Yan Qing stood on the tower of Lingqiu, looking at the soldiers and horses coming towards Lingqiu. There were about ten thousand people. The flag was the Khitan wolf flag, which should be the soldiers and horses of Yeluding in the Northern Liao Dynasty.
They ambush close by and come the fastest.
Yan Qing turned his head and looked back. Smoke and dust were billowing under the night sky, but it would still be some time before the Jin army arrived.
Yan Qing thought of lightning in her heart.
If he were to make a decision, he would immediately lead five thousand cavalry to fight back and protect the mission from leaving Lingqiu.
Although there were more than 10,000 people in Bei Liao, they could not stop the brave and invincible cavalry.
But Yan Qing knew that Lingqiu was the most critical link in Wang Lin's entire strategic plan and was used for fishing.
It is still unknown whether Wanyan Zonggan will take the bait.
Zhao Gou walked up slowly, his expression serious.
Yan Qing turned back and glanced at Zhao Gou, slightly surprised.
The former Song Dynasty prince in front of him did not tremble because of fear, and actually had some courage to go to the tower to observe the enemy's situation in person.
Yan Qing cupped his hands slightly and said, "Prince!"
Zhao Gou returned the greeting and said: "I am surprised that the person who leads the army is Marquis Yan! It seems that the master has already made plans for Lingqiu."
Yan Qing smiled, this little Zhao Gou can be considered a smart man.
Among Zhao Ji's many sons, he is an outstanding young man.
Zhao Gou was wearing armor and holding a bow and arrow. He said in a deep voice: "Marquis Yan, Gu Ye is proficient in riding and shooting. He can serve as a soldier to defend the city and kill the enemy!"
Yan Qing nodded slightly.
Yan Qing looked deeply behind Lingqiu, where the Jin soldiers were coming.
Yan Qing's heart was solemn.
He didn't know Wang Lin's overall plan, he only knew that the task Wang Lin gave him was to guard Lingqiu for one night.
At this time, he did not know that Wu Jie and Wu Zhang's 50,000-strong Western Army had already crossed the Qingshui River and were marching rapidly around the rear of Xijing. Han Shizhong's troops had already bypassed Yingzhou and headed north to attack Xijing.
Yue Fei's 100,000 troops had already passed Damao Pass to Laiyuan, which was less than twenty miles away from Lingqiu.
Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi's 50,000 troops made a surprise attack on Yuzhou, and they will capture it by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Yeluding colluded with Wanyan Zongqian to set up a small trap in Lingqiu, while Wang Lin set up a large bag outside.
If nothing happens, just wait for Wanyan Zongqian to take the bait, so that he can tie up his pocket tightly and catch the turtle in the urn.
The 30,000 Jin army behind Lingqiu slowly approached Lingqiu. Wanyan Zongqian was a man of deep character, and he still had doubts in his heart, fearing that he would be deceived by the Yan army and lose Xijing.
But after he calculated and calculated, he missed an important and crucial point.
He never expected that Wang Lin's appetite would be so big. This time he actually mobilized 250,000 soldiers and horses, divided into four groups, to fight an earth-shattering battle!
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.
And the target is actually not Youyan, but Yanbei!
Not just Xijing, but the whole of Yanbei!
Wanyan Zongqian left 20,000 people in Xijing.
He consciously led 30,000 cavalry to advance, attack, retreat or defend, coming and going as he pleased.
Wanyan Zongqian was cunning by nature, and his slow march with his army was a kind of test. Little did he know that his being so cautious actually gave the Yan army time to calmly realize the strategic counter-encirclement outside.
The night is dark, and Han Shizhong's troops will arrive at Huairen before dawn, completely cutting off Wanyan Zongqian's retreat and the passage back to Xijing. At the same time, Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi's troops will take Yuzhou with a blitzkrieg and cut off
This is the passage through which Wanyan Zongqian retreated to Youyan from the east.
At this moment, Yue Fei's 100,000-strong army was lurking on the front line of Laiyuan. The entire army was ready for battle and was preparing to attack Lingqiu.
Fried noodles and potatoes, which have become Yan Jun's standard fare, created the most convenient conditions for Yan Jun to lurk secretly.
Within fifteen days, the Yan army will not need logistical supplies.
The rations carried by an individual soldier are enough to support him.
Compared with the slow movement of Wanyan Zongqian's soldiers and horses, Yelv Ding, who had arrived at Lingqiu City, was extremely anxious.
After all, Lingqiu was too close to the Yan border. Yelu Ding was worried that the Yan army would react and lead an army to come for reinforcements. How could he stop the Liao remnant soldiers?
On the tower of Lingqiu City, Yan Qing looked coldly at the chaotic remnant soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty outside the city who had no military discipline at all, with a deep sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Yeluding is really a fool.
At this moment, he was actually still waiting for the arrival of Wanyan Zongqian's army. If he had been in another position, Yan Qing would have ordered the army to launch a decisive attack on Lingqiu.
Yan Qing raised his head and looked at the white fish belly gradually rising in the eastern sky, and let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Gou stood beside him, holding a bow and arrow, and he also stayed up all night.
On the other side, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan were lying on the city wall looking at the camp of the Northern Liao Army outside the city, their beautiful eyes shining with complex luster.
A guard in royal robes gradually approached them, and a familiar and deep voice sounded in the ears of Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan: "Are you afraid?"
Xiao Duoli Lai's beautiful eyes were startled, then turned pale in shock.
The same is true for Yelu Yuliyan.
The two women turned back to look at the Jin Yiwei behind them, with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty..."
Before Xiao Duolilai could even utter her exclamation, Wang Lin covered her mouth.
On the side, Yelu Yuliyan, who gradually came to his senses, began to sob softly.
In such a dangerous situation, the emperor actually came in person!
At this moment, when they were feeling uneasy, he suddenly appeared beside them.
…
Dawn is coming.
Wanyan Zongqian hasn't come yet.
Wang Lin waved his hand and stopped Zhao Gou from kneeling down, who was also frightened. He turned to look at Yan Qing and said: "Xiao Yi, it seems that Wanyan Zongqian is aware of it. In less than an hour, Yue Fei will lead his army to launch a fierce attack.
, if Wanyan Zongqian is allowed to slip away, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Yan Qing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I came to report from the scouting horse. The 30,000 Jin soldiers are less than 20 miles away from Lingqiu. However, for some reason, Wanyan Zongqian is marching very slowly, as if he is testing."
Wang Lin smiled slightly and suddenly said decisively: "In that case, then I will give Wanyan Zonggan an injection of chicken blood!"
Yan Qing was slightly confused. He actually did not understand what the emperor meant.
But he came to his senses when he saw that the emperor was showing off his momentum, stretching out his arms, and letting Xiao Duoli Lai and Yelu Yuli Yan lead the female officials to start dressing him for Emperor Yan's crown and robes.
Dawn gradually breaks through.
Five thousand cavalrymen in brocade clothes were mounted on the tower of Lingqiu. Their eyes were filled with awe and fanaticism. They bowed in the direction where Wang Lin was standing and shouted "Long live my emperor", which shook the sky.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Dayan is victorious!"
The roars and bows of five thousand cavalrymen shook the heaven and the earth.
The soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty below the city were shocked. They looked up and saw a tall young man wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe faintly on the city tower. At some point in the Lingqiu city, Emperor Dayan's Longxing banner was erected.
When the soldiers came to report, Yeluding and Yaoshi Guo were overjoyed.
Emperor Dayan is actually in Lingqiu!
If Emperor Dayan could be captured in one fell swoop... Yelu Ding's eyes flashed with a crazy luster. While he ordered Pegasus to report to Wanyan Zongqian in the rear, he asked Pharmacist Guo to assemble his army and prepare to attack the city.
