Chapter 420
The soldiers were silent, not because they were afraid of death, but because the commander had repeatedly ordered that the task of stepping on the white front army was not to fight, but to reconnoitre, and to avoid the enemy if they could. But Yang Zaixing's fierce reputation is not only terrifying, but also a little afraid of him, besides, he is still a commander, how dare a soldier make noise?
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing laughed and said: "I'm just joking, the commander's military order, how dare Yang disobey it?" At this point, he stared deeply to the east, and saw that on the vast plain, a smoke screen was raised from the dust, and the momentum of the sun was rising. Beneath the curtain of dust, from north to south, a black belt appeared where heaven and earth met. In the autumn wind, there was a faint noise. On closer inspection, a black dot gradually detached and came this way. The opposing striker is out!
"Let's go!" After the word came out between his teeth, Yang Zaixing turned his horse's head and led his subordinates to run west like the wind.
Dozens of miles away, on the shore of Baishui, the Song army was camping. Throughout the ages, the method of camping is a skill that those who lead the troops must know. The back of the mountain is dangerous, the face is easy, the access to the woodcut, the place where the pastoral drink is similar, it can be used as a camp. Xu Wei is obviously well versed in this, backed by the only Jinsu Mountain in the north of Huazhou, bordering Baishui in the north and facing the plains. By this time, the soldiers had erected a fence of trees cut down from the mountain, and inside there were various military tents of various sizes. Officers and soldiers walked endlessly. The troops in charge of the guard have long since moved away from the camp and are ready to respond. Here, however, it is an "enemy-occupied zone".
All the forwards returned to the camp one after another, but no abnormalities were found. It's just that Huazhou was originally a rich land, and together with the wolf smoke, this place was the most seriously damaged. The Ma army often traveled more than ten miles, but could not meet a single living person. As far as the eye can see, there are barren fields and ruined villages...... Yang Zaixing's team rushed into the camp, and after he ordered the brothers to rest, he asked where the marshal was, and searched for it alone. At that time, the Chinese army's big tent had not been set up, and Xu Jiuzheng, Wu Jue, Ma Kuo, Yang Yan and others were talking about something in the account. Yang Zaixing dismounted from afar, strode forward and called: "Handsome! ”
"Coming back? What, is there a situation? Xu Wei saw that his expression was different, so he asked.
Yang Zaixing gave a four-way gesture to several commanders, and then replied in a deep voice: "A large Jin army appeared in the east, only fifty miles away. Judging from the humble position, the opponent of our army has arrived. ”
Wu Jue frowned: "A large Jin army? Are you sure?
Yang Zaixing glanced at him, although the other party was a chief, there was obviously still a trace of unhappiness on his face. I'm not a three-year-old baby, can I be wrong? Are you eating dry rice when I, the commander of the White Army? He replied: "If there is a mistake, be willing to accept military law." ”
Wu Jue was rejected by him, and he didn't ask any more questions, and said to himself: "The other party must know the movement of our army, and this will not retreat but advance...... I wonder who the other party will be? ”
"Wanyan Lousu's son, Wanyan living girl." Xu Wei said casually. He basically didn't know much about this Jurchen general, only that the other party was Lou Su's son. But since Lou Su sent him to Guanzhong Pingyuan to confront him, naturally he couldn't be a straw bag. And the other party's move is not just that he doesn't want to show weakness. Leading the troops to fight, paying attention to the virtual and the real, showing nothing, showing nothing, and showing nothing, the living girl wants to disturb the audio-visual, and at the same time inspire the morale of the army.
Wu Jue obviously figured this out, and said: "The purpose of Wanyan Living Girl's move is not to show strength......
"No, it's really a show of strength, but not to our army, but to his troops!" Ma Kuo took over the conversation.
Wu Jinqing was unhappy in his heart, glanced at the other party, and asked, "What does Yizi mean by being a brother, what should our army do?" ”
Ma Kuo faced his inquiry and replied: "According to the original plan, go straight forward and fight quickly!" ”
Yang Yan, who had not spoken, muttered at this time: "The actions of the Wanyan Living Women's Department have restrained the Chang'an region, so that I can't take care of Huanqing. Since it is containment, his strength cannot be underestimated. Moreover, although the other side is trying to contain it, the forces are prepared for the possibility of war. I think that I should wait and see for a while before I want to be stable. Everything is to ensure the smooth implementation of the whole plan. ”
His words surprised Xu Wei very much! You must know that Yang Yan has always been regarded as a fierce general, attacking fortifications, defending cities, and field battles, and his troops are all powerful shields and hammers to open the way for the whole army. His temper has always been known for being fiery, and he is more aggressive when it comes to problems. But now, when he said this, Xu Wei really let him see his progress. Regardless of whether his opinion was right or wrong, he had thought about it beforehand, which made Xu Wei very happy.
The generals were arguing, each expressing their opinions, Xu Wei waved his hand to stop the subordinates, and said loudly: "If you only focus on the battle in front of you, it is not convenient to gain insight into the enemy's intentions. From the overall situation of Song Jin and the situation in Shaanxi, it is easy to understand what Wanyan wants to do. ”
When all the generals pondered this sentence, Ma Kuo smiled conceitedly, looked at Xu Jiu and said, "The words of the great commander are reasonable. The Jin army launched an offensive this time, and the intention was just to go sideways. They suddenly waved their troops to Huanqing in order to attack the unprepared, and at the same time to avoid our army, break the deadlock in Shaanxi, and find a breakthrough in order to plot the strategy of the whole of Shaanxi. "It is worthy of being a person who has traveled to various countries, has seen the world, and can see the overall situation. In a few short sentences, Jin Jun's intentions were clearly analyzed.
Xu Wei nodded: "Yes, the Jin army will focus on Huanqing and only contain our army." This shows that in Wanyan Lousu's consideration, it is naturally best that the Guanzhong Plain can avoid war. But now our army has crossed Huazhou and is forced to the front. In order to show her strength to her subordinates, Wanyan Huonu did not retreat but advanced, and put on a posture of dueling with our army. ”
Speaking of this, he himself shook his head and laughed: "Actually, if the living girl continues to retreat, will our army dare to chase after it?" ”
Does this need to be asked? If he continues to retreat, my army will probably not dare to continue advancing. On the Guanzhong Plain, it was originally conducive to the cavalry advantage of the Jin army. He has a strong army in his hand, and when he retreats again and again, fools will also think about whether there is fraud. But now he didn't retreat, but threw himself in front of him...... "Hmph, it seems that Lou Su's son is not much smarter than his father." If he retreats, he will really contain our army. Now he will come forward suddenly, and if he does not hit him, who will he hit? Dashuai, how about a showdown with him tomorrow? Admiral Aribe asked aloud.
"Of course! He shows strength to his subordinates, and if our army does not seek a quick battle, it will be tantamount to doing him a favor. Let the Jin army feel that you see, we are not advancing but retreating, and the Song army is really afraid and does not dare to fight. Tell the order, tonight the brethren recuperate, and tomorrow morning they will have a full meal and go to war with the Jin army! ”
