Chapter 713: Borrowing the Way or Borrowing the Knife
This is not a total annihilation battle. The attack on Shazhou is not an encirclement. There is no encirclement at all. It is a pure attack, followed by street fighting, and finally the Xixia troops deployed in Shazhou are killed...
In other words, driving away is more appropriate.
They are four-legged cavalry, while the partial divisions are two-legged men. They can only be driven away, but cannot be annihilated.
The situation was as expected. After the commandos entered the city, they used gunpowder bombs to clear the way. The soldiers who attacked the city also used gunpowder bombs. Such constant explosions made the animals left in Shazhou no longer
Obediently listen to the master's call...
While the artillery fire in Shazhou City continued, the Song army drivers strolling outside the city began to collect the animals that had run out of the city with a smile.
The army must not disturb the people! This is the iron rule of the New Army. Therefore, after confirming that no Xixia soldiers were found in the city, the soldiers of the Song Army began to gather towards the government office in Shazhou. And they began to build fortifications around the government office.
, seems to want to stick to the government office.
"Zi Hou, do you really not accept An Jing?"
At this time, Wang Shao was still unsure and wanted to confirm with Zhang Dun.
"Commander, if there is no chaos in Shazhou, how can we reasonably occupy those animals? The officials once said a joke in the martial arts hall: There is no harm without comparison. Zhang Dun thinks that now, this sentence should be: There is no comparison.
, how to embody the goodness of governance in the Song Dynasty?"
This was proposed by Zhang Dun and discussed before the war.
After deciding to requisition the packhorses and camels of the merchants in Shazhou, Zhang Dun proposed that after conquering Shazhou, he would temporarily ignore the stability of Shazhou. After the army entered the city, they would only defend the government offices, and use most of the troops to ambush in the east and carry out encirclement and reinforcements.
tactics.
The Song army's requisition of pack horses and camels will inevitably cause objections to the local forces in Shazhou, including merchants. Such opinions will not be beneficial to the future governance of Shazhou. Therefore, Shazhou must be allowed to become chaotic and give those forces a chance.
Impression... The Song Dynasty was just a borrowed path.
In fact, the animals that were frightened away never entered Shazhou City again, and had long been taken by the drivers to pull the chariots. This was just an excuse.
If you want to govern Shazhou, you must understand Shazhou. Chaos is the best way to expose the forces of all parties in Shazhou.
"What if there is no chaos in Shazhou?"
"Then let's set an example for them!"
From the pre-war discussions to the present, the entire discussion process has been conducted under the supervision of the military inspector. Unfortunately, they did not speak a word and only listened with ears.
The five major captains of the Imperial Guard seemed to agree with Zhang Dun's suggestion. Wang Shao was different. He had led Kaibian. Wang Shao had always managed the Tubo tribe in the Hehuang area with the understanding of being a master.
Even if it is coordination, it is judged from the perspective of an outsider with a fair attitude.
"Commander, I would like to ask, if chaos breaks out in Shazhou, who will be the troublemakers, those who benefit, and those who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos?"
Who will they be? This is self-evident. Those who keep themselves safe will always keep their own rules at all times. Neither do real businessmen. They seek wealth and cherish their lives even more.
If the Song Dynasty said it was just passing by, then those who caused trouble at this time were either taking the opportunity to make a fortune, or they were ambitious and powerful people, and there were even bandits with the name of merchants.
"The mission of my partial division is to go east from Shazhou, form a pincer attack on Xingqing Mansion, and finally cooperate with the frontal troops to complete the battle of annihilation against Xixia. It is not to govern Shazhou."
"Of course, during the period when my division is stationed, if there is too much public dissatisfaction and the whole Shazhou is full of complaints, it is not impossible to reluctantly kill him! At that time, even if there are three to five hundred soldiers left behind, it will be enough to pacify the entire Shazhou.
It’s Shazhou!”
Without experience in the martial arts hall, there are always some shortcomings in strategy. Wang Shao is definitely a great talent at the moment, and he can be regarded as a master of strategy, and he is upright. However, the cases where the officials stayed in the martial arts hall will make people really
Understand the art of strategy.
I have already said it thoroughly. Wang Shao is really a little scared. If possible, he really doesn’t want to work with Zhang Dun...
The so-called passing by is just an expression, and the so-called ignoring An Jing is a trap. Taking Shazhou with a partial force, and then revealing that there is no intention of Shazhou, those who are ambitious and powerful will naturally not let this opportunity go.
Then, demons and monsters will jump out. Even if there are complaints that cannot be provoked, depending on Zhang Dun's intention, he intends to let the soldiers promote it. Then, when the entire Shazhou really falls into chaos, the Song Dynasty appears as the savior and quickly eliminates these troubles.
The power was wiped out...
When it was uncertain whether there were any remaining party members in Shazhou, the partial division had already set off with great fanfare... It was necessary to get the drivers to return to the battlefield with the chariots, and at the same time to find a suitable ambush location between Shazhou and Guazhou.
.
In fact, at this time, soldiers who were good at lurking were also scattered throughout Shazhou City.
The first night was quiet and without any surprises.
"If nothing happens tomorrow night, we must step up the fire! We don't have time to waste time here, we must complete the rectification of Shazhou as soon as possible!"
On the surface, the soldiers of the Song Army who stayed behind were stationed in the government offices in Shazhou, and even closed the doors of the entire government offices. This was the attitude.
······
"Master Wang's entry into Shazhou is a blessing for our remnants. It's a critical time for military aircraft. I really shouldn't bother you, but I can't help it. General, last night my shop was robbed, with more than 20 people killed and injured, and the loss was heavy. I hope you can
Master Wang can uphold justice!"
This is strange. Wang Shao can be sure that none of the soldiers who stayed behind took action last night, and the soldiers scattered in Shazhou City did not report any accidents. In the morning, Zhang Dun also asked that the scene must be chaotic tonight.
.I didn’t expect someone to come to redress my grievance so early in the morning.
Wang Shao looked at Zhang Dun and thought that Zhang Dun did not dare to go beyond him to order the soldiers. Even if he wanted to do this, the soldiers would not carry out the orders. The New Army was very strict about military orders. Only the documents formed by the headquarters could be used.
Only the soldiers will execute it, otherwise any soldier can refuse or even resist.
Zhang Dun also looked surprised.
"I'm sorry, this old man is so polite. We, the Song Dynasty, are far away from Shazhou and have no intention of passing through Shazhou for the time being. We are just passing through Shazhou now. To be honest with you, I am just here for repairs and will set off eastward soon.
Regarding the peace and stability of Shazhou, I hope all my neighbors will govern themselves!"
After saying that, Wang Shao served tea. Then he directly ordered the soldiers to close the door of the mansion.
"Commander, it seems that some people still use us as props. They want to use the stage to sing!"
Wang Shao also understood. The garrison at the government office did not sue the people, nor did he take over the city defense. A thoughtful person saw the Song Army's intention. Today, he just wanted to test and find out the Song Army's bottom line.
It seems that this Shazhou is really not a kind place.
