After Yang Zaixing conquered Baidaoguan Village, he immediately launched an attack on Niupiguan north of Baideng Mountain. Obviously he was not satisfied with his speed. If he continued like this, it would take years and months to surround Yunzhou!

I have to say that this Yunzhou is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain is too twisted. In fact, compared to Liu Qi in the southwest, Yang Zaixing had an easier time. The Zuoyun County Liu Qi attacked is located on the Loess Plateau, with ravines and ravines in it.

, is also a typical loess hilly area. Wanyan Zonghan deployed infantry in the north of Yunzhou. After all, it was all mountainous and the Yinshan Mountains remained, so it was difficult for cavalry to be effective, so he concentrated the cavalry in Zuoyun County.

Because it is a loess hilly area with many slopes, and the slopes are between thirty and ten, this is simply a natural preparation for cavalry. The Jin Army cavalry used these slopes to continuously charge against Liu Qi's troops.

After the fight, they dodged and continued to charge from the next slope. Moreover, they stood on the slope and had a full view of the formation of Liu Qi's troops. In addition, Wanyan Zonghan, the general guarding here, recruited people from the local area to join the army.

Camps and fortresses were built in ravines and other terrains that were conducive to defense to block the Song army. It was necessary to slow down the Song army's advance. Although Liu Qi had been advancing, it was very slow. It was really over the mountains and ridges.

Fortunately, Zhongshi knew that the terrain of Zuoyun County was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he ordered Zhong Qi to lead 3,000 cavalry troops to Shuozhou to support Liu Qi and attack Zuoyun County from the northeast and southeast. In this way, Jin

The army suddenly fell into a two-front battle, giving Liu Qi a moment of respite.

But the abnormal terrain still made Liu Qi stand on the Loess Plateau and curse in the sky.

Yunzhou and Taiyuan are from the same motherland. The terrain is too conducive to defense. Any place that is not a pass must be a key pass. Take Youyu County to the west of Zuoyun. The nickname of this place is scary to death.

Ah, the "throat place", listen, can this be an easy place to attack? Because Yunzhou is where the Great Wall is located, can the place where the Great Wall is located be a flat area?

When Wanyan Zonghan attacked Taiyuan, he suffered a lot and suffered heavy casualties. Now it's better. It's the Song army's turn. But no matter how difficult it is to conquer, you have to attack it, because if you want to capture the Great Wall, you have to conquer the area near Yunzhou.

Not allowed by state or county.

Zhong Shizhong knew that the road was difficult to pass, and that Youyu County behind was surrounded by mountains and was even more difficult to capture, so he ordered the navy to carry 7,000 elite troops from the Cangtou River to prepare for a joint attack by land and water, so as to capture the Great Wall as soon as possible.

Now for the Song Army, life in Yunzhou is a little easier, but Yunzhou is too quiet. After Li Qi used the heartless cannon to suppress the opponent's defense line into a corner, the next step is to fill the river.

, Jin Jun did not dare to step forward to interfere. The devastating bombardment had already left a shadow in Jin Jun's heart.

Although the river is forty or fifty meters wide and two feet deep, tens of thousands of people worked day and night to dig and fill the river, and it soon began to take shape.

People in Yunzhou City are in panic. Once the Song army is overwhelmed under the city wall, there will be no chance of success!

But Zongze was not living an easy and comfortable life these days. He was very worried about saving them. He was always restless before the news from the north arrived.

On this day, when Zongze, Zhao Kai, and Li Qi were discussing how to break the city, a young general came in, cupped his fists and said: "To report to the emperor, General Zhe suddenly encountered an enemy at Zhaojiapu on his way to attack Yungang.

The enemy is stubbornly blocking the attack, and I hope the Generalissimo can send troops to support us."

Zheyanye's task was to capture some key passes in the west of Yunzhou. It was easier for him to attack here, so Zongze did not send many people there because he expected that the Jin army would not divide its troops and station them in these places.

Zongze was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to the map to look at it, and suddenly asked: "How many enemy troops are there in Zhaojiapu?"

"According to General Zhe's letter, there are at least two thousand enemy troops stationed there."

"Two thousand people?"

Zongze was shocked.

Li Qi asked curiously: "Prefect Zong, is there something wrong?"

Zongze frowned and said: "Although Yungang is a strategic location, it is not as important as Baishan Mountain, because this is a Buddhist holy place in the Liao Kingdom. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhist statues and grottoes have been built here, and the roads here are

The building is very spacious and is by no means easy to defend and difficult to attack.”

Li Qidao: "Wanyan Zonghan doesn't look like a devout believer either."

"This is only the second thing."

Zongze waved his hand and said: "If the Jin Army guards Yungang, then I can understand it. After all, this is a transportation artery, but this Zhaojiapu is neither a strategic location nor a key artery. There is no danger around, but

It is very close to Yunzhou, so instead of sending troops to guard here, it is better to guard Yungang."

"But since the Jin Army sent heavy troops to guard this place, there must be a reason."

Li Qi then asked the young general: "What kind of place is this Zhaojia Fort? What kind of people live in it?"

The young general replied: "It is said that Zhaojiabao is just a fishing village. The names of the villages in it all depend on fishing for a living. It is just because the terrain is relatively high and it is the convergence point of Shili River and Zihe River, and Shili River and Zihe River are

They all lead to Yunzhou, so this dike was built here."

"Shili River, Zihe, Dam?"

Zongze was suddenly startled and looked at Zhaojiabao on the map.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "No, this moat is the diversion of the Zihe River and the Shili River. The Jin Army must have raised the dam during the days of heavy rain. Wanyan Zonghan knew that we would definitely fill in the river, so

Gather the water, and once we have filled half of the river, waterproof it as soon as possible, so that all our previous efforts will be in vain."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kai's face turned pale with fright.

Zongze immediately said: "Quickly mobilize five thousand people to support Zheyanye. We must capture Zhaojiabao today."

Inside Yunzhou City.

When Gao Qingyi arrived at the government office, his face was full of spring breeze.

Wan Yanchang glanced at Gao Qingyi and said, "Sir, is there any good news?"

Gao Qingyi said: "The news just came from Zhaojiabao that the Song army has begun to attack Zhaojiabao."

"What?"

Wan Yanchang stood up suddenly and said: "We can't let them attack Zhaojia Fort."

Gao Qingyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, general. Even if the Song army increases its troops to attack, it will be too late. I am here to invite the general to watch the show at the top of the city."

Wan Yanchang let out a soft cheer and said, "I was almost scared to death by you. Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly. I really want to see what the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty looks like later."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something bad has happened, the golden man's dam has burst."

Just over an hour after the reinforcements were sent out, one person stumbled to the Chinese army's tent.

After hearing this, Zong Ze, Zhao Kai and Li Qi were all shocked and hurriedly walked out of the tent and went to the river.

In less than a meal, the torrent had already arrived. Because the water came from the critical point between the plateau and the Datong Basin, it rushed downwards from high up, so it came very fast. Even the cavalry could not catch up. Why did Zhaojiabao need to be built?

The dam is just for fear of rising floods and submerging the fields near Yunzhou. Now when the Zhaojia Fort is released, the water flows downhill, and the moat is relatively shallow, only about two feet deep, so you can't see a mile on either side of the river.

When we reach the land, we can imagine the potential of the water. This is not a big flood. If there is a big flood, the Song army here will probably suffer.

Fortunately, Zongze had already ordered all the soldiers who filled the river to withdraw and remove their firearms, otherwise the losses would have been heavy.

Because the soil that filled the river had just been poured down and was not very strong. When the flood came, all the soil was immediately washed away. The efforts of these days were all in vain at this moment. Zhao Kai, Zong Ze,

Li Qi and the others could only open their eyes and stare blankly, but there was nothing they could do.

On the contrary, when the soldiers of the Jin Army on the top of the city saw all this, they burst into laughter.

Wan Yanchang felt regretful and murmured: "It would be better if they found out later. In fact, what I want to see most is that when they were transporting firearms across the river, the water suddenly rushed in and destroyed them.

If all their firearms are washed away, then we don’t need to be afraid anymore.”

Gao Qingyi said with a smile: "It would be best if this could be done, but it's not bad now. This will at least delay us for a few days, so that's about it."

Because the water potential is man-made, if Wanyan Zonghan does not strengthen the river embankment, there will be a small flood, and the water flow will exceed the river embankment, and that's it. Therefore, the water potential will come and go quickly, and it will be gone after it has washed away.

However, the Song Army had to fill it out again, which was a big psychological blow to the Song Army soldiers. Wanyan Zonghan's move was not to prevent the Song Army from crossing the river, but to delay as much time as possible.

Youdao is to work hard at one moment, then stop, and then fade away.

The morale of the Song army was very low!

Zhao Kai returned to the tent with a severe headache and kept rubbing his forehead.

Li Qi lowered his head and played with his two thumbs.

Zongze also kept sighing.

They had never expected that Wanyan Zonghan would save this move. They also did not expect that Wanyan Zonghan would use the same move to defeat the Zhe Ke Cun Water Village. This heavy rain really helped Wanyan Zonghan a lot.

"Now how to do?"

After a while, Zhao Kai finally spoke up.

Zongze said: "Reporting to the emperor, the only option for now is to continue filling the river."

"When will this be filled in?"

Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Our navy should be arriving soon. How about taking a boat to cross the river?"

Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, our giant ship cannot enter this small river at all. It is useless for small boats to come, because small boats cannot carry too many heavy firearms. The Jin army will definitely not let us cross the river calmly. They

The attack will definitely be launched when we land, and we will have to carry firearms across the river, so the losses will be greater and the time will be longer."

Zongze nodded and said: "That's right. The Jin Army has not guarded the city wall so far. It is obviously to prevent us from crossing the river by boat. Even if we forcefully cross the river, it will be very dangerous because almost all the surrounding bridges have been destroyed. Once

If there is any accident, we have no way to retreat, it is too risky."

At this moment, a sentry ran in and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Xinzhou was suddenly attacked by a large Jin army. Our army was defeated and the whole army was wiped out. General Zhe Kecun's life or death is also uncertain.

"

Blessings come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone!

The Jin army was flooded with mud, which originally demoralized the Song army. Unexpectedly, such bad news came soon after.

However, this disastrous defeat came too suddenly. A few days ago, there were successive reports of good news coming from the north. In the blink of an eye, the entire army was wiped out.

Zongze was shocked and also felt very puzzled. He was stunned for a while and then asked the visitor: "Where do the enemies come from?"
