Chapter 159: Escape (2)

After a while, a subordinate junior general came to report: The tens of thousands of war horses raised in the military horse station did not know what kind of disease they had, and they could not stand up, and it was impossible to go to the battlefield. I found a few veterinarians and couldn't find a problem.

Wan Yan Gao said: "It may be the Tao of the Song people, isn't there such a coincidence?" There are still hundreds of horses in the post station, and they will all be requisitioned immediately, how many can you go, Wushu, you will take a few hundred horsemen first, and I will advance with the infantry lightly, and strive to arrive before dawn. Tell the rest of the people to bring as much food as they can on the road. ”

Due to the strange illness of the war horse, Wan Yan Gao was not worried about Jin Wushu and Wan Yan Xiyin, but decided to personally serve as the commander-in-chief of this operation, so that Jin Wushu and Wan Yan Xiyin once again escaped the opportunity to be punished.

Jin Wushu had no choice but to take five hundred horsemen on the road first. Wan Yan Gao was afraid that there would not be enough grain and grass, so he left 3,000 people for Wan Yan Chang, and collected 1,000 carriages in the city after dawn, and transported the grain and grass to Wildcat Ridge as soon as possible.

After Jin Wushu arrived with more than 500 horsemen, the scouts who followed him all the way said that the Song people had no intention of going down the mountain at all, and the three paths up the mountain had been blocked.

Jin Wushu led the men and horses around the Wildcat Ridge twice, and when they saw that there was no movement on the mountain, it seemed that they had already rested. So he also arranged for people to guard the three intersections that could enter and exit the mountain, and he also dismounted and rested......

On the morning of the next day, more than 30,000 soldiers led by Wan Yan Gao arrived on foot, and after Wan Yan Gao inquired about the situation, he personally commanded the army to surround Wildcat Ridge.

By the evening of the first day, more than 10,000 people had arrived in various places, but the number of horses was limited, and it was not possible to gather 2,000 cavalry.

The next morning, more than 5,000 horses came, and Wan Yan Chang collected more than 1,000 carriages and brought sufficient grain and grass. At this time, Wanyan Gao received an order from Aguta, asking him to mobilize some men and horses to enter Goryeo in various parts of the central region.

Wanyan Zonggao knew that this was also a big deal, so he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to re-encircle and suppress Zhao Chongyang to Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin.

In the afternoon of that day, the powerful Golden Vulture began to organize a tentative attack at the three intersections up the mountain, killing and wounding hundreds of people each time, and finally all returned in vain.

After Yan Xiyin watched the actual situation of the battles everywhere, he said to Jin Wushu: "Let the soldiers cut down trees and make more wooden shields to make up for the lack of our protective power." From tomorrow, after the wooden shield is ready, let the soldiers take turns to attack. ”

Jin Wushu ordered that except for the necessary personnel to surround the mountain, the rest of the soldiers all went to the nearby forest to cut wood, and then Wanyan Xiyin led people to get a few samples first, and let everyone follow them.

Because there are no tools at hand, the wooden shield is very large and heavy, and although the protection is good, it lacks flexibility.

The actions of Jin Wushu and others naturally couldn't be concealed from Zhao Chongyang and others on the mountain. Zhao Chongyang led everyone to hold the binoculars and clearly saw the enemy's movements under the mountain a few miles away.

On the morning of the third day, the Jin soldiers carried the wooden shields that had been made overnight and began to attack slowly from the mountain pass. Each wooden shield is one or two meters long and about one and a half meters high. The number of attackers in each place was small, only one or two thousand.

When the enemy rushed to nearly twenty paces from the first wooden fence, the soldiers on the hill began to fire rockets and throw incendiary bombs. The soldiers with good arm strength directly threw dozens of cans of fierce fire oil out under the leadership of the general.

For a while, thick smoke billowed on the way of the enemy's attack, and after the incendiary bombs ignited the fierce fire oil, it burned the golden soldiers and ghosts to cry wolves. The wooden shields of the first wave of attack were all reduced to ashes, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded.

Only then did Jin Wushu really see Zhao Chongyang's strong defensive side. But this time, it also gave Jin Wushu a great hint: "If you fucking hide in the mountains and don't come out, Lao Tzu will do the same tomorrow, and people will set fire to you from all directions and burn hundreds of you to death on the mountain." ”

So, Jin Wushu ordered the soldiers to shout around with limited shields: "Listen to the Song people on the mountain, the fourth prince of my family said, you are limited to go down the mountain and surrender before dark today, and you will not die." Otherwise, we will start setting fire to the mountain early tomorrow morning and burn you all to death on the mountain. ”

The princess listened to the shouts of the golden soldiers under the mountain, turned back to the generals and said, "The golden vulture is so ruthless! ”

Zhao Chongyang said with a smile: "The Golden Vulture is a good learner now. ”

Zhao Chongyang ordered that the Jin soldiers should not be able to work this afternoon, and after lunch, except for the soldiers patrolling and guarding the mountain pass, everyone had a good rest......

At this time, the power center of the Great Song Dynasty was in Tokyo, and the upper power of the Great Song Dynasty underwent a major reshuffle, and the official family who had long seen Zong Ze was not pleasing to the eye, and in early August, when Zong Ze was ill and could not go to the dynasty early, he instructed Cai Jing and others to collectively make trouble, saying that Zong Ze was old and mediocre, and he could no longer bear the heavy responsibility.

Seven days later, Li Gang, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the envoy of the three-grade system on Sichuan Road, although he was released at the same level, he was far from the center of power, and his influence in the officialdom weakened. Uncle Zhang was left alone at night, so he was in a hurry.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Emperor Maode and Zhao Chongyang were at the negotiation table, trying to fight for the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, the new three envoys Yang Jian published a book in the early dynasty: Huaxia estimates that there is no emperor and daughter, either father to son, brother to brother, or to nephew The emperor has everything, and there has never been a precedent for passing on a daughter.

And there are more than 10 princes in the emperor, how can he not choose a wise and martial man to be the prince, so that he can inherit the unification in the future? I look at the Nine Emperors' son Kang Wang Zhao Gou, the dragon walks and walks the tiger, quite the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and can be established as the prince......

As soon as this book was played, Cai Jing, Yang Hao and other important ministers echoed it, claiming that King Kang was benevolent and filial and had a virtuous name, so he could be established as the prince.

Zhao Ji finally understood that since Emperor Maode and Zhao Chongyang left Beijing, Zhao Gou kowtowed to ask for peace every day in the place where he asked for immortals, shh Well, since you are so scheming, you may be able to play with those ministers in the future, so you will fulfill everyone's wishes.

In this way, as expected by the eighth prince, before the princess returned to Beijing, her father transferred her position as the prince to others. Of course, all of this is secretly planned by a master who plays with power tricks and fuels the troubles. This person is Qin Hui, the new prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, and his position as a fellow governor is naturally cheaper than Cai Jing's son Cai Ying.
