Recommended Reading: For a long time, Lin Feng has cherished the dream of a great country and a strong country, hoping that one day, he will be able to control a million strings, ten thousand warships, advance by land and water, and seize the south!

This is his ultimate dream, for several years, continue to work hard for this dream, struggle, at present, control million, still achievable, only 10,000 warships, still need to fight for it.

Therefore, no matter whether he squeezed Lin Shuying's 500 warships or secretly kidnapped Han Xiandang, no matter how despicable the means were, he had no scruples.

Here, Lin Feng was trying to arm the forces of the Yan Kingdom, and Song Qi and the others, who had retreated to Yueyang City, were in a bad mood.

As late autumn turns into early winter, the weather becomes cold, and only a first snow is required. Song Qi and the others are now afraid of heavy snowfall!

Before, it was flooded by Ju Wentai, and the whole army suffered a lot of losses, and after more than ten days, it was hard to catch its breath and prepare for the whole army to march east to take revenge and attack Shiyan City again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I got the news that Wu Yuecai's army had entered Shiyan City one after another.

For a while, Song Qi, Meng Kuo, Yuan Muchun and others were all blindfolded, and Wu Yuecai's army appeared at an inopportune time.

Zheng Jun was originally a very strong force, and there was the support of Wu Yue Cai's troops, especially Wu Yue and Song Guo had a suspicion, this battle was fought, whether the Song army was capable of fighting one against four, Song Qi was not sure, and Meng Kuo did not have much confidence.

Song Qi is very crazy and arrogant, but he is also afraid of death!

Hearing that Wu Yuecai's army had entered Shiyan City, he was furious and aggrieved, gritting his teeth, his face was hideous, like a leopard in pain, and said to Meng Kuo: "General Meng, what should I do next, seeing that it is about to enter winter, if you don't take Shiyan City, the situation will be very bad, and the war will definitely drag on until next year, which is very unfavorable to the Song State and the Song army, do you have any way?" ”

Meng Kuo was angry, but his thoughts were very calm, and he knew very well that he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy anymore.

At present, Wu Yuecai forcibly supports Zheng Guo for whatever reason, regardless of the covenant and the existence of the Yan army, but he will not hesitate to break the situation of equal strength between Song and Zheng, and even the few advantages of the Song army will disappear in an instant.

Next, either withdraw the army, or switch to attack and defensive, for the Song army, it is a very good choice, at least to keep the Song army's vitality, and wait for the spring of the next year to fight again.

However, it went against Song Jun's plan!

More importantly, before, the empress said that if she did not seize the Central Plains, she would never return to the dynasty, and she obviously gave a death order.

Especially after learning that Duguyuan was assassinated, Meng Kuo probably guessed why the empress gave the death order, as the empress's confidant, he absolutely allowed anyone to threaten the empress's life, so the empress's order must be fulfilled.

Therefore, no matter how bad the current situation of the Song army is, no matter how many troops Wu Yuecai invests, the Song army not only cannot retreat, on the contrary, it must show courage and confidence, go all out to fight, and strive to go against the current in danger, looking for opportunities to capture Shiyan City.

What's more, Meng Kuo has his own ideas!

On the surface, Wu Yuecai's army arrived at Shiyan City, making Shiyan City an iron pass, but Wu Yuecai's army coordinated with each other and with Zheng Guo, and in a short period of time, it may not be possible to achieve government decrees.

In addition, Wu Yuecai's army is all infantry, even if it is very strong, but under the attack of the Song army's mechanical troops, unless the city is refused to defend, otherwise, it will definitely not defeat the Song army, on the contrary, it will be killed by the Song army.

More importantly, the small Shiyan City, crowded with hundreds of thousands of troops, will inevitably form a situation of shoulder to shoulder, as long as there is an opportunity to block the opponent's gates on all sides, hundreds of thousands of troops, and millions of people, trapped in Shiyan City, daily consumption will gradually become an important burden of Shiyan City, as long as it is properly deployed, it may not be impossible to turn defense into attack.

Win by luck!

Meng Kuo is a perfect commander who is not arrogant in victory and inappropriate in defeat, otherwise, how could he stand out in the Song army at a young age, command hundreds of thousands of troops, and become the empress's confidant general.

After thinking about it, Meng Kuo cleared his throat and said in a firm tone: "Although the coalition army is strong, it is not without weaknesses, let alone without a chance to defeat the other party, Lord Wang, since the troops of the four countries are crowded in Shiyan City, why don't you want to find ways to make Shiyan City become a lonely city, lose the source of food and grass, hundreds of thousands of troops, the cold winter is coming, there is no food, Wu Yue, Cai and Zheng The troops of the four countries, can they survive the winter?" ”

When Song Qi heard this, he cheered up a little, and in Meng Kuo's words, things didn't seem to be in a desperate situation, and there was still a chance to turn the tide of the battle.

Instantly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked Meng Kuo: "General Meng, you mean, if the other party survives the winter, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”

In this war, Song Qi hoped to have the opportunity to fight a quick victory, all the way to the east, capture Taiyan City, and the troops came to the city of Luoyi, and directly drove straight in, and the army entered the city, unceremoniously pulling Li Zhao off the throne.

All his plans are to end before the end of the year, and he doesn't have to worry too much time!

"Lord Wang, I think, there is no need to besiege Shiyan City, directly lead the troops to attack Taiyan City, where the defense is empty, if we suddenly kill, we will definitely succeed in capturing the city, more importantly, if Wu Yuecai's army learns that Taiyan City is lost, the back road is blocked, considering the problem of ordnance and food, most of them will go out of the city to rescue, we will plan and set up ambushes along the way to hit the other side. After that, the army of the four countries retreated to Ishiwa Castle and tried to eliminate each other by all means. This is Yuan Muchun's suggestion, and it sounds extremely feasible.

The method is very simple, the sound of the east and the west, the encirclement of the reinforcement, if successfully implemented, will definitely cause unexpected effects.

Meng Kuo nodded, he was simply impressed by Yuan Muchun, and said excitedly: "General Yuan is right, I think it can be implemented according to General Yuan's ideas, and the troops of Wu Yue, Cai and Zheng will be forced to a desperate situation. ”

It is certain that there is a plan to capture the city, and it sounds like it will take Shiyan City, and Taiyan City will not need to spend much effort.

At this time, Song Qi's tone suddenly became aggressive, aggressive, and arrogant: "Since there is a way to break the enemy, don't hesitate, we should quickly deploy, directly under the city, take Taiyan City, and take revenge!" ”

Seeing that Song Qi's expression changed dramatically in a short period of time, Meng Kuo pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy about the great changes in Song Qi's attitude before and after.

If it weren't for the continuous slaughter of the city in front of him, the Zheng army and the people would have resisted, but they would not have poured the strength of the whole city to stop it, making it difficult for the Song army!

Staring at Song Qi, he couldn't help but kindly remind, and said: "Lord Wang, Taiyan City is behind Shiyan City, storing a large number of ordnance and food of the coalition army, which is their lifeblood, although most of the coalition army is concentrated in Shiyan City, but the defense of Taiyan City will definitely not be too lax, so we must not take it lightly, on the contrary, we must have a perfect deployment, absolutely not do what we want, if you want to capture Taiyan City, you must be surprised, unprepared, and seize the city with lightning speed, otherwise, the troops of the four countries will be on guard, I am afraid that I will be caught up in a long and protracted war.

So my suggestion is to launch a feint attack on Shiyan City first, attract the attention of the other party, and take advantage of the fact that the other party is guarding against the Song army and ignoring Taiyan City, send elite troops, lurk in secret, and quickly capture the city. ”

Meng Kuo's words completely refined Yuan Muchun's proposal, making the plan to seize the city more and more feasible, and the chances of success increased several times in vain!

"General Meng, rest assured, as long as the Mechanized Legion makes a feint, General Zhan and I will lead the army to take advantage of the chaos to capture Taiyan City." Yuan Muchun said confidently, before in Bishan, the Yan cavalry could not find the southeast and northwest, and the losses were very serious, since it was difficult for the simple infantry to deal with the Yan army, he didn't want to, and he couldn't deal with the coalition army, so he hoped to make meritorious contributions, make up for the merits, and explain to the empress on the day of returning to the dynasty.

"Okay, no need to negotiate anymore, that's it?" Hearing this, Song Qi directly ignored Meng Kuo's existence, and said domineeringly without hesitation.

However, Meng Kuo suddenly asked: "Lord Wang, do you know how many defenders there are in Taiyan City, how they are deployed, and what kind of suffering will General Yuan face when he leads his troops to attack?" ”

Meng Kuo asked several questions in a row, which made Song Qi, who was full of confidence and murderous spirit, suddenly stunned, stared at Meng Kuo, and said in an unhappy tone: "General Meng, before the battle, this king will send someone to find out these small problems, rest assured, there will never be problems." ”

He knew that Meng Kuo was loyal to Lin Shuying and looked down on many of his practices, and during the march, the two often had friction and conflicts, but in order to seize Zhengdi, as long as it was not a matter of principle, he would not completely tear his face with Meng Kuo.

After all, the same dynasty is a general, and they all strive for the interests of the Song State, if they are not compatible, it will hinder the interests of the Song State, but this does not mean that he has no complaints about Song Qi.

Hearing Song Qi's words, Meng Kuo did not continue to entangle, but warned Song Qi that when he encountered danger, he would wear his grandson and the danger would be lifted, but he would act like an uncle, which would be very annoying.

Determined the method of attacking the city, Meng Kuo and others refined it many times, and basically considered the problems encountered and the accidents that may occur.

The next day, more than ten days after the truce, the Song army began to launch a feint attack on Shiyan City according to the plan, and Yuan Muchun and Zhan Zhiyao led 30,000 crossbow battalion troops and quickly headed towards Taiyan City.
