The Song army was defeated on the northern front.
In the Linhe Road Army, Zhang Nan's sneak attack failed, and he was defeated and lost, and he was almost dumped by the Jin Army. Of the 20,000 troops who left the division, one or two of them fled back, but Zhang Nan and the deputy general Wen Zhongyue were intact. The military generals who ascended to high positions in the Chengping years may really be just 'talking on paper', but unless they really have a big background, the rest of the people are at least outstanding in martial arts. Zhang Nan and Wen Zhongyue are like this, they fought a bloody way on the battlefield and led the remnants to escape.
However, with the 'defense line' of Linshui, let's call it the defense line for the time being, it was forcibly broken through by the Jin army in many places. Zhang Nan was defeated again, and when the remnants fled back to Yongxing City, the total strength of the original 80,000 people was less than 30,000. But he was still lucky, the Song army's other route army on the northern front, with a force of 70,000 troops, only escaped back to 10,000 ding, and the main general also fell in the formation.
At present, in the half of Kaizhou's territory north of Yongxing City, King Song only has 50,000 soldiers in Yongxing City, and the rest of the city is completely fragmented scattered soldiers, and there is no hope at all.
The war has been fought so far, and even the King of Song himself has been extremely disappointed. I never imagined that the army on the northern front would be defeated so quickly and so miserably, and the southern front, which had always been at a disadvantage, was still holding on. The generals who were "invited" by the Northern Han Dynasty have even sent out several good news!
It's all over. At this time, the king of Song only thought of using the strong Yongxing City to teach the Jin army an unforgettable lesson. Is it possible for the Southern Front Army, which has a glimmer of vitality, to defeat Pei Lun's 200,000-strong army and then rescue Yongxing?
King Song had a very clear answer in his heart - impossible.
β¦β¦
Zhang Nan and Wen Zhongyue were still busy directing and dispatching in the city. The iron pot was used to boil water and gold juice, and it was one of the most important defensive tools prepared at the head of the city, and the Song army would build a pot table every five battlements on top of the four walls.
Although gold juice and boiling water can't kill people immediately, it is enough to burn it. No matter how brave you are, as long as it is not steel cast in iron, a scoop of boiling water will go down to rest with the same skin and flesh.
Of course, some of this is also used to boil oil, and after the oil is gone, it will have to rely on this. Hot oil burns more easily than cold oil. A scoop of down, followed by a fire bolt, is the main means of dealing with the enemy's siege equipment. It's much stronger than just a fire bolt.
Stones, rolling wood, Yongxing City will naturally not lack this.
There are so many vacant houses waiting for them to 'demolish', and there are not as many stones and rolling logs as they want.
The reason why there are so many 'dilapidated houses' in Yongxing City. That's not because a considerable number of the soldiers and civilians in the city lack confidence in the Song king. Especially the merchant eunuchs. There are definitely quite a few of them.
They escaped from Yongxing City long before the Jin army besieged the city, which was an extremely obvious slap in the face of Ji Kang. boSS was furious, and gave an order - 'pickpocket'!
Therefore, the current Yongxing City Head is under every battlement. There are piles of rolling wood and stones, and they are piled up more than a foot high under the city wall.
In addition to the preparation of the city head, Zhang Nan also buried a jar of clear water at the foot of the city wall, and set up a tank of water five zhang away. Not to quench the thirst of the soldiers, nor to prevent fire. It was to prevent the Jin army from digging tunnels.
Water is the softest thing in the material world, and once someone below is working, the vibration will surely cause ripples in the water tank.
Coupled with iron hooks, barrels, wolf tooth slaps, etc., there are all kinds of miscellaneous, anyway, Zhang Nan has made everything he can imagine.
Wen Zhongyue is a black-faced general, although his name is very gentle, but now the exposure to the sun is already black and red.
As one of Zhang Nan's generals, he is the general of the west of Yongxing City.
========================== dividing line =================
Gaoming City North. Ten miles away.
Looking at the group of princes' troops who were blocking the road, Liu Zhuo's face remained unchanged, and his expression fluctuated without the slightest fear, "I am the envoy of the Song army, and I am here to meet your commander." β
The banner of the Song army has long been known to this team of sentinels. Not to mention the banners played, the robes worn by the 100 elite soldiers who accompanied Liu Zhuo alone are very clear. Although the main body is already purple, it is embroidered with yellow edges.
Seeing Liu Zhuo's posture, the leader of the sentry cavalry naturally did not dare to slack off. While giving way, he sent people to return the wisdom quickly.
"Military envoy?"
It was half a day later than expected. At noon on the second day of the Battle of Water Chestnut Lake, he led the army to arrive at the wise Pei Lun, who was stunned. What did the Song army send envoys to do at this time? But he can't see this person, his demeanor can't be bad, he represents the court. Asked his relatives to inform his subordinates of several major generals and join the army, Pei Lun turned back to the backroom with a stomach full of doubts to change his clothes.
The guards' military uniforms have been changed to literary uniforms, not to mention, Eguan Bo belt, elegant posture, Liu Zhuo really has that style.
Liu Zhuo can say good things, although he is unattainable in military strategy, but the task of the war book is more than enough to complete it!
Zhu Biao wants to write a letter to Pei Lun in the next battle, agree on the time and place, and strive to win or lose the battle.
The beautiful battle won by the water chestnut lake of course greatly improved the morale and cohesion of the Song army. However, Zhu Biao understands that there is still a big gap in strength between himself and the prince's army.
If there is no war letter, the soldiers of the two sides will come and go, attacking the east and the west, and playing tricks, Zhu Biao really has no confidence that he can watch the prince's army. But with the constraints of the war book, fighting head-on, relying on the morale inspired before, Zhu Biao was more sure. And most importantly, the speed of time.
Anyway, in a word, now Zhu Biao thinks to himself that the winning rate of the frontal battle in Yokono is a strategic battle, just calculated. He has greater certainty, and makes persistent efforts to turn the false fire that arose in the first battle of the water chestnut lake into a real light of victory.
Therefore, the war letter must be issued. Zhu Biao looked at his army, and wanted to find a person who could speak well and speak eloquently, and at the same time he also took Pei Lun with him, it was really not easy. counted and counted, but Liu Zhuo was the most suitable.
"Who is Your Excellency? What is the matter with our army? Looking at the scribes in the hall with cold eyes, Pei Lun's eyes flashed, his kung fu is good. He asked in a cold voice, his face as cold as ice.
"In Xia Liu Zhuo, I didn't come here for anything else, just for the next battle book." Liu Zhuo took out a letter from his cuff. Naturally, Pei Lun's personal entourage took it and handed it to Pei Lun.
"War book?" Incredible surprise flashed in Pei Lun's eyes.
Does Zhu Biao really think that the battle of Lingjiao Lake is the true expression of his own army? Or did you not look at your own army at all after that battle?
The more than 80,000 soldiers and horses that Pei Lun came back to help, although they really lost two battles, there were still 60,000 people, and the Song army in Gaoming County was close to 70,000.
Zhu Biao is now ashamed to come to give himself a war letter? was stunned, which really surprised and ridiculous Pei Lun...... Take it and take a look, "Zhu Biao, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Pei Lun, the general of Ningshuo in the pseudo-dynasty: the one who steals the husband as the general, does not seek to move like a mountain, and is unpredictable like yin and yang; I don't know the peace of geography, I don't want to see the situation of the future, and I don't need to figure out the shortcomings of the enemy's soldiers, but I only seek to serve the country and the people, and go down in history.
However, the uneducated people rebelled against the heavens, helped the usurper and rebels, set the right into chaos, Huo Gang chaotic dynasty, ruined the lives of the people, and the world suffered, and the people suffered, and the infamous legacy was .........
That is, under the wisdom of tomorrow, at the right time, the army will be dragon and tiger, and the victory or defeat will be decided! β
A puppet dynasty, a usurper and a traitor, Pei Lun was full of sullen face, and glanced at Liu Zhuo, who was calm and waveless, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and shook his hand to give the war book to his general-Bian Liangqun.
From Bian Liangqun to Xia Guogang, the last one passed to Hou Shiping. This general, who was born with a somewhat irritable temper, was furious. Pointing at Liu Zhuo and scolding: "What a big dog, dare to slander the saint, general, why don't you let people drag it down and kill you with a stick!" β
"General Hou Hou is angry, don't forget the big gift: the two armies will not fight and will not be killed." Bian Liangqun and Xia Guogang connected with the guards in the tent, and everyone glared at Liu Zhuo viciously. I can't wait for my eyes to turn into a heart-piercing sword and pierce Liu Zhuo into a hornet's nest. But Liu Zhuo always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people not see a trace of fear, and even felt a touch of ridicule no matter how he looked at it.
"The crown prince has been in charge of the country for a long time, and he has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and he inherited the unification after the death of the emperor. Supervising the country, fulfilling your duties, and being conscientious, how can you be allowed to slander this traitor. Pei Lun didn't want to bother with words, but he couldn't talk about it without paying for it. No matter what you say, you have to support your own boss to save face. "Revitalize the Zhou room, appease the common people, the emperor's ambition, lofty and vast. I can only hate you and other rebel ministers and thieves, cause chaos for no reason, be ambitious and obsessed, don't know the number of days, blame the people, and should be destroyed! You went back to tell Zhu Biao that he would have to worry about changing his life as soon as possible, and he should be a new student. Today, the Holy One is merciful and benevolent, and there is still a trace of merit for you to remember, and you will be spared the death penalty! β
"Hahaha-" Liu Zhuo looked up to the sky with a long laugh, pointing at Pei Lun as his body trembled, chaotic, "Pei Lun, Pei Lun, you are so sharp." The puppet emperor has no grace and righteousness, no authority and no majesty, and brothers cannot be treated, who can settle himself? Although the first emperor's dragon body is not safe, but he has a worry-free life, why did he die early? are all the disasters of the hypocrite. Aren't you ashamed of your grandfathers and ancestors, who eat Zhou Lu in the world, and don't think about repaying the service, but help usurp? β
Arrogant and contemptuous eyes swept over everyone in the tent, Liu Zhuo didn't wait for others to answer, and shouted: "Tomorrow's battle, you and I will fight each other." Never die! But to prevent his angry words from really provoking Pei Lun and the others into the fire, regardless of the knife that cut himself off, or cut off his nose and ears or something.
Liu Zhuo immediately put down the words of 'decisive death', which can be regarded as putting an end to the argument just now.
Pei Lun smiled coldly, "Dirty children, brave people." Go back and tell SΓΉ Zhu Biao, tomorrow in a battle, he will be beheaded by a dog. You don't want to escape, and when death comes, it will be up to you to see if your mouth is still hard at that time. "This is already a promise of war.
Liu Zhuo's face did not see a trace of blush, and he smiled, "General Pei, don't worry, tomorrow will be outside Gaoming City, and our army will come for a while." "Bow your hand," the war book is below, and a certain family will retire. (To be continued......)
