Wanyan Wushu did not expect that the Junzhou Yellow River Bridge still stands proudly on the Yellow River, intact.
According to the estimation of the military advisor Ha Miqi, the Song army was afraid of direct confrontation with the Jin soldiers, and it was very likely that they would burn down the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou as they did last time.
The Yellow River is a strong current, and although it forms a thick layer of ice in winter, the ice layer is uneven, and even the river water is exposed to the ice in very thin places, and the residents along the Yellow River call it "Liangzi".
Therefore, it is unrealistic for a large army to cross the Yellow River directly on the ice, it is too risky and too dangerous to do so; In the event of an ice collapse during the crossing, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
Therefore, no manager dares to take such a risk unless it is absolutely necessary.
The practice of Wanyan Wushu is to deliberately prepare a large number of wooden planks, and when the Junzhou Bridge is really destroyed, the wooden planks will be repaired as soon as possible; After all, the deck of a bridge made of wooden planks is easy to burn, and the base of a bridge made of fine iron and boulder cannot be shaken by ordinary firewood fire
The Junzhou Yellow River Bridge is well preserved, but it arouses the suspicion of Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu is suspicious by nature and cautious in the use of soldiers. When Lu saw such a situation, he first stationed the army. Personally lead a small team of elite soldiers. Go up the bridge to see what happened.
The Yellow River is a hanging river. The riverbed is much higher than the flat land on the shore, and the dikes on both sides of the river hold back the water. Therefore, it is impossible to see the condition of the bridge deck and the situation on the other side without the bridge.
As soon as he got on the bridge, after finishing his Yan Wushu, he saw a person he was most reluctant to meet - Yue Fei
There were different opinions in the Song military camp on how to defend the strategic point of the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, and a considerable number of people agreed to follow the old strategy, directly burn the bridge, and then concentrate their forces to defend it. Do so. At least it can delay the time and rhythm of the Jin soldiers' attack a little.
Regarding this opinion, the old marshal Zongze only used a rhetorical question to refute it.
Zong Ze asked with a smile: "When the Jin soldiers came to attack last year, was this bridge open or disconnected?" ”
What Zong Ze means is that this bridge has burned down once last year, but it still can't stop the pace of Jin Bing, why do we continue to repeat the same mistakes this year?
When Yue Fei saw Zong Ze's eyes fixed on him, he stood up and said his opinion loudly to the generals: "The strength of the golden soldiers lies in their war horses. And the more open the battlefield, the more conducive to the galloping of cavalry. The more open the place of battle, the more conducive it was to the cavalry charge. ”
Say this. Many generals disagreed. This is something that children all know, what is the intrinsic relationship with guarding the bridge?
Seeing this situation, Yue Fei just smiled slightly, and continued: "Although the Junzhou Yellow River Bridge is long, the bridge deck is relatively narrow, and it can accommodate two cavalry at most to charge at the same time. ”
Oh, I see.
Yue Fei has said this, where do you still have a reason that you don't understand.
This bridge deck is actually the advantageous terrain of the Song army! Why couldn't I think of it before, but easily gave up my advantages. The generals in the Song army admired Yue Fei more and more
Wanyan Wushu led a group of close guards on the bridge, and Mu Ran found that there was a man and a rider on the opposite side of the bridge, with round eyes and ring-eyed eyes, and a spear in his hand, murderous, and immediately on the bridge.
It's really a narrow road!
This person is the nemesis of the enemy of Wanyan Wushu - Yue Fei.
Ever since he almost became Yue Fei's prisoner in the Daimyo's Mansion back then, Wanyan Wushu had an inexplicable sense of fear for this Song man.
After several fights, although it was a small fight, no matter how carefully prepared he was and how big his advantage was, he still inevitably suffered losses in the end.
Drugged, set fire, sneak attack, etc., recalling Yue Fei's various methods, Wanyan Wushu's scalp was numb for a while.
Look at the other side of the Yellow River, the flags are unfurled, and the camps are continuous; Based on feeling alone, there are more than 100,000 Song troops stationed at least.
The most important thing is that the barracks of the Song army are neatly arranged, with a clear banner and a strong momentum, which is obviously very different from the Song army encountered before.
After hesitating for a moment, Wanyan Wushu didn't step forward to talk to Yue Fei, and led the guards back to the camp.
That night, Wanyan Wushu made a decision that shocked everyone in the world: withdraw troops overnight.
The most incredible thing is that at the same time as withdrawing the troops, Wanyan Wushu actually sent someone to burn down the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, so that Yue Fei could not pursue the Jin soldiers behind.
Set fire to this trick, don't think that you Song only know it, and Jin Bing also knows how to use it.
In the history of the war between the Song and Jin armies, behaviors such as showing the enemy's weakness and retreating from the battlefield have always been the patent of the Song army; Unexpectedly, this time, when Yan Wushu met Yue Fei after meeting him, he would have such a performance.
History of the Song Dynasty. It is recorded in the "Biography of Zong Ze" that the Jin general Wushu crossed the river and plotted to attack Bianjing. The generals please break the river beam first, the strict soldiers are self-fortified, Ze smiled and said: "Go to winter, the golden horse comes straight and is sitting on the broken river beam." "It is the order of the generals Liu Yan to slip and Liu Da to Zheng, in order to divide the enemy's situation, and to guard the generals to protect Heliang as much as possible, so as to gather the soldiers. When the Jin people heard it, they broke the river beam and fled at night
Jin Bing's first two southern invasions of Kou, the protagonist was Wanyan Wushu, but this time, the situation has changed.
It is completely different from the anticlimactic and half-way abandonment of the Wanyan Wushu West Route Army, this time the East Route Army led by Wanyan Sticky Han is like a bamboo, marching forward and invincible.
First, he captured most of the state capitals such as Ruzhou (present-day Linru, Henan), Dengzhou (present-day Dengzhou, Henan), Xiangyang (present-day Xiangyang, Hubei), Junzhou (present-day Junxian, Hubei), Fangzhou (present-day Fangxian, Hubei), Tangzhou (present-day Tanghe, Henan), Caizhou (present-day Runan, Henan), Chenzhou (present-day Huaiyang County, Henan), and Yingchangfu (present-day Xuchang, Henan).
Then, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Jianyan, the Wanyan Sticky Han Department attacked the territory of Zhengzhou to the east, broke through Baisha Town outside Bianliang City, and reorganized the army in Baisha Town, preparing to attack Bianjing.
Kaifeng Mansion Bianliang City and Baisha Town are only a few dozen miles away, the news came, Bianliang City inside and outside the shock is inexplicable, a voice of mourning.
Miserable, those terrible barbarians are coming back.
For a time, the people in Bianliang City were unstable, prices soared, and public order was chaotic; The rich and the officials began to think about leaving the place and fleeing for the rest of the country.
It is no wonder that the lesson learned from the humiliation of Jingkang last year was too profound, and although a year has passed, the psychology of the people in the city has not yet calmed down, and the shadow still exists.
Helplessly, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion had no choice but to go to the official office of the left-behind division together to see what the left-behind division master had in mind.
Entering the residence of the Left-behind Division, everyone found that Master Zong Ze was actually playing Go with a young man.
When Zong Ze heard everyone's intentions, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, stroked his long beard, and said: "Don't worry, Jin Bing is here to send them to death, and the old man promises that they will not return." ”
History of the Song Dynasty. The Biography of Zong Ze recorded: In the second year, the Jin people arrived in Baisha from Zheng and went to Bianjing Mier, and the people were terrified. The subordinates asked about the plan, Ze Fang played Go to the guest, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Zhang Huang, Liu Yan and others will be able to resist the enemy outside." ”。 (To be continued......)
