Chapter 1080 Breaking the game (seeking a monthly ticket)
Hezhongfu.
At this time, 80,000 Fengxiang troops led by Zhong Shidao and his younger brother Zhong Shizhong were stationed here to rescue Kaifeng. In front was Xijing Henan Prefecture, and beyond that was Kaifeng Prefecture.
Among Zhongshi Dao and Zhongshi, there was also a Qianxi Army general sitting in the big tent.
After arriving at Hezhong Mansion, Zhong Shizhong finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If the Jin Army's Western Route Army sent troops to blockade Tongguan, how could we get here."
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "You are right. I have been worried about this all the time. The Jin army was not only brave and good at fighting, but they also advanced too fast. Fortunately, their two armies did not coordinate well, which led to the East
The army on the road is alone and goes deep into the city. As long as he cannot capture Kaifeng City, the further he delays, the more disadvantageous it will be to them."
A general said: "General, although the Jin Army on the West Route has been unable to attack Taiyuan for a long time, Taiyuan is also in danger. If Taiyuan is lost, the West Route Army will definitely go south. Should we save Taiyuan first?"
"Absolutely not."
Master Zhongdao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "If Taiyuan is lost, we can take it back, but if Kaifeng is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhong Shizhong nodded and said: "Brother is right, and as long as we can defeat the Jin army on the east route, the army on the west route will be a lonely army and will retreat. Besides, there are Zhejia troops guarding Taiyuan, and they can hold on for half a day."
Month, it shouldn’t be a problem, the most important thing now is that we don’t know how the battle in Kaifeng is going?”
"Report---!"
A sentinel suddenly rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "To the two generals, Kaifeng Mansion will be victorious."
"really?"
Zhong Shidao and a group of other people all stood up.
The sentinel nodded and said: "I just received the news that Kaifeng Mansion, under the leadership of Kaifeng Magistrate, did not defend the city wall, but the army was stationed outside the city. A decisive battle with the enemy. In the previous few confrontations, both sides suffered damage, but
Just two days ago, our army defeated Wanyan Zongwang's main force outside Kaifeng City, and now Wanyan Zongwang has led his army to retreat to Mengyang."
"Okay! Haha!"
Master Zhongdao stroked his long beard, raised his head and laughed.
After hearing this, all the soldiers were dumbfounded.
They were the famous Zhong family army of the Song Dynasty, but they thought they were no match for the Jin people. They never thought that Li Qi would lead the imperial army in the capital and defeat Wanyan Zongwang's main army without relying on the city walls.
All of this makes people feel incredible.
Zhong Shizhong shook his head and said in disbelief: "I really didn't expect that this economic envoy could have such means. I thought I had won if I could hold on. I never thought that he would dare to station the main force outside the city and defeat Jin.
Army.This---."
The more he continued, the more he felt that the news was too weird, and said, "Have you found out?"
The sentry detective said with great certainty: "Reporting to the second general, I am absolutely honest about my humble position. Our army has indeed severely damaged the Jin army."
Zhong Shidao laughed and said: "Master, you don't know this Kaifeng magistrate very well. He has made so many unbelievable achievements. If this happened to others, it would be inappropriate for you to say so.
It’s not an exaggeration, but it’s not surprising that it happened to him. Don’t forget that he sent someone to send you clairvoyance a few days ago. No ordinary person can imagine that.”
The cultivator thought of the strange clairvoyance. Everything was relieved. He nodded with a smile and said: "Brother, in this case, we should hurry up and strive to reach Kaifeng as soon as possible. We can encircle the Jin army with the Kaifeng prefect. Don't let it go."
They escaped."
Zhong Shidao smiled and nodded and said: "That's right. Give me the order and immediately break camp and march at full speed."
The great victory in Kaifeng Mansion undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Zhong family army. The 80,000-strong army broke out of camp overnight and marched towards Kaifeng Mansion at full speed.
...
Around Mengyang, the Jin army began to step up the construction of defensive measures to prevent the Song army from attacking.
That night in the battle at Kaifeng Mansion, the Jin army suffered heavy losses, with more than 20,000 casualties. Although it was still less than the Song army, you were fighting in the capital, and the Song army could quickly replenish fresh blood. And you? You
There are no more soldiers when they die, and the more we fight, the fewer they become.
Now there are only more than 40,000 troops left, and morale has dropped to freezing point.
If Wanyan Zongwang made the mistake of underestimating the enemy in the first battle at Moutuogang, then in this second battle, he was defeated by time. It was just a little bit close. If he could have surrounded and annihilated Yang Zaixing's convoy half an hour earlier, then even if he had
After that strange army came out, he could also annihilate it calmly. Unfortunately, God is fair. God has given you the best environment to start the war, so it is impossible for him to give you half an hour more.
Wanyan Zongwang felt very regretful. His strategy was about to succeed. Once it worked, hundreds of thousands of Song troops outside the city would become his prey. But unfortunately, it was just one step away, and now he has lost
The best time to attack has been determined. If we rush to attack rashly, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of troops will have to deal with it here.
However, Wanyan Zongwang was unwilling to retreat. He pinned his hopes on the two rivers, Bianhe River and Jinshui River. However, when he sent people to investigate, the huge granite in front of Jinshui Gate was completely cut off.
raised his hopes.
Song Huizong probably never expected that his granite could actually stump tens of thousands of Jin troops.
If we attack the waterway, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get through the door!
At least there was nothing he could do with those big rocks now.
Inside the big tent.
There was no trace of the high spirits on the faces of the Jin Army officers and soldiers. They were all downcast, and their fighting spirit was declining sharply.
Liu Yanzong no longer cared about morale, and said: "Second Prince, our current military strength is simply not enough to capture Kaifeng Mansion. If we delay any longer, it will only become more disadvantageous for us. I think it is time to retreat.
"
Seeing that capturing Kaifeng Mansion was already a dream, Wanyan Zongwang felt that it was time to retreat. Although the main goal was not achieved, his gains were not small. After all, he captured most of the area north of the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty.
What he has to do now is to consolidate this area and plan for the future. He sighed heavily and said: "You are right, if we continue to fight, it will be useless. If Zong Han was here, how could I fall into this situation.
"
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan are the two most powerful camps in the Jin Kingdom. They are dissatisfied with each other.
Wanyan Zonghan's failure to arrive as promised also made Wanyan Zongwang's generals deeply dissatisfied.
But just when Wanyan Zongwang was about to retreat, bad news suddenly came. News came from the west that the Western Army who came to rescue had arrived at Hezhong Prefecture and announced that it had an army of 100,000.
After Wanyan Zongwang heard this, he slammed the table and said, "This is unreasonable. I had already asked Zong Han to send troops to Tongguan to blockade the Western Army. How could the Western Army appear here?"
The sentinel said: "Report to the supervisory army. General Wanyan has not sent troops to Tongguan, and is still in Taiyuan."
It turns out that Wanyan Zonghan did not accept Wanyan Zongwang's suggestion, and was still fighting wits and courage with the Zhejia army in Taiyuan, and the fight was hard to explain.
Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that he overturned the table.
Liu Yanzong hurriedly said: "Second Prince, now that the matter has come to this, we should not stay for a long time. We should withdraw our troops as soon as possible."
Wanyan Zongwang snorted: "Do you still think that the cook is an idiot? How could they let us cross the river calmly? If we retreat rashly, it will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."
Mu said: "But if we don't retreat, we will just wait to be surrounded by the enemy."
Wanyan Zongwang snorted angrily again and said: "Back then, I was able to kill tens of thousands of Liao troops with a thousand soldiers and horses, but now I still have tens of thousands of troops in hand. How can I be afraid of his mere 80,000 Western troops?
If Yan Zonghan refuses to fight with me, then I will go find him to fight with me."
Liu Yanzong was horrified and said: "What does the second prince mean?"
Wanyan Zongwang sneered and said: "Be proactive, lead the army to attack Hezhong Mansion immediately, and defeat the reinforcements first. In this way, we will not be trapped in a situation where we are attacked from two sides, and we can retreat to the northwest."
This move is really daring! But Wanyan Zongwang really has the confidence to fight this encounter. Although there is a huge difference in the strength of the troops, he may not necessarily lose. This is definitely not Wanyan Zongwang’s angry words, because
, if these 80,000 Western troops are allowed to join the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, then he will be waiting to be made a dumpling.
Therefore, we must repel all the way. Kaifeng Mansion has no hope of attacking, so we have no choice but to engage in an encounter with the Western Army.
Wanyan Zongbi and other generals asked for orders one after another, willing to be the vanguard.
Pharmacist Guo suddenly said: "Second Prince, now that our army is exhausted, the Western Army can rest and wait for work, and it is not appropriate to forcefully go into battle again. If we blindly defend, the Song Army will never dare to act rashly. Besides, we are not in a desperate situation yet."
When Wanyan Zongwang heard this, he felt that there was something in Medicine Master Guo's words, and hurriedly asked, "Does General Guo have any good ideas?"
Guo Yaoshi said: "Second Prince, in the battle between Song and Liao, the Song army defeated the Liao army and shot and killed the commander of the Liao army. The situation of the Liao army at that time was far worse than ours now. At that time, the Liao army had no choice but to demand
The Southern Dynasty sent people to negotiate peace, and the Southern Dynasty immediately agreed and promised to pay annual tribute to the Liao Kingdom. Why don't we follow the Liao Kingdom's approach."
Wanyan Zongwang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he sat back and said, "Please tell me in detail."
Pharmacist Guo sang and continued: "Second Prince, please don't forget that no matter how powerful that stinky cook is, he is just a magistrate of Kaifeng. The real decision-maker is still the foolish king far away in the south of the Yangtze River. A few days ago, our army was defeated.
The Hunjun must be extremely frightened by the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty. If we send people to negotiate with the Hunjun at this time, given the character of the Hunjun, as soon as he hears that we are willing to withdraw our troops, he will definitely get it. When his imperial edict arrives,
, no matter how powerful that stinky cook is, he can only obey his order. Not only can we retreat calmly, but we can also get a lot of money from the Song Dynasty."
Liu Yanzong was a Liao official in the past and was well aware of the Song Dynasty's urinary nature. He said excitedly: "General Guo's plan is very clever. If so, not to mention how much money it will cost, the morale of the Song army will be greatly damaged. We will wait until we attack again."
, How could the Song army still resist so completely like today? This is a feat that can be accomplished in one fell swoop, wonderful, wonderful!"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said: "General Guo is worthy of being the most trustworthy adviser around this prince. I did not misjudge the person! Okay, let's do it. Yanzong, you immediately send people to Hangzhou and must persecute him as soon as possible."
That faint king must not delay any longer in issuing an imperial edict."
"As commanded."
But no matter how fast it is, it still takes time. Although Wanyan Zongwang is unable to attack Kaifeng Mansion, the current defense is more than enough. He also ordered generals to ambush on the main roads on both sides of the east and west. If the Song army dares to attack, he will definitely be defeated.
