Chapter 706: Heavy Damage to the Delivery Army
Chapter 706: Heavy Damage to the Delivery Army
Since the plan has been set, it is natural to implement it as quickly as possible, and the resolute Shi Bin immediately ordered to send someone to sneak into the city at night to meet with the Lianzhou guard general and tell the guard general the plan.
Since Shi Bin led the army to support, the pressure on Lianzhou has been greatly reduced, although it is still precarious, but the soldiers and civilians in the city are no longer so desperate, and many soldiers and civilians have the confidence to win, just because the person who led the troops is Shi Bin.
For several days, the handover army was huddled in the camp, and the Lianzhou guard, who was almost under almost no pressure, was happy to see the people sent by Shi Bin, because he knew that Lianzhou City would definitely be saved. After listening to the order sent by the messenger, the Lianzhou guard was even more ecstatic. He couldn't help but express his gratitude and said that he would firmly implement Shi Bin's order, and he would definitely let all the troops at the address get into the urn of Lianzhou.
Knowing that the Lianzhou garrison will definitely carry out the order firmly, because no one wants to be trapped in the city of Lianzhou, even if the address army can't capture Lianzhou, no one will think about that precarious life. So what Shi Bin had to do next was to find a way to pacify the Song army and people who had escaped from Lianzhou City.
Two days later, the Lianzhou garrison dug a small dog hole under the city wall into a passage that could be crawled through by one person, made some cover, and then took advantage of the night to withdraw with his men and people from the gate where the army at the junction was small. Before leaving, he burned all the grain and grass in the city.
Seeing black smoke rising from the city, Shi Bin knew that the Lianzhou guards were beginning to carry out the order, so he immediately sent 30,000 soldiers to take over the troops and people who had withdrawn from Lianzhou.
After seeing Shi Bin, the Lianzhou guard immediately bowed and said loudly: "The last general Zhou Xunliang thanked the commander for saving his life on behalf of the Lianzhou military and civilians." ”
Shi Bin was very surprised by Zhou Xunliang's kneeling behavior, the army usually bows on one knee, but Zhou Xuanliang bows on both knees, which is a big salute. So he immediately helped Zhou Xunliang up and asked, "The man has gold under his knees, why should General Zhou do this?" ”
"Marshal, I believe you must know the calamity suffered by the defenders and people of Qinzhou. The addressers were brutal and brutal, and they not only killed but also slaughtered the people. It's not that the last general is greedy for life and afraid of death, but no one wants to die. So many people have been blessed with the life of the handsome, and the last general should of course pay a big salute when he sees the handsome. Zhou Xunliang said very seriously.
"Well, then I'll be ashamed. Have you burned all the grain and grass in the city? ”
"Obey the orders of the commander, the last general has already burned all the grain and grass. After all, as long as it can be eaten, the last general will either burn it or bring it out. Anyway, there is not a grain of rice in Lianzhou City today! ”
"Good, well done. What about the passage I want? ”
"The passage was originally a small dog hole on the right side of the West City Gate, and now the general has dug it into a passage that one person can crawl through. The entrances on both sides will be covered with straw and stones. You can't find it without a careful inspection. ”
"That's fine, General Zhou, you've been fighting for more than a month, and you probably haven't had a good night's sleep, go and rest quickly, and we'll talk about the rest when you're rested." Shi Bin said with a smile.
There is a secret passage to infiltrate, there is no food in the city, Shi Bin's plan to kill the turtle in the urn has been half completed, and there is also waiting for the army of the city's diplomatic site to enter Lianzhou. However, this matter must not be urgent, and the handover army cannot see the clues, so Shi Bin can only wait for the time being.
To Shi Bin's disappointment, although the equipment of the handover army was not as good as that of the Song army, the military discipline did not seem to be worse than Shi Bin's army. Even if the gate of Lianzhou was wide open, it was confirmed that the city was empty, and without Chen Guojun's order, they still only held the camp and did not enter the city.
A greedy hyena with such a big fat meat actually doesn't
Eating really disappointed Shi Bin and others. Two days passed in one fell swoop, of course, he couldn't wait like this anymore, Shi Bin immediately called a meeting of everyone in order to get the 60,000 troops in front of him into the urn as soon as possible.
Soon, Li Chao, Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Zhou Xunliang all arrived, and Shi Bin asked, "What do you say next?" The handover army really forbade it, and they didn't go into an empty city in front of them. It seems that he is also afraid of becoming a turtle in the urn, after all, he can still see it after thinking about it carefully. ”
"Marshal, this shows that the morale of the handover army has declined, and they dare not act easily anymore." Zhou Xunliang said, "Marshal, before you came, the handover army was very rampant, burning, killing and looting. ”
"He will indeed be cautious if Chen Guojun's sea grain road is cut off, and now Chen Guojun is in Qinzhou and not in Lianzhou." Shi Bin smiled, "Those are all digressions, you tell me, how can we let these 60,000 troops enter Lianzhou City?" ”
"Marshal, the last general thinks that the handover army in the Lianzhou camp should feel that they must enter the city, otherwise it will be unsafe." Wang Jian said.
"Must go into town?" Shi Bin muttered, "The idea is good. ”
"Lord Wang, how can you make those handover troops think that they must enter the city? This one doesn't seem easy. They can hold on to the big camp. Xiang Shibi asked.
"It makes sense, we have to find a way to make those handover troops have to enter the city, and they have to jump even if they know it's a pit." Li Chao echoed.
"Do you have to jump even if you know it's a pit? That is because there is no guarantee of safety outside the city, there is absolutely no hope of retreating to Qinzhou, and it is useless to hold on to the camp. Xie Qiangbing said with a frown.
Xie Qiangbing's words reminded Shi Bin and reminded him of the loophole in this plan: the handover army in the Lianzhou camp could not only enter Lianzhou City to take refuge, but also retreat to Qinzhou to make peace with Chen Guojun.
"Wang Jian, you immediately lead 10,000 horses to block the road for the Jiaoji army to retreat to Qinzhou. Remember, only defend, not fight. If you disobey military orders, come and see you. Shi Bin issued this military order very quickly.
After accepting the military order, Wang Jian also led the troops to leave the camp to carry out the tasks assigned by Shi Bin. And the people in the tent continued to discuss the issue.
Li Chao is not a guy who plays cards according to common sense, and it didn't take long for him to come up with a bad move. Because the Lianzhou Junction Army Camp was in a higher position, while Shi Bin's Song Army was in a lower position, Li Chao suggested that the mountains and forests should be burned with fire to blow those choking black smoke into the Lianzhou Junction Army Battalion.
This method may not have much effect, but it is very novel, so Shi Bin immediately ordered someone to do it. However, it was also ordered to pay attention to the fact that the fire should be controlled, and that the burning mountain forest and the non-burning mountain forest should be separated from a long belt.
The fire was all together, and the effect was immediate, and the army of the mountain was obviously unable to endure such suffering, and scolded the Song army for being shameless and torturing them with such a bad method.
Looking at the handover troops in the mountain, Shi Bin was very happy and said with a smile: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." Li Chao, you understand this sentence thoroughly. ’
"Da Shuai praised it falsely, this is just some small skills of carving insects, and it is the Da Shuai and many soldiers who are fighting to the death who decide the victory."
These words made Xie Qiangbing, Wang Jian, Xiang Shibi and Zhou Xunliang on the side very happy, and they repeatedly showed favor to Li Chao.
After two days of smoking in a row, the soldiers in the Lianzhou camp were obviously unstable, and it was difficult to endure it any longer. A company sent five groups of cavalry to Qinzhou, and at a glance it was clear that it was to ask Chen Guojun for further orders.
didn't think that Chen Guojun's ability would hesitate, so Shi Bin asked everyone again for a way, to force the 60,000 handover troops into Lianzhou City as soon as possible.
The crux of the matter is still
It's not enough to make it impossible for the Address Army to stay outside the city, it's not enough to feel uncomfortable, there must be a more serious threat. Question: Where does this threat come from? Shi Bin and the others were a little distressed.
Since he couldn't think of a way, Shi Bin had to go for a walk again, but his thoughts were interrupted by a quarrel just after walking a dozen steps.
Without getting closer, he knew that a soldier had crushed an egg that a wounded man was about to eat, and the two had an argument over it. Anyway, 'there is nothing to do', and Shi Bin will easily solve this small dispute. was about to leave and continue to think about how to let the handover army enter the urn, but when he saw the deflated egg that had been trampled on the ground, Shi Bin had a sudden inspiration and immediately ran back to the tent.
"Xu Feng, how did you feel when you saw the deflated egg just now?" Shi Bin asked.
"It's not pleasant."
"Do you remember those Yuan soldiers who we killed with the return cannon before?" Shi Bin said with a smile.
As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Feng immediately knew what Shi Bin was going to do. Although he felt that the return cannon was too cruel, and all that was left of the attacked person was a pile of minced meat and not even a whole corpse, but he also understood why Shi Bin planned to use such a cruel weapon. So he said: "Dashuai, I support you to use the return cannon." ”
"In that case, it is rumored that I will order five return cannons to be made overnight, and I will see them before noon tomorrow." Shi Bin said very seriously.
There is no joke in the army, especially when every second counts, Xu Fengfei also ran out of the handsome tent to give orders. The officers who received the order did not dare to slack off at all, and supervised the rush overnight. Due to the strict military orders, Shi Bin saw the five return cannons and two hundred 'cannonballs' weighing several hundred catties before noon the next day.
In order to prevent accidental injury, Shi Bin evacuated his army from the camp and moved it to a higher place. At the sound of the order, the handover army immediately fell into a nightmare. Although they were forced to fight back, they could not break through the defense line of Shi Bin's firearms army, and could only be beaten passively.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no corpse in death. It is this kind of terror that the Junction Army is facing now, and it can only last for two hours, and the Junction Army has no choice but to retreat into Lianzhou City in order to avoid the slaughter of the return artillery. Seeing that the address army retreated into Lianzhou City, Song Junxia was overjoyed, because the current Lianzhou address army must be a turtle in an urn to be slaughtered. On the other hand, the handover army that entered the empty city of Lianzhou was panicked, and the leading generals did not know what to do, so they could only send someone to ask Chen Guojun for orders again.
Of course, the Jiaozhi army would not be allowed to recover and sober up, so after they retreated to Lianzhou City, the Song army's attack never stopped. The level of madness made the army in the city feel very panicked, because they had killed and wounded more than 3,000 people in one day, and the Song army had killed and wounded nearly 2,000 people even with firearms. With such consumption, sooner or later Lianzhou will be breached, and sooner or later they will be completely annihilated.
Although Shi Bin was a little unbearable in his heart, he still persevered, and only ordered to stop the attack when the light was hit, and instead ordered to prepare for the sneak attack in the early morning.
This time the plan went surprisingly smoothly, even God helped Shi Bin, and after a while, the sky was foggy, and the visual distance would not exceed ten steps.
The 300 elites sent opened the two gates of Lianzhou, and spread false news in them to set fire to the trouble, making the already unstable army of the address a mess.
As soon as he saw the city gate open, Shi Bin naturally led the army to attack, and the handover army at this time was a group of rabble, and naturally it was crushed with one blow. If it weren't for the fear that they would have a decisive heart, Shi Bin still came to a 'siege of three and missing one', and finally let more than 5,000 troops flee from Lianzhou City.
As a result, Lianzhou's handover army suffered heavy losses, and only 5,000 of the 60,000 remained, although he also lost nearly 20,000, but Shi Bin's pressure was greatly reduced, and he was still a lot more comfortable.
Just in case, Shi Bin left 20,000 people to defend Lianzhou City, 10,000 to guard the official road, and the other 50,000 to pursue the Jiaozhi army to Qinzhou.
