Renli, however, did not offer any words of advice.
He now commands 12,000 troops in Huaizhou and Shunzhou.
The garrison commander of Lingzhou had 20,000 men under his command.
He was also happy to weaken the Lingzhou army.
If we can use the Liang army to eliminate the garrison commander of Lingzhou,
That would suit him even better.
Chapter 1906 Long-Premeditated
The garrison commander of Jingzhou threw out a hot potato.
They also became more active in speaking up.
"The Liang army has taken up positions within the city,"
"There's probably a large army supporting them from behind,"
"We need to attack the city as soon as possible."
Renli said, "The troops from Lingzhou and Dingzhou traveled over a hundred li yesterday."
"Let them rest for a day before attacking the city."
Upon hearing this, the garrison commander of Lingzhou immediately replied,
"They traveled over a hundred li in two days,"
"There is no need for rest; our army is ready to fight today."
Dingzhou is actually closer than Lingzhou.
Hearing this, he echoed,
"Our army can also go into battle."
Renli smiled upon hearing this.
"Since troops from all directions can be deployed to battle,"
"Then let us attack the city today."
"The camp has manufactured quite a few siege weapons in the past two days,"
"It's enough."
The Lingzhou garrison commander stood up and said, "Since we already have siege equipment,"
"Then what's there to discuss?"
"Everyone, go and muster the troops,"
"Let's go attack the city."
Renli observed that the garrison commander of Lingzhou had acted on his own initiative.
He couldn't help but feel a little angry.
His face remained unchanged, and he stood up and said,
"Alright, leave two thousand men from Shunzhou to guard the camp."
"All other troops will go to attack the city."
The group left the large tent.
Just as they were about to split up to muster the troops
Then a cavalryman came galloping from the direction of the camp gate.
Upon reaching the garrison commander of Lingzhou, he abruptly reined in his horse.
He leaped off his horse.
He knelt on the ground and said,
"The general went out of the camp to pursue the three men, but was shot and killed."
Upon hearing this, the garrison commander of Lingzhou
Her face flushed involuntarily.
Turning to his adjutant beside him,
"You will lead a thousand men as the vanguard,"
"We must shoot three people."
"Yes!"
The lieutenant received the order.
A thousand people were selected to leave the camp.
Afterwards, the troops from each state were mustered.
They then marched in a grand procession towards Xingqing Prefecture.
The garrison commander of Lingzhou traveled all the way here.
They would often see one of their own soldiers die on the road.
Until two miles outside Xingqing Prefecture,
Only then did they see the deputy general leading his troops in pursuit of the three.
They immediately surrounded the three of them.
But the three of them rushed out again.
Han Shizhong and his two companions saw that the main army behind them was approaching.
Only then did they shake off the surrounding troops.
They ran into the city.
The deputy general of Lingzhou noticed that there weren't many people on the city wall.
The suspension bridge couldn't be raised immediately.
Thinking it was an opportunity,
He immediately led his troops in hot pursuit.
The soldiers guarding the city gate saw that more people were coming to their deaths.
Immediately, a barrage of arrows, fire, and thunderbolts followed.
After a series of explosions,
The remains of the deputy general of Lingzhou were never found.
The remaining troops also fled back.
The garrison commander of Lingzhou is in the distance.
I also heard an explosion.
See how the soldiers, along with their horses, were blown to pieces.
Fear cannot be ignored.
The army formed ranks outside the inner city.
The garrison commander of Lingzhou said, "The firearms of the Liang Kingdom are so powerful."
"Even if the moat is filled in,"
"I doubt we can even get close to siege equipment."
Renli smiled and said, "Although Liang's firearms are powerful,"
"But the quantity will certainly not be large,"
"As long as they run out of firearms,"
"Then we will be able to retake Xingqing Prefecture."
"The crossbow bolts they used were also specially made,"
"Supplies cannot be obtained in the city,"
"After they've used up all their arrows,"
"It would be very difficult to seal the city gate with ordinary bows and arrows."
The garrison commander of Lingzhou said, "If that's the case,"
"We might as well attack the city gates directly,"
"Deplete their firearms,"
"To avoid damaging the siege equipment."
The garrison commander of Jingzhou nodded: "What the general says is very true."
"Then my unit will fill in the moat,"
"The troops of Lingzhou seized the city gate."
Upon hearing this, the garrison commander of Lingzhou
He couldn't help but frown.
The filling of the moat was protected by moat-filling vehicles.
It is much safer.
But a direct assault on the city gates would cost lives.
Renli, without waiting for the garrison commander of Lingzhou to speak, said...
"Then I'll have to trouble you two generals,"
"Once the king is rescued, I will recommend the two generals for credit."
Although the garrison commander of Lingzhou was unwilling,
However, they dared not openly oppose it.
In order to prevent anyone from accusing him of hoarding military strength and harboring ill intentions.
The garrison commander of Jingzhou said with a hint of schadenfreude,
“Warhorses are easily startled,”
"You should use infantry to capture the city."
The Lingzhou garrison commander said irritably,
"Everyone can see it,"
"Your unit should also be careful when filling in the moat,"
"Don't get blown up along with your car."
.....
“Woo woo woo!”
The resounding bugle call echoed across the battlefield.
A fighting spirit soared to the heavens.
A troop of soldiers headed towards the point where the moat and the Tanglai Canal met.
A troop of soldiers headed straight for the city gate.
Zhao Yuan has also arrived at the south gate of the city wall.
Looking at the densely packed foot soldiers surging towards the city,
"It seems the Western Xia are really going to attack the city this time."
