Chapter 571: Tentative Attack
"What do the Song people say? What is the reality of the city? Wan Yan Han was taken to the handsome tent as soon as he returned to the camp, Wan Yan Zonghan had already guessed one or two from his expression, and couldn't help but ask eagerly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's a big deal compared to the last few days." Wan Yan Han frowned and replied, "After entering the city, let alone seeing the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, even Sun Fu, Tang Ke and others can't see me, and they left me in the post house all day, and today someone took me to Honglu Temple to see a little master." ”
"Are these southern barbarians really not afraid of death?" The grumpy Wanyan Lou Room immediately slapped the table and shouted, in his opinion, this was a great insult to the Jurchen warriors.
"So those heavenly soldiers are real?" Wanyan Yin Xi saw more things from it, if he didn't get strong assistance, how could Zhao Huan dare to treat Wanyan Han like this?
"The Song people are very wary of me, from the beginning of the city wall to the entry of the post house, I only saw the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army and a few squad guards along the way, but I have never seen those people and horses on the head of the city the day before yesterday." Wan Yan Han replied truthfully, "After entering the post house, the Song people immediately sent soldiers and horses to surround it, isolating the inside and outside, and it was not until late at night that the Ceres Lord came to deliver the news, according to what he said, this time Guo Jing summoned 50,000 heavenly soldiers under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Bianliang people, so Song suddenly became so tough, in addition to this, he also summoned a heavenly general, this heavenly general held a big axe, and killed ten Jurchen warriors in a row on the school field, and the day before yesterday he was guarding Guo Jing's side, and the man in black armor was. ”
"Fifty thousand horses?" Hearing this number, there was a brief silence in the tent, it was definitely a force that had always been enough to change the situation on the entire battlefield, if they were all as good at fighting as the soldiers who suddenly appeared the day before, then with the 150,000 troops in their hands, they would not be able to break through Bianliang City in any way.
"Don't worry too much about it." Wanyan Sect saw that everyone's faces were grim, so he persuaded him, "The day before yesterday, I looked at those soldiers, although they were skilled in martial arts and had a degree of advance and retreat, but they seemed to be foot soldiers, and there were few cavalry, if so, they could only make some efforts to defend the city, and I am afraid that there is no need to worry about the field battle." ”
"That's true." Thinking carefully about the soldiers they saw at the head of the city that day, it seemed that they were just as Wanyan Zongwang said, and everyone turned their eyes to Wanyan Handai, hoping to get definite news from him.
"Lord Ceres's subordinates also said that although he saw a lot of war horses in the school yard that day, these war horses were all pulling carts, and only a few soldiers rode horses, perhaps scouts." On this issue, it is carefully deceived that Wan Yan Han brought it, the Qi family army is divided into four parts: the car battalion, the baggage battalion, the horse battalion, and the infantry battalion, and it also has a large number of cavalry, and these cavalry have a large number of firearms like the infantry, but now the Jin people are very satisfied with Wan Yan Han's answer.
This is not to blame them, because the land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Lingxia has been occupied by the Khitan and Dangxiang people for a long time, and it is extremely difficult for the Great Song Dynasty, which lacks these two horse-producing lands, to obtain war horses, coupled with the corruption of the imperial court and the waste of horse administration, the Dian horses from the southwest are too short to be war horses, so the army of the Song Dynasty has always been dominated by infantry and lacks large-scale cavalry; For a long time, these alien races mistakenly thought that the Central Plains did not produce cavalry, so they really thought that the Qi family army had no cavalry.
"If this is the case, luring these soldiers and horses out of the field outside the city will definitely break the enemy in one fell swoop." Wanyan Zonghan thought that he had found a strategy to break the enemy, "Even if they have sharp armor, they will definitely not be the opponent of my Jurchen warriors when they go to the wilderness." ”
In the battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jin soldiers broke the 700,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State with 20,000 troops, and after this battle, the myth of "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible", so even if there were occasional small setbacks the day before yesterday, the Jurchens were still full of confidence in their combat effectiveness, and now the only thing that worries them is how to lure the Song army out of the city.
"Don't rush to lure them out of the city for the time being." Wanyan Zonghan is a long-term general, of course, he is not willing to recklessly carry out a decisive battle, although he probably has not read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but he still understands the truth of "knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible in a hundred battles", "Before that, we must thoroughly explore the details of these newly emerged soldiers and horses." ”
"Thinking about it, I'm afraid that the detailed work in the city is not easy to get out of the city, and with their skills, I'm afraid they won't be able to see through the details of these soldiers and horses." Stopping Yan Han's interjection, Wan Yan Zonghan continued, "But as long as they go out to fight, the details will always be revealed, and the siege will start again early tomorrow morning, let us see what these 'heavenly soldiers' in the Song Dynasty are capable of." ”
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Yin Xi and Wanyan Yanmu and others all agreed, and then they unanimously decided to hand over the task of siege and temptation to Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong, and they were absolutely reluctant to risk the lives of the Jurchens when the strength of the enemy and the enemy was not clear.
Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong scolded everyone in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, and respectfully agreed, fortunately, tomorrow's siege is a temptation, only focusing on attacking a city gate, they may suffer some damage, but they still can't hurt their bones.
At the same time, Li You at the head of the city was also guessing the plans of the Jin people with Zhao Huan, Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and others, "Although they already know that there are new reinforcements in the city, according to the insatiable nature of the Jurchens, they will not retreat without hitting their heads and breaking the bloodstream, and they may start attacking the city again tomorrow at the latest, testing the details of our waiting." ”
"I will go to the city tomorrow to cheer for the soldiers." Zhao Huan's courage also became a little bigger, and he took the initiative to stand up without waiting for Li You to speak, maybe he thought that as long as Li You was there, no one could hurt him, right?
"Xiaguan will go and arrange the guard." Zhang Shuye, who had obtained the "Iron Wall" skill, is now growing in strength in defending the city three times a day, and the city defense system of Bianliang City has also been rapidly improved under his management.
Early in the morning of the second day, the golden soldiers of the brigade really came out of the camp and slowly walked towards the city wall with ladders, pointed wooden donkeys and other siege equipment.
"I'm afraid these are Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army and Liu Yanzong's Liao army." Li You handed the telescope in his hand to Uncle Zhang, and after Zhang Shuye took it, he regarded it as a magic weapon of the heavenly court, otherwise, how could it be so magical?
"If it's just the Changsheng Army and the Liao Army, even if there is no heavenly soldier to help, the lower officials can deal with it." Uncle Zhang looked full of confidence.
Soon, the war unfolded between the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao army and the Changsheng army that surrendered to the Jin State, and both sides were testing the true strength of the other. (To be continued.) )
