Something happened to the Jin soldiers. Wanyan Wushu received the Golden Wolf Head Order yesterday from Wanyan Xiyin, Prime Minister Zuo of Shangshu. Unfortunately, the Wolf Lord fell ill and became seriously ill. He and Wanyan Chang were urged to go back quickly. Wan Yanchang left last night.
After returning home, Wanyan Wushu was in a dilemma.
In the evening, Fan Gong received Wanyan Wushu's call and walked quickly to the king's tent.
Fan Gong has been unable to hold his head high these days. All kinds of doubts and accusations are coming at him from all directions. He is a Han Chinese. Once he makes a mistake, he will have to bear much more criticism than others.
Seeing Fan Gong's depressed expression, Wanyan Wushu comforted him: "We don't know the situation in the city. Maybe a large pond has been dug in the city, so there is no shortage of water. It will be useless even if we cut off the water source."
, Sir, please don’t take it seriously.”
Fan Gong sighed and said: "You are underestimating your position and underestimating the enemy. I want it, and of course Chen Qing wants it too. He will not let his weaknesses be caught easily. There should be several underground rivers. I dug it wrong. Indeed
It is the responsibility of a humble position."
"We are not talking about responsibilities now, but what should we do next? Now there is news to tell you, sir, that the Qi State has transferred five chariots from Guanzhong. I have arranged for them to come from the east. It is estimated that they can be delivered to the camp tomorrow."
"Marshal Du still wants to use these five nest vehicles to fight against Ganquan Castle again?"
Wanyan Wushu nodded, "I'm really not willing to give in. I almost attacked the city last time, but failed in the end. If at that time"
Having said this, Wanyan Wushu let out a long sigh, the look of reluctance clearly showing on his face.
Fan Gong looked at Wanyan Wushu calmly and said: "I'll tell you the truth, most wars are won or lost by a matter of millimeters. Even if the marshal brought more fuel last time, there will definitely be other situations, such as
Chen Qing will definitely find out. He didn't see it with 300 people, but he can definitely see it with 3,000 people. There will be no such thing as a successful raid. The victory or defeat itself is a reflection of strength. Why should Marshal Du keep worrying about it?
pregnant."
Wanyan Wushu smiled bitterly, "You are right, Chen Qing's army is indeed very powerful. I admit it, but I am not weak either. If my tactics are right, the victory will be in my favor. If I attack tonight
Where is Ganquan Fort?”
"Sneak attack?" Fan Gong was stunned for a moment.
Wanyan Wushu nodded, "I have been observing the Song Army for the past ten days. Their defenses have obviously slackened both during the day and at night. Their number has been reduced by half, and the intervals between patrols have become longer. Especially in the East City and West City, there are only a few people at night.
There are only a few soldiers patrolling the city. Because I have never attacked these two sides, they are accustomed to thinking that I will only attack the south city."
"so what?"
"So I want to make a sneak attack on West City tonight. If that doesn't work, I'll use the nest car to attack in a big way!"
Fan Gong sighed and said nothing more.
"Sir, if you have any objections, just say so. I don't just want to hear good things."
Fan Gong shook his head, "I feel that Marshal Du is just taking a gamble, so why bother?"
Wanyan Wushu walked a few steps with his hands behind his hands, and finally stopped at the door of the tent and looked at the city in the distance. His eyes were complicated and his voice became deeper.
"Sir, you are right. I am indeed taking a gamble. I have fought against Chen Qing many times over the years, but we have never won. Now the wolf master is ill and Talan has gone back. I must go back as soon as possible, but I still want to
If you try harder before withdrawing your troops, you won’t regret it!”
"In this case, Marshal Du, just do what he wants!"
At the first watch, five hundred soldiers in black armor took advantage of the terrain cover and gradually approached the west city wall. To the west of Ganquan Fort were ravines and slopes. The ground was undulating and could not be used for battlefield attacks, but it was a favorable terrain for sneak attacks.
The Xixia Army also wanted to dig a tunnel from outside the West City to enter the city. This time Wanyan Wushu also took a fancy to the terrain to the west.
But many things are destined. Also this afternoon, Yang Yuanqing reminded Chen Qing in time that the Jin soldiers could not attack for a long time and might adopt a sneak attack strategy. But today, Chen Qing got the good news that his wife was pregnant, which inspired him even more.
The courage to protect one's own offspring.
When Chen Qing returned to camp, he made special arrangements. The number of patrol troops at night was increased from 1,500 to 3,000, and a sneak attack defense tactic was added.
The sneak attack defense tactic is a special tactic specially developed after the Xixia warriors entered the city from the northern city wall. What is special about it is that it does not simply increase the number of patrols, but assumes that the Jin soldiers will come to sneak attack tonight.
A series of defensive measures adopted.
Including ambush, secret surveillance, concentration of troops on standby, etc. Two soldiers were hiding on the West City Observation Tower to keep an eye on the movements outside the city. Because they were hiding, no one was found on the observation tower outside the city.
At this time, a Song Army soldier on the observation tower spotted five hundred figures approaching outside the city. The two discussed for a while, one continued to monitor, and the other got off the observation tower and waved a torch by the female wall.
When General Yang Zaixing saw the torch, he immediately led two thousand soldiers on standby to rush to the city. At the same time, the entire military camp was mobilized. Fifteen thousand soldiers went to the city one after another and hid behind the battlements in preparation for a night battle.
Yang Zaixing led two thousand soldiers to the west city. He waved back, and all the soldiers ran forward and quickly leaned behind the battlements. Yang Zaixing slowly looked out of the city.
Five hundred golden soldiers outside the city have approached the west city wall. There is no gate in the west city, only a three-mile-long wall.
At the head were two hundred Qi soldiers, followed by 300 Bohai Jurchen soldiers. The Qi soldiers were selected from tens of thousands of Qi soldiers. They were sergeants with martial arts skills, and several of them were masters who could use ropes to fly over cliffs and walls.
The three hundred Bohai Jurchen soldiers behind them were extremely brave and skilled soldiers, all of them were powerful and brave.
The five hundred people were led by Liang Yong, the Qi army commander of thousands. Although his name is Han, his military position is commander of thousands, which means that he is not a puppet Qi army, but a Jurchen army. Liang Yong is actually a Khitan Han and can speak
Donghu and Chinese are all under his leadership.
Their task is to control the southwest corner of the city wall, from where the golden soldiers will enter the city.
At this time, just two miles away, Wanyan Wushu personally led an army of ten thousand and was waiting in the darkness.
There is no moonlight tonight, but the starlight is not bad. I can see the city wall from a distance, but I can't see their presence on the city wall.
Five hundred soldiers had already rushed to the bottom of the city. One soldier struggled to throw the rope in his hand towards the top of the city. The fine steel claw hooked the top of the city. The soldier struggled to climb up. He had just climbed to the top of the city wall, but his chest was hit by something.
He grabbed it with one hand and dragged him in. It looked like he jumped into the city.
Not long after, a ladder was thrown down from above. Several extremely strong Bohai Jurchens pushed the Qi soldiers away, and they took the lead in climbing up the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the top of the city, they heard fierce fighting sounds, followed by several short screams, and a human head fell from above. The five hundred soldiers were shocked. Liang Yong knew that he was ambushed and shouted: "Quickly."
withdraw!"
There were ambushes on the top of the city. Two thousand people raised their crossbows and fired downwards. The five hundred soldiers were unable to escape and were hit by arrows one after another. The screams were loud and clear. Two rounds of arrows killed most of them. Only the hundreds of people on the periphery ran fast.
, escaped.
In the distance, Wanyan Wushu saw the fire on the west city, and he knew that he had failed. He immediately ordered: "Attack the city!"
The sneak attack was changed to a night attack. Two thousand Jurchen cavalry were running at high speed with torches in hand. Arrows were raining down from the top of the city. Soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
But the cavalry gradually approached the city wall. They ignited the fireballs in their hands and threw them towards the top of the city.
The Jinbing craftsmen have not been idle this month. Inspired by the kerosene balls, they made a large number of hand-thrown kerosene balls. Each weighs five or six kilograms. A tall and strong cavalry can throw them with one arm while running.
Throw it on top of the city, causing a fire on the top of the city.
More than a thousand fireballs flew towards the city. Chen Qing shouted: "Use your shield to block it!"
The soldiers raised their shields to block, and many fireballs were blocked from entering the city. However, many fireballs still landed on the top of the city, igniting huge fires.
