Chapter 209 Pit Killing Jurchen Soldiers Out of Shenyang
After a big battle, dozens of people were still injured by General Zhang Xinjie and General Zhang's men. There was no way, the Jurchens' bows and arrows were too powerful. They were condescending, covered by the city walls and shooting around them, and some people were still shot dead by the flying bows and arrows.
If there is a normal confrontation, although Zhang Xinjie's soldiers and horses are well-trained, they still cannot withstand the impact of Jurchen riding and shooting. It seems that his troops have not been hard enough in the past few years of training in "Shangguan Village", and they are still far different from those of Jurchens.
The reason for the living environment of the Jurchens is that they practice riding and shooting in this environment every day, and they obviously have their advantages. Compared with the Han soldiers and the ethnic groups on horseback, the gap is too obvious. Both the wolf nature and the impact force are incomparable.
Zhang Xinjie secretly made up his mind that if he could really return to the Liaodong region and become the governor of Liaodong, he would have to strengthen the cavalry and shooting exercises of the troops stationed in various garrisons. He would never be as good as the Jurchens in all aspects, at least he would have to make them powerful enough combat power!
After this battle, Jing'an Fort actually gained a lot. The first is the horses, which can harvest more than 3,000 good horses. The Jurchens sent troops, basically one person and two horses, just to have more horsepower during the battle to ensure that they can be stronger than others when charging into battle.
Moreover, the extra war horses can carry more plundering supplies when returning to the "Caohu Valley". There are too few horses and animals in the mainland, and the plundering alone is not enough to bring back the good things they want. Therefore, every time they come to "Caohu Valley" in the pass, they are well prepared, and everyone is riding on both sides.
Due to the use of poison attacks in this battle, a large number of Jurchen soldiers were captured. Zhang Xinjie ordered that he would kill all of them, and no one would be left behind! In General Zhang's mind, he determined that the Jurchens were unfamiliar wolf cubs. No matter how docile they look now, they would definitely turn against each other whenever they had the chance!
The various skills you teach them will strengthen their entire nation. Therefore, you must not do anything tolerate rape! When Zhang Xinjie was young, he spent the past two years in the Jurchen tribe, and he had a deep understanding of the human nature of these people.
So no matter who persuades them, these more than 2,000 Jurchens and all the strong soldiers of the three tribes were wiped out by the official army in one battle. Waiting for the fate of their entire tribe, they must have been annexed by other tribes.
Their women and children will surely become the spoils of others. Cattle, sheep, horses, and property will be wiped out, and the elderly will only become burdens and will be killed one by one in front of their relatives...
This is the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak and the fundamental way to survive! Everything is so realistic and the truth that will last forever! Is there any more reasonable existence in this world?
When the Jing'an Fortress official army won a great victory, Fengji Fort also won a great victory! Because Luan Bao led his team to go there, the defenders of Fengji Fort could not have imagined that this plan to wipe out the Jurchens was not deployed by Luan Tingyu, so no matter what they did, they would cooperate with them!
As long as the bloody official army has seen the evil deeds that the Jurchens have done against the people in the mainland, who doesn’t want to have a real battle with them? What’s more, this time it was an ambush to kill the enemy? There were two thousand and hundreds of people, so it was not surprising that Fengji Fort’s victory was not surprising.
One thousand Zhang Xinjie's direct troops were in charge, five hundred defenders of Fengji Fort, plus three hundred official troops brought by Luan Bao, and two hundred elite disciples of the "Bai Yao Sect". They also guided the Jurchens into the castle. After the gate was closed, they caught turtles in the jar, so that they could kill them with all their strength.
There were as many as hundreds of casualties in this battle, which was a result that no one expected. The defenders of Fengji Fort wanted to show themselves too much, but their real combat power was too poor. Therefore, when they shot the enemy, their casualties were also quite large.
Therefore, the Jurchen troops with more than 500 people were also slaughtered in the end. After the war, they saw that the beacon fire of Jing'an Fort had been ignited. Zhang Wenzhong also asked the official army of Fengji Fort to ignite the beacon tower here to inform Chenyang Zhongwei and others that rescue also needed here.
When we finally cleaned the battlefield, we only harvested 300 uninjured war horses. It is conceivable how fierce the battle situation is? Whether it is the personnel or the war horses, they are shooting at each other, and they consume a lot, which is really a lot of casualties.
After Fengji Fort won this battle, the defenders here also let the pass guards guard. Zhang Wenzhong asked Zhang Wenyuan to lead 200 direct descendants and 100 elite disciples of the "Baiyao Sect" to help guard the pass. He then led more than 1,000 troops to Jing'an Fortress and met with General Zhang Xinjie.
General Luan Tingyu, the Central Guard of Chenyang, did not fall asleep tonight, but prepared his direct troops to stop as a prefect. He ordered the Thousand Households, Generals, Guerrillas, and other generals to wear helmets and armor, to come to his mansion to have a banquet, drink and eat meat.
The opera troupe in his mansion set up a high platform in the courtyard of the mansion early in the morning. They sang until midnight when the banquet started. The generals in the audience drank big bowls in the mansion and ate meat in big mouthfuls, and were having fun. At this time, the north suddenly became popular...
Luan Tingyu looked at the beacon tower in the north of Jing'an Fort, and the fire was soaring into the sky, and he couldn't help but laugh. The officers, soldiers and generals below were also confused by Luan Tingyu's sudden laughter. What's wrong with General Luan?
Everyone looked back and saw a fire on the beacon tower in the distance, and the firelight reflected red half of the sky. Everyone couldn't help but change their colors and began to look panic on their faces. Because no one wanted to be sent to the front line to fight with the Jurchens.
Everyone is a soldier, and no one wants to fight head-on with the Jurchens. Because as long as it is a war, it indicates that casualties may occur at any time. However, these officers and soldiers are used to being pampered, and no one wants to really be enemies with the Jurchens. This is how life is free to receive military pay, which is called happiness.
Luan Tingyu looked at everyone's panic, and naturally knew what they were afraid of. Luan Tingyu shouted: "The personal soldiers obeyed the orders and beat drums to cheer. I want to gather the army and horses to rush to Jing'an Fort overnight to seize the border fortress and kill the invading enemy!"
Looking at Luan Tingyu's personal soldiers, they all began to get busy. Everyone started to beat drums and cheer. The generals did not dare to neglect them. They began to pack up their appearance and prepare to follow General Luan Tingyu's instructions!
At this time, the actors on the high platform were no longer visible. Luan Tingyu climbed onto the high platform. He looked at the dozens of generals and officials in the audience and said, "I, Luan Tingyu, are very pleased that the generals came in time. Thanks to everyone who guarded the Central Guard of Chenyang with me over the years and maintained dozens of passes around.
Today, the beacon fire in Jing'an Fortress is definitely a sign of the emergency military situation. I, Luan Tingyu, have been guarding here for ten years and a decade. The border has been stable and everyone is a meritorious minister. Today, the border crisis is in progress, and I am willing to take charge of the three armies and lead the three armies to rescue the border crisis together!
All the generals obeyed the order! Who would be willing to stay and guard the Central Guard of Chenyang here? So that we can go to Jing'an Fortress to rescue the border crisis together? Don't worry, no matter who is the left-behind general, he will also receive commendation from the court!"
Originally, none of the people were willing to go to Jing'an Fort to increase their troops and lead their troops to rescue the crisis. But when they heard that Luan Tingyu and Luan Du commander wanted to personally mobilize all the generals to go there, everyone's minds began to shake again. This is a military merit. We have been here for ten years and finally have military merits to earn.
Since everyone is going there together, I believe that this invading Jurchen army can be easily captured. Although the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, they are sparsely populated and each camps are in their own right, so there will never be too many enemies invading at one time.
General Luan decided to go out in full swing, leaving only a team of troops to guard the Central Guard of Chenyang. Then it would be safer to follow the adults, and this would make more military achievements, so why not do it?
Therefore, when Luan Tingyu asked everyone, who was willing to stay and guard the Central Guard of Chenyang, it became a situation where no one responded. Luan Tingyu looked at the generals standing below and said, "General Luan Hu, you will be burdened. Lead two thousand soldiers to guard the Central Guard of Chenyang.
The rest of the people were waiting, and went to the small schoolyard with me, and ordered troops to take charge, and went to Jing'an Fortress to rescue! The soldiers are so fast that everyone will go with a family tonight, and then reunite with their families when we return triumphantly.
If you have any unfinished thoughts, you can take a pen and paper, keep a letter from your family, and let your personal army send the letter back home. I can still agree to this convenience. Don't worry, as long as five days or as few as three days, we will definitely return in triumph!"
Originally, the military generals were not good at writing, and the deadline mentioned by Luan Tingyu and Luan Du Commander Luan was only three or five days. What kind of letters should I write? Everyone sent their personal soldiers back to the mansion to report the letter, saying that they followed General Luan Tingyu to Jing'an Fortress to rescue and returned in three or five days. Please rest assured.
Luan Tingyu had already rode a war horse with everyone and gathered at the schoolyard. When the generals arrived at the schoolyard, they realized that the schoolyard was already bright as daytime, with lanterns and torches everywhere, and ten thousand officers and soldiers gathered in the middle!
Looking at the ten thousand officers and soldiers, they were all covered with armor and put on their arms. They were packed up and stopped. They stood upright in the middle of the schoolyard, so heroic! Looking at their posture, many people knew how long they had been standing in the schoolyard.
In fact, Luan Tingyu ordered the four generals of the military academy to train the four routes, Luan Feng, Luan Yu, Luan Lei and Luan Dian, to make sure that the military academy gather in the small school yard tonight, and everyone should leave the city overnight to rescue Jing'an Fortress. That's why these generals saw this scene, and at this time, there were another beacon tower in the north that ignited fire...
Luan Tingyu and all the generals came to the General Platform together. Everyone lined up left and right, standing behind Luan Tingyu. Luan Tingyu walked to the General Platform nearest to the officers and soldiers and spoke loudly: "The officers and soldiers of the Central Guard of Chenyang will raise their troops for a thousand days and use their troops for a while!
Today, let’s see that the two borders of Jing'an Fort and Fengji Fort have been lit! That is to say, the Jurchens have attacked our two fortresses. At this time, the beacon has already started, and it is time for us soldiers to use our lives.
Can we be willing to watch our people and be bullied by the Jurchens? Are we still indifferent? Can we see the beacons ignited at the border without going to rescue? Their today is our tomorrow! So we must unite and fight for our country!"
The officials and soldiers in the audience shouted together: "We must unite and fight for our country! We must unite and fight for our country!"
These shouts resounded through the sky and also aroused the bloodiness of these border soldiers! Everyone began to get ready to do a big fight.
Luan Tingyu shouted on the general's platform: "The two generals Luan Feng and Luan Yu obey the order! You two are vanguard officials, leading the three thousand officials to lead the way, each bringing dry food for one day. To make roads open across mountains and build bridges when encountering water, you must ensure that the roads of the army behind are open and the road is smooth."
The two generals Luan Feng and Luan Yu stepped forward and received the order. They ordered three thousand troops in the small school grounds, led the way, and left the Shenyang Central Guard. They were about to rush to Jing'an Fort overnight to rescue the defenders there...
