Chapter 280: Calculation

Wang Jin led 10,000 cavalry into Jinzhong, Qiu Qiongying, a female general who had 'defeated' the king of Han, led 10,000 cavalry into Yangquan, and Pan Youlong led 10,000 cavalry to LΓΌliang. Since then, there are only 10,000 cavalry left in the Chinese army camp and 2,000 Han kings, it can be said that the rear is empty, giving Wan Yan Zonghan an opportunity to take advantage of, Liu Zhenglong does not believe that Wan Yan Zonghan is not fooled.

This is the only chance for Wanyan Zonghan to defeat himself, if this guy can't catch it, I'm afraid he won't have a chance in his life.

Yangmou, Liu Zhenglong is a master of playing Yangmou, this is to dig a good pit for Wanyan Zonghan to jump, no matter what choice this guy makes, it is difficult to get a bargain. Sun Wukong is indeed a 108,000-mile fighter, but he still can't jump out of the palm of the Buddha's hand. This time, Liu Zhenglong finished eating Yan Zonghan.

The army of the Han army camp went out one after another, and the news spread to the city of Taiyuan, which frightened the prefect Zhang Chunxiao, after all, he was a civilian official, and he knew almost nothing about the military, and he couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Han king, so he plotted to call Wang Yu and wanted to ask what was going on.

Wang Yu quickly understood what was going on, and he said to Zhang Chunxiao with a smile: "The purpose of King Han's coming to Hedong Road is not to relieve the siege of Taiyuan Mansion, but to expel or annihilate Yan Zonghan. His move is a conspiracy, no matter what choice Yan Zonghan makes, he will eventually fall into the pit, either he will be defeated and expelled, or he will be completely wiped out and will not have to go back. ”

Although Zhang Chunxiao was a civil official, he reacted quickly, and immediately understood what Wang Yu meant, and he said a little confused: "King Han is either a rare military wizard through the ages, or he is a great master." You must know that the mobility of the Jin army is very strong, and the cavalry is invincible, so it is very dangerous to divide the troops in this way. ”

"King Han is the undefeated god of war, and it is the Marshal of the Jin Kingdom who is fighting against Wan Yan Xianye, not Wan Yan Zonghan, this time he used Yang Mou to eat Yan Zonghan, no matter what choice this guy makes, he will be defeated in the end."

"So what should we do? You can't be a spectator. ”

"Of course you can't be a spectator, we want to add fuel to the fire, so I'll personally send someone to meet the King of Han to borrow grain, and see if Yan Zonghan has the courage to rob grain and grass."

Wang Yin is also a first-class general, he is learning from the Han King to dig a pit for Yan Zonghan, and now Taiyuan City is short of food, go to borrow grain, after reading how Yan Zonghan chooses, if he sends troops to rob grain and grass, he will definitely be defeated by the Han army. It's like playing monkey, such a small action to anger Yan Zonghan and force this guy not to be a shrinking turtle, and he must send troops.

As long as Yan Zonghan sends troops, then the whole game of chess will be alive, which is the core meaning of the entire battle. That's what Wang Yu thought, and he believed that King Han wanted him to do the same.

Wang Yu's younger brother Wang Tan personally led two thousand elite soldiers out of the city and went straight to the Han army camp. But there was no danger on the road, and the Jin army had no intention of sending troops.

When Wang Tan saw the King of Han, he knelt on the ground and saluted, and explained his intention.

King Han motioned for Wang Tan to get up and speak, and he said with a smile: "You have worked hard in the past few months, it can be said that Taiyuan City is not lost, you have made great contributions, and the reward of the imperial court should soon arrive in Taiyuan City." How much grain are you going to ship this time? ”

Wang Tan got up and said: "My brother got the meaning of 20,000 stones, too much is not good, after all, it is to lure the Jin army to send troops, too much, but it is a burden." ”

"20,000 is 20,000, but it's best to come up with a posture of 100,000 stones, after all, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, there are too few, and the Jin army will not be interested. Besides, Taiyuan City has been besieged for so long, and it has long been out of food, so sending more food is more in line with the truth, and it has just let Yan Zonghan take action. ”

Liu Zhenglong gambled on Yan Zonghan's troops this time, after all, this guy still has to test the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and he will send troops to rob it more or less to see what kind of reaction he will make.

20,000 stone of grain, according to the posture of 100,000 stones, and then slowly pulled towards Taiyuan City, the speed is very slow, very slow, after all, the grain is 100,000 stones, it is absolutely not fast.

The scouts of the Jin Kingdom had already discovered this situation, and they also told Yan Zonghan as soon as possible.

These days, Wanyan Zonghan is as restless as an ant on a hot pot, he knows that the cavalry of the Han army camp is constantly going out, he also knows what Liu Zhenglong wants to do, and he knows that the Han army camp is empty, but he doesn't know what he should do, whether to intercept the Han army or attack the Han army camp is a problem.

The Han army is still the dress of the Song army, and it is still called the Song army to the outside world, but Wanyan Zonghan knows that the combat effectiveness of the Han army is not known to be much stronger than that of the Great Song Forbidden Army. For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army fled after encountering the Jin army, but the Han army could carry it hard with the Jin army, and so far, the Han army has remained undefeated against the Jin army, which is definitely not a fluke, this is a manifestation of strength. At the very least, it shows that the combat effectiveness of the Han army is not below that of the Jin army, and even stronger.

Wanyan Zonghan was a little restless, he wanted to attack, but he was afraid of being ambushed, and he wanted to hold on, which was obviously a prison draw, which was obviously not a good idea.

Seeing that his cousin was restless, Wanyan Zongzhi cautiously asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Now that the Song people are stupid, they divide their troops everywhere, and there are not many troops left in the Chinese army camp, as long as our army rushes to kill, we can destroy the guy who claims to be the invincible god of war, why are you still hesitating? ”

"It's as simple as you say." Wanyan Zonghan's face was full of disdain, in fact, he really didn't look down on this cousin, if he wasn't born in a noble, where would this guy be qualified to command the army, and he wouldn't have had the fiasco last time, and if he hadn't been annihilated by tens of thousands of troops in the urn city, he wouldn't have been so passive.

In the last bloody battle in Taiyuan Wengcheng, on the surface, it was only the signing army and the vassal army that died, but in fact, the female warriors have changed from 100,000 to a little more than 60,000 now, this is the thing, but Wanyan Zonghan has no way to report it. Taiyuan Wengcheng has become a hell on earth, and countless soldiers have died tragically, which can be said to be an unprecedented defeat for the Jin army since Jin Taizu raised his army. The defeat of Qingluan Town was a fiasco of frontal hard shouldering, and it was a lack of troops, but Taiyuan City was purely stupid this time.

Taiyuan Wengcheng tragedy, in fact, as a high commander, he should be mainly responsible for Wanyan Zonghan, but he insisted that he thought Wanyan Zongzhi was stupid.

Wanyan Zonghan saw the puzzlement on Wanyan Zongyi's face, so he said: "Now we have 60,000 troops left, and the Song army has 90,000 troops, and they are all cavalry, if the Song army forcibly attacks our army's camp, it will be a defeat in the end, obviously the Song army will take risks." But once the troops are divided, it indicates that the Chinese army's big tent has the possibility of being broken through by us, such a simple truth, if Liu Zhenglong doesn't understand, he can't be the king of Han, let alone the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"However, since he knew that there was a danger of being defeated by dividing the troops, why did he divide the troops, it was his own way of thinking." Speaking of which, Wanyan Zongzhi couldn't convince himself, obviously it was a stupid strategy to divide the troops at this time, and he could understand it, did the Great Song God of War really not understand it?

"Liu Zhenglong's division of troops is a clever move, although the division of troops, but most of the troops are not very far from the Chinese army's big tent, as long as we attack the Chinese army's big tent, they will quickly return to help. If the Jin army can't defeat the big tent of the Chinese army in one fell swoop, then it will fall into a stalemate in the positional war, and the advantages of our army will not be brought into play, while the advantages of the Song army being good at defending the city will be displayed. In the end, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory, and it can only be defeated, and as for defeat, it will be the fate of being completely annihilated. ”

If it is replaced by other commanders, as long as it is a division of the Song army, then Wanyan Zonghan will not hesitate to send troops, it is obvious that the name of the person is the shadow of the tree. Liu Zhenglong, the 'jade-faced god of war', is notorious, so Wanyan Zonghan does not dare to take risks, because there is only one chance for a master to make a move, and once the attack fails, the enemy will not give him a second chance.

Both sides are cavalry, the speed of the attack is very fast, after the division of troops, the cavalry outside can quickly return to help, defeat the Chinese army's tent, the attacking side can win, but once it cannot be broken through, into a bitter battle, then the balance of victory is tilted to that side is not easy to say.

Wanyan Zongzhi looked down on the Song army in his bones, Liu Fa, a famous general known as the first general in the northwest, led an army of 50,000, and it was not easily wiped out by himself, that Liu Zhenglong's prestige was blown out by others, how could it be so powerful in fact, the seed master said, the seed master led the Western army, which was known as the most elite in the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end, the 100,000 army was not completely wiped out.

Wanyan Zongzhi saw Wanyan Zonghan's hesitation, and said: "Since, you think that their division of troops is a conspiracy, then we will ignore it, insist on attacking the city, we attack Taiyuan City, the Song army will definitely come back to help, field battle, our Jin army is invincible in the world, there is nothing to fear." ”

Attacking the city, Wanyan Zonghan didn't think about it, but the shadow of the last fiasco still hung in his heart, and he was unwilling to take risks. Obviously, the siege of the city is another vicious battle, which will give Liu Zhenglong an opportunity, which is obviously not a good idea.

If you don't attack and continue to defend the camp, you will choose a slow death, and the Song army will subdue the cities on Hedong Road one by one, and in the end the Jin army camp will become a lonely place, and it will eventually be trapped to death, which is obviously not advisable.

It seems that he still wants to attack, but attacking in that direction makes Wanyan Zonghan hesitate. If Chaoyang Spring launched an attack, the odds of victory were very high, after all, the Song army only had 10,000 cavalry. Moreover, to the east of Yangquan is Hebei Road, which has long been the territory of the Jin Army, so it is indeed a good choice. However, the biggest problem in Yangquan is that the terrain is complex, and it is easy to be flanked by the Song army in Jinzhong, Xinzhou Mansion, once the battle of Yangquan falls into a stalemate, it is easy to be surrounded, and it is obvious that the problem can not be solved if there are fewer troops and horses, but if there are more troops, it indicates that the Chinese army camp is empty and easy to be sneak attacked. Don't look at the Song army's Chinese army camp of more than 10,000 left, but don't forget that there are nearly 20,000 Song troops in Taiyuan City.

After seven sieges in Taiyuan City, there were 10,000 soldiers left, but they were quickly replenished by young and strong people, and they all participated in the siege battles, and it became the norm to maintain 20,000 troops.

Attacking Yangquan is obviously not a good choice, Yangquan is not only a complicated terrain, but also when the enemy is extremely brave, almost to the point of being a soldier, once the invasion is blocked everywhere, the casualties will be very large. Before the Jin army invaded Hedong Road, the reason why it was overwhelming was that the Song army fled in despair, and the common people did not dare to resist without a leader, but now it is different, they will definitely resist.

Wanyan Zonghan really guessed correctly, the reason why Liu Zhenglong sent Qiu Qiongying to Yangquan was mainly because the hometown of this big beauty was in Yangquan, and the Yangquan Local Bow and Arrow Society was organized, at least forty or fifty thousand people, which was related to the martial arts of the local people, and it was the only scorpion in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it was led by Qiu Qiongying, then even if the Jin army came in for thirty or forty thousand, it would not necessarily be able to bargain.

After listening to Yan Zonghan's analysis that he could not send troops to Yangquan, Wan Yan Zongzhi asked, "What if you send troops to Xinzhou Mansion?" ”

"Then we will encounter the heavy armored cavalry of the Song army, it must be a vicious battle, and the tens of thousands of cavalry in Shuozhou will quickly go south to join the battle, unless we send more than forty or fifty thousand troops, it will be difficult to bargain." Wanyan Zonghan knew that Liu Zhenglong's tactics were chained and would not give himself a chance easily, and the opportunities that could be seen on the surface were actually pits, which was beyond doubt.

"Then we will attack Jinzhong."

"I think so too, but attacking Jinzhong is not much different from attacking the camp of the Song army, they are too cunning, the two armies are too close to each other, of course, it is much better to attack Jinzhong than to attack Xinzhou Mansion and Yangquan."

Jinzhongfu is too close to Taiyuan, especially only a few dozen miles away from the Chinese army tent of the Song army, and the cavalry can be killed in half an hour, if you attack the Song army, then you can lure out more than 10,000 cavalry of the Chinese army's big tent and successfully destroy the Chinese army's big tent.

Jinzhong is the biggest loophole in the Song army, and this loophole is too obvious, which makes Wanyan Zonghan feel unsteady and become hesitant.

Yes, Jinzhong is indeed a pit dug by Liu Zhenglong, and he deliberately set up a maze array, he caught Wanyan Zonghan's hesitation, and firmly believed that this guy would not send troops to Jinzhong unless he had to.

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Liu Zhenglong is a military wizard who has not been met in a century, and he will definitely guess that we will send troops to Jinzhong, and his layout should be leakless according to reason, why did he expose such a big flaw in Jinzhong, this is obviously a trap, let's not take risks." ”

Among the four armies of the Song army, three were vetoed by Wanyan Zonghan, and only Lu Liang remained.

Lu Liang, don't talk about Yan Zonghan, even if Yan Zongzhi finishes it, he will not choose to attack Lu Liang, you must know that the west of Lu Liang is the Western Army, which indicates that the Western Army will be carried hard again, and the troops who will really participate in the war will not be the 10,000 cavalry that will attack Lu Liang, taking into account that there will be 70,000 or 80,000 or even more Western troops participating in the war, and taking into account that it will be a melee in the end.

Although Liu Fa's 50,000 army and the 100,000 army of the Planter Dao were annihilated before, but at this time, Liu Zhenglong was in the middle of the command, and at the same time there were cavalry participating in the battle, as long as the Western Army did not advance, and entangled the Jin Army step by step, to win time for the Song Army cavalry outflanking, then Lu Liang was the last grave of the Jin Army.

After calculating, there was no certainty of victory on the other side of the attack, Wanyan Zonghan was a little deflated, and at this time, the scout came to report that there were 2,000 elite soldiers from Taiyuan Mansion who went out of the city to the Song army camp.

At this time, what are you going to do in the Song army camp? Wanyan Zonghan immediately thought of transporting grain.

Sleepy, someone handed a pillow, was worried that he didn't know how to send troops, he didn't expect that the Song army defending the city would not be able to hold on, and he wanted to borrow grain and attack the team transporting grain, so he should always be sure of victory. It just so happens that you can also take the opportunity to touch Liu Zhenglong's bottom line, after all, there may be a lot of moisture in the previous fame. Although Wanyan Zonghan believed that Liu Zhenglong was a famous general, he still looked down on the Song Army and the generals of the Song Army in his bones.

Before Yan Zonghan could speak, Yan Zongzhi took the initiative to speak: "The last general is willing to lead five thousand cavalry to attack this team transporting grain." ”

"Okay, this attack, fight smartly, if the Song army has an ambush, you will withdraw immediately." In Wanyan Zonghan's opinion, even if the Song army had ambushes, there would be no problem for the 5,000 cavalry to retreat to protect themselves, and there would not be much danger.

Wanyan Zongzhi was full of confidence, and he didn't take Wanyan Zonghan's words to heart at all, in his opinion, the team transporting grain and grass was at most three or five thousand people, and his five thousand cavalry could end the battle with one impact.

20,000 stone of grain, why did it finally become a momentum of 100,000 stones, at first, Wang Tan didn't understand at first, but after loading it in the car, this guy completely understood, it seems that there is a tacit understanding between the brother and the king of Han, maybe this is the tacit understanding that only the top military commander has. He now understands that he still has a long way to go.

100,000 stone is indeed not a small amount, 2,000 soldiers escorted, and seven or eight thousand people pushed the cart slowly towards Taiyuan City, the speed was very slow, very slow. Along the way, Wang Tan constantly sent soldiers to check in Sizhou, for fear of being attacked by the Jin army.

A sneak attack is normal, and 100,000 stone grain is very important to Taiyuan City, and it is still very important to the Jin army.

Just when the grain transport team was less than five miles away from Taiyuan City, the five thousand cavalry led by Wanyan Zongzhi were killed, and before they arrived, the scouts of the Song army had already found the enemy, but with only two thousand infantry, they could only choose to give up the grain and run desperately towards Taiyuan City, and the people scattered and fled. Just threw away 100,000 stone of grain, this is a group of losers.

Wanyan Zongzhi was still afraid of being deceived, so he asked the soldiers to check, but found that it was food, so he happily transported it back. You must know that there are so many 100,000 stone of grain, and the soldiers can only get off their horses and push the cart away, and in this way, they can't transport an inch of 100,000 stone of grain. After all, two people are needed to push a small cart, and before it was seven or eight thousand people to transport, that is, three or four thousand carts. The 5,000 gold army transported a maximum of 2,500 carts, and the rest could only be lost.

What to do, it's a pity to lose it, and in the end, Wanyan Sect ordered all the grain that could not be transported to be burned. He knew that he would attack the transport team, and the Song army would soon counterattack, and in this case, it would be wisest to burn what could not be transported.
