I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 161
Yongping Village is located halfway up the mountain, and Langsong can be seen across the ridge.

Langsong is the nearest city in Annan to the neighboring Guochao. Although it is not big, its prosperity is almost as prosperous as Shangxian County in the Guochao.

After all, Langsong is the only way for businessmen, and it should be so prosperous.

But today, Langsong City panicked.

Originally, Lang Song had [-] soldiers stationed there, but because the eldest prince conquered Guangyuan, he transferred [-] of Lang Song's soldiers, leaving only [-] soldiers to maintain order.

The whole Langsong knows that Guangnan in Song Dynasty has been disturbed by Nong Zhigao.So even if Lang Song is the border, even if there are only a thousand soldiers, nothing will change.

But suddenly, early in the morning, the soldiers who had just changed their shift and patrolled saw a swath of red rushing from the mountainside...

"It's Song Jun! Hurry up! Hurry up! Close the city gates and report to the county magistrate! Report to the inspection!"

The leader of the army once went to the territory of the Song Dynasty to plunder with the army, so he naturally recognized the uniform of the Song army.

And at this time, there was a large area glowing red in front of him... This cost tens of thousands, right?

"Your Highness, why don't you attack?"

Di Qing said that Zhao Xi was fully in command, so naturally he would not ask more questions, and Yang Wenguang, as the deputy general, needed to understand Zhao Xi's entire strategy so that he could accurately convey orders.

Although the order to encircle but not attack was very clear, the reason...Yang Wenguang still wanted to figure it out.

"Vice General Yang, if Lang Song is besieged, and the soldiers in the city feel that the siege force is insufficient, and they have the ability to rush out to ask for help, where will the soldiers of Lang Song choose to ask for help?"

"The army soldiers were transferred to Guangyuan, which is the closest to Guangyuan, and Guangyuan is ready for help, so they will definitely ask for help from Guangyuan."

Yang Wenguang still has this bit of common sense, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be Di Qing's lieutenant general.

"If the eldest prince in the direction of Guangyuan knows that Lang Song is besieged, how will he deal with it?"

"Divide the troops to break the siege!... But, Your Highness, half of the Western Army rushed to attack Langsong, and the Western Army in Guangyuan was less than [-]. Even if Annan divided the troops, Wang Shi wanted to use [-] Western Army to lead the recruitment and attack the elite Annan, but he was defeated. Sheng Shao."

Alas... the mind always stays on the impact.Originally, Zhao Xi's respect for Tianbo Yang's family, after getting in touch with him during this period of time, he found that it was the same... He always ignored the fact that he was the prince.

"Vice General Yang, instead of attacking, we will lay an ambush to reinforce Annan's army in Lang Song. This is called encirclement and reinforcement."

……

The troops sent by Song Dynasty to attack Lang Song were only about [-], and it was difficult to encircle the city on all sides.Obviously there is a shortage of troops.

The county magistrate and inspector of Langsong looked around the city wall, and probably understood the current battle situation.

In any case, asking for help is necessary, just to see how to break out of the encirclement.

At midnight, the south gate of Langsong suddenly opened, and probably all the cavalry rushed out of the city gate, as if they were going to rush out of the encirclement and go to Shenglong Mansion for help...

Yang Wenguang looked at Zhao Xi...he didn't understand what His Highness meant by coming to the south gate tonight, but now he understood.

It seems that His Highness expected that the Lang Song defenders would seek help from the Thang Long Mansion.The question is, if this is the case, will His Highness arrange for the vanguard to go to Guangyuan, whether it will be recalled.

"Vice General Yang, order the soldiers to strictly guard the line of defense, but do not use gunpowder."

The gunpowder bombs are for the reinforcements, and Zhao Xi doesn't want to be exposed so early.

Yang Wenguang took the order and went forward to supervise the battle.

"Your Highness, but Ximen is going to break through?"

This is the first time Di Qing asked about the battle situation after entering the southern border.

"It should be. The general of the Langsong garrison is not too bad, and he knows how to make a difference."

This is to praise the other party, and it seems to be more proud of his own judgment.

"Simon..."

"Xi has told Uncle Xie to let him go after a little resistance."

Zhao Xi has clearly informed the entire command of the entire strategy.He is not used to the coach's decision-making approach at this time, just like a drill, he has known his thoughts to the command.

The battle at the South Gate was brief.Originally, An Nanfang was pretending to charge, but Wang Shi was really fighting. After a few blows, he left some horses and soldiers, and withdrew to the city.

"It's done! Order the soldiers, after half an hour, the whole army will withdraw and march in the direction of Guangyuan."

This is an urgent job. Zhao Xi must choose a good place to ambush when he reaches Guangyuan for help.

This was not within the territory, and the mountains and rivers were unfamiliar. Even though Sun Jie and Cao Lin had already set out ahead of time, Zhao Xi still wanted to check the ambush location in advance.

Lang Song is already on the plain, the side near Guochao is the mountain, and the direction of Thang Long Mansion is the plain.

Zhao Xi was also not sure whether there was a place suitable for an ambush between Langsong and Guangyuan.

……

"The Song army has withdrawn!"

"It should also be withdrawn. The Nong people are causing trouble in Guangnan, and the tens of thousands of soldiers are probably trying to attack the rear of Guangyuan..."

The county magistrate and inspector of Langsong stood on the top of the city, looking outside the empty city wall, chatting proudly.

Guessing what happened to the [-] soldiers of the Song army when they went to suppress the Nong people...

Less than fifty miles to the west from Langsong, there are deep mountains and dense forests again, and the canyon in the middle is the avenue connecting Guangyuan and Langsong.

This... seems to have been specially created for ambushes.Seeing Master Wang approaching, Sun Jie and Cao Lin also came out from the bushes and trees on the mountainside... It is indeed not easy to find the ambush.

……

"His Royal Highness and Di Shuai are probably done!"

Ever since Zhao Xi and Di Qing led the army away, Yu Jing has been on guard on the watchtower every day. He and Sun Mian have divided the work, taking turns, and there must be no shortage of people.

It was early in the morning, and it was time for the two of them to go up to the watchtower at the same time.

"It must be so!"

The Annan military camp on the opposite side is very lively, it should be that reinforcements are being prepared to support Lang Song.

"Thousands of elites, don't compromise on the Annan border!"

Ten thousand soldiers, going deep into other lands, fighting alone... Even if His Highness's wisdom is close to that of a monster, Yu Jing is still very worried.

"The reinforcements seem to be less than tens of thousands..."

This is much easier.The ability of the imperial court to defend the city should be regarded as the top among the surrounding countries.If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Di Shuai have already captured Lang Song, even if Annan's reinforcements arrive, they should be able to guard for a few days.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Di Shuai could have quickly evacuated to Yongping Village after defeating Lang Song.

They didn't know that Zhao Xi and the others were just passing by Lang Song, and they didn't attack Lang Song sincerely at all.

At this time, Zhao Xi and the others were enjoying the cool in the dense forest.

"coming……"

No need to stick to the ground to listen to the sound of hooves, just to see the startled birds flying in the distant mountains and forests, and know that this is the arrival of Annan's reinforcements.

It turned out to be cavalry!
Arriving at the ambush site again, look west.

"Five thousand!"

Di Qing saw at a glance that there were five thousand cavalry.

Five thousand cavalry came galloping from a distance, and the armor of the cavalry was mixed in the dust raised up. The scene was indeed shocking.

It was the first time Zhao Xi had seen cavalry of this size... He really understood the fear of the infantry when the cavalry charged.
