The situation has taken a sharp turn!

It was really not easy to lead the Song Dynasty military and civilians to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Kai was about to achieve a phased victory. He temporarily returned to Kaifeng Prefecture to relax and enjoy the services of the exclusive school beauties. Then an unexpected huge crisis came. The two moods changed so quickly, without even a buffer, as if he fell directly from heaven to the eighteen levels of hell.

Up to the highest point of Dingtao City, Zhao Kai stretched his neck to look at the enemies and subordinates who had pushed him to the brink of a crisis!

It was already dawning now, and it was the afternoon of the 10th day of February 19th, Xuanhe. The two vanguards of the two armies who had been running all the way from the early morning had already run for sixty to eighty miles.

Among them, the one who ran sixty miles was Li Gang's troops who fled south from Huhe Town. They were quite organized when they first ran, wearing torches and forming formations in generals, and they were in a mighty way. However, when the Jin soldiers began to turn to the southwest and divided a group of them into a fast track, the Song army that ran away was a little panicked.

When the Jin cavalry was getting closer and closer to the running Song army, and was about to catch up, the Song army began to rush and seize the road. The formation began to scatter. It was not just a wave of cover for each other and ran away, but the front teams in the back and forth collided with each other and snatched each other. Everyone wanted to run faster!

The chaos in the team also means that Li Gang has lost control of some of the troops, and naturally he has no ability to organize effective resistance when the Jin soldiers catch up. However, even if Li Gang can still control the entire army, relying on those temporarily put together king-supporting troops, it is impossible to resist the attack of Jin thieves with similar numbers in the field.

But fortunately, Li Gang and his staff still used their minds to plan the escape. Before they ran away, they had already expected that they would not be able to escape, so they had already prepared the next move.

After discovering the urgent pursuit of the Jin soldiers and it was difficult for the army to escape, the central army where Li Gang was located began to turn slightly southwest and run towards Chengshi County, which belonged to Xingren Prefecture. The generals following the central army naturally followed him to Chengshi County.

So the running Song army was divided into two parts, about one-third of which continued to advance towards Dingtao, and its vanguard was less than 20 miles away from Dingtao.

The remaining army fled to the Chengshi County, which was not far away, under the constant pursuit of the Jin thieves' cavalry, and was surrounded by the Jin soldiers!

When Li Gang started running away, the Jin soldiers who were chasing Li Gang's troops were about twenty miles away from Huhe Town. In addition, the section they drove from Yuncheng before, so they ran more.

However, there are many Jin people and people who are more capable of running. They are all veterans who fight for a long time and are still very physically strong. So in the same time, the 20,000 cavalry led by Wanyan Jiemu not only repelled the two-phase cavalry sent by Li Gang to delay his actions, but also chased the Song army and ran for 80 miles!

After these 20,000 Jin soldiers, there were still Jin soldiers who were rushing to Chengshi County. It seemed that the Jin people had already planned to surround Li Gang's troops in Chengshi County.

I don’t know if Li Gang’s troops brought enough food? I don’t know how much food was stored in the small Chengshi County? Is it snatched by the golden thieves who “baked grass valleys” everywhere?

When Zhao Kai thought that Li Gang's army might be trapped in Chengshi County, he felt that his head was too big.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from behind Zhao Kai, and then the voice of Xin Zan of Zhiguangji Army came.

"My dear Xin Zan, the commander Yao Pingzhong, is instructed by Wang De. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to inquire about heavenly words."

Zhao Kai looked back and saw that three big men had already stood in a row behind him. Two of them had not even removed the armor, and they had not even wiped away the blood on the armor, and they had not even pulled out the arrow shafts inserted between the armor leaves.

Of course, these two armoured men were Yao Pingzhong and Wang De. After the first victory, they began to "due martial arts fortune". After being sent out by Li Gang to block the enemy again, they were surrounded and beaten by the Jin people's cavalry. After finally killing a bloody road, they were chased by the Jin thieves cavalry all the way and ran to the near Wuzhang River. Seeing the flag-recognizing the "District Commander Zhao Bupo" and the long line of warships on the water surface, the Jin thieves cavalry slipped away with their tails. Yao Pingzhong and Wang De and hundreds of cavalry below were finally rescued. They learned from the warship that Zhao Kai, the official family, had actually arrived in Dingtao City, so they took their subordinates along the Wuzhang River to Dingtao to report the situation on the front line to Zhao Kai.

The one who was sandwiched between two big men in armor was a green-robed civil servant wearing burly and majestic looks no less than two generals. The green-robed civil servant was the parents of Guangji Army, whose surname was Xin and his name was Zan. He was an old acquaintance of Zhao Kai. He and Zhao Kai were Jinshi in the same subject. He was originally an official in Kaifeng Prefecture, but in January, the original Guangji Army envoy ran away, so Zhu Fengying sent him to Guangji Army as the magistrate army.

"Xin Zan," Zhao Kai did not immediately talk to the two generals, but asked Xin Zan, "How many defeated soldiers have been accommodated now? The Jin thieves have not approached Dingtao, right?"

Xin Zan replied: "Report to Your Majesty, you have now housed about 30,000 defeated troops, and more than 20 generals are all under the jurisdiction of these generals, and the deputy generals are waiting to see you below."

Zhao Kai nodded without commenting, and then smiled at Yao Pingzhong and Wang Dedao: "Thank you for your hard work, two heroes, where do you all hold now?"

Yao Pingzhong intervened and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Yao Pingzhong, now the Wuyi Doctor, is in charge of the former army!"

Wang Deze also politely said: "Report to Your Majesty, Wang De, now Dunwulang, the cavalry general in front of the camp."

Zhao Kai thought about it and remembered who they were (from Zhao Kai's physical memory), "It turned out to be Yao Pingzhong, the young general of the Yao family, and Wang De, the tiger general of the Yao family army, would you like to follow me to kill the thief?"

"My minister Yao Pingzhong is willing to be the king's front!"

"My de, I am willing to kill the thief for Your Majesty!"

Of course, Yao Pingzhong and Wang De would not miss the opportunity to hug the world's thick legs. Compared with Zhao Kai's thighs, Li Gang's legs are almost the same as those of toothpicks!

Zhao Kai smiled and asked again: "What's the situation with Li Gang? Can you defend Chengshi?"

"this"

"His Majesty"

Yao Pingzhong and Wang De were both speechless for a moment and could not answer.

Zhao Kai said in a gentle voice: "But it's okay to say it."

Yao Pingzhong said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Li Shumi is trapped in Cheng's clan is in danger. Because Li Shumi's troops are mostly temporary pieces, lack training, and have no good equipment. They have no intention of fighting with the Jin thieves at all. They just want to bluff and lure the Jin thieves westward to get out of trouble for His Majesty. They don't want to."

Zhao Kai nodded, "Although Li Gang doesn't know how to use military force, he is still loyal and commendable!"

Wang Deze frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think Chengshi is difficult to defend and rescue. Our army has limited military strength. Apart from the 100,000 people brought out of Kaifeng Prefecture by Li Shumi, there are only less than 50,000 troops left in Kaifeng Prefecture, and most of them are rebels. They are embarrassing and can only barely defend the city!"

His words were said in a zigzag, but the meaning was still very clear. Li Gang was loyal, but now he really couldn't save him, so he had to give up.

Zhao Kai glanced at Xin Zan again, "What do Xin Qing think?"

"Your Majesty," Xin praised, "I think that if you want to defend Tokyo, you must guard the southeast grain transportation. If you want to defend the southeast grain transportation, you must set up defenses along the Wuzhang River. If the southeast grain transportation is interrupted, how can you fill the stomachs of hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo? How can you reward the soldiers who are serving the king in the world?"

His words sounded like they were off topic, but in fact they meant it was obvious that there was no force to save Li Gang now!

If it weren't for Li Gang, the available troops at the court now were between 10.15 million. It would be a burning incense to maintain the three important strongholds of Kaifeng Prefecture, Liangshanpo and Sanshan Floating Bridge, and to set up defenses along the Wuzhang River to block the Jin soldiers and prevent them from going south to destroy the more important Bian River transportation.

Why don’t Li Gang let him be a loyal and wise man?

Zhao Kai shook his head, "Li Gang will not let me down, how can I bear to let Li Gang down? Besides, in the twelfth month of last year, I dared to block 150,000 Jin thieves at Sanshan Floating Bridge with tens of thousands of people. Now there are 150,000 people. Can I still give up the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals of Li Gang's troops? I will rescue them all!"

Speaking of this, he said to the three people in front of him: "Let's go and take me to see the heroes who have just escaped from the danger of the tiger's mouth and win and lose. It's no big deal!"

"What? Uncle Eleven, what did you say? Zhao Kai, the official from the southerners, went to Liangshan together?"

"I shouldn't be wrong. I've asked many captured southern military officers, and they all said that! And they also said that there were no 800,000 imperial guards in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there were not even 100,000 imperial guards!"

"No? What's going on with the Sanshan Floating Bridge?"

"We were deceived by Gao Qiu. He had only 30,000 to 50,000 people. We kept Zhao Kai out of the city and made a bluff and deceived us!"

"This is really too cunning! By the way, how many soldiers are there in Kaifeng Prefecture City now?"

"Fifty thousand, at most, Olibu, Olibu, let's go and open the Fengfu!"

Wanyan Zongwang met Wanyan Jiemu who was chasing Li Gang all the way outside Chengshi County, and also received a lot of shocking news from him.

However, facing the suggestion of attacking and opening the Fengfu Mansion by Jamu, Wanyan Zongwang fell silent. After a while, he shook his head gently: "You can't enter like this now, Sanshan Floating Bridge and Wannian New Dike are still under the control of the Southern Army. If they say that I was digging a dam when I was in Kaifeng Mansion, the battle in Yuncheng would be staged again."

He was scared of being flooded!

Wanyan Zongwang thought for a while: "We still have to fight to the death with Gao Qiu first, defeat Gao Qiu in the field, and then seize Tokyo Bianliang."

"But Gao Qiu is still in the Dingtao area." Of course, Jamu knew that Gao Qiu's banner appeared in the Dingtao area.
Chapter completed!
