I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

At this moment, the city of Yingzhou was devastated. After a great battle, almost no intact houses could be found, and the streets were filled with wailing wounded soldiers.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and the only commander-in-chief in Yingzhou City could not be found.

When the Khitan people climbed up the city wall, no one had any extra thoughts to care about others. At that time, they no longer needed to read the instructions, they could only chop forward with all their strength.

After the Khitan people retreated, Wang Quan also disappeared.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a pair of broken armor among a pile of rotten meat whose appearance was unclear.

For a time, the entire Yingzhou City was gloomy and demoralized.

In a relatively intact house, Cai You called all the school officials and said: "General Wang has died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country. As a soldier, he can serve the country with his own life. How magnificent is it to be wrapped in horse leather?"

Cai You's teeth were itching with anger in his heart. If Wang Quan was still alive, he would have wanted to take a bite. If he hadn't violated the military order, how could he be in jail now?

But his face still remained sad, "General Zhuangzai". Cai You shouted.

"The general is so strong." The colonel shouted sparsely below.

"Everyone here is the mainstay of our army. What should we do next? Let's discuss a charter!"

Cai You sat aside and watched their discussion.

One of the captains said: "My lord, the Khitans have been fighting with our army for a while, and it feels bad to think about it. They just want Yingzhou. If we give Yingzhou city to them, we won't kill them all!"

"Ha." Cai Youpi said with a smile: "The Khitan people are eager for us to leave the city. Now they will agree to any request. The Khitan has tens of thousands of cavalry. Without the protection of the city, who of you can withstand the charge of the cavalry? Pig Brain.”

The scolded captain lowered his head and sat down. In order to dispel their thoughts of escaping, Cai You said: "This time the Khitans have come for revenge. The Pishi army that was chasing us earlier was completely wiped out. The leader of the army is surrounding us outside the city." Xiao Zhan’s son.”

If there was a way to survive by surrendering, Cai You would have surrendered long ago. Xiao Zhan obviously wanted to avenge his son, and secretly yelled in his heart, Liu Sheng, you killed me, just be cannon fodder and stop the Khitans, why bother?

Although everyone has many doubts, such as, who annihilated the Pishi Army? Will they come to support? ...But looking at Cai You's cold face, no one dared to ask questions.

At this time, Wang Zhen came in with a page in his hand and said: "Mr. Sir, the statistics are out."

"This time our army suffered no less than 4000 casualties, and about [-] of them were still able to fight. Most of the casualties were killed by the Khitan people's stone bullets and kerosene."

Wang Zhen paused and said, "In addition, our army only has five thousand pairs of infantry armor including damaged ones, and there are not many weapons and arrows left."

"Hiss!" Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. The Khitan people had only one strong attack and actually destroyed more than half of the city's defense force.

Looking at the somewhat panicked people, Cai You took a deep breath and comforted them: "Everyone, don't worry. The Khitans are throwing stones without restraint. I guess they don't have any extra."

Then he looked at Wang Zhen and said, "Excluding those who were burned to death by stone bullets and kerosene, how many casualties did our army have in the battle with the Khitan?"

Wang Zhen glanced at Cai You, turned the page and said, "It's less than two thousand." Then he said: "According to the corpses discarded by the Khitan, we killed about [-] Khitan soldiers."

"Hiss" was another breath of cold air. The officers could not sit still. They hacked to death [-] Khitan soldiers at the cost of [-] casualties.

Looking at everyone's performance, Cai You nodded to Wang Zhen with satisfaction and said: "I have said before that our allies are holding a large number of Khitan soldiers in the north, and those who are attacking are only garrison troops from various states, and their combat power is not strong. "

The officers regained their confidence again, and some people worried: "But our army has suffered more than half of its casualties, and the number of heavy armors it relies on is seriously insufficient. There are still Khitan cavalry wandering outside the city. In the end we..."

Someone complained: "Why didn't we just go back at the beginning? Why did we wait here for the Khitan soldiers?"

Knowing that there was no way to survive, some people began to complain. Cai You looked at the people in the field and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Has our Song Army fallen to this?

A group of military generals turned out to be a group of cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

But he forgot that during the defeat of Yunzhou, the captain who died trying to stop the Khitan soldiers was killed, and the Song army captain who tried to counterattack at Sanggan River.

The captains who were not afraid of death and dared to fight were all killed by the Khitan's butcher's knife with his own hands. You can imagine what the rest were like.

Steadying the anger in his heart, Cai You said in a displeased tone: "You don't have to speculate on the official's plan to let us stay in Yingzhou. In addition, we are not alone. Reinforcements will arrive soon. We should guard more." There is always hope.”

Everyone was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Where did the reinforcements come from? Is it the team that defeated the Pishi Army?"

Cai You remembered the two letters sent out on the eve of the war. He wondered what arrangements Cai Jing would make. Will he exchange a lot of benefits for his son?

Or are the border troops considering sending troops to rescue for the sake of the overall situation? Everything is unknown.

"Okay." Cai You interrupted everyone: "I've finished chatting. Now let's think about how to defend the city."

The young general standing aside saw no one speaking and said: "Mr. Sir, we cannot defend this city. Even if the Khitan people are garrison troops, they are not comparable to our current army. They can fight until now because of the original The border troops and heavy armor that were transferred are now seriously damaged in the battle and their armor is uneven, so we can't fight."

"Presumptuous." Before Cai You could say anything, another school officer slapped the table and stood up: "Generals haven't spoken yet. You, a little general, are just here to listen. You have no right to speak. You are still talking nonsense here." To confuse the crowd, this person must be a trick of the Khitans to shake the morale of our army, and the general will suggest..."

"Shut up," Cai You scolded the person who spoke, and then comforted him: "Don't panic, young general. Speak slowly. No one will blame you if you make a mistake."

The young general took a look around and said: "The Khitans have more troops than us. The city wall of Yingzhou is too big and there are too many places to guard. Our heavy armor is not suitable for defending the city. Moving back and forth to carry the defense equipment will consume a lot of energy. .

The most important thing is that we don't know where the Khitans will rush from. If we open a city gate, the Khitans will rush in desperately. At that time, we only need to hold the city gate, and the pressure will be much less. If there are many Khitan soldiers coming in, we can also throw kerosene into the city gate hole. "

"How do you know that if you open a city gate, the Khitans will not climb the city wall?" Cai You asked after thinking for a long time.

"I didn't say that the Khitans can't climb the city wall, but relatively speaking, the Khitans won't stare at the city wall, and the pressure on the city wall defenders will be much less."

"It's a joke. Open the city gate to meet the enemy. I have never heard of this strategy in ancient times. So the Khitan cavalry are vegetarians? The city gate is wide open. How can I stop the Khitan cavalry from charging in?"

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "I have seen that the Khitan cavalry are all light cavalry. The city gate of Yingzhou can accommodate up to four cavalry advancing abreast. It cannot speed up at all. Just put some obstacles to stop it."

Cai You saw that the young man was answering questions in an orderly manner and was not surprised by honor or disgrace. He seemed to have a gap in his heart and couldn't help but shout "good".

"Do you have any other ideas?" Cai You looked at the crowd and saw that no one was talking to him. He snorted coldly again.

Cai You looked into the young man's eyes and asked, "If I entrust you with the defense of this city, will you be confident in holding it?"

The young man was silent for a while and said: "Three days, I can keep it for three days."

"What's your name?" Cai You asked.

The young man said: "Yue Fei, Yue Fei's Yue Fei, Yue Fei's flying."

"Interesting." Cai You stroked his beard and looked at Yue Fei going away.

After everyone dispersed, Wang Zhen on the side couldn't wait to walk up to Cai You and said: "My lord, you just trust that young man so much."

"You didn't see his eyes. If you did you would believe him."

It's not well written. If you can read it to the end, please give me a reminder. Thank you. If you have any good suggestions, I may not listen to them, but I will definitely read them.
