It turned out that during the day, Wanyan Pusan felt that the generals guarding Daming City would only have fun, singing and dancing. Although reinforcements arrived, the Han army still showed no signs of increasing the number of soldiers defending the city, so he concluded that Daming City would not be on guard at night. city gate.
Li Hanhai also cooperated very well. As soon as the sun went down, he took the dancer into a courtyard openly and openly. After that, the door was closed tightly. From then on, he carefully sent the news back, which gave Wanyan Pusan the idea of attacking Daming City at night. .
However, what Wanyan Pusan didn't know was that everything that happened during the day was deliberately revealed by Li Hanhai, in order to make Da Mangjuan think that he was only looking for fun, neglected defense, and was not at all concerned about the enemy's attack, which resulted in this An illusion is nothing more than an attack to seduce Da Mang's cavalry.
As expected, Wanyan Pusan was not only arrogant, but also very wise. He did not take into account Huite's advice at all. After finding two siege vehicles, he wanted to take advantage of the dim night to break through the Damingfu City and then attack Pingyang. Search the territory and teach Da Gan a lesson so that he will not dare to refuse Da Mang's request again.
Things are unpredictable. What Wanyan Pusan didn't expect was that all the previous phenomena were caused by Li Hanhai, and they were nothing more than sending out signals of dereliction of duty, thus leading him to fall into a trap.
At the same time, an hour after entering the courtyard, Li Hanhai transformed into a servant and slipped out of the other courtyard. At the same time, he took advantage of the darkness to arrange his troops.
According to the instructions of the capital, as long as he reveals his flaws during the day, the arrogant Da Mang Cavalry will definitely choose to raid at night. If he does not take the bait on the first day, he will continue to bait during the day until Wanyan Pusan can no longer bear it.
What Li Hanhai didn't expect was that on the first night, Wanyan Pusan couldn't hold it in any longer. Perhaps in his heart, the Daqian soldiers were not worth mentioning at all, so he didn't take the soldiers guarding the city seriously.
When the city gate is wide open during the day, it is undoubtedly Li Hanhai's most panic moment. If the Da Mang cavalry suddenly attacks at that time, they will only respond hastily. Whether they can close the city gate immediately is another matter, because the people in the city Soldiers are naturally afraid of the great cavalry.
At this moment, Da Mang's cavalry troops approached the city, and the soldiers guarding the city had been waiting for them for a long time.
When the torches of Daming City were lit up, the originally quiet city was filled with the sounds of all kinds of fighting.
Due to the fear of the Damang cavalry, the soldiers guarding the city did not have high accuracy with their bows and arrows and threw stones at the beginning, so they did not cause much damage to them. Therefore, this was also the reason why Wanyan Pusan discovered that Daming City had already been prepared. Instead of ordering the cavalry to withdraw immediately, they continued to add two thousand infantry as the front row to attack the gate of Daming City.
Facing Da Mang's army approaching the city, no matter how fearful the city defenders were, they knew what would happen when Da Mang attacked. Therefore, even if they were afraid, the bows and arrows in their hands did not stop firing because of fear.
Thousands of archers took turns shooting their bows and arrows, plus dozens of catapults. The bows, arrows and slings hit the Da Mang soldiers like raindrops, and the Da Mang soldiers fell down in pain.
The siege vehicle under the city gate, with the joint efforts of the Daqian city defenders, poured gasoline into it and threw it on fire. The soldiers pushing the siege vehicle were burned into flames.
Seeing the soldiers in the siege vehicle fall, the soldiers guarding the city and Li Hanhai breathed a sigh of relief, and the bows and arrows in their hands became more and more powerful.
As the saying goes, it's not disrespectful to say it back. Facing Daqian's archers and catapults, Damang was not to be outdone. He lined up directly and started a bow and arrow battle with Daqian soldiers.
The battle lasted for more than an hour and finally ended with Da Mang retreating.
But even though Da Mang retreated, the soldiers guarding the city still couldn't sleep at night, and they were very alert, fearing that Da Mang would suddenly make a counterattack.
It was not until dawn that the casualties were counted, which still surprised Li Hanhai.
"What did you say? How many casualties did our army have?"
Li Hanhai stared at Yang Tinghe dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"General, fifty-two people died, two hundred more..."
"Why are there so many? Have you ever found out the reason?"
Li Hanhai frowned. Last night, he clearly noticed that Da Mang did not cause much harm to his own side. Why were there so many casualties?
There must be something fishy in this.
Yang Kaian seemed a little hesitant, and glanced at Li Hanhai secretly, then reluctantly hesitated, "General... General, this... the visibility is not good at night, our soldiers had a slight collision out of desperation. ,thus..."
As soon as he said this, Li Hanhai didn't know what happened. It was a matter of night. It was just that his own soldiers were afraid of Da Mang's army, and they were stampeded or accidentally injured in a hurry. In other words, most of the casualties were his own. The problem was not caused by Da Mang at all.
Although Li Hanhai hated the fact that iron could not become steel, he was really embarrassed when he thought that his soldiers were so greedy for life and afraid of death. But then he thought about it, even if there were a lot of casualties in the battle last night, at least a lot of reckless people were killed. It is a pity that most of those reckless men were farmers or infantrymen under the cavalry, and there were very few cavalrymen who died in the battle.
In the Damang camp, Wanyan Pusan was listening to the report on the number of casualties in last night's battle.
"What did you say? How many of our Da Mang cavalry were killed in battle?"
Wanyan Pusan was furious and coldly questioned the person kneeling on the ground.
This man was frightened, moody, and afraid that he would beheaded if he disagreed with him, so when he reported, his body could not stop shaking, and his words were trembling.
"General... General, forty-three of our cavalry were killed and seventy-three were injured..."
Wanyan Pusan's eyes instantly widened, and his eyebrows stood up one by one. His face was as yellow as wax, perhaps because he was too angry, his lips were a little white, his gray beard was trembling, and his whole body was slightly... Trembling, a pair of eyes sunken deep into the eye sockets, like a pair of beads, stared straight at the soldier reporting.
In an instant, he couldn't restrain his inner rage. He slammed the wine glass on the stage to the ground to vent his anger, and then shouted loudly, "Damn it! It's really abominable. You dare to do this and kill my brave warrior." Forty or so people, if I don’t avenge this, I, the servant of Wan Yan, will be incapable of being a human being!”
Wanyan Pusan's voice gradually increased from low to high, then roared, his face turned red and then blue, his neck became swollen as if it was about to explode, and his fists made a crackling sound on the desk in front of him.
What this man reported was only the number of casualties of the cavalry. If you continue to listen, the casualties of the Damang infantry were even greater. However, Wanyan Pusan did not care about the deaths of other arms. It seemed that the deaths and injuries of those people had nothing to do with him. He only cares about the cavalry.
Because cavalry is the capital of Da Mang to stand proudly, even if five hundred infantrymen died last night, he would not frown, but if one cavalry died, he would feel like a knife.
Upon seeing this, Huite immediately comforted him and said, "General, calm down! We need to consider this matter in the long term. We must not attack hastily, otherwise we may fall into the enemy's trap."
