The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 240: Arranging Troops

In ancient times, with the rise of cities, more and more cities with fortifications were built, and the towns themselves were located in important strategic locations, making urban offensive and defensive wars a common thing. Sometimes, even though the city is guarded, the city is guarding.

It is only a small force, but the siege needs a large army than the defenders to capture it. Because the siege also needs sufficient troops to control the adjacent areas around the castle, repel the rescue troops, and directly attack the stronghold or

Siege is an extremely consuming action.

When the enemy approaches the city, the defender will adopt the urgent income protection strategy, allowing local residents to retreat to the castle with their valuables, especially food and weapons. However, if the government believes that the siege will last for a long time

, the elderly, weak, women and children who cannot participate in the war will be blocked outside the door to avoid consuming food, while civilians struggle between being killed and starved during the entire siege, knowing that the defenders surrender or the evacuation of the siege will be considered as the end

Therefore, civilians are least willing to see the war lasting, and guarding the city requires a lot of manpower and material resources to supervise and manage the residents in the city.

At this time, Lingzhou City had been surrounded for a month, and the surrounding fortresses had basically been eliminated, and the food and grass collected were enough to maintain for a period of time. A batch of new weapons and ammunition manufactured by Sun Erqian was also sent after the weather improved.

At the forefront of Lingzhou, various siege preparations have been completed. Pre-war mobilization and training have been basically completed, and the time for siege is gradually ripe.

After several rounds of public opinion wars and psychological wars by Zhao Qiong, the pressure on Weiming Anhui increased dramatically. The Song army occupied Dongguan Town and blocked the passage to Xingzhou. After he "accepted" Tiemen Pass's lesson

.I just decided to find one truth - he would never leave the city even if he was beaten to death. In the city, he did three things: one was to try every means to send people out of the city to Xingzhou for help to break the siege of Xingzhou; the other was to rush to set up the city-guarding equipment and recruit soldiers.

From ninety-nine to the next level, all the men who had just left were organized into the city defense force and tied all the soldiers and civilians in the city to their own tanks; third, centralized management of grain, unified allocation, and united the military and civilians with food.

'Around itself, the army is of course the priority. The second is the ethnic minorities who surrendered to the Western Xia, while the Han people are the objects of supervision. The wealthy property is confiscated to serve as military expenses. Like the poor people, they can only obtain food for their lives.

But he has to bear the heaviest labor.

On that crazy rainy night, the Xingzhou naval army was completely wiped out, which became Xingzhou's last effort to rescue Lingzhou. Wei Ming Anhui also gave up and made up his mind to live and die with Lingzhou. He put away his past

The side of benevolence, righteousness and morality is undoubtedly revealed, and the internal nature was first cleaned up. Anyone who tends to surrender will be executed and their family wealth will be confiscated. At the same time, the control of the people will be strengthened. Martial law is strictly enforced in the city, and those who are slightly dissatisfied will be punished by swords and guns.

Seeing the high-pressure rule, before the war started, Lingzhou City was already in a bloody storm...

"Have the Song army started to attack the city?" The commander of the Lingzhou governor was set up in the old palace in the city. After all, Wei Ming Anhui was a civil servant. Although he was separated by two walls, he was still a little panicked and rumbled.

The sound of cannon reminded him of that terrifying night again. The people who followed him out of seclusion were gone. Seeing that the person who was sending to reconnaissance the enemy situation came back. He asked quickly.

"Report to the prince, the Song army bombarded the Nancheng and destroyed the city towers, corner towers and arrow towers at the top of the city. Hundreds of soldiers were injured and killed, but they did not launch an attack afterwards. Instead, they sent someone to shoot a letter to the prince!"

Reported, and then took out a letter from his arms and presented it with his hands.

"I ordered Lingzhou Prefecture to send people to repair the city defense immediately and mobilize soldiers to go to the city to set up defense. The Song army has always been cunning and used the tactic of trying to get, so we must not slack off!" Wei Ming Anhui heard the news that the Song army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and secretly secretly

Relieve, gave several orders, and then opened the letter. Over the days, he finally realized the feeling of living like a year. He has become much older, with white hair on his temples and a few wrinkles on his smooth forehead.

Suddenly I got depression, couldn't sleep at night, and had a bad temper during the day...

"This boy is abominable. He is too tyrannical. He actually wants to surrender to me. He is so angry..." Wei Ming Anhui penetrated his pupils, swept away all the things on the table, and sprinkled the pen, ink, paper and ink all over the floor.

"The prince calms down. This is the treacherous plan of the Song thief. Now there are rumors in the city that killing generals who offer the city will be granted titles and officials, rewarded with millions of dollars, and given hundreds of silks; those who surrender at the time of the battle will be exempted from death; killing the first-level officer of the commander-in-chief.

The one who rewarded ten thousand yuan..." He followed him to support the prince while persuading him.

"Get out, do you want to kill me and get the reward? Take it out and chop it!" This follower really couldn't speak, and flattered him and hit the horse's hooves, as if adding fuel to the fire, causing Wei Ming Anhui to be

He was furious and immediately heard the call, two guards came in and dragged the follower out.

"The order was sent to the whole city to search. Anyone who talked about killing generals and offered sacrifices to the city, spread rumors and gathered without authorization will be executed on the spot!" Wei Ming Anhui opened another magic box in a rage. Most of the soldiers guarding the city came from

The people in the Xiliang Army Department still retain the habit of nomadic peoples liking to plunder. When this killing begins, there is no way to stop it. A campaign to fight against traitors quickly turned into a catastrophe and a carnival of chaos. Just watch

When he went to a family with a little wealth, he started a massacre under the name of "cooperating with the enemy"... All night, there were sounds of killing in Lingzhou City, and countless people were corpses on the streets, and their families were destroyed!

The next day was the last day of the Song army's siege. Wei Ming Anhui certainly did not believe Zhao Qi's nonsense. He ordered the Xia army to not disarm the armor and the horses did not remove their saddles and were on guard, but he wasted all the time.

On September 11th, this is the day, and the Xia army is more vigilant, but even the Song army is not seen; in the early morning of the next day, the Song army's large brigade suddenly appeared in the East City, and alarms arose in the city, and the whole army goes to the city

Be on guard and mobilized men to reinforce the East City. But just now, the Song army appeared in the west city again, transporting soil and filling the trenches, and the Xia army quickly divided the troops to the west, but when the people arrived, the Song army also withdrew... and often struggled again and again

One day, Xia Jun was so busy that he was overwhelmed.

The next few days, Song Jun was full during the day and woke up at night. Sometimes he would go out for a walk, but Xia Jun was always so troubled that he couldn't bear it. Even Wei Ming Anhui's eyes were like rabbits and insomnia

After being cured, he was hit by a chair and his head touched the pillow, and he immediately fell asleep. He guarded against thieves every day, and everyone was tired of the Xia army. He ignored Song army beating drums and gongs under the city.

Let them mess around!

... ...

On September 15th, the first fire army cooked the meal early in the Yin hour of the Song army camp. Today's meal was more hearty than before. Eat large pieces of meat and drink the meat soup. At the end of the Mao hour, the whole army had a full meal.

The drums gathered together, and after the three-way drum, the commanders and generals of the army gathered together to command the tent.

"Everyone, our army has been besieging the city for many days, and today is the day of the decisive battle!" Zhao Qiong said loudly.

"Abide by the king's order!" The generals in the tent saluted, of course, including the generals of the Shaanxi army. What they eat, drink, and use now, even the two masters of the commander are in their hands. How can they not bow their heads?

.

"Zhao Ren, deputy commander of the Zhongyong Army, obeyed the order!"

"The last one is here!" Zhao Ren answered out of the list.

"You are appointed as the commander of the former army, leading the dragon general, lion general, tiger general, leopard general and his subordinates to attack Lingzhou City!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Zhao Ren stepped forward and took over the Jin praising order and said.

"Yao Gu, the governor of Jingyuan Road of Shaanxi Army, and Liu Yanqing, the governor of Jingyuan Road of Fuyan Road, obeyed the order!"

"The last one is here!" the two of them answered in unison and bowed to the side.

"Yao Gu ordered you to be the commander of the Left Army, lead the troops of the headquarters to lie near the east gate, intercept the Xia army from the city, wait for an opportunity to enter the city, and join forces in the inner city of Lingzhou!"

"Liu Yanqing ordered you to be the commander of the Right Army, lead the troops of the headquarters to lie near the West Gate, intercept the Xia army, block the reinforcements of Jing and Yong states, if invincible, you will wait for an opportunity to enter the city, control the West Gate, and join the inner city!"….

"Abide by the king's order!" The two generals took the token and retreated.

"Qin Feng, Hedong Army, Han Tong obeyed the order!" The two bowed and left the line. Zhao Qi continued: "I ordered you and the two of you to lead your troops as the rear army to protect Dongguan Town, ensure that the food and grass are not lost, and at the same time block Xing.

State reinforcements!”

"Zhou Dajun, the envoy of Linzhou regiment training, I ordered you to be the commander of the Central Army and command the archers of Hedong camps to protect the Central Army!" Zhao Qi said.

"I will obey the order!" Zhou Dajun was surprised and came forward to receive the order. What a great responsibility to protect the prince. In the past, the loyal and brave army guarded the central army. Today it was his turn, which shows that the prince had regarded himself as his confidant.

"Zhao Zhi obeys the order!" Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Zhi and said, "You lead the Zhongyong Army's baggage battalions and civilians from all states as supporters, responsible for treating the wounded, collecting the remains, transporting ammunition and materials. The responsibility is equally serious, and there must be no losses!"

"Don't worry, my grandfather, I will fulfill my mission!" Zhao Zhi had a little regret for not being able to participate in the direct battle, but he still bowed to accept the order.

"Lingzhou has been trapped by the head of the Xia thief for a hundred years. It has pacified the northwest and recovered the land of Henan. To fulfill this wish, hundreds of thousands of passionate men in the Song Dynasty have sprinkled blood from the northwest, and their souls have been lost in the desert today!

In the battle, we will save a hundred years of shame, recapture Lingzhou, and revitalize the power of our Western Army. Our names will be passed down in history forever!" Zhao Qiong had finished his troops and stood up and said.

"I will win, I will win..." The roars of the generals rushed to the sky!

The generals led their troops away, and Zhao Qi led his troops to form a formation under the southern city of Lingzhou. The alarm bells in Lingzhou City were not ringing. The Xia army was used to it and thought that the Song army was traveling the second half of the city again. After a while, they went back for lunch, but did not find out.

There is murderous intent behind the door flag.

"See the prince. The selection camp of the loyal and brave army has been assembled. Please review it!" A team of soldiers behind the formation had been lined up, and a general came out to report.

"Okay..." Zhao Qiong said in a word, and tears were filled with tears. Although he had experienced this scene many times in his previous life, he still couldn't suppress his feelings. The team in front of him would first step into the battlefield and climb to the city

The head, but I don’t know how many people there are among them who can see the victory. They are warriors and death soldiers. They are the essence of this team, their bones and blood, their sons, husbands and fathers...
