Luo County, Ping'an Town

It is said that it is a town, in fact, the area of the city tower in Ping'an Town is not much smaller than that of the ordinary small county town, and it is also thought that there is a granary in the town that can bear the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the natural area covers a wide area.

Ping'an Town not only has a large city area, but also has a large number of garrison troops, with 14,000 regular garrisons alone, plus young and strong people who carry grain, Ping'an Town can easily gather nearly 50,000 soldiers in a short period of time.

Of course, because most of these young people are local servants in Luo County, Nanling Mansion has just been occupied by the Zhou army, and the people's hearts will be relatively closer to the Northern Jin Dynasty.

However, if there is a real fight, Ping'an Town will not count on these people to contribute, their real confidence is the more than 10,000 defenders of the town, as well as the Zhou army stationed in the county seat of Luoxian County and various camps.

Ping'an Town is located in the plain area, with transportation in all directions, otherwise it would not be used by Ji Linbing as a front-line granary for the Jin army, after all, if you really want to supply grain and grass to all front-line departments, good transportation is a necessary condition.

Transferring grain from the base camp in the north of the Western Zhou Dynasty into Nanling and Beiling, and then transporting grain and grass from Erfu to the frontline departments, Ping'an Town is the most suitable transit station granary in terms of traffic conditions, geographical location, including storage conditions.

At the same time, because of the excellent traffic conditions of Ping'an Town, once Ping'an Town is attacked, the surrounding troops and horses can rush to support as quickly as possible.

The defenders of Luo County had done a similar exercise, and after the attack signal was released from Ping'an Town, the fastest reinforcements could arrive within two and a half hours, and within eight hours, the defenders of Luo County could all be in place, and even the defenders of neighboring counties would come to the rescue.

…………

Note that because of the importance of the granary of Ping'an Town, the internal garrison of Luo County is two to three times that of ordinary county seats, and with the garrison stationed in Ping'an Town, the total number of troops in Luo County has exceeded 40,000.

You must know that before Suo Ya led the defenders of Tuxian County, there were only more than 50,000, which were several important attack points that the Western Zhou Dynasty vigorously promoted on the front line.

Luoxian, a county town that is barely considered to be the rear, has garrisoned troops second only to the important attack points on the front line, which shows that Ji Linbing and the Western Zhou front line attach great importance to Ping'an Town.

Jiang Daya, as the high-level military attache of the Tanshan camp guarding the granary of Ping'an Town, and also the confidant of the guard general Liu Yong, dare not say anything else, but he still has a clear understanding of the internal arrangement of soldiers and horses in Luo County.

Under his narration, Yan Kuitong and Chang Storm, who had just arrived, had a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the raid on Ping'an Town, especially the strict garrison of Ping'an Town, which was even a little beyond their imagination.

This made Yan Kui, Chang Bang and the generals of the Jin army all muttered in their hearts, can this raid successfully burn the grain and grass of the Zhou army............

It's no wonder that Yan Kui hesitated when they came to Ping'an Town, but the real situation of Ping'an Town they saw now was too different from the information they had seen before they came.

…………

In their intelligence, although there are many defenders in Luo County, they are distributed all over the country, and there are only about 10,000 Zhou troops in Ping'an Town.

The raiding troops could calmly take the small town of Ping'an Town, burn down the granary and then retreat quickly, if they moved quickly, even the defenders of Luo County could not react.

And today's reality is that although Ping'an Town does not have a lot of troops, it can rely on the city defense of Ping'an Town, which is not inferior to ordinary county seats, and after that, as long as the defenders of Ping'an Town hold for two hours, the first batch of reinforcements from Luo County will arrive, and the number will not be less than three thousand.

Immediately afterwards, there were 20,000 reinforcements arriving one after another within six hours, not to mention whether these people could keep the raiding Jin cavalry, but as soon as the 40,000 Zhou troops gathered, this grain attack plan would definitely be invalid.

Someone is going to say, isn't it over that the raiding force will take Ping'an Town before the main force of the Zhou army in Luo County arrives, and Yan Kui's attack on the Tanshan camp before it will take more than half an hour.

What I want to explain here is that the city defense level of Tanshan Camp and Ping'an Town is by no means comparable, and Tanshan Camp is a small wooden village, and the specifications are two points higher than that of ordinary marching camps.

Ping'an Town, on the other hand, is built of large bluestone, which is hard enough to resist large catapults.

As for the low-level defense of the Tanshan camp, if it weren't for Yan Kui's might, after Liu Yong strengthened the defense of the village, it was still unknown who would win and who would lose.

Replaced with a strong town of Ping'an, under a frontal attack, 10,000 cavalry ...... No, after the attack on the Tanshan camp, it was less than 10,000, counting 9,000...... Not to mention nine thousand, even if it is tripled, take thirty thousand cavalry.

It is also impossible to take the city in one day when Ping'an Town knows that reinforcements are coming.

Chang Bang and the other generals of the Jin army had extremely gloomy faces, Jiang Daya, who had just cleaned all the information in his stomach, looked at the ugly faces of the generals, couldn't help but shrink his head, and even the buckteeth exposed outside his lips filled his mouth, silently becoming a transparent person.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time, and finally it was broken by Chang Bang himself, and it was difficult for this Zhenbei general, who had cultivated himself in recent years, to suppress the anger in his heart, and scolded loudly.

"Damn, this group of rubbish from Long Xiao School is how to find out information, and I won't finish with them when I go back."

Chang scolded Long Xiaoxiao, but the generals echoed in their hearts but did not speak.

Long Xiaoxiao is not easy to mess with, as the Son of Heaven belongs, they are not only responsible for spying on intelligence, but also within the scope of their responsibilities to strictly investigate the misdeeds of court officials.

Chang Violent has a high grade, and he dares to argue with Long Xiaoxiao, they don't dare to offend these notorious emperor eagle dogs.

In fact, even Chang Bang didn't scold Long Xiaoxiao for much time, and after a quick mouth, he stopped greeting Long Xiaoxiao.

Of course, there are reasons why Chang Xiao is also afraid of Long Xiao School, but more importantly, he also knows in his heart, and it is no wonder that Long Xiao School is in this matter, or Chang Xiao also understands Long Xiao School's hardships.

Previously, there were two main sources of information about Ping'an Town from the raiding forces, one was the secret report that Chang Bang got from Peng Kuohai.

However, this is just a simple mark of Ping'an Town and new grain information, after all, it is a secret report, for the sake of confidentiality and convenient delivery, there will definitely not be too many things recorded, except for the most critical and important information, there are few details.

Therefore, most of the detailed information about Luo County and Ping'an Town was obtained from the second source, which was also obtained from Long Xiaoxiao.

And among them, there is another place to be discussed.

That is, although Long Xiaoxiao is the most outstanding intelligence agency in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty court is not a dry meal, and under its interference and destruction, the military intelligence obtained by Long Xiaoxiao in the Western Zhou Dynasty usually has a lot of incomplete omissions, and it may even be false information and traps deliberately exposed by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Ping'an Town is where the granary of the Western Zhou Dynasty is located, and the intelligence here is undoubtedly the top secret within the Western Zhou military, and the secrecy must be extremely cautious.

From this point of view, Long Xiaoxiao can be regarded as doing his best, and he can't carry all the pots to others, but now that the raiding troops are facing such a dilemma, Long Xiaoxiao doesn't carry the pot, so he can't let Chang Storm them come.

Alas, who made Long Xiao School's reputation stinky and deserved, and it was difficult for Chang Xiao to do it if he didn't want to............

…………

The black pot was arranged for Long Xiaoxiao, and his mouth was finished, but Ping'an Town still had to continue fighting.

Chang Zhenbei looked around the generals of the Jin army with an anxious face, and finally fixed his eyes on Yan Kui, who made Yan Kui's Tanshan camp fight too beautifully, so that Chang Biao couldn't help but trust the other party more at this critical moment.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Chang Storm is seeking combat power this time, and the generals he brought are a group of brainless fierce generals, and Yan Kui, a relatively brave and resourceful "wise general", inevitably stands out from it.

And Yan Kui did not live up to Chang Biao's high expectations, and happily gave his thoughts.

"General, now that the matter is now, I can only gamble."

"What a gamble."

Chang Bang is worthy of being an old soldier, knowing the current situation, it is impossible for Yan Kui to think of a perfect strategy, and there is no time, so he did not dwell on the word "gamble", and immediately asked about the method.

Yan Kui didn't reply directly, but pondered for a moment, and then said in a dumb voice: "The last general thinks that Ping'an Town has many strong soldiers, and reinforcements will come to help soon, so it is not appropriate to attack, so the last general suggested that the Zhou army should first pretend to approach the city wall."

Then we threw the canisters of fire oil we carried to the city wall, and then let the cavalry archers in the army fire rockets, as much as possible to form a fire, Ping'an Town is a matter of the granary of the army, once the fire starts, it will inevitably cause panic among the defenders.

We can take the opportunity to attack and cover and attack the city, as long as we enter the city, set fire to the food first, regardless of anything else, as long as the fire starts, our raid will be considered a success. ”

After listening to what Yan Kui said, the generals around him looked a little excited, but Chang Bang was not as easy to handle as the generals, he could climb to the top of the Northern Jin Dynasty military, and his strategic vision was not bad.

………………

As far as Yan Kui said, it is easy to set fire to the cavalry archers, but it is difficult to say whether the Zhou army in the city will be in chaos because of this, even if the defenders of Ping'an Town take care of the safety of the granary for a while, it is unknown whether the raiding cavalry can take this opportunity to kill in the city.

If the Jin army fails to seize the opportunity and the defenders in the city extinguish the fire, then the situation of the Jin army will be very passive.

And if the Jin army successfully entered the city, how to break through the resistance of the Zhou army in the city and quickly burn the grain and grass before the reinforcements arrived is also a big problem.

Chang Storm had led a large army to fight, and he knew that there were fire shelter facilities inside such a large granary, and even if a small part of the grain and grass were burned, under the effect of these fire shelters, the fire would not spread to the entire granary.

If you want to burn down all the granaries in Ping'an Town, the Jin army is bound to set fire to all parts of Ping'an Town as much as possible to expand the fire.

For these details, which are likely to lead to the failure of the raid, the generals can ignore them, and Chang Tyrant, the lord of the army, cannot ignore them.

But now the problem has turned back, the news that the Jin army sent troops to raid Ping'an Town has been exposed, and it is estimated that the Tanshan camp will not be hidden for long, the time is urgent, and there is no leisure for Changbang to think about these details.

Listening to Yan Kui's words, there may be a chance of success, but if you wait any longer, the defenders of Luo County receive news to help, then there is no possibility of success at all.

For this grain attack plan, Peng Kuohai almost started a full-scale war with the Zhou army, if he was on the verge of kicking, Chang Storm chose to retreat, and the old man could kill him alive.........

Chang Storm is not an indecisive person, he bowed his head and was silent for a hundred breaths, he took a deep breath and looked around at the generals.

"According to what Yuan Han said, remember, today when the tooth collapses, I have to bite a piece of meat for Lao Tzu Zhou Jun, I can't take Ping'an Town, everyone has one, and there is no fucking good fruit to eat, do you know what to do now."

"Take Ping'an Town at all costs."

The generals understood the seriousness of this matter, their eyes flashed blood-red, and the instinct of years of fighting made them feel it keenly.

It's time to go desperate............
