work overtime! work overtime! Work overtime!
Just when Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, and Wanyan Yinshuke were planning how to rob the grain road, they never imagined that the Song army and civilian servants transporting grain were working overtime...and all night long. work overtime!
In the darkness, large groups of soldiers and civilians were moving forward, a lively scene of people shouting and horses neighing. On the corridor between Funiu Mountain and Jishan Mountain, nearly 80,000 soldiers and civilians, carrying 20,000 fully loaded mules and horses, marched desperately overtime, and even worked overtime at night!
This army is no longer a 996, but a continuous rotation for twelve hours a day! And you may not be able to get off work after working these twelve hours...
According to the order of a certain evil official, the distance of less than a hundred miles from Ruzhou Camp to Yique Liangcheng must be completed in one go! There is no rest in between, not even time to eat!
Everyone, including Zhao Kai himself, had to walk and eat cold rice balls at the same time. He really couldn't rest for a moment!
This road of transporting grain, which is less than a hundred miles away, would be very fast if we travel at the normal speed in two days. If we take our time, it can take three days.
Regardless of whether it takes two days or three days, the gold thieves in Dengfeng will definitely have time to react. By then, the army will encounter the enemy with more than 200,000 dan of food, and the trouble will be big!
If the battle goes unfavorably, not only will the more than 200,000 shi of food be lost, but the carts, mules and horses that transport the food will also be lost.
Qu Duan and Zhao Ding spent a lot of effort to raise these vehicles and livestock. Once lost, there is no way to replenish it in the short term. Even if the food channel is continuous, it will be difficult to transport rice.
If the granaries in Luoyang and Guangwu Mountain are empty...the consequences will be disastrous!
Therefore, Zhao Kai, a sinister official, can only ask his subordinates to work overtime and march... As long as he can transport the grain into Yique City before the Jin soldiers attack the east bank of Yichuan, then his chances of winning will be That’s big!
Even if Wanyan Zonghan and his whole group arrive, he is not afraid! The worst case scenario is to set up a very large Queyue Formation with your back to Yichuan - there are many bed crossbows placed on the walls of Yique City, just dismantle them and transport them to the east bank of Yichuan.
If the gold thief still wants to have a taste of "killing people in bunches", just come!
In order to complete the more than one hundred miles within twelve hours and slow down the Jin soldiers' attack as much as possible, Qu Duan, Yue Fei, Dong Jingang and others also used their brains and selected three Noon on the tenth day of the lunar month, rather than early morning, is the time for the army to set off.
Because they also knew that Jishan in the north could not stop the small group of Jin soldiers' reconnaissance cavalry, they would definitely be able to detect the Song army's brigade once it set off.
However, there was still a process for the news to be transmitted from the cavalry on the front line to the commander of the Jin army. It would be good for Wanyan Zonghan to get the news in the evening of that day.
And Wanyan Zonghan would probably not order his army to set off immediately... because the grain transport team led by Zhao Kai was huge, with more than 80,000 officers and soldiers plus civilians!
Faced with so many Song troops, Zong Han didn't dare to just send thousands of people out to rob the road... Wouldn't that mean giving away people's lives?
He would probably mobilize tens of thousands of gold soldiers from the companies and camps from Dengfeng to Mi County. No matter how fast he moved, it would already be the early morning of the next day when all the troops were mobilized. If there is still a little delay, it would be good to be dispatched on the morning of the 11th.
By that time, Zhao Kai's grain transport team had already arrived on the east bank of Yichuan!
So this class must be added!
Zhao Kai, a sinister official who made his 80,000 people work overtime all night and traveled for twelve hours without rest, was also an energetic workaholic himself.
He is currently riding a horse, advancing with his female squadron and the Yulin cavalry. In order to reopen the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai really went all out. Not only did he often go to battle in person, but he also worked day and night... working as an official day and night, regardless of remuneration!
He doesn't even know how much money his official family earns in a month? No one has told him about this problem...and it seems that he hasn't seen much money since he left Kaifeng Mansion!
What's even worse is that Zhao Kai seems to be "starting a business with debt" and now owes more than 10 million acres of farmland!
And in order to encourage the rural soldiers and people in Ruzhou, he issued a bunch of bad checks... These are all liabilities!
I really don’t know when I can pay it off?
What’s even more inhumane is that in his line of work, no matter how hard, tiring or losing money you have, you have to work hard to the end, and you can’t complain about being tired...
Regardless of remuneration, Zhao Kai, who has not worked as an official day and night, and is still in debt to start a business, is now enjoying it... Although at the turn of the twelve o'clock, the debt is about to reach a new high, but he cannot hide it. That face was full of energy.
Surrounding his Yulin cavalry were all large groups of infantry and grain transport teams marching silently, driving mules, horses and carts past. And this group of soldiers and minzhuang who are also working overtime have now been "brainwashed" and have been given "land futures" or promised to have land to share. So every one of them felt as if they had been given chicken blood, and they didn’t complain or feel tired.
There are also some officials who are "deeply poisoned". They march at night while cheering up the soldiers and civilians below.
"Sweat more, bleed less... Let's work harder and walk the hundred miles in one breath. When we get to Yique City, we can drink, eat meat and sleep for a whole day and a night!"
"We just need to work harder to transport the grain to Yique, and the next consumption will kill the golden thief! Once the golden thief retreats, they can divide the fields... This little road is nothing. ? From now on, we will go all the way to Huanglong Mansion! We will find all the gold thieves’ lairs!"
"We have plenty of strength. The government provides us with rice and flour. How about walking a little further? After we finish delivering this rice grain, we have to fight a gold thief to use up all this strength!"
There were also voices with Zhongzhou accents echoing in the queue.
"Zhong, I've already joined the official family to conquer the world, why should I be afraid of walking?"
"As long as the officials don't want me, I can go to the Black Dragon Mansion, not to mention the Huanglong Mansion!"
"I understand, why should I be afraid of suffering when conquering the world? If you become a hero, it will be a blessing for your descendants..."
Feudal consciousness is very high!
If you want to conquer the world, you are not afraid of death, how can you still be afraid of suffering?
If you conquer the world, you will be able to achieve freedom of wealth, you will be able to jump across classes, and you will be able to counterattack and marry Bai Fumei!
Zhao Kai rode on his horse and looked at his team with satisfaction... They were not elites at all, but they had the same high morale as the elites who had defeated invincible opponents all over the world.
Morale can be converted into combat effectiveness... Zhao Kai remembered that Napoleon once said that three points of morale equals one point of combat effectiveness!
Now it seems that Napoleon was right! The morale of this ragtag group has increased... At the current speed, they can cover 100 miles in 10 hours and deliver food to Yique City.
If we march like this 10 more times, the granaries in Luoyang and Guangwu Mountain will be full!
With food, I can spend it with the gold thieves in Zhongzhou...while spending it, I will step up training of the army! After a year or two, a mob can become an elite!
Therefore, for Zhao Kai, morale is equal to time, equal to victory, and equal to combat effectiveness!
In the darkness, three or four cavalrymen galloped over, exchanged commands with the leading Yulin cavalry, and headed straight for Zhao Kai. These cavalrymen were all sweating profusely, and it seemed that they had come a long way.
They reined up their horses in front of Zhao Kai, then crossed their arms and saluted on the horses, and loudly announced together: "The king's capital controls the military report!"
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Li Fuchen, the captain of Zhao Kai's consort.
The commander of the royal capital is Wang Yuan. He is still called the commander of the right capital of the Tiance Army, but in fact he is actually the commander and the commander of the Henan Prefecture.
These days, he is leading troops to garrison in Yingyang and Yique Liangcheng.
Yingyang is located to the west of Dengfeng and east of Yichuan. It is originally an inconspicuous small town. After the Jin thieves stationed troops and ascended the throne, they became the outpost for the Song army to monitor the Jin soldiers.
So Wang Yuan sent a general to garrison Yingyang, and at the same time sent cavalry to monitor the situation of the Jinbing camp to the east.
If the Jin soldiers were to attack eastward, it was impossible for Yingyang not to know about it.
While Li Fuchen opened the bamboo tube, he called two Yulin riders to hold lanterns for him. He took out the military newspaper from the bamboo tube, unfolded it, and read it by the light of the lantern.
This military report was written in secret language - the civilian officials of the Song Dynasty were not good at commanding operations in a serious manner, but they were still very good at playing word games, so secret words were often used to transmit information before the army.
For example, if this collection of poems is used as a code book, there will be a series of numbers on the military newspaper, which means which page, which line, and which word. This secret military message was intercepted by the gold thief, but he couldn't understand it.
Li Fuchen carried the corresponding collection of poems with him, so he translated them quickly. Then he rode his horse to Zhao Kai and reported in a low voice: "Guan family, as of 1 hour yesterday, there was no sign of the gold thief's camp sending troops!"
"Great!" Zhao Kai exhaled, "It seems that this trip is safe and sound!"
To be honest, Zhao Kai is still a little afraid of the decisive battle with Jin Bing... He is not as strong as others! If he could survive and win, why wouldn't he?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai immediately shouted to the Yulin knights around him: "Send orders to all the troops to speed up the march... We must reach the bridgehead on the east bank of Yichuan before noon tomorrow!"
"Here!"
A group of young Yulin cavalry responded loudly and left. Everyone was extremely excited and thought that a victory was already within their reach.
But none of them expected that on this night, 3,000 female real soldiers led by Wanyan Yinshuke and the same number of Ali Xi soldiers had quietly sneaked into the vast Jishan Mountain under the cover of night and pounced on them. To the unsuspecting Linru Town!
And more golden soldiers are still preparing to attack overnight - isn't it just working overtime? This generation of Jurchens are still crazy about working overtime!
When the sky gets brighter, tens of thousands of golden thieves cavalry will rush towards the east bank of Yichuan like a tide!
And by that time, the contact between Zhao Kai and Ruzhou will also be cut off by Wanyan Yinshuke!
