Section 289 The First World War (5)
"Zhiyuan, I'll leave it to you here. Li Cunhou solemnly entrusted: "Yuan Huaihe can't bear it, the Xuzhou army is fierce, and he thinks that if Nanyang is taken as soon as possible, once the Caizhou army collapses on the Songzhou side, the situation will become unpredictable." ”
"Luo Shaowei's side is still not moving?" Liu Zhiyuan, who was walking forward with Li Cunhou, who was a little slower, frowned, "This guy is so ignorant, the king promised such conditions, and he still refuses to send troops?"
Luo Shaowei was frightened by Jiang Feng's military might, think about it, Pinglu Wang Shouzhong was defeated by Jiang Feng in a month, Luo Shaowei's strength is not as good as Wang Shouzhong, he is also afraid that he will be pushed to the front by us and beaten by Jiang Feng as a bird. ”
Li Cunhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiang Feng is indeed a big trouble, but now he can't go all out to wage war against him, these unfed miscellaneous people under his hands will not give up if they can't eat meat, and it is no good to let them fight to the death with Jiang Feng, they are determined to mutiny.
Of course, Liu Zhiyuan knew Li Cunhou's difficulties, not to mention those miscellaneous beards, even if Li Cunhou wanted his headquarters to fight Jiang Feng, he would not agree.
This is why Luo Shaowei was asked to contain Xuzhou, but unfortunately Luo Shaowei was frightened by Jiang Feng's soldiers and refused to be fooled.
"The king can rest assured, here in Ruzhou, a certain will go all out with Chongrong and will never let Liu Tong escape back to Nanyang. Liu Zhiyuan assured Li Cunhou.
"No, Zhiyuan, it doesn't matter if Liu Tong escapes back to Nanyang or not, the key is to leave his army behind, and not let his army retreat to Luyang Pass before Lone enters the Nanyang Basin, this side must be delayed, so that the Nanyang Army thinks that our Shatuo Army is nothing more than this, once Lone's army passes through Mizhou, you can let go and fight!" Li Cunhou shook his head, "If you take Nanyang, you can feed these guys, and if you shirk Lone's order again, don't blame Lone for not remembering the old feelings." ”
"When is the king going to leave?" Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Tonight, Lone will go south to Xuzhou in batches, remember that within three days, Lone will enter Xuzhou, and within ten days, Lone will pass through Xuyang, so after you seven days, you can let go of the fight, and the three sons of the Guo family will also be under your command, dragging Liu Tong's army!" Li Cunhou took a deep breath, "Yelu Deguang's side, Lone also sent a letter, asking him to go south as soon as possible." ”
"Ah?!" Liu Zhiyuan was taken aback, for the Khitans, the Shatuo clan has always held a complex attitude, hoping that the Khitans can go south to Heshuo, put pressure on Xuzhou, and drag Xuzhou, but also worried that once the Khitans go south to Heshuo, I am afraid that it will pose a challenge to the hegemony of the Shatuo people in the Central Plains, so there has always been a different attitude towards this within the Great Jin, and Li Cunhou's attitude is also unpredictable and inconclusive, but he didn't expect that Li Cunhou had already made up his mind at this time.
"Does Zhiyuan think that a certain is a little hasty?" Li Cunhou's face also had a trace of bitterness, and his eyes were a little more confused, " I really didn't expect Xuzhou's power to swell so much, Yuan Huaihe was afraid, Luo Shaowei was stunned, Lone still underestimated Jiang Feng, and what was even more hateful was that the Liang deserters would all be thrown into Xuzhou, Jiang Feng's forces were even more out of control, Lone didn't want the Khitans to go south to Heshuo so early, but Bai Chengfu said that he wanted to hand over his daughter to Jiang Feng as his wife, and the Tuyuhun people formed an alliance with Xuzhou, and there were hidden dangers in our rear, so it was better to let the Khitans go south as soon as possible. ”
Knowing that the Tuyuhun people were going to form an alliance with Xuzhou, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly realized, no wonder the King of Jin would so decisively invite the Khitans to go south, the Khitans and the Tuyuhun people are mortal enemies, once they go south, they will be subject to the attack of the Tuyuhun people and Xuzhou, so that the three parties restrain each other, which is a good thing for the Great Jin.
"The king must firmly control Luo Shaowei, we must have allies in Heshuo, Luo Shaowei is the most suitable, otherwise Heshuo will have no room for us to speak in the future. Liu Zhiyuan suggested.
"Well, so Luo Shaowei was reluctant to attack Xuzhou, and Lone didn't blame him. Li Cunhou nodded, "In addition, the situation in Guanzhong is also a little strange, it is said that the Ganzhou Uighurs have gone south to Guanzhong, what is Yang Wenchang going to do, the party people are on the way, it seems that the party people are a little reluctant to give Yang Wenchang a gun." ”
"King, I'm afraid we don't have so much energy to ask about the affairs in Guanzhong, solving Nanyang is a top priority, as for the party members, it is also a wolf who can't be fed, not much better than Yuan Huaihe, in the opinion of his subordinates, you can be a snake, don't pay too much attention to it. ”
Liu Zhiyuan's perception of the party has always been bad, a group of guys who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, have a huge appetite, but they are unwilling to pay, and they are not worth befriending.
"Knowing the distance, people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, this is an old saying of the Han people, and I feel very reasonable. Li Cunhou disagreed with Liu Zhiyuan's opinion, "There is a contradiction between the party and Yang Wenchang, it is not a bad thing for us, our current strength is not enough to dominate the Central Plains, and we still need some allies to help, if the party and Yang Wenchang have a bad relationship, then after we take Nanyang, we can support the party to contain Yang Wenchang, but you are right, everything has to wait until we take Nanyang!"
Zhu Mi pressed the Mithril Mixed Yuan in his hand and plunged it into the mud in front of him, his eyes like a torch, staring at the front.
The counterattack momentum of the Caizhou army is very strong, no, to be precise, it should be the private army of those gentry in Song City, including some military generals and officers from the gentry.
It stands to reason that these people don't have much grudge against the Xuzhou army, and they don't know why they are sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, which makes Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi quite surprised.
But they soon realized that these people were afraid that they were forced to do nothing, and most of them were for the wives and children in the city.
This can be known from the few soldiers captured later, according to the order of the Caizhou army, everyone must launch a round of charges before they have the opportunity to go back to meet their families, and if they can kill a soldier of the Xuzhou army, they can not only reunite with their families, but also get a reward of ten taels of silver, and will not participate in the battle again.
These characters, who were originally regarded as sending death in the Heshuo army, burst out with unprecedented courage for the sake of their families.
Although the gap between them and the Xuzhou army could not be made up in any case, this kind of desperate struggle still affected some of the morale of the Heshuo army to some extent, and also brought some losses to the Heshuo army.
After all, they were all soldiers of the gentry of Songcheng, and a year ago, many of the soldiers of the Heshuo Army were also soldiers of the Liang Army.
But as the war became more and more bloody and cruel, the result of your life and death also forced the soldiers of Heshuo to kill, and there was no longer the previous mercy, especially in the long-range strike equipment, and they no longer had any scruples, sweeping all the way, so that the offensive launched by these private armies quickly disappeared.
There was a loud "boom, boom", and this was another round of Earth Trapping Spell Array that had been triggered.
Although there is the assistance of a magician, the magicians in Caizhou are not vegetarians, they often use double compound spells, either the former is a wooden spell trap, and the back is an earthy spell array, or an earthy spell in front, followed by a fire spell group, or a few low-level spell weapons are hidden, which are not of much value, but they are better than being able to cause damage to you in specific situations.
This method not only brought considerable losses to the Heshuo army, but more importantly, it greatly dampened the morale of the Heshuo army and forced them to slow down the progress of the attack.
Zhu Mi suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that as the main general, he could not be emotionally impulsive, and now he had not even approached the moat, and he had already lost more than 300 people, although most of them were wounded, but the dead had already passed 100 people.
The preparation of the Caizhou army was more thorough than expected, especially in the ground and underground around the city wall, and all kinds of magic materials were also unprecedentedly willing, and the Heshuo army really hadn't encountered this kind of resistance before, so it was also a lot of losses in the early stage.
However, the Heshuo army's ability to adjust and adapt is still quite strong, especially these Liang soldiers, and soon began to stagger forward with targeted detachments and branches, so that they can not only cover each other, expand the exploration area, but also speed up on the other hand.
Shang Yunxi seemed much calmer, he knew very well that the more the Caizhou army worked hard outside the city, it meant that their strength in the city was insufficient, and they had to use this way to delay the advance of the Heshuo army.
Shang Yunxi is not afraid of sacrifice, fighting will kill people, the key is whether the death is worthwhile.
As long as you can get under the moat within the stipulated time, then it's all worth it.
As for the losses, most of the dead were the soldiers of the Great Liang, and the real capture of Song City, these losses can also be supplemented from the soldiers of the Caizhou army.
"Lao Zhu, order the Third Army to speed up the progress, and the Fourth Army to detour and approach from the flank!"
"Yes, Governor!" Zhu Mi quickly ordered, "The stone cannon is in place, ready!"
The Giant Stone Cannon and the Warp entered its attack range, at which distance it was already possible to hit the city walls, but if it could be pushed forward fifty paces, the attack would be even more effective.
"Lao Zhu, have you noticed, there is a suspicious place in the front left. Shang Yunxi's clairvoyant mirror was always in his hand, "If my judgment is correct, the Caizhou army may have to make a fuss with the water of the moat, which is low-lying and has deep vegetation, and once it is flooded, it can create chaos." ”
"Dudu, the flooding is not very lethal to our army, even if it causes some chaos, the Fifth Army is behind them, and it can be reinforced at any time, they will not succeed at all. Jumi was also aware of the anomaly over there, "unless they have some other conspiracy." ”
Shang Yunxi's gaze has been observing through the clairvoyant mirror, water attack is not a new trick, especially in this situation, the general subsidence is of little significance, but what if the water has been spreading down, making this area become a quagmire?
Shang Yunxi somewhat understood.
The enemy's target is still a giant stone cannon truck,
