Gao Xiang led a group of nobles to deceive the city gate, and did not dare to raise the fire to light the lamp, went straight out of the west gate, wanted to first get out of the Song army's encirclement and then choose the road to the north, from Jingzhou to escape back to Xingqing, but after walking for less than three miles, he saw a sudden fire in front of him, and he knew that no less than a thousand horsemen were coming to them when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

"Run, Zhongfu!" Gao Xiang didn't see it well, shouted, turned the horse's head and wanted to run back, but which of these people who came out with him didn't drag the family, the children and wives were a lot, and there was still a lot of family wealth behind them, so it was not easy to turn around.

Gao Xiang can see it, and those who come out with him are not blind, so they naturally see it, and in the panic, it is like a hornet's nest suddenly falling sparks, and the camp is chaotic in an instant, calling his wife and children to go their own way, and for a while people and horses collide, trampling on each other, children crying, women screaming, and no one can care about anyone. But he couldn't run far, and the cavalry of the Song army also appeared on both wings, coming around in an arc, and there was no future, so he could only return to the city, and these people were all driven back.

"It's over..."These people came out not far away, the city gate has not been closed, the drawbridge has not been pulled up, the people and horses are rushing to run first, more than 1,000 people crowded over, the sergeant guarding the city is too late to close the door, Gao Xiang looked at the rapidly approaching Song army and sighed, knowing that the west gate of the road is also over.

"May I ask which general is on the other side, Gao Xiang, the prefect of Xia Lingzhou, who led the crowd to surrender the city!" Gao Xiang saw that his life was on the line, so he repeated his old tricks, I surrendered, and left the brigade with a few cronies to meet the Song army and shouted.

"I am Liu Yanqing, who are you?" Liu Yanqing reined in his horse, looked up and down at the comer, and asked.

"In the lower pseudo-Lingzhou City Governor Gao Xiang. This is the people of my Great Song Dynasty, twenty years ago, the Xia army besieged the city, in order to protect the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, they had no choice but to surrender to the enemy. But below is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, looking forward to the arrival of the heavenly army day and night, and today I finally look forward to it, and I will dedicate the city to repay the grace of heaven..."Gao Xiang wanted to see his relatives, and pulled Liu Yanqing's horse with a handful of snot and tears and cried.

"This son surrendered!" Liu Yanqing didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at Gao Xiang with a loud shout, and Gao Xiang, who was still chattering and expressing his loyalty, fell to the ground in surprise, and blood spurted out of his cavity. The corpse fell to the ground, "Quickly march into the army, seize the gate and enter the city!" Cutting Gao Xiang, Liu Yanqing waved his knife and shouted. The striker slaughtered the city gate.

"This is really the credit sent to the door..."Liu Yanqing picked up Gao Xiang's head with a knife and said with a smile, he has been on the border for many years, he has already become an oilman, and seeing that the city is about to be broken, this Lingzhou prefect please surrender. That credit became his, and he still only had to drink the soup, but what a great credit he had for beheading the prefect of Lingzhou with his own hands, and those who ran back desperately. It looks like it's either rich or expensive, and it's a credit to kill it!

Poor Gao Xiang is unladylike. I sent myself to the point of no return, but there are always pros and cons to things. Gao Xiang was killed so that the defenders of the city saw it clearly, they panicked, and they couldn't care about those who fled, while rushing to close the city gate, while firing bows and arrows to the city, rolling wood and stones smashed down, and the Yan army who grabbed the gate and those nobles were slapped under the city, Liu Yanqing had to redeploy his forces to attack the city. But if he accepted Gao Xiang's invitation to surrender, he could drive straight into the inner city, but now because of his greed for a moment, he can only pay a greater price, and what is more serious is that he completely blocked the retreat of the Xia army out of the city, and the Xia army had to fight to the death...

The south city gate is the main gate of Lingzhou City, and the temples, restaurants, shops, and forest gardens on both sides of the street are densely packed, which is the most prosperous place in Lingzhou City. The loyal warriors defeated the resistance of the Xia army near the city gate and immediately advanced along the main street, but the defeated Xia army retreated into the street, and with the help of the cover of the house, they continued to resist and delay their attack.

Street fighting is the most brutal form of urban warfare, and it is something that the attacking side should try to avoid. During the Gulf War, even the U.S. military, known as the world's No. 1 U.S. military, was cautious when it entered Baghdad, lest it get involved in street fighting; The second-ranked Russian army fought in the Battle of Grozny in the Chechen War for almost a month, bombing the city into ruins, but it still paid a heavy price, and even the former enemy commander was killed by the opposing sniper, which can be described as tragic! …,

Zhao Ta is engaged in psychological warfare and deterrence warfare, that is, he wants to destroy the Xia army's will to fight, and let them abandon the city and flee after the city is broken, but it cannot be said that Zhao Ta gave up street fighting, and during the pre-war training, he chose to abandon the city and organize various departments to conduct street fighting training, and formulated corresponding tactics for the situation in Lingzhou City.

After entering the city, the houses are dense, and the walls of all kinds of houses are relatively strong, and they are quite resistant to bullets and arrows, so the enemy will often rely on dense buildings to resist, and the enemy will often pay heavy casualties for every step forward. The loyal and brave troops did not adopt the tactics of attacking hard and fighting house by house, but took advantage of their superiority in firepower to adopt a roundabout attack to divide the enemy's occupied area, so that the enemy army was isolated and had the illusion of being surrounded, and automatically defeated, and then took the opportunity to capture and annihilate the defeated army.

The mode of operation is to first monitor the enemy from the front with one division, and the main force is ready to make a detour to the enemy's flank and launch a surprise attack. At this time, if all the enemy's retreat routes are cut off, the enemy will inevitably resist desperately, so it is necessary to let go of a retreat route and secretly deploy heavy weapons on this side. After the assault began, if the enemy broke through the retreat route drawn by our plan, and after entering the ambush circle, he would strafe and annihilate him with heavy firearms prepared in advance.

But the Xia army also had the courage to be a lone hero, and the loyal soldiers carried out a direct attack in this unavoidable situation. At this time, there are also corresponding tactics, they first send a strong team to control the commanding heights first, clear the rooftops, trees, etc.? p>

Zhao Ta, under the escort of the guards, also came to the city along the opened passage, and he climbed a four-story pavilion outside the inner city, scanning the Lingzhou City at night. At this time, the moon had risen, but it was shrouded in gunsmoke, revealing only a bleak glow, and the fire in the city was not extinguished, the sound of killing continued, and the battle was still going on everywhere.

"Lord Wang, should we wait for the Jingyuan Army and the Yan Army to complete the clean-up task before attacking the inner city, besides, the troops have been fighting for a long time, and the sergeants are very tired and urgently need to rest, it is better to wait until tomorrow after dawn to fight!" Zhao Ren asked tentatively, the loyal army has been undertaking the most arduous task of attacking fortifications, and the first Chen soldiers were under the city, but the two friendly armies that were responsible for sending reinforcements and picking up cheap were caught in a bitter battle, and they were entangled by the remnants of the soldiers and could not reach.

Zhao Ta was very annoyed in his heart, those two were really muddy and couldn't get on the wall, let them wait for the opportunity to enter the city but didn't listen, they had to grab the credit, these forced the Xia army to a dead end, and they fought to the end, now not only can't help, but also ask for help with a shy face, but now the war is tight, and he can't spare his hands to clean them up. And what he is most worried about is that the food has not yet arrived, if Wei Ming Anhui waits until tomorrow to find that he is completely isolated, I am afraid that the first thing he will do is to burn the grain and grass first and then fight with himself.

That is millions of stone of grain, can be eaten by their loyal army for a few years, the whole city can eat for more than a year, if you lose this batch of food, you have to feed food from the east of the river thousands of miles, not only to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, at this time their newly occupied land is not stable in the rear, but also to risk being attacked by the Xia army. What's more important is that I have been fighting for a long time, and I haven't reaped any benefits, and I have to pay for the old subsidy, which makes the burden of the people in Hedong heavier and the treasury more empty, how can this make them support themselves in the future!

"Can't wait any longer!" Zhao Ta made a decision, "Zhao Ren, what are the losses of the various departments now, and how many reserves are there?" ”…,

"Lord Wang, our army's tiger generals, lion generals, and leopard generals were the first to participate in the battle with large losses, with nearly two thousand casualties, and the dragon generals have always served as a reserve, and only participated in the attack after entering the city, and the combat strength is basically complete, and all departments still retain a reserve under the command of the commander and do not put it into battle, ready to use it in attacking the inner city." Zhao Ren thought for a while and immediately replied.

"Okay, you ordered the dragon to support the Xicheng Yan army; The lion generals and leopards will each allocate half of their troops to support the Jingyuan army in Dongcheng, and the rest of the men and horses will control the various communication arteries on the periphery of the inner city to prevent them from breaking through and reinforcing the periphery; The Tiger will rest on the spot and serve as the general reserve; I'll lead the Guards battalion to attack the inner city! Zhao said.

"Lord Wang, there are only more than 1,000 troops in the Guards Battalion, but there are still 8,000 elite Xia troops in the inner city, how can they fight it!" Zhao Ren saw that the prince had a 'whim' again, and his brain hurt, this is a siege not a defense, they all say 'ten are to besiege it, five to attack it', the prince has seven or eight times less troops than others, but he dares to attack the city, although this inner city is weaker than the outer city of Lingzhou, but he is bold enough!

"Deputy Marshal, do you doubt the combat effectiveness of our Guards Battalion, might as well choose those people from the Advance Battalion?" Before the prince could speak, Zhao Xin, who had been following behind the prince, spoke first.

"That is, in addition to the guard battalion, there are also my five hundred Fuzhou state troops, but we have followed you for more than a thousand miles, and we have not fought a single battle, and we have not achieved an inch!" Zhe Meiluan also opened his mouth to Zhao Ren.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, the Guards Battalion is the elite of our army, no one can compare, and the Fuzhou army is also brave and good at fighting, but you have to put the safety of the prince first, how can you move lightly!" Zhao Ren hurriedly explained.

"There are 1,200 people in the Guards Battalion, and there are 1,000 people in addition to the internal guard squadron that protects the prince, and 500 people in the Fuzhou Army, there are 1,500 people. Now that your machine gun battalion is no longer needed, they will all be transferred to us to cooperate in the battle, and if you are still not at ease, you can also assign your personal guards to me for use, so that there are nearly 3,000 people, and it is enough to deal with them! Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Ren and said with a smile. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
