The two sides in Monk Yuan have stabilized again. Brother Wanyan Yinshu wants to mobilize many rebels to kill Wu Jie and break through Monk Yuan.
Wu Jie happened to want to catch them all in one fell swoop, so the two sides had an unspoken decisive battle.
Not only did soldiers and horses gather, not only Fengxiang Mansion and many surrounding passes, but also Zhang Zhongfu, the brother of Zhang Zhongyan, the traitorous Jingyuan Road general who had surrendered to the Jin before, also joined them on the pretext of coming to join them with food and baggage.
Although the main force of the Jin people was transferred to the battle of Chang'an in large numbers for a time, after many rebels gathered, nearly 100,000 people gathered under Brother Wanyan Yinshu's command.
And among them is the second-generation Jin elite, Tiefutu!
Zhang Zhongfu and his younger brother Zhang Zhongyan were both generals from the Zhang family in Anding. They moved to Zhangyi Fort and formed their current family background.
Compared with Li Yanqi who followed Liu Qi back then, Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan were truly from wealthy and distinguished families. Their father, Zhang Kui, was promoted to Grand Master and was granted the title of Duke of Qing.
When the late emperor Zhao Ji was still in power, he received the favor of being appointed Chengjie Lang.
After that, he was promoted all the way to Zhining Prefecture, Huan Prefecture and Zhenrong Prefecture.
How could a person like this thrive in the Song Dynasty?
Because his early resume is really beautiful.
At the end of Xuanhe, Nianhan commanded an army to formally attack the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji abdicated and Zhao Huan ascended the throne. At this time, their father, Grand Master Zhang Kui, was also responsible for staying in Taiyuan.
Became one of the Taiyuan guards.
The Battle of Taiyuan was fought fiercely, with heavy casualties on both sides. Taiyuan was almost turned into an empty city, and Zhang Kui, the Grand Master, died in the battle.
Zhang Zhongfu, who learned the news, was still a general in the Western Army at that time.
After the defeat of the Western Army, he led more than ten men into the Jin army to retrieve his father's body, and then rushed out with all his strength. This battle was not a conspiracy by the Jin people.
Taking advantage of the Jin people charging ahead, he fought his way into the ruins of Taiyuan, carried his father's body across Hedong and returned to the Song Dynasty.
After that, he was transferred back to Jingyuan Road and served as the commander under Qu Duan. Later, he served as the Zhizhen Rongjun and pacifier, following Qu Duan, Liu Qi and others to guard Shaanzhou and other places.
During the Battle of Fuping, Li Gang ordered Liu Qi to send troops to Huanzhou, and ordered the commander Zhang Zhongfu and the official Zhao Bin to stay in Weizhou.
As a result, both Zhang Zhongfu and Zhao Bin were Qu Duan's confidants. As Qu Duan's confidants, they naturally followed the general's temperament. Their arrogance and arrogance were exactly the same as Qu Duan's.
Both of them looked down upon Liu Qi...
They were worried that Liu Qi would not be able to resist another attack by the Jin army, so they planned with each other to drive Liu Qi out, occupy Jingyuan themselves, and then defend it and achieve great success.
As a result, the two sides were at odds. In order to deal with the Jin's attack, Liu Qi could only send his general Li Yanqi to pursue Murong Wei, and personally led the elite to rescue Weizhou. At this time, the Jin army had already arrived at Weizhou City.
In this way, Liu Qi was held in Weizhou. Zhang Zhongfu and Zhao Bin in the rear were still indifferent. Liu Qi had no choice but to abandon Weizhou and retreat to the Deshun Army. Li Yanqi, who was also in a dilemma, escaped. Arrive at Guyuanzhou.
As a result, the two brothers Zhao Bin, Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan, who had reacted at this time, looked at the Jin people under the city, and then looked at the news that the Jin people had broken the game.
In the end, after discussing with each other, they directly chose to surrender. However, Liu Qi's subordinates informed Li Yanqi that they had completely cut off their escape route, and then they were surrounded and had no choice but to surrender.
After this battle, Wanyan Zongfu appointed him as the envoy to suppress the Tao Army, to know Weizhou, and as the envoy to appease the Jingyuan Road.
He became a famous presence among the rebel generals who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom.
Even when his younger brother Zhang Zhongyan was in the Song Dynasty, his reputation could be evaluated in four words.
Be an official with integrity!
If history had not changed, this guy would have dared to kill members of the Wanyan family for the sake of military law, and would have dared to regulate the local government. There would be no way for traitors to hide themselves, and people would obey him.
When he died, the people mourned and left the market, and erected a statue to worship him.
For such a person, Zhao Huan would not say that he did not expect him to surrender. Even if he had thought of it, Zhao Huan might not be willing to do anything to him.
Even Zhao Huan still doesn't know who he should blame!
But these are not important anymore. Zhang Zhongfu learned about the death of his younger brother. He wanted to continue the fierce battle in Chang'an City, but was sent to Monk Yuan by Wanyan Zongfu.
Let him solve the battle of Monk Yuan as soon as possible.
And Zhang Zhongfu did not disappoint Wanyan Zongfu. Although the soldiers and horses under his command were rebels on the Jingyuan Road, they were also the elite of the Song Army's Western Forbidden Army.
When these soldiers and horses entered Monk Plains, Zhang Zhongfu immediately found the previously defeated generals and killed them in public, and then dispersed all the soldiers and horses into their army.
Then they merged all the rebels and started a strong attack directly towards Monk Yuan.
Tens of thousands of troops were dispatched together. Zhang Zhongfu was surprisingly able to command Ruoding. Although he was not a world-famous general, he was quite capable.
At the same time, the elite guards under his command were also the brave men on Jingyuan Road. Under their leadership, Tian Sheng, who was stationed at the first line of defense in Monk Yuan, once again felt heavy pressure.
After a brief fight, Zhang Zhongfu also saw the true nature of the monk and immediately adjusted his direction.
Previously, the Jin army was unable to complete a complete encirclement due to strength reasons. This time, Zhang Zhongfu set up a pontoon bridge across the Weishui River, connected Zhuying from Baoji, built a stone city, and faced off with the Song army under Wu Jie's command in a stream, preparing for a decisive battle with the Song army.
The monk was completely besieged at once, which not only suppressed Wu Jie in terms of momentum, but the most important thing was that it would be really difficult for the people to continue to send food to Wu Jie. .
This kind of pressure also allowed Wu Jie to speed up the breakout, allowing both sides to enter the final preparations for the decisive battle.
Wu Jie took out all the food and grass, and then sent dead soldiers to inquire about every move of the Jin people. He gave up harassing the Jin people and allowed the Jin people to continuously encircle them here.
When October came and night fell early, Wu Jie ordered the generals to select powerful bows and crossbows, and handed all the crossbows to his younger brother Wu Lin, and then began his own breakout.
When Wu Jie led his troops to charge, the Jin general Wanyan Yinshu below finally took a deep breath. He knew that this was the coming of a decisive battle.
"Kill the thief!"
"Enemy attack!"
Both sides burst out with powerful roars at the same time. The Jin people no longer defended the camp, but instead let the army begin to charge in the opposite direction. The two sides began a fierce attack at Monk Yuan.
Zhang Zhongfu's soldiers and horses were all veterans of the Jingyuan Road. At this time, Zhang Zhongfu gave them numerous rewards and used golden men to intimidate them, telling them that if they surrendered before the battle, their families would be in trouble.
They were forced to fight desperately, and the soldiers of Wu Jie's command captured in the previous battle and the people around Fengxiang Mansion came to them.
Let them kill him with their own hands to cut off their escape route.
Fighting together, they charged desperately, but Wu Jie was well prepared and immediately ordered all bows and crossbows to fire.
Turn offense into defense.
The crossbowmen were divided into five echelons and fired their crossbows in sequence. This is the most classic method of shooting in sections.
The bows and arrows fired continuously, like raindrops, and the countless arrows were Wu Jie's biggest achievement this year. Without the supply of baggage later, he finally chose to make a desperate move.
After smelting all the weapons captured on the battlefield and even the weapons in his own hands, he made arrows, bows and crossbows.
At this time, apart from the three to two thousand sword and shield bearers under Wu Jie's command, the only other troops he had left were the crossbowmen.
They don't even have armor on their bodies, not only to make arrows, but also to make them more portable.
Under this crazy rain of arrows, Zhang Zhongfu was helpless against Wu Jie's fighting style.
Brother Wanyan Yinshu took over his command at the critical moment.
"A certain family has been fighting Wu Jie for more than a year, how could they not know what this guy's methods are like!
Uru, defeat the enemy! "
Following Brother Wanyan Yinshu's roar, Jin general Wulu rushed out with more than a thousand Jin cavalry wearing exquisite heavy armor.
Although the number of these more than a thousand cavalrymen was small, their momentum was really astonishing. Their speed was not fast, and they were separated by a large distance from each other, but their charging posture was indomitable.
All the soldiers and horses standing in front of them were either the Song Army under Wu Jie, the Jingyuan Road rebels under Zhang Zhongfu, or the Jin soldiers and horses under Brother Wanyan Yinshu.
As long as he was in front of them, there was only one result in exchange: he was knocked away, and then he vomited blood and fell to the ground seriously injured.
Nothing can stop them!
The Iron Buddha, or the heavy armored cavalry, is the real king of this world, although today's Iron Buddha is still not particularly perfect, although today's Brother Wanyan Yinshu is not particularly familiar with them.
But this is heavy cavalry after all, and the place where they fight is also specially selected. It is flat but not wide.
This choice was specially chosen by Brother Wanyan Yinshu for Wu Jie, and it would make Wu Jie feel that this could contain their cavalry.
But this makes it easier for Wanyan Yinshu's Iron Buddha to be used.
"kill!"
The violent charge and the crazy momentum shocked everyone. This was the first time for Zhang Zhongfu to see such a thing.
Tian Sheng and others couldn't help but look at Wu Jie in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh that what they couldn't believe has now become a reality.
Divine calculation!
Wu Jie also let out a sigh of relief, and he was relieved when he saw the appearance of Tiefu Tu.
This is not just his calculation, but this Iron Buddha is no longer the first generation. The first generation of Iron Buddha briefly appeared on the battlefield in Hebei.
Under his command were the defeated troops who had lost Hebei at that time, and his trembling words were a sign of fear in the eyes of others.
But the words "heavy armor, indestructible, and arrows are useless" were recorded in Wu Jie's mind.
Until now, he finally found the opportunity to meet this golden man's trump card in person.
"The army gets out of the way!"
With an order, Wu Jie's army immediately evacuated frantically towards both sides, which made Brother Wanyan Yinshu think that the Song army was defeated.
But the scene that happened immediately caused the smile on his face to freeze.
After the Song army separated, they not only made way for the battlefield to be more convenient for Tiefutu to attack, but also made way for Wu Lin in the rear.
Also appearing at the same time was the large-scale instrument that was specifically used to attack and defend the city, the bed crossbow.
And it is the most sophisticated three-bow bed crossbow among the bed crossbows, also known as the "Eight Ox Crossbow". The arrows use hard wood as the shaft and iron pieces as the feathers. It is known as "One Gun, Three Swords and Arrows" in the world.
When attacking a city, arrows are like javelins. When fired at close range, they can be directly nailed into the city wall. When firing a salvo, rows of stilt arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, allowing siege soldiers to climb up. .
Now these things just appear on this battlefield.
"Shoot~" Wu Lin roared, an arrow flew out, and several iron pagoda cavalry were directly penetrated by the huge force on the spot.
The person at the front was torn in half, which was so miserable.
