Offensive and defensive battles in Sanhong County
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, interrupting Yang Yan's memories, and someone said, "Yang Zhengjiang, what are you doing here?" ”
Yang Yan looked back and saw that it was Wang Zheng, the leader of the Wei Army. In addition to controlling Liu Yanqing, he has the highest official position in the back army. He started as a lowest-level soldier, so he has been a soldier for more than 20 years before becoming a commander. Because he has been a soldier for many years, his prestige is higher than that of Liu Yanqing, who was in charge. However, he is relatively kind, and he doesn't bully recruits like Yang Yan and Cao Xun much.
Yang Yan secretly thought: Now that Liu Yanqing has died in battle, Wang Zheng should be promoted to one level and become the commander.
Wang Zheng was forty-five or sixteen years old, his helmet had long since disappeared, he was covered with blood, his right hand and abdomen were wrapped with white belt, and the blood marks had seeped out.
Yang Yan said: "Commander Wang, are you okay?" ”
Wang Zheng smiled: "It's okay, I can't die." Holding his left hand on his abdomen, he said, "Fortunately, this arrow is two inches off!" Otherwise...... Hehe, I finally got another life back!"
Cao Xun said: "Commander Wang, it's good that you're fine." Liu Tongzhi is dead, and the next attack on Hongxian County will be carried out, and the Beiwei army will still be commanded by you. ”
Wang Zheng shook his head and sighed: "No, no." He pointed to his right hand: "In two or three months, this arm will not be good, it seems that Shao Dutong is going to choose someone else to command the Beiwei army." By the way, what are you two doing here? ”
Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "When I saw the scene after the battle, my heart became very uncomfortable. ”
Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Yang Zhengjiang, Cao Zhengjiang, you are still young, and I was like this when I was young, I would vomit after the battle, I couldn't eat anything, and I still had nightmares at night, and I slowly got used to it." ”
Cao Xun said: "Commander Wang, is it like this at the beginning of every soldier. ”
Wang Zhengdao: "At least most of the soldiers were like this at the beginning. Looking around the battlefield, he sighed again: "This battle is not bad, in the thirty-first year of Shaoxing (1161), the battle between us and the Jin army on the Yangtze River in Quarshiji was called tragic!" But not only on the beach, but even the Yangtze River was full of corpses, dyeing the river red, and it took several days for the color to fade. ”
Yang Yan was about to speak. This is a herald Pegasus running over: "General Yang Zheng, Shao Dutong has an order, and you will go to the Zhongjun camp to meet him." ”
******************************
In the battle of Ma Wengdian, he killed Pu Chatu Mu, the main general of the Jin army, seven people from a thousand households and twenty-six people from a hundred households. More than 4,000 people were beheaded and 470 were taken prisoner. Two hundred and seventeen horses were captured. The Song army lost 1,347 killed and 525 wounded. The casualties of the Jin soldiers were more than three times that of the Song army, and this battle was indeed a great victory.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Shao Hongyuan sat on the handsome chair, looking at the results of the battle after cleaning up the battlefield sent by Li Shi, and he was in a happy mood. At this time, someone outside the camp gate came in and reported: "Yu Du Tong, General Yang Zheng of the Beiwei Army has brought it." ”
Shao Hongyuan said: "Call him in." ”
Yang Yan walked into the big tent and saluted Shao Hongyuan: "Yang Yan, the general of the Wei Army, see Lord Dutong." ”
Shao Hongyuan was about forty years old, and he was not wearing a helmet at this time, with thick eyebrows and thin eyebrows, a square face, and a wisp of beard under his chin. Seeing Yang Yan, he waved his hand and said, "Yang Zhengjiang, don't thank you." ”
Yang Yan lowered his hand and said, "I don't know what the Lord of Dutong has to call for the general, what do you command?" ”
Shao Hongyuan smiled and said, "Yang Zhengjiang, how old are you this year?" ”
Yang Yan said: "I will be nineteen years old this year. But I didn't understand that Shao Hongyuan summoned him and asked what he was doing with age?
Shao Hongyuan said: "Nineteen years old? Haha, it's really terrifying! General Yang Zheng, if you hadn't killed the chief general of the Jin Army, Pucha Tumu, in today's battle, our army would have been in danger. So in today's battle, Yang Zheng will put your credit first. ”
Yang Yan said: "There, where." This is all the result of the proper command of the Lord of the Metropolitan and the efforts of the brothers of the whole army. I don't dare to take credit. ”
Shao Hongyuan nodded and said, "Young man, it's really rare not to be proud of your achievements. After winning the battle, everyone naturally has merit, but Bendu saw you kill Pucha Tumu with his own eyes before the battle, and this is not possible. Rewarding and punishing merit is also the duty of Pontus. Yang Zhengjiang doesn't have to excuse himself. ”
Yang Yan had no choice but to say: "Lord Dutong has a clear understanding, and the general will admire it." ”
Shao Hongyuan smiled again: "General Yang Zheng, is General Yang of Tong'an County your grandfather?" ”
Yang Yan was stunned, he was usually low-key, and he was Yang Yizhong's grandson, except for Cao Xun who knew about it, he had never told the second person. However, Shao Hongyuan must have found it out from the soldier's file. I had to admit it: "It's the ancestor." ”
Shao Gongyuan laughed and said: "Okay, good, the king of Tong'an County was the three armies of Yongguan back then. The feat of leading the 500 soldiers to attack Liuzi Town at night was greatly admired. Now Yang Zhengjiang is also brave, and he is really a tiger! ”
Yang Yan said: "Lord Dutong has won the award, and the last general is not talented, but I am afraid that it will humiliate the family." ”
Shao Hongyuan said with a smile: "General Yang Zheng, you don't have to be polite, Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Wei Army, was killed today, and the commander Wang Zheng was seriously injured and can no longer participate in the war." I think it's good that you will act as the commander of the back army. ”
Yang Yanwan didn't expect that Shao Hongyuan would recognize himself as the commander of the back army. Usually, when an army is killed, the commander is in charge of the whole army. If even the commander cannot take over, a general at the commander level will generally be transferred from another army to act as his deputy. Of course, since the various armies are somewhat dissatisfied with each other, it is not impossible to select one person from among the lower-ranking generals in the army to act as the commander, but there are generally several people at the same level as the low-level generals, and it is not easy to select people who serve the people. Shao Hongyuan's Beiwei army has 3,000 people, under the command, there are four regular generals, four deputy generals, and six reserve generals under the command. Cao Xun is also one of the generals.
It turned out that after the victory, Shao Hongyuan knew that the Song general who killed Puchatu Mu was called Yang Yan, and he was the general of the Wei army. asked someone to check his file, and found that this Yang Yan was actually Yang Yizhong's grandson. Shao Hongyuan couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that Yang Yizhong's grandson had served under his subordinates for two years, and he didn't know anything about it. How could he normally go to the files of ordinary soldiers. Later, I felt a little lucky. If Yang Yan had an accident in today's battle, it would be fine. Although it was not Shao Hongyuan's responsibility, it was offended Yang Yizhong after all.
However, Yang Yan was still fine, and he killed the general of the Jin Army and made a great contribution. It happened that the commander of the Beiwei army was killed, and the commander was injured and could not go to the battlefield again. It is logical to promote Yang Yan to the acting commander of the Beiwei Army, although other generals feel a little surprised, but Yang Yan has made the first contribution after all, and he can't find a reason to oppose it, so no one said anything.
As soon as this arrangement was announced, Cao Xun, who had the best relationship with Yang Yan, first came to congratulate him: "Big brother, you are really good, you have been promoted to control all of a sudden." ”
Yang Yan didn't care: "Now it's just because Liu Tongzhi was killed and Commander Wang was injured again, and I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so I was asked to act as the commander." After the battle is over, it will naturally come to an end. Either the king will return and rule again, or someone else will come. At that time, I was not continuing to be my main general. ”
Cao Xun said: "Big brother, why are you always like this, you don't care about anything. Super code this time you have made a great contribution, right, if you capture Hongxian, on meritorious deeds, you will definitely be promoted, and at that time you may not be an agent. Even if you can't be promoted to the position of commander, I think it's about the same! ”
Yang Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Cao, do you think Hongxian is so easy to capture?" ”
Cao Xun said: "If we and Deputy Zhang are together, there are a total of 27,800 people, and the current garrison of Hongxian County is less than 5,000, what is so difficult?" ”
Yang Yan sighed: "Why have you forgotten all the things you learned in the Shangwu Academy?" Art of War: Siege is the bottom. It's not easy to capture Hongxian. ”
Cao Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Big brother, what you said is very reasonable. However, how to attack Hongxian is something that Shao Dutong is worried about. We are all cavalry, and the siege will not send us. So it's none of our business. ”
Yang Yan shook his head and smiled: "If you think so, you won't be a general in this life." In fact, this time our chances were very good, the Jin soldiers took the initiative to attack, and only 1,500 people were left in the city to defend the city. If I were Shao Dutong, I would definitely drag Pucha Tumu here and not start a war with him. And let the team of Deputy Dutong Zhang go to attack Hongxian, so that Hongxian can be easily captured. Although the battle has been won now, it may not be so easy to capture Hongxian. ”
Cao Xun blinked and said, "Big brother, your method is good, why don't you report to Shao Dutong?" ”
Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Report to Shao Dutong? I was just a small general at that time, can I tell Shao Dutong? Even if he did, would he listen to me? ”
Cao Xun thought about it, and what Yang Yan said was not unreasonable.
******************************
Sure enough, as Yang Yan expected, Da Zhouren, the guard general of Hongxian County, was indeed bent on defending and no longer fighting. The grain and grass in Hongxian County are very sufficient, and the tools and equipment for defending the city are also quite well prepared.
Shao Hongyuan and Zhang Zigai joined forces to attack Hongxian. After attacking the city for three days in a row, he could not attack the city, and he lost more than 1,000 people.
At this time, the news of the Lingbi battlefield came: Li Xianzhong used the strategy of Yu Gongliang, a staff officer of the Chinese army, to lure Xiao Qi, the defender of Lingbi, into battle, and Yu Gongliang took advantage of the void to attack Lingbi. Xiao Qi was ambushed by Li Xianzhong and was defeated and captured. Seeing that Lingbi was also lost, he surrendered to Li Xianzhong. It was a soldier who beheaded 10,000 households, 11 people from 1,000 households, beheaded more than 4,000 people, and captured more than 1,000 people.
Another spy came to report that the deputy marshal of the Jin Guozuo, Fu Shi Lie Zhining, who was guarding Bianliang, personally led an army of 50,000 to the rescue, and Bai Yanjing in the front led an army of 5,000 and will arrive in Hongxian in a few days.
Zhang Jun, the privy envoy sitting in Jiankang Mansion, ordered Li Xianzhong to lead the army to attack Suzhou first without waiting for Shao Hongyuan; and ordered Shao Hongyuan to capture Hongxian before the reinforcements of Jin Bing's brigade arrived.
Shao Hongyuan received Zhang Jun's order, and he also felt that his face was gloomy. did not dare to slack off, and ordered the whole army to attack Hongxian the next day.
After the defeat of the Jin army. Da Zhouren took over as the general of the leading army and took on the heavy responsibility of defending the city. At this time, there were less than 5,000 soldiers defending the city in Hongxian County, and more than 700 of them were Tiefutu. Although Da Zhouren is not as brave as Pucha Tumu, he is thoughtful, alert and cautious, and is suitable for defending the city. Immediately ordered, in addition to Tiefutu ready to stand by and wait for the plane. The other Jin soldiers were all left in turn to defend the city tower, and even the county officials and sent people were incorporated into the army. He also forced the people in the city to carry the equipment to defend the city, and also forcibly demolished dozens of houses, using bricks, stones and tiles as tools to defend the city. The Song army attacked for three days in a row, but they were all blocked. The Jin soldiers also suffered more than 300 casualties.
The next morning, the Song army poured out of the nest and came to the city of Hongxian. Shao Hongyuan, the deputy commander Zhang Zigai, the white army commander Lize, the acting commander of the Beiwei army Yang Yan, the former army commander Zhang Xuntong, the Chinese army commander Zhou Hong, the rear army commander Wang Quan, the left army commander Zuo Shiyuan, the right army commander Li Yanfu, Shao Hongyuan's son, Jiankang Mansion Imperial Army writing machine Yiwen Shao Shiyong and other generals were also dispatched.
The walls of Hongxian County are not very tall, but they are very strong, and after three days of attack by the Song army, there is not much damage. The north and south gates were also completely blocked, leaving only the east and west gates to enter and exit. The main attack of the Song army was the East Gate. On the city tower, there is a big flag more than two zhang long, and a big golden character is written on it. There is also a moat outside the city wall, but after three days of attack by the Song army, the river water of the moat has been drained by the Song army, and the dry riverbed has also been filled in dozens of places by the Song army, and the cloud ladder can be directly erected to attack the city. This is also the harvest of the Song army's siege of the city in the past few days.
Coming to a place about 300 steps away from the Hongxian city wall, Song Jun built a temporary wooden platform, which was Shao Hongyuan's command platform. There are no large bows and crossbows such as bed crossbows in Hongxian County, and bows and arrows cannot reach a distance of more than 300 paces. So it's very safe here.
Shao Hongyuan ordered from the stage that Zuo Shiyuan would fight the first formation under the command of the Left Army, and Zhou Hong, the commander of the Chinese Army, would lead a thousand archers to cover.
Zuo Shiyuan led the order, led the left army of 3,000 people, pushed ten tower carts, and set up countless ladders to rush to the city wall of Hongxian County. Zhou Hong led a thousand archers to follow. A brutal offensive and defensive battle begins.
The tower cart has always been a sharp weapon for the Song army to attack the city, which is higher than the city wall of Hongxian County, and is equipped with wheels underneath, which is carried forward by the soldiers. Each tower cart could hold 50 native soldiers, and was blocked by thick planks on the front and sides. Can block bows and arrows.
"Launch the rocket."
Just when the Song army was a hundred steps away from the city wall of Hongxian County, with the sound of Da Zhou Ren, more than 1,000 rockets drew red traces in the air and fell into the Song army's formation. Then came the second round, the third round.
But the arrows of the Jin soldiers did not stop the advance of the Song army. Although the tower cart was made of wood, it was coated with fireproof medicine and was not afraid of rockets. And the Song soldiers who pushed the cart were also prepared, raised their shields, and continued to move forward in the rain of arrows.
However, all this was expected by Da Zhouren. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the distance between the Song army and the city wall was reduced to 100 paces.
"Trebuchet launch."
Huge stones fell into the array of the Song army with a terrifying whistling sound. The dense array followed this countless dodges. The shield was also useless against the falling rocks falling from the sky, and the soldiers who were hit immediately flew with flesh and blood, and died without a snort.
"Aim at the tower car, aim at the tower car, hit the tower car, look at it." Da Zhouren yelled at the soldiers who fired the stones. In fact, the stones fired by the pitcher are basically inaccurate, and the shouting is in vain.
At this time, the archers of the Song army also entered the firing range and began to shoot back at the golden soldiers on the city wall. Due to the need to hide from the bows and arrows of the Song army, the rain of arrows of the Jin army was not so dense, and the pressure of the Song army besieging the city was greatly reduced, and the speed of advance was greatly accelerated.
"Forward, forward."
With a "boom", a boulder finally hit a tower car. Sawdust flew wildly, the tower car shook a few times, and then another big stone hit, the tall tower car finally couldn't withstand the impact of the stone, and fell to the ground with a bang, killing and injuring countless Song soldiers.
Watching the tower car fall, Shao Hongyuan frowned. He lost a tower cart before he could reach the city wall, and now he was very unhappy. The tower car is indeed a sharp weapon for siege, but the price is also very expensive, and the cost of a tower car is as high as six or seven hundred. This time, Shao Hongyuan's army only had a total of 20 tower cars. In the first three days of siege, he had lost two vehicles, and today he had lost another one, which Shao Hongyuan had not expected.
But among the arrows and stones flying in the sky on both sides, the Song army held shields, pushed tower carts, and set up ladders to advance bravely, and finally approached the city wall after leaving countless corpses.
The remaining nine tower cars were close to the city wall, put down the flap, and the Song soldiers on the tower car rushed up and killed the city wall. The golden soldiers, who had been prepared on the city walls, immediately met the battle. The two sides fought hand-to-hand battles on the city tower. Other Song soldiers under the city also began to set up ladders to climb the city, and some Song soldiers pedaled tower carts and climbed the city wall. Arrows rained down like locusts, stones fell with a roar, knives clashed, blood gushed out like fountains, and dead bodies continued to increase in various forms. Under the command of Zhang Xuntong, the commander of the left army of the Song army, he stormed the city with an astonishing wantonness.
At this time, Da Zhouren finally showed excellent command ability. On the one hand, he commanded the Jin soldiers to resist the Song army that was stepping on the city wall, and on the other hand, he organized the Jin soldiers to shoot arrows and fire stones under the city, which was orderly and not chaotic at all.
The Jin soldiers died on the city wall, the Song soldiers died under the city wall, and some people fell from the city tower like fallen leaves. The soldiers on both sides were very brave, and when the soldiers in front fell, the warriors behind them immediately picked up. Wounded soldiers were constantly being carried off the battlefield, and new soldiers were being replaced.
Shao Hongyuan's face just relaxed for a while, and then became heavier and heavier. After more than an hour of attack, although the Song army continued to attack the city wall, it was constantly blocked by the Jin soldiers. In particular, Da Zhouren organized several pulls by eight golden soldiers to carry a wooden pole rented like a bowl with a length of four zhang, and the top of the tower cart has knocked down two tower carts. The other generals who were watching the battle beside Shao Hongyuan also turned pale. Such a tragic siege is rare.
Yang Yan suddenly felt that the tragic situation of the battle in Mahon Shop a few days ago was nothing compared to today. Or maybe it's because Ma Wendian was involved in the First World War, and he didn't care about other conditions on the battlefield, just to see the tragic situation after the war. But today is from a pure spectator, a glimpse of the fierce scene of the entire battlefield, so after the end of today's war, whether it is won or lost, is the scene after the war much more miserable?
Countless soldiers, bruised and with severed limbs and arms, screamed and carried over from the makeshift wooden platform. The medics on the battlefield became the busiest of those watching from behind. Stretchers, splints, medicines, salt water, gauze and other materials were not only sent like running water.
At this time, Li Shi, a staff officer of the Chinese army, came to Shao Hongyuan's side and whispered: "Lord Dutong, the brothers of the left army have been attacking for almost two hours in the morning, and our army has suffered great casualties!" Is it a pause, a break, a break. ”
Zhang Zigai, the deputy commander on the side, also heard Li Shi's words, and without waiting for Shao Hongyuan to speak, he immediately said: "No, at this time, our army can only move forward, and must not take half a step back." The casualties of our army were heavy, and the Jin soldiers were no better there. When you are tired of fighting, you will change to another army to go up and continue the attack, and you must grit your teeth to resist, I think you will definitely be able to capture it today. ”
Zhang Zigai was fifty-six or seventeen years old, the nephew of Zhang Jun, a famous general in Nandu, and was Zhang Jun's subordinate in his early years. In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing (1162), he won a great victory in Haizhou, and he was a general of the same period as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. In fact, his official position was originally the command of the Zhenjiang Imperial Garrison, and his position was tied with Shao Hongyuan, but this battle was in Shao Hongyuan's defense area, so he was Shao Hongyuan's deputy. However, his qualifications and prestige are above Shao Hongyuan. Therefore, Shao Hongyuan also had to concede a few points to him.
Zhang Zigai said this, Shao Hongyuan also thought about Zhang Jun's order, and said, "What Lord Zhang said is good. Now we are in full swing to capture Hongxian. There must be no retreat. The royal power obeys. ”
After the army, the royal power immediately came out of the ranks to meet Shao Hongyuan: "The last general." ”
"You lead the rear army, go and continue to attack the city in place of the left army, and you must capture Hongxian."
Wang Quan agreed, and was about to step down and set off. At this time, Yang Yan suddenly came out of the queue and stood in front of Shao Hongyuan: "Lord Dutong, the last general is willing to attack Hongxian with the Wang Command." ”
Shao Hongyuan was stunned and said: "Yang's courage is commendable, but you are a cavalryman, and the siege of the city is a matter of infantry, so you won't work for Yang to control it." ”
Yang Yan said: "Although the last general is a cavalryman, he can also fight on foot. Originally dispatched by the king, the soldiers under his own command pedaled the tower to fight on the tower of the tower. ”
Shao Hongyuan frowned, and secretly blamed Yang Yan in his heart for not knowing what to do. This siege soldier is often a life of death, if Yang Yan has any accidents, then how to explain to Yang Yizhong. But you can't just let Yang Yan fight because Yang Yan is Yang Yizhong's grandson.
Yang Yan saw that Shao Hongyuan was silent, and immediately added: "Please allow Lord Dutong." ”
At this time, Shao Hongyuan also had to agree, and secretly thought: I have repeatedly blocked Yang Yan with the scriptures, and all the generals present, including Zhang Zigai, have seen it with their own eyes. This is Yang Yan's own must fight, if there is an accident, I can't blame it. Then he said: "Then Yang is in charge, you have to be more careful." At that moment, five more tower carts were transferred to continue the siege.
Yang Yan held the "Blue Blood Zhao Danqing" in one hand and a shield in the other. Stand on the highest point of the tower cart and follow the tower cart towards the city wall.
Shao Hongyuan ordered: "Beat the drum." The "two hundred cowhide drums" knock, knock "knock" sound, shaking the earth. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the offensive was strengthened again.
As soon as the flap fell, Yang Yan was the first to rush out of the tower car. The people were still on the flip board, and eight more golden soldiers carried a four-zhang long wooden pole to support Yang Yan's tower cart, and wanted to push the tower cart down. Yang Yan raised a sword in his hand, and even cut off the wooden pole as thick as the mouth of the bowl, and the shield in his left hand struck out, cutting a golden soldier in front of him, and jumped onto the city wall. The "Blue Blood Shines on Danqing" in his hand drew two green rays from the left and right, and the blood splashed, and two more golden soldiers died under Yang Yan's sword. The gap was opened by Yang Yan at once, and the Song soldiers on the tower cart jumped onto the city wall one after another. and Jin Bing launched a fierce meat game.
Yang Yan wielded the "Blue Blood Shine Danqing" to clash left and right on the city wall, not only the sword in his right hand, but also the shield in his left hand not only can block the enemy's blade, but can also be used to hit the enemy. Everywhere he went, there was blood splattered and his head was different. Bones shattered, flesh flew everywhere. The strong Jin soldiers kept falling down in front of Yang Yan like grass being cut down. Despite the fierce golden soldiers, constantly waving weapons, rushed up. However, the result only made the human blood storm wind rolled up by Yang Yan even more desolate.
With Yang Yan taking the lead, the soldiers who followed Yang Yan were greatly boosted, and more and more Song troops stepped onto the city wall. The corpses of the golden soldiers in the city are increasing rapidly.
Da Zhouren was shocked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Kill that Song general, kill that Song general no matter what." ”
At this time, a Jin soldier finally recognized Yang Yan: "My lord, he is the Song general who killed Master Puchatu Mu that day." ”
"What...... What the? Is there such a brave general in the Song army?" Da Zhou Ren, who had always been determined to command the Jin soldiers to defend the city, finally panicked.
Seeing that there were more and more Song troops stepping on the city tower, they gradually stabilized their position on the city wall. Shao Hongyuan's face finally softened. said to Zhang Zigai: "It seems that the situation is not bad, and if it goes on like this, it is possible to capture Hongxian today." ”
Zhang Zigai nodded and said, "Yes, Shao Dutong, you are really a good person." I was shocked to hear that you had promoted a young man who was not yet twenty years old to the rank of deputy commander of the Betrayal Army. Now I know that this Yang system is really brave. It's enough, but it's a big responsibility. ”
Yang Yan is Yang Yizhong's grandson, except for Shao Hongyuan's son Shao Shiyong and his confidant Li Shi, Shao Hongyuan did not tell anyone else. Zhang Zigai naturally didn't know. I thought it was Shao Hongyuan who made an exception and used a promising young general.
Shao Hongyuan couldn't help but be proud, looked at the generals and said, "You can now know that I don't look bad." The generals also praised Shao Hongyuan's insight.
At this time, Zhang Zigai said: "Shao Dutong, I see that I am sending troops to help them and capture Hongxian in one go." ”
Shao Hongyuan nodded and said, "Lize listens to orders." ”
The commander of the White Army, Li Ze, immediately came out of the ranks and said, "The last general is in." ”
Shao Hongyuan said: "Li Commander, you take the White Army, go and help them, and you must capture Hongxian County today." ”
Liyun said loudly: "The last general will be honored." ”
"My lord, what should I do, Song Jun has added people again." Seeing that the offensive of the Song army became more and more fierce, the Song army in the city exceeded 200 people. A partial general said eagerly to Da Zhouren: "I'm afraid Hongxian won't be able to keep it if it goes on like this."
Da Zhou Ren also nodded, watching the Song army outside the city increase the number of people besieging the city, and ordered: "Let the soldiers who take turns to rest not rest, and all go to the city to help defend." ”
The partial general said: "There are still 700 iron floating maps in the city, do you want them to go up to the city to help defend the city?" ”
Da Zhouren's eyes lit up: "Yes, I still have an iron float." Hurriedly shouted, "Uday? Tell Uday to come to me. ”
Lize led 3,000 white troops to join the besiegers, and when they saw someone to support, the morale of the Song army was even stronger, and if it went on like this, if nothing else, it would definitely be able to capture Hongxian.
However, at this moment, the unexpected happened. The gate of Hongxian City suddenly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and a team of cavalry in black armor and black armor came out of the city. The Song army that was besieging the city never thought that the Jin soldiers would dare to go out of the city to take the initiative to attack at this time, so they were unprepared, and they were in chaos all of a sudden. Uday was the leader of this Tiefutu, and after leading the Tiefutu to disrupt the besieging Song army, he immediately went straight to the tower car of the Song army attacking the city. This is exactly what Da Zhouren confessed: "You take Tiefutu to battle, don't get entangled with the Song army more, the main thing is to destroy the tower car of the Song army." ”
At this time, even Shao Hongyuan and Zhang Zigai, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but be surprised. Shao Hongyuan hurriedly ordered his son Shao Shiyong to lead the Beiwei army, and Li Yanfu, the commander of the right army, led the right army to meet Tiefutu. But in such a short period of time, Tiefu Tu had knocked down five or six tower carts in a row. The Song army under the city was immediately busy fighting Tiefutu, and the number of attackers was immediately greatly reduced. The pressure on the Jin soldiers was greatly reduced, and Da Zhou Ren immediately commanded the Jin soldiers to drive down all the Song troops who were stepping on the city tower.
At this time, the reinforcements of the Song army had arrived, and the city was immediately slaughtered. There were only more than 700 people left in Tiefutu, and the number of Song troops under the city was about ten times that of Tiefutu, but they still couldn't resist the impact of Tiefutu.
Although the commander Uday was not as brave as Puchatumu, it was because of this that he was able to devote all his energy to directing the direction of the whole army. The entire Tiefutu was like a black dragon, wandering and shuttling among the Song army, which was ten times more than itself. Running back and forth. The terrible sound of people and horses continued to sound around the black dragon, and the severed head and arms flew in the air. The warriors of the Song army seemed to be blown away from the black dragon's side one by one with the blood smoke. Under the command of Uday, despite the encirclement of so many Song troops, Tiefutu pushed two more hitchhikers.
Shao Shiyong saw that he couldn't stop Tiefutu, so he had to make a decision immediately, and ordered the Song army to push the rest of the tower cart back, and Bijing had to be reserved for the siege of the city in the future.
……
One, two...... The tower cart finally left the city wall and retreated to the Song army's position.
It was only at this time that Da Zhou Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the Jin soldiers in the city: "Kill all the Song troops in the city." ”
Because there was no support for the Song army in the city, the number was constantly decreasing, and only a few dozen Song soldiers were left to gather together, under the leadership of Yang Yan, resisting the attack of the Jin soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, going down the city along a tower car that had not yet left.
Shao Shiyong struggled to wave the gun in his hand and engaged a Tiefutu golden soldier, the two spears exchanged six or seven times in the air, and finally Shao Shiyong saw that one was empty, and a shot pierced the iron armor of Tiefutu.
"An ordinary Tiefutu soldier actually has such a strong combat power. The victory at the Mahon shop a few days ago now seems to be unbelievable. Shao Shiyong was thinking about it when another Tiefutu spear stabbed at him.
"Not good." Shao Shiyong's spear was deeply inserted into the body of Tie Futu, who was stabbed to death by him, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. In desperation, he had to abandon the spear and avoid the enemy's attack. But the danger has not passed, Shao Shiyong, who lost his weapon, has no power to fight back, and is forced to be clumsy and dangerous. Suddenly, a Song general rushed over and picked off the Jin soldiers who were pursuing Shao Shiyong with a single shot.
This Song general is Cao Xun, he picked up a spear and handed it to Shao Shiyong: "General Shao, can't all the tower carts be scattered!" And our brethren on it. ”
Shao Shiyong looked up at the city, saw that Yang Yan was still on it, and commanded the Song army to resist while coming down the tower cart. Then he said: "That one stays, the others are scattered, and you take someone to protect the tower car." ”
Cao Xun nodded, and led his subordinate cavalry to surround the tower car. He said, "When all the brothers in the city have come down, we will scatter it." Then the head of the stage shouted, "Big brother, come down quickly." ”
Yang Yan turned his head to look at the city, Tiefutu was collecting troops and returning to the city. And there are only about two dozen Song soldiers left in him.
"Go down to the city quickly, and I'll stop the golden soldiers." Yang Yan gave an order, and on the other hand, he kept waving the "Blue Blood Shines on Danqing" golden soldiers fell one after another, and the Song soldiers went down the city one after another along the tower car.
Da Zhouren said when he saw the "hum" thing: "If you want to go on, I won't let you get your wish." ”
At this time, the Jin soldiers immediately carried four or five thick wooden poles four zhang long to push the tower cart. Yang Yan was shocked, knowing that there was only this tower car left, and the Song soldiers in the city had no way to survive as soon as this tower car fell. At that moment, he swung his sword vigorously and cut off a long wooden pole. But the number of Jin soldiers was too much, and finally they couldn't stop it, three long logs resisted the tower car, and the Jin soldiers used super force, and there was a "boom" sound, and the only tower car was finally pushed down.
At this time, there were only five Song soldiers left on Yang Yan's side, and they could not form a circular defensive formation to resist the Jin soldiers. Soon two Song soldiers died under the indiscriminate knives of the Jin soldiers. A Song soldier was shot dead with a bow and arrow. There was also a Song soldier, seeing that there was no way out, he suddenly threw the knife in his hand, hugged a Jin soldier, and the two fell off the city wall at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, only Yang Yan was left on the city wall.
Yang Yan's heart was cold, could he die here today? He gritted his teeth, his right sword and left shield were flying, completely ignoring himself, just killing the golden soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen Jin soldiers in a row, and he also suffered more than a dozen injuries on his body, but fortunately, his body was too fast, and it was not fatal. Jin Bing was intimidated by his momentum, and he didn't dare to approach for a while.
Yang Yan already felt that the true qi in his body was faintly a little weak, and he knew that when the true qi was exhausted, it was the moment when he died. Suddenly, one figure after another, his mother, tassels, grandfather, Yang Yizhong, etc. flashed in his mind.
At this time, the Song soldiers under the city all looked at Yang Yan in the city, even if they were powerless, they were unwilling to let go. Cao Xun suddenly jumped off his horse and picked up two large shields. Rushed to the city wall, raised his head and shouted, "Big brother, you jump down, I will pick you up below." ”
When Yang Yan heard this, his heart moved. The city wall of Hongxian County is not too high, less than four feet, with their own light skills, jumping off the city wall may not fall to death, in any case, you can give it a try.
At this time, Jin Bing also came back to his senses, raised his sword and gun, and killed Yang Yan again. Yang Yan, who had a glimmer of vitality again, perked up his spirits, and waved the "Blue Blood Shines on Danqing" to cut off two spears in a row. Suddenly, my mind changed: if you grab two spears and use them to pad them first when you land, wouldn't you be a little more sure.
At this time, two Jin soldiers waved their spears and stabbed at Yang Yan from two directions. Yang Yan said secretly: Good to come. The shield in his left hand immediately flew out of his hand and smashed into a golden soldier. The golden soldier couldn't dodge, and was right in the middle of the door. Suddenly, the bones were powdered, and blood gushed out. And Yang Yan's left hand lifted and fell, just clamping the spear stabbed by another golden soldier, and the "Blue Blood Zhao Danqing" in his right hand slashed his throat with a wave. Another golden soldier slashed at him from the other direction with a thick-backed broadsword. On the side of Yang Yan's figure, he dodged this knife, and the "Blue Blood Zhao Danqing" in his hand, which was already stained with the blood of the Jin soldiers, waved again, and the cuirass of the Jin soldiers was slashed, and blood spurted out of his chest.
Yang Yan turned over, jumped on the city stomp, and was about to jump. With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly found a flagpole less than three feet away from him. Flying above is the banner of the Golden Kingdom. Yang Yan's heart moved, and he suddenly had a new idea.
Yang Yan jumped back to the city tower again, desperately using the last true qi in his body, and fought hard with his left gun and right sword to kill in the direction of the flagpole. Every swing of a gun or sword is bound to bring a strong response. The knife and spear were cut off, the armor stomach was pierced, and blood splattered on the stone slabs, leaving a series of wounded and dead who fell in the blood stain, and Yang Yan finally killed the flagpole. The two-zhang long flag is still fluttering in the wind. Yang Yan cut the rope with a sword, and the banner of the golden soldier fell.
At this time, Yang Yan felt shortness of breath and his heart beat faster. I know that this is a condition in which the true qi is exhausted. Summoning the last bit of true energy, he threw the spear he had snatched. The spear whistled and pierced the bodies of the two golden soldiers. The remaining momentum did not disappear and knocked down several golden soldiers behind him. The Jin soldiers besieging Yang Yan were all shocked, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Yan caught the falling flag, bit the "Blue Blood Shines on Danqing", grabbed the corner of the flag with both hands, and jumped down from the city wall.
The Jin soldiers in the city and the Song soldiers in the city were stunned. watched Yang Yan fall to the city like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
Da Zhouren shouted violently: "Shoot the arrow, release the arrow, shoot him, shoot him." ”
At this time, the Jin soldiers came back to their senses and opened their bows and arrows. But at this time, Yang Yan had fallen to the city, and Cao Xun had already run over and protected Yang Yan and himself with two big shields.
"Big brother, are you okay? Scared the hell out of me. “
Yang Yan's heart warmed, Cao Xun was really a good brother who had been friends for many years, and said, "It's okay, I can't die." ”
Only then did Shao Hongyuan let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his head. And the whole army of the Song army cheered in unison to welcome Yang Yan back.
Cao Xun supported Yang Yan with the banner of Jin Bing, see Shao Hongyuan: "The last general is incompetent and did not capture Hongxian." ”
Shao Hongyuan hurriedly supported Yang Yan: "Yang Commander, you can take the banner of the enemy army, it is already a great achievement, Hongxian County is just around the corner, don't take it to heart." At that moment, he ordered someone to burn the banner in front of the golden soldiers.
It is undoubtedly a great shame for the main flag to be taken away. However, in the end, the Song army did not let the Song army capture Hongxian. Da Zhouren's heart also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this battle, the Song army lost more than 3,000 people and nearly 1,000 wounded. Nine tower cars were destroyed. And the casualties of the Jin soldiers also exceeded 1,000. Tiefutu also lost nearly three hundred people. It can be said that it is extremely dangerous, if the Jin soldiers do not have an iron float, or dare not risk opening the city to fight, Hongxian will definitely be lost. The power of Tiefutu really lives up to its name.
