Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The encirclement around the periphery is not tight, and there are gaps between the campfires that can be passed.

If the perimeter is infantry, the gap left is too large for the opponent to penetrate.Only the speed of cavalry can seal these openings!

Therefore, those military formations on the periphery must be cavalry troops! "

Yang Zhi was born as a general, and he was familiar with the art of war since he was a child. He quickly saw the clues from the distribution of bonfires down the mountain.

"Brother Yang Zhi, you are right! It is Mr. Xiaozhong who is trapped! All the brothers, go down the mountain with the Sa family, kill all those birds and gold soldiers, and save Mr. Xiaozhong!"

Lu Zhishen raised the sword in his hand and said to Yang Zhi and the others.

After Lu Zhishen returned to the Central Army of the Plant Division and became an officer again, of course his monk attire had to be changed.Therefore, his water-milled Zen stick is no longer needed.

In order to make it easier to fight the enemy, Lu Zhishen asked the blacksmith in the army to make him a long-handled broadsword weighing eighty catties, which was just right in his hand.

Seeing that Lu Zhishen was about to kill the Jin army and fight for his life, Yang Zhi hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brother, wait a minute! Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, if we rush down the mountain so recklessly, we will wake up the Jin army in vain. I'm afraid it won't help.

It's better for our army to hide quietly under the mountain and lurk in the woods.

After waiting for dawn, when Xiaozhong Jinglue is fighting against the Jin army, we will fight out from behind the Jin army, kill the generals and capture the flag, and cooperate with Xiaozhong Jinglue's Chinese army to defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop! "

Although Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi didn't bump into the scout horse sent by Zhongshi Zhong to contact them along the way, his strategy coincided with that of Zhongshi Zhong.

"Brother Yang Zhi is right, according to my brother's plan, our army sneaked to the foot of the mountain to ambush."

Lu Zhishen also thought that Yang Zhi's strategy of attacking back and forth was good.

So, under the leadership of Lu Zhishen and Guo Sheng, the [-] vanguard army quietly went down the mountain and approached the Jin army outside the forest.

Yang Zhi took Cao Zheng and a dozen brothers in charge of investigating the enemy's situation and set off first to remove the Golden Army guard post that might appear ahead.

Then, Cao Zhenghui tried to sneak through the Jin army's encirclement and get in touch with the Zhongjun army.

The tactic of cooperating from the inside to the outside and attacking the Jin army back and forth requires the tacit cooperation between the Central Army of Zhongshi and Lu Zhishen's army in order to deal a heavy blow to the Jin army.

The "green-faced beast" Yang Zhi is indeed a native of Taiyuan Prefecture, and he is very familiar with the Shaxiongling area.

Under the leadership of Yang Zhi, this team of more than a dozen people cleared out three guard posts of the Golden Army along the way, and arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.

Cao Zheng is in charge of intelligence work at Erlong Mountain, and he is best at stealth.

After going down the mountain, Cao Zheng quickly passed through the loose blockade of the Jin army and entered the middle army of the seed division.

Half an hour later, Cao Zheng came out of the middle army of the seed division again, sneaked all the way back to Yang Zhi's side, and at the same time brought the military orders from the seed division.

At this time, Lu Zhishen also came to the foot of the mountain in the dark with five thousand infantry.

Cao Zheng handed over the military order of the planting division to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi.

After General Yang Zhi read the order to Lu Zhishen, he was also stunned.

It turned out that what Mr. Zhong Jinglue wanted was for us to act as a surprise soldier and attack the back of the Jin army at a critical moment.

Chapter 9 Hopeless Waiting

On the basin plain in the east of Yuci County, the sun rose again, casting golden sunlight on the camps of the Jin and Song armies.

Both Wanyan Loushi and Zhong Shizhong got up early at the same time, looking at the opponent's army and horses, planning the next battle in their hearts.

Yesterday, after the central part of the Song Army's division was attacked by the Jin Army's iron cavalry, although thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, the more than [-] Song Army did not retreat in panic. Army cavalry.

The Song army stood firm and did not even try to break out of the encirclement in the dark, which made Wanyan Loushi judge that the Song army had no intention of giving up Yuci County.Obviously, Song Jun was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

General Song Jun is very courageous!

Wanyan Loushi also has some admiration for the teacher.

However, Wanyan Loushi knew in his heart that it was impossible for the reinforcements Song Jun was waiting for to arrive.

Last night, Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Balisu sent someone to notify Wanyan Loushi that the two Song armies from Longde Mansion and Fenzhou had been successfully intercepted, so the Song army from Yuci County It has become a lone army and will not wait for rescue.

Although the victory is in hand, Wanyan Loushi does not intend to launch an attack on the Song army immediately.

Wanyan Loushi was deeply impressed by the power of the Song Army's divine arm bow. Although the Song Army could be defeated at this time, the Jin Army had to pay the price.

What Wanyan Loushi pursued in this battle was not to defeat the Song army, but to defeat and wipe out the Song army with minimal casualties.

Wanyan Loushi didn't want to do the stupid thing of killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself by eight hundred.

Wanyan Loushi saw the weakness of the [-] Song army surrounded by him at a glance.This Song army did not carry supplies and food, so it could not fight for a long time.Morale would quickly collapse if they did not wait for the reinforcements they were hoping for.

When the Song Army collapsed and fled, it was time for the Jin Army's cavalry to exert their full power.

Wanyan Loushi got up early not to arrange an attack on the Song army, but to mobilize the army and trap the Chinese army of Zhongshi under the Yuci county.

If the Song Army chooses to break through, in which direction will it rush?

Wanyan Loushi rode on the horse and looked around, observing the surrounding terrain.

In the direction of Taiyuan Fucheng in the northwest, the Jin army besieged the city. The Song army had no food and grass, and could not even capture Yuci County.

After the Song army is short of food, they will definitely choose to retreat and return to the Song Dynasty, so the Song army in front of them has only two directions to go.

One way is to fight hard to the south, break through the heavy siege of the Jin army, rush to the Weisheng army, and join forces with the Yao Gu tribe of the Song army from Longde Mansion.

The other way is to retreat back to Shouyang County, and then retreat to Hebei.

Most of the Song army was infantry, and it was really difficult to defeat the interception of the Jin army's cavalry in the plains and join forces with Yao Gu's army.

However, going northwest across Shaxiong Ridge and fleeing back to Shouyang County is the only feasible option for the Song Army, which is dominated by infantry.

The hole between Killing Xiongling and Lutai Mountain crosses the Shuihe Valley, and Wanyan Loushi has deployed troops to cut it off.

Wanyan Loushi also believed that as long as the general of the Song army was not a mediocre general, he should have been able to predict that the way of retreating through the water valley would be cut off.

Therefore, the Song army probably would not have retreated through the Shuihe Valley. The only option was to abandon the horse and cross the Shaxiong Ridge.

The steep mountain of Shaxiong Ridge can just stop the pursuit of the Jin Army cavalry.

Wanyan Loushi looked at the mountains in the northeast and fell silent.Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered people to call Wanyan Huonv, Yelu Mawu, Hao Shouzhong and others to him.

"Father, why did you call me here? But you want to launch an assault on the Song army in advance?"

Wanyan live girl dressed in full body, rode to Wanyan Loushi's side.

"Huo Nu, Ma Wu, Shou Zhong, look at that mountain forest, what's unusual?"

Wanyan Loushi pointed to a dense forest at the foot of Shaxiong Mountain in the northeast and asked.
