It was garrisoned by Han soldiers, laborers, and artisans from Hebei.
There are also three thousand Khitan and Xi infantrymen guarding the area.
These people were tasked with filling in the moat, building watchtowers, and constructing siege weapons.
To facilitate the deployment of siege equipment.
Not only did they not build barriers,
Furthermore, multiple gates of the stockade were opened.
"Dense fog today, be on guard against enemy attacks on the camp!"
General Xiao Zhonggong personally patrolled on horseback.
He warned all departments to be careful and vigilant.
He is such a conscientious and dedicated person.
This person is Emperor Tianzuo's cousin.
Emperor Tianzu fled east and west.
Xiao Zhonggong stayed by his side through thick and thin.
He was the last general to command troops before the fall of the Liao Dynasty.
Chapter 262 Taking Off Armor and Resting
Wu Qimai greatly appreciated his loyalty.
A series of promotions and titles,
He was also ordered to lead troops under Wanyan Zongwang.
To put it bluntly, they were pawns planted by the Jin emperor.
The wax pellet incident did not occur in this timeline.
Xiao Zhonggong had not yet truly risen to prominence in the Jin Kingdom.
"Send two hundred cavalrymen out,"
"Don't go too far."
"Simply maintain vigilance around the camp!"
Xiao Zhonggong continued to issue orders.
The camp leader will do his best.
The soldiers below, however, were complacent and unambitious.
Especially the Han soldiers, laborers, and artisans of Hebei,
I'm exhausted these days.
When Xiao Zhonggong came to inspect,
They pretended to perk up.
Once Xiao Zhonggong left,
They all found a place to lie down and rest.
The Khitan soldiers and the Xi soldiers were not too different.
They were relocated to Youzhou last year after their tribes were split up.
The first year of clearing land for farming yielded very little grain.
This year we finally managed to grow more grain.
However, the Jin dynasty ordered them to hand over most of it.
Moreover, the number of men conscripted into the army exceeded the prescribed limit.
Resentment was rampant among all ethnic groups.
If they could raid southwards, that would be one thing.
But the Han Chinese people along the way were all poor.
They didn't know if they could defeat the Ming army.
Morale is visibly declining day by day.
After Xiao Zhonggong left the camp,
The Khitan and Xi soldiers also found places to lie down.
Some soldiers complained that the armor was uncomfortable.
He even took off his nails to rest.
The siege lasted for many days without any surprises.
They didn't think the defending troops would dare to attack.
The two hundred cavalrymen sent out by Xiao Zhonggong
Faced with dense fog where visibility was only two or three meters,
I also don't have much of an interest in traveling around.
They only rode their horses back and forth near the stockade walls.
"Is there any movement?"
"It sounds like footsteps. Listen more carefully."
"Enemy attack! Sound the horn immediately..."
The moment the bugle sounded,
Yue Fei and Li Shifu were two miles apart.
They mounted their horses almost simultaneously and shouted:
"All troops, mount your horses and charge in!"
"kill!"
The two men brought fewer than two thousand soldiers.
With shouts in unison,
The enemy forces also had no idea how many had come.
The Han soldiers, laborers, and artisans in Hebei were the most directly affected.
He got up and fled towards Wanyan Zongwang's camp.
Some people even fled towards the Xiaoshui River.
Planning to take advantage of the foggy weather,
Following the Xiao River towards the southern suburbs of Zhao Prefecture,
Then they went to seek refuge with the Ming army in Zhao Prefecture.
Those who desert in the face of battle will be executed!
Xiao Zhonggong reacted extremely quickly.
He personally led the enforcement team to kill the fleeing soldiers.
At the same time, he ordered the messenger to sound the horn to summon the Khitan and Xi troops.
The sound of the horn also alerted Wanyan Zongwang's camp in the distance.
Wanyan Zongwang immediately dispatched several thousand cavalry to provide assistance.
.....
Yue Fei commonly used five types of weapons in combat.
Bow, spear, lance, mace, knife.
Historical records state that Yue Fei was skilled in using an eighteen-foot-long iron spear.
It's actually a type of lance.
It can also be dramatically misrepresented as a ten-foot-long snake spear.
It is very similar to the four-meter-long spear of Heza Meng'an—the names of spear, lance, and lance have long been used interchangeably.
This was a raid on a camp.
It was foggy again.
A four-meter-long gun is not suitable.
Yue Fei only brought a bow, spear, and sword.
This is a spear that is neither too long nor too short.
It can be used with one hand.
Free up your other hand to hold the bow.
In the thick fog,
Visibility was extremely low.
The two hundred Khitan cavalrymen who went out to scout
Because they couldn't determine how many Ming troops had arrived.
They dared not allow friendly forces to open the gates without authorization.
So he shot an arrow into the depths of the fog.
Then they sped away, circling the stockade wall.
Chapter 263 The Power of the Oil Tank
The wooden fence of the camp could be vaguely seen.
Yue Fei rode his horse along the wooden fence.
Upon reaching the gate of the village, they dismounted.
An arrow was shot at a figure inside.
His cavalry,
They all followed suit and fired in unison.
Khitan soldiers guarding the gate
There were also archers at the nearby arrow tower (which was actually just a small earthen platform).
They returned fire, shooting arrows at them as if guided by instinct.
Fog spread,
Neither side can clearly see the enemy or our side.
The soldiers dismounted and, spear in hand, began to poke into the gate of the stockade.
Yue Fei used the enemy's shouts to pinpoint their location.
He kept drawing his bow and firing armor-piercing arrows.
One by one, figures fell, struck by arrows.
"Bang bang bang!"
Under the cover of his teammates, General Xu Qing,
The soldiers used axes to split open the pivot point of the village gate.
Then the group worked together to ram the object.
