In the main tent of the original monk, Zhao Xiaoyi stood aside with uneasiness. He had never seen Wu Dutong with such a serious face. Before that, Zhao Xiaoyi had seen Wu Dutong at least five times. He always had a smile on his face and his eyes were filled with emotion.
of goodwill.
But now, Wu Dutong's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and murderous intent shot out from time to time in his eyes. Zhao Xiaoyi realized that the problem might be serious.
Wu Jie was pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his hands. The problem was of course very serious. Maybe all 12,000 of them would be wiped out on top of Monk Yuan.
After a while, he said to the soldiers in a hoarse voice: "Go quickly and ask Wu Dutong and Liu Dutong to come to my place!"
The soldiers ran out, and Wu Jie said to Zhao Xiaoyi: "Go down and rest first. I'll find you later."
Zhao Xiaoyi did not dare to ask any more questions, so he bowed and retreated.
Wu Jie walked to the tent door with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky and sighed, "A scholar is ruining his country!"
Half an hour later, Wu Gao and Liu Qi hurried to the handsome tent.
"Brother, what happened?" Wu Gao asked as soon as he entered the tent.
"You guys sit down first!"
Wu Jie asked the two of them to sit down and handed Chen Qing's letter to them, "The situation is very serious. Take a look!"
The two of them quickly read the text messages, and Wu Gao frowned and said: "If Liu Ziyu's plan had been adopted and the city was built in Wangjianpo, the situation would not be as passive as it is today."
Wu Jie waved his hand, "It's useless to talk about it now. The key is what should we do? Wang Jianpo Camp has been lost, and Chen Qing has too few troops. Once the opponent divides their troops again, 10,000 troops will monitor the Ji Wangpo Camp, and 20,000 gold soldiers will
Kill Monk Yuan behind him, and attack Wanyan Wushu from both front and back, we're done!"
Wu Gao and Liu Qi looked at each other, and both fell silent.
Wu Jie said anxiously: "What time is it now? If you have anything to say, just say it directly, Wu Jie, you can tell me!"
Wu Jie directly called his brother's name. Wu Gao hesitated and said: "Brother is right to be worried, but the current situation seems that Wanyan Wushu did not think of this. This is our opportunity to withdraw our troops."
Wu Jie shook his head, "Wanyan Wushu has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he not have thought of this? It must be that he is a little afraid of Chen Qing, so he has been unable to make up his mind. Once the battle at Jiwangpo is beneficial to the Jin soldiers, he will definitely divide his troops.
, it’s just a matter of one or two days.”
At this time, Liu Qi said slowly: "Chen Qing means that we should withdraw to Dashan Pass immediately. This is what he means by buying time for us. General Wu, we must withdraw our troops immediately. We cannot live up to the price paid by Chen Qing's army.
We must retreat before Wanyan Wushu reacts."
Both of them mentioned withdrawing the troops, and the corner of Wu Jie's mouth twitched heavily. The monk originally defended the army for two years, but he gave it up because of Sima Qu Yifei's objection.
Wu Ga fully understood his brother's mood and advised him: "Chen Qing's thousands of troops cannot stop tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. Once the Jin soldiers attack with all their strength, he will not be able to defend for three days. As his brother said, if two
Ten thousand gold soldiers come from behind. Even if they don't attack us, they just cut off our retreat. We will starve to death in Monk Plains in one winter. Brother, winter is coming soon. We must retreat to Dashan Pass and wait until next spring to make plans.
.”
Wu Jie was just heartbroken by Shang Yuan. He had not lost his mind. He also knew that Chen Qing could not delay for long and he had no time to hesitate.
"All right!"
Wu Jie finally made up his mind and said: "We will begin to evacuate the food, grass and baggage tonight, and the entire army will withdraw from Dasanguan within three days at the latest!"
Wu Jie sent someone to find Zhao Xiaoyi again, handed him a gold medal and said to him: "Give this gold medal to Commander Chen and say that we have accepted his suggestion and immediately withdraw our troops back to Dashan Pass. We asked him to break out of the encirclement in three days.
This gold medal can be transported from Immortal Prison to Hanzhong."
Zhao Xiaoyi accepted the gold medal, and Wu Jie asked someone to bring him a letter eagle, saying: "After successfully breaking through, let go of this letter eagle, and it will come to Dashan Pass to notify me."
Speaking of contact, Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly remembered something. He slapped his head hard and said, "I almost forgot about my humble duty. The commander said that once the army retreats to Dasanguan, please ask the commander to light the beacon fire. When he sees the beacon fire, he will consider breaking out."
.........
After all, Wu Jie has rich experience. He knows very well that with Chen Qing's current strength, once tens of thousands of gold soldiers attack with all their strength, Chen Qing will definitely not be able to defend for three days.
In the early morning, the war drums of the Jin Camp resounded through the valley again. Wanyan Alupu received a message from Wanyan Wushu's flying eagle, instructing him to capture Jiwangpo within three days at all costs and capture Chen Qing's head.
.
Wanyan Alupu didn't like Han Chang's calculating attack very much. After fighting for a day, he lost troops and generals, but he didn't get the slightest advantage.
He is better at using fierce, rough, and violent attacks, and now that he has the support of the Fourth Prince, he is forced to take down Jiwangpo at all costs.
Wanyan Alupu abandoned Han Chang and personally deployed an army of 20,000.
Looking at the Song camp that was unable to attack, Wanyan Alupu waved his sword, gritted his teeth and shouted: "The first and second battalions charge. The first one to break into the enemy camp will be rewarded with a thousand guan and get Chen Qing's head."
, a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, and a seal of ten thousand households!"
Under the heavy reward, two thousand Jurchen soldiers rushed madly towards the hillside. Wanyan Alupu had rich experience in sieges. He knew very well that when attacking such a slope, the cavalry only looked powerful, but the real siege effect was not
No, even if they rush to the camp gate and look down from a high position, the cavalry will not be able to get past the mud bag wall and will become a target in vain."
The corpses on the slope had been cleaned up by the Song Army. Thousands of burnt corpses were thrown into the woods on the side, but the blood on the ground could not be cleaned up. The night was very cold, and a layer of ice formed on the rocks and flowed down the sides.
The streams on the slopes are also frozen.
The Song army was ready on the mountain. Five hundred divine arm crossbow troops were still deployed on the mud bag wall in front. One hundred grenades were deployed in the trench below. They were responsible for throwing rolling logs, as well as throwing gunpowder barrels and kerosene at close range.
Wait for defensive weapons.
Behind the mud bag wall are still thirty small trebuchets, which are fired by a thousand spearmen. Once the enemy invades the camp, they will immediately form a spear formation to confront the enemy.
Behind him were a thousand infantry archers, who used defensive bows to shoot arrows up the ramp.
Finally, there are nearly two thousand candidate spearmen, who can supplement the strength at any time.
After tasting the benefits of bed crossbows, Chen Qing moved all 400 bed crossbows onto the walls on both sides. Each bed crossbow required four soldiers to operate, and 800 soldiers were deployed on each side.
Chen Qing also went all out. Both sides were fighting for time, and all the weapons at the bottom of the box were brought out.
Chen Qing watched with cold eyes as two thousand soldiers surged forward. Everyone was wearing iron armor, holding shields and short spears, and long wooden boards were looming among the ranks.
These were Jurchen soldiers. Chen Qing immediately realized that the opponent's general had changed. They no longer used the Khitan who were unwilling to fight, but directly used the fierce and powerful Jurchens.
"Send my order and shoot with all your strength!"
Chen Qing's military order was issued. The first one to fire was the bed crossbow. Two thousand jackdaw arrows were shot at the dense crowd like a storm. The Jin soldiers could not resist it. The powerful iron arrows shot through the shields and armor, and the soldiers fell down screaming.
A large gap instantly appeared on the ground, but it quickly closed again, but the number of troops was significantly reduced.
Wanyan Alupu saw the sharp weapons on the Song army's city walls and ordered: "The third battalion presses forward, General Han, and uses the crossbow to shoot at the enemy's wall."
Their bed crossbows were seized from Wang Jianpo's camp. There were two hundred of them in total. They originally didn't want to use them to attack the city, but now Wanyan Alupu couldn't care less.
The enemy's crossbows also shot at the board wall intensively, and the iron arrows shot through the board. Many Song soldiers were also shot by jackdaw arrows and fell down the board wall screaming.
Another thousand Jurchen soldiers rushed forward. At this time, the five-stage shooting of the five hundred divine arm crossbow troops began. A thousand arrows also shot into the sky and fell from the height, like hailstones, killing from the top.
enemy.
Mixed in the arrows were the Song Army's rolling logs. The rolling logs were thrown out one after another, rolling and hitting the Jin soldiers on the hillside...
At this time, the Song army seized the gap between the enemy's crossbows and fired the second round of crossbows. The iron arrows were so powerful that they destroyed everything and killed everything. The Jin soldiers on the hillside suffered extremely heavy casualties. Wanyan Alupu did not hesitate.
Another thousand Jurchen soldiers were thrown into the battle.
The Jurchens were obviously stronger than the Khitans and Han people, and more fearless of death. They kept dying and charging, and they approached the mud bag wall step by step.
