Chapter 834 0829 [Emperor Zhu can drink a bucket of mare’s milk]
The Jurchen general who was driven away by thousands of prairie cavalry was called Pu Chaowulun.
At first, he served as a bodyguard for Aguda and was a member of the Hezha Mengan. After Aguda died of illness, Pu Chaolun began to lead the army alone. He had hundreds of Jurchen soldiers under his command, and could command three thousand troops in war (recruited militia).
Ten years have passed, although Pu Chao'un's military position is getting bigger and bigger, the number of Jurchen soldiers in his hands is getting smaller and smaller.
There is no way to make up for it!
If you really want to replenish Jurchen soldiers, you can only recruit child soldiers like Wanyan Zongfu did.
Pucha Onlun is now escaping with more than a hundred Jurchen warriors. Among these more than a hundred Jurchen soldiers, there are even ancient tribesmen from the Southern Tang Dynasty from Huanglong Mansion.
Just because more than a hundred years ago, the ancestors of these tribes were Jurchens.
Although they have been Khitanized for a long time, due to the severe shortage of Jurchen population, they were still regarded as Jurchens by the Jin Kingdom in the past two years. Their social status was improved, and they were also classified as Meng'an Mouke.
Pu Cha'un was galloping all the way with his troops. He wanted to inform Wanyan Mouyan that all the prairie cavalry under his command had rebelled!
Suddenly, a wave of soldiers and horses was faintly seen ahead.
Pu Chao was confused about the enemy and us, so he sent his own soldiers to ask: "Which unit are you from?"
Han Chang also rode forward and took a closer look at the equipment of the soldier. After confirming that it was a Jurchen knight, Han Chang avoided the other party's questions and said in panic: "The Ming army didn't know where it came from and burned all our rations."
Got it!"
The soldier was shocked and hurried back to tell Pu Chao Lun.
When Pu Chaoulun heard the news, he hurried forward and asked: "Is the army ration really gone? This is not far from the ration station. Why didn't I see the fire?"
When Han Chang heard the sound, he turned around and ran away. He met someone he knew. Moreover, the other party was fully armed, but he was dressed as a herdsman and didn't even have any decent armor.
Pu Chaoulun shouted: "Come back quickly and tell me the details over there!"
Han Chang heard this and ran faster, shouting as he ran away: "The Ming army is coming to kill, and the army rations have been burned!"
Pu Chao shouted angrily: "It must be the Ming army's careful operation. Don't believe his rumors. Draw your bow and shoot him to death!"
This group of Jurchen soldiers fired arrows one after another, and Han Chang lay on his horse and ran wildly. Several of his men behind him were hit by arrows, and two of them even fell off their horses.
An arrow came, hitting Han Chang's back shoulder. He was in pain and quickly ran away.
Yue Fei has already led his army to charge over. His troops are all Ming Dynasty cavalry, with a total of more than 1,600 people. There are also more than 300 prairie cavalry who were captured on the way.
Yue Fei personally led his troops to charge from the front. His general Xu Qing circled the enemy's left wing, and Li Yanxian's general Luo Ruming circled the enemy's right wing. The more than 300 prairie cavalry circled the enemy's rear from a distance, mainly to provide moral support.
and entangle and defeat the enemy.
More than 1,600 Ming cavalry, plus more than 300 prairie cavalry, surrounded and killed only more than 100 Jurchen cavalry!
Yue Fei shot an arrow forward, immediately mounted his horse and accelerated the charge.
There was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. During the battle, several of them fought one by one. Yue Fei rushed up and provoked the two of them. Then when he heard Pu Chao'ulun giving the order to break out, he immediately galloped towards Pu Chao'ulun.
On the way, several soldiers fought tooth and nail to stop Yue Fei.
Pu Chao Lun fled to the left with the remaining soldiers, and bumped into Xu Qing who was leading the troops to flank him. Xu Qing's martial arts skills were not as good as those of the enemy generals, but he had many soldiers under his command, so he directly surrounded Pu Cha On Lun.
You stab him, I sweep him away. It's hard for Pu Chao to resist, and all the soldiers around him will soon die.
In the end, Xu Qing used his gun to knock Pu Chaulun off his horse and asked his soldiers to capture him alive.
There were also sporadic Jurchen cavalry who fled towards the rear. More than three hundred prairie cavalry fired arrows to harass them. Luo Ruming led his troops to catch up and wipe out all the Jurchen remnants.
Wang Gui rushed to Xu Qing's side and said enviously: "You are lucky enough to have caught an enemy general."
Yue Fei asked someone to simply bandage Han Chang's arrow wound and said, "Come and interrogate the prisoners and ask them why they sent troops here in the middle of the night."
Han Chang came to Pu Cha's side and said with a smile: "General Pu Cha, we meet again."
Pu Chaoulun asked: "Who are you?"
After hearing this, Han Chang was furious.
He prides himself on being the number one person, and the Han soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting. Even Wanyan Zonghan is very polite to him. However, he did not expect that he and Pu Chaoulun had met many times, but the other party had already forgotten him.
Han Chang put away his smile: "Why did you send troops here in the middle of the night?"
Pu Chao said nothing.
"You won't tell me, right?" Han Chang shouted, "Bring all the Jurchen soldiers who are still alive and watch over here!"
Soon, more than ten Jurchen prisoners were stripped of their armor and brought here.
Han Chang asked someone to hold Pu Cha'un's right hand, and he drew his sword and put it close to his thumb: "Do you want to say it or not?"
Pu Chaowun closed his eyes.
"Are you going to tell me?" Han Chang cut it off with a knife.
Pu Chaoulun, whose right thumb was cut off, was so painful that his facial muscles were twisted, and he struggled and roared: "If you are a warrior, give me a good time!"
Han Chang cut it off again: "Say it or not?"
One knife after another, all ten fingers of Pu Chaolun's hands were cut off. Finally, he fainted from the pain.
Han Chang turned around and asked the prisoners: "Who wants to try?"
The prisoners' faces turned pale with fear.
Han Chang pointed at someone casually, walked over with his sword in hand and asked, "Why did you send troops here in the middle of the night?"
The selected prisoner actually shouted to Yue Fei in Chinese: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life! I am not a Jurchen, I come from the ancient Southern Tang Dynasty in Huanglong Mansion. It has only been four years since I was classified as Meng'an, and I have never been a Jurchen before."
Counting Jurchens, I have only fought against the grassland tribes and Huangtou Shiwei, and also suppressed the Yunzhong (Datong) rebellion. I have never killed the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yue Fei said: "The Han people in the clouds are also Han people."
Han Chang scolded: "Answer honestly, or I will chop off your fingers!"
The captive bamboo tube said like he was pouring beans: "I was sleeping tonight when the camp suddenly became chaotic. It was said that the Ming army had captured the city in the rear. The prairie cavalry became restless and wanted to flee back to their respective tribes. We were ordered to intercept them.
Suddenly those people took action and said that they had defected to the Ming Dynasty. There were too many of them and it was too dark to fight at night, so the general led us to break through."
Yue Fei personally inquired about the specific situation, including the number of defenders at the main grain station.
But these guys didn't know anything about it. They only knew that the general guarding the food and grass was Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan lived together.
Yue Fei said: "Kill them all. It is not convenient to take prisoners when we go out to fight."
The prisoners panicked and begged for mercy, but were quickly killed.
After killing the Jurchen soldiers and capturing the armor, Yue Fei asked Han Chang and Qingqi to put it on.
Then he called over the more than 300 prairie cavalry, pointed to the remaining armor on the ground and said, "I'll lend it to you first. If you can perform some meritorious service tonight, I'll reward you all."
The prairie cavalry were overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed one after another, and then went to receive their equipment.
Han Chang asked: "General, what's the next fight?"
Yue Fei said: "Go straight to the enemy camp, create chaos, and wait for reinforcements."
After saying this, Yue Fei ordered the entire army to mount their horses and accelerate towards the enemy camp where supplies were being hoarded.
Encountering some fleeing prairie cavalry along the way, Yue Fei sent the troops he had just surrendered to continue recruiting surrender.
"Don't run away, I'm from the Savin tribe. Which tribe are you from?"
"Let's go quickly, the Ming army is coming to kill us!"
"We have surrendered to the Ming army, and we have also received excellent soldiers and armor. If you don't believe me, come and see."
"Can you be rewarded with iron armor if you surrender to the Ming army?"
"Killing the Jurchen is just a meritorious service. I just fired a few arrows and got a pair of iron armor."
"Are all the Ming army cavalry over there?"
"They are all. There are ten thousand more cavalry behind, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has personally led his troops."
"Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very brave. He could eat half a sheep in one meal, drink a bucket of mare's milk. He could knock down a galloping horse with one hand, and he could shoot through five sets of iron armor with an arrow..."
This is no longer like fighting to persuade people to surrender, but more like engaging in pyramid schemes.
The grassland cavalry who had surrendered were all scattered by Yue Fei and ran back to intercept the grassland tribesmen who were fleeing one after another.
One word spread to ten, and ten spread to hundreds, and the content of the persuasion to surrender became increasingly outrageous.
Some people even say that the Ming Emperor personally led an army of 200,000 to capture Linhuang Mansion.
There were only two thousand Jurchen elites guarding the grain. According to Wanyan Zonghan's idea, these troops were more than enough. Because the area of more than a hundred miles was covered by the prairie cavalry he sent out, the Ming army could find them as long as they came to kill them from a long distance away.
The more Ming troops came, the better. Wanyan Zonghan immediately returned for reinforcements after receiving the news.
Even if the Ming army arranged a car formation, Wanyan Zonghan could still trap the Ming army in the wild and starve to death!
"Hurry up and inform the marshal that we can no longer suppress the situation." Wanyan Mouyan said.
Wanyan Hezhu said: "I have already sent someone to deliver the message. It will be much faster if you blow the trumpet all the way."
Suddenly, a cavalryman came running to report: "Many prairie cavalrymen who had fled have come back for some reason, and we are arranging for them to return to their respective camps."
Wanyan Mouyan asked: "Can you confirm your identity?"
The cavalryman who reported the news said: "They all escaped from the camp, and their identities are confirmed."
Wanyan was shocked and said: "They have already escaped, how can they come back on their own? They are not allowed to enter the camp. They are all resting two miles away from the camp!"
"Woooooooo~~~~"
The bugle sounded suddenly, Wanyan looked for help, and Wanyan lived together and hurriedly rode to check.
Several cavalrymen rushed over: "Some people attacked the granary and held torches to burn the grain. They have been defeated by my Jurchen warriors!"
"kill!"
Suddenly there was a cry of killing from the side, and the light of fire was faintly visible.
However, the prairie cavalry could not burn food, so they simply set fire to military tents and other flammable objects.
"Boom!"
The rumble of horse hoofbeats came from the north, and Yue Fei led his army straight towards the enemy camp.
Wanyan lived together and anxiously ordered: "Blow the trumpet and gather troops, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The elite Jurchens were summoned urgently and hurriedly rode over to form a team.
However, the number of Jurchen soldiers was too small, and most of them were taken by Wanyan Zonghan to fight Li Yanxian.
If the remaining Jurchen soldiers are barely enough to guard the granary, once they gather to fight Yue Fei, how can anyone still be left to guard the granary?
There are a lot of prairie cavalry, but there are countless spies who have surrendered among them!
Before Wanyan planned to move in and gathered troops together, there was a commotion in the direction of the granary, and someone took the opportunity to set fire to the granary.
Then, from all over the military camp, there were prairie cavalry shouting: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is coming to kill, and an army of 300,000 is in the north! We have come to the Ming Dynasty, let's kill the Jurchens together and make a meritorious service!"
The entire Jin camp was even more chaotic.
Some tribes defected on the spot, and some fled quickly. Others took the opportunity to grab food and pack horses before leaving.
