Northeast of Shizikou and Liaocheng, between Houshi Mountain (where Highland 203 is located), East Jiguan Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain, there is a valley called Jiashan Valley. It is called "Mountain Valley", but it is actually quite open. If you look at it from a high altitude, it is a prismatic shape that is ten miles from north to south and twelve miles from east to west.
Jiashan Valley has three very wide exits, located in the northwest, northeast and south directions of the valley. The exit located in the northwest, between Houshi Mountain and Phoenix Mountain, is more than eight miles wide, with several isolated hills in between. After leaving the mountain pass, it is close to the Bohai Bay. The terrain is open and flat, and the flat terrain extends in two directions: Huachengguan in the northeast and Shizikou Bay in the southwest.
The northeastern exit of Jiashan Valley is between Dongjiguan Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain. It is less than four miles wide, and the terrain outside the mountain pass is rugged and densely forested, making it a good place to lay an ambush.
The exit directly south of Jiashan Valley is between Houshi Mountain and Dongjiguan Mountain. It is less than four miles wide and leads to the ring of hills outside Shizikou.
Near the south exit of Jiashan Valley, with Monkey Stone Mountain and Dongjiguan Mountain as its back, a new string of camps was set up.
The reason why it is called a "string" of camps, rather than one camp, is that this camp is not a group of tents crowded together. Instead, it is a series of crescent-shaped company camps. The left wing of the company camp is anchored at the eastern foot of Houshi Mountain, occupying a series of hilltops. The right wing of the company camp is at the foot of East Jiguan Mountain, backed by the densely forested mountain. The central part of the company camp just blocks the road leading to Shizikou, and the entire company camp is more than 10 miles long.
Because it was a large camp that was hastily set up and spread out widely, it looked a bit unorganized, and the defense facilities were also a bit sloppy. The trenches were narrow and shallow, and the fences were hasty. However, the trenches and fences were very long, more than 10 miles long, forming a crescent-shaped defense line. Among them, the camp located in the center of the company camp, blocking the road leading to Shizikou, is the core of the company camp. It occupies a vast area and leaves a lot of open space in the camp. It is very conducive to the entry and exit of the army and the assembly and formation.
Obviously, this "string" of camps is not a place where the army is stationed and rested, but a camp used for "positional warfare".
And the position occupied by this camp is just right for overlooking Jiabiangou... If the Jin soldiers want to advance from Jiabiangou, they must capture this "string" of Song army camps.
Although this company's camp is loosely camped, it is not comparable to a large infantry formation lined up on the flat ground.
As for bypassing Jiashan Valley and marching towards Shizikou... Not only do you have to walk more than ten miles around Houshi Mountain, you also have to pass under the foot of Houshi Mountain City!
The location of Houshi Mountain City is where the famous 203 Highlands is located!
If you want to bypass Highland 203 and directly attack the fortress group on the west side of Lushunkou (Shizikou), it is of course a dream... So if you want to attack Shizikou, the Jin Army must either forcefully attack the Song Army on the southern edge of Jiabiangou To "string" the camp, we should either go around more than ten miles to attack the "203" highland.
Apart from this, there is no road suitable for Jin soldiers to pass.
In the center of the "Chuan" camp on the southern edge of Jiashan Valley, a general's tooth flag was hung high at this time, and next to it was a smaller recognition flag. On the recognition flag were embroidered with four large characters "Sacred Arrow Horse" Expand".
The word "Shenjian" in "Shenjianmakuo" also has its origin. When Ma Kuo went on a mission to the Jurchens with his father, Aguda wanted to test the skills of the Southern Dynasty warriors and invited Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo to hunt together. Aguda warned his men in advance that they were not allowed to move rashly when they found prey, and they must let Ma Kuo, the Nanshi, shoot first. As a result, Ma Kuo killed a yellow deer with one arrow and won a lot of praise. When Aguda held a banquet in honor of Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo that night, Nianhan's father Sagai gave Ma Kuo a nickname, calling him: Yelimali, which means the sharp archer.
...
"Fourth Prince, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern Army have set up camp in Jiashan Valley. The company camp is located close to Houshi Mountain and Dongjiguan Mountain. It is in the shape of a crescent and is about 10 miles long..."
"Reporting to the Fourth Prince, the Confederate Army has built a castle on the southwest highland of Houshi Mountain. It is quite dangerous to guard the main road from a high position..."
"Reporting to the Fourth Prince, a general's tooth flag has been erected in the Jiashangou Camp of the Confederate Army. The strategy of the tooth flag is also a recognition flag of "magical arrows and horses expand"!"
To the north-northeast of Jiashan Valley, on a fairly open official road close to the Bohai Sea, the sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder. 3,000 white-robed knights, surrounded by the Fourth Prince of Dajin and Marshal Zuo Jianjun Wanyan Wushu, marched forward in a mighty manner.
In front of and behind them are countless red and black military flags, fluttering in the sea breeze, and there are endless cavalry and infantry following the flags, and they can't even see the side!
The 100,000 gold soldiers led by Wanyan Wushu have arrived at the Jiashangou battlefield.
There are also countless traveling horsemen running back and forth, constantly bringing the enemy situation in front.
After hearing the report, Wanyan Wushu just smiled: "It seems that Gao Qiu is really dead... The leader of the army now should be Yelima Immediate Kuo. He is also a good man, but he can't compare with Gao Qiu!" "
Well, how can Ma Kuo compare with Gao Qiu? After Gao Qiu, there was no successor to the Chinese football industry...Although Ma Kuo's martial arts and military tactics were top-notch among the Song army, there were many people who were better than him.
Bohai Meng'an Dabao, who was beside Wanyan Wushu, smiled and suggested at this time: "Fourth Prince, let's simply divide our troops into two groups. The main force will go through the Jiashan Valley, and the partial force will bypass the Houshi Mountain... let's attack from both sides. Force the horse to expand!"
Wanyan Wushu glanced at Da Bian lightly - although Da Bian's name was not pleasant, he was very famous for his bravery. Moreover, the Bohai Meng'an under Dazhao's command is also very powerful. It is known as "Bohai three people become one tiger" and is the ace in the Jin Army's infantry.
"How?" Wanyan Wushu didn't quite understand what Da Bian meant, but he also knew that Da Bian was familiar with Fuzhou's terrain, and his suggestions were still worthy of reference.
Da Bian said: "My subordinates are willing to lead 5,000 Bohai warriors, carry fire starters, bypass Houshi Mountain, and set fire to the west of Shizikou... At the same time, they will pretend to attack Houshi Mountain City. In this way, Ma Kuo will definitely think that the back road has been lost. If the fourth prince takes the opportunity to attack Ma Kuo's camp again. Ma Kuo has just taken over the army, and people's hearts will definitely be unstable. He will not dare to fight us in the Jiashan ravine when the back road may be lost. He only needs one If we retreat, the fourth prince will take the opportunity to cover up the attack. Even if he can't kill many Song troops, he can greatly shake the Song army's morale and push the Song army back to the lion's mouth."
Wanyan Wushu nodded, Da Bian's method was good. Now that the head coach of the Song Army has recently lost his job, and people's hearts are in a state of confusion, this is a good opportunity to strike down the lost dog! Ma Kuo was originally just a marching counselor, and his prestige in the army could not be compared with Gao Qiu... Moreover, Gao Qiu died so suddenly, Zhao Kai, who was in Daming Mansion, probably didn't know about it, so naturally he didn't. It was impossible to appoint Ma Kuo as the commander-in-chief of the Song Army in Liaodong.
Therefore, the current Liaodong Song Army must be leaderless, and Ma Kuo is just a temporary leader elected by the "dragons". He can only temporarily command the army before the new commander appointed by Zhao Kai arrives. If he loses a battle, won't Ma Kuo, the temporary leader, lose his prestige?
"Okay!" Wanyan Wushu nodded heavily, "Da Meng'an, a certain family will give you another 5,000 Liaodong Han'er troops to make up an army of 10,000, and bring more flags, drums and trumpets, so that you can make a big splash when the time comes! "
As he spoke, he said to Han Chang, the commander of the Han army in Liaodong, saying: "Director Han, give Dameng 5,000 elite soldiers!"
"Got the order!"
Han Chang bowed his hands on the horse, pinched his nose and gave Wu Shu's order - now is the critical moment to make meritorious deeds, and 5,000 elite soldiers are assigned to Da Bian to make meritorious deeds. How can Han Chang make meritorious deeds?
Wu Shu nodded and said: "Han Chang, take the remaining troops and guard Niujiao Mountain, Anzi Mountain and Fenji Mountain for me... Remember, you must be careful on the sea! If the Song Dynasty's water When the army comes from the sea again, you can light a warning fire and send a horse to report to a certain family and the emperor."
Wanyan Wushu was still very cautious. He knew that the biggest advantage of the Song army was at sea... If Shizikou was in a hurry, he would probably mobilize elites to take the sea route by boat to steal the Jin soldiers' retreat. This would require If they copy it, the trouble will be big.
"Don't worry, Fourth Prince," Han Chang said, handing over his hand, "If the Song army dares to come from the sea, my subordinates will definitely drive them into the sea to feed the fish!"
Wanyan Wushu nodded with a smile, and then waved his hand, "Transmit an order from a certain family...speed up and drive into Jiashan Valley! Tonight, we will back up the village of Fenghuang Mountain!"
...
"Lieutenant, the army of gold thieves has divided into two groups. The main force is moving into Jiashan Valley and seems to want to set up a stronghold at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. There are also more than ten thousand elite soldiers who are bypassing Monkey Stone Mountain and seem to want to take our retreat."
In the Song Army camp in Jiashangou, Li Shifu, the cavalry general responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, quickly walked into the Chinese army's tent and loudly reported to Ma Kuo the situation of the Jin soldiers that had just been obtained.
Ma Kuo was standing in front of the map table with his hands behind his back, and a circle of generals stood around him. Everyone was respectful... Gao Qiu, the coach, didn't care about anything at all. He lay in the coffin all day and didn't go out in broad daylight. It made all the generals under his command not want to see him. And Ma Kuo, the chief counselor, is the real coach. Now that Gao Qiu is officially dead, Ma Kuo will be able to officially take over as the coach, and the people below him are even more convinced of him.
"Let's talk about it," Ma Kuo said, "How do you think we should fight?"
"Lieutenant," Yue Fei was the first to speak, "the gold thieves who bypassed Monkey Stone Mountain must be a feint attack... We can use the trick and put them under Monkey Stone Mountain City, let them bluff, and then trap them If we pretend to be panic on this side of the ravine, we will attract the gold thieves."
Ma Kuo nodded.
Niu Gao said again: "Lieutenant, we can also ask Zhang Tongzhi and Li Tongzhi to lead the navy to the sea to the north of Niujiao Mountain, Anzi Mountain and Fenji Mountain, and also bluff, pretending to land, and attract the gold thieves. Attention... At the same time, let’s send out another elite force and take a detour from the path between Fenghuang Mountain and East Jiguan Mountain to the enemy’s rear!”
