Chapter 235 15

Wang Xiu was busy in another way, beckoning everyone to quickly take off their armor and change into the dry military uniforms they were carrying, so as to avoid cold, illness and weaken their combat effectiveness. At the same time. It was announced that as long as the armor and the remains of the war dead were not abandoned, under the premise that the war horse could bring, those silk and copper coins could be brought as much as they could, and they were all obtained by the officials themselves, which made the soldiers participating in the war very excited

They rested for a whole day, collected the horses left over from the outer battlefields, bought mules, horses and donkeys for the inhabitants of the city, burned the corpses of the war dead, put the ashes into the jar and carried them, and ate a good meal of wine and meat.

The fire was raging outside at night, and half of the sky was dyed red, and the temperature of the flames could be felt in the county.

Yang Xiong's reinforcements finally came, because he wanted to deter the Song army, he could not bring all the troops, only less than a thousand troops, looking at the sky full of firelight, listening to Chai Jin's story, he was immediately stunned.

The grain and grass are gone, the wealth is gone, how can Song Jiang's army eat, how can his thousands of people insist, even if they can hold on for a while, what can they do

To attack the county seat of Chengxian, the other party is a cavalry, and it is a cavalry wearing heavy armor, listening to Chai Jin's tone, the other party has nearly a thousand people, and it still occupies the county seat. Let him attack the county town with more than 1,000 people, in the situation where the strength is almost equal and the other party is still a cavalry, it is tantamount to a moth throwing fire and killing himself.

If he really can't take down the county town, he will definitely not be able to resist Zeng Xiaoli's army, although the old fox is dizzy, but there are still thousands of forbidden troops under his hands, plus the soldiers and horses of the military states, once the situation is figured out, he will face the crazy attack of this old fox, I believe that the shrinking turtles of the military states will shake their heads and become man-eating beasts, once there is a mistake, Song Jiang's main force will be attacked by the abdomen and back.

"What should I do" Yang Xiong had no choice but to ask Chai Jin, and the other party's illustrious background also made him heartbroken.

Chai Jin shook his head and said in embarrassment: "The other party's strength is unknown, and it occupies the county seat, we have no way to fight with them, now we can only collect a part of the residual grain and grass, hurry up to strengthen the defense of each village, deal with Zeng Xiaoyi, the old fox, we must hold on until Brother Gongming takes the Li Guojian." ”

"As I said, what are you doing with him, you have to levy 20,000 wastes to drag it down, and it is not better for thousands of our brothers to gallop the world and enter the Huaiyang Army as soon as possible." Yang Xiong complained for a while, he also disapproved of Da Xuzhou.

"Okay, my brother has his own plans." Chai Jin was frustrated for a while, what are you saying now, it's not all nonsense.

But he said that Wang Xiu did not plan to entangle with Yang Xiong and others, and he did not have time, at the moment when the fire ignited, Zeng Xiaoli and the Jingdong Military Prefecture Guards, if they didn't know what to do, then wait for the impeachment of Yushi

Everything that should be packed was packed, and the remaining copper coins and silk belongings were resealed, and the captured few officials were guarded and waited for the reception of the Liangshan leaders outside the city.

He also planned it, the burning that can't be taken away is a loser's behavior, or stay and let someone else take charge, this battle will come back if you win, and if you defeat it, you will lose it again, everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and it is good to save a little face in the nest, and you can't do everything

He gathered the officials who could come over, held a cremation for more than 30 war dead at the gate of the county government, and gave these warriors the highest courtesy, so that the living people knew that they would also have this kind of treatment when they died in battle, and after the benefits came personal honor, and no one would refuse decent honor.

The sky has just brightened, well, it should be the moment of sunrise in the east, the residents of the county town cautiously opened the door to watch, and the figures of the imperial court soldiers and horses had long been gone.

Chai Jin and Yang Xiong entered the city, and listened to the officials tell that there were only a few hundred soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and their faces were extremely exciting. Standing in front of the unsealed warehouse, looking at the neat copper coins and silk silks, they were speechless for a long time.

"Which envoy of the imperial court, hundreds of people broke my village of more than 2,000 people, and left the remaining wealth, terrible, really terrible" Thinking about the sharp offensive, Chai Jin let out a long sigh.

The official said cautiously, "It seems that someone said that the Lord of the Supervisor and the Lord of the State Supervisor of the State of Li." ”

"Wang Xiu." Chai Jin's face changed, and he looked at Yang Xiong in shock.

"My brother led a large army to besiege Li Guojian, Wang Xiu actually sent light troops to burn grain and grass, it was really brave and strategic" Yang Xiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, grain and grass, grain and grass, hundreds of people went deep behind the enemy to burn grain, it was really daring.

Chai Jin was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "Not only is he brave and strategic, this person is really a fierce opponent if he lifts his weight lightly and has a good way to make trade-offs." ”

"How do you say that," Yang Xiong said in confusion.

"Don't you see the inventory, you still need to ask." Chai Jin's face was worried, and his tone was very impatient.

Yang Xiong frowned slightly, and gradually his face became solemn, and he said solemnly: "I'm afraid that my brother will have some twists and turns when he attacks Li Guojian." ”

"Don't worry, my brother has an absolute advantage, and there is no suspense in winning a county in a few days." Chai Jin said lightly.

Chai Jin was right, in order to quickly take down the Li Guojian, Song Jiang changed his attitude to harass the people, requisitioned a large number of local strong men, and formed an army of nearly 30,000 people, which was the strongest force he had since Liangshanbo.

Although these strong men are poorly equipped and don't even have leather armor to protect themselves, they are also armed with knives and guns, and they can fill in the small city of Liguojian with human lives.

When Wang Xiu returned to Liguo from Chengxian, he stopped in Yizhou. It was not that he was intercepted, but that he encountered something more helpless than interception, Song Jiang's army had arrived, set up seventeen camps, surrounded the city of Liguojian, and was clearing the perimeter to attack the city, so that he could not enter the city.

"Song Jiang started really fast, it seems that he has just arrived and launched an offensive, I shouldn't have stayed in Chengxian overnight" Wang Xiu regretted a little.

It seems that when the fire broke out, the other party's scouts began to transmit military information, causing Song Jiang to accelerate the attack on the city. It seems that the other party also understands that the grain and grass are gone, and there is only hope if they quickly take down the Li Guojian and then go south to capture Pengcheng.

He realized that he had insufficient combat experience, and he should have burned his baggage and returned to the village, and he should not think too much about it.

"Sir, get in at night." Feng Yuan said softly on the side, but his tone was very firm. "Then prepare, there are still a few hours of genius dark, take advantage of their dinner to do a vote." Wang Xiu smiled heartily, but it was very dangerous to be close to the battlefield, not to mention a few hours, it could be discovered by scouts at any time. "I'll be the front." Jing Bo's eyes were blazing, and his face was murderous
