Chapter 536 Baling (3000 plus)
Fang Ming ordered that the entire Song family and even Lingnan would start moving from slow to fast like a huge war machine.
Once the road to hegemony is opened, there will be chain reactions that will not even be able to judge.
"Oh? The Nanhai Sect has run away? It's so smart!"
Inside the Zhennan Royal Palace, Fang Ming received a news that surprised him slightly.
"Report to the King!"
In public, Song Zhi was still very concerned about the influence and magnanimity: "Our spies came to report that the Nanhai Sect's resident was in vain three days ago. Since the head Mei Xun was nowhere to be seen, he received secret news from the Water Dragon Gang that the Nanhai Sect was relocated to Taiyuan! It seemed to be trying to surrender to the Li family!"
"Taiyuan?!" Fang Ming sneered.
The Nanhai faction is just a nail left by Fang Ming.
When the Great Sui Dynasty was in great strength, it showed that the enemy was weak and showed a look of being restrained.
But now, this nail in my heart should be removed.
However, they are not fools after all, and they will flash their minds when they see that the scenery is wrong.
Not only did he escape quickly, Mei Xun also fled to Taiyuan extremely decisively and hid under the four major clans.
With Chao Gongcuo's status as a master, he couldn't wait to rely on him. Cihang Jingzhai's appeal made Fang Ming's eyes look cold.
"Time is endless! If you cannot occupy the south before the other party starts completely, hegemony will be in danger!"
"Transfer our military orders! I will review the three armies in the future!"
Fang Ming made a decision with a firm face.
...
The spring of the thirteenth year of Daye.
50,000 elite troops were sent out in Lingnan, and the King of Zhennan Song Que personally took charge. He vowed to the north to fight. The troops headed directly to Baling, and the world was terrifying.
Song Que's first sword technique and military strategy are famous. The world's heroes have long been well-known, and the strength of Lingnan has accumulated for thunder for thunder. The thirty years of Lingnan cannot be underestimated.
Since the Song family's sphere of influence came from the south, the Song family network relied on business roads to enter everywhere. Once it started, its power was unstoppable, and it was attacked in Changsha County in March.
Although Changsha County is a large southern county, the troops in the county were not yet united at this time. After two days of besieging, a defender killed the prefect and came out to surrender.
The Song family army immediately used Changsha as a base and deployed a besiege to Baling.
As soon as this news came out, the heroes from the north suddenly turned green.
They knew very well that the terrifying dragon of the Song clan in the southern part had moved. If they could not stabilize the north before the other party swept the south, at least they would have obtained a large piece of territory, and would completely lose the qualification to compete for the world!
The conflict in the north immediately intensified countless times. Li Yuan, Taiyuan, killed the officials sent by Emperor Yang of Sui to monitor himself in the name of suppressing the civil war, and officially expanded his army.
Li Mi even ignored the exhaustion of the army and fought for days to capture Xingluo Cang, and opened a large warehouse to provide relief to the victims, and his power continued to expand.
Zhai Rang could not do so, so he could only grant Li Mi the construction of the "Pushan Public Camp", which led to Li Mi becoming more and more prosperous and embarking on the road to usurpation of the throne.
For a time, the north was in a state of chaos, and Fang Ming ignored it and planned to guide Baling.
...
"The king, Baling is located in Jingchu, with the advantages of Dongting, the danger of rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Baling Gang uses this as its base camp. At this time, the big leader is Xiao Xian, Shabo, Xianggui and others, all of whom are good at being the ones..."
"Not only that, the Baling Gang sold humans for Emperor Yang of Sui, privateed women to betray and supply brothels. Although his reputation was not very good, he made too much profit to arm tens of thousands of elite soldiers. We must be warned... Fortunately, we took the initiative at this time, and the Baling Gang caught him off guard. Otherwise, if he attacked hard, there would be serious casualties!"
The entire Changsha seemed to have been transformed into a huge military camp, and Song Zhi was talking freely in the prefect's palace.
War is not enough to have money.
It takes time to buy food and grass, collect iron, polish weapons, and even train soldiers!
Fang Ming just didn't give the other party this opportunity, and directly conquered Changsha with thunder, and the next step was to march into Baling.
Otherwise, if Xiao Xian really develops calmly and with the potential of Jingchu, it will inevitably be very troublesome to clean up in the future.
"Don't worry about the navy! Song Lu has already taken my Song family navy north to set up a water camp at Dongting Lake to confront the Dongting Navy in Baling!"
Fang Ming looked at the huge terrain map without looking back.
"Father, should the Pegasus Ranch participate in the siege and attack from north to south?"
Song Shidao also changed into military uniforms at this time, and naturally he had a kind of iron-blooded murderous aura on his body.
"No! Pegasus Ranch is weak and has to deal with the pressure from Xiangyang and the four major bandits in the north. It is very difficult to protect yourself and it is impossible to intervene!"
Song Zhi immediately interrupted.
The Pegasus Ranch is next to Jingling. The guardian Fang Zetao and the Pegasus Ranch are old, and they are even secretly controlled by Fang Ming. At this time, the general manager Shang Zhen, Liang Zhi, Liu Zongdao, Tao Shusheng and Wu Zhaoru were all part of the Lingnan power.
But he had not turned against each other before, and Fang Ming's powerful sword could shock the surrounding sluts and prevent them from being presumptuous.
But now, at least if Xiao Xian had the chance, he would definitely not hesitate to defeat Jingling and Pegasus Ranch.
After all, once you are involved in the dispute between the world, you will lose your transcendent status. The path before the Song family can no longer be understood. This is the price you have to pay to conquer the world!
Fortunately, as early as the New Year, Fang Ming urged the Pegasus Ranch to transfer excellent war horses and transport them back to Lingnan in batches. At this time, some old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind, and even if they were broken, the losses could be minimized.
"Not bad! And it has always been a battle for the world, and the start is the most important thing! Since we started the army, Changsha has been besieged for a few days. Everything has gone too easily. This time it was a tough battle and I will be trained by the way!"
Fang Ming said.
In fact, this battle seemed to him to lay the foundation for the future!
The people who have always competed for the Central Plains and competed for the Nine Cauldrons. Although there are laws of golden horns, silver edges, and grass belly, they all have one common feature, that is, at least one of the two major river basins of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River!
The two river basins are actually the birthplace of Central Plains civilization, and along the river is the essence of the Central Plains, and it also has the convenience of water transportation.
It can be said that without bordering the main roads of the Liangjiang River Basin, the power was almost squeezed out of the gate of the World Games, and there was no qualification to participate.
Even if the Song family in the original work has the Tiandao Song Que, what if it is the authentic Han dynasty in the Southern Han Dynasty? They are still excluded from the game and can only fund other riots, and they rarely end up in person.
All because of geography, the way out was locked by the powerful enemies around him!
Fang Ming took advantage of the opportunity that the surrounding enemies were not so powerful and tore through the encirclement with lightning speed. Once he successfully broke through Baling and marched into the Yangtze River Basin, the overall situation would be completely revitalized and he would have the opportunity to see the world in the future!
...
Baling surrounds Dongting and is bordered by the Yangtze River. It is across the river from the Jianghan Plain in the north and adjacent to the Shishou, Hubei in the west, and has a magnificent atmosphere.
But at this time, outside the majestic and stern Baling City, there were already a lot of Song soldiers wearing red scarves and holding sharp edges.
Fang Ming gave the order, and the catapult, cart, ladder, and wooden chariot all rushed up dozens of times.
At this time, the head of Baling City was also covered with soldiers. With the shouts of the guards, the generals beat wood, huge rocks, and even boiled hot oil and gold juice.
From time to time, soldiers of the Song family were hit by huge rocks, and they became meat paste without even shouting.
And if it is splashed with hot oil and gold juice, it will be even more unlucky and scream.
There were no antibiotics at this time, and once the scald was infected, it could basically be declared dead. Therefore, the deaths and injuries in ancient wars were particularly heavy.
But Fang Ming's expression remained unmoved.
At this time, we can see the difference. Years of training have been carried out, and the emphasis on military discipline and clear rewards and punishments have led to the fact that even though the vanguard was frustrated at this time, the soldiers of the Song family still bravely stepped forward under the urging of their respective sergeant captains.
"Go up the arrow tower, archers suppress it!"
Fang Ming, who looked at the audience, immediately issued an order.
More than ten arrow tower cars with thick wooden boards with special arrows were pushed forward.
Among the arrow towers, there are more than a dozen archers. As long as they reach an appropriate distance, they can fire arrows at the head of the city, kill and injure the defenders on the city, and cover the attacks of other people.
At this time, with a command, the carriage slowly advanced and reached the city gate. The archer controlled the strings continuously, and the arrow suddenly fell like a locust rain.
Many soldiers on the top of the city fell to the ground with arrows, and were in chaos for a while. The army seized the opportunity and continued to climb up the ladder...
...
The battle lasted until dark, and only then did the gold retreat.
At this time, the siege is not a matter of one or two days. Some even have to surround for a few years. Only when the ammunition and food in the city are exhausted can the results be received. If the soldiers in the city suffer heavy casualties and morale are low, they often have to choose a way to massacre the city.
After five days of continuous rest, the soldiers inside and outside the city were exhausted.
"The army spirit in this city is still quite strong! Xiao Xian is really a talented person. Unfortunately, since he is an opponent, he can only kill him!"
Fang Ming looked at the city wall from afar, but he was still chatting and laughing.
This kind of calm and gentle attitude made Song Shidao next to him admire him.
He just watched the prison in the commander's tent, and faced with the daily casualties and the still standing Baling City, he felt extremely stressed.
Unfortunately, Song Shidao didn't know that Fang Ming was still holding a gunpowder mine in his hand, so he was certainly fearless.
He hasn't reached his bottom line yet, so he still doesn't want to throw out such a trump card.
"Report!"
At this time, Song Zhi came in with joyful expression: "Report to the king! Song Lu just broke through the Dongting Naval Master and killed the third leader of the Yuan Baling Gang!"
"good!"
Fang Ming slapped his high-high, looked into Baling City, opened the heavenly eyes and looked at the Qi Technique, and suddenly a wonderful sense appeared in his heart: "As the Dongting Navy was destroyed, Baling City would be like a break, contact the inner room with all his strength, and order them to launch it at all costs!"
That night, Xianggui, Xiangyushan and his son secretly opened the city gate and let the Song family army enter. Baling City was immediately destroyed. The city lord Xiao Xian died on the spot, and countless surrendered people. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 16-09-27 09:08:39
