    Chapter 385: Take the initiative to send troops

    Master Lang was playing sports with his beloved concubine when he heard a report from a servant, saying that Jizhou City had been captured. Prince Yelu Dezhong and uncle Kangli Ding'an were seriously injured. They were being treated outside the palace and requested to be summoned. He also said that there was a big threat.  Report important matters.

    After hearing this, Master Lang immediately withered. He immediately put on his clothes and went to the study to summon Yelv Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an. He also sent guards to summon Chu Jian, Wu Yan, He Chongbao and other important ministers.

    After a lot of fuss, everyone gathered in the study.

    Yelv Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an have been bandaged, but their faces are still a little pale.  Seeing Master Lang staring at them, the two of them were horrified. Then they knelt down and shouted: "The guilty minister lost the city and deserves death. I beg Master Lang to punish me!"

    The master slapped the table and shouted: "What did you do? You can't defend a city! You still claim to be a general. From my point of view, huh, you are a bunch of trash! Not only did you lose the city, but you also lost the army and generals.  According to military law, you should be killed! If I hadn¡¯t seen something fishy, ??I would have executed you right now! Get up and answer your question!"

    "Thank you Sir!" The two of them thanked each other hurriedly.

    Master Lang said: "Let me ask you, why did Liangshan's army capture Jizhou City so quickly? Could it be that they fell from the sky? Could there be a mutiny in the city? Otherwise, how could they capture the city? There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jizhou City. It stands to reason that  It was able to resist the Liangshan army for a period of time, not to mention three days, at least one day, but how could it be defeated in half an hour? It¡¯s incredible!¡±

    Yelu Dezhong hurriedly reported back and said: "Reporting to Master Lang, Ximen Qing has a powerful artillery team! This artillery team has more than fifty artillery pieces. They are set up in a row in front of the city gate, and then they blast the city together! Then  The power of the artillery was so powerful that it turned the entire city wall into a hornet's nest. Although our army was brave, we were powerless in the face of the artillery all over the sky"

    "Fart!" Master Lang scolded: "Artillery? The artillery of the Song Dynasty is heavy, has short range, and is weak. How can it bombard the city? Don't make fun of me with nonsense!"

    Kangli Ding'an also said: "Even if I give you two heads, I don't dare to tease my master. Master Lang doesn't know something. The prince is absolutely right. The reason why the enemy was able to capture Jizhou City is that this artillery team is  It takes 70%, no, 80% of the credit! Lord Lang doesn¡¯t know something. The artillery used by Ximen Qing is no longer the heavy and difficult-to-move artillery of the Song Dynasty. Instead, it has always been small in size and can be mounted by two or three people.  A new type of artillery was running around, and although the artillery was small, it was more powerful than large artillery. When the artillery shells hit the city wall, they directly created a depression, hit people, and directly exploded into meat paste flying all over the sky.  . The enemy carried out a total of five or six bombings, causing our troops to dodge in panic. How could we think about defending the city? In the end, the enemy used ladders and wells to climb up the city!"

    Master Lang was immediately shocked, and other civil servants and generals also looked horrified.

    "Is this true?" Master Lang asked in a deep voice.

    Yelu Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an knelt down and said, "I dare not deceive Master Lang!"

    "Suck" Master Lang took a breath of air and said: "If this is really the case, then we will be in big trouble! Master, what do you think?"

    Chu Jian also looked solemn and said: "If the enemy really masters the powerful small artillery, it will be dangerous, and Youzhou will be difficult to resist! Master Lang, as I see it, we must wait until the enemy comes to attack Youzhou."  We have to figure out where the enemy¡¯s artillery comes from, and we also need to set up artillery on the walls of Youzhou City!¡±

    Master Lang nodded and said: "That's right, Taishi, you quickly send people into the Song Dynasty and quickly investigate where those artillery came from. As for setting up all the artillery in Youzhou City, this matter is not  It¡¯s easy to handle, after all, there are only a few artillery pieces in the city, and they are all big ones!¡±

    Chu Jian said: "Back to Master Lang, we have to fight as many as there are. The big guys are big guys. It's better than nothing! In addition, according to what I saw, I think we can't just sit back and wait for death. We must take the initiative! The enemy has artillery.  They have great advantages in siege, so we cannot let their advantages be used! Although those artillery are much smaller, they are only suitable for siege. If it is a confrontation, we still rely on the army. So we take the initiative,  Don¡¯t let the enemy have the opportunity to use artillery, so that their artillery advantage will be lost! This will also buy time and let us figure out the origin of their artillery as soon as possible!¡±

    At this time, He Chongbao clasped his fists and said: "The final general is willing to send troops!"

    Master Lang nodded and said: "What the grand master said is absolutely true. If this is the case, then we will send troops. General He, if you send troops, do you have any good strategies to deal with the enemy?"

    He Chongbao said: "Master Lang does not know. There is a place at the intersection of Youzhou and Jizhou. It is called Qingshi Valley. There is only one way to enter that place. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and there is no way to survive. I only need to defeat the enemy.  The army was introduced inside, and then mobilized troops and horses to surround them outside.  These grass bandits have no way out and no retreat. They will starve to death within a few days.  "

    At this time, Wu Yan on the side asked: "How do you lure them into taking the bait?"

    Wuyan was the commander of Youzhou's army and horses. He was the most brave general in the Liao Kingdom and had a high status.  And He Chongbao is his subordinate.

    He Chongbao said: "Ximen Qing attacked three major counties and thought he had artillery in his hands. Now he must be full of arrogance and arrogance, and must be thinking about attacking Youzhou. In this case, why don't I take the initiative to lure him to attack?  ?¡±

    Chu Jian said: "Ximen Qing is a smart man. Although this strategy is not a good one, if it is planned well, Ximen Qing may not be able to mislead him! If the plan is good, then General He must show off enough and the battle will be fierce.  , and finally withdraw the troops desperately, so as to lure the enemy to take the bait!"

    He Chongbao said: "What the Grand Master said is absolutely true!"

    Master Lang nodded, then gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, let General He command one hundred thousand troops to attack Jizhou! It is best if you can wipe out the Liangshan bandits. If not, then lure them to the bait! Let General Yunshan  Command 100,000 troops to respond, and be sure to annihilate all the enemies after they take the bait!"

    As soon as these words came out, Wu Yan was shocked and said hurriedly: "Master Lang, this is absolutely impossible! If 200,000 people are sent there, then there will only be 10,000 or 20,000 people in Bazhou City. Who will protect Master Lang's safety then?"  "

    He Chongbao also said: "Yes, Master Lang, give me 100,000 troops and I can complete all the tasks. I don't need General Yunshan to support me!"

    Master Lang waved his hand and said: "Ximen Qing is too cunning and the enemy army is too strong. You only lead one hundred thousand troops. In the end, even if you lead the enemy troops into the trap, there will be no troops to trap them! When they break out, plan  Everything is broken. So someone must take care of it! As for my safety, I will go back to Yanjing tomorrow, and Wuyan will be in charge of Youzhou! Generals, please remember that if Youzhou is captured, Yanjing will also be in danger.  Our Liao Kingdom is also in danger at that time, and we have no choice but to leave the border! Therefore, for the future of the Liao Kingdom, this battle must be successful, recapture Jizhou, and annihilate the enemy!"
