Zhuxian Town is located in the south of Kaifeng City. The distance between the two places is about 45 miles.
In fact, under normal circumstances, if the Jin army came all the way from Luoyang, Hu Biao and others would fight without defending the city; their decisive battle location this time should be somewhere west of Kaifeng City.
.
Rather than Zhuxian Town to the south, such a strange direction.
By the way! The reason why Hu Biao and others placed the battlefield in Zhuxian Town was a choice made out of very last resort.
Otherwise, we have a mighty city like Kaifeng City in our hands.
In addition, the city's food, supplies, and manpower are quite sufficient; relying on the advantages of city defense, it first consumes a large amount of opponents.
After the Jin soldiers have been attacking continuously for many days, and their morale has been exhausted again and again, wouldn't it be a pleasure to go out of the city and defeat them in one go?
Unfortunately, I don't know what happened.
Wanyan Zongwang and Zong Han, the two old rivals of Hu Biao and others, displayed very strange operations.
After they captured Luoyang, they did not go straight to Kaifeng City. Instead, they took some strong people as coolies and made a big detour to the south before killing them.
Along the way, we passed through many cities including Yong'an, Dengfeng, Xinzheng and so on along the North Beijing Road.
What's more critical is that a large number of equipment is definitely indispensable for siege, especially for Kaifeng City, which has a wall height of over 12 meters.
But among the Jin people's army, there are some of these instruments.
But the quantity is not large, and it will definitely not be enough to attack and open the closed city.
In response to these situations, although Hu Biao and the others did not know what went wrong and what concerns the Jin people had, they were basically certain of one thing: the worst situation they least wanted to see had probably occurred.
It was because the Jin people's first target in the early stage of their Northern Expedition was not old acquaintances like them.
Isn't it a good thing that he is not the first target of attack?
Damn it! It really isn’t.
It's not that Hu Biao and others are bragging. Currently, in the huge Song Dynasty, except for the new army led by them, no one from other places is a match for the Jin army.
Once the Jin people left a cavalry force outside Kaifeng City, they didn't need much in terms of numbers. They only needed 30,000 to 50,000 people to hold back their new infantry army.
Then, the remaining Jin soldiers can attack cities and territories in other Song lands along the way.
Even the worst outcome can be defeated by Jiangnan.
It has really come to that point, regardless of the system task requirements; they can't outlast their opponents with such a small floor in Kaifeng.
So Hu Biao and the others, after calculating the Jin man's weird route of advance, planned a decisive battle in a place like Zhuxian Town.
What did you say? It attracted the golden people to take the initiative to fight.
The bet is that the Jin people are arrogant and arrogant, believing that as long as they leave the city, they can easily defeat these henchmen.
Then he changed his plan and the whole army came to kill...
The New Army's strong marching ability has been cultivated by doing at least 5 kilometers of cross-country with heavy loads every day.
But at one o'clock in the afternoon, the entire First Division of the New Army, with Lao Hei as the division commander and Fengche as the deputy division commander, arrived here.
At such a time, in an ancient town that was once home to thousands of people, now there is no living figure in the town.
The reason is simple, as early as a week ago.
Because of the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the field, all the people in the town were forcibly moved to Kaifeng City.
After the First Division of the New Army arrived, they rested for half an hour and had a lunch of steamed buns and boiled water, which was the standard for three people to eat a can of braised chicken.
Then at the first opportunity, naturally they started digging trenches and building some camps outside the town.
It should be noted that Zhuxian Town is located on the Huanghuai Plain. At first glance, it is a flat terrain without even a slightly larger hill. There is no danger to defend.
However, when the camp was being built, it was not carried out to a high standard.
It’s not that they can’t fix it or they don’t know how to fix it.
You're kidding! Despite the greasy look on the warehouse manager's face, he graduated from the civil engineering major of Harbin Institute of Technology. With the cement plant under the Department of Commerce now in operation for three months, no steel defense line can be built.
The key point is, isn't this because they are worried that Jin Bing will not fight with them because they see it is difficult to fight?
Therefore, this battle is destined to be a wild battle without any fancy.
By then, as long as a big battle breaks out between the two sides, the Jin people will want to run away and attack other places, and they will not be able to do it at that time.
Just like that, it started from the afternoon of that day.
Other New Army troops arrived at Zhuxian Town one by one. The two independent artillery brigades, which were the slowest and the latest to set out, also arrived at around 4 p.m.
Counting the stretcher team and the civilian workers in the logistics, there were a total of more than 80,000 people, the strongest army in the Song Dynasty, and they took up residence in Zhuxian Town.
The only doubt that exists now is, will those golden people come?
In response to this, a meeting was being held at that time, and netizens who were quite anxious were walking around the town and looking at the stretching camps and lights outside the town.
Hu Biao said with certainty: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as there is a little hope, people like Wanyan Zongwang and Zong Han will kill us as soon as possible, so they will definitely come."
There is a saying about death on the street, although it has some truth.
But it sounds so strange...
****
It's a coincidence that just after Hu Biao said, "The golden man will definitely come."
Suddenly, I heard a loud sound of horse hooves coming from behind me, and everyone looked confused.
Mainly based on the experience of Hu Biao and others in many years of fighting.
Naturally, one can hear such a movement. At least three hundred cavalrymen were running towards them at the same time.
And the sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind, and there was no warning sound. It was probably not the Jin people's detouring horse exploration troops.
It's just that their only 500 New Army cavalry have already dispersed around to inquire about the situation of the Jin soldiers. Where did Kaifeng City get such a cavalry?
Fortunately, soon, such a doubt was answered.
I saw a Song army dressed up and riding well, galloping all the way to the front of the town. Seeing the presence of such a group of court officials, they immediately grabbed their horses.
The leader is a handsome general who is 23 or 24 years old and has a white face and no beard.
After turning over and dismounting, he came to the front of everyone with a burst of armor plates. While kneeling on one knee, he opened his mouth and said:
"The last general, Yang Zaixing, has met with the secret envoy Hu and all the ministers.
My Yue Xianggong thought that in this battle, the Yue family's army only needed to occupy the city and defend it, and no cavalry was needed, so he asked me to bring a group of 300 brothers who had backed the Wei army to come to Privy Hu's envoy
Please listen to it."
"Okay, okay, okay, Pengju is really thoughtful~"
After hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao immediately became overjoyed.
Regarding the existence of a Beiwei army that was completely different from the one in history in the current mission world that had completely changed, Hu Biao knew what was going on.
When Yue Fei fought his way out of the Taihang Mountains and came to Kaifeng Mansion to support him, didn't he encounter a thousand-man troop of Jin soldiers and cavalry on the way?
After a lot of entanglement, they finally destroyed that cavalry group and captured more than 400 fine war horses.
Later, based on these war horses, Grandpa Yue selected some northern men with excellent equestrian skills and outstanding combat skills to form such a Weiwei army.
Although compared to its original size in history, this Beiwei army is much smaller.
However, for Hu Biao, who currently lacks mobile troops, this elite cavalry unit can still play a great role.
Not to mention, the general leading their army was a legendary fierce man like Yang Zaixing.
Immediately, Hu Biao comforted Yang Zaixing and asked people to lead him down to arrange the camp.
But soon, some unexpected problems came.
Before Hu Biao could think about how to use such an elite cavalry in the future, AT and the imperial concubine raised their hands and shouted almost at the same time:
"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, will you bring them under my command?"
"Why? Because of your shamelessness, give me a reasonable reason." Hu Biao immediately asked.
"I'm kidding, this is the legendary Yang Zaixing! I didn't expect that he is not only a fierce warrior with eight-pack abs, but also such a handsome young brother.
After the war, can't he and I have a sweet love relationship?"
This is the reason for the noble concubine. At least at this moment, the girl's eyes are shining, it seems to be true; in fact, who knows.
The problem is, as soon as he heard such a reason, Hu Biao got a headache.
What's the fuss? There's a war going on now.
Later, AT also gave his own reasons: "Lao Hu, my first idol is Zhao Yun, and my second idol is this little brother Yang. I have long hoped to fight side by side with them."
In comparison, the reasons given by white-collar workers are undoubtedly much more reliable.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Hu Biao pointed at the AT and said: "Okay! It's up to you..."
