"Report to Your Majesty, there are a total of 52,300 regular soldiers from the Jin bandits on the east side, two-thirds of which are raw Jurchens and Bohai people, while the rest of the soldiers are mostly Khitans, Xi people, and Han people. In addition to the regular soldiers, there are also Ali Xi and various auxiliary soldiers of about 100,000, and the lineup is powerful!"

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate Ali Xi of the Jin thief. Although they are auxiliary soldiers, most of them can fight. The equestrian and martial arts are even above the old soldiers of our ever-winning army!"

In the middle of the army, Guo Tiannu was just persuaded to surrender Dong Jingang, and Dong Luohan, the two brothers, had already changed into the purple robes of the military officers of the Song army, stood respectfully in front of Zhao Kai, He Guan, Wang Yuan, Han Shizhong and others, and honestly explained the situation of the Jindong Road Army that they knew.

The Jin people's Eastern Route Army... is far stronger than Zhao Kai and others had imagined before!

Their number is 50,000, but after counting Alixi and the other auxiliary soldiers, the number is 150,000!

"Who are Alixi?" Zhao Kai asked, "If it can match the old soldiers of the Changsheng Army, why can't they be the regular soldier?"

Originally, the clan of Dong Xiaochou family, Dong Jingang, who looked vulgar but was quite careful in his mind, took over Zhao Kai's question and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, this Jurchen military system is different from the Song Dynasty. It is not recruiting troops, but the military system that combines soldiers and civilians, and integrates soldiers into the national clan. The Jurchens called it the Mouke Meng'an system. Generally speaking, the Jurchens and the Bohai tribes all have one regular soldier and two Alixi auxiliary soldiers in one household... Generally speaking, those who are the regular soldiers are all strong men, Alixi, or those who are the weaker Jurchen men, or those who are brave and brave to fight."

"Who are the customers of the Jurchens?" Zhao Kai asked, "They are all willing to fight for the Jurchens?"

The so-called customer does not mean the customer, but the tenant. Zhao Kai thinks that the Jurchen tenant must have been oppressed by the Jurchen landlord class very badly. He should think about rising up and causing a revolution. Why did he become accomplices for the tiger?

"Report to your Majesty," Dong Jingang continued, "there are many sources of this Jurchen customer... Some were captured prisoners of war. Some were poor people with no industry and difficulties in their livelihoods. Some were just divided into some Mouke."

"They are all willing to work hard for the Jin thieves?" Zhao Kai asked again.

Dong Jingang smiled bitterly: "It's all wandering in troubled times, just struggling to survive..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Tiannu who was also dressed in eunuch clothes.

He paused and said, "Besides, the Jurchen military law is strict, and rewards and punishments are relatively fair. If Ali Xi escapes at the battle, his family will be punished. If he dies in the battlefield, he will receive corresponding pensions. If he makes military achievements, he will be promoted and can change from Ali Xi to a regular soldier or even become an official. He will of course be divided into pieces if he gets robbery. Moreover, the Jurchens have been invincible in recent years, and have won many battles and not much casualties.

Therefore, most of the Jurchen customers Ding Zhuang was willing to act as a Alibaba Xishang and fight for the Jurchens."

Zhao Kai nodded. Dong Jingang looked rough and said everything was reasonable. Moreover, he had fought on the floating bridge before. If the witch had not come forward to persuade the surrender, the battle at the floating bridge would not have ended yet!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai smiled at Dong Jingang, and Dong Luohan said, "Vajra, Arhat, I also have clear rewards and punishments. As long as you can kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, you will definitely have a great minister in the future!

As for your family members who stayed with the Jin thief... Let's do this, I will change your surnames to you and the Tiannv, so the Jin thief will not know that you three have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!"

Dong Jingang, Dong Luohan and Guo Tiannu heard this, looked at each other, then saluted Zhao Kai together, and said in unison: "Please give us surnames!"

Zhao Kai nodded and smiled and said, "Okay! Then I will give you names to the three of you... Vajra, Arhat, and Heavenly Girl. When I see that you three are tall, I will give you surnames to Gao, and from now on, they will be called Gao Vajra, Gao Arhat, and Heavenly Girl! From now on, you three will be the adopted sons and daughters of Taiwei Gao!"

Vajra, Arhat, Heavenly Girl, and the Medicine Master Guo’s Medicine Master are all commonly known as Buddhist disciples. They are everywhere in the Liao Kingdom, and there are many in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, as the captain Gao Taiwei, it seems reasonable to take several warriors from exile in the north as their adopted sons and daughters, and let them act as minions and hawks.

"My deity Gao thanks His Majesty for giving his surname!"

"I, Gao Luohan, thanks Your Majesty!"

"I, Gao Tianniao, thanks my master for giving me a surname..."

All three people who changed their surnames were very happy to thank them! How could they be unhappy? Dong Jingang and Dong Luohan have been Gao Yanei from now on! With this status, they will be easily promoted in the future.

Guo Tiannu transformed into the little lady of the Gao family...

Zhao Kai waved his hand and asked the two Gao Yanei and a Gao lady to retreat aside, then frowned and looked at He Guan, Wang Yuan, and Han Shizhong, who had just been promoted to command, and said, "Master Guo should have arrived in Liyang by now... The Jin thief Wushu will most likely send troops tomorrow morning, and it will be to Dalishan tomorrow afternoon! What are your good strategies?"

"Your Majesty," Han Shizhong had just won the battle and was promoted. Now is the time to be the most enthusiastic, so he made the first speech, "I have a plan to defeat Wushu!"

"Tell me!" Zhao Kai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"I suggest using a grain truck to circle an arc at the head of Tiancheng Bridge, and then cover it with a large shield and long spear. The arc-shaped array has hundreds of bed crossbows, and lay out strong bows and hard crossbows and thousands of elite armored soldiers. It will definitely defeat the golden thieves!"

Han Shizhong proposed a tactic similar to the Kuyue Formation. Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, once used this formation to defeat the Northern Wei cavalry.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate..." He Guan shook his head, "Although this moon formation can temporarily defeat the attack of the Jin thieves, the Jin thieves can still break it as long as they risk some casualties. After all, our soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Northern Palace in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

Zhao Kai thought for a while and asked, "Master He, what good way do you have to defeat the enemy?"

"Your Majesty," He Guan said, "Since ancient times, the way of using military forces has always been focused on using consistency and victory with strange victory. In the past, Liu Yu could defeat the Northern Wei, destroy the Southern Yan, and swallow up the Later Qin Dynasty, relying not only on strange strategies, but also on the real elite soldiers of the Northern Palace. If Tuobasi dared to cross the Yellow River and fight for Liu Yu's life and death, there would probably be no later Northern Wei unified the north. Now we are weak now, and although we can succeed with strange strategies, it is difficult to attack after all, but we will never be able to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now we have weak soldiers and few generals.

Defeat the Jin thieves' army. A strange plan must be accompanied by strange dangers. If it fails, it will not only damage the limited elite troops, but also lose the Tiancheng Chang Bridge. The Chang Bridge is made up of more than one hundred large boats. Some of these large boats fall into the hands of the Jin thieves. The Yellow River defense line will be in vain! Therefore, the old minister suggested giving up Yishan, demolishing Changqiao, turning to guard Jushan, Baima, and Wenzi Mountain, and spreading suspicious formations on the south bank of the Yellow River, building more banners to think that suspicious soldiers."

He Guan’s method is stable, but if the Song army demolished Changqiao and withdrew the camp in Dalishan... it would be obvious that it would be timid!

"Taiwei Gao" won first and then cowards, isn't it equivalent to telling the Jin thief that he has no strength? The Jin thief is already arrogant. If he sees through the Song army's trump card, he will still scream and kill the Yellow River?

However, it is really too risky to use the moon formation on the north bank of the Yellow River to defeat the enemy... Zhao Kai thought to himself: It would be great if he could build a city at the foot of Dali Mountain! Yes, build a city!

Build a one-night city!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai suddenly laughed, "I already have a way to block the enemy... I want to build a city at the foot of Dali Mountain at the foot of Tiancheng's bridge!"

"Building a city? It's too late!" Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, that's not something that can be achieved every day... I have checked the terrain before. If I want to guard it more firmly, the city wall must be at least 2,000 steps long. With more than 20,000 soldiers, it would be great to build it in 10 days."

"It takes less than 10 days..." Zhao Kai stood up suddenly, "One night is enough! I want to build a one-night city at the foot of Dali Mountain!"

"This is impossible!" Wang Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, building a city with plywood is not a camp. The soil has to be solidified, but it is not that fast!"

Zhao Kai laughed a few times: "I am prepared!" He turned his head and said to He Guan, "Transfer my order to order all the soldiers of the army to have a full meal, then bring shovels, all the sacks, straw bags, and each person brings two torches to the Tiancheng Bridge at the foot of the mountain to gather... I want to take them to build a city for a night!"

Zhao Kai's method turned out to use sacks and straw bags to fill the city walls, and there was no need to build too high. If you have a slate of 1 meter high, it would be enough for the time being. If such a project is to build rammed earth and build the city walls to build solid, the project volume would be amazing. With 20,000 people to build the construction, it would be very fast if it could be taken down in 10 days and 8 days.

However, it is much easier to pile sacks and straw bags. 2,000 people build 2,000 steps. On average, 10 people are responsible for a city wall of one step, which is only about 1.5 meters high, which is about 3 meters high, and is about 3 meters thick. If you count it as more (you may have to pile a chest wall at the top of the city). It is also 15 cubic meters of soil... It should be done.

"Old minister receives the order!" He Guan knew what Zhao Kai was going to do, so after receiving Zhao Kai's order, he hurried out of the tent.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Yuan didn't understand "one night city", so he wanted to make a comment.

Zhao Kai waved his hand and interrupted him, "You will follow me to cross the river immediately... Tell me how the city at the head of Tiancheng Bridge should be built." He also said to Gao Jingang, Gao Luohan, and Gao Tiannu, "Vajra, Arhat, Tiannu, you follow me too!"

The army of Gao Jingang, Gao Luohan and Gao Tiannu has now been dispersed and organized into the generals led by Zhao Kai from Kaifeng Prefecture and Han Shizhong's troops (Zhao Kai gave about 5,000 elite soldiers from Liang Fangping and Wang Yuan to Han Shizhong), and all three of them became bare.

Wang Yuan had no choice but to receive the order with Gao Jingang, Gao Luohan and Gao Tiannu.
