Chapter 128 Liang Xing’s wonderful siege in lure Lu and restore the old city!

For a moment, everyone was silent. Yang Zaixing said, "Well! If we don't fight the Jin thief, we can only wait for the Jin thief to fight. Sooner or later, it will be a big deal. If we fight the Jin thief, but there is no food and grass, we can't fight for a long time, so we will take the city and cannot occupy it firmly. What should we do?"

The quarrels in the hall were quarrels and could not be calmed down for a long time. Everyone didn't know how to answer Yang Zaixing's question.

Luo Yan stood up and shouted, "Everything is stopped, let's listen to the elder brother!" Seeing that everyone stopped talking, they bowed to Yang Zaixing: "Brother's meaning is that he can't fight and he can't defend himself. How can he live a life?"

Yang Zaixing stood in the hall and looked around: "Although Taihang can accommodate millions of soldiers, if it is just a village on the mountain, it will be a matter of no matter. Without its own city and land, it will not be able to produce food and self-sufficiency, which will eventually be a big problem! Jiangnan should not rely on it for a long time. If the thief cut off the river and cannot send supplies for three or three months, wouldn't Taihang be dangerous?"

"The ancient city needs to be attacked, but the food and grass are limited, so we cannot fight for too long, and we cannot occupy many cities at the same time. At present, there are only 700 available horses available for Taihang. If it is not flexible enough when it is dispatched, it cannot compete with the thieves with cavalry. The only thing that can be done is to rely on the high walls and deep ditches to let the thieves attack. If it cannot be captured for a few times, it will naturally be stable. At that time, when we attack, we will be able to move a few more times. If the thief is afraid, our place will be safe and land will be available. But this matter is not too late. Seeing that spring is coming, if it cannot be done, it will be a mistake for the farming season. Look, where is the best city to attack?"

Everyone was very happy to hear that they wanted to attack the city. Although the villages had been trying to go down the mountain for a long time, they had few soldiers and were unable to join the same place. There was no big problem with self-protection. However, the harvest of growing grain on the mountain was very limited, and self-sufficiency was a big problem, let alone feeding a larger army. The village had robbed the Jin soldiers' food and grass several times this year, and it was considered a warm winter. Otherwise, Yang Zaixing would have seen the situation much more miserable!

But there are great differences on where to attack and which city to attack.

Some wanted to fight Huaizhou, some were going to fight Zhengzhou, and some were going to fight Luoyang. For a moment, there was a constant quarrel in the hall.

"It's good to fight anywhere, but what we want is a place where we can plant grain with peace of mind, not a place where four battles are fought. If there are cities occupied by thieves around, how can we be farmed with peace of mind? This battle requires land to be captured, but not too many Jin thieves. With the current military and armor of the Taihang River is not complete. If the soldiers are not trained, it is really difficult to fight against too many enemies. So this time, we will fight an isolated city. There is no big city around and not many Jin soldiers inside. If there is land around, what are you thinking?" Yang Zaixing raised this question. It seems difficult, and the requirements are both numerous and harsh. But strangely, everyone quickly reached an agreement this time.

"Jincheng!"

"That's true!" Gao Lin stood up and said, "On the two sides of Qinshui, there are hundreds of miles of fertile soil. How can you get tens of thousands of people? Although the city is high and steep, there are few Jin thieves inside. It's easy to fight, but there are no big cities around. The nearest one is two hundred miles away. If the Jin thieves come, they will be more prepared. At most, the enemy can retreat back to the mountain for a long time. But there are thousands of defenders in the city, and the city is high and the pool is deep. How to fight depends on it."

Liang Xing sat in the first seat of the guest seat. After hearing this, he stood up and bowed: "Brother Yang is indeed a wonderful plan. Liang thought that Jincheng is not difficult to fight!"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar. Liang Xing then told the story. After hearing this, everyone stroked their hands and shouted Miao. Then they decided to attack Jincheng. Each village went to prepare its own men and soldiers. More than 40 villages in Taihang were mobilized, and the day was set on February 30th.

Zezhou Prefecture Jincheng is the capital of Zezhou Prefecture. It is the key to the three Jins. It can be used to force Heluo to go south. It can be used to go east to reach Kaifeng. Last year, only the Han army guarded it and was taken down by Liang Xing. However, when the Jin soldiers launched a large-scale counterattack, Wushu led his troops to attack, but he could not defeat it, so he had to give up. Now with Yang Zaixing, Yue Lei and others, the Taihang camps worked together, which is naturally different. There are less than 2,000 defenders in the city, half of them are Jurchen cavalry and half are Han infantry. But the Han army cannot be considered soldiers in the city at all. To put it bluntly, they are just slaves. Seeing that the cavalry were wandering around, the Han army had to open up wasteland and farm land and store autumn grains themselves. They were so busy that the land had not frozen, and they had to wait for several days. The Han army in the city were all managing and preparing farm tools, and less than two thousand Song people who were raped were also among them, but they were suffering even more.

Around February 20th, on the mountain far away in Jincheng, there were constant reconnaissance cavalry coming down the mountain. At first, there were not many, and there were no one in the city. Later, they blatantly appeared dozens of times a day, and in groups. The guard in the city was Meng'an Bojin, named Balu. He was used to being idle all day long. He was used to being idle in the city. He was just a pastime for the people of Song in the city. When he had the opportunity, he would go down Taihang Mountain. As long as he was scared, the rebels on the mountain did not dare to go down the mountain, he would return with a laugh.

But in the past few days, Balu felt something was wrong: Did the Song people on the mountain eat leopards? How dare they come to see Jincheng? To say that the city is several meters tall, the golden cavalry in the city is not something that the rebels can deal with, how can they dare to stroke the tiger's beard?

But this thought did not make Ba Lu too cautious. In his opinion, if there were indeed Song people to attack the city, it would be a huge pastime. It would be good to kill a few more and then rob some of them to farm. With this intention, Ba Lu also asked his cavalry to go out in one team of three or five people to see if anyone went down the mountain in Taihang Village, but ordered that they would not be alarmed and just wait for the rebels to attack the city.

Unfortunately, the heavens did not follow the wishes of others. After three or five days, there was no big group of Song people coming to attack. However, under Taihang Xing, tens of thousands of Song people gathered, holding wooden spears, not even a spear head, just a sharpened long wooden stick, and it gathered more and more. It seemed that it was coming to attack the city, but it was just a few days ago. Balude reported that the cages were prepared in the city early, preparing to capture thousands of Song people to plant land outside the city. However, three days later, there was still no movement. The spies just reported that the Song people cut wood into wars all day, and had reached more than 20,000 people, and there was no sign of launching them.

When Ba Lu heard the news, he felt anxious: "I'm still waiting for a bird! If the Southern Barbarians don't come, will we not kill him?"

Now he told the Han army to defend the city and lead all over a thousand elite cavalry out of the city. After all, there were nearly 20,000 people on the other side. If they were killed seriously, they would be afraid that the ants would bite the elephant to death.

After leaving the city for more than 30 miles, it was a valley below the Taihang Mountains. According to the spies' reward, this was the gathering point of the Song people. However, when Balu led his team into the valley, he saw tents all over the ground. There were only a few Song people cleaning up there in the distance. There were only a hundred people, and they were scattered everywhere, but there were nearly 20,000 people?

Ba Luyan saw that there were many tents on the ground, but it was a spy who reported the mistake, but where did these Song people go? Ba Lu followed the usual strategy: fight more and think less! So he shouted and led the team to rush over, thinking that even if he caught a hundred Song people, this trip would not be in vain.

But the Song people were slippery and tightly. When they saw the army, they shouted and rushed into the forest on the slope. They boldly stretched out their heads to watch Balu approaching. When the brigade approached, even the Song people just now disappeared.

Ba Lu was very upset and shouted in the valley: "Get out of the Southern Barbarians!"

Before he finished speaking, he was as he wished. The sound of horse hooves in front of him sounded, and more than a hundred cavalry appeared in the valley. The leader was wearing fish scale armor, holding an iron spear, and covered with cowhides. He turned out to be a standard Song army general. The men behind him also looked vicious. One of the young generals looked only in his teens, but also had a fierce look.

Balu laughed a few times: Such a barbarian dared to face our army? He immediately urged his horse with a big sword and led the team to pounce. Who knew that after turning a corner, the road became narrower, and a loud noise in front of him, the other party was missing. However, on both slopes, the rolling stones and trees were thrown down like a desperate attempt, and blocked the way.

Balu thought it was not good, and as soon as he pulled his horse and turned around, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: the stones behind him were also rolling wood to block the way.

At this time, Song people continued to pour out from the jungle on both slopes. Although there were only more than 2,000 people holding iron equipment and the others were pure wooden spears, the number was less than 20,000. The thousand cavalry of Balu's troops, under the gaze of 20,000 Song people, were like a lonely boat in the waves, panic.

Liang Xing and Yang Zaixing looked at each other and smiled: This is when the troops are not fully equipped, without a single arrow or a single shot, the main force can be wiped out. However, the victory must be due to the large number of people. If there are fewer people, it may not be trapped at the moment.

"The Southern Barbarians! You dare to fight with grandpa!" Balu was sweating all over, but he could see that Yang Zaixing and Liang Xing were the leaders of these Song people. They still wanted to fight to trap beasts and invite them to fight.

Upon hearing this, Yue Lei bowed to Yang Zaixing and said, "Uncle, let my nephew fight this thief!"

Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "When the beast goes crazy, are you crazy with him? If my nephew wants to make a contribution, can you let your uncle see your archery technique?"

Liang Xing nodded and smiled, and took off an iron-tied bow from the horse's back: "You can try it, my nephew. This bow was given by Brother Yue back then, so it took a little effort to drive it."

Yue Lei was overjoyed, and he pulled the arrow and shot towards Balu. Seeing that the situation was not good, Balu was prepared for it, but the arrow was too fast, and he heard the string sound and reached his ear. When he was dodging sideways, he had cut off the rib rope of the helmet and cut the earlobe. He felt the severe pain, and the sound of breaking through the air was loud. He hurriedly leaned down, but he tried a severe pain on his left leg and fell off his horse.

"I won't get off the horse and die!" Yang Zaixing shouted loudly, and the sound of the song people raised more than 2,000 bows in the middle, and looked at the trapped cavalry in the middle. Although the thieves were brave, they were not ignorant of life and death. After seeing a few who wanted to rush up the horse and rush up the hill, they got off the horse and threw the soldiers, obediently carried their heads up the mountain, and were taken into the forest by the rebels.

"Brothers, those who can ride horses, let's go to Jincheng!" Gao Lin shouted, and the four fields roared.

Balu struggled to get up from the ground, and the young general who was shooting an arrow was immediately ahead. In shock and anger, he rushed forward with a knife, but saw an iron spear poking out from the head of the horse. While picking off the big knife, the spear head pierced into his throat.

"Okay! This is the first golden thief killed by my nephew, so I want to congratulate you!" Yang Zaixing praised.

Yue Lei's face was flushed when he heard this. Wang Lan asked on the side: "Brother, how should these prisoners be dealt with?"

Yang Zaixing thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "No one left! To sacrifice to Brother Yue's heroic spirit!"
