Chapter 133: Recovering Xianglin County
It didn't take long for both of them to report up, and it was roughly the same, it turned out that this time Zhenla divided his troops into two ways, one way 25,000 people attacked Rinan, and all the way 45,000 people attacked Xianglin. Today's defeated men and horses are the 25,000 men, and there are no reinforcements behind them.
Feng Daiwen called Zhao Chengen and asked him to arrange for people to guard the city and guard the prisoners. Then, the next day, a few hundred people who were familiar with the terrain were selected to follow him to Xianglin County.
In a victorious battle, more than 5,000 people were killed, nearly 10,000 surrendered and wounded were captured, and the rest escaped without a trace. On the other hand, the Lingnan soldiers have to say that recruits are recruits, even if they fight with the wind, dozens of unlucky people are killed, and even more unlucky are dozens of people who were injured by mistake and themselves. However, after a big battle, the spirit was completely different, and the spies of Rinan County found that the Zhenla people had indeed retreated, and it should be said that they were frightened and ran into the mountains and forests to escape without a trace. Due to the hot weather, the bodies were buried on the spot, and the Lingnan soldiers took the ashes after cremation.
After a smooth ride, he rushed to Xianglin County three days later, and because he did not know the situation in the city, he went ashore ten miles away and sent a horse to inquire about the news.
Half an hour later, Tanma brought news that Xianglin County didn't even close the city gate, but the city gate was guarded a little more. It is impossible to find out how many men are guarding it, nor is it clear what the situation is in the city.
Feng Daiwen decided to take a look at it with his own eyes and make a decision, and took Wang Xuance and a few people to the outside of Xianglin City, which is worthy of being the former Linyi Capital, which is a little larger than Rinan City, it is a relatively regular square, the east side is close to the hillside, and in the woods for half a mile, Feng Daiwen carefully observed for a while and asked, "What do you think?" Tell me what you think. ”
The eldest Wang Xuance clenched his fists and replied: "General, it seems that these Zhenla people should not have much defense, after all, the two largest counties are surrounded by their people, and the soldiers and horses of the former Linyi are mainly in these two places. Therefore, the last general thought that he could sneak attack at night, and he would inevitably go down in one go. ”
Feng Daiwen didn't speak, and looked at the other people, Li Yifu smiled and said, "The lower officials don't understand military affairs, so they don't talk nonsense." ”
Liu Renliang said: "The last general agrees with Wang Changshi's opinion, although the new army has seen the increase in casualties in blood, it is still a sneak attack. ”
"You guys also have this opinion, how to sneak attack and how to arrange it" Feng Daiwen still didn't express an opinion, looked at them and asked again.
"In the opinion of the last general, this city is flat on both sides, one side is against the mountain, and the other is by the sea, it is better to attack from both sides, and the enemy can only flee to the side of the mountain, and then arrange for some people to ambush here." Liu Renyuan suggested.
"Yes, you are all on an expedition for the first time, and it is rare to be able to think of so many according to the situation, attacking cities and plundering land, not only considering the terrain, the enemy's situation, but also the weather. Not only do you want to save your own people, but you also want to maximize your interests, so you can't let the enemy escape this time, understand? Feng Daiwen said with a satisfied smile.
"Hehe, this is a point of understanding for the lower officials, but the general wants to be in the Fortune Square of this city." Li Yifu said with a smile.
"Yes, after all, Xianglin returned to the Tang Dynasty, and it was not easy to do it normally, and now the little prince died in the enemy army, just to avenge the little prince." Feng Daiwen glanced at Li Yifu, and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a traitorous material, so sensitive to money.
Only then did the others react, how much wealth a capital of several hundred years can be imagined, and it happened that the rebels entered the city, and there was no way to check it in the future. Wang Xuance, Liu Renliang's face was a little difficult to look at in an instant.
"Tell everyone that all seizures are not allowed to be hidden, those who find them will be killed, and they will be rewarded uniformly after the war, with this batch of wealth, I Datang can have a lot of weapons and equipment." Feng Daiwen ordered.
Only then did everyone understand Feng Daiwen's intentions, and he didn't want to swallow it privately. Wang Xuance said ashamedly: "The last general is ashamed to suspect the general's intentions. ”
Liu Renliang also lowered his head and said: "The general is instructed with his heart, and the last general is really ashamed." ”
Feng Daiwen waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "It's good that you can have such a mind, I'm very happy, it shows that you are not greedy for money." Just fight this battle with your heart. ”
"Please give the general an order!" Receiving Feng Daiwen's appreciation, everyone happily raised their heads and hugged their fists.
"What you just said is very good, but the efficiency of the attack at night is too low, arrange to attack in the early morning of tomorrow, the veterans will enter the city and open the city gate, divide into a team of 100 people to advance, and surround on three sides, Xi Junmai with Wang Xuance, Cheng Wuting, Feng Daihuo with Liu Renyuan, Liu Renliang with 3,000 people on both sides of the attack, Li Yifu with 500 people to guard the door by the sea, if someone escapes, he will surrender, and if he is disobedient, he will greet with crossbow arrows, and if you don't have a general, try not to meet each other in short arms." Feng Daiwen tried his best to explain it clearly to them. Then he went back and instructed Zhao Chengen to lead people into the city to find out the enemy's situation.
That night, he arranged people to guard the three gates to prevent the enemy from suddenly withdrawing, and explained his own experience such as how to conduct urban warfare and how to cooperate to a group of newcomers, and told the recruits that there would be a heavy reward when they returned to Lingnan after the battle, so as to improve morale.
As soon as there was a little light in the sky, they each set off with their troops, and they happened to be full of infantry, and they were not afraid of alarming the city with too loud noises. As soon as Feng Daiwen led people to touch the city wall, he saw a head poking out of the city wall and shouted in a low voice: "General, General Feng." ”
Feng Daiwen was startled, thinking that he had been discovered, and looked up to see that it was Zhao Chengen.
"Wait a minute, the general will open the city gate immediately." Zhao Chengen shouted in a low voice.
It turned out that Zhao Chengen touched the gate of the city and found that there were not many guards at all, so he led people to clean up the guards and waited for Feng Daiwen to arrive.
A heavy sound of the door opening sounded, but no one came to check, and Zhao Chengen's nervous face relaxed as the city gate opened.
"Is there a main force of the enemy?" Feng Daiwen asked.
"I found it, they are all in the former palace, the current prince's mansion, and the others are near the city gate." Zhao Chengen replied quickly.
"Chen Xiong took 500 people to clean up the barracks at the city gate, and the others came with me." Feng Daiwen immediately ordered, and then followed straight to the palace.
It is said that it is a palace, but in fact it is a palace group, Feng Daiwen led people to rush to the city when the time was already full of fighting sounds, and there were soldiers and horses rushing out of the palace, it should have been heard that the people in the city were rioting when they heard the fight outside, and wanted to come out to suppress it.
The two sides just took a look at the gate of the palace, Feng Daiwen raised his hand and shot, and then ordered the guards to shout: "Release!" A rain of arrows fell on the heads of the Jinla, and immediately a large crowd lay down on the opposite side and wailed incessantly.
Feng Daiwen hung the crossbow on his waist, raised the knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The three hundred guards did not hesitate to follow and rushed forward with a roar.
