In the Battle of Nanchang, Qi Fang's men took Xue Dafu's advantage of being the first to ascend the city tower, and took the lead to gain a foothold on the city tower. He wielded a long sword and killed everyone, creating conditions for the following soldiers to ascend the city tower.
Xue Dafu became more and more courageous as he fought, with more and more Song soldiers around him, but the Overlord Army was retreating steadily and could not resist.
By the time Han Wu discovered Xue Dafu, Xue Dafu had already become a threat. Han Wu was shocked and immediately sent his brave generals to lead the most elite troops to rush forward and fight.
But the so-called most elite troops here have not received any formal training. They are tall and powerful, look very intimidating, and may have strong individual combat capabilities. Other than that, there is really nothing worthy of praise. .
Xue Dafu marched forward bravely with his long sword, his desire for fame exceeded everything else. He broke through the city tower, led his troops to seize the city gate, opened the city gate, lowered the drawbridge, and welcomed the army into the city.
What followed was a very fierce street fight.
Han Wu was unwilling to admit his defeat, and his subordinates were unwilling to accept that they were about to lose everything, so they led their respective armies to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Song army.
The two sides fought from morning until dusk before the Overlord Army was finally defeated.
The main generals of the Overlord Army were killed one after another, and the remaining members of the Overlord Army were gradually compressed into a trapped beast in a very small space, as if there was no way out.
Exhausted, Han Wu hugged the concubine he loved most during this period. After enjoying the concubine's fragrance for the last time, he stabbed the concubine to death and then killed himself with a knife, ending his short-lived glory.
Before he died, he still hated why no rebel army came to rescue him. If an army came to rescue him, he would not die so helpless.
He didn't know what was happening in other places. When he saw another Song army coming for reinforcements, he vaguely guessed that the rebels in other places might also have suffered heavy losses, but it was impossible for the Song army to wipe them all out in one go.
Why don't the rebels from other places, such as Fuzhou and Ganzhou, come to help?
The title Overlord once again briefly existed for more than a month after Xiang Yu and Sun Ce, and then disappeared.
After capturing Nanchang, Qi Fang fulfilled his promise and allowed his soldiers to plunder the city for three days. They were allowed to do anything but set fire to the city.
The soldiers who had been blocked under Nanchang City for a long time accumulated a lot of negative emotions. This negative emotion must have a way to vent, so that the soldiers can continue to obey orders.
As a result, the residents of Nanchang City were ravaged.
When the Overlord Army occupied it, it was ravaged by the Overlord Army.
When the Song Army occupied it, it was ravaged by the Song Army.
All in all, there is never a time when they are not ravaged, they never see the dawn, and they never wait for real salvation.
The soldiers of the Song Army did whatever they wanted in the city, killing men when they saw them, and going up in groups to ravage pretty women when they saw them. They were ravaged until they were dying or died on the spot.
If anyone dared to resist, they would fiercely wield their knives and kill and chop into pieces the person who dared to resist.
They kill old people and young children when they see them, because they are worthless, and they need to eat more food to keep them alive.
What they prefer is to separate the family and ravage them, forcing the men to watch their women being ravaged, forcing the family to cry heartbreakingly, and then kill them all together, leaving them in pain and despair from birth to death. of.
In this way, these Song Army soldiers can obtain supreme joy and pleasure, and feel that their souls have been sublimated.
This is not entirely their fault. Why would their superiors need to humiliate, beat and scold them to obtain this kind of joy and pleasure in order to complete the sublimation of their souls?
Under normal circumstances, they did not dare to show their teeth to the superiors, so they had no choice but to vent their long-simmered anger to the "thieves and unruly people" in Nanchang City.
The city was repeatedly ravaged by the Overlord Army and the Song Army, shrouded in thick smoke, and was not saved after all.
And this Nanchang city is just one of the countless ravaged cities in this era, and it is not special at all.
While Nanchang City was crying in agony during the ravages, Zhang Jun in Lin'an City was also experiencing ups and downs in mood.
The Jiangnan West Road Counter-Rebellion War was his first war since he took office as Privy Councilor. He originally thought that this would be the Northern Expedition initiated after long preparations, but unfortunately, this first time resulted in an internal peace war. rebellion war.
Even if there is a war inside, it can also make the old soldiers who have not moved for a long time move around, become familiar with the battlefield, and stretch their rusty bodies.
He mobilized two armies, with veteran general Tian Shizhong as the commander, and pressed southward, preparing to put down the rebellion in one fell swoop.
When the war was in full swing, he received a letter from Wu Gong, in which Wu Gong introduced to him his previous achievements, including the recovery of three states, the annihilation of more than 100,000 rebels, and the killing of three rebel leaders. brilliant achievements.
This made Zhang Jun very happy. He felt that he had not misjudged the person, and the court had not chosen the wrong person. Wu Gong had the style of his father, and he could rectify the weak Jinghu Theater Army to prepare for the future wars of the Ming and Song Dynasties. Play the role of mainstay.
Next, Wu Gong changed the subject and talked about his current needs.
It turned out that Wu Gong and Qi Fang, the leader of another army, fought at the foot of Nanchang City. The two sides were competing for the ownership of Nanchang City. Wu Gong obviously arrived first, but Qi Fang unreasonably wanted to usurp his qualifications to conquer the city.
He felt that this was very unreasonable, and felt that Qi Fang was bullying newcomers by relying on his seniority, so he begged Zhang Jun to help him, for the sake of Wu Jie and Wu Lin, to help him reprimand Qi Fang and ask Qi Fang to restrain himself. Don't be so arrogant and domineering.
After reading the letter, Zhang Jun asked someone to bring a map, and marked the march route of Qi Fang and Wu Gong's armies and the time they arrived at the strategic location on the map.
According to his judgment, unless Wu Gong could fly, or Qi Fang learned how to crawl over a tortoise, there was absolutely no way Wu Gong could have arrived at Nanchang City earlier than Qi Fang.
Obviously, this was an incident in which Wu Gong used his connections to bully a weak veteran. Qi Fang must have been bullied badly.
Logically speaking, Zhang Jun should make the decision for Qi Fang and ask Wu Gong to stop bullying Qi Fang.
However, Zhang Jun thought about it again and realized that Qi Fang was Zhang Jun's old subordinate, and Zhang Jun was a close confidant of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou. When Zhao Gou was the emperor, the generals of Zhang Jun's line were the absolute powerful in the military circles of the Song Dynasty. How many people Relying on Zhang Jun's relationship, he became famous.
Then what?
How much contribution did Zhang Jun’s old department make?
Although Qi Fang is a veteran, he was also a military thief back then. He belongs to the category of people with poor backgrounds. His own political stance is the same as Zhang Jun's, and he relied on Zhang Jun's connections to get where he is today.
As a general of the peace faction, he had a conflict with General Wu of the war faction, and as Zhang Jun's political opponent, should he still speak to the people of the peace faction?
Furthermore, the Supreme Emperor is no longer the emperor. The current emperor is Zhao Hao, not Zhao Gou!
Zhang Jun, who was abandoned by Zhao Gou, is not completely without resentment. At present, the person who promotes him to return to the central government is Zhao Xun. He should be loyal to Zhao Xun and consider recruiting students wholeheartedly, not for Zhao Gou and his masters. and faction considerations.
Even now is the time to liquidate the power of the main war faction, and vigorously support the main fighting faction to prevent the main war faction from lagging behind and doing bad things during the Northern Expedition in the future.
So it is clear at a glance how to do this.
Zhang Jun then wrote a warrant, reprimanding Qi Fang, supporting Wu Gong, and expressing his attitude.
Then just a day and a half after the warrant was issued, an even more surprising news came.
It was Wu Gong who sent first-hand news, saying that the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, Li Dao's entire army was wiped out, Tian Shizhong's garrison was raided, and he died in battle.
All the grain and grass stored by the army in the two counties were burned, so that Wu Gong on the Nanchang front line was caught off guard and encountered the dilemma of being cut off from logistics.
Zhang Jun was shocked.
Li Dao's entire army was wiped out?
As an experienced general and former commander of the Yue family's army, he should be brave and good at fighting. How could he be defeated and the entire army annihilated?
That's an army of 20,000! Not 20,000 pigs!
Zhang Jun fell into boundless doubts and anxiety.
