Chapter 497 Chasing the Golden Man
The two emperors each rode a black war horse and followed the Han army to move out of the city to encircle the Jin soldiers.
The Jin soldiers began to flee north, and the Han army wanted to block it south of the Yellow River.
Yao Youzhong, Zhang Shuye and other Song generals who were trusted by the Han army princes took over Kaifeng City and reorganized their defenses.
Because of the victory, the morale of the Song army and the Baojia militia increased greatly, and they had the confidence to fight against the Jin soldiers. Moreover, without the emperor and a group of ministers, Yao Youzhong, Zhang Shuye and others performed even better.
"Where are the two majesties?"
"The heavenly soldiers and generals took His Majesty out of the city to pursue the Jin soldiers."
"Two Your Majesties, how could they fight..."
A group of Song ministers looked at each other. His two emperors, calligraphy and painting are okay. When will they be able to fight against the Jin soldiers?
"It's a bit strange that the Jin soldiers flew north. Last year, the Jin soldiers attacked Taiyuan and besieged for nine months. Their troops would not leave so easily when they arrived at Bianjing."
Uncle Zhang led his soldiers and civilians to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, and most of the outer city of Kaifeng City was burned.
A black war eagle hovered in the air, tracking the marching route of the Jin soldiers.
Wanyan Zongwang saw the hovering war eagle: "That eagle is peeping at our whereabouts. The soldiers are divided into two groups and gathered in Huazhou. Each group of soldiers is divided into two groups to confuse the war eagle. He ordered the soldiers who stayed in Guanzhong to retreat to Taiyuan."
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan each led a portion of their troops and advanced together.
The simple mind of the War Eagle could not distinguish the tactics of the Jin soldiers, so she returned.
"The Jin soldiers seemed to have divided their troops, and a war eagle could not pursue it."
Joan of Arc took over Mulan's position and stroked the soft wings of the War Eagle.
"Send two or three war eagles to track them at the same time, and we are divided into two groups. But be careful." Chu Tian opened a rough map in his hand: "It is very likely that the Jin soldiers will cross the Yellow River from Li Gudu in Huazhou, escape to Hebei, and then head north along the way. Another possible route is to escape north through Puyang and Daming Prefecture."
Mingguan held a tall horse, holding a double hook gun that was 12 feet long. Mingguan, who was 1.9 meters tall, was one of the most powerful players among the players.
Mingguan said: "The north of Li Gudu is Liyang and Xiangzhou. There may be a Song army in the area where there are many Jin soldiers. Zong Ze should be in Puyang at this time, while Zhao Gou is in Daming Prefecture. The Jin soldiers are going to Huazhou and the possibility of going to Xiangzhou is the greatest. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Jin soldiers will split into two groups. Zong Ze and Zhao Gou want to block the strengthened Jin soldiers, and the possibility is almost zero."
Lao Qin came over and said, "We divided our troops into two groups, chasing Wanyan Zongwang and chasing Wanyan Zonghan."
The princes of the Han Empire quickly pieced together and advanced into two groups, chasing and killing two groups of Jin soldiers. One of them was the main force of Chu Tian, Huo'an, Tongque, Sun Jian, Hu Ma, Mu Ke, Xu Fengnian, etc., and the other was the main force of Lao Qin, Mingguan, Tang, Zhao Long, Liu Bei, Tian Qi, Wang Defa.
Instead of bringing the Song army, they left the Song army to defend Kaifeng to prevent the Jin cavalry from making a big detour and then conquering Kaifeng. In Guanzhong, there were two terrifying Jin commanders, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Loushi's troops, blocking the Song Dynasty's Western Army.
However, in the face of the Han army's pursuit, it was extremely difficult for the Jin cavalry to turn back to attack Kaifeng.
The Jin soldiers pursued by Chu Tian was Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Army, while the Jin soldiers pursued by Lao Qin and Mingguan were Wanyan Zonghan's Western Army.
"How should we divide the two Song emperors?"
"Take one along the way, maybe they will be the emperor and will personally lead the army and will have special bonuses."
Chu Tian was going to leave Song Huizong, while Lao Qin and his friends kidnapped Song Qinzong and took two emperors to chase Jin soldiers.
Song Huizong had a great origin, and he created thin gold styles, and was well-versed in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He valued Cai Jing and Tong Guan. In the last few years of his rule, the Song Jiang Uprising broke out and the Fang La Uprising went south. After being seriously ill, the Jin soldiers had to pass the throne to Song Qinzong. At this time, Song Huizong's health improved, but he forced himself to lead the army to fight. After some bumps, he vomited and diarrhea, and lost the demeanor of a talented emperor.
Song Huizong was similar to Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Both were good at art, but neither was the material to be an emperor.
"Sun Wentai, is it easy to fight in Hefei?"
Chu Tian talked with other princes while pursuing the Jin soldiers.
Sun Jian was assigned to his team, and Chu Tian mentioned the battle in Hefei to him.
Sun Jian met the defending general Zhang Liao, as well as the Yang family generals and Li Guang who supported Hefei, in the battle of Hefei. He suffered a bad loss. He heard Chu Tian take the initiative to mention the battle of Hefei, and his face was not good.
Chu Tianzhen doesn’t open the pot and pick up the pot.
"This person should be Sun Bofu. It turns out that since ancient times, he has been a young man. He should be like Sun Bofu in his child."
Chu Tian sighed.
If his son grew up and had the attributes of Sun Ce, Chu Tian would be quite satisfied.
As a little overlord in Jiangdong, Sun Ce was at least comparable to Taishi Ci after his military power reached its peak, and his ability to command troops and horses should be stronger than Taishi Ci.
When Sun Jian saw Chu Tian staring at his son Sun Ce, why did he feel that Chu Tian had bad intentions and wanted to abduct his son?
"Chu Zimao, the revenge of Hefei, will be avenged in the future."
Sun Jian was also a prince who would not easily admit defeat. Seeing that Chu Tian intended to provoke the topic of the battle in Hefei, he refuted it.
When the young Sun Ce looked at Chu Tian, he was full of fighting spirit.
In Sun Ce's view, if he wants to surpass his father Sun Jian, he must defeat the enemy that made Sun Jian frustrated to prove his bravery.
"Chu Zimou, do you want to win over my righteous brother?"
The bronze bird was not very relieved about Chu Tian either.
To be honest, he is not very willing to work with Chu Tian’s team, after all, the two of them fought a battle in Hefei not long ago.
Although the main consumption was the troops brought by Sun Jian from Changsha, Tongque also sent a team of reinforcements, and he was unable to take Hefei, and Jiangdong was always threatened.
"Ahem, nothing is there..."
Of course, Chu Tian had thought about digging the corner of the copper bird and pulling Sun Jian into his own camp.
After being discovered by the bronze bird, Chu Tian gave up his thoughts.
"I will definitely not betray Yi brother, even if I die, I will never regret it."
Sun Jian and Tongque seem to have a good relationship.
Chu Tian also has a good relationship with a group of local military generals, but it is Mi Fang...
"Are the Mongolian cavalry north of the Tianshan Mountains anxious about the offensive of Tianshan Mountain?"
Chu Tian was disappointed when he was at Sun Jian, so he turned to Huo'an to ask about the Western Regions.
It seems that the Western Regions and the Central Plains are separated by thousands of miles, but in fact it is not unrelated. First of all, the Western Regions are also the sphere of influence in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and an inch of land must be fought for. Secondly, the Western Regions are occupied by Mongolian cavalry, and the entire East Asia will be surrounded by the Mongol Empire. Liaodong, southern Mo, Liangzhou, and the Western Regions will be threatened by Mongolian cavalry. Mongolian cavalry can attack from four directions, or concentrate superior forces and defeat them one by one.
The existence of Huo'an is very important. If another person is replaced to defend the Western Regions, then the Mongolian cavalry is likely to have captured the Western Regions. Huo Qubing, the general possessed by Huo'an, can confront the Mongolian cavalry to be in a stalemate.
"The Mongol Empire had about two million people migrated to the Tianshan area, and they refused to leave. They secretly colluded with the Western Regions countries, hoping to make the Western Regions betray me. I have ordered the chief clerk Wang Xuance to kill the kings of the Western Regions countries who had ulterior motives. How could the Mongolian cavalry intervene in the Western Regions that I have been in charge for many years?"
Judging from Huoan's answer, the Mongol Empire was infiltration into the Western Regions and wanted to conquer the Western Regions and Central Asia.
Huo An dared to declare war on Central Asia, so he naturally had his confidence. He integrated the 36 countries in the Western Regions with a population of tens of millions. The population of the Mongol Empire migrated to the north of the Tianshan Mountains was only 2 million.
In the era of cold weapons, population can determine many things, so based on paper data, Huoan has no reason to be afraid of Mongolian cavalry.
Mu Ke, the lord from the Southern Barbarians, slandered the Taiwan: "Don't listen to him bragging. He fought with the Mongol Empire's Subutai and Mu Huali to the north of the Tianshan Mountains and was almost defeated. If it weren't for Huo Qubing, Chen Tang and others' hard support, the Mongol Empire would have its own epic battle, and perhaps the north of the Tianshan Mountains had completely occupied the Mongolian cavalry."
Huo An said anxiously: "Ke Ke..."
Mu Ke was still blunt and did not give Huo An any face: "Let everyone know the situation in the Western Regions is more beneficial to the Han Empire. Now is not the time to show off heroism. Is our Han Empire's advantage over the West collectivism?"
Huo An shrugged helplessly: "The Mongol Empire captured a group of Western craftsmen and Western Asian craftsmen in the last national war. You should know that ancient Arabs, Persia, and the West also had considerable engineering achievements. For example, the Arab counterweight catapults and Genoa crossbows... I don't know what technology the Mongol Empire mastered from it. Moreover, the Mongol Empire's mobilization rate was very high, so I still suffered a little loss."
Chu Tian and his group had a low expression.
The Mongolian Empire could draw out a qualified soldier or even eight people to launch a soldier. The Mongolian tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains could form a cavalry army of 200,000 people, which sounded horrifying.
But this is the real situation. The Mongolian Empire conquered vast land with a small population.
When the Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom were at its peak, the population of the headquarters was actually very sparse.
There is no way for a farming civilization to do ten people to send out one soldier.
During the Warring States Period, hundreds of thousands of troops did not have a strict separation of soldiers and peasants. Only when the old, young and young were transported by grain could it be that scale.
By the end of the Han Dynasty, the scale of the war was rarely more than 100,000.
Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns and mobilized more than 100,000 cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of infantry were used in the rear. The farmers transported food and grass. It can be imagined that for agricultural civilization, the cost of war was extremely high.
If we follow the calculation method of the Warring States Period, Emperor Wu of Han sent at least 600,000 troops in the Battle of Mobei in the Battle of Emperor Wu of Han to attack the Huns. The actual professional soldiers were Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Some of the Western Territory of Huo'an were nomadic civilizations, but also agricultural civilizations. The oasis of the Western Regions, the Yili River Valley, and the Dayuan Kingdom, are suitable for growing grain.
Facing the pure nomadic tribe, Huoan still struggled.
Especially in the Western Regions, there is almost no danger.
"If the Western Regions are really in a hurry, the Han Empire can stop the war, open up the teleportation arrays in the Western Regions and the southern desert, attack the Mongolian Empire, and incorporate the northern desert into the territory."
Chu Tian proposed that in an emergency, all the princes join forces to recover Mobei.
"Let's talk about it then, the Western Regions will not be so easily annexed by the Mongol Empire."
Huo'an's eyes were firm.
A group of princes marched northward, and Wanyan Zongwang, whom they were pursuing, was deploying on the way.
"Wu Shu, you lead Tiefutu to Ligudu to collect ships and cross the river."
"Wanyan Chang, you lead the Xi Liulu Army and the surrendered Song army to cut off the rear."
Wanyan Zongwang sent Jin Wushu to the north, and deputy general Wanyan Chang cut off the rear, and tried to lead the Han army to Li Gudu, Huazhou, and encircled and annihilated the Han army with Wanyan Zonghan.
At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang collected ships and planned to retreat north of the Yellow River.
On the other hand, the Han army princes such as the old Qin Dynasty pursued the Jin army's Western Route Army.
Jin Wushu brought 6,000 Iron Futus south this time (it was originally 3,000, the number doubled), and hundreds of cavalry were killed in Kaifeng City. Jin Wushu handed over two,000 Iron Futus to Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Route Army, with only more than 3,000 Iron Futus around him.
After system bonus, Tiefutu has various attributes that are almost the same as the ninth-level Xuan Armored Cavalry added by Chu Tian, and are even stronger.
This is the most terrifying group of troops of the Jin army.
"Yin Shuke, you lead the main force northward. I personally lead two thousand iron pagodas and five thousand crooked horses to ambush in this woods. After all the enemies pass by, you will come out of the woods and attack the enemy's formation. You will return to fight and defeat the enemy."
Wanyan Zonghan handed over the large army of the Western Route Army to Wanyan Yinshuke and carried out an ambush.
Wanyan Yinshuke said: "If there are strategists among the enemy, it is easy to see through the ambush."
