Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Here is not far from Baode, they will not know that they will be ambushed by the Song Army before they reach their destination.

Chapter 673 The Ambush on Shanshen Ridge (Part [-])

"Report!" The messenger came quickly and said to Zheyun, Dutong of Linzhou, "Dutong, some members of the supply team have eaten up their stomachs."

"Those who have a bad stomach will stop first, find someone to replace them, and the rest will continue to march."

Obviously, in this situation, Zheyun is no stranger to it.

In ancient wars, not only commanding in front of the battle is an art, but also marching management is not an easy task.

Once people are on the road, all kinds of messy things will happen.

Not to mention bringing more than 1 people with them.

Zhang Zhi said, "Dutong, this place is only [-] miles away from the Yellow River. Baode is just across the Yellow River. Why don't you find a place to rest in front of you and recharge your batteries to prepare for the rush!"

"There are many mountains in this area, and there are hillsides in front of it. It is not a place to rest. When you get to the Yellow River, it is not too late to rest." Zheyun said.

"Du Tong is wise, it's due to the negligence of the lower officials." Zhang Zhi said, "However, it is impossible for enemy troops to appear in this area. The Song army went deep into the prefecture and dared not divide the troops at will."

At this moment, while speaking, there was a scream.

But saw one person in the team fall to the ground in response.

Before everyone recovered their senses, they saw countless icy metallic lusters appearing under the sunlight, pouring down from the mountain in front like a waterfall in an instant.

Sharp arrows appeared densely in the air, and the army below hadn't recovered their senses. One by one, the young boys were either nailed through the throat, or shot in the leg, or in the head.

In the panic, screams sounded one after another.

The vanguard was under attack, and the people in the middle heard the screams in front and vaguely saw the dense arrow rain flashing in the air, and suddenly became nervous.

The crowd was still a little panicked, and the surrounding officers shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Don't move casually! Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"

The officers barely stabilized the line.

But in addition to the screams in front, there was also a panic shout: "The enemy is attacking! There are enemies!"

Amidst the neighing of war horses, the crowd in front became more and more confused.

Zheyun looked up, but saw a row of people holding crossbow arrows up there.

"Array!" In a panic, Zhang Zhi shouted at the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers immediately raised the shields in their hands, forming a line of protection where the general was.

Zheyun's brain exploded, and he was really worried about what would happen.

He then fixed his eyes to the place next to him, which was a not too steep hillside.

"If the enemy has a cavalry ambushing there, it will be terrible!" Zhang Zhi said in horror. Just now he asserted that the Song army would not ambush.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the shadows of rows of cavalry emerging from the hillside.

The neighing of the war horse was especially ear-piercing amidst the screams of the valley.

Then rows of cavalry emerged quickly and began to dive down the hillside like waves.

In the panic of the Zhejia army, the sound of the Song army's charge and kill echoed in the valley like Hong Zhong Dalu.

As it went down, the speed of the cavalry wave became faster, and the gathering power became more terrifying.

It was as if the whole hillside was shaking.

They held spears in their hands, and the sharp tips of the spears shone coldly in the sun, making people afraid to look directly at them.

"Run away..." Zheyun's voice was like a wave in the raging sea.

This was a devastating blow to the Zhejia Army.

You must know that soldiers generally do not wear armor during the march.

The reason why the army is an army is because they have excellent equipment and an orderly formation, so that they can exert their collective strength well.

A soldier without armor, an army without formation, is no different from a mob.

The cavalry of the Song army poured down in a frenzy, directly smashing Zheyun's guards.

Everything was trampled to pieces like rotten wood.

Amidst the screams of despair, dust rolled up, and countless lives withered in the early summer sunshine and gentle mountain wind.

Even Zheyun himself was not spared. Before he had time to escape, he was picked up from his horse with a single shot by an extremely powerful Song Jun, and his chest was pierced.

Then the whole person was thrown away like a piece of rag, and then submerged in the torrent of iron hooves.

On April 23, when the battle broke out in Shanshenling, the Song army barracks in the west of Baode City became busy.

The soldiers were eating meat. After eating, they began to switch defenses, and those who were replaced also began to eat meat.

"Wu Shuai, the enemy army is gathering by the Yellow River. Obviously there are still people crossing the Yellow River. Are we really going to take the opportunity to kill them?" Wei Xiang, the general staff member, asked.

"What can you think of, but you can't think of it?" Wu Jie put on the helmet, then stretched out a hand, and the people on the side helped him put on the armor.

"Wu Shuai means that Zhekeqiu has already arranged an ambush to wait for us?"

As soon as Wei Xiang finished speaking, the scouts came back: "Report! Wu Shuai, General Counselor Wei, found some traces of cavalry twenty miles to the west."

"Understood." Wu Jie put on the armor in his hand, "Continue to explore."

After the scouts went down, Wei Xiang was silent for a while, and then said: "Wu Shuai is wise!"

"Remember! Don't underestimate any enemy!" Wu Jie said lightly, "Oh, my waist seems to be hurting a bit!"

"Wu Shuai, are you okay?" Wei Xiang asked with concern.

"It's okay, not to mention that Zhe Keqiu was once a famous general!" Wu Jie supported his waist with one hand, and turned his gaze to the direction of the Yellow River in the north. "If nothing else happens, Zhe Keqiu's main force has already crossed the Yellow River."

"Two days at the latest, there must be a big battle." Wu Jie added, "How many days is there enough meat?"

"The meat is enough for five days, and the rest of the food is still available."

"I ate all the meat in the past two days. By the way, tomorrow I will take my boys to run more, practice wrestling, cuju, tug-of-war, let them play to their heart's content."

"Why is that?" The new Wei Xiang obviously didn't understand Wu Jie's style of leading troops.

"The war is imminent, and the soldiers will inevitably be nervous. We must improve the atmosphere, soothe the morale of the army, and prevent the camp roar."

"The emperor goes to the Sixth Army, and the military order is like a mountain..." Wei Xiang excitedly recited the routine of the martial arts hall.

"Fart." Wu Jie said lightly, "Soldiers are all human beings, and if they are human, they will be nervous. We must recognize human weaknesses."

"This……"

"Go do it."

"Yes!" Wei Xiang didn't say much, since the commander-in-chief asked him to do it, it was a military order like a mountain.

"Damn it!" Wu Jie scolded, "This armor is so fucking heavy!"

In the evening, the scouts sent the information about the Song Army outside Baode City to the camp, which was in short supply.

"Wu Jie's soldiers are tug-of-war?" Zhe Keqiu was a little surprised.

"There are still people playing Cuju and wrestling."

"Is he here for the war, or for sightseeing?" Zhe Keqiu scratched his head, and couldn't help asking, "It reminds me of Gao Qiu."

"Zhe Shuai, Wu Jie is not in vain. In the third year of Jingkang, he crossed Taiyuan from Shaanxi, and fought Wanyan Saliha in Taiyuan Mansion for several months. Wanyan Saliha was once defeated by him." Wang Wang Zheng said.

"Ben Shuai knows!" Zhe Keqiu was a little annoyed.

Zhe Keqiu was indeed a famous general in the Northwest back then, but in the first year of Jingkang's support for Taiyuan Fuzhong, his performance was really stretching, and he was defeated by the Jin Army many times.

However, Wu Jie, a little-known junior, actually defeated the Jin army, and he was still an elite, which made him, a veteran, very upset.

Chapter 674 Surrounded and Killed the Song Army on Three Sides? (Second more)

"Where are the soldiers from Linzhou?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

He Zhongxing, the general manager of soldiers and horses, said: "There is no news about soldiers and horses in Linzhou, but they should arrive within three days at the latest."

"Three days?" Zhe Keqiu was obviously dissatisfied with this time, "Tomorrow the army will be rectified, who wants to be the former army commander?"

He Zhongxing came out and said: "The general is willing!"

"Okay, I will give you 1 horses, and you will go meet Wu Jie."

In the early morning of April 24th, while Wu Jie was still having breakfast, the messenger sent by Guo Hao arrived.

"Shuai Wu! Our army defeated the enemy at Shanshen Ridge, beheaded three thousand and captured five thousand!"

Wu Jie took the battle report and was overjoyed after reading it: "Good job!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xiang went outside the tent.

"Shuai Wu!"

"Come in!"

Wei Xiang walked in and said anxiously: "Shuai Wu, the enemy has made some movement."

"Oh?"

"The enemy army is gathering in formation."

"Zhe Keqiu is more anxious than I thought." Wu Jie was not in a hurry, he said, "Let Yang Zheng lead 5000 troops as the front army, and go to meet the Zhe family army!"

"Yes!"

In the morning, Song Jun's entertainment activities were all suspended.

The former army of the Zhejia army advanced towards the Song army, with the main force behind.

Yang Zheng led the front army of the Song Army, and responded to the enemy with the standard formation of the three armies on the left and right wings.

The tactics of the two sides are quite similar, with elite infantry in front, crossbowmen and archers in the rear, and the left and right wings are heavily defended.

The Zhejia Army used to be regarded as the Song Army, and Wu Jie was from the Western Army. The two sides are almost in the same system.

Even crossbow arrows are the same model.

The two sides first fired a wave of crossbow arrows at each other, and then each sent several battalions of forwards to fight in battle.

After fighting for more than an hour, they all played fairly restrained, there was no charge, and mutual testing to maintain the formation continued to be staged.

And both sides are obviously looking for each other's weaknesses, ready to win in a clever way.

As a result, on the first day, everyone was lonely, and even some of the army formations did not move, and the soldiers stayed where they were.

In the evening, each of them called for money and withdrew their troops.

"The Song Army didn't send out cavalry." He Zhongxing said, "The scouts didn't see any cavalry, but they heard that they were digging holes."

"Dig a hole?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"Yes, there are scouts reporting that Song Jun is digging a hole."

Wang Zheng said: "That's digging a trench. Wu Jie is worried that we will send cavalry to attack his left and right flanks."

"Wu Jie really wants to fight a defensive battle." Zhe Keqiu said in a deep voice, "It seems that we can't wait any longer. If Wu Jie digs a few big trenches around, it will be difficult for our cavalry to play a role."

Early the next morning, while Wu Jie was still sleeping, Wei Xiang's loud voice came from outside the tent.

"Shuai Wu!"

Wu Jie sat up suddenly: "What happened?"

"Shuai Wu! The enemy army is here! This time the mighty army is here!" Wei Xiang yelled loudly outside the tent.

"Come here as soon as you come, are you so loud because you are worried that I will live too long?" Wu Jie rubbed his head.

Why is it that the general army sent by the imperial court is bluffing one by one.

Not long after, Wu Jie was eating breakfast while listening to the scouts' report.

He stood up and grabbed a few steamed buns, then walked out of the tent without even drinking the broth.

When he came to the high platform, Wu Jie gnawed on the steamed buns while seeing the mighty army coming towards him.

The horns of the Song army barracks also sounded from the sky, the soldiers began to gather, and the officers began to organize the team.

"Report! General, the main force is already outside the city and is approaching the Song army." In Baode City, Zhewen also received the news.

"That's great!" Zhewu said happily, "Brother, please give me 8000 troops to go out of the city and attack the Song army with my father!"

"Okay!" Zhewen also felt that it was time, "This time we can only win and not lose!"
