After many twists and turns, the Song army rushed to the slope. How could they give up this opportunity so easily, brandishing their swords, and ruthlessly killing the enemy? In less than a quarter of an hour, they broke through the first line of defense on the slope. ∈↗
Seeing that Guan Sheng had broken through the ramp, he immediately led the remaining five thousand troops to attack.
Originally there were only two thousand soldiers guarding this place. Dong Cai relied on this steep hillside to resist the attack of the Song army. But now the hillside has been occupied by the Song army. Even if the Jin army can fight again, they will face many times the enemy.
The enemy, this close combat will kill you, and the Jin army has lost the advantage of the war horse if it sticks to the mountain.
"General, the enemy has already attacked. Let's retreat quickly."
One of Dong Cai's lieutenants saw the Song troops coming in a steady stream and knew that they would not be able to hold on, so he advised Dong Cai to escape quickly.
The second prince did not think that I was a general, but instead valued me extremely much and ordered me to guard this place. If I left alive, how could I go to see the second prince? Dong Cai had a desire to die in battle, and without saying a word, he drew his sword.
He came, stabbed the deputy general to death with a sword, and shouted randomly: "Brothers, the Fourth Prince's reinforcements are coming soon. If we hold on for a while longer, victory will belong to us."
After saying this, he took the lead and rushed out.
Not to mention, his words were like a shot in the arm of the Jin Army. The Jin Army, which was on the verge of death, suddenly regained its consciousness and burst out with amazing fighting power. It even killed the Song Army on the bunker. The two sides began to fight fiercely.
Brutal hand-to-hand combat.
But this is just a lie. He himself doesn't know where the reinforcements are now?
Moreover, the shot in the arm was always used on a dying person, but he could not escape the arrangement of God's will. Under the fierce attack of the Song army, reinforcements were delayed in arriving. Finally, the two thousand defenders were wiped out and Gubeikou was lost.
And Dong Cai also died heroically. Although he was a Han, although he was a Liao official, and although he was once considered a traitor, this time, he did not behave like Guo Yaoshi, who rebelled when strong and became a family member with three surnames.
He was a slave, but he used his own life to repay Wanyan Zongwang's kindness. Even though Gubeikou was lost, he still deserves the respect of the Jurchens.
After occupying Gubeikou, Guan Sheng and Liu Qi did not stop for a moment, and quickly ordered the soldiers to consolidate the defense north of the pass, because when Gubeikou was in the hands of the Jin army, they focused on the defense of the south, and now it fell into the hands of the Song army.
, the target of defense is the Kingdom of Jin in the north, so naturally the focus of defense must be shifted to the north. Furthermore, the opponent's reinforcements are about to arrive.
.....
.....
Over there Wanyan Zongbi led his troops to return for reinforcements, but when he led the army to Yingzhou, he did not see even a shadow of the Song army. What he saw was only a ruined wall, desolate and desolate, especially his
The port where the navy was gathered. Almost the Jurchen soldiers could not bear to look directly at it. The navy that they had worked so hard to build was now a piece of black charcoal, floating on the sea, dyeing the entire port black.
But strangely, the measures at the dock are still very well preserved.
"Fourth Prince, look quickly."
Suddenly, a general pointed to a standing tree beside the port.
Wanyan Zongbi looked up and saw a banner falling straight from the tall tree. There were several big words written on the banner - If you don't tear it down, I will come again.
Iron painting and silver hook!
When Wanyan Zongbi saw this, his eyes became bloodshot with anger.
The defense measures around Yingzhou, including those on the city walls, were destroyed by the Song Army. They were smashed, smashed, and burned. However, the dock was very intact. This means that it is obvious that this port is beneficial to the Song Army's navy.
The reason why Han Shizhong didn't demolish it after landing was because he knew that Wanyan Zongbi would be afraid of him coming again. Even if he didn't demolish it, Wanyan Zongbi would demolish the port on his own, so why waste this effort.
So Han Shizhong left these words, if you don't demolish this port, my navy will definitely come again. As for your navy? Huh, there is no need for such a big port.
This is really a naked insult!
Wanyan Zongbi wanted to know what happened here and why the Song army could bypass the sentry post and suddenly come here.
The answer was soon revealed, as a messenger from Sanshan revealed the mystery.
When the Jin Kingdom established a navy, Yingzhou was the base camp, but there was also a navy in the Sanshan area, which is now Dalian Linhai Generation, because the Sanshan area is the only way from Laizhou to Goryeo and Japan, and it can be said that it is the Bohai Sea.
Gubeikou, so Jin Guoshan agreed that in order to seize the Bohai Strait, at least half of it must be taken, and it was these three naval divisions who robbed the fleet in the first place.
After Han Shizhong learned of this, he did not rush to rescue him. Instead, he secretly sent people pretending to be lost fishermen and approached the two islands near the mountains where the Sanshan Navy was stationed. He then ordered two teams of clippers to use the strong winds to rescue them.
They captured these two islands with lightning speed, not only rescued the captured Song merchants and boatmen, but also captured twenty or thirty warships.
Because the navy was not mainly composed of Jurchens, but Bohai people, Han people, and even Koreans. Not long after the founding of the Jin Kingdom, they did not have much affection for the Jin Kingdom. When they saw the Song Navy's arrival, they quickly surrendered.
.
After Han Shizhong learned from the prisoners the location of the Yingzhou sentry post and the secret code between them, he immediately ordered a fleet to patrol the area to block the news, and then led the main force straight to Yingzhou.
This is the disadvantage of the Jin army stationed in two places, because communication was inconvenient in ancient times, let alone the sea. How many days does it take to go back and forth? What's more terrible is that the Jin army cannot outrun the Song army at sea, so Yingzhou
The navy did not know the situation in Sanshan.
Han Shizhong first ordered people to take the captured ships, disguised as Sanshan Navy, and approached the islands near Yingzhou in the evening. The Jin soldiers guarding those islands saw that his fleet was coming, so they were naturally unprepared and were captured.
The Song army occupied these outposts without anyone noticing. Han Shizhong filled all the captured ships with explosives and vegetation and marched towards the base camp of the Yingzhou Navy.
At first, the Yingzhou navy saw that it was their own fleet that had returned, and it happened to be during their shift, so they had no suspicion at all. When they discovered that something was wrong, dozens of small warships were flying at the same time, like arrows that were taken off their strings.
It rushed towards the warship stationed in the port, and was unable to stop it. It was burned to pieces in an instant.
As a result, the Yingzhou Navy was completely wiped out without firing a single arrow. Han Shizhong took advantage of the chaos and led the Navy to land.
Because Yingzhou does not need to worry about the defense on land. After all, Pingzhou is blocking the front. They only need to take care of the defense on the sea. Therefore, the defense in the city is very empty. Once the sea defense is broken, Han Shizhong leads 10,000 marines to take advantage of the situation.
After arriving at Yingzhou, he immediately ordered people to quickly transport the food and weapons in the city onto the ship, destroying all those that could not be taken away. This had always been done by the Jin soldiers, and finally it was the turn of the Song army. The Song soldiers started to do it.
Beer was diligent, Han Shizhong did not stop, and after leaving the affairs of Yingzhou to his wife Liang Hongyu, he led the army straight to Pingzhou.
However, after he conquered several counties in Pingzhou, he learned that Wanyan Zongbi had returned for reinforcements and immediately withdrew his troops. He did not think about conquering Pingzhou because the strategy was not arranged in such a way. The strategic idea proposed by Zongze was not to capture Longwangshu.
Don't be too ambitious. If Wanyan Zongbi does not return reinforcements, you can capture Pingzhou. If reinforcements return, you will retreat immediately.
Therefore, by the time Wanyan Zongbi arrived, the Song army had already reached the sea. Not to mention that Wanyan Zongbi did not have any strength to fight against this navy. Even if he did, if he dared to pursue him, Han Shizhong would dare to destroy him.
After learning all this, Wanyan Zongbi was speechless. This can't be blamed on anyone. He can only blame him for being too eager for quick success. He dared to challenge the Song Dynasty's hegemony at sea before the navy was perfected. Only then did Han Shizhong find a loophole.
Embarrassed, Wanyan Zongbi still had no motivation. He quickly ordered people to dismantle the pier and retreat the defense line to the shore. He did not seek to destroy the enemy, but only asked not to let the Song Dynasty navy land again. If it happens two or three times again, this day
There is no way to get through it.
There is a saying that blessings never come together and misfortunes never come alone.
Before matters here were settled, news of the fall of Gubeikou came.
Wanyan Zongbi suddenly lost his direction and didn't know what to do. After all, he was still young. An amphibious operation of this scale made him a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, news came from Beijing. Wanyan Sheng ordered Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongpan
Lead an army of 100,000 to come to the rescue.
...
But less than three days after the fall of Gubei Koucai, bad news came again from the Jin Kingdom: Wuzhou was captured by Zhe Kecun.
Wuzhou is in the Xuanhuai generation in Hebei, while Xinzhou is in Zhuolu in Hebei. This means that Wuzhou is to the north of Xinzhou. If we attack from south to north, we should first conquer Xinzhou and then attack Wuzhou. However,
Now Xinzhou has not been conquered, but Wuzhou has fallen.
However, this situation is not unfamiliar to the Jin Kingdom, because they have done this before. When Wanyan Zongwang went south, many of the northern states and cities were not captured. As long as he did not capture all the states and cities in one go, he
They sent a small number of soldiers and horses to surround the city and contain the Song army, while he led the main force to continue advancing. After all, their horses were fast, and it would be difficult for the Song army to resist a blitzkrieg.
But things are different today. Zongze's strategy of using space to defeat time has achieved unprecedented success. Zhe Kecun worked step by step and used the river as a backing to push the position to the foot of Xinzhou City. The Jin army could only fight a positional battle with the Song army.
It's impossible to ask them to abandon Xinzhou and fight guerrilla warfare, right?
However, the Jin Army was not so relaxed in battle. Your cavalry had to charge, while the Song Army built fortresses everywhere and had a large number of crossbows and firearms. Although they rushed over and killed countless enemies, they also suffered heavy casualties.
Xinzhou only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, but it can save 20,000 elite soldiers. You can't exchange three for one.
Originally Xinzhou General Ni Wanwen asked for help from Guizhou, but Guizhou itself could not protect itself. When encountering a lunatic like Zhang Jun, Liu Kai's army was also storming Juyongguan in front of him. He dared to send troops out. There was no other way but to ask for help.
Wuzhou in the back is asking for help. Wuzhou is behind Xinzhou and is almost adjacent to it. Of course, troops must be sent to rescue. This is a desperate situation!
But this is a compromise that can be frightening, because according to Zongze's strategic arrangement, no matter which of the four states of Xin, Wu, Ru, and Gui sends troops to rescue, they will attack, because the military strength of these four states is far inferior to that of the Song army.
, you send troops to rescue, then the city must be empty.
When Zhe Kecun learned that reinforcements from Wuzhou had arrived, he immediately switched from attack to defense and used the fortress to clear the way. If the fortress is built one meter, I will advance one meter. Anyway, we are all under your city. Even if we advance one meter, it is enough to inspire people.
While containing the Jin army, he also asked Zhe Yanzhi to lead an army of 10,000 people to advance by water and attack Wuzhou.
Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, Xinzhou General Wen Wanwen immediately launched a counterattack, but was overwhelmed by the fortresses. The Song Army's archers hid inside and shot to their heart's content. The Song Army also surrounded the fortresses, advancing one after another to meet them.
Fighting against the Jin army, everyone is fearless, just don't let them capture the fortress. In short, the place outside the fortress is yours, but the fortress area will never be allowed to be captured by them.
The Jin soldiers were all cavalry. They were really helpless when encountering this fortress. Countless Jin soldiers were shot to death.
Anyway, the Song Army's arrows are really endless. With ten years of reserves, you can imagine how many people you have to pay for it.
Zhe Kecun successfully contained the main forces of Xin and Wuzhou with half of his troops. In fact, this half of the main forces was no less than that of the Jin army. Otherwise, Zongze would not have dared to propose this strategy. This is a strategy based on military superiority.
.On the other side, Zhe Yanzhi led 10,000 soldiers, faced with such an empty Wuzhou, and conquered it in less than a day.
If Wuzhou falls, Xinzhou will be in danger. If you attack, I will defend it. If you return to Wuzhou to aid, I will attack Xinzhou. If you do not return to aid, it will be embarrassing. Our army can attack you from both sides.
The Xinzhou general, Ni Wanwen, really had no choice but to dare to attack rashly. He knew that he had to delay as much time as possible and wait for his reinforcements to arrive. If he continued like this, his troops would sooner or later be consumed by the Song army.
Go ahead, the key point is that the Song Army was too shameless. There was no reason to fight like this. They built fortresses, dug pits, and ditches all day long, destroying the ecological environment. They always had their troops hiding behind the fortresses, and their base camp was placed in the river.
Above, there is no energy at all. If you are a man, you will come out for a decisive battle. But can you blame Song Jun? If you have the ability, you will not ride a war horse for a decisive battle!
In desperation, Nunwan Wendu finally gave up on the city, and the entire army retreated into the city. They gave up their best horses and went to defend the city wall.
Zhe Kecun was naturally not polite, and immediately led a large army to the city and surrounded Xinzhou. In this way, the rhythm of the war was completely under the control of the Song army, and the situation was excellent.
