Chapter 456: Indecided
After receiving Huining's reply, he quickly put it into action, and killed the Tatar camp on a snowy night. This article was written by...... And Wu Wuzhen thought that he had left the territory of the Jin State and entered the buffer zone demarcated by the Song and Jin countries, and the Jin army did not dare to trespass; Moreover, although he made contact with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, he only stayed at the stage of reaching a cooperation intention, and even reached the point of bargaining, but he high-profile propaganda that the cooperation between the two countries was also to pull the banner as a tiger skin, so that the Jurchens were afraid.
The contempt really thought that with these two talismans, he could sit back and relax, and the Jurchens did not make any big moves during this period of time, so that the Tatars gradually relaxed their vigilance, and they did not expect that it was because of his high profile that the Jurchens made up their minds to get rid of them. And the wind and snow in the sky became the best cover for the Jin army, and when they surrounded the camp of the Vulti tribe in the bare and black sky, the Tatars did not notice it.
The Bald Black Vulti were the largest tribe among the six Tatars, and the strongest were the leaders, and it was through this that the Vultures really became Tatar Khan. When the sentry ranger cash army arrived, the enemy had already arrived, and the Wuzhen hurriedly gathered an army to meet the battle, but now he lost the opportunity and was besieged by the Jin army.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Wuzhen gathered his troops, which can be described as a huge loss, not only the family members were captured by the Jurchens, but also the baggage, livestock, women and children were all plundered by the Jin army. In addition to being angry, he summoned the rest of the troops to fight the Jin army several times, but the result was that the soldiers were lost, and the loss could not even lift the pants. Pursued by the Jin army, he fled westward, and at the same time sent people to Linhuang Mansion to express his willingness to join and ask for an army to rescue. Da Song's side is giving face. He repeatedly sent envoys to the Jin State to strongly condemn them for sending troops into the grasslands without permission, and asked them to withdraw their troops immediately. But the reinforcements did not send a single man or horseman.
Seeing that the Great Song Dynasty expressed such a word, he knew that what he wanted was a strong Tatar army. Instead of a lost dog that has to be raised by himself, now the Tatars have been greatly injured, the Great Song Dynasty has given up on them, and will not send troops to interfere, and in the future it will be just a war of words between the two countries on how to divide the grassland, which makes him less worried, more courageous, and the pursuit of annihilation is more unscrupulous.
The Tatars continued to move under the pursuit of the Jin army, and some of their troops were scattered in flight. Some were killed, and the population was getting smaller and smaller, and now there were less than 2,000 tents left. The Jurchens' pleas for peace were denied, and if they fled north to a colder place, they would freeze and starve to death, and their only chance of survival was to venture into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. So he decided to lead the remnants of the Talu River to the south, wanting to cross the boundary river in the middle reaches of the Hun River and enter the Linhuangfu area of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fighting the tiger does not die but is bitten by the tiger, and the servants are very aware of this truth, and now they have formed a mortal enmity with the Tatars, if they cannot completely annihilate them. Once they breathe a sigh of relief, there will be endless troubles. So he led the army in hot pursuit, wanting to annihilate all the Tatars, and must not give them a chance to turn over. The Tatars fled without their lives, and the Jurchens chased with their lives, and the two armies were no more than half a day's distance apart. Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the servants. On this day, the former army finally bit the tail of the contemptuous spirit.
Wu Zhen panicked and did not say hello and led his troops to cross the border and enter the Great Song Dynasty on the glacier, and the Jin army, which was closely chasing, knew the consequences of crossing the border, but victory was in sight. As long as you grasp the contempt for the truth, it is a great achievement, and it can seal ten thousand households. And there is no permanent garrison of the Great Song Dynasty here. Only the occasional patrol passed by, so they finally followed the river with luck. Fifty miles deep into the Song Realm, he caught up with the exhausted remnants of Tatar, surrounded and fought for a while, and Wu Zhen was cut off his head.
And just when this Jin army was carrying the head of the vulture, cleaning up the battlefield and escorting the prisoners to return, suddenly a Great Song border guard appeared and blocked their way. The general of the Jin army who led the troops knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't want to be captured by the Song army, so he led his troops to break through, and the two armies inevitably clashed. The border defense of the Song army was generally defended by the state army under the road, and their equipment was much worse than that of the forbidden army, while the Jin army was so powerful that they could not stop it, and they asked for help from the forbidden army stationed nearby while reporting.
After receiving the news that most of the Jin army had crossed the border and killed and wounded dozens of defenders, the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Krüd Army stationed nearby quickly rushed to join the battle group. When the Jin Army Brigade learned that the front army was blocked on the east bank of the Hunhe River, the servants quickly led the army to meet it, rescued it and retreated to the boundary trench. The Song army was unwilling to give up, and Zhao Li was deployed in the northwest to immediately rush to the front line of Linhuangfu, and ordered most of the Kryu army in Dading, as well as the Longyi Army and the Lion Wing Army to march to the border of Linhuangfu.
Seeing the large-scale transfer of the Song army to the border, Fusan Zhongyi also hurriedly mobilized troops to prepare for war in case of accidents, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to say that he had entered the Song realm by mistake and was willing to compensate for the losses. The Song Dynasty did not recognize this explanation, and demanded that the murderers of the Great Song Dynasty border guards be handed over and severely punished, otherwise the use of force would not be ruled out. After the Jin side refused to ask, the Song army shelled the border fortresses along the Jin State that night, causing heavy casualties to them, and in retaliation, the Jin army also bombarded the border posts of the Song Dynasty with trebuchets......
"Marshal, now the conflict is mainly born in the Hunhe area, the 30,000 cavalry led by the servant scattered and loyal to sit in Taizhou to respond to the left and right, and the front is defended by the general Wanyan Yulie with 50,000 troops defending from Hutun Fort in the south, and more than 100 miles of defense line in the north to Mantou Mountain, they take the boundary trench as a risk, and rely on more than ten fortresses to hold on, and choke the road to Taizhou and Changchun Prefecture." Dading's pacification envoy Zheng Ping introduced the current battle situation to Zhao Li.
"How is our army arranged?" Zhao Li found various points on the map and asked.
"Marshal, the fort along the border is now defended by the state army, and the five brigades of the Krüd army are arranged at intervals of ten miles behind it to deal with sudden incidents. The Dragon Wing Army was temporarily stationed in Yongzhou, the Lion Wing Army was stationed in Longhua, and the Dragon General and the Lion General had just arrived in Ningzhou according to His Majesty's arrangement. Zheng Ping reported.
"Well, let the two armies of Longyi and Lion Wing, as well as the 1st and 2nd Artillery Brigades rush to Fort Weilu on the Hunhe River, and the 1st Brigade of Baggage will escort supplies and siege equipment to follow up." Zhao Li pointed his finger at Wai Fort and said.
"Dashuai, are we going to fight, won't the dragon general and the lion general participate in the war?" Zheng Ping's eyes lit up and asked, Weiyu Fort and Jin Guoning Border Fort across the river control the main road from Linhuang Mansion to Changchun Prefecture, and now the marshal has deployed heavy troops here, and it must be to open up the road deep into Jin State.
"The fight is to be fought, but not now, the main thing at present is to mobilize the servants to come and create an opportunity for the dragon generals and lion generals to make a detour behind them and attack Changchun Prefecture." Zhao Li said.
"Marshal, what if the Jin Army's Zuo Marshal's Mansion or Huining Mansion send reinforcements, we can't eat them with our troops." Zheng Ping was both excited and worried.
"The dragon and the lion are not dry food! Fusan Zhongyi has not moved in Taizhou for a long time, because he is worried that we will go straight to Huining Mansion through the grassland, and Wushu is not stupid, how can he send reinforcements when our movements are unknown, there are Gao Shuai in the south to deal with it, and they are only afraid that they are still asking for reinforcements from Fusan Zhongyi! Zhao Li said with a smile.
"We are going to advance in two ways, and the Jin army does not dare to move on both sides, as long as they retreat all the way, they will expose their flanks, worried that we will take advantage of it, isn't this the truth!" Zheng Ping said.
"Hehe, this still depends on the exhibition of the shape shì, waiting for His Majesty's order!" Zhao Li didn't say it explicitly, and said with a smile.
"Could it be that His Majesty wants to be in person?" Zheng Ping looked left and right, approached Zhao Li and asked in a low voice.
"Such a lively thing, do you think Your Majesty Xià can not be mixed with a kick!" Zhao Li said.
"That's not right, yesterday Shang Hu and Zhao Xiao were still shouting that their majesty was going to marry their daughter next month, so that everyone could make up the money!" Zheng Ping thought about it and felt that it was wrong, and asked softly.
"Hehe, the congratulatory table must be on it, and the princess's marriage is also true, and your majesty will know the truth when you arrive!" Zhao Li squeezed his eyes and said.
"Oh, I see, His Majesty is attacking the east and west, so that the Jurchens still think that there will be no full-scale conflict, and buy time for the transfer of troops to the south!" Zheng Ping said suddenly.
"It's good to know, we haven't fought under the personal command of His Majesty for many years, think about it, it's been nearly thirty years since we first went to the battlefield in Hedong!" Zhao Li said with some emotion.
"That is, we have no more than 3,000 soldiers, I'm just a small capital, you still march to join the army, Your Majesty is still often mixed with us in the army, saying that you want to lead us to sweep the world, destroy the Western Xia, Liao and eat mutton all day long, but everyone believes that there will be that day, I didn't expect Your Majesty to really do it!" Zheng Ping said with a smile.
"I'm afraid this is also the last battle that His Majesty can personally lead the troops!" Zhao Li sighed and said wistfully, who doesn't miss the days when they were young, but the battlefield is far away from them, and the days of crisscrossing the field side by side with His Majesty will become a memory......
While the Song generals were guessing when the emperor would order the time for a full-scale attack, Wushu was also analyzing the current situation. There are war reports in the Right Marshal's Mansion every day, and now the Linhuang Mansion has gathered the soldiers of the five generals of the Song Dynasty's forbidden army, with a total strength of more than 100,000, and the pressure of the servants and Zhongyi has increased, and he thinks that the Song Dynasty may take advantage of the incident that the Jin army strayed into its territory to provoke a full-scale war, and asked for additional reinforcements and supplementary supplies.
Wushu was also a little hesitant at this time, such a large-scale transfer of the Song army was not like just intimidation, and the conflict on the western border was also intensifying. What puzzled him was that the southern border was as usual, calm and unbelievable, not to mention that the demonstration did not even increase the strength of the strongholds along the border, and the forbidden troops of the various towns and towns, which were the main forces of the campaign, did not leave the camp.
"Could it be that the Song army is just going to fight a local war in the northwest, with the purpose of destroying our boundary trenches and seizing the grasslands!" Wushu couldn't make a judgment on Song Jun's arrangement for a while, and couldn't think of what Zhao Er was going to do...... (To be continued......)
