Chapter 194: A False Shot

Huang Yan led the main force of Qin Fengjun to arrive outside the city of Huazhou on the third day of the first month of April, this place is the place where the Jin army is stationed, and it is also where Tongguan is located, Tongguan is lost, then the Central Plains door is wide open, over the years, the Mongolian army has attacked this place many times, but often because the Jin army desperately blocked, so that the Mongolian army returned in vain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Now the Song army is also involved in this war, and the three forces are staggered together, which makes the situation in this area much more serious.

When Huang Yan led the army out of Xi'an and approached Huazhou, the scouts of the Jin State continued to appear on the horizon, monitoring the movements of the Song army, and even occasionally the Mongolian army rangers, looking at the Song army's army from a distance, and after the Song army's scouts rushed over, they immediately turned their horses and disappeared into the Song army's field of vision.

"This battle is not easy to fight! I said Vice Marshal Hua, at present, there are more than 20,000 Jin troops stationed in Huazhou, and it can be said that they are all the elite of the Jin country, and we are only more than 30,000 people, and it may not be easy to defeat Huazhou! Huang Yan sat in the saddle and shook his head and said to Hua Yue, who was accompanying him eastward.

"I don't doubt this, otherwise Lord Gao wouldn't have let your brother do this!" Hua Yue's body also rose and fell with the movement of the war horse, and he turned his head to Huang Yan and said with a smile...

Huang Yan looked bitter and then muttered: "You really look up to me Huang someone!" Let me do such a difficult thing! You should give me more troops!

I said, isn't it a bit wrong for us to do this? In my opinion, we should gather our forces and attack into the Central Plains from the three routes! How could they be so dispersed? The boss doesn't know what to think! Huang Yan was also open-mouthed about Hua Yue, and directly questioned Gao Huaiyuan's plan to attack the Jin Kingdom this time.

"Don't you doubt our judgment?" Hua Yue turned his head and squinted at Huang Yan, who didn't have any positive image, and his expression became serious.

"Don't dare! How dare I doubt your judgment! Let me think about it! What the hell are you going to do!

Well! According to your plan, this must be the boss's idea! The boss must want to make the surrounding areas of the Jin Kingdom bloom in all directions, so that they can't take care of each other, no matter if they break through in a short period of time, they can directly attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, so that they can't take care of each other!

Well! I should have guessed that I couldn't be wrong! The boss must have thought so! Our Qinfeng Road attack on two ways should be a virtual and a real move, attacking Yan'an Mansion is a real move, and our attack on Huazhou should be a false move, right! Huang Yan half-closed his eyes and continued to shake his head on the horse. Hua Yue looked at Huang Yan's expression, the expression on his face also relaxed, and he showed a slight smile.

"Then why does General Huang think that our visit to Hezhong Mansion this time is a false move?" Hua Yue asked Huang Yan.

"Of course! The thing is obvious! Speaking of which, the first thing we are dealing with this time is the Jin State, but why do we have to send troops to fight Yan'an Mansion first?

The Mongolian army is now gathering heavy troops in the area of Hezhong Mansion, and the loss of Yan'an Mansion is not good news for the Mongolian army, once our army marches east from Yan'an Mansion and crosses the Yellow River, then the Mongolian army may be cut off at any time!

However, the order given to me by Vice Marshal Hua was to rush to Hezhong Mansion first, if I did this, I would not be able to storm Huazhou, and when I arrived at Hezhong Mansion, it would be impossible to cooperate with the Mongol army to attack Hezhong Fu, in fact, to put it bluntly, I was going to attack Jin State all the way, and it was better to help Jin State contain the Mongolian army!

Wrong! Wrong! Vice Marshal Hua! Something is wrong with this! Your appetite is a little too big! Speaking of this, Huang Yan opened his eyes violently, looked at Hua Yue, and asked Hua Yue in some surprise...

The smile on Hua Yue's face became a little thicker, and after looking at Huang Yan for a long time, he suddenly laughed: "It's really handsome, and he didn't see the wrong person!" You Huang Yan is really a capable member! You've seen through it! ā€

"I said Vice Marshal Hua, it's not moral for you to do this! You have such a deep plan, and you are still hiding it from me, if I am not smart enough, I will really fall for you!

Your ambitions are really big enough, and what you are thinking about is not Tongguan, but the entire Pingyang Mansion in Hedong! Oh, my God! I almost fell for you! Huang Yan completely understood the original intention of this plan formulated by Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue...

It turned out that Huayue and their orders to send Qin Fengjun to Hezhong Mansion this time were not to fight Hezhong Mansion at all, but to drag the main force of the Mongolian army here, and then cross the river from the direction of Yan'an Mansion, and directly approach Pingyang Mansion, which was already controlled by the Mongols, to cut off the retreat of the Mongolian army, and then annihilate or consume a main force of the Mongolian army here! At the same time, it also ensured that the Mongol army could not attack the land of Shangluo from Hezhong Province, and ensured that Henan Province (Luoyang) was not invaded by Mongolian soldiers and horses!

This grand strategy Hua Yue didn't tell Huang Yan and Yue Kun at all when he came, but now he was actually guessed by Huang Yan. "Haha! Not bad! General Huang is really smart! Indeed it is! ......" Hua Yue finally laughed out loud.

Under the command of the Song army, the defenders of the Jin army took the initiative to abandon the county seat of Weinan and set fire to the county seat, and then coerced tens of thousands of people to retreat to Huazhou.

Huang Yan did not lead the army to chase after these Jin troops, but fell behind them and constantly put pressure on them with his rangers, driving them to retreat in the direction of Tongguan...

Along the way, the Jin army escorted a large number of ordinary people who were forced to move eastward, as well as the families of officials, who retreated, and the roads were littered with all kinds of soft things, and fled to Tongguan like a torrent.

Huang Yan simply ordered no one in the whole army to pick up the property discarded by the Jin people on the side of the road, and hurried forward in great strides, leaving only a battalion of hundreds of officers and soldiers, with 2,000 auxiliaries along the way to collect these things, so that the Jin army fled in a hurry.

After nightfall on the ninth day of the fourth month, the Song army entered forty miles west of Huazhou City.

At this time, the Huazhou guard general is the general of the Jin State, Wanyan Heda, this person has served in the army since he was a teenager, and now he has become a rare fierce general in the Jin State, and it is Wanyan Heda who has guarded the Tongguan area for these years, so that the Mongolian army can not cross the Tongguan half a step, and the luck of the Jin State can continue for several years.

This time, after he heard the news that the Song army was going to oppose the Jin State, he immediately gathered the troops in Huazhou and Tongguan, and Chen stationed heavy troops inside and outside Huazhou City, ready to defend Huazhou, he also knew that the Song army had become much stronger in recent years, so he did not dare to underestimate the Song army, and even took the initiative to give up Weinan County, so that the Weinan defenders also retreated to Huazhou, and strengthened the defense force of Tongguan.

When the scout cavalry reported that the Song army's advance had reached dozens of miles west of Huazhou, he immediately ordered preparations for battle, ready to meet the Song army under the city of Huazhou at any time, and sent more scouts to the west of Huazhou to inquire about the news of the Song army. On the afternoon of the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, the scout suddenly rushed back to the city of Huazhou and reported an important news to Wanyan Heda.

"Enlightened handsome! The Song army suddenly turned east of Weinan County last night and headed straight for Tongzhou (now Dali County)! Please, the marshal! The scout knelt down in front of Wanyan Heda with a dusty face, and reported to Wanyan Heda.

After Yan Heda heard this, he immediately stood up and exclaimed, "What did you say?" Did the Song army turn to Tongzhou? ā€

"Enlightened handsome! According to the small ones, you can't go wrong! The Song army did leave last night, and after dawn, the Song army camp had become an empty camp, and the small ones even entered the camp to investigate, and the Song army had indeed turned to the direction of Tongzhou! The scout replied on his knees with an oath...

Wanyan Heda was a little dizzy suddenly, this time the Song army sent troops, since he below almost all the Jin generals agreed that the main direction of the Song army's attack this time should be Huazhou and Tongguan, is to break through Tongguan, enter the hinterland of the Central Plains and approach Henan Mansion (Luoyang), they have made all kinds of preparations for this, and plan to give the Song army a head-on attack in Huazhou.

But he never imagined that the Song army suddenly turned to the direction of Tongzhou, and this situation was much more than they expected.

"What is Song Jun going to do? Why did they suddenly move to the same state? Wanyan Heda's anxious subordinate generals asked.

Wanyan Heda didn't understand, and the generals under him didn't understand, a group of people stood on the lobby of the Huazhou Mansion and looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what kind of medicine Song Jun was selling in this gourd.

In the end, it was Wanyan Yi (Wanyan Chen Monk) who thought for a while and then came out and replied: "Handsome! I thought that the Song army suddenly turned around, could it be that he wanted to cross the Yellow River to Hezhongfu? ā€

This sentence reminded Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Heda immediately realized the problem, quickly unfolded the map to watch, frowned and said: "Now that the Mongolian army has entered the area of Hezhong Mansion, the Song army does not take the opportunity to attack Tongguan at this time, but what are you going to do in Hezhong Mansion?" Could it be that they still want to cross the Yellow River twice and attack Hangu Pass from behind our army?

That's not right! With the current relationship between the Mongols and the Song people, there is no reason for them to join forces with the Mongol army to attack Hezhong Province! ā€

The more Yan Heda thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and he couldn't make up his mind when he was lying on the map and comparing the strokes. . .

"Handsome! The lowly is willing to ask for an order to go to the same state to help the defenders of the same state! Wan Yan Yi came out of the queue with his fists and asked Wan Yan Heda for an order.

Wanyan Heda couldn't figure out Song Jun's purpose, and couldn't make a decision for a while, shook his head and said, "No!" There are less than 3,000 defenders in Tongzhou at the moment, and even if you go to Tongzhou now, I'm afraid it won't be too late to assist the imperial defense of Tongzhou! The Song army's march this time is very fast, I'm afraid that if you don't wait for you to reach Tongzhou, Tongzhou will already be lost! No matter how fast you are, you won't be able to catch up with the Song army!

This official suspects that the Song army is a plan to attack the east and the west, that is, to sneak attack Tongguan from the side and attract us to divide our troops to Tongzhou to rescue, no! At present, the key for us is to guard Huazhou and Tongguan, and there must be no loss here! Let's see what Song Jun plans to do first!

Pass my order, no one is allowed to attack privately, our priority is to defend this place, even if the state is lost, as long as Tongguan is not lost, there will be no big problem in my Jin country! ā€

Wan Yan Yi had to be ordered to retreat, and the rest of the Jin generals also received orders, Wan Yan Yi is a fierce general, they are not a fierce general, they have fought a lot of battles with the Mongolian army over the years, and it is already good to be able to leave this life, and then go to play with the Tongzhou and Song army, there are really few people who have this idea...

Tongzhou City is only left with 3,000 old and weak soldiers, and the guard general Liu Zuoyong is also panicking all these days, he is afraid that at this time there will be a Mongolian army or a Song army to attack Tongzhou, and he will get drunk every day, and he will scold Yan Heda bastard after lying down, leaving him with such a little soldiers and horses to guard Tongzhou City...

Liu Zuoyong was originally a Han Chinese, although he joined the army in his early years, but he was not treated by the Jurchen generals, and he could not enter the core of Wanyan Heda at all, and he was never taken seriously, this time Wanyan Heda heard that the Song army was going to attack Huazhou, so he transferred a large number of defenders from the surrounding state capitals and counties to Huazhou to garrison, which resulted in the emptiness of many surrounding states and counties, and most of the guards guarding these places were Han, because Wanyan Heda no longer trusted these Han generals since he lost Qin Fenglu, afraid of them and the Song people**, betrayed the interests of the Jin State, so Liu Zuoyong was also one of them, so it was naturally impossible to be transferred back to Huazhou to garrison.

Now that Liu Zuoyong heard that the Song army was attacking in the direction of Huazhou, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there should be no danger in Tongzhou, and his vigilance was immediately relaxed.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Liu Zuoyong was drunk just at noon, returned to the mansion and lay down to sleep, but was woken up by his subordinates after a short time.

Liu Zuoyong scolded drunkenly: "Why are you so flustered? Could it be that the Song army came to attack Tongzhou? ā€

One of his subordinates shouted to him in a panic: "General, something is wrong! The Song army has really come to attack Tongzhou! Now the Song Army striker is almost at the West Gate! Hurry up and get an idea! ā€

Liu Zuoyong felt as if a thunderclap sounded in his ears, and he jumped from the bed to the ground after a moment's shock, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and most of the wine woke up, and in a panic, he grabbed the front placket of this pro-soldier and asked, "What did you say?" The Song army is coming? Is this true? ā€

Seeing that the soldiers were about to cry, they shouted, "General, how dare such a big and small thing lie!" The Song army is indeed about to go outside the city of Tongzhou! I hope the general will make a quick decision! ā€

Liu Zuoyong sat back on the bed as if he had been punched, and after a while, he jumped up and ran towards the outside of the house, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up and get to the city, hurry!" Close the gates and pull up the drawbridge! Be quick! ā€

"General! You're putting on your shoes! The soldiers chased Liu Zuoyong out of the back with his boots.

Liu Zuoyong found that he was still barefoot, so he hurriedly sat on the steps at the door and kicked on his boots, and before he even had time to put on his armor, he ran towards the west gate in a panic with his own soldiers in the house.

When Liu Zuoyong, who was full of alcohol, appeared on the tower of the West Gate City, he put his hand on the pergola and looked out of the city, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, only to see that an army holding high the banner of the Song character on the west road outside the city was constantly moving towards Tongzhou City, and the Song army on the road was almost impossible to see at a glance.

Liu Zuoyong was dumbfounded......

On the morning of the ninth day of the fourth month, Liu Zuoyong opened the west gate, personally went out of the city to the front of the Song camp, presented his big seal, announced that he led the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender to the Song army, and the city of Tongzhou surrendered without a fight under the Song army, and the Song army took over the defense of the entire Tongzhou city on the same day, and the army drove towards the bank of the Yellow River.
