Chapter 72: Cold to death the group
From the manor that Li Jing selected to block the Jin army, it was only more than 30 miles to Li Gudu.
An hour of rushing.
The vanguard of the Hebei West Route Army and the Zong Ze army, who had been together in a hurry, arrived outside Li Gudu.
From a distance, I saw the bright lights of the ferry market.
Zong Ze, who was a little tired from marching overnight, still stopped Guan Sheng, who wanted to be a vanguard for the entire army.
"My nephew, if you have any strategy, just come!"
Zhao Bushi, Guan Sheng and Cizhou officials were used to fighting all the way, and they all looked at Li Jing with a smile, which made Fan Na look at Li Jing high. He had already found out the origins of the main generals in Zong Ze's army.
The man in front of him is not only Li Yian's nephew, but also the sworn brother of Zhong Yanhong and Yue Fei.
The year is less than eighteen.
He was so respected by the aging Zong Ze.
"It should be an empty city. The Golden Dog Riding Side has already discovered that our army is starting, and my second brother is also doing his best to hunt the Riding Side. Wanyan Zongwang probably guessed that we would attack at night, so he always had to do something! Or, send a few riding Sides to see?"
"Nephew Zong, is your subordinate willing to accept the order?"
Zong Ze agreed without thinking. Although bonfires were lit inside and outside the Li Gudu market in the distance, there were also many golden dog camps outside the market.
But he also felt that it was too quiet.
"The humble general is willing to go to the camp in person!"
"Be careful, your nephew should be on guard on the periphery and send soldiers inside!"
"The humble general takes the order!"
"Don't hurry in and check out the secret whistle left by Jindo. It's best not to let Jindo notice within one or two hours that we know that it's an empty village!"
Zhong Yanhong, who had just bowed and received the order, heard what Li Jing said, nodded to him, and summoned the generals to go.
Li Jing likes this second brother the most, even if he doesn't understand the orders, he will still execute them.
Just as he was a little confused about Daming Mansion digging the Yellow River, despite his doubts, he still went there.
If it were Yue Fei, Li Jing wouldn't be sure whether he would go there.
"Li Jing, where do you think my troops should set up camp?"
"Just under your feet!"
This area is full of plains and has no advantage in geographical location. The only thing that can be done is to dig trenches and trap hoof pits.
"Zhao Bushi, immediately lead your troops to dig trenches. Lord Guan sent one to collect your pit digging tools and provide them to Lord Zhao!"
"Here!"
"Li Jing, you sent Chen Renjun's troops to guide and assist Lord Zhao in camp!"
"Here!"
"Deputy General Zong, General Bei is willing to assist Lord Zhao in commanding the soldiers to camp. Please allow General Bei to make meritorious contributions after he was guilty!"
Guan Sheng led troops from Jinan Prefecture, five hundred miles away, to help Zong Ze. He followed Zong Zeyan's advice and his troops took the initiative to request him as the vanguard of night attacks, which greatly touched Fanner.
Before leaving, he listened to half of Li Erlang's words that encouraged the defeated soldiers of the Hebei West Route Army.
In addition, Zhao Bushi went to Junzhou to lead troops to join him, and listened to a lot of judgments on the situation in Bianjing in fragments.
It was very touched.
The Jin army ravaged Hebei by officials and generals from all over the world. No one could tolerate the fall of Bianjing.
At present, the two emperors in Bianjing City are busy fighting.
If the Lord and the Sect do something to turn against each other, it is not impossible for Bianjing to fall.
"Erlang, if you find out that Li Gudu market is an empty camp, how will you arrange it next?"
Guan Sheng's question to Li Jing was completely inquired into Zong Ze's heart.
Zong Ze, who was originally going to accept Fanner's request, also swallowed the words back.
Fanner looked at Li Jing in confusion, and he also wanted to know how Zong Ze would do the next step of the plan.
"Then let's build our defense first, and Fo Xiao sends people to attack."
"So late?"
"This ghost weather is whispering northwest. The golden dog is afraid of fire exposure. It must be hidden in the dark nearby and to death by these dogs!"
It is indeed very cold tonight, and the banks of the Yellow River are heavily humid. The wind blows so cold that it makes people jump.
If the Jin army carried armor and weapons, they would be surrounded by cats overnight, which would be enough for them to drink a pot.
After listening to Li Jing's plan, whether it was Zong Ze or Guan Sheng, he smiled brightly. Even Fanner, who was defeated in the afternoon, felt that he was not so unhappy.
It seems that it is good to hand over the Hebei West Route Army to Zong Ze.
If I defeated this, I might not be blamed by the government.
"I will let my brothers unarm them, start digging holes, and do their work, warm up!"
"Yes, I will put the torch on with great fanfare, spread the fire to keep warm. Most people are alert, half of them are digging holes. You are responsible for digging the outer hoof pits. Watching the time, after an hour, regardless of whether the golden dog appears or not, immediately wear armor and then go to the fire!"
Zong Ze has already decided that the Jinan Xiang Army is the main force of this night attack.
Li Jing asked them to do some work to speed up the construction of a camp surrounded by trenches and horse pits.
Guan Sheng is very happy.
"Oh my god, if the golden dog is sure, we will attack at night. We will dig a pit for me, Song Jun. Erlang let them see what is the ancestor of digging pits!"
Zong Ze informed all the generals who came to laughed when he heard Guan Sheng's words.
He also knew that Li Erlang was very skilled and brave, and he bet that Wanyan Zongwang would definitely not dare to let most of the Jin soldiers lurk in the dark overnight. He also bet that Wanyan Zongwang would have the patience for an hour and wait for them to attack Li Gudu Market.
Zong Ze was very satisfied with the discussion between Li Jing and Guan Sheng and others, so he simply asked the Cizhou rebel army to help him raise the military tent.
The fire also rose.
He wanted to cook some wine and broth to reward the soldiers who dug the camp trenches overnight.
Guan Sheng took the order to dig the trapped horse pit and set up a fire.
Li Jing did not stay by Zong Ze either. He went out to stare at the Peng Chong army, Yue Fei army to whom Zhao Bushi belonged, and the Hebei West Route Army who had just arrived from Junzhou decided on the location of the trench excavation, the specific depth and width.
Everyone performs their duties and starts to be busy in an orderly manner.
No one knows how much time Wanyan Zongwang will give them.
Seeing the soldiers busy, they all remembered what Li Jing said, "The golden dog and cat drink the northwest wind in the dark."
The smiles are all revealed on the face.
After working for an entire hour, two groups of soldiers who were digging the pit were called by Guan Sheng, leaving a quarter of them without the ability to form a formation to continue digging the pit.
The rest were wearing armor, next to the fire, and tents were raised behind the trenches.
At this time, Zhong Yanhong was in the process of investigation.
He would rather wander around for two hours and make a long distance judgment than be noticed by Jin Gou rashly. With Li Jing's advice, he was very patient.
He waited patiently for some lurking wardrobes to appear, and after appearing, he recorded their hiding locations. Then he personally assigned several martial arts captains to touch the whistle with daggers, and continued to observe every move by himself.
However, as far as he judged, Jingou left an empty camp in Li Gudu.
He had sent someone to touch him back and report to Zong Ze. Just in case, he was going to send two people to the market and Jingou camp to take a look.
See if the Golden Dog is in ambush again in the market.
