Chapter 473: The Golden Vulture Sankou Town was frustrated, and Yue Fei's Daimyo's Mansion was in danger during a night attack
Wanyan Zongbi had also seen the Song Kingdom's fortification equipment before, but he had never seen so many ordnance in a small city.
This is Wanyan Zongbi's first battle in Neihuang, and it is the first time he has led troops to fight since he entered Hebei, and he absolutely cannot accept such a disgraced return.
The reluctance to admit defeat is a characteristic of Wanyan Zongbi's character, which is his strength, but many times it also becomes his shortcoming.
Or even shortcomings that could bring him down.
After the first round of temptations, Wanyan Zongbi ordered the sergeant to build siege equipment.
Unlike later siege weapons that were built in arsenals and transported to the battlefield, ancient siege equipment was basically built on the spot, mainly because of the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, and it was the most economical way to build on the spot, except for precision machinery such as bed crossbows.
There are historical reasons why the forbidden army in Kaifeng became the largest engineering team in the Song Kingdom.
Some of the ancient siege equipment are complex, some are simple, and the simplest is the ladder and the chariot, these two things are complex and can have a lot of defensive equipment, the simple one is a ladder and a wooden stick.
Since Wanyan Zongbi took the time to build, it was naturally complicated, and after one night, Wanyan Zongbi had already prepared seven or eight chariots.
The car is a siege machine from the Spring and Autumn Period, in short, there are wooden planks on both sides and the top of the car to guard against arrow stones, the car can accommodate more than ten people, in order to guard against the flying stones on the city wall, the top of the car is not only reinforced, but also covered with two layers of sheepskin or cowhide, in addition to adding a few shields to go up, if the stone is smashed up, and so on smashed the shield has no strength, if Jiang De sees it here, it is absolutely necessary to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients, this is not the most primitive reactive armor.
Nearly a thousand Jin troops surrounded these seven or eight chariots and rushed towards Sankou Town.
Naturally, these golden armies also had a lot of ladders and shields for siege purposes.
A man in a tunic on the city wall looked at the formation under the city wall, his face changed and said, "The Jin army has created a new siege machine, everyone be careful, the whirlwind cannon shoots according to the team, and it is necessary to destroy all the siege equipment of the Jin army!" ”
One by one, the whirlwind cannons rotated wildly, and each team kept adjusting various angles under the command of a tunic suit.
"Listen to me!"
The order was a graduate of the School of Engineering of Tianxiang College, named Shen Hai, he originally came to Tianxiang College to be a bookkeeper, but he did not expect to be assigned to the College of Engineering, he was also at peace with the situation, seeing that Tianxiang College has food and drink, and there is no need to worry about work, so he stayed with peace of mind, this time he brought a team of students from the College of Engineering to help here.
"Put!"
"Jump! Jump! Jump!! ”
The whirlwind cannon of a gate used the torsion of the rope to throw the stone bullets out, Wanyan Zongbi stood under the city and saw it most clearly, it was another hundred stone bullets, he carefully looked at the place where these stone bullets fell, and found that they were all heading towards his own cart, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
I have to say that Yan Zongbi's carefully built chariots are still very useful, and at least one or twenty of the hundreds of stone bullets have smashed on these chariots, and I saw that the shields on many cars have been smashed, but there is no major damage to the body of the car.
"Senior, our whirlwind cannon stone is too small to smash!"
Listening to his junior's call, Shen Hai forced himself to calm down.
To tell the truth, Shen Hai was a farmer's child four years ago, and his greatest wish was to be a bookkeeper, but now he is asked to command such a war, but it is difficult for him.
There are indeed military generals in the city, and the military generals of Sankou Town are also people from the Liangshan forces, a man named Zhang Chen, one of the first warriors given to Jiang De by Lu Junyi, but after this man knew that Shen Hai was a student of Tianxiang Academy, he said that he wanted Shen Hai to command this defensive battle, and Shen Hai was actually chasing ducks to the shelves.
Shen Hai looked at the approaching Jin Jun, and suddenly thought that this car was used to hit the door and the wall, and it would always stop by the wall, so he immediately shouted, "Prepare the oil oil!" The whirlwind cannon uses shotshots, don't hit the car, hit those sergeants for me.
Wanyan Zongbi looked at the stone no longer flying down, smiled and touched his beard, it seems that his car is still doing well, and when he has conquered Sankou Town, he wants to reward those craftsmen with some delicious food, this way of reward and punishment is the most important point for whether a general has the heart of the army.
He didn't have a happy moment, he saw hundreds of flying stones flying out, smashing down their heads and faces, these stones were smaller, just the size of a fist, but no matter how small they were, they were stones thrown from a high altitude, more than a dozen golden soldiers were smashed into their heads and other body parts, and they almost immediately announced that they had lost their combat effectiveness, the speed of the whirlwind cannon was very fast, about ten to fifteen breaths was a round, Wan Yan Zongbi gritted his teeth and continued to attack, after all, he only lost a dozen sergeants each time, it was really nothing.
Finally, the Jin soldiers came to the city, ladders, chariots and other siege ordnance went into battle, Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help but shout good, but before the words fell, he saw that the barrels of fire oil on the city head were poured down, and several torches were thrown down, almost instantly, those chariots were turned into torches, and hundreds of fire men rolled on the ground like crazy, screams and the smell of burnt meat made the city and the city stop their movements, watching these fire men being burned alive.
This time the siege failed again, Ha Mi looked at Wanyan Zongbi with a frustrated face, and persuaded, "Your Highness, don't be anxious, think about how many ordnance hoards can be in this small place of three towns?" Thinking about it, this time he had already poured out his oil. ”
If Ha Miqi knew that Neihuang was the largest soybean oil production base in the Great Song Dynasty, he would definitely beat himself in the mouth, Neihuang lacked everything here, that is, there was no shortage of soybean oil, and there were thousands of barrels of soybean oil in the three towns, which was enough for Yan Zongbi and these people to share one barrel.
Wanyan Zongbi nodded, decided to retreat and repair for two days to fight again, and wrote a battle report to Wanyan Zongwang, saying that there are quite a lot of troops defending the land in the Inner Yellow River, and they need to give some more time, and let the cavalry go around, looking for the people around, hoping to use the people to attack the city, but after looking for a day, this field is empty, there are jackals, tigers and leopards, but there are no people, Wanyan Zongbi does not know that all aspects of Neihuang have been monopolized by Jiang De's forces over the years, and all the landlords and squires who do not listen to Liangshan's instructions have been forced to flee bankrupt by pressure from all sides, This also makes this wall clear field particularly thorough.
- Daimyo's Mansion
In the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, Liang Shijie put down the letter in his hand, and asked with some worry and some expectation, "The Marquis of Pingyin said that the Jin army under the city will go south in a few days, but Kaifeng and he are not ready, I hope we will contain the Jin army here, what do you think?" ”
Under Liang Shijie, the civil and military forces sat in two columns, and the generals were originally respected by Wenda and Li Cheng, but after Li Cheng took the initiative to fight and was defeated last time, the prestige of the two was greatly reduced, but Suo Chao, Yang Zhi, Yue Fei and others became famous and became the new representatives of the military generals of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Among the civil officials, the leader does not look like a civil official at all, only to see this person with black skin and steel beard, if you want to say that this person is the reincarnation of Zhang Fei, there are people who believe it.
Naturally, the military generals said first, Wenda didn't fight last time, and his prestige was still there, but Li Cheng's almost death made him a little timid, and he arched his hand and said, "My Daimyo Mansion is located in the plain, the Jin army can come if it wants to, and leave if it wants, even if our army wants to contain its army, what should we do?" Is it difficult to get out of the city and fight in the field? ”
Wang Gui was originally short-tempered, he had always looked down on Wen Da, and when he heard that Wen Da actually rejected Jiang De's suggestion, he immediately wanted to refute it, but was pulled by Yue Fei.
"Wang Gui, what do you want to do? It's in the military! It's not your turn to speak yet. Yue Fei shouted in a low voice.
Wang Gui snorted and sat down patiently.
Yang Zhi, who was beside them, looked at these young men and couldn't help but sigh that it was good to be young, he had also had such a young and crazy time.
After Wenda's words were finished, Liang Shijie nodded, he also felt that it would be good to be able to hold the Daimyo's Mansion, and if he wanted to talk about field battles, he wouldn't dare.
Seeing that Liang Shijie wanted to sit and watch the Jin soldiers go south, the civil official like Zhang Fei couldn't sit still, he got up and arched his hand and said, "Xianggong, my Daimyo Mansion is the Kaifeng barrier, and now the Jin Army is attacking me on both sides, but the West Route Army is in Taiyuan, and the East Route Army is driving here, if it goes south, it will shake the foundation of our dynasty, and we should have contained its army, not to mention that the Pingyin Marquis has tens of thousands of male soldiers in Shandong, and it will soon be in Hebei. Xiang Gong is like sitting back and watching the Jin army go south, and the new emperor will investigate it in the future, how can Xiang Gong answer?
As for pinning down the Jin army, there is no need for a field battle, as long as the Jin army knows that our army will not defend the city. ”
Yue Fei couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and praised Wang Gui and the others beside him: "The eldest brother said before, although Uncle Zhang is a civil official, he has a talent, and today I know that it is true." ”
It turned out that this person who looked like Zhang Fei was Zhang Shuye, according to the original history, he should be the prefect of Jinan at this time, but how could Jiang De let such a person come to his own territory, and use some money to operate it to the Daimyo's Mansion, thinking that in the Daimyo's Mansion, the wartime front, it will inevitably play a big role.
In fact, Zhang Shuye's words made Liang Shijie shake again, Zhang Shuye is not a petty official, he not only served as a scholar like Liang Shijie, but also because his brother once went to the book to participate in Cai Jing, Liang Shijie always thought that Zhang Shuye went to the Daimyo Mansion to check and balance him, especially when he heard Liang Shijie talk about the new emperor, he was also worried that if he did not move, would he let the new emperor of Kaifeng be dissatisfied with him.
After all, the new emperor Zhao Huan was very bad with his father-in-law Cai Jing.
Liang Shijie continued to ask, "Lord Zhang said that there is no need for field battles, so what should I do?" ”
Uncle Zhang said with confidence, "I see that the Jin army has a division to go to the inner yellow a few days ago, and saw its cattle and sheep gathering, when there is a southward meaning, the Jin army from Yanshan Mansion, invincible, must be arrogant, can take advantage of the night to attack, the Jin army should be angry with our army, worried that once the main force goes south, our army will cut off its grain route, will continue to attack our city." ”
Liang Shijie looked worriedly at Li Cheng, whose wounds had not healed, and said, "Our army also attacked at night, but it was defeated, why do you have to attack at night today?" ”
Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "This time is different from the past, in the past, the Jin army had just arrived, and it was full of vigilance, but now the Jin soldiers have been under the city for a long time, and their vigilance has gone, so they can attack it at night." ”
Yue Fei clapped his hands and praised: "This is very much in line with the way of soldiers. ”
Although Yue Fei's movements were light, they were still seen by Liang Shijie, Liang Shijie remembered Yue Fei's performance that night in the past, and remembered that Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others were Jiang De's old friends, so he asked, "Pengju has something to say?" ”
Yue Fei didn't expect to call his name, after all, he was just a commander, but since he had ordered, he was not stage frightened, he got up and said, "The last general has often observed the Jin army camp in the past few days, and the commander of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongwang, is a general, but his subordinates are already anxious, like falling out of the city at night, first exhausting the troops with the golden drum, and then attacking and killing with the elite, they will definitely win." ”
"Ridiculous! There are only 20,000 soldiers in my city who can fight, and if there are any more losses, who will defend the city? Li Cheng didn't like it when he heard it, if he won that day, or even if he was undefeated, he would support the night attack, but he was defeated, if he was defeated in the night attack, and Yue Fei also won, then what face did he have to meet the generals.
Yue Fei is also a young man, and he arched his hand and said, "If Xianggong believes in the last general, the last general does not want others, as long as the two thousand people under the command of my brothers and the one hundred cavalry of General Suo, they will be able to return from victory." ”
Liang Shijie took a breath and asked, "There is no joke in the army, do you dare to make a military order?" ”
Yue Fei nodded and said, "Establish a military order!" ”
Uncle Zhang looked at the young and heroic Yue Fei, he loved it in his heart, and he didn't want Yue Fei to take the risk of the military order, so he said, "There is no battle in the world that must be won, Commander Yue just do his best, I look at the military order, I don't have to stand up." ”
Liang Shijie also thought that if Yue Fei's army was defeated, would he really behead him, then Jiang De must not hate himself to death, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is impossible for Cai Jing to rise again, Liang Shijie really doesn't want to offend anyone anymore.
But Li Cheng said, "There is no joke in the army, since Yue Fei said that he wanted to set up a military order, he can't help but stand it!" ”
Yue Fei didn't talk nonsense, and called the sergeant to write down the military order on the spot, Uncle Zhang sat down helplessly when he saw this, Liang Shijie said to Yue Fei, "Since this is the case, you will go down and prepare, and the ordnance, grain and grass will not be allowed." ”
——
After the military discussion, Yue Fei left with Wang Gui and a few people, and a big man stopped them and said, "Yue Pengju, what do you mean by this?" Why is it called Na Suo Chao, but not Yang Zhitong? ”
Suo Chao on the side laughed, patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I said Lao Yang, this is Brother Yue's insight into heroes, and I know that in this cavalry, I, Suo Chao, are still better than you Yang Zhi." ”
Yang Zhi shouted unconvinced: "Can you beat me? Come on, come on! Let's go to the martial arts arena to divide the highs and lows! ”
Yue Fei hurriedly stopped the two and said, "The two generals don't want to fight, please listen to me, Pengju borrowed General Suo this time, but it has a deep meaning." ”
"Oh? What does it mean? Yang Zhi asked.
Yue Fei pointed in the direction outside the city and said, "Wanyan Zongwang is the general of the Jin Army, and he can use the law to obtain the law, not to be underestimated, although I use the strategy of tired soldiers, but it is difficult to guarantee that I can win, so I must use the strategy of arrogant soldiers again."
Jin people have Guo Yaoshi and other generals, are familiar with the affairs of our dynasty, General Suo is called a pioneer, impatient personality, in the eyes of Jin people even if they can use tricks will not use the profundity, the kid can win from it! ”
Suo Chao took a breath and said, "You kid, it turned out that you called me because I was impatient." After speaking, he grabbed Yue Fei and played with Yue Fei.
Yang Zhi, Wang Gui and others laughed on the side, laughing here, but Wenda and others over there didn't like it.
"See? These people are becoming less and less interested in us. Li Cheng snorted, "I don't know if they win this battle, there will be any positions for our brothers in this Daimyo's mansion." ”
Wen Da was even more worried when he heard this, he knew that Yue Fei and the others were Jiang De's friends and brothers, and they had money in their hands, this soldier, if they were rich, they were their mothers, Yue Fei and the others had a lot of money, and they did have the ability, and their prestige in the army was increasing day by day.
On weekdays, Wen Da didn't care, after all, Yue Fei was just a small commander, and he was still far from being able to threaten his position, but now this is not the case.
If this battle is really won, Yue Fei will become a hero who defeated the myth of the Jin army's undefeated, and will inevitably be favored by the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Wenda felt that he couldn't let Yue Fei be so successful.
Although he didn't believe that Yue Fei could succeed either.
But what if.
Wen Da squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Cheng, both of whom had a plan in his heart.
Yue Fei and the others came to the army and sat down around, and Yang Zhi asked, "Little Brother Yue, tell me, what is your plan?" Why did you call me too? ”
Yue Fei glanced at Yang Zhi, and then said, "This battle, when it is so..."
- That night
Wanyan Zongwang put down the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at the top of the tent, feeling a little worried in his heart.
It's been three days since Yan Zongbi went to Neihuang, why hasn't there been good news yet, the three days of fast horses are vague in their mouths, and they only say that they are attacking the city, and they are the fourth brother....
Wanyan Zongwang recited a Buddhist scripture, and secretly calculated in his heart, the Daimyo Mansion seemed to be afraid of the defeat last time, it was better to leave a team of people and horses, and lead the main force to continue south, Guo Yaoshi was right, only by hitting Kaifeng could the Song Kingdom really succumb.
After Yan Zongwang took off his clothes, fell asleep, and dreamed after a while.
In the dream, he and Wanyan Zongbi and others went all the way into Kaifeng City, all the belongings of the Song Kingdom were at his disposal, and all the women were bullied by him.
"Dreams... Is this a dream? Wanyan Zongwang touched his forehead, feeling that it didn't seem to be a good sign that he suddenly had such a dream.
Wanyan Zongwang got up and took a sip of water, and lay down again, but this time before he could completely fall asleep, a shout woke him up.
"Kill!!" "Enemy attack!!" "Fight!"
Wanyan Zongwang opened his eyes suddenly, and the shouting of killing as if he was about to turn the sky upside down made him jump up suddenly.
"Where's the shouting to kill?" Wanyan Zongwang picked up the blade casually and walked out of his big tent.
Outside, rows of torches were constantly dancing, it was a sergeant being mobilized, and a general saw that Yan Zong came out, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Commander, there is a night attack by the Song army, the number is unknown." ”
Wanyan Zongwang listened attentively, and found that the shouting was loud and the fighting was small, his face changed, and he said, "This is the tired plan of the Song people, and immediately ordered all the troops to strictly defend the village, if the Song army attacked, they would shoot them with arrows, where is the horse monk?" ”
This horse monk is Wanyan Zongwang's cronies and generals, the original name is unknown, Wanyan Zongwang looked at the Buddha and deliberately changed it to such a name.
Monk Ma walked over with an iron rod and arched his hand: "I've seen the handsome!" ”
"This Song army is harassing our army, the purpose is to make our army weak during the day, you lead a thousand cavalry around the camp, be sure to disperse its army." Wanyan Zongwang admonished.
Monk Ma took the order and left, and Wanyan Zongwang looked at the Daimyo's Mansion that was faintly visible in the distance, took a breath, and looked worried.
After a while, a military came to report "Report!!" It has been clearly investigated, and the enemy is less than 100 horsemen, waving the Suozi flag. ”
Wanyan Zongwang looked at a scribe on the side and asked, "Suo?" Who is it? ”
The scribe didn't think about it, so he immediately replied, "Hui Dashuai, it should be Suo Chao, who is known as the pioneer of urgency, this person is good at using long axes, and he is a famous fierce general in the Daimyo's mansion." ”
Wanyan Zongwang asked, "What is this person's personality?" How do you relate to the people in the city? ”
The scribe replied, "This man has an impatient personality and is rude, so he is called a pioneer in a hurry, because he is the first in everything, so his popularity in the army is not good, and he is not good with Wen Da, the general of the Daimyo's Mansion. ”
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said, "With you Cai Jing here, I look at the Daimyo Mansion like a palm view." ”
It turned out that this literati was actually Cai Jing, who was kidnapped by Guo Yaoshi that day, and at this time he had surrendered to the Jin State, and asked the scribe in Wanyan Zongwang's army with his son.
Cai Jing's heart ached, but his face did not show a single bit.
Wanyan Zongwang touched his beard and said, "Is it urgent to pioneer Suo Chao?" Don't be afraid, let Monk Ma deal with it carefully, let the other battalions send twice as many people to watch the night, and everyone else will give me a good sleep, and I will sleep if I can't sleep. ”
After speaking, Wanyan Zongwang himself also returned to the big tent and continued to sleep, and before he could lie down for a while, Wanyan Zongwang found that the shouting and killing gradually disappeared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend a little.
After another hour, another shouting of killing came, Wanyan Zongwang frowned and got up, and asked, "Where is the shouting and killing?" ”
The outside soon reported "Back to the big handsome!" It was Na Suochao who had returned, and General Ma Monk had already led the army to drive him away. ”
"Well, let him not go too far and beware of the ambush." After Yan Zongwang looked at the moon, and when he saw that it was already ugly, he couldn't help shaking his head and continued to sleep.
This time he slept for about half an hour, and there was another shouting and killing, Wanyan Zongwang simply didn't care, changed his posture and continued to sleep, in his heart, this was just that reckless man Suo Chao wanted to get credit, he was very confident in his camp, and he was not afraid of the night attack of the small army at all.
Tossing back and forth until dawn, Wanyan Zongwang looked at the yawning sergeants everywhere, and felt that the tired tactics of the Song army yesterday had an effect, and today he no longer tried to attack the city, but let the sergeants go out to fight the grass valley to boost morale.
It was night again, this night Yan Zongwang was obedient, sent two thousand rangers to wait around the military village, once he found that there was a Song army harassment, he went to expel him, and he did not pursue too far, sure enough, there was no movement until the time, and Yan Zongwang slept satisfied.
As soon as he fell asleep, a series of explosions slammed him up, and the outside was in chaos, but the strange thing was that there was no shouting to kill, Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly asked people to investigate, he couldn't sleep, where to sit, waited for half an hour, and found out clearly, it was actually Song Jun who didn't know what method to use, smashed the gunpowder jar into the camp, and burned a few tents, Wanyan Zongwang touched his beard, knowing that this was still a tired soldier's plan, so he let the sergeant sleep peacefully.
Another hour passed, and there was another explosion, this time with the sound of shouting and killing, Wanyan Zongwang opened his eyes and sighed, knowing that he couldn't sleep again this night.
Fighting a war is manual work, even if you don't fight, there is a heavy barracks work, this rest is not good, it is easy to bomb the camp, Wanyan Zongwang is helpless, thinking about waiting until dawn to simply send a few troops to trap the gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, and these Song troops in the province will come out to make trouble at every turn.
When it was about five o'clock in the morning, the morning star hung high in the sky, and some of the roosters in the barracks began to crow, and a huge thunderclap woke up the entire camp of Wanyan Zongwang.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly walked out of the big tent and looked in the direction of the thunder, only to see a black smoke rising, as if it was on fire.
Then, there was a burst of earth-shaking drums and shouts of killing, Wanyan Zongwang was shocked, this momentum is not something that hundreds of people can do.
"Report !!!" A ranger galloped over and said, "Report!!" Marshal, thousands of Song troops appeared in the rear of our army, I don't know what they used to smash open our camp gates, our camp gates are gone, our army is in chaos! ”
"What is Ali Scraping doing? Our army's food and grass are all in the back camp! Wanyan Zongwang kicked over the ranger, gritted his steel teeth, looked in the direction of the rear camp, and shouted to the herald on the side, "Herald!" The ministries are not allowed to panic, it is forbidden to run around the camp, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!
Herald! Pu Cha and Shenguo each took two Meng'an to support the rear camp, and ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead his cavalry to make a detour to the rear camp for me to surround this Song army! Ordered Dong Cai to order a Meng'an and follow me to the back camp! I want to see who this Song Jun is! ”
This Dong Cai was the leader of the rebel army against Liao back then, and at this time he had surrendered to the Jin State and became the general of the Chinese army who completed Yan Zongwang.
After Yan Zongwang was hanging here, his back camp was a mess, and when Yan Zongwang arrived, he found that he had lost three camps.
After Yan Zongwang came to the watchtower, looked carefully, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, only to see that the four soldiers and horses cooperated with each other, you blocked me from killing, you covered up with me, and there were four young generals, each performing martial arts, and none of the golden generals who came and went could stop it.
Look at the road, the young general at the head, wearing red clothes and red armor, holding a big knife, slashing horizontally and vertically, the flag officer behind him erected a big banner with the word king, there are about 500 people under his command, there are about 300 people in front of him, all of them are big swords, and the back are crossbowmen, cutting people's heads rolling, as if the heavenly gods.
Look at the young general, dressed in white clothes and white armor, holding a sickle hook gun in his hand, there are also 500 people under his command, 300 sickle hook gunners, 200 strong crossbowmen, far arrow shooting, close directly with a sickle hook gun to pull down is a random poke, killing is the golden soldier shouting to the sky, watching the golden soldier retreated again and again, unwilling to fight.
Look at another young general, green clothes and green armor, a spear in his hand, 500 people under his command, 300 spearmen, all out of the close, behind the two hundred strong crossbowmen, straight ahead, looking at the hundreds of spearheads, where can the golden soldiers who have been in chaos resist.
These are not the most ruthless, but the most ruthless is a group of silver-armored sergeants, also five hundred people, led by a spear, these five hundred people are different from others, ten people are a small formation, holding different weapons, some with shields, some with swords and shields, some with crossbows, some with spears, but some people are holding things like bamboo that has not cut off branches and leaves, these ten people cooperate with each other, there are golden soldiers to kill, first the shield hand to cover, and then the sergeant with bamboo stepped forward to mess with the barrel, the strange weapon has a great killing range, Wanyan Zongwang saw with his own eyes that a warrior wanted to pounce on it with his strong armor, but he was stubbornly resisted by the weapon, and then there was a spear barrel and a strong crossbow shot sharply, Wanyan Zongwang looked carefully and found that where the five hundred people walked, the corpses were all Jin soldiers, and there was not even a single Song soldier.
Where did this ruthless man come from?
Wanyan Zongwang's eyes were about to pop out.
At this time, the reinforcements brought by Wanyan Zongwang also rushed over, but Wanyan Zongwang soon found that something was wrong, the performance of these golden soldiers was completely different from that of ordinary days, not only in a trance, but also with light steps.
"Damn it! The treacherous plan of the Song people! ”
Wanyan Zongwang didn't understand at this time, he hadn't slept well for two days in a row, this spirit was good, and it would be good to be able to use seven points of this ten-point strength.
Wan Yan Zong looked into the distance, he hoped to see Guo Yaoshi's cavalry appear, as long as the cavalry appeared, he could surround the two thousand Song legions and slowly strangle them.
Yue Fei, who was in the chaos, rode a war horse and looked around, seeing that the Jin army had slowly reacted, he waved his hand and shouted, "Go!" Let's withdraw!! ”
A trumpet sounded, and the four teams of soldiers and horses staggered towards the outside of the camp, until they escaped out of the camp and into the night, Guo Yaoshi's cavalry still did not arrive.
Wanyan Zongwang's whole person was about to jump up, until after another half a pillar of incense, Guo Yaoshi rushed over with the cavalry, looking at Wanyan Zongwang with a black face, Guo Yaoshi also felt that he was very innocent, he came desperately, but it was originally a surprise attack, the cavalry had to wear and find horses, plus it was a night march, where could it be so fast, he didn't dare to come with a hundred people.
Pharmacist Guo took the initiative to ask, "Handsome! The last general is willing to hunt down and kill the Song army! ”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Okay, you immediately take your three thousand cavalry to chase, I want the heads of those four young generals!" ”
Guo Yaoshi took the order and left, and when Guo Yaoshi left, Wanyan Zongwang said with some worry, "Dong Cai, you also take three thousand cavalry, the Song army just now is not simple." ”
Dong Cai arched his hand, took his spear and left, looking at the dust of the cavalry in the distance, Wanyan Zongwang sighed, looked at Ali who was kneeling on the ground, saw that he already had several wounds on his body, bleeding everywhere, nodded and turned his Buddha beads and said, "Ali scrapes the village is not strict, but Nian is fighting desperately, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, and the twenty military sticks are beaten!" ”
Ali was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva!" ”
Wanyan Zongwang felt comfortable when he heard it, and waved his hand to let him go down.
After about two sticks of incense, the sky gradually brightened, and Wanyan Zongwang looked at the corpses all over the ground in the back camp, and his heart was shocked and angry, and he didn't understand why this was so.
At this time, Cai Jing came with a person and said to Wanyan Zongwang, "Dashuai, I have someone to recommend." ”
Wanyan Zong looked at the man, and saw that the man was wearing the clothes of the people, but his body was strong, not like an ordinary person, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
The man bowed and said, "I came from the Daimyo's Mansion and told the Dashuai about something special!" ”
"Oh?" Wanyan Zongwang looked at the man, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”
Guo Yaoshi ordered three thousand cavalry, personally put on the battle, all the way to find traces to chase and kill, Yue Fei looked at Guo Yaoshi's cavalry, anger ignited in his eyes, seeing that the sky was already bright, knowing that it would be difficult for him to retreat into the city if he did not kill these cavalry, he shouted loudly, "Guo Yaoshi!" You, a family slave with three surnames, also have the courage to fight? ”
Guo Yaoshi's old face turned red when he was said, he looked around at his eyes, and his heart was furious, he knew that Yan Zongwang would look at him, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards Yue Fei and the others.
Yue Fei's four brothers glanced at each other, and ordered separately, only to see that the two thousand sergeants were rearranged into a military formation in less than thirty breaths, and the five hundred people led by Yue Fei were outside, and the mandarin duck array was scattered.
There were still about two hundred paces, Guo Yaoshi accelerated violently, and many cavalry behind him took out bows and arrows and threw them, which is a combat skill that only elite cavalry can do.
"Scatter!" Yue Fei shouted violently, and Guo Yaoshi was surprised to find that the Song army, which was originally on his charging line, suddenly ran left and right, and easily chiseled into the abdomen of this army, but was this really chiseled through by himself?
Guo Yaoshi's doubts didn't last long, only to see countless crossbow arrows flying out from the left and right, cutting off a large part of his cavalry, and then a small formation took the initiative to rush up, constantly poking over the war horses of his cavalry, as long as the war horses flipped over, no one needed to attack, and the horses behind could trample these knights to death.
It was the first time that Guo Yaoshi had seen such a method of warfare, which simply subverted his perception of cavalry and infantry, isn't this the infantry chaotic as soon as the cavalry rushed into the army formation? What's going on?
And Guo Yaoshi's most powerful cavalry charge didn't rush to anything.
Guo Yaoshi slowed down his horse and wanted to divide his troops to attack these chaotic small formations, but as soon as he slowed down his horse, a large group of pikemen and sickle hook gunners rushed up, these people's spears were longer than those of the cavalry, seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly ordered the cavalry to speed up again, and continued to rush forward, and then counted, just that round, at least more than 200 cavalry lost their lives.
Guo Yaoshi didn't dare to charge easily anymore, he didn't understand this strange military formation on the opposite side at all, Yue Fei saw that he didn't come, so he ordered the sergeant to maintain the formation and retreat to the Daimyo's Mansion, the outside of the Daimyo's Mansion was full of plains, but he didn't worry about the chaos of the formation.
Guo Yaoshi followed closely, and suddenly a cavalry flashed out, and one of the generals led by him held a big axe in his hand, and the banner was a rope word, and Guo Yaoshi knew that this person was the urgent pioneer Suo Chao.
Suo Chao used the cavalry and the cavalry of Monk Ma to play hide and seek with each other, and Guo Yaoshi also knew about it, and understood that Suo Chao was not simple, seeing that Suo Chao brought a hundred cavalry, and then looked at Yue Fei and others who were eyeing each other, they didn't dare to attack, but retreated.
When Suo Chao saw that Pharmacist Guo was retreating, he wanted to chase him, but Yue Fei hurriedly shouted, "Brother Suo, don't chase him, let him go." ”
Suo Chao hurriedly said, "The world has been eroded so far, half of it is because of this person, why don't you catch up and cut him?" ”
Yue Fei asked with a smile, "Brother Suo doesn't really think that we can really swallow Pharmacist Guo, just now because Pharmacist Guo didn't know the reality of my scattered star array, he suffered a loss, and he was worried about losing his strength, if he really fought to the death, it would not be necessarily, and the golden soldiers must be endless, let's hurry back to the Daimyo's Mansion." ”
Suo Chao nodded, sprinkled the cavalry behind, and escorted Yue Fei and the others back to the city quickly.
On the way back to the army, Guo Yaoshi met Dong Cai, who came with the army, Dong Cai watched Guo Yaoshi come back, and there were many casualties in the army, and said strangely, "General Guo, what about the heads of those Song generals?" ”
Guo Yaoshi sighed, "I'm ashamed to say it, I just fought with the Song army, Suo Chao suddenly killed, I was afraid that there would be an ambush, so I withdrew." ”
Dong Cai nodded and said, "This group of Song troops is strange and weird, different from the past, it is normal for General Guo to have such thoughts. ”
Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai joined forces, and when they were about to arrive at the camp, they saw Yan Zongwang wearing his whole body, holding a spear and rushing out with a large group of cavalry, Wan Yan Zongwang saw the two and said directly, "Come with me!" ”
The two didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly followed with the sergeant.
The army galloped all the way to the Daimyo's mansion.
Outside the Daimyo's Mansion, Yue Fei, Suo Chao and others had already come to the city at this time, and they were shouting at the door, and the Jin army that was originally cruising outside the city did not dare to approach the military formation of these two thousand people.
Liang Shijie in the city saw that Yue Fei and the others had really returned victorious, and said happily, "Open the door quickly!" ”
At this time, a general flashed out and said, "Wait, Xianggong, open the door at this time, David is not appropriate." ”
Liang Shijie saw that it was the general Li Cheng, and couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Why not?" ”
Liang Shijie pointed down and said, "Look, the Jin soldiers are wandering around at this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that Suo Chao and others will be raided by the Jin army when they enter the city, and the city gate will be wide open by then, and the Daimyo's Mansion will be in danger." ”
Liang Shijie looked at it and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is more than one gate in this famous mansion, this golden soldier is at the east gate, we will let Suo Chao go to the west gate to enter the city." ”
Liang Shijie didn't understand military affairs, and thought that Li Cheng was really thinking about the inside and outside of the city, so he nodded and ordered, Suo Chao and others in the city heard the reply, and couldn't help but look at each other, Wang Gui snorted and said, "This must be a ghost made by Wenda and others, Jin Bing will arrive at any time, doesn't this make me wait to die?" ”
Yue Fei sighed, "Sure enough, it's the same as what the eldest brother said, this Wenda and Li Cheng are narrow-minded people, we are backed by the city, but we are not afraid of Jin Bing, let's go, go to Xicheng first." ”
Before everyone could pull out, Wanyan Zongwang's army arrived, Wanyan Zongwang looked at Yue Fei and others who were trapped in the city, and laughed and said, "The Song people are fighting infighting, sure enough, kill me!" ”
Liang Shijie watched the overwhelming golden soldiers killing, and was so frightened that the whole person softened, Li Cheng took the opportunity to say, "Xianggong, the sword has no eyes, please go back to the house to rest, leave it to me here." ”
Liang Shijie sighed, looked at the city again, didn't hesitate anymore, dropped a sentence and turned his head and ran into the city.
As soon as Liang Shijie ran, Li Chengcheng became the supreme military commander here, he looked at Yue Fei and the others under the city, and hummed, "Order, without my order, no one is allowed to release arrows, nor is it allowed to open the city gate." ”
There were soldiers on the side who were still carrying arrows, and when they heard the order, they couldn't help but wonder, "Wouldn't it be right for us to be condescending and release arrows to cover?" ”
Li Cheng shouted, "What are you waiting for?" With your little bit of arrow, can you shoot it? At that time, Jin Bing didn't shoot a few, and your own brothers were all shot to death by you, so you are not allowed to shoot arrows at my order! ”
Everyone was helpless, and could only watch Yue Fei and the others below desperately die.
"Brother Yue? What to do? Li Cheng, that bastard, didn't open the door, Jin Bing rushed, we are more than lucky! Suo Chao held the big axe, swallowed his saliva and asked.
Yue Fei also looked at the door anxiously, he didn't know if his arrangement would take effect, and he didn't know if the person Jiang De told him was really like that.
"Set up first, even if you die! Bite off a piece of his flesh too! Yue Fei tightened his spear and shouted, "The whole army listens to my orders, and will not retreat!" ”
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death and never retreat!! ”
These sergeants, who had been trained by Yue Fei and others for a long time, and who had never lacked money and food, faced Li Cheng's betrayal and the pressure of the Jin army, burst out with the greatest fighting spirit!
This battle! Fight to the death!
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the more than 2,000 people gathered together, and shouted to the left and right, "Look at it! Just more than 2,000 people, they made a big fuss about us for two nights, and killed thousands of of us, this is your great shame, and the only way to wash away this shame is to rush over and annihilate them! ”
As he spoke, Wanyan Zongwang pointed to the Daimyo Mansion and said, "You are looking, although the Song people have such warriors, but the officials of the Song Kingdom don't even have the courage to open the door for them, they are not even as good as lambs, are you warriors still afraid of lambs?" ”
I have to say that Wanyan Zongwang is a generation of famous generals, a few words have raised everyone's morale, tens of thousands of golden soldiers shouted with all kinds of strange shouts, Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, Guo Yaoshi, Dong Cai, Benjian, Naye, Saira, Taishi and other large and small gold generals rushed out together, rushing towards Yue Fei's army in unison.
Yue Fei, it's dangerous!
