After being frustrated for ten days under Zhending City, Wu Shiman finally understood the difference between field battles and tough battles, and completely put away his contempt for Wan Yangang.

Wu Shiman had the intention of organizing a strong attack, but was dissuaded by a group of subordinates. Although the military order is like a mountain, Wan Yankang has already set a rule, if two-thirds of the commander's subordinates disagree, he can only withdraw the order.

After the assault plan was aborted several times, Wu Shiman also calmed down. While ordering the collection of wood and continuing to build siege equipment, he sent people to report back to Zhongdu with Pegasus and asked Wan Yankang, the invincible commander, about his plans.

Wan Yankang saw the excerpt sent back by Wu Shiman, and was happy in private for a while. What he was most worried about was that Wu Shiman was too arrogant and let his subordinates die in vain. Since he can ask him at this moment, it means that this Second Uncle Wu has abandoned his arrogance and focused on the gains and losses on the battlefield.

Wan Yankang gathered up several battle reports and thought about it carefully. If he led a group of masters to rush to the aid and took advantage of the night to enter the city and seize the city gate, it would be the method with the least damage. But since he has let go of power, if he personally leads the master to attack at night, it will damage Wu Shiman's prestige, which is really inappropriate.

Huang Rong is about to be on the plate, and Wan Yankang doesn't want to leave the Central Capital without permission. The method of night attack by such a master cannot be used as a conventional means of siege, so it is good to find a way to generalize.

Wanyan Kang ordered someone to bring the map, pondered it carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration moved in his mind and he came up with a clever plan.

"Frog jumping tactics?" When Wu Shiman saw these four big characters, he seemed confused. After reading the annotations at the back, Wu Shiman slapped his thigh excitedly, exclaimed in a loud voice, and immediately convened a military meeting.

After Yan Kang's will was conveyed, a new look appeared in everyone's eyes.

The bold tactics of besieging Zhending with a small force but not attacking, and a large army jumping over Zhending and continuing southward, can be described as unprecedented. But in the current situation, the frog jump tactic is very feasible.

Officers at and above the battalion level in the new military are trained in the martial arts hall and can only take up their posts after passing the examination. Although everyone has a high level of talent, the basic military literacy is definitely not bad, and the essence of this frog jumping tactic can be said to be clear at all.

The essence of this tactic is that the army avoids dangerous places such as Xiongcheng and other places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and penetrates directly into the enemy's rear.

The biggest difficulty of the leapfrog jump tactic is that once the supply line is cut off by the enemy, there is a risk of annihilation.

For Wu Shiman's southbound army, the cavalry of the large army is mostly cavalry, and it is highly mobile, so it can eat the enemy. As for Wanyan Gang in Zhending City, if he dares to lead the army out of the city to attack the grain road, it will be in the arms of the Northern Army.

The strategy was established, and Wu Shiman immediately ordered the army to pull out, leaving only Xiao Baili to lead a regiment of cavalry in the headquarters to continue to besiege Zhending.

Wan Yangang saw the movements of the army outside the city in the city, and his face was disdainful: "Go first and then go back, such a child's strategy can also deceive me!" ”

All the generals under his command laughed in unison and shouted that the prince was wise.

After more than ten days of confrontation, the original panic in Zhending City has gradually settled down. Under the promise of Wanyan Gang's high-ranking officials, the morale of this group of defeated soldiers has recovered a lot, and I feel that the northern army does not seem to be so terrible.

After Wan Yangang thought about it, Wu Shiman just used a small trick to trick himself out of the city. But then he found that there were obviously some cavalry outside the city that had not left, which made him a little puzzled.

If you lure yourself out of the city, why do you want to keep soldiers?

If you want to continue the siege, what can you do with this amount of troops?

What's even more puzzling is that the cavalry outside the city didn't even do the work of shouting for surrender, and actually played football outside the city.

Zhending Mansion originally had a branch of the Golden Football Association, and the atmosphere of playing football in the city was quite strong, and there were many stadiums within ten miles outside the city. From the city wall, there are more than a dozen stadiums outside the city, and from morning to night, there are Northern troops playing there.

Which one is this playing?

All the soldiers in Zhending City, seeing this situation in the city every day, are inevitably confused.

After four or five days like this, Wan Yangang had a confidant general, who observed a few times from all sides, and found that the enemy outside the city added up to only a few thousand men and horses, and there was no trace of an ambush of a large army within thirty miles. This person was bold and took the opportunity to speak out, and persuaded Yan Gang to lead the army out of the city to raid.

As soon as Wan Yangang heard this, his eyes widened, and a big ear scraper slapped over: "Bastard, this is clearly the Northern Army's strategy to lure the enemy." If you hadn't been with me for many years, and this king knew everything about you, he would have cut off your dog's head today to warn the unscrupulous! ”

The general hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain is dull, the villain is dull, thank you for the prince's kindness, thank you for the prince's kindness." ”

Wan Yan Gang said in his heart, this bastard, in the past, he still felt smart and easy to use, but he didn't expect it to be extremely dull. Lao Tzu is in his twenties

10,000 people, determined by the battle of tens of thousands of people in Wanyankang, even if there are only thousands of enemy troops outside the city at this moment, what can I do with this little man?

After the first battle in the south of the central capital, Wan Yangang completely understood the difference in strength between his own side and the northern army, and no longer dared to take risks. But at the same time, this battle also planted the shadow of the invincibility of Commander Wan Yankang in Wan Yan Gang's heart, and he was already three points timid.

After Xiao Baili waited for the army to go south, he ordered his soldiers to play football every day, firstly, to relax, and secondly, to lure the enemy out of the city.

The soldiers who play on the court every day look like a lot of people, but they only account for 20% of the army left behind. The remaining eight horses are all on alert, once Yan Gang dares to go out of the city, these thousands of elite horsemen can quickly kill and take the city.

How do you know that Wan Yan Gang is cowering in the city, without the slightest movement.

The confrontation under the city is very calm, and it can even be described as weird.

Wu Shiman went south to the army, but he was like a bamboo.

After the middle army bypassed Zhending, it took Shijiazhuang for the first time.

Shijiazhuang is only dozens of miles away from Zhending, and there are only thousands of defenders inside, Wu Shiman shouted to declare that Zhending has been down, and at the same time set up the ladder carried by the army and began to attack the city.

On one side, there are many people and morale is high.

On the one hand, there are few soldiers and generals, and there are many suspicions.

Less than half an hour after the middle army arrived at Shijiazhuang City, it successfully captured the city.

Wu Shiman arranged a battalion of infantry to stay behind to deal with the aftermath of the resettlement, and then without stopping, he personally led the cavalry to Xingzhou to kill first. Siege equipment, which was transported by the accompanying infantry.

Shijiazhuang is too close to Zhending, and the soldiers in the city are still suspicious of the fall of Zhending. Two hundred miles away in Xingzhou, Yelu Desheng, the guard general in the city, saw Wu Shiman's tens of thousands of troops rolling in, and did not wait for the city to shout, and the idea that he had really fallen into the hands of the northern army was born in his heart.

Only the slogan of the rebel head was shouted twice, and the white flag was raised on the city, and then the city gate was opened, and the guard general Yelu Desheng led his troops out of the city to kneel to meet the army of Wu Shiman, and called it a capital crime.

It took a lot of effort to take Shijiazhuang. Wu Shiman thought that he wanted to take Xingzhou, and he had to wait until the infantry in the rear arrived, so how could it take two or three days, but he knew that he would be able to enter the city and sleep peacefully that night.

Happiness came so suddenly!

After controlling the city gates on all sides and collecting the surrendered army, Wu Shiman settled in the Xingzhou prefect's mansion, summoned Yelu Desheng, and asked with great interest: "General Yelu, why did you sacrifice the city so quickly?" ”

Jerod Sheng knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Sin will be coerced by the head, it is really a last resort, sin will look forward to the king's teacher to the south, just like a long drought and hope for rain, and a baby looks forward to his parents!" ”

Wu Shiman laughed: "Ben will tell you that the Zhending Mansion is still in the hands of Wanyan Gang, what should you do?" ”

After a while, he regained his senses, knelt on his knees again, and prostrated his head repeatedly: "What the sin will say is true." Wan Yanrui, the guard general of the Daimyo Mansion, is a rebel brother, and the last general is willing to make meritorious service and take the Daimyo Mansion for the general! ”

Wu Shiman sighed: "Really? ”

Yelu Desheng said: "The deputy general of the Daimyo's Mansion is the brother of the Sin General, and the Sin General is willing to enter the Daimyo's Mansion first and persuade his people to act as an internal response, and when the army arrives, he only needs to cooperate with the inside and outside......

Wu Shiman stroked his palms and laughed, and pulled Yelu Desheng up: "The general has worked hard, if this matter can really be done, I will personally write a book to praise the general!" ”

Yelude was overjoyed, although he was deceived into offering the city, but in fact, he understood it tightly in his heart: the general trend of the Southern Dynasty has gone, and it is only a matter of time before the Zhending Mansion is taken.

The discussion was established, and Yelu Desheng immediately asked Wu Shiman for his resignation, took a few personal soldiers, changed into civilian clothes, left the city overnight, and rushed to the Daimyo's mansion.

As soon as Yelu Desheng left, Gao Youli said to Wu Shiman: "Commander, if this person goes to the Daimyo's Mansion, it is not to persuade him to surrender, but to report the news......

Wu Shiman slapped him heavily on the shoulder: "You kid is good at everything, but he is too suspicious." This person's family is all in our hands, so I have a lot to worry about. What's more, the general trend of our army has been achieved, and there are a few scattered soldiers in the south, who can resist. Even if this person really deceived me and went to the Daimyo's Mansion to ventilate and report the news, Nan Rebellion was able to resist for a while, but it was just a mantis arm as a car. ”

Having said that, Wu Shiman didn't dare to take it lightly. He stayed in the state for three days, and after thoroughly arranging the reorganization of the original army in the state and the dismissal of the army that should be dismissed, he ordered the army to continue to march and kill the daimyo's mansion.

The castle of the Daimyo's Mansion was more than two feet high, and the defenders in the city originally had more than 15,000 people. After learning that the city of Xingzhou was broken, Wan Yanrui, the general of Pingbei who stayed behind in the Daimyo's mansion and urgently recruited 20,000 young men in the city to assist in the defense of the city.

Finished

When the Tsunada army marched north, the Daimyofu was the most important logistics base of the Southern Army except for Kaifeng Prefecture. The grain and grass under the city are enough to last 200,000 troops for a year, and all kinds of armor and equipment are piled up.

In the past two days, Wan Yanrui has led his relatives to inspect the city defense on all sides, and constantly cheered up the soldiers under his command: "The city defense of my Daimyo Mansion is strong, the grain is abundant, and the northern army is only forty or fifty thousand horses, what can I do!" ”

"Defend the Daimyo's Mansion, Ben will personally ask for credit for you!"

When the generals heard this, they all said that they would serve their lives.

As soon as Wu Shiman's army arrived, Wan Yanrui personally stationed in the north of the city, he pointed to the tens of thousands of cavalry outside the city, and laughed loudly: "Although this kind of cavalry is strong, what is the use of it unless it can fly with wings!" ”

Half an hour later, there were shouts of killing from the south gate. As the shouting of killing got closer and louder, Wan Yanrui knew that something was wrong, and immediately called someone to inquire about the situation.

After a short time, the personal soldiers returned, and the deputy general Yelu Minghao surrendered to the enemy and sacrificed the city.

After he came to his senses, he ordered his generals to garrison the north gate, and he took two thousand ironclad troops to the south of the city to kill, trying to turn the tide.

But before he could reach the south gate, there were shouts of killing from the east and west, Wan Yanrui knew that the general trend had gone, he gritted his teeth, and immediately turned his horse and ran to the grain depot.

When he arrived outside the grain depot, he ordered the treasurer to open the door, and drew a fire to burn the grain. But he might as well command a commander of a thousand people, and he drew his knife violently and cut off his hand holding the fire fold.

Wan Yanrui roared angrily: "Dog thief, you dare!" ”

The commander shouted: "Wan Yanrui, your brothers have gone against the grain, they are exhausted, and they want to set fire to the grain." Brothers, we can't bury him with us! ”

It turned out that this commander had already been rebelled by Yerod, and at this moment the situation was critical, he finally seized the opportunity to take a stand and ordered the soldiers to set things right.

The other commander subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to protect the master, but when he heard this person's shout, he didn't realize that he hesitated.

Seeing this, Wanyan Kongrui knew that he had no luck, so he took out the scimitar on his waist with his left hand and cut it on his neck, and immediately settled the account.

In the end, Wu Shi's barbarian soldiers took the Daimyo's Mansion bloodlessly, and obtained countless soldiers, armor, grain and grass. After seeing Yan Rui's head, he smiled and said to Yelu Desheng who was waiting on the side: "General Yelu, this time you will take the Daimyo's Mansion, and count your first merit!" ”

All the generals on the side congratulated in unison.

Yerod didn't dare to say anything, but a smile bloomed on his face, he knew that with the rules of the Northern Army, this first merit was enough to be knighted, and it could make him a general to gain a firm foothold in the army.

That night, Wu Shiman set up a celebration banquet in the city, and everyone ate and drank a meal.

Early the next morning, he called Yelu Desheng again: "General Yelu, you don't have to work for the two masters, and there will be one more thing for you, so I want you to run around." ”

Yelu Desheng stepped forward and said: "Although the general commands, Desheng dares to die without obeying!" ”

Wu Shiman gave him a task, and rushed back to Zhending Mansion with Wan Yanrui's head.

……

Wan Yangang was in Zhending City, watching the enemy army outside the city play football every day, and wanted to lead the army out of the city to sneak attack countless times, and stopped his thoughts countless times.

Just after noon that day, after lunch, he went to the city again, and suddenly found that the enemy troops outside the city had put away their soccer balls and lined up close to the city.

"Traitor, do you know who this person is?" A cavalryman flew out of the array, carrying a head with a spear, and shouted dozens of steps outside the city.

Wan Yan Gang's eyes were general, and he couldn't see the appearance of this head clearly, a young general next to him had sharp eyes, and he saw the appearance of the head really, and couldn't help but point to the outside of the city, and said with some trepidation: "Dashuai, the appearance of this head, it seems to be the general of Pingbei......"

Wan Yangang was shocked when he heard this, he looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this person's head looked like his own brother.

As soon as the army outside the city shouted: "The Daimyo's Mansion has been broken, and you can't descend quickly!" ”

Wan Yangang spurted out a mouthful of old blood and fell backwards.

As Yerod appeared outside the city to speak, the voice of surrender rang out, and the people in the city were panicked. Except for a few hardcore henchmen of Wan Yan Gang, the rest of the people made their own decisions.

In the middle of the night, a man fell with a rope in the west of the city and stole to the camp outside the city.

Early in the morning, Xiao Baili ordered the army to approach on all sides. With the white flag on the west gate tower, the city gate was opened, and Xiao Baili pointed a silver gun and led the army into the city.

Hearing the news of the Northern Army's entry into the city, Wan Yangang knew that the general situation was gone, and he had people set fire everywhere in the city and made people pretend to be himself. Then he changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, he took advantage of the chaos to get out of Zhending Mansion.
