Chapter 248: Offensive and defensive drill

After marching this way, less than two days later, I heard the sound of cannons rumbling in front of me. I wanted to come to Jining City.
General Lin was leisurely discussing with the High Chief about Jinling and Hangzhou. Where the sister Yao had a big butt, Hu Bugui hurriedly came in front of him. He reported: "General Jiong, twenty miles ahead, it is Jining City. The army on the left and middle sides has surrounded Jining North Gate and East Gate regiments, and the sailor has blocked the south gate to flee to Weishan Lake. The three-way men and horses have already confronted the Bailian Army guarding the city. As long as our army goes north and traps Ximen, the White Lotus Legion can't move around in the city. "
Jining City is close to Weishan Lake. It is the birthplace of the northern end of Weishan Lake. It is blocked by a sailor. This Bailian Army naturally has no way to escape.
Lin Wanrong sneered: "The naval blockade? Can you believe this? When we were in Peixian, weren't they also blocked? The rabbits of the White Lotus did not come along the lake, and God sneaked into us without knowing it. . "
Du Xiuyuan, who was next to him, said: "The general has no idea. Since the attack on Ripei County, Mr. Xu has thoroughly investigated the Weishan Lake Division and appointed a new captain. This time, it is impossible for the thief to leave Weishan. Escape from the lake. "
It turned out that Lao Xu had done this. Why didn't I know? It seems that the old man did not deliberately take me seriously last time, and Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "So, tell the brothers to slow down and take a break. Camp, ten miles away, let's go slowly. "
Hu Bugui said in shock: "General, how can this be done? At present, the three-way army is attacking the city, and they are all waiting for us to surround us."
"Enclosing? Enclosing a fart." Lin Wanrong laughed. "After the encirclement, he will fight against the city?"
Hu Bugui wondered, "Don't you fight the siege?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Hu, although I have not been to Jining, but Bailian taught Panjin for many years. If this city can be easily captured, is it still necessary to use Xu Dashuai's personally 100,000 troops to conquer?"
Hu Bugui is from Jining, Wen Fang nodded and said, "The general said that the White Lotus taught Pan Jining for many years, and Jining has already been operated as an iron bucket. The city is strong and easy to defend. Moreover, this is Bai Lin's last At the stronghold, all of their elites gathered in the city, and they would never lose the city easily. If they insisted on attacking the city, the resistance they encountered would be extremely tenacious. Our army must suffer heavy losses. "
Du Xiuyuan laughed: "Lao Hu, your analysis makes sense. It seems that I have learned a lot of wisdom recently."
Hu Bugui smugly said, "That's natural. With General Lin, can you not learn to be clever?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and scolded: "You almost don't make a lot of flattery. Slow down the marching speed, let the brothers eat and drink, and take a good rest."
Du Xiuyuan said cautiously, "Three men and women in the front are looking forward to my right to encircle Jining. Why do the generals want their brothers to slow down?"
Hu Bugui also said, "Yeah, has General Lin forgotten, and Marshal Xu said that whoever broke into Jining City first, please make a contribution in front of the emperor."
Please? Lao Tzu really didn't care, but Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan still had to rely on their martial arts to get promoted. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Brother Du, let me ask you a question. If you are the head of the defensive forces of Jining City, Seeing the siege of the army on three sides, but no movement in the west, how would you feel? "
Du Xiuyuan pondered for a while and then said: "Then I must not dare to be taken lightly. No movement does not mean that there is no danger. On the contrary, the less movement I have, the more vigilant I must be. If I am a defender, I must reserve a lean force. Be wary of the west. Oh, I see. The general means that we blocked the west and kept it from attacking, which not only reduced the sacrifice of our army, but also caused the enemy to be restrained everywhere. We dare not throw all our forces into the other three. Aside. "
Lin Wanrong laughed: "You are only half right. We are not fighting. It is a huge pressure for Bai Lianjun. They are psychologically flustered first, and their fighting strength will naturally weaken. Of course, the other three brothers There may be some complaints against us, but half of our 10,000 brothers are not suitable for siege. If the 5,000-step battalion is put into siege, Bai Lian will mobilize all the forces to defend, even if the city is broken, we will certainly The casualties are heavy. This business is not cost-effective. It is better for us to hold Ximen and conduct offensive and defensive drills from time to time, so that these thieves will not dare to act rashly. This can also appropriately reduce the pressure on the other three sides. Our hard work can always be understood by others . "
"Offensive and defensive drill?" Du Xiuyuan said: "What is an offensive and defensive drill."
Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously and did not answer, but Hu Hugui said, "What if the enemy chooses to break through?"
"Break out is good." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Our five thousand cavalry have not come in handy to treat things like Zhi, I wish to do it every day. If they really dare to break out, we will have the cavalry to encircle and the infantry attack City, do n’t delay. Hey, is n’t it our brothers who lead such a city?

Du Xiuyuan then realized the true meaning of it. General Lin really had a long-term vision and it was a coup.
Lin Wanrong led the soldiers on the right and slowly moved forward. Twenty miles away until noon. At this time, the other three men and women were fighting the drums and screaming.
Looking from a distance, the city of Jining was really strong and abnormal. The white lotus soldiers guarding the city were wrapped in white gauze. These Bailian soldiers and horses are well-trained. Although there are only 10,000 people, the high-wall danger of the city has forced the siege officers and soldiers back several times.
Lin Wanrong remembered what Xu Wei had said before the barracks, saying that the Bailian religion only had 5,000 men and horses, and all of them were black people. Now it seems that it is completely untrue. The soldiers and horses of the Bailian religion add up. People, and they are by no means black and white, and do not know where they recruited the soldiers and horses.
When Bai Lian's garrison saw the army coming from the west, he immediately became tense. Thousands of sergeants stood on the city wall and did not dare to slacken.
Lin Wanrong ordered people to move a chair, put a tea cup, sit on the chair leisurely, took a few sips of tea, yawned at Jining Ximen, and suddenly shouted: "Li Sheng, Li Sheng- — "
"The end is here!" Li Sheng answered quickly.
Lin Wanrong said: "Aim your five Divine Artillery cannons at the head of Xicheng and give me a few shots fiercely, tell these cubs, my invincible right army is here."
Divine artillery cannons played a huge role in entering Bailian. The ten artillery guns of the plaintiff Shenjiying were far from enough, and Xu Wei mobilized 20 newly converted cannons from Shandong and other places to transport them to the front line. In the reorganization of Feng County, Lin Wanrong's right army was divided into five gates, and Zong Zongyou's left army was also five gates. Only the middle army led by Cheng Cheng had more cavalry, and Xu Wei assigned them 20 heavy artillery for their siege.
Li Sheng turned his muzzle and directed a blast at the west gate of Jining. With a loud bang, the dust on Xicheng Gate fell and a large piece fell, and a few white cannons of the artillery fell to the city.
Lin Wanrong winked at Hu Bugui, and Hu Bugui turned and dismounted, and said loudly, "Children, rush with me--"
Thousands of fine riders and three thousand infantry behind him issued a shout of astonishment, but rushed behind him.
The white lotus army that defended the city hurriedly shot an arrow rain, and fell to the ground far away, and could not hurt the officers and men for half a minute.
Hu Bugui rushed to half, suddenly the big hand waved, the generals behind him stopped, the formation changed, the cavalry returned to the cavalry, the infantry battalion returned to the battalion, no longer charged forward. Actually, he practiced unbridled in the presence of the garrison.
The white lotus army defending the city did not dare to slacken, and looked nervously at the movement of the officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers before the end of the drill were neatly lined up to return to camp.
The garrison was relieved. Suddenly another blast of artillery sounded, but it was the sacred artillery of the soldiers who roared again and knocked the gate down. When the gun stopped, Du Xiuyuan led another wave of men and horses to rush up, but he also learned the way he did not return, attacked half, and changed to practice again.
Bai Lianjun was at a loss, but he couldn't be lazy, because no one knew, when this exercise became a real siege, the wind was rumbling in the city, and Sergeant Bai Lian was extremely anxious.
Lin Wanrong smiled a little. Some of the shells of Lao Tzu called Li Sheng to blast day and night to make you stop. Tens of thousands of soldiers are divided into three waves, take turns to practice, see if you are afraid or not, defense or not. Damn, don't say I have a lot of people, I just bullied you, why?
Hu returned without turning back and dismissed his horse with a smile: "The general is really clever, and our true and fake halberds do not hurt a soldier, but the Bailian group of rabbits are always nervous, afraid that they are scared by urine. Come out. "
The other three sides were rumbled by gunfire, and the killing sound became more and more fierce, apparently all have entered the tackling stage.
"Oblique the general, the general commander of the middle army sent a message from General Cheng Cheng, asking us to cooperate with them to attack the city!" A commander reported.
"General Hui Hui ~ EbookFREE.me ~ said that our army is conducting siege exercises." Lin Wanrong said.
Seeing that the soldiers were hurried to go, Hu Bugui laughed: "I went to know yesterday that the Zhai Canghai whose leg was broken by us turned out to be the little sister-in-law surname. Zhai Canghai's sister is the most favorite The third room is small. "
Are you really a bitch? I , just guessing, but I didn't expect to guess. This uncle became Zhai Canghai, and it really became famous. Lin Wanrong glanced in the direction of the Middle Army, and saw more than 20 huge artillery fired all the way to Jining City. The bursts of fire dazzled his eyes. The dust rolled up by the explosion covered the city's head in. The firepower of this surname is really powerful. If you bombard me with a few shots, I'll hang up no matter how hard I work.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses practiced this way back and forth several times, and the White Lotus soldiers guarding the city became more and more nervous, and they did not dare to relax.
Listening to the sound of rumbling and killing from the other three sides, Hu Bugui anxiously said, "General, this Jining city is afraid of breaking. If we don't attack the city again, we will be robbed by others-"
When Xu Yin didn't fall, he heard a terrifying shout, and Jining Ximen opened wide, clamoring and killing a man.
