He didn't look suspicious, and his thick eyebrows were almost wrinkled. For generals, the most taboo is indecisive, dragging mud and water, and everything must be decided immediately, just because the battlefield situation changes instantly, and if you lose an order, the army will be broken and killed. Looking back at the pontoon bridge, his subordinates had already withdrawn to Phoenix Mountain in the river. This retreat, the sharp spirit is lost, and it is of little significance to attack again. After thinking about it again and again, he ordered to temporarily rest at the fortress of Phoenix Mountain, and he led a group of generals to go down the city and go straight to the northwest.

Less than two miles away, he heard the thunder of war drums and the shouts of soldiers reaching into the sky. It seems that the seed master Dao came to help this time, and he made full preparations. The pontoon bridge has been unable to be attacked for a long time, and now the enemy reinforcements have arrived, which is really annoying. Hurrying forward, he saw from afar that his thousands of elite cavalry were stationed in place, stagnant.

Further forward, I saw a thousand paces away with flags in the sky, and an army was steadily advancing. He gritted his teeth and fought his horse out of the battle, and several generals behind him followed him, and Pharmacist Guo frowned and followed. Running out of the land of two arrows, he stopped his horses and looked west. The second prince of Jin Guo couldn't help but look worried, and his tone was heavy.

"The second prince said that this Song army has a distinct armor and is purged by the infantry army, which is very different from the Song army he met before."

Pharmacist Guo is an expert, so he can naturally see it. The planter Dao is a battlefield general, and when he was a minister to the Khitan, he had already heard of his name. At this time, at first sight, the peak of its military appearance can be said to be the only one in his life, and the arrangement of troops is very disciplined, worthy of the name of a famous general. If there is any other army in the Southern Dynasty that can make the Jurchen Iron Cavalry a little jealous, I am afraid that there is only a seed army in the Western Army.

"Your Highness, the Song army has set up a formation and cannot be attacked. When the division is moved to increase the base for self-defense, after nightfall, send iron cavalry to attack secretly, and it can be successful! Pharmacist Guo suggested. He has long heard of the prestige of the Western Army's ability to fight, and it is said that when the family army fought against the party members, the Xia army sent elite heavy cavalry "Iron Harriers", thinking that it was a chance of winning ten dozen or ten. However, the infantry of the division was killed, and the marshal of the unified army was only spared and fled back in embarrassment. At present, the capture of the pontoon bridge has been blocked, and the soldiers' spirit has been lost.

After a while, he shook his head resolutely! Since the Jurchen Iron Cavalry started to resist Liao, it must be the first to win people in every battle, and there has never been a negative defense. At the moment, although this Song army has set up a formation, it can't frighten my elite division for the rest of my life. As long as this reinforcement is broken first, the defenders on the south bank will be frightened and have no intention of responding to the battle when they see it. At that time, the pontoon bridge will be at your fingertips, and if you enter Tokyo, you will get twice the result with half the effort! Immediately returned to the battle, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and ordered the cavalry to charge with all their might!

On the south bank, Xu Wei and a group of officers stood at the head of the city, looking at the north bank with questions. Today's battle can be said to be the smoothest offensive of the Jin army in the past few days, many people thought that the pontoon bridge was about to be lost, and even some of the forbidden soldiers began to flee, Xu Wei beheaded more than ten people before he could press down. But why did the Jurchens stop moving forward as soon as they were frustrated? This is not like the style of the Jin Army, could it be that he has come up with some new tactics?

"Isn't it a kind of public reinforcement that has arrived?" Sun Zheng said suddenly.

The generals were overjoyed, if this was the case, then the danger of the Yellow River could be regarded as lifted. After days of hard fighting, although the casualties of the troops were not large by virtue of the geographical advantage, the soldiers were on guard day and night, and they were very tired, and it was time to rest and recuperate. Xu Wei's expression was solemn, even if the reinforcements of the Cultivation Division Dao had arrived, the Jingsui camp should not be careless. This pontoon bridge is too important to be missed. At that moment, he ordered people to step up the re-erection of obstacles, and ordered the armies not to slack off and take precautions.

"Deputy Envoy Xu! Deputy Envoy Xu! A cry of joy came from afar, and after a while, Li Guan, the head of the Jingsui camp, came to the city, his face was full of joy, his finger was west, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Qing asked several times, but he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said loudly: "Reinforcements!" Imperial reinforcements have arrived! ”

As soon as he said this, the city thundered with joy! Peel away the clouds and see the blue sky! The imperial court has finally sent reinforcements! Our Jingsui camp finally persevered to the end! Xu Wei couldn't help but be a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it now?" How many centaurs? ”

Li Guanxi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The vanguard troops have arrived three miles away, just talk!" ”

Xu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, he has been on high alert in the past few days, and he can't sleep for more than two hours a day. At this time, when I heard that reinforcements had arrived, I had some symptoms of collapse. Cheered up his spirits and ordered the deputy commander Zhang Qing to go to meet the reinforcements, and the rest of the generals stuck to their posts and still couldn't underestimate the enemy.

Zhang Qing led a few soldiers to beat the horse to the west, and after a while, he saw a Biao army horse coming at a gallop. The two sides stopped a few steps apart, only to see that the first general, about fifty years old, was mighty! Two thick eyebrows went straight into the sideburns, a pair of eyes that could almost penetrate people's hearts, a scar on the cheek, a short beard under the chin, wearing heavy armor, carrying a big knife, and after holding the reins, he asked sharply: "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Zhang Qing was excited, and immediately bowed and said: "Zhang Qing, the deputy commander of the Yongying Battalion of Jingsui Township, didn't ask for ......advice."

The general didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and interrupted: "Where is Xu Jiu?" ”

Zhang Qing was stunned, could it be that even the imperial court knew the name of my Jingsui camp? A few days ago, I sent someone to Tokyo for help, and if I calculate the time, it shouldn't have arrived yet. When he was puzzled, he heard the general ask, "I asked you where Xu Jiu is?" Zhang Qing hurriedly replied, and the general didn't say much after listening, and led his subordinates straight to the pontoon bridge. As soon as the front foot left, Zhang Qing and the others saw a sea of people in the west, only to see a forest of swords and guns, battle flags fluttering, and the sound of people roaring and neighing. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hope for reinforcements!

Under the barrier, Xu Wei ordered Yang Yan's hoplites to stand by to guard against a sudden attack by the Jurchens at any time, and at the same time supervised the soldiers to step up the obstacles. He was so busy that he was dizzy, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves hurrying, and looked back, dozens of horses galloped towards him. The first person, the horse roared like thunder before it stopped: "Where is Xu Wei?" ”

Xu Wei stepped forward and arched his hand: "I am Xu Wei, the commander of the Yongying Battalion of the Daimyo Jingsui Township, dare to ask ......."

The general jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward, stood face to face and looked at him from head to toe, looking at Xu Weiyun Mountain fog cover, not knowing where he was. The other party then said loudly: "I am the deputy head of Jingyuan Road, and I was ordered to lead the army to help, and your department can immediately hand over the defense and rest on the spot." "It's really like a bell, deafening.

Xu Wei knew that he was sympathetic to the Jingsui camp for days of hard fighting, so he said gratefully: "Thank you for your compassion, but the gold thief is still in the middle of the river Phoenix Mountain barrier has not retreated, if you see me handing over the defense, it will definitely attack." It's not too late to wait for the Jin soldiers to retreat before making the delivery. ”

The general nodded in agreement, looked at him again, and threw down a sentence: "After the arrangements are completed, come to the camp to see me." Then he led the men away.

Xu Wei did not doubt him and continued to work. After a long while, Fang Cai made proper arrangements, and he was exhausted and wanted to rest for a while, but he remembered what Fang Cai's chief minister said. went to the camp alone, and it took a lot of effort, and the originally empty camp became lively again. Countless soldiers shuttled back and forth, and there was an atmosphere of imminent war. Xu Wei asked where the chief was, and the sergeant replied that the generals and colonels had gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters.

Before coming to the big tent, I saw that it was heavily guarded, and the soldiers outside the tent blocked the way with guns and knives. In such a short period of time, the reinforcements have been prepared, and it seems that the deputy capital manager is in charge of the army. After reporting the name, the soldier went in to report, and after a short time, he called Xu Wei in. As soon as he stepped into the tent, he saw that the deputy chief of the capital pointed at him, laughed and said to the generals: "This is my family's thousands of miles away!" ”
