Chapter 407 Surrounding the Hejian Mansion
It was getting dark again, and Wanyan Loushi stayed on the city wall this day. He was nervously staring at the Song army in the distance, thinking about how to deal with the Song army.
The rain was still falling, and at this moment, Wanyan Jing ran to Wanyan Loushi again.
"Why are you here again? Go and have a rest. When your father returns, we will expel the Han people! Zhongshan Prefecture is one of the three northern towns built by the Han people. It is extremely strong. Although there are many Song troops below, it is impossible to break Zhongshan Prefecture in a short period of time!" Wanyan Loushi said.
"Master, I think we should still attack at night! And now is the best opportunity for a night attack!" Wanyan Jing said.
"Now is the best opportunity for a night attack?" Wanyan Loushi was slightly stunned.
"Yes! Now is the best opportunity for a night attack! Master, the Han people were originally humble. This time we first took the initiative to release Hedong, and then gave up Zhending Mansion. The Han people must be arrogant and complacent! Their current military strength is worse than us, and they think they surrounded us here! I think the Han people are definitely not at all wary now! Their military strength was not as good as ours yesterday, so they might be more careful. Now it is different from yesterday! Now we should be able to successfully attack when we go out." Wanyan Jing said.
"This... what you said makes sense." Wanyan Loushi nodded.
"Master, I want to fight! The north is the Song army's cavalry, and the west is the Song army's infantry. Let's go to the west! As long as I lead 10,000 cavalry over there, I will be able to successfully attack! At that time, the Song army's barracks are in chaos and trampling on each other, and there will be heavy casualties." Wanyan Jing said.
"You are only fourteen years old and have never led troops to fight. I am not at ease to ask you to lead troops out." Wanyan Loushi said.
"Master, I am Wanyan Aguda's grandson! I will not embarrass my dead grandfather! I will not embarrass my father, either." Wanyan Jing said.
"Come here, find Saba Bojin! You two go out together, and you will lead 10,000 troops to investigate the truth and reality first! If possible, attack the Han military camp! If there is no chance, you will return to Zhongshan Prefecture! As for me, you should guard this place so as not to be in danger here." Wanyan Loushi said.
"Okay!" Wanyan Jing said happily.
A quarter of an hour later, a tall Jurchen general came to Wanyan Loushi, in front of Wanyan Jing. This was Saba Bojin, the ten thousand-man subordinate of Wanyan Loushi. In fact, Saba Bojin is also a famous figure in history. In history, after Wanyan Loushi died of illness, Saba Bojin fought with Yue Fei with Jin Wushu and was defeated by Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others many times, and his name was also recorded in later history books.
After Wanyan Loushi told Saba Bojin the order of the night attack, Saba Bojin was also happy and laughed: "General, don't worry, they are all infantrymen, and ten thousand of us are enough to destroy their military camp!"
The sky completely darkened. At this moment, the city gate to the west of Zhongshan Prefecture quietly opened a crack, and more than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry rushed out of it.
Their war horses were tied with thick cotton cloth to prevent the sound from being heard by the Song army.
There were wind and rain, and there were only sporadic lights in the military camp to the west.
After the Jurchen cavalry left the city gate, their speed began to slow down and they slowly moved forward to prevent being discovered.
The front was wide open. After walking for more than ten miles, they were not far from the Song army's barracks.
At this time, the terrain gradually grew higher, and there was a hill ahead, and the Song army's barracks were above the hills.
"We have come to the Song army camp! They still don't notice it! This battle will definitely win! After this battle, I will become a hero among the Jurchens, just like grandpa and father!" Wanyan Jing's face was filled with an excited smile.
"Little Prince, after you get to the top, you have to be careful. Follow me closely and I will protect your safety." Saba Bojin looked at Wanyan Jing and whispered.
"I am also very skilled in martial arts and do not need anyone to guard him." Wanyan Jing said coldly.
Saba Bojin frowned slightly.
They headed forward, and gradually they came to the top of the hills.
However, at this moment, the sound of bows and arrows suddenly came from above.
Many arrows fell from above, and a scream came from the Jurchens, and more than a hundred Jurchen soldiers fell down from their horses.
"Not good! There is an ambush above! Retreat!" Saba Bojin was shocked and said.
"Don't retreat! This is just an ordinary arrangement of the Han military camp. There are only more than a thousand archers on it. If we rush up, we will definitely defeat them! The Han people are timid but cautious. Generally speaking, there are so many people guarding outside the military camp!" Wanyan Jing said hurriedly.
"The little prince is right!" Saba Bojin was stunned and said.
He also felt that the number of arrows falling from above was average, with an estimated number of more than a thousand people.
At that moment, Saba Bojin, Wanyan Jing continued to charge upwards with his soldiers!
They had already rushed to the top, and at this time they found that there were indeed more than a thousand Song soldiers standing in the distance.
Saba Bojin, Wanyan Jing was overjoyed and immediately rushed towards the place with his cavalry!
As they were about to approach the thousand Song soldiers, a loud bang came and a deep ditch appeared in front of them. The Jurchens could not stop, and many people fell into the pit, and countless screams happened.
And around, a huge shouting sounded.
From the front, left and right, there were dense Song troops coming towards this place, and the Jurchen cavalry immediately became in chaos.
"Don't panic! They are infantry, we are cavalry, they are not our opponents! Our Jurchens are invincible, they are definitely not our opponents!" Wanyan Jing shouted loudly.
"Little Prince, follow me, let's retreat first!" Saba Bojin said.
"Don't retreat! Follow me and move forward!" Wanyan Jing said angrily.
He was dissatisfied with the Jurchens' "cowardly" nature. He believed that the Jurchen army was invincible in the world, and even ten thousand people were enough to defeat hundreds of thousands of Song troops!
He headed forward first, and Saba Bojin was stunned at first, but in the end he had no choice but to rush forward with his army!
"That's right! It seems that I am still invincible! I rushed forward, and they followed me! I inspired the morale of the entire army alone!" Wanyan Jing was overjoyed and said secretly.
But he didn't know that Saba Bojin was worried about his safety, so he could only follow him all the way. You should know that Wanyan Jing was the second son of Wanyan Zongwang, and his status was noble, so Saba Bojin could not leave Wanyan Jing behind.
Wanyan Jing was excited. He had already seen the Song army in front! The Song army had crossed the deep ditch and came towards here!
Their army collided fiercely with the Song army, and Wanyan Jing felt that his army would definitely be able to tear the Song army apart!
However, something unexpected happened.
The Jurchen army was actually blocked by the Song army composed of infantry!
"How could this happen? No! We should tear the Han team apart! We are cavalry, and we are invincible! Why are we blocked by them now?" Wanyan Jing was incredible.
"The combat power of the Han people is so strong now? Can they block our charge cavalry with the flesh and blood of infantry?" Saba Bojin was also shocked.
Every once in a while, the strength of the Song army seems to have been improved! Now the strength of the Song army has completely surpassed the Jurchens! Even infantrymen, they have the ability to fight head-on with cavalry!
More and more Song troops rushed forward, and the Song troops on both wings had already arrived.
Soon, the Jurchens were completely trapped in siege.
The number of Song troops was far superior to that of the Jurchens. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Jurchens were in chaos and fled to the rear.
Wanyan Jing was still sitting on the stand horse blankly. He couldn't imagine what was happening in front of him, and Saba Bojin rushed to Wanyan Jing and took Wanyan Jing backwards.
The Jurchens defeated soldiers headed towards Zhongshan Prefecture. However, not long after they had just left, the sound of horse hooves came from afar!
Zhang Xian personally led three thousand cavalrymen to arrive!
It turned out that the Song army was prepared for the night attack, and Zhang Xian had been paying close attention to the news about Zhongshan Prefecture. Wanyan Jing and others had just left Zhongshan Prefecture, and someone had already informed Zhang Xian, so Zhang Xian brought thousands of people to the place!
At the moment, with Zhang Xian's charge, the Jurchen defeated team became even more chaotic!
When Saba Bojin brought Wanyan Jing to the gate of the west city of Zhongshan Prefecture, he had only more than 2,000 defeated soldiers left, and the rest were either killed or had no idea where they fled.
Wanyan Loushi had already hurriedly asked someone to open the city gate and put them in.
But Wanyan Loushi didn't dare to open the city gate too wide, so as not to have the Song army following them and suddenly attack the city, which would be awful.
After Wanyan Jing entered Zhongshan Prefecture, he was still pale and speechless.
"What the hell is going on? I asked you two to go out. If the Song army was prepared, they would naturally not be able to attack them! If they were not prepared, you would launch a sneak attack again! Why are the casualties so severe now?" Wanyan Loushi said with some anger.
"Master, our Jurchens are invincible! Only ten thousand people can destroy hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Song troops. Why can't it be done now?" Wanyan Jing said in a daze.
"You damn thing!" Wanyan Loushi immediately knew that it was Wanyan Jing's trouble and was very angry.
"Master, this is wrong! Did the Han people have been cast by some demonic magic? I don't believe they are so powerful!" Wanyan Jing said.
"Nothing! Don't go out to fight again in the future!" Wanyan Loushi said coldly.
"If they were real Han people, I could kill hundreds or thousands of people alone, but they were cast by someone and were no longer Han people! This is not a crime of war!" Wanyan Jing's eyes were dull, but he was laughing.
Wanyan Loushi frowned, and he gently pressed Wanyan Jing's forehead, and Wanyan Jing fell to the ground immediately.
"It seems that this child cannot accept this failure, so let him take a break first." Wanyan Loushi said.
"General, what should we do now?" Saba Bojin said.
"The Song people have a strict defense, so let's wait for the second prince to return!" Wanyan Loushi said.
*******
Late at night on that day, the Jingyuan Army and the Yangtze River Navy Army had a total of 150,000 troops, but they came to the city of Dezhou and surrounded the city of Dezhou!
There were only 20,000 puppet troops in Dezhou City. When the sky was just dawn in the morning, the leader of the 20,000 puppet troops had already hurriedly ran out and surrendered to the Song army.
The Song army entered Dezhou City, confiscated all the weapons of the Dezhou puppet army, leaving 3,000 people to garrison here, and then the 150,000 troops continued to go west.
On September 28, a 150,000 army arrived outside Hejian Prefecture.
There are still 10,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses in Hejian Mansion, and Zhao Zhe personally led 100,000 Jingyuan Army to surround Hejian Mansion.
