Although the Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Wushu were strong in combat, they were not as strong as 20,000 people to fight the castles, villages and high dikes that were held by 200,000 people.
In fact, even if the number of people on the Song army was as many as Wanyan Wushu's soldiers, he could not fight.
Because the strength of the Jin soldiers is field battles, their ability to attack is not very strong, even in the early stages of the Song and Jin wars, when the strength of the two sides was the largest. When the powerful Jin soldiers faced the Song army castle that was truly determined to defend, they could only siege.
For example, Taiyuan where Wang Bing defended, Zhongshan where Zhan Du defended, Hejian where Chen Go defended, and Xiangzhou where Zhao Bushi defended, all of them were first siege after a long period of siege and finally broke it when the military rations were exhausted.
The Song army defenders in the above cities were only a few thousand, but as long as these thousands of defenders were determined to defend the enemy, coupled with the unity of the military and civilians, the top and the bottom were united, the Jin soldiers could not defeat them for a long time and had to be besieged.
Now Wanyan Wushu meets the Song army in the areas of Dalishan and Tiancheng Bridgetou, which is likely to be as many as 200,000! The total number of troops he has, including Zhengbing and Alixi, is only 20,000.
Moreover, the Song army was not defending an isolated city, but a defensive system including Dali Mountain, Wannian New Dike, Qiaotou Castle, Sanshan Floating Bridge, Jushan, Wenzi Mountain, Baima City, etc., which may have 200,000 people guarding this system, and there are also famous general Gao Qiu in charge.
Not to mention Jin Wushu's 20,000 people, even if the 150,000 people from the Dajin East Route Army have arrived, it will be difficult to break through this defensive system from the front. If there are really 200,000 people guarding there!
Moreover, even if it can be broken, Wanyan Jiemu and Wanyan Zongwang will not be able to do that. Who doesn’t know that the strength of the Song army is to defend and build cities? The weakness of the Jin army is to attack cities. If you use your own shortcomings to attack others’ strengths, you will not be fools? Even if you can win, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
In addition, even if the Jin army was willing to suffer huge casualties, the strongholds such as Dalishan, Tiancheng Bridge Bridge Tower City, and Wannian New Dike North Dike could not achieve decisive victory.
As long as the Song army demolished Tiancheng Bridge in time, they could protect Jushan, Wenzi Mountain, Baima City, and Wannian New Dike and continue to confront the Jin army's river.
So as long as the Song army completed the deployment of Dali Mountain and Wannian New Dike and built a castle at the bridgehead of Tiancheng Bridge, the Jin soldiers should not really launch an attack.
"It's true, it's really a city! The city wall is at least ten feet high, and there are trenches outside. It seems that the city is not small. Not only does it cover the bridgehead of Tiancheng Bridge, but it is also connected with Wannian New Dike and Dali Mountain.
Aru, it seems that we can't defeat this city, at least we can't attack head-on."
Wanyan Wushu stood in the stirrups, looking at the castle that was still under construction seven or eight miles away, and shook his head while talking.
Wanyan Alu and Guo Yaoshi also stood side by side with him on horseback, surrounded by more than a hundred Jurchen knights. More than a thousand steps behind them, 20,000 Jin soldiers had already formed a formation of radius.
Obviously, Wanyan Wushu was already scared by the sudden appearance of "One Night City". He didn't know that there was a sandbag building. In his concept, building a castle with a circumference of 2,000 steps and a height of more than 1 meter will cost 20,000 people to work for ten or eight days, right?
Wouldn’t there be more than 100,000 or 200,000 people working together if they were covered up in one night?
Wanyan Alu also felt his scalp tingling when he looked at the castle in front of him. Although this "one-night city" is still an L city, it seems that it has not been completed in the end, and there are still many people working together.
But the main forces on the Jin soldiers have not arrived yet, and the siege equipment has not yet begun to be built without seven to eight days of preparation, so it is impossible to start siege.
And when the Jin soldiers prepared everything, the city in front of them, the strongholds on Dali Mountain, and the siege built on Wannian New Dike should be completed.
"Fourth Brother," Wanyan Alu also frowned tightly, "Kaifeng Mansion is just a hundred miles away. We really won't go?"
Wanyan Wushu gritted his teeth, "Of course we have to go! But we can't bite the bullet and attack our Jurchens for a lot of talents? How many Han people are there? We will lose if we change ten ones! If we want to attack the city in front of us, we will have to change our lives one to one! Can we do such a thing?"
"Fourth Prince," Guo Yaoshi, who lost his beloved daughter, said to Wu Shu with a sad look on his face, "Would we go back to Liyang County first?"
Although he was worried that his daughter would be humiliated after being captured, his life still costs 20,000 people under the knife of 100,000 or 200,000 people. This is a life-threatening death! Moreover, he has seen what Taiwei Gao’s army is like, not under the ever-winning army!
If the 100,000 or 200,000 people of Taiwei Gao were so powerful, then Wanyan Wushu would be defeated!
At that time, the one who stays behind the palace to be cannon fodder will definitely be his own hundreds of people!
"Retreat back to Liyang County?" Wanyan Wushu snorted, "What's the hurry? Gao Qiu's soldiers have not come out yet, so we retreat now. Wouldn't we escape by looking at the wind? A certain family is not afraid of many others! Besides, if our brigade wants to detour across the river, someone must stare at Gao Qiu's army here in Dalishan!
The order from a certain family was passed, and the entire army set up camp on the spot, and the family was going to confront Gao Qiu at the foot of Dali Mountain!"
"Your Majesty, the Jin thieves have begun to set up camp 10 miles north of Tian Castle!"
In Tian Castle (the newly built One Night City), Zhao Kai, who had just returned to the Central Army's tent, was about to take a break, and then took Guo Tiannu (also known as Gao Tiannu) back to a tent in Jushan to continue the unfinished "questioning".
At this moment, he suddenly received a bit unexpected news.
Zhao Kai originally thought that Jin Wushu would leave after seeing his "one-night city" so that he could take a breath.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wushu, the evil thief, didn't give up and set up camp 10 miles outside Tiancheng Castle!
What is he trying to do?
"He Ji, have you seen it clearly?" Zhao Kai, who had never closed his eyes since the night before yesterday, looked at He Ji, who had just returned from the city and was also sleepy, and his eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
His army is really exhausted now. If he can rest for a few days and then rectify his defense, then the Sanshan Floating Bridge can rest assured.
But the 20,000 people from the Jin thief were just under his nose, so I couldn’t rest well!
"Your Majesty, I can see clearly!" He Ji replied, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Jin thieves want to confront us on the north bank of the Yellow River!"
Zhao Kai scratched his head, "Come, call together the generals!"
As if after that, Zhao Kai turned his head and asked Guo Tiannu who was standing in the tent as a slave, and asked with a smile: "Goddess, why don't Jin Wushu leave?"
Guo Tiannu smiled and said, "The official family, I guess Wu Shu should be waiting for the main official family of the Jin thief. Don't worry about him, just take a rest."
Zhao Kai nodded gently and thought to himself: After resting, you can't just let you go! You are a witch and must have done a lot of bad things. You must explain them clearly! If you do too many bad things, you cannot forgive it!
When he was thinking about how to punish the witch Guo, He Guan, Han Shizhong, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke and others had already arrived one after another.
They also knew that the Jin thieves were setting up camp, so after entering the tent, they spoke to Zhao Kai in a verbal way.
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to the golden thieves. Let's just strengthen the fortress and be careful to set up defenses!"
"Your Majesty, our men are too sleepy now. We still have to let everyone slow down and go to fight with the Golden Thief after they have enough rest!"
"Your Majesty, the army of kings from all over the world is coming. As long as we can persist in the Sanshan Floating Bridge for ten months, we will not be afraid of the golden thieves crossing the Yellow River!"
Zhao Kai listened to the suggestions put forward by these people, frowned tightly, as if he was also thinking hard about a good plan to defeat the enemy. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a proposal.
"Good minister," Zhao Kai called Han Shizhong's font size, "What kind of good ideas do you have? Tell me quickly!"
Han Shizhong was also stunned by Zhao Kai's question, and thought to himself: The Sa family is just a fighter, but the official family always asks the Sa family to give him advice? Isn't it the job of a civil servant to give advice?
By the way, the official family didn't seem to bring a few civil servants to the front line, and they all stayed in Jushan, and no one followed him across the river.
Thinking of this, Han Shizhong had to reluctantly give advice for Zhao Kai.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan. Not to mention retreating to the enemy, I can at least suppress the Jin thief on the opposite side!"
"What are the strategies?" Zhao Kai asked with a smile.
"Leave a letter of war!" Han Shizhong said, "Your Majesty can place a letter of war against the Jin thieves in the name of Taiwei Gao, and ask the main force of the Jin thieves to go to the foot of Dali Mountain to fight to the death!"
"Haha, a clever plan!" Zhao Kai slapped his hands and said with a smile, "Good minister is a civil and military genius. Then I will give the Jin thieves a battle table, saying that Gao Qiu had entrustment to command 800,000 imperial guards at this point, and wanted to fight to the death with the Jin thieves' army, so that Jin Wushu could quickly call the Jin thieves' army to Dalishan!"
"Your Majesty," He Guan reminded at this time, "who can do it for the envoy?"
"This" Zhao Kai glanced through his big tent and saw Cao Li huddling in the corner.
Of course, among the three students who wrote to Fuque, Cao Li and Shen Changsheng had the best official career. They both became Zhao Kai's aides and served as the driver of the camp in person. Especially Cao Li, who had arranged an interrogation of Guo Tiannu before, which was really a matter of simplicity!
Zhao Kai is now preparing to promote him, and before he is promoted, he has to give him a chance to make meritorious service to the enemy camp to lay a war letter, which is good!
"Cao Li!" Zhao Kai said, "You go to the Jin camp! Remember, no matter what happens, you can't say that I'm on the front line, do you know?"
After hearing this, Cao Li's face turned pale. He looked at Cao Cao who looked a little like a white-faced Cao Cao. However, since Zhao Kai called him his name, he had to stand up with his teeth, but he still didn't dare to accept the order, and just stood there hesitantly.
