The struggle of the reborn prince

Zhao Li was inconspicuous among the emperor's hidden officials at first. He even stayed in Xiangyi during the Western Expedition and missed many battles. Although he returned to the army, he was mainly engaged in behind-the-scenes work such as staff and training recruits by the emperor's side. He really led the way. Bing Zhan was still fighting with Gao Chong to conquer the west, so he was not well-known and not familiar to the outside world.Until the Northern Expedition, Zhao Li was appointed by the emperor as the commander in chief and stepped onto the stage.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the Jurchens are very familiar with Zhao Yong, even Zhao Sha and others, but they are very unfamiliar with Zhao Li.Wanyan Gouying fought Zhao Li a few tricks through the Battle of Zhaozhou, but was tricked by Zhao Li, and even lost troops and generals, knowing that this is a difficult opponent.But deputy commander Tang Kuobian didn't feel anything, instead he was a little excited, hoping to exchange Zhao Li's head for his own glory and wealth.

Tang Kuo argued that this person had some abilities, otherwise he would not have been considered by Wan Yanquan to have recruited his son-in-law. He has been an idle official in the court for so many years, and he has no experience in leading troops, let alone seeing battle formations.Until a few days ago, in order to appease the emperor's irritable and furious heart, Wu Shu promoted him to the position of counselor and governor of Huining.This official is not small. He can not only participate in discussions and formulate major national policies, but also take on the heavy responsibility of governing the capital. He is also in charge of the military affairs of the Shangjing Road. superior.With such a high-status deputy commander, Wanyan Kuoying naturally has a special taste, and she has to be careful everywhere, and discuss everything with her before making a decision. Of course, it is often the deputy commander who said things That's it.Because the two came with their own troops, Tang Kuobian had a large number of people, and he didn't want to suffer from the bad luck of Wanyan Kuoying.Therefore, even though they joined forces, they each led their own soldiers and horses.

Faced with the constant harassment of the Song army's rangers.Wanyan Guoying was guarding the position and did not send troops to fight.He knew that the Song army was just trying to induce him to move his position, and there would inevitably be loopholes when he moved, so he could take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, so when he occupied a favorable terrain, it was better to move than to stay still.However, the infantry, which was attacked by the Song Army cavalry head-on, could not ignore it. Tang Kuobian ordered the infantry to use the crowd tactics to deal with the Song Army's rangers, trapping them in the formation and fighting hand-to-hand for several rounds, and finally repelled the frontal attack. The Song army attacked several times.

Two armies face off.People shouting horses neighing, guns flying and knives flying, feathers and arrows flying like shuttles, such a spectacular battle scene made Tang Kuobian's mind agitated, how could he miss such a good opportunity to watch, he led his own soldiers to supervise the battle on a hill.But you just look at it, but he likes to show off, not only wearing the golden helmet and armor bestowed by the emperor, but also putting a handsome flag on the top of the mountain.I'm afraid the soldiers didn't know that he came to the battle in person and was with them.Zhao Li, who was also in the formation, soon spotted the golden light on the top of the mountain, immediately realized that it was a big fish, and quickly dispatched another elite cavalry.Followed a small stream from the west side and went up to Tang Kuobian's formation, then suddenly launched a surprise attack, the purpose was very clear to capture the thief first and capture the king.At this time, Tang Kuobian never thought that Song Jun would directly attack him, and the soldiers around him were also negligent.For a while, it was impossible to resist the menacing Jingqi of the Song Army.

Seeing that Tang Kuobian was about to die before he was born, Pu Changhai, the commander of the National Defense Army, discovered the dangerous situation of the deputy commander.At the critical moment, he led the cavalry to help, and appeared beside Tang Kuobian in time.After a deadly battle, he finally repelled the attacking cavalry of the Song Army, so that Tang Kuobian did not die in the line of duty.And when the Jin army, who was in charge of defending the left wing, saw that the main general was in crisis, most of these soldiers were stationed in the hinterland of the Jin country, and they were usually not needed to go into battle. They lacked training and had no experience in battle. It is inevitable that they will have fluctuations in their thoughts, and their formation will begin to loosen, wanting to retreat and leave the battlefield.

Zhao Li is a person who is good at capturing subtle changes, and the changes on the battlefield cannot escape his keen eyes. Zhao Li, who had just finished tossing Tang Kuo's argument, turned his attention to the left wing again.When a Song army's dragon riding on the left wing of the Jin army was unstable, it launched a surprise attack from its side.The already terrified Jin Guo infantry was suddenly attacked, and the loose formation instantly became uncontrollable under the continuous attack of the Song army.

And Tang Kuobian also gradually calmed down from the panic. Under Wanyan Gouying's strict order, he finally mustered up the courage to supervise the battle again. However, they were still unable to repel the surprise attack of the Song cavalry.In the end, Wan Yan Yuying had no choice but to lead a large army to reinforce himself, and only then did he repel the attack of the Song army and barely stabilized his position.

In just one day, the cavalry troops of the Song Army attacked in all directions, and repeatedly harassed the Jin Army guarding Hu Kaishan.This kind of attack like ghosts and ghosts caused the Jin army to be devastated. Fortunately, the remnant troops led by Wanyan Yuying were strong in combat effectiveness, otherwise the tribal troops based on Tang Kuo's argument would have been dragged down by Zhao Li.The battle didn't end until nightfall, and the Song army retreated into Songfeng Mountain opposite Hu Kaishan.

After a day of fierce fighting, Wanyan Yuying also sensed the true strength of the Song Army through this small-scale offensive and defensive battle. He defended the small Hu Kaishan with nearly 20 troops, blocking less than [-] exhausted enemies who went deep into the hinterland. Barely resisting the opponent's fierce offensive, it can only be regarded as evenly matched at best, which is really embarrassing to say the least.

Wanyan Kuiying pondered for a while, the Song army dispatched this time were all light cavalry, and they were not accompanied by a supply team, which meant that they needed to bring their own food, grass and supplies.Normally, a light cavalry can only be self-sufficient for ten days at most, and this Song army has been fighting for nearly ten days since it came out of Yichun. This also shows that Song Jun had run out of food yesterday.If the whole army is concentrated at this time to actively attack the Song army, it will surely win.

The generals fully agreed with Wanyan Yuying's idea, but the deputy commander Tang Kuobian did not nod, saying that the Song army was cunning, if they had run out of food yesterday, how could they still have the strength to fight them all day long, so they still have What's more, they didn't just confuse someone in Zhaozhou before, which led to the missed opportunity and a big defeat.But now that they have retreated into Songfeng Mountain, and the Song army closest to them is two hundred miles away, it can be said that they are already surrounded and it is difficult to escape, so why rush to attack?

As soon as Tang Kuobian spoke, all the generals fell silent. They now all understand that in this large army, the real manipulator of the command is actually the deputy commander. Without his approval, nothing can be effectively implemented.And Wanyan Yuying knew that although she didn't name her, she also knew that she was talking about herself, but it happened to be the truth, and it was difficult to defend herself, so she could only sigh in vain and gave up her own ideas.But this also made the opportunity to save the battlefield situation slip away quietly again, but soon, Tang Kuobian will pay a heavy price for his stupid decision...

The next day, all the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin discovered that the West Route Army of the Song Army had mysteriously disappeared, and disappeared without a trace. There was no one or anything in the camp, as if they had suddenly traveled to another time and space.Next, something even weirder happened. For four consecutive days, the Jin army failed to find a soldier, a horse, a battalion, and a village of the Song army near Songfeng Mountain. No army was found on the avenue!

Strange, confused, fearful, and hesitant expressions appeared on the faces of every Jin Guo soldier.There were even some naive buddies who naively thought that the Southern Dynasties army was also naive, so naive that they were so conscious that they retreated to the south bank of the Huntong River, left Huining Mansion and joined the Song Army that attacked Huanglong Mansion.But for Tang Kuobian, who urgently needs a victory to prove his ability, it doesn't matter where the Song army fled, the 15 army is still there, and the imperial tomb is safe and sound, so the battle of Hu Kaishan should be regarded as a great victory against the Song Dynasty!

Therefore, Yilapua couldn't wait to send someone to report the victory on the battlefield to Wanyan Shouxu in Bianjing Mansion.Wan Yanquan in Huining Mansion naturally couldn't understand the real situation on the battlefield of Hu Kaishan, but it seemed completely reasonable for 15 elite troops to defeat [-] Southern Dynasties' exhausted troops.All of a sudden, the ruling and opposition parties wept with joy for the reappearance of a God of War in the Dajin Kingdom to save the Kingdom of Jin, and they regarded the captain-in-law as the savior.

In fact, Tang Kuo argued that it was fine to report the military situation with exaggerated words, and fooling the emperor would not cause any serious problems, but the fatal consequences of his stupid decisions continued to affect the Kingdom of Jin.After hearing about Hu Kaishan's great victory, the emperor Wanyan Quan was so excited that he thought that with his good son-in-law, he could stop the Song army from continuing to attack, and it would not take long for the Song army that invaded Huining Mansion to be wiped out.

The emperor gave up the idea of ​​leaving, and started to have fun again, which relieved the people below and relaxed their vigilance.Originally, Zhuzhou counties in Huining Prefecture began to mobilize the villagers to unite to protect themselves and resist the aggression of the Song Dynasty when the two routes of the Song Army were about to attack the capital. Now, the Kingdom of Jin is not at a disadvantage, at least the situation in Huining Mansion is under control, and the main force of the 20 elite troops is still there. Zhao Li should not be intimidated anyway.Everyone naturally combined work and rest, and went home to rest.

But in fact, except for Zhao Li's head showing off or insanity, he would leave without fighting when encountering such setbacks, not to mention that it was a battlefield where he voluntarily withdrew, so the Jurchen really knew how to have fun while suffering.But there are too few people in the world who can travel as fortunately as Zhao Tun, especially if tens of thousands of people travel through, I am afraid that God will not allow it, so where did Zhao Li hide...
