Chapter 238: Checking the Pulse
If you don't talk about wine, you can't tell you all about sorrow.
Chang Yu and Zhu Xianxuan sang about wine in the Jin Palace, but outside the city was another hell on earth.
In the afternoon, Chang Yu could not plot, but narrowly lost a general, and then a water test battle was also withdrawn without half a step, and the thief army suffered setbacks one after another, and it was strange that the morale was not low but reached the highest peak in history.
Because Li Zicheng is more inspiring and demagogic than Chang Yu, don't forget that he started by demagoguery, and Chang Yu has to call him the ancestor master, and his Taoism is bottomless.
"The officers and soldiers are ruthless and inhumane, and the heads of those brothers are the best evidence, even if you don't kill the enemy to avenge your brothers, you will die in the hands of the officers and soldiers, in short, you won't have a chance to live if you don't kill all the officers and soldiers! Escaping is death, being captured is death, and the only way to survive is to kill them all......"
"When the city of Taiyuan was broken, Yun'er waited for three days to live happily, did not accept the public in his private pockets, and did not correct violations of discipline......"
Although there were not many words, the words were heartfelt, and the morale of the thief army was greatly boosted, and the thieves immediately deployed troops to attack the trench position on a large scale.
Seeing that Li Zicheng threw a big spend, about 20,000 men and horses attacked the position in the first wave, of course, many of them were refugees who acted as cannon fodder and laborers, filling in trenches under the cover of the thief army.
Zhou Yuji immediately decided to let Wang Yongkui's whole army advance to snipe the thief army at the front of the trench position, and when the battle began, the sound of killing rushed to the sky, and the sky and the earth changed.
When half a pillar was not fragrant, Li Zicheng mobilized two groups of men and horses to attack on the east and west flanks, in an attempt to take the trench position outside the city in one fell swoop.
In an emergency, the officers and soldiers outside the city were a little stretched, so the deputy commander-in-chief should lead the troops out of the city to support.
Nearly 60,000 horses fought in the trench outside the moat in the south of the city, and there were few people in the dark night, and they heard the shouting and screaming like a ghost.
At the halfway point (about ten o'clock in the evening), the sound of killing outside the city gradually subsided, and Zhu Xianxuan in the palace of the King of Jin was drunk and ambushed, Chang Yu's eyes were red, he staggered up, pushed open the door, the cold wind blew, and his spirit was shocked, and he turned his head to look at the person in the room and smiled coldly: "I threw my head for your family, spilled blood, and teased your sister and chirped crookedly, I was really stingy."
Hearing this, a member of the royal family waiting at the door couldn't help but look up at Chang Yu, but saw that this master had already strode away laughing.
"My lord, you drank too much" Tu Yuan and Tie Zhu ran out of the side room to support Chang Yu: "Humble and carry you."
"It's okay" Chang Yu pushed Tu Yuan away: "Go to the city, watch the scenery."
In the city, Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode and other dozens of civil and military officers gathered together, and their faces were heavy and they were discussing something.
With such a large-scale attack on the defensive line, they naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, let alone run around like Chang Yu, while drinking, braving the cold wind, staring at the battle situation without leaving a step.
"Has the thief retreated?" Chang Yu staggered and walked over with a wine burp, and everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and when they saw his virtue, they couldn't help frowning.
"It has retreated, but the defense line has been broken for at least two miles"
Zhou Yuji said in a deep voice: "The thief army has invested at least 30,000 or 40,000 horses and officers and soldiers in bloody trenches, and has been fighting for an hour several times."
With a large amount of investment, the income is also very considerable, and more than half of the trench array with a depth of more than five miles was captured by the thief army, and the thief army was only more than two miles away from the moat at this time.
Chang Yu sighed, approached the battlement probe and looked into the distance, the sparks outside the moat were lit, it was an array of officers and soldiers, and there were fires rising in two places, and the thieves were close in front of him.
"Relying on the trench can still make people advance two miles, Mr. Zhou, you are responsible" Chang Yu's tone was light, but everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Why?
The reason is very simple, Chang Yu has the identity of the overseer, just imagine that a eunuch who can accuse and even convict the chief general at will, not to mention that he has the identity of the commander of the East Factory in addition to the overseer, does he have to ask for guilt at this time?
Zhou Yuji's expression was very calm, he knew that Chang Yu was a person, and he said this just to understand the battle situation just now.
"The thief army is as powerful as us, but it has the help of the homeless people, that is, the cannon fodder that the factory said, it is really ...... It's miserable," Zhou Yuji gritted his teeth and shook his head with a wry smile.
The homeless people as cannon fodder do give the officers and soldiers a headache, a swarm of bees to use it, if you don't kill him, you can break up your position in a blink of an eye, kill it, but it is to help the thief army attract firepower and consume the munitions.
Therefore, even if the officers and soldiers sent a large number of troops to refuse, the thief army relied on the displaced people to open the way, the main attack in the middle, and the flanks on the east and west flanks, and stubbornly advanced more than two miles from the front.
"There are also refugees in our city, why don't we also pull them out and hedge against them," a general beside Zhou Yuji suddenly roared angrily.
Chang Yu looked sideways, and he was a swarthy man who was angry.
"Ignorance!" Zhao Jianji angrily reprimanded: "How can officers and soldiers follow such a cruel act of killing innocent people, how can they be different from thieves?" Besides, if you really drove the refugees to open the way, those refugees would immediately turn around and fight back, and then stealing chickens would not be able to ...... rice."
"Lord Zhao is reasonable, there is no need to mention this" Chang Yu knew that he was telling the truth, but Yiwenchen angrily reprimanded the generals in front of him, and he was unhappy! So it was interrupted.
"Our family is still the same sentence, I have never thought of blocking the enemy with a few trenches, but I will never let it jump over easily, does General Zhou understand what our family means?"
Zhou Yuji nodded, no one in Taiyuan City had more in touch with Chang Yu than him, but then he said: "I'm afraid that the thieves will take advantage of the night to send troops to besiege other gates and contain my current strength."
Chang Yu looked at the dark night in the south and was silent for a while, and shook his head lightly: "He is angry with me, he is going to fight hard in person, at least tonight he has this idea."
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed and yelled towards the south: "Huang Lai'er is angry with you, you are going to sleep!" ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went straight to the city tower to sleep.
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't know what Chang Yu said.
Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Pass the order, pour half the city's troops, and attack the thief!" ”
Everyone was shocked.
Zhou Yuji was confident, and successively ordered the mobilization of troops in the city, took the initiative to attack the thief army, and vowed to recapture the lost position.
All he was worried about was that the thieves would take advantage of the night to surround the other city gates, which would definitely restrain him and make him unable to let go of his hands and feet to snipe the enemy head-on.
But Chang Yu reassured him in just one sentence and decided to give it a go.
As for why he believes in Chang Yu so much, it is because of the trust that they have accumulated in the little eunuch in front of them during this period of time and the fact that they have been overwhelmed by his talent.
can fight and calculate and be good at figuring out people's hearts, of course, it is extremely treacherous.
Li Zicheng is indeed fighting with Chang Yu, from the previous Zhou Yuji sent reinforcements to rescue Chang Yu three times and five times, it shows that the identity of this little eunuch is definitely not simple, definitely not just a prison army, and then recall his previous performance, the lurking camp assassinated Li Laiheng, killed Zhang Lanran before the battle, Xiong Tong, Chen Shangzhi (Xiong, Chen and the two did not die) and bravely fought his subordinates during the deception and negotiation of peace, this person's status and ability suddenly surfaced, although he did not know the details, but he was by no means an ordinary person, and he was the black hand behind the scenes of Taiyuan City at this time.
This is a fierce opponent, Wu Neng abuses his subordinates, Ji Neng even Niu Venus, Li Yan and others are playing like children, it is really terrifying!
However, as a hero, Li Zicheng, since he has been arrogant again, debuted for more than ten years, which of the Ming Dynasty can minister military generals, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, etc., which is not a bullish existence, which has not been discussed, and now these cattle have long been dead, but his old Li is still alive, and the more he lives, the more moisturized, the business is getting bigger and bigger, just registered the company, and now he is ready to go public.
But a little eunuch appeared in the middle of the way and repeatedly provoked and teased him, and the ignorant were really fearless, but it really aroused his pride.
The strength of the heroes can be seen in their bravery, and a series of fraudulent surrenders are arranged for the Taiyuan fortifications, and one ring after another, which shows the depth of their scheming.
However, Li Zicheng firmly believes that in the face of absolute strength, any trick is vulnerable.
In order to dig a few ditches, you have worked hard, manpower, and material resources can stop me! Let's let you see how I swaggered to level these trenches, hit the city and capture Taiyuan, and let you know that these are just small roads!
So he rejected the advice of Song Xiance and others, and took advantage of the night to divide his troops to besiege the city.
First, there is no real point in besieging the city tonight, because even if there are no moats outside the other city gates, there is a moat that is more than ten meters wide, and the siege equipment is not in place, and the army has the conditions for a direct siege between the first and hasty times.
Second, he needed to concentrate his forces and open the southern gate to Taiyuan City to boost morale.
Of course, after opening the passage of the south gate, of course he will divide his troops to besiege the city to contain the officers and soldiers and attack the city in one fell swoop, but at this moment, he has a breath in his heart, and Lao Tzu will fight you from the front to show you!
Unbeknownst to him, Chang Yu once again held his pulse.
