Chapter 154: Exposed
When dealing with a person with a peculiar brain circuit, you can't think about his behavior with common sense. Because then not only will you not find a reason for him to do such a thing, but you may even be infected by him.
Therefore, Wanyan Lou suddenly changed his strategy when he was approaching Canzhou.
Tang Ning and Lu Qiren's judgment was correct, Wanyan Lou said that he came with an army of 100,000, but in fact he only had 80,000 subordinates, and the remaining 20,000 were all bluffs.
However, in Lu Qiren's judgment, the strength of Wanyan Lou's room is no more than 60,000 at most, and the extra 20,000 people are actually cannon fodder regiments obtained by Wanyan Lou's room collecting death row prisoners along the way.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are also important places for the Jin Kingdom, and with the Great Wall, whether it is offensive or defensive, it will become very easy.
But it doesn't matter if the land of Yanyun is lost, the reason why Wanyan Lou Room wants to recruit death row prisoners is because he doesn't want to lose to Tang Ning again.
People who practice martial arts often experience a fiasco when they are satisfied, and there are not a few people who collapse because of this fiasco. But there are also people who have overcome defeat and overcome themselves, thus becoming stronger.
Life is like this, and so is a general.
Wanyan Lou's room has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and in the early years, he rebelled against Liao with Wanyan Agu, and later conquered Goryeo, and then sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty. He was able to become the first commander of the Jin Army, naturally because of his outstanding military achievements.
And it was during this period that he encountered Tang Ning in the Gubei Pavilion. The first time they met, he was beaten by Tang Ning, and then Tang Ning chased him all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, where the stone of the Daimyo's Mansion collapsed and the wall collapsed, and he was uneasy in the city.
Although Tang Ning did not attack in the end, he lost the courage to fight Tang Ning.
This time, it was a good opportunity for him to break his demons, if he could defeat Tang Ning, he felt that he was the number one general in the world for granted.
Yes, in the five years that Tang Ning was away, Wanyan Lou Room has spread his name to all corners of the world. Every time he captured a city, he would order his soldiers to slaughter it for three days.
Wherever he goes, he brings pain and death to him.
But for the Jin people, he is a victorious general and the pride of the Jin people.
And in the process of his countless battles, the only defeat was unusually conspicuous. If he can defeat Downing, he will be able to prove himself.
Thinking of this, Wan Yan Lou's belief became even stronger.
Originally, he planned to send 20,000 troops, divided into east and west, to support the nearest walled fort and county town respectively, to defeat the besieging Song army, and then expand the advantage in this way, and finally make the entire Jin army in Canzhou counterattack near the city of Canzhou, where Tangning was located.
However, if he can think of it, Tang Ning can naturally think of it.
The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and when dealing with people like Tang Ning, they must win by surprise. So he thought about it, and decided to join forces, arrive at Xuanzhou City as quickly as possible, hit Tang Ning, and hit him
A surprise.
However, along the way, the army encountered some unexpected situations.
"Why did it stop?" After Yan Lou was walking, he suddenly found that the soldiers had stopped, so he asked the entourage around him.
The attendant didn't know what was going on, so he galloped to the front to take a look. After a while, he ran back and said, "Dashuai, something happened ahead.
The road is blocked, and it will take some time to clear it before we can move forward again. ”
Wan Yan Lou Room sighed in his heart, and the secret way was not good.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, for no reason, how can this perennial road be blocked?
"What's going on?"
"This ...... I don't know the specific villain, but looking at the situation at the scene, it is probably because the earth dragon turned over, causing the hillsides on both sides of the road to collapse, and the road surface is full of gravel and mud......" The attendant replied cautiously.
Wan Yan Lou nodded, a little relieved.
It is a common thing for the earth dragon to turn over in this area, and he had experienced it once before when he first arrived in Mozhou, but the feeling of that time was not strong, perhaps because the earth dragon turned over here.
However, in this case, it will be a bit of a delay, so let's just send more people and pack up a road for us to go along as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he ordered his men, and it didn't take long for the scene of clearing the road at the front to become in full swing.
Wanyan Lou took advantage of this opportunity and took eight or nine followers to the nearby hillside to observe the terrain.
For some reason, he was always a little uneasy in his heart. So he has to go up high and look down on the big picture, and only then can he find some sense of security.
When the group passed by a bush, Wan Yan Lou accidentally stepped on the grass.
Strangely, it didn't feel like stepping on the ground, but rather like stepping on something soft and collapsed.
Wan Yan Lou thought that he had stepped on a puddle of mud, but he didn't pay much attention to it, knowing that he heard an 'oops' cry coming from the grass.
There is an ambush!
Wanyan Lou Room reacted immediately, turned his head and shouted: "Run!" Then he fled down the mountain with his retinue.
Now that the disguise has been exposed, it is useless to disguise it any further. Wu Dazhuang kicked over the recruit who had broken things, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers! Come on!
That dog day looks like a senior general of the Jin Army, and he must be arrested and brought back to receive merit! ”
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing sounded, and when the Song army who was ambushed in other places heard this movement, they also hurriedly jumped up from the ambush place, and used their weapons to kill the Jin army on the road.
Lu Qiren frowned and said, "No."
That's right, they should wait until they have cleared the road and the Chinese army has passed before launching an attack, why is it fighting now? ”
Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's common for accidents to happen, and you can break your neck if you fall off a horse."
It doesn't matter, you can't catch them all, you can scare them, they don't dare to rush into the army again, that's enough. ”
Lu Qiren nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to do this, so, and so. After hearing this, the subordinates immediately retreated to make arrangements.
At the same time, the Jin army, who heard the Song army's shouts of killing, also reacted immediately, and the Meng'an shouted 'enemy attack' at the top of their voices, and then those experienced Jin soldiers lined up in place.
Wang Sunchen, who was ambushed on the hillside, led 20,000 crossbowmen, and as soon as Wu Dazhuang was exposed, he ordered an attack on the Jin army below the hillside.
It is still the old routine of the Zhenguo Army, tying gunpowder to the arrows, so that even if you don't hit the enemy, you still have a chance to inflict damage on the enemy.
It's just a little different from what I expected.
Lu Qiren expected that Yan Lou's room would try his best to reach the vicinity of Canzhou City as quickly as possible, so he deliberately spent half a day making a mess of the road.
If Wanyan Lou's room is in a hurry to pass, then it will be roughly cleared and make a road that is not spacious, but large enough for a large army to pass.
In this way, the roads on both sides that have not yet been cleared will effectively limit the range of activities of the Jin army, and the gunpowder can also cause more damage to the dense Jin army.
However, before the Jin army could clear up, the battle had already begun, so the wide road surface allowed the Jin army to set up a slightly looser formation, which caused the Song army's gunpowder to exert considerable power.
However, the effect of the incendiary canister was still good, and the Jin army with fire on their bodies could not stay still at all, and they quickly let their companions be covered with flames as they ran around.
The infantry led by Wu Dazhuang wielded long knives and chased after Wanyan Lou's buttocks, but the Jin army's main formation had already divided some people to meet Wanyan Lou's room.
Wu Dazhuang was very impatient in his heart, originally the plan of the marshal and General Lu could wipe out the troops of Wanyan Lou Room, and maybe he could capture Wan Yan Lou Room himself, but because of the call of his subordinates, the whole plan failed.
Therefore, Wu Dazhuang really wants to make meritorious contributions, if he can catch the senior general who has just escaped, he can ask for a lot of information from him.
In this way, even if Yan Lou's room can't be captured alive, the effect is much the same.
So he rushed to the front alone, and the subordinates behind chased with all their might, but they were slightly behind.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, the guards in Wanyan Lou's room were not vegetarians.
Leng Buding turned around and threw a flying knife at Wu Dazhuang.
"Not good!"
