This Song Jiang looks like he is in his 50s. He has a short figure, dark skin, solid and strong, with a gray beard, and looks very loyal.

Unlike the surrendered faction Song Jiang who was determined to attract revenge after going to Liangshan after going to Liangshan, this "real Song Jiang" was not so addicted to the high-ranking official. The Song Dynasty court recruited him twice before he pulled him into the system. Moreover, after his failure to transform into a pirate, although both the "Bo thief" and "pirates" in Liangshanbo were water thieves, but the dangers in the sea were not comparable to Liangshanbo? The maritime merchants were also better than the Gangshang who passed by Liangshanbo!

Moreover, Song Jiang also met Zhang Shuye, a military general who pretended to be a civil servant, and was beaten up by him. His brothers below were missing half of them and had to surrender.

However, after Song Jiang was granted peace, he was not framed by treacherous officials like Grandmaster Cai and Grandmaster Gao, nor was he treated as cannon fodder by Ping Fang La's Western Army to make these thieves just small fish and shrimp in the eyes of the treacherous officials, so it was not that important.

In the eyes of the Western military generals, Fang La was just a fish-basket. He arrived at the front line in Hangzhou in February of the third year of Xuanhe, and captured Fang La's family in April. It was so easy to fight, so why do you need cannon fodder?

Although Song Jiang and others also participated in the Battle of Square La, they were responsible for the water projects that the Western Army could not play with. They did not fight any bad battles. They also snatched a lot of wealth from the Western Army and all of them were left home.

After getting rich, most of these people retreated bravely and returned to Liangshanpo to become a local tyrant.

Unexpectedly, after being a local snake for a few years, a golden thief was coming to steal Liangshan! This is really something that uncle can tolerate, and aunt can’t tolerate it either!

Now Song Jiang is leading the way, a group of great officials and charitable people are clamoring, and even Sister Ximen, who was still glamoring Zhao Kai just now, was shouting and beating and killing.

Zhao Kai coughed, and the lobby gradually became quiet again. The official who claimed to be "the commander of the palace Zhao Bupo" smiled and looked confident. He smiled and said with a smile: "There is a high dike outside Yuncheng, with a back against the Dabo. You can defend yourself when you advance and retreat. How can you resist me? Since you are willing to kill thieves for the country, let's fight this battle together, so that the Jin thieves know how powerful I am in the Song Dynasty. If you can make contributions, I will definitely report to the emperor and ask for me to be awarded the title of official for you!"

The good officials of Liangshan all saw that this "Dian Zheng Zhao Bupo" was not an ordinary person. The people in the Ximen family's mansion today also had the custodians and magistrates in Jeju, Dongping Prefecture, Puzhou, Guangji Army, Yanzhou and other places. They were all dignified civil officials! Not to mention a "Dian Zheng", even if Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao came in person, they could still behave like civil officials.

But what about now?

Everyone is an official with their tails in their hands. Could it be that Zhao Bupo is the prince of the Song Dynasty?

Thinking of this, all the good officials in Liangshan stood up, saluted Zhao Kai with his hands crossed, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow the Grand Marshal to kill the thief and make contributions! But if you have the order, no one dares not to obey!"

Out of Zhao Kai's expectations, the situation of the Battle of Yuncheng took a sharp turn at the beginning!

Just as Zhao Kai was preparing to replicate the victory of the Three Mountains Floating Bridge based on the favorable terrain of Yuncheng, he suddenly found that the gold thieves came more than expected, about 100,000 more than expected!

The scouts had previously found that the enemy situation was 20,000 to 30,000, but in the early morning of the 18th of the first lunar month, there were countless Jin thieves outside the Zhanggong Dike in Yuncheng, at least 120,000 to 130,000. This is too much! There are many more than Zhao Kai's camps, soldiers from various states and soldiers from various states, civil warriors from Yuncheng, and heroes from Liangshanbo.

Considering the powerful combat effectiveness of the Jin thieves, even if Zhao Kai's army can rely on the favorable terrain of Yuncheng to fight defensive wars, it is impossible to defeat so many Jin thieves.

So in this battle, Zhao Kai should be the one who is Gao Qiu, Gao Taiwei and the palace commander Zhao Bupo will be defeated.

Standing at the highest point of Yuncheng County, Zhao Kai lowered his head and looked at the enemy that "Gao Taiwei and Zhao Bupo" could not defeat, with a pale face.

Two Jin soldiers who were erecting flags three or five miles away were stabbed with the Jurchen characters created. Zhao Kai's servant Guo Tiannu recognized this kind of text and had already identified it. So Zhao Kai now knows that the owners of these two flags were the two commanders of the Jin thieves' Eastern Route Army, the Nanjing Road Commander Wanyan Jiemu and the "second prince" Wanyan Olibu.

And along with these two flag-recognizing flags, there are 120,000 Jin thieves soldiers camped in the west of Yuncheng and the north of the city, as well as the other five Jin thieves' ten thousand households.

"Master, I have already identified it clearly. In addition to Jiemu and Olibu, the ten thousand households of the Jin thieves who appear outside Yuncheng City are also Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Talan, Yelu Mawu, Han Chang, and Liu Yanzong." Guo Tiannu had already walked around the Zhanggong embankment outside Yuncheng City at this time, and clearly saw the ten thousand households of the Jin thieves' position outside the embankment. Now he returned to the top of the city and reported to Zhao Kai.

"How many ten thousand households are there in the Jin Thief East Route Army?" Zhao Kai asked, "How many have arrived in Yuncheng?"

"Eight," Guo Tiannu replied, "They are Wanyan Jiemu, Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Talan, Yelu Mawu, Han Chang, Liu Yanzong and Guo Yaoshi. However, the Jin thieves were not full. For example, the ten thousand households of the Changsheng Army were actually only 8,000 households, and Han Chang's Liaodong Han's Wanhu and Liu Yanzong's Wancheng's Han'er Army were not full. Yelu Mawu's Khitan households were only more than 5,000 households, and the real number of the four Jurchens was also between 6,700 and 7,000. However, the eight ten thousand households of the 10,000 households were not enough, so the number of the Jin thieves' Eastern Army was only more than 50,000. Now, the number of soldiers from the Changsheng Army was deducted and the soldiers left behind in Qingfeng, Guancheng, Chaocheng, Nanle, Neihuang and other places should be 40,000 heads of the dynasty to Yuncheng. With the Alixi auxiliary soldiers, the total number should be about 120,000."

When Zhao Kai heard the number reported by Guo Tiannu, he couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that the population of Han people was dozens of times higher than that of the Jurchens, so the number of Song soldiers should be much larger than that of Jin soldiers. The reason why there was Jingkang in history was mainly because Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan was too cowardly, and civil officials loved money, and military generals were afraid of death. I never thought that the number of Song soldiers was actually less than that of Jin soldiers!

There may be many on the books, including those "rebels" that cost hundreds of thousands of thousands, which is even more numerous, but in fact, the number of Song troops that can be used is not as useful as Jin soldiers.

At least in the eighth year of Xuanhe, the real number of imperial guards that the Song army could fight was definitely less than the Jin soldiers and Ali Xi and various servants.

In addition, the Song army implemented a recruitment system, so a soldier may be half a person (with vacancy, occupation, old and weak). The Jin Dynasty implemented a military household system in which the whole nation was soldier. A soldier was actually a family. Of course, it was impossible for this military household to have only one person, and it was too miserable for one person household. Usually, there were always a few males under a military household to mobilize.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty, which was competing for the number of people, mobilizing, and relying on recruiting soldiers to fight, was not as good as the Jin Dynasty, which relied on national and military households to fight, which relied on military households to fight.

Moreover, the number of Jin soldiers is already very mobile!

The Jurchens originally raised a large number of horses, and the quality of the Jurchen horses was still above the Khitan horses. In the process of destroying the Liao Kingdom, the Jin people also seized the Liao Kingdom's military horse farm and seized hundreds of thousands of military horses. In addition, the Jurchen military households participating in the war also plundered a large number of horses.

Therefore, the invading Jurchen Eastern Route Army now has stronger mobility and can quickly assemble and dispatch the army.

Therefore, on the local battlefield of Yuncheng, Zhao Kai's military strength was even worse.

"How many of us have?"

Zhao Kai’s problem is that Zhao Kai, who was the commander of the Liangshan Camp, now divided the personal camp into four camps, including Kaifeng Daying, Sanshan Camp, Guangwu Mountain Camp, Liangshan Camp. Among them, Kaifeng Daying was chaired by Li Gang, Yuwen Cuizhong and Zhang Shuye. The commander of the Sanshan Camp and the commander of the Sanshan Camp, He Guan, was chaired by the Guangwu Mountain Camp, was chaired by Yuwen Xuzhong and the two camps that had just arrived. Zhao Kai wanted to hand over the Liangshan Camp to Han Shizhong and He Li to preside over it.

"Report to Your Majesty," Han Shizhong, who was standing on the top of the city with Zhao Kai, crossed his hands and replied, "At present, there are more than 15,000 Ma Bu Zheng Army under the jurisdiction of Liangshan Camp. The local Minzhuang in Yuncheng has completed the points, with a total of more than 5,000 people.

In addition, Song Jiang, Chao Gai and other officials in the village also said that one could mobilize 150 large boats from Liangshan Pond. If necessary, he could take His Majesty to Liangshan to temporarily avoid it."

Liangshan is located north of Liangshanpo, close to Shouzhang County, Dongping Prefecture. It is actually an island with eight peaks and seven branches, with a radius of about ten miles. It can indeed be operated as an anti-Jin stronghold.

But it takes time to manage Liangshan!

Liangshan is now just a thief nest, with no infrastructure at all, and there is no grain and grass reserve that tens of thousands of troops can support for a long time.

Moreover, the local snake in Liangshanpo is not Zhao Kai and Han Shizhong, but Song Jiang, Chao Gai, and Sister Ximen who want to leave, and their families will leave first. Only when their families go to Liangshan and are in Han Shizhong's hands can Han Shizhong stand firm on Liangshan!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai waved his hand and said, "If I don't leave, let the people go first. I will stay and fight the Jin thieves fiercely!"

"There is actually an embankment. Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao really knows how to choose a place!"

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also climbed to a high place on the Jin army, and Wanyan Zongbi and Yelu Mawu were accompanying to observe the terrain of Yuncheng.

Yelu Ma Wu smiled and said, "Second Prince, this embankment is the key to the gains and losses of Yuncheng. As long as you take down the embankment, Yuncheng will be a turtle in the jar. If you want to escape by water, you can't do it!"

Wanyan Zongbing also said: "Second brother, we can also take down the four counties of Shouzhang, Xucheng, Zhongdu and Juye around Liangshanpo, and then seize Hecai Town by Wuzhang River. In this way, Gao Qiu would not be able to escape back to Kaifeng Prefecture. If Zhao Kai was reluctant to leave Gao Qiu, he would dispatch troops from Kaifeng Prefecture and the south bank of the Yellow River to rescue him. We would just fight in the field to defeat the enemy!"
