"In other words, the so-called King of Wei, the Fourth Prince, the commander of an army, has lost the confidence in this battle?" Yu Yunwen's eyes were red, and he asked back with an almost grim smile on the couch.
"Who has the confidence?" Hong Ya was not angry at all, but stood there with his sleeves rolled up and sighed for a while. "Who has the confidence between the Jin army and the Song army? The Song army has the advantage in manpower, but the Jin army is defending across the river, and they also have the advantage of a large cavalry brigade on the plain. Once the crooked cavalry came out, they fought back and forth for more than a hundred rounds without collapsing. Is it fake? At this time, no one has the confidence, and the officials on the other side are probably not confident either!"
Both sides fell silent immediately.
But soon, Yu Yunwen calmly asked again: "How many soldiers does the Jin army have? Everyone says that the Jin army has 130,000 or 140,000 or 150,000 soldiers. But is it 130,000, 140,000, or 150,000?"
Hong Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't you think it's too late for you to ask about this now? There's a commotion outside. I just asked in person. King Wang De's Yaksha vanguard crossed the bridge. The war has officially started now."
"Since the war has already started, there's no harm in talking about it, right?" Yu Yunwen stared at the other party, unable to ask any more questions.
"It's not that I can't tell you, but I really don't know." Hong Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly. . "Yu Tanhua, to be honest, even Balisu may not know how many soldiers the Jin army has. The battle was too hasty, there was no replenishment, no reorganization, and all the troops suffered losses. There were several battles in Daming Prefecture, and there was also a large-scale cavalry battle in Longde Prefecture..."
Yu Yunwen said nothing, just stared at the other person.
"If you ask how many Wanhu there are? Anyone can tell you that there are sixteen Wanhu." Hong Ya was stared at helplessly and could only continue to be honest. "But there are Wanhu who are all cavalry and come as reinforcements, with a full hundred Moukes, Wanhu who are disabled like Yelu Mawu, and a Wanhu named Pu Suyue from Bohai who is just filling in the numbers. At this time, he is providing support on the other side of the Hutuo River and can't even go to the battlefield! The combat effectiveness is also very different. For example, the Wanhu who is all cavalry, half of them are Han people from Yanyun, and the other half are mixed Hu from outside the Great Wall. They are all new troops who have never been on the battlefield. Do you think they are useful or not? But the four Hezha Meng'an who came from Yanyun are led by Wanyan Poshu, who is Wanyan Loushi's deputy general and the son of Wanyan Jiemu, who was left behind in Datong in the past. There are only four Meng'an. Who can despise them? Even if we don't talk about these, what about the Wanhu who have dozens of Moukes and thousands of Han soldiers? Isn't it also very different? Are the two Wanhu of Balisu and Bendu the same as the two Wanhu of Datong? Everything will be decided on the battlefield."
Yu Yunwen finally sneered: "So, the combat power of the Jin army is uneven. The sixteen Wanhu are actually the combat power of thirteen or fourteen Wanhu?"
"Probably about 130,000 or 140,000 soldiers." After sighing, Hong Ya suddenly asked back, "It is said that Emperor Zhao has 170,000, 180,000 or 190,000 soldiers this time. Then, may I ask Yu Tanhua, is the number of soldiers in the imperial camp 170,000, 180,000, or 190,000?"
"Two hundred thousand!" Yu Yunwen replied calmly. "Commander Qu brought more than 20,000."
Hong Ya shook his head repeatedly, too lazy to argue.
The two of them fell silent again in the tent.
But soon, Yu Yunwen suddenly asked again: "How many new troops are there in Yanjing? Why are they fighting so urgently? Why don't they come together? Are they too late?"
Hong Ya narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when suddenly, there was another loud noise outside the tent.
The Jin Kingdom Privy Councilor was shocked and left Yu Yunwen behind to go out and investigate, but he heard the news that "the King of Han crossed the river from upstream and launched a large-scale attack."
This King Han was certainly not Wu Jie, but Han Shizhong. Only Han Shizhong could cause such a sensational effect on the auxiliary troops and signed troops of the Jin army.
Obviously, after the battle between Huyan Tong and Tuhesu, the remaining troops of the left army of the imperial camp chose to advance directly without hesitation after crossing the river. By this time, they must have engaged in a full-scale battle with the left wing heavy troops of the Jin army. At the very least, Han Shizhong's own banner had appeared on the front line, otherwise it would never have caused such a shock.
"Is that a sudden speed?"
On the plain covered with green seedlings, under the unparalleled banner, the tall Han Shizhong, without a visor, stopped his horse in the drizzle which was getting heavier, then stretched out a hand wearing a leather glove and pointed at the Jin army in front of him.
"yes."
As the principal, Wang Shixiong naturally responded.
"No wonder Hu Yan rushed straight up." Han Shizhong sneered. "But I heard that although Tu Hesu was lame, he was much more stable... How could a group of crooked horses stretch the main force so far? Seven or eight thousand people, deployed four miles?"
Wang Shixiong fell silent immediately.
"It should be because the rear troops have not arrived yet, so they have no choice but to do this." Jie Yuan, who had turned around at some point, suddenly appeared not far away. "The scouts said that the two Wanhu in parallel in the south are only four or five miles apart."
"This is the opportunity." Han Shizhong laughed again. "I've said it before, Wang Yasha is a brave man. He must have attacked from the stone bridge and pulled back a Wan Hu who was originally going to come here... This is the opportunity!"
By the end of his speech, his smile had turned into a grim grin, and as soon as he stopped talking, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin put on his bronze visor.
All the people below the Jie Yuan ranked first put on their armors together, then all remained silent and waited for military orders.
"Nothing to say!" Han Shizhong pointed. "Beiwei troops, follow me. We will fight cavalry with cavalry, charge head-on, and destroy one of their cavalry. The rest of the army will be handed over to Jie Yuan. But there is only one specific request, which is to send troops to hold up the broken flank here, so that he can't expand again!"
