Chapter 356 A letter to all compatriots in the Song Dynasty about resisting gold and saving the country
Chapter 356 A letter to all the compatriots of the Song Dynasty about resisting the Jin Dynasty and saving the country
South of the river, Weizhou.
It was July 18th, the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongwang's 10,000 households Wanyangu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Weizhou. The governor of Weizhou, Ma Conglong, and the warden of soldiers and horses, Kang Zifu, heard the news and surrendered.
However, after surrendering, Ma Conglong and Kang Zifu were beheaded by Wan Yangu in public, and 1,500 surrendered soldiers of the Weizhou Xiang army were shot dead by Jin soldiers on Baizhangpo west of Weizhou.
The Jin people didn't even bother to dig a hole afterwards, and directly exposed the bodies of the Song soldiers' surrender at the foot of the wilderness slope.
On July 20th, Wanyangu captured Weizhou, slaughtered thousands of Weizhou people, and led his army to Liyang.
Therefore, when Wang Lin led 50,000 cavalry into Weizhou on the morning of July 27th, what he saw was an extremely tragic scene of hell on earth:
Corpses littered the fields, and their bodies stank for hundreds of miles.
In the hot summer, the rotting or semi-rotted corpses of Song soldiers or Song people can be seen everywhere.
No matter on the official road, in the wilderness or in the village, some mother and child died in one place, some husband and wife died hugging each other, or the whole family did not have the whole body, piled on top of each other, with clumps of flies smelling the wind and smelling bad, it was horrible to see.
Although Wang Lin had been somewhat mentally prepared, when he first encountered such a scene, he was still heartbroken and couldn't bear to see it.
The immersive visual impact is far greater than reading history in my previous life.
This reminded him of the pirates who invaded China a thousand years later and committed heinous crimes on Chinese soil.
Wang Lin also remembered the relevant historical records about the Jin invasion that he had read in his previous life——
"At the beginning, the enemy raided all directions, reaching Yi and Mi in the east, Cao, Pu, Yan, Yun in the west, Chen, Cai, Ru, Ying in the south, and Heshuo in the north. They were all killed by them, killing people like mowing hemp.
The smell can be heard for hundreds of miles, and it is nowhere to be seen in Huaisi."
When these records in history books and the tragic scenes from movies and TV series were so truly displayed in front of Wang Lin, it was even more tragic.
Wang Lin could not describe the anger, violence, sadness and almost endless negative emotions he felt at this moment!
Wuhu chaos in China, the Jingkang disaster, the Mongol invasion, the Manchu invasion of China, the massacre by pirates... Tens of millions of Han people were massacred, and now, he was standing at such a historical node. Wang Lin raised his head and looked up at the sky.
, his eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, the sky is covered with haze.
Since God is unfair and does not bless my compatriots, then it is up to me to poke a hole in this sky!
…
Thousands of Song corpses were gathered in the wilderness west of Weizhou.
The mountain of corpses and sea of blood were covered with a thick layer of straw.
The war was critical, and he did not have time to bury these Song people alive.
To prevent the plague from spreading, he could only burn it with fire.
Wang Lin slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers also bowed down.
Wang Lin slowly raised his head, tears streaming down his face.
The mournful voices of tens of thousands of soldiers behind him were like deep thunder.
Yan Qing handed over a torch, and Wang Lin looked up to the sky and roared, then threw the torch in front of his eyes.
Hundreds of soldiers followed suit, and blazing flames rose into the sky.
The firelight reflected Wang Lin's angry and handsome face with red edges.
Wang Lin turned around, walked towards his mount, and got on his horse.
Wang Lin raised his gentian silver spear high on the horse and used the skill Tiger Roar, which shocked the whole army: "My sons, the Jin people have taken over my land, killed my compatriots, insulted my parents, brothers and sisters, the blood feud is higher than the mountains!"
We, the only option, are to fight to the death to protect our home and country. We would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
"My sons, the Jin people are like tigers, wolves and beasts. They have taken over our Hebei and Henan provinces and slaughtered the people of our Song Dynasty. In this national crisis, we can only sacrifice ourselves to the end. There is absolutely no chance of escape!
The war has begun. There is no distinction between north and south, no age, no age. All the people of the Song Dynasty, no matter who they are, have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they should all be determined to sacrifice everything."
"Today, the heroic souls of the people who died in the Great Song Dynasty are not far away. I, the king, would like to make an alliance with all the troops here to swear an oath to heaven: drive out the golden captives, defend our mountains and rivers, and avenge our country's humiliation until death!"
"Fight the Jin to the death and defend our country!"
"Fight to the death!! Fight to the death!!"
Fifty thousand crouching tiger cavalry roared angrily, creating a majestic and tragic sound in the wilderness, shaking the heaven and the earth.
The gloomy sky was shaken away and a glimmer of light emerged.
…
In the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, on the night of July 27th, Wang Lin, the chief military officer of the Song Dynasty and King of Qi, was in Weizhou wilderness and cremated thousands of dead people.
He also swore an oath with all the armies and publicly issued the "Message to All Compatriots of the Song Dynasty on Resisting the Jin and Saving the Nation", calling on all the diligent kings in the world to fight to the death with the Jin Lu.
That night, Wang Lin led his army to raid Liyang.
The original intention of Wanyan Stock in Liyang was slightly modified.
The captured gold, silver, property, grain and grass were hoarded here, and more than a hundred beauties captured from Wei Prefecture were distributed to the generals. This night became a night of carnival and massacre.
The whole small town of Liyang was full of blood. The wild laughter of the Jin soldiers and the miserable howls of the Song people shook the whole place.
Nearly ten thousand people in Liyang were slaughtered.
Nine out of ten rooms are empty.
Liyang is already an empty city.
At dawn, a murderous cry that shook the world suddenly came from outside Liyang City. Only then did Wanyan get up from the belly of a shivering Song Dynasty woman. Next to her lay two naked female corpses who had been humiliated to death.
Wan Yangu organized his troops to prepare for war, but it was too late.
The Jin soldiers were not good at defending city battles. Suddenly, they saw that Li Yang was surrounded by the Song army's cavalry. Wan Yangu did not hesitate and immediately ordered his troops to mount their horses and leave the city to line up to fight the Song army.
Wang Lin's crotch was illuminated by a lion under the snowy night, holding a silver gentian spear. He stood in front of the battle and said to Yue Fei, Yan Qing, Han Shizhong, Lu Junyi, Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals: "We are the first to bear the brunt. Those who die in battle will be honored, and those who live will steal our lives."
disgrace.
The honor and disgrace attached to one person are less important, but the honor and disgrace attached to the country and the nation are more important; soldiers should wrap their bodies in horse leather and die to serve the country."
The generals bowed in salute: "Swear to the death to serve the country and restore our mountains and rivers!"
"Don't let anyone go, pay blood for blood, and avenge the tragic death of my people of the Song Dynasty! Fight!"
Yue Fei and other generals accepted the order with great enthusiasm and led their troops and horses to gallop out.
The five thousand gold soldiers who rushed out of the city to fight almost instantly fell into a sea of fifty thousand Fuhu cavalry.
Even so, the armies obeyed Wang Lin's military order, and before the official collision battle began, everyone threw poisonous fireballs into the Jin soldiers' formation.
This is a weapon published in "Wu Jing Zong Yao" and has been technically improved by Wang Lin.
The total weight of the smoke ball is more than 1,000 pounds. In addition to gunpowder, it also contains turmeric, croton, wolfsbane, arsenic and other highly toxic substances. The smoke released after being ignited and exploded can cause bleeding in the mouth and nose of a person.
Wang Lin still had some psychological barriers to using such "biochemical weapons" on a large scale, but when faced with the tiger, wolf, and golden soldiers who frequently slaughtered the city, he had long been as stone-hearted.
As a time traveler, he must take advantage of all available human and material resources to minimize his own casualties and maximize his lethality.
The so-called sad soldiers will win, and it is not difficult to judge the outcome of defeating the few with more troops. The Fuhu cavalry, who shared the same hatred of the enemy, united as one and were not afraid of death, and destroyed the five thousand gold cavalry regiment outside Liyang City.
No one among the Jin soldiers surrendered, and no one survived.
When the red sun first rose, Wang Lin ordered the tiger guards to behead all the golden soldiers, and then raised their heads in the wilderness outside Liyang City to watch in the capital and perform a blood sacrifice to the Li Shu of the Song Dynasty who had died.
Later, it was known as the "Great Victory of Liyang" in history.
…
Just when Wang Lin raided Liyang and destroyed Wanyangu's 5,000 troops, the Huazhou Song army, which had persisted for more than ten days, had run out of ammunition and food and was about to break the city.
Jin soldiers all over the mountains and plains rushed over on horseback. Countless Jin soldiers had already attacked the city. Only a few hundred wounded soldiers of the 20,000 Song army remained.
The fierce offensive and defensive battle is still going on, and under the scorching heat, the bloody smell is constantly being evaporated.
Yao Pingzhong swung his sword to kill a Jin soldier. He had been fighting on the top of the city for two days and two nights. He was almost out of gas and his body was covered with blood.
Two golden soldiers came from behind and slashed Yao Pingzhong on the back, breaking his armor.
Yao Pingzhong's eyes widened with anger, he turned around and slashed at Jin Bing's neck with his knife, blood splattered to the sky, while another Jin soldier stabbed Yao Pingzhong's chest and abdomen with a knife, bleeding like a stream!
Yao Pingzhong roared angrily: "Captain Zhang, I'm going to go first!"
Having said that, Yao Pingzhong used his remaining strength to rush forward, tightly trapping the golden soldiers, and rushed to the city wall. In an instant, they both fell to the city wall at the same time and turned into flesh!
Zhang Shuye, who was fighting Jin Bing, didn't look back and said sternly: "Xi Yan, go away, someone will be here soon!"
At this time, the sound of fighting on the city tower gradually died down, and hundreds of remaining soldiers gradually fell under the butcher's knife of the Jin soldiers. Zhang Shuye looked around and saw only a dozen soldiers following him. He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Army, do you regret it?
"
"I'd rather die than regret it!"
Zhang Shuye threw the sword in his hand vigorously, and the sword penetrated the chest and abdomen of the nearest Jin soldier. He lifted up his armor, faced the direction of Tokyo, kowtowed three times in succession, and his face was covered with blood.
Immediately, Zhang Shuye led the last soldiers to rush towards the Jin soldiers, laughed loudly and hugged the Jin soldiers, and jumped off the city head one after another without hesitation!
In the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, on July 28th, in the afternoon, Huazhou.
Huazhou was besieged, and all 20,000 Song troops were killed.
Zhang Shuye, Yao Pingzhong and more than ten generals died for their country!
Later, it was called the "Huazhou Disaster" or the "Huazhou Defense Battle" in history.
…
Although Huazhou was defeated, Wanyan Zongbi was in a bad mood.
In a deadly battle of 20,000 Song troops, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and more than half of Guo Yaoshi's ever-victorious army was lost.
Fire raged in Huazhou City, and the Song Dynasty military flag standing high on the city tower gradually fell down. Most of the Jin soldiers under Wanyan Zongbi rushed into Huazhou with shouts, preparing to take away all the property in the city, but suddenly they heard a voice coming from the direction behind them.
The earth-shaking roar came.
He turned around and looked back. Behind him, the military flags were fluttering like a forest, and yellow dragons were rolling.
Wanyan Zongbi's complexion suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted an order: "Don't enter the city, the entire army is ready for war!"
But it's too late.
The 50,000 gold soldiers actually included Guo Yaoshi's 10,000 victorious troops. Excluding losses, the total after the war was less than 40,000.
During this period, at least half of the troops rushed into Huazhou City to plunder.
In a hurry, Wanyan Zongbi could only mobilize more than 10,000 cavalrymen who had been raiding the formation to get into formation to face the invading enemy.
Wanyan Zongbi's face turned livid. He had already spotted the banners of the Song Dynasty and Qi King flying high in the formation of the incoming army and the flags of the Fuhu Army.
Red big flag, gold embroidered border, tiger descending the mountain pattern.
In Wanyan Zongbi's mind, this should be regarded as the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongbi was extremely surprised and doubtful, shouldn't Wang Lin be conquering Xixia at this moment?
