  Chapter 917 Destroyed in World War I

The Jin soldiers who came to suppress the rebel army in Longde Mansion were the Ten Thousand East Road Han Army. They were originally the Xiang Army of the southern states of the East Road in the Song Dynasty. Commander Liu Daliu was commanded by the capital of Hedong Road, and Liu Daliu was also appointed as the commander of the Han army and the commander of the capital, with a high status.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Taiyuan, this army was transferred to Jiexiu County to be in charge of guarding the logistics center of Jinbing, but Liu Daying failed to keep the granary in Jiexiu County and was ordered to be executed by Wanyan Xieye. Zhao Wenhui, the commander of the sixth department, was also downgraded from the command of the capital to the command of the general, and the rank of the army was also reduced from the third rank of the Han army to the fourth rank of the Han army.

Correspondingly, soldiers’ military salaries were generally reduced by 30%, food, accommodation and other welfare benefits were also reduced accordingly, and armor was also reduced from cowhide armor to ink-painted cloth armor. This is the reward and punishment system for golden soldiers. The punishment of guarding the logistics camp.

Generally speaking, the Han army is divided into four levels. The Han soldiers in the original Liao Kingdom are generally the first-level Han army, while the surrender of the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty belongs to the second-level Han army, the surrender of the Xiang army in the Song Dynasty belongs to the third-level Han army, and the fourth-level Han army. The first-level Han army is mainly the original township soldiers.

But in terms of the rank of the Jin soldiers, the rank of the Han army is still at the bottom, lower than the Jurchen soldiers, Bohai Goryeo soldiers, and Qixi soldiers, ranking at the bottom, and this severely punished army belongs to the bottom of the bottom , The most direct treatment is that the monthly salary is always the same money, there is no right to distribute the spoils, half a catty of brown rice is given every day, a plate of pickled vegetables, and the accommodation is also 50 people live in a big tent, wearing cloth armor and leather helmets, no shields, Crossbow arrows, only a Khitan spear and a dagger.

They are responsible for the dirty work in the army, and they are also responsible for suppressing peasant rebellions. Every Han soldier has a tattoo on his forehead. If he escapes and is caught, he will be beheaded immediately. Even if they fled to the Song Dynasty, they would not be able to lift their heads because of the tattoo on their foreheads, so they could only count on one day.

  The army rushed to the foot of Shangdang City. Zhao Wenhui looked up at the county seat. There was no moat in the county seat, and the city wall was not high. He turned around and shouted: "Army assembled!"

With the sound of drums, ten thousand Han troops assembled quickly. Zhao Wenhui rode on a horse and shouted to the ten thousand soldiers: "The other party is just a rebellious peasant, a group of rabble, vulnerable to a single blow, cheer me up, if After destroying this rebel army, we can return to the third-level Han army, and the treatment will be the same as before. I promise you, after breaking through the county, you will get the benefits you expected!"

His words quickly spread throughout the entire army, and all the soldiers' eyes were brightened. Although they did not have the right to distribute the spoils and all the spoils had to be handed over, it did not mean that they would not receive benefits. All soldiers knew in their hearts that their benefits meant Women and small treasures that can be hidden, mainly gold, silver and jewelry, can be enjoyed by women on the spot. Gemstones, pearls and small ingots of gold and silver can be hidden, and military law soldiers cannot find them at all.

  After receiving the promise from the general, the dying soldiers of the Han army became excited like chicken blood.

  Zhao Wenhui knew that the morale of his army was hard to rise and easy to destroy. It was easy to rise up, and he had to hurry up. Before he could let the soldiers rest, he drew his sword and pointed at the city and shouted: "Siege the city!"

  . ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

  'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’ The drums of the attack sounded, and ten thousand golden soldiers rushed towards the city two miles away with shouts.

  This time, the golden soldiers brought fifty ordinary siege ladders, enough to break through the city occupied by the mud legs.

  On the city wall, Li Ying shouted: "Archers prepare!"

The flag was waving on the top of the city, and the three thousand archers immediately put on the posture of shooting arrows. They were all rebels who had just been recruited, and they had only trained for two days. There is only one content of their training, when to prepare, when to release the arrow, and then the posture and angle of the arrow.

  The waving of the big flag is the order to prepare. They need to get ready for archery, and then wait for the order to release the arrow. The order to release the arrow is the sound of the clapper.

The archers stood in the back row of the city wall. Standing at the battlements were 2,000 fighting soldiers. They were the rebels who rebelled last time. The 5,000 soldiers selected from the 40,000 were basically former Song Army soldiers. After two months of rigorous training, he has become a qualified soldier.

  Another 5,000 soldiers lined up at the gate of the city, led by the five Liu brothers, ready to fight out of the city at any time.

10,000 golden soldiers came to kill, and the momentum was very spectacular, which made the soldiers at the top of the city tense up, and tightly held the spears in their hands. As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. Song soldiers who have participated in countless battles on the top of the city The soldiers shook their heads secretly. They had traveled a long distance and attacked the city without rest. How could they bear it physically?

  Hou Jing whispered to Li Ying: "The Jin soldiers underestimate the enemy!"

  Li Ying smiled slightly, "Maybe they think that the rebel army is just a group of mobs who can be defeated quickly, so they don't need to make too many preparations."

   "Then when do we cast the Thunderbolt?"

   "Wait until they get together and then shoot, defeating them in one fell swoop!"

  The two made up their strategy and waited patiently for the enemy to come forward.

  The golden soldiers ran closer and closer, and within a hundred steps, Li Ying still did not give the order to shoot arrows. When the golden soldiers ran within fifty steps, Li Ying shouted, "Archery!"

The sound of clappers suddenly sounded, and three thousand archers shot arrows down the city. They basically shot at the sky at an oblique angle of 60 degrees. For a while, the arrows rained down on the city, and the golden soldiers in the city had no shields to resist. , the cloth armor on his body couldn't withstand the throwing of the soldiers' arrows, and they screamed and fell to the ground. More than 500 people were shot down in the first round of firing.

  The archers on the top of the city heard the screams from below the city, and all of them trembled with excitement, and continued to shoot down the city with their bows and arrows.

Thousands of golden soldiers had already attacked the city, and a siege ladder was built on the top of the city. At this moment, the mine throwers hiding behind the battlements made a move. The flying fire thunders circled towards the siege ladder, and quickly entangled on the main pillar of the siege ladder. As the flying fire thunders exploded, the siege ladder was blown off immediately, and they could no longer continue to attack the city. It was the first time for the soldiers of the army to go to the battlefield, and they had never seen Fei Huolei before, so they were all stunned.

  At this time, Li Ying saw that the 10,000 gold soldiers had basically gathered in the city, and he gave the order to launch the thunder.

'boom! boom! boom! '

With a series of crashing sounds, ten thunderbolts soared into the sky and flew down the city fifty paces away. When the rebel soldiers on the top of the city saw the thunder launching, they lay down on the ground to cover their ears. At this moment, the ten thunderbolts The sky thunder exploded above Jin Bing's head, and dense poisoned iron nails shot at the surrounding soldiers. The iron nails penetrated the soldiers' cloth armor and shot into their bodies. The soldiers under the city suddenly screamed pitifully.

   Immediately afterwards, Hou Jing ordered the launch of the second and third rounds of lightning strikes. The battlefield was suddenly filled with smoke, and screams resounded across the field. Thousands of Han soldiers who were not injured were scared out of their wits and turned around to flee.

  The west city gate opened with a bang, and Liu Da yelled loudly: "Go out of the city and kill the enemy!"

  Five thousand soldiers came out of the city. They waved their knives and guns and swept to kill the frightened golden soldiers.

  The 10,000 soldiers of the Han army used to be the Xiang army, and they had no chance to go to the battlefield after surrendering to the Jin soldiers. They had never seen Zhentianlei show its power.

At this moment, all the soldiers were frightened out of their wits and their morale was defeated. They just wanted to escape as far as possible. Brother Liu Dawu led 5,000 soldiers to fight out of the city. countless.

  The battle was over after only one hour. The soldiers happily cleaned the battlefield and escorted the prisoners. At this time, Liu Da brought two prisoners to find Li Ying. He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "The reinforcements are really powerful!"

  Li Ying smiled slightly: "Actually, these thunderbolts are nothing, but these golden soldiers are too bad."

   "Hmph! It's just a bunch of Song Dynasty scum."

   Li Ying asked the two prisoners again, "Who are they?"

   "They are pigeon slaves and are responsible for distributing pigeon letters to Linfen County. We also seized two pairs of pigeons!"

  Li Ying was overjoyed. He originally planned to send people to Linfen to lie about the military situation. Now that he has a pigeon letter, he is more secure. He quickly asked the two pigeon slaves, "Do you have to write a letter from your general?"

   "No need to write a letter in hand, but a pigeon letter seal is required, in a small wooden box in his horse bag."

  The enemy general Zhao Wenhui had been bombed to death, and his horse was also dead. Without waiting for Li Ying's order, Liu Da ran out immediately, brought a horse bag, and found a small wooden box inside.

  Li Ying took it and opened it, and there was indeed a very small seal inside, "Is it this?"

   The two soldiers nodded, "That's it, but two copies at a time."

  Li Ying immediately wrote two identical pigeon letters, sealed them, and fastened them to the legs of the pigeons. The two pigeons flew into the sky, circled twice and then flew towards Linfen County.
