Chapter 293: The Battle Turns Around
Haobei's successive victories are naturally not interesting news for Hanqi! And Haobei has sued Xijie many times in succession, and now it should be stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Yancheng was attacked, Wencheng was captured, but when the troops were raised south to attack Yicheng, the army of Haobei actually encountered the most difficult killing battle since the army was raised to the south.
Yicheng is located in a strange place, there is a gorge mountain in front of the city, with this mountain gorge as a screen, Yicheng is solid. If you want to capture Yicheng, you must pass this dangerous gorge mountain, and now the Yicheng guards are stationed above the natural danger, and they attack from a high position, and the army of Haobei wants to seize the natural danger and attack the city.
Hardly possible.
The topography of Yicheng, before the attack, Xiao Chusu and Lu Zheng had already conducted field investigations, and they were both clear about the natural dangers of Yicheng. They knew early on that this battle would be a difficult battle for Haobei, but although they had expected it in their hearts, they never imagined that Yicheng, which is not big, would be so difficult to bite.
The war has lasted for half a month, and Yicheng is still impregnable, with no signs of being captured or occupied. Although with the fighting power of Haobei's army, it is not a matter of time to swallow Yicheng, but such a difficult war is a self-destructive thing that consumes the source of troops for Haobei. Because Yicheng could not be captured for a long time, seeing that the situation was gradually stalemate into a protracted battle, Xiao Chusu, who did not want to waste his troops in vain, immediately ordered.
The whole army retreated.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in the army of Haobei, there are many battles in the south, if you want to attack Kyoto directly and regain the throne, I don't know how many cities you have to plunder, if you consume too many soldiers' lives in a city, the longer the war lasts, the more unfavorable it is for the army of Haobei. Therefore, the city is by no means a city that can be taken in a short period of time, and Xiao Chusu does not want to continue to waste financial resources and troops on it. He simply ordered a temporary withdrawal, camped far away, rested and fed food first, and then looked for an opportunity to attack again.
The battle of Yicheng is temporarily suspended, and in the Haobei tent camp dozens of miles away from Yicheng, Xiao Chusu is going to the tent camp with the lieutenant general to discuss the current battle situation. The defenders of Yicheng relied on the danger of the gorge and the danger of the sky, and blindly attacked the army of Haobei, even if it was really captured afterwards, it was a matter of killing a thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred.
Therefore, how to win the greatest victory with the least sacrifice is something that Xiao Chusu and the generals need to consider now.
Looking at the map spread out on the desk, carefully reading and reviewing the natural danger mountain structure outside Yicheng, Xiao Chuxuan said: "The natural danger screen, the entire Yicheng is hidden behind this gorge mountain, as long as the defenders of Yicheng occupy the natural danger, for protection, if you want to capture it, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult." β
"But it's not easy." Xiao Chuxuan was behind in saying this, and Wei Chi continued: "The danger of this mountain gorge is indeed difficult to attack, and now the Yicheng garrison has already built sufficient fortifications, and it is located on the mountain gorge waiting for our army. If it is attacked, it will be hit hard, but if it is not forcibly taken, how can you take Yicheng hidden behind the mountain with the surrounding mountain terrain? β
As for Yicheng, after the natural danger, the strong attack is the next strategy, for the city that cannot be quickly won quickly, the generals are all troubled here, and among this annoyance, the most annoyed self-count Li Long. The first battle of this war was nearly a month, and the soldiers' food and grass were sharply reduced, and they were partial to the city of Yicheng, but they couldn't take it. For Li Long, who has a quick temper, this battle is called a nest of fire.
also listened to Wei Chi's frowning words, Li Long directly shouted at the top of his voice: "His grandmother's, this Yicheng is really a fucking evil sect, I have led the troops to fight so many battles, and I have never seen such an evil sect." No matter how you fight, how you can't attack it, those defenders of Yicheng, who hide on top with the danger of the mountains and gorges, just refuse to come down, this battle is really fucking hot. This stump mountain looks dangerous and makes me annoyed, forget it, the guards of Yicheng are all fucking angry, like evil, they are completely desperate with us, as long as they can hold Yicheng, even if they take their own lives to block, I see that those generals in Yicheng can do it. His grandmother's, do you think the guards of Yicheng are evil? β
Swore to live and die with the city, many guards are like this, but as crazy as Yicheng, Rao is Li Long has never seen it. Thinking of the desperate appearance of the Yicheng guard, Li Long not only had a fire in his stomach here, but also an indescribable cold.
This kind of cold feeling makes people think about it, and it is also the backwardness of this scolding words, and Wang Lu on the side said: "Yicheng guards are desperate? If General Li is faced with the same choice as them, I am afraid that General Li will work harder than this Yicheng defender. β
For the excessive desperate struggle of the Yicheng guard, Li Long is very difficult to understand, and after Wang Lu's words came out, Li Long couldn't solve it. At that moment, the whole person was interested, and he made up a few points towards Wang Lu, and Li Long asked.
"Wang Lu, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean, naturally it's what the emperor meant."
Li Long is a stunned Erqing, if the words are not explained, it will be difficult for him to understand there, so seeing Li Long's frowning and not understanding, worried that this stunned Erqing is muttering in his voice there again, Wei Chi directly grabbed in front of him and explained.
"According to the spies, the wife and children of the generals who defend the city are now all in Kyoto."
In one sentence, it was enough to understand, and after a little flurging, Li Long directly shouted: "Damn, what do you mean that your wife and children are all in Kyoto, isn't this a threat to the lives of the family?" β
The family is all in Kyoto, if the Yicheng generals don't work hard, then the wives and children in Kyoto are afraid that they should die. I couldn't understand why the generals of Yicheng worked so hard to get to this point, but now it seems that he can't help himself.
Such a body couldn't help himself, which made people feel chilled after hearing it, and his complexion changed directly, and Li Long began to curse and mumble. Li Long is a lover of temperament, and he will never look down on Han Qi's approach, but others don't have time to waste energy on these things like him.
Therefore, although Li Long was still scolding, the generals on the side had already misthought and continued to discuss how to capture Yicheng.
Yicheng is dangerous, it is already difficult to attack, and the Yicheng general's wife and children are all in Kyoto, so they are even more desperate. A general who can not even live with his life, and then with the natural danger of the gorge mountain.
If you want to conquer it, it is even more difficult.
There are many things in the world, some easy and some difficult, and the road to power is not as easy to conquer as before. Yicheng, if you want to attack, you can't take it by leading your troops, so if you want to plunder, you have to use some methods that ordinary people can't think of.
There was Li Long's muttering in his ears, and his thoughts were all on Yicheng, which was the condensation of some thought. Xiao Chuxuan, who had rarely spoken since he entered the tent camp, suddenly raised his eyes at this time, stared at Lu Zheng opposite, and said: "This natural danger is the life talisman of the Yicheng guards, and it is also the biggest obstacle for our Haobei army. General LΓΌ, you have been fighting on the battlefield with the hussar general for many years, and General LΓΌ has a clever plan for the following situation. β
The sudden roll call inquiry made Lu Zheng station, and his eyes were slightly raised to Xiao Chu's eyes, which was a moment of shallow stationing, and Lu Zheng paid attention to the map and said: "Relying on natural danger and defending as an attack, such a tactic has been encountered a few times by the general, but most of these times are our army taking advantage of the terrain to carry out potential pressure, and relying on natural danger to make the enemy retreat in embarrassment." It's the first time that people have been pressed and beaten like this. β
"Attacking the enemy by taking advantage of the danger, the army of Haobei was the one who borrowed the danger before?"
"Most of them were, only once did they turn against the situation, but although the situation was against the situation, and the other party took advantage of the danger, there were natural mountain trails on both sides of the mountain at that time, and there were many places to climb with strength. Therefore, although we asked people to occupy the terrain first, our army still sent a sharp army, which made a roundabout way from the back of the mountain, and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to secretly take the life of the general. But this time......"
After a short pause at this point, it was also a shallow pause at this moment, and Lu Zheng continued: "But this time the natural danger of Xiashan is different from the previous time, there is no secret path in the mountain, and the sides are unclimbable, even if you want to secretly send troops into Yicheng to kill and suppress the generals defending the city, it is obviously not feasible." β
There is such a thing as natural danger, who gets the first opportunity, and now the Yicheng defenders have the help of natural danger, and it is not easy for Haobei to attack. Thinking about how to attack secretly and avoid the open attack of the Yicheng defenders is the best way at the moment. It's just that although the method is clear, it is obviously not easy to implement it.
As long as it is a natural danger, there is always a secret path hidden in the mountain, but the two gorges outside the city are like a ghostly axe, not to mention the secret path hidden in the mountain, that is, there are two sides of the mountain wall that is directly cut down like a knife and axe, and there is no way to find half a way to climb with strength.
The entire natural danger outside Yicheng is a sky screen that cannot be broken, and Yicheng is well protected in it, and no one can take it.
If it is a natural danger next to it, Lu Zheng has a lot of useful tricks here, but if it is the two gorges outside Yicheng. Even if he has a war strategy in his heart, this time he can only lock his eyebrows and purse his lips, and he can't find a way to plunder the city.
The defenders of Yicheng took advantage of the natural danger, and it was already extremely difficult to attack it, not to mention that the defenders this time were obviously different from the defenders in the city that were captured before. The morale of the army is high, and they swear to live and die with Yicheng, so they want to plunder.
It's even harder.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy to capture Yicheng. There was already a lot of thinking in the tent, but he still couldn't think of a feasible way, so Xiao Chu asked if he had a good way to deal with it, and Lu Zheng frowned.
Clever strategy, as follows, Lu Zheng can't think of a feasible strategy, and other generals are the same. After thinking about it, he was helpless, and he was worried in his heart, and after a little quiet, Lu Zheng looked at Xiao Chushu and said.
"The best way to deal with it is to be dull and stupid, and I haven't thought of a feasible way yet. I don't know where Xiao Junshi is, but I have the right thoughts. β
If it is said that they are capable of leading troops to fight and fight on the battlefield, they are capable, but if you want to say that the cunning under these war thoughts, Xiao Chusu's strategic tactics can always be unexpected. Who could have imagined a way that could not have been imagined. Even if you don't even think about it, how can you be careful to defend and think about how to deal with it.
They don't have the right law for the time being, but Xiao Chushu is there.
But it is possible that the opposite thoughts have been born.
At the moment, he no longer bothered to think about it, but looked at Xiao Chuxuan and asked bluntly. And this straightforward inquiry, after the question, Xiao Chu chuckled lightly and said quietly.
"How to deal with it? Although I don't dare to be conceited and call it a clever strategy, but it's a thief! It was really as General Lu guessed, but there was a plan. β
