Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 641 Introducing the Wolf
"Is it really so scary this time? Isn't brother very dangerous?" Feng Wanjun stopped being angry, and waited for Qiu Yun's answer in horror.

Qiu Yun didn't know what to do, after all, he was a low-ranking general, and it was impossible for him to have access to high-level military affairs.In order not to make Feng Wanjun worry, he chose to ignore it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that's what fighting is about. Maybe the captives will still be the same as in previous years. They will bluff and plunder before leaving. There is no major trouble."

Even if he said it lightly, Feng Wanjun tearfully, disregarding Qiu Yun's gentle reassurance, murmured: "Brother must take care, the slave family is waiting for you to come back."

Qiu Yun smiled awkwardly, and said softly, "I will definitely come back alive."

The two looked at each other silently, neither of them said anything more, Qiu Yun is indeed a mighty general, he never fears in battle, especially if he kills with blood spattered on his shirt.However, since getting to know Feng Wanjun, he seems to have changed a little bit. He has become a little hesitant about the battlefield. He has no eyes for swords and guns on the battlefield. As a low-level general, he bears the brunt of the battle, and he cannot avoid it.

Feng Wanjun was worried about Qiu Yun, and secretly prayed to God to bless Qiu Yun to come back alive. After all, swords are ruthless on the battlefield, and no one can boast of safety.

"Brother, you must come back alive, I'll wait for you!" Feng Wanjun said softly like a mosquito.

"Sister, as long as I survive, I will marry you gracefully." Qiu Yun said firmly, yet tenderly.

On November [-], the eighth year of Dazhong Jianyan, the war inevitably broke out.

The Jin army divided into three groups and launched a southward offensive along the river. Wu Shu personally led 6 people to attack Jingdong, and a partial division of [-] entered Yunzhou. It was definitely the most violent offensive in the past five years.

In the face of the fierce offensive of more than 6 Jin troops, although the Xuanfu Division had made all-out preparations, the Jin army invested a very strong force at one time, especially the [-] soldiers of the Wushu Institute, most of whom were the elite Jurchen clan, and there were other soldiers from other fields. The elite of the clan.

The blow from their combined forces was quite powerful, almost unbearable.

There were frequent emergencies in the military states along the river, and the troops either retreated south or guarded the customs. An endless stream of pond newspapers continued to spread to Kaifeng through the post road.

Wang Shu angrily scolded the Speed ​​Division and the Staff Division for making mistakes. The Jin army went south six or seven days earlier, and the composition of its troops did not match the intelligence, which made him feel caught off guard.

Cursing and scolding, Wang Shu, who had confronted the Jin people for many years, knew the way of the Jurchen generals to use their troops, and immediately and correctly judged that although the Jin army went south three ways, the real goal was the east and west roads of Beijing, to achieve a breakthrough in the east wing of Kaifeng.

While asking for help from the imperial court, he ordered all the ministries to stick to the defense, trying to delay the offensive of the Jin army, so that the second-line mobile troops had time to enter the offensive position.Of course, this is also the original plan. The first line of military states along the river does not need to resist strongly, as long as they hold the key cities, everything will be dealt with by the second line of defense.

After fighting for two full days, the Jin army attacked the river mouth in many ways, and the Song army relied on the city to resist desperately. Lu Suo led his army into Qizhou and went straight to Huihe Town.

It has to be said that the Jin army prepared properly before the battle and did a good job of concealment. The Song Dynasty did not judge the main direction of the Jin army's attack.

On ten days and nights, Huihe Town and Yaoqiang Town were still in the hands of the Song Army, but this was only a superficial phenomenon. At the ferry of Huihe Town, the Song Army, wearing crimson military uniforms, formed a defensive formation, but it was not to guard against the Jin Army. , but to protect the pontoon at the ferry, to welcome the Jin army to cross the river, and to be seen by the officials of the Song Dynasty, I don't know how it will feel.

On the pontoon bridge illuminated by the fire, it was the troops of the Golden Army who were crossing the river. Horses, carts and carts crossed the river. Teams of footsteps quickly formed marches and marched forward in a mighty and endless way.

Wang Shizhong and Juli stood side by side at the ferry, and a tall Jurchen general came across.

"Wang Taiwei, this is Dajin Damingfu Road Tongjunhe Lu Suomeng'an." In the blazing fire, the inside of the jurisdiction introduced with a smile: "Tongjun, this is Wang Shizhong, Wang Taiwei .”

He Rusuo nodded, his attitude was quite arrogant, and he was even more disdainful. He is the hereditary Meng'an, which is different from ordinary Meng'an.

Meng'an is a military-civilian integration system of the Jurchens, but it has developed into an official position.Hereditary Meng'an has become a kind of lord, and only generals who have made great achievements are eligible to live this honor.

Seeing Helusuo's arrogance, Wang Shizhong directly greeted the female ancestors of his family, but with a coquettish smile on his face, he cupped his fists and said, "I've heard about Meng'an's reputation for a long time, and seeing you today, Sansheng is lucky!"

He Rusuo didn't smile at all, and didn't even nod his head. He said with a tiger face: "You southerners are so troublesome, so there is no need for red tape at this time. The military situation is very urgent. Immediately call the soldiers and horses of the headquarters for help. I, Feng Lang Commander-in-Chief, all the troops must cross the river before dawn."

He Rusuo was rude in the jurisdiction, but at the critical point, the two sides can't have conflicts. Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing one's heart, who can predict what Wang Shizhong will think in his heart when he receives a cold reception. Sorry for going south.

He rolled his eyes and said with a gentle smile: "Helu Suomeng'an is quick-tempered, Wang Taiwei still obeys orders, and I will introduce you to the Taiwei when the gentleman crosses the river. If you are thirsty!"

Wang Shizhong was originally full of anger, but he was mostly dispelled by what the governor said. After all, he was a man under the eaves, and it was a big face for him to be introduced to the Jurchen nobles. He said with a smile: "This It's not difficult, please cross the river and guard the surroundings to prevent being taken advantage of by the rangers."

The jurisdiction is deeply convinced that it has to be said that after several years of development, the Song Army has not strengthened its combat effectiveness by a little bit.Especially the horse army, in addition to the 78 generals reorganizing the Gongsheng army, the Northern Guards also formed a powerful horse army, all Tubo war horses, which are quite deterrent to the Jin army.

He pondered for a while, and said to Helu Suo: "Wang Taiwei is right, what does Meng An think?"

Seeing that Wang Shizhong was knowledgeable, He Lusuo softened his attitude a little, a smile flashed across his bearded face, and he said slowly: "This is also common sense, I will lead five hundred riders to patrol the area, and I will leave it to you here. "

Wang Shizhong had a toothache, and Baiqi patrolled, but he really didn't take the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty seriously. The Yunqi Army has [-] horses, and everyone still has horses!
The ships on the river came and went, and the convoys on the pontoon bridge continued to transport the Jin army to the south bank. Everything was in order. At five watch, the east was faintly pale, but there were still a large number of troops crossing the river.

At this time, the Jin army on the shore had reached [-] people, and Wu Shu crossed the river under the support of the guards. He encouraged Wang Shizhong, and immediately led an army of [-] horsemen led by Helu Suo to Yaoqiang Town with Wang Shizhong as his guide.
