Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Before arriving at Chou, Wanyan Benjian had already completed the preparations.The men have put on their helmets, the horses have been saddled, and the whole army is ready to go.Ali Xi prepared everything for his master, and many of them also wore armor, ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

Wanyan Ben saw that there were [-] soldiers, according to the regulations, one regular soldier can be matched with one or two Alixi, the actual force is more than [-].Such a force of [-] is more than enough to fight against the Song Army's [-].The Song army outside Pingyao City is only [-].

At an ugly moment, Wanyan Benjian started from Qi County and headed straight to Pingyao County in the south.When they arrived outside the city, the whole army took a short rest, quietly waiting for the time to attack.When they heard the sound of a cannon in the city, the whole army got on their horses one after another and went straight to kill outside the city.

Just as Wu Jie fell asleep, when he heard the sound of cannons in the city, he yelled inwardly that he was not good, and turned over.Put on the armor in a hurry, mount a horse and patrol.

I saw a Jin army coming out of the south gate and rushing straight to the Song army's barracks.

Wu Jie hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses, and used the defensive facilities of the camp to fight with the Jin army who came.

The military camp has walls and antlers. If you have defenses, it is not easy to break through.In addition, the army in the camp can observe from a height, find out the enemy's weaknesses, and concentrate troops from the camp to attack, the attacking side generally cannot take advantage of it.

Wu Jie boarded the watchtower and watched the main attack direction of the Jin army is his main entrance.Then he commanded the troops to gather in the middle.

At this moment, people shouted and neighed from behind the camp.Hastily ordered the soldiers to check.

Not long after the soldiers came back, they crossed their hands and said, "Zhizhi, there are a large number of gold troops in the battalion, and the wall of the village can't be defended!"

Wu Jie was taken aback.Come down from the watchtower in a hurry, get on the horse, and run straight to the back village.After running not far, I met a golden general who led hundreds of golden troops to kill him.Wu Jie yelled, shook his gun and went up to him.

When the golden general saw Wu Jie coming up to meet him, he couldn't help being overjoyed.Said: "This is a general, and he has taken one of his extraordinary achievements!"

After finishing speaking, he straightened his gun, aimed at Wu Jie, and urged the horse to attack straight.

Wu Jie didn't see the situation well, so he just flicked the tip of Jin Jiang's spear lightly with the gun in his hand, and steered his horse aside.

Looking around, Wu Jie said: "What's going on? Why are there so many Jin troops behind the camp?"

A soldier rushed to the side and said: "The big thing is wrong! Zhizhi, the Jin army after the battalion may have tens of thousands of people, the camp has already been broken!"

Wu Jie was stunned for a while, and said: "Could it be that the reinforcements from the Jin army have arrived? If so, everything will stop!"

At this moment, the Jin general in front stabbed several Song soldiers, and rushed towards Wu Jie again.Wu Jie didn't dare to fight, so he led his men to the back of the camp.When I arrived at Houzhai, I saw that the wall of the village had already been broken down, and countless Jin troops were pouring in.

The Song army was dealing with Wanyan Yuying's troops in front, but suddenly the rear battalion was invaded, how to resist?Being pinched back and forth by the Jin army, they huddled together in the barracks, unable to fight back at all.Being divided into small lumps, struggling to support.

Wu Jie asked the soldiers around him: "How is Liu Qi's military camp opposite the city?"

The soldier said: "Being attacked by the Jin army inside and outside, it is almost the same as our army, and it is also struggling to support!"

Wu Jie sighed: "Our army has been unable to break through Pingyao City for a long time, which is why it is such a disaster! It is impossible to fight, retreat!"

After finishing speaking, he organized his remaining troops, slowly gathered together, and retreated to the south of the city.Go five or six miles outside the city, join forces with Liu Kai's army, and continue to retreat southward.

The Jin army followed closely behind them, chasing and harassing the Song army.It wasn't until more than ten miles away from Pingyao that Wu Jie gathered the army together.He chose a small high ridge and used his original stacking formation to push back the Jin army.

After cleaning up the remaining soldiers and counting the number of people, the Song army lost nearly half of its troops and was no longer able to encircle Pingyao.I can only pack up the remnants and retreat to Jiexiu.

The next morning, when Zhao Ding got the news of the Pingyao battle, he spat out a mouthful of blood.He leaned on the table and sat down slowly, with a gray face.

Qi Chongli was startled, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Zhao Ding to lie down behind him.The staff officer and the councilor, four people, dare not stay away from the bed for a moment.

After a long time, Zhao Ding slowly opened his eyes.He said to Qi Chongli: "Pingyao is defeated, and everything on the front line will be suspended. The reinforcements of the Jin army have arrived. I have lost a big defeat in this attack on Taiyuan. It is impossible to imagine. You tell Wang Xuanfu, how to fight this battle depends on the situation. His."

Qi Chongli hurriedly said: "Captain, it's just a defeat, not necessarily a loss. If the military power is handed over to Wang Xuanfu, there will be no way to think about it."

Zhao Ding shook his head: "The reinforcements from the Jin people have arrived, how can we win? Instead of losing out of control and making others laugh at us, it is better to hand over the military power now. You immediately send people to Pingyao and let Wang Xuanfu's army go north .We still have a Jiexiu city, he came early, and he still has a foothold."

Qi Chongli looked back at Fu Songqing beside him, and saw him nodding to him.He couldn't help but sighed, and said to Zhao Ding: "Since the governor thinks so, then so be it. These days, the governor should rest at ease and don't overwork."

After finishing speaking, he went to the outer room with Fu Songqing, Xiang Zichen and Pan Lianggui.

Sitting down, Qi Chongli said: "It is reasonable for the governor to hand over military power to Wang Xuanfu. What do you think?"

Fu Songqing said: "Once the military power is gone, it will be difficult to take it back. In that case, what is the purpose of the governor coming to Hedong? Without military power, is he just to be a military supervisor? Not to mention, the army is all owned by Wang Xuanfu. Even the Superintendent can’t do it.”

Qi Chongli had nothing to say.After a while, he said to Xiang Zichen and Pan Lianggui, "What do you think?"

Pan Lianggui said: "The post of governor is here on behalf of the imperial court, and he is exercising the power of the imperial court. How can the power of the imperial court be handed over!"

Qi Chongli said: "But the governor is not doing well now, and if the military power is not handed over, what can we do?"

Pan Lianggui said: "What Wang Xuanfu wants to do is his business, the governor is still the governor! But it's enough to talk less."

Qi Chongli thought for a while, and said: "Speaking less is a good way, let Wang Xuanfu command. But what about the Shaanxi Army? From the beginning to now, Wang Xuanfu has never interfered with the Shaanxi Army's actions."

Xiang Zichen said: "The governor is physically inconvenient to move, so let the Shaanxi army follow Xuan Fu's command for the time being."

Fu Songqing said: "If it is inconvenient for the governor to command the troops, we will sit aside and watch how the Xuanfu Division directs the battle. All departments of the Shaanxi Army still have to listen to our command. However, for the time being, they can listen to the Xuanfu Division's dispatch. They took over After the military order, just send a copy to the Governor's Mansion."

Qi Chongli thought for a while and clapped his hands: "Then let's do it! The governor's office just no longer directs the battle, he is still the highest commander in this area! We quietly watched how Wang Xuanfu fought!"

Huo Yi, the soldiers put the food on the dining table, and said to Wang Xiao: "I don't want this small northern county to be rich in rice, which tastes great. Xuanfu, I have been traveling by boat these days, and I don't have time to eat. Come here Try Huo Yi's rice."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's amazing how rice is grown here. Okay, you guys should rest and eat too. We are expected to stay here for a day, so you should have a good rest. The next few days will be all about the trails in the mountains. It’s hard to leave.”

Wang Xiaolie sat at the dining table and had just taken two bites when Wang Ruohai hurried in.Holding up the official document in his hand, he said: "I just got the news that Wu Jie and Liu Qi were attacked by the Jin army in Pingyao. The army was defeated! They have withdrawn to Jiexiu to confront the Jin people!"

Wang Xiaolie put down the bowl, looked at the map at the table, and asked, "Where is Cao Zhiyan?"

Wang Ruohai said: "The vanguard has already arrived in Jiexiu. If the whole army rushes on their way, they will be able to cross the Yangliang North Pass tomorrow."

Wang Xiaolie breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Cao Zhiyan's troops set off early and can hold Jiexiu. We have a foothold in the Tai Basin. Order Cao Zhiyan, at all costs, to defend Jiexiu City until we arrive! "

Wang Ruohai said yes.

Wang Xiaolie looked at the map on the table, and after a while, he said: "Wu Jie and Liu Qi were defeated in Pingyao, it should be the reinforcements from the Jin army arrived. Do you know who is here and how many soldiers and horses there are?" ?”

Wang Ruohai shook his head: "The news from Pingyao has not come. However, a few days ago, it was said that there was a Jin army going south, and the general Wan Yan rushed to see it, saying that it was [-] soldiers."

"That's right, with an army of [-] soldiers, how can Wu Jie and Liu Kai withstand it? So, for an army of Wu Jie and Liu Kai's size, the Ranger's reconnaissance range must be hundreds of miles away from the camp. If not , was attacked and still don’t know who the enemy is.”

While talking, Wang Xiaolie knocked on the table.After thinking for a while, he said: "Order Cao Zhiyan, we must hold back the Jin army and prevent them from dividing their troops to Xihe! After we arrive in Jiexiu, we can only attack them head-on. But the Jin army in Xihe, don't leave!"

Wang Ruohai said: "The one in Xihe is Wanyan Yinshuke, the general under Nianhan, I'm afraid they won't be so easy to fight."

Wang Xiaolie sneered: "No matter who he is, since he is doing something for the future, how can we not let him get his wish?"

As Wang Xiaohun's army enters the Taiyuan Basin, it will inevitably occupy Fenzhou soon and push the front line into the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture.If one is not careful, it is also possible that all Jin Jun will be wrapped in dumplings.The Jin army's reinforcements must set off as soon as possible in order to be able to defend Taiyuan.

However, Wang Xiaohun's purpose is to attract the arrival of reinforcements from the Jin Army, and will not occupy Taiyuan City.Instead, occupy the surrounding area first and clear the area around Taiyuan City.
