Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 483 Admit it, the two sides have a truce; deny it, then fight again
But when the news spread that Yang Zhi had led his troops into Hezhou, the Western Army immediately attracted their attention.

Outside the town of Zhegao, in the formation of the Song army, Liu Guangguo said to the generals: "Yang Zhi led the troops to come, which is a serious problem for our army. At present, our troops must retreat to Chao County as the most important thing. However, there are many enemy troops, and Yang Zhijun does not mention it. The Liangshan bandits Newly, Xuzhou soldiers and horses arrived, and there were no less than [-] rebels in Zhegao Town. If they merged with Yang Zhijun, and it is reported that the blue-faced beast still has Liangshan artillery and other siege weapons in the army, our army Even if we retreat to Chao County, we will not be safe. Today we must plan to kill the bandits in front of us for a while, and then turn back."

The general Han Wu shouted: "Dare to ask about the control, and the plan will be released?" Liu Guangguo arranged it like this.Li Qiong and others obeyed all orders.

Speaking of Zhegao Town, because of thinking about Shi Yong's death at the hands of the Western Army, the whereabouts of Kong Liang's rebellious army is also unknown. .He was repeatedly persuaded by Han Tao.The two confronted each other for a while, and then Zhang Zhongxiong from Xuzhou led two thousand garrison troops to help, so the soldiers and horses in the town are also strong.

On this day, news suddenly came from an army sentry, saying that Yang Zhi's army had arrived in Hezhou.Zhu Dian was overjoyed and said: "Since Dudu Yang has arrived, Liu Thief's army will be confused. His army will retreat to defend Chaoxian County, and our army can take advantage of the momentum to attack him!" After all, Liu Guangguo's important task of soldiers and horses is to guard Chaoxian County.

Han Tao shook his head and said, "General Zhu, don't be reckless. Thief Liu has been fighting in the northwest for a long time, and he has a general's mind. Even if he wants to retreat to Chao County, he must be prepared." While talking, another sentry came to report, saying that the town The western troops outside are pulling out their strongholds one after another and heading east.Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that, no matter how hard Zhu Tun could hold back, he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "You two generals, it is obvious that Liu Zei was afraid that Dudu Yang would copy Chao County, so he sent troops back to help. We will wait for the opportunity to hunt down and take Liu thief leader, avenge the brothers who died that day!"

Han Tao still had the old attitude, and he shook his hand and said, "General Zhu can't. Thief Liu is a man who has been killed for a long time, how can he not understand the art of war? There must be an ambush here, so we must guard against it." Sun Tzu said: The Lord can't just because If you are angry and promote the teacher, you will not be able to fight in anger.In Han Tao's eyes, Zhu Ting is a typical example of being angry and motivating teachers, and getting angry and fighting.

Zhu Ting said angrily: "There is deceit today, and there will be deceit tomorrow. I wait for the fight in front of the battle. I only know how to be on guard. If I don't fight, how long will I have to be on guard? Now is a great opportunity, and I should give up my life to kill the thief. Liu Even if the thieves have tricks, isn't it possible that our army can't defeat them with force?" After all, Liu Guangguo's troops are limited.Many people from his ministry stayed in Chao County to guard.Now hastily withdraw cowardly, the army will be discouraged.

Han Tao said: "Liu Guangguo is from a famous family, so don't take it lightly. If this happens, you will be caught in a trick. General Zhu is all about revenge, but he doesn't know how many brothers will die unjustly once he is subdued."

Zhu Dian was very annoyed: "Then I will lead the army. If I fall into a trick, I will pay for my life!" Han Tao was furious, Zhu Dian's words were unreasonable.But before he could answer, Zhang Zhongxiong was already standing between the two of them: "General Zhu speaks seriously." After trying to persuade the two of them, Zhu Dian was still puffed up and muttered to himself.

Zhang Zhongxiong said to Han Tao again: "General Han, this matter is indeed an excellent opportunity. Don't say it's General Zhu, even I am looking forward to a battle, so why don't I do it." Without fighting.How do you know there is a trick?

Among the three, although Han Tao came from a major, he was too timid.

As soon as Zhang Zhongxiong spoke like this, two to one, Zhu Ting immediately regained his spirits.Han Tao was about to speak, but Shi Wenbin gently pulled him and said, "General Han, don't be stubborn anymore. The hearts of the people are like this, don't force it, and don't hurt each other's feelings." This is going to be an unpleasant quarrel, in Shi Wenbin's opinion It's because of a small loss that the big is lost, and I don't know how to adapt it.

Although Zhu Dian suffered a big defeat in Chao County, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Lei Heng have deep roots.It's better not to offend Han Tao.

Han Tao remained silent.

Zhu Dian naturally understood when he saw it, and said with emotion: "We can work together, so why should we be afraid of Liu Thief's tricks! Zhu Dian led the army out of the city and chased Liu Thief!" Han Tao then said: "Since we have decided to fight, we must Have a good plan, arrange for support, and be prepared for everything." The meaning in the inside is self-explanatory.Han Tao had already taken a step back, Zhu Dian naturally wouldn't bully others too much, and hurriedly said, "Naturally."

After that, Zhu Dian led the troops forward first, Zhang Zhongxiong followed closely behind, and Han Tao led the troops to the left and rear.

Zhu Ting chased after him fiercely, and it didn't take long for Han Wu, who was behind Liu Guangguo's army, to run into him.Bows and crossbows exchanged on both sides, spears and shields fought hard, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.Later, Zhang Zhongxiong led the troops to come, and asked people to raise their flags in the left and right wings. The Western Army was shocked when they saw it, and Zhang Zhongxiong led another battalion of elite soldiers to crash into the formation of the Western Army. Festival defeat.

Zhu Dian collided with Han Wu in the chaotic army, and after more than [-] confrontations, he was already faintly at a disadvantage.Tell him to admire the martial arts of this general of the Song Dynasty.

Later, I heard Zhang Zhongxiong's rear army shouting, "There are enemy troops coming from two directions!"

Zhang Zhongxiong, who was called Zhengqian and Zhu Dian to attack Han Wu, was shocked. He fended off Han Wu's spear and drove his horse back to the formation, but he wanted to go to the rear.This is not such a clever strategy, but more about the grasp of the enemy's mentality.Liu Guangguo was sure that it was impossible for Liang Shanjun to watch him swagger back to Chao County.

Although these Liangshan thieves had created a great momentum, they still lacked a little grandeur, and the generals had a bit more quack spirit than the Song army.This is a taboo on the battlefield.

Liu Guangguo was sure that the Liangshan army would come to pursue him, so he only dispersed his left and right soldiers far away. When the time came, when the cannons fired, both left and right soldiers would attack together, and he would naturally win for a while.

Seeing the opportunity, Han Wu swung his gun, and all the military academies, big and small, came to kill him.These people fought desperately, and it was difficult for Zhu Dianjun to withdraw and adjust for a while.

Fortunately, there was Han Tao behind him, and he ordered the swordsmen and crossbowmen to hold down the ground, and he brought a jujube tree spear to lead a group of soldiers and horses to break in.Just look at the ambush of the two teams on the road, attacking and intercepting. The strength of the troops may not be much higher than that of Zhu Dian and Zhang Zhongxiong, but the victory lies in gaining power.

Secretly said: Sure enough.Seeing that our army was being attacked on three sides, we didn't dare to love to fight. We rushed away from the Song army's position and asked the brigade to retreat.Han Wu and Liu Guangguo's troops chased after him bravely, but they were resisted by the team reserved by Han Tao.After two battles, they couldn't get any cheap deals. Seeing that it was getting late, they each withdrew their troops.

When Han Tao and the others led their troops back to Zhegao Town, they saw that they looked like they had been fighting.It turned out that there was a western army disguised as the Liangshan Army, and wanted to attack Zhegao Town. Fortunately, the password was wrong, and their feet were exposed.It was Li Qiong who led the Western Army.

Liu Guangguo also felt disappointed that he failed to severely injure the Liangshan Army in Zhegao Town in one fell swoop. If he led the troops back to Chao County, the world would be turned upside down, and he enjoyed the feeling of the Liangshan Army in Shenxian County that day.

Yang Zhi accompanied the army with ten Liangshan cannons, which had sufficient firepower.After the trumpets sounded, not long after, artillery stones ranging in size from tens to hundreds of catties were aimed at the southeast corner of the city of Chao County, and loud bangs rang out in the corner of the city.

Although Chao County has an important geographical location, it is not a state city. It is conceivable that in the Song Dynasty, it lost its important military status during the Three Kingdoms period hundreds of years ago.The city defense fortifications at the county level, under the concentrated ravages of ten Liangshan cannons, soon collapsed.

After noon, the southeast corner tower completely collapsed, and the nearby battlements were also wiped out. Large pieces of rammed earth smashed down, and the corner of the city began to crumble, and it might collapse at any time.

Three thousand heavy armored infantrymen of the Liangshan Army were waiting here, silently watching stone bullets hitting the city wall.They waited for the quarter of an hour when the walls fell—

The Liangshan Army has grown to its current scale, and the military system is more about hurting people with your own abilities rather than defeating the enemy with strategies.

With the Liangshan Army deeply rooted in the land of Qilu, with the continuous increase in steel production, and with the continuous increase in the output of military weapons, knives, guns, and armor, Lu Qian felt a feeling of "I have soldiers and have soldiers." Guns and money" feeling.

Compared with the current Western Army, Khitan, and Jurchen, Lu Qian feels that he has the capital to fight and consume.

Fighting for 10 people, Liang Shanjun can still recruit a second 10 people in Shandong.What about the Western Army?With the loss of [-] people, their spine was broken.

The same is true for the Liao Kingdom. Without 10 people, the Yelu family can become a thing of the past in a blink of an eye.

Not to mention the Jurchens, they are full of money, and they don't even have 10 people now.

Although this 'injury to others' makes war seem boring, but in the past 100 years, when Zhao Song suppressed the peasant uprising, no one would think that the Song army should play 36 tricks in different ways to put down the rebellion .

When the strength of one side expands to a certain extent, "injuring others with their roots" becomes the norm.

Because there is a truth in this kind of thing: If I hurt others with my own self, what can you do?
On the du table, you only have 100 million in hand, while the opponent has 1000 million, which is directly bigger than you. You can't follow up and get out of the game. Even if your cards are better, because you have no capital to follow, there is nothing you can do. (Gentlemanliness is not reliable here)

In the same way, in the production of enterprises, in the commercial siege of cities and territories, I reduce profits by 10% and directly exchange money for market share. How should other colleagues respond to ensure that the market is not lost?

If, I not only put down 10%, I also put down 20%, 30%, how can you compete?

I would rather suffer some losses first than let you out, so what can you do?

In war, why not?

When Lu Qian defeated the Song army in a row, he played tricks in every battle.But now, with his current strength, his reaction to that battle would be completely different.

Winter is coming to an end, and the number of refugees has exceeded 200 million, which taught him that the 'loss' is not small.But as long as he saw the number of reserve troops that the Ministry of War changed from time to time, Lu Qian would recognize these losses.What's more, with this disaster relief, the approval of the Liangshan army among the common people in the market has reached a new high. More than 200 million lives.That can't be faked.

At least in Hebei and the Central Plains, Lu Qian felt that everything was ripe.

The tense and oppressive atmosphere in the air is pervasive everywhere.Accompanied by the continuous sound of impacts, pieces of broken soil splashed, and the city wall of Chaoxian County was trembling non-stop. Countless small cracks were already covered in it, spreading in all directions like spider webs, and even the inner wall of the city wall had cracks from time to time. Large chunks of broken brick walls fell off from the rammed earth core, and they kept falling with a clatter.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Pao Shi finally crashed into the crumbling city wall.

"Crash~"

Amidst the deafening noise, a section of the city wall at the southeast corner of the city wall collapsed, forming a huge gap with a width of a hundred steps.The scattered gravel tumbled down, amidst the smoke and dust flying in the sky--
"kill!"

One of them held up the long knife in his hand and pulled it forward with all his strength, and the elite heavy armor of Three Thousand Liangshan stood up in an instant. "Kill, kill, kill!" The [-] heavy armored infantry poured in from the gap in front of them like a flood that had broken the embankment, and in an instant they poured into the smoke and dust flying all over the sky.

The city of Chao County was destroyed, and Liu Guangguo led the remnant soldiers back across Ruxushui.Yang Zhi joined Zhu Dian, Han Tao, and Zhang Zhongxiong, and the army rushed to Shen County. The soldiers were extremely fast, and they caught Zhao Mingyi by surprise, and then defeated the Xuanfeng army.If so, the Liangshan army with high morale went straight to the city of Luzhou, and Liu Yanqing withdrew his troops to the south after hearing about it.

The Battle of Luzhou came to an end.

Obviously, the Western Army had no plans to fight a partial decisive battle with the Liangshan Army, nor did the Liangshan Army intend to take Huainan in one fell swoop.The latter even showed its own strength in the war, which cannot be crushed by the Western Army.

In this showdown, which seemed to be a tie between the two armies, the Liangshan Army had invisibly informed the Western Army of its attitude.The latter can only be powerful within the boundaries drawn by the former, and that boundary is the line of control between the two armies at this moment.

Whether you agree or disagree, that is the case.

If you admit it, there will be a truce between the two sides; if you don't admit it, then the fight will continue.But the Western Army obviously didn't have the capital to fight to the death with the Liangshan Army, and their main force had to be in the south of the Yangtze River.
