In Shaanxi, only the Suide Army was connected to the Shizhou and Jinning Army on Hedong Road, which was like a dead end in the Jin Kingdom. Apart from Wanyan Salihe, the only general here is Wanyan Huonv. Other high-level figures have long been transferred to other places through various connections.
When Wanyan Huonv arrived at Anbao, the Song army had already arrived at Dantou Village for two days and had already completed the defense system. Knowing the outcome of the past few days, all the generals felt hesitant, hesitating between attacking and retreating.
Seeing the hesitation of the generals, Wanyan Huonu said angrily: "Now that we have figured it out, there are only three thousand Song troops on the other side, why should we hesitate? There are six thousand people from Anding Fort plus three thousand people from Long'an Village. We have nine thousand troops. Nine thousand troops, why are we afraid of three thousand defenders!"
Hulu whispered: "These three thousand Song troops defeated two thousand of us in one battle, and wiped out three thousand of us in a few days. They should not be underestimated! Dutong, the nine thousand here are on Shaanxi Road." All armies, once they are lost..."
Wanyan Huonu said: "There are only three thousand Song troops. Even if they have great abilities, they can't destroy my nine thousand army!"
After finishing speaking, looking at the generals below, some lowered their heads, some raised their eyes and looked out the window, and some shook their heads slightly, obviously lacking in confidence. Within a few days, Zhang Zhen's group came so fiercely that they frightened the generals and completely destroyed their confidence.
Looking at the faces of everyone, Wanyan Huonu said helplessly: "Our army is here, we can't be scared away by the three thousand Song army, we have to fight. Your confidence is gone, how can this be done? Tomorrow Long'an Village will The army has also arrived, let's join forces and try to attack."
No one spoke, and there were no expressions on their faces.
Wan Yanhuo Nu sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.
An army has completely lost its confidence and is afraid of the enemy. How can we fight this battle? But it doesn't work without fighting. How can an army of nine thousand people be scared away by three thousand people? What's more, the opposite side is still the Song Army, and he is the invincible Jin Army. If the two sides were switched, it would make sense for the nine thousand Song army to be scared away by the three thousand Jin army. In just a few years, it has become like this. Wanyan Huonv was in a trance for a while, feeling like she was in a dream.
The next day, Wanyan Huonv led the army and approached Dantou Village.
Dantou Village is not big, and the city wall is not high. It looks like a squatting puppy on the vast land. Wanyan Huonv felt that she could step onto the city with just a pull on the horse's reins. But it was this small town that blocked the Jin army's path.
The city was too small and there were not many Song troops to place on the wall. Zhang Zhen's arrangement was for the right army camp to guard the city wall, and the rear army camp to assist. The front military camp and the left military camp are under the city ready to attack at any time, and the middle military camp is the reserve team.
The city was so crowded that the leader of the village, Xianying, and his Tibetan soldiers could only do odd jobs and help with odd jobs. Even Shu Jiming and others could only gather their troops and occupy a few yards.
When had Dang Xianying ever seen such a scene? I always feel on tenterhooks. A small town like Dantou Village would be defeated by an army of 9,000 troops. When would it dare to defend the city? And these three thousand Song troops not only wanted to defend the city, but they were also full of confidence.
Looking at the Jin army outside the city at the top of the city, Zhang Zhen put down his telescope and said: "I don't know how they are going to attack. The artillery on the top of the city is almost full, and they can't attack from any direction. In a few days, there is no shortage of artillery shells." , what else are they coming to attack?"
After saying that, he shook his head again and again, looking like he couldn't understand.
Wanyan Huonu was on her horse, looking at Dantou Village in front of her, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Finally, he said: "The Song army has artillery, which is unparalleled in power. If we want to attack, there is only one way. That is to use the cavalry to quickly run across the range of the artillery, reach the city, and then dismount the ants to attack the city. However, in this way, effective command will not be possible, and the effect will be That’s a discount. Moreover, how to transport the ladder to the city is also a problem.”
Hulu said: "Capital, the Song army must be full of artillery at the top of the city. It will not be easy to climb the city. It is better to prepare more men and make more trips. If there are more people, we can attack the city."
Wan Yan Huo Nu nodded: "That's all it can do."
After saying that, he ordered the messenger behind him to summon the fierce Di Gu to supplement him. Said: "You lead a thousand cavalry and attack the opposite city wall. Remember, the Song people's artillery is powerful, so you must be careful. After riding three hundred steps, you can dismount and attack. The artillery on the top of the Song army's city cannot hit too close."
Digu added that it was. I originally wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and finally didn't say anything.
After getting on his horse, Di Gubu looked at the city wall opposite and felt sad in his heart. Normally, the Song army had no artillery, and the Jin army was not good at attacking cities. What's more, now the city is covered with artillery? My own thousand cavalrymen could chase ten thousand Song troops in normal times, but today they fell into this situation.
Hearing the sound of a drum, followed by the sound of war drums from all directions, Digubu felt as if the ground was shaking. Gritting his teeth, he charged forward with a thousand cavalry.
As soon as they ran out of misfortune, they saw a muffled sound at the top of the city and countless cannonballs flying towards the cavalry. Digu barely dodged a cannonball. Looking back, he saw that one-third of his army had been eliminated. He dismounted his horse and moved forward hastily. Not far away, he heard the muffled sound in his head again, and the shells were hitting him almost endlessly.
Di Gubu didn't care and just urged the horse to move quickly.
By the third round of artillery, most of Digubu's troops were already out of the artillery range. It's just that almost half of the troops were shot on the road.
Digu dismounted his horse and looked at the city wall in front of him. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Most of the ladders brought along the road had been smashed by artillery, and only two remained. Two ladders are used to attack the city. Isn’t this a joke?
At the foot of the city wall, Di Gubu turned around to look at Yan Huo Nu. As it is now, I can only hope that he will send more people.
The beautiful woman's face was ashen. A thousand people arrived at the city and only 500 were left, so the battle could not be fought. No matter how many people I have, there are not enough cannonballs to kill them.
At this time, Hulu came forward and whispered: "Capital, the artillery of the Song army is most useful for attacking the gathered troops, but it will not work if it is used to attack the dispersed troops. Why don't we use the cavalry and let the soldiers disperse and approach from all directions?" City wall. Even if a cannon is fired, it may not hit anyone, so what if it does? One or two people can be exchanged for one cannonball, which is not a loss."
Wanyan Huonu's eyes lit up and she said: "What you said makes sense! If the people are scattered, what if the Song army has artillery? When they get near the city wall, the artillery will be useless! As long as one city wall is captured, Dan Touzhai is not at my mercy!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath and made arrangements immediately. This time no more cavalry was used, but three thousand men were dismounted, divided into three sides, and approached the city wall.
Zhang Zhen looked at the layout of the Jin army at the top of the city and sighed: "The general of the Jin army is a sensible man and knows how to disperse the attack. In this way, the artillery at the top of the city loses its greatest effect and cannot kill many people. It's just that he doesn't Understand, the biggest role of artillery is to destroy siege equipment. What's the use of people coming without equipment?"
After that, he ordered Shu Jiming and others below to be ready to go out of the city to fight at any time. When the Jin army arrived at the city, it was not enough to just defend. They also needed to take the initiative to attack. This is what the people below said, the defense of the city must be both offensive and defensive, and cannot be defended to death.
Only by using the attack to break up the enemy's offensive formation can the defenders on the city play their greatest role.
