After Miao Fu reported the battle plan to the imperial court, he changed the deployment of troops again, canceled the three-line deployment, and concentrated the 70,000-strong army on the eastern front, that is, on the west bank of the canal, and built a large camp with a wall, which was about 35 miles away from Li Yanqing's military camp.

At this time, the two armies had been facing each other for seven days, and at this moment, news began to circulate among the army that Li Yanqing's 50,000-strong army had landed in Shaoxing Mansion, and this news made the army panic.

In particular, there are many Shaoxing soldiers in the army, which has a greater impact on them, and the rear that was originally thought to be the safest is no longer safe, and they will face front and rear attacks, and the military heart began to waver in various discussions.

At dusk, Miao Fu received a gold medal order from Zhao Ji, ordering him to attack immediately, defeat Li Yanqing's main force and retreat.

This order made Miao Fu a little crazy, who said that taking the initiative to attack could defeat Li Yanqing's army?

Inside the big tent, Miao Fu paced back and forth restlessly, he wanted to resist Zhao Ji's order, but he couldn't resist, he could only try to convince himself that maybe the emperor's order was a political balance that he couldn't understand.

Oh, yes! He really couldn't understand that from a military point of view, since Li Yanqing had landed from Shaoxing Mansion, the best way was for the whole army to withdraw to Lin'an City and stick to Lin'an City, so that the meaning of the landing in Shaoxing Mansion could be easily cracked.

"General, maybe the Emperor Taishang thinks that Lin'an City can't be defended! Especially on the side of the palace, a single fire can burn the mountain. Adjutant General Zhang Quan said cautiously on the side.

Miao Fu didn't say anything, Zhang Quan's words reminded him, of course Li Yanqing didn't dare to set fire to the mountain, but Phoenix Mountain really can't hold it, Phoenix Mountain is now surrounded by walls and no city walls, Li Yanqing can easily attack Phoenix Mountain and occupy the palace, and Yinlong Villa can't hold it, once Li Yanqing's fleet breaks into the West Lake, Lin'an City will basically fall.

Miao Fu let out a long sigh, he now finally admitted that the emperor's order was also a kind of helplessness, hoping that he could defeat Li Yanqing.

Miao Fu immediately ordered that all the commanders should immediately assemble in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he was going to deploy the battle plan.

..........

Li Yanqing's barracks were also built into a board wall, and the wall-type barracks had many advantages, of course, being solid and sturdy was the main aspect, and another advantage was that it increased the defensive surface.

In the past, there were two main layers of defense on the front of the barracks, one was that the soldiers stood in front of the barracks to shoot arrows to the outside, and the second was to stand behind the barracks and shoot arrows over the barracks.

The slab-walled barracks allow soldiers to stand on the top of the wall to defend condescendingly, and there is a shooting hole below for defense, and there is an arrow array behind to shoot arrows outward, so that three defensive surfaces are formed.

As night fell, Li Yanqing also began to deploy his army, Cao Meng's 30,000 cavalry had already sent a large battalion, and he also deployed 30,000 crossbowmen and fifty small trebuchets on the board wall.

Now that the news of Cao Sheng's army landing in Shaoxing Mansion has reached Lin'an Mansion, Miao Fu's main army will inevitably take action, either to attack him at night, or to withdraw to Lin'an City overnight.

Time passed little by little, and gradually came to the first watch, at this time, the scouts came to report that the main force of the enemy army, about 40,000 people, appeared ten miles away, and was rapidly killing the main camp.

Li Yanqing sneered and said to the surrounding generals: "I thought that Miao Fu would be the whole army on it!" As a result, I still left some capital at home. ”

Gao Zhong smiled: "If the sneak attack is successful, 30,000 people will be enough to annihilate us." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, this is true, the sneak attack is originally an adventure with small profits and big profits, once the sneak attack is successful, using fire to attack and kick the camp, even 10,000 cavalry can completely annihilate 100,000 troops, but once the sneak attack fails, there will be no return.

"Now that the enemy is here, let's get ready to fight!"

"Obey!"

Everyone saluted, and then walked out of the big tent and rushed to their respective combat positions.

Li Yanqing also got out of the big tent of the Chinese army and climbed onto the viewing platform.

The viewing platform is located in the south of the camp, it is a three-zhang high wooden platform, which was originally used by the generals to command the army to train the high platform, once the war breaks out, standing on the viewing platform, you can also observe the situation outside the camp and command the army to fight.

The command of night battles is mainly based on the sound of war drums, and the battle flag does not play a role, so a hundred large drums are deployed under the viewing platform, ready to send orders through the drums at any time, and there are also bangs next to the drums, and the drummers hurriedly beat the bangzi is the order to shoot arrows.

A quarter of an hour later, Miao Fu led an army of 45,000 to a distance of 500 paces from the camp.

At this time, the outlying outposts spotted the incoming enemy troops and fired gunpowder arrows into the air, burning one after another in the sky.

Miao Fu knew that he couldn't delay any longer at this time, so he could only fight desperately, and the enemy army was caught off guard, so he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The 40,000-strong army roared like the tide of Hangzhou Bay, killing the enemy's camp hundreds of paces away, and at the forefront were 3,000 cavalrymen, who held long ropes and swords, and galloped on horseback.

Li Yanqing didn't expect that all the enemy troops would rush to the southern camp, which disrupted his deployment, and he immediately shouted: "Order the crossbowmen on both sides of the east and west to rush to the southern camp immediately!" ”

Fifteen thousand crossbowmen were deployed within the high walls of the South Battalion, including 10,000 divine arm crossbows and 5,000 ordinary crossbows, and 15,000 men were deployed on the wall, in front of the firing under the wall, and in the arrow array behind the row, as well as fifty small trebuchets with a range of 80 paces.

At this time, the enemy cavalry had already taken the lead in rushing into a hundred paces range, and the infantry behind had also entered a hundred and fifty paces range. ”

The sound of bangzi suddenly sounded, and 15,000 soldiers fired arrows outside the camp at the same time, and 15,000 arrows were like a black and oppressive dark cloud, overwhelmingly shooting at the rushing soldiers, and the arrows shot into the infantry group like a storm, and suddenly screamed loudly, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the momentum of the attack suddenly stopped.

But Li Yanqing didn't care about the 3,000 cavalry in front, the crossbowman's target was the infantry group behind, and the 3,000 cavalry were not affected by the rain of arrows at all, they continued to run wildly, and they were less than thirty steps away from the main camp.

At this moment, several torches were thrown, fell into the trench, boom, the fire rushed to the sky, a sea of fire suddenly ignited in the trench, forming a wall of fire as wide as one zhang, the war horses were terrified, they raised their hooves and stopped, at this moment, fifty swarthy earth-shattering thunderbolts flew out of the camp, over the heads of the cavalry, fell into the cavalry formation, a series of explosions up, suddenly people turned their horses on their backs, a piece of cavalry fell, the earth-shattering explosion startled the war horses to neigh, the war horses were seriously frightened, and they turned around and ran wildly.

The black-pressed arrows were fired again, and they rained down like a storm on the enemy troops........

At the same moment when the sneak attack of Miao Fu's army was blocked, 10,000 cavalry had quietly appeared two miles south of the new forbidden army camp, and they were not in a hurry to attack, but waited patiently for the signal.

Although Miao Fu led an army of 45,000 to attack Li Yanqing's camp, the more than 20,000 soldiers he left in the camp were not sleeping, they were nervously packing up, and once the news of the failure of the camp came, the 25,000 troops immediately withdrew to Lin'an City.

At this moment, a strange army suddenly appeared on the north side of the main camp, numbering about three thousand men, in a row of hundreds, in a row of thirty, with swords in hand, and walking neatly towards the large camp five hundred paces away.

A patrol post had already discovered them and rushed back to the barracks to report to Zhang Quan, the commander who stayed behind.

Zhang Quan became nervous, and immediately mobilized 10,000 crossbowmen to rush to the north camp wall to block this strange infantry phalanx.

The three thousand heavy armored infantry were neatly formed, and they had already walked more than a hundred steps away, and Zhang Quan shouted, "Bow and arrow ready, release!" ”

At the sound of the order, 10,000 arrows rose into the air and shot at the heavy infantry, and 3,000 infantry met the arrows, and the arrows clanged on them, and they fell to the ground one after another, but not a single soldier was shot down, and the phalanx continued to move forward.

Zhang Quan panicked and ordered again, "Shoot again!" ”

At this moment, there was a continuous explosion sound in the distance, Zhang Quan's heart suddenly cooled half, they were not equipped with earth-shattering thunder, this must be a sneak attack on the enemy camp and encountered resistance.

Seeing that the arrows could not destroy this strange infantry, Zhang Quan shouted, "Spearmen attack!" ”

The barracks door was wide open, and 10,000 spearmen were killed, and at the same time, someone in the distance sounded a horn, "Woo-"

The sound of the horn was an order, and the 10,000 cavalry in the south were launched, and they rushed to the large camp two miles away like a lightning speed, and rushed to the front of them in a moment, and there were no soldiers guarding the southern camp, and the cavalry group slaughtered into the main camp like a flood, killing the more than 15,000 crossbowmen who remained in the main camp.

Zhang Quan suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and he transferred the spearmen out of the camp, and the remaining crossbowmen could only be slaughtered by the cavalry.

He was full of remorse in his heart, and shouted: "Go and report to General Miao quickly, our camp has been attacked, let him withdraw his troops immediately!" ”
