In mid-July of the tenth year of Wu Jianshuo's reign, in the south of Jin Dynasty, in the rolling mountains, flags were waving.
To the northwest of Jinning Prefecture, at Yanhu Pass, less than half of the newly built pass has been engulfed in flames. On the southern city wall that has been breached, densely packed soldiers are pouring into the city one by one. Under the forest of banners
Underneath, the flames shook the soldier's pale face.
In the city that had been defeated, the fighting continued ferociously. Yu Yulin led his team to help the fortifications in the city and persisted, firing catapults and heavy crossbows in the direction of the breach in the level. He was wrapped in bandages.
Yu Yulin stood at the highest point of the city, directing the battle, and the flames steamed the burning breath into the sky.
Since the city wall was breached, the battle has continued for a day and a night. The stubborn resistance in the city has not stopped, so much so that the soldiers attacking outside the checkpoint have lost their original vigor. However, in any case, they have the upper hand and the large-scale attacking army continues to attack them.
The team marched toward the checkpoint. The mountains east of Yanhu Pass were densely packed with soldiers waiting to advance.
Since Tian Shi was assassinated on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, at the end of February and the beginning of March, the Jiangjin faction headed by Liao Yiren essentially completed the carve-up of the Jin Dynasty.
The city was burned to the ground. At this time, the Western Route Army commanded by Wanyan Zonghan and Xi Yin chose to go south directly and appointed various forces headed by the Liao family to take charge of the annihilation of the anti-gold forces in Jin.
Lou Shuwan and others abandoned their prestige and withdrew to the mountains to the west and south, relying on increasingly rugged terrain and passes for defense. The capitulation forces that had just surrendered to the Jin Kingdom desperately mobilized heavy troops in this direction.
Later, on the eighth day of July, after being trapped for more than a month, Yanhu Pass was torn open by the opposite side due to the defection of a group of soldiers.
To the west of Yanhu Pass, people who were unwilling to pay money were still densely entering the mountains under the jurisdiction of Lou Shuwan and others. To the southeast of Yanhu Pass, Wang Juyun, who led the Ming army to try to come to rescue, was defeated by more than 50,000 troops.
Chen Longzhou, the general of the surrender faction, blocked the way and fell into a fierce fighting.
The setting sun is like blood, and in the rugged mountains, You Hongzhuo is fighting with a knife. His face is ferocious, covered in blood, and the terrible wounds are extending down from his shoulders. In this mountain, twelve Green Lins who accepted the mission
They escorted the scouts to Yanhu Pass to report to Yu Yulin that An Xifu led a small force to make a detour. However, they were discovered by the scouts of the Jin Army on the way. After a fight, only You Hongzhuo was left.
There are five people inside.
There was a spear coming from the opposite side. You Hongzhuo shouted loudly and leaned forward. He followed the direction of the spear and threw himself into the range of the opponent's gun. The long knife was already slashed out. The opponent dodged and the gun pushed away You Hongzhuo, who was desperate. Then he closed the gun.
Stab. You Hongzhuo, who was injured and exhausted, swayed. He saw the tip of the spear piercing his eyes, but he could no longer avoid it. At this moment, a figure came from the side. The spear was broken into pieces in the air, and there was a huge blast.
The figure grabbed the tip of the gun that was flying in the air, and inserted it into the neck of the gunman as he moved forward.
"...This is Yannan's Wang Family Spear. It is more agile but lacks inner strength. It is suitable for fighting in battle formations. However, if you have deep inner strength and are more accomplished than others, it is not something to be afraid of... Cannon Hammer is the best shot nowadays.
, it should be Chen Fan from the south. In the hands of these two people, his martial arts skills are simply insulted, and his moves are stupid... This sword wielder originally learned the tiger shape, with no airs and no momentum. Look at the tiger in my hand...
…”
You Hongzhuo staggered, and the figure had already walked into the crowd. The pace did not seem to be fast. However, as the sound spread, the figure punched and kicked, and the sleeves of the robe were flying and roaring. The wind was like thunder, and the scouts were coming from ahead.
The figure seemed to have encountered a flying situation on the battlefield. In an instant, he flew left and right, and then he punched in the shape of a tiger. A tiger-like roar could be heard faintly in the air. The figure in front of him sprayed blood into the sky, like an explosion.
It's open normally.
You Hongzhuo had only vaguely seen such deep inner energy and advanced martial arts attainments in the Zhao couple back then, and in the eight-armed dragon king who was next to the female prime minister now. He was too seriously injured at this time, and his eyes were already shaking.
Before the arrival of this master, there had been a fierce fight between the two sides. Now there were eleven or twelve people on the opposite side. After a while, they were killed until only the last gunman was left.
He waved and called over a child who had been hiding under the tree.
"...My teacher said before that when using a gun in the green forest, it is important to be one inch longer and one inch stronger. How to deal with him? Peace, take out the knife. Today he is yours..."
The child in the back was short and seemed to be no more than five or six years old. At this time, it was naturally impossible for You Hongzhuo to remember the child he had rescued in Zezhou. The figure of the child named Ping An
Trembling, he took out the dagger when his master shouted, but he didn't dare to step forward.
The man in front just laughed: "Ping'an, what did I say to you as a teacher? In the world of martial arts, chivalry comes first. Now that the world is in turmoil, these traitors have taken refuge in the people of the Jin Kingdom, defrauding our Han family, cheating, and dying. Think about what my teacher has done these days.
The sights I’ve shown you, think about those damn golden soldiers you’ve seen these days, think about those children the same size as you! Don’t be afraid! They deserve to be killed! They deserve to be killed! They are so much longer than you.
He is taller, but his neck is also soft! Today, my master will hold the battle for you, you go and see their blood——"
As the man spoke, he reached out and grabbed the child's lapel, and threw the child violently. The child's figure flipped in the air with a cry, and the last gun-wielding scout in front couldn't help but stab him with his gun. The martial artist here
The sleeves of Gao Qiang's huge figure whistled and waved, and the child's figure fell onto the gun body. After a few bangs, the figure flew to the ground. The man holding the gun fell to the ground, got up again, and touched his neck.
Blood spurted out and fell on the face of the child who was getting up from the ground - the gunman's throat had been slit with a dagger.
"Hahahaha, okay--" You Hongzhuo heard the rich laughter in his ears and remembered, the setting sun filled the air like blood, "Peace! Good! From today on, you are a man, no less than anyone else-"
The atmosphere of the troubled times has changed. Even the scene before us may gradually become strange. The smoke of gunpowder rises up to the sky, and people are fighting and struggling under the sky.
At Liangshan Water Park, the boat passed through the reed marsh. The people on the boat held their breath and saw the corpse floating on the water in front of them. As they walked along the corpse, the sound of fighting gradually became clearer. Then they fought their way out of the reed marsh and headed towards
The battlefield on the open water farther ahead gathered together.
Cannons roared like thunder, arrows flew, and soldiers fought on the ship, on the water, and under the water. On a large official ship, gunpowder was ignited, and a huge explosion accompanied by flames poured out of the cabin.
The water sank to the bottom.
Southwest, Chengdu Plain. The flood situation in the summer has slowed down. After completing the task of fighting floods and maintaining the expansion results of the Chinese Army in the first year, the Chinese Fifth Army has returned to the rhythm of training and preparations, and small-scale recruitment has also begun.
It has been launched in an orderly manner. In theory, once this year's autumn harvest is completed, the Chinese army in the southwest can enter a new round of military expansion.
Zhangcun, the core of the Chinese Army and the General Staff Headquarters, has entered a state of tension as early as June. On the one hand, it is receiving external information and studying the various weaknesses of the Jurchen army. On the other hand, according to previous reports,
News, calculations and predictions of the development of the war. In fact, considering the war that will inevitably occur in the future, various targeted war preparations must also be submitted at this time, and the logistics must be communicated and started.
Information about the battle situation on the east and west routes is transmitted daily and summarized in Zhang Village. There is always half an hour every day for everyone to gather in groups for analysis and discussion. After that, various tasks will be assigned to everyone.
For example, based on the determined war situation, we analyze the war thinking and habitual tendencies of Jurchen high-ranking generals such as Zong Han, Xi Yin, Zong Fu, Zong Bi, etc., and then establish a rough logical framework based on the psychological analysis of each of them.
, analyze the decisions they might make next.
Although it seems like an armchair exercise on paper, it is quite accurate in predicting the behavior of some simple-thinking generals.
In recent days, what everyone here at the General Staff has praised the most is the tactical movements of Xiang Yue Fei by the West Route Army. He has been operating in Xiangyang for a long time, but with the arrival of the Jurchens, he was the first to attack and lay siege to Xiangyang.
Dengzhou then sent for reinforcements.
The Jurchen general Ali Guo originally guarded Bianliang, but through plundering in the Central Plains, he gathered tens of thousands of heavy cavalry. For a period of time, the heavy cavalry of Iron Buddha was the development direction that the Jin people were keen on. However, later on, elm cannons and gunpowder were used.
The use became more and more powerful. After the advent of the iron cannon, Xi Yin realized the limitations of heavy cavalry and gradually stopped it. However, large-scale armored heavy cavalry was still a force that could not be ignored on the battlefield. Ali
Guo took over part of the Iron Pagoda that was originally part of the Jin Kingdom, and later replenished a large number of Iron Pagodas in the Central Plains, frantically expanding the Iron Pagoda to nearly ten thousand. This time when he saw Yue Fei attacking Dengzhou, he rushed over and killed them.
Yue Fei's Beiwei army completed the selection and defense of the battlefield twenty miles north of Dengzhou in a very short period of time. After the two sides met hand-to-hand, the two sides fought fiercely. Yue Fei skillfully constructed several iron cannons.
On the defense line, Ali tried to use his heavy cavalry to overwhelm the opponent's artillery array. After overthrowing two positions of the Wei army, he entered a large-scale iron artillery siege and encountered a fierce attack.
In this tragic battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. Thousands of Wei troops were killed and injured, and more than a hundred iron cannons were destroyed. Ali Gua's side tasted the sweetness of the sudden advance at first, but later they were stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate themselves, and invested a huge amount of heavy equipment.
Nearly a thousand cavalry were lost on the spot, more than 3,000 cavalry were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and more than 2,000 infantry were lost. When Ali Fu retreated in shock, he retreated with the Wei army, and defeated the Xinye army coming for reinforcements under Dengzhou City.
Nearly three thousand people were beheaded, completing a head-on attack before Xiyin arrived.
When Xiyin arrived in Nanyang, the Beiwei army calmly retreated to Xiangyang. Xiyin, who was angry, directly dismissed Ali Fu from his post and demoted him to the vanguard. After that, the army was reorganized and no longer attacked, which could be regarded as recognizing the Beiwei army under Yue Fei's command.
of combat power.
As for Yangzhou, Wu Shu had been bombarding the city for several days. Zongfu's army came from the rear and faced off with Fu Dingkang's 100,000 troops who came to relieve the siege. The forwards had begun to fight, and fierce attacks were launched in the direction of Gaoyou.
The war has not stopped. Most of the troops participating in the war are currently in place, but it will take a few days to determine the outcome of the battle.
On July 11th, everyone in the staff gathered for a meeting. A young staff officer named Peng Yueyun submitted a tactical inference that Han Shizhong might have started playing dirty tricks. Everyone discussed this tactic, and Ning Yi also came over.
After a while of discussion, new information was delivered. Ning Yi read the first one and handed it to the others with a smile.
"Perhaps he is right. It seems that Han Shizhong may abandon Yangzhou in the future to lure Zongbi into taking the bait. Save people and lose land, and both people and land will be saved. Save land and lose people, and both people and land will be lost. This is a story about refugees from Jiangnan
According to the evacuation news report, it seems that the little prince has made mental preparations to abandon every place north of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River is the chosen decisive battle site... Of course, to get this situation right, it must be
It takes time to see when Han Shizhong gives up on Yangzhou... Hmm..."
As Ning Yi spoke, he looked at the second piece of information. At this moment, he frowned slightly, with a complex smile on his face. Everyone looked over, and Ning Yi was silent for a moment and handed the information to everyone.
, there was some confusion on his face.
"How did this guy do it..."
After everyone read the information, they frowned at first, then were surprised, then excited, and then their expressions became complicated as they looked at each other.
"It's a small soup..."
"This... this guy is too cruel..."
"Do I need to eat extra food tonight?"
"The Jurchens are going crazy, is this good or bad..."
"Well, let's talk about it, should we get this news first or should the Jurchen and Eastern armies know it first..."
"...Do they know it was us who did it?"
"Hahaha... I don't know why, but I suddenly don't want to have anything to do with that guy. How about we make a statement first and say that this matter has nothing to do with us?"
"Otherwise, we can issue a statement disowning the relationship before the Jurchens go crazy?" Amidst the discussion, Ning Yi glanced at everyone: "This way, it looks more realistic, hahahaha..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
Please report the news of the tragedy in Yunzhong.
On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, a group of anti-gold bandits entered the clouds. They wanted to rob the mansion of the great scholar Qi Yan, capture the Qi family and then evacuate. However, something went wrong. First, the Qi family members resisted, which slightly disrupted the group.
The pace of the gangsters, and then Shi Yuanji, the eldest grandson of Shi Liai, was mysteriously involved in the incident, and his throat was cut and died, which caused the whole incident to become completely out of control.
Shi Liai was one of the most famous people among the Han people in the north. When the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, he became an official in the Liao Kingdom. At that time, the Wu Dynasty summoned him several times. Shi Liai felt that the Wu Dynasty was corrupt, could not shirk it, and was serious.
Warn the entire family not to serve.
It was not until the Jin Kingdom was unified that Shi Liai joined the Jin Kingdom and was greatly used. Until now, he was the head of the Han officials under Zong Han and even the entire Jurchen court. He was granted the title of Duke and knew the affairs of the Privy Council. Zong Han conquered the South.
Later, he was in charge of all the affairs of Yunzhong Mansion.
In terms of real power, even the several Jurchen princes and even the princes combined may not be able to compare with Shi Liai now. If other Jurchen nobles were involved in the Qi family's affairs this night, I'm afraid they would not be able to
There was a big fuss, but the first person to die was Shi Liai's eldest grandson.
Shortly after Shi Yuanji disappeared in the evening, the Shi family had already noticed that something was wrong. After that, the whole city of Yunzhong Mansion was under martial law. A kind of bandit who entered the Qi family had no way to go. Facing the body of Shi Li's eldest grandson, he began to
A series of crazy actions followed.
That night, hundreds of bandits who entered the city were fighting in the Yunzhong Mansion, setting fires everywhere in a frenzy to survive. It was the dry and dry autumn, and for some reason, kerosene was stored in some places. The strong wind blew that night, and the fire in the Yunzhong Mansion was fierce.
It stretched and burned countless houses, and thousands of people died in this chaos and fire. In the process of a group of bandits trying to survive, more than a dozen noble Jurchen disciples who were taken as hostages also died one after another.
The situation is tragic.
In this huge chaos, the spies of the Black Flag Army also took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Dazhuoyuan, which was almost affected by the fire, and carried out some damage.
Time goes back to the night of the fifth day of July.
In the Qi Mansion, Wanyan Wenqin was stunned the moment he saw Shi Yuanji's body...
