Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 336 Battle Between Two Armies
The summer was scorching hot and the sun was shining brightly. Liu Qi ordered a pair of iron armor to be hung in the west city. When the iron armor became hot, the [-] warriors in heavy armor jumped out from the low wall and faced the Jin Dynasty with the continuous sound of drums. The army charged.

As for the Jin army, the infantry composed of Han people was building weapons for siege, while the Jurchen's heavy armored cavalry was under the sun and could not tolerate the heat. The hot heavy armor took off the helmet on his head to fan the wind.When the Song army came to kill, the Jin army was so scattered that they had no power to fight back and fled one after another.The Song army happened to burn these siege equipment.

Xia Rare's people fled, and immediately commanded the cavalry to attack. At this time, the two sides were already fighting hand-to-hand, and the golden army's cavalry advantage could not be brought into play. After seven or eight rounds of fighting, Xia Rare's situation was not good, so he had to withdraw the army.Liu Qi also ordered the guards.

The two sides took turns to stalemate like this for two days, Liu Qi sent troops to rob the camp every night, so that the Jin soldiers could not rest, and he was especially afraid of the scorching heat in summer, so he had to send someone to Jin Wushu for help.

At this time, Jin Wushu led his army directly to the inner city of Kaifeng. He was greeted by Liu Yu, and he lived in the Longde Palace of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, but he did not see Liu Yu and his son, and only planned with Jurchen generals here.

Due to the scorching heat, the Jurchen was born in an extremely cold place and was not heat-resistant. Jin Wushu sat on the dragon chair in the past, only wearing a pair of shorts, still sweating profusely.Liu Yu sent people to offer cold sour plum soup and tea, and ordered more than a dozen court ladies to serve him and play fans for him in turn.

As soon as Jin Wushu received Xiahan's call for help, he immediately went outside the house, facing the sun outside, and shouted: "Hurry up and get your battle robe and armor!"

In just a moment, his boot armor was in order, he got on his horse and led the army to set off.In the past few days, there has been continuous torrential rain in Yingshui, flooding the pontoon bridge, and the Jin army delayed for several days to cross the river. Once they arrived in Shunchang, they surrounded the city with water.

Jin Wushu rode on the horse, and ordered a cavalryman who was good at archery to shoot a silk book on the top of the city, and shouted at the same time: "I have ordered the fourth prince Jun, the Grand Marshal of the Jin Kingdom, to teach Liu Taiwei to worship quickly. To prevent the city from being destroyed Day, jade and stone will be burned."

Liu Qi personally received the silk book and immediately burned it with fire: "These books that disturb the morale of the army should be incinerated immediately." Standing on the top of the wall, he also shouted loudly: "Fourth prince, I am Liu Qi from the Yue family army. You have been defeated many times." Under the Yue Family Army, how can a defeated general speak bravely?"

Jin Wushu was furious and shouted: "It's useless to keep such a city wall. My own big gold warriors will rush into the government office to hold a feast in the future to celebrate the victory. Listen carefully, everyone, the beauties, gold and jade that were captured are all kept for themselves." .Men above the age of three, all will be killed!"

With this order, the siege battle will begin.

The first wave of the Jin army's offensive was fruitless, so they set up camp on the spot.Han Chang reminded Jin Wushu that the Song army was good at night battles to rob the camp, and Jin Wushu said that if Liu Qi dared to rob the camp, he would teach him not to leave a piece of armor behind.

So Jin Wushu ordered the whole army not to remove their armor at night, and sent a team of troops to guard every night.He himself was also in the tent, and ordered the soldiers to light the torches and treat them solemnly.Unexpectedly, Liu Qi did not rob the camp on a large scale at all, and only sent 200 people every night to beat gongs and drums in the southeast, northwest, and bluff.Jin Jun was so violently harassed that he couldn't sleep for two consecutive nights and was very tired.

On the third day, Jin Wushu saw that there could be no further delay, and immediately ordered to attack the city.On this day, it was the sun again, and the Jurchen soldiers were sweating profusely from the heat, and the war horses ate the poisonous soybeans that the Song army had dropped, and many of them fell down after being poisoned.This fight lasted for more than an hour, causing casualties to each other.After a while, a gust of wind blew up. It turned out to be the beginning of a sandstorm in the north.

Jin Wushu was wearing a battle armor, and immediately supervised the battle at Gaogang. He could not help feeling sad when he saw the dead Jurchen corpses in black clothes and black armor and scattered big golden and black flags everywhere.Jin Jun was afraid of the heat, so he couldn't fight in the summer, but the domestic situation forced him to make such a choice, and he even lamented: "I have worked so hard, if I can't get anything in exchange for this big defeat, it is really a waste of sacrifice. "

In the evening, there was heavy rain again, and he received news that Yue Pengju sent another army to attack the Dajin troops in the original pavilion, and the general who supported the army was killed.Jin Bing's voice was drowned out by the storm, Jin Wushu no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "Quickly retreat."

Seeing that the Jin army was retreating, Liu Qi personally led the cavalry out of the city to pursue them.After Jin Wushu personally broke it, Liu Qi saw that the one in the middle was drawing a halberd with Fang Tian, ​​he was the fourth prince, and he stopped chasing the other Jin soldiers, and the three sides attacked Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu was surrounded, but he was not afraid. He took the lead and waved Fang Tian's painted halberd. The Song army couldn't resist, and was killed by him.At this time, Xiahan held his famous weapon, an iron cone gun more than ten feet long, and led hundreds of cavalry into the formation.Jin Wushu received strong support, broke out from the encirclement, and fled northward.

Jin Jun escaped from Xingshui and came to Huaining Mansion.Jin Wushu summoned all the generals, and did not punish them for this big defeat. He only rewarded Xia Han who saved his life, and also rewarded Han Chang and others. Autumn is not far away. My sons are not good at summer warfare, one defeat is nothing to fear, and we have a chance to command our troops to take revenge." Then, assign people to garrison.

When Han Chang saw the defeat, he was mentally prepared to be punished. Seeing him like this, he was all relieved. He also vaguely guessed some intentions of the fourth prince, so he obeyed the order.

Just after he was stationed, Yue Pengju had divided his troops into two groups, intending to take advantage of the victory to regain Tokyo and Lianghe.Wang Gui's first army was the left forward and went north to Ruzhou; Yue Pengju and Zhang Xian led the army to go north to Caizhou.Before leaving, Yue Pengjun wrote an official letter in his own hand, asking his staff Yu Peng and Sun Ge to meet Zhang Jun and Liu Guang respectively, and strive to send troops together to wipe out the 14 Jin soldiers who invaded.He specifically explained: "Your mission this time is of great importance. You must be respectful to the two ministers and try to get them to send troops to attack Tianfu and join our army in Tokyo. If they don't agree, you must also say goodbye and put the overall situation first. .”

Everyone took the order, hurried on their horses, and set off separately.

Zhang Xian went first, the northwest county.The next day, I received a report that a Jinbing heavy armored cavalry, about 1000 men, set off from Yancheng and went down the Shahe River.Zhang Xian made a decisive decision, led his troops out of the city, and ambushed on the north-south main road.

This Jin army was led by Han Chang.This time he went south with Jin Wushu, and fought several battles without a single victory. Wherever he went, he saw that the Song army was well-groomed and bravely took the lead;The two armies turned upside down.He was already afraid of Yue Peng's prestige, and he had lingering fears in the battle at sea. Hearing that this time it was Yue Pengju and Zhang Xian who were going to Caizhou, he felt timid, and instead of sending all the main force, he temporarily sent three centurions to lead the army , Go deep into the boundary of Caizhou to conduct investigations.

This team braved the scorching sun to march forward, but before they reached the boundary of Caizhou, their armor was hot and their uniforms were drenched. At this time, there was a forest in front of them and a small river ditch. Everyone was very happy and rushed to to drink water.

At this moment, a neat Yue Family Army appeared on the opposite side of the small river. The bright red flag was shining in gold in the sun, and on it were several huge five characters of "Loyal and Brave Yue Family Army".The Jin army was suddenly attacked. At this time, the masses were still lying in the river drinking water, and it was too late to run away, and most of them were wiped out.

Song Jun took advantage of the victory and pursued, just in time to meet Han Chang and others.At this time, Han Chang had already been timid to fight, and immediately ordered to retreat.After a scuffle, Han Chang went straight to Huaining Mansion, which also meant to lure the enemy to go deeper.

Zhang Xian and others led the army to pursue, and they were met with Jin Wushu's army.

Han Chang was overjoyed, and returned to his horse to fight Zhang Xian himself.He and Zhang Xian knew each other, and they could be said to be close friends.Zhang Xian looked at the golden army surrounded by black clothes and black armor, Han Chang smiled triumphantly and said, "Zhang Xian, if you don't worship, you will die."

Zhang Xian didn't answer, and his group of more than 800 people was gradually besieged, and they raised their guns to fight Han Chang.Han Chang knew that this was the first strong general of the Yue Family Army, and that Zhang Xian had a personal relationship with Yue Pengju, so he naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and was determined to kill Zhang Xian, so the more he fought, the more fierce he fought.

The martial arts of the two are equal, and they fought for more than a dozen rounds, and there was no difference in the outcome.At this time, one person in the Golden Wushu camp became very impatient, and it was Xia Han.

Xia Han yelled: "Han Chang, look at your own", raised his iron awl gun and stabbed Zhang Xian in the heart.Zhang Xian was attacked on both sides and couldn't hold back, he got short and bent down from the horse to the belly of the horse. Song Jun thought the general had fallen to the ground, and shouted in shock, but saw Zhang Xian turned over and jumped up, and he raised his gun to fight Xia Han.

Such exquisite riding skills not only greatly boosted the momentum of Yue's army, even Jin Wushu, who was watching the battle, couldn't help secretly shouting hello.Like Han Chang, he also wanted to capture Zhang Xian in order to hit the momentum of Yue's army.

At this time, the two armies had fallen into a melee. Seeing that his side had the upper hand in the battle, Jin Wushu calmly stood on a high ground to oversee the battle. He saw that although Han Chang and Xia Han forced Zhang Xianlian into a dangerous situation and injured several places, they were not injured. fatal.He took the bow and arrow and took aim.Because of his disabled right hand, he turned left and right, and exchanged positions. Since he practiced arrows with both hands since he was a child, although it was hard work, he still had the miraculous effect of hitting a hundred shots.

He aimed at Zhang Xian with his bow, and shot an arrow at Zhang Xian with a "swish", but Zhang Xian couldn't dodge, the mount fell to the ground with a scream, and was about to fall to the ground, Xiahan's iron cone spear pierced his chest in time... …

At this time, Jin Wushu raised his bow and arrow again. After all, he was injured and his hand was inconvenient, so he couldn't shoot continuously. He hesitated a little between switching. In this way, Zhang Xian had a moment to breathe, but it was still useless, because Xiahan's iron cone spear , had completely reached his chest, Zhang Xian's eyes went dark, and there was a dull oppression in his chest, which was the breath of death, but he could hear the whistling wind in his ears, and then Xiahan's miserable cry. A sharp arrow shot out, piercing through Xia Han's throat with a force of thunder. With an expression of disbelief, Xia Han fell to the ground and died with his eyes wide open.

Zhang Xian was overjoyed and turned his head, only to see Yue Pengju personally leading the army, seeing that he was in danger, he immediately shot the arrow and saved his life.A large number of Yue family troops joined, and the two armies launched the largest battle.

Jin Wushu saw it clearly on the side, and his heart was broken. Xia Han is the son-in-law of his second brother Zongwang who is close to him, and also his most important subordinate in the past two years. Xia Han saved his life a few days ago. Thinking that Yue Peng raised his hand and died today.He hated Yue Peng deeply, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and commanded him to enter the battle.
