Chapter 742: A Miracle in the History of War

I don't know if Wang Jing's defenders were stimulated by the annihilation of the border army's ambush, anyway, when the Liangshan army crossed the river, it was not disturbed by the opponent's attack, so Wang Lun, who had made a lot of preparations in advance, had a feeling of punching the air. When he found that there was a rather optimistic mood among the leaders around him, Wang Lun faintly felt that things should not be so simple.

At this time, the team gathered around Wang Lun included the Liangshan garrison Lin Chong's department, Han Shizhong's department, the Ma army's Xu Ning department, Zhang Qing's department (missing a battalion, battle damage), and Lu Junyi's department (Guan Sheng's department was on the way at this time because he had previously carried out a cleaning mission in the border area between Yangguang Road and Jiaozhou Road), a total of five armies, with a total number of nearly 40,000 people, including more than 23,000 cavalry.

Such a cavalry, even in the Great Song Dynasty, is quite strong. It was Wang Lun's decision to cross the Han River and essentially blockade Wang's capital before waiting for the infantry to come to rendezvous. It would be great if you could still get a decent field battle or two along the way.

Unfortunately, in the end, this idea fell through again.

Although according to intelligence, the Goryeo had a decent cavalry in their hands, but they were all killed and wounded in this ambush. However, there is still a large number of cavalry in Wang Jingcheng, although they are undoubtedly immature and fresh compared to their predecessors on the south bank of the Han River, who can no longer be immature, and they can no longer be fresh, but they can be regarded as a force at all, after all, the scene of thousands of horses galloping is also very capable of bluffing. Who would have thought that Li Ziqian would not engage in any gimmicks this time, but he would desperately cover this horse army, and he didn't mean to let them appear at all.

As a result, the Liangshan army arrived at Wangjing without surprise or joy.

At this time, the officers and men of the Liangshan army did not realize that they were about to create a miracle in the history of warfare, with a regular army of less than 40,000 people, they simply surrounded the capital of Goryeo, which was stationed with 300,000 defenders. The essence of the art of war.

Of course, these are all later words, at this time, the Liangshan army, up to the leaders, down to the ordinary soldiers, still hope that the opponent can open the city and fight a duel.

This is the second time in Wang Lun's life that he has led a large army to the capital of the enemy country, and the freshness has lost a lot. But this time, the generals who followed him reacted very differently, after all, when the last attack on Beijing was opened, most of them stayed on Liangshanbo to guard the base camp. I regret that I didn't see that grand occasion. It's easy to be on the scene now, and there are many people who can't suppress the excitement on their faces.

Also, in the past, they were either depressed middle and lower-class military generals in the court, or rich men like Lu Junyi who had no worries about food and clothing, and then they were mountain kings like Zhu Wu, when could they have imagined that they could experience such a big scene one day?

The Great War of Annihilation! is the famous general of the ancients, this kind of thing is an encounter for them that can be met but not sought, who would have thought. The life that was originally not talked about hope will become so bright and exciting after falling into the grass?

"Brother, how about letting the younger brother bring someone up to fight?"

The Fan Luo Army, which was in a state of recuperation, did not move with the army, but Shi Wengong was not a bare-bones general. He also had more than 10,000 Goryeo servants who came from Guangzhou City, which was the only infantry army under Wang Lun at present.

"There are dates or no dates, let's take a shot first! But don't go in person, I think this city has been prepared. The equipment for defending the city is also relatively complete, you can send a pawn up to test the temptation first! In fact, Wang Lun didn't have much hope, after all, they even abandoned the Han River. How can you go out of the city lightly? It's just that the leaders around him all expressed their fighting spirit to extinguish this morning food, so that they could see the determination of the Goryeo people to strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness, and it was also necessary to calm down.

Shi Wengong was very efficient, and it didn't take long for him to see a small officer walking towards the city with two guards holding large shields. As if instructed by Shi Wengong, the three of them walked very slowly, except for one person who raised his head to pay attention to the movement on the city wall, the remaining two people were all looking down and groping, looking ready to pick up money at any time.

The money was not picked up, but the traps dug by the enemy in advance found a lot. The three of them silently continued to move forward cautiously, but at this moment, the city reacted very quickly without grace, only to hear the sound of "Teng, Tengteng", and for a time dense mud bombs flew up from the city wall several feet high, and smashed towards the place where the three people were.

Seeing that the hundreds of mud bombs in the air had not yet landed, and a group of them rose into the air, the three of them secretly scolded the people in the city for being crazy, they were just three messengers, could they use such a reckless cost to cover a radius of several miles? At this time, for them, not only was it too late to turn back, but there was no room to dodge left and right, and in a hurry, the three of them hurriedly embedded the two large shields deep into the ground, and they all hid under the protection of the shields, in order to avoid this bad luck. I don't know if it's because the operators on the city tower are not skilled or what, anyway, none of the mud bombs that fell hit these three people.

It stands to reason that these three people should be deeply glad at this time, but at this time they all want to die, it turns out that the defenders are not pure mud bombs at all, and their core is the excrement after the reincarnation of human grains. I don't know if the defenders of the city felt sick and unbearable when they carefully made these "chemical" weapons, anyway, the three servant sergeants hiding under the shield were already dying.

Not to mention them, it was the Liangshan army from a safe distance, and they all covered their noses when they heard it. Only Shi Wengong was calm and composed, which made the generals who had eased their relations with him all look sideways and secretly admired.

"This Lord Li is on guard against us, and he won't even let us speak!" I saw Zhu Wu pinching his nose and looking back at Wang Lundao.

"Not daring to let the messenger speak, it means that he is very likely to be unstable internally! Those who are strong are often inward! Wang Lun made his own judgment, but it was also strange that an outsider was recognized by 90 percent of the indigenous population, and Li Ziqian's internal stability was strange.

"Looks like the defenders are planning to die with us! Brother, set up camp! "Zhu Wu, the master of the Divine Machine, did not have any good way to break the city for the time being, and the opponent was determined to shrink behind the city wall, and even gave up the natural danger of the Han River, indicating that the opponent did not intend to contact the Song army head-on at all, but just wanted to use a trick that was old but still very effective: logistics, to defeat the opponent.

"I should be able to save a meal of food today, the battle is like this, who still has the appetite!" Zhu Wu smiled bitterly and laughed at himself. So far, there has been no crisis in the food supply of the Liang Shan army, although the pitiful amount of grain and grass captured by Yu Lu can be ignored in the face of huge consumption, but Liang Shanbo's full preparation before still came in handy.

"The problem of food is a big thing and a small thing. If you can't quickly defeat Wang Jingcheng, then a small problem will eventually become a big problem. ”

Wang Lun frowned slightly, looking at the fortified city in front of him and pondering, at this time Han Shizhong suddenly stepped forward and said: "Brother, junior brother remembers that Xu Junshi said in the martial arts hall, 'Go out of what you want, attack what you must save!'" 'Shall we come first and force this group out?' (To be continued......)
