Chapter 337: Forced out of the city
Xiao Ding led an army of 20,000 to set up camp ten miles outside Shaoxian County, and when he traveled during the day, he had already observed the terrain in the valley of Da Yuling, so after dinner, he began to divide his troops and send generals, according to his own strategic plan, and arranged all the soldiers and generals in advance.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for tomorrow to implement the plan. Now, what Xiao Ding is most worried about is that Song Yinbei will not dare to bring troops out to meet him tomorrow, in that case, all his plans will be in vain.
However, now Xiao Ding doesn't have a very good way in his mind to make Song Yinbei definitely lead his troops out of the city tomorrow. It seems that we can only act when we call for battle tomorrow.
Xiao Ding went out of the tent to inspect the camp for a while, and then walked towards his sleeping tent. At night, the leader of the patrol camp was several commanders, divided into three shifts. A lot of troops in the camp have been sent out tonight, in case Song Yinbei takes advantage of the darkness of the night to send troops to sneak attack, and the camp on his side is empty, he will definitely suffer.
It's just that Xiao Ding expected that Song Yinbei had already been scared by himself, and he would definitely not dare to go out of the city to steal the camp. Therefore, he dared to send all his soldiers out with confidence.
Sure enough, there was nothing to do all night, and Song Yinzi really didn't have the courage to come out and steal the camp. In his opinion, since Xiao Ding's side is willing to bring 20,000 troops over, he must be ready to be stolen from the camp, if he brings troops to steal the camp, maybe he will fall into some trick on Xiao Ding's side.
After breakfast, the Yang brothers led all the remaining soldiers in the camp to call for battle in front of Shaoxian County with supplies.
Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou also rode horses and mixed in the army.
The two brothers, Yang Jingtian and Yang Jingze, rode to the city, each brandishing a brave silver spear in their hands, which was majestic.
Song Yinzi received a report that someone was calling for battle in front of the city, and he really didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy. He just led his generals to the top of the city and looked down.
I saw the team on Xiao Ding's side, the soldiers were bright and bright, and they were full of energy. But it doesn't look like a team of 20,000 people! Didn't the proclamation say that there were 20,000 men? Song Yinbei questioned in his heart.
At this time, Yi Chunzhu, the military general beside Song Yinbei, saw that there were only so few people on the other side, so he said: "Your Royal Highness, it seems that the other party did not lead the whole army to attack the city, and only a few thousand troops dared to come over and be rampant, which is too ignorant of us." Give me an arrow, and let me lead 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet their thousands, and I will definitely cut off the heads of those two young generals and come back to give you a hot drink. ”
This Yi Chunzhu is the military general who led 30,000 soldiers and horses from Tingzhou Pass in Yuezhou to support Song Yinbei. Who would have thought that he encountered an ambush by Yue Yunfeng and Yue Yunyu's troops on the way, and the 30,000 soldiers lost more than 10,000, and only brought about 20,000 soldiers and horses to Shaoxian County.
Yi Chunzhu felt very ashamed of this matter, and was bent on making a great contribution to find face. I just saw that there were very few soldiers in the city who came to call for battle, only a few thousand, so I wanted to ask to lead my 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to fight a beautiful victory.
In his opinion, 20,000 soldiers and horses fighting a few thousand people will definitely be able to win.
Song Yinzi shook his head and said: "General Yi, don't worry, last night, I heard a report from the detective that the other party brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, but today there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses calling for battle under the city. ”
The brothers of the Yang family under the city called for a long time, and saw that there was no movement in Shaoxian County, but they saw that above the city, there was a group of people guarding a young son in the middle, pointing towards the city.
Seeing that the enemy did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, the Yang brothers were also very anxious, of course they also knew that the main core of today's strategic plan was to lure the enemy out.
However, after experiencing several defeats, this Song Yinzi was already like a frightened bird, and he no longer dared to fight. What can I do?
Xiao Ding had also seen this situation in the army in the rear at this time. I was also very anxious.
The other party refused to lead the troops out of the city, and he tossed in vain last night. That's not going to work! We must find a way to force Song Yinzi out of the city to fight.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding hurriedly ordered: "Use the crossbow cart to launch a pass at those generals on the city gate tower first!" ”
As soon as the order was handed down, soldiers pushed dozens of crossbow carts left in the camp to the front of the battle.
The Yang brothers received Xiao Ding's order, so they commanded the launch towards the city.
This ballista fired a long iron-headed wooden pole, which was very powerful. Dozens of crossbow trucks were fired together, all of which shot at the position of Song Yinbei at the head of the city. only scared Song Yinbei into fleeing in a hurry.
The generals under him were also frightened.
Especially Yi Chunzhu, he had never seen this kind of big killing weapon of the other party before, and when he saw it at this time, he said in his heart, it is strange that he can defend the city with this kind of killing weapon.
So, he asked Song Yin again for an order: "Your Royal Highness, the other party has such a powerful weapon, if the city is attacked, I think it is difficult for our army to defend, in my opinion, it is better to lead the troops out of the camp, order the shield hand to be in front, as long as a burst of rush killing, kill in front of the opponent, their weapon will not play a role." If not, there is no other way! ”
At this time, Song Yinzi once again remembered the scene when the other party was attacking the city when he was guarding Qianling County. At that time, the other party used this kind of crossbow arrow, and there were no people standing on the city, so how could it be defended?
So, he nodded and said: "Although the other side has thousands of soldiers attacking the city, but in my opinion, they must still have some conspiracy, I suggest, you go out to meet the battle It is better to bring more soldiers, so that even if there is a conspiracy, it may not be able to succeed, they only have a total of 20,000 soldiers, and our army has a total of more than 30,000, how can there be more than them." ”
When Yi Chunzhu heard that Song Yinbei promised to go out of the city to fight, he was happy in his heart, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness the prince is wise! Shall I take all the defenders of the city out? ”
"Just leave 2,000 troops behind, and the remaining 30,000 or so soldiers will be led by you as the commander-in-chief, and let General Wu Gui be the deputy marshal and go out of the city with you to face the battle, General Wang Ba's injuries have not yet healed, so stay with me to defend the city." Song Yinzi said.
"The last general will definitely live up to his mission!" Yi Chunzhu said excitedly with his fists clenched, and then turned around and went to transfer troops.
When the brothers of the Yang family saw that the son and a group of generals on the city gate tower had all fled down the city gate, they ordered the soldiers to open their mouths and scold, naming and scolding Song Yinbei for being a turtle king with a shrunken head, not daring to show his head, his subordinates were defeated, he was raised by a concubine, and he had no guts at all, etc., anyway, no matter how ugly the words are, they can be scolded.
Song Yinzi heard the soldiers outside the city shouting in unison behind the city wall, and he was also so angry that he smoked! In fact, he was really born to the princess of Jiaozhou, not to the princess, although he is the largest among the many heirs of the king of Jiaozhou, but his second brother, that is, the prince born to the princess, has always looked down on him.
So the soldiers outside the city scolded him for being born to a concubine, and they poked him in the sore spot. Gritted his teeth in anger. Originally, he wanted to just send Yi Chunzhu and Wu Gui to lead the troops out of the city, but this time he temporarily changed his mind and decided to personally lead the troops out of the city, and he must kill all the annoying soldiers of the other party in order to get out of this evil breath.
Xiao Ding was hidden in his own formation, and suddenly saw that the gate of Shaoxian County was wide open, and soldiers and horses came out of the city, he was happy, and said secretly, Song Yinzi finally sent troops out of the city, can you still run this time?
