He was not referring to the fact that the Baoyuan Army had not yet arrived to support him, he was referring to the pace of the Wei Army's attack.
Recall that half a month ago, when the Wei army took advantage of the mist and rain to sneak attack on Pilao Pass, the Wei army's offensive was so fierce and rapid that Jin Piao's army could only stop the Wei army from occupying the pass wall by rushing forward and swarming up the pass wall to die, using their lives to prevent the Wei army from occupying the pass wall.
But today, Wei Jun seemed a little lazy.
No, the Wei army's catapults had already thrown dozens of oil barrel bombs, creating dozens of large and small fires in the city of Xuansi. But what about the backbone of the Wei army, the sword and shield soldiers? It was only then that they slowly
Walking out of the array is a bit complimentary to these Wei soldiers, but this is clearly just moving!
The distance is only two miles, and after walking one stick of incense, there is still one mile left. What are these Wei troops doing for food?
"General." Deputy General Qingyao reminded him in a low voice.
As if he had read Qingyao's thoughts, Jin Yao shook his head and said, "Be patient."
He knew what Qingyao meant, it was just to remind him that the Wei soldiers with swords and shields outside the city were getting closer and closer to the city wall, but Jin Bo could not see any threat to Xuans City from these Wei soldiers.
It is undeniable that the Wei army's first offensive included a total of five infantry phalanxes, each with about a thousand people. In other words, five phalanxes equaled 5,000 infantry.
For one side of the city wall of Xuansi City, five thousand infantrymen were enough to pose a threat.
Of course, the premise is that the opponent really intends to attack the city by force. As for the Wei soldiers outside the city, Jin Mao has no idea that these Wei soldiers have any intention of attacking the city, even though these people are carrying many ladders.
Are you waiting for General (Bao Yuan)'s 30,000 cavalry, Wei Gongzi Ji Run?...Aren't you too timid?
Jin Mao wanted to laugh a little, because in his eyes, the Wei army was too timid.
At this moment, a scene vaguely appeared in his mind: a cunning little fox saw a piece of fresh meat placed in a place where hunters often appeared. Because he didn't know what hunter was hiding nearby, so this cunning little fox
He slowly scratched the piece of meat with his claws, looking around alertly every time he scratched, ready to turn around and run away at any time.
Isn't that what the Wei army is like at this moment?
They launched an offensive against the Xuans bit by bit, just to draw out Baoyuan's 30,000 cavalry.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Wei army’s crossbow phalanx also gradually advanced towards Xuanshi County.
But what is puzzling is that the formation used by these Wei crossbowmen when they marched towards Xuanshi County was a bit strange. The crossbowmen on the north side used a very conventional square formation, but the Wei crossbowmen on the south side
, the one-word formation actually faced the south.
As far as Xuansi City is concerned, the Wei army's crossbowmen located on the south side adopted a straight-line formation.
How can there be any use in attacking a city with a vertical formation?
With such a formation, the Wei crossbowmen on the south side could not fully exert their force.
Jin Miao never believed that a person like Wei Gongzi Ji Run would commit such a completely unreasonable negligence.
Then the truth of the matter is obvious: the Wei soldiers on the south side of the battlefield were used to guard against Baoyuan's 30,000 cavalry, in case the latter suddenly came out and launched a surprise attack on the Wei army.
"What a cunning and cautious little fox..." Jin Yao murmured to himself.
When the deputy general Qingyao heard this, he looked at Jin Fu in surprise, not knowing what his general was talking about.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He turned his head and glanced south, with a look of surprise on his face.
"General." Qingyao patted Jin Mao's arm, then pointed to the south and said: "General Baoyuan's 30,000 cavalry...are here!"
Jin Mao frowned when he heard this and turned his head to look south.
In fact, Qingyao didn't need to remind him, Jin Mao also felt it. After all, the Baoyuan Army had a total of 30,000 cavalry, and when they moved together, it was as if the whole earth was shaking. There was no reason why he couldn't feel it.
"It's early..."
Jin Mao said with a wry smile.
At the same time, three to five miles southwest of Xuushi City, the 30,000 cavalry led by Han general Baoyuan slowly stopped advancing and stood by in place.
The Han general Bao Yuan and several generals rode their horses up a small slope and looked at the battle situation in Xuushi County in the distance, frowning deeply.
In fact, a moment ago, when the army's cavalry reported back to Bao Yuan the news they had obtained from exploring this area, Bao Yuan was still a little unbelievable: It was almost the end of the day, could the Wei army launch an attack on Yuan's County?
What about the promised dawn attack?
After thinking about it and feeling that something was wrong, Han general Bao Yuan simply led 30,000 light cavalry to Xuushi County. Anyway, no matter what happened today, there would definitely be a battle between him and the Wei army under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
After arriving in the area of Xunshi City, Bao Yuan discovered that there were about 50,000 or 60,000 King Su troops in the distance. They could be said to be all over the mountains and fields, stretching from heaven to earth. What's funny is that these 50,000 to 60,000 Wei troops were clearly showing off.
They launched a fierce attack on Xuanshi County, but placed the center of defense on the south side.
What's more, with the earthquake caused by the approach of 30,000 light cavalry, there was some commotion among the Wei sword and shield soldiers who were only one mile away from the city wall of Xuushi County. There was a team of a thousand people. Somehow
He actually wanted to retreat back to the main formation.
This is very embarrassing.
Jin Mao looked at Wei Jun outside the city with a funny look on his face.
Bao Yuan also looked at the Wei army in the north with a smile but not a smile.
The Wei army, on the other hand, remained motionless. Even the small group of Wei army that had been preparing to attack Huanshi County temporarily stopped advancing.
The three armies on the entire battlefield seemed to be at a standstill.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Wei army suddenly began to take action. Five thousand sword and shield soldiers carrying ladders and two Wei armies each with five thousand crossbowmen slowly advanced towards Xuanshi County again.
Seeing this, the half-smiling look on Bao Yuan's face gradually faded away, and he frowned and glanced at the royal flag flying in the direction of the Wei army's main formation with the words "King Wei" and "King Su" flying in the direction.
What an arrogant and conceited Wei boy!
Bao Yuan snorted softly, with a bit of displeasure in his eyes.
In fact, he knew very well that Wei Gongzi Ji Run was provoking him and forcing him to lead the cavalry to attack the Wei army's defense line, but he still didn't like it.
"General?" Bao Yuan's general Hua Chang asked tentatively.
Bao Yuan shook his head and said calmly: "Wait a moment... I would like to see how long Wei Gongzi Ji Run can keep pretending."
At this time, on the city wall of Yunshi County, Jin Yao also clearly saw the scene where the Wei army provoked the Baoyuan army.
"General, the enemy is already within a stone's throw." Deputy General Qingyao reminded from the side.
Jin Mao pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Wait a little longer..."
In fact, he was also a little curious: When the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Baoyuan Army were watching eagerly, would Wei Gongzi Ji Run really dare to launch a fierce attack on the Xuans' city?
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a loud bang from the Wei army's main position, and then hundreds of wooden barrels were thrown towards Xuushi City.
What?!
Jin Mao raised his head in shock and looked at the hundreds of wooden barrels coming toward him in mid-air in the distance, his heart pounding in fear.
On this battlefield, no one knew what was in these barrels better than the soldiers and generals of Jin Piao's army.
For a moment, Jin Bo's soldiers and generals on the west wall of Xu's City all looked at the sky in shock, because they discovered that the target of bombing these barrels was actually the west wall of Xu's City where they were!
"General, be careful!"
Jin Yao's guards were shocked. They protected Jin Yao among them and kept saying: "General, retreat!"
With that said, without waiting for Jin Yao's reaction, the guards escorted their general down the city wall.
At the same time, the generals of Jin Fu's army on the city wall also urged the soldiers to leave the city wall.
Everyone knows that once those wooden barrels filled with black oil burst near the city wall and a huge fire broke out, no one would be able to escape.
Mixed in with countless Jin Kuai generals who fled the city wall in a hurry, Jin Kuai lowered the city wall under the protection of his guards.
As he walked, Jin Mao was still a little stunned.
He really couldn't understand why the Wei army suddenly threw hundreds of wooden barrels at the west city wall at this time. Could it be that Wei Gongzi Ji Run had changed his mind and was preparing to attack the city?
Something's wrong...
Jin Mao, who was gradually calming down, felt that something was wrong. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the city wall behind him.
At this moment, a wooden barrel jumped over the high city wall and hit Jin Mao three feet away.
"The general's little... heart..."
A guard's panicked cry soon turned into confusion and shock.
Because he saw that after the barrel exploded, what splashed out was not the black oil at all, but clean water.
The wooden sticks originally used to ignite the oil made a squeaking sound when they came into contact with the clear water, and were extinguished in the blink of an eye.
For a moment, the soldiers and generals of Jin Fu's army who fled down the city wall in a hurry looked at each other: Where is the promised fire?
Who would have thought that this time, the hundreds of wooden barrels were filled with just ordinary water.
It's ridiculous that their thousands of soldiers were so frightened by hundreds of barrels filled with water that they couldn't even care about the city wall.
…
In an instant, Han general Jin Fu's face turned ashen.
At this time, a general of Jin's army shouted: "No! City wall!"
Hearing this, thousands of Jin Fu's soldiers and generals inside the city wall subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the city wall. Immediately, their faces showed a dull look.
Because at this moment, the west city wall was already filled with Wei soldiers. These Wei soldiers were condescending and showed bright smiles towards the Korean soldiers on the inside of the wall.
Immediately, they raised their crossbows.
"Fire the arrow!"
As one of the thousand generals of the Wei army shouted, the Wei soldiers who easily captured the wall on the west wall of Xuans City launched a barrage of crossbow bolts into the city.
Some of Jin's soldiers may try to recapture the city wall, but the steps leading to the city wall are guarded by layers of sword and shield soldiers of the Wei army, and the Korean army cannot rush through at all.
With just hundreds of barrels filled with water, the Wei army successfully frightened the Jin Piao soldiers stationed on the west city wall. When they fled the city wall in fear, the Wei army infantry and crossbowmen outside the city changed from their slow and leisurely behavior.
Offensive, launched a sudden attack, and easily captured the west wall.
Under the eyes of Han general Baoyuan's 30,000 Qingqi!
At the same time, in Wei's main formation, Zhao Hongrun glanced at the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Storm Kite Army who were eyeing the south, and grinned maliciously.
