Chapter 980 - the fart!
Zhang Haoran sang about the empty city plan, and Li Xiu made a detour to Binzhou to prepare a surprise attack to take Binzhou, and at this time, the reinforcements from Jeju also arrived near Dezhou and Binzhou.
Song Wensong is not an ordinary person, as a veteran of many years of warfare, he has rich combat experience, he judged that the army in Liaodong was a feint, but he did not dare to despise it.
He sent Ma Shun and Hua Yun to send troops from Jeju to support, one to support Dezhou and the other to support Binzhou, so as to ensure the absolute security of northern Shandong.
However, at this time, Ma Shun and Hua Yun were not in a hurry, the two of them went all the way to the north slowly, and when they reached the edge of Texas, they were ready to divide their troops, and when they divided their troops, Hua Yun said: "General Ma, you should go to Texas when you are older, I am still a little far away from Binzhou, I am afraid it will take six or seven days to arrive in such a slow past!"
In fact, there was no battle in either Texas or Binzhou, and yesterday we had already received a report that the Liaodong Army was camped a hundred miles north of Texas, and there was no movement every day! Obviously, the Liaodong Army's expedition this time is really a false shot, hoping to let the prince return to Shandong, it is really a big laugh, Lu Zheng thinks that our prince is still a three-year-old child? ”
Hua Yun's words were very relaxed, Ma Shun was older, and he looked more stable and mature, and said: "General Hua, you still can't delay too much on the road, after all, Lu Zheng is very treacherous!" Now the prince is attacking the south at a critical juncture, what we have to do is foolproof, no matter what, we can't let the prince be distracted to the north, otherwise, if Huaiyang Road misses again, it will be a great disadvantage for us in Shandong! ”
Hua Yun nodded and said, "General Ma is right, since this is the case, then we will immediately divide our troops and go our separate ways!" Needless to say, it's important to hurry and try to get to your destination as soon as possible! ”
The two parted ways, and it seemed that they said to each other that they should hurry, but in fact, where would the march be so urgent? You must know that Song Wensong has always attached great importance to the defense line in the north, and there are many soldiers in several cities in the north.
This time, Li Xiu led the men and horses into Shandong, and the meaning of the show was already obvious, how could there be a change in this situation?
"Set up camp! Remember to pay close attention to the movement in the direction of Binzhou, and be sure to arrange a good vigilance, so as not to cause a big disaster because of lax vigilance! Hua Yun ordered the army to camp, and at this time the sky was still extremely bright, and it was still far from dark!
Night gradually fell, Hua Yun sat outside the tent, at this time the guards were roasting the mutton, the mutton was roasted on the fire, the fat burning exuded a charming aroma, the spices from the south were used in the roast sheep, which added a lot of flavor to the mutton.
Hua Yun cut a piece of meat with a knife, and he felt that the taste was really beautiful when he ate it, and he took another sip of Shandong brewed soju, and the hot feeling shocked his whole spirit, and laughed:
"My generation of martial artists, eat meat, drink wine, do not seek fame and fortune, just want to be able to fight on the battlefield, even if it is a horse leather shroud and do not regret it!"
"Okay, the general is heroic, he is a model for my generation!" The generals are shouting, what a wave of sycophants!
Huayun drank a little more wine, ate a little meat, and his mood was even more open, tonight's night is enchanting, the sky is high and refreshing, and it is very close to Binzhou from here!
Speaking of Hua Yun, he is the most important young general under Song Wensong, although he is young, he follows Song Wensong to fight in the south and the north, and he suffers a lot!
In his military career, he can think of such a stress-free and comfortable and chic dispatch this time, he used to follow Song Wensong to fight a hundred battles in the south, and every time he tied his head to the belt of his trousers, where is there such an opportunity to eat roast lamb, drink spirits, and talk with his guards like today?
The wine was half drunk, and everyone's interest was very high, and at this time, suddenly there was a fire in the east direction, and the sky in the distance wanted to be ignited, and the soldiers under his hands were surprised when they saw this scene, and couldn't help but say:
"Wow, is there a wildfire over there? It looks like there is a cloud of fire! ”
Hua Yun frowned slightly and said, "Mountain fire? What's the direction over there? Can there be woods? ”
"General, that's the direction of Binzhou, there is a big river in the direction of Binzhou, and I don't see any dense woods!"
Hua Yun's face changed, and he said: "It's not good, there will be no fire in the direction of Binzhou for no reason, there must be something!" Where are the scouts? Immediately go out to find out the news, in addition, order all battalions to pack up their things immediately, open overnight, and quickly move closer to Binzhou! "Keep your books
Hua Yun is a veteran of the battlefield, as soon as he heard that the direction of the fire was the direction of Binzhou, he instinctively smelled the danger, at this time he couldn't care about anything else, he could only let the army pull out overnight, and the heavy equipment of the camp should be discarded, all the military only needed to wear armor and bring weapons, and the night march was light, the purpose was to rush to Binzhou as quickly as possible.
At this time, Binzhou was already killing the sky, Li Xiu came from Texas to detour, and when he arrived outside Binzhou City, it was just dawn, he asked the army to hide, and immediately sent out scouts to enter Binzhou City to inquire about the news.
After arriving in Binzhoucheng, the scouts found that the city was not guarded at all, but the army was already ready, and there were soldiers patrolling the city wall during the day, and the defense was relatively strong.
In this case, the scouts contacted the secret spies stationed in the city, according to the secret spies, one of their guards outside the east gate can be the internal response, if Li Xiu wants to attack the city, the two sides can agree on the time, and when the time comes, the internal should open the east gate, Li Xiu can enter the east gate with a drum, so that Binzhou can be quickly broken.
When Li Xiu heard this report, he was overjoyed, even if he agreed to start at night, he could attack it unprepared and occupy a big advantage! Li Xiu led under the East Gate during the third watch, and sure enough, he saw that the East Gate City was wide open, and he ordered the previous death squad to ride horses directly into the city, and set all the merchants and pavilions around the East Gate on fire, and then the army then killed.
Imagine that the defenders of Binzhou would never have dreamed that they had been remembered by Li Xiu, and Li Xiu's means of attacking the city were so sharp, there was still an internal response in his army, and the fire was together, and the heavenly soldiers were killed, and the soldiers defending the city were immediately chaotic. They still had a little resistance at first, after all, there were still so many soldiers defending the city, and there were quite a few of them, and most of these soldiers were loyal to Song Wensong, knowing that the enemy was coming, they did not retreat quickly, but fought to the death.
However, their courage quickly collapsed under the repeated charges of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, in fact, it was difficult for any army to maintain morale in the face of cavalry charges, and in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was almost like an existence against the sky.
Once the Liaodong cavalry is not blocked by the city defense, the place where they pass is like a machine harvesting life, in this case, how can the Shandong army be able to stop it?
In this way, Li Xiu killed for more than two hours, and basically completely controlled Binzhoucheng, and the defenders only about 1,000 people escaped from the north gate. By daybreak, Binzhou had changed hands.
And when Hua Yun's reinforcements arrived outside the city, they happened to meet more than 1,000 Shandong troops who had been defeated from the city, Hua Yun went up to ask about the situation, and learned that Binzhou was broken by the Liaodong army, his eyes almost rolled out, and shouted:
"It's really a wine bag and rice bag, my Binzhou city defense is so strong, how can it be so easily broken by the Liaodong Army?"
Hua Yun was so angry that he trembled, his first reaction was to immediately lead his soldiers to recapture the city, but soon he realized that once the Liaodong cavalry occupied the city, they would have no need to worry about backup, so their combat power would be greatly strengthened, and now it was not a matter of him Hua Yun attacking Binzhou, but if Li Xiu knew about Hua Yun's existence, he would definitely not let Hua Yun get out easily.
As soon as he thought of this, Hua Yun immediately did two things, one was to send a letter to Song Wensong to report the military situation urgently, and the other was to report the military situation to Ma Shun in Texas, so that Ma Shun could quickly send troops to the north, and prepare to close the men and horses on both sides to surround Binzhou City, to see if Li Xiu could be caught as a turtle in an urn.
And he didn't rush forward himself, ordered the army to camp, and then built a defense and set up an ambush, quietly waiting for Li Xiu to attack!
Besides, after Li Xiu occupied the city, he was also in a very good mood, and immediately reported to the two rivers and Lu Zheng to occupy it, and at the same time sprinkled the scouts to inquire about the military situation. The scout reported that Hua Yun's army had reached a place thirty miles outside the city.
Li Xiu secretly screamed a fluke, if he was a little slower, maybe Binzhou would not be able to take it, once the battle became a scorching battle, the Liaodong Army would definitely not be able to take advantage, so this time the plan to send troops to Shandong would be a complete failure.
Now it's okay, Hua Yun was left out of the city in the cold, and Li Xiu occupied the city just to replenish and rest, rest for two days and then suddenly attack Hua Yun, he must break through his defenses.
Li Xiu immediately ordered the soldiers to rest, and two days later the cavalry became vigorous again, Li Xiu was not greedy for the gains and losses of the city at all, but did his best to get out of the cavalry in the city and raid Huayun's military tent.
Hua Yun set up an ambush with ease, and brought Song Wensong's Mo sword soldiers to deal with the cavalry, but as soon as the two sides fought, Li Xiu was still brave. Although Hua Yun tried his best, he still couldn't support, this battle was very tragic, Hua Yun's army suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and took advantage of the night to withdraw a hundred miles away, at this time Hua Yun no longer dared to camp, so he could only retreat to the direction of Jeju to escape.
After Li Xiu repelled Hua Yun, the scout came to report that Zhang Sima was in danger and was now fleeing north, with the Shandong army chasing him!
Li Xiuyi thought that the purpose of his attack on Binzhou was not to occupy the city, but to deter the enemy. Binzhou has been occupied, at this time the enemy camp must be in a panic, just right, Li Xiu can repeat the old tricks, come back to the horse pistol, and attack Texas in a bypass, if you can take Texas, I am afraid that the Shandong army will be scared......
