The general pondered for a long time and suggested: "The Song army's defense on the other side is so stubborn that it is difficult to break through in a hurry, so it is better to withdraw the troops first, and when the follow-up troops arrive, join forces and cross the river by boat." In my opinion, although the defenders on the other side of the bank were stubborn, they were outnumbered, and they only stopped our army with the help of pontoon bridges. If our army crosses the river by boat, its advantage will no longer exist! ”

This time, the Han official did not explain to Hu Li, but asked directly: "How do you conclude that the defenders on the other side are outnumbered?" ”

"You see that in the camp on the other side, the Song army has already fled, and it is expected that there are only a few thousand people left. As long as our army abandons the pontoon bridge and crosses the river by boat, its military spirit will surely be shaken, and then it will attack the south bank with all its might, and it will be the time for our army to use force! When the news reached Tokyo, although there were hundreds of thousands of Qinwang's troops outside the city, when they heard that the pontoon bridge had been seized and Dajin was overwhelmed, they were sure to have a cowardly heart of war....... This person does have some skills, not only knows the reality of the Great Song Dynasty well, but even has a very accurate grasp of the mentality of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs.

After the Han official explained to the second prince, the latter stared at the general for a long time, and then shook his head and chattered for a while. The Han official nodded frequently when he heard this, and said to the general: "If my tens of thousands of troops cross the river by boat, when will they be able to cross the river?" If the Song army reinforcements arrived when crossing the river, wouldn't they be able to take care of each other? Besides, if you don't take this pontoon bridge on a smooth road, and if you use a boat, wouldn't you be willing to go far? ”

When the general heard this, he was anxious, and stepped forward to face the second prince and said, "Although the Song Dynasty used the Seed Master Dao again, he did not give a single soldier!" He still can't come to King Qin, it must be difficult for the troops to recruit, even if he kills, he is not afraid! I am willing to lead thousands of elite soldiers to cut off the rear for the army! And make a military order, if it does not come, as long as it comes, I will defeat it! ”

Han Guan stared at him, and slowly explained to the second prince for a long time, but the latter shook his head without listening at all. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the offensive was blocked, he was impatient, so he ordered the troops to be withdrawn. As soon as the horn of retreat sounded, the Jurchen warriors, who were usually extremely brave, turned around and retreated! On the opposite side of the wall, the archers of the Song army shot another sharp shot! The bridge was covered with the corpses of the Jin army, and the Jurchen soldiers who retreated in a hurry did not take a single one! Seeing the retreat of the Jin army, the south bank roared with joy!

Leaving the dissatisfaction with the resentful look on his face, he gritted his teeth, and after the finger generals shouted, the leading generals rushed down to the city angrily. The Han official explained with some schadenfreude: "When you came to the military camp for the Song envoy, you should have beheaded him with a sacrificial flag. It was you who boasted about Haikou and said that you knew the reality of the Great Song Dynasty and could help Dajin. Now, it's time for you to be loyal to Daikin. Before dark tomorrow, the second prince will review the three armies on the south bank. ”

The warlord was shocked when he heard this! All the moments had to move, and all the five were burned, staring at the Han official fiercely and said: "You and I are both Han, why bother to be embarrassed several times?" ”

The Han official's expression changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and sneered: "Although I am a clan, I am also a minister of Dajin, and I am just doing my duty." ”

The general was speechless, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Since the second prince insists on seizing the pontoon bridge, my fate is that before dark tomorrow, the second prince will be able to review the troops on the south bank!" ”

Seeing that he was so sure, Han Guan questioned, "Oh? Would you like to hear more? ”

The general chuckled, left the Han official alone, and went straight down to the city. The Han official was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet and scolded: "The capricious villain dares to be so arrogant!" Those who sell their masters for glory also dare to ......" When the words came to this, they felt bored, so they kept silent and went down to the city.

As night fell, on the south bank barrier, the soldiers of the Jingsui battalion held their weapons with open fire, looking vigilantly at the other side. The noisy shouts of killing have disappeared, and only the roar of the rushing Yellow River has been released. Xu Wei stood on the top of the city, looking at the opposite bank of the Da Pi Mountain, the fire was monstrous, the sky was also reflected red, the Jurchen people's strength far exceeded their own, if it were not for this pontoon bridge, how could the Jingsui battalion block the thunderous blow of the Jin army?

At present, the Jin army is still besieging Taiyuan on the west road, and it will be difficult to capture it in the short term. But in this way, the Song army in the Taiyuan area was restrained, so that they had no time to take care of anything else, and it was impossible for them to rush to the rescue. Now I can only hope for the cultivation of the master, the Jin army does not know my reality, once the planting of the public soldiers arrives, the situation will be greatly alleviated. But before the arrival of the Seed Master, all he could rely on was the more than 7,000 soldiers under his command. What the Jin army is most afraid of now is that when the Jin army sees that the pontoon bridge cannot be captured, they use boats to cross the river. As a result, the Jingsui battalion will have to change from a point of defense to a front line of defense, and the difficulties can be imagined.

It was cold, the guards in the city stomped their feet from time to time, snorting their noses, Xu Wei reached out and patted the shoulder of one of his subordinates, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have worked hard, and after the Jin army withdraws, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

The guards were jubilant, and one of them suddenly asked: "My lord, my department is a township soldier, and I receive half of the food and salary of the Xiang army, but I am desperate to defend the danger, and the imperial court prohibits the army with high salaries and heavy food, but it collapses without a fight, which is really chilling!" ”

Xu Wei looked for prestige and saw that the man was not much older than himself, not tall, and even looked a little thin. It's just that the thick eyebrows are hanging and the face is full of anger, which is daunting. Dressed in armor and carrying a spear, he was looking at himself. I felt a little familiar, and I couldn't remember the name for a while, so I asked, "Name?" Office? ”

The man ran to Xu Wei, bowed his head and said: "The villain Du Feihu was originally a thief of Wang Shan, and then he joined the Jingsui camp, and he has no position. ”

Xu Wei remembered that he led his troops to Shandong to help fight the thieves that day, and this Du Feihu was one of the thieves who ambushed him. After being captured, he refused to kneel, and said that being a thief and a soldier were all the way. At that time, he thought he was a man, so he was enlisted in the army. Unexpectedly, this person was extremely brave, and a few days ago in a field battle with the Jin Army, he slashed eight levels alone! Champion the whole battalion!

"We don't care what happens to others, and we don't care. If this matter hadn't been encountered by the Jingsui camp, since it had been encountered, the Jurchen soldiers would never have been allowed to cross the Yellow River without blood! I know in my heart the grievances of the brethren, but I tell you. Jingsui Camp is fighting to the death here today, not to mention for the country, for the imperial court, which of you has no relatives in the north? If we don't stop the Jurchens from dying north of the Yellow River, if it weren't for me Xu Wei to scare you, you and other parents, wives and children, brothers, sisters, and relatives will all fall under the iron hooves of the Jin people! What kind of virtue are the Jurchens, you have seen it with your own eyes, do you want me to say more? Xu Wei finished speaking. The soldiers at the head of the city were all sad and indignant, and everyone gritted their teeth, saying that they were willing to follow the command and defend to the end.

Du Feihu bowed to the ground and confessed: "The villain talks nonsense and is willing to accept military law." ”

"What you say is true, I don't blame you. In the battle a few days ago, you beheaded the eighth level, brave and fearless. I promoted you to a team general, take care of yourself. Xu Wei instructed.

Du Feihu kowtowed again and again before getting up, Xu Wei encouraged a few words, and was about to go down to the city, when he suddenly saw a few points of fire coming out of Dapi Mountain on the opposite bank and coming straight to the south bank!
