choke element

The Mongolian army in the east seems to be coming up while chopping melons and vegetables.Ding Haijun in the west yelled that they were ordered to come to the rescue and suppress the rebels on behalf of the servants, but their intentions were obvious.

The generals and school who were ordered to be in charge of the two directions originally sent people rushing to return the letter for help, but soon there was no sound, only the broken soldiers walked around in large groups.

Pu San Anzhen could only sneer, this situation is really ridiculous.

Not long after he arrived in Hebei, he rectified his troops and went south to Shandong. Although the result was unsatisfactory, he had a confrontation with He Dinghai.Now it has been painstakingly managed for a year, thinking that it can show the might of Wu, but who knows that the army will collapse immediately if it is slightly alarmed.

After training as a soldier for a year, the result is not as good as before.

Is there anything more absurd than this in the world?

If you think about it carefully, it's actually not absurd.

The decline of the Jurchens is the inevitable result of the growing strength of the Dajin Kingdom.With the stability of the country and the vast territory, the high-status Jurchen nobles are immersed in a state of stability and prosperity, while the grassroots Jurchens are constantly integrated into the farming environment, losing the soil for shooting and hunting, and at the same time losing their desire for war and plunder.Since the Sejong Dynasty, the Jin army has taken in the Liao and Han people, soldiers from foreign tribes, and the proportion of Jurchens in the army has continued to decrease.

When the Great Mongol Kingdom rose from the plateau, the Jin army lost consecutive battles with it, and the number of casualties would be hundreds of thousands.Among them, the absolute number of Jurchens is not high, but because the total population of Jurchens is limited, their relative proportions are quite terrifying.It can be said that among the Jurchens, the vigorous warriors who have served in the frontier for generations have already been ruined by the imperial court.

Under such circumstances, Pu San Anzhen used strong means to gather Hebei Bameng'an, and brought a large number of Jurchen strong men into the army for strict training.During the process, the military prefectures in Hebei were in turmoil near and far. In some Jurchen households, if all the men were strong, they immediately took everything, so that the neighbors were weeping, and the road was full of complaints.

From the perspective of Pusan ​​Anzhen, after he failed to expand to Shandong, he learned from the pain and learned from the pain, so he followed Guo Ning's military household system to rebuild Meng'an Mouke, replacing the original Han'er soldiers with Jurchens whom he believed to be reliable. Strict training is necessary for Da Jin Guo to cheer up.

But if you think about it from the standpoint of those ordinary Jurchens, the times have changed, so it's useless to ask for swords, is it?

When Guo Ning arrived in Shandong, he saw that the local Jurchen Moke was impoverished, making a living by providing water for private merchants on the sea.The same is true for most of the Jurchens in Hebei.They may be farmers, merchants, petty officials, or even poor people who work as tenants, except that they are not warriors.

They haven't touched a weapon in generations.

Even if they have gone through rigorous training and are forcibly shaped into warriors, can they really fight?Do you really want to fight?

Can they be like the Mongols, with barbaric blood, eager to plunder and slaughter?Can they be like the soldiers of the Ding Navy, who have suffered so much in the world and are eager to reverse their fate by fighting?
Pu San Anzhen believes that the answer should be positive.So he had the courage to lead his troops into battle and reach the central capital.But now he knows that the vast majority of Jurchens are not as he thought.

Obviously there were more Jurchens, and it was clear that the mound, at least the narrow terrain to the east of the mound, was not difficult to defend, but when the soldiers of the Hebei army saw the Mongols and Han rushing towards them, they felt that they had no strength at all.They didn't have the will to resist at all. They either ran away screaming, or begged for mercy in despair.

Only a few guards around Pu San Anzhen were still barely keeping the queue.

These people are not soldiers recruited by Pu San Anzhen in Hebei, but private soldiers who are the core force of the Pu San family.Servant Anzhen relied on this force to shelter the fleeing Tu Danyi in Zhongdu, and even Hu Shahu didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Pu San Anzhen felt that with this real elite team in hand, there was always a chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, the Jurchens who fled to the two sides retreated again and again, those heartbroken people lost their direction and subconsciously gathered towards the place where the general was.In a blink of an eye, countless people crowded around Shuai Qi and formed a group.

Even in the dark, this is too conspicuous!
Servant Anzhen repeatedly shouted orders to lower the commander-in-chief's flag, blew out the pine torches, and then took off her brocade robes and joined the ranks of guards.But the lineup of the guards with their distinctive armor was the best target in itself. When the rout soldiers turned back, they saw them at a glance, and they kept gathering.

"Fucking disperse! Gathering together like this, are you afraid that the enemies on both sides will not have the direction to charge?" Pu San Anzhen cursed angrily, and then pointed at the subordinates around him: "Go, let them disperse , don’t stop me from going down the mountain! Let’s go quickly, and kill anyone who stands in our way!”

The subordinates looked at each other.

It's true that they are cronies and private soldiers who have followed the Pusan ​​family for many years, but because they are cronies, they can more and more see the problem of Pusan ​​Anzhen.

This one of the few generals of the Great Jin Kingdom has outstanding talents in both military and political fields. When it comes to strategizing, he really has insight that ordinary people can't match.It's a pity that he enjoyed wealth and honor since he was a child, and rarely experienced hardships, so no matter how heroic he is on weekdays, he often faints at critical moments.

Under the gradually dimming night, thousands of Jurchen routs were being driven back to the top of the high slope.The spirits of these people are all broken, and they have already regarded the last elite in this army as their last support, so why would they follow orders and disperse?If you kill people with a knife at this time, how do you know that these soldiers will not be desperate to fight back?

Now there are Mongols in the east like wolves and tigers, and the Ding Navy is fierce in the west. Seeing that these two families are scrambling to climb the high slope, it is a matter of front and back.

The Mongols are naturally a terrifying and powerful enemy. No one thinks that the loss of the thousand people just now will hurt the powerful regime that dominates the grassland.And the strength of the navy is beyond everyone's imagination.They can even defeat the cowardly Xue army!Such a powerful army is in Shandong, and my servant San Xuanshi once planned their territory?

None of the soldiers is a fool, and no one thinks that it is possible for their own side to repel the enemy and swarm the servants to disperse the emissaries to escape.At best, keep the Pu San Xuan envoy from dying in the hands of the rout soldiers. If they can be sold for a while, maybe everyone can still have a chance to survive.

Taking [-] steps back, even if the envoys protect the servants and break through the flanking attack of the two armies, do they still have to flee to the wilderness, hoping to escape the pursuit of the Qing cavalry?
I have seen the cavalry of the Mongols, the cavalry of the Ding Navy, and the guards!
Everyone's thoughts turned sharply, several guard commanders in fine armor didn't move a little, so the other guards didn't move either.

At this time, the important generals in the Hebei army did not know where they went, and they were still working hard, only the servants stayed at home.

This fierce general of the same family as the servant San Anzhen fought back and forth for a long time around a collapsed ancient pagoda on the edge of Lishigang, as if he couldn't run out of strength.His left arm was slashed with a machete, and a huge bloody gash opened immediately. The muscles and tendons inside the bloody hole were all broken, and the pale bones could be seen, and the blood gushed out like a waterfall.But he shouted loudly, and slashed at the Mongols who were trying to rush up from the bottom of the mountain path with one knife after another.

The Mongol below suddenly threw a torch up, and the flame illuminated his entire figure.

Immediately, several arrows flew at the same time, penetrating into his head, abdomen and shoulders.Servant Sanliu dropped his straight knife and fell to the ground.He looked at the sky, but it was too dark to see anything.

Beside him, there were the shouts of the Mongols, the crash of iron cavalry, and even the neighing of horses. The reins of a horse were pulled by the owner forcefully, and with some unwillingness, it took one step forward, two steps back, and stepped across the ground. The servant on the slope stayed home, causing his consciousness to completely dissipate.

Meng Nayan, who was leading the horse, was covered in blood and looked fierce. He was Shiji Hutuhu who had previously commanded the cowardly Xue army to attack.

He was faced with an unbearable humiliation from his previous failure, but Genghis Khan gave him a second chance, and he had to seize it firmly.

When he led his troops through the obstacles of servants staying at home and stood on the top platform of Lishigang, all the Jurchens who saw him fell silent.But Shijihutuhu looked past them and landed on the east side of the platform.In that direction, Ding Haijun followed closely behind a bearded general and appeared almost at the same time.
