Chapter 155 Helping Kaifeng
The second battle between Liangshan and Jinbing under Jinan Province was finally won by Liangshan.
Less than half of the 80,000 horses brought by Wanyan came back this time, and the rest either died in battle or became prisoners of Liangshan.
At this point, Wu Qimai no longer dares to eliminate Song Qing.
After Song Qing handed over the cleaning of the battlefield and the placement of prisoners to Wu Yong and others, he immediately rushed to the Kaifeng battlefield with 10,000 cavalry.
Yue Fei rushed back with Lin. When he saw Liang Shan's powerful cavalry, he was speechless. And this time he did not hide from Song Qing.
Song Qing was as enthusiastic as Yue Fei when he first met, as if he was not the general manager of Liang Shan, but the flat-headed little man at the beginning.
Due to the urgency of the battle ahead, the two did not have a deep talk. Song Qing knew what Yue Fei was thinking, so he would not put forward words to attract him. Just like Han Shizhong, he can stay at any time. If you have any other ideas, don't blame me for being cruel.
After converging 20,000 infantry, Song Qing only took a short rest and immediately waved his army to Bianliang. What did Song Qing think in his heart that made Yue Fei more and more confused?
Who can guess Song Qing's mind? Familiar with this history, he knows that since he has not raised a flag to rebel, he must show his loyalty in front of the world. Now for him, any territory and official position are fake, and only people's hearts are real.
At this time, the news of Wanyan Zongwang's camp under the Jinan Prefecture has been sent to the camp of Wanyan Zongwang.
After receiving this news, Wanyan Zongwang was really surprised, but he did not plan to withdraw from the army. What he is thinking now is that the general can't do it, doesn't it mean that he can't do it? At the same time, another 50,000 fresh troops just arrived here. He didn't believe that 150,000 troops could not compete with 30,000 horses in Liangshan.
In these days, he has never tried his best to attack the city, just to preserve his strength and destroy Song Qing's Liangshan people. At the same time, he also repelled several people who came to King Qin.
Now Bianliang in Tokyo has been completely isolated. In addition to the Liangshan people who are coming here, we can't hear that the army of the King of Service is coming here for the time being.
Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 troops are besieging Taiyuan and sweeping Hebei. At present, there are no troops to help him, but these 50,000 horses are Tian Hu's rebels.
Tian Hu has been having a good time in Hebei. Now that the master has come, he has to perform even more desperately. Therefore, the so-called elite 50,000 people came to Kaifeng to help.
30,000 to 150,000, if you don't know, you will definitely think Song Qing is crazy.
Of course, Song Qing was not crazy, but he did not expect Tian Hu to join in the fun. In fact, when he first received the Jin Bing's two-way attack on Song, he secretly transferred 50,000 horses from the state capitals to gather in Feng County, Xuzhou. It is jointly managed by Qin Ming, Guan Sheng and Dong Ping.
Because the Jin soldiers came from the north and Liangshan blocked the news quite tightly, even the imperial court did not know that there was a Liangshan army stationed in Xuzhou now.
The original idea was to use 80,000 to 100,000, and with various tactics, Song Qing was still sure to drive away the Jin soldiers, but now there are 50,000 more, and the situation is a little different.
Tian Hu's 50,000 army is not at all to worry about. Song Qing can defeat them with only 30,000 horses led by him. The problem is that there are still 100,000 gold soldiers, who are all solid soldiers. 80,000 horses still need to be cautious, not to mention 50,000 more!
Song Qing led 30,000 horses to camp in Dongming, a hundred miles away from Kaifeng. This is the only place where they can rely on the land to camp. If they camp in the plain, I'm afraid that the camp has not been completed, and the golden soldiers will arrive.
After the camp was established, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation. At this meeting, Song Qing made an exception to let Yue Fei and Han Shizhong also attend.
At this moment, Song Qing has no way back. If he leads his troops back to Liangshan, the dream in his heart will obviously stop. So he can never retreat.
The generals also knew the steepness of the form, but none of these good men who came down from Liangshan proposed to retreat.
The atmosphere was a little depressing. After Song Qing first introduced the enemy's posture, he gave the right to speak to the generals.
Lin Chong said, "Can the mines we use under Jinan City continue to be used?"
Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "This thing is the most suitable for defense, but we are going to attack now. At the same time, from the perspective of Wanyan Zongwang, he already knows that we have mines, so he will definitely order the people and horses of Tianhu to act as cannon fodder, and then give us a fatal blow at the critical moment."
It is indeed a problem to have traitors like Tian Hu. Even if Song Qing puts on a newly developed gunpowder catapult, it is just empty gunpowder and can't hurt Jin Bing.
As for the heavy armored cavalry, it is even more useless. Jin Bing already knows the secret of the serial horse and will definitely take corresponding measures, so Song Qing did not bring the heavy armored cavalry at all on this trip.
And even if you want to plant mines, it may not be too late, because in front of the camp, Liang Shan's scouts have encountered the Jin soldiers, and the two sides have damaged each other. From this point, it is not difficult to see that Jin Bing has strengthened the monitoring of Liangshan people.
In fact, if there were no traitors of Tian Hu, Song Qing would greet them directly with explosives after the encounter between the two armies. Of course, it won't work now, so how to solve these traitors is the top priority.
Gao Chong was young and held his fist and said, "General manager, give me a horse. I'll pick Tian Hu's dog's head for you. Let's see if his traitors dare to be arrogant?"
This is not a place to show up. Song Qing couldn't help staring at Gao Chong, but his eyes naturally fell on Yue Fei.
"Brother Yue, what good strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"
Although Yue Fei is talented, he obviously doesn't have many opportunities to exercise, and he has not commanded more than 10,000 people in combat, so Song Qing's question made him a little embarrassed.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I agree with this little brother. First defeat the people and horses of Tian Hu, and then fight with the golden soldiers."
Han Shizhong couldn't help but interrupt: "If the court can send a man to work with us inside and outside, it would be a good policy."
After Han Shizhong finished speaking, he suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were a little special, a little like looking at idiots, and even Yue Fei, who came to move troops, looked like this.
It suddenly occurred to me that I was now Liang Shan's general and no longer an officer in the imperial court. From another perspective, it is a miracle that those soldiers of the imperial court can now defend the city. Do you still expect them to send troops to respond to each other? It's really a little too obvious.
After understanding this, Han Shizhong was not discouraged. After all, he had been in the Liangshan army for some time, and his experience was not comparable to Yue Fei.
Hugged his fist and said, "My subordinates agree with the idea of Brother-in-law and General Xiao Gao to defeat the tiger first. At the same time, Jin Bing will besiege Bianliang and fight against us, so I expect that Jin Bing will be dominated by Tianhu, and Jin Bing will not be too many."
Han Shizhong's words undoubtedly opened a window for everyone, yes! Jin Bing doesn't know whether the people and horses in the city will cooperate with Liangshan's army, and Bianliang City is so big that Jin Bing should maintain their siege. At the same time, they have to guard against the people and horses in the city and people outside the city from attacking them. They are bound to leave heavy troops to besiege Bianliang, which undoubtedly gives Liangshan people a chance.
This alone shows that Han Shizhong has begun to show his military talents.
Song Qing suddenly said, "If I hand over 10,000 cavalry to your command, how many chances do you have to win against the 50,000 horses of the field tigers?"
Han Shizhong was stunned at first, and then felt a little blood rushing. He really wants to agree. Isn't that what he has always dreamed of? But when I think of my identity, my heart can't help but feel a little cold.
He held his fist and said, "Shizhong is not worthy of such love"
Song Qing said righteously, "When did I, Liangshan, get someone as a noble and cheap person? My brother is still in the army! That's it. Please ask Brother Yue and Gao Chong to help you in order to decide the battle, then you will be the head of this battle."
Han Shizhong didn't postpone it any longer and said in a low voice: "It will not be humiliated"
Song Qing's move is undoubtedly very bold. You know, they only have 30,000 people now. If they can't go down to the field tiger in the first battle, they are likely to be dumped by the golden soldiers.
Although there are still 50,000 people on Qin Ming's side, most of them are infantry. How can they fight against the golden soldiers? Therefore, if this battle is defeated, Song Qing and others can only return to Liangshan to become bandits.
At this time, Song Qing is more like a gambler. He just wants to oppress the whole family on the two famous generals of the future Southern Song Dynasty.
Gao Chong is still young. As long as he goes to the battlefield, he will be happy. It doesn't matter who commands him. Moreover, after being taught a lesson by Song Qing last time, he has become much more stable and no longer looks like he has been arrogant in the past.
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei can't be as indifferent as high pets. Both of them have a heavy feeling in their hearts, that is, they have gratitude to Song Qing and the excitement hidden in their bones.
After coming out of Song Qing's account, the two took Song Qing's arrow to receive the cavalry, and then planned how to deal with Tian Hu's 50,000 horses.
Although the people and horses of Tianhu are rabble, they have also stepped on horses and become cavalry after being equipped by the golden soldiers.
However, Han and Yue are not worried about this. When will he still be a mob? Compared with Liangshan, the 10,000 well-trained cavalry, it is not a grade at all. So the two are sure to defeat them in one fell swoop.
After the generals left, Zhu Wu couldn't help saying, "Chief, after all, it didn't take long for these two to come to Liangshan. Isn't it a little too casual to give 10,000 cavalry to them like this?"
Isn't Song Qing's heart hanging in the air? But it can't be revealed at all, even if it is close to Lin Chong.
smiled and said, "You don't need to be suspicious, and there is no doubt about using people. This is my consistent principle of employing people, and I am convinced that they will not let me down."
paused and said, "Brother, if you don't like to hear something, we Liangshan are brave and brave, and there are many fierce generals who can fight, except for the lack of handsome talents who can be alone, don't you think?"
Zhu Wu thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand. I will fully support the decision of the general manager."
Song Qing nodded. Before he could speak, a deep sound of horns suddenly came from outside the camp. Then a soldier came to report that Tian Hu's army had killed this side and would soon be outside the camp.
