Chapter 155 Parties
"Your Majesty, the war situation in Kaifeng has improved. King Qin's army has surrounded the Jin army. Do we want to go back?" Wang Yuan, the commander of the capital, admonished King Kang Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou has been staying in Yunzhou for a long time. His generals have been fighting in Jingdong against the Jin army's partial divisions, but they have not returned south to rescue Kaifeng.

"The war in Kaifeng is intense. The enemy and we have gathered millions of troops. Our people have been useless in the past. It is better to organize various rebel forces in Jingdong to fight against the Jin army and contain the Jin army's partial divisions." Zhao Gou recalled that he was sent to the Jin camp for peace talks. After this experience, he never wanted to deal with the Jin people head-on again in his life.

Rude, disrespectful, barbaric, ... tyrannical, this is Zhao Gou's perception of Jin people.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. The official family has been trapped in the Jin camp. Until now, the country has no new owner. Now the war in Kaifeng is beneficial to our side. You only need to show up in the past. We are responsible for the war." Wang Yuan persuaded with sincerity: "When the time comes..."

But Zhao Gou didn't appreciate it and interrupted him directly.

"Stop talking, I'll make my decision."

Since the war with the Jin people, the Song army has had the upper hand too many times, but in the end it was the Jin people who won.

He didn't think this time would be any different.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor is now in the hands of the Jin people, and the Jin people have not lost much strength. They are just surrounded by King Qin's army, and they have not seen an absolute decline at all.

"The whole army listens to the order and changes its route to the west!" Chen Xun rewarded Meng Gu with a few grains of special bird food.

These bird foods are made from a mixture of various grains and are roasted. People will find them very delicious when they eat them, and snow pigeons especially like them.

As the owner of the Wonderful Zoo, Chen Xun can sense the simple information contained in the cry of the snow pigeon, a level 6 contracted animal, and it can also understand Chen Xun's commands.

Relying on Meng Gu's reconnaissance in the sky, Chen Xun led the dragoons to avoid several waves of intercepting troops from the Jin Army.

After twists and turns, they finally broke out of the Jin army's encirclement before dark.

Chen Xun overestimated the coordination and dispatching ability of the Jin people and underestimated his own advancing speed. This breakout did not engage the Jin army from beginning to end.

"Would you like to arrange for the soldiers to take a rest?" Sun Zheng stepped forward and asked.

Chen Xun also paid attention to the status of the soldiers. Just now he discovered that many injured soldiers could no longer withstand the continuous bumps and died of their injuries.

"Stop and rest, and bandage the injured soldiers." Chen Xun ordered.

The army stopped to rest. Everyone was very tired, including the soldiers who worked part-time as cooks, so everyone could only take out dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, it is already summer, so eating cold food is not that uncomfortable.

Chen Xun filled in a few words and then got up to visit the wounded soldiers.Although the medical soldiers were also hungry, they still endured it and raced against time to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers. Many soldiers were helping beside them.

Several large pots have been set up, and boiling water is boiling in the pots.

At present, Chen Jiajun's military medical system is very mature. Chen Xun has already exhausted all the medical knowledge he knows, and he can't do much to help himself.

"Captain, I just checked the statistics. This time when we eliminated the cavalry of the Golden Army, we killed 160 people and injured 390 people." Lai Qingyun came to report.

These casualties were mainly caused by the final stage of hand-to-hand combat. At that time, the Jin Army's cavalry scattered in all directions and fled for their lives. The musketeers could only block one side, and the other three sides were surrounded by other arms. Naturally, many casualties occurred.

"Take a rest and find a place as soon as possible to cremate the soldiers who died in the battle." Chen Xun didn't say much.

Since ancient times, he has become completely accustomed to it.

Five thousand against five thousand, the enemy was completely wiped out, and our own side suffered more than 500 casualties. The battle losses were already very low.When muskets are fully popularized in the future, and we face this kind of enemy again, our battle losses will definitely be even lower.

"Yes!" Everyone had no objection to Chen Xun's suggestion of cremating the body.Instead of leaving the corpses of comrades-in-arms to be spoiled by the enemy, or buried in a foreign land, it is better to be cremated and brought back.

All the soldiers of Chen Jiajun agreed with this point.

"Next, are we going to continue to fight against the Jin Army?" Lai Qingyun asked. After the initial victory, the next step of the battle is in front of him.

"Leave the battlefield for a day or two to recuperate before continuing." Chen Xun replied.

The war has progressed to this point, and it is a struggle for perseverance and endurance. Whichever side cannot hold on first will lose.

"Aren't we going to help King Qin's army attack the city?" Lai Qingyun thought this was an opportunity.

"No, the casualties of the siege will be very high. We have few people now, so it is better not to participate in such a large-scale battle." Chen Xun shook his head and refused.

On April [-]th, at Chen time, Fengqiu City was north.

Three pontoon bridges were built by Chen Jiajun's navy on the fork of the Yellow River, and King Qin's army was constantly crossing the river through the pontoon bridges.

More than 5 King Qin's troops have gathered on the south bank of the river, and a similar number of King Qin's troops are waiting to cross the river on the north bank.

The defenders in Fengqiu City are nervously preparing for the battle to defend the city. Marshal Wanyan Zongwang led his troops out of the city yesterday to encircle and suppress Chen's army. Now there are only [-] Liao Han people left in the city. This small number of troops makes General Jin feel uneasy at all. .

It was not until the end of Si Shi that all the Song army crossed the forks of the Yellow River and surrounded Fengqiu City.

"The Art of War: Planning for Attack" by Sun Tzu: "Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround the enemy ten times."

The strength of the Song army has reached [-] times that of the defenders. This is a guaranteed victory in the siege.

Sure enough, the Song army officially launched an siege at noon, launching fierce attacks from all sides at the same time. The dense siege troops filled the outside of the city wall tightly, leaving no gaps.

The simple siege ladder was built against the four walls, making it impossible for the defenders to worry about everything.

There were no defenders behind many of the long laddered city walls, allowing the siege troops to easily reach the top of the city.

The siege ended very quickly. Before noon, the city gates on all sides were opened, and the Liao Han people in the city had already formally surrendered.

After capturing Fengqiu, King Qin's army did not relax and immediately organized troops to strengthen the defenses in preparation for the Jin people's counterattack.

"General Miao, the city of Kaifeng is ahead." Among the troops of King Qin who came to Kaifeng this time, Fu Miao's army had the largest number, so everyone openly regarded him as a leader.

"I wonder what the current situation of the Chen family's army is?" Fu Miao looked at the Jin soldiers standing on the wall of Kaifeng's outer city and knew that not all the defenders in the city had been transferred out: "Has King Qin's army come from other directions?"

"The battle situation of Chen Jiajun is unclear. However, Tan Ma reported that the main force of the Jin army is still outside and has not returned." Another Song general next to him said. "No trace of King Qin's army was seen in other directions."

"It doesn't matter whether the main force of the Jin Army has returned, because although they are outside, they are only thirty miles away from Kaifeng at most, and they can return at any time. And it is impossible for us to capture Kaifeng City before they return. This time it is a waste of time. Let's go." If General Song who said this was left in Chen Jiajun, he would definitely be blacklisted by Chen Xun, and then find an opportunity to demote him.

Before the battle even begins, it is extremely incompetent to say depressing words and hold back.

"I wonder how many golden soldiers are left in Kaifeng City?" Miao Fu was a little reluctant.
