Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 583 Array in front of the city
Walking out of the waterlogged river valley and looking at the continuous low hills ahead, Wanyan Yuying said: "It's really strange, none of the riders returned to the barracks in the past two days. What's so strange about this Shenshan County?"

The deputy general said: "Dozens of rangers are enough to capture the county seat. Mr. Lang stepped forward, maybe the rangers are waiting for us in Shenshan County."

Wanyan Kuiying shook her head and said, "Don't think the battle is going so smoothly. This Shenshan County is said to be soldiers sent by Wang Xiaolie, which is very different from other Song soldiers. Back then in Jingmen, Uncle A and I Returning to the north from there, they were blocked by Wang Xiaolie, and the rangers also disappeared. Perhaps this is Wang Xiaolie's habit of fighting. Many cavalry in the army cleared the rangers before the battle. ——Order, let everyone move forward carefully !"

On the hillside three miles away, Jiang Min observed Jin Jun with a telescope.The seventy or eighty cavalrymen under him followed the Jin army and kept moving forward.

In the evening, when the Jin army began to set up camp, Jiang Min said: "There are still fifteen miles away from the three forts ahead. The Jin army camped here, and it seems that they want to attack the fort tomorrow. We are less than a hundred people, and we must not be able to stop the three thousand gold From now on, just follow the Jin army, don’t get too close. Even if the Jin army sends out rangers, don’t worry about them.”

The subordinates promised.

It wasn't until dark that Wanyan Gouying stayed in his tent, eating wine and meat while listening to his subordinates' reports.

The deputy general returned home and said, "There is no household within ten miles around. The guard here is called Jiang Min. After hearing about it, he built a new fortress, and all the people lived in the fortress. Fifteen miles ahead is Shenshan County. , there was no city at first, but now three castles have been consolidated. The three castles are not far from each other, and they are in the shape of horns."

Wanyan Yuying said: "This Jiang Min is very careful in doing things."

He returned home and said: "Lang Jun, the guards of Shenshan County have no flaws. This Jiang Min is the opponent."

Wan Yi Yingying said with a smile: "No matter how careful you are, what if you don't have soldiers? After many investigations, there are only about 1000 defenders in Shenshan. In front of our army, what should 1000 people do? Make meals at midnight, set off at the time of ugliness, and attack at the hour of Chen." Shenshan County! See if the three forts built by Song Jun can stop me!"

Don't say yes back home.

When the generals left, Wanyan Gouying finely sliced ​​the meat with a knife, drank a sip of wine from time to time, and didn't care about the coming battle.After serving in the army for decades, he was defeated by Wang Xiaolie once in Jingmen.Who is Jiang Min?I want to defeat myself with more than 1000 Song troops!

Back then in Jingmen, he had fewer soldiers than Wang Xiaolie, and Wang Xiaolie took advantage of the location.This time in Shenshan County, I have two or three times as many soldiers as Jiang Min, so how can there be any reason for failure?Since Jingkang, three thousand golden soldiers are enough to run amok half of China, and it is a joke to be blocked by a small county like Shenshan.

Before dawn the next day, the Jin army had already pulled out their camp and headed straight for the Shenshan County in front.

The moon had already set, and in the dark night, there was only a sky full of stars, curiously looking at the meandering golden army.The Jin army did not light a torch, and the army marched quietly along the road to the county.The evening wind in spring brought dew, which covered the uniforms of soldiers.

In Shenshan County, Yao Su, the commander, got the news that the Jin army was leaving, and hurriedly recruited all the generals.Then he said to the soldiers: "The Jin army is still several miles away, and they can only arrive at the county seat in the early morning. Go to the other two forts and call Qin and Zhao, and we will discuss it."

The three castles are very close.Shenshan County is located in the south, and there are two castles on the north, one on the left and one on the right. The distance is just enough to ensure that their artillery can reach the front of Shenshan County.

After receiving the news, Qin Dutou from Zuobao and Zhao Dutou from Youbao hurried to the county seat.

In the village hall, Commander Yao Su sat in the middle.On the left are Qin Dutou and Zhao Dutou, and on the right are Meng Dutou and Yan Dutou who guard the county seat.The command organization of the battalion and the rear army were led by Lu Jian, and they hid in the mountains with Jiang Min. Only Sidu was guarding the city.

Looking at the crowd, Yao Su said: "The news from the front shows that the Jin army has already set off, and it is estimated that they can arrive in front of the city at [-]:[-]. The Jin army should concentrate on attacking my fort, and the left and right forts should not let go of the opportunity. Remember what Zhao Fu said, use artillery to kill the enemy as much as possible!"

The generals said yes.

Yao Su said: "To tell you the truth, I'm very panicked now. The three thousand gold army used to be able to move everywhere, and no one could do anything to them. Now we only have 400 people guarding the city, so whoever knows what will happen. You all have to remember, No matter what happens, the left and right forts should not leave the city. Unless the golden army abandons me and attacks the left or right fort with all its strength, I will send reinforcements! Before the war, I have nothing to say, I can only say that we will fight to the end together! "

Qin Dutou said: "The recruitment has been clearly arranged, and the Jin army is just sent to death!"

Yao Su smiled: "That's right, the recruiting arrangement is very good. But on the battlefield, many things are not clear, so I can only ask you guys."

After finishing speaking, he arranged some miscellaneous matters such as how the three castles would cooperate, how to support them, and then ordered Qin Dutou and Zhao Dutou to go back to their own castle.

Ordering Meng Dutou and Yan Dutou to prepare for the battle, Yao Su went to the top of the city alone.

The long river is gradually falling, and the sky has appeared in the east.Everything around is quiet, appearing quiet and detailed.In the faintly lit sky, the golden army of the brigade was slowly revealed.They formed a strict formation and approached Shenshan County in an orderly manner.

Seeing the approaching Jin Jun, Yao Su took a long breath and let it out again.He said in a low voice: "Zhiniang thief, today I'm going to see the real chapter!"

After finishing speaking, he punched violently and suddenly felt excited for no reason.

Wanyan Kuiying looked at the castle in front of her and said sharply, "Set up camp two hundred steps in front of the city! Don't wait for dawn, attack the city directly! The first climber will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

The generals promise.The quiet army suddenly boiled.

Yao Su on the top of the city watched that the Jin army didn't stop, but kept pushing two hundred steps into the front of the city before starting to form formation.Worried that he was wrong, Yao Su rubbed his eyes vigorously.Said: "The Jin army is crazy! Don't camp in front of the city, do you want to break the city one day?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around abruptly and said sharply: "The artillery is ready!"

The artillery on the top of the city promised together.Quickly load gunpowder and prepare shells.

Under normal circumstances, the Jin army should camp one, two, or even five miles away from the city and organize attacks every day.It was close, not to mention the artillery of the Song army, even if the defenders in the city suddenly opened the door and rushed out, it was easy to disperse the Jin army.Wanyan Yuying is really overconfident in doing this.

As the Jin army lined up, the artillery of the Song army at the head of the city was also loaded.The gunner held the red-hot iron bars in the charcoal tray, and looked at Yao Su eagerly.
