Chapter 30 Di Qing's True Face

"Don't worry, my son, Bulatu will protect us. We are the masters of this mountain. The Song and Jiaozhi people are just floods caused by rain. After the heavy rain, there will be no flash floods, and the mountains will remain the same."

It's a big mountain.

It doesn't matter if we don't have the city, I didn't have one in the first place. As long as this mountain is still there, it is our last barrier. The Song people can't always station an army to guard it. It doesn't matter, this is still our world." Anon put a blanket on his son.

Putting on some clothes, I looked at the vast mountains and said to my son word for word.

Nong Zhigao smiled, grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Since my father passed away, I have always wanted to give my mother a stable home. You don't have to fight like before. You can stay by the firepit and weave a strong tapestry."

Watch over your grandchildren while delicious broth is boiling on the fire pit.

The child knows that the most painful thing about accepting the support of the King of Cochin is not me, but you, mother, please give the child another chance. If we cannot win, I will take you far away into the mountains and forests to find a quiet valley to farm and hunt.

, I will never talk about war again."

Anon chuckled and said: "It's not that easy. You are the leader elected by Buluotuo. You need to spread Buluotuo's glory. Son, don't worry about me. I have sent your son to Qipan Mountain. This

Once my mother fights with you!

The Song Dynasty was really rich. Look at their carts loaded with the best grain...it seems like they will never be able to finish it all..."

Di Qing and Yun Zheng sat on the top of the mountain and looked at the towering castle in front of them, worrying about how many lives would be lost if such a city were to be attacked.

Yun Zheng avoided Di Qing's burning eyes and said with a wry smile: "Don't think that I will send Wu Shengjun to take the lead in attacking the city. Wu Shengjun has been there to attack the city from the day he was born."

"Neither did the Western Army. Damn it. Such a spectacular city suddenly appeared in a remote mountainous area. It was really unexpected. Look, this is just a stone fortress that cannot be shaken by human beings.

How about you try to blow it up with gunpowder?"

Yun Zheng pointed at the densely packed Eight-Niu Crossbows at the head of Wuchao City and said: "Do you think Wu Shengjun can get close to the city wall with the Eight-Niu Crossbows firing? It's surrounded by flat ground and there's nothing to cover it. How do you want me to attack the city wall?"

Pre-assault?”

Di Qing looked at Yun Zheng and said with a smile: "How about digging a tunnel? Dig all the way to the city. Maybe we can make it work by cooperating inside and outside!"

"The groundwater here is shallow. There will be groundwater seeping out less than a foot away. After digging a few times, the tunnel will collapse. You have to dig it. I don't want to bury my men alive."

"Then dig a tunnel, cover it with giant trees, and lead it all the way to the city. Then you can blow it up with gunpowder!"

After listening to Di Qing's words, Yun Zheng almost burst into tears. He pointed at the towering city wall and said: "Don't look at the coverage area of ​​those eight-niu crossbows on the top of the city. It will be at least eight hundred steps, even if it is about five hundred steps,

The crossbows don't have much power, but the range of 500 steps belongs to others. Our army cannot enter, and only those people in the tunnel can enter. As long as Nong Zhigao encircles both sides, our subordinates in the tunnel can't enter.

It's like a turtle in a urn, Mr. Dee, you can't even think of this. If there are other ways, just say, as long as the damage is not so severe, we will do it."

Di Qing chuckled and said: "There is no invincible city in this world. We just won't be able to find a way to attack the city for a while. Since we can't take it quickly, we will besiege it. We have cavalry and can bypass the city and sweep it away."

How about Guangyuan Prefecture?”

"You are the coach, of course I need you to come up with ideas!"

Di Qing shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. My official position is at least ten levels higher than yours, but I can only agree to 70% of the army here. The remaining 30% are your subordinates. We have no commanding relationship. We are all commanding an army.

The coach will naturally have to discuss matters. Boy, do you think this will work?

You watch Wuchao City, I will lead the army to sweep Guangyuan Prefecture, and by the way, thoroughly sweep the nearby Anping Prefecture, Jiangzhou, Longzhou, Shun'an Prefecture, Guihua Prefecture, Mingyingzhou, Houtang Prefecture, and Ande Prefecture.

If possible, I will go to Temo Road to take a look and recover Hengshan Village. As long as it is Jixi Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, I plan to make a new decision."

"Why don't I go sweep it? Are you looking at Wuchao?" After hearing Di Qing's words, Yun Zheng jumped up immediately. The so-called sweep was actually to make a fortune. The army has never been a vegetarian. If you send out troops to let go,

If there are no corresponding benefits, the position of the general will not be stable at all. When the army returns in triumph, the rewards for his subordinates must be generous. Di Qing is the most famous general in the Song Dynasty, how could he not know the trick?

As long as an army starts to win, it is easy to continue winning. Rather than saying that everyone has high fighting spirit, it is better to say that everyone is interested in robbery. The army is a disciplined and organized team of bandits, and they are the most powerful bandits in the world. Di Qing

They brought a large number of Western troops to Guangnan, not just to serve the Song Dynasty. The reason why the Western troops were willing to come to the south to fight was actually because the money in the south was easier to grab.

Since Di Qing came to Guangnan, he has been fighting faithfully. Now that he has reached the borders of these rebellious Jizhou Prefectures, he is not willing to let go of this last opportunity to make a fortune.

Di Qing said angrily: "Your Wu Shengjun captured Binyang first. Don't tell me that you gave all the money there to Yu Jing and didn't keep a penny for yourself. You got a big deal under Hot Spring Pass. When you met Master Huang

A fool like Mi has not only gained military glory, but also captured a large number of people. Why don't you be satisfied?

I led the Western Army all the way to Guangnan, if I don’t get some money for my brothers to go back, who will be willing to follow me on the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future?"

Di Qing's big white teeth reflected a white light in the sunlight that made Yun Zheng feel dizzy. His big mouth opened and closed like a beast trying to devour someone. Before Yun Zheng could object again, Di Qing pressed Yun Zheng's lips.

Shoulder said: "Good brother, eating alone is the most taboo thing on the battlefield. I used to help you drag Nong Zhigao to make you rich. Now it is your turn to drag Nong Zhigao to protect the retreat of the brothers. I am going to make a fortune, but you are not

I don’t know how poor the Western Army is!”

Just now, the two of them were seriously discussing how to break the city, but in an instant, they turned into two bandit leaders dividing the robbery territory. Yun Zheng thought that only his subordinates were hungry wolves. After listening to Di Qing's words, he realized that these bastards in the Western Army were

They were all hungry wolves, and they were even more hungry than me.

Seeing that Wuchao could not be captured in the short term, and it would be too wasteful for more than 40,000 people to stay under the city, Di Qing decisively bypassed Wuchao and advanced towards the hinterland of Nong Zhigao. It was impossible for him to surround Guangyuan Prefecture with city walls.

, Yun Zheng believed that Di Qing would definitely tear Guangyuan and Jizhou into pieces.

In order to strengthen Wuchao's defensive capabilities, Nong Zhigao not only cut off the roads in the north and south directions, but also entrusted his back to the cliff. This was to guard against Jiaozhi. After all, he and Jiaozhi had a grudge for killing their father.

As the road approaching the interior of the Song Dynasty, the east side tightly guarded the large channel of the canyon. No matter whether the Song army wanted to attack from the south or the north, they would encounter the obstacle of a high slope. As long as they passed the high slope, the flat ground there would

They are all under the control of Wuchao Ba Niu Crossbow.

If Di Qing wants to enter Guangyuan Prefecture, he must capture Guihua Prefecture in the north, and then turn west from Wuhe Cave to enter Guangyuan Prefecture. In this way, he will sweep countless Jisu Prefectures. It seems that he will continue to attack Guangyuan Prefecture.

I don’t want to let go of the distant special road...

"He doesn't know how to rob, can he go to Dali to rob?" Yun Zheng asked Su Xun while looking at the map. After all, Temo Road is too close to Dali, and it is even richer.

Su Xun looked at the map, then looked at Yun Zheng and suddenly smiled: "He is not as courageous as you. Unless you dare to cross the Hongshui River and completely enter the territory of Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, this will give Di Qing an excuse to lead his troops.

Dali Country, after all, his worries are much bigger than yours. Entering Jizhou to suppress rebellion is one thing, but entering someone else's country is another matter."

Yun Zheng said happily: "I really want to go to Jiaozhi. The amount of gunpowder I brought this time is really too much. If I don't use it up, I will feel very sorry.

It's just that the Wuchao in front of us is blocking us here. I am actually very willing to see Di Qing lead the army into Dali Kingdom. Only by grabbing countless wealth can the Western Army's equipment undergo a major replacement. Otherwise, rely on

With the little money given by the imperial court, you will never be able to replace it in a few lifetimes."

Su Xun pointed at the topographic map Xiaolin and the others got back and said with a smile: "Nong Zhigao relies on the Tiansheng Bridge on the cliff to connect Wuchao and Guangyuan Prefecture. Even if we capture Wuchao, if that guy breaks the Tiansheng Bridge,

Like Di Qing, we have to take a detour of thousands of miles to enter Guangyuan Prefecture. No matter how we calculate it, we will suffer a big loss!"

"But how can we besiege Wuchao? Nong Zhigao has chosen a piece of Jedi land as his home base. I dare say that this guy is raiding Guangyuan Prefecture and will definitely bring all the officials in Guangyuan Prefecture to this big city.

Come on, can you say that the only way to hold back Nong Zhigao is to keep attacking?"

Su Xun sat on a chair and smiled and said to Yun Zheng: "There are so many restrictions in the strong city, and you won't be given many opportunities to restrict it. Otherwise, what is the strong city? You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

This is the characteristic of a fortified city, don’t be in a hurry, we will take our time and we will always find the key points of this city!”

Yun Zheng threw down the map in his hand and sighed: "That's the only thing!"

The army was divided into three groups, with Di Qing on the left and Yun Zheng on the right. Yu Jing, who had come all the way, personally led the Guangnan Army to guard the mouth of the canyon in the east. For this reason, Yu Jing also asked Peng Jiu, who was about to leave, and Yun Zheng was leaving.

A lot of gunpowder bombs were also ordered. In the military camp guarding the entrance of the canyon from a high position, the three armies were no more than ten miles away. Together with tens of thousands of civilians, the densely packed camps were connected together, tightly surrounding Wuchao.

.

On a foggy morning, Di Qing's army quietly left the northern position, and was replaced by five thousand soldiers of the Wusheng Army led by Zhou Tong and Wu Jie. The flags on the military formation remained unchanged. Amid Yun Zheng's ardent expectations, Di Qing

He also took away a lot of gunpowder bombs and marched all the way north! (To be continued)
