520, will the bandits be suppressed? (2)
(Squeezed the car for a day, fought bravely in the crowd, extremely tired at the moment, worked hard to code a chapter, and went to work tomorrow...) )
Early in the morning of July 26, Gao Yuqin led the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of more than 90,000 people to officially march towards Yunzhou City, encountering resistance and harassment from several small groups of Liangshan bandits on the way, but they all fled under the attack of the army, and at the same time the scouts kept reporting, and the 40,000 or 50,000 troops of Liangshan bandits stationed in several directions on the periphery of Yunzhou were rapidly withdrawing to Yunzhou City.
Gao Yu just smiled coldly after getting the news, the thief obviously wanted to gather troops near Yunzhou City to start a decisive battle with him, but this was not what he wanted? It's just the right time to catch all the thieves! He immediately ordered the army to speed up at once!
Two hours later, the vanguard army in front reported that the army had arrived near Liangshanbo, and asked if it would attack the mountain.
It is said that although the center of Liangshan bandits has been transferred to Yunzhou City, they still have many symbolic activities held in Liangshan, and they also have many important institutions located in Liangshan, so it can be said that Liangshanbo is a "holy place" in the minds of Liangshan bandits, so if Liangshanbo can be broken, it will definitely be able to hit the confidence of the thieves hard!
Gao Yu immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and instead launched an attack on Liangshanbo, tens of thousands of forbidden troops carrying siege weapons, from the mountain road to Liangshan to attack, but since the beginning of the mountain, they encountered the constant harassment of Liangshan bandits, from the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, on the trees, behind the mountain rocks, beside the cliffs, from time to time there are life-threatening arrows flying, although the Song army has a shield, it is also invincible, from time to time there will be Song soldiers in the arrow to the ground.
The Song army was overwhelmed and wanted to fight back, but on the steep mountain road, in the face of the Liangshan bandits who were climbing the rock and walking on the ground, the Song army could not catch up at all, so they sent small forces to give up their lives to chase, and these small forces often had no return. Gradually, the Song army gave up the useless pursuit, and then transferred a large number of archers to line in the ranks, where there was an abnormality, they shot arrows fiercely, and sure enough, the attacks suffered by the Song army gradually decreased.
Finally, the Song army came to the mountain, only to see that the thieves on the mountain had already closed the city gate and made a look of defending to the end.
After the Song army set up siege weapons, the battle soon began, the battlefield was on the mountain, the mountains and rocks were inexhaustible, the catapults were mighty, and the huge mountains and rocks were smashed to the pass like raindrops, and then, tens of thousands of troops began to rush to the pass like a tide, and launched a siege war.
The Liangshan bandits showed a tenacious fighting spirit, and insisted on fighting even in the face of huge casualties, showing their determination to resolutely defend the holy land of Liangshan.
It's just that the more they are like this, the more the Song army recognizes the value of capturing Liangshanbo, and Gao Yu even issued a military order, ordering the army to capture Liangshan at any cost!
Finally, the battle lasted for an hour, and the Song army broke through the first pass in front of the mountain after paying a lot of casualties, and after an hour, it went down the last two passes in a row and attacked Liangshanbo!
It's a pity that what is in front of them is just an empty mountain, and they finally understand the reason why the Liangshan thieves are holding on to the first few levels of the mountain, they are just to buy time for the thieves on the mountain to evacuate from the back mountain.
Although he wasted the boss's strength and paid such a large casualty to capture an empty mountain, Gao Yu was still very happy, in his opinion, the significance of the victory in this battle was definitely greater than the reality, first of all, he completed the mission that Gao Lian failed to complete, and comforted Gao Lian's dead in the sky. Secondly, it is another credit to report to the imperial court. Again, as the fleeing Liangshan bandits spread the news that Liangshan had been lost to the thieves in other places, it will definitely cause them panic and hit their morale!
Of course, it was not easy to attack Liangshan, and it couldn't go down in vain, Gao Yu immediately ordered a fire to burn down the base camp of the Liangshan thieves! Suddenly, the flames on Liangshan were everywhere, thick smoke billowed out, and countless buildings were caught in flames.
Gao Yu laughed proudly when he saw this, and hurriedly flattered Xuanfu to make the adults really use soldiers like gods, and it is difficult to find them in the world, and this great cause of suppressing bandits will be about to be fully successful from this moment on!
Song Jun went down the mountain again, and when he came to the Liangshan Shuibo at the bottom of the mountain, Gao Yu looked at the endless eight hundred miles of water, and his heart suddenly moved, and asked left and right, "Isn't there a water army in Liangshan Bandits?" Why can't you see them? ”
Left and right replied, "Liangshan thieves do have a navy, but only more than 2,000 people, according to the spies, because our army does not have a sailor, this thief Kou navy is no longer useful, a few days ago was transferred to Yunzhou City by Liangshan thieves, as for their ship...... Maybe it's hiding somewhere in the water. ”
Gao Yu didn't pay much attention to it when he heard it, and then ordered the army to continue to attack in the direction of Yunzhou City.
But Gao Yu didn't know that at this moment, in the endless reeds in the center of the eight hundred miles of water, there were nearly 500 large and small ships hiding in it, and each ship was full of people, all of them were standing in the direction of Liangshanbo, no one moved, no one made noise, everyone just looked at the top of Liangshan Bo that had fallen into the sea of fire, and the shadow of the fire reflected in their eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and they all secretly clenched the handle of the knife in their hands......!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Two hours later, the Song army finally arrived at Yunzhou City after repelling several small forces of Liangshan bandits, looking at Yunzhou City that was close in front of them, the eyes of tens of thousands of people up and down the Song army showed excitement and greed, everyone knew that after the Liangshan bandits captured Jingxi Road, they set off a bloody storm on the officials and wealthy families of Jingxi Road, and the accumulation of those officials and local tyrants for several lifetimes also fell into the hands of Liangshan bandits, how much money is there, no one can imagine, but it is said that there are hundreds of millions of dollars, The annual income of the Great Song Dynasty is only less than 100 million!
And this money is very likely to be hidden in two places, one is Liangshanbo, the base camp of the Liangshan bandits, and the other is Yunzhou City, their administrative center! Now that Liangshanbo has been breached, no trace of any large amount of money has been found, which means that the money must be hidden in Yunzhou City! Even if you still can't find that huge fortune, the rich Yunzhou City is enough for tens of thousands of troops to make a small fortune.
Everyone is working hard, and when they want to break through Yunzhou City, they must do a big job.
Gao Yu was also very moved by the legendary billions of money, but now he has more important things to care about, that is, the agreement with Liu Zhengyan, Liu Zhengyan replied that although Zheng Linfeng, the leader of the Liangshan thieves, brought the Western Army back to Yunzhou City, he still did not trust the Western Army, and the 30,000 people of the Western Army were only allocated 5,000 weapons, and there were no armor and shields, etc., and the Western Army was indignant about it.
This is not over, in order to prevent the western army from being concentrated, the hidden danger is too great, and they also divided the western army into four parts, each with only more than 7,000 people, stationed at the city gates on all sides.
It's a pity that, according to Liu Zhengyan, the thieves are smart but are mistaken by smart, although the 30,000 people of the Western Army are divided into four parts, it doesn't also mean ...... There are men from the Western Army at the gates on all sides?
And this is Liu Zhengyan and Gao Yu's plan, after the start of the war, the Western Army will suddenly turn against the battle, open the city gate, put the Song army into the city, and kill the thieves with the Song army!
