Mystery Makes Me Strong

At this moment, no one could answer Fang La.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their feet.

At this time, Prime Minister Fang Fei suddenly said: "Sheng Gong, we should quickly retreat to our hometown. We can still hold on for some time in the mountains of our hometown and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes, for now, we can only retreat first. As long as we keep the green mountains, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood." His son Fang Hao also said.

Fang La then sighed: "This is the will of heaven to destroy me!"

"Then let's retreat first."

At this time, he only had a few county towns left in his hands. Hangzhou was gone, let alone the county towns?

In history, he also chose to retreat.

Then they secretly packed their luggage, concealed a large number of miscellaneous men, quietly took their confidants, left the city at night, and went all the way to the mountain stream of their hometown.

Walking on the road.

Fang La was dizzy in the shaking carriage.

At this time, his son Fang Hao was beside him and suddenly said, "Father, I think it must be that military advisor who is interfering!"

"He said before that we can only hold on for a few months before failing."

"He also said that father only has a few months of luck."

Fang La looked at him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Why is he so sure? He must have secretly informed the Song thieves, so he is so sure that we will fail sooner or later."

When Fang La heard this, he immediately frowned, clenched his fists, looked unwilling, and had a bit of hatred.

At this moment, he was like Yuan Shao.

After failing, he did not think about his own problems, but urgently looked for an outlet to vent!

"Okay, I know, it must be his problem!"

"Turn back immediately!"

So the carriages and horses accelerated towards his hometown.

Fang La was furious and hurried, and led his men to retreat in the direction of the mountain stronghold that Wen Rensheng had previously reported.

At this time, the Song army had already discovered his movements.

Sent a team behind him and kept chasing.

The morale of the other main Song troops became higher and higher.

The cities left by Fang La were conquered one after another.

The few people who were encouraged by Fang La and believed that the Holy Lord would come back and still held on were all killed.

In Wen Rensheng's eyes, this was a great waste.

You must know that in any organization, believers are a minority and the most core force.

They are seeds and the cornerstone for the development and growth of the organization.

But the superiors often disdain them and instead reuse those so-called smart and smooth people.

It's like Hu Hai reused Zhao Gao and Yuan Shao didn't reuse Tian Feng.

And the people who were encouraged by Fang La basically had nowhere to escape.

They were killed one by one by the Song army. Only some of them who surrendered early could escape, which also depended on which generals they met.

In short, in the current situation, in the eyes of discerning people, Fang La could not win at all.

Fang La then took his people and fled all the way to his hometown.

He fled all the way to the familiar mountain.

Then he saw five guards appear on the roadside.

One of them stepped forward and stopped the carriage.

"Military Advisor, we have already anticipated this and sent us to pick up the Holy Lord. Please follow us into the mountain."

Hearing this, Fang La could still force himself to be patient and prepare to deal with the Taoist priest after seeing him.

At this time, Fang Fei next to him said sarcastically: "Hmph, what military advisor, he is just a Taoist priest in the mountains!"

"It is obvious that he was watching the success or failure in the mountains, with ulterior motives, colluding with the Song army, which led to our army's defeat!"

Several guards who responded to the call suddenly changed their faces when they heard this.

But it was difficult to say anything for a while.

Only one young man said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The military advisor has planned everything. He had expected that the quasi-saint would be defeated, so he asked us to come and take him in."

"The military advisor is very good to us. How could he collude with the hateful Song thieves?"

Fang Fei continued to sneer there: "Humph, it's true. He usually wins people's hearts, and now he clearly wants to seize power."

"Saint, you have to be careful!"

Others also said: "Saint, let's go find him quickly. We can't let him continue to lead the troops!"

Fang La didn't say much, and directly let the guards lead the way.

They were a group of remnants of the defeated army, about 700 to 800 people.

In fact, if they brought too many people, it would be impossible to escape.

Soon they abandoned the carriage and went up the mountain on foot.

Only some people carried food and water.

Then they followed the mountain trails, winding around, crossing streams, and passing through the forest. It took them five days to walk to the mountain stronghold built by Wen Rensheng.

Looking up, this mountain stronghold had been built very solidly in just a few months.

And the last road was a narrow path.

There were high cliffs on both sides. If you want to reach the mountain stronghold, you can only pass through the gap in the middle.

The gap is very narrow, only two people can pass side by side, and at the narrowest point, you can only pass sideways.

"How did he find such a dangerous place?"

You should know that Fang La often took people to the mountains to collect wood, but he didn't find this road.

This was naturally found by the seniors who used their super attributes and were familiar with the terrain.

It can be said that as long as someone was sent to guard the exit, with the quality of soldiers and military technology of this era, there was almost no other way except setting fire to the mountain.

Fang La in history also fled into the mountains.

But he was caught soon.

The premise is that he has not really built a strong and difficult-to-attack mountain stronghold in the mountains.

Coupled with the instability of the people inside, someone tipped him off, and he was naturally captured.

However, Wen Rensheng used all kinds of modern knowledge to build a strong enough mountain village, and the key was to have sufficient reserves.

Not to mention the Song army, even the Jin people couldn't defeat them in five or six years, let alone one year.

This is a common thing.

Even if it is a plain city, as long as the city is not too big, the city walls are relatively small, and there is sufficient water, food, and salt.

There are enough replacements available.

Even if we are besieged for three or five years, it will not be a problem.

The siege capabilities of this era were very poor, after all, artillery had not really matured yet.

Artillery is not yet mature, and the most powerful siege weapon is the return artillery.

But the Song army did not have such siege weapons.

Then Fang La led the people through the line of sky with difficulty, and then saw a solid city built of wood and stone.

It stands on a cliff and is built against the mountain, similar to the medieval Ouzhou Castle.

Fang La was shocked after seeing it.

On top of the mountain stronghold, there were arrow towers, sentry towers, protective ditches, protective walls, stones, firewalls... everything.

There are many rolling stones.

Anyone who wants to attack will feel like giving up after taking one look at it.

Wen Rensheng took the seniors and two other newcomers, and a group of guards came out to greet Fang La.

At this moment, Fang La suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly:

"If it is as the Taoist priest said, I have been waiting for several months to raise an army. It was prosperous at first, but now it is quickly extinguished."

"Many big cities have been lost one by one. I wonder if the Taoist priest can teach me anything?"

His face was cold, and although there was no scolding in his mouth, everyone could tell that something was wrong.

At this time, the novice man and woman suddenly became unhappy.

They murmured under their breath.

"Hmph, it really smells like Yuan Shao."

"Yes, Yuan Shao failed. Instead of pursuing his own problems, he angered Tian Feng and killed him."

"This is human nature."

"Human nature is really despicable, stupid and shameless."

"How dare you two, what are you talking about?" Fang Fei said angrily.

"To tell you the truth, we all know it. It was obviously you who had insider knowledge of the Song thieves and leaked the details of our army, which led to our defeat!"

Fang Hao also said: "That's why the Song army knows our details, so they can avoid the truth and take advantage of the truth, cut off our retreat, and capture our city."

"Otherwise, you monster, why did you conclude from the beginning that we can only hold on for a few months?"

"Then there's only one reason, and that's you. You will pass the news on to Thief Song in a few months!"

"Yes, that's it. Why did we lose so quickly!" Others also agreed.

They don't consider the enemy's strength at all, nor their own weakness, nor their incompetence.

They just want an excuse to blow off steam.

After all, they were at war with the imperial court and lost every battle.

Conquer a city and then lose a city.

Along the way, win first and then lose.

Seeing that the great foundation was destroyed by Song thieves.

They couldn't hold it in any longer.

The more this person fails, the harder it is to unite.

The more we win, the more we can unite together.

Of course, when victory reaches a peak, unity will not be achieved.

Human nature is like this, there are more times when there is disunity and less time when there is unity.

Because unity costs a lot to maintain, just like relationships, they only last if they run frequently.

If you don’t run, you will become indifferent.

So is unity.

At this moment, Wen Rensheng smiled slightly.

He did not explain, but said to everyone: "This matter is difficult to distinguish at the moment. I think you are all tired, so why not talk about it over some wine and meat."

Fang La was still a little hesitant, but Fang Fei said: "Okay, you are a demon and you still have some self-awareness, so hurry up and bring the good wine and food."

Hearing what he said, other people also started to make noises and wait until they eat.

And at this time.

The newlywed man and woman had strange expressions upon hearing this.

Wen Rensheng directly stretched out his hand, and soon a large number of people came up and led everyone to the canteen to eat.

Of course, the Fang family all gave Xiao Zao.

One meal lasted for more than two hours.

All food and wine are available.

But after eating, these people started to feel drowsy.

One by one they were quickly put to bed...

In the small kitchen, Wen Rensheng directly arranged for someone to leave.

The senior man was the first to jump in. He was wearing heavy armor.

Relying on his powerful physical attributes, he directly knocked down the four personal guards led by Fang La to the ground one by one.

In fact, the guards who were still with him now began to hesitate.

Therefore, when facing a sudden attack, he becomes distracted.

Others still wanted to resist.

As a result, it was only then that they realized that their whole bodies were weak and weak.

This is a mixture of mabo powder and liquor that works well and truly.

"Damn it, you devil, you really colluded with the Song thief!" Fang Fei cursed.

"Sir, why are you doing this? If you want to be rich, you can just take someone's head and ears from Fang!" Fang La sighed, looking like he was ready to catch him.

Others also cursed one by one.

Only then did Wen Rensheng walk into the room.

He smiled and said: "Haha, I was just trying to defend myself."

"That is simply unjustifiable."

"And the more I open my mouth to defend myself, the more you won't believe me. You'll just think I'm begging for mercy."

"Now your lives are in my hands, and everything I say is true."

"I and the weak Song Dynasty are simply at odds with each other. The Song thieves have long been corrupted. From the emperor to the civil servants, most of them are colluding and only know how to enjoy themselves. Only a few generals are still dedicated to serving the country."

"As for why you failed so quickly, of course it's because the Song army came this time from the Qin and Jin border troops."

"The armies of Qin and Jin were both frontier armies, and they often fought against Xixia and Liao."

"They are the most combat-effective part of the Song army, and they will soon go north to conquer the Liao Kingdom."

"Of course you will not be their opponent."

"But, if we can't win in the field, why did we fail to defend the city?" Fang La finally asked what he had always wanted to ask.

Wen Rensheng shook his head and said, "As for holding on to the city, many things are beyond your control."

"After you entered the city, although you did not carry out large-scale burning, killing and looting, you still looted large households."

"You can't control the soldiers, and the big local families are interested in the Song Dynasty. They won't listen to you at all."

"If you want to defend the city, you must control the local wealthy gentry."

"If you haven't taken over the big squire family, how can you hold on to it?"

Fang La suddenly realized.

Indeed, in such a huge city, as long as one big household secretly sends a message to the outside world in the middle of the night and then opens the city gate, they will definitely be defeated.

After thinking of this, Fang La was completely enlightened.

He couldn't help but beat his chest.

It is what it is.

several of the most important cities.

For example, Hangcheng and Qiancheng both failed when the city gates were opened in the middle of the night.

They lost in a confused manner and did not seriously engage in a fight with the Song thieves. The soldiers were in a panic and fled in all directions.

Later, he also learned the lesson and sent his trusted generals to guard the four gates.

As a result, the four gates were defended but the long city wall could not be defended.

It was midnight or early in the morning again, and the local big family sent people to contact the Song army outside the city.

Then they secretly used torches to communicate at night and threw ladders and ropes from the city walls.

The Song army ascended first and then broke through the city gate.

It can be said that Fang La's team never fought a decent battle from beginning to end.

This is not even as good as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At any rate, the Yellow Turbans can still hold on to the city and will not be manipulated by inside and outside forces.

Several failures were due to lack of food in the city.

Thinking of this, Fang La had nothing to say.

In the end, they didn't even win a single battle.

This is really embarrassing.

In fact, if he reads history carefully, he will understand.

Whenever the rebels wanted to hold on to the city, they killed all the big families in the city.

Only a large number of rebels are left to enter the city, and then they can defend it for as many days as they have food.

However, if the squires are not eliminated and are allowed to stay safely in the city, few of them will be able to hold on for a long time.

Just like Li Zicheng.

He obviously occupies many cities.

As a result, the field battle failed, and none of the remaining cities were able to hold on.

At the end of the day, they were completely defeated. Even though there was a dangerous point like Tongguan, they could not hold it.
