Chapter 475: Li Zhu's Strategy

Li Zhu, the number one military division under Wang Qing, personally led the team to act, not to intercept Song Jiang. It is the carelessness of taking advantage of the king's victory. led the most elite 3,000 soldiers to attack the rear grain road to burn grain, and hit the morale of the opponent, so as to win a counterattack opportunity for Wang Qingjun.

It was Song Jiang who was unlucky and ran into this drudgery!

Moreover, the remnants of the defeated army will automatically converge, because it is also an accident to attack Song Jiang due to lack of food. It can only be said that Song Jiang is unlucky, and the broom star is reincarnated.

These court officials and soldiers were exterminated, and a large amount of grain and grass were seized.

There were nearly 20,000 more soldiers under Assistant Li, and the original plan was temporarily changed. On the one hand, Li Xiong, Bi Xian led the army to ambush near the attack point. He also asked Pan Zhong and Liu Yuan to lead 10,000 people to ambush Xijing halfway to Mengzhou. On the one hand, several waves of spies were sent to Xijing to get in touch, and the inside and outside should be combined.

In the end, Li Zhu personally led 3,000 men and horses to kill Mengzhou City overnight. At least a million stone of grain was hoarded there, and it was the main supply place for the front-line army. As long as it is captured, the more than 100,000 troops of the imperial court will definitely panic. Then seize the opportunity to counterattack, front and back, and it will definitely succeed.

Not to mention the extermination of the imperial army, there is a chance of more than ninety percent of the lost territory being recovered. Wang Qing can also go one step further and completely stabilize the territory he occupies and become the king.

Li Zhu Daochang's plan can't be said to be bad!

It turns out that one should not take it lightly until a complete victory is achieved. You can't underestimate anyone, otherwise you can capsize in the gutter at any time.

Such as General Wang Yu, who led the imperial army in battle.

Wang Yu, there are indeed people in history. Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan). The word is a minister. A famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, a national hero, and a soldier from the army. The first year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (11

19), the official went to Wuzhou to observe the envoy, and the infantry army was waiting. In the following year, he changed the control system, participated in the suppression of the Fangla uprising, and attacked Liao from Tongguan.

When Jin attacked the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan abandoned Taiyuan and returned to Beijing, leaving him as the deputy governor of the capital, and commanding the Xuanfu Division to guard Taiyuan. In June of the first year of Jingkang (1126), in addition to the Jianwu Army, the envoy was made. In September, Taiyuan was denied, the army and civilians ran out of food, the city fell, and he led the tired soldiers to fight in the streets, and was shot dozens of times, and then threw himself into the river and died. Guarding Taiyuan for more than 250 days, isolated and helpless, the whole family was martyred!

Therefore, Wang Yu is a national hero in history and a famous general. But at this moment, it is far less important than the old Cheng in history, because he has won a few beautiful battles and regained lost ground. Inevitably, there is some contempt for the pseudo-Chu Caokou.

Not only did he underestimate the enemy, but so did other generals.

Mei Zhan, the envoy of Yingzhou, the envoy of Anping Jiedu in Zhongshan, and Yang Wen the envoy of Lingling Jiedu in Jiangxia, were also happy about the recent victory. Everyone is gearing up to end the battle during the Dragon Boat Festival. Because he was urged by the court for too long, he was scolded and held back his anger.

The generals of the whole army are a little complacent, let alone the soldiers under them? After forming an encirclement steadily, he was a little lax, and he did not patrol or garrison the mountain roads at all, and he could not completely block the transmission of news.

So much so that Aide Lee's plan is half the battle!

Why? Seeing that the situation was not good, the army transporting grain boxes that fled in panic ran back to the front-line barracks to tell the situation. Wang Yu was furious and scolded Song Jiang for being unreliable, and immediately ordered Lao Jiedu to make Mei Zhan and Zhang Kai lead the army to rescue. According to the situation, 30,000 troops were directly transferred.

When the imperial army reacted quickly, there was only a mess on the ground. plums

Exhibition, Zhang Kai The two old generals could only lead the team to collect the corpses.

And Li Xiong, who was ambushed near Xu's location, Bi Xian and the others saw that the other party was overwhelmed, and they did not dare to act rashly. resolutely obeyed Li Zhu's instructions before leaving. Quietly rushed to the ambush point of Liu Yuan and others and got in touch.

Mei Zhan and Zhang Kai finished handling the trivial matters, and the next day after returning to the front line to hand over the order, there were embarrassed remnants of the soldiers who ran to the front line, saying that Mengzhou City was attacked. Wang Yu couldn't sit still now, and sent two old generals to help

And now directly dispatched 50,000 troops.

Mengzhou City is too important to be lost, so Wang Yucai is so anxious.

The two old Jiedu followed the order and led the army to rush to the aid of Mengzhou. Because it was a rapid march overnight, reconnaissance was lax, and Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong were ambushed on the way. Mei Zhan, Zhang Kai is a veteran, experienced in battle, rich combat experience, although not frightened, and the enemy army strangled into a group.

Due to the absolute superiority in numbers, it gradually gained the upper hand.

But at this juncture, the rear of the imperial army shouted and killed. Li Xiong, Bi Xian led eight or nine thousand people to kill, and beat them with their butts. Under the front and rear attacks, the imperial army was defeated and retreated.

After daybreak, there were only more than 30,000 men left in the 50,000-strong army, and Zhang Kai was wounded in the chaos. This makes the cheeks hot and a little self-conscious. But it was to carry out the order, rectify the defeated army, and quickly pounce on Mengzhou.

After arriving overnight, he found that there was no strongman besieging the city here, reporting his name and surname, and after confirming his identity, Mei Zhan and Zhang Kai led the army into the city.

It's just that as soon as the army entered the urn city, the city gate was slammed shut.

From the outer city, a dense crowd emerged from the walls of the urn city, bending bows and arrows

。 Aiming at the suffocation in the urn below, the army suddenly rioted and made a noise.

"Hahaha, Mei Zhan, open up, you're waiting for the plan."

Li Zhu was surrounded by many generals and came to the city wall, pointing down and laughing. Liu Yuan, Pan Zhong and others, who participated in the halfway ambush around them, were impressively listed. Ling Mei Zhan, the eyes of the two old generals were split, and they called it impossible.

Nothing is impossible!

Daoist Li Zhu led 3,000 elites and rushed to Mengzhou City overnight. On the night of the same day, he personally led more than 100 disciples trained by himself, all of whom were masters of swordsmanship, and knew some light body exercises, with the help of hook claws, they easily climbed the city wall, lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and guarded the city gate hole, welcomed the army into the city, and captured the city without much effort.

Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong won the ambush and decisively left some of the men and horses to collect the prisoners. The others marched in a hurry, rushing into the city before the imperial army arrived. With more than 10,000 soldiers, he had confidence in the face of an army of 30,000.

Li Zhu had his own plans, and after he appeared, he took the initiative to persuade him to surrender: "Two old generals, the Song Dynasty has exhausted, don't be obsessed anymore." I, Li Zhu, admire your character, and now you have become a turtle in an urn. It's hard to fly with wings, so to avoid unnecessary casualties, it's better to surrender! ”

"Hmph, don't think about it, we are the officials of the imperial court, how can we surrender and rebel?" Mei Zhan, opened his angry eyes, and yelled loudly rather than give in. At the same time, it boosts morale, even if it is death, you have to pull a few pads on the other party's back.

Li Zhu Daochang used to be a fortune teller, and his mouth was called a neat one. glanced at the dense crowd below, and persuaded him emotionally: "Two generals, you have the courage not to be afraid of death, but don't do it."

and cause others to ignore themselves. 30,000 people! 30,000 lives. You two should also think about the soldiers, lay down your arms! I promise you that you will be safe and sound, and you will see your wife and children, old and young, ......."

The results are clear! As long as they can live, who wants to die?

Mei Zhan, Zhang Kai, the two veterans are not afraid of death, and dare to fight to the end. can perceive the hopeful and wary eyes of the soldiers around him. I understand that as long as I stubbornly hold my neck, I will mutiniate immediately.

Rather than being killed by your own people so meaninglessly, it is better to keep the team and leave a good name. So the two envoys sighed helplessly and ordered the team to surrender. Li Zhu ordered their weapons to be confiscated and separated.

Then, the military advisor began to implement the second step of the plan!
