- Wanyan Gao's mother happened to be in the rear army and did not follow Wanyan Gao to the front of the formation. She heard a loud noise that shook the earth, and then the front army retreated in defeat and hurriedly sent people to gather the front army.
I heard that Daliang had powerful firearms that could hit more than two miles away. Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zongpan and more than a dozen clan generals were killed in the battle. Naturally, I didn't believe it.
??Immediately sent a team of soldiers and horses to test again. Seeing that the valley was completely blocked by artillery, I hesitated for a while, then directly withdrew my troops and returned to Bei'an Prefecture. I also sent people to Huining Mansion to make up my mind.
The two groups at Gubeikou and Yuguan were on the defensive, while the other group of soldiers and horses on the Prairie Road led by Dong Ping were on the offensive, and they were furious and aggressive.
After the report of Wanyan Zongwang's attack on Yuguan reached Caiyuan Road, Dong Ping immediately led his troops to attack Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the former Liao Kingdom.
Wanyan Yu has also led his troops to Linhuang Mansion. He knows that the power of the Jurchens lies in charging into the battle, not in defending the city. So facing the 110,000 soldiers and horses on the grassland road, Wanyan Yu boldly chose to go out of the city to attack.
The vassal army on Prairie Road also received weapons allocated by the Ministry of War, but the imperial court did not have enough iron armor, so they were only equipped with leather armor and sabers.
After the grassland road was established in Daliang, disputes between various tribes continued, and tribal fighting often occurred, resulting in deaths and injuries. The imperial court did not interfere with the internal fighting among various tribes, but it strictly prohibited large tribes from annihilating or annexing small tribes.
If Dong Ping hadn¡¯t suppressed it as the commander-in-chief of Prairie Road, one hundred thousand vassal troops would have started fighting.
When the two armies fought, the problem of vassal armies was exposed. No one in the tribes wanted to fight to the death, and they all wanted to kill all the hostile tribes.
One hundred thousand barbarians were dispersed by 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and fled for more than 30 miles.
If Wan Yanyu hadn't been worried about going deep into the grassland and being surrounded and annihilated by various ministries, I'm afraid the Jin army could have chased them to the horizon.
Dong Ping also understood the intentions of the grassland. The main force in this decisive battle was the barbarians. His 10,000 cavalry did not participate in the battle. After seeing the defeat of the tribes, they also evacuated the battlefield immediately.
After the Jin soldiers stopped pursuing, Dong Ping ordered to gather the defeated troops. Summon the heads of departments.
When the leaders of each tribe came to Dong Ping, they began to complain that other tribes had fled, leading to the warriors of their tribes.
"Shut up."
Dong Ping shouted loudly, stared at the leaders of the ministries, and said: "One hundred thousand versus twenty thousand, and they were defeated. This is a defeat that Daliang has never had before. This time the defeat was not because you couldn't defeat the Jin soldiers, but because someone Wanting to preserve strength, he disobeyed the general¡¯s orders and fled from the battlefield.¡±
? said. Pointing at a tribal leader, he said, "What do you think is the crime for escaping from battle?"
The expressions of the tribal leaders who were pointed out changed. They all learned the Daliang military discipline after joining the vassal army, and said: "It is not us who are guilty of the death penalty"
"Shut up."
Dong Ping shouted: "You have not received the order to retreat, so you still have to fight even if there is only one person left. Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy. It is because it is your first time to fight for me in Daliang. The punishment will be reduced. Ten people from each department will kill one person. If he commits the crime again, he will be executed by the whole army."
When the leaders of various ministries heard Dong Ping say that one of ten people would be killed, several people immediately shouted.
Dong Ping saw that there were actually people who dared to object, and shouted: "Take them all down."
The surrounding soldiers heard Dong Ping¡¯s order. Immediately pounce on the tribal leader.
When a tribal leader saw Dong Ping¡¯s face full of murderous intent, he pulled out the scimitar from his waist and started fighting with Dong Ping¡¯s soldiers.
Several other tribal leaders hesitated and did not dare to restrain themselves. They drew their swords one after another and started fighting with Dong Ping's soldiers. However, they did not bring any guards, and they were soon surrounded by Dong Ping's soldiers.
These tribal leaders howled one after another. I hope other tribal leaders can help.
Dong Ping looked at the leaders of the ministries with murderous intent and said: "Who wants to rebel?"
He had no good opinion of the grassland ministries in the first place, but after obeying Chao Yong's secret order to reduce the population of each tribe, he became even more confident. Those who are obedient can become a knife in his hands, and those who resist will not be merciful.
When the leaders of various ministries saw that Dong Ping was trying to catch them all, they lowered their heads to avoid Dong Ping's eyes. They all left their guards outside when they came. If there was a conflict, the Han people would definitely be able to stop their guards before they rushed in. Kill them all.
Dong Ping saw that no one jumped out again, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Ma Husi."
Hearing this, Marhusi, the leader of the Kelei tribe, immediately raised his hands and said, "Here you are."
Dong Ping asked: "How many people from the Ke Lie tribe are in the vassal army?"
Mal Husi was appointed by Chao Yong as an inspector of the Kerei Department, and also commanded all the Kerei people in the vassal army. His expression changed and he said: "There are 25,000 people, some of whom died in the battle just now."
Dong Ping nodded and said: "You lead your troops to annihilate those rebel tribes. TheyThe population of the tribe is also given to you. Within an hour, I hope to see 2,500 heads of your tribe. "
Hearing this, Ma Husi couldn't help but think about it. The rebel tribes were neither big nor small, and the population remaining on the grassland was tens of thousands. With Dong Ping's support, they would definitely be able to annex them. Just killing 2,500 tribesmen would be more difficult to choose.
While Malhusi was still thinking about it, a big man jumped out and said: "I am willing to lead troops to destroy them, and I will also kill two thousand of our people."
The speaker was Hebul Khan of the Mongolian tribe, who almost unified all the Mongolian tribes.
Seeing that Hebul Khan wanted to rob those tribes, Malhusi Khan hurriedly said: "I'll go right away."
After saying that, he strode out.
Chao Yong asked Dong Ping to be wary of the Mongolian tribe the most. How could Dong Ping let the Mongolian tribe grow stronger? He glanced at Hebule and said angrily: "Keep the golden man alive. Within an hour, I want to see it." If the heads sent by various tribes dare to escape or rebel, Daliang will send troops to kill them, and all the women and children of the tribe will be beheaded. "
After saying that, he waved the leaders of each department to leave.
Several leaders who resisted have been cut into pieces by Dong Ping's soldiers. These tribal barbarians may be more powerful than Dong Ping's soldiers on horseback, but they are no match for Dong Ping's soldiers on the ground.
The leaders of various ministries left quickly for fear that Dong Ping would regret it.
Out of Dong Ping's sight, the leader of the Naiman Tribe caught up with Hebulehan and said, "Are you really going to kill one of your own people?"
The largest tribes in the grassland are the Naiman tribe, the Kelie tribe, the Mongolian tribe, the Tatar tribe, the Merqi tribe, the Ugu tribe, and the Dilie tribe.
Hebulehan said: "The soldiers and horses in Daliang are more than the entire population of the grassland, and all the tribes are feuding. I don't know how many people like the Kle tribe have taken refuge in Daliang. We can't resist them, we can only listen to them." Besides, since we take other people¡¯s money, we have to work hard for them.¡±
After saying that, he hit his horse and ran towards the place where his tribe¡¯s soldiers and horses were stationed.
soon. The fighting broke out again on the grassland.
The tribes could not unite, and no one dared to resist Daliang's rule, so they could only kill their own people. However, there are many tribes under each major tribe. No one wants to kill the people of their own tribe. Instead, they attack some small branch tribes, but the small tribes are not willing to die for the big tribes.
The strength of the big tribe was still superior. Within an hour, all the tribes sent their heads one after another.
In the battle with the Jin soldiers, the 100,000 vassal troops only suffered a few thousand casualties, but Dong Ping's military order caused the death of more than 10,000 people. Several tribes that tried to resist Dong Ping were completely wiped out.
More than 10,000 heads were piled together, like a small hill, which also shocked all the people carrying the heads.
The ministries had already set up camp. Dong Ping looked at the leaders of the ministries who had arrived to give orders, and then he said: "The military discipline of Daliang cannot be violated. If you dare to escape from the battle next time, everyone will be killed without mercy."
The leaders of each department also behaved a lot and obeyed orders.
Dong Ping looked at the leaders who had tamed many ministries, nodded with satisfaction and said: "We will attack Linhuang Mansion tomorrow. We must win but not lose. Without my orders, we will fight to the death."
In fact, the leaders of various ministries are not afraid of the Jin people, they just don't want to damage their own strength. They used to carry machetes. The bone arrows dared to attack the Liao Kingdom, and now they are wearing leather armor and holding sophisticated sabers, in addition to the large beams with firearms. They fear no one.
After being killed by Dong Ping, no one dared to preserve their strength.
The next day, Dong Ping led more than 80,000 vassal troops to Linhuang Mansion.
Wanyan Yu originally thought that the Daliang soldiers and horses would be reorganized in a few days. Unexpectedly, he arrived so quickly, so he immediately led his golden soldiers ten miles out of the city to fight.
This time, Wanyan Yu discovered that the grassland tribes were fierce, and their shooting skills were similar to theirs, but their equestrian skills were much better than those of them, wild men who grew up in the mountains and forests. In the melee, they were no less ferocious than them. What was even more shameless was that they used the swords carefully made by the Han people, and their armor could be chopped down by these barbarians.
After fighting for more than an hour, Wanyan Yu realized that the Jurchens were completely invincible, which was completely a lie to scare people. The 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command are all Jurchen soldiers. Once they get into a fight with various tribes in the grassland, they will fall off their horses one by one.
??Seeing that there are fewer and fewer Jurchens around, and more and more people from various grassland tribes. Wanyan Yu did not dare to fight anymore and asked the messenger behind him to blow the horn and retreat.
More than 80,000 vassal troops and 20,000 Jin troops fought on the grassland for more than ten miles. After the killing was inextricable, Dong Ping appeared on the hill on one side of the battlefield with 10,000 cavalry.
"Woo woo woo"
A powerful horn sound sounded on the battlefield, and the fighting golden soldiers left the battlefield and fled back.
??Dong Ping sees the golden man¡¯s commandHe ran away, unable to hold back any longer, he raised his right pistol and shouted: "Kill."
He was originally a person who loved to charge into battle, and as a general soldier along the way, he had to force himself to stay behind, and he could no longer hold it in any longer.
Wanyan Yu had just fought his way out of the battle group under the protection of his own soldiers. He heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves from the side. He turned around and saw that the Han cavalry who had been recharging their strength was charging towards them. He did not dare to fight anymore, so he hit the horse and fled to Linhuang Mansion.
Dong Ping's recharged war horses were undoubtedly much faster than the horses of the Jin soldiers who had been fighting for more than an hour, but they had to cover a longer distance in diagonal thrusts. The Jurchens fought hard to beat the horses, and there were still some Jin soldiers. Ran to the front.
The Jin soldiers behind were naturally killed by various grassland tribes. Dong Ping¡¯s target was Wan Yan Yu who ran at the front. However, after chasing outside Linhuang Mansion, Dong Ping's troops were stopped by the Qianjin Gate, which also blocked the retreat of the Jin soldiers behind.
In order to prevent the beams from blowing through the city gates, the Jin Kingdom added thousands of catty gates to the frontier fortresses. Of course, the Thousand Jin Gate is only more difficult to explode than the city gate, it just requires more gunpowder. Jin Guo also knew about this situation, but they could not think of a better way.
Dong Ping gathered his troops and ordered all the troops in the grassland to kill all the Jin soldiers who could catch up outside the city, and then asked Hebul Khan of Mongolia to obey the order.
Hebule led the Mongols to gather on Dong Ping's flank. He rode his horse to Dong Ping and followed the example of the Daliang people, clasping their fists and saluting.
Dong Ping nodded and said: "Take some people to fill in a section of the moat so that the engineers can approach the city wall and use gunpowder."
"yes"
Hebule didn¡¯t hesitate, clasped his fists and accepted the order, and soon the Mongols drove their horses towards the moat.
The golden soldiers at the top of the city saw someone rushing over and shot arrows for free.
He Bu Le was not stupid. He first filled the river with war horses, and then filled the soil with the cloth bags prepared by Daliang. Soon, he filled up a road that was more than ten feet wide.
The war horses of the vassal army were purchased from the ministries by the Daliang court and were not the property of the ministries. They don't feel uncomfortable using it either.
As soon as the road was paved, two burly men wearing heavy armor pushed a steel cart toward the city wall.
Wanyan Yu looked at the city and knew what they were going to do. He saw that the bows and arrows were useless and the catapults could not hit. He didn't dare to stay any longer and ran down with the Jurchen soldiers on the city.
When the Han troops guarding the city saw that the Jurchen soldiers, who were usually more ferocious than wild beasts, had all run away, they also ran down one after another.
Without any obstruction, the two big men quickly pushed the steel plate under the city wall, lit the fuse, and ran back quickly.
There are not many people who can run so fast wearing heavy armor.
Two big men just ran out of Liyu. A loud bang sounded behind him, the ground shook, and dust flew into the sky.
Outside the city, all the grassland tribes who were still chasing Jin Bing more than ten miles away heard this earth-shattering loud noise. If they had not known that the beam was like thunder of gunpowder, I am afraid that all the barbarians would lie on the ground and worship the Immortal God.
After Wanyan Yu led his troops down to the city, he fled to the east gate, planning to abandon the city and flee back to Huining Mansion, where he and Wanyan Wu begged to discuss the fight against Daliang.
This time the troops were sent to stir up a hornet's nest. The grassland ministries alone are enough for the Jurchens to resist with all their strength. If Daliang sends another 100,000 troops. The Kingdom of Jin was in danger.
Before they reached the east gate, gunpowder exploded, and all the war horses in the city were so frightened that they fell limply to the ground, and excrement and urine flowed out.
Wanyan Yu was also crushed to the ground by the war horse. Pushing away the war horse and getting up, he looked back at the fallen city wall behind him. Looking at the appearance of the war horse, he knew that it was useless, so he could only escape on foot with his Jurchen soldiers.
If you stay in the city, you will definitely be beaten to death by the grassland tribes. Escape and grab some war horses and maybe you can escape.
Dong Ping and his men retreated a full five miles away. Even so, some of the horses were frightened.
Hebulehan watched the towering city wall disappear in the distance, and he called out to the Immortal Sky in his heart. Fortunately, they were not enemies of Daliang. Although they did not have a city for Daliang to blow up, Daliang could drown them all with just one spit.
Dong Ping calmed down his horse and said to Hebule: "You lead your troops to attack the city. I will enter the city before dark."
"yes"
Hebul Khan bowed respectfully and roared away with the Mongols.
By the time they rolled into the city from the rubble, all the Jurchen soldiers in the city had fled, and most of the Han army surrendered on the spot. To the Han people, Daliang was their country. In the Jin Kingdom, they were not slaves, but also Under et al.
The ministries outside the city killed many Jurchens, but failed to capture Wanyan Yu.
Wanyan Yu led dozens of Jurchen soldiers to break out of the encirclement. The remaining Jurchen soldiers without horses were all killed by various ministries.
Dong Pingfeng Chao YongThe general ordered that each Jurchen be rewarded with ten guans on his head and five guan on each Jurchen's head.
Although the various tribes in the grassland are barbaric, they also know which ones are more and which are less. They brought back half-bald heads and no prisoners.
That night, more than 17,000 people were reported beheaded by various ministries. Only more than 2,000 people did not escape back to Linhuang Mansion after the melee on the grassland, but fled directly back.
The grassland tribes also suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Including those killed by Dong Ping earlier, after Linhuang Mansion was captured, more than 70,000 vassal troops were left among the 100,000 vassals.
The army rested for the night in Linhuang Mansion, and instead of going south to attack Zhongjing Road, they headed east towards Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Wu Qimai was originally waiting for someone from the front to send back gold, silver or beautiful women. Unexpectedly, within ten days of sending troops, Wanyan Zongwang sent someone back to complain and ask Bo Jilie to withdraw his troops. This group of troops can be said to be direct descendants of Wanyan Aguda, and they are led by the three brothers Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Wu Qimai does not doubt their combat effectiveness. The Prime Minister Wanyan Zongqian also knew about the martial prowess of his three younger brothers. When Wanyan Zongwang said that he could not conquer Yuguan, he hesitated.
Before the two of them could make up their mind, news came back from all the way to Gubeikou that Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zongpan and more than a dozen people had been killed by Daliang artillery.
Until the founding of the Jin Dynasty, so many members of the clan have not been killed or injured. Now the two of them knew the power of Daliang's firearms. They had just ordered the two groups of troops to withdraw, and that night Wanyan Yu fled back with dozens of remaining soldiers.
The soldiers on patrol at night were still in shock caused by the embarrassed Wanyan Yu and his party, when they discovered that the Prime Minister Wanyan Zongqian was also rushing towards the palace with his people.
The palace, which had long since rested, was brightly lit again, and Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongqian, and Wanyan Yu gathered together.
After Aguda died, the five Bo Jilie, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Gao all died at Gubeikou. It was only the three of them who discussed major events in the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Zongqian still looked at Wanyan Yu in disbelief and said: "Twenty thousand Jurchen soldiers only come back with a few dozen?"
Wanyan Yu said: "There may be some people who escaped, but not too many. I was afraid of delaying the big event, so I kept running back day and night, and I don't know what happened next."
Wanyan Wu also had a headache when asking for money: "Are the prairie barbarians better than us Jurchens?"
Wanyan Yu said: "Their equestrian skills are better than ours, and they fight as fiercely as us. Moreover, they have the armor of Daliang, and their weapons are no worse than ours. In the first formation, I led my troops to fight with them in the field. No one from the grassland tribes wanted to I tried my best to chase them for thirty miles. Unexpectedly, when they came back the next day, they refused to retreat. The 20,000 Jurchen soldiers could not disperse them. If they continued to fight, they would definitely be surrounded by the barbarians. After killing them all, I had to order a breakout to Linhuang Mansion. The Han people's gunpowder was also powerful, and the city wall collapsed in one fell swoop. I couldn't guard it, so I fled back with my men. This battle couldn't be continued, otherwise the beams would still be destroyed. I don¡¯t know how many barbarians can be mobilized.¡±
Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded and said: "I have asked the other two groups of troops to retreat. Xieye and Puluhu were both killed by the Han artillery. The Han people have firearms that can hit more than two miles away. Xieye They went to watch the battle and were killed directly.¡±
As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the Han people's spaceship would be broken with just one poke, but the gunpowder would be so powerful."
