Sun Ziyun: The method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle it, five is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under the city of Changqing, Song Jiang did not have so many troops, and it was impossible to surround it, but in his eyes, the officers and soldiers were not worth mentioning at all, and it was still okay to attack the city with all his might, anyway, what he wanted was the city, and he would not mind the people in the city fleeing.

Therefore, with an order, his subordinates quickly prepared improvised equipment for the siege of the city, intending to storm the city in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the intention of replenishing the needs and mobilizing the officers and soldiers.

This is a kind of self-confidence and a kind of contempt for officers and soldiers.

The army of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers has just been driven into the city, which means that the officers and soldiers have lost their courage, even if there are officers and soldiers in the city, it is impossible to be too many and too strong, therefore, Song Jiang considered that it is better to capture the city as soon as possible, so as to win more respite for the rebel army.

Don't look at the opportunity now, the follow-up situation is more complicated, one is not small, it is possible to suffer a heavy blow, Song Jiang is not willing to lose too much between tossing and turning, then his strategic shift will lose its meaning.

Occupy the city as soon as possible, you can better replenish it, and at the same time, you can be strategically able to do it with ease, and the purpose of Song Jiang's siege is here.

The county seat of Changqing is not big, the radius is only four or five miles, and the city wall is not high, less than two zhang, but even so, with a rebel army of more than 1,000 people, it is impossible to attack from all sides, and if you want to break through the defense as soon as possible, the most effective way is to attack one point.

The west gate was the attack point chosen by Song Jiang. There is a dense forest not far from here, which is very suitable for cutting down trees to make siege equipment, and at the same time, it is also convenient to be invisible when foreign aid comes.

More than a dozen long ladders were prepared, and the rebels charged bravely, and they wanted to take Changqing City in one go.

It's just that as soon as he attacked the city, Song Jiang knew that he had miscalculated. The city was obviously on guard, bows, crossbows, arrows, rolling stones and trees had already been prepared, and as soon as the rebels attacked the city, the city would be full of arrows, and when the siege began, the rolling stones and trees rained down again, so that the rebels suffered a big loss.

"Withdraw." Song Jiang decisively ordered the task of retreating.

Looking at the more than ten corpses of the rebels left behind, Song Jiang was extremely angry, this was the biggest loss he had suffered since the uprising, but it was in the small broken county town that he despised him.

"Careless." Song Jiang said to Wu Yong with annoyance.

"Big brother, maybe they only have precautions on this side, why don't I take someone to try it from other ways?" Wu Yong said with relief.

"No, you don't." Song Jiang immediately stopped Wu Yong, "They are even more prepared than we imagined." ”

Seeing that Wu Yong looked at himself in bewilderment, Song Jiang explained: "You see that they defended the city without panic, and the equipment is so well prepared, which is enough to show that they are confident." ”

"Could it be that Sun Chen fled here as a lure?" Wu Yong asked curiously.

The opponent's defense is so tight, if Sun Chen's escape was intentional, it would really be a terrible calculation.

Song Jiang said helplessly: "Whether he is intentional or unintentional, it is too late to say anything now, the top priority is to do two things well, first, immediately send someone to find out the news and thoroughly find out the whereabouts of all parties." Second, find supplies as soon as possible. ”

"And this city?" Wu Yong asked.

"Surround it first, wait for an opportunity to harass it, if you can attack it, you can attack it, and if you can't attack it, you can stare at it." Song Jiang arranged.

……

In Changqing City, Sun Chen sat in the middle of the yamen, and the magistrate sat on one side.

On both sides stood Wu Yang, Yang Zaixing, Mo Yu, Feng Xiaolazy, and six battalion commanders.

These are the most authoritative people in Changqing City, and they are also the core force to defend Changqing.

Sun Chen is the supreme commander here. There is no way, since it is certain that he will flee here, Gao Feng can only let him be the commander here.

To say that before the training camp in Changbai Mountain, Sun Chen was not very relieved as the commander, but now Gao Feng is not so worried. No matter how cowardly Sun Chen is, he doesn't dare to abandon the city and flee, he will defend the city no matter what, and this is also the bottom line of the peak.

Besides, Gao Feng also sent four young generals to keep an eye on it, Sun Chen must consider the existence of these four before making any decisions, otherwise, Gao Feng will also settle accounts with him after the war.

"Generals, we have successfully lured Song Jiang to Changqing City and defeated his first attack, you all tell me, what should we do next?" Sun Chen asked.

"We will do everything in our power to protect the city." All the words were expressed, but only one person did not make a sound, and that was Yang Zaixing.

Sun Chen was very satisfied with everyone's answers, he nodded to everyone, then turned to Yang Zaixing and asked, "General Yang, what is your opinion?" ”

No matter how young Yang Zaixing is, he is also Gao Feng's cronies, and Sun Chen can't despise him.

Yang Zaixing had no fear of Sun Chen, stepped forward, and said calmly: "I hope that Lord Wang's Lord will give me a soldier and horse, and I will fight out of the city and fight with them." ”

Sure enough, he was a young man who was fearless, and when others heard that Song Jiang was coming, it was too late to hide, so he took the initiative to meet him, and this pride was amazing.

However, Sun Chen didn't dare to satisfy his wish, and said: "General Yang's heroic courage is admirable, but now that Song Jiang is at the end of his life, let's brake quietly." ”

Gao Feng is here, naturally satisfied with Sun Chen's arrangement, he is afraid that Yang Zaixing and others will take risks, these people are his baby bumps, in case of an accident, he will really cry to death.

Refused, Yang Zaixing retreated stupidly, but Wu Yang stepped forward and said: "My lord, although Song Jiang is besieging Changqing now and not attacking, he will change his strategy at night, and he will definitely attack the city at that time, and we must be fully prepared." ”

"Why?" Sun Chen asked puzzled.

Wu Yang replied: "When the adults lured the enemy, Changqing County made preparations to defend against the enemy, and one of them was to move the surrounding people and property into the city. Song Jiang and his entourage had no supplies from the rear, so they fought and ate wherever they went. After nearly a day and a night of hard work, even if they had some surplus food, they should have used almost the same, and at this time he could only attack the county seat to get supplies. ”

Sun Chen understood it, and this method must have been instructed by Gao Feng. Although it greatly increased the pressure on Changqing County, it caused great passivity to Song Jiang.

They ran around, and the result was that they could not be replenished with food, and in the end they could only be captured.

This should be Gao Feng's strategy to consider the combat strength of Song Bing and be reluctant to make direct contact with Song Jiang.

Thinking about this, Sun Chen got up and said very arrogantly: "All the soldiers of the army, prepare immediately and swear to defend Changqing to the death." ”
