An, go home and pay the penalty."

The scene was so quiet for a moment that it was a bit scary. Whether it was a sudden change or a sudden change, or whether it was a change of voice that remained silent, as well as the other senior men present, they couldn't help but look at Ba Li whose face could not be seen clearly behind the bonfire.

speed.

After all, this Su Wu was a strong man. Seeing this situation, he didn't know that he had made a mistake, so he quickly responded seriously: "Could it be that before I came, all of you, Wanhu, had agreed on an explanation, and then decided to deal with it after seeing my reply? Wanhu! From

Kilometers said that I am a hereditary Muke, and I have been on the march for seven years. Speaking privately, I have been following you since the destruction of Liao Dynasty. You injured your foot in the Qiaoshan battle, and it was I who carried you down...

...After so many years of friendship, do you want to kill me for something like this?"

One more thing here, the Jin Army's fierce security system has multiple functions, including titles, military ranks, and people-friendly officers. The later Eight Banners were basically based on Aguda's invention... For example, Wanyan Loushi, he was the Marching Secretary

Dutong, Wanhu who holds the gold medal, is also a hereditary Meng'an and has his own private army Meng'an. At the same time, because the Hereditary Meng'an is in Huanglong Mansion, their father and son also enjoy the taxation, judicial, and administrative powers of Huanglong Mansion.

Of course, with Wanyan Xiyin's reforms, the role of people-friendly officials has been eliminated, but the significance of the title is still there... Before the title of king, the hereditary Men'an in the Jin Kingdom was still the most difficult status, and the hereditary conspiracy was

Ke is the second best...because it means they have a hereditary army.

As for Dajin, it built its country with an army.

But how to say it?

Times have changed.

"Du Tong!"

When Tuhesu saw what Su Wu said, he couldn't help but look at the people behind the bonfire with a praying attitude.

However, the sudden response was a burst of silence.

Tu Hesu was helpless, sighed, and had no choice but to look at his subordinates: "Come over here and kneel down in front of me!"

A good man doesn't suffer the consequences. Su Wu hurried over and knelt down across the bonfire at the place where Tu Hesu stretched out his legs. He was ready to kowtow again. However, Wanyan Tu Hesu next to him suddenly stood up again, knowing that Wan Hu's legs and feet were not good.

Su Wu did not dare to neglect, and quickly helped Tu Hesu up before kneeling down again.

However, it was too late, and just as Su Wu knelt down again, Tu Hesu, who stood up, suddenly touched the steel hammer in his waist and swung it hard at the back of the head of his long-time subordinate.

With just a wave of his hand, he didn't know that this marching warrior, Hereditary Muke, had no time to hear the wind behind his head, and threw himself directly in front of the bonfire.

Immediately, one of the personal guards stepped forward to finish off the attack, and at Tuheshu's signal, he cut off the man's head and handed it to the military judge beside him, so that they could present his head to the public.

Then the lame Wanhu didn't care that the headless body on the ground was still bleeding, and sat down cross-legged again.

After a while, the body was dragged away, but the atmosphere around the campfire was still not good.

"In this battle, we actually took advantage." Unexpectedly, the first person to express dissatisfaction was Wanyan Heyi, who had never spoken before and had nothing to do with this person.

"I can't help it." Those who were carrying an iron hook all pulled out Li Su and faced each other helplessly. "Without a war in five years, these people have long been in chaos. After doing such a thing, they don't say they have made up for it, but they just want to give up their jobs and go home.

, when I arrived at the station, I had to grab a house to live in, look for eggs under the eggs, and go to bed early... I have no idea how important this battle is! Where can I get eggs to eat after defeating me? Is there a big house to live in?"

"That's the truth." Tuhe Su, who had just personally killed his confidant Meng'an, unexpectedly stood by Ba Lisu's side.

"The Song Army isn't doing much better either." Wanyan continued to argue. "And it's equally ridiculous for them to look down on us while rushing forward to gain credit."

"Not to mention rashly striving for merit and underestimating the enemy's pride, he is enterprising after all." Ba Lisu continued to talk. "And how can it be worse than the others? This is the marching force of the Dajin Iron Cavalry and the hereditary conspiracy!

"

"You saw Yaoshan clearly on the plain that day, but you really had no idea in your mind?" Wanyan Zhehe finally became a little impatient. "Qi! It's that Qi! The Qi that shakes mountains and rivers! It has long been unified with Laodu.

went!"

"Even if you can't shake mountains and rivers, you can't do this!"

"Okay, we are having a military discussion, so what are we arguing about?" Wanyan Tuhesu couldn't help but raise his voice a little louder when he saw something was wrong. "After all, we still have 200,000 households, including 100,000 cavalry! Plus

Yanshan New Army, according to me, this battle is a big battle, and the victory or defeat is 50-50... But Dutong, you are the general who leads the army, and you should have some overall plans in mind, right? Really?

Not giving up an inch of ground?"

"You really can't fight like this." Ba Lisu regained his clarity, but used the iron hook in his hand to stir up the bonfire in front of him, causing a burst of sparks to fly. "Looking at the overall situation, the battle line is three thousand miles, and we have many cavalry.

The cavalry's tactics... The fourth prince has arrived in Zhending, I wrote a letter asking him to come to Taiyuan..."

"You mean the He army will be defeated one by one?" Tu Hesu frowned and said, "Where to break first? How to defend the other side?"

"It's up to the Fourth Prince to make a decision." Ba Lisu shook his head in response. "But to be honest, at least this is not a good place for a decisive battle... It is a pass and a mountain, a river and a ridge, and the Song Dynasty

The army's supply line is shorter than ours... If we really fight a decisive battle here, if we lose, we may end up like the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping."

"I don't know what the Battle of Changping is, but I also think this place is not a good place for a decisive battle." Tu He quickly nodded in reply. "Linfen behind him is not...although the middle is flat, there are mountains on the left and right, and the middle is too flat.

If it is too narrow, the cavalry advantage cannot be gained. It is better to lure the enemy deeper, lead them to the gate of Taiyuan City, and then use the cavalry to lock the exits on all sides and repeat the Battle of Taiyuan... What do you think?"

"That's about it." Ba Lisu said frankly. "Anyone who came from the Western Route Army and fought in Taiyuan, I guess they have this kind of mentality... We have discussed it before."

"In that case, are we going to withdraw our troops now?" Wanyan Zhehe suddenly interrupted.

"How is it possible to withdraw troops?" Ba Lisu frowned more and more, and his tone finally became fierce. "Strategy is strategy, tactics are tactics, military morale is military morale... Hezhong Prefecture is beyond our reach, but this is the first place between the two countries in many years.

How could it be possible to withdraw like this after a major battle? Don't forget what we discussed a few years ago. When the Song army captured Xixia that day, although it was dictated by the overall situation, the fourth prince repeatedly avoided the battle in the early stage, and as a result, he was unable to fight decisively in Hetao.

, leading to a great loss of morale, this is a lesson! In this current situation, whether it is necessary to lure the enemy deep into the enemy, or to divide and defeat them, it must be done with all the strength first! The energy must not be weakened first! Equivalent to

, what has happened to you these past few years?!"

Wanyan was about to speak but stopped.

Tu Hesu, however, saw this and hurriedly joked again: "Okay... Dutong must have an idea, let's talk about it!"

"What can I say? Of course they gathered the cavalry and made a surprise attack around the rear." Ba Lisu replied solemnly. "I thought about it...Although they all came on a hasty march, the main force of the Song Army was infantry, which was better than ours."

Even more tiring... Our cavalry consumes horses, especially those who arrived later today and did not participate in the battle. Their energy is still there... Therefore, don't begrudge the horses. While Li Yanxian's footing is not stable, even the scouts may not be able to make it.

Send, let’s set out with a fine cavalry now and conduct a night attack from Jiangxian County, we may not have a miraculous effect!”

Tu Hesu nodded slightly.

Wanyan Zhehe was startled for a moment, then looked at the two men again... Tuhesu's troops were the vanguard, and they were generally participating in the battle today. It didn't matter that they had just killed a Meng'an, the key was that they were very tired, and Pulling Lisu's troops

Although the army is elite and has a large number of cavalry, is this kind of army used to attack and outflank at night?

That's for decisive battles.

After thinking about this, Wanyan Zhehe thought for a while and asked seriously by the campfire: "If we are to attack, to what extent will the armor be reduced?"

"Helmets, body armor, armor skirts... masks, double brims (neck protectors), shoulder gauntlets... there is no need to bring these things that affect movement." Bazhi Su blurted out.

"And." Wanyan turned around and asked seriously. "I belong to ten thousand households, and I am alone behind the enemy lines, separated by a mountain. If the war goes against me, can I make my own decision and retreat at any time?"

I instinctively want to respond when I get out of speed.

But for some reason, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something... In the Battle of Yaoshan, Wanyan Loushi let him attack from the northeast of the Song Army's barracks. As a result, he accidentally fell into the swamp and became a living target.

, at that time, Fenghe did not dare to move without permission, but sent messengers repeatedly to ask Lou Shi. Before Lou Shi gave the order, Fenghe and his headquarters exchanged fire with the Song army in the mud, without moving at all, resulting in heavy losses.

If Lou Shi were here today, how could he be so perfunctory? How could he ask such a thing?

"Can't we withdraw?" He responded with a frown.

"How about I go?" Tuhesu interrupted helplessly upon seeing this.

"No..." Ba Lisu came to his senses and nodded immediately. "It means you are a millionaire, and I also said that this is just trying our best to fight for this first battle. If you are really in danger, what will happen?

Maybe I let you and your subordinates die before the war? Even a lunatic like Wen Dun Sizhong in Hezhong didn't give up."

Zhehe nodded, got up and got ready to go.

Seeing this, Ba Lisu quickly got up and caught up with him, but he grabbed the other person again right next to the bonfire and said sincerely: "In other words, we have been friends of life and death for decades. I really shouldn't be angry at this time... What if I am somewhere else?"

If you don’t do what you want, you can talk about the official matters before the military meeting, but you can talk about the private matters now..."

The unshaven Wanyan glanced at Ba Lisu, then at Tu Hesu, who was hurriedly getting up while touching the blood stains, and finally sighed slightly:

"You have all thought too much...How could I not know that this time it was a national war, a life and death battle between two countries? How could I not have known that those bastards were becoming more bastards day by day? How could I not have known that before and after Tieling Pass, regardless of victory or defeat,

At this time, you should use all your strength to attack? And I only know how to fight. If you have a military order, I will do my best... If you just said that you are not allowed to retreat, I will not say anything.

...It's just the capital! I just don't understand why the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom are like this? It's not about why the Song people can fight and dare to fight, but why are we Jurchens not willing to endure hardship? Why do you think so?

Are there more and more people? When Lao Dutong was here, there were no such things!"

Ba Lisu was unable to answer the other party, or in other words, although he knew the answer, he was unwilling to answer the other party. Moreover, the other party stated that he would abide by military orders, but suddenly he was no longer as sincere as before.

When Wanyan saw this, he didn't say much. He quickly nodded his head to the somewhat astonished Tu He and turned around.

After a moment, it can only be said that the Jurchens' military discipline is still there. Although the folding troops complained incessantly, they quickly gathered together with Meng An Mouke, and then gathered about fifty Moukes and five thousand fine cavalry, all night long.

Heading east, prepare to go around the passage between Jiangxian County and Taihang Mountain on the east side to attack Li Yanxian at night.

After spending several years in Hedong, the generals of the Jin army were still familiar with geography. At a rough calculation, the distance of 120 miles was within the limit of a long-distance attack by war horses (two hundred miles).

If this distance is faster, it can be reached in two or three hours (four to six hours), that is, before midnight. If it is slower, for example, if you want to leave room for retreat and slow down the horse, it will be the most

It’s just that it’s thicker at midnight.

All in all, this was a raid that was within the theoretical radius of cavalry combat...and the Jurchen cavalry had definitely performed more difficult and extreme tactical maneuvers than this...but was still very dangerous and a surprise attack that tested the capabilities of the troops.

Especially now, the Jin Army seems to have lost the energy to shake mountains and rivers, but they don't know if they can survive.

But the fact is that Wanyan completed the military order to the letter. At midnight, without knowing how many people were left behind, the Jin Army general successfully arrived at the pass.
To be continued...
