Chapter 672: The Song Army Besieging the City!

Just like Zhe Wu's clever calculation, on April 15, the Song army came to Baode City and surrounded the city on three sides.

When he learned that the Song Army was coming, Zhewu said to the others: "Look, I was right, the Song Army is here."

The actual strength of the Song army was no longer hidden, with 30,000 troops spread out on three sides.

Looking from every side, there are huge crowds of people, the flags cover the sky, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

After the siege, Zhewen was not in a hurry to send out troops to fight the Song army head-on.

This is not Zhewen's decision, but an order from Zhe Kezhi.

Judging from Zhewu's two defeats, the strength of the Song army cannot be underestimated.

When the Song army set up camp in front of Baode City, Wu Jie began to feel sleepy again. He held a woman in his tent and discussed life.

When the discussion becomes very interesting, the girl will even shout.

Moreover, the humidity inside the tent is maintained very well.

The generals actually want to attack the city. After all, they have such a deadly weapon as a giant trebuchet. Who doesn't want to make a quick contribution?

But the coach was lying in the tent and no one was there. He only had time to drink in the evening and listened to Guo Hao slowly talk about what happened that day.

On April 17th, Fugu, Zhejia.

"The Song army was stationed outside Baode City and there was no movement?"

"There's no movement."

"Not attacking the city?"

The scout said: "There is no siege."

"Have you sent anyone to the surrounding villages?"

"That's true. I went to the village to buy food, and I heard that all the supplies from all the merchants on the road were requisitioned."

"Buying food?" Zhe Keqiu said with a mocking smile, "Master Wang is really a benevolent and righteous man!"

Song Jun's move was obviously to make a fuss from the political level and win the hearts and minds of the people.

Zhe Keqiu asked again: "How about the Yellow River?"

"The Song Army has been detected."

"As expected, you want to stop my army from going south." Zhe Keqiu said.

"Commander Zhe has a brilliant plan. The Song army has exhausted its troops on an expedition and dares to go wild in Fugu. It is asking for death!" Wang Zheng, an aide, said, "Why doesn't Commander Zhe immediately cross the Yellow River according to the previously planned route and join forces with Baode City to attack the Song army?"

"No rush!" Zhe Keqiu said, "I have already issued a military order to Linzhou, ordering Linzhou to dispatch 10,000 troops and three armies to surround the Song army!"

"Zheshuai Yingming!"

Zhe Keqiu said: "I just don't know if the Song army has a large number of hidden cavalry."

"If Wu Jie had cavalry in his hands, he should have used them in the battle of Taiyuan City before, but it is said that Wu Jie did not dispatch cavalry."

Zhe Keqiu said: "Maybe it will increase a bit in the past two years."

"First, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, and secondly, if Wu Jie had cavalry, would General Zhewu have a chance to come back?"

Zhe Keqiu thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense."

On the evening of April 20th, Guo Hao walked quickly outside Wu Jie's camp.

"Little lady, your grape is so delicious, tender, juicy and delicious."

"Wu Shuai is really annoying. Wu Shuai wants to eat grapes, but they still have them here."

"Ahem..." Guo Hao's coughing sound came from outside.

Wu Jie sat up and said: "The two young ladies will go out first. I will go find you two later."

Guo Hao watched the two beautiful little girls come out, and then walked in quickly.

"Wu Shuai, the scouts sent to Linzhou have returned the news. Linzhou soldiers and horses have been dispatched today!"

"How are you guys taking your rest these days?"

"Everyone has rested and is full of energy!"

"Have any enemy troops been detected by the Yellow River?"

"I heard from villagers that some places have been blocked in the past two days and no one can get close to them."

"It seems that the main force of Zhekeqiu is coming."

"Zhe Keqiu is an extraordinary general." Guo Hao said, "How does Wu Shuai plan to deal with him?"

"Zhe Keqiu, of course, leaves me to deal with him personally. I want to capture him alive and deliver him to the capital and hand him over to His Majesty the Emperor." Wu Jie started to get dressed.

Obviously, now is not the time to have sex with women, business is more important.

"Immediately mobilize three thousand cavalry to lie in ambush and wait for the Zhejia army from Linzhou to arrive!"

Wu Jie's tone also became serious, and he was completely different from when he was flirting with the young lady before.

Guo Hao said: "There are only 5,000 cavalry in total. Could Commander Wu keep a few more to deal with them?"

"We don't need so many cavalry to deal with Zhe Keqiu, two thousand is enough." Wu Jie looked at Guo Hao with bright eyes, "Zhe Keqiu has too much burden on him, he looks down on us, and this is his territory, he doesn't want to

He will escape easily."

If Zhe Keqiu knew that this junior was already discussing his escape, I wonder if he would be furious.

"The last general takes command!"

After Guo Hao left Wu Jie's camp, he immediately quietly ran to the cavalry camp to mobilize troops.

Guo Hao led three thousand cavalry all the way to the west overnight.

On April 22, a large number of Zhejia troops appeared on the edge of the Yellow River. They were distributed on a long front and then assembled at designated places.

Some logistics officers led people to nearby villages and began to forcibly requisition materials from the people.

Each family only keeps enough to eat in the next month.

This obviously did not intend to leave rations for the Song army.

On April 23, the Song army's scouts became more frequent.

Baode City also received news that the Fuzhou army was moving south.

The dark Zhejia army appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River and prepared their troops vigorously.

At this time, the group of people starting from Linzhou had also quickly advanced towards Baode City.

In Zhe Keqiu's eyes, a person like Wu Jie who came from a humble background was not even considered his descendant.

In his own words: The Zhe family has been fighting in the northwest and Xixia for a hundred years, and famous generals have emerged in large numbers! Wu Jie? Who is Wu Jie? The Jin army gathered in Daizhou, and it is obviously too naive for Wu Jie to dare to send troops at this time!

Another general of the Song Dynasty, the Yang family of Linzhou, when the Jin army went south, Yang Zongmin defended the honor of his family with his life.

Even if the cheater Yao Gu died in the battle in Hedong, the loyalty of the Yao family can be regarded as preserved.

As for the Zhong family, the Zhongshi King Daoqin died of illness in Tokyo in the first year of Jingkang, and Zhongshi rushed to the aid of Taiyuan and died in the battle.

The only option is to surrender.

On the afternoon of April 23rd, the early summer sunshine shone brightly on the whole world. The trees in the mountains made a rustling sound, and occasionally the chirping of cicadas could be heard.

The terrain of Shanshenling is not steep.

Guo Hao and his men were lurking behind the hillside. They had been eating and drinking here in the past few days.

"Report! Guo Tongzhi, the enemy... the enemy is coming!" The scout was sweating profusely and was out of breath when he spoke.

Guo Hao was eating a steamed bun. After hearing this, he stuffed the steamed bun into his clothes and got up from the ground.

"How many people came?"

"At least more than ten thousand people!"

"Prepare the crossbow archers first!" Guo Hao quickly started to put on his clothes and said, "Quick! Arrange 800 people to ambush in the mountains ahead!"

"yes!"

"The rest of you, hurry up and get ready!"

"yes!"

Not long after, a large group of people appeared in sight.

It was the Zhejia army dispatched from Linzhou. It was mighty and quite spectacular.
