The rain came and went quickly. The soldiers and horses of each battalion were slowly gathering together, and the rain had stopped.
When Yang Hao heard that Zhao Dezhao was injured before the battle, he immediately set off to visit him. Zhao Dezhao was a prince and a prince, and his status was second only to Zhao Guangyi in the entire Song Dynasty. Yang Hao once patrolled the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers with him, and worked together as chief and deputy angels.
To solve the food shortage crisis in Kaifeng, both the public and the private heard that he was injured and it was time to visit him. What's more, there is a big secret in common between the two of them.
Since he was going to go, he had to do it openly and aboveboard to avoid arousing suspicion. After Yang Hao organized his camp, he ordered his guards to hoist the Yang flag, board the car and drive openly to Zhao Dezhao's military camp.
Zhao Dezhao had no choice but to be injured. It would be fine if he didn't know the truth about his father's death. Now that he knew, how could he believe that his second uncle still had some kindness towards him? But the more careful he was in his heart, the less he dared to reveal any flaws on the surface and let Zhao Guangyi
There were doubts about him. At that time, Zhao Guangyi, as the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, was going to fight in person in his camp. As the chief general, Zhao Dezhao had to stop him no matter what, and he had to be better than the generals accompanying Zhao Guangyi.
He had to act in fear. If Zhao Guangyi forced him like that, he would have to go into battle himself.
However, Zhao Dezhao was very wary of Zhao Guangyi, especially because he was so angry that he secretly revealed something to his cousin Zhao Dechong, who was always close to him, and he was always worried that his second uncle would know that he had learned the truth about his father's death.
Now Zhao Dezhao had made a show and forced him to go into battle in person, with rolling logs and stones and rain of arrows in front of him. What he was more worried about was the cold arrows coming from behind. Zhao Guangyi had appointed Murong Qiuzui as the supervisor of the army, and the deputy general Gao Yin
He is also a general of the Forbidden Army. Who knows if he has been completely bribed by his second uncle?
Therefore, Zhao Dezhao had to, had no choice but to allow himself to be hit by an arrow and avoid danger. Otherwise, with his dignity as a prince and his body as a prince, the emperor would naturally not be able to put himself in danger. He was inferior to ten thousand people.
If the prince above has some shortcomings, it is also a heavy responsibility that the soldiers cannot bear. He is protected by his own soldiers wearing armor and shields. How can he be easily hit by a stray arrow?
Zhao Dezhao "took the lead bravely and could not dodge" and was hit by an arrow in the thigh. Although gold sore medicine was applied to the wound, a large piece of flesh was gouged out because the arrow was coated with arsenic and filth, so the wound was unbearably painful.
, but he felt at ease: "Second uncle has always flaunted his benevolence and showed his love for the late emperor's children to his subjects. My injury is so serious, he can't force me to go into battle anymore, right? I'll just rest here.
He would never dare to take the risk of having someone assassinate me in the military tent."
Sure enough, when he heard that Zhao Dezhao was injured, Zhao Guangyi hurried over to visit him in person. He asked about his well-being, applied medicine and bandages to his nephew in person, and scolded Murong Qiuzui, Gao Yin and other officials for their poor protection in front of Zhao Dezhao.
Two more personal doctors were left behind to take care of his injuries. Finally, they held his hand and shared memories of their late brother Zhao Kuangyin. Then they shed a few crocodile tears and left, looking back three times.
Not long after Zhao Guangyi left, all the battalion commanders came to visit one after another. Zhao Dezhao lay on the couch and answered questions one by one. There was a lot of bustle. He had just seen off a group of guests when the guards came in to announce that Yang Hao, the military marshal of Longyou in Hexi Province,
When they arrived, Zhao Dezhao was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show anything strange on his face. He just said lightly: "Ah, Captain Yang is here. Please invite me soon."
Deng Xiuer has been wandering around the Song Army's camp for more than ten days. After ten days, her beauty has long disappeared. Her face is unkempt and covered with dust. She looks really miserable. But when she thinks of her father's throat splattered with blood, she thinks of her mother.
The cold corpse hanging on the beam was like a fire burning in her heart. This fire supported her strong fighting spirit. Although her cheeks were getting thinner, her eyes were always shining with unyielding brilliance.
In the distant mountains, she couldn't tell which military camp was where the enemy was, but once she got down the mountain, there were camps everywhere, with soldiers patrolling in front and behind the camps, and she couldn't get close. Although Deng Xiuer had been taught by famous teachers
Although he was skilled in martial arts, he was still a layman and completely confused about this military formation. Relying on his flexible skills, Deng Xiuer observed and approached. After more than ten days, he gradually became familiar with the military camp's patrols, schedules, sentries, etc.
After getting some understanding, she finally took action today when it rained heavily when the battle had just ended and the battalions were retreating to their own formations.
Deng Xiuer was so covered in mud that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female. She sneaked closer in the rain and attacked a soldier. She stripped off his military uniform and put it on herself. Then she went to the front of the military formation and worked with others to lift a wounded soldier, one step at a time.
They sneaked into the military camp on the slippery ground. The soldiers were all covered in mud. In more than half a month under Jinyang City, they had never had the benefit of taking a bath. It was not unusual to be covered in mud at this time. In addition, just now
After withdrawing, the soldiers had to go through a lot of chaos when they returned to their base camp. Deng Xiuer was trapped in the chaos and would not be discovered for a while.
Deng Xiuer did not dare to ask anyone about Yang Hao's camp, so she searched around with her eyes. Suddenly she saw a large flag standing in the camp. After the rain, the flag was hanging down. It took a long time to unfold it by the wind, but it had the word Zhao on it.
Deng Xiuer couldn't help being disappointed, and was about to take advantage of the chaos to move to other camps. After turning around a few felt tents, she suddenly saw a large flag with Yang characters in the distance slowly walking toward the army. Deng Xiuer's heart skipped a beat and she immediately clenched her sword.
Handle chased after him...
In Shaxiong Ridge, deep in the dense forest, Liu Jiye looked at Jinyang City in the distance and the military camps under Jinyang City in the distance, his eyebrows were furrowed and his face was very heavy.
A young general hurriedly walked to his side. This young general was originally very handsome, but his military uniform had been torn into pieces in the dense forest. In addition, he had not washed himself for many days, and his hair was unkempt. If it weren't for the hair on his waist,
The sword is still there and he looks like a beggar.
"Dad, today they have captured the city of Jinyang. If we don't fight out, I'm afraid... Jinyang City will not be saved. My mother and brother are still in the city..."
"The emperor is also in the city!"
Liu Jiye abruptly cut off his words, and Yang Yanlang hurriedly said: "Yes." He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Dad, the soldiers have been hiding in this high mountain for more than ten days, and they eat cold food every day.
What we drank was cold water. The weather in March is still cold, and many soldiers are already sick. If we continue like this, I am afraid that before Zhao Guangyi can break the city, we...we will have lost 30% of our combat strength."
Liu Jiye certainly understands what losing 30% of the combat effectiveness means to an army. It is by no means a simple loss of combat effectiveness that can be divided and calculated. The loss of 30% of the combat effectiveness of an army is enough to defeat the entire army on the battlefield. It has a great impact on morale.
The loss of fighting spirit brings fetters to the entire army, affecting at least 70% of the combat effectiveness.
Liu Jiye raised his head and looked at the sky, but still didn't speak.
Yang Yanlang said again: "The people guarding the city are all old, weak and remnant soldiers as well as young and strong people. After more than ten days of fighting, although the location is favorable, I am afraid the casualties will not be small. If we delay any longer, even if we have solved the battle of Jinyang."
It's difficult, then the country will be destroyed, so what's the point of doing this..."
"What a bastard!" Liu Jiye stopped his son abruptly and said in a deep voice: "A man has things he can do and things he can't do. The most important thing is to sacrifice one's life and forget one's own death. With such a balance of everything, why not be a businessman!"
Yang Yanlang lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Jiye took a breath and suddenly said: "Tonight, there will be heavy fog."
"Um?"
Liu Jiye ordered: "There is no limit on the dried meat, water and wine that we carry today, so that everyone can eat enough. Order the whole army to prepare and move away the thorns and hidden objects in the middle of the mountain. Tonight, we will attack at night
camp!"
Yang Yanlang cheered up, straightened his waist, clasped his fists and said, "General, I will obey your order!"
He turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Jiye suddenly said again: "How is Yanxun's injury... how is it?"
Yang Yanlang stopped walking: "There is no medicine on the mountain, but the situation here is really bad. I hide in the forest all day without seeing the light, and the third brother's injury never gets better."
Liu Jiye sighed and said slowly: "Yanlang, let him stay. If our father and son leave tonight and never come back, our family will have a descendant."
Yang Yanlang responded in a low voice, turned around and left.
Liu Jiye straightened his back, like a silver gun with its holster removed. He stood there upright, with the wind blowing his long beard on his chest, and a murderous look slowly appeared in his eyes.
The wind rustles and the pines and waves move.
It's not that he didn't understand Yang Yanlang's words. He had led troops for many years and experienced hundreds of battles. How could he not estimate how heavy the casualties would be in the city under the fierce attack of the Song Army's army? How could he not know that resolving this disaster might not necessarily be enough?
It can bring long-term peace and stability to the Han Dynasty.
However, is it wrong to resist enemy aggression?
There are too many things, spirit, belief, responsibility and integrity, which are enough to override life.
As Liu Jiye said: A real man has something to do and something not to do. The only thing that is righteous is to sacrifice one's life and forget one's own death. Treat other people's sacrifices as idiots and regard other people's beliefs as boring. These people are truly sad.
People who are so compassionate can regard Huangfu Jixun and Wang Mou of the Republic of China as heroes who understand the general situation and the major situation.
Fortunately, our nation has never lacked heroes, such as Zhang Xun of Suiyang who devoured mountains and rivers, cannibalized people and defended the city, the Eight-Character Army who dedicated his life to serving the country and killed gold thieves, Shi Kefa of Yangzhou who fought to the death for a city...
Loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and righteousness have never been lost. Boyi and Shuqi starved to death without eating Zhousu's grain, and Jiezi pushed and hugged a tree to death. Since ancient times, they have never been separated from our backbones.
The actions of historical figures must be considered in the context of history. Otherwise, compared with those who stood on the earth in 2010, they only saw violations of traffic rules from "The Back" written by Zhu Ziqing in 1925.
, so it’s just as ridiculous to worry about teaching children bad things like calling them beasts!
Under the Xiong Killing Ridge, an army stood solemnly dressed in ragged clothes, but with extremely high fighting spirit. Liu Jiye walked to the front of the formation with a silver gun in hand, stepping through the fog on the ground, like a god of war walking out of the mist.
The soldier raised his shield and gun, and struck the ground at the same time. There was a deep "boom" sound, like a low roar from the earth.
Liu Jiye thrust his silver spear into the ground and began to remove the armor in front of the entire army. He took off the armor worth a hundred gold and threw it on the ground with a "clang" sound. Liu Jiye was only wearing cloth clothes and reached out to grab the silver armor.
Qiang glanced at the figures hidden in the mist and said in a deep voice: "The life and death of all soldiers depends on today. It is very likely that after this battle, none of us will be able to survive."
The three armies stood in awe, and only Liu Jiye's voice echoed in the valley: "But now the enemy is approaching the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are in danger. How can we, a man, be humble and beg for our lives? We have to do our best to live, and to die will be dead! It is not wrong to kill oneself to be benevolent.
Rejoice!"
All the officers and soldiers of the three armies who were wearing iron or leather armor were disarmed and wore only cloth clothes. They shouted in unison: "I am willing to obey the general's orders!"
Liu Jiye slowly raised his silver spear, turned around, towards the direction of the Song army emperor's camp, and stabbed hard at the fog in front of him, and said loudly: "Come with me, all the soldiers, rush into the Song camp, capture and kill
The Dog Emperor of Song Dynasty!"
"Kill!" The three armies shouted, and Liu Jiye rushed into the fog...
In the Zhejia camp, Chi Zhong was playing with the sword in his hand under the lamp. It was a good sword, with a green shark skin scabbard, a special white eye on the front as a natural pattern, a golden mouth, hilt, and tandem.
The gilt hollow carved dragons on the sheath mouth, sheath tail, and lifting beam parts are all movable. When walking, the metal components collide with each other and make a mighty sound. When the sword is pulled out of the sheath, the yellow velvet hand holds the sword, and the sound is clear and long, like a dragon.
Yin, the sword body trembles, the cold light shines, dazzling the eyes.
"What a good sword! It's really a good sword!" Chizhong narrowed his eyes with a smile and praised it full of praise.
Deputy General Xiao Chen joked: "In this attack on the city, the generals of each battalion took the lead and were extremely brave. They were all rewarded with official furniture, but only the general was given imperial weapons and equipment. Haha, as the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. It seems that Cao Cao
What your Lord said is true, the officials really appreciate the general's bravery. Unfortunately, the general is under the command of General Zhe, so the officials can only reward the general with a sword. Otherwise, with the general's bravery and military exploits, hehe
..., why should we just stop at one side’s defense?”
Chi Zhong suddenly changed his expression and shouted sternly: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
When Xiao Chen saw that he was angry, he retreated sarcastically. Chi Zhong gently wiped the blade of the sword with his fingertips, but his eyes slowly showed a thoughtful look...
Xiao Chen exited the tent, and a dense fog rushed towards his face. Xiao Chen waved his hands to disperse it. He looked around and saw that it was difficult to see anything ten steps away. He couldn't help blurting out: "It's such a big fog!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard something far away.
There was a faint sound of fighting in the distance. Xiao Chen couldn't help but be surprised and said in amazement: "Did the Han army take advantage of the fog to attack the camp?"
Yang Jiye's original plan was to deplete the Song army as much as possible until the Song army was exhausted and seriously injured, until the Song army broke through the city. At that moment, the Song army's casualties must have been very serious, and the most important point was that by the time the city was captured,
At that time, although the Song army abandoned all the siege equipment, they rushed into the city one after another. Who among the generals would not want to seize the power of destroying the country and capturing the emperor? At that time, all the soldiers and horses of the battalions would move at the fastest speed.
Crowded into the city, even if the city has completely lost the power of street fighting and 200,000 troops rush into the city, there will be chaos. The commander will not be able to find generals, he will not be able to find soldiers, and it will be impossible to maintain the smooth flow of orders.
At this time, all the remaining soldiers in the city have withdrawn into the inner city. If the remaining soldiers can no longer rely on the inner city wall to defeat the wolves and tigers of the enemy, they will light the firewood and kerosene that have been placed on the city wall to stop the enemy with a huge fire.
offensive.
At this time, the emperor's camp, which was originally placed behind the front army, would be at its weakest defense and least vigilant. In addition, the Song camp's defense measures were mainly placed in the front. His army suddenly came out from the rear.
The general can go straight into the middle of the army and kill Zhao Guangyi as if he were in an uninhabited territory. As long as Zhao Guangyi dies, the armies of the Song Dynasty will not be subordinate to each other. There are imperial troops, local armies, and among them the three vassals of the northwest who have secret intentions. There will inevitably be internal chaos.
, had no intention of taking on the challenge. Even if there were millions of troops, they would have completely lost their fighting power by then.
What is particularly important is that when an emperor dies, what affects the country, the country, and the officials' own future and destiny is the support of the new emperor. Two emperors in the Song Dynasty died one after another in a short period of time, and they did not establish a prince. The court was close to the descendants of the previous emperor.
For the support of the new emperor, officials and officials close to the descendants of the present generation will inevitably have an internal struggle. All officials will focus on the Song Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty will be able to maintain peace in a short time.
As for the long-term plan, maybe we can regain the blessing of the Khitan, maybe the civil strife in the Song Dynasty can stimulate the ambitions of the northwest vassals and form an alliance with them, or maybe the day of national destruction and city destruction will come one day.
It's not something he can control as a general. All he has to do is fulfill his own responsibilities.
In Liu Jiye's view, waiting for the city to be broken and surviving in the face of death was the best opportunity to seize the leader and kill Zhao Guangyi. He was 70% sure that he could seize the victory when hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed into the city, but he was unable to do so in time due to command failure.
Kill the Emperor of Song before returning reinforcements. However, he could imagine how many people died in the city every day, and how much suffering he endured for this every day. He did not expect that with the tenacity of his soldiers, he would die all day and night.
Ji Zang is located on a high mountain. He drinks ice and snow every day and eats cold food without daring to light a single smoke. In half a month, many soldiers have become seriously ill. If it continues, not only will the people in the city be killed and injured, but most of his troops will also be lost.
No matter how powerful the battle is, it is difficult to guarantee success.
Today, heavy fog fell from the sky. This may be another good opportunity given to him by God. Liu Jiye decisively changed his plan. Although this plan was more risky than the original plan, he could no longer take care of it.
The main camps of the Song Army were all facing Jinyang City, with ditches, horses, thorns, and heavy troops all deployed in front. Zhao Guangyi's camp was located in the back and set up against the mountain. There was also a small group of forbidden troops on the mountain to serve as a guard.
, other than that there are not many defensive measures. In the heavy fog, the Song Army camp will undoubtedly have to strengthen its vigilance, but this vigilance is mainly aimed at the direction of Jinyang. His mission is only one: regardless of sacrifice, be as quick as a sharp knife.
Insert the emperor's camp, kill Zhao Guangyi, and relieve the siege of Jinyang.
The ragged but high-spirited Liu Jiye's troops, wearing straw sandals and only cloth clothes, carrying cold swords, guns, swords and halberds, quickly moved towards Zhao Guangyi's camp under the cover of fog...
