Chapter 27 A voice that ruined half of the country
On November 18th in the third year of Jianyan (1129), Wushu officially crossed the river.
In charge of leading the "kidnapping horse" across the river from the two wings are Bohai Wanfu's eldest son, Tabuye, Hulubu, Danghai, and Dihu.Among the four, Da Tu Bu Ye is a ruthless character.
Da Tabuye is a native of Liaoyang, and has been an official in Liao for generations. After the Jin captured Liaoyang, he quickly worshiped under Agu's tent and served the Jin. He was awarded the title of Meng'an (Chief of a Thousand Commanders) and acquaintance with left-behind affairs in Tokyo.Once, when 200,000 Liao troops came to attack, Agu ordered him to lead his headquarters to defend the camp. He insisted on going to battle, but was not allowed.Someone next to him advised him: "Now that the Liao army is numerous and powerful, and they take the initiative to fight, the odds are good. Wouldn't it be better to fight on behalf of others? Besides, the Lord doesn't agree with you to fight, why do you apply so hard?" Tart Buye slapped his chest loudly, as if he had taken a stimulant, and said loudly, "My husband can't decide the outcome, so what's the point? If you really lose in the battle, even if you die, you will still live."
Aguda "heard and felt strong" and agreed to fight.
When the battle started, the two sides charged at each other. After a few rounds, there were few Jin soldiers and they were a little overwhelmed. In an emergency, Da Tatbuye led his troops to attack from the flanks, killing hundreds of people in a row, and the momentum of the Liao army suddenly weakened. , retreated in defeat.In this battle, the big tart did not fight wildly and became famous.
In the third year of Tianhui (1125), the second prince, Wuli, could not go south to attack the Song Dynasty, and Datuo Buye acted as a vanguard in front of the battle. Destroy the city and pull out the stronghold all the way, and charge forward.
The army marched to Xinde Mansion (now Xingtai County, Hebei Province), and the Jin troops of other ministries continued to attack for several days. Angle scored.In Dajunzhou (now Junxian County, Henan Province), the Jin soldiers crossed the river without boats, and they rushed to the opposite bank to "strike the defenders and seize the garrison fence", and opened up a beachhead. Set up a pontoon bridge to meet the army across the river.When attacking Qing Mansion, the other Jin troops were busy carrying the siege equipment, and they were not wild. They did not beat the gongs or drums.
He couldn't wait to cross the river this time, as soon as Wu Shu's order was issued, he swung the sword in his hand, turned around and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, take the boat and follow me!" He took the lead in crossing the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River has a wide surface and turbulent water flow, known as the natural moat.
Two years ago, when Li Gang first took office, he proposed to place naval forces on the Huai River and the Yangtze River respectively.If this suggestion can be implemented, it will be enough to stop the Jurchen iron cavalry.Unfortunately, Zhao Gou didn't take it to heart.
Du Chong, who was ordered to defend the Jianghuai River, only guarded the river and not the Huaihe River, allowing the Jin soldiers to cross the Huaihe River easily.Even the number of troops responsible for guarding the river is small.Shao Qing, the naval commander in charge of guarding the river, has a weak force, including Shao Qing, there are only 19 people, and there is only one warship.
Relatively speaking, Jinbing, which has more than 20 ships, has a lot of advantages.
The north wind howled, the river roared like thunder, and occasionally splashed on the face, it was extremely cold and piercing to the skin.Shao Qing and the eighteen soldiers, in order to fight against the invaders and defend the dignity of a soldier guarding the river, did not choose to retreat in front of a powerful enemy, but met the enemy tragically.
In the situation where the enemy is outnumbered, Shao Qing and the others are undoubtedly fighting against the odds.
Their end is tragic, but also heroic.Eighteen warriors were either killed or injured. One of the boatmen named Zhang Qing "hit seventeen arrows", and the warship was forced to retreat into Zhuyedu.
There were no more Southern Song defenders on the river, and the Jin army "crossed the Yangtze River like walking on flat ground" and crossed the river calmly.
Another commander, Guo Ji, led his soldiers to display Jiangkou, ready for battle.
The big tart is not wild, "If you look at the water for fording, the soldiers will rush to the shore and attack it." Jin soldiers jumped directly from the boat into the river, and rolled towards the shore like a strong wind. Unstable and quickly retreats.
Big Tart followed closely behind excitedly.Behind him, there are a steady stream of golden soldiers crossing the river.
At the critical moment, Chen Kui led Yue Fei, Qi Fang and other seventeen generals with 20,000 soldiers, and they arrived.
Chen Que, courtesy name Junrui, a native of Putian, once followed the famous Prime Minister Lu Huiqing to guard the border, beheaded countless Xixia soldiers, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.In the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122), he served as the sub-capital supervisor of Zhending Road and also knew Beizhai and the first general of Hebei. Soon, he also worshiped Zhongzhou Tuanlian envoy and deputy director of Zhendingfu Road Mabu.When the Jin invaded Zhending Mansion, Chen Cui fought alone, and "all eight wives and children were killed."
Before leading the troops to set off, he once suggested to Du Chong: "Although there are many Jin soldiers, they only have more than 20 ships, and each ship can carry no more than 50 people. Each group of them crosses only a thousand people. .If we ambushes in the Jialu area, and we will wipe out a batch of them every time they cross, we will definitely win a big victory." Du Chong refused to listen.
When Chen Cui and the others arrived, most of the Jin soldiers had already crossed the river.
The 20,000 people brought by Chen Cui were all powerful soldiers built by Zong Ze back then, with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Seeing the current situation, they immediately went into battle.
All of a sudden, swords, swords, guns and halberds flickered, shouting and killing.
Yue Fei's troops were mainly cavalry, galloping back and forth, hacking and killing repeatedly, and often just after the unruly arrogance of the big tart was suppressed, another group of golden soldiers came down from the ship and joined the battle group. The attack wave made the Song army overwhelmed, and the Song army fought extremely hard.
It was cold winter, the cold wind invaded the muscles, the iron clothes were hard to hold, and the horn bow was out of control. Both the sweat and the blood that flowed out quickly condensed. Yue Fei overcame the difficulties and showed his might. Later generations wrote poems praising:
In addition to Wushu, the last group of golden generals to go ashore also has a mighty general named Wang Bolong.
This Wang Bolong is from Shenzhou Shuangcheng (now Heilongjiang Shuangcheng). On the battlefield, he likes to be "heavily armored and crowned with a big cauldron", which is very eye-catching.In doing this, Wang Bolong is not only playing cool and handsome, but also a bold man of high skill.Because they are dressed too differently, they are easy to become the target of attack. If they greet each other with swords, guns, swords and halberds, ordinary people will soon have to finish the game.But Wang Bolong thinks he is proficient in martial arts, and he often goes on rampage in battle, one against ten.It is said in history that in the process of attacking the Song Dynasty, he broke Kong Yanzhou, defeated Li Qiong, took Baozhou and Xiaqingzhou (one of the ancient "Kyushu", which refers to the vast area from the east of Mount Tai to the Bohai Sea), and attacked Xuzhou, Sizhou, Luzhou ( Governed Hefei, Anhui), and Hezhou (now Chaohu City and County), and ranked first in military exploits.
As soon as this person entered the field, he led his cavalry directly to Chen Que.
Chen Que's guards couldn't resist and fell to the ground one after another.
Yue Fei hurriedly led his soldiers to intercept him from the side and fought with him.
Wushu's cavalry has all been put into battle. First, because there is no "Iron Buddha", and second, because the "kidnapper horse" has lost the opportunity to attack the thunder, so the advantage is not obvious, and the effect of Zongze's strict troop training has also been fully demonstrated. When they came out, the Song army showed no signs of fear. The two sides fought for a long time and saw each other repeatedly. They fought hard for more than a dozen rounds "from Chen to Wei".
In order to win the war, Du Chong bet on Wang Xie's troops again.But unexpectedly, it turned out to be self-defeating.
According to Du Chong's idea, when Wang Xie's troops come up, the strength of the Song army will definitely be strengthened. Wang Xie has more than 13,000 soldiers and horses, belonging to the imperial battalion army and the government's central army. The weapons and equipment are the most advanced in the Song army at that time. OK
No one expected that before this army went into battle, many soldiers were already trembling, wanting to flee.
General Wang Xie panicked and yelled: "The army is defeated! The army is defeated!" With just this voice, the army's morale was in turmoil, and 13,000 soldiers and horses had not formally fought with the Jin people, and they all fled.
Relying on the speed of his horse, Wang Xie himself ran away without a trace.
As a result, the Song army was in chaos, and the Jin army took advantage of the momentum to attack. Chen Que was exhausted and was captured in the chaos, and the remaining generals fled in all directions.
Chen Cui, who cut his hands backwards, "according to Hu bed cursed, the blade was crossed in his chest but his face did not move", he just wanted to die quickly.
Wushu fulfilled him and killed him and his nephew Chen Zhongmin together.
Chen Que was a veteran combat hero. His death strengthened Yue Fei's determination to kill the enemy and serve the country.Yue Fei, who was born in a poor family, knows that life is not easy. The life of ordinary people is not easy even in a good year, let alone in the war-torn period of wars and alien invasions. His father's chivalrous heart, his mother's understanding of righteousness, his master's martial spirit, Zong Ze, etc. Yue Fei was deeply touched by people's utter loyalty.The tragedy on the battlefield and the tragedy of the people after being ravaged by foreign races filled Yue Fei with righteous indignation, which strengthened Yue Fei's belief in defending his family and the country.
"If a country benefits from life and death, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune!"
"The sky is cold and blue, and the north wind is called dry mulberry." Yue Fei fought alone until dusk, "all the generals were defeated", and the backup was not available, and the soldiers were weak, so they had to drive the army to the bell in the northeast of Jiankang City in the vast night. Mountain stationed.
Jin Jun all crossed the Yangtze River that night.
When Du Chong received the battle report, he was shocked and ordered people to open the water gate to escape from the water.
As soon as the water gate was opened, the fleeing civilian ships "competed for the gate and embraced the pass", with thousands of sails all sailing, Du Chong's big ship couldn't get out at all.
Du Chong's cronies coaxed the common people: "Everyone, don't panic, don't panic, give way, give way, Du Xianggong's warship is in a hurry to sail to meet the Jinren!"
The common people responded immediately: "We also go to meet the enemy!"
Du was so angry that he stared straight at him, so he had no choice but to return to the office of the Xuanfu Department cursing.
The people pointed at his back and cursed: "This Du Xianggong only knows how to kill his own people. Now that the matter is urgent, he wants to abandon the city and flee first!"
On the second day, Du Chong selected fifty Kongwu powerful soldiers, and each rewarded ten liang of silver and ten bolts of silk, and asked them to open the way for themselves.As the saying goes, under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and fifty "gods of the road" were in front of them, hacking and killing the people. Finally, Du Chong led three thousand soldiers to fight a bloody road from the "chaotic crowd" and fled to Jiangbei. Zhenzhou (now Yizheng City, Jiangsu Province).
As soon as Du Chong left, Jin Ren easily took Jiankang into his pocket.
Jiankang is the most important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water and land arteries extend in all directions. Its loss means that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is about to fall.
Han Shizhong, the envoy of Western Zhejiang Province stationed in Zhenjiang, heard that Jiankang had been lost, so he had to "take all the funds stored in the sea and burn his city walls" and lead the boat back to Jiangyin.
At the same time, the West Route Army led by Ba Lisu, Ta Lan, and Yelu Ma Wu also crossed the river from Huangzhou (now Huangzhou City, Hubei Province). Liu Guangshi's army in present-day Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province fled in the face of the wind.
