Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Okay! I'll give you another chance!"

Wang Qian went to Songying again.

He asked Wu Lin: "The general said he was going to retreat, why did he attack our army again?"

Yan Pei said at the side: "Aren't you guys ready for one hundred thousand guan?"

"If we hand over one hundred thousand guan, will your excellency retreat immediately?"

"As long as you hand over one hundred thousand guan, we will retreat immediately."

"it is good!"

Wang Qian went back again.

At this time, the defense of the [-] imperial guards in Shenglong City was already in place.

But Qin Wangling has not issued yet.

After listening to Wang Qian's report, Li Yanghuan said impatiently, "When can I hand over the [-] guan?"

"The day after tomorrow!"

"Okay, give it to Song Jun the day after tomorrow! If Song Jun doesn't retreat, I'll cut off your head!"

"Yes Yes!"

On the night of Wang Qian's return, Song Jun had already started to act.

After annihilating the Forbidden Army on the north bank of the Red River, Wu Lin decisively ordered to start crossing the river, and the war to siege Thang Long City officially began.

Wu Lin first selected a group of people who were familiar with the water, and took advantage of the night to cross the river in small boats.

In the first half of the night on the ninth day of April, three thousand Song army vanguard troops successfully crossed the river and entered the south bank of the Red River.

Then the large army began to keep up.

In the morning, when it was just dawn, the forbidden army of the Jiaozhi Kingdom stationed on the south bank of the Red River discovered the whereabouts of the Song Army and began to attack the Song Army who had just crossed the river.

After a morning of fighting, the first batch of Song troops crossing the river held their positions on the river bank, providing conditions for the subsequent large troops to cross the river.

At noon on the ninth day of the ninth day, news of Song Jun crossing the river reached Li Yanghuan, and he knew that he had been played around by Song Jun these days.

At this time, Wang Qian's [-] guns were also ready.

The time for Wang Qian's death also arrived. In the afternoon, Wang Qian's head was hung on the top of the city.

It is obviously too late to issue the King Qin Order at this time.

Song Jun only did two things these days:

One is to quickly attack the Jiaozhi Forbidden Army on the north bank of the Red River, and the other is to quickly build ferries and ships in hidden places.

By the morning of the tenth day of April, tens of thousands of Song troops had crossed the Red River.

The Red River Sky Moat became a joke.

In fact, the Red River Plain is a treasure land in the southwest.

In ancient times, it was more suitable for the development of agriculture than the mountainous Guangdong and Guangxi.

The terrain here is open, there are many fertile fields, and the rain and sunshine are abundant, which can achieve three crops a year, and Champa rice is popularized.

The output of each mu of field can crush the fields in the Yangtze River Basin, let alone the poor Hebei region.

Moreover, the water network is dense, so there is no need to worry about irrigating crops at all, and the Red River runs through and flows into the sea, so it is possible to build a seaport and realize sea transportation.

On the morning of the tenth day of April, envoys from the Jiaozhi Kingdom arrived at Song Ying again.

This time, Jiaozhi planned to use his plan to give [-] guan, delaying time, waiting for the arrival of King Qin's army and the cooperation of the Jin army inside and outside the city.

However, at noon, the head of the Jiaozhi envoy was thrown outside the city gate.

Wu Lin mobilized the three armed forces before the war. He said in words that ordinary soldiers could understand:

"The small country of Cochin is cruel and immoral. In the past, it slaughtered 30 people in our Great Song Dynasty. Now it is colluding with Champa to detain the people of our Great Song Dynasty, and selling people on Guangnan West Road. Its crimes are heinous. Humans and gods are angry. Lords, join me in killing the enemy! After the chaos is settled, there will be great rewards!"

Song Jun immediately shouted: "Accept the order of heaven, crusade Wudao! Obey the order of heaven, crusade Wudao!"

The sound shook the sky, and the surrounding fields boiled.

The people in Thang Long City were all terrified.

At this time, Li Yanghuan jumped up and down in anger when he learned that Song's army had all crossed the Red River.

Liu Tanqing said: "Your Majesty! Quickly tell the people the truth and mobilize the whole people to fight!"

"I was confused for a moment! You hurry up and mobilize the people!"

"Yes!"

But how could Song Jun give them a chance to breathe?

That afternoon, before the attack on the city, Wu Lin sent someone to shout outside the city: "My Great Song Dynasty king's army came here only to fight against the innocent thief Li Yanghuan. If the rest of the people have nothing to do with each other, they will be spared death!"

It's good if you don't shout this, but when you shout, there are countless peacemakers in the city.

Obviously it's just shouting, and it can't put pressure on the lord and the faction. It has to be siege.

In the afternoon, the Song army first launched a wave of crossbow arrow attacks against the city wall, killing hundreds of Jiaojun soldiers at the top of the city, and their bodies were piled up on the ground.

If it wasn't for the Jiaozhi Forbidden Army's preparation in advance, the Song Army would probably be able to climb to the top of the city this afternoon.

But after all, there are many new recruits in the Song army, and it is impossible to capture the well-prepared Shenglong City so quickly.

Wu Lin, who had rich combat experience, immediately ordered the army to start besieging the city.

This time, instead of besieging the city on three sides, the city was besieged on all sides, and the siege was tight, and they took turns shouting, beating drums, and blowing trumpets.

As for the envoys sent by Jiaozhi, they will all be killed without mercy.

In this way, the soldiers and civilians in Shenglong City were tortured for several days amidst the mighty Song army.

These days, many people can barely close their eyes.

That kind of spiritual devastation is fermenting in the city.

On April [-]th, Zhang Boyu organized an elite forbidden army. With Li Yanghuan's consent, he planned to go out of the city late at night to attack the Song army's barracks.

Chapter 573 Entering the city, the end of Cochin! (third change)

Cochin monarchs and ministers actually made many mistakes.

Later, when some civil officials in the Song Dynasty summarized the battle to recover Jiaozhi, they expressed contempt for the behavior of the Jiaozhi monarch and ministers.

this is not right.

The authorities are confused, they are in the situation, it is difficult to see clearly the fog in front of them.

Just like many people read a book and feel that the person in the book is too stupid to even think of this, but in reality, if he wants to resign, the boss only needs to tell him to give him a raise, and he will stay.

However, the boss may just want to stabilize him and find a replacement.

In other words, when an individual buys stocks, he always regrets his judgment after the end of the afternoon.

And often say "I'll just say it" and so on.

Such people are actually very arrogant, and if they are placed in the position of cochin emperors and ministers, their performance may be even worse.

In Cai Mao's words: affairs themselves are complicated, and individuals are very small, especially when faced with more complex and unknown situations, people lack effective standards to measure the correctness of decision-making.

Therefore, a truly smart person is one who is in awe of the rules of the world.

The rules of world operation here are actually very similar to the Tao in Taoism.

This way of thinking exists in both Chinese and European civilizations.

In China it is called Taoism, in Europe it is called Liberal Conservatism.

On the night of April [-]th, the decision-making of the king and ministers of the Cochin Kingdom was already following the established track.

But they were obviously too hasty and didn't understand what kind of person their opponent was.

Wu Lin's resume is very impressive. He has fought against both the cunning Xixia people and the powerful Jin people.

What kind of psychological warfare, differentiation, camp raids, siege and reinforcements, large-scale field battles, which one is he not aware of?

And the strength of this person is far more than that.

The famous "stacking method" in history was created by Wu Lin.

This kind of general can constructively propose new concepts according to the difference in military strength, terrain, and situation.

Raid the camp?

It's not that the king and ministers of Cochin are not smart, but the opponent is too tough.

That night, the Jiao army quietly left the city, and when they approached the Song army's barracks, they found that the tents of the main army's barracks were empty, so they realized that they had been cheated.

The Song army then rushed out, and the army was in chaos. After being blocked from retreating, they suffered heavy casualties.

"Sure enough, as Wu Shuai expected, the Cochin Army will attack the camp." Yan Pei said, looking at the flames in front of him.

The front part of the commander's battalion has been empty these days, but the Song Army will still light the fire there at night, and there will be a small number of soldiers on duty.

After a few days in this Longmen formation, the Cochin Army couldn't stand it any longer.

The Jiao army was defeated, but it was impossible to see clearly at night.

Early the next morning, Li Yanghuan, who hadn't slept all night, learned that the attack on the camp had failed and he had sent thousands of people out for nothing. He burst into tears on the spot.

In the early morning of the [-]th, that is, the second morning of the attack on the camp, when Li Yanghuan was crying, the Song army escorted the prisoners outside the city.

The captives knelt in rows, where they were beheaded one by one.

And the people who execute it are basically recruits.

Some recruits didn't dare at first, but after killing a few, they became numb.

Human heads rolled to the ground one after another, and headless corpses crawled on the ground, and some soldiers even slashed and rolled over with knives.

This scene made the Jiaojun on the top of the city tremble with fear.

"Report! Wu Shuai, all of them have been executed."

Wu Lin nodded lightly while eating the rice.

For someone like him who participated in the Great Battle of Chang'an, such a small death is really not worth mentioning.

At this time, the people in Shenglong City have all taken action.

Mobilized by the Jiaozhi court, the people in the city, especially the young scholars, took to the streets and shouted loudly: "The Song army wants to destroy our country, and we must resist to the death!"

"Resist to the death! Kill Song Dog!"

"Kill Song Dog!"

The city suddenly became lively.

On the night of April [-]th, Wu Lin was reviewing military equipment.

Some trebuchets of the Song Army have been built, and goose carts and ladders are also being built.

Once the morale in the city slumps, he plans to attack one side of the city.

The height of Shenglong City is only four meters. As long as the equipment is in place, it can be taken by force.

"Wu Shuai, there is a man who claims to be Wang Jun, the son of Wang Qian, the former Minister of Rites, and wants to see you."

Wu Lin returned to the tent.

Wang Jun stood in front of him.

"The grassroots see the commander in chief!"

"How did you get out?"

"The grass-roots bribed the tower guards."

"The tower is so heavily guarded, can you bribe it?"

Wang Jun said: "To tell the truth, Commander, many people in the city now want to seek refuge with the imperial court."

"Which court are you talking about?"

"Naturally it is the Celestial Dynasty!"

"How can I make Ben Shuai believe your words?"
