Li Nong hurried to Zheng Ping's military camp. He clearly felt that there was something abnormal in the military camp. Almost all the soldiers were awake. Most of the tents were lit with lights. Groups of soldiers could be seen gathering together everywhere. There were patrolling soldiers everywhere and they were heavily guarded.
Li Nong felt increasingly uneasy. This didn't look like a drill! It was like there was really going to be some action tonight.
When they arrived at Zheng Ping's tent, it was dark inside. Several soldiers came forward and said, "The situation has changed. The location has been changed to General Wu Miao's tent. What plan did General Zheng want us to discuss together?"
Li Nong immediately understood that they must be discussing a tunnel digging plan. Zheng Ping should have realized that he thought of the problem too simply. Originally, there were two thousand Jurchen soldiers guarding the warehouse camp. What was the use of digging a tunnel? He still had to face the problem.
Jurchen soldiers.
Wu Miao's tent was located in the northernmost part of the military camp, with a camp fence outside and a five-foot-wide road separated from the warehouse camp.
There were soldiers on guard outside the big tent. Once here, it was impossible for Li Nong to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and walk into the big tent.
The lights were brightly lit in the tent, and the generals surrounded the city. They saw a large hole five feet wide dug in the middle of the tent, with a cover on it and pillars on both sides.
Li Nong's expression changed drastically. It was obvious that the tunnel had been dug long ago. Zheng Ping had deceived himself.
He turned around to run, but three soldiers behind him knocked him down, seized his sword, and tied him up with his hands behind his back.
Li Nong struggled to raise his head and stared at Zheng Ping angrily, "Zheng Ping, is this your sincerity?"
Zheng Ping stepped forward and slapped him hard, "I read the letter to you, and you turned around and ran to see Wanyan Wushu. How dare you show your integrity to me?"
Li Nong was immediately speechless.
Zheng Ping stared into his eyes and said, "Do you know why Wanyan Wushu is afraid of my commander? Because he has a little bit of courage? Then you are wrong. This is where my commander is so powerful!"
Zheng Ping pointed to his head, "His intelligence, he has seen through you a long time ago, but I almost believed your lies."
Li Nong roared: "I didn't lie to you. I am a descendant of the famous founding general Li Jixun, and I will not make fun of my mother."
"I bother!"
Zheng Ping spat at him heavily, pointed at him and cursed, "You traitor and thief, you still have the nerve to say that you are a descendant of the famous founding general, but aren't you afraid that your ancestors will rush out of the grave with swords to kill you, an unworthy descendant?"
Li Nong raised his head and said, "You can scold me all you want, I have a clear conscience and that's enough for me to be worthy of myself!"
Zheng Ping stared at him and sneered: "Do you know what the commander said about you in the letter? You surrendered to the Jin Kingdom because you hated your family, and you were ashamed of your mother and wanted to return. You only have selfish thoughts in your heart, but you have no national integrity. Like you
Such a person will never give up the high status and salary of the Jin Kingdom and become a small commander without official rank again."
Li Nong's face became very pale, and he laughed miserably and said: "What a Chen Qing, he is really amazing, he actually wrote two letters, and the ones he showed me were fake ones. You clearly acted tonight, not tomorrow night!
"
Zheng Ping smiled proudly, "How else could I have deceived Wanyan Wushu? He actually left with 30,000 troops. We would also like to thank you for informing him."
Li Nong looked at the dark cave and sighed dejectedly: "You have been prepared for a long time."
"That's right, the hole has been dug a long time ago. It took us a whole winter. There are thirty branches underground, leading directly to thirty forage warehouses and grain warehouses. There will be no chance of encountering warehouse defenders."
Li Nong suddenly burst into laughter, "Do you think you will succeed? I have already sensed something is wrong, and sent someone to notify Xiao Cong, and he came with his troops right away!"
Zheng Ping was furious, pulled out a dagger and stabbed Li Nong in the chest, "Go see your founding ancestor!"
Li Nong looked at the dagger on his chest in disbelief. A strong fear suddenly surged in his heart. How could he face the ancestors of Jiuquanxia? He screamed with regret and died.
Zheng Ping made a decisive decision: "We don't have to wait for the commander to take action now!"
Wang Hao led ninety soldiers into the cave. They were divided into thirty groups, and each went to a warehouse to set fire to it.
.........
Chen Qing led 3,000 cavalry to approach the Jinbing camp. The attack launched on the second day of February was just a cover-up. In his second secret letter to Zheng Ping, he set the time for the real attack on the first day of February.
Chen Qing's army was approaching the Jurchens' camp. It was still three miles away from the camp, and they were discovered by hiding in a secret post.
‘Whoops!’ Nine rockets flew into the sky in succession, flashing with dazzling firelight in the night sky.
"kill--"
Chen Qing shouted loudly, and three thousand cavalry suddenly launched an attack. The horses galloped and the dust stirred up was overwhelming.
'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!'
The alarm sounded loudly in the Jinbing camp, and the soldiers woke up from their dreams one after another, picked up their spears and ran out of the tent. During this time, the Jurchen soldiers also slept with their armor in place to deal with sudden emergencies.
General Wanyan Alupu was shocked. He picked up his long-handled mace and rushed out of the tent and shouted: "Where is the war horse?"
Some soldiers brought him a war horse. Wanyan Alupu got on the horse, and the rest of the golden soldiers followed suit.
In the past, the Jin soldiers were divided into men and horses, with the men living in the big tent and the horses in the sheep and horse camp. After suffering heavy losses in several sneak attacks, Wanyan Wushu's combat ideas also changed accordingly.
After establishing the Monk Yuan camp here, he also learned from the Song army and distinguished between wartime and non-wartime. During non-wartime, it was still the same as before, with men and horses separated. Once in wartime, the war horses must follow the Jin soldiers, usually tied
Outside the tent, and soldiers were not allowed to take off their armor to sleep.
This wartime thinking was put into full play tonight. Although the soldiers were panicked, there was no chaos.
When Wanyan Alupu saw that Captain Wanyan Tuo was ready, he shouted: "Wanyan Tuo, you lead the army to stop the enemy first, and then I will lead the army to kill!"
"Follow the order!"
Wanyan Tuo shouted, "Come out of camp with me to fight!"
He led hundreds of cavalry out of the camp...
The Jurchen cavalry were still gathering. At this time, Xiao Cong rode up and shouted: "General Alupu, don't be fooled. This is Chen Qing's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The real danger is inside. This is the order of the fourth prince!"
When Wanyan Alupu saw countless rockets fired into the southeast and the tent began to catch fire, he immediately scolded Xiao Cong and said, "That's nonsense. Do you want me to stay in the camp and be burned alive?"
He ignored Xiao Cong, urged his horse and shouted: "Brothers who have been sorted out, follow me and fight out!"
He led more than two thousand cavalry to fight out. Xiao Cong was so angry that he punched the saddle of the horse. Wanyan Wushu did give him a greeting and asked him to keep an eye on Zheng Hui's army, but he was not allowed to take action.
That's tomorrow night. Now everything is in chaos and he doesn't know what to do?
The key is that Wanyan Wushu didn't give him the details, leaving him at a loss as to whether he should break into Zheng Hui's camp? But what if this is also part of the fourth prince's plan?
Just then, a soldier shouted: "The warehouse camp is on fire!"
When Xiao Cong turned around, he saw the flames of the warehouse camp rising into the sky, forming a sea of fire. He was so frightened that he was frightened out of his wits and shouted in a hissing voice: "Send the order to the entire army to put out the fire!"
At this time, a soldier came to report, "General Xiao, Li Nong sent someone to deliver a message?"
"Where is the letter?"
Li Nong's soldiers came forward and handed Xiao Cong a letter. Xiao Cong tore open the letter and read it again. Li Nong said in the letter that he suspected that the time for the Song Army's uprising was changed to tonight. Xiao Cong was so angry that he almost fainted.
, whipped Li Nong's soldiers hard, and yelled: "Asshole, why didn't you send the letter earlier!"
"General Xiao can't be found anywhere in this humble position!"
The soldier explained aggrievedly that, in fact, Li Nong had told him to deliver the letter in half an hour, but it was not yet time. If there had not been a fire in the warehouse camp, the soldier would not have come in advance.
Xiao Cong looked at the warehouse camp in flames. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send my order to massacre the Congjun army and kill them all!"
He could not command Wanyan Alupu's army and could only command his own army, but his army had less than 3,000 men. In the afternoon, he sent 2,500 men to escort grain and grass to Dashan Pass.
At this time, Xiao Cong had no time to make a judgment. He couldn't tell who was loyal to the Jin Kingdom and who was a traitor. Now he could only kill all Xie Congjun with one blow.
Wanyan Alupu had just led his troops out of the camp when a cavalryman stepped forward and cried, "General Wanyan Tuo was killed in battle!"
Wanyan Alupu's eyes widened and he asked angrily: "What's going on?"
"As soon as we left the camp, we encountered the Song Army cavalry. In the darkness, Wanyan Tuo was shot in the face by an arrow. The arrow was so fast that the general had no time to dodge. It was so tragic!"
Several soldiers carried Wanyan Tuo's body up, and saw an arrow in the center of his eyebrow. The arrow penetrated his head, and the tip of the arrow came out from behind. Wanyan Tuo's eyes were wide open, and he died with eyes wide open.
Wanyan Alupu was heartbroken, furious and shouted: "Kill me! Kill all the Song troops!"
Chen Qing led the main force of the Song army to retreat, but Wanyan Alupu was blinded by hatred and led thousands of cavalry in a mad pursuit to the east.
Although the main force of the Song army retreated, more than a hundred scout cavalry did not retreat. They continuously fired gunpowder arrows into the Jin Bing camp, setting the Jin Bing camp on fire from all directions.
