Chapter 403: The Past, Jin Shan
Lin Chong didn't really care much about Wang Huan's 10,000 soldiers and horses, the only thing he was worried about was that Wang Huan sent heavy troops to guard the line of Fukou, so Lin Chong could only go all the way south from Taihang to cross Taihang Mountain.
However, the terrain of Taihang is even more dangerous than that of Fukou, and when Lin Chong's march of hundreds of miles arrives, the Song army will definitely be heavily guarded.
At that time, his 40,000-strong army will be locked up in the mountains east of the river.
Although even so, the Song army also eliminated itself, and he could have knocked down all the state capitals in this area, and slowly followed the Song army, that is, he used human lives to fill in the grenade bombing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass this Taihang Mountain?
But in this way, it is not the battle situation I want.
The situation that he had already thought about on the march was that the ten thousand horsemen rolled up Pinggang, reproducing the battle situation in the original history when the Jurchen iron cavalry went south to encircle Bianliang City, forcing Zhao Ji to take the initiative to sue for peace.
Who told Zhao Song to be in Bianliang, this place of four battles, a place where there is no danger to defend?
Whether it is the Liao State, the Jurchen or the Liangshan Army, in the case of the abolition of the Hebei Forbidden Army, they can directly kill the city of Bianliang with one horse and Pingchuan.
Lin Chong wanted to teach Zhao Ji and the imperial court center a lesson in advance, so that they could know how fragile the prosperity and wealth they saw in front of them were!
After Lin Chong finished talking about the plan, Yuan Lang, Li Cheng, Han Chang and others didn't ask what to do if Xu Jing didn't fight, but asked, "Are you still rushing directly into battle like before?" ”
"Yes, but be careful to stay away from the walls, and watch out for their divine arm bows!"
Speaking of the four armies of Song Liaojin and Western Xia, Lin Chong was most afraid of the Song army, because of the divine arm bow; However, the best fight is also the Song army, because except for the Western Army, it has not fought for more than ten years.
Armament is lax, training is lax, empty pay is commonplace, and the will to fight is extremely weak...... Such an army often only needs to defeat its advance in the first wave of battle, or capture its main general, and the other troops will often flee (surrender).
Lin Chong glanced at Li Cheng, Pang Wanchun, and Han Chang, and said, "It's all up to the three of you this time, remember Xu Jing, I want to live!" ”
The three of them patted their chests excitedly: "Don't worry, the military master will ensure that the task is completed!" ”
The discussion was closed, and a hundred horsemen remounted their horses, and all of them mounted their horses, which had never been burdened, ready to give it a go.
On the other side, Zhang Shuye, who arrived about a quarter earlier than Lin Chong, told Xu Jing and Zhiwei Shengjun about his experience in the Liangshan army and guessed.
"Xia Guan thought that Lin Chong was going to break the cauldron and fight against the water, and it was estimated that the Liangshan cavalry was already on the way south at this time!"
Xu Jing is almost sixty years old this year, and in his early years, he also followed the Western Army in Guanxi to fight with the Western thieves and the Qiang people of the Tubo tribes.
At this time, after listening to Zhang Shuye's words, he couldn't help but have a ridiculous and abnormal feeling: "In this case, why didn't Lin Chong raid quickly, and why did he let Xianggong come over to report the news?" ”
"Xiaguan doesn't understand it either, but Xiaguan feels that Lin Chong didn't lie to me, or that he wanted to attack Tongluo County in a dignified manner."
Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Arrogant! ”
Fools know that it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, although Tongluo County is only a small city, but the city is also high and deep, the garrison is complete, all kinds of equipment for defending the city, rolling wood and stone, gold juice ash bottles, there are all kinds of weapons to defend the city, the god arm bow and the three-bow bed crossbow.
His 10,000 soldiers and horses plus the original 2,000 defenders here are enough to be divided into two groups to defend the city in turn, as long as the food is enough, it will be a problem to defend for half a year, Lin Chong dares to despise himself so much!
Uncle Zhang also felt ridiculous, but still said: "Anyway, please ask the old general to prepare early, in my estimation, the Liangshan army will arrive before sunset!" ”
Xu Jing said: "Zhang Xianggong rest assured, Ben Shuai inspected the city defense as soon as he arrived, the garrison is sufficient, the city is high and deep, as long as Lin Chong dares to come, he will not be able to please him, and he will be ...... when he runs out of food."
Before Xu Jing finished speaking, he heard a report from his own soldiers: "Jie Shuai, the cavalry of the Liangshan Army has arrived, and they are calling for battle outside the city!" ”
Xu Jing, Zhang Shuye and the Zhiwei Shengjun He Mei looked awe-inspiring, and secretly said so quickly, and then the three of them came to the gate tower of Beicheng with their own soldiers and saw Lin Chong under the city.
"In the city, people give the nickname Xu Lao Ape, and Xu Jing is the envoy of the Party Festival? My family Wen Junshi asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I don't know if it's always good? ”
Seeing Lin Chong riding alone from afar, and seeing that he was about to approach the range of the Divine Arm Bow, the crossbowmen on the city wall couldn't help but raise their crossbows to aim at Lin Chong.
The official family has issued a holy decree, and killing Lin Chong can reward 100,000 yuan, and the capital will be controlled.
Even if there are hundreds of divine arm archers on the city wall, there is no way to know who shot them to death, but if they share the credit together, each person can get a few hundred, and at least the first team is right!
Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Lin Chong is simply not a person, but a mountain of gold, and everyone can't help but shine in their eyes when they look at him.
Lin Chong could only advance ten or so steps, and then ten thousand arrows were fired at once, shooting him into a hedgehog.
However, Lin Chong's general stopped outside the farthest range of the Divine Arm Bow, and shouted loudly, and even made a friendship with his boss, and all the sergeants showed regretful expressions and turned their heads to look at Xu Jing.
When Xu Jing heard Lin Chong talk about Wen Huanzhang, he couldn't help but show a look full of emotion, and at the same time ordered the crossbowman to put down the crossbow machine in his hand.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I don't want Mr. Wen to remember me, Xu Jing has always been very good, I don't know if Mr. Wen has always been good?" Wen Huanzhang bowed to Lin Chong.
It turned out that Xu Jing was also from a wealthy family, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and learned a good skill, but because his family was in the middle of the road, he was not good at running the industry, and finally had to travel around the rivers and lakes, making a living by making guns and sticks, and selling medicine.
At that time, Xu Jing was fortunate to meet Wen Huanzhang, who was the chief bookkeeper of Zezhou, and was appreciated by Wen Huanzhang, and then Xu Jing was hired as a teacher in Zezhou Guojiazhuang Nursing Home, and met Yun Niang, a woman who was an entertainer in the rivers and lakes, and became husband and wife.
I didn't want Zhang Shouli, the governor of Zezhou, to get a glimpse of Yun Niang's beauty, and conspired with Guo Zhuang to order Yun Niang to go to the state capital to perform, and wanted to occupy Yun Niang, Yun Niang committed suicide. Zhang Shouli instead instructed Guo Zhuang to frame Xu Jing for colluding with the bandits, and was arrested and put in prison to be sentenced to death.
It was also thanks to Wen Huanzhang's insistence on fighting that the sentence was changed to exile, and Xu Jing was saved in prison, and was entrusted by Xu Jing to send a letter to Xu Jing's friend Li Congji, and then sure enough, Xu Jing was assassinated by the escort on the way to the distribution, but fortunately Li Congji arrived in time to save him.
After the disaster, Xu Jing and Li Congji returned to Zezhou to kill Zhizhou Zhang Shouli and Guo Zhuangzhu's family, fell into the grass together, and then accepted Zhao'an together, and established meritorious service in the battle of Hongdecheng with the West Thief, and achieved the position of Jiedu envoy with a knife and a gun.
Therefore, Wen Huanzhang is actually Xu Jing's life-saving benefactor, if he hadn't heard Huanzhang, Xu Jing would have died three times, Lin Chong mentioned Wen Huanzhang, Xu Jing naturally had to bow respectfully and answer politely.
