Gao Biao and Lei Wanchun fought viciously for more than 30 rounds, and the victory was inseparable.

In the Jurchen army, Dolgon, who had just fled from defeat, cautiously proposed to Wanyan Zongwang: "Second prince, General Sui is brave, but I am afraid that General Gao Biao will not be able to tell the winner if he is entangled with him for a hundred rounds." ”

Wanyan Zongwang glanced at him lightly and said, "Then what do you think?" ”

Dolgon smiled and said, "Although General Sui is brave, he doesn't know the art of war and doesn't know the advantages of geography. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command are all infantry, but instead of seizing the high ground, he lined up on the plains, doesn't this just give us the opportunity to charge and kill? And as I watched just now, the Sui army did not carry the kind of weapons that could shoot and kill troops on a large scale. ”

Wanyan Zongwang frowned, looked straight at the Sui army in the distance, and did not reply to Dolgon immediately.

"Second prince, in fact, even if General Gao Biao can kill the Sui general, it will not be a fatal blow to the Sui army, and it will not be of much use to the purpose of our trip, at most, we know that there is a fierce general in the Sui army," Dolgon persuaded Wanyan Zongwang, and inadvertently excused himself for the defeat of being beaten by Lei Wanchun and fleeing from the desert just now.

Wanyan Zongwang squinted at Dolgon, seeing his selfishness clearly. However, when he pondered it, he also felt that there was some truth in Dorgon's words. Immediately, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wanyanhu, Qi Wenzhen, the two of you each led about 5,000 cavalry to raid and tear through the Sui army's formation from the flank. ”

The two Jurchen captains, who set off with the army, arched their hands and led away in unison.

Wanyan Zongwang raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Brave and invincible Jurchen sons, take out your courage and use the weapons in your hands to tell the Han people on the other side who is the bravest warrior in the world!" ”

"Kill!"

In a tsunami-like roar of the mountains, tens of thousands of Jurchen iron horsemen swooped down from the high slope like a rolling torrent. The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the ground trembled slightly.

Lei Wanchun, who was fighting with Gao Biao, changed his complexion, and immediately forced Gao Biao back with a false move, and rushed back to the front to command his soldiers to counterattack.

"Rush over and kill all the Sui dogs!"

Although Lei Wanchun returned in time and made a counterattack, only a few thousand crossbowmen could not stop the surprise attack of tens of thousands of elite horsemen on the plains. Moreover, the Jurchen cavalry, who had lived on horseback since childhood, had superb equestrian skills, and even in the case of high-speed galloping, they still did not need to control the reins with their hands.

Naturally, these free hands were not idle, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and kept shooting towards the Sui army.

Lei Wanchun resisted desperately for a while, and saw that the Jurchen cavalry on both wings had gradually outflanked him, and he was about to cut off his short circuit. At that moment, he no longer fell in love with the war, stretched out his hand, and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"Chase me, chase to the bottom of Xinchang City!"

Wanyan Zongwang led the army to chase after him and chased directly to the city of Xinchang. But I saw that the gate of Xinchang City was wide open, and the city head was empty, not to mention the soldiers guarding the city, and even the flag could not be seen.

Lei Wanchun led the army back to the city, suddenly reined in his war horse, and shouted outside the city: "Jurchen barbarians, dare to enter the city to fight to the death?" ”

"Do you dare to fight again if your subordinates are defeated?" Gao Biao snorted disdainfully, and was about to rush to the city.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang rushed up from behind, stretched out his hand to hold Gao Biao's reins, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is suspended, and those who dare to enter the city will be killed!" ”

Gao Biao was stunned when he heard this: "General, why are you?" The Sui army was defeated, and the city gate was not closed, isn't it a good opportunity to recapture Xinchang? ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "General Gao, you have also fought for many years, when have you ever seen the city gate wide open when defending the city, and there is not a single defender on the head of the city. According to the report of the defeated soldiers in Xinchang County, there were as many as 50,000 Sui troops attacking the city, but now there are only 10,000 people fighting us, and the remaining tens of thousands are lying in ambush in the city waiting to ambush us. ”

Dorgon also rode over, and chimed in, "And once we enter the city, the roads in the city are complicated, and the streets and alleys are numerous, and our cavalry advantage will be lost. With such a crude strategy of the Sui army, is it really that I am a woman? ”

Just as the Jurchen generals were about to be convinced, Lei Wanchun's hearty laughter suddenly came from the city: "Hahaha, the timid and fearful Jurchen barbarians. A certain family opened the city gate for you, and you still cowered and didn't dare to enter the city, and you dared to touch my tiger whiskers with such a little courage. Go back to your hometown early! ”

Gao Biao's face turned red when he heard this, and he said impassionedly: "Second prince, Sui Gou insulted my Jurchen warrior so much, please forgive me for not tolerating it!" ”

Several other Jurchen generals, Wan Yan Hu and Qi Wen Zhen, also asked for battle with emotion.

Seeing this, Dolgon's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him: "Second prince, Sui Dog is so slanderous. It is clearly to provoke us to enter the city, and there will be an ambush in the city! ”

"Shut up!" Gao Biao pointed at Dolgon and shouted: "What is greedy for life and afraid of death, the dignity of my Jurchen warrior is not allowed to be trampled on even if he dies?" The city gate is wide open and not entered, this kind of thing can't we Jurchen warriors do? Even if there is an ambush in the city, we are not afraid! ”

"That's it!"

Several other Jurchen generals also shouted at Dolgon menacingly. Dolgon's face changed, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

After all, the Jurchens have only just derived civilization in recent years, and except for a few special characters such as Wanyan Aguta, most of them still retain a barbarian style, doing things impulsively and without thinking through the brain.

Looking at the excited generals in front of him, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his brows were twisted into the word "Sichuan". Although he can use his position as the chief general to forcibly order the withdrawal of troops, this will inevitably affect his position in the army, especially now that the heir of Wanyan Aguta is undecided.

"Dolgon!"

After a long pause, Wanyan Zongwang slowly spoke: "You lead three thousand cavalry to lead the city, if there is an ambush in the city, withdraw immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Dolgon suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly scolded Yan Zongwang for being ruthless, and even used himself as a death squad, if there was an ambush in the city, would he still be able to come out?

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang knew that Dolgon would be dissatisfied, but among the soldiers and horses he brought out, except for Gao Biao and Dolgon, the others were his henchmen. And combined with the performance of Gao Biao and Dolgon just now, it is clear who to choose as the bait for temptation.
