Chapter 318: Wang Zaixing occupies Datong Mansion
The main hall of the Great Song Palace, the candlelight flickering, dyed the magnificent palace with a layer of warm gold.
Zhao Yingluo faced the courtiers at this moment and gave an order to support the Great Xia Kingdom.
"Lord Zhu," she said softly but firmly, "immediately send a messenger to Xiazhou, find General Wang Zaixing, and convey my order to attack the Datong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom." ”
In the darkness of the night, the messenger mounted his fast horse, galloped out of the city, and disappeared into the night.
In the distant Xiazhou, Wang Zaixing was sitting in the main tent, and when the messenger handed the princess's letter into his hands, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"The army of the Great Jin Kingdom has been dispatched to attack the Great Xia Kingdom." Wang Zaixing slowly unfolded the letter, looking at the princess's handwritten order, his brows tightened, "Attack Datong Mansion...... It's a risky move, but it's also an opportunity. ”
He immediately summoned his generals and laid out a battle plan.
In the middle of the night, the army outside Xiazhou City began to assemble, and the sound of iron hooves was like a rainbow.
"Soldiers!" Wang Zaixing shouted loudly, "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, we must take advantage of the time when the army of the Great Jin Kingdom is attacking Great Xia, and directly take Datong Mansion, an important town of the Jin Kingdom!" In this battle, only victory, not defeat! ”
The soldiers were enthusiastic, shouting in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
The army poured into Datong Mansion like a torrent, and Wang Zaixing took the lead, riding his horse and whipping.
In the night, an army of 100,000 galloped across the vast land like a black dragon.
And the defenders of the Jin State in Datong Mansion are still in a dream.
They never imagined that the Song army would launch a surprise attack at this time. When the morning dawn first appeared, the sentries at the head of the city panicked to find that the Song army had already approached the city.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The sentinel's exclamation pierced the silence of the early morning.
But it was too late, and the Song army led by Wang Zaixing descended like a tiger and quickly broke through the city wall.
The Jin soldiers in the city organized resistance in panic, but in the face of the wolf-like Song army, their defense line was quickly torn apart.
Wang Zaixing wielded a spear, took the lead, and entered the enemy formation. Behind him were countless brave soldiers, shouting and fighting to kill the enemy.
The battle lasted from early morning to early afternoon, and when the sun hung high in the sky, Wang Zaixing finally climbed the tower of Datong Mansion and held the banner of the Great Song Dynasty high.
"We've won!" He shouted, his voice echoing in the wind.
The soldiers roared with joy, and they knew that this victory was not only a heavy blow to the Dajin Kingdom, but also a manifestation of the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, the joy of victory did not last long, when dust suddenly flew in the distance, and a reinforcement army of the Jin Kingdom killed him.
"Prepare for battle!" Wang Zaixing shouted, and the soldiers quickly lined up, preparing for a new round of battle.
At this moment, the fate of Datong Mansion once again hung by a thread. But whatever the outcome, the battle will go down in history.
Wang Zaixing's eyes were firm, and he knew that the next battle would be even more tragic.
But he also knew that victory was already in sight. He brandished his spear and led the soldiers to rush into the enemy formation again, trampling with iron hooves, and the spear was like a dragon, and the killing sound on the battlefield was shocking for a while.
Although the reinforcements of the Jin State were numerous, they gradually became powerless under Wang Zaixing's brave charge. The morale of the Song soldiers was high, and they followed Wang Zaixing closely, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and attacked the enemy directly.
The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides have come and gone, and it is difficult to solve the problem.
But as time passed, the Jin soldiers began to retreat, and the Song army became more and more courageous.
Finally, in the evening, the Jin soldiers collapsed and fled in all directions.
The Song army led by Wang Zaixing won another victory and incorporated Datong Mansion into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Yanjing, inside the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin.
"Your Majesty!" A herald hurriedly ran into the main hall and knelt in front of Wanyan Zonghan, "Datong Mansion has been lost and captured by the Song general Wang Zaixing. ”
Wanyan Zonghan stood up suddenly, his face pale, "What did you say?" Datong Mansion lost? His voice was filled with disbelief and anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The herald bowed his head and replied, his voice trembling, "The Song army took advantage of our country's attack on the Great Xia Kingdom, and suddenly sent troops to capture Datong Mansion. ”
"Where's Sosuke Wanyan?" Wanyan Zonghan roared angrily, "Didn't I let him take it step by step and fight steadily? How could Song Jun take advantage of the loophole? ”
"General Wanyan, he ......" the herald hesitated, "He is attacking the Great Xia Kingdom, and he may not have expected the Song army to suddenly send troops." ”
"Bastard!" Wanyan Zonghan slapped the table, "Immediately send an order to Wanyan Zongfu and let him lead the army to recapture Datong Mansion!" ”
"Yes!" The herald answered, turned and hurried away.
Soon, Wanyan Sosuke received an order from the emperor. He stood in the big tent, his brows furrowed, "We have paid a lot of price for capturing the cities of the Great Xia Kingdom, but now we have to abandon ......"
The adjutant general beside him persuaded: "General, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey." Besides, if we can quickly recapture Datong Mansion, it can be regarded as making up for the merits. ”
Wanyan Zongfu sighed, "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to go, and we will leave for Datong Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”
However, just as Wanyan Zongfu was about to lead the army to leave, a spy suddenly came to report: "General, it's not good!" Li Qianshun, the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom, took advantage of our withdrawal and sent a large army to attack us! ”
Wanyan Zongfu was shocked, "What? How dare they! He hurriedly ordered the army to meet the battle, but it was too late. The army of the Great Xia Kingdom descended like a tiger and rushed straight to the Jin army camp.
The Jin army was caught off guard and was defeated. Wanyan Sofu led the remnants of the army to fight and retreat, and finally escaped the siege of the Great Xia army, but suffered heavy losses.
After some counting, Wanyan Zongfu found that the original army of 100,000 was now only 60,000. He looked at the devastated barracks and the exhausted soldiers, and his heart was mixed.
"General, what should we do now?" The adjutant asked.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zongfu said, "With our current strength, it is impossible to recapture Datong Mansion. For the sake of the future, I can only ask Your Majesty to increase the troops. After speaking, he wrote a letter asking for help and sent someone to Yanjing as soon as possible.
Wanyan Zonghan in the Yanjing Palace fell into deep thought after receiving Wanyan Zongfu's letter of help, "This Wanyan Zongfu really disappointed me!" He angrily threw the letter on the table, "How can we fight with an army of 100,000 and now only 60,000 are left!" ”
The strategist next to him persuaded: "Your Majesty's anger is now the most important thing is how to save the situation. ”
After Yan Zonghan calmed down, he said, "You're right, we must act as soon as possible. He turned to the herald and said, "Pass my order to let the nearby army immediately reinforce Wanyan Zongfu must recapture Datong Mansion!" ”
"Yes!" The herald departed.
Soon after, the reinforced troops arrived at Wanyan Zongfu's camp one after another. Wanyan Zongfu looked at these new forces, and his heart settled down a little. "Now that we have enough troops, we must recapture Datong Mansion!"
However, the war is not as simple as imagined, and even with enough troops, it will not be easy to retake the lost city. Wanyan Zongfu led a large army to besiege Datong Mansion for several days, but still failed to break through the city.
The Song army in the city resisted stubbornly under the leadership of the main general Wang Zaixing, so that the Jin army was never able to enter the city. The two sides are at a stalemate.
Wanyan Zongfu stood under the city, looking at the Song army banner on the city wall from a distance, and his heart was full of emotion. "This Wang Zaixing is really a difficult opponent." He muttered to himself.
