Two hundred and ninety-nine Sun Ziyi in distress
Su Yonglin was very convinced that he did not need to attack in this situation, and the Jin soldiers in the city would definitely send people to attack him.
Sure enough, on the third night after that, the Jin soldiers in the city couldn't help it.
Seeing the rapid development of the project of the Allied Forces outside the city, they could not bear it and forced out of the city to attack at night.
As a result, he was noticed by the big yellow dog when he was crossing the horse.
A dog yelled, and almost all the dogs yelled, yelling like a bunch of people. Not to mention humans, ghosts can be scared to wake up.
The sneak attack troops thought they had been discovered and panicked. They immediately forgot the tactics and tactics and turned around and fled with a loud voice.
The guards were instantly alert at night, and a volley of bows and crossbows shot over. When the Jin soldiers fled, many people fell into the moat and drowned. They were defeated and returned home in a miserable defeat, and they could not even pass the blockade line.
Wugu was completely panicked now.
He felt that if he didn't take the initiative, he could only wait for the water to flood the Jinshan Mountain, and he would be trapped to death with everyone in the city.
However, if you have to take the initiative, it will be too difficult and the losses will be great. There are not many troops in the city, and there is absolutely not enough to take the initiative without any restraint.
He never thought about this dilemma option before.
He never expected that as the city defender, he would have a tangle about whether to attack or not. He no longer looked like a city defender, but rather like a city attack and his offense and defense had changed.
War is so wonderful.
While Wugu was worried about the worries, Sun Ziyi also became alert to the arrival of the Jin cavalry because he received Su Yonglin's intelligence warning. They strengthened the camp and built the camp into a stronghold that could defend against combat.
Then he started the mode of siege but not attacking, intending to drag the Jin cavalry to the city of Hejian to fight the war of attrition.
Sun Ziyi believed that the Jin army's cavalry was elite, but if he did not go out to fight the Jin army in field, the Jin army would certainly not force him to fight the field. In this way, just use Hejian City as bait and fight a war of attrition with the Jin army here.
His troops were far superior to the Jin army. He believed that with these troops, even if they were consumed, they could consume the Jin army. The limits of infantry and cavalry were changed. No matter how you look at it, it would be a profit from infantry, or a big profit.
However, Wanyan Alin is not a fool. He is very smart and has good mathematics. Sun Ziyi can calculate the accounts clearly. Of course, he can also figure them out, so he will never fight a war of attrition with Sun Ziyi.
Through investigation, Wanyan Alin learned that Sun Ziyi was surrounded by Hejian City but did not attack, and instead strengthened the camp. He was very stance to stick to it for a long time, so he knew that his whereabouts should be known by the other party.
The other party decided to use Hejian City as a bet and fight a decisive battle with him.
If we cannot fight in field battles, the cavalry's advantage over infantry will not be that great. Wanyan Alin would not be so stupid as to use such precious mobile elite troops and a large number of Restoration Army to fight the war of attrition.
The idea of letting the Restoration Army and the Hejian City defenders consume each other's strength was shattered. Wanyan Alin felt that he could not continue to wait and had to start the war as soon as possible, give full play to the maneuverability advantages of the cavalry and do something.
We can't let the Liberation Army really drag down time so far, and there are no living people in Hejian City. Even if we can defeat them, his strategic goal will be a failure.
The Restoration Army wants to fight a war of attrition in Hejian City, then...
Just cut off his retreat, rob his food channels, and destroy his food reserves, so that he can force him to come out and fight a strategic decisive battle, right?
So Wanyan Alin decided to send troops to take a detour to the rear of Sun Tzu Yi's army to do something.
On November 13, Wanyan Alin dispatched two thousand elite cavalry to move south from Mozhou, bypassed the main force of the Restoration Army of Hejian Prefecture, turned a corner and headed south, and without much defense, successfully advanced south to Hejian Prefecture.
Then they tortured the location of the Liberation Army's food and grass camp by capturing the soldiers of the Liberation Army.
So two thousand elite cavalrymen rushed to the camp of the Restoration Army's food and grass.
Although the garrison of the Grain and Grain Camp was not relaxed, it failed to withstand the Jin army's raid in the early morning. After a fierce battle, the army was almost wiped out. The Grain and Grain Camp was burned and a large amount of food was burned.
On November 16, two thousand elite cavalry of the Jin army headed north.
On November 18, two thousand elite cavalry drove prisoners of war to appear behind the camp of the Restoration Army in Hejian Prefecture, causing a violent shock to the camp of the Restoration Army.
The grain and grass camp was destroyed, the rear route was cut off, and there were only seven days of grain reserve in the military camp, which could not bear the long battle.
At the same time, Wanyan Alin and the main force of the Jin army also appeared in the north of Hejian City, forming a force of attacking north and south with the two thousand commandos, forming a loose encirclement of the camp of the Lightning Restoration Army, but the same is true, surrounding without attacking.
They simply set up camp, as if they were waiting for the Restoration Army to take the initiative, or they could run out of their food and starve to death after a few days.
When Sun Ziyi learned about this situation, he was shocked. He did not expect that his retreat would be cut off by the Jin cavalry and the food camp was destroyed. He regretted that he had not sent more troops to guard the food camp.
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless to regret.
Sun Ziyi knew that he had only seven days. If he could not make a bloody path within seven days, then what was waiting for him would be wiped out.
So he decided to take the risk and sent his elite infantry cavalry to form a formation to attack the Jin cavalry in the south of the camp, trying to open up the road to the south and reopen the supply line.
However, when the Liberation Army attacked, the Jin army retreated. When the Liberation Army attacked again, the Jin army still retreated, but did not fight with the Liberation Army, but just kept the Liberation Army away.
They just don't fight, they just keep going back and hanging from afar.
The one who commanded this elite cavalry was Sun Ziyi's beloved general Du Yongtao. He was tall and brave and brave. He was known as the number one brave general under Sun Ziyi and had a remarkable record.
But he also had trouble with the cunning Jin army, so he unconsciously went deeper into the south, away from the military camp, and forgot that Sun Ziyi must not stay away from the military camp.
When Wanyan Alin learned about the situation, he immediately sent three thousand cavalry to move quickly and directly detour to the rear of Du Yongtao's army, cutting off their way back to the camp, which shocked Du Yongtao and immediately rushed his army to return north.
Under the fluctuation of the army, the Jin cavalry gave good conditions for attack.
This time the Jin army did not give in, but launched a very sharp attack. The three thousand cavalry in the rear also chased after him, and the six thousand cavalry surrounded the five thousand Restoration Army.
They repeatedly rushed, constantly shooting the formation of the Restoration Army with bows and arrows, and went back and forth several times, trying to exhaust the Restoration Army's physical strength.
The formation of the Restoration Army was greatly shaken, and Du Yongtao sent instructions in time to barely stabilize the formation.
Du Yongtao knew that he had been plotted and the situation was not good at the moment. If he was not careful, the military formation would be destroyed. Once the military formation was destroyed, everything would be stopped.
He ordered all the crossbowmen in the military formation to output firepower to continue to attack.
Because the infantry and crossbows have a long range and still have a certain deterrent effect on the cavalry, the Jin cavalry did not achieve very favorable results for a while, but did not retreat and continued to repeatedly attack and harass him.
Du Yongtao was unable to bear the disturbance and felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. He began to try to command the army formation to continue to move northward, slowly advancing to the Jin army backward, and trying to get closer to the camp.
However, after realizing the actions of this army, the Jin cavalry began to launch a more proactive attack.
Many soldiers of the Restoration Army fell under the rain of arrows from the Jin army, and many Jin cavalry were hit by the counterattack of the Restoration Army, fell off their horses, and trampled into a pile of rotten meat.
The two sides suffered damage to each other at this stage, but the Restoration Army could no longer continue to advance north and was dragged down by the Jin army.
Seeing this, Du Yongtao gritted his teeth and simply ordered the military formation to remain unmoved and wait for reinforcements here to rescue the camp.
A small number of cavalrymen, as counterattacking forces, were protected in the infantry formation, ready to wait for reinforcements to come and maintain the counterattacking power.
He believed that when things got to this point, the reinforcements of the camp would not come, so it was OK to wait for reinforcements here.
Indeed, when Sun Ziyi saw that Du Yongtao's army was trapped, he immediately organized troops to go out to respond.
Another brave general Xue Li led another 5,000 people to attack, preparing to respond to Du Yongtao's troops, but before he could be led, Xue Li's army was surrounded by a Jin cavalry and was given for free.
The two Jin cavalry attacked the surrounded infantry formation, and the Xueli army, like Du Yongtao's army, fell into a hard battle and struggled to support it.
