Chapter 960 Chapter [-] Earthquake Thunder ([-])

In the first year of Wu Zhenxing, No. 13 years after Ning Yi killed the king, in the first month, the southwest became a mess.

It was only in the first and middle days, with Jianmen Pass as the boundary, 20 days of non-stop fighting in the southwest; [-] battles were fought in seven days in the northeast.

At the end of January and the beginning of February, the information from the southwest was collected and passed to Lin'an. At this time, the situation in the capital was becoming tense due to the fall of Fuzhou. Of course, the most tense belonged to Zuo Xiang Tieyan's lineage, and his cousin died. , After losing Fuzhou, his status in the court plummeted - such as Wu Qimei, Gan Fenglin, Li Shan, etc., plus many officers in the court and the army, mostly for Xi Yin and Qin Shaoqian This fight, tut tut sigh.

Qin Shaoqian led more than [-] people to break through more than ten lines of defense within seven days, and then began to retreat.In front of him, Xi Yin was calm and calm. Although he organized [-] troops to pounce on them one after another and was scattered, his own foundation was unscathed.

"...The so-called Seventh Army of China led by Qin Shaoqian was nailed to the rear of the Jurchen. It originally served as a deterrent. With 2 people present, Zonghan's army on the front line must consider how to turn back in the future. , so that it cannot attack with all its strength, it has to leave some retreat. The Seventh Army of the Black Banner stands still, and there is a possibility of change. Once it moves, there are only 2 people. .”

"...It's a pity that although the black flag on the southwest front is commanded by Ning Yi, who is even more famous, it is actually hard to live up to its reputation. It has exhausted its strength after winning a battle at the end of the year, and suffered a big defeat on the fourth day of the first month. Qin Shaoqian must have I also have some headaches and have to attack forward. He has 2 men, and he is really elite. He is invincible and no less than Jurchen. When the guards reach the post, 70 Jurchen can break [-]. What a pity, Qin Shaoqian The person who preceded him was not Yelu Yanxi back then, but Xi Yin who defeated the Yelu family..."

"...With the same number of Han troops, set up more than ten lines of defense in the rear, and went up one after another. Qin Shaoqian couldn't make the momentum of rolling down the bead curtain, but he himself went all out, and he was weak. He broke seventeen at a time. For the line of defense, Xi Yin gathers the Han army at hand again, maybe he can form seventeen or twenty-seven lines of defense. So what if he is defeated in one blow? I am afraid that when he walks in front of Xi Yin, he will not have the strength to hold a knife. there is none left……"

For a period of time, Lin'an has been talking about this battle. From Wu Qimei down to the scholars in the teahouse, almost everyone can say something about this battle.

"...Xi Yin's use of troops is really old-fashioned, but Qin Shaoqian can really afford it. He simply broke the seventeen defense lines, and then pulled out the camp and walked back to continue to deter him. His seventh army was not in Xi Yin. The hungry wolf showed timidity in front of him, but the army's combat power and threats actually fell to the ground. Speaking of which, he was worthy of being the son of the Qin family. In my opinion, in the Huaxia army, Ning Yi's signature is the signature, and the real strength is the Qin clan's formidable strength..."

"...It's just this trial that failed to decide the outcome after all. Qin Shaoqian walked in a dashing manner and was able to retreat. But from a strategic point of view, he hoped to attack Jurchen's back path to solve the danger on the front line, but his intention was still in vain. In seventeen battles in seven days, even though they were victorious, they would not be damaged? Therefore, in this battle, the real winner was Wanyan Xiyin, who was waiting for work. We can rely entirely on the so-called Fifth Army in the southwest, but what a shame, the Fifth Army under the command of Ning Yi is now in retreat..."

Thousands of miles apart, sitting in the mountains and watching tigers fight can really give people the comfort of sitting in a warm room on a snowy day and watching people shivering on the road.Wu Qimei and others talked about the subtlety of the way of using soldiers, or mixed with sighs, or supplemented with sighs, more or less, they have the feeling of pointing the country and taking heaven and earth as a chessboard.

Of course, the reason why the fight between Qin Shaoqian and Xi Yin was analyzed in such detail is that the entire southwest battle situation that has passed through Jianmen Pass is still in a fog.However, after the Jurchen broke through Huangming County, the troops began to press in front of Zizhou, and Ning Yi's line of defense retreated. This is always an unquestionable general trend.

Three thousand miles away, the people in Lin'an still couldn't know what kind of quagmire the Jin army in the southwest had fallen into.

**************
Just after the Spring Festival, Jurchen's breakthrough in Huangming County did bring a huge loss to the Huaxia Army.

If we count the attrition of the second division of the Huaxia Army who have been defending Huang Ming for more than two months, the number has exceeded more than [-], but it was only a fiasco and competition in the third and fourth grades, and the number of sacrifices and missing persons on the battlefield reached two. More than [-] people.

This terrifying number of downsizing mostly stems from the unwilling competition of the Second Division against Huangming County.The sudden loss of Huangming County, for the Huaxia Army, lost not only a city wall, but also a large number of iron cannons and defense equipment that could not be evacuated in time. This is one of the most important strategic resources at the moment. Even for a possible counter-offensive, the explosives and other items that the Huaxia Army transported to Huangming County were once overweight.

The idea of ​​launching a counterattack in Huangming County or Yushuixi has been brewing in the Huaxia Army's staff.It was originally expected to launch an offensive around December 28, but on the [-]th, Yushuixi had a battle result, and Huangming County retreated quickly, and the idea of ​​launching a counterattack in Huangming County was shelved for a while.

If it really intends to launch a counterattack, the second division must cooperate with other troops, but after the victory of the fourth and fifth divisions in Yuyuxi, the reduction of personnel is not enough, and they need to guard the wounded. Barely.

At night on the third day of the middle school, the Jurchen attacked like a furious wave and broke through the city head, and a fight began on the city wall.A large section of the city wall controlled by the Huaxia Army fired a hundred artillery pieces, and the artillery team put all the gunpowder hoarding into an overwhelming attack, and even several times the overheating of the gun barrels affected their own people.But this situation still failed to contain the battlefield situation that had become frantic in the dark night.

For a whole night, the Huaxia Army fought and retreated in the small county town. The engineering team dragged some of the iron cannons to the rear of the county town. The various teams on the battlefield, led by the cadre group, charged countless times, and the Jurchen was pulling away. Under the strict order of Su, the victory at the city head was defended, but in the county seat, the soldiers who rushed in wave after wave were beaten almost to the core under the impact of the Huaxia army.

The corpses were like mountains and the blood flowed into rivers. Even some of the Khitan, Xi, and Liaodong troops who were the main force of the Jin army were beaten and defeated like waves in the city.

However, the advantage of the number of people eventually overwhelmed the courage of the Huaxia Army commanders and fighters. Some Huaxia Army troops were divided and surrounded by their own positions. They fought until late at night or even until dawn, but after all, they gradually drowned in the blood of the battlefield. On the position, the soldiers detonated explosive shells and gunpowder, and by the way set the iron cannons on fire.

In the early morning of the second day, the fighting on the battlefield continued. Most of the Huaxia troops who had gathered at the end of Huangming County to build a position were wounded soldiers. Under the attack of the enemy, they could not retreat with their luggage. , Han Jing's packhorse arrived at the battlefield, and then began to evacuate the wounded and artillery, and left in an orderly manner along the mountain road.

Pulling out the speed is not ready to end the victory this time. By this time, the Huaxia Army has lost its urban defense advantage in Huangming County.He gathered the elites in his hands, went into battle repeatedly, and attacked Han Jing non-stop.Han Jing set up a battle and defended from the afternoon of the fourth day to the daytime of the fifth day, repulsing the attack of the Jurchen several times, and then saw that the Jurchen seemed to weaken the attack, and then began to evacuate.

His retreat had just begun, and Jurchen's troops were attacking again. The first division's team fought and retreated between the mountain roads. After about three miles away from Huangming County, the mountain gradually opened up.The Jurchen team came over from the rear, and was then intercepted by Qu Zhengyan's troops who had rushed out of the mountain road. The first division and the fourth division cooperated on this, and wrapped the more than [-] Xiren elites who were chasing in front of them. Dumplings, More than [-] people were forced off the cliff by the fierce front and back attack, and more than [-] people disarmed and surrendered.The troops in the rear finally retreated after unsuccessful rescue.

Pulling off the speed on the fifth day of the pursuit of the day just stopped a little.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, with the cooperation of the scout team led by Yu Yu, the scout team pulled out the speed and organized the troops to chase forward again, and then the huge trouble appeared.

Extending from Jiange to Zizhou, Huangming County and Yuyu Stream are two key blocking points.After passing these two positions, the mountain leading to Zizhou is a little gentler, and there are more choices of roads.But it does not mean that it has been a smooth ride since then.

In fact, after passing through Huangming County for a few miles, although the mountain seems to be a little gentle, the next road is unfamiliar to Jurchen.

Yu Yu's scout troop groped along the mountains, and soon encountered landmines—a minefield that no one had touched since the war, and just as some of the seasoned scouts started a new round of demining work , the scouts of the Huaxia Army also kept killing them.

Relying on the thunder formation in the forest, the exchange ratio of the scout troops was further increased, but only a little contact. Yu Yu had to choose a conservative combat attitude. He could only gather a large number of scouts and gradually explore along the main road.

There were no landmines on the main road, so we gathered several troops from the speed and cooperated with the scout team to advance.However, such a lineup could not stop Qu Zhengyan from leading the [-]th Division to counterattack madly. The special operations team of the Huaxia Army walked through the forest like ghosts, and from time to time, the Jurchen scouts or the Jurchen main forces on the road side shot arrows. Or a black gun.

The actions of these special operations forces at this time were extremely arrogant. When the Jurchen scouts found roadside mines trying to clear or detonate, they quickly approached to attack.Sometimes they will be discovered by Haidongqing, and sometimes they will be counterattacked, but it doesn't matter. When they are counterattacked, they will flee deeper into the mountains and forests. More landmines that have not been eliminated are buried on the escape route. When the Jurchen troops leave the team, the Huaxia Army's combat team will quickly jump up and eat the opponent.

Since the sixth day of the sixth day, Jurchen has not been quiet for a moment on the way forward from Huangming County.When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is tired, we disturb, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue.When the geographical advantage finally took the initiative, Qu Zhengyan brought the essence of this tactic to the extreme in front of Jurchen.

Yu Yu was miserable. At the beginning of the battle in the southwest, there were scouts fighting in the forest, and there were scenes of mine clearance and even mine advance. At that time, it was still a huge advantage in numbers, and the front line was pushed to the front.At this time, the advantage of Huang Ming's frontline scouts was no longer obvious.

But the advance of the army could not stop at this time.

In the first battle of Huangming County, from the overall situation, the Jurchen has occupied a certain advantage. This advantage is that the strength of the Huaxia Army has been stretched to the extreme, but the Jurchen still has a considerable amount of living strength to fight.From a big strategic point of view, it is the most profitable thing to attack the Huaxia Army at multiple points. The Huaxia Army occupies a favorable location and has an advantage in combat. It does not matter. Even if a few people change, at some point, they will Completely collapsed.

At the same time that Huangming County pushed forward, the operation of Yuyu Creek had also started again.Zong Han hopes to use such a two-line battle to exhaust every spare strength of the Huaxia Army on the battlefield.

In order to deter the back road of Yuyuxi, pulling the speed away requires the soldiers under the command to master the road about fifteen miles in front of Huangming County. On this fifteen-mile road, the Huaxia Army's advantage in defending itself is not high, after all. The mountains are relatively easy to navigate, and the places that cannot be opened can already be bypassed - at most, a wave of thunder - but bearing the attack of the Huaxia army on the way forward is an ordeal that must be overcome.

Of course, even if he knew the truth, as a Jurchen, being ravaged by the enemy on the battlefield was the most embarrassing battle in the rest of his life.

The constant blowing of the autumn wind on the periphery of the main road is only an appetizer. Sometimes Costin will find hundreds of scouts assembled in the rugged mountains, which makes Jurchen extremely nervous.On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qu Zhengyan led the team to intersperse the advancing Jurchen main force. After finding that the opponent was well defended, he fired a few arrows and ran away.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ke, a Khitan man, led more than 300 elite men and tried to launch a counterattack after discovering the traces of Qu Zhengyan's attack. When Qu Zhengyan saw that something was wrong, he turned around and ran away. The thunder formations were not dense, but the 3000 people led by Qu Zhengyan launched a flesh-and-blood counterattack against Xiao Ke's [-] people.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he led the main force to quickly attack and eat the flanks of the opponent's troops who were still confused. Although Xiao Ke's troops were ten times larger than Qu Zhengyan, they became chaotic after a short while in the unfamiliar mountains.Xiao Ke charged forward bravely, and was almost blown in the head by the black gun in the forest shortly afterwards. After he regained consciousness, he quickly retreated, but more than 3000 of the [-] people were killed and injured, and his spirit was completely lost.

The subsequent wave of attacks originated from the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Liu Nianzhi, a general of the Han Dynasty, led more than [-] elites under his command along the mountain road, and was suddenly attacked on the road about seven miles away from Huangming County.

This time, Chen Tian, ​​chief of staff of the [-]th Division, led the team. There were also more than [-] people. After the first wave of engagement, he did not choose to retreat, but launched a wave of strong attacks from the side of the mountain road. He rushed forward and was bombed in three batches by hundreds of grenades from the Chinese soldiers.Six sniper rifles rang out at the same time in the mountains and forests, and Han general Liu Nianzhi was knocked down in a pool of blood along with his horse.After Liu Nian was killed, Chen Tian retreated at full speed with the soldiers.

On the battlefield of Huangming County on the third day of the first lunar month, facing the surrender of the Huaxia Army, there were mainly two Han troops who attacked the waters and one of them was led by Liu Nianzhi.They were the Han army troops who had surrendered to the Jurchens in the Central Plains for a long time. They also participated in the battle of Xiaocanghe back then, and they resisted the Huaxia army quite a lot.However, this wave of beheading and attacking Liu Nianzhi by the Huaxia Army also showed that the Huaxia Army inherited from Ning Yi's stubborn disposition in combat.

After Liu Nianzhi was killed, another army led by the Han general Sun Wang hardly dared to leave Huangming County within a few days.

At Wanfugang, which is more than ten miles away from Huangming County, the main force of the forwards dispatched by Tua Lisu had difficulty camping here, but they were also attacked and harassed by the Fourth Division every day.On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the camp had not yet been set up, and Han Jing led the [-]st Division to pull the artillery that had been withdrawn from Huangming County, and launched a frontal assault aggressively.

At this time, there were only more than [-] Jin Guo troops who arrived here. Han Jing and Qu Zhengyan mobilized almost more than [-] people. During the half-day fight, the camp was swept away by the Huaxia Army, and more than [-] people retreated to the vicinity. on the mountain.

After the Jurchen generals completely chose to retreat, it is not easy to kill them all. After destroying the camp and pooping, the Huaxia Army did not choose to attack further on this day.

The harassment on the road continued non-stop, and the Jurchens were doing their best to get acquainted with and control the turf along the way.On the [-]th of the first month, there was fog in the mountains, and there was a sound of fighting on the mountain road from Huangming County to Wanfugang. This time, what Qu Zhengyan encountered was an unexpected enemy. white flag.

The revenge army after the merger of the Jurchen Yanshanwei led by Wanyan Loushi and the army directly under Ci Wuli, led by Wanyan Xiebao, the king of Baoshan, arrived at the battlefield ahead of schedule. .

Qu Zhengyan instructed people to turn around and run away, and the old scouts affiliated to Yanshanwei chased after him desperately from the rear.

On the road from Huangming County to Zizhou, slaughter and slaughter, ambushes and counterattacks have been staged in the mountains and forests every day, on a large or small scale, but in any case, the Jurchen has been losing again and again. expanding their control over the surrounding area.

In the direction of Yuyu Stream, the wounded in the wounded soldier camp have been transferred to the rear one after another, but Ning Ji, who was helping in the camp, refused to follow and retreat. As an outstanding member of the military medical team, he planned to leave when the main force of the front line retreated. , Hong Ti couldn't convince him for a while.

When the letter reporting the matter was passed to Zizhou and conveyed by Ning Xi to Ning Yi, Ning Yi was looking at the big map in front of him and pondering, he whispered, "Let him go."

"father……"

"Okay, I'll find an excuse to withdraw everyone from Rainwater Creek."

"...Ah?" Ning Xi was stunned by those words.

He looked at his father's face carefully. At this moment, Ning Yi's eyes were fixed on the map but he didn't look at him. His eyes and words were generally cold.

This was the first time Ning Xi couldn't tell if his father's words were a joke or the truth.

In Ning Yi's hand, there is a simple piece of information from the front. Please report two pieces of information.

One: Almost died...

Second: Baoshan admission.

Ning Yi pressed the marker on the map.

　Well, I see a lot of book friends saying, see you next year.

Am I letting you go?really...
