Chapter 1078 Jia Heng: All armies obey orders and do not let Yue Tuo and Dorji
Run away!
Under the stronghold and in the military tents, there was already a murderous atmosphere, and the soldiers outside the military tents were also extremely vigilant.
"Now that things have happened, do you still dare to incite the soldiers to cause chaos with clever words and tricks?" Jia Heng looked gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Jinyi Palace Guards, bring Fang Jin's younger brother Fang Gong up!"
It has to be said that Fang Jin's words still had some effect, and the expressions of some of the northwest generals present were a little changeable.
If the suspicion of the Xining border general is not resolved, there will be some resistance to the subsequent collection of troops from the northwest.
When Fang Jin heard Fang Gong's name, he couldn't help but feel fear.
Then, several Jinyi Mansion guards escorted Fang Gong into the military tent.
Jia Heng said: "Your second brother Fang Gong opened a chamber of commerce and met the Jurchen Yue Tuan by chance. From then on, he secretly passed on military information, hoping to cause the imperial army to be defeated again."
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the military tent looked shocked and uncertain, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Not only that, Jin Xiaoyu was defeated and Nan'an's army was defeated. If I am not wrong, it was you who secretly conveyed the confidential military information?" Jia Heng said in a deep voice, "Yes or no?"
When talking about the latter part, Shi Guangzhu and Hou Xiaokang both widened their eyes and stared at Fang Jin with unkind expressions.
Is there another hidden reason behind the defeat in the northwest? It was Fang Jin who betrayed the military intelligence and led to the great defeat for the prince?
Doesn’t this mean that they are from the founding martial arts lineage, and there is a chance of getting out of the crime for non-war crimes?
Well, I can only say that this is a bit much to think about.
In fact, in addition to delivering the news internally, Nan'an, Liu Fang and others were still to blame for underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.
When Jin Xuan heard what Jia Heng said, his face turned livid and he shouted: "Fang Jin, why are you doing this? Why are you sending a message to the enemy?"
Fang Jin said: "Master Yue Zhang, I was wronged. It was Jia Heng who framed me and framed me."
At this moment, facing Jin Xuan's questioning, Fang Jin still refused to admit it, but his tone was obviously much weaker.
Jin Xuan's face surged with anger and he said, "I misjudged you!"
At first, I thought that Fang Jin was practical, capable, smart and capable, so I recruited him as my son-in-law. Who would have thought that he would be so heartless and crazy and commit such a shocking act?
Trap him into disloyalty and injustice!
Jia Heng's expression turned cold and he shouted fiercely: "The purpose of killing the former Xining County King's lineage was to realize his ambition to separatize Xining. Now I even suspect that Fang Jin was secretly planning the death of the former Xining County King Jin Cheng."
A few days ago, he was also thinking about what Fang Jin was doing. Then the profit motive could only be to separate Xining. He was no longer satisfied with losing his family and wanted to become the Li family of Xixia.
Jin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Fang Jin in shock and anger, seemingly in disbelief.
My brother died of illness, could it be that Fang Jin was also...
If that's the case, he's really going to die.
At this moment, Fang Jin was completely exposed to the secret. His face was as pale as paper, and his tall figure was firmly held down by the guards of the Jinyi Mansion. He was shaking and he clearly didn't know what to say.
Jia Heng's face was as gloomy as iron and he said: "Detain him and interrogate him in detail."
Fang Jin opened his mouth, but when he met Jin Xuan's eyes that looked like a tiger or a wolf, he couldn't say a word.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of Jin Xuan, who seemed to be a few years older, and said softly: "General Jin, the truth behind this will be revealed by the guards of Jinyi Mansion."
Judging from the current situation, Jin Hyun should not know the inside story.
Jin Hyun closed his eyes slightly, and two lines of old tears flowed down from his eye sockets.
If the elder brother is of the same blood, and the father and son died because of his son-in-law's scheme, how can he have the face to see his elder brother a hundred years later?
Wei Wang Chen Ran watched this scene from the side, feeling very sad in his heart.
Jia Heng ignored Jin Xuan who was in despair, glanced at the generals in the military tent, and said in a deep voice: "Army, listen to the order!"
"Yes." All the generals present responded with their hands.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "The cavalry in the Beijing camp organized their troops and horses, and coordinated with the Xining border army to attack the mountain stronghold, and captured Duoerji and Yue Tuo in one fell swoop. I, the commander, led the central army to hold down the battle for you. Generals, you have made great contributions, and you will be granted the title of wife."
Son, right now!"
The faces of the generals in the military tent were refreshed, and they responded in unison.
Jia Heng watched the generals retreat after receiving orders, his eyes dim and incomprehensible.
At this moment, the entire army must be deployed, the stronghold must be destroyed, and then the remaining enemies must be pursued.
It can be said that we have now entered the second stage of Nian Gengyao's great defeat of Luobu Zangdanjin.
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "General Fuyuan, the guards of Jinyi Mansion will investigate and find out the truth."
Jin Xuan slowly raised his head, stared at the young man in the python suit, and said, "Does Duke Wei suspect that I ordered my son-in-law to murder my dead brother?"
Jia Heng met those painful and self-reproaching eyes and said: "General Jin has a deep relationship with the Prince of Xining. I have never doubted it. I think it is Fang Jin who has evil intentions."
Jin Xuan was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Jia Heng, his voice choked up and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei."
Jia Heng said: "General Jin, when we are about to defeat the enemy, recover Huangyuan and Haiyan, and wipe out the Mongolian tribes, General Jin will mobilize the soldiers and prepare to march."
Following the methodical dispatch of the Han army's cavalry in the Beijing camp, like a highly operating machine, a large number of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows attacked the military stronghold.
And Yue Tuo, who was in command at the mountain stronghold, was naturally keenly aware of this movement of the Han army.
On the wooden watchtower built with wooden beams on all sides, Yue Tuo put on his helmet and armor, put down the brightly lit monocular telescope, and frowned, with a look of doubt on his face.
Dorji curiously asked: "Brother Xian, is it possible that the Han army is about to withdraw?"
In the past few days, the Han army has strengthened its stronghold. Although the Heshuote Mongols suffered a lot of casualties, this kind of defense was also a test for the warriors of other tribes. In the future, if they want to build a city in Qinghai, or even take over the city of Xining, these defenders
But the skills of the city have to be learned.
Yue Tuo shook his head, his eyes full of doubts, and said: "This battle of the Han army seems like the whole army attacked and captured us in one go?"
Could it be that after receiving the report of the defeat of the two groups of surrounding troops and horses, the Han army wanted to fight to the death and make a dangerous attack?
Well, it should be possible.
Yue Tuo thought like this, turned around and asked, "Brother, are there any carrier pigeons coming over these two days?"
Dorzi sighed and said: "There are carrier pigeons. Ilduzi complained to me, saying that he went to ambush for two days in advance and didn't see a single ghost."
Yue Tuo frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "The Han army's march will take time, so let him wait patiently."
Dorji smiled and asked: "After we win this battle, will we be able to invade Xining Fucheng?"
"If the Han army cannot attack, they will most likely return to Xining Fucheng. At that time, there may be a peace meeting. At that time, Xining Fucheng may really be able to be moved." Yue Tuo said with a happy face and a brisk tone.
Dorji smiled and said: "Father Khan will take over Tibet soon. At that time, I will definitely become the general manager of Qinghai. Don't worry, my dear brother, when you take revenge on the Han people, I will definitely send troops to support you."
As he spoke, a simple and honest smile appeared on his chubby face.
"Brother, the Han army has advanced." Yue Tuo interrupted Dorji and pointed at the Han army that was coming like a sea of flaming flames.
Dorji said: "Brother Xian, I will lead the people to repel them!"
With that said, he called his guards and strode towards the stronghold.
At that time, Jia Heng stood under the banner of the Chinese army and raised his eyes to look at the Heshuote Mongolian enemy troops who were waiting in full formation.
At this moment, all the cavalry units in the Beijing Camp had gathered their strength to capture the stronghold in one fell swoop.
This is Jieyin's morale boost. The sergeants who were originally a little demoralized have now been completely mobilized.
Because Jia Heng had not slept well these past few days, his bloodshot eyes narrowed, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. If he was really Jia Mengde, he should have forged the news after the defeat, thereby promoting a great victory.
Finally, I told the generals that this is the sound of victory.
So maybe elevate this offensive and defensive war to the level of art?
But General Xie Pang won a real victory, and it was not an act of wishing for plum blossoms to quench thirst.
Chen Xiaoqing said: "Yue Tuo and Dorji are both in the military camp. They may be able to capture them in one fell swoop later."
Jia Heng said: "Yue Tuo is very cunning. He may have seen that the situation is not good, so he will continue to run away. I will keep an eye on him later. Dorji can escape, but Yue Tuo must stay."
Yue Tuo disrupted the northwest and caused immeasurable losses to the Han Dynasty. He needed Yue Tuo's head to pay tribute to the generals in the Beijing camp who sacrificed their lives in the national disaster.
Those are the brave warriors he trained with his own hands back then.
Chen Xiao nodded, and under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, a pair of cold, jade-like eyes flickered towards the village.
At this moment, a large number of Han troops were charging towards the mountain stronghold with weapons in hand. After several days of attack and defense, the rocks in the weeds were almost worn away by the soldiers who were rushing back and forth.
In fact, Yue Tuo had reinforced the stronghold several times before, and even set up a small stronghold on the west side of the valley entrance as a containment. However, after so many days of Han army attacks, Heshuote Mongolia still suffered heavy casualties.
Looking from a distance, the cottage is in tatters, mostly covered with arrows and blood stains.
The shouts of killing came one after another, and the sound of clashing weapons also sounded one after another. Han troops from all over the mountains and plains poured into the mountain stronghold like a tide.
Arrows, muskets and cannons all rained down on the camp, killing and injuring the entire Han army on a large scale.
In fact, Heshuote Mongolia was gradually on the verge of collapse under the constant battles of the Han army.
Yue Tuo also gradually realized that something was wrong, because this was not the madness after hearing the news of defeat, but more like the encouragement after hearing the news of victory.
About half an hour later, Dorji was covered in blood. Under the guidance of several personal soldiers, he said out of breath: "Brother, there are too many Han troops. It seems like we can't kill them all. We can't stand it anymore."
"
Yue Tuo said: "Brother, hold on. If you hold on for a while, you can win! The Han army couldn't defeat the stronghold, so they retreated and went to Xining Fucheng to get something."
In Yue Tuo's view, this was just a counterattack by the Han army before their death.
Dorji sighed and was about to say something.
At this moment, a panicked figure appeared on the gentle mountain road at the back of the mountain. He stumbled up the mountain village and said in panic: "Taiji, it's not good. A group of cavalrymen with unknown banners came from the west. Look at the costumes."
Give us the same."
"The clothes are the same? Could it be that Ilduzi came back after winning the battle?" Dorzi said in surprise.
Yue Tuo's expression changed slightly, he thought for a while and said firmly: "They are from Chahar Mongolia! Why did they get around to the back?"
Fang Jin's previous intelligence mentioned that the Han troops sent by Jia Heng, the Duke of Wei, to attack behind were all Beijing cavalry. In addition, there were also Chahar Mongol elite cavalry.
"Your Majesty, the flying pigeon is passing the message." At this moment, the general Ilden next to Yue Tuo said anxiously with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, the ambush in Xiaoshitou Gou was ambushed by the Han army and Chaha.
The Ermong people were defeated."
When Yue Tuo heard this, he felt a basin of cold water pouring down his pocket, and his limbs felt cold. His heart was tossing and turning for a while, and he said in an annoyed tone: "I've fallen into the trap, I've fallen into the trap!"
Dorji also changed his color and asked anxiously: "Brother Xian, what's going on?"
What kind of trick did this good guy fall into?
Yue Tuo's eyes were filled with the light of realization, and he said urgently: "Brother, we have fallen into a counter-intentional trick! That Fang Jin is just a bait. In the past few days, the Han army has continued to attract our troops to invest troops, and then they will use the trick.
They have captured two groups of our soldiers and horses, and now the Han army has detoured behind and attacked from both front and rear. The situation is over!"
This Duke of Wei, Jia Heng, is despicable and shameless!
Dorji felt a little dizzy for a while, shook his huge head, and asked: "What is all this about?"
Although he didn't know such a complicated strategy, he understood that the two groups of troops were under attack and might have suffered an unexpected event.
"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were folded in?" Dorji was shocked and said dumbfounded.
Yue Tuo said urgently: "Brother, nothing can be done now. We need to evacuate this place as soon as possible, otherwise we may be in danger of annihilation of the entire army."
Now that the Han army has attacked from both sides, even if Sun Wu comes back to life, it will be difficult to restore the situation. The current plan is to break out of the encirclement, retreat to Haiyan, and then make long-term plans.
Hearing that two groups of troops had been lost, Dorji's hands and feet were cold, and he felt helpless and said: "Brother, we are being attacked from both sides, so we still have to flee to Huangyuan, and then defend with the city with the Han army."
It can be said that the Heshuote Mongols have never suffered such a big loss in their battles with the Han army since they defeated Quetu Khan.
These two lost troops amounted to nearly 20,000 young men. Once the troops were lost and the generals were lost, Gu Shihan would definitely take Dorji to task!
"Huangyuan?" Hearing this, Yue Tuo couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "After the Han army attacked, there will be troops heading straight to Huangyuan. Brother, now we can only organize the army to escape to Haiyan, and we have to gamble.
The Han army does not know the topography of the land, so our army can return from a long distance, otherwise, if this delay continues, the army will be in danger!"
He was like a man possessed these past few days, insisting on fighting to the death with Jia Heng's son at the mouth of the East Canyon. Now the situation was almost unmanageable.
But even if it were to retreat from the sharp edge and engage in a decisive battle with the Han army on the grassland, it would not be wise. The only option was to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and escape into the desert, or ask Junggar to send troops for help.
At this moment, under Yue Tuo's review, he only felt that there was another choice, and he regretted it endlessly.
But you know it’s hard to buy with money!
Dorji's face turned pale, he reached out and took Yue Tuo's arm and said, "Brother Xian, please think of a way."
"Taiji, the Han army is coming." At this moment, a Mongolian guard came from not far away, with a look of panic on his face.
Dorji's face became more and more uncertain. Looking down from a high place, he saw densely packed Han troops below the mountain stronghold, with flags like a forest, and they were rushing up with weapons in hand. At a glance, there was no end in sight.
The Han army launched a general offensive!
Yue Tuo said anxiously: "Brother, I am to blame for this. Brother, please lead the troops one step ahead, and I will stop the rear."
The situation in front of us was caused by his inferior skills and being plotted by others. However, it was the most suitable thing for him to cut off the situation.
Dorji recovered his thoughts and said urgently: "What did you say, brother Xian? You are my brother, let's go together!"
At this moment, Leng'erli, supported by several soldiers, said urgently: "Your Majesty, let me and Ildon break up, and you can leave first."
Seeing this, Yue Tuo had a complex expression on his face, and waves of warmth could not help but surge in his heart.
At this time of military emergency, whoever stays behind will lose his life here. Leng'erli is trying to give Yue Tuo a chance to survive.
Elden said: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly."
At this moment, another wave of soldiers came from the mountain to report the news, saying in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the forward troops of Taiji and Chahar Mongolia are coming to kill us."
At this moment, the three thousand cavalry troops sent by Ezhe Khan, led by Battelle, killed the scouts blocking the road and came to the mouth of the East Canyon first, fighting with the Heshuote Mongolian cavalry troops who stayed behind to guard the army's supplies.
Seeing that Yue Tuo was still hesitating, Leng Eli said urgently: "Your Highness, you will avenge Ilden and me in the future!"
When Yue Tuo saw this, his eyes were moist under his thick eyebrows, and he said to Dorji beside him: "Brother, let's go!"
With that said, he and Dorji led three thousand elite troops from their headquarters, escorted a group of high-ranking generals, and began to kill towards the back mountain, while the entire mountain stronghold was already struggling to resist the Han army's offensive.
The reason why all the troops cannot be withdrawn at once is because the originally orderly retreat will turn into a disorderly rout in a short period of time, and then... no one will be able to escape.
Leng'erli and Yildun led the remaining 10,000 troops of Hoshuote Mongolia into a bloody fight with the surrounding Han army.
Long and short weapons clashed, the sound of bows and crossbows piercing the air, and the cry of killing resounded throughout the fields.
The generals of the Han army came out of the gate like tigers, and Jin Xuan seemed to have vented the previous frustration of Fang Jin. He held a golden sword and swept past. Many of the Mongolian soldiers from Heshuote turned into dead souls under the sword.
At this moment, Jia Heng was observing the enemy's situation with a monocular telescope, and said happily: "It's a big deal!"
At this moment, a large number of Han troops had already rushed into the mountain stronghold, strangling the soldiers and horses of Heshuote Mongolia.
"Army, listen to the order and don't let Yue Tuo and Dorji escape!" Jia Heng said.
Following Jia Heng's order, tens of thousands of Han soldiers shouted in unison, "Don't let Yue Tuo and Dorji escape!" The sound echoed all over the mountains and plains, and it lasted for a long time in the valley. It was spectacular for a while.
Dong Qian clasped his fists and said, "Commander, I am humbled by my position and want to lead my troops to charge forward."
Jia Heng turned to look at Dong Qian, thought for a moment, and said, "Cousin, be careful."
Ever since his cousin Dong Qian came to him, he had actually been using it cautiously, fearing that it would be damaged. He had made some achievements when he went to northern Xinjiang to pacify the captives.
Obviously, looking at Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi's cousin who was successively knighted, the fire of merit in his heart is also burning brightly.
Dong Qian responded with clasped fists, then summoned hundreds of soldiers and horses to guard the army, and rushed into the military tent.
At this moment, in the village, the shouts of killing were loud.
Leng'erli was holding a big sword and was killing the Han army. This big man, who was always regarded as a caring person by Yue Tuan, was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. Faced with the siege of the Han army, he was not afraid and fought tooth and nail to resist the Han army's attacks.
attack.
But because I have been injured a lot in the past few days, it still has some impact on my combat effectiveness.
Jin Xuan had already led a group of soldiers to the front and was heading towards Leng'erli.
Leng'erli also sensed that the visitor was unkind, so he raised his sword and went out to greet him. Both sides were first-rate generals. They fought for three to five rounds in a row, and they seemed to be evenly matched.
At this moment, a young general rushed up to the general, with high energy and loud voice: "General Fuyuan, I'm here to help you!"
It is none other than Jia Fang, the young general of the Jia family.
With the addition of a new force, Jin Xuan became more and more calm, but Leng Eli was retreating steadily. In the end, he made an accidental move and his ribs were swept by the steel knife in Jin Xuan's hand. He groaned and his movements became even slower.
Jin Xuan looked at the young man and said loudly: "Young general, I will raid the formation for you, but you have to take the life of this general!"
Jia Fang said: "Thank you, General Fuyuan."
After saying that, he stepped forward with his knife and killed Leng'eli.
Seeing this scene, Jin Xuan's originally depressed face seemed to gradually dissipate a little, and he stood beside Jia Fang.
After a while, Leng'eli was finally defeated. Covered in blood, he half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you in the next life..."
Immediately, before he finished speaking, the head shot up into the sky and fell into the hands of the young general.
On the other side, Ningxia commander-in-chief Hu Kui and Hou Xiaokang were fighting around Yildeng.
As the generals who were assigned to the army, these two generals were more proficient in martial arts than ordinary soldiers, and naturally had a higher chance of survival. They killed the enemy bravely these days.
Faced with the siege of the two generals, Ilden gradually became unable to withstand the attack. Then, by accident, Hou Xiaokang stabbed Hou Xiaokang in the back, causing him to fall to the ground. Hu Kui stepped forward and slashed Ilden's neck.
Immediately, blood gurgled out, and Ilden groaned in pain, looking to the north with unblinking eyes.
Shi Guangzhu was also fighting with a general at this moment. After these days, his injuries improved a bit, but his martial arts skills were still a little inconvenient. The gun light came out quickly, and with a "squeak" sound, he stabbed the general in front of him to death with one shot.
Immediately, as if he was injured, the gun was slightly on the ground, breathing heavily.
At this moment, I suddenly felt an evil wind behind me, and it was clear that another general was taking advantage of the situation to kill him.
Shi Guangzhu exerted all his strength and was about to stab him with a spear, when he saw that Fan's chest was pierced by a knife and he immediately fell to the ground.
"General Shi, be careful." It was clearly Dong Qian who arrived with his troops.
But on the other hand, the Chahar Mongolian Khan Ezhe led 20,000 cavalry and attacked from the northwest of the east canyon entrance.
After leaving the mouth of the East Canyon, there is a relatively wide platform valley. This is the only way from the mouth of the East Canyon to Huangyuan, and it is also the place where the army transfers grain and crops.
"Most likely Yue Tuo and Dorji will not go this way. You divide them into three teams and block them. Once discovered, blow the horn and I will take the heads of Yue Tuo and Dorji."
Ezhe Khan said to General Battelle on the side.
Barter responded loudly: "Yes, Khan."
Ezhe Khan had a resolute face and looked into the distance. Behind him were the mighty Chahar Mongolian soldiers and horses, and their sabers reflected gleaming rays of light in the afternoon sun.
Dorji and Yue Tuo escaped from the encirclement and suppression by soldiers and horses led by Chahar Mongolian Batter. They counted their elite cavalry and found that at some point, there were more than two thousand cavalry left.
Yue Tuo looked at the vast mountains and forests in the distance and said: "Brother, most of the Chahar Mongols are waiting for us in front. Let's take a detour and not go anywhere. I will attract Chahar's troops for you. Brother, wait for the day."
If it's dark, you can go back to Haiyan via the path."
Tens of thousands of troops died here because of his own cleverness. Yue Tuo felt guilty and did not want to go back with Dorji.
Dorji said anxiously: "Brother Xian, why are you doing this? As long as we escape back to Haiyan, we can assemble an army to fight back. Don't go and die!"
If we encounter the Chahar Mongolian troops at this time, are we not seeking death, or what?
Yue Tuo said: "Brother, you go to Haiyan and send someone to contact the Khan of Junggar. I will attract the enemy's attention for my brother. The Chahar Mongols are also familiar with the Qinghai landforms."
Dorji's eyes were firm and he said: "No, dear brother, listen to me, let's go together! If the soldiers, horses and generals are gone, we can still recruit more, but if brother Yue Tuo is gone, I, Dorji, will have nothing."
.”
If Father Khan blamed him, with Prince Heshuocheng of the Qing Dynasty around, he could still have excuses, which was better than running back alone.
When Yue Tuo heard this, he felt deeply moved. He hugged Dorji's arm and said affectionately: "Brother."
Just when the two brothers were in love, suddenly a guard behind them said: "Khan, the Han army is catching up."
Apparently after this period of time, the Beijing cavalry had defeated the two generals Leng'erli and Yildun who had stayed behind. After twelve days of offensive and defensive setbacks, the Han army opened the entrance to the East Canyon in one fell swoop.
Dorji said: "Brother Xian, there's no need to delay, let's go!"
At this moment, the generals led by Battelle and the generals from the Beijing camp swept in.
I finished writing nearly 13,000 words today and called it a day.
