Chapter 171: The First Level of the Great Wall 7
Outside the camp on the south side of Horn Mountain, the sky is just dawning, the air is cold and humid, and at this time, the most comfortable thing is to be able to sleep in the tent covered with a thick blanket. But just now, after the Jin army had finished plotting to defeat Yan Pulihei, he had already led his men to repel a soldier and horse of the Wansheng army.
Although he won, he didn't feel any pride. Wanyan Purihei has been fighting in various places with the army, and he has experienced hundreds of battles, and he is almost forty years old, so he is naturally not as excited as young people.
Standing in front of the hillside, Purihi looked at the Wansheng army that was fleeing in the distance, pondered for a moment, and turned to walk towards the camp.
The camp is in a palace, where the previous emperor of the Central Plains lived when he led his troops to attack Goryeo, and now it is used as the camp of the Chinese army.
"Prihe, you came to see me, but you want to repay your men?" Wan Yan Lou asked in a low voice, wrapped in a thick robe.
"Lou Mu Bo Jin, the warriors repelled the enemy, and they have Bo Jin in their eyes and in their hearts, I have always known how to fight, and I don't know how to repay the merits." Although Purihe admired Wanyan Loumur, the victorious general in the army, he refused to be misunderstood by Wanyan Loumur, and said proudly, "Purihei came to see Bo Jin because he felt that the enemy army was a little strange. ”
"How strange is that?" Wan Yan Lou asked as he stared at Purihei.
"In the past, whether the Wansheng army was attacking or defending, they would use explosive arrows, or open the way, or break off, and wounded many of my sergeants. This is especially true when attacking our army. This time, I didn't need to blow up the arrows, but just rushed to my front and shot an arrow indiscriminately, and before I could lead my men to attack, this Wansheng army ran away, isn't it strange like this? Although Purihei was illiterate and had never read a book of soldiers, he also understood that marching and fighting was not a game, and that every soldier and soldier would be arranged with a purpose, and no general would let his men die at will. Fighting against the Wansheng Army many times, Purihe also knows that the Wansheng Army is far superior to the Liao Army, but Purihei is not afraid of these, the most afraid is the Wansheng Army's explosive arrows, often an arrow shoots, not only hurting people, but also disrupting the war horses and messing up. Seeing that this time the Wansheng army came to attack, but without using an explosive arrow, the more Purihei thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"Prihe, you're doing the right thing." Wan Yan Lou Room praised expressionlessly, "The tiger must bark first when it comes down the mountain, and the wolves will send two wolves to take a look when they eat the lamb." Wan Shengjun has not taken the initiative to fight for several days, and when he came here today, he will not fight, and there will definitely be changes. Purihei, you lead your men, and I will allocate 2,000 men and horses to you here to attack Yuguan City, and test it to see what tricks these people have. ”
Purihe didn't say much, and followed one of Yan Lou's subordinates out of the account.
The cold wind outside Zhang took the opportunity to get in with Pu Lihei's outing, and Wan Yan Lou couldn't help but wrap his leather robe tightly. After he escaped from Yanjing City, he escaped alive from the vast mountains to Guanwai. If it weren't for his many years of fighting, his mind would have been as strong as iron, maybe he would have stabbed himself to death with a knife.
He can die, but he has to watch Zhou Nan die in front of him!
In Fengshengzhou, Wanyan Lou finally endured the shame to see the old emperor, and told the old emperor that he was injured in front of the army, was blown unconscious, fell into the hands of the enemy, and finally found an opportunity to escape, and hoped that the old emperor could allocate some soldiers and horses to him, so that he could lead the army to set foot in Yanjing City, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart. It's just that the old emperor is already seriously ill, and he is about to die, so let him bear with it first, and wait for him to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty, and then decide the matter of Yanjing.
It is no longer possible to take revenge by relying on the old emperor, and it is impossible to attack Yanjing from the west and north. In the end, he had to lead 8,000 men and horses of his own clan with his son and daughter, and defected to Wanyan Zongwang, the generalissimo of the Eastern Army and the second prince.
It was not his intention to defect to Wanyan Zongwang, although he was not a member of the old emperor's family, he also knew about the factional disputes in the imperial family. This Wanyan Zongwang is too soft and doesn't like to kill. This time, he led his army to attack Yuguan City, or under the pretext of capturing Yuguan and occupying the dangerous pass. There is also the Liao rebel Zhang Jun happened to come to defect, saying that this Wansheng army appeared in the flat land, and wanted to compete with Dajin for Yanjing City, Wanyan Zongwang was angry, and asked Zhang Jun to lead him and lead his own people, as well as the 10,000 horses given by Zongwang, to kill from Yuguan and level the Wansheng army.
The son and daughter heard that Zhou Nan of Wanshengjun went to Bianjing out of nowhere, so she secretly ran away with a few henchmen, presumably to Bianjing to assassinate Zhou Nan. Wanyan Lou is not worried about the living girl, the living girl followed him at the age of sixteen and charged into battle, not a brave and unscrupulous person. And Ulu is also in Bianjing City, so there is Ulu to take care of, so don't worry.
It's just that the arrows of this Wansheng Army are too powerful, and they are not something that flesh and blood can resist at all. His 20,000 horses had been blocked outside Yuguan City for more than half a month, and he still couldn't move forward. Just now, Puri Heilai of the former army reported to him that Wanyan Lou, who has a natural sensitivity to the changes in the situation on the battlefield, faintly felt that the attack of the Wansheng army this time was by no means rash, and there would definitely be changes in the future. That's why he made a quick decision and asked Wanyan Puri to take 5,000 men and horses to test the movements of the Wansheng Army.
The harassing attack on weekdays is only 2,000 cavalry, but today Wanyan Lou sent 5,000 people, which is naturally not just a temptation.
"Someone," Wan Yan Lou called out in a low voice, "pass the order, and the whole army will attack with me in half an hour, and there must be no mistake!" ”
Wan Yan Lou didn't dare to speak loudly, and every time he spoke, he had to deliberately lower his voice so that others would not hear his voice that was gradually becoming sharper. Now his health is getting worse and worse, and he can't stand even the slightest cold. Only every time he led the army to battle, the hatred in his heart could make him completely ignore the fatigue of his body.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wanyan Lou Chamber, who was dressed in thick robes and heavily armored outside, held an iron spear in his hand, and led the army to kill Yuguan City in the southwest. The road of more than thirty miles is soon reached, and standing on the high hills, you can already see the low Yuguan City not far away.
He could go up a wall like this, which was less than two feet high, without a ladder - in the past, of course. But now, the 20,000-strong army can't break through the city wall, all because of the explosive arrows in the hands of the Wansheng army.
The biggest difference between today's Yuguan City and the past is that there are many more flags, and from a distance, it seems that even the defenders on the city wall are much more, and the drums are louder than usual. Although the Jin army besieging the city under the city was brave, it was still difficult to get close, and occasionally someone could climb the city wall, and then they were thrown down.
Wan Yan Lou couldn't help but be surprised: Reinforcements are coming?!
