Chapter 1532 The defeat of the war, the decline of the general gate of the Western Army
Xiao Tang saw that Huang You had already taken off his armor. After being diagnosed and treated by An Daoquan, several army lieutenants applied medicine to his wounds and were about to bandage them with linen. He fought bloody battles and resisted to the death.
There were several arrow sores and many shocking scars. However, Huang You looked as usual and still straightened his body, still like steel striking iron, and did not care at all about his injuries.
Seeing that this Song general was also a tough guy who looked like he was made of iron and steel, Xiao Tang also secretly praised him in his heart. He had often talked with Liu Faxian in the past. On that day, the general of the gods talked about the past in his tent.
The national general who served under me had heard about Huang You's name and origin, so he respectfully returned the greeting and said: "General Huang is loyal and upright, and he does not hesitate to fight for the country. I admire him very much. He is indeed worthy of Liu Jinglue's praise.
A person who has passed."
When Huang You heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Liu Jinglue, our benefactor at the end of the line, was indeed rescued by Xun Zangyi! But I don't know where my benefactor is now?"
"Now Liu Jinglue and other rebel soldiers and horses under my command are setting up defenses in the Heshuo area to be on guard against the Jin Kingdom's troops heading south from the east road at any time. When the situation calms down a bit, General Huang and Liu Jinglue will have a chance to meet again."
Huang You was temporarily relieved after hearing Xiao Tang's comforting words, and then said decisively: "The last general is still what he said. Now the war in Taiyuan, Hedong is urgent, and Xiao Shuai is willing to accept the encouragement when he is useful to the last general!"
Xiao Tang nodded slightly and secretly heard from Liu Fa that he had mentioned this person's words and deeds. This Huang You can also be said to be an anomaly in this era. He entered Taixue at the age of fifteen and rose to prominence in Guozixue.
, and became a Jinshi, and successively served as county magistrate, prefectural magistrate, etc., which also proved that his talent and ability were enough to gain a foothold in the civil service group of the Song Dynasty. However, in the general environment of the Song Dynasty where culture was used to control military affairs, Huang You
He devoted himself to seeking a military position in the military brigade of the border troops of Hebei and the border areas of the western border where wars were frequent. Now he is regarded as a staff officer under the supervision of the envoy. Among the civil servants, there are many people who despise the vulgar and reckless man who came from the military. Huang You
In the eyes of those people, his behavior was undoubtedly that his parents in Jingzhou County, Song Dynasty, who wanted to stay away from the war in peace and happiness, did not do anything official, but instead wanted to go to the border to engage in low-level activities. Isn't this because they were out of their mind?
Liu Fa also asked Huang You in confusion about his thoughts, and he responded impassionedly by saying, "In case I write a warning and my body is wrapped in horse leather, it is my original intention." Although he was born in Imperial College, he also honed his civil and military skills in the border army.
Jianji not only has the ability to command an army of soldiers and horses to fight, but can also analyze the battle situation and plan according to local conditions.
This Huang You seems to be a very typical idealist. Xiao Tang thought to himself that compared with his long-cherished aspirations, he put personal gains and losses very lightly. Now, with hatred for the country and family, he only thinks about how to face difficulties and resist foreign humiliation.
, so even if the relationship between Xiao Tang's troops and the imperial court is still somewhat strange and sensitive, Huang You is still willing to do his best to help the rebel army, which he can only rely on at the moment, to resist the Jin army.
After all, in the official history, the Jin army made it clear that its focus was on attacking Taiyuan, and they deployed their battle formations to annihilate more than 100,000 soldiers and horses rushed to the Song court for reinforcements. The Song army lost a large number of effective forces, so not only Hedong was bound to be unable to be defended, but even
He also taught the Jin army to infiltrate and invade the borders of Shaanxi, causing the remaining Bianting Western Army tribes that had not yet recovered their strength to suffer a fatal blow. In addition to factors such as the fact that the Jin army was extremely powerful and unstoppable, the Song court
Because the ministers of the main war faction were too radical and interfered in the military affairs, they ordered the army to move rashly and had to go to withstand the siege of the Jin Army. Yao Gu and other Western Army generals overdue and did not go to support the urgently needed troops.
The soldiers and horses supported the troops together. The Jin army was full of Yan Nianhan, and its silver skills could wait for the general to coordinate it well. However, the Song Dynasty still committed suicide by itself, causing the Western Army's commander-in-chief to die in battle, and was easily defeated by the enemy. This
How can there be any chance of winning?
And Huang You did think the same way. He had already passed through the gate of hell. With his intelligence, the Song army clearly had many soldiers who decided to die to protect the territory, but why were they defeated so cowardly after several battles? He You can't help but understand. The battles between the imperial troops defending Hedong are now being fought to a pulp, which also makes him, a marching army general, disheartened. Although he is willing to risk his life to defend his homeland, he also understands that the Song Army is involved internally. There are too many bad things to do to restore the decline. Even if Xiao Tang once betrayed the court, he was first grateful that he had saved the life of his former benefactor Liu Fa, and now he is not controlled by the court. No matter whether Xiao Tang is an official due to temporary Whether he is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, or he is the leader of all the rebel armies, as long as he is the only hope that can drive out the Jin Kingdom Tatars and keep Hedong intact, why shouldn't I work together with him? ?
Mr. Xiaozhong was unconscious, and the Song army along his way had been completely disabled. Huang You, a general dispatched by the Song court, took the initiative to promise to serve as the army's staff officer. Of course, Xiao Tang was happy to recruit him. and worked together to resist the Jin. Especially now that he and the Zhong division took the lead in advancing to Hedong, and fought with the Jin army in many large and small formations. Huang You could also provide a lot of assistance when considering the terrain and analyzing the enemy's distribution and movements.
After killing Xiong Ling and rescuing Mr. Xiaozhong, he also killed Wanyan Huonv, He Ni and other generals. The main force of the Jin army led by Yin Shuke, who was besieging Taiyuan city from a hundred miles away, should have known that the Song Dynasty had conveniently sent a large number of reinforcements to kill him. Behind them, in case they were stabbed severely in the back by the enemy during an all-out attack on the city, they must have mobilized their troops to set up their positions and fight with the rebel armies led by Xiao Tang in front of Taiyuan City.
While Xiao Tang was dispatching troops again, he rushed to the aid of Han Shizhong in Shaanzhou. Reports of the fast-horse battle had also arrived from Niugao. There were brave anti-Jin Zhongyi and social protection volunteers from the Taihang Mountain chain village and Heshuo. The troops were gathered along the route, and Han Shizhong commanded and dispatched them to suddenly attack behind the Jin army that besieged Shaanzhou and achieved a great victory.
First, Niu Gao led the Dangqi army to ride hard to the commander's tent camp set up by the Jin army. Then Han Shizhong took advantage of the momentary collapse of the enemy army and ordered the entire army to cover up and kill them. Li Xiaozhong, who was defending the city wall, learned that reinforcements had arrived in time. After that, they immediately led the soldiers and civilians in the city to open the city gate and rush out. The Jin army obviously did not predict that the Song army had been completely defeated in the previous attack, but they were still able to gather so many soldiers and horses in a short period of time in the direction of Yuhedong Road. , the two armies commanded by Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, the Taihang Mountain Chain Village, the Anti-Jin Zhongyi Baoshe Volunteer Army, and several Jingnan armies commanded by Li Xiaozhong, plus the self-recruitment of civilians in the Gyeonggi, Hedong, Guanshan and Shaanxi areas, and the Green Forest Resistance Army Jin Yiyong's numbers numbered one hundred thousand. The Jin army's outflanking divisions were caught off guard and were killed. Han Shizhong, one of the four ZTE generals in official history, was under the command of Ruoding. A great victory was inevitable in Xiaotang. within expectations.
As for the generals who led the Jin army, they were besieged and killed by Li Xiaozhong and several rebel leaders led by him during the Wulu retreat. Aqianlan was killed by Niu Gao who rushed to the front and was beaten to death by his mace. All the officers and soldiers were killed in the rebellion, and the Jin army in Shaanzhou was almost completely annihilated. From then on, Xiao Tang's rebel army and the Song court's forbidden army were freed from worries.
However, what still made Xiao Tang sigh in the battle report was that Niu Gao's side general Niu Geng of the Dangqi Army and Han Shizhong's side general Jin Ding of the side-crossing army were knocked down by the enemy generals due to being hit by stray arrows respectively during the melee.
The horses were trampled by the rebels and died one after another. Two more leaders were killed in the war against Jin Dynasty. Xiao Tang was inevitably depressed for a while, but he soon worked hard and sent orders to report to Han Shizhong, Niu Gao and Taihang Mountain Lianlianzhai.
, the Zhongyi Baoshe Rebels and the Forbidden Army Volunteers led by Li Xiaozhong joined forces, and then headed north to Taiyuan to coordinate the rebels under their command to prepare for a full-scale battle with the main force of the Jin Army.
On the other hand, Xiao Tang had previously known that the prefectural offices in Xiangzhou, Huazhou and other places north of Bianjing were also ordered to recruit martyrs, assemble the defeated troops in Hedong in the previous battles, and recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life.
Prepare to fight against Jin. Before sending his troops to kill Xiongling to rescue Mr. Xiao Zhong, he had ordered the leader Ma Ling, who was traveling to report military aircraft, and his cronies to go to various places to inform the soldiers who had been recruited in several state capitals to go north. This was also planned by Yin.
The main force of the Jin army led by Shu Ke made other preparations for the full-scale battle.
However, just as the battle was about to begin, and the fast horses traveling south of Taiyuan Prefecture were shuttling back and forth to deliver orders, an edict was also sent from the imperial court. Because Zhong Shizhong led the army in defeat, he was responsible for the loss of the defeated army.
The punishment was to be demoted to military rank.
The old Xianggong Zhong had to be controlled by the imperial court in Bianjing and felt that there was nothing he could do about it. The Xiaozhong Xianggong was indeed unjustly treated like this. However, now that the Zhong family has been subjugated, Xiao Tang was also a general of the Western Army for generations when he heard the edict.
The treatment suffered by the Yao family in Sanyuan, Shaanxi was even more miserable. As the backbone of the current Yao family's generals, Yao Gu failed to go to the aid of Zhongshi after the deadline.
Jiao Anjie falsely spread military information, causing the morale of the army to be shaken. When encountering soldiers from other branches of the Jin Army, they were severely defeated. The imperial court issued an edict to Yao Gu for his unforgivable crime in defeat, and even stripped Yao Gu of his official status and demoted him.
Set up Lingnan Guangzhou distribution.
The generals of the Yao family in Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province were descended from Yao Si, Yao Xiong and other generals who had made great military achievements in the western frontier. By this time, their decline had become a foregone conclusion when it came to Yao Gu. After hearing the news, what Xiao Tang thought of was the Yao family.
Yao Pingzhong, the young captain who had served under his command several times, couldn't help but think that now that the Yao family was in decline, he, a general who had made many meritorious deeds for the Song Dynasty, would still leave the army on his original track.
Instead of being a secluded person living in the mountains for decades?
