Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

Under the city of Jiyin, the onslaught of the Song army continued.

The Fourth Infantry Corps of the Liangshan Rebel Army stationed in Jiyin City was also struggling to resist.

Relying on strong fortifications and firepower, the Fourth Army of Liangshan Rebel Infantry withstood the attack of the Song army. Moreover, it caused great casualties to the Song army.

The three forbidden army units responsible for the attack, namely the Crane Control Army, the Tiger Jet Army and the Divine Guard Army, had already suffered heavy losses.

The commanders of these three forbidden army forces were almost desperate.

Looking at the corpses of the Song Army piled up under the walls of Jiyin City, they all had a feeling of scalp numbness.

The fierce siege battle had been going on for twelve days. Both sides have almost reached the point of exhaustion.

Gao Qiang, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, who was responsible for commanding this decisive battle, was also under great pressure.

Song Huizong would send people almost every day to ask how the battle results were, but how dare Gao Lian tell Song Huizong the real situation? Isn’t that looking for death?

Once Song Huizong learned the truth, if the Song army did not even take Jiyin City despite heavy losses, he would definitely cut him directly without saying a word.

The generals of the Song army also knew this well and were afraid of being implicated. Therefore, they did not dare to report the truth to the Bianjing side.

So much so that the Bianjing side, including Song Huizong, was kept in the dark, thinking that the attack of the Song army was smooth and had gained an advantage in the war.

Of course, even at this time, Gao Lian did not admit defeat.

After all, he still had as many as 100,000 cavalry in his hands. The Iron Cavalry Army and the Dragon Jet Army became his last hole cards. He had already calculated that when the head of the Song army under Jiyin City broke the blood, it was when the Liangshan rebel army took the initiative to fight the Song army to the death.

At that time, it may be possible to rely on these powerful cavalry to defeat the Liangshan rebels in one fell swoop, thereby turning the situation around and winning the final victory.

It can be said that Gao Lian pinned his last hopes on these cavalrymen. If these cavalry did not achieve victory, but failed. Then, it’s really over.

After twelve days of fighting, the Song army had suffered heavy losses. The three forbidden armies responsible for attacking Jiyin City had lost more than 80,000 people. This is still the result of deliberately controlling the scale of the attack. If the losses were not invested in the fierce attack, the losses of the Song army might have been even greater. Even so, the 250,000 forbidden troops gathered under Jiyin City only had 170,000 left, which could be described as a heavy loss.

“Damn Liangshan thief army, why haven’t you launched an attack yet? If it drags on like this, the paper will not be able to contain the fire. Sooner or later, His Majesty will know everything. At that time, the official will be dead! Gao Lian was very anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.

At this moment, in Dingtao City, the generals of Wusong and Liangshan Rebels were also making final preparations.

“Brothers, the Fourth Army has been holding out in Jiyin City for twelve days. The losses of the troops were high and the casualties were increasing. By now, tens of thousands of people have been lost. Although they inflicted greater casualties on the Song army. But we can’t let them go any further. Otherwise, the Fourth Army would have suffered heavy losses. Wusong said.

The generals of the Liangshan rebel army all nodded one after another, and it was already very valuable that the Fourth Army could hold out until now, causing huge losses to the Song army at a very small cost.

“Grand Commander! Now is indeed the time to fight back. Although the Song army still has an advantage in strength. However, the advantage is not too great. With our strength, we can definitely defeat them! Lin Chong seemed very confident.

“Yes, Grand Commander. The brothers have been waiting for so many days, and they have long been anxious. Yang Xiong also said.

“Grand Commander, we have won victory on the battlefield on the Northern Front. The Sixth and Eighth Armies had already defeated the Song army. At present, it has occupied the daimyo house. The Hucheng brothers and the Dong Ping brothers both wrote to ask for instructions, whether the next step is to continue to attack the north, or to return to the main battlefield? Zhu Wu asked.

“The Sixth and Eighth Armies, as well as the Second Cavalry Corps, also performed well. Let them temporarily stop their attack to the north, rest first, and consolidate the occupied areas. Wusong said.

“Grand Commander, why don’t you let the Sixth and Eighth Armies continue to attack north? Now the Song army on Jizhou East Road and Jizhou West Road has suffered heavy losses and is in the midst of an empty force. If the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army go north, they will definitely be able to take the opportunity to take Jizhou East Road and Jizhou West Road. Gongsun Sheng was a little puzzled.

Not only him, but also other Liangshan generals also had such thoughts.

Now is definitely a great opportunity for the Liangshan rebels to launch a victorious pursuit!

“Jizhou East Road and Jizhou West Road, and fifty or sixty thousand Song troops. These Song armies have both forbidden troops and box armies. However, they are all armies that have been fighting against the Liao people on the border for many years, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. And Hedong Road, there are 70,000 Song troops, ready to march to Jizhou West Road and Jizhou East Road. Once we continue to go north, the Song army will definitely take action in these years. At present, our main battlefield is still under the city of Jiyin, and in the north, there is no need to expand the battlefield. Wusong said.

Gongsun Sheng and the generals all nodded one after another.

There are still hundreds of thousands of Song troops in the north, and they are all border troops with strong combat effectiveness, and their strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

“And the most important point is that the Liao and Xixia people are all looking at each other. We cannot continue to weaken the border forces. Let them resist the Liao and Xixia people. We want to develop our strength as much as possible during this period of time. When we defeat the Song army and can fight against the Liao and Western Xia people, we will march to the border area. At that time, those border troops will have only two options, either surrender to us or be destroyed by us! Wusong continued.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Gongsun Sheng and other generals agreed with Wu Song’s view.

After all, foreign races are the biggest threat to the Han people.

“The people of the north are fierce, and they can recruit young and strong people and form armies. In this way, start the formation of the 14th and 15th Infantry Corps! At that time, these two generals, together with the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army, became the main forces against the two. In addition, the Second Cavalry Corps should also be as full as possible. Wusong ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Gongsun Sheng replied.

After arranging the affairs of the northern front, Wusong’s attention once again returned to the western front. This is the most important battlefield at this stage.
