Wanyan Lou's room at the foot of Yuquan Mountain looked at the artillery city with a loud killing sound more than ten miles away, with a look of confusion on his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect that they would hide a cavalry force for a sneak attack. I didn't expect that they would attack if they didn't retreat but advance. I didn't expect that they would attack the Artillery City instead of entering Taiyuan City."
"One step behind, every step behind. There is not much room for adjustment now."
A series of unexpected events made Wanyan Yinshuke beside him frown and ask in detail, "What did you think of?"
"This Song army is not simple."
Wanyan Loushi raised his hand and said sincerely, "We can't let them leave. Once they escape, they will become a big problem."
Yin Shuke looked at him, "Isn't it to avenge Mouyan?"
"My son is dead. As a father, of course I must avenge him." Wanyan Loushi grinned, "But now I have to think about our Daikin. The Song Army, which is so brave and willing to fight, really cannot be retained."
After looking at him seriously for a while, Yin Shuke nodded slowly, "Then go ahead and do it. I'll give you the soldiers and horses, and I'll help you keep an eye on the king of Taiyuan City."
"Wang Zhen is able to fight and dare to fight. How can you survive with only half a fierce security guard?" Lou Shi shook his head. "You have to leave three fierce security guards."
"There are not many manpower, and Ma Wu's side is already unable to fight. There are three thousand people left in the artillery city, and several thousand soldiers in various cities and villages. The most we can use for you is only twenty fierce security guards."
"That's enough." Lou Shi grinned again, "I think the reason why this Song army is able to fight and dare to fight is because of that flag. If we only attack that flag, it's enough."
His military exploits are there, his glorious experiences are there.
When Lou Shi makes up his mind, the comrades around him will choose to believe in him, especially his old partner Yin Shuke.
Without saying anything more, Yin Shuke took three Meng'an to the foot of Taiyuan City, preparing to block Wang Zhen's attack.
For the Taiyuan defenders who had been besieging the city for 200 days and had reached a desperate situation, the reinforcements that finally arrived at this time were the only chance of survival. They would not sit back and watch the bloody battle outside the city, and would definitely attack.
Wanyan Loushi withdrew his gaze, suppressed his smile, turned his head and told the eldest son beside him, "Take ten men and go around behind the Song army to flank."
Wan Yan Huo Nu immediately took the order and left.
Since she was a child, she has seen how her father, who is like a god of war, goes from one victory to another. Wanyan Huonv has blind worship and trust in her father.
He turned around and looked behind him. Ten dissatisfied Meng An were already standing with their armors on, mounted horses and spears, quietly waiting for his orders.
Withdrawing his gaze to look at the Song Army in the distance, Wanyan Loushi rode forward.
There were eight thousand cavalrymen following behind him in a mighty manner.
"Dig, dig quickly!" Many generals in the Song army were shouting, urging the soldiers to dig holes in the ground, erect wooden stakes and seal them with expensive cloth.
When facing a cavalry attack in the wilderness, the best way is to use heavy infantry to line up with spears, and use strong crossbows to form long and near attacks.
The powerful armies in the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties could do this, but the infantry of the Song Dynasty at this time could not do it, not even the Western Army, which was known as the strongest in the world.
It wasn't that Li Yunze didn't have enough money, or that the equipment wasn't good enough, but that the Song Army's training and mental state were not up to par.
According to weather conditions, the heat is getting strong now, which is not the time for the Jin people to send troops.
But it's not too hot to fight.
Geographically speaking, the Fen River on one side at this time can be regarded as covering half of the Song army's flanks, which greatly reduced the coverage area that the Jin soldiers could circle and shoot, and also limited the Jin soldiers' maneuverability.
There is no doubt that this is very beneficial.
The disadvantage is that this is a plain, which is suitable for repeated charges by the Jin soldiers who mainly use cavalry.
During the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the Liao army, which was as huge as mountains and seas, was crushed by Wanyan Loushi's repeated attacks.
Li Yunze knew this very well, and also knew that Lou Shi would definitely attack him, so from the moment he set up camp, he kept digging horse pits, building fences to block horses, and using cloth to pull blocking nets to create terrain advantages as much as possible.
In addition, he very simply piled up a mountain of copper coins and cloth in the open space of the main camp.
A golden soldier's head costs one hundred guans or fifty bolts of silk cloth. You can exchange money on the spot just by bringing the head!
If there are less than 10,000 golden soldiers, will they be invincible if there are more than 10,000?
Bullshit!
They all have one head, and Jin Man didn’t even use a lightsaber to fire a Gundam, so why is he invincible?
As long as you dare to tie your head to the waistband and fight hard, there are so many more people here than the Jin people, and they will definitely be able to defeat them!
Set up camp, allocate troops, arrange battle lines, boost morale, etc.
Li Yunze did everything the coach should do very well, at least making it impossible for the generals of the Western Army to find fault at all.
The generals also marveled at how an idle prince could do so well. It was really unbelievable.
You must know that commanding tens of thousands of troops is not an easy task, and being able to arrange various things in an orderly manner requires a lot of experience and prestige.
Li Yunze certainly has no shortage of prestige, but where does the experience come from?
The generals of the Western Army couldn't guess it, so they could only regard it as a gift.
In fact, Li Yunze has fought more battles in various parallel worlds than they have walked.
He even received the most comprehensive military education, and was a true all-rounder in culture, Taoism and military strategy.
When Wanyan Huonv led ten men on foot and cavalry to the back road in a mighty detour, Li Yunze just glanced at it and didn't care.
It was clear that they were there to harass, and the rear troops would just guard the camp.
Outside the camp, there are all horse pits within the range of the crossbows. There are countless deer antlers to block the horses and cloth and silk to intercept them. If you dare to come, just shoot them.
Li Yunze's attention was still focused on Wanyan Loushi.
"Your Majesty."
Niu Gao hurriedly came to report, "There is trouble in the back camp."
"Huh?" Li Yunze climbed onto the viewing platform and looked toward the rear camp.
At one glance, anger surged in my heart.
The Jin soldiers drove many local people, crying and making human shields to fill the holes and pull out the horses.
"Cross suey." Li Yunze's face was as heavy as water.
Although this kind of thing is very common, it always makes him angry and hurts his liver every time he sees it.
Anger cannot solve the problem, the key now is whether to let go or not.
Before he could make a decision, he saw many sharp arrows flying from the back camp, and a large number of people filling the ditch fell immediately.
"Who shot the arrow?!" Li Yunze roared angrily and immediately told Niu Gao to "send someone over to check!"
After receiving a report, Zhang Kui of the Jingyuan Army ordered the arrows to be fired.
Li Yunze secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pondered for a moment, "We will discuss this matter after the war."
The Jingyuan Army is the rear camp, the Qin Feng Army is attacking the artillery city, the Huanqing Army is deployed on the flanks, the center army is the Yongxing Army, and the front army is the Shengjie Army.
Wanyan Huonv attacked the Jingyuan army, but the main force of the Song army remained unmoved.
On the contrary, Qin Feng's army attacking Cannon City made smooth progress.
Although the cannon city is high, it is not a real military city. Its essence is just to set up trebuchets.
This city is not small in size, but its defense is not strong.
Facing the fierce attack of Qin Fengjun, the defenders in the city actually looked panicked.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that since the Jin soldiers started to raise their armies, they have basically been fighting others.
Attack the Liao Kingdom, attack Goryeo, attack Xixia, and attack the Song Dynasty. There are really not many times when they need to defend.
Even in defensive battles, field battles are the main focus.
I have no experience at all in a serious city defense battle like this.
The combat effectiveness of the golden soldiers who dismounted to defend the city was greatly reduced.
Although the arrows were still accurate, Qin Fengjun burst out with a strong will to fight that he had never seen before. He held up his shield and pushed the siege equipment, and easily approached the city wall and began to attack the city.
There is no moat outside the city, no antlers to keep the horses away, no trenches to keep the horses from facing, nothing.
Stimulated by the huge rewards and inspired by the slogan of revenge for Zhongshi, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qin Feng Army swarmed up and attacked the city wall at a speed beyond imagination.
The war here changes too quickly, which directly affects the future of the war.
Wanyan Loushi and his 8,000 cavalrymen have already approached. As expected, they will charge straight into the Huanqing Army on the flanks. After breaking through, they will go straight to the Chinese army camp.
It can be seen that the Song Army has actually climbed to the top of the artillery city. After carefully observing the dense and dizzying fortifications inside and outside the Song Army camp, Wanyan Loushi thought for a moment, and finally turned his direction and rushed towards Qin Fengjun.
And go.
Wanyan Loushi doesn't care about sacrificing the lives of warriors when necessary.
But it wasn't that time yet, so he decided to change the target of attack first and support the defenders of the artillery city.
It would be better if the main force of the Song army came out of the camp to help, and they would be defeated in one fell swoop.
If they don't come out, it won't take much time to defeat Qin Fengjun.
Li Yunze, who was on the viewing platform, saw this scene and immediately came down from the stage and called to Niu Gao who hurriedly led the horse over, "Instruct the Huanqing Army and Shengjie Army to send troops to the artillery city with the Chinese army!"
The Song Army camp is about five or six miles away from the artillery city.
There is a river on one side and a city on the other. As long as the two openings are sealed, Wanyanlou's cavalry mobility will be completely blocked.
There is no doubt that this is a fighter plane. Li Yunze noticed it and grabbed it immediately.
The only thing that needs to be considered is whether Qin Fengjun can withstand the impact of Wanyan Lou's room.
If you can't hold it, you will be rushed away by others. Without waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, you can rely on the mobility of the horses to move quickly, and then defeat the Song troops who leave the camp one by one.
Seeing the movement at the Song Army's camp, Wanyan Lou's expression was neither sad nor happy, "Sure enough, you are here. Are you so confident? Can these Song troops attacking the city resist me?"
Eight thousand cavalry can be called the most powerful cavalry in this era. Under the leadership of Wanyan Loushi, they penetrated into the back of the Qin army from the side and rear.
Qin Fengjun was not unprepared, but had already been prepared.
Thousands of divine arm bows gathered together to greet the Jin cavalry with a rain of arrows.
Visible to the naked eye, the golden soldiers during the charge obviously fell into pieces.
The Divine Arm Bow is indeed a weapon that Jin people fear, even if it is wearing heavy armor, it will still be shot through.
The charging Jin soldiers faced the rain of arrows and did not stop charging. They continued to rush straight towards the gathered Song army formation like a typhoon.
Then
‘Boom dong dong~~~’
The golden soldiers in the front row stumbled and fell to the ground.
It turned out that the Song army sprinkled a large amount of iron vines on the road in front of the formation and set up trip ropes.
On days when the warblers are flying and the grass is growing, you can’t see them at all.
The Jin soldiers were indeed elite. Even after suffering such losses, they still forced their way through various traps and obstacles, and crashed heavily into the Qin Feng army's formation.
The heavy arrows fired in a circle, combined with the cavalry assault and cover, destroyed the Song army's formation layer by layer, just like cutting flesh.
As Wanyan Loushi personally led Hezha Mengan to launch a forcible assault, he directly defeated the main formation of Qin Feng's military commander Zhao Dian!
Zhao Dian's general flag was subsequently submerged in the raging torrent of cavalry.
