Chapter 245: Outside the Jingshi City (I)
Peng Chaodong's Qin army arrived near Jingshi City one after another. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But at this time, the city of Jingshi had been surrounded by more than 300,000 Liao troops.
Before Peng Chaodong arrived near Jingshi City, there were already sporadic Qin Wang troops who arrived near Jingshi City first.
However, when these Qinwang troops saw that the Jingshi City was surrounded by the Liao Legion, they all watched and stayed in place.
The several Qinwang armies that were close to each other were chased and beaten by the Liao army and retreated. There was a tacit understanding between the Liao army and the Qin Wang army at a distance.
After Peng Chaodong's Qin army arrived at Jingshi City, this awkward distance began to be broken.
As soon as I heard that the Qin army was coming. Qin Wangjun rejoiced. Just like a lost sheep has found its leader, Peng Chaodong is their leader.
"Governor Peng is here, we are moving closer to the Qin army and following the Qin army."
This is the idea of most of the Qin Wang Army, Peng Chaodong has two positions, one is the position of the local governor, and the other is the position of the central military secretary, because Peng Chaodong has served in the local area all the year round. Officials in various places still refer to Peng Chaodong as the governor.
With the appearance of Peng Chaodong and the arrival of the Qin army, the high-level of the Liao State also began to move, and Peng Chaodong's Qin army has always been regarded as the biggest enemy by Wanyan Shengcong. The strongest opponent, the Qin army, will be the primary target for Wanyan Shengcong to deal with before it is destroyed.
However, this time, the high-level of the Liao State did not want to meet Peng Chaodong's troops and fight to the death with Peng Chaodong's Qin army.
Peng Chaodong brought out 100,000 elites of the Qin army this time, and the number of the Liao army was three times that of Peng Chaodong. The two sides met in the wilderness, the Liao army was good at field warfare, and field warfare was the short board of the Qin army, so it stands to reason that this was a good opportunity for the Liao army to eliminate the Qin army.
However, the Liao army was not in a hurry to engage the Qin army. The high-level of the Liao State understands very well that although they have a great chance of victory in the decisive battle with the Qin army now, the 100,000 elite of the Qin army is not at will.
Even if the Liao army finally eliminated the Qin army, the Liao army's own casualties would not be small. The Liao army won and won a miserable victory.
A crushing victory was not what the Liao army wanted to see, and what the Liao army's top brass hoped was to eliminate the Qin army, a fierce enemy, once and for all, at the lowest cost.
"What kind of reputation is the Liao army doing?"
Peng Yuqian's behavior towards the Liao army was inexplicable.
In the past, when the Liao army encountered the Qin army in the wilderness, it was eager to set up a position and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, and it was entangled until the men and horses fighting with the Qin army were tired, and they couldn't stop until they couldn't fight.
And today, the elite of the 100,000 Qin army, the main force of the Qin army, are all in position, and they want to make a posture of fighting to the death with the Liao army. The Liao army was unmoved, what the hell is the Liao army doing? Peng Yuqian was puzzled.
Peng Chaodong was also very confused, after the Qin army set up a position, the Liao army camp did not move at all.
The news of the arrival of the Qin army in Jingshi City also reached Jingshi City.
The news of the arrival of the Qin army seemed to have given a boost to the soldiers and civilians in Jingshi City, and the declining morale of Jingshi City improved. The Qin army was the only army in the eyes of the Zhao people that had a chance to fight the Liao army.
After Song Yuren learned that the Qin army had arrived in Jingshi City, he couldn't help but shout out in a gaffe: "Peng Qing is here."
It can be seen that Peng Chaodong's position in Song Yuren's heart. Song Yuren has always regarded Peng Chaodong as a capable minister who can turn the tide and a pillar of the imperial court. Even if the Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs this time, causing disaster to the north and endangering the Jingshi City, Song Yuren still trusted Peng Chaodong.
Song Yuren even ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and wanted to climb the watchtower of Jingshi City to watch the Qin army.
The watchtower at the east gate of Jingshi City is built on the six-zhang high city wall. Coupled with the height of the watchtower itself, the top of the watchtower is now at least more than nine zhang high from the ground. Now this height is enough to see the dynamics of the city clearly.
Song Yuren stood on top of the watchtower surrounded by a group of guards. The watchtower was within the range that the Liao army could hit, and the guards were afraid that Song Yuren would be hurt by the Liao army.
Outside the watchtower, the snow is flying, and the snow is falling one after another. If you don't take into account the factor that the Liao army is encircling Jingshi City, now is also a good time to enjoy the snow scene.
The 100,000 Qin troops lined up on the flat outside the city, and the 100,000-strong military formation looked spectacular from the heights.
In addition, the Qin army's appearance is strictly organized, and the military formation of the Qin army is also more attractive.
On the white snowy field, the Qin army in bright red military robes looked dazzling against the white background.
"When will the Qin army enter the city?" Song Yuren asked left and right.
The Qin army's strict appearance gave Song Yuren confidence. Song Yuren now longs for the Qin army to enter Jingshi City immediately.
"Jingshi City is surrounded by Liao legions on all sides, and if the Qin army wants to enter Jingshi City, it must break the encirclement of the Qin army." Xiangcheng Bo Song Xian said. According to the regulations of the imperial court, one of the commanders in charge of the guards of the capital city must be a clan. This was also to ensure that the Jingshi City army was loyal to the Song Dynasty.
Because he experienced some wars in his early years, Xiangcheng Bo Song Xian was one of the few people in the clan who had experienced wars and had actual combat experience. Therefore, Song Xian sat in the position of the commander of the Beijing Division, and the commander of the military horses of the Beijing Division.
During the special period when the Liao army besieged the city of Beijing, Song Xian's commander of the capital division was even more powerful. It is basically equivalent to the wartime commander-in-chief of Jingshi Castle.
Hearing that the Qin army could not enter Jingshi City immediately, Peng Chaodong looked a little dissatisfied. frowned and said, "Didn't you go out to pick up Peng Qing?"
"The movements of the Liao army are unknown, and it is still not appropriate to act rashly." Xiang Chengbo's voice was much quieter.
The troops in the city were all frightened by the Liao army, whether it was the forbidden army of Jingshi City or the town army of King Qin who entered Jingshi City, it was barely able to defend the city. It was too difficult for them to let them go out of the city to meet the Liao army and meet the Qin army.
Xiangchengbo's words made Song Yuren's face darken, and Song Yuren did not speak with a gloomy face.
In front of the Qin army, a Liao army galloped and galloped until it was under the banner of the Qin army.
The Qin army guards who were guarding Peng Chaodong's side suddenly became alert. They all raised their weapons to protect Peng Chaodong's side, the arrows were wound, and the knives were unsheathed.
The Liao army was skilled in flying horsemanship, and only after showing off his horsemanship in front of the Qin army for a while did he hold on to the reins and stop.
Peng Chaodong motioned for the guards around him to put down the weapons in their hands. A flying horse will not cause harm to Peng Chaodong.
"The Liao army in front of you, what do you want to break into the position of our Qin army?" Zheng thunder was like a bell, and his voice was very loud.
"Messenger of the Great Liao Army!" After the Liao army dismounted, it was still as majestic as on the horse, and the arrogance was domineering, "The envoy of the Great Liao Army asks to see Peng Chaodong, the commander of the Qin army!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Zheng Lei and Zheng Ting, who were angered by the rude behavior of the Liao army, the Liao army flew up, and it was too unpopular to see anyone, so they didn't take the Qin army in their eyes, right?
Peng Chaodong waved his hand, this Liao army flying horse is just an order, in the final analysis, it is just an inconsequential role. There is no point in bothering with such a little person. (To be continued.) )
