Chapter 1582: Sweeping Liangshan (II)

Song Jiang still has a lot of trust in Wu Yong's ability to use this military advisor, after all, if Wu had not used this military advisor to plan for him, even if Liangshan was not annexed by Huang Chao, I am afraid that it would have been occupied by Yuan Shao long ago.

Therefore, seeing that Wu Yong didn't say a reason, Song Jiang didn't care too much, and only thought that Wu Yong was habitually cautious.

"Strategist, you're too worried, and no matter if Li Jing hasn't made any moves, what if he really comes? With the beacon tower and the three big villages, can Li Jing still fly over? ”

Song Jiang said with a smile, looking unimpressed.

Since the establishment of the Northern Han Dynasty, although Song Jiang was named the king of Liang, the position of the king of Liang was not good, and he was needed to block Li Jing in Beihai to prevent the Qin army in Beihai from intervening in the decisive battle of Hebei.

Song Jiang and Li Jing fought side by side, so they naturally knew how powerful Li Jing was, and they also knew that if the Qin army really came to attack, the words of the Liangshan army alone would not be able to stop the Qin army.

Therefore, Song Jiang was very wary of Li Jing, and under the advice of the military advisor Wu Yong, he made a lot of precautions in advance.

Song Jiang is at the junction of the Beihai Sea and the main road, set up dozens of beacons, once the Qin army sent troops to attack, the front line beacon towers will immediately warn the Liangshan army, so that the Liangshan army from the Qin army's sneak attack.

In addition, Song Jiang also set up three large camps on the place where he must pass, although it is impossible to block the Qin army, but it will at least play a certain role in hindering it, so that Song Jiang will not even have a chance to react.

In addition, there are 800 miles around Liangshan, thousands of harbors, easy to defend and difficult to attack waterways.

It was with this triple insurance that Song Jiang had the confidence to compete with Li Jing, and if he was really forced to be in a hurry, it would be a big deal to give up all the surrounding counties, bring all the troops back to Liangshan, and defend against the danger.

Can he, Li Jing, break through Liangshan?

Wu Yong also nodded after listening to Song Jiang's words, in his opinion, there is no problem with Liang Guo's defense arrangement, Li Jing is in a vast power, and it is absolutely impossible to break Liangshan's and triple insurance in half a month, right?

What Song Jiang and Wu Yong didn't know was that the triple insurance in their eyes also had a third way that was a bit useful, and the one, two, or two that had already been exposed would not work at all in Li Jing's place.

"Report ...... Qi Yu lord, there is an urgent report from the border, the Qin army launched a surprise attack on our army, only one night broke two large villages, the front-line defenders are struggling to defend the third big village, but the Qin army's offensive is too fierce, I am afraid it will not last long. ”

"What?"

After hearing this news, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were both struck by lightning, and the intelligence they had just read said that the Qin army had no abnormal movement, why was it that they were almost at the door of the house in the blink of an eye?

Song Jiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and then he grabbed the collar of the messenger and asked sharply, "Where is the beacon?" Why didn't the wolf smoke be lit and a warning was issued, so that the border troops had better prepare to meet the enemy? ”

"The Qin army came too suddenly, the front line was in chaos, and there were no brothers from the beacon tower who fled back, I'm afraid they were all righteous."

Song Jiang's biggest mistake was to set up the beacon tower in a grand manner, although its main purpose was to deter, but since Li Jing already knew about the existence of the beacon, it was naturally impossible for the wolf smoke to really ignite.

Li Jing sent Tai Shi Ci to lead three hundred elite archers, as well as the two grandmasters of the Black Ice Platform, Xuan Jian and Occult Sun, to attack and kill overnight, and quietly took all the beacon towers of the Liangshan Army.

Without the early warning of the beacon tower, the Liangshan army stationed at the border became blind, and it was already too late when the Qin army arrived at the doorstep.

Even if the large battalion is located in a dangerous place, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders who can defend the large battalion are only a few hundred after all.

Li Jing didn't need to send the strongest combat power of Ran Min out of the horse, only one Tai Shici, plus thousands of elites, broke through the two big villages of Liangshan overnight.

The reason why the third Dazhai was not breached was deliberately done by Li Jing, who was putting pressure on Song Jiang in this way and giving him time to gather his army and retreat.

"How so?"

Song Jiang's face was incredulous, just now he was still saying that Li Jing couldn't fly over, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that two of the three insurances were about to be broken.

The speed of this slap in the face is too fast.

Since the Qin army has already been killed, it also proves that the previous posture of stubbornness was only made to confuse the Liangshan army, so Li Jing's official purpose must be to eliminate the Liangshan army.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Jiang was also extremely frightened in his heart, he knew that Li Jing had always planned and then moved, and once he made a move, it meant that he was full of certainty.

"What to do? Strategist, what the hell should I do? Song Jiang asked anxiously.

Li Jing came too fast and fiercely, and Liang Shanjun was not prepared at all, and he was about to break the double insurance.

If this trend continues, Li Jing will break through the front line tomorrow and drive straight in, or he will appear in front of Song Jiang in three days, which makes Song Jiang almost have time to make any arrangements.

"Lord, don't panic first, don't Li Jing hasn't called yet, let's mess up ourselves."

Under Wu Yong's appeasement, Song Jiang also quickly calmed down, and after the two of them summed up for a long time, they still didn't think of anything to pay attention to, after all, time was too tight, even if Song Jiang's order could be conveyed, it was too late to implement it.

"It seems that we can only give up the major counties and concentrate our forces to defend Liangshanbo." Song Jiang said with a dejected face, he was originally going to be forced to use this trick in a hurry, but he never expected Li Jing to come, and he had already been forced to go back to Liangshan.

Song Jiang really didn't have the courage to fight a decisive battle with Li Jing, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was really not ordinarily strong, and even if the Liangshan army had more troops, the possibility of defeat was not small.

As for defending the city, Song Jiang didn't think about it at all.

Liang State does not have a big city except Liangshan City, and those small county towns are not suitable for defending at all, even if they are defended, they will not be able to stop the Qin army, and they will only be gradually eaten away by Li Jing.

Therefore, for the time being, giving up all the territory and retreating to Liangshanbo is undoubtedly the best choice for the Liangshan army.

Giving up all the territories outside of Liangshan City is undoubtedly a difficult decision for Song Jiang, after all, these are the family funds he has accumulated with great difficulty, and even Song Jiang will be heartbroken if he gives up them all.

Seeing Song Jiang's distressed look, Wu Yong persuaded: "Lord, you don't have to be like this, when Wang Mang's reinforcements arrive, Li Jing will definitely take the initiative to retreat, and the abandoned cities will all come back at that time." ”

Hearing this, Song Jiang suddenly shook his head and said excitedly: "Yes, how did I forget this." ”

The Qin army in Beihai was only more than 40,000 in total, and Li Jing dispatched a maximum of 30,000 troops this time, and after Wang Mang's reinforcements arrived, the Northern Han side had a full 80,000 troops, which was enough to crush Li Jing.

At that time, if Li Jing didn't want to annihilate the whole army, he would only have to retreat, and those abandoned cities would return to the hands of the Liangshan army again.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Jiang didn't feel heartache, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, assemble the whole army, and return to Liangshanbo immediately." ”

"No."

As Li Jing expected, Song Jiang really did not resist, so he would directly assemble the army and prepare to retreat to Liangshan to defend it.

And the defenders who were still defending the front line were naturally given up by Song Jiang.
