But it is said that "Leopard Head" has one person and one horse, which shocked more than a thousand Jurchens. He is really majestic and majestic!
However, not long after, iron hooves shook the ground behind them, and another one or two thousand Jurchen soldiers lined up to fight. The leading generals all had familiar faces.
The one in the middle is none other than General and Deputy Marshal Wanyan Yinshuke of the Kingdom of Jin. His brother Wanyan Balisu is on the left, and Wanyan Salishui, the "Crying Man", is on the right.
Next to Wanyan Sali's horse, there was another rider. This person's name was Wanyan Gunan, and he was also a veteran Muke of the Jurchen Kingdom.
This bone man was an outstanding archer and horseman. He went to Xixia with Wu Shu to make a marriage alliance and fought as far as Taiyuan. Wu Shu found out about the Song Emperor's borrowing of troops, so he quickly sent a man with fifty cavalry to search for him as far as Zhengzhou. Restored contact with Lou Shi.
When Lou Shi heard that the Jin Kingdom had formed an alliance with Xixia and that the whole army was attacking the Song Dynasty, he exclaimed that it was wonderful and decisively abandoned Zhengzhou to join forces with Wushu.
It turned out that after the troops from Canliao captured Bianjing, the Lou family was furious. The two sides occupied Zhengzhou and Bianliang. They fought for several times, but the victory was indistinguishable.
There was no loss in the situation, but who were the people in the Lou room? It was immediately obvious that our side had lost the opportunity, and Can Liao now had the advantage.
He currently only controls the city of Zhengzhou and has limited supplies, while the remaining Liao occupies a lot of Song land in Henan and Hebei, and has the prosperous and prosperous Bianliang in his hands. If the stalemate lasts for a long time, how can it be used up?
Moreover, the soldiers and horses under his command, the "Loyal and Righteous Army" of thieves and bandits he recruited were not of much use and frequently fled. The rest were mostly surrendered troops from the Liao Kingdom. Now that they were deep in the Song Dynasty, there were no reinforcements behind them, which meant that they were working hard but not making any effort.
There are even many middle and low-level generals who are secretly communicating with the remaining Liao. How can you teach people not to worry?
Fortunately, the Song Dynasty did not take the opportunity to intervene. The two officials, old and young, were busy with their own affairs——
The newly-appointed petty official visited Luoyang, enjoying his time in Bian. He also ordered all soldiers and horses from all over the world to go to Luoyang to serve the king. Those who had soldiers sent troops, those who had no soldiers were given money, and those who ignored him were punished.
The old officials who have resigned are even more micromanaging.
After the old official's family fled to Zhenjiang Mansion in Runzhou, seeing that they were free from worries, they suddenly fell back into their old ways. They secretly regretted that they had given up the throne so easily, so they acted like the Supreme Emperor and withheld all the taxes from the south to build a palace for themselves. , recruit beauties and rare treasures, and stop all the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin around him, thinking that they are defending, but the truth is: the warm wind makes the officials drunk, and they turn Runzhou into Bianzhou.
As for the real Bianzhou, they didn't even ask, allowing Jin and Liao to be the battlefield here.
There was also Zhang Shuye and his group, who bravely rushed into the imperial city to rescue them when the city was breached. Unexpectedly, Qiao Daoqing used his amazing skills and swept away all the concubines and princes, leaving the imperial city empty.
Subsequently, the Liao people attacked day and night, and Zhang Shuye resisted desperately. After more than ten days, both sides were somewhat discouraged.
But it was Zhang Bangchang who stepped forward and persuaded Zhang Shuye: "Now the old official's family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the junior official's family has been rescued by the immortal master and disappeared. What's the use of you and me sticking here? You just have to be a loyal minister. There is no need to let the soldiers die in vain, why don't I go talk to the Liao people and let me go."
Zhang Shu thought about it at night and had no choice but to let him negotiate.
Zhang Bangchang left Qin Huimen and saw Emperor Yelu Chun of Liao, his tongue blooming like a lotus flower, and he said something: "The imperial city is towering and has a wide area of food reserves. Although your army is strong, it may not be able to defeat it easily. Now the golden dog is always watching Bian." Jing, how can you feel at ease if you let me wait here? If you really can't hold on, if I burn down the imperial city, how can you get any benefit? Why don't you let me go? There are countless treasures in the imperial city, and it will be convenient for you. It’s just money to buy the road.”
Yelu Chun approached Xiao Qian to discuss it, and the two confirmed repeatedly. When they learned that the emperor's family had already escaped, he felt that it was useless, so he agreed to let him go.
So Zhang Shuye led his sons Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, as well as Lijingmen guard "Crocodile Ba" Luo E, and the remaining army to leave the imperial city at night, and was "escorted" out of Bianliang by Yelu Dashi's army.
When the news leaked out, people all over the city burst into tears: "Is Zhang Zhizhou going to abandon us too?"
When Zhang Shu heard this at night, he covered his face with his sleeves and burst into tears. When he came out of Bianliang, he immediately fell ill.
As soon as he fell, Zhang Bangchang became the leader of the team. At this time, they did not know that the small official family and his group were in Luoyang, so they retreated south to find the old official family.
This group of people finally arrived in Zhenjiang. When the old official heard that the imperial city was lost to Zhang Shuye, he was furious and said angrily: "Treasures are treasures that are lost if they are lost. How come I don't know how to take out my tens of thousands of books? Really?" Incompetent, the ultimate incompetence!”
Zhang Shuye was about to be dismissed from his post and imprisoned.
Poor Zhang Shuye dragged his sick body day and night, and his condition became worse. Now he was convicted and imprisoned. He was suffering from internal and external stress. He was imprisoned for only three or two days before he vomited blood and died miserably in the cell.
When brothers Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong learned about it, they packed up the body of their late father and knelt down crying. They howled, "My father and my son have been guarding the imperial city for more than ten days, and they have received this retribution. God has no eyes to see it."
At this time, Zhang Bangchang suddenly came out, pulled the two of them and said: "You two gentlemen, I have heard from people these days that the Supreme Emperor has been scolding His Majesty for his incompetence every day because of the loss of Bianjing. Looking at this attitude, he is actually planning for a restoration!"
The two Zhangs became even more angry when they heard about it, and they both cursed: "This foolish king has no moral integrity and has given away half of the country. Now he still has the nerve to become the king again?"
Zhang Bangchang said: "Silence! Now the commander of the Imperial City Division, Kui Xiangyang, has arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion. The road is beyond Tongguan, and it is all captured by Xixia. Mr. Xiao Zhong defends Tongguan, and the Xixia troops are directed towards Taiyuan. If Taiyuan is lost, , everything north of the Yellow River is not owned by the state!"
Er Zhang was shocked: "What can I do?"
Zhang Bangchang had already made a plan: "I can't count on this foolish king, but I found out after asking about it. Now the small official family has brought relatives of the emperor and is sitting in Xijing. There are enemies on both sides of Xijing. How can it be a place to establish a career?" You mean, we should simply flee to Xijing, assist the petty officials to attack Hanzhong, occupy Shu, and follow the example of Emperor Zhaolie. From now on, your two brothers will be Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!"
He was pointing at the country when suddenly "Crocodile Tyrant" Luo E emerged from the corner and asked, "Then who am I?"
Zhang Bangchang said smoothly: "You are Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong."
Luo E was overjoyed and said to Er Zhang, "What he said makes sense. You can go with him."
Young Master Zhang, both young and old, is very skilled in martial arts, but he has never inherited his father's strategic wisdom. They were moved for a moment, and they all nodded and said: "Since the ignorant king cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery, then go and serve his son."
It turned out that Zhang Bangchang was a minister of the low-ranking official's family. He personally helped the low-ranking official to ascend the throne. Therefore, he also got into trouble with the old official's family and punished him as a fugitive from officialdom and demoted him to a small city gate official.
Now, taking advantage of his official position, he secretly opened the city gate, four men and four horses, found a boat to cross the river, and headed straight for Luoyang.
With the imperial city of Bianjing lost, Can Liao no longer had any worries and began to take the initiative to attack Zhengzhou. When the Lou family was worried, Wan Yan Gu Nan came to find him. Only then did he know that the Jin Emperor A Gu sent troops in three directions, attacking Huangya Pass and Shahukou. , and united with Xixia to send troops.
After hearing this, Lou Shi was overjoyed and praised him profusely: "As expected of your majesty, he has the power of thunder when he moves. In this case, a certain family will go to join forces with Wushu. At that time, they can go south to attack the Song Dynasty, or they can go north to take Jiuzhou behind the mountains. It doesn't matter. For a moment, why bother fighting with Liao dogs for scraps of food?"
Immediately he ordered Yin Shuke to lead the troops of the Jurchen headquarters, and he personally served as the vanguard, crossed the Yellow River again, and went to Taiyuan to find Wu Shu. He took charge of the central army, led six thousand veterans of the Jin Kingdom, and then set off.
The remaining soldiers and horses were divided into two groups. One part was the surrendered army of the Liao Kingdom collected in Jiuzhou behind the mountain. There are still more than 20,000 people. They were organized into the "Army behind the mountain". King Yelu Yanxi of Yunzhou was appointed as the main general, and his concubine Yelu Xi Nilie was appointed as the deputy general and guarded Zhengzhou.
After all, at this time, anyone could surrender to Can Liao, but Yelu Yanxi would definitely rather die than surrender.
Another reason for not bringing this person along is that Yelu Yanxi is the old father-in-law of Lord Xia after all. Letting him meet his father-in-law and his son-in-law might lead to troubles in his life. Therefore, Wanyan Lou's family kept it secret and just went back to find out. On the way, we received reinforcements from the Kingdom of Jin.
Another force was the "Loyalty Army" that had been conquered along the Hedong Road. After several battles, and those who fled one after another, there were still about 40,000 people. However, Liu Yu, the most powerful leader among them, sealed off Bianliang. The king said that he could conquer Bianliang, and Dajin would do his best to help him establish the country.
Liu Yu is not an ordinary bandit.
He was originally the executioner on the West Road of Hebei Province. He had previously been swept away by the remnants of the Liao Dynasty. He fled without a fight, but he did not fight with Tong Guan for the road and formed a grudge. He knew that he would be liquidated if he fled back to Bianjing, so he simply became angry. , led a group of defeated troops into Luocao, Taihang Mountain, and later took refuge in Lou Shi.
This man was accustomed to being an official and was very good at pleasing people. He also relied on the bravery of his son Liu Lin and nephew Liu Ni to quickly win over many grass bandits. Seeing this, the Lou family chose him to be the tallest among the short ones and kept him here. Adding obstacles to Song and Liao.
This is what happened in the Bianliang area after Lao Cao Xi left Tongguan. How did Xiaozhong Xianggong, Lin Chong and others know about it?
At this moment, Lin Chong saw that Yin Shu could kill several people, and thought to himself: Although Brother Wu won the battle at Guizhou and the battle at Sangganhe, he also took the lives of two brothers, Xuan Zan and Xu Ning. These Jurchens are really capable of fighting. Although our army has won a victory over Xixia at this moment, the killing was in chaos. How can it be better if we take advantage of him? No matter what, let them stay.
In the original scene, more than a thousand Jurchen soldiers were chasing the Bingzhou New Army. Lin Chong lined up under the city, rode out of the formation alone, and killed more than ten people in a row. He was recognized by the enemy soldiers and was shocked for a while. However, the silver skills later attracted another Biao. When the army arrives, aren't these Jurchens ready to take action?
Lin Chong took the lead and shouted: "Silver skills are great! Under Huanzhou City, I invited you to fight several times, but you didn't come. Now that we meet, isn't it fate for you and me? Come, come, let's fight San Baihe with Lin!" "
Good Lin Chong! In order to buy time for the masters and the others, they did not care, one person and one horse, holding spears horizontally, rushed towards the two or three thousand Jurchens alone!
Yin Shuke took a drink from him and recognized Lin Chong. He immediately said angrily: "What a thief! My beloved general was injured under Huanzhou City. This revenge has not been avenged. Now he is about to take your life! Pull away from Su, you take a hundred Man, go get his head and give it to me!”
Ba Lisu nodded, roared, and rushed over with a hundred Jurchens.
Sa Lihe looked at it intently for a few times and suddenly recognized: "Oh! It turns out to be you! Be careful, this person is very powerful!"
But without the fur hat and mink tail to cover him, he recognized that Lin Chong had served as an envoy with Cao Cao.
When Ba Lisu heard the words, he really paid more attention. He rotated the pumpkin hammer in his hand to accumulate strength. When the two sides were close, he pulled the reins slightly. The horse's speed was slightly slower. The Jurchen soldier beside him jumped up first.
Lin Chong rushed all the way. He was secretly preparing to use his spear. He first stabbed the general off his horse. Unexpectedly, he pulled away quickly and cautiously. He saw four or five Jurchen soldiers coming to kill with strange screams. He had no choice but to swing his spear and fight with it. He fights.
But when he saw the spear stabbing left and right, like a wild python, he faced five capable cavalry, and he used the length of the spear to stab them three times in a row. He then turned the spear and swung away the two weapons.
Ba Lisu shouted loudly, increased the speed of his horse, stepped up, and struck with all his strength.
With this blow, he hit the right moment when Lin Chong's old strength was gone and new strength was regenerated, and he was sure that the opponent would be extremely difficult to parry.
Lin Chong saw the fierceness of his hammer and knew it was powerful. As expected, he did not hold back. He took the reins and leaned over the saddle. The horse jumped diagonally, pulling away from the speed and the hammer that was sure to win was gone.
Lin Chonglang exerted force on his waist, sat up straight, rolled up his snake spear, and swept it with all his strength, smashing two Jurchen soldiers and knocking them off their horses. He then shouted loudly and danced the spears into a ball, but he heard the sound of swords clashing and people shouting. The horse's neighing sound was heard endlessly. He waved his snake spear and was knocked out of the hundred-man team.
Pulling off his horse, he turned around, glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat: This guy is really awesome!
However, where Lin Chong went, at least twenty knights fell off their horses and were killed and injured in a mess.
Lin Chong glanced down and saw someone slashing through the armor three points above his knee, leaving a wound that was neither deep nor shallow.
The remaining cavalry turned back one after another, only to see that Lin Chong had no intention of returning to continue the hedging. Instead, he did not look back, running towards Yin Shu to kill the two thousand Jurchens around him, who were treated as if they were nothing.
Yin Shu saw that Lin Chong was coming straight to kill him, and he was shocked and praised: "How brave! If there are many such heroes among the people of Song Dynasty, who in the world can compete with him?"
He raised his hand and pointed: "Sa Lihe, lead the troops to kill him!"
In fact, Yin Shu's martial arts skills are not inferior to anyone's. However, in the previous battle at Sanggan River, Chi Yue Fei shot his arm with an arrow. Now, after a month or two, although most of the injury has healed, he is still a little weak.
When Sa Lihe heard the order, his heart trembled and he almost shed tears. However, there were so many military orders in the battle formation that he did not dare to say more. With a swing of his mace, he led more than a hundred people and charged out with a shout.
In an instant, the two sides collided, and Lin Chong laughed and said: "Crying Master, I will teach you a good way not to cry!"
Sa Li was slightly distracted when Lin Chong suddenly changed his face, yelled angrily, and smashed the spear down on his head.
Sa Lihe knew that his martial arts skills were amazing and he did not dare to neglect him at all. He used all his strength to pull out the mace and put it on his head.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chong's majestic move turned out to be empty. Seeing him raising the stick, the snake spear suddenly lost weight and turned downwards lightly. Sa Li drank and felt a chill in his throat. Then he was horrified: He cut my throat!
Lin Chong glanced at Salihe's throat with a spear, and then twisted his waist and swept across. All the Jurchen soldiers around Salihe were swept away. Just as the two horses were crossing each other, he suddenly jumped up, climbed onto Salihe's horse, and said in his ear: "If you die, you won't cry anymore."
After saying that, he tugged on the pigtails, threw Salihe off the horse, then rode Salihe, a good horse, and rushed towards Balihe and his group without stopping!
There are different teachings: generals are willing to sacrifice life and death, and the sun shines brightly and their armor is bright. Angry horses and spears split thousands of troops into pieces, and Lang Jun stopped mourning from then on.
