The struggle of the reborn prince

In ancient times, with the rise of cities, there were more and more fortresses and towns with fortifications, and the towns themselves were located in important strategic positions, making urban offensive and defensive warfare a common thing.There are no pop-up windows on the net, and the updates are fast. Sometimes even though there is only a small army guarding the city, the attackers need a larger army than the defenders to capture.Because the besieger also needs a sufficient army to control the adjacent area around the castle, repelling the troops that relieved the siege, directly attacking the stronghold or laying a siege, these are actions that are extremely force-consuming.

When the enemy army approached the city, the defenders would adopt the strategy of rushing to save money, and asked the local residents to retreat into the castle with their valuables, especially food and weapons.However, if the government thinks that the siege will last for a long time, the old and weak women and children who cannot participate in the battle will be kept out of the door so as not to consume food, and the civilians will struggle between being killed and starving during the entire siege. Surrender or the evacuation of the besiegers is the end, so the civilians are the last to want to see the protracted war, and the defenders have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to supervise and manage the residents flooding the city.

At this time, Lingzhou City had been besieged for a month, and the surrounding fortress resistance forces were basically wiped out, and the grain and grass collected were enough to last for a period of time. A batch of new weapons and ammunition made by Sun Erqian were also delivered after the weather improved. At the frontier of Lingzhou, all kinds of preparations for the siege are also complete. The pre-war mobilization and training are basically completed, and the time for the siege is gradually ripening.

After several rounds of public opinion wars and psychological warfare by Zhao Tun, the pressure on Wei Ming Anhui increased sharply, and the Song army occupied Dongguan Town, cutting off the passage to Xingzhou.And he 'accepted' the lesson of Iron Gate Gate.It is believed that there is a truth that even if you are killed, you will not leave the city.He did three things in the city. One was to find ways to send people out of the city to Xingzhou to ask for help in order to break the siege of Xingzhou; Incorporated into the city defense force, all the soldiers and civilians in the city were tied to their own chariots; the third is to centralize the management of food, unified deployment, and use food to 'unify' the soldiers and civilians around themselves. Of course, the army is the priority guarantee.Secondly, the various ethnic minorities who surrendered to Xixia, while the Han nationality was the object of supervision, and the rich property was confiscated to be used for military expenses.Like the poor people, they can only get enough food to live, but they have to bear the heaviest labor.

On that crazy rainy night, the Xingzhou navy was wiped out, which became Xingzhou's last effort to rescue Lingzhou.Wei Ming Anhui also gave up his mind and made up his mind to live and die with Lingzhou. He put away the benevolent and moral side of the past, and the wolf nature of the party members was undoubtedly revealed. He was executed and his property was confiscated.At the same time strengthen the control of the people.Martial law was imposed in the city, and those who were dissatisfied were found to be under the high-handed rule. Before the battle started, Lingzhou City had already fallen into a bloody storm. . .

"Has the Song army started attacking the city?" The commander-in-chief of Lingzhou Dutong was set up in the old palace in the city. His name, An Hui, was a civil servant after all. Even though he was separated by two city walls, he was still a little flustered and rumbled constantly. The sound of the cannons reminded him of that horrible night again. The people who followed him out of the customs disappeared, and he saw the entourage sent to scout the enemy's situation back.he asked quickly.

"Reporting to the lord, the Song army bombarded Nancheng, destroying all the towers, turrets, and archery towers at the top of the city. Hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured, but they did not launch an attack afterwards. Instead, they sent a letter to the lord!" Reported, and then took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

"Let the Lingzhou government immediately send people to repair the city defenses, and mobilize troops to deploy defenses on the city. The Song army has always been cunning, and they use the strategy of trying to catch them. They must not slack off!" Wei Ming Anhui heard that the Song army did not take advantage of the situation In the city, he breathed a sigh of relief, issued a few orders, and then opened the letter. These days he finally realized the feeling of spending the days like years, and he has aged a lot. Added a few wrinkles, it seems that I suddenly got depression, can't sleep at night, and have a bad temper during the day.

"This son is hateful, he is too deceitful, he actually wants to surrender to me, he is so angry with me..." Wei Ming Anhui wiped his pupils with blood, and wiped all the things on the table, and scattered pens, inks, papers and inkstones all over the floor.

"Don't be angry, the prince. This is all a trick of Song thieves. Now there are rumors everywhere in the city that those who will kill the generals and offer the city will be named princes and officials, rewarded with millions of dollars, and given hundreds of silks and satins; those who return to the battle will not die; Officers will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars..." The attendants supported the prince while persuading him.

"Get lost, don't you want to kill the king to receive the reward? Take it out and chop it!" This entourage really couldn't speak, and he flattered the horse's hoof, like adding fuel to the fire, and provoked the name An Hui Furious, two guards came in immediately upon hearing the call and dragged the entourage out.

"Decree that the whole city will be searched. Anyone who talks about killing generals and dedicating the city, spreading rumors, and gathering without authorization will be executed on the spot!" Wei Ming Anhui opened another magic box in a rage. Most of the city guards were from The army commanders in Xiliang, most of the people there still retain the habit of nomads who like to plunder. This killing, how can they stop, a hoeing movement quickly turned into a catastrophe, a carnival of rebellious soldiers, as long as Seeing people with a little wealth, they used the name of "collaborating with the enemy" to kill them. . .Throughout the whole night, there was a lot of killing in Lingzhou City, countless people were lying dead on the streets, their families were destroyed!

The next day was the last day of the Song army's siege deadline. Of course Wei Ming Anhui didn't believe Zhao Tun's nonsense, and strictly ordered Xia's soldiers not to disarm and horses to be on guard, but they spent an entire day waiting for the battle. ri; September [-]th, this is the day, Xia Jun is more heavily guarded, but Song Jun is not even seen; in the early morning of the next day, the Song Army brigade suddenly appeared in Dongcheng, the city was full of police reports, and the whole army Go up to the city to guard and mobilize troops to reinforce Dongcheng.But as soon as they stood still, the Song army appeared in the west city again, transporting soil to fill the trench, Xia army quickly divided up and rushed to the west, but when the people arrived, the Song army also withdrew. . .After a day of tossing and tossing, Xia Jun was very busy.

In the next few days, Song Jun ate enough during the day and woke up at night, and sometimes he went out for a walk, but Xia Jun couldn't take it anymore, even Wei Ming Anhui's eyes were like rabbits, and he couldn't sleep After being cured, as soon as the butt hit the chair and the head hit the pillow, I immediately fell asleep. Riri guarded against the thieves but did not see the thieves, Xia Jun was exhausted, no matter how Song Jun was beating drums and gongs under the city, he ignored them, let them toss!

. . . . . .

On September [-]th, at the beginning of Yinshi, the Song army's camp, Huojun cooked meals early. Today's meals are richer than usual. You can eat large pieces of meat and drink broth as you like.At the end of Maoshi, when the whole army had finished their meal, the generals gathered and the drums rang. After the drums were played three times, the generals of each army gathered in the commander's tent.

"Everyone, our army has been besieging the city for many days, and today is the day of the decisive battle!" Zhao Tang said loudly.

"Follow the king's order!" All the generals in the tent saluted together, of course including the generals of the Shaanxi army. Now food, drink, and use, even the sons of the two chief generals are in their hands, why don't you bow your head? .

"Deputy Marshal Zhao Ren of the Zhongyong Army obeys orders!"

"The last general is here!" Zhao Ren stepped out and replied.

"I order you to be the commander of the former army, and lead the dragon generals, lion generals, tiger generals, leopard generals and their subordinates to attack Lingzhou City!"

"The last general will take over the order!" Zhao Ren stepped forward to receive the order from Jin Pi.

"Yao Gu, the envoy of the Jingyuan Road in Shaanxi, and Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Yanyan Road, listen to the order!"

"The last general is here!" The two replied in unison and came out to salute.

"Yao Gu ordered you to be the commander of the left army. Lead the troops of the headquarters to lie down near the east gate, intercept and kill the Xia army who left the city, wait for the opportunity to enter the city, and join forces in the inner city of Lingzhou!"

"Liu Yanqing ordered you to be the commander of the right army. Lead the troops of the headquarters to lie down near the west gate, intercept and kill Xia's army, and block the reinforcements from Jing and Yongzhou. If you are invincible, wait for the opportunity to enter the city, control the west gate, and join forces in the inner city!"

"Follow the king's order!" The two generals took the tokens and retreated.

"Hedong army Qin Feng and Han Tong listen to the order!" The two saluted and went out, and Zhao Tuo continued: "Order you two to lead the headquarters as the rear army to guard Dongguan Town, ensure that there is no loss of food, grass, and gates, and at the same time block Xing State reinforcements!"

"Zhou Dajun, the training envoy of the Linzhou Regiment, I have ordered you to be the commander of the Chinese Army, and lead the archers of the Hedong battalions to protect the Chinese Army!" Zhao Tong said.

"The general obeys!" Zhou Dajun stepped forward to accept the order in surprise, what a great responsibility it is to protect the prince. In the past, it was his turn to protect the Chinese army.

"Zhao Zhi obeys the order!" Zhao Tang looked at Zhao Zhi and said, "You lead the Zhongyong Army's supply battalions and the people of the prefectures as backup. You are responsible for treating the wounded, collecting the corpses, and transporting ammunition and supplies. The responsibility is equally heavy, and nothing will be lost!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will fulfill his mission in the end!" Zhao Zhi regretted not being able to participate in the direct battle, but he still bowed down to accept the order.

"Lingzhou has been trapped by the Xia bandits for a hundred years now. It is the wish of the past emperors to pacify the northwest and regain the land of Henan. To fulfill this wish, hundreds of thousands of blood-blooded men in the Song Dynasty spilled blood in the northwest and lost their souls in the desert! The war will be a century-old shame, regain Lingzhou, revive the prestige of our Western Army, and your names will go down in history forever!" Zhao Tuo got up and said after finishing the platoon.

"We must win, we must win..." The roar of the generals went straight into the sky!

The generals led the troops away, and Zhao Tun led the army in the southern city of Lingzhou, but the bell did not ring in Lingzhou city. After not finding the door flag, there is a hidden murderous intention.

"Refer to your lord, the Zhongyong Army's selection battalion has been assembled, please review your lord!" A group of sergeants behind the formation had already lined up, and a general came out to report.

"Okay..." Zhao Tun said with tears in his eyes. Although he had experienced this kind of scene many times in his previous life, he still couldn't restrain his emotions. The team in front of him will be the first to step into the battlefield and enter the city. Among them, those who can see the victory don't know how many others are there. They are warriors and dead soldiers. They are the essence, flesh and blood of this team, and they are also sons, husbands and fathers. . .
