Ninety-Three Victories in the First Battle (Part II)

It turned out that after Wan Yan Changzhi arrived at Zhending Mansion, he immediately decided to concentrate his forces before Wan Yan Yungong's army arrived, break through a large battalion of the enemy army, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and at the same time boost his own morale. Therefore, he led 15,000 men and horses with Pu Atong, Wen Gusun, and Gu Lijia to sneak attack the camp of Hushahu in Sushi at night, and at the same time ordered Shi Dingyue to lead 5,000 men and horses to ambush between Pingshan and Zhulu to prevent reinforcements from Shuqi Gaohu.

Because the Hushahu did not expect that Wan Yan Changzhi would really attack, so the defense was not tight, and when Wan Yan Changzhi's men and horses arrived at the wall of the Lu camp thirty steps away, they were discovered by the soldiers who were keeping vigil. Fortunately, he was not lazy when he set up camp, and the wall was built quite neatly, so that Yan Changzhi's men and horses did not enter the camp.

At this time, although there were fires in many places in the camp, the fire was not large, and some soldiers guarded it through the wall, so Sushi Liehu Shahu was a little relieved, and felt that he could defend until the reinforcements arrived. also returned to his handsome tent and sat down with peace of mind, poured himself a cup of tea, and just yelled loudly, his voice was a little hoarse, just moistening his throat.

However, before he could catch his breath, he only heard "boom, boom, boom" There were more than a dozen loud noises in a row, and even the earth seemed to tremble a few times, so that he couldn't even hold the tea bowl steadily, and fell to the ground and shattered. He hurriedly stood up and walked out of the tent to see what was going on.

As soon as he got out of the tent, there were several loud noises in a row, mixed with the loud noise, it was a flash of fire, after each loud noise, the firelight flashed, and the soldiers within a few feet of the firelight would fall down screaming, and in some places there would suddenly be a large flame burning, a hundred times stronger than the rocket of Gang.

In the end, he was a person who had seen some of the world, and he only felt that his mind was "buzzing", this was a thunderstorm and a fierce oil bomb! Isn't this kind of weapon unique to the Song army? How did you use it?

In fact, after the Southern Expedition, Wanyan Changzhi has been dividing and studying the combat effectiveness of the Song army. And the firearms that made Jin Jun suffer a lot are also one of the key research objects of Wan Yan Chang. At the same time, he also recruited more than 100 skilled craftsmen who were good at making fireworks and firecrackers to imitate various firearms of the Song army. In the past five or six years, many smoke balls, thunderbolts, thunderbolts, iron artillery, thistle fireballs, oil bombs, and so on have been made. Although there is still a certain distance between the performance and power made in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is not far behind. This rebellion naturally brought a lot, which is also the reason why Wanyan Changzhi dared to attack Hushahu with a small number of troops. It's just that Wan Yan Changzhi didn't expect that these firearms hadn't waited for Song Jun to pay first, but it was his own people who were hit for the first time.

However, although the Jin army has produced a lot of firearms with quite good performance and power, they have not yet made the tools to launch firearms, and all firearms can only be thrown by manpower, and can only venture close to the wall, so most of the firearms can only fall near the wall, and the throwers of firearms have also been killed by the defenders with bows and arrows. At the same time, the Jin army also lacked experience in the use of firearms, and many firearms burned out in the air before they could fall into the camp of the Hushahu in Sushilie, and they exploded themselves, and there were a few thunderbolts, because the pitcher was killed by a bow and arrow before he could throw it, and it exploded in his own ranks, killing many of his own people.

But Rao is so, and this is enough for Hu Shahu to bear. In less than half an hour, Wanyan Changzhi's men and horses threw out more than 300 firearms of various kinds, and almost all of them fell near the wall, although the defensive power on the wall was not completely destroyed, but it was also hit very hard, and there were many places on the wall that were on fire, burning the hazy wall to "crackling", and also reflecting the dark sky.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wan Yan Changyi immediately issued a new order. Immediately shot dozens of hooks in his formation, hooking the wall, and then all the soldiers worked together and pulled back desperately.

At this time, the walled wall was burned very loosely in many places by the fire, and there was still a strong pull, and after a while, there were several loud noises from reading, and the walled wall was suddenly opened more than ten gaps.

Seeing that the wall of the village had been destroyed, Wanyan Changyi was overjoyed, and immediately urged his horse to sit on his horse, wave his spear, and take the lead in entering the camp of the deer from a gap. With a swing of his spear, he stabbed seven or eight defenders in succession who were rushing towards the gap. The other soldiers also rushed into the village from other gaps, wielding their weapons and slashing the defenders.

He was frightened and anxious, because the offensive and defensive battle had passed a little and a half, and according to the distance between the two battalions, reinforcements should be able to arrive at this time. But not only did the reinforcements not see a single shadow, but even the people who returned the favor were not seen, which was really strange.

In fact, not only Hu Shahu, but even Wanyan Changzhi didn't expect that Shuqi Gaohu, who was stationed in the Pingshan camp, did not send reinforcements at all.

When Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining were still in power, Shuqi Gaohu and Sushi Liehu Shahu naturally united and united as one, and dealt with both of them at the same time. But after getting Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining, the contradiction between Shuqi Gaohu and Sushi Liehu Shahu will inevitably arise, after all, two people are in charge of the same military power, how can it be better than one person holding the power alone?

Therefore, after Shuqi Gaohu received Hu Shahu's request for help, his first reaction was not to immediately send troops to rescue Hu Shahu, but to get his chance to carry him. If Hu Shahu dies in battle, it will naturally be better, even if he does not die, but after suffering this defeat, Wanyan Yungong will never reuse Hu Shahu in the future, so won't all this military power be in his own hands? As for the 25,000 men and horses in the camp of the deer, they are nothing? Anyway, his own people are four or five times that of Wanyan Changzhi, and if there are less than these 20,000 or 30,000 people, it will not change the overall situation.

After making up his mind, Shuqi Gaohu not only did not send reinforcements, but killed the envoy sent by Sushi Liehu Shahu to ask for help, and at the same time strictly ordered his subordinates who knew about it not to leak this matter. And then pretend that nothing has happened, and do nothing.

But he was not stupid either, and immediately came to his senses and knew that reinforcements would never come. He was so angry that he scolded Shuqi Gaohu in the direction of the Pingshan camp. But now it's useless to say anything, all the men and horses of Wanyan Changzhi have been killed in the camp, and the camp of the deer has become a mess.

Since the servant scattered Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining were impeached by Wanyan Yungong, the morale of their soldiers has been very low, and Sushi Liehu Shahu has no prestige in the army, so almost everyone has no fighting spirit, if there is a camp wall separated by a better thing, as soon as the wall is broken, the soldiers are not willing to fight to the death with Wanyan Changzhi's men and horses, and each finds a place to hide and flee for his life. The whole battle situation was suddenly one-sided.

The centaurs of the end of the face are different. This time, he brought 15,000 men and horses, half of whom were Nanjing soldiers and half of Zhongdu soldiers. At the beginning, it was all the soldiers of Nanjing. And the people of Zhongdu were behind, watching Wanyan Changzhi lead the soldiers in Nanjing to throw firearms and launch rockets, successfully breaking through the walled wall and entering the camp. Seeing that the current situation was favorable to their side, the soldiers of Zhongdu could not help but be in good spirits, and they also forgot to be afraid, raised their weapons one after another, and then rushed into the camp where they captured the deer.

He was busy for a while, but found that few people obeyed his command, and he couldn't help but be deflated, knowing that defeat was a foregone conclusion, and if he didn't run again, he was afraid that he would be caught again. When he was in Nanjing, he was caught by Wanyan Changzhi once, but he was opened by Wanyan Changzhi and let go. If he was caught again, he would probably not have such good luck, so Hu Shahu immediately mounted his horse and escaped from the camp with more than 200 personal guards and ran west.

This battle was fought until dawn, and the deer camp was reduced to rubble. Wanyan Changzhi won a complete victory, beheading nearly 4,000 people and capturing more than 6,000 people. Later, Wanyan Changzhi did not stay in the deer for a long time, led the soldiers, and escorted the prisoners across the Hutuo River and returned to Zhending Mansion.

After dawn, the Sushi Liehu Shahu gathered up the remnants of the army, and gathered several thousand people, but the deer camp was destroyed, in fact, it was not destroyed, and he did not dare to go back to station, so he had to take the men and horses to Jingcheng and stay temporarily.

At this time, someone came to report that the emperor's army had arrived in Weizhou, so Hu Shahu rushed to Weizhou with the remnants of the army to see Yan Yungong.

After seeing the car, Wan Yan Yungong knew the news of his defeat, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously very annoyed. At this time, Shuqi Gaohu had already arrived, and was on the emperor's side, looking at Hu Shahu with some schadenfreude.

Although Su Shilie Hu Shahu greeted all the women of Shuqi Gaohu's family in his heart, he didn't dare to attack in front of the emperor, so he had to kneel down and ask for guilt.

Wan Yan Yun patted the table angrily and said, "Hu Shahu, you lost this battle and frustrated my spirit, do you still have the face to see me now?" "Since the defeat of Western Xia, Wanyan Yungong has been on fire in his heart, and he finally found two scapegoats, so he was a little relieved. This time in the decisive battle with Wanyan Changzhi, his own men and horses were nearly five times that of Wanyan Changzhi, and he also felt that he was holding the victory, so he drove the expedition again, wanting to get back the face he had lost in Xixia. Nazhi and Wanyan Changzhi were defeated in the first battle, how could he not be angry.

Su Shilie Hu Shahu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister deserves death, but the minister and Gao Hu made an agreement and became horns for each other, and if one side was attacked, the other side immediately sent troops to support." But last night, the minister came to Gao Hu's rescue, but he did not move, and let the minister's single soldier fight with Wanyan Changzhi, and it was difficult to sing alone, so there was this defeat, and please let Your Majesty know it. ”

After Yan Yungong listened, he turned his head to Shuqi Gao Hu and said, "Gao Hu, is there such a thing?" ”

Shuqi Gaohu had already thought of what to say, so he replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has sent troops. ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he lied, he didn't send troops at all. ”

Mu Qi Gaohu said: "Your Majesty, the minister only received Hu Shahu's rescue after the second watch, gathered the team, and sorted out the outfits, so he arrived to get the deer after the fourth watch, and at that time Hu Shahu escaped with the scriptures, and the deer camp was occupied by Wanyan Changzhi." Seeing that the battle situation was decided, the minister was afraid that the Pingshan camp would lose, so he did not dare to act rashly, so he led the army to withdraw. Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

Su Shilie Hu Shahu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is obviously his deliberate delay in time, from Pingshan to Zhulu, it took two times, he deliberately came late." ”

At this time, Yan Yungong was also a little confused, and he couldn't figure out who was reasonable.

Shuqi Gaohu said again: "Your Majesty, there are only 30,000 horses in total, and it is impossible to attack Hu Shahu." And Hu Shahu has 25,000 defenders in the camp of Deer, and there are still camps to defend, even if there are no reinforcements, he should be able to defend the village. However, he didn't even hold on to two shifts, so who didn't fight hard? Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate. ”

After saying this, Yan Yungong immediately slapped the table and said sharply: "Hu Shahu, this is obviously because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are unwilling to fight hard, and you dare to quibble." You first lost Nanjing, and now you have lost the deer, and you have been defeated repeatedly, what is the use of me leaving you, someone came to push Hu Shahu out and behead him. ”

Shuqi Gaohu was happy in his heart, but he startled Wanyan Baisa on the other side, Wanyan Baisa didn't understand military affairs, and he didn't know who was right and wrong between the two, but when he heard that the emperor wanted to kill Hu Shahu, he felt that something was wrong, because Hu Shahu and Shuqi Gaohu were in charge of the military together, so they would contain each other, and no one would threaten their status. Once Hu Shahu is killed, Shuqi Gaohu will definitely be in charge of the military alone, which is not good for himself, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that the enemy is present, it is not good to kill the general first, and now is the time to employ people, so it is better to spare General Su Shilie first, let him make meritorious service with his crimes, and redeem his merits." ”

In fact, Su Shilie Hu Shahu is also quite relied on by Wan Yan Yungong, and Wan Yan Yungong will not deal with him at all for ordinary minor mistakes. It's just that this time he really swept Yan Yungong's face, so he was annoyed for a while, so he wanted to kill Hu Shahu, and now he saw that Wan Yan Baisa saved him, Wan Yan Yungong also calmed down a little, and just borrowed the ladder to go down the wall. However, he still couldn't breathe down in his heart, so he said: "Okay, according to Bai Sa's words, spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions." However, the death penalty is forgiven, and the living crime cannot be forgiven, come, drag Hu Shahu down, beat 40 military sticks, and then there will be a disadvantage in the battle, and escape from the battle, this is an example. ”

Wanyan Baisa saw that Hu Shahu's life was saved, so he thought that it was good, and he also wanted to make the emperor smooth, so he didn't stop it anymore. And Shuqi Gaohu was even more disappointed in his heart, but the emperor didn't dare to say more when he spoke.

So the soldiers of the two columns dragged Hu Shahu down, fell to the ground and beat him with forty military sticks, only to beat Hu Shahu's skin and flesh open, and blood was dripping, and after the execution was completed, the whole person fainted to death.
