Before the reinforcements of the Jin soldiers arrived, the Song soldiers retreated safely. However, the crisis was not resolved. If the Jin soldiers advanced rapidly and attacked Dashan Pass, the ratio of the strength of the two sides reached five to one. Whether General Wu Shen could hold on remains to be seen.
At the Zhuang banquet before they sneaked into the city, General Wu Shen once told Zhang Butcher about an old incident decades ago. At that time, the Jin Dynasty retreated after the invasion. In order to prevent the Jin from invading again, the famous general Zongze proposed to
The border was heavily defended, but the ministers in the DPRK said that if the Jin soldiers did not come, military pay would be wasted. In order to save money, they ignored the safety of the country, and later came the shame of Jingkang. Now, the peace has lasted for a long time, and the court emphasizes civil service over military force.
, there are many courtiers who have this idea. When making decisions on the battlefield, one must wait until the news is 100% accurate before sending troops for reinforcements. Moreover, when sending troops, one must ask for instructions at all levels, and it takes more than ten or twenty days to do so.
After burning the enemy's granary last time, General Wu appreciated Butcher Zhang's courage and bravery and taught him some military tactics. Butcher Zhang thought about it carefully and said, "I have a method that I can try. We can wait until their troops call in.
After the battalion moved to Dashan Pass, when the troops in the city were empty, chaos was created so that they could not pass through both ends. They thought that our Song army was coming, so they could not attack Dashan Pass with all their strength."
Zhang Tufu added, "The general leads the troops on an expedition. The general's mansion is heavily defended, but other officials' mansions are not well defended. Twenty of us can use several private houses as residences and divide into teams of five to lead them.
Armed with arrows and weapons, they secretly entered it, either in the early morning or late at night, and killed one or two officials or several soldiers every day, and set several houses on fire to disturb the hearts of the people in Sanguan City. Once they succeeded, they immediately
Hide in the houses of the Hui people. At the same time, you can post surrender notices everywhere, saying that our Song Dynasty soldiers will arrive soon. In four or five days, when the people in the city are in chaos, we will withdraw some soldiers and return to the city to help defend."
"The Suspicious Soldier's Plan"
Zhang Butcher, learns the art of war,
Spread suspicions on soldiers and disrupt the enemy camp.
The enemy troops attacked the border with all their strength,
The spies are doing dirty tricks from behind.
The sharp sword dodges and takes away his life,
The arrow pierced the enemy's throat as soon as it came out.
The Song army posted notices all over the city wall,
Rumors spread among the pubs.
At that moment, the twenty people were divided into four groups. On the first day, an official and two soldiers were killed, and Tingwei searched the city to no avail. On the second day, another official was killed by a crossbow arrow on the road, and Tingwei searched the whole city again.
They went to the hotel in the city, but no suspicious persons were found. The officials were so frightened that they did not dare to ride horses during the meeting. At the same time, they asked the general to send more soldiers to protect them. On the third day, two officials were killed at home. The accommodation for low-ranking officials was simple, with only one or two
Servants, no servants, and no sense of security. So, we gathered in the yamen day and night, and there were many people talking and talking. Under the panic, some pessimistic discussions naturally appeared. I thought that I, Da Jin, should return to the army to stabilize the situation first.
If what the notice says is true and a group of Song soldiers emerge from nowhere, our retreat will be gone.
In the city, in addition to Zhang Tufu and others, there were also some people who were loyal to the Song Dynasty. There were a lot of discussions in the teahouses and restaurants, and people's hearts were floating. The Jin generals withdrew some of their troops and strengthened patrols. No officials were assassinated for four consecutive days, although
The case was not solved, and Tingwei felt a little relieved. That night, he suddenly saw a huge fire in the northeast corner. A fire broke out in an official's stable. The fire spread to the main house and burned four or five houses. On the fifth day, a fire broke out in a brothel.
, burned a yard, although no one died, but because it was in a busy city, it had great influence. Rumors spread everywhere in the tavern and alleys that the Jin generals had been defeated, and that the vanguard of the Song Dynasty had entered the city and assassinated the officials who attacked the Song Dynasty. At this time,
Another news came that the deputy general who attacked Dashan Pass was killed during the siege. The anti-Jin forces in the city were ready to move and told each other. The Jin general panicked and sent an order to dispatch some of the soldiers who had attacked the pass back to the city to strengthen patrols day and night.
The soldiers were taken away, and the pressure on the guards at Dasanguan was relieved a lot. Butcher Zhang and others breathed a sigh of relief, laid in ambush, and did not take any action for the time being.
The guest stretched his neck and said: "Is this ancient guerrilla warfare? Today, I won't do anything but listen to the explanation next time. I saw that there is tenderloin in your kitchen. My child likes sweet and sour pork very much, so it will be today's main dish.
Serve."
Sweet and sour pork is easier to make. After a while, he came out with a bowl of bright red vegetables.
"Chu Tianyao, Sweet and Sour Pork"
Vegetables become piles of ruby,
It tastes as delicious as first love.
Pork tenderloin cut into strips,
Coat in oil and fry.
white sweet and sour starch,
sweet and sour tomato juice,
The graceful jade body is wrapped in red gauze.
A little sesame flavor.
With the sweet and sour pork, the children stopped making noise and listened quietly to him telling the story of Butcher Zhang.
The Jin soldiers conducted a search, captured some civilians, announced that the spies had been eliminated, and sent troops to attack Dashan Pass. Butcher Zhang waited for two days and saw that they were really unprepared. He also found out that there was one of their weapons depots in the northwest corner.
The guard was not tight. The people gathered together to discuss: "If we can take over this warehouse, we will surely disrupt the Jin people's position and help General Wu defend the city."
At dawn, Butcher Zhang secretly entered the camp with twenty people, killed the sentry with a crossbow, and entered the camp silently, only to find that it was an empty camp.
Having fallen into the trap of luring the enemy, Zhang Tufu and others screamed secretly. There was a sudden whistle from the surroundings, and hundreds of elite soldiers emerged and came to kill them. It turned out that General Jin was not an incompetent person. He was well versed in the art of war and knew how to hunt and arrest people throughout the city.
, will definitely make the people panic, but they may not be able to catch them. Therefore, they adopted the method of tightening internally and loosening externally, and deliberately released news in the wine shop to let them discover the armory. The two sides fought hard, but because they were outnumbered, the other side also
Premeditated, Butcher Zhang lost five soldiers in one fell swoop. There was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement, so Butcher Zhang simply went to the warehouse to kill. After retreating into the warehouse, he was surrounded. The Jin soldiers shouted outside and put down their weapons to surrender.
, to avoid death. Seeing that there were only six wounded soldiers around him, and there was no hope of breaking out, Butcher Zhang looked at them and said: "I am born as a Song Dynasty person, and I die as a ghost of the Song Dynasty. It is worth it for us to burn this armory."
He shouted: "There is always death in life, it is better to die a passionate death and be a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty." All the soldiers regarded death as home. Butcher Zhang ordered to light a fire, and the baggage and grain and grass were blazing. After the soldiers shouted "Long live the Song Dynasty",
Quietly waiting for death to come. Jin soldiers saw that the fire was too strong and they could not escape the disaster anyway, so they just stayed around and did not dare to go in.
"Sacrificing Life for Righteousness"
Robbing ordnance, ambushing,
The enemy is hundreds, and I am twenty.
Trapped in a tight siege and unable to escape,
I only want to dedicate this life to my family and country.
Buried with baggage and food,
The green mountains beyond the Great Wall bury my bones.
A man's body is wrapped in horse leather,
A real man trains his soul in the fire.
The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the beams began to collapse. Seeing that there was no way to survive, several people clasped their hands and prepared to accept death. Suddenly there was a thunderbolt, and hailstones as big as eggs fell from the sky, making people unable to open their eyes.
God help me, the six people hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the siege. There were heavy soldiers at the city gate. They went around the city wall, but the wall was too high to jump down, and the pursuers came again. Three more people died in the fight, and only one was left.
The three hunters were desperate when they saw a dark figure in front of them. It looked like a fat man. He held a fan and said to them: "Stand still and let me give you a lift."
