Chapter 845 The qualifications of the famous generals, the gap between the Water Margin and the offi
When Xu Guanzhong heard his brother's compliments, he also showed a humble smile on his face and said: "Brother is too complimentary. The plan devised by my younger brother is all due to my brother Xiao Jiasui's consideration and deliberation with my younger brother. It is definitely not the work of me alone."
achievement."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiasui slowly shook his head and said: "Guan Zhong's meticulous planning and decision-making are still there, I am just the icing on the cake."
Xiao Tang looked at Xu Guanzhong again, thinking in his mind that this hermit who followed his original trajectory and only wanted to be a free man in the mountains, rivers and countryside, stick to his principles, and refused to join the chaotic world, now has no ability to serve as his trusted advisor.
It became more and more outstanding, not to mention that Xu Guanzhong's strategy, in addition to taking into account the possibility of using the siege to bring reinforcements and luring the enemy out of the city to lure the enemy into taking the bait, and making arrangements in advance, in fact, the strategy he proposed is still
Only half of it was used...
At this time, the 5,000 Xia troops dispatched from Yinzhou City were planning to smash the company camp, create chaos everywhere, and then take the opportunity to kill the Song army commander. The Xia soldiers and horses had galloped into the enemy camp like a gale. However, they discovered after they killed a small number of the garrison.
This place was almost an empty fortress. General Xia Jun immediately realized that he might have fallen into a trap, but when he hurriedly ordered his soldiers and horses to retreat, there were sudden loud killing sounds from all directions, accompanied by the sound of bow strings playing.
, a fluffy cluster of arrows rose through the air, pouring towards the Xia army like a violent storm!
The main stronghold was vacated, and the Song army stationed in the surrounding more remote camps and grassy hills just drew their bows and fired wildly in the direction of the main stronghold, while the surprise attack army that came out of Yinzhou City was originally intended to kill them all suddenly under the cover of night.
The Song army camp created chaos. Now, on the other hand, the Xia soldiers and horses who came to attack the camp could not see clearly the rain of arrows shooting from all directions. They could only hear the frightening screams and screams in an instant.
Sounds and wails sounded continuously, and the soldiers of the Xia army fell down one by one like wheat being cut down.
"withdraw!"
The general of the Xia Army gave an order, and the Yinzhou soldiers who had just rushed into the Song Army camp quickly turned around and fled. However, at this time, there were huge flames on all sides and shouts. Niu Gao, Guan Sheng and other generals led their troops.
Suddenly, they shot out from the side and blocked the Xia army's retreat. This raid not only failed to disrupt the enemy's formation, but the Song army ambushing on all sides caused a commotion and confusion among the Xia army who had escaped from the Yinzhou city. The Song army's formation
Standing like a mountain, and being encircled from all sides, the enemy troops are now in a urn, how can they be allowed to flee at will?
After several rounds of strikes with bows, crossbows and sharp arrows, the horse and infantry troops on all sides attacked the central army camp, killing only the Xia army. Xiao Tang also followed his personal entourage from the east side to kill the general.
The big gun waved, knocking over countless enemy knights who came to attack the camp. The force of the gun was so fast and fierce that it was like a violent storm. The Xia Army cavalry generals who were hit by him didn't even have time to breathe, and were immediately attacked from behind.
The charging Song Army's powerful cavalry was cut off by chaotic blades!
The gold-chiselled gun blew up a gust of wind and passed over the neck of an enemy general. The next moment his head flew up and a stream of blood spurted out from his body cavity. Xiao Tang's face was splashed with blood and he just stretched out his hand and wiped it randomly.
Then he looked towards the Zhongjun camp and saw that although most of the Xia army that came to attack the camp were still tightly entangled by their own troops, there were still remnants that broke out of the encirclement and were heading in the direction of Yinzhou City.
Run for dear life.
Not far below the city wall on the east side of Yinzhou, there was a wide and deep horse-repelling trench. General Xia led the remaining 1,500 people to the front of the trench and immediately shouted to the top of the city wall at the top of his voice. Yin
When the defenders in the city heard the shouts from below, they immediately lit up lanterns and torches and went to take a look. They saw what appeared to be their own generals at the bottom of the city wall. They hurriedly ordered their soldiers to open the city gate and lead their troops into the city.
However, just as the east gate of Yinzhou City opened wide, and the Xia army soldiers and horses who had fled to the city rushed towards the city, in the night, two groups of light horse troops suddenly rushed out from the diagonal side. In Huarong, Wu Jie and two fierce generals
Under his command, he chased Xia Jun who was rushing towards the city like lightning!
It was difficult to see clearly at night, and because the Xia army fled in a panic, Hua Rong, who had been ordered by Xiao Tang, had already passed. Wu Jie led his troops to pursue them fiercely, and before all the Xia army could escape back to the city, they had already covered them up to the city wall.
Below. Hua Rong looked forward again through the faint moonlight. Suddenly, his eyes were focused, and he immediately held his bow full. He looked at the position of the general of the Xia army and could see clearly, and then looked at the sun behind him.
One arrow. The bow was drawn to the full moon, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star, hitting the heart of the general of the Xia army, causing him to fall immediately and dismount!
At this time, under the city wall, the light cavalry of the Song Army had already entered the formation of the remnants of the Xia Army, which had lost all fighting spirit. Hua Rong saw that the city gate had not yet been closed, and he was about to rush his horse again, leading his powerful cavalry to rush through the remnants of the Xia Army.
He wanted to block the city gate and seize the city gate so that the army could enter the city. But at this moment, Wu Jie jumped on his horse and stopped Hua Rong who was about to rush towards the city gate.
Hua Rong's eyebrows stood up when he came on board. He stared at Wu Jie and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!?"
Wu Jie smiled coldly and said nothing. He hung the long knife in his hand on the victory hook of the saddle. He immediately took off the bow and arrows and rode forward. Wu Jie then picked up the bow and arrow and looked at the shadow above the city wall, where there was only an arrow.
The shot was impartial and hit a general on the top of the city, causing him to flip over and fall down the city. Wu Jie drew his bow and fired again. Within a moment, several more tragic sounds were faintly heard from the dark city top.
The howl seemed to have caused another commotion.
At this time, Hua Rong noticed that a large number of Yinzhou defenders seemed to have gathered above the city. There were dark shadows above, and there seemed to be several large city defense weapons erected on the top of the wall. The city gate in front of him was made of silver.
Hua Rong also realized that even if he led his light cavalry into the city, he would only break into an urn on the outskirts of Yinzhou City.
Hua Rong was not a reckless fool. He also wanted to capture Xia Yinzhou City as soon as possible and accidentally lost sight of it, so he almost led his troops to rush in. Now Hua Rong suddenly realized that if he rushed straight into Wengcheng, he would still be unable to break it.
At the city gate on the east side of Yinzhou City, the Xia army on the four walls would attack fiercely with their powerful ballistae and cannons, fearing that both themselves and the light horse troops under their command would be in trouble.
"According to Commander Xiao Jie's military orders, we intercepted and killed the Xia army soldiers and horses attacking the camp. Of course we have to annihilate them all, but if the defenders in Yinzhou City are well prepared, there is no need to attack recklessly."
After Wu Jie said leisurely, he looked at Hua Rong, who had a complicated expression, and looked towards him. A very playful smile appeared on his face. Wu Jie then clapped his horse and ran out. The long knife in his hand suddenly swept across, and a sharp scream suddenly erupted.
Cutting through the night sky, as soon as he saw his long sword pass by, dozens of the few remaining Xia army soldiers outside Yinzhou City immediately had their necks broken and their bones shattered, and their limbs flew everywhere. No one could withstand his fierce and swift sword moves.
Hua Rong looked at Wu Jie who was in front of him, ordering his subordinates to shoot at the top of the city, and at the same time urging his horse to swing his sword to intercept and kill the remaining enemy soldiers and horses outside the city. He felt complicated for a moment. He had witnessed it in Linxia City.
Wu Jie personally killed his Shangguan and silenced him. Hua Rong was not only disgusted and wary of him, but also criticized his brother for allowing such a person to obey orders in front of the tent.
However, including Wu Jie's timely insight this time that the defenders in Yinzhou City were still behind, and his previous suggestions to Xiao Tang for advice, or personally leading his troops into bloody battles with the enemy, Wu Jie not only showed outstanding
Hua Rong has excellent military command skills, has a sharp vision when analyzing the battle situation before the battle, and is also very resolute in his actions. Hua Rong asked himself that his brother was walking in the officialdom and served under Xiao Tang for many years. Not only did he rely on his unrivaled bow and arrow shooting skills,
, the ability to unite the army in combat has also become more and more sophisticated. However, since he rushed to the side court with Xiao Tang and experienced several battles with Wu Jie, Hua Rong has now realized that when it comes to leading troops into battle, he has the ability to be on his own.
