The four hundred and twentieth eight chapters Quartet chaos wars
Cai You was obviously eager to take back Youyan's great contribution last time. He didn't know what route he took to come to Hebei to take advantage of his achievements.
This would be fine on a normal day, but it happened to be the eve of an unprecedented war between the Song and Jin Dynasties. As Youyan's neighbor, Hebei was the backer and backer of Youyan's nearly 200,000 Song army. In such an important position, a man with little ability and official background came to
Outrageous Cai You, but this guy is not a fuel-efficient guy.
At this point, Yang Lin had no extra energy to be angry with the monarchs and ministers of Bianliang, so he turned around and arranged the defense of Yizhou Prefecture.
"The Jurchens came with the power of destroying the Liao Dynasty and tried to advance the two armies at the same time. They must be arrogant and conceited. We must not give up an inch of ground. Only after we have suppressed their arrogance will the next battle be easy to fight."
Hearing what Shaozai meant, he wanted to fight with the Jurchens for every defensive fortification outside the city. This was very different from the harassment tactics in the mountains. Seeing the suspicious faces of the generals, Yang Lin smiled and said: "Yes.
Fortifications were no longer afraid of their heavy cavalry charges. We could just harass and kill them in the mountains, but defending the territory against the enemy required our soldiers to fight to the death. When we took a step back, the Jurchen Tatars took a step forward.
How will the attached people and local forces view us in the Song Dynasty? It is difficult to gather people and easy to separate them. What I want is to lose none of the ten military states of Youyan!"
This sentence was resounding, lingering in the hearts of the generals in Chengtou, and there was a high-spirited fighting spirit. They were all generals who were promoted in Youyan with the young master. Perhaps it was not the last battle, and they would never be able to touch it.
The threshold from soldier to general.
The current battle is obviously more intense than the last time. Shaozai has resigned from the position of deputy marshal of troops and horses, but he is sitting in Youyan and is the well-deserved commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Among these young generals, who is not willing to work hard for Shaozai?
, follow him to usher in glory again.
Nowadays, one wave has not subsided and another wave has arisen. The Jurchens have gone and returned, bringing with them more abundant men, horses and supplies.
After the fall of Shangjing, the Jurchens managed to strengthen their military strength in the heartland of the Liao people they occupied.
In addition to the mature Jurchens in Liaodong, they also recruited a large number of Bohai people, Xi people and other former Khitan vassal ethnic groups into the army. There were also many Han children in Liaodong who were driven as vassals. These vassal soldiers and horses are because the Jurchens have not yet managed a vassal army.
Their experience and combat effectiveness are mediocre, but their siege ability has been greatly improved.
Nowadays, because of the large number of mature women from Liaodong joining in, the real strength of the real women that Aguda can now command has reached a scale of close to 100,000 people!
One hundred thousand Jurchen soldiers were already five times as many as the Jurchen army that destroyed the Liao Dynasty. Coupled with countless vassal armies and birth slaves, the Jurchen army's shortcomings in military strength had been made up to the greatest extent.
Wanyan Zonghan has also been under the Great Wall in the north of Yandi, silently accumulating strength and recruiting soldiers. Aguda's identity makes people unconsciously focus on the Jurchen West Route Army. As a Jurchen general at the moment
, the commanding skills of Zong Han and his subordinate Lou Shi were definitely not inferior to Aguda, and Lou Shi was even called the number one Jurchen general by later generations. Once this group of troops is activated, it will have the power of thunder.
Including the main force of the real Jurchen, various vassal armies, and various driven civilians. Even Zong Han couldn't figure out the exact number of troops and horses dispatched. He could only estimate that it was more than 150,000.
These two armies entered Yizhou from Yuzhou and advanced from west to east. They moved from north to south along the gap in the Great Wall between the high mountains and ridges, pointing directly at Tanzhou and Yanjing.
According to Xi Yin's plan, after they planned to defeat this Southern Dynasty army, the two armies converged at the foot of Yanjing City, then swept through the entire land of Youyan, and then headed south into the Song Dynasty and Hebei armies.
After Wanyan Zonghan's 150,000 troops gathered and launched their troops, the land of Youyan was suddenly filled with flames of war, and there were Jurchen cavalry everywhere. Under the cover of the deployed cavalry, the real Jurchen forces were pointing towards Tanzhou and Yanjing.
.And a large number of vassal troops, like locusts, swept through the rural Wubao towns such as Tanzhou and Yanjing, which had slightly recovered their vitality, to raise food for the goddess's main force, to capture captives for birth, and to plunder property.
In just a few days, the entire northern Yan region seemed to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming Jurchen army!
Thick smoke rose, and Wang Zhen held the reins and jumped out of the smoke. The string of the riding bow in his hand had broken, and the armor on his body was full of scars.
The elite knights following him turned out to be more than 2,000, and they were all good men who could fight in Youyan. At this time, less than half of them were left.
There were only one or two remaining people in the village in front of them, and tears rolled down their faces. At this time, they also led their horses and carts, holding back their panic, fear and tears, and began to collect the bodies of their fellow villagers.
At this moment, in the village, there were only burned houses and corpses all over the ground. In addition to Wang Zhen's men, these corpses included the people in the village and a group of Bohai soldiers from the Jin Kingdom who had been strangled by them.
Wang Zhen has no intention of staying here for a long time. The war is now in chaos and there are Jurchen cavalry sentries everywhere. If he stays in any place for a long time, he is in danger of being targeted.
He waved his spear and led his men straight to Tanzhou. When they arrived at the Tanzhou government office, there was already a scene of war and chaos. The newly repaired city walls were surrounded, the city gates were closed, and all the men and strong men came to the city. And the city
A large number of powerful soldiers and horses from all over the place gathered outside, as well as some ordinary people who had struggled to gather together.
Wang Zhen saw an acquaintance among the cavalry outside and said loudly: "Hu Yantong, why don't you open the city gate and welcome the people into the city?"
"Still entering the city? The surrounding area has been completely destroyed. The Jurchen Tatars may attack at any time. Po Han Shuai has ordered me to escort them to Jizhou."
Only then did Wang Zhen understand that the most powerful Song cavalry outside the city were fighting outside the city to delay the Jurchen army and cover the people's escape to Jizhou. Jizhou was not within the Han Zong war zone, so it might be possible to save it.
They were protected from the flames of war in Youyan and saved the lives of the few people in Yanland.
"Wang, you are of no use here. It is better to go to Juyongguan in Changping and support Zongze." Hu Yantong shouted as he drove his soldiers and horses, and took the people away eastward. He looked back and grinned: "I
After sending away these burdens, I will join you."
"Is Han Shuai going to give up Tanzhou?" Wang Zhen asked with a frown.
"Pohan Wu wants to defend Tanzhou by himself. I said he doesn't have the ability. He was whipped by a dog every day. Now everything is messed up. You don't have to be rigid. When the demons are dancing around, you have to learn to see the situation for yourself.
Let's fight." After Hu Yantong finished speaking, he had no time to continue chatting with him. He urged the people to go eastward as if he were driving horses and cattle and sheep.
Wang Zhen pondered for a moment on his horse, then commanded his men: "Let's go to Juyongguan!"
