Chapter 693(1/2)
Just when he didn't know what to do, another message came from the east, saying that Wang Jijun set out from Shicheng County and hired many people from the local area to escort a large amount of food and supplies and killed Songming tribe. ~,
This time the recruitment is actually very interesting. The ones who hired relatively poor people are actually a disguised funding.
Of course, Gao Zhisheng behind him was automatically filtered out. He was thinking about Wang Ju's intention. After thinking about it, he felt very distressed. Shicheng was too close to Shanchan Prefecture City. The fatal thing was that he drew 30,000 troops to Huanzhou Village. Nongdong Prefecture would definitely not dare to withdraw the troops from Nongdong Prefecture, and the defensive forces stationed on Xiushan City were also afraid to draw back. If he was pulled, the Song army in the south line would attack Xiushan City. As long as he went northwest of Zhenchi, Shanchan Prefecture would become a real lonely city, and the Gao family would be completely finished.
But he is not useless either.
When fighting here, even if Wang Ju will bring out Duan Zhengming's banner, Renhe's advantage is in the Gao family.
I can only say that having Duan Zhengming is much better than noting.
We can't count on the governance over the past few months. As an outsider, Wang Ju can make the local people hate it, even if it is an amazing miracle.
Therefore, Gao Zhisheng has a huge advantage in intelligence.
So while Wang Ju quickly took down Songming's troops, another piece of news reached Gao Zhisheng. Wang Ju looked like the army was heading west. When he was heading west, he transferred five thousand troops from the rear to chase Duan Zhengming's ten thousand troops, and the five thousand Song troops were all cavalry.
In fact, Wang Ju doesn't have much force in his hands.
In the Warm Water Battle, 50,000 Song Dynasty officers and soldiers went west, and in addition, 10,000 Song troops who supported Yao Lin were transferred from the rear. After the spring, they were accompanied by food, grass and supplies. Another 10,000 officers and soldiers came one after another.
As for the more than 10,000 soldiers recruited by Wang Jucong Wuman and Luodian, Gao Zhisheng was not afraid. Everyone was with each other. If we only talk about the number of troops, would we need to be afraid of the Song army?
What I was afraid of was that these 70,000 Song Dynasty officers and soldiers had been reduced in succession. That is, if Wang Ju's troops were thrown away from Yan Da's subordinates and the 15,000 support officers and soldiers, Gao Zhisheng was only 30,000 Song soldiers, and the remaining ones were the more than 10,000 new soldiers who were just filling in the gaps.
Gao Zhisheng was also trying hard to think that if he fought in the field, his troops in the city were fewer than others, his combat power was worse than others, and his ability to use troops might be worse than others... that was asking for death.
But I have a city.
It is so easy to break through Shanchan City?
Then he thought that the two Song troops in the north could not be underestimated. With 30,000 Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, coupled with Duan Zhengming's appeal, his two families were not united, and maybe 70,000 soldiers under Huanzhou Village would be defeated.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand Wang Ju's intention. First, he asked Yan Da to defend himself, and then provoked the two families to disagree. Then he sent 15,000 officers and soldiers from the rear to help. Duan Zhengming called him to attack inside and outside, and first took down his 30,000 soldiers and horses, turned around, and then dealt with Yang Yizhen's 40,000 soldiers.
Once the 70,000 army was defeated, half of the troops were removed, and they could not fight together. If they were gone, they would either surrender or prepare to flee to the world.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, so he summoned the generals together and expressed his thoughts.
And he mentioned a key reason: Is Shanchan City so easy to attack? But as far as he knows, Yanda's tent did not have much food, and the five thousand Song troops who rushed to assist did not carry much food for speed.
When people say this, their eyes lit up.
A series of commands are issued.
Five thousand soldiers were immediately drawn from the city and went to Luquandian. Luquandian was similar to Ziqi, which was high in the northwest, mountainous in the southeast, and many flat river valley meadows.
Luquandian is the only way for the Song army reinforcements. Therefore, as long as the dangerous places northwest of Luquandian are located immediately, a defense line will be arranged, and five thousand soldiers will be enough to block the Song Dynasty reinforcements from the east. The Huanzhou Village is conducive to defense and also to surround. As long as the two generals take advantage of the advantages of the vast mountains and arrange their troops, Yanda's Song army will be unable to fly. Once the food and grass is consumed, the 5,000 Song army will be defeated without fighting. The two coalition forces turn around and take down the 5,500 Song army. The 30,000 main forces are defeated, and Wang Ju will go back obediently.
Of course, after taking out five thousand soldiers, the city's defense force was a little tight, but can't I defend it for more than ten days? As long as I defended for more than ten days, Yan Da's army would have to eat people.
Five thousand soldiers quickly set out from Shanchan City.
The order was also in the hands of Gao Shengtai. Gao Zhisheng could not order the Yang family's 40,000 troops, so Gao Shengtai had to explain the interests on the front line to that side and let them cooperate.
Gao Shengtai immediately sent someone to notify the Yang family, and the other side gave a quick reply. After a few days of force, the other side suffered heavy losses. If you don’t attack like this, why not wait for his defeat?
Wang Ju also set up a general.
But his intention is not to know the generals and generals, but to facilitate command.
Just like now, more than 30 generals of the chief and deputy generals can almost talk about their next move while having a drink. Otherwise, if it were the former, the chief and deputy commanders would have to be nearly 200 people.
When Wang Ju received the news, he was stuffing a piece of mutton into his mouth.
In ancient times, some old-fashioned scholars were particular about not speaking. Wang Ju followed the local customs and sometimes he did not speak when talking to some scholars and officials who were not close to each other.
But in the army, no one cares.
After receiving the news, Yao Lin said: "If it is as expected by Shaobao."
A military general asked, "Young Guardian, why didn't the Gao family draw back the troops from Nongdong Mansion?"
Most of these military generals were gradually promoted from previous battles in Guangnan West Road.
So I have to thank Yan Da for the practical training overseas. It was that training that allowed some local soldiers to stand out and gradually become middle-level generals in the army.
Of course, at this point, the military generals are considered middle- and high-level leaders or even high-level generals.
However, they have not been recognized by the court, or many ministers think that destroying Jiaozhi is cruel, but not really a fight. Chameng also used indigenous restraints, and 70% were barbarians. Therefore, they did not recognize their military achievements. At least they believed that they could not be worthy of being military generals.
Wang Ju concealed this inside story. Otherwise, it would hit the general's enthusiasm.
This question is good, just like the Yongzhou tragedy. If Su Jian did not destroy his martial arts and had 10,000 officers and soldiers in the city, could Jiaozhi break through the Yongzhou city? The principle is the same now. If Shanchan has sufficient troops in the city, even if he is well prepared, it will be difficult to take it down.
Wang Ju patiently explained: "The Gao family withdrew troops from Nongdong Mansion. Will Yang Yizhen take the opportunity to occupy Nongdong Mansion?"
"This won't happen."
"I'll tell you the story of Guan Yu's defeat and leaving Maicheng." Wang Ju General Guan Yu's death was about to come.
“So proud.”
Mr. Guan Er didn't have the reputation of later, so after listening, many military generals said disdainfully.
Wang Ju also told the origin of the dispute between Sun and Liu families over Jingzhou, and then talked about the direction of the last Three Kingdoms.
"You know this. The Sun and Liu families are very weak, while Cao Wei is very strong. If they are united, they will benefit, and they will harm. If Guan Yu floods the Cao army, Sun Wu will immediately use troops to Jianghuai, and Cao Wei will be in danger. However, in order to recover Jingzhou, Sun Wu led to suspicion of the two alliances and even use troops to each other. In fact, since Guan Yu was defeated and left Maicheng, the two families could no longer defeat Cao Wei. Is this Sun Quan, can Yang Yizhen compete with Sun Quan? Besides, the two families still have a feud. As long as Gao Zhisheng dares to withdraw his troops, Yang Yizhen will never mind taking charge of the Gao family and managing the Dongfu Mansion for the time being."
However, Wang Ju put down the sheep leg in his hand and said, "The picture is revealed, so we set off immediately."
The previous arrangement intentionally made Gao Zhisheng feel illusioned, thinking that he had placed his main battlefield in Huanzhou Village.
If he really uses troops to be good at the city of Chan, Gao Zhisheng is not sure that he will withdraw his troops from Nongdong Mansion just in case.
In this way, I backfired and even forced the army to go north, fighting hard with two 70,000 troops in the miserable terrain of Huanzhou Village.
The three armies immediately drove.
It was getting late at night. However, the generals and commanders of each army looked calmer. They heard many stories about Wang Ju from the mouths of the Song army generals, including Wang Ju's love of night battles.
Isn’t it normal to just marching at night now?
And it is early March, and the weather is neither hot nor hot, and from here to Shanchan City is a flat road, so no one questioned it.
Not only are the weather good, the roads are flat, but they are also very close.
It was dawn, and Gao Zhisheng received the news from his subordinates, saying that the Song army was about to approach the city of Shanchan.
"Has the Song army really come to attack the city?" Gao Zhisheng asked in disbelief.
Does this make no sense?
He could not believe it, and soon a group of Song troops came to the city. He did not attack the city immediately. Some of the troops were waiting for orders to prevent the Gao family army from leaving the city to attack. The remaining officers and soldiers cut down trees together and set up camps. Then countless people carrying food, grass and supplies arrived one after another.
In fact, Gao Zhisheng had another chance at this time, and immediately ordered the subordinates of Nongdong Mansion to retreat, so he still had several chances to turn the tables. Although this group of troops would inevitably be defeated by Wang Ju's encirclement, Yang Yizhen's army was put in. The two armies were restrained, and it became difficult for Wang Ju to break through Shanchan City. On the other hand, the food and grass in Yan Da's hands could only last for more than ten days. As long as Wang Ju attacked for a few days in a row and could not conquer it, he had to go and rescue him.
However, Gao Zhisheng was too superstitious about his Shanchan City.
The three armies were busy, and Wang Juze looked at the tall city in front of him.
Shanchan City is Kunming City. As a city, it has a longer history than Dali City. In addition to the Gao family's continuous renovation over the years, it is no less than many heroic cities in the Song Dynasty. In addition to the city wall, there is also a clear moat.
But Wang Ju brought a lot of good things this time, but he did not attack the city immediately, but ordered the three armies to continue to rest and accumulate their strength, and sent many scouts to investigate Sisan.
The night fell soon, and there were still people shouting and horses in Shanchan City.
Shicheng County is too close to Shanchan City, so since Wang Ju used his troops to Shicheng County, Gao Zhisheng prepared a large number of defensive weapons in the city, which are not very clever defensive weapons, but they are rolling stones and wood. However, they are common weapons to defend the city in this era.
The Song army was resting, and the defenders and the people in the city brought these rolling stones to the top of the city one by one.
There are also bright lights in Gao Mansion.
One general asked, "Why don't they attack the city?"
"Maybe in a break." Another will.
"Can you go out of the city to attack?" Another general asked, since the Song army came so quickly, he must have traveled all night yesterday. Then he set up camp, buried a pot and cooked. He waited for the people behind to bring food, grass and supplies, and unloaded them again, and did not rest until the afternoon. The three armies were tired, so they should be sleeping soundly now.
But at the beginning, the general sarcastically said: "How many troops are there in the city that dare to take the initiative to attack?"
Gao Zhisheng smiled bitterly, it had nothing to do with military strength. The Gao family and the Yang family were better than the Song army. When Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan were guarding Juyang, his troops were pitifully small, and he still went out of the city to attack many times, defeating An Lushan's army.
The main reason is that the combat effectiveness of our own army is not as good as that of the Song army.
So he shook his head, but fortunately he did not agree to go out of the city to attack the camp, otherwise he would die miserably.
Gao Zhisheng said again: "Did the Song army really attack the city?"
After conquering, the Gao family was in danger and the consequences were unimaginable. If it could not be conquered, Yan Da's 15,000 Song troops were just turtles in the jar, so wait to die.
But if Zhen Shan Chan City is so easy to be conquered? If Wang Ju doesn't understand military affairs, he still believes that through some news that he heard, he says that this guy is very good at using troops, so why do you take this step?
After a long discussion, no one could make a judgment.
In fact, they didn't have to think about it anymore, and the answer was soon found.
They slept early and woke up early. At the fourth o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the Song army could not sleep together and got up one after another.
Yao Lin also joked: "The climate here is still normal."
It is not normal for him, because it will not be too hot in summer and not too cold in winter. However, it is normal at the most time.
"Make rice." Wang Ju ordered.
To be continued...
