this is a big company

Chapter 168 Xuantu Banner

The Jin people wanted to capture the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, but Yang Mu had no objection at all.

This kind of emperor will only domineering over the people, not doing serious things at all, but doing a lot of unscrupulous things.

During the first month of Kaifeng in Bianjing, when it was besieged for the first time, the [-] frontier troops of the elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty rushed to King Qin of Kaifeng under the leadership of Zhong Shidao.

Later, due to the failure of the battle of robbery, Zhong Shidao was revoked from the military power.

Jin Bing commander Wanyan Zongwang, who had retreated to Mengyang, a far northwest suburb of Kaifeng, set up camp, heard that Zhong Shidao had been revoked of his military power, and once again led his troops to besiege Bianjing.

Song Qinzong, who was hurriedly ascended to the throne by Song Huizong, was terrified, and sent someone in shock to say, "I didn't know what happened at the beginning, and I will punish him more."

Later, in order not to offend Jin Bing, he actually decapitated a thunderbolt gunner, and the crime was just because the gunner fired a cannon in the face of the arrogant Jin Bing!
Song Qinzong's behavior chilled the hearts of the bloody men in the Song Dynasty.

As a result, after the Jin soldiers besieged the city for the second time in August, the soldiers in Bianjing no longer had the enthusiasm to defend their homes and the country.

Song Qinzong relegated Li Gang, who had made great contributions in defending Bianjing for the first time, and handed over the full power of war, defense, and peace to Prime Minister He Li.

This Prime Minister He is also a great man, he does not believe in common people and in ghosts and gods.

He Li, this person, made plans with both hands from the beginning.

While superstitious about the monster Guo Jing's Liujia Shenbing, he sent a privy envoy, Feng Chen, to Wanyan Zonghan's army to seek peace, thinking that he was safe on both counts.

It can be seen that his actions are obviously not what a sincere city guard should do.

As a result, it was precisely this Guo Jing who caused Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Bing generals to break the city.

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong became captives of the Jin people without any suspense.

The gold man asked for gold compensation, but the gold in the treasury was the result.Together with the folk search, it simply cannot meet the requirements of the Jinren.

The Jinren "reluctantly" informed that they could exchange women for equivalent value.

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion really did their best for the Jin people in this regard. In addition to escorting all the court and clan women to the Jinbing camp, they also searched for the women of Bianjing, and even those who were married.

In order to claim credit, Xu Bingzhe, governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, bought hairpin shirts, crowns, and fresh clothes, and sent [-] women from concubines, concubines, and Lehu out of the capital in all their costumes, and handed them over to the Jin army.

In the end, the Jin people selected more than 600 women, including concubines, princesses, concubines, imperial concubines, court ladies, clan wives, clan wives, singing girls, and official and civilian girls.

At this time, Jin Bing learned the first lesson.With 5 people on the West Road, the supervisor outside Tongguan stopped the Song Dynasty's Western Army Qin Wang.

Seventy-eight million people of the Eastern Route Army participated in the siege of Bianjing, Tokyo.

The defenders in Kaifeng City were less than [-], and the hearts of the people were scattered.

Those who were dressed in costumes cursed along the street on the way to the Jinjun camp.

I don't know what the feelings of those big Song men on the street are.

Yang Mu stood on top of a tall building. Although the wind was strong, his whole body was enveloped by the wind, and his clothes didn't move at all in the wind.

Sikong Sheng stood next to Yang Mu, looking at this scene, his eyes were about to burst into flames, "Pavilion Master, when are we going to do it? I really can't help it and want to kill these sons of bitches!"

Yang Mu has gone through many worlds and experienced countless world events. He thought that it would be difficult for him to make waves in his heart, but seeing this scene now, he is still suppressing his anger.

There is anger at the brutality and inhumanity of the Jin people, and there is also anger at the weakness and incompetence of the current Song people.

Song people, Song people!Really good at "giving away"!
No matter how humiliating Jingkang was, it was created by the people of Song Dynasty.

Yang Muyuan was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Hearing Sikong Sheng's words, Yang Mu waved his hands, "Everything is going according to plan. Go ahead and get ready."

Sikong Sheng and Chen Ji bowed and said yes, they all retreated with a sigh of relief, making the final arrangement.

The elite of the Western Army was trapped in Tongguan, and the Qin Wangjun from all over the country was also held back by the orders of Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong, the ministers of the Surrender Faction.

Only Zhang Shuye, the governor of the South Road, and his two sons defied the order of surrender and recruited 3000 soldiers to serve the king.

This team of only 3000 people pulled up temporarily, won and lost [-] battles with Wan Yan Zonghan, and finally the whole army broke into Kaifeng City.

From the perspective of the Jin people, there is no Song Dynasty army that can compete with the army on the entire Central Plains battlefield.

Even the two emperors of the Song Dynasty had already surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, and the remaining soldiers and civilians all fled when they saw the Jin soldiers.

Therefore, whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Zonghan, or the generals, big and small, they all focus on how to search for money and women.

It never occurred to him that there was an army of 10 people hidden just outside Guandu.

This army was built by Yang Mu in imitation of the 'Five Elements Banner' of the Lighting Sect.

Each banner has two phases, each with 1 people.

Yang Mu set up staff officers and political commissars by referring to the composition of the army in the real world.

Yang Mu, as the head of the "Shenji Pavilion", does not directly lead the army, but delegates his powers.

He is not worried that the rights will not be taken back, and he will become like Mingjiao and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yang Mu has the absolute power to suppress this era, but if some things are done alone, wouldn't it be very tiring.

Therefore, it is necessary to have more subordinates. If there is anything, just leave it to them.

For more than 20 years, Yang Mu used the ideas and knowledge of later generations to arm a large number of direct descendants.

The Five Elements Banner army has only been established for five or six years.

It was this army, which had just been established five or six years ago, that turned the water bandits entrenched in the Han River and the bandits in the mountain villages in the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains into fly ash under the power of the Shenji Army.

Therefore, Yang Mu is very relieved to delegate the command power of this "Bianjing Operation" to the staff department.

With the help of the ubiquitous intelligence system of the 'Shenji Pavilion', the staff has made in-depth research on the terrain and the generals of the Jinren.

And formulate a series of corresponding combat plans. After war games are deduced on the sand table, three sets of plans that are closest to actual combat are selected.

These three sets of plans are then screened by the generals participating in the combat command to determine the priority.Stay on the battlefield and make reasonable changes within the scope of the plan depending on the situation.

Jin Bing occupies a large area of ​​grassland in the north, so there is no shortage of cavalry.The cavalry is the main force in the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

'Shenji Pavilion' was located in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and the horses were naturally not as rich as the Jin Kingdom's army.

Since the plan to form cavalry was established, within five years, the Five Elements Banner could only have [-] cavalry every two periods.

There are only [-] cavalry under the command of the entire 'Shenji Pavilion'.

And out of these ten thousand cavalry, only five thousand cavalry can be considered real cavalry, comparable to the cavalry of the Golden Soldiers.

The rest are not so much cavalry as infantry on horseback.

The horses ridden by some cavalrymen are the worst horses among the worst horses, and it should be said that they are slightly stronger than donkeys.

After Sikong Sheng and Chen Ji's orders were issued, several carrier pigeons quickly soared into the sky, fluttered their wings, and disappeared into the sky.

Soon, forty miles away, the lurking army was dispersed and began to move.

Although Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan in the Jinbing camp outside Bianjing City also sent scouts to investigate the enemy's situation.But most of the scouts were placed in Tongguan, as well as the old road on their return journey, northwest.

Just in case you get cut off.

Just relying on their 8-[-] East Route Army, once they were bitten by the King Qin's army of the Song Dynasty and fell into the vast ocean of the people's war, they would have to shed a layer of skin if they didn't die.

What's more serious, if you want to leave, you won't be able to.

The people of the grasslands have always felt a sense of fear in their hearts against the suppression of the number of the Central Plains Dynasty.

For the grassland peoples, what is most in line with their interests is nothing more than to hunt grass valleys to the Song land every year!It's in their best interest to just grab one and leave.

People who grew up on horseback can't expect to have the intention of fighting for world hegemony from the very beginning.

Facing a behemoth, even if there are wolves on the grassland, they will not rush to kill it all at once, but use tactics to continuously consume the spirit of the behemoth.

When the behemoth's spirit child is exhausted, the only thing waiting for the behemoth will be the final blow and return victorious.

Therefore, even if Bianjing was besieged for the second time, the Jin people still did not think about completely destroying the Song Dynasty.

The Jin people also knew very well that even if the two emperors of the Song Dynasty were taken away, Bianjing City would still be Bianjing City.The territory of the Song Dynasty would not be destroyed all at once just because the two emperors were captured.

This time they grabbed a huge amount of spoils. In order to ensure that these things can return to "Nanjing" smoothly and safely, in the northwest direction, the two golden marshals arranged for a group of people with the largest number of people and the most frequent missions.

The Five Elements Banner first dispatched an elite cavalry unit to clear out the golden scouts at the front!Ensure that the follow-up march will not be discovered by the enemy.

When the troops of the Five Elements Banner were about to reach Kaifeng City, the number of enemy scouts suddenly increased a lot.

Finally, during a campaign against them, a wounded golden man took advantage of his steed and threw off several of their five-element flag cavalrymen who were chasing him.

Seeing the golden soldiers fleeing, the scout corps leader couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet. He hid it so well. Now that the golden soldiers were alarmed, the follow-up troops might not be able to take care of their stealth.

After the scouts returned to the Jin Army camp, they immediately reported what they saw and heard to the two marshals of the Jin Army.

At first, the two marshals thought that this was just a small group of cavalry, and they were just trying to wreak havoc.

Therefore, the two marshals only sent a thousand-man cavalry.

In their view, with the elite cavalry of the Golden Army, even if they couldn't fight, no one could catch up if they wanted to run.

The arrangement of the two golden marshals just bought more time for the action of the Five Elements Flag.

Seeing that they wanted to hide, it was impossible to hide any longer. The Five Elements Banner concentrated the superior cavalry force and surrounded all 1000 Jin people.

Surrounded by the superior forces of the Five Elements Banner, the 1000 soldiers of the Golden Army were quickly wiped out.

This time, none were let go.

When the five-way army approached the Jin Army camp mightily, the dust it raised was discovered by the soldiers of the Jin Army, and they quickly reported it to Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan.

The two marshals hurriedly boarded the cloud cart. From the high cloud cart, they could clearly see that the five-way army was advancing rapidly, and they were about to encircle them in the camp.

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan quickly ordered their subordinates to drive out the thousands of women who had already entered the camp.

Anyway, with the two emperors of the Song Dynasty as hostages, they dared not risk the disgrace of the world and attack the Jin army camp regardless of the emperor's life or death.

On the contrary, thousands of women were placed in the big camp and had to be guarded by manpower.If one is not well guarded, it is a mess.

In addition, the extra thousands of mouths have to consume the food and grass in the army.

Before that, there were supplies in Kaifeng City that could be replenished.But at this time, the gate of Kaifeng City was closed.From the shouts of killing erupting from the city, it can be known that the Jin soldiers who are searching for financial resources in the city may have already encountered disaster.

Before, they were only focused on searching for money, but they did not expect that they would be surrounded, and the food and grass they found in the city were not transported to the camp immediately.

In fact, in the eyes of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, even if they were surrounded by [-] soldiers of the Song Dynasty, it was not a big deal.

Song Dynasty soldiers have always been weak in their eyes.As long as the Jin soldiers drove their horses and swung their swords or maces, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had no choice but to flee for their lives.

During the time when Song Huizong and Song Qinzong surrendered, the people of Kaifeng never thought that they would fall into such an abyss of hell.

In addition to being burned, killed, and plundered by the Jin people, they were also forced by the government to sacrifice their women.

That family would willingly sacrifice their own woman or daughter!
The people of the whole city, in silence, have already filled their chests with anger.

Most of the original defenders in the city were confiscated by the Jin soldiers and detained outside the city.Only a few soldiers stayed in the city to assist Jin Bing in maintaining order.

In fact, there is no order in Bianjing City!

It is said to maintain order, but it is just letting them lead the way to rob.

When the people in the city discovered that there was an army of "King Qin" outside the city, they quietly connected together, closed the city gate, killed the golden soldiers who were domineering in the city, and coerced those "two emperors" to kill the golden soldiers together. Defend the walls!
In fact, the people in the city, like Jin Bing, didn't figure out where the [-] troops that suddenly appeared came from, so they arbitrarily labeled them "King's Division".

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan did not consider where this army came from when the enemy was already in front of them.

In their view, the first thing to do is to kill the opponent's momentum.

So, they sent [-] cavalry out of the camp, and rushed directly to the Xuantu Banner in the northwest direction.

The left banner master and the right banner master saw that there were golden cavalry attacking, but they did not send their only [-] cavalry.

Instead, they ordered people to turn over the heavy trucks in front of the formation and connect them end to end to form a simple buffer barrier.

The shield soldiers are in front and the archers are in the back.

Wanyan Zonghan, who stood on the cloud tower and watched the battle formation, pointed to the Xuantu Banner's army formation, "After the swordsmen and archers of the Song army, what kind of arms are they, why are they so strange!"

Wanyan Zongwang looked intently, the distance was a little far away, but he could vaguely see that those soldiers had a pocket hanging on their front and back, and only a simple simple knife at their waist!

The doubts of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were quickly answered.

When the cavalry of the Jin Army rushed within the range of their bows and arrows, the soldiers of the Xuantu Banner shot out armor-piercing arrows like rain at the order of their respective officers.

Rows of soldiers of the Golden Army fell down together with their horses.
