Chapter 379: The Western Army
Chapter 179: The First Siege of the Western Army (Free)
------------
In the end, Lin Chong agreed with Yue Fei's idea and asked Yue Fei to lead his troops out of the city that night. \\\\
At this moment, the southern city of Mén had been opened, and Yue Fei gathered his 1,000 soldiers and horses, came out of the city, and came to the outside of Jinning City.
"Big brother, where are we going now?" Yue Fei's sworn brother, Zhang Xian asked.
"Let's find a place to hide, look for fighters." Yue Fei said.
At the moment, they went all the way in the direction of Puzhou City, and Yue Fei left countless sentry posts along the way, investigating the surrounding situation at any time, waiting for the arrival of fighters.
In the early morning of the next day, before the sun rose, Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi of the Western Army rushed towards Jinning City with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and at noon, they finally saw Jinning City in front.
Jinning City is a big city in the east of the river, the city wall is much higher than the ordinary county town, in addition to the city wall, there is a natural moat formed by the Fen River in the west. If there were no large ships, there were only three directions that could be attacked.
Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi looked at the scene on Jinning City and found that there were many figures standing on it, and both of them couldn't help but be taken aback.
"It seems that there are a lot of thieves in Liangshan?" Yang Keshi frowned.
"It shouldn't be! They have only occupied Hedong for two years, and at best there are only 350,000 soldiers and horses, how can there be so many? Liu Guangshi said in a skeptical tone.
"I think they organized all the people in the city, put on armor, and pretended to be an army, trying to scare our western army and let our western army retreat without a fight!" Yang Keshi analyzed.
"It must be like this!" For Yang Keshi's analysis, Liu Guangshi agrees very much.
The two of them have a deep-rooted view of the "grass bandits" in their hearts, before they came to Hedong, they looked down on the Liangshan bandits in Hedong, and now they see so many soldiers and horses, they are not analyzing how to deal with these soldiers and horses, but guessing that these soldiers and horses may be pretended by local people. After the two came to this conclusion, they despised Liangshan thieves even more and ignored them even more.
"Tell the soldiers, cut down the trees, and attack the city immediately!" Yang Keshi gave the order loudly.
They didn't have siege weapons with them, so they were going to cut down the trees, knock them open, and then rush in and kill them.
On the city wall, Lin Chong also looked at the scene below, and the Liangshan soldiers around him were very worried. These soldiers were new recruits, had never been on the battlefield, and were eager and afraid of war.
At this time, a soldier came to Lin Chong and said, "Commander, it has been checked out, there are no other men and horses around, just 10,000 infantry." ”
Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, and then stayed there, he, like Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi, was also unbelievable, just 10,000 people were about to attack the city? What is the rationale for this? Even if the Western Army is strong, it is not so strong, right?
"Order the soldiers, go out from West Mén and fight the enemy Jiāo!" Lin Chong gave the order decisively.
Because Liangshan was all recruits and there were not many generals, Lin Chong and Zhu Wu formulated a battle plan for comprehensive defense. But now in the face of only 10,000 enemies, if you defend it comprehensively, it will be a sign of weakness, and the morale of the defenders of Jinning City will be greatly reduced.
At this moment, the West Mén was opened, and the Yangsan soldiers came out of the West Mén in large ships, and then went into the distance, preparing to land from a distance, and then block the ten thousand enemies on land.
******
At this time, Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi had already begun to attack the city, and countless soldiers held huge logs and slammed into the city, and suddenly the city trembled, and countless sassholes and boulders began to fall on the city wall.
"Ahh One of the court soldiers let out a terrible cry and fell to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers also fell backwards, not daring to go any further.
"Liangshan thieves are so well prepared?" Yang Keshi frowned and said, he thought that this city wall was vulnerable and could be captured in one battle, but who knew that so many sassal trees and boulders had fallen on it, and his soldiers retreated immediately.
"Tell the soldiers, charge me forward! Raze the walls for me with a shovel! Make a ladder and climb it up for me! Liu Guangshi cursed loudly.
The next 10,000 soldiers continued to cut down trees and make ladders, and after half an hour, hundreds of simple ladders were made, and the generals of the Western Army used these simple ladders to climb to them.
It's a pity that the balance of forces between the two sides is too great, the number of Liangshan soldiers on the city wall is several times that of the below, and the prepared wood and boulders are enough to destroy more than 100,000 enemies.
This mere 10,000 generals of the Western Army were repulsed in a moment!
"How is that possible? It seems that the thieves above are not dressed up by the people, but the real Liangshan thieves? Yang Keshi couldn't believe it.
"General Yang, it seems that we can't conquer this Jinning City, it's better to retreat first, go back and tell Lord Chong, and let Lord Chong lead the army to come." Liu Guangshi said.
"I'm really unwilling!" Yang Keshi gritted his teeth and said.
He originally thought that he would be able to make a great contribution this time, relying on his 10,000 people would be enough to sweep the entire Hedong and subdue all the Liangshan bandits, who knew that the number of Liangshan bandits was so large, the first city blocked him, and it was impossible to get in. For a while, it was anger and disappointment.
"Wait a little longer! These are all thieves, their defenses can't be so strict, and when we continue to attack the city at night, we will definitely be able to break it! Yang Keshi said.
"It's good! It's just that we don't have enough food and grass! Liu Guangshi reminded.
"Damn it!" Yang Keshi cursed fiercely.
At this time, a soldier suddenly ran over and said, "Two generals, the big thing is not good, we found that many big boats appeared on the Fen River, and there were many Liangshan bandits standing on them. ”
"Oh? Where did they go? Yang Keshi hurriedly asked.
"Looks like it's heading towards our rear." The soldier said.
Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi both frowned secretly, not knowing what kind of trick Liangshan thief Kou was.
Before they could figure out how to deal with it, another soldier suddenly rushed over and said, "Two generals, their big ship has landed, and a lot of soldiers have come down from the ship!" ”
After hearing this, Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi had "surprise" expressions on their faces, and Yang Keshi laughed and said, "What you said is true? The Liangshan Bandits landed from the south? ”
The little soldier hurriedly said: "Yes! There are a lot of them, at least 30,000 people. ”
Yang Keshi laughed and said, "Just 30,000 thieves, it's nothing in front of my Western Army!" Such thieves, we can kill 100,000 of them with 10,000 people! Come on, follow me to the south! ”
Liu Guangshi was also ecstatic at the moment, if the Liangshan thieves were hiding in the city, they really didn't have any good way, but the Liangshan thieves ran out by themselves, it would be simple, just destroy them.
In the eyes of Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi, there are only 30,000 thieves, and they are afraid that they can all be dispersed with a slight rush, and then they can all be killed!
"Haha, it's today! These fools dare to come out and fight us in the field, it's really fatal! Yang Keshi rode on the horse and kept laughing.
"yes, I didn't expect the thieves to be so stupid!" Liu Guangshi also kept laughing.
The two of them, one is the "10,000 enemies" in the Western Army, and the other is the son-in-law of the No. 2 person in the Western Army. Until this moment, they all thought that this was the merit of sending mén, and never thought of treating the Yangsan army carefully.
******
Lin Chong led 30,000 soldiers to upload one after another, and the current 30,000 soldiers were divided into three routes: left, center, and right, he personally led the soldiers and horses in the middle, and the remaining two roads were led by the rest of the generals.
All of them were new troops, and even the generals were selected from among the recruits, and everyone was worried. The soldiers grabbed the spears in their hands, and their palms were sweaty. Some of the soldiers were trembling, obviously very frightened.
"Soldiers, we have 30,000 men, and the enemy has only 10,000! With the strength of my Liangshan, this battle will be won! Lin Chong kept cheering up the people around him.
"We train every day, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, it is training, our training intensity is much higher than that of the enemy, so our combat power is also much higher than theirs!"
"The Grand Governor led the army to defeat strong enemies in Goryeo many times, and we can't disgrace the Grand Governor!"
"Give me a boost, just poke the spear into the enemy's stomach when the time comes, and leave the rest alone!"
"You can't go back, keep moving forward!"
Not only Lin Chong was cheering up the people beside him, but the battalion commanders of each battalion, the company commanders of each company, as well as the platoon commanders and team commanders were constantly cheering up the soldiers beside him.
Originally, everyone was a new army, and their hearts were very terrified, but under such continuous encouragement, they gradually regained their courage and were no longer as scared as before.
"After the victory of this war, I must take leave to go back and make a kite for Xiaofang. You don't know how many kites I make, and you can go up to the sky with a few light runs. A soldier trembled as he said to his comrade beside him.
He looks like he's almost thirty years old, in this era, men get married early, and the Xiaofang he talks about is his nv son. He hadn't seen his NV in two years since he joined the army.
"Well, when the war is won, I will also go back to see my wife, and this October will be her old man's 80th birthday." The comrade-in-arms next to him said.
"When the time comes, our whole camp will go to celebrate your mother's birthday, what do you think?" The battalion commander heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile.
"Thank you, battalion commander!" The soldier smiled.
"All take your weapons and prepare to rush forward, the enemy is coming!" The battalion commander looked ahead and said suddenly.
