In late April 1114, Gao Qiang, the Emperor Shu of the Song Dynasty, personally rushed to the Eastern Ming Dynasty and commanded the attack.

In order to be able to go further in power, to be able to compete with Cai Jing, or even surpass Cai Jing, he also has to go all out this time.

“Generals. This time, the imperial court will go all out to suppress the Liangshan thief army in one fell swoop. Our army is the most elite forbidden army of the imperial court. And our enemy is nothing more than a bunch of bandits. I firmly believe that the final victory must be ours! Gao Lian looked confident.

The generals of the Great Song court also echoed one after another.

“His Majesty has promised that after defeating the Liangshan thief army this time, all meritorious ministers will be rewarded. Your Majesty will never forget you. Gao Lian continued.

This made these generals even breathe rapidly.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the status of military generals was originally greatly inferior to that of civilian officials. It is extremely difficult to get promoted.

And now, there is undoubtedly a great opportunity in front of them.

If they can seize this opportunity, then their soaring prosperity is just around the corner!

Although, the strength of the Liangshan rebels is very strong. But they are also very confident in themselves. After all, the troops under their command were the most powerful troops among the forbidden troops of the Great Song Court!

“Sir, we are all ready, and my lord can give orders at any time!” Li Ding, the chief general of the Iron Cavalry Army, was the first to express his position.

“Yes, my lord. This time, we will definitely kill all those Liangshan thief army!” Zeng Bu, the new commander of the Divine Guard, also said.

Du Chang, the main general of the Crane Control Army, Yu Ce, the main general of the Hujie Army, Han Zongdao, the main general of the Longjie Army, and others also expressed their views.

Since ancient times, there has been no first and no second.

As a general, he is especially the main general who commands tens of thousands of elite troops. Naturally, they are also proud people.

Even in the previous war, the Liangshan rebels had proved their strength with strong combat effectiveness. However, these generals were convinced that it would be theirs who would win in the end.

“Very good! Since this is the case, then attack in three days. Take Jiyin City first. Then take Dingtao, along Jishui, all the way to Liangshan Shuibo! Gao Lian ordered.

“Yes, Lord Privy Seal!” All the generals replied.

They already seem to be full of confidence and high fighting spirit.

Just as the so-called people die for the food of wealth and death birds, since Song Huizong gave such a big temptation, naturally let them go all out.

At the same time, Wu Song was also working with the generals of the Liangshan rebel army to formulate countermeasures.

“How is the city defense reinforcement in Jiyin?” Wu Song asked.

“Grand Commander! Over the past few months, the Fourth Army has been fortifying the walls of Jiyin. At present, the height of the city wall has increased by more than two meters, reaching nearly three feet high. We also dug a moat under the city of Jiyin to channel the water into it. The moat is two feet wide. It is not so easy to cross the river, or to fill in the moat by force. In addition, we moved all the artillery to the head of Jiyin City. Condescending shooting, longer range, more powerful firepower! Mu Hong, commander of the Fourth Army, reported.

“Very good, this time I specially brought the eleventh and twelfth regiments of artillery. Originally, they planned to be sent to the south to join the newly formed Eleventh and Twelfth Armies. But now, our decisive battle with the imperial court is imminent. So, I specially brought these two artillery regiments to the front. Join the city defense system of Jiyin! Wusong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander. With the addition of two artillery regiments, the defensive strength within Jiyin City will be greatly increased. If the Song army dares to storm Jiyin City, we will definitely make them pay a heavy enough price!” Mu Hong was overjoyed.

This time, the battle plan of the Liangshan rebels was all around Jiyin City.

The Liangshan rebels hoped that the time of the decisive battle could be delayed. The more you delay, the stronger the Liangshan rebel army will be.

After all, the Liangshan rebels were attacking cities in the south. New units will also be formed soon. The longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the Liangshan rebels.

And what really can’t be dragged off is the Great Song Imperial Court. Therefore, they must eliminate the Liangshan rebels in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, in the face of the city held by the Liangshan rebels, the imperial court forbidden army would inevitably attack in a big way.

Wu Songzai hoped that the imperial court forbidden army would launch a fierce attack on Jiyin City. Let the imperial court ban army under the city of Jiyin, suffer heavy losses and pay a huge price.

In this way, not only can the strength of the imperial court forbidden army be greatly depleted.

At the same time, it was also an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the imperial court forbidden army.

After the imperial court forbidden army was consumed to a certain extent, Wu Song led the main force of the Liangshan rebel army to attack, and naturally he was able to defeat them in one fell swoop.

“Are the grain, gunpowder, arrows and other materials in Jiyin City ready? Once the attack of the Song army begins, we will no longer be able to replenish Jiyin City. Wusong said.

“Grand Commander, we have hoarded enough food in Jiyin City for a year. Gunpowder and arrows, as well as shells and other materials, were well prepared. Even if the 200,000 main forbidden army of the imperial court launches a fierce siege, we can bear it! Mu Hong seemed very confident.

To the north of Jiyin is Jishui, so the Fourth Army of the Liangshan Rebel Infantry only needs to defend the other three sides.

Strong city defenses, plus powerful firepower.

Mu Hong had absolute confidence in letting the Song army break the blood when he touched his head under Jiyin City.

“Very well, Brother Muhong. This battle depends on the Fourth Army. We are well prepared though. However, the forbidden army is not garbage either. This time, I am afraid that the Fourth Army will have to pay the price of heavy losses! I promise, though. After this battle, the Fourth Army will be replenished first! Wusong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander. Please rest assured that the entire Fourth Army will firmly hold Jiyin City, and will definitely not let the imperial court forbidden army have an opportunity! Mu Hong assured.

Mu Hong’s personal ability is not too strong, but he joined the Liangshan Rebel Army early, so he was able to occupy a high position.

But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

It is inevitable that some people will use this as a gossip.

Mu Hong also made up his mind, wanting to use this battle to play his own prestige and the majesty of the entire Fourth Army. Even if you know that you will pay a heavy price for this, you don’t care!
