Chapter 200
Although Li Zhu and Fang Han are suspected of asking for credit, Song Qing really wants to hear what they can say, which is not a test for them.
Li Zhu pleaded guilty to Song Qing, then opened the map given to Song Qing and pointed to the map and said, "Jing Zhaofu was originally the capital of the previous dynasty. In the past, not to mention Deng Yuanjue only led 50,000 horses to besiege it, that is, 100,000 troops attacked. It is still difficult to break through under the condition of adequate preparation in the city, not to mention the war, the year of the city wall After a long time of disrepair, many places have collapsed, and Deng Yuanjue's people and horses are not rabbles. How can they not be able to attack for a long time? So I asserted that he must have a conspiracy"
Hearing this, Song Qing did look at Li Zhu with some new eyes. The information he got was only about the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, but he had never had a wall. If Li Zhu said, Deng Yuanjue probably dug a hole for himself in front of him.
It seems that he really underestimated the enemy. Thinking of this, Song Qing's expression also became solemn and motioned Li Zhu to continue.
Seeing Song Qing attaching importance to his statement, Li Zhu couldn't help but cheer up and continued: "We are going to Jingzhao Mansion. There were originally two roads. We will go down along the road in front of us. After crossing Weishui, we will go straight to Jingzhao Mansion through Lishan Mountain. The other one is a little farther, that is to take a detour from Xianyang through Weishui to Jingzhao Mansion."
"Now that Jingzhao Mansion is in danger, Deng Yuanjue will definitely think that we are eager to rescue Jingzhao, so if I were him, I would definitely set an ambush in Lishan Mountain and catch us off guard. Therefore, I suggest that Chitose take a detour to Xianyang. Although it is farther away, it is not dangerous."
At this time, Song Qing's thinking has extended along with Li Zhu's prompt.
Deng Yuanjue, known as Baoguang Buddha, is one of Fang La's most reliable figures. Martial arts and strategy are the best choice, and at the same time, he has a grudge against himself. Will he only use such a simple plan to deal with himself?
The art of war is cloudy, and the truth is true, and the truth is false. Virtual reality is the way to win.
Old monk, I admit that I underestimate you, but I'm afraid you also underestimate me.
After discussing with the two for a while, Song Qing asked them to go back to rest, and then ordered Li Jun to lead the navy to Weinan to meet him. Then the people and horses walked along the Wei River, that is, they did not go to Lishan or Xianyang.
There are not many people in Deng Yuanjue, and it is impossible to surround himself. What he relies on is nothing more than a sudden attack. Now he leads troops and land to protect himself as a horn. I'm afraid it is unlikely that he wants to raid himself again.
Through this incident, Song Qing felt that Li Zhu was thoughtful and seemed to be more suitable for Zhu Wu. Fang Han still needs to continue to observe.
As Li Zhu said, Deng Yuanjue did not attack the city with all his strength. He was waiting for Liang Shan's rescuers. According to Song Qing, he was also playing the trick of besieging and helping.
What he now uses to attack the city are all the people who are threatened, and his most elite 40,000 troops are hidden in the dense forest on the banks of the Weishui River. Across the river is the ferry from Xianyang to Beijing Zhaofu.
Deng Yuanjue hated Song Qing, but he did not lose his mind. He knew that if these 50,000 horses went too deep into Hebei, they were likely to be made dumplings by Liangshan people, so he chose Jingzhao Mansion, which is very close to Henan. At the same time, it is not within Liangshan's sphere of influence.
And if Fang La's side is going well, he will be able to attack Liangshan's back after the destruction of Song Dynasty. At that time, Liang Shan's head and end will be difficult to take care of, and Deng Yuanjue can also take advantage of the situation to suddenly come to Hebei.
When Deng Yuanjue learned from the scouts that it was Song Qing himself who rushed to Beijing Zhaofu, he was simply ecstatic. He has been waiting for this day for two years.
Outsiders are fascinated by Liang Shan and Song Qing's biography, but in Deng Yuanjue's view, Song Qing is just lucky. If he really fights himself with a real knife and a gun, he will never be happy.
However, when Deng Yuanjue learned from the scout that Song Qing did not take two roads, but went hand in hand with the water army, he couldn't help looking at Song Qing high and could actually guess his own ambush. It seemed that there were really two.
Song Qing has 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 navy troops, and his strength is comparable to his own. But most of them are infantry on their side, so if they fight against them, they will still suffer losses.
Deng Yuanjue pondered for a long time, and then ordered the army to set up a large camp according to the terrain. They all said that Liangshan firearms were powerful and had to take some corresponding precautions. There should be more fire prevention equipment in the camp, and the distance between the tents should also be increased to prevent the fire from being connected in series.
At the same time, following the example of Song Qing's trick of breaking the golden soldiers outside Jinan, digging horseshoe pits on the road and setting up various roadblocks to slow down the impact of the cavalry.
After Song Qing got the news, he couldn't help laughing. It was all left by himself. Can't the old monk make some creativity by himself?
ordered the army to move forward slowly. At the same time, he ordered Huarong to lead 5,000 iron horses out of the camp at night, bypass hundreds of miles out of Lishan, and raid the miscellaneous troops sent by Deng Yuanjue to pretend to be siege the city, and first relieve the siege of Beijing Zhaofu.
The general responsible for leading 10,000 Fangla regular army and 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers is the general of Fang La's cavalry.
In fact, General Chang has long been tired of this kind of fake siege. Although the defenders are heroic, the leaking walls could not be completely defended at all. If it hadn't been for the strict order of the national division, he would have taken people into the city.
I heard that the national division had stopped the Liangshan people on the banks of the Weishui River. General Chang knew that he could let go of his hand to attack the city, but he promised his brothers to loot it. If he didn't do it, the soldiers should not obey the command.
In fact, this is also what he discussed with the national teacher. Once Liangshan people and horses appear, he must attack the city in the shortest time, and then rely on the city wall to drag Liangshan people and horses to buy time for the Holy Duke.
Just after breakfast, Changsheng ordered people to blow the trumpet to gather the team and tell them that they would press on the whole line today in order to attack the city in one fell swoop. The first person to enter the city, the beautiful woman was chosen by him, and the silver was robbed by him.
With this order, the soldiers immediately jumped at the wall like chicken blood.
Seeing the enemy attacking the city so unscrupulously, Sima Xiahou Chengzhen on the wall was almost desperate. The reinforcements of the court could not point it out, but didn't he say that King Liang would send troops to save it? Why is there not even a shadow?
Anyway, the city is full of fellow villagers of the same origin. They must not see them being harmed by the turbulent soldiers, and the city is dead.
Just as Xiahoucheng organized the military and civilians's desperate resistance, a soldier called him.
"Your Excellency, look, what is that in the distance?"
Although the wall of Jingzhaofu is dilapidated, it used to be the imperial capital, and many places are still very high. Therefore, the officers and soldiers in the city can stand high and look far.
Xia Houcheng looked up, but as far as he could see, there seemed to be a green line moving. Recently, he finally saw a group of cavalry in light green military uniforms, and the most eye-catching was the apricot yellow flag in the army.
Xiahou Cheng suddenly woke up and it was Liang Shan's reinforcements. It turned out that King Liang had already sent reinforcements, waiting for the best time to attack.
Thinking of this, Xiahoucheng couldn't help shouting, "Brothers, Liang Wang Qiansui sent troops to save us!" We are saved! Kill these traitors fiercely, kill them!"
Xia Houcheng's shout was like a needle of stimulant, which instantly brought back the defenders who had shown signs of defeat. He summoned up the rest of his strength to fight with the prosperous soldiers.
In order to attack the city in one fell swoop, Changsheng almost sent all the people up, with less than 1,000 guards around him. In his opinion, Liangshan has been blocked by the national division, and it is impossible for other troops to appear here.
However, when the iron hooves of 5,000 war horses stepped on the ground and formed a slight earthquake-like vibration, the souls of prosperity could not help but emerge.
Fools can hear that this is a brigade of cavalry running, and there are not so many cavalry under the command of the national division, so there is only one explanation left, Liangshan cavalry.
Not to mention that the army is attacking the city, even if you are prepared, you may have to escape if you encounter a brigade of cavalry with these miscellaneous troops.
There was no time to gather his men. Changsheng turned the horse's head and was the first to escape. Behind him are less than a thousand guards.
As for the more than 10,000 men who are attacking the city, please ask for more blessings!
At this time, the army that was attacking the city also saw the approaching Liangshan iron horse. These miscellaneous troops did not need to summon at all. They changed from an offensive state to a state of escape, and scattered their feet and fled like headless flies.
Five Liangshan iron riders are all veterans who have had countless combat experience. Without Hua Rong conveying specific orders, they immediately divided them into three strands, copied two breads, and attacked head-on. Kill these defeated soldiers.
It is difficult for these prosperous miscellaneous soldiers to attack the city, let alone meet the tiger and wolf-like Liangshan iron riders. Seeing the opportunity, he knew how to kneel and surrender, escape or resist, either his head was cut off or trampled into mud.
Is this war? It's just a massacre. After the war, less than 3,000 people survived the surrender, and the remaining 10,000 people became ghosts.
But I saw the corpses in Jingzhaofu City all over the field and blood flowed into a river.
And those prisoners became the best labor force, responsible for burying their former colleagues under the supervision of Liang Shan soldiers.
Xiahoucheng went out of the city to thank Huarong, but was told that Fangla's rebels were likely to return and must strengthen the city walls and prepare for war. This Liangshan people will stay to help defend the city until the rebels are completely eliminated.
Xiahoucheng was shocked to hear that the rebels would come again, but when he heard that Liangshan people would stay to help defend the city, he was immediately relieved.
While organizing the people to repair the broken wall, he prepared tents for Liangshan people.
In fact, Deng Yuanjue already had the idea of retreating after knowing that Song Qing sent troops to attack the prosperous people, and it was impossible to come back to attack the city.
This is only Song Qing's first step in controlling Jingzhaofu.
Deng Yuanjue is really in a dilemma now. The chances of success in attacking Song Qing are slim. Retreat is also unlikely, because Song Qing's people and horses have set up camp, and his measures now look like a child's play, which has no effect on Liang Shan's people and horses at all.
If he withdraws, the Liangshan people will definitely follow him. You don't have to think about the consequences of the infantry against the cavalry.
What should I do?
Deng Yuanjue's thoughts in trouble couldn't help flying to Fang La.
"Holy Lord, how's the war over there? Can you draw troops to attack Liangshan's back road and solve my danger?"
