Chapter 1480 The paper-clad Jin Army, the iron-clad Xiangyang(1/2)
As early as November 26, Xu Yuan, the genius who usually remained calm when the Taishan Mountain collapsed in front of him, once lost control of his emotions and burst into tears in front of all the Song Army generals in Xiangyang: "The general's star has fallen! My lord, he is dead!"
Lost my arms!"
On the battlefield, Xu Yuan had long believed that Han Zeye was unique on the Western Front. When he was recuperating in Hedong, he said personally: "The main battlefields are in Qinzhou, Hanjiang, and Huaihe. They are resisted by Zeye, Wu, and the Lord respectively. Naturally,
It's foolproof." Now two of the three have to be replaced by him and Feng Xiaoyin in a hurry.
In the Jianghu, Xu Yuan will always remember that Han Zeye forced Song Heng to go against the will of heaven and earth. In order to help Lin Qian win, he directly sacrificed himself with only half his life. In the cold wind, Xu Yuan did not miss his master.
He lost any of his subordinates, but knew that Han Zeye might not be able to survive against fate, so he didn't have much hope when he tried to persuade him: "Stay alive, Han Zeye..." "Stay alive... After Tianjiao's death, Li whip
Let's go together..." That smile was pale but firm. At that time, Xu Yuan truly began to understand this Jiufen Tianxia, which had long been as famous as himself but had also been an enemy...
Is Xu Yuan the only one who has fought side by side with Han Zeye? In northern Sichuan and in Pingliang, Chen Xu and Mu Ziteng were all Pao Ze! Who can be ruthless than grass and trees? Ze Ye's death was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
The hearts of the Allied troops on the center line were shaken. Fortunately, people like Yue Feng, Peng Yibin, and Shen Yan, who were not very familiar with Ze Ye, were there. Without saying a word, they rushed to the front line and shouldered the burden of assisting Zhao Chun in the offense and defense. Only then did they help Xu Yuan and Chen Xu
Waiting for others to survive this unprecedented period of suffering——
On November 27th, the Jin army planted a flag on a high ground in the west of Xiangyang City, and wrote a message of peace on it, with the intention of further weakening the morale of the besieged Song army. Yue Feng immediately gathered several rebels to climb the building to seize the flag, and Fu Jin whipped it out and defended it.
They were all dispersed. That night, Brother Shen Yan and the brave men of the army went out of the city, sailed across the river and continued to rob the stronghold, burning the Jin army's grain ships and dozens of warships.
On the 28th, Zhao Chun watched from a distance at the top of the city and saw that the houses outside the city were burned, but the walls of the earthen storehouse were still there. He realized: "The Jin army always has death squads using this wall as a cover, hiding under the wall and shooting the defenders of our city tower."
." So he made a decisive decision and ordered thirty officers and soldiers to go out of the city and destroy the wall. Seeing this, the learned and talented Wanyan Kuang was not to be outdone, and immediately sent more than 300 Jin troops to cover up the attack. Zhao Chun's men fought bravely and joined forces on the city.
Defeat the Jin army. The rebel army Peng Yibin immediately led his troops to Xiangjiang Xizhou, and exchanged crossbows with thousands of Jin army's backup. From Chenshi to Youshi, the Jin army was defeated, with many casualties.
In two days, even though the future of the Western Front was uncertain, Xu Yuan, Chen Xu, and Mu Ziteng recovered as much as possible and returned to the front of the battle line, rejoining the division of labor and cooperation with their comrades: "My lord has already gone to rescue us, and we will do our best to fulfill our duties!"
Yes, you can’t admonish those who have gone by, but you can still pursue those who have come!
On the 29th, "Jing Salamander" found out that Wanyan Kuang had built a pontoon bridge in Dongjin to facilitate transportation. Chen Xu suggested that Zhao Chun "use an old boat to carry oil tanks and hay, and let people who are familiar with water properties release the boat from above. When they get to the pontoon bridge, burn the boat."
"Burn the bridge while everyone dives to evacuate." On the same day, the brigade under Zhao Chun, General Pei, Xu Yuan, and Mu Ziteng, went to Xiangjiang Xizhou and the north bank of the river to fight fiercely with the generals or masters of the Jin army who came for revenge.
.
At that time, Wanyan Kuang had a large number of people. Although he had not yet launched a full-scale attack, there was already a dark cloud that was threatening to destroy the city. The generals included Wanyan Jiangshan, Wugu Lun Qingshou, Wugu sun Wutun, Wanyan followed the lead, and the masters
They were Feng Han, You Wusi, Gu Madam, etc. That night, the Jin and Song Dynasties started a fierce fight on the river, and no one expected that it would last until dawn the next day.
With the protection and support of Xu Yuan's "Gui Kong Jue", Mu Ziteng successfully passed through the two levels of Feng Han and Gu Fu with his gun. It was not until he met the monk named Youwusi that he was slightly hindered. Fortunately,
When the pair of judge's pens were typing the words "Dun Shu", a golden light fell from the sky in time, sweeping freely and spreading smoothly, preventing Mu Ziteng from losing his composure before the battle. Suddenly, there was a heavy wind and rain on the river, which was Yue Feng's "whip."
You can enjoy the winds of the four seasons”!
Day and night alternate, the two deputy village leaders in the off-road dream and in reality hand over so smoothly and naturally.
"Master Zhao sent us for reinforcements - everyone is here, it's our turn!" Peng Yibin caught up from behind. He was always the strongest in adversity. After stabilizing the exhausted Mu Ziteng and Xu Yuan, he took his place.
The two went to the opposite side to fight Wugu Lun Qingshou and Wugu Sun Wutun, who happened to come to replace Feng Han and Mrs. Gu. Peng Yibin shouted and rushed into the battle while drawing his unyielding sword. The Song troops behind him could not tell whether they were officers or soldiers.
They were still rebels. For a moment, Mu and Mu's ears were filled with drum beats, their eyes were filled with sparks, and their hearts were filled with the thought that we would never be alone!
Once upon a time, the arena turned into a battlefield, and the sparring turned into a fight to the death, but it has always been the case, with the sword in hand, hitting the water in the middle of the current, and the waves stopping the flying boat.
After a moment of calm, the two of them caught up again, using whatever strength they could, and even in a melee, they were on the same page!
In terms of the number of soldiers and horses alone, the Jin Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak. There was an extreme disparity. However, in terms of morale, it was clear that the Jin and Song Dynasties were evenly matched. In terms of masters, the Song Army was clearly superior. Taking the Mu Family Spear as the benchmark, the Quiet Cloud Sword, and the Unyielding Sword were below it.
, Reverse Scale Spear, Feng Xu Dao was slightly stronger, Judge Pen, and Fu Jin Whip were on top. Therefore, everyone quickly selected their opponents, and the battle situation was naturally divided into one-on-one, two-on-two, and several whirlpools. Mu Ziteng again
There were no comparable opponents, so they attacked the ordinary people who couldn't even name their weapons.
Along the way, he was invincible in all directions with the pointed tip of his gun. He stabbed straight like a poisonous snake spitting out messages, swept across like an ox turning a corner, and slanted out like a dragon emerging from the water. He was unstoppable, domineering, and majestic. He was worthy of being the "all over the world" in the nine-point world. However, the lightning
Between the flint and stone, the color of the river and the sky suddenly changed unexpectedly, and a sword rushed out unexpectedly, stopping his continued attack without any explanation...
That sword was surprisingly heavy, fast, tricky, and ruthless. It split open Mu Zi Teng's gun with great force. It actually had the internal strength, physical strength and speed to catch up with the master. Yes, Mu Zi Teng should not underestimate the enemy, and should not forget that Deng Tang's
It was this person who defeated Luo Qingyi in the battle. Although everyone thought it was because Luo Qingyi was exhausted by others first, it turned out not to be...
Mu Ziteng's first impression is that if he compares himself to Guan Yu, most of whom are in front of him are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and Wugu Lun Qingshou and Wugu Sun Wutun can barely count Yan Liangwen Chou, then he is the one who defeats the extremely difficult Wanyan Jiangshan.
Suddenly, Lu Bu appeared!
Mu Zi Teng was already stronger than him, and he was caught off guard, almost unable to parry within ten moves. Fortunately, a sword and a spear suddenly came out from the side, both of which were women. Duan Xu Hanxing, why did he hear Yin, and came at the right time!
With three enemies against one, he was able to resolve the danger of his life. However, Mo and Liu came to Xiangyang to capture Wu Shi under the orders of Feng Xiaoyin. The amazing thing is that regarding this order, both Bai Qingzhou and Fan Jing thought it would be possible.
He carved a boat and asked for a sword, but as soon as he returned to the city, where people were gathering, a man suddenly rushed out and hugged Mo Ru tightly. He couldn't help but said with joy: "Mo Nuxia, you're okay! I've been waiting for you..." Disguise
She has been dressed up, but she is definitely Wu Shi!
Who knows whether he is sincere or fake? To this day, it is impossible for Mo Ru not to remember the back of Wan Yanzhan she saw at Wu Shi's camp before Deng and Tang's defeat. She also fully remembers that it was Wu Shi who started the "could it be treachery" after the defeat?
"He is the one responsible for spreading rumors and causing trouble... Could he be the culprit who lost his way? What's more, his father is Wu Xi, a sinner through the ages who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country on the Western Front! So even though he happily chased her out to see her without caring about his own life, as if his true feelings were revealed, she
But with an order, Liu Wenyin and others surrounded him with swords, guns, swords and halberds: "Take it down!"
After three days of separation, the soldiers looked at each other with admiration. Although the intersection was hurried and all the generals on the center line saw it, they were different from the past. Their words and deeds were all tough.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, in view of the heavy casualties suffered by both the Jin and Song Dynasties in this large-scale night battle, Wanyan Kuang sent a captured Song man to shout surrender on the east wall of the city, but to no avail. On the second day of the lunar month, Wanyan Kuang sent another
Dozens of people rode to the west of the city, and one person was in the forefront. He dressed up in a strange way and called himself an "angel". He said rudely: "I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise you will be ruined!"
"Oh my God, you're such a bully! I'll smear my liver and brains on your face!" Peng Yibin was so moved that regardless of whether he would lead a bad child or not, he learned from Qian Shuang in the city and became a Shandong man. Although Meng Puyu was only eleven years old,
Sui, who had the same courage as him, angrily yelled at the people beside him: "Why are you afraid of throwing your head? You can't bow your head!"
Mu Ziteng was the most straightforward. After asking for Zhao Chun's tassel, he protruded directly from the antlers and stabbed the angel to death with one shot. He took his head and demonstrated to Wanyan Kuang: "You don't have any brains, just let your angel come and die."
!" The young man is full of energy and arrogance.
In anger, Wanyan Kuang transported bamboo wood, ladders, goose carts, caves, artillery stones, attacking tools, grass cattle, and homespun bags to the outside of the city, and ordered "an all-out attack on Xiangyang!" After hearing the news, Zhao Chun came to the city wall to command in person and secretly ordered his subordinates.
: "Prepare the distribution of gunpowder arrows, cannon stones, etc., and be patient."
On the night of the twelfth lunar month, the Jin army completed their formation, with infantry in front and cavalry behind, swarming up to fight quickly. Zhao Chun ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to be silent and not to make any noise, waiting for the enemy to get closer and closer until they could reach the range of bows and crossbows, and then issued orders to everyone.
Arrows fired.
The battle started in a moment. Although the Jin army was caught off guard, they were prepared with bows and crossbows. In an instant, the arrows were as dense as locusts, and countless arrows covered the sky and the moon. Who has eyes during the confrontation? Even though Zhao Chun was hit by two arrows, he still
Xu Yuan, who urged him to retreat to the second line, shook his head and said decisively: "It is said that Xiangyang is a city made of iron, so the prefect of Xiangyang should be made of iron."
"The military doctors in Xiangyang are just blacksmiths..." The military doctors also risked their lives, but they were so influenced by the coach that they were not afraid and instead joked easily.
However, Zhao Chun did not have martial arts to protect his body after all, so even though he received Xu Yuan's true energy, he was still unconscious for a period of time. However, Xu Yuan knew very well that with such a general dying without respecting his example, how could it affect the unity of Xiangyang's soldiers and people!
"First use rockets to burn the bamboo, wood, grass cattle, artillery and other attacking tools carried by the Jin soldiers." Xu Yuan followed Zhao Chun's original strategy and took command. The martial arts prodigy's ability to unite the army was no less than that of Master Zhao. The Song army had already
After fighting for many days, they all obeyed without distinction. In an instant, smoke and flames broke out all over the city, and bows, ballistas, and stones were shot down from a high position. From Mao Shi to Shen Shi, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties and were all defeated. They abandoned their weapons, armor, bows, and arrows.
Clothing and other items.
Yue Feng, who was good at attacking by force, immediately organized troops and horses to go out of the city to chase and kill. He controlled the wind and clouds with whips and displayed great power. Seeing that the commander was full of murderous intent, all the soldiers rushed over and crossed Shuihao to kill the Jin army. They got many heads. When the battle was settled,
They took inventory and burned down more than a hundred companies of ladders and seized countless weapons from the opponent. On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the morale of the Jin army was dampened and they broke camp and retreated. The Song army pursued them to the temple outside the city and found more than a million arrows in their cache, which boosted their morale. On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month,
The Xiangyang Army and the recently resurrected Song Army stronghold in Dengzhou attacked from the north and south, burning more than a million grain and grass stored by the Jin Army along the way, completely destroying Wanyan Kuang's preparations to attack Xiangyang again.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Jing Ju once again found out that the Jin army wanted to mobilize thousands of troops and horses to attack the Song army's new stronghold in Dengzhou. After Zhao Chun learned about it, he took the advice of his aide Zhao Wannian and sent the Song army to where they must pass.
Road interception and killing: "Our army's masters lured the enemy head-on, and the crossbowmen laid ambush on the beach moraine, shooting from above and below." The Jin army did not expect this, and either drowned or fled in confusion. When Mu Ziteng led his elite to pursue and annihilate, Jin Jun heard that
Defeated soldiers in the army looked at each other and cried: "How can I get my son-in-law back after he was killed by the Confederate army?" Naturally, I was puzzled: Which prince-in-law was killed by our army? I seem to remember that there is no prince-son-in-law in the center line... Is it Pu Sankui? However, the sea rises
Mingyue had no similar information for the time being, and Mu Zi Teng thought: Maybe it was a rumor, but thank you for the rumor, which caused the Jin army to become more chaotic.
After Mu Ziteng returned in triumph, the crisis in Xiangyang came to an end. Wanyan Kuang announced the general offensive on the second day of the Lunar New Year until he collapsed on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Xu Yuan looked at the high-spirited soldiers and vaguely understood: Especially Zi Teng,
Yue Feng and Yi Bin are outstanding pioneers, backbone and back-up candidates. They can also be regarded as a fresh combination after the big waves in the mid-line. They are very good and can hold back the Jin Army for 200,000.
Because the Song Army's strategy of using offense instead of defense to "become elusive, specialize in plundering strongholds, specializing in burning attacking tools, and specializing in robbing grain and grass" has been tried and tested, and the partnership between Jingyu and Luo Yuankong is far more sophisticated than the Jin Army's substitute for Suzaku.
Because of his strong strength, Wanyan Kuang suffered repeated setbacks in Xiangyang. He thought that he could not hang himself on a tree all the time, so he sometimes divided his troops to attack Anlu, Yingcheng, Yunmeng, Hanchuan, Jingshan and other counties first. He could stop a few armies elsewhere.
There were only a few reinforcements from the Song army, so they were able to feel proud and proud.
Wanyan Kuang heard that Wanyan Jing was in good health, so he donated the beautiful woman he had captured earlier, and won back Wanyan Jing's beaming praise. You could see his grin from ear to ear through the edict: "Master Wanyan, you have commanded the army many times.
Winning the battle, annihilating the enemy soldiers, pacifying the surrender, and opening up territory day by day. The enemy relied on the Han River as a dangerous obstacle, but you whipped your horse across as if walking on plain ground, and it was not difficult to pacify Jingchu. Even though God blessed it so smoothly, it was because of you.
The credit for planning should be more ambitious to suit my wishes."
It’s okay if you don’t praise it, but if you praise it, it’s hard to get off the tiger. Think more ambitiously? Wanyan Kuang still has to capture Xiangyang! But how to defeat it? Since the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, King Cao has sent all his masters back to the Western Front to defeat Lin Qian
Well, what was going on was that the Song army in Xiangyang was getting stronger and stronger. At that time, there was no distinction between official, army and rebel forces——
The stronger the artillery fire, the stronger it becomes. Xiangyang was besieged for more than half a month, but it was really "more than ten thousand soldiers fighting against two hundred thousand fierce prisoners"! In addition to the master's cover, every attack will win, the city's own defense system also
It is becoming more and more mature: there are nine miles and 341 steps in the surrounding area. There is a sheep and horse wall outside the city, and there is a water moat outside the wall. Outside the sheep and horse wall, there is a layer of deer antlers; the embankment of the north city gate has a heavy moat with two layers of deer antlers for ambush.
The strong men guarded their horses. In addition to setting up crossbowmen on the city, they also used warships to carry crossbowmen under the river bank to guard day and night. The residents in the city were divided into four corners, and five families formed a group to detect spies. Although there were people like Wu Shi
There were fish that slipped through the net, but many had been screened out before. Hua Fang's two apprentices were even left idle by Xu Yuan for various reasons.
During the period, Bai Qingzhou Fanjing, who was a few days behind Mo Ru and Liu Wenyin, also ventured to Xiangyang City. He Huiru, who had been staying with Bai Qingzhou a few months ago, was attacked by Xue Huan during the Battle of Hedong.
After the war, Lin Qian ordered her to go back to western Guizhou to seek a solution to the threat of "poisoning you to destroy your fighting power." However, she failed. Seeing that Xue Huan's thunder was heavy and the rain was light, and knowing that Lin Qian needed her very much, Hui Ru spontaneously returned to
