Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 237
In the handsome tent that pulled Lisu, the three of them sat around, their faces solemn, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After a long time, Yeluma said five times: "If Jingmen City is so sad, it is better for us to take a detour. Go east to take Yingzhou, bypass Zaoyang, and go north to take Tangzhou. After Tangzhou, there will be no Song Dynasty army, so we will not Difficult."

Ba Lisu sighed: "What did today's incident explain? The Song army in Jingmen in front knew our army's actions well. We can avoid them by detour? We can't. Unless you leave his defense zone, you can't think about it."

Wanyan Yuying said: "Don't panic too much. Our nearly [-] troops gather together, even if we walk slowly, we don't let the Song army take advantage of it. I don't believe that the Song army can do anything to me!"

Silence for a while.Ba Lisu nodded: "For now, this is the only way. However, April is about to enter, and the weather is hot. This area is hot and humid, so we can't stay under Jingmen City for long. If the battle is unfavorable, we have to find another The way out. Tomorrow I don’t want to send an army to the east and see what’s going on around Fuzhou. If there are not many Song troops there and Jingmen can’t be captured, then go along Fuzhou to Ezhou.”

After hearing this, Wanyan Yuying couldn't help frowning: "Doing this will not only increase the enemy's prestige and destroy my morale! Since we crossed the river, we have fought so many battles, which one is our opponent! A new leader of the militia, what ability does he have?" !"

Ba Lisu said: "From the bottom of my heart, I also think what you said is right. But this time I have a strange feeling that the Wang Observation in front is not easy to deal with. If one is not careful, the entire army of nearly ten thousand will be wiped out, alas , It’s not impossible. I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I have to figure out a way out. Tomorrow we will join forces and not be too far away. When we arrive at the foot of Jingmen City, we must set up a stronghold far away and see the situation clearly.”

Seeing Ba Lisu's resolute attitude, Wanyan Gouying and Yelvma had no choice but to agree.

In Wang Xiaolie's tent, Chen Yuyi, Niu Gao, and Xie Qian sat around the case, looking at the documents on the table.

After looking at it for a while, Xie Qian said: "Our soldiers hate these copywriting the most. But today is different. After reading the writing on the case, I feel more at ease. To be honest, it seems that the Jinjun who came here is not difficult to deal with. "

Chen Yuyi said: "The defense is commanded properly, and the generals who fight are shrewd and capable, so we can say that."

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a saying in the art of war. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Almost everyone who leads a soldier can say these eight words. But it is very difficult to do it. Especially in recent years, many generals have ignored it. The two armies fought, and the scouts came out everywhere. Whoever wins the scouts and can control the battlefield will have the upper hand. The Jin army is led by cavalry, and the cavalry of this dynasty is weak, so their cavalry can be unscrupulous. When we arrived, we suffered a dumb loss. Our army has nearly 5000 cavalry, except for the 200 light cavalry in the Niugao army, and the rest are all divided into small groups and sent to the front. The Jin army's scout cavalry has already eaten [-] people. Now the Jin army The army knows nothing about the situation in Jingmen City. This is our advantage!"

Different from other generals, Wang Xiaolie paid special attention to pre-war reconnaissance, especially the cavalry's control of the battlefield.Of my five thousand cavalry, a small half were assigned to carry out reconnaissance missions.And according to the terrain, each team has its own mission area.Once the Golden Army Scout Cavalry is found, immediately contact the nearby squad to form an absolute advantage, and carry out encirclement and annihilation.The Jin army had never encountered such a thing, Wanyan Guoying's scouts were all wiped out.

In terms of individual combat capability, the cavalry of the Song army is weaker than that of the Jin army.But in terms of the team's ability to cooperate, the Song Army is slightly stronger than the Jin Army.In this kind of large-scale reconnaissance and cavalry operations, the Song Army far surpassed the Jin Army.Jin Jun's weak organizational ability is a concrete manifestation.

The current Jin Jun is actually blind and knows nothing about the arrangement of Jingmen.

Niu Gao said: "I've been infatuated for decades, and this is the first time I've seen such a battle. Until today, I didn't understand why the defense needed to set up new barracks to train recruits and a school for training officers. This battle is comparable to that at the beginning of the year. It was much easier to save Shanzhou."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Eight hundred miles, such a long distance is not easy to travel. Now we have the upper hand and we are fighting at the door of our house. It can be said that we have the upper hand. If there is an accident in this battle, it will be really embarrassing!"

After hearing this, everyone laughed together.

Xie Qian said: "Before the defense came, I was worried. I was afraid that it would not be the opponent of the Jinren. When the defense came, I was afraid that the Jinren would run away."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Yes, the consecutive defeats in the past few years have caused a psychological shadow on many Song people.Even if the troops are superior, the geographical situation is superior, the morale is superior, and I have all the advantages, I still dare not say that I have defeated the Jin army.The Jin army was full of confidence. No matter how powerful the opponent's Song army was or how few its own troops were, they still dared to take the initiative to attack.

This situation was caused by the weak military strength of the previous Song Dynasty.Only by winning battles and continuing to win battles can we turn around.

Ten miles to the south of Jingmen City, the Jin army camped.Several generals gathered in Ba Lisu's tent to discuss matters, all of them looked livid.

Ba Lisu said: "There is still no news of the scouts we sent out today. This kind of thing has never happened before! The Song army is short of horses, and the cavalry is not trained. How can I be the opponent of my scouts! This must happen Strange!"

Wanyan Yuying said: "Even if we encounter the Song army scouts, it is impossible that none of them can escape! This is really unbelievable. We don't know how many Song troops are defending Jingmen now, and how to set up their formations. Could it be that You have to go to Jingmen City to find out?"

Ba Lisu caressed his forehead, bowed his head and remained silent.Crossing the river from Huangzhou, although the Queen Mother Longyou was not caught up, the battle of the Jin army has been very smooth.No matter who the Song general is, no matter how determined his will to fight, and no matter how many Song troops there are, he has never failed.Who would have thought that it would be so strange to arrive at the small city of Jingmen on the way back.

Yeluma Wudao: "Could it be that there are some strange people in the Song army who can use black magic? If not, how could such a thing happen? Your Majesty, this battle is extremely dangerous, we'd better avoid it as soon as possible."

Ba Lisu said angrily: "We have an army of nearly ten thousand, and we have to avoid any monsters and monsters! Don't shake the morale of the army. When we arrive at Jingmen City tomorrow, we will know everything! We will face each other head-on. I don't believe that the Song army still has so many tricks!"

Yelv Mawu shook his head.Although he didn't take Ba Lisu's words seriously, he didn't dare to say any more.

Wanyan Yuying said: "We don't know anything about the Song army's deployment, so we can't rush. The whole army should walk slowly. According to the guide, Jingmen City is ten miles to the north. By noon, how can we go?" arrive."

"That's it!" Ba Lisu was extremely annoyed, and stopped discussing this matter.

On a hillside outside the city, Zhang Chi was leaning on a hillside, eating a piece of cake.The two subordinates were lying on the top of the hill, looking at the golden camp in the distance.

Li Qingdao: "It's only ten miles away from Jingmen, and the Jin people actually set up camp. It seems that many of their scouts have been killed in the past few days, which frightened the Jin army. Now they don't send spies out, just stay there. "

Zhang Chi said: "This is the hinterland of our Great Song Dynasty, how can we allow the Jin people to do whatever they want! Keep an eye on them, as long as there are Jin people who come out, they will not be allowed to go back! Kill a few more scouts, and everyone will make some contributions."

Li Qing said with a smile: "We have killed a lot in the past few days. I wonder if there will be rewards in the army."

Zhang Chi turned his head and said solemnly: "We are different from other armies. We don't fight for rewards! We don't fight at ordinary times, and the military salary will never be reduced. Not to mention the tax exemption, and the elders at home will be taken care of. You don't want to." Just like those incompetent soldiers in the army, they only recognize a word of money in their eyes! Defense often says, defend the home and defend the country, be a good man!"

Seeing that Zhang Chi's complexion was not good, several soldiers quickly put away their smiles and said yes together.

This is a characteristic of the times. In fact, Wang Xiaolie's army will also be rewarded according to military achievements, heads obtained, etc.However, compared with other armies, the rewards in Wang Xiao's hunting army are not high, and are relatively average.

This is related to the organizational capabilities of the army and localities.If the organizational ability is not enough, we can only increase the amount of cash rewards.There is no contradiction between soldiers being loyal to the country and having material rewards.

Early in the morning of the second day, before the sun rose, the Jin army broke out of camp early and marched northward along the road.

Seeing the hills slowly appearing not far away, Wanyan Yuying said: "I often hear people say that Jingmen is located at a mountain pass, and its land is like a gate. Now it seems that this is true. The south is full of plains, and there are more mountains here."

As a forward, Wanyan Yuying's team has been connected with the Chinese army.The golden army gathered together.It is not far from Jingmen City, and today they will no longer send scouts and head straight for Jingmen.

On the hillsides on both sides, cavalry from the Song Army ran past from time to time.Jin Jun saw it and had nothing to do.

At noon, Wanyan Yuying arrived at Jingmen City.The city is not big, the city wall is not high, it looks very simple.It's just that on both sides of the city, there is a military camp in the west connected to the West Mountain, and the military camp in the east stretches for several miles, connecting with the East Mountain.

Standing in front of the formation and looking again and again, Wanyan Yuying couldn't think of any solution.Judging from the layout of the Song army, the preparations are sufficient, and it is obvious that they have the idea of ​​​​fighting with the Jin army for a long time.The army array is well arranged, and no flaws can be seen.

Not long after, Ba Lisu brought Yeluma Wu to watch the enemy in front of the formation together.

After watching for a long time, Yeluma said five times: "I have marched thousands of miles and fought hundreds of battles. Today is the most difficult day."

Ba Lisu nodded: "Looking at the Song Army's barracks, the layout is well-organized, and every aspect has been thought of. In addition, our scouts have been wiped out by the Song Army in the past few days, and the front is not a kind person! Make meals early tonight, Rest early. Tomorrow morning, we will see the winner in the battle with the Song army!"

All will say yes together.

At this point, there is no other way, the rest is to attack the position.What the Jin army is best at is also the strong attack of positions.What happens to the Song Army in front depends on tomorrow.Up to now, no Song army can withstand the strong attack of the Jin army.
