Section 22 The Soldiers Come
Zhang Hao failed to save his father Zhang Xiaochun from Taiyuan, and was always depressed. He looked up to Yang Kefa, Puliu Ru Bosheng and others, "Is it the mission given to him by Wang Jieshuai? That is what my father gave me." After thinking about it, Zhang Hao ordered: "Hu Yangeng was the commander of the Western Army's Mars Duling, Yang Kefa, Bu Lu Guleping, Puliu Ru Bosheng was the commander of the military officers and horses, Hao Siwen and others were the commander of the military officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Xihe Visiting Command, and all the officers and soldiers from all walks of life were obeyed."
In principle, the 28,000 people in Fenzhou are divided into four wings. However, in the face of the great enemy, the 3,000 people brought by Bu Lu Gu Leping are still under his control, and another 4,000 people are added to serve as the backbone of the entire army.
For several days, the Fenzhou garrison was busy unifying the golden drum flags, teaching orders, and repairing fortifications. Zhang Hao rewarded the three armies, and the morale in the city gradually recovered.
By October 12, Wanyan Loushi's army came to the city, and two large camps had been built outside the two gates of Fenzhou City. The camps had only walls on three sides and were against the city wall on the other side. The trees outside the city had been cut down and there was no way to create siege equipment.
Wanyan Loushi Army set up a camp five miles away, and Loushi called Wanyan Huo Nu into his big tent: "Living daughter, Fenzhou is ready, it's a bit tricky."
"It's not difficult to say it's difficult. Fenzhou City is small, and it takes only one month to conquer it."
"Nianhan is waiting for us to win the throne in Longde, how can we delay one month? It's all Zhang Yaozuo, the southern barbarian, walked too slowly. Let him take the Song people's ant to attack the city tomorrow." Zhang Yaozuo was the guardian general of the former Weisheng army and surrendered to the Jin army when the Jin soldiers first moved south.
After a rumbling drum sound, a team of Song people wearing soap clothes and without armor walked slowly towards the camp with sharpened wooden sticks. They were all Song soldiers who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. They wanted to beg for a life, but they could not escape the fate of filling the trenches.
The Song army shot arrows from the city and the camp. The Song Jiang army who was sieging the city were shot down by rows of shots, and the surrendered soldiers turned around and ran away.
Wanyan Huo's girl grinned at Zhang Yaozuo. Zhang Yaozuo was cold all over. She asked his personal soldiers to step forward and chopped off all the surrendered soldiers who had escaped. For a moment, hundreds of heads hung under the city of Fenzhou. Zhang Yaozuo waved his knife: "If you can't get down in Fenzhou, don't live anymore." The seven thousand Song surrendered soldiers under his command all attacked the camp.
The city and the camp shot arrows without hesitation. The enemy had already surrendered to the enemy, and that was the enemy. What old things can be said about the battlefield? After being shot nearly a thousand people, the Song soldiers finally reached the edge of the camp. The spears stabbed down on the wall of the village, and the arrows were still being shot on the city wall. The city wall and the surrounding area of the camp were like Shura's battlefield. The Song soldiers who were in it were besieged on three sides. A few brave men finally climbed up the village wall and were immediately chopped down by a long axe.
The camps on both sides of the city wall were Xiong Dabai and Guan Liyuan. Puliru Bosheng's newly captured defeated soldiers were lined up in the city. Puliru Bosheng shouted: "See, even if you surrender to the Jin thieves, the Jin thieves will only teach you how to fill the trenches and have no other way to fight against the Jin thieves. Only by fighting hard to death can there be a glimmer of hope."
Another civil servant instructor: "Look at the following surrendered soldiers who fought with the Jin thieves one day earlier and received praise from the imperial court. In the Zhongyi Temple, they would eat blood from generation to generation and return to their hometown. It would be better than being a lackey of the Jin thief and would die without a place to bury them."
Another warrior shouted: "Escape is death, surrender is death. It is better to fight the Golden Thieves to fight for a wife and a son. Kill the Golden Thieves and get a golden bowl."
Everyone shouted: "Kill the golden thief and get the golden bowl."
After a fierce battle, Zhang Yaozuo's subordinates 7,000 surrendered soldiers died at the city of Fenzhou, and half were scattered. They still did not dare to step on the battlefield by whipping and intimidating them. The corpses were everywhere in the city of Fenzhou, and the soil turned black and red.
Wanyan Loushi didn't care and used the fighting style of the surrendered army to do hard work. He said to the living woman: "In today's battle, the Song army in Fenzhou is still tenacious."
Wanyan Huo's woman said: "My Jurchens, Bohai, and Khitan tribes have not yet entered the battle, but they are just a bunch of surrendered soldiers. Tomorrow, I will take Tiefutu and I will definitely capture the next camp."
One night passed, the Song army in Fenzhou had already cleaned the battlefield, and the arrows used yesterday were pulled back. Wanyan Huo's woman ordered the Khitans and Bohai people to attack each of them. After an hour of attack, Wanyan Huo's woman took her four hundred iron pagodas and rushed from the front to the camp on the left.
He had observed this position, attacking from the front of the camp, which was blocking between himself and the city wall, and the camp on the other side was also being besieged, and he had the least attack.
Sure enough, after losing a part of the Khitans who were used as a meat shield, Wanyan Huo’s woman led her men to attack the village wall. She sent a ladder from behind, and three or four ladders leaned against the village wall at the same time. Wanyan Huo’s woman led the way and climbed up the village wall along the ladder. The village wall was not very high, but it looked like she was only ten or six feet away.
Wanyan Huo’s woman stood on the wall of the village, and there were no spearmen from the Song army beside her. But arrows kept shooting up in the camp. Wanyan Huo’s woman blocked her, and the Jin soldiers who followed him were shot down halfway.
The group stood on the wall, like a target.
Wanyan Huo's girl heard the Song people below shouting: "That person wearing black armor, don't shoot to death, use a hook to grab it, and give it two... no, one bowl."
Wanyan Huo's woman was furious and took her, but she only received one bowl. More and more arrows were flying. Wanyan Huo's woman could not survive and had to turn around and jump off the village wall. This attack was a failure.
The Khitans, Bohai people, and Song surrendered soldiers surrounded two huge camps, completely ignoring the mud bombs dropped on the city wall and shooting arrows. This was the third day that the Jin soldiers had attacked the city. Even the camps that covered the city wall had not been broken. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Nianhan agreed to besiege Longde Mansion. He also heard that Wanyan Nianhan had already been inseparable from Wanyan Ou on the east road, Wanyan Eliduo, Wanyan Wushu and others had agreed to encircle Bianliang City. If even a small Fenzhou could not be captured, how could the Qishui tribe have the face to go to Bianliang City to share the spoils?
Wanyan Huo led the Jurchen soldiers from the headquarters of the Seven Waters Division to wait on the front of the camp on the left. This direction will not be shot by the bows and arrows from the city and other camps. It is the only place that faces the enemy head-on.
After three days, the Jin soldiers finally made several rushers. After most of them were broken, only two rushers were hitting the wooden walls of the camp. Several long spears stretched out from the small holes in the wooden walls of the camp, stabbing the besieged Bohai people. The Bohai people were pushed forward by their companions behind and could not avoid them at all. They would hit every shot. However, Wanyan Loushi issued a death order, and the Bohai people rushed up without fear of death.
Suddenly, the Bohai people cheered, and a crack appeared on the village wall. The rushing car hit hard several times. The village wall made a sound, and a sudden bang, and a section of the village wall collapsed. The Bohai people shouted in unison and rushed in. Wanyan Huo's woman followed in with her headquarters, only to regret that the Bohai people blocked his way. It was strange that after the brief shout, the Bohai people stopped and were quiet.
Wanyan Huo’s woman rode on the horse and crossed the heads of the man in front of her. She saw a wide ditch forty steps away. The Song army was withdrawing the wooden boards on the ditch, and several unlucky guys who fell in the ditch were trying to climb up.
On the opposite side of the ditch, which is more than forty steps away from Wanyan Huo’s Woman, there are three rows of divine arm bows, one hundred archers in each row, arranged neatly, the first row half-squat, the second row stands, and the third row extends the arrows from the shoulders of the second row. Wait quietly.
Suddenly, a clapper sounded, and three hundred divine arm bows were fired at the same time, as if a dark cloud suddenly burst out from the Song army formation. Wanyan Huo’s woman quickly rolled off the horse, and the Bohai people in front of him had fallen down in groups. Wanyan Huo’s woman waved her hand, and the Jin soldiers were really afraid to turn around and escape, but they were not able to run out at once. Moreover, the Jin soldiers outside the village wall were not clear about the situation and were rushing inward.
After the front three rows of divine arm bows were shot by the Song army, the bow was handed backwards, and the divine arm bow with the bow string was handed up behind them.
"Station arrow?" Zhang Hao watched the battle on the top of the city. "I heard that this magic trick was found in the Western Army for a long time. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-known." The Arrow arrow, the front row focused on shooting archery and the back row was responsible for the stringing. It is said that it was created by Liu Zhongwu, a famous general of the Western Army. Wu Jie carried forward the battle in the Monk Yuan.
"It's not just the garrison." Puliru Bosheng explained.
Zhang Hao saw that the second round of the three hundred god arm bows were shot, and the soldiers in the entire formation unloaded the one-stone five-stone arrow that they had with them and began to shoot freely. The spearmen also began to walk to the front row to guard against the Jin soldiers' counterattack, so he said: "There are still stacked formations."
"It's a stacked formation. I'll be impressed by the battle strategy." Puliuru Bosheng was ready to reveal it.
Bu Lu Gu Leping was trying to be proud: "I don't know if the visit was a garrison, but I tried to concentrate the enemy within fifty steps on the narrow front, and fired more than a thousand arrows in a moment. The enemy and gods and ghosts on the front were destroyed, but it was the 'Abraham Plain Warfare' created by my brother Huyan."
"What a difficult name, Bu Lu Gu Lingjie, you can say it again."
Puliu Ru Bosheng said: "It's really hard to speak. This is the first time this tactic is practical. Please visit and give it a name."
"If you shoot thousands of arrows in a narrow road, you will be called the senior garrison."
Wanyan Huo's girl rolled out of the camp and all the Jin soldiers besieged the camp retreated. The counting number of people, more than a thousand people died in the Bohai people who entered the camp first, and the Qishui tribe suffered little loss. However, the Jurchens had a small population, and the Bohai people who surrendered first were regarded as their own people. Now there are so many casualties and injuries in Wanyan Loushi feels distressed.
Although the casualties were heavy, Fenzhou still had to attack. Wanyanhuo's woman had to rest for a while and forced the Song Jiangjun to hold a small shield and carry firewood on her back. The Bohai people were the second formation and the Jurchens were the third formation. Wanyanhuo's woman personally led the Seven Waters Division to supervise the formation at the end. He gave up attacking other camps and attacked them with all his strength. In his opinion, the wall of the village had been broken, and what was a wide ditch?
