Li Gang was really shocked when he heard that Xu Wei was going to touch the camp, although he didn't know about military affairs, but at least he knew that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city. If you want to carry out a sneak attack, isn't it an ant to shake Mount Tai? But Xu Wei didn't think so, he thought that the larger the corps, the more difficult it was to command, and even though the Jin army had hundreds of thousands, the composition was complicated. Among them were the Jurchen Army, the Khitan Army, the Bohai Navy, the Xi Army, the Han Army, the Signature Army, the Li Army, and even the people of Guanzhong.

If he is in the wilderness, he will not be able to bargain. But if you sneak up on it at night, especially in the current situation, there is still a chance. For this, he has been preparing for a while and is waiting for the finish. Seeing him say this, Li Gang did not express any further objections, firstly, he gave Xu Wei full command powers, and secondly, even if it was a defeat, it would be bearable for the Song army that relied on the city.

Coming out of the Xuanfu Division, Xu Wei went straight to Shuaisi, Xu Sheng, Wang Yu, Wang Yan, Zhang Qing, Wu Jue, Wu Ling, Yang Yan, Ma Tai, Zhang Xian, and Yang Zaixing and other generals have been waiting for a long time. These high-ranking generals of the Yongxing Army Marshal Division still don't know why the marshal suddenly summoned them. Before that, only Xu Wei, Du Feihu, and Li Guan knew the inside story.

When Xu Wei entered the festival hall, the generals stood up to greet him, he took off his saber and handed it to Du Feihu, and said loudly: "There is something important, I will do it tonight!" It has been two months since the siege of Chang'an, and it has not been attacked in the near future, which makes me very unaccustomed. Ben Shuai plans to touch the camp tonight, who has the courage to go? After saying that, he sat down behind the handsome case and looked around at the dozens of generals below.

Yang Yan and Zhang Xian got up almost at the same time: "I am willing to go!" ”

Wu Xuan Matai immediately got up, and also said: "I am willing to go!" ”

When the rest of the people saw it, they were all eager to try, and although the defensive battle was twice the result with half the effort, it was not fun after all. And these days, the Jin army has no way to face the Song army's strong weapons, which makes the generals full of confidence. Seeing this, Xu Wei waved his hand: "Don't rush to grab the credit, Ben Shuai will say ugly things in front." Whoever rushes to go and messes things up will be held accountable. ”

As soon as these words came out, those eager generals were a little skeptical. It is only said that it is a touch camp, and there is no specific arrangement, and it is required to start tonight, which is not easy, so let's see.

"Just these four?" Xu Wei asked loudly. No one answered below, generals of the level of Xu Sheng, Wang Yan, Zhang Qing, and Wang Yu were naturally not suitable for sneak attack adventures, and the others were not sure of victory, so they did not come forward.

"Okay, you four, tell me what you think." Xu Wei nodded.

Yang Yan was anxious, for fear that others would take him first, so before speaking, he opened his hands to block him, and said quickly: "Please give the lowly horse army 1,000 and the foot soldiers 2,000, and go to the camp tonight!" ”

Ma Tai took two steps forward and was about to speak, but was stared at by Yang Yan fiercely, and whispered, "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

Ma Tai ignored him, estimating that he couldn't rob Yang Yan, but it was okay to go all the way, so he said: "I am willing to walk with Yang Zhi." ”

Xu Wei didn't say anything, looked at Wu Lan, and asked with a smile, "What does Tang Qing think?" Let's hear it. ”

"You don't need a lot of infantry for a humble position, as long as the commander allocates a few firearms, and if there is the kind that the commander test-fired at the head of the city that day, it is naturally the best! In addition, 2,000 horse troops are enough! Wu Lan had a heart, he was not present when Xu Wei tried to shoot the "Thunder Arrow" at the head of the city that day, but he heard Yang Yan boast later. And when he heard from the other soldiers how powerful the firearm was, he thought to himself that if he took it to the camp, wouldn't it be convenient?

Xu Wei nodded approvingly, Yang Yanyong was brave, but he was eager to make meritorious contributions and was a little impatient, Wu Lan was more suitable than him. was about to announce the decision, but found that Zhang Xian, the youngest of the first-level generals of the Hujie Command, had not yet spoken, so he asked, "Zongben? ”

"Marshal, if you send a lowly officer, it will take some trouble." Zhang Xian said honestly.

"Oh? How much trouble, I'll listen. As long as you are sure, it doesn't matter if you bother with something. Xu Wei encouraged.

"If you go to camp tonight, you will need horse weapons and firearms, but at the same time, you must cooperate with your comrades. If the lowly position attacks one side, the other sides will have to bluff, and the more chaotic the better. After Zhang Xian finished speaking, Xu Wei was selected. Who is Zhang Zong's original in this matter?

immediately slapped the handsome case and said loudly: "Okay! That's you! ”

Although Yang Yan was not happy, Xu Wei had already spoken, and he didn't say anything more, and fell back to his seat. I heard Brother Jiu call: "Li Guan, show your picture to everyone." ”

Li Guan, who always accompanies the last seat, got up in response, took out the picture of his personal collection, and nailed it to the picture shelf. Because the picture was small, the generals got up and gathered around, listening to him explain in detail: "Fellow soldiers, this is only the approximate location of the Jin military camp in the area of Nancheng. It has been proved that the one stationed here is Li Yi in Hedong. Please see, these connected Dazhai are the garrison of Li Jun. And the small villages on the periphery are all the people of the Jin military envoys. Pay attention to the three circles on this picture, it is believed that Li Zhi should be within these three places. Commander Zhang, when you act tonight, you must be careful on the right side, and report carefully, this is either the Jurchen Army or the Bohai Navy. However, the exact arrangement of the camp is unknown. The villagers' small village is about two miles away from Li Jun's big village. Once it is moved, the meticulous work of our army mixed in will take the opportunity to cooperate. ”

When the generals heard this, they were amazed, this time Li Zhi was unlucky. It's not that we haven't seen his troops, during the Battle of Xiaoxishan, it was the first time we fought independently, if it weren't for the help of the Jurchens, that time we would definitely have killed the Li army and fled.

"Marshal, is the lowly duty attacking here?" Zhang Xian asked sideways.

Xu Wei got up after sitting on the case, went to his side, and put a little more weight on the map: "Don't do anything else tonight, just pick up the soft pinch and pinch it." Previously, the fine work of our army had been mixed into the people of the Jin military envoys, and they had already released rumors to disturb their morale. In the early preparations, Ben Shuai has done enough for you, and you will do your work more smoothly tonight. ”

"Yes." Zhang Xian replied respectfully.

"Ben Shuai gave you 1,500 horses to attack the enemy camp, and 3,000 infantry troops to respond. In addition, I will allocate you 800 men from my own army, and carry 400 'Thunder Arrows'. The three generals, Yang Yan, Ma Tai, and Wu Lan, will support you from other directions. Ben Shuai doesn't ask you to cut down many levels, nor does he ask to repel the Jin army, just to let Sticky Han know, don't think that you can sleep peacefully without attacking the city, Lao Tzu won't let him live in peace! Xu Wei said loudly.

Yang Yan and others regretted that their intestines were blue, and there were 400 "thunder arrows"! I knew I was rolling on the ground and I was going to fight for this errand! When I was in the city that day, I had seen the power of this firearm with my own eyes, and it was overkill to touch Li Zhi's barracks! Alas, miscalculation! What a miscalculation! Let Zhang Zongben pick up a big bargain!

At the moment, a battle plan was drawn up, all possible scenarios were taken into account, and after the discussion was completed, each general went back to prepare the equipment of the troops. When he left the Shuai's Mansion, Yang Yan also said to Zhang Xian sourly, I gave it to you this time, if it is done, you can owe me a drink, and you will pay it back when you come back.

The words were divided into two ends, and after a day, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yelu Ma Wu sent a message back from Dingrong again. He said that he was negotiating with the envoys of the Southern Dynasty to cede Shaanxi. But obviously, this was the bottom line of the Song court, and the other party only agreed to use the Yellow River as the boundary, ceding Hezhong Province, which was located on the east bank of the Yellow River and originally under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, and the Jin army wanted to withdraw from the occupied Yanyan and Shaanxi. Sticky Han didn't get angry this time, he only thought it was funny, he felt that Song Envoy was too naïve, I already occupied the city land, you let me quit? Eat the fat in your mouth and want to spit it out? Is there such a thing in the world?

Although the Song envoys agreed to cede the two rivers and Shandong, they should not forget that these areas were already under the occupation of the Jin army, and whether they were ceded or not was just a statement. The entire territory of Shaanxi must be ceded, otherwise Lao Tzu will not withdraw his troops and fight all the way!

Of course, sticky Han's requirements are similar to those of a trader. He knew that it was impossible for the Southern Dynasty to give away the entire territory of Shaanxi for nothing, so he first shouted a high price, and then let the other party cut it, the ultimate goal was to hope to get his hands on Shaanxi, Yanyan and Guanzhong Plain, which had already been occupied.

It was already evening, and the endless golden camp gradually calmed down from the noise of the day. Most of the soldiers, except for the vigilant troops, rested in their tents. The various large camps, except for the occasional bonfire, had been plunged into darkness.

But the lights were still bright in the tent. The minister of state, who was really in power in the Dajin Kingdom, was sitting on the tent, carefully reading a military report by the dim light of the fire. This was sent from Yan'an, and he said in the military newspaper that the two armies of Baoan and Suide took advantage of the geographical advantage to resist stubbornly, and the troops fought very hard, and the losses were very large. It is hoped that some men and horses will be transferred from Chang'an to support.

This request made Sticky Han embarrassed for a while, and now was the critical moment of the Song-Jin negotiations, how could he withdraw his troops from Chang'an? No matter what, we must wait until the Song-Jin negotiations have a general eyebrow to calculate, to put it bluntly, when will the Southern Dynasty agree to cede the Yanyan, Shaanxi-Hua, and Guanzhong Plains, and the Jin army will be able to evacuate Chang'an.

Putting down the military report, Sticky Han got up and walked out of the tent, stretching his waist. Looking at Chang'an at night ahead, I can only vaguely see the majestic shadow. Alas, it is a great pity that he did not defeat Chang'an City and extinguish Xu Wei's prestige. To be honest, the Purple Gold Tiger, although it is always the enemy of Dajin, makes people hate it. But admittedly, this young man does have some skills. Among the generals of the Southern Dynasty, he is unique, and this time he did not lose him, and he will still be a fierce roadblock in the future. However, if you can get the Southern Dynasty to recognize Dajin's occupation of Lianghe, Shandong, and eastern Shaanxi, and send a large sum of money, it will be worth the trip. After he returns, he will not be inferior to the record of the vultures. As long as you can gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi, what Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng, and Xihe will not be able to capture in the future? No matter how powerful the Purple Gold Tiger is, their emperors all nodded and ceded the land of the city, what can he do?

Yawning, Mu Han seemed to be a little tired, turned around and entered the tent, lay down on the bed, pulled a quilt with unknown animal skin to cover half of his body, and fell into a deep sleep.

It was late at night, and the company camp for dozens of miles was silent. The rangers had already returned to the camp, and even the watchtowers squatted down and took a nap with their instruments. The bonfire was still burned, the flames were flickering, and the night seemed to be no different from before, everything was too normal to be normal.

The third watch has passed, and the night is like a fierce beast in Chang'an City, and there is no abnormality. But suddenly, there seemed to be some movement at the Hongwen Gate in Nancheng, and after a while, there was a sound from the gate, and with this sound, the suspension bridge slowly fell. A dark shadow streamed out of the city, no one spoke, not even his breathing and footsteps were intentionally controlled. The men and horses in front had already crossed the moat, and there were still people coming out of the city behind.

In the night, I couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, but occasionally I could find a pair of vigilant eyes shining brightly. The infantry held on to their equipment and marched forward in an orderly manner, while the cavalry led the horses and followed unhurriedly. Zhang Xian looked ahead, only to see mountains-like black shadows abounding. He knew that it was the cannonstone piled up by the Jin army.

On October days, the night was already cold, but the soldiers seemed to have a fire burning in their chests, and it was not only because of the Zhuangxing wine they had drunk earlier. This long snake, composed of various arms, advanced unhurriedly towards the golden camp under the protection of night, silently. As they advanced, everywhere else, friendly forces were preparing to support them. As long as Zhang Xian makes a move along the way, the troops of Yang Yan, Wu Lan, Ma Tai and other generals will also be launched. On a battle line dozens of miles long, it is necessary to see whether it is sticky and cold.

After a while, the shadow of Jinying could already be faintly seen. Zhang Xian duly ordered the troops to stop advancing. Although Li Guan found out the location of Li Zhi's camp, it was night after all, and it was difficult to accurately find the location of Li Jun's position from the patches of company camps by relying on his eyesight. Before leaving, the marshal repeatedly explained that Li Jun was the weak link in the Jin army and must start from him. If you accidentally bump into other troops, the outcome will be difficult to say.

After the troops stopped, Zhang Xian went to the front and cautiously scanned the front. He was waiting for a signal to blend in with the villagers' small village. Li Zhi surrounded the people outside his camp, apparently to prevent anyone from touching the camp. Even if he encounters an attack, with these worthless civilians in front of him, he will have time to react in the back.

However, Li was too smart. Water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, and the villagers' small villages can cover you or destroy you! These civilians, who have not been on the battlefield and have not been trained, will panic at the slightest disturbance, and when the time comes, they will ...... "What's going on?" The hour has come and there is still no movement? Was there something wrong? One of the heads of Xu Wei's pro-army muttered in a low voice.

Zhang Xian ignored him, and a pair of eyes still looked ahead from time to time, looking for abnormalities.

Suddenly! There was a faint light ahead! The head of the capital whispered, "Do it!" ”

Zhang Xian didn't move, he had to confirm that this was a signal agreed in advance! The light is getting brighter and brighter, and there are more and more places where it shines! Finally, I finally saw the fire burning in front of me near the northeast!
