By the time of Xu Ping, China had fought for thousands of years and had accumulated countless experience in defending the city and siegeing the city, especially the siege party. There were all kinds of methods and methods, but they could not do it, but they were not unexpected. ※% was no longer suitable to defend the city like a thousand years ago. The first element of defending the city was no longer solid, but to facilitate the army in the city to go out of the city to harass the city. If it cannot attack, it cannot defend, and it is already an iron rule.

Jiadong stationed elite soldiers in the city, which was like tied up his hands that he could fight. How could he fight in this battle be? What's more, the small city in front of him was far from being called a strong city, let alone Xu Ping had gunpowder in his hand.

Zhang Rong looked at Xu Ping's face and asked in a low voice: "What the official means is-"

"Encircle three quarries and one, and leave the way to retreat to Shenglong Mansion in the city! At the beginning of tomorrow morning, attack from three sides!"

Zhang Rong hesitated: "But the city is full of local soldiers, and my family is here, so I may not escape."

"If you don't escape, you won't be afraid of fighting streets. However, when the city is broken, I don't know how many people there are who can have the courage to fight. As long as someone takes the lead in running, most people will follow you. Even if you really want to fight to the end, you will be covered with a siege and run away. Once there are too many people, you will have no choice but to have anyone!"

"What the officials said makes sense, but we let them escape like this?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "How can we let them go? It's our trouble when we look back. I'll send orders to Han Daocheng, and there are 1,000 cavalrymen at the left and right corner of the valley. It's easier to chase and kill than to fight in the city."

Although Sugar Service is rich, due to the actual conditions, Xu Ping could not equip a large number of heavy cavalry. He had a lot of plans and had chosen thousands of horses from the Dali horse he bought. There were only six or seven hundred horses that could carry heavy armored knights. Considering the backup of the horses, he formed a commander heavy armored cavalry and kept following Xu Ping's central army like a treasure. The commander who commanded heavy armored cavalry was originally a tall card, but when he went out to lead the army, he still brought other light cavalry, let alone fighting in peacetime.

Xu Ping has always been generous in his work, but he is a stingy person in the cavalry. He has limited cards in his hand. He can't be generous even if he wants to be generous.

The soldiers in the Shehuangwu Township always move one or two thousand cavalry look very majestic, but in fact they do mostly chasing and escaping. They can't do anything to the infantry with strict teams. However, if the Jiadong army in the city escapes in the direction of Jiaozhi, it is the most suitable for them to chase and kill.

After seeing the situation, Xu Ping asked Zhang Rong again: "Have the siege equipment been shipped?"

"It's said it's coming tonight."

"Well, you must transport it to the evening. Be prepared at night. When the first ray of sunshine appears tomorrow, you will lead your troops to attack the city! I want to see how strong the elite soldiers in the Jiadong are!"

The reason why Liangzhou is crucial to Jiaozhi is that there is a narrow valley from here to the south. Once it leaves the narrow valley, it will be flat. There will be no obstacles when it reaches Shenglong Mansion except for a Fuliang River.

Of course, Liangzhou does not have the status that it was later. Jiaozhi's real defense line is in Fuliang River. The north of Fuliang River is still a hilly area. The population is not large, and passing Fuliang River is the essence of Jiaozhi. But for the Song Dynasty, mastering this gate blocked the road to Jiaozhi north, and there was no war on the border.

The mountains at the junction of the two countries have one characteristic: the Song Dynasty side is often steep and the Jiaozhi side is particularly gentle, so for the north, the valley mouth is still important.

Not far from the big tree on the top of the mountain, it is the Bianye Courtyard of the Jia family. Although it is not big, it is very exquisitely built. Jiaozhi has been part of the Central Plains dynasty for a thousand years. It has been transformed for a long time, and most of the upper class people are infected with the Han style. It is very different from the ordinary local barbarians.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Ping went straight to the living room.

His central army personnel were making arrangements in a nervous manner. When they saw Xu Ping coming in, they hurriedly saluted.

Xu Ping looked at it, pointed to the table and said, "Create the terrain sand table near the city as soon as possible. It is best to do it tomorrow and don't delay it. Don't do it too fine at the beginning. Just have a rough one and make up for it later."

The officials agreed.

These things are all practiced by me. Xu Ping looked at them and had nothing to say, so he let everyone continue to be busy and rest in the room behind him.

The cavalry led by Han Daocheng did not participate in the siege, but passed around the city and rushed straight to the valley four or five miles south of the city. Xu Ping made it clear that the city could not be defeated once it entered, but the valley entrance had to be occupied first. This is the only road from Jiaozhi reinforcements. As long as it is sealed, Liangzhou will be a dead city.

Since the last time Sang Yi led his troops into Liangzhou, Jiadong has been strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. There is no farm work this season. No matter how men, women, young and old, they were driven to the city of the state, and there was no one outside the city.

This is also the place that made Xu Ping shake his head. From 20 or 30 miles from Menzhou to Liangzhou, Jiadong knew that the sugar sugar service was abundant and there was no shortage of materials at all. What's the use of this solid wall and clearing the wilderness? If you were really energetic, Jiadong should have entered Beiliangzhou in advance and built the Gumashan military camp. That would be much better than the current situation. Now there is only an isolated city left here for Xu Ping to fight, and Xu Ping felt that it was not very meaningful.

Only by attacking can one defend. Once you lose confidence, you will hand over your destiny to others.

When the Song Dynasty gave in, both Jiaozhi and Jiadong were extremely arrogant, pressing step by step, and looking greedy. Once facing the counterattack of the army, they immediately panic and lost their composure. These small forces really lacked a demeanor, and no wonder they could only make small fuss and could not become a big climate.

He brought Zhongrui Army to Gukou Military Village, and Han Daocheng shouted loudly: "I am the commander of Zhongrui Army under the Taiping Army of the Song Dynasty, and I will come out to speak!"

The people in this village only know that the Song army has been making a big fuss in Liangzhou recently, but they can't figure out what the situation is in the basin. Even if they saw a few people hurried to Shenglong Mansion in the morning, they didn't take it seriously.

The local soldiers in Jiadong on the village building heard Han Daocheng speak majestic and laughed: "You are the commander of the Song Dynasty, but you came to our Jiaozhi Military Village to show off your mightyness! Then they shouted outside, I took the life of your scoop of birds with one arrow! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

When Han Daocheng heard the answer, he ignored them, and turned his horse back to the military formation and said in a deep voice: "Siege the city!"

Because this military camp is behind Jiadong, it is not built for war. Its main function is to check merchants and collect taxes. The village is mainly made of wood, which is far inferior to the Gumashan military camp that was blown up by Sang Yi. Han Daofeng didn't see it, so he was still talking nonsense!

Hearing the commander's order, the cavalry in front separated, and the soldiers behind rushed ten horses with small cannons.

After opening the horse far away, the sergeant pointed the black hole at the village building, loaded gunpowder from the muzzle and stabbed it tightly, took out a special lead ball and stuffed it into the muzzle. After loading the medicine twist, he held the torch and quietly looked at the main general.
