Fenghou

Chapter 600
After a moment of silence, Niu Gao raised his hand and said, "But Fushi County, Yanzhou?"

Chen Qing gave a thumbs up and praised: "Niu Tongzhi has a unique vision, how did he think of it?"

Niu Gao scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I infer that the Jin soldiers will cross the Yellow River from Yanzhou, so their first target must be Fushi County. Controlling Fushi County will also control the production area of ​​Menghuoyou. In addition, Fushi The county has a large population, and they can also get food supplements, and then use Fushi County as a starting point to attack Luojiao County and Zhongbu County in the south, and the Jin soldiers will be able to open the passage to enter Guanzhong step by step."

Veteran Guan Shigu frowned and said: "The premise of attacking Fushi County is that the Jin soldiers attack Shaanxi Road from the north, but what if the Jin soldiers go to Pujin Pass or Tongguan?"

Chen Qing said calmly: "We are facing an experienced veteran of the Golden Army, and Wanyan Yinkeshu is very good at intrigue, so we also need to strengthen defenses at Tongguan and Pujin Pass, but the light is not right, the strategy You can't win at the top, you must complement each other to be king. We understand this, and Wanyan Yinkeshu also understands it. It's just that Pujin Pass and Tongguan are not suitable for large-scale attacks. Jinbing has many experiences of going south from Luoshui Road , so I judge that the main force of the Jin soldiers is to go to Yanzhou to cross the Yellow River, and then Pujin Pass or Tongguan will send out surprise troops."

Liu Qiong raised his hand and said: "If the Jin soldiers occupy Yanzhou, they may also detour to Pingliang Mansion, and then take the Jingshui Road to enter Guanzhong."

Yang Zaixing disapproved, "Go around the Jingshui Road, what about the logistics?"

Liu Qiong retorted: "I have experience. If the road is familiar, the cavalry only needs to prepare six days of dry food to rush from Yanzhou to Pingliang. The farmers in the prefecture and the sheep in Yuanzhou are their source of food. If [-] cavalry enter Guanzhong from Jingshui Road, the consequences will be serious."

Jiang Yanxian said: "Commander Liu is right. There are [-] defenders in Pingliang County. You can send an experienced general to defend them, and then deploy another defense in Tanzheng Gorge and Xinping County. As long as the defenders are not careless, Pingliang There will be no problems with the waterways."

Niu Gao raised his hand and said, "I recommend General Wang Duo to guard Pingliang County. He is very organized in organizing civilians and deploying Jundu. If we add another [-] defenders to Pingliang County, Pingliang County will definitely be able to block the enemy."

Chen Qing nodded, "General Wang Duo is fine. There are only [-] defenders in Pingliang County, which is indeed a little less. Three thousand troops will be transferred from Chengji County to support, of which Pingliang County will support [-] troops, and another [-] people will reinforce Jiandao Pass. Prevent the Jin soldiers from breaking through the Jianchao pass and entering the pass from the Xishui."

After a pause, Chen Qing said again: "The defenders of Tanzheng Gorge and Xinping County were dispatched from Guanzhong."

Zhou Kuan suggested: "If the army is insufficient, I suggest that some troops be transferred back from Bashu to supplement the defense in various places in Guanzhong."

Everyone agreed that it was really unnecessary for Bashu to release [-] troops at this critical moment.

Chen Qing listened to everyone's suggestions, and immediately ordered the transfer of [-] troops from Bashu and [-] troops from Hanzhong. The [-] troops were used to increase the defense of various places.

At the end of the discussion, Chen Qing said to Niu Gao: "Fushi County is the most important node, and it is also the city where the Jurchens will attack aggressively. Currently there are [-] defenders in Fushi County, and I will give you another [-] troops. Lead the [-] troops to defend Fushi County no matter what, don't worry about the fire oil production area, as long as Fushi County is not lost, the entire operation of the enemy army will not be smooth, I will entrust this task to you."

Niu Gao nodded silently, and said: "The humble job may need some weapons and supplies."

"No problem, I can give you whatever weapons and supplies you need!"

Shaanxi Road and East Road are bounded by the Yellow River, which is the second vertical line of the Yellow River. Although it is only blocked by the Yellow River, the communication between the Qin and Jin Dynasties is like a natural moat, especially in the middle of the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon, which is thousands of miles long. The situation is steep, just like a barrier that is thousands of miles long.

Since ancient times, the Qin and Jin Dynasties have used ferry boats to communicate, forming dozens of ferries, large and small, but even if they cross the Yellow River, they cannot enter the hinterland of Guanzhong or the hinterland of northern Shaanxi. They must continue to go south or north along the Yellow River. Go, look for the pass and enter the hinterland.

This morning, [-] Jurchen troops appeared in front of the Yongheguan Ferry in Shizhou on the Hedong Road. This ferry and the Qingshuiguan Ferry on the opposite bank have long been abandoned. Crossing the river, the nearby villages and small towns have long been destroyed, and the surviving people have all disappeared, and the ferry has become deathly silent.

[-] Jurchen cavalry led by Wanyan Huonu used thousands of large leather rafts to build a pontoon bridge. In just half a day, a pontoon bridge with a width of two feet and wooden boards on the top was built, with four An iron chain secures the pontoon.

'clatter!clatter!clatter!clatter! The Jurchen cavalry led their horses and galloped on the pontoon bridge. They were not worried. Yesterday afternoon, [-] infantrymen crossed the river on rafts, and there was no enemy within [-] miles from the north and south banks.

The task of Wanyan Huonu is to cross the Yellow River, set up a logistics camp at the mouth of Qingshui River, and rush along the south bank of Qingshui to attack Fushi County hundreds of miles away. Of course, the Jin soldiers also obtained information in advance. Army, the main task is to guard the oil wells.

Although there are [-] defenders, the strategic position of Fushi County is extremely important. Fushi County must be captured before they can continue to march south into Guanzhong.

At this time, Wanyan Yinkeshu was leading an army of [-] and a logistics team on the way to the east bank of the Yellow River, only two days away from the vanguard Wanyan Huonu's army.

Wanyan living girl volunteered to be a vanguard. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. His father, Wanyan Loushi, had passed away for many years, but he still could not get revenge. He kept this hatred in his heart and waited for it. The opportunity to attack Chen Qing, and at this moment, he finally waited for this day.

Wanyan Huonu wished she could fly to Guanzhong, kill Chen Qing's family, and cut Chen Qing into pieces with her own hands. Of course, such a beautiful thing could only happen in his dreams.

The west bank of the Yellow River was deserted within [-] miles, and dozens of villages had been completely destroyed. The surviving people were moved to Guanzhong. The Jin soldiers were not worried that the Song army would attack. big camp.

As soon as it got dark, Wanyan Huonu led [-] cavalry and set off. They rushed westward along the south bank of Qingshui, and rushed towards Fushi County, which was [-] miles away.
Just two days before the Jin soldiers started to cross the river, Niu Gao led an army of [-] and [-] camels to Fushi County. The [-] camels brought various military supplies needed to defend the city. On the night of unloading, Ten thousand camels returned to Guanzhong with [-] barrels of fire oil, and Niu Gao began to deploy various defenses.

The first is to evacuate all the people outside the city into the city, leaving no livestock or grain outside the city, and then start deploying [-] small trebuchets and [-] bed crossbows at the top of the city.

The [-] troops were divided into three shifts to defend the city day and night.

For several days, Niu Gao patrolled every corner of the city, plugging every loophole in the defense.

The streets are filled with thousands of tents, all of which are people who have moved in from outside the city, with one tent for each household.

Niu Gao suddenly discovered that hundreds of tents had been set up at the foot of the city wall, and he immediately said dissatisfiedly to Sima Wu Zhen: "How can a tent be set up at the base of the city wall? Enemy rockets shot in, and they were all set on fire, and all of them were moved away."

Wu Zhen hurriedly said: "The humble job will arrange for them to move away!"

"and also!"

Niu Gao pointed at the houses with a whip, "All the wooden houses within a hundred steps of the city wall were demolished, and the people were told that the land would not move for them. After the war, the government would help them rebuild."

Wu Zhen knew that there were not many wooden houses, and the amount of demolition was not very large, and tents could be used to temporarily resettle them. He asked again, "Where are other houses?"

"Other houses are not afraid of fire, so there is no need to demolish them for the time being. If the enemy's trebuchets come over, they still have to be demolished."

"Understand, let's deal with it immediately."

Wu Zhen left in a hurry, and a cavalryman rushed to report, "An eagle letter was sent from the Yellow River, and the scouts found that [-] Jurchen cavalry had crossed the Yellow River."

Niu Gao nodded, "The enemy is coming!"
