When Yanjing issued the King of Qin's edict, King Qin of the two Zhejiang provinces had as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses. Zhao Jinlong was the deputy general of King Qin of the two Zhejiang provinces. He led twelve battalions of soldiers to take the east road to Jinan and then did not dare to go north again, coveting the rewards given by the local government.
Then he led 7,000 Zhejiang troops to defend Jinan.
However, Zhao Jinlong, who was too greedy, put all the rewards allocated by Jinan Prefecture into his own pocket. Except for hundreds of his direct subordinates who received benefits, most of the Zhejiang soldiers did not receive any benefits at all, and they were extremely resentful.
This is the direct source of the Jinan South Gate Incident.
After the war in Jinan broke out, Zhao Jinlong never thought about escaping from the battle. However, the offensive and defensive battles in Jinan were fierce. Other Zhejiang generals such as Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, and Zhou Zhizhong who did not receive the benefits of local rewards were unwilling to defend Jinan.
Before encircling the south gate, they abandoned the south gate and fled together with Zhao Jinlong.
Deserting under such circumstances is a serious crime of genocide, but there is no way. Zhao Jinlong cannot have the courage to lead 400 to 500 confidants to stay and guard Nancheng when all the other Zhejiang soldiers have fled. He can only give in half-heartedly to the rebel generals.
Fleeing south wrapped up.
Fleeing into the southern mountainous area, the Zhejiang soldiers did not disperse, nor did they immediately return to the two Zhejiang provinces. Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other rebel generals must consider that they will be prosecuted for the serious crime of escaping before the battle and causing the fall of Jinan. Besides, many of them
They were all from Haozhou, and Haozhou was captured by the traitor Liu An'er. Although it was also a way out to lead the army to Haozhou to join Liu An'er, but after riding all the way to the north of Tai'an, the rebel generals continued to threaten Zhao Jinlong and surrendered together.
Donglu, together with Zhao Jinlong, took the seat of the right commander of the Han army.
Zhao Jinlong even wanted to die, but he couldn't argue even if he had a hundred mouths to open.
He was the first to commit the crime of escaping from battle and defecting to the Eastern captives. All major crimes that could punish the three tribes were placed on him alone. Zhao Jinlong could only send his trusted followers to ride on the trails, hoping to catch up before the news reached the local officials.
, notify family members to flee.
Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, knew that all the rebel generals were accomplices in the crime. According to the law, he should be executed and his wife and son should be exiled to the army. This was a much lighter crime than Zhao Jinlong's first crime.
If he makes a wrong move, he will be unable to dismount from the tiger. After he leads his troops to surrender, he will be captured by the captives and cavalry to attack Zhangqiu and massacre the city.
If you make the wrong move, all the way back will be blocked, and you will have no choice but to follow Donglu's path to the dark side.
After attacking Zhangqiu and massacring the whole city and more than 20,000 refugees, Zhao Jinlong and the rebels gained the trust of the Eastern captives, and at least the position of the right commander of the newly attached Han army was secure.
After Jinan was captured, the Jinan defenders in the city had no time to break out and evacuate. A few died fighting and most chose to surrender. Yezir Khan used these surrendered troops to supplement Zhao Jinlong and Mo Ji's headquarters.
Regardless of their combat strength, Mo Ji's headquarters attacked Yangxin for several days and suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Therefore, the number of troops under his command increased instead of decreasing, to more than 7,000.
When Zhao Jinlong's tribe abandoned Jinan and fled, although the generals were not dispersed, the ordinary soldiers below fled in large numbers. By the time he was forced to surrender to the Eastern captives, there were only less than 4,000 men, and they were supplemented after the massacre of Zhangqiu City.
More than seven thousand people.
On the night of the 4th, Zhao Jinlong received an order in Zhangqiu to lead his troops to Yangxin to participate in the offensive. Yezir Khan also regarded Yangxin as the last battle to break through the border and invade the south. He stopped sending the main force to continue eastward and began to recover the strategy.
The Jiangdong Left Army showed excellent troop projection capabilities through the sea route. The main force of the captive army had almost no concept of water warfare. Naturally, it was impossible to risk seizing ships and returning to Liaodong by sea at this time.
At dusk on the 6th, Zhao Jinlong led more than 7,000 newly attached Han troops on the right to Zhulongpo outside Yangxin City.
***************
The camp here has been prepared, Zhao Jinlong rushed to Yangxin, and after waiting for the army to rest for a while, he took Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other generals to Beicheng to watch Mo Ji's headquarters attack Yangxin.
Although the soldiers in Moji's headquarters have been replenished in a timely manner and their strength has always been maintained at full strength, their morale has dropped to an unimaginable level.
When Zhao Jinlong arrived, several hundred soldiers of the newly attached Han army were being sent from the left to attack the north gate. They crowded in until they were still seventy steps away from the city gate. They did not wait for the stones and arrows to fall from the top of the city, but just fired from the city gate.
A huge crossbow arrow came out, and the entire charging array was immediately scattered. Some held their shields and stood still, some dodged to the wings, some simply ran away, and some even abandoned their weapons and sat on the ground waiting to die.
There was no one who dared to charge towards the city gate. If it weren't for the pressure from the prisoner supervising team behind them, these attacking soldiers would probably mutiny immediately.
Zhao Jinlong could not imagine the siege situation in the past few days. After all, the military intelligence exchange was only with Liao Liao Ruyu, and it was impossible to record the details of the siege. Even though the Donghu people made it clear that they wanted these newly attached Han troops to go up to the city wall and die, Mo Ji's headquarters was still attacking
It performed very well in Jinan, how could it look like it collapsed in just four or five days?
Zhao Jinlong still remembered how Lin Fu looked weak in Jinan, but was extremely tough at heart. Although he got along coldly at the banquet in Jinan, he never thought that there would be a battle between the two armies above and below the city.
Zhao Jinlong had just rode around from outside the west city. From the city gate to the city head, there were traces of fierce battles. Looking at the trench blockade of the four city gates of Yangxin and the scattered war equipment on the ground, it can be seen that Mo Jiben
There is still a way to organize an siege, and there is a steady stream of soldiers to replenish it, but it is actually beaten to the edge of collapse. The brutality of the battle is really unimaginable.
Zhao Jinlong got off his horse, kowtowed to Ye Jiduo Dy, and said: "The right commander of the Han army, Zhao Jinlong, led his generals to kowtow to Prince Duo Dy..."
Ye Jiduo got up from his chair, squinted at Zhao Jinlong, and said: "No more nonsense, I'm waiting for your right Han army to capture Yangxin for me! How long will it take for you to bring your troops to
Launch an organized siege outside the West City and North City!"
"Our department will be ready before dawn tomorrow!" Zhao Jinlong said.
Mo Jiben's face was ashen. He didn't compete with Zhao Jinlong for superiority. He had now learned Yezier Khan's skills. It seemed that he still had 7,000 troops under his command, which was no better than when he surrendered in Linqing.
There were only a few, but his direct lineage was exhausted in the two sieges, leaving only dozens of old soldiers and personal guards.
If it weren't for Ye Jiduo's troops supervising the battle here, he would not have been able to hold down the more than 7,000 soldiers on the left side of the newly attached Han army, and it was even very likely that these soldiers would mutiny and tear them to pieces.
After all the money was spent, what other choice could Mo Jiben have besides following Donghu all the way to the dark side and becoming Donghu's loyal dog?
Mo Jiben wanted to see how Zhao Jinlong captured Yangxin City.
"Okay!" Seeing that Zhao Jinlong had no intention of delaying anything, Ye Jiduo was in a good mood and said, "I, Donghu, have no precedent for a southerner to be crowned king, but it is not impossible. I will leave the rest of the war to you.
Got it!"
"Zhao Jinlong has an order!" Zhao Jinlong got up from the cold mud, looked at Sun Zhongwu beside him, Shengtianxi, Zhou Zhizhi and other generals, and said coldly, "You listen to the order, I want the three of you to do it before dawn
Complete the deployment of troops, prepare for the attack, and personally lead the troops to attack the city. If there is any delay, military law will be ruthless. If we cannot attack the city in three days, I will chop off the heads of the three of you..." Then he said to Ye Jiduo Dy, "For
All the officers and men spared no effort in attacking the city. One of them had the courage to ask Prince Dody to borrow five hundred warriors to fight and fight bravely. After forming an array with a big sword, anyone who refused to go to the city or retreated without being ordered to be beheaded!"
"Okay, okay, okay," Ye Jiduodi laughed happily, "I will obey you, Xiong Qi, you assign people to Zhao Dutong! Anyone who dares to disobey Zhao Dutong's orders will refuse to go to the city.
Anyone who dares to retreat without being ordered will be killed!"
Both He Xiongqi and Mo Jiben felt extremely strange. Is the Zhao Jinlong in front of them as timid as a mouse, who abandoned Jinan and fled? If Zhao Jinlong had the determination to kill all his direct descendants, maybe Yangxin City could really attack it.
Come down.
Zhao Jinlong's face was as cold as frost. Only Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other rebel generals looked mournful. How could they have imagined that Zhao Jinlong would be so vicious that he would kill with a borrowed knife? If Yangxin could not be captured in three days, Zhao Jinlong would sacrifice their heads.
Military law. If Yangxin was easy to attack, Mo Ji's headquarters wouldn't have to fight until it was about to collapse. But Zhao Jinlong borrowed five hundred captive soldiers for the battle. Outside Yangxin City, there were six or seven thousand captives riding on the side.
Besides attacking the city, what other options could they have?
It was a pity that Mo Jiben had exhausted all of his direct lineage. Zhao Jinlong wished that all of his "direct lineage" had been exhausted and died. The confidants he sent home to report the news had returned, including his parents, wives and concubines, brothers, nephews, and uncles.
All the close relatives between the three servers were brought to justice by the local officials. When he was found guilty of escaping from the battle and surrendering to the Donglu, they would all be sentenced to death.
Zhao Jinlong looked at Sun Zhongwu coldly, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhi and other generals, and thought bitterly in his heart: It's my fault for not sharing the benefits with you; but it's your fault for causing my clan to be exterminated. You won't die until you die.
, how can I resolve the hatred in my heart?
************
Lin Fu had no idea that the rebel general Zhao Jinlong would lead his troops, so he immediately launched a desperate posture to attack the city, which completely overturned his previous understanding of Zhao Jinlong. The key was that he did not know the tortuous details of the Zhejiang soldiers' abandonment.
Lin Fu watched as Zhao Jinlong took advantage of the darkness and quickly deployed in the West City and North City. He had no intention of using his troops restrainedly. Judging from his posture, it would not be a pity to kill all the seven or eight thousand people at once.
Lin Fu frowned, it was really tricky. He originally thought that it would take three or four days for Zhao Jinlong's troops to come over and the intensity of the siege would reach its peak, but he didn't expect that he would have to withstand the strong wind and waves from the beginning! It seems that it will take
He immediately burned the beacon and went ashore via Zhoupu to approach Yangxin.
Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and other Shaowu generals led Zhao Jinlong to attack Yangxin. They were enemies and were extremely jealous. When Chen Dingbang saw Zhao Jin's dragon cavalry watching the military situation outside the city, he was so angry that he gritted half of his teeth.
"The Jiangdong Left Army and the Jinzhong Army should not come to compete with our Shao Wu Army to become this death squad!" Geng Quanshan took off the saber from his waist, handed it to Lin Fu, and said, "Master Lin, if I die in battle unfortunately,
Since we can’t find the body, please ask Mr. Lin to send this knife to my hometown in Jiangxi, so that my father and mother can think about it after seeing it.”
