Lin Renzhao led 30,000 troops, all of whom were elite soldiers and horses he had trained in recent years. They were not only good at water warfare, but also brave enough to fight on land. The 30,000 troops set out from the camp in Caishiji and marched all the way along Jiangxi.

When they arrived outside Wuhu City, they met the Song army head-on, and both sides were eager to give it a try.

The Song army, led by Li Jixun, led 12,000 troops, set out from Tongling and entered Wuhu. They planned to plunder a wave of food in the towns along the way to support the war, and then prepared to attack Wuhu City at any time. However, they were discovered by the scouts sent by Lin Renzhao.

, reported it to Lin Renzhao, so Lin Renzhao decided to use a tough battle to prove himself.

Therefore, Lin Renzhao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to confront the Song army in the suburbs, and engaged in a head-on battle.

The Song army also discovered the Tang army, but did not care, and even had a kind of disdain. Because they fought on land, the elites of the Song army were all brave men in the Forbidden Army, and they fought on the ground with the Northern Han and Liao all the year round.

Whether they are cavalry or infantry, they all have rich experience and strength in ground attacks. This is one of them.

In addition, these Song people were tall, brave and good at fighting, and very arrogant and confident. Since the war, the Song army fought with the Tang army on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It was found that the people of the Tang state in the south of the Yangtze River were generally shorter and smaller than the Song people. In hand-to-hand combat,

The Song army did not have an advantage in the fight, so the Song army relied on its strong physique and did not take the Tang army seriously. It felt that there was no problem with one blocking five. Even if there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it would be no problem against the Tang army's 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Fear.

A Duyuhou named Lin Quan and a Duyuhou Lifeng volunteered: "General Li, finally saw the Tang army's infantry scattered outside the city. The two of us asked for orders and led 3,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard to attack the Tang army head-on.

Let’s open the results first!”

These two Yuhous did not take the Tang army seriously at all, and planned to lead three thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard to rush forward and directly defeat the Tang army. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution.

Li Jixun did not take these Tang troops seriously, but nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you two will lead the charge with 3,000 soldiers and horses first. I will mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses on both sides to cooperate on the left and right. After you lead the troops and severely inflict heavy losses on the Tang army, our soldiers and horses on both sides can then

Outflank and attack, and annihilate all the 20,000 to 30,000 Tang troops here."

Li Jixun was very confident, because several victories in the past had made him not take the Tang Army seriously. He was very confident, with contempt, and felt that if the Tang Army did not have a navy and did not rely on defending the city, it would be completely killed on land.

share.

"Got the order!"

Lin Quan, Li Feng clasped his fists and accepted the order, quickly ordered his troops and launched a charge.

"Kill!"

The vanguard army began to charge, with 500 cavalry and 2,500 infantry, rushing forward like a torrent of iron armor.

Lin Renzhao saw this scene in his eyes, and he also arranged his troops. He sent three Du Yuhou and 5,000 troops to set up the formation. These were soldiers he had trained for many years. Although they had never fought in a big battle, they usually

There has been a lot of training, and it's time to test your combat prowess.

"Boom!"

Soon, the soldiers and horses of both sides collided with each other. The 3,000 Song army vanguards and the 5,000 Tang soldiers arrayed in direct collision!

Bang bang bang!

War horses collided, soldiers and armor collided, and soldiers from both sides were fighting at this moment. It was like a Shura field, and the fight was fierce.

The Song army did not go as smoothly as expected. Although the Tang army had a numerical advantage, its individual soldier ability was indeed weaker than the Song army. Fortunately, the Tang army had more people than the opponent. In this way, more than 10,000 Song army soldiers and horses fought with Lin Renzhao.

Twenty thousand troops were thrown in, and a melee broke out.

The two sides fought for more than an hour. Even though Li Jixun invested troops and horses on both sides to attack diagonally, Lin Renzhao arranged his troops in a phalanx with 5,000 people on each side to hold back the Song army.

As a result, the more than 10,000 Song troops and the 20,000 Tang troops fought anxiously. Neither side took advantage. However, at this time, Lin Renzhao still had 10,000 main troops ready to beat the drums and continue to charge. Li Jixun saw that almost all of his troops

When he was escorted, his troops were obviously weaker than the opponent's, so he gave the order to withdraw, and Jin Luo withdrew his troops.

This time was a small setback for the Song Army. Due to insufficient troops, the Song Army's 12,000 soldiers and horses were forced to retreat, with 2,000 casualties. Only less than 10,000 people retreated to Tongling City. After Lin Renzhao withdrew his troops, he led his troops into

Wuhu City temporarily guarded Wuhu to prevent the Song army from advancing further eastward.

.........

Jinling City, the residence of Chen Jue, the envoy to the Privy Council.

Wei Cen, Feng Yanlu, You Jianyan, Zha Yuanfang and others came to Chen Jue's house to discuss that Lin Renzhao and Su Chen showed signs of defecting to the Song Dynasty. They were discussing a plan on how to change the army commander.

Wei Cen said: "This is a good opportunity. If we seize it, we can completely suppress Lin Renzhao and Su Chen, that is, suppress Sun Dang and the New Party, replace our people, and go to the two fronts to serve as coaches. This will

It’s a good thing.”

Feng Yanlu said: "Su Chen's existence poses a great threat to us. He is Han Xizai's disciple. Every move he makes will affect Sun Dang's status in the court. If this person is not suppressed, Sun

The party wants to completely suppress us, gradually marginalize us, and lower the officialdom

Officials will alienate us one after another, which is not a good sign. Now that Su Chen is on the opposite side of us and has begun to pose a major threat to our camp, we should magnify the affair between this person and Song Dynasty, especially to make our officials hate him.

Don't reuse him again, that's what we want to see."

Wei Cen interjected: "Yes, if Su Chen has correspondence with the Song Dynasty, he can make a big fuss. King Deng has our people around him. As long as we continue to make trouble for King Deng, we may be able to cause some trouble and trouble for Su Chen.

If it's troublesome, we will act accordingly."

Chen Jue frowned. He was now a little worried about the war on the two fronts. He said: "Now that the country is facing a national crisis, I am only worried that apart from Su Chen and Lin Renzhao, there are no suitable generals who can do the job and really block the Song army. If both fronts are defeated,

, even if we had overwhelming power in the court for a while, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and our struggle for power lost its meaning."

Wei Cen smiled lightly and said: "I have a candidate who can replace one of Lin Renzhao or Su Chen. You must understand that even if we jointly submit the proposal, it is impossible to win both generals at the same time, but as long as we win one, it will be possible."

benefit."

"I wonder, Mr. Wei, who would you recommend?"

Wei Cen explained: "This candidate is Huangfu Jixun, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwei Army. His father Huangfuhui was the military governor of Fenghua Army. He joined Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, guarded Jiangzhou, and led troops to fight.

After the Zhou Dynasty, Huangfu Jixun was considered a very prestigious general in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also considered the queen of the generals. He usually claims to know the art of war, but he can give it a try. This person has been attracted by us for a long time, but he is one of ours."

Chen Jue nodded and said: "Huangfu Jixun, since he is the queen of the generals, he is also the commander of the Jinling Divine Guards and is responsible for the defense of Jinling. He should be trusted by the officials. He can look for opportunities to push him up to replace Lin Renzhao or Su Chen and cooperate with him."

King Deng and King Zheng defend the city!"

Feng Yanlu said at this time: "I am thinking that if one of the two fronts retreats, then Jinling City will become dangerous. We can encourage the officials to temporarily evacuate Jinling and go to Hongzhou! We can allow Han Xizai and others to continue to stay in Jinling to defend.

, when we arrive at Hongzhou, our arrangement there will make the officials more dependent on me and others. It would be better if the city of Jinling is destroyed and Han Xizai and others are arrested, and we will be the only dominant party in the court."

Wei Cen praised: "This strategy is good and can be used. If Jinling cannot be saved, we can follow the example of the late emperor and move the capital to Hongzhou to preserve our strength."
