Changyuan County, as the fortress of Daming Mansion, is now also the frontline barrier to resist the Jin people's attack on Daming Mansion.
Originally, Daming Mansion was as stable as Mount Tai.
In the rear, Marshal Hebei Road and Zongze, who was in charge of the military in Hebei and the Central Plains, escorted them, while Yang Weizhong and Li Mida cleared their flanks.
Han Shizhong from Hedong Road and Wang Yuanguansheng from Shandong Road protected them.
There are also many powerful soldiers within himself.
Zhang Suo Wang Yan, the commander of the Eight-Character Army, and the generals of the Nineteenth Village Rebel Army such as Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and others.
There are also veteran generals Quan Bangyan, Wu Zhuangyuan Xu Huiyan, left-behind capital commander Xue Guang, and heroic general Zhang Qiong.
Guo Yong, the commander-in-chief of Daming Palace, and Zhao Bushi, who joined the army, were both resourceful people. One was good at military strategy and the other could govern. Together, these people worked together to quickly restore Daming Palace's vitality.
What they are thinking is that after this year's autumn harvest, they will not only be self-sufficient, but they can even support Zongze in the rear and recruit hundreds of thousands of Hebei Road refugees again.
But now the situation is different.
After Zongze died of illness, in order to stabilize the key areas from Kaifeng to Jiankang, Zhang Suo and Wang Yan had to return with the main force of the Eight-Character Army. At this time, only Liu Ze and Jiao Wentong were stationed in the rear with less than 30,000 troops. .
As for the front line, Changyuan County only had 20,000 troops on guard, and the only generals who commanded the troops were Xue Guang and Zhang Qiong.
Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi came to support Wanyan Lou as soon as they appeared, out of fear of any problems in Changyuan County.
Now that the situation has developed to this point, neither of the two can say anything more. The reinforcements behind them have been transferred to Shandong Road. If Xue Guang really died outside.
So that was a real blow to them.
Zhao Bushi and Zhang Qiong ordered three thousand soldiers and horses and rushed out immediately. Guo Yong didn't think much after seeing them leaving and immediately gathered his soldiers and horses.
"The Jin people must have a trap waiting for Zhao Bushi and others to rescue him, although a certain family also firmly believes that Zhao Bushi and Zhang Qiong will definitely be able to rescue Xue Guang.
But that golden man is cunning, so just in case, a certain family should make preparations in advance! "
After Guo Yong finished speaking, he asked his lieutenants to go and rectify the troops, and then directly led five thousand troops to remove Changyuan County, turning Changyuan County into almost an empty city.
To be honest, this scene really frightened many people. If it weren't for Guo Yong's extraordinary ability and high prestige, I would not dare to say that this matter could be accomplished.
Not everyone can pull off the empty city strategy.
Thirty miles outside Changyuan County, Xue Guang, the grumpy commander of the left-behind capital, was now surrounded by soldiers and horses of the Jin people in all directions. Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Loushi, who were said to have died of illness in the camp At this time, he was being surrounded and strangled.
The two thousand soldiers and horses around him are now less than a thousand, and soldiers are dying in front of Xue Guang every moment. He knows that his chance of escaping today is extremely slim.
However, Xue Guang still did not surrender. Even looking at the surrendering soldiers, he did not even feel tempted.
He just roared.
"Commanders, follow me and charge!"
Still with such a simple sentence, Xue Yong, knowing that there was no hope of survival, continued to rush towards the golden man's Chinese army formation. He wanted to use his last strength to kill more golden men.
"Kill!"
"Kill it!"
A famous Jin soldier also saw this scene. They lamented Xue Yong's desperate fight, but they did not leave any hope for him because of this.
The siege became more intense.
When Zhao Bushi and Zhang Qiong came here with three thousand elites, Xue Guang was already covered in blood, and there were less than a few hundred troops around him.
Everyone looked like ghosts in the Nine Netherworld, with blood flowing all over their bodies, and the swords and guns in their hands were constantly waving. The two people did not dare to waste time and rush in immediately.
The commander Zhang Qiong was considered a fierce general. In this case, he waved his horse spear repeatedly, killing more than ten people, and finally led his elite troops to charge forward.
After that, the two sides fought and retreated, and brought out Xue Guang, who was covered in blood and his expression was blurred.
Just when they were worried that they would be surrounded again, they left the siege safely. Even in Zhao Bushi's eyes, the person who was chasing them was not very serious.
The pursuit of them even feels a bit like attending a banquet.
At this time, Zhao Bushi was a little panicked after seeing all this. He knew that something seemed wrong about this matter. He felt that the other party's goal seemed to be Changyuan County, the frontier of Daming Mansion.
"Return to the army quickly, I'm afraid there may be trouble in Changyuan County!"
Zhao Bushi guessed very accurately that Changyuan County was indeed in trouble, but his trouble was not in Changyuan County, but at the door.
Just when Zhao Bushi was about to enter Changyuan County with his troops, an ambush appeared not far from their city gate, and Gao Qingyi almost killed several of them in an encirclement.
In the end, Guo Yong, who was well prepared, suddenly appeared and rescued them.
Nianhan, who was commanding the army on the short mountain, saw that Guo Yong suddenly appeared and his plan failed. Instead of being unhappy, he had a smile on his lips.
"Song people...are really good."
Nianhan gave an evaluation, then continued to watch the battlefield slowly fall into calm, and ordered the army to evacuate.
"Commander, you will finally have a heavy responsibility!"
"Nothing, nothing." Nianhan shook his hand and did not blame Gao Qingyi, "If a certain family wants to, then he can't save Changyuan County."
"In that case, why would General..."
"So what if we break through Changyuan County? Although today's battle is not a victory, it is not a failure. And knowing the importance of Changyuan County, we will be able to break through Daming Mansion just around the corner."
After Nianhan finished speaking, he said nothing more and directly ordered his soldiers to start attacking the city again and again, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Guo Yong and others in Changyuan County.
At the same time, in Changyuan County, Guo Yong, Zhao Bushi and others still looked bad. They risked their lives to rescue Xue Yong just to protect Xue Yong's life and prevent him from dying in an ambush.
They succeeded, and Xue Yong fought his way out of the heavy siege, but they also failed.
Because Xue Yong didn't even carry it through that night and died on the bed.
Seeing the blood flowing all over his body and Xue Guang's voiceless body, everyone's expressions were very ugly.
"The Jin people are attacking the city again. A certain family is going to garrison, and I'll leave this place to you two." Zhang Qiong, who was also injured, can no longer stay here.
He and Xue Guang have been colleagues for many years, but now he doesn't know what it feels like to look at the corpse in front of him, but no matter what, he doesn't want this guy to lie in front of him like this, while he doesn't know anything. can not do this.
Fighting continued on the city wall, and Song soldiers or Jin soldiers were killed every moment.
The casualties became more and more heavy, but Nianhan still did not take action personally. He just handed over all command matters to the two veterans Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Gao.
They are all over sixty years old and have spent their entire lives fighting for the Jin people.
The purpose of bringing them out this time was to fulfill their last long-cherished wish, and that was all for them to be on the battlefield.
In this kind of life and death battle, something like this can still happen. Looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, it seems that only Nian Han has the courage.
At this time, Nianhan was facing a group of Song people. These were ordinary soldiers he transferred directly from all over the north. They were not many, and they were not elites.
And their purpose is also very simple.
"You are divided into two groups. Some of them put on the armor of the Song soldiers, get some scars on their bodies, leave from here and take a small road around Changyuan County, and go to various places in this Daming Mansion to tell them that Changyuan County is here. Yuan County has been under attack for several days and is in critical condition.
You are defeated and you cannot return to the city. Don't worry about whether you will go to the battlefield again.
What a certain company asks you to do is to pass on the news here, that's all.
As for the other people who have taken off the armor on your bodies, you are a group of refugees from today on. Hide your stuff, and that thing is what saves your lives.
There is only one order for you, stay alive!
Do you understand? "
"I will obey your orders." Everyone roared in unison, and then left separately. It really felt like an elite like this.
Gao Qingyi on the side couldn't help but couldn't understand when he saw this.
"Why is the commander doing this?"
"I ask you to read more military books, but you just refuse to do so. Although you don't have this ambition, we, Daijin, built our country through military exploits. What will happen in the future if you don't know the art of war at all?"
Nianhan didn't answer. He scolded Gao Qingyi before continuing.
"This group of people are not elite. Even if you look at them now, they are actually very incompetent.
Letting this group of people act as internal agents for us will only make them a constraint and loophole for us, but they are extremely skilled in the things they are asked to do.
Didn’t the Song people feel that they could start a counterattack?
Starting today, Hebei Road, as well as Shandong Road and Hedong Road that we occupy will all be opened.
Those rebels from the Song Dynasty can do whatever they want, burn, kill, loot, or do something we didn't let them do before.
In short, it is just one sentence to let those Song rebels release their personalities and then become more and more crazy, making it impossible for the people in these places to survive for a day.
They all fled desperately to the Song people. "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to this in the future..."
"It's a piece of rotten land, what use can they have? Using these to bring down the Song Dynasty's court is our best choice.
And where do you think these soldiers will go in the end?
They will eventually join the Song army. Is it possible that the Song people will kill them all? "
"If we really kill them all..."
"Then arrange some more soldiers, let them abide by etiquette, treat the people well, and protect them at the same time!
Let them act according to their conscience, and when Song Ting kills people, send these people out to kill...
If the Song people don’t kill, we will become Song people and kill for them! "
