"Is the Golden Thieves going to withdraw?"

"It should be that if they are going to evacuate, they are demolishing the camps. If they don't evacuate, where will they sleep at night?"

"Look, a brigade of Jin thieves have already opened their camp!"

"Oh, this is the Guiller Horse Team protecting the large convoy. It should be transporting food and supplies, right?"

"Before the troops move, the food and grass go first, the Jin thief is really leaving!"

"Then we win?"

"It should be a victory!"

"Thank God!"

"I didn't even get enough of this, why did I leave?"

"It must be that the Jin thief saw that our Kaifeng Prefecture had a solid foundation, and knew that he could not succeed, so he retreated because of the difficulties!"

"What the Privy Councilor said is very true. Kaifeng is entirely dependent on the Privy Councilor who has good command and dispatching methods!"

"The victory of Kaifeng is entirely based on the strategy of the Privy Councilor, and his troops are as good as a god!"

"The Lord of the Privy Councilor is really Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang today!"

On September 15, the north of Kaifeng Prefecture City, on the Jingyang Gate Tower, a major official who was supposed to have been a formality, has now become a conference for Li Gang to praise him.

The reason why these ministers who climbed to the head of Kaifeng Prefecture gave up their respect and flattered Li Gang was because the ministers who climbed to the high place of Jingyangmen Tower in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture saw through the thousand-mile mirror in their hands that the Jin soldiers in the vast camp twenty miles away were setting off.

Obviously, the Jin soldiers are leaving!

Although the defense battle of Kaifeng was not satisfied, the Jin thieves did not even fill the moat outside Kaifeng Prefecture.

Moreover, except for a small area in the north and east of Kaifeng Prefecture City and west of the city, there are no traces of golden thieves in other areas outside Kaifeng Prefecture City.

Even most of the city gates and water gates in Kaifeng Prefecture City can be opened as usual every day. Merchants and various supplies can enter and exit Kaifeng Prefecture City as usual, most of the Kaifeng citizens probably did not feel the arrival of war.

But the Jin thieves are really withdrawing troops from outside Kaifeng Prefecture now!

Two or three hundred thousand gold thieves came in a fierce momentum. They stayed outside the solid Kaifeng Prefecture City for half a month. They didn't even hurt the hair of Kaifeng Prefecture, but ran away with their tails stomped.

As soon as the Jin thieves ran away, the victory and defeat of the Kaifeng Prefecture defense battle was decided, and the winner was undoubtedly the Song Dynasty!

After Zhao Kai led his troops to attack, Li Gang, who was in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture's defense, was of course the biggest contributor to this battle.

Although the battle to defend Kaifeng Prefecture was not fierce at all, the Jin thieves obviously did not do their best, but were repeatedly testing the defense of Kaifeng Prefecture City to find weaknesses that could be broken through.

And the Song army also held the king's bomb tightly and didn't throw it out.

In more than ten days, the scale of the battle between the two sides was always controlled below 3,000 people. In other words, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were cheering teams, and only a very small number of soldiers actually joined the battle.

And the result of these battles is without exception that the Song army won! This "winning rate" is 100%!

This shows that Kaifeng's city defense is flawless. The 200,000-300,000 troops of the Jin thieves could not find a chance to attack, so they had to retreat.

This is a soldier who retreats without fighting (a big battle)!

Li Gang made great contributions to "retreat without fighting". When the official family returns to Kaifeng Prefecture, why should he be promoted to his grand grandfather?

So you have to slap this flattery quickly!

Amid the crowd of praises, Li Gang himself was also a little bit elated. He didn't care whether he was a grand grandfather, but he still wanted to leave a name in history. Thinking of this, Li Gang gave a wink to several officials of the Secretariat and the National History Academy (the National History Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat) who had climbed to the Jingyang Gate Tower for the first time to supervise the battle. You must write history well!

But just as he winked at these officials who wrote history, he swept away two faces with heavy expressions. The masters of the two faces were Chen Gui, the senator of the personally crusting camp and the commander of the army in the personally crusting camp, and Han Shizhong, the commander of the army in the personally crusting camp!

These two are not small characters!

The city defense in Kaifeng Prefecture can be cultivated to this level, which is all due to Chen Gui's credit. Although this guy is not from a Jinshi, but from a Mingfa class, and is a "third-class official" in the civil service industry, he is a self-taught city building expert, and is also proficient in mechanical techniques and firearm manufacturing!

So he was responsible for more and more things in his personal camp. He not only managed to build cities, but also was responsible for building cannons, poisonous fireworks balls and hot ignition tanks. Of course, he was promoted to a rapid position. When he first came, he was just a county magistrate at the level of a Beijing official. Now he has been promoted to a court official and has also been appointed as a Zhilongtu Pavilion.

Of course, Han Shizhong is even more important. He is one of the only two "enterprise generals" among the four generals of ZTE designated by Zhao Kaiqin.

The Taiwei Gao has entered a state of "delayed death", while Zhao Bupo is Zhao Kai's "vard", neither of which is "real person". Han Shizhong and He Guan are real famous generals!

Zhao Kai also gave Han Shizhong a very high treatment, the "actual general". He has now been appointed as the governor of the Wusheng Army. The commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the commander of the army in the camp and the senator of the army in the camp and the senator, the quota is more than one person, but it is set according to needs. Han Shizhong's commander is specifically to control the army in the Kaifeng Prefecture City and nearby!

"Yuan Ze, good minister," Li Gang knew the abilities of Chen Gui and Han Shizhong, so he asked, "Do you think the Jin thief really retreated, or are you cheating him?"

Real retreat or fraudulent retreat?

When Chen Gui and Han Shizhong heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This Privy Councilor, who was in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture City Defense, had a very worrying military level in his personal expedition and camp!

"Supreme Minister," Chen Gui said, "the officials thought the Jin thieves were just moving the camp. If they wanted to retreat, they would not have demolished the wooden fences around the camp. They would have burned them to no avail?"

yes!

There is a shortage of wood around Kaifeng Mansion and there is no shortage elsewhere. Why do you pull out the wooden fence and take it away? How heavy is this thing?

Han Shizhong said: "The Jin thieves who are driving eastward are not wrong. They will move to the Wuzhang River!"

"What? Move the camp to the Wuzhang River?" Li Gang was stunned and his brows frowned immediately, "What do they want to do?"

Han Shizhong frowned and said, "They want to use a camp of 200,000 to 300,000 people to cut off the Wuzhang River, and then force the Bian River to force us to fight against it in the field between the Bian River and the Wuzhang River."

After listening to Han Shizhong's analysis, Li Gang became nervous immediately.

The Bian River is the lifeline of Kaifeng Prefecture!

The Bian River is a water transportation main road directly to the southeast, and it transports millions of stones of wealth into Kaifeng Prefecture every year!

If the water transportation of the Bian River is cut off by the Jin thieves, then the battle of Kaifeng Prefecture would not require a blow to the neck of Kaifeng Prefecture, so how can I fight?

Li Gang looked at Chen Gui again, and Chen Gui nodded, saying, "Kaifeng Prefecture has the solidity of Jin Tang, and I am not afraid of the strong attack of Jin thieves. However, the population in Kaifeng Prefecture is too large, and the military and civilians are nearly one million. The daily consumption is extremely amazing. If there is no supply of the six southeastern routes, within three months, the supply of Kaifeng Prefecture will have problems. Therefore, Wuzhanghe is the key to the gains and losses of the Kaifeng Battle!

We can see this key, so how could the Golden Thieves not know? So the battle in Kaifeng has not been won, and it has not even really started to fight!"

Li Gang frowned and felt a little depressed. He originally thought he could leave his name in history. Now, when he saw it, it turned out that who would write this history has not been decided yet!

"Are you sure?" Li Gang looked at Chen Gui and Han Shizhong with some uncertainty.

"Yes!" Chen Gui seemed confident, "If we start a war on a plain, we are indeed not sure, but if there is an extra five-meter river, we are sure!"

Han Shizhong nodded and smiled and said, "Although the Wuzhang River is not wide, it is enough to sail. No matter how brave the Jin thieves are, can they still use their Iron Pagoda to rush our warships?"

Li Gang thought about it and asked again: "The Golden Thief has a cannon!"

Chen Gui laughed loudly when he heard this: "It is because the Jin thieves have cannons that we have the chance to win this battle!"

Han Shizhong also smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Jin thief's cannon cannot beat our cannons!"

A far behind?

Li Gang looked at Chen Gui with some doubts.

Chen Gui smiled and pointed to a horse-faced pier near Jingyang Gate. "Supreme Minister, there are six cannons on that horse-faced pier. You can move to watch it and you will know that you are sure of this battle!"

On a watchtower that had not been demolished, Wanyan Wu Qimai was holding his arms and watching from a distance as the convoy escorted by a large number of crooked horse soldiers drove away from the camp and rumbled towards the southeast.

What these convoys transported was not food and grass, but the dismantled guns!

In order to attack and open the Fengfu, the Jin soldiers started to build stylus in Damingfu a few months ago. When the Jin army arrived outside the Kaifeng Prefecture, they used wood sent by Nianhan to make 200 stylus. Now the number of stylus in the Jin army has reached five or six hundred!

These cannons are the sure thing Wanyan Wuqi bought!

If the five or six hundred top guns are placed on the edge of the Wuzhang River, it will be like rain! The Song people's warships are not made of iron, so how can they withstand it? Moreover, the top guns can not only fire mud bombs and stone bombs, but also fireballs, but also burn all the Song people's warships!

As long as the Song people's warships were repelled, how could the surface of the Wuzhang River, which was only five or six feet wide, be able to stop the pace of the Great Jin Heavenly Soldiers?

As long as the 200,000 to 300,000 troops of the Jin Dynasty crossed the Wuzhang River, the Bian River would be under the blade of the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers. They would not need to cross the river. They could use cannons and bows to break the Bian River.

Without the supply of water transportation in the Bian River, how many days can the huge Kaifeng Prefecture last?
