In the age of cold weapons, the role a genius general could play in a war may far exceed the imagination of future generations.
Just imagine, if Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, was not here, Qin might always be helpless against Lian Po's tortoise shell; if Han Xin was not here, Liu Bang would probably have been beaten into a dog by Xiang Yu;
Without Li Jing, even if Li Shimin tried his best, he would not be able to defeat the Turks quickly;
Without the assistance of Xu Da and famous generals like Chang Yuchun, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition to expel the Tartars and restore China would have been realized, but probably not so quickly!
The saying that one general is incompetent and a thousand troops are exhausted is really not an exaggerated rhetoric, but an ironclad fact.
Wanyan Loushi can definitely be called the best general in the early Jin Dynasty. There are even rumors that if he had not died in his fifties but continued to live, the fate of the Song Dynasty might have been rewritten immediately.
After all, Wanyan Lou's record is too strong.
In the Battle of Taiyuan, when Wanyan Loushi followed Nianhan to besiege Taiyuan City and was blocked, he immediately changed his strategy and suggested that the siege should be changed to a siege. The purpose was to fight for reinforcements.
To encircle a point for reinforcements is to use the enemies in the city as bait and focus on attacking the enemy reinforcements in order to achieve the purpose of eliminating their effective forces.
Wanyan Loushi did what he said. First, he defeated nearly 100,000 local miscellaneous troops from Hedong. When Liu Kai, a bachelor of Zizhengdian in the Northern Song Dynasty and deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong, led 100,000 elite forbidden troops to rush to Taiyuan, he again
Lure the enemy deep into the area, set up an ambush in Shouyang, and annihilate them all.
After that, Wanyan Lou's family once again chose to repeat the same tactics and successively annihilated 20,000 people from the Zhe Keqiu tribe of the prefect of Fuzhou, and 15,000 men from the Luo Cheng tribe of the Zhijin Ning army.
At this point, Wanyan Loushi not only continued to grow in battle, but also added Jiu Meng'an's elite troops to his command, and almost completely annihilated the military forces deployed by the Northern Song Dynasty in the Hedong area.
After that, Wanyan Loushi abandoned Taiyuan and attacked cities and territories without hesitation. He successively captured Pingyao, Jiexiu, Lingshi and other places, and also captured the strategically important Fenzhou.
Even with the help of this good-for-nothing Zhao Huan, the Zhong family army was completely destroyed, and even the general of the Western Army was beheaded. However, he was frightened by the Jin army before and did not dare to rescue Yao Gu in the Zhong army.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Hao did not escape Wanyan Lou's attack, and were defeated by him in Yuci and Wenshui respectively.
It can be said that Wanyan Loushi was definitely the number one general before and after the Jin Dynasty. He was brave and resolute, and well versed in military strategy. In the war to destroy the Liao Dynasty and attack the Song Dynasty, he led a large army from the northeast to the northwest region, and made numerous military exploits.
He was a famous general who opened up territories for the Jin Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty, a minister, Wang Yanqian, praised: "From the beginning of the country to this day, there are no generals and ministers who can do anything better than the right one."
The most famous general of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Loushi is well-deserved.
Some critics even believe that if Wanyan Loushi had not died young, Yue Fei's rise in the Southern Song Dynasty might not have been as smooth as in the original history.
After all, Wanyan Loushi has reached his peak, and Yue Fei still needs to continue to experience growth, so he is naturally no match for the number one Jurchen general.
And Er Zhurong sent Wanyan Lou's room to guard it, which was definitely his wisest move. It was precisely because of Wanyan Lou's guarding that the damage to the stables was minimized.
…………
Although many of the war horses in the stables still chose to flee due to the stimulation of the flames, the number was still relatively limited compared to the total number of horses in the camp.
Wang Ba naturally noticed it, but he also noticed Wanyan Loushi's commanding ability. When they used their horses to destroy the stables, they minimized the losses and at the same time slowly calmed down the general's mind.
This is not a small matter. If he waits for him to settle down, then their small force will most likely stay here.
Therefore, Wang Li then called Wang Ba, who was already a little superior, to leave here quickly. If he didn't leave, he might not have a chance.
Watching these murders and arson, the Han thieves who regarded Wanyan Lou's house as nothing, actually wanted to escape after all the destruction. How could Wanyan Lou's house, which had been so angry for a long time, be willing to agree.
Just now, if it were not for the purpose of stabilizing the morale of the army and protecting the horses as much as possible to prevent the Han army from taking advantage of it, Wanyan Loushi would have led the army in person to kill them.
But now, the morale of the army had stabilized, and Wanyan Lou's family no longer had any constraints. He immediately vented all his anger on Wang Li, Wang Ba and others.
"Ha, ha, ha, you are just a nobody, but you still want to stop us!" Wang Ba sneered disdainfully, and then stabbed out with the spear in his hand.
[Ding dong, Wang Ba’s skill ‘Invincible’ is activated;
Invincible: fearless and invincible. If you are a fierce general or a famous general with the name of invincible general, you have a high probability of awakening him. Different people have different effects;
Effect 1. When this skill is activated, one's own force is 3. Later, as the fighting spirit in the heart continues to increase, one's own force will also increase. Each time it is activated, one's own force is 2. It can be activated up to three times in succession;
Effect 2: When commanding an army to charge into battle, the morale and fighting spirit of soldiers within a 100-meter radius will be greatly improved;
Effect 3: In single combat, the opponent's force value can be randomly reduced by 1 to 4 points; in group battles, the opponent's force value can be randomly reduced by 1 to 3 points;]
The record of Wang Ba in the history books is that he was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and a subordinate of Han King Yang Liang. He was brave and invincible and was especially good at using spears. Since he has the title of brave and invincible, it is natural to awaken the skill of invincibility.
No wonder he was able to defeat Yang Yichen once. When leading the charge into battle, Wang Ba's commander attribute could turn into silver. At the same time, it could also greatly improve the fighting spirit and morale of soldiers within a hundred meters radius.
I am afraid that it was precisely because of this that he was able to destroy the stables to such an extent when Wanyanlou could not be distracted and focused on reducing losses.
Although this sneak attack on the stables could not be a perfect success due to the presence of Wanyan Lou's room, this matter was insignificant to them.
As long as the enemy's horses are damaged and scattered in the stables, their mission has been completed. There is no need to waste time here and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Zijian, it's time to go now." Wang Li waved a stick casually, killed a Xianbei soldier, and immediately greeted Wang Ba who was near him.
"This is very true!" Wang Ba responded.
After the two looked at each other, they immediately prepared to take their men and leave here quickly to join Xue Rengui and others to avoid any unnecessary trouble later.
