The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 607 Bloody Battle

"My lord, all the soldiers are gathered together!"

Zhao Gou nodded, then got up and went directly to the school grounds, looking at the neatly lined up soldiers in front, standing in the front row were Lu Junyi, Song Jiang, Gao Chong, Zhong Shidao and others, and the back row were holding spears Soldiers, even the cook came out.

"Soldiers, I believe everyone knows the reason why they are gathered here!" Zhao Gou shouted loudly, "Here, I won't say any more nonsense! Now the Jin people are ignoring the covenant and invading southward, wanting to occupy the land. Song Shanhe."

"Whether you are the people of the land of Yanyun or the soldiers who came with me, we are all one family now, and we are all from the Song Dynasty. Now the Jin people are marching in a large scale, the purpose is self-evident, it is to occupy us Hometown, to ravage our compatriots, do you agree?"

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

"I know that everyone has no idea. If you want to say that you are 100% sure that this battle will be won, even I can't be sure!" Zhao Gou said loudly again, "The army of Jinren is far more numerous than our own, and this cannot be ignored. Question. Maybe some brothers will think, can such a war really be won? Isn’t that self-destruction?”

"What is perdition? That is knowing the wolfish ambitions of the Jin people, but doing nothing, allowing them to trample on the territory of the Song Dynasty and humiliating us Song people wantonly, that is the real perdition. Even if you fight to the death today, We must also stick to Gubeikou to resist the Jin army."

"Even if I wait to die on the battlefield, it will be a worthy death. If the brothers work together, it will be difficult to defeat. My Song Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. In terms of combat effectiveness, how can the Jin people be comparable. Even if there is no reinforcements, there is not enough food and grass, We can also use our own hands and our own lives to resist the golden man's footsteps, even if I die, future generations should remember it."

"Our blood was not shed in vain today. If we do nothing and let the Jin people come, then we have no face to face the fathers and folks in our hometown. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, at least I know that if we fail to bring the Jin If people drive people out of Gubeikou, then Gao Tang, our wife and children in our family will definitely suffer the insults of Jin people, and how many innocent people will die in that way!"

"Would you like to see that scene?"

"Never promise!"

Zhao Gou's loud and loud words deeply stirred everyone's hearts.Originally, everyone was fighting with the Jinren, and they also knew that the difference in military strength between the two sides was too great, so everyone was panicked.Now what Zhao Gou said made them understand that if they waited for others to do nothing, then the result would be that the golden cavalry entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, and their wives, children, parents and others would be in trouble. what they want to see.

The soldiers who were still trembling in their hearts at this moment became more determined, unprecedentedly firm.Because they really don't want to see their wives and children being humiliated under the golden man, even if the court doesn't care about it, then everything can only depend on themselves.

"Pour wine!"

Following Zhao Gou's order, all the soldiers were holding bowls and filled them with wine. After everyone had filled them up, Zhao Gou said again: "Today, this bowl of wine is both Zhuangxing wine and farewell wine. It's the soul-severing wine. Now we have no way out, and the only way we can do it now is to fight to the death."

"This bowl of wine belongs to me, Zhao Goujing, brothers, do it!"

Zhao Gou drank it all in one gulp, and all the soldiers also drank it all, and then smashed all the bowls in their hands on the ground.Then, Zhao Gou ordered the cook to cook all the remaining food, so that all the brothers could eat and drink enough.Everyone did not speak, and all obeyed orders.

"Military Master, open the city gate tomorrow to fight against the enemy, and you will lead two thousand guards to wait at the city gate." Zhao Gou said solemnly, "Remember, the battle has no winner, so resolutely do not open the city gate. If we all If you die on the battlefield, you have to defend it even if you die. At that time, the fighting power of the golden soldiers will be greatly weakened, so even if you fight again, you won't have too many problems."

"If unfortunately we are all killed in battle, then I will hand over Gubeikou to you! If we win, we will have a good time talking and drinking. This blood debt must be repaid with blood, and then we will make a long-term plan. This is my military order. strictly enforced."

"My lord...obey your orders!" Military strategist Wu Yong reluctantly agreed, if he also had strong martial arts, he wouldn't have been arranged by Zhao Gou to guard the city gate.

In fact, everyone knew what Zhao Gou meant and didn't say anything.Because only Wu Yong was a scholar present, and this battle was a matter of life and death, if the scholar went up, he would just die in vain, it would be better to let him guard the rear, that is, Zhao Gou believed in Wu Yong's ability.

"Brothers in the kitchen, order them to cook when they are ugly, and they must do it at three o'clock when they are ugly!"

"As ordered!"

After Zhao Gou gave the order, the chief of the kitchen immediately followed it. He knew that this meal might be the last meal for the soldiers, so Zhao Gou also took out all the ingredients, including all the rice and vegetables. .

At the third quarter of the ugly hour, the soldiers immediately began to eat!This time, they let go of their arms and eat as much as they want, as long as they can eat, they will fill their stomachs.Since the beginning of the war, everyone has eaten two meals and one less meal. Sometimes they can't eat much at all, and they don't have the time.

Everyone knew that this meal might be the last meal.Even if you have no appetite, you have to eat it.If you are hungry, you will not have the strength to kill the enemy.Zhao Gou and the others also paid their bills. They ate with the soldiers, and there were some drinks. Zhao Gou did not enjoy them alone. warm up.

"Brothers, do it!"

"My lord, it's done!"

Zhao Gou, Gao Chong and the others drank it all in one gulp, all their words, all their uneasiness, all their troubles were all in the wine.

At the third quarter of Yin time, Zhao Gou issued a military order, ordering all the soldiers to leave the city.When they all left the city, Wu Yong sent an order to seal the city gate again, that is, to seal it dead.Directly blocking their way back, Wu Yong stood on the city wall, watching the backs of the people leaving, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

The wind is slack and the water is cold, and the strong men will never return once they go!
Zhao Gou divided the army into several parts, led by him, Lu Junyi, Zhong Shidao, Song Jiang, Gao Chong and others. They did not rush forward immediately, nor did they let all the soldiers go directly to fight.Zhao Gou personally led 2000 people to attack the Jin soldiers' rear in the dark.

The Jin Bing camp did not expect that the Song Army would dare to take the initiative to attack at this time, and they were negligent in guarding against it. In the end, they were successfully attacked by Zhao Gou and directly burned all their food and grass.Suddenly, the flames shot up into the sky, and Zhao Gou ordered the soldiers to retreat again.

When Wanyan Zonghan was attacked in the rear, he had already left the camp, and he immediately ordered all the troops to gather together.Because Zhao Gou came to sneak attack in person, that is to say, this battle must be fought, and there is no retreat, which is exactly what he wanted.

"Don't panic!" Wanyan Zonghan yelled, "All the soldiers obey the order and immediately pursue the Song army!"

"Kill!" Immediately, the shouts in the Jinbing camp were so loud that even Gao Chong and others could hear them clearly.

After Zhao Gou succeeded in the sneak attack, he immediately asked the soldiers to retreat, so how the Jin soldiers pursued them had little effect on the Song army.In addition, Gao Chong and others also came to meet him. Zhao Gou had already made arrangements, and this time he set up a gossip array and sacrificed his final trump card.

Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others guarded the eight directions respectively, and let the crossbow array sprint first.The generals of Jin Bing didn't know any formations at all, and they had never seen the large formations set up by Zhao Gou. They rushed forward and blocked Song Jiang's attack with their bodies, as if their lives were not life at all. , like ants.

When Zhao Gou set up a gossip formation to confront the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Zonghan let them attack one after another regardless of the lives and deaths of the soldiers.Moreover, he did not attack blindly, but only attacked one side.Because Mr. Zhong was older and physically weak, he was given special care.

The golden soldiers went forward and continued to attack. The golden soldiers who rushed to the front had already fallen, and they still couldn't resist the continuous soldiers coming from behind.In addition, Wanyan Zonghan also sent generals to charge forward.Originally thought that the gossip formation could last for an hour and defend against the Jinren's offensive.

It's just that there is too much difference in the strength of the two sides, and the golden soldiers are sprinting forward indomitably, regardless of life or death.Half an hour later, the gossip array was broken by the golden soldiers.Because they didn't care about the changes in the Song army's camp, and whether there were people resisting, they just wanted to kill the enemy.

"Azhong!"

Zhong Shidao shouted loudly, because when the formation was breached, Zhong Shi was beheaded by the general of the Jin soldiers, and even his body could not be seen.Because the army of golden soldiers continues to attack, no matter whether you are dead or half dead, you will be trampled into meat paste under the chaotic footsteps.

"Brothers, kill!"

Seeing that the formation had been broken, Zhao Gou knew that the next big battle would be the real battle.Therefore, he also took out the Cold Moon Blade and directly ordered to fight with the golden soldiers.Even though Jin Bing disregarded life and death, this courage is commendable.It's just that Zhao Gou believes that Song people will not have any fear.

If you are tyrannical, then I am more tyrannical than you; if you are not afraid of death, how can I be afraid!
Song and Jin started a decisive battle. Before the battle started, Wanyan Zonghan had already sent a letter asking Wanyan Zongwang to send troops to help; Zhao Gou also sent a letter at this time asking Yue Fei and others to come to help.As for the troops at Dushikou, Zhao Gou asked them to leave [-] troops to guard Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong.

Zhao Gou also asked clearly, as long as the [-] troops don't leave the city, they can support them for a month.Therefore, Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others to attack from the south and west, and attack the Jin soldiers from three sides.Wanyan Zonghan saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he also wrote to ask for reinforcements, so Wanyan Zongwang and others also came to join them one after another.

The two sides combined to attack about 20 troops, making the entire Gubeikou densely populated with human figures.At this time, the two armies were fighting. If Zhao Gou had already prepared, he might not be able to hold on.Now that the two sides are fighting fiercely, even if they die on the battlefield, they will die well.

When the battle lasted for an hour, the two armies were still tied. Zhao Gou's only tens of thousands of troops resisted the more than [-] Jin soldiers. Such a record is enough to shock the world.At this moment, the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides has gradually run out.

Whether it is the Song Army or the Jin Bing, they have been fighting for an hour. After the battle started, everyone joined in one after another.Even the soldiers in the kitchen took up arms and fought the Jin man to the death.In an hour, more than half of the people in Liangshan were dead, and even Song Jiang fell in a pool of blood.

This battle was like a city massacre, Wu Yong stood on the city wall and watched everything that happened in front of him intently.He clearly saw his former brothers fall down one by one, Wu Yong's heart was trembling, and his tears had already dried up.

However, only he can understand the pain of losing his brother.

At a glance, corpses were scattered all over the field, and no grass or vegetation could be seen.Even the weeds were covered by the corpses of the soldiers on both sides. In some places, the corpses of the dead soldiers were piled up like hills, and the blood continued to flow down.Those soldiers who have not yet died, even if they have broken legs or hands, as long as they have a little strength, they are willing to take up weapons and fight the enemy.Even if they die, they will drag Jin Bing to die together, because they will never allow Jin Bing to enter the territory of Song Dynasty for half a step.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city wall didn't feel any sense of luck. What they thought was why they were not among them and why they stayed on the city wall.Because of this pain, it was unbearable for them.He could only watch helplessly as his brothers died in battle, while he dragged on to survive.
