The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 551 The First Battle

The military flags of Houjin's vanguard cavalry army have been flying all over Jinyang County, and the cavalry of Heishuihe are galloping back and forth in Jinyang County, roaring strangely and waving scimitars, trying to show off their military power, and the people in the county are panicked All day long, there is no peace.

If the city of Jinyang is broken, Dazhou will never have a chance to make a comeback in the northern border.

Since 30 years ago, after being expelled from the Central Plains by the army led by King Zhongshan and King Qiyang under the command of Emperor Taizu Gao, Houjin Mohe's horseshoe has never crossed the thunder pond.

Whether it was Zhao Wang Zhu Kai who guarded Yancheng, or the later Liang Guogong Hu Yu and his successors, including being ambushed by Monk Wanyan Chen in Yaoerling, the governor of the Longwu Army, Zhao Xuanli, was suppressing Jiannu before the defeat of Tumubao. .

Finally, they waited for an unprecedented opportunity.

Thirty years later, Houjin's iron hoof finally set foot on the border of Jinyang County.

The soldiers of Hou Jin believed that in the near future, they would go south to China and become the real masters of this fertile land as they did back then.

Zhou people will not be so lucky this time, there will not be another Emperor Gaozu who will stand up!
The vanguard of Houjin has a total of 5 people, and they are under the command of Nurhachi.

Originally, the most aggressive attack was the Zhongxiao Army under the command of Monk Wanyan Chen. This elite soldier who could defeat the Yuanmeng iron cavalry head-on in cavalry battles, without the main force of the Zhou Dynasty blocking the city, was invincible. The local garrison, It is not an enemy at all.

Such a rapid offensive naturally aroused Nurhachi's dissatisfaction. He originally planned to establish his absolute authority in Houjin through this battle going south.

Although the Jianzhou Palace Change allowed Nurhachi to gain the highest power in Jianzhou Mohe, not everyone was convinced of Nurhachi.

Nurhachi's Eight Banners Department is actually not orthodox in the Jurchen lineage.

The Jurchen unified vein was called Yilou from the former Han Dynasty to the former Jin Dynasty, and it was called Heishui Mohe from the former Tang Dynasty to the present.

Taizu Liao said, "If there are ten thousand Jurchen soldiers, they are invincible." This is what he said, and it has nothing to do with the Eight Banners.

In the Battle of Hunhe on the blue star, whether it was the white-armed soldiers of the Sichuan Army or the Qi Family Army of the Zhejiang Army, they were all isolated and helpless, and there were many internal conflicts. They beat the Eight Banners soldiers with superior strength.

Of course, one cannot deny the combat power of the Eight Banners Army under Nurha Chi's command. They live on fishing and hunting, and their bodies are strong, so their combat power is naturally not weak.

However, Hou Jinbenzhi took the line established by Wanyan Aguda as the orthodoxy, which was recognized by the ministries of Jianzhou.

And Nurhachi's Eight Banners are just the tribes that Gu Stone went south. Although they are also known as Jurchen, they can only be regarded as side branches.

Although Nurhachi was awarded the title of Zongwang by virtue of his military exploits against Goryeo, he was not recognized among the Jurchen Wanyan lineage and even most of the later Jin ministers.

Among the Hou Jin who valued blood, Nurha Chi must have absolute prestige and unparalleled military power if he wants to usurp the throne as Sima.

But right now he doesn't have either.

In terms of blood status, there are veterans in the royal family who can rival him.

In terms of military power, Monk Wanyan Chen is even above him.

At this moment, Nurhachi's biggest reliance is the little emperor in his hand, as well as the political support given to him by Gong Ziyu's dark son in Houjin.

If Gong Ziyu turns his back on him, he is not sure that he can control Houjin's political situation.

In order to gain more military power, Nurhachi organized the offensive of Monk Wanyan Chen, and let his cronies serve as the vanguard.

The leader of the [-]-year-old Golden Pioneer is named Biebai, a warrior under Nurhachi's subordinates, who has practiced external skills and has extremely high attainments, and is the commander of the Yellow Banner among the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners under Nurhachi's command.

The color of this flag is yellow with a red border. The yellow flag is the first of the three upper flags. There is no king in the flag.

Biebai's [-] elite soldiers are also one of the elite under Nurha Chi's command. With the elite cavalry inlaid with yellow flags as the core and mixed with other cavalry, they are so powerful that they have few opponents in Jianzhou.

When Biebai's [-] cavalry army approached Jinyang City for fifty miles, Da Zhou's scouts had already reported back.

"Report! The Houjin army with the Yellow Banner is approaching the west of Jinyang City. The number should be more than [-]. At this time, they are resting fifty miles away. According to the eating habits of the Mohe people in war, it is estimated that they will resist Jinyang City in an hour. "

"I see. The scouts need to keep an eye on the condition of the Houjin vanguard troops."

Yu Yanyi, who was on the tower at the west main gate, looked at the sand table in front of him quietly after giving his orders, and muttered to himself, "It's finally here! Let me use the blood of the vanguard army who built slaves to inspire me first." The morale of the army!"

"Order the army, go out of the city to form an array!"

Yu Yanyi wants to take advantage of the fact that the main force of Houjin has not arrived, and preemptively strike.

In order to fight this battle, Yu Yanyi transferred 8000 of the most elite Shenwu Army to the west main gate. Since he wanted to fight, he had to use the sharpest spears.

Then the defeated troops of the Yulin Army and Longwu Army were also transferred to the west main gate, but they were not arranged outside the city, but they guarded the city gate.

Yu Yanyi wanted to defeat Houjin's vanguard from the front with his own hands in front of these defeated soldiers, and let these soldiers who were terrified at the Tumu Fort know that building slaves is nothing more than mediocrity.

Slowly putting on his helmet, Yu Yanyi, who had always been in Confucian robes and literary crowns, changed into a military uniform, rode a curly-haired green-maned horse, and came out from the west main gate.

At this moment, Yu Yanyi was wearing a pair of ancient Mingguang armor, leaped out of the city, and stood in the army formation.

Behind him, the Desheng Gate closed slowly.

All the generals and schools outside the city stared in amazement at this Master of Martial Arts Hall who supervised the Qizhou, and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The most powerful civil servant in the Great Zhou Dynasty really has no plan to go back alive.

"Every soldier who guards the city will fight the enemy bravely, and once the battle begins, it will be a battle to the death!
Before the battle, those who retreat first regardless of the army will be killed immediately!

Before the battle, the army will ignore the first retreat, and the rear team will kill the front team!
Anyone who dares to violate military orders will be shot to death! "

Yu Yanyi rode his horse in the army formation, and the majestic and heavy voice came to the ears of all the soldiers.

This is the famous method of sitting in a row in a military battle. Since then, most of the famous generals have adopted this method.
Hearing this murderous language, the generals around Yu Yanyi once again refreshed their understanding of this cabinet scholar.

Just a month ago, he was a scholar who had never commanded an actual battle, and a refined and easy-going civil servant with a calm and calm expression on his face.

On the cruel battlefield, the weak cannot survive, only the strongest and most resolute strong can survive, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!

Facing the gazes of the officers and men, Yu Yanyi categorically expressed his heart in one sentence:
"What's the use of talking about loyalty all day long, now is the time to show loyalty! Serve the country and kill the enemy, never give up!"

At this moment, Yu Yanyi is not only the highest military officer in Jinyang, but to the generals and soldiers in front of the West Main Gate, this slightly frail figure represents courage and the belief of victory.

A handsome man has the will to die, but a scholar has no greed for life!
Let the blood of Jiannu rekindle the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou! ——
"What did you say?!"

Having just finished eating, Biebai, who was only ten miles away, was looking at the scouts reporting in disbelief as he approached Jinyang City with a large army.

Just now, the scouts under his command came to report that Zhou people were lining up at the west main gate!

That's why Biebai now looks like he's seen a ghost!
Cromoli, the head of ten thousand, was also incredulous, and said: "How dare these Zhou dogs?! Only those remnants of their defeated generals dare to fight us?!"

Although Biebai looks rough, he is not a reckless person. After thinking carefully, he asked, "Who is the leader!?"

The scouts are a bit embarrassed, they are scouts and not death squads, who knows who is the main general? !

"The slave doesn't know who the main general is, but judging from the banner, the flag of the Chinese Army is written with the character 'Yu'!"

Biebai now knows who his opponent is. In Jinyang City at this moment, there is only one general with the surname Yu who is qualified to use the banner of the Chinese Army——Yu Yanyi, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University and a general of the Fuguo State.

This made Biebai's thoughts come alive all of a sudden.

Originally, Nurhachi's order was to let Biebai arrive first, clean up the surrounding area of ​​the city, and maintain a clean environment for the subsequent march of the army.

At the same time, he also specially told him not to attack the city with the Zhou army easily.

Once the vanguard army of Biebai suffered a defeat under Jinyang City, it would have a great impact on the morale of the subsequent siege battle.

The scribe-like person on the side said, "This is a great opportunity for the turtle to worship the general and make meritorious service!"

This person's name is Kong Youde, he is from Qufu, Qizhou, he is a descendant of Shenggong Confucian family, and was sent by the clan to serve in Nurhachi.

This is the routine operation of Yan Shenggong's lineage. Once the world changes, they will invest separately.

No matter who is in charge of the world, they cannot be separated from the Confucian family.

Nurhachi was naturally extremely happy to have received the allegiance of the descendants of Yan Shenggong, and seeing that Kong Youde was talented, he sent him to Biebai's side as his military advisor.

Biebai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately asked for advice.

"Also ask Mr. Kong to teach me!"

Kong Youde shook his feather fan and said, "Your Excellency, do you know who this Yu Yanyi is?"

"Of course I know, this person is a fake Zhou Wuying Palace scholar, Minister of the Ministry of War, rumored to be a great talent!"

Kong Youde nodded, "That's right, this person is indeed a great talent, but he only has political talents, and has never led a soldier. He is just a Zhao Kuo who talks about soldiers on paper!"

"This person is now the highest military commander in Jinyang and even the Great Zhou. It is unwise to put himself in danger, but it is a godsend opportunity for us. If the general can capture or kill him alive, then Jinyang The Zhou army in the city will immediately collapse, this is the credit of the heavens, and it is not a problem to be crowned king!"

"Taking a step back, even if he is allowed to escape, it will greatly dampen Puppet Zhou's spirit."

Biebai nodded repeatedly listening to Kong Youde's words.

"But before leaving, the prince once told me not to attack the city without authorization. Wouldn't it be against the king's order to send troops to fight?!"

"Hahaha!" Kong Youde laughed loudly, "It's wrong, it's wrong! The prince only said that the generals can't attack the city without authorization, but he didn't say that the generals can't fight the enemy! Now the Zhou army is forming an array outside Jinyang's strong city. .It is a great time to defeat the enemy. The general is just fighting with the Zhou army. If he doesn't attack the city, it is not a violation of the prince's order!"

"Besides, on the battlefield, the fighter plane is fleeting, and the general will be outside, and the king's life will not be tolerated!"

Kong Youde's words provided a solid theoretical basis for Biebai, and at the same time opened the door to Biebai's ambition.

Will be outside, your life will be affected!

He wants to play a prince for himself!

"Go on!"

The [-]-strong army marched towards the west main gate!
But Biebai is also a veteran on the battlefield, and he would not attack rashly. He knew that Zhou Jun must be prepared to go out to fight in the field, so he dispatched multiple scouts to find out the situation, and stop the attack immediately if there is any fraud.

The scouts in charge of exploring the road set off, but the situation seemed to be inconsistent with the previous psychological expectations. Before reaching the west main gate, the scouts found a small group of Zhou army cavalry.

But this group of cavalry is not strict in military appearance and poorly equipped.

The scouts followed all the way and saw several small groups of cavalry, all of which were like this.

So they immediately returned the turtle worship.

Hearing about this military situation, Biebai came to his conclusion: Zhou's army was not yet fully prepared for a frontal battle, and he should take advantage of his unstable position to defeat the enemy and capture Yu Yanyi alive!

"Brothers, kill with me!"

The army set out, the cavalry galloped to be the first, smoke and dust rose up, and they rushed to the west main gate.

After a while, Biebai saw Zhou Jun's neat military appearance, which was different from his previous estimate that the position was not stable.

But Biebai was not in the mood to think too much. Judging from the formation, the Zhou army in front of the west main gate was only more than [-] people, and they mainly consisted of infantry and supplemented by cavalry.

Biebai still firmly holds the superiority in military strength.

Regardless of whether this was Zhou Jun's trick, or Zhou Jun had completed the formation of the lineup in the short period of time, Bie Bai couldn't care less about it.

Now he only has Yu Yanyi in his eyes, that is the living military exploits and the throne!
He even selectively forgot the rumors of "arranging but not fighting" among the tribes.

What about arrays? !Zhou Jun outside the Tumu Fort was like pigs and dogs under his knife, and these people were no exception.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Biebai dispatched his commander, Cromoli, to lead his army to break the Zhou army's formation.

Cromoli took the military order, smiled cruelly, and killed Zhou Jun!
Facing the majestic and galloping post-golden cavalry, the rout of the Longwu Army and Yulin Army on the west main gate once again rang the memory of the Tumu Fort.

Most of the soldiers turned pale, and what's more, the two battles, but their main force was defeated and slaughtered by these cavalry, and now the previous scene seems to be repeated.

In the face of the cavalry charging into the formation, few generals could lead the infantry to defeat them head-on. Although Yu Yanyi was familiar with military books, but if he wanted to defeat the cavalry with steps, it would not be useful to read two military books.

Fortunately, Yu Yanyi has a powerful assistant——Guo Jing.

Yue Wumu has been the No. 300 cavalry with steps for 1 years, and Guo Jing is the successor of Yue Wumu's art of war - "Yue Book".

"wind!"

Yu Yanyi drew out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly!
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

In the strict military formation, there was an immediate response.

Countless feathered arrows soared into the sky, pounced on the fine cavalry of Cromoli, who were charging.

All arrows fired!
