"Report!" The scout came back, "Song Jun still doesn't move!"

"General, this Song army has been motionless. Could it be that they are afraid of us?" Liu Chen, Zhewu's general, said.

"In my opinion, the Song Army wants to recharge its batteries. The more so, the less likely it is to let the Song Army rest." Zhewu said, "Pass the order, and all the armies will cooperate with their infantry and cavalry to take turns on the battlefield!"

"yes!"

"General, since the Song Army is a tired army, why not attack the Song Army directly with a large army? The general is willing to be the vanguard!" Liu Chen said.

"No!" It seemed that because he had been defeated once, Zhewu became cautious, "We are just testing, harassing, delaying, and exhausting the Song army."

"What if the Song army attacks?"

"Isn't this what we want to see the most?" Zhewu laughed, "The Song army came from afar, and they are tired. If they only defend, I can't do anything to them. If they attack, I will

If we attack it with surprise troops, we will definitely defeat the main force of the Song army in one battle!"

The defensive status, offensive status and retreat status of the army are all different.

It is most difficult to find weaknesses in a defensive state. When attacking, the army is moving.

Once the army moves, its weaknesses are easily exposed.

In the retreating state, the army is not only moving, but most of the soldiers have no will to fight and just want to go home quickly.

Once the troops retreat, the army is at its weakest.

In this way, two days passed.

The Song army was still lying there like a tortoise.

This made Zhewu want to get angry.

No matter how provocative he was, Song Jun would not move.

Many of Wu Jie's behaviors may seem absurd to ordinary people.

Compared with Yue Fei's military orders, he is more like a romantic and dandy child of aristocratic family.

But there is a deeper meaning behind his behavior.

Looking at the entire army from the level of the supreme commander, the Northwest Zhejia is not weak in strength, and Fugu is an important border town with densely populated fortresses.

Moreover, Fugu is on the north bank of the Yellow River. If the Song army wanted to attack Fugu directly, they had to cross the Yellow River.

Zhe Keqiu only needs to send out a group of troops to patrol the Yellow River. When they find the Song army crossing the river, they gather their troops to wait for their work.

Even if you cross the Yellow River, you still have to face dense fortresses.

This situation was very passive for the Song Army.

What's more, Daizhou and the Jin Army are always ready to cut off the Song Army's retreat after the Song Army falls into the quagmire of the Fugu Battle.

In addition, Yang Yizhong's grandfather Yang Zongmin led the soldiers and horses of Linzhou when the Jin army went south, but was later defeated. Linzhou, not far from Fugu, broke away from the control of the Song Dynasty.

Linzhou must also be in Zhe Keqiu's hands now.

Linzhou and Fugu are at odds with each other. If the Song army cannot fight for a long time at Baode on the south bank of the Yellow River, Linzhou, a hundred miles to the west, can send out another army to attack the Song army from the rear.

At that time, the Song army may be made into dumplings.

At least Wu Jie inferred that Zhe Keqiu would have such a layout.

In view of this situation, Wu Jie's strategy is actually very simple: hide his trump card and besiege the city for reinforcements!

How to lay siege to a city and call for reinforcements?

Wu Jie has an elite cavalry in his hands, which Zhao Ning bought with money.

However, Zhe Keqiu didn't know, and Jin Jun didn't know either.

Linzhou is a hundred miles away to the west, so it is impossible for the Song army to divide its troops to attack Baode and Linzhou at the same time.

So just encircle Baode, and if you are forced to retreat, you can ask for reinforcements from encirclement points.

In fact, it is to attract the main force of the Zhejia Army to dispatch, and then use the high mobility of the cavalry to defeat the Zhejia Army.

This is still the first step. After the Zhejia army is defeated, the rest will definitely huddle in the city to defend and ask for help from the Jin army.

At this time, you can use the heavy trebuchet to directly hit the city.

The reason why he is cowering now and not moving is because he wants to attract more Zhejia troops to leave the city, and secondly, he wants the army to rest.

Most of the roads from Lanzhou to Baode are mountain roads. In ancient times, it was very dangerous to march on mountain roads, and it was easy to be ambushed by enemy troops who had prepared them in advance.

Therefore, the Song army adopted a high-pressure rapid march.

Song troops are all living people, and they must rest after marching in a hurry.

Since we need to rest, it is definitely safer to stay a little further away from Baode City, which does not understand the situation, so that our troops can be well hidden.

Wu Jie's perfect operation was even later included in the classic case of Jiangwutang: when you don't know the enemy's situation, don't move first, wait for the enemy to make the first move, defend well, and check the situation.

But the enemy is not a fool. If he finds out that tens of thousands of you are coming, how will he give you time to rest?

Zhewu is here.

In fact, Wu Jie could directly send out cavalry to harass Zhewu from the flank and tire Zhewu's men and horses.

But he didn't do that.

Because the cavalry is a trump card left for encirclement and reinforcement later on.

If Zhejia's army discovers that the Song army has an elite cavalry, Zhe Keqiu may not necessarily mobilize Linzhou soldiers and horses to surround and kill the Song army.

Maybe the situation would become one where the walls are fortified and the country is clear, and Wu Jie would fall into an extremely passive position.

It is said that Zhewu's men and Yang Zheng's men went back and forth there to scare each other.

Zhewu: Come here!

Yang Zheng: Come here!

Zhewu: Come here!

Yang Zheng: Come here!

…

Until April 13th, the Song Dynasty had rested for three full days. Early this morning, Yang Zheng received an order to steadily attack the enemy with infantry.

The so-called steady attack means only defeating, not pursuing.

On this day Zhewu sent several more battalions to tease her.

According to the old rules, the two sides shot arrows, swore at each other, and, as expected, pretended to rush a few times.

But this time, Song Jun stopped pretending.

When the Zhejia Army rushed up to flirt with her, the Song Army didn't flirt with her, but directly swarmed up and started doing it!

The news immediately spread back to Zhewu's ears.

Originally, Zhewu planned to let the forwards fight the Song army, and then send out a surprise force to attack the Song army from the side.

At the same time, contact Baode City. If the Song army dares to move the main force, the main force in Baode City will leave the city and join the battlefield.

However, the situation was obviously beyond his expectation.

His forward battalion was directly defeated by the Song army!

At first, he thought he heard wrongly.

It wasn't until the large-scale vanguard soldiers fled in panic that Oritake came back to his senses.

The situation is out of control!

"General, what should we do now?" Liu Chen asked.

"What should we do?" Zhewu said immediately, "Withdraw the troops!"

When the Zhejia army began to withdraw, the Song army did not pursue it.

On April 14, Zhewu returned to Baode City.

Although Oritake only lost his vanguard, he retreated after all, so it stands to reason that he was defeated.

However, in his mouth, it turned into a different scene.

He said to Zhewen: "In the past few days, I have harassed the Song army day and night. The Song army was exhausted, but the Song army was outnumbered and I was no match. Seeing that the situation was not good, in order to preserve my strength, I calmly made the decision to withdraw my troops."

Moreover, he added: "The Song army did not have a good rest under my day and night harassment. If nothing unexpected happens, the Song army will soon approach the city. If my father's main army arrives, he will dispatch the Linzhou army to surround and kill the Song army.
