The heavy rain in Chuzhou Prefecture continued until dusk, and then the rain gradually became lighter. Zhao Li looked like a straight javelin for a long time at the bodies of the five warriors lying outside the city. The Jin soldiers' rangers were guarding
Patrolling back and forth a hundred steps away from the city gate, as soon as the city gate of Chuzhou Mansion is opened, the Jin cavalry will blow the horn to lead the large group of Jin soldiers into the city...
Zhao Li stood at the top of the city and was worried. If a war broke out tomorrow for a hero like Captain Zhang, the bodies of the five warriors outside the Chuzhou Prefecture would be trampled by horses and people, which would chill the hearts of the soldiers in the city and severely dampen their ambitions.
However, the distance between the corpses of the five warriors really gave Zhao Li a headache. After all, there were not many desperate cases on the battlefield for dead corpses...
Fang Zichou saw Zhao Li's frown and said with concern: "General, don't worry too much. There is a way to retrieve the bodies of the five warriors in the near future. It's just that all the soldiers here must cooperate with my plan to get the five warriors."
I’m sure of success, but I’m afraid that the soldiers’ lack of rest will affect tomorrow’s battle, so I don’t dare to say it.”
The soldiers at the top of the city knelt on one leg and shouted in unison: "You may give the order, Vice-General Fang, but we are willing to take back the bodies of Zhang Xiaowei and others at the command of General Fang. Please give the order, General!"
Zhao Li didn't understand and said: "Shao Bing, I wonder if you have any clever ideas?"
"Don't take this clever plan seriously. This plan involves seven parts risk and three parts luck. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will..."
Jin Wushu and Wan Yanchang rode on horseback and patrolled around Chuzhou City after the rain stopped. The more they looked at it, the more they realized that Zhao Li was not simple. The outer city of Chuzhou City originally had four gates: east, west, south and north. Now there are three gates: east, west, north.
The Daocheng Gate had long been sealed by Zhao Li with huge stones, leaving only the south gate unsealed. There was still a narrow side gate next to the south gate, and there were many sharpened and slanted gates in front of the gate.
The Juma Fence...
Jin Wushu sneered and said: "Zhao Li was too cautious. He wanted to reduce the number of troops to defend the city by blocking the city gate. But he also blocked his own retreat. Chuzhou Mansion must be the place where Zhao Li will be buried."
Wan Yanchang sighed: "You have never fought with Zhao Li. That guy sealed the city gate and just planned to retreat."
"Hahaha, you're too lazy, let's learn Zhao Li's skills! Drive!" Jin Wushu laughed wildly and rode away, as if he was already confident about destroying the city...
The night before a war is often extremely quiet, with only the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom wandering outside Chuzhou City like ghosts. A brazier made of pine resin is burning on the top of Chuzhou City, and the firelight illuminates the plants and trees outside the city.
The soldiers guarding the city were holding big bows at the top of the city. As long as the Jin cavalry dared to cross within a hundred steps of the city gate, they would be pierced by random arrows. There were also bold cavalry who provoked the defenders by shooting with fast horses, but the defenders could not
The soldiers used the battlements as cover on the city wall, but in the end it was the Jin cavalry who suffered the loss.
Until later, Jin Wushu ordered the cavalry to retreat outside the tent and not to attack rashly. The cavalry no longer went to the city gate to explore. Jin Wushu was eager for Zhao Lineng to open the city gate and sneak attack the camp, so he made a
It looks loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
After the ugly hour, a little firelight came out from under the side gate of the south city of Chuzhou Prefecture. Several chestnut-brown horses carrying soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty sneaked out of the side gate. The Jin cavalry immediately blew their horns and thousands of cavalry lined up and headed straight towards Chu.
The state capital rushed to the city. The soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty immediately bypassed the wooden fence and retreated into the city. Before the Jin cavalry could come and pursue the pursuit, the heavy side door had been closed. The Jin cavalry had to return without success. Wanyan Changhe
Jin Wushu saw all this in his eyes and stamped his feet in hatred.
Wan Yanchang said angrily: "Zhao Li wants to send a few people to attack our Jin Army camp. This is too disrespectful to us."
Jin Wushu laughed loudly and said: "You're lazy, this is Zhao Lin's fellow who wants to test us. Jumping off the beam is not worth mentioning. Send an order to wait for the Southern Song soldiers to go a hundred steps out of the city before the cavalry can counterattack!"
The Jin cavalry took orders and retreated to the camp gate to wait for the Southern Song soldiers to attack. The nervous waiting made the Jin cavalry suffer. They didn't know when the soldiers from Chuzhou Prefecture would come out again. Some cavalry were already cursing loudly.
Jin Wushu said resentfully: "Zhao Li wants to use a few soldiers to mess up the morale of our army. Thousands of cavalry will stay here until tomorrow's battle. The morale of the soldiers will definitely drop! Leave a column of Hubao battalion cavalry to continue to watch, and everyone else will go back."
Go to the tent."
After the third watch, the south gate of the city was opened again, and this time there were obviously many more soldiers leaving the city. The soldiers leaving the city rode lazily forward as if they were taking a walk, and their march was as slow as a walk in a pavilion.
Wan Yanchang yelled: "The Southern Barbarians dare to make fun of us, the cavalry will go out for me to kill these Nanbarbarians who don't know whether to live or die!"
Dozens of angry cavalry waiting for them charged out, treating the Song soldiers who came out from the side door as if they were going to die. When the Song soldiers saw the Jin cavalry approaching, they fired a volley at them first, and after shooting the arrows
, did not even give the Jin soldiers a chance to fight back. They immediately hit their horses and turned back to the Chuzhou Mansion. The Jin soldiers who immediately held their breath at the side door yelled and cursed. The Jin soldiers chased them a hundred steps away from the city gate, reined in their horses, and headed towards the city.
The defenders of the Song Dynasty also fired randomly, but the distance was too far, and the defenders were hiding behind the battlements, so most of the arrows they fired were meaningless...
Wanyanchang rode his horse and was about to lead his men to Chuzhou Mansion, but was stopped by Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu smiled and said: "You're lazy, if you rush up now, you've fallen into Zhao Li's trick." Chuzhou
The army has only two thousand soldiers, and the cavalry is even less. Zhao Li is not a fool. Since he dares to tease us like this, he is just bluffing and not letting us rest. It is indeed a good idea to wait for work. There is nothing wrong with you leading the troops to charge forward.
The use will only make the Southern Barbarians laugh. You see, there are only a few dozen defenders at the top of the city, but they want to disturb the rest of my entire army. Since Zhao Li wants to play, let's play with him."
When Wan Yanchang heard that this was indeed the case, he angrily dismounted his horse and cursed loudly with Jin Wushu to watch the changes in the city. The Jin people waited for a long time, and Chuzhou City seemed to be sleeping without making any sound.
The Jin people outside the city gate were just about to return to camp when they heard horns and drums ringing from the top of the city. Then the side door opened, and a dozen Song soldiers came out slowly on horseback holding iron shields. The Jin cavalry attacked them for a while.
Shooting arrows, they immediately retreated to the city without responding for a long time. They repeated this three or five times, and the Jin cavalry no longer took the Song army seriously, laughing and scolding them as if they were watching a show...
But just before dawn, the Jin people were tired and began to feel sleepy while sitting on their horses. The horn sounded again on the top of the city, and the only south gate of Chuzhou Mansion was opened. Hundreds of people galloped out of the city gate.
The cavalry rushed straight towards the Jin cavalry with thunderous momentum. The Song cavalry held up their shields in the front row and fired from the back row, which blinded the Jin cavalry. Four or five Jin cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, and the rest of the Jin cavalry were shot and killed.
The soldiers retreated one after another, and a big change suddenly occurred on the battlefield. By the time the Jin soldiers woke up and organized a counterattack, the Song army had already begun to retreat into the city, and the bodies of the five Song soldiers lying on the ground had disappeared...
Jin Wushu's face was gloomy and frightening. He didn't expect that Zhao Li would take such a big risk for five dead people. He would only do it as a last resort. Zhao Li, you are really teasing me! I
It's really hard to swallow this breath without breaking you to pieces. Jin Wushu's clenched fists were clattering. He turned around and yelled, and the Jin's horn sounded a long blast. The two armies were about to attack at dawn.
Was ignited in advance...
Layers upon layers of Jin infantry drove the vanguard troops towards Chuzhou Prefecture. The vanguard troops were in ragged clothes and held up swords and shields to cover the archers and shoot at the Song army at the top of the city. Zhao Li took a closer look at the top of the city and was struck by Jin.
Among the infantry driven by the people, there were many Liao people, Xixia people, Mongolians and Han people who surrendered to the Jin people. Zhao Li knew that the Jin Kingdom was originally ruled by the Liao Kingdom. Later, Jin Taizu united with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and invaded the Liao Kingdom.
Seeing the vast territory of Mongolia, the Xixia Kingdom surrendered to the Jin Kingdom.
After Wanyanchang captured Shandong, he swept Shandong's grain and surrendered troops into the Jin army to make up for the Jin army's strength. The Han people under the city were forced to surrender by the Jin soldiers' swords, and began to incite Kaicheng to surrender to Zhao Li
After speaking, Zhao Li looked at the city with disdain from behind the battlements. With a wave of his hand, three fires immediately lit up the city, lighting up the outside of Chuzhou Mansion like daylight...
One hundred steps...eighty steps...fifty steps, the leading troops of the Jin Kingdom are getting closer and closer to the city gate of Chuzhou Mansion. Some infantry are already screaming and slashing at the gates in front of the city gate.
The horse was blocked. Zhao Li shouted: "All the soldiers found cover to fight back and shot the Jin people's leading soldiers outside the city. We must not let them get close to the city gate. Kill them!" The Song army at the top of the city shouted.
There was a loud sound, and in an instant, arrows like locusts shot down on the city top, harvesting the lives of the attacking Jin infantry.
When Jin Wushu saw that almost all the rebel horses in front of the city gate were chopped down, he smiled coldly. Jin Wushu didn't care about the life or death of those who surrendered. What he wanted was their lives.
In exchange for the arrows in the hands of Zhao Li's defenders, just when the surrendered troops were about to rush to the city gate, Jin Wushu drew out the long sword in his hand, pointed the sword pointed at Chuzhou Mansion, and ordered the Jin people to set up wooden ladders to prepare to climb the city.
Chuzhou Mansion has been blocked by Zhao Li, leaving only one city gate. If you climb the city elsewhere to open the city gate, it will only be a loss. The Jin man stepped forward with the help of the surrendered army's human shield, carrying a long ladder on his shoulders.
Holding an iron shield on his head and braving the rain of arrows, he quickly rushed to the foot of Chuzhou City and climbed up the long ladder.
Zhao Li shouted from the top of the city and suddenly threw many ceramic jars from the city wall. Some of the ceramic jars fell on the ground, some fell on the wooden ladder, and some simply fell on the iron iron of the Jin infantry.
On the shield, it was smashed to pieces. The outside of the city was suddenly filled with the pungent smell of kerosene. After the fire flashed on the city, rockets shot out of the air, and the Jin's infantry immediately became a sea of fire.
There were loud howls in the sea of fire, and twisted bodies covered in flames fell from the wooden ladder one by one. The fire in Chuzhou Mansion reflected the dark night before dawn. I don’t know how many people could no longer see the coming
The newborn sun...
Wan Yanchang shouted angrily: "Zhao Li used this trick again to stop me, Jin Wushu. What ability do you have to attack Chuzhou Mansion, Jin Wushu!"
Jin Wushu looked at the surrendered army and the soldiers of his own clan in the sea of fire not far away, and said with murderous intent on his face: "I said that if you can break the city today, you must break it for me. Zhao Li will die today..."
