Chapter 177: General Battle
Lin Yuan arranged for Zhu Yuanzhang's Guanning Iron Cavalry to be temporarily stationed in the camp in the west of the city.
The food was fully available and they were left open to eat.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da and other generals, they began to survey the terrain outside Lin'an City.
Soon, night fell.
The golden barracks outside the city, bonfires are all over the mountains and fields, and in the past few days, there are more and more golden soldiers gathered.
In the golden-roofed tent of the Chinese army.
Wanyan Zongbi was pale, lying on the bed, and he was still wearing a mink on his body.
I saw that he was holding a letter in his hand at the moment, thoughtful.
And it didn't take long for Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Lou Room, and Wanyan Zongbi's son-in-law Su Shilie Zhining to all come to the big tent.
"Marshal, what is the important thing that you summoned us here late at night?"
"Lin Yuan, the king of Chujiang in the Song Dynasty, sent someone to deliver a letter......"
"Hahaha, he just wants to surrender now? Why did you go early! This time, we must give these Song people a little bit of a taste, after the city of Lin'an is breached, half of the people in the city will be killed! ”
It was Yan Xiyin who interrupted Yan Zongbi.
Wanyan Xiyin's triangular eyes were fierce and murderous.
The other three generals are also ruthless.
"In recent years, the Song people have indeed been rampant a lot, and they have been provoking my Dajin Kingdom!"
"Yes, you must thwart the arrogance of the Song people!"
"Before we came, His Majesty had ordered that we must kill this Lin Yuan and return all the insults he brought to my Dajin Kingdom!"
"Generals!" Wanyan Zongbi interrupted everyone's heated discussion and said, "Lin Ziyi sent someone to send it, it's a war book!" ”
"He agreed that in three days, he would start a general battle with our army!"
"What? Afternoon? ”
Wanyan Xiyin almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked puzzled.
When he took the letter and read it himself, he was immediately furious.
War book: Wait for Hu Yi, three days later, he will die outside the city of Lin'an!
In just 13 words, all the generals in the Golden Horde were immediately furious.
"This Lin Yuan is too arrogant!"
"He thinks that if he holds Lin'an City for a few days, he will be able to block our 100,000 Meng'an escort army?"
"He must be killed!"
Wanyan Zongbi looked at the other four generals, he was angry, but he calmed down.
Ever since he received this letter, he has been wondering, why did Lin Yuan write a war letter?
A few days ago, he had already felt the strength of the defenders of Lin'an City clearly.
In Lin'an City, there are only 100,000 forbidden troops that can fight now.
100,000 forbidden troops are absolutely impossible to stop 100,000 Meng'an escort troops.
Could it be that he has other hidden forces?
It's not impossible!
Or is there some kind of conspiracy?
Wanyan Zongbi couldn't be sure for a while what kind of medicine was being sold in Lin Yuan's gourd.
He shared his concerns with the other four.
Wanyan Xiyin just snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about Wushu, there are only 100,000 defenders in Lin'an City, even if there are 100,000 more, they are not our opponents!" ”
"We have 800,000 servant troops, even if we don't use 100,000 Meng'an escort troops, we can still set foot in Lin'an City!"
"Anyway, it's better to be careful!"
……
Lin Yuan issued a battle letter and began to prepare frantically.
There were only 100,000 people left in the forbidden army, and more than half of them were low-ranking ordinary soldiers.
He needs the elite now, the elite of the elite.
The elite of the forbidden army, the heavy axe envoys, the fierce horsemen of the tiger holding the sun, and the crossbowmen of the enemy gods, were all drawn out, less than 13,000 people.
If you add Zhao Yun's 10,000 white horse retinues, the strength is only 23,000 people, which is not enough for a battalion.
However, this time the battle was mainly because Lin Yuan wanted to see the power of the Ming Dynasty's Guanning Iron Cavalry, so the main battle force was Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, not his forbidden army.
After Zhu Yuanzhang received the notice, he just nodded and didn't say anything.
He just asked Lin Yuan for a batch of supplies, and asked the Guanning Iron Cavalry to make the final preparations before the war.
Everyone knows that this is going to be a tough battle!
The outcome is unknown, so it's up to three days later.
Soon, three days passed in a flash.
The day of the Great War has arrived.
Lin Yuan dispatched the forbidden army early in the morning and went out of the city to occupy an important place.
Except for the elite forbidden army, he didn't bring any of the other ordinary forbidden troops, and all of them stayed on the city wall to defend the city.
The army he brought out of the city was 30,000.
The army of 30,000 was in the field outside Lin'an City, and set up a formation, divided into left, center and right.
The left flank is a cavalry unit composed of white horses and horses.
The Chinese army is an infantry battalion composed of side armor soldiers, heavy axe envoys, and crossbowmen who defeat the enemy.
As for the right wing, it was completely handed over to the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
The Jin soldiers on the opposite side are also in a good position.
Their number was ten or dozens of times that of Lin Yuan's side.
The soldiers stood all over the hills, colorful.
These were servant troops, numbering at least more than 500,000.
The part of the Chinese army is the elite troops of the Jin Kingdom, and the Meng'an escort army!
Wanyan Zongbi's handsome banner, together with the other four-pole general flags, were all in the middle army, protected in the middle like the stars and the moon.
"Hahaha, it's only tens of thousands! Lin Yuan of the Song Dynasty, didn't he think that he could win more with less today? ”
"There are more than 600,000 of our army, and they can be drowned if they are drowned!"
"Generals, don't be careless!" Wanyan Zongbi reminded.
"The marshal is too worried! The last general asked for his life, led 10,000 Meng'an escort troops, and went to test it! "Su Shi Lie Zhining is young and vigorous, and he even took the initiative to ask for help.
"No!" Wanyan Zongbi shook his head, "Let's send the servant army to test their combat power!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the banner officer next to him moved, and a servant cavalry unit came out.
This servant cavalry, numbering about 10,000 men.
The servant cavalry roared away.
Lin Yuan saw that the opposite side had sent an army to test it, and immediately looked at Yang Ye.
Yang Ye understood and immediately led 3,000 white horses to intercept him.
The two sides quickly rushed together.
3,000 white horses followed suite, like a white torrent, pushing back the 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side.
These servant cavalry were completely unstoppable, and the formation was quickly chaotic.
After dropping a corpse, they scattered and fled.
Yinshuke, Wanyan Lou Room, and Su Shi Lie Zhining were all taken aback.
"This white horse cavalry, such a strong combat power!"
"Hmph, Lin Ziyi relied on this white horse cavalry to attack the camp at night and capture Wan Yan!" Wanyan Xiyin was in a very bad mood when he saw Bai Ma Yicong.
Yinshuke frowned, "How many people are there in this white horse cavalry?" ”
"About 10,000!"
Fu Shi Lie Zhining's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of joy.
"Give me 20,000 Meng'an escort troops, and I can completely annihilate this white horse cavalry!"
"Good!" Wanyan Zongbi nodded and made a decision: "Zhining, you will lead 20,000 escort troops to destroy this white horse cavalry for me, and breathe a sigh of relief for Wanyan Yan!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Su Shi Lie Zhining shouted loudly, and directly led 20,000 Meng'an escort troops to rush towards Lin Yuan's position.
