When he looked at his subordinate, Captain Meng'an, who had always been famous for his bravery in the army. Since the old emperor Aguda's uprising, he had experienced countless fierce battles.
Wanyanbo, a Jurchen warrior from the Wanyan tribe, was attacked by a Song Dynasty man named Hu Yitong.
First he knocked off the mink hat on his head, then he grabbed the bun on his head with his left hand and pulled it back to expose a section of his neck.
Then, a sharp butcher knife in his right hand was used to cut off the neck.
After a long sigh of "Alas~", the second prince of the Jin Dynasty had a bleak expression on his face. This was the executioner whose hands were unknowingly stained with the blood of the Song Dynasty people.
Facing the Captain Ali Bu who had the same bitter expression next to him, he said in his mouth:
"Forget it, let's ask the soldiers to withdraw. I see it's getting late today, so let them have a good rest. Forget about drinking in the evening, they might as well eat more sumptuously."
Not to mention that under such an order, when the horn sounding to indicate retreat was sounded, the consequences of escaping would have been very serious, and it would be better to fight to the death against the golden soldiers in front of the formation.
The next second later, he immediately retreated down the mountain desperately and in an extremely embarrassed manner.
Only a few of Wanyanbo's soldiers who attacked the commander refused to retreat because they wanted to take back the body of their general. However, in the blink of an eye, they were stabbed into the chest and abdomen by several spears at the same time.
Ali, a captain of ten thousand who commanded the mountain battlefield, still seemed to feel a little inadequate when faced with the results of today's strike.
In the following time, he asked again hesitantly: "Second Prince, what about tomorrow?"
He actually had a plan not to continue attacking the mountain tomorrow if possible.
It can be said that there has been an earth-shaking change from the previous days when he thought that no matter how heavy the casualties among his men were, he would still conquer such a mountain.
It's just that the reason why this Jurchen general became like this is that he couldn't do anything about it.
Using the Song Dynasty's reign number, today is already the 23rd day of the first lunar month of the second year of Jingkang.
With only one day difference, the Song people on Chubing Mountain had already been going up the mountain for almost half a month; eight days had passed since the Shangyuan Festival.
But after such a long time, Hu Yitong and the Song people have been clinging to it.
During this period, they used every means they could think of.
For example, like just now, instead of relying on the Han, Liao and Xi people in the army, these cannon fodder-like infantry launched an attack on the mountain.
Instead, some precious Jurchens were dispatched as the backbone to fill this tragic battlefield.
Or they could ride on rafts or small boats, go down the Nacai River, and attack from both sides of the water from Chubing Mountain, which is equivalent to attacking from all sides without stopping.
But the best result was that a dozen warriors successfully rushed to the top of the mountain, only to be driven back and killed on the spot by the Song people in the blink of an eye.
All in all, on this small hilltop, the casualties on their side were close to 20,000.
If these people were piled together, they would be much higher than such a small hill.
When he thought of this, Aru, a golden soldier general who didn't take human life seriously, felt a little numb.
Of course, the Song people on the top of the mountain paid a huge price in order to achieve this.
If we include the Song reinforcements in Kaifeng City who, in order to support Shangchuibian Mountain, forcibly swam through the blockade formed by archers and trebuchets.
Most of them died on the way, but only one or two out of ten survived. Ten thousand people on the Song people's side were probably also dead.
As a result, a long section of the lower reaches of the Cai River has been blood-red for a long time; at every river bend, there are a large number of stranded bodies on the shore.
No one buried it, and it was left to be eaten to death by river fish, birds and beasts. It looked extremely miserable.
It's just that no matter how many Song people die, Alu won't take it to heart.
In short, to this day, the Jin Bing side still persists every day and launches many fierce attacks on Cubing Mountain.
But I'm afraid that all the soldiers in the army can see that they will never be able to conquer this tiny place like Chubing Mountain.
The main reason is that the Song people on the mountain continued to receive support, and their strength continued to increase.
The Song troops on the mountain a few days ago, with the addition of some women who came up to support them, were only a mere hundred or so strong.
Now, it is estimated that there are more than 300 people; because they discovered the people on the mountain, they have been able to divide the people into two groups and take turns to fight.
What's more important is that the number of those deadly 'gunpowder bags' is also larger.
When they attacked before, the Song people on the mountain would only throw out such a desperate measure at the most dangerous moment.
Now? Throw one out at every turn, easily knocking down our own warriors.
Sometimes during a battle, as many as three were thrown back and forth; under the power of that kind of thing, which was as powerful as thunder, even an iron-clad man could not withstand it.
Every warrior in the army died so easily on it.
So even if Aru didn't want to admit it at all, he still clearly realized one thing when his opponent got stronger and stronger as he fought:
There is really no way they can chew down this mountain of cakes.
Now that he knew he couldn't defeat them, and the daily attacks now resulted in casualties ranging from hundreds to thousands, or even more, Aru naturally didn't want to continue fighting.
And after hearing his general ask such a soul-piercing question.
Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince, sighed again like a resentful woman, and said in his mouth: "Let's discuss this matter later..."
****
Wanyan Zongwang's words of 'we will discuss this later' are really not an excuse for having nothing to say.
That was tonight. He really planned to find a person who should be called an "expert" using the adjective of the modern dimension, and discuss the future countermeasures.
To be more specific, Wanyan Zongwang, Zong Han, and Xiyin planned to hold a grand banquet for Wanyan Lou, a tuberculosis ghost that they had looked down upon before.
The question is! It depends on how to look at it and from what angle.
Wanyan Loushi was currently in the battle of Pingzhou. Against Hu Yitong, a Song Dynasty man, he really lost his troops and generals. He even made himself look like a human, a ghost but not a ghost.
But no matter what people say, Pingzhou City was captured when the opponent had more troops (counting the troops of Zhang Xian and Zhang Jue).
And what about them? They didn't even see the war in front of them.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Lou Shi at the dinner party became an expert, an expert who understood his opponents better even though he had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Hu Biao and others.
In just half a month, Wanyan Zongwang and others, whose mentality had undergone huge changes without realizing it, were finally willing to show off their shame.
So, I prepared a grand banquet tonight, and planned to ask the master of the banquet room Lou for some advice.
Regarding the above-mentioned various interests and relationships, Wanyan Loushi, a rare smart person among Jurchens, can naturally analyze them easily.
The problem was, when he thought about the reason why he was taken seriously, it was Hu Yitong, an opponent whose flesh he wanted to eat alive.
For a moment, the emotions in his heart were quite complicated.
That night, in the camp of the Jin Bing East Route Army, the so-called four giants of the Jin Bing sat together again.
But in the face of sumptuous food and wine, the Song Dynasty court usually sent high-quality songs and dances by the palace maids as compensation because "Empress Maode was robbed."
There was no emotion at all in the hearts of the four of them.
Because just after nightfall, they received another huge piece of bad news:
Xiangzhou was occupied by another group of Song soldiers named Yue Fei under the banner of "Xuange Camp". This meant that their east road to the Kingdom of Jin was cut off.
Even though the west road from Xijing to Taiyuan and then to Kaifeng is still open, this is still bad news that shocks them.
Coupled with the Song people in Kaifeng City, they are becoming more threatening day by day.
As well as the peripheral blockade troops, Song spies were constantly discovered, indicating that the Song Dynasty's King Qin's army, which had been waiting and watching, now gradually had some ideas of marching into Kaifeng City.
Even if the news of the fall of Yuyang and other places has not yet reached them, they have already felt something: the wind direction on the Kaifeng battlefield seems to have changed...
