Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 342 Burning Company Camp

At this moment, Yue Fei was riding a horse more than ten miles west of Zhongjing City, and he was looking at Zhongjing City in the distance.

The Liao Kingdom used to be the most powerful country in East Asia, with a huge land area, far surpassing the Song Dynasty. There are five capitals in the Liao Kingdom, among which Shangjing is the capital, and the other four capitals are the accompanying capitals. Among them, the capital is the most famous accompanying capital of the Liao State. In the middle and late period of the Liao Kingdom for a hundred years, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom stayed in Zhongjing for the rest of the time except when he was in Shangjing for offering sacrifices. In fact, this was once the political, economic and cultural center of the Liao Kingdom.

This city is extremely strong, and it is definitely not under Xixia Xingqing Mansion. The size of the city far exceeds that of Xingqing Mansion of Xixia, almost three times that of Xingqing Mansion of Xixia.

In later generations, this world-famous capital of the Liao Kingdom has disappeared, and Inner Mongolia has once again turned into a grassland. Only the "Liaozhongjing Museum" can be remembered by later generations. The once magnificent Liaoguo Zhongjing has been completely destroyed by the years.

"What a magnificent city!" Yue Fei finally spoke in admiration.

"Brother Yue, when are we going to attack Zhongjing?" Dong Xian said beside Yue Fei.

"Attack Zhongjing? I'm afraid it's not the time yet!" Yue Fei laughed dumbly.

"Not yet?" Dong Xian asked in surprise.

"This Zhongjing City is so strong, there are 200,000 Jurchen and Khitan troops in the city! Moreover, Zhongjing is very close to Liaodong. Over the years, many Jurchens have moved into Zhongjing City. If a war breaks out, those Jurchens They will also participate in the defense of the city! The amount of materials stored in Zhongjing City must be extremely large. We only have 70,000 light cavalry without any siege weapons, so it is difficult to take down Zhongjing City." Yue Fei said.

"When the Liao people guarded this place, the Jurchens were able to take it down! The Jurchens had just risen back then, and they didn't have any siege weapons. Why couldn't we take it down?" Dong Xian said dissatisfied.

"The days of the Liao Kingdom were already waning, and the Liao army was extremely poor! The Jurchen army attacked, and after only one day of fighting, the Liao army opened the city gate and surrendered! The current Jurchen is still much stronger than the original Liao country." Yue Fei said.

"Then shall we stay here?" Dong Xian asked.

"Of course not, we have other tasks to do! The order from the Military Aircraft Department has been sent, we are going to attack Yanyun!" Yue Fei said.

"Attack Yanyun?" Dong Xian was stunned.

"That's right! When we take down Yanyun, Wanyan Zongwang's 200,000 troops will be trapped in the Central Plains, and Liu Yu's 300,000 puppet troops will also be trapped in the Central Plains. We can slowly deal with them! As for the northern grasslands , We will continue to go north after the Central Plains are stabilized." Yue Fei said.

"This...if Jiangnan is pacified, such a strategy is naturally feasible." Dong Xian said.

"Liu Kai and I just got the news that His Majesty entered Jiangnan and killed the false monarch Zhao Gou! Zhao Gou's son was also killed!" Yue Fei said with a smile on his face.

"What?" Dong Xian was stunned for a while, and then an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

"Let's pass on this news! Let the soldiers be happy!" Yue Fei laughed.

Soon there was an earth-shattering sound of long live from the Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army, and every soldier was extremely excited! Originally, Jiangnan was the great enemy, and Zhao Gou also had countless troops under his command, as well as strong generals like Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Zong Ze, so it was very difficult to defeat Jiangnan! Especially when Jiangnan and Jurchen are united, it will be even more difficult to deal with them! Now that Zhao Gou in Jiangnan is dead, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Zong Ze and others are Han people and Song officials, they can only rely on Zhao Chen! The overall situation of the world has been decided!

If Yanyun is defeated, the Jurchen army in the Central Plains and the hypocrites are all caught in the urn, then the Jurchen outside the customs will be worthless at that time.

The sound of long live resounded through the sky, and the cavalry from the Imperial Army and the Huanqing Army were all cheering loudly, while Wan Yanchang, Jin Wushu and others were amazed, not knowing what happened below!

*** ***

The barracks of the Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army are not under the Zhongjing City, and they are still ten miles away from the Zhongjing City.

In the middle of the night, there are bonfires everywhere in the barracks, and soldiers are lighting fires for cooking.

On the next morning, tens of thousands of cavalry came from the barracks over there and wandered under the Zhongjing City, but they still did not attack the Zhongjing City.

This morning, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu looked into the distance and sent people to investigate. They found that the number of Han military camps seemed to be much larger. There were noisy voices everywhere in the barracks, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu were taken aback.

On the morning of the third day, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu discovered that the number of barracks had increased again.

The same goes for the morning of the fourth day!

"Why are there more and more Han camps? Don't they have other reinforcements?" Wan Yanchang said worriedly as the morning sun shone on his face.

"At first we thought they were 40,000 cavalry, but who knew they still had 40,000 cavalry! Now it seems that they have other cavalry on the grassland." Jin Wushu said.

There are still tens of thousands of Han Chinese cavalry coming here, and they left again after patrolling the city of Zhongjing for a while.

On the morning of the fifth day, there were even more barracks in the distance.

Judging by the number of barracks, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu concluded that the number of Han Chinese troops there should have exceeded 100,000.

This made Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu very vigilant.

Every night, there are still countless bonfires there, and the noise of the Han people can be heard.

From the sixth day to the tenth day, the number of barracks is still increasing.

According to Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu's judgment, the number of Han troops there should have exceeded 150,000.

On the morning of the eleventh day, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu stood on the city wall, still looking into the distance.

"Why don't the Han people launch an attack?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"Their siege weapons haven't arrived yet! It will take a long time to transport the siege weapons from the Central Plains to here, thousands of miles away! Grand Master, I think we should take the opportunity to launch an attack! Impossible to leave." Jin Wushu said.

"The Han people are extremely strong, and your 180,000 army is almost wiped out. If I attack rashly, I'm afraid I will suffer heavy losses! After we have suffered heavy losses, how can we help Guanshan?" Wan Yanchang said.

"Should we just let the Han people stay outside Zhongjing City? We just endure it here? I, Wanyan Zongbi, can't agree!" Jin Wushu said.

"Then what do you think we should do? If you can think of a good way to save us a lot of losses, I will attack the Han people outside!" Wan Yanchang said coldly.

"This..." Jin Wushu was stunned.

On the morning of the twelfth day, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu discovered that there were also countless military camps ten miles south of Zhongjing City, and there were also noisy voices. They were even more surprised! Jin Wushu challenged him again, but Wan Yanchang refused at all.

Until this night, Wan Yanchang was resting in a palace of the Liao kingdom in Zhongjing when Jin Wushu broke in.

Wan Yanchang's men couldn't stop Jin Wushu at all.

"Zong Bi, I've already said, be careful and safe! We can't let our army continue to lose! Wait until Guo Yaoshi arrives, and then we will fight the Han! Why don't you give up?" Wan Yanchang looked at Jin Wushu, frowning endlessly.

"Grand Master, I thought of a good way to wipe out all the Han people!" Jin Wushu said excitedly.

"Oh? What method?" Seeing Jin Wushu's excited face, Wan Yanchang also became curious and asked immediately.

"Have you ever heard of the plan of setting fire to the company?" Jin Wushu said.

"Fire company camp? When Liu Bei attacked Soochow, he mobilized 700,000 troops. The camp stretched for dozens of miles. Instead of fighting Liu Bei, Lu Xun of Soochow set fire to Liu Bei's camp. Afterwards, Liu Bei was defeated. ! Of course I know this." Wan Yanchang said.

"Grand Master, I think so. Now the Han camps are extremely dense. We can secretly set fire to burn all the Han camps! At that time, the Han people will be in chaos. We will take the opportunity to attack and wipe out all the Han people." Jin Wushu said.

"That's a good idea!" Wan Yanchang said after pondering for a moment.

"Grand Master, I am willing to lead troops to burn down the camps of the Han people! You are in the city, if you see the Han people in chaos, you can lead the troops out again." Jin Wushu said.

Wan Yanchang thought for a long time, finally nodded and agreed.

"I'm going to prepare now!" Jin Wushu laughed.

"No! Our soldiers are fast asleep, so we are not prepared at all! Wait until tomorrow night, and then we will use this plan of setting fire to the company camp!" Wan Yanchang said.

"Okay!" Although Jin Wushu was in a hurry, he also knew what Wan Yanchang said was right, so he agreed immediately.
