Chapter 297 Golden Thief, I've been waiting for you!
June 19th, the third year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty, the Chou Time.
There was no night battle between the two armies that had expected to be fought at night in the Song army camp west of Wulahai City.
The Jin soldiers seemed to have released a pigeon from the Song army. Yesterday afternoon, nearly dusk, 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry surged out from the north, south and north of Wulahai City, and then divided into three groups to detour to the north, east and south of the Song army camp. By the time of Xu yesterday, the three armies completed the detour, and completed the development in the north, east and south of the Song army camp. Then the Jin army sent a large number of crooked horses to rush the Song army's gale and light cavalry back to their own camp.
Then... the Jin soldiers who surrounded the Song army camp on three sides disappeared into the vast night.
This really disappointed the surrounded Song army!
That's a golden thief of 70,000 to 80,000 people! You don't need to slaughter them all, and you'll get rich if you keep half of them! But these golden thieves didn't know what they thought, and they all came, and they didn't hurry up and sent their heads to the night. What are you trying to do? Do you want to use the method of surrounding hunger? But don't the golden thief know that the army led by the Luoyang official family has crossed the Yellow River and is coming across the grassland in the river?
When the army of Luoyang official family arrived, the number of Jin soldiers was no longer superior. How could they continue to fight? Didn’t the Jin soldiers want to attack at night, but wanted to make a fake shot and then escape?
After the 19th day, Yue Fei, Li Shifu, and Wu Jie, who had been waiting for half a night, all felt that the main force of the Jin army might have escaped. Now there are only a few thousand kidnapped horses surrounding the Song army's camp, blocking the Song army's light cavalry scouts leaving the camp to investigate.
In addition, there may be a small number of Jin soldiers in Wulahai City... but the main force must have left!
In order to verify the conjectures of the three of them, about three minutes of the silence, Yue Fei finally ordered the two "hot pot gun camps" to stop shooting.
When the cannon sounded abruptly, the originally noisy battlefield suddenly became extremely quiet. Apart from the sound of water flowing in the northern river of the Yellow River and the occasional sound of war horses or other animals, the surrounding battlefield became quiet. Even in the Wulahai City, which was still bombed by artillery, there was no big noise. I could only vaguely see the fires flashing on the top of the city and inside the city, but there was no loud noise. It was obvious that the Jin soldiers had withdrawn from the area where the shells were attacked... Considering the number of Jin soldiers who drove out Wulahai City yesterday evening, it was estimated that there were not many Jin soldiers in Wulahai City now.
However, Yue Fei, Li Shifu, Wu Jie and others dare not take it lightly... After all, they are going deep into the army alone! Moreover, the battle is now in sight. As long as they wait until dawn and confirm that the Jin soldiers have retreated, they can enter Wulahai City in a swagger!
Even if they took down the Yellow River at the foot of Yangshan (Heishan)!
This is the real achievement of opening up the territory!
Lingxia and the two prefectures still existed in the territory of the Song Dynasty for a while, and Yangshan and Yinshan had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty.
This credit... is enough to be a marquis!
So when Yue Fei, Li Shifu, Wu Jie and the others discussed, they decided to leave enough guard troops to make the soldiers who had been tired for many days and had not closed their eyes for nearly a day and night.
However, officials like Yue Fei, Li Shifu, Wu Jie are still energetic and have no sleepiness at all - they are all young! Yue Fei is only in his twenties this year, Li Shifu is in his early twenties, Wu Jie is older, but he is not yet thirty-five, and the officers below are all young and strong!
On average, the average age of officers in these three armies is 24 or 25 years old, which is the good age to work overtime and stay up late to be a marquis.
Wu Jie's brother Wu Lin is twenty-seven years old this year. He has now become a general and has been promoted to senior doctor. It seems that he is not small, but he is still far from being a title!
Zhao Kai has issued an order to regain the lost territory in Hebei (excluding Yan Yun)!
This title is not a false one, but a land and a fief of land - a duke, a marquis, and a bonfire of land and a son, a second level.
However, even the smallest baron farm is said to have 10,000 acres!
Moreover, these actual titles and corresponding farms can be passed on to their descendants intact... Unlike the titles and the Xunzhuang, they are all timely (the titles cannot be passed on to their sons, and the Xunzhuang only has 60 years of use rights). So now, everyone under Zhao Kai's generals are holding their energy and want to get a title out!
Wu Lin wanted to win a title, while his battalion general Hua Dalang wanted to find a title of "Shangdao" and then get a rank of officials who were rampant... With "Shangdao" and "Rampant Doctor", he could work as a local high-ranking official such as military envoys.
The local officials are so rich... Even if they don't let go of it, they can make it impossible for him to eat and use it for the rest of their lives.
As for descendants... the descendants of the generals, are they still afraid that there will be no chance?
Liu Wu, who had just been sent to Wu Lin as a cavalry (transmission soldier)... is now determined to get enough three masters so that he can jump from utility to corporal and officially become a member of the Song Dynasty's military!
Once he becomes a military soldier, he will have land and marry Master Lu’s cheap daughter. If he can save two more “scholars and superiors” and become a sergeant, he will go up!
These three people are not asleep now. Wu Lin and Hua Dalang are inspecting the camps and defense areas of their headquarters, while Liu Wulang is with two other riders, leading the horse and following Wu Lin and Hua Dalang... If they find anything, or if Wu Lin has any orders to convey, they have to execute them immediately.
But judging from the situation tonight, there is no chance... Liu Wulang is really looking forward to the Jin soldiers!
He wants to make contributions and fight for his life... He also needs the cooperation of the Jin thief!
The Jin Thief is gone, who will he be trying to go to?
When Yue Fei's imperial tent army made meritorious service, Liu Wu and the brothers of Shaanxi's No. 1 Army were so greedy!
The cannon can cut off the head. Is there anything better than this?
But the thief seems to be unable to look forward to it!
At this time, Liu Wu had already followed Wu Lin and Hua Dalang to the edge of the camp and walked on the short wall that was as tall as his chest. There were trenches outside the wall, and many trenches, wooden trenches and porcelain trenches were sprinkled outside the trenches, but there were no horse-repellings and deer forts. There was also a circle of chariots inside the camp wall.
On the periphery of the trench, there were also piles of bonfires, emitting limited light, illuminating a small piece of land nearby.
From time to time, some light cavalry of the Song army passed by near these fires and would throw a handful of firewood into it.
As for the farther place... I can't see clearly.
Liu Wu narrowed his eyes and looked hard for a while, but he didn't see anything - there was a moonlight tonight, but the visibility was still limited. However, when he gave up his efforts and was about to keep up with Wu Lin and Hua Dalang who were walking and talking, he suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground beneath his feet.
Is this an illusion? What the Golden Thieves think? Or... the Golden Thieves are really here?
Liu Wu dared to crawl to the ground, put his face against the ground, closed his eyes, and felt the vibrations and sounds coming through the earth wholeheartedly.
"Golden Thieves!"
Liu Wu shouted happily!
This is not a golden thief, it is clearly a delicate and fragrant female thief!
Wu Lin walked in front and heard someone calling for a golden thief. He didn't believe it. He smiled and said to Hua Dalang beside him: "Someone is talking in a sleep! Hua Da, this is your defense zone... Are there soldiers who are on the night fall asleep?"
Hua Dalang had already looked back in the sound and saw Liu Wu lying on the ground with his butt sticking out.
"Isn't that Liu Wu? He is..."
"Golden Thieves!" Liu Wu had already jumped up from the ground, "Golden Thieves are coming to the camp... I heard it, really heard it! I was the first to hear it!"
This is a top priority!
Wu Lin hurriedly said to Hua Dalang: "Dalang, listen too!"
Liu Wu is a new recruit, Hua Dalang is a veteran, and he is also a child of the camp. He grew up in the front line of Anxi Prefecture since childhood.
Hua Dalang quickly lay on the ground and stuck his butt high.
"Jin, the thief is here!" Hua Dalang shouted in a voice that won the first prize, "But I've hoped them!"
Wu Lin also laughed and said to Liu Wu: "Liu Wu, go to the central army and report to my brother!"
Liu Wu shouted "Get orders." Then he got on the horse happily, took a illuminated torch from another rider, and ran away.
Just as Liu Wu ran away, more people had already discovered that the gold thief was coming!
"Enemy attack! Jin thief!"
"The Golden Thieves..."
"The golden thief is here!"
More surprise shouts followed, and the sound of golden drums on the tower became louder in several places, desperately reporting the good news to the three armies!
The soldiers and generals who were sleeping in the camp were alarmed by the good news, either from the tent, from the curtain, or simply jumped up from the grass. They did not hurry forward to meet the enemy, but took the tied "armor rolls" and began to put on their armor.
The armor can be worn and unloaded by one person, and the removed armor can be quickly tied into a roll. If the soldier has good physical strength, he can march with his back.
The troops led by Yue Fei, Li Shifu and Wu Jie are all elite soldiers. Everyone has armor and is good at rolling armor and can also rolling armor.
So, in neat rows from all camps, the Song army infantry who rushed to their respective positions, were all wearing armor and bows, and were carrying long and short weapons. One of the soldiers with heavy arms also brought a blowing pot.
However, in a blink of an eye, the originally silent camp entered a state of fighting in a jubilation!
But what awaits them was a very fierce bloody battle!
Because at this time, Emperor Wanyan and Wu Qimai made the greatest decision and gathered a total of 75,000 soldiers to make a bet on national fortune with the Song army here!
Chapter completed!
