Eight hundred fifty-seven, bloody battle + siege

"Tartars!" Someone shouted in the Ye Feng. The Jin Kingdom Wanhu had no time to react and felt pain everywhere in his chest. He touched it with his hand, and then the firelight around him saw the bright red hands, and his vision became blurry...

On the hillside, a large number of figures were vaguely seen rushing up like a tide. At this time, most of the soldiers were already asleep, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers and servants, who were preparing supplies for tomorrow's war. They were not prepared for a while! Many people didn't even have the weapons to counterattack.

This raid was also unexpected to everyone. The scout clearly said that the Tatars had set up camp in the river valley dozens of miles away. Friends, the Mongols almost never fought with them in infantry battles. Everyone always rode horses and were all cavalry in wars.

Caught off guard, the Jin army was first discovered on the north side of the Mongols and was chased and killed by the Mongols who rushed up, and fled to the south side of the hillside.

Behind the hillside on the south side is a flat land, where the Jin army camp is camped on the east and west sides, with an aisle in the middle, and to the south is a place for eating, drinking, and urinating.

This area is the garrison of the front camp, which is stationed at the hillside army. Because there are few flat lands in the mountains, there are only about one thousand troops that can be arranged on the hillside for a long time. The front camp has five thousand households stationed. As long as the battle ahead starts, the troops will continue to alternate from the mountain pass, allowing the injured or tired troops in front to retreat and rest.

The front camp army will be changed every ten days.

The other side of the southern river is the Central Army camp, with fifteen thousand households stationed in the troops. Every ten days, five thousand households cross the river to change defenses.

There is a checkpoint at the mountain pass north of the front camp, with every 100 people on duty and a hundred households leading a team to alert the army camp, guarding the pass between the positions and the camps, and preventing local attacks on the camps.

This is the deployment method of the rear, front, and the most cutting-edge.

In places where the terrain is narrow and the troops cannot be deployed on a large scale? In a place that is conducive to supply? Send the frontier to station and then send troops to the frontier? At the same time, ensure that reinforcements can be continuously flowing? The wounded and tired soldiers can retreat to the rear and rest.

This deployment is enough to show that the ten thousand households in the Jin Kingdom are not casual, but a person who has fought a war?

After all, when he followed Taizu of the Jin Kingdom, he fought from west to east? The powerful generals who destroyed the Liao Kingdom were like clouds? It’s a pity that the world was unexpected and the world was not subject to human will. A wise man would make a mistake in his thousands of thoughts.

It was dark at night, and soldiers caught off guard by the Mongolians on the position ran to the mountain pass? The soldiers at the mountain pass were not sure of their harshness? They hurriedly stopped, but they could not stop the defeated soldiers who wanted to escape. They were instantly reopened. The fierce Mongolians behind also arrived and kept slashing and killing.

The narrow mountain pass was bleeding into a river for a while? Screams continued.

Then the Mongolian soldiers who rushed past the mountain pass rushed to the front camp at the foot of the southern mountain.

Suddenly? The positions were in chaos, and some people were killed in their sleep? Some people were awakened and had no time to wear armor or find weapons to die under the Mongol sword.

In an instant, the frontier positions at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain screamed repeatedly? The logistics camp on the south side of the road was alarmed? Then the main camp of the Jin army across the river was alarmed? The lights were lit one after another.

The Mongolian army rushed to the south with fierce attacks and killed. After about two quarters of a fierce battle, five thousand-house military camps on the front were defeated, the enemy retreated, and fled south in the valley flatland.

Mu Huali led the way, and led his soldiers to cross the road with the defeated Jin army troops. After fighting fiercely for a quarter of an hour, he killed the defeated baggage camp and rushed to the riverside.

The river water is just a small river, as a source of water for the army, and you can cross it at will. However, at this time, the camp on the other side had already reacted. The Jin army lit a large number of fires, and the river was immediately bright as daytime.

The Jin army on the opposite side kept firing arrows with strong bows in hand, and a large number of defeated troops and Mongolian soldiers in the front row were shot to death and screamed in succession.

Mu Huali quickly ordered everyone to retreat to the roadside baggage camp and use the help of vehicles to avoid the rain of arrows.

The Jin army then launched a counterattack, and thousands of people crossed the river, but were killed by the Mongols. The river that was not wide was bleeding for a while. Both armies lit fires on the shore and confronted each other through the winding river bank.

Mu Huali knew that he could not confront each other for a long time, because behind the mountain on the east side was the main road, and there was another ten thousand households stationed in the east side of the road, and there might be twenty thousand households under his command. If they noticed the movements on the mountain, or the Jin army sent people to ask for help and came over, they would all be done.

The 20 thousand households in the Jin Kingdom had similar troops, and they could still last for a long time or even defeat the enemy. If there were another twenty thousand households, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

(The Jin Dynasty’s thousand households are in charge of 500 people, and Mongolia is in name only 500 because of its companionship. However, the actual force of each thousand household is close to 1,000, but generally less than 1,000 people are about 800)

According to the agreement, he reserved two thousand households behind him, and would lead the cavalry south at around dawn, and take advantage of the enemy's attention to the front and attack the Jin people from the flank. If he could not withstand it, then he or the reinforcements from dawn would be ruined here!

The two sides confronted each other for nearly half an hour, from real swords and guns to verbal abuse, shooting arrows from time to time.

Mu Huali in the rear did not bother. He used the fire to find more than 300 heavy armored pieces of the Jin army's baggage, and then found hundreds of processed cowhides.

So he promised a lot of money to pick out three hundred warriors who were not afraid of death, put on iron armor that covered their bodies, and put on several layers of thick cowhide outside. Each of them carried a hammer and an axe, ready to charge at the other party with a desperate charge.

While the two armies were confronting and swearing, Mu Hualili quietly asked the 300 warriors to line up in the back of the crowd, and then suddenly launched a brave attack.

It was very difficult to move with something about a hundred kilograms on its body, especially when crossing the river, although the river water was shallow, it was also very difficult for them.

However, the thick iron armor and several layers of cowhide, and the poor light, the arrows emitted by the other party were of little effect. Three hundred people crossed, and only a few unlucky guys were on the lottery. When these people arrived on the other side, they were like tigers and sheep.

The commander of the Jin army quickly asked someone to raise his bones, but it was too late. A hole was opened in front of the position, and the long line fell into chaos. The soldiers who blocked the Mongolians on both wings were forced to move closer to the middle, and the Mongolian army in the rear took the opportunity to kill the river.

Another bloody battle in an instant.

Screaming and yelling in the valley, constantly echoing in the night.

After three quarters of a fierce battle, the Jin army retreated south, and Mu Huali organized people to catch up and kill again. Although most of the people were covered in blood and exhausted after fighting for a night, he knew that the enemy had to be pursued. The enemy was only retreating, and only one or two of them might be killed. If they were not driven out of the valley, they would definitely be rekindled and returned, and the battle would be in vain.

The army continued to go south, but the Jin army fled south suddenly stopped when they fled to the pass between the two mountains in the south, and then became in chaos.

From the south to the distance, the fire swelled into the sky.

Mu Huali knew that the Jin army reinforcements had arrived, and his breathing was stagnant, and his heart seemed to be tightly pinched, unable to breathe.

However, he quickly made up his mind and said viciously: "Kill me, take the opportunity to kill me! They are in chaos now, and we will be dead when we react!"

The thousand households around him also understood instantly and hurriedly urged the soldiers to kill them.

At this time, the two Jin troops collided in different directions and caused chaos. When the chaos passed, the fleeing Jin troops reacted and reinforcements arrived, and they were finished when they turned around and killed them!

Everyone rushed forward desperately, and it was already time for either you or I to die!

The war between swords and weapons, flesh and blood, and close forces is the most terrifying. The two sides fought to the death at the Yamaguchi, which was only one mile wide.

The fierce battle drove many people crazy, only knowing to keep slashing.

In positional warfare, the wounded still have the opportunity to retreat to the rear for cultivation and treatment. In such a narrow war, there is no room for retreat at all, either die or the other party dies.

The blood under the feet can slip people, and the front corpses quickly accumulate more than half a person's height. People on both sides step on people, and then fight against the long wall made of corpses.

The Mongolians knew that if they did not kill the gold-rejected people, they would die because they had few people and could not escape.

The Jin people knew that if they lost, they would be destroyed, and the capital was in the rear!

If this place is lost, the Mongols will no longer be able to move south along the river valley to Beijing!

Both sides refused to give in and moved forward desperately, and countless corpses were buried in the small valley.

After the fight came, both sides came back from the chaos and began to organize their men in an orderly manner, and then stepped forward one after another, and then took a rest. Because the valley was limited in width, a large number of people were blocked there in disorder, and the people behind would only waste their energy and energy.

The fight continued until the sky turned white, and the middle area of ​​the mountain pass less than a mile wide was filled with corpses, accumulated into a wall that was almost close to one person's height, and the land on both sides was dyed with blood and red.

Both sides were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, but the confrontation continued.

As the sky gradually became brighter, Mu Huali, north of the mountain pass, became more and more nervous. As soon as it was dawn, the Jin people in the south would know how many people they had, and there would be trouble at that time!

But at this moment, with the morning sunshine, you could vaguely see the smoke and dust in the south. Mu Huali hurriedly lay on the ground and heard the rumbling vibration of the earth, coming from the southeast...

He was instantly overjoyed and shouted, "Brothers, our cavalry is here!" He was the two thousand households behind him, and the Jin Dynasty's troops were restrained from coming here. They could pass through the river valley without any scruples and attack the Jin people from the rear!

Upon hearing the news, the morale of the exhausted soldiers rose sharply.

Mu Huali quickly sent people to climb up the hillsides on both sides to see the movements of the cavalry in the distance. When the cavalry surrounding them attacked the Jin army from the south, they immediately began to attack the Jin army from the north.

After a night of fierce battle, the battle started again.

This time, the Jin army could not withstand the attack between the north and the south. They were attacked from both sides and the Jin army was attacked from both sides. In less than half an hour, they retreated south one after another.

A large number of Jin soldiers threw away their armor and fled south on both sides of the valley. Some were chased and killed by Mongolian cavalry, while others fell down the valley and died. However, the defeated soldiers all over the mountains and fields could not be chased but the Mongols could not chase after them.

Mu Huali's main force suffered heavy casualties, and he fought for a night and was exhausted. There were only two new cavalrymen.

Mu Huali quickly ordered everyone to stop pursuing, occupy the river valleys on both sides, and sent people to rush north to repay the Khan, waiting for the army to come.

He knew very well that this trip was not to pursue the Jin army or to attack Shangjing, but to seize positions on both sides of the river valley and open up access for subsequent troops.

As long as he keeps here, the Jin Kingdom will be completely finished!

.........

At noon that day, some defeated troops had fled to the south of Shangjing, but suffered a great defeat and were afraid of being punished, so no one dared to report it.

Until the afternoon, more and more defeated soldiers fled south. The defenders at the city found problems and reported to the generals to defend the city. Then someone finally entered the city to report that they were attacked on both sides after fighting in the north for a night and were eventually defeated. The Mongols had already opened the path to the south.

At this time, the king of the capital was in the capital, and the king of Qi Wanyan Zongbi discussed at the Prime Minister's house whether to plead with Jingguo again, begging them to sell a batch of muskets to maintain the current situation.

The emperor and his ministers reached an agreement, believing that they should ask Jingguo for help again and were ready to send an envoy.

But at this moment, the news of the defeat in the north came, which immediately made the three of them stunned.

Pu Chayi reacted the fastest and quickly found someone to protect the emperor. At the same time, he asked the lord of the king to get the order. The general was still outside the capital, especially the troops defending in the west of the capital, mobilized back to the city.

There is no point in defending at this time, because the guarding on the west side, but the east side has been broken. If you don’t leave, you may be attacked by the Mongols on both sides.

At the same time, people outside the city were forced to move into the city, and all households, food, poultry and livestock were concentrated in the city, and the walls were strengthened and cleared.

He also ordered the generals of the army to go out and gather the defeated soldiers, and the soldiers pardoned their sins.

Until the evening, only twenty of the more than thirty generals released came back, and the others fled themselves. They brought back more than 2,700 defeated soldiers.

With the troops withdrawn outside the city, the troops originally found in the city gathered a force of about 13,000 people to surround Shangjing.

The most important thing is that envoys were sent to the south under the escort of soldiers, and to Yang Hongzhao, the governor of the Liaoxi, Jingguo near Huizhou, to seek help from the Jingguo court.

Liu Xu repeatedly reminded him to be respectful and to explain to Jingguo that if they die, the Mongols' soldiers will soon reach the north of Huizhou and border with Jingguo. To save them, the Jin Kingdom can resist the soldiers of the northern Tatars for Jingguo for generations.

.........

On that day, the entire Shangjing City was in panic, and the entire Shangjing City was busy.

The king Wanyan Li dared not come out in the palace, so Pu Chayi kept gathering the surrounding troops as much as possible to build city defense.

Liu Xu kept sending envoys to the south to appease the ministers in the court. Until the night, the city of Shangjing seemed to be quiet again, which was panicked and busy for a day.

But everyone knows that this is just the tranquility before the storm. The northern road was opened and the Mongolian army would soon arrive at the city. It was just a matter of time and night, or when the Mongolians were willing to come.

The next day, the army still did not come. Puchayi carefully sent people out to burn all the houses outside the capital, leaving no rest for the Mongolian army, and at the same time, they did not leave wood for them to facilitate the construction of siege equipment. They also urgently sent people to repair the city walls and mobilized the young people in the city to set a place on the Central Street to train them, and sent them the treasury and crossbows and guns stored in the treasury.

On the third day, more than a dozen cavalry swayed to the capital under the martial law of the whole city, and were then dispersed by the guards on the top of the city with bows and crossbows.

Most of them were the Mongol scouts.

In the morning, a large group of cavalry came from the north, with about a hundred people, and they spent a few laps under the city before leaving.

By noon, a large number of cavalry crossed the river valley east of Shangjing City, gathered and scolded under Shangjing City, densely packed, about a thousand people.

The defenders at the top of the city entered the battle position nervously and began to prepare to defend the city.

However, the subsequent troops were still coming. Until the afternoon, more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry had gathered in the south of Shangjing City, and set up fences to start camping.

And this is just a forward, and the follow-up troops are still coming.

That night, the defenders of Shangjing took turns to serve, and the canyon in the east were constantly lit. When dawn, countless Mongolian troops were already densely packed in the south of the city.
