Chapter 984: The Beginning of the Jin Mans Subjugation

"This summer rain comes at a good time!"

On the Gubeikou Great Wall, Li Yan raised his head and looked at the pouring rain. The generals behind him were even more happy: "God help me, Yan!"

Excluding extreme situations such as earthquakes and meteorites, rain and snow can be said to be the most common conditions encountered in ancient battlefields.

At this time, normal armies would call a truce, while tyrannical armies would often take advantage of this weather to march quickly, create miracles, and catch the enemy by surprise.

But now it is the turn of spring and summer, heavy snow is not realistic, but a heavy rain is entirely possible, which will have an impact on both sides. The one who least wants to see is undoubtedly the Jin Army, which is mainly cavalry.

In the history of China, there are no examples of rainy days determining the success or failure of two countries, and causing a huge defeat for the cavalry. However, in the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France in the West, there was a famous battle in which a small number defeated a large number, the Battle of Agincourt.

In this battle, the British army, with five thousand archers, destroyed tens of thousands of French heavy cavalry. It was a miraculous victory.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention ten thousand heavy cavalry, even one thousand heavy cavalry can easily scatter and kill five thousand archers. But precisely because of the heavy rain, the ground became muddy and soft. Wearing armor, carrying a

The knight's horse could not move forward effectively at all, so the heavy cavalry had to dismount to fight. However, the heavy armor made them stagger in the muddy ground, and their physical strength was greatly damaged...

In addition, the French army made many stupid moves, and after the final battle, nearly half of France's courtiers at that time were killed and captured. As a result, many noble families disappeared from history, and Agincourt became a symbol of the incompetence of the French army.

synonymous with geography, until the more famous White Flag Terrier emerged.

Perhaps heavy rain was a problem for France. Later, Napoleon defeated Waterloo. The heavy rain the day before the war started was also a key factor. In comparison, in national wars in the East, heavy rain rarely determined the outcome of the two armies.

The most famous Battle of Shangfang Valley, Zhuge Liang burned the Shangfang Valley, and as a result, heaven helped Cao Cao but not the Han, and heavy rain allowed Sima Yi and his family to escape. This was fictionalized by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and not historical.

Now it's going to be real.

"Good rain! Good rain! Hahaha! Keep your pockets!"

"

Zhu Wu laughed and stopped waving the flag, because the heavy rain blocked the view and the ministries could no longer see the flag clearly. Instead, he beat the drum.

"Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!"

The drums were beating fiercely, and under the command of Suo Chao, all the ministries immediately began to increase the intensity of the encirclement and suppression. They closed their wings and continuously tightened the Jin army, encircling and riding on foot, trapping and killing them on the spot.

"Go quickly! Go quickly!

"

On the other hand, the cavalry of the Jin Army inevitably began to become chaotic.

In fact, the heavy rain had just begun and the ground was not so muddy. However, the heavy armored cavalry, which was intertwined with the Yan army's infantry, immediately realized that something was wrong. In addition, they were unable to break through the Yan army's defense. They were frustrated and changed direction and immediately prepared.

leave.

The actions of the troops acting as arrows immediately caused the formation of the Jin people to scatter. Those in front wanted to retreat, and those behind wanted to rush forward. However, the pressure of the Yan army kept coming from all directions. For a while, the people fell on their backs and howled in agony.

.

Two evenly matched opponents on the battlefield, fighting to the end, it actually depends on who makes the first mistake.

Lu Junyi took the lead, killing and trying to defeat the enemy, in order to slow down the Jin army's orders and make many mistakes, thus putting them at a disadvantage.

Wanyan made a decisive decision and personally led his personal guards to block the jade unicorn's attack, in order to stabilize his position and prevent the situation from completely collapsing.

But if it rains heavily today and people's hearts are in confusion, it means that the situation is over and irreversible.

"Walk……"

"No! I can't leave!"

Wanyan's first thought was to evacuate, but seeing the unblinking Lu Junyi staring at him with tiger eyes, he took hold of the war spear again and issued an order to the guards on the left and right: "Let the front line abandon the heavy cavalry and all the light cavalry."

Evacuate, I will personally protect you from behind!

"

“Snipe the messenger so that his orders cannot reach the front line!

"

Lu Junyi's voice sounded almost immediately after him, and at the same time, Yu Liqing accelerated again, heading towards Wan Yan and killing him.

The horns echoed and the drums beat.

Both sides fought wildly, with casualties rising sharply.

As the rain fell heavier and heavier, both sides felt that their stomachs and weapons in their hands were getting heavier and heavier, and their spirits began to numb.

No matter how elite the soldier is, fighting in such an environment and under pressure, his mind will inevitably become dizzy and his judgment will deteriorate, all relying on his will to support him.

Wan Yan's office was no exception. Not long ago, he was evenly matched with the injured Lu Junyi. However, he was killed and was left to his own devices. He was retreating steadily. If his bodyguards had not fought to protect him, he would have been stabbed under his horse.

But if you hold on for too long, you will lose. At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, Yuliqing, who was under Lu Junyi's crotch, suddenly raised his hind hoof and kicked it hard, hitting the horse that Wanyan was riding down.

"Nice horse!"

How could Lu Junyi miss such a good opportunity? A faint golden light suddenly appeared on the spear. It was the secret method taught by Li Yan during the academy. After learning it for so many years, he was finally able to activate the energy of heaven and earth, causing thunder and lightning, which was unstoppable.

"ah!"

This time the two spears collided again. Wanyan Wandai, who had already lost his balance, felt as if he was struck by lightning. He flew straight up, rolled several times in the air, and fell heavily into a puddle in the distance.

There was a pop and blood spurted out wildly.

"Protect the general!"

The guards behind him all rushed at him with their eyes about to burst. Lu Junyi turned his horse's head, his war spear rose up, and stabbed the guards under the horse one by one. At the same time, Yu Liqing rushed over and kicked the horse hard with his hoof.

Yan Ao wears his chest.

The crown prince of the Jin Kingdom was kicked until he could no longer move. He watched helplessly as a spear struck him with lightning.

He covered his throat, but could not stop the flying blood line on his neck, and then his whole body was held by a big hand and raised high above his head: "The golden commander is dead!

Dayan wins!

"

Echoing sounds rose from all directions, overpowering the sound of rain, shaking the heavens and the earth, and completely destroying the fighting spirit of the Jin army: "Dayan is victorious!

Dayan wins!

"



"Your Majesty, the vanguard army... was defeated miserably!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How much is coming back?"

"Less than seven hundred..."

"How could it be possible? The 10,000 vanguard troops are all elites from various departments. Even if they were frustrated, how could only 700 of them come back?"

Compared to Wanyan Wu Yashu's disbelief, Wanyan Agu didn't even move his body, nor did he ask about the whereabouts of his biological brother Wanyan.

The vanguard army was almost wiped out, which would lead to such a record. In addition to the heavy rain becoming a fatal factor, the capture or death of the coach would definitely be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Sorrow flashed deep in his eyes, but he took a deep breath, quickly suppressed it, and said coldly: "Don't report this matter to the various ministries for the time being, quickly assemble the elite and make a surprise attack on the Great Wall pass!"

Wanyan Wu Yashu also knew that his third brother was in danger and was in deep sorrow. Hearing this, he was shocked and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, are you planning to attack the Great Wall by surprise at this time?"

Wanyan Aguda said coldly: "Bring out the hunting skills of my people in the past. We will never get lost in the mountains and forests. We can chase hares when climbing mountains. We can catch birds when we climb high. Can't we overcome the mere rain?"

Wanyan Wuya said quietly: "But..."

Wanyan Aguda waved his hand: "It's nothing, but the weather is like this, the more we can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness. The heavy rain prevented our cavalry from galloping, and also made the two hundred beacon towers in Gubeikou useless. God is fair.

I won’t favor the Yan people, I just want to see if I can seize the opportunity!”

Wanyan Wu Yashu was puzzled: "Even if we successfully attack the Great Wall, we will not be able to march in this weather. We will still have to wait for the ground to be dry and the roads to be smooth..."

Wanyan Aguda roared: "Then don't ride on horseback and go down to fight on foot. At this time, what you are fighting for is not the formation, but the courage to take the lead!"

"The Yan army will receive reinforcements from the rear at any time. We need to be quick to tell you now. Otherwise, when they march across the border and it is the scorching summer heat, there will be no need to fight this battle. Our Kingdom of Jin will collapse after we return!"

"You will personally lead the team this time. If there are any deserters in our army, they will be killed on the spot and their relatives will be gathered together. Within ten days, the Gubeikou city defense must be on fire. Otherwise, my brother will be dealt with according to the military law when he comes back and will be executed."

No mercy!"

Wanyan Wu Yashu gritted her teeth and replied solemnly: "Yes!

"



"Report! Panlongshan section was attacked!"

"Report! Jinshanling section was attacked!"

"Report! The Simatai section has been retaken, the Jin people have retreated, and the main force has not been lost!"

In the Gubeikou camp, the officials of the Yan court looked solemn.

They originally thought that the front army had won a great victory. After the rain, the Jin army, which was dominated by cavalry, would definitely cease. They relied on the Great Wall to defend and would be unbreakable. However, they did not expect that the other side would become even more crazy and advance continuously.

Hua Rong said: "In rainy days, it is a good environment for infantry to defeat cavalry, but now that the Jin people dismount, turn into infantry, and fight in a harsh environment, our army may not be used to it..."

Ding Run put it more directly: "If you want to compare military discipline, orders and prohibitions, let alone our army, the previous dynasties were better than the surrounding barbarians, but with a bit of wildness, the Jin people did have the upper hand. They attacked from so many ways.

It’s time to be brave and brave!”

Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that our army cannot be exhausted and must wait patiently for all the reinforcements to arrive!"

At this time, reinforcements from the rear have arrived. Xu Ning's Guangxin Army and Guan Sheng's Deshun Army arrived first. As time goes by, the various armies of the Yan Army will gather together.

Li Yan listened calmly to the advice of his ministers. It was not until the scouts from the secret camp reported back again that he smiled slightly and told the ministers: "The location of the Jin Army's camp has been found... Generals, listen to the order!"

All the ministers said in unison: "I will receive the order!"

Li Yan named ten civil and military generals, including Hua Rong, Wu Yong, and Ding Run, together with the two armies, marked their positions on the map and issued clear tactical instructions:

"Let him come in any way, I will only go all the way. You lead the army to meet with the vanguard. Don't pay attention to the others. Taking advantage of the muddy ground and the inconvenience of the cavalry to travel far, go straight to the Jin Army camp!"
