Chapter 330: Late Deputy Marshal

Xiao Ding and Song Yinzi sent troops to attack Qianling County, arranged for manpower to use the strategy of exhausting the army, and made the defenders in Qianling County toss all night, exhausted, and then began to attack the city at dawn.

Under the sharp offensive of the Lianzhu crossbow, the already beleaguered defenders in Qianling County were unable to defend the city at all, and there was no way.

As a result, in less than a morning, Song Yinbei saw that more than half of the defenders in the city were killed and wounded, and the waiting reinforcements were delayed, so he lost confidence and led the soldiers to abandon the city and flee.

After Xiao Ding led his troops into the city, he was very happy, and he did not send troops to chase down Song Yinbei's defeated army. Because the direction of Song Yinbei's escape was in the Da Yuling Valley to the south. If there is an ambush in the valley, it will be extremely disadvantageous to your own army.

Therefore, Xiao Ding just sent troops to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time ordered the two brothers Han Qi and Han Qi to lead thousands of soldiers to pick up the two brothers Yang Jingtian and Yang Jingze, as well as the fierce Yang Yueling female general.

It didn't take long for Xiao Ding to receive reports from Yang Jingtian's brothers and Yang Yueling.

Yang Jingtian and Yang Jingze intercepted and killed two rescue armies halfway, one was from Bin County, a total of about 5,000 soldiers, and more than 3,000 were annihilated; The other was from Qu County, also with 5,000 soldiers, and more than 3,000 were intercepted and killed. Intercepted twice, and obtained thousands of loot, weapons, armor and other items.

The report from Yang Yueling made Xiao Ding even more happy, but he didn't expect this female general of the Yang Sect to capture two cities one after another, Bin County and Qu County were taken by her, and the other Yongcheng County, because the defenders in the city did not come out, so Yang Yueling did not go to attack.

Bin County was when Yang Yueling led the troops to arrive, and the county order in the city took the initiative to surrender. Yang Yueling therefore went directly into the city and incorporated the troops in the city, and when the military general who went out of the city to rescue was intercepted and killed by Yang Jingtian's brothers, she went out of the city again and directly killed the military general who led the team, and the less than 2,000 remnants of the soldiers under her command also surrendered one after another.

Later, Tanma heard that Quxian County had also led troops out of the city to rescue, so she asked two of the three commanders who came with her to guard Bin County, and then, she led another commander and a part of the surrendered troops, plus some of the soldiers she had brought before, mixed together, and went to attack Quxian.

Originally, there were 5,000 soldiers left in Quxian County, but the guard general saw that Yang Yueling's troops were attacking the city fiercely, and his side suffered countless casualties, so he immediately abandoned the city and led more than 2,000 remnants of the army to flee to Yongcheng County.

Similarly, the 5,000 soldiers who went out from Quxian to rescue were also intercepted and killed by Yang Jingtian's brothers, and after killing and wounding more than 3,000 soldiers, they withdrew to the outside of Quxian County, only to find that Quxian had been occupied by Yang Yueling. As soon as he wanted to escape by detour, Yang Yueling had already opened the city gate and led the army to kill, and in the chaos of the army, Yang Yueling killed the general who led the team. The rest of the remnants of less than 2,000 soldiers also died and surrendered.

Song Yinzi, Xiao Ding and others had already sat in the hall of the county government of Qianling County at this time, and after Song Yinzi heard the news sent back by the Yang family's sisters and brothers, he admired Xiao Ding's division of troops even more. Sure enough, everything is in the middle of the plan!

Now that he knew the news of the three county seats, Xiao Ding immediately sent someone to recall the Yang family brothers who were still in ambush halfway, and at the same time asked Yang Yueling to inform Yang Yueling that she could leave a commander to guard Qu County, and she could also return to Qianling County first, and everyone would celebrate together.

There was a big victory today, and Xiao Ding decided to set up a celebration banquet at noon and evening to celebrate the several big victories he had fought in the past few days. Let the soldiers relax too.

Proper relaxation and rewards help to increase the morale of the soldiers.

As for the next step, it's not too late to discuss it after the celebration.

Of the several county towns in Zhongzhou that were occupied by the king of Jiaozhou, there is only one Yongcheng County left. Now that it has been isolated in Zhongzhou, I believe that it will not be long before that small county town will be self-defeating.

After all, the defenders in the city were all troops belonging to the Great Song Kingdom before, and if the king of Jiaozhou rebelled, the soldiers might not be willing to rebel together. It's just that I don't dare to resist with orders from above.

If they are isolated for a period of time, Yongcheng County will not be able to contact the king of Jiaozhou, and the grain and grass in the city will run out, and the morale of the army in the city will naturally be in chaos. Those soldiers who were unwilling to rebel in the first place would definitely surrender voluntarily when the time came.

Everything is under Xiao Ding's control, so Xiao Ding is not in a hurry.

Song Yinzi doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, he is self-aware, and he doesn't participate in how Xiaoding arranges.

At noon, because of the rush of time, the celebration banquet was just a simple meal and drink.

By the afternoon, when the spoils had been cleared, the soldiers had nothing to do, and dinner was prepared in a hearty manner.

When Song Yin abandoned the city and left, because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to bring a lot of supplies in the city, so they all cheapened Xiaoding and them.

In Qianling County, Xiaoding and the generals had a large banquet in the evening, and all the generals and soldiers were all elated.

Today, the casualties of his own troops were only about 100 or so, and most of the time, they were fired from a distance with bows and arrows.

Or take the enemy by surprise, or beat the enemy so that they have no power to fight back. So there is very little damage.

For every meritorious general, Xiao Ding recorded his merits in the merit book, and made the list of the top 100 soldiers with the greatest merits public to the army. Use the power of example to inspire other soldiers.

Xiao Ding, a list of military generals' merits, was also ranked and pasted in the Chinese army's big tent to encourage military generals to have the courage to make meritorious contributions.

Of course, the greatest credit among the generals is the Han family brothers and the Yang family brothers and sisters, and many other generals are not convinced, and they all come to Xiao Ding one by one, saying that next time they will arrange these siege and other errands for them to do, and they can also do it well. Don't just let them go and beat the drum in the middle of the night without attacking the city.

Xiao Ding laughed when he heard this, and told them that it was also important to beat the drum in the middle of the night.

After reveling for most of the night, the whole battalion dispersed.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ding gathered all the generals together again in the county hall of Qianling County to discuss the next strategy to deal with the troops of King Jiaozhou.

Everyone is saying a word, and each of you is expressing your own thoughts. But a good conclusion has not been reached.

Just when everyone was still at a clue about the discussion, suddenly the defenders at the gate of the city came in to report and said: "There is a deputy marshal Gao outside the city who said that he wants to enter the city and let the generals in the city go to greet him!" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, this person outside the city must be Gao Xuannei, the son of the Taiwei Gao Geyu, this belated deputy marshal, who was already late, and said with the face to let the generals in the city go to greet him?
