Soldiers had already rushed down the city to report military information to the chief general Li Yanqing.

Soon, Li Yanqing and a group of generals walked up to the city and looked into the distance.

"Terminal, why did the Jin soldiers come from Jiexiu County?" Wang Gui asked in confusion.

Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "Which winter did you go to Mengjin to cross the Yellow River?"

Wang Gui scratched his head, "It seems that heavy snow in winter sealed Jingxing and Fuyangxing. Taihang Mountain cannot be passed! I understand that the Jin soldiers could not pass Taihang Mountain, so they had to take a long way from Jin and north to south."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "This army is Wanyan Chang's army. When he comes back from Luoyang, there should be 20,000 Jurchen cavalry, 20,000 Khitan and 10,000 Han troops. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is relatively powerful, and the Khitan and Han troops are just average."

Liu Qi asked hesitantly: "The president said they will attack Nancheng tonight. Is this news reliable?"

"It should be reliable, it depends on whether Wanyan Chang swallows this bait."

The Jin soldiers set up a camp ten miles away from the southern city, and Wanyan Chang led more than a thousand cavalry to check the situation in Taiyuan City. Like Fushi County, Yan'an Prefecture, the Song army added a thick layer of ice shell outside the Taiyuan City, which was crystal clear and shining with magnificent colors in the sun.

But Wanyan Chang frowned. This ice shell would bring huge resistance to him using the thunder to siege the city and seriously hinder his siege plan.

At this time, Wanyan Thiri, the commander of ten thousand men, said: "Why let the Han soldiers test the attack on the city and see how the defense is at the top of the city?"

Wanyan Chang said: "Forcibly siege the city is just a bad strategy. It is best to use strategy to seize the city, otherwise our cavalry will not be able to exert its advantages."

Another ten thousand men, Ahu, also said: "I wonder what the situation is in Cangcheng, Taiyuan? There are a lot of food and supplies there. Will we send someone to see it?"

"I don't need to see this. The Song army has captured Taiyuan for eight days. Eight days are enough for them to transport things back to the city. Now we are not short of supplies. I am just thinking about how to seize the city. Marshal asked us to take back Taiyuan at all costs. I am afraid that we can't seize the city, but we will be ridiculed!"

As he was speaking, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a personal soldier reported, "Report to the Deputy Commander, Jiexiu County sent a pigeon letter!"

Wanyan Chang hurriedly said, "Take me the pigeon letter!"

"This pigeon letter must have been sent to Jiexiu County yesterday in Taiyuan City, and there must be news inside."

Wanyan Chang also knew that there was a special Jin army in Taiyuan City, dressed as ordinary people and hid in the city. After the Song army broke through the city, the team must have not been exposed. Before in Jiangzhou, they even sent themselves information. Wanyan Chang hoped that this army could cooperate inside and outside and cooperate with him to capture Taiyuan City.

Wanyan Chang took the letter and read it quickly. The final date of signature was indeed yesterday. He smiled at the two ten thousand men and said, "The ambush in the city asked us to sneak attack Nancheng at the third update tonight. They will open the city gate and raise the fire as a letter!"

"I'm afraid the Song army is ready, so it won't be that easy to capture the city at night!"

Wanyan Chang said coldly: "Everything has risks. You can't just stop doing it because there is risks. No matter whether it is easy to seize the city or not, you have to try it out before you know that if we can capture Taiyuan tonight, and next time we meet Marshal Du, my waist will be straightened."

That night, Wanyan Chang led 10,000 Khitan infantry and 10,000 Jurchen cavalry to ambush three miles away from the southern city of Taiyuan. It was almost three o'clock in the morning. It was particularly cold at night. Outside was a snowy field. Two thousand Jurchen cavalry gathered behind a building and looked at the south gate with the cover of the building.

This two thousand cavalry is a raiding army. Once the city gate is opened, they will enter the city as quickly as possible, creating conditions for the entry of the army behind them.

The city was very quiet, and soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

At this moment, there were suddenly shouts of killing and the sound of swords fighting each other on the top of the city. The screams were shrill and spread very far at night.

Wanyan Chang suddenly straightened his body, staring at the top of the city with his eyes focused, his heart pounding with nervousness. He pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his knuckles turned white.

Soon, the screams gradually disappeared, and a fire appeared on the top of the city wall, the city gate began to open, and the suspension bridge slowly lowered.

The ambush in the city had been successful. Wanyan Chang no longer hesitated and drew out his sword and shouted: "Strike!"

Two thousand cavalry suddenly moved out and rushed towards the city gate like an iron stream. Behind the two thousand cavalry were ten thousand Khitan infantry. They ran wildly with spears and swords in their hands. They were the main force in capturing the city.

Two miles away arrived in a blink of an eye. Two thousand cavalry rushed into the city like arrows, and ten thousand infantry rushed to a hundred steps away. At this time, Wanyan Chang suddenly realized something was wrong. Although the fire was lit on the top of the city, the ambush in the city could not be seen, and there were no reinforcements on the other side of the city. The city was terriblely quiet.

When Wanyan Chang realized something was wrong, a sound of chung suddenly came from the top of the city. The ambushers stood up on the top of the city, and arrows shot towards the Jin soldiers running like storms. The Jin soldiers were caught off guard, and large areas were shot down, and screams could be heard everywhere.

At the same time, the suspension bridge began to be pulled up, the city gate creaked and closed. Suddenly, fires burst into flames, and flames burned, sweeping into the urn filled with cavalry.

Arrows on both sides of the urn city were like rain, shooting towards the cavalry below. The flames soared into the air, ruthlessly swallowing the terrified cavalry, but the cavalry could no longer retreat. The city cave blocked by the fire and arrow rain, the urn city in the south city was very large, enough to accommodate three thousand people, but the two thousand cavalry were still a little crowded. At this time, the entire urn city was engulfed by the urn city. The urn city was like hell, with ghosts and wolves howling, and shrill crying and screaming made many Song soldiers unable to help but cover their ears and dare not look again.

Five thousand crossbowmen held the magic arm and shot arrows at the infantry outside the city. More than 3,000 infantry running in front were shot and killed. The infantry behind turned around and ran for life. Wanyan Chang in the distance was stunned. He opened his mouth wide and could not close for a long time. He watched the gate of the Nancheng city closed again and the suspension bridge was pulled up again.

This sneak attack on the Jin soldiers fell into a trap set by Li Yanqing, and lost two thousand cavalry and three thousand steps, as if he had a hard blow, which made the Jin soldiers' morale depressed.

Especially Wanyan Chang, his proud heart was severely damaged, which also affected his prestige in the army to a certain extent. This sneak attack made Wanyan Chang no longer dare to underestimate the Song army and disrupt his plan. For a moment, he did not dare to launch a siege easily.

......

Wanyan Xie was not inferior to the Song Dynasty's army when the Jin soldiers invaded the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the Song Dynasty and used war to support wars and replenish supplies, after several defeats in the siege, Wanyan Xie, the commander of the Southern Expedition, had already realized the importance of food and grass supply, and he began to establish the Jin army's food and grass supply system.

Although it is essentially plundering the people's food, it has changed from the individual plunder of the Jin soldiers to the planned plunder of the governments of the war consular areas. The governments of the occupied areas will collect civilians and large chariots to transport food and grass to the Jin soldiers on the front line.

On the narrow official road of Shique Valley, a grain convoy composed of thousands of large trucks was heading northward. The snow had already been crushed by the large trucks, and ice was formed at night, making the road particularly bumpy and difficult to transport.

In the middle of the team, a big cart pulled by two donkeys was struggling to move forward. The fodder on the cart was piled up like a hill, and there were two people sitting below, an old man and a young man, wearing a short shirt and cloth, with a slightly handsome face between his eyebrows and eyes. Although his figure was not tall, he still looked very powerful and flexible.

"Young man, you used to be a soldier!" the old man asked with a smile.

The young man was Yan Qing. As the leader of the intelligence scout, he was ordered to collect the logistics food and grass of the Jin soldiers. The forage truck he was riding from Hongdong County, Jinzhou and transported it to Jiexiu County.

Yan Qing was secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, the old man actually saw his military identity. He asked with a smile: "How can you see it?"

"Your tiger's mouth is covered with calluses. This is a trace of martial arts practice. Your walking posture is different from that of ordinary people. You can tell at a glance that you have trained."

Yan Qing smiled, "I have participated in the Archery Club in my hometown, and basically all the people over us have trained."

"You are from Daming Mansion!"

"Can you hear this?"

The old man nodded, "I have been to Daming Mansion, and I can hear my brother's accent."

Yan Qing sighed, "Daming Mansion was occupied by the Jin soldiers the year before yesterday. We fled to Hedong. Unexpectedly, Hedong was also occupied by the Jin soldiers. When will the chaos be the beginning?"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no choice but to endure it, obey it a little more, and live with it!"

The Han soldier came over and shouted, "What are you talking about?"

The old man quickly smiled and said, "We are worried about whether the big car can hold on to Jiexiu County. This is too difficult to walk."

"You have to leave even if you are difficult to leave. If you want to survive, shut up and don't talk nonsense!"

"June, the villain understands."

The soldier snorted and left, and the old man spat at his back, "What a trick to sell off his ancestors!"
