Chapter 259 Return to Aid
The woman was dragged into the bedroom by Zhang Di, wailing and crying.
She struggled even more fiercely in bed.
Zhang Di sensed someone watching him from outside the window.
He lay on top of the woman and whispered in her ear:
"My lady, please forgive me."
"I was forced into it too,"
"The Jin thieves are watching from outside the window."
The woman only cried and struggled.
They can't possibly listen to these words.
Zhang Di sat up and slapped himself twice across the face.
The woman was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented, and she shouted angrily:
"You bitch, stop crying and making a scene,"
"It's so noisy it hurts Grandpa's ears."
After saying that, he pretended to borrow his belt.
Lie down and whisper again:
"My lady, I will not enter you,"
"Just pretend for a moment."
"Once I surrender to the Ming Dynasty,"
"You must stand up and testify for me,"
"I was forced into this situation."
The woman understood.
But he was still in a daze.
They completely forgot about acting.
Until Zhang Di unzipped her pants,
The woman screamed again instinctively.
"Yes, that's how it's called."
Zhang Di didn't dare to look back out the window.
Sarihe observed for a while,
It seemed like this was quite interesting.
He laughed loudly and turned to leave.
.....
Zhao Prefecture and Gao City
They are only sixty li apart.
And it's flat.
They are separated only by a canal.
Zhao Yuan and Wanyan Zongwang each chose a city to attack.
Strictly speaking, they belong to the same battlefield.
For cavalry
They can rush to the rescue in half a day.
Wanyan Zongwang was not worried at all about the fall of Gaocheng.
Under Wanyan Zongwang's command,
There were a full 20,000 cavalrymen!
He first led his cavalry towards Zhao Prefecture.
The area within a radius of twenty or thirty li of Zhao Prefecture,
Use cavalry to completely obscure the battlefield's visibility.
This kept the Ming army in the dark about the movements of the main Jin army.
Even more than ten miles southwest of Gaocheng,
Jin cavalry also appeared.
You can contact Sariho anytime.
They could keep track of Zhao Yuan's progress in the siege at any time.
Yue Fei set off early.
They successfully returned to Zhao Prefecture to provide assistance.
Generals Guan Sheng and Li Qiong,
However, they were suppressed by the Jin cavalry.
He dared not take a straight route back to Zhao Prefecture.
The only option is to head south along the Qinshui River to Ningjin first.
In other words, the Ming army in Zhao Prefecture had been divided into two parts.
If Guan Sheng and Li Qiong continue to return to provide support,
It is highly likely that they will be on the way.
They would then be surrounded and attacked by a large force of gold cavalry.
Ultimately, cavalry is still more mobile!
"Will Zhao Zhou be alright?"
Inside Ningjin City, Li Qiong was filled with worry.
His whole family is there.
Guan Sheng shook his head and said, "It's definitely alright, we have Yue Fei and Li Shifu's troops."
"They can also conscript civilians from the city and provide them with weapons and armor."
"The city of Zhao Prefecture is only slightly inferior to that of Zhen Ding Prefecture,"
"How could the Jin army easily conquer this place?"
"We're both stuck in Ningjin,"
"We must not rashly attempt to rescue Zhao Zhou,"
"We will surely be ambushed by the Jin cavalry during the march!"
"Are we just going to sit here and watch our allies get surrounded without offering any help?"
Li Qiong was somewhat unwilling.
Guan Sheng said, "Ningjin is also extremely important."
“We’ll stay here,”
"It can both echo the policies of Zhao Prefecture,"
"It can also protect the grain depot in Xinhe Town."
……
Outside Zhao Prefecture, another Jin infantry force arrived.
The craftsmen have already begun building the trebuchet.
"Did that Ming army enter Ningjin City?"
"Their supply ships headed south,"
"The troops marched along the east bank of the Qinshui River,"
“At that time, Prince Zhu’s cavalry provided protection.”
"Our great Jin cavalry fears being attacked while crossing the river,"
"We dare not easily cross the river to launch an attack."
"We'll cross the river after we've taken a longer route,"
"This Ming army has already gone far away,"
"They must all retreat back into Ningjin City and not leave."
Chapter 260 The Heavy Artillery Arrives
"Intensify the attack on Zhao Prefecture,"
"As long as Zhao Prefecture is in danger,"
"This will lure the Ming army from Ningjin to their rescue,"
"We'll just wait to besiege the city and then attack the reinforcements."
Wanyan Zongwang led several hundred personal guards,
He personally inspected the defenses of Zhao Prefecture.
He had been here two years ago.
They were in a hurry to march on Kaifeng.
The garrison of Zhao Prefecture refused to surrender.
Wanyan Zongwang then did not launch a full-scale attack.
In fact, as long as the garrison of Zhao Prefecture at that time...
It possesses the ability to set up camp and defend in the wild.
This would block the Jin army's fastest retreat route.
In that case, the Jin soldiers would either have to take a long detour,
They either had to abandon the stolen ships,
They brought back the looted goods and people by land.
But we can't make assumptions.
If we really want to make an assumption,
If Zhao Yuan had sufficient troops at that time,
Wanyan Zongwang must stay in Kaifeng!
The city of Zhao Prefecture, expanded in the early Northern Song Dynasty.
The scale is basically the same as that during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The city wall's circumference has reached thirteen li.
It is rectangular in shape.
The northwest corner was deliberately recessed.
This was done to utilize a natural stream as a moat.
The Xiao River flows past its southwest side.
