At this time, the East China Sea Coalition Army has been repulsed, and there is a scream of ghosts crying wolves under the city wall, which can be called corpses all over the field, a mess, and even a disgusting smell of burnt meat came, and the East China Sea Coalition Army was also quite indifferent, and did not care about these half-dead people under the city wall, but retreated, probably did not expect the attack of this county town to be so sharp.
At this time, it was already noon, and someone had already brought food, as long as it was on the city wall, they all ate the same meal, which was stipulated in the Dongxia state, that is, to share weal and woe.
Although there must be people behind the scenes, but no one dares to do it on the bright side, it can be seen that although the Eastern Xia Kingdom is the weakest and is located in a bitter cold place, it is really unique to be able to stand side by side with the other four countries.
At this time of eating, you can see the difference between Xinding and the veteran, Xinding is pale, leaning against the wall, and does not want to drink water, while the veteran eats very fragrantly, as if others will come to grab it.
Lin Fengjin was also a little hungry at this time, so he also went to get one, which was two wheat steamed buns, and there was a sauce dish for dipping in seasoning, vinegar and chili peppers or something, and a bowl of vegetable porridge, but the vegetable porridge was full, and the steamed buns were gone.
Lin Fengjin took a bite, and found that the steamed bun was only a little hot on the outside, and a little cold on the inside, it should be mixed with bran inside, and it was a little rough and killing, but the vegetable porridge was piping hot, and the appearance was also very good, the snow-white rice grains, the green vegetable leaves, the fragrance of the vegetable leaves was cooked very deliciously, Lin Fengjin drank a few sips with semi-cold cakes, and then found that it was very suitable for his appetite, so he went to add a few bowls.
After eating at noon, probably after discussing for a while, the other party seemed to realize that the archers on the side of Shangqiang County were very sharp, so they did not despise it, but planned to attack the city in a decent manner, so they had to dig a ditch to divert the water from the moat first, and then fill in the trench.
While doing this, he began to divide his forces, from concentrating on one wall to attacking both the north and south walls at the same time, with the intention of thinning the strength of the defenders.
Obviously, after this tentative attack, according to the character of the other party, once it is ready, then this time it should be dispatched to the elite and the Red Banner and other combat forces, wanting to break the city in one fell swoop.
In the face of such a situation, Lin Fengjin also had a countermeasure, of course he would not be stupid enough to divide the troops of the other party, his red cavalry must be gathered together, so as to exert the greatest strength, as for the red flag, the samurai is a single body with outstanding combat power, and there are also people who are proficient in martial arts in the city to catch up, such as the deputy dart head of the Ping'an Dart Bureau, and a retired martial artist, and there are also a few brave people among the soldiers, so naturally they have to resist.
For the red cavalry to play a role, it must be on the horse, isn't it that the east gate and the west gate are not surrounded, as long as the other party starts to attack, the red cavalry will gallop out, and harass with bows and arrows from the side, in this way, the East China Sea coalition army is not a strong army, or in the situation of cannon fodder in the siege, it is afraid of it, and it is bound to collapse if it is attacked from both sides.
Draining the water in the moat, as well as filling the trench are not small projects, under normal circumstances, at least it will take three or five days for the attacker, however, Shangqiang County has been breached once before, and the nearby city walls and moats have also been collapsed by the East Sea pirates, so in the afternoon, it is already impatient to launch an attack from this gap, and at the same time, the civil engineering works in the rest of the places have not been put down, and the water continues to be diverted and filled.
This time, Lin Fengjin originally thought that his red horse should have a chance to play, but no one expected that something happened.
Just when the battle for the defense of the city was in its infancy, it was as if a man and a woman were rolling the sheets, and they had already taken off their clothes and had not yet made substantial contact, when reinforcements arrived.
What reinforcements, of course, are the reinforcements of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.
Even Lin Fengjin ignored this, in fact, he had stayed with Wu Zuocheng for too long, so he had already habitually considered the problem from Wu Zuocheng's point of view, and Wu Zuocheng had always been in a situation of hard work and isolation.
And this is not Wu Zuocheng, but Shangqiang County, which is the granary of the Dongxia Kingdom, known as the important town on the Lianhu Plain in the south of the Yangtze River outside the mouth, if it is ruined by the East China Sea Pirates, then the life of the Dongxia Kingdom will be quite sad next year, because the Lianhu Plain where Shangqiang is located only occupies about half of the land area of the Eastern Xia and five percent, but the grain produced every year on this fertile land will account for forty percent of the grain output of the Dongxia State Therefore, since I heard that there was chaos here, it can be said that the court of the Eastern Xia Kingdom was stabbed fiercely, as if someone had kicked it in the crotch, and reacted with the fastest efficiency to suppress the thief, and even let the general who led the army make a military order.
A large number of cavalry came from the west, and they immediately crashed into the camp of the East China Sea Alliance.
There is a way for laymen to see the liveliness, insiders to see the doorway, although the cavalry of the Eastern Xia Army this time is not less, at least one or two thousand people, plus the billowing smoke and dust brought up when galloping, the momentum is quite prosperous, and it is still in the case of the enemy's division of troops, so there is a feeling of taking the lead in the first place.
However, the people around Lin Fengjin were shaking their heads one by one, for these men in the Sanli Division, they pulled one out at random, and the time spent on horseback was definitely richer than that of the commander of the cavalry, so whether they were educated or cultured, these people had a first-class vision in terms of cavalry.
In addition, Lin Fengjin kept instilling in them the war culture of the Central Plains along the way: besieging the city to send reinforcements, attacking the east and west, and transferring the tiger from the mountain, these people immediately felt that their eyes suddenly opened up, and a golden avenue appeared, and even some people were overjoyed, holding the book of war trembling and kneeling on the ground.
Why, because these people can be said to be experienced to a certain extent, are in that stage of inspiration, in peacetime war, they also occasionally find that at some times the saber and bow are not the decisive factors in war, and some battles that seem absolutely impossible to win can be completely defeated by a different way.
They began to ponder whether this "change of way" was accidental or inevitable, whether it appeared regularly, and whether it could be replicated in the rest of the battles that had not been carried out, and Lin Fengjin opened a door for them at this time, and simply told them that what you want can be realized, and the Central Plains has already conducted an in-depth discussion on this in simple terms, and there are a series of extended discussions Therefore, these red horsemen around Lin Fengjin are actually hungry to absorb the knowledge and culture of war, the most typical is Wolf Tu, this reckless man who only knows how to rush and fight also began to read military books.
Lin Fengjin was watching the battle from the city tower at this time, and his subordinates shook their heads one after another, and said: "It's just that I can't think well in my heart, I must say it and discuss it, you know, a person's mind is always limited, brainstorming is the real truth, where do you think this cavalry is not doing well, Tuohu, you say it first."
Tuohu stood closest to Lin Fengjin at this time, and after listening to it, he said: "This group of cavalry chose the wrong time, rushed too early, I think, it should be the most suitable time to attack when the opposite side has sent out the red banner, samurai and the like, and has been inseparable from the city."
Lin Feng said respectfully: "In principle, this is right, but you should also put yourself in the shoes of the leading generals, they should have been given a strict order to ensure that Shangqiang County is not lost, at this time, it has been almost four days since the submission sent by the old Wang Wang, at least at the state capital level.
Therefore, the incoming army should be very clear about the situation in Shangqiang County. ” "In their eyes, more than 3,000 thieves have already broken Shangqiang County, although they were recaptured later, but that night the East China Sea pirates fought back, this time even the county yamen was brutally poisoned, after these two turmoil, under normal circumstances, Shangqiang County can organize people to resist It is already very rare, and at this time, the thief army is back, and it is with the advantage of eight or nine thousand troops, so the general of this army chooses to attack at this time, and it is helpless, because he feels that he will never appear again, Shangqiang County will inevitably fall under this wave of offensive. ” Tuohu nodded convincingly: "Yes."
At this time, Chibixiong said: "I see that these cavalry horses are a little vain when they gallop, and even the horse's chews are covered with white foam, obviously they have galloped for a long time, and they are already at the end of the crossbow, and the fat of these horses is also extremely bad, it can be seen that there is no intention when raising, use such cavalry to impact the enemy, what impact can you have, don't trap yourself in it, this more than 1,000 horses, I took a hundred red horsemen to rush down and hang them, and they can be defeated in half an hour."
"Huh."
Lin Fengjin smiled: "If you compare them with the red horse, then the requirements are too high." ” Tuohu immediately followed Lin Fengjin's words and said: "That's right, can wolves be compared to sheep?"
At this time, another guard said: "The quality of these riders is not very high, and I think some of them are very reluctant to control the reins with one hand, let alone ride and shoot."
Although the cavalry army that came was almost sprayed by the people around Lin Fengjin, they were also the regular army of the Eastern Xia Army, and such a direct breakthrough still caused a heavy blow to the East China Sea Coalition Army when the other party was unprepared.
Lin Fengjin saw very clearly from the top of the city tower that after this cavalry army rushed into the enemy formation from the west, it lost its impact power just halfway through it To be honest, for the cavalry, such a situation is really a very fatal thing.
The destructive power caused by the cavalry sprinting at high speed can be said to be quite amazing, if the collision force of the man and horse is combined, normal people can only use the mantis arm as a car to describe, the rider does not need to wield a weapon at all, what he does is to adjust the angle of the gun tip or blade, he can easily pierce the human body, or cause terrible wounds on the enemy's body.
However, this is based on the sprint, once the cavalry loses this advantage and falls into the encirclement of the infantry, it can be said that it is a headache for one-on-one, the other party can give full play to the advantage of maneuvering, and continue to stab the horse in the back of the buttocks, which is very disgusting, the speed of the horse's turn is definitely not fast for anyone to switch positions, not to mention that in the real battlefield, the cavalry speed drops, and at least five or six people can surround the horse There is a way that two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone when there are five or six people around Because of this, the East China Sea Coalition Army did not collapse directly, but after the cavalry rushed into the camp, under the urging of many sharp bamboo whistles blown by the heads of the ashigaru, they frantically surrounded it.
The two sides began to present a stalemate situation, looking at the battle situation below, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but think of the scene he often saw in the north in his previous life, a heavy snow plow, the engine had a heart-rending roar, and there was billowing black smoke behind the buttocks, and it was difficult to shovel away the large pile of snow on the road, and it was so painful that it was about to break down in the next second.
Finally, the cavalry of the Eastern Xia Army successfully chiseled through the large battalion below the East China Sea Coalition Army and successfully achieved the tactical goal, which undoubtedly inflicted heavy losses on the East China Sea Coalition Army.
This is also very normal, whether it is a human or a beast, it will not be too comfortable to be stabbed hard and directly stabbed with a penetrating injury, and in the same way, you can also put yourself in the shoes of the East China Sea Alliance.
However, it was definitely not only the East China Sea Coalition Army that suffered heavy losses, but also the Eastern Xia cavalry army that launched the charge.
Let's put it this way, if the Dongxia cavalry is compared to a thick popsicle, then the camp of the East China Sea Coalition Army is like a basin of boiling water, and after this popsicle sneaked around in this basin of boiling water and finally escaped, it has shrunk by at least more than half, and the adjective added in front of it can also be changed from "thick" to "slender".
These guards around Lin Fengjin are all experts in cavalry warfare, and their archery skills are extremely strong, and the premise of strong archery skills must be that their eyesight is very good, so they have accurately reported the losses of the Eastern Xia cavalry: "Before the charge, there were about 1,600 horsemen, and now there are about 840 horsemen rushing out, but at least 200 horses have been scrapped, and at most there are only 600 horsemen who can recover their combat strength."
"I found that the East China Sea coalition forces behind them all looked like they were attacking people, but the horses stayed, it seems that the East China Sea coalition forces are very short of livestock."
"Did they have a time when they didn't lack livestock?"
"How many people have died in the East Sea pirates this time, has anyone paid attention?"
"The East China Sea pirates in this camp are about 5,000 people, and the casualties mainly appear in the first half, but at least they are around 2,000 people, and their commander's personal soldiers have played a great role. “” At this time, the battle between the two sides was also defeated, but to be precise, it was the Eastern Xia Kingdom that suffered a loss, and the other party exchanged more than 2,000 people for nearly 900 cavalry, which was quite a profitable thing, Lin Fengjin was an old man, and under normal circumstances, a battle loss of five to one was acceptable.

That is to say, one cavalry for five infantry, both sides can barely equal, this is not only said to be combat power, because the cavalry has to support mounts, so in fact, in terms of military consumption, the resources consumed to support one cavalry are almost equivalent to the resources of five infantry.
Let's take another very simple example, the East China Sea Coalition Army was bleeding under Wu Zuocheng, with at least more than 90,000 casualties, and the cavalry under Lin Fengjin's command only lost more than 4,000 people, even more than 1 to 20 Of course, it is a bit one-sided, because many casualties of the East China Sea Coalition Army are also caused by the city defense, but Lin Fengjin can be sure that according to the contempt of the East China Sea Coalition Army's human life, if there is really a way to take 20 infantry to exchange one of his own cavalry, The crow ghost strategy will definitely be able to redeem without saying a word At this time, since it was found that the reinforcements of the Eastern Xia Kingdom had arrived, the other party's Da Dexin simply united the separated forces together, and then rebuilt the camp, at this time there were more than a thousand cavalry looking around, unless there was also a cavalry to cover, otherwise, the immediate withdrawal would only cause the cavalry to chase and harass until it collapsed.
After all, if the infantry wants to fight against the cavalry, there is only one way, and that is to form a formation, but it is obviously difficult for the infantry to do this when running for their lives, of course, it is difficult to do it, and it definitely does not mean that there is none, but if the infantry under the command of Da Dexin can have such an elite, then why should they escape Next, when Da Dexin was tidying up the camp, he lit the wolf smoke, and he could see three straight black smoke rushing straight into the sky, which should be a sign of asking for help, seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin frowned, and felt that the East China Sea Alliance Army had even arranged troops here, which was really the most troublesome.
Obviously, after the East China Sea Alliance Army has increased its troops, then the generals of the Dongxia army will definitely ask for help, more and more reinforcements, and the scale will become larger and larger And for Lin Fengjin, in a battle of 1,000 people, he can still play a big role in leading more than 100 red horsemen, but once it is a melee of 10,000 people, then his role will become very small Unless he has the perverted strength of the Wojin God descending, otherwise, the more people there are, the more disadvantageous it is for him.
At this time, since the East China Sea Alliance had begun to retreat into a defensive state, the cavalry outside also began to gallop around the city, and then called open the city gate next to it to let people come out to greet them.
Because this is a reinforcement from the imperial court, and the official rank of the commander of this cavalry must be at least a general, so the officials of the county must also go, Lin Fengjin originally didn't want to meet with the people in the Eastern Xia army, after all, these people have a certain chance of being their own prisoners.
But if you think about it carefully, since you will definitely have to stay in the same city with this guy for a while in the future, you will probably not be able to hide it, and besides, the adultery between herself and Princess Cui is definitely not given in vain, so she is also mixed in the gentry team.
On the way to the West City Gate, Lin Fengjin was a little excited when he saw the new commander of the Xiang Army, Fang Qiyu, so he asked: "Lord Fang has made proper arrangements this time, as soon as the reinforcements from the imperial court come, Shangqiang County will inevitably be impregnable, and it will inevitably be promoted soon."
Fang Qi said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi laughed, but the general who came to help this time should be surnamed Meng, speaking of which is still my old acquaintance, I thought that I hadn't seen him for about twenty years, and I felt a little emotional."
A cadre of people came to the city gate, is the middle of the road welcome, sure enough, I saw the front of the tooth soldiers to pass on the is: the palace in front of the imperial envoy, the six products of the martial arts captain, General Meng Chengde to help, two rows of tooth soldiers lined up, a cadre of cavalry is a fish into the stream, naturally someone took it to the military camp over there, on the school field, the treatment of the wounded, the rest of the rest.
And this General Meng looked quite weak, his face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was heartbroken that more than half of the cavalry under his command had died, or if he had suffered some internal injuries when he was charging into battle.
Then this General Meng was invited to the Zhixian Yamen to talk and eat wine, because the Zhixian Yamen had been burned, so he could only go to the temporary county yamen.
After going to the temporary county office, this General Meng was pushed to the main seat and sitting, he did not shirk, sat down steadily, let people wave their hands and say that they were not busy, as soon as they saw this pie, the old fritters present knew that he must have brought the above order.
Sure enough, after he sat down, he said in a somewhat deep voice: "I don't know which one is Wang Zhongming" Wang Juren suddenly stood up, still very frightened in his heart, don't look at his old fritters who have been in turmoil for a long time, at this time, he is also a little frightened to destroy the county order, and set himself up as the county magistrate
