After strangulating the three thousand Jin Army cavalry, Gaokan immediately ordered the entire army to reorganize and march straight to Daming Mansion.
The Jin Army should not know in a short time that these three thousand cavalry have been eaten by themselves. If they can take advantage of the Jin Army to reach the front before they can react, then there will be hope for entering the city.
The army came out of Guantao City in a mighty manner and marched at full speed all night.
By the evening of the next day, wherever the army went, the tall city walls of Daming Mansion could be vaguely seen from high places.
However, although Damingfu City is right in front of us, there is still an obstacle between the army and Damingfu City.
Just outside Damingfu City, a Jin Army camp was stationed here.
Gao Kan took Yang Zhi, Cao Qi, Xu Sheng and others to stand on the high ground and looked at the Jin Army camp opposite from a distance. Judging from the activities in the camp, there should be about two thousand people and horses among them.
While observing, Gao Kan said: "It seems that the Jin army on the opposite side didn't know that those soldiers and horses had already asked us to eat them in one bite."
"What the young master said is absolutely true. If we can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attack the camp overnight, we will definitely win a complete victory!" Yang Zhi said solemnly.
Gao Kan glanced at him and then said: "I thought so too, but in this attack on the camp, our army will fight the enemy head-on, and we must ensure that all the enemy troops are surrounded and killed here, and no one escapes. "
"The immediate plan is to call General Cao and General Xu to lead their troops and divide their troops into two groups to encircle them."
When Cao Qi and Xu Sheng heard this, they immediately said: "The last general will take the order!"
Gao Kan looked at them and continued: "You are all infantry. From here to the Jin Army camp, there are still ten or twenty miles. If the Jin Army can detect the traces in advance, they will definitely lead the cavalry to attack. , it is difficult to build a suitable defense on flat ground and it is inconvenient to fight."
"So, let's wait until sunset, then the whole army will march quietly under the cover of night, and then attack when they reach the enemy's camp near the left."
The two of them listened to Gao Kan's words and naturally accepted the order.
Yang Zhi asked from the side: "Master, what about us?"
"This surprise attack to encircle the Jin army will be mainly done by infantry. Yang Zhi, you will lead the cavalry. After the infantry is sent out first, it will be sent out from behind to raid the outside."
Gao Kan's eyes flickered and he added: "You have two missions. The first is to prevent the Jin army from joining forces to find the weak points in our army's encirclement and forcefully break through the encirclement to escape. You must block it immediately so that they have nowhere to escape. "
"In addition, we must carefully observe the surroundings and pay attention to whether enemy reinforcements are coming. If so, we must also send out an alarm in advance so that the infantry surrounding the enemy can deploy defenses in advance."
"In short, remember one thing, both infantry and cavalry must be strictly controlled, and the main purpose is to encircle and annihilate the Jin army in the opposite camp. These dogs are the enemies who came out of Xingtang and killed countless of my compatriots along the way. One by one Don’t let them go, everything else comes second.”
"If there is any accident during the battle, the generals in charge of each department must strictly restrain their troops so that the formation will not be disordered."
"I will obey the order!" several people answered at the same time, cupping their fists.
Gaokan arranged everything, and after nightfall, the army quietly sent out.
It took more than an hour before the infantry finally reached the left side of the Jin army's camp.
As a signal of fire rose into the sky, soldiers and horses from all walks of life roared and rushed into the Jin Army's camp, but the Jin Army had not even realized what was going on at this time.
He responded to the challenge in a hurry, and was naturally killed in pieces.
Seeing that something was not going well, the commander of the camp encouraged some men and horses to gather together. Sure enough, he found a place and charged forward to get out of trouble.
The infantry on the left and right immediately surrounded them, but they were still a little slow. Finally, the cavalry was allowed to break out of the defense and fled to the northwest.
Yang Zhi led the cavalry and waited in the surrounding formation. When he saw the Jin army breaking out over there, he immediately led his troops to kill.
The escaped Jin Army cavalry had only gone four or five miles when Yang Zhi led his troops to block them.
The two armies immediately reached a point where they were fighting. The escaping Jin army was already panicking and had few men and horses. Suddenly they bumped into Yang Zhi's murderous cavalry army. They struggled for a few rounds and were killed. A clean one.
The rebel army fought for nearly an hour and finally killed all the Jin soldiers.
Gao Kan waited in the rear until the fighting in front was over, and then came here under the escort of the guards.
When they arrived at the camp, Yang Zhi and others immediately came to visit and reported the results of the battle to Gaokan. Not a single one of the more than 2,000 Jin Army cavalry was left, and they were all killed.
After hearing this, Gao Kan praised him greatly and ordered his men to cut off the heads of all the corpses of the Jin army that could be collected and take them with them before heading to the gate of Daming Mansion.
When the army arrived at Damingfu City, it was just dawn.
The soldiers guarding the city didn't recognize them and refused to open the city gate at first. Gaokan sent someone to explain his identity, and the man went to report.
After waiting under the city for nearly half an hour, the city gate opened.
Lu Junyi and Suo Chao personally led the people and rushed out to greet them.
As soon as they saw Gaokan, they both dismounted their horses and worshiped: "Greetings, Young Master!"
Gao Kan stepped forward and helped the two men up, while saying: "Two generals, thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, you guys guarded the city and prevented Daming Mansion from falling into the hands of the enemy."
After hearing Gao Kan's words, Lu Junyi and Suo Chao stood up and looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
Seeing this, Gao Kan asked: "Why, do the two generals have something unspeakable?"
Lu Junyi sighed and said angrily: "I don't dare to hide it from the young master. I got a secret report two days ago. The gold thieves Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan led two armies to directly attack Bianliang, Tokyo. The gold thieves entered the city, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. "
"The Holy One, the royal family members, and the important ministers in the court all asked the golden thief to..."
When talking about the latter part, Lu Junyi's eyes turned red. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already very clear.
Gao Kan was stunned for a moment. In fact, when he led the troops from Zhending Mansion and rushed back to the division, he had expected that this might happen.
I just didn't expect that the Jin army was so fast and had already entered Bianliang.
What he didn't even expect was that the Jin people would be so cruel and ferocious. When they entered Bianliang City, none of the clan members of the Zhao Song official family, including the important officials in the court, were spared.
In this way, the Song Dynasty was considered to have been destroyed in a practical sense.
King Qin's army from all walks of life originally rushed to Bianliang to defend the capital.
But now that even the emperor, even the royal family members, and the ministers in the court have all been killed by the Jin people, what else can they do if they enter the capital?
Subconsciously, Gao Kan knew in his heart that the world was probably going to be completely in chaos.
But at this moment, he still had to appease Lu Junyi and Suo Chao first.
He took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry, two generals, as long as I'm still waiting, I will definitely make the golden dog pay with his blood!"
"Immortal Jin, we will never give up!"
After hearing this, the two of them looked up at Gaokan, and after pondering for a moment, they said in unison: "I will not destroy the golden thief, and I will never give up!"
Everyone behind him also followed and shouted.
