It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, until now, the Zhongdu Imperial Court and Guo Ning's Zhou Guogongdu Marshal's Mansion have always regarded themselves as Dajin orthodox.
Ever since Zhang Xingxin's misfortune, Chao's literati who were good at Chinese writing recognized the situation very quickly. They spend their days writing slogans and scolding the Kaifeng court. Every word they say is that the puppet emperor and puppet government in Kaifeng have destroyed the stability and unity, tried to split the country, and ruined the splendid country left by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. In fact, they are the eternal sinners of the Jurchens.
But the lower you get to the lower levels of the military and civilians, the less they pay attention to the Jin Dynasty. Especially in the six states on both sides of the Yuhe River on West Hebei Road, Li Ting made a bold move to cancel all Meng'an plans and announced that he would not recognize the existence of Jurchens at all. As a result, many local Jurchens claimed that they were Bohai people or Huli Gai people. Some of them were so quick that they even got promoted.
This situation, coupled with a stern edict from Zhongdu, can make people roll with laughter.
Most of Li Ting's subordinates followed Li Ting's temperament and were obsessed with the change of dynasty. So when they arrived at the killing ground, they confidently cursed the other party as the Jurchen's dog.
However, the roar of the Ding Navy soldiers did not make the Jin Army soldiers in front of them feel ashamed. Perhaps deep in the queue, some people slowed down a little bit, but more people came up with filial piety,
For the soldiers and civilians living under the rule of the Kaifeng imperial court, aren't everyone around them the same, having been dogs for hundreds of years? They have become accustomed to bowing to the Jurchens, and are accustomed to being enslaved and exploited by others, and are driven to be brave and loyal.
What's more, Wanyan Heda really treated them with all his heart. In the past two years, Wanyan Heda was a general they had almost never seen who could put the people first and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The imperial court in Kaifeng really tried to find ways to do less work, so it was able to cope with the difficulties when millions of Jurchens went south to seek refuge.
Even though the treatment that the people received was not very good, it was better than in earlier years; at that time, the people did not know what was going on in the morning and at night, and their lives were often in danger. At least there is still one life for now! If I risk my life, I might be able to save a life for my parents, wife and children at home!
This is enough for the soldiers to follow Wanyan Heda and charge for a kill regardless of life and death!
We are both Han'er, so what? Can't there be a war between Han'er and Han'er? If we have to look into it carefully, weren’t the Song people in the Southern Dynasty also Han children? A hundred years ago, weren't everyone members of the Zhao Guan family? But in the past hundred years, there have been countless desperate fights between Han'er and Song people!
The blood of millions of people has been shed, so why care about today?
The Jin army continued to charge deeper into the camp. All the resisting horses on the outside of the camp were overthrown, and more and more troops poured in.
In contrast to the crazy attack of the Jin army without any formation, the Ding navy officers continued to form a rigorous and measured formation. Each officer continued to shout and urge, and even led the soldiers to launch a counterattack in person.
The dark rain curtain blocked the sight, so few people could grasp the overall situation of the battlefield. There were only countless hand-to-hand battles involving dozens of people, which started and ended on both sides of the road, and ended again. Blood and water mixed with rain flowed to the ground, like huge raindrops making ripples on the ground.
The roaring soldier attracted the attention of many Jin soldiers, and the most ferocious warriors in the area rushed forward. They used various weapons to beat him wildly, slashed at him, and stabbed him with spears and spears.
The soldier roared and swung his sword, cutting the front soldier in half into two pieces. However, the force was too great and he could not retract the heavy sword he swung. Instead, he was hit continuously on his body and head. Thanks to the strong armor and stomach, he was not seriously injured, but his head was buzzing and his whole body was unable to stand due to repeated impacts and staggered back.
The ground had turned into a muddy mass under the influence of rain and violent trampling. Everyone was panting heavily and wading forward and back. Once you fall into such a muddy ground, it will be troublesome to get up, and it is very likely that someone will take the opportunity to rush up and kill you.
The soldier quickly reached back to his waist, trying to untie the leather band and remove the armor and stomach. He has applied his armor in a hurry, how can it be so easy to remove it?
When he was panicking, Zhang Peng reached out and supported him. And another tarpaulin flew up in front of the two people. It turned out that Lao Liu and several companions lifted up the tent at the other end, covering several enemy soldiers who wanted to pursue.
These Jin soldiers immediately swung their knives and cut the tent into long pieces. However, this time was enough for another group of Zhang Peng's subordinates to line up in two horizontal lines and stab each other with more than a dozen spears.
The Jin army wrapped in the tent was killed almost immediately. The Ding navy officers stepped on the accumulated water and blood, then stepped on the entangled corpses, and then continued forward, standing on the edge of the road and constantly poking at the people running forward on the road. enemy.
If it were during the day, such a fighting method would immediately lead to a hail of arrows, and everyone would die like a hedgehog.
But the heavy rain and dark night made the Jin Army muster up strong courage and continuously attack in depth. It also deprived them of the ability to see the situation clearly. They could only rush forward in waves, but no one could command and pay attention in time. The tents they left behind had to deal with the Dinghai navy soldiers who kept popping up and forming formations in the tents.
The officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy were also not commanded, but with veterans and capable officers as their backbone, they naturally possess extraordinary tenacity and the determination to fight independently in complex environments. They could also distinguish the steady drumbeat of the Chinese army headquarters from the fierce fighting sounds, so they were sure that the war was still under the control of their own coach, and everyone only needed to continue fighting.
Even so, such a battle is extremely dangerous. Every team of Ding navy officers who blocked or delayed the enemy's intrusion were struggling on the edge of overturning.
The enemy is surging like a tidal wave and can easily overwhelm your own team. Occasionally, for a few breaths, the enemies would become slightly sparse, and the sight would be filled with dead people tumbling over on the ground, seriously injured people with their internal organs flowing, and lightly injured people rolling all over the ground. The frequency of lightning flashes in the sky was lower than at the beginning. Once in a while, Zhang Peng could see a pale body, bright red blood, dirty mud, and hear miserable screams.
This hell-like scene can scare a new recruit into madness. Fortunately, there are many veterans in the Ding Navy, and Zhang Peng has been on the battlefield for a long time.
He didn't mind the tragic situation and didn't care about the wounded at all. He just took advantage of every breathing moment to reorganize his queue and gather his men together to form a small square or circular formation that echoed each other.
Before the correction was over, the roar of huge footsteps, the roar from the heart when a person ran at full strength, and the screams of the injured when they were trampled alive came again.
Countless sounds suddenly filled his ears, and countless people ran past him. Someone jumped and slashed at him, and he stabbed him straight into the stomach.
The man screamed wildly, stretched out his hand to grab the straight knife stuck in his stomach, and stabbed forward with the dagger, trying to kill Zhang Peng together.
The fierce battle consumed Zhang Peng's physical strength. He was unable to draw the knife for a moment. Instead, he was stabbed in the shoulder, causing blood to spurt out. Zhang Peng had no choice but to let go of the palm holding the knife and watched as the man continued running along the road like a madman with the straight knife pierced through his chest and abdomen, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
This person can't run very far and will soon fall to the ground and be trampled into a pulp by his companions.
Zhang Peng gasped and pulled out the short knife with his left hand. At the same time, the soldier who had been fighting beside Zhang Peng was hit by the sharp ax swung from the thorn.
No matter what kind of iron armor, it is impossible to withstand the direct swing of an iron ax weighing more than ten kilograms. Huge gaps appeared in the armor's stomach, military robe, skin, bones and flesh in front of the armored soldier with one swing, like an overly plump axe. The pods burst open like that.
The Jin Army warrior who wielded a heavy ax to kill the soldier was the first to bear the brunt. His head and face were covered by the smelly solid or liquid, and even the rain could not wash it away for a while. The next moment, his calf tendon was severed by Lao Liu, who was leaning over to fight, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain.
When Lao Liu was about to pounce on him to replenish his wounds, he was hugged violently by another Jin sergeant. The two of them rolled and fell into the pond behind where rainwater had accumulated.
At this time, the sound of charging and killing gradually approached the Chinese army.
Li Ting sneered twice.
"Wanyan Heda simply wanted to catch us off guard, break up our army's organization in one fell swoop, disrupt our command system, drag both sides to the same level, and then win in a chaotic battle... It's a pity that his method is useless at all. , I, Li Erlang of Zhongdu, have fought for ten years and trained as a soldier for ten years, what kind of situation have I never seen? You want to use this method to capture me, just dream!"
The generals around him exchanged glances with each other, and they all felt that their commander was bragging again.
The Jin army charged in this way to cause chaos in Ding Haijun, but Ding Haijun refused to be in chaos. Their huge military formation is like a sponge, constantly absorbing and breaking down the enemies rushing in, weakening them from all sides.
However, this method of responding to a surprise attack was not Li Ting's sudden decision, but the original content of the military drill code, which had been specially trained several times before.
Therefore, if we must praise, it should be attributed to the enrichment of the military's grassroots level and the continuous improvement of training levels over the past year. I'm afraid it has little to do with Li Erlang's boasted ten years of tempering.
Li Ting's troops were at the forefront of the various Jiedushi envoys. They were the first to achieve full training for grassroots officers and the first to complete specialized training in accordance with military regulations. Is this because Zhou Guogong particularly trusts Li Ting and wants to teach him a strong army, or is it because Zhou Guogong is worried that Li Ting is prone to being hot-blooded, so he uses well-trained troops to restrain him?
Who knows.
However, this Ying Navy Jiedushi was worthy of being a powerful general under Zhou Guogong. Everyone is sure of one thing, that is, Wanyan Heda is definitely no match for Li Ting, and Li Ting is just waiting for Wanyan Heda to come and lead him to death.
