However, since he had been forced into a corner by Cao Bao, Yang Huaiwen had no choice but to say the method he was thinking about, and said: "We can use He Ruobi's plan to attack Nanchen, and spend two to three days to harass the Xinghua defenders in the four cities with great fanfare day and night. If you stay up until the early morning of the third or fourth day and send troops to attack the city, you will definitely be able to go down with a drum. ”

"This ......" When the other generals heard this, they all calmed down, carefully thinking about the feasibility of Yang Huaiwen's plan in their hearts.

But Cao Bao didn't think so, and he said sarcastically: "Cut, I thought you could come up with a clever plan?" Isn't it a waste of time, besides, our soldiers need to rest? ”

"Brother Yang's plan is feasible!" Pan Xiong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in favor.

They didn't have Cai Dao's immortal method of summoning divine thunder to split the city gates and city walls, and the Song army that could really be used was insufficient, and it couldn't be wasted in siege warfare, so endless harassment was the best policy.

After Cao Bao taunted, Pan Xiong figured out that of course the soldiers of the Song army had to rest, they were the main force of the siege force. But who said that when harassing the defenders of Xinghua City, the Song army must be used.

Before leaving Thang Long City, the Western Route Army was still accompanied by the 20,000 forbidden troops of the Great Yue Kingdom? The siege battle in the past seven days has indeed consumed part of the cannon fodder of the Vietnamese army, and there are probably 10,000 Vietnamese troops left to use now. As long as these numbers are not used to siege the city, but only to harass the defenders of Xinghua City, they are still sufficient.

The question now is whether to choose the early morning of three days or the early morning of four days after the endless harassment to officially attack Xinghua City.

The other generals present were actually thinking about the same problem, and they were now immune to Cao Bao's idiot's words.

"Just use the Vietnamese army to harass you, if you are worried that the remaining Vietnamese army is not enough, I can command a cavalry to transfer another 10,000 troops from Thang Long City!" As soon as Yang Huaiwen heard that someone supported his idea, his spirit was shocked, so he suggested.

"No need!" Zhi Keda shook his head, arched his hand to Yang Huaiwen, and said, "Brother Yang's plan is very good, I will use this strategy for this siege." The reason why I said that there is no need to go to Thang Long City to transfer troops. It's because you have all ignored that in the past seven days, we have been attacking the city non-stop, which has made the defenders of Xinghua City very tired. Therefore, the Vietnamese army was used to disturb the city at night, and the cavalry of 1,000 men supervised them from behind. Two days later, in the early morning of the third day, I will just wait for the attack on time. ”

The plan has been decided, and the congregation will begin to assign tasks.

For the sake of fairness, and also to confuse the defending generals of Xinghua City.

After discussion, several young generals made an extremely bold decision, that is, to divide the existing Song army troops equally, Zhe Keda, Pan Xiong, and the Liu brothers led a part of the Song army soldiers, and then, these four people drew lots to decide the direction of the four to attack the city.

Since it was Yang Huaiwen who came up with the idea, no matter who attacked the city wall first, this skill was still Yang Huaiwen's. Therefore, the disturbance of the city was entrusted to him. Of course, they also considered that Yang Huaiwen was a civilian official and could not take the lead at all, so they gave him this task that consumed energy but did not need to take risks.

Cai Dao didn't have too many siege equipment for them, and after the previous seven days of siege, most of them had been damaged by the defensive tools of the defenders of Xinghua City. Therefore, this battle had to be completed in two days. Attacking from all sides at the same time, although it dispersed the forces of the Song army, it would also make the defenders of Xinghua City lose sight of one or the other.

The generals in the city must not have known the Song army's intentions, and either like the Song army, they will divide their forces equally to defend the four cities, or they can only rely on guessing to see if he can guess the main direction of the Song army's attack on the city.

However, this time, the Song army chose an extremely bold strategy of attacking the four cities at the same time, and no matter what the Xinghua City Lord planned to do, the result was bound to be defeated.

Moreover, with those 1,000 cavalry on the side and the navy on the Red River, there is no need to worry that there will be reinforcements from the Great Yue Kingdom to rescue Xinghua City at this time.

In the next two days, the defenders of Xinghua City suffered a lot, and the enemies under the city were all crazy, and they clamoured under the city all night without sleep.

The general defending the city really didn't think about the plan to disturb the enemy, but if he ignored it, Yang Huaiwenzhen let these soldiers test it in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, and actually attacked the city wall at once.

Fortunately, the city wall on this side happened to be patrolled by the general who defended the city in person, and he immediately led his guards to repel this sneak attack of the Song army.

……

Early in the morning of the third day, the Song soldiers had already eaten their dry food, and when the defenders of Xinghua City were buried in the pot to cook, they immediately began to attack the city.

What a drum!

The soldiers defending the city faced the wolf-like Song army, and they didn't even bother to lift it up from the ground, directly threw away the weapons in their hands, and still didn't care about cooking, waiting for the morning meal.

Sure enough, the next day, Cai Dao came to Xinghua City by boat, and he was naturally very happy after seeing that the dragon flag of the Great Song Dynasty was already flying at the head of the city.

In the next three months, Cai Dao herded the sheep, and he took Yang Jizhong and Yang Huaiwen father and son to deal with the rest of the affairs in Thang Long City.

The other generals each led their armies to capture all the cities south of the Red River and the Great Viet Kingdom.

Although the scattered forces of the Southern Expedition were all taken, as the generals grew up and the soldiers gradually adapted to the battlefield, the Song army became more and more handy in the next siege battles.

In just two months, the Song army was overwhelmed and completely captured the cities of Dayue south of the Red River.

To the north of the Red River, if it is relatively far from the Red River, it will be handed over to Chongpu to deal with. Cai Dao only gave him 800 cavalry and 20,000 troops from the Great Yue Kingdom, but he still completed the task very well.

However, the army marching south met with very unpleasant things.

In the Battle of Xining and Songyue, when Guo Kui led 300,000 forbidden troops to conquer the Great Yue Kingdom, the Song Dynasty also contacted the Cham State and Zhenla to jointly raise troops to attack the Great Yue Kingdom.

This time, Cai Dao was very confident in the southern expedition led by himself, so he vetoed Zhang Tun's proposal to contact the two countries to jointly attack the Great Viet State again.

On the one hand, Cai Dao felt that it was not necessary,

On the other hand, it is because Cai Dao does not want to expose his offensive plan.

At no time can you expect your so-called allies to keep your secrets, as once the attack plan is revealed to the Cham and Chenla, it is very likely that the Da Viet Kingdom will learn of Cai Dao's plan for the southern expedition in advance.

Then, Cai Dao's southern expedition lost its suddenness. Moreover, it is very likely that you will fall into the trap laid by the Great Viet Kingdom.
