Chapter 69: No Good Dreams All Night
In Puzhou, the 10,000 army led by Yue Fei plus the original 10,000 defenders of Puzhou, a total of 20,000 troops, plus the civilians of Puzhou are all busy nervously.
Everything that stood in the way of the siege was transferred to the city walls by him.
Beicheng City Tower, at this time the remnant sun is like blood, the mist is kind, the four fields are endless, the wheat in the field has been tasseled, and it will enter the harvest period in less than a month.
Yue Fei stood quietly, his heart fluctuating! Since he returned to Zongze, he has commanded thousands of people, and now he has to defend a city and command an army of more than 20,000 people.
Deputy General Bi Jin said with a solemn face, "General, the scout came out to report, and after saying that Yan Zongfu and Liu Lin's army totaled nearly 100,000, it is now less than fifty miles away from Puzhou!" According to the distance calculation, the enemy army will arrive in Puzhou about tomorrow. ”
Tomorrow?
Before the storm, it is often surprisingly calm, but the decisive battle the day after tomorrow will turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, purgatory on earth! However, even if this is purgatory on earth, he will defend it with all his might, because behind Puzhou is Kaifeng!
"The order goes down, and by noon tomorrow, all the gates except the north gate will be completely blocked! First, the defensive equipment should be ready! ”
"Command, the end will be arranged immediately."
[Day 2: Coming to Night]
After several days of marching, the army led by Yan Zongfu and Liu Lin finally arrived at the city of Puzhou on 5 April, and the army went down to the village at a distance of ten miles from the city of Puzhou, and arranged for the forward battalion of about 10,000 people to arrive at the city of Puzhou five miles away from the city of Puzhou to arrive at the village as a warning.
In the night, the camp of the enemy army was lit up, like the light of the dungeon, devouring the surrounding life.
In the Chinese military account, Wanyan Zongfu was full of ambition, "The last time I captured Kaifeng, I took advantage of it, but unfortunately this person was not blessed with his military exploits, and he died in Handan!" This time, I will lead the iron cavalry to step on Kaifeng! Let the Song people be frightened! ”
Although Liu Lin was as ambitious as him, he was a little more vigilant, after all, he still remembered last year's defeat vividly.
"General, that Shen Wanshu is deceitful! The means are changeable, and when attacking Kaifeng, do not underestimate the enemy. ”
"What are you afraid of a woman? What kind of magic are you talking about, but General Ben doesn't believe it! If he really met her, General Ben would like to see her. ”
Liu Lin couldn't help but ridicule in his heart, insight? If you really see her witchcraft, I'm afraid you'll have to cry!
……
However, Wanyan Zongfu never expected that before he attacked Kaifeng, he saw Zhao Yingluo's methods!
At that time, after a day's march, hundreds of thousands of troops quickly fell asleep, and the entire camp was dark except for the torches of the patrol soldiers.
At this time, there was an earth-shattering sound in the camp, which woke up almost everyone! Wails and screams followed.
"Enemy attack!" In the shouts one after another, it also woke up Wanyan Sosuke, who had just fallen asleep.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the camp.
But unexpectedly, the explosion sounded only once, destroying a camp tent, killing two soldiers and wounding seven.
After Liu Lin smelled the familiar smell, his expression changed greatly, "It was Shen Wanshu who did it!" She just used this magic to break the city gate. ”
"Send out scouts at once to spy on the enemy's movements. The rest of the people don't take off their armor! Horses don't unsaddle! Be vigilant. ”
After ordering the scouts to be dispatched, Wanyan Zongfu was a little breathless, what happened to those patrolling the camp and the people who were standing guard around the camp? How did you let the enemy touch the camp?
After about an hour, the scout reported that no enemy had been found.
Wanyan Zongfu was even more depressed after hearing this, there was no enemy, could it be that this explosion was really Shen Wanshu's demon technique?
"Order the camp to strengthen vigilance inside and outside, and deal with it immediately if there is any movement! If it is an enemy, kill first and then play, and the rest of the camp rests normally except for the patrol soldiers. ”
After arranging these, Wanyan Zongfu returned to his Zhongjun tent, took off his outer robe, stretched his waist and lay down, maybe this is not possible for the enemy to sneak attack, how can there be a sneak attack and kill two people and run away?
Thinking of this, he gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep within half a cup of tea.
But, as if God was playing a joke on him, he had not long fallen asleep when another loud noise woke him up, and as before, a tent was destroyed, and three or five people were killed and wounded.
Wanyan Zongfu, who was awakened again, was so angry that he smoked, "Someone! Send more men to scout around the camp immediately and be sure to find the enemy's hiding place. ”
After ordering someone to go out to investigate, Wanyan Zongfu scolded and returned to the Zhongjun tent, this time he simply didn't take off his robe again, and he couldn't tell when the other party would come out like this again.
The scouts reported that they had expanded the search range for five miles, but still did not find the enemy.
"That's it, everyone tonight, sleep in armor, stay awake!"
After the order, it was already time to come at this time, and Wanyan Zongfu, who had been yawning for a long time, saw that the east was about to break, so he lay down, ready to maintain sufficient spirit before the dawn of the siege.
But, just as he was asleep, there was another loud bang in the camp!
Wanyan Zongfu, who was awakened again, couldn't help but scold, who can stand being harassed like this all night?
"Pass the order, the siege plan of Tianming will be canceled, and it will be changed to the siege of the city the morning after tomorrow, and after dawn, everyone will continue to rest!"
This time, Wanyan Sosuke waited from the time of the hour, that is, five o'clock in the morning in the later generations, until the hour of the hour, and then lay down and slept for a while.
This sleep, directly slept until the afternoon.
After eating some lunch, he began to think about the strange events that happened last night.
Could it really be Shen Wanshu's witchcraft? Otherwise, why did the scouts go out of the camp again and again to find the enemy's traces, but they all returned empty-handed?
After getting dressed, he walked out of the Chinese military tent, and at this time, the entire camp was also in a state of distress because of last night's toss, and even the soldiers patrolling the camp yawned.
After inspecting the camp for nearly a circle, Wanyan Zongfu returned to the Zhongjun tent and ordered the tent to be raised! Convene the officers and soldiers to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone already knows what happened last night, although the scouts have not found any traces of the enemy, but don't take it lightly! Although it was early afternoon, it was hard to guarantee that Shen Wanshu would not suddenly attack. ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, after all, yesterday's explosion made them a little frightened.
"Now we are divided into three teams, one team is responsible for guarding, one team is responsible for continuing to reconnoiter the enemy, and one team is resting, ready to take over the vigilance and reconnaissance at any time, if there is no abnormality tonight, the army will attack the city early tomorrow morning."
But Wanyan Zongfu thought too much, and just after the hour, the first explosion sounded, and the whole camp jumped with chickens and dogs.
Wanyan Zongfu's mentality almost collapsed, but between collapse and non-collapse, reason still prevailed, it's just that, everyone don't sleep tonight.
