Chapter 40: The Way of the Planter

On the other side, Zhending, the situation of the army led by the cultivator Dao is much better.

The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as a long-famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, can be said to be prestigious in the hearts of the common people, so when the seed master road arrived in Zhending City, there were actually five righteous troops to defect, so that the army of the seed master road directly increased by 20,000 people, reaching as many as 70,000 people, so that the disadvantage of the Song army and the Jin army in terms of numbers is not very obvious.

On the third day after the Dao of the Seed Master arrived in Zhending, the Jin army came to the city.

Wan Yanchang's lieutenant called for battle under the city and asked the Song army to open the door to meet the battle.

As a battle-hardened veteran, he didn't even go up to the city tower, so he let the Jin army shout outside.

The Jin general shouted outside for more than an hour, what Song Jun was as timid as a mouse, like a girl, all the ugly words were used, but he found that there was not even a person on the city wall who responded to him.

In the end, the Jin general was tired of scolding, and returned to Wan Yanchang's side angrily.

"General, this Song army must have been afraid of our Dajin Iron Cavalry, and they started to shrink their heads, and I even greeted their ancestors and eighteen generations, and they didn't have any reaction." The adjutant general reported to Wan Yan Changyu with a depressed face.

Wan Yan Chang is still the first time to fight with the Seed Master Dao, as a famous general of the Jin State, he doesn't believe that the famous Seed Master Dao of the Song Dynasty will be afraid of the Jin Army, but now the actions of the Seed Master Dao make Wan Yan Chang a little confused.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, the master is cunning and cunning, and now he will not move, he will definitely have a plan." Wan Yanchang rubbed his chin and looked at the Zhending map in front of him, always feeling like he had overlooked something.

"General, no matter what his plans are, in my opinion, we will press the army up, and when he is captured alive, we will ask him what his plans are." The adjutant general said to Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang's heart was a little empty, as a general who had experienced a hundred battles, he had a natural keen perception of danger.

"Okay, according to your opinion, Yelu Yuanyi, I ordered you to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Zhending from the northern city." Wan Yan Chang said to his deputy general Yelu Yuanyi, it was obvious that Wan Yan Chang was tentative in this siege, and he didn't want Wan Yan Zongbi to be so aggressive.

Yelu Yuanyi took the order and left.

In a rush of war drums, the 30,000 army of the Jin army began to attack the city, there is an ancient saying that the Jurchen is not more than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible, which shows the strength of the Jin army, 30,000 troops, like 30,000 tigers coming down the mountain, rushing towards the city of Zhending.

The news of the Jin army's siege soon reached the ears of the seed master Dao, the seed master Dao was already all around at this time, he didn't see the slightest panicked expression on his face, and when he heard the news of the Jin army's siege, he began to order the generals to meet the enemy in an orderly manner.

From a distance, the Jin army looked like little ants, they ran wildly all the way, and in the blink of an eye, they were within the range of the Song army.

"Shoot the arrows!" With the order of the Seed Master, a dense rain of arrows fell in the sky.

"Papapa......" After Yan Chang was not the first time he had fought with the Song army, he had already prepared for the rain of arrows of the Song army, and the Jin army raised the rattan shield in his hand very tacitly, and the arrows shot on the rattan shield, making a crisp sound.

Of course, not all soldiers were spared, but this rattan shield cut off most of the arrows that came at a gallop.

As a result, under the cover of the vine shield, many Jin troops slowly moved towards Zhending City, although the speed was very slow, but the casualties were reduced to a minimum, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the Jin army had arrived at the city, the Planter Dao ordered the generals to release the rolling stones.

As a result, all the archers withdrew, and the infantry defending the city began to throw the rolling stones that had been prepared long ago at the Jin army below the city.

The vine shield can withstand the attack of the arrows, but it can't stop the flying boulders, and soon many Jin soldiers will be recruited, but taking advantage of this kung fu, the Jin army's ladder has also been pushed over.

"Set the oil on fire!" Seeing this, the Seed Master Dao ordered again.

Burning oil is to heat the oil, and setting the oil is to pour the oil down the city wall.

The boiling hot oil poured down, and its power was much greater than that of a rolling stone.

"Ahh My face! ”

"Ahh Scald...... Hot ......"

For a while, the screams were endless.

"Drop the rocket!" However, setting fire oil is not the end, but the beginning of the tragedy, and the planter ordered people to release rockets.

He is worthy of being a veteran general, marching and fighting, not aggressive, but he is fighting step by step, steadily and steadily, and his approach can be called a textbook defensive strategy.

The oil was ignited by a rocket, and soon turned into a sea of fire under the city, and the Jin army, who was drenched in the oil, ran out screaming, trying to escape from this sea of fire, but ignored the power of the oil, and soon became a burning man.

Yelu Yuanyi couldn't bear to see it, and ordered someone to stab these living people to death, which can be regarded as ending the suffering of these people.

The war lasted from noon to night, Wanyan Changming Jin withdrew his troops, although it was only a tentative siege, but the Jin army also paid a heavy price of more than 2,000 casualties, in comparison, the Song army with the city wall as a cover was much better, and the number of casualties was not very many.

The next day, it was still Yelu Yuanyi who went into battle to scold, this time, Yelu Yuanyi also learned smartly, and called a group of soldiers to scold the planter together, in order to provoke the planter, what to say is difficult to hear what they say, but the planter is stunned and pretends not to hear.

However, the Seed Master Dao can pretend not to hear, but the generals under him can't stand it.

Wang Yan, the leader of the Eight-Character Army Righteous Army, took the initiative to ask for his life, and Wang Yan's face was engraved with the words "Serve the country with a naked heart and swear to kill the gold thief", and the name of the Eight-Character Army he led came from this.

"Marshal, please allow the last general to go out of the city to fight, and I will definitely bring you the head of the golden thief." Wang Yan said angrily.

Although the seed master Dao is already over the age of old, his body is still very tough at this time, and he also admires Wang Yan a lot, so he deliberately nodded Wang Yan a few words at this time: "Young man, don't be so angry, just let him scold him, we won't have a piece of meat on our body, but let them increase their liver fire." ”

After all, Wang Yan was young and vigorous, and when he heard what the seed master said, he said a little unwillingly: "Do you just let the gold thief shout outside, saying that we are unplanted men?" I can't swallow that. ”

"The mouth grows on someone else's body, let him say whatever others want to say, we can't control so much." The seed master said indifferently.
