Chapter 633: Ambush, Beicheng
The moonlight is half-covered and half-hidden, and the bright silver chain is sifting down, illuminating the earth from time to time.
This kind of night is the most suitable for sneak attacks, the whole month attracts attention, and the moon is not enough.
Zhao Ta was drinking wine in the tent, and Xiao Li looked puzzled on the other side, not knowing what big drama to watch at midnight.
She is constantly making up her mind at the moment, although she says that she wants to kill Zhao Ta to avenge her brother, but if it is really impossible, then it is not good to deliberately send her to death, it is better to find an opportunity to escape.
Zhao Ta said: "Miss Xiao, drink." β
Where did Xiao Lizhi dare to drink more, and said in the future: "Your Majesty, what is the scene at midnight?" β
Zhao Ta picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then looked at the hourglass next to him, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a drama to break the Jin Army!" β
"Ahh Xiao Lizhi had already picked up the wine glass, but when he heard the words, his hand trembled, and the wine glass almost fell to the ground, and the wine inside splashed.
"Miss Xiao, this is ...... Could it be that when he heard that he was going to break the Jin Army, he was excited? Zhao Ta said in surprise.
Xiao Li was annoyed when he heard this, what am I excited about, this is the big drama you are talking about? Shangjing City has already sealed the surrounding city gates, and your soil and mountains have not been piled up, what do you use to break my Jurchen son? Do you still want to storm the city? But it's dark and unclear in the middle of the night, can you attack it!
"Ah...... The people's daughter is really excited, but she doesn't know how His Majesty plans to break the Jin Army? β
Zhao Ta looked at her and said with a smile: "I have a clever calculation, I calculated that at midnight the Jurchen will definitely open the city to steal the camp and rob the village, and then I ambush the men and horses and wait for the other party to enter the trap and surround it, come to an urn to catch turtles, and destroy these Jin troops, as for the city gate, send people to rob, go to the capital gate and wait for the sneak attack on the return of the people, it will definitely not be blocked!" β
Xiao Lizhen was shocked: "Your Majesty...... How did you know that the Jin army stole the camp tonight? β
Zhao Ta said with a smile: "Didn't you say that I was clever, as long as I pinched my fingers, I could know what Sticky Han Zongbi and the others wanted to do." β
"This, I'm afraid it's not necessarily......"
Xiao Lizhi didn't believe it, Shangjing closed the city and locked the pool, how would Zhao Ta know what the people inside wanted to do? Even if he has a spy buried in Shangjing, but such a confidential matter, the people around him who are not sticky Han Zongbi will definitely not know, even if there is really a spy who is in a very high position, he must be able to pass on the news, and now that he is in Beijing Guancheng, how can there be intelligence to send out?
"Miss Xiao doesn't believe it?" Zhao Ta shook his head: "The time is almost up, I'll take Miss Xiao out to watch this show now!" β
Xiao Li thought to himself, if you really have such a skill to pinch and calculate, then the Jurchen will admit it if she loses and loses in the end, but where in the world can anyone have such a godlike ability? Even shamans can't do it.
"Someone, draped!"
Zhao Ta gave an order, and the two brothers of Bai Zhan and Bai Ba outside came in and put on armor for him.
His armor was left by Wang Yanzhang of the iron spear, it was a treasure armor, even if the two of them helped to wear it, it would take nearly half an hour to complete, Xiao Lizhen took a look at it from the side, it was really powerful, and he couldn't help but feel worried, even the armor was put on, it seems that this Zhao Ta doesn't look like he is bragging.
"Go and get a set of armor for Miss Xiao too." Zhao Ta said.
"I, I don't have to ......" Xiao Lizhen hurriedly refused.
"There shouldn't be any iron armor that suits Miss Xiao's figure, but leather armor can, so take a pair of leather armor!" Zhao Ta didn't allow her to object, and commanded with a wave of his big hand.
After a while, Bai Zhan came back with a set of small leather armor, and Xiao Lizhen really had no choice but to put it on his body.
Then went out, it was already midnight at this moment, and before a few people could get on the horse, they heard a sudden sound of shouting and killing in the distance.
"Miss Xiao beware of cold arrows." Zhao Ta reminded.
In the melee, the most important thing is to beware of cold arrows, how many generals and famous commanders, and those who did not take precautions fell on this matter.
Xiao Lizhi nodded, but he was horrified in his heart, because the sound of killing in the distance could not be faked, could it be that the city really came to steal the camp?
After getting on the horse, several people came to a high ground surrounded by their own soldiers, although it was not the edge of the battlefield, but it was condescending, and the torch light was shining, but it was also possible to see the situation ahead.
Just look at the people in the distance shouting and neighing, the gold and iron are ringing, and the battle is endless, and the scale is very large.
Vaguely, you can see one side strangling, and one side seems to be breaking through and retreating, but wrapped in layers of circles, where can you run out? It was the beaten man who turned on his back, and it was terrible to see, and he was about to be wiped out here.
Xiao Lizhi's body trembled slightly, sure enough, it was the Jurchen son, and it was the Jurchen warrior who came to steal the camp, but why did Zhao Ta know? Could he really be clever and clever?
"Miss Xiao, how is this big play? Is it good-looking? Zhao Ta smiled.
Xiao Lizhen's heart seemed to be dripping blood at this time, and she really couldn't say the word "good-looking" against her heart, she muttered: "How can this be?" How can this be......"
"Miss Xiao is surprised that I am like a god?" Zhao Ta laughed: "I've already said it, as long as I pinch my fingers and count, I know astronomy, geography, and calculate the little Jurchen sneak attack, it's not a good deal!" β
Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ta, angry and hateful in his heart, this person is simply too rampant and arrogant, but he can't beat him at home, and he can't think of any other way to deal with it, after tonight, he should secretly leave the barracks and go back to Huining.
"The war is coming to an end, Miss Xiao and I are watching ahead!" Zhao Ta glanced at Xiao Liqing's face, and then beat his horse and went forward.
Xiao Lizhi had no choice but to follow behind, at this time the sound of the battlefield gradually became smaller, although the Jurchen sent a lot of soldiers and horses in this raid, but broke into the encirclement trap, it was a trench, a horse pit, and a tripline, almost in a unilateral state of beating, so that the one-sided situation of the war naturally ended quickly.
When Zhao Ta and them passed slowly, it was almost over, but there were still some Jurchen soldiers who resisted stubbornly, and some fell down and did not die, struggling to run, and were replaced by the Qin army's swords and guns on the spot.
Xiao Lizhen was stunned.
Zhao Ta said lightly: "These Jurchens killed the Khitan and the Han people, and they were like this, this is war, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad on the battlefield, only you die and I die, war is so cruel and cruel!" β
Xiao Lizhi was speechless, as a clan, and the younger sister of Yinshu and Balisu, how to naturally understand war, where to distinguish good and bad family affection, if you don't kill each other, your own family will perish.
When Shangjing was first captured, many Khitan clans in the city were killed, and many captives went to Huining, all of which Xiao Lizhen knew.
"If so...... It would be nice if there was no war......" she said in a sneering voice.
"There is no war...... Zhao Ta sighed lightly, and looked up at the black clouds in the sky covering the half moon: "When the Jurchens are swept away, the war will be over temporarily." β
"Will it really end?" Xiao Li will never accept Zhao Ta's statement that he swept away the Jurchens, that is her clan, if the Jurchens are not there, how should she deal with herself?
"Let's end it for the time being......" Zhao Ta doesn't want to dwell on this kind of topic, who can say well about the war? Anything can be thought of in an idealized way, but for war, it is absolutely necessary to have the worst and worst intentions.
"Miss Xiao will follow me to the north gate of Shangjing to watch and see if there is luck to seize the city gate and destroy the gold thieves in the city in one go."
Xiao Lizhi pursed her lips, thinking that you are the thief, but she does care about this matter at the moment, if the city gate of Shangjing is really lost, then the city will definitely be in danger, if it is lost, Zong Han Zongbi and others are afraid that it will be difficult to escape alive.
Half an hour later, when he arrived in the north of Shangjing, he saw that the corpses were all over the ground outside the city gate, and the faΓ§ade was mottled and damaged, but fortunately, it was not broken, obviously it was defended, and the Qin army did not succeed, so Xiao Lizhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ta frowned when he saw this, it seems that Zong Bi and the others in the city are still cautious, and the defense is too strict, and his military horses have not been able to take this opportunity to take the city gate.
At this time, Ruda rode back covered in blood and reported: "Your Majesty, the other party is well defended, and he really can't take this door." β
Zhao Ta nodded: "Withdraw all the people and horses, light up the pine oil torch, and light it to see." β
Luda answered, called all the soldiers under the city back, and then played all kinds of things that could be illuminated, and for a time the city under the north of Beijing was as bright as day.
Shangjing City also lit the oil pillar and the like, Zong Hanzong, Bi Xiyin and others were all there, all looking down with ugly faces.
Especially Xi Yin, his face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping, it turned out that he was wrong, the secret letter of Ayako turned out to be fake, and the other party had already laid an ambush and waited for them to drill into it.
"Who's that guy?" Wan Yanqi had sharp eyes and looked at Zhao Tan from a distance, looking as if the stars were holding the moon, and couldn't help but wonder.
Several other people squinted their eyes when they heard this, and Xi Yin rubbed it vigorously, but this look made his body tremble.
The city was bright, it was easier to look at it, he saw that the figure that Yan Qi said was so familiar, countless nightmares that appeared in his nightmares, even if he didn't look at his face, just from the riding posture and the way he looked up, he could recognize who it was.
"Zhao Ta!" As if these two words burst out from between his teeth, there was a sudden silence above the city.
Zong Bi and Zong Han were also familiar with Zhao Ta, they had seen each other in the Huining Dynasty at that time, and it was not only one day to go to the grassland for autumn hunting, and they had also drunk wine under the bonfire, talked to each other, and talked about the future of the Jurchens.
"That's the case!" Zong Bi opened his mouth, eager to immediately pounce on the city and break the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces.
The hatred of killing his father, the hatred of breaking the army, and now there is a dispute over the country, all of which make him hate indescribably.
"Ceres, who do you see next to Zhao Ta?" Zong Han suddenly said, "Why does it look a bit like a sand lichen?" β
Xi Yin immediately looked, and sure enough, there was a woman sitting next to Zhao Ta right away, although Sha Li was wearing leather armor at this time, but she was not wearing a leather hat, and she could identify her gender at a glance.
"Really...... It's saris! Xi Yin was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and she was lucky to think that maybe Sha Li was recognized by Zhao Ta and forced to write down the ayazi, she was young and experienced, and she didn't expect to hide her handwriting, but at this moment, it seems that she is so close to the other party, it is clear that she has surrendered!
As soon as he thought of this, Xi Yin only felt that his brain had been struck by lightning, his chest was suffocated, and his own clever plan turned into a meat bun.
Zhao Ta couldn't see the scene at the head of the city clearly, after all, the head of the city was much darker than below, but he didn't need to see it to think that Zong Bi Xiyin must be there, so he laughed with Xiao Li.
Xiao Lizhen knew that he deliberately gave the city a look, and naturally replied sentence by sentence, but this scene was naturally different in the eyes of everyone in the city, and the city couldn't hear what they said, so he only felt as if he was laughing and mocking, which was very dazzling.
Zong Bi snorted: "Bring a bow and arrow!" The soldiers immediately handed over the carved bow and wolf arrows, and saw Zong Bi's arms shake, with arrows and bows, he actually opened the five-stone bow in the shape of a full moon, and then only heard a "whoosh" sound, and the wolf arrow was as fast as a meteor, and went straight to Zhao Ta under the city.
Zhao Ta squinted slightly, and next to him, Luda came sideways, and the sword in his hand was a cloud to see the sun, and he knocked the iron arrow away, and then took a few steps forward, and the knife pointed at the head of the city and shouted: "Jurchen Xiaoer, only secret arrows hurt people, so dirty, it is not far from defeat." β
Chengtou Zongbi was so angry when he heard the words that he screamed "Wow, yes", and Wan Yan Qi next to him persuaded him: "Fourth Uncle doesn't need to be angry, the other party is just bluffing, why bother to be like them." β
On the side, Xi Yin shook off the pro-soldiers who were supporting him at this time, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "It's good to think about it in the long run." β
Zong Bi took a deep breath: "Now there is no hope of sneak attack, so we can only wait for the other party's earth and mountains to pile up, and the capital is broken." β
Wan Yan Qi said: "I think it's really not good, give up going to Beijing, why stick to it?" β
Zong Bi glanced at him: "Shangjing is the gateway of the white mountain and black water, if Shangjing is lost, not only will the huge territory of the Liao Kingdom be returned to the other party, but even the land in my northeast will be in danger!" β
Wan Yan Qi said: "But it's better than being wiped out here, leaving the green mountains here, not afraid of no firewood, you can't all lose it here." β
Xi Yin shook his head: "Do you think that Zhao Ta is really so kind and left the open space in the north for us to escape?" This north is the most sinister compared to the other three, the other three Qin troops are in Mingli, but the north can't say how many ambushes, if you want to go all the way back to Baishan and Heishui, I'm afraid it is extremely difficult. β
Zong Han muttered at this time: "I think it is better to leave as a last resort, rather than staying in Shangjing to consume the Qin army, it is better to keep some strength and go back and wait for the comeback, the Qin army has many reserves, even if it is consumed, what if it is consumed?" After a little time, it will be replenished, and I will all die here, what should I do over there in Huining? β
Xi Yin didn't speak when he heard this, and closed his eyes slightly, but Zong Bi said angrily: "If you want to go, I won't give Shangjing to Zhao Ta'er in vain, abandon the city and leave, it will only strengthen that little child's prestige, so that he thinks that the Jurchen has no brave soldiers!" β
Zong Han said: "Why bother, there is no danger to defend in Beijing, how can it be compared to the white mountains and black waters, and it makes no sense to be buried here." β
Zong Bi said: "Are you afraid of death?" β
Zong Han snorted coldly, turned his head, and said no more.
Under the city, Zhao Ta looked above for a while, ordered the withdrawal of the army, and a team of men and horses turned back to the camp and left.
