Chapter 499: The Far Ahead Plan Finally Came to naught
When Suzhou City fell into this strange siege war, the Tartars behind the signing army were slowly retreating, on the hillside more than ten miles away from Suzhou, the Tartar commander looked at the team from his feet, and couldn't help sighing, he was unwilling to fail, and wanted to let the signing army capture Suzhou City, but in the end he was stopped by the inexplicable weapons of Suzhou City, and he was a little unwilling.
"General, although this Suzhou City has that strange weapon, if you let the signing army attack it once, you can't capture this Suzhou City," Lu Erchi asked with some puzzlement.
But speaking of this, thinking of the performance of those signing troops in the siege, he pouted, "I don't know what the Great Khan thinks, he has recruited so many Song troops, how brave and good these guys are, and they are not as fierce and fierce as our grassland men, these days to attack the city, if we let our warriors go up, maybe we are drinking wine, eating meat and playing women in Suzhou City these days."
The Tartar commander glanced at the generals around him, and saw that everyone had such expressions, and couldn't help but sigh, the area they occupied was too big, and there were too few outstanding talents in the clan, so many people, they didn't even see the plight in the army, at this point, they were not as good as the southerners after all, just like Li Song, the former commander of the army, guessed the problem of their army just through the daily allocation of grain and grass, but the people on their side still don't understand the problem.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the frustration in his heart, and patiently explained, "This has been a hard battle, the signing army has no sharpness, strong self-oppression, it is not good to mutiny on the battlefield, and then we will suppress them, if the defenders in the city take the opportunity to attack, we are afraid that we will lose a lot of soldiers and horses, so it is better to give up, but we are short of food and grass, and the siege of the city in the past few days is also resentful, take these people away, it is better to let these signing troops stay in the local area, contain the defenders in Suzhou City, so that they dare not go out of the city." ”
There is another sentence he didn't say, that is, now that he looks at the situation is not good, he actually ran away with the big guy. Now what he hopes is that the cavalry left outside Suzhou City can deceive the signing army outside the city, and also hopes that the Song army can be deceived by him, this period of time, he was intercepted by a Song army team, and there are Song army heavy troops in front of him to intercept it, grain and grass are frequently robbed, and the southward strategy has failed, but if he wants to get out safely, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, he can only deliberately attack Suzhou City for days, in fact, in order to cover up secretly He sneaked away most of the cavalry troops.
Now that the large army should have jumped out of the encirclement of the Song army, they should also go, as for the signing army, they can only stay here to block the Song army.
It's just that at this time, the Tartar coach is a little aggrieved in his heart, thinking that he has been fighting for many years, where has he ever encountered such a failure? Thinking that they had just destroyed the Jin State, a team of one or two thousand people dared to attack Lin'an, where the emperor Lao'er of the Southern Dynasty was located, and scared the emperor Lao'er to death, but after the emperor Lao'er fell into a coma, the style of the Song army changed greatly, not only the leading generals were brave and good at fighting, but the policy of the Southern Dynasty also changed in style, less cowardly and timid, and a few more iron-blooded and capable, just this year's offensive, he has always felt that entering the Song realm was too smooth, until near Suzhou City, he suddenly found that he was surrounded by the Song army, The generals of the Song army were willing to give up more than a dozen cities on the border and played a big game of chess...... Hehe, however, this Song people are smart, I'm afraid they don't know that most of the people they surround have already escaped, right?
Thinking of his own strategizing in the past few days, so that the Song army pounced, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, as long as the team that escaped this time returned to the north safely, just the finances of this robbery, this southern expedition, his credit has already been received!
The depression in his heart dissipated, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Sons, let's go and go home!" “
As he spoke, he rode his horse and merged into the team below, and the generals behind him hurriedly followed.
On another hillside not far from them, Yue Yun looked at the Tartar army in front of him with a cold face, and Niu Gao, the deputy general who was temporarily transferred over this time, approached Yue Yun and said excitedly, "Little general, these Tartars are not prepared, we might as well rush at them by surprise,"
Yue Yun glanced at the big black man beside him, although this guy is a Song person, but his height and appearance, he is more like a foreign race than the former Jin and Liao people, not only is he brave, but also his riding skills are also first-class.
Yue Yun smiled, and said helplessly, "General Niu, what you said is right, now let's rush out, the Tartars are not prepared, they will definitely be scattered by us, but at the moment, our infantry army has not yet rushed over, these Tartars have been scattered, we are afraid that it will be difficult to annihilate, so this time I came out, and the envoy repeatedly told us to wait for the infantry army to complete the encirclement and the formation is making an impact, the military order is like a mountain, and now we can only let these Tartars stumble for a while."
Niu Gao smiled, "The envoy and the little general are very considerate, but I am a rough person, I only care about killing and having fun, and my thinking is a little wrong." “
"Report, little general, the Lord of the Cao Army and the Lord of the Song Army are already in place," at this time, a herald ran to the front in a sweaty manner, and said with his hand.
When Yue Yun heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he moved his body, and there was a crackling sound from the joints on his body. He turned over and got on his horse, "General Niu, let's go kill one!" “
Niu Gao laughed, picked up his mace, stepped on the horse, and waved at the cavalry behind him, "Brothers, go, follow the little general to kill the enemy!" “
The soldiers got on their horses one after another, drew their weapons, Yue Yun looked at the prepared people, signaled the herald to pass the news to the infantry army, and then shouted in a low voice, "Brothers, kill!" ”
The winter in the south is wet and cold, and in the afternoon, the sun finally dispels the humidity and cold, and the Tartars who sit on the back of the horses and hurry are a little drowsy by the warm sun, and the Tartar coach is also a little sleepy on the horses at this time, and he has not had a good rest these days, and now that the things have been completed for the most part, the mood is relaxed, and the sleepiness is becoming more and more intense. At this moment, he really wanted to stop the team and find a sunny place to sleep, but reason told him that it was not yet time to relax.
He cheered himself up, glanced around, but his brows couldn't help frowning, now this terrain is a rare open place in the south, this was originally farmland, but days of war, so that the rice fields have long been stepped on white ground, this has become a good place for cavalry warfare, he inexplicably began to worry in his heart, and hurriedly called the guards, "Come on, have the scouts reported anything unusual?" ”
The guards hurriedly stepped forward, "Half an hour ago, the scout reported that there was no abnormality. ”
"Half an hour? Didn't I let the scouts return once in a quarter of an hour? If the cavalry of the Song army is allowed to sneak attack, what is it good? The Tartar boss frowned. After speaking, he couldn't help but smile, what was he worried about, where could the Song army have cavalry to use?
But as soon as he had this thought, he heard a dull sound of horses' hooves, and he looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a fiery red cavalry, like a red sea, galloping towards them!
