Chapter 139 Guerrilla War

A trace of fish belly fell from the east, and the Jin army slowly gathered their troops and prepared for breakfast. The attackers at night rested and changed to another one.

At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded from the west, with some shrillness. With the sound of the horn, hundreds of Song army cavalry suddenly emerged like ghosts. Without using a golden drum, they rushed straight towards the retreating Jin army.

At this time, the Jin army, who were in full costumes, were retreating, while the rest of the Jin army were cooking, and no one could stop them for a while.

Zhang Jun held an iron mace and took the lead. He rushed to the Jin army camp, and the iron mace in his hand just waved towards the head. Like a gust of wind, he galloped among the retreating Jin army. The Jin army was unprepared and was killed in a mess.

Li Yanxian saw it on the top of the city and said to Song Yan beside him: "General Zhang outside the city is very smart. He specializes in the early morning and evening. In this way, when the Jin army is unprepared, he will kill the Jin army with bad luck!"

Song Yan said: "He has seven or eight hundred people. If he is just outside the city, I am afraid he will not last much. At this time, dozens of miles around Shanzhou were snatched by the Jin army, and there was no place to replenish food and grass. For a long-term plan, it is best to enter the city in a few days."

Li Yanxian smiled bitterly: "Is there food and grass in the city? If you really can't hold on outside the city, you can still go to Guozhou. No matter how difficult it is, there are still food and grass for hundreds of people. Why are there only 300 reinforcements coming to the city? They know that we have no food."

Song Yan nodded and said nothing more. Shanzhou has been persistent until now. If there are no reinforcements, it will be impossible to defend it. Without food and grass, no matter how many people enter the city, it will be useless. The most important thing about defending the city is never to have too many soldiers, but to have enough food.

A red sun poked its head out of the east, sprinkling thousands of rays of light. On the battlefield of bloody and storm, the soldiers were covered with golden light.

Zhang Jun was stationed in the horse and saw a large group of Jin soldiers gathering in front of the barracks not far away. He raised his iron mace in his hand and whispered: "I have enough golden dogs to kill today! You guys follow me and kill to the east of the city! Don't kill me, it's not good to be trapped here by the Jin army!"

After saying that, he should urge the horse to kill the horse to the east.

The Jin army sent troops to surround the rear, but Zhang Jun did not want to go back, so it blocked the gap.

Lou Su stood in front of the barracks, looking at the back of Zhang Jun's troops leaving. He said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how many of these Song soldiers are there?"

The Wanyan Huo girl next to her said, "It should be about 500. There should be seven or eight hundred people who left Shanzhou yesterday, and there were three hundred more horses. From this point of view, these people must have camps nearby and wait for them to come."

Lou Su nodded: "No, right. Yesterday these people stayed in Chousangdian. There were not many soldiers in Lingbao City, so they could only let them go. I originally wanted to send troops to reinforce Lingbao today, but I didn't expect them to change places. These people are extremely cunning! If you bring a thousand cavalry, you will only chase them! No matter where they go, you are not allowed to run away!"

Wanyan Huo girl sang a promise loudly.

Lou Su said: "It has been more than a month since the attack on Shanzhou. As long as you persist for a few more days, you will definitely break the city! If you don't go to Shanzhou, you will have trouble attacking the Shaanxi prefectures! This time the army comes, you must return without success! Li Yanxian in the city defends. These Song troops are harassing outside the city. How can we attack the city? You lead the troops to hold on to them, even if they cannot be wiped out for a while, you cannot let them come around Shanzhou again!"

Zhang Jun led his army away from the Jin army camp, and the horses looked back and sneered. If the Jin army was hard to fight, what could it do to deal with itself? In particular, the Jin army consisted of three parts, and the military camp was already scattered, and there were many flaws in it.

At this moment, Chai Biao said: "Look at the commander, a soldier in the Jin camp has been chased out!"

Zhang Jun looked up and saw a Jin cavalry chasing him. He shook his head and smiled and said, "The Jin army is so angry that it must have sent troops to chase us! Before leaving the new world, I had guessed that this would happen! I specially taught me a tactic called guerrilla warfare!"

Chai Biaoqi said: "I don't know what guerrilla warfare is?"

Zhang Jun touched his head: "I can't understand what guerrilla warfare is. Observation says that the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy stands and I disturbs, the enemy is tired, and I fights, and the enemy retreats and I chases. The meaning of these words is clear, and we just need to do as we do."

Chai Biao laughed and said, "The ruler is the same as when the enemy advances and retreats. Isn't it more tired than the enemy when the enemy is stationed and disturbs me? When the enemy is tired, how can we have the strength to attack? When the enemy retreats, we will be even more unsuccessful."

Zhang Jun said: "This is the knowledge of guerrilla warfare. How can we make the enemy tired and relax yourself? Observation said that this battle was fought on the territory of our Song Dynasty. As long as we truly defend our country, we will definitely get the support of the people. With the support of the people, we can avoid what you said. If we fight the land of the Jin people, guerrilla warfare will not be fought."

Chai Biao thought about it, but still shook his head. He really couldn't figure it out, but he had more things to do, so why would he still have enough energy?

Seeing that the Jin army was getting closer, Zhang Jun no longer delayed and ordered the entire army to retreat. He walked quickly and arrived near Shihao Town dozens of miles away, and met with the troops waiting here before stopping.

After getting off the horse, Zhang Jun recruited several generals to his account to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Jun said: "Along the way, we all looked clearly that all the villages were destroyed. The people were killed and captured by Jin soldiers, and the rest fled to the mountains, without any place to replenish food and grass. This place is more than 60 miles away from Shanzhou. Jin soldiers chased after him and could not replenish food and grass from the camp."

Chai Biao said: "We don't have much food and grass, so what should we do?"

Zhang Jun said: "This is our ability. It is strange that we are still starving to death when fighting on our country's land! The eastern Mianchi County has been occupied by the Jin army, and there are more than 100 Jin troops stationed. We must attract the Jin army from Mianchi County to get rid of their food and grass."

Jiang Qing said: "The meaning of rule is that we are going to attack Mianchi?"

Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head: "How foolish you are! We are trying to lead the Jin army away, why should we attack the city? If we attack Mianchi, we will not be able to attack the city for a while, and we will be blocked by the chased Jin army? We will go south and head towards Yongning and Changshui. Dong Xian is stationed there, with many soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. They are all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, can he stand by and watch?"

After hearing this, the rest of the people nodded and then understood what Zhang Jun meant. Zhai Xing's army was not enough to rescue Shanzhou, and it could not be too far away from his camp. However, there was no problem in cooperating with Wang Xiaoli's battle.

Under Zhai Xing, Dong Xian was a relatively independent force. He first moved to Ruzhou and Tangzhou. After returning to Zhai Jin, the base area was moved to the west of Henan Prefecture. Now Henan Prefecture, Mianchi and other counties north of Luoyang City were occupied by the Jin army. Dong Xian was to the west, Zhai Xing was to the south, and some chaos from Kaifeng were to the east.
