Volume 9 Saving the Sky Chapter 800 [Tiger's Den Dragon Pool]
The Jin army can travel an average of 100 miles a day, and it only took half a day to come to Guantao after leaving the Daimyo's Mansion in the north, but now it is blocked by Huang Jie. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
To the north of Guantao, in addition to the straight road of Linqing, it is not impossible to take a detour, but the news that Huang Jie asked Zong Bi to bring back, saying that the seed master and Zhi Keshi were waiting in Julu and Xia Jin respectively, still made Zong Wang's heart abrupt.
But he also said that in the temporary military tent on the side, Zong Wang was holding a horse whip behind his back, looking at a sheepskin map in the tent and frowning silently, and the generals under his command were either sitting on the ground, or talking to each other in groups of three or two, and the atmosphere was very boring for a while.
Soon, I could hear the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, but when I saw Yinshuke, the general in Zong Han's army, walking in quickly, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said to Zong Wang: "Hu Lu Bu, I just heard your message, and hurriedly sent out a lookout post to investigate in all directions, and sure enough, I found the Song army's lookout post fifty miles away, and they were all hanging far away, and they left at a touch. ”
Zong Wang's brows were already furrowed, and when he heard this, his face was even more gloomy, so he pointed to the map and said, "You pointed it out, but where did you meet the Song army detective post." ”
Immediately, Yinshu Ke also stepped forward and pointed to the map to explain, but saw that with Guantao as the center, Wei County in the southwest, Pingen in the northwest, Tangyi in the northeast and Guanxian in the southeast all found the Song army's sentinels, and according to the feedback of the Jin army's sentinels, these sentry detectives were not like the Song army sentry spies they had encountered before, but hung far away, and they were not scattered when they were found, and their advance and retreat were extremely moderate.
After this Zongwang led the army across the Yellow River, he made the golden cicada out of its shell, and discarded a large number of silk, grain, grass and even cattle and sheep on the bank, and then also waved the army to the north, and directly threw off the Song army that crossed the river without a shadow. And after his army crossed the river, all the way along Huazhou, Puyang, Neihuang and other places went straight to the city of the Daimyo's mansion, along the way the states and counties of the Song Kingdom were closed city gates, a strict defense look, never saw that there was the spare strength to send troops to intercept, so now found that the situation is really faintly surrounded by the Song army, Zong Wang is naturally very confused.
After listening to Yinshuke's introduction, Zong Wang also turned back to Zong Bi and asked, "Wuzhu, tell me, how many people and horses are in Huang Jie's camp, and what are his plans?" ”
Zong Bi came up, and also pointed to the location of Linqing County marked on the map, and said straightly: "Last night, I led the army to investigate, and I saw a sentry post being built by the Song army here. I don't know what tricks Huang Jie used, but he hid thousands of men and horses in the soil around the outpost...... Later, I was defeated and captured, so I was also taken to the camp by him, and his camp should also be in front of Linqing County, but it was built with the Song chariots seen under the city of Tokyo, and when I returned, I was quietly counted, and there were no less than five or six thousand men and horses in the camp. ”
"As for Huang Jie's plot...... Zong Bi said here, but he paused and said: "I really can't see it, he said at the time, the king of Song and the prime minister can let go, if not, kill it, but said that as long as our army leaves gold, silver and money, you can let me go and return to the north." ”
Zong Wang was also puzzled when he heard it, although he was also surprised when he heard what Zong Bi brought in the morning, but now he didn't find anything wrong when he listened to it for a while. It's just that when he was still thinking about what Huang Jie's plans were, he heard Zong Han say a little impatiently: "No matter what he has planned, but with only five or six thousand people, what if he has 10,000 elite soldiers?" Don't rub it off, it's better to wave the army and directly break through his camp. ”
When Zong Wang heard this, he glared and said, "Sticky Han, you haven't been to the city of Tokyo, so naturally you haven't suffered the loss of the Song army's chariot. Do you know that the Song army's chariot is also equipped with a bed crossbow, which can also shoot crossbow arrows more than a thousand steps away? ”
Zong Han was stunned when he heard this, but he still stiffened his neck and said: "What if there are bed crossbows, there are also a lot of bed crossbows in Taiyuan Mansion and Longde Mansion, and they still tell me to fight down?" ”
When Zong Wang heard this, his brows furrowed and relaxed, but he also made up his mind, and when he shook the horsewhip in his hand slightly, he pointed at Zong Han and said, "It's okay!" Zong Han, you will lead 10,000 horses to break through Huang Jie's car formation and see if it succeeds! ”
Zong Han immediately clenched his fists and shouted an order, and then rushed away angrily, and as soon as he walked on the front foot, Zong Wang pointed to Yinshuke and said: "Yinshuke, you also led 10,000 horses, but you are going to the northeast along Tangyi and Liaocheng to Xiajin to see if there is really an ambush of the Song army. ”
After Yinshuke received the order, Zong Wang summoned a general named Ba Moli to also lead 10,000 troops, but he went to Ping'en, Quzhou, and Pingxiang in the northwest to Julu, and the order given to him was also to fight when he met a small group of Song troops, and to withdraw when he met a large group of Song troops.
After sending these two teams to explore the way, Zong Wang also ordered the three armies to slowly go to Linqing. Now that the army is returning to the north, it is like an arrow on the string, it is not easy to turn, and it is impossible to retreat, even if it stands still, it will hurt morale, so Zong Wang simply pressed the whole army up to see if Huang Jie was a tiger's den or a dragon pond under Linqing City.
This Zong Wang first sent 10,000 horses led by Zong Han to explore the way, and he led the whole army to press, and as soon as his army moved, Huang Jie also got the news.
Linqing City to the south ten miles, is a radius of not less than a thousand acres of shallow flat depression between the river, this land is gentle and narrow, the west is the imperial river, the east is the ancient canal, the width of the east and west is about six miles, and the north and south are also ten miles or so, Huang Jie's one hundred and twenty heavy armored chariots set up a small cart formation here as a temporary camp.
Just when Huang Jie learned that the Jin army that had already traveled to Guantao stopped and went on the road again, he also ordered the chariot formation to be unwound, and lined up along the east-west direction, arranging one hundred and twenty heavily armored chariots into a chariot array with a width of nearly 500 zhang, blocking all the roads.
This horizontal chariot was originally a standard length of three zhang six zhang, and counting the walls made of armor plates on the vehicle, as well as a two-zhang square grooved artillery position in the back of every three chariots, it was not reluctant for one hundred and twenty chariots to make a battle formation of five hundred zhang.
However, there are not many Huangzhou guards stationed on these 500-zhang vehicle formation, and the average car is only two squads of 12 people, plus one squad of artillery on each of the 66 artillery positions, adding up to only 2,000 people.
As for Huang Jie's side, except for six of the thirteen Taibao and Jiao Ting and Xu Ning, who had recently joined the guard, the rest of the people were gone, and there was not a single war horse in the car formation, so they must have been sent elsewhere by Huang Jie.
I'm afraid that Zong Wang wants to break his head, and he can't think of Huang Jie using only two thousand people to really arrange a Longtan tiger's den with him waiting for him to break through.
