Chapter 151: There is no more poison than starvation
Fang La rebelled and swept through the south of the Yangtze River.
When the news reached Liangshan, many leaders were overjoyed.
With Fang La's north-south echo, they are under much less pressure.
On the one hand, people were sent to Jiangnan to give gifts to Fang La, and on the other hand, everyone discussed seizing the opportunity to expand their strength.
Song Heizi still wants to be recruited in his heart, and being an official in the court is much happier than being a thief on this mountain.
However, Chao Gai was still alive at this time, and his careful thinking could not be revealed for the time being.
After everyone summed up, they decided to send troops to attack Zengtou City.
The reason why Zengtou City is to fight is because it is said that Zengtou City has a large population and more than 10,000 military horses, and it is extremely wealthy.
Breaking Zengtou City, not only can replenish the population, but also obtain grain and grass materials. More importantly, you can get a large number of military horses and form cavalry units.
Song Heizi was scared by Wang Xiao in Dulonggang before. thinks that relying solely on foot soldiers to fight Wang Xiao has no chance of winning at all.
Then it was suggested that cavalry was the nemesis of hoplites. The Liao State repeatedly defeated the Great Song Dynasty, in which cavalry played an extremely important role.
These people don't know the art of war or anything at all, and all the knowledge they learn from the opera. Before many of the leaders of the official army did not go up to the mountain, they were a rabble.
Feeling that this proposal made sense, he hurriedly gathered troops and horses to attack Zengtou City.
The strength of Zengtou City is very strong, and no one dares to mess with it on the ground nearby.
However, Liangshan's strength is even stronger.
During this period of time, there were turmoil in all parts of the world, and many heroes of the rivers and lakes came to Liangshan, which made the number of soldiers and horses in Liangshan increase dramatically.
This is actually an important reason why Liangshan had to send troops.
So many soldiers and horses gathered together, and every day people ate and chewed an astronomical amount of horses. If you don't go out to loot, the heroes of your brother and brother all day long will break up soon.
Liangshan gathered an army of more than 30,000 to 40,000 and slaughtered Zengtou City.
The people of Zengtou City are not stupid, and when they saw the huge power of the people in Liangshan, they immediately asked the government for help.
The local government did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly uploaded the news of Liangshan's large-scale entry into Kouling Prefecture to the Privy Council.
At this time, the Privy Council was anxious about Fang La's affairs and was preparing to mobilize the Western Army to attack it. For things on the ground in Shandong, it is really beyond our reach. can only order the nearby imperial soldiers and horses to go in and suppress.
received an order to go to Lingzhou to rescue, in addition to Wang Xiao, there was also Fan Qiong, who had previously suppressed bandits in the eastern part of Hebei.
When it comes to the name Fan Qiong, not many people may know it.
After all, Fan Qiong at this time, like Wang Xiao, was just a small person with thousands of people to suppress bandits.
But he Fan Qiong is also very famous in the history books, because Jingkang is the inspector of the four walls of Bianliang in the capital.
He led the troops with a sword for the Jin army to drive Huizong and his concubines, and there were 100,000 women from Bianliang City who went out of the city and entered the Jin barracks.
One word sums it up, and that is traitor.
Wang Xiao held Zhao Fujin's pretty face and said, "I'm going out to fight, you have to take care of yourself here." ”
Zhao Fujin nodded: "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
"Take care of her." Wang Xiao looked at Hu Sanniang not far away, "I won't treat your Hu family badly." ”
Hu Sanniang pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, but finally nodded.
Seeing thousands of people gradually moving away, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but take Zhao Fujin's hand and asked, "Who are you?" Why did he come to Bianliang City to pick you up here? ”
Zhao Fujin smiled and said, "My surname is Zhao." ”
Hu Sanniang really doesn't understand, what's wrong with the surname Zhao?
The situation here in Zengtou City is very bad, like a bowstring that is about to break.
After receiving the news that Wang Xiao's army had moved towards this side, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan attacked desperately at any cost as if they were crazy.
Zengtou City suffered heavy losses here, and many peripheral Zhuangzi were breached. Because of their fierce resistance, Liangshan suffered heavy losses, and in order to vent their hatred, almost all of the defenders in these Zhuangzi were slaughtered.
After that, Zengtou City concentrated all his men in the largest Zhuangzi to resist desperately, while praying for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.
Zeng Tu, the head of the Five Tigers of the Zeng family, shouted at him, Lao Tzu Zeng, "Why haven't the dog officers and soldiers come to rescue us!" ”
Before Zeng Lane could speak, Shi Wengong, the head of Zengtou City on the side, explained loudly, "General Fan's soldiers and horses are only more than 1,000, and they don't dare to come forward to fight with the Liangshan thieves." As for the Ruiwu Battalion, it may be too far away to arrive. ”
"Far? How far can it be. If I really wanted to come, I should have come a long time ago. originally thought that Na Wu Erlang was a hero in the world, but he didn't expect that he was also a coward like that Fan Qiong. They didn't dare to come and fight the Liangshan thieves at all. ”
Zeng Lang looked at the Liangshan camp outside the city where the pot was buried and cooking, and gritted his teeth and said, "The Song people can't be trusted!" ”
At this time, Wang Xiao had indeed arrived, and the army was only more than 100 miles away from Zengtou City.
The reason why I didn't come here was because the Zeng family was not from the Great Song Dynasty, they were Jin.
In the past, Liaodong sold ginseng, and later made a lot of money and occupied this place. Formed a private army with the government, and became a local tyrant in the past ten or twenty years.
Wang Xiao didn't know if there was Jin Guoren behind Zeng Lang, but even if there was none, it should be regarded as yes.
Think about Jingkang a few years later, no matter where you are, you should destroy them when you see the Jin people.
In the big tent, Wang Xiao asked, "Have you found the military food camp in Liangshan?" ”
Liang Shan brought out almost all the soldiers and horses that could fight this time, and the number was nearly ten times that of Wang Xiao's side.
In a head-to-head battle, the winner or loser is uncertain, and even if it does, it will cost you a lot.
If you want to win more easily, learning Wei Wu to destroy his grain camp is the best choice.
Yang Zhi stepped forward and saluted, "General, our people are trying to find a way to connect with the people inside." Presumably, news will come in the next day or two. ”
During this time, a large number of thieves defected to Liangshan, and Wang Xiao also sent a fine work here to quietly blend in.
In order to maintain his reputation, Liangshan's side also wanted to look like there were many people, no matter who it was, he would not refuse.
Again, before the leaders of the regular military came up to the mountain, they were a rabble.
"Liangshan is located in the middle of a lake, and it is difficult for our army to storm without boats. They poured out of the nest this time, but it was a rare and good opportunity. You should fight hard and give the people of Shandong a peaceful life. ”
All the generals in the army received the order in unison.
Three days later, Zengtou City outside Liangshan Honjin.
"Brother Gongming, why are you restless?" Chao Gai, who was holding a large wine bowl, laughed.
Seeing that Zengtou City was about to be destroyed, the leaders of Lingshan began their daily life again, that is, drinking wine and eating meat.
A large group of people gathered here to have a drink, shouting and shouting.
Song Heizi wiped his sweat, "I don't know how to get it, I've always been restless for the past two days." It always felt like something was going to happen. ”
"What can happen?" Chao Gai smiled sarcastically: "This Zeng Tou Market can be broken in a day or two." The officers and soldiers from Hebei did not dare to engage us in battle at all. As for Nawu Erlang, the news from Dean Dai said that their camp was still more than 100 miles away. Brother Xian, you are too worried. ”
Song Heizi smiled and saluted, "What my brother said is very true. ”
There was a commotion from there, but it was Tie Niu who jumped directly onto the table, holding a large jar of wine in his hands and pouring it up.
He hadn't drunk much of a jar of wine, but half of it had been spilled on his thick chest hair.
Everyone around applauded loudly and praised Li Kui for being a good man.
When he was happy and lively, he saw Dean Dai Zongdai stumbling in.
As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Brother, something happened!" ”
The commotion was suddenly paused.
Song Heizi's hand shook, and the sea bowl suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.
"Brother Dai, what's wrong!?"
Chao Gai frowned dissatisfiedly, and said in his heart that I am the boss, aren't you stealing my limelight?
Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong obviously came all the way, panting and stammering.
"We, our grain camp..."
Song Heizi jumped to his feet anxiously, "What's wrong with the grain camp?!" ”
"The grain camp has been broken by the officers and soldiers!"
There was an uproar all around.
Zengtou City is far away from Yangsan. Almost all of their tens of thousands of horses were concentrated in a mountain col about fifty miles away from the camp.
Now that the grain camp has been breached, it means that the army has run out of food.
If a soldier and horse run out of food, the fate is naturally self-evident.
"It can't be!" Chao Gai jumped like thunder, and directly slammed the wine bowl in his hand, "Brothers Lin Chong and Brother Liu Tang are guarding the grain camp with 5,000 soldiers and horses, how can they be breached!" ”
He really couldn't understand how Lin Chong and Liu Tang were both well-known fierce men, hiding in an inaccessible valley with 5,000 men and horses, how could they be easily attacked.
Dai Zong explained in a bit of a panic: "I don't know how those officers and soldiers know the location of the grain camp." They entered the grain camp in the middle of the night, and thousands of armor soldiers poured in like a tide and no one could stop them. The Lin Chong brothers and the Liu Tang brothers were all in the hands of the enemy. ”
"Thousands of armor soldiers?!"
The crowd gasped.
On this Shandong territory, there is only one officer and soldier who can take out thousands of armor soldiers. Wu Erro's soldiers and horses!
"Isn't that Wu Erlang a hundred miles away? How to get to the grain camp overnight! ”
Dai Zong said with a sad face, "The camp is fake, looking at the tents and flags outside, all the flags are there, and the camp is strong, but there is no one!" ”
Song Heizi sat on the chair with his head covered, he was really going to have an accident if he was restless for the past two days!
Tie Niu carried two plate axes and shouted, "Brother, don't worry, let's go to the grain camp now and chop that Wu Erlang into meat puree!" ”
"Come back!"
Song Heizi called back Li Kui: "You stay honest!" ”
"Brother Chao Gai." Song Heizi saluted Chao Gai, "Our current situation is extremely critical, and we must immediately defeat Nazengtou City." ”
"Still fighting?" Chao Gai looked at him in surprise, "But there is almost no food in the army." ”
"It's because there is no food that we have to fight Zengtou City!"
There are tens of thousands of horses in Liangshan, and these heroes can't eat without a meal.
The nearby state capital has long been in strict battle to close the city gates, for fear that it will be affected. And even if the small villages and villages everywhere break it, how much food can be obtained, it is simply not enough to stuff the teeth.
The only way is to take Zengtou City and get the supplies in this super large village to survive.
Chao Gai nodded slowly, "Then fight, you must fight it before dark!" ”
