All the generals felt that Yan Hong’s neighbor was the first great general who put business first and admired him very much.
So the reinforcements were stationed in Mozhou to save their strength and wait for the opportunity to hide the news.
Yan hong’s neighbor is certainly not stupid, waiting for him. He also sent people along the west of Hutuo River to explore the news of Zhending House. He wanted to see the situation of Zhending House over there. For example, he also sent people to scatter and collect the whole situation in Hebei.
He wants to know the specific situation of Hebei before the official war, which is more convenient for him to judge his actions
When Yan Hong’s neighbors sent people to collect news about the war, Su Yonglin was fighting a river crossing.
From the fourth day of November to the seventh day of November, he sent people to pretend to attack the north bank of the river, in fact, waiting for news from Su Yong.
Su Yong didn’t live up to his expectations. In the early morning of November, Su Yong cavalry appeared unnoticed, and the North Shore launched a sudden impact on the North Shore defenders, crushing the North Shore defenders and destroying the North Shore defense equipment.
Zhending City was slow to respond, and it was already bright when Wugu Lun Wolun knew the news.
Su Yonglin led the victory army and the local armed Coalition forces to cross the river on a large scale and seize the north shore position, attacking all the way to Zhending City.
Chapter 27 Take back the initiative
True garrison set up north shore troops less than two thousand people were almost annihilated by Su Yong with cavalry.
Except for a few people who fell into the river and drowned, they did not escape, either dead or captured.
In order to deter the defenders of the city, Su Yonglin also ordered the defenders of the city to behead the captured more than 700 gold soldiers in front of them and threatened them to surrender quickly, otherwise the city would be ruined.
Ugo’s theory of Wolun certainly won’t surrender to the city. He ordered the defenders to shoot arrows and made the bed crossbow counterattack to push back the allied deterrent forces.
So Su Yonglin led his troops back to camp and surrounded the city without leaving them a retreat.
It’s no good storming. Su Yonglin looked at the tall and majestic walls and quite spacious moats, and felt that if she forcibly attacked, she would have to pay for the elite main force of Victory Army.
But if you don’t attack, you can’t keep it like this. ideal city is nailed here. He’s not going anywhere.
Even if you can go, you will be very uneasy to stay in the besieged city. If there are fewer troops, you will be afraid that you will not be able to encircle them. If there are more troops to attack local forces, you may fall into another dilemma.
Moreover, if you continue to go north through the posterior route and route for providing foodstuff, you may be killed by the city, and the defenders will be cut off, not to mention the risk of collapse.
Su Yonglin looked at the tall and true wall and was very upset.
On the other hand, Ugo’s theory of Wolun thinks that there is nothing wrong with this. If the army in this city is still so strong, Su Yonglin can’t go anywhere.
If he is in danger here, the whole Hebei West Road will be settled and just wait for reinforcements.
It is amazing that at this time, the battlefield Ugo’s theory of Wolun has mastered the initiative
"I’ll wait one more day for the rebels to fall, and I’ll stay here for the main force of the rebels and I won’t go anywhere. When I get settled, I’ll send troops to help me and I’ll be saved!"
He constantly encouraged morale and gave a lot of money to the soldiers guarding the city to reassure them, so the panic caused by the allied forces’ invasion of the coastal defense gradually subsided and everyone was ready to defend the city.
Su Yonglin didn’t immediately attack the city. Instead, he told the army to take a short break and then build a temporary bridge on the Hutuo River to facilitate the transportation of materials.
Then he looked around the real city, left and right, and couldn’t find a way to break through the city. He was distressed that Xin Qiji came to visit him.
"Why do you want to come to me?"
Su Yonglin and Xin Qiji strolled in the camp and asked with a smile, "Have I finished reading the manuscript for you?"
"I haven’t finished reading it yet, because many very novel genera have been deeply attracted. Please ask the generals to give more to them and let them read and think carefully."
Of course, but you can watch it as long as you want.
Su Yonglin patted him on the shoulder. "Seeing more may give you a different perspective."
"It’s a matter of doubt and sentiment. After reading it, find the general and seriously discuss it. Please give him your advice."
"certain"
Su Yonglin nodded with a smile
"Thank you, General."
Xin Qiji saluted respectfully and then straightened up and said, "The general’s eyes are true. It is correct to deny that storming the real city is the right thing to do."
Su Yonglin Lianqu smiled and nodded his head.
"I don’t think this is the right thing to do. It’s true that the city wall is tall, the moat is wide and deep, and the loss of the storm will dampen the spirit of our army."
"So I think our army needs to find another way, and if the main force of our army is delayed, it will greatly affect the attack on the state capital of Hebei West Road, which will make the gold thief sometimes organize more troops to launch a counterattack, which is an unsustainable siege."
Xin Qiji said, "If we can leave an army to besiege the city, we should quickly March northward and call on more people to resist and pull up the situation. We can’t delay the March and let the northern gold thieves sometimes organize troops."
Su Yonglin looked at Zhending City.
"It is reported that there are more troops in the real city and many jurchen mouths can be turned into regular soldiers at any time. If we stay in Serenade and can’t encircle the city, it will be difficult to keep more troops and make progress. Now we are in a dilemma."
Xin Qiji thought about it and felt that it was indeed a problem.
The way to solve this problem is naturally to continue to ask for more troops from the rear, which is of course feasible, but the pressure on grain production will be even greater
During the war, the logistics supply of the allied forces was on the one hand to win the victory army camp, on the other hand to capture the grain depots in various places, and on the other hand, to support the local strongmen and armed forces to maintain the logistics of the allied forces.
It takes a lot of preparation to increase the strength in all aspects.
And this situation is obviously the most important.
Su Yonglin felt that he had lost the initiative in this battle with his hands down and his head down, which meant that he was led by the city defenders.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Losing the initiative in the battlefield is a very serious matter and must not be taken lightly.
