652 Northern Expedition
When he saw Zhong Qian suddenly appearing here and rescuing Tong Wenbo from his own men, Hu Zhuge's heart couldn't help but hurriedly put away his sword, saluted Zhong Qian, and said: "General Zhong Qian, you
This is……"
Zhong Qian also slowly put his single sword into his waist, first glanced at Tong Wenbo, who was always smiling next to him, and then looked at Hu Zhuge coldly and said: "Master Hu, all the new Gao Jiajun have been captured.
As for Tong Wenbo, Your Majesty has the order to ensure his safety."
As soon as he heard the words behind Zhong Qian, Hu Zhuge immediately became anxious. How could Hu Zhuge not know how powerful Tong Wenbo was? If Tong Wenbo was spared, Hu Zhuge's future plans might not go smoothly.
Hu Zhuge immediately advised: "General Zhongqian. Tong Wenbo is a man with many tricks and tricks. You must not stay. Besides, this man is loyal to Gao'an. Even if Gao'an dies, he will wholeheartedly restore Gao'an's foundation for the sake of Your Majesty."
In order to achieve hegemony, the general thought that he should be beheaded immediately to avoid future troubles!"
"Haha." Just as Hu Zhuge finished speaking, Tong Wenbo suddenly laughed, turned around, bowed his hands to Zhong Qian, and said with a smile: "This general, little Tong Wenbo, would you like to
Conquered the Song Dynasty."
"Ah?" Tong Wenbo's words made Hu Zhuge dumbfounded. He simply couldn't believe that Tong Wenbo, who had always been loyal to Gao'an, would actually surrender on his own initiative? Hu Zhuge looked at Tong blankly.
Wen Bo happened to see Tong Wenbo turn his head.
With that joking expression on his face, Hu Zhuge immediately understood that Tong Wenbo clearly wanted to save his own life to deal with him. When he thought of this, a feeling of panic slowly rose in Hu Zhuge's heart.
Hu Zhuge's face turned pale.
Since then, the territory of the Song Dynasty has been completely restored, and the emperor Zhao Zhen re-established the country as "Xinghua", suppressed internal strife and foreign invasion, and restored the territory of the Song Dynasty. This year is called the first year of Xinghua.
The country was restored to peace, but the revenge for the Jingkang humiliation was still not avenged! The second emperor and thousands of the emperor's relatives and ministers were still in the hands of the Jin people. The people had not forgotten the Jingkang humiliation, and Zhao Zhen had not forgotten it! The spring of the second year of Xinghua began
, in Bianliang, Tokyo, which has just regained its prosperity. Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty worshiped heaven and earth, paid homage to his ancestors, and prayed to heaven.
After that, His Majesty Zhao Zhen commanded the Southern Army and the Royal Forest Army, a total of 200,000 troops. Combined with the northern center commander Yue Fei, the left commander Han Shizhong, and the right commander Wang Jin, there were four legions in total, known as a million-strong army, and the emperor personally marched.
Pledge to the Northern Expedition! In Bianliang, Tokyo, Privy Councilor Zhao Bangjie and Prime Minister Ma Kuo were in charge of the overall military and political affairs.
On Yanjing Road, the dark army of the Song Dynasty appeared south of Yanjing, and the army led by Zhao Zhen personally bore the brunt of the attack. The central city of the Eighteen Prefectures of Yanyun - Yanjing!
Although the local Jin garrison had already received the intelligence and was ready for battle as much as possible, the 200,000 elite Song troops who had fought many battles in the south were really a terrifying force that they could not resist.
After being besieged for three days and three nights, the reinforcements that the Jin army had been waiting for were unable to arrive due to the fierce attacks of the other three Song armies. Yanjing was captured by the Song army. Thirty-five thousand Jin soldiers were injured or killed.
After being captured, tens of thousands of gold soldiers fled, and Wanyan, the king of Baoshan, leaned over to protect his concubine and committed suicide.
After Yanjing was captured by the Song Army, Xijing Datong was also captured by the coalition forces of Yue Fei, the commander in the middle, and Wang Jin, the commander on the right. The coalition forces of Han Shizhong, commander in chief of the left, and Wang Gui, both of the Imperial Guards, also captured Fengsheng.
Prefecture. Soon, the Yanjing Road was completely captured by the Song army, and the Song army was approaching the Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road of the Jin Kingdom.
Thousands of Jin refugees fleeing the war fled to the northern territories for refuge, and the roads were crowded day and night. The streets of Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing were full of refugees with earth-colored faces and ragged clothes. Their faces were full of fear, and they spoke with certainty.
He told passers-by his thrilling escape story, and the people of Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing, who had just experienced the Jin Dynasty's war to destroy Liao Dynasty, let out bursts of exclamations.
At this time, Qinzong had just passed away due to mental and physical torture. Huizong, who endured the humiliation, was sent to Shangjing in the north by the Jin people. At this time, intelligence from all over the Jin country came from the front like a tide. To the dismay of the Jin people,
Words were repeated over and over again, everywhere "lost" and "surrounded" or "out of touch."
Since the Song Army's military units sent out organized scouts and sentries everywhere, the Jin Kingdom's scouts could only bring back some vague intelligence. It was very difficult for the Jin Kingdom generals to judge the Song Army's next move from this intelligence.
Yu found a sewing needle in the dark room.
Completely different from the previous results, the current Song army has defeated the Jin soldiers who had been frustrated many times. On a front line of hundreds of miles, the Song army seems to have unlimited troops and endless energy. They combined with the ten soldiers of Xixia
Ten thousand troops and Yelu Dashi's 30,000 troops simultaneously launched an attack on the pro-Jin nomadic Wanggu tribe on Xijing Road and the main force of Jin soldiers on Zhongjing Road, and also besieged ten fortified cities.
On the third day of April, Yue Fei personally commanded an army of 100,000 troops. Like a giant spider, he spun a web and headed north, approaching the enemy carefully and cautiously.
A large number of troops were sent out for reconnaissance, and messengers quickly issued orders to various ministries. There were wilderness everywhere in the north, on the endless horizon, on the rugged mountain trails, and in the secret jungles that were rarely known. There were big guns marching everywhere.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were full of weapons.
The four-pronged Song army was like streams and rivers flowing into the sea. Countless armies attacked from the south to the north. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song Dynasty's first official counterattack against the invading enemy invaders began! It truly showed that "the Song Dynasty invaded us"
Even if you are far away, you will be killed!" slogan.
On the tenth day of April, under the command of Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, the commander of Beiwei Army, led a total of 53,000 troops into the territory under the jurisdiction of Wang Gu's tribe on Zhongjing Road.
This is a magnificent army, with the formation stretching for miles. The swords are like mountains, the spears are like forests, the people are like sea, the murderous intent is like rainbow, and the horses neigh violently. The cavalry from all walks of life spread out overwhelmingly, and the formation is like sea.
The Song army's formation was at its peak, and the nomadic and ethnic minority defenders guarding several small earth cities were frightened into abandoning the city and fleeing.
Looking at the fleeing enemies in the distance, Commander Zhang Xian smiled arrogantly. He waved his hand and shouted: "We captured Tulei City today, and tomorrow we will capture Zhongjing! Soldiers, we will be there soon."
Spend the night in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing! Victory will definitely be ours!"
Finally, they were about to attack Huanglong. Thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty roared excitedly. The sound was like a mountain torrent and a tsunami. The soldiers shouted: "Go straight to Huanglong! Take Zhongjing!"
At this time, the Jin Empire finally realized its crisis. Emperor Jin Taizong of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu, begged for money and finally took action. He was now sixty, his body was gradually aging, and he was terminally ill. At this time, he could not
I hope that the newly established Great Jin Kingdom will be damaged.
After sending several envoys to seek peace with Zhao Zhen, but all of them were killed by Zhao Zhen, Jin Taizong finally understood a truth. That is, Zhao Zhen now does not want the old Huizong and thousands of Zhao family members, ministers and nobles, but
He wants his Jin Kingdom! He wants his Jin Kingdom land!
After understanding their situation clearly, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai quickly mobilized an army of 500,000 and two million people and slaves to prepare to fight against the Song army. An astonishing number of Jin people were at the edge of various cities day and night.
Trench trenches were dug and city walls were reinforced to construct layer upon layer of fortifications. The layer upon layer of trenches and ramparts continued to the end of the land, forming huge defensive fronts.
However, unlike the Jin people's ideas, the Song army did not use forceful attacks, but used various cunning military strategies. On the evening of April 12, the Song army infantry appeared like ghosts behind the Jin soldiers. This Song army
The army pretended to be a reinforcement of Jin soldiers and unexpectedly captured Fengzhou City with only a small number of Jin soldiers left behind. Yang Zaixing, commander of the Sixth Army of the Beiwei Army, personally led his troops into the city and killed all the Jin soldiers guarding the city.
Xia settled the city.
Cooperating with the Xixia army in the west, they attacked the Jin soldiers from east to west, north and south. In this way, the pocket of the encirclement was tightened!
After hearing that Fengzhou City had been captured, Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian, who was commanding the battle, had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He sent a messenger back to the rear to ask the right deputy marshal Zongfu and the marshal Wanyan Wushu to come for reinforcements.
Breakthroughs around the state.
But Yue Fei was already prepared for this. He deployed a very strong reserve force on the outside to quickly reinforce Fengzhou City. He then launched a counterattack from both wings and once again consolidated the defense line of the encirclement. After a fierce battle, the Jin soldiers not only failed to break through, but also the encirclement.
Instead, it shrank.
In the following days, the Jin soldiers launched several attacks on the Song army's front, but failed to achieve a breakthrough. After failing to break through for three consecutive days, the Jin army, which was mainly composed of nomads from the Wanggu tribe, was exhausted. Chapter 1
For four days, the Jin soldiers had to go on the defensive.
At this time, the Xixia army also arrived, and the Xixia and Song armies launched attacks on the Jin soldiers without interruption. There were countless fighting and conflicts. The Xixia and Song armies took turns to fight against the Jin soldiers, which almost overwhelmed this prestigious Jin army.
The legion is used as a training object for exercises.
The Jin people were originally good at fighting on the plains, but their advantage at this time no longer existed. The combined armies of the Song Army and the Xixia Army were too numerous. There were flags in all directions, seas of people in all directions, and majestic military songs were heard from all directions, resounding through the sky.
.
Until now, Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian had only seen the Song soldiers fleeing in panic in front of the Jin soldiers. Only now did he finally wake up. As a high-level official of the Song Dynasty, the powerful ministers and relatives of the Song Dynasty all
They were timid, weak and panic-stricken. But if these weak and weak people under the leadership of the Song Dynasty's senior officials were organized, the Song Dynasty would be reborn and burst out with incomparable power.
The Song Dynasty had a huge population, and their current army was highly disciplined and highly effective. Such a large army of the Song Dynasty was beyond the reach of the Jin Kingdom, which was unruly but had a small population.
Compared with the Song Army, the Jin soldiers did not have large-scale logistical supplies. They relied on plundering food on the spot. After several days of high-intensity fighting and marching, the Jin soldiers, composed of various ethnic minorities, Han people outside the Great Wall, and nomadic peoples,
The food was about to be exhausted. Soon, the Jin soldiers began to supply limited amounts of food. The Jin soldiers were so hungry that their eyes glowed green. Although there was an order prohibiting it, in private, some Jin soldiers and cavalry began to secretly slaughter the horses.
Already.
After two days, even the war horses were eaten up. The besieged Jin soldiers could only survive by chewing tree bark and grass roots. At this time, terrible rumors were still circulating among the Jin soldiers. Many soldiers fell asleep when they left their barracks at night.
There was no way he could go back. Two days later, his body was found somewhere in the camp. His skin and flesh had been chewed clean, leaving only a skeleton.
At this time, everyone in the Jin soldiers was in danger, for fear of being harmed. The people who were harmed were even their own people. Panic and despair gripped the entire Jin soldiers. At this time, the Jin soldiers surrendered to the Song army.
Deserters began to appear in twos and threes. Those who surrendered to the Song army still had a chance of survival. If they were left alone and fell into the hands of their hungry companions, the end would be miserable.
Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian was worried. The Song Army and the Xixia Allied Forces surrounded them heavily. The military morale and discipline of the Xijing Road Army had been weakened and it was on the verge of collapse. Now, his only hope is that other legions outside the encirclement can come to reinforce him.
What he didn't know was that the right deputy marshal Zong Fu and the marshal Wu Shu had already led their respective legions to arrive day and night. Starting from April 20, they had been fighting on the periphery with the Song Army's left marshal Han Shizhong and right marshal Wang
The blocking force led by Jin was beaten into a group.
At the end of April, the great battle of Xijing in the Jin and Song Dynasties was in full swing. There were two main battlefields in the battle. The first main battlefield was the plain area where the Wanggu tribe was located on Xijing Road. The Jin soldiers and the Wanggu tribe’s nomadic army totaled nine
The army of more than 10,000 people was divided into several groups and surrounded by the Song Army Yue Fei's 100,000 troops and the 100,000 Xixia Army. They had no food and medicine, and were already making their final struggle.
The second main battlefield is at the junction of Zhongjing and Xijing. Two hundred thousand Jin soldiers are fighting with more than two hundred thousand Song soldiers on the left and right sides of the Song army. The right deputy marshal Zong Fu and the commander Wu Shu are being besieged for them.
Allied forces relieved the siege. South Korea
Shizhong and Wang Jintou personally led the main forces of the left and right armies to block the Jin army's reinforcements on the border between Zhongjing and Xijing. They faced off against the Song army's old rivals, the right deputy marshal Zong Fu and the Jin army's military marshal Wu Shu.
This was the first large-scale head-on confrontation between Zhao Zhen's army and the main force of the Jin army since Zhao Zhen went south. The two armies were equally matched, both were famous generals in both countries, and were equally skilled in tactics and strategies.
At this moment, the Song Army's commander-in-chief Yue Fei quickly led his army to appear on Wushu's flank, while one hundred thousand Xixia troops also appeared on Zongfu's left wing. It turned out that Wanggu's Khan General Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian and his cronies
All the generals were killed and the Song army completely surrendered.
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, Wu Shu and Zong Fu retreated quickly, retreating hundreds of miles and retreating into Zhongjing City. They tried to rely on the tall walls of Zhongjing to resist the Song Dynasty army.
At dusk, outside the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, a fierce siege battle was in progress. Under the reflection of the setting sun, thousands of Song soldiers were attacking the towering city wall in a dense formation. The attacking formation was like the sea.
It's like a wave that never stops.
The flames thrown and erupted from artillery and firearms outside the city cut through the sky and attacked the city wall. Black soaring flames and golden-red sparks of death erupted inside the city and on the city wall, harvesting countless lives. Inside the city,
Arrows and stones flying outside fell into the attacking army in terrifying arcs, splashing blood and flesh. Under the setting sun, the brutal offensive battle was going on in a violent manner.
The sound of killing was loud, and hundreds of ladders were set up on the top of the city. The infantry of the Song army stepped on the ladders to attack and climb up. The fighting crowd had already formed a melee on the top of the city. From time to time, someone fell from that terrifying height.
It fell heavily. But at this time, no one paid attention to this. Both sides were red-eyed in the fight. The Jin soldiers and the Song soldiers attacked each other inch by inch at the top of the city, and blood flowed like a river.
"Too slow! It's almost dark, and we can't even capture the city head!"
Seeing that the flag of Jinbing on the top of the city was crumbling, but it just refused to fall. Marshal Han Shizhong looked at the extremely anxious position on the battlefield, his face was red, and at this time he was as furious as an angry lion. He roared angrily,
Chapter completed!
