Chapter 422 Prevention is better than prevention
Due to various factors, after Lin Xiao quickly led his army to set up camp under Suiyang City, he immediately sent spies to inquire about Lin Feng's news and the situation in Suiyang City. However, he received a warning from Song Jun.
At first, Lin Xiao led 30,000 Yan troops to Suiyang City, and he did have the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but Meng Kuo actually sent his deputy general Cao Kun to the Yan army camp, with a tough and domineering tone, and asked the Yan army to quickly withdraw from Suiyang City 100 miles away, otherwise the Song army would rather stop attacking Suiyang City and hit the Yan army hard. Hearing this, Lin Xiao was furious and personally taught Cao Kun a lesson, and asked people to throw him out of the Yan army camp.
Lin Xiao didn't know that Meng Kuo and Lin Feng had torn their faces, but in his bones he hated the domineering practices of the Song army, at the beginning, when the Yan Kingdom was at stake, when he was sixteen years old, he dared to stand up and lead the Yan army to defeat the Rong people. Now, after several years of war training, whether it is military quality, combat experience, or personality in dealing with people, has been greatly improved, how can we be afraid of Meng Kuo and the Song army.
Meng Kuo felt that he led 30,000 Yan troops to come, and he didn't take Lin Xiao in his eyes, on the contrary, Lin Xiao was still holding back anger in his heart, not to mention more than 100,000 Song troops, even if the Song army was at its peak and had a mechanical army to rely on, if he dared to make a mistake, he would not hesitate to lead more than 200,000 Yan troops under his command and set foot on the Song army camp.
Because he was anxious to capture Suiyang City, and worried about causing stubborn resistance from the Liang army, before leaving, Lin Xiao simply led 30,000 people, took Ashina and Akui with him, and Zat, Kamon and other generals led 200,000 Yan troops to garrison a hundred miles away from Suiyang City.
At this moment, Lin Xiao not only did not listen to Meng Kuo's threat to evacuate Suiyang City, but on the contrary, began to deploy military intelligence with Ashina and Akui, preparing to attack Suiyang City.
Lin Xiao is shooting iron armor, bright eyes and bright teeth, majestic eyes, young age, and already has a bit of a famous general's demeanor. glanced at Ashina and Aki, and asked, "Ashina, Aki, talk about your thoughts, what should I do next?"
Ashina took two steps forward and whispered to Lin Xiao: "General, the last general feels that before attacking Suiyang City, he should first guard against the Song army, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, the general violently beats Cao Kun, it will inevitably cause the Song army to hold a grudge, let's attack the army of Suiyang City, we have to guard against it."
Rather offend the real villain, not offend the hypocrite, although Meng Kuo is not a hypocrite, but Lin Xiao beat Cao Kun violently, undoubtedly did not put Meng Kuo in his eyes, nor did he put the Song army in his eyes, if the Yan army attacked Suiyang City and won, but the Song army was secretly making trouble, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment when he heard this, nodded, and said earnestly: "Tell Zatt and Carmon that the army will move forward fifty miles, closely monitor the Song army, and if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; If anyone offends me, I will offend someone, and if there is any disturbance in the Song army, the army will immediately press the border, and if necessary, annihilate the Song army."
Even if it is clear that the alliance between Chen, Song and Yan is still a community of interests, but the Song army dares to threaten the Yan army, and Lin Xiao will not be a turtle with a shrunken head.
"Yes" Ashina received the order, turned around and walked out of the big tent, and explained a few words to the guards, before returning to the tent, cleared his throat, and said to Lin Xiao with a respectful expression: "After Suiyang City suffered from the flood, the east city wall was seriously damaged, and the east gate was destroyed by the Song army.
It is easy for the Yan army to enter Suiyang City, and it will not cost much, but it is a little difficult to break into the Liang Palace, and the last general heard that during the battle of the Liang Palace, Emperor Liang personally beat the drum to cheer, and the prince Liu Junxi fought bravely, and when the Liang army was in a desperate situation, the morale was still high, and the general of the Liang Palace must be completely sure, otherwise, we are very likely to return in vain. ”
Lin Xiao chuckled, supported his arms on the side of the sand, and said: "In Suiyang City, 20,000 Liang troops, it is difficult to form a climate, the current opponent only occupies a geographical advantage, what morale is high, it is not a battle of trapped beasts, the Yan army attacked Liang Palace, you must not take the enemy lightly, but you don't have to be afraid of Liang Jun, Ashina, that day, how did you break into Jinyang Palace"
At the beginning, the Yan army attacked Jinyang City, Ashina led the army to attack Jinyang Palace, Lin Xiao remembered that the other party had not spent much time at present, the combat power of the Liang army far exceeded that of the Jin army, and Liu Wenlong was not Beichen Qiong, and it may be difficult to attack Liang Palace, but it is not impossible to concoct it in the same way.
Ashina said without thinking: "On that day, the last general led 5,000 Yan troops to suppress the Jin army with a rain of arrows, and burned the gate of Jinyang Palace with fire oil, and half an hour later, he smashed Suiyang City with siege equipment."
"Well, attack Liang Palace, let's also use this method" When Lin Xiao heard this, he thought that Ashina's method of attacking Jinyang Palace was good.
However, Akui stood up and blocked: "General, not long ago, the Song army's troops attacking the Liang Palace were the crossbow battalion, after the Liang army fortified the palace wall, the Song army's crossbow battalion failed to cause damage to the other party, on the contrary, the last general sent a spy to inquire after leaving in embarrassment, it turned out that the Liang army demolished many pavilions and pavilions in the palace, and built a city defense on the palace wall with wooden stakes. ”
At this time, Lin Xiao touched his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought, Akui was right, the Yan army was difficult to resist with the Song army's crossbow, and even the Song army failed to conquer the Liang Palace by relying on the arrow array, and the Yan army was afraid that there was not much hope.
In contemplation, Lin Xiao's thoughts suddenly brightened, and he said to Akui: "Akui, when the army is advancing, prepare more oil and fire, draw out two thousand archers, and attack it with rockets, no matter how powerful the fortifications the Liang army builds on the palace wall, can it still withstand the fire?"
Lin Xiao felt that when the Song army attacked the Liang Palace, it coincided with a heavy rainy day, and the Liang army had a tight defense, and the crossbow battalion was naturally difficult to hurt the Liang army.
Akui understood Lin Xiao's deployment, and did not continue to speak, it seems that this is the only way to do it at present, the Song army flooded Suiyang City, and the Yan army burned Liang Palace, the two happened to correspond to each other, making the Liang army defenseless.
At this time, Lin Xiao said: "Ah Kui, when the Yan army attacked Suiyang City, you personally led 10,000 Yan troops to quickly clear the remnants of the Liang army and the private soldiers of the family in Suiyang City, Ashina, you led 10,000 Yan troops to feint from the south gate of Liang Palace to attract the attention of the Liang army, and this king personally led 10,000 people to attack from the east gate, and the three armies joined forces to occupy Suiyang City and capture Liang Palace within half a day. ”
Words, Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and asked the two: "If you have anything else to add, what suggestions do you have, just say it"
The two shook their heads, at present, Lin Xiao is properly deployed, and the next thing to do is to directly attack Suiyang City and Liang Palace.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao raised his head and said, "Since there is no objection, the army will immediately start and attack Suiyang City." ”
Lin Xiao didn't know why Lin Feng gave up Suiyang City and disappeared with his army, however, since he encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would never watch the opportunity drain away from his eyes in vain.
Although the matter of falling into the well and taking advantage of the fire to rob seems a bit despicable, but the two armies are facing each other, only caring about victory or defeat, and all morality and etiquette seem pale and powerless.
Not long after Lin Xiao led the 30,000 Yan army to set off, Meng Kuo learned what had happened from the spy, and glanced at Cao Kun, who was in pain next to him, slammed his fist on the case, and said angrily: "Lin Xiao deceived people too much, in front of Bai Yufei, Li Kaize, and Ma Junran, who felt that the Song army was weak, Bai Yufei, Li Kaize, and Ma Junran immediately led the trap camp and the 100,000 soldiers of the crossbow battalion to march towards Suiyang City, and it was bound to seize Suiyang City before the Yan army, and rob it is the wealth of Liang Palace."
In the previous battle, the Song army suffered few casualties, but because of the rain fighting, there were no more sick people in the Song army.
Even ignoring the alliance between the Yan and Song dynasties to beat Cao Kun violently, it is tolerable, forbearable, since he Lin Xiao is ready to take Suiyang City, he just makes him unhappy, 30,000 Yan army cavalry, how can the strength shown be comparable to the 100,000 Song army.
The Song army took the lead in occupying Suiyang City, even if the Yan army entered Suiyang City, would it still take Suiyang City from the Song army, once the matter reached this point, the Song and Yan countries would be completely torn apart.
However, the three generals of Bai Yufei had not yet walked out of the tent, but the guards outside recklessly broke into the tent, and said in a hurry: "General, the spies report that hundreds of thousands of cavalry are rapidly moving in the direction of Suiyang City a hundred miles away."
"Hundreds of thousands, the Liang army or other vassal state troops" Hearing this, Meng Kuo suddenly became cautious, near Suiyang City, only hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry under the command of Ju Wentai, the general of Liang State, appeared at this moment A hundred miles away from the Song army camp, Meng Kuo couldn't help but sigh, could it be that the wolf cavalry defeated Li Mu, the Zhao Zheng coalition army led by Xing Yike, or rather, because the Song army flooded Suiyang City, Ju Wentai led the army and quickly rushed back to King Qin.
The guard's head shook like a rattle, and said, "The subordinates are not clear, the situation is urgent, and the spies have not yet found out the identity of the other party."
"Bastard, send someone to check immediately, be sure to find out the identity of the person who came" Meng Kuo shouted angrily like an angry lion, if the troops rushing forward were really the wolf cavalry led by Ju Wentai, according to the current number and equipment of the Song army, they would inevitably face a big battle next. "Bai Yufei, Ma Junran, Li Kaize, stop the attack on Suiyang City, and immediately mobilize the army to defend it to prevent the other party from attacking"
Bai Yu Fei took the order, and quickly walked towards the outside of the tent, but quickly turned back, and said to Meng Kuo with a strange expression: "General, the last general remembers that there are more than 200,000 cavalry under Lin Xiao's command, and at present, Lin Xiao only led 30,000 cavalry to appear under Suiyang City, and the last general guessed that at this moment, the troops that are quickly approaching Suiyang City will not be the Yan army under Lin Xiao's command."
