A touch of fish belly white had just fallen in the east, and the Jin army slowly gathered their troops and horses, preparing to have breakfast. Those who attack at night rest, and another one comes.
At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded from the west, with a bit of sadness. With the sound of the horn, hundreds of Song Army cavalry suddenly appeared like ghosts. He didn't use the golden drum and rushed straight towards the retreating Jin army.
At this time, the fully dressed Jin army was retreating, and the rest of the Jin army were cooking. For a while, no one could stop them.
Zhang Jun held an iron mace and took the lead. He rushed to the Jin army's camp and just swung the iron mace at people's heads. Like a strong wind, it was galloping among the retreating Jin army. The Jin army was unprepared and was killed in pieces.
Li Yanxian saw it on the top of the city and said to Song Yan who was beside him: "General Zhang outside the city is very clever. He specializes in early morning and dusk, so that the Jin army will appear when they are unprepared and kill the Jin army!"
Song Yan said: "He has seven or eight hundred people. If he is just outside the city, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for many days. At this time, dozens of miles around Shaanzhou have been robbed by the Jin army, and there is nowhere to replenish food and grass. For a long-term plan, we will pass It’s best to come to town in a few days.”
Li Yanxian smiled bitterly: "Is there any food and grass in the city? If you really can't hold on outside the city, you can still go to Guozhou. No matter how difficult it is in Guozhou, there is still food and grass for hundreds of people. Why are only 300 people from the reinforcements entering the city? ?They know we are out of food."
Song Yan nodded and said no more. Shaanzhou has persisted until now. Without reinforcements, it is indeed impossible to hold it. Without food and grass, it would be useless no matter how many people entered the city. The most important thing about defending a city is never having more soldiers, but having enough food.
A red sun poked its head out from the east, casting thousands of rays of light. On the bloody battlefield, the soldiers were smeared with golden light.
Zhang Jun stationed his horse and saw a large group of Jin troops gathering in front of the military camp not far away. He raised the mace in his hand and said loudly: "I have killed enough golden dogs today! Follow me and kill to the east of the city! Don't be greedy for killing, it is not good to be trapped here by the Jin army!"
After saying that, you should urge your horse first and kill towards the east.
The Jin army sent troops to block the retreat, but Zhang Jun did not want to go back, blocking an empty space.
Lou Su stood in front of the barracks, looking at the retreating figures of Zhang Jun's men. He said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how many people are there in these Song troops?"
Wanyan Huonu next to her said: "It should be about five hundred. There should be seven or eight hundred people who left Shaanzhou yesterday, and an additional three hundred horses. From this point of view, these people must have camps nearby. , wait for them to pass."
Lou Su nodded: "Yes. These people stayed at Choosangdian yesterday. There were not many soldiers and horses in Lingbao City, so we had to let them go. I originally wanted to send troops to reinforce Lingbao today, but unexpectedly they changed places. These People are extremely cunning! You lead a thousand cavalry and don’t care about anything else, just chase them! No matter where they go, they are not allowed to run away!”
The beautiful woman sang her promise loudly.
Lou Su said: "It has been more than a month since we attacked Shaanxi Province. As long as we persist for a few more days, we will definitely break the city! If we don't go to Shaanzhou, there will be trouble in attacking the Shaanxi states! This time the army comes, we must not return without success! Li Yanxian is holding fast in the city. These Song troops are harassing outside the city, how can we attack the city! You lead the troops to hold them tightly, even if they cannot be annihilated for a while, you cannot let them come around Shaanzhou again!"
Zhang Jun led his troops away from the Jin army's barracks. When he stood on his horse and looked back, he couldn't help but sneered. No matter how hard the Jin Army is to defeat, what can they do to themselves? In particular, the Jin Army was composed of three parts. The military camps were scattered and there were many flaws in them.
At this moment, Chai Biao said: "Commander, look, a troop of soldiers and horses from the Jin camp are chasing us!"
Zhang Jun looked up and saw a Jin Army cavalry chasing him. He shook his head and said with a smile: "The Jin Army is so angry that they must have sent troops to chase us! Before leaving the new field, I had already guessed this would happen through observation! I was specially taught a tactics called guerrilla warfare!"
Chai Biao asked curiously: "I wonder what guerrilla warfare is?"
Zhang Jun touched his head: "I can't explain what guerrilla warfare is specifically. Observations say that when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue. The meaning of these words is Understand, we just have to do it.”
Chai Biao listened and laughed and said: "Commander, when the enemy advances and we retreat, it is all fatigue. When the enemy is stationed and we are harassing, isn't it more fatigued than the enemy? When the enemy is tired, how can he still have the strength to attack? When the enemy retreats , it becomes even more difficult to catch up.”
Zhang Jundao: "This is the knowledge of guerrilla warfare. How can we make the enemy tired and relax ourselves. It is observed that this battle is fought on our land of the Song Dynasty. As long as we truly defend our country, we will definitely gain The support of the people. With the support of the people, we can avoid the situation you mentioned. If we fight on the land of the Jin people, we will not be able to fight guerrilla warfare."
Chai Biao thought for a while and shook his head. I really don’t understand why I still have enough energy when I obviously do more things.
Seeing that the Jin army was slowly approaching, Zhang Jun no longer delayed and ordered the entire army to retreat. They drove hurriedly all the way to the vicinity of Shihao Town, dozens of miles away, and met the soldiers and horses waiting here before stopping.
After getting off his horse, Zhang Jun summoned several generals to his tent to discuss countermeasures.
Zhang Jun said: "We have seen clearly along the way that all the villages are in ruins. The people may have been killed by the Jin soldiers or taken prisoner. The rest have fled to the mountains. There is no place to replenish food and grass. This is sixty miles away from Shaanzhou. In the remaining days, the Jin soldiers came after me, but they were unable to replenish food and grass from the camp."
Chai Biao said: "We don't have much food and grass, so what should we do?"
Zhang Jundao: "This is what we are capable of. It is a strange thing to fight on the soil of our own country and still starve to death! Mianchi County in the east has been occupied by the Jin army, with more than a hundred Jin troops stationed. We must lure the incoming Jin army Only by staying far away from Mianchi County can we cut off their food and grass."
Jiang Qingdao: "What do you mean by control, we are going to attack Mianchi?"
Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head: "You are so idiotic! We want to divert the Jin army away, why bother to attack the city! If we attack Mianchi, we will be unable to attack the city for a while, wouldn't we just be blocked by the chasing Jin army? We have to Heading south, toward Yongning and Changshui. Dong Xian is stationed there, with many soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass. They are also soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, so can he stand idly by?"
The other people nodded together after listening, and then understood what Zhang Jun meant. Zhai Xing's army was not enough to rescue Shaanzhou, and it could not leave his camp too far. But there is no problem in cooperating with Wang Xiaolie in fighting.
Under Zhai Xing, Dong Xian was a relatively independent force. It was first active in Ruzhou and Tangzhou. After it was assigned to Zhai Jin, the base area was moved to the west of Henan Prefecture. Today's Henan Prefecture, Mianchi and other counties north of Luoyang City were occupied by the Jin army. To the west is Dong Xian, to the south is Zhai Xing, and to the east are some rebels from Kaifeng.
As long as Zhang Jun can adapt to the mountainous area, he can cooperate with Dong Xian. The pursuing Jin army moved in and became the meat of the two armies.
