Chapter 230 Attacking Yuncheng with troops is not a good thing
"Commander, give me thousands of troops. I will capture Yuncheng County and kill Pi Guangqiu. I will definitely bring his head to see you." Zhu Biao stood up and clasped his fists in excitement and said: "Now Yun The people in the city and county were counting on the men and horses of Pi Guangqiu, but he was defeated here. He was just a frightened bird with a weak force. I am most familiar with Yuncheng County, and going to the city overnight is not a problem,"
Shi Jin looked at Zhu Biao's determined look and liked his vigor from the bottom of his heart. But after all, he didn't know Zhu Biao well. Although he was very capable and had led Zhuang Ding. , but the battles of guarding the home and guarding the courtyard are nothing compared to the siege of the city. Although he is similar in age to himself, Shi Jin does not think that Zhu Biao has the leadership ability to fight alone to siege the city, but Zhu Biao's opinion Shi Jin But he agrees, and this opportunity is really rare, especially when Zhu Biao mentioned a key point in his words, Pi Guangqiu, the life-saving straw that Yuncheng County finally hoped for, has become a frightened bird, afraid of shrinking. I dare not come out of the city.
Shi Jin was silent for a moment and said: "Sieging a city is no better than fighting in the field. You can't break through the city defenses that are several feet thick without showing off your personal skills. These are secondary. Right now, you are injured, and the soldiers and horses here are also It is far less than what is needed to attack the city. Come with me and go back first so that we can make a decision and then think about it."
Zhu Biao not only wanted to kill Pi Guangqiu to avenge himself, but also wanted to make Hu Sanniang happy, but most importantly, he wanted to dedicate a city to Shi Jin to prove his outstanding abilities and join the Green Forest Army. However, Shi Jin obviously wanted to consider the matter more comprehensively than him at the moment, so he tactfully dealt with his self-recommendation, which somewhat made Zhu Biao feel a little disappointed.
Hu Sanniang had not experienced any war disasters. Naturally, like Zhu Biao, she was blind when it came to conquering cities and territories. She took it for granted. She did not understand what Shi Jin did not want to say directly, and only took the literal meaning of Shi Jin's words seriously. Seeing that Shi Jin took Lin Chong and Zhu Biao to say goodbye, then stood up and said, "Commander, why don't you let me go to Yuncheng County?"
Grand Duke Hu was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "Girl, what are you talking about?"
Hu Sanniang said straightforwardly: "Biaozi is injured and is tired today. It is really difficult to go out. But I still have a family feud to avenge today. Don't think I am a prostitute. But in terms of fists, feet, bows and horses, I am not inferior to you." My husband, not to mention that he has lived for twenty years and knows Yuncheng County like the back of his hand. He naturally knows where the city is thin and where it is thick."
Hu Taigong loved his daughter like the apple of his eye, and he would let her do whatever she wanted as long as she was happy. When he passed on his skills to Hu Cheng, Sanniang Hu liked it, so Hu Taigong let her do the same, watching and watching cats and tigers all day long. , who would have imagined that Hu Cheng did not succeed, but Hu Sanniang took over his mantle. Although Hu Taigong was pleased at that time, he was also worried. After all, girls dancing with guns and sticks are not as good as embroidering in the boudoir. But now, what Taigong Hu was worried about has really come true. However, he never thought that the daughter he brought out would not only go to the battlefield, but also attack the imperial city. If something goes wrong, he himself How can this old heart bear it, and how can it explain it to my wife who is so under the clouds?
Grand Duke Hu was not willing to let Sanniang Hu go, which Shi Jin could tell, so he turned around and said with a smile: "The Hu family village still needs your help to take care of it. I will leave this matter of revenge to the man. I am happy to do it for you." Shi Jin This is a play-to-get argument, and it really violates Hu Sanniang's taboo. She hates it when others deliberately protect her because she is a woman. These are somewhat humiliating in her opinion. In some aspects, Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao's temperament But they are so similar that it's so strange that they can't make a marriage contract. Presumably the quarrels in appearance are just superficial, and there is a deep love.
Shi Jin thought like this, and Hu Sanniang said as expected: "Hujiazhuang is naturally taken care of by my brother Hu Cheng, and if Pi Guangqiu wants to kill the people of Hujiazhuang, I must kill him with my own hands."
"Girl, don't act recklessly. Although you have learned from your father's family tradition, you are not fighting against each other after all. Although Pi Guangqiu lost a lot of people here, he will definitely close the city gates and tighten defense when he returns. You can lead the troops. No matter how hard you beat him in, he won't be able to get out no matter how much you yell at him. They also have strong bows and crossbows on the top of the city tower, as well as wooden and gray bottles. They can all be beaten down and you can't even touch the city gate. This is one side. , Furthermore, how do you direct thousands of people to attack a city? If they are in chaos without any rules, not only will they not have the desired effect, but they will lead to more troubles. Alas... The siege of a city must not only be strong, but also tricky. There is a mystery in this. "It can't be explained clearly in just a few words," Hu Taigong said, but he did not make Hu Sanniang change his mind. Instead, he made Zhu Biao understand the situation, which made Shi Jin look at the old Master Hu with admiration.
Hu Sanniang insisted on going, and the owner of Hu Village was extremely helpless. Shi Jin stood up and reconciled and said: "If Hu Sanniang insists on going, that's fine, but you have to promise me a few things."
"Then you want me to slash Pi Guangqiu,"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Not only can you go with him, but Zhu Biao can also go, but this time you two will go with the army, mainly to observe the battle, and to follow the arrangements when taking action. You two need to control your emotions and absolutely obey Can you make these arrangements?"
"I don't care about the rest. As long as Pi Guangqiu is left to me, I will take all these," Hu Sanniang glanced at Zhu Biao, then turned her gaze back to Shi Jin and said.
Shi Jin nodded and faced Taigong Hu and said, "Old owner of the village, I will be here with you. You boss can rest assured that I will definitely take care of her safety."
Seeing that Taigong Hu has already spoken, there is no way to stop him with words. What happened today, the government has forced everyone in Hujiazhuang to go against the path. If they don't join the Green Forest Army, they will definitely be dead in the future. It's a pity for themselves. He is old, and the wounds he suffered from a gun and stick when he was young made him unable to mount a horse, and his son is not the material to lead soldiers in war. Only such a daughter has become a leader, and now she has grown up. It is obviously impossible to restrain her and stay by his side. Okay, Taigong Hu sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that no one has his or her own destiny, so let’s go as it is. Taigong Hu stood up and said solemnly: “The general is worried, the matter is over, from now on. Everyone in Hujiazhuang hopes that the commander will take him in."
Shi Jin said: "Old owner, don't worry. You can rebuild your home with peace of mind. Yunzhou is so rich and handsome, so don't worry about the officers and soldiers causing trouble."
Hu Taigong has experienced the world for a long time. Hearing Shi Jin's words, he knew the weight of these simple words. He thanked him again. Shi Jin took Lin Chong, Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang to leave Hujiazhuang and led Green Forest Camp. The brothers returned to the Green Forest Army Camp. By this time, the banquet had already been laid out, and Song Jiang and others had already arrived. When the four of them came back, everyone's anxious hearts suddenly calmed down.
All the generals were concerned about what happened in Hujiazhuang, so Shi Jin gave a brief summary. When he talked about Zhu Biao going deep alone and fighting to the death, everyone was excited. They said Zhu Biao was a tough guy, and Lin Chong should be able to lead the troops. First aid, when the remnants of the officers and soldiers were wiped out in a wave, everyone shouted in joy. However, when they finally heard that the general led a team of soldiers and horses to escape, it was not as beheading and cramping as everyone expected, and they were really a little stunned. But after Shi Jin said this, he kept silent about his plan to attack Yuncheng County. It is inevitable that there are ears between walls at this wine table, which is not the place to talk. If the news leaks out, it will be of no benefit to anyone.
Although Shi Jin was so careful, during the banquet celebrating the turning of hostilities between Shanzhai and Sanzhuang into friendship, Shi Jin still told Song Jiang about his plan to attack Yuncheng County. Amidst the joy of exchanging cups for cups, Song Jiang immediately felt With a plan in mind, he lost consecutive battles down the mountain this time, but when he said the absolute words in front of Chao Gai in the village, "We will not return until the Three Villages are defeated," this was a dilemma. Who would have thought that Shi Jin would be at such a critical juncture? Although he came, he saved the emergency, but he also took the credit. Now what Song Jiang wants most is to establish his authority in Liangshan. In this way, Shi Jin got an advantage. At present, Song Jiang has no merit at all, so he just returns to the mountain. Embarrassing, I was worried about this matter last night. What Shi Jin said today is exactly what he wanted.
"Brother Gongming, I plan to take action tonight, but I don't have enough troops right now, so I still need my brother's help," Shi Jin said roughly.
Song Jiang put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I am most familiar with Yuncheng County, and I am most familiar with the city's defenses. There were only a few thousand people here at the beginning, and I thought they would not dare to intervene in Sanzhuang's affairs. Now, Since my brother has defeated the reinforcements, the officers and soldiers in the city will definitely defend. As the saying goes, don’t fight when a trapped beast is trapped, and don’t chase after a poor bandit. I think the city is not easy to fight, so I’m afraid it will be bad for my brother to leave.” Although Song Jiang said this, he still felt in his heart. It was another plan. He, Song Jiang, could only understand what was going on in Yuncheng County. Those officers and soldiers received military pay but did not work hard. They often caused troubles and beatings, and even one or two cases of robbery and rape every month. There are cases when things go wrong in the government. Those ruffians in the army can suppress the people, but not in war. There are very few ordinary drills. Gambling and prostitution are very popular in the military camp. The body is a lot of drunkenness, but there is something in the eyes. They only care about money. Such soldiers and horses are no match for Liangshan's soldiers and horses. Song Jiang's words were deliberately told to Shi Jin, but in fact he knew that it was very easy to attack the city.
Although Shi Jin did not know the actual situation of the troops stationed in Yuncheng County, he did know some truth. The reinforcements sent by the government were defeated. The soldiers stationed in the city were frightened from top to bottom. Shi Jin planned As long as two thousand men and horses fight in formation in front, they will spread out behind, hoist more flags, and beat drums everywhere. This will increase the momentum and will inevitably disintegrate the defenders' thoughts. When the time comes, smash one of the gates and Those defenders must have fled in panic, and there may be unintended consequences of defeating the enemy without fighting. Shi Jin did not say this, because when he saw Song Jiang's face, he did not look worried, and there was some joy in his eyebrows. This Shi Jin Without much thought, he could guess what Song Jiang was thinking, and he immediately said: "In this case, I also promised to avenge Hujiazhuang. This Yuncheng County must be attacked. I hope brother Gongming can help me."
Shi Jin's words touched Song Jiang's heart and said: "You were the one who did the hard work in the previous battles. Leave it to me this time. My brothers are gearing up and already want to have a big fight." After that, Song Jiang stood up immediately.
When Shi Jin saw this, he was shocked and felt bad, but he couldn't stop him anymore.
Song Jiang picked up the wine bowl, and all eyes at the banquet immediately fell on Song Jiang. Song Jiang spoke with great pride: "Brothers, can you bear it when officers and soldiers massacre villages?"
"cannot,"
"To avenge bloodshed and conquer Yuncheng, who will come with me?"
"I'll go," Li Kui led everyone to stand up and shouted.
"Okay," Song Jiang heard that his morale was high, and he was immediately elated, but Shi Jin, who was beside him, secretly shouted, "Okay."
