Rows of carriages, lined up for several miles, were jolting along the rugged mountain road at the moment, forming a mighty baggage procession. Some of the people were driving the car and were running forward. And 3,000 cavalry opened the way in front, flanked by rows of foot guards.

The three thousand cavalry, all Jurchens, were the elite under the command of Wanyan Muhan; The two thousand foot soldiers are all elite soldiers recruited by Liaodi.

At this moment, they are heading in the direction of Taiyuan, but most of them are weak and listless.

"What an abominable, hot weather! Hedong in June is really hot, as if it is cooked in a steamer! ”

"That bastard, it's really partial, why do so many people want me to escort grain and grass, isn't this bullying me? Delay my chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

And the general of the Jin Army, who was responsible for escorting the grain and grass this time, named Wanyan Donglai, scolded while walking, and his heart was extremely dissatisfied. Although he is a Wanyan surname, he is a partial branch of the Wanyan clan, and he is brave and good at fighting among many generals.

And if you want to get the back cover, if you want to get a beautiful woman, if you want to get gold and silver, if you want to get cattle and sheep, you must have military exploits.

Only with military exploits can you be promoted and your title promoted.

However, somehow, he offended that bastard, demoted him to the cold yamen, and escorted grain and grass to the rear, which made him how to make meritorious contributions.

Depend on! Escorting grain and grass, as long as it is an individual, can escort grain and grass, why do he need elite soldiers to escort it.

3,000 iron cavalry, enough to compete with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song army; Two thousand infantry troops were enough to break through a state of the Song Dynasty. With such a strong strength, it should be to attack the city, sweep away the prefectures and counties near Taiyuan City, or fight a decisive battle with the elite of the Western Army, but at this moment, it was good that he was sent here to escort grain.

There's a for this.

The Jin State was strong, won many battles, killed the Liao State, and beat the Song State to call Dad, and which guy was so bold that he dared to rob the grain and grass of the Jin State.

This is the rear of the Jin army, and along the way, there are only some bandits, or rebels who have robbed grain and grass many times. It's a pity that the combat power is too inferior, Wanyan Donglai sighed secretly, just slapped to death with a slap, it's really boring.

"By the way, if that group of rebel leaders is sent to Marshal Muhan, I don't know how they will reward me?"

Looking at the carriages behind, Wanyan Donglai's heart was hot. That bastard, wanting to calculate him and relegate him to the rear, thought that he would not be able to make meritorious deeds. In the world, there is no such cheap thing. Those bandit leaders are his military exploits. If it weren't for the merits of the war, he would have cut off the heads of those guys a long time ago, would he still keep them?

"It's so hot!"

Born between the white mountains and black waters, Wanyan Donglai still doesn't adapt to the hot weather, but for the sake of gold and silver, for the sake of wealth, he can only endure it.

The weather was too hot, and Wanyan Donglai couldn't stand it, so he simply took off his armor.

…………

Ambush soldiers are distributed in different directions, and the thatch on these ambushes disguises itself exactly like the surrounding weeds, even if it is close at hand, it is impossible to see a trace of strangeness.

Ambush, and most importantly, concealment, can only be victorious if it is concealed and evaded the detection of the enemy. If the concealment is not done properly, it may be ambushed by the enemy, and the light will be a big defeat, and the worst will be the total annihilation.

In order to improve the concealment effect, Zhao Pu asked some hunters in the army, and after their guidance, the simple camouflage made was indeed very good for concealment. This problem has been solved, but a new problem has appeared, the body is covered with thatch, although it is hidden and unique, but it is also the most vulnerable to fire attack, once the fire attack, the fun will be played, it is definitely the material for roast chicken.

In order to prevent fire, a simple cat's ear hole was dug in the ground. Once the enemy is attacked, enter the cat's ear hole to extinguish the fire.

In order to prevent the Jin army from discovering it, he arrived at the ambush site a day in advance, and then crawled in the cat's ear hole, waiting quietly, this is a big summer, the weather is very hot, and then the wet and hot cat's ear hole is carried with it, it doesn't take a moment, it is sweating profusely, but it can only endure.

At this moment, Zhao Pu was holding clairvoyance, observing the Jin army in the distance.

"Sure enough, the most powerful moment, the most relaxed moment, and the most vulnerable moment, I actually took off my armor!" Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The powerful Jin Army is still strong, but it has lost its sense of awe and vigilance.

The tiger took a nap, and then the tiger was not far from death.

Battles do not take place at the expected time and place, but often at unexpected times and in unexpected places.

No one knows when the war will take place?

So be vigilant.

Be in awe of the enemy, who is constantly learning, improving, and may bring defeat or even death.

If you don't want to fail, you don't want to die, so you can be invincible if you keep in awe and keep your humble heart.

Historically, some ace divisions and ace armies of the Kuomintang were often ambushed in the process of marching, and the result was that the whole army was annihilated. These ace divisions and ace armies have powerful machine guns and advanced artillery, but at many moments, the machine guns have not been taken out of the car, the artillery has not been removed from the car, and the shells have not been fired, and they have been devastated by the PLA, and they have either become prisoners or have been blown into corpses.

Because they have advanced weapons, they have less reverence;

Because they have advanced weapons, they are less cautious.

And so, in the end, death, or destruction.

The Jin army is very strong, especially the Jurchen iron cavalry is invincible, the Jurchen is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible. Because of their strength and invincibility, the Jurchens also had less awe and vigilance, and in the process of marching, most of the cavalry took off their armor and threw them on the carriage, and only a small number of cavalry wore battle armor. The infantry also took off the bowstrings of their bows and arrows and put them in the baskets.

"The armor is very heavy, the light armor has more than a dozen catties, the heavy armor has dozens of catties, and the armor is draped on the body in the summer, it is too stuffy, it is simply torture. In summer, the weather is hot and humid, and the bowstring is most likely to become damp and loose! At this time, Zhao Da, a demonstrator on the side, explained, "This is not only the case for the Jin army, but also for our army!" ”

"That's not the reason!" Zhao Pu took a deep breath and said, "Losers don't need a reason!" ”

The enemy is lax, and this is precisely his chance; If the enemy does not make mistakes, this battle is really a bit hanging.

"Since the enemy is lax, let's attack!" Zhao Pu looked at the battlefield and said quietly.

He is only the supervisor of the army, just the commander of this battle, and he is still responsible for the specific battle on the battlefield and the specific execution of the battle! Overstepping one's authority is not a good sign; In the same way, he is a prince, and it is impossible to come forward to fight, no one will allow it. All he needs to do is watch the battle end, or run away when the battle is unfavorable

……………………

The weather in June was very hot, and the heavy rain that had fallen a few days ago made it particularly uncomfortable for people walking on the road.

If you are a local who has been in Hedong for a long time, or if you are from Henan and other places, you can bear it; But for the Jurchens from the northeast, this is no less than a torture, even if they are resting in the shade of a tree, with cool shade to take advantage of, it is still uncomfortable. And more soldiers can only guard the scorching heat.

At noon, between twelve and two o'clock is precisely the hottest time, and during this time, the grain transport team, which has been marching for a long time, begins to rest, gnaws dry food, holds water bags and drinks water, and is a little sluggish.

At this moment, there were only a small number of Jurchen cavalry wandering around, scouting the enemy.

At this time, it was the most lax and exhausting moment for the Jurchen army, and it was also the best moment for Zhao Pu's eight thousand elite to attack.

One by one, the moving robes are constantly advancing, relying on the cover of obstacles, constantly approaching forward, shortening the distance to the enemy. Only by shortening the attack distance, launching a surprise attack, relying on more people to bully fewer people, relying on the mandarin duck array to be invincible in close combat, and invincible in group beatings, can it be possible to defeat the enemy.

Otherwise, Zhao Pu really has no bottom in his heart.

The Mandarin Duck Formation, although powerful, but not invincible, once the enemy relies on the grain cart to cast a simple fortification, the spear is defended at a close distance, and the bow and arrow are attacked from afar, the Mandarin Duck Formation will immediately fall into a passive state, and fall into a stalemate.

And most importantly, Zhao Pu was extremely suspicious of the combat power of the Song army.

The family army is not as good as the Qi family army, and Wang Yan is not as good as Qi Jiguang, eight thousand against five thousand, it seems to have an advantage, who knows if there will be an accident in the middle.

But even if you are not at ease, even if you are worried, it can only be a war.

And at this moment, some elite soldiers also quickly attacked to hunt the scouts of the Jin people. Hiding is important, but no matter how good the hiding is, it can't stand the meticulous scout, and only by hunting the scout can the exposure be minimized.

As for these hunters, they are strong soldiers recommended by Wang Yan, most of them are from Orion, and they are proficient in digging traps and trapping prey. Later, after joining the army, he also played the role of a scout. It's just that at this moment, their role has changed, and they are no longer scouts, but are responsible for hunting scouts and killing their peers.

A Jin army scout cavalry walked and walked, the foot of the war horse stepped on a big pit, the horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, the Jurchen cavalry hurriedly grabbed the reins and shook his body so that he did not fall to the ground. But at this moment, Song Bing, who was hiding in the shadows, made a move, and the flying knife in his hand flew out, pierced his throat, and fell to the ground, dead.

In other directions, the soldiers of the Song army also took action one after another, solving the scout cavalry in their own ways.
