Chapter 398: The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind
With the defeat of Tanzhou, the morale of the Yanshan army outside the city rose sharply, and a large number of soldiers rushed into the city. The troops left outside the city, both in terms of quantity and vigilance, were very different from those when Tanzhou was not broken.
This is an inevitable thing. The Yanshan Army's army's troops who stayed outside cannot maintain the high vigilance they had before. You cannot regard people as machines. Even modern elites in later generations will relax and breathe a sigh of relief after victory.
And this is the time when Wanyan Loushi emits a fatal blow.
His son Wanyan Huo's determination is still worse than his father. When he heard the cavalry report that the city of Tanzhou suddenly broke, he couldn't help but feel excited and immediately shouted to send troops.
Wanyan Loushi ignored him. Where are you now? Didn’t Tanzhou be destroyed? It’s not too late to wait for another two quarters of an hour.
Calm and cold-blooded are essential qualities for a mature soldier.
Of course, Lou Shi knew that every extra minute he delayed, the Jin soldiers in Tanzhou would lose one more point, and even the danger of Jin Wushu would be even greater. But the time was not yet, it would be less than not.
Without waiting for more Yan Wang troops to flood into the city, and without waiting for the Yanshan army to win the victory outside the city to become more vigilant, it is not the best time to send troops.
Wanyan Loushi's responsibility is not only to break the Yan King's military camp outside the city, burn those stone cannons, and steal more thunder in the sky, but also to Tanzhou.
In the original plan, after the city was broken, Jin Wushu would lead the remaining soldiers to fight with the Yanshan army that flocked into the city to attract more Yanshan army to enter the city. At the same time, it would also make the Yanshan army more scattered and fragmented. Then Lou Shi led his army to sweep the outside of the city, and finally attacked Jin Wushu on both sides in the city, cooperated inside and outside, and defeated the Yanwang army while also striving to ensure that Tanzhou was not lost.
If such a plan can be achieved, the Yan King's army that fled to Tanzhou would be dead. This would be a victory battle, which would wipe out the bad luck of the Jin army's successive defeats.
Boost the morale of the military and civilians.
Now that Tanzhou has been broken early, the progress is wrong. According to Lou Shi’s expectations, Tanzhou can hold on for another three or two days.
Now it suddenly breaks open, and there must be a reason.
But no matter what happened in Tanzhou City, he had to do the extermination of the Yan King's army outside the city.
Then, of course he will not move now.
If Wanyan Huo's passion was thrown into cold water, Lou Shi didn't even look at him, and then he realized that he was stupid.
As a person who accompanied Wanyan Jurchen from weak to today, Wanyan Loushi is contradictory. He is very cold-blooded but also very kind. He will not feel pain for those who died in battle. Military soldiers are used for attack and sacrifice. If the war is not over, then "sacrifice" will not stop.
So he never thought that death on the battlefield was a big deal.
But because of the scarcity of the Jurchens, Wanyan Loushi was very careful of the casualties of the army, and always hoped to exchange for the greatest results with the smallest sacrifice.
It depends on the opportunity he chooses.
At the most correct time, stabbing the enemy's most deadly vitals and stabbing them desperately. This is Wanyan Loushi.
Wanyan Huo Girl was waiting silently.
The sound from afar was like a small brush constantly brushing his heart, but he knew his father was right.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
A series of arrows hit the Jin soldiers' defense line, and a large number of Yanshan troops rushed over.
They just felt that their morale was so boiling when they were looking for victory.
Even the always-winning troops under Liu Shunren were all so bold and fighting spirit.
They will win this battle.
And a war that will surely win will always make the army's morale burst.
The Jin soldiers in the city didn't know Jin Wushu's plan. Not to mention the morale of ordinary soldiers, even Wanyan Sai was a little confused. The Fourth Prince was not so stupid, why didn't he leave now?
As for Zhang Linghui, he looked like his own uncle, and he was desperate.
Even though they had reached a desperate situation, Jin Wushu had to persevere. This was that they would not give up until they lost all their lives.
The rain of arrows is a way for the Yanshan Army to attack. Because the Jurchens were all huddled in these two blocks outside the south gate of the city, perhaps 1,800 people, or perhaps one or two thousand people. They all huddled here. Even if they were not very motivated, it was not something that the Yanshan Army could easily eat.
As for the other Jin soldiers, the Yanshan army entering the city combined with the Tanzhou soldiers anyway, which was a sharp cutter that cut the resisting Jin soldiers into small pieces and then swallowed them easily.
The only enemy in Tanzhou is left.
Yang Weizhong's brows frowned tightly.
Jin Wushu's choice made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong. No one wanted to seek death by himself, right? There was no Yan King's army blocking the road in the south of the city, so Jin Wushu should have led the defeated soldiers out of the city long ago. But not only did he not leave, he also brought the remaining defeated generals to fight with him. This is absolutely abnormal!
If something goes wrong, it will be a monster!
Yang Weizhong frantically rotated his brain. Where was the wrong thing?
But he burned all his brain cells, and he certainly would not have expected that there would be a Jin army cavalry with tens of thousands of people lurking outside the city.
Thousands of cavalry scattered into a wide attack surface with an attack surface of more than one mile. Their queues were quite wide, and behind them was a dense group of cavalry.
Wanyan Huowoo led his army to rush forward, aiming directly at the camp in the south of Tanzhou City. The Jin Iron Cavalry, who had been lurking in the mountains for many days, had a pair of fast moving wings, and was really fast.
The sound of thunderous hooves treading makes the ground tremble slightly, and the sharp swords, spears and weapons emit a cold light.
"charge……"
"For the sake of Dajin, charge—"
The wild roar of the Jin soldiers came into Zhang Jun's ears under the city of Tanzhou. His face, which was originally full of smiles, turned red due to excitement. The former commander of the camp was already trembling with anger. Where did the Jin cavalry who should be in front of him come from?
"Calm down, calm down!"
The cavalry is very scary, especially when launching an attack on a group of lazy infantry, even if those infantry have a good camp. God knows how hard Zhang Jun feels now. But no matter how hard he is, he must be sure, right?
Not only do we have to be honest, but we also need to immediately go to reinforce the camp.
The 20,000 Yanshan troops rushed to Tanzhou from Yanjing, and there were three sieges and one siege. No matter how few Yanshan troops were from the east and west, they were divided into five thousand people.
Now there are as many as seven or eight thousand people who have entered Tanzhou by the south gate of the city. Among the remaining people, two or three thousand people who have been killed or injured in the past few days, and the three or four thousand people who have been following him at this moment, there are actually only a thousand soldiers left in the huge southern camp.
When Yang Weizhong, who was in the city, learned that the military camp outside the city was raided by the Jin cavalry, the blue veins on his forehead were about to explode.
"Damn it, damn it-"
He no longer considered how this Jin cavalry emerged. The most important thing was to deal with the situation in Tanzhou next.
"Master-in-law, don't be impulsive. The current plan is to ensure that Tanzhou is not in trouble." Liu Shunren hurriedly advised Yang Weizhong.
He was also surprised. Where did so many Jin army cavalry come from?
