The moon was about to set, and Nianhan led more than a hundred people out of the east city gate. Looking back at the city wall, I can't help but feel sad. If he hadn't underestimated Wang Xiaolie too much, if he hadn't made a life-saving blow to Taiyuan before, why would he have done this?
The Jin army has developed so smoothly in the past few years, destroying the Liao Dynasty and defeating the Song Dynasty, and Xixia has also obediently proclaimed itself a vassal. Looking at the world, who is the opponent? Even if Wang Xiaolie attacked Balisu and Salihe continuously, Jin Jun just thought it was an accident and Nianhan didn't pay much attention. In Fenzhou, Wang Xiaolie attacked Wanyan Benjian and Wanyan Salihe again, but Nianhan just thought that his troops were insufficient. He was so cruel that he raised an army to overwhelm the country and decided to stand with Wang Xiaolie at the foot of Taiyuan City.
Who would have thought that Wang Xiaolie had no intention of decisive battle with Nianhan, but wanted to annihilate the Jin army in one battle. Not only that, at this time, Wang Xiaolie also prepared an ambush to attack Datong Mansion in Xijing.
These days, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Nianhan is just serious about his words. Now that he was about to leave, Nianhan couldn't bear it anymore.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Nianhan sighed heavily.
At this moment, Yan Zhanmen came over and whispered: "Marshal, there are Song Army reconnaissance cavalry about a mile away. Do you want to go and capture them?"
Nian Han said with a face: "Bring them here!"
Yan Zhanmen all made a promise, took five people, and galloped towards the Song Army's reconnaissance cavalry one mile away.
Who would have thought that when they saw the Jin soldiers approaching, the two Song soldiers immediately turned their horses and galloped into the night.
Everyone in Yan Zhanmen cursed angrily and came back to report to Nianhan. He said: "This place is not far from the city. There are Song Army scouts everywhere. Marshal should leave quickly."
Nianhan looked around and saw that it was not only him who escaped from the city tonight, but also many Jurchen princes. They are a clump here and a cluster there, not all together. This is not surprising, the Jurchens all know that there are Song army scouts and cavalry everywhere outside the city, and together they will die quickly.
In the dark night, I don't know when a Song Army reconnaissance horse came out. When encountering a small group of Jurchens, they were immediately taken. When encountering a large group of Jurchens, the Song army had no choice but to retreat. Nianhan had more than a hundred people and was strong, and there was no way for the Song army to stop him.
Looking at the dark night in the east, Nianhan said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he rode forward and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.
Two or three miles away, two Song soldiers looked at the direction Nianhan and his party were leaving and shook their heads.
One said: "Brother, there are so many people in this group, it must be difficult. You go and report to the capital immediately, I will follow behind."
Another said: "Brother is right. You keep an eye on them here, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he flew off the horse.
Tonight, the Song army deployed reconnaissance cavalry outside the city. For the Jin people who leave the city, the next level is for those with ten or less people, and the next level is for those with ten to thirty people, and so on. According to different levels, the captain, commander and controller decide how to deal with it.
Li Shifu and the governor Zhang Qi commanded from the center in Fengyi Town. Before midnight, I received news that a group of several hundred people came out of the East City Gate. They seemed to be no ordinary people and headed east. Because the matter was so important, the commander did not dare to make the decision and hurriedly came to report.
After hearing the news, Li Shifu said to Zhang Qi: "Captain, if there are hundreds of people in Yunzhong City now, who could they be?"
Zhang Qi said: "Either several big families come together, and if they arrive, they will be a great person."
Li Shifu thought for a while and said decisively: "Since he is not an ordinary person, I can't say, so I have to take a trip. I will leave it to your command here. I will lead five hundred cavalry to chase this group of people. The furthest is the foot of Baishan Mountain, so I will Take them!”
Zhang Qi said: "That's fine. There must be a lot of Jurchens out of the city tonight. Commander, go back as soon as possible."
Li Shifu said yes. Turning around, he ordered five hundred cavalrymen, took the soldiers who came to report the news, and chased all the way east.
After walking for half the night, Nianhan breathed a sigh of relief when the sky became slightly brighter. Said: "After a quick night's march, the Song army was already far behind. In front of us is Baideng stage, let's take a rest there. Have a bowl of porridge, and when we're full, we'll go to Baideng County!"
Everyone said yes and dismounted to rest.
There are more than a hundred people in Nianhan, including many powerful generals of the Jin Army. They did not go out for various reasons and were brought out by Nianhan.
The group had just started the fire when they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them.
A horse rushed straight towards the crowd. When they arrived, the knight on horseback cursed: "Zhi Niang, you guys are running too fast! Grandpa didn't catch up from Fengyi Town until he reached the bottom of Baishan Mountain! Tell me, who are you guys?"
Yan Zhanmen picked up the spear beside him, got on his horse, pointed at the man and said, "Who are you? Take your life quickly!"
After saying that, he rushed forward like an arrow.
Li Shifu saw it correctly and suddenly twisted his waist to avoid Yan Zhanmendu's spear. He took out his mace from the side and smashed it into Yan Zhanmendu's waist.
Yan Zhanmen didn't expect the enemy general to be so fierce. When he saw the mace coming, he hurriedly twisted to dodge. Although Yan Zhanmen moved like lightning, he still did not avoid Li Shifu's mace and was struck by the tip of the mace. The waist was the gap in the armor, and he immediately bled profusely.
Covering his waist and eyes with his hands, Yan Zhanmen said angrily: "Who are you? If you can hurt me, you are not a nobody!"
Li Shifu said: "For a thief like you, wouldn't another general take your life? I am useless and only hurt you!"
Seeing this situation, the other Jin officers and soldiers knew that the intruder was evil and hurriedly mounted their horses.
Jiagu Wulibu winked at Wuyanhuli, and with a sudden movement of his horse, he silently attacked Li Shifu.
Li Shifu gave a long laugh and shouted: "Well done!"
He twisted his waist and pointed the spear in his hand at Jiagu Wuli, who was charging diagonally. This shot hit the target and stabbed Jiagu Wuli off his horse.
Nianhan was shocked when he saw Jiagu Wulibu being stabbed off his horse. This is a veteran of the Jin Army who has been fighting for many years. He is known for his extraordinary physical strength and has made countless contributions. Such a famous general couldn't escape Li Shifu's shot.
Seeing Li Shifu preparing to attack Yanzhanmendu, Nianhan hurriedly shouted: "Let's go together! Why are you hesitating at this time?"
Li Shifu said loudly: "Sure enough, he is not a simple person. Good luck today! Soldiers, why are you so polite? Surround the Jin army and don't let anyone go!"
After these two sounds, the Song and Jin cavalry collided directly with each other and charged into battle.
The cavalry of the Song Army are best at fighting in small groups. They usually work as a group of five or ten people to cooperate with each other and fight against the Jin Army. The Jin Army did not have such tactical literacy. Although they cooperated, they were obviously not trained.
Although the Jin Army has several famous generals, how many people can the famous generals kill? Without a demoralized army, famous generals would not be able to play much of a role. Li Shifu had 500 cavalry, and his strength was obviously superior. There was not much time, the Jin army who could fight were surrounded by the Song army, and those who couldn't fight were quickly strangled.
Seeing that he clearly had the upper hand, Li Shifu took the horse aside and observed the situation on the field. After a while, he realized that Nianhan was the leader, so he immediately picked him up and returned to his army's formation.
He threw Nianhan to the ground, pointed a gun at him and said, "You look like a leader. Tell me, who are you?"
Nianhan slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his robe and said: "Marshal of the Great Jindu, Nianhan is the one!"
