Chapter 587: Liangshan Attack and Defense (Medium)
What is a fierce general? At this time, Luda and Wu Song, who took the lead in leading the army to attack the mountain, explained the specific performance of the name of the fierce general with practical actions - they rushed to the front of the team, even if the defenders in front of them kept putting down the random arrows, they could not stop their charging footsteps, in their hands between the double knives and the swing of the Zen staff, those arrows from above have all been fired up, and the two of them swept like two whirlwinds under the stone wall.
At the same time as they threw the hooks, the two of them rose up almost at the same time, and their feet were only a few points in succession on the wall, and the people had already swept up the high stone wall. At this time, the Liangshan minions guarding behind the wall had not yet had time to prepare to resist, seeing the two of them pounce like fierce tigers, some people screamed and brandished knives and spears to slash, but more people subconsciously retreated, but they were frightened by the murderous aura exuded by the two of them.
Before the establishment of the trap camp, the position of Lu Dawu Song and the two in the army was actually a little embarrassing, both of them had a close friendship with Sun Tu, and both had martial arts that far surpassed their comrades, so it stands to reason that their status in the army should be very low. However, they are lacking in training and employing troops, which makes it difficult to lead an army like Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, after all, the martial arts of generals in the army are not the most important, but the command ability is.
And with Sun Tu building this trap camp, the two of them really found their own place, in this army, what they have to do is to lead the army to kill, without too many worries and exquisiteness, but also to fully show their strong martial arts strengths, it can be said that this trap camp is tailor-made for the two of them.
The two of them did not live up to Sun Tu's arrangement, as soon as they climbed on the wall, they did not flinch in the face of the many knives and guns that came from the stabs, and in the roar of the tiger, they had all grabbed it, and the knives and canes danced, not only broke and threw the weapons handed to them, but also took advantage of the situation to pounce and directly kill the crowd, and launched a completely one-sided killing.
Wu Song and Luda are like two tigers and wolves rushing into the herd of cattle and sheep to hunt for food, there is no enemy in front of them, only a moment later, they have killed those minions and kept retreating, more people have been so frightened that they retreated directly from the wall, even if there are no going down, at this time they have already lost their proportions, and they are no longer able to fight back and obstruct the officers and soldiers who are constantly climbing the wall.
It was also taking this opportunity that Li Zhong and Zhou Tong had already brought their soldiers and horses to the wall, and compared to the price paid for storming this pass a few days ago, their damage this time was almost negligible. In just one meal, the hundreds of people trapped in the camp have completely entered the city, and the first level of Liangshanbo has been broken!
Once they lost the support of the stone wall, and they had been frightened by the rush of Wu Song and Luda, the two great killing gods, these Liangshan troops guarding the pass completely lost the courage to resist, and could only retreat back with constant screams, and after paying more than half of the casualties and capture, the others fought hard behind the palace of several leaders here, and finally retreated up the mountain in a hurry. At this time, Li Kui and the others had just gathered their men to go down to the rescue, and when they saw this situation, they all showed unbelievable looks, so they could only take these brothers up the mountain first.
At the same time, the officers and troops under the mountain also sent a group of soldiers and horses to rush up the mountain again, and cooperated with the soldiers who were trapped in the camp to quickly occupy the Suotian Pass completely, in case the Liangshan bandits would take advantage of their unstable foothold to counterattack.
When the number of soldiers and horses hoarded here reached more than 1,000 people, everyone really relaxed and confirmed that this first checkpoint had been controlled by the officers and soldiers.
In fact, during this period of time, the pressure on the side of the official army was not small, and they took turns attacking the mountains but found nothing, but people died every day, which may not affect the Qingzhou army, but it made the Xiang army of other state capitals shake slightly.
Especially in these days, Sun Tu only sent the armies of the state capitals to attack the Suotian Pass, which inevitably made people wonder if they wanted to keep the soldiers and horses of the lineage, so they only let the officials and soldiers of the other prefectures go to death?
It wasn't until today that hundreds of people in the Qingzhou Army broke through the level as quickly as the wind and clouds, and everyone was really convinced, it turned out that the elite of the Qingzhou Army was indeed far stronger than their own, maybe Sun Dujian made this arrangement before just to sharpen the fighting spirit of the three armies. This also boosted Sun Tu's prestige in the army again, and many local officers looked at him with a little more respect in their eyes.
"Pass the order, let the soldiers trapped in the camp withdraw first, and then let the others hold that checkpoint, and there is no need to rush to attack the top again." Sun Tu was not carried away by this small victory, and still calmly issued orders.
Zeng Kaiqian, who was forcibly brought by him, couldn't help but muttered at this time: "Shouldn't our army's new victory be pursued while the victory is won?" This is a tactic written plainly written in the war book......"
Sun Tu waved his hand to call someone to give an order, and then he glanced at him and said indifferently: "The book of war is dead, and the person is alive, and it is better to believe in the book than to have no book." Liangshanbo Mountain is steep and has many checkpoints, and now they must be fully prepared, and continuing to attack will only increase casualties in vain. What's more, he never thought that such a strong attack could really break through Liangshan, so naturally it was impossible for him to act so recklessly.
Zeng Kaiqian was a little embarrassed, but Sun Tu said a little bit that he was talking on paper, which made him feel a little embarrassed. But with his current situation, he didn't dare to turn his face with Sun Tu, so he could only bow his head and stop making a sound, just to see what Sun Tu planned next.
As Sun Tu guessed, at this time, at the checkpoints above the Lock Heaven Pass, the defenders of Liangshan were already full of strength, bows, arrows, wood and stones, and even the rarely used fire oil were taken out by them, just waiting for the official army to give the other party a head-on blow when they came up.
However, the officers and soldiers actually accepted it when they saw it, but their plans were all in the air, and they could only watch with reluctance as the officers and soldiers increased their troops to the Suotian Pass, turning their own checkpoints into outposts for the opponent to attack the mountain.
On the mountain, in front of Dazhai, Song Jiang finally persuaded Li Kui and other brothers who were anxious to lead troops to recapture Suotianguan, and then sighed: "In the end, many brothers are still folded in the hands of the official army. ”
These words made Chao Gai and the others' old faces red, it was their opposition just now that they didn't withdraw the people in time, but now it's good, not only the level is lost, but the brothers inside are also broken by half. Of course, with the speed of the official army attacking the mountain, even if they really gave the order, it would be impossible for the men and horses to withdraw smoothly.
However, this did not affect their recognition of Song Jiang's judgment, this time Chao Gai couldn't care about the suspicions between the two sides, and asked sincerely: "Brother Gongming, what do you say we should do next?" Just one sentence, but almost everyone present turned their eyes to Song Jiang's body.
Song Jiang coughed dryly: "Brother doesn't have to blame himself, although we lost for a while, but my little brother still believes that my Liangshanbo is not something they can easily attack." As long as the brothers at the next few levels deal with it carefully, they don't want to break the level easily. ”
After a pause, he squinted at the official and military barracks below the mountain, and said in a very affirmative tone: "And I believe that as long as we can hold on to this period of time, the turnaround will come soon." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chao Gai asked with some confusion.
"Because Sun Tu's rear is problematic, his grain and grass should not be too much, as long as we guard the cottage for a month and not be broken, he will have to think about retreating because of the urgency of grain and grass." It was not Song Jiang who said this, but Wu Yong.
When it comes to using troops to fight, Wu Yong is obviously a little insufficient. But in terms of speculation and grasp of people's hearts, he is stronger than everyone in the village: "There has been news coming back before, saying that Sun Tu is arrogant and domineering in Qingzhou, and even many officials in the imperial court are powerless against him, which is naturally suspicious." Especially now that there are still some traitorous people in power in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they are enemies, no matter how big the price is, they must eradicate them.
"Now Sun Tu is facing such a situation, if he continues to make meritorious contributions, and even defeats our Liangshanbo, it will only make those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government lose face and feel uneasy. Even so, they would never allow such a thing to happen. In their opinion, my Liang Shanbo's threat is not as good as his Sun Tu. ”
"What the military advisor said is very true, these officials are all selfish, and the officials are deceived by them, so Sun Tu will definitely not end well. This time, if we can condemn them with our hands, they will definitely do something behind the scenes, such as making a big fuss about the supply of food and grass. Hu Yanzhuo also nodded in agreement, as a former military general of the DPRK and China, he knows too well what the virtues of those who are officials.
Song Jiang made a final summary at this time: "So even if we lose a city for the time being, don't panic, we will win this battle!" It's just that if we want to win, we must be able to endure it, not be frightened by Sun Tu's momentum, let alone be provoked by it, and take the initiative to attack and give him any chance. As long as I hold on for this month or two, the siege of my cottage will be relieved, and then I can take the opportunity to counterattack and defeat them! ”
If it weren't for the previous one, Song Jiang's proposal might still be objected to, at least someone like Liu Tang would definitely say something weird. But after the accident just happened and proved that his judgment was correct, but everyone did not follow it and failed, everyone did not dare to question it anymore, and Chao Gai quickly made a decision: "Just do it according to the will of the master of Song Zhai, let's just guard the checkpoints well, and slowly grind with the officials and soldiers." Anyway, now the grain and grass in my village are quite abundant and can afford it! ”
Sun Tu never imagined that the successful victory of the Lock Heaven Pass would lead to an extremely difficult battle in the future, and a tug-of-war of attrition would begin.
