In the handsome tent of Balisu, three of them sat around, their faces were solemn and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After a long time, Yelu Mawu said: "If Jingmen City is so sad, it is better for us to take a detour. Go east to take Yingzhou, take Zaoyang, and go north to take Tangzhou. After passing Tangzhou, there will be no more Song Dynasty army, so it will not be

It's hard."

Ba Lisu sighed: "What does today's incident mean? The Song army in Jingmen ahead knows the actions of our army. We can avoid them by detour? If it is really what the king of Dengzhou observes,

Unless you leave his defense zone, you can't imagine it."

Wanyan Qiying said: "There is no need to be too panic. Nearly 10,000 troops gathered together, even if we walked slowly, we would not give the Song army an opportunity to take advantage of it. I don't believe it, what can the Song army do to me!"

After a while, Balisu nodded: "This is the only way to do this. However, April is about to enter, and the weather is hot. This area is stuffy and humid, so you can't stay under Jingmen City for a long time. If the war is unfavorable,

We want not to find a way out. I will not send an army eastward tomorrow to see how it is around Fuzhou. If there are not many Song troops there and cannot capture Jingmen, go along Fuzhou to Ezhou."

After hearing this, Wanyan Qiying couldn't help but frown: "Doesn't this make the enemy's mighty and destroy our morale! Since crossing the river, we have experienced many great wars, which one is the opponent! What are the skills of a new militia leader

!”

Balisu said: "From the heart, I think you are right. But this time I have a strange feeling that the king in front of me is difficult to deal with. If you accidentally, nearly 10,000 troops were all destroyed. Alas

, It is not impossible. I am responsible for the heavy responsibility and must find a way out. Tomorrow we will join forces and not be too far away. When we arrive at Jingmen City, we will first set up a camp far away and see the situation clearly before talking about it."

Seeing Ba Lisu's firm attitude, Wanyan Yanying and Yelu Mawu had no choice but to agree.

In Wang Xiaoli's tent, Chen Yuyi and Niu Gao were sitting around the case and looking at the documents on the table.

After looking for a while, Xie Qian said, "The people who led the troops hate these documents the most. But today they are different. After reading the words on the desk, I feel much more at ease. To be honest, it seems that the Jin army is not difficult to deal with.

”

Chen Yuyi said: "Only if the defense command is appropriate and the combat generals are smart and capable, can they say this."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There is a saying in military tactics. Knowing yourself and your enemy will lead you to a hundred battles. Almost everyone who leads the army can say these eight words. But it will be difficult to do it. Especially in recent years, many generals have ignored this.

Things. Two armies fight, and the scout cavalry will be out of here. Whoever reconnaissance cavalry wins and can control the battlefield will have the upper hand. The Jin army is dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry of this dynasty is weak, so their cavalry can be unscrupulous. This time, the collision

When we arrived, we suffered a loss. Our army had nearly 5,000 cavalrymen, except for the 3,000 light cavalry in Niu Gao's army, the rest were sent to the front in small groups. One or two hundred of the reconnaissance cavalry of the Jin army had been eaten. Now

The Jin army knew nothing about the situation in Jingmen City. This is our advantage!"

Unlike other generals, Wang Xiaolie paid special attention to pre-war reconnaissance, especially the control of the battlefield by cavalry. He had five thousand cavalry, and a small half were assigned to perform reconnaissance missions. Moreover, according to the terrain, each team had its own mission area. Once it was once.

When the Jin army was discovered, they immediately contacted the nearby team to form an absolute advantage and encircled and annihilated it. The Jin army had never encountered such a thing, and Wanyan Yanying's reconnaissance cavalry was completely eliminated.

Talking about individual combat capabilities, the Song army's cavalry was weaker than the Jin army. But talking about the team's cooperation capabilities, the Song army was slightly stronger than the Jin army. In this kind of large-scale reconnaissance cavalry combat, the Song army was far superior to the Jin army.

Weak organizational ability is the specific manifestation.

The current Jin army has actually become blind and knows nothing about the arrangement of Jingmen.

Niu Gao said: "I have lived for decades and this is the first time I have seen such a war. Until today, I understand why the defense requires a new recruit battalion to train new recruits, and a special school to train officers. This battle is comparable to the beginning of the year.

It’s much easier to save Shanzhou.”

Wang Xiaoliu said: "Eight hundred miles, such a long journey is not easy to walk. Now we have the advantage of our troops and are fighting at our doorstep. It is really shameful if there is an accident in this battle!"

After hearing this, everyone started to laugh together.

Xie Qiandao: "Before defense comes, I was worried. I was afraid that it was not a match for the Golden Man. When defense comes, I was afraid that the Golden Man would run away."

Wang Xiaoli nodded. Yes, the consecutive defeats in the past few years have caused psychological shadows to many Song people. Even if they have superior military strength, geographical situation, morale, and all their strengths are superior, they still dare not say

Defeat the Jin army. The Jin army was full of confidence. No matter how strong the opponent's Song army was or how small its troops were, they still dared to take the initiative to attack.

This situation was caused by the weak military force of the Song Dynasty in the past. Only by winning battles and constantly winning battles can we reverse it.

Ten miles south of Jingmen City, the Jin army set up camp. Several generals gathered in Balisu's tent to discuss matters, and all their faces turned ashen.

Balisudao: "The scout cavalry we sent out today is still unknown. I have never encountered such a thing! The Song army lacks horses and the cavalry is not trained, so how can I be my scout cavalry opponent! This matter must be

What a strange thing!”

Wanyan Qiying said: "Even if you meet a detective cavalry of the Song army, it is impossible for none of them to escape! This fact is hard to believe. We don't know how many Song army defends and how to set up the formation in Jingmen. Could it be that

You have to go to Jingmen City to know?"

Ba Lisu gently stroked his forehead and lowered his head without saying a word. Since crossing the river in Huangzhou, although he did not chase after Empress Dowager Longyou, the Jin army's battle has been very smooth. No matter what kind of Song general it was, no matter how firm the fighting will was, no matter how many Song soldiers there were,

I have never failed. I never thought that it would be so strange when I returned to the small town of Jingmen.

Yelu Mawu said: "Is there some strange man in the Song army who can use magic tricks? Otherwise, how could this happen? King, this battle is extremely dangerous, so we should avoid it as soon as possible."

Bali Su said angrily: "We have nearly 10,000 troops, and we must avoid any monsters and monsters! There is no need to shake the morale of the army. When we arrive at Jingmen City tomorrow, everything will naturally be known! Facing the front-line, I don't believe that the Song army has so many tricks!"

Yelu Mawu shook his head. Although he disagreed with Balisu's words, he did not dare to say anything else.

Wanyan Qingying said: "We know nothing about the arrangement of the Song army and cannot move quickly. Let the whole army go slowly together. The guide said that ten miles north of the city is Jingmen City. By noon, we were not too

arrive."

"That's it!" Balisu was extremely angry and stopped talking about this matter.

On the small hillside outside the city, Zhang Chi leaned against a small hillside, holding a piece of cake to eat. His two men were lying on the top of the mountain, looking at the Jin camp in the distance.

Li Qing said: "It's only ten miles away from Jingmen, and the Jin people actually set up a camp. It seems that many of their scouts who have killed them in the past few days have scared the Jin army. Now they don't send spies out, they just huddled there.

”

Zhang Chi said: "This is my heartland of the Song Dynasty. How can the Jin people allow them to do whatever they want! You should keep a close eye on it. As long as the Jin people come out, they will not be allowed to go back! Kill a few more detectives and make some contributions."

Li Qing smiled and said, "We have killed a lot in the past few days. I wonder if there will be rewards in the army."

Zhang Chi turned his head and said seriously: "We are different from other troops. We are not fighting for rewards! We don't fight normally, and our military salary will never be missing. Not to mention that we are exempt from taxes, and our family members are taken care of. Don't you

Like those incompetent soldiers in the army, they only recognize the word "money" in their eyes! Defense often says, defend the country and be a good man!"

Seeing that Zhang Chi's expression was not good, several soldiers hurriedly put away their smiles and said yes.

This is a feature of the times. In fact, Wang Xiaoli's army will also reward according to the military achievements, the heads they obtained, etc. However, compared with other armies, Wang Xiaoli's army is not highly rewarded and relatively even.

This is related to the organizational capabilities of the army and the local government. If the organizational capabilities are not enough, the amount of cash rewards can only be increased. The soldiers who are loyal to the country should still have material rewards, and the two are not contradictory.

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, the Jin army set out early and headed north along the road.

Seeing the hills slowly appearing not far away, Wanyan Qiying said: "I often hear people say that Jingmen is at the mountain pass, and the land is like a gate. Now it seems that this is true. There are plains on the south side, and there are more mountains here."

As a vanguard, Wanyan's team was already connected with the Central Army. The Jin army gathered in a group. Not far from Jingmen City, and today no longer sent reconnaissance cavalry and headed straight towards Jingmen.

On the hillsides on both sides, Song cavalry ran past from time to time. The Jin army saw it and had no choice but to do anything.

At noon, Wanyan Qiying arrived at the Jingmen City. The city was not big, the city walls were not high, and it looked very simple. However, there were military camps on both sides of the city and the military camps on the west side, while the military camps on the east side stretched for several miles and connected with the East Mountain.

Standing in front of the formation and looking again, Wanyan Qingying couldn't think of any solution. Judging from the arrangement of the Song army, he was well prepared, and obviously he had the idea of ​​a long-term battle with the Jin army. The arrangement of the army was well arranged, and there was no flaw in it.

.

Soon, Yelu Mawu came to see the enemy together in front of the formation.

After watching for a long time, Yelu Mawu said: "Marched thousands of miles and fought hundreds of wars. Today is the most difficult thing."

Ba Lisu nodded: "Looking at the Song army camp, there are rules for the arrangement, and I have thought of all aspects. In addition, our scout cavalry has been wiped out by the Song army these days, so we are not good at it before! Make early meals tonight,

Let's take a break early. Tomorrow morning, we will see the victory and defeat in the battle with the Song army!"

All the generals called it yes.

At this point, there is no other way. The rest is a strong attack on the position. What the Jin army is best at is a strong attack on the position. What the Song army in front depends on tomorrow. Until now, no Song army can stand up
Chapter completed!
