Chapter 692
Song Wensong took Bingzhou, and the Song family in Longyou were crazy. On the one hand, the Song Wenjie brothers were ready to go south, and on the other hand, they were extremely lobbying to let Cao Weiming send troops to attack the capital.
Cao Weiming had just become king, and he had completely smashed the wealth accumulated by the two rivers over the years to recruit soldiers. In just two months, he recruited more than 50,000 new soldiers. The people in the two rivers only knew the Cao family and the Zhao family, so Cao Weiming, with the power of his family, created an independent kingdom in a short time.
People who are usually depressed and unsuccessful in the Two Rivers now have the opportunity to be promoted, and the morale of the Two Rivers is actually good. After Cao Weiming became the king, his mentality also changed. He was called alone every day and his self-inflation was very strong.
His ambition suffered a major setback in Tongzhou. He immediately transferred another 30,000 troops from his nest. He went crazy and prepared to take Tongzhou.
At this moment, the scout came to report the withdrawal of the troops in Tongzhou. He was surprised and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. Cao Xuanhua said:
"The prince is really a great news. This shows that Jiangnan and Song Wensong are not a solid piece of iron, and there are also cracks between them. The Jiangnannan Prefecture Army is unwilling to destroy all the downfalls in Tongzhou. This just gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. We will make a concerted effort and approach the capital immediately.
When Song Wensong's child showed off his might, now in Hedong and Hexi for thirty years, it's our turn to retaliate! As long as we take down the capital, Song Wensong's child will be homeless. The world is so big that he has no place to live. Let him live in the bitter and cold place of Bingzhou!"
Cao Weiming laughed and said, "Xuanhua is worthy of being a general. Your words are exactly what Gu means. Since that's the case, there is nothing to say. I will send troops to the capital immediately, take down the capital, and Gu rewards the three armies!"
The morale of the Cao Weiming army was originally frustrated, but now it has added tens of thousands of new recruits. In addition, Cao Weiming has promoted everywhere that they destroyed the Tongzhou army. With such a purge, the morale of the tens of thousands of people has recovered by 70% to 80%.
When the army arrived at the capital, you could see the city towers of the capital from afar.
This time, Cao Weiming attacked the capital, prepared dozens of tall catapult cars and dozens of siege cars. Each of these siege cars was more than ten feet high and could float up like a ship on the moat. The soldiers hid in the siege cars and could resist the arrows on the city walls. Such a powerful weapon was amazing.
It turned out that since Cao Weiming became king in the Two Rivers, he thought about it day and night that he wanted to attack the capital. He found several sorcerers to tell fortunes. The sorcerers all said that the capital was a place of dragons and bewitched Cao Weiming from occupying the capital of dragons and thus could go further.
Cao Weiming was called the King of Hejian in the two rivers, which was just a temporary solution. The land of the two rivers could not tolerate the true emperor. Cao Weiming's ambition was more than a King of Hejian. What he wanted to rule the world and rule the people!
So, he thought about how to attack the capital. He is a dreamer and dreams every day how to take the capital. He really came up with some tricks, and now all these tricks are used.
Cao Weiming is a man with great ambitions and talent, but objectively speaking, his military talents are still good. His several battles with Song Wensong were not destroyed, which means that he is not completely a fool.
The capital was in a hurry. Song Wensong had just returned from Bingzhou and left 30,000 troops in Bingzhou. Now there are less than 50,000 people defending the capital. When Song Wensong was shocked in the face of Cao Weiming's attack, he had to jump into his feet and curse. He said:
"This kid Lu Zheng must have done it on purpose! This kid acted like this on purpose to make me fight with Cao Weiming so hard that he could happily sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight in Jiangnan!
Is this Cao Weiming a pig's brain? Is he really willing to fight me to death like this?”
Song Wensong yelled, and the group of strategists under his command were a little panicked, Wu Liewen said:
"Cao Wei Ming Wudao, he recruited soldiers in the two rivers and expanded more than 50,000 troops in just a few months. This style is undoubtedly crazy, but in a short period of time, it is indeed a great improvement in its strength. We miscalculated this!"
Xing Zheng said: "The Third General, Cao Wei was obviously bewitched by the General and the Second General, and was determined to capture the capital, so that the Third General would lose its foundation, and then force you to return to Longyou, or go far away and fly away and go elsewhere.
At this moment, what else can we do besides fighting?"
Song Wensong had a gloomy face and said, "How many horses were transported through the last time through the canal transport south? Report it to me quickly!"
Immediately, a officials from the Ministry of Justice reported, saying, "Report to the third general, we have transported 10,000 horses to Jiangnan! This is the limit for us to transport horses! This is the only way for us to temporarily mobilize a large number of horses from the horse farm in Bingzhou after we occupied Bingzhou."
Song Wensong had a gloomy face. He paced back and forth in the conference hall. After a long time, he clapped his hands and said, "I underestimated Cao Weiming. This old boy is really crazy! I always thought he had not many soldiers, but I didn't expect that he would gather nearly 100,000 troops in a short period of time. It seems that even if there is no Bingzhou incident, this old boy is going to prepare to attack the city! For the current plan, we can't hold on for too long!"
General Ma Shun said: "Three generals, Cao Weiming fought for more than ten days in the battle of Tongzhou. I don't believe he can take down the capital. Liu Song only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. Our soldiers and horses are much stronger than Liu Song now. Could it be that we are still afraid of Cao Weiming?"
"General Ma, Cao Weiming is a man with deep thoughts. When he attacked Tongzhou, he did not show off his skills. In addition, he was not determined to fight to the death at that time!
Now he has mobilized 30,000 new recruits again, and there are still tens of thousands of new recruits that can be transferred to the reserve at any time. You are looking at his equipment, especially the siege cars, which makes our moats and the natural trench of high walls almost useless. We can destroy his cars, and he can build cars when he turns around. We have lost the opportunity in the defense battle in the capital. If we can prepare well in advance and the situation is different, now..." Xing Zheng shook his head and remained pessimistic about the situation.
Ma Shun said, "Jiangnan is unreliable. This kid Liu Song dares to be sloppy and slips faster than loaches. It's so outrageous. Now we are in a passive position, what should we do?"
Song Wensong said lightly: "Transport another 20,000 horses to the south of the Yangtze River! All our cavalry horses were vacated and all were transported to the south of the Yangtze River!"
"Ah..." The audience was shocked, and Ma Shun exclaimed: "Three Generals, this is absolutely not allowed! Once our cavalry has no horses, their combat power will inevitably be greatly weakened. From then on, there will be no...no...the power to defend the enemy!"
Song Wensong said coldly: "Do you need a horse to defend the city? Horses are used to be deserters! Send me the orders. From today on, all the stables will be burned, and my horse will be sent to Jiangnan and Lu Zheng, and tell him that this is my gift to him!"
Song Wensong pulled out the sword on his waist and said, "The capital is broken, we will all die! No one can leave alive! We will all live and die together with the city!"
Then, Song Wensong used a sword to cut off several cases in front of him, and everyone was disgraceful. Qi Yuanzhi said: "The three generals are wise. It is the first priority to defend the capital for the sake of the present plan. We must defeat Cao Weiming! First of all, we must make a big fuss, and in addition, we also need the support of Jiangnan!
If the horse is lost, we can still raise it again, but if the capital is lost, we will lose our proof from then on, and from then on we will become rootless duckweed, and everyone's wealth and life may be ruined!"
Qi Yuanzhi's eyes swept to everyone, paused and said, "The capital is a place that military strategists must fight for. Since we have taken Bingzhou, we have now stabilized the capital and become the number one force in the north! Cao Weiming went against the two rivers. Although he could improve his strength in the short term, he would soon decline, so it would be a victory for us to survive now!"
Everyone knelt down and said, "The three generals are extraordinary in character, and we all accept it! We are all willing to fight to the death!"
Song Wensong let out a long breath, turned around and went out, and in the backyard of the house, he found his stable. His horse was maroon, heroic, known as the Fire Dragon Horse, and a real sweat-blooded BMW. This was a seven-year-old horse. In order to catch the horse, he even ruined a team of scouts, and he was chased by the Turks for two days and two nights.
At that time, he had not broken up with the Song family. After he worked hard to get the horse, he tried his best to protect it in order to prevent others from taking it away. Once, he even locked the horse in the wing room to support it, but he personally did everything related to the horse.
After so many years, he and the "Fire Dragon Horse" can be imagined. He touched the horse's neck with his hand and tears flowed out. The adviser behind him said, "Three Generals, you don't have to send this horse to Jiangnan, right? We have given Lu Zheng too many benefits, so we can't let him take all the advantages, right?"
"If the Third General loses this horse, it will be difficult to find the same horse. For our army, the third general's combat power is weak, which is very likely to weaken everyone's morale!"
Song Wensong shook his head and said, "You don't understand Lu Zheng, nor do you understand me! Since you are just a desperate boat, how can I stay? Song Wensong can have today because of my loyalty to life and death with my brothers, and this is absolutely not to be desecrated.
Also, Lu Zheng is not so touching! He has made great determination to let Liu Song lead tens of thousands of troops over. If he wants to help again and not spend a lot of money, how can he move?"
After Song Wensong finished speaking, he slapped his horse, turned around and left, saying, "Send him away immediately, there should be no delay for a moment, otherwise once Cao Weiming noticed it, we will never have a chance!"
Song Wensong made up his mind to give Lu Zheng another 20,000 war horses. This time he disbanded all the cavalry he left in the capital and sent the war horses to Jiangnan. It has to be said that at the critical moment, he showed his heroic face and dared to suppress all his family's assets.
In the capital, all the soldiers and civilians understood Song Wensong's determination to fight to the end. For a moment, Song Wensong opened the granary and summoned the young and strong men from the people to join the army. In a short time, he summoned nearly 8,000 people into the army. Then he summoned all the wealthy families such as the Su family, Duan family, and let the big families organize the young and strong people in the clan and resist the rebels together.
Cao Weiming once occupied the capital. He was cruel and fierce. He hated Cao Weiming in the capital. Therefore, Song Wensong stood up and fought to the death. The first person to support was the crown prince Long Zhaohuan. Long Zhaohuan took the initiative to stand up and shout for Cao Weiming. For a moment, Cao Weiming got another 5,000 people. In just a few days, Cao Weiming forcibly armed more than 10,000 people in the capital. Now.
In addition, in terms of materials, Song Wensong relied on the unsealed canal transportation, so he asked Gu Zhilun to transport a scattered grain, tung oil, tea, salt and other materials from Jiangnan. He began to stock up in the capital, preparing to stick to it for a long time, and even hesitate to fight in the streets.
I have to say that Song Wensong is a top master. Once he made up his mind, the aura of the whole army was immediately revealed. Although Cao Weiming had the advantage of a chariot, Song Wensong asked the soldiers under him not to use the city as a fortress. When the two sides were indistinguishable, Song Wensong even led a group of troops from the east gate to fight directly, without riding a horse, all of them were infantry.
This team of infantry was wearing heavy armor, known as the suicide squad. Everyone held a spear in their hands. Once they took action, they were brave and fearless. The Yuzhou army, who was originally sieging the city, suddenly encountered an enemy and came from the side. They were caught off guard and could not fight back, with heavy casualties.
In this way, Song Wensong and Cao Weiming strangled each other. The two sides fought fiercely in the Nine Gate. Cao Weiming was fierce at the beginning, but soon realized the terrible terror of Song Wensong being brave and fearless! Although Song Wensong was defending the city, once he fought, he was still crazy to be attacked. Cao Weiming and him were entangled for four or five days, and both sides were in a stalemate and difficult to distinguish. This situation was difficult for both sides!
Cao Weiming urged his generals to attack desperately every day in the central army tent. He was a soldier-minded person and knew that at this moment he had no choice but to fight to the death without a way out.
Therefore, he completely ignored the various dissuasions of the counselors around him, and even caused tens of thousands of young and strong men to come to the capital in the Yuzhou area of the Lianghe River. On the other hand, he compiled books to Longyou and described the details of the possession of the pass. In his hands, he explained the big troubles that Song Wensong encountered clearly, so that Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua brothers immediately mobilized troops to attack Bingzhou.
Song Wenjie made a quick decision and personally led a large army of 100,000 to Longyou, heading straight to the city of Bingzhou. The battle of Bingzhou started again, and Song Wensong was attacked on both sides, and the situation was very dangerous.
