The Jin army retreated, while the Song army tidied up the battlefield to guard against possible surprise attacks, while at the same time it began to rest on a large scale.
There was no time to set up tents, so many Song soldiers simply lay down and slept in the field.
Last night's exertion and today's hard battle are really tiring, and the warm sunshine in the winter afternoon has further aggravated this tiredness, so much so that many soldiers in armor were puzzled and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.
The common people did not hesitate to make more concessions.
In this case, the hot soup and noodles that had been prepared at noon were ignored except for a few people who needed to be on duty. A large amount of steaming soup and noodles with oily flowers could only be brought back and warmed again.
Keep it warm to prevent chaos caused by these people dining together in the evening.
Tian Shizhong was also very tired, but sitting on a small mound, he did not fall asleep immediately like the people around him, because Yue Fei once again pushed forward his military plan against his bottom line.
It is like this every time, every step of the way. It was like this when I faced Li Cheng many years ago, and it is still like this now. The other party has a firm grasp of his character, so that he, who clearly has a resistance and preservation mentality,
People often use it.
And I can't get angry or angry, so I can only grit my teeth and do it.
It would be great if he was also the Jiedushi... Master Tian sighed slightly in the center. He knew that Yue Fei must have had a break with Zhang Rong in advance. Unlike himself, he only realized that he was being raped after he came in front of him and discovered the possibility.
The opponent was forced into a corner.
Of course, there is actually a vague guess in Tianshi Center, that is, Yue Fei may not really be deliberately trying to manipulate himself. It is more that although he has a plan in his heart, he still needs to verify the approximate success with his own eyes... For example, today, if
There is not so much room for war. If the navy's suppression ability on the shore is not so outstanding, he may not really carry out this plan. If not, he will let his Beiwei army retain the cavalry in Yuancheng at a certain cost, and then attack with all his strength.
The city was bombed when it was at its most crumbling as a conservative measure.
Of course, when I think about it this way, it seems that I am taking the initiative to excuse myself from the other party, which is really ridiculous.
For a moment, it was extremely awkward.
Just like this, Tian Shizhong thought for a while and tossed and turned for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the growing tiredness and gradually fell asleep.
Then, just like most people, they don't actually sleep for long. One or two hours, or two or three hours, they will wake up before evening, and those who are not awake will also be awakened, and then there will be another busy evening and first half of the night.
A bonfire was lit, some water and food were provided, a tent was set up, military merits were discussed, casualties were counted, and even the soldiers accompanying the army were required to boost morale and appease the dead and wounded.
In addition, the civilians inevitably had to work harder. They continued to replenish the defense line overnight, continued to build pontoon bridges, transport supplies, and clean up the battlefield overnight.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that I rested for a while, and then returned to a somewhat normal rhythm.
In the next few days, Yue Fei actually did not announce his military plan. Zhang Rong and Tian Shizhong also pretended to have nothing to do and just followed the steps...not to mention strengthening the northern defense line, building forts, and launching large numbers of artillery from the north and south, all of which were just to attack the city.
Means, no one said anything.
After Tang Huai took the lead and captured a large number of ships, he once again used land navigation and sent a considerable number of ships to the far west for mopping up. He accepted that the West Fork of the North Road of the Yellow River was also naturally being cleared.
After all, in that battle, everyone witnessed with their own eyes the powerful role of the navy with its own ultra-long-range projection capability in such a narrow area. Moreover, the current army still mainly relies on the Yellow River for supplies. Once the Yellow River is controlled,
Opening up the West Fork of the North Road to Xiaowuxun will also greatly save transportation time between the battlefield and Tokyo, and improve transportation efficiency.
There's no reason not to do this.
Of course, small-scale military conflicts were inevitable again and again during this period.
A small number of ships turned back again, and then kept moving along the river to bombard the east wall of Yuancheng, testing the weak points, and then closing. Ali also came to take a peek many times, but at most it was just a peek. After that battle, they had already realized that just by relying on
Their own strength is not enough to break through the Song Army, especially as the Song Army's northern defensive positions are becoming more and more solid and complex.
Battle on the northern front, more scattered sentinel and cavalry battles.
But at the same time, some obvious signals gradually increased. For example, Wang Bolong, who did not listen to Gao Jingshan's call, suddenly went south again, almost approaching Xiajin. For example, the Song Army sentries came to report, and Mingzhou and Xiangzhou areas to the west of the river.
The Jurchen cavalry gradually became denser, and it became more difficult for the sentry cavalry to conduct armed reconnaissance.
What this portends is self-evident.
However, with the passage of time and the intensive preparations, it became more and more obvious that the Song Army's intention here was basically something that the civilians and sergeants below would not care about at all, but in the eyes of senior commanders
It's a different story here.
First of all, the main position of the Song Army moved westward. The huge Song Army military zone between the former Daming City and the old city was almost entirely moved to the north of Yuancheng. As for the original East Fork of the North Yellow River Road, the Song Army obviously gradually gave up and became just
The two key strongholds of Daming City and Gucheng were guarded. Even after the Song army took control of the more convenient West Fork of the North Yellow River, even the Gucheng began to loosen up somewhat.
It is almost conceivable that once the worst time comes, the Song army is likely to abandon the military deployment on the east coast and just defend Xiajin and Daming City. The old city can be defended if it can, and if it cannot be defended, that is it.
Secondly, after the Song Army completed the construction of the northern defense line, it almost did not stop and immediately began to continue to build the defense line south of Yuancheng, and the regulations were almost the same as those in the north.
This seems a bit excessive.
In contrast, it is used to trap the city, prevent the city from escaping, connect the internal barriers outside the city, and build the necessary siege positions, which obviously lags behind and delays.
Moreover, the position from which the artillery was launched was a little too large and off-center.
Of course, it was still only speculation and doubt at this time. Song Jun did not mention it. What really made Gao Jingshan in Yuancheng strongly aware of a certain possibility was the transportation of materials.
Let's say that although Gao Jingshan immediately thought of burning the ships that were scattered in the fork of the Yellow River to the west of Yuancheng after Yue Fei moved the camp and built the fortress, he tried to attack the Song army's formation as soon as possible.
The idea of welcoming reinforcements was the same... I thought it right and acted resolutely, but it just didn't work out.
Yue Fei also immediately asked Tang Huai to divide his troops to seize those ships, and when faced with the messengers in Yuancheng, most of them were Han army officers transferred and the navy army recruited from local fishermen showed extreme resistance to military orders.
Psychological... It is impossible for them at this level to know that the Fourth Prince's army is coming soon. They only know that the Song army is coming, but there are a lot of wavering and delayed actions, which greatly reduces the effect of Gao Jingshan's ship-burning order.
In this case, most of these ships were quickly captured by the Song Army after the Song Army completed their second trip on the road, and further became an important part of the Song Army's transfer of supplies and storage from Xiaowu to Tokyo.
Ever since, a large number of ships have been shuttled back and forth day and night. Large ships usually sail along the Yellow River and hand over directly at the shore, while small ships usually sail directly into the slightly narrow but still passable Yongji Canal.
The Song Army's positions were internally handed over in order to achieve maximum transfer efficiency.
This also allowed the Jin army in Yuancheng to be condescending and get a glimpse.
Weapons, pieces of armor, big wood, cloth, grain, and pots and pans filled with wine, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar were all taken for granted. But on this day, when Gao Jingshan received the report, he witnessed with his own eyes that the Song Army suddenly started to
After transporting the coal, I finally felt a little panicked.
Although I still dare not think about it, I don't want to think about it, but a ridiculous idea still hits the brain of this Jurchen capital who definitely has sufficient strategic vision and military experience as soon as it appears.
The city of Beijing during the Song Dynasty, and definitely Yuancheng, the first strategic point for the Song army to march into Hebei, was probably just a bait or a sore foot. Yue Fei's real purpose was to take advantage of the city and its defenders, and of course his own
The commander of the Marching Division held back the main force of the Jin army for a long time, giving the Song army in the east direction of the river enough time to attack Taiyuan, which had more strategic value.
One day in late November, under a clear sky, north of Yuancheng, Yue Fei and a group of close officers were inspecting the siege positions.
Moreover, although the fortification construction and military deployment in other places around it seemed a bit perfunctory, the battles between the two sides gradually became more frequent and routine as the siege positions were built.
The so-called siege position does not refer to how many artillery carts must be built, how many siege towers should be built, etc., but more to reducing obstacles and creating a favorable environment for these things that are the final word in siege... For example, in
Filling in ditches along the route of the siege tower selected under the city, for example, throwing some wooden palisades around the route of the siege tower to facilitate cover for the troops, or making a proper raid and burning part of the weakly defended sheep and horse wall.
Even including building a rammed-earth general platform at a safe distance, arranging a reserve attack site, etc., are all part of building a position.
Correspondingly, there will be no standing still in the city. In addition to the necessary demolition of buildings to build artillery carts and establish artillery cart positions, it is also necessary to send out appropriate death squads to harass, and then build some temporary giant crossbows on towers with considerable advantages.
, for targeted clearing.
"Is that there?"
Parked on the other side of the Yongji Canal in the northwest of the city, using the cover of the river embankment, Yue Fei pointed with his finger to a wall of fortifications on the opposite side that was obviously a temporary construction. There were still figures moving there.
"yes."
A battalion commander in charge of the front immediately responded. "So that the marshal knows that that place is the most forward position in the northwest corner of Yuancheng, and it is also the first position where the fixed crossbow is pressed. But it has never been let go, and we just
It was thought that it was out of reach, but yesterday a flat-bottomed boat full of ordnance passed by the Yongji Canal here, and it was a little slower in the middle. The crossbowmen on the city did not hold back, and fired their crossbows directly to attack the boat, which made a big hole.
After driving for a few dozen steps, he couldn't move, and it took us a lot of effort to salvage the supplies..."
"What do you mean?" Yue Fei listened carefully and asked calmly.
"Set up an eight-oxen crossbow right here where they can't reach it, and take advantage of the range to suppress that side." The battalion commander responded on the spot. "Once it is set up, we will destroy it once."
"Yes." Yue Fei responded casually. "But you can't use the navy. The military counselor will give you a document later, and you can go to the craftsman camp to pick up a new one..."
"The general will know." the battalion commander blurted out.
Yue Fei nodded and was about to continue his inspection, but at this moment, a horse came galloping over and shouted hurriedly from dozens of steps away: "Marshal! Counselor Huang will ask you to go to the river quickly, saying that Tokyo may be
A senior official has arrived, and he has already gone to the river first!"
Yue Fei immediately became solemn, and many of the officers around him were also awe-inspiring. Huang Zuo, the commander in charge of affairs in the north of the city, even raised his hands in salute and took the initiative to express his position: "Marshal, you don't have to worry about this. I will do my best in the end."
Yue Fei nodded again and turned his horse back without saying a word.
But at this moment, suddenly, there was a shout from the place where the figure was shaking, and then a crossbow arrow flew... But unfortunately, the crossbow arrow was crooked, and it barely floated across the Yongji Canal, then it was powerless and slid directly on the river embankment.
superior.
Yue Fei reined in his horse, raised his head, and asked seriously: "Headwind?"
"It is indeed a headwind." Huang Zuo shook his head and smiled. "Isn't it the northwest wind in the winter?"
Yue Fei nodded again and again, and then suddenly took out the bow from his horse, raised it on the horse, made a few gestures, and then directly drew the bow and shot. The arrow also went with the wind... This arrow, of course, missed the target and occupied the height advantage.
And the crossbowman on the enemy tower in the far distance, if he wanted to hit it, he would be a real god... But it didn't miss, an arrow flew out, and directly circled one to the northwest of the city. At this time, it happened to reach the northwest most,
Having entered the shooting range, Hai Dongqing shot down in mid-air.
Obviously, the Hebei Marshal had noticed this bird that must belong to the enemy early on.
If it was shot by Zhao Guan's family, he would have to go to the mansion to report it. If it was shot by King Han, he would probably have to write half a poem while holding on to his belt... But since
It was Yue Fei who shot it, but it was just a shot. Hai Dongqing landed on the embankment on the other side of Yongji Canal. Without even looking at it, Hai Dongqing reined in his horse and ran away to find the important officials from Tokyo.
We walked to the bank of the Yellow River further northwest. There, on one side, logistics goods were being transferred non-stop, and on the other side, many civilians took small boats along the shore to destroy the thin ice on both sides. Among them, a purple-robed man on the embankment on the shore
The figure of the member seemed too prominent.
Yue Fei dismounted his horse in advance and hurried forward. When he came up to him, when he saw his counselor Huang Zong and others, they were all respectful and cautious, and he became even more cautious.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, when the purple-robed officer approached him and turned around, Yue Fei was still frightened for a moment, and then actually took the initiative as a marshal to offer his hands and greet him respectfully.
All the previous preparations and calmness flew to Java in an instant.
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was a leader among the civil servants of the dynasty, with extremely high qualifications, great achievements, and a very high status.
Although Hu Yin is only a few years older than Yue Fei and is only one of the six ministers, he is also Yue Fei's undoubted choice. He has served as the censor Zhongcheng equivalent to half a prime minister, served as the governor of Kansai, and previously served as the Ministry of Industry.
As Shangshu, he was in charge of the logistics construction of the Northern Expedition... The so-called three ministers of Jingkang Taixue, the one who can bite Zhao and Zhang now, or even control the two of them, is none other than this Shangshu Hu.
It's Chen Gui and Liu Ji, the two deputy prime ministers, who are probably both fake inside when facing this person.
What's more, unlike other civil servants, Hu Yin mostly participated in military planning because of his main battle stance. He accompanied him in the Battle of Yanling, was the governor of northern Shaanxi in the Battle of Yaoshan, was in charge of logistics in Pingxia, and was also in charge of rear transportation during the Northern Expedition.
He came forward to restrain Han Shizhong, arrested Qu Duan, promoted the Wu Jie brothers, and killed Yang Zheng. Of course, in the early years, he personally recommended Yue Fei, who was still a miscellaneous soldier, to directly serve as the governor.
His ability to suppress and intimidate his commanders is naturally unique.
How can such a person be regarded as an ordinary minister? But once this person arrives, all the words and preparations pale.
"Marshal Yue."
Hu Yin turned around and saw Yue Fei arriving. He looked calm and handed over his hand directly. "All the ministers are already aware of your plan, and I have also received your private message... The military is serious, don't waste time, where is your central army tent? Hurry up.
Take me there, and then summon Zhang Jiedu and Deputy Tian, I have something to say."
"I would like to comply with Duke Ming's wishes." Yue Fei became more and more nervous, but he could only respond with his hands raised.
In this way, after hurriedly walking by the river for a while, Hu Yin immediately transferred to the Chinese army's tent, and then did not speak to Yue Fei. Even when Yue Fei asked him to take a seat first, he refused, and he did not use food or water, but just waited...
This made the atmosphere more solemn.
Fortunately, Tian Shizhong was supervising the construction of Tushan in the north of Yuancheng. At this time, he heard Yue Fei's call and flew over on Pegasus. He arrived in a moment. However, Zhang Rong went to 'explore' the lower reaches of the West Fork of the North Road of the Yellow River and kept waiting.
After more than an hour, in the afternoon, I was late.
"Everyone else, get out."
Seeing Zhang Rong also arriving, Hu Yin finally spoke, but as soon as he came up, he excluded all the idle people.
Yue, Zhang, and Tian looked at each other in confusion. They felt that they had lost all their thoughts and confidence before, and they had to face each other with all their strength. They couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.
And sure enough, when all the court officials and attendants left and there were only four people left in the tent, Hu Mingzhong made the three people's hearts sink to the bottom with one word:
"Mi Ge Gong Lun, Yue, Zhang, and Tian played with the enemy and allowed the invaders to support their troops. They respected themselves and relied on their favor to become arrogant. I deeply agree with this."
As soon as these words came out, Tian Shizhong's face turned pale, and Zhang Rong was at a loss for a moment... Maybe it was because he didn't understand the meaning of these three words... And Yue Fei could only quickly hand it over:
"Ming Gong is kind!"
"Can Yue Jiedu allow me to finish?" Hu Yin responded coldly.
Yue Fei could only remain silent.
"The Secret Pavilion believes that the Hebei Front Army abandoned the three prefectures without authorization, causing more than 100,000 people to be displaced in the middle of winter. This was not only suspected of abandoning the land, but also caused a sharp increase in logistical pressure. The military supplies that the country had accumulated for three years were in vain.
Unplanned dumping... no matter how much you three argue about this, you can't change the fact that it has caused turmoil and trouble to the country... right?" After saying this, Hu stood on one side of the Chinese military tent.
Yin just looked around the three of them and asked formally, "You three can talk about this first."
Yue Fei did his part.
However, under the attention of the other two people, he faced each other, but he hesitated to say anything. In the end, he could only confess: "The abandonment of the three states was to concentrate troops, but it caused the displacement of 100,000 Hebei people. It was really because of my lack of consideration...
…I am the marshal of the Hebei Front Army, and when questioned by Tokyo, I have no words to defend myself...Only because the war is serious, I ask the Prime Ministers of Tokyo and the Secret Pavilion Yuanren to allow me to go and plead guilty after the war.”
Hu Yin nodded and continued to respond with a stern face: "The Secret Pavilion also discussed the military plan you submitted to the Privy Council. They all said that you were ambitious and wanted to gain personal success, hijacking a large number of troops and plotting evil..."
"Mr. Hu." Someone finally couldn't help interrupting Hu Mingzhong, but it turned out to be Tian Shizhong who was anxious for the moment. "There are more than 65,000 soldiers in front of the imperial camp, the right army, and the navy, plus 780,000 civilians. The total is
There are 140,000 to 50,000 people, but no one can bear this crime!"
"Do you and Jiedu think so too?" Hu Yinli ignored Tian Shizhong and looked directly at the other two.
Although Zhang Rong didn't understand those words, he knew what they meant by ambition and evil intentions, and he immediately handed them over angrily: "Me too!"
"No matter what, I never have such intention!" Yue Fei just reluctantly handed over his hand, but unexpectedly, he was not as emotional as Zhang Rong and Tian Shizhong.
"Then do you know why everyone in the Secret Pavilion thinks so?" Hu Yin stared at Yue Fei and asked.
Yue Fei remained silent.
Seeing this, Hu Yin continued to respond with a dark face: "It seems that you know... Mi Ge thinks that by doing this, you are leaving Tokyo in front of the enemy, and you are risking millions of people in Tokyo, as well as the queen mother, noble concubines, and virtuous concubines.
, Princes, the safety of the princess is at risk... Some people say that you are a worse person than Fan Qiong, who supports soldiers and respects himself, and some people say that you are a person who is more ridiculous than Liu Guangshi, who deceives the world and steals fame. And if this is the only person in the Secret Pavilion,
You are being criticized and talked about like this, but someone in the palace wants to kill you!"
Hearing this, Yue Fei was relieved, and just calmly said, "Ming Gong, Fei's original intention is revealed."
Hu Yin was silent for a moment and did not reply for a while.
Tian Shizhong, on the other hand, hurriedly stepped forward again to explain: "Hu Gong... the imperial camp's front army, right army, navy, and navy totaled 90,000, and the navy was small. The remaining three armies totaled more than 80,000 soldiers, although they were damaged.
Today, the total number of soldiers here is only over 60,000, and the remaining cities and towns are not vacant. Xiajin, Gaotang and Jinan are connected to the east, and Puyang behind us is now in our hands. It can be sandwiched between Baima... and Shaoxing.
The river sticks to the north gate of Tokyo..."
"You just say that once the Yellow River freezes, the Jin Army abandons these cities and you, and then marches directly to the city of Tokyo. The old events of Jingkang will happen again. How should you react?" Hu Yin listened impatiently and spoke again.
, interrupted the other party.
Tian Shizhong was frightened for a moment and quickly said again: "Mr. Hu, at this moment and that moment, the Jin army will not abandon Daming Mansion and go south!"
"Yes." Zhang Rong also became serious. "Hu Shangshu will know after thinking about it. In Jingkang, the navy on the river was useless. What about our navy in the imperial camp now? If he dares to go south, he only needs to survive.
After the ice is over, I will lock the Jin Army in Henan...and then I might be able to directly attack the Huanglong Mansion!"
Hu Yin nodded, glanced at Yue Fei, who had been silent all his life, and then continued to speak seriously: "So, let's not talk about whether Tokyo can be defended or whether the Jin army will go south. We only want to talk about one thing, that is, the three of them are
Frankly speaking, if the Jin army really goes south, even if it reaches the gates of Tokyo, you will not be able to save it... right or wrong?"
Zhang Rong was speechless for a moment, and Tian Shizhong also fell silent.
"Yes!" After a while, Yue Fei suppressed all his thoughts and faced each other. "The achievements of ten years are all here, and Tokyo seems dangerous, but in fact there is no need to worry. If the Jin Kingdom really sends its army south, the general will think that Chen Shuxiang
It can be properly defended for dozens of days, or even less time, and the last general...the last general will not really pursue easily! Instead, he will step up the siege of Daming Mansion to prevent it from going south!"
Hu Mingzhong looked deeply at the other party again and asked calmly: "What if the Queen Mother of Tokyo issues the decree? Will the province or the Privy Council come to urge it?"
"The last general will only recognize the will of the officials." Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Before the officials left, I publicly promised the last general the right to decide Hebei."
"Do you know what the consequences will be if this word spreads?" Hu Yin kept asking.
"After about this battle, even if you achieve an unparalleled feat, you will be despised by the princes in Tokyo, and then just sit idle and never be used again." Yue Fei responded calmly. "But on the other hand, if such a battle can achieve an unparalleled achievement,
, I will fly to death without any regrets, let alone be rejected by others?"
"Actually, it's that simple."
Hu Yin nodded, and finally sighed with his hands behind his hands. "Everyone knows that even if we take ten thousand steps back, the Jin Army really went south and captured the city of Tokyo. The world was shocked. But now and then, they didn't
Maybe someone like Jingkang who won just like that would have to gain a city and lose the world... Because the official family is in Hedong, smart people in the world probably understand that since our official family can re-establish the imperial court in exile, then
Naturally, we can set up a second time. What's more, at this time, the government has 300,000 imperial troops, the main force of the Jin army is locked up, and they can know the response. It is completely possible to break through Taiyuan, go to Yanjing, and attack Huanglong... But Peng
For example, no matter how reasonable your calculations are and how optimal they are from a military perspective, since there is a danger of exposing Tokyo, then all the princes in Tokyo, whether it is a secret palace or a public palace, will all hate you.
It's deep in your bones, because they are in Tokyo, you have put them in a 'disposable' position, at least they seem to be 'disposable'! How did Kou Zhun lose power? You are also a student, don't you know?"
Yue Fei just lowered his head and said nothing.
"And let's be honest, this time, even I am disgusted with you handsome ministers." Hu Mingzhong continued. "Do you know why?"
Yue Fei also thought of what the other party said at the beginning, "I also deeply agree", but he finally said seriously: "I am ashamed, but I really don't feel that Duke Ming and the Dukes are really abandonable..."
"That's not what I mean, at least it's more than that." Hu Yin clasped his hands and sighed. "What we people hate about you is that you always rely on the overall situation to need you, so you force all the well-intentioned people in the world to talk about the overall situation.
People are doing things for you...Forcing the people in the south to raise taxes to support you, forcing the city of Tokyo to turn into a military camp, forcing cultural trends, and royal ceremonies to all turn into your coal and artillery carts, forcing the lazy and casual
Sexual officials have no choice but to collude with you warriors, abandon the importance of being a leader, and become the greatest military leader... This persecution will not be changed just because you Yue Fei served the country with loyalty, nor will it be changed just because of your Zhang Zhang.
How can Rong act on behalf of heaven? This is what the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops have been doing to the country year after year, making it impossible for the country to function normally! In the past few years, I have been responsible for the military preparations for the Northern Expedition, and the thing I think about most often is
That is to say, these things are the people’s wealth and anointment gathered from the whole country. If they are consumed and nothing can be done, how can we see the Jiangdong elders?!"
Tian Shizhong, who was highly educated, was a little confused, but Yue Fei could completely understand what he meant. Unexpectedly, Zhang Rong also seemed to understand.
"Yue Pengju." Hu Yin finally dusted off the dust on his purple robe, and then faced each other with hands tied. "I tell you clearly... In order for you to succeed, this time, several ministers have really tried their best, and Mr. Lu dismissed the palace.
, Xianggong Zhao and Xianggong Zhang almost suppressed the Secret Pavilion. Xianggong Chen risked the lives of more than a hundred members of his family on the spot and swore that the city of Tokyo would be unbreakable. Furthermore, as you reminded me in your private message, I snatched Xianggong Zhang’s whereabouts and came to stay in the army.
As for the fuel transfer at the rear, you don’t have to worry. Since I’m here, there is no possibility of delaying the rear. Of course, now that things have happened, talking about these things seems to be taking credit... But this battle, or this Northern Expedition
, you must do your best, try your best to hold back the main force of the Jin Army, so as to achieve your unparalleled success, because even I have to say on behalf of all the people in the rear, no one wants to come back for another ten years after such hard work!
"
Tian Shizhong was overjoyed, and Zhang Rong was relieved on the spot.
Only Yue Fei became more and more serious, but he could only hand over his hand again and again: "The general will still say the same thing, the sky is clear, you can learn from this heart! Please take a seat, Ming Gong, and watch the general come true!"
"I won't take the seat. You are the marshal. You take the seat yourself." Hu Mingzhong turned around and sat on the chair to the left of the marshal's seat. He responded calmly and slightly tiredly. "Don't worry, from today on, I will take care of everything in Tokyo."
You are responsible for making decisions on military affairs, and you are responsible for making your own decisions... Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
Yue Fei had mixed feelings when he heard this, but he bowed respectfully upward. Seeing this, Zhang Rong and Tian Shizhong also hurriedly saluted Hu Yin. Immediately, Yue Fei sat down on the main seat, and Zhang Rong also hurriedly stepped forward and sat down.
Another position on one side.
Tian Shizhong, on the other hand, wanted to step forward, but when he saw that all three seats were taken, he turned out and ordered the attendants and staff to beat the drums to gather the generals. Then he turned back, and soon
Those who had the consciousness stood beside the three of them with their swords in hand.
After three rounds of drums, the generals gathered together and saw Hu Yin. They knew that it was the world-famous Hu Shangshu. They were also shocked. When Hu Shangshu ordered him on the spot in the name of the Prime Minister of Tokyo, Yue Fei should postpone the attack on the city and defend the ground.
, in order to contain the main force of the Jin Army... Although everyone above and below was increasingly frightened, they could only look at each other with awe.
So, just like that, after Hu Yin arrived, the Song army no longer concealed its strategic intentions. As more supplies continued to be transferred, double-layered barriers were built around Yuancheng, both inside and outside.
, piled up mountains of earth, and built docks non-stop.
However, during this period, the rumbling on the other side of the Yellow River gradually continued, and then it was obvious that the Jin army soldiers and horses gradually gathered. At the beginning, the Song army could send troops to engage in short battles to defeat them, but when the time came to ten
In the last few days of January, we saw the continuous formation of the Jin army, and countless infantry and cavalry gathered in a few days. The Song army finally could no longer cross the river to invite an attack.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jin army's camp was gradually erected. There were tens of thousands of people, plus no less than two to three hundred thousand sign troops responsible for transportation and logistics. On the plain, they camped for dozens of miles.
And that same day, the royal flag of King Wu Shu of the Kingdom of Wei and the five-color sun-holding flag of Marshal Lisu appeared together on the other side of the river.
Seeing this, Yue Fei did not hesitate, gathered eight oxen crossbows and artillery carts, and in front of the main force of the Jin army, they continued to smash the city. In one day, they destroyed the four corner towers in the northwest corner of Yuancheng as a courtesy.
.
Wu Shu, Ba Lisu was stunned for a moment, and then, before ramming the earth to make a general platform, he released a hot air balloon that he didn't dare to use for a long time, and raised it in person to look at it. When he saw the various arrangements under the river embankment on the other side, he was also
Look at each other and change color.
However, when they looked back at the huge camp behind them, they couldn't help but feel proud and gradually rose up.
This kind of crowd can shake mountains, let alone armies that are besieged internally and externally?
