Chapter 1230: Thousands of miles of help! Reinforcement from the sky! (2) [2 in 1]
"Qiang!"
"Qiang Qiang!"
In the Han army's main formation on the outskirts of Dongcheng, Shanyang, Han general Ju Xin and Wei general Wu Ji each wielded long-handled weapons and clinked into a ball.
At this time, nearby, many Wei soldiers from the Shang Shui army also entered the ranks of the Korean army, and they were inseparable from the Quyang army.
It has to be said that in the previous siege battle against Shanyang, the strength of the Quyang soldiers was evident. Even the Shanyang army under the command of Yan King Zhao Hongjiang, which had been shining brightly in the past six months, found it very difficult to face the Quyang soldiers.
However, now in front of Shang Shui's soldiers, Qu Yang's soldiers fell into a disadvantage in a short period of time, and were defeated by the former.
The drop in morale is certainly one thing. After all, no one in the Korean army expected that the troops under the command of Wei Gongzi Run would come to support by such a coincidence, so that the thousands of Korean troops who were still outside the city at this moment were facing tens of thousands.
When the Wei army planned to reinforce the army, they were already frightened, and there was no fighting spirit left.
Another point is the difference in equipment.
Even though the weapons and equipment worn by the Shangshui soldiers have been in use for nearly two years and have been extremely worn due to repeated expeditions, and are about to be replaced, but even so, the sharp long swords in the hands of the Korean infantry still require a lot of effort.
Only by piercing the armor of Wei soldiers - but the Shang Shui army are not fools, wouldn't they turn around and use shields to resist?
Shang Shuijun, who has rich combat experience, has figured out some tricks to kill the enemy and save his life during long years of fighting. For example, when the enemy's sharp blade stabs his armor, he suddenly turns sideways, and then uses the shield of his left hand to face the enemy.
A heavy shield strike, and then take advantage of the situation to hit the opponent hard.
As for the enemy's chops, unfortunately, the Shang Shui Army has yet to encounter an enemy whose armor can be broken through with just one chop.
This is the advantage that equipment brings.
Relying on weapons and armor that were still excellent and reliable after two years of use, the Shangshui Army had an overwhelming advantage over the Quyang Army. Even when comparing the hard power of the soldiers, the difference between the two soldiers was actually not that far apart.
"puff--"
"ah!"
The screams of the Han army in Quyang kept coming and going, which shocked Han General Ju Xin.
Neither he nor the Quyang soldiers under his command have actually fought against the Shang Shui army so far. They have only heard that the defeated generals Bao Yuan, Jin Ao, and Feng Ting who were defeated by Wei Gongzi Run mentioned that "King Su"
The power of the army
——Shang Shui Army, Yanling Army, (Shang Shui) Youma Army, Bao Yuan and others spoke very highly of these three Wei armies, so much so that Ju Xin once wondered if these people were trying to elevate their opponents.
to escape the punishment of defeat.
It was only at this moment, when Ju Xin saw with his own eyes that the Qu Yang Army under his command was retreating steadily in front of the Shang Shui Army, did Ju Xin realize that the warnings given by Bao Yuan, Jin Ao, and Feng Tong were not just words.
"Damn it! Wei Jun's reinforcements actually caught such a flaw..."
While parrying Wu Ji's attack, Ju Xin cursed secretly in his heart.
He felt that his luck was really bad. He did not expect that the reinforcements led by Wei Gongzi Run would fall from the sky when their Korean army had broken through Shanyang and 60 to 70% of the soldiers had already entered the city. As a result, his Korean army was suddenly trapped.
Passive.
This is simply God’s protection for Wei Gongzi Run!
Coincidences like this have never happened many times since ancient times!
"Hey, where are you looking?"
Just when Ju Xin was distracted, he suddenly heard the warning from the Wei general in front of him.
He was startled and immediately came to his senses, using the long knife in his hand to block the Wei general's heavy attack.
The heavy force caused the iron rod body of the long-handled sword in Ju Xin's hand to curve horribly.
"Damn it! This bastard named Wu Ji has such a heavy arm?!"
Ju Xin was cursing secretly, when suddenly the horse under his crotch couldn't bear it anymore, bent his knees and leaned forward, knocking him off.
It must be said that Ju Xin was worthy of being a fierce general at the level of the top ten heroes of Beiyuan. When he fell, he swung his long-handled sword and actually broke the two front legs of Wu Ji's horse.
Wu Ji heard a pitiful cry from his horse. Unable to stand still, Wu Ji also pushed his master off his back.
"General!"
"General!"
Amidst the exclamations of the nearby Han and Wei soldiers, Ju Xin and Wu Ji quickly climbed up from the snow, waving their long-handled swords and fighting again.
To be honest, Ju Xin didn't want to fight Wu Ji at this moment because he was very worried about his Quyang soldiers who had already entered Shanyang County.
After all, just now, Wei Gongzi Run's reinforcements had entered the city, which made Wu Ji very worried about his subordinates.
However, Wu Ji clung to him, leaving him unable to do anything.
What makes Ju Xin even more angry is that Wu Ji, a Wei general, is quite powerful. Even compared to Wei Gong Zijiang, he is not inferior to him, or even worse.
Because he was distracted by worrying about his subordinates in Shanyang City, Ju Xin could not display his usual strength at this moment.
On the other hand, Wu Ji, because he had no psychological burden, became more and more comfortable in fighting, so that he gradually suppressed Ju Xin.
Gradually, Ju Xin couldn't hold it anymore, and he couldn't help but said: "Wu Ji, I know you, you are the general of the Shang Shui Army... The majestic general of the Shang Shui Army did not command the soldiers, but showed off the bravery of a mere man!
Aren't you worried that your subordinates will be in disarray?"
Wu Ji looked at Ju Xin with some surprise, but the movements in his hands showed no sign of slowing down.
It's a good thing that Wu Ji is not familiar with Ju Xin, otherwise if he were someone who knew Ju Xin's deeds, he would be ridiculed at this moment, because Ju Xin, like Lian Pi, is a fierce general who highly values personal force. He is the kind of "Although
I am good at commanding, but I just like to be a warrior who acts alone and recklessly.
Especially when encountering a strong general like Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang, who is very powerful in terms of personal strength, whether he is honest or ruthless, he will not be able to hold back his itch, and will ride alone to kill him regardless of the dissuasion of the soldiers around him.
Therefore, in a sense, Ju Xin said such words at this moment, which means that he has a guilty conscience.
However, Wu Ji didn't know about Ju Xin's deeds. He just said truthfully: "Worried? What is there to worry about? There are many generals in our army who are better at commanding than me..."
This is indeed true. Among the Wei and Qin coalition forces brought by King Su Zhao Hongrun to Shanyang County, there is no shortage of generals who are good at commanding, such as Zhao Hongrun himself, Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingba, and Zhai Huang of the Shang Shui Army.
, Nanmen Chi, even Xu Jiong and Chen Shu who were at the level of three thousand generals, and Ran Teng, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, etc. who were at the level of one thousand generals, were all generals who were good at commanding local small-scale wars.
To be honest, there is not much difference whether Wu Ji, the general of the merchant navy, directs the war.
"Perhaps I don't have the talent for commanding... However, there are things I can do, such as keeping you, the top ten heroes of Beiyuan!" Wu Ji suppressed the smile on his face and lowered his voice.
"Arrogant!" Ju Xin yelled angrily, waving his sword with all his strength and sweeping towards Wu Ji.
However, as if Wu Ji had expected it, he squatted down suddenly and barely avoided the blow.
A few strands of hair fell, Wu Ji quickly pulled out the sword from his waist with his left hand, and when Ju Xin had no time to withdraw his strength, he cut the armor in his abdomen with his backhand.
"..."
Ju Xin subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Wu Ji in surprise.
"General!"
When Ju Xin's guards not far away saw it, they gathered around him one after another and said to Ju Xin: "You can't stay here for long, general, retreat immediately!"
"retreat?"
Ju Xin secretly laughed bitterly.
Yes, now that things have happened, he no longer expects to rescue the Korean army in the city. It is already difficult to save his own life.
Retreat? Easier said than done!
He glanced around and saw that the soldiers of Shang Shui had vaguely surrounded them. The reason why they had not attacked yet was just to respect the competition between Ju Xin and Wu Ji.
But if he turned around and ran away, I believe those Wei soldiers would greet him with the crossbow arrows in their hands - no Wei man would refuse the merit of killing a Korean general!
"Leave……"
Under Ju Xin's solemn gaze, Wu Ji held a long-handled sword in his right hand and tilted it behind his back, and held a sharp sword in his left hand across his chest. A pair of tigers stared at Ju Xin intently.
"...your head!"
"Go away!" Pushing his guard to the side, Ji Xin stared at Wu Ji, took a deep breath, held long-handled swords in both hands, and assumed an attack posture.
He knew that unless he killed the leader of the Wei army in front of him in a fair battle and shaken the minds of the surrounding Wei army, he would never be able to leave here alive.
"Young boy, you want to kill me?!"
With a loud shout, Ju Xin took the lead in attacking. However, Wu Ji's movements were not slow either. The two long-handled weapons collided fiercely. The forceful wave of air even caused the surrounding Shang Shui soldiers to show off.
A look of solemnity and horror.
At the same time, in Shanyang City, similar to the situation of Han general Ju Xin, the two Korean armies of Quyang Army and Handan Army were also facing a dangerous threat. Reinforcements from the Qin and Wei armies came from the south gate of Shanyang respectively.
He broke into the east city gate and killed the Korean army by surprise.
The first to enter Shanyang City was the Iron Eagle Cavalry led by Yangquan Jun Yingbo.
When this Qin cavalry under the banner of "Qin" entered the city, the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang who were still fighting along the southern city wall and desperately blocking the Han army were almost desperate: before the Han army could retreat, the Qin army killed them again.
Entering Shanyang?
After all, ever since the "Victory of Wei Qin Sanchuan Battle" spread throughout the country, the people of Shanyang have judged the Qin people as enemies.
However, at the moment of despair, the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County saw the Qin cavalry and launched a merciless attack on the Korean army.
With it difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County stood near the city wall and watched the Qin army with vigilance.
At this moment, they discovered that the Qin army was actually holding military flags with the word "Wei" in them.
What does this mean? Is it the flag of our Wei army captured by the Qin army?
However, the captured flags are not used in this way.
The soldiers and civilians in Shanyang County couldn't understand it.
At this time, the generals of the Qin army led by Yangquan Jun Yingbo saw him shouting in a deep voice to the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County who were wary of the people above and below the city: "Listen, people of Wei in Shanyang, our Qin army is going to attack this time."
At the request of Wei Gongzi Run, I made a special trip to assist in guarding Shanyang! ... We are friends, not enemies, so don’t hurt us accidentally!”
Wei Gongzi Run?
Is it His Royal Highness Prince Su?!
The Shanyang soldiers and civilians above and below the city were greatly surprised, or an old Shanyang soldier asked in shock: "Aren't your country and I, the Wei Dynasty, still at war some time ago?"
"It's over a long time ago." Yangquan Jun Yingbo glanced around at the nearby Wei people and shouted loudly: "Right now, Qin and Wei have formed an alliance. Your Highness, the prince of your country, Run, will marry my princess of Da Qin, and I, Da Qin
His Royal Highness, the Young Master, will also marry the princess of your country, and the two countries of Qin and Wei will form a marriage alliance!"
"this……"
The soldiers and civilians in nearby Shanyang County looked at each other in shock.
Thinking about it, it is simply unbelievable that two countries that were fighting each other for life and death half a year ago suddenly married each other and concluded an alliance.
But if you think about it carefully, Shanyang County is now on the verge of life and death, and there is really no need for the Qin army to deceive them.
So after a brief silence, the residents of Shanyang County in the nearby area burst into cheers that shook the world.
Seeing this, Yang Quanjun Yingbo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not worried about the Korean army in Shanyang County. After all, no matter how powerful the Korean army was, they could not defeat the Wei soldiers under Wei Gongzi Run.
The only thing he worried about when he entered the city was that the Shanyang people mistakenly regarded his Qin army as an accomplice of the Han army. If unnecessary casualties occurred due to misunderstanding between the two sides, he would not be able to explain it to Wei Gongzi Run.
After all, in a sense, that Wei Gongzi Run is now the uncle of their Qin people.
"This general!"
Dozens of veterans of the Shanyang Army came out one after another. Among them, an uncle clasped his fists and said, "Please allow me to wait and follow your army temporarily to avoid accidental injuries."
Yangquan Jun Yingbo nodded when he heard this: "Thank you!"
At this time, Yangquan Jun won the tattooed army under his command, and had defeated the Korean army above and below the city wall. He planted the "Qin" and "Wei" military flags all over the city wall, and along the city wall, he took advantage of the situation to attack the west and east walls.
.
During this period, because the Qin soldiers held high flags with the word "Wei" and shouted slogans such as "We are the reinforcements of Shanyang", the Shanyang soldiers they met along the way joined the Qin army one after another.
While leading the Qin army to pursue the Han army in the city, Yangquan Jun Yingbo noticed the corpses in the streets and alleys of the city.
Looking at the corpses in civilian clothes, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: Does Wei State also have a similar tattooed army?
He asked the veterans of the Shanyang Army who had cleared the way for the Qin Army, and the latter told him angrily that it was the Han Army that was massacring civilians in Shanyang City.
Hearing this, Yangquan Jun Yingbo frowned deeply.
To be fair, in fact, looking back more than 20 years ago, when the Qin State was expanding externally, it repeatedly committed evil acts such as robbing the enemy's property, women, and massacring the enemy's civilians. However, Yangquan Jun Yingbo himself did not like this ugly behavior very much.
.
Having said that, with Zuo Shu Chang Wei Yang and others bringing the culture and customs of the Central Plains into the Qin State, the Qin State has rarely committed massacres of civilians in the past twenty years. At most, it has demoted the civilians of the enemy country to lowly households.
Confiscate their property unless these lowly households obtain titles through military service.
Therefore, Yangquan Jun Yingbo was very surprised. Even the Qin people who were scorned as barbarians in the Western Region no longer slaughtered civilians. The army of South Korea, which admires the culture of the Central Plains, is still continuing this ugly evil behavior.
Since Han Jun is this kind of guy, then there is no need for him to be merciful when he wins.
Thinking of this, Yangquan Jun Yingba issued an order to the Qin army under his command: Any Han soldier holding a sword must be killed without mercy!
The Qin army's attack from behind made the Korean troops who had already entered the city feel confused.
They never imagined that when they captured Shanyang, a Qin army would come out behind them, and this Qin army actually came to rescue the Wei people in Shanyang.
Why?!
What on earth is going on?!
Aren't Qin and Wei two countries at war?!
With all kinds of incomprehensible confusion, the Korean soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Cavalry and the Tattooed Army.
At the east gate of Shanyang, Qin Shaojun also led a Qin army and half of the Shang Shui army into the city.
When he saw the corpses of Shanyang people everywhere, especially the corpses of women and children, Qin Shaojun's face turned blue.
Although for some reasons, she is not yet able to marry Wei Gongzi Run and become the Wei people's Princess Su, this does not prevent her from treating the Wei people as her compatriots. (I originally wanted to use "subjects", but it felt so awkward.
.)
Qin and Wei have been on good terms for generations and will never conflict again. This is her biggest long-cherished wish now.
However, the Han army was actually massacring the Wei civilians in Shanyang, not even sparing women and children?!
Thinking of this, she pointed at the Korean soldiers far ahead and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!...No need to show mercy!"
In fact, even if she did not give such an order, the soldiers of Shangshui would not show mercy to the Korean army in the city.
When they entered the city and saw the corpses of civilians everywhere in Shanyang City, the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army were already furious.
Don’t think that because the Shang Shui Army was from Chu, they would not care about the casualties of civilians in Shanyang County. You must know that before and after King Su Zhao Hongrun led them to attack Korea last year, the Shang Shui Army passed by Shanyang and stationed outside the city.
Especially when Wei won the second Northern Xinjiang Campaign and the Shang Shui Army triumphantly returned to Shanyang to temporarily station, the people of Shanyang organized themselves to express their gratitude to the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army and sent some wine, food, and melons.
If they were sent to the station of the Shang Navy, some daring girls from Shanyang County even secretly showed their love to the soldiers of the Shang Navy.
After all, Shanyang County is the county seat where King Yan Zhao Hongjiang is stationed, and King Su's army is the army under King Su Zhao Hongrun. The friendship between these two highnesses makes the relationship between the people of Shanyang and King Su's army very good.
But now that they saw the soldiers and civilians of Shanyang County being massacred by the Korean army, the soldiers of the Shangshui Army were filled with anger and wanted to kill all the Korean soldiers in the city.
"kill!"
Groups of merchant navy roared into the streets and alleys, killing all the Korean soldiers they encountered along the way.
"Bang!"
Thousands of people kicked Ran Teng open the door of a private house.
Inside the house, two Korean soldiers were seen holding long swords with smiles on their faces.
On the bed inside the house, there was a naked Korean soldier who was insulting a crying Shanyang woman.
"They all deserve to die!"
Cursing angrily, Ran Teng stepped forward, and with several Shangshui soldiers who poured into the room behind him, they killed the two Korean soldiers. As for the Han soldier who jumped down from the bed with a look of fear, he was killed by that soldier.
Several Shang Shui soldiers were hacked to death with knives, leaving their bodies bloody and bloody.
Ran Teng glanced at the Shanyang woman and saw that she was wrapped in bedclothes with a fearful face and huddled in the corner with tears on her face. He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
I remember when he was temporarily stationed outside Shanyang City, because of his rugged and strong appearance, several Shanyang girls showed love to him, all of whom were as old as the girl in front of him.
Ran Teng stepped forward and gently held the woman in his arms. Ran Teng comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid anymore, our Shang Shui Army has arrived in Shanyang..."
"Shang...water..."
The girl in her arms wanted to push Ran Teng away with a look of fear at first, but after hearing "Shang Shuijun", her frightened expression gradually relaxed, and she lay in Ran Teng's arms and sobbed silently.
Ran Teng patted the woman's back and comforted her softly. Gradually, the woman fell asleep.
Seeing this, Ran Teng laid her down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then walked out of the house.
"Leave two people, the rest, follow me!"
Two Shang Shui soldiers were left behind, and Ran Teng walked towards the depths of the street with a gloomy expression.
While passing through an alley, three or five Korean soldiers rushed out of the alley.
The five Korean soldiers seemed to be being chased by other Shangshui soldiers. When they saw Ran Teng's group of dozens of people, a look of despair appeared on their faces. They immediately dropped their weapons, knelt down on the ground, and said
: "I surrender, I surrender..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Ran Teng saw him waving the sword in his hand and slashing the two nearest Korean soldiers to the ground with two strokes.
The other three Korean soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and quickly picked up the weapons thrown on the ground. Unfortunately, Ran Teng moved faster than them, and slashed the three Korean soldiers with three swords.
Die on the ground.
Looking at Ran Teng, who looked gloomy and was covered in blood, dozens of Shang Shui soldiers behind him looked at each other in shock.
Or one of the corps commanders whispered hesitantly: "Thousands of generals from Ran Teng abandoned their weapons and surrendered..."
Yes, those who surrender will not be killed. This was the past rule of King Su's army.
"Really?" Ran Teng glanced at the corps commander expressionlessly and said lightly: "That's because I didn't hear clearly..."
The corps commander was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the corpses of Shanyang people all around, as if aware of it, and then immediately corrected him: "No, I was wrong. These five people are going to attack you, a thousand-man general!"
Hearing this, dozens of Shangshui soldiers nearby echoed his words.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Ran Teng's cold face, and then he lowered his voice and said: "If you are held accountable later, I will bear it. For now, you can follow me and kill all those beasts in the city!"
"yes!"
Dozens of Shangshui soldiers responded.
After that, Ran Teng led his men and continued to fight deep into the city. During this period, the Korean troops they encountered, regardless of whether they abandoned their weapons or surrendered, were all killed by Ran Teng's team, leaving no one alive.
In fact, Ran Teng's team of Shang Shui soldiers were not the only ones doing this. After seeing the corpses of Shanyang civilians strewn all over the city, most of the Shang Shui soldiers seemed to have suffered from a kind of intermittent deafness and intermittent blindness.
strange disease:them
He turned a deaf ear to the Korean soldiers who shouted "I am willing to surrender" and swarmed them to death; if they accidentally saw other merchant comrades slaughtering the Korean soldiers who had lost their weapons, they turned a blind eye and acted as if nothing had happened.
Walked by.
Over time, generals such as Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, Xu Jiong, and Chen Shu also noticed the abnormal behavior of their subordinates, but they tacitly agreed that no one mentioned it.
Because even they have a burning rage in their hearts that needs to be vented.
At the same time, King Su Zhao Hongrun led Wei Jiao, Que'er and some Wei soldiers to repel the Korean army near the east city gate and stepped onto the city wall.
On the city wall, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan led the Princess Sun of Yan, the Li family, the Sun family, and dozens of Shanyang soldiers, waiting for Zhao Hongrun's arrival as if they were welcoming guests.
In full view of everyone, Zhao Hongrun walked up to King Yan Zhao Hongjiang, looked at the Fourth King Brother who might have turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and cupped his hands with his fists: "Fourth Brother, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
King Yan Zhao Hongjiang held Zhao Hongrun's hand. Although he had a thousand words to say, he was so excited that he could not speak at this moment.
Even if Zhao Hongrun's reinforcements arrived in Shanyang in early March, it could be said to be extremely fast, but the former led tens of thousands of Qin and Wei coalition forces to arrive in Shanyang on February 26th. This was no longer enough to use magic alone.
describe.
Everyone in Shanyang County who survived this battle owed their lives to "King Su Zhao Run".
