Chapter 1066 Borrowing a knife to kill (seeking a monthly ticket)
A great victory gave Kaifeng soldiers and civilians confidence. Rich businessmen such as Fan Shaobai, He Jiu, Zhou Qing, and Hong Bajin spontaneously took out some food to reward the soldiers. Even the scholars began to participate voluntarily.
When it came to the project of defending Kaifeng Prefecture, moving and lifting was no longer a problem.
This is actually a normal phenomenon. If you keep losing battles and don't even have the ability to defend us, why should I reward you? If you can win, then of course I have to thank you. Even if I spend all my wealth, that's it.
No matter what!
Of course, the happiest person among them is the idiot Gao Yanei. At least 30% of the credit for this victory must belong to Qingtian Village, and this Qingtian Village was built by this idiot, so he shamelessly gave away half of it
The credit goes to himself, and he hyped up his name as Gao Qingtian. I have to say that this guy really fooled some people.
The people can be happy and celebrate, but the soldiers have not yet celebrated. This victory has not completely defeated the Jin army, let alone fatal. Therefore, Li Qi immediately summoned the soldiers and quickly rearranged the defense.
Prevent the Jin army from counterattacking.
......．
Inside the Jin Army’s base camp.
Although two of the three armies sent by Wanyan Zongwang were victorious, the most important one suffered a disastrous defeat, which plunged the whole Jin camp into an atmosphere of silence. In fact, this was all thanks to Wanyan Zongwang's foresight and sent out
Two lines of reinforcements, otherwise, of the three lines of vanguard troops, it is very likely that Wanyan Zongbi's group would be victorious.
This phenomenon can be said to be unbelievable in the eyes of the Jin soldiers. When did the Song army become so fierce? When they first conquered Liao, the most elite Western army was nothing more than this. This second- and third-line army could actually survive
Winning a great victory at the hands of Wanyan Zongwang, is this a fairy tale? Since they sent troops to the Song Dynasty, this was definitely the worst defeat.
Wanyan Zongwang's undefeated true body was also declared shattered.
This is something the Jin people will never allow.
The extremely embarrassed Guo Yaoshi returned to the military camp. He immediately fell to the ground and apologized, tears streaming down his face. Although he was lucky to save his life, his troops were exhausted in this battle, and now he can
He is considered a mere commander. He simply cannot accept this fact.
Wanyan Zongwang stepped forward to help him up regardless of his previous suspicions, and even comforted him without any intention of blaming him. This moved Pharmacist Guo beyond measure.
However, this does not change his status in the Jin Army. It has been greatly reduced. You are using the banner of our Jin Army, but you are completely annihilated by these ladies from the Song Army. It is simply an embarrassment to us Jin people.
.
Wanyan Zongwang's generals asked for orders one after another, determined to move back to this place.
However, Wanyan Zongwang did not respond directly, but they were prepared and ready to attack at any time. He knew very well that the enemy's morale was now high, and the people on his side had lost their cool. If he sent troops rashly, he might repeat the tragic defeat of Qingtian Village, so
, he chose to seek stability and sent eight thousand at a time. Song Jun could afford it, but he couldn't afford it.
After some of the soldiers retreated, apart from Wanyan Zongwang himself, the only two commanders left in the tent were Yan Mu, Liu Yanzong, and Prince Wanyan Zongbi.
Yan Mu frowned and said, "Zong Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of being beaten by the Song Army?"
Now that everyone here is his own, he doesn't have to worry about what he says.
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said, "Uncle, why do you say that?"
Yan's mother said: "It is impossible for Zong Han to come here now. We need to fight quickly now. How can you delay it again and again? I should attack quickly and severely damage the enemy to boost morale."
Wanyan Zongwang looked at Liu Yanzong and said, "What do you think?"
Liu Yanzong naturally did not dare to speak to Wanyan Zongwang in the same tone as his mother, and only said: "I also agree with Dutong's strategy. Now the Song Army's defense line is focused on the front and the rear. As long as we can break through the first line of defense quickly enough, they will
If we can't pick up the troops at all, we can still ambush them halfway and defeat their reinforcements in one fell swoop. It would be best if we can eliminate the enemy's main force outside the city. In this case, we can attack the city with twice the result with half the effort."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded, looked at Wanyan Zongbi again, opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak, because he knew his fourth brother so well that he knew what Wanyan Zongbi would say without asking. He suddenly smiled and said: "Do you all think
Did we suffer a disastrous defeat in this attack?"
Mu Mu snorted and said: "Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, eight thousand people were surrounded and annihilated by the Song army. This is nothing but a disastrous defeat. You shouldn't have let those people go in the first place."
Wanyan Zongwang chuckled and said: "Actually, Yaoshi Guo's defeat was within my expectation. It would be better if he could win. However, I did not expect that they would be defeated so completely."
Liu Yanzong frowned and said, "What does the second prince mean?"
Wanyan Zongwang sneered and asked without answering, "What do you think of Medicine Master Guo?"
Liu Yanzong was stunned and said: "This person has some talents, but he is too ---."
At this point, he hesitated to speak. He was also a surrendered general, so he had no nerve to comment on Pharmacist Guo.
Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said: "You don't need to compare him with you, he is not even half as good as you. I won't say more about the great contributions you have made for me, Dajin. My father has never been wrong.
Man, this is why I regard the cook as my main opponent. I have a lot of money for people like Guo Yaoshi, but this person is too fickle. At the beginning, the Liao Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty treated him well, but he
But he betrayed these two countries one after another. I asked myself if I couldn't give him so much, then would he still be loyal to me? Maybe one day, he would stab me in the back. If I didn't need him urgently now, I wouldn't be able to do it at all.
There is no room for him, and he has tens of thousands of troops anyway, which makes me a little afraid, so I first asked Dong Cai to stay in Yanshan Mansion, share part of his troops, and let him go south with me with only 8,000 troops."
Yan Mu raised her eyebrows and said: "So, you knew it was a trap and deliberately let Yaoshi Guo get in. No, if that's the case, why did you send someone to rescue it?"
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "I didn't expect this, but I thought to myself that if Medicine Master Guo could capture Moutuogang, it would be great, but even if he failed, it would weaken the strength of his men.
, this is also very beneficial to us, but I didn't expect that he would fall into the cook's trap. He almost died. Fortunately, General Liu's attack on Xishui Bridge was blocked and he gave me a wake-up call, so I sent Hulu to support him.
, because Pharmacist Guo cannot die yet, he still has some effects."
Wanyan Zongbi said: "Actually, I look down on this kind of person. Moreover, he also knows how to fight. If we are not careful, we may suffer big losses."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled happily and said: "Fourth brother is right. The Southern Dynasty did not learn from the lessons of the Liao Kingdom. They trusted Pharmacist Guo so much that we were able to come here smoothly. Among them, Pharmacist Guo was definitely the leader.
Gong. It's fine now. His troops have been exhausted and he can only rely on me. I don't have any worries. Moreover, from this battle, we also understand the strength of the Song Army. Alas, this battle is not ours.
It’s as easy to fight as we imagined, so we must be fully prepared.”
Yan Mu said: "But if we delay it any longer, it will be extremely detrimental to us. Although the Song army won by luck, they are by no means our opponents."
Wanyan Zongwang said seriously: "I know this, but I have to worry a little bit."
Liu Yanzong suddenly said: "What the supervisor is worried about is not the reinforcements coming from the south."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Yes, we have almost figured out the strength of the Song Army in Kaifeng now. If we start to attack, if reinforcements from the other side suddenly arrive at the most critical moment, it may put us in catastrophe.
Therefore, before launching the general offensive, I must know the movements of those Song reinforcements. The results should be available in the next two days."
Liu Yanzong nodded and said: "That's fine. Now the whole army is very angry and eager to get back their face. If we let them hold it back for two more days, they will definitely be like tigers coming out of the gate when they attack."
."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and nodded.
...
Another day passed, and everything was calm on both sides.
Li Qi, Yue Fei and others originally thought that Wanyan Zongwang would counterattack immediately, but there was no movement from the other side, which made them confused. However, with their current strength, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attack and use all their troops.
Deployed outside the city, they are already very proactive. At present, they can only rely on the Jin Army to attack first, and then launch a defensive counterattack.
However, what they were waiting for was not the news of the Jin army's attack, but bad news one after another.
The reinforcements coming from Xiangzhou, Hefei, and Jiangning Prefecture were all blocked by the Jin army on the road. There were tens of thousands of troops in total, but they were almost completely annihilated by the Jin army of about 10,000.
Not only that, the dignified Yingtian Mansion was almost defeated by three thousand Jin troops, but the outer circle was wiped out by the Jin army.
After Li Qi heard this, he was very angry. What are these beatings? I have finally boosted my morale here. You are so cool. You poured a bucket of cold water directly on me from head to foot. It was clean and neat, and there was no smoke.
.
What's even more terrible is that Song Huizong, who was in Hangzhou, thought that the Jin army had reached the Yangtze River. He issued several imperial edicts and quickly organized Jiangnan troops to defend Hangzhou. After all, he was still the emperor and had the imperial edicts at his disposal. Of course, ordinary people would listen to him.
However, they would not listen to Li Qi. As a result, other reinforcements from Jiangnan turned back.
After hearing all this, Li Qi almost fainted. Fortunately, Song Huizong did not do too much and did not issue an edict to go to the northwest. Moreover, Han Shizhong had already dispatched all the naval forces in Fujian. If this was the case,
Two lines of reinforcements have also arrived in Jiangnan District, which will really make Li Qi angry to death.
The foolish king always makes the most wrong choices at the most critical moment.
Song Huizong has obviously done everything he can. MD! How can 10,000 cavalry cross the Yangtze River? Flying! It’s so ridiculous!
At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also learned the news and was overjoyed. The morale of the Jin army instantly returned to a state of full energy, and he immediately issued an order to launch a general attack on the Song army, with the target directed at Moutuogang.
