Chapter 1639: A Touch
At the beginning of the rising sun, in the camp of the Luoyan Army in the southwest of Puyang City, Lin Jue and others finally returned in anticipation. Everyone stood in the camp and watched Lin Jue and a few others ride into the camp, and they saw the woman dressed as a Jurchen on a horse, and knew that Dashuai's adventure had succeeded. Everyone was quite emotional.
The news that Lin Dashuai went to save people was originally top secret, but a general leaked it out, making it known to everyone. The soldiers took care of their hearts. It was unwise for Lord Lin to take risks as a boss, but Lord Lin did what he had to do as a man, he had to save his woman, and now it seems that Lord Lin succeeded.
Ma Bin laughed and came to Lin Jue's horse's head, Ti Lin Jue held the reins, and shouted: "Brother, you are back, everyone is worried about death." Our scouts reported that the city of Puyang shouted to kill Zhentian, and everyone was very worried. Only I know that you will succeed. Hahaha, have you rescued your brother and sister? ”
Lin Jue turned over and dismounted with a smile, and everyone behind him also dismounted, Lin Jue introduced Wan Yan Mingyue to Ma Bin, Wan Yan Mingyue was holding the child in her arms, but she still tried her best to salute, and Ma Bin also returned the salute.
"Brother and sister, you really have a big face, Brother Lin is the commander of my Great Zhou soldiers and horses, and he personally took risks to save you, which shows your status in his heart. Brother and sister, you are so blessed, married to the best man in my big Zhou. But you're unlucky enough, but it's the sister of Wanyan Aguda. Ma Bin said loudly.
The generals rolled their eyes and said in their hearts: What are you doing to expose people's scars? Master Ma speaks without regard for people's feelings, which is called what the lady thinks in her heart.
Fortunately, Ma Bin didn't dwell on this topic much, and turned his attention to Lin Juedao: "Brother, look at our camp, we haven't been idle this night, the camp is basically formed." Let's see. ”
Ma Qingshan said on the side: "Master Ma, let the marshal and them rest and rest, they are tired enough to fight all night, how can they let the marshal go to inspect now." ”
Ma Bin patted his head and said, "Ah, yes, look at my brain, I'm too anxious." Yes, yes, Brother Lin and brother and sister, you take a break and eat something. The affairs of the camp are not in a hurry, there is no hurry. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll settle my wife and children and come." Take a break to regain your strength. By the way, Brother Ma, Brother Qingshan, you give the order to go down, stop the construction of the camp, and let everyone rest immediately. The whole army buried the pot to cook, and ate and drank to their heart's content. ”
Ma Bin was stunned and said, "The camp hasn't been completely completed yet, what's the matter?" Wanyan Agu is not coming to attack? Don't need to build a camp anymore? ”
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "On the contrary, they will attack soon." Let the brothers be fed and drunk, and let the people who built the camp last night hurry up and rest and prepare for battle. Within half an hour, all firearms must be in place. ”
Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan and others were awe-inspiring when they heard this, and hurriedly surrendered their promises and immediately issued orders to act.
Lin Jue watched everyone go away, turned around and walked to Wan Yan Mingyue's side, and said softly: "Let's go back to the tent to rest, how is Nian'er?" ”
Wanyan Mingyue reached out and lifted the cloth towel on the face of the child she was holding on her chest, but she saw Lin Nian's little face flushed, and she was sleeping sweetly. When everyone around saw this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Bai Bing said on the side: "It's really worthy of being a general, can you still fall asleep?" This night was full of shouting and shouting, horseback riding and firearms. Thanks to his ability to sleep. He will be an extraordinary man in the future. ”
Wanyan Mingyue was sweet in her heart, and smiled softly at Bai Bing: "Thank you, sister, for the compliment, I just want Nian'er to be safe and sound, and I don't dare to hope for anything else." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Let's go back to the big tent, you look at yourself, all of them are gray and unkempt, don't stand here, clean up and eat something." I'm afraid that your brother is already mobilizing troops to prepare for the attack, how can he suffer such a loss? ”
The smile on Wanyan Mingyue's face immediately retracted, and she sighed softly, she knew that what her husband said was right, and her brother would definitely come to attack. Today will be a bloody battle, and between my brother and my husband, there will be a winner and a loser. I really don't want to see this happen, but I can't stop it.
Lin Jue and the others returned to the big tent to clean up and change clothes, and Lin Jue found that Wanyan Mingyue's chest and abdomen were purple-black, which was the mark of Wanyan Aguda's kick. Such an injury is bound to be extremely painful, but Wanyan Mingyue didn't say a word along the way, and still took care of Lin Nian. When Lin Jue saw it, he felt even more pity in his heart. At that moment, Bai Bing was asked to inspect the wound and found that two ribs were broken, and the injury was serious. Lin Jue was worried, so he asked Bai Bing to give Yan Mingyue medicine, wrap her chest and abdomen, and forced Yan Mingyue to lie in the inner tent to rest and recuperate, and couldn't move anymore, and asked Bai Bing to take good care of her.
In the camp of the Luoyan Army, after the order to prepare for the battle was issued, there was a tense atmosphere in the camp. The tens of thousands of men who had built the camp last night withdrew to the barracks to rest, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses quickly ate breakfast and then began to arrive at their respective positions under the leadership of their respective generals to defend.
Lin Jue simply ate something, and then rode horses with Sun Dayong and others to various camps to inspect the fortifications and defenses. After Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan and others descended and accompanied Lin Jue to gallop around the inside of the camp, Lin Jue's face showed a satisfied smile. After a day and two nights, tens of thousands of people took turns to work, and the camp finally basically reached the shape he had planned. Although it may take a day to fully meet the standards of their own design, it is not easy to do so at present.
The key direction of defense is the position of the camp wall on the northeast side, which is also the position facing the Jurchen army in Puyang City. Thirty swarms of bazooka were scattered in both places at fifty paces apart. In addition, six Shenwei cannons were also erected in these two places. Coupled with the fact that 400 melon throwers and 30,000 archers defended the fortifications above and below the camp walls, manpower and firepower were basically guaranteed. Not to mention the obstacles such as trenches and ground thorns on some terrain outside the camp wall.
Lin Jue was a little worried about the defense of the camp walls on the southwest side, and Lin Jue's judgment was that the attack in these two places should not be too violent, so there was not much manpower and firepower allocated. But this can be a hidden danger. However, according to Lin Jue's plan, the position of the camp walls on the southwest side originally needed to be defended by deep trenches and rejecting horses, but because of the tight time, the blocking measures on the periphery were good, and it could only be said that they were barely qualified. This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, there is not enough time to buy. Lin Jue didn't expect that Wanyan Agu would bring Wanyan Mingyue here as a hostage at all, this was a sudden factor, and Lin Jue couldn't control it. Because of this, the original delay plan could not be implemented, and it is not easy to delay it until now.
Halfway through the hour, news came from the scouts that a large number of Jurchen soldiers and horses were rushing from the direction of Puyang City.
The boots fell to the ground, and the Jurchen army was really about to attack. In the midst of a tense order, all the soldiers and horses were ready, and Ma Qingshan led 40,000 cavalry to mount in the open space in the camp. On the inside of the camp wall, the men and horses who control firearms have long been trained. The crossbowmen above and below the camp wall also mounted their arrows and waited quietly for the other party's arrival.
Lin Jue climbed onto the platform of the tall command tower in the northeast, took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the wilderness in the distance. But on the horizon in the distance, black cavalry and horses were galloping across the wilderness. Like a dark cloud floating on the earth, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the other side pushed forward under black pressure, and everywhere they went, the earth was full of ink.
Soon, the earth began to shake. Thousands of horses came like a huge wave, and the dense cavalry ran on the ground, and the ground rumbled like thunder under the trampling of horses' hooves. The debris of grass and wood trampled by the horse's hooves rises with the dust on the ground, forming a thick cloud of dust under the horse's belly. From a distance, it looked like the opposing soldiers and horses were stepping on dark clouds.
The opposing cavalry slowly stopped a long way from the camp of the Luoyan Army. A cavalry brigade composed of nearly 100,000 cavalry arrived first, and more than 100,000 infantry and horses rushed to the rear.
Wanyan Agu was on his horse, his right arm tightly tied to his body with gauze. In his left hand, he holds a mace. His face was gloomy and urgent, and last night he asked Lin Jue to not only save Wan Yan Mingyue, but also hurt himself. His injuries were extremely serious. At first, he thought that the flesh injury could be recovered, but after returning to Puyang City, the witch doctor in the army found out the seriousness of the problem after examination. The shoulder joint of the entire right arm is covered with steel balls. The bullet was sparse. The joints had been completely shattered, which meant that his entire right arm was no longer healable and could no longer function properly. In fact, it is already crippled.
Wanyan Aguda was both angry and sad. In the past ten years, he has experienced more than 100 battles, large and small, and although he has been injured several times, he has not even missed a finger. But today, he was actually crippled by Lin Jue.
New hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, thinking that he was blocked from going south because of Lin Jue, and now he was crippled by Lin Jue, and Wanyan Agu completely lost his mind. He decided to immediately send troops to attack the Luoyan army, and he wanted to chop Lin Jue into meat sauce with his own hands to eliminate the hatred in his heart. So despite the dissuasion of his men, he decided to launch a full-scale attack.
When more than 100,000 infantry arrived in front of the formation, after a short rest, Wanyan Agu ordered people to blow the horn of attack, and more than 100,000 infantry held shields and lined up in a phalanx and began to move.
The big battle has officially begun at the end of the day!
