It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, until now, the Zhongdu Imperial Court and Guo Ning's Zhou Guogongdu Marshal's Mansion have always regarded themselves as the Dajin orthodoxy.
Ever since Zhang Xingxin's misfortune, North Korea's literati who were good at writing Chinese quickly recognized the situation. They spent a lot of time writing slogans and scolding the Kaifeng court. They said every word that the puppet emperor and puppet government in Kaifeng had destroyed the stability and unity.
Trying to split the Jin Dynasty and destroy the splendid country left by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong is actually the eternal sinner of the Jurchens.
But the lower the level of the military and civilians, the less they paid attention to the Jin Dynasty. Especially in the six states on both sides of the Yuhe River on the West Road of Hebei Province, Li Ting boldly canceled all Meng'an plots and announced that he would not recognize women at all.
The existence of real people. As a result, many local Jurchens claimed that they were Bohai people or Huli Gai people. Some of them acted very quickly, and they were even promoted.
This situation, coupled with a stern edict from Zhongdu, can make people roll with laughter.
Most of Li Ting's subordinates followed Li Ting's temperament and were obsessed with the change of dynasty. So when they arrived at the fighting ground, they confidently cursed the opponent as the Jurchen's dog.
However, the roar of the Ding Navy soldiers did not make the Jin Army soldiers in front of them feel ashamed. Perhaps deep in the queue, some people slowed down a little bit, but more people came up with filial piety,
For the soldiers and civilians living under the rule of the Kaifeng imperial court, aren't everyone around them the same? They have been dogs for hundreds of years? They are used to bowing to the Jurchens, and are used to being enslaved, exploited, and driven
With courage and loyalty.
What's more, Wanyan Heda really treated them with all his heart. In the past two years, Wanyan Heda was a general they had almost never seen before, who could put the people first and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The Kaifeng court also
He really tried to find a way to do the hard work, so he was able to cope with the difficulties when millions of Jurchens went south to seek refuge.
Even though the treatment that the people received was not very good, it was better than in earlier years. At that time, people did not know what to do in the morning and at night, and their lives were often in danger. At least there is still one life now! If you fight for this life, maybe you can
Earn a life for your parents, wife and children at home!
This is enough for the soldiers to follow Wanyan Heda and charge for a kill regardless of life and death!
We are both Han'er, so what? Can't there be war between Han'er and Han'er? If we have to look into it carefully, weren't the Song people in the Southern Dynasty also Han'er? A hundred years ago, weren't everyone members of the Zhao Guan family?
But in the past hundred years, there have been countless desperate fights between Han'er and Song people!
The blood of millions of people has been shed, so why care about today?
The Jin army continued to charge deeper into the camp, and all the resisting horses outside the camp were overthrown, and more and more troops poured in.
In contrast to the crazy attack of the Jin army without any formation, the Ding navy officers continued to form a rigorous and measured formation, and the officers continued to shout and supervise, and even led the soldiers to launch a counterattack in person.
The dark rain curtain blocked the sight, so few people could grasp the overall situation of the battlefield. There were only countless hand-to-hand battles involving a few dozen people, which started and ended on both sides of the road, and ended again. Blood mixed with rain flowed to the ground, like
Huge raindrops create ripples on the ground.
The loudly roaring soldier attracted the attention of many Jin soldiers, and the most ferocious warriors in the area rushed forward. They used various weapons to beat him wildly, slashed at him, and stabbed him with spears and spears.
The soldier roared and swung his sword, cutting the front soldier in half in half. However, the force was too great and the heavy sword he swung could not be recovered. Instead, he received continuous blows on his body and head.
His armor and stomach were strong, and he was not seriously injured, but his head was buzzing, and his whole body was unable to stand due to repeated shocks, and he staggered back.
The ground had turned into a muddy mass under the influence of rain and violent trampling. Everyone was panting heavily and wading forward and back. Once they fell into such a muddy ground, they wanted to get up.
But that's troublesome, someone might take the opportunity to rush up and kill you.
The soldier quickly reached back to his waist, trying to untie the leather band and remove the armor and stomach. He was in a hurry to apply it. How could it be so easy to remove the armor?
When he was panicking, Zhang Peng reached out and supported him. In front of the two of them, another tarpaulin flew up. It turned out that Lao Liu and several companions had also lifted up the tent at the other end and covered it.
Several enemy troops intending to pursue them.
These Jin soldiers immediately swung their knives and cut the tent into long pieces. However, this time was enough for another group of Zhang Peng's subordinates to line up in two horizontal lines and stab each other with more than a dozen spears.
The Jin army wrapped in the tent was killed almost immediately. The Ding navy officers stepped on the accumulated water and blood, then stepped on the entangled corpses, and then continued forward, standing on the edge of the road and constantly poking at the people running forward on the road.
enemy.
If it were during the day, such a fighting method would immediately result in a hail of arrows, and everyone would die like a hedgehog.
However, the heavy rain and dark night made the Jin Army muster up strong courage and continuously attack in depth. It also deprived them of the ability to see the situation clearly. They could only rush forward in waves, but no one could command in time to pay attention to each one.
The camp left behind them had to deal with the Dinghai soldiers who kept emerging from the camp and forming formations.
The officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy also did not receive commands, but with veterans and capable officers as their backbone, they naturally possess extraordinary tenacity and the determination to fight independently in complex environments.
They could also distinguish the steady drumbeat of the Chinese army headquarters from the fierce fighting sounds, so they were sure that the war was still under the control of their own commander, and everyone only needed to continue fighting.
Even so, such a battle is extremely dangerous. Every group of Ding navy officers who blocked or delayed the enemy's intrusion were struggling on the edge of capsizing.
The enemy is surging like a tidal wave, and can easily knock down your own team. Occasionally, after a few breaths, the enemy becomes slightly sparse, and there are dead people falling everywhere on the ground, seriously injured people with their internal organs flowing, and lightly injured people rolling all over the ground.
The electric light in the sky filled up his sight. The frequency of electric light flashing in the sky was lower than at the beginning. Once it flashed once in a while, Zhang Peng could see the pale body, the bright red blood, the dirty mud, and hear the miserable screams.
This hell-like scene can scare a new recruit into madness. Fortunately, there are many veterans in the Ding Navy, and Zhang Peng has also been on the battlefield for a long time.
He didn't mind the tragic situation and didn't care about the wounded at all. He just took advantage of every breathing moment to reorganize his queue and gather his men together to form a small square or circular formation that echoed each other.
Before the correction was over, there was the roar of huge footsteps, the roar from the heart when a person runs at full strength, and the screams of the injured when they were trampled alive.
Countless voices suddenly filled his ears, and countless people ran past him. Some people jumped and slashed at him, and he stabbed him straight into the stomach.
The man screamed wildly, stretched out his hand to grab the straight knife stuck in his stomach, and stabbed forward with his dagger, trying to kill Zhang Peng together.
The fierce battle consumed Zhang Peng's physical strength. He was unable to draw the knife for a while. Instead, he was stabbed in the shoulder and blood spurted out. Zhang Peng had no choice but to let go of the palm holding the knife and looked at the man with a sword that penetrated his chest and abdomen.
The straight knife continued to run along the road like a madman, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.
This person cannot run very far and will soon fall to the ground and be trampled into a pulp by his companions.
Zhang Peng gasped and pulled out the dagger with his left hand. At the same time, the soldier who had been fighting beside Zhang Peng was hit by the sharp ax swung from an angle.
No matter what kind of iron armor, it is impossible to withstand the direct swing of an iron ax weighing more than ten kilograms. Huge gaps appeared in the stomach, robe, skin, bones and flesh in front of the armored soldier, like an overly plump one.
The pods burst into bloom like that.
The Jin Army warrior who swung a heavy ax to kill the soldier was the first to bear the brunt. His head and face were covered by the smelly solid or liquid, and the rain could not wash it away for a while. The next moment, his calf tendon was cut off by Lao Liu who was leaning over to fight.
tendon, and fell to the ground screaming in pain.
When Lao Liu was about to rush forward to replenish his wounds, he was suddenly hugged by another Jin sergeant. The two of them rolled and fell into the pond behind where rainwater had accumulated.
At this time, the sound of charging and killing gradually approached the Chinese army.
Li Ting sneered twice.
"Wanyan Heda just wanted to catch us off guard, break up our army's organization in one fell swoop, disrupt our command system, drag both sides to the same level, and then win in a chaotic battle... It's a pity that his method is useless at all.
, I, Li Erlang of Zhongdu, have fought for ten years and trained as a soldier for ten years. What kind of situation have I never seen? You want to use this method to capture me, just a dream!"
The generals around him exchanged glances with each other, and they all felt that their commander was bragging again.
The reason why the Jin army charged so hard was to cause chaos in Ding Haijun, but Ding Haijun refused to be in chaos. Their huge military formation was like a sponge, constantly absorbing and breaking down the enemies rushing in, weakening them from all sides.
However, this method of responding to a surprise attack was not Li Ting's sudden decision, but an original part of the military drill code, which had been specially trained several times before.
Therefore, if we have to praise him, it should be attributed to the enrichment of the army's grassroots level over the past year and the continuous improvement of training levels. I'm afraid it has little to do with Li Erlang's self-proclaimed ten years of training.
Li Ting's troops at various military governors were at the forefront. They were the first to implement all-level training for grassroots officers and the first to complete specialized training in accordance with military regulations. This was because Zhou Guogong particularly trusted Li Ting and wanted to teach him a strong army.
, or was it because Zhou Guogong was worried that Li Ting would easily get angry, so he used a well-trained army to restrain him?
Who knows.
However, this Ying Navy Commander was worthy of being a powerful general under Zhou Guogong. Everyone was sure of one thing, that is, Wanyan Heda was definitely no match for Li Ting, and Li Ting was just waiting for Wanyan Heda to come and lead him to his death.
