Chapter 436 Yi Shui Flawed, Song Zhengben's strategy After a few more hours of delay, Shi Siming officially led the army to gallop in the direction of Jixian County. \ On the one hand, it is to pursue the Qi army and recapture the due ordnance and food, and on the other hand, Shi Siming is also thoughtful, knowing that the current situation cannot be delayed.
If the Qi army is not defeated as soon as possible, then as the tide of the battle turns sharply, your own army will be besieged by the Xia and Qi armies.
The consequences are unimaginable Therefore, after Shi Siming's solemn consideration, he first pointed the spearhead at the Qi army, and ended with the defeat of the Qi army.
The reason why the Qi army was chosen was also because the Qi army was slightly weaker and easier to deal with than the Xia army.
After all, the Xia army was almost the main force, commanded by Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, and assisted by Zhao Kuangyin, who was good at commanding troops, and Song Zhengben, the mastermind, and its troops were extremely strong.
Especially when it comes to Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Siming can't help but shudder, Shi Siming doesn't want to meet this terrifying enemy in this life.
Shi Siming vaguely remembered that in every defensive battle, the soldiers and horses under Zhao Kuangyin's command were often the most difficult to deal with, and they were also the team with the least losses.
On the other hand, the Qi army is different, because it was Gao Qi who ordered Su Lie to divide the army to participate in the Youzhou battle, and did not converge with the main force, and its strength was relatively weak.
It is said that persimmons must be pinched softly, and the same is true in the war, and Shi Siming also happened to plan so.
On the official road, on the way to the road, the Anjun scouts who had gone to the front to inquire about the military situation had already returned and told Shi Siming.
"General, villain and all of you have already found out, at this time, the team of the Qi army escorting ordnance and grain has been far away from the boundary of Jixian County and arrived in Cage Fire City, which is not far from Jixian County."
Hearing this, Shi Siming thought for a while, then waved his gun and ordered, shouting: "Soldiers, the day before yesterday, Qi Kou, who seized my city and killed my son, is in front, what do you say we should do?"
"Revenge, revenge" I have to say that Shi Siming's prestige in the army is not low on weekdays, and just a few words can raise the morale of his soldiers and reach a high level.
Immediately, Shi Siming took the lead with a war horse in his hips, a spear in his hand, and led everyone to gallop.
For a while, the speed of the entire army of the An army increased suddenly, but in one day, it passed through the important checkpoint and the good township.
With the arrival of the battle report, because the Qi army escorted the soldiers and the ordnance and food, its speed was not raised, so it had just come out of the cage fire city, and its distance was not very far.
Immediately after, Shi Siming made a quick decision and continued to order the whole army to accelerate forward and attack behind the Qi army Immediately, the An army also passed through the cage fire city safely and stepped into the boundary of Jixian County, almost getting closer and closer to Qin Qiong's department, and the soldiers were about to approach.
However, the weather did not meet people's expectations, and the rear was on fire again "Report, report to the general, Zhuo County urgent" "A cavalry of the Qi army, the leading general Su Lie has led the crowd to raid Zhuo County again a few days ago."
"Because the people in the city were all favored by the Qi army, when the Qi army approached the city, they all launched riots one after another, distracting the attention of the defenders, causing Su Lie to easily attack the city again."
Hearing this, Shi Siming couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to think.
After all, Zhuoxian County was attacked one after another, and changed hands several times, which could not help but greatly suppress the morale of Sergeant An.
Hearing the news, Shi Siming was immediately shocked, how dare he continue to pursue the Qi army in front, immediately turn the horse's head, and return to the army to recapture Zhuoxian.
Although Qin Qiong's army was not far ahead at this time, and it only took a few hours to pursue it, it was just that the situation in Zhuo County could not be delayed and should not be neglected It must be known that once Zhuoxian is not recaptured, Su Lie can take the opportunity to cause chaos in the rear, and once he crosses Laishui, he will unite with the Xia army on the other side of Yishui and carry out a flank attack on it.
It is hard to imagine what kind of consequences will occur at that time, so Shi Siming did not dare to gamble, so he could only be led by Su Lie helplessly, but he couldn't do anything Due to the gallop of the An army for several days, coupled with the experience of a major battle, there were already complaints in the army at this time, if it were not for Shi Siming's prestige to suppress it.
It may be that the voice of his resentment has long been complained about and spread throughout the army In fact, the reason why Su Lie was able to avoid the eyes of Shi Siming's main force and return again to attack Zhuo County by surprise.
It was also due to the fact that when Qin Qiong passed by Cage Fire City, he urgently joined Su Lie, who had arrived from behind, and at this time, Su Lie observed that there was a road leading to Daxing next to the city.
For a moment, Su Lie couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, and a hint of a clever plan flashed, and then he discussed it with Qin Qiong's generals, and reached a consensus tightly.
Therefore, Qin Qiong continued to lead the army through Caged Fire City, but his speed slowed down a lot intentionally or unintentionally, hanging An Jun far behind.
In fact, the real purpose was to win the opportunity for Su Lie to lead a surprise attack on Zhuo County.
As for why the people chose to riot after Su Lie's soldiers came to the city, they poured out their help This is also mainly due to the fact that Su Lie opened a warehouse to release grain at that time, so that the people in the city could receive grain and establish popularity in it.
Secondly, it is necessary to start with Shi Siming leading the An army into the city, because the generals of the An army have heard that the Qi army has opened a warehouse of military grain in the treasury and distributed it to the people in the city, so they can't help but be angry Therefore, although for the sake of the overall situation, Shi Siming strictly forbade robbery and coercion of the people, but unfortunately there were also generals in his army who took risks and regarded wealth as their fate, leading the soldiers to rush into every household in the city to search for grain and grass.
Not only that, but the most despicable thing is that many of its people have taken advantage of the topic to play indiscriminately, killing innocents, burning and looting, adultering women, and doing all kinds of evil This incident suddenly made the main general Shi Siming furious, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, and he was merciless, and pulled the leading generals and the soldiers under his command who participated in the rebellion down and beheaded them.
Subsequently, Shi Siming personally sent sergeants to the people's homes again to strictly apologize, win the popularity of the people, and did not want the relationship with the people to deteriorate gradually.
It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, although Shi Siming tried his best to maintain the relationship with the people, but the people also compared the army with him.
After comparison, I knew where the gap between the two armies was, at least when the Qi army was in charge, the military discipline was strict, there was no crime in the autumn, and the warehouse was opened to release grain when leaving.
On the other hand, the Anjun...
That can really be described as a heaven and an underground, without the slightest comparison Therefore, Su Lie was able to easily break the city again, enter Zhuo County, and persecute the An army.
Although Daxingcheng went to Zhuoxian, the journey was relatively long, but because Su Lie led a war horse, its mobility would inevitably improve.
Therefore, he was able to arrive at Zhuoxian County steadily before the army.
After capturing Zhuoxian, Su Lie sent scouts on a large scale to wait for the return of the An army in case of accidents A day or two later, with the investigation of the Qi army's sentry cavalry, Su Lie learned that the An army had returned in a big way, and it was less than dozens of miles away from Zhuo County.
Hearing this, Su Lie made a quick decision, and once again ordered the whole army to gallop on horseback and detour to Daxing official road to avoid the An army.
It's just that at this time, Su Lie didn't expect that his army would actually gain the hearts of the people in Zhuo County.
Seeing this, Su Lie couldn't help but dismount, and comforted him with a pleasant face: "Fellow villagers, you don't have to worry, our army is only leaving temporarily."
"Ben promises you that within a month, our army will definitely continue to fight back."
"At that time, you will know that the brutal rebel soldiers will be killed by our Great Qi Heavenly Army, and they will be terrified."

For a while, Su Lie couldn't help but stand on the spot, and persuaded bitterly, and after a long time, all the people watched the Qi army cavalry gallop away with reluctance At this time, all the people gathered at the gate of the city to watch, and even worse, their eyes were moist with tears It can be seen that the Qi army can be said to truly control the hearts of the people of Zhuo County.
Although the Qi army temporarily withdrew from Zhuo County for a while, it is conceivable that once the Qi army returns again, its people will definitely respond.
It can be said that although the city has not yet become the territory of the Qi army, in fact, the Qi army really owns this place.
It was only said that just as Su Lie was leaving, Shi Siming also led the army to Zhuo County.
Looking at the back of Su Lie slowly leaving, and looking at the shame of Zhuo County being attacked by him again and again, Shi Siming's pent-up anger in his heart can be said to have completely exploded, and shouted: "Su Lie, I swear to kill you" Seeing the looming flames of war around Zhuoxian, it seems that the entire city is densely covered in gunsmoke, and there is no way to extricate itself On the other side of the river, the summer army camp At this time, all the civil and military forces in the Xia army stood in the military tent, facing Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, who was at the top of the list.
The leader on the left side of the general standing in the first place is Zhao Kuangyin, who assisted Dou Jiande to dominate Hebei and became one of the most powerful anti-kings in Hebei.
As for the second place, it is Dou Jiande's henchman who will be a majestic sea. and the Northern Song Dynasty civil and military forces carried out by Zhao Kuangyin later, such as Hu Yanzan, Li Jilong, etc.
As for the right side, it is led by the mastermind Song Zhengben, and the strategist Zhao Pu and other advisers behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Dou Jiande took the lead in speaking: "I didn't expect the Yishui defense line to be so impregnable, let our army do everything in its power, how to attack, it is extremely difficult to cross."
"At this time, our army's grain and grass have begun to gradually become unsupportable, is it true that this Northern Expedition to Youzhou will return in vain?"
For a moment, Dou Jiande couldn't help but speak slowly, revealing an extremely unwilling look in his words.
This time, Dou Jiande's northern expedition to Youzhou, in addition to responding to his ally Qi army, did not use the attack on An Lushan's rebels as an excuse to take advantage of the fire to rob and expand his power to the front line of Youzhou.
Strive to be able to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou this time, and lay a solid foundation for fighting with Luo Yi in the future and taking possession of Youyan.
Now that he can't attack it for a long time, how can Dou Jiande not be in a hurry in his heart Just when Dou Jiande's six gods had no master and no idea, at this time, the chief strategist Song Zhengben couldn't help but stand up first, and said slowly: "King Xia, there is a suggestion, as long as it is properly prepared, Lenovo will definitely be able to make the Yishui defense line break without a fight and collapse in an instant."
Suddenly, Dou Jiande was as if he had found a bright light in the dark night, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said: "The original, I don't know what to do."
At this time, not only did Dou Jiande behave abnormally, but his Chinese martial artists also focused their eyes on Song Zheng himself.
Hearing this, Song Zhengben couldn't help but slowly walk to the screen, pointing to the map and explaining: "Everyone, please look here" "The Yishui defense line is a huge tributary between Laishui and Juma River in the depths, resulting in a natural defense line here, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"As long as there is sufficient defense, it is like 100,000 male soldiers, and it is almost difficult to raid and capture it from the south to the north."
For a while, when Zhao Pu heard Song Zhengben's words, he couldn't help but hurry, and asked first: "Is it according to Song Nayan's meaning, that is, our army can't deal with the defenders on the other side of the strait, and needs to get nothing, so we need to go home?"
Zhao Pu's words can be said to have asked the voices of many generals, and he couldn't help but look at Song Zhengben with more doubtful eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Song Zhengben did not slow down, and said: "Of course not, there are flaws in the strong defense line."
"Even Yi Shui also has flaws, as long as he grasps the flaws, he will definitely be able to break through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop and break through its defense line."
Immediately after, Song Zhengben couldn't help but suddenly get solemn, looked at his colleagues beside him, and said to Dou Jiande, who was above the main throne: "King Xia, the generals, are born and raised in Hebei, and they know the geography of the mountains and rivers here."
"In the early years of this year, I traveled almost all over Hebei, and it can be said that I can feel the mountains and rivers of almost all places very clearly."
"Yishui, although it seems to be impregnable, also has its fatal weakness, that is, in the downstream of Yishui, at the junction of Rongcheng, there is a Baigou River crossing it."
"Moreover, it happens that a section of the Baigou River is right next to Rongcheng, where the terrain is low-lying, the river is not slow, and it is not difficult to support the army to cross the river."
"Not only that, the Baigou River connects Xincheng and Dingxing on the other side of Laishui, as long as these two cities are occupied, not only the Yishui defense line can be easily cracked."
"At that time, the Laishui defense line will also be broken through in one fell swoop, and then the whole army will converge and approach Zhuo County, the capital of Zhuo County."
All of a sudden, Song Zhengben was suddenly full of spirits, pointing out the maze for everyone in the tent, and there was a feeling of pointing out the country.
At this time, with Song Zhengben's reminder, everyone in his account couldn't help but carefully observe the map to see if the method Song Zhengben said was feasible After observing for a long time, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but have a sharp eye, and took the lead in asking a question, saying: "Baigou River is indeed an excellent place to break through the Yishui defense line."
"It's just that the low-lying terrain here will also mean that this place is not so easy to walk, if there are defenders of Xincheng and Dingxing come out to harass, how should our army cross the river in an orderly manner?"
Immediately after, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, and the rest of the generals agreed with Zhao Kuangyin's statement and nodded frequently.
Immediately, he also focused on Song Zheng himself, ready to see how he explained this matter and came up with a perfect plan for the great chaos at the end of Sui :
