the killing was difficult to solve.
After hunting Wanyan for a long time, the young general Gao Chong lost the fun of hunting the Jin army generals, so he chose to hunt small soldiers, as if he was killing monsters and was more concerned about the number of hunting.
Wanyan Xiliang did not have such strong combat power and did not dare to rashly fight against the young general Gao Chong. The two seemed to have a very tacit understanding and did not fight together from beginning to end.
Chapter completed!
