The flags of Hou Jin's vanguard cavalry were flying all over Jinyang County. Heishui Mohe's cavalry were galloping back and forth in Jinyang County, roaring strangely and waving their scimitars in an attempt to show off their military might. The people in the county were in panic.
There will be no peace all day long.
If the city of Jinyang is defeated, then the Great Zhou Dynasty will never have a chance to make a comeback in the north.
Thirty years ago, after being driven out of the Central Plains by the armies led by King Zhongshan and King Qiyang under Emperor Taizu Gao, Hou Jin Mohe's horse hooves had never crossed the Leichi.
Whether it was Zhao Wang Zhu Kai who guarded Yancheng, or the later Liang Guogong Hu Yu and his successors, including Zhao Xuanli, the commander of the Longwu Army who was ambushed by Monk Wanyan Chen at Yao'er Ridge, before the defeat of Tumubao, they suppressed Jiannu and fought.
.
Finally, they waited for an unprecedented opportunity.
Thirty years later, Hou Jin's iron hoof finally set foot on the territory of Jinyang County again.
The soldiers of Hou Jin believed that in the near future, they would go south to China and become the true masters of this fertile land, just like they did in the past.
The Zhou people would not be so lucky this time, and there would not be another Emperor Taizu Gao who would stand up!
There were 50,000 people in Houjin's vanguard, all under the command of Nur Haqi.
Originally, the strongest offensive was the Zhongxiao Army under Monk Wanyan Chen. This elite army could defeat the Yuanmeng cavalry head-on in cavalry battles. Without the obstruction of the main army of the Zhou Dynasty, they attacked the city and captured the territory without any disadvantages. The local garrison,
They are not their combined enemies at all.
Such a rapid offensive naturally aroused dissatisfaction from Nur Haqi. He originally wanted to establish his absolute authority in Houjin through this battle southward.
Although the Jianzhou Palace Incident allowed Nur Haq to gain the highest power in Jianzhou Mohe, not everyone was convinced by Nur Haq.
Nurhaqi's Eight Banners tribe is actually not orthodox to the Jurchen lineage.
The Jurchen unified line was called Yilou from the Pre-Han Dynasty to the Pre-Jin Dynasty, and it is called Heishui Mohe from the Pre-Tang Dynasty to the present.
Taizu of the Liao Dynasty said, "If the Jurchen army reaches tens of thousands, they will be invincible." This is what he meant, and it has nothing to do with the Eight Banners.
In the Battle of Hunhe on Blue Star, whether it was the Baigan soldiers of the Sichuan Army or the Qi Army of the Zhejiang Army, they were isolated and helpless and faced with many internal conflicts, defeating the Eight Banners soldiers who had superior strength.
Of course, one cannot deny the fighting power of the Eight Banners Army under Nurha Chi. They make a living by fishing and hunting, and are physically strong, so their fighting power is naturally not weak.
However, the lineage established by Wanyan Aguda is the orthodox branch of the Houjin branch, which is recognized by all the tribes in Jianzhou.
The Eight Banners tribe of Nurhaqi is just the tribes of Gu Stone who went south. Although they are also called Jurchens, they can only be regarded as side branches.
Although Nur Haqi was granted the title of King for his military exploits against Goryeo, he was not recognized by the Jurchen Wanyan lineage and even most of the later Jin ministers.
Among Houjin who valued bloodline, as Nur Haqi, if he wanted to usurp the throne of Sima, he must have absolute prestige and unparalleled military power.
But now he has neither.
In terms of blood status, there are veterans in the royal family who can rival him.
In terms of military power, Monk Wanyan Chen is even above him.
At this moment, Nur Haqia's biggest reliance was the little emperor in his hands and the political support given to him by Gongziyu's secret agent in Houjin.
If Gong Ziyu turns against him, he has no confidence that he will be able to control Houjin's political situation.
In order to gain more military power, Nurhaq organized Monk Wanyan Chen's offensive and let his cronies serve as vanguards.
The leader of the 50,000 Houjin Pioneer is named Turtle Bai. He is a warrior under Nurha Chi. He has practiced martial arts and has extremely high attainments. He is the commander of the Xianghuang Banner among the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners under Nur Ha Chi.
This flag is named after its color is yellow with a red border. The bordered yellow flag is the first of the three flags. There is no king in the flag. The soldiers and horses under Nurhaqi's command are considered his personal guards.
The 50,000 elite troops of Bietbai are also one of Nurhaqi's elites. They are composed of elite cavalry with yellow flags as the core and mixed with other cavalry. Their combat power is so strong that they have few rivals in Jianzhou.
When Turtle Bai's 50,000 cavalry troops were fifty miles away from Jinyang City, Zhou Dynasty's scouts had already reported back.
"Report! The Hou Jin army with Huang Banner has approached the east of Jinyang City. The number should be more than 30,000. It is currently resting fifty miles away. According to the eating habits of the Mohe tribe during the war, it is expected to resist Jinyang City in an hour.
.”
"I understand, the scouts need to always pay attention to the status of Houjin's vanguard troops."
Yu Yanyi, who was on top of the city tower at the east main gate, after giving his instructions, quietly looked at the sand table in front of him and murmured to himself, "It's finally here! Just use the blood of the pioneers who built the slaves to encourage me first."
Improve the morale of the army!"
"Command the army to leave the city and form an array!"
Yu Yanyi wanted to take advantage of the fact that Hou Jin's main force had not arrived yet and strike preemptively.
In order to fight this battle, Yu Yanyi mobilized 8,000 troops from the Shenwu Army to the east main gate. Since he wanted to fight, he had to use the sharpest spears.
Then the defeated troops of Yulin Army and Longwu Army were also transferred to the east main gate, but instead of being placed outside the city, they guarded the city gate.
Yu Yanyi wanted to defeat Hou Jin's vanguard from the front with his own hands in front of these defeated soldiers, so that these soldiers who were scared out of their wits in Tumu Fort knew that building slaves was nothing.
Slowly putting on his helmet, Yu Yanyi, who had been wearing a scholar's robe and a scholar's hat, changed into a military uniform, rode a curly green mane horse, and walked out of the east main gate.
At this moment, Yu Yanyi was wearing a pair of ancient Mingguang armor, leaping out of the city and standing in the army formation.
Behind him, the east main door slowly closed.
All the generals outside the city looked at the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian and the Minister of War in amazement.
The most powerful civil servant in the Zhou Dynasty really has no intention of returning alive.
"Every soldier who defends the city will kill the enemy bravely. Once the battle begins, it will be a fight to the death!
On the verge of battle, those who retreat first regardless of the army will be killed immediately!
When approaching battle, the army will not care who retreats first, and the rear team will kill the front team!
Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!"
Yu Yanyi rode his horse in the military formation, and his majestic and deep voice reached the ears of the soldiers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the famous military battle continuous sitting method, and most famous generals have adopted this method since then.
Hearing these murderous words, the generals around Yu Yanyi once again refreshed their understanding of this cabinet bachelor.
Just a month ago, he was still a scholar who had never commanded actual combat, and he was still an elegant and easy-going civil servant, who always maintained a calm and calm expression on his face.
On the cruel battlefield, the weak cannot survive. Only the strongest and most resolute can survive. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!
Facing the gazes of the officers and men, Yu Yanyi expressed his thoughts categorically in one sentence:
"What's the use of talking about loyalty all day long? Now is the time to show loyalty! Serve the country, kill the enemy, and never give up!"
At this moment, Yu Yanyi was no longer just the highest military officer in Jinyang. To the generals and soldiers in front of the Dongzheng Gate, this slightly frail figure represented courage and the belief in victory.
A handsome man has a will to die, but a scholar has no desire to live!
Let the blood of Jiannu reignite the morale of the Zhou soldiers!
--------------------------
"What did you say?!"
Having just finished their meal, Turtle Bai, who was approaching Jinyang City with his army and only ten miles away, was looking at the scouts reporting in disbelief.
Just now, his scouts came to report that the Zhou people were arrayed at the east main gate!
That’s why Turtle Bai now looks like he’s seen a ghost!
Cromoli, the captain of ten thousand men on the side, was also in disbelief and said: "How dare these Zhou dogs?! Even their defeated soldiers dare to fight with us in the field?!"
Although Turtle Bai looks rough, he is not a reckless person. After thinking carefully, he asked, "Who is the leader!?"
The scouts are in a bit of a dilemma. They are scouts and not suicide squads. Who knows who is the commander?!
"I don't know who the general is, but judging from the flags, the flag of the Chinese army is marked with the word 'Yu'!"
Biet Bai knew who his opponent was. At this moment, in Jinyang City, there was only one general with the surname Yu who was qualified to use the Chinese army's banner - Yu Yanyi, the great scholar of Wuyingdian and the general of the Fuguo.
This made Turtle Bai's mind suddenly come alive.
Nur Haqa's original order was for Turtle Bai to arrive first and clear the surrounding area of the city to maintain a clean environment for the subsequent advance of the army.
At the same time, he also specifically warned him not to attack the city easily with the Zhou army.
Once the vanguard force of Turtle Bai was defeated at the gates of Jinyang City, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the subsequent siege.
The man who looked like a scribe on the side said, "This is a great opportunity for turtles to pay homage to the general and make meritorious deeds!"
This man's name was Kong Youde, and he was from Qufu in Qizhou. He was a descendant of Shenggong Kong's family, and was sent by his clan to serve in Nurha's area.
This is the routine operation of Yanshenggong's lineage. Once the world changes, they will invest separately.
No matter who is in charge of the world, he cannot be from the lineage of Confucius.
Naturally, Nurhaqi was extremely happy to receive the allegiance of the descendants of Duke Yan Shenggong. Seeing that Kong Youde was talented, he sent him to Bietai's side as his military advisor.
Turtle Bai was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked for advice.
"Please ask Mr. Kong to teach me!"
Kong Youde shook his feather fan and said, "Master Turtle Bai, does he know who this Yu Yanyi is?"
"Of course I know. This person is a scholar from the Wuying Palace of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty and Minister of the Ministry of War. He is rumored to be a great talent!"
Kong Youde nodded, "Yes, this man does have great talents, but he only has political talents and has never led an army. He is just a Zhao Kuo who talks about military affairs on paper!"
"This man is now the highest military commander in Jinyang and even in this great Zhou Dynasty. It is unwise to put himself in danger. But it is a God-given opportunity for us. If the general can capture or kill him alive, then Jinyang
The Zhou army in the city will collapse immediately. This is a great achievement, and it is not a problem to be crowned a king and given a title!"
"To say the least, even if he is allowed to escape, it will greatly dampen Zhou's morale."
Turtle Bai nodded repeatedly after listening to Kong Youde's words.
"But before leaving, the prince once told me not to attack the city without authorization. If I send troops to fight, wouldn't it be against the king's order?!"
"Hahaha!" Kong Youde laughed and said, "That's wrong, that's wrong! Your Majesty only said that the general cannot attack the city without authorization, but he did not say that the general cannot fight with the enemy! Now the Zhou army is arrayed outside Jinyang City.
.This is a great opportunity to defeat the enemy. The general is just fighting in the field with the Zhou army. He has not attacked the city, so it does not violate the prince's order!"
"Besides, on the battlefield, the fighter planes are fleeting, and you will be outside, and your life will be compromised!"
Kong Youde's words provided a solid theoretical basis for Biejiao, and at the same time opened the door to his ambition.
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!
He wants to create a king for himself!
"March!"
The 50,000-strong army marched toward the east main gate!
However, Bietbai was also a veteran on the battlefield and would not attack rashly. He understood that the Zhou army must be prepared if they dared to go out of the city to fight in the field, so he sent out multiple scouts to detect the situation and stop the attack immediately if there was any fraud.
The scouts responsible for exploring the route set off, but the situation seemed to be inconsistent with their previous psychological expectations. Before they reached the east main gate, the scouts spotted a small group of Zhou army cavalry.
However, this group of cavalry was not well-organized and poorly equipped.
The scout followed along and saw several small groups of cavalry, all like this.
So they immediately paid tribute to the turtle.
After hearing this military information, Bieyai came to his conclusion: The Zhou army was not fully prepared for a frontal battle, so it should take advantage of its unstable position to defeat the enemy and capture him alive in Yanyi!
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
The army moved out, the cavalry galloped to take the lead, smoke and dust were everywhere, and they headed towards the east main gate.
After a while, Turtle Bai saw the orderly appearance of the Zhou army, which was different from his previous prediction that the position was not stable.
But Turtle Bai was not in the mood to think too much. Judging from the formation, the Zhou army in front of the Dongzheng Gate numbered more than 30,000 people, and they were mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry.
Turtle Bai still firmly holds the advantage in terms of military strength.
Regardless of whether this was a trick by the Zhou army or whether the Zhou army had completed the arrangement of the lineup in the short period of time just now, Turtle Bai couldn't care less.
Now he only has Yu Yanyi in his eyes, and that is the living military exploits and throne!
He even selectively forgot the rumors circulating among the tribes that "we will form a formation without fighting".
So what about the formation?! The Zhou troops outside the Tumu Fort were like pigs and dogs under his sword, and these people were no exception.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Bieyai sent his subordinate Cromoli, the commander of ten thousand men, to lead his army to defeat the Zhou army's formation.
Cromoli took the military order, smiled cruelly, and went to kill the Zhou army!
Facing the mighty Houjin Cavalry with tens of thousands of horses galloping, and the Longwu Army at the east main gate, the Yulin Army collapsed and once again recalled the memory of Tumu Fort.
Most of the soldiers turned pale, and even worse, the two groups were fighting, but their main army was broken and massacred by these cavalry. Now the previous scene seems to be repeated.
Facing the cavalry charging into the formation, few generals can lead the infantry to defeat them head-on. Although Yu Yanyi is familiar with military books, but if he wants to defeat the cavalry with his feet, it will not be useful to read two military books.
Fortunately, Yu Yanyi has a capable assistant - Guo Jing.
Yue Wumu was the first person to defeat cavalry with foot in the past three hundred years, and Guo Jing was the successor of Yue Wumu's art of war - "Yue Ce".
"wind!"
Yu Yanyi took out the sword from his waist and shouted loudly!
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
A response came immediately from the strict military formation.
Countless feather arrows rose into the air and pounced on the charging elite cavalry of Cromo Force.
