Chapter 686: Jinxi Destroys Hu Qi (I)
Zhang Xian spent a whole day slaughtering 200,000 Korean soldiers and more than 30,000 gold soldiers on the battlefield. When night fell, he fell into a new contemplation.
Just when Zhang Xian was in deep thought, the sound of killing in Jinzhou City was already shaking the sky.
Yang Yizhong personally commanded an army of 240,000 troops, and after spending a day with air battles, the bombed city turned into a sea of fire, and the soldiers and civilians in the bombed city were killed and wounded countless times.
As soon as the order for the general attack was issued, the soldiers of the four towns first cheered in unison. Immediately, the artillery handed over the cannon to the transporters who came up from the rear to help take care of it temporarily, and the flying kites also threw the flying kites to several transport battalions and the top of the mountain.
As the infantry shouted and began to charge, they also took up muskets, raised broadswords and spears and roared to join the charge at the gates that had long been blown up and did not know where they had gone.
"Slaughter the Jurchens and kill the ...... of Goryeo"
The same trumpet has become the absolute main theme over Jinzhou City.
"Refuse to surrender, kill or ......"
In this way, the order was given, and on this night, it became the voice that every general of the Great Song Dynasty King Shi shouted the most.
"Those who commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away, ......"
"Those who mess with my Great Song Dynasty will destroy their ......"
The words of the two heroes of the world became the greatest booster that uplifted the night and encouraged every soldier to forget their fears, put down their morals, and devote themselves to killing every enemy they could see.
Slaughtering the city, no matter what nationality, killing everyone in the city, Yang Yizhong's order was given like this.
With such an order from the commander, when the Song army entered the city. It's just that in a short period of time, it seems that the original weak nature of the Central Plains people has been lost. All of them have become butchers who kill people without blinking.
So much so that many years later. When a military clerk who participated in this battle of annihilation on this day told his descendants about the battle, he could only say that it was a massacre that made all the Great Song soldiers lose their minds and fall into madness.
So much so that many years later, he participated in this massacre, shot with his own hands, and slashed to death more than 30 soldiers defending the enemy and civilians in the city. Later, when he told his family about this past, he used it as "crazy revenge" and "irrational slaughter".
So much so that many years later, Yang Yizhong recalled the battle with almost excitedly dancing with his hands, showing off to his family and friends how he had successfully turned 480,000 Song soldiers into a group of cold-blooded warriors with a city......
Yang Yizhong has the capital to show off, and the sufficient capital to show off to the world in the future.
But this capital is not really only the slaughter of Jinzhou City, when he led his troops into Jinzhou City to start the massacre. Sixty miles northwest of Jinzhou City, another massacre was fought in Zhiyanzhi.
The 80,000 Tatar cavalry were neatly lined up in an open grassland.
On the opposite side of them. Zhi Yan looked straight at the cavalry who came up from the desert, and then looked back at Zeng Huai, the envoy of the army behind him.
"Mr. Zeng, the Tatars actually know the formation used by my Central Plains cavalry, this is so interesting, do you say yes or no?" Smiling weirdly, he asked Zeng Huai like this.
Zeng Huai looked intently at the Tatar cavalry in the distance, and after hearing his question, he sneered disdainfully and said: "Playing a formation with our army, these guys really don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”
"Then gentleman, how can I annihilate all these 80,000 Tatars here with the least loss and the shortest time?" Still smiling eerily. Zhi Yanzhi asked again.
Zhi Yanzhi is a family of the Western Army, and it stands to reason that he has a high attainment in the art of war and formation. And he also worshipped the immortals on earth as his teacher. After practicing for a long time, why did you have to ask Zeng Huai first when faced with the formation breaking method that these Tatars had put forward and had already been cracked many times?
Zhi Yan did this, because Zeng Huai was also from a famous family. His great-grandfather was a former prime minister, who went through the three dynasties of Song Renzong, Song Yingzong and Song Shenzong. His grandfather was also the right prime minister, and he even participated in the Xining reform.
Although his father was only a senator and secretary and a young eunuch, he was far less than his great-grandfather and grandfather. But the Zeng family Confucianism is also a wealthy family, and he himself is an outstanding student who has just graduated from the first special training class and advanced battle class of the martial arts hall.
The Great Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, made the children of a family like Zhi Yanzhi have already learned to respect the officialdom norms of scholars first. The talented and learned people who came out of the two-phase family made Zhi Yanzhi respect him a little more. So since Zeng Huai arrived at Zhi Yanzhi's side two days ago, Zhi Yanzhi has always regarded him as a military advisor and a little gentleman.
Although he was born in a Confucian family, Zeng Huai did not have the pretentiousness and excessive self-esteem of the children of the Confucian and Taoist families.
He knows very well why he respects and respects him so much, and he also knows how to behave in the world.
So after asking directly, he raised his hand and pointed to the Tatar cavalry formation and said, "With the wisdom of a general, why use me to say more?" Presumably, the generals had already seen that behind the enemy's back, the valleys on both flanks were the weakest places for the enemy's forces. As long as the general sent out a detachment of 10,000 elite cavalry to seize the high place there and defend the high place, it would be difficult for those Hu cavalry to escape. ”
The words stopped slightly, withdrew his hand, and a cold smile appeared on his face, Zeng Huai looked at Zhi Yan and said directly: "As for how to kill those Hu Qi with the minimum loss and the shortest time, hehehe, I believe that the general is far better than me, who is only talking on paper most of the time, right?" ”
"Hahaha......"
After listening to Zeng Huai's words, Zhi Yan laughed heartily.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and he first looked at Zeng Huai and said, "Since Mr. thinks I can, then I will make an axe in front of you, a master disciple." If there is any shortcoming, I hope Mr. will remind you in time. ”
After a pause, Zhi Yan turned his head to look at the messenger behind him, and said loudly: "Order Yang Zhen to lead the two bids to take the East Mountain Pass, and order Sun Wei to take 10,000 people to take the West Mountain Pass." The other armies should concentrate all their artillery on the enemy's flanks and launch a covering bombardment first, so as not to give the enemy any opportunity to intercept and rescue. ”
After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed at the enemy formation, and then said: "Zhang Sheng will lead 20,000 fire cavalry, and immediately launch a cruising charge against the enemy after the artillery bombardment stops." Lure the enemy first, if the enemy does not come out, and then punish Shi Wei and Zhuang Yongzhen to lead 20,000 fire cavalry to attack Zhang Sheng with scattered cavalry. ”
After the order was given, Zhi Yan turned his head sideways and looked at Zeng Huai again: "Sir, can you add anything, you can join the battle order." (To be continued.) )
