Chapter 948: Proud Soldiers

Wanyan Zonghan came to the front of the formation, looked at it from a distance, and saw that the gate of Yanjing City was wide open, but what poured out of it was not people, but flags one after another, countless flags. I couldn't help but be a little confused, and looked around: "What is the Liao army doing?

Wanyan Zongxian on the left side frowned and responded: "It seems that there is some kind of formation to be engaged in, in the past half a year, the Liao people have been losing and retreating, and they have never been willing to officially fight with us, but today it is abnormal, there must be fraud in it!"

On the right, Yan Tu Hesu pursed his lips and said proudly: "What is not cheating? The Liao people don't even have war horses, what can he do to fight us? Later, I will lead 10,000 light horsemen to rush at him for a while, and you will know that it is useless for him to cheat or not!"

The 50,000 troops of the Jin army in the south of Yanjing were all cavalry. Because the south of the city is not the main battlefield of this siege and annihilation battle, there is no siege mission, and their task is to prevent the Liao people from escaping from the south of the city.

But it is precisely because of this that in the eyes of Wanyan Suhesu, these Liao soldiers who came out with big banners are even more vulnerable, and he doesn't even plan to dispatch the 10,000 Tiefu Tu under his command, thinking that it is overkill.

After the two of them expressed their opinions, they both looked at Wanyan Zonghan, after all, he was the overseer appointed by Wanyan Aguta, in charge of the 50,000 horses in the south of the city, he said that he could only fight if he fought, if he said that he would not fight, then no one could fight.

"It's okay to fight! Just do what you say quickly, and if it goes well, take the opportunity to storm the city gate!"

On the one hand, he didn't take the Liao army seriously, on the other hand, he was just trying to fight a beautiful battle for Ah Gu to see, don't look at the east of the city where there are God of War disciples Shan Dingge and your two own sons, and don't look at your 500,000 troops in the east of the city, 50,000 horses in the south of my city can decide the outcome of this battle!

Wanyan was overjoyed when he heard this, but Wanyan Zongxian said worriedly: "Zonghan, it's not impossible to fight, but I think you should send someone to talk to the emperor, otherwise even if we win, I'm afraid that someone will cure you for the crime of a slow king." ”

Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand and said: "No need, let's win the battle, everyone has a glow on their faces, if we tell the emperor in advance, what if he doesn't let him fight?"

Of course, he didn't think that Wanyan Agu would be cowardly, he was only worried that Wanyan Agu would let his two sons Zong Wang and Zong Bi fight this one, so how could he fight for face?

Wanyan Zongxian was a little helpless, in fact, what he wanted to say was that he informed the emperor in the east of the city that if we lost, there would be 500,000 troops and many fierce generals to respond, and we would not end up in a fiasco.

Xun Yu, a strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, once said: Those who make good use of soldiers, do not think about victory, but first think about defeat, so that they can win all battles. Wanyan Zongxian's worries are definitely not groundless.

But he couldn't say this, because these words somewhat increased the enemy's morale and frustrated his own prestige, as long as he said it, whether it was Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Suhesu, he would be dissatisfied with him. So what's the problem?

So I could only follow the meaning of these two people and put forward a suggestion: "I think if we really want to fight, we'd better fight now, don't wait for them to set up any formation, if we are fully prepared, then we will lose if we fight again." ”

Attacking it halfway is also a rather clever tactic. Since the rise of the Jin people, they have been invincible and invincible, not all of them have been obtained by virtue of a bloody luck that is not afraid of death, they also have their war wisdom. Wanyan Zongxian is such a think-tank figure.

"No need!" Wan Yan Zonghan refused to accept Wan Yan Zongxian's suggestion, in order not to hurt Wan Yan Zongxian's self-esteem, he gave his reason: "How many people can you kill by fighting now?

The number of victories of the Jin State against the Liao State is too much, and a battle that kills one or two thousand Liao troops is embarrassed to ask for credit in front of Aguta.

"Let's just wait for their people to come out, the more out the better, anyway, they are all infantry, 10,000 is killed, 100,000 is also killed, do you think, when they come out there are more people, let's directly attack the city gate in the process of rushing and killing, will they dare to close the gate at that time? If the gate is closed, he will have to abandon his main force outside the city, as long as we kill these soldiers, what will he use in the city to defend the city? Use the wives and concubines and daughters of those rich Khitans? Hahahaha......"

Wanyan Zonghan burst out laughing, Wanyan Tuhesu also laughed, and all the soldiers around him also laughed.

It is unreasonable to not be able to finish Yan Zonghan's statement. As long as the enemy is infantry, it is useless to come out with 300,000, because you have 50,000 cavalry.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible. This sentence is not made up out of thin air, this is an iron law piled up with countless war examples!

As long as the Jurchen cavalry is tens of thousands, and they are fighting in the wilderness suitable for cavalry charges, then no matter how many infantry the opponent has, the result will be a great victory for the Jurchens, and the opponent has only two options: being killed or fleeing.

But nothing in this world is absolute, Wanyan Zongxian is worried that the other party will arrange some kind of formation that is not afraid of cavalry, otherwise what does it mean that their soldiers have a banner in their hands? Do you really think they want to open a dye shop? Joke!

At the head of the city, Yelu Dashi had the same thoughts as Wanyan Zongxian, and what he was most worried about was that the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom would charge while the Taiyi Mixed Sky Elephant Array had not yet been arranged.

At this time, Emperor Tianzuo temporarily put aside the estrangement between the two brothers and asked his opinion: "Da Shi Linya, do you think we can win this battle?"

Wu Yanguang led people to set up a formation under the city, and the only person who accompanied Emperor Tianzuo on the city was Yelu Dashi, and Emperor Tianzuo had no bottom in his heart, so he could only consult Yelu Dashi, the only expert around him. Dashi Linya is another name for Yelu Dashi, and the royal family of the Liao State calls him so.

The emperor's inquiry could not be answered, and the Yelu stone statue was afraid that the people of the Jin country would listen to his words, so he said in a low voice: "I am most afraid that the people of the Jin country will charge now, as long as he does not charge, once our big array is arranged, it will not be a big problem." ”

In fact, for the situation of the enemy's half-crossing attack, Wu Yanguang also had consideration, as long as the enemy half-crossed, then his own side can only urgently close the door, abandon a small part of the soldiers out of the city, if that is the case, this formation that has been prepared for more than half a year will be abolished, and today's battle will also end in the defeat of his own side, this is no way to do things.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking half-crossing, he ordered the vanguard officer Kou Zhenyuan to ride alone in front of the two armies, and as long as the Jin people had the intention of launching a charge, they would immediately start a curse battle.

Scolding is also a commonly used tactic in the confrontation between the two armies, most of them are made by a general of their own side, and they release wild words in front of the enemy's formation, you can't do it, your generals are all nameless rats, and their martial arts are all learned from Shi Niang, and they don't dare to come out and fight with me alone, etc.

Wu Yanguang's arrangement is that as long as you scold the enemy to fight with you alone, regardless of the opponent's martial arts, you will leave after three or five rounds, and someone will take over and start a war with the opponent, and you will also quickly feint defeat, so as to preserve your own strength while satisfying the vanity of the enemy general, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying time.

On the other hand, if the enemy has no intention of launching a cavalry charge, then the general in charge of scolding the battle cannot easily scold, and only stands by in front of the battle.

So at this time, on a field between the two armies of Jin and Liao, Kou Zhenyuan was very bored and depressed sitting on the horse.
