Chapter 104: Restoring Qi Huang
Chapter 104: Restoration of Qi Huang
During the Huaixi sweep led by Zhang Shijie, others were proud and won one after another. Only Jiang Xin was in a bad mood. He was in trouble and had the most unwilling thing he wanted to do. He entered the north of Huangzhou with great fanfare and immediately surrounded the Mongolian army, and finally surrounded the hills. When he thought of this, Jiang Xin felt as uncomfortable as eating ten thousand dead flies. It is certain that if Zhang Shijie was in front of him, he would definitely question Zhang Shijie without hesitation why he had to give him such bad things and leave good things to others.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xin still had to face the fact that he was trapped in a siege, cheer up and motivate his soldiers to fight. With Jiang Xin's inspiration, the Song army rose up to fight. Although there were only 10,000 soldiers, nearly 30,000 Mongolian troops could not go beyond the line.
As Jiang Xin expected, Mongolian reinforcements continued to arrive, and in the end there were about 50,000. The reason why the Mongolian army was so active was not only because the Mongolian military orders were extremely strict, but also because the Mongolian army suffered consecutive defeats, which had a lot to do with the failure of the battle. The 50,000 Mongolian army surrounded Jiang Xin and had a 100,000 chance of winning, and it was a great thing that only made money but not lost. If we didn’t take this opportunity to fight, when would we still show our face?
The current military strength comparison is one to five. Jiang Xin is at an absolute disadvantage. If you want to break through, you can only think about it in your heart. Looking at the soldiers who are fighting against their will, Jiang Xin had to make a decision against his will and shouted: "Brothers: take out your spirit and cut the sword at the head of the Tartars! Brothers, Mr. Zhang will not abandon us. Mr. Zhang has led reinforcements and we will soon win a big victory!" He added a hateful sentence in his heart: "It's weird! Unless the sun comes out from the west."
Zhang Shijie was brave and resourceful, and had a high prestige in the Huaixi Army. In the extreme unfavorable situation, Jiang Xin had to raise Zhang Shijie's banner to motivate the soldiers. At this moment, Jiang Xin knew very well that Zhang Shijie didn't know where he was, so where would he come to rescue him. He obviously had a lot of complaints about Zhang Shijie, but he had to borrow his halo to motivate the soldiers. Don't mention Jiang Xin's feelings, the degree of discomfort has reached an indescribable level.
The Song army is now in full swing and strong. Even if they are surrounded by heavy siege, they are not afraid of fighting very tenaciously. If they encourage Jiang Xin's lies, they will be greatly boosted and they will be even more fierce. Although the Mongolian army has the advantage of military strength, they cannot take advantage of the hilly areas with relatively complex terrain. It goes without saying that the cavalry is useless. Without the powerful weapon of cavalry, the Mongolian army is like losing one arm, and it is impossible to end the battle in a short time.
The Song army used terrain cover to fight maneuver and flexible and extremely tenacious. The Mongolian army could only adopt delay tactics and hoped to consume Jiang Xin and the others.
This battle lasted for two days and two nights, and both sides paid a lot of money. The Song army was almost 3,000 casualties, while the Mongolian army was much more serious, almost 5,000. The reason why the Song army was able to achieve such results was not only because they used the terrain as cover, but also because of their excellent equipment that was far above the Mongolian army, especially the hand-thrown cast iron bombs, which showed their power, which made the Mongolian army suffer.
Although the Mongolian army lost 5,000 troops, it was only one-tenth of the overall situation. For the Song army, the problem was much more serious. This was one-third of the troops. As long as we fought for a few more days and could not break through, the entire army would be wiped out.
With the current strength of the Song army, the possibility of breaking through the siege is zero. Jiang Xin is very clear about how serious the situation he is facing. He thought in despair in his heart: "Only a miracle can save us."
Things in the world are changeable and unpredictable. It was really right for Jiang Xin at this time. What he never expected was that a miracle really happened. His thoughts had just finished. A shocking shout of killing came from a distance. With the sound of killing, there was endless smoke and dust rolling straight into the blue sky, as if sweeping a huge broom, covering the sky and the sun.
The rear formation of the Mongolian army immediately became chaotic, as if it was hit by a sudden blow. People shouted and horses were neighing, and the horses were rushing around, and soldiers rushed to escape. Jiang Xin fought with the Mongolians for many years and knew that the Mongolian army was an army with extremely strong combat power. It can be said that it was defeated but not subdued. Even in the face of failure, it would maintain a high degree of organizational discipline. Such chaotic things are rare, and I couldn't help but look at the chaotic Mongolian army formation in awe.
A shocking explosion sounded, and a shout that went straight to the sky: "Long live the emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
Jiang Xin heard the explosion and shouting countless times, and could hear the roar of Song Jun with half of his ear. At this moment, Jiang Xin's terrible mood had a big turn, and he suddenly became extremely excited, as if he suddenly heard the Tianyin Fairy Music, extremely comfortable and indescribable enjoyment. He suddenly jumped onto a stone and shouted: "Brothers: Our reinforcements are here, Marshal Zhang is here. Brothers, use the blood of the Tartars to clean our swords!" He pulled the sword in his hand, held high on his head, and played a very beautiful sword flower to express his best mood at the moment, and said: "Kill!" He jumped far away and rushed out first.
The soldiers also heard it. They knew that reinforcements were really coming, and they were all excited. They shouted and rushed down the hills, using their precious swords to exaggerate the resentment accumulated over the past few days. They were like tigers in the South Mountain. They could tie tigers up on the mountain and kill dragons in the sea. Wherever they passed, they would inevitably be broken corpses on the ground.
The Mongolian army never expected that when victory was in sight, it would take another big reversal. They had heard a lot about the Song army's special skills in scheduling a big reversal, but they didn't believe it at all. It was not until they experienced it personally that the rumors were true and that the Song army was the best at scheduling a big reversal.
The Mongolian army, which was completely unprepared, was attacked by the Song army, and it would not be possible to not be defeated. It would collapse in a wholesale manner soon. Under such circumstances, no matter how high the military ability is, it would not be possible to reverse the crisis. Even if Genghis Khan was underground, it would not be possible to turn the crisis into safety. It would be unreasonable for the Mongolian army to collapse.
This was a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle, almost annihilated nearly 50,000 Mongolian troops here, and less than a thousand people escaped.
Jiang Xinshou, who was stained with blood, held the sword that was still dripping blood, strode in the sea of blood, and ran towards Zhang's big flag. Before he could even get enough blood to flow into the soil, he would splash a beautiful blood flower on every step. Jiang Xin was in a good mood and felt that Zhang's big flag, who was originally hated, was extremely beautiful and stretched like a picture. If he didn't show his gratitude to Zhang Shijie in front of him, he would be too sorry for this wise and great boss.
"Sir! Sir!" Jiang Xingao shouted and ran to the post. He saw a general standing under Zhang's banner. He was not someone else, but Zhang Wu. Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Zhang Wu, is it you? Why are you here? Aren't you in Hefei?" After a series of questions, he really thought that Zhang Wu had a few mouths and could answer them clearly at once.
Zhang Wu opened his mouth and smiled, saying, "What's wrong? Why can't I be here? Huangzhou only allows you to come, not let me come? Is there any reason for you? You are such a rich man." After that, he started to joke, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but not to joke.
"No, no." Jiang Xin hurriedly explained: "I'm just very strange. Hefei is nervous. How could you get here?"
Zhang Wu smiled and said, "You really like to read the old calendar. That's the past. Hefei is now very safe, safer than your family. There are still a few rats that steal food at home, and there are not even one rat in Hefei." He was really exaggerated.
"When you come, there will be rats in Huangzhou." Jiang Xin immediately responded and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Zhang Wu jumped off the horse, punched Jiang Xin on the shoulder, and said, "You are so stupid. Of course, our Lord Zhang led his army to Hefei. Not only did he lift my siege, but he also defeated Hefei. These are all trivial matters, not only did they? Master Zhang predicted things like a god, and everything was defeated. Just a few Tartars used a little trick to him and all of them were transferred to Hefei City. This battle not only brought the peace of Hefei, but also the peace of the entire Huaixi region."
Humans are really strange animals. When Zhang Wu and the others didn't understand Zhang Shijie's intention, they kept making opposition to Zhang Shijie, and even wrote a letter to Li Jun. Now that they understood Zhang Shijie's wonderful plan, they were very happy and praised him, and they actually bragged the magic snail for Zhang Shijie.
Jiang Xin felt something and said, "Did I say that I came to Huangzhou as a bait, in order to attract all the Tartars in Huangzhou?"
"You only understand now that it's so stupid." Zhang Wu punched Jiang Xin on the shoulder again and said, "I didn't tell you that after the battle in Hefei was resolved, Marshal Zhang ordered us to cover up his flags and follow you. You kid, you know that you are going around with the Tartars, and you don't know how to pay more attention. We are behind you, but the time is not right, and you didn't jump out. Every move of your kid is in the control of Marshal Zhang." It can be imagined that if there was a famous book "Journey to the West" at that time, he would definitely say, "You Monkey King can escape from the palm of Zhang Dagata's hand."
Jiang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhang is really, it made me in vain for so many days."
As soon as he finished speaking, a questioning voice sounded: "What's wrong with me?" It was Zhang Shijie who came with great strides under the clan of the generals.
For Jiang Xin at this time, Zhang Shijie's status in his heart suddenly increased to the point of equality with the gods. He turned over and bowed down and said, "See the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal, the Grand Marshal has offended many times the day before yesterday, so please forgive me. The Grand Marshal is so disrespectful to the Grand Marshal, and he deserves to die. But the Tartars have not killed them all. The Grand Marshal has to kill more Tartars. Please let the Grand Marshal let the Grand Marshal temporarily go. After the mountains and rivers are restored, the Grand Marshal should wipe his neck to thank the Grand Marshal." I remembered that I had written a letter to Li Jun before and asked to deal with Zhang Shijie's affairs, and I was extremely ashamed. This was apologizing for the blame.
Zhang Shijie hurriedly helped him up and said, "Jiang Xin, you are so serious. The wrong thing is Zhang Shijie. You can discuss it with everyone if you have something to do. There is no need to make it so mysterious."
"Sir, don't. This matter is very secret. I would rather keep it in the dark than know such a secret matter." Jiang Xin immediately objected.
Zhang Wu poked Jiang Xin under the armpit and asked in his ear: "Jiang Xin, are you afraid of death? You have also found so many excuses and said that you will die in the future."
"Go. Stay wherever you cool down, you won't have enough to say anything." Jiang Xin said with a red face.
The loving generals talked like this because they had a good relationship. Zhang Shijie was very happy and extricated Jiang Xin and said, "Zhang Wu, don't say it anymore. Now, I will give you two more chores. Do you dare to take it?"
For Jiang Xin and Zhang Wu at this time, it would be fine if not to talk about chores, even if Zhang Shijie wanted to chop their necks, the two of them patted their chests without thinking, "Master, please give me instructions. Go to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, and don't frown."
"Well. I thought you were so brave that you had no courage to make trouble for the unlucky thing, but I didn't expect that the courage was still there. It was good, good." Zhang Shijie was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and his face turned solemn, saying, "Zhang Wu obeyed the order!"
Zhang Wu knew that Zhang Shijie must be extremely serious when handling official duties, and also had a solemn face, and said, "The last one is here."
"Zhang Wu, I ordered you to lead your troops to quickly arrive in Qizhou and take over the city." Zhang Shijie ordered.
Although Zhang Wu had questions, he still took the order first and said, "Abide by the order!"
"Jiang Xin obeyed the order!" Zhang Shijie looked at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin's face was stern and said, "The last one is here!"
"Jiang Xin, I am the commander, you will lead your troops to Huangzhou to quickly receive the city." After Zhang Shijie ordered, his serious expression disappeared immediately and became very relaxed.
Zhang Wu and Jiang Xin complained at the same time, "Master, this is such a good thing. It actually made you a chore and it made people worry for nothing." After the two complained, they asked at the same time, "Master, Qizhou and Huangzhou have been defeated? The Master is really wise. As long as the Master takes action, there is nothing that cannot be done." For Zhang Wu and Jiang Xin, Zhang Shijie was omnipotent at this time, and it was not a piece of cake to conquer Qi and Huang states.
"Don't put gilds on my face." Zhang Shijie did not dare to accept the praises of the two of them, and said, "There is another person who conquered Qi and Huang states. This is the main master. We all create conditions for him. Remember, your actions must be fast, otherwise the city will fall into the hands of the Mongolians again."
Zhang Wu and Jiang Xin Zun Ling said, "Zun Ling. Grand Marshal, who is the real master?"
"Don't you know when you arrive?" Zhang Shijie kept it in hiding.
The plan proposed by the young officer was very strict, as if one was a chain, linked together, one by one, and one by the other. The Huaixi land used Hefei as bait to attract the Mongolian army in the Huaixi land, and then surrounded and annihilated it. The Qihuang land still adopted the strategy of luring the enemy out, so the city did not use bait here, but sent a brigade of partial divisions to enter the north of Huangzhou and set up an invasion of Huangzhou. The Mongolian army in the Qihuang land would come out to encircle and annihilate the partial divisions.
After Zhang Shijie wiped out the Mongolian army in Hefei, he immediately led the army, covered the flag and sank the drums, walked at night and hiked during the day. Wherever he passed, anyone who knew their whereabouts was captured and brought in the army to avoid being exposed. Therefore, they followed Jiang Xin and did not know that until the Mongolian army in Qihuang surrounded Jiang Xin, Zhang Shijie immediately deployed to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian army.
Once the deployment is completed, the attack will be carried out immediately, and the Mongolian army is still wiped out. At this point, the Mongolian army entrenched in Huaixi and Qihuang has been completely wiped out, and the Huaixi and Qihuang areas are all restored.
Of course, Zhang Shijie gave them generous compensation after the war was over.
Jiang Xin led his troops to rush into Huangzhou City like a wind, and went straight to the Mongolian military camp. Jiang Xin, a person who had been living on the battlefield for a long time, could smell the strong bloody smell emitted from Huangzhou City from afar. He knew that something big happened in Huangzhou, and maybe the Mongolians were going crazy and massacred the people, and were ready to fight, so he went straight to the Mongolian military camp.
However, the incident was completely unexpected. The bloody smell in the Mongolian military camp was so strong that it was unbearable. Jiang Xin, who had beaten countless people to roll back among the dead, could not bear it. He endured the disgust and entered the Mongolian military camp. The Mongolian military camp was full of broken corpses, colorful intestines, broken internal organs, broken limbs and broken arms, broken swords and arrows. The blood that had not been immersed in the soil was still flowing. Looking around, there was no complete corpse. The miserable scene was the first encounter in his life.
If there were magic novels at that time, Jiang Xin would have said without hesitation that "this is the masterpiece of the devil" or the masterpiece of the demons dancing. The nausea in his heart was infinitely amplified, and he could no longer help it. He bent down and vomited, and fled out of the Mongolian military camp like flying, vomited in a corner, spitting out all the yellow galls.
Jiang Xin was vomiting, and his personal soldiers came to report: "Sir, catch a spy."
"Bring it up." Jiang Xin covered his mouth with his hands and said to the captured Mongolian military academy: "What are you doing?"
The Mongolian Military Academy said: "I was ordered to report the news. The Qizhou defenders killed all the Nanman. However, the Nanman had withdrawn and asked Lord Jueluo Xin to send troops to regain the city." Less than half an hour from the attack on Qizhou, the Mongolian army was completely wiped out, and Qizhou had become an empty city. As long as a small Mongolian army could be recaptured. If the Huangzhou guard general Jueluo Xin knew about it, he would definitely send troops, which would be another great achievement.
"Your plan is good, but it's a pity that your queen mother realized it. Jueluo Xin will never go again." Jiang Xin teased and praised in his heart: "Jie Jin is a kid with a fast knife, quick movement, and faster footwork." Jiang Xin heard a sound of thunder-like hooves flying west from afar, and hurriedly rode his horse to go there, and saw a piece of smoke and dust. He didn't know who it was. Now he understood that killing the Mongolian garrison in Huangzhou was Jie Jin's masterpiece.
The Mongolian Military Academy asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
