Chapter 226: Wanting to Refuse and Welcome
As a result, the two sides have been in a stalemate for the last 10 days or so.
However, Liu Chengru, under the command of Wanyan Zongfu, went south to attack the two cities of Heng and Fu, which had opened the way for the Jin army's strategy to cross the river this time.
Since the Jin army dared to send 30,000 people into the hinterland, what does this mean?
It shows that the signal of a full-scale onslaught by the army of the Jin State has appeared.
The old general Zong Ze stood in front of the map of the Great Song Dynasty and watched for a long time.
In his opinion, the most efficient way now is the one they had jointly negotiated with His Majesty before.
Quickly let Li Gang strengthen the defense of the Cangzhou military town.
Withdraw all the combatants who were in the theater of about 200 miles between Zongze's defense line and Li Gang's defense line.
Then the walls were cleared, and the city was held.
In other words, the Song army was ready to give the Jin army the area with a length of 200 li.
Let their people be trapped between the Zong Ze defense line and Li Gang's defense line.
Then wait for the situation of the battle to change, if it goes well, the 300,000 men of the Northwest Army will be able to complete the encirclement of the Jin Army on three sides.
Drive them directly to the East China Sea......
"Order, send this army report to Bianliang City as soon as possible, and hand it over to Your Majesty in person."
Zong Ze gave the order and arranged for the heralds to quickly leave the city.
He knew that the army of Liu Chengru that Yue Fei encountered outside Fucheng at the moment was the real battle of this year's Song-Jin War.
The fall of those small military towns ahead was just an appetizer.
The official feast has been brought to the stage!
Late the next night.
Zhao Shuo, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Li Huai.
At the same time, Li Huai entered the Wende Hall with a dusty herald.
Present the military report of the old general Zong Ze to Zhao Shuo. I
Zhao Shuo opened the military newspaper and looked at it, his expression was naturally surprised and happy.
Shockingly, the Jin army was finally about to attack on all fronts.
No more temptations!
This seems to have reached an extraordinary period when it will really be a showdown.
Happily, Zhao Shuo saw that Yue Fei was already up to the task.
At this moment, Yue Fei planned to lure the enemy deeper, annihilating the 8,000 elite cavalry of the Jin army, capturing 2,000 Jin troops, as well as 8,000 horses and 5,000 pairs of armor, Zhao Shuo did not know yet.
But Zhao Shuo knew how important the strategic location of Fuxian County was on the Eastern Front.
I just saw that Yue Fei had turned that city into actual control.
I feel that in this battle, Da Song has another chance of winning.
Yue Fei, Yue Fei!
It is worthy of being the martial arts star of the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Shuo excitedly grabbed the heirloom jade seal on the imperial case, and held the holy decree in one hand.
was thinking quickly about how to reward the budding young player.
Meanwhile!
Outside Fucheng!
Liu Chengru's army of 20,000 had already opened the siege formation.
In two days, they built 200 ladders.
When Yue Fei, who was defending the city, saw the other party's formation, he was still a little worried.
Because the width of the front wall of Fucheng is only more than 2,000 meters.
And Liu Chengru's 200 cloud ladders are arranged on the city wall, and the density is quite terrifying.
Ten meters away is a golden man.
20,000 people, an average of 100 people attack all the way to the ladder.
This tactic is very strong.
If the attack is fierce, it is possible to storm the city wall with a single shot.
But such tactics also have fatal flaws.
That's once the momentum is suppressed.
After the attack of more than 100 people, there will be no troops at all in the follow-up.
It can be seen that Liu Chengru blocked all his troops and wanted to include Fucheng in his pocket.
"All the army goes up to the walls."
"Organize fifty people at each wall battlement."
"In a group of two, the others line up, and someone dies on top immediately."
Yue Fei quickly gave the order in response to the golden man's crazy attack this time.
At the same time, thousands of crossbow bolts began to clear the stockpile......
What is a false alarm is that the offensive of the Jin army only lasted less than a cup of tea.
Liu Chengru withdrew his troops in the rear.
The Jin army retreated from the ladder and retreated to the rear.
Even so, the corpses of the Jin army were piled up under the city walls by thousands.
The reason why Liu Chengru hastily withdrew his troops was because after watching the battle, he found that his powerful onslaught did not intimidate the Song army defending the city.
In fact, Liu Chengru also knew the drawbacks of his siege method.
I had planned to take the opportunity to attack the city wall in waves.
But the first wave was blocked by the Song army.
Naturally, there is no work behind that.
Liu Chengru stared at the city in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.
He never expected that when he met him before, he would find that the defenders were lazy and lazy.
Now it has erupted with such terrifying combat power!
Liu Chengru knew that he had been deceived, and he was even more angry at his stupid behavior at this time.
Thinking back to the picture when he was in the big tent of Yan Zongfu and swore to complete the task!
Now that Liu Chengru, who has been beaten, he is so angry that he almost spits out a mouthful of old blood.
In fact, if Liu Chengru knew that he was facing the most capable young general in the Great Song Dynasty at this stage, he would not be so bored.
Liu Chengru knew that he would not be able to take Fucheng with the little force in his hand.
He could only retreat to the next best thing, while eyeing the outside of the city, while sending a military report to Wanyan Zongfu, who was stationed outside Tianjin.
However, Liu Chengru also has reservations about the information expounded in this piece of information.
He didn't mention to Yan Zongfu at all that he was deceived by Yue Fei, and nearly 10,000 people were killed or injured in half a day.
Because he knew that once this strange thing was known by Wanyan Zongfu, not only would his official position be lost, but he would also have to be withdrawn to Taiyuan Military Town and accept the military law of Nanwang Muhan.
Liu Chengru thought about it, so he had to continue to cover up his incompetence in commanding troops.
And in the military situation, he praised himself for defeating the Song army one after another.
And the Song army's defense along the Yellow River is useless, hoping that Wanyan Zongfu can immediately lead an army of 100,000 to support him.
Three days later!
All the grain and grass hoarded in the Jin Kingdom have arrived at Yan Zongfu's station.
As soon as Wanyan Zongfu saw that the grain and grass were available, he immediately organized an army formation to attack with his division.
Ready to launch a general offensive at any time.
At the same time, Wanyan Zong said: "Our army is now ready to go, and the commander plans to send a bunch of people to attack Cangzhou, who is willing to lead the vanguard?" ”
"I'll go!" Under the handsome account, a military general named Guo Kai walked out.
"Good! If this battle can help Zongfu's army break through Cangzhou, this marshal will ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty the Five Kingdoms. ”
"Yes!" Guo Kai turned around and cashed out the account and quickly led the army.
At this time, Liu Bi, who was accompanying Zong Wang, said: "Your Highness, that guy Guo Kai was originally Song Chen, and he has just surrendered to our army for less than a year, and the last general is worried about ......."
"There's no need to worry, since you've used it, there's no need to doubt it."
"Yes."
"In addition, quickly go to the military camp to convey the commander's order, now that the generals under Wanyan Zongfu have entered the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, we should also quickly bypass Beijing City and go south to Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty."
