Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

This kind of mutual distrust between the two forces is the most suitable for Zhu Wen, who has a deep understanding of the hearts of the people, to divide and separate.

Zhu Wen also understood one thing at the same time.

If he continues to sit in the flowery city of Lin'an, he will have no way to really influence the Han army.

The only way for the Han army to seek refuge in the Southern Dynasty, or to keep them neutral, is to return to the old capital and show the Han army's imperial ambition to restore the rivers and mountains.

In September of the first year of Duanping, Zhu Wen led an army to Bianliang Mansion and declared to the world that he would move the capital back to Bianliang within three years.

At this time, Wokuotai Khan was swearing in Hara and Lin, and the Mongolian army was about to march south.

Zhu Wen received this information, but he showed no fear.

He said to his two confidants, Wang Yanzhang and Ge Congzhou,
"If the Han army didn't help each other, the Mongols and Tanma Red Army combined would only have 10,000+ people, and they would not be able to break through our Yellow River defense line."

Wang Yanzhang is more honest, he doesn't know how to make the Han army not help each other.

Zhu Wen said confidently,

"If we want these Mu Qiang Han soldiers to remain neutral, we must first show our strength."

Then Zhu Wen issued two orders in succession.

The first order was to let Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang lead [-] elite soldiers across the Yellow River, station troops in Huaizhou, and summon civilians to rush to repair the dilapidated city wall.General Meng Gong was asked to lead an army of [-] across the Yellow River and stationed in Xiangzhou, and he summoned civilians to build the severely damaged city wall and prepare to establish a solid stronghold on the north bank of the Yellow River.

In the second order, Ge Congzhou, the fierce general who is best at disrupting wars, was sent to lead [-] elite soldiers to capture Puyang, forming a corner with Wang Yanzhang.

It can be seen from these two orders that Zhu Wen doesn't believe in the abilities of Meng Gong and others at all.

Or they don't believe in the courage of Meng Gong and others.

In Zhu Wen's view, this Southern Dynasty is too soft.

The generals of the Southern Dynasties, even the most outstanding ones, were only good at defensive counterattacks, not good at siege and field warfare.

Although Cao Youwen is very powerful, he is not as strong as Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang.

The vanguard of the Eastern Route Army was the famous [-] households of the Shi family, Shi Tianze and Shi Tianan, who led the [-] Han army.

Unlike other generations of the Han army, Shi Tianze's father joined Genghis Khan more than 20 years ago, and he was regarded as the first batch of Han people to join the Mongol Empire.

Shi Tianze has a good family background, has been familiar with scriptures since he was a child, and is proficient in Confucianism. He can be described as a general with both civil and military skills.

He really regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Mongolian Empire. Even though Wo Kuotai once talked about killing all Han generals and Han people, he did not let him have the slightest idea of ​​betrayal.

In Shi Tianze's view, "the emperor ordered the ministers to die, and the ministers had to die." No matter what the emperor did, he was right, and the ministers only had to follow the orders and call out the saints three times.

As a pioneer, Shi Tianze can be said to do his best, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and wherever he goes, he will search for food and grass for the enjoyment of the Mongolian uncles behind.

As for how the people who have been robbed of food and grass live, it is not a question that Shi Tianze, who claims to be a "pure minister of the Yuan Dynasty", cares about at all.

After Shi Tianze led his troops to Xiangzhou, he burst into laughter when he learned that Wang Yanzhang was stationed in Huaizhou and Ge Congzhou was stationed in Puyang.

Although Shi Tianze was loyal to Dayuan, the Han army he commanded was still an out-and-out Shijia army.

There are more than 70 senior and senior generals in the army, all of whom are historians.

Shi Tianan asked inexplicably,
"Third brother, instead of guarding the river, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty crossed the Yellow River and set up camp. I heard that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was stationed in Bianliang. It seems that the picture is not small. Why is the third brother not worried, but laughing heartily Woolen cloth?"

Shi Tianze glanced at his second brother and said in a disdainful tone,

"Although the false emperors of the Southern Dynasties had courage, courage alone is not enough to fight. With the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Southern Dynasties, let alone the elite Mongolian soldiers who swept the world, even our Han army can still beat them to pieces.

The reason why I laughed was because the emperor of the Southern Dynasty didn't know how to fight.

If he stationed troops on the south bank of the Yellow River and defended the three capitals and one pass, he could still last for a few months.

Now he actually divided his troops and went north.Isn't he rushing to give us military merits? "

Although Shi Tianan is Shi Tianze's second brother, he has always admired Shi Tianze's resourcefulness and courage.

"The third brother is right. In your opinion, should we attack Puyang first or Huaizhou first?"

Shi Tianze didn't even think about it, so he made a final decision, "Fight Huaizhou. According to reports from spies, Huaizhou has [-] soldiers from the Southern Dynasties, while Puyang has only [-]. If we defeat Wang Yanzhang in Huaizhou, Ge Congzhou in Puyang will definitely not fight." And fled, abandoned the city and fled south."

"it is good!"

Shi Tianan said sharply, "Then eat up Wang Yanzhang's [-] troops first, and then deal with Ge Congzhou, if he is still in Puyang at that time."

In fact, the Shijia army only had 3 soldiers, but they didn't take Wang Yanzhang's [-] troops to heart.

Because they have long subconsciously regarded themselves as Mongolian elite soldiers who are invincible in all battles.

They looked down on Wang Yanzhang, and Wang Yanzhang also looked down on traitors like them who took refuge in other races.

Although Wang Yanzhang was born in the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he was also from the Tang Dynasty after all, and he had a psychological superiority over foreign soldiers and horses.He is not afraid of elite Mongolian soldiers.

In the face of the Shi family's army that had rushed outside the city, Wang Yanzhang did not defend the city, but led [-] soldiers out of Huaizhou City, and set up an army formation three miles outside the city, waiting for the Shi brothers to attack.

Shi Tianze saw that Wang Yanzhang went directly out of the city to fight in the field, and his formation was well organized, so he immediately put away his underestimation of the enemy.

He also sent [-] elite soldiers, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry to form an offensive formation, led by three extremely brave historians, to kill Wang Yanzhang.

Who is Wang Yanzhang?That is a super strong general who has fought all over the late Tang Dynasty with an iron gun.

No one can restrain him except Li Cunxiao.

Facing the surging Shijia army, Wang Yanzhang stepped forward immediately, and led five hundred fine cavalry brought by the late Tang Dynasty, and took the lead in attacking the left-wing cavalry of the Shijia army.

"All traitors will be killed!"

As soon as he collided with the cavalry of Shijiajun, the iron spear in Wang Yanzhang's hand made him angry.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen cavalrymen were overthrown.

The cavalry general of the Shi family army is named Shi Quan, he is Shi Tianze's nephew, he holds a nine-foot long knife, and he is also known as the brave general of the Northland.

Seeing Wang Yanzhang killing people like cutting grass, Shi Quan was dissatisfied and rushed forward.

"Shut up the southerners! Let me tell you..."

This sentence only ends here, and there is no more text.

Because Wang Yanzhang's big gun has pierced Shi Quan's throat.

"If you want to die, our old king will fulfill you!"

Shi Quan's body fell off the horse.Wang Yanzhang led [-] cavalry, and defeated the thousand-man Han army with only one wave of attacks.

Afterwards, without returning to his horse, he charged into the infantry phalanx of the Han army in a diagonal stab.

The big spear danced like flying, and the war horse galloped like thunder.

Although there were only [-] cavalry, under the leadership of Wang Yanzhang, they had the power of [-] cavalry.Before Shi Tianze and Shi Tian'an could come up with a countermeasure, Wang Yanzhang had already cut a bloody path through the infantry phalanx of the Han army, entering from the left flank and exiting from the right flank.
