Chapter 174: Lucky
On the way to Yanzhou City, there is an official road that is not particularly spacious. This road is an alternative route, because this road is relatively easy to ambush, and because the road is narrow, the army cannot be used, in case of a real ambush, I am afraid that it will not be easy to escape at that time.
When going to another road, they had to pass through here, so the Song army saw a group of Jin army cavalry here.
"Song dogs! Come and catch grandpa! Come on, come on! Don't you dare? What a bunch of stupid dogs, who only know how to take advantage of people's danger, hahaha! β
ββ¦β¦β
They taunted as much as they could on this road, and they could almost see five big characters on the door of their heads, and there was an ambush behind them.
This group of cavalry even took off their pants and slapped Song Jun's ass in the cold weather, although it was a little naΓ―ve, but I have to say that this trick is very useful.
At least many Song Jun were trembling with anger, eager to rush up and bite these bastards to death in the next second.
Tang Ning planned to ignore this, and the gang almost told him that there was an ambush behind them, and there was no reason to deliberately enter their encirclement.
However, Lu Qiren seems to have a different opinion on this matter.
"Marshal, you say, if they have arranged an ambush on this road, why do they go to the extra mile and send people to provoke the generals outside? Judging from the future, this is an empty city plan! β
"Oh?" Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "How do you say this?" β
"Dashuai, as long as you are familiar with the nearby terrain, you know that this official road is very easy to ambush. Once the army passes by, the formation will be stretched very long, and there will be nowhere to escape.
If the last general is an enemy general, he will definitely set up an ambush here, but the last general will not send people to the intersection to attract enemy troops, because doing so is not only risky, but also means revealing intentions.
Dashuai, Yunzhong Mansion Road was captured by the Jin soldiers not long ago, and the Jin soldiers here are definitely not simple characters, which are completely different from the Jin generals who eat and wait for death on Yanshan Mansion Road.
Therefore, the last general guessed that this was probably the enemy's plan to empty the city. He sent these people here to attract attention, so that we felt that there was an ambush he had set up in this way, and that we were going to take another road.
In fact, the place where they were ambushing was not here, but the other way.
So, Dashuai, this must have been done on purpose. Let's just go this way! β
Tang Ning thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lu Qiren said was not unreasonable. The other party sent such a team of cavalry to mock at the intersection, which was really a bit of a cover-up.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Tang Ning decided to send scouts to investigate.
He first asked Wang Sunsin to lead people through the area, and then pretended that he couldn't resist provoking anger. Although the cavalry was well protected, they were facing Wang Sunchen.
One person and one arrow, two at once lay down. When the other cavalry saw this, they were terrified and fled into the official road.
"Damn, chase me!" Wang Sunsin waved his hand, and he had already prepared
The cavalry scouts rushed in at once, and in a short time disappeared into the dead wood and snowdrifts on both sides of the road.
Tang Ning waited in place for an hour before the scout came back and reported: "Dashuai, no one ......"
"Sure enough." Lu Qiren's face was overjoyed, he looked at Tang Ning and said, "Dashuai, let's go this way!" β
"Hmm." Downing nodded, and the whole army began to shift their direction.
The Jin soldiers who were ambushing on the other side had already seen the vanguard of the Song army, and suddenly, the vanguard of the Song army turned their heads and began to walk back, and they were all a little confused.
"What's going on?" The general of the Jin Army touched his head and asked, "Why did these Song dogs suddenly turn around?" β
"I don't know...... the deputy next to him blinked, and suddenly his heart chuckled, and asked, "It can't be that they found out that we weren't ambushed over there, right?" β
"Oops!" The general slapped his thigh and hurriedly said, "Quick!" Let the brethren withdraw to the city! β
As soon as the general shouted, the deputy also panicked. This time, they ran outside to ambush 60,000 people, just to annihilate the Song army in this place in one fell swoop.
Who knew that they would not be fooled at all, if they found out that there were only 8,000 defenders in Yanzhou City, then the matter would be a big deal!
We must rush back to Yanzhou City as soon as possible!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The world is unpredictable, life is in the world, and unsatisfactory things are nine times out of ten. The more you don't think about what happens, the more it will happen to you. The more you think about it day and night, the less it will appear in front of you.
Although Lu Qiren gave Tang Ning advice on the way to the march, saying that since the Jin soldiers wanted to ambush us, then the garrison in their city must be very empty.
But he never expected that this garrison force would be so empty.
After a rain of arrows, the city was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for the Jin soldiers to resist. However, by this time, the Song army had already ascended from the city walls in all directions.
The city of Yanzhou was broken in an instant, and the three gates of the east, west and south were lost at once. The Jin soldiers who fled for their lives poured out from the north gate, and then they were blocked by the cavalry troops led by Liu Qi.
Four-legged chasing two-legged, that scene should not be too tragic. However, Song Jun received this kind of treatment before, in a sense, this is called a tooth for a tooth.
When the garrison of Yanzhou returned with his army, the remaining troops of the Song army had already begun to enter the city. He was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
shouted: "Song dog! I'm not done with you! After that, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing this, the deputy had no choice but to order the soldiers to retreat to New State.
Tang Ning originally thought that everyone else had gathered 75,000 troops here to deal with him, and thought it was a tough battle, but he didn't expect this victory to come so easily.
The world is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable.
After listening to the confessions of the captured Jin soldiers, Tang Ning burst into tears
I can't laugh at it.
Although it was not possible for Yanzhou to have a hard encounter with Jin Bing on this trip, it was also a good thing.
Yang Ying was chasing the fleeing Jin soldiers when he spotted a large number of Jin troops on the way to retreat, and judging from the route of their retreat, they should have been preparing to go to Xinzhou.
There were a lot of war horses in the city of Yanzhou, and Tang Ning thought to himself that since their large army had withdrawn to Xinzhou, it would definitely be no problem to send people to attack Ruzhou.
So he sent Lu Qiren to lead 40,000 soldiers and drove straight to Ruzhou.
In addition, he sent people to attack the surrounding county seats, and he was in the Yanzhou Mansion, visiting the wounded, calculating supplies, and waiting for the arrival of the Zhizhou appointed by the imperial court.
It took Lu Qiren six days to capture the city of Ruzhou, and another three days to recover the surrounding county seats. Leaving 20,000 soldiers to garrison, he returned to Yanzhou with the remaining 15,000 people.
At this time, the governor appointed by the imperial court was also late, but there was a reason why he came so late.
He brought 60,000 soldiers over to consolidate the defenses of Yanzhou and Ruzhou. For the sake of not having to leave troops to help him defend, Tang Ning forgave him for being late.
The Jin soldiers in Xinzhou were still waiting for the Song army's attack, but they didn't expect that the Song army's next target was Wuzhou.
When Wuzhou fell, there were only three state capitals left in the entire sixteen states of Yanyun that had not yet been recovered.
NSW, Ulju and Yunju.
There were about 80,000 Jin soldiers waiting to compete with the Song army in Xinzhou, and Guo Cheng should have been responsible for recovering Ulzhou, but he did not dare to send troops out.
Because once he does this, the Jin army in Yunzhou is very likely to send troops directly to Shuozhou.
And after Tangning captured Wuzhou, a piece of news also made the Song army vigilant.
Wanyan Aguta finally captured Emperor Tianzuo alive, and Yelu Dashi led 8,000 remnants of the army to flee north.
This was something to celebrate for the Jin army, as the war between them and the Liao was finally over.
Emperor Tianzuo was captured, and the orthodoxy of the Liao State fell on Yelu Dashi. And the land that originally belonged to the Liao State is gone. Yelu Dashi has no place to stay, and the Liao State has fallen.
Although the glory of the Khitans will continue further north by Yelu Dashi, that is a story for another time.
For Song Jun, this is not good news. This means that Wanyan Aguta and his 300,000 troops have been freed up to deal with the Song army.
This 300,000 is not a bluff of 300,000, when Wanyan Agu set out for the expedition, he led 50,000 soldiers and horses to sit in the city.
The collection of prisoners used as cannon fodder alone is no less than 50,000. Not to mention that the Jin Kingdom came one after another with a force that claimed to be 500,000, but in fact there were only 200,000.
So now the Jin army is counted as cannon fodder, and the 400,000 troops are not fools.
Tang Ning looked at the spy report in his hand and had a terrible headache......
