Chapter five hundred and fifteen hatred not overnight
Seeing that it was getting dark, there had been no movement at the Iron Gate on the opposite side. Shi Jin ordered those on duty to guard their heads carefully and walked towards the gate.
"The third and fourth teams are preparing for the battle, and the other two teams should rest."
"yes"
"yes"
Zhang Shisan asked his soldiers to rest and then chased Shi Jin.
Shi Jin heard the footsteps, turned around and saw it was Zhang Shisan, nodded and said, "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Shisan said: "To be fair to the captain, I want to avenge my brothers."
Most of the casualties today were under Zhang Shisan's command, and nearly half of the 100 soldiers were killed. Each hundred-man team was fixed when they were training in Tokyo. They trained in Tokyo for half a year and then were assigned to different places. Zhang Shisan
This team has been together for almost two years and has a deep sense of camaraderie.
Shi Jin nodded and said: "They are also my brothers, and I also want to avenge them, but the Jin people are not coming. If we want to attack Iron Gate, we have to wait for General Shi's order."
Zhang Shisan said quickly: "To attack Tiemenguan, I'm afraid I have to ask the prince for instructions. It will take several days to go back and forth, but the fighter plane disappeared in a flash. The Jin people are barbaric, and the Jin people flying the eagle must be one of the best generals in the Jin country, otherwise
The gatekeeper will not fail to fight back. If we can capture the golden man, we can not only avenge our brothers, but also make a great contribution."
Shi Jin nodded and said: "I know everything you said. There are many fierce generals around that Jin man, otherwise the brothers who came out of the customs would not have been killed and injured so much. But today, there are fifteen or six hundred Jin people who came to our customs.
, we can dispatch up to five hundred people in the pass, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take down the iron gate pass."
Zhang Shisan said: "The Jin people have always looked down on us Han people. I'm afraid they thought that we would guard against their night attacks in the pass. They certainly didn't expect that we would attack them at night. If we catch them off guard, if we use more fire and thunder attacks, we will definitely be able to seize the iron gate.
Guan, seize the golden chieftain."
Shi Jin was not a steady leader, so after thinking about it he nodded and said: "Okay, then we will lead five hundred people to attack Tiemenguan at night. You go and order teams six to ten to recharge their batteries and wait until the fifth watch."
God takes action."
"yes"
Zhang Shisan saw Shi Jin agreeing and immediately ran to deliver the order happily.
There were two more meat dishes for dinner than usual. The soldiers had a hearty meal. The soldiers on duty continued to go to the pass for defense, and the others fell asleep early.
All the military camps in Liangzhou have been improved. Although the food at the border is not as rich as in Tokyo, it is still better than the life of most small landowners. This is also an aspect that attracts young people to join the army. The staple food tubes are full, which really attracts many big eaters.
Of course, most of these people are strong men.
In the second year of Tianqi, Daliang had an army of 500,000, but its military expenditure exceeded the Song Dynasty's military expenditure of one million miscellaneous soldiers. If Chao Yong hadn't been appointed Minister of War, someone would have asked the Ministry of War to reduce military expenditure. In the third year of Tianqi, the number of soldiers and horses continued to increase.
, it is foreseeable that military expenditure will hit an astronomical figure again.
At the fourth watch, Shi Jin was awakened by his own soldiers and came out neatly dressed. Five hundred soldiers and horses for the night attack had already gathered. The black military uniforms allowed everyone to blend into the darkness better.
Shi Jin raised his head and looked at the sky. It was another night with dark clouds covering the moon. There was no telling when there would be a heavy snowfall, but tonight was the perfect night for a night attack.
The defenders silently opened the door and closed it as soon as the soldiers and horses who attacked at night came out of the gate.
The group of people walked quietly through the valley, and soon the iron gate they arrived was closed.
The few bonfires lighting up the iron gate have long been extinguished, and only a few torches are still burning when the iron gate is closed.
After the two countries delimited the border in the second year of Tianqi, they have been in peace, and the Jin people's defense has gradually relaxed. Although there was a battle today, the Jin people did not think that the Han people dared to attack, and they just ordered a few more piles outside the customs.
There was a bonfire, but after keeping watch for most of the night and nothing happened, the Jin people were too lazy to go out and make another bonfire.
It's impossible to open the door at night, so you can only use a hanging basket to go up and down, and you have to find something that can withstand burning. The Jin people have never been a diligent people. Moreover, the guard also said that the Han people's military discipline is much stricter than them, and they dare to leave the city.
The attack on Wanyan Zonghan was already very bold, and he would definitely not attack Tiemenguan rashly again.
Zhang Shisan crawled under the door with an explosive bag, placed the explosive bag, and shook the fire stick.
"laugh"
The fuse made a slight sound when it was lit, but under the cover of the howling wind, no one could hear it except Zhang Shisan in front of him.
Zhang Shisan saw that the gunpowder bag had been lit, so he did not retreat. He stood up and slipped under the wall, covered his ears with his hands, and hid quickly to the side with his waist crouched.
After running a few feet, he heard a loud noise behind him and the ground shook slightly. Even though he had stuffed cotton into his ears and covered his ears, Zhang Shisan was still shaken to the point where his head was rumbling.
Shi Jin used the light of the explosion to see that the city gate was blown to pieces. He put down his hands covering his ears and shouted: "Raise the fire and kill me."
The golden soldiers at the gate were all stunned by the shock. When they saw the torches lighting up outside, they didn't know how many people rushed into the gate, hurriedly drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned out, countless sharp arrows were shot out of the darkness. Whether calculated mentally or not, they immediately turned the few golden soldiers into hedgehogs.
The lurking archers cleared away all the golden soldiers behind the closed door, and then followed Shi Jin and rushed in.
This loud noise also woke up the golden soldiers from their sleep. They howled and picked up their weapons and ran out without even bothering to put on their clothes.
If they were Han people, they would run out naked in the middle of the night in November, and they would be frozen stiff, let alone fighting, but these Jin people were not affected too much, and they rushed towards the door with howls one by one.
Come.
Fearing that the war horses would be frightened, the Daliang soldiers came on foot. However, Shi Jin's footsteps were not much slower than the war horses. Even so, Shi Jin rushed into the pass and saw dozens of naked Jurchens rushing towards him.
Coming.
Shi Jin did not bring his three-pointed two-edged sword, but a waist sword across his waist. But now he had a fire thunder and a fire fold in his hand. Seeing that the golden soldiers had actually gathered, he also
You're welcome, I lit the fire thunder immediately and threw it into the pile of gold soldiers.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
The soldiers behind also kept throwing fire thunder and torches, bombarding the Jin people and setting fire to the houses in Guanzhong to prevent the Jin people from hiding in corners and firing hidden arrows.
However, the Jurchens are tough. They are all naked and carrying knives. No one hides in the house and shoots arrows. Of course, they don't have the brains. For the simple-minded Jurchens, they can just carry a knife.
The Han people were defeated.
This also makes the work of Shi Jin and others a lot easier. After throwing the fire mines that they carry with them, they will change to the people behind them. Everyone throwing fire mines at the same time will waste the fire mines and cause accidents easily. If someone shoots them with an arrow,
If you kill him, the fire thunder will explode in your crowd, which is likely to detonate all the fire thunder and wipe out your entire army. Therefore, there must be two people watching behind a fire thunder hand. Once the fire thunder hand is attacked, the ignited fire thunder will not
Throw it out, and the other two people will be responsible for throwing the fire thunder out.
However, this time the Daliang soldiers were basically not attacked. After the Jin people woke up, they all came out with knives to fight. No one thought of using bows and arrows in the dark.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Sheyema were still staying at Tiemenguan. Yesterday they retreated to Tiemenguan to discuss for a while. When it got late, Wanyan Zonghan decided to go on the road again the next day.
While sleeping soundly, I was awakened by the sound of an explosion, and rushed into the yard with my weapons.
Shi Yema and a dozen guards also ran out, and they were all shaken awake from their deep sleep, suffering from severe head pain and shaking.
Wanyan Zonghan was also a savage. Without thinking much, he rushed out with his son and guards.
Seeing that all the golden soldiers in front were blown down, Wanyan Zonghan found it difficult to rush forward and quickly shouted: "Go back and use your bow and arrow."
Shi Jin had already seen Wanyan Zonghan surrounded by people, and when he heard Wanyan Zonghan's howl, he immediately lit a fire thunder and threw it at Wanyan Zonghan.
In the darkness, the golden man could not see the trajectory of the fire and thunder. When the fire and thunder hit him, Wanyan Zonghan screamed and wanted to hide back. As soon as he took two steps, he felt severe pain all over his body and lost consciousness.
The Jin people behind saw that Wanyan Zonghan and She Yema and his son were blown to pieces, and they howled. The coach died in the battle. If they could not defeat the enemy, it would be a capital crime for them to escape. And as Wanyan Zonghan,
Even if they defeat the enemy in front of them, they may not survive.
The golden men in the pass were almost in a dead end. They howled one by one, as if the sky was falling, and rushed forward waving their knives, not remembering Wanyan Zonghan's instructions.
Fortunately, Shi Jin brought out all the fire thunder stored in Gubeikou for this raid, and each fire thunder easily tore the Jin man into pieces.
The Jin people were tough enough, but after charging like a death squad for a while, some people finally started to run away.
If one escapes, a second one will soon follow.
Those who didn't escape were either killed by fire and thunder or shot by archers. Occasionally, a few people broke into the Daliang soldiers and were cloned by chaos blades, making them almost incapable of lethality.
Unprepared, the golden man was stunned by the loud noise of the exploding door, and then hit by the constant explosions of fire and thunder. The golden man had a splitting headache. It was already very difficult to find the right direction.
What else is there to fight for?
Soon, Shi Jin led his troops to the Iron Gate Pass. Looking at the naked Jin soldiers escaping in the darkness outside, he waved his hand to stop the soldiers and horses, and said: "Search all the Jin soldiers in the pass, and shoot those who resist."
, no injured prisoners.”
Zhang Shisan also chased after him, looking at the fleeing Jin people outside unwillingly, and said: "Those Jin people are not fully equipped with armor, why not catch up and kill them all."
Shi Jin shook his head and said: "This will be the coldest time. If they run out naked, their hands and feet will be frozen even if they freeze to death. Why are we wasting that energy? Okay, you lead people to guard the back door to prevent the nearby Jin soldiers from coming back.
.”
"yes."
Shi Jin led a few soldiers to the largest mansion in Guanzhong. This mansion was originally the residence of the guard of Tiemen Pass, but after Wanyan Zonghan came, he was kicked out.
The soldier quickly found a gold medal from the house and said happily: "That gold man is the commander of the capital, but I don't know if he was killed in the explosion."
Shi Jin took the gold medal, which had several Jurchen characters written on it, but he couldn't recognize it. He could only wait for the Intelligence Department to verify General Jin's identity.
Not to mention that he couldn't recognize it, not many people even in the Jin Kingdom could recognize the Jurchen characters created in this life.
It wasn't until dawn that all the ministries finished searching the pass, and only five prisoners were captured.
The iron gate pass is in a critical position, and the thousand soldiers and horses stationed there are all Jurchens. These Jurchens are brave, and their first reaction when attacked is to fight with all their strength. Only a few golden soldiers can't defeat them and escape.
Only five of them surrendered intact, and all those who were injured and wanted to surrender were killed by Zhang Shisan. Shi Jin also learned that the culprit was actually Wanyan Zonghan, the Jin Guo Lai Bo Ji Lie.
After finding out that Wanyan Zonghan was one of the five giants in the Jin Kingdom, Shi Jin also felt that his meritorious service seemed a bit too hot to handle.
Shi Jin looked at the half-burned Iron Gate, thought for a while and said: "Collect useful things in the Pass and transport them to the outside. Then collect fire starters and prepare to burn the Iron Gate."
The Jin people were not much cleaner than the grassland tribes. The Daliang soldiers were really afraid that Shi Jin would want them to live in the smelly Guanzhong. After hearing Shi Jin's order, they immediately went to collect things in high spirits.
Half an hour later, black smoke rose into the sky after the iron gate was closed.
Shi Jin returned with a full load of troops.
In the afternoon of the same day, three thousand reinforcements sent by Tanzhou arrived at Gubeikou.
On the second day after Shi Jin set fire to Tiemenguan, the first battle report was sent to Bianjing only after the gold medal was delivered in a hurry.
Chao Gai, Chao Yong, Jiang Jing, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu gathered in the Chongzheng Hall. The Ministry of War also needs the money and food cooperation from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Jiang Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is qualified to participate in the discussion of the Ministry of War affairs. Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu
They are all doctors in the Ministry of War. Although their official positions are not high, they have often made suggestions for Chao Yong, so Chao Yong made an exception and was allowed to attend. Otherwise, the only ones qualified to discuss important military affairs in Daliang are the emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War.
Five people. Of course, there is no trick to vote by a show of hands. The emperor can decide everything with his words. All the others can do is provide opinions to the emperor.
However, Chao Gai added another constraint to future generations. If everyone else vetoes it, the emperor cannot act arbitrarily. But this situation should be difficult to happen, and not everyone may dare to confront the emperor. Of course, Chao Gai does not want his ministers to be immovable.
Just come together to fight against the emperor. When the country and the country are at stake, it is enough that they can fight against the emperor together.
Seeing that everyone had read the report, Chao Gai said, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."
Chao Yong turned to look at Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, and said with a smile: "You guys go ahead and talk."
Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu gave in a little bit, and Xu Guanzhong said: "Let's talk about the attack on the spaceship by Haidongqing first. The Kingdom of Jin also sent a few Haidongqing to the emperor. This Haidongqing has a ferocious surname, so it is very popular.
Maybe it was Hai Dongqing who took the initiative to attack the spacecraft, as Jin Ren said."
Zhu Wu also said: "We, Daliang, have just conquered all the grassland tribes, and have formed an encirclement against the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, our Daliang army has strong soldiers and horses, so the Jin Kingdom should not dare to initiate a war."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "It may have been an accidental injury, but one of my Daliang soldiers did die. It is reasonable for Shi Jin to lead people to ask for Haidongqing and his master."
No one in the palace felt that Shi Jin should not leave seclusion.
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "What the prince said is that accidental injury of human life is also responsible. It is reasonable for Shi Jin to demand the capital of the culprit. Jin Bing refused to hand over Haidongqing and its owner, which was a bit disrespectful to me, Daliang Guowei, and then there was a conflict.
He also led troops to attack Gubeikou, and even more provoked me, Daliang."
Chao Gai nodded and said: "What Xu Qing said is that the Jin Kingdom's attack on our Daliang Pass is to provoke our Daliang. However, we cannot retreat from this matter."
Zhu Wudao said: "It is severe winter weather now, and it is even colder in the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin people grew up in the ice and snow, but our Daliang soldiers are less cold-resistant. If we send troops at this time, the Jin soldiers will take over this time."
"
Needless to say, the geographical advantage is advantageous. If we want to attack the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom must have the advantageous geographical location.
There are only people in Daliang. Although there are still some religious elements in the country who are still unwilling to give up, the army is united. The huge military expenditure is not useless.
Jiang Jing was the only moderate and said with a smile: "We can be polite first and then fight. If the Jin State hands over the Jin people and Hai Dongqing who caused the trouble, and then also hands over the Jin generals who attacked Gubeikou, we can also not use force.
.The Kingdom of Jin is poor, and if we conquer it, we won’t get much benefit.”
Chao Yong also nodded and said: "What Jiang Shangshu said is reasonable. Then we will first send envoys to protest to the Kingdom of Jin and demand that the Jin people and Haidongqing who caused the incident, as well as the Jin generals who attacked Gubeikou, be buried with the injured and injured soldiers. Then we will ask for
Some compensation. If the Jin Kingdom agrees, that’s it. If the Jin Kingdom refuses, we will send troops to seek justice for the wounded and wounded soldiers."
Chao Gai thought for a while and said: "The Jin Kingdom is poor, so they need one hundred thousand guan. I will prepare a letter of credence and send it to Hebei as soon as possible, so that Hebei can send envoys to the Jin Kingdom. You must also be prepared for war.
My beam cannot be attacked in vain."
Chao Yong clasped his fists and said: "Father, don't worry, I will let the troops from Hebei and the grassland gather together. As long as the Jin Kingdom does not know how to promote, I will use my troops to wipe out the Jin Kingdom."
Before the imperial edict and credentials from Bianjing were sent to Hebei, another battle report from Hebei was sent to Bianjing.
Chao Gai and others gathered together again to discuss the matter.
"He led troops to raid Tiemenguan and killed Wanyan Zonghan, the leader of the Jin Dynasty. Shi Jin was really brave."
Everyone didn't know what Chao Gai meant, and they didn't dare to make random remarks.
Chao Yong said with a smile: "Anyone who offends our strong men will be punished even if they are far away, but Shi Jin is decisive in his killing. He raided Tiemen Pass that night. The heavens do not tolerate insults, and Shi Jin did a good job."
Chao Gai did not mean to criticize Shi Jin. He nodded and said: "Shi Jin did the right thing, but the Jin Kingdom is dead and the war is extremely fierce. I'm afraid they won't let it go. It seems that we are going to prepare for a battle."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "This matter was originally the fault of the Kingdom of Jin. If they wanted to fight, I, Daliang, would simply destroy them. There shouldn't be any country in the world that can be on an equal footing with me, Daliang."
Chao Gai said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go deep into the Northeast this season."
"Our army is not good at fighting in bitter and cold places, but the places where the grassland tribes live are similar to the Jin people. There are one hundred thousand vassal troops on the grassland road to pay, and they will be used to wipe out the Jin Kingdom. With the grassland tribes as the main force, our army
As an assistant, we should be able to wipe out the Jin Kingdom."
Apart from Japan, the Kingdom of Jin was definitely the country that Chao Yong wanted to destroy the most. How could he not have thought about this issue? (To be continued.
