Volume Two, Bianliang Mistake, Chapter 251, Shuo Qi Cold (End)
The Jurchen army gathered and cheered, which shocked the mountains and valleys, and snow powder fell from the trees in the mountains. [This article comes from]
These two military horses went deep into the path, and fought thousands of miles in the bitter and cold weather, and suffered a lot. The military's resources were all gained by the gains. Needless to say, they had to fight continuously and galloped in the wind and snow. Even though the Jurchen horses were strong and tough, everyone was thin and took off their bodies. The armor on their bodies was broken, and the strong horses under their crotch were fat. The mane that had not been trimmed for a long time was long and messy.
Thousands of Jurchen soldiers penetrated into the clouds in such weather, which could be said to be a desperate bet. If the Yingzhou channel cannot be opened, it would not be unexpected if it encounters an accident and the entire army is wiped out. Now that the two armies are renounced, the key pass of Yingzhou is already in their hands. How can these Jurchen Tartars not be ecstatic and cheer like beast roars?
Surrounded by the joyful guards, Yinshu and Lou Shi gathered together on both sides. Under the dancing flag, Yinshu and Lou Shi jumped off their horses and hugged each other hard.
Lou Shi is also a short and strong man with the usual big-bread face of the Jurchens. He and Yin Shu are the best friends under Zong Han's command, and have always been the two generals that Zong Han values the most. The two have always cooperated tacitly. With Lou Shi restrained the enemy troops in Wuzhou and Shuozhou, Yin Shu dared to fight Yingzhou with confidence. Lou Shi believed that Yin Shu could defeat Yingzhou with less than 2,000 troops!
Lou Shi first let out his hands, glanced behind Yin Shuke, and smiled and said, "You will finally defeat Yingzhou! If it fails, we will have to go back. The horses have lost weight and the horse feed will be eaten. Relying on both legs, half of them will die when we return to Datong Mansion. Then we will wipe our necks side by side in front of Zonghan."
Yin Shuke said, "Even if Yingzhou can't be taken down, the military horses in Yun cannot chew us. It's just a stalemate here. If there are a large number of reinforcements behind them, it will be a different scene."
Lou Shi beat Yin Shuke's shoulder and made a punch: "Does these opponents have reinforcements? Anyway, now that Yingzhou is in the hand, are we still afraid of a bird? From Yingzhou to the south, see who can stand in front of our horse's hooves?"
He looked at the scene after the war in Yingzhou again, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "The thief was burned clean, isn't this battle soft?"
Yin Shuke nodded with a heavy face: "I and the God of Ceres have been led by the siege. Nearly half of the heavy armored infantry warriors fought head-on and fought several battles. It took a long time to defeat the defenders. This battle was hard!"
Lou Shi scanned the silver craft and horses behind him. All the ranks of mobs were withering. Many Jurchen athletes were hanging their arms and wrapped around their heads, and their armor was full of broken marks. Facing the people they knew, they were telling the tragic battle in Yingzhou. When it comes to the pain, there were even Jurchen warriors crying, beating their chests and stamping their feet. They looked so painful.
Since the rise of the Jurchen army, such post-war scenes have been rare!
It's nothing strange to say. The Battle of Yingzhou was the battle of those moccasins, with severe casualties. Under the tribal military system, each moccasins were united by military and civilians, and they heard each other. So many young and strong people died, and within a moccasins, they added a lot of Jurchen orphans and widows, which consumed their vitality. I don't know how many years it took to recover. The Jurchen army surged across the north, and I don't know how many people were slaughtered in the years. The household registration in the north was empty. When it was my turn, I realized that it was not good!
Lou Shi's face was also a little heavy, and he nodded: "Zong Han will definitely make up for you Mouke...... When Zong Han's army arrives, we will kill all the men in Yunnei. All their women are slaves and give Yin Shu, your Mouke revenge!"
Yin Shuke snorted: "That's natural. My men under my command can't die in vain. We have to slaughter a few places to be worthy of so many men who died in battle..."
Lou Shi looked around again: "I heard that the God of Valley is here, where is he? I have worked hard to come north, isn't it worth his welcome?"
Yin Shuke smiled with a smile: "You don't know this man, Gu Shen. Now he doesn't look like a Jurchen man. He takes a step back when he sees the fight. This time he has made some effort in Yingzhou. Yingzhou is so hard that after taking it down, he hurriedly turns around to welcome Zonghan. I'm waiting for Zonghan's army to arrive here to prepare for a big battle, and I say that I must protect the Yingzhou path before Zonghan goes south!"
Lou Shi exclaimed and said disapprovingly: "There are thousands of warriors in our army. Who dares to come to rob Yingzhou? I still hope to take a breath here and have a good rest. This time I went south, the men have really worked hard!"
Yin Shuke's face was sunk and said in a serious tone: "Lou Shi, if you deal with these Liao remnants, don't you find anything wrong?"
Seeing Yin Shu, Lou Shi looked solemn, and his family became serious and said seriously: "I went south and fought near Shuozhou for half a month. They just plundered the four Wubibao Villages, and they surrendered and fled. They didn't fight any tough battles. Then I regained the Liao army early. Since I was so honest, I was too lazy to chase and fight, so I would protect your flanks. The agreed time came, and I would lead the army to move north. I knew halfway through Yingzhou, so I would speed up and meet up... What's wrong with these Khitan dogs?"
Yin Shuke shook his head deeply: "It's not a Khitan dog... I always feel that the horse in Yunnei is the Song army. It's the Song army I met in Yan land! The horse will be ruined in their hands! The princess of the Shu Kingdom who is a straight thief, who is not sure how it sets up a guise. There is a girl who can fight, using two swords long and short to personally fight, killing many of us, and finally escaped to Longshou Village!"
Lou Shi then realized that the flag of the Jurchen army was not floating on Longshou Village. Hearing such a woman who could fight, he also showed a curious look on his face. This expression flashed away, and then he had a ferocious face: "Yes, but you say yes, that's it. Even the Song people's army and horses are not afraid of. Isn't it just to meet the Song people earlier? If the fight is smooth, it's also unpredictable for us to go straight to the Song people's capital Bianliang. Is the southern man who killed the Shuhe horse surnamed Xiao? He chopped his head and gave Zong Han this breath! It would be better that he leads the army and robs Yingzhou in person!"
Yin Shu laughed: "Lou Shi, that Southern Army cannot be underestimated! But some tough battles are to be fought... But I just think that as long as this Southern Army is defeated, the Song people's country will be opened in front of our Jurchen army! You and I are just vanguards, just wait for Zong Han's army to arrive, and join forces together, even if we are a huge enemy, we can only crush them in front of our horse's hooves!"
"Now, wait for Zong Han to arrive smoothly!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A grand camp was set up in the south of Datong Prefecture, Xijing.
After Zong Han returned, he had not entered the city and led his personal guards to set out to prepare for the southern expedition. It turned out that the Jurchen army and horses who had enjoyed happiness in the city of Datong, Xijing, all drove out of the city and joined the camp after seeing the commander's actions.
During these days, Zonghan's army orders were issued at a price. In addition to the army and horses of the Jurchen headquarters of the Western Route Army, they also recruited the surrendered Xi army, Bohai army, Han army, and even a few Khitan army. The tribes on the grassland also recruited the followers for them, and the camp was expanded every day.
In order to supply this army, in addition to the accumulation of Datong Prefecture in Xijing, other places under Zong Han's control also brought the general's resources and fodder. Countless Shengkous followed the army as civilians. The grassland tribes also rushed to a large number of cattle and sheep, and even under the power of the Jurchens, they transported all the cattle and sheep that had survived the winter. In order to go south this time, the broken Former West Jing Road and several former Liao robberies shocked the grassland tribes to plunder the department cleanly. On the way to transfer, the corpses were met. When the future was not met, I don't know how much hunger would be added!
In the camp, countless flags were flying, and new flags were added every day. The Jurchen soldiers, who had originally enjoyed the fruits of victory and had soft bones, began to recover their true nature of being happy when they heard the battle. The morale of the army did not stay as high as the peak of the flag, as long as the gathering of unprecedented troops would roll south in this weather that was not suitable for troops, and drown everything in the sea of blood!
In the middle of the camp, Zong Han's three-foot-thousand-pure black tower was floating. Jurchen soldiers guarded them layer by layer, and countless riders ran back and forth. The solemn and murderous aura filled with them.
After Wanyan Xiyin returned yesterday and brought the news that Yingzhou Road was opened, the whole army focused on this pure black tower.
Waiting for Zong Han to issue an order for the entire army to go south!
At the dawn of dawn, the sound of horns suddenly sounded and heard a lot of calls. Jurchen generals who were discussing affairs in Zonghan's tent rushed out, and the personal guards welcomed them on their own mounts. These Jurchen generals rushed out like a whip.
Soon, the entire camp began to stir up. Teams of Jurchen knights drove out one after another, and all the food, fodder and military funds were loaded into the truck. A large group of cattle and sheep were driven out.
Thousands of servants and tribes were driven out of the broken camp tent that was leaking everywhere, or even the ground nest. In the cold wind, they watched the Jurchen knights who were full and warm, dressed in warm clothes, were neatly armored, sharp weapons, and well-equipped, cheered and set off in groups.
Everyone was shouting something in Jurchen.
At this time, if you want to make a living under the Jurchens, you can understand some of the Jurchens. Even if you don’t understand, someone will naturally explain it.
Countless Jurchen military horses were just shouting a sentence.
"Look south, go south! Go grab the Southern Dynasty!"
