The distance of only seventy miles was enough for the Jin Army's cavalry to gallop for an hour.
But when they were about to send out troops from the east and west armies together for a decisive battle according to their previous plan, they failed to do so.
The reason is that a Song army of about 30,000 people suddenly came from the north of Bianliang City near Chenqiao Town, took advantage of the night to walk south on the ice, broke through the blockade and entered Bianliang City.
During this period of time, there were countless reinforcements who wanted to rush into Bianliang City, but in fact only Zhang Shuye successfully entered the city with more than ten thousand rebels.
The reason why it affected the Jin army's decision-making was because the person leading the army was Wang Zhen!
This was an old friend of the West Route Army. Nianhan could not be captured after 200 days of siege, and all nine sieges ended in disastrous defeat.
Moreover, he brought 30,000 selected Jingyuan troops this time, and their combat effectiveness was far beyond what the defenders in the city could match.
This can be seen from the fact that his troops can directly rush away from Wanyan Yanmu's troops who are responsible for intercepting.
The Jin army originally planned to leave only a small number of troops and horses to besiege Bianliang City, but now with such a variable, more troops and horses must be left behind.
Exactly how much to keep and who to keep is a matter of debate.
You don't need to ask to know that Li Yunze must have arranged for Wang Zhen's troops to take a detour and rush into Bianliang City.
Ever since he learned about the Jin Army's plan to wait for work, he was considering how to divide and weaken the Jin Army's strength.
The previous fishing attack on Yin Shuke and the dispatch of Wang Zhen to Bianliang City were all for this purpose.
On the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Jingkang, Wang Zhen launched two night attacks one after another, finally ending the quarrel between the Jin army.
Yin Shuke was asked to perform meritorious service and led the more than 20,000 remnant soldiers he brought back, as well as the soldiers and horses left to him by Nian Han, to garrison the Yuetai camp.
The purpose was not to block Bianliang City, but to prevent Wang Zhen's troops from leaving the city to attack the rear route.
The deeper meaning is that when the Western Route Army suffered heavy losses one after another, Nianhan began to secretly maintain a backup plan.
After that, the entire East Route Army, as well as the West Route Army headquarters in Nianhan, totaling 140,000 households and about 100,000 soldiers and horses, marched westward in a mighty manner and arrived outside Zhongmou City.
The two sides launched a decisive battle in the wilderness outside Zhongmou City that would determine the fate of the country.
"Wushu." The head coach of the Eastern Route Army, Wan Libu, asked his younger brother, "Have you met King Kang, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Looking at the flag fluttering in the wind on the wall of Zhongmu City in the distance, Wanyan Wushu clenched his fists, "Second brother, it's my fault. I recognized the wrong person and shouldn't have let him go."
"I'm not asking you this." Olibu coughed a few times, "I'm just asking you what kind of person he is."
"The archery skills are very good." This was Wanyan Wushu's most intuitive impression of Li Yunze, and then he pondered briefly, "The eyes are very unruly. It's not like other people from the Song Dynasty who were scared to death when they saw us. Then King Kang is here for me We have nothing to fear in our camp.”
"Be bold and take risks."
Oli nodded, and then asked, "What else?"
Wanyan Wushu thought more seriously, "He has the aura of a superior person..."
Before speaking, he was shocked to see the flag on the wall of Zhongmu City in the distance disappear.
Just when he was confused, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami came from the Nuo army formation of the Song Army in the distance.
In a short time, Li Yunze's flag came out of the city.
"Sure enough, you are very brave." Seeing this scene, Yi Li burst out laughing. "The officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in Bianliang City only knew how to send gold, silver and women to seek peace, but this King Kang dared to go into battle in person. Just because of this , I also admire him."
After saying his admiration, Yi Libu suppressed his smile and said, "That's why we must not keep him!"
Throughout the dynasties, whether it was a Central Plains dynasty or a country founded by barbarians from the frontiers, there would always be a group of outstanding people emerging when a country was founded.
For example, the Jin people who migrated from Tunguska, the group of people they founded the country are also outstanding in ability.
Yi Li's inability to achieve the position of head coach of the Eastern Route Army relied not only on his status as the second prince, but also on his ability to convince the public.
Here in the Jin Kingdom, birth is higher than ability, and that will only happen after Confucianism takes the initiative.
He could see clearly that the Song Kingdom was richer than the Liao Kingdom, but worse than the Liao Kingdom. biquge.biz
Now the only one who can bring the Song Kingdom back to the right path in the quagmire is King Kang on the opposite side.
If you are from Song Dynasty, you will definitely cheer for King Kang.
But his golden man is a sworn enemy, so he can only be killed before he becomes the leader of the country.
In the way of thinking of the Jin people, a prince who has a large number of troops and is so capable will of course become the king of the country.
As for ancestral patriarchal laws and Confucian teachings, the Jin people said they didn't understand.
The one who has the ability should be the boss, otherwise the people below will not follow you.
"Second brother." Wanyan Wushu, with flames in his eyes, tightly grasped the riding crop in his hand, "I'm going to chop him."
"You are still young." Oli smiled and said, "Watch carefully and study hard."
Li Yunze is already well prepared.
Except for some geniuses who are born with true knowledge, such as a certain champion named Huo. Most generals' combat command abilities require continuous learning and re-learning.
For example, Li Yunze, as the leader of a study group when he was in school, could not even arrange his own study group well.
After that, I also practiced all the way, studied all the way, and received guidance from famous teachers, and then I gradually gained the ability to command large armies in combat.
Not to mention the current era of cold weapons, even in the era of radio, commanding a large corps with more than 10,000 troops is an extremely difficult task.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, his commanding ability was comparable to that of Qiangu Perfect Man Kong Yiqi. He could barely command thousands of people. During battles, he relied on the help of many famous generals.
In the world of Dream of Red Mansions, he can command up to 10,000 people. In the later period, the number of people increased, but not much. When fighting, it all depends on experience and the opponent is too bad.
In the world of Jingnan, this is where Li Yunze's commanding ability has truly improved.
He received careful instruction from Zhu Di, and at the same time he was assigned many famous teachers to teach him systematically.
After that, he had extremely sufficient practical experience in mentoring and mentoring, as well as his own practical classes.
After arriving in the Yashan world, Li Yunze's ability in this area was already as smooth as an arm and a finger.
Until now, even though the Song army that appeared on the battlefield at this time far exceeded 200,000 and spread out seemingly endlessly, he was still able to arrange it calmly.
"Zhang Jun is on the left, Li Yanxian is on the right, and Yue Fei's army is in the middle."
Li Yunze formed a V-shaped battle formation, commonly known as the Crane Wing Formation.
The purpose of adopting this battle formation is very clear, that is to tell the opponent, Yi Li, to come and hit me.
What the Jin Army is best at is attacking one point and destroying it completely.
Therefore, the brutal attack of their cavalry group is known as the most terrifying attack method in the entire East Asia in this era.
Li Yunze gave them a chance to use their advantage.
He himself is in the middle. Once he is broken through here, the entire Song army will inevitably be shaken.
For the Jin Army, that was naturally a great victory.
But if they can't break through, the Song troops on both wings will come together. The result will be to completely surround the Jin troops who rush into the formation and destroy these cavalry that have lost their mobility.
Therefore, this is the obvious trap Li Yunze laid for Jin Jun.
It depends on whether they can jump or not.
O'Li didn't agree very happily.
"Marshal." Oli found Nianhan first and asked in a slightly arrogant tone, "How about leaving the left side to the marshal?"
The Jin people established their country by force, and the Western Route Army suffered heavy losses one after another, resulting in very heavy losses. In this case, even if Nianhan is the marshal, Yili's attitude toward him will naturally change with his strength.
The expressionless Nianhan nodded, "Yes."
He had already started making follow-up arrangements before coming here. He left the last main force of the West Route Army to Yin Shuke.
The soldiers and horses brought here at this time seem to be as many as 40,000 households, but in fact they are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.
When Nianhan left, Olibu chuckled and told Wanyan Wushu, "Fourth brother, take Han Chang and Wulin Datai to the right."
Wanyan Wushu immediately saluted and responded, "Accept the order."
Wulinda Taiyu was a member of the East Route Army's Wanhu family, and he was a brother of Wulindazanmo, the envoy of the East Route Army. They both had the surname Wulinda.
At this time, Jin Jun's response was already clear.
Nianhan's 40,000 households and more than 20,000 people carried the left side, and Wanyanwushu's 30,000 households also carried more than 20,000 people on the right side.
Then he couldn't help himself and personally led more than 50,000 people from 70,000 households to attack Li Yunze's formation.
He had only one purpose, to kill King Kang and completely cut off the last hope of the Song Dynasty.
The east wind blows and the war drums beat.
The melodious sound of horns resounded throughout the winter wilderness.
Although there were few people, because the cavalry was the main force, the Jin army held the initiative.
They can fight if they want, and if they want to leave, the Song army won't be able to catch up.
As for Han Shizhong's cavalry, they are still insignificant.
Nianhan was the first to take action. He launched a violent attack like a storm and defeated several Song army formations in a short period of time. It fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the West Route Army and his own command ability that was no less than that of Lou Shi.
What he did was more of a statement of attitude.
'Although our West Route Army only has more than 20,000 troops, we are working hard to fight the war. '
Wanyan Wushu, who was still very young, didn't understand this. I thought it was the old man who was trying to impress me, so he immediately urged all the ministries to launch a swift attack.
While the offensives from both sides were entangling the two wings of the Song Army, they were also constantly driving the two wings outwards, creating larger and more gaps in the middle.
When the gap reached nearly ten miles, Oli Bu finally made a move.
Tens of thousands of the Eastern Route Army, which had not been attacked by Li Yunze before, rushed straight towards the Song Army's central army like a landslide.
Of course, there can't be nothing along the way for them to rush all the way to Li Yunze.
In fact, there were all large and small Song army formations along the way. After the war started, the Jin army had to pay a bloody price for every step forward.
Not relying on past experience, Oli believed that he would be able to rush to Li Yunze's Chinese army formation with the loss of at most a few thousand men.
But as the flag got closer and closer, his expression became darker and darker.
Because the losses along the way had far exceeded his estimate.
"He put all the elites in front of him to make consumables?"
Passing by a defeated Song Army formation, Yi Libu looked at the Song Army soldiers lying on the hard ground wearing strong iron armor and expensive cotton and silk clothes. He was really puzzled.
He looked in the direction of Li Yunze in a daze and murmured to himself, "What do you think of throwing away elite warriors so easily?"
