Chen Qing was immediately in awe. It turned out that Yang Yuanqing was a descendant of the Yang family general!
"Yang Zheng is the great-grandson of Wen Guang, the third generation ancestor. He has always been the direct descendant of the Yang family. I am not. My ancestor is Yanbin, the youngest son of the old prince. Now Yang Zheng has been promoted to commander, and I am still the head of the general.
I can't do well without him."
Yang Yuanqing's deputy general was appointed by Chen Qing. His official military position was only a general, serving as the chief under Zhang Zhongyan.
Chen Qing smiled and said: "Your credit is enough. After this battle is over, I will definitely recommend you to the commander-in-chief as the deputy commander!"
Yang Yuanqing was moved and nodded silently.
The two got on their horses and galloped towards Nancheng.
As soon as we arrived in Nancheng, we met Zheng Ping rushing in with Yang Zhengxing.
When Zheng Ping saw Chen Qing, he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I'm humble enough to see you as the commander?"
"How are things going over there in the valley?"
"It's terrible. The opponent has a large number of people and holds huge shields. Their crossbows are ineffective. Nearly two hundred of them rushed out of the valley. Our numbers are too small and we are no match. We are about to be wiped out. Fortunately, General Yang arrived with his army.
Saved the war situation at a critical moment."
Although Yang Zheng was the commander and one level higher than Chen Qing, the commander-in-chief Wu Jie repeatedly told him that he was only going to assist in the defense of Jianzhi Pass. The commander-in-chief was still Chen Qing and he should not usurp the title.
Yang Zheng stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, "I'm Yang Zheng, salute the commander!"
"General Yang, you're welcome. Are you reinforcements sent by Wu Dutong?"
Yang Zheng sighed, "I'm ashamed. We are indeed reinforcements. I originally led two thousand troops to support Jianxiao Pass, but in Wujia Town, I encountered 500 Jurchen cavalry who also came to Jianxiao Pass. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the other side suffered casualties.
Halfway through, the Jurchen cavalry withdrew south, and there were only about 500 of us left, which disappointed the commander."
"Five hundred people is pretty good, enough to sustain us."
Chen Qing asked Zheng Ping again, "Who is guarding over the valley?"
"Xiao Yi led fifty brothers to guard the canyon. We used five boulders weighing several thousand kilograms to block the canyon. Unless they smash the boulders, they will definitely not be able to get through."
"I want to tell Xiao B not to be careless. He can climb over big rocks just like using a ladder."
"Commander, don't worry. I told him repeatedly that he can't get over even with a ladder."
At this time, Yang Zheng stepped forward and smiled at Yang Yuanqing: "Lao Wu, I haven't seen you for many years!"
Yang Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, "I was still young back then, so I was really a little impulsive. I shouldn't have done anything."
Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are all brothers, why do we care about such trivial matters? I was very worried about your life and death in the battle of Fuping, and I was also afraid that you would surrender to the Jin soldiers. Later I heard that you were following General Chen.
I finally feel relieved."
"Brother, you are worrying too much. Our Yang family would rather die in battle than surrender!"
.........
In the Jinbing camp, Wanyan Wulu did not blame Han Chang. He was also on the battlefield and could see clearly that Han Chang had no problem sending troops to respond. The soldiers also worked hard to attack the city and it was true that they suffered heavy casualties.
Under such circumstances, accusing Han Chang of ineffective attack would probably chill the hearts of the Han soldiers, and Wanyan Wulu was worried that they would no longer be willing to sacrifice their lives.
Wanyan Wulu thought for a moment and said to Han Chang: "We have burned and attacked, but we still cannot capture Guancheng. This is not the way to go. We will probably delay the fourth prince's important event. I have thought about it again and again, is it possible?
Adopt a strategy that attacks the heart?"
Han Chang's lips moved but he stopped talking.
Wanyan Wulu raised his eyes and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you have any ideas, just say it. Don't act like the people from the Southern Dynasties who dare not say anything and keep it in their hearts!"
"What I want to say is that we have taken 800 steps after taking 1,000 steps. The last two hundred steps should be to strengthen the offensive and use superior force to overwhelm the enemy. I infer that the opponent's strength is not much."
"Your idea is good, but the intelligence is still a little lacking. Don't you know that the Song Army's reinforcements have arrived?"
"What?"
Han Chang was shocked, "When did it happen?"
"Just this afternoon, the army going to the valley to the south encountered a blockade by the Song army. It had successfully rushed out of the valley, but a Song army suddenly came from the south, causing the brothers to fail. This sudden army should be reinforcements.
"
Han Chang's heart sank into the abyss, and he asked unwillingly: "How many reinforcements are there in the other side?"
"It shouldn't be much. Jianxiao Pass doesn't have that big of a capacity. One or two thousand people can come and it will be overwhelming."
Han Chang bit his lips and said, "How about we also ask Fengxiang for help and ask them to send troops to attack Jianxiao Pass from the south?"
There was a sudden silence in the big tent, Wanyan Wulu's face darkened, and all the Jurchen generals looked at Han Chang strangely.
Han Chang realized that he had said something wrong. Various Jurchen systems were born out of the tribal system. It was the tribal system that allowed each general to have his own tribal people and army.
As a result, there are many factions in the army, Zonghan, Zongfu, and Zongbi. Wanyan Wulu, who is in charge of Longyou, is the Zongfu faction, and Wanyan Meili, who is in Fengxiang Prefecture, is the Zongbi faction. These two factions usually
They didn't agree with each other, and it was only the highly prestigious Wanyan Loushi who managed to bring them together during the Fuping War.
He actually asked Wanyan Wulu to ask Wanyan Wuli for help, which was like being kicked in the head by a donkey.
Han Chang quickly changed the topic, "The commander-in-chief wants to use mind-attack tactics. Does he plan to use the surrender letter we prepared before?"
Wanyan Wulu nodded, "One tube is enough!"
They previously printed 30,000 copies of the "Letter to the Song Army Officers" and promised to call them to surrender with a generous profit. They originally planned to use it at Dashan Pass, but now they are going to use it at Jianxiao Pass. One tube contains 3,000 copies, which is indeed enough.
.
...........
The night was already very late, and several major generals at Jianjun Pass were still discussing various countermeasures. Although Yang Zheng was the commander, he did not replace Chen Qing's position as the general. He was more of an advisor.
Come join the discussion.
"If the Jin soldiers were forced into a hurry, they would indeed use the chariot. It was indeed a powerful weapon for attacking the city. I heard that Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom was captured by the Jurchens' chariots."
The Jin Bing's chariot is the chariot of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is actually a moving staircase, surrounded by wooden boards and cowhide. After leaning against the city wall, the soldiers inside will continue to swarm to the top of the city through the overpass. It is indeed a piece of work.
A great siege weapon.
"Is there any way to deal with the truck?" Chen Qing asked.
Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "I have never encountered such a car, but I heard Wu Dutong said that the best way to deal with such a car is to use fire."
Chen Qing nodded. The hero had the same idea. He also thought of fire, but in addition to fire, he also thought of bed crossbow.
"How is the battle situation in Monk Yuan?" Yang Yuanqing, who had been silent, asked.
Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Without the Jin soldiers from the West Route attacking from behind, the pressure on Monk Yuan has been greatly reduced. The enemy's attacks have been defeated repeatedly. This time we are well prepared. Wu Dutong and Wang Du are in charge.
Properly, the key is that the Jin soldiers on the west route are blocked, otherwise with our current strength, it is still unclear who will win."
"Is the key still the function of Jianjun Pass?"
"Exactly!"
Yang Zheng solemnly said: "The longer it can be delayed, the better it will be for Monk Yuan's war. The burden on the commander's shoulders this time is not as heavy as usual!"
At this moment, there was an explosion in the air outside.
Everyone was startled and walked out of the room one after another. They saw pieces of paper falling from the sky like snowflakes, thousands of them.
Chen Qing reached out and grabbed a piece of paper and looked at it carefully under the lamp. It turned out to be a surrender letter.
'A letter to the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Song Dynasty: The general situation in Guanlong is over, and it will definitely belong to the land of the Jin State. If the Song army in Guanlong surrenders to the Jin State, they will be rewarded with 500 acres of land in their hometown, tax exemption for ten years, and give Anjia hundreds of coins.
No fraud!'
“The conditions are quite exciting.”
Chen Qing smiled and handed the surrender letter to the Yang brothers, "I just can't figure out what will happen to their puppet soldiers if they give our soldiers huge profits? The puppet soldiers who died in the battle didn't see them paying attention. It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
ah!"
Yang Zheng read the surrender letter and asked: "How does the commander plan to respond?"
Before Chen Qing could say anything, a soldier came over and said, "A Han official came from outside the city and said that Tao Shuang, Sima of Pingliang Prefecture, was here to deliver a message to the commander!"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "I was worried about not having Jiang Gan, so the Jinren sent one!"
