When Yue Fei changed the bombardment plan and gave up destroying the city wall, he instead let all the hotpot cannons and casserole cannons fire arson bombs to hit the city head and targets inside the city. Wanyan Wu Qimai had already returned to his palace in disgrace under the protection of his son Wanyan Zongpan.
When the father and son returned, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Xiebao, Wanyan Salihe, Hebule, Balidan, Kong Yanzhou, Liu Lin, Xiao Zhonggong and others were already there.
Most of them were just squinting in the military camps in the north and south cities of Wu La Hai City... Wu La Hai City is now very crowded, and the places where troops can be garrisoned are full of soldiers who are preparing to attack tonight. army. Because the attack was about to take place tonight, these generals who led the troops gathered together with the soldiers below, waiting for the order to attack.
As a result, the order was not received, but the news that the west side of the main city of Wu Lahai was "blamed" was in chaos!
So everyone ran to the palace, wanting to ask Wu Qibuye, should they attack immediately? Or should we continue to "take the blame"?
But when everyone rushed to the palace, they found that Emperor Wu Qimai was not there. After further inquiry, I found out that Wu Qimai and Zong Pan had gone to the wall of Xicheng to observe the enemy... He has not come back yet, and I don't know if he died?
Now everyone is panicking... The war is about to start. If Wu Qimai, the emperor who drives the army personally, lets Yue Fei "stew in a pot", then this war will be in vain!
Among all the people, the one who was most panicked was Wanyan Xiebao, who had been beaten once before by Yue Fei with a "blame gun".
When the father and son Wu Qimai and Zong Pan came back in disgrace, they could hear the crow's mouth shouting from a distance: "It's over, it's over... If the emperor collapses in front of the battle, how can we continue this battle?" ? The battle of Black Mountain is going to be lost, what will the Kingdom of Jin do?"
When Wu Qimai heard Xie Bao's words, he became so angry! Can't this guy say something nice? Why do you curse the Kingdom of Jin and yourself with just one mouth?
Just when he was getting angry, he suddenly heard someone crying loudly: "Oh, oh, father, father...you are back, Wuli sister is so anxious!"
Wanyan Zonggou is here too! He had been in the main hall of the palace because Wanyan Wu Qimai was in a hurry to observe the lineup of Yue Fei's army and forgot to tell him to leave. And he is a filial son, and he dare not leave without his father's words. So he has been sitting there until now, and no one came to feed him a bite when it was time to eat, or even give him saliva to drink, and there were waves of tingling pain in his crotch... It was really too much What a pity!
Just when he was hungry, thirsty and in pain, he saw a wild father, Wanyan Wu, who seemed to have crawled out of the loess, begging for money, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
As soon as he cried, the people in the main hall discovered that Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongpan had crawled out of the soil together... because when the wall of the west gate was blown down, one of them was there. In the gate opening of the west gate, a man had just entered the city gate. So it was "washed" by the dust raised when the rammed earth door wall collapsed. Now it looks like it is covered in mud, as if it had just crawled out of the earth!
Is this... a corpse fraud?
The Jurchens, Mongols, and Khitans present were all superstitious. When they saw Wanyan Wu begging for money and Wanyan Zongpan, they all regarded them as "big rice dumplings." They were all a little confused for a while, and no one said anything. People went to meet the "Zongzi Emperor".
Wanyan Zonggou was still the most submissive, sitting there and shouting: "My son, Wulimei, respectfully welcomes my father..."
For Wanyan Zonggou, even if his father-in-law became a "Zongzi", he was also a "Zongzi father", and he still had to be filial to him.
After Wanyan Zonggou shouted, other people in the hall realized and saluted Wanyan Wu Qimai one after another - regardless of whether Wu Qimai was a swindler or not, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers was still required.
Although Wu Qimai was annoyed, he couldn't fall out with his subordinates now that he was facing a powerful enemy... He could only pinch his nose and nod to everyone, then strode to his throne, and sat upright. alright.
At this time, everyone realized that Wu Qimai was just "covered in dust" and not "turned into a rice dumpling", and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, the "thunder" sound outside suddenly became denser, with huge roars coming one after another. After the roar, there was a "boom boom" sound made by heavy objects hitting the ground... Listen It’s so scary!
Everyone looked at Wu Qimai, waiting for him to make an idea.
Wu Qimai gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just defend Wu Lahaicheng and get beaten... It's not enough to just get beaten without fighting back!"
"Yes!" Wanyan Xiebao responded, "We might as well withdraw our troops...and then divide the troops into two groups. The main force will retreat to the Tiande Army. At the same time, 30,000 elite cavalry will be sent to sweep away the Baishan Mountains north of Heishan and Yinshan. The Tatar tribe and search for Yelu Dashi's headquarters. As long as we repel Yelu Dashi and try to figure out the secret method of Datu, we can still maintain the power of three points of the world."
Wu Qimai glared at the crow's mouth. Of course he understood what Xie Bao was thinking?
Wanyan Xianbao wants to run away!
Why send 30,000 troops to sweep the Heishan and the north of Yinshan... Yelu Dashi is so cunning. How could he fight with 30,000 golden soldiers? I will definitely avoid Mobei. The territory south of Montenegro has been seized by the Song army. Without the support of the fertile grasslands south of Montenegro, Dajin's 30,000 cavalry cannot stay in the north of the mountain for a long time. The traffic will be smooth!
As for finding out the secret method of big tubes... If you don't grab a few big tubes from the battlefield and come back to study them, how else can you find out?
"We haven't fought well yet, so we are about to withdraw our troops?" Wu Qimai's tone darkened, "Lou Shi, you are my number one general in Dajin, do you think we can still fight now?"
Wanyan Lou's brows were furrowed, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. When he heard Wu Qimai's question, he took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, we still have a lot of people...even if we don't count those who are on guard around us. The soldiers and horses, not counting the party members who have not yet arrived, there are nearly 80,000 people in Wu Lahai City alone, and the Song army can only reach 40,000 at most."
"Yes!" Wanyan Wu begged, "Eighty thousand against forty thousand, we will win! Lou Shi, tell me how we want to fight!"
Wanyan Loushi said: "Then...leave the city first, surround Yue Fei's people, and then attack their camp after dark."
Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at the other people in the hall. Including Wanyan Xiebao, no one raised any objections - no matter what, it was always right to leave the city first!
"Okay!" Wu Qimai nodded, then glanced at Wanyan Xiebao coldly, "Let's leave the city...but Wu Lahai City cannot be left without someone to guard it! Xiebao, Zonggou, you two Just lead your troops to defend the city!"
Defend the city? It sounds very dangerous!
Wanyan Xiebao and Wanyan Zonggou, the "wild uncle and nephew" who were almost the same age, looked at each other and had no choice but to accept this unfortunate task of defending the city...
...
"Lieutenant, Taiwei, Jin Bing's army has left the city!"
"Haha, want to run? It's too late!"
Still in the observation post just 200 steps away from the west city of Wu Lahai City, Yue Fei, who was watching the bombardment, heard Li Qiong report that the Jin soldiers had left the city, and thought that the Jin soldiers were going to run away!
He laughed loudly and said to Li Shifu beside him: "Consort, it's your Yulin cavalry's turn to chase the enemy!"
Li Shifu also looked cheerful and smiled: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, it's all taken care of by our Yulin cavalry!"
Hearing the conversation between the two people, Li Qiong was really dumbfounded. This is a stupid battle! The general on his side still doesn't know how many enemies there are... He can actually win this battle!
"Liu Lieutenant, now is not the time to pursue!" Li Qiong shouted loudly, "There are many golden thieves coming out of the north gate, east gate, and south gate of Wu Lahai City. They are huge and mighty, at least 70,000 to 80,000 men. ..."
"What? Seventy or eighty thousand?"
"Why are there so many? How can we hunt them down?"
Yue Fei and Li Shifu were both stunned, and Li Shifu looked disappointed... Yue Fei hit him too hard last time, and the gold thief ran very fast! There are too many gold thieves this time, so it’s not easy to chase them down! The cavalry in the hands of Yue Fei, Li Shifu, and Wu Jie is only seven generals, with only thirteen to four thousand cavalry. How can they pursue an enemy five times their number?
Li Qiong shouted: "Captain, Prince Consort Li... the golden thieves have no intention of escaping! After they left the city, they came to us!"
Yue Fei stared, "What? The gold thief still dares to come?"
Li Shifu snorted: "Are they here to die?"
With the "blame scapegoat", the tone of speaking is completely different!
I only have more than 30,000 people at hand, but I dare to say that 70,000 to 80,000 people are here to die!
"Lieutenant, Prince Consort Li," Li Qiong said, "It's almost dark now... The golden thief is probably going to fight at night! Once it gets dark, our cannons won't be able to function well."
"Night fight?" Yue Fei raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost dark. In fact, it's not that you can't use artillery at night, it's just that it's inconvenient to use - if the cannon wants to exert its power, it can't be fixed in one place and wait for the enemy to hit its head. It must move at any time according to changes in the enemy's situation.
However, at night, it is difficult for commanders to clearly see the enemy's movements, and naturally it is difficult for the artillery to take action immediately.
In addition, the Song Army's small frying pots all used open flames to light the fuses. It was nothing during the day, and the light from the fire was nothing. But at night, the dots of stars can easily expose your target and attract arrows from your opponent.
Therefore, fighting at night will indeed limit the power of the Song army's firearms.
However, the 36,000 Song troops in the hands of Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Li Shifu were all elite, and they had strong strongholds to rely on, so they were not afraid of Jin soldiers' night attacks.
Moreover, the Jin soldiers left the city too early (they could not stay in the city any longer) and had exposed their intentions, allowing Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Li Shifu to prepare, so of course this battle would be fought.
Yue Fei thought for a moment and then laughed confidently: "All the clay pot cannons stopped shooting and retreated to the camp... The hot pot cannons continued to fire to attract the attention of the gold thief!"
