Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1584 Sweeping Liangshan

Chapter 1582: Sweeping Liangshan

Song Jiang still had great trust in Wu Yong's ability as a military adviser. After all, if Wu Yong hadn't been able to plan for him, Liangshan might have been occupied by Yuan Shao long ago even if it hadn't been annexed by Huang Chao.

Therefore, seeing that Wu Yong didn't say anything, Song Jiang didn't care too much, and only regarded Wu Yong as habitually cautious.

"Military officer, you are too worried. Regardless of Li Jing not doing anything yet, so what if he really came? With the beacon tower and the three big villages, can Li Jing still fly over?"

Song Jiang said with a smile, with a look of indifference.

Since the establishment of the Northern Han Dynasty, although Song Jiang was named the King of Liang, the position of King Liang was not easy to sit on. He was needed to block Li Jing from Beihai to prevent the Qin army from Beihai from intervening in the decisive battle in Hebei.

Song Jiang and Li Jing fought side by side, so he naturally knew how powerful Li Jing was, and he also knew that if the Qin army really came to attack, the words of the Liangshan army alone would not be able to stop the Qin army.

Therefore, Song Jiang was very wary of Li Jing, and under the advice of military adviser Wu Yong, he took many preventive measures in advance.

Song Jiang set up dozens of beacon towers at the junction of the North Sea and the main roads. Once the Qin army sent troops to attack, the front-line beacon towers would immediately warn the Liangshan army so that the Liangshan army would not be attacked by the Qin army.

In addition, Song Jiang also set up three large camps on the necessary places. Although it is impossible to stop the Qin army, it will at least play a certain role in hindering Song Jiang, so that Song Jiang will not even have a chance to react.

In addition, there are eight hundred miles around Liangshan, with thousands of harbours, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was with these triple insurances that Song Jiang had the confidence to contend against Li Jing. If he was really pushed into a hurry, he would have to abandon all the surrounding counties and bring all the troops back to Liangshan to defend against danger.

Can he, Li Jing, break Liangshan?
Wu Yong also nodded after listening to Song Jiang's words. In his opinion, Liang Guo's defense arrangement is not a problem. No matter how powerful Li Jing is, it is absolutely impossible to even break Liangshan's and triple insurance within half a month, right?

What Song Jiang and Wu Yong didn't know was that the triple insurance in their eyes was only useful for the third one, and the one or two that had been exposed earlier would not work at all for Li Jing.

"Report... my lord, there is an urgent report from the border. The Qin army launched a surprise attack on our army and broke through two strongholds in one night. The frontline defenders are struggling to defend the third stronghold, but the Qin army's offensive is too strong. It's fierce, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"what?"

After hearing the news, both Song Jiang and Wu Yong felt as if they had been struck by lightning. The information they read just now said that the Qin army had not moved. Why did they almost hit the door of the house in a blink of an eye?

Song Jiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and then he grabbed the messenger's collar and asked sharply: "Where's the beacon tower? Why didn't you light up the beacon and send out a warning to make the frontier soldiers prepare to meet the enemy?"

"The Qin army came too suddenly, the front line was in chaos, and none of the brothers from the Beacon Tower escaped back. I'm afraid they all died."

Song Jiang's biggest mistake was to openly set up the Beacon Tower. Although its main purpose was to deter, since Li Jing already knew the existence of the Beacon Tower, it was naturally impossible for the beacon to really light up.

Li Jing sent Tai Shici to lead three hundred elite archers, as well as the two master masters Xuan Jian and Yan Ri from the Black Ice Terrace, to attack and kill them overnight, and quietly took all the beacon towers of the Liangshan Army.

Without the warning from the beacon tower, the Liangshan army stationed at the border became blind, and it was too late when the Qin army arrived at the door.

Even if the camp is located in a dangerous place, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are only a few hundred defenders defending the camp.

Li Jing didn't even need to send Ran Min, the most powerful fighter, to go out. Only one Tai Shici, plus thousands of elites, could smash two big villages in Liangshan overnight.

The reason why the third big village was not breached was because Li Jing did it on purpose. He was putting pressure on Song Jiang in this way and giving him time to gather his troops and retreat.

"How could this be?"

Song Jiang had an unbelievable expression on his face. Just now he was saying that it was impossible for Li Jing to fly over, but in the blink of an eye, two of the three insurances were about to be breached.

The speed of this slap is too fast.

Now that the Qin army has already killed them, it also proves that the previous posture of defending was just to confuse the Liangshan army, so Li Jing's real purpose must be to destroy the Liangshan army.

Thinking up to this point, Song Jiang felt extremely fearful in his heart. He knew that Li Jing always made plans before acting, and once he made a move, he was sure of everything.

"What should I do? Military division, what should I do?" Song Jiang asked anxiously.

Li Jing came too fast and too fast, Liang Shanjun hadn't prepared at all, and the double insurance was almost destroyed.

If this trend continues, Li Jing will break through the front line and drive straight in tomorrow, and will appear in front of Song Jiang in three days, which makes it almost too late for Song Jiang to make any arrangements.

"My lord, don't panic, don't let Li Jing call us, we'll be in a mess first."

Under Wu Yong's reassurance, Song Jiang also quickly calmed down. After a long time of thinking together, the two still didn't think of anything to pay attention to. After all, time was too tight. Even if Song Jiang's order could be conveyed, it was too late to implement it.

"It seems that we can only abandon the major counties and concentrate our troops to defend Liangshanbo." Song Jiang said with a dejected expression. He had to go back to Liangshan.

Song Jiang really didn't have the courage to fight Li Jing decisively. The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is really not ordinary. Even if the Liangshan army has more troops, the possibility of defeat is not small.

As for the point of defending the city, Song Jiang never thought about it.

Apart from Liangshan City, Liang State didn't have a big city. Those small counties were not suitable for defending to the death.

Therefore, for now, it is undoubtedly the best choice for the Liangshan army to give up all the territory and retreat to Liangshanpo.

It is undoubtedly a difficult decision for Song Jiang to give up all the territories except Liangshan City. After all, these are the family properties he has accumulated with great difficulty. Even Song Jiang will feel heartbroken if he gives up all of them.

Seeing Song Jiang's distressed look, Wu Yong persuaded, "My lord, there is no need to be like this. After Wang Mang's reinforcements arrive, Li Jing will definitely retreat on his own initiative, and all the cities he gave up will come back."

Hearing this, Song Jiang immediately shivered, and said excitedly, "That's right, why did I forget this?"

The Qin Army in Beihai only had a total of just over [-] troops. Li Jing dispatched a maximum of [-] troops this time. After Wang Mang's reinforcements arrived, the Northern Han Dynasty had a full [-] troops, which was enough to crush Li Jing.

At that time, if Li Jing didn't want the whole army to be annihilated, the only way to go was to retreat, and those abandoned cities would return to the Liangshan Army's hands again.

After thinking up to this point, Song Jiang no longer felt heartache, and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will assemble, and return to Liangshanbo immediately."

"promise."

As expected by Li Jing, Song Jiang did not resist, and directly assembled the army, preparing to retreat to Liangshan to defend.

The defenders who were still defending the front line were naturally given up by Song Jiang.

　Guaranteed one update, and another update.
