Chapter 707 Battle of the Chinese Army!
"Important military report from Hejian Mansion?" Wanyan Yinshu was stunned for a moment.
Then, he said to Liu Yun: "You go out first."
"I am resigning."
Wanyan Yinshu called the scouts in. He took the letter and said with a smile: "Wanyan Po Lu Huo, what urgent military report can I have? Is it possible that the Song army also attacked Hejian Mansion?"
Wanyan Xigunai also laughed and said: "You should teach that guy a lesson! But then again, with the strength of the Song Army, it is impossible to defeat him in such a short period of time!"
Both men were joking.
But when Wanyan Yinshuke opened the letter and read it, the smile on his face immediately solidified!
Damn it!
When Wanyan Xigu Nai saw this, he was stunned for a moment and asked: "Du Tong, what's wrong?"
"The Song army really attacked Hejian Mansion!"
Wanyan Xigu Nai was even more puzzled: "So what if we attack?"
"Wanyan Po Lu Huo was defeated."
"Huh?" Wanyan Xigunai didn't respond.
"Almost all three thousand cavalry were eaten by the Song army!" Wanyan Yinshuke's face darkened.
Three thousand cavalry!
And they are elite!
What is the concept of three thousand cavalry?
When Li Jing secured Xiangcheng and then raided Jieli Khan, he used three thousand cavalry.
The Jurchens' army is also equipped with infantry and cavalry, and three thousand cavalry is definitely the configuration of a large army.
You know, when leading troops to fight, if the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is a big threshold, and many people are blocked outside this threshold.
The methods of leading a large army are different from those of leading a small army.
Wanyan Xigunai took a breath of cold air: "Why didn't Wanyan Po Lu Huo write a letter earlier?"
"Write a letter earlier?" Yin Shuke's face turned a little blue, "Like us, he didn't expect that he would be defeated at the beginning!"
"When did the Song Army attack Hejian?" Wanyan Xigunai continued to ask, "We learned that the Song Army went north in early June. It is only mid-June now. If the Song Army divided its forces to attack Zhongshan Mansion and Hejian,
In Jianfu, the interval between the two armies’ dispatches must not be too long!”
"You mean, the Song Army also attacked Hejian in early June?"
"should be!"
"So, Wanyan Po Lu Huo was defeated in less than half a month?"
Wanyan Xigu stopped talking, this is obvious!
After thinking for a moment, Wanyan Xigu Na then said: "What was lost was the elite cavalry. This is very abnormal. The Song people are short of cavalry!"
"Don't forget how Yue Fei used cavalry to defeat Liu Yu in a short time!"
Wanyan Xigunai suddenly understood: "Could it be that Yue Fei has detained all his elite troops in Hejian, and the attack on Zhongshan is just a pretense?"
Yin Shuke looked at Wanyan Xigunai and asked: "Several letters of war have been sent, but the Song army has avoided fighting. Now such military reports are coming from Hejian Prefecture. It seems that Yue Fei is not interested in Zhongshan.
But in Hejian, attacking Zhongshan is indeed a pretense!"
Wanyan Xigunai immediately said: "In this case, we must quickly mobilize our troops to directly support Hejian!"
"What if we leave and the Song army takes the opportunity to attack Dingzhou?" Yin Shuke asked.
"Du Tong, if the Song army could defeat Wanyan Polu Huo in a short period of time, it must have used a large number of elites. The Song army we are facing now cannot be an elite, it is just a deception!"
"In this case, why don't we quickly defeat the Song army and then march eastward?" Yin Shuke said.
Wanyan Xigu Nai was unable to refute for a moment.
"The Song army is on the bank of Tang River at this time?" Yin Shuke asked again.
"Yes, it is only more than twenty miles away from our army!"
"Pass my order to march out the camp early tomorrow morning. I want a quick victory!" Yin Shuke waved his hand, "After defeating the Song army, it won't be too late to support Hejian!"
"yes!"
Early in the morning on June 17, it seemed that God was helping the Song army. There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and there was a heavy rain in an instant.
Wanyan Xigunai said: "Du Tong, it is the rainy season, do you still want to go south?"
"Quick victory!"
In the morning, the Jin army began to dispatch on a large scale.
Naturally, the Wanyan Silver Technique is not something that can be practiced without any thought.
He deployed cavalry in different directions within a radius of more than ten miles, and then advanced towards the Song army with infantry.
Once the Song Army was forced to fight back, his cavalry would attack the Song Army's formation from different directions without blind spots.
There was also a cavalry group that he personally led, and he was known for his bravery and skill in combat.
In the afternoon, a large number of scouts frequently sent urgent military reports to Wang Gui. Each military report showed that the Jin army on the opposite side could not hold back and had begun to mobilize in full force.
Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh: "The Jin army lived up to its reputation for enduring hard work. In such bad weather, the Jin people still dared to send troops. I admire this very much!"
Now that the enemy is coming, there is nothing to retreat from.
"Send my order and prepare the entire army for war!"
"yes!"
Wang Gui's mission is to hold back Wanyan Yinshuke.
Wanyan Yinshu has gathered a large number of elites from the Jin Army, and in terms of personal understanding of war, Wanyan Po Lu Huo is not at the same level as him.
Once Wanyan Yinshuke arrived at Hejian Mansion, Zhang Xian's thousands of cavalry were really no match for him.
Even with Cangzhou's 10,000 infantrymen heading north, they still couldn't be Wanyan Yinshuke's opponent.
In that case, Hejian Mansion will fall again soon.
And once Wanyan Yinshu became effective, he was fully capable of defeating Zhang Xian, then turned around and rushed to Zhending Mansion to fight Niu Gao.
If the battle reaches this point, Yue Fei will be very passive.
In many cases, wars not only involve dealing with enemies on the battlefield, but also involve internal political factions.
Although Zhang Xian and Niu Gao's results will be more obvious in this battle, they directly attack the enemy.
But obviously, the real main battlefield is in Zhongshan Mansion and Wang Gui.
The heavy rain washed through the woods, making a pattering sound.
The water level of the Tang River has also risen.
"Report! Wang Dutong! There are still some people sending us food. What should we do?"
"Let them all go back and tell them that there is going to be a war!" Wang Gui said.
"They said that the food has been delivered. Many families have reduced their clothing and diet to send food to us!"
"Do you know that Commander-in-Chief Yue has strictly prohibited us from taking things belonging to the common people?" Wang Gui's voice turned cold, "Do you want me to move my head?"
"this……"
Wang Gui stopped talking and walked out of the camp. The army was gathering outside.
The front army put on armor, and the heavy rain hit the armor like flying flowers and scattered jade.
Everyone started to line up in silence.
The formation was soon completed. The front army and the left and right wings all had infantry armor and crossbowmen.
Two thousand cavalry were arranged behind the left and right wings, with infantry armor acting as defense to protect the sides of the cavalry.
This is a standard array, used for defensive warfare.
Wang Gui rode a horse and led his bodyguards in front of the army.
The rain fell down his face, and he didn't even frown.
"It is forbidden to fight in heavy rain. I know that your movements become sluggish in the rain!" Wang Gui said loudly, "But! The enemy will not discuss with us whether to fight in sunny days or rainy days!"
His voice was very penetrating, maybe he had been with Yue Fei for a long time, and his whole person showed a strong sense of power.
Chapter completed!
