After the Tianmen Gate closed, more than 17,000 people from the Zhe family appeared here. Looking at the golden flag on the city wall, they didn't have the slightest worry, let alone fear.
"Set up camp!"
Zhe Keqiu took one look at the city wall and snorted coldly. Then instead of attacking the city, he ordered to set up camp.
The Jin general Lou Su who was on the city wall couldn't help but was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene. However, looking at Zhe Keqiu and others who formed a formation to meet the enemy in the city, he finally did not have the courage to attack the opponent.
They could only watch Zhe Kexu dig trenches, cut down huge trees, and build their camp.
Until nightfall, the camp has been built under the Tianmen Pass.
"General, are we really not going to attack them?" Pu Cha, the Jin general who had closed the Tianmen, walked to Lou Su's side and asked softly, but he did not take action when the Song people took the initiative to invade.
This is not their style.
"Don't underestimate them. These people are from the Zhe family. Take a look at their camps. They are well organized, with deep trenches and plenty of deer antlers.
In addition, their soldiers and armor were well prepared, and the morale of the soldiers was high.
This method is not something that just an idle person can do, so be careful. "
Lou Su was a Jin who started out as a Liao general and later surrendered. He also fought against the Song people more often. To him, most of the Song people were worthless trash.
But there are only two armies that cannot be underestimated.
One is the Xijun, and the other is the Zhejia.
Compared to the Western Army, which was constantly thinking about gods and ghosts, and was in an extremely unstable state, the Zhe family was much more reliable. As long as the Zheji banner appeared, it would be a real fight to the death.
The reputation gained by fighting for one's life is not something that can be taken lightly.
At this time, looking at the Jin army on the city wall, the expression on his face was also extremely embarrassing.
"What problem did the general discover?"
"Tianmen Pass is a trap. The whole camp will be doused with kerosene in a short while, and two hundred dead soldiers will be left to guard it. If there is an ambush, they will be set on fire immediately and die together with them.
If there is no ambush, pretend to be a scout and leave immediately before dawn! "
"General, are you sure?"
"Although Tianmen Pass is dangerous, when have you ever seen guys like Jin Ren and Liao Ren fighting to defend the city!"
Zhe Keqiu exposed Lou Su's problem with just one sentence.
"If nothing else happens, soldiers and horses are now deployed on the mountains on both sides of Tianmen Pass. A certain family will set up camp when they come up, so they are not given any chance.
But this kind of thing is hard to talk about. Leave as soon as possible! "
"If we pretend not to know and deceive them..."
"Who do you think can command him to move Lou Su?" Zhe Keqiu sneered directly, "Now Wanyan Zongwang is facing off against Guo Yaoshi on the right, and Jin Wushu is facing off against Zongze on Hebei Road.
Then I, Hedong Road, am either Nianhan or that old fox in Wanyan Lou’s room.
Are you sure you can fool these two people? "
At this time, after Zhe Keqiu finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately returned to the camp, began to make urgent arrangements, discarded a lot of food and supplies, and began to slowly leave under the cover of night.
With a false shot, they were about to walk through Songzi Ridge and enter Jiaocheng.
Then get supplies and rest again from Jiaocheng, and then raid Taiyuan.
And at this time Zhe Keqiu discovered that if there was an ambush here, then the Taiyuan City might not be so rigorous.
If he's fast enough, it's not like he can't relieve Taiyuan's danger in one fight.
At that time, as long as the Taiyuan Road is blocked in his direction, wait until the old general in the division and the troops and horses left by his uncle Zhe Kexing, that is, Zhe Yanzhi, the last powerful force of their Zhe family, arrive.
It is not impossible to unite the main force of the Western Army and destroy this advance on Hedong Road.
At this time, Zhe Kezhi was slowly moving forward. There was no problem with his plan, but he still underestimated Nianhan.
"Commander, it's dark at night, I'll wait..."
"Retreat!" Nianhan closed his eyes tightly, his face showed no fluctuation, and he gave a retreat order without saying a word.
"Commander..." The deputy general Han Qixian was stunned by this order, "We have been waiting in ambush all night..."
"It's just that I had to retreat after lying in wait all night!" Nianhan chuckled. This time he opened his eyes and looked at the camp at the foot of the mountain with a playful smile on his face. "This guy is really cool." interesting.
Did he think that the commander was trying to ambush him?
With the Heavenly Gate closed, how could Lou Su be so cautious without my warning? Do you really think you can see the trap set by my commander? "
After Nianhan finished talking to himself, he stopped talking nonsense and gave the most severe order to directly let the army evacuate.
"Commander, where are we going?"
"Jiaocheng!" Nianhan chuckled again, "Just wait for those guys to come."
Nianhan didn't even tell Han Qixian why he wanted to go to Jiaocheng, but Han Qixian didn't say another word. Since this person said it, it must be true.
The army slowly left and entered the city faster than Zhe Keqiu, where they waited leisurely for Zhe Keqiu's arrival.
Compared to Nianhan, who was a hundred times more confident, Zhe Keqiu's life was much more difficult.
Songziling is not a good road in the first place, and the road that can be called a surprise attack is naturally bumpy and narrow, and you have to rush all the way to gain time.
It can be said that when the Song army walked out of Songziling, everyone was exhausted.
But when they rushed all the way to Jiaocheng, what they saw was Nianhan, deputy marshal of the left wing of the Jin Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time and even yawned loudly towards him.
"Your speed is really not good!"
After a chuckle, Nianhan immediately roared.
"attack!"
Zhe Keqiu looked at the charging Nianhan army and knew that he was being plotted. He didn't care to continue fighting with him, and immediately started to retreat with a loud roar.
"Withdraw, it will last a long time, you cut off the queen!"
If the Zhe family's army retreats, if it comes to life or death, the family will personally cut off the rear.
"Where are the children of the Zhe family!" Zhe Kejiu also knew that it was time for him to sacrifice himself. He shouted, and hundreds of children of the Zhe family and their personal guards stood up. "
"The children of the Zhe family are here!"
"Cut the rear of the army and defend to the end!"
"promise!"
Between questions and answers, hundreds of Song soldiers, wearing the best armor in the army and holding the most elite and sharp weapons in the army, walked to the front of everyone.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Broken thief!"
Both sides issued orders at the same time. During the fight, Zhe Kejiu was cut off by Nianhan who rushed over with a knife. However, Zhe Kejiu, who had lost an arm, did not scream or hesitate and slammed into his arm. The war horse stabbed his lower abdomen with a knife.
During the fight between the two, Zhe Kejiu was no match for Nianhan, who was known as the most powerful general in Daijin. Before he could have a cup of tea, Nianhan chopped off his other arm, and then chopped off his neck with a knife.
Hundreds of the bodyguards of the Zhe family tried their best to block the golden man's time to burn incense, and made a last-ditch effort for Zhe Keqiu to escape.
After getting this rare opportunity to escape, Zhe Keqiu knew that he had no hope, so he could only abandon a large amount of food and supplies, and then save his last strength to defeat Lou Su and others who blocked their way back.
Then he rushed into the Fenzhou boundary on the other road.
A desperate defense began in Fenzhou.
When Nianhan saw that Fenzhou could not be captured for a long time, he immediately gave up on the elite of the Zhe family army. Instead of fighting him here, he turned around and continued to leave.
Seeing the golden man slowly retreating, leaving only Lou Su and others to guard him, the other deputy general Zhe Keqiu beside Zhe Keqiu was also full of doubts.
"They just left like that. Could it be that they don't want to wipe us out?"
"Why does Nianhan want to annihilate us and kill us all? How can he still fish?"
At this time, Zhe Keqiu had gone through some vicissitudes, and the continuous battles had made him full of fatigue and exhaustion, but he still had to try his best to persevere.
"General, what you mean is that the Jin people want to surround the place for reinforcements?"
"It's not just us, including Taiyuan, this Nianhan is playing a big game of chess."
At this time, Zhe Keqiu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, looking in the direction of Kaifeng, his eyes still showed determination.
At the same time, a discussion arose in the Jin camp.
"Why did the marshal let Zhe Keqiu go? As long as Zhe Keqiu is killed and these Zhe family troops are massacred here, it will definitely scare many Song people on Hedong Road.
When that time comes, we can all go to Hedong! "
"Kill Zhe Keqiu? Massacre the Zhe family's army? What kind of joke are you talking about? Remember, this Zhe Keqiu is a general that I like, so I must capture him."
Nian Han looked at Brother Wanyan Yinshu, who had just been filled with indignation. If this guy hadn't been a member of the Wanyan family like himself, he would have killed this loser.
In the past, I still had some brains, but now I have only a handful of strength left. Is it possible that there are not many golden men who can fight?
Brother Wanyan Yinshu could only remain silent after being scolded by Nianhan. He wanted to continue asking but was afraid of offending the other party.
"Commander, this question about General Silver Technique is also a puzzle for us. Please Commander-in-Chief, please help us clear up my doubts."
In the end, it was Han Qixian who knew his general best and knew that he was not fooling around. His question gave Brother Yin Shu face, and also softened Nian Han's violent temper.
At this time, Na Nianhan couldn't help but sneered, and then looked at Brother Wanyan Yinshu.
"If you don't know how to use your brain in the future, I will personally twist your head off.
If I want to take this place on Hedong Road, who do you think can stop it?
Don't say that kind of teacher's way is dead. Even if the teacher's way is fine, even if he, Di Qing, is still alive, a certain family with an absolute advantage will not dare to say that it cannot fight.
Are these people worthy of fighting against me now?
But what happens after Jiang Zhe Keqiu is killed?
In addition to boosting the morale of the Song Army, what effect does it have? On the contrary, keeping him is the real benefit.
You have to know who Zhe Keqiu is and where Taiyuan is. Nowadays, only these two places on Hedong Road are still gritting their teeth and insisting on it. Baima Jinna has entered the final stage.
It doesn't matter if we wait to capture Hedong, as long as they don't die, we can use Zhe Keqiu to hold back Hedong's reinforcements.
In that kind of division, Yao Gu, Zhe Yanzhi and other veterans of the Western Army had to come and rescue them, otherwise the last bit of people's hearts in the Song Dynasty would be completely dispersed.
But now all the key points on Hedong Road have fallen into our hands, holding them back, dragging down their baggage, and using them to consume Kaifeng's baggage and supplies.
Then you can fight directly.
As for Zhe Keqiu, do you think there is anything in the world that can have a greater impact on the Song Dynasty than convincing Zhe Keqiu, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, to surrender?
Didn’t you say that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was ambitious?
Then if he saw with his own eyes that his Song Dynasty family had betrayed the Song Dynasty, would he still believe in the generals, and would he still trust those soldiers?
A humble surrender will allow other wavering forces in Jinan and other places to recognize us more.
This is an excellent opportunity for us. If we lose this opportunity, we will really... regret it! "
Nianhan spoke with hope, while everyone's scalps went numb when they heard it.
This is their commander-in-chief, Deputy Marshal Nianhan from the left side of the Kingdom of Jin.
