Chapter 953: Feint
Not to mention that Huang Jie was already calculating the matter of sculpting a statue of at least five zhang tall for the Planter Dao, that is, the front and back feet of the Planter Dao to send good news, and the Goryeo side also sent an urgent request for help, but he told Huang Jie that Goryeo Xijing Pyongyang, which had just been broken by the Song army not long ago, also asked the Jin army to break through, and it didn't take a day to break through.

Although he learned early in the morning that it was Zong Bi who was hiding behind the 30 Jurchen coalition forces in Baishan and gave orders to do things, Huang Jie also speculated that Zong Bi, who had eaten a big sweetness in the "Blitzkrieg", might repeat his old tricks when attacking Goryeo this time, but he didn't expect that the defense of the Goryeo people was too poor.
There is a saying, if others easily defeat you the first time, maybe it's not because of you, but because the other party is awesome, but if two people can easily defeat you, the key to this problem must be that you are really weak.
Regarding Zong Bi's breaking of Pyongyang, Huang Jie at this time was really beyond his reach, and he couldn't help, so he could only tell the Koreans to defend Kaijing to the death, if they really couldn't hold it...... You might as well get on the boat and flee to Bailing Island first, not to mention that there are still 3,000 Shenwu troops stationed on the island, and there are more Great Song sailors to defend them, which should be able to protect the Goryeo people from Bailing Island and evacuate the Great Song Dynasty.
Because this time, Huang Jie's tactic is to ignore it, go all the way to the black, and go directly to Huanglong Mansion (it would be better if he could hit Huining Mansion in the end), so even if Zong Bi beat the Koreans into soybean milk, he would not withdraw his troops and go back to the rescue.
At the same time, on a hill that intersected with the official road one hundred and sixty miles south of Liaoyang and about forty miles from Liyaozhou City, Zongwang's army of 50,000 stopped here helplessly.
On that day, it was already the afternoon of the 24th day of the lunar month, and the 50,000 southern expeditionary troops set up camp around the hill, and they heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, and there were many people who were shouting and scolding in Song dialect.
"Into him a straight thief! Why haven't you seen each other for a few days, and the Song people have come up with a big stone castle like a trick? "Below the knoll, about a dozen horsemen were looking at a very abrupt building on the horizon, too far away to see the whole picture, but with their eyes they could see that it was supposed to be a fortress.
At this time, Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the attached army (vassal army) of the Jin State's southern expeditionary army, had already removed his military uniform, only wearing a brocade satin winter coat filled with a large amount of fur, and was walking his war horse in small steps, and Fang Cai's words were a reckless man beside him who opened his mouth and said, and he also saw Guo Yaoshi and said: "Five ministers, you really found out that the Song army has repaired two such stone forts along the official road?" ā
That big man should be Zhen Wuchen, the confidant of Guo Yaoshi, so he listened to him: "It's not wrong, I waited until I got close to five hundred paces away, and arrows were also shot from the stone castle, and I could see that the guards were very vigilant." Zijin made people carefully measure the distance, no more, no less, a full twenty miles is one, as if they have seen a ghost. ā
Pharmacist Guo didn't know if it was okay to hear it, but he just tried to gather his eyes to look at the stone castle from afar, wanting to see what clues.
Soon, I also saw more than a dozen horsemen and horses coming quickly, and after stopping in front of Guo Yaoshi, I also saw Guo Yaoshi's son Guo Dalang Guo Anguo hurriedly jumped off the horse, and pulled a person down from the horse, so he also threw it in front of Guo Yaoshi and said: "Dad, the inquiry is clear, it took only five days for the Song people to build the stone fort." ā
This Guo Anguo dragged down from the horse, looking at the color of the clothes should be a Khitan pariah, immediately Guo Yaoshi also asked in Khitan dialect, and learned that the Song army that built the stone fort was here five days ago, and then the nearby herdsmen also saw that the Song people seemed to have used a spell, and built a huge stone fort on the flat ground in just five days.
As for how it was built, the Khitan pariahs who were found for questioning could only shake their heads and say that they didn't know, because after the Song army began to build the stone fort, they also sent people to disperse the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, so it was naturally impossible for them to see the process.
After ordering someone to take the untouchable away, Guo Yaoshi didn't walk his horse anymore, so he got on his horse and rushed to the middle camp with a greeting, and only then did he enter the big tent and heard someone roaring in Jurchen: "The marshal will arrive early tomorrow morning, and order all the armies to cook on the fourth watch tomorrow, eat on the fifth watch, and attack the city at the time of the morning, and strive to take the stone fort of the Song people in front before the marshal arrives!" ā
When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he hurriedly signed up for the account, so he also saluted and said to the person who is now sitting in the position of the boss: "Deputy marshal, is it too hasty to launch an attack early tomorrow morning?" Besides, our army is rushing to the march, and there is no siege equipment at all, Guo Mou looked at the wall of the stone fort, not to mention two zhang, three or four, that is, not to make the building car, the ladder, at least have to prepare some long ladders. ā
When Guo Yaoshi said this, he immediately received the support of many Jurchen generals present in the tent, and even more Jurchen generals echoed: "Puluhu, Guo Meng'an said well, don't underestimate the stone fort in front of you, I asked Erlang to run a horse and measure it, not to mention that it is two miles long, and the shape of the city wall is also a little weird, if you don't make enough preparations, you will ask Erlang to attack the city, if you can't attack it, how to explain it to the marshal?" ā
The deputy marshal's name is Puluhu, naturally it is none other than Wanyan Zongpan, the eldest son of Wanyan Wu, the current lord of Dajin State. However, although he is the eldest son of Wu Qimai, he is a prince-like figure, but at this time, the Jin Kingdom has not yet made so many fancy intestines, and leading troops to fight is still judged by personal force, strategy and military exploits, so the commander of this southern expedition is Wanyan Zongwang, and he Wanyan Zongpan can only be the deputy marshal.
But he also said that after the general ruthlessly attacked Yan Zongpan, the other generals naturally echoed in unison, and Wanyan Zongpan was really unable to refute it except for his face being slightly red with anger, so he could only say: "The siege equipment, I will let people rush to make it overnight, look at the stone fort, although it looks good, it may not be strong, if I wait tomorrow morning to attack him before the marshal comes, if it is a fluke, it will also be a great achievement." ā
After listening to Yan Zongpan's tone of speech at this time, it almost turned into a pleading, and many Jurchen generals in the tent were dumbfounded, but at this time, they listened to Guo Yaoshi and said: "What the deputy marshal said is very true!" Guo thought that he would do a feint early tomorrow morning, and it was okay! ā
Hearing that, Pharmacist Guo came to hold Yan Zongpan's horse ass again at this time, and Yan Zongpan gave a grateful look when he arrived, but all the Jurchen generals showed contempt for the two of them.
Of course, Wanyan Zongpan, as the future eldest prince of Dajin, still has to give face, so he quickly agreed to make a feint attack on the stone castle early tomorrow morning!
