Chapter 589 A Great Victory
Zong Xin likes to fight such battles and use such tactics.Every time, he advances by retreating, let the enemy take advantage of it first, and then hit him hard when the enemy is the most proud and happy.

This strategy is terrible. Guo Wei and Song Yan saw it with their own eyes from the beginning to the end. They had huge doubts about their own military art. Did they learn it wrong... Why is their way of using soldiers different from Zong Xin? It is a trick, Zong Xin has a corner of the sky and a corner of the earth. It is not far-fetched at all, but it is successful every time.

Zongxin does not actually do many things. Although no one can do such things as fogging, fogging in winter is normal, and it can even be used at night.As long as you can't confirm the opponent's position, you can use drums to scare the opponent and force the attacker to retreat.

Instead of retreating, Liu Chong took advantage of the night and mist to march and directly approached the city.In fact, Liu Chong is already relatively perfect. His plan is very clever, and it can be said to be a successful case of scheming. However, everything Liu Chong does seems to be a judgment made under the control of Zong Xin. I am afraid that there are many psychological struggles in it. Only Liu Chong himself knows.

Zong Xin was not idle either. His approach was astonishingly consistent with Liu Chong's. He also let his cavalry march slowly under the cover of the sound of drums. Finally, when the two armies met, the cavalry had already begun to charge.

The charging cavalry cannot be stopped, unless Liu Chong makes preparations early and uses a halberd as a shield to stop all the horses in the first row. Even so, the infantry fighting the cavalry will be a huge loss, not to mention Xin's cavalry were covered in scale armor, even with a halberd, it might not be able to stop these cavalry from charging.

With the same strategy, the same technique, Zong Xin will strike later, and Liu Chong is expected to follow suit. His attainments in the art of war are no longer as simple as far surpassing Liu Chong, but completely crushing Liu Chong's IQ and ability.

Guo Wei sighed: "Sure enough, the highest state of the art of war is to attack the heart. I'm afraid no one can imitate the son-in-law's brilliant moves. Liu Chong has suffered heavy losses this time, and it will not be so easy to regain his strength."

"It's unimaginable to win more with less. I still haven't figured it out. Liu Chong clearly has an absolute advantage in battle. Even if he resists [-] cavalry, he will not easily show weakness with his strength. Why did he order the withdrawal? It's a pity The fog was so thick that I couldn't see how three thousand cavalry trampled fifty thousand infantry with my own eyes, what a pity."

Zong Dao: "Actually, not too many people were killed by the cavalry. Although the cavalry went on a rampage and killed tens of thousands of Liu Chong easily, the fog was too thick and the cavalry had nowhere to pursue them. After the fog cleared, spread out and run away." People will gather again. Therefore, the cavalry only disrupts the enemy's formation, and the infantry rushing out from Weizhou City is the main combat force. A prisoner of the Northern Han Dynasty."

What Zong Xin said was normal, and it was true. With 3000 people fighting against [-] in the fog, the cavalry can't kill many, and the real reaper is still the infantry.But even if Liu Chong was smarter in this battle, he ordered the withdrawal of troops at a critical moment, otherwise the three thousand cavalry would rampage in his team, plus the oncoming infantry, the final result would be the annihilation of Liu Chong's entire army.

Liu Chong was indeed a timid man and was ready to retreat as soon as he saw something was wrong. But how could such a timid man have the courage to march in the fog and listen to the sound of drums to identify positions before attacking the city?What kind of drug did Zong Xin give Liu Chong?
"Husband-in-law, so Weizhou City has been defended, right?"

Zong Xin nodded and said: "It can be said that because I am still in Weizhou, I will definitely be able to defend it. However, it may be very difficult to convince Liu Chong to lose based on this battle alone."

Although Guo Wei didn't want to admit it, he had acquiesced to Zong Xin's statement.Liu Chong would not surrender so easily, and in this foggy weather, scattered deserters were not easy to pursue.The cavalry is indeed good, but after all, the number is limited, and the fog obstructs the line of sight, so although this battle is a complete victory, it is impossible to cause a fatal blow to Liu Chong.

After this battle is over, perhaps the number of troops in Liu Chong's hands will drop sharply, but it would be good if he can reduce it by half.Most of the soldiers will gather again and then return to the Northern Han barracks, so that Liu Chong's troops will still outperform those of the Weizhou Song Clan.

Originally, I didn't intend to counterattack, so it was not easy to defend to the death.Zong Xin's plan actually caused Liu Chong to return in a big defeat, but... Liu Chong had no resistance in the Northern Han Dynasty, and he could dispatch troops again to suppress Weizhou.Although Liu Chong will waste some time, the crisis in Weizhou is still not resolved.

Song Yan said: "Anyway, this battle will severely weaken Liu Chong's vitality. It is estimated that he will not be able to gather troops again to suppress Weizhou in a short period of time. When he has gathered enough troops, my scattered disciples of the Song clan should also Come back, he may not be my opponent by then."

The original strength of the Song Clan is not weak, and all of them are good fighters on the battlefield.But because of Liu Chong's suppression, the Song Clan was continuously reduced in military power, and those soldiers had to do other jobs in order to survive.As long as these people know that the Song Clan is rising again, and this time it is on Guo Wei's territory, Guo Wei not only did not suppress Song Yan, but instead fully supported them, these soldiers will return to the Song Clan's tent.

It’s just that many people have gone too far in different places, and it will take a long time for these people to get the news and come back.Since it was the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the Northern Han Dynasty, it was not easy for them to cross the Northern Han Dynasty and come to Weizhou, so what Song Yan needed was time. As long as Liu Chong gave Song Yan enough time, it would not be a problem to defend Weizhou .

Zong Xin smiled lightly and said, "How can Liu Chong have such kindness? He won't give you enough time. After this defeat, Liu Chong will definitely immediately assemble an army to attack head-on. But please don't worry, the two father-in-laws, as long as I have Now, Liu Chong will never be able to attack."

Regarding this point, Guo Wei and Song Yan never doubted it.They knew that Zong Xin had this ability, and had witnessed Zong Xin's great strength countless times. It was far more reassuring to have him in Weizhou than thousands of troops.This is the real role of a smart mind, Zong Xin can really play the opponent to death, only those who are blind will fight against Zong Xin.

…………

The cavalry pursued all the way, killing from morning to noon. Finally, the Northern Han team completely dispersed. Even though the fog had long since disappeared, the cavalry could hardly find any trace of the enemy.It was only at this time that Zhao Pu and He Meiyu ordered to withdraw their troops and return to Weizhou.

This battle was fought for a long time, and it took half a day to return to Weizhou.No matter how good the physique of the war horse is, it will be exhausted after a long run.The brothers of the Ao Gang first removed some of the heavier armor for the horse, and then dismounted and walked away holding the armor.Ride back until the horse regains its strength.

When they came back, they counted the number of people. Only a few dozen people were injured in the Ao Gang, and most of them were only slightly injured. Only a few people were seriously injured, but they were not life-threatening.As for the number of Northern Han soldiers who died, I don’t know. The battlefield is too big and the battle line is too long. I don't know how many people will become the fertilizer of these weeds.

It was not until the evening that all the people were counted. The losses of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not small, but most of them were defending the city, but the gains were even greater.The soldiers of the Song Clan captured more than 4000 deserters in total, and the number of people killed could not be counted. This was an important battle in which fewer people won more, and the whole Weizhou was full of joy.

In fact, the brothers of the Ao Gang had no idea what was going on. They just received Zhao Pu's order to march while taking advantage of the fog and the sound of drums, and then slowly advance after calculating the distance.After encountering the enemy, there is nothing else to say, just rush over and kill them.

The members of the Ao Gang knew about it a long time ago, so their charge went so smoothly.It was the first time for the members of the Ao Gang to participate in a formal battle. This battle required almost no brains. They just charged with their horses and chopped down anyone they saw.The fog flooded the entire battlefield, and they didn't know how many people they had killed, or how cruel the battlefield was, but they only knew that Zong Xin was finally willing to let them go to the battlefield.

For the first battle, the Aobang performed too well and put no psychological pressure on the soldiers. They did not know how many people they had killed. Such a situation would also greatly improve their own psychological quality.They had killed people, but they did not have negative feelings from killing people. This was the most important thing Zong Xin taught them during their first training.

"The widow has been on the battlefield for decades, and there has never been such a big victory. Ten thousand against fifty thousand, they have been killed without leaving any of them. No one will believe it." Guo Wei was very happy, and hosted a banquet for Zong Xin and Ao Gang several leaders.

"It's good if your Majesty believes it." Zhao Pu said: "It's a good fortune for the little people to solve their worries with His Majesty, and their ancestors have accumulated virtue. The whole Ao Gang is willing to do their best for Mingjun, and will not hesitate."

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu with contempt. This grandson started flattering Guo Wei the first time they met. Although they knew that Zhao Pu had such a personality, he looked really cheap like this.Everyone's hobbies are different. Zhao Pu's hobby is flattering. In fact, he may not even notice it, but every time Zhao Pu sees a slightly stronger person, he will flatter him. When others are comfortable, Zhao Pu himself Cool.

Zhao Pu was originally a very smooth person, he wanted to keep climbing, and the small Ao Gang couldn't satisfy his pursuit at all.So Zhao Pu was cheeky and waited for Zong Xin for three years before he got the opportunity to establish the Salt Island. Now that the Ao Gang has come forward, Zhao Pu is very excited about it.

As the leader of the Ao Gang, what Zhao Pu desires most now is to expand the Ao Gang again. The best thing is to get an official position from Guo Wei, so that the Ao Gang can become an official army and can fight for Guo Wei.Only by making military exploits on the battlefield can one have greater success.

So when Zhao Pu saw Guo Wei flattering, one was habit and the other was ambition.But it is obvious that Guo Wei doesn't like this. Guo Wei's feeling for a person is to see what he does, not what he says.Flattering is almost useless against Guo Wei.
