In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
As soon as he was forced to stop by the earth-shaking shout, Marshal Kong, who was extremely skilled in military skills, secretly cried out in dismay.
But there was no time to think about it, as dense drum beats rang out throughout the camp, and almost at the same time, the square fence of the entire Song army camp was pushed down from the inside. Then countless soldiers of the imperial camp, who had been prepared and waiting for the opportunity, poured out of the camp, shouting and charging towards the drums.
Kong Yanzhou was indeed the little Yue Fei. Seeing this situation, he knew that the surprise attack was a joke, so he changed his mind immediately. It was just a flash of thought in his mind, and before his own stunned front army could react, he gave up the attack and leaned over to ride his horse and flee to the right.
At this point, I can neither fight nor stay, so I have to leave.
Besides, it was getting dark and the rain was about to come. If he could take advantage of the situation and escape into the hilly area around Mount Tai in the east, he might even be able to save his life... And as the saying goes, as long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Kong Yanzhou still had a long time to live.
Of course, after all, Marshal Kong himself probably didn't notice that at the critical moment of life and death, he still couldn't let go of his rich and comfortable home in Yanzhou, and couldn't let go of the plates that needed twenty or thirty young maids to carry for a meal, so he instinctively chose the direction of his old nest.
However, no matter whether it was Yanzhou or Diezi, or whether they reacted quickly, it was all in vain, because as soon as they turned around and walked less than a mile, not even out of the camp of Yue Fei's troops, on the battlefield where they could still see clearly, a cavalry of four or five hundred people came towards them and went straight for Kong Yanzhou.
Kong Yanzhou only realized at this time that it was meaningless for him to react one or two steps earlier, because if he were Yue Fei, he would definitely place his elite cavalry on both wings in an attempt to outflank and block the enemy.
The only difference is that there is a single character "Zhang" on the flag in front of him. It seems that he must be an old acquaintance of his, Zhang Xian. We don't know what Zhang Xian's name was after he changed it, but before that, he was also a recognized scoundrel in Xiangzhou. I wonder if he can be tricked into doing what the storyteller calls "Guan Yu releases Cao Mengde out of loyalty"?
"Kong Liuzi! How could you fall into my hands?" The two groups of cavalrymen were too obvious on the plain battlefield. Zhang Xian had a clear target. When he saw that it was Kong Yanzhou, he was almost overjoyed and shouted on his horse. "I will kill you today and use your head to sacrifice to Zhang Xianggong and Xu Qing!"
After he finished speaking, the commander gave a whistle, and the hundreds of riders behind him shouted and accelerated.
Marshal Kong was completely helpless, so he could only hold up his spear and shout: "Follow me to kill Zhang Si, and when we return to Yanzhou, everyone will be rewarded with four wives!"
But after he said this, no one responded... You have to know that this is not right even on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, because as the main general and the Marshal of Qi supported by the Jin people, he always has hundreds of core cavalry soldiers behind him.
For no reason, Zhang Xian shouted with all his might, and his cavalrymen made a great noise, but no one responded when he shouted himself?
Therefore, even though he knew it was a life-and-death moment, Kong Yanzhou couldn't help but look back... and at first glance, he saw that Marshal Kong, who was a scoundrel and murderer when he was young, was completely panicked today, or even for the first time in his life in this battle.
It turned out that the more than one hundred armored cavalrymen behind him had fled with him before, but after running into Zhang Xian's cavalry team that had ambushed on the flank, they immediately lost their desire to fight, and each of them scattered and looked for a way out. No one paid any attention to Marshal Kong anymore.
In panic, Kong Yanzhou turned around and instinctively wanted to dismount and surrender, but unexpectedly Zhang Xian and his cavalry had already rushed to him.
The first few riders charged forward, thrusting their spears diagonally, and Marshal Kong's horse neighed and fell over.
The Qi marshal fell awkwardly on the wet and hard ground which was still warm. As soon as he turned over, several riders swarmed over him, hacking at him with swords and stabbing him with spears.
In just a moment, this legendary figure who had traveled between Song, Jin and Qi for decades in another time and space, suppressed Zhong Xiang, massacred Hunan, married his own daughter, and later actually participated in controlling the main force of the Jin army, and was not killed by the Jin people until the Wanyan Liang period... In this life, he only had time to enjoy dozens of plates before he died in this battle in Dongping Prefecture.
After his death, no one shouted for revenge for Marshal Kong. Even for the Qi army, the war situation did not become worse because of his death, because it could not get any worse.
It must be understood that the Qi army was originally surrounded and was a desperate group, making a last-ditch struggle.
Therefore, when Zhang Rong did not seize the opportunity to attack, Yue Fei had already prepared the entire army early, so that after he shouted the words "Kill Kong" that shocked the world, the so-called dying struggle was just a joke.
The rain was getting heavier and the battlefield was becoming muddy, but fortunately it was a plain area and there was still a long time before sunset. The nearly 50,000 troops from Yue and Zhang's two armies won their respective victories and immediately advanced towards each other, completely plowing up the Qi army like plowing the land.
It is said that at this time, the sun was heading west and gradually setting. Its color was golden. The ground was dry in summer, and it suddenly rained, and the color was dark and deep. The sky and the earth were hazy with rain and dust. Although there was no sight of the soldiers rushing, one could hear the neighing of horses… Yue Fei, who was almost taking a walk, led the more than a thousand Beiwei troops, which had been established only a month ago and were so-called modeled after Han Shizhong, to advance westward calmly. They arrived at a high hill with slightly undulating terrain in the plain of the battlefield, and stopped their horses on the hill in the rain, gazing at the setting sun in the west and the battlefield. Everything he saw was hazy, yet colorful. It was a rare moment to sigh at the wonders of the world, and his body and mind were shaken for a moment.
After all, at this moment, although it cannot be said that dragons are fighting in the wild and their blood is dark yellow, it can also be said that the chariot is on the high hill and my horse is dark yellow.
While a battle destined to go down in history broke out in Dongping Prefecture, the weather in Bianliang was as dull as usual and people were calm.
