"The second day of the first month, Weifan Day. The birth of the ancestor of China, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, is in this place where Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor created Chinese civilization, and it is also the place where the soul returns after death. In the morning, the Kansai town guard will report to Dingrong first, and the Jin army will attack! Almost at the same time, news also came from Fushui Town that it was attacked by the Jin army! Fortunately, no matter the seed division, Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, and even Wang Yan, the deputy commander of Hujie, they all fought a tough battle with the Jin army, and they were not afraid of danger. The division calmly dispatched, ordered the two towns to hold on, and contained part of the Jin army. Then he ordered the army to advance northward. The two armies of Song and Jin, no, the elite divisions of the Song and Jin countries. More than 150,000 people gathered in the wilderness more than ten miles north of Dingrong City. The significance of the victory or defeat of this battle is probably no less than the "Battle of Fuping" on top of the original history. If the Jin State wins, the Southern Dynasty will only be beaten from now on, and will not have the power to fight back. If the Great Song Dynasty wins, although it can't talk about the offensive and defensive changes, it is enough to make the Jurchens suffer for many years!

The decisive battle of the large corps of more than 150,000 people was crowded in a narrow area north of Dingrong and south of Weishui, and its formation can be imagined. Everywhere you look, there are dense armies! The earth is covered by strong soldiers, and the sky is covered by banners! More than 100,000 horses are just one breath, and it is enough to gather into a wind and clouds, and it will be cloudy and sunny left and right!

Whether it is the commander of the Jin army or the commander of the Song army, he must have never commanded or even seen such a large-scale battle since they joined the army. But it can be seen from the arrangement of the two that this vicious battle is their chess against each other.

Why? Although the two armies of Song and Jin are very different, the main formation is almost the same. On the Song army's side, the Qin Feng soldiers led by the seed division formed the main formation in the center, Xu Yuan led the Jingyuan soldiers on the left flank, Xu Sheng led the Hujie Division, and 15,000 newly armed township soldiers formed the right flank of the Shaanxi Chinese Army. Among the six roads in Shaanxi, the elites of the three roads are here!

On the other hand, the Jin army a few miles away has the same formation. The concubine is in the center, the Wanyan living girl is on the right, and the Wanyan Tuhe is on the left. The difference is that the large-scale cavalry that the Gongzhi Song army has never seen before is placed alone on the flanks, and it is impossible to estimate how many horsemen this horse army has by visual inspection alone. It seems that the commission has taken out all the blood this time!

In front of the battle, the soldiers were busy placing the rejecting horses, and in the case of the cavalry advantage to the other side, guarding against the impact of the horse army was the top priority. This can be seen from the formation of the two wings of the Song army, and the Shaanxi and Chinese army under Xu Sheng's command, because it is the foundation of Hujie, also sacrificed the "stacking formation" Rulin's spear in the front. It's just that the scale is far from what it used to be, stretching hundreds of steps from left to right! The large crossbowmen are sandwiched in the center by heavy infantry armed with swords and shields, as they are the least protected class.

There was no horse army in the Shaanxi army formation, because all the cavalry was concentrated in the main formation of the lieutenant and dispatched in a unified manner.

Xu Sheng was in the middle of the formation and looked to the left. Five hundred steps away, there was the main formation of Qin Feng's soldiers, and the eldest brother Xu Yuan's Jingyuan soldiers, he couldn't see them at all, because the distance was too far. The elite of the three roads converge here. The scale of this battle is unprecedented!

A small group of horses galloped in front of the formation, coming from afar. After entering the Shaanxi and Chinese army formations, he went straight to the Chinese army. From Xu Sheng seeing this horse army, to them running in front of them. It's been nearly a cup of tea!

"The captain has an order! Looking at the formation of the Jin Army, the scale of the Ma Army is huge! I am afraid that the commissioner will not use cavalry to attack first, so in the melee, its horse army may attack the left and right flanks at any time. Taiwei warned Xu Zhizhou not to act rashly! If you lose any part of the left and right flanks, the army will be in danger! Remember! ”

Xu Sheng waved his horsewhip: "Go back to the captain, the Shaanxi Chinese army will be as solid as a rock, and will not retreat an inch!" ”

At the same time, the Jin army was in front.

Wan Yan Wei Su stared at a pair of eagle-like eyes and had been observing the Western Army lineup for a long time, and he had to admit that as of this moment in front of him, he had not seen any obvious omissions or differences between strength and weakness on the other side. Among the breeders, he is worthy of being the only one left in the seed generals, and his lineup can be regarded as seamless from the perspective of the infantry army! Those with a caste deserve the title of a famous general!

Since I can't find the other party's flaws now, I can only watch while fighting. Exhaled, Concubine Su lifted the reins, beat the horse back to the front of the formation, and asked loudly: "Where is the Fifth Army now?" ”

"Marshal, according to time calculations, Ma Wu and this Xuan should all cross Weishui and reach the territory of Zheng County!" The ministry replied in a loud voice.

Zheng County, at most, at noon, he can rush to the battlefield and join the battle. With a move in his heart, the committee asked again: "Is there any news from the pontoon barrier?" ”

"After Yan Xi did not report, he had sent people across the river to the east bank to reconnoitre, and the Song army was stationed in the area of Yongle Town. So far, there has been no change. ”

Concubine Su took another breath, and then let out a long breath, it seemed that the Purple Golden Tiger was trapped on the east coast. This is good, whether he attacks the pontoon bridge or Huangguan, it is not something that can be taken in a day and a half. During this time, I was enough to defeat the Seed Master and the Xu family brothers. Even if he crosses the river tomorrow, the general trend is gone, and it is too late!

"Order Xi no, within today, he must report continuously, regardless of whether there is an abnormal situation!" The concubine ordered loudly. If it's someone else, it's just that. But Xu Hu'er is no longer the tiger cub when he protected the Zijin bridge, his minions are sharp, and he must be guarded against.

The Hujie Township Army and the Zhejia Army have been stationed in Yongle Town for several days, but they still haven't found a way to enter Guanzhong, and it seems that there is no more than storming the pontoon bridge and Huangguan

, Wanbi North One or Two "Hao Ke Xu Wei knew very well that his troops did not have the social world to fight fortified positions, and Yueguo fought hard, and the casualties may be unbearable. Not to mention that after entering the Guanzhong, you may immediately face a big war.

"Lieutenant Chong suggested that we storm the pontoon bridge, enter Tongzhou, and take the north bank of Weishui to cut off the retreat of Lousu. Tell me what you think. In the dilapidated hall, Xu Wei stood tall, and the sunlight shining through the gap in the roof was shining on him. It has been cloudy for many days, and today it is considered to be the sun.

"This seems to be the only way out, no matter how strong our army is, it will not help to be blocked out of the pass, and it is impossible to wave the army into the pass." Zhang Jun sighed.

Yao Pingzhong shook his head resolutely: "I have suggested entering Shaanzhou to fight the Huang Pass, no matter how dangerous the pass is, it is relatively easy for the troops to deploy." Hit the pontoon? Casualties are a real headache

The opinions of these two men already represented the thoughts of almost everyone, so since the two of them, the rest of the people have been silent. Seeing this, Ma Kuo said in a heavy tone: "Whether it is hitting the pontoon bridge or attacking the Huang Pass, there is one point, and no one can control the time. It may be broken in one day, or it may be blocked in ten and a half days. It is not difficult to see from the news brought by Lieutenant Chong and Xu Dashuai that the decisive battle between the two armies will be in these few days, and if our army can cross the river in time, the chances of victory will naturally be greater. ”

Xu Wei nodded when he heard this, if he could defeat the main force of the commission, then the Jin Guoxi Route Army would not only be difficult to pose a threat to Shaanxi, but might even collapse on the whole front. If this battle is won. It has a great impact on the entire war situation, or the situation between the Song and Jin countries.

can

From the tactical level, the main force of Concubine Su is now located on the south bank of Weishui, north of Dingrong, and the terrain determines that his large-scale cavalry corps cannot be fully used, which is very advantageous for the Song army. If you want to defeat so many Jin troops, this can be said to be the only chance!

"How about the twisting of the scriptures? After all, he is a senior of Xicao, and Xu Wei still has to ask for advice.

Zhe Keqiu politely arched his hand: "Whether it is attacking the pontoon bridge or taking the Jieguan, we must make a decision as soon as possible, and the fighter plane cannot afford to lose." Otherwise, the situation in Shaanxi will continue to deteriorate, and there may be no way to recover

What ginger is old and spicy? What does it mean to eat more salt than you eat rice? Although the Zhejia army has been guarding the narrow area of Linfu Road all the year round, it can be said that the stakes are broken. Let Xu Wei take another look at the family of Zhe Yanzhi. Yes, soldier noble god, if I have been spending in the river, not only will I slow down the morale of the army, but it is more likely that I will not be able to participate in this big war related to the survival of Shaanxi.

Yao Pingzhong said that at least the troops would be easy to attack Huangguan, but he seemed to selectively ignore one point, there were still Jin troops stationed in Shaanzhou, and the enemy in the territory had to be eliminated before Huangguan. That's it. Then he ordered: "The generals will obey the order!" ”

Dozens of generals stood up at the same time, and the sonorous sound of the collision of armor and swords made people's hearts stir!

"Report! Ask for justice! Outside the hall, some people asked to see him, saying that he was a big river Wangfu, and he wanted to report a place to cross the river! Before Xu Wei issued a military order, an officer reported from outside the hall.

These words caused an uproar in the hall! If you can really cross the river, it will naturally be as strong as attacking the fortification! Thinking so, all the generals focused their eyes on the outside of the hall. Xu Wei ordered the man to be brought in, and it was the man who was broken into his house by two Jin soldiers on the day the army arrived. When he arrived at the hall, he knelt down and made a gesture to Xu Wei and Zhe Keqiu, and then said: The villain Sun Er, who makes a living from fishing, estimates that the officers and soldiers need to cross the river, and there is a location, which is specially reported to the public. ”

Xu Wei stepped forward quickly and asked quickly, "Where?"

"It's not far from here, Fenglingdu!" As soon as Sun Er's words came out, there was a dead silence in the hall. Many people couldn't hide their disappointment on their faces, thinking that you had some secret waterway, but it turned out to be Fenglingdu! The officers and soldiers are not blind, how can they not know that "Fenglingdu." Since ancient times, it has been the largest ferry port on the Yellow River, and it is only one place that can connect Shaanxi, Hedong and Henan. The eared Jurchens had already burned the boat clean, what to use to cross the river?

The most disappointed person was Xu Wei, but his face was still calm, and he personally picked up Sun and Er, and praised: "Your heart of service, this official knows." Let's go get the five-run bounty

When Sun Er heard this, he boldly asked again: Although the villain is a fisherman, he has a lot of strength in his body, please allow the public to serve in front of our army! When crossing the river, you can also shake the tsubaki! ”

Xu Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, not going to say more. But at this time, Yang Yan was anxious, and said angrily: "There is not a single boat, cross the river of birds!" Tens of thousands of horses can't all swim over! ”

Who knows, Sun Er immediately said a sentence, which made all the generals and concubines in the hall look pale!

"The villain knows where there is a boat!"

Xu Wei's hand shook involuntarily, and the slap turned into a catch! grabbed Sun Er and asked loudly, "This is true!" ”

When Sun Er saw him like this, he was shocked at first, and then saw that the generals in armor and chairs and knives in their waists were all around, and he was even more frightened, and stammered: Villain, sentence, sentence is true, truth! Dare, dare to take heads

Xu Wei hurriedly let go of him, helped the wrinkles on his clothes, and comforted him with kind words: "Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, you say slowly, say slowly!" But Sun Er saw that the generals were staring at him one by one, and he couldn't say why for a long time.

"Damn! Tell me about it! Where is the ship! Yang Yan was in a hurry, and habitually put his hand on the hilt of the knife. As a result, Sun Er trembled like chaff, and he couldn't speak.

Xu Wei was patient, first asked the generals to retreat, and then said with a smile on his face: "Don't panic, don't panic, think slowly."

Sun Er swallowed his saliva vigorously, and then said: "From Yongle to the east, to the territory of the original Jiezhou." There are dozens of large charcoal wells. Before the Jurchens came, they were not prosperous, and the daily production of charcoal was not counted, and it was sold to Henan Province, Shaanxi. ”

Don't I know that? This charcoal well is in charge of the military yamen, which charcoal well does not have my share? But what does it have to do with the ship? Although Xu Wei was puzzled in his heart, he didn't open his mouth to ask, and listened patiently.

"This charcoal is dug out, if you go to Shaanxi, you will naturally take the pontoon bridge. If you go to Henan Mansion, you have to take the waterway. As a result, many mine owners have large boats and boatmen. The villain used to fish, and since the charcoal well was reopened, he went to run away from the boat. Hearing that the Jin army had arrived in Hedong, the Dingcheng Army Yamen posted a notice, and the mine owners decided to withdraw to the west bank in advance. The charcoal workers were evacuated, but the ship could not be removed, and finally the mine owners gathered together to discuss and simply scuttle and burn the ship. In case the Jurchens enter the Guanzhong and just borrow our boat to cross the river, won't this become a collaborator? ”

Yang Yan really wanted to slash him with a knife, you fucking talked about it for a long time, can you talk about the point? Can you give it directly? In a word, where is the ship! Straight sissy thief!

Sun Er saw that the faces of the commanders were not very friendly, and the smile on Xu Zhijun's face in front of him was almost frozen, and he swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and continued: "But later someone said, it's a pity to burn it, it's better to bury it."

Don't believe that he, the Jurchens can dig three feet into the ground? As a result, many mine owners asked charcoal boatmen to bring their boats ashore. Dig the ground and bury it. The villain ran a boat for Hu Maochang and Hu Daguanren, the owner of two charcoal wells in Datong Fengli, and knew where his ship was buried

As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall was boiling! The generals were smiling, this is really an endless road! With a boat, crossing the river is no problem! If you don't say it, you will enter the customs!

Xu Wei's heart was beating hard, Hu Maochang, Hu Maochang, you keep saying that I am your nobleman. You're my savior! If my army can cross the river smoothly, I will be thankful after the battle!

"Silence". There was a loud shout, and the hall was silent. Xu Wei closed his eyes and thought for a while, and immediately said, "That's it!" Folded warp omitted. It is annoying that you will join the king and the capital, and Wu Jie, immediately gather troops and pack up their equipment. Zhang Qing, you are responsible for sending people to recruit boatmen, and those who know how to shake the water are called to me! Yao Pingzhong took Yang Zaixing to lead 2,000 horse troops from Yongle to the west, responsible for guarding, and I personally took people to set off the boat! As soon as the boat is in place, cross the river immediately! ”

"Yes!" The generals are all in good spirits, and the roof tiles are sonic shock!

At that moment, all the generals performed their duties, Xu Wei took Du Feihu, led thousands of soldiers and urgently recruited boatmen from Yongle to the east under the leadership of Sun Er, and went straight to Xie County. Xie County, that is, the original Xie Zhou, was downgraded to a county by the Xuanfu Division because of serious damage, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Dingcheng Army. In order to resume production, Xu Wei requisitioned a large number of township troops to come over for reclamation. He also reopened the charcoal well, and not only did the merchant make a lot of money, but also solved the problem of feeding many families, and he himself gained a lot of benefits.

It's just that all the way over, I saw that weeds had grown in the cultivated land, and it was obvious that as soon as the Jin army came, the villagers withdrew to the west bank, and the fields were abandoned. People are wrong for a while, and they are wrong for a year! But it doesn't matter, this Shaanxi war is down. Replenish the source of troops, that's for sure. At that time, the original township soldiers who were training while farming would have to be incorporated into the regular army!

In less than an hour, it will be seven or eight miles outside the suburbs of Xie County, which is the location of the two largest charcoal wells in Datong Fengli, and five or six miles to the south, is the Yellow River. Sun Er guided the officers and soldiers, first obtained a large number of tools from various charcoal wells, and then rushed all the way to the river, and then followed the river east for three or four miles, and then stopped.

He stood there and looked left and right, looked back at the terrain behind him, looked at the opposite shore for a while, and suddenly gathered his head and said, "This is it!" ”

Du Feihu, who was always blue-faced, waved his hand, and the soldiers swarmed up with hoes and pickaxes!

Xu Wei dismounted and walked to the beach accompanied by Du Feihu every inch, leaving a long list of footprints. At this time, the Yellow River was very different from the Yellow River that Xu Wei had seen before he crossed, although the water was also muddy, but it had not yet reached the point of yellow.

Grabbing a handful of sand and looking at it, Xu Wei looked up at the river, which is known as the mother river of the Chinese nation. It can be said that he Xu Wei got up by the Yellow River. When he guarded the pontoon bridge, he became famous in a battle, and even got the nickname of "Purple Golden Tiger". At that time, it was with the danger of the Yellow River and the strength of the barriers. The Yellow River is not only the mother river, but also his lucky river! This time, I also hope that the mother river can carry the wish of tens of thousands of soldiers to kill in the pass and annihilate the strong enemy! This time, if the Jin army is defeated, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi. And the three brothers of the Xu family, I'm afraid it's not as simple as occupying one of the six roads.

A cheer suddenly sounded behind him, Xu Wei hurriedly turned around and ran over, picking up the soldiers, only to see a section of the hull exposed in the sand. Judging from the exposed hull alone, this ship is not small! As the excavation progressed, the ship finally revealed its true face. It is more than two and a half zhang long and more than seven feet wide, and it is not a big problem for a boat to carry fifty or sixty people!

"Got it!"

"Here are two!"

"Dig up another one!"

, Wanbi North

With the unearthing of one ship after another, Xu Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed. In the last count, there are 17 large boats that are only two and a half zhang long, and there are 11 or 2 small boats of all kinds in the rest. By tomorrow at the latest, all troops will be able to be put into Guanzhong!
