In Puzhou, the [-] troops led by Yue Fei plus the [-] original defenders of Puzhou, a total of [-] troops, plus the civilians of Puzhou are busy nervously.
Everything that blocked the siege was moved to the city wall by him.
At the North City Tower, the setting sun is like blood, the mist is gentle, and the fields are endless. The wheat in the fields has already eared, and it will enter the harvest period in less than a month.
Yue Fei stood quietly, with ups and downs in his heart!Since he returned to Zongze, he has commanded only a few thousand troops. Now he has to defend a city and command an army of more than [-] people. While he feels the burden on his shoulders is heavy, he also laments that his talents finally have a chance to shine. .
Vice General Bi Jin said solemnly, "General, sent out scouts to report that Yan Wanyan Zongfu and Liu Lin's army totaled nearly one hundred thousand, and they are now less than fifty miles away from Puzhou! According to the distance calculated, the enemy army will arrive in Puzhou around tomorrow's Shen time state."
Tomorrow? It is often surprisingly calm before a storm, but in the decisive battle the day after tomorrow, this place will turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a purgatory on earth!However, even if this place is a purgatory on earth, he will defend it with all his strength, because behind Puzhou is Kaifeng! "Give me the order to completely block all city gates except the north gate before noon tomorrow! All defensive equipment is ready!"
"Take the order and the general will make arrangements immediately."
[The second day·It’s going to be night]
After several days of marching, the army led by Wanyan Zongfu and Liu Lin finally arrived at Puzhou City on April 1. The army set up camp ten miles away from Puzhou City and arranged a forward battalion of about [-] people five miles away from Puzhou City. The place was close to Xiazhai, thinking it was a warning.
Under the darkness of night, the enemy army's camp was ablaze with lights, like stars in the underworld, swallowing up the life around them.
In the central military tent, Wanyan Zongfu was full of ambition, "The last time we captured Kaifeng, We Libu (Wanyan Zongwang) got an advantage. It's a pity that this man didn't have the blessing to enjoy the military exploits and died in Handan! This time I will lead the cavalry to defeat Kaifeng." ! Let the people of Song Dynasty be frightened after hearing this!"
Although Liu Lin was as complacent as him, he was a little more vigilant. After all, last year's defeat was still fresh in his mind.
"General, that Shen Wanshu is deceitful! Her methods are changeable. When attacking Kaifeng, don't underestimate the enemy."
"What are you afraid of for a mere woman? I don't believe in the sorcery you are talking about! If I really meet her, I would like to experience it."
Liu Lin couldn't help but ridicule in his heart, what's the point?If you really see her magic, I'm afraid you will cry!
……
However, Wanyan Zongfu never expected that he would see Zhao Yingluo's methods before he even attacked Kaifeng!
At midnight, after a day's march, hundreds of thousands of troops quickly fell asleep, and the entire camp was dark except for the torches of the patrolling soldiers.
At this time, there was a loud noise in the camp, waking up almost everyone!What followed was howling and screaming.
"Enemy attack!" The shouts one after another also woke up Wanyan Zongfu who had just fallen asleep.
He quickly put on his clothes and rushed out of the camp.
But surprisingly, this explosion only made one sound, destroying a tent, killing two soldiers and wounding seven.
After Liu Lin smelled the familiar smell, his expression changed drastically, "It was Shen Wanshu who did it! She used this kind of magic to break the city gate."
"Immediately send out scouts to detect the enemy's movements. The rest of the people will not take off their armor! Don't take off their saddles! Stay vigilant." After ordering the scouts to be dispatched, Wanyan Zongfu felt a little suffocated. Those patrolling the camp and those standing guard around the camp were what happened?Why did the enemy get into the camp? About an hour later, the scout reported back that no trace of the enemy had been found.
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongfu became even more depressed. There were no enemies. Could this explosion really be the result of Shen Wanshu's magic? "Instruct the camp to be on guard inside and outside. If there is any movement, deal with it immediately! If it is an enemy, kill it first and report later. Except for the soldiers patrolling the camp, the rest of the people in the camp will rest normally."
After making these arrangements, Wanyan Zongfu returned to his central army tent, took off his outer robe, stretched out and lay down. Maybe this was not a sneak attack by the enemy. How could he kill two people in a sneak attack and then run away? Thinking of this, he gradually became sleepy, and he fell asleep in less than half a cup of tea.
However, it seemed that God was joking with him. Not long after he fell asleep, another loud noise woke him up. Just like before, a tent was destroyed, and three to five people were killed and injured.
Wanyan Zongfu, who was awakened again, was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke. "Come here! Send more people immediately to explore around the camp. Be sure to find the enemy's hiding place."
After ordering people to go out to investigate, Wanyan Zongfu returned to the central army tent cursing. This time he simply didn't take off his outer robe, as he was unsure when the other party would do this again.
The scouts reported that they had expanded the search area to five miles, but still could not find the enemy.
"That's all, everyone tonight, sleep in armor and stay awake!"
After giving the instructions, it was already Mao hour. Wanyan Zongfu, who was yawning profusely, saw that dawn was about to break in the east, so he lay down and prepared to stay energetic before attacking the city at dawn.
However, just as he fell asleep, there was another loud noise in the camp! Wanyan Zongfu was awakened again and couldn't help but cursed. Who could bear to be harassed like this all night? "Pass the order, the plan to attack the city at dawn is cancelled, and will be changed to attack the city in the morning the day after tomorrow. After dawn, everyone will continue to rest!"
This time, Wanyan Zongfu waited from Mao hour, which was five o'clock in the morning in later generations, until Chen hour, before he lay down and slept for a while.
This time I slept until late afternoon.
After getting enough sleep, Wanyan Zongfu felt much better. After having some lunch, he began to think about the strange events that happened last night.
Could it really be Shen Wanshu's sorcery?Otherwise, why would the scouts go out to the camp again and again to look for the enemy, but all come back empty-handed?
After dressing up, he walked out of the central military tent. At this time, the entire camp was also in a state of confusion due to last night's troubles. Even the soldiers patrolling the camp were yawning.
After inspecting the camp for nearly a circle, Wanyan Zongfu returned to the central military tent and ordered the tent to be raised!Summon the superior and subordinate officers and soldiers to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone already knows what happened last night. Although the scouts found no trace of the enemy, please don't take it lightly! Although it is afternoon, there is no guarantee that Shen Wanshu will not attack suddenly."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. After all, yesterday's explosion made them a little frightened.
"Now we are divided into three teams, one team is responsible for security, one team is responsible for continuing to investigate the enemy's situation, and the other team is resting, ready to take over the security and investigation at any time. If there is no abnormality tonight, the army will attack the city early tomorrow morning."
But Wanyan Zongfu thought too much. Just after midnight, the first explosion sounded, and the whole camp was in a panic.
Wanyan Zongfu's mentality almost collapsed, but between collapse and non-collapse, reason still prevailed. That's all, let's not sleep tonight.
