Breakthrough
The light of the fire in the dark night not only attracted the attention of the Jin army, but also the heavily surrounded Bingzhou army.
It has been a full fifteen days since they were surrounded in ambush, and they have cut off all contact with the outside world, if it weren't for Wanyan Zongbi's plan to send reinforcements to his encirclement point, he didn't want this army to be destroyed soon, and deliberately left them some food and grass in the camp, but I am afraid that this army would have already collapsed.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on, what's wrong?" Zhang Bofen strode up to the camp wall and asked the surrounding soldiers.
"Bofen, look over there!"
Zhao Yun pointed to the area of Luoxing Valley and said, "There seems to be a fire over there, as far as I can see, it should be our army attacking the camp of the Jurchens!" ”
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! ”
"We're saved!"
"Great, I knew that the brothers outside would not let us go!"
……
The surrounding soldiers wept with joy after hearing Zhao Yun's words, what people were most afraid of was the unknown danger, being surrounded for more than ten days had made their spirits on the verge of collapse, and at this moment they heard that reinforcements were coming, and they all cheered.
"Great, Brother Zhao, brother, now we are saved!" Zhang Zhongxiong also stepped forward from behind with an excited face, looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Bofen and said.
Zhao Yun stared at the front for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong: "Bofen, Zhongxiong, morale is available at the moment, I suggest taking this opportunity to immediately break through to the north and join the reinforcements!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong were stunned when they heard this, and said, "General Zhao, the reinforcements are still some distance away at this moment, is it too early to break through at this time?"
Wouldn't it be better to wait a day or two longer, and wait for the reinforcements to kill us before breaking through? ”
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Two generals, there are more than 50,000 Jurchen troops surrounding us outside, if we wait for reinforcements to kill and then break through, it will definitely be a bloody battle at that time."
Now that the main force of our state is in the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion, we have limited troops and horses in Youzhou, and we should focus on preserving our strength at the moment.
Moreover, Allah is not a fool, even if our reinforcements arrive, he will inevitably send troops to intercept it, and then increase the siege.
And our army is approaching food and grass at the moment, and if it is delayed for a few more days, I am afraid that there will be changes again.
The two generals, if we want to break out of the encirclement, the key is to rely on ourselves! ”
"Yes, what Brother Zhao said is right!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhongxiong and Zhang Bofen nodded and said, "In this case, then we will go and gather troops!" ”
In the thick of the night, more than 8,000 soldiers and soldiers of Bingzhou have been gathered together in full clothes, and they have been surrounded for many days and almost tortured them to collapse.
"Brothers!"
With a shout, Zhao Yun rode out of the column, standing tall in front of the formation, and his eyes swept over every soldier in front of him.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said loudly: "I think everyone also knows that our army reinforcements have arrived.
But at the same time I would like to tell you the bad news that our army has run out of food and grass, and if the general expects it to be good, tomorrow the Turks will launch the most fierce attack on us.
The Jurchens are brutal, and I think everyone knows what kind of fate will happen if they fall into their hands.
You say, 'What should we do now?' ”
"Fight, fight with the Jurchens!"
More than 8,000 state troops shouted for a while.
"Okay, all the soldiers, this general and the two generals Zhang discussed and decided, break through tonight, life and death are at this moment!"
Zhao Yun raised the spear in his hand and roared sharply: "Brothers, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
More than 8,000 soldiers and soldiers shouted frantically, taking advantage of the cover of night to rush out of the camp gate.
……
After Yan Zongbi ordered a general attack to be launched tomorrow, after the generals returned to the camp, they naturally ordered their subordinates to rest in peace and recuperate.
The Jurchens were originally nomadic people, good at field warfare but not good at attacking fortifications, and after trapping the Bingzhou army, they didn't even know how to dig a few trenches outside the camp to stop the cavalry of the Bingzhou army, so they were easily broken through the defense line by the Bingzhou army and killed into the camp.
