But he said that of the two Muke, one was called Wanyan Zongxiong and the other was Brother Tudanding.
Wanyan Zongxiong was the grandson of Keribao, the son of Wu Yashu, and the nephew of Aguda. He was a member of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. He was thirty-five or six years old, and he was a rare person among the Jurchens with both civil and military skills.
What is rare is that this man has a very tolerant character. He once went hunting with Aguda and was accidentally hit by a target, but he endured the pain without saying a word and kept his expression unchanged, just because he was worried that Aguda would find out that he was injured and get angry at the person who accidentally shot him. Then he pretended to be sick and went home to recover for two months. Aguda never knew about this, which shows his temperament.
Brother Tudan Ding is also a Jurchen noble. The Tudan family has been married to the Wanyan family for generations. This brother Tudan Ding is handsome and brave. He is highly regarded by Aguda and is chosen as the son-in-law of his eldest daughter. When he returns from the war, he will marry Aguda married his eldest daughter Wanyan Wulu.
Cao Cao was also familiar with these two people and knew that they were the most elegant and humble among the Jurchen warriors. Why did Wanyan Lou's family keep only the two of them? It is because they know that except for the two of them, the other conspirators and warriors will never obey the commander-in-chief of a Song Dynasty.
Cao Cao himself was the best at employing people, so he naturally knew what Lou Shi was thinking, and immediately made his attitude clear: You obey the order, and I will defeat the incoming enemy.
Zong Xiong and Brother Ding looked at each other, neither of them expected that this normally smiling old Cao could be so domineering. Zong Xiong took the lead and patted his chest: "Since Meng An asked you to lead the army, we must obey your orders!" Brother Ding also nodded heavily.
Cao Cao smiled and turned around to send an order: "Brother Shi Qian, go to the west to see how many soldiers and horses the Xi tribe has come, and report back quickly."
Shi Qian agreed loudly and rode away.
He was of a thin build and rode a strong horse. The horse carried him as if it were nothing, so he ran very fast.
In less than a stick of incense, Shi Qian returned on horseback: "Brother, the enemy has about eight thousand cavalry, three miles behind, and no less than twenty thousand infantry. They are rolling in. Look where they are heading, but they are going to fight Yi. state."
When Zong Xiong and Brother Ding heard this, their expressions changed - their scouting horses did not find a large number of infantry behind the cavalry.
Cao Cao laughed loudly, and Brother Ding said in surprise: "Why are you laughing? Do you think you don't have enough enemies?"
Cao Cao smiled broadly, pointed to the west and said: "I laugh at Xiao Qianruo's reputation, he turns out to be a coward! Haha, we have less than eight thousand troops, half of which are surrendered by the Han family and his son. He lured the enemy with his resentful troops. , if you lead a surprise attack with eight thousand fine cavalry, you may not have no chance of victory! But you are afraid of the Jin Kingdom's combat power and dare not go all out in the field. Instead, you have to go to seize the city first and bring 20,000 infantry. Haha, don't you hear this? Why do soldiers need speed? Now that the infantry has slowed down the cavalry, it has ruined its martial arts!"
When the two Muke heard this, they both grinned widely. Tudan Dingge said proudly: "The courage of the Khitan people is already mediocre. The Xi people are Khitan-based, so naturally they are even worse."
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "You Jurchens also used to serve the Khitans as their masters. Why should the second brother laugh at the elder brother - brother Guanzhong? If he asks me what I said, just tell me that they Jurchens are invincible!"
As expected, Brother Ding asked: "What did he say?" Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "He said that you Jurchens are invincible!" Brother Ding was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Tong's sincere smile, and patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder: "Good brother, your eyesight is quite good. not bad."
Han Chang looked amused and winked at Zhou Tong: "Please invite me to drink your wine later, and I won't expose you."
Zhou Tong looked serious: "Why are you anxious about drinking? The top priority is how to defeat the rat Xiao Qian!"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "What Zhou Tong said is true! Although Xiao Qian is a rat, the 30,000 Xi army is not a decoration after all! The Lou family has entrusted the Jurchen warriors to my hands, and I can't let him down after all - Guan Zhong, please let me finish." Yan Zongxiong sent some of his close followers to Yizhou and ordered his wailing man, Jun Jun, to lead 300 people from his headquarters to go out of the city to attack Xiao Qian."
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongxiong exclaimed in shock: "Weeping Langjun was ordered to guard Yizhou, why did he leave the city wall alone and let him send troops to fight in the field?"
Cao Cao said sternly: "If ordinary soldiers and horses have a city to defend, they will naturally be far better than fighting in the field. However, you Jurchens can always put one against ten. It would be a waste to put them on the city wall! What's more, Xiao Qian has such a plan, why should we follow him? Step by step? He wanted to attack the city, but I wanted to fight in the field. He didn't expect the Crying Master to dare to fight, so he would definitely send out cavalry, thinking that it would be a thunderous strike. We would attack from behind, drive his infantry forward, and rush into the chaos. His cavalry can win this battle without waiting for Lou Shi to counterattack."
Wanyan Zongxiong frowned and thought for a moment, then understood in his heart, nodded repeatedly and said: "Sure enough! In this case, I will immediately send someone to call Mr. Crying Lang to fight."
Who is this Crying Man? The Kingdom of Jin seeks to defeat Wan Yan and he drinks! This man was the adopted son of Wanyan Aguda's father. Aguda regarded him as his younger brother and treated him very well. This man is brave, good at fighting, and quite talented, but he has the shallowest eye sockets. He often cries loudly when he encounters setbacks, so the Jurchens call him the "Crying Man".
When Cao Cao and others first arrived, there were many provocateurs among the generals in the army, and Sa Lihe was one of them. However, he lost to Lin Chong in the weapon competition, Hua Rong in the arrow competition, and his fists and feet were beaten all over the ground by Jiao Ting. After three defeats, he sat on the ground crying and could not afford to cry. Therefore, the name "Crying Man" was also known to Lao Cao and others.
Wanyan Zongxiong called a close aide and gave him some instructions, and he flew off to Yizhou.
Cao Cao also led his people back.
In fact, according to the original arrangement of the Lou family, Isaac Li led three hundred Jurchens to defend the city. Xiao Qian had so many soldiers that he was unable to do so for a while. Cao Cao then led nearly a thousand people to wander outside, making it increasingly difficult for him to exert his full strength. After Lou Shi defeated the resentful army, it was a safe plan to lead the army to fight back.
He knew that Cao Cao had many brave generals. If Cao Cao was asked to obey the orders of Zong Xiong and others, he was afraid that he would not do his best. Therefore, he asked Cao Cao to lead the army. However, he never expected that the first thing Cao Cao would do was to turn stability into danger and turn that situation into danger. The three hundred defenders who were originally as safe as Mount Tai were turned into a bait, hoping to defeat Xiao Qian's army alone with the strength of a thousand men.
Therefore, this change happened because Mr. Lou underestimated Lao Cao after all.
Perhaps in Lou Shi's eyes, being willing to hand over the eight hundred Jurchens to the other party's command was the greatest respect. However, how could the majestic Wei Wu be willing to be at the mercy of a barbarian?
Could it be that his Lou family was allowed to plot against me, Lao Cao, but Lao Cao was not allowed to plot against his Wanyan Lou family and Wanyan Salihe?
Lou Shi could not have expected what Cao Cao was thinking, and the likes of Wanyan Zongxiong and Tu Danding were even more unpredictable.
But Xiao Qian, the king of Xi, promised many benefits and persuaded the resentful army to act as bait, leading the Jin army to fight hard. He led his own elite soldiers to seize Yizhou with great momentum. Unexpectedly, he finally arrived at the city and was about to set up his battle array. As they were attacking the city, they suddenly saw the city gates wide open. Hundreds of golden soldiers roared in unison, and then they came out like a tide, killing the Liao soldiers until the ground was covered with dead and wounded, and they retreated continuously.
Xiao Qian was shocked at first, wondering if these golden soldiers had taken the wrong medicine? Even in the Battle of Guarding Dagang, the difference in troop strength was only more than thirty times. At this moment, he had more than 20,000 infantry, more than 8,000 cavalry, and 30,000 horses. The opponent seemed to only have about 300, a gap of a hundred times. How dare you go out of the city to fight in the wild?
Surprised, looking at the still open city gate behind Jin Bing, greed gradually rose - since the rise of the Jurchens, the great Liao Kingdom has lost a city today and a land tomorrow. Over the past few years, bad news has spread. , half of the rivers and mountains were lost, how could half an inch of land be recovered?
Xiao Qian rolled his eyes and thought quickly: If we capture Yizhou today, it will not only boost the morale of our country's military, but also dampen the spirit of the Jin Kingdom. It will also make Xiao Qian famous in Jin and Liao from now on!
With this thought in mind, Xiao Qian became happy: These Jurchens are really arrogant. There are only a few hundred people. It is difficult to defend the city, but they rush out to fight in the field. Isn't this a fulfillment of Xiao? If we can annihilate him in one go and take advantage of the emptiness to regain Yizhou, even if Wanyan Loushi wins, there will be no way out. Maybe he will fall into my hands today.
After being greedy for a lifetime, he immediately ordered: the infantry retreated and prepared to enter the city, and all the cavalry went out to kill the Jurchens. They must not be allowed to escape back to the city!
When the military order was given, mountains of iron cavalry and eight thousand Xi cavalry rushed up to kill the generals. Wanyan Sali roared and danced with a mace, leading three hundred of his subordinates to fight to the death. However, in the end, there were only a few people, although the casualties were heavy. , but the warriors under his command also kept falling off their horses, and were gradually surrounded by Xi Qi in the center.
Xiao Qian laughed out loud when he saw Sa Lihe was surrounded. He was about to send his infantry to go around and seize the city. Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats behind him. A big man spoke in Chinese and shouted: "Wuna Xiao You have no talent at all, you just fell into my brother’s trap! If you don’t just surrender, do you want to wait for me, the ‘little bully’, to do it myself? Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh!”
Xiao Qian was proficient in the languages of various tribes. He turned around in shock, only to see nearly a thousand cavalry sweeping in like a violent wind. He couldn't help being shocked and angry.
He was shocked that he only had infantry at hand and all the cavalry were trapped in front of the battle. How could he withdraw at that moment?
What made Guo Yaoshi angry was that he beat his chest and vowed repeatedly, "Even if we cannot win, we will fight to the death against the Jurchen soldiers." What's going on now? Why could the more than 20,000 resentful troops against Lou Shi's mere thousands of troops be able to leave such a huge backhand?
What's even more confusing is that none of the dozens of elite scouts he placed behind the formation didn't respond, and they allowed the enemy to rush behind them!
Fortunately, he was considered a veteran general. Although he was panicking in his heart, he was instinctively giving the order: "Don't panic! Quickly put on your collars, and all the troops in the rear will change to the front, raise their spears, and line up to meet the enemy." Enemy! When the cavalry turns back, these golden soldiers will usually die!"
However, although his calculation was good, the infantry under his command were killed by Sa Lihe for a while. They retreated a long way and then managed to form a formation. They were all in shock. At this moment, they suddenly had to change formations. How could they be so fast? Law?
Moreover, Lao Cao was extremely cruel. According to Zong Xiong and Ding Ge’s wishes, he should have rushed back to meet up with Sa Lihe as soon as possible. He was worried that if he returned too late, three hundred Jurchens would die in battle and the enemy would seize the city first. How could it be so? Isn't it a piece of cake?
However, Cao Cao insisted and kept saying: "You and others say that Sa Lihe is the 'Crying Man', but I say that he is a true-hearted hero, a Jurchen warrior, and extremely brave. How can he be defeated in a moment?"
So they were forced to dismount and lead their horses to walk for several miles. One was to raise the horse power in preparation for the fight, and the other was to make full use of Sa Lihe, trying to influence the Liao army as much as possible, so that he could not retreat for a while.
At the same time, more than a hundred people who were skilled in archery were selected, led by Hua Rong, and scattered in front of the army to shoot the Liao army's horses.
Therefore, until the enemy was in sight, Lao Cao ordered everyone to mount their horses and rush straight into the enemy's formation.
Cao Cao's cunning attack hit Xiao Qian's weak point. When he hurriedly gave the order and the junior high school officer waved the flag in a panic, it was already too late!
Among the more than 20,000 infantrymen, although some turned around quickly, most of them were still at a loss. Everyone in the team looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The hastily formed spear formations were also sparse, one in the east and two in the west. Branches, not a climate at all.
In the midst of the commotion, Zhou Tong rode a green-maned horse and rushed towards him. A large halberd swept away several spears with cold light, and stepped straight into the formation. He killed dozens of people in an instant, feeling invincible and proud. He shouted: "Hey! Xiao Qian, if you don't surrender early, Zhou will cut you into ten pieces!"
Beside him, Shi Wengong was riding a white dragon horse. A gust of wind seemed to overtake him. He opened and closed a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. Those Liao soldiers were killed and wounded, and they cut straight through an alley of flesh and blood. Behind them were hundreds of Jurchens. The elite soldiers followed closely, using swords and guns at the same time, killing the Liao army until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
It turns out that Shi Wengong lost his own painting halberd in order to seize Guo Yaoshi's Ghost Crying Gun. The battlefield there was like a sea of Shura blood. Where could he find it? There was only one tip left in the Ghost Crying Gun, and he couldn't use it for a while. He was anxious to fight, so he simply borrowed Han Chang's guy to use it.
Fortunately, although Shi Wengong was nicknamed the "Magic Spear", he was actually proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. This three-pointed two-edged sword was also extremely good. Even Han Chang admired it after seeing it.
Han Chang's left shoulder was injured by an arrow and was unable to use any weapons. He held a sword in his right hand. Beside his horse was a Jie Bao. His injured left shoulder was normal. His right hand wielded a single sword. The two enemies looked after each other and were protected by several brothers. .
Who is protecting them? Li Jun, Zhang Shun, San Ruan, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, Xie Zhen, Meng Kangye!
These brothers were not good at horse fighting. They rushed to kill with the crowd. Seeing that the Liao soldiers were in chaos, they each dismounted and fought on foot. They led dozens of Dengzhou sergeants and committed suicide. Especially Jiao Ting, who was in the lead. The two swords danced into a ball of light, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in their path. Several Xiren military schools came to fight, but they were all killed by him alone.
When Cao Cao came to the north this time, he did not bring a big sword with him, but the sword in his hand was a gift from Lin Chong. He did not rush into the formation, but only commanded from the center. He looked around and saw where the commander's flag was. He pointed his knife at Xiao Qian and said: "Coach Lin, Sun An, Sun Li, Hua Rong, you four go kill Xiao Qian!"
The four who called their names roared and left the group, led by Lin Chong, followed by Sun An and Sun Li. Hua Rong was among them and rushed straight towards Xiao Qian.
Hua Rong was protected by his brothers on three sides. He hung up his silver spear with confidence, stood upright, and drew his bow from all sides. Anyone who could fight Lin Chong and others with two more moves would be shot down with one arrow in the blink of an eye.
Cao Cao laughed loudly and shouted: "Where is Fan Rui? Give me a gust of wind!"
Hearing this, Fan Rui swung his meteor hammer, knocking down five or six people around him. He raised the Demon King's Sword and muttered something in his mouth. He suddenly yelled "Ji" and a gust of wind blew up on the ground. Suddenly, sand and rocks flew around, and the Liao soldiers became more and more chaotic.
Cao Cao shouted: "This is the moment! Shi Wengong, Wanyan Zongxiong, and Tu Danding, divide your troops into three groups and drive them to the city!"
Xu Guanzhong shouted in Jurchen language. After listening, the three divided their troops and led more than 200 people each. Zong Xiong waved his long-handled battle axe, Ding Ge wheeled his iron bone flower, Shi Wengong unfolded his three-pointed knife, and the three generals roared in unison. , just like wolves driving deer, struggling to drive the defeated Liao army forward.
This kind of killing method is the Jurchen's fighting method. It was learned from the wolves when the Jurchens were fishing and hunting. Of all the generals under Cao Cao's command, only Shi Wengong could cooperate with them. This was probably because when Zeng was serving as the instructor, the Zeng family was a group of mature Jurchens, and they had told Shi Wengong and Su Ding about such tactics.
But seeing the black wind blowing, the sand and stones rolling, the Jurchen army and horses came to the world like a killing god, and a hero like Cao Cao was added among them. Although there were many infantry of the Xi tribe, at this moment, there were no generals, no generals, and swords and guns rolling behind them. Rolling up, they all looked ahead and ran around, and soon they bumped into their own cavalry.
Tudan Dingge led his men to fight and rushed over like a wave. He saw Wanyan Salihui fighting to the death. There were only twenty or thirty soldiers around him. He immediately shouted: "Salihei, don't do it." If you panic, Brother Danding will come to save you!"
Sa Lihe was nearly exhausted from the killing, and he would die if he followed his own path. Suddenly he saw the enemy army in chaos, and then he saw Brother Ding, his disciple, coming to kill him. He suddenly cried in excitement: "Brother Ding, why did you come just now? My son and son are going to die." Absolutely!"
He didn't know where the force came from, and the heavy mace became swift again, knocking several Xiqi off their horses, and then brought people to greet Brother Ding.
Unexpectedly, among the rebels, a Liao general was annoyed. The man took his horse with him and cursed: "We have to wait for such a fierce battle to destroy this group of Jurchens. How dare you come to rescue him? I want you to know me today." Tianshan Yong is amazing!"
This Tianshan Yong was a well-known and brave general in the Xi Cavalry. Now he was angry. He hung an iron spear on the bird's wing ring, picked up his customary lacquered crossbow, filled it with a foot long iron feather arrow, and ordered him to make a little oil. , he looked at Brother Dan Ding, his disciple, and set the arrow firmly, and the string was straight. When the string sounded, a black light broke through the sky. Brother Dan Ding, his disciple, exclaimed, and when he was about to dodge, he hit the throat early and turned somersaults. Falling off the horse.
Sa Lihe was shocked when he saw it, and cried louder and louder, but his men were merciless and rushed forward with all their strength, protecting Brother Ding's left and right, preventing the enemy from riding forward to harm him.
This is exactly what it is: a little oil in an army of hundreds of battles will make it difficult for the general to save his life. The prince-in-law is not destined to be wrapped in white cloth, but the king is wearing a colorful fur coat.
