Chapter 70 Confused Yue Fei
Not only Wanyan Zongfu, but also Yue Fei was curious about the brightly lit enemy camp on the other side of the city wall, "The enemy came to Puzhou City but did not attack the city. Why?"
Bi Jin was also puzzled, "General, could it be that the enemy has traveled a long distance and has not rested yet, so he has been recharging his energy in the past two days."
Yue Fei shook his head, "That makes sense, but since we are recharging our energy, why do the lights in the entire camp stay lit?"
Bi Jin said awkwardly, "This... the general doesn't know..."
"Let's go! Choose a dozen clever cavalry and come with me to explore the enemy's camp."
"The general puts himself in danger, if something goes wrong..."
"If I don't go to visit the camp, how can I determine the enemy's purpose? Get ready quickly!"
After making preparations, Yue Fei led a dozen strong cavalrymen to Wanyan Zongfu's camp at night. When they were less than two miles away from the camp, more than a dozen people dismounted and quietly approached the camp.
However, after marching to a place less than one mile away from the opponent's camp, they could no longer get closer, because at this distance, enemy scouts shuttled back and forth, and there was a risk of being exposed if they were not careful.
"General, we are still far away from the enemy's camp and can't see clearly what is true, so why not..."
Before Bi Jin finished speaking, there was another loud noise, and the enemy camp a mile away was in chaos again, and even the scouts on the periphery began to become restless.
Yue Fei seemed to understand something. In order to guard against being discovered, he made a retreat gesture and immediately took the lead towards Puzhou City.
"Isn't the general going to visit the camp?"
"No more probing! From that sound, I have already determined what happened to the enemy camp! After returning to the city, I ordered all the troops to dispatch and attack the enemy camp at night."
"Now my army is only [-]. Is it too risky to attack the enemy with [-]?"
Yue Fei said with a smile, "The princess once had a sixteen-character mantra for military use, which said, 'When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue'. Now the princess has helped us 'When the enemy is stationed, we harass'" ', if we don't seize the opportunity to fight, 'the enemy is tired and we fight', how can we solve the difficulties in Puzhou? Now the enemy has been frightened by this strange noise for two nights in a row. It is expected that both morale and combat effectiveness have been greatly weakened! Therefore, we should seize this opportunity and decide the outcome in one battle."
Bi Jin said with some confusion, "General, you mean that the princess is helping us?"
Yue Fei said firmly, "Who else can make this strange sound except her! Send the order quickly."
【Allied Forces Camp】
Being harassed by the enemy for two consecutive days gave Wanyan Zongfu a splitting headache!Two consecutive nights of attacks, although only about thirty unlucky people died, had a huge impact on morale.
What's even more annoying is that the scouts he sent out were like useless people. They couldn't find any clues for two days in a row.
Liu Lin's spirits were not much better. He had two dark circles under his eyes and said with dull eyes, "General, if we don't return to Beijing (referring to Daming Mansion) first, wait for the army to recuperate and deal with the attacker." After that, we will attack Puzhou."
Wanyan Zongfu also said in a deep voice with dark circles under his eyes, "I was ordered by the Grand Marshal to attack the east road. Now that I haven't captured a single city, how can I just retreat?"
"But if we continue like this, let alone attack Puzhou City, I'm afraid the soldiers will be lying in the middle before they even reach the bottom of the city due to continuous lack of sleep!"
Wanyan Zongfu was depressed to the extreme, and he couldn't stand it anymore, but the pride in his bones did not allow him to easily give the order to retreat.
"This noise has just passed. We should be able to catch up on an hour's sleep and recuperate first."
After Wanyan Zongfu finished speaking, he tilted his head on his seat and fell asleep!However, what he didn't expect was that the explosion disappeared, but the sound of enemy attacks drew him back from Duke Zhou.
"General... General... General, enemy attack! The forward camp has been defeated by the enemy and is coming towards the main camp!"
Wanyan Zongfu asked while putting on his armor, "Who is the enemy general?"
"Yue Fei!"
"He? With only 3 troops, you want to attack my 10 troops? Send the order! The army will immediately launch a counterattack. Anyone who cuts off Yue Fei's head will be rewarded with [-] gold! Anyone who captures him alive will also receive ten beauties!"
After putting on his armor, Wanyan Zongfu walked out of the Chinese army's tent and was about to get on his horse when he saw rockets filling the sky in a fan shape and hitting their camp like dense meteors.
In almost a few breaths, nearly half of the tents in the big camp were set on fire by this wave of rockets, and the blazing fire lit up half of the sky.
"what!……"
There was a sound of panic in the camp. After some sleeping soldiers were awakened, they did not know what happened at first. They only saw fire everywhere, blazing flames devouring their tents, and a heat wave. .
"Don't panic! Each captain will lead his army out of the camp immediately! Avoid enemy attacks."
Wanyan Zongfu stood outside the tent for a while. After he figured out the situation, he immediately issued an order.
However, just as they were about to escape from this hell-like camp on earth, the second round of rockets struck again! This time the rockets were denser than the first round, and the target was more clear, which was the central military tent. Some soldiers who could not dodge were directly hit by the rockets, screaming and burning.
"what!……"
This time the screams were even louder than before. Some soldiers who couldn't bear the pain even screamed and rolled back and forth, immediately bringing flames and sparks to more tents.
"Fire arrows! Counterattack!"
Wanyan Zongfu was so angry that he immediately ordered a counterattack. At the same time, he sent messengers to notify the troops on the left and right wings to quickly assemble and outflank Yue Fei's 3 troops.
After receiving the order, the cavalry quickly organized 2 people, preparing to detour to both sides of Yue Fei's army and directly attack its vital points on both sides.
However!Before they could leave the camp, an explosion exploded directly in the cavalry camp, instantly destroying more than a dozen cavalrymen and injuring more than a hundred others.
Although this explosion did not cause many injuries, it shook the morale of the cavalry. Even the horses were frightened by the explosion and ran around uncontrollably in the camp. The situation seemed to be completely out of control.
Wanyan Zongfu still wanted to stabilize the army, but after two consecutive days of fear, seventy people in the army had completely lost their will to fight. Therefore, when they saw some people rushing to escape outside the camp, other people followed suit.
What honor?What wealth?If all lives are lost, will these be useful?
"General, let's run too! If we don't run, I'm afraid you and I will become prisoners of the Song people."
The panicked Liu Lin was so frightened that his own army was exhausted, and the enemy's army was waiting for work. Even if the number was several times or even ten times that of the opponent, it might not be able to stop the opponent's [-] army.
"Send the order to retreat! Set up a new camp fifty miles away from Puzhou."
