Chapter 131: Fierce Battle at Ancient Wuyan City
Zhe Jishi led his troops away in the morning, and Wang Shao was not untied until the evening.
This untying made our Lord Wang so angry that he jumped up and down. He wanted to curse a few more times, but he also knew that the Zhe brothers were doing this to protect him, so he swallowed the words back.
In the end, he could only say angrily: "This is just the first time, and it won't happen again. If you do it again, I will not only lose my head but will also report you to the emperor!"
Hearing Wang Shao's threat, Zhe Jizu knew that the matter was over. He smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.
"But we can't just sit there and wait for death, watching Jishi's army advance alone."
"So, you can lead your troops to the Great Wu Shenliu Dui and create a feint attack on the Naiwang Well. This will alleviate the pressure on Jishi's survey line to a certain extent."
"In Hongzhou, I have ordered the army to follow the general's instructions and work in three shifts, attacking day and night in rotation, so that the enemy soldiers in the city cannot turn north to threaten Jishi's retreat."
Wang Shao's words made Zhe Jizu nod heavily in agreement.
"Also, after the ambush at Tuotuokou, I think the Xixia can probably guess the whereabouts of the governor. You should also take the covering troops from Helanyuan with you."
"Yes!"
Zhe Jizu clasped his fists and saluted, then took the military order and left the general's tent.
Seeing the other party leave, Wang Shao leaned over and began to rub the map with a headache.
"Mi Qinmingqian, you son of a bitch, please be a little more cowardly. Just stay in Youzhou and don't move. This way, it will be good for you, me, and everyone else..."
. . . . . .
Two days later, on a dark and windy night, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the ancient Wuyan City beside the Hunzhou River.
Zhe Jishi was riding on a tall horse, looking at the not-so-tall city wall in the distance, his eyes lit up.
"Lao Luo, come and see."
Zhe Jishi waved his hand and called his deputy general Luo Liang to his side.
"What's wrong, Second General?"
Luo Liang was born in Danzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture. He was adopted by the Zhe family since he was a child. As Zhe Jishi's personal guard, he became the second-in-command of this army.
Therefore, in terms of address, it is customary to call Zhe Jizu the General and Zhe Jishi the Second General, which is a more intimate term.
"I think the weather tonight is good, suitable for diving. Find a few smart people and go wade in the water."
Hearing that Zhe Jishi was about to attack the city upon arrival, Luo Liang asked in a puzzled voice, "Second General, you are in such a hurry. I'm afraid the soldiers below are not slacking off."
Zhe Jishi shook his head lightly, not getting angry: "Lao Luo, as the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. The city defense is at its weakest right now. If we miss this opportunity, I will not be able to bear it!"
"But Lord Wang and the general... just want to create a feint attack, and they didn't ask the second general to capture the ancient Wuyan City?" Lao Luo reminded in a low voice.
"A general on the battlefield is not bound by his sovereign's orders. If Gu Wuyan City's defenses were strong, I wouldn't have to do such an unreasonable thing. But now their defenses are weak. If not now, when will we take them?"
Zhe Jishi's tone darkened and he placed his big hand on Luo Liang's shoulder.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Liang immediately responded, "Yes, Second General, I will gather our men and conduct an investigation."
Zhe Jishi nodded, watched Luo Liang leave, and then his eyes turned to the torches in groups of three or two on the walls of the ancient Wuyan city.
Soon, the soldiers sent out to investigate brought back news that except for the patrol troops, everyone else in the city was sleeping peacefully with their clothes on, and there were no special circumstances.
Zhe Jishi and Luo Liang looked at each other and nodded secretly.
He then arranged for personnel to deal with the enemy soldiers defending the city and quietly opened the south gate of the ancient Wuyan city.
Just as Zhe Jishi saw the signal and was about to lead his troops into the city gate, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and immediately shouted loudly: "No, there is an ambush!!!"
The shout shook the earth and stopped the soldiers who were about to rush into the city gate.
This made Zhe Jishi secretly marvel in his heart. It was worthy of being a unit that had undergone military reform. The feeling of being able to obey orders and be under control was really comfortable.
The men in the dark, upon seeing this, immediately brandished their weapons and shouted, "We've been discovered! Attack with all your forces! Don't let the enemy escape!"
In an instant, countless torches were lit on the entire city wall and at the city gates, surrounding Zhe Jishishi's troops.
"How dare you! How dare you ambush your grandfather? Today I will take your head!!!"
"All the generals, listen to my orders. Follow me and capture the ancient Wuyan City!!!"
Zhe Jishi was a fierce general with a loud and powerful voice. He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, waved his lance and rushed straight towards the person in the dark.
Those who were standing nearby and in the distance heard about their general's bravery and courage, and rushed into the encirclement with swords and guns in hand, following Zhe Jishi.
"kill--!"
Seeing this, the man in the dark did not hesitate, and spurred his horse and raised his spear, charging straight towards Zhe Jishi who was coming to kill him bravely.
"Kill all these Song people for me!"
"Roar!" The Western Xia army roared and rushed towards the ferocious Song army with their weapons raised.
In less than a few breaths, the two sides collided like a torrent of steel.
Zhe Jishi wielded his horse spear with great force, easily deflecting several Western Xia soldiers who were charging towards him.
Then he squeezed the horse's belly hard and dived straight towards a black figure riding out of the darkness.
"Damn it, go die for grandpa!!!"
Zhe Jishi's long roar spread throughout the entire battlefield. He was like a tiger out of a cage, carrying a terrifying momentum, and swept the lance in his hand across with force.
"Well done! Song Gou!"
The opponent refused to admit defeat, and he leaped onto his horse to gain leverage, thrusting the iron spear fiercely.
"boom--!"
A terrifying and dull explosion resounded throughout the venue. The soldiers standing nearby felt their ears buzzing, their eyes blurred, and two streams of blood dripped from their earlobes.
It was a sonic boom that injured the soldier's eardrum.
Seeing this, Deputy General Luo Liang swung his sword, breaking through the enemy troops who were trying to intercept him, and shouted in a deep voice: "All troops, charge into the city and engage in street fighting!!!"
This order immediately made the Song army look serious. They then gathered with the people around them, forming groups of ten, with five shield soldiers in each group, and went to the east, south, west and north.
Then the ten of them rushed forward together, using the inertia of their armor and weight to squeeze the Xixia soldiers who had not yet recovered from their shock, and rolled into the city gate together.
Seeing someone succeed, the Song army a little further away shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Then, groups of ten people quickly gathered together and rushed towards the city gate fearlessly.
By the time the Western Xia soldiers came to their senses, a hundred Song army vanguards had already squeezed into the city. After arbitrarily killing the enemy soldiers around them, nearly a hundred people did not hesitate, maintained their formation and dispersed, and went into various streets and alleys.
For a moment, all the Western Xia soldiers were at a loss as to what to do, and hurriedly divided into several groups to pursue.
As a result, the number of troops at the city gate was sharply reduced, and the Song army rushing outside became even more imposing. They used their shields and bodies to block some of the damage and pressed into the city fiercely.
Seeing this, the Western Xia army was completely thrown into disarray. The main general was entangled by Zhe Jishi, and the deputy general was killed in battle by Luo Liang, the first person they encountered.
The situation on the battlefield reversed in an instant. The ambush turned into an encounter, then into a street fight, and finally the command was completely lost and it turned into a chaotic battle.
The Western Xia could be said to have become like a headless fly. When they saw a small group of Song troops, they would press forward in an attempt to extinguish the opponent's offensive.
However, although the Song army was divided into groups of ten, there must be another group of Song army within ten meters nearby.
In this situation, it seemed that the Western Xia army surrounded the Song army, forming a huge net, but in fact the entire battle formation had already been cut into pieces by the Song army groups that had turned into points, and it was impossible to form an effective offensive.
Luo Liang had already led his troops into the city, killing anyone they saw without mercy, and directly penetrated the city gate defenses.
As if it was not enough, he led his troops out of the city for the second time. This time, most of the city gates were cleared and the Xixia people did not dare to block the city gates anymore.
Seizing the opportunity, the Song army soldiers shouted in unison: "Charge!"
"kill--!"
“The city has been broken—!”
"kill--!"
The Song army, blood-thirsty, just raised their swords and swung them down. The rest was the job of the logistics inspection team and had nothing to do with them.
The Xixia general who heard the screams not far away had a dark look in his eyes and waved the iron spear in his hand wildly, trying to break through Zhe Jishi's siege and escape to command the army.
"Damn it, you're quite strong, but you still underestimate your grandfather!"
Zhe Jishi's slightly dark face suddenly tightened, and the strength in his hands increased several times. He directly covered the opponent and chopped down fiercely.
"Bang——!"
The dull sound rang out again, and the opponent's palm felt numb, and he felt that he could not hold the iron spear steadily.
“Come again!!!”
Seeing that his opponent was able to take the blow, Zhe Jishi tensed his muscles under his armor again, and clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly. As the horse neighed in pain, he swung the lance like a windmill and smashed it down again fiercely.
not good!
The Xixia general's face darkened as he felt the ferocity of the blow coming straight at his face, causing the skin on his large face to tremble.
"rise--!"
The opponent was also enraged, and let out a heart-wrenching roar. He poured all his strength into the big iron spear in his hand and charged forward.
"boom--!"
This time it was no longer the sound of metal clashing, but the sound of a huge bell that spread in all directions.
"puff--!"
As the roar died down, a sound of vomiting blood was heard. Upon closer inspection, it was the Xixia general with a face as white as gold paper.
On the other hand, Zhe Jishi's face was covered in blood, and steam-like breath rolled out of his nose. After a few breaths, the redness gradually faded.
"You have already lost this battle, so it is best to surrender quickly."
Zhe Jishi took a deep breath, pointed his lance at the other party with a calm expression.
"Ahem... What a great general of the Zhe family, what a great Song army! I really underestimated you."
The other party opened his bloody mouth and sneered at Zhe Jishi.
"So much nonsense!"
Zhe Jishi's eyes turned cold, and he clenched the lance in his hand and swept it. The opponent's head flew directly into the air and was then stabbed on the lance.
"If you have that much time, it's better to surrender early."
Throwing down a sneer, Zhe Jishi jumped on his horse and rushed straight to the city gate to meet Luo Liang.
"The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly--!"
Zhe Jishi's loud voice scored three goals, once again shocking the Western Xia army which was already in chaos.
Seeing their own heads impaled on horse spears, the Western Xia army in front of the city gate instantly lost their morale and stood there for a while, at a loss.
"Lao Luo, you deal with the surrendered soldiers here. I will lead the troops to support the scattered soldiers in the city. We must also protect the food and weapons in the city. This is the top priority."
When Zhe Jishi saw that the battle was inevitable, he immediately gave a call and rushed into the city, strangling the remaining Western Xia troops who were still fighting in the streets.
"General! Should we inform the Hongzhou front about the situation here?!"
Luo Liang remembered something and shouted immediately.
"Notice! Request the rear to send reinforcements to Guwuyan City as soon as possible. I've made a fortune in this battle! Hahahaha!"
Zhe Jishi's arrogant smile spread from the city, making the Song army at the city gate smile at each other. They also gained something in this battle.
After all, a feint attack turned into an annihilation war and a siege war, and even the ancient Wuyan City was captured in one battle. This has great strategic significance.
Now, not to mention the Hongzhou front, even Youzhou is in turmoil, and the entire Jianing Army is like a toothless tiger, being pinned down by the Song army and unable to move.
