Chapter 61: Arrogance

He could only shake his head helplessly at the head of the city, it was not a fluke that the Jin army could get to where it is today.

However, the alternate cover retreat also meant that the movement was slow, during which Fan Zhuoyuan ordered another five rounds of bombardment, and forced until the main force of the Jin army withdrew ten miles away, and then officially stopped the attack.

Together with the first two rounds, a total of seven rounds of shelling caused at least 700 casualties among the Jin army.

Seven hundred casualties are nothing in a 150,000-strong army, but the killing and injury of such an ultra-long-range artifact will inevitably give a great blow to the morale of the Jin army.

At this time, the people who were driven to the siege in front of the city had already reached the city wall, but the main force of the Jin army was ten miles away, and the front and back were completely disjointed.

There was no longer much of a threat to rescue the civilians, but even so, Fan Zhuoyuan still prepared the artillery and crossbowmen.

Let the cavalry roam within the ten miles of the people and the main force of the Jin army, and at the same time order the cavalry infantry to dismount, hold spears and line up in a phalanx, and guard the rear of the people, so as to prevent the Jin army from sending heavy cavalry to charge and capture the city.

Artillery, cavalry, infantry, three lines of defense, made Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Zonghan have a headache.

They had already assembled their heavy cavalry at this time, and although the ten miles were long, there was still a chance for the cavalry to rush down.

However, the defenders were so well guarded that there was no need to continue trying.

In this way, the Jin soldiers who were mixed with the people basically became outcasts.

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the east gate to be opened, and the two thousand heavily armored soldiers guarding this place did not have a good temper, and they inspected and questioned them one by one, and saw that those who could neither speak Chinese nor Khitan listened to the explanation at all, and pressed them on the spot, and slashed their heads with big swords.

And when he encountered someone with a sword, he also did not listen to the explanation and besieged it on the spot.

The Jin soldiers lurking among the people to seize the city were all brave and outstanding in the army, but there was nothing they could do in the face of the Xiaojie army that was superior in numbers and wore heavy armor and was waiting for them.

They intend to cause chaos, but they are greeted by iron-blooded slaughter and the roll call of sharpshooters who are in ambush on the heights.

At the same time, the people also gave loud guidance in it, and even turned back to besiege the Jin soldiers hiding in it, forcing the Jin soldiers to flee in a hurry after knowing that there was no hope of capturing the city.

But they forgot that behind them there was a phalanx of heavily armored pikes and three thousand rangers.

These golden soldiers fled voluntarily, and were immediately blocked by the heavy party formation, as well as the Ranger charge to harvest.

In a short time, Fan Zhuoyuan had rescued thousands of people back to the city, and all the golden soldiers hidden in it were divided, beheaded, and placed at the city gate to build a Jingguan.

This move made the Jin Army scouts tremble all over, and they were so angry that they scolded and started a guerrilla fight with the Xiaojie Army Rangers.

However, most of Fan Zhuoyuan's cavalry were Khitans who were skilled in horsemanship, and the Jurchens, as a fishing and hunting people, could not compete with the pure nomads at this point.

One by one, the Jurchen scouts were either captured or beheaded on the spot, and 12 out of 10 escaped back.

Ten miles away, the Jin army set up a company camp, and Wanyan Lou came to the tent of Wanyan Zonghan, the supreme commander, and the two of them used knives to cut the cooked pork, while discussing what happened today.

"The firearms of the Song army are sharp, and they occupy the advantage of the city wall, and the range is long, although we have firearms, we will definitely not take advantage of the fire."

Wanyan Zonghan thought of the battle in the daytime, and his heart was still on fire, and he was even more frightened.

Wan Yan Lou slipped off a piece of hind leg meat, the meat was not fully cooked, and he swallowed it in his stomach, he liked the slices of meat with a bit of blood, just like the smell of snorting on the battlefield, which was really intoxicating.

"Don't think about it so much, send scouts to investigate around Yanjing City and Tongzhou County to see if there are any flaws.

Siege is always not our forte, if the Song army holds on and has firearms in hand, it will be difficult for us to take it. ”

Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly, "Then how do you think you should fight?" ”

"How else can you fight, didn't you say it before, if you can't attack it, plunder the countryside, find a way to lure them out of the city for a decisive battle, and if you can destroy one, you will destroy one."

Wanyan Zonghan tore off a rib and tore off the bloody flesh on it with all his might, but the bone in his hand was not thrown away, he still put it in his mouth and chewed it, biting it creakingly.

After biting the whole rib to pieces, he threw it into the fire, then wiped his mouth and said, "We must be able to build this firearm, no matter what the cost!" ”

"The scouts have investigated, the Song people have implemented strong walls and clear the wilderness, and all the craftsmen have been concentrated in Yanjing City."

Wanyan Zonghan sneered and said fiercely: "If there is no Yandi, go to Zhuozhou, if there is no Zhuozhou, go to Xiongzhou, Xiongzhou is not yet, hmph, then go to Bianliang City and say hello to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" ”

Wan Yan Lou Room's face changed, "If you are alone, you are not afraid of being wrapped." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Since the war with the Song people, the only thing that has made us suffer a big loss is Fan Zhuoyuan's Xiaojie army, whether it is the seed master Dao or the eggless Liu Yanqing, either defending the city or abandoning the city and fleeing.

Before Fan Zhuoyuan appeared, the 200,000 forbidden troops of the Song army were defeated by the remnants of the Liao State of 30,000. With such combat power, I only use 10,000 elite horsemen to dare to sweep the Central Plains!

Moreover, from those Liao people, we learned that the Song people have always used literature to control the military, and the Song people's own heroes and heroes often harmed their emperors and civil officials.

Didn't you want to lure the Song army out of the city to fight? I will lead the troops to show off my martial arts under Bianliang City, and I will definitely be able to give you this opportunity! ”

Wan Yan Lou Room peeled off the whole pig's face with a dagger, smeared it with salt and sauce, and began to bite it from the arched position, and he ate the whole pig's face in silence.

And Wanyan Zonghan also watched him finish his meal in silence......

"You can't go." After a long time, Yan Lou's room replied to Yan Zonghan's words.

Wanyan Zonghan's face became very ugly, and he said: "Wushu has always wanted to make meritorious contributions, so let him go." ”

Wan Yan Lou Room sneered, "Let a general who doesn't have much experience in leading the army lead 10,000 elite horsemen south?" I'm worried that another 10,000 bones will not be able to return home. ”

Before Wanyan Zonghan had an attack, Wanyan Lou wiped his hands and said, "I'll go, only I can take them to attack the Song Land and successfully bring the children back to their hometown." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "You don't fight Fan Zhuoyuan, the commander of the Xiaojie Army?" ”

"Hehe, Sticky Han, you have an army of more than 100,000 in your hands, don't you have the confidence to deal with him?"

……

After that day, the Jin army plundered the countryside and besieged Yanjing and Tongzhou counties, but it was difficult to achieve decisive results under the resistance of the Song army.

Moreover, generals such as Fan Zhuoyuan, Wang Yu, and Guo Yaoshi often led the cavalry to take the initiative to sneak attack, and seized the opportunity to fight more and fight less, and eliminated the hundred-person corps in a structured manner, which gave the Jin army heavy casualties.

The Jin army still tried to drive the people to attack the city, but Fan Zhuoyuan's experience had been passed on to Wang Yu and the seed master Dao, and the two acted according to the law, isolating the main force of the Jin army with artillery, and then quickly recruiting the people into the city with infantry for screening and selection.

Seeing that this method was ineffective, the helpless Jin army no longer drove the people to attack the city, but tortured and killed the captured people in front of the Song army, showing its barbaric nature.

The morale of the Song army did not decline, but because of the cruel and barbaric practices of the Jin people, they hated the enemy, and their morale only dared to defend the city at the beginning, and then gradually became able to rely on the city defense to fight the enemy in the field.

The soldiers and civilians of the city gradually learned how to fight, and these changes also made the Jin army frightened and did not dare to commit massacres again.

At this time, Wanyan Lou, the god of war of the Jin Kingdom, selected 10,000 elite horsemen to go south and enter the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

He even drove thousands of miles to the city of Bianjing, and burned and looted in front of the emperor's relatives and important ministers, and the whole country was shocked.
