Chapter 11: The Night Attack of the Jin Army

Wan Yanchang was the most moderate figure among the people present, and at this time he cleared his throat and said: "General, the casualties have been counted, our army has lost more than 5,000 people, seriously injured more than 5,000 people, and the lightly injured are not counted. ”

After a pause, he wanted to say something, but when he saw the fire-breathing eyes of several people next to him, he finally shook his head and did not continue.

"Ahh Wanyan Zongbi slapped the table, and said with some annoyance: "I'm really angry, the Song army dares to hurt so many of my soldiers, general, give an order, we will attack Bianjing City at night tonight." ”

The night attack is a test for every soldier, not only physically, but also psychologically, after all, the bloody scene in the morning has left an indelible shadow in everyone's heart, and in this situation of blind fire in the black light, the invisible huge arrows will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Zongwang's brows furrowed tightly.

"General, what are you hesitating about? Could it be that more than 10,000 of our soldiers were killed and injured in vain? Wan Yan Zongbi said angrily.

"I'm afraid that Song Jun has already thought that we will attack at night, and will be prepared, in that case, even if we launch a night attack, we will not be able to get any benefits." Wan Yanchang said.

"Hmph, that group of incompetent Song troops, relying entirely on the help of this giant crossbow, we launched an attack at night, they can't see our figure, so the giant crossbow will lose its role, with that group of incompetent Song army alone, only need to give me 20,000 people, I promise to break the gate of Bianjing." Wanyan Zongbi said with an oath.

What I thought would be easy to accomplish is now stuck in a bottleneck.

"What is the way for the generals to crack the giant crossbow?" Wanyan Zongwang didn't give an order lightly, and asked instead.

Many Jin troops looked at each other.

The Jin Kingdom, that is, the tribe established by the Jurchens, had not been in existence for a long time, and they knew very little about these advanced manufacturing processes, and at this time, in the face of such a powerful war weapon, they were in a dilemma for a while.

"The power of this giant crossbow is huge, and it is really not enough for manpower to resist it." Wan Yan Lou also said with a heavy face at this time.

Everyone couldn't help but fall silent.

Wanyan Zongbi pursed his lips and said, "Could it be that my dignified golden iron rider is about to be stumped by a small giant crossbow?" ”

"The fourth prince don't worry, it's not that I don't want to break through this Bianjing City as soon as possible, it's really hard to break the city now." Wanyan Xiyin persuaded him.

"Since there is no countermeasure, then it is better to follow the countermeasure I said, tonight I will take 20,000 elite troops, take advantage of the darkness to kill, as long as one person rushes up, as long as this giant crossbow is destroyed, the Song army will have nothing to rely on, and it will be easy to break the city at that time." Wanyan Zongbi said.

After Yan Zongbi finished speaking, everyone was silent and did not speak.

Wanyan Zongbi was anxious and said, "You all have a word?" Okay? ”

Wan Yanchang thought for a while and said: "I think this matter is inappropriate, the key to the success of the night attack is to succeed without the Song army knowing, but now that the new king of the Song Dynasty has just been established, his style of action is very different from that of the old emperor, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be prepared for the night attack." ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongbi became anxious and said: "The question now is not whether the Song army knows that we will attack at night, but that there is no way to avoid this crossbow, and we can only minimize the casualties with the help of the cover of the night, if you don't agree to the night attack, do you have any better way?" ”

Wan Yanchang didn't answer, in this case, he really didn't have any good way.

"I think it's better to wait for the Western Road army led by Yan Zonghan to arrive, and then make plans." Wan Yan Lou said at this time.

"Wait for him?" Wanyan Zongbi heard what Wanyan Lou said, and he couldn't help but say angrily at this time: "Hmph, if it weren't for Wanyan Zonghan dragging his feet, now the east and west armies have become a force to encircle Bianjing, and this Bianjing City would have been broken a long time ago." ”

Speaking of Wanyan Zonghan, all the generals have a lot of complaints.

"My East Road army has been killing all the way, and the momentum is like a bamboo, but the West Road army led by Wan Yan Zonghan has been missing for a long time, I really don't know what Wan Yan Zonghan is procrastinating?" Wanyan Xiyin also pouted and said.

"The Western Route Army was intercepted by the Song generals in Shaanxi, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to come in a short time, and it is estimated that we still need to find a way to this Bianjing City." Wanyan Zongwang said lightly.

When marching and fighting, the breaking thing is that their teammates did not reach the designated position, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you are not careful, you may lose everything, no wonder these people have such complaints.

"We can't completely pin our hopes on Wanyan Zonghan at this time, if Wanyan Zonghan has been stuck by Song Jun, will we have to spend it here all the time?" Wanyan Zongbi asked rhetorically, "And as far as I know, now that all parts of the Song Dynasty have responded to King Qin, if we can't break through Bianjing City for a long time, and then we will be attacked by the Song army from inside and outside, it will be troublesome." ”

Hearing what Wan Yan Zongbi said, everyone was silent, and it was obvious that the situation that Wan Yan Zongbi said did exist.

"Okay, according to your opinion, Wanyan Zongbi listened to the order and ordered you to be the general of the raid, and tonight he led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack from the north gate and break through Bianjing." Wanyan Zongwang ordered.

"The last general commands." Wanyan Zongbi was haunted by the failure just now, feeling that this was a great shame in his leading career, and now he urgently needed a chance to wash away his shame.

There was a brief lull outside Bianjing, and the two sides made their own arrangements, but they were all safe, like the calm before the storm.

As soon as the time passed, Wanyan Zongbi quietly led an army of 20,000 from the north gate towards Bianjing City.

But before Yan Zongbi arrived near the north gate, he saw a huge brazier lit on the wall of the north city from a distance, and a huge copper mirror was erected behind the brazier, and the bronze mirror reflected the bright light of the brazier burning very clearly on the ground of 100 meters outside the city wall, in this way, it was actually equivalent to lighting a torch around the city wall of Bianjing City.

"General, this Song army is really too cunning, what should we do now?" The deputy general stood next to Wan Yan Zongbi and said with an ugly face.

Wanyan Zongbi was also a little dumbfounded, maybe it was too smooth to kill all the way, so that he looked down on Song Jun psychologically, but this Song Jun completely seemed to have changed his appearance, which made him a little unacceptable for a while.
