Chapter 79 Hustle and bustle(2/3)
, these people are more numerous than the Song army who rescued Taiyuan?
Is it because there are many livestock and cavalry on the opposite side?
That’s not right. In the battle of Guarding Dagang, the Khitan cavalry and livestock were as numerous as the sea.
However, Wu Shu and Tu Hesu just felt fear... because they knew that the dense crowds and military strength in front of them were probably the biggest enemy of the Jurchen army in their lives!
The Khitan people were incompetent, and so were the Liao troops guarding the Dagang. But who dares to say that Yelu Dashi and his followers, who continued to fight after so many years of the Liao's fall, and were getting stronger with each war, were incompetent?
If you're incompetent, it's been almost half a month, why haven't you seen the Dajin West Route Army, which has superior strength, drive the opponent out of the back trap?
The Han people were incompetent, and the Song army under Tokyo City, on the Hebei Plain, and outside Taiyuan City was incompetent. But who dares to say that the main force of the Song Army's imperial camp, which gritted its teeth and counterattacked step by step from the Huaihe River, was incompetent?
Will the incompetent Song Army appear here?! Will it appear under the Yin Mountain?!
This is Yinshan Mountain!
It's the Mongol people. For several years, Dajinzhen has been obsessed with Hebulehan.
Of course, the more important point is that the other party has experienced the scourge of war and has become stronger and stronger. At the same time, the Jurchens have become more and more degenerate, and their combat power is becoming less and less than before. It is also a fact.
But no matter what the reason is, this is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Jurchens have felt fear from the perspective of military strength... Even if it is the Battle of Yaoshan, they will not be afraid if it is fought again.
Only people in the Song Dynasty dared to call out luck, but this time, the Jurchens finally began to be afraid!
This also means that the sum of these armies in front of us, the sum of these forces gathered together, finally overwhelmed the Jurchens for the first time.
In fact, when he thought of this, Wanyan Wushu had already realized why the Song Army came here... They wanted to gather a force that could overwhelm the goddess' power head-on!
Facing the Jurchens who have been rampant in the world for twenty years, facing the Kingdom of Jin, which still controls 200,000 households, the Han people were almost destroyed, and the Khitans, who had already been virtually destroyed once, have just risen.
The Mongol people, the three coalition forces appeared here, and then merged together, which in itself was a huge victory that was beyond words, both military and political!
"King Wei!"
Just as Wanyan Wushu was shaking in his mind, Tu Hesu suddenly pointed his finger at a group of Song troops pouring out of the branch by the river. The Song troops had bright armor and neat arrays. They obviously had special status, otherwise they would never be there.
He kept wearing armor during the march.
And in the middle of this Song army, they were escorting a particularly conspicuous flag.
The shape of the flag was huge, and the pattern of the three tails fluttering in the wind was also extremely weird. With just one finger, Wu Shu immediately realized what it was... except for some reason, there were two black and white flags on both sides of the flag.
The large banner inevitably adds a little extra momentum.
"Fourth Prince, let's go!" Ada carefully pulled Wanyan Wushu's skirt armor from under the horse. "There are so many enemy troops. If they are discovered, they will be entangled by the Mongols' light cavalry, and then followed by the Song people's heavy troops."
Go up, we are really in danger..."
"You can't leave!" Wu Shu came back to his senses, but his breathing became rapid. "It's more difficult to leave at this time..."
"Fourth Prince!" Tu Hesu also breathed heavily, but he immediately reached out and held down the riding crop in the opponent's hand. "I know what you mean. It's even more difficult to show weakness at this time, but now that we have such a small number of people, we can't touch each other."
If you go up there, you will die in vain! Even if there are 20,000 ambushes behind you, you have to be careful... What we are most afraid of is not us, but the 20,000 ambushes who mistakenly think we have succeeded and bump into us!"
"You can't leave then!" Wu Shu turned around, his face frighteningly pale. "You go tell Ba Li to withdraw his troops immediately, and I'll go meet the Song people!"
"Fourth Prince!" Tu Hesu suddenly became furious. "This is not the time for competition. The other Wanhu households are right. You are fair in dealing with things. You are a good prince and a good king, but you care too much about the Zhao Song family! From then on!
I have been grudged since I came to Huaishang...but what is the use of such competition?!"
"Fourth Prince!" Ah Er was almost crying at the side. "The Song people have discovered us. It must be the Mongol people from the Kelie tribe who told the Song army... Let's go quickly!"
"Even if we don't say anything, even if such a big flag has been set up here for half a quarter of an hour, the Song Dynasty people will divide their troops and come to investigate!" Tu Hesu became more and more angry. "Fourth Prince, please leave quickly!"
Wu Shu looked at the several groups of light cavalry that were coming from a distance and could not tell whether they were Song people, Mongol people or Khitan people. When he looked at Tu Hesu again, he gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Fourth Prince!"
When Tu Hesu saw this, instead of being angry, he sighed and softened his tone slightly. "I really understand the Fourth Prince's intentions, but let's go now and let Ah Da and Ah Er deal with the enemy without losing anything."
Just improve morale... If it weren't for my lame leg, I would definitely stay and deal with the enemy personally... But it's no better than it used to be. Me too, so are you, and so is the overall situation."
Wu Shu sneered, not sure whether it was disdain or self-deprecation.
But no matter what, Tu Hesu, who had always been vulgar, was not angry this time. Instead, he just continued to respond sincerely: "Actually, I feel the same way as the fourth prince. In the past two years, I have often hated Yaoshan for not being able to be on the battlefield. I have often thought about what would happen if
If I lead two or three thousand more soldiers and horses on the battlefield, can I pull out the dragon in one fell swoop? Then all of Kansai will fall into our hands, and we are currently besieging Tokyo?"
Wu Shu looked at the coalition formation in the distance and finally felt a little moved.
"But how can anything in the world be taken for granted?"
Tu Hesu took Wu Shu's hand and continued to speak harshly. "If a living girl can't swallow that breath, will it be useful or harmful to Daikin? If you, the fourth prince, can't swallow this breath today and die here, what will it do to Daikin?"
Is it useful or harmful? Fourth Prince, as someone who knows the military, you should know that terrain like the Hetao is a dead end for cavalry... You can see this from the performance of the Mongols before. We have the advantage, but they are frustrated.
, it turns out that it is difficult to leave, and now a large group of infantry of the Song Army has arrived, and they are the ones who have the upper hand! If I were the commander of the Song Army, after knowing the inside story of our troops, I would definitely have the army properly arranged, with the infantry in the middle.
The cavalry is on the left and right, pressing majestically from west to east... At that time, what should we do?"
Wu Shu was neither angry nor happy when he heard this, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there was a hint of pleading in his eyes when he looked at Tu Hesu.
Seeing this, Tu Hesu softened his tone completely: "Anyway, speaking of the fourth prince, what we have to do now is to leave quickly. When we see Ba Lisu, we will quickly ask him to turn around and retreat, and then return to the camp.
We must quickly break camp and retreat from this place surrounded by water before making plans! Fourth Prince, now is not the time to fight with all your might! You shouldn’t waste your time fighting!”
Wu Shu stared at Tu Hesu, and Tu Hesu stared at Wu Shu. The two stared at each other for a moment, but as the cavalry in the distance got closer, Wu Shu finally looked up to the sky and sighed.
In fact, how could the fourth prince not understand this truth? But it was because he understood that he did not want to retreat, because withdrawing from this land surrounded by water would really be equivalent to a complete withdrawal of troops, which also meant that he was being
After the owner of the dragon banner opposite took control, he was restrained and passive in everything for several months, almost as if he was being manipulated by the other party.
That is, he thought of strategic contraction from the beginning, giving up both ends, and retreating to the traditional Hebei and Hedong areas. But what is the difference between retreating on his own and being driven back or forced back?
But what can be said?
Isn't Tuhesu right?
In a sense, the matter is unsolvable, just like under Mount Yao, when he saw the large banner coming down from the mountain, he had no choice but to do anything about it. The appearance of the large banner this time has already made strategic progress.
suppressed him.
The first is to attack the enemy with troops, then the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the army.
What the Zhao Song officials did this time was more like attacking and scheming, and since Wanyan Wushu chose a conservative strategy from the beginning, he didn't think about it at this level. Of course, if he had Wanyan Lou's room,
He has the ability and courage to fight enemies with enemies, but the problem is that he doesn't have them.
After thinking this, Wu Shu glanced at the red tide again, then turned around and rode away.
Tu Hesu followed up immediately, but Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other, but got on their horses instead. Ah Er then went to the side of the hillside to hide for a while, while Ah Da pulled up the five-color sun-holding flag and stood it on the hillside.
Do not move.
Moreover, Zhao Jiu will certainly not do anything because of the small-scale battle ahead, and even the specific results of this battle may not be delivered to him.
After arriving here today, the Song army, which had originally contacted the Khitan and Mongol people as reinforcements, did not stop for a moment, but immediately set off to join the three camps to join the friendly troops. Then the official turned to the Wu with the army.
On the south side of Lahai City... there is the camp that Yue Fei selected on the way yesterday. The Song Army has already agreed in a letter with two Mongol camps to set up a stronghold between the two Mongol camps.
Join forces with them and fight against the enemy together.
Of course, he must have appeared directly at the rear without waiting for a reply, and then directly operated. And now it is obvious that he has the intention to control these two combat forces and further ensure the right to speak when facing the main force of the Khitan.
Not to mention that, for some reason, when they were halfway through, Zhao Guan's dragon robe and the black and white oxen who were accompanying them stopped. The original plan to turn around and meet the three allies at the Kelie tribe camp also changed.
Changes - now, the officials will meet with the heads of the three families in this wilderness, surrounded by their own army.
This seems a bit exaggerated.
But the generals who accompanied the march would certainly not raise any questions. On the contrary, after receiving the oral instructions, the generals were excited and went off to invite the three men.
Suddenly Zahu Si directly responded, but he did not dare to respond because his camp was very close to the Yellow River and was exposed in the wilderness. As soon as he came up, the cavalry from the front of the Song Army rushed to the camp. In this case, he had to
To maintain the identity of the 'right army'.
Hebul Khan's performance is very interesting. When the Song army first appeared, he led his troops directly out of the camp to avoid the situation. He had the intention of running away when the situation was not good.
But seeing that the Song army remained friendly enough, they even provided him with some food and gave some gifts. Moreover, the leader of the Qiyan tribe and the recommended Khan of the eastern Mongol tribe probably knew that he was in this kind of situation.
It is impossible to escape easily in a place surrounded by water and with complicated military conditions. Moreover, the man who grabbed Wu Qiqi’s beard is also courageous, so after thinking about it for a while, he actually agreed directly and then left alone.
Come.
However, Yelu Dashi, who was the closest, did not leave the city immediately. He only sent Yelu Yujian and Zhao Heda to visit the Zhao Song officials.
Then the two of them were stopped by the Song Army more than a hundred steps away from Long Hu.
Then, more than a thousand Song Army cavalrymen did not wait for the two men to return to report the news. Under the leadership of Quduan, the imperial cavalry commander, they went straight to the foot of Wu Lahai City, and then circled the city, shouting the name of Yelu Dashi... Of course, it was
Called Dashi Linya, it seems that he still maintains a certain degree of respect.
"I'll go for you!"
On the city wall, hearing the noise of "The official invites Dashi Linya for a while", Xiao Weoli whispered to his king.
"No need."
Yelu Dashi, who had been lying on the battlements and looking down at the Song army formation for a full noon and an afternoon, suddenly laughed and stood up. "After all, he is the serious emperor of Zhao Song and the strongest soldier here. I should have been the one to leave the city.
Paying homage... In fact, if we couldn't trust him, we wouldn't have easily crossed over to trick him after knowing that Xingling Land had changed hands... At that time, we had given our lives to others, let alone now? At this time.
They are also the reinforcements we invited according to the scriptures, and they are the ones who saved our lives this time!"
To be continued...
