Chapter 1270: Arrive in Shangjing, Wu Lin's doubts
Chapter 1270: Arriving at Shangjing City, Wu Lin’s doubts
"I have a house in the city, you can stay here temporarily!"
Heshi Liezhining said.
Before Shen Tang could answer, Wanyan Yue on the side responded, "Thank you uncle, but I have already prepared the house, so I won't bother uncle."
Heshi Liezhining then remembered that Shen Tang was not alone. He thought that Wanyan Hao was fighting here and even stationed troops in Shangjing, and it was natural for Wanyan Yue to have a house.
"It's true that I'm overly worried! Then I'll send you to the city to rest first. I'll go back to the military camp in the next few days to inspect the border defense. When I get back, I'll talk to Shen Tang!"
Everyone entered the city, and as expected, there was a tidy courtyard that was suitable for Shen Tang and his party to live in.
After running all the way, everyone was naturally extremely tired, so after setting up their rooms, they took a rest!
Let’s talk about the northwest of the Song Dynasty, above the Wuzhangyuan! Three days passed in a hurry. During these three days, Wu Lin was preparing for the next war, while sending a large number of detective horses to investigate the situation of the Jin soldiers on the other side.
Although he is also a famous general and has rich experience in fighting throughout his life, he is not arrogant or even negligent at this time.
Not to mention the combat power of the Jin soldiers, this time they took the initiative to attack, and then they had to fight across the river, which was very difficult. If they were not fully prepared, they might follow in the footsteps of Marquis Wu.
However, when he got the results of the past few days of investigation, he was full of doubts! He had been fighting for a lifetime, but he really couldn't understand the actions of the golden general on the opposite side.
"Are you saying that the Jin soldiers not only stopped building fortifications, but even took the initiative to move the camp back thirty miles?"
Wu Lin frowned, looking at the battle report in his hand and the anxious general in front of him.
"Commander, the brothers under the general's command have sneaked across the river to investigate for themselves. The news cannot be false! Now, all the soldiers and horses of the Jin people on the other side have retreated thirty miles away from the other side of the river."
"What about the surrounding area?
Has the situation been investigated?"
"According to the commander's order, we explored the surrounding area for fifty miles, but no soldiers and horses of the Jin were found."
This person will definitely answer in the affirmative.
Wu Lin frowned. He had already made up his mind to forcefully cross the river and start a battle. He was even prepared to lose some soldiers and horses. After all, the soldiers and horses under his command were not good at water warfare, and the Jin people blocked the attack along the river. , which is indeed detrimental to oneself.
However, who would have thought that the golden man would just get out of the way?
Not only did he get out of the way, but he even retreated thirty miles directly. This meant that after crossing the river, he had enough position to set up a battle position?
When did the Jin people follow such rules?
Or is there some conspiracy?
However, now the Jin people have no ambush and no reinforcements. What kind of conspiracy could it be?
Wu Lin would never have thought that the newcomer on the battlefield opposite him had no ambush or conspiracy at all, and his purpose was just to have an honest and fair fight with him!
Under such circumstances, even if Wu Lin was familiar with the battlefield, how could he possibly know that the opposite side was a club, or even that there were "ones of his own" in the opposite camp?
The strange movements of the Jin people made Wu Lin hesitate for a whole day. It was already time to advance the army, but out of caution, Wu Lin once again asked Tan Ma to continue the investigation.
One day later, Tan Ma continued to report, and the news he received was exactly the same as before, with no difference at all.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, facing the camp full of generals, Wu Lin rubbed the hilt of the long sword in his waist for a long time, and then suddenly gave the order, "Follow the previous plan, cross the river!"
"Yao Zhong, you personally lead two thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard! All the fast boats in the camp are under your command! If there are Jin soldiers and horses coming during the half-crossing, you must open them to the army behind.
The gap and the landing place! As long as the army can successfully reach the other side and stabilize its position, I, commander, will count you as the first contributor in this battle!"
"The last general takes command!"
General Yao Zhong shouted sharply, "Commander and brothers, don't worry, even if I, Yao, die in battle, it will definitely create an opportunity for the army to step ashore on Yao's body, and it will definitely not delay the army's crossing of the river!"
"The rest of the generals will command their troops and horses and arrive at the other side as quickly as possible! It is now three o'clock in the morning and before noon, the army must reach the other side. Whoever falls behind will be punished by military law!"
"If they can successfully reach the other side, Yao Zhong's vanguard army will set up camp ten miles ahead. Jiang Chen will lead two thousand troops ten miles west to block the main road in the direction of Wucheng Town. Niu Qisheng will lead two thousand troops ten miles east to blockade Yidian Town.
Important road! The rest of the troops are camped against the water, ready to fight with the Jin soldiers and horses at any time!"
"The last general takes command!"
All the generals responded in unison, and then, all the generals led out of the central military tent and returned to their headquarters. The entire camp was in action. The boats and rafts that had been prepared long ago were docked on the waterfront.
superior.
Although Wu Lin did not have a dedicated naval force under his command, the Song Dynasty was located in the south of the Yangtze River, so there were naturally a few people in the army who knew how to use water.
Fixing some rafts and boats is a piece of cake.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Woo, woo, woo..."
Suddenly, loud trumpets and war drums sounded, and soldiers and horses lined up neatly on the river bank. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they quickly stepped onto rafts or boats, and then, like sharp arrows, headed towards the other side.
The clippers under Yao Zhong formed a huge arrow, and he was standing on the deck of the fastest ship, with bright armor on his body and a long-handled sword in his hand! In his eyes
, filled with infinite murderous intent. As the number one general under Wu Lin, his bravery goes without saying. Moreover, as he said, as a vanguard, he builds mountains when encountering mountains and builds bridges when meeting water, no matter what comes in front of him.
He is willing to fight to the death against such an enemy!
If the enemy is not killed, it is to be burned together! As a vanguard, this is his greatest realization! Therefore, being a vanguard is military exploits and glory, but it is also the road to death!
"Brothers, prepare to land!"
The river bed where they crossed was about two hundred feet long, so the speed of the speedboat would naturally not take much time!
As the distance approaches, on the vanguard's clipper, there are large shields erected in front, and archers in the rear are ready to attack. If the Jin people come to kill them halfway at this time, they will rush forward without fear of death.
Fight with the golden man to buy time for the brothers behind.
Everyone's eyes were focused and their bodies were tense. It was like this on the battlefield. There was always only a thin line between life and death.
However, until their clipper arrived at the shore, and even Yao Zhong had jumped off the boat first and reached the shore, it was still quiet, and no Jin soldiers and horses were found at all...
