Chapter 571: Northern Expedition (8)
In short, this is a power struggle that happened within the Jurchens, and it is a joy to see.
I have to say that there is still a lot of similarity between people. This kind of thing is not only in the Central Plains Dynasty. In the face of a crisis, those aliens who have no culture can do the same! Is it nature? Or is it inferior?
Wanyan Zonghan's heart was very angry at the moment, and he was also very helpless.
What great skills can he have after Yan Wu beggar, who among the powerful people of the Jurchen clan would not know? Before this upcoming large-scale battle that would decide the fate of the Jurchen clan. Even if he was deprived of military power because he was experienced and had first-class command ability, he actually handed over the fate of the whole clan to such an unreliable person.
This is Chi Guoguo's slap in the face. If it weren't for Wanyan Zonghan having lost his strength, then maybe Gao Yang's army hadn't arrived yet, and the Jurchens themselves would be able to fight first!
Wanyan Zonghan wanted to cry at the moment. If it weren't for saving the fate of his entire clan, he would have quit after Yan Zonghan did it! But in this situation, he can only stay in the golden horde, as a purely ideologically active staff officer.
If this battle is lost, then it will be a very extravagant thing for their Jurchen clan to return to hunting according to the tiger water! That Gao Yang is definitely a good hand at killing everything!
The Jurchens gathered the last of their forces near Zhongjing City. Almost all the males over the age of fourteen in the clan were recruited here. That's more than 100,000 people!
In addition, there are nearly 40,000 wild Jurchens they pulled out from the deep mountains and old forests. More than 80,000 Mongols pulled from the steppes.
In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Khitans, Bohai people, Murowei people, Xi people and so on. Because of the large-scale rebellion that has not yet been completely quelled. These people are no longer trusted. They all exist as slave soldiers. Do some dirty work, hard work, and use it as cannon fodder when it comes to combat.
When he learned this information, Gao Yang thought about it in his heart with malice. "Maybe no one among the Jurchen magnates has ever seen the list of gods? They don't know how dangerous it is to go into battle with a huge number of slaves? Will you be able to fight a new battle of Makino this time? ”
The Jurchen army seems to be very numerous, at least on par with the victorious army. However, the actual combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the ever-victorious army.
How many of those Jurchen men, who numbered more than 100,000, were teenagers who had not yet grown up? How many of them are old men who can't pull a bow and can't lift a shield? How many can really fight? Gao Yang is estimated that there will not be a lot.
Previously, the elite main forces of the Jurchens were concentrated in the left and right armies of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang. It has long been consumed in the previous series of battles. The military horse in Jin Taizong's hand was originally the weakest. At this moment, the battlefield is pulled. It did not pose much of a threat to the victorious army.
As for those wild Jurchens pulled out of the deep mountains and old forests. These savages have no culture, no knowledge, and no clever minds. They are simple-minded. But his character is extremely brave, and he is not afraid of life and death at all.
None of these wild Jurchens have seen anything of the world. I live in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, and I don't have any concept of right and wrong in my heart, and I don't know what the general trend of the world is and what manpower can't do.
The Jurchens went to them to borrow troops with benefits, and the wild Jurchens, who couldn't take their eyes off when they saw the benefits, immediately agreed. They don't know who their opponents are, or they don't need to know at all!
These wild girls are really strong in combat, and this is not a lie. Who can live to adulthood in the deep mountains and old forests, which one must not have a good physique? Powerful like an ox? Plus they fight wild beasts all year round. I don't care about life and death. This kind of person is the favorite sergeant of all commanders!
But! These fierce wild Jurchens have fatal flaws. That is, they have absolutely no organization or discipline at all. They have never received any sergeant training, and once they are on the battlefield, they are a rabble of courage!
These wild Jurchens have been in Zhongjing City for a few days, and they have already made a lot of trouble. Fighting, brawling, and grabbing things are trivial. Directly enter the Zhongjing City to rape silver women, rob houses, and destroy people, and they can do it!
These wild maidens dealt a great blow to the discipline of the Jin army. The other sergeants would think, if they can do it, why can't we?
Once a coherent response is formed, the discipline of the entire army will completely collapse. Once an army, an extremely large army, has completely lost discipline, what combat effectiveness will be left? It's just a bunch of bandits. In the face of the approaching army of steel. There must be only one way to go, defeat.
As an excellent commander, Wanyan Zonghan has far-reaching vision, and of course he can see the harmfulness of these things. Therefore, he has a very strict grasp of military discipline. In the past few days, I have killed a lot of fools who make trouble. However, after Wanyan Wu begged to buy it, Wanyan Zonghan lost control of the army.
And Wanyan Wu begging to buy thinks that robbing the house or something can be regarded as a big deal? They Jurchens were born to do this.
Therefore, after several wild girl real patriarchs found him to complain, Wanyan Wu immediately relaxed his requirements for military discipline. Personally, he felt that relaxing before the big war could effectively improve his combat effectiveness. That's what the Jurchens did before.
Wanyan Zonghan could only watch as the last strength of this Jin Kingdom collapsed. If he still has the strength in his hands at the moment, then he will definitely launch an armed rebellion first and oust that fool!
If it weren't for the rapid approach of the victorious army, then this army would probably have fought first!
The tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry pulled over from the steppe by Wanyan Zonghan also had no discipline at all. The combat effectiveness is even lower than that of the wild Jurchens.
Although they are all cavalry. But primitive weapons are used. With little training and forced conscription, these Mongols could only fight with the wind. It's okay to drink some leftovers after you. Expecting them to go head-to-head against the mighty Ever-Victorious Army would be an overthought of good things.
The Mongols of this era were not the ones that Temujin would command in the future. It is in a state of combat all year round, and the elite is so elite that it is invincible, and it is an invincible iron horse that sweeps across the entire Eurasian continent! The current Mongolian cavalry is just a group of ordinary horseback herdsmen!
In the end, the remaining slave soldiers were alien to both the Jurchens and Gao Yang. When the armies of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were almost wiped out, these alien races rose up when they heard the wind and launched a large-scale rebellion.
These rebellions made the Jurchens anxious, and Gu Dong, who was in a hurry, couldn't take care of the west. The whole country was in a mess in a short period of time. This is also an important reason why the Jurchens were able to accept Gao Yang's seemingly completely unacceptable peace proposal.
After the all-out encirclement and suppression of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin and others, this huge rebellion was gradually suppressed under the baptism of hundreds of thousands of heads. However, the mighty Northern Expedition of the Chang Shengjun blew the flames that had been gradually extinguished vigorously!
Under such circumstances, the Jurchens no longer dared to trust the alien soldiers who were still begging for a living under them at the moment. In the end, he simply didn't do anything, and used all the alien sergeants as slave soldiers!
The only effect of such an approach is to push these hundreds of thousands of sergeants against themselves. Maybe they really had the idea of making soy sauce in their hearts before. However, after being treated like this, it's not just an idea, it's a real desire to do it!
Such a patchwork army wants to fight against a strong army that is disciplined, morale-high, well-trained, well-equipped, and has a good commander. If it weren't for the help of the gods in their minds, there would be absolutely no chance of victory!
What's more, Gao Yang, who has a black technology that surpasses the millennium of the moment, is completely a terrifying existence for them that is even more terrifying than the gods!
It's not just the Jurchens recruiting thugs and cannon fodder in all directions. There are also those in Gaoyang! Moreover, many of them were not caught by Gao Yang on his own initiative, they all took the initiative to come and take refuge!
When Gao Yang's army was still under Yanjing City, there were already many aliens who ran over to take refuge. Gao Yang was not ambiguous, except for the Han people in the north, all of them were thrown into the death camp, ready to be used as cannon fodder at any time.
After the army of the victorious army was dispatched and the Northern Expedition began. More and more people came to join us. And when the Changsheng army broke through Songting Pass and the army approached Zhongjing in a majestic north, the number of people who came to him began to grow in geometric numbers!
The largest number of them are the Khitans. This is because Gao Yang's marriage to the former Liao princess Yelu Yu Liyan has already spread all over the world, and even the people on the prairie here know about it!
The Khitans regard Gao Yang as their own, hoping to follow Gao Yang to take revenge!
Gao Yang is also unequivocal! Accept as many people as you come! Where can you find this kind of good thing where someone takes the initiative to sell your life to you? Gao Yang can laugh out loud when he sleeps! The more aliens who take the initiative to find death, the fewer the sons of the Han family under him will die!
In particular, you can also see those aliens fighting for their lives on their own, and at the same time consuming the power of all aliens. This kind of thing is just too much fun.
Gao Yang is ready to buy a big bucket of popcorn, and then a big glass of Coke to sit aside and take a good look at this big show!
Killing people with a knife is really a pleasant thing to do. Gao Yang is in a very good mood, very good. He had already begun to plan in his mind how to send those people to the Pacific Ocean after solving the hidden danger in the north! (To be continued) R580
