Chapter 137 decisive battle fourteen

Song Jingdong East Road Mizhou

Mizhou is said to be the eighth generation grandson of Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan, one of the common ancestors of the Chinese nation, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, that is, Emperor Shun was born in Zhufeng Village, north of the city, so it is also called "Dragon City".

The trade between Song Dynasty and overseas countries such as Japan and Goryeo was mainly concentrated in harbor cities such as Langya, Mizhou, and Dengzhou. The largest harbor on Song Jingdong East Road is Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and the capital of Song Mizhou Maritime Ware is also in Banqiao Town.

Before Song Jingkang, Banqiao Town was extremely prosperous. Every day, there were endless merchants from overseas and Song merchants from the mainland. Vehicle boats, merchant ships, etc. also had frequent exchanges and endless flows.

But after Jingkang, Mizhou's extremely Banqiao Town gradually became depressed and desolate. The reason was self-evident. The Jin army invaded the south, causing chaos in the north of Song Jiangbei. In the midst of war, who dared to do business?

In the first year of Jianwu of the Song Dynasty, the Jin army went south again to drink horses, and the army went straight to the two Huai Rivers, and the army headed directly to the south of the Yangtze River. The new imperial court moved south, and the Jiangbei areas also fell into the hands of the Jin people one after another.

The lands in Jiangbei fell into the hands of the Jin people, but it was not that every city in Jiangbei was controlled in the hands of the Jin people, nor that every Song army and civilian in Jiangbei surrendered to the power of the Jin people, but there were still many unyielding Song officials. The soldiers and civilians were fighting against the Jin army, such as Wang Yan's Bazi Army active in the Taihang Mountains, Zhao Bangjie's Wumashan Rebel Army, Gu Huaien, Zhao Li's Mizhou Rebel Army, etc.

Gu Huaien was originally the magistrate of Xuzhou, and Zhao Li was a battalion commander in Xuzhou army. After Xuzhou was captured by the Jin army, the magistrate Wang Resurrected the death of the death of the emperor. Zhao Li led the army to protect Gu Huaien and fought against the encirclement. Later, Gu Huaien and Zhao Li led the unyielding Song army and civilians to fight against the enemy in Mizhou and Dengzhou. At this time, the Song court had appointed Gu Huaien as the magistrate of Mizhou and Zhao Li as the chief military commander of Mizhou.

Gu Huai'en was the governor of Mizhou, and Zhao Li was the chief military commander of Mizhou. Of course, his capital should be in Mizhou, but at this time Mizhou was lost and fell into the hands of the Jin people. Therefore, Gu Huai'en and Zhao Li led the remaining soldiers and civilians to retreat to Banqiao Town. There were less than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, only more than ten ships, and there were even a very shortage of bows and arrows and other weapons.

The Song Dynasty "flees south" and the cities behind enemy lines such as Mizhou cannot get any support. The difficulty is imaginable. The Jin army, officials, soldiers, etc. who surrendered to the Jin court, and thieves who took the opportunity to cause trouble. After more than a year, the Mizhou city fell down due to the betrayal of the rebels. Gu Huai'en and Zhao Li led the remnants to retreat to the area of ​​Banqiao Town to fight the Jin people in the final struggle.

However, this is why the Jin army cannot make any moves for the time being, and there is no time to take care of Gu Huaien, Zhao Li and others, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on for so long.

"Boat...Master Gu, Zhao Dujian, have a boat, have a boat." On July 3, the third year of the Song Dynasty, Gu Huai'en and Zhao Li had just inspected the temporary construction in Banqiao Town and used it to resist the Jin army's camp. When they were about to take a break for a while, several soldiers rushed into Gu Huai'en and Zhao Li's residence and reported in panic.

"Where did the boat come from?" Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li was drowsy when he heard this, jumped up and asked in unison.

"There are so many people coming from the sea. My mother is so dark that I can't see the end at all." A local soldier was panting and a little excited.

Answered.

"Sea boat? Go out and take a look..." Gu Huai'en was surprised and surprised when he heard this. After saying that, he walked out first. Gu Huai'en was surprised that the sea boat came from and why he came to Banqiao Town. Is it an overseas merchant ship? You know, it's not a foreign merchant ship in Mizhou for a long time.

However, Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li and others were surprised, but they were not worried. The reason was that most of the Jin army was the mainland division, with very few ships and no sea ships. Therefore, Gu Huai'en and others were not worried that the ship was the Jin army's warship.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..."

"Woo...woo...woo...woo..."

Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li and others walked up to the wall of the village and looked up at the sea surface of Tangjiawan. They saw countless large and small sea boats sailing into Tangjiawan. The sails on the sea boats were like clouds hanging in the sky, and the flags on the boats also covered the sky. Some large warships were like hills, slowly sailing towards Banqiao Town Pier amid the sound of the shaking drums.

"Gu Zhizhou, Zhao Dujian, yes...yes... my Song Dynasty banner, my Song Dynasty boatman is my Song Dynasty boatman!" Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li's subordinates had already seen the flag of the boat clearly, so they ran back desperately, and reported loudly with excitement. The horse tent was shouting loudly, his throat was hoarse, and tears of excitement flowed in his eyes.

The "Song" flag on the commanding ship is now fluttering in the wind in the sea breeze.

"Master Gu, it is my Great Song Dynasty Zhou Shi, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers, hahahaha, the imperial army finally came, finally came, we are saved, we are saved!" The warship was getting closer and closer, and after Zhao Li confirmed it, he grabbed Gu Huaien and laughed excitedly, the man in his forties was like a child, and tears of excitement were flowing in his eyes.

The Jin army went south and the troops arrived at the city of Kaifeng. They all plundered the two emperors, palace concubines, palace maids, doctors, musicians, craftsmen, etc., and plundered all kinds of ritual instruments for sacrifice to heaven, the emperor's law, various books, musical instruments and other property, and destroyed the Song Dynasty. Such a great humiliation was like a huge rock pressing on the hearts of every subject of the Song Dynasty, which made people breathless. Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li and others were unwilling to accept it and fought to the death with the Jin people, but they were outnumbered, but they were defeated by the Jin army. They were about to be wiped out.

At this moment, a large number of warships in the imperial court suddenly appeared in Tangjiawan. It is estimated that there must be many soldiers on the ship. What does this mean? It shows that the Song Dynasty court has begun to counterattack the Jin army.

Gu Huai'en, Zhao Li and others are not dementia people. They didn't expect the key here, but they never expected that the court would use this method to counterattack the Jin army.

The landing of Mizhou, cut off the retreat route of the Jin army, and opened up a second battlefield. In this world, only Li Sanjian could think of it and put it into practice.

Li Sanjian lured the main army of the Jin army to Lianghuai, Dajiang, and fought against the Jin army in Lianghuai and Dajiang. Li Sanjian not only wanted to defeat the Jin army, but also had to cut off the retreat route of the Jin army in Dajiang and Huai. He also had to land in Mizhou, attack west and north, defeat the prefectures in various places, open up a second battlefield, and cut off the retreat route of the Jin army again. In this way, even if the Jin army was lucky enough to escape from the ancestral tombs, there would not be a few people who fled back to the north.

The Jin army went deeper several times and became accustomed to it, but he never expected that Li Sanjian would give them a fatal blow this time.

Song and Jin in Shaanxi

, Lianghuai and Dajiang fought fiercely with the Jin army. How could Gu Huaien, Zhao Li and others not know? They were always concerned about this war and this life-and-death battle. However, Gu Huaien, Zhao Li and others estimated that even if the imperial army defeated the Jin army, and then rushed to counterattack and recovered Mizhou, they didn't know when it was. At this moment, the royal army of the Song Dynasty suddenly arrived in Mizhou. How could Gu Huaien, Zhao Li and others not be overjoyed? They were so happy that their hearts seemed to jump out of their chests.

"Hurry, hurry up, open the village gate, we will go to the dock to welcome the king's army." Gu Huai'en shouted in joy. He was so excited that he staggered on the wall of the village and almost fell to the ground.

"Master Gu..." Zhao Li and others hurriedly supported Gu Huai'en.

Gu Huai'en, a Jinshi in the Xining period, was over fifty years old, but he still insisted on resisting behind enemy lines, which made people admire him very much.

"No obstacle, no obstacle, come out of the village to welcome the king's army." Gu Huai'en said with a smile.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Gu Huai'en, the governor of Chizhou, and Zhao Ligong, the governor of the military commander of Chizhou, welcomed the royal army!"

After Sima Wei, the chief general of the Black Flag Army of the Song Dynasty, commanded the ships to dock, more than 30,000 Black Flag Army soldiers disembarked one after another and boarded the dock.

These Black Flag Army soldiers were all dressed in black and black armor. They were almost all tall and burly, with a hint of murderous aura on their faces, and their expressions were chilling. Moreover, these Black Flag Army soldiers were all cavalry. When they were leading their horses off the ship, people suddenly shouted and neighed at the pier, which was very lively.

Gu Huai'en and Zhao Li were happy when they saw these black cavalrymen of the Song Dynasty, who had got off the ship, and were strong and strong, and they hurriedly met them.

"Gu Magistrate Gu, Zhao Dujian..." Min Wuyan, the commander of the Cavalry Army of the Song Dynasty, and Zhai Jin, the deputy commander of the Black Flag Army, Ding Weiyuan, and the deputy general Gao Yaofu came over. Min Wuyan rode on the horse and said to Gu Huaien and Zhao Li, the two of them: "I am the commander of the Cavalry Army of the Cavalry Army, Min Wuyan, and the armor is in her arms, so I can't be fully polite. What is the situation in Chizhou at present? How many soldiers and horses are there in the city? Come quickly and the army will immediately take Chizhou."

"Min rule..." Gu Huai'en replied: "There are not many soldiers in Chizhou, only more than two thousand people. Most of them are surrendered soldiers who surrender to the enemy, and only a few captured thieves."

When Min Wuyan talked to Gu Huaien, Zhao Li and others, he didn't even get a horse. His words and expressions seemed a little arrogant. This was simply unimaginable in the past. Song Dynasty was "literary nobles and martial arts were lowly". When did the military officials become so arrogant and rude when they saw the civil officials?

However, perhaps only these arrogant soldiers and powerful generals could win the battle. Gu Huaien thought about it again. At the same time, these arrogant soldiers and powerful generals were the confidants of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Sanjian. Therefore, Gu Huaien did not argue with Min Wuyan and told Min Wuyan and others in detail the defense situation in Chizhou City to Min Wuyan and others.
