The struggle of the reborn prince

Before dawn, Zhao Li received two battle reports: one was that the vanguard army was attacked by tens of thousands of Jin troops, and the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the lion general Jiang Wei asked for reinforcements; the other was the news from Changchun City At that time, more than ten thousand Jin troops suddenly appeared under the city, stormed the city, and there were still signs of increasing troops, the defender asked for help.

"Marshal, stop hesitating and order the dispatch of troops!" Seeing that Zhao Li was silent, Zheng Ping said anxiously.

"Then who do you think we are going to save?" Zhao Li looked up at him and asked.

"Of course, save the lion generals first. They may not be able to last long when they face tens of thousands of elite gold troops alone," Zheng Ping said.

"No, Changchun should be rescued first. Nearly a million stones of grain and a large amount of luggage are hoarded there. Once the city falls, our [-] troops will face the risk of running out of food and guns and guns. The commander should carefully consider which is more important. " Datong Governor Zhang Pu said.

"Zhang Pu, don't you care about Jiang Wei's life? He is our old brother for decades! %No% Wrong% 3.." Hearing this, Zheng Ping was furious, and pointed to Zheng Ping's nose.

"I'm not in a hurry when Zheng Ping is besieged, but we are still responsible for hundreds of thousands of lives. Once Changchun City falls and the food and grass are destroyed, we rescue Zheng Ping but let him starve to death with us under the city of Huining?"Zhang Pu shouted at Zheng Ping. "Commander, hurry up and send troops to save Changchun. There are only [-] state troops and a brigade of infantry guarding it, and Changchun city is so vast that they can't defend it. Moreover, the city has just been recovered, and most of the people in the city are descendants of Khitan and Jurchen. , if they seize the opportunity to make trouble, the city will surely fall under the cooperation of the inside and the outside." Bao Gang, the commander of the Lion Wing Army, also said anxiously.It was his soldiers who stayed behind in Changchun City. If the city fell, the entire army would be wiped out.

"The lion general is only [-] miles away from us. It can be reached in half a day. I only need one army to go to the rescue. I don't need the whole army to go." Jiang Wei said anxiously with a pale face.

"How do you know it's not a trap? Maybe Wanyan Gouying surrounded the Lion General just to lure us to the rescue, and set up an ambush on the way or in Zhaozhou to hold us there so that he can calmly capture Changchun City. With all the supplies lost, the troops had to be withdrawn, even if they were to be regrouped, it would take time." Zhang Puyan said...

There was a commotion in the handsome tent, but Zhao Li didn't say anything to stop it.These two pieces of bad news immediately made him look at Wanyan Yuying with admiration. This kid is too deep in the city and has a meticulous mind. This big military operation also presented Zhao Li with a difficult problem, causing him to fall into hesitation, unable to make a decision for a while.Zhao Li thought about it.Wanyan Guoying obviously dug a hole for himself. He put on a large army stationed on the south bank, paralyzed himself with a posture of only defending but not attacking, when he sent the vanguard to take Zhaozhou.However, he suddenly crossed the river and besieged and wiped it out.At the same time, he secretly sent an army to take Changchun, trying to destroy his own supplies.This one made him have to save himself, but if he divided his troops to rescue.He himself was unable to cross the river to attack Huining, and the crisis facing the Kingdom of Jin was resolved.

"Lou Dutong. How long will our rations and supplies for the army last?" Zhao Li, who had been silent all the time, waved his hand to stop everyone's argument, and asked Lou Gandao, the director of the transportation department.

"Marshal. The food and grass accompanying the army can supply the army for 20 days. If the amount is reduced, it can last for one month." Lou Gan thought for a moment.

"Where's the ammunition reserve?" Zhao Li asked again.

"All armies replenished their supplies and ammunition when they left. There are still 500 million bullets in reserve, more than [-] artillery shells, and [-] catties of gunpowder." Lou Gan replied.

"That is to say, the accompanying luggage can support our West Route Army's combat operations for a month." Zhao Li said.

"Marshal, if you don't do something like Liaoyang, I can guarantee to support the army for one month's supply." Lou Gan said with a wry smile, he already had a premonition of what decision Zhao Li had made.

"Okay, order the Dragon General and the Krupp army to set off immediately and go to Zhaozhou to reinforce the Lion General, and the rest of the troops will then set off to cross the river on the north bank of Yichun." Zhao Li said, "Order the right-wing desert army to turn around and rescue Changchun Prefecture. Delay."

"Marshal, don't we save Changchun City?"Zhang Pu asked in surprise.

"Changchun Prefecture is two hundred miles away from us. Even if we abandon all our luggage and return to the army, it will take two days. Since the enemy can think of attacking Changchun, he will definitely think of destroying the pontoon bridge on the Yazi River. Calculated, it will take us three days at the fastest. It can be reached. The desert army is on the south bank of the Yazi River, and all of them are cavalry troops, and the camels can march day and night without rest, much faster than us." Zhao Li said with a smile.

"Marshal, you mean to give up Changchun City..." Zhang Pu said with a sad face.

"Huh, in the battle of Pingzhou, the Krupp army defended the city alone with a brigade of soldiers and thousands of Pingzhou troops. Aguda personally led an army of [-] to attack the city for more than a month and failed to break through the city. Besides, the city of Changchun is comparable to the city of Pingzhou They are tall and strong, and the city has enough food, grass and ammunition. If they can't defend for a few days, they can only say that they will die. However, the Jin army is three points too timid to go deep alone. Since Wanyan Gouying wants to hold us back, then we will use his strategy to concentrate our forces in Zhaozhou and take Yichun." Zhao Li snorted coldly.

"Marshal, there is one in a thousand miles. If the city falls, our previous efforts will be for naught." Seeing that Zhao Li was full of confidence, Zheng Ping felt guilty instead, and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, in a month's time, the emperor will also arrive at Huining City, and he will watch us starve and suffer from the cold!" Zhao Li said with a twitch of his lips.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Zhang Pu suddenly said, now he understood why Zhao Li asked Lou Gan repeatedly.

"Hey, if we really lose our food and grass, I'm afraid His Majesty will scold us and get kicked a few times!" Zheng Ping said with a sigh.

"Our current task is to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and contain the Jin army in Huining Mansion. As for the punishment, I will bear it all. I was careless when I said it. I thought that the Jin army would not dare to fight back after being defeated. , so as to leave a loophole in the defense, so that it can take advantage of it." Zhao Li said with a dark face, the battle was fought so smoothly that he was arrogant in the past and relaxed his vigilance, which gave Wanyan Yuying room to play.He also made up his mind that Changchun would plead guilty to the emperor regardless of gain or loss...

…………

The sky has already brightened, and the battle on the banks of the mixed river is still going on. Wanyan Yuying sent a group of warriors to the point of no return, but they paid huge casualties and achieved little success. They opened the breakthrough several times and were blocked by the Song army again. On the way, not only failed to complete the planned combat goal of encircling and annihilating its vanguard, but was suppressed by the Song army on the river beach and could not move.

"Dutong, it's almost dawn, should we withdraw our troops?" Pucha's attack was repelled again, and even he was injured in several places. He looked at the sky and asked.

"No, this is the critical moment. The Song army is exhausted to the extreme, and the defense line has been breached many times. We may be able to defeat the enemy with another attack." Wanyan Yuying shook her head and said indifferently.

"Dutong, the casualties are too great. I have already lost two thousand-man teams, and the other teams have also lost [-]% of their casualties. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will lose all of them." Pu Cha said, the [-]-man team that participated in the attack now The [-]-man team has all gone ashore, taking turns to attack the Song Army's defense line, and the casualties are not small, but he, as the first [-]-man team to participate in the battle, suffered particularly heavy losses. One, it has been completely abolished. These people are all the children of their own clan, the last flesh and blood of the Dajin Kingdom.

"Pucha, are you afraid? Is it true that years of comfortable life have polished off your blood? Don't forget that you are a Jurchen, and forget the difficulties of our predecessors in starting a business. Which one of them didn't roll over in a sea of ​​corpses and blood? "Wanyan Yuying frowned and said, there seemed to be disdain in her tone.

"Dutong, Pu Cha has never forgotten that he is a Jurchen!" Pu Cha gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression.His parents were all veterans who followed Taizu to fight the country. He also went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He has experienced dozens of battles and never flinched. Today, he was laughed at by Dutong for being bloodless. This deeply hurts he.

"Okay, since that's the case, you immediately lead your troops to the right flank and go behind them to break through the Song army's defense line!" Wanyan Yuying said with a smile on her lips.

"Yes, Dutong! Pu Cha will never come back to see you until he completes the mission." Pu Cha saluted loudly, beating his chest with his fists, turned around, took the long knife handed by his own soldiers, mounted his horse and led the soldiers away.

"Alas..." Wanyan Yuying sighed softly as she watched Pu Cha go into battle again without hesitation, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to send batches of soldiers to this seemingly hopeless battlefield.

The moment the grand master decided to defend Zhaozhou, Wanyan Yuying knew that this was an extremely difficult task. It has long been proved that it is futile to stick to the city, and the field battle is also a thankless task.And the only way to prevent the Song army from continuing its northward invasion is to wipe out part of it and force it to lose its retreat. But this is easier said than done. He exhausted so many brain cells to make a plan, but this time From the beginning of the battle, it was a big gamble. The bet was that the commander of the Song Army's West Route Army would save what he was attacking, so that the head and the tail could not care about each other.

Therefore, Wanyan Yuying concentrated the main force on the south bank of the Huntong River, and sent a partial division to avoid the right wing of the Song army and scouts to detour a hundred miles to Changchun Prefecture to attack its storage place.At the same time, he plotted against the enemy's forward army, which would definitely make the Song army make a choice. If the troops were divided, they would not be able to continue to cross the river to attack Huining Mansion;In any case, this gamble is invincible, and it seems that Song Jun can only lose.But he forgot that since it is a gamble, there are variables, and the winner will not be known until the moment when the dice cup is opened...
