Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 236
Wang Xiu was busy in another way, telling everyone to quickly take off their armor and put on the dry military uniform they carried, so as not to get sick and weaken their combat effectiveness.Simultaneously.It was announced that as long as the armored battles and the remains of the war dead were not discarded, as long as the horses could carry them, the officials could take as much silk and copper coins as they could. what!Busy life and death, not just to support the family, who can think that money is too little?

They rested for a whole day, collected the leftover horses from the peripheral battlefields, bought the mules, horses and donkeys of the residents in the city, burned the bodies of the dead in battle, put the ashes in jars, ate a good meal of wine and meat, and recovered their strength as soon as possible.

The raging fire outside turned half of the sky red at night, and the county town could feel the temperature of the flames.

Yang Xiong's reinforcements finally came, because he wanted to frighten the Song army, he couldn't bring all the troops, there were only less than a thousand troops, looking at the flames all over the sky, and hearing Chai Jin's words, he was immediately stunned.

With no food and grass, and no money, how will Song Jiang's army eat?How can his thousands of people persist?Even if you can persist for a while, so what?

To attack Chengxian County?The opponents are all cavalry!And it was cavalry in heavy armor. According to Chai Jin's tone, there were nearly a thousand people on the other side, and they still occupied the county.Asking him to attack the county with more than a thousand people, when the strength of the troops is almost equal, and the opponent is still a cavalry, it is tantamount to moths throwing themselves into the fire to seek their own death.

If he really can't take down the county town and lose troops, he will definitely not be able to resist Zeng Xiaoyun's army. Although the old fox was bewildered, he still has thousands of forbidden troops under his command. , he will face the crazy attack of this old fox. I believe that the turtles in all military states will shake their heads and turn into man-eating beasts. Once there is a mistake, Song Jiang's main force will be attacked from both sides.

"What should I do?" Yang Xiong had no choice but to ask Chai Jin, who was heartbroken by the other party's prominent background.

Chai Jin shook his head and said embarrassingly: "The enemy's strength is unknown and they occupy the county seat. We have no way to fight them head-on. Now we can only collect a part of the remaining food and grass. We must quickly strengthen the defenses of the villages. We must persist until the old fox Zeng Xiaoyun is dealt with." Brother Gongming took down Li Guojian."

"I've already said, what are you doing with him to benefit the State Prison? What's the point of confiscating [-] worth of waste? Where can we go with thousands of people flying across the world? Wouldn't it be better to go south and enter the Huaiyang Army early?" Yang Xiong complained for a while, and he It is also not in favor of Greater Xuzhou.

"Okay, brother has his own plan." Chai Jin was depressed for a while, and what he said now was not all nonsense.

But he said that Wang Xiu didn't intend to entangle with Yang Xiong and others, and he didn't have time. When the fire broke out, if Zeng Xiaoyun and Jingdong Junzhou defender didn't know what to do, then wait for Yushi's impeachment!

Everything that needed to be cleaned up was cleaned up, and the remaining copper coins and silk belongings were sealed up again, and a few captured subordinates were guarded in writing, waiting for the leaders of Liangshan outside the city to receive them.

He also made a plan. The burning of the things that cannot be taken away is a prodigal act, or should they be left to be managed by others. If you win this battle, you will come back. If you lose, even if you take it away, you will throw it away again. It's good to save a little face, but you can't do everything, can you?

He gathered the officials who could come, cremated more than [-] war dead at the gate of the county government office, gave these warriors the highest courtesy, and let the living know that they will be treated like this when they die in battle. Honor, no one will refuse a decent honor.

The sky had just turned bright, um, it should be the moment when the sun rose in the east, and the residents in the county opened their doors cautiously to wait and see, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had long since disappeared.

Chai Jin and Yang Xiong entered the city, and after listening to the subordinate officials, there were only a few hundred soldiers in the imperial court, and their expressions were extremely exciting.Standing in front of Kaifeng's warehouse, looking at the neat copper coins and silk, they were speechless for a long time.

"Which envoy from the imperial court destroyed my stronghold of more than [-] people with hundreds of people, and left the rest of the money, it's terrible, really terrible!" Thinking about the sharp offensive, Chai Jin sighed.

The subordinate official said cautiously, "It seems that someone said that the supervisor is Mr. Wang from Li Guojian."

"Wang Xiu." Chai Jin's face changed, and he looked at Yang Xiong in shock.

"Brother led a large army to besiege the Liguo prison, and Wang Xiu sent light troops to burn the grain and grass, what a bold plan!" Yang Xiong shook his head and smiled wryly, grain, grain!Hundreds of people went deep into the enemy's rear to burn food, which is really bold.

Chai Jin was silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "He is more than courageous and resourceful. This person is a formidable enemy with a sense of ease and choice."

"How do you say that?" Yang Xiong asked in bewilderment.

"Didn't you see the inventory? You don't need to ask." Chai Jin looked worried, and his tone was very impatient.

Yang Xiong frowned slightly, his expression gradually became serious, and he said solemnly: "I'm afraid my brother will have to go through a lot of trouble to attack Li Guojian."

"Don't worry, my brother has an absolute advantage, and there is no suspense in winning a county within a few days." Chai Jin said calmly.

What Chai Jin said is true. In order to quickly take down the Liguo Supervisor, Song Jiang changed his mind not to harass the people easily, recruited a large number of local strong men, and formed an army of nearly 3 people. This is the strongest force he has ever had since the incident in Liangshanbo.

Although these strong men were poorly equipped and didn't even have leather armor for protection, they were armed with knives and guns, and the small city of Liguojian could be filled with human lives.

When Wang Xiu returned to Liguo from Chengxian County, he stopped in Yizhou.It wasn't that he was intercepted, but that he encountered something more helpless than interception. Song Jiang's army had arrived, set up seventeen camps, surrounded the city of Liguojian, and was clearing out the outer siege to prevent him from entering. In the city.

"Song Jiang is really quick. It seems that he launched an offensive as soon as he arrived. I shouldn't stay in Cheng County overnight!" Wang Xiu regretted a little.

It seems that when the fire broke out, the opponent's scouts began to convey military information, causing Song Jiang to speed up his attack on the city.It seems that the other party also understands that the food and grass are gone, and the only way to hope is to take down the Liguojian quickly, and then go south to capture Pengcheng.

He realized his lack of combat experience, he should burn the supply chain and return, and he shouldn't think too much about the past and the future. The army is marching and fighting, and money is nothing!Time wasted and valuable experience was learned, but they were caught in an embarrassing situation where they could not advance or retreat.

"Sir, go in at night." Feng Yuan whispered from the side, but his tone was very firm.

"Then get ready, it will be dark in a few hours, and make a deal while they are eating." Wang Xiu smiled cheerfully, but it is very dangerous to be close to the battlefield, not to mention a few hours, and she may be discovered by scouts at any time.

"I'll be the front of the army." Jing Bo's eyes were piercing, with a murderous look on his face.
