A young general who was following him said that as he led Zhang Jian and rushed out of the city.
"What?"
Zhang Jian had a bitter look on his face when he heard that this was possible.
This Su Shi's military tactics are really strange, making it difficult for people to guard against him.
At this moment, Zhang Jian somewhat understood Liu Liufu. He must have been tortured like this by Su Shi, and he eventually died of anger and illness.
He didn't want to follow Liu Liufu's footsteps. Thinking like this, Zhang Jian said: "Come on, rush out from the north city gate and enter the hinterland of Daliao."
While talking, Zhang Jian comforted himself, I'm not angry, I'm not angry.
Regardless of whether Zhang Jian is really angry or not, this cannot change the fact that Song Jun entered the new city for the second time.
In addition to the lack of defense, a large number of Song troops poured in from outside the city. These civilian soldiers killed everyone on sight. Even many Liao troops shouted surrender because of fear, and they were not spared.
This is an army driven crazy by Su Shi. These common people only know that they can get rewards from Su Shi if they have military exploits.
This was enough. They were really hungry and scared. Now they could exchange their military exploits for food, and they could be cared for if they died in battle. They had no choice but to sacrifice their lives.
And even though they knew it would be very dangerous to risk their lives, the civilian soldiers still charged fiercely because if they could kill an enemy before dying, they would get double the reward.
Double that.
Because of his own hard work, his family members who stayed in Da Song Dynasty may not have to face hunger for the next few months, even half a year or a year.
All they had to pay was their lives.
Maybe modern people don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, at least they don’t know how to meet
Faced with the real dilemma of not having enough to eat, one cannot imagine the inhuman experience of a person going without food for several days and eating only dirt. But for the people of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, they would rather be a ghost than die because of
Afraid of death and living in chaos.
People in this era can go to great lengths just for a bite to eat.
In other words, sometimes even if they risk their lives, they may not be able to get a bite to eat. This is because Su Shi gave them the chance to risk their lives.
There were only more than 60,000 civilian troops left, and they poured into the new city one by one like tigers. They may have mediocre personal strength, but they couldn't handle the large number of people and dared to use their lives. In addition, they had beaten the Liao army by surprise, even if
When the war broke out, many Liao soldiers still looked like they were still awake.
Calculation of intention and lack of intention.
The advantage of military strength was there. After only a slight resistance, the Liao soldiers retreated steadily. The whole city was filled with the corpses of dead Liao soldiers.
Even when they died, none of these Liao soldiers had their right ears attached to their heads.
There is no way, Su Shi stipulated that a person's right ear is a witness to military achievements. According to this rule, even if the Liao soldiers died, they would not be able to obtain a true whole body.
Zhang Jian had a special status, and there were people protecting him along the way. He fought his way out of the new city, and then headed straight to the north. Xu Ba, who had been ambushing here, finally had a place to use.
Xu Ba was really shocked when he saw the fire in the new city.
He really didn't expect that Su Shi would be so bold as to attack Xincheng a second time.
He did not expect it, and the Liao army must not have imagined that at this moment, Xu Ba admired Su Shi from the bottom of his heart.
When he saw many Liao soldiers coming towards him,
At that moment, Xu Ba gave an order, and ten thousand reserve imperial troops who had been waiting here rushed out from both sides of the road.
The process of beating up a drowned dog is very satisfying.
When the Liao soldiers were all soldiers, they had already lost their organizational structure and their fighting spirit, and they were the kind of people who were allowed to be massacred by the Song army.
With almost no casualties themselves, the 10,000 reserve imperial troops killed nearly 10,000 Liao soldiers, winning their first victory since arriving on the battlefield, and it was a great victory.
Nearly 20,000 people were lost in the city, and another 10,000 were lost after leaving the city. Zhang Jian led only 10,000 Liao soldiers to break out of the encirclement and continue to move north. At this time, the black cavalry and the first and second brigades were already waiting here to start.
Take action.
Three lines of defense were placed here, and all ten thousand Liao soldiers were killed or injured.
In the end, the 40,000 Liao army was almost wiped out, except for Zhang Jian who escaped into the nearby forest one step ahead.
In the two battles in the new city, Su Shi first grabbed food and then killed people. Su Shi's arrogant tactics severely damaged the Liao army in the southern region of Liao. After this battle, Su Shi had no opponent in the nearby cities. And even if Liao would send reinforcements,
That will be at least half a month later.
And this half month was the half month that Su Shi carried out the raid.
The army under his command was divided into hundreds of teams and began to attack the Liao cities, villages and towns in this area.
In the southern border of the Liao Kingdom, there were wailing sounds and fireworks rising everywhere, as if the end was coming.
...
Xincheng, or the entire southern part of the Liao Kingdom, was in chaos.
However, such an important thing happened, but the 100,000 Liao troops still in the west of the northern border of Song Dynasty were completely unaware of it.
All this is because of Hu Yunfeng's action, under the Phoenix Mountain
It cut off the connection between the Liao Kingdom and the 100,000 troops it sent.
On that day, Chu Guo followed Chen Jiu to Phoenix Mountain. Soon after, Feng Meng, Su Shi's representative, also appeared at the foot of the mountain. He also brought with him an edict from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty conferring Su Shi the title of General Zhongwu.
The edicts were all brought, which was enough to prove the identities of Chu Guo, Feng Meng and others. Hu Yunfeng's troops were then temporarily organized into the third brigade of the Black Cavalry.
This is a group of bandits, and they are bandits from the Liao region.
With the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military force, it would be very difficult for Hu Yunfeng and others to join the Song army.
Even if they really join, they are afraid that someone will give them little shoes to wear. After Chu Guo solicited the opinions of Hu Yunfeng, Chen Jiu, Ji Qing and others, Feng Meng announced that Hu Yunfeng's men would collectively join the Black Cavalry.
, became the temporary third brigade.
The reason why it is said to be the temporary third team is because they want to see the next performance of Hu Yunfeng's team.
Black Cavalry is not just for anyone who wants to join. If you don't have the strength, you won't be recognized, and you will probably end up disbanding with a sum of money after the war.
It is definitely an opportunity for him to join the Black Riders. Even if he still needs to be tested, Hu Yunfeng does not have any objections.
If you want to gain true respect from the bottom of your heart, you need to be strong enough. But do Hu Yunfeng and the others have the strength?
The answer is of course.
Being able to dominate the mountains in the Liao region and remain the king despite dozens of encirclements and suppressions by the Liao army, relying on this, they have their own way of survival.
Becoming the temporary third brigade, the first task Hu Yunfeng and the others received was to blockade Phoenix Mountain.
Before Su Shi's order, no Liao soldiers could pass through here. No matter whether they were going to Song Dynasty or returning to Liao Dynasty.
This was also a test for Hu Yunfeng's troops. In order to prove himself, Hu Yunfeng led more than 2,000 brothers to set up more than 30 blockades at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, completely cutting off the connection between the Liao Kingdom and the 100,000-sent army.
...
Bianliang City.
A thousand Xixia captives headed by Gu Le have been sent to the West. Wen Yanbo, the political advisor, and Jiang Gu, the minister of Honglu Temple, personally went to the location of the Western Army to negotiate with Xixia about the prisoners.
But this didn't happen overnight.
And until the Xixia people were stabilized, the Western Army could not act rashly. At this moment, the Song Dynasty could only wait.
As for the situation in Xinzhou in the north, we can only pray that Wang Deyong and Wang Xin can persist until reinforcements arrive.
While waiting, the atmosphere above the court was very solemn. Even the official Zhao Zhen had not had a smile on his face for who knows how many days.
But today, the situation has changed.
The first change was made by the third commander, Song Chu.
Before Wen Yanbo and others went to the Western Army, they told him to prepare enough food and wages in case the Western Army sent troops to the north.
It's weird for Song Chu to look good if he is allowed to take money from outside.
When going to court these days, Song Itch looked at everyone as if they owed him money, and he never had a good face. But today, when Su Shi sent the first batch of several carts worth of gold and silver worth 400,000 yuan to Song
When he felt the itching, his complexion changed from gloomy to clear, and he started to smile.
"Haha, General Zhongwu is still capable, General Zhongwu is great."
"If everyone could
Like a loyal general, why worry about the Song Dynasty not being strong?"
When they saw Yin Zi, Song Chu opened his mouth to say nice things, which made Du Feng, who was escorting the gold and silver, a little embarrassed.
"Sir, this is a letter from our general to you." After Du Feng took out Su Shi's secret letter from his arms, he turned around and left. He was really afraid that if he stayed, the goosebumps on his body would fall to the ground.
Song Chu, who was in a great mood, turned into a loudspeaker and praised Su Shi as being rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.
He would always talk about Su Shi's power when meeting people, and from time to time he would use guns and sticks in his words to refer to those people who stretched out their hands randomly, saying that these people are a bunch of trash.
People who are only jealous of others but have no abilities themselves should be taken out and chopped down. Living is a waste of food, gold and silver.
The Third Secretary belongs to a very special existence.
Except for officials, they don't need to sell anyone else's face.
Of course, with Song Chu around, sometimes the official Zhao Zhen's face is not very good. But who knows that he really manages the treasury very well. Even Zhao Zhen cherishes such talents and will not find them easily.
His trouble.
Just like now, Song Chu hinted that some of his husbands were trash, and Zhao Zhen just laughed after hearing this. What he was thinking about now was why Su Shi went to the southern border of Liao.
The siege of Xinzhou has not yet been resolved. Shouldn't Su Shi go to relieve the siege?
With all kinds of confusion, Zhao Zhen called Li Di, the prince and tutor, and also an important minister on the same front as Su Shi.
Also called at the same time was Deputy Privy Envoy Bao Zheng.
Zhao Zhen did not call others because he knew that those people were prejudiced against Su Shi.
While we were talking, things got weird. On the contrary, these two people did not have any envy or jealousy. These two people really analyzed the problem from Su Shi's point of view.
