Three thousand red hat tassels surged behind Yao Pingzhong.
Under the hats, there are three thousand tiger and horse cavalry with high ambitions and high morale. Surrounded by Yao Pingzhong, the young Taiwei of Yao with a bright future, they set off a northward whirlwind on the open official road on the bank of the Yellow River.
Behind this whirlwind were 100,000 elite soldiers led by Zhao Kai, who marched both by land and water. In front of this whirlwind of cavalry was a blazing flame burning on top of Damingfu City.
This flame shows that the surprise attack on the daimyo commanded by Yue Fei, Guo Tiannu, Dong Jingang and others has not yet failed... at least there is still one city gate tower under the control of Yue Fei and others!
As long as the 3,000 tiger warriors led by Yao Pingzhong enter Damingfu City, then this surprise attack will be considered a complete success.
The 3,000 cavalry led by Yao Pingzhong were elites selected from the 120,000 troops under Zhao Kai. All of them were all-around masters of dismounting and dismounting. As long as you enter Damingfu City, guarding the gate tower is not like playing?
However, Yao Pingzhong was still worried all the way... There were two main problems that worried him. The first was, of course, that Yue Fei and the others could not insist on the arrival of reinforcements!
Because the area around Daming Mansion was washed away by the Yellow River, there were no large forests to cover the cavalry march. If Yao Pingzhong's 3,000 cavalry followed Yue Fei closely, Jin Bing would have been able to see it standing at the top of Damingfu City! When the time comes, once the gate is closed and the suspension bridge is pulled up, how can this be a surprise attack?
Therefore, he could only stay far away so as not to delay the surprise attack by Yue Fei and others.
But if you are far away, it will be inconvenient to support...
The second thing that worried Yao Pingzhong very much was that he was attacked by the enemy while marching at night!
In order to march quickly at night, and at the same time to cheer up Yue Fei and others who were fighting hard at Damingfu City, Yao Pingzhong took the risk and asked the cavalry below to use torches and divided them into several groups. Suddenly, they came out with the momentum of 20,000 cavalry advancing... ....It would be ideal if it could scare away the gold thieves.
But this kind of upright behavior of walking at night can easily be beaten by the ambush of the Jin soldiers!
Although the 3,000 cavalry led by Yao Pingzhong had all practiced Jin Wushu as sparring partners between Xiaowu and Puyang City, they had long since grown into elites who were not afraid of gold thieves.
But as the commander-in-chief, Yao Pingzhong is still very worried...
Fortunately, the march this night was uneventful. Although we encountered a few groups of gold thieves who were lying in wait to block the way, their numbers were small and their combat effectiveness was not particularly strong (it’s not that the gold thieves were not strong, but that these Song Army cavalry were became stronger), so they all asked Tiger General Wang De and others to clean up.
Now, Yao Pingzhong can already see (viewed with a telescope) the recognition flags of "Yue Wudi" and "Gao Jingang" flying high on the Guanyin Gate and Wei County Gate! And I heard the cheers of the defenders at the two city gates!
This shows that Guanyin Gate and Wei County Gate are still under the control of Yue Fei and Guo Tiannu!
The surprise attack... is about to be a complete success!
"Little Lieutenant, it's time to stop and take a breath!"
Just when Yao Pingzhong was thinking about rushing into Damingfu City quickly, Wang De, who was with him, suddenly flew to his side and reminded loudly: "I will definitely charge into the formation later... I must save some energy." horsepower."
Wang De is right, he must rush into battle!
Because the 3,000 cavalry led by Yao Pingzhong still need to pass through the narrow area between the southwest corner of Daming Palace and the Yellow River Dam before they can enter Guanyin Gate.
Since the Yellow River has repeatedly changed its course in Damingfu, the terrain around Damingfu has now changed from a flat plain to a dangerous place surrounded by rivers.
The east side of Daming City is next to the old Yellow River course established by Xining two years ago. Although it is an old course, when the Yellow River is full of water, part of the river water will still flow through this river course that is higher than the ground. Therefore, the river is still there, and it is still close to the east of Damingfu City, forming a natural trench... Therefore, it is unrealistic to attack from the east of Damingfu City.
The north of Damingfu City is also not easy to fight. Although there is no Yellow River, there is a Zhangshui (Yongji Canal) passing through the city from the northwest corner of Damingfu City, and then "enveloping" the north of Damingfu City. Therefore, it is not easy to attack Daming Mansion from the north of the city.
The south of Daming Mansion is a flat river, very open, with only the Nanzhuan River, which is not very wide, flowing slowly through it. But it is precisely for this reason that it has become the focus of Jinbing's defense!
The Gujiao Gate, Nanhe Gate, and Nanzhuan Gate in the south of the city have been tightly closed, and the long bridge beyond the three gates has also been demolished, making it impossible for a surprise attack.
Therefore, the relatively weak defense area of Damingfu City is the west part of the city.
Although the course of the Yellow River two years after Xining was more than ten miles west of Damingfu City... after all, there were still more than ten miles to deploy troops!
In addition, because the north-flowing Yellow River also has certain navigability, and the Yongji Canal passes through the northwest corner of Damingfu City, it is also connected to the moat in the west of Damingfu City. Therefore, the Guanyin Gate and Wei County Gate in the west of Damingfu City became the trade routes of Damingfu City... which also created conditions for surprise attacks!
But if the reinforcements led by Yao Pingzhong want to enter Guanyin Gate, they must rush through the passage between the southwest corner of Damingfu City and the Yellow River Dam!
It’s not easy to rush over!
Because there is a long bridge on the moat at the southwest corner of Damingfu City... This means that the Jin cavalry may rush out from behind the horse-breeding wall in the southwest corner of Damingfu City!
...
"Fifth uncle, why are all the Southern cavalry dismounted? Don't they plan to support the Southern troops at Guanyin Gate and Wei County Gate?"
On the tower of Gujiaomen in the south of Daming Mansion, Wanyan Yan, who had already put on a somewhat tight chainmail suit and hung a scimitar on her belt, was standing next to Wanyan Xieye with her chest puffed out, following Asking questions like a curious baby.
Wanyan Xie also smiled coldly: "Of course you need to recharge your horse when you dismount... They have been galloping all night, and their horse power has weakened. How can they fight Ahuli's cavalry without taking a breath?"
Wanyan Yan asked curiously: "Fifth uncle, do they already know that the cavalry led by brother Ahuli is ambushing behind the low wall?"
Wanyan Xie also smiled and said: "How could you not know? You should have guessed it!"
As he spoke, Wan Yanxie raised his hand and waved. A soldier holding the flag next to him immediately raised a red flag and waved it vigorously several times.
As the red flag waved, reinforcements suddenly appeared from behind the sheep and horse wall in the southwest corner of Damingfu City, many iron pagoda cavalry wearing shining iron armor appeared!
These are the elite men in charge of Meng'an under Wanyan Xieye. They have been led by Xieye's son Ahuli since last night. They are ambushing behind the sheep and horse wall, waiting for reinforcements from the Song Army to arrive!
"Little Lieutenant, this is the Iron Buddha Tu!"
Wang De, who was dismounting and resting, had been craning his neck to look towards the southwest corner of Daming Mansion, so he saw the iron pagodas as soon as they appeared.
Yao Pingzhong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, drinking from a gourd and chewing pancakes, heard Wang De's words and quickly stood up, then threw away the remaining pancakes, put away the wine gourd, and took out a Qianli The mirror looked in the direction of Wang De's finger.
"It's indeed the Iron Buddha...and some kidnapping horses!"
There were not many people in Iron Buddha, about 1,500, and then many Kaizi horse light cavalry appeared, the number was no less than 3,000!
Wang De looked back at Yao Pingzhong, with a worried expression on his face, "Shall we rush south?"
"Try it!"
Yao Pingzhong still looked confident and said with a smile: "Lead half of the Sa family to charge first. If that doesn't work, retreat to the Yellow River embankment... try to lure the Jin soldiers away. Someone will take care of them when they get there!"
You lead the remaining troops and charge again! As long as one of our two armies enters the city, it will be considered complete! "
Wang De smiled and said: "Well, be careful, little lieutenant!"
Yao Pingzhong looked back at his BMW... This is an extremely powerful Qinghai Cong! Moreover, Yao Pingzhong also had another walking horse, which he rode during the march. This Qinghai Cong is a war horse, meant to be ridden in battle. Therefore, even if Yao Pingzhong cannot defeat the gold thief, there is no problem in running away.
In addition, Yao Pingzhong also has a Qingtang War Armor... This kind of cold-forged armor is much stronger than the standard hot-forged armor of the Song Army that contains excessive sulfur and phosphorus. Not only is it stronger, it's also lighter. Wearing it while riding on the road in Qinghai would be as fast as the wind!
In the original history, Yao Pingzhong relied on these two treasures to run all the way from the front line of Kaifeng Prefecture to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan to cultivate immortality...
Putting on the bright Hao Zi armor and riding on the long-legged Qinghai Cong, the young Taiwei Yao Pingzhong took the lead and headed towards Wanyan Ahuli, carrying a horse specially designed for military generals from aristocratic families.
Oh, by the way, hanging on his belt is a Xixia sword that is as sharp as clay, a top-quality buffalo horn bow, a bag of Sanbuqi arrows, and a global limited edition crystal telescope. !
Just this horse and this equipment, I can't get it without 10,000 swords! And he didn't cover up, not even wearing embroidered clothes, he just went into battle wearing sparkling war armor... This guy didn't come to kill people at all, but to show off his wealth!
Wanyan Ahuli also rode a high-quality Jurchen horse, but it was far behind the long-legged Qinghai Cong of Persian breed, so he became envious when he saw Yao Pingzhong's "long-legged horse" from a distance. Got on... Then he recognized the shining armor Yao Pingzhong was wearing, it was the famous Qingtang Haozijia!
This kind of war armor was also given to the emperor of Liao as a tribute, so Jin soldiers could occasionally get it on the battlefield. There are "Da Wan Yan" such as Wu Qimai, Xie Ye and Nian Han. But Ahuli is not qualified!
When he thought of how majestic he would look like wearing the armor and riding a long-legged horse, Ah Huli couldn't help but get excited!
Moreover, his cutest cousin, Senior Sister (Wan Yanyan), is watching from the tower of Gujiaomen! If you had seen with your own eyes his majesty of killing people and seizing treasures, maybe you would recommend yourself to the pillow... This girl is still a young girl!
Thinking of this, Ahuli yelled, "Tiefu Tu, come with me!" Then he galloped towards Yao Pingzhong, who was showing off his wealth on the battlefield!
