The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Guerrilla Skills

In fact, Zhao Li's situation is also quite bad. He originally wanted to mobilize the Jin army stationed around Huining City to gradually eliminate it, but he did not expect to mobilize his enemy Wanyan Yuying. When Hu Kaishan and Jin Guojin came together,

After the head-on conflict between the 100,000-strong army, he realized very clearly that his 40,000-horse army could not quickly defeat the Jin Army in a head-on contest or harassment from behind, without the support of heavy firepower. The only way to defeat the Jin Army was to

Use all means.

After quietly evacuating from Songfeng Mountain, Zhao Li led his troops to take the initiative to run more than 60 miles southeast to Sujia Haidian, which is at the junction of hills and plains. According to the fact that the water overflowed from the Hu River during the flood season, it formed a large area in the depression.

There were lush trees on the meadows and surrounding hills, and they hid in the dense forests. During the day, they hunted, buried pots, and cooked rice. At night, they would quietly walk back and forth in the forest without dismounting their horses, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

Of course, Zhao Li was playing tricks in the forest, and all his mysterious actions had to be discovered by the people of Jin. Otherwise, no one would show him the trouble, and everything mysterious would no longer be mysterious. After the Jin Army's scouts circled around,

Finally, they arrived here and discovered the strange behavior of the Song Army in the dense forest. After receiving the report, Wanyan Yuying and Tang Kuobian realized that the Song Army was not far away, and hurriedly led the army forward, but they could not figure out the Song Army's intentions for a while.

They became cautious, and no one dared to attack the Song army in the forest rashly.

The two armies were in a stalemate for two days, until the Jin Army's cavalry caught several Song Army soldiers trying to escape at night, and they were quickly sent to the commander's tent. These Song soldiers were in ragged clothes and were very pitiful, and they were all killed before being tortured.

After recruiting, the doubts in the minds of the Jin soldiers were finally solved. It turned out that this strange army led by Zhao Li had run out of ammunition and food, and was almost collapsed. Even the leather armor on their bodies was cooked and eaten. The reason why they were here to make a mystery

They were waiting for the Southern Route Army to cross north to be picked up. These few people were forced to flee and find a way out because they could not bear the torture of hunger.

The situation was understood, and the generals of the Jin Kingdom, including Tang Kuobian, expressed great welcome to the Song Army's confession and surrender. Not only was there no abuse, but they were treated with good wine and good food. Because in the past ten years and the Song Dynasty,

After countless battles, the Jin army always surrendered to the Song army. It was rare for a Song army soldier to surrender, and now everyone felt bright in their faces. Therefore, it was very necessary to give them preferential treatment.

Just when Wanyan Yuying and Tang Kuobian were preparing to launch an attack to annihilate the Song army who were too hungry to pick up swords and guns, lest they cause trouble to themselves after receiving reinforcements, everyone was surprised to find out after dawn that those few soldiers

A drunken and well-fed Song Army soldier who expressed his allegiance to the Kingdom of Jin disappeared. Also missing with them was the 'big army' in the forest. Now everyone understood that they had been deceived by the cunning Song Army again.

After teasing a lot.

The two coaches, Wan Yan and Yuying, determined that Lin Zhong was just a ruse set up by the Song Army. With their high intelligence, they could of course predict the most unfavorable outcome: maybe the Song Army was already on its way to Huining, maybe

Instead, they went to destroy the imperial mausoleum, but no matter which outcome happened. Both of them understood that being fooled was secondary. The key was to find out where the Song army had gone after disappearing again, and to figure out their next step.

The latest trends, otherwise everyone will not be able to eat and walk around.

The Jin army sent out a large number of scouts to look for traces of the Song army, and finally found the Song army. They did not go to Huining, but turned to Zhendong County. Wanyan Yuying immediately understood its intention, and the high trench of Huining City

With their small strength, they knew that it would be difficult to capture them, and they were now seriously short of food and grass and could not obtain it through looting. They could only attack the relatively weak Zhendong County to obtain supplies. At the same time, occupying Zhendong County could also further isolate Beijing.

The connection with the two northern routes isolates Huining City. Therefore, preventing the Song army from occupying the east of the town and preventing it from obtaining supplies is a key step in whether this Song army can be eliminated.

Zhendong County is on the bank of the Jianchuhu River. It is the hometown of the Jurchens of the Wanyan tribe. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they often fought with the people of the Five Kingdoms in the East. Therefore, a fort was built here for defense. The name Zhendong was to deter the East.

The Five Kingdoms tribe, as well as other tribes that gave birth to virgins, meant that after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Jili charming and Wu Gai people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River often rebelled against the Jin. Beginning with Jin Taizong, they were conquered and suppressed, so

Jilimi and Wu were born in the east of Jinshangjing, so when the county was first established, it was still named Zhendong according to the old custom.

Because Zhendong County is an important place to defend against the invasion of enemies from the east, the city is deep and has a large amount of supplies stored in it. If the Song army captures it first, sufficient supplies can be obtained. The two of them moved as soon as they were told, and immediately started to move after learning about the Song army's movements.

The army followed them away. But their situation was not optimistic at this time. After seven or eight days of fighting for hundreds of miles, they were exhausted both mentally and physically. When they embarked on the journey again, there was a huge gap between the two armies.

Inevitably, there was a disconnect. Halfway through the march, the infantry that lagged behind was ambushed by the Song army, and the culprit was the elusive and cunning Zhao Li. As a result, not only did they lose most of their baggage.

, and thousands of people were killed or injured.

Next, the Song army did not act according to the ideas predicted by Wanyan Yuying and Tang Kuobian. In fact, he did not go to Zhendong County at all. Instead, he killed another carbine and hid in Songfeng Mountain to recharge his batteries and robbed them.

After delivering the baggage, the Song army did not stop. They sent out more than a dozen cavalry detachments in battalion units to harass the Jin Army's marching brigade from time to time, day and night.

Since the Jin Army lacked cavalry, it was unable to set up defenses everywhere, and Tang Kuobian did not bother to send out elite guards to waste time and energy on these small groups of Song Army cavalry. He was also unable to predict the Song Army's next move. It seemed that the retreat to the east of Zhendong was a two-step process.

The best choice for people. But his disdain and no matter it does not mean that the Song Army will stop. The Song Army will continue to give them full special care on the way.

On the one hand, the Song Army's harassment continued to plunder the Jin Army's baggage troops to replenish itself; on the other hand, it disturbed the Jin Army's military morale, making it almost impossible for the nearly 200,000 troops to maintain their marching formation, dragging for dozens of miles, as if

They marched towards the east of Zhendong like a herd. After three days of arduous and rout-like marching, Wanyan Yuying and Tang Kuobian finally took the lead in ending their nightmare and entered Zhendong City.

However, the Jin army scattered behind was not so lucky. The Song army, which had been following after dark, launched an assault. They surrounded the Jin infantry from the north and south in a strict formation. They were already exhausted and in a daze.

The Jin soldiers immediately exploded and had no way or time to form a formation. The infantry was unable to withstand the impact of the cavalry without forming a formation. In the blink of an eye, the marching brigade was rushed to pieces by the Song army and lost its organization.

The Jin soldiers fled in all directions, avoiding the Song army's encirclement and ruthless pursuit.

By the time Wanyan Yuying, who had entered the city early, led his cavalry to come to the rescue, it was already late at night. The Song army had already withdrawn from the battlefield, leaving them with dead bodies and wounded soldiers all over the ground. The nearly 100,000 troops were like scattered animals.

They all ran away without knowing where they were. In this case, Wanyan Yuying sent troops to search, and Wanyan Yuying was worried that the Song army who didn't know where they were hiding would attack the scattered cavalry again, or take advantage of the lack of troops in the city to seize the city, so he could only gather them up.

The defeated troops nearby retreated to the east of the town.

Then Wanyan Yuying ordered people to light a bonfire outside the city and ring the big bell in the city to prevent the fleeing soldiers from getting lost and find their way home by following the light of the fire and the sound of the bell. He had no sleep all night and the next morning

The separated soldiers were returning one after another. After checking, they were doing well. Half of them had returned, and the rest had taken the opportunity to desert. However, Wanyan Yuying was still a little relieved. The two armies combined still had nearly 150,000 people.

He also has the ability to defeat the Song army.

Tang Kuobian's face didn't look good. He was a little frustrated when his new God of War suffered such a big setback just after he was announced. However, Zou Biao would never tell the truth. He only replaced the damage of the two armies.

The Jin army of nearly 200,000 people was actually in such a state of disarray by a lone Southern Dynasty army of less than 40,000 people. As the commander-in-chief, Wanyan Yuying was certainly to blame, so he blamed the deputy commander Tang Kuobian for his actions.

He just turned a blind eye and said nothing.

Wanyan Yuying still felt very lucky. He occupied the city first. Now that the Song army had arrived, he could arrange the deployment of defenses. He would defend the south city while Tang Kuo defended the north city, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Li. But the strange thing was that the Song army

After arriving, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but two days later they took advantage of the darkness and left again quietly. The disappearance of the Song army again made Wanyan Yuying and Tang Kuobian, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, become nervous again. Next, the reconnaissance cavalry

After reporting a false shot, the Song army headed south.

This news made the two of them even more panicked, because they had undoubtedly determined the whereabouts of the Song army: they left Zhendong and went straight to Huining City. And now most of the troops belonging to Huining Mansion are here with them.

There are only some bodyguards and tens of thousands of ethnic soldiers who have just been recruited in the city. Those people are more vulnerable than them and more difficult to resist the Song army's attack. But if Bianjing Mansion is breached, it will be completely ruined. Everyone will be defeated.

He must become the eternal sinner responsible for the destruction of the Jin Kingdom.

Without any hesitation or discussion, everyone was highly unified in their thinking. The army quickly set off from the east of the town before taking a breath, marched lightly into battle, pursued the Song army at full speed and rushed to Huining City to rescue them. The hundreds of thousands of troops did nothing but eat and sleep.

They traveled day and night, and did not even go to the village at night. They slept in their clothes from top to bottom, giving full play to the fine traditions of the past.

Marching in a hurry for three consecutive days, the Jin army walked more than a hundred miles and arrived at the north bank of Wuzhiheishui, which was less than 70 miles away from Huining City. At the same time, they also received news that the Song army had just waded across the river after dawn, and everything

It shows that the two armies are less than half a day's journey apart. Wanyan Yuying did not relax his vigilance because of this. While asking people to immediately search for Tushe's field, he first sent reconnaissance horses across the river to check the movements of the Song army to avoid being attacked halfway across the river...
