The Mongolian troops in the east seemed to be chopping melons and vegetables. The Ding navy in the west shouted that they had been ordered to come to the rescue and to suppress the rebels on behalf of the servants, but in fact their intentions were clear.
The general who was ordered to take charge of the two directions originally sent people to rush to report the letter and ask for help, but soon there was no sound, only the broken troops were walking around in large groups.
Anzhen could only sneer. This situation was really ridiculous.
Not long after he arrived in Hebei, he reorganized his troops and went south to Shandong. Although the result was not satisfactory, he had a confrontation with the Heding navy. Now he has been working hard for a year, thinking that he can show his power, but who knows that the army is slightly alarmed and immediately falls apart.
After a year of military training, the results are not as good as before.
Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?
If you think about it carefully, it's actually not absurd.
The decline of the Jurchens was the inevitable result of the growing strength of the Jin Kingdom. With the stability of the country, the vast territory, and the high-status Jurchen nobles, they were immersed in a state of stability and prosperity, while the Jurchens at the grassroots level continued to integrate into the farming environment and lost their ability to shoot and hunt.
The soil for practicing war also lost the desire for war and plunder. Since the Sejong Dynasty, the Jin army has included the Liao and Han people, soldiers from foreign tribes, and the proportion of Jurchens in the army has continued to decrease.
When the Great Mongolia rose from the plateau, the Jin army lost consecutive battles and lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Among them, the absolute number of Jurchens was not high, but because the total population of Jurchens was limited, their relative proportion was quite large.
It is terrible. It can be said that among the Jurchens, many of the strong and martial men who have served on the frontiers for generations have been ruined by the imperial court.
Under this situation, Pusan Anzhen used force to recruit Hebei Bamengan, incorporated a large number of Jurchen men into the army, and trained them strictly. In the process, various military prefectures in Hebei were rioted far and near. In some Jurchen households, if Ding men were
They are all strong and can take everything at once, so that the neighbors are moved with weeping and the roads are filled with complaints.
From the perspective of Pusan Anzhen, after his failure to expand to Shandong, he learned from the pain and followed Guo Ning's military household system to rebuild Meng'an Mouke, replacing the original Han soldiers with Jurchens whom he felt were reliable, and added
Strict training is necessary for the revitalization of the Kingdom of Jin.
But if you think about it from the perspective of ordinary Jurchens, times have changed, and it's all in vain to seek a sword, right?
When Guo Ning arrived in Shandong, he saw that the local Jurchens were struggling to overcome poverty and barely survive by providing water to private merchants at sea. The same was true for most Jurchens in Hebei. They were either farmers or
They were merchants, petty officials, or even poor people working as sharecroppers, but they were not warriors.
They haven't touched a weapon in generations.
Even if they undergo rigorous training and are forcibly molded into warriors, can they really fight? Are they really willing to fight?
Can they be like the Mongols, with barbaric blood flowing, eager to plunder and massacre? Can they be like the soldiers of the Ding Navy, who have suffered all the suffering in the world, eager to fight to change their fate?
Pusan Anzhen believed that the answer should be positive. So he had the courage to lead troops to fight and reach the central capital. But now he knows that the vast majority of Jurchens are not what he thought.
Obviously there were more Jurchens, and it was clear that the narrow terrain to the east of the hillock was not difficult to defend, but when the officers and soldiers of the Hebei Army saw the Mongols and Han people rushing towards them, they suddenly felt that they had no strength at all. They
There was no will to resist, and they either screamed and ran away, or kneeled down in despair and begged for mercy. Some people were lying on the ground, looking up at the sky, and posing as if they were ready to kill.
The only ones who could barely maintain their formation were a small number of guards around Pusan Anzhen.
These people were not soldiers recruited by Pusan Anzhen in Hebei, but private soldiers who served as the core force of the Pusan family. Pusan Anzhen relied on this force to protect the fleeing disciple Shan Yi in Zhongdu City, and even Hu Shahu
I didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.
Pusan Anzhen felt that with this real elite in hand, there would always be a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, the Jurchens who fled to both sides retreated again and again. Those frightened people lost their direction and subconsciously gathered towards where the general was. In the blink of an eye, countless people crowded around the handsome flag and formed a group.
Even if it’s dark, this is so conspicuous!
Pusan Anzhen ordered the commander's flag to be lowered, blew out the pine torch, and then took off his brocade robe and blended into the ranks of the guards. However, the majestic formation of the guards with bright armor was the best target in itself, and the defeated soldiers turned back.
When I came back, I saw them immediately and they kept gathering.
"Fuck them all! Get together like this, are you afraid that the enemies on both sides won't be able to attack you?" Pusan Anzhen cursed angrily, then pointed at the subordinates around him and ordered: "Go and let them disperse."
, Don’t block my way down the mountain! Let’s leave quickly, and if anyone blocks the way, we’ll kill them immediately!”
The subordinates looked at each other.
It is true that they are private soldiers who have followed the Pusan family for many years, but precisely because they are close confidants, they can increasingly see the problem with Pusan Anzhen.
This son of one of the few generals in the Kingdom of Jin has outstanding talents in both military and political fields. When it comes to strategizing, he does have insights that ordinary people cannot match. It is a pity that he has enjoyed wealth since childhood and rarely experienced hardships, so he is so heroic in daily life.
, how often you fall asleep at critical moments.
Under the gradually dimming night, thousands of Jurchen soldiers were being driven back to the top of the high slope. Their energy and spirit were all broken, and they had regarded the last elite of this army as their last support. Where could they
Will they obey the order and disperse? If they wield their swords to kill people at this time, how can they know that these soldiers will not react violently?
Now there are Mongolians like wolves and tigers to the east, and the Dinghai navy to the west is fierce and fierce. Seeing that these two families are rushing up the high slope, it is a matter of front and rear.
The Mongols were naturally a terrifying and powerful enemy. No one thought that the loss of those thousands of men just now would seriously weaken the powerful regime that dominated the grasslands. The strength of the navy was beyond everyone's imagination.
They can even defeat Qie Xue's army! Such a powerful army is in Shandong, and my servant San Xuan has once plotted their territory?
No soldier is a fool. No one thinks that it is possible for one's own side to repel the enemy and escape by surrounding the Pusan Envoy. At most, the Pusan Envoy should not die in the hands of the defeated troops. If he can do it later, he will ask for a price.
And in Gu, maybe everyone still has a chance to survive.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if you protect the Pusan envoys and break through the flanking attack of the two armies, do you still have to run into the wilderness in the hope of escaping the pursuit of the light cavalry?
I have seen the Mongolian cavalry, the Dinghai navy cavalry, and the guards!
Everyone's thoughts changed rapidly. Several guard commanders wearing fine armor did not move at all, so the other guards did not move either.
At this time, the important generals in the Hebei army did not know where they had gone. They were still working hard, and only their servants were scattered and stayed at home.
This fierce general from the same clan who served as the servant of Anzhen fought back and forth for a while around a collapsed ancient tower on the edge of the stone hill, as if he could not run out of strength. His left arm was scratched with a scimitar, and it immediately opened a huge
The bloody mouth, the muscles and tendons inside the bloody mouth were severed, the pale bones could be seen, and the blood spurted out like a waterfall. But he shouted at the top of his lungs, and stabbed Mongolia who was trying to rush up from the bottom of the mountain road with one knife after another.
People chop at random.
The Mongolians below suddenly threw a torch up, and the firelight illuminated his entire figure.
Then several arrows flew at the same time, piercing his head, abdomen and shoulders. Pusanliujia dropped the straight knife and fell to the ground. He looked at the sky, but the sky was dark and he could not see anything.
.
Beside him, there were the shouts of Mongolians, the crash of cavalry, and even the neighing of horses. The reins of one horse were pulled hard by its owner, and he took a step forward, took two steps back, and stepped across the ground unwillingly.
The servants on the slope stayed home, completely dissipating his consciousness.
The Mongolian man who came up with the horse was covered in blood and looked fierce. He was Shiji Hutuhu who had previously commanded the Xue army to attack.
His previous failure made him face unbearable humiliation. Fortunately, Genghis Khan gave him a second chance, which he had to seize firmly.
When he led his troops past the obstacle of Pusanliu's home and stood on the platform at the top of Liaoshi Hill, all the Jurchens who saw him fell silent. Shiji's gaze looked across them, betting
We arrived at the east side of the platform. In that direction, the Ding navy officer followed closely a beard general, and appeared almost at the same time.
