Great Song Pirate

Chapter 706 Straight to Yanshan Mansion
This battle lasted until the evening before it was considered to have come to an end, and the ending ended with the complete defeat of the Jin army.

When Wu Shu led a group of defeated soldiers away, Xu Yi was unable to pursue them, so he sent orders to surround these defeated soldiers and capture as many prisoners as possible.

So Li Bin's You Yi army was forced to stop killing, and instead circled them around the rout, not allowing them to escape, and then shouted loudly on the battlefield that those who surrendered would not be killed.

In the whole area of ​​Jizhou city, the sound of persuading to surrender resounded through the sky. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the defeated soldiers of the Jin army could not outrun the cavalry of the Fubo army with two legs, so most of them obediently chose to leave. He dropped his weapon, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Only a small part of the Jin army chose to continue fleeing or resist to the end, but their fate can be imagined. Those who fled were caught up by Li Bin's You Yijun, and their lives were killed with a knife in the back. As for those Jin who tried to resist The Fubo army couldn't even touch the side of the Fubo army, so they were shot into hedgehogs by the Fubo army archers who surrounded them.

After the battle ended, it took Xu Yi's army two full days just to clean up the battlefield. In this battle, more than ten thousand Jin troops were killed and nearly twenty thousand Jin soldiers were captured. Of the 1 soldiers assembled in Jizhou, only [-] returned to Yanshan Mansion, and the rest were thrown outside the city of Jizhou. Although Xu Yi could not eat all the soldiers and horses of Wushu, this one After the war, it was also announced the complete defeat of the Golden Army on the southern front, and it was only a matter of time before they were dealt with.

After the defeat of Wushu, the defenders of the Jin Army in Jizhou City had no choice but to surrender in Kaesong. In the eyes of the Fubo Army, their few soldiers were enough to fill their teeth. If they did not surrender, they would only die. He chose to surrender very wisely, saving the Fubo army from the pain of siege.

The battle of Jizhou, which lasted ten days, was completely over. Xu Yi led his army to rest in Jizhou City. The reason why he didn't send his troops west to Yanshan Mansion immediately was because they captured too many prisoners in this battle, and he couldn't All these captives were killed, so they simply selected strong soldiers from them and incorporated them into Li Bo's Three Corps.

As for the issue of loyalty, Xu Yi is not worried about these captives returning to the battle. After all, most of these people are Han Chinese.Don't worry if they don't work with you.

It's just that for those captured mid-level and high-ranking officers and Jurchen soldiers, Xu Yi adopted more ruthless means. After gathering them together, he found a mountain and slaughtered them all, saving them from relying on their own prestige. In this way, the remaining people are nothing to worry about.

The Three Corps also paid the price of more than a thousand deaths in this battle, so the armies immediately recruited more capable soldiers from the prisoners of war, and the combat effectiveness not only did not weaken, but also immediately increased a lot.

There were more than 2 captives, and after the collection, there were still more than 1 people left, so these people were organized into an auxiliary army, and a group of soldiers who had made meritorious service in this battle were sent to serve as low-level officers among them. They fulfilled Xu Yi's promise at the beginning, promoted their officials, and obtained a soldier of more than 1 people. It can be said that they made a lot of money.

After Xu Yi finished reorganizing the captives, news of the northern war also came.

After half a month of onslaught, the West Route Army led by Xiao Jianfeng's Second Corps successfully captured Yikun Prefecture, repelled Wanyan Xieye's reinforcements north of Yikun Prefecture, and drove Wanyan Xieye back. After leaving Linhuang Mansion, Xie also stationed a large number of Jin troops in the vicinity of Linhuang Mansion, and never dared to go south easily again. After taking down Linhuang Mansion, Xiao Jianfeng also began to rest and prepare for the next step to start attacking Linhuang Mansion The mansion will be brought into the pocket of Jinghai State in the area of ​​Linhuang Mansion.

After sending Xu Yi away, Yang Zaixing handed Dading Mansion over to Daniu Yushou, and went to Jinzhou in person, where he took the [-] new army that Fang Youren had formed in Jinzhou with him. Set off and attacked Zong Han's army in Yizhou.

Although most of Fang Youren's [-] soldiers were recruits, Yang Zaixing found that the quality of these [-] soldiers was quite good. After asking, he found out that these soldiers were all trained by Fang Youren and the newly recruited Zhang Youde. In just a few short months, the new army was trained in a decent manner, commanded to advance and retreat with certainty, Yang Zaixing was overjoyed, and formally appointed Zhang Youde as the deputy commander of the new army, which was regarded as promoting him to Jinghai Kingdom. Among the middle and senior military officers, the more capable people like this, the better. Yang Zaixing also knows Xu Yi's way of employing people well.

After Gao Jun completed the assembly in Tangzhou, he immediately sent troops to attack Zonghan's army in Yizhou. Zonghan gave up his plan to attack Jinzhou and Xingzhong Mansion in the south after learning the news of Fubo's army gathering in Tangzhou , now he has been beaten into a frightened bird by the Fubo army, and his head is as big as a bucket when he mentions siege, and his cavalry almost lost their entire body in the battle of Liaoyang Mansion in the spring, and now they have basically become an army. The infantry regiment couldn't even use the cavalry combat method he was good at, so he disobeyed orders and did not send troops south. Instead, he began to prepare for battle in the Yizhou area by using the terrain and city groups here, intending to fight a battle. A defensive battle to see if the Fubo army can capture his Yizhou area.

Siege is not enough, is defense not enough?Zong Han was still a bit unconvinced on this point. As a result, as soon as Gao Jun's army arrived, it only took two days to take Huanzhou City to the east of Yizhou in one battle, and the four soldiers stationed in the city The Qianjin Army made dumplings in one fell swoop, and only less than ten people escaped. Only then did Zong Han realize how unbearable his army was now, so he quickly gathered his troops again, centering on the two cities of Yizhou and Chengzhou. , re-armed, and launched a fierce battle with Gao Jun's [-]st Corps in this area.

When Yang Zaixing led his army to arrive outside Yizhou City, Gao Jun's army was besieging Yizhou City. Dozens of cannons were concentrated in the east direction of the city, and they bombarded the east gate of Yizhou City day and night. Hundreds of counterweight-type stone throwing vehicles were also built outside the city, and they bombarded Chaoyizhou City day and night.

The strongest point of the Fubo army may be to attack the fortifications. This time Zong Han made a wrong calculation. If he chooses to fight in the field, he may have a chance to fight Gao Jun's corps. When he was in the mansion, he was really badly beaten by the Fubo army's defense battle, so he also wanted to try his own ability in the city defense battle. As a result, when the Fubo army attacked, he discovered that the city defense battle is also a high-level skill. The technical content of the job, Fubo Jun can play around, but his Jin Jun may not be able to play!

Fortunately, he arranged Yinshuke in the direction of Chengzhou. When Gao Jun's army besieged Yizhou, Yinshuke sent troops from Chengzhou and launched a diversionary battle against Gaojun's army on the flanks, preventing Gaojun from attacking Yizhou with all his strength. Zong Han stayed in Yizhou for more than ten days.

When Yang Zaixing arrived in Yizhou, he discussed with Gao Jun, and finally decided on the strategy of encircling and attacking Yizhou. He just sent some troops to continue the siege of Yizhou, and secretly drew out the main forces of Youyi Army and the Qinglong Army of the Chinese Army to lie in ambush overnight. Between Yizhou and Chengzhou.

Yinshu didn't know how to plan, and heard that Zong Han in Yizhou was in a hurry, so he immediately sent troops from Chengzhou again, intending to attack Gao Jun's regiment from the flank and cut off the food road in the back of Gao Jun's regiment. In the pocket prepared by Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun for him, the silver technique after the ambush was immediately defeated by the Fubo army, and only more than 5000 of them ran back with [-] soldiers and horses, and were captured by the Fubo army More than [-] people dare not leave Chengzhou to attack the Fubo army easily.

It took only three days for these more than 1 prisoners of war to be incorporated into the Gaojun Corps. Under the supervision of the main force of the Fubo Army, they launched a fierce attack on Yizhou City.

Under the fierce bombardment of dozens of Leigong cannons and hundreds of stone chariots, Zong Han's army in the city did not have many decent counterattack weapons. If it takes less than a stick of incense, they will be blasted into scum by the artillery of the Fubo Army outside their range. Not to mention the futility, it will cost a lot of Jin Jun's life.

Zong Han was so depressed that he was about to die. When he was attacking the city, he was pressed and beaten from the top of the city. Now he is defending the city by himself, but he is still pressed and beaten by the Fubo army from a distance. The soldiers will go out of the city to attack the Fubo army, but under the fierce firepower of the Fubo army, they basically never go back. Soon they become prisoners of the Fubo army and are driven back to attack Yizhou City.

After capturing more than 1 soldiers from Yinshuke, Yang Zaixing launched a general attack on Yizhou. Anyway, he was not his main force. Yizhou City.

This battle lasted for three days and three nights, and both sides paid a heavy price. The east gate of Yizhou City collapsed under the fierce bombardment of many artillery and stone wagons, and a large number of Fubo troops rushed in immediately. Entered Yizhou City.

At this time, Zong Han was beaten like a rabbit. When the east gate collapsed, he immediately led his army to rush out from the north gate, and fled desperately to Chengzhou. In less than a month, Zong Han's army had more than 7 soldiers. People were beaten until there were only more than [-] people left, and the rest were either killed or captured, and became generals of the Fubo Army. They turned around and began to attack Zong Han's army fiercely.

Under such a fierce attack, Zong Han's army was completely disabled, so he had to abandon Chengzhou and fled to Longhua Prefecture, where he echoed the Wanyan Xieye army of Linhuang Mansion and stood firm again.

As the only army of the Dajin Kingdom to attack all the way, under the leadership of Wu Qimai's third prince Wanyan Zongying, he sent troops from Tongzhou to attack Shenzhou, in an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Fubo Army to advance westward, and at least regain Shenzhou. Zhou saved some face.

But unfortunately, it was Kong Qingxi who led the army again after recovering from his injuries. Kong Qingxi almost died in the hands of the Koreans in the first battle of Kaizhou, but after half a year of recuperation, he had recovered from his injuries and was taken out by Xu Yi. Kaizhou was transferred to Shenzhou and stayed behind in Shenzhou. This time, he had assembled more than [-] soldiers in Shenzhou. Although these people were all auxiliary soldiers and garrison troops assembled from Liaodong, their combat effectiveness was not necessarily high. It's much worse than the three main corps, and Lin Xiong was also transferred from Fuzhou to Shenzhou by Xu Yi. As his deputy, the two of them are really not easy to deal with.

The result is that after Wan Yan Zongying led the army to Shenzhou, before he could gain a firm foothold, Lin Xiong, a fierce general, led a 3000-strong sword team, and he slashed fiercely, forcing him to retreat for thirty miles. Only then stood still.

After Congxin arrived in Shenzhou City, Wanyan Zongying had tasted the sharpness of the Fubo Army's artillery. Because he underestimated the enemy and was careless, he was eager to take down Shenzhou City, so he personally went into battle to supervise the battle. He ran within the range of the Thunder Cannon, and was discovered by Kong Qingxi in the city, and ordered the gunner to bombard him violently. This guy was lucky, he was not bombed and killed outside Shenzhou City on the spot, but the horse was killed on the spot. So that he no longer dared to approach Shenzhou City easily.

The two sides were stalemate in Shenzhou City like this, one fight every three days, one fight every five days, no one could do anything to the other.

Even Sun Hai's navy, who was a partisan division this time, had boosted their morale after burning down Gao Biao's all-way gold army in Pingzhou. The Jin army in the large area to the north was eliminated, and basically controlled the entire territory of Tianjin in later generations (the ancient Yellow River in the Song Dynasty is different from the current Yellow River. It flows through Hebei and Shandong and takes Tianjin into the sea! I hereby mark it!) Xu Xu Yi's army no longer had any worries, while some small warships of Sun Hai's navy entered the Yellow River estuary and set up defenses here, cutting off the return route of the Jin army remaining in Shandong area, causing a very big blow to the Jin army in the south. mental stress.

On the whole, the offensives of the three armies of the Fubo Army have achieved their goals at the beginning of the war, and the progress is basically smooth, and Shenzhou has also restrained Zongying's golden army outside the city, making it impossible to attack Liaodong. Continue to make half a step forward, and basically completed the expectation before this battle.

After Xu Yi defeated the Wushu army in Jizhou, after a short period of reorganization, he left Jizhou and headed for Yanshan Mansion.

After the First Battle of Jizhou, Jin Wushu's South Route Jin Army was greatly weakened, and was no longer able to organize a counterattack against Xu Yi's army, so he could only watch helplessly as Xu Yi led his army to eat up the territory east of Yanshan Mansion. He went down, but hid in Yanshan mansion and stared blankly.

The news of Wushu's defeat quickly spread to Dezhou, Hejian, Zhendingfu and other places. The left-behind Jin army was in an uproar when they got the news. Now they can be said to have become the piece of meat sandwiched between them. The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and the army of the Fubo Army to the north, the Song Army could not let them take it seriously before, but now they have so few troops, let alone attacking, even stationed in these cities , They all felt that there was a serious shortage of troops, so the defending generals everywhere began to panic, thinking about what to do next.

The most sad thing is probably the real Jin army. From the time when Wushu assembled in Yanshan Mansion to send troops to attack Jinghai country, Wushu originally thought that he had reached a tacit understanding with the officials of the Song Dynasty. The Song army stood still and gave him a peace. The Jinghai Kingdom had a chance to compete, but what they didn't expect was that the Hebei Zongze Army did not obey Zhao Xu's will. Both Yue Fei and Wang Yan brazenly sent troops, attacked Zhending City, and outside Zhending Mansion, merged At one point, the United launched an attack on Zhending Mansion.

The reason why Yue Fei did this was due to his personality. In history, Yue Fei belonged to the kind of rebellious and famous general. He couldn't, this time he continued to repeat his own life trajectory according to his personality.

Just when Wushu was defeated and fled back to Yanshan Mansion, Zhending Mansion also declared emergency, the city of the state capital was surrounded by Wang Yan and Yue Fei's armies, and they began to launch fierce attacks on Zhending again and again.

Even Shanxi's Zhong Shidao brazenly resisted the order this time, and led his army to storm Daizhou City, beating the Jin army led by Zong Jun of Daizhou's generation into a panic.

After their actions were reported back to Bianliang, Zhao Xu was immediately furious. Originally, his plan was to sit on the sidelines and watch Xu Yi and Jin Guo fight to the death. Then he ordered the northern armies to stop the Northern Expedition. Thinking that these generals dared to resist the order and disrespect, and sent troops to attack the Jin army without authorization. In his opinion, this was an absolute treason, and it helped Xu Yi a lot invisibly, so he immediately issued an order and severely reprimanded all the army generals , ordered them to stop their actions immediately, return to their original station, and take a defensive posture.

The reason why he did this was because the northern armies intentionally or unintentionally concealed the situation of the battle after they started their operations. He did not receive the news of Wushu's defeat in Jizhou in the first place, and thought that Jinwu was defeated. Shu is leading the army to fight fiercely with Xu Yi's Fubo army!

So when the imperial decree was passed on to the armies of the various routes, it once again caused an uproar among the soldiers in the army. Seeing that the recovery of the lost ground was in sight, the holy master who was in charge of the battle didn't know which muscle was wrong. Severely reprimanding them for their actions, and asking them to give up their current advantages and retreat to their original garrison places immediately caused the morale of the army to drop. First of all, Wang Yanjun and Yue Feijun of Zhending Mansion had to stop attacking the city , with a stomach full of fire, withdrew from Zhending Mansion, and garrisoned troops south of Zhending, and both of them were strictly ordered to be punished in the army, waiting to be dealt with.

The soldiers in the army were almost betrayed by anger. At any rate, these two men were utterly loyal, and finally suppressed the dissatisfaction in the army, so that no catastrophe was caused. But at this time, as Marshal Zong Ze, but finally finished his life, and died of illness in Xingzhou sadly. After the news reached Bianliang, Zhao Xu was shocked immediately, and the army in Hebei also became confused after learning the news of Zongze's death.

The Hebei armies were originally the local forces gathered by Zongze. Under his banner, they jointly resisted the Jin soldiers. Wang Yan had a high reputation in the army, but the two of them were not enough to convince these generals, and the two of them themselves were punished in the army. After Zongze's death, some soldiers became a group of bandits again. On the surface, they played the banner of the Hebei Army, but secretly began to plunder the common people indiscriminately. up.

When the news reached Zhao Xu's ears, Hebei was already in chaos. Only Yue Fei and Wang Yan's army maintained a defensive state against the northern Jin army, and the other armies basically became a gang of mobs or rogues. Bandit or something.

At this time, the news of Wushu's defeat finally spread to Bianliang. Li Gang immediately found Zhao Xu and told Zhao Xu the news, so Zhao Xu hurriedly delivered an order to immediately absolve Yue Fei, Wang Yan and others of their guilt, ordering Yue Fei to send troops In the Hejian Mansion, Wang Yanbing dispatched the Zhending Mansion, and at the same time reactivated Zhang Suo, appointed him as the Hebei Road System Envoy, and reconquered those disobedient Hebei armies. Otherwise, once the Fubo army wins across the board, if the Fubo army takes Zhendinghejian and other places, it will be really difficult to get these places back from Xu Yi in the future!

And Zhang Shuye from Shandong also received the order. Zhao Xu ordered him to raise troops immediately to recover Dezhou as soon as possible, and cooperate with Yue Fei's army to recover Hejian Mansion. state city.

The situation was originally good, but under Zhao Xu's tossing, it gave the Jin army another month of preparation time. When the soldiers and horses from all walks of life set out to attack, this time it was even more difficult to conquer!
This is politics. Politics is not concerned with the number of deaths of one's own soldiers, but with some misty interests.

And when the first light snow fell on Yanshan Mansion with the north wind, Xu Yi's army also arrived at Yanshan Mansion. It has been another month and a half since Xu Yi's Jinghai Kingdom started in mid-August. At this time, the war has entered the final stage. In just one autumn, under the attack of several armies of the Jinghai Kingdom, the border of the Jinghai Kingdom has once again expanded a lot, and the land south of Longhua Prefecture, Linhuang Mansion, and Tongzhou is all It was incorporated into the territory of Jinghai Kingdom.

The Golden Army of Jin Wushu on the southern line was squeezed into the Yanshan Mansion. Xu Yi looked at the small snowflakes falling in the sky, wiped his armor, and looked at the majestic city wall of Yanshan Mansion. Said: "Another year is going to pass! It seems that this year we will spend the winter in Yanshan Mansion!"

Li Bo also looked at the city wall of Yanshan Mansion, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right! This year has passed so quickly! It seems that we are going to take down Yanshan Mansion soon. As long as we pull out this place, it turns out The southern area of ​​the old Liao Dynasty is now in the hands of the king! This time, the general wants to see where Jin Wushu can go!"

The army dispersed, and all kinds of siege equipment were gradually transported to the city, and Yanshan Mansion was firmly besieged. Dark clouds filled the sky, and the war would begin at any time. At this time, Yanshan Mansion City was already in chaos. There was a ball.
