Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1075 Jingxing

On the seventh day of August, Wang Xiaolie's army marched north, and the two divisions reached the other side of the Hutuo River and confronted Wushu's troops across the river.

Wang Xiaolie walked along the river for a while and returned to the original place. He said: "The water in the Hutuo River is in a hurry. Wu Shu took all the ferries to the north of the river, making it impossible for us to cross the river. This matter needs to be considered in the long run and we should not be anxious."

Wang Ruohai said: "It's a bit difficult to cross the river from the front of Zhending. We should attack Jingxing first and take over the two divisions of Dong Xian and Tan Xingping."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That makes sense. Let's go back to the commander's tent and discuss this matter."

Wu Shu and Han Chang stood at the top of the city, looking at the Song Army camp on the other side.

Han Chang said: "The Song Army's military camp stretches for a long time and there are many soldiers and horses."

Wu Shu said bitterly: "If it had been a few years ago, no matter how many Song troops were killed, they would have killed them without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

Wu Shu often talks about the past recently, full of high spirits. How to deal with the Song Army now is silence. If you ask him if he has any opinion, you will have no choice but to kill him with your horse, leaving no trace of him behind. Only when you really take command will you be very alert and careful.

Han Chang said: "The king came up with an idea and gave the Song army a blow. Otherwise, how could the Song army be so rampant?"

Wu Shu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Song Army camp, thinking hard.

Suddenly, Wu Shu said: "We took advantage of the Song army's unpreparedness, suddenly crossed the river, and charged into the Song army!"

Han Chang smiled bitterly: "No way. The Song army has been prepared for a long time. After crossing the river, even if they win, how can they come back?"

Wu Shu fell into hard thinking again and racked his brains.

When you have the upper hand, you can come up with a plan and implement it. Even if there are mistakes in the middle, they can be settled one by one with force. Anyway, your army is strong, and even if you encounter difficulties, you can solve them one by one with force.

Now that you are at a disadvantage, no matter how hard you think of any strategy, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties. If it is not very clever, it cannot be executed after hard thinking and the boldness and carefulness of the person who executes it. Wu Shu thought about it again and again, and Han Chang would often deny the strategies he just mentioned.

Facing the Hutuo River and the Jin army that was no less numerous than his own, Wang Xiaolie had no choice but to do anything. If there is a long-term war, Wang Xiaolie will certainly have many options. But facing Zhending Mansion, Wang Xiaolie's original idea was to solve the problem in a short time, not more than half a month at most. As time went by, many problems emerged.

Wang Xiaolie finally decided to capture the entire south bank of the Hutuo River, including Jinxing. Completely open the road to Taihang Mountain and first take over the two divisions of Dong Xian and Tan Xingping. After the whole army has arrived, we will discuss it with Wu Shu in a long term.

Xie Li Nong led five thousand soldiers and horses to the outside of Jinxing City.

After watching outside the city for a while, Xie Linong smiled and said: "We surrounded Zhending Mansion. Wu Shu also knew that he could not defend Jinxing, so he only sent two thousand soldiers and horses. Isn't it extremely simple to break the city? We have artillery. , the so-called city wall will soon be blasted open."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered that we start cooking today and muster up all our strength to open and enter Xingcheng tomorrow.

Yi Cicheng stood at the top of the city with a deep expression on his face, watching the Song army setting up their camp. After a while, he sighed: "The Song army has five thousand people. If in peacetime, five thousand people attack the city, there will only be a small number of people. Now there are cannons in the Song army and they hit the city. How can the city be defended?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and thought hard about countermeasures.

The deputy general Jiris on the side said to Yi Cicheng: "General, since we can't defend it, we should find another way. King Wushu will not cross the river to the south, so we have to defend the city by ourselves. If we continue to defend it like this, we can only watch the city. break."

"What should I do if I rely on you?" Ji Lisi said, "Take advantage of the new arrival of the Song army and fight out of the city tonight. If we can kill the Song army and retreat, then everything will be fine. If we can't kill them, kill them for a while." It can also slow down their attack. As time goes by, we will slowly think of ways."

Yi Cicheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Okay! Fight out of the city tonight and meet the Song army!"

Jingxing is located in the basin and guards the exit of Jingxing Road. Once Jingxing is captured, Jingxing Road will be penetrated, and the army from the Taihang Mountains can come over.

The key to guarding Jingxing Road is to defend against the Hedong army. If the main army comes along Hebei Road, guarding Jingxing will be useless. Therefore, Wu Shu withdrew all his troops to the north bank of the Hutuo River. It was no longer useful to defend the south bank. There are still two thousand people guarding the city in Jingxing, which is just a matter of habit.

At night, look how late it is. Yiyingcheng tightened his belt and said: "The Song army has artillery, and the city cannot be defended no matter what. We are going to fight out of the city tonight and meet the Song army to see life and death! If it succeeds, then Jingxing County You can also defend it!”

The fully dressed Jin Jun said "hey" together.

What if killing him doesn't work? He didn't say anything about moving the assassination. Because it’s useless to say it, because failure to achieve is a dead end.

He got on his horse, looked at the moon in the sky, and muttered something. Suddenly he shouted loudly: "Get out of the city! Kill!"

Slowly opening the city gate, the army came out of the east gate guard of the city, and without saying a word, they went to kill the Song army.

After walking more than a hundred steps, I suddenly heard a shrill whistle.

Following the whistle, horns and drums suddenly sounded in the Song Army camp. It seems that the Song army is waiting there, waiting for the Jin army to arrive.

Hearing the sound of drums and whistles, I moved my thorns and realized that it was not good. But when things came to an end, they could not retreat, so they could only rush towards the Song army.

Suddenly, countless torches lit up the Song Army's military camp, illuminating the military camp.

Xie Linong held a spear and rode out slowly. Said: "You robbed a camp in Zhaozhou once, and you dared to rob it again. How brave you are! Fortunately, I wore armor to sleep and didn't fall into your trap! Come on, have a fight with Grandpa!"

After saying that, he came up with a spear and killed him.

He moved his thorns into gritted teeth, held a spear, and rushed forward to fight with Xie Linong.

Xie Linong was accustomed to using long guns. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after not being on the front line for so long. The spear was like a poisonous dragon, constantly attacking Yi Cicheng. Yi Cicheng dodged a few shots, and with anger rising in his heart, he fired a few shots and turned the situation around.

At this time, a large number of soldiers came up. Because Xie Linong didn't say that he wanted to fight alone, he was quickly replaced by soldiers, who swarmed into a group and surrounded him. The thorns were moved to the left and right branches, and they complained incessantly. Xie Linong retreated to his army, holding a spear and looking at Yi Xi into a sneer.

As Wang Xiaolie's general, how could Xie Linong fight alone? Go up and stab him twice. Once the addiction in your heart is over, it's over. You have to command the battle.

The Jin army only had 2,000 men, and it was already at a disadvantage against the Song army of 5,000 men. After hard training, the Song army had already become proficient in killing skills, and had the upper hand against the Jin army. In just a few breaths, the Jin army was killed and retreated step by step, clearly at a disadvantage.
