Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Chapter 881 Medicine Master Guo Who Falls Short

"Kill the golden dogs! Kill these golden dogs! Kill!"

Guo Yaoshi's fierce general Zhen Wuchen slashed with a knife, killed two generals of the Jin army standing in front of the horse, and led more than 500 death squads in heavy armor to break into a square formation of the Jin army, scattering the opponents in all directions. , A breakthrough was opened on the front of the Jin army.

"Brothers, come with me!"

Guo Yaoshi, who was soaked in blood, led thousands of cavalry to rush in through the breakthrough opened by Zhen Wuchen, and completely tore apart the Jin army Wanyan Benjian who was facing the front.

Prior to this, Guo Yaoshi's department had already repelled the two army formations of Wuyan Puluhun and Chizhanhui of the Jin Army, and broke into the depths of the Jin Army's camp.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng Army and Wanyan Zongwang's Jin Army had been fighting bloody battles on the east bank of the Baihe River for an hour. The battlefield was shimmering with cold light, bows and arrows rained like rain, and the sound of killing was loud. .

Guo Yaoshi's ever-victorious army is dominated by Han people in Liaodong and Yandi. This army has fought against the Jin army for many years when it served in Liao.Although the past record has more defeats and fewer victories, the Changsheng army has become accustomed to fighting the Jin army, and is not as timid and afraid of fighting as other Song armies.

After taking refuge in the Song Dynasty, with the financial support of the court, Guo Yaoshi replaced the armor and weapons, added horses, and armed the Ever Victorious Army better than before.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of this ever-victorious army today exceeds that of the ever-victorious army of the Liao Dynasty.This is the confidence that Guo Yaoshi dared to cross the river and take the initiative to attack the Jin army.

The two armies were equal in strength, and they formed a formation along the river bank, chasing each other, and the battlefield stretched for twenty or thirty miles.

Originally, the actual combat effectiveness of the Jin army was still better than that of the Ever-Victorious Army, but the Ever-Victorious Army came prepared with enough food and drink, but the Jin Army rushed to the battle before eating, and its strength was inevitably weakened. The Ever Victorious Army ended in a tie, and no one could do anything about it.

At this time, the competition is the morale and endurance of the army, as well as the will and determination of the generals of the two armies.

Guo Yaoshi led the troops back and forth on the battlefield and found the gap in the left wing of the Jin army. Army coach Wanyan Zongwang.

Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen fought fiercely, and finally killed Wanyan Benjian, the left wing of the Jin army, and rushed straight to the gate of the Jin army's central camp.

"The Jin army is defeated! Enter the village, kill the generals and capture the flag!"

Guo Yaoshi shouted excitedly, and stabbed the scattered golden army in front of the village.

The fierce general Zhen Wuchen held up his shield and braved the rain of arrows from the Jin army's camp to rush to the gate of the village. He used the rope he had prepared in his hand to wrap around the wooden fence of the gate, and shouted: "Pull!"

Beside Zhen Wuchen, several death-death squads followed the same pattern, using ropes to wrap around the wooden fence of the gate of the village.

Hundreds of death squads behind Zhen Wuchen grabbed the long ropes and pulled them outward, trying to pull down the gate of the Jinjun camp.

Seeing this, the defenders in the Jin Army camp shot randomly with bows and arrows, and at the same time surrounded a group of soldiers, trying to cut off the ropes on the gate of the village with knives.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Zhen Wuchen roared hoarsely, grabbed a long spear and stabbed wildly into the gate of the village, stabbing several Jin soldiers who were approaching to death.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Wuchen dodged to the side, only to hear a "crack~bang~", the Muzhai gate of the Golden Army camp was forcibly pulled down by the death squads.

"Come with me!"

Guo Yaoshi saw the gate of the middle camp of the Jin army was open, and immediately got rid of the Jin soldiers around him, and led the army to kill the camp.

Guo Yaoshi knew that as long as he successfully attacked the camp of the Jin Army's middle army and killed the Jin Army's coach Wanyan Zongwang, today's battle would be final.

However, just when Guo Yaoshi desperately entered the Jin Army's camp, thinking that victory was in sight, Zhang Linghui's troops on the left wing of the Changsheng Army couldn't stand it anymore.

There was a chaotic battle on the battlefield, I was among you, and you were among me. When Guo Yaoshi launched an assault from the right wing and broke through the left wing of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongwang did not sit in the central army tent, but personally went into battle to kill the enemy. Together Yan Zongbi led the main force of the Jurchen army to launch a strong attack on the left wing of the Changsheng army.

Wanyan Zongbi was also a well-known brave general among the younger generation of Jurchens. With his spear and horse leaping, he seemed to be in no man's land in Zhang Linghui's army.

Behind Wanyan Zongbi, Han Chang, a fierce general of the Jin army, stayed close to Wanyan Zongbi's side, guarding Wanyan Zongbi's flanks.

Under Wanyan Zongbi's fierce charge, the Jin army broke through to Zhang Linghui's personal camp several times, posing a great threat to Zhang Linghui.

After Zhang Jue was betrayed and killed by the Song court, Zhang Linghui had long been disappointed with the Song court and lost much loyalty.Today's bloody battle with the Jin army is entirely for the sake of his old brother Guo Yaoshi, fighting for Guo Yaoshi.

However, the battlefield is now in chaos, and Guo Yaoshi also lost his voice after he entered the Jin army's camp, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.Zhang Linghui didn't know that Guo Yaoshi had already occupied the camp of the Jin army. Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and lost confidence in winning, he led his troops to flee the battlefield.

Wanyanzong was overjoyed to see Zhang Linghui, the left wing of the Changsheng Army, retreating, and immediately led his army to pursue Zhang Linghui.

The defeat of the army is like a mountain, and a defeat in one place will inevitably cause a chain reaction.Seeing that Zhang Linghui was defeated, Liu Shunren, who was fighting fiercely with the Jin army's fierce general "Iron Hammer" Wanyan Jiamu, had no fighting spirit, and ordered his troops to flee to the rear.

At this time, Wanyan Jiamu had discovered that the camp of the Jin army had been breached by the Song army. He ordered Xiemao Ali to lead the troops to continue to cover up and kill Liu Shunren's troops, and he took Alubu back to fight against the camp of the Jin army.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen had entered the camp of the Jin army and killed many Jin troops guarding the camp.

However, Wan Yan Zongwang, the head coach of the Jin Army, was not in the camp, so Guo Yaoshi was in vain.

Guo Yaoshi was furious, and ordered his subordinates to cut down the camp flag of the Jin army, and then ordered people to burn the Jin camp.But in a hurry, the whole army could not find the fire, and failed to set off the fire.

"Five ministers, I'll go out and find Yan Zongwang for a decisive battle!"

Guo Yaoshi roared and led the troops out of the Jin army camp.

"Not good! Our army is defeated!"

Zhen Wuchen pointed to the Changsheng army fleeing to the west, and the flags of Liu Shunren and Zhang Linghui could still be seen vaguely.

"Hateful! Liu Shunren, Zhang Linghui, you wait to ruin my big business!"

Guo Yaoshi was so angry that he stabbed the gun into the ground.

At this time, there were shouts of killing all around, and the left wings of the Jin Army, which had been killed by Guo Yaoshi, gathered up the remnants and fought back.

At the same time, "Iron Hammer" Wanyan's mother also rushed back with the army.

Now Guo Yaoshi's department has been isolated, and if they don't retreat, they will be surrounded by the Jin army.

The subordinates of Guo Yaoshi's department all persuaded him to evacuate as soon as possible, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

The soldiers around him were all covered in blood, and they had already done their best for him as the coach.If Guo Yaoshi is stubborn again, these brothers will all stay here to be buried with him.

Now that all the friendly troops are retreating, even if all the brothers are killed in battle, what good will it do?

Guo Yaoshi let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​fighting the Jin army to the end, and ordered the whole army to retreat helplessly.

Before the encirclement of the Jin army, Guo Yaoshi led his troops to break out of the siege, cross the Baihe River and retreat to Yanjing City.

Although Guo Yaoshi's department of the ever-victorious army achieved a small victory in this campaign, the casualties were also very heavy.

The 300 guards of the coach Guo Yaoshi had only more than 120 people left, and more than half of the army was lost.

If Guo Yaoshi hadn't managed the army well, the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army would have been willing to fight to the death for him. With such a high loss rate, the army would have collapsed long ago.

Unfortunately, even though Guo Yaoshi tried his best, the Changsheng Army was still defeated in the decisive battle of Baihe.

Chapter 882 Her Majesty's Rebellion

During the fierce battle between the Changsheng Army and the Jin Army in Baihe, Cai Jing, the appeasement envoy and prefect of Yanshan Prefecture, led the officials of Yanshan Prefecture to the city to watch the outcome of the battle.
