Chapter 104: Hitting the Snake and Hitting the Seven Inches
In a valley twenty miles east of Yucheng County, Qizhou, there are ten battalions of soldiers and horses encamped here at this time, and the two generals stand on a small dirt slope at the entrance of the camp, waiting for something with anticipation.
After a while, two scouts came on Pegasus, jumped off their horses and reported: "Report! The scouts from Zengtou City reported that the Ma Army of the Fourth Battalion of the Liangshan Army had suddenly turned back from Yaojia Town, Lingzhou, and turned around and returned to Liangshanpo. ”
Seeing that the young handsome general frowned slightly, he asked loudly, "How can this be?" ”
I heard another dusty and muddy scout say: "According to what we heard from the people who were ambushed on the side of the road, it was said that the scouts sent by Liangshanbo probed the headquarters of General Zhang in Yunzhou and drove north, and this Liangshan dog thief went back." ”
"This gang of thieves is cautious!" The scar-faced general sighed, turned his head and asked the young handsome general, "Eunuch, what should we do now?" ”
The young handsome general smiled bitterly and said, "This gang of thieves is really not simple, and they actually guessed the connection between my Yunzhou military horse and Zengtou City, and the intelligence work is so good."
What else can I do now? Can only ......"
As he was talking, he saw another horse galloping in the distance, rolling the saddle and getting off the horse to report: "Report! Outside the city of Yunzhou, there were frequent signs of activity of the Liangshan bandit army, and General Gong led his troops out of the city, but the gang of thieves immediately retreated, and this was the case for two days in a row.
After that, more than a dozen horsemen swaggered to the city to see, General Gong was extremely angry, and led the cavalry of both cities to pursue quickly, but they led them to the grove, and the ten thousand arrows shot General Gong wounded, and the rest of the knights were either shot to death, or captured, General Gong had to fight to the death and fled with wounds, and now he had to guard the city and not go out. ”
The young general couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked: "How is the city of Yunzhou now, and there are signs of siege in Liangshan?" ”
The scout said: "Now the Liangshan bandits only move in and out of Yunzhou every day, looking at the terrain, it looks like they are going to attack the city, and it seems to be a suspicious plan. ”
The young general was silent, and then he heard General Scarface ask: "Eunuch, now it seems that the Liangshan thieves have seen through our strategy, and they are no longer willing to fight Zengtou City, but they want to attack Yunzhou City while Yunzhou is empty." ”
Half paid, the young handsome general sighed, and ordered: "Pass the order, immediately start the camp, and go home." ”
The entire camp quickly moved into action, and looking at the chaotic appearance of his corporaries, the young handsome general couldn't help but sigh again.
The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has been completely eroded, these soldiers are so slack, it is no problem to fight ordinary bandits, but I don't know what will happen when I meet this group of Liangshan bandits.
Listening to Dong Ping tell himself, that gang of Liangshan thieves didn't know how to train it, their military formation was actually strict to the extreme, and they were also very disciplined when they started fighting, which can be described as an order and a ban, and thousands of people were the same.
I really don't know how a gang of such robbers suddenly appeared in this Liangshan Boli. What's even more ridiculous is that this gang of thieves doesn't even harass the people, and they still say that they want to do the right thing for heaven.
It is said that more than a dozen landlords in Jiliangzhou have done a lot of evil on weekdays, oppressed and bullied tenants and villagers, and distributed grain everywhere, and their reputation among the people is extremely high.
Nima, buying people's hearts like this, is this still a robber? This is a gang of anti-thieves, Jingdong is out of this anti-thief, and there will be no peace in the future.
Just as he was groaning, he heard the scar-faced general next to him ask: "Eunuch, the last general is thinking, didn't this gang of Liangshan thieves suddenly descend the mountain and stationed in the north of Liangshanbo, thirty miles southeast of Dulonggang?"
Since this Liangshan thief has seen through our strategy, why don't we directly attack Hujiazhuang in Dulonggang, but call Dong Ping and Huang An two regiments, lead the troops to sneak up to Liangshan, beat his lair, and make him take care of one and lose the other! ”
Zhang Dujian nodded and said, "For today's plan, this is a good way."
It's just that now we know that the intelligence of Liangshan is still too little, how many troops are there, and what is the combat effectiveness? We don't know how many generals and martial arts there are, but this battle is a bit difficult to fight. ”
But he heard a general behind Zhang Dujian say: "No matter how strong he is the Liangshan thief, how can he be the enemy of the Dujian one-handed locust flying stone stunt, when the time comes, he will come to fight one by one, and come to two to fight a pair, so that this gang of thieves knows that the capital prison does not have the prestige of feather arrows." ”
It turned out that this person was Zhang Qing, the new supervisor of Yunzhou soldiers and horses, and the person next to him who had scars on his face and neck was his deputy general, Ding Desun, the arrow tiger.
But he said that Zhang Qing heard that he was praising his flying stone skills, and he finally had a little more confidence and chance of winning in his heart.
Because according to Dong Ping, at least three of the Liangshan thieves are not below him in martial arts, and his marksmanship and martial arts are not as good as Dong Ping.
Fortunately, he has practiced a unique flying stone stunt in the world, and when the time comes, he can only hope that his flying stone can break the enemy.
But after thinking about it, I always felt that my heart was still a little bottomless, and I frowned and began to think about how to find out the truth of Liang Shanjun, but after a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind.
Pregnant......
When Zhang Qing and Ding Desun rushed back with ten battalions of soldiers and horses, Lin Chong also brought ten battalions of soldiers and horses to the city of Yunzhou, and began to attack the city without saying a word.
It was almost crushing, the ten battalions of soldiers and horses were suppressed by the arrow array and shield array, the cavalry protected the two wings and the back road, and thousands of former Zhujiazhuang and Zhu surnamed laborers pushed the shield cart to fill the trench.
In only one and a half days, the moat of Yunzhou was filled, and after noon the next day, the assault began.
However, Lin Chong's battle was completely different from other generals, and Lin Chong was not surrounded by four sides to attack the city, nor did he feint and attack on one side, let alone attack on three or four sides.
Lin Chong's style of play is to only attack one side, in fact, this is quite passive, because on the strong attack side, the sergeants defending the city can concentrate the main force to defend, spread people on one wall, and can take turns to fight and rest.
But Lin Chong did so, under the city wall, Lin Chong ordered people to carry the mound of earth, fill in two small mounds higher than the city wall, and then use the divine arm bow and the foot bow to suppress the fire on the city head, and twenty catapults as heavy fire support.
As a result, the two sides fired at each other for an afternoon, and the heavy catapults kept smashing the city wall, and the Liangshan army simply beat the Yunzhou forbidden army did not dare to rise on the city wall.
Moreover, because the Liangshan army had already conducted many war games for the battle and had done many siege exercises, this time in addition to the consumption of feather arrows, the casualties on the Liangshan army's side were much lower than those of the Yunzhou defenders.
This is Lin Chong's operational thinking, to calculate the war, we must make a lot of preparations before the war, intelligence reconnaissance, combat strategy, soldier mobilization, and material supplies must be completely prepared.
In the end, it is either not to fight, and if you want to fight, you must strike with thunder, and you will be killed with one blow.
And for what to fight, who to fight, and how to fight, these must also be decided by themselves, and they must follow their own routines.
They thought that if Zeng Tou City provoked casually, they would rush to hit Zeng Tou City with a white face, and then they would attack them from both sides, how could they fall for them?
Therefore, after getting the accurate information that Shi Xiu and Shi Qian came back from, Lin Chong made a decisive move while playing Zengtou City in the next battle book, hit the snake and hit seven inches, and directly took the main force to Yunzhou Prefecture City on the edge of Shuibo.
