Section 29 Going up the mountain

The fierce fighting echoed in the valley, Shi Jin's eyes swollen and bloodshot corners were covered with blood.

As soon as Jie Qian's army left Nanguan, they were ambushed by the Jurchens. The entire army fought and retreated, and was forced to the edge of the deep ditch. Jie Qian was lined up with the deep ditch. He wanted to learn from Han Xin to fight against the water, but he never thought that the Song army would rather jump into the ditch than face the Jin soldiers head-on.

Nearly 100,000 troops collapsed. Wang Jin is worthy of being the coach of the Imperial Guard. He made a quick decision and let Shi Jin take the lead and break the back himself, leading the full commander to rush towards the opposite direction of the Jin soldiers.

First, the Jin soldiers did not expect the Song army to dare to hedge against them, second, they were busy attacking the Song army commander Jie Qian, third, Wang Jin and Shi Jin were both skilled in martial arts. Now, they actually rushed out with command and rushed out to approach 300 people.

Although they rushed out, the Tartars did not let them go completely, and a single Mouke chased after him...

The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, and groups of ragged soldiers on the mountain road seemed to be participating in a marathon, running to the west with all their might.

These soldiers wearing single clothes and trousers and carrying hats looked panicked. Some were holding big swords in their hands, some carried long spears, and more were running desperately with bare hands. To prove their status as soldiers, they could only look at the big red jacket they were wearing. If there was no military jacket, these people would be no different from a group of refugees who were fleeing.

We have to run away. Nearly a hundred Tartar soldiers were blocked by Wang Jin and Shi Jin. Who knows how long it will last? If we don’t run away, we will never have to watch this world of flowers again.

After being caught up by more than a hundred Jurchen soldiers in the morning, under the leadership of the commander Wang Jin, although he wanted to rely on a large number of people and powerful forces to rush forward to annihilate the "small" Jin soldiers, he really started fighting. Only then did Wang Jin realize how big a gap there was between the Song army and the Jin army.

After several rounds of battles, Wang Jin's subordinates had lost most of their troops, leaving only about two hundred people. Although the Tartars' troops were half less than them, the Tartars were a fully established Mouke. As more than thirty war horses rushed up, except for Wang Jin and Shi Jin and others, they were commanding the Wolf Running and Pig Crash. Although Wang Jin was good at martial arts and used a spear to pull four or five Tartars off their horses, they couldn't resist the Tartars. He and Shi Jin covered each other and grabbed two horses, and then escaped. After another round, they found the lost Song army back. Now there were only one hundred people under their command. I don't know if they were lost or killed by the Tartars.

In this way, a group of people fled westward and went up Gushe Mountain.

On a moonless night, the sky was full of stars dotted in the dark night sky, blinking gently. The mountain wind was passing through the towering mountains, making a low whimpering sound, which made people feel a little chilling. Several bonfires were lit in the valley, and each bonfire was surrounded by more than a dozen ragged young people. The temperature had dropped below zero. Although the front chest was on fire, the back was cold and the young people were trembling.

"Brother Fu made a good steel fork, and he was the head of the army. How about he made the fourth seat in the parable?"

Fu Ci stood up and refused: "I am new to you. How dare I be ahead of Chen and Yang brothers."

"Brother Fu, there is no need to refuse." Shi Jin stood up, "Kill three Tartars by one person, Chen Da and Yang Chun, who can do it?"

Yang Chun followed suit and responded to a few words, Chen Da snorted and turned his head to the side.

Chen Da was not commanded by Wang Jin. He was originally a bandit in Huayin County. When Jie Qian led Yongxing Army to rescue the emperor, he recruited a group of bandits, and Chen Da was among them. Because Chen Da was good at marching in the mountains, he was known as the Jumping Tiger, and was regarded as a personal soldier by Jie Qian and was responsible for exploring the way for the head coach. During the Battle of Nanguan, Chen Da saw that the momentum was not good, abandoned the head coach Jie Qian and killed with Wang Jin and others.

Wang Jin ignored Chen Da, and Fu Ci's seat was decided like this.

After agreeing on the seats, Wang Jin said, "I heard that Zhang's envoy gathered the army in Fenzhou and packed it tomorrow, so I will join the army."

Hearing this, Shi Jin showed joy, Fu Ci refused to say anything, Chen Da and Yang Chun looked at each other.

Under the city of Longde, there was a Jin army and the Jin army and the national prime minister Wanyan Nianhan, the leader of the Qishui division, Wanyan Loushi, the national sect master Wanyan Xiyin sat upright, and watched coldly as the generals under his command requested the battle, and would definitely climb to the top of Longde's city tomorrow.

On November 10, the Jin soldiers besieged Longde for nearly a month, but the Longde City was still unable to be defeated. Although the Jin soldiers plundered Zezhou, Jiangzhou and other places and obtained some money and food, they could not support the 160,000 army to trap the city of Longde. More importantly, I heard that Wanyan Olibu, Wanyan Eliguo, Wanyan Wushu and others had led the Jin army to conquer Zhending, and were about to conquer Daming, cross the Yellow River, and head straight to Bianliang. The Eastern Army is the direct descendants of Wanyan Aguda, while the Western Road is a major alliance of various Jurchen tribes. If Aguda's one-segment has more Bianliang, can we still leave a mouthful of soup for the Western Road divisions?

Therefore, the unanimous agreement between Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiyin was to leave Wanyan Yinshu to guard Hedong and continue to siege Longde, while the main force of the Western Route Army took Huaizhou to cross the Yellow River, and strive to arrive in Bianliang as soon as possible than the Eastern Route Army.

But the Jurchen Western Route Army was a hodgepodge of various tribes. Although Wanyan Nianhan thought that Longde was like a useless rib and it was a pity to abandon it, the leaders of the tribes under his command did not think so. In the eyes of these savages outside the pass, a wealthy city like Longde would certainly have to steal the ruins before he could finish his rest. So when Wanyan Loushi said he was leaving, Nianhan jumped out first, saying that he would climb the city tomorrow, and Loushi was not willing to be outdone, and he also stood up to grab the merits.

"Enough!" Nianhan couldn't help it and shouted loudly, "You are so unsuccessful. You don't want to leave Bianliang. You want to compete with the land encirclement of Longde. Olu, I will order you as the vanguard, and set sail tomorrow to take Huaizhou and open up the road to cross the river for us."

After the military order was issued, the generals of the Jin soldiers obeyed the orders and stopped talking.

"Gu Nan, after the army leaves, you should lead the headquarters to stay in the camp. When Yin Shu can come from Taiyuan, you can set off again. Don't leave early. Be careful of the Song army's sneak attacks and let King Zhang Que escape."

After arranging the vanguard and the defender, Nianhan said to a Han official kneeling below: "Premier Gao, after the army heads south, I'll beg you to lead the way for the Jin soldiers."

The kneeling Han official was Gao Shiyou, the governor of Zezhou. After he surrendered to Jin, Nianhan led him as a counselor.

Gao Shiyou nodded like a pecking rice: "Zhao Song lost his virtue, and I hope the Jin soldiers will save the people from water and fire."

Most of the Jin soldiers conquered Huaizhou on November 13, and then turned east and marched towards the three cities of Heyang. After Wanyan Yinshuke sent a general to defend Taiyuan, he led 20,000 Jin soldiers and replaced Nianhan to continue to siege Longde.

"The Jin soldiers still want to follow the story of Taiyuan!" When the Xihe visitor Zhang Hao heard the news, he asserted. His father, Zhang Xiaochun, was surrounded in Taiyuan when the Jin soldiers first went south. He was surrounded for nine months. In the end, Taiyuan was captured by the Jin soldiers and Zhang Xiaochun was captured.

Hu Yangeng had already met with Zhang Hao and had contacted Xuan Zan of Yuanqu. Zhang Hao's current command of the Song army has reached 40,000, divided into ten wings, and its troops are roughly equivalent to Wanyan Yinshu. Zhang Hao ordered Hu Yangeng with confidence: "Shukang, let you lead the troops straight to Longde to rescue Zhang Anfu and Wang Jieshuai."

Hu Yangeng also wanted to rescue Zhang Que and Wang Bing as soon as possible, but Zhang Hao's order made Hu Yangeng unable to advance or retreat.

Hu Yangeng had 28,000 people in Fenzhou, and Xuanzan had 15,000 people in Yuanqu. After Zhang Hao established the Dingshou Banner in Fenzhou, bandits and powerful men continued to join him, and their total strength might have exceeded Wanyan Yinshuke. However, most of Hu Yangeng's commands were defeated troops who rescued Taiyuan three times, and they had already been scared by the Jin soldiers. Now they gathered together, and there was neither reorganization nor training, just a group of mobs. If they directly gathered the army to rescue Longde, they could be said to have entered the tiger's mouth.

But what if he doesn't listen to Zhang Hao's orders? Hu Yangeng's original official is just a Xiuwulang, and the commander of the military commander was given by Zhang Hao. Now Wang Bing and Zhang Que are surrounded, and they rely entirely on Zhang Hao, the Xihe investigation, to use this big banner as a tiger skin. If he refutes Zhang Hao's order and exposes the tiger skin himself, how can he order the entire army?

Although he complained that Zhang Hao was not at all military, he gave this order, Hu Yangeng took a step forward and shouted loudly: "I have the order."

After taking Zhang Hao's command, Hu Yangeng went to the camp outside Fenzhou City to summon all the generals. Hu Yangeng included the Song army in Fenzhou into the Shengjie Army organization, and divided it into six cavalry front, back, left and right. Bu Lu Guleping led more than 3,000 cavalry wings, Pu Liu Ru Bosheng led the middle wings. Guan Liyuan, Xiong Dabai, Luda, and Yang Kefa each led one wing. Hao Siwen led another 1,000 people as the vanguard of the army. These generals were the commander a few months ago, and the lower ones were just the commander. Now they suppressed the entire army entirely by their own courage and strength, so as not to cause chaos.

The army first marched south, passed back to Niuling, and arrived in Huo County. Xuanzan led 15,000 people to wait here, and remanded a group of food, grass, clothes and armor. The way was stable and he did not encounter Jin soldiers. He restored Pingyang along the way. Pingyang was first plundered by Liu Rui's troops, and then plundered by Lou Shi. It has become a abandoned city. There are not many complete houses in the city, and dead bodies are everywhere. The ragged people sat beside the corpses, looking at everything around them. With some strength, they looked for wild rats in the ruins to satisfy their hunger.

Hu Yangeng and Xuanzan's troops met in Huo County. Zhang Hao led the guards and arrived that night to summon the generals to discuss military affairs. Hu Yangeng said: "Wanyan Yinshuke, Jin thieves, our army gathered here, Yinshuke must have known this little boy."

Hu Yangeng intentionally stopped talking and saw Zhang Hao's reaction. Zhang Hao looked mysterious and said, "Speak."

Hu Yangeng continued: "The silver technique must be like being in Taiyuan, and it will be around the center and help."

"Attack the support?"

Hu Yangeng explained what it means to surround the points and attack reinforcements, that is, to surround Lund, attract all the reinforcements, and then ambush the reinforcements on the road.

Zhang Hao said: "I heard that Yin Shu has only more than 40,000 troops under his command. There are soldiers left behind in Taiyuan who have to surround Longde. How can I ambush us with troops?"

Hu Yangeng said: "Xiaozhong was in the middle of Yuci, and the Jin soldiers seemed to be less than 50,000."

When Zhang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Hu Yangeng said: "There are several dangerous places to go to Longde. You have to cross Qinshui. Just be careful when you are going to these places."

Zhang Hao was overjoyed: "Then I will entrust all to the governor of the capital. I will wait for good news in Huo County."
