Eleven years have passed since the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Jurchens went south for the first time. In the autumn of the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, the Jin Kingdom’s fourth military campaign kicked off. An army of 300,000 people marched southward from the east to the Central Plains. Compared with the Jurchens’ first expedition to the south,
During a march south, the people spontaneously organized resistance fiercely, and the Jurchens massacred the city all the way. After nearly ten years of rule and massacre by the Puppet Qi and Jurchens, in July, the people of the Central Plains organized a resistance north of the Yellow River. Thousands of horses were in silence.
.Perhaps it also means that the Wu Dynasty’s orthodox dominance in the Central Plains has reached a low point.
At the end of July, the organized and planned resistance that really belonged to the big forces finally started. Compared to the civil resistance that depended more on the people's consciousness and was like a vast river, the resistance dominated by a clear will at this time was more like a deliberate assassination.
The sharp confrontation is fierce and violent, trying to kill the enemy immediately and gain momentum and advantage.
On July 24th, the Wangshan Moonlight Military Army took its name.
On the 26th, Li Xizhi's 170,000-strong army, which had long been prepared, came south. At the same time, the Jurchen general Wu Da led 10,000 Jurchen troops originally stationed in the Central Plains and rushed down to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent Wang Shanyue's hands.
The Liang Shanshui Army raided the East Route Army and headed south to Dutou.
On the 28th, 11,000 black flag troops suddenly gathered and attacked Zengtou City. After a day's rest, they headed south towards Daming Mansion.
On the fourth day of August, 170,000 troops gathered in Damingfu and prepared to attack the city. There were more than 36,000 Guangwu troops in the city and more than 3,000 rebel troops from nearby hills who came to increase their troops. By this time, the Black Flag Army was already too high.
Tang, rushed towards Li Xizhi.
Chains of resistance began in various places on the north bank of the Yellow River. The most intense one was the raid on the Jurchen grain and grass troops outside Zhending City. Inside Zhending City, Qi Yan's mansion was raided. The frequency of arson and assassination incidents suddenly broke out. A large number of leaflets suddenly appeared in Hejian, Gaotang and other places.
——Although many people in the city are illiterate, it is enough to shrink the entire atmosphere and situation to the most urgent level. The continuous outbreak of events is like a rapid drum of war, spreading the entire situation.
It is not just the Jurchens who have gone south who can know the whole situation. Li Xizhi, who has been operating in this place for many years, is probably the first person to collect every tip at the moment. The army's war preparations have become extremely urgent. For Daming Mansion,
The siege was ready to go, but the fierce momentum of the black flag forced him to turn back. The military staff kept discussing, some were nervous and some were suspicious.
"Black Flag is going to fight our army in one go!"
"It must be a tactic based on suspicion! Even Black Flag would not be so reckless!"
"General Uda is still nearby. The black flag in Liangshan is just a partial force, not the main force. Once it is delayed, it will only lead to self-destruction!"
"Suspicious soldier!"
"...Don't forget Xiaocang River!"
"Don't forget the fourth prince Zong Bi's vanguard!"
The quarrels among his staff were annoying, so Li Xizhi could only adopt a domineering and calm posture. On the one hand, he slowly besieged the city, and on the other hand, he mobilized 13,000 garrison troops between Damingfu and Gaotang. At the same time, he ordered his general Feng Qize to lead three soldiers.
Thousands of people set up defense lines at Linhe'ao Pass on the way and stood ready. On August 6th, at the Linhe'ao Pass, Feng Qize saw the approaching black flag troops. At this time, above the Linhe'ao Pass, there were iron cannons, bows and arrows, and various
The defense has been prepared. There are 43,000 people crowded inside the pass. On the opposite side, in the formation of 10,000 people with black flags, Guan Sheng, a big sword carrying a green dragon and the moon, comes out of the formation with murderous intent.
"There's going to be a war! You kid, don't you know better!" Guan Sheng's shouts came up the city wall, with a look of arrogance in all directions, "The chickens and dogs surrender quickly! Otherwise, you will die!"
"My city is strong and powerful, four times as powerful as yours! The rats have lost their heads and come here to die, just to add to my achievements!"
"I'm afraid you've never been to Xiaocang River!"
"Haha, who ran away with his tail between his legs in the end!" Feng Qize was eloquent in his eloquence and did not show any weakness. Guan Sheng laughed loudly under the city, and finally closed the knife and waved it: "Then go to hell! Monkeys!" After that,
Riding back on horseback.
Feng Qize originally thought that the other party would say a few more words, so that he could convince him with his momentum. Unexpectedly, the other party left immediately, so he had to calm down. It was not yet afternoon, so he sat down on the city wall.
, ordered all the soldiers and military law teams to stand ready and never relax, waiting for Black Flag's attack. During these years of being wary of Black Flag, the biggest impression everyone in the North had on Black Flag was the all-pervasive penetration of Xiaocanghe after its retreat.
Ability, for these things, Li Xizhi's army was purged several times, and Feng Qize also strengthened the supervision among the soldiers on the city wall. As for the strength of the Black Flag Army outside the infiltration, he could only muster up all his energy to solve it head-on.
.
On the opposite position, Black Flag's war drums beat one after another without stopping. This was a simple tactic to tire out the troops. Feng Qize was unmoved. In the afternoon, he came to his senses and said to his deputy: "I don't think Black Flag's intentions were there."
They are not attacking Li Shuai's army at the Linhe Col. Black Flag is led by the demon in his heart and is full of cunning tactics. He will not attack the fortified city by force, as he may have other purposes."
The lieutenant general said: "The general is wise, so how should we respond?"
"There is no need to deal with it." Feng Qize shook his head, "Now the Daming Mansion is Li Shuai's responsibility. If Black Flag bypasses Linhe Pass to rescue the Daiming, we will dispatch 40,000 troops to attack from both sides. Even Black Flag will not dare to take such a risk. If
Their purpose is not Daming Mansion, so they are allowed to roam around for a few days. Once the power of the goddess arrives, this small group of black flags cannot escape."
Although he said this, the defense on the city wall did not relax at all until night fell. After darkness fell, fires were lit on both sides, and the drums on the opposite side continued. Until late that night, on the second day of Zi Shi
At that moment, the drumming stopped.
The fire pushed forward, and a horseman came out first, wearing armor and holding a dark red spear, and raised a hand in front of the formation.
Both sides of the confrontation were suffocated, and the silence lasted for a while.
"Brothers of Black Flag, the Jurchen is here!"
The voice sounded.
"Eleven years ago, when the Jurchens came south for the first time, Zhu Biao followed Mr. Ning and defeated the Jurchens' attack at the gate of Bianliang City and defended Bianliang! The Jurchens defeated Bianliang's million-strong army and failed to attack
Destroy us!"
"In the past eleven years, from Bianliang to Xiaocanghe, to Liangshan and now. I have seen the Jurchens defeat countless armies, I have seen them massacre countless Han people, kill our parents and occupy our land! Many people kneel
Get down - the people on the opposite side knelt down! We - never knelt down!"
"This morning, the people at the top told us loudly, haha, they are four times as powerful as us, haha, they have a strong city and powerful artillery, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
In the darkness, countless laughter sounded and spread.
"What do you mean by a group of people kneeling down? Let the ghosts who are still waiting for death under Bianliang City tell them! How many soldiers did the Jurchens use to defeat a million people under Bianliang City! Let the corpses all over the mountains and valleys of Xiaocang River tell them,
Without the intervention of the Jurchens, a million people are nothing! And the Jurchens did not defeat us. In the northwest, we killed their military god Wanyan Loushi. On the Yanzhou City, we personally cut down the people who refused to leave.
Head!"
"This is where the adults fight, where you and I fight to the death! I told them, but they didn't listen! Brothers, these weaklings accidentally blocked the front."
The air had tightened and the silence had fallen. Zhu Biao turned his head and cast his gaze towards the city wall, and then the drums roared.
"Everyone has—"
boom--
"——Trample them to death!!!"
The shouts came like a wave. Above the city wall, Feng Qize looked at this scene and his eyes widened.
"crazy……"
Then he turned back. Hysterical.
"Defend the city——"
Cannons sounded in the dark night, exploding continuously in the night, arrows rained down from top to bottom, countless firelights rose from bottom to top, ladders were erected towards the city wall, and hooks and ropes flew under the launch of giant crossbows.
Feng Qize pulled out his long sword and shouted "Defend the city". As he walked, he whispered: "Crazy." "Fuck you crazy person." He patrolled the city wall for a moment, and suddenly looked back warily at the guards who were following him.
There was a moment of horror, but Feng Qize just glanced at him twice, then gritted his teeth and walked forward.
"I have ordered Lu Ming to keep an eye on the key points guarding the city. If anyone makes any move, he will be killed without mercy! Please cheer up the military and legal team!"
"There must be fraud, there must be fraud, there must be a harmony between the inside and the outside..."
"...Second brother, take people to Lu Ming's place to protect him...keep an eye on him!"
The siege situation reached its peak at the first moment. Feng Qize was patrolling and predicting where he had missed the calculation. However, the real pressure was on the front line of the city defenders. At this moment, what the soldiers on the city felt was like
The Jurchens launched a fierce offensive like no other when they attacked Bianliang. In the dark night, the forwards of the Chinese army crazily climbed up along the slings. The soldiers on the city wall experienced half a day of fear, harassment by drums, and high pressure and suspicion from the military law team.
, before there was time to change the defense for the second time, and the siege lasted less than a quarter of an hour, three Black Flag Army vanguards boarded the city from the south side of the city defense.
The vanguard who had experienced the bloody battle at Xiaocang River held a shield and brandished a knife, and attacked the soldiers guarding the city. In the night, the murderer who climbed the city was covered in flesh and blood. Within a moment, two more people came up from the ladder at the rear. Feng Qize
He led his soldiers to come here for rescue. Before they got close, the city wall in front was already blocked by soldiers. Rockets were still rising from the city. Feng Qize shouted: "Push them up and kill them!"
Someone else shouted: "No retreat! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy——"
The situation at this end was slightly overturned. At the other end, Zhu Biao and Guan Sheng stepped onto the city wall. As the leaders of Black Flag at this time, the city-burning gun's entry into the city was particularly obvious. Countless arrows flew over. Zhu Biao held the gun in one hand.
Holding a large shield in one hand, he pushed violently forward. Guan Sheng saw the opening and rushed out, waving his long sword and filled with blood. Soon, the vanguards from behind also followed.
The boiling killings spread along both ends of the city wall at the broken point, and then pressed towards the middle. Feng Qize was hysterical and kept waving his sword to supervise the battle. However, the soldiers below the city wall were killed so much that they could no longer come up. Amidst the occasional roar of cannons,
At that time, the Linhe'ao city wall changed hands, but the ferocious killings continued.
In the thirteenth year of Wu Jinghan, that is, eleven years ago, when the Jurchens went south, Li Xizhi's troops could not send out troops. When they went south for the second time, they took refuge with the Jurchens. During the Xiaocang River War, Li Xizhi was located in the east and was developing vigorously, but he was unable to send troops.
At the very least, although both the new soldiers and veterans under Feng Qize's command had experienced battles and even participated in the siege of Dulonggang, they had never faced an all-out attack by Jurchen or Black Flag elites.
On the seventh day of August, the Linhe'ao checkpoint failed, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled towards Damingfu. In the morning, Li Xizhi received this nerve-wracking news.
The madman from Black Flag came over desperately trying to kill him.
