Chapter 598
"Marson, the Song army is catching up." At the same time, the Jin soldiers also saw the traces of Li You's army, and a prodigal horse rushed into Wanyan Zonghan's tent and said.
"How many people are there? Whose flag is it? Which army are there?" When asked the last item, Wanyan Zonghan's voice couldn't help but tremble. Based on the rewards of the Changsheng Army and the defeated Liao army that had been successively gathered in the past two days, he probably restored the battle process of the day born under the city of Bianliang. According to his judgment on the combat effectiveness of the Qi family army, even if it was not Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong who attacked that day, but him and Wanyan Zongwang, there would be a crushing defeat.
So if there was that mysterious "celestial soldier" in the army that came this time, Wanyan Zonghan would not dare to fight with them at all. He could only abandon the nearby ships that were still under construction, and throw away the pursuers and find him to cross the river.
"The Song army let go of scouts everywhere. The young one dared not get too close, so they only dared to look at the mountaintops in the distance." The horse explored first explained, and then reported, "The Song army marched in a row and was at least 50,000 people. We couldn't see the banner of the general clearly. However, judging from the clothes of those soldiers, there were the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army in the northwest, and the demon soldiers who used magic tricks to injure people at the top of the city of Bianliang. Judging from the degree of their march, they should attack here tomorrow at the latest." When talking about the Qi family army, the horse explored was also a little scared.
"Tomorrow?" Wanyan Zonghan was shocked, and then he turned his attention to Wanyan Zhumu. "Jiamu, how long will it take for those ferries to be repaired?" Because Wanyan Xiyin had already followed Wanyan Zong to the other side of the river, he could only let Wanyan Zhumu do these things now, but Wanyan Zhumu was good at fighting, but there were not many good ways to do these things.
"Marson, these ferries will probably be repaired in three days." Wanyan Jiemu gave such an answer that would not satisfy Wanyan Zonghan after her subordinates' reminder.
"Three days?" Wanyan Zonghan was worried. It seemed that he was destined to be unable to cross the river with these ships. He immediately issued an order, "I ordered the troops to immediately set up camps and camps, and we continued to go east and find another place to cross the river."
Wanyan Jiemu and others did not object. Their military strength is now less than that of the Song army. If they were still the former imperial guards or the Western army, they would not be worried. However, with that inexplicable "celestial soldier", they did not have much confidence in defeating the enemy, so escaping from other places would naturally become the best choice.
As for staying here while sticking to continue building ships and waiting for crossing the river, it is a difficult strategy. Not to mention whether the ships can be built until they are built, even if they can be built well, would they still dare to cross the river under the attack of the Song army? At that time, let alone the attack of the Song army, just the soldiers who fought to board the ship could sink the ship.
"Marson." The siege who had just discovered the horse could not help but remind him, "I just saw that the marching routes of the Song army were not all coming towards the camp. They also divided two groups of people and marched toward the east and west sides. It seemed that they wanted to block our way to march in the east and west directions."
After finally leaving these people on the bank of the Yellow River, how could Li You not beware of them escaping? The order he gave these two armies was that Wanyan Zonghan must cut off the road to escape from east to west as quickly as possible. If he encountered the attack of Jin soldiers, don’t think about defeating his opponents. Just delay their progress. He will take the Qi army to surround them and deal with them.
"This is to fight to the death with us on the bank of the Yellow River." Wanyan Zonghan realized that they had no other choice now and could only fight to the death with the Song army. Only by completely defeating this upcoming army can they return to their hometown.
"Since that's the case, you don't have to go east. Save some horsepower and keep it tomorrow for the battle." Wanyan Jiemu's fierce aura burst out, and he stood up and asked for his orders, "Marson, I am willing to be the vanguard in the battle tomorrow and lead my subordinates to break through the enemy formation."
"Okay, let's leave everything to Jamu." Wanyan Zonghan also made a quick decision. After he figured out the current situation, he immediately suppressed all his bets. "In addition to your own subordinates, the two thousand elite cavalry under my command will also be handed over to your commander. Tomorrow, the demon soldiers will not be allowed to form a formation of chariots. After you disrupt their formation, I will lead the army to suppress it."
After these two days of conversation with the defeated soldiers of the Changsheng Army, Wanyan Zonghan understood that the excellent defense of the chariot formation was the fundamental reason for their great defeat. As long as they were not allowed to set up the chariot formation, the courage of the Jurchen cavalry would be a chance to win.
Then Wanyan Zonghan issued a series of orders, and the Jin army camp immediately moved. The soldiers who had rested for several days took out their armor, sharpened their swords and guns, fed the war horses with materials, carefully adjusted each ribbon on the saddle, and prepared to attack the Song army at any time.
After the generals in the tent went down to arrange the tasks, Wanyan Zonghan was silent for a moment and sighed and called his own soldiers, "Don't follow me in the battle tomorrow." He raised his hand to stop his about to make a decision. Wanyan Zonghan lowered his voice, "Tomorrow you will stare at the ships, all piled with hay and sulfur. If my Dajin wins, then change, if the Song army wins, you will set fire to burn all these ships for me immediately."
You must know that Wanyan Zongwang and others have not yet gone far. If these ships fall into the hands of the Song army, they might immediately cross the river and continue to pursue them. Wanyan Zonghan wanted to give the Jin Kingdom a little more chance to breathe.
"Marson!" The personal soldiers did not expect that the situation in Wanyan Zonghan's heart was so bad that he would rather continue to stay by Wanyan Zonghan's side to die, but under Wanyan Zonghan's stern gaze, he still put away his discernment, wiped his tears and walked out of the camp and headed straight for the shipbuilding place.
That night, not many people in the entire Jin army camp could fall asleep peacefully. They had faced opponents with a larger number of people before, but neither the Liao Dynasty's palace army nor the Song Dynasty's imperial guards were worth mentioning in their eyes. "The Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible" is something that each of them firmly believes in, but all of this was shattered under the city of Bianliang, and the strange army knocked their pride to dust with their unprecedented tactics.
The long night finally passed, and these Jin soldiers lined up on the banks of the Yellow River to wait for the arrival of the Song army. At noon, the sound of horse hooves changed from small to large, and the banner of the Song Dynasty appeared in front of them.
"Oh? Is Wanyan Zonghan going to fight with his back?" Li You smiled at the Jin army's formation. (To be continued.)8
