Chapter 162 The fire of Heshi, the fall of Hongxian County
Chapter 162: Heshi Fire, Hong County fell
The reason why the Jin Kingdom was able to defeat the Song Dynasty's old rival, the Liao Kingdom, and seize half of the Song Dynasty! In addition to the power of the cavalry, the generals of the Jin Kingdom were certainly not fools. Just like Na Wulin Damu, he not only had strategies
, and was even good at borrowing the wisdom of the Song people to check and balance the Song people. The Marshal of the Jin Kingdom who led the army to attack Hong County was named He Shi Liehuo. His appearance was the same as his name, and even his temperament was the same. But if someone took him
If you think of him as a straight-tempered idiot, you will really be confused by him.
The army under his command is not only powerful in battle but also well-established in its advance and retreat. It has a good reputation even in the Jin Kingdom.
Before arriving at Hong County, he first asked Tan Ma to find out the general situation of Hong County. Although he knew nothing about the situation inside the city, there were no arrangements outside the city, and there were even very few soldiers guarding the city walls.
, especially in the dark night, Hong County seems to be defenseless.
Knowing this situation, he immediately chose a different strategy from Wulin Damu!
He first sent out a small group of cavalry to prevent the Song army from having spies or spying on horses, and then ordered the army to slow down. However, the Song army obviously disappointed him. The small group of cavalry he sent out did not reach Hongxian City until they were twenty or thirty years away.
No spies from the Song Army were found at this location.
For a moment, his thoughts were in vain, and Heshi Liehuo couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded!
Chen Bing was fifty miles north of Hong County. He ordered the army to stop and recharge until it was getting dark, and then began to march towards Hong County again. By the time they arrived at Hong County, the sky was already pitch black, and Hong County was completely dark.
On top of the city wall, some of the few soldiers guarding the city were drinking and making circles, while others were curled up in the corner and sleeping soundly. Except for a few sparks, the entire city wall was also pitch black.
Looking at the Hongxian city wall from a distance, Heshi Liehuo sneered. Facing such an opponent, even if he wins, he probably won't have much sense of accomplishment!
"Tell your men to try not to disturb the Song army on the city wall! In addition, the cavalry is cruising to the east and west sides. When the city is broken, the Song army will definitely flee north. Therefore, let go of the north and we will cover and kill them all the way!"
"Don't worry, Commander, tonight, you will definitely be allowed to take over Hong County!" His commanding officer, the Commander of Ten Thousands, walked away with a grim smile...
In the city! The Chinese army’s tent!
The Japanese army coach Ding Chengzhi, Yan Yutang and several generals, including the generals, were already drunk!
"Serve the wine! Serve the wine!"
Ding Chengzhi shouted and ordered his soldiers!
Not long after, several jars of fine wine were placed on the table again!
Ding Chengzhi poured a large bowl and said, "You will follow me on my expedition to the north and south. If nothing else, I will not treat you brothers badly!"
"Thank you, general!" The other generals also staggered around and drank all their wine!
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Suddenly, the sound of brutal fighting suddenly came! Everyone in the camp was stunned, Ding Chengzhi shook his head, "You... go and see, which bastard is restless!"
The guards on the side nodded, but before he could walk out of the tent, a soldier rushed in.
"General... The general is in trouble! The Jin soldiers are coming. They have stepped onto the northern city wall, and the city gate is about to be lost..."
In one sentence, Ding Chengzhi was half sober in an instant.
brush!
He grabbed the soldier's shirt and asked angrily, "You bastard, where did the golden soldiers come from!"
"I don't know. There are infantry and cavalry. There are so many people standing outside the city that I can't tell how many there are..." the soldier replied in a panic.
Ding Chengzhi took a breath of air and quickly ordered, "Quickly mobilize the army. You guys, follow me to the North City Gate!"
Some of the people went to gather soldiers, and some followed Ding Chengzhi in a hurry towards the north gate. Yan Yutang was even more panicked at this moment. He hesitated for a moment, but still waited in the tent.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavy sound made Ding Chengzhi's heart skip a beat. It was the sound of a rushing car.
Above the city, there was a sound of fighting. It was obvious that the Jin soldiers had already attacked the city!
"Quan Cheng, you wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and guard the city gate for me. Guard the camp and follow me to the city wall!"
When Ding Chengzhi stood on the city wall, his heart was already cold! There were not many soldiers guarding the city, but at this moment, the golden soldiers actually had the upper hand! The number of golden soldiers on the city wall was also overwhelming.
After passing the Song army, more Jin soldiers continued to appear from climbing ladders or cloud ladders.
"Kill me!"
Ding Chengzhi didn't have time to think too much, he split open the two golden soldiers who were coming towards them with the big knife in his hand, and then led the bodyguard battalion to fight them.
The number of Japanese troops was more than 10,000, but most of the soldiers were already asleep that night. Even if they woke up at this moment, it would probably take some time to gather together and form a fighting force! Therefore, without any backup, Ding Chengzhi
I just feel that the surroundings are full of golden soldiers, but the number of soldiers under my command is constantly decreasing.
"boom……"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the city gate, and Ding Chengzhi felt a chill in his heart! It's over... the city gate has been broken, and when the Jin soldiers enter the city, his Japanese army will have no chance of winning!
"General..."
The tooth general named Quan Cheng ran to the top of the city covered in blood, "General, retreat! The city is broken! If you don't retreat, there will be no chance..."
Ding Chengzhi's expression changed. If he loses, Ding Chengzhi may be in disaster! However, if he doesn't leave now, he may die in the hands of Jin Bing.
"Let's go!" Ding Chengzhi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Quan Cheng, after you lead three thousand soldiers to defeat, the other sergeants will follow me out of Nancheng..."
Fortunately, Ding Chengzhi was pretty good to Yan Yutang, so he asked his personal guards to pick up Yan Yutang and several students and run away with him!
Ding Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief after leading the guard battalion and thousands of soldiers who had gathered in a hurry to escape from the south city gate. At least, there was no enemy ambush outside the south city.
However, how could he dare to stay any longer at this moment, when even if he gave the order, the army would rush towards Sizhou!
There are many backup troops stationed outside Sizhou. The most important thing is that since the Song army occupied Sizhou, Zhang Jun implemented cannibalization tactics and built cities every few miles to the north of Sizhou. Of course, this city
The scale is extremely small, and it would be more accurate to call it a fortress.
However, these nail-like fortresses are the Song army's weapon against the cavalry! If the cavalry breaks in, they will be cut by the fortress and eventually cannibalized by the Song army. If they do not break in, they can protect their own safety.
.I think that back then, the famous old Master Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty used a similar method to beat Xixia to the point where he was unable to fight back! Later, if it weren't for the imperial struggle that sent Fan Zhongyan back and changed his tactics, I'm afraid that Old Master Fan could have relied on his
This simple but useful method directly drove Xixia crazy.
