Han Shizhong was really dumbfounded after hearing what Zhao Kai said.
Why does this great king listen so much to a rough guy like me? Qin Hui, Chen Ji, Lu Yihao, and Cai Mao said so much, but he didn't even listen to a few words. I just reminded him to be cautious and not to get carried away as soon as he won the battle. He personally went to the front enemy camp to keep an eye on it, and planned to personally supervise the army to clear the way... This time, the civilian and military generals in the Niangziguan Army could be used. They all fell in.
The big guy has suffered a lot following the king this time. He came from Xiangzhou and traveled more than 500 miles. There was no good food or good sleep, and he had to be extremely careful. After arriving at Niangziguan and resting for one night, the Jin soldiers attacked and it was another full day of hard fighting. After finally repelling the Jin soldiers, Zhao Kai is about to enter the former army camp in person!
This is not Zhao Kai's problem alone...the group of generals, officials and officials below must follow him!
The king has gone deep into the front line, how can they still sleep peacefully in the rear? This doesn't seem loyal enough! Are you tired of being an official?
So as soon as Zhao Kai moved his nest, the prominent people below him had to go to the former army camp with personal guards to sleep in tents... and they had to wait for Zhao Kai to sleep peacefully before they dared to wear their clothes. Go on for a little while.
If Zhao Kai is too energetic and can't sleep, they and others will have to pretend to be diligent and loyal... Your Majesty is stationed in the front army camp, so they are not allowed to protect him by wearing strong armor?
So tonight, I really don’t know how many people are going to complain in their hearts about Han Shizhong who talks nonsense!
Zhao Kai was in high spirits, and he was even more excited, so Han Shizhong couldn't take back what he said. Not only could he not take it back, he had to be busy arranging for Zhao Kai to move to the former army camp. thing.
This is a lot of trouble!
The first step was, of course, to occupy the camp left by the gold thief. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Han Shizhong did not dare to let the troops who had fought during the day occupy the camp. He had to use fresh troops.
Therefore, Han Shizhong mobilized a total of 2,000 elite soldiers from his direct generals and the cavalry generals led by the two veteran generals Liu Yan and Yang Weizhong into the camp left by the gold thieves. After these new troops enter the camp, they will first put out the flames everywhere, and then carefully clean the camp.
After the cleanup is completed, the defense of the camp must be strengthened... The camp where the king is located is of course the most critical place and must be strictly protected. This is a matter of attitude!
Han Shizhong had carefully observed the camp just now and found that the camp was small and dilapidated, the trenches were narrow and shallow, and the fences were short and thin. If it was not reinforced, it would look very unreliable.
Therefore, Han Shizhong immediately formulated a plan to strengthen the fortress.
He first asked people to pull all the 500 carts brought by Zhao Kai's army from Niangziguan City to the former army camp, and then used them to form a circle inside the camp fence, and then moved the carts to the side. Turn over and use the bottom of the car as a frame and a fighting board.
Outside the "cart formation" surrounding the city, Han Shizhong ordered people to scatter a lot of iron and wooden caltrops.
Later, he ordered people to place some anti-carrying guns outside the large cart circle - because the number of anti-carrying guns was not large enough, they did not form a circle, but placed some sparsely.
Within the large cart circle, there is also a channel for cavalry to patrol and dispatch.
Within this passage is the camp of 2,000 cavalry commanded by Han Shizhong, Liu Yan, and Yang Weizhong. The 2,000 cavalry were divided into four divisions, looking in the east, south, west and north directions respectively.
In the middle of the camps of the four cavalry units, there is a "forest of spears" surrounded by spears inserted into the soil and tied with ropes - this was the original defense method for the perimeter of the Liao Emperor's tent, and was used by Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang were brought to Zhao Kai's army, and now they have become the last line of defense to protect Zhao Kai.
In the forest of guns, in addition to Zhao Kai's tooth tents and the tents of Zhao Kai's personal soldiers, there were also many open spaces left for the generals accompanying the expedition and the father and son Liu Kai and Liu Ziyu to come and camp with their personal soldiers... ....Han Shizhong even divided areas for the generals who accompanied him.
Except for Ma Kuo, who was named by Zhao Kai to stay at Niangzi Pass, all other officers above the rank of general had to follow Zhao Kai to the front camp to spend the night. These people, plus their own soldiers, plus the 500 soldiers Zhao Kai himself brought to the front camp, totaled more than a thousand people. They set up hundreds of tents and covered the area within the "Gunlin". Stuffed to the brim.
By the time all the arrangements were completed, it was already dark. However, in this camp, the lights are bright, and from a distance, the stars are dotted like stars in the sky.
"As expected, Malangjun, the Song people have indeed occupied the camp we abandoned!"
Just to the west of Zhao Kai's camp, on a hillside beside the water, Yelu Yu, who endured the pain in his back and put on double-layered heavy armor again, was accompanying Wanyan Sheye to explore the enemy's situation.
At the foot of the rather steep hillside where the two of them were, 2,700 cavalrymen had already formed a long line on the official road beside the water. The man held his hat, the horse wrapped its hooves, and there was no lantern or torch, just lurking quietly in the night.
In addition, there are 300 Jurchen soldiers scattered in the valley west of the camp that Shiyema abandoned yesterday afternoon, blocking the Song people's sentries and horses from penetrating hard. The individual abilities of these Jurchen warriors are so strong that the Song army's sentinels and hard detectives cannot compare. Therefore, with them covering the front, Shi Yema would not have to worry about the Song people discovering that he had left and returned, and then came back secretly.
"A certain family has long expected that the Song people will occupy that camp," Shiyama said proudly, looking at the dots of firelight in the distance, "because this camp is blocking the west entrance of the open valley where the lady passes. Face exit... If the Song Dynasty people also built a pass here, Niangzi Pass would really be a natural hazard."
Niangzi Pass was built by Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin's sister. The purpose of building the pass at that time was to defend Dou Jiande in Hebei Province, so it was enough to guard the opening to the east. If a pass is also built at the entrance to the west, the cost will be too high - the pass cannot be built in the valley beside the rolling water (it will be flooded if there is a flood). It has to be built on the hillside. How much will it cost? money?
However, when the Song army was about to advance west along Jingxing Road, it was necessary to guard the entrance to the relatively open valley under Niangziguan.
Because large armies can be stationed in the valley and grain can be piled up. With this rear stronghold, the Song army could continue to advance towards Pingding Military City.
Shu Yema, who had calculated this point accurately, designed this "returning gun"!
"Shuye Ma Langjun," Yelu Yu saw that his lumbar spine was in severe pain, but he still had to pretend to charge for Dajin and actively invited him to fight, "Let's give the first battle tonight to a certain family! "
Shu Yema glanced at him and chuckled: "Okay, don't move your waist anymore... Just bring a few people to guard the back. Let's see how a certain family attacks Song Ying at night and kills him." N was caught off guard!"
...
The cavalry unit led by Liu Bodhisattva, who was assigned by Han Shizhong to guard the west side of the former army camp, was the one who persuaded Guo Tiannu to return. He has been promoted now, and he is even married to Zhao Kai - Guo Tiannu is nominally his daughter, and if you have merit in giving a daughter, why not become a general? In addition to his official position, he also received the eighth-grade Atsushiro, who became the ambassador. With some hard work and Guo Tiannu's pillow, it's not necessarily a side job.
By then, you will probably be able to open a general store!
So Liu Bodhisattva has been very active these days. When he was resting in Xiangzhou, he broke the sexual precept and married himself a wife. He planned to give Guo Tiannu a few brothers - she had to be responsible for supporting a small child. Bros!
When he was on duty in the army, he had a bad face all day long, finding faults horizontally and vertically. Behind his back, his subordinates no longer called him Liu Bodhisattva, but instead called him Liu King of Hell!
Tonight, Liu Yan Wang's "son-in-law" Zhao Kai was sleeping with his "daughter" Guo Tiannv in the "Lin of Guns". He had to be more active and guarded, so that no one could disturb the good thing—— Guo Tiannu must conceive a son as soon as possible!
Liu Bodhisattva, who was just thinking about having his grandson, suddenly felt the ground start to shake for some reason! At first, he thought it was because he was old and had worked too hard for the country during this period, so he couldn't stand still. Then he took a torch from a soldier beside him, lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that the pebbles under his feet were trembling slightly!
This is not an illusion, there is a large group of cavalry approaching!
Just when Liu Bodhisattva was about to scream, someone was already ahead of him. After a harsh whistle, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack!"
