Chapter 194: Spy Leader
Murder and heartbreaking!
At this time, in Yangzhou City, chickens and dogs jumped, and the people were panicked. As a result of the panic, thousands of people were trampled to death; and stormed the city gate, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded by the Bazi Army. There were more than a dozen robberies in the city. And the Jin army only had a few dozen cavalry, slipped around a few times outside, and then withdrew
The Jin army was arrogant, but not arrogant enough to use dozens of horsemen to break through Yangzhou, mainly responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy.
………………
When night came, the Jin army also arrived at the city of Yangzhou.
There were relatively few soldiers and horses in the Jin army, only 7,000 cavalry, one man and three horses. At this time, most of them were stationed in Beicheng, and the soldiers were eyeing Yangzhou. The war horses neighed, and they simply arranged to camp and rested.
"This battle is not easy to fight!"
Wanyan evacuated and looked at the armor on the city wall, and his face showed surprise. This surprise attack on Yangzhou, in line with the cavalry rushing to the city, took advantage of the city gate was not opened, and then captured the city gate in one fell swoop. Since the city gate is lost, the people in the city will be panicked, and the soldiers will be demoralized, and finally abandon the city and flee, then he only needs to chase and kill like a leaf in the autumn wind, and he will win a great victory.
If you are lucky, you will catch the emperor of the Song Dynasty; If you are unlucky, you can also catch some of the courtiers of the puppet dynasty.
Just approached the vicinity of Yangzhou, the Jin army scouts engaged the Song army, and after a long fierce battle, the Song army scouts were reasonable, but the tail was left. Before a Song army scout died, he ignited a rocket, and suddenly a dazzling spark, a huge sound alarmed Baili, and also made Song Jun notice.
If you want to surprise attack, it's no longer possible.
When the soldiers approached the city of Yangzhou, they did not see the people fleeing in panic, but saw the murderous soldiers of the Song army, who had lost the best opportunity to seize the city gate and capture the entire Yangzhou city.
And what surprised him even more was that there was a large camp outside the city, towering outside the city.
When the Jin army approached the city, this Song army did not withdraw to the city, but was still stationed outside the city, which surprised him - everywhere the Jin army went, there were many people who abandoned the city and fled, many people surrendered without a fight, and there were very few people who could live in the city and defend it. But only this Song army was extremely strange, there was no city to enter, and it stayed outside the city in a big way, confronting the Jin army.
A troop was once sent to test the details, but the result was that hundreds of people were killed and wounded, and they left in a panic.
It seems that the camp is not large, the internal design is extremely tight, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the fences are dense, layer by layer, layer by layer, connected with each other, without a trace of flaw. Under the strong attack, even if it is an army of tens of thousands, it is difficult to break through.
This made Wanyan evacuate and vigilant, this is a strong army, the strength is very strong, and there is no room for negligence, once negligence is the light is a big defeat and returns, and the heavy is the annihilation of the whole army. As soon as he thought of Wan Yan Ye's death, Wan Yan evacuated and was angry in his heart, this was the first Jin Army general to die since the Song Dynasty.
When night fell, in the handsome tent, Wanyan evacuated and sat on the handsome chair, looked at the plain-clothed man sitting on the side, and asked, "Suyi, how is the situation in Yangzhou?" ”
"Very bad! This time, our army went south, originally planning to encourage the people to flee, attack the soldiers defending the city, and make our army enter Yangzhou smoothly! It's a pity that the Song army was too cunning, blocked all the city gates in advance, leaving only one city gate, and sent crossbowmen to guard it. My plan fell through! This plain-clothed man is the top spy commander of the Jin Kingdom, and he is most familiar with the situation in Yangzhou, "Yangzhou is difficult to break!" ”
He was wearing plain clothes, so he called him plain clothes. The real name, except for a few high-level officials, is no longer known. This time, all the information of the Jin army was provided by Su Yi, from the city defense, army layout, general information, etc., all of which were very carefully informed to the Jin army, so that the Jin army was able to destroy the withering and decaying and attack fiercely.
He has always played the role of the ears and eyes of the Jin Army.
"Difficult to break?" Wanyan evacuated and said, "My Dajin national strength is weak, it is difficult to support the expedition for too long, and now it has been more than half a year of fierce fighting, I have captured countless cities, and I have obtained a lot of food, gold and silver, but the fly in the ointment is that this emperor of the Song Dynasty ran away." This time, we must capture the Emperor of the Song Kingdom! ”
"He's not that easy to take!" Su Yi's face flashed with worry, "This new emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu, is different from his father's cowardice, and also different from his brother's hesitation, he has a resolute character, dares to fight, and in the face of strong enemies, he is never afraid, and he is always able to move forward bravely; And once the situation is not good, he can evacuate in time and quickly save his life. He can sacrifice flexibility for the sake of principles, and he can sacrifice principles for the sake of flexibility! It's really hard to entangle, relying on a surprise attack, it's hard to get him at all. If you want to capture and kill him, you can only completely destroy him by gathering the army of the middle road and the army of the east road and attacking together! ”
Wan Yan withdrew and said, "Is that Song Dynasty emperor really that powerful?" ”
"Today, Zhao Pu, the emperor of the Song State, is only seventeen years old and has not yet reached adulthood, but he is extremely experienced in politics, and the most terrifying thing is that he has established a powerful army............ "Su Yi began to tell the story of the eight-character army's military experience and combat effectiveness." At this time, the eight-character army was still short in formation, and its combat effectiveness was still limited, so it was not the opponent of our Jurchen army. But once Zhao Pu expanded the eight-character army to 100,000, 200,000, it would be my girl's nightmare at that time! ”
"At that time, there were only 8,000 people in the Eight-Character Army, and they dared to march day and night, marching thousands of miles in a hurry, appearing in the rear of our army, and attacking the grain transportation team, which was the first battle!"
"Second, General Lou Mu, in order to exterminate him, he personally attacked, but he was dragged by him, and he couldn't advance or retreat, and in the end he could only retreat!"
"Later, our army attacked Bianliang, and the 150,000 army consumed a huge amount of grain and grass at that time. However, he led the Bazi Army to attack our army's grain transportation team, resulting in a shortage of food and grass for our army, and had to evacuate from Bianliang! ”
"And recently, after calculating our army, General Wanyan Ye was killed by him, and his body fell, and five thousand elite cavalry were killed!"
"At this moment, it is impossible to break through Yangzhou, it is best to attack the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou to contain the Bazi Army. Once the Bazi Army withdraws from Yangzhou, or rescues other states and counties, then the opportunity for our army will come, and it is best to annihilate him in the suburbs. Our army is good at cavalry warfare and cavalry shooting, while the Song army is good at bows and crossbows, and is good at defending the city, as long as it leaves Yangzhou, it will be enough to annihilate it at that time! ”
Wanyan evacuated and said: "Our army is alone in the depths, once it is surrounded by the Song army, the situation is not good at that time." Moreover, the Song army is strong and clear, and our army's capture is limited, and a long-term stalemate is not good for our army! ”
This is a surprise battle, to end in a short time, not a stalemate.
At this moment, fighting in the hinterland of the Song army, there will be no reinforcements in a short period of time, and it is destined to be a lone army, and it is very dangerous to face the Song army surrounded from all sides.
