Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 901 Advance Attack
Zhao Ding didn't fall asleep until very late, and the next morning, when it was dawn, he just fell asleep.

Suddenly, Qi Chongli rushed into Zhao Ding's bedroom.Seeing that Zhao Ding was still lying high, he hurriedly woke him up.

Zhao Ding woke up, his eyes were sleepy, and he was stunned for a while.Turning around and seeing Qi Chongli, he asked, "Advisor, what's the matter? You called me so early!"

Qi Chongli took a breath and said: "Captain, something bad happened! We just came from the front line of Pingyao to report that the Jin army suddenly came out of the city to attack last night. Our army was unprepared and was pushed back five miles by them. Moreover, the Jin army killed a lot of people! "

Zhao Ding was stunned for a while, and then said: "It's okay to retreat a few miles. Regroup, and go forward again today."

Qi Chongli said: "Five miles back, the high platform built a few days ago was flattened by the Jin army, how is this not a big deal? To attack Pingyao City, we had to rebuild the high platform, and a few days passed. If this continues, how can we get it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ding woke up completely.Sitting up abruptly, he said, "Wu Jie and Liu Kai are really useless! A small Pingyao city was attacked for a few days, not only did not break the city, but the Jinren came back! If things go on like this, what are you talking about? Taiyuan!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered his soldiers to bring clothes quickly, get dressed and get up.

In the Jinzhou prefectural office, Wang Xiaolie looked around and said to Wang Ruohai, "This place is too cramped and small as a headquarters. But now that the war is starting, our headquarters will definitely not be located here. Don't even bother."

Wang Ruohai said: "Of course the headquarters should be located around Taiyuan City, why is it here?"

While talking, the two entered the official hall.At this time, Jinzhou Zhizhou had moved out, and the official hall seemed empty.In the middle, there is a big table, which looks very abrupt.This is Wang Xiaolie's habit, first set up a big table in the headquarters.

Sitting down at the table, Wang Xiaolie asked, "How is the front line now?"

Wang Ruohai ordered the staff next to him to come over and set up a map, drawing the situation of the Taiyuan Basin in detail.Pointing to the road: "Zhao Dudu commanded Wu Jie, Liu Kai and Guan Shigu to march northward and quickly occupied Jiexiu. Then, Guan Shigu led his troops to attack Xihe, where Fenzhou was stationed, and Wu Jie and Liu Kai attacked Pingyao. Obviously, there was a plan to falsely attack Xihe and actually attack Pingyao. However, the attack did not go smoothly, and now they are all under the city."

Wang Xiaolie looked at the map for a while and asked, "Who is the general of the Jin army guarding these two cities?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Wanyan Yinshu can personally guard Xihe, while Pingyao will be guarded by his son Wanyan Yuying."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "With this arrangement, the Jin Army does not want to give up the two cities. Yin Shuke and his son, one on the left and one on the right, guarded the entrance to the Taiyuan Basin. They are very determined. With such determination, they are only afraid of the attack of the Shaanxi Army. It’s not going to go well.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Although Guan Shigu's soldiers and horses are slightly more than the Wanyan Yinshu in Xihe City, but the Jin army relies on the city, Guan Shigu can't take advantage of it. From the time he arrived at Xihe City, he was rushed by the Jin army. Several times, now they can only confront each other five miles away from the city. Although Wu Jie and Liu Kai have the superior force, Wanyan Yuying has no choice but to close the gates of the city. Later, they came up with a way to build a high platform outside the city. Suppress the city with artillery. Not wanting to wait until the high platform was built, Wanyan Yuying led troops out of the city, causing them to retreat five miles. At this time, the golden soldiers leveled the high platform."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while, and said: "The more anxious Shaanxi is, the more it will follow the way of the Jin Army. If we continue to fight for a few more days, it is possible to be broken by the Jin Army's branch. Alright, we will recruit the staff in a while. We have a meeting with several divisions in Shaanxi to study what we should do next."

Wang Ruohai nodded in agreement, and went out to inform.

It turned out that Wang Xiaolie thought that the Jin army would abandon Fenzhou and retreat to Taiyuan Prefecture to resist again.Unexpectedly, Wanyan Yinshu had a bigger heart and didn't take the Shaanxi Army seriously.Xihe is the resident of Fenzhou, and Pingyao and Pingyao are the only two remaining cities in Fenzhou.One east and one west, live at the gateway into the Taiyuan Valley.Wanyan Yinshu can defend here, because he wants to defend Fenzhou, and even plans to repel the Song army.

Sighing, Wang Xiaolie understood that if Wanyan Yinshu could do this, there must be someone to rely on.This reliance, of course, is Nianhan's reinforcements.

Wang Xiaolie concentrated six divisions, a total of 15 people in Jinzhou.In addition, there were two divisions from Longde Mansion, and two divisions from Shizhou and Fuzhou, with a total of nearly 20 troops, besieging Taiyuan Mansion.Under such a tight siege, Wanyan Yinshuke's confidence shows that he has the scale of reinforcements from the Jin army.

Sitting on the chair, Wang Xiaolie stared at the map and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, the staff of the headquarters entered the official hall one after another.Seeing Wang Xiaolie's appearance, they all sat down in their seats.

Wang Xiaolie raised his head, looked at the crowd, and said: "The Shaanxi Army has already started fighting with the Jinren in front, and it seems that the result of the battle is not very good. We have to make a decision, what should we do. It is not just the Jin army on the opposite side, There must be reinforcements from the Golden Army, how should we deal with it?"

Wang Yandao: "What else can I do? Soldiers come to block, level the earth, and everything is subject to the order of the Xuanfu army!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "What we are going to face this time is all the strength of the Jin Army's West Route Army. We will do our best and risk our lives! I have already made arrangements for the final victory. The most important thing now is How to resist the attack of the Jin army."

Ma Kuo frowned: "Xuanfu, we already have 15 troops in Jinzhou, why should we care about the Jin army?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now we send troops, it is not difficult to defeat Wanyan Yinshu, and it is not difficult to occupy Taiyuan. The difficulty is, how to stop the Jin army reinforcements coming? People have no foresight, there must be immediate worries, the Jin army reinforcements are forced Worrying near the eyebrows."

After being silent for a while, Niu Gao said: "Only Xuanfu can know this kind of situation, how can I know? No matter what Xuanfu gives orders, don't come into the water, go into the fire, we will risk our lives." .”

Wang Xiaolie looked at the crowd and said, "From now on, our army must be quickly assembled and divided into several parts. One part will attack Taiyuan Mansion, and the other part must pay attention to reinforcements. It is still estimated that the Jin Army's reinforcements will start from now on. They will come one after another. By October, all reinforcements should arrive. Before October, we should focus on annihilating the Jin army as much as possible. In this way, we will have an advantage in October."

The rest of the people listened and nodded.

Wang Xiaolie said: "So when we participate in the battle, we must be fierce and ruthless! Don't be indecisive and give the enemy a chance to breathe! Now that the Shaanxi army has settled down in Xihe and Pingyao, we should decisively join the battle. There must be no hesitation. , Take the two cities decisively!"

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Wang Xiaolie continued: "Push the battle line forward, the closer to Taiyuan City the better. Compress the enemy's battle space and let them lose room to maneuver. They can only fight us to the death under Taiyuan City!"
