Chapter 339: The Power of One Man
Three hundred miles west of Licheng.
Wanyan Zonghan led 60,000 remnants of the defeated army and marched towards Licheng.
After a long-distance attack, the 60,000 golden soldiers had already lost their previous vigor at this time, on the contrary, at this time, their faces were tired, their steps were messy, and the team dragged on for a long time, if you look at it from a bird's eye view, it looks like a long winding dragon.
In such a form, Wanyan Zonghan naturally didn't want to see it, but at this time, he was powerless to change it, after all, at this time, there was still Yue Fei's 100,000 army chasing after him.
"General, the spies are coming to report, and now there are still three hundred miles away from Licheng!" Deputy General Wu Yue came to Yan Zonghan's horse and said softly.
"How far is the Song army from our army?" Wan Yan Zonghan asked.
"The Song army is now less than fifty miles away from our army, and they are in hot pursuit, if we go according to this situation, our army is afraid that it will reach Licheng, and the Song army will catch up." Wu Yue said worriedly.
Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "Yes, but at this time, we may have no other choice than to advance to Licheng, and now these 60,000 troops are not the opponent of the Song army's 100,000 troops at all!" ”
Wu Yue nodded, and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "Now that the army's morale is weak, we urgently need a big victory, so that we can boost our morale!" ”
Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said: "Entering the city, the city wall is tall, the Song army wants to break through, it is not easy, now the weather has become more and more cold, the Song army is all southerners, and they can't adapt to the cold in the north at all, as long as it snows heavily, the crisis of our army will be lifted!" ”
Wu Yue nodded, and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "I just hope that this way to Licheng will not make any mistakes." ”
Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said: "The defenders of Licheng are only more than 10,000 people, and when our army went south, they have surrendered, and the current generals of the Licheng defenders have already surrendered to my Dajin, and the order will go down, so that the soldiers can cheer up, as long as they reach Licheng City, we will be safe." ”
Wanyan Zonghan's move, it should be said that it was like Cao Cao's Wangmei quenching his thirst during the Three Kingdoms period, he wanted to paint such a scene for everyone, and then let everyone be able to boost their morale and hurry as soon as possible, after all, the pursuers of the Song army were still chasing after him.
Fifty miles away, was the vanguard of the Song army.
Yue Fei took the lead and walked at the front of the team.
"General, the horses of the Jin army are fast, our army has been running for a long time, and it is still fifty miles away from the Jin army." At this time, Gao Pet rode his horse to Yue Fei's horse and said softly.
Yue Fei frowned and said to Gao Chong: "Now there are still more than three hundred miles away from Licheng, if our army can't intercept them before the Jin army arrives at Licheng, then the desire to keep them in Shandong will be in vain." ”
Gao Chong nodded and said to Yue Fei: "I'll go and urge the soldiers again, let them hurry up!" ”
The distance of three hundred miles is not very far, and the Jin army's footsteps are fast, and it is estimated that it can be reached in two days at most, and at that time, such a long-distance attack will be meaningless.
Licheng was already considered an enemy-occupied area at this time.
When the Jin army went south, the defenders of Licheng did not make any resistance, and they had already surrendered in Kaicheng, and the current general of the Licheng defenders was called Ji Min, who had become an official of the Dajin Kingdom.
The old city was gloomy, and under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, he didn't seem to have changed much, and the people in the city had gone about their own lives.
On this day, a horse-drawn carriage appeared at the gate of the city gate of Licheng.
"Mr. Hao, we're here!" Li Biao said to the young scholar in the carriage.
It turned out that the person on the carriage was Hao Jingcheng.
Hao Jingcheng had already woken up, he had slept for a day and a night, but at this time he was refreshed, pulled the curtain and poked his head out of the car, and glanced at the city gate in front of him from afar.
The gate of this old city is tall and the city walls are wide, Hao Jingcheng looked at the city wall in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Brother Hao, but what's wrong?" Li Biao asked suspiciously.
Hao Jingcheng shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city." ”
"Where do you go when you enter the city?" Li Biao asked suspiciously.
"Let's go to the restaurant to eat first, we haven't had a good meal after sleeping for so long and driving for so long." Hao Jingcheng said with a smile: "Today I invite everyone to dinner." ”
After saying this, Hao Jingcheng sat back in the carriage again.
Yang Feiyan looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him and said softly: "You came to Licheng alone, do you want to intercept the defeated Jin army through the power of one person?" ”
Hao Jingcheng shook his head and said, "How is it possible, after all, one person is small, how can he stop the 60,000 people of the Jin army." ”
"And what are you trying to do?" Yang Feiyan asked suspiciously.
"All you need to do is close the city gate and stop the Jin army from entering the city!" Hao Jingcheng said with a smile.
"But there are tens of thousands of people in the Jin army, and we only bring these few hundred people, how can we stop them? But don't forget, this is not Langya Ridge, the terrain outside Licheng is open, if the Jin army wants to attack it, it can be driven straight in, even if we have 10,000 people, it is impossible to resist the Jin army, not to mention that we only have a hundred people now. Yang Feiyan shook her head and said.
Hao Jingcheng said with a smile: "This time the matter is simple, we only need to close the city gate and not let the Jin army enter, if you want to come, the Jin army will not forcibly attack the city, so we only need 10,000 people, and it will be enough to resist the Jin army for half a day!" ”
Yang Feiyan looked at Hao Jingcheng suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of what he said.
"Didn't Your Majesty's message already say that General Yue Feiyue of our dynasty is biting tightly behind the Jin army's ass, so the Jin army does not dare to be dragged down by the siege, so we only need to block their pace a little and buy time for the Yue family army behind, and we can do it!" Hao Jingcheng said lightly.
Yang Feiyan frowned and said: "But the current situation, it is impossible for us to close the city gate with hundreds of people, I think there are hundreds of soldiers guarding the city at the south gate alone, and the defenders of this city should be no less than 10,000 people, and the defenders of Licheng have surrendered, and it is impossible for our 200 people to fight against the 10,000 people in the city." ”
Hao Jingcheng nodded and said to Yang Feiyan: "This matter is simple. ”
"Simple?" Yang Feiyan's beautiful eyes stared at Hao Jingcheng, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Did you think of any good plan?" ”。
"Thou shalt not say, thou shalt not say ......"
"Huh? Brother Hao......"
