11. Siege of the city to send reinforcements 4
Because it was the light cavalry of the Jin army, galloping back and forth on the battlefield, and did not do close combat with the Song army, but was only a distance of dozens of steps, firing bows and arrows at the Song army, or throwing spears, as soon as the Song army chased out, they immediately retreated, leading the Song army out of a distance, and then concentrated several troops to surround the Song army.
Bi Zaiyu once tried to let the men and horses on both wings of the Song army pursue him twice, but he was defeated by the sudden reaction of the Jin army, and lost hundreds of men and horses. Bi Zai encountered the situation, and he did not dare to order a small force of men and horses to pursue the Jin army. You can only stabilize the formation and use bows and arrows to deal with the Jin army.
However, the light cavalry of the Jin army was very scattered, and they galloped back and forth at an extremely fast speed, and the bows and arrows of the Song army did not pose much threat to them. Moreover, the Jin army can also return fire with bows and arrows, so both sides suffer casualties on each other, and no one can take advantage.
Wanyan Changzhi's goal is very simple, that is, he will never fight a decisive battle with the Song army in a position close to the city wall, but he will continue to harass the Song army with a small force of men and horses, once the Song army can't bear it and rushes forward as a whole to kill, then the formation will inevitably be loose. In this way, the Jin army's Tiefutu has the opportunity to show its skills, and it can also use the Jin army's habitual tactics of left and right abductors and horses to detour from both wings to defeat the Song army.
However, Bi Zaiyu also knew this very well, so no matter how the Jin army harassed him, Bi Zaiyu insisted on not moving the numb knife formation, so that they always maintained a strict and dense formation. So that the Jin army has no chance to take advantage of it from the beginning to the end. I only hope that the Jin army will attack in a big way after a long time of attacking. In this way, the power of the Song army's Ma Zha Knife Formation could be fully exerted.
The two sides went back and forth in such constraints and counter-constraints, and before they knew it, the sky was approaching dusk. The battle was not fierce on this day, but the back and forth made the soldiers on both sides tired, so they had to withdraw their troops. Since there was no large-scale fighting, the number of soldiers killed on both sides was about the same, less than a thousand, which can be regarded as inferior.
It seems that once he won a great victory in Xinzhou, it was really not lucky, but judging from the calm attitude shown today, this person is also a famous general, I can't imagine that in addition to Yang Yan in the Southern Song Dynasty, there are such outstanding figures. And Bi Zai also admired Wan Yan Changzhi's use of soldiers, he was not moved by the form of the battlefield at all, and always adhered to the correct tactics, Yang Yan's admiration for Wan Yan Changzhi is really reasonable, this opponent is really much more difficult than Po Sa.
In the following days, the two sides lined up every day, but neither of them was willing to attack easily, and still insisted on trying to lure the other side in and out first, and the result was a stalemate for several days, but they still suffered casualties on each other, regardless of victory or defeat. And the number of casualties per day is not much, generally not more than 1,000. But Bi Zaiyu was a little anxious, because the number of the Song army was less than that of the Jin army after all, so it was not good for the Song army to be consumed.
However, in the past few days, the spies of the Song army have found out the specific situation of the distribution of the Jin army's troops, and the Jin army has stationed 15,000 men and horses in Shaxi Town and Yongfeng respectively, apparently preparing to guard against the Song army in Dexing and Pucheng.
After discussing with Gao Zhen, Liu Fuwu, Zhang Shiyan, Qi Dazhu and others, Bi Zaiyu believed that Wanyan Changzhi was much more difficult to deal with than Posa, and now it was difficult to defeat the Jin army by relying only on the men and horses of Xinzhou.
After discussing and deciding, Bi Zaiyu immediately ordered Dexing and Pucheng to send troops to Xinzhou to prepare for a big battle with the Jin army.

The red sun rose high, shining in the waves of Yongfeng Creek, and countless birds and birds that were startled by the passing of the army flew over the two banks of Yongfeng Creek, casting speckled shadows on the earth.
It was April, and in the afternoon, it was very hot. After a day's journey, Song Jun was a little tired, Liu Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked a lieutenant general beside him, "How far is it from Shinshu now?" How far is it from Yongfeng? ”
The lieutenant replied, "My lord, this is still forty miles away from Shinshu, and only thirty miles away from Yongfeng. ”
Liu Bao nodded and looked back at the undulating Wuyi Mountains behind him. Said: "It's almost here, find a place to camp in the village, and then send a letter to Bi Zaiyu, saying that we have arrived and are waiting for his next dispatch." ”
At this time, the former commander of the front army of the palace said: "Lord Liu, it is still early now, and it is still far from Yongfeng, I think we should go forward a little further." It is closer to Yongfeng, and you can also walk less when attacking Yongfeng in the future. ”
Liu Bao shook his head and said: "The men and horses are very tired now, and this time we are attacking Yongfeng with the Xinzhou people and horses, just to take the Jin army by surprise and attack it unprepared." If you go too close to Yongfeng, it will be easy to be discovered by Yongfeng's Jin Army, and it will not be good. I think it's still going down to the village here, waiting for Bi Zhenfu's orders. ”
After Bi Zaiyu's order was passed to Pucheng, Liu Bao was very unhappy in his heart, because Bi Zaiyu was just a five-grade doctor, less than thirty years old, and he was a dignified temperance envoy, and in turn he was still obeying the orders of a hairy boy who was less than half his age, no matter what, it also made Liu Bao feel very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Pucheng itself is located in the territory of Fujian Road, although it is close to Xinzhou, but it is separated by a Wuyi mountain range in the middle, and most of the Jin army will not attack Pucheng, and Liu Bao is very safe to garrison here. And Liu Bao has been in officialdom for a long time, and knows very well that in the current chaotic situation, it is important to preserve his strength, as long as he has soldiers in his hands, he can maintain his position, and even have the capital to bargain with the imperial court. Therefore, he did not want to send troops to Shinshu easily.
But Liu Bao also understands that once he gave up Chuzhou, which triggered the overall passivity, which made the court very dissatisfied, just because he still had soldiers and strength, the court couldn't help but take care of his own face. Although he only sent someone to complain to himself, there was no other punishment, and of course, this is also a warning, that is, he will not make an example. However, if you don't know what to do and continue to avoid the war like this, I am afraid that the court will lose patience with you. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be a lawsuit, but an inquiry.
Now Liu Bao has 30,000 horses, which is a lot less, but it is also said that it is not much. It's okay to bargain with the court, but it's much worse to openly confront the court. If the imperial court really wants to condemn the crime, Liu Bao can only change to other places in addition to pleading guilty and surrendering to the law.
But where can you still cast yourself? Although Zhao Kai, the king of Deng, also established himself as the emperor, Liu Bao knew that Zhao Kai's strength was not enough, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him in the current Jin and Tianlin Mansions, so he could be temporarily preserved. Once the Jin people and the imperial court have divided the winners and losers, no matter which side the winner is, Zhao Kai will be the next to clean up. Therefore, unless he has no choice, Liu Bao will never vote for Zhao Kai.
Then there is only one last way left, surrender to the Jinren. However, Liu Bao also knows that it is not easy to mix under the hands of the Jin people, not to mention whether he can get mixed up with his current status, he has to bear countless infamy, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be used as cannon fodder by the Jin State, so he is not desperate, and this road must not be taken.
At the same time, Liu Bao also thought about it from the other side, and once Bi met again to achieve a great victory in Xinzhou, which shows that this kid still has two hits, and the number of Jin troops is far less than once, maybe Bi will be able to defeat the Jin army again this time. If you lead your army into battle, you may be able to get a credit for following together. Moreover, Bi Zaiyu's two-way attack and the plan of hitting Yongfeng first, Liu Bao also thinks that he is somewhat sure, and he can take this opportunity to enhance his strength. Therefore, Liu Bao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to follow Bi Zai's order to send troops to attack Yongfeng.
After going down to the village, Liu Bao immediately sent someone to report to Yu Bi Zaiyu and asked him to immediately send troops from Xinzhou to attack Yongfeng on both sides. Then he ordered the soldiers to strictly guard Dazhai, and then attack Yongfeng after he met the troops again.
As a general who has experienced the Shaoxing era, Liu Bao also knows the way to preserve strength on the battlefield, the battle is not to fight, but to learn to fight selectively, hard battles, big battles may as well let others fight, and when they are exhausted from fighting with the enemy, when both sides are defeated, they will send troops to collect the endgame, and they will pick up a ready-made bargain. In this way, you don't have to fight hard with the Jin army, you can preserve your strength, and you can build up your military exploits, so why not do it.
Zhang Xun saw that Liu Bao had decided, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to get off and set up camp on the spot.
At the same time, Cao Xun, who was stationed in Dexing, also led the people of his headquarters to march south, went down to the village on the edge of Huaiyu Mountain, and approached Shaxi Town. After receiving these two news, Bi Zaiyu was very happy. Immediately discussed with Gao Zhen and decided to fight Yongfeng first, and then Shaxi Town. Because Liu Bao has a large number of men and horses, it is better to fight Yongfeng first.
Everyone discussed and decided, leaving Gao Zhen and Qi Dazhu to garrison Xinzhou, and Bi Zaiyu, Liu Fuwu, and Zhang Shiyan led 15,000 men and horses to attack Yongfeng's Jin army with Liu Baobu, and the Feng army all followed them this time. With the 30,000 horses under Liu Bao, the Song army dispatched a total of 45,000 troops, almost three times that of the Yongfeng Jin army, so all the generals felt that they were very sure of winning this battle.
After discussing the decision, Bi Zaiyu immediately sent the person sent by Liu Bao to deliver the letter back to tell Liu Bao that it was agreed that at the fourth watch this evening, the two groups of men and horses would attack Yongfeng together.
