Chapter Thirty-Three(1/2)
Don’t look at the Battle of Cizhou, Zong Ze led the defenders and two reinforcements outside the city to repel the Golden Dog.
The entire Song Dynasty was very passive in strategy and tactics.
The Jin army could not swallow the huge territory of the Song Dynasty, and repeatedly used one beheading tactic.
Take Bianjing directly.
Thus, the greatest war dividends are obtained.
The strategy of Dasong's response was very strange.
The sounds from the court were nothing more than the ignorant and primitive Jin people, cruel and short-sighted, just for money.
Give them some money and land and you can pass it.
How did you come up with the conclusion?
Your mother, why not just lie down and enjoy it instead of resisting?
Li Jingke is unwilling to do such shameless things. Who will be the one who will be the one who will be in trouble for the rest of your life?
Before King Kang could leave, he began to clean up the whistle and cavalry near Cizhou with Zhong Yanhong.
He didn't know what happened in history, but fifty people were in a group.
Several battalions went out at night, hiding in secret places on all sides of Cizhou.
Wait for the rabbit.
It took only one day to catch more than twenty riders.
As a pioneer, Zhong Yanhong also felt much more relaxed.
If these whistles were not cleared, the army would be targeted by the golden dog as soon as it left Cizhou, which would make the dog go.
But this ease didn't last long.
It was almost forty miles away from Cizhou.
A battalion that was the opening road, he encountered the Golden Dog riding whistle, and was injured by his opponent's archery during the capture.
The Jin army cavalry whistle in groups of five people shot and killed three, and two more ran to beg.
Carrying the body of a golden dog riding a whistle, Zhong Yanhong ran to Li Jing.
"Third brother, what should I do? We are exposed!"
Xingzhou is only 1 hour away from Cizhou, but it is only 200 miles away from later generations.
A marching of five thousand people takes two days.
"It's exposed. There are not many secrets in the world. Besides, Wanyan Zongwang will not change his plan to go south just because of the thousands of us going north to Xingzhou!"
The Jin people are a Ma Shang ethnic group, which is very different from the Song people. Since they came back, the spy said that there were no heavy troops in Xiangzhou.
Li Jing is not afraid.
These herders always fight when they can't beat the enemy, and run away if they can't.
He didn't believe it anymore. The few left-behind golden dogs could suppress the people to guard the city of Xiangzhou.
However, you are not afraid of being afraid of being away.
"Second brother, you will take your three battalions, a group of hundreds of people, and move along the left and right, mainly to clean up scouts. If you meet a large number of Jin troops, you will immediately turn back!"
"You should be careful with your baggage and infantry!"
Of course, Li Jing was careful, and Zhong Yanhong dispersed his troops with the mission.
The first battalion of five hundred cavalrymen where Wu Tan was also dispersed.
They surrounded the five battalions in the middle of Cizhou and one battalion in Chen Renjun, and were alerted around.
After a series of actions of alarming the snake, a scene of chasing the Golden Dog Scout appeared on the plains east of Taihang Mountain.
He chased and rushed to the city of Xingzhou.
By the time Li Jing brought the infantrymen of the fifth camp to the city of Xingzhou, it was already the next night.
Xingzhou City is closed down, and there are sparse figures of Jin soldiers swaying on the city walls.
Li Jing didn't care about them at all. He ordered Chen Renjun and other commanders of various battalions to gather cavalry soldiers.
He followed Zhong Yanhong to investigate Xingzhou's defense.
Like many prefectures in the Song Dynasty, Xingzhou City was all earthen walls. Due to economic strength, the height and thickness of the city walls were far worse than that of Cizhou.
The city wall is intact.
The wooden gate has traces of newly repaired traces.
It was obviously attacked by the Jin army inside and outside.
There were Jin soldiers on the city walls, and there were also people who were kidnapped by Jin soldiers to defend the city.
Put on a torch and raise the stove.
Seeing the boiling water vapor simmering, I don’t know if it’s cooking gold juice.
"Third brother, what a god, these golden dogs who can't beat them on the grassland are really ready to defend the city?"
The house next to Xingzhou was also demolished by Wang Yun, who was so naughty, and he circled around Xingzhou.
Zhong Yanhong was a little overwhelmed.
The reason why Zong Ze asked Li Jing to lead the troops was because he suffered minor casualties in the war.
Creating a cloud ladder to attack is not a tactic that their five thousand soldiers can bear.
"It's okay, it's dark tonight. Let's do it again in the second half of the night!"
"A strong attack?"
"No need. The four city gates in Xingzhou, three of which were made up of thin wooden boards, and there was no moat outside the city, because it was convenient for riding a post to enter and exit, and there was no stone even in the city gate hole! I couldn't withstand the gunpowder explosion at all!"
When Zhong Yanhong heard Li Jing say this, he laughed secretly.
Jin Gou looked at her head and didn't care about her buttocks, and she still imitated the Song army to defend the city. She was full of flaws. What's the point of making a fuss?
"You can choose to break the city gate when the defenders in the city are not focused. Choose two city gates to break through at the same time. You and I will be responsible for the charge! When charging, you must suppress the crossbow arrows, stones and gold juice on the top of the city!"
Zhong Yanhong had the idea of competing with Zong Ze at first.
When it comes to leading troops, who has the family members been convinced?
At first, he hurriedly pulled Li Jing to become sworn, because he fell in love with his ability to make weapons and weapons.
Later, I wanted to show off my skills in the training of soldiers, but when I got to the two battalions of troops, I was really shocked.
Officers at all levels have a whistle on their necks, and different lengths of sounds represent different meanings.
When the whistle blows, the soldiers enforce the orders.
Each time they are trained, they are divided into two groups, competing with each other, and the leader also decides the winner and lose.
In addition to the soldiers, the officers had little ability to form infantry formations, and he could not believe that this was a team that had been in the army for several days. Chen Renjun and others followed Li Jing's training method. The soldiers learned the battle formation very quickly, so fast that it was incredible. Zhong Yanhong even asked for more than a dozen whistles from Li Jing and sent them to his officers, asking them to learn to enforce orders according to Li Jingjun's requirements.
Knowing that his third battalion of troops could not do anything to Chen Renjun, Wu talked about the extent to which the two battalions of troops were prohibited.
The depressed Zhong Yanhong wanted to dig out Li Jing's head and take a look.
So Zhong Yanhong wanted to see if Li Jing would be worse than himself in marching and fighting.
It really arrived in Xingzhou.
It was almost dark, and with the lights coming from the city gate, he quickly found out Xingzhou's weaknesses. He was very sensitive to Li Jing's observation, quick response, and convinced.
Zhong Yanhong even had the urge to bring all three generations of the Zhong family from Bianliang to learn from Li Jing to lead troops to fight.
"Choose three city gates in the east and west and north at the same time to break through, so that Chen Renjun can also command one direction! Tell the soldiers who enter to be careful. Only one hundred people will be sent in each gate and do not rush to attack the city tower. The situation in Xingzhou City is unclear. Let the brothers stand by the houses in the city that can be defended and beware of traps in the city."
After hearing Li Jing's words, Zhong Yanhong nodded in agreement.
No wonder Zong Ze and Huang Can both said that he led his troops to suffer small casualties, so he was so cautious.
Touching the short hair on his head and looking at Li Jing in the night, Zhong Yanhong seemed to see a cloud of fog.
After pulling him to join Jinlan for so many days, he still couldn't see through this third brother.
"I understand, I will arrange it immediately and let the brothers hurry up and rest first!"
Li Jing didn't know that Zhong Yanhong thought he was cautious.
In fact, he still felt that he was a little risky. Normally, he should be relieved for one to two days and find out the specific number of defenders in Xingzhou.
Further understand the enemy situation and be more confident.
He was betting that Wanyan Zongwang would definitely go south and arrive in Bianjing before the Western Route Army.
He was also betting that the Jin Dynasty Eastern Army led by Wanyan Zongwang had sent troops to Enzhou.
The Jin army is unwilling to defend the city, so how can it be a bandit if you defend the city?
The vast mountainous areas and fields are far less prosperous than the towns.
