The offensive and defensive battle in Chang'an was in full swing. Both sides were coming and going, and both sides were already fighting with real fire.
Every day, corpses piled up in mountains above and below the city, and eventually both sides gave up collecting the corpses.
The Jin commander Nianhan ordered all the corpses to be piled under Chang'an City. Countless Jin cavalry were roaming outside, and anyone who wanted to collect the corpses would be shot on the spot.
He prevented both sides from collecting the corpses in order to create a plague and use the plague to turn Chang'an into a dead city.
After Zhao Huan saw this scene, he asked Li Gang to do it himself, cut off his hair on behalf of the leader, and then tell the world to the heroes.
Pour kerosene under the city, and a fire will burn all the corpses to ashes!
At the same time, he personally toasted, gathered together the soldiers, ministers, and even clan members who had been infected with the plague, tied them with their horses with ropes, and opened the city gate directly.
Treat them as dead soldiers and rush towards the Jin camp.
Everyone was tied with flying fire and poured with fire oil. There were real dead soldiers hiding among them.
As long as they rush into the Jin camp, they will immediately ignite flames and detonate flying fire. Whether they are corpses or flesh and blood, they will all be poured into the Jin camp.
Let the plague spread upon them as well.
No matter how hard it is, both sides have reached the extreme.
There were heavy casualties in Chang'an City, but the Song army fought with real fire, and the huge casualties brought only two emotions.
Either fear or hatred.
After overcoming the fear, the hatred will make them completely let go of the fear of the Jin people, and the anger will turn them into complete dead soldiers.
The same is true for the Jin people. They are not as afraid as they imagined. They feel the shame.
The Song people are getting stronger and stronger and they have been prepared, but now the Song people have caused them such heavy losses under a Chang'an city.
The angry Jin people massacred more than ten cities around Chang'an. Countless people were pushed to the front line and told Zhao Huan to kill them all if he did not open the city gates.
Or simply drive the people to attack the city!
Zhao Huan didn't know how others solved this situation. He only used one method. Tong Guan "knocked him out" and then directly ordered all those who dared to rush into Chang'an City to be shot on the spot.
No matter he is a gold man or a commoner, shoot them all.
The person who executed this order was Kong Yanzhou, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department and the captain of the law enforcement team who was previously responsible for killing those who fled the battle.
Zhao Huan was seriously ill, and he was unconscious. He did not come out struggling and crying until all the people were killed.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, he wailed endlessly, and immediately ordered Kong Yanzhou to be cut into pieces to pay homage to the heroes of the world.
At the same time, it was announced to the world that all people in Shaanzhou, Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanzhong Chang'an and other places would be exempted from taxes for three years.
In addition, an edict was issued that from now on, in addition to the imperial examinations held every three years, there will be an additional encore in these places.
Help the local people regain their strength and calm down their grievances!
This series of operations was performed with great skill, and the historian on the side recorded all of this in the daily record.
He did not give Zhao Huan any dignity, including his serious illness, beheading Kong Yanzhou, etc., and recorded everything in the record.
Faced with the hint from the Imperial City Secretary, he resumed his sentence.
daily life notes
When Tong Guan saw this, he ordered a strict investigation, and then asked Zhao Huan to kick him to the ground.
"It is the historian's duty to record daily life. What's the matter with you? What nonsense do you need to do here!"
Zhao Huan didn't mind how he was written in history books, and he didn't think it was the intention of civil officials or scholar-bureaucrats.
Record truthfully, this is the rule of the historian, and no one except Qin Hui really went back to smash this red line.
Even if he was as powerful as the Han Dynasty, there would be disasters in the harem. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty could not change the fact of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Zhu Di's compilation of the Yongle Dadian into the most amazing book in ancient and modern times could not change the fact that he was the uncle who usurped the throne of his nephew.
In the future, whether you will be strong or weak, whether the people will thank you or criticize you is the final determination. Other than that, nothing else matters.
Zhao Huan defended the city of Chang'an, leaving Wanyan Zongfu and Nianhan to lose their troops but unable to escape.
At this time, Wu Jie of the original monk was the first to receive the most correct news.
"After a deadly battle in Chang'an, the Jin army returned to support, recaptured Fengxiang Mansion, and sent troops to Shaanxi Province."
This piece of news made Wu Jie a little overwhelmed. He is a famous general, a fierce general, and a veteran.
But so many years of fighting experience told him that he had never seen this kind of strategy. The emperor was used as bait, and then the generals went to regain the lost territory.
No general in his right mind would be able to figure this out!
Why?
Why march and fight?
In addition to the so-called family, country and world, the biggest reason is that he did not show off his knowledge and sell his literary and martial arts to the emperor's family!
When have you heard that your Majesty died in the battle after you fought? Whether you have any merit or not, it is a capital crime.
So no one would think of this method.
But Zhao Huan dared to do this, and... he also knew that Wu Jie and Li Yanxian were both complete lunatics like him.
"Since His Majesty has given an order, we must obey it. Let's beat the drum and gather together!"
As soon as Wu Jie said it, let alone other people, his brother Wu Lin couldn't help but persuade him.
"Brother, Your Majesty doesn't know how to fight. Now, should I consider this order carefully?"
"Your Majesty has given an order, and what's the problem here?
Brother Wanyan Yinshu had already sent his generals to Chang'an to fight to the death. At this time, their troops must have been reduced.
The offense during this period can also be seen.
Of course we cannot let go of this God-given opportunity! "
Wu Jie's words made his younger brother Wu Lin a little confused about what to say. He could only frown and follow him, hoping that his eldest brother would wake up.
But it was obvious that he underestimated his big brother's madness.
Wu Jie's madness is not only reflected in his recognition of Zhao Huan's plan, but also in his own plan.
"Have you finished building what you were asked to build before?"
"Go back to General, we are ready!"
After beating the drum and gathering together, Wu Jie showed his strength for the first time.
It has been more than a year in Shangshangyuan. For such a long time, they have relied on the support of the people to survive. They have tried every means to survive.
I have persisted until now.
But in this case, Wu Jie just used 30% of his troops to do another thing.
That is to dismantle the two bed crossbows he left behind, and then follow the gourd's pattern and forcibly punch out more than ten brand-new bed crossbows.
Then some of the army's weapons were melted down to create the arrows for the crossbow.
Now, Brother Wanyan Yinshu at the foot of the mountain has transferred a new generation of Iron Buddha from the rear, and Wulu and Shehe have also returned here.
The monk had laid many ambushes, and he firmly believed that Wu Jie would not hold on to the end, and he would definitely try his best to break out of the encirclement.
After fighting each other for such a long time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu felt that he had seen through him.
By the same token, Wu Jie has also seen through Brother Wanyan Yinshu.
“It’s no secret that I’m not going to stay here forever.
Although Monk Yuan is considered dangerous, our defense is also very tight, so the Jin people really can't attack.
But there is not enough food and water here, and no food can be grown.
In the past, relying on the people to provide us with food was not a long-term solution after all.
Now that we have reached this point, we will definitely break out, and Brother Wanyan Yinshu will definitely set an ambush outside! "
Faced with the puzzlement of Wu Lin and others looking at the bed crossbow, Wu Jie could only explain to them.
"You still don't understand?" Seeing everyone's confusion, Wu Jie couldn't help but shook his head, "Think about it carefully.
This is Fengxiang Mansion, and this is Monk Plains. There are many mountains and rivers here, but there are really not many plains.
The Jin cavalry does not have much power here.
If we lose the advantage of cavalry, even if they have many soldiers and horses, how can they kill us all?
What else can be relied upon by Brother Wanyan Yinshu? "
"Come here, bring those corpses up!" Looking at the people who still didn't understand, Wu Jie simply stopped showing off and gave the order directly, and several corpses were brought up.
All are the bodies of golden men.
He was still wearing heavy armor, and it made a dull sound when it was thrown to the ground.
"These are the Jin soldiers that we killed. I found these three corpses among the many corpses. I didn't pay much attention to them at first.
But the armor on these people shocked a certain family.
This craftsmanship and this iron armor are no longer inferior to my Song Dynasty armor.
And this is just a captain. "
After Wu Jie finished speaking, he looked at the deputy general beside him, and then at the armor on his body.
After such a long period of fighting, the armor looked tattered, and the appearance alone was not as bright as the one on the corpse.
"This armor shows that the Jin people are slowly catching up with me now, no matter which bastard sold my Da Song technology.
Now that the golden man has armor and a war horse, if they combine the two... I am afraid that even if you have never done this kind of thing, you have heard about it in books.
It would probably be difficult if we relied on our mortal bodies.
So a certain family asked them to build this bed crossbow.
This time a certain family not only has to break through, but they also have to break out with bed crossbows! "
After Wu Jie finished speaking, although everyone still couldn't believe it, since it had reached this point, they naturally would not oppose their general.
"Today, take out all the food and fodder. All the soldiers will have a full meal and prepare to fight!"
"Beat the drum, keep beating the drum, force Brother Wanyan Yinshu to attack Monk Yuan and test us!"
"Seize the opportunity. As long as a certain family gives the order, they will all rush out immediately. Wu Lin, you are responsible for protecting the crossbow.
Remember, you can die and nothing will happen to you! "
"Have you ever understood!"
"The last general takes command!"
Everyone shouted, and then they got ready to go, and at the same time, the sound of beating drums sounded again.
The fierce sound of drum beating made the golden men below the monk become nervous.
The commander-in-chief, Brother Wanyan Yinshu, immediately led his troops to the high platform and asked the ranger scouts to go and find out the news.
But at this time, Wu Jie's camp was tightly guarded and could not give them a chance to investigate.
"Then Wu Jie is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid the day of breaking out is just around the corner.
I can't wait to fight Wu Jie without knowing anything.
Send troops and horses to test! "
At this time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu had used this period of time to continuously capture Fengxiang Mansion, Dashan Pass, Wuguan, Lantian and other places.
Several armies gathered under Monk Yuanxia again, and there were also many Song rebels who had surrendered, and their strength was stronger than before.
Wu Jie only garrisoned Monk Yuanshang with thousands of soldiers, but kept them from advancing for months and years. Both sides already understood each other.
At this time, under the order of Brother Wanyan Yinshu, the strong cavalry of Wulu and Sheheling entered Beishan in advance, hoping to attack Monk Yuan and test Wu Jie's current methods.
And Wu Jie was also unhurried, taking advantage of the favorable terrain, divided his army into two teams, and led the first team to fight fiercely with the Jin soldiers.
This fierce battle started in the morning and continued into the sun, even close to noon.
Both sides are short of men and horses, and everyone is struggling to persevere.
At this time, Wu Jie saw that the time had come, so he threw a resting group of fresh troops into the battle. These soldiers were well fed and drank, and everyone was vigorous and brave.
After the soldiers and horses of the two parties merged, they fought bravely and finally trapped the Jin army in the valley of Monk Yuan. In desperation, Wulu and Shehe could only dismount the army and fight on foot with the entangled Song army.
At the same time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu immediately sent many Song Army traitors who had surrendered to them to attack the west hillside, hoping to launch a front and rear attack.
It's a pity that Wu Jie had already been prepared for this. His general Tian Sheng had already been ambushing here. When the soldier rushed up, his troops immediately came out.
In a fight, the rebels suffered numerous casualties and fled in disgrace.
The plan of attacking from both front and back was completely ruined.
At this time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu could only beat the gongs and drums, light up the smoke, and tell his subordinates Wulu and Shehe to slowly evacuate with their soldiers and horses, even as he said it was unlucky.
Withdrawing from the valley to Huangniu Fort southwest of Monk Yuan, Wu Jie naturally refused to let them go so easily. He followed them all the way and killed many of their soldiers.
They were even more defeated.
There was a fierce battle from Monk Yuan to Huangniu Fort, and then from Huangniu Fort again. They were still attacked by Wu Jie, and they had no choice but to evacuate again.
At the same time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu sent his general, Wuli, who had previously conquered Fengxiang Mansion, to attack Jianjun Pass. He wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle between Wu Jie and his army to capture this place and the monk Yuan Wu Jie. They echo each other from afar and are the key points of each other's horns.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he set off without taking the lead, Wu Lin, who had been staying in the camp, discovered the problem on the back foot. At this time, Wu Lin also showed his decisiveness as a famous general.
Immediately ignoring everyone's obstruction, he took away almost all the soldiers and horses in the camp, leaving only Na Tian Sheng to continue to bluff in the camp, while he himself led the soldiers and horses to Jianxiao Pass to defend first.
The bluff prevented Brother Wanyan Yinshu from discovering the problem with Monk Yuan immediately until the battle report from Jianxiao Pass came.
The Song army laid many obstacles to stop Na Moili, and even laid an ambush to defeat him.
Only then did Brother Wanyan Yinshu react.
Most of the thousands of soldiers and horses were fighting with Wulu and others, and there were hundreds of soldiers and horses who had previously ambushed the Song rebels.
Now there is still a troop of soldiers and horses going to Jianjun Pass...which means that this monk is actually an empty camp!
After discovering this, Brother Wanyan Yinshu immediately mobilized his troops and went forward.
It's a pity that his speed is still a step slower.
Wu Jie had already learned about this situation from the scouts coming from behind, and immediately gave up chasing Wulu and others, and returned to Monk Yuan.
When Brother Wanyan Yinshu wanted to attack, he found that Wu Jie was already waiting for him and there was no chance.
In this battle, both sides had figured out the details of the other side. Wu Jie knew that although Brother Wanyan Yinshu had transferred his elite troops, he had also received a lot of reinforcements and many rebels.
At the same time, the strength is still increasing.
Brother Wanyan Yinshu also knew that Wu Jie's soldiers and horses still had good morale, his strategy was still good, and he was brave in killing and should not be underestimated.
If you want to win, you must mobilize many soldiers and horses again.
And the time is probably very close!
"Wait for now before we break out. Brother Wanyan Yinshu will have to make a desperate move."
"Tell the rear army to speed up and let those soldiers and horses who surrendered to us also speed up!
Within three days, we must gather a hundred thousand troops to attack Monk Yuan! "
