Wanyan Zongwang is a very cautious person, he did not rashly lead the army to attack Kaifeng directly, but on the way to the army, he first sent a small team of people to investigate the news, but the news he got made him very surprised, the Song army did not defend the city wall, but deployed troops outside the city.
It was hard for him to believe this, because judging from Li Qi's previous series of resolute strategies to clear the wall, it was simply unbelievable to believe that anyone would judge that Li Qi would definitely defend the city wall and not run out and fight the enemy to the death.
So when Yan Zongwang led the army to enter the realm of Kaifeng Mansion, he stopped, climbed a high mountain with a cadre of generals, and looked towards Kaifeng Mansion, only to see that the Song army camp stretched for more than 1,000 meters, vertical and horizontal, and was densely packed.
This made Wanyan Zongwang and the others dumbfounded, what kind of medicine is in Li Qi's gourd, is he really not able to fight, or is he playing tricks and scaring people.
Liu Yanzong was surprised: "At this scale, there are more than 100,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in this suburb, so how many people and horses are hoarded in this Kaifeng Mansion!" β
Wanyan Zongwang was also shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Pharmacist Guo, this is inevitably a big difference from what you said at the beginning.
Guo Yaoshi shook his head and said resolutely: "It is impossible, the forbidden army in the city does not exceed 200,000 at most." β
Yan Mu frowned and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't he have arranged all the soldiers and horses outside the city, they want to fight us to the death!" β
Wanyan Zongbi ha: "A cook is a cook after all, let the city wall not be guarded, and run outside to fight with us, God really helps me." As he spoke, he looked at Wanyan Sect and said, "Second brother, you have 20,000 horses for me." I immediately went and fetched the cook's head. β
Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said: "Don't be impulsive, that cook is cunning and tight, he must have his reasons for doing this, we can't attack rashly, let's send someone to test it first." Commanded to go down. Set up camp on the spot. β
This really can't blame him for being careful, because they have been fighting the Song army these days, and the Song army is almost hiding on the city wall, but Li Qi went the opposite way and deployed all the soldiers and horses outside the city, which is too different from the style of the Song army. This is either looking for death, or there is a trick, it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious in his heart!
As everyone knows, Li Qi just wants to be confronted with him.
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and said, "Deputy Commander, you immediately lead three thousand cavalry as the vanguard." Go to find out what is true and don't be aggressive, focus on harassment. β
Liu Yanzong didn't understand what the situation was, so it was better to be on the safe side.
The moon was in the sky, and there was silence outside the city, and the mysterious moonlight seemed even more peaceful tonight. But there was a chill.
Just after the third watch, in the north of Kaifeng City, the sound of horses' hooves protruded, and the Jin army suddenly sounded the horn of attack in the north of the Song army!
It turned out that Liu Yanzong divided his troops into three routes, took advantage of the night, quietly approached the Song army camp, and waited to enter the attack range, and at the same time attacked Gaoshangang, Liudian, and Fengqiao Town, the outermost part of Kaifeng. There are only 1,000 men per army, because this is just a harassing attack. didn't plan to make any gains, because Liu Yanzong wanted to see what the strength of the Kaifeng forbidden army was, and whether he was singing about the empty city plan, so he deliberately divided his troops, hoping to test some more places. Just in case.
Anyway, the cavalry is fast and can run away at any time.
The Jin army suddenly rushed out from all directions, the sound of killing was everywhere, the defending Song army was either a long-lost battlefield, or a new soldier, this has not seen anyone yet, just listening to this voice, they are all trembling with fright, and they have not yet seen how many people there are on the other side, and where the other party is coming from, the guard shouted loudly: "Hurry up and release the arrows, quickly release the arrows!" β
The Song army camp was extremely confused.
Boom Boom!
The glow of the gunpowder explosion is especially dazzling at night.
The explosion also woke up the people of the city, is it finally coming? All of a sudden, nervousness, fear, excitement, and worry all came to mind.
What's even worse is that tonight Li Qi knew that Yan Zongwang's army had been pressed and couldn't sleep, so he happened to be patrolling with Yue Fei in this area, which was thanks to Yan Zongwang not knowing, if he knew, it would not be harassment, at least 20,000 people would have to be sent.
"Report! -- Qi Yu Bu Shuai, the enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack on Gaoshangang, Liudian, and Fengqiao Town not long ago. β
Since it was night, the sentry couldn't figure out the situation, and when he saw that his side was so flustered, he thought that the other party was attacking in a big way.
"What?"
Richie exclaimed.
Yue Fei was also taken aback, he had just found out in the afternoon, the enemy army was still some distance away from the seal, he thought that the enemy army had just arrived, at least he had to deploy a little, how did he know that this Jin army didn't even stand firm on his heels and hit him, and he also looked a little flustered, but then he immediately calmed down, and hurriedly said to Li Qi: "Bu Shuai, you can avoid it first, I will be here here." β
Li Qi frowned slightly, did not answer, but probed to the sentry: "How many people are the enemy coming?" β
"It's not clear."
"Then don't go and find out."
"Yes!"
Yue Fei said again: "Bu Shuai, now that the situation is unknown, you should take a moment." β
Li Qi glared at Yue Fei slightly, and said, "Yue Fei, if you are disturbing my army's heart, be careful that I will deal with your military law." β
Yue Fei bowed his head and said, "Yue Fei is guilty. β
"Report!"
After a while, another sentry ran over, "Qi Qi is handsome, there are only about a thousand enemy troops on each road. β
More than a thousand people? Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought that those Jin troops were coming for Li Qi, and said to Li Qi: "Bu Shuai, the other party may just come to test, in these three places, I have arranged more than 3,000 people to defend each of them, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to send some people over now." β
His defense is very deep, the front is light and the rear is heavy, the first line of defense only sent a small number of troops stationed, relying on fortresses, mountains to guard, heavy troops are placed in the second line of defense, and there is also a mobile force, ready to go to the rescue, even if the first line of defense is lost, it will not have a fatal impact on the battle situation.
But within a cup of tea after he finished saying this, another sentry came running and said, "Qi Yu Bushuai, Gao Shanggang and Liu Dian have already been captured by the enemy." β
That's too fast, right? Li Qi blinked blankly. "Youβwhat did you say?" β
The sentinel added: "The enemy seems to know our rockets very well, and deliberately spread out the formation, plus it is night, and it is difficult for our bed crossbows and bow crossbows to exert their power and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Moreover, the enemy cavalry was so brave that weβwe simply couldn't stop it. β
"Pharmacist Guo, you bastard, if it falls into my hands, I will definitely let you die." Li Qi immediately scolded angrily.
Yue Fei was also speechless for a while. Three thousand people, and there is a static defense, but the opponent's 1,000 rangers are defeated, he knows that the Song army is not as good as the Jin army, but he didn't expect such a big difference.
This fight is really a high judgment!
Of course. These 3,000 men and horses are not on the fourth army, but an ordinary forbidden army, these forbidden troops can be said to be grinding guns in battle, and more importantly, they have never fought any battles at all, and their combat effectiveness is simply weak, and as soon as they go into battle, they will encounter the strongest army in the world today. Seeing the Jin army rushing over, I didn't know what to do, and I was instantly rushed by this thousand Jin army, and fled in the wilderness, but this was allowed by Li Qi, this line of defense can be defended, and if it can't be defended, it will be retreated, and this second line of defense is the key.
But where did Yue Fei expect that the Jin Army would be able to break through so quickly, his in-depth defense. Based on the fact that you can at least resist a little, who knows that this situation will occur, this is also because he has not really fought with the Jin army.
This is really a gap in strength, which cannot be made up by weapons alone, and it is not something that can catch up in a day or two.
Richie didn't fight though. But he was good at scheming, knowing that the other party was a temptation, he groaned for a while, and suddenly said: "This is a good opportunity for us." β
"Whatβwhat chance?" Yue Fei was stunned.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Since the other party is a tentative move, I guess I didn't expect it to become like this, they must also feel a little overwhelmed, Yue Fei, you immediately transfer three cavalry shots, and five thousand cavalry go to the rescue, I estimate that it will be difficult for you to fight with the enemy, but no matter what, you must play with momentum, even if you shoot a rocket into the sky, you have to light up the sky for me." β
When Yue Fei heard this, he immediately understood that Li Qi's move was not really going to a decisive battle with the enemy, because the Jin army might not still continue to attack, and his purpose was to use it to improve morale
The Great Tent of the Golden Army.
"Report! In less than half an hour after sending troops, our army captured Liudian and Gaoshangang. β
"What?"
Liu Yanzong also Huo Ran got up, the expression on his face was more exaggerated than Li Qi, and said, "What's going on?" Isn't it clear what I'm talking about, I just asked you to harass, who let you really fight? β
The sentry said very aggrievedly: "Dutong, this really can't be two generals, they really just want to harass, but the other party is too vulnerable, our soldiers rushed over, and before they really fought, they were defeated and fled." β
Liu Yanzong frowned violently and said, "Could this not be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy?" β
"Not really, they had at least two or three thousand men standing there, and there was no ambush on all sides."
Liu Yanzong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he just wanted to harass and test the truth, how did he know that he would take it like this, he had no follow-up plan at all, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The general beside him laughed and said: "I think the forbidden army in Kaifeng is nothing more than that, they can't resist our harassment, if we come to the real thing, I'm afraid it won't take a day to break through Kaifeng." β
Liu Yanzong waved his hand and said, "This is only the first line of defense, so you can't be careless." β
The sentinel said again: "Deputy Commander, what should we do now?" Whether to continue fighting, or to retreat. β
Liu Yanzong sighed: "This is really a good opportunity, if I had known that the Song army was so unbearable, I would have asked the prison army to ask for more troops, maybe I could really open a gap." That's it, that's it, it's long in the future, Mingjin will collect the troops! With that, he couldn't help but laugh again.
It was a lot of fun.
In fact, the most dazed is not Liu Yanzong, nor Li Qi, but the two thousand gold army, they are really just harassing, but harassing and harassing, they inexplicably occupy Liudian and Gao Shanggang, at this time they don't know what to do, whether to fight, and retreat, or to destroy the enemy's defense equipment.
By the time Yue Fei personally led eight thousand reinforcements to rush over, the Jin army had just retreated, and they were so overwhelmed that they even forgot to destroy some defensive equipment.
After a long time, I really couldn't figure out who hit whom and I was caught off guard.
Yue Fei looked at the retreating formation of the Jin army from a distance, he was in an orderly manner, not chaotic at all, and he was not carried away by the victory, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, our army is far inferior to the other party! But at this time, he was not allowed to think too much, and ordered the soldiers to wave their flags and shout, the sound of war drums and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the rockets fired indiscriminately, which really lit up the sky.
Where did those Jin troops still have the mind to fight at this time, and when they heard the sound of killing and explosions behind them, they hurriedly rode away.
Yue Fei "chased" for a while, then did not continue to "chase", and then ordered the soldiers to shout and scold for a while, make some movements, and the task was completed.
What a joy for all! (To be continued)
