"Wushu, the battle situation around the Wuzhang River is very favorable to us! The emperor ordered people to set up a company camp on the north bank of the Wuzhang River for 20 miles, and set up more than 500 cannons. The Wuzhang River has been firmly locked. River. We also sent craftsmen from the Han'er Army to build two pontoon bridges on the Wuzhang River, and asked the second brother to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to cross the Wuzhang River and set up a stronghold..."
In Puyang City, the person who reported to Wanyan Wushu the battle situation on the Wuzhanghe front line in the original Kaide Mansion Yamen was the one who came to Wushu on orders from Wanyan Wu to beg for money and also started fighting for Wushu. Wan Yan Aru.
Isn’t the current Great Jin Kingdom still in its infancy? Many of the first generation "Da Wanyan" are still alive. This spirit of seeking truth from facts has not been completely lost, so Wushu cannot turn a defeat into a victory!
Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qingbuy has received more than twenty defeat reports from Wushu in the past few days - Wushu does not lose every battle. After all, Zhao Kai's subordinates except for those historical "anti-jin Wushu experts" , and there are some who are not very good at fighting. They can improve Jin Wushu's record and save some face. According to Wu Shu's own report, he and Zhao Bupo fought thirty-one battles, losing twenty-one, winning nine, and drawing one. Zhao Bupo's winning rate is close to 70%!
Therefore, Wu Qimai was very worried after receiving Wu Shu's report, fearing that Wu Shu would defeat Zhao Bupo at the critical moment of the Wuzhang River battle... Wu Shu did not have many troops at hand. , that is, the ten thousand households he personally led plus Han Chang's Liaodong Haner army ten thousand households. Before the series of battles with Zhao Bupo, the number of regular soldiers in these two ten thousand households was less than 12,000, and together with Ali Xi and Han'er's army, the number of auxiliary soldiers was about 32,000. After thirty-one small-scale battles, Wu Shu and Han Chang lost a total of 5,000 to 6,000 people from their ten thousand households, leaving only 26,700 in total.
And the combined armies of Zhao Bupo and He Guan totaled more than 200,000 (Wu Qimai overestimated He Guan's military strength)... If Wu Shu can't stop Zhao Bupo, let him If he leads the army to the battlefield of Wuzhanghe, Wu Qimai's decisive battle plan at Wuzhanghe may be defeated.
Therefore, Wu Qimai had no choice but to adjust his deployment. On the one hand, he ordered Wanyan Nianhan to stop the siege of Yanjin and Suanzao, and mobilized his troops to launch a feint attack in the direction of the Sanshan Floating Bridge; on the other hand, he ordered Wanyan Alu to lead a fierce force. An's troops rushed to support Wanyan Wushu, and asked Alu to tell Wushu thoroughly about the good situation on the Wuzhanghe front line.
"Second brother has already crossed the Wuzhang River?" After hearing Alu's report, Wanyan Wushu's face showed an expression of surprise, "Where is the navy of the Song Dynasty? Didn't they come to stop it?"
"What are you blocking?" Wanyan Alu said with a smile, "Wuzhang River is not a big river, but a water surface of five or six feet wide. As long as more cannons are set up along the river, it will be enough to repel the Song warships. They really dare to come here, our five hundred cannons in Hebei haven't sunk all the Song people's ships!"
"What about the Song people on the south bank of the Wuzhang River?" Wanyan Wushu asked, "There are also hundreds of thousands of them, right? What are they doing?"
Wanyan A'lu said with a smile: "What else can we do? Of course we can build a fortification and defend ourselves. Let's wait until we cross the Wuzhang River and set up camp south of the Wuzhang River! Wait until we stand firm on the south bank of the Wuzhang River Heel, it will push towards the Bianhe River. When the time comes, those Song people will be cowed turtles again, and the water transportation of the Bianhe River will be cut off by us!
Moreover, the people of Song Dynasty could only reach the Wuzhang River in the scorched land and wilderness east of Kaifeng Mansion. The fields in Wuzhang Henan are still full of unharvested crops, and trees that can be used to build siege equipment can be seen everywhere! Therefore, we are sure to win the battle between Wuzhanghe and Bianhe. The only danger is that Zhao Bupo's army goes south! "
The conversation between the two had just reached this point when the announcement from the Wushu soldiers came from outside the lobby.
"Report to the Fourth Prince... Sentries are coming to report, and the Southern Army brigade is dispatched!"
Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan A'lu looked at each other after hearing this, and Wushu shouted loudly: "Come in and talk!"
Mou Ke, a personal soldier under Wanyan Wushu, walked in quickly and saluted Wushu and Alu.
Wanyan Wushu asked: "The Southern Army sent many troops? Where did they go?"
Wu Shu's personal soldier Mou Ke replied: "Fourth Prince, there are thousands of cavalry and horse teams from the Xiaowuxi Camp and Pinglingxi Camp of the Southern Army, and they are all going south!"
Wanyan A'lu looked at Wushu, who frowned: "The Song cavalry must have gone to seize some important intersections and bridges leading to the Wuzhang River in the south!"
Wanyan Alu said: "Fourth brother, this is a critical moment! We can't let Zhao Bupo's army move to the north bank of Wuzhang River... At least we have to hold Zhao Bupo for a few days!"
Wanyan Wushu knew in his heart that he would lose the battle again!
But this battle must be fought even if it is defeated, and even if it is not fought, it must be fought!
Otherwise, once Zhao Bupo's cavalry takes control of the road going south, his hundreds of thousands of infantry will force past Wu Qimai's army.
If Wu Qimai was defeated at Wuzhanghe, Daijin's national fortunes would plummet!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Wushu gritted his teeth and nodded, "I know! Come here, pass on the general's order and beat the drum to gather the generals!"
...
Xiao Wu Xun, the camp of the Song Army.
Zhao Kai, who was known as the General of the Jinwu Guards, the Governor of Songzhou, and the commander in front of the palace, Zhao Bupo, strode into his Chinese army tent in neat military uniforms.
It is said to be a Chinese military tent, but it is actually not a tent, but a landlord's mansion located inside Xiaowuxi. At this time, the lobby of this mansion was already full of stars. In addition to leading the cavalry to attract Wanyan Wushu to notice the absence of Yao Pingzhong and Wang De. The rest of the "anti-Jin Wu art experts" were all gathered together. When they saw Zhao Kai walking in, they all saluted him together.
Zhao Kai's spirit seemed extremely excited, because the national destiny of the Song Dynasty seemed to have reached a point where he was about to turn it around!
The golden thief's attack on Kaifeng Mansion can be said to have gone all out!
But even if they tried their best, so far, they couldn't even see the base of the wall of Kaifeng Mansion - the base of the wall was blocked by the Sheep and Horse Wall. Of course, it couldn't be seen without breaking the Sheep and Horse Wall.
Moreover, Zhao Kai also feels that the current situation on the battlefield is extremely beneficial to him!
On the one hand, the army led by Wu Qimai went deep into Wuzhang Henan and fell into the trap of Han Shizhong and Chen Gui without knowing it.
On the other hand, Wanyan Wushu, who was responsible for guarding the main force led by Zhao Kai, was severely beaten and had lost the ability to contain Zhao Kai's actions. Moreover, Wu Qimai and Wu Shu seem to have not realized that the real danger is actually in Daming Mansion where Wanyan Xie is also stationed!
Although the walls of Damingfu City are strong, Wanyanxie does not have many troops on hand and cannot defend it at all. Besides, defending the city is not a job that the Jurchens are good at. Moreover, Zhao Kai still holds a counterweight trebuchet and a fierce fire in his hand. Oil bombs are two trump cards!
Thinking of first defeating Xie and regaining Daming Mansion, and then severely damaging Wu Qimai and heading towards Youyan, Zhao Kai had already sat down with a smile, looked at the questioning eyes of his generals, and said with a smile: "I am determined It has been decided that the general will personally lead 80,000 infantry and cavalry on land and water, go north to defeat Wanyan Xieye's troops, and recapture Damingfu City in one fell swoop! The combat strategies of each ministry will be issued by the Marching Counselor Department later. I hope that you will work together to ensure victory. To protect the country of Song Dynasty... I will definitely be rewarded heavily by this commander!"
After giving the order, everyone in the big tent shouted in unison: "We must do our best to live up to His Majesty!"
...
At the same time, the confrontation between the Song and Jin armies in the Wuzhang River area has come to an end...a big battle is about to begin!
At this time, there were four barracks of the Song and Jin armies on both sides of the Wuzhang River.
Among them, there are two camps for the Jin soldiers. One is on the north bank of Wuzhang River. The company camp is 20 miles long and is extremely spectacular. There are more than 500 cannons placed along the river. One is on the south bank of the Wuzhang River. It is a small but very strong camp. There are also several pontoon bridges built between the north and south camps.
There are also two camps for the Song Army, both on the south bank of the Wuzhang River. One of them is the water and land camp, which is spread out along the Wuzhang River and is eight miles long. There are also long camps anchored on the Wuzhang River near the camp. An endless fleet of ships. This is the camp of the main force from Kaifeng Mansion led by Han Shizhong and Chen Gui. Among them, the east end of the camp is almost opposite the west end of the Jinbing Hebei (Wuzhang Hebei) camp. The distance between the two camps is only a hundred steps or so. Moreover, the Song Army also set up an artillery array, but their number of cannons was smaller, less than a hundred, but they all looked very big... They looked very powerful!
As for the other Song army camp, it was Huang Wuji's army who came from Dingtao. It had only 12,000 troops, but they were all elite. They set up camp against the Jin soldiers' camp on the south bank of the Wuzhang River, assuming a "fortress against fortress" posture to stop the Jin soldiers from going south.
However, unlike the situation on the front lines of Xiaowuxi and Pinglingxun, at the front line of Wuzhang River, the Song army behaved very weakly and did not dare to fight the Jin soldiers at all. Even the sentinels and rangers behaved extremely weakly. Outside the camp, they didn't dare to fight the Jin soldiers' cavalry horses... They even watched the cavalry sent from the Jin soldiers' camp on the south bank of the Wuzhang River go around looting and killing without any reaction.
Therefore, the Jin soldiers in the Wuzhang River area are still immersed in the optimistic atmosphere that they are about to win a great victory... As long as more troops cross the river, they can break through the Song Dynasty that blocked Wanyan Wanli's troops from going south. The military camp can then be advanced to Bianhe River in one fell swoop.
As long as the Bianhe River is cut off, millions of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City will be trapped in a dilemma of lack of food and clothing... Sooner or later, the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will be able to take over this most wealthy city in the world.
Perhaps the colorful country and billions of people in the Central Plains will soon become the spoils of the Great Jin Kingdom!
However, at this time, they could not have imagined that the Song Army, which was smaller in number than them and seemed to be not as good at fighting as them, would soon launch a counterattack that they could not imagine!
