Collision (4 times)
Jiankang Mansion is a historical city, surrounded by three mountains and one river, and the terrain is very dangerous. After several generations of wars, the defensive structure is designed very reasonably. The whole city is divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city, and there are defensive fortresses in the dangerous areas between the inner and outer cities, each fortress is built of bricks and stones, which can garrison nearly 1,000 soldiers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When the Northern Yuan Dynasty first crossed the river, in order to prevent the local people from rebelling, the outer city and all the fortresses were demolished. However, since the last time Du Hu and Zhang Tang swept through Liangzhejiang like a whirlwind, in order to prevent Liangjiang from suffering the same fate, at the request of local officials, Kublai Khan ordered the rebuilding of Jiankang City.
After Chen Hangyan sent people to contact Du Hu, he immediately convened the main generals of all walks of life to discuss the situation and formulate a siege plan. The time for this blitzkrieg attack on Jiankang was too short, and in order to speed up the march, Chen's men and horses threw more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces to the rebels. With the action of Chen Hangyan's headquarters, there were only a few dozen horse-drawn light cannons and tiger squat small cannons. These guns with a short range and designed mainly for the purpose of killing and injuring enemy combatants obviously could not blow up the Jiankang city wall, and the southward movement of the Boyan army was a matter of day and night, in order to save siege time, the task of blowing up the city wall fell to the head of the sailor, but the waterway of Xuanwu Lake on the north side was too shallow and narrow, and the navy division could not enter at all. When Wang Xiushi rebuilt the city wall to appease Jiangnan East Road, he also deliberately retreated the position of the north city wall to the south for one and a half miles. In this way, the fire from the surface of the river will not work.
"Can you go to the west gate, there is Qinhuai Water over there, and there is a Mochou Lake, send a smaller boat to lean over, maybe you can blast the city gate open!" Li Caiyou, the leader of the rebel army, stepped forward and suggested. In the past few days, his vegetable oil army has relied on Du Hu's support to attack the city and plunder the land, and he has been addicted to winning the battle. Therefore, the whole army also relied very much on the strength of naval artillery, believing that as long as the naval division and battleships could rush forward, there was no reason why they could not win.
"I'm afraid not, Qin Huaishui has no problem holding up the warship, but the water near the West Gate is full of reeds, and there are many hidden shoals. It's the height of summer, and the reeds are as tall as a man. If someone ambushes or set fire to the reeds, it will be difficult for the battleship to retreat. Besides, since Wang Xiushi decided to hold on to the city, he would not be there anymore! The leopard stood up and retorted loudly. He and Guo Jianglong both ate water rice, and they were very familiar with the fighting style of inland river warfare. The wider the water, the more powerful it is. On the contrary, narrow waters are a deadly trap for warships. There are many places where it is easy to get in, but not necessarily to get out.
"Then what do you say, a strong attack will definitely not work. Jiankang City is so high, how many lives do you have to take to cushion it? Li Caiyou muttered unwillingly. Except for following Du Hu this time, his team has not fought any hard battles, so he is afraid that he will be forced to be the vanguard of the captives when he attacks hard. According to rumors, most of the heroes who took refuge in the Northern Yuan Dynasty died in this way.
"There are not many soldiers and horses in the defenders, even if we can't blow up the city wall and hit it directly, we can gnaw this bone hard. We can't rely on artillery in a tough battle, we need to fight more places in the future, and if we don't rely on rivers and rivers, won't we touch them! Chen Shuang has a good relationship with Langli Leopard, and when he saw Li Caiyou's words dodging, he was a little unhappy and said loudly.
"But we don't have many people, if we can defeat the enemy with firepower, there is no need to force it!" Fang Sheng disagreed with Chen Shuang's opinion.
For a time, the generals expressed their opinions. Some advocated a forcible attack, while others advocated first cleaning up the connecting waterways between the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River, and then bombing the city with the help of naval artillery fire. There are also generals of the People's Army who don't know that the military situation is urgent on Chen Hangyan's side, so they suggest that Chen and Du simply besiege the city to send reinforcements, trap Wang Xiushi, and then use Jiankang as a bait to eat the Northern Yuan soldiers and horses who came to relieve the siege one by one.
Chen Hangyan listened for a while, unwilling to delay any longer. Tapped the table with his knuckles, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then he called the vegetable oil Li and asked: "How many people are there under your command now, not counting the old and weak women and children, just counting the men who went into battle to kill the enemy?" Also, are your team familiar with the people around you? ”
"There are five thousand, no, about three thousand who can fight. In recent days, many more prisoners have been recruited, and the number of people has not been carefully counted. Add all the recruits, and it is estimated that there will be 4,000 hanging zero. If you want to talk about the relationship with the people around you, it is Ed (who is very familiar), and they are all local villagers. I've never robbed them, I robbed the things of the tartars, and I didn't give everyone a lot of dirt! Li Caiyou saw that the coach was the first to ask himself, and he felt glorious on his face, and replied with his chest straight.
He is a local, and his family has been selling vegetable oil in Moling Town for a living for generations, so he got the nickname of Li Vegetable Oil. After the Northern Yuan Dynasty first set the world, there were many checkpoints, and there were many tax items. The oil sellers were forced to live by the tax collectors, so they had to pull the flag and rebel. The leaders of his team are mainly young men and craftsmen, with a good face and a good heart. Although its combat effectiveness is a little worse, its reputation among the people is quite good.
"If enough money is given to you, let you recruit local people. Can you clean up the Qinhuai River waterway in three days? Chen Hangyan nodded and asked again.
"No problem, no money. Do you still need money to kill Tartars? Just take care of the rice! However, you have to send me a few musketeers to cover me, and I'm afraid that the guys in the city will sneak up and bad the boss's strategy! Li Caiyou replied very realistically, his eyes full of longing.
"You'll have a decision, no problem!" Chen Hangyan stretched out his hand and gently gave Li Caiyou a slap around his neck, "Lao Tzu has been the king of the mountain for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been robbed." Okay, the musket battalion lends you. Agreed, you must pay me back after the battle. I'll give you two more battalion crossbowmen, and one battalion of Pu knifemen to cooperate. Within three days, you must clean up the waterways of the Qinhuai River. How much to spend, how many meters to use, just go to the logistics staff to get it! ”
"Xie Dashuai!" Li Caiyou took over the order, the leopard rolled his eyelids in the surf, and in the summer, his heart was as comfortable as drinking cold water.
Chen Hangyan arranged for relevant personnel to go down with Li Caiyou, and immediately began to cut reeds and dig rivers. Then he looked at Du Hu, and saw that the other party nodded lightly at him, knowing that the sailor had completely handed over the command of this battle to himself. He nodded gratefully, then called the staff officer in charge of intelligence gathering and asked, "How is the situation in the city, are you well prepared?" ”
"Marshal, according to the news sent by the eyeliner in the city arranged by the Enemy Intelligence Division, the city is very well guarded. Wang Xiushi is afraid of death, so he usually prepares a lot of rolling wood, thunder stones, iron rackets, 10,000 enemies, ballistas and the like. At present, the east and west sides of the city wall are the most tightly defended, they feel that the terrain in the north and south is complicated, and they decided that we should either take the east gate or the west waterway! ”
The expressions on the faces of the generals who came to discuss the matter became a little serious. When attacking the city, the most feared is the 10,000 enemies, this kind of firearm with the same principle as the grenade of the Broken Army, which is often filled with iron sand and poison, explodes, and a large wound is a large area. However, when attacking the city, the strength of the captives must be concentrated on a few breakthrough points, which is equivalent to driving the soldiers to send their lives up.
"What about the north gate, how about the south gate? How many soldiers are there in the city? Chen Hangyan continued to ask, asking about the deployment of the city, the composition of the Yuan army, and the morale one by one. The only thing is that the city's food, grass and weapons reserves are not asked.
The generals saw that the assault was a foregone conclusion. All that left was to choose between water and land, and they began to think about what to do to minimize the casualties of their own people. The soldiers of the Broken Army are all strong soldiers who have experienced many battles, and if one is killed, the strength will be weakened by one point. There will be many tough battles in the future, and no matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't be wasted.
"There are not many defenders in the north and south, about 2,000 people respectively. Especially at the north gate, there is a big moat called Xuanwu Lake, and those surnamed Wang are very relieved. Moreover, after breaking through the north gate, there is still a big fortress of the Hidden Golden Pavilion in the way, and it is difficult to attack the inner city! The staff officer took out a hastily drawn sketch and introduced it in great detail, "There are about 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. But Wang Xiushi, the old thief, deceived the soldiers and said, as long as we enter the city, anyone who has served the Tartars too well will be beheaded all over the house. Therefore, the soldiers were very afraid, and many local big families were also scared to pay for the people surnamed Wang to defend the city! ”
"His grandmother's is not effective in fighting, but she is good at spreading rumors!" Chen scolded with hanging eyes, and looked at Du Hu again. He and Du Hu have not very good reputations, one is a bandit head and is like a hemp. The other is a well-known black hand, such a combination, no wonder others slander it.
After smiling and scolding a few words, Chen Hangyan greeted several young generals who had graduated from the command academy and ordered, "A few of you go and arrange some manpower, write some simple and straightforward words, and tell the people not to be fooled." The whiter the better, and others can't understand it. Put the ballista we captured last time to use, tie the written things to the crossbow arrows and shoot them into the city. Shoot as much as you want! ”
Several young generals took the order, and at the Shaowu Command Academy, how to propagate and encourage the people was once trained as a separate subject, so they carried it out with ease.
After arranging the work of refuting the rumors of the enemy army, Chen looked at Du Hu with hanging eyes and said with a smile: "General Du, the virtual game is over, and then it's up to you and me." As he spoke, he pointed to the map that the staff officer had just placed on the table, "When Li Caiyou dug up the Qinhuai water, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold." I arranged it this way to deceive the defenders. The real kung fu has to be on the Xuanwu Lake, this body of water is large, although the entrance is shallow and narrow, and there are no warships. But we living people can't let urine suffocate to death. Didn't you recruit a lot of small boats, and if each ship was equipped with a naval gun, it is estimated that dozens of them could be placed on this lake......"
"What's more, I once estimated that there are 200 small boats lined up outside the North City. If you're going to attack the city from here, I'll arrange for someone to hoist the cannon from the battleship right away! Without waiting for Chen to finish speaking, Du Hu answered first. The reason why he didn't speak just now was to a large extent because he wanted to test Chen Hangyan's ability. This time, Wen Tianxiang asked him to cooperate with Chen Hangyan, which more or less hurt the face of the Governor of the Water Division. But seeing Chen Hang's eyes combining reality and reality, and his thinking was active, the dissatisfaction in Du Hu's heart gradually disappeared.
"Don't worry, you prepare secretly, tomorrow day, don't let the defenders see it. Early the day after tomorrow, I plan to arrange this way, and the sailors will drive the small gunboats under the north city wall and fire at the same time. Lu Shi exercised two marks overnight, and then prepared some gunpowder carts, ladders, etc. I asked the two of them to take the lead in attacking, and the one surnamed Wang was caught off guard! ”
"Brilliant plan!" Du Hu praised loudly, deeply admiring Chen Hangyan for making such an ingenious arrangement in such a short period of time.
Chen Hangyan waved his hand and said modestly: "What a clever plan, if we have time, your Lao Du will definitely play better than me." But let's hurry up and seize this battleground before Boyan. It's a bit too much to let General Du give me a hand this time. Next time Lao Chen listens to you, I'll follow wherever you point! ”
"How do you and I divide each other! I'm going to get ready, and I'm sure I'll flatten the walls for you!" Du Hu laughed, arrogant.
"Don't destroy it all, Lord Wang didn't spend much money to build the city. A few fewer openings, just enough to get in. In the future, we can still use it to prevent tartars! Chen Hangyan also laughed, and held hands with Du Hu.
The two complemented each other, agreeing on some details of the siege and the capture of the inner city after the city was broken. The tasks of the mid-level generals were arranged, and then dispersed. Before leaving, Chen Hangyan called the engineer battalion to Zhang Chu, and ordered: "You go and arrange some manpower to build a high platform for me outside the east gate, like a sacrifice to the sky, and the same height as the city wall." Construction began overnight and must be completed early the day after tomorrow. Be big, with at least 20 people standing on it! (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)
"Yes!" Zhang Chu took the order. Other generals also went down to prepare. Staff officer Zeng Qin was at the end, looked at Chen Hang's eyes, and asked puzzledly: "General, what are you doing on a high platform?" ”
"Don't leak it!" Chen Hangyan replied mysteriously, seeing that the left and right were almost gone, he changed the topic and asked in a low voice: "Strategist, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?" ”
"Very good, if the prime minister is here, he will definitely be very pleased!" Zeng Qin saw that there was almost no one around, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice.
A few of the guards and staff officers who were dragging behind looked at each other, smiled, and quietly dispersed. Zeng Qin disguised herself as a man and entered the barracks, although it violated the etiquette law. But over the years, Zeng Qin's credit is in the open. So after discovering that she was her daughter, not only was everyone not dissatisfied with this, but tacitly concealed it for her, and at the same time, they all hoped that she could have a wishful home.
"It's not for the prime minister!" Chen Hangyan's words were slightly disappointed, pulled Zeng Qin's sleeve, and then asked: "In your opinion, have I grown much better than before?" ”
"Of course, you are now the governor of one side, and you are not the king of the mountain for a long time!" Zeng Qin's face was red, and her voice was as small as a mosquito.
"Then when I'm done fighting, I'll write a letter to my sister!" Chen Hangyan smiled, looked around and saw that there was no one else, and whispered to ask Zeng Qin's opinion. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)
"What does it matter to me that you write a letter to Mrs. Xu!" Zeng Qin threw off his sleeves in a panic and walked out with his head down.
"Of course, it's a matchmaker. He is my sister and the only parent in my family. It's like your brother is the head of your family! Chen Hangyan caught up and said desperately.
Zeng Qin's face was as red as an apple in an instant, he lowered his head, took a sip, and said: "Don't talk about these serious things, in front of the two armies, I am not afraid of violating military law, you say the media, what does it matter to my parents!" ”
"This is the most serious thing, Strategist, I know who you really are. You know my true thoughts. We are all people who have rolled in the pile of dead people, so why bother mother-in-law and mother with some words. After the battle of this city, the next battle is the toughest battle. If I don't let you know my thoughts, I will always carry a heart when I march and fight. If you finish talking about your heart, you don't agree, even if you die on the battlefield, .......! ”
"What are you talking about, who told you to die!" Zeng Qin turned around and covered Chen Hangyan's mouth tightly with his hand. I was angry and anxious, and tears couldn't help but fall from my eyes. "Who told you to die, you die, what will I do. The surname is Chen, if you really have three longs and two shorts, I will definitely not shed a tear for you......."
"Hehe, aren't you crying now!" Chen Hangyan stretched out his big hand and wiped away Zeng Qin's tears. "I'm not forcing you, in fact, marching and fighting, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. After laying Jiankang, I am ready to personally lead the troops to the north and fight to the death with the Tartars. If you don't make it clear, you'll be hanging on every day! ”
"Did you go in person and discuss it with General Li Xing?" Zeng Qin was taken aback, and then his heart softened, holding Chen Hangyan's hand, and asked with concern. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)
"General Lee is good at defense, not offensive. Besides, he is my deputy general after all, knowing the matter of nine deaths and life, let him go desperately, I will stay behind, and the soldiers of the Northern Expedition will not be convinced. Hit and run, rob and kidnap tickets, is my old job. There are many people in Boyan, and they may not be able to catch up with me! (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)
"I'll go with you!" Zeng Qin put down Chen Hangyan's hand and said decisively.
"No, I've thought about it, the cavalry is the main force in the north. Every day on horseback, men can't stand it, let alone you are a girl. Waiting for me in Jiankang City, once Boyan goes south, this is the gate of Liangzhejiang, I am the governor of Liangzhejiang, only my own woman takes care of the house, and the stomach is solid! Chen Hangyan smiled and said his own arrangement. Deep down, he also longed for this well-informed female military division to be able to give him advice at any time by his side, but it was too dangerous to use a partial division to pick up the tiger whiskers of Boyan's army of nearly 200,000 people, so after weighing it repeatedly, he hoped that Zeng Qin would stay.
How can this little careful thinking be hidden from the female staff officer who is as careful as a hair, Zeng Qin suddenly turned cold, dropped Chen Hangyan's hand, and said: "No, I am the commander of the staff, I must be with you, look at you, so that I can rest assured!" ”
Chen Hangyan stretched out his arms, pressed Zeng Qin's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said solemnly: "Good military advisor, you stay, so that I can rest assured to fight with people!" Listen to me. Fighting a war is a man's business, and if a man can't even protect his mother-in-law, what kind of man is he called! ”
Zeng Qin wanted to say something, but tears couldn't help but fall like pearls with broken threads, broke the thick hands on his shoulders, and his body softly threw himself into the solid embrace of the city wall in front of him.
"Don't cry, wait for me, I will definitely stir up the Tartar Jiangbei, and then come back on a high-headed horse to marry you!" Chen Hangyan hugged the delicate body in his arms, his whole heart was filled with instant happiness, and said proudly.
"I'll wait for you!" Zeng Qin's voice was as thin as a gnat, but in his heart, an oath slowly floated. "Wait for you, even if the Yangtze River is dry, Qixia Mountain will fall!"
