Wang De was from Shuyangzhai of the Tongyuan Army (today's Gansu Province), and he was from a standard Western Army background.
Before Jingkang, he was under the command of Yao Gu, the general of the Yao clan of the Western Army. Coinciding with the first large-scale invasion of the Jin Army, the East Route Army, led by the second prince Wan Libu, swept across Hebei and entered Weizhou via Xiangzhou, while the West Route Army Under the leadership of Nianhan, they locked the city of Taiyuan and continued southward. However, they passed through Longde Mansion (today's Shangdang) and went to Weizhou on the bank of the Yellow River to discuss the matter of crossing the river.
The main force of the Jin Army converged, and the Longde Mansion, Xiangzhou, and Weizhou areas basically gathered most of the main force of the Jin Army. The number of field elites like Meng'an Mouke alone was probably close to 100,000.
Yao Gu happened to be stationed in the southwest of Longde Prefecture (today's Shangdang Changzhi area) and the Zezhou area (today's Gaoping, Jincheng) to the west of Weizhou. Facing the main force of the Jin army, he sent Wang De, the most capable man in the army, to go there. Investigation.
Wang De successfully killed a Jin army general and returned calmly.
Yao Gu was overjoyed and asked him if he could go again.
So Wang De received the order for the second time, and actually led only 16 cavalry to set off, and then crossed the front line where the main force of the Jin army gathered, and went straight to Longde Prefecture Prefecture (later Changzhi), and captured alive the Khitan Han'er guardian Yao Taishi appointed by the Jin army. Then brought it back.
Later, the first siege of Jingkang ended and the Jin army retreated. Wang De sent Taishi Yao into Tokyo City. Yuan Sheng, also known as Song Qinzong, asked him how he was captured?
Taishi Yao had no choice but to say that when he was captured, he only saw a murderous Yaksha.
From then on, Wang De was nicknamed Wang Yaksha and became famous in both countries.
Such a person is definitely not as good as Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, but he is just not as good as Han and Yue Fei. If you give him a suitable opportunity, he may not be able to become famous in the two countries again.
In fact, although Han Shizhong looked down on Wang De, he said that Wang De was not a handsome man... But if you think about it carefully, Han Shizhong, who had made the declaration of "The World is First", should be looked down upon by everyone. He only said that Wang De was not a handsome man, so It is recognition that Wang De is a rare general.
In a sense, this is a certification.
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang De led twenty knights, plus two hundred long-axe-backed Wei troops, and took the lead in leaving the city to the east. Before they reached Zhang Yu's camp, Zhang Yu was alerted. The latter did not dare to neglect, and asked each camp to be cautious. While guarding, he hurriedly sent a message to Wanyan Wushu in the north. Finally, he and his deputy Li Dayin sent out all 2,000 soldiers of their headquarters to prepare for the camp... They did not recognize Wang De, and Wang De did not raise a flag. They just felt that the opponent's soldiers The horses are well-armored and don't look like ordinary people.
But after watching it for a long time, I found that the two hundred soldiers were just patrolling in front of the camp. They had no reinforcements, no flags to identify themselves, and no offensive posture or preparation. Even after a period of time, the leader Led by the majestic general, the two hundred and twenty-one people simply sat on the ground in front of the formation... Such a situation certainly aroused suspicion.
"What does this mean?" Three hundred steps away, Zhang Yu couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, so he turned to look at Li Dayin.
However, how could Li Dayin, a carpenter and so-called professional, know what this meant? He looked at it for a long time and just shook his head in silence.
"Do you know what this means?" Zhang Yu turned around and asked the personal guards who were following him. "Whoever comes up with something useful, I will reward him with two wives!"
Of course the two women are good, but they also have to be alive to be placed in the tent. Who knows what is useful, and whether it will be cut off if it is not useful?
All the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
The snow has not completely melted away, and the cold wind has been howling in the past few days. The ice, snow and dirt on the ground are frozen hard. The horse under Zhang Yu's crotch is quite impatient. The horse's hooves keep hitting the ground, and there is a hard sound, and
This also shows Zhang Yu's own impatience.
Sure enough, after a moment, Zhang Yu pointed at someone behind him: "Say it!"
"I...I don't know!" The man raised his head blankly, the cold weather making his nose run out.
Zhang Yu was furious. He smiled at first, then turned cold, then raised his hand directly: "Cut it off!"
Li Dayin next to him wanted to persuade him, but he sighed in his heart and managed to shrink back. Everyone was silent and could only watch as the soldier was stripped of his armor in public amidst his begging for mercy, and then chopped off the sacrificial flag with a knife.
"You!" Zhang Yufu pointed at another person. "I remember you are a scholar?"
"Yes, Supervisor." The person being asked this time happened to be Zhou Bin, who had survived the previous two-choice mode. At this moment, he was carrying a flag and shivering in the cold wind. He shuddered when he was clicked.
, and nodded quickly.
"Tell me!" Zhang Yu said simply. "What do you think this army of sub-officials is going to do?"
"It's to lure the enemy!" Zhou Bin almost blurted out. This was not what he said to fool the other party, but it was indeed what he thought from the beginning.
In fact, when Zhang Yu heard this, he was startled, but he immediately pointed his riding whip at this person and responded seriously: "Speak clearly!"
"Prisoner, please take a look!" Zhou Bin said through gritted teeth. "The officers and soldiers are neatly lined up. It is clear at a glance that there are only more than two hundred people! How dare two hundred people attack a stronghold of tens of thousands of people? They are clearly trying to lure us there.
...After they pass, they will definitely be defeated and retreat. And if our troops are in chaos and cannot be restrained from fighting, they will definitely follow them...And if there are many people who follow them, the city will not be stingy with stone bullets and fire those powerful stones.
The artillery is coming to attack us; if there were only a few people there, I am afraid there would have been an ambush waiting behind the sheep and horse wall, and they would swarm us and eat us in front of the city."
"It makes sense!" Li Dayin was the first to agree, but then he started gesticulating and gesticulating on the horse. "Brother, look... our camp is eight hundred steps away from Nanyang City, and the army's artillery can hit three hundred steps.
The effective distance of the crossbow on our stronghold wall is approximately two hundred steps. Calculating that the white ground between the two armies is only three hundred steps wide... If we really want to fight through, and we are greedy for merit or the good armor on this soldier,
I'm afraid I might be lured over."
Zhang Yu looked seriously at the more than two hundred Song soldiers sitting there, and became completely vigilant. He nodded repeatedly: "Brother, you are right! According to my military order, no one is allowed to fight without authorization before the reinforcements of Dajin arrive, otherwise
I must have chopped up the minced meat he made for the New Year!"
The two thousand soldiers who came out were eager for this, so naturally they were speechless.
In this way, the two sides continued to stalemate for a while. After a long time, with the sun rising, the messenger sent to Wanyan Wushu turned back.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yu looked forward in confusion. "Have you met the Fourth Prince in person?"
"Captain, the Fourth Prince said it himself." The messenger faced him on the horse. "He said no matter what happens, just let the Governor figure it out!"
Zhang Yu was stunned there. After thinking for a long time, he felt helpless and relaxed. He nodded and agreed, but at the same time asked the messenger to go back again so that he could tell the fourth prince, "He has the order."
As soon as the messenger left, Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then turned to his lieutenant Li Dayin: "Dayin, the weather is cold, the officers and soldiers want to lure the enemy, and the Jurchens are unwilling to fight, so we brothers shouldn't stay here to work hard.
, It seems that there are still four hours before sunset. You use the crossbows on the wall as evidence and lead a thousand soldiers to guard here for two hours. I will take the people back to rest and I will come to take your place later!"
Li Dayin was naturally speechless.
So, in the morning, it was a clear and cold winter day with howling wind. After judging that the Song army was here to lure the enemy, Zhang Yu, who came out of camp for a confrontation, took the initiative to divide his troops and retreat.
Three hundred steps away, Wang De saw this scene and finally made some move. He stood up and moved his hands and feet. Zhang Yu was reminded in the distance. When he came back and saw this scene, he was instinctively startled, and then shouted to stop the troops.
He stopped and watched again. But after watching for a while, he found that Song Jun only stood up and moved his hands and feet, and after moving for a while, he actually sat back down.
Zhang Yu felt confused. After thinking for a while, he became more convinced that the other party was trying to seduce him. He ignored it and continued to urge the already chaotic troops to return to the camp. But this time, the Song army
Indeed, he did not make any more mistakes...until Zhang Yu himself entered the camp gate and half of the troops behind him had already broken away from their original formation.
This is the moment Wang De has been waiting for!
The yaksha didn't say a word, but he suddenly got up and mounted his horse. The twenty knights beside him also mounted their horses one after another, and the two hundred long-axe-bearing Wei soldiers also stood up and picked up their long axes.
Li Dayin was startled in front of him, and wanted to turn around and call Zhang Yu, but then he thought about it, the other party probably saw that he and others saw through the plan, so he simply gave up on luring the enemy back to camp... If nothing else, who has the courage?
Two hundred against two thousand? After two thousand soldiers, there are stronghold walls and crossbowmen?
As soon as he thought about this, the genius craftsman reined in his horse and tried to remain calm.
However, as soon as he said it, he turned a corner in Li Dayin's heart. Before he could say anything, Wang De, who was on the horse, ignored him and led twenty horses to rush forward.
At the same time, one of the twenty horsemen's bodyguards directly opened a hanging flag that had been hidden for a long time. The winter wind was flying, and the flag was fluttering. It was none other than the eight "Deputy Commanders of the Royal Camp and the Central Army"
Large characters.
Maybe it was because he hadn't turned a corner for a while, but Li Dayin simply stayed on the spot at this time. He didn't wake up until he saw the opponent rushing about 180 steps in front of him... Moreover, he originally defended Tokyo during Jingkangzhong, and later he came to his senses.
They are under the command of the Tokyo Remaining Division, and they have been attacking Nanyang City for a long time. How could they not know that this flag refers to Wang De? And how could they not know who Wang De is? What ability does he have?
As a result, the man felt chills all over his body for a moment, but he didn't care about anything. He immediately turned back and prepared to escape into the formation before taking measurements.
However, at this time, Zhang Yu's two thousand soldiers were divided into two, and half of them left the original formation. The front group had followed Zhang Yu into the camp gate, and the rear group was still in the formation. It was already a bit chaotic... But now, seeing the Song army in
The world-famous Wang Yaksha led the attack. One of the two generals had already walked away, and the other actually tried to turn around and flee. Then the whole army's natural instinct to enter the camp accelerated and pushed. Those who should not have left also instinctively wanted to follow.
He took refuge in the camp.
Two thousand soldiers lined up with the main camp on their backs, but after twenty cavalry charged forward, they instantly fell into chaos.
Not to mention this, as a few scattered crossbows on the wall on the opposite side missed, Wang De jumped on his horse in the rebel formation, swung the long ax in his hand and hacked several people in succession, and easily hacked a group of soldiers in front of him to pieces.
After leaving the nest, just as Zhang Yu hurriedly turned around and Li Dayin was also shouting orders to resist in the formation, he was holding a bloody ax and shouting with all his strength:
"The King's Division has arrived! You rebels will die today!"
The sound was like winter thunder, shaking the rebels. As soon as the words were spoken, two hundred heavily armored and axe-armed soldiers behind them charged on foot and poured into the formation of the rebel soldiers on the opposite side, slashing wildly! Not only that,
As Wang De formally marched, drums were beating behind the sheep and horse wall in Nanyang City in the distance, and the shouts of killing suddenly began. No less than thousands of soldiers pushed down the section of the sheep and horse wall that had been hidden for a long time, and set up flying ladders in the outer trench.
Swarm out and head straight to the rebel camp to the east!
Two thousand soldiers whose formation has been broken, see this shape and listen to this sound
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yu was still calm. On the one hand, he killed the deserters at the camp gate and forced the group of soldiers who were already in chaos to move forward with all their strength. On the other hand, he ordered the crossbowmen on the wall to prepare for the upcoming attack.
The Song Army brigade launched an attack... and did not forget to send a messenger from the side gate of the camp to the Jin Army's stronghold to ask for help!
However, at the same time, Li Dayin, who was supposed to be commanding from the front, was already at a loss! Because Wang Yaksha had obviously focused on him, and he simply couldn't catch up with him with his twenty cavalry.
The place in front of the stronghold was narrow, and there was a panicked rebel group. Both sides were like eagles catching chickens, but the good times did not last long... It was not like those rebel soldiers had no eyes, seeing that Wang Yaksha was heading towards Li Dayin.
Moreover, the soldiers blocking the central army were often chopped into pieces by the long ax soldiers following Wang De, but they all woke up and took the initiative to stay away from their own generals.
As a result, it became more and more difficult for Li Dayin to escape... Without waiting for the arrival of the Song Army brigade, Wang De forced the talented carpenter in front of him. He first tried hard to block, but the weapon was instantly released, and then he completely lost his courage, almost
He faced the opponent's second swing of the ax with an indifferent attitude.
It's not his fault, he must be just a talented carpenter who was spotted by Zhang Yu and became his sworn brother.
But war is war. At this time, Wang Yaksha rushed into the battle alone, seemingly brave and invincible, but he knew the danger. How could he let go of this opportunity? So he struck with almost all his strength with his axe.
And when the ax went down, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the already chaotic battlefield seemed to have stopped for an instant - Wang Yaksha actually split Li Dayin in half from head to waist! Not only that, the big ax continued.
After falling down, he put the horse on the back again, and actually smashed the horse to its knees again. With just a cry, the long ax and all the internal organs of the body were tilted to the side, and there was no breath anymore.
At the same time, Wang De's horse was obviously weak, and he knelt down and wailed.
Wang Yaksha struggled to pull out the battle axe, but couldn't pull it for a moment, so he simply abandoned the battle axe, pulled out his sword, and got on the horse of one of the guards behind him.
When he got back on his horse, he wanted to shout loudly and continue shouting, "The King's Division has arrived." But when the rebel soldiers around saw that scene, no one dared to confront him. It was like a nest was blown up.
Usually, they flock to the camp gate and flee.
Wang De laughed when he saw this, and then he slashed with his sword and his horse, and forced him all the way to the camp gate... Seeing this situation, the rebel soldiers fled in an even more panic, and during the stampede, the momentum of pouring down the camp gate was already formed.
Zhang Yu at the camp gate was confused since he saw his brother split in half. He was almost pushed into the camp gate by the rebel army. Then, about three thousand people from the Song Army brigade came here under the leadership of Xin Yongzong (Xiao Xin).
When the time came, he almost took down the wall of the village with ease, and poured inward.
Not to mention, in the southeast of the camp, Zhang Jingbu, who had been well prepared, also timely led his troops across the glacier to attack the camp to the east.
Up to this point, the rebels were in chaos, almost in a confused state, and they were defeated. Many people surrendered in despair, and some even took the initiative to switch sides. Before the Song army arrived at the enemy camp, they took the initiative to shout, "The King's Division has arrived."
', echoed from afar.
Seeing that the camp to the east was no longer able to be saved, and the previous attack had completely frightened Zhang Yu, so he returned to the Chinese army's tent, and simply took hundreds of his followers and rolled up some of the soft soldiers to the front.
He went east, but he didn't dare to go to the north camp to see Wanyan Wushu.
As everyone knows, Wanyan Wushu will not blame him at all. The fourth prince simply sits in a towering watchtower in the Zhongjun Dazhai in the north, looking at the east Dazhai from a distance while drinking tea with Ba Lisu opposite him!
"This was defeated too quickly." Baz Lisu picked up the slightly cold tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the tea leaves and chewed them in his mouth. "I thought I could hold on, but even if I couldn't hold on, I should have fought hard for a while.
, Zhang Yu is really incompetent!"
"It's not that Zhang Yu is incompetent." Wu Shu kept shaking his head. "First of all, Zhang Yu's troops and horses were mostly used in the siege before arriving. The combat strength and morale of his army were far behind when they surrendered that day. Secondly, Wang Yaksha is well-deserved...
The military order not to fight without permission has been passed down, right?"
"Of course." Ba Lisu replied seriously, then put down the tea cup and sighed slightly. "Now I'm afraid that the Song Army's morale will rise quickly, but it will be difficult to control it later..."
"Didn't you already agree to this discussion?" Wu Shu frowned slightly. "No matter what their morale is, if we really want to fight, how can they resist our 30,000 cavalry?"
"I really agree, and I really think it's feasible." Ba Lisu quickly changed his appearance. "I'm just afraid of backfiring... Don't let the Emperor of Song really be escorted to Xiangyang. When Nanyang and Xiangyang are divided, we will really do it.
It’s difficult. It’s better to surround it on all sides and wait quietly for Marshal Talan to clear the north, and then come to help!”
"That's not what you said that day." Wu Shu sneered. "Actually, as long as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty leaves the city, where can he go? It's freezing cold and the Baihe River is frozen. We have already put ten thousand cavalry in the Western Camp.
As long as there is any movement at the south end, just make a big detour to the south and cover it all... How about letting you take care of this matter on behalf of Han Chang?"
My heart skipped a beat when I pulled away from Sudeng.
In fact, as Wu Shu said before and at this time, no matter what the Song army did, the Jin army only needed to retain 10,000 cavalry. Once they saw any changes in the Song army, they would directly go south and make a large flanking attack north of the Han River. The Song army
There is no luck.
It was precisely based on the recognition of this tactic that Ba Lisu gave in step by step. First, he gave up the strategy of only allowing entry but not exit; and then gave up the plan to encircle and annihilate Zhang Jing's department (because Zhang Jing came from Xiangyang, it was obvious that he was
Those who supported Emperor Zhao and Song Dynasty's march south, rather than purely being the troops of King Qin); now, they simply gave up Zhang Yu's tribe and the Craftsman Camp.
The purpose was to make the Song army underestimate the enemy step by step, but constantly learn about the overall situation in the north, thus tempting the Zhao and Song emperors in the city to leave the city and go south.
And this plan now seems to be more and more likely to succeed.
Of course, the current calmness is directly related to the overall situation of the entire Song Army's battle... If it weren't for the advantages of Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Talan, there would be a final choice to finally unite the army under this city.
You won't change your attitude easily even if you pull away from the speed.
Not to mention the bargaining between Lisu and Wushu, thousands of knights of the Jin army were lining up outside the east gate of the camp to the north of the Jin army for defense, and the Song army also immediately captured the camp of the rebel Zhang Yu's tribe to the east.
Arrange and gather the prisoners of war, and be careful to guard against the Jin army in the north.
Zhang Jing, Xin Yongzong, and Wang De all had battles with the Jin army and knew how powerful they were.
However, Wang De, who knew how to be powerful, didn't know if it was because he was obviously so keen on killing today that he felt a little unsatisfied. He actually beat the horse again and walked out of the north gate of the eastern Dazhai, and then observed the formation between the Dazhai.
The large group of cavalrymen of the Jin army were in good order for a moment, but suddenly blood seemed to rush to their heads, and then they actually reined up their horses alone and patrolled the Jin army from left to right.
Suddenly, he reined in his horse, pointed at a golden soldier opposite him who was probably the most majestic he had ever seen, and shouted in public: "Young man! He is so majestic, how dare you fight with grandpa?"
Both the Jin Army's cavalry brigade and the Song Army who were guarding the village were all shocked.
I must say a few more words here... Jurchens, especially mature Jurchens, as well as Bohai, Xi people and so on. In Liaodong, various ethnic groups were mixed. Once multiple ethnic groups communicated, they would generally communicate in Chinese, so the Jin Army
Although most of the leaders are illiterate, most of them understand Chinese, and they speak relatively vulgar Shandong and Hebei dialects.
Later in the past few years, some people who are older, have higher status, or are more Chinese-speaking, or have better tempers, have gradually become more refined, but most people are still one person at a time and a bird at a time...
Yan Wushu, he can talk about me, and basically not talk about birds, but in order to inherit the military power of his second brother and let the people below him recognize him, he keeps talking about me, half forced and half habitual.
In fact, if you asked him to write a serious scripture, the fourth prince would be able to write something similar.
All in all, back to the present, whether it is a bird boy or a grandpa, the Jurchens, Xi people, Khitan people, Liao Han'er, anyway, few of the cavalrymen who don't understand are all looking at the named person.
Pu Liyan.
At the same time, Wang De's provocation was not really about blood flowing to his head. He was a rough and tumble man, but he saw that the Jin army was lined up neatly and the Dazhai to the east was not yet stable, so he did it deliberately.
It is used to delay, to test, and to intimidate.
But no matter what, how could Pu Liyan endure being provoked like this in public? Besides, the military order of Bali Su You was not allowed to assist in the battle in the eastern Dazhai, so be careful. Now that the other party is actively provoking, how can he not dare?
So, under the gaze of everyone, this man abandoned his spear, bow and arrow, and flew out with a white blade, obviously falling into the trap.
But whether you fall into the trap, whether it is crude or subtle, the real result must be seen under the sword, so the two armies watched the battle with bated breath, preparing to appreciate it.
However, when the two of them crossed the horse, in just a flash, the Jurchen Pu Liyan was chopped off by Wang De under the horse! Just like chopping a melon!
Immediately, Wang De calmly dismounted, beheaded the man, got on his horse, and slowly withdrew into the stronghold, as if nothing had happened... Both armies were shocked and whispered to each other, knowing that this was Wang Yaksha Bai.
The sun has appeared.
Almost at the same time as Wang Yaksha shocked the two armies, two messengers galloped into the northern Dazhai of the Jin Army, and the other galloped to the gate of Nanyang City, and both of them saw the supreme commanders of both sides for the first time.
"What's the matter?" Balisu, who had just had a somewhat relaxed relationship with the fourth prince, asked curiously.
"It's okay." Wu Shu answered casually. "Wang Yan of the Eight-Character Army led 20,000 troops across the river to Tokyo. It's difficult to attack there...but it doesn't affect the overall situation."
"Official family?" On the top of the city, amidst the cold wind and joy, Lu Yihao stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
"Without him." Zhao Jiu put away the note in his hand and smiled. "Wang Yan led 20,000 troops across the river... Counting the time, we should have arrived in Tokyo by now."
Lu Yihao twisted his beard and nodded without saying a word, while the others were even more surprised.
