She Song

Chapter 252: Your Highness, it’s time to attack the city!

The generals of the Western Army, led by Zhongshi Daozhongshizhong, stood behind King Yun Zhao Kai, looking at the [-]-strong "Hu Ben Army" with complicated eyes. Yes, Zhao Ji gave the new army the opportunity to go out with a stroke of his pen. The name of Huben.

Seventy percent of the annual income of the Song Dynasty was used for military expenditures, of which 30% was used to support the Western Army. If the annual income is 5000 million guan, the [-] Western Army would spend [-] million guan a year. It is a well-deserved gold-swallowing behemoth. .

However, this giant beast that had sucked up the essence and blood of the Song Dynasty was defeated by [-] party members. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Kai arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he summoned the generals of the Western Army and proposed a strategy of working together to defeat Li Qianshun and regain Yan'an.

The Zhong family brought 2 horses without hesitation, Yao Gu brought 5, and the others ranged from [-] to [-], but at least [-] horses were gathered to support King Yun.

However, when they saw the Huben army commanded by Zhao Kai, they immediately experienced envy, jealousy and hatred.

The best equipment, the transport capabilities of mules and horses, the officers and soldiers carried out orders and prohibitions as one, and everyone had high morale.

In comparison, the soldiers of the Western Army are complete bumpkins.

Yao Pingzhong said enviously: "His Royal Highness's personal army is different!"

His uncle Yao Gu gave his nephew a cold look, and Yao Pingzhong knew that this meant he should be careful what he said.

But Yao Pingzhong has his own ideas, especially after the dead eunuch who suppressed him for many years is really dead, he feels that he will definitely wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Sure enough, the Dangxiang people came, and then the most favored King Yun of the official family came. It was rumored that His Highness had the intention to compete for the throne, so what he pursued diligently was military exploits.

So as the leader of the younger generation of the Western Army, isn't it logical to attack the city for King Yun?

As my uncle gets older, he is more and more holding on to the idea of ​​​​keeping things in order, but in this world, if you don't fight for it, you can only eat some leftovers!
Seeing Zhao Kai surrounded by the brightly armored Tigers and Tigers, Yao Pingzhong sighed silently: This is what a real man should be like!
In the military tent, Zhao Kai asked: "My little king is here for the first time. How can I defeat the Western thieves and take back Yan'an Mansion? Please give me some advice from all the generals!"

The generals didn't even dare to say it, and they all looked like they were thinking hard.

After a moment, Yao Pingzhong said loudly: "Your Highness, I have a plan. I dare not say that we will annihilate all the Western thieves, but we are [-] to [-]% sure of recapturing Yan'an Mansion."

The certainty of [-]% to [-]% is already very high!
Seeing people cheering for him, Zhao Kai was quite satisfied. He quickly found Yao Pingzhong in the crowd and smiled softly: "I have heard that the young prince is both wise and brave. If he has any clever ideas, it's okay to tell him!"

Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the other party calling him by his nickname, which meant that the other party had already asked about him.

Immediately he marched to the map, pointed at Yan'an Prefecture and said: "Because the two wings of cavalry are guarding the Yan'an Prefecture, the number of Western bandits in Yan'an Prefecture is about ten thousand. If troops are sent to resist the two wings and delay time, the Huben army can go straight to Yan'an Prefecture. Thirty thousand versus ten thousand, there is an [-]% chance of winning.”

Zhao Kai felt that this plan was feasible, so he asked: "Do you have any different opinions?"

The generals of the Western Army looked at Zhong Shidao. After all, he was the face of the Western Army.

The elegant Zhong Shidao felt the eyes of everyone, so he smiled slightly and said: "The reason why Li Ni occupied Yan'an Mansion was because the Lou family supported him. Taiyuan Mansion is only two days' journey from Yan'an Mansion. Ruohu Ben's army can recover within two days." This plan is feasible in Yan'an!"

To be honest, the Western Army was not afraid of the party members, but the Lou family's [-] cavalry made the Western Army throw caution to the wind, so Zhong Shidao first raised the issue of Jurchens to see Zhao Kai's determination.

Zhao Kai thought for a while and asked Zhong Fu, Chief of Staff of the Huben Army: "Chief of Staff Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhong Fu answered calmly in front of all the generals of the Western Army: "If our colleagues in the Western Army can hold off [-] Western thieves for one day, the Huben Army will definitely conquer Yan'an!"

This is an army of counter-general Zhong Shidao.

Aren't you questioning the ability of the Huben army to attack tough problems?Then of course I want to weigh the field level of your Western Army!
buzz~
The generals of the Western Army suddenly started talking about it.Seeing that a yellow-haired boy was speaking so arrogantly, Zhongshi immediately responded and supported his brother, saying: "Since the Huben Army is fully confident that there are only [-] Western thieves, we, the Western Army, can take them!"

Zhao Kai was naturally very clear about the combat power of the Huben Army, but he still had doubts about whether the Western Army could fight [-] to [-], so he said: "There is no joke in the army!"

Master Zhong knew very well that the Western Army and Dangxiang had been at war for hundreds of years, and each other had long known that it might be difficult for the Western Army to win this battle, but it would definitely be no problem to cover the Huben Army and capture Yan'an in one day.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhongshidao guarantees it with his head. Within one day, we will not let a single Western thief harass the Tiger Army!"

Zhao Kai immediately smiled and said: "Okay! Let's make detailed arrangements!"

Zhong Shidao led his headquarters to defend the east, Yao Gu led his headquarters and other miscellaneous troops to defend the west, and the Huben army conquered Yan'an City with all their strength.

Subsequently, the Song Army began to deploy troops in accordance with the military deployment. At the same time, Li Qianshun in Yan'an Prefecture also detected the changes in the Song Army.

The Song Army is about to attack!

"Send Brother Cha to be fully prepared and inform the Jin Army of Taiyuan Prefecture that the Song Army is aggressively invading!"

According to Li Qianshun's thinking, even though the Song army had [-] troops, the Dangxiang army also had [-] troops.

It might be possible to take advantage of the opportunity to clear out the Jingzhao Mansion's defense forces, and it would be much easier to send the army southward at that time.

However, Brother Cha quickly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Song Army's Tiger and Guard troops are well-organized and well-equipped. Judging from the enemy's strength, they should be the main siege force!"

Li Qianshun frowned. Can Yan'an be conquered with only [-] elite Song troops?

But he also thought that Brother Cha had always been meticulous and cautious. If there was no danger, he would never give a special warning.

"In this case, we will take three thousand troops from the left and right wings and march into the city. This battle will attract the main force of the Song army to Yan'an Mansion, which will help the Jurchens outflank them. Therefore, the number of troops on both wings cannot be reduced!"

Brother Cha thought for a while, with 3 defenders, even if the opponent is elite, there are only [-], so it should be relatively safe.

Therefore, both sides adjusted their deployments that night, and at dawn, the Huben army launched an attack.

Zhong Fu, who had experienced wilderness battles, advocated the fire coverage method, so fifty large and small trebuchets continuously bombarded the top of Yan'an City. An hour later, the southern half of Yan'an City was already shaking with fireworks.

More than half of the [-] hedgehogs gathered under the southern city wall died in the flames.

The other party did not send a single soldier, and they were short of 4000 or [-] men. This made Li Qianshun and Brother Cha stunned!

Moreover, the city wall collapsed in many places under the double blow of boulders and explosive charges, allowing the opponent's cavalry to rush directly into the city.

Fuck, is there such a war?

The generals of the Western Army who witnessed this scene were also dumbfounded. If the bombardment continued for another hour, Li Qianshun would have nowhere to hide!
Zhong Fu nodded and suggested to Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, we can attack the city!"
