Chapter 761 Chapter [-] Iron Fire ([-])

Declining grass covers the ground, and the sky is cloudy in autumn.

At the end of August in the second year of Jianshuo, the first round of conflict between the Black Banner Army and the West Jurchen Army broke out on the night of August 23 in the wilderness northeast of Yanzhou City.

At that time, considering the existence of Haidongqing in the Jurchen army and the blatant surveillance of Xiao Canghe, the sneak attack on the Jurchen army was difficult to achieve.However, out of consideration of probability, before the head-on engagement began, the middle and upper ranks of the Black Flag Army still prepared a sneak attack. The plan was to make one of the hot air balloons fly to the Jurchen barracks before the Jurchen realized the full effect of the hot air balloons. In the sky, a bomb was dropped on Wanyan Lou's tent.

The bomb-dropping time was chosen at night. If it was lucky enough to kill Wanyan Loushi, the Black Banner Army would be able to relieve the danger to the northwest without any effort.Even if the explosion happened near the tent, the Jurchen military camp would be in a panic if it was suddenly attacked, and then with Han Jing's [-] troops attacking the camp, there was a high possibility that the Jurchen army would collapse.

At this time, the hot air balloon - no matter when the hot air balloon is - is a huge problem to control the direction, but during the lift-off during this period, the hot air balloon operator in the Xiaocang River has also initially grasped the trick.The flight of the hot air balloon is still controllable in the general direction, because the flow of the wind is not uniform at every altitude in the air. In this way, the flight of the hot air balloon can be determined to a certain extent.However, due to the low accuracy, the location where the hot air balloon took off was still not too far from the Jurchen camp.

For this reason, the hot air balloon was finally discovered by the Jurchen scouts before it took off. Perhaps it was also because God did not want the Black Flag Army to win too easily here.After that, Chen Xing, the leader of the special regiment of the Black Flag Army, decisively chose to give up the mission and withdrew at a high speed. Naturally, Han Jing could only give up the plan to attack the Jurchen at night.

However, after that, the Jurchen general Saharan Kammu led more than a thousand cavalry to follow, and there was friction with Han Jing's team that night.This was originally a tentative friction that escalated rapidly afterwards, perhaps something that neither side had expected.

This Jurchen general, Saharin, was originally under the command of Wanyan Loushi, and he led all the elites in this western expedition.They went south all the way, and they were brave and fearless on the battlefield, and the Han army in front of them often collapsed after one or two rushing kills.

The two sides met face to face, lined up to attack, mounted and shot. At first, there were some rules, but after all, it was night.After two rounds of entanglement, Saharin, thinking about Wanyan Loushi's order to want the flying object, began to tentatively interspersed with the other side, and the first round of conflict broke out.

The cavalry on Han Jing's side are not so fuel-efficient.This is the most desperate group of people in Luliang Mountain. When they have nothing to eat, they hang their heads on the waistband of their trousers, and fighting people is commonplace.Many of them also participated in the battle against the resentful army in Xiacun. When Xiaocanghe's Black Banner Army defeated the 15 Xixia army, these arrogant men had longed for a battle.

The most terrible thing is that this year, Ning Yi's publicity of Dong Zhiyuan's battle in Qingmu Village and Xiaocanghe. At that time, when Yu Zangma led the light cavalry to threaten the attacking team, Zhou Huan, the chief of staff of the special regiment, led Hundreds of people charged with unparalleled violence.In the end, hundreds of cavalrymen crushed the morale of thousands of cavalry soldiers.What Xiao Canghe can do, what Qing Muzhai can't do!
When both sides took a sigh of relief, and it was night again, after the first round of charges and fights "accidentally" broke out, the whole night suddenly boiled.The hysterical shouts suddenly burst into the night sky, and when the young men in front were already mixed together, the leaders on both sides dared not call to withdraw, and could only try to restrain their subordinates. To see clearly.In a moment, the sounds of fighting, shouting, ramming and tumbling swept under the night sky!
Judging by the strength and calculations at hand on both sides, these two armies are only the first to meet each other, and they may not be able to figure out the purpose of the forward team.In this moment of contact, it is rare to see each other's morale elevated to the extreme, and then become entangled and killed.But when they reacted, both of them were already in a difficult situation.

There were about a thousand soldiers in total who participated in the tragic melee in this night, and the rest were never idle, shooting arrows and entanglement with each other.A flurry of rockets, arrows that never ignited.The Jurchen side first released fireworks to retreat, and then Han Jing's side also ordered to retreat, but it was too late.

The chaotic fighting in the dark has already spread, and the large-scale chaos has gradually turned into small groups, small-scale raids, and firefights.This night, the teams that had been entangled the longest were probably ten miles away.The soldiers from Luliang Mountain faced the hunters in Changbai Mountain. Even if the two sides became unorganized small groups, they never lost their combat effectiveness in the dark mountains.For half the night, the bloody battle between the mountains and the mountains hardly stopped on their way to escape, find their companions and the brigade.

When it was near midnight, the support troops sent by Wanyan Loushi arrived, Han Jing led his men Shi Shiran to retreat, and he did not choose to chase after convenience.After Han Jing's men retreated for a few miles, they stopped and set up camp, not planning to leave.

This night, the lively scene near Yanzhou City continued for most of the night.As for Yan Zhenguo, who was still leading an army of [-] troops in the besieged city at this time, it was still a big bewilderment about what happened.It wasn't until the next day that they probably figured out that Saharin had a conflict with an unknown army last night, and the origin of this army was vaguely pointing to the mountains in the northeast.

Yan Zhenguo called his aides Long Zhiyong, Mu Wenchang and others to hold a meeting in the camp.Although he was an envoy in Qinfeng Road, most of the Qinfeng Road area was originally the site of the Western Army, which made him a high position in power, but his actual status was not prosperous.When the Jurchen came to kill him, he was clumsy and did not run away. He was eventually captured, so he simply surrendered to the Jurchen and was driven to attack Yanzhou City.However, after being here for such a long time, he is still clear about the various forces around him.

"At this time, the Zhe family has already surrendered in the northwest. If it wasn't for a false surrender, the one who came out now would be the demon king in Luliang Mountain. This army is fierce, and I am afraid that it will compete with the Jurchen. If it comes, I will have to wait. Take precautions early."

At this time, the city was still under siege, and Yan Zhenguo had a scholarly temperament. Thinking of this, he felt a little bit of a headache.The staff member Long Zhiyong comforted him: "Don't worry, the proprietor, although the Black Banner Army is brave, but the actions of killing the monarch show that its pattern is limited. The Jurchen swept the world and swallowed the mountains and rivers. If the black flag army really comes, the students think that it will be difficult to defeat the general trend of the golden army. The proprietor just waits and sees the changes."

Namu Wenchang said: "Our army of 2 is more than enough to attack the city. Since the owner is worried, one of the first things is to break the city as soon as possible. In this way, even if the Black Banner Army comes, Yanzhou City will not be able to rescue it. It has no western army." It is useless to fight again. Second, we have [-] people lined up in the rear, just to put up a defense. The black flag army is indeed the devil of the world, but he is not many in number, and there is a commander in chief Lou Shi by his side. If he wants to deal with us and solve the danger in Yanzhou, he only needs to entangle him a little bit, how can the commander-in-chief Lou Shi fail to grasp the opportunity..."

After Mu Wenchang finished speaking, Yan Zhenguo laughed, nodded his head, and then sent his generals to separate out 2 troops to set up another camp behind the camp to defend against the enemy from the east.

It was the afternoon of August 24th, and the offensive and defensive battle in Yanzhou was still fiercely fought, and an army of more than [-] people was divided behind the attacking party.At the head of the city of Yanzhou, feeling the increasingly violent siege, the blood-soaked Zhong Lie faintly sensed something happened, and the morale of the city was also boosted.

And in the evening, among the foothills to the east, an army has quickly jumped out of the mountains.This army moved quickly, with black flags fluttering in the autumn wind. The five regiments of the Huaxia Army, with more than 3000 people stretching for several miles, stopped to rest for a while when they reached the outside of the mountain.

The cooks handed out steamed buns and broth.

Zhuo Yongqing was a recruit in the Black Banner Army, originally from Yanzhou. At this time, he was sitting on the edge of the field, eating steamed buns and soup, and most of the companions in the row beside him had the same attitude.The night was gradually approaching, but looking around, in the barren world, there were silhouettes of Black Flag soldiers on the side of the road, row after row as if they were not in the wild at all, so he suppressed a little nervousness.

The Black Banner Army had a lot of training on weekdays, and for Zhuo Yongqing and the others, they were just a little tired after a day's march, and more of it was the nervousness of going to the battlefield.This kind of tension also exists in veterans, but it is rarely seen. Zhuo Yongqing's squad leader is Mao Yishan. What does 10 people look like?"

Mao Yishan buried his head in eating and glanced at him: "The food is good, don't talk." Then he buried his head in eating the meat in the soup.

Everyone swept the bottom of the bowl with steamed buns. After a short rest, the army set off again and set up camp after walking for about five miles. On the way, Mao Yishan said to Zhuo Yongqing: "It's about the same as 1 people." Among them, there are continuous torches, soldiers and companions walking in the same way, this kind of unity actually made Zhuo Yongqing's nervousness disappear.

Except for the necessary rest, the Black Banner Army hardly stopped. On the second day, it was a 25-mile journey. In the afternoon, Zhuo Yongqing could already vaguely see the outline of Yanzhou City. On the top of the city of Yanzhou, red and black mixed signs can be seen faintly, which shows the tragic siege battle.

Zhuo Yongqing's army rested for a while, and in front, an army of unknown number of people slowly pushed over.Zhuo Yongqing was called up, and the army began to form. He stood in the third row, holding a shield and holding a knife. On both sides of his body, in front and behind, were the figures of his companions, just like every time they trained, they were waiting in formation.

Next to him, the squad leader Mao Yishan was quietly exhaling a long breath, and Zhuo Yongqing followed suit.In the front, someone shouted: "Do you still remember what you said when you set off!? When you meet an enemy, there are only two words—"

Zhuo Yongqing paused for a while, then, bloodshots sprang up in his eyes, and he shouted forcefully. At this moment, the entire army was shouting: "Ferocious! Cruel——" The field was shocked. buzzing.

He didn't know how many people were around him.But the autumn wind picked up, and huge balloons flew over their heads.

On Yanzhou City, Zhong Lie put down the inferior telescope in his hand, and frowned slightly in confusion: "They..."

On August 25, the Black Banner Army was divided into two groups. One group of 8000 people joined Han Jing in the northeast of Yanzhou City. After the 2000 people joined, they slowly pushed towards the Jurchens' barracks.At the same time, more than five thousand people from the second and third regiments confronted the [-] siege army led by Yan Zhenguo a little to the south.

Wanyan Loushi ordered Yan Zhenguo's troops to attack the Black Flag Army, but Yan Zhenguo did not dare to disobey, and ordered more than [-] people to advance towards this side.However, before the battle, he was still a little hesitant: "Should I send an envoy and surrender first?"

The staff thought about it and responded: "The words of the adults are very good, and it is in line with the way of first rituals and then soldiers."

In the evening, they sent envoys to the side of more than 5000 people. Only halfway there, they saw three huge balloons flying over, and [-] people pushed forward in formation.To the north, the main forces of the two armies are confronting each other, and any movement will affect the whole body. However, the Black Banner Army who rushed all the way did not hesitate at all. Even facing the Jurchen God of War, they did not give any face.

One of the hot air balloons dropped dynamite at the position of the handsome flag of more than [-] people.Zhuo Yongqing rushed forward with his companions, and started to fight according to everyone's appearance.As the vast night began to devour the earth, blood and fire bloomed on a large scale...
