The confrontation between the Song and Yue armies on the banks of the Fuliang River finally ended with the Song army occupying the Fuliang River.

When the ministers of Thang Long Mansion heard about this, they all said that the Song people had only won for a while. Although the Fuliang River was the first natural line of defense against the Song attack, its importance was not so high.

Without Fuliangjiang, there is Guangyuan Prefecture.

This prefecture, which was given to Jiaozhi by the Emperor of the Song State, has now become a barrier blocking the advance of the Song army.

Most of the world is like this, and it is rare to see people who have not been satirized by life.

Li Changjie led the army to retreat, and only 5,000 troops were released along the way to the palace, and the rest followed him to wear the stars and the moon, and arrived at Guangyuan City in the early morning of the third day.

This city is significantly different from other cities in Cochin, with high and thick walls, which is one of the most distinctive symbols of the Song Dynasty.

After more than ten or twenty years of operation by the Jiaozhi people, the walls of this city are stronger than before. The city defense system is also more complete than in the time of Nong Zhigao, and it can be said that if the Song army has no good way to deal with it, then it is certain to suffer here.

But Guangyuan City has a disadvantage that the population is too large, before the Song and Yue wars, because of its proximity to the border of the Song Kingdom, many merchants from the Song Kingdom like to stop here.

The prosperity of commerce led to the growth of the population, and now there are as many as 200,000 men, women and children in Guangyuan City.

There was not much left for 200,000 people, but Li Changjie brought another 50,000 soldiers into the cantonment. The environment in the city suddenly became bad, and the streets were crowded with people.

The people complained about the army in their hearts, but they certainly did not dare to say it, so they had to endure it in silence.

The first thing Li Changjie did after arriving at Guangyuan City was to cut down the trees near Guangyuan City to prevent the Song army from having a chance to make catapults and other siege equipment.

When the scout came to report that the Song army was only forty miles away from Guangyuan City, Li Changjie sent people to destroy the water source within twenty miles, hoping to use this method to block the Song army's attack.

The idea is very good, if it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have to think twice about whether to go home.

However, he was facing no one else, none other than Downing. A Song general who played with gunpowder - Rindo Baozhong said so.

………………

"Stone, you and Thirteen take eight thousand people to the south gate of Guangyuan City, you don't have to make any moves, just keep a safe distance from Guangyuan City.

Fang Yong, you order 12,000 people to go to the north gate, and as soon as there is movement on our side, you will start a feint. Remember, don't really rush to it. When you rush up, listen to me arragate you.

Simon doesn't care, Shenqian, you take 20,000 people to hide near Simon, don't be exposed. Your mission is not to fight, if there is a wide source

And when the people of the city fled from the west gate, you stuck in the place where they had left, and brought them some trays and dry provisions.

Not much, but it must be delivered, you know what I mean? ”

"Understood." Shen Qian nodded.

"Alright, then let's take all the men and horses and go their separate ways." Tang Ning clapped his hands and said, then he stopped Xiao Shi and said, "By the way, Shi, I estimate that once the thieves' reinforcements come, they will come from the south."

You take a few more scouts, so that you don't get touched by the thieves, and the old breed goes with you, and when you can't make up your mind, ask him what he thinks. ”

"Got it." Xiao Shi agreed, then beckoned to Fang La, and the two of them said goodbye and left.

After Shen Qian and Fang Yong left, only Cheng Yang and Gao Shu were left by Tang Ning's side.

Cheng Yang, as a prisoner, is to stay by Tang Ning's side. And Gao Shu was not assigned a task, so he asked, "What about me?" What am I going to do? ”

"Take your men and lay an ambush on the flanks of the stones, and bring some more gunpowder."

"You want to eat reinforcements?"

"Not really." Tang Ning shook his head: "If the battle goes according to my plan, then the stone side will definitely be the enemy's main direction of attack."

I deliberately only released 8,000 people over there, which is the flaw that is estimated to be exposed.

You go to the flanks to protect the stones, and once Li Changjie leads the army to break through, it's time for you to play. ”

"Okay." Gao Shu is developing more and more in the direction of people who don't talk much, and Tang Ning doesn't know if it's good or bad.

After Gao Shu also left, Cheng Yang said: "Master Su has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Tang Ning sighed and said: "I won't go, some time ago in Fuliangjiang I waited for the opportunity and stood still, the old man already has a lot of opinions about me."

Wouldn't it make him unhappy if I went back at this time? With Pei Daochang by his side, it is estimated that it will get better. We didn't bring much other things this time, but we didn't bring any medicinal herbs.

There are so many doctors, there is no mistake. ”

Cheng Yang nodded and said with emotion: "I used to hear that when I came to Lingnan, I would lose half of my life on the way, and the old man believed half of it in his heart, and half of it didn't belief.

Now that I arrived, I realized that this was true. If it weren't for the official family who sent the old man to the Zhenjiang Army as this supervisor, the old man would not be willing to go through this experience.

When this happens, the old man will definitely tell the official family to resign. If it continues like this, the old man's old bones will not be able to move. ”

Tang Ning glanced at him up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't see that you didn't move at all, many soldiers in the army had symptoms of unadaptability when they first arrived here, and even I was in a daze for several days."

It's just you, getting more and more energetic day by day, tossing those gangs

When you were a recruit, I didn't see you say that you couldn't move. ”

"You little cub......" Cheng Yang was annoyed and ashamed, and raised his hand to fight. Tang Ning anointed the soles of his feet, jumped on his horse, and ran to the front.

Cheng Yang took a sip and muttered something in a low voice.

Fang Yong and Shenqian were already counting people, and the two of them not only had to bring their own subordinates to fight, but also brought the forbidden army and the box soldiers who came to assist.

The level of these people varies, so the selection of soldiers must be carried out with great care.

In the end, Tang Ning suddenly discovered. These people divided up the Zhenjiang army, and the forbidden army was all taken away. Except for a 100-person tiger squat artillery battalion and 300 people from his own personal guard battalion, there was no Zhenjiang army left.

Even the forbidden army, these people did not leave Tang Ning. The remaining fifteen thousand men were all soldiers.

Tang Ning couldn't help but fall into thinking, if Li Changjie learned about this situation, maybe he would not attack the direction where the small stone was, but directly attack against himself.

Fortunately, Tang Ning didn't plan to fight Li Changjie from the beginning, and when he was fully armed, he had to take his life to attack the city, which was something that a fool would do.

"When they are about thirty miles away, they will not go away, and they will camp in the same place. Then find out all the people who know how to read and write, and I have a task for them. ”

Tang Ning walked two steps quickly to the side of the commander of the soldiers and said.

Hearing this, the commander of the van soldiers smiled bitterly and said, "General Tang, there is no problem in front. But I'm afraid the rest is a little difficult...... We are all a bunch of big bosses, and we have no other skills to come to the army. If you can read and write, who would want to be this big soldier? ”

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "That's what I said, but there will always be something to look for." I don't want you to look for more, it's enough for you to find ten people! ”

"Okay, then I'll ask later." The commander of the van soldiers had no choice but to agree.

After that, the army advanced all the way and stopped at a distance of thirty miles from Guangyuan City. The scouts of Jiaozhi immediately reported the news to Li Changjie, and at the same time, the news that the Song army was divided into four ways was also passed over.

Li Changjie listened to it and smiled in his heart.

Sure enough, the purpose of the Song people's attack on Jiaozhi this time was to take away the land, and it seems that after they took advantage of the Tangut people, they were not satisfied, and they had to inch in, and ran to Jiaozhi to grab the land.

Thinking of this, Li Changjie breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation in Annan is far from peaceful, and it can even be said to be extremely dangerous. Occupy the city, Zhenla is eyeing his own Annan Kingdom, and everyone wants to bite off a piece of meat from Annanguo.

If the Song people are just trying to seize land, then it's okay, what he is most worried about is that the Song State will unite with Zhenla and the Champa State to destroy Annan, which is not an impossible thing......
