Chapter 74 The curtain of war opens

Di Lie is indeed here.

From May 11th to May 14th, for three consecutive days, they marched day and night without stopping, and finally caught up with the Jindong Route Army troops who were about to cross the river to escape.

The interception of Yishui can be said to be Di Lie's last chance to rescue him. Once the Jin army is allowed to escort all the captured people across the river and reach Yizhou, the rescue will become an impossible task.

The reason why Di Lie was so elusive and repeatedly attacked the Jin army was because the Hebei West Road in the Song Dynasty had been completely destroyed by the Jin army that invaded from the south. The bones were exposed in the wild and there was no human habitation for thousands of miles. In a place like this where there are more ghosts than people,

No matter how many troops the Jin army has, if you want to search for just a few people, you know, it is only a little easier than finding a needle in a haystack, and it is equivalent to finding an iron pestle in a haystack.

But things are different once you cross Yishui. Yizhou has been the territory of the Jin Kingdom for two years, and the rule of the Jin people has become increasingly stable. To the northeast of Yizhou is Zhuozhou, and further up is the former Yanjing Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom.

, is now Daxing Prefecture, the central capital of the Jin Kingdom. Its status is as important as Taiyuan Prefecture to the Song State. As the southwest barrier of the Jin Dynasty’s central capital and an important frontline confrontation with the Song State, Yizhou’s defense is quite tight. If

If you want to sneak in and snipe a few important Jin Army generals, it might be possible, but if you want to get both men and money, unless you bring an aerial fortress.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom was still a little stunned by the huge results achieved by the Jin Army in conquering the Song Dynasty, so that they were completely unprepared to take over the Song Kingdom's vast territory. The empty and abandoned cities on Hebei West Road can be a footnote. However,

The further north you go, the closer you get to the border between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the more troops the Jin army garrisoned. For example, Dingzhou, Baozhou, Suicheng, etc., these cities usually have one Puchan to one Jurchen soldier trying to defeat them.

Strength, coupled with the assistance of most of the foreign servant armies, Han signed armies and new vassal armies, can basically control these cities and the surrounding main roads.

This is also the reason why Di Lie and his party had to travel day and night. Even though they were so careful, when they crossed the Great Wall from Busan Cunpu under the leadership of local guides, they were still discovered by the Jin soldiers patrol. So Meng Wei led five Liangshan

Brothers, bring all the horses and lead the Jin soldiers away in two directions. Di Lie, A Shu, Zhang Rong, and Jia Hu carried several hundred kilograms of bags and thunderbolts unloaded from the horses.

Jump, climb over the Great Wall, and plunge straight into the Yi River.

An hour later, at approximately 3:00 p.m., the four of them arrived at the bank of Yishui.

They could have arrived earlier, but it was not so easy to get past the dense mesh-like sentry cavalry deployed by the Jin army. So, Di Lie and Zhang Rong took action together and killed a group of Jin soldiers' sentry cavalry. Then A Shu and the four Liangshan soldiers

The brothers put on the golden soldier armor and temporarily repaired the broken "mesh". As for how long it can hold up, it depends on luck. Fortunately, there are still two hours before the sky becomes completely dark. As long as it is within this time period

If no flaws are exposed, the mission of Ah Shu and others will be completed.

When Di Lie estimated that the Jin army was most likely to cross the river from Yishui and return to the Kingdom of Jin, a bold battle plan was formed in his mind.

Strike halfway across, zoom in and catch the small ones.

The specific action steps are: Zhang Rong, Jia Hu and the remaining five Liangshan brothers took advantage of their good water properties to bring three ten-kilogram bags, wrapped them in oilcloth, and went downstream from the upper reaches of Yishui River.

After getting to the bottom of the pontoon bridge, he placed the fuse, waited for Di Lie to send a signal, lit the fuse, and blew up the pontoon bridge. In order to ensure success, Di Lie even gave Zhang Rong a military windproof lighter.

Of course, the timing of this explosion must be grasped well. It must wait until most of the Jin army has crossed Yishui and only a few troops are left. If the timing is not right and too many Jin troops are left on the south bank when the bridge is blown up, then they will not only

If it cannot swallow the enemy, it will choke to death.

The purpose of Di Lie's trip was only for two people: Queen Zhu and Aji.

He only wanted these two people and didn't think too much about the other people and supplies. After all, this place is far away from the Taihang base, and there are many golden soldiers along the way. Once the things are obtained, transporting them is also a troublesome matter.

However, Di Lie's plan to amplify and catch the small ones also has a big flaw - he can't be sure at all whether Queen Zhu and Aji will be in the first batch, or even the second or third batch of people to survive. If so.

The two of them were sent across the north bank of Yishui early, so his plan completely failed.

This was a dilemma, which troubled Di Lie for a long time. It wasn't until he saw through the scope the poignant face of Empress Zhu on the high slope in front of the pure white tent that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Song prisoners captured by the Jin Army, Aji is an insignificant role. Even if he cannot be rescued now, there will still be a chance in the future. But Empress Zhu is different. If she does not rescue now, she will not be able to survive after passing this village.

That's the store.

Of course Di Lie didn't know that he was really lucky. Empress Zhu had actually been sent to the north bank of Yishui earlier, but Zong Wang didn't know what was wrong. He wanted to hear the queen of a country sing a ditty, so he put Empress Zhu and

Concubine Zhu Shen recalled Nan'an and unintentionally solved a big problem for Di Lie.

In the subsequent unexpected riot, Aji also managed to escape.

Of course Di Lie couldn't miss the scene of Ah Xing and He Yuanqing's bloody battle with a group of golden soldiers. As a result, in the aiming camera, Aji's little face unexpectedly appeared. At that moment, Di Lie felt like laughing three times.

impulse.

I have to say that May 14th is a lucky day for Di Lie, Queen Zhu and Aji.

With the target in sight, there was nothing more to say. Di Lie then asked the only Liangshan brother who was following him to run two or three miles away, launch a firework signal, and order the bridge to be blown up - this is what Wuyan Hecha finally saw.

That scene. And the fall of Wuyan Hecha also signaled the beginning of Di Lie's sniping operation.

The place where Di Lie is currently lurking is five miles away from the south bank of Yishui River and two miles away from Zongwang's main camp of the Chinese army. This is an inconspicuous small mountain peak with an altitude of only more than a hundred meters. One side is steep and the other side is flatter.

There are dense weeds and jagged rocks.

The reason why Di Lie chose this place was because it was a blind spot for the Jin soldiers' patrols. The Jin soldiers' sentries spread out for twenty miles. The closer to the outside, the stricter the patrols, and the further inward, the looser the mesh. When the distance is reached, the patrols are stricter.

Five or six miles south of the Yishui River, there are basically no golden sentry cavalry anymore - the reason is very simple. There is a Chinese army camp two miles away. Is there a thousand elites inside there who are looking good?

of?

It was precisely because of Jin Bing's overconfidence, or arrogance, that he created a defensive loophole, which was exploited by a guy like Di Lie who was trained in "finding faults".

Di Lie also saw the whole story of the Song prisoner's uprising. Unfortunately, he was too far away and could not reach him, so he could only watch Liu Er fall silently. Now, he had to do what he should do.

One thousand meters away is the central camp of the Jin Army, where many senior generals of the Jin Army are gathered. The guy sitting in the middle should be the chief general - unfortunately, Di Lie does not know Zong Wang, but Zong Wang.

Ah Shu, who was looking forward to it, was not around. Therefore, Di Lie speculated based on the one thousand troops that he was a fierce-level golden general. As for Gaitian King Saili and Zhenzhu King Sheyema, although Di Lie had also

They walked in and out of the two men's barracks, and even ran away with the woman they had been eyeing for a long time. Even so, the two parties never met each other. Otherwise, Di Lie would probably have replaced the original bullets immediately. Is it wrong to kill?

Let it go.

One thousand meters is the effective killing distance of reloaded bullets, so Di Lie decided to use reloaded bullets. He had seven handmade warheads before, but they were all used up during target shooting. Later, with the efforts of the craftsmen, they were cast into

Twelve; three were used when rescuing Guan Zhongyong and other Taihang rebels; seventeen more were obtained before departure, so there were twenty-six warheads. Just cut the cowhide rope first, and then shoot Wuyan Hecha in the head.

, two more bullets were used. Counting the full shot, there were still twenty-four bullets left. There were twenty-four bullets, but only twelve bullet cases, so we had to wait until a magazine of bullets was finished before reloading on site.

Di Lie squinted his eyes and counted. There were less than twenty Jin generals who were having a good time at the dinner party. They cooked these guys in one pot. Basically, the command system of these thousands of Jin soldiers was paralyzed. Even if the Jin army

The grassroots command structure of the Song Army is far superior to that of the Song Army, and it is unlikely that it will be able to withstand such a blow.

The most important thing is that Di Lie also has an excellent "helper", which is darkness - yes, even God is on his side, and it is already the second quarter of the hour (around seven o'clock in the evening).

Night has fallen, but the battle has just begun.
