Through the strong cowhide tent, Li Ting didn't feel how heavy the rain was. When he strode out neatly dressed, he was immediately soaked by the rain, and huge raindrops hit his face.
It hurts.
For a moment, Li Ting was a little confused, and he shouted: "Where did Wanyan Heda's troops come from?"
In the darkness, his subordinates pointed in a certain direction: "Southwest!"
Li Ting looked in that direction and saw layers of black rain curtains intersecting the city. The rain curtains swayed with the wind, making the sky even darker, blocking the faint signs of dawn and blocking his sight. Li Ting held his hand
Looking at the sky from the pergola, I could only see thick clouds and crackling lightning between the clouds.
"Damn it, you can't see anything here! Where's the ranger? Did he see it right?"
The ranger had already arrived at the Chinese army's tent. He knelt down and reported: "Commander Jie, I'm right. I didn't ride a horse. I walked closer and took a closer look. For this reason, I almost ran into the Jin army's vanguard and ate them."
arrow!"
Li Ting stared intently and saw that there was a deep wound on Youqi's shoulder. Although it was simply bandaged, blood was still seeping out, and was then washed away by the rain.
"Thank you!" Li Ting nodded and asked, "Have the enemy discovered you?"
"They probably thought it was a small animal passing by, and they fired arrows at will, but they didn't notice me!"
"Okay, let's go take a rest and record a great achievement!"
The ranger happily bowed and retreated. Li Ting patted the scout leader on the shoulder again: "Where are the others? No reward?"
"Additional manpower has been deployed to lurk cautiously and report trends at any time!"
When Li Ting nodded repeatedly, the general sighed: "In this weather, the bow and arrow will be useless after just two shots. They are really wasteful!"
Li Ting laughed: "This battle was originally a life-and-death battle. After the fight, they will have no use for bows and arrows!"
The two armies struggled for four or five days. Just as Li Ting wanted to defeat Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Heda only had a chance to defeat Li Ting.
Under Ding Haijun's plan, the troops available for deployment by the Kaifeng imperial court were stranded in various places, and were separately restrained and blocked by Ding Haijun. However, it was Guo Ning himself who led the army to Kaifeng.
Perhaps Kaifeng City could rely on the emperor's encouragement and the hard work of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to repel Guo Ning in isolation, but that was only a possibility on paper. The more battle-hardened generals, the less likely they would be.
I will pin my hopes on this.
If Kaifeng does not receive timely support, it will probably be destroyed.
Daijin will also be finished soon.
Therefore, it is meaningless to confront Li Ting here. In any case, Wanyan Heda will rush to Kaifeng.
But there is another possibility that we have to guard against, that is, Guo Ning uses strong troops to suppress Kaifeng, but is not in a hurry to attack the city. After this person captured Xuzhou and Guide Mansion, he had a continuous flow of supplies from the rear.
Channels, you can use Kaifeng City as a bait in your free time, wait for the reinforcements rushing from all over the place to arrive, and then defeat them one by one, clearing away every last bit of Jurchen force.
If Wanyan Heda directly led his troops to Kaifeng, he would have to resist Li Ting's men from behind and face Guo Ning from behind. He didn't think he had the ability to shoot from both sides and deal with ferocious dogs and tigers at the same time.
To take a step back, with the Kaifeng court barely maintaining the situation, the remaining grain supplies were first enough to satisfy the soldiers of the Thirteen Captains who went south to plunder. The Xiangzhou grain depot controlled by Wanyan Heda had already reached its bottom, and he wanted to bring
With such an army marching south for a long distance, it is very difficult to provide food and drink along the way, and there is a danger of running out of food halfway.
So Wanyan Heda's only way is to win over Li Ting.
After Li Ting is captured, food and supplies will be available, and morale will be boosted. Even those on the east side of Hedong who have their own strength and wait and see, such as Guo Wenzhen and Wuxian, will hold on longer. Wanyan Heda has already
Without any worries, thousands of elite people can be selected and rushed to Kaifeng.
Of course, there will still be a fierce battle at that time. Life or death is another matter.
Now we just need to kill Li Ting!
At this time, it rained heavily. It was clear that the Jurchens were not exhausted yet, but there was still God's help!
The rain should start falling at Zi hour and reach its maximum intensity at Yin hour.
A huge amount of rainwater pours down like the Milky Way. After falling to the ground, it directly merges into water flow, river ponds, and even roaring waterfalls. But the roar of the water flow is far less than the fierce thunder in the sky. The thunder
Lightning and lightning seemed to be jumping above everyone's heads, and could smash the ant-like humans below into powder at any time.
Since the reign of Emperor Zhangzong, the weather in Dajin has not been normal. There has been severe drought in the east and west roads of Hebei for four consecutive years, so that hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and dozens of military prefectures have starved to death. However, during the Zhenyou period,
The drought turned into a rain disaster. Heavy rain occurs almost every year, and it often breaks out on Hebei West Road with complex terrain, which in turn triggers floods and waterlogging.
The current rain can almost reach the level of a rain disaster.
In this environment, Wanyan Heda and his troops approached.
Under the heavy rain, it was impossible to light the torch. The entire army relied entirely on electric light and the guidance of the village leaders at the front, just like giant pythons connected end to end, marching hard. If you stand close and see, this army
Many of the soldiers were shirtless, holding straight knives in their mouths, and using their hands and feet to pull and climb on the muddy ground. Even so, they often took one step forward and two steps back, and one by one suddenly turned into a clay figure, and sometimes was covered by the rain.
Splashed clean and smooth.
"Thank you for your hard work! I, Wanyan Heda, thank you brothers! Five miles ahead is Li Ting's camp. If you kill one level in this battle, you will be rewarded with money and a fight of food! If you win this battle, I will take you there.
Zhongdu will receive another heavy reward! Everyone will be divided into fields, promoted and made rich! I, Wanyan Heda, will never break my promise!"
Wanyan Heda stood on the gravel foundation of an abandoned manor and shouted to the soldiers with all his strength. After marching for twenty miles in the rain, he kept running back and forth to encourage him. His voice was already hoarse, so the shout could not be heard in the heavy rain.
It's far away so people passing by can hear it.
One of the soldiers raised his eyes and looked deeply at Wanyan Heda. Wanyan Heda recognized that this soldier was signed into the army in Xiangzhou. At that time, his mother was ill and could not bear to die. It was Wanyan Heda who came forward.
He consulted a medical officer for diagnosis and treatment, and he was reassured to join the army. He also knelt down to thank Wanyan Heda for his kindness.
At this moment, the soldier didn't care what to say to Wanyan Hedata. The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if he would catch a mouthful of rainwater when he opened his mouth, so he just kept walking forward one foot deeper and one foot shallower.
Wanyan Heda didn't know how many soldiers he could inspire by shouting like this, but he could only do this.
After arriving in Kaifeng, Wanyan Heda gathered such an army in just two years. It was not violence, let alone the majesty of the Kaifeng court, but his method of loving soldiers as sons. On the other hand, Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu also did the same
The Kingdom of Jin was one of the rare wise kings in the past few decades who was diligent and caring for the people, and he gave Wanyan Heda a lot of support.
Wanyan Heda often thought that if there were no Guo Ning, and he and his colleagues had devoted themselves to assisting King Zuo Sui for ten years, they might be able to revive the Great Jin Dynasty, and even break the barriers between the Jurchens and the Haners, and truly unite the world as one family.
Unfortunately, since Guo Ning ascended the throne as Duke of Zhou in Zhongdu, his intention to replace Dajin has become more obvious. Of course, a large number of Jurchens in Zhongdu fled to Henan, which suddenly increased the power of the Kaifeng court. However, within the territory of the Kaifeng court,
Countless Han's people's hearts also fluctuated because of this.
No matter how much power Wanyan Heda exerted, he could not change the fact that the Jin Dynasty had been unpopular for too long and could not be reversed by a good emperor or a few virtuous ministers and generals. In the past tens or hundreds of years, Han'er had not
Other options. Now that they have a choice, will they still side with Daikin?
Wanyan Heda didn't know the answer to this question. He only knew that the army of the Great Jin Kingdom was full of Han people. He had exhausted all his strength to maintain this army and the inertia of these soldiers to obey their superiors.

Although Ding Haijun's troops arrived too quickly, and Guo Ning clearly did not want to give the Kaifeng court time to integrate, Wanyan Heda hoped to give it a try. At least, he could rely on his own prestige to keep making promises.
Drive the soldiers.
This kind of drive is like a powerful medicine. If it doesn't work once, the patient will suffer from serious illness and it will be difficult to recover, and the medicine itself will not last long. Fortunately, once is enough. The dark forest camp is right in front of you, Wanyan Heda
All we need is for the soldiers to have the courage to go in and kill all the enemy troops!
"Marshal, we are already within one mile! There is no movement from the enemy camp!"
"Marshal, we are approaching 300 steps! There is still no movement from the enemy camp!"
"Marshal, we have invaded the checkpoint on the south side of the enemy camp! The battle has begun! The battle has begun!"
Wanyan Heda stood upright. He looked around and saw the muddy soldiers around him being soaked by the heavy rain. The cold air made the forest's limbs turn gray and white, as if they were swarms of evil spirits. He saw the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers flashing under the electric light.
Reflect cold light.
This cold light will soon turn into bloody light!
"Fight in!" Wanyan Heda shouted wildly.
The footsteps of thousands of people suddenly accelerated, trampling the ground and roaring like thunder.
