Although Zhong Xiang has always been not truly loyal, in many of his ideas he is even completely contrary to Liu Xing and the current Great Song court.

But there is one thing that Zhong Xiang is extremely accepting and has been following since he started his army.

What is it? That is the new tactics and tactics of Liu Xing and the generals of the Northern Dynasties who used firearms as a magic weapon to win in actual combat.

Besieging the city and sending reinforcements, that was a tactic commonly used by Zhong Xiang when he saw King Xin's army cleaning up the gold soldiers on the northern battlefield. It's just that in the past, the Xinwang army was more of a "siege point reinforcement", which was a method of encircling the enemy in a field battle, attracting reinforcements, and then destroying the reinforcements first and then breaking the besieged enemy.

This method of warfare was used by Zhong Xiang, because the army he led had long been mainly attacking cities and conquering cities, and there were few field battles to encircle the enemy. Therefore, after he made changes, he was already familiar with the changed method of besieging the city and fighting for help.

Where are enemy reinforcements likely to arrive on the battlefield, where may be the focus of enemy reinforcement assaults, and how to lure enemy reinforcements. As soon as the king of Linyi County blocked the north and west gates of Thang Long City according to his orders, Zhong Xiang immediately sent him the whole strategy.

After reading Zhong Xiang's battle strategy, King Linyi was in awe of Zhong Xiang, who was always preaching Manichaeism and more like a wizard, for the first time from the bottom of his heart.

According to Zhong Xiang's instructions, King Linyi quickly completed the deployment. Outside Thang Long City, he used 1,000 firearms as the main force, supplemented by 2,000 pony cavalry and 2,000 shield crossbowmen, and transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses of the same configuration from the east gate to return to the north gate.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the north gate, after the 5,000 soldiers at the east gate rushed back, the king of Linyi ordered them to retreat collectively. Later, 5,000 men marched south around the city from the western coast and divided into two teams to set up an ambush at two key points on the southeast coast of Thang Long City.

The remaining 5,000 people, King Linyi did not completely distribute them according to Zhong Xiang's instructions, but let them retreat and rest.

Why did King Lin Yi still make a disobedient move when he knew that Zhong Xiang's battle method could be won? That's because he doesn't have the confidence of Zhong Xiang, and he knows that there are now 240,000 troops of the Li Dynasty in Thang Long City.

Even if the emperor of the Li Dynasty only mobilized tens of thousands of people. Launching a breakthrough battle like a warrior at the same time towards a certain point in the northeast and north gates that he was responsible for defending, King Linyi had no confidence that he could block the counterattack of the crowd.

Therefore, the king of Linyi used the five thousand men as a reserve soldier and kept them as a soldier and horse. Of course, King Linyi also has another thought, that is, to leave a backup hand for his future plot to counterattack Zhong Xiang and seize the throne of Annam......

When King Linyi made troop adjustments and preliminarily completed the deployment of ambushes and reinforcements on the east road, what about Zhong Xiang? He wants others to besiege the city and send reinforcements, doesn't he make any moves himself?

Of course, Zhong Xiangyuan was much more confident than King Linyi, after all, among the 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, there were both firearms and artillery, as well as some bazookas and a large number of flame bombs equipped with his army.

Because of the large number of firearms, Zhong Xiang's deployment was to leave 5,000 people at the west gate and 5,000 at the south gate. The other 30,000 troops were quickly divided into nine routes and scattered out, and only one route of 3,000 men and horses remained by his side to become reservists and serve as his forbidden army.

As soon as Zhong Xiang adjusted like this, for a while, there was a burst of people roaring and neighing in the plains and valleys in the southeast and southeast of Shenglong Mansion. After a burst of hustle and bustle, the soldiers and horses of the Nine Routes that Zhong Xiangsa had sent out captured four small cities and five key places in the southeast and southeast of Thang Long Mansion in one day.

When night fell, Zhong Xiang completed his strategic deployment, and that night he actually did a shameful thing: he took all the more than 3,000 Annan women he had captured into his forbidden army marshal's tent, stripped all those Annan women naked, and held a "night banquet for monarchs and ministers".

The three thousand fruit girls were returned by **** at the "Junchen Night Banquet", and at noon the next day, Zhong Xiang actually ordered all the three thousand women to be killed in a valley northeast of Thang Long City.

Indulging in alcohol before the battle is a taboo for soldiers, and killing women is also a taboo.

Zhong Xiang not only committed a taboo, but also took his 3,000 forbidden troops to wantonly **** naked fruit body Annam woman. After indulging in heavy drinking, he buried all the 3,000 women alive. As soon as the news spread the next day, it immediately aroused the anger of the whole country of Annan.

As a result, there were still many tribes and many local generals who did not call the Emperor of the Li Dynasty. After learning the news that Zhong Xiang was so wanton **** his female compatriots, he set up more than 300 banners of the Qin Wang Army outside Thang Long City in one day......

Outside, more than 300 Lu Qin Wang's troops sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and quickly came towards Thang Long City, but the Emperor of the Li Dynasty in the city did not know the news.

The emperor of the Li Dynasty, who did not know the outside situation, resolutely issued an order on the day when King Qin's army rose one after another, and as expected by the king of Linyi, he sent out 100,000 troops to break through from the east gate and the south gate respectively.

Breaking through, for the Annan people, breaking through is tantamount to seeking their own death. After all, Annam is actually a descendant of the Central Plains, and since the Han Dynasty, he has been receiving the influence of Confucianism almost synchronously with the Central Plains. The king told the minister to die, how dare the minister not die, the king's order was issued, and the 100,000 Annan soldiers rushed out of the city gate knowing that they would die.

On the one hand, they are advanced in their own firearms and have no fear, but on the other hand, they are determined to die, and everyone has no fear. As soon as the two armies confronted each other in this way, an unusually tragic battle was staged outside the east and south gates of Thang Long City in an instant.

The little emperor Li Yanghuan of the Li Dynasty in the city expected that his soldiers and horses could break through a bloody road, but the new king Zhong Xiang outside the city was waiting for Li Yanghuan to send troops.

When the two armies were fighting in full swing at the east gate and the south gate, and the battle quickly entered a scorching state, Zhong Xiang, who had been prepared, suddenly made a tactical adjustment, withdrew a group of 3,000 soldiers and horses from a small county town nearest to Shenglong in the bureau, and directly killed the relatively weakest outside the east gate to support King Linyi.

As for himself, he took the so-called forbidden army, which had just eaten and drunk enough and killed 3,000 Annan women, to replace the 3,000 soldiers who had been transferred to the battlefield of Huilong, and stationed in that small county town.

The two armies fought fiercely, but Zhong Xiang chose to retreat and hide dozens of miles away from the battlefield to continue drinking and indulging, wasn't he afraid that he would be really driven out of his encirclement by Li Yanghuan's soldiers and horses?

He was not afraid, because he had already secretly sent people to the Annan army that might break through the city and the Qinwang army who might rush to support him when he was indulgent.

What kind of gift? That is when Zhong Xiang was in Guangxi, he learned the production method from some soldiers under the command of Xiongshan people, and began to build a "rolling mine" before leaving Guangxi. (To be continued.) )
