Battle of Chuzhou: Wei Sheng, a famous soldier in Southern Song Dynasty, died in battle.

Battle of Chuzhou: Wei Sheng, a famous soldier in Southern Song Dynasty, died in battle.

Weisheng, a native of Suqian, Jiangsu Province, was a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty. 1 164, weisheng was surrounded by nomads from Chuzhou, and the coach Liu Bao refused to send reinforcements. Regrettably, the micro-life died in an accident.

"History of Song Dynasty" commented: "The rise of micro-students, without the salary of an armored soldier, raised thousands of rabble and hundreds of thousands of teachers who resisted gold, and died in a state, which was a great shock at that time. However, it's a pity to see you jealous of the general and die without saving him. " It can be seen that Wei Sheng started from scratch with a group of newly recruited soldiers, but he was able to defeat the elite army of nomads from time to time, and hundreds of thousands of nomads from the army could not help him. Unfortunately, Weisheng was killed by his own people.

1 127, the northern nomads conquered Kaifeng, captured Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. At the same time, Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in Shangqiu, and made suggestions for the title of Song Gaozong. Nomads from the south, the northern soldiers fought back, people from all over the country also formed a "loyal army" to help Song Jun fight.

1 134, Han Shizhong trained in Huaibei, and he was born to defect and became an archer. After that, Weisheng followed Han Shizhong to the north and defeated Nomads for many times, making outstanding achievements. 1 142, the news of "Shaoxing Peace Talks" came, and Han Shizhong dissolved the "Loyal and Righteous Army". However, Wei Sheng has not forgotten his ambition to resist gold. He often disguised himself as a businessman and went to the state of Jin to learn about the situation.

1 16 1 year, Wan Yanliang moved around Haizhou and Lianshui, recruiting soldiers, storing grain and making equipment, and had the potential to attack the Song Dynasty southward. It is suggested that Chuzhou and Haizhou should take action to raid Lianshui and Haizhou and seize the initiative. Lan Ji thought that Jin and Song had "negotiated peace" and could not destroy the reconciliation situation, so he did not adopt the proposal.

Lan Shijie did not dare to send troops, volunteered, recruited 300 strong men, re-formed the "loyalty army", and then raided Lianshui and seized the city. "History of the Song Dynasty" records: "Gather 300 righteous men, cross the Huaihe River in the north, take the Lianshui Army, and declare the court's virtue. If you don't kill one person, Lianshui people will suddenly listen."

After seizing Lianshui, Weisheng made persistent efforts and led his troops straight to Haizhou, where he fought fiercely with the nomads from there. At this time, there are tens of thousands of nomads from Haizhou, and the strength of both sides is very different, but Wei Sheng is not afraid. After a battle, nomads from the loss of more than three thousand people, most of them escaped, and the micro-life recovered Haizhou. The history book says, "If you kill more than 3,000 guards, everyone will surrender and get tens of thousands of armor."

I heard that Lianshui and Haizhou were conquered, and Meng Lingbing, a famous soldier, was sent to more than 10,000 people. The two sides fought fiercely in the suburbs of Haizhou. Micro-life lures the enemy deep, attacking from front to back. Thousands died, thousands were injured, and the town of Meng Tian was killed. Then, Yan Hongliang sent troops to attack Cangshanzhai, attracting micro-students to divide their forces and attack the city. Weisheng led the troops to rescue Cangshan, but left the main force guarding Haizhou, and the nomads from the army was defeated again.

Unwilling to fail, Yan Hongliang once again sent 200,000 troops to seize Haizhou. Micro-health organization defense, while requesting general Li Bao to send troops to help, nomads from land and water attack, win again. History says: "More than 200,000 soldiers from all walks of life sent troops to attack Haizhou, and one army cut off the pay road from the southwest of the state. There are more than 3,000 warriors riding in Yi Sheng, but they refuse to enter the Shiyan, so the Jin Army cannot enter. " Then, nomads from the defeat again, flustered.

1 164 "Longxing Peace Talks", Song and Jin stopped fighting, Haizhou was assigned, Weisheng was assigned to Chuzhou, responsible for the defense of Qingjiangkou, and was controlled by Liu Bao, the appeaser of Huaidong Road. Soon, the nomads from Qinghekou wanted to transport food, but Weisheng refused, and told Liu Bao the news and advised him to get ready to prevent the nomads from raiding.

Liu Bao didn't listen, saying that Wei Sheng's move was to undermine the "peace talks" and told him not to fight the nomads from the army. As a result, nomads from the attack, weisheng fought back, from six in the morning to four in the afternoon, regardless of the outcome. At this time, the nomads from the army wanted to reinforce Sizhou, and the micro-strength was insufficient. He asked Liu Bao to send troops to help, but he was rejected.

Weisheng fought and retreated, and broke through in the direction of Chuzhou. Nine kilometers away from Chuzhou, Wei Sheng was exhausted, unable to resist the rain of the nomads from the army and died in battle. The history book says: "This is an infantryman who rode to the temple 18 miles east of the city and fell to his death at the age of 45." That's a real pity.

It is the sorrow of the Southern Song Dynasty that Wei Sheng died in battle. Under the overall situation of "discussing peace", the generals of all walks of life were afraid to fight a bloody battle with the nomads from all walks of life, and many famous soldiers died. Wei can not only be used to fighting, but also innovate and invent. He invented the "wishful chariot", which is similar to the modern armored infantry vehicle. It can fight with skills and transport food and materials, and is a sharp weapon against the nomads from the cavalry.

With the power of the "wishful chariot", Weisheng defeated the nomads from several times. If Liu Bao refused to send reinforcements because of his lack of ability, he would not have died in battle. Song Xiaozong was very angry when Weisheng was killed. He ordered Liu Bao's property to be investigated, exiled to Hainan, and no longer transferred back to Beijing, which was a comfort to Wei Sheng.
