The cavalry could not reach the top of the city before the enemy could close the gates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sweaty horses of the Great Song cavalry, carrying the riders through the enemy's crossbow arrows and artillery, retreated to the Chinese army.

Again did not kill Zhang Dingbian, the cavalry chief Yu Tonghe was very dissatisfied with the results of this sortie, and he was unwilling.

"Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, and let Zhang Dingbian escape, please punish Your Majesty!" Yu Tonghe clenched his fists and clenched his chest, still using the etiquette of the north to plead guilty to Hao Ren.

"Zhang Dingbian is extremely brave, and it is not the general's fault that he failed to kill him in front of the battle!" Hao Ren heard that Zhang Dingbian was brave, and he was suffering from no plan to break the enemy, but he comforted Yu Tonghe.

"Your Majesty also saw that today Zhang Dingbian went out to fight, and hit three crossbows, each crossbow hit the vital point, in the past few days, there are no one hundred and eighty crossbow arrows to shoot him, but there are twenty or thirty crossbows, but he can still act like no one, next time I am in battle, I will definitely cut off his head, see if he can still have a head again, continue to fight with me!" Yu Tonghe complained unwillingly.

"What about the damage this time?" Hao Ren asked with concern.

"Enemy casualties are two to one! Ay! Yu Tonghe sighed and said: "It's a pity that I broke the three sons of General Chang Yuchun, and I don't know how to explain to General Chang!" ”

When Hao Ren dispatched soldiers and horses from the south of the Yangtze River to stabilize the north, Yu Tonghe brought a hundred elites who were known as the little Chang Yuchun who had accumulated over the years, and then formed an army of their own, and Hu Dahai and Chang Yuchun were the three most elite cavalry of Hao Ren.

"General Yu should not be worried, how can there be immortals in war? I instruct Lord Liu Bowen to explain the situation to General Chang, and I will take care of it myself, you don't need to worry about it! Go back to rest and recuperate, and fight Zhang Dingbian again one day! Hao Ren said considerately.

"No!" Yu Tonghe received the order, lifted his skirt, and turned back to the camp.

"Your Majesty! Although the Creek soldiers have suffered heavy losses, they can fight again, please give your Majesty's order to let the Creek soldiers rush for another time to avenge the dead brothers! "The river soldiers and thousands of households Yang Hu were full of dust, and he clenched his fists and asked for his life.

Hao Ren let the stream soldiers charge three times in a row, not to take the soldiers and horses left by his father-in-law as a dissident, but the stream soldiers were born in the mountains, and they are good at climbing, and the offensive charge needs to quickly break through the enemy's fire line blockade, speed is particularly important, and the characteristics of the stream soldiers do not like armor greatly increase the speed of the charge, and it is indeed an elite force attacking the city.

"The general fought hard and worked hard!" Hao Ren affirmed Yang Hu's achievements and said: "The Xi soldiers are the elite of the Feishan barbarians left by the old cave master, and there will be a big battle to fight in the future, you should go back to the camp first to appease the brothers, and tomorrow I will let other generals take over the siege of the city." ”

"Hey!" Yang Hu sighed, knowing that there was no intention to say more, "No! He had no choice but to retreat with his fists clenched and return to the camp to reorganize his soldiers and horses.

"Boss!" The privy envoy Zhang Poyu came over with a loud voice, hugged his fists and said: "Jiangzhou City is surrounded by water, digging only a few feet, the river water will be poured into the tunnel, and the method of digging a tunnel to blow up the city wall will not work!" ”

"Your Majesty!" The deputy champion of the Xibing Wan Hufei reported: "Above the Xunyang River, there are underwater obstacles, there is no more than a month, I am afraid that I will not be able to completely understand the obstacles, our army and navy will not be able to pass in a short period of time and control the land on the river!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wu Liuqi of the Jiang Defense Army reported: "General Po Yu and I have searched all over Jiangzhou City, and the enemy has been prepared for the sewage pipeline in the city, and it is impossible to pass at all!" ”

"All the generals work hard, it's getting late today, and all the armies are back to the camp to rest!" After Hao Ren praised the generals, he did not forget to remind: "Keep your ears up at night to prevent Zhang Dingbian from stealing the camp at night!" ”

"No!" Several generals retreated with their fists hugged!

'Outwit the strong, capture alive when the weak!' This is the war maxim that Hao Ren believes in, but now in the face of the fortified city defended by Zhang Dingbian, Hao Ren can also do it for a while, and he can't help frowning.

The Great Song army defeated Chen Youliang's main army at Poyang Lake, temporarily solving Chen Youliang's threat to himself, and now the Great Song Dynasty is also racing against time, and must cut off his right-hand man before Richard Han pacifies Shandong, even if he can't completely defeat Chen Youliang, to prevent him from making a comeback.

"Your Majesty!" Shi Nai'an, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took a two-page document and reported: "General Wu Liujiu's Northern Route Army encountered the Han General Miao Mei in Yingshan, General Wu's troops were thin, and he could not break through the enemy's mountain defense line, interspersed behind the enemy's rear, and was afraid of encountering an enemy ambush, General Wu asked His Majesty to add troops and horses!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Bowen, the imperial historian, said: "Yuzhang Shou General 'splashed' Zhang Bixian and his bravery, often Yuchun and Deng Yuer's generals can't attack for a long time, and please also ask Your Majesty to add troops to fight again!" ”

The bad news came one after another, which made Hao Ren, who had been attacking Jiangzhou for a long time, feel a few more burdens on his heart.

"Tell General Wu Liujiu!" Hao Ren ordered: "There is a strong enemy Li Chahan in the north, and the existence of Miao Mei's army will contain Li Chahan to the south to a certain extent, and it can also disperse the forces of the Han in the south of the Yangtze River." Let General Wu not have to rush into the army, just to stabilize the position and attract Miao Mei in Jiangbei, don't be greedy for merit and rush forward, if necessary, you can return to Lu'an City and wait for the opportunity to move! ”

Hao Ren used troops against the Han this time, and he didn't want to eat Chen Youliang in one go, Hao Ren's main forces appeared in Jiangnan, and he wanted to eat Chen Youliang's forces in Jiangxi Province first, and depending on the situation, he was considering destroying Chen Youliang's forces in Huguang Province.

Wu Liujiu's army, Zhang Tianyou's army, Yang Biao's army, the three armies went west from Bozhou, and they were originally used as suspicious soldiers, Hao Ren didn't expect to rely on this strength to directly attack Chen Youliang's old nest Hankou, but it was just to contain some of the Han's troops. Being able to subdue Chen Youliang's power in Shinshu was an accident, but it was not an accident.

Chen Youliang's army was defeated at Poyang Lake, and the Han regime was shaken, if it were not for Chen Youliang's two sworn brothers Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian to stabilize their positions, the Han ministers would have already dispersed. And after Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui to stand on his own, and then killed Peng Zu's disciples Li Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng, Ding Pulang and Ou Puxiang felt that Chen Youliang was killing the old forces of Tianwan, and it was not surprising that he surrendered to the ground in order to protect himself.

The soldiers and horses of Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu attacked Yuzhang, but they were not suspicious soldiers, and the main force of the army and Hao Ren's Chinese army locked and controlled the north and south of Poyang Lake, and the two armies guarded the corner.

Yuzhang and Jiangzhou, if one city is broken, they can divide their troops to cut off the enemy's rear route in the other city, and the Great Song army can safely control the victory of Jiangxi. If one is defeated, the enemy can also divide his forces to rescue another city, and then try to break the city and pacify Jiangxi, it will be even more difficult.

Hao Ren can't be defeated or retreated, and he often encounters the Spring Army, and he can't be defeated or retreated.

Hao Ren pondered for a long time before he said: "Tell General Chang Yuchun that Jiangzhou is breaking the city at a critical moment, and I am powerless to support him, and he doesn't need to rush to break Yuzhang City to help me, just to ensure that he is invincible. ”

"Your Majesty, doesn't you already have a good plan to break through Jiujiang?" Liu Bowen's face was solemn and asked tentatively.

Hao Ren muttered to himself: "Jiangzhou? Jiujiang? Because there are nine rivers named Jiujiang, the water system can be said to be developed, since the digging fire can not be attacked, it is better to try other methods! Sun Tzu said: 'The attacker is bright with fire, and the attacker is strong with water'. Hao Ren seemed to have made up his mind and said firmly: "Take the map!" ”

Liu Bowen and Shi Nai'an, two members of the army, were both well-educated Confucian scholars, and when they heard Hao Ren's words, they already understood it and seemed to have won the battle.

Shi Nai'an, in particular, seems to have found some inspiration for him to write novels, the bearded old Gao, with his eyebrows and smiles, can't say a word, just give a thumbs up and point, as if he wants to give Hao Ren thirty-six likes, or say in his heart: "Gao-really high!" ”
