The Jin army seemed to have been in ambush in the snow for a long time, and when they rushed up, it was obvious that their bodies were a little stiff.

It would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the scouts to fail to detect the enemy's ambush, but now is not the time to say such things.

Tang Ning was inspecting the establishment of the outer wall of the camp when Leng Buding was attacked by the Jin soldiers, and he admitted that he was frightened.

Fortunately, there are Pei Xiantong and Wu in charge, and more than a dozen personal soldiers are by his side. Everyone surrounded Tang Ning in a group, and fought and retreated, Pei Xiantong was on Tang Ning's side to prevent someone from breaking in from the outside.

Jin Bing soon discovered that this person who was protected at the first time must be a high-ranking general within the Song army, so Jin Jun Mouke began to command the soldiers to attack Tangning's place with all their might.

Although the pro-soldiers are all composed of elite veterans in the Zhenguo army, they have a numerical disadvantage after all, and desperate resistance has not been able to stop the golden soldiers who have come up.

"The handsome man has been attacked! Brethren, come on! Protect the handsome! Someone in the camp saw this, yelled, and rushed over.

Seeing this, the other soldiers also followed him.

There was a person in the Jin Bing who could understand Chinese, and when he heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Their boss is in front!" The commander of the Song army is ahead! ”

When Mouke heard this, he became excited as if he were beaten with chicken blood: "Brothers! The enemy commander is in front! Kill! Capture the enemy commander alive, everyone will be rewarded! ”

The slavery system practiced by the Jin State made the soldiers of the Jin army extremely eager for military merit, and as long as they had merit in their hands, they could get rid of the status of inferior.

Hearing Mooke's roar, all the golden soldiers were enthusiastic. The monster screamed and rushed up.

During the siege of the city, the siege engine was a device that made it easier for the soldiers to climb the city wall. When encamped, the siege engine becomes a simple arrow tower.

The archers on the siege engine fired desperately at the Jin soldiers, but they could not stop their enthusiasm to capture Tang Ning alive.

Almost all the nearby Jin soldiers rushed towards Tang Ning's side, and Tang Ning had goosebumps when he looked at the dense crowd of people.

"Madame! You take Hou Ye away, we are here, you take Hou Ye to a safe place as soon as possible. Wu Tong Zhi turned his head and said to Pei Xiantong while shooting with a crossbow arrow.

Pei Xiantong naturally didn't care about the life or death of these people, she only had Tang Ning in her eyes. After hearing this, he nodded, and pulled Tang Ning to leave.

Tang Ning half-pushed and half-said: "No! How can I abandon you! ”

"Master Hou! If you don't leave and are caught by the Jurchens, it won't be something that can be solved by running. If you're not there, we'll be able to play a little more at ease.

You're here, but we're not going to be able to play well. ”

Tang Ning sighed and said, "Alas! You have to stay safe! ”

After that, he and Pei Xiantong ran into the military village without looking back. While running, he also commanded the Song troops who rushed over to protect him, and asked them to go and help Wu Tongzhi and the others.

Jin Bing looked at it and was anxious.

"The enemy commander is running away! Brothers, do your best! Come on! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" The crazy attack started from this moment, and every Jin soldier who knew that Tang Ning was the commander of the Song army rushed forward without fear of death.

Some of them even used their flesh to make way for the brothers behind them, which shows that their desire to win is quite strong.

However, after the Song army in the military village arrived, the Jin soldiers still fell into disadvantage. The Jin soldiers who attacked head-on were late, giving the Song army the opportunity to organize an effective resistance, and at the same time, Tang Ning successfully withdrew from the tent.

After Xiao Shi hurriedly walked into the tent to confirm that Tang Ning was fine, he looked around and asked, "Ten ...... What about the Wu system? ”

"He's still outside, you hurry up and bring someone to help him." Downing gasped.

Pei Xiantong ran fast, he was dragged by Pei Xiantong's arm, and he could only run desperately to keep up with her speed.

In less than a stick of incense, the Jin soldiers were defeated by the Song army.

The ambush was intercepted by the Song army on the east and west sides, and the Jin soldiers who rushed to support after hearing the movement on the north side did not arrive in time. The vanguard army is also the veteran of the Zhenguo Army and the elite of the rebel army, and dealing with the enemy's ambush is their inherent training course.

It is a matter of course that Jin Bing can't take advantage of anything. However, this is also thanks to Tang Ning's decisiveness, otherwise if he is caught by Jin Bing, it will be difficult to say whether he will win or lose.

Wu Tongzhi was slightly injured, and it is said that the angry Jin Jun Meng'an personally went into battle to meet him, and at the critical moment, Xiaoshi arrived to save him, otherwise he would have to move his head.

According to the intelligence of Wu Desi, the Jin soldiers deployed 30,000 defensive forces in Youzhou, these 30,000 people were all Jurchens transferred from Shangjing, and their combat strength was fierce.

In addition, there were 50,000 subordinate troops, which were part of the Song army that had been guarding Youzhou and surrendered after the defeat, and the Liao soldiers they captured.

These people are the equivalent of cannon fodder, although the combat effectiveness may not be too high. But after all, there are 50,000 people, which is quite a headache.

Previously, the Song army started to attack from Canzhou until Youzhou, and it was all about fighting to feed the war.

The transportation of grain and grass supplies in large quantities is destined to cost a lot on the road. In order to have sufficient reserves, the Song army confiscated the stocks in the four state capitals of Xuanzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, and Jizhou, but the grain in the hands of the local people was not used much.

Of course, if someone is willing to take the initiative to send it, then Song Jun will still gladly accept it.

Before, the grain and grass of the army in Wanyan Lou's room were captured, but in order to transport the prisoners, a lot was consumed, and even a lot was lost.

former

Soon, although they had just received supplies, they were only enough to feed the army for a month. If you don't capture Youzhou as soon as possible, I'm afraid that after a long time, you will be hungry.

The governor of Youzhou also implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness, relocated all the residents in Youzhou to the county seat, and collected the grain they used for the winter and distributed it uniformly.

They will either destroy all the areas that can produce food in the territory, or build a walled fort and send heavy troops to guard it, which is a very headache.

That's why Tang Ning led 30,000 pioneers to march straight to Youzhou, and he was ready to capture a county town as a foothold first, which could be regarded as attracting the attention of the defenders of Youzhou.

After Lu Qiren arrived, he went directly to attack Youzhou City, and he used all the general's cannons and grenades.

Don't ask for anything else, just seek to capture Youzhou City as quickly as possible.

The day after the ambush, Downing marched again. After coming to a nearby county town, he attacked directly without saying a word.

The Jin defenders in this county town have a bad headache, not long ago they sent troops to the junction of Zhuozhou and Youzhou to ambush the Song army, and now the city is empty, and the reinforcements will not arrive until five hours later.

Looking at the menacing appearance of the Song army, they didn't know if they could hold out for five hours.

When Tang Ning came, he brought a big general's cannon, and Liang Zhen also followed in the camp of the vanguard army.

When Tang Ning showed the general's cannon, the golden soldiers on the city wall who knew the goods shouted that it was not good.

With a bang, the city gate was shattered.

Liang Zhen did not aim at the city wall, and one cannon had to make a gap in the city wall, and at least three cannons had to be fired. So simply open the city gate directly, so that it is convenient for the soldiers to kill in.

As soon as the city gate was shattered, the dense Jin soldiers inside were exposed in front of the Song army.

After Liang Zhen loaded his ammunition, he fired another shot. The golden soldier inside the city gate had not yet come to his senses, so he used his body to take this blow.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and after the surrounding Jin soldiers were hit by this cannon, they were killed and wounded. Those who were lucky enough not to die were also bleeding from their ears, and there was a blurry scene in front of them.

"Kill!" As soon as the small stone roared, the Song army began to attack the city.

Six siege engines full of soldiers were pushed by hundreds of Song troops and approached the city walls of the county at great speed.

The infantrymen, also with their shields in hand, walked five hundred paces in front of the city gate and began to charge at an accelerated pace.

The sky was full of flying arrows coming and going, and Tang Ning, who was watching the excitement in the back, was almost shot by a stray arrow, but fortunately, Pei Xiantong reacted quickly and used her leather shield to help Tang Ning block this blow.

"Backwards...... Backwards"

Tang Ning hurriedly retreated fifty meters, and then he put his mind at ease and watched the excitement.
