Chapter 167: Negotiation
The army seized the weapons of the remaining 4,200 escorts and 3,000 archers and horses.
Under the escort of a group of white horse righteous servants, they came to Lin'an City.
Along the way, there were constant attempts to escape from the ranks.
Unfortunately, none of these people succeeded.
Bai Ma Yicong is an archer, how can he escape under the noses of tens of thousands of archers.
A group of people, Haohao Tangtang arrived at the city of Lin'an.
The soldiers defending the city had already seen the captive army, and they cheered and opened the city gate to let Lin Yuan enter the city.
And just after Lin Yuan entered the city, a group of Biao cavalry rushed to Dongying Village to support.
Seeing that there was fire light everywhere in the camp, and it was a messy appearance, Wanyan Xiyin's eyes were cold.
"Your Excellency, there are a large number of corpses of our army lying in the camp, as well as the corpses of enemy troops, and His Royal Highness Wan Yan has not been found, but a large number of horseshoe marks have been found, perhaps His Highness has broken through!"
Wanyan Xiyin did not speak.
Years of experience on the march had taught him that the extent of the camp's chaos, the abundance of scuffles, and the last horseshoe prints were by no means the result of a breakout.
If he didn't guess wrong, Wan Yan was captured alive by the locality.
The thought of this made the anger in his heart like a volcano erupting, uncontrollable.
"Bring up the fleeing servants!"
Soon, several servants and soldiers were escorted to Wanyan Xiyin's side.
"Tell me what's going on!"
The servant army had already been frightened, and at this time, when Wanyan Xiyin shouted again, he was immediately frightened and kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Spare your life, General!"
"Enemy, the enemy's cavalry is too much, we can't resist it at all, even the escort army of Lord Wanyan Can't do anything with that cavalry!"
After Yan Xiyin listened, he frowned.
The adjutant general beside him immediately understood, and stepped forward to hack several servant sergeants to death.
Wanyan Xiyin couldn't find Wanyan Yan, and he was in a very bad mood.
So, he directly led the cavalry, followed the horseshoe prints of the brigade, and rushed towards the east gate of Lin'an City.
It's just that when they got to the bottom of the city, they were blocked by a moat.
Moreover, if he took one step further, the city would immediately be full of arrows.
Wanyan Xiyin waited for a while, and Wanyan Zongbi finally arrived with his army.
"Seventh Uncle, where is Yan Yan?"
Wanyan Xiyin had a cold face and replied, "I was captured alive!" ”
"What!" Wanyan Zongbi was shocked, and his expression was still a little puzzled.
Wan Yan Xiyin explained: "You're right, Lin Yuan has some means, I underestimated him, he grasped the timing of his sneak attack very well, and he was able to succeed in one fell swoop and capture Yan Yan alive!" ”
"It's just that I can't figure it out, and his timing is inevitably too accurate, as if he knew in advance that we would divide our troops!"
"Moreover, he can accurately find Wanyan in an army of more than 100,000 people, which is really weird and puzzling!"
Wanyan Zongbi took a deep breath and said, "I think what we should think about now is how to rescue Wanyan from Lin Yuan's hands." You should know that Wan Yan was cultivated by His Majesty, and he is the next generation of my Dajin lord! ”
"That's why I'm bothered about it." Wan Yan Xiyin frowned, "If the news of Wan Yan Yan being captured alive spreads, my Dajin's face will be lost!" ”
Wanyan Zongbi said: "It seems that we can only defeat Lin'an City and rescue him." ”
Wanyan Xiyin nodded in agreement.
The two looked at the tall walls of Lin'an City again, reluctantly withdrew their gaze, and led their troops back to their respective camps.
Let's talk about Lin Yuan's side.
After capturing Wan Yan alive and returning to the city, the entire forbidden army cheered up and down, and the army's heart was in a big array.
In this battle, although Cheng Min lost 1,000 handfuls of Japan, the hearty victory he won could not be described in words.
In short, they completely defeated the enemy's 200,000 army in this battle.
This kind of battle of winning more with less was very rare in the Song Dynasty.
Lin Yuan's ability also made these forbidden army generals admired from the bottom of their hearts.
The morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and strong confidence was injected into the next war.
In this battle, Lin Yuan's losses were not small.
In addition to the loss of the Japanese **, his white horse Yicong lost 2,000 people again.
There were originally 15,000 white horse followers, but all of a sudden there were only 10,000 left.
Lin Yuan was very heartbroken when he arrived.
Sure enough, although the white horse is powerful, it is not invincible.
After all, it's just a sixth-order archer.
There are too many cavalry that can match it, and there are too many dynasties.
Fortunately, he has also gained a lot.
In addition to Wan Yan Yan, he also captured 4,200 Hezha Meng'an escorts.
This seventh-order heavy armored cavalry has more powerful combat power than the Japanese **.
In addition to this, there are 3,000 archers and kidnappers.
After entering Lin'an City, the two surrendered troops were stripped of their armor by Lin Yuan, and all of them were concentrated in the camp in the east of the city, guarded by 1,000 heavy axe envoys.
The next day, a letter came in from outside the city.
It was written by Wan Yan Zongbi.
The content of the letter is very simple, it is to meet Lin Yuanyuan.
Lin Yuan directly agreed.
So, the two sides agreed to talk on the north city gate.
Lin Yuan came to the north city gate, and Wanyan Zongbi had already been waiting under the city for a long time.
"King Chu Jiang, you attacked Yan Kang's camp last night, it wasn't the husband's doing, quickly release Yan Kang, otherwise our army will attack the city immediately, and the city will be broken in half a day!"
"Jin Wushu, you TM ate garlic early in the morning, and your breath is so big!"
Lin Yuan squirted wildly at Wanyan Zongbi under the city.
"Wan Yan Yan is my defeated subordinate, and the next generation leader of your Dajin Kingdom is not bad! Want me to let him go? There's no need for that, because you'll be captured alive by me soon! ”
"You ......" Yan Zongbi was almost angry by Lin Yuanji.
However, he has experienced a lot, seen a lot of big things, and soon calmed down.
"King Chujiang, this is my advice to you, after letting Yan Yan go, and going out of the city to surrender, I can ask Emperor Dajin to crown you as the new Emperor of Song, how about it?"
"Jin Wushu, I'm good at everything, but my bones are too hard, I can't grovel and treat others as sons, I refuse your conditions!"
"In that case, there can only be war!"
"If there is a war, there will be a war, who is afraid of whom!"
"Don't regret it, once Lin'an City is captured by me, I will definitely slaughter the city!"
"Let's wait until you take it!"
The two talked for the first time and broke up unhappily.
Lin Yuan saw Yan Zongbi leave, and knew that this person would definitely not give up and would definitely attack the city.
Therefore, he ordered all the soldiers of the forbidden army to strengthen the patrol of the city wall.
Wanyan Zongbi returned to the camp, and Wanyan Xiyin also came.
"How's it going?"
"As expected, oil and salt don't enter!"
"Since that's the case, then don't wait, just order the siege!"
"Well, there's only one way!"
