Chapter 1532 Defeat and Crime, the Fall of the Western Army

Xiao Tang saw that Huang You had already taken off the armor on his body, and after An Daoquan's diagnosis and treatment, several lieutenant generals who accompanied the army had applied wounds to his body with wounds, and he was about to bandage them with sackcloth. He fought bloody battles and resisted desperately, not only with several arrow sores on his body, but also with many shocking scars, but Huang You's expression was as usual, he still straightened his body, still like steel hitting iron, and he didn't care about his injuries at all.

Seeing that this Song General is also a tough guy like a copper hammer and iron casting, Xiao Tang also secretly praised in his heart, he used to talk to Liu Fa often, and when he talked about the national generals who had served under his account in the past, he heard about the name and general origin of this Huang You, so he also respectfully returned the salute and said: "General Huang is loyal and upright, and he does not hesitate to fight to the death for the country, I also admire it very much, and it is worthy of being a character that Liu Jingluo once praised." ”

Huang You's face was overjoyed when he saw this, and he hurriedly said: "The last general, Liu Jingluo, was really rescued by Yi Zhanyi!" But I don't know where the official is now? ”

"Now Liu Jingluo and other soldiers and horses of the righteous army under my command are deployed in the area of Heshuo, guarding the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom from the east road to the south at any time. When the situation eases a little, General Huang and Liu Jingluo also have the opportunity to reunite. ”

Huang You also put his mind at ease when he heard Xiao Tang's reassurance, and then said decisively: "The last general is still the same sentence, now the war in Taiyuan, Hedong is urgent, Xiao Shuai is also willing to be driven when he has the last general!" ”

Xiao Tang bowed slightly, and secretly mentioned this person's words and deeds from Liu Fa's mouth, this Huang You can also be said to be an outlier in Fang Jin's season, he entered Taixue at the age of fifteen, and once stood out in Guozixue, and ascended to the rank of Shidi, successively served as the magistrate of the county, the state government and other ministry, which also proved that his talent and ability were enough to gain a foothold in the civil official group of the Song Dynasty. However, in the context of the Song Dynasty's use of literature to control military force, Huang You was bent on seeking a military position in the war-prone western border court and the Hebei border pass, and now he is a staff officer under the control of the envoy. In the eyes of those people, Huang You's behavior is undoubtedly the fact that the parents and officials of Song Jingzhou County, who are safe and happy and stay away from the war, do not do it, and they want to go to a lowly job in the border area, but this is not crazy?

Liu Fa also asked Huang You's thoughts in confusion, and he also replied impassionedly, "In case of a letter warning and a horse leather shroud, it is my Suzhi", and although he was born in Taixue, he has also sharpened his skills in the border pass army, not only has the ability to command a group of soldiers and horses, but also can analyze the battle situation according to local conditions.

This Huang You seems to be a very typical idealist, Xiao Tang thought that compared to the long-cherished ambition in his heart, he regarded personal gains and losses very lightly, and now with the hatred of the country and the family, he only thought about how to resist foreign humiliation, so even if the relationship between Xiao Tang's troops and the imperial court is still a little strange and sensitive, Huang You is still willing to try his best to help the righteous army that can only rely on this way to resist the Jin army.

After all, in the official history, the Jin army made it clear that it was centered on attacking Taiyuan, and then set up a position to annihilate more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and the Song army lost a large number of living forces, which was not only inevitable that Hedong would not be able to keep it, but even taught the Jin army to infiltrate and invade the Shaanxi territory, causing the rest of the Western Army units in the border court that had not yet recovered their vitality to suffer a fatal blow. In addition to factors such as the strength of the Jin army, which was in full swing, the Song court was overly radical and forcibly interfered in military affairs, and ordered the seed division to move rashly and had to go to bear the siege of the Jin army, Yao Gu and other generals of the Western army did not go to support the soldiers and horses who urgently needed to support each other. The Jin army was well dispatched, but the Song Dynasty still died by itself, and the commanders of the Western Army were killed in battle, and they were easily broken by the enemy, so how could there be any chance of victory?

And Huang You did think the same, he had already gone through it before the Ghost Gate, and with his intelligence, the Song army obviously had a lot of soldiers who decided to die to protect the territory, but why he was so defeated after a few battles, he couldn't figure it out. Now the battle of the forbidden army defending Hedong is sparsely fought, which also makes him, a marching general, disheartened. Rao is willing to risk his life in order to defend his homeland, but he also understands that there are too many pickled things involved in the Song army, and it is difficult to recover the decline. Even if Xiao Tang once rebelled against the imperial court, he was first grateful that he had saved the life of his former benefactor Liu Fa, and now he is not subject to the control of the imperial court, whether this Xiao Tang is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses who was crowned by the official family due to temporary expediency, or he is still the leader of the rebel army of all roads, as long as he is now the only hope that he can drive out the Tartars of the Jin Kingdom to protect Hedong, how can I not work with him?

The little Xianggong was unconscious, and the Song army along his way had been completely disabled, but Huang You, a military general dispatched by the Song court, took the initiative to promise to help as a staff officer of the army, and Xiao Tang was of course happy to recruit him to fight against Jin together. Especially now, he and the seed division took the lead in advancing into Hedong, and fought many large and small formations with the Jin army, and Huang You can also provide a lot of help when considering the terrain and analyzing the distribution and movement of the enemy army.

Yu killed Xiongling to save the small kind of Xianggong, and also killed the main generals such as Yan Huonu and Heni, and the main force of the Jin army of Yinshuke Division, which besieged the city of Taiyuan hundreds of miles away, should have known that the Song Dynasty was convenient and a large number of reinforcements were killed behind them. In order to prepare for being stabbed in the back by the enemy when attacking the city with all his might, he must have also deployed the army to set up a position and fight with the rebel army led by Xiao Tang in front of Taiyuan City.

At the same time that Xiao Tang was dispatching troops again, Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, who were rushing to help Shaanzhou, had also reported the fast horse battle. There are Taihang Mountain, Lianzhai and Heshuo Zhudi, the brave and strong anti-Jin Zhongyi Baoshe righteous army gathered troops along the path, and then Han Shizhong commanded and dispatched the Jin army that suddenly killed behind the besieging Shaanzhou, and also achieved a great victory.

First, Niu Gao led the Swinging Cavalry Army to ride directly to the handsome tent camp set up by the Jin army, and then Han Shizhong took advantage of the momentary rout of the enemy's army formation to resolutely order the whole army to cover up. Li Xiaozhong, who was defending the city, learned that reinforcements had arrived in time, and immediately led the soldiers and civilians in the city to open the city gate and rush out. The Jin army obviously did not predict that the Song army had been defeated in the previous round, but in the direction of Hedong Road, it was still able to gather so many soldiers and horses in a short period of time, the two armies led by Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, the Taihang Mountain Lianhuan Village, the Anti-Jin Zhongyi Baoshe Righteous Army, and several Jingnan armies led by Li Xiaozhong, plus the number of people and green forests in the areas of Gyeonggi, Hedong, and Guanshan to resist Jin and the brave number reached 100,000, and the partial division of the Jin army that was outflanked along the way was killed by surprise. There is also Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the official history, who commanded Ruoding, and a big victory, which was also expected by Xiao Tang.

As for the generals who commanded the Jin army, Ulu was killed by the siege of Li Xiaozhong and the leaders of several righteous armies led by him, and Ah Hu was killed by Niu Gao who rushed to the front of him.

However, in the battle report, Xiao Tang still sighed that Niu Geng, the partial general of the Swinging Cavalry Army of Niu Gao's department, and Jin Ding, the partial general of the Hengchong Army of Han Shizhong's Division, were killed in the melee because they were hit by a stray arrow, and were knocked over by the enemy general and trampled by the chaotic army. In the anti-Jin war, two more leaders were added to the battle, Xiao Tang was inevitably depressed for a while, and soon he also worked hard, and ordered the fast horse to report to Han Shizhong, Niu Gao and Taihang Mountain Lianlianzhai, the Righteous and Righteous Baoshe Righteous Army and the Forbidden Army led by Li Xiaozhong The Righteous and Brave Troops joined forces, and then went north to Taiyuan, and the righteous army under his command prepared for a full-scale battle with the main force of the Jin Army.

On the other hand, Xiao Tang previously knew that the state government offices in Xiangzhou, Huazhou and other places north of Bianjing were also ordered to recruit righteous soldiers, collect the defeated army in Hedong in the previous wars, and recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life to prepare for the resistance. Before waving the army to kill Xiongling and galloping to help the small kind of Xianggong, he had ordered Ma Ling, the leader of the military planes who came and went, and his cronies to go everywhere to tell the soldiers who had been recruited in several state capitals to go north, and they were also planning to make preparations for the full-scale battle of the main force of the Jin army led by Yinshuke.

However, at the moment when the battle was imminent, when the fast horses of the south of Taiyuan Mansion were shuttling back and forth, there was also an edict from the imperial court, because the army was defeated in the middle of the division, and the responsibility of the defeated army was lost, and the military position was temporarily demoted.

The old Xianggong was helpless to be restrained by the imperial court in Bianjing, and the small Xianggong was indeed a little wronged by such a treatment. However, now the seed clan is depressed, Xiao Tang heard the edict when he heard the edict, he was also the Western Army's generation of generals in Shaanxi Sanyuan Yao's treatment was even more miserable, as the backbone of the Yao clan is now Yao Gu did not go to the aid of the seed division within the time limit, almost at the same time Xiao Tang led the army to kill Xiongling at the same time because of the military commander Jiao Anjie fake transmission of military information, resulting in the army's heart shaken, and encountered the Jin army's other troops and horses were killed and lost, the imperial court issued an edict that Yao Gu's defeat was unforgivable, and he had been stripped of his official body and degraded Lingnan Guangzhou distribution.

Shaanxi Sanyuan Yao's generals from Yao Yu, Yao Xiong and the Western Border Court made great achievements, and the decline and decline of Yao Gu at this time has become a foregone conclusion. After hearing the report, Xiao Tang thought of Yao Pingzhong, the little lieutenant of the Yao family who had obeyed orders under his account several times, and couldn't help but think that now that the Yao family has fallen into the middle of the road, he, a general who has also made many meritorious contributions to the Song Dynasty, will still leave the army according to his original trajectory and become a secluded person who has lived in seclusion in the mountains for decades?
