Song Qi had great confidence in Li Mu's troops.

It's a pity that in the imperial study, I drank two pots of hot tea in a row and never received any reports.

It was getting late, the palace maid lit the palace lamp, and Song Qi only got news from the eunuch.

In the empress's palace, the empress's cronies sent eunuchs out of the palace secretly, and outside the palace, they had brief contact with Li Mu's deputy general He Zhangzhang.

The contact between the two sides was extremely short, what they were talking about, and what attitude Lin Shuying and Li Mu had, Song Qi could not predict.

However, within half a day, he did not get a reply from Li Mu, and Song Qi had bad expectations in his heart.

wanted to catch the palace maid* asked, but was afraid of annoying Lin Shuying, and completely refused to send troops.

There was no solution, Song Qi had hope, and he was also thinking of other ways to try to block the Yan army.

As the night deepened, the spies who monitored the Nanda camp sent back the news, and as of the evening, the Nanda camp was as quiet as the water, and there was no sign of dispatching troops.

After receiving the news, Song Qi was furious, beat his chest in the imperial study, and cursed Lin Shuying and Li Mu again and again for being hateful, ignoring the attack of the Yan army for the sake of imperial power, and ignoring the future of the Song Kingdom.

In desperation, Song Qi personally sent a messenger to the south overnight to inform Guo Wanjun to try to quickly annihilate Zhao Hongru's army, lead the army back to help, and block the army led by Hou Mingfeng.

Whether this move can be successful, Song Qi is not at all sure. However, the two elite corps of Meng Kuo and Li Mu did not send troops, so he had to do this.

……….

The night generals, the hustle and bustle of Kaifeng City, gradually shrouded in darkness.

Under the strict requirements of the Song Dynasty, in the city of Kaifeng, the defense was strengthened several times, and the patrol in the city was also strengthened a lot, so the Yan army outside the city had to be guarded against and quietly attacked the city.

For a while, in Kaifeng City, the atmosphere of war was strong.

In the vast night, Lin Feng and Feng Shihu led the ironclad cavalry, like night owls, gradually lurking in the villages and woods of Kaifeng City, and gathered on the high ground more than ten miles away from Kaifeng City.

Climb the mountain bag, raise your eyes and look into the distance, you can clearly see the north and south camps of the Song army in the distance, and the rich Kaifeng City.

The north and south camps of the Song army, as if the stars were holding the moon, stood quietly on both sides of Kaifeng City.

At night, the north and south camps were filled with lights, and Kaifeng City gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Lin Feng, as the commander of the three armies, was extremely excited and a little nervous in his heart.

After several years of fighting, he had not led an army, and before the war began, he led the troops under the imperial city of the enemy country.

Tonight, the ironclad cavalry is only more than ten miles away from Kaifeng, and the blade warrior station is relatively remote, but it is only more than forty miles.

At the beginning of the war, there was an opportunity to storm Kaifeng, causing chaos in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, storming Kaifeng is by no means a wise choice.

After a detailed investigation by the spies, Lin Feng had determined that there were 400,000 elite Song troops in the two military camps in the north and south of Kaifeng alone.

The iron cavalry led by him had amazing combat effectiveness, but he did not dare to guarantee that when the elite of the 400,000 Song army attacked from the north and south, he would still easily capture Kaifeng City.

Therefore, after discussing with Feng Shihu, Lin Feng made a plan to attack the city.

took the lead in sending troops to inflict heavy losses on hundreds of thousands of elites in the northern and southern camps of the Song army, causing the Song court to shake, and then sent troops to attack Kaifeng City.

Even if Kaifeng City cannot be attacked, as long as the elite of the Song army is severely damaged, it will still greatly reduce the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be harmless to Dayan.

At this moment, the iron cavalry gathered, Lin Feng's expression was serious, he knew very well how difficult the enemy army he was facing.

Li Mu of Nandaying is even more of Dayan's old enemy, and the two sides have an undying hatred.

At the same time, in this war, nearly 400,000 elites in the northern and southern battalions faced unprecedented challenges for the Yan army.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

However, Lin Feng's mind is like iron, no matter how difficult it is, he must carry it out.

The victory of this war will completely change the pattern of the north and the south, and will completely lay the foundation for the unification of the country by Dayan.

To put it bluntly, this war, on the one hand, is to take revenge, on the other hand, to weaken the power of the Song State, and prepare for the annexation of the Song State.

When he led the adventure to Kaifeng City, although it was dangerous, Lin Feng put life and death aside.

The ironclad cavalry had already left all dangers behind.

The whole army is united to implement Lin Feng's plan.

In the dark night, Lin Feng was wearing iron armor, holding a horse chopping knife in his hand, and walked out of the lurking place with a heroic posture and a vigorous attitude.

Around him, there were many iron horsemen who were ready to fight.

At this time, Feng Shihu, Gu Jianxiong, and Feng Shihu's deputy general Ning Wu also strode out and surrounded Lin Feng.

Feng Shihu reported to Lin Feng loudly: "Your Majesty, everything is in order, you can choose to send troops to attack the north and south camps of the Song army. ”

Tonight, Feng Shihu and the others demanded that the execution was very difficult, very dangerous, and if they were not careful, if there was an accident in any link, the whole army could be wiped out.

At this moment, Feng Shihu, Gu Jianxiong and Ning Wu looked serious.

According to the arrangement of Lin Feng and Feng Shihu, Feng Shihu led the iron cavalry under the tent, and he had to take advantage of the night to provoke a war between the northern and southern camps of the Song army.

When the enemy and the enemy were unknown, Han Tao's mechanical army and Li Mu's iron cavalry fought in the dark night, consuming all the strength of the Song army and reducing the pressure faced by the Yan army in Kaifeng.

Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression was firm, without any hesitation, and said: "Tonight's battle is about the future of Dayan, about our life and death, the fierce battle will be extremely ferocious, the soldiers of the whole army need to be bold and careful, and fight bravely."

If this war is won, I, Dayan, will dominate the country. ”

After encouraging and reminding the officers and soldiers of the three armies, Lin Feng did not hesitate to order: "Feng Shihu, Ning Wu, lead 25,000 iron cavalry, arrange for 1,000 iron cavalry to ride in balloons, set out at midnight, and take the lead in dealing a heavy blow to Han Tao's mechanical army.

Gu Jianxiong, you and I personally led the rest of the army, and also arranged a thousand iron horsemen to take the lead in attacking Li Mu's army from the air. Half an hour later, you and I quickly dispatched troops to attack Li Mu's army.

The surprise attack was successful, and we met at the west gate of Kaifeng City. ”

"Yes!" Feng Shihu, Gu Jianxiong, Ning Wu hugged his fist.

However, Feng Shihu and Ning Wu had a lot of confusion in their hearts, relying on 50,000 iron horsemen alone, although they were surprised to cover up their surprise attacks. But it could not deal a heavy blow to the two armies.

At the same time, if during the evacuation, unfortunately, the Song army was surrounded by the northern and southern battalions, at that time, the ironclad cavalry would be in a dilemma, and even Lin Feng's own safety would be threatened.

Gu Jianxiong couldn't help but stepped forward to ask, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general does not approve of the two-way attack by the army, if it is necessary to divide the troops into two surprise attacks, thinking of the emperor's safety, the emperor must not participate." ”

"That's right, the emperor, the last general suggested that in order to ensure the success of the surprise attack, General Cao and General Luo should be mobilized to lead the blade soldiers and cooperate with the iron cavalry operation, which can also ensure the emperor's safety." Ning Wu agreed with Gu Jianxiong's proposal, and in addition, he also put forward his own ideas.

They know how dangerous this war is tonight, and no one dares to be careless.

Lin Feng was silent, but Feng Shihu smiled and said: "General Gu, General Ning, the iron cavalry attacking the Song army's northern and southern camps is only half of the plan, according to the emperor's plan, there are still tricks, you don't need to worry." ”

The attack plan came from the hands of Lin Feng and Feng Shihu, and they had comprehensively deduced how the Yan army would be attacked when the attack began.

What's more, there is a precedent for Yan Qi to attack enemy troops called hot air balloons.

Although this time it was impossible to bring a large amount of fuel and rain of arrows, it could not form a situation of annihilating all the soldiers in the south, however, with the iron cavalry and the second half of the plan, the blade soldiers performed brilliantly, and if they did not completely annihilate the Song army in the north and south camps, it would also deal a heavy blow to the other side.

Gu Jianxiong, Ning Wu, and Feng Shihu explained that they still didn't know what the plan was for the second half, but they realized that although tonight's surprise attack was dangerous, it was also guaranteed.

It's not an aimless attack!

Feng Shihu motioned for Gu Jianxiong and Ning Wu to leave, and immediately arranged for the army to prepare to take the lead in attacking at midnight.

The three generals left, Lin Feng was silent for a while, raised his hand to gather the guards around him to approach, and instructed the four guards, "You ride your horse to the blade warrior camp, inform General Cao, General Luo, and the soldiers will quietly move towards the north and south camps of the Song army in two ways."

After the fierce battle of the Song army in the north and south camps, the two blade soldiers stormed the north and south camps of the Song army, striving for total annihilation. ”

"Yes!" The four guards heard the sound and hurried away.

At this time, Lin Feng took a long breath, and there was great pressure in his heart.

The night breeze was slow, cold and biting.

In the southern camp of the Song army, the iron cavalry was not afraid of the cold and patrolled in a neat and orderly manner.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the defense is very tight, and it looks like a great enemy.

After receiving Lin Shuying's letter, the deputy general He Zhangzhang returned to the barracks and told Li Mu the news.

Knowing that the Yan army quietly touched the outside of Kaifeng City, new hatred and old hatred instantly surged into Li Mu's heart, remembering that he was severely injured by the Blue Feather Legion and 70,000 tiger army, and he was left with a disability and could not fight to kill the enemy.

Li Mu was eager to immediately mobilize the iron cavalry out of the camp to find the traces of the Yan army and completely annihilate it for revenge.

However, in the letter brought back by He Zhangzhang, the empress asked the iron cavalry to hold its troops still, and when Han Tao's army did not lead the army to fight, the iron cavalry must preserve its strength.

It must not collide with the Yan army on a frontal battlefield.

Lin Shuying's idea is very simple, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty is dangerous, Li Mu has to stand still, unless the Yan army really appears in Kaifeng, launch a fierce attack on Kaifeng City, and lead the army to hit the other party hard.

Only the army did not move, and Song Qi did not have any extra troops in his hands to resist the enemy, and when the situation was dangerous, he had to obey.

At that time, she regained her grip on the imperial power and sent various armies to attack, and quickly recovered the places seized by the Yan army.

In addition, look for the right opportunity to fight against the Yan army, as long as she is not defeated, her prestige will return to the peak, and at that time, there will be no one in the Song Kingdom who can threaten her position.

At the same time, according to the dialogue with Song Qi, the main force of the Yan army returned to help, Hou Mingfeng, Ju Wentai, and Zhao Hongru led a three-way army to storm the Song State.

However, after Yan opened up a new battlefield in the south, after annexing Cai State, it also needed to garrison troops, so it is estimated that there will not be too many people for Great Yan to return to the main force.

Even though she hadn't seen Lin Feng, Lin Xiao, Feng Shihu, Zhang Yu, Xing Yike, Bai Yisheng, and other Dayan generals, she was not worried that the other party would appear outside Kaifeng City.

In case a Yan army appears outside Kaifeng City, the number will definitely not be too much, so there is no need to worry.

Therefore, after He Shanzhang told Li Mu the news, Li Mu had to suppress his anger and adopt a strategy of not moving, and the southern camp only slightly strengthened its vigilance.

In the Beida camp, Han Tao also learned that the Yan army was infesting near Kaifeng City, and after returning to the barracks, he ordered the whole army to strengthen the defense to avoid the attack of the Yan army, and he was caught off guard.

At midnight, Kaifeng City is surrounded by quiet and dense except for the cold wind.

At this time, in the Iron Cavalry Army, dozens of hot air balloons, carrying 2,000 cavalry, quickly moved to the north and south camps of the Song Army.

As the advance army, they attacked in a hot air balloon, and the iron cavalry was extremely happy.

In the Yan army, everyone knows that the ironclad infantry rode in a hot air balloon, traveled a long distance, and overnight, severely damaged the three southern corps, winning time for the Yan army to return north.

Now the iron cavalry is riding in a hot air balloon, and he also wants to establish military merits in times of crisis, inflict a weighing blow to the Song army in the air, and establish the absolute dominance of the Yan army in the north.

The advance army left in a hot air balloon, and Lin Feng, Feng Shihu, Gu Jianxiong, and Ning Wu were also fighting fiercely, like beasts foraging in winter, and finally set out.

Soon after the advance, the whole army parted ways and slowly advanced to the north and south camps of the Song army.

Just wait for the surprise attack of the advance army to succeed, and quickly lead the iron cavalry to charge.

In the dark night, the two advance armies, like ghosts in the night, appeared in the sky above the north and south camps.

The iron rider in the hot air balloon, sticking out his head, looked down at the Song army camp with sparks on the ground, and the whole army was secretly happy, and almost without hesitation, he launched an attack on the Song army camp.

Take out the fire fold and light it, grab the fire and light it, and quickly drop it from the sky.

For a while, in the dark sky, a little spark appeared, whirring and falling against the cold wind.

In the barracks, patrolling the Song army back and forth, they soon noticed something abnormal in the sky, and many Song soldiers stopped their pace, looked up at the sky, paid attention to observe, and their hearts were gradually filled with fear!

In their eyes, the sudden appearance of a moving spark in the sky above the Song army's camp was by no means a good sign.

Gradually, as the fire falling from the air burned more and more vigorously in the cold wind, getting closer and closer to the Song army on the ground, some Song Jun noticed the clue and couldn't help but exclaim: "Fire, heavenly fire, run away!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the onlookers were frightened, and they couldn't help but speculate whether there was any bad omen when the sky rained down on the sky.

However, in the blink of an eye, more and more fire was in the air, and some of them had already landed in the barracks or in the tents, and were burning.

"Fire, Skyfire!"

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire."

"The fire of heaven is a bad omen, and it must not be approached, and it will lead to trouble!"

………..

For a while, the north and south camps of the Song army became chaotic.

In the southern camp, Song Qi heard the noise in the barracks, and with the help of the guards, pushed the wheelchair out of the tent.

Seeing the bizarre phenomenon in the sky at a glance, Li Mu panicked and didn't know why.

However, when the deputy general He Zhangzhang and the four lieutenant generals approached, he still hurriedly ordered: "General He, the sudden fire in the sky, I am afraid that there is something ominous, quickly lead the troops to extinguish the fire, and strengthen the vigilance to prevent the enemy from attacking." ”

"Yes!"
