Chapter 583: A Precedent in the History of the Great Song Dynasty
Gao Xintai's mentality has changed, and nearly an hour of bombardment has made Gao Xintai see the end of the world, which is not the result he wants, and the change of people is often a small moment or a thought.
The Dali army, which had been holding out in the city for half a month, went out of the city gate to fight with the Northwest Army for the first time, and it was originally their best choice to hold on, they could drag it on in this way, but it was different when they went out of the city.
Xia Zhu couldn't figure out why Gao Zhikai wanted to go out of the city, the only way for them to defeat Lu Zifei was to hold on, didn't you come out like this to represent a chance for the Northwest Army?
The literati of the Great Song Dynasty, if you let him go into battle to kill the enemy, it is a crime, but you let them be a bystander and analyze things for you, and they can tell you that the sky is dark, and the head of the story is the Tao.
Lu Zifei did not interfere with any decision of the combat generals, whether he won or lost, he did not show satisfaction or dissatisfaction, he handed over all the decisions to the people on the battlefield.
Di Qing is the most nervous of these people, if there is a mistake in these decisions, it will become a stain on his life, so he seems so cautious, he didn't pay attention to the people brought out by Gao Xintai, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Go and call General Cao over, hurry up."
Cao Feng was overjoyed when he came over, with smiles on his face, and said when he met: "General, the opportunity has come, as long as they go out of the city, it will prove that they can't help it, are we giving them a head-on blow." ”
Di Qing said: "No, you are wrong, it's not enough, this time they are just tempting, we have to let them all come out of the city, and now this level is not enough." ”
Cao Feng opened his mouth wide and said: "It's not the right time, I'm afraid that after they come out and see our combat strength, what if they don't come out again, the casualties exceed their estimates, I think they will still change back to their original way." ”
"Don't fight them head-on, continue to suppress them with powerful long-range weapons, and when they can't bear it anymore, then I think they will inevitably be pressed by a large army and fight us to the death, then is the best chance."
This is the difference between a general and a marshal, a general will only think about his own affairs and the army's operations, while the commander has to take care of the overall situation, consider it holistically, it is the overall layout, Cao Feng knows where his shortcomings are.
"Yes, my subordinates understand, then I'll go to the front to command first."
Gao Xintai didn't think about going back when he came out, at this moment Gao Zhikai on the city wall was impressed by this son for the first time, the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached, the cultivation of the next generation of kings is not difficult, and blocking the Song army this time is the real big thing.
"Be ready to support Xintai at any time, and at the same time prevent the Song army from sneaking up."
Someone asked: "What if the Song army follows, the Song army rushes into the city and the threat is too great." ”
Gao Zhikai said: "The kind of thing you said really happened, focusing on the overall situation. ”
In this way, everyone understands that Gao Zhikai is not ambiguous in the face of right and wrong, which is why he was able to take away the power when the Duan family was still prosperous, and to get to this day, Gao Zhikai's advantages cannot be ignored.
The scene of the handover of short troops did not appear, and the five thousand Dali soldiers were forced to retreat before they could get close to the large siege equipment of the Song army, and the cavalry did not launch a charge and were inferior to the infantry, and many soldiers were trampled to death by themselves.
The belligerent factor in Yang Huaiyu's blood was completely activated, maybe it was the genes of the Yang family, if it wasn't for the deputy general pulling on the side, he would probably ride his horse and rush up to fight.
"General, how many people can you kill when you rush up, have you forgotten the military regulations?"
Yang Huaiyu wants to shoot his lieutenant away, don't you know how difficult it is to have such an opportunity? He may not be able to meet him once in his life, but the deputy general's words also reminded him, and he just turned around and saw Cao Feng with eyes like knives.
"Let go of him, I'll see what he still wants to do, let him go up and be trampled into pulp."
Yang Huaiyu put down the spear in his hand and said with a smile: "General, don't be like this, I'm just joking, joking." ”
Cao Feng sneered: "You haven't forgotten to call me 'General', I thought you were invincible in the world?" This time it's our turn to hold on, and the general's order is to continue to attack with long-range weapons, and for the time being, we can't let them see our reality and reality. ”
Yang Huaiyu and Shi Xiang were a little sullen, they didn't expect Cao Feng to give them such a lost message, make meritorious contributions, and stick to it There is still a chance to fart.
"Let's go and get ready! I hope you will not forget your identity, military law is greater than heaven, and you will bear your own mistakes if you make them. ”
This is a naked warning, and the subconscious meaning is that any of you who has violated military law don't want me to miss the old feelings, Yang Huaiyu knew that his behavior had angered Cao Feng.
Parallel strikes are simpler for soldiers who control large equipment, as long as the consumption can keep up, they can always give the enemy a fatal blow, Gao Xintai's attack can be said to have not even touched the enemy, which made him even more afraid in his heart.
For four or five days in a row, the two sides were in a stalemate, charging while not sending out a single soldier, and in the afternoon, the two sides had a tacit understanding to collect corpses, arrows and the like, and they all knew that this was not a personal grudge, but a conflict between countries.
Di Qing is very patient, the Northwest Army and the Dali soldiers are a little impatient, which can be seen from the degree of attack, Lu Zifei is the same as Lafayette, and he is still in the mood to observe whether there is a shadow of the future here.
"Why, someone can't hold their breath, didn't I give you carte blanche to dispose of it?"
Di Qing thought to himself that Zhang Qi and Cao Feng are both your cronies, and you seem to have delegated power to me, but as long as you say a word, what is my order, and you are still pretending to be a big belly in front of me at this time.
"It's normal to be a little impetuous, most people still have no problems, they don't have to go to the battlefield to have combat exploits, which is more acceptable to them in their hearts."
Lu Zifei said: "This war is the first step for all of us, and it is also the best battlefield to verify the training results of the Northwest Army. ”
Di Qing still agrees with Lu Zifei's point of view, as the commander of the Northwest Army, Lu Zifei does better than anyone else in some negative aspects, his Bole is Fan Zhongyan, but Fan Zhongyan can't do Lu Zifei in terms of military power.
"I want to give the order for a general attack, does Lu Hou feel that now is the right time?"
Lu Zifei thought for a moment and said: "After waiting for a day or two, I also arranged an ambush in the city, but there has been no news, and they replied when they cleaned the battlefield yesterday." ”
Di Qing didn't expect Lu Zifei to have this hand, as an orthodox general, he has always looked down on this kind of small family means, today's war is not to kill one or two enemy generals to completely decide a war, the concept of war in his heart is 'war' and 'fight', both are indispensable.
"How far can they go" because he doesn't want these people to disrupt his overall layout of his strategy.
Lu Zifei said: "If you play well, you can decide the direction of the war." ”
That's amazing! Now the ratio of people is five to one, if you want to decide the direction of the war, then this force must not be underestimated, Di Qing can't think of anyone else in Dali City who can have such a force.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the traditional day of the Han family, the drums of the generals in Dali City sounded, and then the 100,000 troops came out of the four city gates one after another to gather into a river of people, and 100,000 people were put together really densely, and there was no end in sight.
When the hand-to-hand combat is engaged, the long-range weapon loses its proper role, flesh and blood fly, one after another military flags fall, and the low cheers of junior captains are everywhere, only this most critical moment can see the execution and cooperation of an army.
Lu Zifei, Xia Zhu, Fu Bi, Di Qing, the binoculars in their hands have never been taken down from Eye Mountain, until the soldiers of Dali were divided and strangled piece by piece, and several of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xia Zhu said: "We have won 60 percent, the basic victory has been laid, and if we work harder, we will have the immortal work." "I can't hide the envy in my eyes.
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Everyone knows the outcome of the war, it's just a matter of time, General Di, pay attention to the movement of the battlefield at any time, and end this war here today!" The soldiers were also homesick. ”
The battle has been decided, but the fighting has not stopped, Gao Zhikai is entangled in whether to continue to increase troops, the cooperation between the Song army is obviously countless times better than them, continue to add ingredients to this meat grinder, and the balance of victory will inevitably tilt.
"Father, it's all at this time, what is there to hesitate about."
Oh, yes! There is nothing wrong with what the son said, Dali is their last base, and they have nothing to be afraid of.
For his father's eyes, Gao Xintai already understood, another 50,000 people joined the battle, and the huge number still put a lot of pressure on the Northwest Army, and their physical strength was almost at a critical point in continuous combat.
At this time, the defense in Dali City was much empty, and an army of 1,000 people under the leadership of Duan Silian went straight to Gao Zhikai's camp, as for how they approached, only Duan Silian himself knew.
A group of staff officers and generals were stunned when they saw Duan Silian who suddenly appeared, this country is still surnamed Duan in name! They all set their sights on Gao Zhikai.
Gao Zhikai didn't expect it! The timing of Duan Silian's appearance was too perfect.
"Why did the emperor do this, Dali is our Dali people." It sounded tongue-twisting, but everyone present understood the meaning.
Duan Silian looked around and said: "There are too many dead people, if the first time those 100,000 people can defeat the Song army, I will not appear, Dali and I will also give it to you, now it is different, the Song army is consuming Dali's new force, can't you see their intentions as the commander?" ”
Gao Zhikai said: "Who doesn't know who killed the deer? Your Majesty, isn't this chilling the hearts of Dali people. ”
"There's no point in spending it, stop it!"
"No, we still have a chance, we will definitely be able to do what Li Yuanhao can do, Dali is where we have lived for generations."
Duan Silian saw that Gao Zhikai had not repented until this time, and directly ordered: "Take them down, Dali can't stand more bloodshed, I'm a sinner in Dali, let me end all this!" ”
