Shunchang pre-war chapter
When it comes to cold, every Eight Character Army was a little trembling. Shunchang City was disrepair for so many years, and there was no talk of any city defense. It was a miracle that he could survive in the Huaihe area. When it comes to hot, Chen Gui of the prefect of Shunchang was a passionate man. He helped Liu Qi without reservation. In addition to sending people to build the city defense immediately, he gave an absolutely unexpected surprise: At this time, there were tens of thousands of hu of rice in Shunchang City! This is a good thing that could not be imagined in advance. At least it could support the consumption of the Eight Character Army for a long time...
The military situation was urgent, and the Jin army's vanguard troops were less than 00 miles away from Shunchang. Liu Qi not only had to prepare for offense and defense in the shortest time, but more importantly, he wanted to improve his morale and make every soldier have the will to win and die!
The solution is very simple! Liu Qi placed his family in a temple, and piled up firewood outside the courtyard wall. Then he gathered all the soldiers of the army and told them that they would win this battle. If the city was broken, please help me light the fire. My family is righteous and will never be a prisoner of the Jin people... The whole army was angry, and even the families of the female family members of the army helped sharpen their knives and feed their horses. They said: In the past, everyone looked down on my Eight Character Army. Today, please see my Eight Character Army defeating the thieves and making contributions to the country!
On the battlefield in Shaanxi, the crying man entered the army quickly and took Chang'an within a few days. This speed made the Southern Song Dynasty unable to react. To be honest, the speed of scouts and horses was not necessarily faster than Wanyan Sali's drunk!
At this time, nearly 50,000 Right Guards were scattered across Shaanxi. On the way to take office, the Sichuan Propaganda and Fu General Hu Shijiang was in Hechi Base Camp and wanted to convene a meeting with senior officials, but he couldn't find anyone: Guo Hao, the Yongxing Army Road Administrator, was in Yan'an Prefecture on Fuyan Road; Wang Yan, the Fuyan Road Administrator, was not yet in place; Fan Zong, the Huanqing Road Administrator, was in Jinzhou on Jingxi Road. Tian Sheng, the Jingyuan Road Administrator, and Yang Zheng, the Lizhou Road Administrator, (in Gongzhou on Xihe Road) were not in Hechi. Hu Shijiang was only Sun Wo, the Xihe Road Administrator, and Wu Lin, the Qinfeng Road Administrator.
Tian Sheng and Yang Zheng arrived at the first time to have a meeting! The central topic was: Do you still need Hechi Base Camp? The reason was that the Jin army marched too fast and the right guards were scattered. At this time, Hechi was very weak. Wanyan Sali would definitely aim here as the goal and focus on breaking through! Sun Wo suggested giving up Hechi and retreat to the Immortal Pass!
Wu Lin was so angry that he was dizzy. These dead scholars should have pulled out to cut off the "Cowardly Ju Army, but you can kill them." I remember that Wu Jie set Hechi as his base camp because it was dangerous in geography and took overall charge of the situation. The more dangerous it was, the more important it was here! Before a certain battle, Wu Jie was not here, so he came to the military parade, and even if he was almost caught by the Jin army, he didn't care. Hechi was so important that he actually gave up at this time. Where did he start?
Wu Lin guaranteed the lives of a hundred people in his family: the Wu family army will definitely defend Hechi! General Hu was overjoyed and pointed to his military tent and said, "General Yuan was swearing to die here."
On the 18th, Sun Wo was sent back to Xihe Road, and Tian Sheng led a thousand soldiers to the front line of Jingyuan Road to meet the enemy!
On the same day, Ma Li Bao, the Zhongyi army of Yue's army, led people to fight with the Jin army in Xingren Mansion on the east and west roads of Beijing, killing hundreds of people.
On the 18th, Liu Qi summoned all the generals in Shunchang City, showing that he would die with the intention of sinking a boat. He Qing was ordered to guard the east gate, He Hui was guarding the west gate, Zhong Yan was guarding the south gate, and Du Qi was guarding the north gate. Liu Qi also personally supervised the work and built the city defense fortifications. Shunchang City quickly turned into a temporary battle base. In six days, it can only be said that it was basically completed, and the Jin army vanguard had already reached the foot of Shunchang City.
On the 0th, Wang Yanxian, the garrison of Bozhou, surrendered to the Jin army, and Li Qiong was ordered to enter Bozhou.
On the day, Wu Lin was ordered by General Hu and led tens of Wu's army to set off from Hechi and headed to the bank of Weishui. Qinfeng Road, Baoji from Fengxiang Prefecture to meet the enemy. The other two Yang Zheng, the three generals in Shu, supported him.
On the 5th, the Jin army finally approached Baiwokou, 0 miles away from Shunchang City. The leader was Liu Qi's old friend Han Chang. Yes! It was the fierce general who was shot blinded by Liu Qi in the Battle of Fuping and could drag Wanyan Zongbi out of the siege! There was no information to show that Han Chang knew that Liu Qi was in Shunchang City. He used common sense to relieve the fatigue of long-distance marching before siege, and planned to make some adjustments at Baiwokou...
Something happened later! Is it only 0 miles? Liu Qi sent 1,000 people to raid the Jin camp that night. Han Chang was surprised that the camp of more than 10,000 people was broken and forced to retreat overnight. After winning the first battle, the Jin army vanguard was defeated before he saw Shunchang City...
On the 6th, Liu Guangshi was re-appointed as the Three Capitals' Responsibility Envoy, leading Li Gui and Bu Liang two troops to support Liu Qi. He gave him 00,000 yuan in money and 10,000 pieces of silver and silk as military expenses, and ordered Li Xianzhong to go to the war with him.
On the 7th, Wu Lin was ordered to control the troops and horses of Shaanxi. Yang Zheng came to cooperate with Wu Lin to fight the enemy despite his mother's funeral. On the 8th, the partial division of the Jin army that attacked Yaozhou on Fuyan Road was repelled by Guo Hao. Wanyan Sali led the main force to attack Shibizhai in Fengxiang Prefecture. The commander Yao Zhong, under the order of Wu Lin, personally went to supervise the battle and killed the Jin army. Zhuhebeile was seriously injured and retreated to Wugong County in Jingzhao Prefecture.
On the 9th, the Jin army's support troops came up. The leading figures were famous. One was Jin Shizong, who was known as "Little Yao and Shun" in the future. At this time, the three generals of Wanyan Bao; the other was known as "The King of Dragons and Tigers". Who was he? The history of the Song Dynasty, and the specific name could not be found in the history of the Jin Dynasty, but it appeared frequently. This person was from the same era as Wanyan Zonghan, and was very active during the destruction of Liao and defeating the Song Dynasty. Later, according to multiple research, this person was probably called Wanyan Tusuhe.
The Dragon and Tiger King was extraordinary, much stronger than Han Chang. The two combined troops to more than 10,000. Recalling: The Jin army that broke Kaifeng was only more than 50,000. If there were any flaws in the Rapid Rapid, it was a speeding hundreds of miles away, without heavy siege equipment at hand, and after approaching the city wall, the Jin army was like rain, suppressing it first and then climbing the wall. Then he was very depressed. He forgot that it was the Southern Song Dynasty, not the Northern Song Dynasty!
When the Kaifeng was broken, all the standard weapons of the Song army, including the Divine Arm Bow, cut corners and had no performance at all. At this time, the Jin army should have known the consequences as early as the monk's original time!
The Jin army lost a lot when they retreated, thinking of a safe distance and regrouped, things worsened at this time and couldn't be dealt with! More than 10,000 Jin soldiers did not expect that the Song army in Shunchang City dared to rush out of the city and fight with them outside the city! The infantrymen left the city, with a number of within 5,000...
This number is the limit. From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Shunchang, the number of soldiers in the Song army fought never exceeded 5,000. As for why? This is a secret... 5,000 to 30,000, infantry attacked the cavalry. Liu Qi was crazy? The enemy did not hurt the movement, but just retreated slightly. Is this a fighter? The facts were stunned. The Jin cavalry was killed by thousands of people, and the entire army retreated again, retreating to Guaili Village, 0 miles east of Shunchang City, on the banks of the Yingshui River, and at the same time he asked Wanyan Zongbi for emergency...
At the beginning of the war, the Song army won a great victory, which made both the enemy and us a little confused. For example, Wanyan Tushe, Han Chang and others retreated day and night, getting farther and farther away from Shunchang. Are they still considered the attacking party? Or are they still Jurchen cavalry? Looking back on the past history of war, the Jin army attacked like fire, and only others fled to the mountains and seas. When did they get so embarrassed? So there is definitely something wrong with this matter in front of you, and something must have happened!
This idea came into the minds of every Jurchen. The strongest one was the marshal of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongbi. The fourth prince jumped violently after receiving the war report. He wanted to appear in Shunchang City immediately, kill the Song people, Liu Qi, and Wanyan Tu quickly, Han Chang! Wanyan Chang is a scum among the Jurchens and must be killed. A low-powered person like the "Dragon and Tiger King" cannot be kept, which is really embarrassing!
With this feeling, he led 100,000 heavy troops and countless supplies to run to Shunchang City! It was very far from Kaifeng to Shunchang? This person arrived in just 6 days!
On June 1, Zhao Gou urgently appointed Han Shizhong as Taibao and Duke of England; Zhang Jun as Shaoshi and Duke of Jiguo; Yue Fei as Shaobao and was also the recruitment envoy of the northern and southern routes of Henan and the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty also issued an emergency declaration to all the routes in the world (mainly Henan and Shaanxi) to criticize Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Sali.
Shunchang City has been besieged for 4 days. On the evening of the 5th, heavy rain was pouring, and lightning was thunder. Liu Qi sent a powerful general Lu Chong to lead 500 soldiers to rob the camp. The Jin camp in Guaili Village was killed and chasing each other, and a chaos...
But in fact, no one except Liu Qi himself knew: at this moment, the order of the Supreme Leader of the Southern Song Dynasty had quietly arrived.
In Zhao Gou and Qin Hui's heart, no matter how brilliant the beginning of the Battle of Shunchang was, there was only one result, that is, the entire Eight Character Army was wiped out. Instead of this, why stop it when it is better? The document written by Prime Minister Qin, covering Zhao Gou's jade seal reads: "Liu Qi chose a team to choose a good opportunity to preserve his strength and withdraw! At the same time, they also added Liu Qi to the post of the Dingzhou Observatory, the Deputy Chief of the Privy Council, and the commander of the Huai River.
It can be seen from this that Lin'an is also very diligent in work. It is so difficult for them to issue such orders quickly and accurately in a messy situation, and in this war, it is not easy for them to issue such orders at various critical moments!
Unfortunately, Liu Qi didn't listen! The Eight Character Army was stationed firmly in Shunchang City, waiting for the visit of the Jin army's Marshal and the Fourth Prince of the Great Jin...
Wanyan Zongbi's army was halfway through and suddenly encountered the enemy situation? Dozens of Song cavalry rushed towards the fourth prince. Maybe it was too fast, and the general in the leader fell off the horse! Jin Wushu was stunned. After approaching, he realized that this man was named Cao Cheng and was here to "surrender". According to Cao Cheng, Liu Qi was a young man from the general of the border during the peaceful years. He was proficient in eating, drinking and enjoying everything, and the relationship in the court was strong. This time he was sent to Kaifeng to serve as a senior official to enjoy his happiness. But who knew that he suddenly became nervous in Shunchang! He was crazy, but no one was willing to die with him. In the past few days, the army was almost distracted. I ran slowly and felt that the prospect of surrendering directly was better. I would like to be the guide and staff of the Jin army...
Jin Wushu was full of passion and laughed. This is the army of the Song Dynasty, this is Liu Qi! This is logical, and it is consistent with the image of the Han people he recognized!
On the 6th, General Hu received an edict from Zhao Gou, ordering him to lead his soldiers to protect the pass. Those who could establish great achievements were not stingy even if they had the title of kings and lords. General Hu then transferred the edict from General Zhao Gou to Wu Lin, Yang Zheng, Guo Hao, Tian Sheng and others to the generals. Later, Wu Lin and Yang Zheng jointly wrote a letter to the chief general of the Jin army, Wanyan Sali, and made an appointment to fight. Sali was sent to Gu Yanlang, the king of the Jin army, and was defeated by Wu Lin. Gu Yanlang Jun retreated to Fufeng County to defend. Li Shiyan took advantage of the victory to pursue Fufeng County and captured the Jurchen leader and 117 soldiers alive. Wu Lin sent a side general to attack the Jin army camp west of Fengxiang Prefecture. Wanyan Sali was defeated. In a rage, he personally led his army to Baitongfang to fight with the Song general Yao Zhong, and lost again. Since then, he took the aura and retreated to Fengxiang Prefecture. He dared not to peek at Shu anymore, but just looked for a gap in Shaanxi.
On the 8th, Wanyan Zongbi's army joined forces with the vanguard troops of Dragon and Tiger King, Han Chang and others. The Jin army joint camp was located on the north bank of Yingshui. "Connect Xiazhai, with people and horses blocking the wilderness, camels, cattle and horses mixed, felt chariots and Xi chariots were also hundreds. The siege war equipment came from Chenzhou, and the grain equipment came from Caihe." From a distance, the camp was more than 0 miles! How spectacular, majestic, grand, majestic, well-equipped... Lianzhu Village! It was more than 0 miles, or Lianzhu Village, and Jin Wushu's habits remained unchanged for thousands of years. At this time, he stood in his beloved Lianzhu Village, and scolded the Dragon and Tiger King and others!
Jin Wushu used a fierce way to educate his subordinates on the glorious national war history, reviewing and looking forward to despising them, making his subordinates both ashamed and shocked, and the effect is not bad...
Looking back on history, it is nothing more than the Battle of Fuping, the Battle of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Battle of Crossing the River, etc. Jin Wushu actively participated in every time, and every time it was embarrassing. Is it very brilliant?
Especially in the face of Liu Qi, Jin Wushu led half of the Jin army's troops in the Battle of Fuping, and was completely defeated by Liu Qi with one fifth of the troops in the western army. Han Chang rescued him at the cost of bloody eyes. His Highness the Fourth Crown Prince may have forgotten about this, but Han Chang swears with every inconvenience in daily life: That's true!
The fourth prince ignored it, and he said proudly, "Why dare Liu Qi fight with me? Use my strength to destroy the city and kick it down with his boots." Then he ordered the city to be attacked the next day, and it would be attacked on the same day! Have lunch in the prefect's ruling office in Shunchang City. Also: you don't need to bring heavy siege equipment, it's troublesome to drag it out, there is no need to do it at all!
That night, Liu Qi sent Geng Xun to Jin Camp to write a letter of war, "The Grand Marshal not only asked for a fight, but also said that the Fourth Prince would not dare to cross the river. I can offer five floating bridges and send your army to cross the south, and then take the battle." Wanyan Zongbi was furious and jumped up, "Do I fear Liu Qi? Go back and tell him: The decisive battle tomorrow! Don't make a mistake."
That night, Liu Qi sent someone to secretly pour poison on the Ying River and warned the entire army: Go to war tomorrow. Even if our soldiers died of thirst, they would not drink the water in the river!
