Chapter 1161 Jia Heng: Where are the thieves? (At the end of the month, please vote
!)
Zhejiang Governor's Yamen
It is already afternoon, and the sunset in the western sky is red, even more desolate in the cold winter. The sun shines on the sparsely populated streets of Fucheng, Hangzhou, and the doors of the rows of houses on both sides are closed.
Obviously, as time passed, the people in Hangzhou Prefecture also learned that the Jurchens and the Korean navy had landed on the coast and wanted to invade Hangzhou Prefecture.
Among the official offices——
Seeing Liu Zhen entering the official office accompanied by a group of scribes and retinues, the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Dusi said: "Master Liu, what is the Queen's plan?"
Liu Zhen said: "The Queen has agreed to leave Hangzhou City to temporarily avoid the war. We no longer have to worry about anything."
Zhejiang Chief Minister Feng Jingming's fat face was full of anxiety and he asked: "Master Liu, the Jurchens are about to attack. Can Master Liu think of a way to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Zhen was silent for a moment, with a firm look on his face, and said loudly: "Master Feng, Master Mu, summon all the officials in the city, cooperate with the guards of the capital, and go to the gate tower to defend the city. We must not let the soldiers burn the people in our city.
, the city is there and the people are there, but the city is lost and people are dead!”
Feng Jingming said anxiously: "Master Liu, where is the Jiangnan Navy? Has the Jiangnan Navy come to help? How can we withstand it with the people in the city alone?"
A stern expression surged on Liu Zhen's face, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to stop it even if you can't! The safety of Hangzhou's capital is related to your life and property. Once the provincial government fails, you and I will lose our heads!"
When Feng Jingming heard this, his heart was shocked and he was speechless for a long time.
In fact, Governor Liu is also a member of the Zhejiang Party. He is considered a rising star of the Zhejiang Party and is not an incompetent person. Now that he encountered an unexpected situation, he did not panic.
In contrast, the governor of Zhejiang was not as calm as the governor who was a civil servant.
Liu Zhen said: "Everyone, please gather the officials from all ministries, bring the equipment, and prepare to go to the gate tower to defend the city. You cannot let a single soldier enter the capital of Hangzhou."
The Zhejiang Governor's Yamen began to act like a machine, with gears turning and orderly arrangements started.
On the other hand, Queen Song also said goodbye to the old Taigong of Song. Accompanied by Liang Wang Chen Wei and his brother Song Jing, she boarded a ship and headed north to Huzhou to escape to Jinling.
As for Song Jing, he did not follow him because there was no way he could leave his old father at home and escape alone.
The Empress of the Song Dynasty is the empress of the motherland and represents the state. She cannot stand under a dangerous wall.
"Mother, let's leave quickly." Liang Wang Chen Wei looked at Empress Song who was standing on the deck and said goodbye, and said softly: "Mother, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jinling, and there are many military honors. It is as safe as a rock.
.”
The Empress of Song Dynasty looked disappointed, sighed softly, and said: "The Empress is worried about your grandpa. I hope that God will bless you and the city of Hangzhou will be safe and sound."
How could this Jurchen attack Hangzhou City?
Liang Wang Chen Wei said angrily: "It's all that Jia Ziyu's fault. He fought against the red barbarians and pirates in Fuzhou Prefecture, and suddenly drew the troops of Ningbo Guards and Hangzhou Guards. Now Hangzhou Prefecture is empty, and now the Jurchens are coming fiercely.
, harassing the capital city of Hangzhou, once the city is defeated, I wonder how many more crimes the Jurchens will commit."
Queen Song's voice was as gentle as water, and she said softly: "You can't blame Jia Ziyu for this."
Chen Wei was dissatisfied and said: "The Queen Mother spoke for him again."
Empress Song was very upset at the moment, worried about the safety of her family in Hangzhou, and ignored Chen Wei.
As the ship set sail, the surrounding cavalry also protected the ship as it sailed toward Suzhou.
And in the distance, a pair of cold eyes behind the clairvoyance was staring at itself, and couldn't help but sneered.
The guard strength around the witch was reduced by half, which was when they were acting.
Outside Hangzhou Fucheng——
As a large number of Jurchen bannermen surrounded the entire city of Hangzhou, the people in the city began to panic. Because the country had been at peace for a hundred years, the city of Hangzhou had not heard the sound of fighting for a long time, and saw a catastrophe right in front of its eyes.
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, wearing a cotton coat and armor, led a group of Zhejiang officials to stand on top of the city and asked: "Shuai Gong, how is the situation? How many enemy troops have come, do you have the confidence to defend the city?"
Gong Changhui looked resolute and said loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I have already dispatched relevant troops to garrison in the four cities. We will not allow the Jurchens to attack the city walls one by one."
Liu Zhen looked solemn and said: "The hundreds of thousands of people in the city all look at Gong Du for his handsomeness."
As he said that, he looked at Tongpan, the governor's Yamen, and asked: "Zhao Tongpan, has the messenger sent to Suzhou Prefecture for help passed?"
"Sir, we have sent someone to deliver it 600 miles away." Zhao Tongpan said loudly.
Liu Zhen nodded and said: "We must defend Hangzhou Fucheng and cannot let anything happen again."
At this moment, Hauge below, accompanied by Shi Tingzhu, Wu Shoujin and other Han generals, approached to inspect the capital city of Hangzhou.
"Your Majesty, give me the order. As long as the three drums sound, we can capture this city." Wu Shoujin said solemnly from the side.
At this moment, the Jurchens and the Korean navy were almost finished eating. Now that they saw this big city, they could no longer hold back.
The cloak on Hauge's body was rustling in the cold wind at this moment. Under his eyebrows, his eyes were cold and stern as he said: "Attack the city!"
The purpose is to take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not completely defended it, and then capture the capital city of Hangzhou in one fell swoop.
Following Hauge's order, 3,500 Zhenglan Banner soldiers and 8,000 Korean navy launched an attack on Hangzhou Fucheng.
…
…
The West Lake to the west of Hangzhou Fucheng is sparkling and beautiful.
The Song Dynasty House standing on the bank of the West Lake——
In the backyard, Mrs. Song was lying on the bed by herself. Her old face was covered with age spots. At this moment, she opened her old and turbid eyes and asked, "Jing'er, have the Jurchens entered the city?"
"Father, the Jurchens are below the city." Song Jing sighed and said.
Grandpa Song sighed and said, "Have the reinforcements from the imperial court not arrived yet?"
Song Jing said in a deep voice: "Even if the reinforcements from Suzhou Prefecture are to arrive, they will not arrive until two days later. My father, Jia Ziyu, is a famous general in the world and will not let Hangzhou Prefecture fall into the hands of the enemy."
Old Mrs. Song nodded and asked, "Is Sister You leaving?"
"We've already left by boat, but it's still too dangerous here." Song Jing whispered.
Grandpa Song was silent for a moment and said: "You can't stay in this land of right and wrong for a long time. You can leave too. If the city is destroyed, those Tatars will kill people without eyesight."
Song Jing looked sad and said sadly: "Father, even if he is broken up by thieves and bandits, my son will still be with his father, and his fourth brother can also inherit the incense of my Song family."
Old Grandpa Song sighed and said, "Why are you bothering me? I already have today and no tomorrow. You lead people to Jinling immediately. Don't worry about my father here. Just go."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and waved his hands.
If the city is captured, lives will be lost.
Song Jing choked and said: "Father."
While the father and son were talking, a servant from outside came into the hall, with a hurried look on his face, and said urgently: "Master, master, the Jurchens have attacked the city."
Song Jing's expression changed and she asked, "Have all the officers and soldiers passed by?"
"Master, it's over."
Song Jing said: "Go and tell General Zhang, who is protecting you outside, and ask him to lead people to the city wall for reinforcements."
In addition to the 3,000 elite soldiers left behind by Empress Song before she left, they were dispatched to the top of the city to help defend the city, and 500 people were still guarding the Song family.
The servant responded quickly and passed on the order.
At this moment, not only Song Zhai, but also the people in the entire Hangzhou city were paying attention to the Tatar siege outside Hangzhou city, and their hearts were in their throats.
We have long known the brutality of the Tatars. Once the city is breached, the lives of the people in the city will be ruined.
"Boom boom!"
Although the Jurchens did not have Hongyi cannons, they still had Folan cannons on the ship. This time they were dragged over by horses and started bombarding the city outside Hangzhou.
As the smoke filled the air, the green bricks and dust on the top of the city flew everywhere.
The Han troops on the top of the city also fired arrows together. Gong Changhui asked the Zhejiang Dusi to also bring in more than a dozen Folan cannons, which were temporarily arranged on the top of the city to bombard the enemy invaders below.
Along with the cry of killing, a large number of Jurchen soldiers below Hangzhou Fucheng began to charge with swords, like a stormy sea crashing against the rocks, the momentum seemed quite fierce.
The officers, soldiers and officials and civilians in the Hangzhou Prefecture were all strong, and they threw rolling logs and stones downwards through the crenellations of the city wall, hitting the ferocious Jurchen bannermen hard.
"Ahh..." screams kept coming and going.
"Whizzing!!!"
The sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air rang out in the air, occasionally accompanied by the screams of the sergeants, and the shouts of killing were everywhere. Before long, the fighting battlefield had become fierce.
Gong Changhui, the commander of the Zhejiang capital, was wearing a mountain-shaped maroon armor and holding a wild goose feather sword. He led his own soldiers and fought hard with the Jurchen bannermen who rushed up to the city with ladders.
"Clang!"
The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh, and the roars of soldiers shouting and killing, enveloped the entire city of Hangzhou.
Gradually, some brave soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner climbed to the top of the city from the ladder. They formed a formation and fought against the surrounding soldiers. After a while, they established a firm footing on the top of the city, while the soldiers on the Hangzhou Fucheng
The Han army was in chaos for a while.
And as time goes by, this scene becomes more and more common.
Hauge was riding on a horse with a dark mane, wearing blue foam nail armor. He was tall and tall, holding a riding whip, pointing at Hangzhou Fucheng in the distance, smiling at the soldiers on the left and right and saying: "The Han army is like sheep.
, in front of my elite Eight Banners, I can only let myself be slaughtered!"
At this moment, the Eight Banners elites were forced into desperation and quickly gathered towards the city wall, while the Han army was retreating steadily.
The Han army in Hangzhou Prefecture had never fought against these ferocious Eight Banners elites. Facing the brave and capable Eight Banners elites, they were frightened and had little power to fight back.
And on the official road ten miles away from Hangzhou Fucheng, the sound of horse hooves could be heard constantly. Jia Heng was urging the cavalry behind him to quickly approach Hangzhou Fucheng.
"Captain, ahead is Hangzhou Fucheng." Li Shu reined in his horse and said excitedly.
Jia Heng nodded, and with a pair of cold eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows, he said in a deep voice: "Hurry, hurry up, and rush to the aid of Hangzhou Fucheng."
"This is a killing cry, Commander." Li Shu's face changed slightly and he said loudly.
Jia Heng said: "Hurry, faster."
The cavalry behind them urged their horses with all their strength, and then galloped towards Hangzhou Fucheng.
At this moment, the city of Hangzhou was also at a critical moment. There was only a "boom" sound, and when the smoke and dust filled the air, a big hole was seen in the city gate.
Obviously due to the constant impact of the wooden logs and the cooperation of the Fo Lang machine cannon, the city gate was in disrepair for a long time. The door bolt finally could not hold up and was blown open in one fell swoop. The Jurchen soldiers and horses who were attacking the city outside all let out a cheer.
They are about to rush towards the city.
At this moment, Hauge looked at this scene, the beard under his chin exploded slightly, his face could not hide the joy, and he said loudly: "Break the city, don't seal the sword for three days!"
At this moment, in the city gate tower, Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, who was waiting for news, looked pale and his limbs were cold. He felt like a basin of cold water had been poured down his head in the cold winter.
The matter is now urgent, and hundreds of thousands of Hangzhou residents are at risk!
"Lord Zhongcheng, the city gate is broken and the Tatars have entered the city. Escape from the city quickly." The faces of the staff on the left and right changed slightly and they said urgently.
Liu Zhen looked solemn and said righteously: "I have spoken first. If the city is alive and people are there, if the city dies, people will die. I swear to live and die together with the city!"
After saying that, he stood up, pulled out the three-foot sword from his waist with a "clop" sound, and said loudly: "Confucius said Chengren, Mencius said Qiyi, everyone, the folks in Hangzhou City behind me are looking at you, absolutely
We cannot allow the Jurchens to enter the capital city of Hangzhou and kill them with my own authority!"
But all the officials in Zhou Dynasty were in conflict with each other and their faces were pale.
"Lord Zhongcheng, I can't stop you." Lou Junxue, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, looked frightened and called out with a cry in his voice.
Liu Zhen looked firm, tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, and said, "Follow me and kill the enemy."
As he said that, he led a group of officials to stand on the top of the city. At this moment, many officials from the three divisions had begun to seize the opportunity and descended from the city gate tower, planning to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
At this moment, Gong Changhui also led his soldiers and began to fight against the Jurchen elite bannermen who wanted to enter the city.
However, the Jurchen soldiers and horses rushed over like a tide, they were brave and vigorous, and they were not afraid of death.
The officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Prefecture struggled to resist. Faced with the fighting of the elite soldiers of the Eight Jurchen Banners and the Zhenglan Banner, they were frightened and quickly retreated towards the rear.
Hauge looked at the scene at the gate of Hangzhou Fucheng and laughed loudly: "Everyone, the big deal is settled!"
Because although the soldiers of the Hangzhou Prefecture were superior to the Jurchens in terms of military strength, their combat power was far inferior. In front of a group of brave and skilled Zhenglan Banner elites, they could not resist at all and could only retreat steadily.
At this critical moment, batches of Beijing elites came from the end of the street and joined the battlefield with expressionless faces, instantly resisting the trend of collapse.
Before Empress Song left, she left behind the elite troops from the Beijing camp to guard Feng Jia.
There are about two to three thousand elites in this Beijing camp, and their combat power is much stronger than the soldiers and horses of Hangzhou Prefecture. At this moment, they join the battle group with weapons in hand, and fight against the Zhenglan Banner elites under Hauge. They will kill even if they resist.
Red tartar.
The elite offensive of the Jurchen Blue Flag, which was originally overwhelming, stalled, and was even gradually driven out of the city gate.
When Hauge saw this scene, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted: "Shi Tingzhu and Wu Shojin will take the capital of Hangzhou with me!"
At this moment, all troops must be pressed, otherwise there is a possibility of failure.
Hauge is good at fighting, and his sense of smell on the battlefield is far superior to ordinary people.
There was also a fierce look on the stone pillars. He responded loudly, drew out the sword hanging from his waist, and followed Wu Shojin to Hangzhou Fucheng.
At this moment, the capital city of Hangzhou is in danger!
Viewed from a high altitude, many Jurchen elites of the Zhenglan Banner wearing blue bubble-studded cloth armor strangled the Han army above the city and drove the Han army away from the city.
In the direction of the city gate, there was a steady stream of Zhenglan Banners rushing towards the house.
However, at this moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, causing Hauge, who was riding his horse to charge, to look startled on his face and couldn't help but follow the sound.
On the official road to the southeast of Hangzhou Fucheng, smoke and dust were billowing, covering the sky and the sun. Flags were flying, and the cavalry quickly approached Hangzhou Fucheng.
The word "Jia" is clearly visible on the red brocade flag at the head, fluttering in the wind, like a volcano pressing down.
At this moment, Jia Heng led his troops and arrived in time.
"The reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming." Gong Changhui, the commander of the Zhejiang Dusi City on the top of the city, stared at the Han cavalry not far away, and ordered his soldiers and horses to shout in unison.
The morale of the officers and soldiers was boosted.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
At this moment, the cavalry army rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry force in a mighty manner. At this moment, the Han army wearing a red mandarin duck battle coat seemed to be burning like balls of red flames, as if it wanted to burn red.
The whole sky.
The morale of the Hangzhou guards who had been struggling to resist and were collapsing was suddenly boosted. In addition, the three thousand elite troops from the Beijing camp left behind by Empress Song gathered at this moment to receive reinforcements and drive away the Jurchen Zhenglan Banner.
Ding headed out of the city.
Jia Heng came on horseback at this moment, wielding a long knife in his palm that was impervious to wind and rain. Wherever he passed, he could see blood and severed limbs flying everywhere, screams kept coming, and there were almost no enemies under the knife.
The Jurchen bannermen fell down like dry grass, fell to the ground under the sword, and fell in a pool of blood.
Hauge was on his horse at the moment, and he also saw the young man in python suit holding a long knife and killing everyone. How could he not know that it was the Duke of Wei, Jia Heng, who killed his father and his enemy?
The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
On Hauge's majestic face, anger was surging. Under his thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes were as cold as lightning. Seeing a hint of coldness, he said: "Jia Heng, kid, take your life!"
As he spoke, he held a long knife in his hand and charged towards Jia Heng.
Jia Heng snorted coldly, not to be outdone, and charged towards Hauge.
The two horses were riding fast, like thunder and lightning, and they were in doubt.
The long sword in Jia Heng's hand turned into a beam of moonlight and slashed towards Hauge.
Hauge snorted coldly, with a cold glint in his eyes, and slashed at Jia Heng with all his strength.
"prick!"
The sharp blade cut through the air, making a "stabbing" sound.
"clang!"
The long knives collided, sparks flew everywhere, and the piercing scream made Hauge's eardrums hurt. His eyes widened, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.
This guy has so much strength!
Jia Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, the sword light turned sharply, and without any hesitation, in a moment, he was heading towards Hauge to kill him.
Hauge's face darkened, and he quickly used his knife to parry. His body swayed uncontrollably, and he felt like his insides were on fire, and his heart was extremely frightened.
Then, the force of the sword was like a violent storm, coming in an endless stream like the water of a river.
"Dangdang..."
Accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing, the two had fought for more than ten rounds. Hauge was sweating profusely and his body was shaking on his horse.
The cavalry from all directions had already dispersed the Jurchen bannermen and the Korean navy, and with the official troops rushing out from Hangzhou Fucheng, the Jurchen and Korean navy were immediately caught in a pincer attack from both front and rear.
Just as Jia Heng and Hauge were fighting in a revolving door, Hauge suddenly felt a flash of sword light. He clearly couldn't react and dodged to the side subconsciously. For a moment, his shoulder hurt, and he secretly felt bad.
"Pfft!"
An arm fell to the ground with a sound, falling into the dust, and blood suddenly spurted out.
"Your Majesty! The slave is here." At this time, Shi Tingzhu was riding on his horse. Seeing this scene, he was shocked and rushed towards Hauge with a big knife in his hand.
Wu Shoujin on the side was not to be outdone. He also picked up a long sword, killed the surrounding generals of the Beijing camp, and then besieged Jia Heng with all his strength.
"Clang!"
In the flash of cold light, the two groups of men and horses charged towards Jia Heng in a straight-line formation. Their swords were sharp and had an infinite strangulation potential.
However, the two of them were no match for Jia Heng. The sword in Jia Heng's palm swung lightly, and the weapons in their palms flew into the air.
Shi Tingzhu felt his body tremble, and he looked at the young man with an almost horrified look, as cold as lightning. The numbness coming from the tiger's mouth reminded him that the person in the distance was powerful.
However, before he could react, he saw a flash of cold light, shouts from around him, his neck hurt, and then he fell into endless darkness.
At this time, Hauge ignored the burst of pain in his arm and tightly wrapped his shirt and cloak. He did not dare to stay any longer and took the opportunity to ride away.
While Wu Shoujin was in a daze, he suddenly felt an evil wind blowing behind his head, and saw the light of a sword sweeping towards him. He quickly got down from his horse, but the sword turned in the air and was cut into two pieces.
Jia Heng looked at Hauge who was walking away with a broken arm and an injury. His face was livid, and he shouted coldly, with a voice like a thunderous roar: "Where are you going, thief!"
The green horse beneath him was like a bolt of lightning, chasing Haug.
Hauge was frightened and reluctantly headed east toward Hangzhou Bay.
The surrounding Zhenglan Banner generals also came over to protect him, giving Hauge a chance to escape.
But at this moment, on the battlefield, the Jurchen Blue Flag bannermen were already under attack from both sides of the army and quickly collapsed and fled.
At this moment, three to four thousand Zhenglan bannermen and the North Korean navy were scattered and cut into pieces by the cavalry, and were surrounded and killed by the Hangzhou Fucheng officers and soldiers who came out to respond.
Jia Heng snorted coldly and chased Hauge closely, his horse galloping like lightning, and the long sword in his palm waving like lightning. All the Jurchen generals and banner men who stood in his way were turned into dead souls under the sword.
At this moment, on the city gate tower, the Zhejiang officials who were originally fearful saw that the crisis was over, and most of their frightened faces showed a look of joy.
Well, there is no need to destroy the capital of Hangzhou, their wealth and lives have been saved.
It was just a matter of seconds before the Tatars took over the city.
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, calmed down and said loudly: "Join the army and kill the remaining bandits."
All the officials agreed.
The commander of the Zhejiang capital, Gong Changhui, wiped the blood on his face with an equally frightened look on his face, and cast his eyes on the Beijing cavalry that was chasing the Jurchens and the North Korean navy.
At this moment, the Jurchen bannermen and the North Korean navy had been scattered and collapsed, and the elite troops from the Beijing camp in the capital city of Hangzhou also joined forces with the cavalry from the Jiangnan camp outside to kill the remaining Jurchen enemies.
As time passed, nearly half of the three to four thousand Jurchen bannermen who landed and attacked were wiped out by the army, and many of the North Korean navy abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
And Hauge led six to seven hundred people and ran towards Hangzhou Bay, trying to escape to the ship.
Jia Heng led his troops to pursue him all the way. After several waves of sniper attacks, he was still slowed down and did not catch up to Hauge's men.
Mainly because they traveled a long distance to help Hangzhou Fucheng, and the horses were also a little tired.
At this moment, Jia Heng stopped his horse in front of Hangzhou Bay, raised his eyes and looked at Hauge's troops, who had raised their sails and fled desperately towards the sea, feeling regretful in his heart.
"Jie Shuai." Li Shu, the accompanying personal guard, called out.
Jia Heng said coldly: "Let the soldiers be on guard here to prevent the Jurchens from coming back. We will return to Hangzhou Fucheng and hunt down the remaining enemies."
Before Hauge fled, he left behind a large number of Jurchen bannermen and Korean naval forces. If they were not killed, they would easily become rebels.
With that said, Jia Heng turned back towards Hangzhou Fucheng. It was now afternoon, the winter sun was shining brightly, and the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke and war flames. Flags burned into black holes and broken swords and guns could be seen everywhere, and corpses and blood were a mess.
At this point, the war in which the Jurchens led their navy to invade the capital city of Hangzhou has initially come to an end.
During this battle, Hauge's nearly 10,000 navy troops stayed in Hangzhou Fucheng. Hauge himself also lost an arm and endured serious injuries. He only led 300 to 400 Jurchen bannermen and 200 Korean navy troops to escape to the ship.
Thousands of soldiers joined forces and headed for Zhoushan in boats, intending to meet up with Abatai.
A water battle also broke out in Zhoushan, and Abatai was enduring the bombardment of Hongyi cannons from Dong Qian and Shui Yu.
