As time goes by, things inevitably unfold in a dynamic situation, especially in complex war situations.
On February 4th, the Song Army relied on surprise and used artillery in the artillery battle at Xiacaicheng, and won a visible victory in the long stalemate. In the evening of that day, news of Liangshanbo's victory also arrived in Huaishang.
On February 5th, when Han Shizhong sent Tian Shizhong up the mountain, he specifically reminded Zhao Guan's family that the battle was far from over.
On February 6th, unexpectedly, the Jin army decisively divided its forces and headed north, seemingly evacuating in an orderly manner.
On the evening of the same day, Zhao Guan's family found Han Shizhong, who concluded that the Jin army might attack the east and west to kill a carbine, and put forward a plan to remove the Jin army's camp in accordance with the requirements of Zhao Guan's family, and received Zhao Jiu's approval.
Early in the morning on the seventh day of February, Zhao Guan's family, who had made up their minds, summoned Lu Haowen and Wang Boyan, the two princes of the East and West Prefectures, and unilaterally informed them of the general military plan. With the assistance of several close ministers, they nominally approved the political affairs. Discussion in class.
In the morning, the Jin army began to pack up again, and with Zhao Jiu personally in charge of the water village, Han Shizhong also began to replace the broken troops in Xiacai City with elites from the Bagongshan Camp in Henan as planned.
At noon, the 7,000-strong second unit of the Jin Army officially set off as predicted.
In the afternoon, Zhao Jiu, Imperial Banzhi, and many close ministers crossed the river with Huyantong's tribe, and returned to Xiacai from Neidu. However, because they wanted to guard against news, they just stopped in the government office and did not show up.
Shortly after Zhao Jiu entered the city, in the evening, Han Shizhong himself, wearing ordinary armor and without a flag, suddenly led a few cavalry from the direction of Jinying, and after an almost acrobatic chase, he calmly entered the city, but then Suggestions were made to Zhao Guanjia to change the attack time.
"If you don't want to attack at night, let's change it to a raid early tomorrow morning?"
Zhao Jiu paused for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately nodded. "Just follow what the good minister said."
Han Shizhong originally wanted to explain, but he failed. Not only the officials agreed, but also the accompanying civil and military officials were speechless, so he simply left.
As soon as the people left, Zhang Jun, who had been watching with cold eyes, spoke from the side: "Good instructors know that Han Tongzhi is afraid!"
"Is that so?" Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting still, did not change his expression. Instead, he pointed at the brand new red robe on his body. "I thought Han Qing wanted the soldiers who came out of the city to attack the camp to see me clearly on top of the city. Here are my new clothes."
Zhang Jun was slightly startled. He wanted to hold it back, but he still couldn't hold it back: "Guan! This is simply Han Wu's bold statement before, insisting on launching some kind of night attack. As a result, he went to investigate in person today and found out The Jin army was heavily guarded, and his old strategy of attacking at night simply didn't work, so he changed it to an early morning attack!"
"What Zhang Taiwei said is inappropriate." At this moment, Zhang Jun, the censor Zhongcheng and half-name friend of Zhang Taiwei, suddenly came out and refuted it in public. "This adjustment of Han's control system may of course be I underestimated the Jin army’s defense, but that doesn’t mean I overestimated the strength of our army in night battles… If the night attack failed, it’s hard to say whether it was only today that we realized that the Jin army was too strong or that our army was too weak today.”
When Zhang Jun saw it was Yushi Zhongcheng, he was frightened and his momentum stagnated. But when he braced himself to retort, someone sneered and confronted Yushi Zhongcheng before him. Captain Zhang raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhao Ding and Zhao Damu who had been through thick and thin these past few days!
"Zhang Xiantai!" Zhao Dingfu opened his mouth, and the alienation and anger in his words were obvious. "I would like to teach Zhang Xiantai that we are facing the enemy in Huaibei day and night, and the Jin people know the truth and falsehood. If you, the senior officials in the rear, do not know the truth and falsehood of the Jin army,
Just ask me, why are you talking here?"
"That's right," Zhang Jun came to his senses and responded quickly. "If Han Wu could have asked us in Huaibei before, why would we have changed our strategy before the battle? The key is to put the officials in danger, so that the instructors know that I have been here for a long time with you.
As the Jin army maneuvered around, they knew that the Jin camp was well-organized, spacious and orderly, with strict duty at night, and even had eagles and dogs on guard day and night..."
"Eagle dog?" Zhao Jiu, who had listened expressionlessly for a long time, was suddenly startled. "Haitongqing and military dog?"
"No, that's right." Zhang Jun was also taken aback by Zhao Guan's reaction, but he could only explain bravely. "It's Haidongqing and military dogs. The Jin people are good at fishing and hunting. Most of the marching and fighting methods come from hunting methods.
Naturally, I carry something with me as a precaution!"
"Haidong Qing flies so high, doesn't it mean that the real situation in the city is clear at a glance?" Zhao Jiu quickly asked. "With this arrangement, doesn't it mean that Hai Dongqing can also see it?"
"The officials think too much." Zhang Jun finally understood what the officials meant, but he breathed a sigh of relief. "Hai Dongqing is just a hunting falcon. The Chen family is in Kansai, and they are also very knowledgeable... This kind of
No matter how smart a thing is, it is nothing more than a bird. It can understand when a large group of people are marching in the grassland, desert and snow. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are people everywhere. In the large flow of people in the wild, it can hardly distinguish between the soldiers and the civilians. How can it understand what is going on in the city?
What's going on? If it's really so magical, the Jurchens should have known about it when I first launched my artillery!"
Zhao Jiu knew that he had made a joke, and then nodded slowly: "In other words, when Hai Dongqing arrived in the Central Plains, he used the invincibility of the Falcon in the air to deliver a secret military information. Is he more of a messenger?"
"That's right." Captain Zhang nodded repeatedly. "Good instructors know that in terms of camp defense alone, the eagle may not be as good as a dog, the dog may not be as good as the camp, and the camp may not be as human... In short, if Han Shizhong dared to ask the minister that day,
If we adopt this strategy again, we will never have such absurd things as rescheduling the battle!"
Zhao Jiu laughed dryly and nodded immediately: "I know that Zhang Qing has been supporting Xia Cai independently these days, and he has done hard work. I also know that in order to defend Xia Cai, you almost destroyed your family and rescued people. You will be great in this battle.
Hero, I know it in my heart! In short, I will never let you fight this battle in vain!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun felt that his bones had lost a few pounds. He felt that his bet was not in vain, and he immediately nodded.
Zhao Ding, on the other hand, looked a little helpless... The official family was in a fog, and they didn't know whether they were pretending to be confused or really confused, but their intention to protect Han Shizhong in some way was not too obvious.
Looking at it this way, among the two Zhang and Han, Han Shizhong has the more sacred heart!
And if we continue to study further, we can only say that no matter what, compared with Zhang Deyuan who took the first step and then took the lead step by step, Zhao Yuanzhen is still a little bit behind in all aspects.
But at least I didn’t miss this time!
Not to mention some twists and turns before the war, in the early morning of the next day, at the fourth watch, Zhao Jiu, who had almost been unable to sleep all night, was woken up by Zhao Guanjia. Under the personal protection of Captain Zhang, he boarded the platform with a group of important officials.
The East Gate Tower of Caicheng.
At this time, several tables of banquets were already placed on the gatehouse.
"Have the sergeants had enough to eat?" Zhao Guanjia, who put on a new round-collared red robe and a stiff-winged turban, glanced at the dense crowd of armored sergeants behind the city gate, but was not in a hurry to take his seat. Instead, he looked towards Zhang Jun
He smiled and asked, "Have you distributed all the goods I brought yesterday?"
"Please rest assured, officials!" Zhang Jun, fully armored, bowed his hands and answered with a rare seriousness. "All the rewards have been handed out, all the armors and weapons have been properly deployed, and I have just eaten in batches..."
Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly, but then pursed his lips to signal: "Where are the drinks?"
"Guan family," Zhao Ding, the magistrate of Shouzhou, finally interjected with a wry smile. "We have been defending the city for almost two months. Although there is no shortage of water, the city has actually run out of wine. This is what the Xunhan regime needs temporarily..."
"Since it is so precious, we will withdraw it for the time being." Zhao Jiu waved his hand and said loudly. "When the soldiers come back victorious, I will have time to share it with them... Before that, let me watch how you defeat the enemy!"
These words were obviously meant for the soldiers in the city. How could Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding not understand? So the two of them did not dare to neglect them at all, and immediately followed their words.
But at this moment, in the crowd of sergeants below the city who were quietly looking at the officials, someone suddenly boldly spoke boldly: "Guans! According to me, if you go out this time, you may not be able to come back and use your royal wine.
Just like Zhao Zhizhou said, after two months, the mouth has faded away from the bird... Why not give it to us first?"
The civil and military officials in the city, including censors, bachelors, and magistrates, all controlled everything. They were all embarrassed. Zhang Jun was even more furious. He stamped his feet at the city and said: "Li Laosan, today we are in front of the emperor, can't you just live with me?"
If I have no merit, why should I drink with you? And I am about to attack, so wouldn’t the reward at this time disrupt the order of the attack?”
Zhao Jiu originally wanted to give it to him, but when he heard this, he saw that the east was gradually turning white, and countless soldiers under the city were taking advantage of the morning light to look at him. He also smiled slightly, said no more, and led the way.
Wenwu sat down calmly.
The ruffian in the army below the city seemed to know the truth and just muttered a few words without saying much.
After a moment, as Zhao Guan's family sat motionless, first the dragon banner was hung up, and then a group of cannons were fired in Xia Cai City as a signal.
Next, the suspension bridge outside the east gate, north gate, and west gate of Xiacaicheng was lowered together. Even at the water gate in the south, there was already a pontoon bridge connecting the river embankment outside the gate... Connected with the small boats that rushed ashore in the Huaihe River, more than ten thousand Song Army soldiers were divided into several groups.
He rushed towards the already slightly panicked Jin Army camp.
At this point, the sun was shining brightly in the east, and the battlefield in the Huaibei Plain, which had been silent for nearly two months, suddenly became agitated.
But for some reason, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting motionless under the dragon banner facing the sunrise, suddenly felt that his heart, which had been restless for half a year, calmed down.
In a daze, a battle has already begun ahead.
ps: I wish you all a formal New Year greeting! I wish you all good health in the new year and that everyone can make a fortune! Xiaojiu kowtows (for real)!
I thought I could do it, but in fact I’m still busy on New Year’s Eve... I’m sorry for the phone number.
