Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shameless Xiangyang Guard
On the front line of Huainan East Road, Su Shi Lie Zhining made a strange move.
With 15,000 kidnappers and 8,000 iron floating slaughter, Chuzhou was nailed, and the defense line of the Great Song Huainan East Road was gloomy and bleak.
However, on the Jingnan Road front, Da Song also made a strange move.
Hit Su Shi Lie Dalu by surprise.
No one expected that the battle to defend the city could be fought like this.
On the second day of the attack and defense of Xiangyang, Fu Shi Lietaru continued to attack the city according to yesterday's policy, but planned to reduce the intensity of the siege to consume Xiangyang.
There were no reinforcements in Xiangyang anyway.
But I never dreamed that before the siege began, the west gate of Xiangyang suddenly opened.
A cannon rang out.
Two cavalry generals led 2,000 infantry troops to slaughter suddenly.
This made the Jin soldiers who were forming a siege formation stunned, and when the Jin soldiers reacted, the Song soldiers had already attacked the front of the formation.
The results can be imagined.
One side is well-prepared and goes all out.
On one side is a formation ready to attack the city, which can withstand this round of impact......
After a contact battle, the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army did not fall in love with the battle, and quickly broke off and withdrew to Xiangyang City.
Five or six hundred corpses of Jin soldiers and more than 100 corpses of Song soldiers were left on the battlefield.
Su Shi Lie Dalu was at a loss for this, what kind of trouble was this Nima Song soldier going to make, he came out and ran back after a walk, although the battle damage reached 1 to 5, but their move had no impact on the battle situation at all.
On second thought, this is an opportunity!
The Song soldiers used two thousand to harass a circle, then the troops defending the city will be even less, and it is a good time to attack the city.
So the order was given to attack the city.
But I never thought that when the first round of siege was in full swing, the north gate of Xiangyang was opened again, and two thousand Song troops went out of the city, and this time there was no small fight, and after clearing the foot soldiers and shield soldiers under the north gate with lightning speed, more than ten siege vehicles, wells and ladders were burned with a fire.
Just as the Jin soldiers rushed over to annihilate the two thousand Song soldiers and then take the north gate, the two thousand people retreated back to Xiangyang City as fast as lightning.
Leave Jin Bing to scold his mother under the city.
Fu Shi Lie Dalu finally understood Song Bing's intentions.
This Nima just doesn't let Lao Tzu attack the city well.
Moreover, this hand is ruthless, and every time he goes out of the city, he can receive miraculous results, not only has a battle loss of up to 1 to 5, but also greatly shakes the morale of his own soldiers.
In other words, you can rest assured that while you are concentrating on the siege of the city, you have to beware of the sudden rush of an army from a certain city gate from the opposite side?
The key is that the Song soldiers also avoided the south gate where the Thousand Iron Floating Massacre was located.
In this way, the infantry army against the infantry army, and then the unexpected lightning attack, it is a headache.
This happens several times a day.
Su Shilie replied that Lu Xue was obedient, and in the afternoon, he would collect his troops, so he would attack Mao's city, don't look at the Song soldiers every time they went out of the city, they only killed four or five hundred, but after a few times, this battle damage was quite terrifying.
Before I thought of cracking this hand, this city could not be attacked.
But what Su Shilie didn't expect was that he didn't attack the city, but the Song army attacked himself instead: less than an hour after collecting the corpse, when the army was building a stove to cook, the Song army went out of the city again!
Fortunately, he had already prepared, and when he was arraying, he saw this group of Song troops come out, shot a round of crossbow arrows, turned around and slipped back to Xiangyang City.
Only fifty or sixty corpses of Jin soldiers and hundreds of arrows were left on the position.
What made Su Shilie's nose almost crooked was that among the hundreds of arrows, most of them were arrows shot into Xiangyang City by his own side, which were picked up by the other party and used.
What a deception!
In the end, he could only choose to gather his forces and concentrate his forces to attack the north and east gates of Xiangyang.
But on the third day, when the Jin army attacked the city at the north gate of the east gate, the Song army came out of the west gate with 2,000 troops, and after harassing a circle, they swaggered back to Xiangyang City.
The meaning is obvious, it is a siege that does not make you happy.
This continues...... Fu Shi Lietaru was a little helpless, and finally redeployed his troops and horses to attack the north gate with all his might.
On both sides of the siege army, each placed 500 iron floating slaughter, and then each with 2,000 soldiers to defend to prevent the Song soldiers from harassing like this, and the remaining more than 10,000 troops all attacked the north gate of Xiangyang.
In this way, I got out of the predicament.
But Su Shi Lie Talu immediately found out that he had been fooled, and his change of formation like this was exactly the situation that the defenders of Xiangyang wanted to see!
More than 10,000 foot soldiers attacked the north gate, how could they break the city wall of Xiangyang guarded by seven or eight thousand guards?
What's more, there is such a huge urn city.
For a while, Fu Shi Lieda Lu had some pain, so he could only reduce the intensity of the siege, and before he thought of a feasible siege plan, he consumed Xiangyang first.
It's just a symbolic attack once or twice a day.
There was no symbolic siege of the city, but the defenders of Xiangyang were also shameless, and they had to come out on a small scale every day to harass them, and even organized a death squad of 300 people - the purpose was very simple, to kill the war horses without killing people.
If there were no heavy cavalry to defend the two wings, the harassment of the defenders of Xiangyang would be more pleasant.
However, what makes Su Shi Lie Zhining cry and laugh is that this Nima is also a death squad?
As soon as he saw that he was on guard, he immediately ran away, and he couldn't catch up, and the loss of Tiefutu's war horses was only seven or eight...... Who is this Nima Xiangyang guard?
Is there such a war with you?
Isn't that child's play?
And there is no rhythm as a soldier anymore!
This went from an offensive and defensive war to a war of attrition...... In the short term, it is basically impossible to capture Xiangyang.
……
……
As the Xiangyang war report was transmitted to Jiankang through the flying pigeon and then delivered to Lin'an, the reputation of Lu Zhen, the defender of Xiangyang, became famous in the court for a while.
In the offensive and defensive battle on the first day of Xiangyang, Sima Guanyue, the deputy commander of the Guanghua Army, died heroically, and Zhang Mingyi was ill and unconscious to pacify him.
And this little soldier named Lu Zhen personally led the troops, and together with his wife and brother Wei Shusheng, he went out of the city every day to attack the Jin soldiers, forcing the Jin soldiers to change their formation, which brought a good situation to Xiangyang.
This merit is so great that it is almost not lost to Zongping Chunfeng Crossing the great victory.
You must know that if Xiangyang can't hold on, the Jinghu North Road, which is empty of soldiers and horses, will also be coveted by Su Shilie Dalu.
Such a ploy seems simple.
But if you think about it, it's wonderful: how many people dare to adopt this strategy of attacking for reaping the city when the defense is at a disadvantage?
It takes a lot of heart to dare this.
Xiangyang City General Peng Jianqing and Prefect Di Feisheng were bold enough to agree to this strategic plan.
For such a great achievement, the court naturally wants to reward it.
However, we have to wait until the danger of Xiangyang is completely eliminated, after all, the Jin army is in front of the city, everything is possible, but no matter what happens in the end, as long as Lu Zhen is still alive, this person will inevitably be promoted and raised to the peak of his life.
