Chapter 1123 Race against time (seeking monthly ticket)
In order not to give Wanyan Zonghan enough time to prepare, Li Qi and Zhong Shidao led the army to rush forward. In a few days, they arrived at Yuzhou.
Weizhou also has a very special value in the Yanyun area. It can be said to be the center of the sixteen states of Yanyun. Now the east is basically controlled by the Song Dynasty, but the states in the west are still under the control of the Jin Dynasty.
in the hand.
In fact, after subsequent negotiations with the Yanshan Mansion, the Jin State had returned Weizhou to the Song Dynasty in the face of the Song Dynasty's stubborn lawsuit. However, due to the Zhang Jue incident, Wanyan Zongwang became angry and took it back.
At that time, Song Huizong saw that the Jin Kingdom was using force, and he immediately became depressed. If he dared to ask for it back again, just take it and don't hit me.
In the end, the money was given, but the land was taken back after being taken away. It really went to grandma's house.
However, after Wanyan Zongwang captured Yuzhou, he immediately went back to prepare to attack the Song Dynasty. Not long after, he led his troops southward. He did not expect that the Song army would one day be able to attack here, so he did not expect that the Song army would be able to attack here.
There is no hoarding of troops.
And now his disastrous defeat has made the Jin Kingdom's defense of Yuzhou even more inadequate.
In the strategy formulated by the Song Army, Yuzhou must be recaptured, because Yuzhou is the east gate of Yunzhou. You must pass through here. If you go around it, once the Jin Army consolidates the defense here, it will be cut off.
The connection between Dajun and Yanshan Mansion was established.
Wanyan Zonghan also knew the purpose of the Song army, but because there were tens of thousands of Zhongjia troops and Zhejia troops in the west, how could he dare to separate his troops? In addition, when he rescued Wanyan Zongwang, he also transferred some troops from Yuzhou. Now,
We can only send people to tell the garrison of Weizhou to delay the Song army as much as possible and buy time for reinforcements.
However, the Jin army was poorly prepared, and the Song army had been planning for a long time. Zhong Shidao personally went into battle. He commanded an army of 100,000 troops, divided into three groups, and marched forcefully into Yuzhou. The Song army was now in high morale, and they successively attacked Feihu in less than three days.
, Guangling, Lingqiu three places.
The Jin army faced ten times the enemy and could not stop it at all. They could only retreat into Weizhou City. This is what Zhong Shidao likes to see most. If you defend the city, your cavalry will be useless, and there is no point in playing tricks.
We should directly attack Yuzhou City and not give the Jin army a chance to go out of the city to fight.
On the fifth day, the Song army captured Yuzhou City.
The price paid was very small. The more the Song army fought, the more confident they became. The Jin soldiers were just like this. If I defend you, you can't attack. If I attack, you can't stop it. It seems that Yunzhou is already at your fingertips.
After taking Yuzhou, Li Qi immediately told Zongze the news. He hoped that he could integrate the defenses of Yanshan Mansion and Yuzhou, and leave Wu Jie brother and his Moon Attack Army to garrison here to consolidate the defense.
Then he quickly led the army and continued to advance.
Wanyan Zonghan did not expect that Weizhou would be lost so quickly. Faced with the Song army's rapid advance, he finally began to feel worried.
As soon as you leave Weizhou, you will arrive in Yunzhou.
However, Zhongshidao is afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so he does not take the narrow path. Even if it is further away, he has to go around Kangzhuang Avenue, because there are so many of them. If you choose the nearest one, if you are attacked in a narrow place, your formation will not be able to do it at all.
When deployed, the advantage of large numbers of people could not be used. Fortunately, most of this generation was in plain areas, which provided the Song army with a lot of conveniences.
We were about to reach Yunzhou, but the road was calm. Not even a shadow of the Jin Army was seen.
Li Qi was riding on the horse. The calmness around him made him feel a little uneasy. He frowned and said, "Brother, something seems wrong!"
Zhong Shidao smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. Yunzhou's military strength is insufficient. It is simply impossible to encircle and annihilate our 100,000 troops. Moreover, they also have to defend the southwest front. Fighting on these two fronts,
How dare they send out troops so easily? Of course they have to shrink the front so as not to be in trouble."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a long sound, "Report---!"
A sentinel rushed over and said, "Commander Qi, there is a Jin army coming towards us from the north."
Slap in the face!
"chiluo" is so naked that it slaps you in the face!
Master Zhong said a moment ago that the Jin army did not dare to go out, but unexpectedly a Jin army came immediately.
But at this time, who would care about this? Li Qi hurriedly asked: "How many people?"
"Since the enemy divided his troops into three groups, the subordinate positions have not yet been clearly investigated, but as far as we know now, it will not be less than 10,000 people."
Zhong Shidao asked: "How far away is the enemy from us now?"
"It's about ten miles away, and it won't take half an hour to meet our army."
Zhong Shidao hurriedly ordered the army to stop and be ready to fight at any time.
Soon, the Song army set up their formation and waited for the Jin army to arrive.
However, after waiting for about an hour, Jin Jun was nowhere to be seen.
Song Jun was at a loss. It's only more than ten miles away. You should have reached it even if you left!
"Report---!"
"Reporting to the infantry commander, the enemy army suddenly stopped five miles away from our army."
"What? Stopped?" Li Qi said in disbelief: "What tricks are they playing again?"
Zhong Shidao asked again: "Have you ever found out how many enemy soldiers there are?"
The sentry detective said: "The enemy seems to be intentionally hiding their troops, but we haven't been able to find out clearly yet."
Yue Fei said: "Commander Bu, my mentor, this is probably the enemy's delaying strategy."
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "They may be doing this to buy time for their own reinforcements."
Yang Zaixing said: "The last general is willing to lead 10,000 cavalry to fight the enemy."
Zhong Shidao hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, we still don't know how many enemy troops there are. If we don't divide our troops, they will have nothing to do with us. But if this is a ploy by the other side to lure the enemy, and we divide our troops,
If you go out, you may play into the enemy's hands."
They cannot afford to lose this battle and must be cautious.
Having said that, Zhongshidao still asked Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing to lead 10,000 cavalry to protect the right wing to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks, and the army continued to advance at full speed.
...
In a mountain forest to the north of the Song Army, Wanyan Xiyin was leading 10,000 light cavalry to gather here. He was ordered to bypass Yunzhou, slow down the advance of the Song Army, and buy time for his own reinforcements.
However, cultivating the master's way is not for nothing. He led the Song army to take a special road. Wanyan Xiyin followed for a long time, but he still couldn't find an opportunity to make a move. This made him very depressed, so he wanted to use mysterious tactics to slow down the situation.
The speed of the Song army's march.
"Report! Report to the Deputy Commander, the Song Army is moving forward again."
Wanyan Xiyin frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems that the Song army has understood our strategy. We are ambushing here and can no longer confuse them. Now we can only rely on attacking to delay them."
After hearing this, the generals under their command had strange expressions on their faces. Although they were called the Song Army, they still had an army of hundreds of thousands. We have 10,000 troops and ran to confront them. Aren't you going to die? And also
It's impossible to stop it.
Wanyan Xiyin saw the hesitation in the hearts of the soldiers, so he added: "Now we have to face a two-sided battle, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. No matter what, we will do everything we can to drag them away, even if we die here.
As soon as our reinforcements arrive, we can turn from passive to active. Although the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, it also causes the team to be too long. We cannot look at each other end to end. We only need to concentrate our forces to attack one point, and the enemy will return.
Rescue, we will withdraw. You must know that the reason why the enemy did not divide their troops to attack us is because they do not know our true and false strength. We still have hiding places in the hundred miles ahead. Once we enter the territory of Yunzhou,
There are vast plains there, and we can no longer hide. If the enemy knows our true strength, they will send troops to pursue us unscrupulously. Therefore, we must make good use of this hundred miles."
After hearing this, the soldiers felt relieved. It turned out that they could still escape, so that was good.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Pucha Wulie, you lead five thousand cavalry. Follow behind and attack the enemy's rear."
"As you command!"
"Qunqi, you have three thousand cavalry to support and cover Pucha Wulie's retreat."
"As commanded."
"If the enemy is chasing you, you should flee to Hukou Valley. The terrain there is dangerous. I have set up a suspicious formation there. The enemy will never dare to enter. Remember, don't think about fighting. If the enemy turns back, you should evacuate quickly.
.”
...
"Kill!"
The Song army had just marched about ten miles more when the sound of killing suddenly broke out from behind. A Jin army came out from behind and attacked the rear of the Song army. When they got close, they rode on their horses and shot at the Song army with bows and arrows.
Since they had already grasped the enemy's movements beforehand, the Song army was not too panicked.
The crossbowmen on the chariot also set up their bows and drew arrows to fight back at the enemy, while the infantry and spearmen quickly formed their formations, preparing to block the enemy.
However, the Jin army did not attack, but instead moved laterally, wandering at the end of the Song army, sometimes far and sometimes near, hitting left and right, but never broke into the Song army's formation.
But after a while, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing led their cavalry from the front to support them.
When Pucha Wulie saw Yue Fei and others coming, he immediately retreated. Yang Zaixing led his troops to pursue him. But at this time, he who was lying in ambush on the side led his troops to rush out, using bows and arrows to stop Yang Zaixing's pursuit, and then immediately retreated with Pucha Wulie.
Yang Zaixing saw that the opponent's troops were not large, so he led his troops to catch up. However, Zhong Shidao was worried that Yang Zaixing would be ambushed by the enemy, so he quickly issued an order for Yang Zaixing to come back.
This is just harassment. Although both parties have suffered losses, they can be ignored.
Zhong Shidao was helpless. The Jin Army's cavalry ran fast and were good at fighting ambushes. Without knowing the true strength of the enemy, he did not dare to divide his troops easily, let alone pursue them, and it was difficult to catch up.
However, the Song army had just walked less than ten miles when the enemy troops came up from the left again and harassed them for a while. When they saw Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing coming, they quickly retreated.
Zhong Shidao thought that it would be okay if you continue to play like this, but their team is too long and it is difficult to cover everything. The enemy is cavalry, so they can attack any point at will, but they only attack on the periphery.
Fight, I will run as soon as you come, but I can't encircle you. This is also their best trick, so I let Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing lead the pursuit and stick to this Jin army, but be sure not to rush in. If there is any trouble,
Come back immediately. Then he ordered the army to move forward quickly and strive to enter Yunzhou as soon as possible.
Yue Fei and others pursued all the way until the enemy entered a long and narrow valley. Yue Fei and others stopped. Yue Fei saw that the valley was surrounded by fog and was quiet. He was worried that the enemy was ambushing here, so he could only lead his troops to turn back.
But their pursuit also bought a lot of time for the main force.
Not long after Yue Fei and the others came back, the enemy army came to kill them again. This time, Zhong Shidao made the final preparations and ordered the archers on the chariot to string their arrows, so that they could release arrows as soon as they saw the enemy.
This time the Jin Army did not gain much.
Wanyan Xiyin had no choice. He just wanted to buy as much time as possible, even if it was just a quarter of an hour. At the beginning, his repeated harassment still had a good effect, preventing the Song army from marching at full speed.
The speed was forced to slow down.
However, Zhongshidao has adjusted the formation and moved the cavalry to the periphery. If you dare to harass me, I will let the cavalry block your way back.
After Wanyan Xiyin learned about it, he felt very depressed. At this moment, a drop of water suddenly fell on the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw that it was raining. He stared at the sky blankly for a long time.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "God is really helping me, Yunzhou has nothing to worry about."
