The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 678
Yang Yanzhao, Hu Yanzan and others were ordered to successfully capture Changli. A few days later, the Jurchen army passed by here directly. The scouts from both sides contacted and started the war only a dozen miles away to report to each other. It can be said that they are very close to Changli.

This Jurchen team is naturally Wanyan Aguda who sent Wanyan Zongwang's reinforcements of about 5000 people. After accepting the mission, this person ordered the generals of the headquarters to send troops, including Wanyan Shouxu, Wanyan Yinshuke, Shuhu Gaoqi, Wanyanshou, Clan generals such as Wan Yanchang and Xiyun Xiaomei, as well as the Gongsun King who surrendered to the Jurchen, Sai Yuan Jing Sui Yuanjin, and the original Gongsun clan generals Liang Mao and Han Zhong.

By the time Yang Yanzhao and other generals received the news, the Jurchens were already at the gates of the city!
Both Wanyan Zongwang and Yang Yanzhao did not expect such a sudden situation. The former did not expect that the Song army had already captured Changli, while Yang Yanzhao scattered a large number of spies to the east. Sai sent an army.

"Send someone to inform General Huyanzan of the Chixin Battalion that the enemy is already under the city of Changli."

Yang Yanzhao was worried when he saw this Jurchens, so he immediately sent an order to the scattered Chixin Camp, fearing that Hu Yanzan and others would be caught off guard by the Jurchens without knowing it.

"Second son, this Changli is also occupied by Song people, what should we do?" Wan Yanchang asked Wanyan Zongwang with a look of surprise when he saw the Song Dynasty banner on the city wall.

Looking at Changli, Wanyan Zongwang also had a very headache. You must know that this time it was for rescue and not for siege. This army did not bring craftsmen and siege equipment at all, and they were all cavalry. Knowing that it is impossible, let alone Wanyan Zongwang.

"Rest and set up camp on the spot and prepare siege equipment. It is important that this place does not fall into the hands of the Han!" Wanyan Zongwang gave the order after thinking about it.

But about a hundred miles away from Changli, "General Huyanzan, there are a large number of enemy soldiers outside Changli City, about 5000!"

"Oh? How are the enemy troops doing now? Are they preparing to attack the city or have they escaped around the city?" Gan Ning asked carelessly while chewing a wild fruit.

"Report to General Gan, the enemy army is resting in place and preparing to set up camp at the logging!" The messenger recalled the situation of the Jurchen who circled out of the city.

When Gan Ning heard what the messenger said, he looked at the sun and thought for a while and said, "Zizhong (Huyanzan Zizhong), it's Maoshi (after five o'clock in the afternoon and before seven o'clock in the afternoon), these Jurchens must march for a day, They have just rested for a short time, and it is the time when they are exhausted, and we just happened to raid them for a vote?"

Gan Ning's words aroused the interest of Hu Yantong and Hu Yanzhuo. They looked at Huyan Zan with excited eyes. The former is a reckless man who gets excited whenever there is a battle, while the latter thinks it is also a good opportunity, but Tai Shixiang is a little bit more excited. He hesitated but did not speak.

Hu Yanzan thought for a while and was moved by Gan Ning's suggestion. After thinking about it, the Jurchens were under Changli City. If it succeeded, Yang Yanzhao would definitely send troops to cooperate. If it failed, the mobility of the war horses could also throw away the enemy, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay. ! Vote for him!"

Following Hu Yanzan's order, in addition to Hu Yantong and Hu Yanzhuo who were originally excited, there were two young generals who were very excited. These two young generals were Ding Feng and Ding Feng.

The little kid who followed Ding Wei back then has grown up, now Ding Feng is 20 years old, and Ding Feng is 18 years old, the two of them have been following in Tai Shixiang's footsteps!It can be said that the soldiers in Chixin Battalion are strong and strong now!

Hu Yanzan took the lead in getting on his horse, and the soldiers of the Chixin Battalion also got on their horses one by one, and set off in the direction of Changli with a total of [-] cavalry. After walking for dozens of miles, they began to slowly increase their horse speed.

"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The range of tens of miles was fleeting for the cavalry, and soon entered the range of the Jurchens scouts, and the Jurchens scouts were shot and killed one by one by the continuous flying arrows.

Now there are quite a few archers in the Chixin Camp. Gan Ning, Tai Shixiang, Ding Feng, and Ding Feng all shot and killed the scouts around them like a competition, and the speed of their horses did not slow down at all.

When the last scout was running towards the Jurchen camp, hoping to pass on the news to the camp, he said, 'Whoosh!puff! ’ An arrow was shot through the throat and fell off the horse. Gan Ning retracted his bow and glanced at Tai Shixiang and Ding Feng, but his intention was speechless.

Tai Shixiang shook his head as an admission of defeat, while Ding Feng was a little bit dissatisfied, obviously still a little bit unconvinced!
Without the scouts, the army is blind. Wanyan Zongwang and others didn't know that there was a cavalry attack. They just entered the tent and began to rest. As a general, all the tents are the first to be erected, while the Jurchen camp is It's a busy look.

"Stop making trouble! We will reach the enemy's camp in a dozen miles or so!" Hu Yanzan said as everyone was about to fight, and all the generals had clear eyes.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The Jurchen camp had only a prototype just now, and only part of the tent was erected. Even the camp had only a frame and only a few logs. The sound of enemy attack jumped up immediately.

But after a long march, after less than a quarter of an hour of rest, all the Jurchen soldiers immediately got up and felt their bodies were very numb, and what's more, they sat down on the ground not long after getting up.

This is the opportunity that Gan Ning keenly grasps. If you enter a resting state after long-term exercise, you will get up smoothly when you sit down and get up immediately without relaxing the tense muscles. However, after a short period of rest, the tense muscles will start to relax. Sometimes it will be very uncomfortable to exercise vigorously.

The Chixin Camp didn't care whether the Jurchens had rested or were in chaos. In short, the idea was to attack. When they saw the chaotic Jurchen camp, they attacked, and it was a standard rocket launch.

In an instant, many piled tents and wood in the camp were set alight, and many female soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

"Everyone, change your weapons and prepare for a raid!"

Hu Yanzan looked at the crowd behind him and roared, Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yantong all drew out their double whips, Tai Shixiang, Ding Feng, Ding Feng put away their bows and arrows and raised their spears on their horses, even Gan Ning raised his hands The weapon is a nine-curved halberd.

The sudden attack, and the chaotic camp Wanyan Zongwang looked around gloomyly. This person's camp was the one that was set on fire first.

"Don't make a mess, everyone get on their horses and run, shoot each other!" Wanyan Zongwang was very decisive. Now the defense system of the big camp has not been established at all, and a day's march is not the time to fight at all. The state of the soldiers was very clear, and the most correct order was issued.

Fortunately, it was Wanyan Zongwang's habit to keep all the soldiers beside the horses when they were resting in place. He did not drive all the horses together, so that the damage in this attack would be relatively small.
