At this time, the East China Sea Coalition Army has been repulsed, and there is a scream of ghosts crying wolves under the city wall, which can be called corpses all over the field, a mess, and even a disgusting smell of burnt meat came, and the East China Sea Coalition Army was also quite indifferent, and did not care about these half-dead people under the city wall, but retreated, probably did not expect the attack of this county town to be so sharp.

At this time, it was already noon, and someone had already brought food, as long as it was on the city wall, they all ate the same meal, which was stipulated in the Dongxia state, that is, to share weal and woe. Although there must be people behind the scenes, but no one dares to do it on the bright side, it can be seen that although the Eastern Xia Kingdom is the weakest and is located in a bitter cold place, it is really unique to be able to stand side by side with the other four countries.

At this time of eating, you can see the difference between Xinding and the veteran, Xinding is pale, leaning against the wall, and does not want to drink water, while the veteran eats very fragrantly, as if others will come to grab it.

Lin Fengjin was also a little hungry at this time, so he also went to get one, which was two wheat steamed buns, and there was a sauce dish for dipping in seasoning, vinegar and chili peppers or something, and a bowl of vegetable porridge, but the vegetable porridge was full, and the steamed buns were gone.

Lin Fengjin took a bite, and found that the steamed bun was only a little hot on the outside, and a little cold on the inside, it should be mixed with bran inside, and it was a little rough and killing, but the vegetable porridge was piping hot, and the appearance was also very good, the snow-white rice grains, the green vegetable leaves, the fragrance of the vegetable leaves was cooked very deliciously, Lin Fengjin drank a few sips with semi-cold cakes, and then found that it was very suitable for his appetite, so he went to add a few bowls.

After eating at noon, after discussing for a while, the other party seemed to realize that the archers on the side of Shangqiang County were very sharp, so they did not despise it, but planned to carry out a decent siege, so they had to dig a ditch to divert the water from the moat first. Then fill in the trenches.

While doing this, he began to divide his forces, from concentrating on one wall to attacking both the north and south walls at the same time, with the intention of thinning the strength of the defenders.

Obviously, after this tentative attack, according to the character of the other party, once it is ready, then this time it should be dispatched to the elite and the Red Banner and other combat forces, wanting to break the city in one fell swoop.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Fengjin also had a countermeasure. Of course, he will not be stupid enough to divide the troops of the other party, his red cavalry must be gathered together, so as to exert the greatest strength, as for the red flag, the samurai is a single body with superior combat power, and there are also people who are proficient in martial arts in the city to meet him, such as the deputy dart head of the Ping An Dart Bureau, and a retired martial artist, and there are also several brave people among the soldiers. Naturally, they are there to resist.

Isn't it that the east and west gates are not surrounded, and as long as the other party starts to attack, the red horsemen will gallop out. Using bows and arrows to throw harassment from the side, in this way, the East China Sea Coalition Army is not a strong army in the first place, and it is still in a state of cannon fodder for the siege. Being hit on both sides by such a two-sided attack is bound to collapse.

Draining the water from the moat and filling in the moat are not small projects. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three or five days to attack, but Shangqiang County had already been breached once before, and the nearby city walls and moats had also collapsed as if they had been vented by the East China Sea pirates, so in the afternoon, the convenience was already impatient to start the attack from this gap, and at the same time, the civil engineering works in the rest of the places were not put down, and the water was continued to be diverted and filled.

This time, Lin Fengjin originally thought that his red horse should have a chance to play, but no one expected that something happened.

Just when the battle to defend the city was in the ascendant, it was as if a man and a woman were rolling the sheets, and Cheng Dù, who had already taken off his clothes and had not yet made substantial contact, the reinforcements arrived.

What reinforcements, of course, are the reinforcements of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

Even Lin Fengjin ignored this, in fact, he had stayed with Wu Zuocheng for too long, so he had already habitually considered the problem from Wu Zuocheng's point of view, and Wu Zuocheng had always been in a situation of hard work and isolation.

However, this is not Wu Zuocheng, but Shangqiang County! It is the granary of the Dongxia Kingdom -- an important town on the Lianhu Plain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is known as the mouth of the Yangtze River! If this place is ruined by the East China Sea Pirates, then the life of the Dongxia Kingdom will be quite sad next year, because the Lianhu Plain, where Shang Qiang is located, only occupies half (5 percent) of the land area of the Eastern Xia, but the grain produced every year on this fertile land will account for 40 percent of the grain output of the Dongxia Kingdom!

Therefore, since I heard that there was chaos here, it can be said that the court of the Eastern Xia Kingdom was stabbed fiercely, as if someone had kicked it in the crotch, and reacted with the fastest efficiency to suppress the thief, and even let the general who led the army make a military order.

A large number of cavalry came from the west, and they immediately crashed into the camp of the East China Sea Alliance.

There is a way for laymen to see the liveliness, insiders to see the doorway, although the cavalry of the Eastern Xia Army this time is not less, at least one or two thousand people, plus the billowing smoke and dust brought up when galloping, the momentum is quite prosperous, and it is still in the case of the enemy's division of troops, so there is a feeling of taking the lead in the first place.

However, the people around Lin Fengjin were shaking their heads one by one, for these men in the Sanli Division, they pulled one out at random, and the time spent on horseback was definitely richer than that of the commander of the cavalry, so whether they were educated or cultured, these people had a first-class vision in terms of cavalry.

In addition, Lin Fengjin kept instilling in them the war culture of the Central Plains along the way: besieging the city to send reinforcements, attacking the east and west, and transferring the tiger from the mountain, these people immediately felt that their eyes suddenly opened up, and a golden avenue appeared, and even some people were overjoyed, holding the book of war trembling and kneeling on the ground.

Why? For these men are so experienced to a certain extent, and are in that stage of inspiration, and in peacetime wars, they occasionally find that at some point the sabre and the bow and arrow are not the decisive factors in war, and that certain battles that seem absolutely impossible to win can be completely defeated by a different way.

They began to ponder whether this "change of way" was accidental or inevitable, whether it appeared regularly, and whether it could be replicated in the rest of the unfought battles, and Lin Fengjin opened a door for them at this time, and simply told them. What you want is achievable, and the Central Plains has already discussed it in simple terms, and there are a series of extended discussions!!

Therefore, these red horsemen around Lin Fengjin are actually hungry to absorb the knowledge and culture of war, the most typical is Wolf Tu, this reckless man who only knows how to rush and fight also began to read military books.

Lin Fengjin was watching the battle from the city tower at this time, and his subordinates shook their heads one after another, and said:

"It's just that I can't think about it in my heart, so I must say it and discuss it. You must know that a person's mind is always limited, and brainstorming is the real truth, what do you think this cavalry is not doing well? Come, Tuohu, you say it first. ”

Tuohu stood closest to Lin Fengjin at this time, and after listening to it, he said:

"The cavalry chose the wrong time, they rushed too early, I think. It should be the most suitable time to enter when the opposite side has sent out the red flags, samurai and the like, and they have already been inseparable from the city. ”

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"In principle. That's right, but you should also put yourself in the shoes of the leading generals, they should have been given strict orders to ensure that Shangqiang County is not lost. At this time, it has been almost four days since Lao Wang (Wang Yuanwai) sent the above submission, and it should have reached the state capital level at least. Therefore, the incoming army should be very clear about the situation in Shangqiang County. ”

"In their eyes. More than 3,000 thieves have already attacked Shangqiang County, although they were recaptured later, but that night the East China Sea thieves counterattacked again, this time even the Zhixian Yamen was brutally poisoned, after these two turmoil, under normal circumstances, Shangqiang County can organize people to resist is already very rare! And at this time, the thief army has made a comeback, and it is even more with a superior strength of eight or nine thousand! Therefore, the general of this army chose to attack at this time, and it was helpless, because he felt that if he did not appear again, Shangqiang County would inevitably fall under this wave of offensive. ”

Tuohu nodded convincingly:

"Yes. ”

At this time, Chibixiong said:

"I see that these cavalry horses are a little vain when they gallop, and even the horse's chew is covered with white foam, obviously they have galloped for a long time, and they are already at the end of the crossbow, and the fat of these horses is also extremely bad, it can be seen that there is no intention when raising, with such cavalry to impact the enemy, what impact can it have? Don't trap yourself in it, this thousand horses, I took a hundred red horsemen to rush down and hang them, and I can defeat them in half an hour. ”

"Huh. Lin Fengjin smiled: "If you compare them with the red horse, then the requirements are too high." ”

Tuohu immediately followed Lin Fengjin's words and said:

"Yes, can wolves be compared to sheep?"

At this time, another guard said:

"These riders are not very tall, and I think some of them are very reluctant to control the reins with one hand, let alone ride and shoot. ”

Although the cavalry army that came was almost sprayed by the people around Lin Fengjin, they were also the regular army of the Eastern Xia Army, and such a direct breakthrough still caused a heavy blow to the East China Sea Coalition Army when the other party was unprepared.

Lin Fengjin saw very clearly from the top of the city tower that after this cavalry army rushed into the enemy formation from the west, it had just lost its impact force halfway through it - to be honest, it was really a very fatal thing for the cavalry to have such a situation.

The destructive power caused by the cavalry sprinting at high speed can be said to be quite amazing, and if the collision force of the man and horse is combined, normal people can only use the mantis arm as a car to describe it, and the rider does not need to wield a weapon at all, what he does is to adjust the angle of the tip of the gun or the blade, and he can easily pierce the human body, or cause terrible wounds on the enemy's body.

However, this is based on the sprint, once the cavalry loses this advantage and falls into the encirclement of the infantry, it can be said that it is a headache one-on-one, the other party can give full play to the advantage of maneuvering, and continue to stab behind the horse's buttocks, which is very disgusting, the speed of the horse's turn is definitely not fast for anyone to switch positions, not to mention that in the real battlefield, the cavalry speed drops, and at least five or six people can surround the horse!

There is a way that two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone when there are five or six people around?

Because of this, the East China Sea Coalition did not collapse directly, but after the cavalry rushed into the camp. Urged by the sharp bamboo whistles blown by many ashigaru heads, they frantically surrounded it. The two sides began to present a stalemate situation, looking at the battle situation below, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but think of the scene he had often seen in the north in his previous life - a bulky snow plow, the engine had a heart-rending roar, and there was billowing black smoke behind the buttocks, struggling to shovel away the large pile of snow on the road, as if it was about to break down in the next second.

Finally, the cavalry of the Eastern Xia Army successfully chiseled through the large battalion below the East China Sea Coalition Army and successfully achieved the tactical goal. There is no doubt that this has dealt a heavy blow to the East China Sea coalition forces. This is also very normal, whether it is a human or a beast, it will not be too comfortable to be stabbed hard and directly stabbed with a penetrating injury, and in the same way, you can also put yourself in the shoes of the East China Sea Alliance.

However, it was definitely not only the East China Sea Coalition Army that suffered heavy losses, but also the Eastern Xia cavalry army that launched the charge.

Let's put it this way, if the Dongxia cavalry is compared to a thick popsicle, then the camp of the East China Sea coalition army is like a basin of boiling water. After sloping around in this pot of boiling water and finally escaping, this popsicle has shrunk by at least half of it, and the adjective added in front of it can also be changed from "thick" to "slender".

These guards around Lin Fengjin are all experts in cavalry warfare, and their archery skills are extremely strong. The premise of strong archery skills must be that the eyesight is very good, so the losses of the Eastern Xia cavalry have been reported very accurately:

"Before the charge, it was about 1,600 horsemen, and now there are about 840 horsemen rushing out, but. At least two hundred horses were scrapped, and at most six hundred horses were able to recover. ”

"I noticed that the East China Sea coalition forces behind me all looked like they were attacking people, but the horses were staying. It looks like the East China Sea coalition is short of livestock. ”

"Do they have a time when they don't lack livestock?"

"How many pirates died in the East China Sea this time?

"The East Sea pirates in this camp are about 5,000 people, and the casualties mainly appear in the first half, but at least they are around 2,000 people, and their commander's personal soldiers have played a great role. ”

“”

At this time, the battle between the two sides was also defeated, but to be precise, it was the Eastern Xia Kingdom that suffered a loss, and the other party exchanged more than 2,000 people for nearly 900 cavalry, which was quite a profitable thing, Lin Fengjin was an old man, and under normal circumstances, a battle loss of five to one was acceptable.

That is to say, one cavalry for five infantry, both sides can barely equal, this is not only said to be combat power, because the cavalry has to support mounts, so in fact, in terms of military consumption, the resources consumed to support one cavalry are almost equivalent to the resources of five infantry.

Let's take another very simple example, the East China Sea Coalition Army was bleeding under Wu Zuocheng, with at least 90,000 casualties, and the cavalry under Lin Fengjin only lost more than 4,000 people, even more than 1:20! Of course, this is a bit one-sided, because many casualties in the East China Sea Coalition Army are also caused by the city defense, but Lin Feng can be sure that according to the East China Sea Alliance's contempt for human life, if there is really a way to exchange twenty infantry for one of his own cavalry, the Crow Ghost Ce will definitely redeem it without saying a word!

At this time, since it was found that the reinforcements of the Eastern Xia Kingdom had arrived, the other party's Da Dexin simply united the separated forces together, and then rebuilt the camp, at this time there were more than a thousand cavalry looking around, unless there was also a cavalry to cover, otherwise, withdrawing immediately would only lead the cavalry to chase and harass until it collapsed.

After all, if the infantry wants to fight against the cavalry, there is only one way, and that is to form a formation, but it is obviously difficult for the infantry to do this when running for their lives - of course, difficult definitely does not mean that there is none, but if the infantry under the command of Da Dexin can have such an elite, then why should they flee?

Next, when Da Dexin was tidying up the camp, he lit the wolf smoke, and he could see three straight black smoke rushing straight into the sky, which should be a sign of asking for help, seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin frowned, feeling that the East China Sea Alliance Army had even arranged troops here?

Obviously, after the East China Sea Alliance Army has increased its troops, then the generals of the Eastern Xia army will definitely ask for help, more and more reinforcements, and the scale will become larger and larger.

And for Lin Fengjin, in a battle of 1,000 people, he can still play a big role in leading more than 100 red horsemen, but once it is a melee of 10,000 people, then his role will become minimal! Unless he has the perverted strength of the Wojin God descending, otherwise, the more people there are, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

At this time, since the East China Sea Alliance had begun to retreat into a defensive state, the cavalry outside also began to gallop around the city, and then called open the city gate next to it to let people come out to greet them. Because this is a reinforcement from the imperial court, and the official rank of the commander of this cavalry must be at least a general, so the officials of the county must also go, Lin Fengjin originally didn't want to meet the people in the Eastern Xia army - after all, these people have a certain chance of being their own prisoners.

But if you think about it carefully, since you will definitely have to stay in the same city with this guy for a while in the future, you will probably not be able to hide it, and besides, the adultery between herself and Princess Cui is definitely not given in vain, so she is also mixed in the gentry team.

On the way to the West City Gate, Lin Fengjin was a little excited when he saw the new commander of the Xiang Army, Fang Qiyu, so he asked:

"Lord Fang has made proper arrangements this time, as soon as the reinforcements from the imperial court come, Shangqiang County will inevitably be impregnable, and it will inevitably be promoted soon. ”

Fang Qi said with a smile:

Lin Gongzi laughed, but the general who came to help this time should be surnamed Meng, speaking of which is still my old acquaintance, thinking that I haven't seen him for about 20 years, I feel a little emotional. ”

A cadre of people came to the city gate, is the middle of the road welcome, sure enough, I saw the front of the tooth soldiers to pass on the is: the palace in front of the imperial envoy, the six products of the martial arts captain, General Meng Chengde to help, two rows of tooth soldiers lined up, a cadre of cavalry is a fish into the stream, naturally someone took it to the military camp over there, on the school field, the treatment of the wounded, the rest of the rest. And this General Meng looked quite weak, his face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was heartbroken that more than half of the cavalry under his command had died, or if he had suffered some internal injuries when he was charging into battle.

Then this General Meng was invited to the Zhixian Yamen to talk and eat wine, because the Zhixian Yamen had been burned, so he could only go to the temporary county yamen.

After going to the temporary county office, this General Meng was pushed to the main seat and sitting, he did not shirk, sat down steadily, let people wave their hands and say that they were not busy, as soon as they saw this pie, the old fritters present knew that he must have brought the above order.

Sure enough, after he sat down, he said in a somewhat deep voice:

"I don't know which one is Wang Zhongming?"

Wang Juren suddenly stood up, still very frightened in his heart, don't look at his old fritter has been through turmoil for a long time, and he is also a little frightened at this time - the order to destroy the county and establish himself as the county magistrate, these two crimes are casually confirmed, and they are both big crimes of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
