Chapter Seventy-Five: Outwitting Xinzhou

Chapter Seventy-Five: Outwitting Xinzhou

When everyone was about to retreat with these weapons and ingredients, they were pulled back by Shi Bin, and before he understood what was going on, he began to demonstrate: take off the dead man's clothes and put them on himself.

It seems that this commander has not yet exhausted the bad water, not only wants to use Zhao Gang to open the city gate and lure out the defenders in the city to annihilate him, but also wants to come to something else.

Having such a commander makes these subordinates feel a lot more at ease, after all, 'soldiers, treacherous.' ’

It's a good idea to have a mess. However, Shi Bin did not let everyone change into the clothes of the Yuan soldiers, leaving dozens of people wearing the clothes of the people on his body.

This time, Jia Ling and Wang San are a little unable to see through it, if you want to say that it is of course a good plan to use these fake soldiers to infiltrate the city, but why do you leave these dozens of people without changing their clothes? Once the door was opened by Zhao Gang, wasn't it just an urn to catch turtles?

knew that everyone couldn't see through it, but this time Shi Bin pretended not to explain profoundly, which could be regarded as letting his subordinates feel their level of strategy and strengthen their prestige.

Although Jia Ling hated his trickery, she also understood that this was the best way to increase her prestige, and that leaders needed to be arbitrary.

Once it is explained, Zhuge will pop up a lot afterwards, which is not good, but it is actually a weakening of the cohesion of the troops.

The mission of a soldier is 'obedience', and it is unconditional obedience, and to achieve this, what is needed is 'blind trust', and the best way is to 'play tricks' and achieve it with success that others cannot predict again and again.

The dead Yuan soldiers were hastily buried, and the troops were led out of the woods, at this time, as long as there was no obvious fork, Shi Bin could walk to Xinzhou on the official road in a dignified manner.

Because few people would think that a madman who killed the prince and slaughtered nearly 1,000 yuan soldiers would dare to lead people to attack Xinzhou and want to loot that county seat。。。。。

Even if there may be a few bold staff members who will have this conjecture, it is really difficult to believe that the current Song people are so bold.

Therefore, even if someone would propose to pay attention to the safety of the nearby county, they would be regarded as crazy by their colleagues, thinking that they were afraid of being beaten by the Song people.

Along the way, Shi Bin was not very happy, as if he understood his unhappiness, Jia Ling leaned over to tease him and said, "My Great Commander Shi, you can't be discouraged if you can fight like this, right?" Is it because of the gunpowder? ”

cast a 'knowingly asked' look, and said a little angrily: "This is my eldest lady on the march, don't pretend to be a ghost, if you have something to say, you will die if you are late." ”

Of course, this is reasonable, but Jia Ling is not convinced, obviously angry that he 'only allows the state officials to set fires, and does not allow the people to light lamps', but in the end, everyone is beautiful, not so small-bellied, took a deep breath, and said: "Your way of preservation is wrong." Although this is the north side, there is still a lot of moisture in the mountains and forests, so it should be concentrated in a sealed place. ”

Looking back, it was. Although he considered that the troops could carry more baggage, and separated the gunpowder so that they could each carry a base.

However, in this way, the contact range between gunpowder and air is increased, and the speed of moisture is accelerated.

Familiar with Jia Ling's temperament, Shi Bin knew that he didn't have to apologize, as long as he fought well and was a man who could reassure her, she wouldn't glance at a man with a silver-like pewter spear, so she ignored Jia Ling and only cared about the march.

Zhao Gang and his entourage have been walking for nearly three hours, and they should be about to arrive in Xinzhou, and it is estimated that they have intercepted many Yuan army heralds along the way.

Most of the Yuan soldiers near Taiyuan City focused their attention on the south, and should have sent troops to block all the passages to the south, so it was safest to go north, and Xinzhou should also be the easiest to attack at this time.

When the army arrived about thirty miles outside the city of Xinzhou, Shi Bin announced that he would camp and rest, but ordered that no fire should be made, and only horse meat should be eaten raw when he was hungry.

It's not that I haven't eaten raw food, but I've never seen it so simple and easy to say that eating raw meat is so simple.

After all, there is also the wife of his own commander in the team, the daughter of the commander of Huguang, could it be that if this daughter is allowed to eat raw meat, he will not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?

Those brothers, including Shi Bin, all had this idea, but they saw that Shi Bin was unmoved, and he didn't mean to change the military order.

What surprised them was that their sister-in-law didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with eating raw meat, as if she was quite excited, like she was going to eat some delicious meal. What flashed in Shi Bin's mind at this moment was β€”β€”β€”β€” sashimi and oysters.

Sure enough, eating raw horse meat was indeed very simple, not so painful, that is, it was hard to chew and a little greasy, and their commander and his wife were like savages who were excited to gnaw on the horse meat with blood on it.

was a complaining soldier, but seeing that the commander's wife could eat so with such relish, what could a group of big men say?

The brothers of life and death who got along with Shi Bin day and night were puzzled, how could the eldest brother, who had always been so polite and gentle, become such a fierce and vicious, wolf-like iron-blooded soldier as soon as he entered the north. Now it is more like a giant beast, and everyone agrees: Yuan Ren has poured blood mold on him.

"I won't say the truth, I believe everyone understands that this killing talent is the happiest thing for us! What is there to fear about eating raw meat to defeat the Yuan people? Give me food quickly, how can I kill the enemy if I don't have enough to eat? Kill the enemy when you're full! After explaining the confused guys, Shi Bin ignored the people and continued to eat.

It didn't take long for the day to dawn, and Shi Bin took his subordinates to eat a meal of raw horse meat that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Zhao Gang could speak Mongolian and carried the herald's waist card, so he naturally entered the city gate without hindrance and sent false news to the guard: Zhengzhou Daru Huachi ordered him to immediately lead most of his men and horses to block the small Song army in the north, and the defense of Xinzhou was taken care of by other troops.

An hour after Zhao Gang entered Xinzhou, Shi Bin ordered Shi Bin, who was disguised as a commoner, to enter the city in batches.

The group of soldiers disguised as civilians and preparing to enter the city were stopped by Wang San, who turned to Shi Bin and said, "Commander, the humble position seems to understand what you mean. Are you afraid that we will not be able to completely annihilate the Yuan army, and the enemy army will return to the city to report the news, so you sent this small force into the city to be responsible for guarding the city gate or reopening the city gate? ”

Looking at Wang San with a smile, Shi Bin knew that he couldn't hide this guy for long, and said with a smile: "That's true, I don't want the defeated soldiers to go back to report the news and close the city gate again, after all, our tiger squat cannon is useless for the time being." ”

Several brothers and relatives around couldn't help but admire, only Shi Bin knew that this was what he saw from the TV series, but it could be regarded as applying what he had learned.

"Commander, I think we can think a little more thoughtfully." Wang San suggested.

Of course, the words of this virtuous brother are useful, although they are only very euphemistic suggestions, which means that there must be places where he is not perfect, Shi Bin asked modestly: "Commander Wang, please speak." ”

Originally, Wang San thought that although the rattan armor brought into the city by soldiers in civilian clothes was like a basket, the appearance of some armor could be seen from the helmet, which was easy to be recognized.

So when you enter the city, just bring in the rattan armor that protects the torso.

Shi Bin nodded in praise after hearing this. So Shi Bin ordered Li Chao to take these dozens of people into the city in disguise.

Less than two hours after Zhao Gang entered Xinzhou, Shi Bin saw two battalions of infantry coming out of the city and heading straight for Taiyuan. Nature ordered his men to hide and prepare to work at ease. It's just that this time it is estimated that there will be some casualties, after all, it will not be so painful.

The group of soldiers soon entered Shi Bin's encirclement, and after most of them had passed, the troops intervened from behind them, taking them by surprise. It's just that this time, in order to reduce the number of soldiers who fled back to the city to participate in the defense, it was inevitable to engage in white-knuckle battles, and even with the advantage of rattan armor, the casualties were not small.

After a fierce battle, the two battalions of soldiers escaped less than 300 people, and Shi Bin's troops also suffered nearly 120 casualties. But the fighter plane was fleeting, and before the Yuan soldiers could recover their breath, Shi Bin had already taken the remaining more than 300 soldiers to cover up the past in Xinzhou with the fleeing Yuan army.

I thought that I would definitely be able to take Xinzhou City, which had not yet entered the defense, in one go, even if I realized the danger, it would take at least a quarter of an hour to react. What's more, there are still more than 300 Yuan soldiers outside the city.

But it is very surprising that the colonel guarding the city gate was so cold-blooded that he ordered the city gate to be closed without a military order.

Looking at the closed city gate, Wang San couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, he sneaked in dozens of soldiers first. Shi Bin, on the other hand, looked like he was expecting, and took the troops back to the mountains and forests to rest.

Seeing Shi Bin who fell asleep, ordinary soldiers are really a little bad to evaluate, and now they have indeed blocked the Xinzhou Yuan army, and dozens of soldiers have also infiltrated, but the city gate is closed inside and outside the city is to contact, even if the city gate is captured, if you can't support and defend the city gate in time, then what?

"Hurry up and rest, you will know how to enter the city when the time comes!" Then he said no more, and went to sleep for him.

The fierce battle was very tiring all day, so a few light and dark sentinels were arranged, and seeing that the commander was now calm, the rest of the people also fell asleep peacefully.

At about three o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden fire in the city of Xinzhou, and there was chaos. Shi Bin immediately got up and gathered his troops to rush to Xinzhou.

At about five o'clock, they arrived at the bottom of the city, and sure enough, dozens of warriors wearing rattan armor were fighting to kill the enemy, but they had already suffered heavy losses.

The city gate must not be recaptured by the Yuan army, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted. Without Shi Bin issuing an order, his subordinates had already rushed into the city desperately.

Yuan Bing is a good soldier in the end, and the battle of the city gate alone caused Shi Bin to suffer nearly 30 casualties, if it weren't for the continuous use of tactics, I am afraid that his assault team would have suffered casualties long ago.

After that, everything fell into the same way as planned before, and Xinzhou was 'recovered' by Shi Bin's department.

The people in the city cheered to welcome the Song army, which made Shi Bin and others deeply feel the taste of being heroes.

Sure enough, it makes people feel proud and makes people feel the value of life.

Although they had long been told that they were only commandos and could not stay long, the people were the most easily satisfied, and they still offered a lot of things that they were reluctant to eat to treat them.

After eating and drinking, he was faced with an awkward problem: what to do with the captives.

This time, Shi Bin didn't bother to distinguish whether there was a blood debt or not, this is not a bandit in the south, and he is not a saint who has revenge.

When the others were arguing about whether to kill or surrender, Shi Bin walked to the field without saying a word and slashed it.

He was tired of chopping and sat aside to rest, but the rest of his subordinates immediately came to "help" when they saw this scene, and within a stick of incense, more than 200 people in the field all died.

"Big brother, is there something wrong with what you're doing?" Wang San asked.

Knowing that Wang San would definitely ask like this, because once they left, the Yuan people would inevitably take revenge, and the object of revenge would be the Song people in the city.

"No, but no. They are kind but also weak, and they must pay for their weakness. After speaking, Shi Bin turned around and left.

After Shi Bin plundered enough grain and grass baggage, he opened a warehouse to release grain and burned the baggage that could not be taken away.

In this way, he retreated happily, and before leaving, he told them that the Yuan people would definitely retaliate, hoping to leave Xinzhou as soon as possible, and finally left the Yuan people with an empty city.

Although the recovery was only a short twelve hours, it was enough for the Southern Song Dynasty court to boast for a period of time.
