After Jia Ke and the others finished observing the city, they went down to the city and returned to Qianhu Mansion to discuss with everyone the strategy of breaking the enemy.

Everyone was silent and had no solution. Huang Baifeng saw that everyone had nothing to say, so he took a step forward and replied to Jia Ke: "The enemy is outnumbered, and it may be disadvantageous to go to war, not to mention that the enemy has many cavalry and is good at field warfare, I am afraid that this time the field battle may not be victorious, it is better to rely on the castle to hold on." When the enemy loses his sharpness and runs out of food and grass, he will inevitably retreat. ”

If you do what he says, although you can't win, there is a chance that Kaipingwei will be able to hold it.

But Jia Ke was not satisfied with this conservative battle plan. He said to the people, "Now the enemy has come against me, but it is an expedition of laborers. But its speed is brave and morale is booming. I thought we would be able to defeat us and capture Kaipingwei. If we just hold on to the fortified city, our morale will be low. The number of people is at a disadvantage again, although Kaipingwei is strong, but after all, it is a small city, and I am afraid that it will not be able to last long. ”

Huang Baifeng asked: "So in the opinion of a thousand households, what should we do?" ”

Jia Ke said excitedly: "The Tatars think that they will definitely be able to defeat us, but we will do the opposite, tomorrow's battle, meet the enemy, our army will go all out to defeat it, destroy the enemy's morale, so that the people of Kaiping will be stable, morale will be high, and then defend the city will be worry-free." What do you think? ”

When everyone heard that Jia Ke was going to fight against the Tatars, they were all frightened, and they all said that they couldn't, since the founding of the country, the field battles with the enemies of the steppe, were more defeated than victorious, if this battle could not be won, I was afraid that Kaiping Wei would not be able to protect at that time, so they advised together.

Jia Ke was furious when he heard their words, and said: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, you don't know how to judge the situation, you only know how to stick to the rules, then tomorrow you wait in the city, and I will go alone to break the enemy." ”

When he heard Jia Ke say this, he was ashamed, Feng Mo rushed out and said to Jia Ke: "The adults are desperate, how can I be like this, tomorrow I will fight with the adults." ”

Jia Ke was overjoyed and said: "With Feng Mo helping me, something big will definitely happen tomorrow." ”

When all the hundreds of households saw Jia Ke and Yi Feng Mo, they all had the courage to fight, and their courage began to rise. All said that since the adults of the thousand households are not afraid, why are they afraid of death. If you go to war tomorrow, you will definitely live and die with the Lord of a thousand households.

Jia Ke saw that everyone agreed to fight, so he ordered that tomorrow he and Feng Mo would lead all Kaipingwei to fight the Tatars and try to defeat the Tatars and frustrate their spirits. And Huang Baifeng summoned all the young and strong people in Kaiping Wei to defend the city.

Press Kaipingwei's side to decide not to mention tomorrow's battle.

Speaking of the Tatar side, this time the leader of the troops who came to Kaiping was the leader of the Tumer tribe, Sobud, who was a supporter of the new Great Khan of the Tatars, and he was the main instigator of this southern invasion. All because of the previous Great Khan, although he also often harassed the borders. But because of the relationship with the Southern Dynasties. Large-scale invasions are rare. Although there was less bloodshed and sacrifice on the steppe, it violated the interests of the great nobles and tribal chiefs. This time, the new Great Khan succeeded to the throne, young and vigorous, and eager to consolidate his power, so he listened to his opinion and went south to plunder the Southern Dynasty this year.

Sobud has long been greedy for the wealth and beauties of the Southern Dynasty, and he is the most active in going south this time, and the Tumo Department where he is located is the majority of the grassland, with a population of 50,000 people, among which there are more than 20,000 people if all the people who control the strings are gathered, but this time only 6,000 cavalry brought are all the elite of the tribe. is ready to take advantage of this southern invasion to make a big profit.

But things were not as good as they should be, and Sobud was assigned this time to conquer Kaipingwei, which made him very dissatisfied. Because Kaipingwei is a hard bone, the city is high and the walls are thick, even if it is captured, it will lose a lot.

But this time, the Great Khan ordered that all parts of the country attack, so that the Southern Dynasty could not take care of each other, so that the Kaiping Guard would not have much support, and the Great Khan also decided that the plundered property this time only had three layers of royal court, and all the rest belonged to the tribes.

And Kaipingwei in the south, a horse and a flat river, densely populated, there are no more strong fortresses. Although it is a hard bone, but if you bite him, there will be large pieces of fat behind him.

When the time comes, with his cavalry, he will come and go like the wind. When the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty arrived, he had already grabbed enough, and when the time came, he would slowly return north with the stolen grain and grass population, and it would be no big deal. So he agreed, attacking Kaipingwei.

But he is also cautious, thinking that the people of the Southern Dynasties will definitely not be able to defeat him in the field. There are only two ways to win. One is to sneak attack at night, and the other is to defend the fortified city.

The most important thing now is to prevent the sneak attack of the Southern Koreans. Then let the soldiers recuperate, rest for the night, and attack the city tomorrow.

In order to prevent a sneak attack by the Southern Dynasties, he ordered more secret sentry posts to be set up around the camp, scout horses and rangers, and patrols around the clock, and the entire camp was heavily guarded. Don't leave a little space for the people of the Southern Dynasties.

Before going to bed, Sobud made his rounds around the camp. Seeing that there are no flaws, I can sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Sobud ordered his troops to eat early and prepare for the siege. He didn't think that the people of the Southern Dynasty would go out of the city to fight him in the field.

Let's talk about Kaiping Wei, the sky just brightened. Jia Ke got up, and today he was fully armed. Wearing a phoenix-winged purple and gold crown, wearing a treasure phase unicorn bright light armor, stepping on the clouds. Behind him is a fiery red cape. The whole body is majestic and awe-inspiring.

Jia Keding went out of the gate of Qianhu Mansion with his helmet and crown armor, and Liu Yu had already led the fire dragon horse at the gate, and asked the two soldiers to carry Fang Tian's halberd and wait beside him.

Jia Ke walked out of the gate, took the reins of the fire dragon horse from Liu Yu's hand, turned over on his horse, took Fang Tian's halberd with his left hand, and led his own army straight to the city gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw that the hundred households had been prepared. The warriors were all dressed in paper armor, each holding a weapon, and all of them were ready, just waiting for Jia Ke's arrival.

Seeing Jia Ke coming, Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng led hundreds of households to come forward to salute, and Jia Ke didn't have any nonsense now. Directly asked Huang Baifeng: "Has the youth in the city been organized?" Can you participate in the defense of the city? ”

Huang Baifeng clenched his fists and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, all the essences in the city have arrived at the head of the city, and they can help defend the city at any time." ”

Jia Ke then said to him: "You are old and serious, I will take Feng Mo to fight in a while, and you are responsible for refusing to defend in the city." ”

Huang Baifeng clenched his fists and said, "Obey the orders of the adults." Then he said goodbye to Jia Ke and went directly to the city to refuse.

Jia Ke saw that Huang Baifeng had already gone to the city, and said to Feng Mo: "Open the city gate, and everyone will go out of the city to fight the Tatars with me." ”

With Jia Ke's order, the city gate of Kaipingwei slowly opened, Jia Ke took the lead out of the city gate, and then the soldiers of Kaipingwei rushed out of the city gate. Jia Ke led the army out of the city gate, and the city gate was immediately closed.

Jia Ke ordered the entire army to set up a position one mile outside the city gate. According to the previous rehearsal, the archers were in front, and in the Macedonian phalanx, the cavalry was divided into two divisions, one on the flank and one behind the Macedonian phalanx.

Jia Ke saw that the formation had been arranged, so he ordered Feng Mo to suppress the formation instead of himself, and he rode the fire dragon horse to the front of the formation, and asked people to go and call the formation.

Sobud was in the camp, preparing to lead his team out of the camp to attack Kaipingwei, when suddenly a pawn came to report.

"Leader Qiyu, the Nanban general led the army to line up outside, and he was scolding in front of the battle, asking the leader to go and meet him."

When Sobud heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was overjoyed, did this general of the Southern Barbarians take crazy medicine. There are many good cities, and they dare to go out of the city to fight field battles. If it is wiped out in one fell swoop, how much effort will be saved, and how many tribal warriors will be killed.

So Sobud gave an order, opened the gate of the wall, and all set out to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Dynasties.

Not long after Jia Ke waited in front of the battle, he saw the Tatar fortress gate wide open, and countless cavalry swarmed out with majestic momentum, and the mountains roared like a tsunami to Jia Ke's two miles away, pressing down on the formation.
