The communication between Zhao Kai and the Kaifeng Prefecture became somewhat difficult because the Jin soldiers dug up the Jixian Dam on the Yellow River.
The Chuanqi sent by Kaifeng Prefecture must go around the Guangwu Mountain pontoon bridge to cross the Yellow River, then pass through Huaizhou, Weizhou, and Xiangzhou, enter Junzhou, and board a boat sent by the Sanshan pontoon camp near Liyang to reach Zhao Kai at Xiaowu. The camp of Xun. The total distance of this journey alone plus the distance by boat is four to five hundred miles! Moreover, they had to guard against the gold thieves' aggressive cavalry on the way - Wanyan Nianhan's soldiers and horses still guarded some of the highlands in Xinxiang County and Ji County, and from time to time they would send out cavalry to harass Huaizhou, Xiangzhou, and Zongze The army fought fiercely.
Therefore, Han Shizhong and Chen Gui sent a team of passing cavalry on September 17, the first year of Jingkang. It was not until September 20, three days later, that they sent the military report that the two armies were confronting each other on the Wuzhanghe front line and that the decisive battle was imminent. He commanded the army to practice Jin Wushu, and it was in the hands of Zhao Kai who had accumulated experience.
It turns out that these days, Wanyan Wu Begging, Wanyan Nianhan and others were having a lively fight around Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhao Kai was actually not idle either. He and his troops were guarding the Song Army camps of Xiao Wu and Ping Ling. Wanyan Wushu has been fighting for several days. Although they are small battles with one or two thousand people, from August to now, there have been twenty or thirty battles, and the accumulated casualties on both sides have also exceeded. The number is three thousand.
And the result of these twenty or thirty battles was of course that Zhao Kai took the lead!
Moreover, these twenty or thirty battles have all yielded surprises!
Because Zhao Kai found that in addition to Yue Fei, Niu Gao, and Yang Zaixing, he also had many talented people under his command.
For example, the "little-known" brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin are quite good at fighting! Moreover, the two brothers are both wise and brave, ruthless men who can fight, calculate and command!
General Yang Zheng under Wu Jie was also the most brave among the three armies, and his ability to charge into battle was actually not inferior to that of Yue Fei, Niu Gao, and Yang Zaixing.
Yao Pingzhong and his subordinate Wang De are two fierce tigers who are particularly good at leading cavalry into battle. Moreover, these two people have been following Zhao Kai for a relatively long time. Under Zhao Kai's guidance, they have been able to lead a dozen "wall charges" with their Yao family cavalry!
Under the leadership of these two fierce men, 1,000 Yao family cavalry played the role of "saps" on the battlefield every now and then, quietly hiding in the square formation. After a few waves of attacks, the golden soldiers were a little tired, and then they suddenly rushed out and knocked over with a sap, which could always knock down a large number of people!
In addition, the performance of the seven military commanders Li Xiaozhong, Qu Duan, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Wang Yan, Hu Yantong, and Liu Qi on the battlefield also surprised Zhao Kai.
In particular, Li Xiaozhong and Wang Yan, two rich men who had dispersed their wealth and raised troops to serve the king, were actually self-taught military strategists. He had obviously never fought in any wars. Among them, Li Xiaozhong had never been in the army, and Wang Yan had only been in the army for a short time and had never been a high-ranking official. However, the two of them were able to train their more than 10,000 generals into elite troops capable of attacking and defending. In the attack against the golden thief, their troops performed best. They can attack and defend, are not afraid of gold thieves at all, and they don’t have the stinky habit of asking for money whenever they get into a fight. This style actually reflects that the two rich people, Li Xiaozhong and Wang Yan, have their own basic base, and their basic base is They are all simple mountain people from the Taihang Mountains or the valleys of the northwest. They are tough and dare to fight, and they are also relatively easy to satisfy...
In addition to the above group of people, Zhao Kai also discovered several fierce men in these days of battles, including Li Cheng, Cheng Min, Li Qiong, Kong Yanzhou, Li Shifu and others!
In addition, the two brothers Dong Jingang and Dong Luohan who came to seek refuge from Guo Yaoshi were also extremely brave, and they followed Zhao Kai for a long time. Therefore, like Yao Pingzhong and Wang De, he can also lead his men's cavalry to charge against the wall!
Under the attack of such a large group of fierce men, I have always been arrogant and looked down on Song Jun's Wanyan Wushu. I was a little suspicious of life... Why are all the enemies so awesome? Why is it so easy for everyone to hit themselves?
Where did this Zhao Bupo find them? This Zhao Bupo has so many talented people under his command, how can we defeat him?
Wanyan Wushu couldn't think of a way for a while, so he had to hang up the no-war sign starting from September 18th... He didn't really put up a sign with the word "war-free" written on it. Instead, they abandoned the two strongholds of Jiuzhou Town and Weinan, concentrated their forces to defend Puyang, and no longer took the initiative to send troops to fight in front of the Song army camps in Xiaowuxi and Pinglingxun.
After Zhao Kai saw Wanyan Wushu actively shrinking, he did not rush to attack Puyang. Because Wanyan Wushu is not his main target... He only has two targets. One is the main force of gold thieves who went south to attack Feng Mansion; Damingfu City!
So when the news that the battle on the Wuzhanghe front line was imminent reached the Xiaowuxi camp, Zhao Kai immediately summoned the generals for a military meeting. At the beginning of the military meeting, he directly took out the plans of attacking the Daming in the north and going south to Wuzhang. River these two plans.
The Wanyan Wushu that had been defeated repeatedly was now ignored by him. It's not that Wanyan Wushu is not qualified - after all, he is also the big boss Jin Wushu in "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo"! If given the chance, Zhao Kai would still be willing to let Yue Fei hack Jin Wushu to death so as to settle the regrets of his previous life.
But Zhao Kai, who has increasingly rich military experience, knows that Jin Wushu is a little depressed now that he has been beaten, and he is likely to avoid the battle and leave.
Jin Wushu's troops were all cavalry, while Zhao Kai's troops were mainly infantry. Jin Wushu wanted to run away, but Zhao Kai had no other options.
In Xiao Wu's handsome tent, the talented people who understood the situation in the Wuzhanghe area began to talk about it.
"Commander of the Palace, the last general suggested that we take Daming Mansion north to force Wu Qimai to withdraw from the Wuzhang River and around Kaifeng Mansion!"
Cao Li, the marching counselor who had sneaked into the elite team, understood Zhao Kai's thoughts best, so he immediately put forward the best answer in Zhao Kai's mind.
He added: "If we can capture Daming Mansion quickly, then the gold thieves will not only be unable to gain a foothold near Kaifeng Mansion, they will not even be able to gain a foothold on the land of the Song Dynasty before Xuanhe's Northern Expedition... Although the land of Yanyun There is no way to recover it immediately, but we still have a chance to clean up the broken mountains and rivers in Hebei."
His words really touched Zhao Kai's heart!
However, Zhao Kai did not express his position immediately. He also wanted to hear other people's opinions.
"Commander of the Palace, the last general also thinks that taking Daming Mansion from the north is the best strategy. After all, Wu Qimai's army has more than 200,000 troops. After our army joins forces with Han Taiwei, the number of troops is less than 200,000. If Wanyan Wushu , Wanyan Nianhan and other armies also go south with us, then Wu Qimai's total strength will reach more than 300,000, and our army has no confidence in winning."
Wu Lin, who co-chaired the March Counselor Department with Cao Li, also agreed to take Damingfu north, but he was more conservative than Cao Li. He was worried that Zhao Kai would still not be Wu Qimai's opponent after joining forces with Han Shizhong, so he suggested that Zhao Kai avoid the truth. Just empty.
"Commander, the general is worried that the 80,000 troops led by Lieutenant Han may be defeated by the gold thieves...it is even possible that Lieutenant Han may be defeated now!
Daming Mansion is also a fortified city and difficult to capture quickly.
Therefore, the last general suggested that the army immediately march westward along the Yellow River and first defeat Wanyan Nianhan's troops lingering on both sides of the Yellow River. Then seal the breach of the Yellow River dam in Shangji County..."
Yao Pingzhong is more conservative than Wu Lin. He has been a counselor in Zhao Kai's camp counselor's department for several months, and he is also a counselor who plays a leading role. He is very aware of the reality in Kaifeng City - although Han Shizhong led an army of 13,000 They are elites, but all the elite soldiers in Kaifeng City were pulled out by Zhao Kai, and the remaining ones are not very capable of fighting.
So he really has no confidence in the 80,000 people led by Han Shizhong...
Zhao Kai heard this high argument and finally couldn't help but speak, "It's definitely not like this. Although Han Shizhong's 80,000 troops are not elite enough, after all, they have the Wuzhang River to rely on and the Liangshan Navy.
In addition, there are 20,000 people led by Huang Wuji and Xiang Ke in the Dingtao camp. They are elites.
Moreover, Lieutenant Han also has a cannon that can hit 200 steps and a powerful oil bomb. As long as he uses it properly, it is enough to defeat the enemy! "
He paused and suddenly smiled: "And we also have many new types of cannons and heavy-fire oil bombs. These two treasures are sharp weapons for siege! So my commander's intention is to take Daming Mansion from the north... But Puyang's complete Yan Wushu is a problem, do you have any good ideas to prevent him from being harmed?"
"Commander, Fei has a plan to coax Wanyan Wushu away!"
The one who stood up to offer advice was Yue Fei, who had just been promoted to the position of cavalry general.
He is an expert in dealing with metal Wushu - in fact, Zhao Kai has many "anti-metal Wushu experts" under his command, and these people all have the attribute of "conquering metal Wushu". So it's normal for Jin Wushu to have a hard time.
Zhao Kai laughed when he heard this and said, "What good advice does Pengju have? Tell me quickly!"
Yue Fei said: "If our army marches towards Daming Mansion with great fanfare, Jin Wushu will definitely enter Daming Mansion before us. This will make Daming Mansion difficult to fight!"
Therefore, we should first make a gesture of going south in a big way... Then Jin Wushu will go south before us, in order to join forces with Wu Qimai first.
If we immediately turn around and head north after Wu Shu goes south, we will definitely be able to surround Damingfu City before Jin Wushu reacts! "
Zhao Kai nodded and thought: To deal with Jin Wushu, what Yue Fei said must be right!
So Zhao Kai immediately said: "Okay! Then let's make a marching plan according to Yue Pengju's method!"
…
Just when Zhao Kai and a group of anti-Jin Wushu experts were meeting to study how to fool Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu was discussing with his brother Wanyan Alu in Puyang City how to hold off Zhao Bupo's army. Now Wu Qimai was confronting Han Shizhong on the bank of Wuzhang River. It had reached a critical moment. Maybe there would be a few more The winner will be determined by the day.
Therefore, Zhao Bupo's army must be contained now, and they must not be allowed to go south to join the Wuzhanghe battlefield!
