Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 231
Wang Xiu's main camp was brightly lit, and there were fires everywhere, otherwise he would not be able to resist the cold at night.

Just when Wang Xiu was wondering, she felt that the city was pitch-dark tonight, and the momentum was a bit different from before, as if there were fewer of them?

Then I heard the sound of horseshoes in the snow, coming from the south.

"Report...report to the king."

When he got close, a soldier rolled down his horse out of breath, "The big thing is not good. The south gate of Chizhou suddenly opened wide, and many troops rushed out and attacked the southern camp. It was beyond everyone's expectations. Now there It's messed up."

"What are you panicking about!"

Having said that, Wang Xiu was also shocked and shouted, "Where is the army, how many are there, and who is in command?"

The little soldier was even more flustered, "I don't know, I only know that there are a lot of people. They didn't wear official uniforms, but they continued to emerge from the south gate. They were not afraid of death, and they started to attack the southern camp very bravely. Please make a quick decision, or the southern camp may support you." Not too long."

Wang Xiu was not in a hurry, but was more puzzled.Can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in Zhao Cheng's gourd?

This seems to be an act of sending him to death after he ran out of supplies for defending the city, desperate?
Theoretically speaking, Zhao Cheng seems to want to run away, and also seems to want to attract Laozi to chase him and let Chizhou City go?

But since this is the case, it is right to attack the saturated city from the other three sides quickly. The city should be broken tonight, and Chizhou's defense force has officially been exhausted.

Seeing that Wang Xiu only squinted his eyes to think and didn't respond, the little soldier said eagerly again: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate, they are coming in a menacing manner, the number of them is unknown, but they are no less than the people in our southern camp, and they are extremely brave. If you don't make a quick decision I'm afraid something will happen to Nanying..."

"To shut up!"

Wang Xiu waved the little soldier to the ground, and said coldly: "Xue Jing can bear it. Zhao Cheng and those people are just mobs, and it is impossible to have a professional army for him now. If Xue Jing even a group of farmers If he can’t bear it, what’s the use of him? It’s a waste of food for him to join my cottage. Give me an order, it’s smoke, don’t worry about the south gate, break the city tonight, immediately attack from three sides, all the ladders and rush cars together superior."

Xue Jing used to be the No. [-] person in Chizhou, but later merged into Wang Xiu's village, and is now the fourth in charge.

It’s not a matter of heart disease, but Wang Xiu knows very well that there must be sacrifices in war. Since Zhao Cheng has made a bet, he must pay some price to break Chizhou City. It is good that Xue Jing, who is relatively foreign, pays this price .

Even if he was really eaten by Zhao Cheng, it wouldn't hurt his muscles and bones in total, and it would reduce the friction in the future, making it easier to achieve a balance.

Li Tianrun next to him hesitated for a while and still felt that something was wrong, so he leaned closer and whispered, "If you don't save Xue Jingbu, I'm afraid it will be a bit..."

Li Tianyun is not a small soldier, so Wang Xiu explained patiently, "There will always be people who die in a war, and Chizhou is our overall interest. Xue Jing knew this point when it came out. In addition, there is no more time to think about it. It’s not small, it’s extremely cold at night and it’s hard to see anything. Now the blizzard has just stopped, and there is half a foot of snow near the city. A large area leaves the main camp and goes around the south gate to support him. It will take a moment to march at the fastest speed. What if it is Zhao Cheng has a well-prepared strategy, which is tantamount to being led by the nose. Let alone the impact on morale, do you know what the cold damage will be if you leave the main battalion and march under the current temperature?"

"Xue Jing and the others are completely blind. They can't even judge the opponent's number and combat strength clearly. What if it's just the smoke of a small death squad?"

"This……"

Listening to these rhetoric, it is not convenient for Li Tianlun to say it.So far, I can only believe that Xue Jingbu can hold it, and then the other three sides can break through Chizhou City the fastest.

As a result, the order to attack Chizhou City in an all-round way was issued, and the drums and thunder were everywhere, and all the ladders were gathering, and they would be in place in a short time.

The shouts of killing in the first period have been one after another, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is the cruel sound brought by the siege, or the shouts brought about by the massacre at the south gate. In short, they are all intertwined, and they are waiting for the result. Only then will there be the truth.

"Report..."

Just when it was about to heat up, a soldier covered in blood galloped on horseback, coming from the direction of the wild.

Out of breath, he turned over and dismounted, and the little soldier broke the shocking news, "My lord, something is wrong. When I was waiting for the 800-strong grain transport team to return, I was ambushed in Yangziling and suffered heavy losses. The brothers died, the wounded..."

There is no more information here, even his war horse has fallen to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and he himself died before he could finish speaking.

Wang Xiu squatted down with a livid face, drew out the dagger and used it for a while on the scar on the soldier's forehead, digging out a steel ball.Did this steel ball stuck in the skull follow him from the battlefield to this place?
"Bai Chenxiang...she finally dispatched troops, she really went to Yangziling to lay an ambush in that kind of blizzard!"

Wang Xiu looked devastated and held the bloody steel ball tightly in her hand.

Even if there is no more news, Wang Xiu also knows that the food transport team is abolished, if not the entire army is almost wiped out.

The terrain of Yangziling is limited to a valley mouth, the depth is too small, there is no room for detour, as long as that crazy woman Bai Chenxiang can really march to Yangziling in the snowstorm.

It is too far to bypass the Yangtze Ridge and go straight through other routes. In the cold winter, almost no one is willing to do this.Therefore, the grain transportation team has always passed the Yangziling.

Judging from Bai Chenxiang's quality and ability in attacking Xishan at that time, of course she could deploy an excellent tactical ambush circle, blocking the mouth from both ends of the Yangtze Ridge, shooting from a high position with "featherless arrows", it was dark and chaotic, it was basically It can be completely wiped out.

And only such a result can tempt Bai Chenxiang to march in the blizzard!
"I never thought that things have turned into this situation. There must be a reason for Zhao Cheng to choose to leave the city on his own initiative tonight. He seems to know that Bai Chenxiang will adopt such a radical tactic?" Li Tianrun finally came to a conclusion: "Your Majesty must make a decision, otherwise My Ganoderma lucidum headquarter is in danger!"

Of course Wang Xiu knew the consequences.

But what needs to be weighed is: Is Zhao Cheng's actions at the South Gate fictional or real?

If Zhao Cheng is true, Chizhou City will of course be empty, and it is entirely possible to win Chizhou City at a small price before Lingzhi Mountain is destroyed. A cottage is worth a city.

But the enemy is too cunning, I'm afraid that Zhao Cheng's previous behavior is just a smog, Chizhou city still has a defensive force, if it can't take down Chizhou before tomorrow morning, it will really be in a dilemma, and it is very likely that it will lose all.

Now assuming that the food transportation team has been wiped out at Yangziling, it means that the guarding force at the headquarters of Lingzhi Mountain has been greatly weakened, with only about a thousand troops.

It seems that the strength of the army is not too small, but it is the team of the third master Chen Li, and the morale and combat power are relatively poor, so Wang Xiu deployed him to stay in the cottage at that time.

With reference to Bai Chenxiang's strong combat power in the Xishan Battle, she can wipe out the grain transport team in Yangziling now. If she quickly goes to Ganoderma lucidum after winning Yangziling, Wang Xiu feels that Chen Li's 1000 people should not be able to support her. noon tomorrow.

Because the cottage is just a cottage, it is impossible to have the defensive power of an orthodox city, and what's more terrible: Bai Chenxiang's team is mainly a long-range strike group, and she also has a magic arm crossbow battalion of the Imperial Army at her disposal!
"Your Majesty, don't you have time to think about it?" Li Tianlun was in a hurry.

"They won... The siege of the city is over now, so we can only find another opportunity to make a comeback."

In the end, Wang Xiu didn't dare to gamble, "It's even more important to keep our headquarters in Ganoderma lucidum now. Send me an order to quickly withdraw the troops and return to defend Lingzhi mountain."

"What about Xue Jingbu?" Li Tianrun was worried about this.

Wang Xiu didn't even hesitate, and said flatly, "I can't take care of it, let alone him if he can give up the temptation of Chizhou?"
