Chapter 162: Siege
Zhongmu County, Huaishugang.
This place is the center of Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, seventy miles to Zhengzhou in the west, and seventy miles to Kaifeng in the east.
Since Yue Pengju went all the way north, winning consecutive battles, he stopped here, not that he Yue Pengju was unwilling to move forward, but with the emperor's order, he couldn't move forward now.
The most important thing is that he knows that what the Zhao official family said is right, there are few Jurchens, there are many people in the Song Kingdom, there are more people and fewer people, this is one of them; On the other hand, he can control no more than 100,000 soldiers, and there are still many young people who have no establishment, and the young people who have come from all over the country to vote for their strength, excluding the labor of the people, I am afraid that less than half of them can really be used in war.
Half of them want to besiege Kaifeng...... To put it a little disrespectfully, unless the head of the city is the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, otherwise, even if it is a pig, it is impossible for Yue Fei to surround this city.
The most important point is that the Shun of the Northern Expedition is something he has never encountered since he joined the army, which is not only because the Zhao Guanjia is also there, which has attracted a lot of pressure, but also because they have just retreated, and the Jin people have not completely stood on their heels.
But Kaifeng is different, the last time the people of Jin just said that they wanted to return to Kaifeng, Liu Kuang, who was responsible for taking over Kaifeng, only came to Yingzhou, and he tore up the peace treaty after Yan Wushu, since the fight against Jingkang, the people of Kaifeng Mansion died and fled, and there were not a few Han people left, and he Yue Fei to other places may be welcome, but only here, there are few people to see him.
This is almost the same as the strategy they set before, the Northern Expedition should be sooner rather than later, faster than slow, but if you open the city, you have to do the opposite, it can't be fast.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou divided the place of Zhongmu into an imperial garden, this place has not been less than military disasters, both Song, Chen, Wei, and Cao converged with the Jin State to fight Zheng State, and the Qin State attacked the Wei State seven times, five times here, and Liu Bang defeated the Qin general Yang Xiong here...... The most famous one, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Guandu, to say that the soldiers must fight for the place, its impact on the battle situation is actually not so big, after all, both sides are big cities, but if you want to say that you don't fight, it is often on the way to pass, to put it bluntly,
It's an unlucky place.
Huai Shugang is only a few miles away from Zhongmu County, a few days ago when a large number of Jin people came, Yue Yun thought that it was the Jin people who attacked, and after he hurriedly called everyone to get ready, he found that the purpose of the opposite side did not seem to be coming towards him, fighting the grassland barbarians in front, but was surrounded by the Jurchen pursuers on the mountain, the two sides were so deadlocked, counting the next few days, those northern barbarians have held out for five days.
They eat dogs, Yue Yun is naturally happy, in addition to practicing every day, is to ask people to observe carefully, the current recruits are not afraid of Jin people like tigers, and they will not start to breathe when they hear the name of Jin Ren, no way, the stories made up by the students are getting more and more outrageous, and they can be traced back to Wanyan Aguta and the cow...... In the face of people who are inferior to animals, it inspired the contempt of many Song people.
I can tell them to take a good look at the methods of the Jin people in the war, and let them see that those Jurchens will also bleed, they will also cry out in pain, and they will also lose their lives, such a good opportunity, where will Yue Yun miss it.
However, what surprised him a little was that the Jin people he met this time were a little weird, not that they were fighting, but that these people were only thinking about the barbarians on the locust tree hill, and they were a little blind to these Song people.
Before, I was just looking outside the gate of the county seat, but then as the encirclement of the Jin people narrowed, I could only see the shadow of the halfway up the mountainside...... Rao is like this, and the Jin people only think that they don't exist, and they are single-minded, and they only think about dealing with the barbarians on the mountain.
Yue Yun and Niu Gao stayed here, and it was not without discussion, after all, looking at the dress of the group of grassland people, it was similar to the one they attacked before, why were they still doing things for the Jin people a few days ago, and now the two sides are turning against each other?
But after discussing the past, the two were at a loss, and they just reached a consensus:
Whatever it is, it's all good.
In this way, there is no psychological burden.
Today's sunny day, a group of recruits were also brought to observe, Niu Gao listened to the sound of fighting above, it was already much smaller than a few days ago, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Look at this appearance, I'm afraid that as soon as the day is over, the barbarian above will have to hold the bird in his hand."
Yue Yun asked, "What is it?" ”
"It's over!"
"Well," Yue Yun nodded, "That's what I said, but those barbarians, who don't wear armor or bow hanging, and even have short blades, can take advantage of their geographical advantages to entangle with these Jurchens for so many days, but it is quite rare." ”
He didn't say this at all, not hanging the bow means not using the divine arm bow, his father has a very good relationship with the prime minister Zhao Ding, and he himself is deeply loved by the emperor, and half of the good things sent by Lin'an have come to them.
is used to fighting the war of wealth, and it is indeed normal to look down on these people.
Maybe it was a protest against Yue Yun's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person on the top of the slope, and he started shooting arrows with a bow, and he dialed it three times in a row, and shot three people hard.
"It's a pity that he's really a capable person, but it's a pity that ......"
Niu Gao didn't finish his words, because this person's end was already obvious.
He seemed to have broken away from the large army, and there were no people of half his own race around him, but beside him, there was a constant stream of golden men holding shields upward.
Even if he is reincarnated, when the arrow on his back is finished, he will inevitably end up with a death.
It is indeed a pity that such a person dies like this.
I saw that he dodged left and right, while shooting arrows from time to time, all the arrows shot out, the light was to scratch the Jin people, and the heavy was to directly ask for his life, in less than a stick of incense, he alone made seven or eight Jurchens lose their combat effectiveness.
"Or ...... Save it? ”
Niu Gao asked tentatively, since he came back from Lin'an, Yue Yun's status has skyrocketed, many times Yue Fei wants to be beaten and scolded, but he endured it again and again, and he didn't even say anything serious.
I all know whose face it is, this time let him lead an army out alone, saying that it was a test, but there is no Yue Fei avoiding his son's thoughts, as the so-called 'out of sight, not upset.' ’
So Niu Gao is just his lieutenant.
Yue Yun thought about it, and just wanted to answer, he saw that the person above suddenly shot an arrow at his house, he screamed, and took seven or eight steps back, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the arrow was stuck in the place where he was standing just now.
