Chapter 461 0456 [Brilliant achievements and heavy losses]

PreviousBack to directoryNext
At the end of the first round of hedging, Wanyan Zongjun was forced to abandon his gun and pulled out an iron bone flower as a weapon.

Because his left arm was broken by Ju Ming, and his right waist was stabbed by Chen Ziyi. Even if he fights with one arm wielding the bone, it is extremely difficult, and every time he exerts force, the waist wound will be pulled.

Yang Yun and Geng Zhongnian's cavalry came from two directions and formed a very dense formation, completely blocking the escorting army's charging space.

Wanyan Zongjun could only ride in a small circle, swinging the iron bone flower with all his strength. The wound on his waist continued to seep blood, and from time to time he touched the broken bone of his left arm. He almost fainted due to the severe pain.

He had been shot several times, and was protected by heavy armor. However, his strength gradually disappeared due to excessive bleeding.

After Yang Yun, a young Qiang general, killed an escort, he finally approached Wanyan Zongjun. Seeing that the enemy general's left arm was hanging down, he stopped attacking his vital points and instead swung the barrel of his gun and hit his broken arm.

"ah!"

Wanyan Zongjun had been gritting his teeth to bear the pain, and finally he couldn't help but scream.

Another Han cavalryman took the opportunity to stab Wanyan Zongjun at the intersection, trying to stab Wanyan Zongjun in the throat.

Wanyan Zongjun endured the severe pain to dodge the spear tip and slide it against the item.

Another spear stabbed his chest, but it was still blocked by the heavy armor. Wanyan Zongjun was even able to use his strength to smash the spear away, and urged his horse to step forward in an attempt to continue the fight.

These escort troops were surrounded and killed by enemies four times their own size, and their horses lost room to move. They still continued to fight with their heavy armor.

The musketeers seemed to have no effect, but a single volley earlier killed more than forty enemy cavalry and wounded more than ten. The damage they caused to the escorting army was comparable to that of Yang Yun and Geng Zhongnian who led their troops to fight for a long time.

Seeing that he could not break the enemy general's defense, Yang Yun urged his horses to get closer. He relied on his superb equestrian skills to reach half of his body out. He reached out and grabbed Wanyan Zongjun's hanging severed arm, and yanked it towards him.

The enemy general screamed in pain again and his body fell to the side involuntarily.

Another cavalry took the opportunity to draw a gun, and the tip of the gun was pressed against the intersection of Dunxiang, and then he stabbed it hard inside.

"puff!"

The fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom finally died, with a big hole poked in his throat.

Zhu Ming led his troops to counterattack, but was blocked by a group of escort troops and could no longer approach Wanyan Zongjun. He only avoided blunt weapon attacks, allowing the enemy's sharp weapons to stab him, and then swung his maces to hit him left and right.

I don’t know how many spears were pierced on Ju Ming’s Heavenly King Armor. Just like Wanyan Zongjun, nothing happened after he was shot.

Instead, it was Ju Ming's two maces, one of which hit him, causing death or injury.

At this point in the siege, the escorting army had actually collapsed. The reason they hadn't fled yet was because there was no place to escape. With four times the number of troops surrounding them, they were enemies no matter where they fled, and they were forced to fight to the bitter end.

Deng Chun also used a double mace. He already had an advantage against the Jin Kingdom's ordinary cavalry, but the subsequent attack of four hundred escort troops made it very difficult for them to deal with it.

Until Pharmacist Guo joins the battlefield!

This fierce general, who had rebelled countless times, led his troops to rush towards the rear of the 400 escort troops. After charging closer, Guo Yaoshi abandoned his spear and picked up the iron bone flower to attack.

Deng Chun was startled at first and thought that Medicine Master Guo was coming to kill him. When he saw the direction of Medicine Master Guo's attack, he suddenly felt extremely outrageous and delighted.

Before the four hundred escort troops were blocked, some people kept retreating and rushing out of the encirclement, and then rushed back to cover the friendly forces. They had suffered defeats in the past, and they would alternately cover and retreat in this way. After most of them had withdrawn, they would start again.

The entire team organizes an attack.

Medicine Master Guo was very familiar with this. He urged his horses to stick tightly, not giving the escorting troops who had broken through the encirclement a chance to turn around and fight.

"Poof!"

Deng Chun struck out with his mace. General Hanpu Lijin was hit with a dent in his chest because he was not wearing heavy armor.

The battle is basically over, and all that's left is encirclement and pursuit.

Of the three to four thousand cavalry brought by Wanyan Zongjun, except for Guo Yaoshi who led his troops to defect, only a dozen light cavalry managed to escape, and not a single one of the escorting troops was left dead.

"The sinner Guo Yaoshi, please bow to the Grand Marshal Lang Jun!"

Medical Master Guo got off his horse and knelt down to kowtow to Ju Ming.

Zhu Ming was covered in blood at this time. He looked at Pharmacist Guo who was kneeling down to take action. His emotions were complicated and very embarrassing.

To accept or not to accept?

Can you surrender yourself?

According to the secret letter sent by Li Bangyan, Medical Master Guo kept the Liao costumes after surrendering to the Song Dynasty to show that he was a nostalgic person.

Regarding this practice, Song Huizong first commended him for his loyalty, and later asked the civil servants to persuade him to change his clothes. It was not until Wang Anzhong was recalled to Tokyo and Cai Jing took over as the prefect of Yanshan that he finally succeeded in getting Guo Pharmacist to change to Han clothes.

Less than half a year after the change, this product has already dropped in price.

And it was still the same old routine, insisting on wearing Han clothes in the Jin Dynasty. It was not until he was deprived of the command of the infantry and ordered to be the vanguard to attack the Song Dynasty that Guo Yaoshi quickly changed into a Jin man.

What an ill-fed wolf!

But Yaoshi Guo voluntarily defected and made considerable military exploits. He couldn't refuse to take him in and force him to surrender to the Song Dynasty, right? Killing him directly would be even more nonsense. There is no reason to kill indiscriminately those who had surrendered and made meritorious service.

Medicine Master Guo was kneeling on the ground at this moment, beating a drum in his heart. He had betrayed his master too many times, and he was afraid that he would be jealous of Ju Ming because of this.

After waiting for a long time, Ju Ming put away his visor and necklace, took off his helmet and turned over to the ground.

Bai Sheng ran over to help him remove his armor.

While taking off his armor, Ju Ming said: "Get up and speak, and call the officers under your command."

"Thank you Marshal Langjun!"

Pharmacist Guo was immediately overjoyed and asked the messenger to summon his officers, and the lower-level soldiers subconsciously moved closer.

Zhu Ming said loudly: "I am a Han, and you are also Han from the North. We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang people, and we should be one family. The Khitan has occupied Youyun for more than a hundred years, so it is understandable that you have served a foreign race."

After hearing this, Medical Master Guo and his soldiers felt that Marshal Zhu was very reasonable and they were willing to accept Han'er's identity.

Zhu Ming added: "You used to be resentful soldiers. The Lord of Liao is too stupid to let you live a good life. We can only unite to protect your lives. It is understandable that you betrayed the Lord and surrendered to the Song Dynasty."

Everyone listened quietly and thought that Marshal Zhu was considerate and spoke to their hearts.

Zhu Ming changed the subject: "Although the Lord of Song is mediocre, he treats you very well. Why do you have to surrender gold to Song?"

Pharmacist Guo explained: "Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Yanshan, snared and killed the surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom without authorization because of the reproach of the Jin people, which chilled the hearts of us Liao Han people. We also fought with our lives for Zhao and Song, and almost set fire to the Jin army's fortress, but were killed by friendly forces.

Betrayed and put himself in danger. After returning to the city, Cai Jing did not punish those who deserted before the battle. Those bird men conspired to pay the gold, and the ever-victorious army in Yanjing would inevitably be unable to defend itself due to internal strife, and we could only be forced to surrender to the Jin men."

Ju Ming asked: "If I treat you well in the future and you encounter a certain death situation, will you also abandon me and surrender to the enemy?"

"Don't you dare!" Medicine Master Guo knelt down quickly and the soldiers behind him followed suit.

Guo Yaoshi explained: "Marshal Lang Jun, who is good at teaching, knows that from top to bottom, the victorious army has never been afraid of fighting on the battlefield, and is willing to sacrifice his life no matter who he serves as a soldier. He turned his back on the Liao Kingdom because the nobles of the Liao Kingdom were persecuted too much, and they were completely

They did not leave us a way to survive. We turned our backs on the Song Dynasty because its monarchs and ministers were ignorant and their rewards and punishments were unclear. We fought to the death to kill the enemy, but we were treated like deserters. Now we are deserting the Jin Kingdom because the Jin people do not regard us as human beings. First of all,

He separated me from the infantry under his command, went to the battlefield and drove us to die. We tried our best not to frown, but deliberately let us die, but we couldn't stand the cowardice."

Ju Ming said frankly: "You are all straightforward men, and I am also a straight-forward man. Let's make a three-part agreement: first, I can let go of your past matters, but treat them equally in the future; second, you must strictly abide by my military discipline, and any violation will be ignored.

I will deal with those who follow military orders and discipline seriously, especially those who harass the people! Third, General Guo, you can still command the troops, but you and the officers under your command must not show any resistance or disobey orders if you receive orders to go to other troops.

If you don’t comply, I will also install civil servants nearby, and the soldiers’ food and salary will be distributed by my people.”

Does this mean the lifting of military power?

It didn't seem to be the case, so he was allowed to continue leading the troops.

Moreover, after experiencing the Jin people's seizure of military power, Zhu Ming's approach of clearly stating the rules in advance was actually acceptable to Pharmacist Guo.

Ju Ming said: "I am a person with clear grievances. If you can't accept it, you can go to the Song Dynasty now. All officers and soldiers should get out of the way!"

After Ju Ming gave the order, all the troops evacuated, even the soldiers cleaning the battlefield retreated far away.

Pharmacist Guo and his soldiers knelt on the ground, not knowing what to make for a moment.

Ju Ming made it very clear that as long as he surrendered to the warlords, they would not want to be warlords again. They would not have their own territory, and they would have to be obedient in all promotions, demotions, and transfers, and they must strictly abide by military discipline and not harass the people.

Pharmacist Guo had no choice. He had already rebelled against the Jin Kingdom. With the Jin people's attitude toward traitorous generals, he would have to shed his skin even if he returned home.

It was even more impossible to defect to the Song Dynasty. Everyone knew that the Song Dynasty was in ruins.

In addition to seeking refuge with Ju Ming, could he also travel thousands of miles to seek refuge with Xixia?

Medical Master Guo stood up with his soldiers, walked to Ju Ming and knelt down again: "Sinners all listen to Marshal Langjun!"

Zhu Ming then personally helped him up and said with a smile: "I have gained the general, which is like adding wings to a tiger!"

The soldiers who pursued the enemy returned one after another, and the battlefield was almost cleaned. There was no time to count the spoils and losses, so Ju Ming immediately led his troops to leave the battlefield.

After returning home, check carefully.

Of the more than 280 heavy cavalrymen, 98 were killed in battle, and almost all of the rest were injured. There were also more than a dozen seriously wounded whose lives were uncertain. The aggravated casualty rate was close to 40%, and the casualty rate was 100%.

!

Geng Zhongnian's Hebei cavalry lost 107 people in battle, and the death toll rate was about 9%.

Deng Chun's Han and Qiang light cavalry suffered 374 casualties and 153 serious injuries. The rate of casualties and aggravated injuries was about 19%.

There are really heavy casualties, and these are all the treasures that Ju Ming spent a lot of money to train!

Is it worth it? Worth it!

Hezha Meng'an of the Jin Kingdom had only 6,000 men, but in this battle, Ju Ming wiped out 1,000 of them.

Hezha Meng'an is the top elite selected from the best. Even if they are replenished, their combat effectiveness will decrease. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jin does not have sufficient heavy armor at this time, and it is also difficult to replenish the armor of cavalry and war horses. However, Ju Ming captured a large number of war horses and war horses.

armor.

Those Jin soldiers who were lucky enough to escape brought the news back to the Jin camp. After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang almost wanted to withdraw his troops!
