Night attack? There's drama!
After hearing what Wanyan Loushi said, Wanyan Xiebao also felt his eyes light up.
"Yes, yes!" Wanyan Xianbao said, "What the recruiter said is absolutely true! What the Song people relied on was nothing more than sharp firearms... Their gunpowder was more powerful than ours, and they had more explosive pots than us. , their big barrels are something we don’t have, but those firearms can only exert their power in the daytime when we can clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. As soon as it gets dark, who the hell knows where to throw the bombs? Where to throw the big barrels? Fight? Moreover, the Song Army and Yue Fei's troops did not have many troops, that is, 30,000 to 40,000 people. Our Jurchen and Bohai soldiers alone are no less than 50,000! Including the Han'er Army and the Mengwu Army, there are 100,000 soldiers They’re all there!”
"There are still 50,000 party items!" Li Renli raised his hand and said, "The 50,000 troops led by my family's warriors and His Highness the King of Jin have already crossed the Yellow River and will arrive soon!"
"Okay!" Wu Qimai cheered loudly, "Including Dabai Gao's 50,000-strong army, but if 150,000 people defeat 30,000 of them, our army will be five times that of the enemy... If the Song Dynasty had not With firearms to rely on, we will win without a doubt!
King Shu (Li Renli), after winning this battle, I and the soldiers of your country will treat each other as brothers. My elder brother is my elder brother, and he is the emperor of the Eastern Dynasty. When Wu Zu was young, he became his younger brother and became the emperor of the Western Dynasty! "
Wu Qimai really spent a lot of money to win over Li Qianshun! They are all willing to be brothers with Li Qianshun... It's a pity that Li Qianshun has died of grief and anger now...
However, Li Renli still cupped his hands and said: "Our country's Wuzu said that after this battle is over, he will meet with Your Majesty to discuss the alliance face to face. We will discuss how your Majesty and the Wuzu should be proportionate and how to divide the land of the Song Dynasty at that time. Not too late."
"Okay!" Wu Qimai nodded heavily, "It's settled...I and Wuzu will see you soon! King Shu, please return to Wuzu's army as soon as possible, tell Wuzu, and ask him to lead the army immediately Come to Wu Lahai City to join the battle."
"I wonder where the Wu soldiers should advance?" Li Renli asked.
"Just march along the North River of the Yellow River!" Wu Qimai said with a smile, "If we go directly through the grassland, we might run into the Song army coming north from the fork of the river... We don't have to fight them head-on. As long as they can attack Po Yue Fei at night, the Song army heading north from the fork of the river will definitely retreat in panic. When the time comes, we will pursue them together and we will definitely win a complete victory!"
Li Renli was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up to leave. He left Wu Lahaicheng with Wu Qibi's words and requests. Under the escort of a group of Jurchen cavalry, he headed west, bypassing Yue Fei's army and looking for The 50,000-strong party army led by Li Qianshun and Brother Richard...
After seeing off Li Renli, Wu Qimai returned to the main hall and began to discuss with the generals below. He first asked Hebule: "Grand Master Hebule, have your people found any traces of the Yelv Stone? "
As early as the beginning of summer, Yelu Dashi's troops took advantage of the cool weather to cross the Gobi Desert and enter the Monan Grassland, wandering in the territory of the White Tatars. The White Tatars who were nomadic in the grasslands north of the Black Mountains and Yin Mountains had already surrendered to the Jurchens. However, in order to win over the Mongol people, the Dajin court gave all the best pastures south of the Yinshan Mountains to the Mongol people who went south, making the powerful black Tatar Mongol people the neighbors of the white Tatars.
Moreover, Wu Qimai also gave the leader of the Mongol people the title of Hedong Jiedushi. After receiving this title, Hebule did not send out large-scale troops to seize Zhao Kai's territory. Rather, the grasslands to the north of Yinshan and Heishan are all the territory of the Yunzhong Shouchu Envoy under the jurisdiction of the Hedong Army, so the White Tatars there are required to accept their jurisdiction. He also sent troops to annihilate several White Tatar tribes that disobeyed him, and also carried out wheel beheading among these tribes that were annihilated!
Although Hebul relied on powerful force and brutal methods to subdue most of the White Tatar tribes, there were always some unconvinced tribal leaders. They did not dare to openly challenge Hebule and the Mongol people, but they dared to secretly contact Yelu Dashi in Mobei.
When Yelu Dashi fled from Yelu Yanxi, he received financial support from Bai Tatar Xiang Wenbedugu'er, and received four hundred horses, twenty camels, and several sheep. It was with these animals that Dashi and his two hundred followers were able to cross the desert, enter the Mobei grassland, and reach Kedun City in Zhenzhou.
With this kind of kindness, the White Tatar tribes naturally turned to Dashi, hoping that he could revive the Liao Dynasty, so that the White Tatar tribes could get rid of the oppression of the Mongol people.
Therefore, the Yelu Dashi heading south from the greater desert naturally received assistance from the White Tatars and were able to wander on the grasslands north of the Yinshan and Black Mountains.
"We already have some news," Hebule said. "The thief Dashi is very cunning and wanders erratically on the grasslands north of Black Mountain and Yinshan Mountain. Moreover, the people he brought to Monan are all young and strong warriors who move quickly and fiercely. It is difficult to Capture... But we only need to guard the mountain passes in Montenegro and prevent it from going south.
Once the Song people are defeated, I am not afraid that they will not go back to Mobei. At that time, there is no need for the Dajin soldiers to take action. I will lead the Mongolian warriors north to Zhenzhou City to kill this thief on behalf of Dajin! "
"Okay!" Wu Qimai nodded with a smile, "When Yelu Dashi is killed, you can make your second son Balidan the governor of the three states of Zhen, Wei and Fang!"
Wu Qimai's promise was actually a trap. He coaxed the Mongol people to the foot of Yinshan Mountain and gave Hebule a Hedong Jiedushi in order to keep these thorns away from the Longxing Land of the Great Jin Kingdom. Stay away, and at the same time stay away from other tribes in Mobei, lest the powerful Mongol people swallow too many small tribes and become bigger.
So how could he be willing to let the Mongols own the three prefectures of Zhen, Wei, and Fang in the center of Mobei?
But now he still has to count on Hebul to send troops and help, and of course he has to make a big deal to coax the Mongols.
Therefore, he promised to appoint the governor of the three states... The governor of the three states is a local official. Wu Qimai did not let Balidan lead his troops to Mobei to take office!
"Hebule thanks the Lord for your kindness!"
Hebule was overjoyed. He could now speak politely. When he said this, he even stood up and bowed.
Wu Qimai smiled and said: "Grand Master Hebule, this time we are fighting against the Yue Fei tribe of the Song Dynasty, please send out some warriors..." He stretched out his hand and said, "Send out five thousand Mongol warriors." how?"
Hebule looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, my warriors don't even have iron armor..."
Wu Qimai smiled and said: "We will have it after this battle... The armor and iron tools obtained after winning this battle will belong to Mengwu. I only want the big barrel, copper pot and gunpowder!"
"Okay! I listen to your majesty!" Of course Hebule wanted to get the big tube, the explosive pot and the gunpowder...but he also wanted to live for a few more years!
You know what I mean!
Wu Qimai put away his smile, looked at the people in the hall with a serious expression, and said word by word: "This battle... first is to destroy the 30,000 Song troops under Yue Fei's command; secondly, it is to rob the Song troops. Big tubes, kettles and gunpowder, especially big tubes!
If the officers and soldiers of each department grab the big tube, they will immediately send it to Wu Lahai City... I will be heavily rewarded! "
It turned out that Wu Qimai had made two preparations...if he couldn't destroy Yue Fei's 30,000 elite soldiers, he would still have to grab a big barrel at any cost!
This thing scared the kid Xie Bao to tears, it must be really awesome! Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin must get it and then imitate it a lot!
...
"Lieutenant Yue, Wu Lahai City is ahead!"
Chuanqi Fei came to Yue Fei's horse. Yue Fei, who won what is known as the "Battle of the Red River" in history (because in this battle, the blood of the Jin soldiers dyed the Yellow River and the North River red, the Yellow River and the North River was later renamed the Red River by Zhao Kai), now leads 30,000 victorious soldiers. , approaching Wu Lahai City in a swaggering manner.
Just like before the "Battle of Red River", his army still had infantry in the front and cavalry in the back. Moreover, the infantry still formed hollow square formations, and the baggage, artillery, and most of the personnel directly under the two corps were collected into the square formation.
However, Yue Fei himself did not join the phalanx, but acted with the army, staff, personal soldiers and the direct generals of the Yulin Army.
What is different from the "Battle of Red River" is that along the way, there are no more Jin cavalry nearby!
The Jin people seem to have disappeared from the Hejian grassland south of Montenegro!
After the Jin "disappeared", Yue Fei asked Li Shifu to send out a range of hard detectives to explore the situation near Wu Lahai City - mainly to see if the Jin had escaped?
In the eyes of Yue Fei, Li Shifu, and Wu Jie, the previous "Battle of the Red River" was too heavy-handed... They did not expect that the "Casserole Cannon" was so ferocious when it was launched, and they all beat the Jin soldiers to the ground. Yellow River”!
So the three of them were worried that the gold thieves in Wu Lahai City would be scared away... Although this achieved their goal, they were not satisfied with the fight!
In the Battle of the Red River, only Yue Fei and his imperial troops ate the meat, Li Shifu got a little bit of the light, and Wu Jie didn't even catch it... This is not okay!
It was so easy to cut off the heads of the golden thief, so Wu Jie had to lead his brothers to cut off more heads, right? Li Shifu also has to make meritorious deeds... Otherwise, others will say that he became the ruler by relying on the soft rice of Emperor Roufu. How shameless?
"Are the Jin people still in Wu Lahaicheng?" Li Shifu asked.
"Still...but their main force may have left." A small leader of the light cavalry replied, "The Jin people closed the city gate and didn't even let out the rangers for hard exploration."
Another older cavalryman said: "We also found traces of a large number of cattle, sheep and horses passing through on the grassland east of Wu Lahai City... The Jin army has probably retreated."
Retreat?
Li Shifu glanced at Yue Fei with some reproach - why did you, Yue Fei, kill the gold thief so lightly? They all scared people away!
The relationship between Yue Fei and Li Shifu was very fast. Seeing that this little brother was aggrieved, he comforted him and said: "There are still some... there are still some in Wu Lahai City!"
Li Shifu sighed: "Pengju, my soldiers are all Yulin cavalry, can I let them climb the city wall?"
That’s right!
Yue Fei thought for a while, "How about we try to bombard the city with cannons this time? Blow down the city wall... This way, the Yulin cavalry can rush in."
Li Shifu nodded heavily: "Okay... let's march quickly and try to arrive at Wu Lahai City at noon tomorrow, so that we can have half a day to blast the city wall."
