Chapter 981: The Beiwei Army Appears!
On the evening of June 27, Jin Wushu, who was stationed in Youzhou, received an urgent military report from Yue Fei's troops heading north, and even received news that Zhang Xian's troops had penetrated Bazhou's defense line.
He laughed and said: "Yue Fei is indeed here, and he is sending an order that Yin Shu can do it, but he is not allowed to take action. When the Song army enters the boundary of Youzhou, and then cuts off its retreat, I will lock up the Song army and fight!"
Han Duo also laughed: "Yue Fei doesn't know that His Highness has already laid a dragnet in Hebei, waiting for Yue Fei's Shenwu Army to infiltrate it."
"Don't take it lightly. I must be careful this time." Wu Shu emphasized.
Although he said this, the smile on his face did not conceal his excitement at this time.
On June 28, Zhang Xian quickly advanced into Gu'an County after breaking through the Jin Army's Bazhou defense line.
This place is only a hundred miles away from Youzhou, Xijin Prefecture, and it already belongs to the core area controlled by the Jin people.
That afternoon, the scouts came to report.
"Zhang Dutong, the Jin army has regrouped its forces in Bazhou and has blocked all the main roads in Bazhou."
"Sure enough, Commander Yue knows what's going to happen. The Jin people have set a trap for us."
"Zhang Dutong, what should we do now?"
"What should we do?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and said in a sharp tone, "What is most effective on the battlefield? It's our horses and weapons! Let the Jin army see the power of our troops!"
On June 28, a large number of Jin Army scouts reported to Jin Wushu that Zhang Xian's troops were rapidly advancing towards Fan Yang in Zhuozhou.
And Jin Wushu received another intelligence yesterday that another Song army was attacking Yizhou, and it was said that it was the main force led by Yue Fei himself.
Jin Wushu concluded on the spot that Zhang Xian's troops broke through Bazhou's defense line, turned west and quickly advanced into Zhuozhou in an attempt to seize Zhuozhou, and formed an encirclement with Yue Fei's troops in Yizhou.
After all, Zhuozhou is a hundred miles northeast of Yizhou, very close to it.
While Jin Wushu lamented the speed of Yue Fei's advance, he was also excited that this time Yue Fei finally fell into his trap.
On the evening of June 28, Jin Wushu personally led 50,000 elite troops from Youzhou and quickly headed south.
According to the normal march time, it only takes less than two days to get from Youzhou to Zhuozhou. At this time, there are still 10,000 gold troops in Zhuozhou and 20,000 gold troops in Yizhou.
Jin Wushu concluded that it was impossible for Zhang Xian to conquer Zhuozhou in just two days, and it was even less possible for Yue Fei to capture Yizhou in these few days.
In other words, as long as Jin Wushu arrives in Zhuozhou on June 30th, he can besiege Zhang Xian's ministry together with the Jin army in Zhuozhou.
In order to completely defeat the Song army, Jin Wushu's 50,000-strong army included 10,000 kaizi horses, 3,000 iron pagodas, 10,000 elite armored infantry, and the rest were signed troops.
Zhang Xian's troops were much shabby in comparison. Zhang Xian had 3,000 divine cavalry and 7,000 infantry, and only 2,000 logistics troops were prepared, and these 2,000 troops were required to go into battle at any time.
With this kind of configuration, if you really encounter Jin Wushu, let alone Yue Jiajun cheating, the cheating will basically not win.
Fighting is not about ruthlessness, hard power is very crucial.
However, on the morning of June 30, Jin Wushu, who was still thirty miles away from Zhuozhou, suddenly received a military report from Jizhou that Jizhou had been lost!
Jizhou was lost?
Jin Wushu was stunned!
Where is Jizhou?
Jizhou is one hundred and fifty miles due east of Youzhou, and it is the only place that Liaodong must pass to reach Youzhou.
"This is impossible!" Jin Wushu said angrily, "When did another Song army arrive from the defense line to Jizhou? Why didn't the scouts report it a few days ago! What are they doing for food!"
"King Wei, calm down, we have investigated carefully!" Han Duo said immediately, "The Song Army definitely does not have a third army to go to the east. We have already posted scouts in those areas, and there is no way the Song Army can hide from our spies!"
"You mean, Jizhou has not fallen, this is false information?"
"No, Jizhou has indeed been captured. This is urgent information."
Wu Shu's face turned livid: "Could it be that the Song army that entered Zhuozhou suddenly grew wings and flew to Jizhou?"
"Only... this is the only possibility." Cold sweat broke out on Han Duo's forehead, "Maybe the Song army has divided its troops in Gu'an County, pretending to enter Zhuozhou all the way, and the other group quickly went to the northeast and attacked Jizhou!"
Jin Wushu became even more angry. He said: "It is more than two hundred miles from Gu'an County to Jizhou. The Song army took at least five days from Gu'an County to Jizhou. The Song army completed the attack on Bazhou on the 26th, and on the 27th
Arriving in Gu'an and capturing Jizhou on the 30th, even if the troops were divided, did the Song army really have wings?"
"There's only one other possibility."
"What's possible?"
"The troops who were sent from Gu'an County to Jizhou are all cavalry. Only the cavalry can reach it by rapid march!"
As soon as Han Duo said this, Wu Shu fell silent.
This is the only possibility.
"Can the cavalry attack the city?" Wu Shu turned around and asked Han Duo.
"Has King Wei forgotten that our hard-line army consists of cavalry on horseback and infantry on dismount?"
Cavalry and infantry are two completely different arms.
The cavalry is good at mounted shooting and assault, but it is difficult for them to wear armor and charge in formations like the infantry, or it is even more difficult to attack a city.
Only uneducated people who talk about military affairs on paper would take it for granted that cavalry can become infantry once they are dismounted.
However, in ancient times, there were indeed a small number of elite cavalry who could dismount and become elite infantry.
For example, Li Ji fought against Xue Yantuo, and the Tang army dismounted and fought on foot.
Another example is "History of the Jin Dynasty: Biography of Wanyan Talan": He defeated 20,000 soldiers in Suiyang and advanced to Bozhou. Hearing that a hundred thousand soldiers from the Song Dynasty were approaching, Huizong expected 4,000 more soldiers to attack together and defeated them. He had 2,000 soldiers.
, stood up in formation, and if the gallop did not move, he immediately led his troops to attack him on horseback, killing them all, and captured his general Shi Qi and returned him.
Wu Shu was reminded by Han Duo and immediately reacted.
"Yue Fei's dismounted cavalry can actually become elite siege troops!" Wu Shu was quite shocked, "This is something I never expected!"
Despite being shocked, Wu Shu also calmed down.
"Your Highness, please give the last general 10,000 troops and horses. The last general will go and get the heads of Song generals in Jizhou." Han Duo said.
"No, there is no need to worry." Wu Shu thought for a moment and said, "The defenses of Youzhou and Shunzhou are better than Jizhou. The number of cavalry raided by the Song Army must not be large. If they still want to divide their troops and attack Shunzhou and Youzhou, then
Seeking death, they can only stay in Jizhou for the time being."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Don't worry about them. When I kill the Song army in Zhuozhou, I will go south to fight Yue Fei head-on. However, Yin Shu can block the way of the Song army in Jizhou going south in Bazhou. Everything is under my control."
middle!"
On the evening of June 30th, while several elite battles between the Song and Jin Dynasties took place in Yandi, the Yinshan battlefield had turned into a meat grinder.
But thousands of miles away on the Liaodong battlefield, a new variable ushered in.
Yang Zaixing commanded the elite troops and arrived in Fuzhou.
