Since he knew that there was still a war, why did he relax so much? Zhao Fang was a little confused. If these were his subordinates, he would have rushed to ask them, but he would ignore them and call them with a matter-of-fact expression.
The horse leaves.
When everyone was about to return to the general's flag, Ni Yi asked: "Then what is Mr. Zhao Fang talking about?"
"He said that the Jurchens still have available troops in the city and are about to strike back now."
"Hmph..." Ni Yi was not surprised, and only exhaled heavily through his nostrils: "Just now, he was blending in with the Jurchens, and it was he who harmed Li Erlang and others, and it is he who is doing the selling now! As expected, these Song people are all
They are all human beings!"
All the generals nodded: "Just have a fight in front of them to let them know what a strong soldier in the world is."
Ni glanced at the general and chuckled twice: "Don't worry about those, just keep an eye on these two officials of the Song Dynasty. The Duke will use them in the future."
"Don't worry!" The generals gave Ni a military salute, turned back, and continued to glare at Zhao Fang.
Zhao Fang was looking forward to it, wondering if there would be any words coming from this, but in the end, there was none, he just stared.
He stepped forward and opened his mouth. Before he could speak, he waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, no matter how many Jurchens come, we can win!"
Zhao Fang retreated to a distance and couldn't help but said: "Have you been prepared? Guo Ning has rushed into the fire scene. These cavalrymen look loose. What preparations are there?"
Xuan Zhen beside him couldn't help but shake his head.
"Yanzhi, please don't talk too much and wait patiently... Maybe the navy has never taken the power of the Jurchens seriously from beginning to end!"
"This is too much to say. The fire is still burning in the city, and tens of thousands of people are still fighting outside the city. How dare Ding Haijun be so arrogant?"
At this point, Zhao Fang's expression suddenly became serious. He thought for a long time and overturned his words: "Maybe, it is not necessarily arrogant."
Next to him, Xuan Zhen frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Yeah, maybe it's not necessarily arrogance."
Lin'anxing usually regarded Ding Haijun as a military group that usurped power by force. The cronies of Prime Minister Shi's family occasionally joked in private, comparing Guo Ningfang to Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty during the Chenqiao mutiny.
Emperor Taizu's virtue, benevolence and filial piety are naturally beyond the reach of a humble warrior like Guo Ning, but when it comes to martial prowess...
Xuan Zhen had recently inquired about many stories about the rise of Ding Haijun, and he also knew how terrible the Great Mongolia was that was defeated by Guo Ning. It was a behemoth that unified the entire grassland and drove countless tribes like dogs. The Liao Dynasty back then was no more.
So, and they also went south several times, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands of Jin troops!
Such a powerful enemy was defeated by Guo Ning at the gate of Zhongdu City. After that, he did not even dare to establish a foothold on the grassland, and took his tribe to flee to the far west. Such deeds were recorded at the time of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, when Emperor Taizu sent troops
After Chenqiaoyi, he first destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, then defeated Yelu Shulu, swept half of the grassland, solved the border troubles in the north, and then returned to wear a yellow robe!
If the military force of the Ding Navy reaches this level, what will happen to the mood of Guo Ning's officers and men? What will happen to their confidence?
Xuan Zhen went from Shandong to Tianjin, and then went south with his army from Tianjin to Kaifeng. During the dozens of days along the way, he could feel the strong confidence of the Ding navy officers in their own force. Therefore, he felt a huge threat, and then conveyed the history
The Prime Minister's intention prompted Zhao Fang's subordinates to cooperate with the Jurchens.
Just now he watched Ding Haijun's iron cavalry and light cavalry crash through the ranks of the Song army and march straight into Kaifeng, and his feelings became more real. I'm afraid Ding Haijun had never paid attention to the Kaifeng court, and they had never doubted their victory.
It's just that since Guo Ning's rise, he likes to decide the outcome in one battle; they hope to fight continuously in a short period of time and completely annihilate the power of the Kaifeng court, so they use various strategies to create the situation in front of them.
All the battles in the past few days are being determined by the navy budget. Guo Ning is treating the battlefield as a millstone, hoping that the Jurchens will shed their blood under the millstone so that he can change the dynasty with peace of mind!
The truth is this. Zhao Fang still feels a little unbelievable when he thinks about the situation at hand.
"But, but...are they just relaxing like this? The Jurchens in Kaifeng City fight to the death, and they can still mobilize at least 10,000 people! If Li Ting's troops are still there, then forget it, Li Ting's troops have all been captured
Fire, do they really look down on the Jurchens that much?"
In just half an hour, Zhao Fang suddenly stood on the side of the Jurchens and sometimes on the side of Ding Haijun. Both sides were worried and had to weigh both sides. For a moment, he felt dizzy.
While Zhao Fang and Xuan Zhen were discussing, more than 300 people mobilized by Ni Yi had already poured into the fire scene and rushed to Guo Ning. Guo Ning wiped the sweat with the back of his dusty hands and waved to everyone: "Come on.
Just in time, let’s continue heading north.”
An officer saluted Guo Ning, then leaned close to him and whispered: "My lord, the Kaifeng garrison has moved."
"oh?"
Guo Ning put his hands on his hips, thought for a while, and then laughed: "That's a good thing. The defenders are moving, which means that the Jurchens can't set off a second fire. As for the specific movements of the defenders, you don't have to worry... We have already made arrangements.
Already."
"yes."
"Come on, follow me and continue to save people!" Guo Ning took a step, and hundreds of people quickly followed and continued to run towards the raging fire.
At the same time, King Sui, who was in the inner city of Kaifeng, put on a full set of imperial military uniforms, stood majestically on the tower of Zhuque Gate, and leaned down to look down.
What hurried out in the emperor's sight were the last mobile troops of the Kaifeng imperial court, the command of Jianwei Commander Aotun Urib and the command of Xian Kou Commander Wanyan Apai. The two armies totaled 14,000
At this time, excluding the Han'er who were considered unreliable, half of them were dispatched, a total of 7,000 people.
Seven thousand people, with their flags and flags down, came out of the Zhuque Gate, and then detoured from the east side of the old site of the Daxiangguo Temple, intending to go straight to the Nanxun Gate. While sealing the city gate, they pressed the Dinghai navy entering the city into the scene of fire.
At this time, all the soldiers in the army knew that Guo Ning, the Duke of Zhou, had personally led his troops into the city. As long as this animal was disinfected, the world of Dajin would be restored to peace. In order to boost morale, the emperor took private money to reward the entire army, and After it is announced that Guo Ning has been killed, the reward will be a hundred times greater; whoever can take Guo Ning's head will be promoted to marshal immediately.
With such good expectations, the Seven Thousand Gold Soldiers were in high spirits and marched at a fast pace.
After all, they are local snakes in Kaifeng City. While marching quickly, they kept getting reports from the spies in front. The latest spies said that Guo Ning, the Duke of Zhou, was worried about Li Ting's safety and personally led people into the fire scene. At this time, the people guarding the city gate , but there were only a thousand cavalry, and hundreds of them were sent to monitor the Song people.
Aotun Orib and Wanyan Apai were both overjoyed when they heard this. They both said: "Tian Zhuo and Hou Zhi, two Han ministers, often play tricks and tricks, but they are of some use."
However, this was the last chance for the Kaifeng court, and the two of them did not dare to act rashly. The army rushed to the vicinity of the Xiangguosi Bridge, and found a large number of Song troops collecting water in front of them. The two quickly ordered their troops to hide, and they took more than ten relatives with them. The soldiers, using the cover of buildings and fireworks, looked forward.
Along with the two of them, there was another captain, the captain of Anping, Wanyan Xielie.
Wanyan Xielie was seriously injured in the battle with the Song Dynasty and could not continue to command the battle. He had to return to Kaifeng in advance to recuperate and handed over the troops to the leadership of monk Wanyan Chen. At this time, the Kaifeng court was about to launch the final blow. , Wanyan Xielie volunteered and accompanied him with his guards.
He is a well-known fierce general among the Jurchens. Even if he is injured, others do not dare to underestimate him.
Otun Oribu squinted his eyes, stared at the direction of the bridge for a while, and asked: "The Song people are the most unfaithful. It seems that they are standing together with the rebel army again. We don't have to hold back, just rush over. ?”
Wanyan Apai nodded and looked back at Wanyan Xielie: "What do you think, Brother Guoqi? Let's go and kill him?"
Wanyan bent down obliquely, passed behind a section of broken walls, and walked behind Aotun Urib and Wanyan Apai.
The two people quickly moved to the left and right, leaving room for Wanyan to look forward sideways.
Wanyan stood sideways between the two of them, stopped for a moment, and suddenly drew his sword. The blade, which was a full foot or two inches long, completely penetrated Otun Orib's neck and emerged from the other end.
Aotun Ulibu's blood suddenly gushed out, and he fell to the ground dead. Wanyan Apai was stunned for a moment, and he shouted angrily and drew the knife with his backhand. Wanyan Xielie had no time to pull out the knife from Aotun Uuribu's neck, so he directly held down the knife. Wanyan A Pai's hand prevented him from unsheathing the knife.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? Are you betraying King Sui? Aren't you a Jurchen?" Wanyan Apai asked in a hissing voice, but he couldn't match Wanyan's slanting arm strength and couldn't pull out the knife. So he He simply stepped forward, hugged Wanyan Xielie, and pushed him down.
The two rolled on the ground and punched each other.
Wanyan Xianlie took a punch in the face and was about to explode. His vision was filled with blood, but he successfully pressed Wanyan Apai's back with his knee, then grabbed his opponent's neck and piled the debris on the ground. Bricks and tiles crashed violently.
After one bump, Wanyan's Apai's shouts stopped; after two bumps, the sound of broken bones was heard. Wanyan continued to press his head and hit it three or four times, and the two bricks on the ground were broken. Wanyan Half of Ah Pai's head looked like a rotten watermelon, with the crisp and tender rind splashing everywhere, and the juice and pulp inside flowing out.
The wound under Wanyan Xilie's ribs burst open due to the struggle, and the blood came out of the bandage, staining half of his body red.
He fell to the ground and turned to look behind him. He saw the soldiers of Otun Orib and Wanyan's platoon were shocked and tried their best to save him, but they were blocked by his guards, and there was a melee on both sides.
Wanyan sneered twice and shouted loudly: "What a fight! Your captain is dead! I came to take Kaifeng on the orders of Zhou Guogong Guo Ning!"
