Chapter 655: Wind and Snow (7)
The periphery has been cleared, and then, naturally, the core of the Eastern Army on the east bank is the village, different from other small villages, the village is more like a city, there are more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in the Eastern Army, its combat effectiveness, naturally not those who can only station more than 100 people in the small village, Mo Yanlu looked at the village is several times larger than before, and when the much higher one is broadcast, he only feels that his head hurts again, damn the Eastern Army, can't he show the carriage and horses, and fight a battle with a knife and a gun?
Sweeping more than ten forts on the periphery, more than 1,000 people were killed under the command of Mo Yandu, and if you count the wounded and incapacitated, it is more than 2,000, which is already one-fifth of the soldiers and horses under his command.
If you want to lay down the capital broadcast village, how many sons do you have to fall here?
Li Yi died, and another Yan general named He Tianju, who came to take over Li Yi to assist Mo Yanlu in attacking the city, shook his head in embarrassment in the face of Mo Yandu's interrogation, "General Mo Yandu, the art of war is cloudy, five times to surround it, ten times to attack it, but even so, you have to pay a huge price, you have always besieged the city, if you are not willing to use water grinding kung fu to grind the opponent to death or if there is a problem within the opponent, there are always human lives to fill." Chen Bin, the general of the garrison of Dubo Village, I know, although he is just a general, but this person has real skills, if it is not for his humble background, there is no way to be promoted, it is also qualified to be the main general of the army, and the village guarded by such a person, the general you have no other way except to exchange your life with him. ”
Mo Yan said angrily: "If you need to exchange your life for your life, what else do I need you to do?" You just tell me directly, is there any way to reduce the losses of our army and exchange victory for the least cost? ”
"Nope!" He Tianju replied very briskly.
"If you need to storm the city by brute force, what good is it if you don't come?" Gu Jili snorted coldly.
"I'm here to minimize your casualties, General Gujili, if it's you, I'm in command. Maybe if you take the lives of all the soldiers here, you won't be able to capture Dubozhai, I'll come, or I only need to pay about three times the number of enemies to take Dubo. Zhou Tianju sneered: "This is where my value lies." ”
The bone was auspicious, but thinking about attacking the city, it was indeed not his strong point, and he was robbed of a few words by He Tianju, but he had nothing to say, and said with a red face: "Since General He knows this Chen Bin." Maybe you can go into the city to persuade this Chen Bin to surrender, this person has been a prisoner before, and he has also cooperated with our clan's Tuntian, and it seems that he is also a cooperative figure. ”
Zhou Tianju's face changed, "General Gu Jili, does this want me to die?" You have forgotten how Li Yi died, these people hate us more than you, if I go. The only chance to survive is to surrender to him immediately and then help him defend the city, otherwise. You'll see my head in the city. ”
"Alright, don't argue, you're colleagues, on the occasion of this great battle. We need to work together. Mo Yanlu stopped the cynicism of the two, "Wait a minute, the king has transferred 20,000 foot soldiers to General Yan Qi." When the time comes, we will also be able to divide a few thousand people here, attack the city, and let these people go first. I can't let the warriors on horseback climb the walls. "Thinking of the battle in the first few days, Mo Yanxuan involuntarily fought a cold war, more than 100 defenders, and fought out his 500 people, fortunately, the other villages are not as strong as that village, otherwise, if you don't wait to fight to the village, you will have to hang up the war-free card." General He, in the past few days, you have a good survey of this village, I remember that Li Yi only tried it once, and then found out the weakness of the village. ”
He Tianju smiled bitterly, "General Mo Yanlu, it's not that I'm disrespectful to General Li Yi, Dubozhai is different, not to mention that the size of the two villages can't be compared at all, the commanders of the two villages alone, in terms of experience, are very different, even if Dubozhai has weaknesses, it will be well covered, I don't even need to look at it, I know that there is the strongest firepower, the most fierce battle, and there is the door of Dubanzhai." Dubozhai is so big, they can effectively hide their weaknesses. ”
Despite that, Mo Yanlu still took Gu Jili, He Tianju and the others out of the camp and went to Dubo Village to watch the target they were about to attack.
"What are those that stand tall on the walls?" Pointing to the huge door panel-like things on the city wall, Mo Yanlu asked.
He Tianju only glanced at it, and then he knew the purpose of this thing, "General Mo Yandu, it is specially for dealing with the soldiers who are attacking the city with ants, you can think about it, when our soldiers set up the ladder and climb up, those door panels with spikes will shoot down, what kind of scene will it be?" ”
After making up the scene at that time, Mo Yanlu couldn't help but fight a cold war, "You Central Plains people, there are too many conspiracies and tricks, just work on these things, and never want to defeat us on the frontal battlefield." ”
He Tianju was silent and embarrassed. Is he a Yan person, no, he has betrayed Da Yan, is he a Donghu person, I'm afraid not, even Mo Yandu, who has always been respectful to him, just now he unconsciously said the word you, not to mention Gu Jili, who has always looked down on him.
"When the foot soldiers come, the foot soldiers are easy to train, so use them to grind these people to death!" Mo Yan scratched his head aggressively and said. "In the past few days, please ask General He to think of more ways!"
He Tianju stared at Dubanzhai, "In the past few days, I will ask General Mo Yandu to give you an order, let the soldiers under your command build some snow platforms around Duban, the height cannot be lower than Dubanzhai, and install a bed crossbow on it, which can shoot to the city wall, the more these snow platforms, the better." In addition, prepare more thicker and longer bamboos, General Li Yi's method still works, using these bamboos to catapult stones, which can not only destroy the opponent's ice wall, but also cause distress to the defenders. In addition, taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry, they carried bags of snow and began to pile up siege ramps, and if they could build several ramps, then the cavalry could ride along these ramps into the city. ”
"Building a ramp?" Mo Yanlu's eyes lit up, "This is a good way, but the enemy won't watch us do this, right?" ”
"Let the cavalry move first, slowly advance from a distance, and when the foot soldiers arrive, let them complete this final work, the closer to the city wall, the greater the danger, but as long as the ramp can be built, all the sacrifices are worth it, as soon as the ramp is close to the city wall, it will be the day when the walled city will be broken."
"Those foot soldiers are all slaves, untouchables, it doesn't matter how many people die, anyway, there are many, at most half a year, and a new batch of people can be trained." Gu Jili clapped his hands and smiled: "He Tianju, you are worthy of being Kumamoto's deputy general, and there are really many ways, after listening to your methods, I am very confident in quickly breaking through this capital broadcast village." ”
He Tianju looked back at the place where they had walked all the way, "Dubo Village will be breached sooner or later, it's just a matter of how many casualties, I'm just a little worried, Gao Yuan knows that his strength is weak on the east coast, but he still puts these villages waiting for us to attack, there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, this kind of tactic of sending people to death in vain, it's not like Gao Yuan will do?" ”
"Are you worried it's bait?" Mo Yanlu heard the meaning of He Tianju's words.
"Yes!" He Tianju nodded and said, "As far as I know, Gao Yuan has a cavalry of thousands of people under his command, and it is obvious that this cavalry, Gao Yuan will not be able to put them in the city as decorations. So, General Mo Yandu, you must send more sentry cavalry to make sure that this cavalry does not suddenly appear behind us. ”
"Don't worry! The cavalry who want to sneak attack our Donghu cavalry has not yet been born! Mo Yan laughed.
Of course, the cavalry under Gao Yuan will not be used in the city, when Mo Yanlu began to attack, under the personal command of He Lanyan, the two cavalry divisions of the first army and the second army, plus a total of about 5,000 cavalry of the red guards, left the scope of the battlefield far away, they are now five hundred miles away from the vanguard city, and they are still staying on the west bank. Now crossing the river, this cavalry can only become a sandwich pie, being caught between Yan Qi's army and the vanguard cavalry of Mo Yandu, and their role, Gao Yuan has another thought, in the early stage of the war, he does not plan to invest in this force.
This cavalry will play a decisive role in the final stage of the war.
But this does not mean that Gao Yuan is completely blind to Dubanzhai at this moment, and it is not a large-scale army to conquer the east, but several hundred-man squads.
Fu Xiao was lying in the snow pit, and the prisoner of war Dong Zhuang who signed up for this special brigade with him was huddled with him, because of the cooperation on the way from Hejian to Hetao, Dong Zhuang still gained the trust of the Eastern Army, and in this place, the Central Plains people basically have no way out except for relying on the Central Plains people, and this guy's body is really hot-eyed.
And Dong Zhuang, after getting the equipment of the special brigade, was also at a loss, in addition to a complete set of soft armor for internal protection, other gadgets such as short daggers, riding crossbows, hooks and ropes, etc., are not only exquisite, but also extremely powerful gadgets.
Dong Zhuang is very talented, after getting these things, it didn't take two days for them to play all the things well, which made Fu Xiao amazed.
Now they were lying in a puddle of snow, their cloaks, their hats, and their gloves, all white, lying on the ground, and it was hard to see the difference between them and a pile of snow unless they came to them.
In front of them was a large logistical battalion of the enemy.
"Isn't it good to burn a fire?" Dong Zhuang looked at Fu Xiao puzzled, "Why do you have to go to great lengths to get in, just to add some ingredients to their food?"
"You don't understand that!" Fu Xiao smiled sinisterly, "The general we led the team is called Niu Ben, this guy heard that he is from the Supervision Yuan, and the Yin people's skills are first-class, this thing, add it to the grain, whether he is a man or a horse, although eating it will not kill people, but diarrhea is indispensable, hehe, Dong Zhuang, have you ever seen hundreds of people have collective diarrhea?"
