Nianhan was being carried by his own soldiers, his buttocks were bleeding profusely, and his fat face was all a pale gold color.
Watching the enemy soldiers continue to attack, more and more, knowing that today they are going to turn defeat into victory, probably out of wishful thinking, they gritted their teeth and shouted: "Gather the men and horses, push forward, kill Moli, you come to cut off the rear!"
The Jin soldiers immediately divided into two groups. The front group had more than a thousand men, guarding Nianhan and Wanyan Zongjun. They went forward like wolves and tigers to kill fiercely. Xie Zhen's troops could not resist and retreated continuously.
There were also more than a thousand people in the latter group. No matter how Duan Sanniang and Wen Da used their troops to attack, they would not move a step like a rock.
Mo Lizhi fought with Zhou Tong on foot. He was strong, his stick was heavy, and his weapon was long. Zhou Tong tried to fight at close range several times, but was forced away. After seven or eight rounds of maneuvers, he smashed the golden sword into a curved ruler with one stick. Zhou Tong had no choice but to retreat temporarily with hatred.
Moli was beheaded and he was willing to let go. He chased him closely, and one man rushed into the chrysanthemum army formation. When the big stick hit him, his flesh and blood were like mud.
Duan Sanniang stepped forward to fight, and she fought with many moves in a row. The tiger's mouth was so shocked that it cracked open. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "This eldest son is so powerful! If compared with him, my Yubao Shikong is so big."
When Wen Da saw that Duan Sanniang was defeated, he was also shocked and secretly thought: There are so many powerful generals in the Jin Kingdom! Forget it, Wu Dalang sent me here just for this moment, isn't it?
He grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward, the sword in his hand bursting with light.
In terms of strength, this veteran general may not even be able to match Duan Sanniang, but how rich is his experience during his military life? They move around with their horses and swords raised, fighting around the opponent and entangling them to death.
Duan Sanniang tore her battle skirt and tied her hands, and stepped forward to fight fiercely again. Zhou Tong grabbed a gun and joined the battle group.
The three of them surrounded Mo Li and beat him to death. Although this golden general had amazing strength, how could he withstand three kinds of weapons?
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Zhou Tong stabbed his heel with a spear. Duan Sanniang's pace slowed down. Duan Sanniang saw the opportunity, held the stick in both hands, jumped up and struck a blow with him. Wen Da took the opportunity to kill the owl with a knife.
The rest of the soldiers and horses also surrounded the Duanhou Jin soldiers and killed them fiercely. The sound of killing was so loud that the ground was filled with blood and blood was like a fountain. No one knew how many lives were withered in the vast Yanshan Mountains in the night...
Unknowingly, the sky was getting brighter, and everyone could see clearly that the soil outside Yongle City had turned into a swamp of blood, and it was difficult to pull out if you stepped in.
All the more than a thousand Jin soldiers in the rear were killed in battle, and the number of those killed in the Chrysanthemum Army was five to six thousand.
Wen Da said in shock: "Isn't this a loss of three thousand to ourselves and eight hundred to the enemy? Fortunately, we have planned ahead. If there was no such fire that sealed the city, how could we have stopped him in two fair field battles?"
Zhou Tong spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Wen, it's not like this. I'm afraid these golden soldiers are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Now they have killed and burned at least seven or eight thousand dollars." Man, since the founding of the country, he has never suffered such a defeat!"
It turned out that Li Jun led his people and sealed the city gate again. Except for a few people who jumped over the wall to escape, all the people in the city and most of the Jin soldiers were burned and killed.
Xie Zhen went under the tree to look for Jie Bao's body. She sat down and hugged him in her arms. Her eyes were lifeless, but she was so tired after the battle that she couldn't cry.
When Li Jun learned that Jie Bao died in the battle, he wept and sighed, and said to everyone: "This time we sent out troops, we planned to set up a lot of ambush and slowly lure him to Huangya Pass. Unexpectedly, the first battle resulted in so many casualties." , and had to change course.”
Wen Da and others all said: "If you have something to think about, just follow your instructions. We will obey everything."
Li Jun nodded and said: "This fire is enough to anger the golden dog. If we fight with him again, it will be too much. The golden dog is not an unscrupulous person. Now that he knows that we are not easy to deal with, he will definitely not underestimate the enemy again. By then a It’s not good, I’ll have to use his hands and feet.”
After hearing this, everyone disagreed. Wen Da also said: "This is the safest way. Let's go back to the gate and rely on the terrain to fight him decisively."
Not to mention how he returned to the army here, but the group of Jin soldiers who broke out of the encirclement marched all the way. Before they could return to Dading Mansion, Nianhan had already bled to death.
When all the generals of the Jin Kingdom learned about Nianhan's death, they all stumbled and cried.
The commander-in-chief Wanyan Xieye, while gnashing his teeth, ordered Wanyan Zongjun to go to Wanyan Aguda in person to report the funeral. At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers in Dading Prefecture to go to Huangya Pass to seek revenge from the Juhua Army.
Xie also ordered Xi Wangxiamo, the subordinate general, and Xi Li, the Xibu Xijiedu envoy, to be the main and deputy vanguards. They led 30,000 Xi troops from their headquarters to open roads in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and widen the roads into the mountains.
He also ordered Yelu Yujian and Zhao Heshou, the former training envoy of the Zhongjing regiment, to serve as the second line of vanguards, commanding 50,000 troops and horses, and marched out one after another.
He led a group of Jurchen lieutenant generals to sit in charge of the central army and slowly came out.
He was also afraid that Zhang Jue of Yu Pass would take advantage of the situation to attack the wild fire after fighting to Huangya Pass, so he ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead his resentful army and attack to Yu Pass to camp. He did not seek to defeat Xiong Pass, but only wanted to hold the pass and prevent Zhang Jue from sending troops.
A few days later, Wanyan Zongjun rushed to Linhuang Mansion. When Aguda learned that Nianhan had been killed, he screamed in sorrow, kicked Zongjun over, and shed two old tears.
The civil and military officials around him hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Wan Yanxie has also led his army to fight out. Soon he will be able to break through the pass and capture all the bandits. By then, they will be cut into pieces by a thousand swords to avenge Nianhan."
Aguda said angrily: "To be able to kill Nianhan and kill eight thousand of my athletes, how can an ordinary bandit do it? Besides, don't you realize it's a coincidence? A group of bandits here occupy Huangya Pass, and they dare to attack on their own initiative. , there is another group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin over there, occupying the tiger's mouth. So far, it is difficult to get information from Lou Shi's headquarters... Wait, could it be that we have won several battles in recent years and they are all as slow as a pig?"
The ministers were so scolded that they did not dare to raise their heads. His younger brother Wu Qimai was surprised and said: "When the emperor said this, there is really something fishy. The Khitan people have been fighting bloody battles with us for many years. Their elite soldiers and horses have long been wiped out. Emperor Tian Zuo has surrendered." , who can trap Lou Shi?"
While he was talking, the old Prime Minister Wanyan Zacchaeus came crying all the way.
This man was Wanyan Aguda's cousin and Nianhan's biological father. He was nearly seventy years old at this time. He had always been old and sick, and had not been in court for a long time. He only waited for old age and death, and then Nianhan took over the power of the prime minister.
Aguda saw him crying so hard that he couldn't help but shed tears again. He stood up and staggered to greet him. He held Zacchaeus's hands and cried, "Brother Zacchaeus, it's my incompetence that I didn't take care of Nianhan."
Zacchaeus shook his head repeatedly, wiped away his tears, and said sadly: "He didn't know how to advance or retreat. He fell into the trap of luring the enemy. He killed many soldiers and horses in vain. He died unjustly. What does it have to do with you? The reason why I shed tears is not because of sadness. It's strange, but sad for those eight thousand talented people."
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but admire him even though they didn't know whether he was being pretentious or not.
Zacchaeus cried for a while and became unsteady on his feet. Aguda personally fetched a chair and helped him sit down.
Zacchaeus held Aguda's hand tightly and said, "Your Majesty, there is something fishy about Youyun. Nianhan is incompetent, let alone him. What kind of person is Lou Shi? Even Emperor Tianzuo pretended to surrender. With his ability, he can do it How could we not get any news for a long time when we led the army to fight out?"
A Gu nodded and said, "My concerns coincide with those of my brother, but it's still hard to see through them for the moment."
Zacchaeus sneered and said: "Your Majesty, what is the pass? When the old minister came, he suddenly realized that this was a treacherous plan of the Song Dynasty!"
Aguda was shocked when he heard this: "People from the Song Dynasty? How is it possible? The people of the Song Dynasty are weak, and a partial army from the Liao Kingdom can still defeat Tong Guan and take away all his land in Hebei. How can they have the guts to offend our country?"
Wanyan Zongjun, who was kneeling aside and did not dare to say anything, suddenly shouted at this moment: "Ah, father, during the battle that night, I heard brother Nianhan shouting, it seemed that there was a thief general whom he had seen before. It seems to be called something...'Sai Bawang'?"
"Sai Bawang?" A Guda frowned and muttered twice, then suddenly changed his expression: "Is it the madman who kidnapped my beloved daughter? Oh... Wu Zhi? Wasn't he buried in the sea by the Holy Mother's magic? What?"
Zacchaeus stood up suddenly, with every inch of the skin on his old face trembling: "If it is this person, it makes sense! Your Majesty, this person is ambitious and daring! In the opinion of the old minister, the Emperor of Song must have sent this person to take advantage of the opportunity. The Liao Kingdom fought with our country and invaded the land of Youyun. I am afraid that the Chrysanthemum Army was also a trick created by this person."
Aguda nodded repeatedly, but said in confusion: "But there was news before that it was clear that Tong Guan was defeated..."
"Show weakness, Your Majesty!" Zacchaeus was so anxious that his old face turned red: "I have read a lot of history books of the Han people. The Han people are used to making such tricks. That Emperor of Song Dynasty was indeed an insidious person. He ordered Wu Zhi to In the name of rebelling, I took Youyun secretly, and ordered Tong Guan to deliberately fake defeat in order to be arrogant to us! Your Majesty, our country has an alliance with the Song Dynasty, and agreed to attack the Liao Kingdom from the north and the south. If not for the incompetence of the Song people, how could they send Lou Shi? Go to Huanzhou to accept the surrender, and take advantage of the situation to attack him at Yanmen Pass?"
Aguda suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but gnashed his teeth for a moment: "So that's it! That's it! Are all the actions of the Song State deliberately showing weakness and deceiving me into making the first move and backing the alliance?"
After thinking for a while, he also nodded: "Yes, yes, showing weakness is originally their specialty. I have inquired in various ways before, and all I know is that the official in the Song Dynasty only loved to cherish beautiful women, and was obsessed with calligraphy, painting, and chess. Now it seems that you are just showing weakness on purpose? Haha, haha, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, it was so hard for you to hide it from me! You are such a scheming person, I finally saw through it today!
He turned around twice, then suddenly stood still and shouted sternly, "In that case, I'll show Zhao Ji what my methods are like!"
This is precisely the time when the war in the Northern Kingdom is still hard to extinguish, and the disputes between the Jin and Song Dynasties are about to arise. The world is full of chess pieces, and the world is full of illustrious swords and guns.
