Chapter 1402: Fierce battle in Xiangyang City, Cheng Yuhu’s achievements
After two days of repairs by the Song army, the army gathered together and took the initiative to attack the Jin soldiers outside Xiangyang City!
At the beginning, Shen Tang sent out 3,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. While the Jin soldiers rushed to attack Xiangyang City, they also sent out soldiers and horses to fight against Shen Tang's Song army!
The battle lasted for a whole day. This was probably the most difficult battle the Song army had encountered since arriving in Xiangyang! Although it was not as severe as Fengxiang Mansion, both sides had their own injuries!
The battle outside the city also made the defenders inside the city excited! After all, this was the first time reinforcements appeared after the siege.
That night, all the military generals in Xiangyang City gathered together to discuss the matter!
"Can you clearly see who the reinforcements outside the city are?"
A general asked aloud.
The general responsible for guarding the city shook his head, "I don't know for the time being. The Jin soldiers' camps are many miles away, and we can't see clearly what banner the reinforcements are using! However, according to my guess, it will be the commander-in-chief leading the troops. Come!”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the hall had different expressions!
"You mean Commander Shen Tang?"
The general nodded, "That's right! I, Xiangyang, have been besieged for many days, and I have a deep understanding of the strength of the Jin soldiers! At least, I can't think of any of the soldiers around me who dare to attack the Jin soldiers head-on! Moreover, before we After discussion, even if the imperial court mobilizes troops from other places, it will not be so timely. Furthermore, even if troops from other places come, they may not dare to go deep into the Xiangyang area due to the threat of Jin soldiers and cavalry. !”
"Only a commander-in-chief, who not only wields troops like a god, but also has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, can have such courage and strength!"
"But shouldn't the commander be fighting fiercely with Jin Bing in Fengxiang Mansion?"
"In the battle of Fengxiang Prefecture, not only was there a commander-in-chief, but also Prime Minister Zhang was in charge! Coupled with the soldiers and horses of Sichuan, Shu and Chengdu Prefecture, it is not surprising that it was a great victory over the Jin soldiers.
Therefore, it is very likely that our Song Dynasty has already won in Fengxiang Mansion, and then the general sent his troops to break the siege of Xiangyang!"
The conversation between these two generals made many other generals nod their heads! It is indeed the case. Now, Wanyan Hao, the commander of the Jin army, led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Xiangyang. Except for Shen Tang, they really wanted to There is no one else who dares to lead troops here.
"Since the commander-in-chief is here, should we increase our troops?
Put more pressure on the Jin soldiers and let them know that there is no hope of defeating the city! Even if we can open the city gate, lead the troops to rush to kill several times, and attack with the general from inside and outside, I am afraid that the Jin soldiers will retreat on their own!"
"this……"
"It is not difficult to increase our troops. We have gathered some loyal warriors in the city, and our troops are still sufficient for the time being.
However, it is still extremely dangerous to open the city gate! After all, the Jin soldiers are not in chaos now, and if it is not possible for them to enter the city, it will be a bad thing! Therefore, it is better to be safe!"
The generals discussed it for a long time, and then looked at Xin Feiguang!
Xin Feiguang's eyes were a little gloomy, and he was thinking secretly in his heart! In fact, he also guessed that Shen Tang should be here! After all, Shen Tang's ability to command troops and horses has been proven through battles! Therefore, he did not win the victory of Fengxiang Mansion. Not surprising! But if Shen Tang really comes, he must find a way to increase his status and strength before Shen Tang enters the city!
He does not believe that Shen Tang is so generous that he has forgotten the grudge between the two! Now that Shen Tang is in charge of the military, it would be easy to deal with him!
After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Opening the city gate is dangerous, as it will give the Jin people an opportunity to take advantage! However, it doesn't hurt to add some more soldiers and horses to the city wall for the time being.
As for the movement outside the city, we don’t need to pay attention to it for the time being! We only need to defend the city, and we will have done a great job!"
"The Jin soldiers have been attacking for many days and still can't make any achievements. This may not be their plan! Therefore, unless we are completely sure, even if the world is turned upside down, it has nothing to do with us!"
Having said this, he looked around at the generals and spoke slowly again, "In addition, this general is not overthinking it! We all know how important Xiangyang City is! Once Xiangyang is lost, the entire Xiangfan and Jingchu area will no longer be able to resist
The barrier of the Jin soldiers! The Jin cavalry can ride south and directly attack many important places and hinterlands of our Song Dynasty! By then, the Song Dynasty will be in danger! Therefore, for the sake of Xiangyang, the Jin people may use any means!"
"I don't want to doubt the commander-in-chief, but if I remember correctly, the commander-in-chief of the famous mansion, Wan Yan Hao, the commander-in-chief this time, and the commander-in-chief are the son-in-law!"
"Family and country are more important than ever. Since ancient times, we have both..."
After saying that, his words stopped abruptly, "Okay, all colleagues, get ready! Tomorrow, we will continue to defend the city!"
After Xin Feiguang left, the generals looked at each other with different expressions! They naturally trusted Shen Tang! Moreover, since the emperor personally ordered Shen Tang to be the commander-in-chief, he would certainly not dig his own grave! But, then,
Xin Feiguang's words are not false...
Shen Tang led his troops and fought with the Jin soldiers for many days, and neither side retreated at all! The Jin soldiers attacked Xiangyang more and more frequently, and they were obviously becoming more and more eager!
It was at this time that a piece of news came that finally made Jin Bing no longer able to remain stable.
Two days ago, Cheng Yuhu led his troops to raid the Cabinet Gate. The defenders of the Cabinet Gate were defeated in a hurry, and the Cabinet Gate was lost! This means that the entire photochemical line fell into the hands of Cheng Yuhu! Take down the Cabinet Gate.
After passing the pass, Cheng Yuhu's troops divided into two groups. One group of eight thousand soldiers and horses was the main force, heading straight to Xiangyang. The other group of two thousand soldiers and horses entered Suizhou along Gunhe River!
Two thousand soldiers and horses are more or less, but they are enough to cruise around Zaoyang and Tongbai Mountain!
Guanghua was occupied by Cheng Yuhu, and soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were cruising on the border of Suizhou, which directly threatened the food and grass of the Jin soldiers!
How huge is the consumption of hundreds of thousands of gold soldiers?
There will be a steady stream of food and grass delivered almost every day! Therefore, unless they open up Guanghua again or eliminate Cheng Yuhu's rangers, they will have trouble in the rear!
However, although Cheng Yuhu's two thousand soldiers and horses were not many, they were not able to hold back. The Jin soldiers came in large numbers and could not find them. When the Jin soldiers left, they appeared!
With no other choice, Wanyan Hao summoned the generals and issued an order. In the end, they would attack Xiangyang for three days without stopping day and night! If Xiangyang did not fall, they would retreat!
As a result, in addition to sending some soldiers and horses to block Shen Tang, the Jin soldiers rushed to Xiangyang City! They fought for more than ten battles day and night, and both the Song and Jin Dynasties suffered heavy losses! The defenders in the city and the summoned troops
Zhongyong came and injured thousands of people in one day...
In Shen Tang's Chinese army tent, Bi Zaiyu stepped in and said, "Commander, General Yuhu sent a message and agreed with the commander on the time to attack the Jin soldiers!"
