Chapter 773: Besieging Haizi Village

"Collect your troops and stop attacking! There is no need to go into the water to build bridges, the riverside garrison retreats a hundred zhang, reduces the conflict with the Song army, and when the time comes, the Song army camp will be captured in one fell swoop! ”

The commander of the Jin army was full of red light and his eyes were shining because of his excitement.

And the people in the tent will look at me and I will look at you, and they have doubts, but no one dares to speak.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you understand?" When the commander of the Jin army saw the expressions on the faces of the generals, he was secretly proud in his heart, but he was still exercising self-restraint on his face.

As soon as these words come out, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't open my mouth again.

So a general asked cautiously: "Dashuai, what time are you waiting?" ”

"Cold wind." The commander of the Jin army spat out two words from his mouth, looked at them, and did not explain more.

Looking at the dazed expressions on the faces of the generals, they still didn't understand, and they still couldn't think of the best way to defeat the Song army.

The commander of the Jin army sighed and said, "If it's cold, the water will freeze. In the autumn and winter seasons of the canal outside the camp, the water is dead and easily freezing. The river has begun to freeze, haven't you all been to the river to see it yourself? ”

This question lowered the eyebrows of all the generals, avoiding the generalissimo's gaze.

Confronted the Song army on the opposite side for many days, and what they did was useless, knowing that it would be difficult to build a bridge to cross the river in a short time, who would personally step forward to supervise the battle on the riverbank?

In addition, the wind is strong and the weather is cold, and the Song army can't come, there will be no big war, isn't it good to be warm in the camp tent?

Is it because before the problem of crossing the river is solved, the vast majority of generals have nothing to do, and if they don't heat up in the camp tent, can they go out to blow the wind?

No one has the courage to answer this question of the generalissimo of the Jin Army, whether it is a negative answer or a positive answer, and the next one will definitely be scolded.

But if everyone tacitly agrees not to speak, the generalissimo can't be angry with anyone, after all, the war still depends on everyone.

Sure enough, the commander of the Jin army could only sigh, his eyes swept over the generals one by one, and said: "How can you take on great responsibilities in the future, be a marshal, and command a large army like you?" In order to be the commander, the vision must be wide, the mind must be wide, see more and think more, in order to have the ability to control the battle situation, and then can win the battle and determine the future! ”

"Dashuai is right, I'll make sure to correct it!"

As soon as they heard that the generalissimo would not be held accountable or punished, the generals shouted compliments and copies.

Seeing that the generals humbly accepted the instructions, the commander of the Jin army was satisfied.

Then he continued with his previous words: "The canal has frozen, but the weather is not cold enough, and the ice is less than an inch thick to support the passage of soldiers." When it's colder, the ice is three inches thick, and you can go up and down the ice freely! At that time, the whole army will attack, and it will be easy to break through the camp of the Song army! ”

"Dashuai, can there be three inches of ice in the river? In the past, the river rarely froze in winter, and I really never saw it three inches thick. Some generals seemed to be in a good mood when they saw the marshal, so they hurriedly asked a painless but critical question.

As soon as the words fell, others also said that they had never seen three-inch thick ice in the Yanjing area in winter.

The commander of the Jin army couldn't help but sigh again, and then shook his head lightly and said, "Let you go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, but you just don't listen." In the past few years, the winter has been getting colder and colder than before, don't you feel it? ”

The generals were at a loss.

They really don't know, the generalissimo doesn't say it, they still think that the older they get, the more afraid of the cold they are, how do they know that winter is still getting cold every year.

"If you really don't know, ask some ordinary soldiers, they must know better than you!"

"Yes, the last general will go back and ask someone." The generals hurriedly agreed.

The commander of the Jin Army is very helpless, with such a junior general, how can he keep Yanjing for a long time, it is really a problem.

"Okay, without further ado, you all go back and get ready, and when the river freezes three inches, it's time for the whole army to attack and break through the Song army camp."

"Yes, the last general will retire!"

The generals got up and left the camp one after another.

When he arrived outside the camp, there were still people struggling with the problem of freezing in the river, and he only heard him ask the general beside him: "Can there really be ice three inches thick in the river?" ”

"The marshal said yes, it should be possible. What do you want to do so much, go back and stay well, just wait for the commander to give the order. The general next to him replied.

"That's what I said, what the hell are you doing, I'm not a generalissimo."

In the cold wind, the generals talked about it, quickly left the tent, and walked quickly to their tent.

Since there is no war for the time being, then take a good rest and wait for the commander's order.

After the generals left, in the slightly empty tent, the commander of the Jin army was still secretly happy with the clever plan he had come up with.

It's really a great help, the Song army is going north in vain this time, I really can't help but feel sorry for them!

"Hahaha......" Thinking about it, the commander of the Jin army couldn't help laughing, but he startled the personal guards outside the tent.

Just when the Jin army camp began to collect troops, waiting for the blessing of the heavenly time, and captured the transportation camp in one fell swoop, the Song army also began a new adjustment and deployment.

The grain and grass materials in the transportation camp were loaded on the ship, and went down the river through the flowing Chaobai River to Xianghe County, and in less than three days, in addition to the necessary grain and grass materials, the rest of the materials were transferred to the empty place, and there were only more than 30,000 troops left in the entire transportation camp.

After the transfer of grain and grass materials was completed, with the arrival of the new commander's order, the army in the battalion also began to redeploy.

The whole army was divided into three, the one responsible for the defense of the front battalion did not move, and the other two, one withdrew to the southeast and was deployed more than 40 miles away near the direction of Xianghe County, and the other withdrew south to the river and was deployed near the north of Matou Village.

After the order was issued by Ming Fu this time, the generals no longer had so many doubts, because they had already discovered the anomaly of the Jin army across the river.

They found that although the Jin army had collected its troops and left the river bank slightly, they had no intention of leaving, and through observation, they knew that the Jin army was preparing to launch a full-scale offensive, the scale was unimaginable, and it was likely that more than 40,000 people pounced on them like hungry wolves.

The transportation camp is not far from the river bank, if the Jin army thinks of a good way to cross the river, their cavalry can instantly rush into the camp without a charge, and when the defensive formation is chaotic, it will be difficult to resist the Jin army, once the follow-up troops of the Jin army cross the river, the entire transportation camp will immediately change hands.

At the beginning, the transportation camp was built between the canal and the Chaobai River, and there was a calculation to guard against the Jin army from risking to attack the camp and seize the camp.

Obviously, the above should have received the news about the Jin army's attack on the camp in advance, and ordered the transfer of supplies within three days.

Now that the generals have seen the Jin army's abnormal behavior with their own eyes, they naturally will no longer question the orders of the commander Ming Fu and the above.

It can also be said that in order to win, they are happy to carry out any order, including adjusting the deployment of troops.

The cold air crossed the northern plateau mountain range and continued to move south, sweeping across Yanjing and Hejian, the weather became colder and colder, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

The Jin army, which had been embankmentd in the camp of Haizi Village for more than ten days, finally relaxed its vigilance in the cold wind.

The Jin army knew very early that the Song army was intolerant of severe cold, and if it sent troops in autumn, it would definitely shrink the front in winter, and even if Haizi Village was an empty camp at this time, the Song army would not come to occupy it, because the camp was definitely not as comfortable as the city.

However, Jin Jun miscalculated this time.

Just when they thought that the Song army would cower in Gu'an City in the cold winter when the wind was howling, they were relieved to boldly light a fire in the camp to keep warm, sleep and lie down, a Song army was rapidly approaching the camp in Haizi Village.

In the cold wind, the haze is pervasive, and the line of sight is only a few dozen feet away.

None of the sentries scattered near the camp in Haizi Village escaped their lives, and all the Song troops were killed quietly.

And the few guards in front of the camp gate have left a lot of excuses in the cold wind, and there are only a few dozen people left.

No one can endure the severe cold in the north, and the same is true for the Jin soldiers who live in the north all year round.

Just when the sentries were enduring the unbearable cold, numb in their hands and feet, and anxiously waiting for the change of guards, they suddenly saw a cavalry rushing out of the fog in front of the camp.

Seeing the cavalry appear, they were slightly stunned, wondering when their cavalry had put on such strange armor and looked like their own.

After waiting for a while, seeing the cavalry rushing towards them raise their bows and crossbows in their hands and aim at them, they came back to their senses in horror, these cavalry were not their own people at all, but the Song army!

However, it was too late, and before they could open their mouths to make a sound, countless sharp arrows whistled in, shooting them directly into hedgehogs, and then stepping on their bodies that were not yet completely unconscious, and rushed into the camp gate.

Before the Jin army sentry who was shot into a hedgehog completely closed his eyes and died, he saw countless Song cavalry in strange armor tearing through the fog dozens of feet away and rushing towards them.

As his neck cooled and his head rolled down, he didn't close his eyes and saw the figure of the Song army's infantry not far away, the number of people was black and oppressive, many and many......

Under the personal leadership and command of Yang Congyi, Gu'an County dispatched 15,000 infantry troops and all the elite forbidden troops, taking advantage of the hazy sky with the cold wind howling, to surround the camp of Haizi Village in one fell swoop.

Then he ordered the heavy cavalry to rush the battalion, directly disrupting the deployment of the Jin army in the battalion, dividing the various battalions, so that the information in the battalion could not be communicated, and the commanders and generals could not effectively command, and they could not organize a unified counterattack.

After the two elite forbidden armies rushed into the camp from the north and south gates, the two infantry armies followed.

The camp in Haizi Village is the territory of the Gu'an infantry army, built by them themselves, everything in the camp is very familiar to them, where is the barracks, where is the warehouse, there is no need for any search, just relying on physical memory, they can find their respective targets, block the enemy army, and start a fierce battle.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the commander of the Jin army and the generals had not yet figured out what had happened, and how many Song troops had attacked the camp, and the entire camp in Haizi Village was in chaos, and the military information could not be collected, and the orders could not be conveyed.

As time passed, the commanders and generals of the Jin army finally understood that this was not an attack on the camp, but a counterattack by the Song army.

It's a pity that they understood too late, and by the time they figured it out, the front camp and the back camp had all been taken, leaving only the area of the Chinese army's big tent.

And in this area, there are also groups of cavalry with crossbows and crossbows that are on a rampage.
