Gao Jinzhi said: "The commander-in-chief is right. If our army is blocked by the dry army, we can either retreat into the city and defend it, but in this way we will be passive; or we can defend with our backs against the city. , but once the battle is unfavorable, there is no way to withdraw, which is not much different from fighting against the tide!"

Xue Tong asked: "The commander-in-chief means to take the initiative to attack?"

Tan Daoji said: "Passive defense is too passive, and being led by the nose everywhere is not good for our army. Now our Wan Dajun has been out for more than half a year, and the cost is too high. The court has a faint sense of being unsustainable. The logistics supply is also decreasing day by day, and the emperor also sent a secret decree to the commander, asking him to end the war and return to the court earlier. I am afraid that the current situation cannot be ended if we want to end it. If we want to end it, we have to solve this problem Tens of thousands of troops will do!"

Speaking of this, Tan Daoji said: "What puzzles me is that when the Gan army went south to the north bank of the Yellow River, there were 4 troops, and 2 were sent to cooperate with Zhang Xing to fight Xiangzhou. Now Zhao Junsheng doesn't have 2, but he should have [-] , Why are there only [-] people left? Where did the nearly [-] people go? Xue Tong, didn’t you find that there were [-] fewer cadres when you guarded Linzi City? "

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, I really haven't found out when the cadres lost 2 people! But the general guessed that the 2 people who disappeared didn't go to Jeju? After all, Wang Xuanmo has led the army north to Jeju, Zhao Junsheng's news If he is well-informed, he should have gotten the news a few days ago, and it is normal to send 1 people to Jeju to deal with Wang Xuanmo! Just like this, Wang Xuanmo is really mysterious, after all, he only has [-] people!"

Tan Daoji had deep wrinkles on his forehead, and he was very annoyed: "Why is there no news about our secret work? We don't know how long it has been since the [-] troops disappeared, and how can we fight this battle when our eyes are darkened?"

An official next to him stood up in fear and cupped his hands: "This official is guilty, please be punished by the commander!"

"Punishment? What's the use of punishing you? Can you pay more attention to this?"

The intelligence officer said with a bitter face: "Marshal, it's not that the lower officials don't pay attention, it's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The secret workers also need to eat, marry wives and support their families. They can't even eat enough. I'm looking for a job to support myself, so I don't have the extra thought to inquire about the news!"

Tan Daoji's face was a little ugly, and he ordered Bo, who accompanied the army: "First allocate fifty gold from the military expenses to Lu Shixun!"

The commander of the army, Bo, said to the intelligence officer Lu Shixun: "Master Lu, your Imperial City Division's funds have always been allocated by the imperial court, but now you want to profit from our military expenditures. Isn't it outrageous?"

Lu Shixun smiled wryly and said: "The Imperial City Secretary looks at the scenery, but who actually knows our suffering? The salary is not much, and they hang their heads on their waistbands all day long to inquire about news. Many people can't bear to run away. !"

Tan Daoji waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you have to work hard after you get the money. This commander needs to know where the [-] disappearing soldiers have gone. If you have any news, report it as soon as possible!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Tan Daoji said to the generals: "When the army arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, I wanted to take Licheng, and then use Licheng as a pedal to fight against the enemy.

The army was circling around, but I didn't expect that we were still one step behind in the end!Later, the commander-in-chief lured the enemy to go deep and led the army to follow in pursuit, but Zhao Junsheng was not fooled, but took down the entire army of Qizhou steadily and steadily, and took down the surrounding cities during the attack on Linzi City. With a steady approach, we can no longer retreat, and there is no way to lure the enemy to go deep and lengthen their supply lines. The current situation forces us to fight with them!If the commander-in-chief ordered to retreat to the south again, I am afraid that more people in the court will think that the old man is raising his own self-esteem. The emperor has been very annoyed at the old man who has fought against Licheng for more than half a year. The military power will be taken away, so this battle has reached the point where it must be fought! "

Gao Jinzhi clasped his fists and said: "Commander, generals, the general thinks that our army is twice as strong as the dry army. If we really want to fight, we don't need to be afraid of them!"

It is no secret that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Everyone in the world knows that several times when the Northern Dynasty sent troops to the south, they won a complete victory. However, the previous few times when the Southern Dynasty troops went north, they were beaten back by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Not only did they fail to take advantage, On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses, which caused the generals of the Southern Dynasty to be afraid when they saw the generals of the Northern Dynasty, and the generals of the Northern Dynasty also looked down on the Southern Dynasty army.

Tan Daoji ordered: "Make preparations immediately, and the army will set off northward to meet the dry army in an hour's time!"

"Yes!"

Under the pressure of the situation, more than [-] Liu Song troops had to send troops under the command of Tan Daoji to face Zhao Junsheng's [-] dry troops.

Although the snow had stopped, the wind did not stop, and the cold wind kept pouring into the clothes. The Liu Song soldiers with thin clothes were shivering one by one as they marched.

Chapter 641

The army was marching eastward, the horses and the knights on the horses were breathing hot air, and the horseshoes made a smacking sound when they stepped on the snow.

Because of her child, Hua Mulan stayed in Linzi City, and made plans after seeing the outcome of the war.

A scouting horse galloped forward from the front, panting in front of Zhao Junsheng, reining in the reins and reporting: "Your Majesty, more than [-] soldiers from Liu Song's army are coming towards our army, [-] miles away from here!"

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was actually surprised that Tan Daoji dared to fight him in such weather. He thought for a while and asked, "Dongfang, Cui Gong, why do you think Tan Daoji took the initiative to fight our army? Did he think that he was more powerful than me?" Doubling the strength of the army can defeat our army?"

Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Tan Daoji may have to fight, and the Southern Court will not allow him to retreat forever!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Mr. Cui's guess is reasonable. According to our detailed report from Jiankang, many ministers of the Southern Dynasty court believed that Tan Daoji was suspected of supporting soldiers and raising thieves. There are already piles of memorials to impeach Tan Daoji, and Tan Daoji may not be able to withstand the pressure!"

Dongfang Chen asked: "How does Your Majesty plan to fight?"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the crowd and said: "Since ancient times, when two armies confront each other in the wild, they must first choose a favorable terrain. Let's also choose a place with higher terrain first!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng pointed to a small hill in front of the left and said, "Look there, let's set up camp under that hill! The total number of soldiers and horses on both sides is 10,000+, and it will not be possible to set up a decisive battle in a short while. , let's set up camp first, and then send a cavalry to find out the details of Liu Song's army!"

The army speeded up and arrived at the foot of the hill in a short time. Zhao Junsheng personally commanded the camp and sent people to climb up the mountain to set up guard posts and lookout posts. Once the enemy approached, the lookout posts on the mountain would be able to spot them. Get the message across without having to run down the mountain.

"Chang Kun, take three thousand light cavalry to find out the details of Liu Songjun's army. You must pay attention to safety. Many potholes are covered with snow, so you can't see them. Once you step on them, you will sink into them, so be careful!" Zhao Junsheng ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you will be careful in the end!"

After Chang Kun left with three thousand light cavalry, Zhao Junsheng commanded the soldiers to cut down trees as quickly as possible and set up a camp against the hill. The soldiers ate dry food and boiled water, and fed soybeans to the horses to replenish their physical strength.

Liu Songjun's scouts also quickly reported to Tan Daoji that the Gan army had arrived twenty miles away. Tan Daoji was worried that the cavalry of the Qian army would attack, so he immediately ordered the army to deploy an army formation against a large forest to prepare for the enemy. On the other hand, some soldiers were ordered to cut down trees and set up camps.

The 7-strong army stretched out more than a dozen miles in length during the march. How easy is it to line up into an army formation all at once?Tan Daoji could only line up [-] cavalry in the front, and then deploy the remaining [-] cavalry on the two wings. The infantry who came from behind gradually lined up in front of the camp according to his arrangement, in case the dry army came suddenly.

Tan Daoji's hunch was right, the cavalry that Ganjun really sent, Chang Kun came galloping with three thousand light cavalry and horses.

"Commander, General Gao Jinzhi reported to his subordinates that the forward three thousand light cavalry of the Qianjun army came to kill them. The distance from here is less than six miles. General Gao decided to lead the army to attack!" The messenger galloped to report to Tan Daoji .

What else can we do if we don't attack at this time?Standing still and waiting to be scattered by the Qianjun cavalry?Only by taking the initiative to attack can we strive for the initiative!

Tan Daoji said to the messenger: "Tell Gao Jinzhi that the cavalry of the dry army is powerful and invincible. This commander will arrange the sword and shield soldiers, long gun soldiers and gong nu soldiers to form a geese formation. If he can lead the cavalry of the dry army to It's best to come here!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Gao Jinzhi heard Tan Daoji's words relayed by the messenger. At this time, the cavalry of the dry army was only three miles away from him, and it would be too late if they didn't attack. He immediately ordered [-] cavalry to go up and fight.

Snow accumulation has more or less influence on the running of war horses. If there are no pits on the ground, it will be difficult for riding skills.

It's nothing for the superb cavalry, but it doesn't feel good for the Liu Song cavalry of the Southern Dynasty who are not very skilled in riding. The horses gallop in the snow, and the horseshoes often slip. The cavalryman couldn't control his body, and was thrown off his horse when the horse galloped at high speed.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Brothers, follow me and let the Liu Song cavalry of the Southern Dynasties see how powerful they are at riding and shooting!" Chang Kun shouted, waving his weapon.

Gao Jinzhi saw Chang Kun's flag, this is the enemy, the last time Chang Kun arrived in Licheng with 300 vanguard cavalry, Gao Jinzhi led [-] cavalry after he was ordered to kill them, only less than [-] people, he has not forgotten this hatred!

"Beigou, take your life!" Gao Jin was extremely jealous when he saw Chang Kun, and he grabbed his long gun and galloped towards Chang Kun.

Hearing this voice, Chang Kun saw that it was Gao Jinzhi. With a cruel smile on his face, he took out his bow and arrow and shot three arrows at Gao Jinzhi.

Gao Jinzhi swung his long spear and knocked two arrows away one after another. The third arrow was not aimed at him, but at his mount. The left front leg of the horse was shot, and a horse stumbled. Gao Jinzhi and his horse fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the ground was full of snow, and it didn't hurt to fall. He rolled a few times and got up. At this time, the cavalry of the dry army had already fired several waves of arrows at the cavalry of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasty. People kept getting shot off their horses.

A war horse that had lost its owner happened to run by, Gao Jinzhi immediately reached out to the saddle, and the whole person flew onto the horse's back, stretched out his hand, and with a swipe, he pulled out the sword at his waist and rushed towards him from the usual place. Kun cut over.

"Good time!" Chang Kun shouted, and slashed at Gao Jinzhi with the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand.

"Dangdangdang" weapons clashed several times in a row, and the two passed by each other, continuing to slash and kill the opponent's generals.

Chang Kun led the cavalry under his command to kill through the scattered formation of Liu Song's cavalry in one go. Under his leadership, the Qing cavalry of the dry army turned around and rushed towards Liu Song's cavalry again. With long and short weapons, he took out the cavalry gong again and kept shooting arrows at the Liu Song cavalry.

After several rounds of arrows were shot down, the Liu Song cavalry lost a large number of troops again. When they rushed closer, Chang Kun and the cavalry under his command put away their gong nu and took out their long and short weapons to charge close to the Liu Song cavalry.

This time, Liu Song's cavalry finally couldn't hold on anymore, and were completely dispersed by the Qianjun cavalry. Those who were killed died all over the place, and those who survived rode their horses and fled to the main formation.

Chang Kun led the cavalry to quickly turn around and chase wildly. While chasing and shooting arrows, they kept shooting and killing the Liu Song cavalry who were fleeing ahead. When the Liu Song cavalry fled back to the main formation, there were less than 700 people left.

Seeing that he was about to rush into the shooting range of Liu Song's gongnu soldiers, Chang Kun suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse galloped to the left, and the cavalry behind him turned in turn, galloping their horses , While shooting with a bow and arrow to kill Liu Songjun's front row infantry.
