The next morning, the army continued to march backwards, and the Song army never encountered a small amount of Jin soldiers again. Seven days later, a hundred thousand troops arrived on a grassland about 80 miles away from Datong City. The grassland was dozens of miles wide. The Datong water slowly flowed through the grassland. Liu Qi immediately ordered the camp to be set up here.

The 20,000 Song troops quickly cut off a forest ten miles away, and a large amount of wood was used as a camp. They quickly built a fence-style military camp covering an area of ​​about 1,000 acres, and built a sentry tower every fifty steps.

The reason why Liu Qi started to build a military camp eighty miles away was an effective strategy to deal with the Jurchen cavalry, which was called step by step. The military camp advanced in constant movement, so that the Jurchen cavalry faced the Song army's barracks forever.

At the third update, a hundred thousand troops set out again. After marching for thirty miles, they set up camp in the wilderness about fifty miles away from Datong City.

At the third update of the next day, a hundred thousand troops set out again, and at the fourth update of the day, the Song army only walked ten miles and camped about forty miles away from Datong City.

Liu Tie hurried to his brother's tent early in the morning. He bowed with his fists and said, "I am not aware of the governor!"

Liu Qi smiled and waved to his brother, "Come here, I have a task to you."

Liu Tie walked forward, "Does your brother think the Jin soldiers will come today?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "I hope they don't come. Let me fight a good siege and another street battle to wipe out the 20,000 cavalrymen, but I guess they will come today."

"What task will the brother give me?"

"I will give you ten thousand cavalrymen, and you will lead your army to the north of Datong City. Once the main force of the Jin army comes out of the city and attack the Song army camp, you will directly attack the city."

"Brother, did I ask me to use the thunder to explode the city gate?"

Liu Qi nodded, "The spy has already found out. The north gate of Datong Prefecture is an old wooden gate, and there is not even a suspension bridge. I will give you the opportunity to make a contribution this time. Whether you can regain your position depends on your performance."

"Abide by the order!"

Liu Tie was overjoyed and finally had the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his sins.

After leading 10,000 cavalry to the south for thirty miles, he turned around and headed northward and ran to the north of Datong City. Although he went around a big circle, he could effectively avoid the Jin soldiers and spies, and he could unconsciously go around to the north of Datong City.

............

Wanyan Chasat was a veteran in his forties. He was the consul of Wanyan Aguda, the founder of Jin Dynasty. He also made great achievements in the battle to destroy Liao and once served as the commander of the Southern Army. However, in the internal power struggle of the Jin Dynasty, he was resentful by Wu Qimai because he firmly opposed Wu Qimai's ascension to the throne. He was gradually marginalized and appointed as the commander of Xijing Road of Jin Dynasty and was in charge of Datong Prefecture.

It sounds good, for a prince, but in fact he was far away from the political center and the two hot spots of the war in the Song Dynasty and Mobei, so that he had no chance to make meritorious. When others made meritorious service, he stood still. In the Jin Kingdom, which was ranked by military merit, he gradually fell down.

Of course, Wanyan Chasus also knew the news of the 100,000 Song troops' northern expedition to Datong Prefecture. His spies were staring at the army northward. He originally wanted to use sneak attacks on the logistics of food and grass to force the Song army to withdraw, but unexpectedly, the capable general Pu Cha Yasu, whom he sent, eventually failed, and more than a thousand people were wiped out, which really disappointed him.

Wanyan Chasat stood on the top of the city and looked south. He had just received the news that the Song army marched north again last night for ten miles to set up a camp, only forty miles away from Datong City.

Wanyan Chasat was really embarrassed. Whether he sent troops or not, he had no effect if he sent fewer troops. He sent more troops and was afraid that the city would be lost. He now only had 19,000 troops, and it was difficult to dispatch troops. The other side had a 100,000 army!

But if the enemy does not send troops, once the enemy is at the city, he will start fighting with him to siege the city. What is the significance of his cavalry?

Deputy General Tuli La suggested: "The enemy will obviously not stop thirty miles away, and will definitely be at the city. The opponent will set out at the third day of the night. Why don't we launch an attack at this time and catch the enemy off guard?"

After thinking for a long time, Wanyan Chasatt finally decided to send troops to attack the Song army camp. If the attack was unfavorable, he would withdraw his troops immediately.

Before the third day of the night, he left the general Seolla and led two thousand troops to defend Datong City, while he led 17,000 cavalry to rush out of the city and kill the Song army camp forty miles away.

Just as the Jin soldiers rushed out of Datong City, they were immediately discovered by the Song army scouts. They divided into two groups and rushed back to the camp to report to the main general. The other group rushed to the north and reported to Liu Tie, who was ambushing north of Datong City.

The Jin soldiers were extremely fast. When they were still twenty miles away from the Song army camp, they were discovered by the sentries on the sentry tower. A large cloud suddenly rose in the clear night sky, completely obscuring the night sky to the north. The earth was rumbling and echoing. The sentry immediately judged that this was either a sandstorm or a Jin soldiers were coming.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’

The alarm bell rang rapidly, and the Song army, who were already ready, began to run in line and headed towards their own combat positions. Thirty thousand crossbowmen were deployed in front of the camp, preparing to fight against the Jin soldiers' attack on the camp.

Liu Qi had a lot of combat experience. He knew that thirty miles was an important psychological defense line for the cavalry. Once it broke through thirty miles, it would seriously affect the psychological advantages of the cavalry. Therefore, he judged that Wanyan Chashu would no longer tolerate himself continuing to approach the city wall. If he did not have the determination to defend the city and not fight, he would definitely come to raid when the Song army moved tonight.

The third update has passed, and Liu Qi still holds his troops, waiting for the Jin soldiers to come.

At this time, the earth was trembling. The Song army had already put away the tent and stood in the wilderness in the camp. The tall camp became the protective wall of the Song army. Thirty thousand crossbow arrows raised their magic arm and crossbows to be on the battlefield. Among them, nine thousand crossbow troops were deployed in the north, and seven thousand people were deployed on the other three sides. All the soldiers on the sentry tower retreated. Everything was ready. The camp was silent, waiting for the arrival of the war.

When the 17,000 cavalry were three miles away from the Northern Military Camp, they suddenly divided two branches, each with three thousand cavalry to attack the Song army's east and west camps. The remaining more than 10,000 cavalry were still staring at the Northern Military Camp, but their speed was significantly slower. Finally, they stopped about two hundred steps away from the Grand Military Camp, and the two thousand cavalry led accelerated and rushed straight to the gate of the military camp. They would directly break open the gate and enter the camp.

Liu Qi cursed secretly. Wanyan Cha was not stupid. Knowing that he was prepared, he only sent two thousand people to test the attack.

He had no choice but to yell, "Prepare to shoot!"

Nine thousand divine arms raised on the ground and aimed at the two thousand cavalry that were running closer and closer. Although there were only two thousand cavalry, they came fiercely and still had the momentum of galloping horses.

"shooting!"

When the enemy entered one hundred and fifty steps, Liu Qi issued a shooting order. The sound of the clapper sounded. First, three thousand arrows from the first row shot out, shooting towards the cavalry that was coming overwhelmingly. The arrows were like rain. Hundreds of people led by the leaders were caught in the arrows, but the cavalry behind them still ran rapidly and were not affected by the fallen soldiers. At this point in the war, they had no other way out except to fight to the death.

After the first row of three thousand people shot, they immediately retreated and installed arrows. The second row of three thousand crossbow troops stepped forward to fire. Three thousand arrows were shot densely at the enemy. Immediately after the third row of three thousand crossbow troops came forward to shoot. The third row of nine thousand soldiers rotated like a lantern, and arrows like storm were shot at two thousand cavalry again and again.

With just two rounds of six shootings, the two thousand cavalry finally completely collapsed and stopped at sixty steps. The remaining hundreds of cavalry turned around and fled in panic.

At this time, the Jin soldiers on both sides of the east and west were also beaten by the Song army's strong bow and crossbow, leaving more than a thousand corpses, and fleeing back in a panic.

The main force of the Jin army also quickly retreated, but they did not go far, but were staring at them three hundred steps away, looking for loopholes in the Song army camp, just like unwilling wolves, always patrolling around the prey.

Wanyan Chasatt was indeed unwilling to give up. His current military strength has dropped from 17,000 to 14,000, but he has not even recovered Mao from the Song army. How could he be willing to retreat easily?

At this time, a large area of ​​camp in the north suddenly fell forward, a hundred feet wide, revealing the dark inside of the camp. The Song army crossbowmen lined up behind the fence seemed to be caught off guard and retreated one after another.

The sudden flaw exposed in front of Wanyan Chashu made him both excited and puzzled. He suspected that there was a hook hidden in it, but when he looked closely, it was not like the Song army deliberately pulled it down, but fell down like the soil loosely, making people suspect that it was the consequence of the Song army's hastily camping. Wanyan Chashu's heart was beating wildly, and he could not resist this huge temptation.

He turned around and ordered, "Fifth Battalion, Sixth Battalion, and Seventh Battalion are here!"

"Woo————”

The low horn sounded, and the three thousand cavalry suddenly launched, their iron hooves rushing, rushing towards the Song army camp like a mountain torrent. What we greeted them was still dense arrows like a storm. The Jurchen cavalry kept screaming and fell down, but gradually approached the Song army camp.

Liu Qi sneered, "Light up the fire!"

At this time, countless rockets flew into the air and shot towards the dense enemy troops. Their target was not the enemy troops, but the ground. The turbid oil on the ground was ignited and quickly burned, spreading extremely rapidly. The war horses neighed and were extremely frightened. The Song soldiers stopped shooting and lay on the ground one after another.

Wanyan Chashu suddenly reacted. The Song army deployed a trap in front of the camp. He was trapped. He hurriedly ordered: "Sound the gold quickly and withdraw the troops!"

But it was too late. Dozens of thunders buried underground exploded continuously. The explosion sounded thrilling, rocks penetrated the sky, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and thick smoke filled the ground. The Jin soldiers and horses could not stand the explosion and neighed and ran wildly.

When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the ground was covered with corpses of people and war horses, and the horses with broken legs were blown up and tried to get up desperately. The undead soldiers lay in a pool of blood and moaned, as if they were in hell.

Three thousand cavalrymen were shot to death and more than 2,000 people were killed. Only more than 700 people behind escaped by chance. They turned their horses and ran away. The wilderness was full of frightened and galloping war horses.

Liu Qi suddenly realized the fighter's plane, and he immediately made an order: "Twenty thousand cavalrymen attack!"

The camp gate opened, and 20,000 cavalry rushed out, and under Liu Qi's personal leadership, he broke out of the camp and chased the fleeing enemy.

.........

At the same time when the enemy began to attack the Song army camp, the 10,000 cavalry led by Liu Tie quietly appeared one mile north of Datong City. There was only an empty military camp outside the northern city, and the remaining two thousand gold soldiers had all retreated into the city.

At this time, the three soldiers were holding a huge city-burning thunder and moving closer to the city gate. They moved quickly, sometimes crawling, sometimes bent down and run, gradually approaching the city gate.

The defenders on the city were very vigilant, but most of the soldiers were deployed in the south city, and there were only two hundred soldiers in the north city. In addition to the soldiers standing guard, two patrol teams patrolled back and forth at the city.

At this time, the three soldiers were only twenty steps away from the city gate. They were about to get up and run towards the city gate when they were suddenly discovered by the post on the top of the city. The post was shouting, and the soldiers on the city gate rushed towards this side.

Seeing that the situation was critical, three Song soldiers immediately shook the fire note and lit the fuse. One soldier rushed towards the city gate with the thunder in the sky. The soldiers on the city wall fired arrows one after another. The soldier scored five or six arrows in a company and fell to the ground. At this time, the fuse of the thunder in the sky had burned into the thunder body, but it was still ten steps away from the city gate. Another Song soldier rushed forward, picked up the thunder in the sky and threw it at the city gate.

Just as the sky-shaking thunder hit the city gate, a dazzling red light burst out, and the sky-shaking thunder exploded. The Song soldier was unable to reach the ground and was flew dozens of steps away by a powerful shock wave. He died on the spot. The third Song soldier was also shocked to pieces and died twenty steps away from the city gate.

The three Song soldiers all paid the price of their lives, but the northern city gate of Datong City was blown to pieces. The city gate as high as two feet high was blown to a circle and a few feet wide. A large hole appeared in the middle, which was 100 feet high and 10 feet wide, revealing the dark city.

Liu Tie shouted, "Get into the city!"
Chapter completed!
