Fang La revolted in Xu and Yangzhou, threatening to overthrow the Northern Song Dynasty, and the banner was to seek welfare for the people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, although Fang La's move was extremely effective, it was also the most likely to provoke a violent counterattack from the Northern Song Dynasty.

In short, when Zhao Ji was assassinated, the imperial court's control over the local area was already extremely weak, and with the Fang La uprising, the imperial court's attention must have been attracted.

In a word, this is the best time to start an incident!

Thinking of this, Lin Ran's eyes flashed, and he did not hesitate to issue a series of orders.

......

In the middle of the march, Lin Ran looked back and forth and smiled indifferently.

In Dulonggang, Lin Ran only left Su Quan, Ren Yingying, and Zhang Qing, as well as 2,500 bandits and 5,500 private soldiers.

With Su Quan and Ren Yingying staying behind, Lin Ran is naturally very relieved that Dulonggang is stable, and the future is stable, and what he considers is naturally the way forward.

In this campaign against Qingzhou, Lin Ran commanded a total of 30,000 troops, including 2,000 bandits, 8,000 Lijiazhuang private soldiers, 10,000 Hujiazhuang private soldiers, and 10,000 Zhujiazhuang private soldiers.

There are eight military generals, Xiaolongnu and Li Shishi who are always following him, and the Water Margin World has subdued the military generals, Yang Zhi, Li Ying, Du Xing, Hu Sanniang, Hu Cheng, and the last one who is not loyal, but needs to rush to Lu Junyi for Lin Ran.

Gossip aside, just say that at this time, the 30,000 army, since it is impossible to hide its whereabouts, naturally slaughters to Jinan Mansion, the seat of Qizhou.

Speaking of which, it is natural to talk about the current trend.

At this time, it was still a period of peace, although there were local troops stationed in various parts of the Northern Song Dynasty, but at present, these small county towns have been rummaged through hundreds of township soldiers and officials who manage public security.

In a word, the 30,000-strong army arrived, and everything along the way was invincible.

Regardless of the township or county seat, they all fled in despair, but those who dared to obstruct were all crushed to pieces under the rush of Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi, Li Ying and other fierce generals.

Liangshan is about 300 miles away from Jinan Mansion, all the way to the crushing attack, less than four days has been in Jinan Mansion.

Although Jinan Mansion belongs to the Qizhou Prefecture, but the troops in the city are stretched, when they heard that the 30,000 army was pressing the border, they hurriedly dispatched from the county under their command, and only barely made up the number of 10,000 people.

Fortunately, Qizhou is only more than 400 miles away from the garrison of the Tai'an Army in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the city of Jinan Futou.

Staring at the dense human heads in the distance, the prefect Xie trembled slightly, obviously with fear in his heart.

However, in the next moment, seeing the nearly 10,000 garrison army in Jinan City, as well as the thick city walls and vast moat, Lord Xie's heart quickly stabilized. "I don't believe that the high walls of Jinan City will not survive for three days, and when the time comes, I will definitely let you wait for the thieves to come and go!"

What the people in the city were thinking, Lin Ran naturally didn't know, this would, he was arranging pre-war matters in an orderly manner.

Siege warfare is simple, but it is only limited to the small city wall and low county, if you want to capture a big city like Jinan City in front of you, if you don't need to calculate and deceive, the only way is to fill it with your life.

To attack a city, you not only need to build siege ladders, rushing cars, well railings and other siege equipment, but also need to face countless enemy obstacles to defend the city, such as moats, city walls, urn cities, arrow towers, rolling oil and falling rocks...... And so on and so forth.

,: Attack the army on the plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city below.

Siege is the next strategy, it is the most undesirable way!

However, Lin Ran knew that it would be unwise to do so, so why did he choose to fight a tough battle?

That's right, this battle is about signboards, and it's about fame!

As long as he wins this time, Lin Ran can quickly make a resounding reputation in the world, attracting more generals, civil officials, and soldiers to come and serve.

As the saying goes, a bright signboard is nothing more than that!

Of course, although Lin Ran wants to be upright, he will not be stupid and not use the army he has just obtained to gnaw the hard bone of Jinan City.

At this time, although the 30,000 army was eyeing the city, Lin Ran had no intention of attacking the city at all, and sent hundreds of loud people to stand not far from the city gate and scold.

"Turtle in the city~ son, it looks like a turtle with a shrunken head, it's better to let the girls in the family out!"

"Pewter spear head, there is a kind of fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds, whoever doesn't come out is a grandson!"

"The grandson in official uniform on the city wall, you are the fart released by Lao Tzu!"

These people are all carefully selected by Lin Ran, and the cursing words in their mouths are naturally dirty and dirty, and they are not the same.

Scolding wars have existed since ancient times, especially the kind of short-tempered ones, who can't stand the stimulation at all, and rush down the city wall as soon as their brains are hot!

However, this time, Lord Xie, the prefect who was guarding the city, although his old face was red when he was scolded, he was stunned and did not move at all, and he held down the general who was about to blow up, and turned to drink and order the officials and soldiers to scold back.

10,000 to 30,000, the prefect of Jinan has no bottom in his heart, and wants to rely on the city wall for three days, how dare he give up the city wall with a sense of security, and run outside the city to ask for trouble.

"Don't seek merit but seek no fault, this approach is safe!" Lin Ran nodded secretly, admiring this Governor Xie.

Time, just in the scolding battle between the two sides, in the blink of an eye, it was already night, Lin Ran's 30,000 army after a small half a day of repair, and the fatigue of the march was restored.

The Great Tent of the Barracks

Lin Ran sat in the first place, and Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi, and Li Yingyi were divided into two columns, waiting for the order with solemn expressions.

Looking around at the generals in the account coldly, Lin Ran pulled out two arrows with a big move. "Duchenne, where is Hu Cheng!"

"The end will be!" Du Xing and Hu Cheng took half a step forward in front of their heavy armor and clenched their fists at Lin Ran.

"Ling Er and the others each led 3,000 partial troops to feint to attack the east and west gates of Jinan City!" Lin Ran had a solemn face, and handed the arrow forward in his hand.

"No!"

Du Xing and Hu Cheng agreed violently, and each took the order and quickly went out of the account to prepare for the troops.

Without a moment, Lin Ran's eyes were lowered again. "Where is Yang Zhi?"

"The last general will listen to the order!" Yang Zhi suddenly stepped forward and clenched his fists.

"Order you to lead an army of 10,000 to detour to the north gate, and when you get the signal for the general attack, you will storm the north gate of Jinan regardless of the gains and losses!" Lin Ran waved his hand and handed over the arrow to Yang Zhi.

"The last general will serve his life!" As soon as he shouted, Yang Zhi took the arrow with both hands, and without hesitation, he dodged out of the tent and went to prepare for the siege.

Seeing Yang Zhi out of the account, Lin Ran quickly retracted his gaze. "Wait for the troops and horses, and when the time is ripe, I will attack Jinan City!"

"No!"

Lu Junyi, Li Ying, Hu Sanniang, and Xiaolongnu stepped forward together, and with Lin Ran holding their fists and receiving orders, they each went down to reorganize their armies.

Left one after another, and the originally lively tent was empty in an instant, leaving only Lin Ran and Master Li.

Master Li was a little depressed. "Am I too useless......

chuckling slightly, Lin Ran stroked Master Li's head. "I've told you several times, your battlefield is not here!"

Thinking that Lin Ran was bluffing her, Master Li smiled bitterly. "Then you go and prepare for the siege, I'm here waiting for you to return triumphantly!"
