Chapter 212 Sun Ziyi's Distress

Su Yonglin was very sure that in the current situation, he didn't need to attack, and the golden soldiers in the city would definitely send someone to attack him.

Sure enough, on the third night after that, the golden soldiers in the city couldn't help it.

Seeing the rapid progress of the project of the coalition forces outside the city, they couldn't bear it and forced out of the city to attack at night.

As a result, he was noticed by the big yellow dog when he crossed the horse.

When a dog barked, almost all the dogs barked, barking and barking, not to mention people, even ghosts could wake up.

The sneak attack troops thought they had been discovered, and they panicked immediately.

At night, the guards were instantly alert, and a volley of bows and crossbows shot past. When the golden soldiers fled, many people fell into the moat and drowned.

Wu Gu Lun Wolun was completely panicked.

He felt that if he didn't take the initiative to attack, he could only wait for the water to flood the mountains, and he would be trapped to death with everyone in the city.

However, if you want to take the initiative to attack, it will be too difficult and the losses will be huge.

He had never thought of such a dilemma before.

He never imagined that as a defender of the city, he would be entangled in the issue of whether to attack or not, and he was no longer like a defender, but an attacking side, and the trend of attack and defense changed.

War is so wonderful.

While Wu Gu Lun Wolun was worried, Sun Ziyi was also wary of the arrival of the Golden Army cavalry because of the intelligence warning from Su Yonglin. They fortified the camp and made it a stronghold for defense operations.

Then he started the mode of siege without attack, intending to drag the Golden Army cavalry to the Hejian City to fight the war of attrition.

Sun Ziyi believed that the Jin Army cavalry was indeed elite, but if he didn't go out to fight against the Jin Army, then the Jin Army certainly couldn't force him to fight. .

His strength is far superior to the Golden Army. He believes that with these strengths, even if it is consumed, the Golden Army will be consumed.

But Wanyan Alin is not an idiot, he is very shrewd and good at mathematics, Sun Ziyi can calculate the accounts clearly, of course he can also figure it out, so he will definitely not fight Sun Ziyi in a war of attrition.

Wanyan Alin learned through investigation that Sun Ziyi was besieging Hejian City without attacking, and instead strengthened the camp. He had a long-term attitude and knew that his whereabouts should be known by the other party.

The other party decided to take Hejian City as a bet and have a decisive battle with himself.

If they couldn't fight in the field, the cavalry's advantage over the infantry would not be that great. Wanyan A-Lin would not be so stupid as to use such a valuable mobile elite force and the large-numbered Liberation Army to fight a war of attrition.

The idea of ​​letting the Restoration Army and the Hejian City defenders consume each other's strength was shattered, and Wanyan A-Lin felt that he could not wait any longer.

He couldn't let the Restoration Army really drag the time down like that, and there were no living people in Hejian City. Even if he could defeat them, his strategic goal would be a failure.

The Restoration Army wants to fight a war of attrition in Hejian City, so...

Just cut off his back, rob him of food, and destroy his food reserves, so that he can be forced to come out and fight a strategic battle, right?

So Wanyan Alin decided to send troops to take a detour to the rear of Sun Ziyi's army to do something.

On November [-]th, Wanyan Alin dispatched two thousand elite cavalry from Mozhou to the south, bypassing the main force of the Restoration Army in Hejian Mansion, turned a corner and headed south, and without any precautions, smoothly advanced to the area of ​​Hejian Mansion. South.

Then, by capturing the soldiers of the Liberation Army, they tortured the location of the forage camp of the Liberation Army.

So two thousand elite cavalry on the starry night marched to attack the forage camp of the Liberation Army.

Although the garrison of the grain and grass camp was not slack, it was unable to withstand the Jin army's surprise attack in the early morning. After a fierce battle, almost the entire army was wiped out.

On November [-], two thousand fine cavalry of the Jin army went north along the way.

On November [-], [-] elite cavalry drove the prisoners of war to the rear of the Restoration Army Camp in Hejianfu, causing a violent earthquake.

The food and forage camp was destroyed, and the back road was cut off. There was only seven days of food in the barracks, which was unbearable for a long battle.

At the same time, Wanyan Alin and the main force of the Jin Army also appeared in the north of Hejian City, forming a north-south attack with the two thousand commandos, forming a loose encirclement of the Restoration Army camp. .

They simply camped, as if waiting for the Restoration Army to strike, or to starve to death after a few days of exhaustion.

Sun Ziyi was shocked when he learned of this situation. He didn't expect that his back path would be cut off by the Golden Army cavalry, and the grain and forage camp would be destroyed. He regretted not sending more troops to guard the grain and forage camp.

But this is the end, regret is useless.

Sun Ziyi knew that he only had seven days. If he could not kill a bloody path within seven days, then he would be wiped out.

So he decided to take a risk and sent 5000 of his elite cavalry to form an formation to attack the Golden Army cavalry in the south of the camp, trying to open up the road to the south and re-open the supply line.

But when the Restoration Army attacked, the Jin Army retreated, and if the Restoration Army attacked again, the Jin Army still retreated, that is, not fighting the Restoration Army, but hanging the Restoration Army from afar.

They just don't fight, they just keep retreating and hanging from a distance.

Leading this elite trooper is Sun Ziyi's favorite general Du Yongtao. He is tall and brave, and is known as the number one brave general under Sun Ziyi's command.

But now facing the cunning Jin army, he also had a hard time, so he unknowingly went deeper into the south, away from the barracks, forgetting Sun Ziyi's instructions that he must never stay away from the barracks.

When Wanyan Alin learned of the situation, he immediately dispatched another [-] cavalry to move quickly and directly detoured to the rear of Du Yongtao's army, cutting off their way back to the camp.

Under the fluctuating military spirit, the Jin Army cavalry was given good offensive conditions.

This time, the Jin Army did not give in, but launched a very sharp attack. The three thousand cavalry in the rear also caught up, and the six thousand cavalry surrounded the five thousand Restoration Corps.

They repeatedly attacked and shot the Liberation Army formations with bows and arrows, going back and forth several times, trying to exhaust the physical strength of the Liberation Army.

The formation of the Restoration Army was greatly shaken, and Du Yongtao's timely delivery of instructions was able to stabilize the formation.

Du Yongtao knew that he had been tricked, and the current situation was not good. A little carelessness would destroy the army formation. Once the army formation was destroyed, everything would be over.

He ordered all the crossbowmen in the army to send out firepower and continue to strike.

Because the infantry bows and crossbows have a relatively long range and still have a certain deterrent effect on the cavalry, the Jin Army cavalry did not achieve very favorable results for a while, but they did not retreat, and continued to repeatedly attack and harass.

Du Yongtao was overwhelmed by the disturbance and felt that he could not sit still. He began to try to direct the army to move northward continuously, slowly advancing the Jin army to retreat, and trying to get closer to the main camp.

However, after sensing the actions of this army, the Golden Army cavalry began to launch a more active attack.

Many soldiers of the Restoration Army fell under the rain of arrows from the Golden Army, and many Golden Army cavalrymen were hit by the counterattack of the Restoration Army, fell off their horses, and were trampled into a pile of rotten meat.

The two sides suffered damage to each other at this stage, but the Restoration Army could no longer continue to advance north, and was held back by the Jin Army.

Seeing this, Du Yongtao gritted his teeth and ordered the army to stand still, waiting for the reinforcements from the battalion to come to rescue him.

A small number of cavalry as a counter-attack force were protected in the infantry army formation, ready to wait for reinforcements to come and fight together to maintain the counter-attack force.

He believed that when things got to this point, reinforcements from the main camp would not fail to come, so it was okay to wait for reinforcements here.

Indeed, seeing that Du Yongtao's army was trapped, Sun Ziyi immediately organized troops to go out to support him.

Another brave general, Xue Li, led another 5000 people to attack, preparing to meet Du Yongtao's troops, but before they could be received, Xue Li's army was also surrounded by a group of Golden Army cavalry, and they gave them for nothing.

The two Golden Army cavalry attacked the surrounded infantry formation in this way, and Xue Li's army, like Du Yongtao's army, struggled hard and struggled to support.
