Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 123 Jin Jun asked me to bring you a message. If you tell your mother, beat her!

Xia Lord Li Qianshun was first shot and wounded, and then attacked by assassins. No one cared about his body lying there, and the entire imperial camp was filled with the stench of his old man's body.

Liang Zhe was decisive by nature. When he knew that Lord Xia was dead, he took away more than 2,000 of his men without hesitation and surrendered directly.

Liu Ling looked at Liang Zhe and the Xia soldiers beside him. The Xia army under the other party retained a complete organizational structure, and because it was the direct army of the Xia Lord, there were a considerable number of armored soldiers in the army, with relatively high training and combat effectiveness. High, he belongs to the kind of regular army.

Facing the large-scale appearance of the Jin cavalry, the Xia army deployed spearmen and shield soldiers in the front and flanks. Liang Zhe commanded in an orderly manner. He led his troops to bypass Han Shizhong's military formation and positioned himself in front of the left wing. Forming a formation, it was obvious that they were preparing to clash with the Jin army first.

But from Han Shizhong's perspective, he felt that such soldiers could not compare with his own Zhenyuan Army.

In the first battle in Shenwu County, although I didn't know it before the battle started, during the fighting, Xia Army had their crown prince Li Renai on their side, and the offensive was relatively fierce at the beginning. Thinking about it now, Xia Jun who fought with Han Shizhong at that time was probably that kind of "elite".

So what, wouldn't you still be crushed and beaten by him?

But now, Liang Zhe obediently took out all his Xia Jun's songs and put them in the front row. It seemed generous, but it made Han Wu feel a strong sense of crisis.

Why is this kid so smart?

What are you grabbing?

"Messenger of the Jin Army, please see the commander-in-chief."

Wang Ahai looked calm, but when he walked up to Liu Ling, he couldn't help showing some complexity on his face.

The expression is probably like: A loser who was kicked by his ex finally became famous. When he wanted to flirt with his ex, he found that the other person was better than him.

When he was in Shuozhou before, Liu Ling often used food to rip off Wang Ahai and the Jin people, and took away a group of war horses and money. This time Wang Ahai came with the main force of the Jin army. At that time, he was looking forward to it Liu Ling's face.

However, because the Jin army pursued them all the way, from their perspective, Liu Ling gathered in his hands the Zhenyuan Army that was said to have returned from the Xingqing Mansion of Xia Kingdom, the elite Xia Army that appeared for unknown reasons, and the remnants of the Liao Army from Yelu Dashi.

The strength of the troops must have exceeded those around him, and their combat effectiveness was unpredictable.

Wanyan Loushi led the army in pursuit with almost no rest on the way. The entire Jin army was still able to fight, but Wanyan Loushi was not prepared to take this risk, so he could only let Wang Ahai come over to test it out first.

"I have met Mr. Liu."

"You should worship me." Liu Ling said lightly.

Wang Ahai immediately bowed down without hesitation.

If he can get the Liao soldiers over by kneeling down, then he is really unambiguous.

After Wang Ahai saluted, he said respectfully: "Our army is here to pursue the rebellion of the puppet Liao Dynasty. Liu Gong and many generals of our army are old acquaintances. Please show your respect and save your dignity by handing over the Liao general Yelu Dashi and the following officers." Give us the army.

Marshal Wanyan of our army asked his subordinates to say thank you very much to Mr. Liu. "

"I handed over so many soldiers to him?" Liu Ling raised the corner of his mouth. He leaned forward slightly and looked down at Wang Ahai who was worshiping in front of the war horse.

"Your Marshal Wanyan opened his mouth to ask for thousands of people from me, and then only said thank you?"

"As soon as our army gets the prisoners, we will evacuate here immediately."

"The maritime alliance between the Song and Jin Dynasties agreed that when they attacked Liao, whoever captured the land would belong to them. So, it is the same now. Whoever captures the prisoners belongs to whom, not to mention." Liu Ling raised his hand and pointed to the side. Yelu Dashi, whose face was ashen, said in a deep voice:

"Ask him who is his general now."

Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I obeyed the time of the day, abandoned the puppet Liao Dynasty, and surrendered to the Zhenyuan Army. I am now a general under Liu Gong, and I am also a Song Dynasty man!"

When Wang Ahai was lying on the ground, there were a lot of snowflakes piled on his body. When he stood up, the snowflakes scattered and fell, and his eyes became cold.

"Liu Gong, look at the water between heaven and earth. It turns into rain from the sky, wind into air, and cold into snow. It changes endlessly. It seems carefree and comfortable, but after all, it cannot escape the word "drifting with the flow", let alone drifting. What goes against nature.

Liu Gong, do you want to defy heaven? "

Without waiting for Liu Ling to answer, Wang Ahai stood alone surrounded by thousands of Zhenyuan Army soldiers, with no fear on his face, raised his finger and pointed at Liu Ling and shouted: "The sky in the north is the sky of Dajin!"

He raised his hand and pointed behind him again, threatening loudly, "My Marshal Wanyan defeated the puppet Liao Emperor's central army with three thousand cavalry, captured the puppet emperor, and beheaded the dragon. They are invincible. I don't know if the Zhenyuan Army's central army can compare with the puppet emperor's." Emperor Liao’s central army!”

As soon as Wang Ahai shouted, he felt that the eyes of everyone around him changed.

A Zhenyuan Army general rode his horse forward a few steps, then turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "Liu Gong, at the end of the day, please lead your troops. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

Beside him, more than a dozen Zhenyuan troops dismounted, and their voices calling for battle were louder and louder.

"The last general is asking for a battle! I am willing to issue a military order and fight against the traitors!"

"This man's words are speechless. I am willing to lift this beast's head and kill the golden army with my hands!"

Yelu Dashi and several of the surrounding Xia Army generals also lowered their heads and shouted for a fight.

The Ever Victorious Army had a very strong psychological shadow towards the Jin Army at the beginning, or it could be said that most of the Liao soldiers had similar fears.

But the Zhenyuan Army here had returned from an expedition to the desert with Liu Ling, and their spirits were already high.

Wang Ahai felt that he had fulfilled his mission, but he did not frighten the Zhenyuan army.

Liu Ling smiled, and a captain immediately walked up behind Wang Ahai and kicked his calf hard. Wang Ahai staggered and knelt on the ground, and then struggled to get up, but was held down by the captain. .

"The surname of Tian Tian in the North is Jin?"

Liu Ling did not get angry. He admired the expression on Wang Ahai's face and pointed around with a smile:

"But the Zhenyuan Army's surname is Liu."

Wang Ahai was startled for a moment, and then he saw Liu Ling sitting up straight on his horse, clenching his fists and raising his arms, and shouted:

"Beat the drums and line up the whole army!"

Several messenger cavalrymen immediately rushed out, the central military command flag began to wave, and the rumble of drums sounded.

"Liu Gong!" Wang Ahai shouted. Liu Ling rode past him and said with a smile, "You have to remember that if a war starts today, you will be the sinner of the Jin Kingdom."

"The Zhenyuan Army is beating the drums. Marshal Liu is really a little moody."

Wanyan Loushi said calmly. He waved his hand. Just as the deputy general next to him was about to give the order to fight, Wanyan Loushi added: "Send another envoy over and tell Liu Ling that as long as Yelu Dashi is alone, the rest of the Liao army will be defeated." Just give it to him."

"Handsome."

"go."

The second messenger went for a while and then came back with Wang Ahai.

"Commander, Liu Ling said, since those Liao soldiers have surrendered him, then for him, it is the same whether he surrenders one or a thousand. Moreover, he also said that Yelu Dashi is now a member of the Zhenyuan Army. General, so Liu Ling not only refused to give it, but also asked our troops to withdraw from here immediately, saying that this is his territory of the Song Dynasty."

"I understand."

Wanyan Loushi nodded slightly. The surrounding Jin generals clearly heard the messenger's report, and anger appeared on their faces. But before he could ask for a fight, Wanyan Loushi stretched out his hand again to signal them to be quiet.

"Then Liu Ling probably also knows that our army is in pursuit and may be quite exhausted and cannot bear to fight anymore." When Wanyan Loushi said this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"The Commander-in-Chief, Wanyan Zongwang, wrote to me earlier, saying that Liu Ling is a serious problem for me, Dai Jin. Now it seems that it is indeed true."

While Wanyan Lou's room was talking, two soldiers led a man in ragged clothes to the front. The man's hair was disheveled, and there was a large area of ​​sores on the left side of his face. The wounds had festered, and there were bruises around the edges, making him almost disfigured. He still limped when he walked.

Wanyan Loushi glanced at the man and smiled, "Can I still ride a horse and hold a sword?"

The man raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Don't you really want to live?"

Wanyan Loushi raised his hand and pointed at the army standing in the distance, and said gently: "I will give you your old army of more than two thousand victorious troops, and I will give you another thousand gold cavalry."

"Pharmacist Guo, if you lead these three thousand troops to break through Liu Ling's front line, I will personally report your merits and ask His Majesty the Emperor to grant you an official title."

Pharmacist Guo looked up at him, his face still expressionless, and he just nodded silently. On both sides, soldiers from Jin began to put on their armor for him.

Wanyan Loushi no longer looked at him, but looked around and shouted:

"Can my Dajin soldiers still be able to fight?"

Countless roars appeared in the Jin army's queue, which gathered into waves and continued to rise.

"He Liu Ling thought that we didn't dare to fight and thought that if we were tired, he would take the opportunity to grab a piece of meat from us. Tell him, it's impossible! Let all those who dare to resist Daikin take a good look at today and look at him. How were Liu Ling and the Zhenyuan Army suppressed to death by our army!"

Wanyan Loushi put on his hood and visor, and a dull voice came from behind the visor:

"war!"

The Jin army began to form a large-scale formation. Listening to the sound of the Jin army's war drums, Medical Master Guo pressed the cold visor to his face, seemingly unable to feel the severe pain of the wound.

Around him were the victorious troops regrouping into formation.

At first, he led more than 4,000 victorious troops north to find the Liao Emperor, but the Liao Emperor did not trust him very much. After several months of fighting, although Guo Yaoshi tried his best to preserve his troops, he still suffered heavy casualties.

Why didn't he take all the more than 20,000 victorious troops to fight against the Jin people at that time?

At that time, although most people in the army were unwilling to pay money, the atmosphere of war weariness and negativity was getting heavier and heavier. What's more, the army was short of food and Yanjing was lost in the rear. Guo Pharmacist could only lead more than 4,000 people northward, or find Emperor Liao either encountered the Jin army and made a last-ditch effort.

But not long ago, when the Liao army and the Xia army went to war, the Jin people suddenly mobilized their elite cavalry to attack over a long distance. The Liao emperor was caught off guard and could only use the Chinese army to meet the enemy, and eventually the entire army was annihilated.

Yelu Dashi escaped, but Guo Yaoshi was caught. The Jin Army cavalry dragged him behind the horse and ran for half a mile. He was covered with wounds, but he could still survive. Wanyan Loushi felt it was strange, so he killed him. He takes it with him.

The victorious army around him had followed him all the way here, and they were considered the most loyal to him. A cavalryman rode up to him carrying the broken banner of the victorious army, and said in a hoarse voice: "Commander .”

There are no more words.

Most of the victorious troops did not have armor, and the more than a thousand Jin cavalry at the rear were not so much holding down the formation as supervising the battle.

Medicine Master Guo wanted to live, and so did the more than two thousand soldiers around him, but he had led these brothers to a dead end.

He didn't know how to respond to the looks from the old troops of the Ever Victorious Army around him, so he silently rode his horse to the front army formation. Behind him, the Jin people specially sent a large banner with Guo characters for people to hold up.

Pharmacist Guo raised his head and slowly moved his eyes from the vast snowfield in front of him to the queue of the Zhenyuan Army. His eyes moved. He saw that in the front line of the Zhenyuan Army, a large banner with Liu characters was erected, as if as a sign. respond.

Pieces of snowflakes were swirling on the back of Guo Yaoshi's hand. He raised his hand to pick up one and suddenly smiled.

"It must have snowed in Yandi today too."

When the veterans around him heard this, their eyes immediately turned red.

Medical Master Guo untied his sword and threw it on the ground. The sword was immediately covered by the falling snowflakes.

"Send the order, march."

The military formation of the Ever Victorious Army was very scattered and chaotic. Many soldiers knew that they would die if they pushed forward any further, but there were Jin troops behind and around them supervising the battle.

Wanyan Loushi rode his horse back to the hillside to enjoy the scene from a distance.

Logically speaking, with Zhenyuan Army's tactics, they should have started firing arrows at this time to intimidate them, but they only saw their front army paused, waiting in formation, and a small group of cavalry galloping out of the front army.

Not seeing the river of blood, Wanyan Loushi frowned slightly.

Liang Zhe stopped his horse, and beside him, the Xia cavalry lined up. Chang Sheng's soldiers wanted to rush over, but soon, Medicine Master Guo personally rode out and signaled them to stop.

"The commander-in-chief will give you three sentences."

Liang Zhe clearly saw a commotion coming from the rear ranks of the Evervictorious Army. The Jin army supervising the battle realized something was wrong. They immediately started to kill from the rear of the Evervictorious Army. The rear column of the Evervictorious Army had completely collapsed.

"The Xia Kingdom has surrendered. Next, he can surrender the Xia Army and the remnants of the Liao Army to his heart's content."

Pharmacist Guo took off his visor. The cold visor had only been on for a while, but it was already stuck to his abscess. When he took it off, he tore open a piece of skin that had grown.

When Liang Zhe saw the miserable condition of this man, he paused and started to speak his second sentence.

"One of your concubines survived and gave birth to a son."

The wound on Guo Yaoshi's face trembled violently, and he showed an expression for the first time.

"The last sentence, the commander-in-chief said, I will never forgive you."

Pharmacist Guo laughed miserably and pointed at the person next to him.

"I have a few words to tell your commander-in-chief."

"The general will definitely tell you." Liang Zhe nodded slightly.

"The Jin people did not capture the Liao Emperor; the Jin army also suffered heavy casualties this time. They were in rebellion and lacked food. They were unable to fight anymore. And... bring these victorious troops home."

Liang Zhe's eyes flickered. He was also a general himself. He was silently analyzing the first two pieces of information told by Medical Master Guo. At this time, he started to kill some of the Jin Army's cavalry from behind. The flankers fought out.

Pharmacist Guo pulled out his saber from the waist of the soldier next to him, put it across his neck, and shouted at the Zhenyuan Army's front army formation, which was just around the corner: "Liu Ling, watch out!"

He wiped off the blade of the blade without hesitation. Liang Zhe frowned and dodged. A pool of steaming blood immediately splashed on the ground.

Only then did the soldiers of the Victory Army next to him react. Several soldiers around him hurriedly hugged Guo Yaoshi's body. The killing man, who was licking blood from his knife edge, couldn't help but burst into tears at this time.

Liang Zhe's face changed slightly, and he shouted at the Chang Sheng Army: "If you don't want to die, walk around our front army array. Anyone who dares to attack the front army now will be killed without mercy! The commander has an order, and it was always the case before." Brothers of the victorious army, those who surrender will not be killed!"

A military formation of hundreds of people in the front army of the Zhenyuan Army has begun to press forward. Because of fear, a large number of soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army were like headless flies. Fortunately, Liang Zhe ordered the cavalry to lead the way. Some people took the lead, and many of them bypassed the Zhenyuan Army. The front army formation fled towards the Zhenyuan Army, and many people followed behind.

The Jin army was chasing them closely at first. Wanyan Loushi gave the order, and a large number of Jin troops began to change direction and attack the Zhenyuan Army's military formation without hesitation.

At this moment, on the left wing of the Zhenyuan Army, Han Shizhong led 700 armored cavalry and crashed into the Jin's cavalry.
