Four hundred and twenty seventh chapter empty plan
King Kong City.
This is a small city located northwest of Zhongjing. There are very few residents in the city, but there are a large number of troops stationed there.
In fact, King Kong City was originally one of the fortresses that defended Zhongjing, and in the northeast of Zhongjing, there was a similar Tianwang City. The two small cities were like the horns of Zhongjing, forming a strong defense line.
Xiao Feng first climbed to the top of the city and looked down. He saw densely packed military camps of the Jin Army outside the city. The entire King Kong City was surrounded, and it was difficult for even a bird to fly out.
A group of Jin troops stood arrogantly outside the city gate, yelling at the Liao troops on top of the city. This was almost a daily routine for the Jin troops, in order to force the Liao troops to leave the city for a decisive battle.
Of course, Xiao Fengxian could not leave the city. After all, there were only 8,000 garrison troops in King Kong City, but there were 10,000 gold troops outside the city. Not to mention that they did not have an advantage in military strength. Even if their strength was twice that of the opponent, Xiao Fengxian had no chance of winning.
"Your Majesty, the Jin army outside the city has been surrounding us for three days, but they keep scolding us for not attacking the city. Why do I feel something is wrong?"
At this moment, a young Khitan man about twenty years old came to Xiao Fengxian and said with a solemn expression.
This young man's name is Yelu Dashi, and he is also from the royal family of the Liao Kingdom. However, the family has long been in decline. Some time ago, Yelu Yanxi recruited troops. Yelu Dashi made many military exploits after joining the army, so he was quickly promoted and became Xiao Fengxian's deputy.
"It is indeed unusual for the Jin army to besiege and not attack, but in this situation, what else can we do besides holding on?"
Xiao Fengxian patted the other party's shoulder and sighed.
Xiao Fengxian still attaches great importance to Yelu Dashi, because Yelu Dashi is not only brave, but also likes to read, and his performance on the battlefield is extremely outstanding. If he were not too young, he could become the most outstanding general in the Liao Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried that the Jin army is encircling and not attacking. In fact, they want to contain us and make us lose contact with Zhongjing. In this way, Zhongjing will become an isolated city."
Yelu Dashi said anxiously again.
This Yelu Dashi is exactly the Yelu Dashi who established the Western Liao in history. Although he is still very young now, he has already shown extraordinary ability. From some clues of the Jin Army, he also analyzed some very useful intelligence.
.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, and then asked.
In fact, he also felt that something was wrong from the Jin army's attitude of besieging but not attacking, but the troops in his hands were limited, so he could not think of any good solution.
"The strength of the Jin Army is not sufficient. If they want to attack Zhongjing, they will definitely need to concentrate their elite troops. However, the 10,000 Jin Army camped outside the city and have not attacked the city. Therefore, I suspect that the Jin Army camp outside the city has been
It's mostly empty, and most of the Jin army has quietly withdrawn at night!"
Yelu Dashi expressed his doubts again.
"this……"
Xiao Fengxian showed a solemn expression when he heard the words. Then he grabbed the top of the city and looked towards the Jin Army camp outside the city.
I saw the military flags fluttering in the Jin Army camp, and patrol teams of the Jin Army passing by from time to time. It didn't look like an empty camp at all.
"The generals of the Jin Army are well versed in the art of war, and since they have withdrawn the main force, they will definitely create all kinds of doubts so that we can't figure out the reality, so we can't tell anything from their performance!"
Yelu Dashi said again from the side.
"Then what do you mean..."
Xiao Fengxian looked at Yelu Dashi again and asked.
"Take the initiative to go out of the city to attack the Jin army to test the strength of the Jin army!"
Yelu Dashi replied with a firm expression.
"This is too risky. If you guess wrong, the Jin Army outside the city is eager for us to leave the city. By then, King Kong City will probably fall into the hands of the Jin Army!"
Xiao Fengxian shook his head and said.
It's not that he is timid, but it's too risky to leave the city now, and he doesn't want to put the lives of all the soldiers in the city on the gambling table.
"If the prince does not want to take risks, the general is willing to lead an army, and only two thousand people are needed. The Jin army in Nancheng is relatively small. When I fight out from the south gate, I will definitely be able to find out the strength of the Jin army. Even if I bet
Wrong, there will still be 6,000 soldiers guarding the city by then, and it will not affect the overall situation."
Yelu Dashi was very stubborn and immediately asked again.
Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Fengxian also showed hesitation.
After a while, Xiao Fengxian finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since you insist, then I will take a gamble with you!"
Seeing that Xiao Feng agreed first, Yelu Dashi was also overjoyed and thanked him immediately. Then they walked down to the top of the city and ordered two thousand soldiers and horses to stand by.
Xiao Feng first ordered people to kill sheep and cook meat as a farewell ceremony for the two thousand soldiers.
After dinner, the clamoring Jin army outside the city gradually quieted down. The entire King Kong city had already implemented a curfew, and it was also dead silent at this time.
After the third watch, Yelu Dashi led two thousand elite soldiers to the south gate. Xiao Feng first ordered people to open the city gate, and the two thousand elite soldiers quietly reached the outside of the city.
Xiao Fengxian also immediately boarded the South City Gate, scratched the top of the city and stared anxiously at the Jin Army camp outside the city.
Although it was already the middle of the night, the Jin Army camp was still brightly lit, with piles of bonfires connected together.
Xiao Fengxian didn't feel it before, but after listening to Yelu Dashi's analysis, he also felt that something was wrong. After all, it was only midnight. Why did the Jin army light so many bonfires? You must know that the army's consumption of food, rice, and diesel was
It was so big that the soldiers all went to bed at night, so lighting such a bonfire was a waste.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fengxian couldn't help but have some confidence in Yelu Dashi.
"Kill~"
At this moment, a burst of shouts suddenly erupted from the Jin Army camp, followed by shouts of killing. The Jin Army camp quickly ignited a fire, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the Jin Army camp.
of transparency.
Xiao Fengxian in the city used the firelight in the camp. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he felt that the resistance of the Jin army was unexpectedly weak. It seemed that Yelu Dashi and the others hardly encountered any decent enemies in their attack, and it was very easy.
Then he rushed into the Jin Army camp.
Half an hour later, the Jin Army's South Gate Camp was completely engulfed in fire. Immediately afterwards, Yelu Dashi sent someone to report, confirming his previous suspicion that the Jin Army's camp was indeed empty, except for the patrolling soldiers.
Outside, there were no people living in the tents in the camp.
Xiao Fengxian was surprised and happy when he got the news. He immediately organized the troops in the city. Except for leaving a thousand people to defend, the rest split up and fought out from other city gates. The result was the same as the military camp at the south gate.
The camp turned out to be completely empty.
It is estimated that on the second day after the Jin army besieged Jingang City, their main force, Da Lao, evacuated overnight. As for where to go, there is no need to guess. It must be under the Zhongjing City. It’s just that it’s been almost three days. What is over there in Zhongjing?
