Chapter 1852 The heavy axe splits the white mountain
In the southeast of Wuzhou, a fierce battle is taking place.
One side of the battle was the three thousand troops sent by Zhe Kecun to rescue Wuzhou, while the other side was Bali Su's troops.
Judging from the scene, the Song Army had been surrounded by the Jin Army. Because the Song Army was in a hurry at that time, it unexpectedly encountered the elite Jin Army on the way. In fact, Ba Lisu had no intention of attacking Wuzhou, but ordered a small number of soldiers.
Ma was restrained in Wuzhou, while he personally led the force to surround and annihilate the supporting army.
A sentinel rushed over and said, "Report ---, General, it's bad, the Southern Dynasty Army in Yinshan broke through our defense line."
Ba Lisu was shocked, "So fast?"
Because Ba Lisu wanted to concentrate his forces to eliminate this supporting army, but he was also afraid that the main force of the Song army in Yinshan would return to support and surrounded him. Therefore, he ordered five hundred warriors to take advantage of the narrow mountain road, hoping to stop the Song army.
The main force of the army first destroyed this supporting army, and then concentrated its forces to destroy Zhe Yanzhi's troops. Now he heard that the Song army easily broke through the defense line he had arranged, which surprised him, because in such a narrow valley,
No matter how many Song soldiers you have, you can't rush through them in one fell swoop.
The sentry detective said: "The Southern Dynasty army used a very powerful firearm, which deafened all our soldiers and thus broke through our defense line."
The general on the side said: "General, the Song army will arrive here soon, we'd better withdraw first."
Ba Lisu frowned and suddenly shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. That army probably doesn't know that we are here to surround and annihilate their reinforcements. They should first go to rescue Wuzhou. We still have some time to spare." As he spoke,
He immediately approached the sentry and said: "Go to Wuzhou quickly, order them to abandon Wuzhou, and concentrate their forces on me to entangle the Southern Dynasty army. After an hour, regardless of victory or defeat, retreat immediately."
"As commanded."
The general said again: "General, how can one hour be enough?"
Ba Lisu smiled and said: "If things go well with the capital, I believe our reinforcements will arrive soon."
Because the Jin army had sealed their silence, Zhe Yanzhi only knew that the Jin army had besieged Wuzhou. He did not know the situation in Xinzhou, but he had a vague feeling that something was not good. After annihilating all the 500 Jin soldiers, he immediately rushed straight to
Leaving Wuzhou.
But as soon as they left the Yinshan Mountains and before they had time to take a breath, a team of thousands of Jin troops came over to kill them.
Zheyanzhi immediately ordered the soldiers to fight, but after a while, Zheyanzhi realized that this Jin army was here to delay their return reinforcements. He was even more anxious. Although he had the advantage on the scene, the enemy was cavalry and the enemy was cavalry.
If you retreat, it will be difficult for you to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
The battle situation was very tense.
At this moment, a force suddenly came out from the rear. It was the one thousand defenders from Wuzhou. It turned out that when the military general and the defender saw the besieged Jin army suddenly heading north, he felt something was wrong in his heart, and they had one thousand people.
It was also difficult to defend Wuzhou City. So he decided to leave the city immediately because he knew that Zhe Yanzhi was attacking the Yinshan Pass and saw the Jin army heading north. He was afraid that Zhe Yanzhi would be ambushed, so he led his army to rush there and saw Zhe Yanzhi.
The troops were fighting with the thousand gold army, so they rushed up to encircle and suppress this gold army.
Seeing the Song army arriving from behind, this Jin army did not dare to fight and hurriedly withdrew eastward.
Zhe Yanzhi did not dare to pursue, and immediately asked about the situation in Wuzhou. After learning about the situation in Wuzhou, Zhe Yanzhi looked shocked and said: "Xinzhou is in danger."
So he immediately organized his troops and went to Xinzhou for rescue, but he hadn't walked for a while when he suddenly saw a Song army running out of the mountain.
Zhe Yanzhi was about to order the soldiers to fight when he suddenly heard someone in front shout: "There is a major general in front of us."
"General Fan."
"Major General. It's Major General."
The small group of troops rushed forward to meet them.
Zhe Yanzhi saw that their faces were all covered with mud and their armors were stained with blood. He knew that the situation was not good, because Fan Jie was guarding the Xinzhou base camp. With his appearance, Xinzhou must have been attacked. He hurriedly
Asked: "General Fan, how is Xinzhou?"
When Fan heard this, tears welled up and he immediately cried: "Major General, something bad has happened. This morning, the Xinzhou base camp was suddenly attacked by more than 10,000 enemies. Now the water stronghold has been breached by the enemy. Our brothers are all the same."
Died in battle---."
At this point, he really couldn't go on.
Zhe Yanzhi's body shook violently a few times, his face turned as white as paper, and he said in disbelief: "You---what did you say, the water stronghold was breached by the enemy?"
Fan Jie nodded, wiped his face, and said: "The enemy burst its banks on the upper reaches of the Yang River and used fire boats to break through our water stronghold."
"What about my third uncle?"
"The general was on the boat at that time. Now the general has disappeared. I want to come ---."
Zhe Yanzhi's eyes instantly turned red, and his fists clenched and rattled.
At this time, another three or five flying cavalry arrived, "Major General, it's bad, Xinzhou has been captured by the enemy. Now the main force of the enemy is chasing this way. Let's retreat quickly."
Fan Jie said excitedly: "Major General, let's fight back and fight with the enemy to avenge the general."
Zhe Yanzhi raised his riding whip, but when he looked at the faces behind him that were looking at death, he couldn't help but slowly put down his hand, passed his eyes with his arm, and said: "Brothers, quickly retreat to the direction of Yinshan Mountain.
.”
Because the enemy army is coming from the west, there must be enemy troops in the west, and there is no way to go in front. The river in Wuzhou is occupied by the Jin army. God knows whether there is a Jin army guarding the other side, so they only have one road left, which is
Although Yinshan Mountain is the end of Yinshan Mountain, there are many mountain paths. After entering the mountain, the towering Yinshan Mountains can provide them with good shelter. Even if they encounter an encounter, the Song Army does not have to be afraid on the mountain road.
Zhe Yanzhi immediately led his troops back and rushed to the Yinshan Mountains again.
Less than half an hour after he left, Ba Lisu led a mighty army here. The reinforcements had been completely annihilated by him and the reinforcements sent by Wanyan Zonghan. After they were annihilated, he immediately headed northwest to kill
, prepared to encircle and annihilate Zhe Yanzhi's troops again, but unfortunately, Zhe Yanzhi had already run away. After he found out that Zhe Yanzhi had gone to the Yinshan Mountains, he stopped pursuing them.
After Wanyan Zonghan broke through the water stronghold, he immediately picked up the siege equipment left by the Song army and attacked Xinzhou from three sides. There were not many defenders in Xinzhou. There were only about a thousand people. The main force was deployed in the base camp outside Xinzhou.
Yan Zonghan attacked from three sides. He didn't know how to block it. It only took Wan Yan Zonghan an hour to break through Xinzhou City.
So far, Zhe Kecun's troops of about 20,000 have lost more than 10,000, and the commander Zhe Kecun has also fled. He still does not know whether he is alive or dead. Almost the entire army has been wiped out. Only Zhe Yanzhi's three or four thousand troops have escaped, but they are still alive.
It cannot be said that they are out of the threat, because the roads in the Yinshan Mountains are complicated. It is still unclear whether they can cross the Yinshan Mountains and reach Ruzhou.
The Jin Army also paid a price of nearly 4,000 men. In fact, Wanyan Zonghan expected that 2,000 men would be enough, but he never expected that there would be such a powerful firearm in the opponent's position. With just one round of explosion, no one was killed or injured.
Thousands, eight hundred, and five hundred warriors in the Yinshan Canyon were all slaughtered by the Song army. This was something he did not expect.
Wanyan Zonghan accurately grasped the mentality of being able to survive, and launched a lightning attack. He defeated them one by one and eliminated the main force in one fell swoop. For Wanyan Zonghan, this was only the second best. After all, he had defeated thousands of troops and completely destroyed them.
The annihilation of the Liao Army was an army of hundreds of thousands, which was nothing. To his relief, his warriors were completely resurrected. The haze that had been hanging over the Jin Army for many days was swept away today.
"General Tutong Ba Lisu is back."
"Oh, let him in quickly."
Before he finished speaking, Ba Lisu walked in. Without waiting for him to salute, Wanyan Zonghan asked, "How is it?"
Ba Lisu shook his head and said: "The enemy troops withdrew towards Yinshan Mountain, so I did not pursue them anymore. I only increased my troops to guard the key passes of Yinshan Mountain."
"You did the right thing." Wanyan Zonghan nodded with a smile and said, "That's just a lost dog. There is no need to chase and fight. Besides, the enemy will always meet again."
Yi Cibao asked excitedly: "Du Tong, what should we do next?"
"Let's set out today to attack Ruzhou."
Wanyan Zonghan chuckled and said: "I have to make the opponent lose his footing. Guizhou is close to Juyongguan, so the enemy must be heavily guarded. But if the opponent places heavy troops in Guizhou and Juyongguan, then Ruzhou will definitely have an empty defense. We must attack
Launch a fatal blow at the weakest point of the enemy's defense line. Pull out of the speed, and you immediately lead five thousand troops to pursue the remaining troops. I estimate that Guizhou may send troops to rescue. If there is an encounter, you don't have to hesitate.
If we take advantage of the situation, we will definitely destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, and I will arrive with my army soon."
As long as the Song army broke away from the fortress and met in the wild, their cavalry would take advantage.
"As commanded."
Ba Lisu didn't even take a breath, turned around and walked out. He had followed Wanyan Zonghan for so long, and he naturally knew Wanyan Zonghan's habit. Once he launched an attack, he couldn't stop at all.
After he left, Yi Cibao asked again: "Du Tong, what about Xinzhou and Wuzhou?"
"Leave a hundred people each."
"A hundred people?"
Yi Cibao almost bit his tongue off.
Wanyan Zonghan smiled and said: "These cities are the tombs of the southerners. If they dare to send people here, I will come back and destroy them. I will destroy as many as they come. I want the southerners to know that these are empty cities and they will not dare to do so."
If we come to attack, leaving a hundred people here to maintain law and order is enough."
Brother Zonghan is so domineering, which is unreasonable.
After reorganizing here for a night, Wanyan Zonghan immediately led the main force and rushed to Ruzhou in a furious manner.
Yunzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It can even be said to be located at the foot of three mountains. Even the city is high in the north and low in the south. The mountain to the east is famous in history and is called Baideng Mountain.
Speaking of Baishan Mountain, one person has to be mentioned. This person was Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. When Liu Bang went on an expedition against the Huns, he was trapped in Baishan Mountain. It was precisely because of this battle that the Wenjing Reign occurred.
Because the Han Dynasty was very afraid of the Xiongnu during this war, it adopted a peace policy, which brought stability to the Central Plains for decades. It was not until the emergence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that this situation was broken.
Baishan Mountain is a strategic location. There is a road leading to Mongolia, called the Baidao.
Yang Zaixing led his troops here to open up the Baidao, so that they could go to the north of Yunzhou and capture the northern pass. But how could the Jin army let Yang Zaixing pass here easily? They set up camps on the Baidao based on the terrain to block it.
Yang Zaixing.
This Jinjun camp is set up on a curved slope. This slope is not very steep. It is a road after all. However, there are steep cliffs on both sides. This makes the Song army unable to use long-range weapons to attack down the slope because the slope is curved.
There is a corner in the middle of the slope. You can't hit the Jin army's camp by firing crossbows or heartless cannons at the bottom of the mountain. Besides, Yang Zaixing didn't bring a crossbow cart, because there are mountain roads everywhere, and they are all uphill.
It is difficult for the chariot to move forward.
"Brothers, come here and kill all these golden dogs."
I saw more than 500 people holding shields and swords rushing towards the Jin Army's Guanzhai.
The narrow Guanzhai suddenly became a scene of swords, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
At the foot of the hillside, dozens of large pots were set up, and the hot water was boiling. Red and tender pieces of meat were looming with the hot water. There were mutton snatched from nearby, and they were also brought from the mountains.
The rich aroma of game and meat fills the white road in the mountains, attracting people to smoke.
Hundreds of soldiers gathered around these dozens of cauldrons, drinking spicy food and shouting that it was refreshing.
As a pioneer general, Yang Zaixing was sitting on a bare boulder with an expressionless face. This guy actually had a paralyzed face and would always have this expression when he was resting. Otherwise, he must be sleeping.
However, there were a group of sleeping soldiers beside him.
At first glance, this makes people really confused. The soldiers in the front are fighting, but the people here are eating and drinking here and snoring. This is so fucking unfair.
After a while, Yang Zaixing suddenly kicked the sleeping soldier next to him and said, "Hey, are you asleep?"
The man rubbed his eyes and woke up immediately. He nodded immediately.
Yang Zaixing said: "Get ready. In a quarter of an hour, we will go up and replace the brothers on the front line."
"As commanded."
A quarter of an hour later, these soldiers took their weapons and rushed up the ramp, and soon disappeared around the corner. After a while, they saw another group of soldiers shaking off their armor and running down.
Without saying anything, he just sat down around the big pot, picked up the chopsticks made from tree branches, picked up the pieces of meat inside, and stuffed it into his mouth without paying any attention to Yang Zaixing.
At this time, a large number of hunters suddenly appeared from behind, all carrying prey on their shoulders, "General, we are back."
Yang Zaixing just nodded, and the hunters very consciously began to process the prey, skinning them and digging out their internal organs. Their movements were so skillful that you could tell at a glance that they were the soldiers brought by Master Li.
"Kill your motherfucker."
Swearing is an uncivilized behavior, but on the battlefield, it is a very good way to boost morale. Five hundred swordsmen and axemen will advance and retreat together, using broadswords, giant axes, and lightning strikes.
The Jurchen warriors who defended the Guanzhai were not left behind. They were brave and skilled in fighting, wielding giant axes, and resisted the Song army's attacks one after another.
Before I knew it, it was already evening.
At the foot of the hillside, the fiercely burning firewood was still making loud crackling noises, the hot water was still rolling and gurgling, and the soldiers were still eating rudely, making that frowning "chirp, chirp, chirp" sound.
Yang Zaixing---shouldn't he be asleep yet? Maybe he's just closing his eyes to rest.
The sound of metal colliding on the slope never stopped for even a second. The shouts and screams were still lingering on the cliff, and corpses were already piled up at the pass.
"call---!"
A Jurchen warrior with big braids, holding two large axes in his hands with arm spans above the knees, panting hard, his eyes began to become hollow, and the originally sharp ax blade had rolled up a large piece.
It can be seen that the armor of the Song Army is not a defective product, and the weapons supervisor did not cut corners. In fact, even if it is a defective product, I am afraid that these two axes will not be much better, because he has been killing for a whole day, starting from early morning.
During the evening of the killing, there was never a break. I just took a few sips of wine to quench my thirst.
"General--General, this--continuing the fight like this is not an option, but--the hateful Southerners are charging endlessly, and the brothers can no longer hold on."
Mou Ke was panting harder than him and could hardly speak.
The two people stared at each other and panted hard.
As a defender, you can imagine how exhausted the soldiers below are.
The braided general gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't make sense. When did the southerners become so brave? I have fought in battles all my life, and I have never seen such a tough enemy. After fighting for a whole day, he is still so brave."
This is really not something Song Jun can do.
Although Yang Zaixing is a brave general and a murderous maniac, he is not brave and without plans. He attacked here for two consecutive days and found that he was still unable to break through this pass, even though his number was more than double that of the opponent.
.But that curved slope is too deadly. The advantage of having more troops cannot be used at all, and it also makes it impossible to use the long-range weapons they are best at. The Jin army can concentrate their firepower on the curved slope, causing them to be defeated by the enemy every time they attack.
Blocked it.
He knew that a strong attack was not the answer. But what he was best at was a strong attack, and he saw that the opponent's troops were far smaller than his own. Thinking of this, he suddenly came up with a plan. He divided his warriors into five teams, each with 500 people, and took turns.
The charge is limited to half an hour. That is about an hour. When the hour is up, immediately retreat, and the second group will take over and continue the charge. While he is cooking meat below, the soldiers who come down should not think about anything else and start charging quickly.
Eat, sleep after eating, and go to bed after eating and drinking.
This Jurchen warrior didn't know the situation. When he saw the enemy attacking in the early morning, he immediately came up to block it. But once he started, he couldn't stop anymore. The Song army just kept charging. There was no pause or stop in the battle.
Logically speaking, the Jurchen warriors could only kill with red eyes. At first, they still had the advantage because they were condescending, but after three rounds of charge, the two sides began to fight evenly. After five rounds, the Jurchen warriors gradually became exhausted, and the Song army gained the upper hand.
Every time the Song army charged, the soldiers had enough food and sleep. The Jurchen warriors did not receive such good treatment. They kept fighting. In fact, the Jurchens were quite durable, but the problem was that after ten hours, so did they.
Flesh and blood bodies, how can they still have physical strength? Their quivers are still full of arrows. What does this mean? It means that they don’t even have the skills to shoot arrows. They just fired a few arrows in the first round of charge, and then they kept shooting.
Fight naked.
However, the Song army was very active on its own and had the upper hand, so it was even more unreasonable and unreasonable.
By the time the Jurchens came to their senses, they were already facing sunset. Just like the setting sun, the day was running out.
"General, the enemy has rushed out."
A soldier said dancing in front of Yang Zaixing who was jumping excitedly.
"These Jurchen Tatars finally launched a death charge. It really made me wait."
Yang Zaixing smiled contemptuously and said: "Tell all the soldiers on the front line to retreat."
"yes."
Yang Zaixing shouted to the soldiers beside the cauldron again: "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, don't just eat for yourself. We have eaten meat for a long time, but the enemy didn't even drink the saliva. Give them some broth."
"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses. They used big wooden spoons to pick up the big elbows and threw them to the soldiers beside them. Then they all picked up the big pots and walked to both sides of the ramp, arranging them neatly.
After a while, the sound of killing gradually approached, and the Song soldiers retreated as if retreating from a court.
And the golden soldiers in front of them were all arrogant and glaring, their eyes were red with blood, and their long boots stepped on the muddy water, splashing everywhere, and everyone was covered with muddy water.
When the Song Army in front retreated down the slope, the Song Army on both sides suddenly rushed out. They poured a pot on the Jin Army. It was boiling hot. Although their armor was hard, it also had very good thermal conductivity.
, it was so hot that it screamed, round after round, the strong smell of meat immediately covered up the smell of blood. All the people here did not fight in an environment filled with fragrance. For the people of Song Dynasty, this was definitely
A kind of enjoyment, but for Jin Jun, this is definitely a nightmare.
The soldiers in the front rolled on the ground and screamed loudly, while the soldiers in the back were even more depressed. I've been hungry all day, so you just made a few pots of broth. Aren't you trying to starve us to death?
Without saying a word, Yang Zaixing strode over dragging two giant axes. He took the lead and chopped down people he saw. He walked up on the corpses and swept them away with the axe. Several heads flew away. He had rested for a whole day.
Facing Jin Jun who was exhausted both physically and mentally and with a growling stomach, it was like a lion fighting a rabbit, a complete crushing.
The Song army behind followed the boss from the foot of the slope up to the bend, and continued to kill around the bend.
This was originally the death charge of the Jin Army. They fought hard, but the fire in their hearts had been extinguished by the broth, and the little energy left in their hearts was chopped into ashes by Yang Zaixing. Under the heavy axe, all
It's a tired egg.
An hour later, when it was just dark, all the Jin troops in this Guanzhai were wiped out. Yang Zaixing didn't even give them a chance to surrender. He didn't give up until the last person fell. The black armor was already stained red with blood.
In fact, he never gave the impression that he was from the Shenji Camp, because most of his armors were red.
ps: There were originally two chapters here, but I wrote them too late last night and slept until the afternoon, so I posted the two chapters at once, continuing at the pace of three updates. (To be continued)
