Ma Yi is lost, if Xiao Jin, as the supreme general of Shuozhou, is calm and has no reaction at all, then not to mention how to explain to the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang, even his generals and soldiers can't be convinced. What's more, last night, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Jin soldiers in Mayi, nearly 10,000 horses in the two battalions were put on guard all night, and they were all so cold that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they were full of complaints.

In the afternoon of the next day, when the weather was a little better, Xiao Jin brought eight thousand iron horsemen over to tentatively attack Xiamayi. On the one hand, it vented the grievances in the army, and let these sergeants know how unfavorable it is to fight in the snow; On the other hand, he didn't believe that Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin would be so negligent in taking precautions, there must be a conspiracy here, so he set a two-step measure, he brought 8ooo people over first, if the situation was not right, then Shuozhou City would immediately send 1oooo people as backup. This temptation really proved the calculation in Xiao Jin's heart. Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin wanted to lure themselves to attack Mayi, in this kind of weather, it is easy to defend and not easy to attack, if they take two hours under the city of Mayi, their hands and feet are frozen and numb, and the ambush soldiers come from the Snake Valley, and they are attacked successively, and they are bound to be defeated. Waiting for the snow to melt and the weather to be clear, you are bound to win, why do you need to put yourself in danger and fight with the Jin soldiers? In this case, if you hurt 1,000 enemies, you may not lose more than 1,000 yourself. Therefore, when he saw through the intention of the Jin soldiers, he ordered a retreat, instead of calculating it.

On the city of Mayi, Guo Rong and the others looked at the Khitan army in the distance with a smile, turned their heads to this Wang Pu and said, "Mr. Wenbo, Xiao Jin should think that he has guessed our minds this time." ”

Wang Pu glanced at Shuozhou meaningfully, shook his head and said: "Last night's calm night removed his two points of vigilance, and today's temptation under the city of Mayi has removed his six points of hesitation. He would not have sent troops easily until the weather improved, but this man was familiar with the art of war and was cautious, and he was probably still a little cautious now. ”

The Khitan people were very powerful just now, but they were forced to retreat because of the situation, how could it be a temptation? Shi Shouxin asked a little puzzled, "Temptation? No way. ”

Zhao Kuangyin on the side smiled and said: "If you are Xiao Jin, you have 2oooo soldiers and horses, and now you want to attack Mayi, how many men and horses will you bring?" ”

"Of course, the more the merrier." Shi Shouxin opened his mouth and said with a smile. After a while, he suddenly patted his head and said hatefully: "He**, this old Wang Ba is really cunning enough." ”

Zhao Kuangyin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Although there were many Khitan troops in the city just now, they were only seven or eight thousand. If Xiao Jin is attacking the city, how can he only bring such a few soldiers and horses, his intention must be to suspect what tricks we are playing, and he can't help but run to take a look for himself. ”

Zhao Kuangyin changed his breath and said in a cold voice: "It's a pity that he made the wrong idea." This feint just now, as Mr. Wen Bo said, this Xiao Jin is at most suspicious, but the vigilance may not be eliminated for a while. However, the sergeants under his command are estimated to be completely relaxed after going back this time. ”

Wang Pu's eyes flashed when he looked at Shuozhou, he didn't look back, but he was stunned and listened attentively to Zhao Kuangyin's words. And Guo Rong on the side was a little puzzled and glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, what this had to do with the Khitan sergeant.

"Last night, Shuozhou was also brilliantly lit, but it must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the Khitan army must be on strict alert, the wind and snow are strong, and the group of sergeants must have been frozen to complain, but after all, they are on the city tower, and they must not be able to experience the pain of marching in the snow, but today Xiao Jin unexpectedly took them to experience a difficult march in the snow. After these sergeants return to Shuozhou, they will inevitably let their guard down, thinking that even if we dare to attack, we will not attack in the ice and snow. In this way, Shuozhou City was really loosened. ”

Guo Rong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then should we send troops tonight and attack Shuozhou at night to give Xiao Jin a New Year's surprise." ”

Wang Pu turned around, waved his hand, and said, "General Guo, tonight is not the best time to give gifts... ”

The night of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year passed in silence again.

Then Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

This night, the sky is not beautiful, the heavy snow that stopped for a day, and it fell scattered again, the whistling north wind sandwiched the snowflakes, and the face hurt and had a feeling of being torn, and the wind was so urgent that people couldn't even breathe.

Every household in Shuozhou City hangs the tower, but the north city tower of Shuozhou is a cloud of darkness, out of the city gate, the big red lanterns hanging high are blown to the side, emitting flickering red light, and the torches originally used to illuminate the guard have all been extinguished. Mixed with the whirring wind was the "crunching" of lanterns. The snow was falling, the north wind was howling, the weather was freezing, and the sergeants who were keeping vigil had long been hiding.

On the arrow tower of the north gate, someone had just opened the wind viewing outlet, and a cold current was blowing straight ahead, and the flames of the torches swelled sharply, and then swayed. Several Khitan sergeants who were drinking and chatting in the arrow tower couldn't help but shiver immediately.

An old sergeant couldn't help but scold: "Yeluqing, what are you doing, hurry up and close it, it's freezing to death." ”

The young man named Ye Luqing smiled shyly and said, "Brother Xiao, didn't the handsome make us vigilant?" Now there is no one on the city tower, and we don't observe and observe on the arrow tower, in case the Jin army attacks, then it can... “

"me, didn't our front camp guard the tower all night the day before yesterday? That's still a rotational shift, well, we stood outside for an hour, and we almost didn't turn into popsicles. Do you think he is an iron man? He ran from Mayi to Shuozhou, and it is strange that he did not freeze to death. Close it quickly. Don't look at it. As soon as the words fell, the rest of the Khitans in the city tower also nodded again and again.

"But..." Ye Luqing seems to be an obedient good boy, that Brother Xiao has said this, and he is still insisting.

"Don't, just watch. Lao Tzu has fought more battles than you, don't be like Lao Tzu and you don't understand anything. If you want to talk about a sneak attack, you can take it by surprise the day before yesterday, and last night was also a good time, and it was not windy or snowy. Today, you look at the weather outside. Don't glare at me, boy. Fuck, of course you don't think it's anything to stay in the arrow tower, you think yesterday afternoon, we rode to the horse and froze like a bear. Put a hundred hearts. In this weather, the Jin soldiers will come, so it's called a ghost. They're coming, I'm heading ... ”

Before he finished speaking, Yeluqing suddenly shouted: "Oh, Brother Xiao, it's not good, you see the lantern at the gate of the city is extinguished." ”

Ye Luqing's voice suddenly raised an octave, which startled that Brother Xiao, he hurriedly jumped up and ran to the wind viewing mouth, a strong wind blew, he squinted his eyes and looked outside, it was dark outside the city, and the lantern was really extinguished. I listened carefully and heard the sound of the whirring wind, which was the creaking of lanterns. He "banged", closed the air outlet, and then slapped the back of Yeluqing's head hard, and said, "Stupid, I'm shocked." The lantern was blown by the wind and then blown out. The rest of the crowd burst into laughter.

Wang Xian, who was a mile away from the north gate of Shuozhou, with 2ooo infantry, was looking at the north gate of Shuozhou, and as soon as the lantern was extinguished, he couldn't help but praise secretly: "Huailiang's archery is really worthy of its reputation." ”

Wang Zhen waved his hand, and the Jin soldiers in white who had been waiting for his order for a long time opened the small wine jug he carried with him, drank two sips, warmed his body, and secretly touched the north gate of Shuozhou with siege equipment such as ladders.

It was a north wind, and they were facing away from it, and not only did they breathe well, but they also followed the wind, going faster and faster. Yesterday afternoon, the weather was slightly warm, the snow on the surface melted some, but I couldn't bear the cold of the night, and I froze again, and stepped on it, although the heavy snow ended the shoes, but it was actually frozen hard, but it was better than yesterday. The whirring wind just drowned out the "crunching" footsteps.

After a short time, these Jin soldiers came to the city of Shuozhou, they quickly set up a ladder, and climbed the city wall along the ladder. Wang Xian was the first to go to the city wall, there was no one on it, but there was fire and noise from the arrow towers on both sides, he waved his hand, let Gao Huailiang who had climbed the city tower lead people, go down from the female wall, go straight to the city gate hole, kill the Khitan people who retreated to guard the gate, and open the city gate; And he led a few people to rush to the arrow tower. Take down the arrow tower, set a fire, and tell the cavalry that slowly follows to start charging, as long as the cavalry is allowed to rush into the city, Shuozhou will be under control.

"Stand, who are you!"

Just when Wang Zhen was about to touch the arrow tower on the left, a voice suddenly came out of the arrow tower.

At this time, Wang Zhen naturally didn't have to pretend anymore, he laughed, ran two steps and kicked open the door, and killed him with a gun. The Khitan people inside were drinking and chatting, and when they heard Yeluqing, who had just secretly opened the west side to watch the wind, suddenly drink like this, everyone didn't understand what was going on? I saw that the door was opened with a kick, and then a person broke in, and with a spear, it pierced the throat of that Brother Xiao...

At the same time as the arrow tower was full of flames, Gao Huailiang and others killed the Khitan soldiers guarding the gate, opened the city gate, and the infantry outside the gate swarmed in under the leadership of Shi Shouxin. The Jin soldiers were killed by leeward, but the Khitan army was resisted by the wind, and a gust of north wind blew the Khitan people to choke, how could they have the strength to fight. And not far outside the city, "pop", the crisp sound of the horsewhip sounded, and the cavalry arrived immediately.

After the infantry entered the city, the soldiers went straight to Xiao Jin's mansion in two ways, and ran all the way to the Khitan military camp. As they ran, they knocked over the kerosene lanterns hanging along the street, and suddenly, the flames were everywhere, and although some of them were extinguished by the snow, some of them took advantage of the wind to crackle the doors and windows, but they burned more and more. Some people also shouted: "The Khitan army has been defeated and is going to set fire to the city." ”

"Dashuai, Dashuai, no, the Jin soldiers are rushing into the city." A guard broke into Xiao Jin's mansion in disregard of etiquette.

Xiao Jin woke up from his sleep, and suddenly got up, he put on his coat, dragged his shoes, and ran out of the bedroom, and saw fires everywhere in Beicheng, and the northeast corner was even more ablaze. The hay field was also burned? Cries, cries for help, and fighting were heard.

Ignoring the cold, he grabbed the guard who reported the news, and asked urgently: "How many Jin soldiers came, how did they enter the city, didn't they send five teams of the front battalion to guard the city tonight?" Do they all eat? ”

Seeing Xiao Jin, who had always been elegant, his face was hideous, and the guard turned pale and stammered: "Handsome... This... He shivered, not knowing whether he was cold or frightened.

Xiao Jin didn't know what to ask, he was angry in his heart, and kicked him to the ground...

At the empty north gate, a cavalry rushed in, for Zhao Kuangyin, holding up a silver spear, shouted: "Follow me to Xicheng, we will kill all the Khitan dogs tonight!" ”

"Obey the general's order !!" The whole army shouted together, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

。。。

On the last night of the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Guo Rong led his troops to break through Shuozhou in white clothes and snowy nights, killing and burning more than 15,000 Khitan soldiers. The name of the "White Army" has since shocked China.

This war showed the combat effectiveness of the Hedong army and shocked the Great Jin Dynasty, which was intent on cutting down the feudal domain and was ready to move. On the other hand, it also invisibly warned the Khitan, you can fight the Great Jin Dynasty, but don't fight my idea of Hedong,

In order to prevent the Khitan from expanding its attack on Hedong, the focus of the Khitan attack on the Central Plains was shifted. The next day, Guo Rong led his subordinates and the people who were willing to return south, and abandoned the city and returned to Snake Valley County. On the way back to the east, he said to Zhao Kuangyin, who was still unsatisfied: "Eighth brother, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, sooner or later, one day, we will recapture it with our own hands!" Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Guo Rong and nodded heavily, looking down on the Shi Dynasty in his heart, the sixteen states of Yanyun are dangerous, they are the gateway to the Central Plains, if they don't take it back, they will harm their descendants.

==========

The first year of the Great Jin Dynasty was a year for historians to study repeatedly. In this year, the Great Jin and the Khitan lost peace, and hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops went south to fight to the death with the Great Jin in Qicheng. In this year, the civil strife in Fujian and China intensified, and Li Tang finally sent troops to show his military strength to the world. In this year, the two big countries in the south of the Yangtze River officially married and reconciled. In this year, Jingnan failed to harvest, returned to the state and rebelled, and Nanping, which had been established for more than 30 years, was broken by the Chu army. But this is not the most important, the important thing is that in this year, the two feudal military groups in the north and the south that determine the future trend of China have begun to take shape, the south is dependent on the king of Chu, with Ma Yun as the Jingnan group, and the north has formed a Daizhou group attached to Guo Wei, with Guo Rongwei, Zhao Kuangyin, and Wang Pu as the right and left hands.

They are like seeds buried deep in the ground, but with strong vitality, waiting for the arrival of spring. And spring is coming.
