She Song

Chapter 310 Surrounded by the Jin Army!

In the north of Daming Prefecture, 20 Jurchens surged southward in overwhelming numbers, causing countless casualties along the way.

Sixty miles further north, the [-] cavalry vanguard of the Zhenguo Army's pursuing troops were still hanging leisurely.

As the commander of the first regiment of the first division, Chen Liang received orders from Han Xiaoyao and led [-] cavalry to join the pursuit of Wanyan Wushu midway.

To be fair, Chen Liang's ability is not outstanding. He is not as sophisticated as Guo Yaoshi, and his bravery and courage is inferior to Han Shizhong.

But his advantage is execution. No matter what tasks are assigned by his superiors, he will resolutely implement them. More importantly, he is an important figure in the Daming Mansion, and he is also one of the few senior members of Hanji Security who survived in the first place.

Therefore, when he saw Guo Yaoshi and Han Shizhong, although they had higher military ranks than Chen Liang, they still saluted him first according to military rules.

Chen Liang returned the greeting with a smile: "I am new here, and there are many situations that were not mentioned in the military report. Let the two division commanders tell me first, what is the current situation?"

When Medical Master Guo saw Chen Liang coming, he felt a little relieved. After all, the first regiment had been fighting tough and vicious battles, and its combat effectiveness had always been maintained at a high level.

"Wanyan Wushu suddenly went south. His intention is currently unknown. Liangchen and I speculated that maybe he wanted to cross Daming Mansion, go west to Taiyuan, enter Yundi, and return."

Chen Liang chuckled and said without hesitation: "He is dreaming! Since the prince has issued an order of annihilation, they will definitely not be able to go back!"

Han Shizhong, the deputy commander of the Second Division, said with a smile: "But this guy is very slippery. No matter how many people he has, we have been chasing him for five days, but we have been unable to seize the opportunity."

Chen Liang thought for a while and asked: "Jurchens are prone to plundering. Daming Mansion is one of the four capitals. They will probably attack the city. If you have no objection, then take the opportunity to attack."

Pharmacist Guo was a little hesitant, but Han Shizhong was full of energy and immediately slapped his chest and said: "I didn't say anything, just fuck him!"

Chen Liang turned his attention to Yaoshi Guo and said, "Then it's decided that I will be the main attacker, with good ministers as assistants, and Master Guo as the rear guard?"

Pharmacist Guo felt that it would be easy to fall into a trap with 20 light cavalry against [-] Jurchens, but in a two-on-one situation, he could only say: "Just do what Captain Chen wants!"

The three troops then accelerated their march and rushed towards Daming Mansion. At this time, Daming Mansion had been bombarded by the Jin army. The seemingly tall city defense was shattered under the fierce bombardment of hot weapons.

The Jurchens immediately invaded the city and burned, killed, and looted, and Daming Mansion instantly turned into a hell on earth.

Wanyan Wushu was not at all excited, and the attack on Daming Mansion was just to stimulate the motivation of his subordinates. After all, this time he traveled thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty and fought thousands of miles. If he wanted to maintain morale, killing and looting were tried and tested effective methods.

The magistrate of Daming Prefecture and other officials were captured and brought to Wanyan Wushu.

The brutal killings of the Jurchens had already made the officials tremble, but some still managed to ask: "Your two countries are allies, and the general's move is tantamount to breaking the alliance and breaking the treaty..."

Wanyan Wushu sneered and said, "Breaking the alliance? Last year we agreed to send troops together, but you didn't move a single soldier. As a result, our 15-strong army was annihilated. Now we are just collecting a little interest."

After saying that, Wanyan Wushu waved his hand as if to drive away mosquitoes.

The soldiers on the side attacked one by one and beheaded all the officials in a moment.

At this time, spies from the rear came to report that the [-] cavalry of the Zhenguo Army from the north had reached a distance of [-] miles north of the city.

Wanyan Wushu's slightly better mood suddenly darkened again.

In order to counter-kill Guo Yaoshi and Han Shizhong before, he tried to set up an ambush and counter-outflank, but the pursuers were extremely cautious and quickly left at the slightest sign of trouble. It was obvious that they were deliberately entangled to delay time.

It seems that the opponent has gained five or six thousand riders, so he has become much more courageous and dared to chase within a range of thirty miles.

However, Wanyan Wushu was not worried now. Daming Mansion was connected in all directions, and the Jin army was very mobile. The opponent had been chasing for five days and was at least two days away from the large infantry. It was completely possible to eat this annoying lone army.

Two groups of [-] Jurchen cavalry immediately outflanked and blocked the retreat of the Suppressing Army. At the same time, [-] cavalry waited for two quarters of an hour before pressing forward from the front.

Fifty thousand versus fifteen thousand, can you still fly into the sky this time?While Wanyan Wushu fought back against his pursuers, he divided his troops and headed south. The ferocious [-] cavalry immediately rushed towards the floating bridge of the Yellow River and raised their butcher's knives towards the smoke-shrouded capital.

Fifteen miles north of Daming Mansion, at Liujiaji, Chen Liang finally saw the Jin army swarming from the south. At the same time, large groups of Jurchen cavalry were also discovered on both sides.

Sixteen thousand Qingqi of the Zhenguo Army fell into the siege of Wanyan Wushu!

Pharmacist Guo was worried, and Han Shizhong was eager to try.

"Let them surround and gather in!" Without heavy equipment, Chen Liang decided to resist based on the town in front of him.

Pharmacist Guo breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Liang finally understood the importance and did not fight rashly.

Entering Liujiaji, it was in a mess, the Jin army swept all the way, and this small town was also devastated.

However, because the Jurchens were thinking about Daming Mansion, the Zhenguo Army searched every corner and found more than 20 men, women, and children who had survived.

Looking at pairs of frightened eyes, Chen Liang asked his subordinates to strengthen their defenses, while helping collect the bodies of the townspeople who died, and even asked the cooks to cook rice porridge for them to satisfy their hunger.

A teenage boy learned that they were the Zhenguo Army, and he knelt in front of Chen Liang and asked to join the Zhenguo Army to avenge the death of his family.

Chen Liang cursed: "The man has gold under his knees. Kneel to the sky and kneel to the ancestors. Stand up and speak!"

When the boy stood up, Chen Liang told him: "The Zhenguo Army has rules. No one is allowed to join the army under the age of 16! You are not old enough. We will talk about it in a few years..."

The young man couldn't hide his disappointment, but after thinking about it, he took off the silver collar around his neck and handed it to Chen Liang: "Master Jun, this is silver, so be generous and let me join the army!"

Chen Liang took the silver collar, smiled and said: "Baby, bribery is not allowed in the army. Are you trying to make me make a mistake? Besides, this is a souvenir left by your parents for you. I'm afraid if I accept it The sky is thundering!"

Then he put it on for the young man again, thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. My stable boy died in the battle a few days ago. How about you temporarily become a young stable boy for me and give you the same salary every month?"

The young man subconsciously asked: "Can a stable boy kill a golden dog?"

Chen Liang said: "When all of us soldiers die in battle, you can decide for yourself!"

When the young man thought for a while and was still undecided, the observation post already issued a warning.

"Southeast, avoid arrows!"

Chen Liang took the boy with one hand holding a shield and pressed against the wall.

Thousands of crossbow arrows fell into the town, and some soldiers who were unable to avoid the crossbows fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Paramedics immediately braved the rain of arrows to drag them to a safe area for rescue.

As waves of arrows hit, the Jin army almost surrounded Liujiaji and fired crossbows. It was difficult to ensure safety in other positions except hiding in solid brick houses.

Just after the sixth round of arrow rain fell, Chen Liang, Han Shizhong and Guo Yaoshi issued orders to counterattack almost simultaneously.

"put!"

Sixteen thousand soldiers of the Zhenguo Army raised their repeating crossbows at the same time, aiming at the Jurchen cavalry seven or eighty steps outside the town.

"bang bang bang~"

A rain of arrows like dark clouds rose into the sky from the town and flew in all directions.
