Chapter 237 Han'er

The Mongolian army attacked Jin this time, first breaking the main forces of the Jin army in Huailai and Jinshan, forcing the commanders of the Jin army Wan Yangang and Shuhu Gaoqi to retreat to Juyong Pass, and then bypassed Zijing Pass to attack the Central Plains.

The army was divided into three groups in the Central Plains. The left side followed the sea and went east, attacking Zhongdu and Liaoxi; Go deep into the east and west roads of Shandong.

The already crumbling armed forces of the Dajin Kingdom suffered another heavy blow in this war.

Among the nineteen general manager's roads in the territory of the Dajin Kingdom, the seven roads in Hebei, Central Plains, and Shandong, where the most elite are located, are all richly populated lands and wealth. Sixth.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields are full of life and death, and the bones are like a mess.Although the Jurchens were completely wiped out, the Han children who had lived here for generations were once again subjected to a bloody massacre after a lapse of a hundred years, with millions of dead.

Such a powerful prairie cavalry, such a sharp attack, such a devastating destruction, such a merciless massacre, has never been seen since ancient times.

Of course, the Mongolian army also has hidden worries of the Mongolian army.

If it is said that the Mongolian army was like a hungry and bloodthirsty wolf at the beginning of the southward movement, now they are already full, and some people even ate too much and were struggling.

Many of their troops gradually lost their original style of rapid advance and retreat, and began to be slowed down by a huge number of prisoners and material seizures, which also weakened their fighting spirit.

Relatively speaking, the previous coup d'état in the central capital of the Dajin Kingdom caused huge casualties, but it was like a sharp knife cutting through carrion, reviving a seriously ill body.

After the new emperor came to the throne, he used Tu Shanyi, Xu Ding and others to govern, and promoted a group of warriors.

Generals such as servant Anzhen, Wanyan Chenghui, Wulin Dayu, Heshilie Heshou, Miao Daorun, and Zhang Rou, who controlled the military around Zhongdu, were all talented, and they not only withstood the attack of the Mongolian Left Army on Zhongdu. Invasion, and even the momentum of two counterattacks.

Along the way, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Beijing left behind Wugusun Wutun with an army of [-] troops.

Wu Gusun Wutun fought against the Song people in the Southern Dynasty. He used [-] elite soldiers to break through the water formation of [-] Song soldiers. From Chen to noon, he captured three bridges and pulled [-] fences.

Wugu Sun Wutun led his troops out of the central capital and marched westward, reaching Dingxing County in Zhuozhou, which was where Yang An'er Tiewa Ganzhan Army was stationed that day, threatening the east and west retreats of the Mongolian army at the same time.

The other route is headed by Li Ying, the experience officer of Shuhu Gaoqi.

Li Ying entangled the remnants of soldiers and civilians in Xuande Prefecture, Dexing Mansion and other places in the capacity of prosecuting the commissioner, and got the strong man Li Xiong and others, with tens of thousands of soldiers, so this army used Xishan, the capital of Zhongdu, as its base, threatening Juyongguan from time to time, robbing and killing The strength of the Mongolian army squad marching from here.

These two people were not enemies at first, but behind them was the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, supported by the Zhongdu City with millions of soldiers and civilians, so they were difficult to deal with.

So ten days ago, Genghis Khan personally led the Qixue Army and the twenty thousand households who were the main force of the Central Route Army to leave Jinan and head north at full speed.

When the military report reached Zhuozhou, Ugusun Wutun did not dare to fight Genghis Khan head-on, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the central capital.As a result, his soldiers and horses were still halfway, and the Mongolian cavalry arrived day and night, marching four hundred miles.Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out under the long drive and painful killing, and Ugusun Wutun died in the chaos.

At the same time, Hesaer and other tribes originally in Zhuozhou tried their best to make meritorious service before Genghis Khan, and they defeated Li Ying's troops in Qingbaikou. Li Ying was seriously injured and returned to Zhongdu.

So far, the Mongolian army has re-guaranteed the army's retreat, and continued to maintain a semi-encircled state of the central capital.

Genghis Khan went north to Zhongdu, and the fourth prince Tuo Lei went south to Shandong. The soldiers and civilians around Jinan gradually gathered to resist.The two Mongolian troops stationed in Jinan, Qianhu, attacked again and again.

Soldiers and civilians from all over the country were naturally unable to defeat the ferocity of the Mongolian army. To the west of Jinan City, Fengji Town, Changqing County, Guide Town, and Guangli Town changed hands one after another, and were burned by the Mongolian army.

The Mongolian army was on the rise, taking advantage of the momentum and continuing to advance westward, until it reached the Lush Mountain in Pingyin County, it was stopped by the defenders of Dongping Mansion.

But the defenders did not dare to fight for a long time.When the Mongols gathered thousands of horsemen, the defenders fled immediately.A hundred households surnamed Yan led part of the army and civilians to try to maintain the establishment, and fled all the way into Pingyin County.

When he climbed to the top of Pingyin City, the county magistrate Wendihan Tugu scolded: "You bastard, you have attracted the Mongols!"

Yan Baihu knew that the county magistrate was just complaining, so he didn't bother to pay attention.

He looked down the city with a gloomy face, and saw more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry driving about three or four thousand Han people rushing towards the city wall.There were hundreds of others riding reined horses and watching from a distance. Some people pointed at the top of the city and laughed loudly.

Among the three or four thousand servants, suddenly a few broke away from the team and ran towards the woodland on one side.Before running twenty steps, the arrows of the Mongolian army arrived.

The arrows missed their wounds and hit their legs.They fell to the ground and struggled to crawl forward, and then they were rushed back and forth by the Mongolian cavalry, trampled twice, and finally stopped moving.

The other minions moved on.Their heads were lowered, neither looking at the Mongols nor at the road ahead.When they got close, Yan Baihu rubbed his eyes and saw that there was a crying woman in the team.But those in the front row are all strong men, they have no weapons in their hands, each of them is holding a bamboo basket, and occasionally a few are carrying pickaxes, walking forward slowly, getting closer and closer to the county seat.

"Damn, they want to fill the trench." Yan Baihu spat.

Wendy said in surprise, "That's impossible."

Yan Baihu called several subordinates to come down: "You have a loud voice, shout quickly, let them run away! You can go to the mountains to the east, or to the woods to the west, don't go to the city to die! Shout!"

Pingyin County is bordered by the Dahe River in the west and the remaining veins of Mount Tai in the east. Not far from the county seat, there are mountains, hillocks, ports, and forests. killed.

Several subordinates immediately shouted repeatedly.

But those Han men and women were probably so frightened by the Mongols that they were dumbfounded and stunned, so they ignored them, and the large group of people rushed to the city like walking dead.Some of them shoveled soil with bamboo baskets and dumped it into the ditch, and some slowly crawled across the ditch and beat the foundation of the city wall with pickaxes.

Pingyin County is a small county, the city walls are in disrepair for a long time, and the trenches are also shallow. How can it withstand so many people filling and digging at the same time?
Countless soldiers and civilians on the top of the city looked ashen, watching the gray figures below.

A soldier suddenly shouted: "This is from Changqing County! My mother-in-law is still in Changqing County!"

Nobody paid any attention to him.

Soon after the fall of Jinan, Changqing County was lost. Later, the Mongolian army shrank, and Yan Baihu took people to see it. There were no living people in that county.Now these men and women are naturally newly plundered by the Mongols, but no one wants to ask where they came from. They are nothing more than some strong men and women left after the massacre of the city, driven by the Mongols to consume arrows and fill ravines .

Only one of them will die.

And if Pingyin County is lost, the same will happen to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Fire the arrow!" Yan Baihu shouted.

More than a hundred archers immediately leaned out of the city wall and shot at the minions below.

This action is very dangerous, because the Mongolian knights are watching from a hundred steps away. If they want to cover the civilians and fill the trenches, they only need to ride a little closer to the city, and they can cover the city with heavy bows and long arrows, and kill the archers at the city. .The archers must have suffered heavy casualties.

However, maybe the Mongols were a little tired, they didn't move, they just lazily monitored the people digging the soil below the city, not allowing them to escape.

The people were shot by the archers in the city, and blood blossomed in the crowd. Some people cried loudly to avoid it, and some screamed twice in despair, but went forward instead, probably wanting to die.A woman smiled wildly, pulled open her skirt, exposed her chest, and motioned for the archers to shoot at the heart.

Occasionally, a few people turned around and ran away, and then the Mongols laughed and sent out small teams to kill them.

The Mongols looked very relaxed. Sometimes they shot with bows and arrows, and sometimes they slashed with machetes. If someone missed, they would be laughed at loudly by others.

Yan Baihu looked at this scene indifferently, he felt pain and anger, but he was powerless.The archers shot for two rounds, but they were all relented and stopped their arrows one after another.The county magistrate Wendi Hantugu opened his mouth, and when he was about to order to continue shooting, he felt dry in his throat.

At this moment, there was a sharp whistling sound from behind the Mongolian cavalry.

Dozens of Mongolian cavalry turned their heads at the same time, clearly showing a tense posture.After a while, a Mongolian light cavalry who drove three horses at the same time galloped over and yelled at them.

I don't know what he said, but the leader of the Mongolian cavalry suddenly pulled out his scimitar and swung it repeatedly in the air, and some Mongolians simply shouted angrily.

Yan Baihu estimated that it would not be good news.He thought, these Mongols might attack the city overnight, and then slaughter the city to vent their anger?

While he was restless, the Mongolian cavalry suddenly dispersed, and several small groups galloped along the city.They didn't check the defense situation at the top of the city, but waved their whips, whistled and roared, gathered the militiamen back from the trench, and then led them back to the place where they came and went.

The smoke and dust billowed for a long time.

The defenders on the city looked at each other, as if in a dream.
