Chapter 142 Jinan Fenghuo
Just as Song Qing led his fleet overseas, something unexpected and unexpected happened between Song Qing and him in the Central Plains.
Jin sent troops.
However, this dispatch of troops is very different from the historical invasion of the Central Plains. The difference is that the Jin Bing did not invade any city in the Central Plains, but directly killed Jinan.
Song Qing expected that Jin Bing would come, but he did not expect that he would come by himself, let alone that Jin Bing would go south this time, completely with the acquiescence of the imperial court, following the route he took to take back the horse.
Jin Bing took Wanyan Zonggan as the commander and Wanyan Baokang as the vanguard. He led 100,000 soldiers, entered from Bazhou and went straight to Jinan Prefecture.
The old emperor, Zhao Huan and others did not understand why the emperor of the State of Jin hated Song Qing so much. They actually sent a letter to the Song court to send troops to eliminate the Liangshan bandits. If the Song court did not agree, it would fight in.
The old emperor both dreamed of destroying Liang Shan and Song Qing, but how could they not agree? However, Wang Shiyong was negotiating in Dengzhou at this time, and it was difficult to blatantly support the action of the State of Jin, so he secretly ordered the border generals to give way to Jin Bing.
The old emperor had a problem with their heads, which did not mean that the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty had been kicked by the donkey.
The reaction of Li Gang, the right servant of the Ministry of War, was particularly fierce. What's the difference between your majesty's move and attracting the wolf into the room?
Although Li Gang's words also aroused the approval of some courtiers, there are only a few people standing on his side. Everyone can see that the old emperor is determined to destroy Liangshan. Isn't it uncomfortable to play against the old emperor at this time?
The more the old emperor looked at Li Gang, the more unpleasant he became, and almost coaxed him out of the Golden Hall. But it's not over yet.
After Li Gang came out of the hall, he looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time. Liang Shan's thief could not beat the scab. If the imperial court slowed down at that time, he would definitely be able to destroy it. And the State of Jin is the confidant of the imperial court. After this move, the Central Plains may no longer have peace.
These words were vibly transmitted to the old emperor's ears.
The old emperor was extremely angry. Is that okay? Isn't this old guy scolding me for being a fool? A paper order put Li Gangbian out of the capital and went to Hebei to serve.
Through this incident, Liangshan's spy system showed the highest efficiency. Before Jin Bing entered the customs and was even gathering, the Jinan government got the news. Because the news came from Qin Yong, the ultimate undercover agent beside the old emperor.
Song Qing's whereabouts are top secret, and only a few people know that he has not returned from sea.
Now Jin Bing is finally coming according to Song Qing's previous vision, and Liang Shan's generals can be said to have joys and sorrows.
Jinan Prefecture is well prepared and not afraid of the attack of gold soldiers, but Song Qing is not there, and there is no master after all. Moreover, if the golden soldiers bypass the heavily guarded Jinan government and attacked other state capitals, it would be a real disaster.
Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Lin Chong and Cao Zheng had to temporarily form an emergency command team to be fully responsible for the fight against the golden soldiers.
According to the previous assumption, the whole Jinan government moved.
First of all, Jianbi Qingye, who transferred all the people of all villages and counties near Hebei East Road to the rear of Jinan Prefecture, and set up roadblocks along the way to affect the speed of the war horses.
Secondly, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and other troops waiting for Song Qing in Dengzhou will be urgently recruited back to enrich the team of generals in Jinan Prefecture.
The third is to set up the first line of defense in Jishui, 30 miles outside Jinan City. Hide the sailors' ships for assaulting the golden soldiers to cross the river.
Jinan Prefecture began to mobilize the whole city to inform the people of the brutality of Jin Bing, hoping that the people can work together to protect their homes.
The last thing to do is Song Qing's common tricks and propaganda war. Spread the fact that the imperial court colluded with the golden soldiers and betrayed the people to the world.
In fact, in the hearts of these belligerent Liangshan heroes, they are not afraid of the golden soldiers at all. What they have done is only been carried out in accordance with Song Qing's prior arrangements.
It is no exaggeration to say that although Song Qing did not expect Jin Bing to appear in this form, he had already predicted the enemy first, so before the war, Jin Bing had been defeated.
Wanyan Baokang was in a good spirit at this time. Although he was punished by the emperor for Wanyan Keer's matter, he also gave him a chance to make a crime.
His resentment against Song Qing has not been for a day or two. For a while, he dreamed of how to kill Song Qing. In fact, up to now, he is not very sure that the emperor's sending troops is related to Wanyan Keer. If it's true, it's too noisy, isn't it?
But anyway, he can finally get rid of his shame.
Although Wanyan Baokang's vanguard camp was only 5,000, the cavalry and the Song army along the way made way, so they marched very quickly. Soon, he crossed the boundary between Hebei East Road and Jinan Prefecture and entered the boundary of Jinan Prefecture.
There was a Song man as a guide beside Wanyan Baokang, and Jin Bing marched so fast without his credit.
"Major General, there is a big village in the forest in front of us. Let's go there and have a rest!"
Is there a village of Song people?
Wan Baokang's eyes lit up. When he came out, his uncle Wanyan Zonggan had strictly ordered him not to disturb the people of the Song Dynasty along the way.
For this reason, the soldiers around him who enjoy washing and plunder complained a lot about him. Under the strict order, he has no choice but to do it, but now he is different. He has entered Liangshan's territory and let his brothers eat meat. His uncle can't blame himself, can he?
Thinking of this, Wanyan Baokang suddenly raised his whip and shouted, "Brothers, let's go to the grass valley!"
These wolf-like golden soldiers still didn't understand the meaning of the vanguard officers and roared forward one after another, for fear that the beautiful women and gold and silver treasures would be robbed for too late.
Wanyan Baokang, as a general, of course, can't be the same as his subordinates, and even if there is a good one, his men will give it to him first. So at the end, when he walked through the woods, except for the hundreds of guards beside him, most of the 5,000 people had already burst into the village and began to search door-to-door.
The village is indeed very large, but when nearly 5,000 people flooded in, it seemed to be crowded. But who would care about these locust-like soldiers?
To Wanyan Baokang's surprise, there was no sound of crying father and mother in the village. Except for the shouting of his soldiers, there was no other sound at all.
It turns out that the village is empty? Wanyan Baokang couldn't help scolding these Song people for running faster than rabbits. He was about to turn his head and ask the Song guide if there were any villages and towns nearby.
The afterglow flashed, and suddenly it seemed that a black line flew over.
Although Wanyan Baokang did not go to the battlefield for a long time, he reacted very quickly. The first thought in his heart was that someone would shoot cold arrows. There was no time to think about it. A pedal hid on the side of the horse's back.
However, his dodge seems to be a little extra, because the cold arrow did not shoot at him at all.
He heard a "plop" sound, and the Song guide took off the horse without even saying a word. There is a sharp arrow in his throat that is still trembling.
It's not good, there is an ambush.
Before Wanyan Baokang waited for his men to be on alert, he heard a gunshot, and then countless rockets flew into the village in all directions.
It is obvious that flammable objects have been prepared in the village. Immediately after the rocket fell, a raging fire ignited.
At this time, the village was still full of golden soldiers who were turning over boxes and cabinets. Together with the fire, they suddenly panicked and began to squeeze out regardless.
Nearly 5,000 people, plus the houses that have been on fire in the village, how much space is there for them to pass through? With the spread of the fire, people crowded and trampled on people for a while.
And Wanyan Baokang finally heard the long-lost cry of his father and mother, but this time it was from his own mouth.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Wanyan Baokang was about to cry, 5,000 people! The whole army was destroyed without even seeing the shadow of others. How can I explain it to my uncle when I go back?
Some soldiers saw that the situation was not good, so they came over and pulled Wanyan Baokang's horse and ran away.
It's easy to come, but difficult to go back.
As soon as the guard pulled Wanyan Baokang, who had lost his soul, turned his horse's head, he saw a little general behind him step down the white dragon horse, dressed in white and holding a tiger-headed iron gun.
It's the young general who is favored.
Of course, he was not the only one ambushed here, but when he saw that the general with the army seemed to run, Gao Chong was eager to make contributions and jumped out first.
Wan Baokang's guards and soldiers suddenly despised him when they saw that he was young and single-handed. But they also know that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Suddenly, two horses rushed out and killed the high pet standing in the middle of the road.
I only saw that the high pet did not retreat and move forward, and his legs lightly beat the horse's abdomen. In the morning and evening, people and horses have long been connected with each other. The front hoof of the white dragon horse suddenly raised, the back hoof was strong, and the whole horse rose like flying.
The high pet was in mid-air, and the long gun in his hand was stabbed left and right like a poisonous snake, and the two golden soldiers who rushed over were taken off the horse in the blink of an eye.
Gao Chong couldn't help moaning and said, "Do you dare to come to Liangshan to be wild in these two? The thief on the opposite side, get off the horse and be bound to save your death"
At this time, Wanyan Baokang has woken up, and his strong desire to survive has no time to let him take care of the other party's superb martial arts skills, shouting "rush" and then rushing to Gao Chong first.
It's not how bold he is, but his attempt to submerge the favor with the advantage of many people.
Who knows that the high-favored person is bold and not scared by the other party at all. Instead, he urged the horse to wave an iron gun to meet him.
Wan Baokang knew what a master was this time, and saw the young general rushing into his army, sweeping, picking and stabbing. An iron gun made the wind and rain impenetrable, like a soul messenger. None of his guards could stop him. In a blink of an eye, he put it down.
Wanyan Baokang wants to run, but he must be able to run. Because Gao Chong has already targeted him. Wanyan Baokang couldn't leave, and his own soldiers dared not run. If they left Wanyan Baokang, they would also die when they went back, so they surrounded them again to save Wanyan Baokang.
At this time, Gao Chong's reinforcements also arrived.
After Wu Yong and others studied, they divided 5,000 cavalry into five teams and dispersed them. Their main task is to continuously harass the golden soldiers and destroy their food channels, so that they cannot attack at ease.
The general leading the army along the way was Xu Ning, and the strategy of burning the village was also his idea, but he did not expect that the results of this battle would be so great.
Seeing that Gao Chong had already fought with the golden soldiers, he was afraid that he would lose his favor and immediately brought soldiers to help. He can say that it is the right time. If it is later, Wanyan Baokang will die under the gun of Gao Chong.
