Chapter 2631: Winning in one fell swoop
At this moment, no one can answer Fang La.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their feet.
At this time, Prime Minister Fang Fei suddenly said: "Holy Duke, we still need to quickly return to our hometown. We can still hold on for some time in the mountains of our hometown and wait for the opportunity."
" Yes, for the current plan, we can only go back first, leaving the green mountains behind, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood." His son Fang Hao also followed suit.
Then Fang La sighed and said: "I will be killed in this day!"
"Then go back first."
At this time, there were only a few county towns left in the city on hand. Hangzhou is gone, let alone the county seat?
Historically, he also chose to retreat.
Then they packed their bags secretly, concealed a large number of miscellaneous men, quietly took their confidants, and left the city at night, heading all the way towards the mountains of their hometown.
Walk on the road.
On the swaying carriage, Fang La felt dizzy.
At this time, his son Fang Hao was beside him and suddenly said: "Father, I think it must be the military advisor who is causing trouble!"
"He said before that we can only hold on for a short time. It will fail in a few months.”
“He also said that my father only has a few months of luck.”
Fang La looked at him with uncertain eyes.
"Why is he so sure? He must have tipped off the Song thieves privately, so he is so sure that we will fail sooner or later."
When Fang La heard this, he frowned. His fists were clenched, with a look of reluctance and a bit of hatred.
At this moment, he is just like Yuan Shao.
After failure, instead of thinking about your own problems, you are eager to find an outlet!
"Okay, I get it, it must be his problem!"
"Turn around now!"
The carriage and horses accelerated towards their hometown.
Fang La became angry and led the people to retreat towards the village that Wen Rensheng had passed through before.
At this time, Song Jun had already discovered his movements.
A team was sent behind and they kept chasing.
The other main force, the Song Army, will gain higher morale the more they fight.
The cities left by Fang La were captured one after another.
The few people who were encouraged by Fang La and firmly believed that the Holy Duke had returned and were still holding on were all killed.
In Wen Rensheng's eyes, this was a huge waste.
You must know that in any organization, believers are a minority and the core force.
It is the seed and the cornerstone for the organization to grow and develop.
But those in power tend to look down upon them, and instead put the so-called smart and smooth people in the spotlight.
Just like Hu Hai reused Zhao Gao, Yuan Shao did not reuse Tian Feng.
The people who were inspired by Fang La basically had nowhere to escape.
They were killed one by one by the Song army. Only some who surrendered early could escape with their lives. This also depended on which generals they encountered.
In short, in the current situation, from the perspective of a discerning person, Fang La cannot win at all.
Fang La then took the people and fled all the way to his hometown.
He fled all the way to the familiar mountain.
Then he saw five guards appearing on the roadside.
One of them stepped forward and stopped the carriage.
"Master Military Advisor, you have already expected it, and sent us to pick up the Holy Duke, and also asked the Holy Duke to follow us into the mountain."
Hearing this, Fang La could still endure it. Be prepared to deal with it after seeing that person.
But at this moment, Fang Fei next to him said in a strange way: "Huh, what a military advisor, he is just a Taoist in the mountains!"
"It is obvious that he is sitting in the mountains watching success or failure, with deep thoughts. Unexpectedly, colluding with the Song Army was the reason why our army was so defeated!”
Several guards who responded suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this.
But it’s hard to say anything at the moment.
Only one young man said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The military counselor has no plan left. He has already predicted that the Anglican Church will be defeated in this way, so he asked me to come to pick him up."
"The military advisor is very kind to us people, how could he collude with the hateful Song thieves?"
Fang Fei continued to sneer: "Humph, it's true. He usually wins people's hearts, but now it's clear Just want to seize power.”
"Shenggong, you have to be careful!"
Others also said: "Shenggong, let's go find him quickly, we can't let him continue to lead the troops!"
Fang Laye Without saying much, just let the guards lead the way.
They were a group of defeated soldiers, about seven or eight hundred people.
In fact, if you take too many people, it will be impossible to escape.
Soon they abandoned the carriage and ceremonial guard and walked up the mountain.
Only some people carried food and water on their backs.
Then they followed the mountain trails, winding around, crossing streams, and walking through forests for five days before arriving at the village built by Wen Rensheng.
Looking up, this cottage has been built very solidly in just a few months.
The last path is a line of sky.
There are high cliffs on both sides. If you want to reach the mountain village, you can only pass through the gap in the middle.
The gap is very narrow, and can only allow two people to pass side by side. At the narrowest point, they can only pass sideways.
"How did he find such a dangerous place?"
You must know that Fang La often takes people to the mountains to collect wood, but he has never found this road.
This was naturally found by experienced people after they used their super attributes and became familiar with the terrain.
It can be said that as long as people are sent to guard the exit, given the quality of soldiers and military technology in this era, there is almost no other way except setting fire to the mountain.
Fang La also fled into the mountains in history.
But he was caught quickly.
The premise is that he has not really built a very strong and difficult to attack mountain stronghold in the mountains.
Coupled with the instability of the people inside, someone tipped him off, and he was naturally captured.
However, Wen Rensheng used all kinds of modern knowledge to build a strong enough mountain village, and the key was to have sufficient reserves.
Let alone the Song army, even the Jin people could not defeat them in five or six years, let alone one year.
This is a very common thing.
Even if it is a plain city, as long as the city is not too big, the city walls are relatively small, and there is sufficient water, food, and salt.
There are still enough manpower to replace.
Even if we are besieged for three or five years, it will not be a problem.
The siege capabilities of this era were very poor, after all, artillery had not really matured yet.
Artillery is not yet mature, and the most powerful siege weapon is the return artillery.
But the Song army did not have such siege weapons.
Fang La then led the people through the sky with difficulty, and then saw a strong walled city built of wood and stone.
It stands on a cliff and is built against the mountain, similar to the medieval Ouzhou Castle.
Fang La was shocked after seeing it.
On top of the mountain stronghold, there are arrow towers, sentry towers, protective trenches, protective walls, stones, firewalls... everything.
There are many rolling stones.
Anyone who wants to attack will feel like giving up after just one look.
Wen Rensheng took the seniors and two other newcomers, and a group of guards came out to greet Fang La.
At this moment, Fang La suppressed the shock in his heart, and then asked calmly:
"If it is as the Taoist priest said, I have been waiting for months to raise the army. At first it was prosperous, but now it has been destroyed. Quickly extinguish it."
"Many big cities have been lost one by one. I wonder if the Taoist priest can teach me anything?"
His face was cold, and although there was no intention of scolding in his mouth, everyone was worried. You can tell something is wrong.
At this time, the novice man and woman suddenly became unhappy.
They whispered.
“Humph, it really smells like Yuan Shao.”
“Yes, Yuan Shao failed. Instead of pursuing his own problems, he angered Tian Feng and killed Tian Feng. "
"This is human nature." "Human nature is really despicable, stupid and shameless."
"Bold, you two, what are you talking nonsense about?" Fang Fei said angrily.
"To tell you the truth, we all know it. It was obviously you who had insider knowledge of the Song thieves and leaked the details of our army, which led to our defeat!"
Fang Hao also said : "That's why the Song Army knew our details, so they could avoid the truth, cut off our retreat, and capture our city."
"Otherwise, you monster, why did you judge us in the first place? How many months can it last?”
"Then there's only one reason, and that's you. You will pass the news out to Thief Song in a few months!"
"Yes, it turns out that's the case. I said how did we lose? So fast!" Others also echoed.
They don’t consider the enemy’s strength at all, nor their own weakness, nor their incompetence.
They just want an excuse to vent their emotions.
After all, they were at war with the imperial court and lost every battle.
Conquer a city and then lose a city.
All the way down, win first and then lose.
Seeing that the great foundation was destroyed by Song thieves.
They couldn't hold it in any longer.
The more this person fails, the harder it is to unite.
The more we win, the more we can unite together.
Of course, when victory reaches a peak, it will not be united.
Human nature is like this, there is more disunity than unity.
Because unity costs a lot to maintain, just like relationships, they only last if they run frequently.
If you don’t run, you will become indifferent.
So is unity.
At this moment, Wen Rensheng smiled slightly.
He did not explain, but said to everyone: "This matter is difficult to distinguish at the moment. I think you are tired, so why not talk about it over some wine and meat."
Fang La was still a little hesitant, Fang La Fei Que said: "Okay, you are a demon and you still have some self-awareness. Hurry up and bring the good wine and food."
Hearing what he said, the others also started to make noises and eat before talking.
And at this time.
The newlywed couple had strange expressions upon hearing this.
Wen Rensheng just waved his hand, and soon a large number of people came up and led everyone to the canteen to eat.
Of course the Fang family all gave Xiaozao.
One meal lasted more than two hours.
All food and wine are available.
Just after eating, these people began to feel drowsy.
One by one they were quickly arranged to go to sleep...
In the small kitchen room, Wen Rensheng directly arranged for people to go to bed.
The senior man was the first to jump in. He was wearing heavy armor.
Relying on his powerful physical attributes, he directly knocked down the four personal guards led by Fang La to the ground one by one.
In fact, the guards who were still with him began to hesitate.
So when faced with a sudden attack, he became distracted.
Others still want to resist.
As a result, it was only then that they realized that their bodies were weak and weak.
This is a mixture of Mabo Powder and Liquor that works well and truly.
“Damn it, you devil, you really colluded with the Song thieves!” Fang Fei cursed.
"Why are you doing this, sir? If you want to be rich, you can just take someone's head and ears from Fang!" Fang La sighed, looking like he was surrendering.
Others also cursed one by one.
Wen Rensheng walked into the room at this time.
He laughed and said: "Haha, if I were to defend myself just now."
"That would be a completely unreasonable defense."
"And the more I open my mouth to defend, the more you will not believe it. You will only think that I am begging for mercy."
"Your lives are in my hands now, and everything I say is true."
"I and the weak Song Dynasty are not at odds with each other, and the Song thieves have already. Decay, from the emperor to the civil servants, most of them are colluding and only know how to enjoy themselves. Only a few generals are dedicated to serving the country. "
"As for why you failed so quickly, of course it's because the Song army came this time from the Qin and Jin border troops."
"The Qin and Jin armies were both border troops and often fought with Xixia and Liao."
“They are the most effective part of the Song army, and they will soon go north to attack the Liao Kingdom.”
“Of course you will not be their opponents.”
“But, We couldn't win in the field, so why did we fail to defend the city?" Fang La finally asked what he had always wanted to ask.
Wen Rensheng shook his head and said: "As for holding on to the city, many things are beyond your control."
"After you entered the city, although you did not carry out large-scale burning, killing and looting, you still looted large households. "
"You can't control the soldiers, and the local big families are interested in the Song Dynasty, and they won't listen to you at all."
"If you want to defend the city, you must control the local people. "The big country gentry."
"How can you hold on to the big country gentry if you don't take care of it?"
Fang La suddenly realized.
Indeed, in such a huge city, as long as one big household secretly sends a message to the outside world in the middle of the night and then opens the city gate, they will definitely be defeated.
After thinking of this, Fang La was completely enlightened.
He couldn't help but beat his chest.
This is the truth.
several of the most important cities.
For example, Hangcheng and Qiancheng failed because the city gates were opened in the middle of the night.
The loser was confused and did not seriously engage in a fight with the Song thieves. The soldiers were in a panic and fled in all directions.
Later he also learned the lesson and sent his trusted generals to guard the four gates.
As a result, the four gates were defended but the long city wall could not be defended.
It was midnight or early in the morning again, and the local big family sent people to contact the Song army outside the city.
Then secretly used torches to communicate at night, and threw ladders and ropes from the city walls.
The Song army ascended first and then broke through the city gate.
It can be said that Fang La's team never fought a decent battle from beginning to end.
This is not even as good as the Yellow Turban Uprising.
At any rate, the Yellow Turbans can still hold on to the city and will not be manipulated by inside and outside forces.
Several failures were due to lack of food in the city.
Thinking of this, Fang La had nothing to say.
In the end, we didn’t even win a single battle.
This is really embarrassing.
In fact, if he reads history carefully, he will understand.
Any time the rebels wanted to hold on to the city, they killed all the big families in the city.
Only a large number of rebels are left to enter the city, and they can defend it for as many days as they have food.
However, if the squires are not eliminated and are allowed to stay safely in the city, few of them will be able to hold on for a long time.
Just like Li Zicheng.
He obviously occupies many cities.
As a result, the field battle failed, and none of the remaining cities were able to hold on.
When the final defeat came, it was clear that Tongguan was as dangerous as it was, but it could not be defended.
