In Fuqiang Village, Sang Yi stood on the watchtower, holding a telescope, looking at the enemy troops gushing out of the mouth of the Sandu River Valley. He said to Xu Qian, the marquis of Youyu beside him without looking back: "As expected by Jishuai, Dangxiang's 'Bubazi' came to attack the city first!"

Xu Qian raised his telescope and looked for a while, and said, "Military Master, when the enemy is not in the formation, should I take the cavalry out for a while? I will slam the thieves' heads and prevent them from getting too close to the city!"

Sang Yi shook his head: "Forget it, Ji Shuai repeatedly told him that on the first day, just defend the enemy and do not fight, and let the invading thieves gather here as soon as possible. We face both rivers, and there are all bows and crossbows in the village, and there are plenty of arrows. The thieves are not good at attacking the city. Let them attack for a day first. We have collected all the ships on the Wei River, and they have nowhere to go."

At this time, the sun was rising, and the sunlight shone down from the nearby hillside, shining on the Wei River with sparkling waves. The dead grass on the roadside was hung with frost, and when it stepped on it, frost was splashing everywhere, as if it had snowed.

The audience was buried and rode on the horse, looking at the Fuqiang Village not far ahead, frowned.

Fu Qiang was called a village because there were too few households under his jurisdiction. In fact, this is ancient Jicheng County, one of the earliest places to establish a county seat in Chinese history. It has been more than a thousand years since then. Jicheng City was established and abolished, and it was abolished and established. In the second year of Daye, Sui Dynasty, the county seat was moved to the current place where the two rivers converge. In the third year of Wude, Jicheng County was changed to Fu Qiang County, which was more than four hundred years ago. The ancient city is still there, and in recent months, large-scale renovations have been carried out. This Fu Qiang Village is second only to Qinzhou City within hundreds of miles.

Like the surrounding Fan Qiang tribes, the Dangxiang army is conducive to field battles and is not good at siegeing cities. The journey along the way is long and rugged, so they cannot bring siege equipment. But they must attack the Fu Qiang village in front of them.

When the Sandu River came out of the valley, the river channel was close to the cliffs in the east. They marched along the valley path and could only walk west of the Sandu River. After the valley path, they were on the north bank of the Wei River. To the east is the Sandu River, the north is the Sandu River, the north is the mountains, the west is the mountains, and the south is the surging Wei River. No matter where they were going, they had to conquer Fuqiang Village and cross the Wei River and Sandu River. In fact, there are loess gullies in Liangmao north of the Wei River. The valley path was cut by the river water. The earth rotated, and the river channel would inevitably stick to the east side of the valley path. Not only the Sandu River, but also the nearby Wating River.

The detailed audience naturally does not understand this principle, and he does not need to understand it. He only needs to conquer Fuqiang Village.

Three thousand "Bubazi" walked out of the valley and finished arraying five miles away from Fuqiang Village, and was silent for a moment.

Looking at the strong Fuqiang Village not far ahead, everyone was worried and didn't know what they would face. The journey was smooth, except for the Zhuchengxiang Army who fled in Gangu City, they did not encounter any obstacles from the Song army. The smooth advance of this march made the Dangxiang people forget that they were attacking from afar until they saw this Fuqiang Village.

After the reorganization of the troops, the ministry was not in a hurry to arrange a siege, but called his confidant soldiers and ordered: "You divide a team of people to investigate along the Wei River to see if there are any ships available for crossing the river. Then divide a team of people to check out the Sanduchuan River behind the valley to see if there is any place to wader by. In addition, two thousand neglects will be arranged to log on the mountain and prepare to make siege tools such as stones and ladders. The remaining neglects will camp nearby. Before dark, you must set up camp!"

Everyone took the order and went there. The detailed rewarder called the deputy general and said to him: "You will lead the two relocations and the army. Let's try to attack the city from this side. There will be no Song army along the way, and maybe there will be no heavy troops in the city."

If you say it, those who give a detailed appreciation will not believe it. In such an important place in Fuqiang Village, there is a newly established Sansipu, so you will inevitably have heavy troops to set up defenses. The only hope is that the Song army guarding the city has no fighting spirit and will abandon the city early and flee.

Sang Yi was in the Wanglou, using a telescope to observe the movements of the invading Dangxiang Army. Seeing a group of hundreds of people lined up in an orderly manner, he slowly leaned towards the city, and turned to the new recruits beside him and said, "Du Yuanji, who went to inform the West City, only had hundreds of invading enemies, and only used crossbows, and only boiling oil should be used whenever he reached the city wall. He should not let the other party see how strong our city is!"

The personal soldiers took the order and turned around.

Xu Qian said: "Military Master, in order to prevent accidents, should I go to the west city to guard?"

"No need, Dangxiang has not yet siege a large scale, they can defend it. You stay here to prevent the invading thieves from doing anything unexpected. When the city is in critical condition, you will take people out of the city to rush. The city cannot be guarded, not to see how strong the city is and how difficult the city gate is to break, but to see whether the city has the ability to retaliate against the enemy. The right army you lead is the key to defending the city. As long as you can go out of the city and rush out a few more times, the siege will naturally be solved."

The most important thing to avoid defending is to use counterattack against charges and use local offense to support overall defense, so that it can be as solid as a rock.

The same is true for defending the city. If there is no mobile power in the city and cannot go out to kill the enemy, the city will become a dead city, and even the most solid city will be destroyed one day. The culmination of the ancient theory of defending the city was the old rules of the two Song dynasties. His book "City Defending" is contrary to the previous theory of building high city walls and closing the city gates tightly, but instead proposes that the city walls should not be too high, so as to cover the stones of the square, the city gates should be opened as much as possible to facilitate the defenders in the city to escape from the city to charge.

Xu Ping's military theory comes from the influence of his previous life, and learns the combat style of the army in his previous life. When defending, he pays attention to counter-charge against charge, attack against attack, and maneuver against maneuver. Instead of defending to death in irrelevant places, he should consume power as much as possible, and use local advantages to eliminate the enemy's living forces through an attack annihilation war, and eat up the invading enemy bit by bit. In this way, in addition to requiring the city to be stable, the defense of the city should also emphasize that there must be sufficient reserve teams in the city to be able to discover the enemy's weaknesses at any time to attack, which coincides with the old rules more than a hundred years later.

Create defense opportunities in real time in offense and find attack opportunities at any time in defense. This is a qualified army.

The Dangxiang army was getting closer and closer to Fuqiang Village, but the Fuqiang Village was still silent as if it was dead, as if it was an empty city without people. This silence made people feel panicked, and even the Dangxiang "Bubazi" who was slowly pressing up felt numb.

The system of the Party and the army is based on the tribe. The number of people in the same organization is different, so it is difficult to be uniform. Generally speaking, it is divided into pieces, clan, clan, and top. clan is the most basic unit, composed of one to eight regular soldiers, with a negative outlook of varying numbers. One of them is the auxiliary chief, who temporarily fights on the regular army when the main army dies when the main army dies. After returning to the army, the children of the main army are still passed on to the main army. Dozens of copying form one clan, based on the principle of the same clan. If a clan exceeds sixty, the leader can divide thirty copies into thirty copies as the leader, not the single clan. If the number of copying is too small, it will be merged with other clans to form a squad, and the squad is the same level as Qianliu. The number of clans is combined into one head, and the number of people is different.

Compared with the military system of the Song army, Dangxiang's Qiliu was the most basic organizational unit, similar to the command of the Song army. However, the number of people was not fixed, between Yidu and Yi command, with less than one hundred people and the most were nearly five hundred people.

The deputy general who came to attack led two relocations, and there were about 700 people. They said they were leading the army, but in fact they still included the auxiliary. The Dangxiang Zhengjun was equipped with official horses, bows, swords, guns, spears, and A. They did not necessarily carry them all on their bodies, and they were not required to be carried by their subordinates. The "Bubazi" mainly focuses on infantry battles, marched and rode horses, and walked on foot during combat.

A mile away from Fuqiang Village, the deputy general began to reorganize the army again. At this time, there was still no sound in Fuqiang Village, which made the deputy general feel sad. Normal combat, and drums should be heard everywhere in the city.

After reorganizing the troops, the Dangxiang Army continued to move forward. The more they left Fuqiang City, the more they felt nervous.

The deputy general licked his chapped lips and whispered to the personal soldiers beside him: "Waiting within three hundred steps of the city ahead, you can listen to my orders and blow up the horn immediately, and the whole army will rush! The crossbow arrows of the Song army are so powerful that when they arrive at the city, the crossbow will not be able to shoot us!"

The personal soldier held the horn tightly in his hands, his face turned pale, and he made a lot of promises.

At this time, the sun had risen, without any wind, only the heavy footsteps of the Dangxiang Army hit a yellow earth. The frost had already melted, turning into dew hanging on the dead grass, and slowly dripping to the ground.

The personal soldiers felt dry mouth and silently counted the steps forward, and their hearts were beating like thunder. This time, the deputy general of the siege did not ride a horse, otherwise he would become a conspicuous target and would be shot into a hedgehog by crossbow arrows before he could get under the city.

Seeing that it was about 300 steps away from the city, the personal soldiers held back their beating wildly and whispered: "Sir, it's 300 steps!"

The deputy general licked his lips again, looked up at the still dead Fuqiang Village, raised his right arm high, shouted loudly, "Run with all your strength, go to the city, gather at the city gate, and smash the city gate!"

A low trumpet spread across the withered earth. The Dangxiang Army rushed towards Fuqiang Village as if frightened.

Du Yuanji stood on the gate tower, his face as deep as water. Looking at Dangxiang's "Bubazi" who rushed over like an ant, he said to Li Chengqing, the right-Yu Hou beside him: "Go to the city wall and listen to the sound of my horns, and all the soldiers prepare. When the drum sounds, the bows and crossbows will shoot arrows together. If there is a crossbow that does not open or shoot, kill! If the archer cannot shoot all the arrows, kill!"

This is the rule of the imperial guards during the battle. The power of the crossbow is strong, but it takes a long time to open the arrow. If a crossbow is fired, the space needs to be filled by the archer. Therefore, a crossbow shoots one arrow, while a archer can range from three to ten arrows. It will be arranged before the battle. If this number is the number, there will be many arrows in front of the archer. One drum must be shot, otherwise it will be a death sentence.

Li Chengqing crossed his hands and responded, quickly left the city tower and inspected the city wall.
