Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Once they start fighting...

He's likely to win in the end.

Ding Desun watched from the city wall as the Western Xia cavalry were about to reach the drawbridge.

It also entered their throwing range.

Immediately light a fire grenade and throw it towards the suspension bridge.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise,

The first few riders to charge were immediately blown to pieces.

Even worse was the loud bang.

This startled many of the warhorses charging from both sides.

Some people stood up.

Some turned around and ran away.

One warhorse even charged straight into the moat.

A splash of water rose up.

What terrified the Western Xia people even more was that this was just the beginning.

After a loud bang,

Explosions continued to occur.

In a few breaths,

Twenty fire bombs were then thrown down from the city wall.

The Western Xia cavalry who rushed close were thrown into complete chaos.

Several startled warhorses accidentally rode onto the pontoon bridge.

He was also shot down by Gong Wang and others.

The warhorses several dozen feet outside the suspension bridge were thrown into chaos.

The roads into the city were completely blocked.

The cavalrymen in the distance could no longer get close to the drawbridge.

Renli saw this,

They knew they couldn't capture the city gate.

He could only say to the messenger beside him,

"Let them withdraw."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A series of urgent bugle calls rang out.

The cavalry that had seized the city then withdrew.

The attack and retreat took only a short time.

Hundreds of corpses were left on the ground.

The casualties among the Shunzhou troops were not significant.

However, the Shunzhou garrison commander who led the charge was killed in action.

Previously, in the duel,

The deputy general of Shunzhou has been killed in action.

Renli then sent a trusted confidant to take over the troops in Shunzhou.

The garrison commander of Huaizhou has also been replaced by Renli's confidant.

The original garrison commander, confident in his bravery,

Han Shizhong will be the one to fight.

They fought for more than thirty rounds.

However, he was killed on the spot by Han Shizhong.

Chapter 1901 City Defense

The garrison commander of Jingzhou was cautious.

No battle was played.

He only sent a few of his deputy generals.

Seeing that Renli had successively taken over the troops of Huaizhou and Shunzhou,

They couldn't help but feel a little surprised and suspicious.

After all, although the generals of the two states had died in battle,

However, it is entirely possible to promote from either of the two generals.

It is not necessary to have a close confidant who is not benevolent and courteous.

Renli disregarded the life of the king.

To attack Xingqing Prefecture

They also took the opportunity to seize military power.

In addition, Renzhong also led 200,000 troops.

If they were to gain control of the entire nation's military forces...

Even if Xingqing Prefecture is captured

The king did not die at the hands of the Liang army.

They might lose their lives in a muddle.

Daliang did not close the city gates.

However, the Western Xia did not continue their attack.

Instead, it slowly receded.

Yao Pingzhong asked in confusion, "Why did the Western Xia troops retreat?"

Han Shizhong said, "These troops must have received the news last night."

"I came in a hurry today,"

"Without siege equipment, they cannot breach the city."

"They're probably here to show off their power."

"If we hold our ground and don't come out, they will retreat."

"Unexpectedly, we have to go out of the city to meet the enemy,"

"That's why they gave us some credit for our battles."

"We should set up camp now,"

"They've started manufacturing siege equipment."

Liu Qi said eagerly.

"Why don't we pursue them a little longer?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Pingzhong immediately echoed,

"General Liu is right,"

"Let's learn from Li Yuanhao,"

"If they send a large force, we will retreat."

"We will attack when they are unprepared."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass."

"When the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue him."

This is the sixteen-character guideline for guerrilla warfare in later generations.

As for who came up with the summary, opinions vary.

Upon hearing this, Sun Li couldn't help but praise,

"Your Majesty's four sentences have truly captured the essence of harassment warfare."

Liu Qi laughed and said, "We will do as Your Majesty instructs."

"We can definitely exhaust the Western Xia army by harassing them."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "The troops in the city need to guard the city day and night, and it is not advisable to go out to fight again."

"If any of you are going to fight,"

"Let's go together, so we can look out for each other."

Sun Li shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

Zhang Qing thought for a moment and shook his head, saying...

"I'm not good at archery, so I won't go."

Liu Qi, however, looked at Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong.

Han Shizhong was also highly skilled in archery and horsemanship.

Although Yao Pingzhong was not known for his archery skills,

But it was also drawn with a stiff bow.

The three were young and impetuous.

The age when one wants to make a name for oneself

He immediately cupped his hands and said...

"We are willing to leave the city."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Very well."

"The original plan to send the head to the border regions has been cancelled,"

"I'll give you another chance to make a name for yourselves."

"You are free to hunt down the Western Xia people to your heart's content,"

"Kill a hundred of them and I'll make you barons."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"How many are viscounts?"

He was skilled in archery.

As long as the Western Xia people send out patrols...

He can then hunt them.

Unless the Western Xia people all stayed in their camps

Of course that's impossible.

Only by letting the patrolmen out for a few miles can we achieve this.

When the enemy attacks the camp,

Only then will there be enough time to assemble troops.

If only guarding the camp,
