"Fourth Prince, the last general, Ali, did not follow my order from Meng'an to come and reply, but asked me to ask the Fourth Prince three questions first!"
As the envoy sent by Jin Wushu hurriedly turned back, a centurion and deputy general under Puluhun also came under the general platform. I saw this man with a big horse on his crotch, wearing iron armor and carrying a heavy load.
Wearing a big bow and a cowhide armor on his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed. This outfit was in sharp contrast to Jin Wushu's outfit that looked like he was getting out of bed. However, since this person arrived, he handed him over before dismounting.
They called each other, and their voices sounded loud and clear. "I wonder if the fourth prince would like to listen?"
"Let me listen!" Wanyan Wushu stood up on the platform and raised his chin to signal slightly, but his anger seemed not to go away.
"First thing, does the fourth prince want to win?" the deputy general asked seriously.
In response, Wanyan Wushu just snorted coldly.
"The second question is, since we want to win, do we need to attack?" the deputy general continued to ask. "Since we want to attack, which one is better, the cavalry or the infantry? And the current situation is that we are hastily blocked in the stronghold and lost.
If we have the first opportunity, how can the cavalry army attack them?"
At this moment, Wu Shu suddenly turned from anger to laughter.
"The third thing, Meng An said, next he wanted the sergeants to use some dry food, and then sat back and watched the Song army fill in the eastern trench for us, knock down the inner low wall and the last layer of the gate, and I don't know what happened.
Will the fourth prince continue to send people to ask?" When Ali saw Jin Wushu smile knowingly, he said the third sentence and hurried back without waiting for a reply.
Jin Wushu's brows were filled with joy, and he turned around again, raised his chin to Shi Wenbin and asked: "What, we Jurchens are just like what I just said? You tell me the truth, don't you Han people say this?"
At that time, has there ever been a heroic figure like Pulhun since ancient times?"
Shi Wenbin was also shocked at first, but after hearing these words, he obviously hesitated to speak.
"Really?" Jin Wushu was not angry, but sat down again and continued eating.
"Indeed, there is, but he is just a Chinese Khitan general. It doesn't matter if he is a Han." Shi Wenbin tried his best to smile. "But it is also a story from the Tang Dynasty. When General Alibu opened his mouth just now, the student thought
Already..."
"It doesn't matter whether it's the Khitan or the Tang Dynasty, that's what it says."
"The situation at this time is quite similar to when Li Guangbi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, was besieged by the rebels during the Anshi Rebellion..." Shi Wenbin said slowly. "We are outnumbered, trapped in the camp from all sides, and the commander-in-chief is sitting upright.
When Li Guangbi asked this person, he said that he would let the enemy fill up the trench and push it to the fence, just in time to lead the troops to attack!"
"Is it done?" Jin Wushu was slightly curious.
"It's done!" Shi Wenbin didn't dare to delay and replied immediately. "But it's very dangerous. Because once this happens, the outcome of the battle will depend on whether the general can stand out in one breath, that is, the victory or defeat is tied on the line, so
In that battle, even Li Guangbi hesitated again and again, and sent people to inquire many times. But in the end, Li Guangbi still believed in the general, and finally it became..."
"That's alright, if you Han people can do it, we Jurchens will definitely do it!" Jin Wushu replied proudly. "And I'm definitely not as stingy as that surnamed Li... Just look at it, today I am definitely not as stingy as that one."
I won’t send anyone to ask Puluhun again!”
"The Fourth Prince is extremely heroic." Shi Wenbin was cautious. "But the Fourth Prince, since General Puluhun intends to open the door to meet the enemy, there is no possibility of a melee being involved in the camp at that time. Why don't you complete your armor first, find your mounts, and then come and have dinner?"
, also just in case?”
"What kind of armor are you wearing to guard against any eventuality? Even if there is a real possibility, how can Dongzhai not be able to resist it? How can the Song army attack here? Come here, pour me some wine!" Jin Wushu dismissed it.
.
Shi Wenbin had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly and continue to serve the other party drinking.
In other words, Jin Wushu is so rampant. Part of it is a real arrogant temperament developed over the years, and part of it is a pretense to calm people's hearts. Not to mention Shi Wenbin, even the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom cannot explain clearly.
But in any case, an obvious fact is that the war suddenly broke out, and most of the Jin army were woken up from their beds. They rushed to fight without even having time to eat, and they were surrounded by enemies on all sides. At this time, as the coach, Jin Wu
His skills were simply incapable of commanding him as calmly as an arm... In fact, at this moment, he could only rely on his officers and the core camp to fight independently.
Of course, it is true that the Jin people's army, which has been victorious for a long time, is full of morale and firmly believes that victory belongs to them if they persevere and does not waver because of this.
And having said that, moving to the entire battlefield, facing a momentary stalemate, the two top commanders of the Song Army, who were personally ordered by Zhao Guanjia at the previous imperial meeting, said that everyone behind the battle should read Zhang Tongzhi's flag.
Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, who were only controlled by Han Tong before the formation, seemed not to play much role.
Once the battle broke out, Zhang Jun basically just sent out the battle supervising team and the merit-recording team, and did nothing more. He just allowed the frontline generals to fight on their own. As for Han Shizhong himself, he was obviously the actual initiator of this battle, and he was obviously there.
On the front line, he was always just riding a horse and holding a flag, leading thirty or fifty cavalry around the Jin Army camp, but no military orders were issued...until he saw this strange scene in the east, and then finally sent out
He saw the guard cavalry carrying the order flag on his back, but came towards the head of Xiacai City.
"My family, Commander Han, requested an order from the city to increase the troops to the east. Listen to his order!" The knight galloped directly into the city, dismounted, then quickly came to the top of the city with the command flag, knelt down on one knee, and shouted with all his strength.
call out.
"Absurd!" Zhang Jun became furious after thinking for a moment. If the officials hadn't been by his side, he would have cursed him with curse words. "In terms of military strength, to the east is your Han Tongzhi's confidant General Wang Heilong.
(Wang Sheng’s nickname) led three thousand soldiers to do it. He is not weak in the first place. And with all the soldiers in the army, the only two reserve elites are the Qianbeiwei army commanded by Han Tong, the Qianbeiwei army of your family, and the Qianbeiwei army of
Destroying the partial army, he is resting behind the embankment at this time... I ask you, how can he ask me, an empty-handed man, for troops to support his men when he has no troops? Is Wang Heilong such a waste? Such a waste, the first one
Pulled out the outer gate of the Jin Army?"
"The commander of my family has said it!" The knight seemed to have received the order, but he raised his head to face a group of slightly confused civil and military officials, appearing unafraid. "In the raid, no matter whether you win or lose, it will all be over a meal.
In terms of kung fu, if you can't win quickly, you can just delay it. It may seem like you have all the advantages, but it is just a waste of effort, waiting for the three armies to be exhausted and trigger the Jin army to counterattack! And since the fighter planes have appeared in the east, the rest can only be maintained.
But, we should do our best to the east..."
"After talking for a long time, have you ever made it clear why you don't need to prepare troops and horses in his hands, but instead use his troops when the war is in full swing?" Zhang Jun became more and more furious and wished he could order the execution of this pawn immediately.
"My family commander didn't say this..." After the knight finished narrating, he looked at the furious Captain Zhang and a group of high-ranking civil and military officials with pale and pale faces, and suddenly became frustrated.
Zhang Jun was so angry that he wanted to drive this man down to the city.
Well, I must take the opportunity to say one more thing here.
At this time, the Song army was basically proceeding according to the plan set by Han Shizhong that day. Under Zhao Jiu's personal pressure, the Song army gathered as many capable people as possible from various departments and deployed precious armor and ordnance. A total of 12,000 soldiers were assembled.
Yu Jiashi... This is the real combat power of the imperial army and horses on the Shouzhou battlefield, which theoretically numbered forty thousand, and in fact, including the civilians, may number as many as sixty thousand.
To be honest, Zhao Guan's family didn't know whether they should be pitiful or lucky that they could finally come up with this figure.
So these less than 13,000 soldiers were arranged in advance, roughly Qiao Zhongfu, Zhang Jing, Liu Bao, Hu Yantong, and Yang Yizhong led 4,000 soldiers to the west of the Jin Army camp, that is, from
A frontal attack was carried out in the direction of Xiacaicheng; the middle part of Tian division and some of Zhang Jun's troops who were not among the elite went around to the north to block the enemy's feint attack. In fact, they hurriedly dug trenches to encircle them.
The army suffered heavy casualties; to the west, due to the inability to deploy too many troops in the direction of the Huaihe River, Wang De's tribe and Fu Qing's tribe, who took the initiative to fight, combined hundreds of soldiers to fight with 2,000 soldiers; to the east, Han Shizhong's general Wang Sheng led the Chinese army.
Three thousand soldiers participated in the siege...
As for the only reserve team, it is the two thousand elite troops under Han Shizhong's control. One is his back Wei army, and the other is his side-destroying army. The former is actually a cavalry, but it only has 700 or 800 people. It has just been removed from the army recently.
They arrived from the south bank of the Huaihe River; the latter numbered more than a thousand, and they were the most powerful crossbowmen of the Song Army.
Therefore, what Zhang Jun said actually makes sense. The civil and military officials in the city who knew the general military situation also nodded in approval, or they understood Zhang Taiwei's anger.
But at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up from behind, which made Zhang Boying frightened for a moment: "I, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun, would like to ask the officials to issue an edict to express the words of General Han... I just saw with my own eyes the flag of General Han."
We have just circled the Jin Camp. He must know the inside story better than those in the city in front of the formation! At this time, there is no doubt in the employment!"
ps: And...
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will continue to wish you all a happy New Year! By the way, the book should be on the shelves on the 1st of next month, so let me send you a letter first.
