Chapter 353 Bloody Battle for Lushan (1)
Peace talk?
To destroy the prince's personal army?
These are two proposals that cannot be linked at all.
However, Wanyan Zonghan understood the meaning of Mr. Sun's words.
The Jin army is too passive!
According to the current situation, even if the peace negotiations are successful, there will be a huge price. Not to mention, the Jurchens' rule in Mobei was greatly shaken. Western Liao sent troops, and Mobei was in chaos, and the Jurchens lost both Weizhou and Yingzhou, retreating to Fengshengzhou... There will be turmoil in Mobei, and even the Thirteen Tribes of the collapsed Ridge will have suspicion because of the failure of the Jurchens, and may even be enemies of the Jurchens.
After all, the Thirteen Tribes of the Burning Ridge were ruled by the Great Liao for more than 200 years.
Although there are conflicts and contradictions in the middle, the relationship between the two sides is not too bad in general.
When the Western Liao attacks, the Thirteen Tribes of the Depressed Ridge will inevitably have differences. Once the Western Liao gets the support of the Thirteen Tribes of the Depressed Ridge, the Western Liao dominance in the northern desert will be stabilized. This is by no means the result that the Jurchens want to see.
How to solve this problem?
The answer is very simple!
As long as the Jin army can win a victory and a refreshing victory, all problems will be solved.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty seemed not particularly tough emperors except the Emperor Taizu.
The same is true for Zhao Heng, the current official Zhao family.
If he was a tough emperor, he would not be so eager to negotiate peace with the Jurchens after the Kaifeng victory. Of course, there were other factors here, but the most important thing was that the emperor himself was not tough enough that he could still not control the court after such a victory. Before, Zhao Huan would support Zhong Shizhong because Zhong Shizhong won consecutive victories, which diverted the conflicts between the court. But once the Song army was defeated, Zhao Huan would inevitably change his mind.
So.What is a refreshing victory?
Mr. Sun has given the answer: Eliminate the prince’s personal army!
The prince's personal army won consecutive battles, which greatly boosted the morale of the Song army. Coupled with the unusual origin of the prince's personal army, this army was also legendary from the beginning. As long as the prince's personal army was eliminated, the Song army would inevitably be in chaos.
For the Jurchens, the demise of the prince's personal army can also boost the morale of the Jin soldiers.
After all, since the Battle of Yanshan, the Jin army has suffered too much failure in front of the prince's personal army...
Zijinglingkou, Yinchengfang, Feihu County, and now Pinezikou, Hulukou...
Wanyan Zonghan's eyes lit up, "Sir, please tell me clearly."
Mr. Sun said: "It's actually very simple... Since the eldest son decided to withdraw his troops from Ding'an, Nan'er would not give up.
As long as the Dalangjun releases the wind and spreads the retreat route, it will definitely attract Nan'er to pursue him.
At that time, Dalangjun can use the strategy of escaping the shell and set up an elite army in Zhulu Mountain to wait for the arrival of the prince's personal army. Once the prince's personal army arrives, Dalangjun can start all the troops and capture the prince's personal army in one net. At that time, Nan'er's morale will naturally shake."
Zong Han frowned, "Why are you sure that the prince's personal army is pursuing him?"
Mr. Sun laughed. "Mr. Dalang, who else dares to pursue this Song army in Yanshan Prefecture?
As far as I know, the chief of the prince's personal army commander Yu Yin, who was hostile to me. Who issued the Dark Flower of the Hebei River and Lake Swordsman? I suspect that it was Yu Xiaoyi. Don't forget that the monk Ma who issued the Dark Flower Swordsman is very cooperative with Yu Xiaoyi. If he hadn't sent the Dark Flowersman, he would probably not be able to get rid of it. At this time, how could he easily magnify the Langjun and leave? But Dawang's best be a fake act, so that Yu Yin mistakenly thinks that my Dajin has lost his morale... If he doesn't give him some sweetness, he might not be willing to take the bait with this guy's cunning."
After hearing this, Zong Han nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Sun said this well. It is indeed necessary to eliminate the prince's personal army so that the Song army can feel scared.
Thinking of this, Zong Han stood up and said, "Everything will be based on what the sir said."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Zong Han made up his plan, he immediately began to deploy.
In fact, there was no need for him to make a big fuss. The morale of the Jin army had already been depressed. Hearing that the retreat was about to retreat, the Jin soldiers immediately responded and made the Ding'an County in chaos. At the same time, Zong Han sent an elite soldier to leave Ding'an overnight and headed to the foot of Zhulu Mountain, quietly ambushing. On the third day, the Jin soldiers began to retreat on a large scale. Tens of thousands of troops walked in a hurry, discarding countless weapons and supplies along the way, giving people a feeling of extreme chaos.
December 25th, sunny.
The cold winter is about to pass, and it is also the coldest time in northern North.
Zhulu Mountain is located on the only way for the Jin soldiers to retreat to Fengshengzhou... Wanyan Zonghan climbed a mound and looked south.
In the vast wilderness, Jin soldiers who retreated from time to time passed by in a panic.
Zong Han's face looked very ugly!
Since the Jurchens started between the White Mountains and Black Waters, even though the Liao people invaded several times, the Jurchens have never had such a miserable situation. Wanyan Aguda and the Jurchens defeated the Great Liao and established the current Great Jin.
But now...
Although some of the Jin soldiers' miserable postures were played, most of them were real.
Indeed, the Jurchens' hearts were already in chaos!
In this case, if the prince's personal army cannot be eliminated, it will be possible to retreat to Fengshengzhou, and the situation will not be optimistic.
Thinking of this, Zong Han became more and more anxious.
"Is there any movement of the Song army?"
"Returning to Dalangjun, according to the spies' response, the Song army at Shimen Pass and Juyong Pass did not make much noise..."
"I'm not asking Shimen Pass and Juyong Pass."
"The Song army in Songzikou is also very calm and seems to have no intention of pursuing it."
Zong Han's mood became increasingly uneasy.
He whipped the big tree beside him with a horse whip a few times, then took a while of breathing, and finally calmed down his mind.
"Is there any news on Mr. Sun's side?"
"Return to Dalangjun, Mr. Sun has no news yet..."
Mr. Sun, on the order of Zonghan, went to Sanggan River to publicize. Wanyan Loushi's troops were stationed on the banks of Sanggan River. Zonghan's intention was to Wanyan Loushi block the Song army on the west bank of Sanggan River. Once the battle of Zhulu Mountain began, the Song army would definitely receive the news immediately. Zhong Shizhong would never sit idly by and watch the prince's personal army be eliminated, so he would definitely send reinforcements to rescue him.
Wanyan Loushi's mission is to stop Song army reinforcements in Sanggan River.
As long as Wanyan Loushi could block the Song army for one day, Zong Han would be sure to wipe out the prince's personal army in Zhulu Mountain.
But will Wanyan Lou Shi really obey Zonghan's orders?
He was also a arrogant soldier and powerful general, and he was also a royal family in the Jin Dynasty, and his relationship with Zong Han was not particularly close.
Wanyan Loushi is a very cunning guy. Once the casualties are too heavy, he will inevitably evacuate from the battlefield quickly. Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan asked Mr. Sun to hold his tiger talisman and go to Sanggan River to assist Wanyan Loushi. Nominal assistance is actually surveillance. If Wanyan Loushi refuses to fight to the death, Mr. Sun can rely on Zonghan's secret order to seize military power.
In short, Zong Han now puts his greatest hope on Mr. Sun...
The sky gradually darkened.
The night on Zhulu Mountain is extremely cold.
Zong Han and his troops were ambushing the mountains all day, but they could not see any movement in the Song army, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just when Zong Han couldn't stand it, the horse suddenly came to report: "Da Langjun, Songzikou Song Army, after the nightfall, was frequently mobilized.
The slave discovered that the two horse troops on the flank of Songzikou went out to camp while the night was dark, and their whereabouts were not clear.
In addition, there are also signs of troops being mobilized in the main business of Songzikou. The slave saw with his own eyes that Nan'er's infantry army came out of Songzikou and seemed to be chasing here. Judging from the banner, it should be four or five thousand people, but the action was very slow."
Song Jun finally made some noise?
When Zong Han heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. The heart that was lifted to his throat suddenly fell back into his stomach.
"Take it again!"
"twitter!"
The scout left quickly, and Zong Han was in a great mood.
As long as the Song army responds, they are not afraid that they will not take the bait...
"Tell me the order to keep the children from warmth with strong wine and hide their actions. No one can act without our order."
Zong Han gave the order and the eight thousand gold soldiers under his command took action immediately.
In the night, Zhulu Mountain is vast, like a sleeping giant beast. All the Jin soldiers hid their whereabouts and quietly waited for Zonghan's order.
Time passes by little by little.
Before I knew it, midnight has passed...
In Zhulu Mountain late at night, the weather became colder and colder. Many Jin soldiers hid in the mountains. Although they had strong wine to resist the severe cold, their passive lips turned blue and their hands and feet were a little stiff. However, this was the Jin soldiers who were the most elite soldiers under Zong Han. Although they were so cold that they could not stand it, no one was exposed to hide. The temperature of the white mountain and black water was even lower! These Jurchens used to live in the harsh environment of the white mountain and black water, and had rich experience in resisting the severe cold...
What's more, they also know that the battle tonight will have a great impact.
So everyone was ready to take a 120,000-point spirit and waited for the Song army to arrive.
A horse army roared from a distance like lightning.
The sound of hooves is like thunder, stepping from far to near... In the moonlight, you can see clearly the banner of this horse army, which is the horse army of the Song people.
Zong Han subconsciously held the weapon tightly, but immediately, he resisted the urge to attack and watched the horse army whistle by the foot of Zhulu Mountain. There were about four or five hundred horse army, and it was not the main force of the prince's personal army, and it was not worth taking action.
After a while, another horse army passed by the foot of the mountain.
Zong Han still did not order an attack... About half an hour later, from the north of Zhulu Mountain, there was a sound of whistle and fireworks appearing in the air, which looked extremely eye-catching in the dark night.
Here comes!
Zong Han narrowed his eyes.
I had known for a long time that these two horse troops were vanguards... Nan'er was indeed cunning.
Zong Han moved his somewhat stiff fingers and held the big gun in his hand tightly. After a while, the sound of footsteps came from a distance.
The main force of the Song army finally appeared. Judging from that banner, it was the prince's personal army! (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
