“Too tired…”

"Just want to sleep!"

"It's finally coming..."

There are only a few thoughts filled with the Jingyuan Foreign Army, Huanqing Foreign Army, Fuyan Foreign Army, Yulin Cavalry, Ruzhou Township Army, and 40,000 people from Ruzhou, Dengzhou, Tangzhou and other places.

I worked overtime all night, and I didn’t meet my eyes for ten hours, and I had to marche in the wild for a hundred miles... I couldn’t even eat the hot mouth. It was so hard.

However, the hard work of this trip was not in vain. On March 11, almost noon, the cavalry who had rushed over from the former team finally brought good news to everyone to understand the spirit of the lack of energy. Yishui has arrived, and the bridgehead city of Yique floating bridge on the east bank of Yishui is still under the control of the Tiance Central Army. Moreover, there is no sign of war between the two armies on the east bank of Yishui!

This trip to transport grain has been successfully achieved!

No matter how much credit you can make this trip, at least after you arrive in Yique City, you can have enough food and drink before sleeping?

Zhao Kai was so excited that he didn't feel any sleepiness at this time. He had already led the Yulin cavalry to the front of the team.

Looking at the Sun and Moon Flag of the Tiance Central Army flying high on the Yique Bridgehead not far away, and the Tooth Flag of Wang Yuan, the commander-in-chief general. Zhao Kai, who had been worried all night, can finally breathe a sigh of relief now... Wanyan Zonghan is just like this!

Isn’t it just to cut off the food route of the Song army? Unfortunately, I didn’t have a trick to defeat the Song army, who worked overtime and then overtime, and the Minzhuang of the Song Dynasty.

I guess he never dreamed that the people of the Song Dynasty could walk nearly 100 miles with so much food and grass within ten hours?

Don’t underestimate the journey of a hundred miles a day... Even the famous Western Army of the Song Dynasty rarely walks so fast when walking forward, let alone ordinary civilians? Moreover, these civilians are driving full of mules, horses and carts, walking on a slightly bumpy official road. I don’t know how much hardship I have suffered when I can get out of this speed, so it’s not too much to call it a miracle.

The young officers of the Yulin Cavalry beside Zhao Kai were also so excited that they were talking loudly, and their words were full of vitality.

"Our army is so fast that it must have been a big deal as expected by the gold thieves. The battlefield opportunity will be obtained by me!"

"Then you only need to dig moats and build a building on both sides of Yingyang City to block the way for the golden thieves to enter the west... and then you can safely transport grain! Run a few more times and transport one or two million stones into Luo. What else can you worry about in the battle of Zhongzhou?"

"Officials, please give the order. Just work harder and you can block the Jin thief in Dengfeng!"

Zhao Kai held the war horse, stood up on the kickstand, looked north and west, and then asked with a smile, Yue Fei, who was standing on the stirrups, who stopped the war horse and stood in the stirrups, and said, "Pengju, how about it? Should we advance all the troops to Yingyang?"

Yue Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother is joking, how could the Jin thieves be so slow? They just didn't expect that we could walk for two days in ten hours, so they didn't send troops overnight... But early this morning, the Jin thieves would still send troops.

My brother estimated that the Jin thieves would take the light cavalry as their vanguard and bypass Yingyang and go straight to Yishui. The cavalry placed by Wang Taiwei in Yingyang will not be able to stop them for too long. As early as this afternoon, the Jin thieves' vanguard will arrive in Yishui."

Yue Fei’s judgment on the battle situation is different from Zhao Kai’s... Of course, Yue Fei is accurate!

Although Zhao Kai, the official, likes to brag about himself, he is very humble in military issues and has always listened to Han Shizhong and Yue Fei.

Since Yue Fei said that the Jin thief would be here in the afternoon, Zhao Kai certainly had to continue asking questions... Otherwise, why did he bring Yue Fei with him?

"Pengju, what strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Of course Yue Fei has a plan to defeat the enemy. If not, can he call Yue Fei?

Yue Fei pondered and said, "Brother, after we joined forces with Taiwei Wang, we have about five troops... The Ruzhou Township Army is not weak, and with the Yulin Cavalry, its strength is comparable to that of the Tiance Selected Front Army.

So I think that one can set up a rost formation with one army to the east of Yishui, with the bridgehead of Yishui and Yique floating bridges.

Then, four armies lined up along the long ditch in front, and set up defenses based on the gullies to prevent the Jin thieves from circling Yique and advancing towards Ruzhou.

At the same time, Han Erge ordered his army to attack the camps of the Jin thieves in Dengfeng and Mi County. If the Jin thieves are in danger of advancing and retreating, they should be able to win."

The so-called long ditch is actually a "stream ditch", which means that a long ditch suddenly cracks on the plain, and at the bottom is a long stream originating from Jishan and rushing into Yishui - this kind of plain gully terrain is quite long east of Yishui.

The plain east of Yishui is actually an open valley between Songshan, Jishan and Funiu Mountain.

The streams that originated from these mountains have washed away the valleys over the years and have washed out many gullies. These gullies are deep and shallow, and some are broken and dangerous, so they can be used to develop defenses.

"Okay, just as Peng Ju said!" Zhao Kai completely approved Yue Fei's plan after a little thought. In fact, this plan had been proposed long ago, but it has been correcting according to changes in the battlefield situation. Now it should be the final version.

This is probably what is called "the wonderful thing about application lies in one mind"?

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the generals need to make decisions at the moment and constantly correct the plan. If the generals on the front line are puppets and commanded by the court thousands of miles away, they are simply making a fuss... If the emperor of the Song Dynasty really wants to command well, he can only fight against the thief like Zhao Kai now!

However, even if Zhao Kai is in the battle like this, once the troops are divided, they can only entrust them to the general, and the commander must be appointed!

For example, this time, the commander of the Northern Line Army was Han Shizhong and Han second brother. Zhao Kai not only issued an edict to control the Northern Line army, but also gave him the privilege of doing things at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for the Song Dynasty's unpopular Shangfang sword, Zhao Kai would have given Han Shizhong one!

Just as Zhao Kai and Yue Fei were discussing how to deploy the decisive battle next, the sound of horse hooves came from the front.

The Yulin cavalry following Zhao Kai immediately became alert and rode forward one after another, forming three horizontal formations in front of Zhao Kai.

However, the three horizontal formations were just posing, because the person who came was Wang Yuan, the right commander of the Tiance Army.

Wang Yuan's arrival confirmed Yue Fei's judgment.

Wanyan Zonghan’s army did start moving, and it was fierce!

Their vanguard had arrived at the Yingyang line and had contact with Wang Yuan's Tiance Central Cavalry General. However, Wang Yuan's cavalry strength was limited, so he could only delay the Jin thieves and could not stop them at all.

After reporting the situation on the front line, "Official family, the palace has been prepared for you in Yique City. I ask the official family to move into the city immediately and take charge of the battle!"

What is just a scene is just a matter of supervision. Wang Yuan just wants Zhao Kai to stay away from the battlefield.

Yue Fei on the side also said this, so he crossed his hands on the battlefield and asked, "Brother, please give me the power of command on the front line to me!"

Since Yue Fei wanted to command, Zhao Kai certainly had no way to refuse.

Just as Zhao Kai was about to hand over the military power to Yue Fei and took his female squads to Yique City to "take charge", Niu Gao, who led the team to follow the Yulin Cavalry, suddenly yelled: "It's on fire!"

on fire?

Zhao Kai was shocked when he heard this and immediately thought of the grain truck.

Many grain trucks are also filled with hay and silk, which are flammable, so don’t burn them inadvertently!

He subconsciously looked back and saw that the long grain convoy behind him was not burning, but a fire was burning on the horizon in the distance, and thick black smoke appeared, and the sky seemed to be reflected a little red!

"That's..." Zhao Kai had already had a premonition of something wrong.

"It's Linru Town!" Yue Fei said, "It's Zhang Xian who sets fire!"

Zhang Xian? Isn’t that the cavalry general under Yue Fei’s command? Zhao Kai was stunned and thought to himself: Why did he set fire?

Yue Fei hurriedly explained to Zhao Kai: "My brother arranged for Zhang Xian to lead a team of cavalry around Linru Town to guard the situation. He also left hundreds of bundles of hay piled up on the town. If a large group of gold thieves came over Jishan, Zhang Xian would burn the town."

The people in Linru Town were moved away by Niu Gao as early as when the Jin thieves attacked Dengfeng. Only an empty town was left, but the houses in the town were not burned.

"Pengju, what should I do now?" Zhao Kai was a little panicked, but fortunately there was Yue Fei beside him...

"Official family, hurry up and retreat to Yique City!" Wang Yuan was also a little anxious, "Linru Town is only twenty or thirty miles away from here... If there is a Jin thief team, we will be attacked from both sides!"

In fact, there were only 3,000 Jin thieves who raided Linru Town, which was the Jin soldiers led by Yin Shuke.

But the Song army did not know their background, so they just thought it was a brigade - 3,000 Jin soldiers were indeed not a small amount!

"No!" Yue Fei immediately raised his objection, "The situation is urgent now, and the government cannot withdraw to Yique, otherwise the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos!"

"Yes! I can't withdraw!" Zhao Kai still trusted Yue Fei unconditionally, "Pengju, how do you think you should fight?"

Yue Fei thought for a while, "Brother, we probably didn't have time to send the food to Yique... We must set up defenses immediately, and set up a camp between Yishui and Linru Town to guard the main road to Ruzhou!"

"How to defend?" Wang Yuan shook his head, his thick eyebrows furrowed, "Now there are enemies on both sides and back, and time is tight, so there is no time to set up a hard camp. Although there is a long ditch to support, the golden thieves can still get around as long as they take some time."

"We can build a city!" Zhao Kai suddenly interrupted at this time, "We can build a city on the spot and then fight along the city!"

"How is that possible?"

"Brother..."

Wang Yuan and Yue Fei both looked at Zhao Kai, a little confused. What is this official talking about?

Zhao Kai raised his hand and pointed to the food lane behind him: "Use those rice buns as sandbags to build the city walls! Let's do it together, even if we work for a few more hours, we have to build the city... so that Wanyan Zonghan knows that there is nothing we can't do in the world!"
