The struggle of the reborn prince

Gao Xiang led a group of nobles to cheat open the gate of the city without daring to raise a fire to light the lamp, and walked straight out of the west gate, wanting to get out of the encirclement of the Song army first and then choose a way to go north, and escape back to Xingqing through Jingzhou. After walking for three miles, they suddenly saw a fire in front of them. Hearing the sound of horses' hoofs, he knew that Qianqi was coming towards them.Internet without pop-up window update fast

"Run, you're in the middle!" Gao Xiang couldn't see it, so he yelled, turned his horse's head and wanted to run back, but none of the people who followed came out with their families and a bunch of children and wives. It is not easy to turn around with a small fortune.

Gao Xiang could see it, and those who followed him were not blind, so they naturally saw it, and in the panic, it was like sparks fell on a hornet's nest, and the camp was in chaos in an instant, calling their wives and sons to part ways, and for a while People and horses collided, trampled on each other, children cried, women screamed, and no one cared about the other.But they couldn't run far, and the cavalry of the Song army also appeared on the two wings, and they circled over in an arc. They had no future, so they had to go back to the city, and these people were all driven back.

"It's over..." These people came out not far away, the gate of the city was not closed, the suspension bridge was not pulled up, and people rushed to the first place, and more than a thousand people crowded over. The soldiers guarding the city had no time to close the gate. Gao Xiang watched quickly Song Jun who approached sighed, knowing that Ximen was also finished.

"May I ask which general is the opposite side? Gao Xiang, the magistrate of Xialingzhou, led the people to dedicate the city and please surrender!" Gao Xiang saw that his life was at an end, so he repeated his old tricks. Song Jun shouted.

"I am Liu Yanqing, the envoy of Yan Jinglue, who are you?" Liu Yanqing reined in his horse, looked up and down the visitor and asked.

"I am Gao Xiang, the prefect of Lingzhou City. I was originally a citizen of the Song Dynasty. The Xia army besieged the city 20 years ago. In order to save the lives of the soldiers and people in the city, I had no choice but to surrender to the enemy. But I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han. I look forward to day and night The heavenly army is coming, and today I finally look forward to it, and I will dedicate the city to repay the favor of heaven..." Gao Xiang wanted to see his relatives, and he pulled Liu Yanqing's horse with his nose and tears and cried.

"This son is pretending to surrender!" Liu Yanqing didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Gao Xiang, and Gao Xiang, who was still chattering to show his loyalty, fell to the ground in shock, with blood spurting out of his throat.The corpse fell to the ground, "Advance the army quickly, and seize the gate to enter the city!" After beheading Gao Xiang, Liu Yanqing swung his knife and shouted.The striker rushed to the city gate.

"This is really a credit for coming to the door..." Liu Yanqing picked up Gao Xiang's head with a knife and said with a smile. After many years of guarding the border, he has already become a traitor. Seeing that the city is about to fall, the magistrate of Lingzhou please surrender.That credit became his, and he still only had to eat the soup, but how much credit he had for beheading the magistrate of Lingzhou with his own hands, and those who ran back desperately.It looks like it's either rich or expensive, and it's credit for killing it!

Poor Gao Xiang is not a good person.I have sent myself to a point of no return, but things always have pros and cons.Gao Xiang's killing was clearly seen by the defenders at the top of the city. They panicked and ignored those who fled back. While closing the city gate, they fired bows and arrows down the city, rolling logs and stones all at once. It was smashed down, and the Yan Yanjun who was robbing the door, together with those nobles, were taken under the city. Liu Yanqing had to redeploy his troops to attack the city.But if he accepts Gao Xiang's request to surrender, he can drive straight into the inner city, but now because he is greedy for a short-term success, he can only pay a higher price. What's more serious is that he completely blocked Xia Jun's escape route out of the city. Xia Jun can only fight to the end. . .

The South Gate is the main gate of Lingzhou City. Temples, restaurants, shops, and forest gardens are densely covered on both sides of the street, which is the most prosperous place in Lingzhou City.The Zhongyong army defeated the resistance of the Xia army near the city gate, and immediately advanced along the main street, but the defeated Xia army retreated into the street, using the cover of the house to resist steadily, delaying their attack,

Street fighting is the cruelest way of fighting in cities, and it is also something that the attacking side should try to avoid.During the Gulf War, even the U.S. military, known as the number one in the world, was cautious when entering Baghdad for fear of getting involved in street fighting; the second-ranked Russian army fought for nearly a month in the Battle of Grozny in the Chechen War, blowing up the city into ruins , still paid a heavy price, even the commander of the former enemy was killed by the opponent's sniper, it can be described as tragic!

Zhao Tong is engaging in psychological warfare and deterrence warfare at the same time. He just wants to destroy Xia Jun's will to fight and let them abandon the city and flee after the city is broken. However, it cannot be said that Zhao Tang gave up street fighting. He chose the abandoned city to organize various ministries to carry out street fighting training, and formulated corresponding tactics according to the situation in Lingzhou City.

After entering the city, the houses are densely packed, and the walls of all kinds of houses are relatively strong, which are quite resistant to bullets and arrows. Therefore, the enemy often relies on dense buildings to resist. suffered heavy casualties.The Zhongyong Army did not adopt the tactics of attacking hard and fighting house by house. Instead, they used their superiority in firepower to adopt a roundabout attack method to divide the enemy-occupied area, so that the enemy was isolated and had the illusion of being surrounded, and automatically lost. , and then take the opportunity to capture and annihilate the defeated soldiers.

The combat method is to first use one to monitor the enemy from the front, and the main force is ready to detour to the enemy's back and launch a sudden attack.At this time, if all the enemy's retreat routes are cut off, the enemy will definitely resist desperately, so a retreat route should be released, and heavy weapons should be secretly deployed on this side.After the assault begins, if the enemy retreats through our planned retreat and enters the ambush circle, we will use the heavy firearms prepared in advance to sweep and annihilate them. This tactic has often been successful in battle.

But the Xia army also has bold ones who want to be lonely heroes. Only in this unavoidable situation did the Zhongyong army launch a direct attack.There are also corresponding tactics at this time. They first send a strong team to control the commanding heights first, clear out the enemies hiding in dark places such as roofs and trees, and then cover with heavy weapons, making full use of the terrain and ground objects to quickly approach the houses occupied by the enemy. , Take advantage of your own weapons to destroy the enemy.When encountering stubborn resistance or solid buildings, use explosives to solve them directly, blow open walls, destroy houses for assault, and resolutely eliminate them.

The tactics of the Zhongyong Army went smoothly, and soon reached the inner city. Under the escort of the guards, Zhao Tang also came to the city along the opened passage. He boarded a four-story pavilion outside the inner city. , scanning Lingzhou City at night.At this time the moon had already risen, but it was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, only a bleak light was revealed, but the fire in the city was not extinguished, the killing sound continued, and the battle was still going on everywhere.

"My lord, should we wait for the Jingyuan Army and the Yanyan Army to complete their cleanup tasks before attacking the inner city? Besides, the ministries have been fighting for a long time, and the sergeants are very tired and need to rest urgently. Why don't we wait until dawn tomorrow before fighting!" Zhao said. Ren tentatively asked, the Zhongyong Army has always undertaken the most difficult task of attacking the fortifications, and Chen Bing was the first to go down the city, but the two friendly troops who were in charge of fighting for reinforcements and taking advantage of the bargain fell into a hard fight, and were entangled by disabled soldiers and could not reach them.

Zhao Tong was very annoyed, those two were so muddy that they couldn't get on the wall, and they didn't listen to them when they waited for an opportunity to enter the city, they insisted on grabbing credit, these forced Xia Jun to a dead end, fighting them to the end, not only can't help now He was busy, and asked himself for help with a shy face, but now that the battle was tight, he couldn't spare them to deal with them.And what he was most worried about was that the food hadn't arrived yet. If Wei Ming An Hui found out that he was completely isolated tomorrow, the first thing he would do would be to burn the food and then fight himself desperately.

That's millions of shi of grain, enough for my loyal army to eat for a few years, and the whole city for more than a year. If this batch of grain is lost, it will have to be fed thousands of miles from the east of the river, which will not only consume a lot of manpower Material resources, at this time, the troops in the newly occupied land lacked stability in the rear, and they had to risk being attacked by the Xia army.What's more important is that after fighting for a long time, I didn't get any benefits, and I still have to pay for the subsidy, which makes the burden on the people in Hedong even heavier and the treasury is even more empty. How can this allow them to support me in the future!

"We can't wait any longer!" Zhao Tun made a decision, "Zhao Ren, what's the loss of each department now, and how many reserves are there?"

"My lord, the tiger generals, lion generals, and leopard generals of our army were the first to participate in the battle and lost more than [-] casualties. The dragon generals have always served as a reserve team and only participated in the attack after entering the city. The combat power is basically complete, and each department still retains a commander. The reserve team did not go into battle, but was going to use it to attack the inner city." Zhao Ren replied after a little thought.

"Okay, you order the dragon generals to support the Yanyan army in the west city; the lion generals and leopard generals each allocate half of their troops to support the Jingyuan army in the east city, and the rest of the troops control the traffic arteries outside the inner city to prevent them from breaking out and reinforcements; the tiger generals are on the spot Take a rest and serve as the general reserve team; I will lead the Guards Battalion to attack the inner city!" Zhao Tong said.

"My lord can't do it. The Guards Battalion only has a thousand troops, but there are still [-] elite Xia soldiers in the inner city. How can we fight it!" Siege is not to defend the city. It is said that 'encircle it with ten, attack it with five'. The prince has seven or eight times fewer troops than others but dares to attack the city. Although the inner city is weaker than the outer city of Lingzhou, he is also courageous Big enough!

"Deputy Marshal, you are doubting the combat effectiveness of our Guards Battalion, are we not as good as those in the Picking Front Battalion?" Wang Ye hadn't spoken yet, talking to Xin Zhao who had been behind Wang Ye first.

"That's right, in addition to the Guards Battalion, there are also my five hundred prefecture troops. We have followed you for more than a thousand miles, but we haven't fought a single battle, and we haven't accomplished an inch!" Zhe Meiluan also opened his mouth to Zhao Ren.

"No, no, I didn't mean that. The Guards Battalion is where the elite of our army is located. No one can compare to it. The Fuzhou Army is also brave and good at fighting, but you have to put the prince's safety first, how can you move lightly!" Zhao Ren hurried explained.

"There are 200 people in the Guards Battalion, and 1000 people in the Guard Squadron to protect the prince, plus 500 people from the Fuzhou Army, there are 500 people. Now your machine gun battalion is no longer needed. Just assign them to us to cooperate in the battle, if you are still not at ease, you can also distribute your bodyguards to me, so there will be nearly 3000 people, enough to deal with them!" Xin Zhao looked at Zhao Ren and said with a smile.
