The Kingdom of Jin has been in decline for decades. Generations of Jurchen aristocrats have been ignorant and corrupt. They are prone to internal strife and are incompetent in governing the country, causing resentment among the people of thousands of miles away. Otherwise, they would not have abandoned the capital and intended to set up another stove in Henan, far away from Longxing.
The Jurchens' military force has become extremely weak. Otherwise, they would not have been pushed out of the new capital by the powerful officials of Han Dynasty. Even the Song people, who should have respected their ministerial duties for generations, came to fight against the autumn wind. Get the benefits.
However, when the last excitement of the Jurchens was about to be destroyed, a few people would occasionally emerge among the millions of Jurchens. They burst out with incredible talents and regained the courage of their ancestors to drink blood from the white mountains and black waters. They believed that they could turn the tide!
At this time, Wanyan Shouxu issued an edict to destroy the battle, Wanyan made clear his determination and stated his will, Wanyan Chen and the monk rode long distances, they are all such people!
The sound of the drum was fierce, and in an instant, the drum stopped.
As soon as the drum beat stopped, Wanyan calmly shook off the two Ali Xi who were bandaging his wounds, and strode out of the tent regardless of the blood flowing from the two wounds on his hands. He stood on the high platform and shouted sternly: "Don't stop! Keep beating the second tom! Don't stop the third tom either!"
The cavalry shouted and issued orders, and dozens of shirtless men continued to beat the second tom.
The sound of the drums was deafening. Their muscles were tangled, their movements were short and powerful, and their sweat continued to flow with the thunderous drumbeats, and was annihilated by the smoke and dust stirred up by the rush of waves of soldiers and horses.
Emperor Tianxing in Kaifeng City and King Sui Wanyan Shouxu in Zhongdu City had been waiting at the top of Nanxunmen City after issuing the edict.
Nanxunmen is the newly built south gate of Kaifeng's outer city. To the north is Fengyi Gate, the south gate of Zicheng. To the north are Longjin Bridge and Danfeng Gate. It looks like there are multiple gates overlapping each other, and it is extremely dense.
However, when I climbed up and looked over, I saw that the people were desolate. Most of the buildings inside the outer city were in ruins. Where there were plows for fields, most of the newly built buildings were military camps and school grounds. Some projects were halfway completed and temporarily suspended. Huge trees and strange rocks carried from other places were thrown everywhere, and were now being loaded onto carts to be transported to the city wall for defense.
The direction of the convoy was not to the outer city, but to the sub-city that Hou Zhi had carefully built. Because the outer city cannot be defended at all, such a big city was built on a scale that accumulated millions of stone grains, garrisoned with 100,000 troops, and could withstand a million enemy troops. The Kaifeng court was close to the Song Dynasty, and it was a mortal enemy of the Zhongdu court. , the capital of this four-war place must be prepared for war.
Unfortunately, the Ding navy arrived too quickly, so the Kaifeng court had not yet collected millions of grains of food, nor did it have 100,000 soldiers. Therefore, the outer city is completely useless, and we can only hope for the field battle in the direction of Lincaiguan.
The problem at hand is...
Do the reinforcements have the determination to fight in the field? With the situation like this, are they still willing to fight for the Kingdom of Jin as people of the White Mountains and Black Waters?
In the past two years, I have worked hard to select people and generals in Kaifeng and treat people with sincerity. Maybe it's because I'm too young and my methods are sometimes immature, but my sincerity is true. Can this sincerity get any response from the generals?
The emperor held his hands on the city wall and looked forward to it.
"Drums! It's drums! The drums are shaking the sky and the earth! Our army is dispatched!" A nearby attendant shouted happily.
"Drums? Where are the drums?"
Even though they were forty miles away, the emperor couldn't hear clearly. He could only hear the whistling of the wind. He lifted up the sleeves of his robe and tried to stand high on the city wall, but was immediately stopped by the attendants.
"Get out of the way and shut up, I can't hear you!" the emperor shouted angrily.
The servants were afraid that the emperor would fall into the city, so how could they dare to get out of the way?
Everyone said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a drum sound. It is the marching drum sound of our troops of the Thirteen Captains of Kaifeng!"
The drums continued to roar, from the first to the second, to the third, without pause.
The deafening drumbeats penetrated the numerous military formations, almost echoing the drums leading the march in the Chenliu Camp of the Dinghai Navy, shaking the water surface of the Chenliu old path of the Bian River below the camp.
The sentry cavalry turned back and ran into the middle army: "The whole army of the Jin Army at Lincai Pass is dispatched, with banners covering the sun and spears like a forest!"
Surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, Guo Ning rode on a high hill, with a red flag waving behind him and the scorching sun above his head.
He smiled slightly and said calmly: "The Jurchens gathered quickly, and their morale improved quickly... Thirty thousand people are going to fight for their lives."
Guo Ning has no particular hatred for the Jurchens.
He is different from the soldiers of the Red Coat Army. Most of the soldiers of the Red Coat Army are civilians from Shandong. They themselves cannot survive because of the Jurchens who broke their bones and sucked out their marrow. Almost everyone has dozens of blood debts hanging on their heads. , so the anger in his chest is overwhelming.
But after all, Guo Ning was born in the frontier army of Daijin, and he barely managed to eat the food of Daijin for more than ten years.
When he was young, he had seen too many Jurchen nobles act recklessly, and had seen too many ant people or soldiers in the army being bullied and oppressed to death. At that time, he and everyone around him felt that it was natural. Maybe they would hate a certain Jurchen officer, but they didn't. Stop pointing the finger at the Jurchens as a whole.
Now, relying on the knowledge brought by his big dream, Guo Ning is about to destroy the last force of the Jurchens in one battle, and then destroy the Kaifeng court that the Jurchens have supported themselves; once the Kaifeng court of the Jurchens is destroyed, Guo Ning will In this way, he asked the Zhongdu court for merit, and then swept the few Jurchen nobles in Zhongdu into the garbage.
But he didn't do it out of revenge or anything like that. He just felt that he could turn history in a new direction and make the future world better, so it was inevitable to replace the Jin Dynasty.
As for his feelings towards the Jurchens, it was probably because he had been through life and death too many times in reality. The change of dynasties when the Jin Kingdom took control of the Central Plains, or the bloody massacre of Han'er by the Jurchens, could not make Guo Ning care too much.
When he thought about it, even if the Jurchens were not around, there would be a lot of killings during the change of political power between Han and Er. There are murderers and beasts among the Jurchens, and there are also among Han'er.
Once the Mongols took over the Central Plains, they created mountains of corpses and seas of blood that were even worse than those of the Jurchens, and their harsh treatment of Han'er was even more severe. Not to mention that in later generations, close relatives of the Jurchens emerged among the white mountains and black waters, killing heads all over the world.
However, although he didn't mind, it did not affect Guo Ning's determination.
On the battlefield, Guo Ning, as the leader of the Han military group, must kill these most brave and loyal Jurchens in one go.
This is the reward for the continuous oppression, bullying and massacre of the Jurchens for hundreds of years. It is the trial of all the crimes that can be said and cannot be said. It is the declaration that thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have returned to the hands of the Han, and it is also a prerequisite for the stability of the new dynasty. .
Guo Ning's thoughts were also understood by the civil and military people around him.
After all, a new dynasty is about to be established, and everyone has transformed from a reckless person into a famous minister and general. They start to lose face and start to calculate their own reputation in the history books. Therefore, some things were not convenient to do in China, so the Jurchens had to be allowed to flee to Henan. After this sudden attack, the army waited in Chenliu for many days. It had a secret purpose, which was to hope that the elite Jurchens would retain some fighting spirit and gather together quickly for a fight.
Only by killing all these people here can the new dynasty stand tall, talk about tolerance and reconciliation, benevolence and generosity, and then pacify all people without discrimination!
This battle is a battle between Jurchens and trapped beasts, and it may be a bit hard to fight. However, you will definitely win.
"Send the order!"
Guo Ning said in a deep voice.
The left and right generals held their heads high and their chests high at the same time. The metal blades of the armor and stomach of dozens or hundreds of people collided with each other, and the soft sounds came together in one place.
"The forwards formed a horizontal formation to meet the enemy, and the left and right wings moved forward. The center army did not move, and the retinue of cavalry followed me closely."
The orders are very simple, and they all use familiar routines, so there is no need to go into details; every battle has been fought until now, and everyone knows the meaning of this one, so there is no need to mention threats such as killing those who retreat.
Guo Ning gave the order casually, and all the generals and generals rushed to the team one after another, while he rode straight down the high slope.
He and his retinue of cavalry started from their own center, circled to the right wing, and then to the left wing. Behind him, Ni Yi led several sturdy men and held up a three-foot-six-foot-high banner with the word "Guo" in it. Everyone's face was red.
The flag rolled fiercely, representing that the commander-in-chief of the Ding Navy personally patrolled the formation, attracting tens of thousands of soldiers to cheer in unison.
At this time, don't say anything about Dai Jin's loyal minister anymore. Although everyone did not believe it, the joy of finally abandoning this barrier still made the soldiers' blood boil.
At first, the soldiers were shouting that the marshal was powerful and that the navy would win, but soon they chose a simpler slogan. As if they had a telepathic connection, the officers and soldiers of the three armies shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
The next moment, the two armies approached, and the waves at the front crashed against each other.
