At night, the sky was very beautiful, and the moonlight was unusually bright. [~] But in the morning, the weather suddenly changed. First there was strong wind, and then the sky was filled with dark clouds. Soon, it started pouring rain.
In such heavy rainy weather, the Liangshan army was fighting endlessly with the Jurchen army.
The rain was so heavy that the generals could not clearly see the situation in front of them. Both the Liangshan army and the Jurchen army began to become confused.
Within a radius of 30 miles, more than 200,000 people on both sides formed countless battlefields of various sizes. Some battlefields were dominated by the Jurchens, and in other places the Liangshan army had the advantage. However, overall, Liangshan's advantage was still greater.
It is larger because the Liangshan army outnumbers the Jurchens, and most of the Liangshan troops are fresh troops, while the Jurchens have been fighting for a day and a night, and many of them are exhausted.
From morning to noon, the war did not stop, and the rain fell even harder.
Sun Li had just arrived here with more than 20,000 soldiers from the Second Army. He wiped the rain from his face, looked at the gloomy sky, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Commander, why are you laughing?" the soldier next to him asked curiously.
"The Jurchens are already trapped in the front. Can I not laugh? We have surrounded them." Sun Lida said.
"The rain is so heavy that I can't see the road ahead at all. I'm afraid there's a melee ahead," said a company commander next to him.
"A melee is a head-to-head fight. We in Liangshan are not afraid of a head-to-head fight. The Jurchens are afraid that they don't have many Jurchens now." Sun Lidao.[]
Several officers around them nodded, with a look of joy on their faces. If the Jurchens could be forced to fight hard and continue to fight, the Jurchens would sooner or later finish the fight and the number of Han people would be dozens of times that of the enemy.
, what we are least afraid of is fighting head-on. If every Han is like Liang Shanjun
With such a brave and desperate team, even if the Han people can defeat all the nomads in the north without using any strategies and just relying on head-on fighting, can the Han people with a population of nearly 100 million still be unable to defeat a population of only a few hundred thousand and a few hundred?
A weak nation with thousands of people? Isn’t this a joke?
"Where are Yang Lin and the others?" Sun Li said suddenly.
"They are following us right now. Look, Commander Yang Lin is here," said the company commander next to him.
Sure enough, there was a group of people coming from a distance, and the leader was Yang Lin.
When Yang Lin and Sun Li met, they both laughed. Originally, many people died in yesterday's war, and everyone was not in a good mood, but with such heavy rain pouring on people, their moods seemed to relax.
many.
"Where should we rush from?" Sun Lida said.
"You said, our Third Army Corps will follow you," Yang Lin said with a smile.
"Okay." Sun Li nodded. The battlefield situation was now chaotic and he couldn't tell where to take action.
At this time, a group of cavalry suddenly came towards them from a distance. In the heavy rain, they could only see a vague figure and could not hear the voices on the other side. The officers and soldiers beside Sun Li immediately became vigilant.
, everyone is ready to fight.
"Is it Commander Sun?" The cavalry team is getting closer and closer, and their voices can finally be heard clearly. [Ye*] [*]
"Who are you?" Sun Li asked loudly.
However, when they heard that the person on the other side seemed to be Han Chinese, everyone felt relieved for the time being.
"We are here under the orders of the Grand Governor and the Legion Commander" came another voice from the other side.
Finally they arrived in front of Sun Li's army. They were indeed wearing Liangshan military uniforms, which made them even more reassured. These people jumped off their horses, and they first handed their badges to Sun Li. Sun Li looked at it.
After taking a look, it turned out that several of them were Wu Dong's bodyguards, and a few were Hua Rong's personal bodyguards.
"What are the orders of the Grand Governor and the Legion Commander?" Sun Li asked hurriedly.
"They said you are no longer needed on the battlefield," said the leading cavalryman.
"Why don't we need us anymore?" Sun Li was stunned, and Yang Lin and others were also stunned. They worked hard to get here, and they didn't dare to stop at all along the way. Now they are no longer needed on the battlefield.
"The legion commander said that he has arranged a more important task for you." The cavalry leader said.
"A more important task." Sun Li was stunned again and hurriedly listened carefully.
"The legion commander said that we have trapped the Jurchens here. You don't need to participate in the battle now, but be careful to prevent the Jurchens from escaping," the cavalry leader said.
"What are we going to do?" Sun Lidao said.
"The legion commander said that the First Army and the Third Army will mainly attack the Jurchens from the rear. The Fourth Army is blocking the east side. Don't let the Jurchens escape from the west. You should march west immediately. There are three roads in the west. They are all
You have occupied the only way for the Jurchens to pass by and firmly blocked the Jurchens," the cavalry leader said.
The cavalry leader squatted down and began to row on the ground. The soldiers next to him hurriedly used their military uniforms to protect him from the rain to prevent what he had rowed from being immediately washed away by the water. He pointed out three main locations where the
How to block, how to ambush, etc. were all explained.
Sun Li, Yang Lin and others took note of it carefully. After a while, they began to take action. They did not pass by the battlefield, but walked south first. After bypassing the battlefield, they went west again, and finally
Go north.
After a day of fighting yesterday, we have been on the road from midnight to now, and now we have to rush again. The whole army is extremely tired. However, seeing the dawn of victory in sight, the officers and soldiers are extremely happy and excited.
"We are in the west, with the First Army, the Third Army in the south, and the Fourth Army in the east. There seems to be a lack of manpower in the north," Sun Lida said.
"There must be an ambush in the north," Yang Lin said.
They couldn't waste a single minute on the battlefield. Time was urgent. They all hurried on. Most of the soldiers were panting, but they still kept running. Some soldiers were injured. Such running involved wounds, and their faces were constantly covered with wounds.
There were still some people who couldn't run away with expressions of pain. Sun Li ordered these people to follow behind, and the large army continued to move forward. The soldiers behind were anxious and unwilling, and they still gritted their teeth and rushed forward desperately.
The road was too muddy, which greatly affected their speed. It was impossible to judge the time on a rainy day. They felt that they had been running for almost an hour, but they were still running.
The scope of the battlefield has become larger and larger, and the melee has spread to a radius of 50 miles, causing casualties on both sides.
Wanyan Aguda was already urgently gathering his troops. He was anxious, but the rain was too heavy and his eyesight was so good that he couldn't even see a place 20 meters away. The rain was so loud that the sound of the horn could not be heard at all. He thought
It is too difficult to assemble an army
After such a hesitation, he didn't know how many people would die. He was heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, we have gathered 30,000 soldiers. Let's leave here first," Wanyan Hanben said.
"No, we have to gather the rest of the people." Wanyan Agu said.
"It's too late," Wanyan Hanben said.
When they were gathering, the Liangshan army was also gathering. Luan Tingyu's cavalry had already gathered half of them. Behind them, Yang Xiong and Yang Zhi's troops were slowly uniting to advance together.
"There are still our soldiers over there. Let's charge south, gather some more soldiers, and then leave the battlefield," Wanyan Agu said.
He led the army towards the south and encountered countless small battlefields along the way. He led the army to kill the Liangshan soldiers and rescued the Jurchens. When it was getting dark, there were 5,000 more soldiers behind him.
Jurchen soldiers, but at this moment he could already see a large group of people appearing faintly in the distance. They were Yang Xiong and Yang Zhi's troops who were constantly advancing.
Wanyan Aguda was helpless. He no longer cared about the rest of the Jurchen warriors. He led these 35,000 people towards the north.
