Chapter 144: Battle in the Empty City (3)

The two women are two large and one small, with a convex and backward figure that is completely in line with the aesthetics of modern people, with slightly darker skin and a bit of healthy color, plus a rope and a tight tie, and the body is more curvy...... It's just that he is the champion plus the supervisor and the parent officer, so it's not quite right to say this. Ouyang realized that he was speechless, and paid attention left and right, no one made fun of him. Kindness...... I don't dare. Ouyang coughed and walked behind the two women to the distance between her lover and asked, "You are Zise, the fourth daughter of the chief of the Rili tribe, and you are the second daughter of the chief of the Yueli tribe, Phantom Jade." Is that right? ”

"Yes!" The only place where the two women don't pass the hall from others is that they don't have to kneel, and the other is that Ouyang Guards are in charge.

"Yueli and Rili have died since they followed Li Jiqian to raise troops against the Song Dynasty, and it seems that many people have died. Coupled with the Hundred Years War with the Song Dynasty, the two tribes originally combined with more than 8,000 people, but now there are more than 5,000 people, right? ”

"......" the two women did not answer.

Ouyang asked, "Are you interested in messing with Da Song?" ”

Phantom Yu didn't speak, and Zi Se said: "If you return to your lordship, *** Li Ancestor was originally a fourth-grade official given by Song Taizu. Then he had no choice but to return to Western Xia. My father used to say that the party members were extravagant and reckless. During the Zhenghe period, there was already a intention of leaving. But when he was about to go to the scholar, the two sides talked about peace and dismissal. If the adults can let us go, we will definitely persuade the tribe to surrender to Song. ”

Li Han said leisurely: "I can trust this day, but according to Song records, Yueli has always been very close to the Tuoba clan. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ouyang asked.

"Well, I heard that there is a marriage from generation to generation."

"Someone." Ouyang instructed: "Sell that person to the kiln, she will not die within three days, so she will copy the kiln and ask the kiln owner for guilt." ”

"Yes!"

The phantom jade was dragged away directly, and Zi Se's face turned pale. Ouyang said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, we are friends, he is our enemy." Someone, untie Miss Zise. ”

Zi Se knelt down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely persuade my father to bring the clan to vote." ”

"Ou is a generation of people in the world to thank the girl. Zhao Liu, take Miss Zise down to change her clothes and set up a banquet for me. ”

"Yes!"

In a private house, Zi Se's face was still red after changing into Song clothes, and Zhao Liu opened his mouth and flowed a table. Zi Se smiled and said, "Your surname? ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive."

Zi Se smiled charmingly and poured wine for Zhao Liu: "Where are you from?" ”

"Yangping!" Zhao Liu held the cup in both hands and touched Zise's little hand.

"That's a good place." Zi Se withdrew his hand and said, "Then the lord must be a close confidant of Lord Ou of the prison army?" ”

"I can't tell." Zhao Liu sighed: "There are still three Li four and five kings in front." ”

"Oh? Why didn't you see them? ”

Zhao Liudao: "They have all been requisitioned to the city wall." ”

"Huh? Aren't you from the side of Lord Ou? ”

"Alas...... It's the bad luck of the adults to put up this errand. You said that you are guarding a broken county, and there are only six hundred prison guards......" Zhao Liu suddenly stopped.

Zi Sedang didn't hear it: "But looking at Lord Ou, it seems that he knows it." ”

"That is, the 20,000 forbidden troops transferred from the northwest arrived in three days." Zhao Liu touched Zise's paws that stretched out in front of him intentionally or unintentionally and said, "It is said that the northwest is cold, but I didn't expect the girl to have a pair of good hands." ”

"The feet are good, too." Zi Se chuckled, his feet raised and rubbed towards Zhao Liu's thighs.

Yueli's phantom jade was brought back again, and not only that, but also loosened the wine banquet. Ouyang raised his glass and said, "Thank you, girl." ”

Phantom Jade laughed at herself: "If you want to thank you, thank you for your punishment." ”

"Those subordinates are not sensible, and they are heavy, so I Ouyang can't compensate the girl here. If it weren't for the girl, we would never have known that this Zi Se turned out to be Li Huan's fiancée. Ouyang said: "I am a businessman, and I am talking about credit." If the girl wants to return to Yueli, Ou will send a hundred taels of silver. The girl wanted to go to the Great Song Dynasty, and Ou gave the girl a big house plus ten acres of fertile land. ”

Phantom Jade asked, "Can I go home now?" ”

"This ...... I have to grieve the girl for three days. ”

"Report!" Zhao Liu came back and reported: "My lord, the woman sent it away." ”

Ouyang asked, "She asked?" ”

"Asked." Zhao Liu asked suspiciously: "My lord, I know that she has a problem, why do you still tell her the truth?" ”

Li Han said on the side: "Fishing for merit." ”

Ouyang Dao: "Do you think I am willing, the imperial court decrees are one after another, and I ask if I have been killed." Besides, it is equipped with so many firearms, and it is defending the city. Six hundred men were enough to deal with them. ”

"Humph!" Li Han didn't say a word and drank by himself.

After the banquet ended, Zhao Liu came to report: "My lord, Phantom Jade escaped successfully." ”

"Good! Immediately bring back the brothers from the southern suburbs. Ouyang touched his nose: "I can't kill you, I actually came to Meng me together." ”

Zhao Liu asked, "How do adults know that they are fooling?" ”

"This day and month may be true. If you see it right, this phantom jade is Li Huan's real fiancée. And the one named Zi Se was the Phantom Jade guard. Li Huan is a royal family, and Zi Se is illiterate, which is too fake. Since it is a *** marriage, literacy is the minimum standard. Moreover, there is the aggression of the opposite sex. When Ziser was touched on his arm and other positions, he looked numb. Looking at Phantom Jade, she will breathe faster when a strange man approaches her. Do you think that Li Huan's status will marry a woman who is as good as a husband? The most important point......" Ouyang smiled: "Even if all my judgments are wrong, such information is brought to Li Huan, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”

"The gambler's mentality, in the unknown situation, there is still a game. What's more, to have such a clue? Ouyang said: "Give an example." There was a merchant who brought 10 guan of goods to Jiangnan to do business, and the middleman lied, and after arriving in Hangzhou, he lost three guan. Then another middleman said that if he went to Yangzhou now, the remaining seventy percent of the goods could be sold for 20 yuan. Do you think this businessman will go to Yangzhou? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Liudao: "Anyway, it's all lost, and the return is nearly three times that of the return, I'd rather believe it than believe it." ”

"Right. Now I'm the middleman, and the bargaining chip I'm using is the county. I'm not afraid that they won't come. ”

Zhao Liu was puzzled again: "Then why did the adults say that firearms are good?" Aren't you afraid to scare them? ”

"This is a part of deception. If Li Huan suspects that this is a ***, he will also take into account what you think. And this confirms the authenticity of the words of the two women. Another point is that reminding firearms is *** their behavior, because they have to find ways to reduce the damage caused by firearms. In this way, their attacking methods are limited, and it is easier for us to deal with them. ”

Zhao Liu continued to ask: "Then what method will the enemy use?" ”

Ouyang Dao: "This question has to be asked to General Zhang and General Zhu, how will they attack in the face of this situation?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "This issue has been studied by General Zhu and General Zhu. There was General Han who used firearms, and then we also showed their whiteness in front of the enemy, so it was impossible to use them in secret. The first way to break firearms is to fight in close quarters, so that firearms are useless. But our scouts were out in all directions, and the walls were clear at a glance, and it was almost impossible for the enemy to sneak in during the day. The only possibility is that in the dark of night, a small group of people was sent to the city to fight fiercely with our army at the head of the wall, and then the main force followed, and the whole army followed up and entangled step by step, forcing our army not to dare to use firearms. Immediately after occupying the city wall, we pursued our troops, forming a stalemate. The biggest drawback of this for the enemy is the abandonment of horse warfare. If it is an infantry battle, my Great Song Forbidden Army is not afraid of any proton army. ”

Zhu Dadao: "The second method is to work carefully and send a small number of people to sneak into the city and be set on fire. Although the two mountains on the left and right of the county are steep, people can also walk on them. If you go around to the south gate and enter, set fire to it on all sides. As long as the fire starts, our army will inevitably not dare to use firearms, and if one is not careful, it may detonate and fall into chaos. This method allowed the enemy to maintain a cavalry team, but it also had significant drawbacks, and it was necessary to pin your hopes on one or two small pieces. ”

Zhang Liang said: "The third way is to charge to the death." The first and second echelons were all dead soldiers, and after rushing into the city, they ignored the killing and wounding of our firearms, set fires everywhere, and forced our troops to give up their firearms. ”

Zhu Da: "The fourth method, horse formation. The enemy is now equipped with one man and three horses. Two thousand horses in a unit made two charges, clearing the way and opening up the range of firearms, and then the main force followed. Once the enemy army is defeated, our cavalry will come out in all directions, and the enemy horses will be tired, and they will inevitably be defeated by our army, and there will be no luck. ”

Ouyang nodded and said: "The second method must not be used by the enemy, not to mention pinning hope on a few people, the county is already a military county, and Lord Li Gang is transporting materials, and his people are as careful as a hair, and there is little hope." The first method is not very likely, climbing the wall at night is the most dangerous, and my city is brightly lit, and the chance of success is very small. Now it's the last two options, and without exception, both of them are to rush into the city and set fire. ”

"If these two methods are adopted, there will be a plan in the end." Zhang Liang said: "It is guaranteed that not a single enemy can escape, and it only takes one night to complete the arrangement." The specific method is ......"

"Well, the only thing I'm worried about now is ...... These two stupid women can't find Li Huan's main force, so we toss blindly. Ouyang ordered: "General Zhang, you go and arrange it." In addition to the necessary duty personnel, the box army, including the prison guard, is at your disposal. ”

"Master Xie." The chapter column is overjoyed.

The two generals went out, and Li Han said indifferently: "The so-called things gather like like, this General Zhang seems to admire the adults very much." ”

"Lord Li, this battlefield is like a shopping mall. I've read through the battle during the political peace period. It was found that both the Song and Western Xia armies lacked strategy, and usually the battle occurred when the two armies accidentally met, and then the main generals of the two sides were encouraged, and everyone was killed together. And many battles show that the Tanguts set up a lot of ambushes and used more deceit and defeat tactics. Small victories are big victories, which accumulate into final victories. The four wars on both sides have emptied the pockets of both sides, and the country is weak and the people are weak. Therefore, I think that fighting Western Xia can only be an economic war. ”

“？” Li Han didn't understand what Ouyang said had to do with what he said.

"The two thousand proton army are all composed of Western Xia magnates, princes, and *** children. It doesn't take much, as long as five hundred people fall into our hands, Western Xia will be in chaos. And if we catch all the dead people, it doesn't matter to the Western Xia at all. But the living ...... There will always be self-interest. Either redeem it privately, or promise us some conditions, or simply abandon the official position and flee. And even if the fathers of these people are all foolish and loyal, then you have to think about whether their emperor will be relieved? The three major parts of a country, the military, and the economy. As long as one of them is disintegrated, the other two will naturally disintegrate. For example, in a rice shop, if there is a problem in any of the three links of purchase, sale, and storage, the store will not be able to open. ”

Li Han sighed after being silent for a long time: "I am indeed inferior to you." I always thought you were catching alive purely for money. ”

"Of course, money is also needed."

Li Yifeng knocked on the door and came in: "My lord, Xiao Yin has done it." I also brought the letter of persuasion. ”

Ouyang glanced at the persuasion letter a few times and asked, "How did you persuade you?" ”

Li Yifeng said simply and clearly: "I told him that Western Xia belongs to Li Qianshun, and JJ is his own." ”

"That's right." Ouyang smiled: "How is the sales of newspapers in Yangping recently?" "The newspaper adopts the method of printing and distributing single periodicals locally, and then sending the single publications to Yangping General Printing. Well, the people of the frontier have a strong desire to buy, after all, they have to pack up their things when they run away.

"One word, grab!" Li Yifeng said: "Listening to the news brought by the brothers over there, many literati and scholars have written poems to inspire the people. In previous years, there would be several wars with the Western Xia, but I don't think it will be possible this year. The will of the people. Oh yes. According to the requirements of adults, several heroes were created. There are those who sacrifice their lives to defend themselves against bows and arrows and pave the way for the attacking troops. There were those who carried explosives to blow up the city gates. The response from the masses was enthusiastic. The court also said that the parents of these heroes were supported by the court for free, and their sons were crowned officials no matter how old they were. In addition, the number of donations has risen dramatically......"

"How much did the people of Yangping donate?"

"400,000 guan."

"Ask someone to bring a message to Gan Xin, 360,000 yuan into the people's money."

"Yes! There is also the Jin State to envoy the emperor to the court, the specific reason is not known. I'm not here, they can't take out the goods from the belly of the old turtle of the ninth father-in-law. The Liao State will also send an envoy to the DPRK in the near future. In addition, according to the news of the Liao State, after the beginning of the spring, Jin Liao fought three times, the scale was several thousand, and the Liao people won two victories and one defeat, and regained the two counties of Tongzhou. Now the army is in Tongzhou, and the Liao people have also transferred some soldiers and horses to defend Western Xia and some soldiers and horses to defend Song. ”

"Report!" The next night, a soldier reported: "A dozen suspicious people were found outside the city, and no fire was raised." ”

"......" Ouyang asked depressedly, "It can't be the Proton Army, right?" Didn't they stop climbing the wall? ”

Just because you deny the possibility of others climbing the wall does not mean that you deprive them of the right to climb the wall. Of course, he couldn't say that, and the soldier said, "Probably, but I guess they didn't find out that we found them." General Zhang asked what to do now? ”

Ouyang thought about it and said, "Tell General Zhang that it is better to startle the snake than let them go up to the city wall." Otherwise, he will make sure that none of the people who go up to the wall will return alive. ”

"Yes!"

Ouyang turned over, went out in his pajamas, and the eight guards at the door followed. The pajamas were designed by Ouyang himself. Anyway, life has to improve. Liang Hongyu has been equipped with new weapons such as *** and ***......

When he went out to the open-air command post near the north wall, Zhu Da saw Ouyang's pajamas and said, "My lord, this dress is quite chic." ”

"I have an eye, I designed it myself." Ouyang asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"General Zhang led dozens of people to patrol the city wall with torches, and it is estimated that they are not sure of the patrol time, so they dare not climb up rashly."

"Yes!" This is not a TV series, the patrol soldiers just look at the road in front of them. Those who patrol the city are under the city.

After a while, Zhang Column came back and said: "The secret post outside the city has reported, and those people have withdrawn." Do you want to send scouts? ”

"No, I don't think it's far away. It's only the second watch now, so let the brothers cheer up, it is estimated that there will be a play tonight. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liang said: "My lord, let's go to South Street to rest first, and send someone to convey any instructions." General Zhu, it's enough to have me here, you still have to protect the safety of the two adults with the people of the headquarters. ”

"Good!"

Ouyang guessed correctly this time, Li Huan was not far from Huanxian County, but it was not close. Of course, this thing is true/false, and it's normal to have mistakes and rightes. Because the sound of horses' hooves at night is too loud, it is inevitable to be discovered if it is too close. When Li Huan received a report from his subordinates that the city wall was patrolled from time to time, he fell into deep thought......

Phantom Jade said hurriedly: "What are you waiting for?" Wait for enemy reinforcements to arrive before attacking? Now that we have seized the county, there are a lot of materials inside, which are enough to support us to take back Tianyi. With one victory in this battle, the Song army naturally collapsed its offensive. ”

"Phantom Jade, we suffered a loss once."

"For generals, the most taboo is hesitation. If you suspect that we will withdraw our troops and wait for reinforcements, otherwise we will attack with all our might. A decision must be made immediately. ”

The generals around him nodded in unison: "Yes, please give the order from the general." ”

Remove? That's impossible. Neither the question of face nor the arrival of enemy reinforcements can be withdrawn. And Li Huan is also inclined to the view that there are not many troops in the city. Otherwise, according to him, the city would have been killed a long time ago, how could he be so passively beaten. Li Huan nodded and said, "Wang Dashui, you take a hundred people to grab the city." Jin Shou led the first wave of 500 people, met resistance and did not fall in love with the war halfway, and went straight to South Street, causing chaos. Phantom Jade, you lead a hundred people to attack in the second wave, and after entering the city, take advantage of the enemy's confusion to separate the two sides of the North Street and light fires. The others waited and I attacked in the third wave. Everyone remembers that it is not allowed to turn the horses around under any circumstances, otherwise the narrow ranks in the city will not be able to spread and will fall into passivity. ”

The torches were lit, arranged in the shape of a poisonous snake, and drove towards the county at full speed, and the poisonous snake finally showed its fangs. Zhang Liang on the city wall was still a little nervous in his heart, this was his first real battle. Qiang waved his hand after calming down: "Withdraw!" Mingjin. ”

Wang Dashui's first batch of 100 warriors went to the city first, and greeted them without the expected rain of arrows, wood, or stones, or even mines. Don't hesitate, the person behind you will arrive. Wang Dashui sighed, dozens of ropes were thrown to the low wall, and he didn't know what to do, and the soldiers below tightened the rope and quickly climbed up.
