"Marshal, calm down, calm down!
This is Zhao Kai intentionally provoking the marshal. We can't fall for it!”
Looking at Wanyan Zong Wang whose anger was about to spurt out of the sky, Wanyan Chang, who was at the side, hurriedly stroked Wanyan Zong Wang's back and comforted him.
To be honest, even if Wanyan Chang was Wanyan Zong Wang's confidant, at this moment, he really felt that his marshal was a bit miserable.
Ever since he met Zhao Kai, Wanyan Zongwang's invincible golden body was broken, and it seemed that he never had a good time again.
During the Battle of Bianliang, he was chased by Zhao Kai until he cut off his beard and abandoned his robe, leaving with an arrow. This was the first time he was humiliated.
During the Battle of Daming Manor, he was scared by Zhao Kai and fled in a donkey cart. He was jolted until he was crippled, only to realize that Zhao Kai did not even send anyone to chase after him. This was the second time he was humiliated.
But now, he had been teased by Zhao Kai in the air, causing the marshal flag to retreat a hundred steps like a frightened bird. This was the third time he had been humiliated!
Especially this third time, Wanyan Zongwang was played like a silly bird by Zhao Kai in front of the 500,000 strong army of both sides. He lost face!
It was just like the Three Kingdoms Era, where Zhuge Jing had left and Sima Sima had left. He would become the laughing stock of the world!
Therefore, including Wanyan Chang and Ye Lui Yujian, the Jin generals were more wary and wary of the Song Emperor Zhao Kai on the other side.
He was only in his early twenties, but he was so decisive, brave, and arrogant. He also had a terrifying plan to play with people's hearts, which almost made the famous commander of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang, collapse.
Even if such a person wasn't the emperor, he was definitely a formidable person. Moreover, he was an emperor who controlled an army of 180,000!
If Zhao Kai didn't die, he would become Big Gold's biggest worry sooner or later!
"This time, no matter what, I will destroy Zhao Kai on both sides of the Zhang River!”
Wanyan Zong Wang finally calmed down. His gaze was incomparably cold as he said,"Send a message to Zhao Gou in the south. Tell him to attack from behind Zhao Kai and cooperate with me to attack Zhao Kai's rear.
Tell him that after I destroy Zhao Kai, I will make him the Emperor of Great Song and rule over the Yellow River with Great Jin!”
Wanyan Zong Wang glanced at Wanyan Chang and ordered.
Before this, even though Wanyan Zongwang had been defeated by Zhao Kai twice, he only felt that Zhao Kai himself was somewhat extraordinary. He didn't have any influential forces under him. As long as he gathered another army, he could easily crush Zhao Kai.
But now, Wanyan Zongwang felt that even if he had 100,000 Jin Kingdom elite cavalry and 200,000 infantry archers, he might be able to defeat Zhao Kai's 180,000 troops, but he might not be able to keep Zhao Kai.
Moreover, not only was Zhao Kai not angered, but he was also playing with Wanyan Zongwang on the other side of the river. In a short period of time, Zhao Kai didn't have any plans to cross the river!
That was why he put down his pride and wanted to join forces with the Kang Emperor, Zhao Gou.
Not only did he think of Zhao Gou, but he also looked to the west. That was where the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army was located. The 100,000-strong army led by the Jin Army West Route Marshal Wanyan Zonghan (Nianhan) was attacking Taiyuan, the important town of the Song Dynasty.
If Nien Han took down Taiyuan and led his army down from the east of the river, coupled with the King of Kang, Zhao Gou, attacking from the rear, then the Jin army would be able to crush Zhao Kai and the 180,000 Song troops on the bank of the Zhang River!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Zong Wang looked at Medicine Master Guo and said,"General Guo!
Before the decisive battle begins, I'll hand over the heavy responsibility of defending Zhang River to you!”
When Apothecary Guo heard this, his eyes were still a little red as he knelt down and said,"Don't worry, marshal. This general and Zhao Kai cannot live under the same sky. If Zhao Kai dares to cross the river, this general will immediately cut off Zhao Kai's head and present it to marshal!”
Wanyan Zong Wang nodded. Although Doctor Guo was a servant of the three families, he was a smart and useful servant. He knew that Jin was strong and Song was weak. He also knew that he was hated by the Song Dynasty for surrendering Jin and betraying Song.
In addition, his son had been shot dead by Zhao Kai, and he had a deep hatred for Zhao Kai. Therefore, if he asked Apothecary Guo to lead his subordinates to defend Zhanghe, Apothecary Guo would definitely work hard!
This way, they could preserve the core tribal soldiers of the Jin Kingdom and first exhaust the Han and Liao servant armies under Guo Yaoshi's command!
After issuing these military orders, Wanyan Zong Wang returned to the city of Hejian Prefecture under the escort of the army.
He had learned his lesson from the previous few times and placed himself as the commander in the safest place far away from the battlefield and surrounded by the army. He sat at the center and sharpened his blade, waiting for revenge!
On the other side, Zhao Kai watched as the Jin army mobilized their forces and made a defensive gesture. He calmly waved his hand and ordered the army to set up camp on the south bank of the Zhang River.
It was true that Zhao Kai wanted to recover all of Great Song's lost territory, but he would not risk the lives of so many soldiers to start a risky battle.
That was because it was no different from suicide.
Although Zhao Kai had won Wanyan Zongwang twice in a row, the first time was a blitzkrieg. He used the elite cavalry of the Red Flame Army to kill Wanyan Zongwang and caught him off guard. He chased after Wanyan Zongwang and beat him up, making the main force of the Jin army feel restrained.
The second time was to attack with numbers, coordinating from the inside and outside. Both battles had tactical tricks.
However, if it was a proper battle, the current Great Song army would still be at a disadvantage.
Just the 100,000 cavalrymen of the Jin army on the other side alone was an extremely terrifying force!
In this era, cavalry was the ultimate killing machine on the battlefield. It was a crushing force against infantry!
A bicycle that weighed dozens of pounds could easily knock down an adult, let alone a warhorse that weighed hundreds of pounds!
On the battlefield, infantry against cavalry was like pedestrians in the future facing a speeding car!
It took a lot of courage to be able to run without running!
Moreover, Wanyan Zongwang had 100,000 cavalry!
The 100,000 cavalry galloped forward like a huge mountain crashing down!
Apart from the 3,000 Red Flame Troops, most of the troops under Zhao Kai's command, including the Western Troop, were infantry!
In the open plains of Hebei, if they were to fight in formation, facing the charge of 100,000 cavalry, even if the Song army was not afraid of death, they would suffer heavy casualties and might even be completely wiped out!
"Your Majesty, Wanyan Zongwang's 300,000 troops are defending the river and he has 100,000 cavalry, but he doesn't plan to take the initiative to attack.”
Zhong Shidao stroked his beard and spoke with a serious expression.
The Song army was mostly infantry, so the best strategy was to wait for the cavalry to attack. Then, the Song army would form a dense formation and use their spears, crossbows, and flesh to block the Jin cavalry.
When the Jin army's momentum was blocked, it would be time for the Red Flame Army to attack. With Zhao Kai's extraordinary bravery, they had great confidence in defeating the Jin cavalry.
And now that Wanyan Zongwang didn't want to fight, even an old commander like Zhong Shidao felt that he didn't know where to start.
The generals, including Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, and Lu Junyi, had the same expression.
They knew that the Jin army could stall for time because they had a strong country and many soldiers. They could afford to stall on the land of Great Song.
On the other hand, Zhao Kai's side had a strong enemy in front of them, and behind him was the restless King Kang, Zhao Gou, and other independent forces. The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be!
Just as Zhong Shidao and the others were worried, Zhao Kai looked at them and smiled."Generals, don't worry!
The plan to defeat the enemy is already in my heart!”
