Chapter 116: Lost Confidence, Don't Be Captured
PS: Thank you for the tip!
When these villagers saw this, they were naturally very grateful, and some of the young men in the team of welcoming and sending off relatives also patted their chests and said loudly, they have been bullied for so many years, and now someone suddenly comes to stand up for them.
Even if they want them to pick up swords and guns and go to them together, they can only do what Liang Shanjun can say, and he can really set foot in Zengtou City within five days.
So, in the afternoon and evening of the same day, an astonishing piece of news spread within a radius of forty or fifty miles from Zengtou City.
And the two hundred cavalry of Du Bao's department and the follow-up three hundred cavalry of Li Tianyan were also before dusk, and the wind and lightning generally called Zengtou City ten miles to sweep the entire area.
Moreover, the Liangshan army was wearing the robes of the Song army, and it was the banner of the Song army, so all the herdsmen and cavalry of Zengtou City, who were completely defenseless on the periphery, were immediately killed, and were completely stunned, with heavy casualties.
And at this time, the five tigers of the Zeng family and Zeng Rong, who had been laughing at Liang Shanjun before, and Zeng Rong, who had been cowardly in the goods, finally reacted - Liang Shanjun had already been killed!
They never thought that Liang Shanjun would come as soon as he said it, and he would really kill it suddenly!
How dare they?
Not only that, but this Liangshan army even cut off the hands of many knights in Zengtou City, cut off their noses and ears, and let them bring back the words - early tomorrow morning, in front of Zengtou City, the two armies will have a decisive battle!
"it! The Song people are cunning, on the one hand, they send people to paralyze us, and on the other hand, they secretly kill us, despicable, shameless! ”
"I'm going to kill them, and tomorrow I'm going to kill them all!"
"it! Kill him, so that they know that they dare to be the enemy of my Zengtou City......"
The five brothers shouted and shouted to kill one by one, Shi Wengong and Su Ding listened, but they frowned and bowed their heads and were silent.
Zeng Lane was a person with a city government, and when he saw the two of them like this, he asked, "Why does Teacher Shi frown and not speak?" ”
Shi Wengong said: "Sir Zeng, I think it is not appropriate to fight tomorrow.
Commander Zeng, please think about it, Zhang Dujian has already returned to the army to fight with the Liangshan army, if it is not for the defeat of Zhang Dujian's soldiers and horses, how dare the Liangshan army come all the way to Zengtou City?
Zhang Dujian has ten battalions of soldiers and horses, and the strength of the Liangshan army can be imagined!
Moreover, while the Liang Shan army kept sending people to us to write war letters, and on the other hand, they suddenly killed us unconsciously, so we can see that all this is in their calculations;
And they suddenly killed, our scouts didn't even notice it at all, and every time they came back to report, it was conceivable that they were killed, and it's terrible to think about!
Now we don't know anything about the intelligence of the Liangshan Army, but the Liangshan of our intelligence has been almost clearly touched by the Liangshan Army.
I think we should be conservative, we are fighting at home, we should first guard the camp, find out the enemy's intelligence and then go to war, if you rush to fight tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be in the arms of the Liangshan army! ”
But as soon as Shi Wengong's voice fell, the five tigers of the Zeng family immediately shouted, and Zeng Tu said: "Master, why are you so ambitious? This gang of Liangshan thieves has come to our door, if they don't dare to fight, they think we are afraid of them! ”
The second Zeng Mi was the most reckless, and shouted: "it!" Everyone has hit the doorstep, and we don't dare to fight, isn't this a shrunken turtle? I can't afford to lose this man! ”
The fourth Zeng Kui also said: "Master, you overestimate this group of Liangshan thieves, how weak the army of the Song people is, don't you know, Master?"
But we are Jurchen cavalry, 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses defeated the 700,000 Liao Dog army in the Battle of Dagang, and the Liao Dog army is far better than the weak Song army, otherwise how could the Liao State have bullied the weak Song for more than a hundred years and can't raise its head?
So what is so strange about this gang of Liangshan thieves who defeated Zhujiazhuang and defeated the ten battalions of soldiers and horses of Zhang Dujian? But as soon as they encounter our Jurchen cavalry, they will only lose their armor and lose money! ”
The fifth Zeng Sheng also shouted excitedly: "Okay, let them know how powerful we are, capture that leopard head forest leopard alive, my Zeng family gave birth to five tigers, and the world is famous!" ”
Shi Wengong sighed again, in the past, these apprentices respected themselves, although they didn't obey their words, they would consider their own opinions in everything.
However, since it was reported from Bianliang, Tokyo last year that 20,000 Jurchen barbarians in the northern border of the Liao State had broken the 700,000 army of the Liao State and captured more than 200,000 prisoners, these five apprentices were almost about to fly, showing a kind of self-confidence everywhere.
In fact, in Shi Wengong's mind, the fact that 20,000 Jurchen barbarians can break the 700,000 army of the Liao State does not mean that 20,000 mature women can also do the same.
In Shi Wengong's opinion, in fact, these mature women in Zengtou City are not much different from the Khitan people and Xi people in Liao State.
Although he is not very clear about the history of the Jurchens and the Liao State, Shi Wengong understands that the same Han people, the combat effectiveness of different periods and different regions is completely different.
For example, the Western Army and the forbidden army in the eastern and Hebei regions of the Great Song Dynasty are also Han Chinese, and their combat effectiveness is very different;
Another example is the Dumen Forbidden Army, which is also Bianliang, in the early Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period, it was the strongest army in the world, but now it is a group of wine bags and rice bags.
But these five apprentices of their own, because they heard that the 20,000 Jurchens had defeated the 700,000 Liao army, they thought that their soldiers and horses also had the same combat effectiveness, and they simply didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick!
Compared with the five tigers of the Zeng family, who were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, Zeng Lane still maintained basic rationality, but combined with the opinions of his five sons and two teachers, his opinion was that he must send troops tomorrow.
What is the strength of the Liangshan Army, you have to try it to know!
At that moment, he waved his hand, and the five tigers of the Zeng family immediately stopped talking, turned their heads to look at their father, and heard Zeng Lane say: "What Teacher Shi said is not bad, Liang Shanjun is not good, we must be cautious, and we must not underestimate the enemy in the slightest!"
However, the Liangshan army has reached the doorstep, and it has killed so many of our people, stolen so many horses, and even more excessively, it has cut off our people's hands, noses and ears, this is Chiguoguo's provocation, if we dare not fight, will the morale be gone?
However, Teacher Shi's words are also correct, the strength of the Liangshan Army should not be underestimated, and we must be fully prepared. Therefore, I mean, tomorrow I will lead 800 troops to battle, try the Liangshan army's catties and make plans, and at the same time repair a letter to Lingzhou for help. ”
At the same time, in the camp of the Liangshan army, Lin Chong once again exercised his miracle, conjured a hundred chariots at once, besieged a strict chariot array, spears like a forest, and then combined with small catapults and small eight-ox crossbows, strong bows and hard crossbows, and special cavalry.
After completing these, Lin Chong also convened a pre-war meeting of all the officers above the rank of the whole army, and after listening to Yun Zhi and Shi Qian's introduction to the atrocities in Zengtou City, Lin Chong stood up, his eyes were full of cold light: "Everyone, listen up, this battle is different from our past, in the past, whether it was Zhujiazhuang or the Yunzhou Forbidden Army, they were all Song people, and they were their own people, so there was no need to kill them all, and if they could be captured, they should try not to kill them."
This time, however, our opponents are the Jurchen Tartars who have wolf ambitions, the Jurchen Tartars who will take revenge, and the Han scum who have taken refuge in the Jurchen Tartars and fought for the tiger, so there is no need for us to stay any longer.
So, in this battle, we don't want to take prisoners! ”
