The Pingding Army is on the west side of Taihang Mountain, just across Jingxing from Zhending Mansion.
At this time, the city of Pingding Army was still in the hands of the Song army, but there were Jin soldiers surrounding the city outside the city.
The morale of the defenders in the city was low, and the reason why they could still hold on was purely because they still held on to the hope that reinforcements would come. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Yue Fei, who is a partial school student, stood at the top of the city and carefully observed the Jinbing camp outside the city.
"elder brother."
Wang Gui and other brother Tang Yin came over and said, "I come here to see it every day. There is something very interesting to see."
"Look at the gold man's flaws." Yue Fei is not short and has an extremely strong body. Especially his arms are muscular and his finger joints are thick and powerful. At first glance, he looks like he has been practicing martial arts all year round.
"What a golden man?" Zhang Xian said with disdain, "It's just a dog raised by a golden man."
The reason why he said this was because those who surrounded the Pingding Army at this time were not the real Jin soldiers, but the remnants of the Liao Kingdom who surrendered to the Jin people, that is, the Khitan people.
"Not to be taken lightly."
Yue Fei finally withdrew his gaze, "The Khitans are not bad, at least not worse than us. In the fourth year of Xuanhe, we all forgot about the time when we conquered Yanyun for brave warriors?"
When talking about this matter, Wang Gui and others were all silent.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops went on the Northern Expedition to attack the Liao Kingdom, which had been driven to the brink of subjugation by the Jin people, but they suffered a humiliating defeat.
Since then, the fragility under the prosperity of the Song Dynasty has been completely lifted.
Seeing that his brothers were a little depressed, Yue Fei forced a smile, "The Khitans are indeed inferior to the Jin people. Their camp layout has weaknesses. When the reinforcements arrive, we will rush out from the city to respond..."
Zhang Xian couldn't help but said, "Will reinforcements really come?"
This time even Yue Fei was silent.
I don't know how long it took, but he smiled bitterly and looked at the vast Taihang Mountains. "It should be coming."
More than a hundred miles away at Niangzi Pass, a group of elite Song troops were struggling to move forward between steep cliffs.
"My lord, be careful!"
Niu Gao was agile and caught Li Yunze who was in the air.
"Nothing!" Li Yunze, who had stabilized his body, shouted in a low voice, "Don't disturb the gold thieves in the pass."
"Your Majesty." Niu Gao said cautiously, "It's better to go back. I'll just take someone to get through the customs."
"Quit? You still like it." Li Yunze knelt down and tied his shoelaces. "Don't talk nonsense. I sent troops secretly this time. I didn't show any good results. How can I still have the dignity to be a good person?"
He had previously persuaded Zhong Shizhong and was allowed to go to pacify the Ding army together.
But the Zhong Division arranged him and Shengjie Army at the end of the team to protect the baggage.
Li Yunze couldn't bear this, so he simply sent out troops in advance, leading the Shengjie army to rush into Jingxing, pulling out many stockades along the way, until they arrived at Niangzi Pass.
Unlike the previous villages, Niangzi Pass is not easy to fight.
Not only are there thousands of defenders inside the pass, but the pass across the pass is very dangerous. One man can block the pass and ten thousand men can't open it.
A frontal attack is also possible, but it takes time.
Li Yunze did not want to waste time and simply chose to lead the elite in person on the winding Yanzhao Ancient Road, passing through Chengtian Village and Laojun Cave, taking a detour to steal the city.
Han Shizhong carried the main force of the Victory Army in front of the pass to attract the attention of the defenders.
The defenders knew that 100,000 Song troops were coming from Zhending Mansion, so they had no intention of holding on and were prepared to resist for a while before retreating to quell the Ding army.
Therefore, there were not many soldiers and sentries deployed on the mountain.
Li Yunze, who was holding a life detector and a high-power telescope, was able to accurately find the sentinels placed by the defenders on the mountain, and then touched them and cleared them one by one.
When it was almost dark, Li Yunze, with two hundred elite troops, finally arrived behind Niangzi Pass.
At this time, a team of carriages was slowly leaving the pass, transporting the baggage inside the pass back to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Song army.
Ignoring Niu Gao's sincere and anxious eyes, Li Yunze pulled down his lower armor, pulled out his sword and rushed out.
Niu Gao really didn't expect the prince to be so brave. At this time, he didn't have time to think about anything, so he could only rush forward with his men to protect Li Yunze.
The main force of the defenders is on the east side of the city. There are no defenders here at all. As for the convoys transporting military supplies, they are all accompanied by soldiers and civilians.
Without any surprise, the city gate was quickly captured.
"Charge forward!" Li Yunze, wielding a chopper, stood in the city gate and roared, "Don't worry about anything, set fire and charge forward to open the city gate!"
The two hundred elites threw torches, slashed and caused chaos, and headed straight for the opposite city gate.
There are only two east and west gates in the entire Niangzi Pass. Outside the east gate are the main troops led by Han Shizhong.
Seeing the fire in the pass, Han Shizhong did not hesitate to send his troops to attack and contain it.
The defenders did not expect that someone would break into the pass. After the resistance under the east gate was destroyed, they immediately collapsed.
As the gate of the pass was opened, Han Shizhong personally led thousands of cavalry into the pass.
"Your Majesty!"
After entering the city, Han Shizhong's first priority was to find Li Yunze.
Seeing that Li Yunze was fine, he was relieved.
"Do your own thing." Li Yunze, standing with a knife and pestle, waved his hand, "You can't let go of anyone who reported the news."
"Take orders!"
With a general of Han Shizhong's level leading the troops, Li Yunze naturally didn't have to worry about what happened next.
He walked to the top of the city and looked around at the terrain, and then got a map from Niu Gao for reference.
When Han Shizhong, who had cleaned up the garrison in the pass, came over, Li Yunze immediately asked, "Can we fight again?"
After being stunned for a moment, Han Shizhong immediately responded, "Yes!"
"Take all the cavalry away." Li Yunze pointed at the Chengtian Army Stronghold on the map. "Take the defender's flag, armor, and weapons, and pretend to be the defender to attack this stronghold."
Han Shizhong led thousands of cavalry to attack the Chengtian Army stronghold at night, and the defenders were breached without the slightest notice.
At noon the next day, Li Yunze drove over with his follow-up troops.
"They are all Khitan dogs." Han Shizhong proudly asked for a fight, "Your Majesty, let the general lead the cavalry to attack Baijing Village again."
Baijingzhai is only thirty miles away from the Pingding Army. If there is no summons, there is indeed a high chance of success in another sneak attack.
Li Yunze, who was walking into the camp, paused and looked at him, "What is the purpose of our rapid march?"
"Rescue the Pingding Army."
"If you want to rescue the Pingding Army, you must defeat the Jin soldiers who are besieging the city. I have already interrogated the prisoners. The people besieging the Pingding Army are the five troops of Yeluma. This is a ten thousand household. Even the Khitan people are not so easy to defeat. ." Li Yunze sighed, "We have to concentrate our efforts to defeat them. Simply relying on sneak attacks is of little use."
"yes."
The army could not enter the stronghold. They just repaired it and continued on their way.
In the evening, the messenger sent by the planting master finally caught up with him on a fast horse.
Faced with the request from the seed master to stop and wait for the main force, Li Yunze only asked the messenger to reply to him with one sentence: "Follow up quickly."
On the afternoon of the third day, Li Yunze finally arrived at Baijing Village with the main force of Shengjie Army.
"Good minister." Li Yunze, who was sitting on the horse, called to Han Shizhong, "Go and capture this stronghold and spend the night in the stronghold."
"Take orders!"
As a famous general who is as famous as Yue Fei and also known as Han Yue, pursuing Wei Huo at the top and Xu Chang at the bottom, there is no doubt about Han Shizhong's ability.
He has been in the army for many years and has extremely rich experience. It can be said that he is already a formed commander.
His only shortcoming now is that he has too few troops under his command.
Li Yunze did not delegate power as much as possible and gave him command of the Shengjie Army. Naturally, Han Shizhong was extremely excited.
This is an extremely routine siege battle.
Bows and crossbows were suppressed, swords and shields were forwarded, and cavalry were on the flanks, ready to receive counterattacks.
This battle was fought fairly well, relying on constant pressure to defeat the defenders and capture Baijing Village.
It seems to be quite satisfactory, but at this time, there are not many people in the Song Dynasty who can fight against the Jin Army.
They spent the night in the stronghold that night, and Yelu Mawu, who was besieging the Pingding Army, finally learned that the Song Army's reinforcements had arrived, and they arrived so quickly that they were completely beyond imagination.
He mobilized troops and horses overnight and sent envoys to Nianhan for help.
The movement of the Jin army also made the defenders in the city notice something strange. After a little guessing, they knew that reinforcements were coming.
The morale in the city suddenly rose.
The next morning, the defenders saw a large number of reinforcements on the city wall, driving over along the Mianman River.
Li Yunze paid no attention to the harassing soldiers and horses, and did not pay attention to the scattered villages. The entire army attacked and went straight to the main camp of Yelu Mawu outside the Pingding Army City.
Yelu Mawu, who did not get the order to withdraw his troops from Nianhan, could only bite the bullet and come to fight.
Although Yelu Mawu has ten thousand households, he is still a surrendered army, and even his subordinates Meng An and Mou Ke are dissatisfied with the number.
Moreover, they had to divide their troops to garrison the passes of the entire Pingding Army. The Song Army came too quickly and could not be fully assembled at this time.
The number of soldiers and horses that can be used now is only five to six thousand.
The victorious army marched along the Mianman River, which largely offset Yelv Mawu's cavalry attack.
After the two sides fought, arrows flew and the sound of killing was loud.
"This Song army...is extraordinary." Yelu Mawu, who was watching the battle, frowned more and more.
He was used to seeing the Song army collapse at the first touch, but now faced with the Song army that refused to retreat even when faced with a cavalry group charge, this made his heart ring with alarm bells.
The Song Army was actually similar to the Ming Army, with both sides recruiting troops. Under normal circumstances, as long as the salary is sufficient, the combat effectiveness will not be bad.
The Shengjie army relied on bows and crossbows to hold their positions, and the swordsmen, shield bearers and spearmen continued to press forward, forcefully forcing the Jin soldiers to retreat continuously, almost returning to the main camp.
At this time, the Pingding Army, which had been calm before, suddenly opened the city gate, and a group of cavalry rushed out first, followed by a large number of defenders swarming out.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Mawu lamented, turned his horse's head and retreated with his troops.
He had already used his troops to the extreme, and now he was stabbed in the back and could no longer hold it back.
This is what Li Yunze has been waiting for.
When Yelu Mawu organized a whole fierce cavalry to charge into the battle, he did not let Han Shizhong out.
The purpose is to wait for it to retreat and take advantage of the situation to pursue and expand the results.
The Jin soldiers are mainly cavalry. If defeated, they can rely on the mobility of the cavalry to escape. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to suffer large-scale losses.
Li Yunze did not move Han Shizhong's cavalry in order to kill a lot of people during the pursuit.
Han Shizhong led thousands of Song army cavalry to Pinggang, but Li Yunze went directly into Yelu Mawu's main camp.
Encountering the Pingding Army defenders who were searching for loot, he directly asked, "Who led the team out of the city to attack the camp before?"
Over there, Yue Fei hurriedly rode over and saluted, "Yue Fei, the commander of the Pingding Army, has met the general."
