Zhang Haoran sang the empty city plan, while Li Xiu detoured to Binzhou to make a surprise attack to take Binzhou. At this time, reinforcements from Jeju also arrived near Texas and Binzhou.
Song Wensong is not an ordinary person. As a veteran of many years, he has rich combat experience. He judged that Liaodong's army was feigning, but he did not dare to despise it.
He sent Ma Shun and Hua Yun two troops from Jeju to support, one to support Dezhou, and the other to support Binzhou, so that absolute safety in northern Shandong can be guaranteed.
However, Ma Shun and Hua Yun were not in a hurry at this time. The two slowly headed north until they reached the edge of Texas. When they were divided, Hua Yun said: "General Ma, if you are older, go to Texas. I'll go. Binzhou is still a bit far away, and I am afraid it will take six or seven days to arrive at such a slow past!
In fact, neither Dezhou nor Binzhou has fought anymore. Yesterday we received a report saying that the Liaodong Army was camping 100 miles north of Dezhou, and there was no movement every day! Obviously, this time the Liaodong Army was really a vain shot, hoping to get the prince back to Shandong. It really laughed out of his teeth. Does Lu Zheng think our prince is still a three-year-old child? "
Hua Yun’s words were very relaxed. Ma Shun was older and more stable and mature, and said: "General Hua, you still can't be too late on the road. After all, Lu Zheng is very treacherous! Now it is important for the prince to attack the south. At this juncture, what we have to do is to be foolproof. In any case, we must not let the prince be distracted to the north. If not, if Huaiyang Dao fails again, it will be a great disadvantage to Shandong!"
Hua Yun nodded and said: "General Ma is right, if this is the case, then we will immediately divide our troops and go to our own places! No need to say anything, the hurry is important, and we strive to reach the destination as soon as possible!"
The two parted ways, and they seemed to say that they wanted to hurry up, but in fact, how could the marching force be so urgent? We must know that Song Wensong has always attached great importance to the defense line in the north. There are quite a few soldiers in the northern cities. Under normal circumstances, unless Lu Zheng attacks Shandong, otherwise the frontier defense line in the northeast of the mountain is relatively stable.
This time Li Xiu led the troops into Shandong, and the meaning of posing was already obvious. How could there be any change in this situation?
"Let’s camp! Remember to pay close attention to the movement in Binzhou direction. In addition, we must arrange vigilance, not because of lax vigilance and cause catastrophe!" Hua Yun ordered the army to camp, and the sky was still extremely bright at this time, and it was still dark. Very far away!
As night fell, Hua Yun was sitting outside the tent. At this time, the guards were roasting the lamb. The lamb was roasted on the fire, and the fat was burned to give off a charming aroma. The spices from the south were used on the lamb, and more It adds a lot of flavor to the lamb.
Hua Yun cut a piece of meat with a knife, and it tasted really beautiful. He took another sip of Shandong shochu. The hot feeling shocked his whole body. He laughed:
"My generation of warriors eats meat and drinks heavily, not seeking fame and fortune, but only seeking to fight on the battlefield, even if it is a shroud in horse leather, I still don't regret it!"
"Okay, the general is a model of my generation!" The generals shouted, really flattering!
Hua Yun drank a little more wine and ate a little meat, and felt more relaxed. The night was enchanting and the sky was refreshing. It was very close to Binzhou from here!
Speaking of Hua Yun, Song Wensong's most respected young general. Although he was young, he had suffered a lot when he followed Song Wensong to fight in the north and south.
In his military career, he can think of sending troops this time without any pressure, and it is unique in comfort. He used to follow Song Wensong to fight for hundreds of battles, and every time he tied his head to the belt of the trousers, how could he eat like this today? Roasting lamb, drinking strong wine, and chatting with the guards under your hand?
After drinking half-heartedly, everyone was in high spirits. At this moment, a fire appeared in the east direction, and the sky in the distance was ignited. The soldiers under their hands were surprised when they saw this scene, and couldn't help saying:
"Wow, is there a wildfire over there? It looks like there is a burning cloud!"
Hua Yun frowned slightly and said, "Mountain fire? What direction is there? Are there trees?"
"General, there is the direction of Binzhou, there is a big river in the direction of Binzhou, and there are no dense woods!"
Hua Yun's expression changed, and he said, "No, Binzhou will not start a fire for no reason. There must be something! Where is the scout? Go out to find out the news. In addition, send orders to the camps, immediately pack things up, open overnight, and go quickly. Binzhou moves closer!"
Hua Yun is a veteran on the battlefield. When he heard that the direction of the fire was Binzhou, he instinctively sensed the danger. At this time, he couldn’t care about other things. He could only let the army go out overnight. The reloading of the camp should be discarded. All the military only needs. Just put on your weapons, and march with light at night, with the goal of reaching Binzhou as quickly as possible.
At this time, Binzhou was already killing the sky. Li Xiu made a detour from Texas. When the sky was just outside the city of Binzhou, he let the army hide, and immediately scattered out to scout into Binzhou City to inquire about the news.
After arriving in Binzhou City, the scouts found that the city had no defenses at all, but the army had been prepared. There were soldiers patrolling the city walls during the day, and the defenses were relatively tight.
Under this situation, the scouts contacted the secret spy stationed in the city with the Suspension Mirror Division. According to the secret spy's report, one of their guards outside the east gate can respond internally. If Li Xiu wants to attack the city, The two parties can agree on a time, and when the time comes, Neiying will open the east gate, and Li Xiu can rush into the east gate, so that Binzhou can be broken quickly.
When Li Xiuyi heard this report, he was overjoyed. Even if he agreed to do it in the evening, he would be able to overcome the preparatory work and gain a big advantage! Li Xiu led under the east gate during the third watch, and he saw that the east gate city was opened. He ordered the death squad to ride directly into the city, set all the shops and pavilions around the east gate on fire, and then marched on. Then killed.
Imagine that the defenders of Binzhou never dreamed that they had been missed by Li Xiu, and Li Xiu’s tactics of attacking the city were so sharp, there were internal responses in his army, together with the fire, the heavenly soldiers killed them, and the soldiers who defended the city immediately started. It's messed up. They still had a little resistance at first. After all, there were still so many pawns defending the city. Most of these pawns were loyal to Song Wensong. Knowing that the enemy was coming, they did not quickly retreat, but instead fought to the death.
However, their courage quickly collapsed under the repeated charges of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. In fact, any army faced with the charge of the cavalry could hardly maintain morale. In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry almost existed like the sky.
Once the Liaodong cavalry were no longer blocked by the city defenses, they would pass like life-harvesting machines. Under such circumstances, how could the Shandong army be able to stop them?
In this way, Li Xiu killed more than two hours and basically controlled Binzhoucheng completely. Only about a thousand defenders fled through the north gate. By dawn, Binzhou had changed hands.
When Hua Yun’s reinforcements rushed to the outside of the city, they happened to encounter more than a thousand Shandong troops who had been defeated from the city. Hua Yun went up to ask about the situation and learned that Binzhou was attacked by the Liaodong Army. He almost rolled out his eyes and shouted. :
"It's really a wine bag and rice bag. My Binzhou city defense is so strong, how could it be easily broken by the Liaodong Army?"
Hua Yun trembled with anger. His first reaction was to immediately lead the soldiers under him to retake the city. However, he soon realized that once the Liaodong cavalry occupied the city, they would have no worries about backup. Their combat power will be greatly strengthened. Now it is not the problem of his Hua Yun attacking Binzhou, but if Li Xiu learns of Hua Yun's existence, he will never let Hua Yun get out easily.
Thinking of this, Hua Yun immediately did two things. One thing was to write a letter to Song Wensong to report the military situation urgently, and the other was to inform Ma Shun of Texas about the military situation, so that Ma Shun quickly sent troops to the north, copied from the back, and prepared to close. People on both sides surrounded Binzhou City to see if they could catch Li Xiu as a turtle in the urn.
And he didn't rush in, ordered the army to camp, then build a defensive ambush, quietly waiting for Li Xiu to come to attack!
Besides, after Li Xiu took possession of the city, he was in a very good mood, and immediately reported to Lianghe Lu Zheng to occupy it, and at the same time, he sent the scout out to inquire about the military situation. The scout reported that Hua Yun's army had arrived thirty miles outside the city.
Li Xiu cried out a fluke. If he was a little slower, Binzhou might not be able to take it down. Once the battle became an anxious battle, the Liaodong Army would definitely not be able to take advantage, so this time the plan to send troops to Shandong would be a complete failure. Up.
Now, Hua Yun was left out of the city in the cold. Li Xiu occupies the city just in time to replenish and rehabilitate. He rested for two days and then suddenly attacked Hua Yun. He must break through his defenses.
Li Xiu immediately ordered the soldiers to rest. Two days later, the cavalry became alive and well. Li Xiu didn't greedy the gains and losses of the city at all, but instead used all the cavalry in the city to raid Huayun's military account.
Hua Yun set up an ambush with ease, and brought Song Wensong's Mo Dao soldiers who specialize in dealing with the cavalry, but Li Xiu was still brave when the two sides fought against each other. Although Hua Yun tried his best, he still couldn't support it. The battle was fought very tragically. The Hua Yun army killed and injured nearly 5,000 people. Taking advantage of the darkness, he retreated a hundred miles away. At this time, Hua Yun no longer dared to camp. , Can only escape to the direction of Jeju.
After Li Xiu repelled Hua Yun, the scout came to report that Zhang Sima was in danger and was now fleeing north, and the Shandong army was chasing him behind him!
Li Xiuyi thought that his purpose of attacking Binzhou was not to occupy the city, but to deter the enemy. Binzhou has already been occupied, and the enemy camp must be panicked at this time. Just in time, Li Xiu can repeat the same tricks and come back with a carbine to attack Texas. If Texas can be taken down, I am afraid that the Shandong army will be scared... …
