Chapter 775 This time we will achieve a truly brilliant victory!

"Brother Huang's army is still in front of the Daming Mansion?"

"The Daming Mansion has been unable to attack for a long time, and General Song came out to attack the camp at night, disturbing His Majesty... His Majesty was furious and ordered the three armies to besiege the city. It has been more than a month..."

"Hey...the King of Lanling is right. After all, the Song people in the Southern Dynasty still have the power to fight back. If this continues, the advantages established in the early days may be wiped out!"

Seeing that Li Yan led the township brave group to come forward in mighty form, and then set up camp without haste, and when he confirmed that the main force of the Liao army was also frustrated in front of the Daming Mansion, Yelude sighed heavily, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

The Liao Kingdom sent a [-] army to march south, many generals in the court were sharpening their swords, and there were also many courtiers who were not optimistic. Like Xiao Wuna, he did not agree to rush to send troops.

But the various advantages established before made Yelu Dezhong change his mind. The Southern Dynasty is so weak and cowardly, it would be a pity not to come and cut off a piece of flesh.

However, after the officers and soldiers retreated one after another, and the officials moved their capital to the south, it was actually the rise of civilian soldiers and bravery, especially this Lin Chong. He still has lingering fears when he recalls the last battle of Dulonggang, so he is threatening The next road gave way, and finally led the army to station in Zengtou City.

The worries in his heart became more and more serious, but Yelu Dezhong's expression quickly returned to calm, because footsteps came from behind, a powerful and richly dressed man walked over, knelt on the ground, and said in Khitan language: "Little Wuyan Sizhong, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Yelude turned around again, looked at the newborn girl, and hummed very noblely.

Avoiding the true taboo of Xingzong Yeluzong of Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe is now called the Nuzhi tribe in the Liao Dynasty, and there are two divisions of raw and mature.

In the eyes of the Khitan people, the straight people who gave birth to daughters were slaves who lived on their noses and deserved to be exploited. For plundering wealth, a word was born, called "beating straight girls".

As far as the Khitan nobles are concerned, the female straight clan is linked to "Citanqing".

That kind of eagle is produced in Haidong, and is most loved by the Khitan nobles who like to hunt. They conscript them from women and keep asking for them.

Under the influence of such deep-rooted dignity and inferiority, even if the man in front of him, whose original name was Wuyan Sizhong, has now changed his name to Zeng Nong, and has created such a family business in Shandong, he should be a humble existence in front of Yelu Dezhong.

Zeng Nong lowered his head, couldn't see the specific expression clearly, and his tone was indeed extremely respectful: "His Royal Highness, the Wuzhai people have been settled, and they only need to be transferred by His Highness!"

The defense system of Zengtou City is different from that of Zhujiazhuang. Zhujiazhuang can stop the army mainly because of the natural maze on Dulonggang, coupled with the defense of its own fortress, it is very difficult to attack, while Zengtou City is very difficult to attack. There are four villages in the southeast, north and west, plus the main body of Zengtou City in Zhongzhai, a total of five fortresses, large and small, echoing each other, and firmly controlling the land boundary of five hundred miles.

Now Yelu Dezhong and Zeng Nong are located in the Beizhai of Zengtou City, which is also facing the county. The rest of the soldiers and horses are gathered in the various fortresses, so there is no need to worry about being defeated by that invincible horse warrior. Yelu Dezhong was very satisfied with the surprise attack.

Thinking that this female straight person came to the Southern Dynasty only for more than [-] years, and she was able to lay down such a foundation, she is indeed a talent, Yelu Dezhong also comforted him: "Before I donated food, this king will remember your credit, this time it is even more important." You have proved your loyalty and bravery, get up! Come and see the enemy's situation!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zeng Nong kowtowed heavily, got up and came to his side, looking out.

After observing for a while, his expression became solemn: "The township warrior group led by Lin Chong is by no means weaker than the imperial court officers and soldiers. Your Highness must be careful!"

Setting up a camp can reflect the commanding ability of the general and the training level of the soldiers, and what appeared in front of Yelu Dezhong and Zeng Nong at this time was an army with a neat appearance and each performing their duties.

It might not be a strong army, but compared with the regular army of the imperial court, it is by no means inferior, and even compared with the local officers and soldiers in Shandong, it is a bit stronger.

At least that high-spirited fighting spirit made Zeng Nong feel palpitations. The other party should have received the news that the emperor fled to Jinling with all the officials, but he was not affected at all?

It's not surprising that Yelu won the weight. After all, the opponent's coach is a peerless general who can lead six hundred Liangshan minions to attack his ten thousand army, but he is not afraid: "This Lin Chong is very brave, and he has few opponents in horse warfare. Arrogant heart, this time there is no siege equipment, dare to bring a group of miscellaneous troops to attack the city, hmph! Just about to let him go home, defend with all your strength, just hold on for ten days, and the enemy will collapse by itself!"

Zeng Nong said: "Your Highness is here, the North Village is impenetrable, but I am worried that the enemy will bypass the North Village and attack the other four villages..."

Yelude caressed Xu and said with a smile: "You don't have to be alarmed, this time my [-] troops are guarding Wuzhai, and there are generals who know how to fight and are good at fighting, and Haidongqing is also sending messages to each other, so it will be safe!
"Lin Chong has only [-] soldiers under his command, and he is attacking the city. If he doesn't divide the troops, it's fine. After dividing the troops, there is no threat. This king really hopes that he will make such a foolish move!"

Once he heard about Hai Dongqing, his cheek muscles twitched indiscernibly, and he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

……

"Zengtou City is really not easy to attack, no wonder the Liao army wants to avoid it."

Right at the head of the city, Yelv had to re-set the ten-day ten-day ten-day timetable, and when the Xiaxiang Township's brave group set up camp, they were also observing the opponent's defense.

The fortress is not a formal city, but because the area to be defended is far smaller than the city, sometimes it is not much less difficult in terms of attack difficulty. Looking at the layers of fortifications in Zengtou City, bye, even a decent siege machine is not enough. No, many people were worried.

For example, Hu Cheng, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu and others inevitably worried that the siege would be too cruel and that too many Xiangyongs would be killed or injured, while Li Ying, Luan Tingyu and others were worried that the Xiangyong regiment would be frustrated and the Liao people would turn the tide of the battle again. Lu Junyi, Gongsun Zhao, and Wu Yong were very calm.

They all saw that the head coach Lin led the army, and he already had a good way to defeat the enemy. As long as the top and bottom work together, they will surely win.

When the camp was set up, Li Yan did indeed start to gather the generals. The first sentence at the beginning was: "Do you know anything about the relationship between the Khitan and Jurchen clans?"

Li Ying and the others were at a loss, and Wu Yong didn't know, but Gongsun Zhao, who was from Jizhou, knew a little bit about these things: "I heard that the Khitan nobles exploited the Jurchen a lot, and they often persecuted them for the sake of Haidongqing. There are at least a thousand Jurchens who died in the arrest of Hai Dongqing..."

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, Haidongqing is indeed a prominent contradiction between the two races, but it is far more than just one."

"The Liao Kingdom is a country composed of two modes of farming and nomadic animal husbandry. It has a very special north-south courtyard system."

"The bureaucratic system of the Southern Court mainly governs the Han people in the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun, Liaodong and other areas and the old people of the Bohai Sea, which belongs to the farming model, while the bureaucratic system of the Northern Court mainly governs the nomadic tribes in the desert and the northeast, which belongs to the nomadic model. The Jurchen tribe will be managed by the North Academy."

"As for this race, they were divided and ruled. The Jurchens with strong surnames were classified as mature Jurchens, who were the official population of the Liao Kingdom. Paying tribute is equivalent to a subject."

"What kind of Jurchen was this once?"

This time people in Shandong had the right to speak, and Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "This Zeng Nong started out selling ginseng, took root, and didn't want to reveal his identity. Later, he was discovered by a businessman from the Liao Kingdom, and there was a lot of trouble at that time. It was only when her identity was revealed, if she is a mature woman, there is no need to be like this, it seems that the birth girl really escaped."

Li Ying was puzzled: "Since Zeng Nong is the Sheng Juzhen who escaped, why did he join hands with Yelv De again?"

Li Yandao: "Because a person's origin is unavoidable. Since he is a Jurchen, now the Liao Kingdom has invaded the Song Dynasty, ravaged the people everywhere, and forged a bloody feud. When the Liao soldiers retreat, what will happen to Zengtou City?"

Everyone was stunned: "Naturally, the liquidation is done after the event, especially the officers and soldiers. They dare not fight the Liao people head-on. It is quite courageous to take down Zengtou City, so this person is forced to join hands with the Liao dog..."

Li Yan asked again: "How many people were there in Zengtou City?"

Li Yingdao: "The five villages add up to about [-] people."

Li Yan smiled: "That's it."

After listening to the conflict between Jurchen and Khitan, Wu Yong understood how to break the city. At this time, he explained to everyone in detail: "There are only [-] people in Zengtou City, and now there are [-] Liao soldiers stationed in four fortresses. Frustration is driven in, there is a gap in mentality, at this time, when they meet the birth girl who was originally regarded as a slave by them, how can the two sides get along?"

Gongsun Zhao went on to say: "To the people of Zengtou City, the Liao army was no match for my brother, so they retreated into their fortress, showing their power and pretentiousness. How could it not cause conflicts?"

Lu Junyi came to a sudden: "No wonder my brother didn't prepare siege equipment. If we wait for the siege to be too strong, it will actually promote the peaceful coexistence of the two parties. Now let them fight among themselves, we can take advantage of it and take down these thieves completely! "

Everyone admired such a clear battle strategy.

Li Yandao: "Not only can't give too much pressure, but also divide the troops into multiple ways, and the siege is not good, so that the anxiety in the city can be further aroused... Hu Cheng, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, Li Ying!"

Four people stepped forward: "The end is here!"

Li Yandao: "You each lead two thousand soldiers and horses, and attack the four villages separately, pretending that the attack is not good, can it be done?"

The four looked hesitant, and after a short pause, they said inconsistently: "Yes!"

Li Yandao: "Wu Yong, Gongsun Zhao, Lu Junyi, Luan Tingyu, the four of you divide up your army and assist!"

The four of them came out to take orders, especially Luan Tingyu, who was so excited to have such a chance to perform, and said loudly: "Obey!"

Li Yan finally made a conclusion: "From the moment the Liao army hid in Zengtou City, it was doomed to defeat. This time we will win a truly brilliant victory!"

……

"From the moment the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were divided into five groups, we were doomed to fail. If we stay for another five days, we will be able to win a brilliant victory!"

Yelude stroked his beard indifferently, commanding as if determined, and sure enough, not long after, there was the sound of the horn of the village brave group retreating in front of them.

He relaxed.

No wonder Song people like to defend the city. This kind of battle is really easy. Even if Lin Chong has the courage of all men, it is useless if he can't fight into the fortress.

However, when the soldiers retreated, some voices still came in:

"Liaogou, you only dare to hide in the fortress, and be a coward!"

"Still relying on the protection of the Jurchens, after you Khitan escape, don't you still want to offer your wives and daughters to the Jurchens as 'recommended pillows'?"

"Khitans are Jurchen dogs! Khitans are Jurchen dogs!"

Yelv Dezhong has always believed that showing off his words is not a skill at all.

But the other party specifically grabbed Khitan and Jurchen, and many words were extremely ear-piercing, which made the prince frown, got up and walked towards the center of the village.

It is impossible for him to be stimulated, just keep the camp well, don't look at Lin Chong's consecutive victories and his morale is high, once he can't attack for a long time, the battle will turn again.

After all, the opponent was not leading a regular army. The emperors of the Southern Dynasties all abandoned their country and fled. After this group of local miscellaneous soldiers suffered setbacks, did their morale plummet?
However, he was thinking about sweeping Shandong again, and rushed to Bianjing City to join forces first, the guards rushed forward and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the young master was drunk and beat Zeng Xiaolang to death in Zhongzhai!"

Yelu Dezhong's body froze, and his expression changed instantly.
