Chapter 861 The plan is agreed, the scholar also knows the military affairs?
Li Xiaozhong said sincerely that he was familiar with the terrain and was about to make some achievements in front of Xiao Renxia. However, as he was so excited, he heard someone questioning him and immediately turned to look at that person.
Seeing that the man has beautiful features and a seven-foot-long figure, he is wearing a black crepe turban to wipe his eyebrows, a silver-rimmed crane cloak, and green cloth shoes with both sides. Among all the generals in armor, he is... Dressed like a scholar and scribe, Li Xiaozhong's expression darkened again.
Li Xiaozhong came from a powerful family in the western region. What he despised the most in his life were those scholars who liked to drop their schoolbags. Li Xiaozhong was out of sight and out of mind for those scholars who read the books of sages and devoted themselves to seeking fame. However, he especially disliked those who were in and out of the army. The so-called staff scribes who gave advice on the art of war and military principles.
Originally, the Song Dynasty had a strong tendency for civil servants to respect military officials and despise military officials. Although there were officials such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Zhang Kai who made great achievements in border services, Li Xiaozhong heard more about the court officials who had made great achievements in military affairs in recent years. The civil servants who were transferred from the inside didn’t know much about military matters, but they either took credit for nothing or pointed fingers. What’s more, the civil servants in the DPRK restricted the generals, and there was also General Di Qing, who had always taught black and white Taoists and admired the heroes. Even such a famous general could not win because of this. He was jealous of the civil servants in the court and died in depression. Li Xiaozhong, who had a heroic temperament, did not like the civil servants who interfered in military affairs.
Just now I heard this scholar say that he is called Xu Guanzhong? Hey! This scholar who has no power to tie a chicken can't say that he kills people with a knife. I'm afraid most of them have never had blood on their hands. When leading troops in war, they say something like "Confucius said" What's the use of "Zhi Hu Zhe"? Xiao Renxia raises this scholar in white under his command. Instead of reciting poems and chanting sutras, he engages in romance and romance. Instead, he seeks to bring bad luck to me!
Although Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui were both close advisers who had followed Xiao Tang for a long time, Xiao Jiasui had a bold temperament, was also a formidable man with extraordinary physical strength and proficient martial arts, and his demeanor in his words and deeds was more like that of a heroic knight. Xu Guanzhong's appearance was elegant and elegant, and he looked like a handsome young man in troubled times. He was indeed very conspicuous among the generals. When Xu Guanzhong saw that Li Xiaozhong's expression was different, he immediately said: "Master Li, what do you think of Xia?" The thieves must not know the terrain, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Several beacon camps echo each other. If the Xia thieves find a flaw behind the ridge and send troops to defend themselves, the brave men will lead the righteous people to climb the steep mountain wall. They will just climb up, without any physical strength. If there is no time to spare, what will happen to the strong men if the enemy forces drop large and small rocks, short crossbows, bows and arrows from the cliff?
What's more, our army now doesn't know how many enemy troops are guarding Xiaoguan and the surrounding Fengsui camp. The strong man still has more than a thousand local warriors under his command. They rushed into the camp from behind the mountains, but the lone army will be heavily surrounded by the Xia army. By then What can we do? Our army has dispatched a large number of soldiers to follow the strong men to climb the cliff and attack the camp in a detour. Firstly, we don’t know whether the enemy has been prepared for it. Secondly, we don’t know the details of Xia’s army. If they move rashly, they may be counterattacked. We were caught in an ambush by the enemy."
It is said that although Xu Guanzhong felt that the method proposed by Li Xiaozhong was feasible, he also had good intentions and felt that the plan still needed to be improved to prevent the Ganlong hero who was just willing to act under his brother's account from being lost in vain due to a moment of carelessness. life.
Li Xiaozhong was suffocated after hearing this, but he became competitive, so he said loudly, "It doesn't matter! My brothers are hunters who are good at Bashan Mountain. First, I sent dozens of people to climb the cliff to explore the path.
After guarding the pass, I waited for my brothers to climb up again. Instead, I took advantage of the darkness to light a fire to scare the Xia thieves. Even if the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, we can accomplish something. Conquest and killing are basically licking blood from the edge of a knife.
What can you do if your business involves danger?"
Xu Guanzhong didn't frown when he heard this, and slowly shook his head. Xiao Jiasui saw this and said: "Li Zhuangshi took a dangerous road to cross the back of the mountain. This method is certainly feasible, but if it is more appropriate, I want to do it from the front."
The army still has to mobilize all the battalions to attack. After the army soldiers who climbed the cliff first find out that there is no enemy guarding the mountain pass, the troops crossing the mountain will only have the number of warriors led by Li Zhuangshi, which is probably not enough, and they will have to be mobilized.
These soldiers and horses will climb the cliff together and go around the back of the camp to have a complete plan. When the time comes, they will attack from both the front and the rear, and coordinate internally and externally, and the chance of victory will be greater."
"Since you are so sick, you will go with Li Zhuangshi even before you ask for your orders..."
Wu Jie, who was hugging his arms at the side, suddenly said: "I will lead three battalions of death warriors to climb the cliff and go around to the back of the camp, set a few fires, and then take advantage of the chaos to rush into the camp, open the camp gate, and join the army to seize the camp.
"
After Xiao Tang's audience finished speaking, he thought that this plan was also the most suitable combat strategy for the current situation, so he grabbed an arrow and said loudly: "Wu Jie listens to the order!"
Wu Jie smiled faintly, then strode forward, cupped his hands and fists towards Xiao Tang, and said loudly: "The general is here!"
Xiao Tang stretched out the command arrow in his hand and said: "I order you to lead three thousand brave men and go around the back of the mountain range of the beacon camp in front of Xiaoguan with the local warriors of brother Li Xiaozhong. After our army launches an offensive towards the camp, you
He and his brothers Li Xiaozhong then sent out dead soldiers to check if there were any enemy troops guarding the pass. Then they climbed up the cliff, attacked the enemy's rear camp, set fire to the signal, and then attacked from both sides, so that the enemy could not look at each other and broke the camp.
When there are enemy troops guarding the top, there is no need to force the climb up to attack. Instead, send fast horses to report the attack to my commander."
"General, I obey!" Wu Jie accepted the order loudly, and immediately took the command arrow from Xiao Tang's hand, his armor clanking, and returned to the ranks of the generals.
Xiao Tang immediately shouted to the generals present: "The rest of them will lead their troops and set off northward in three days to attack the Fengsui camp on the front of Xiaoguan to attract the enemy's ideas so that Commander Wu and Brother Li Xiaozhong can touch it."
Lingya, when there is a fire at the back of the camp, command the soldiers of the post to attack with all their strength!"
After listening to Xiao Tang's words, everyone present also accepted the order with a loud voice: "Yes!"
After the military discussion was over, Li Xiaozhong's eyes flickered, and he happened to meet Xu Guanzhong's eyes. Seeing the white-clothed scholar under Xiao Renxia smiling and nodding to himself, Li Xiaozhong snorted coldly, but he also knew that Xu Guanzhong was in front of Xiao Tang.
The confidant didn't have much to say. He also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xu Guanzhong said, but that the method he had come up with was talked about by a scholar he had never liked, which also made Li Xiaozhong feel very unhappy.
, at this time, he couldn't help but secretly said: If you want to gain fame on the battlefield, in the final analysis, you have to rely on real swords and real guns. When I really achieve great achievements, I can teach Xiao Renxia how to fight hard.
, but it is not comparable to Lao Shizi’s scholar who speaks plainly!
※※
It is said that when the Xia army soldiers and horses in Xiaoguan and surrounding camps learned that the Song army had arrived, they immediately sent out light cavalry and sent orders to gather the troops from all over and return to various pass camps to guard. The city walls and other fortifications have been renovated, with Xiaoguan as the center.
Guards were set up all over the surrounding Fengsui camps and mountain passes. The generals of the Xia army mobilized their troops to defend the pass, preparing to defend the pass and resist the Song army who came to seize the pass.
Various defensive weapons such as rolling logs and stones, fire oil gold soup and even fire oil cabinets are available at various passes. These were originally weapons used by the Song army to resist the Xia army's southward invasion of the passes, but now they have all fallen into the hands of the Xia army. The range is hundreds of steps.
, and even more than a hundred crossbows that can fire dozens of arrows at once were placed at the top of Xiaoguan City. The walls, gates, urns, crossbow towers, watchtowers, etc. in Xiaoguan and even the surrounding camps all have Xia Xia.
The soldiers were ready for a surprise attack and captured Xiao Pass. At this time, they occupied this pass and intended to eliminate a large number of the Song Army's effective forces. From the perspective of the Xia Army Commander, even if the Song Army recaptured several camps around Xiao Pass, they would probably lose several soldiers.
Thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.
Four days later, the Xia army soldiers and horses, who had been resting for a while, finally saw several Song troops appearing on the horizon on the south side of the foothills of Liupan Mountain, and slowly marching towards Xiaoguan.
