"You are Lin Chong, the king of my family wants me to bring you a message, you dare to invade my country's land, these Song pig slaves are your fate! His Royal Highness the King of Jin of my family is waiting for you in front, don't run if you have eggs......"

When the junior officer of the West Thief said these words, Mei Jiasheng also reported to Lin Chong on the side: "Military master, these are dead soldiers, only tortured Brother Richard, the king of the West Thief Jin, and asked them to wait for us here on purpose, first, to try the combat strength of our army, and second, to pass the word to the military master, and ask us to fight a decisive battle in the military division in the north!" ”

In order to conquer the Western Xia, Lin Chong naturally knew a lot about the intelligence of the Western Xia, so he knew that the Western Xia established the country by force, and since Li Yuanhao, he has set up the Twelve Prison Military Divisions of the Left and Right Chambers in the whole territory, namely the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division and the Shizhou Xiangyou Military Division...... The right wing is the Chaoshun Military Division, and the Montenegro Weifu Military Division.

After Li Yuanhao's death, due to the needs of the war, he successively added the Xiangqing Military Division, the Consul General in Xiping Mansion, and the Beidi Central Military Division, adding a total of 17 military supervision divisions.

In the words of later generations, a military supervision department is equivalent to a military division.

The Central Military Division of the North is less than 130 miles north of Xingqing Mansion, and it is a military town specially set up to guard the security of the northern part of Xingqing Mansion in order to guard against the Khitan.

Brother Richard asked the Liangshan army to fight a decisive battle in the Northland, unless his brain was caught in the door.

Because the more than 100,000 troops of the Western Army have already surrounded Xingqing Mansion with walled walls and trenches, the Western Army may go north to help at any time in the decisive battle here, and when the two families are inseparable, they will suddenly kill and annihilate the main force of the Western thieves in one fell swoop.

Brother Richard is also a world-famous general, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Lin Chong couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking in his heart what kind of calculation Brother Richard was making.

At this time, Han Shizhong, who had not finished his words before, spoke again: "Lin Jiedu, it is absolutely impossible for Brother Richard to fight a decisive battle with our military division in the Northland!" ”

Lin Chong nodded and said, "I naturally know this, so what do you want to do when Brother Richard does this?" ”

Han Shizhong thought for a while and said: "The last general has always felt that Brother Richard is using a strong wall to clear the wilderness, luring the enemy into the tactics, and when we are sleepy and lacking, the food and salary are exhausted, and the morale is low, he will lead the army to counterattack and win the battle!"

Master Lin, you think, all the villages we encountered along the way were empty villages, and many of them were even burned to the ground, and they didn't even leave us a place to shelter from the wind. Now Brother Richard ordered people to torture and kill the Song villagers, wanting to anger the Lin military master.

The last general bets that when we get to the Northland, Brother Richard of the Central Military Division will definitely not be there, and even if there are really thieves waiting for us there, the number of people will definitely not be large, and they will definitely run away as soon as they do.

Even in the city, there are hundreds of thousands of villagers who have been tortured and killed, we don't have much food and grass, and we can't get replenishment along the way, if we chase them all the way, I'm afraid of ......."

After a pause, Han Shizhong made the following summary: "Brother Richard is doing this to provoke us, he wants to lead us by the nose, and wait for us to get into their preset ambush circle, and then suddenly counterattack when the food and grass are exhausted, and I hope Lin Jiedu will think deeply!" ”

Lin Chong nodded again, and asked Wu Jiedao again, "What does General Wu think?" ”

Wu Jiedao: "My thoughts are similar to those of Brother Han, I remember the battle of Helan Mountain a few decades ago, the western thief Li Yuanhao used this tactic to clear the wilderness, deceitful defeat and feign defeat to lure the enemy deep, and wait until the Liao army was sleepy and exhausted before launching a counterattack, and the result was almost the total annihilation of the Liao army. This time, Brother Richard should want to repeat his old tricks. ”

At this time, Luan Tingyu, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen, Xu Ning, Shi Jin, Hua Rong, Zhang Xiucen and others also arrived one after another, and when they saw these corpses that were carried out of the village, they couldn't help but breathe fire in their eyes and scolded loudly.

"A brute raised by a son of a bitch, how dare the thief be so ......"

"Brother, the Western Thieves are so mad, we must not spare them!"

After Lin Chong joined up with the large army, he called everyone to a meeting and announced the battle plan and the handling of the western thieves.

At that time, Lin Chong meant that whenever he encountered the western thief village and the city, after breaking through, he robbed all the supplies, horses, cattle and sheep, and set fire to those who could not be taken away.

As for the captive population, if it was a Han slave or their descendants who had been plundered by the Western Thieves, they would be rescued; If it is a Dangxiang Qiang person, as long as they are not soldiers, they can avoid death if they surrender on their knees, and they will be escorted by the rescued Han "slaves", and the Liangshan army will send troops to escort them.

As for the Western Thieves who were captured by the Liangshan Army, Lin Chong explained at that time that they would not accept surrender if they defeated the Western Thieves on the front line of Armageddon, and killed those who could not escape.

Because it is impossible to carry prisoners of war with them in raids, not only do they consume food and grass in vain, but they must always be on guard against their backlash; If you send troops to escort them back, the strength of the Liangshan army will be greatly dispersed, so it is a good choice not to take prisoners.

Lin Chong just wanted to use this method to force Brother Richard to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the Liangshan army, and when it was really time for the decisive battle, he could send people to shout in front of the battle to accept the surrender of the Western Thieves.

After all, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry, and promising them to kneel and surrender without killing can not only disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Western Thieves, but also avoid unnecessary losses of the Liangshan army.

In the art of war, the so-called principle of "encircling three divisions and one unit" or "encircling the division must be que" is exactly what it says, and what is fought is psychological warfare.

Moreover, after accepting the surrender of the Western Thieves soldiers, for some Western thieves and important officers who did a lot of evil, the Liangshan Army also had ways to kill them, such as military court trials, such as sending them to coal kilns and cement kilns to die of exhaustion.

In addition to these, other ordinary Western Thief prisoners of war, Liangshan Army can also absorb a small number as mercenaries, and most of them are sent to Jingdong for free hard labor, which can save a lot of wages.

How do you know that Brother Richard found out that the 30,000 cavalry of the Liangshan Army arrived in Guanxi, and they began to clear the walls early in the morning, and the Liangshan Army marched 200 miles a day for two days without even grabbing a stockade, nor did they get a grain of food.

That's not all, Brother Richard actually ordered the torture and killing of Han "slaves", and did such a conscientious thing, Liang Shanjun naturally couldn't be so cheap with these beasts.

It must be a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!

Lin Chong gritted his teeth and said: "This is natural, I ordered to go down, this time to conquer the western thief, and don't take prisoners in the whole process!" Surrender is not accepted! ”

Most of the Western Thieves could understand the Song Dynasty, and several Western Thieves immediately couldn't help but tremble, but the Western Thief Officer who spoke ruthlessly looked at Lin Chong suspiciously, as if he was quite happy.

Lin Chong also ignored him, this product was about to be cut by a thousand knives, and Lin Chong was naturally too lazy to waste time on him.

By this time all the corpses had been carried to the pyre, and the flames were burning, looking at the corpses that were engulfed in flames, and surrounding the flames
