When the gate of the Jinbing Dazhai camp opened and a steady stream of Jurchens, Bohais, and Khitan Erlangs began to march out, Zhao Kai had already finished fighting for a while and was cleaning the battlefield!
The wave of charges just now was so exciting. Although it failed to kill Yelu Yujian with a flying ax, in terms of the effect of the charge, it was better than killing Yelu Yujian. Because if Yelu Yujian died, his soldiers would either run away or rush forward to take revenge.
If they choose revenge, it will be a single-minded charge. He wouldn't rush into battle and save people at the same time. He might still be worried about Yu Jian's safety and wondering whether to run away. This kind of half-hearted approach, used in a cavalry charge, is simply asking for defeat.
Therefore, under the impact of five hundred Song Army cavalry who were determined to fight, Yelu Yujian's soldiers could only be defeated, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and returned in miserably. He also left seventy or eighty good horses on the battlefield... These are the best Khitan horses in a hundred, with a shoulder height of more than four feet, seven or eight inches, so of course they cannot be let go!
In addition, the armor of those Khitans is not bad either. Although it is not as good as the Qingtang Haozijia, it is still top grade. Now Zhao Kai's team is expanding rapidly and is lacking good armor! So the dead have to be dragged back and stripped naked...
Zhao Kai couldn't do the work of catching horses and dragging people to death himself, so he and Guo Tiannu watched from behind with smiles. Not only are you watching people catching horses and dragging people to death (I don’t know what’s so interesting about it?), but you’re also watching your “other self” running around on the battlefield with Dong Jingang, who guest-starred as the flag bearer, showing off your power!
How could there be "another Zhao Kai"? Of course, Zhao Kai had a little trick up his sleeve. It turned out that he asked Huang Wuji to pretend to be himself to plot against Yelu Yujian. The one who threw the ax just now was not the real Zhao Kai, but Huang Wuji. Huang Wuji is about the same age and figure as Zhao Kai, but his martial arts skills are more than one level higher.
So before Zhao Kai left his camp, he asked Huang Wuji to put on a mask, and asked Dong Jingan to follow Huang Wuji carrying the banner. He originally planned to let Huang Wuji and Dong Jingang lead the charge when the small group of gold thieves came out to fight, but he didn't expect to lead Yelu Yujian... What luck can't stop it! I wonder if Wanyan Zonghan can be lured out and killed next time?
When Zhao Kai was sighing with emotion, Guo Tiannu, who had been stretching her neck to observe the situation in the Jin soldiers' camp, suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, a large group of Jin soldiers have come out of the camp... There are Khitans who have dismounted. There are Jurchen hard troops and many Jurchen cavalry, there are quite a few of them!
Your Majesty, let’s retreat quickly! "
Zhao Kai also stretched his neck and looked far away, and found that there were really many golden soldiers coming out! It seems that Yelu Yujian is not the biggest fish. Otherwise, the gold thief would not have rushed out so quickly to find a place. Huang Wuji would have shot that guy into a hedgehog. Why must he be rescued first and then consider sending troops to seek revenge? Otherwise, how can you command with a bunch of arrows on your back?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai smiled and said to Guo Tiannu: "Follow Huang Wuji and see who is coming? If Wuji can deal with it, let Wuji challenge him!"
"Here!"
Guo Tiannu responded, then took out a visor and put it on her face before driving her horse towards Huang Wuji, the fake Zhao Kai. The real Zhao Kai turned his horse's head and drove it towards the gate of his camp.
By this time, Liu Kai, Han Shizhong, Liu Ziyu, Xiang Ke, Li Xiaozhong, Liu Xi, Liu Yan, Yang Weizhong, Ma Kuo and others already knew that Zhao Kai was out and about again. So everyone gathered at the gate of the camp and looked in the direction of Huang Wuji (the fake Zhao Kai). Everyone showed a surprised and anxious expression - this king is too reckless and reckless!
Unlike the worries of these officials, the soldiers who were crowding behind the sheep and horse walls and fences of the camp to watch the battle were all high-spirited.
When Zhao Kai (Huang Wuji) killed people with flying axes and shot Yelu with arrows, these soldiers were still cheering happily!
I was even more excited when I saw 500 Song Army cavalry defeating a similar number of Jin soldiers in a sudden attack - the gold thieves were nothing more than that... It seems that a big victory is expected!
However, the officials present knew the details, because Liu Yan and Ma Kuo, who were crowding at the camp gate, both recognized Khitan characters (Jurchen characters and Khitan characters were very close), and could tell from the clothes and armor of Yelu Yujian's troops that they were surrendering. Khitan pawns of the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, most of the officials watching the excitement are not optimistic about the war situation at all.
"Are you guys waiting here for the triumphant return of the lonely king?"
Just when a group of officials were anxious to get angry, Zhao Kai's voice suddenly came over. Everyone followed the sound and found another Zhao Kai.
"Your Majesty, why are you back?"
"Your Majesty, aren't you at the front?"
"Hey, why is there a king in front of me?"
"Your Majesty, you are..."
Yes, how many kings are there?
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "The person I saw just now was Deputy Commander Huang who killed people with axes and shot Yelu with a bow and arrow. The lonely king asked him to be his substitute!"
I see!
Only then did everyone understand that it turned out that His Royal Highness the Mad King was quite clever, and he even knew how to let people pretend to be himself to plot against Yelu Yujian... Then he should also know how to just give up when he gets good, right?
Zhao Kai looked at the solemn expressions of the civil servants and generals in front of him. He could tell at a glance that they were all holding back their energy to perform meritorious deeds, so he said, "Gentlemen, the gold thief's team has left camp... How about..." While the morale of the soldiers is high, let’s fight against the thieves!”
A big war?
Are you a little anxious?
A group of civil servants and generals are a little guilty... They all know how powerful the "real gold thief" is!
Jurchens are absolutely invincible!
Zhao Kai became a little unhappy when he saw that everyone was silent. He lowered his face and said, "We traveled five hundred miles day and night. Why? The morale of the whole army is high now. It is just a drumbeat to urge the powerful enemy." At that time... the thieves have divided their troops to reach this point, and the army city will still be pacified. If the thieves can't pacify it, and they are defeated again at Niangzi Pass, how can they dare to hold the troops on Jingxing Road for a long time?"
I have to say that Zhao Kai’s analysis is still very reasonable!
Although everyone is not sure about the success or failure of pacifying the army city, if the pacification army is still there, then the golden thief is now in a more passive situation.
On the one hand, the gold thieves who cannot defeat the Pingding Army cannot send a large number of troops to Niangzi Pass; on the other hand, if the gold thieves' partial division is defeated at Niangzi Pass, then the gold thieves who besiege the Pingding Army City will be attacked from both sides. , thus getting into trouble.
Moreover, because the mountain roads around Pingding Army City and between Pingding Army and Niangziguan were too narrow, it was impossible to move large armies and use large-scale cavalry. Therefore, the gold thief's numerical advantage and cavalry advantage cannot be used.
In addition, the weather is getting hotter and rainier, and the situation will become increasingly unfavorable for the gold thieves!
"Your Majesty is wise, and I, Han Shizhong, am willing to help your Majesty eliminate thieves!"
Han Shizhong, who seemed to be the number one general under Zhao Kai, had already calculated the gains and losses, and was the first to stand up and ask for a fight.
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Then Lao Liangchen will make arrangements for the lonely king!" He looked at the generals and civilian officials around him, and then lowered his voice, "Today's battle will be commanded by Han Tongzhi... .... All kings must obey their orders, and King Gu is no exception. Anyone who dares to disobey the Korean rule will be severely punished by King Gu!"
Although Zhao Kai thought he was the "Chosen One" and was proficient in the "Four Art of War", when it came time to arrange his troops, he still felt unable to make a move. Fortunately, he had the general Han Shizhong beside him. So since the last battle of Wei County, Han Shizhong has become Zhao Kai's former enemy commander-in-chief!
The generals under Zhao Kai also knew that the king trusted Han Shizhong, so they naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so they all said in unison: "I will obey the king's order!"
...
"Wanyan! If you have the guts, come out and challenge me... Wanyan, how can you be considered a hero by hiding behind the formation? What I despise the most is your cowardice. Rat!"
Just when the real Zhao Kai handed over the command of the formation to Han Shizhong, Huang Wuji, pretending to be King Yun Zhao Kai, was leading more than 300 cavalry (the rest dragged dead men and live horses back) in the Jinbing Formation. He was yelling at me before!
And there was a translator by his side when he yelled and cursed! That's Dong Jingan. Despite his rough appearance, he is actually a "great intellectual" who is proficient in six languages including Han, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol, Tatar, and Goryeo!
So he could translate Huang Wuji's words into Jurchen words that everyone in the Jin soldiers could understand, so that these Jin soldiers would know that a great king of the Song Dynasty was really looking for a duel with their general!
...
I’m begging for a wave of recommendation votes!
