Fifth, the situation has changed abruptly

On the night of May 12, in the northwest of Qixian County, the Song Army Pioneer Camp.

There are 30,000 Song troops stationed here, the main commander is the envoy of the Qingyuan Army, and the commander of the guard Ma Junsi is Cheng Min, that is, Yang Yan's top boss. However, due to various coincidences, Yang Yan has never met his boss.

Cheng Min was originally Han Shizhong's general, he was famous for his courage and good fighting, once Cheng Min followed Han Shizhong to see Zhao Gou, Shizhong pointed to Min and said to Zhao Gou: "When the minister was in Nanjing, he claimed to be the first in the world, and if he saw this person at that time, he would also avoid it." "You must know that Han Shizhong was a strong gallop when he was young, and he was brave enough to win the three armies, and he was compared with the famous generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms.

However, at this time, Cheng Min was a seventy-three-year-old veteran, the eldest of the eleven sons, Cheng Daxin, was fifty-three years old, the youngest Cheng Dahua was also thirty years old, and the eleven sons were all military generals.

At night, Cheng Daxin said: "Father, let's rest early, we will attack Bianliang tomorrow." ”

Cheng Min nodded and said with a smile: "After recovering Tokyo, this Northern Expedition should also end." This is also the last time my father will contribute to the country. After this battle, it is time for my father to retire and live a quiet life for a few years, and the rest will be handed over to you. ”

Cheng Daxin said: "Father, you have been fighting horses for half your life, and it is time to rest, after this Northern Expedition, I will not be an official again, so I will serve your old man at home and fulfill my filial piety." In the future, let the great benevolence and righteousness take care of it. ”

Cheng Min smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted, "The Jin soldiers are coming." Then the shouts of killing began.

Cheng Min immediately jumped up, and his agility was not inferior to that of the young man. He has not yet slept peacefully, so he is only wearing a helmet, and the armor on his body has not been taken off. At this time, he didn't care about wearing a helmet, grabbed his saber, and said to Cheng Daxin: "Daxin, go out with me to have a look." As he spoke, he walked out of the tent first.

Cheng Daxin didn't care, he was fully armed, wearing armor, taking off the helmet that he didn't have time to take, and chased him out and said: "Father, why should your son panic, the Jin people have been killed by us, even if they come to rob the camp, they ......" When he walked out of the big tent, he looked up and was startled, only to see that there were torches all around, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, shouting and killing one after another, there were many people in the dark, and I didn't know how many people there were in the Jin army.

At this time, Cheng Min's third son became Daren, the fourth son became Dayi, the seventh son became Dayong, and the youngest son Cheng Dahua saw his father and brother come out, and they all stumbled over and gathered around Cheng Min.

Cheng Min took the helmet handed over by his son and put it on, and ordered: "Daxin quickly notify all battalions and prepare for battle, Daren and Dayi, you two go to the front to command the soldiers to fight, find out the reality of the Jin soldiers, Dayong, you go to beat the drums, Dahua you quickly go to Li Zhaofu's Daying Jingjing to rescue and support." "The brothers of the Cheng family have followed Cheng Min for many years, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and as soon as they heard their father's orders, they immediately went separately to arrange.

When he was still more than ten steps away from Wei Sheng's camp, there were already guards to stop him: "Commander Yang, do you have anything to do at such a late hour?" ”

Yang Yan said: "I have an urgent military situation and want to meet Wei Dutong immediately, please report it." ”

The sentry frowned and said: "Just now, Lord Li, the envoy of the coastal system, arrived, and was discussing things with Wei Dutong, and said that as long as it is not the Jin army to attack, no one is allowed to disturb him, and Yang Tong, you should please talk about it tomorrow." ”

Yang Yan said: "No, I have a military intelligence of 100,000 urgent, and I can't delay for a moment, I must see Wei Dutong right away." ”

At this time, Wan Xiansheng was already annoyed, and shouted: "Splash Li San, Wan Xiansheng is here, don't you come out to see me?" Wan Xiansheng met Li Bao in Yue Fei's camp back then, and knew that Li Bao was addicted to alcohol when he was young, and was nicknamed Li San. This uniform speech was Wan Xiansheng's voice with internal strength, and it was suddenly spread far away at night.

The sentry was about to question, but as soon as the curtain was lifted, Li Baoji ran out of the camp, looked around, and said loudly: "Wan Daxia, where are you." Suddenly, he saw Wan Xiansheng at a glance, his body shook, rushed to Wan Xiansheng, looked up and down, and said in a trembling voice: "Wan Daxia, is it really you?" ”

Wan Xiansheng also looked Li Bao up and down, and his voice trembled a little: "Li Bao, it's been almost thirty years, and your hair has become a lot grayer." ”

Li Bao's voice snorted: "Wan Daxia, it's really you, it's really you." Saying that, the four big hands of the two of them were clasped together, and their eyes couldn't help but flash tears. Wei Sheng, who came out with Li Bao, looked at Yang Yan on the side, and couldn't figure out what was going on, which was quite inexplicable.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then Li Bao came to his senses and said, "Wan Daxia, you have been there all these years, why did you think of coming to Yanzhou to find me Li Bao today?" ”

Wan Xiansheng sighed and said, "It's hard to say, it's still important to get down to business, let my grandson tell you!" ”

Li Bao was stunned: "Your grandson? Only then did I see Yang Yan standing behind Wan Xiansheng. He was extremely surprised in his heart, although he had been commanding the naval army since the Northern Expedition, and the land operations were mainly commanded by Wei Sheng, but he also knew that this Yang Yan was Yang Yizhong's grandson, the future concubine of Princess Yongning. How did he become Wan Xiansheng's grandson again. Wei Sheng on the side was even more confused and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Yang Yan didn't care about explaining this, and immediately told Wan Xiansheng about discovering that Jin Guo was transferring troops in the direction of Bianliang and collecting grain and grass in Heiyang Mountain. Li Bao and Wei Sheng are both people who have been on the battlefield for a long time and are well versed in the art of war, and after listening to Yang Yan's words, they still didn't understand what was going on, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.

Li Bao said to Wei Sheng: "Hurry up and call the clerk, you and I will jointly write a letter to Li Zhaofu." He said to Wan Xian again: "Wan Daxia, please go to the big tent to discuss." ”

Before he could say anything, he saw a soldier running over in a panic and said loudly: "Li Zhizhi, Wei Dutong is not in a good situation, the emperor, the emperor is surrounded by the Jin army." ”

The Jin army actually dispatched 150,000 troops this time, divided into five routes, on the left there are Su Shi Lie Zhining and Wanyan Chenghui, and on the right are Yang Woyan and Wanyan Fushou. In the middle are Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen Monk. At this time, Yijing broke into the position of the Song army. The Song army was originally in a hurry to defend at night, and with the large number of Jin troops, the defense line was torn apart at once.

Wanyan Changzhi held a spear in his hand, and Wanyan Chen monk made a big axe in his hand, rushed to the front of the Jin army, stabbed the spear and slashed with the axe, only killing the corpses of the Song army all over the ground.

According to Yan Changzhi's initial arrangement, it should not be to launch a counterattack against the Song army in Qi County. In fact, the Jin army gathered 300,000 troops in the Bianliang area and set up a heavy encirclement, just waiting for the Song army to arrive in Chenliu, and then they could surround the Song army. Now that Shao Hongyuan was blocked by Bai Yanjing in Xiangcheng, Wei Sheng was too far away to come to the rescue, and the Jin army had enough time to completely annihilate Li Xianzhong's middle route army. If Li Xianzhong is defeated, the eastern and western armies will be easy to deal with, and the lost places can be recaptured one by one.

However, when he learned that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Tuan, had come to the Song army camp in Qi County, Emperor Wan Yan Yong immediately ordered to launch a counterattack against the Song army in advance.

In that year, Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu pacified the Liao State, captured the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Tingxi of the Liao State, and Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai broke through Bianliang and captured the Song Dynasty's Weizong Zhao Ji and Qinzong Zhao Huan's exploits have always been regarded as the most glorious moment of the Dajin Kingdom. If Zhao Tuan can be caught this time, then Wan Yan Yong will establish a great merit that is not inferior to Taizu Taizong.

Although this disrupted Wan Yan Changzhi's arrangement, before Bu captured the great temptation of the Song Dynasty emperor, Wan Yan Changzhi still revised his arrangement and ordered the Jin army that had been ambushed by all sides to launch an attack in advance.

After breaking through the first layer of defense of the Song army, after a short period of confusion, as the generals at all levels rushed to Cheng Daren, Cheng Dayi, Wang Jin, Liu Yuan and others also entered their respective command positions, the Song army immediately became settled, and the resistance became orderly and tight.

Although the Jin army was much larger in number than the Song army, the speed of the advance immediately slowed down due to the fact that the troops could not be fully deployed, and the numerical superiority of the wood could be fully utilized. Wanyan Changzhi quickly noticed the changes in Song Jun, and turned to Wanyan Chen Monk and said, "Monk Chen, let's start, let Song Jun know that we are powerful." ”

Monk Wanyan Chen nodded, waved the big axe in his hand, and said loudly: "Change formation." The Jin army behind him was separated from the left and right, and the sound of dense and heavy horses' hooves was heard behind him, and a black cavalry army came out of the darkness, which was even more imposing in this dark night.

"It's Tiefutu." Song Jun exclaimed.

Cheng Daren said sharply: "What are you panicking about? What is so terrible about Tiefutu, wasn't it still defeated by us in Xuzhou? ”

Monk Wanyan Chen waved the big axe in his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, let Song Jun see how powerful you are now!" "He was originally the number one leader of the Ten Iron Float Charts, and this time he brought five thousand Iron Float Charts. Tie Futu, who had been recuperating for a long time, finally sent out all his energy at this time, and the war horse galloped wildly, piercing the spear, and suddenly rushed the rearranged defense line of the Song army to pieces.

The Song army soon discovered that Tiefutu was like a demon killed in the dark, and everywhere he went, he brought only death to the Song army. Stabbed down by a spear, cut down by a saber, and trampled by a horse's hooves, protected by thick iron armor, Tiefutu's attack on the Song soldiers did not need to dodge at all, just waved the weapons in his hands and wantonly slashed and killed the Song army. There were no horses, bows and crossbow formations, and even the Song army, which was not completely lined up, was vulnerable to attack only by relying on its own flesh and blood body to stand upright in front of Tiefutu.

"When", the big knife in Liu Yuan's hand was smashed by Wanyan Chen Monk, and then Wanyan Chen Monk cut Liu Yuan's waist into two with an axe, and the blood splashed to Wanyan Chen Monk with a red battle armor, but Wanyan Chen Monk didn't care, and continued to swing the big axe, every time the axe went down, a Song soldier on the right would be killed. Although the Song army on the right bravely rushed forward, it could only add more deaths.

At this time, Cheng Min looked at the monk Wanyan Chen, who was like a man without humanity, and was shocked in his heart, and said to himself: "I am afraid that this Jin general can only be matched by Bi Zaiyu in the Song army, but at this time, Bi Zaiyu is protecting the emperor in Li Xianzhong's Chinese military camp, and he is not in the front camp. If you can't stop this golden general, you can't stop Tiefutu, and the Song army is in danger. Cheng Min turned his head and said: "Dayong and Dayi, you two will stop together, and you must block that golden general." ”

Cheng Dayong and Cheng Dayi are the fourth and ninth sons of Cheng Min, and they are also the two with the highest martial arts among the Cheng brothers. As soon as the two brothers heard their father's order, they each raised their spears in their hands and rushed towards Monk Wanyan Chen. At this time, Wanyan Changzhi came out from behind Wanyan Chen, and Wanyan Chen and Monk Wanyan Chen rushed over to meet Cheng Dayi and Cheng Dayi brothers.

Cheng Dayi rushed to Wan Yan Changzhi, shook the spear in his hand, and stabbed Wan Yan Changzhi. With a wave of his spear, he attacked it like mercury pouring into the ground.

I only listened to the sound of "clanging bells", and in the blink of an eye, the spears and spears had been exchanged more than a dozen times, and Cheng Dayi only felt that each spear of the other party was heavier than the previous spear, and he tried his best to support it.

"Is there still such a brave general in the Jin army?" Cheng Dayi only felt that he was full of spear shadows in front and back, left and right, and he couldn't parry with Ben, so he could only defend the spear and dance wildly. Suddenly, there was a huge pain in the left flank, and Wanyan Changzhi's spear had broken through the shadow of the spear and stabbed into the righteousness. Cheng Dayi spewed blood from his mouth, planted a drama under the horse, and died of despair.

At this time, Cheng Da hit Monk Wanyan Chen seven or eight times, and finally couldn't resist Monk Wanyan Chen's big axe, and he cut down the horse with an axe. Both brothers were killed.

Cheng Min was in front of the battle, seeing that the two sons died at the hands of the Jin general, his heart hurt greatly, and he was about to give another order, when suddenly the cold wind flashed, and an arrow hit Cheng Min's left chest. Cheng Min screamed miserably, turned over and fell to the ground, and several sons next to him, Cheng Daren, Cheng Dayong, Cheng Daqi, Cheng Dahua and others hurriedly rescued. Seeing that the main general was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, the Song army, which could not resist it, immediately became in chaos.

At this time, Cheng Min's eldest son, Cheng Dazhi, drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "The army is in a hurry, and there must be no mistake in listening to my orders." As he was talking, the cold wind suddenly hit his face, and Cheng Daxin knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly dodged, and he had already been hit by an arrow. As soon as the brothers of the family rescued their father, they came to rescue the eldest brother, and the Song army no longer had anyone to wield, and immediately collapsed and fled. The brothers of the family had no power to return to the sky, so they had to protect their father and eldest brother to escape.

Wanyan Changzhi smiled at a member of Jin Jiang next to him: "Guo Shrimp Toad, you really don't Huai Huai is my Dajin's first shot." ”

This golden general's name is Guo Shrimp Toad, a native of Huizhou, known for his good fighting, and he has hit all the two hundred steps. But because he is not a Jurchen, although he has an amazing ability, he has not been allowed to reuse it, and it is only after Yan Chang's command that he makes an exception. Hearing Yan Changzhi's praise, Guo Shrimp Toad had no smug look on his face, but just hugged his bow and said lightly: "My lord has talked about it." ”

Wanyan Changzhi knew that he was so stunned, so he was not surprised, and said: "The Song army is in a big situation, and the order is to pursue the Song army." ”
