Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Of course, more people were clamoring to capture Shi Wengong alive to avenge Chao Gai.

"Kill Shi Wengong!"

"Catch Shi Wengong alive!"

Such slogans were shouted so loudly that even Shi Wengong and Su Ding, who had already retreated to the ZhongDaying, could hear them.

Su Ding asked very strangely: "Brother Shi, who did you shoot to death just now? Could it be that Chao Gai was shot to death by you for causing Liangshan people to hate you so much?"

Shi Wengong smiled mysteriously, and said: "Anyone who offends me in Zengtou City deserves to die, it doesn't matter if it's Chao Gai or not."

What he said was not bragging. If Liangshan Zhongjun hadn't arranged shieldmen in time, he would really have shot a few more leaders of Liangshan to death.

Su Ding couldn't find an answer, so he stopped talking about this matter and said instead: "I never thought Liangshan's soldiers and horses would have developed into such a state. There must be one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers in all four directions, right? Let's Is it really possible to win with street fighting?"

Shi Wengong smiled lightly and said, "It's just a mob, nothing to worry about."

At this time, Zeng Nong's order had already been issued, and the soldiers of Zengtou City in the three big camps in the east, west, and north had withdrawn to the ZhongDa Camp, leaving Liangshan with empty villages on all sides.

Over there, Song Jiang was trying his best to think about how to get his men to catch Shi Wengong. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way. When he was worried, the five tiger generals from the east, west, north, and north all sent messengers, saying that the camps they attacked were all gone. Take it down.

"Continue to fight in!" Song Jiang replied, "They hid in Zengtou City, and we will enter Zengtou City to fight. Even if they go to heaven and earth, we will kill every single one of them. Tell your generals , let them lead people to rush in"

The soldiers were ordered to go back, and not long after, the remaining three waves of Liangshan Army sounded the drums of attack, and the soldiers of all ministries rushed to the Zhongda Camp in Zengtou City like a tide.

Chapter 894 Massacre

Now that they knew that it was Shi Wengong who was shooting arrows, all the leaders of Liangshan became alarmed. Including Song Jiang, they all held shields in front of them and walked into the South Camp under the guard of soldiers. People didn't have to look forward anymore, it was pitch black anyway. Even in the dark night, the situation of Zhong Daying in Zengtou City could not be seen.

There are five large camps in Zengtou City. At this time, the four large camps in the east, west, north, and south have been captured by Liangshan soldiers, and the Zhongda Camp is actually in Zengtou City. It can be considered that the Zhongda Camp is Zengtou City. Zengtou City is ZhongDaYing.

On Song Jiang's side, Guan Sheng, one of the five tiger generals, was ordered to lead 1 troops into ZhongDaying. On the other three sides, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Dong Ping, each of the five tiger generals led [-] soldiers and horses into Zengtou City. Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses plus the [-] armored serial horses that entered first were enough to level Zengtou City.

Although I couldn't see the scene in Zengtou City, I could hear the sound, which was the converging sound waves of countless screams and curses, not to mention the soldiers of Liangshan who had just entered the South Camp, even in the fields farther away. .

Song Jiang was very relieved when he heard the sound. There is no doubt that the [-] Liangshan soldiers who invaded Zengtou City first were reaping the lives of the enemy. will end.

So he said to Su Taiwei who was beside him: "Don't worry, Taiwei, we have already won this battle." Speaking of this, as if to make Su Yuanjing feel more at ease, he looked around at the leaders on the left and right and asked: "What do you guys think?"

After all, Song Jiang was born as a civilian official. Even though he got the three volumes of heavenly scriptures bestowed by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, he has no experience in leading soldiers and fighting. Wu Yong was not around, and Chao Gai was dead, so he showed his original shape.

He wanted the generals under him to prove his judgment, but there was a silence after waiting, as if no one thought his judgment was correct.

That's right, the sound of killing in Zengtou City was indeed loud, but the sound alone could not prove that Liang Shan had won the victory.

Guan Sheng, who also heard the sound, had a different idea from Song Jiang. He felt that there were monsters in the ruins, why there were only screams and cursing on the battlefield, but there was no metal and iron clashing between weapons?Could it be that the soldiers in Zengtou City have already thrown down their weapons and let Liangshan soldiers and horses slaughter them?

If he was really being slaughtered by others, how could he curse out in grief and anger?

Guan Sheng's battlefield experience is far richer than Song Jiang's, so he feels that this situation is very abnormal.

Guan Sheng is not the only one. All other leaders on Liangshan, as long as they have led soldiers and fought in battles, have sensed the abnormality in Zengtou City. But not all of them are from the city, Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced gentleman, said: "I don't hear right, why do I hear these screaming and cursing people, they all look like our brothers on the mountain?"

If Zheng Tianshou didn't say this, that's all. Once he said it, it aroused the sympathy of the other leaders. He was not the only one who heard this situation. Others were also suspicious, but they didn't dare to say it, for fear of being accused of demoralizing themselves. .

At this time, when Zheng Tianshou said this, others didn't care. Zheng Tianshou said this first if he said that his morale had fallen. They all gave their names.

Song Jiang was very embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "No way, did you hear it wrong?"

On weekdays, he only stays in the Juyi hall, and he and Wu Yong spend a lot of time camping together. They don't participate in the training and exercises of the army on the mountain, so it is he, Hu Baoyi, who is most unfamiliar with the people below.

Song Jiang questioned that the leaders got it wrong, and the leaders didn't argue with him. After all, he is now the boss of Liangshan. How can the boss's face be easily refuted?

The more people were like this, the more Song Jiang felt that what Zheng Tianshou said was very possible. When he was about to send a few soldiers to investigate, he only heard the sound of horseshoes. When he looked up, it was Hu Yanzhuo who had returned.

Hu Yanzhuo's horse was very fast, and when everyone saw him, he was already in front of them, and he didn't catch his breath after getting off the horse, but said in a panic: "Brother Gongming, something is wrong, my chain horse is broken inside, The soldiers we rushed in are being massacred, you should quickly order the soldiers to withdraw, or later, I am afraid that none of the [-] soldiers will come back."

"Ah?" Song Jiang only felt his head buzzing, his body swayed twice, and he almost fell over. Fortunately, the dwarf tiger Wang Ying beside him helped him stabilize his figure, and said in a trembling voice: "General Huyan , What is going on here, let me explain quickly."

Hu Yanzhuo let out a long sigh, and when he said something, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

Although Zengtou City has no city walls, it has houses and courtyards. These houses and courtyards are precisely the existence that makes the armored chain horse helpless.

Whether it's the armored serial horses of the Song Dynasty, the iron kites of Xixia, or even the iron pagodas of the Kingdom of Jin, these armored cavalry are all in the same pattern - side by side and charge forward together.

On the battlefield of cold weapons, the charge of armored and heavy cavalry is no different from the tanks of later generations, and it is even more powerful than tanks, because they crush a dozen horses in a row, and the area they crush Much wider than a tank.

Therefore, armored cavalry can crush all infantry camps unscrupulously.

It's just that everything has pros and cons, and armored cavalry also has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs a sufficiently open space. In the wilderness, no matter how many infantry the opponent has, iron armored cavalry can crush back and forth, but this is not the case in towns No, there is no room for heavy cavalry to gallop in the town.

The town streets of this era are so narrow that they cannot be compared with the urban roads of later generations. Not to mention the construction of sixteen-lane roads, even two-lane roads are unnecessary.

In such a narrow street, how does the serial horse perform?Can't use it at all, crushing courtyard walls and houses?It’s okay to talk about wooden houses like those in the south of the Yangtze River, but the houses in Zengtou City are all adobe houses, which are masterpieces of the ramming technology of the northern peoples. Although the collision area of ​​the chain horse is large, it cannot hit the adobe walls and adobe walls.

The loss of the serial horse's effectiveness is the second thing. The most terrible thing is that the houses in Zengtou City seem to be specially designed. Holes are reserved on the outer walls of the houses and the courtyard walls. Spears, arrows or hidden weapons, in short, after Liangshan soldiers entered Zengtou City, they were killed without even seeing a single enemy.

This is the reason why people outside can't hear the clanging of gold and iron. The fact is that there is no clanging of metal and iron at all. The spear pierced through the hole and directly penetrated into the body of the soldiers of Liangshan. How could there be clanging of metal and iron? ?

Chapter 895 Counterattack

The houses in Zengtou City were deliberately created in this way under the design of Zeng Nong. The combination of houses and courtyards in Zengtou City is a battle fortress.In the street fighting tonight, this battle fortress exerted unimaginable power, forming a one-sided massacre of Liangshan soldiers who broke into the town.

Zeng Nong designed such a battle fortress, is it for Liangshan soldiers?Of course not, his battle fortress was prepared for the Song Dynasty official army.

Ever since Zengtou City raised a large-scale armed forces, Zeng Nong had to be prepared for such a day would come sooner or later.

Although his relationship with the neighboring government has always been very good, he is very clear about one truth, that is, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Zengtou City has such a powerful armed force. Will be known by the court, which emperor would tolerate such a strong armed presence within his borders?

The reason why forces such as Wang Qing, Fang La, and Tian Hu are still at ease is not because the Song Dynasty connives them, but because they have been favored by the Xixia people. The strategy of the Xixia people is to take advantage of your Song Dynasty The opportunity of "to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside" is to seize your country, so Zhao Ji temporarily ignored the peace inside, and chose to directly fight against the outside world.

Zeng Nong once believed that once the Song-Xia War ended, it would be time for the armed forces in these places to be wiped out.

Facts have proved Zeng Nong's judgment. He just didn't expect that after the end of the Song-Xia War, the Song court's first conquest would be Liangshan.Who would have thought that Chao Gai and others were so poor and crazy that they would even dare to rob the birth date?

Different from forces like Wang Qing, Fang La, Tian Hu, and even Chao Gai Songjiang, these forces have a way out in the end, which is to recruit security, but Zengtou City does not have it. Zengtou City has worked so hard for so many years to serve the Kingdom of Jin Yes, how could it be possible to make a wedding dress for Da Song and let Da Song pick up such a cheap freshman for nothing?

Especially in recent years, Wanyan Zongwang has repeatedly instructed him to clarify his strategic intention to capture the Song Dynasty in the future. Zengtou City, as the advance team of the Kingdom of Jin, must prepare carefully. , Zengtou City has become a ruin and scorched earth, which will live up to the expectations of Aguda and his son for Zengtou City.

So he built this war fortress to prevent the situation where the enemy is several times larger than himself. Once this happens, he can not hold on and wait for the people to come to help. Counting the food and grass prepared for the coming Jin army, the original food reserves were enough for [-] soldiers and civilians to survive for half a year.

No one expected that Zeng Nong's defense system, which was so meticulously built, was bumped into by Liangshan people. In the dark night, all the well-trained soldiers of Zengtou City were hidden in the house courtyard, while Liangshan's troops were exposed. On the street, the result is naturally a one-sided massacre.

Song Jiang was shocked when he got the news. He didn't know how to deal with it. He rubbed his hands and muttered, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Guan Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, and said loudly, "What else can I do? Order the troops to withdraw? Hurry up and withdraw the people inside, and continue to maintain the siege situation. Everything will be discussed after tomorrow's dawn."

Guan Sheng is not the boss, so although the method he said was the best response at this time, the messengers under him did not respond.The messengers only listen to the boss, and the current boss is Song Jiang.
