Chapter 110: The target should be changed
The wall of Jinyuan City is neither high nor thick, but it would take more than three seconds to capture it with the more than 10,000 cavalrymen in Liang Xin's hands.
Siege has always been a thankless task. In most cases, there are generally three methods of siege. One is to siege the city, so that the city will automatically surrender due to lack of water and food; the other is to use powerful siege equipment and elite soldiers to charge
; The third is to use the advantage of military strength to fill the gap with lives.
During the siege, Liang Xin didn't have the time; he didn't have the equipment; he didn't have the troops. Every Xichang cavalry was his treasure, and he couldn't bear to exchange their lives for a useless Jinyuan City.
Looking at the Jinyuan City so close at hand, Lin Chong and others were a little anxious. There was no need to think about tricking the city gates into opening. What we needed to consider now was whether the Jin soldiers had started to return reinforcements and whether the Liao army could hold back the Jin soldiers.
A flying eagle flew over. Lin Chong, who had been following Bai Lao for a long time, whistled. The flying eagle swooped down and landed on Lin Chong's arm. Lin Chong took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube at the heel of the flying eagle, unfolded it, and after reading it, Lin Chong's face changed slightly.
, he quickly handed the note to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin took the note and read it, his expression neither angry nor happy. Lin Chong said angrily: "The Liao soldiers are too abominable, we came all the way to support them, but they even sold us out.
Fortunately, our West Factory has placed someone in the Liao army, otherwise we would definitely be made dumplings by the Jin soldiers."
Liang Xin turned to look at Lin Chong and smiled: "Don't be angry, this is politics. There is no emotion at all. But don't worry, one day they will pay the price for their actions today."
Lin Chong didn't seem to understand, so he asked: "Sir, what should we do now? Retreat immediately along the original route?"
Liang Xin shook his head: "Take out the map and show it to me."
Lin Chong took out a map from the bamboo tube hanging on his waist. The map was recorded and modified by Xichang spies many times. All topography and landforms were painted in great detail.
Liang Xin clicked on the map and said, "Let's go here."
"Stab the muddy water alive?" Lin Chong was shocked. He looked up at Liang Xin and found that Liang Xin's expression did not look like he was joking. Since it was not a joke, then this was an extremely crazy idea.
Huosi Muddy Waters is the direct clan of the Jurchen Wanyan clan. Even though Wanyan Aguda has designated Ning Mansion as the capital of the Jin Kingdom, most of the Wanyan clan still live in Huosi Mugshui. If there
If you suffer any loss, it may really hurt Wanyan Agu.
However, the benefits are often directly proportional to the risks. Going to the Muddy Waters with Live Thorns is equivalent to going deep into the belly of the Kingdom of Jin. Whether it can come out is still unknown.
However, Lin Chong did not persuade Liang Xin to give up this idea. After following Liang Xin for so long, he had become accustomed to blindly following all Liang Xin's instructions. Because it was later proven that everything Liang Xin said was correct.
Live Thorn Muddy Waters was originally the place where the Shilie tribe lived. Later, Wugu Nai, the leader of the Wanyan tribe, led the Wanyan tribe to defeat the Shilie tribe, and then the Wanyan tribe lived here.
After Wugunai passed away, he passed the position of patriarch to his son Gai Libo, and then Gai Libo passed the position of patriarch to his second son Wanyan Aguda. Since then, Wanyan Aguda began his vigorous and heroic career.
Although Wugunai has passed away, his younger brother Tuyeshu is still alive. Tuyeshu has a high prestige among the Wanyan tribe. Even the mother of Wanyan Aguda, the Queen Mother of the Jin Kingdom must do it during the new year and festivals.
Go visit Tuye Shu.
On the night when the Queen Mother of Jin came to Huosi Muddy Waters accompanied by Queen Tang Kuo, Seventh Princess Tuoyunna and Fourth Prince Wushu, the Xichang cavalry led by Liang Xin also quietly approached Huosi.
Muddy water.
In the clan ancestral hall of the Wanyan tribe, Tuye Shu sat on the main seat without giving in. Then the Queen Mother and Tuye Shu sat side by side, and below them were the queen, the seventh princess, the fourth prince and many other members of the Wanyan tribe.
He is a man of high moral character and high prestige, who accompanied Ugunai on his expeditions to the north and south.
The Queen Mother came in person, and these older generation people still felt quite honored on their faces. Everyone quickly talked about the time when they accompanied Ugunai in the wars in the north and south.
Just when they were excited, they stabbed Liang Xin and the others outside Muddy Waters and lined up in formation. Looking at the houses in front of them without any city walls blocking them, Liang Xin nodded and said, "This is nonsense. One can rely on riding a horse."
The ethnography of shepherding, hunting and gathering ginseng is why we Han people built city walls.”
Liang Xin was a person who liked to make decisions before taking action. He glanced at Yin Jianglin subconsciously. Seeing that he was wrapped like a rice dumpling, Liang Xin had to turn to Liang Rui beside him and said, "Liang Rui, you
Go and grab a tongue and come back."
"Yes!" Liang Rui rushed out with his horse's belly, and then disappeared into the darkness. Not long after, Liang Rui came back with two men on his horse.
The two men had been knocked unconscious, and Lin Chong poured water on them to wake them up. After seeing Liang Xin and the more than 10,000 cavalry behind Liang Xin, the two men screamed and almost subconsciously started shouting: "There are enemies! There are enemies!"
Since they spoke Jurchen language, only Yin Jianglinhui was among Liang Xin's group, so Yin Jianglin drove his horse over and whipped each of them a few times before shouting in a deep voice: "Don't scream. If you scream again, I will kill you."
As expected, the two men did not dare to shout anymore, and Liang Xin said, "Jiang Lin, ask them how many soldiers and horses there are in the tribe ahead, and whether there are any important people or valuable items inside."
Liang Xin had just finished speaking, and before Yin Jianglin had time to translate, one of them shouted loudly: "Don't ask me, the children of Baishan and Heishui will not give in."
"Oh? So educated? You can actually speak Chinese?" Liang Xin asked the other person who didn't speak: "Can you speak Chinese?"
The man didn't answer Liang Xin, but just hummed. But it was obvious that he knew Chinese. Liang Xin nodded and said, "Okay. Since both of you can speak Chinese, I only need to keep one of you."
Which of you is going to answer my question? If no one answers after I count three times, then I will kill both of you and then capture two more and ask them."
"one two three……"
Sure enough, neither of the two men expressed willingness to answer Liang Xin's question. Liang Xin nodded with satisfaction: "Yes. Yes, they are indeed the children of Baishan and Heishui."
He raised his chin, pointed at the man on the left and said, "Kill this one for me first."
A Xichang cavalryman beside him drove his horse out and cut his throat without saying a word. Blood spurted out and splashed all over the man next to him. The man shivered all over, and Liang Xin smiled softly: "First cut this guy's hand and leg tendons.
Pick it, then cut off his tongue and let him feed the wolves here."
"No, no, no... I said, I will tell you everything. Just ask me." The man said in a panic.
Liang Xin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In our Song Dynasty, you call those who know current affairs a hero. Okay, I still have the same two questions. How many soldiers and horses are there in the tribe in front, and are there any important people or valuables?
?”
"There are three thousand guards. There are no important people or valuables." The man replied.
Liang Xin suddenly laughed and scolded: "You idiot, you can't even lie. It's useless for such a brainless person to live in this world. Come on! Kill him."
"No, no, no, no... there are five thousand guards ahead. The Queen Mother, Queen, Seventh Princess, and Fourth Prince are all here. They are all in the clan ancestral hall."
"Queen Mother? Queen? Seventh Princess? Fourth Prince?" Liang Xin stared for a long time without regaining consciousness. He couldn't believe that his luck was so good.
Could this be the legendary explosion of character? Liang Xin shouted excitedly: "The Queen Mother, the Empress, the Seventh Princess, and the poor monk are here. Don't resist, just obey me."
Liang Xin clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse rushed forward first.
Lin Chong and others were afraid that Liang Xin would be in danger, so they did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately accelerated to catch up. The sound of the hooves of more than ten thousand cavalry was clearly audible like thunder, and the closer they got to the muddy water, it seemed that the entire ground was shaking.
