Chapter Seventy-Three: Crossing the Yellow River and Heading North
Lu Hao asked suspiciously, "Although the art of war is 'more than half a hit', how to strike?" If it can't be stopped, what should be done? ”
Zhao Yingluo said with a smile, "If he crosses the river, he will either cross the pontoon bridge or transport it by boat!" The speed of crossing the pontoon bridge is fast, but the pontoon bridge is narrow, and only ten people are allowed to pass side by side, if I plant a fire team of 100 people at the head of the bridge, the enemy will not be able to cross the pontoon bridge at all! ”
The old man nodded in agreement, they have also seen the firearm army cultivated by Zhao Yingluo, the lethality of that kind of weapon is extraordinary, and there is no salvation for the middle.
Zong Ze raised his eyes and asked, "What if the enemy chooses a boat instead of a pontoon bridge?" ”
Zhao Yingluo said with a smile, "That's not easy, the Jin people are not good at water warfare, we just need to shoot them with bows and arrows, and they naturally can't land on the shore." ”
Zong Ze frowned slightly, "Although these two methods can stop Jin Ren for a while, they are not a long-term solution after all!" If you don't fight a decisive battle with Wanyan Zonghan's army, sooner or later there will be trouble. ”
Zong Ze's concerns are actually what Zhao Yingluo is worried about, she is not worried about the Jin people attacking, what she is worried about is that the Jin people have been entrenched north of the Yellow River for a long time, attacking passively, and waiting for change.
Now the winter wheat has entered the heading stage, and it will be harvested in about 20 days.
If the Jin people do not seek a decisive battle for a long time, they will delay the agricultural work!
On top of that, there are still her fields north of the Yellow River, and she doesn't want the seeds to be harvested being wasted by the Jinren.
"The father-in-law is very worried! In addition to the above two points, I intend to cross the river with an army! ”
When Zong Ze heard this, his head shook like a rattle, "Crossing the river? How? Do you want to join General Han and fight the Jin people together? The old man disagreed! The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if you make a mistake, how can we two old men deal with ourselves? ”
Zhao Yingluo guessed his reaction, and she continued unhurriedly, "Father-in-law, relax your heart for the time being, I have never fought a battle that I am not sure of, and I crossed the river this time, not to fight a decisive battle with the Jin people, but to have other strategies." Father, think about it, when did I miss what I was going to do? ”
Zong Ze shook his head and thought about it, as if she really hadn't missed.
"That's it! Since you want to go so much, go for it! However, we must always remember that we must not easily collide with the golden people. ”
After Lu Haowen got the hint from Zhao Yingluo's eyes, he had to agree to her going north to cross the river.
After getting the consent of the second elder, Zhao Yingluo immediately returned to the town in the north of the city to make preparations before the expedition. This time to the north, she is not prepared to bring slower infantry!
10,000 horses, except for some people who need to ride in a carriage, the rest are all cavalry! Cavalry of this scale, even if it encounters the Jin people's brigade, can still make a wave.
In addition to these, Zhao Yingluo also specially told Feng Jing and Wen Boyuan to bring all the necessary firearms and strive to be foolproof.
On the night before the expedition, Zhao Yingluo gathered all the generals in the conference room in the small town north of the city, and she stood in front of the map, her eyes sweeping firmly over everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow we will embark on our journey north. This mission is not only to stop the invasion of the Jinren, but also to do more important things waiting for us to do. ”
Zhao Yingluo paused and continued, "Our goal is the fields north of the Yellow River. Those lands are the ones we have worked hard to cultivate, and we must not let the Jin people succeed. ”
Feng Jing caught everyone's attention in the queue, and he said loudly, "Madam, don't worry. We will definitely take good care of our fields. ”
Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly and looked at Feng Jing trustingly, "I believe in you." However, our task this time will not be easy. The Jin people are good at water warfare, and our army, including myself, is not good at it. So, we have to rely on our firearms. ”
She turned to the map, "Our firearms are sharp, but the Jinren's army is also extremely elite. Therefore, we need to make a detailed plan. When the Jin people landed, we attacked them with firearms first and caught them by surprise. Then, we engage in melee combat, using our swords, guns, swords, and halberds to fight them to the death. ”
Zhao Yingluo's words were full of firmness and determination, and everyone present felt her strength. They know it's an uphill battle, but they also know that as long as they're united, nothing can stop them.
After the meeting, Zhao Yingluo stood alone in front of the window, looking at the starry sky in the north. Her heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, and she knew that this moment would be one of the most important moments of her life.
She silently said to herself: "Jinren, you wait and see! I will definitely make you pay the price. ”
The next day, at sunrise, Zhao Yingluo led her 10,000 men and horses and began to march towards the Yellow River. The cavalry raised billowing dust, the flags fluttered in the wind, and the firearms team led by Feng Jing and Wen Boyuan was in the rear of the whole army, and with the pace of the march, they were always ready to ignite the firearms in their hands.
When they came to the Yellow River, Zhao Yingluo looked at the scene in front of her and was full of emotion in her heart. Pontoons and boats were busily shuttling along the shore, and the soldiers of the Jin people were busily crossing the river, and everywhere she looked, it was a busy scene.
She looked back at her army, filled with determination and confidence. She knew that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
In the days that followed, Zhao Yingluo led her army into a fierce battle with the Jinren. Firearms exerted great power on the battlefield, and the large army of the Jin people fell like wheat fields under the attack of firearms.
Zhao Yingluo took the lead, wielding the long sword in his hand, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the golden man. Her sword light flickered, piercing the silence of the air and delivering a fatal blow to her foe.
During the battle, Zhao Yingluo constantly encouraged the soldiers, telling them: "As long as we are united, nothing can stop us from moving forward." These words echoed in the hearts of the soldiers, inspiring their courage and confidence.
After several days of fighting, the Jin people were finally defeated. Zhao Yingluo led her army and stationed in the fields north of the Yellow River, and their mission was successfully accomplished.
However, Zhao Yingluo did not stop. She knew that the Golden Man would invade again, and she had to be prepared. She began to reorganize the army, strengthen the fortifications, and actively communicate with the local people to understand their lives and needs.
In the process, Zhao Yingluo also constantly reflected on her combat strategy and command ability. She knows that only by constantly learning and improving can she achieve greater victories in future battles.
As time passed, Zhao Yingluo's reputation became louder and louder. It is known that there was a female general who held her position north of the Yellow River and defended her homeland.
