The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Zong Han was dizzy. What was going on? Is this the Hezhong Army or the Yuanzhou Army? The charge tactics of the two armies, so that their weapons and equipment are the same. His iron futu was simply under the long cavalry rifle.

There is no power to fight back, and from the opponent's formation, it seems that there are more people and more strict organization, just like the Yuanzhou army was born in the Hezhong army!

'Boom...' A loud bang pulled Zong Han back to the battlefield again. If the artillery bombardment they encountered in Yingzhou was equivalent to a 8th-level wind, then what they encountered now was a 12th-level hurricane. In a flash of artillery

The sound could no longer be separated, and the iron-futu, which was charging, was in the eye of the debate, drowned in the flames and smoke!

"It's over!" Zong Han squeezed out two words with a black face. Looking at Tie Futu struggling in the blood and fire, his heart was like a knife. Tie Futu, as his trump card, was defeated again and again by the sharp firearm.

Below, he was resentful and unwilling.

"The Marshal should withdraw his troops. Otherwise, he would not be able to retreat!" Wanyan Loushi was also frightened. Tiefutu broke the formation and attacked the enemy since they started the army. He had been invincible for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, today

But he met the nemesis, but he was afraid that the glory would be gone in the future. He saw that the enemy troops carrying the rifle had already lined up and began to jog to catch the enemy. The two wings of the enemy were also opened, trying to surround him, while the right wing was

Zhi Qingqi was taking advantage of the gap between his side and the valley entrance to conquer. Once they controlled the valley entrance, they would cut off their way back!

"Retreat, retreat back to the valley!" Zong Han also knew that things could not be done today, so he had no choice but to order.

'Woo...'The low trumpet sounded, and Seri held the horse hatefully, but the wall made of iron and fire in front of him became a deep valley that he could not cross, and the fearless warriors rushed forward

After going up, it was unable to fill it up, but turned into pieces of flying feathers, becoming the burial place of Tiefutu...

"Loyalty and courageous, you will win!" The artillery fire gradually faded. Dozens of military horns were blowing at the same time, and the fierce and shrill sound of charge made people excited. The dragon general Xu Biao raised his gun and shouted, leading the first wave of cavalry towards

The Jin army, who was retracting their horses to slow down and preparing to retreat, launched a charge.

"Loyalty and courageous, you will win!"

"Invincible loyalty and courage, you will win!"... The slogan of battle resounded throughout the sky, overshadowing the sound of galloping horses and overshadowing the sound of rumbling cannons.

Since the Zhongyong Army participated in the Western Expedition, it has not experienced any major wars. Xu Biao has grown from a commander to a general. He missed the attack on Liao and failed to beat the Jurchens. In the past few years, he has not been able to fight the Jurchens.

Still training, Xu Biao is like a tiger trapped in a cage for a long time. He longs to smell the bloody smell on the battlefield, hear the enemy's cry of despair on the verge of death, and see the enemy's embarrassing appearance in panic!

"Run quickly and get out the gun!" Xu Biao knocked off the horse's belly with his heel. The war horse suddenly accelerated. The spear in his hand was knocked down, and the tip of the cold spear pointed at the enemy in a hurry ahead.

In order to ensure the forward move forward, the Piso, which was connected to the war horses, turned the biggest obstacle to the retreat of the Jin army, and their Tiefutu always moved forward, forward, until they broke through the enemy's solid

In the military formation, they are the most powerful warriors among the Jurchen tribes and the family is extremely proud. But today they actually want to retreat voluntarily, which makes Tiefutu and others feel ashamed and helpless, especially in front of the weak Song army!

Seeing the enemy's elite cavalry rushing towards him like huge waves set off by a tide. Although thousands of horses were galloping, the sound of horse hooves fell to a point like war drums, indicating that the army was well-trained, and it was definitely not

I never knew what fear was what any army I had defeated could have. Wanyan Sai knew the taste of fear today.

'Bang' The two iron cavalry collided with each other. Tiefutu, which lost its speed advantage due to retreat, was defeated in an instant without any accident. The long cavalry spear turned into flying wood chips in the blood fountain. The horse's hooves fell directly from the ground.

Tiefutu crossed the corpse and rushed into the chaos.

In a few breaths, the second wave came again. Saili hurriedly summoned his subordinates to meet him. As soon as the two armies met, a gun rushed forward like lightning. Saili hurriedly tightened the horse's belly and turned to his shoulders.

A flash of sparks appeared on the armor, and took away a few leaves of armor. Two horses kicked the enemy by mistake, and two horses passed by by mistake.

Seri was just glad that he could escape the fatal shot. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the wind blowing in his head. He secretly looked at it. It turned out that the boy who stabbed himself with a gun was empty. He was unwilling to accept it.

He swung the spear as a big stick. The serry hurriedly lowered his head and rushed forward, knocking the stirrups hard. The war horse rushed forward, but he still couldn't dodge. With a bang, he felt his back be plucked.

It hurts, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been knocked off the horse.

"What a bad thing!" Xu Biao pulled the enemy general with the handle of the gun. The handle of the gun was broken into several sections. The enemy general was safe and sound. He couldn't help but scold the prince for all the weapons given to them. In fact, the thing was used to protect the protection.

The workmanship and materials are not strong, they are just disposable things. Who can make them use them creatively?

Seeing that the cavalry of the Hezhong Army defeated the vanguard led by him and had been lost more than half, Sali did not dare to fight again, so he led the remaining troops to attack the left wing and avoided the main force of the Hezhong Army to return to the original formation. Xu Biao succeeded in one blow and followed the situation.

Continue to advance, pointing directly at the commander of the Jin army, Zong Han.

Zong Han quickly came back from his temporary panic and ordered Wanyan Loushi to face the Song army's Zhengchuan troops from the right wing, and asked Yelu Mawu to block the Song army's Yeli troops from the left wing, and to cover the central army to retreat into the valley.

Yan Loushi led 2,000 people to kill the right wing of the tribal army led by Zhengchuan as the main body. He personally led 200 people as the vanguard, holding a shield to block the arrow shot from the shooting, and the war horse was shot to death. He replaced the horse.

Fight again.

Wanyan Loushi's fearless tactics brought great trouble to Zhengchuan. The offensive was blocked by two thousand Jurchens, and the two armies fell into a melee. The Jin army's loyal and brave army in Zhao Jia was sharp.

The firearm was beaten in shame, but he showed extremely high combat power and superb combat skills in front of the army equipped with cold weapons. They broke through the front army on the left wing several times and fought to the central army. Zhengchuan led his own military force to fight.

It was only then that the Jin army was repelled, and its plan to seize the valley entrance and cut off the Jin army's retreat was ruined.

Yelu Mawu led his troops to block Yeli's troops on the left wing. After a battle, he found that his opponents' combat effectiveness was not as elite as the forwards, so he began to organize a powerful counterattack. Most of the Mawu's troops were surrendered by the Liao Kingdom, while Yelizeng

It was the commander of the Western Xia army. The two armies had similar tactics and were difficult to solve for a while, but their unyielding assault momentum was quickly curbed.

Zhao Qi saw that the left and right wings of the battlefield were in a stalemate, and the attack of the cavalry who broke through the middle was also at the end of their strength and was in a melee with the enemy. If they continued to fight, they could only launch a new attack by returning to the army to organize their formation. Once they retreated, they could

The Jin army broke through. At this time, the scout came to report that a Jin army was rushing to help.

Zhao Qi felt that his troops had a great victory in the battle, and the Jin army reinforcements had arrived and could not break through Sanjiaokou. It was noon, and the Hezhong Army had to fight against the sun, which was not good, so he stopped when he saw the good news. Ming Jin withdrew his troops and voluntarily withdrew.

On the battlefield, the Jin army also slowly retreated into the valley. Zhao Qiong went downstairs three miles away from Sanjiaokou and sealed the way in and out of the Jin army. The first confrontation between the two sides came to an end!

The next day, Zhao Xiao led his troops to attack. The Jin army defended Sanjiaokou with his village and blocked the Song army with bows and crossbows. He was repelled several attacks. Zhao Xiao ordered a brigade of artillery to bombard Sanjiao Village with heavy artillery. This heavy artillery battalion was still the leader.

He was involved in actual combat once. He was originally prepared to capture the city in the future, but now he was used by the prince to attack a small fortress. It was really a bit useless, and Zhao Qi also wanted to see how powerful this cannon is!

This heavy artillery is actually a copycat version of the red-clothed cannon in the late Ming Dynasty. It is a back-mounted smooth-bore cannon. Its characteristics are that its barrel is long, its pipe wall is very thick, its body is more than nine feet long, its diameter is six inches, and it is three heavy.

More than a thousand kilograms, there are cylindrical gun ears on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body. The gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis. It can change the range with gunpowder dosage; it is equipped with sight and sight gates, which can be used to calculate the ballistics and the range reaches six.

Although the hundred steps are not as good as those created by later generations, they are a great killing weapon at this time.

However, this cannon can also be used to attack the city, because it is impossible to increase the rate of fire when the front-mounted cannon is not possible. Every time it is fired, it will seriously deviate from the original shooting position, and it needs to go through reset, reload, and set the direction angle and elevation angle again.

Steps: And after shooting, you must pour water into the gunbore chamber to extinguish the spark. Use dry cloth to dry the gunbore chamber, then fill it with gunpowder, ignite the bullet, and then click to release it. These actions are quite slow and tedious.

However, this kind of cannon is powerful and there is no problem in bombing the city wall. But dealing with cavalry is a joke. There is no time to fire the second cannon, and the cavalry rushed into the dead corner. Therefore, Zhao Qi only equips each brigade with five gates.

I came to attack the city and thought that I might be able to use it this time, so I brought them two doors.

In order to ensure a hit, the cannon brigade led Cao Yi to the battle himself, calculate the numbers, command the soldiers to fill gunpowder and load the bullets. With a loud bang, even the war horses who were used to hearing the sound of gunfire could not help but stomp them hard.

A few times, Zhao Qiong held the telescope and watched the shells draw a beautiful arc. Zhengzhongzhaimen knocked the gate of the gate made of a bowl-sized log and flew out. The Jin army hiding behind was not dead.

He was so scared that he scattered.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and ordered two cannons to bombard the entire village in turn. Although the fire rate of the heavy artillery was slow, it was powerful. The Jin army stepped up the repairs, but it could not keep up with the destruction speed of the artillery. Finally, it collapsed with a loud bang. Zhao

Shi Yi immediately rushed into the village. The Jin soldiers, who were scared by the huge power of artillery, lost the barrier and quickly retreated. He led his troops to follow and pursue.

However, the Jin army occupied the high ground on both sides of the valley, relying on the right terrain to resist step by step with giant trees, rolling stones and bows. Zhao Qi ordered the wolf to capture the hills on both sides, disperse the blocking Jin army, and then followed.

In the evening, he advanced thirty miles and occupied the entire valley road, less than ten miles away from Taiyuan City. It was getting darker. Zhao Qi ordered the camp to march to Taiyuan tomorrow to fight the Jin army to rescue the siege...

The next day, Zhao Jie rectified his troops and commanded more than 100,000 troops to Taiyuan. The distance of more than ten miles was probably noon. Taiyuan City was already in sight, but not far away. The detective cavalry came to report that the Jin army actually withdrew the siege.

It disappeared from the city of Taiyuan overnight.

After hearing this, Zhao Qi was shocked. He lit up his light horse and advanced towards Taiyuan, while sending scouts to find where the Jin army retreated. When he led his troops to the city of Taiyuan, he saw that the Jin army camp still existed and the bonfire was not over, but it was already

People left the village in vain, and the Taiyuan City in front of us was already ruined. The corpses under the city were stacked and stenched. Arrows, broken soldiers, broken hole cars, goose cars were everywhere. The soldiers on the city were watching the speeding.

The soldiers sounded the alarm!

"According to the emperor's order, Prince Yan, the Hezhong Jingfu Pacification Envoy, led his troops to lift the siege of Taiyuan. The cash army has retreated, so open the city gate!" When he arrived at the city, Zhao Zhen ordered people to call the city across the river.

After shouting three times in a row, the people in the city seemed to have reacted and looked at the Song army under the city in disbelief. Taiyuan was surrounded in December last year, and it has been nearly eight months since it was surrounded. The soldiers and civilians in the city are looking for reinforcements every day.

I wanted to go through, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it, so I hurriedly reported to the prefect Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Bing.

"Prince Yan...Prince Yan is leading his troops to rescue the siege!" Zhang Xiaochun lay on the top of the city and watched for a long time before confirming that the leader of the city was his old boss. He shouted loudly at the military and civilians under the city.

The news of the rescue quickly spread throughout Taiyuan City. People ran around to tell Prince Yan that he had led his troops to rescue the siege, and rushed to Kaiyuan Gate to welcome him. The blocked city gate was quickly dug open. Zhang Xiaochun went out first, and said the prince knelt down and cried bitterly.

He lost his voice, and he stayed in the lonely city for so long. The food in the city was basically used up. The soldiers first slaughtered cattle, horses, mules and other livestock, and later had to cook bows, crossbows, leather armor to fill their stomachs; while the people in the city could only use chaff and hay to fill their stomachs, and then go down.

Only people can eat people.

Zhao Qi knew that the old man was frustrated and comforted him with kind words. At the critical moment, Tong Guanza ran away. He left a mess for him and held the city in a shortage of soldiers. However, after Song and Jin reached a peace agreement to withdraw troops, he let him go.

He handed over Taiyuan to the Jurchens. The old man showed the integrity of a scholar, rejected the imperial edict from the court, and still led the people to persevere, rather than surrender. It can be said that he had endured great pressure from the court and the Jurchens. Ordinary people had long since been

Crashed.

At this time, the army arrived one after another, and the Jurchens left strangely. Zhao Jie ordered a group of people to enter the city to strengthen the city defense, and most of them settled down on the city to control important places to prevent the Jin army from taking this chaotic opportunity to attack, and then mobilized grain into the city to provide relief to the military and civilians.

Join forces with Zhang Xiaochun to Anmin, bury the body, repair the city, and prepare for another battle!

Zhao Qiong was in charge of Hedong for several years, levying taxes and focusing on industry and commerce, which brought prosperity to Taiyuan. He had a very good reputation, and his order received response and cooperation from the military and civilians of Taiyuan. Everything was in order, and there was no looting or riots.

He also strictly restrained the Hezhong Army who entered the city and ordered the military and legal team to go to the streets to inspect. Anyone who disobeyed the military orders and harassed the residents immediately refused to forgive him.

It was busy until dark that Zhao Qi returned to his original home Xuanfusi Yamen. He was going to live in the inn, but Zhang Xiaochun refused to allow it. He moved out and insisted on asking him to live here. Obviously, he also said that Taiyuan was also

It means to have the prince as the leader.

In the evening, Zhao Qi invited Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Bing to discuss matters in his mansion. The three of them had been busy for a day and had no time to eat. Now the people in the city have just solved the problem of eating, and the food is still short of food. Zhao Qi is not good at eating and drinking.

He ordered people to cook a pot of meat porridge and bake some meat pies to entertain the two of them.

"General Wang, this time I have made great contributions to defending the city, and I have a bright future!" Zhao Qi was drinking porridge and talking to them. The two of them seemed to have a life of not knowing the taste of meat. Although the dinner was simple, they ate very much.

Happy.

"The prince has praised it. The prince is the god general. He defeated the Jin army in two battles and lifted the siege of Taiyuan. It is not inferior to the style he was when he was conquering the west!" Wang Bing hurriedly put down his bowl and bowed his hand and said.

"General Wang has seen me in the past, but I can't remember it!" Zhao Qi heard him talk about what happened back then, and then saw that Wang Bing really didn't know him.

"The prince discussed the matter of sending troops with the Grand Marshal during the Western Expedition. The generals followed the guard to see the prince's style. However, the generals were a small team leader at that time. Of course, the prince would not remember me!" Wang Bing smiled and laughed.

Say.

"If you can defend Taiyuan, you still rely on General Wang, otherwise the officials will not be able to defend this lonely city!" Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly changed the subject because he was embarrassed by the prince.

"Oh, the Taiwei was eager to return to the capital that day, and Liumo General was forced to defend the city. I just don't know what the Taiwei is now?" Taiyuan was surrounded for a long time, and the news was cut off. If the emperor had changed, he would have heard from the cemetery envoy. Wang Bing asked.

road.

"After Bianjing was besieged, the Tai student buried the palace and wrote a letter to demand the killing of the treacherous slander. In February, Taiwei Tong was demoted to the general of the left guard and retired and went to Chizhou to live; in April, he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi and was placed in Chenzhou. Later, he was demoted to the position of the deputy envoy of the army.

The resettlement in Yingzhou, Guangnan was changed, and the news was cut off from the long journey. I don’t know what happened recently!" Zhao Qi replied.

"This thief should have been killed long ago. I have listened to Ma Kuo's words. How could he have suffered today? Even if he escapes at the battle, he should have used his military law!" Zhang Xiaochun said gritting his teeth, obviously hating him to the core.

"Oh, today's disaster was also his own fault!" Wang Bing sighed, obviously he was dissatisfied with Tong Guan.

"If it weren't for his slander, the prince wouldn't have been demoted to Hezhong. If the prince was still there, how could he allow the Jin thieves to be rampant and the troops were at the city to cause trouble in Hedong!" Zhang Xiaochun remembered the prince's good luck at this moment.

"The emperor's grace is vast, wind, thunder, rain and dew are all gifts, so don't say this anymore!" In fact, it's all his father's fault, and it's embarrassing to continue talking. Zhao Qiong used words to hide it, "The siege of Taiyuan has been resolved, I want to

How about it?”

"Thank you, Prince!" the two said in unison. Everyone knew that this credit should be recorded on the prince alone. Now that the joint declaration of victory is equivalent to the prince giving them a credit. However, since he accepted the prince's kindness, he would

After expressing their respective positions, they will become the prince's people in the future.

"Okay, the Jin army suddenly evacuated last night, and its whereabouts are unknown. I am worried that there must be tricks in it. Two people still need to worry about the Taiyuan matter!" Zhao Qi nodded, and his words also implied that they both, since they are both their own people, in the future

Hedong is still yours. I won’t compete with you, so stay with peace of mind...
