At the head of the city, the wind is cold.

Chang Yu stood against the wall, looking south, his expression heavy and silent for a long time.

I don't know when Zhou Yuji came behind him and took a long breath: "Those are the tails that the factory said."

At this time, the 50,000 vanguard men and horses of this army were camped five miles under the city, and the people in the south were crowded in the distance, and the endless stream was endless, and there was no end in sight.

"This tail is too long" Chang Yu sighed, he knew that the main force of the thief army had come.

"It's time for a real showdown," Zhou Yuji said with a wry smile.

Chang Yu smiled faintly: "It's close"

Then he asked, "Is there still peace in the city?" ”

"The news is tightly blocked, and the people don't know that the thief army has come to the city at this time, and everything is as usual."

Zhou Yujidao.

Chang Yu nodded, followed the figure of the thief army exploring the horse outside the city, and casually beckoned the relatives around him and said: "Decree Yang Zhenwei, the thief army must not cross the east and west boundaries of the city, let alone the north of the city, once the border is crossed, send someone to intercept and kill!" ”

The pro-soldier led the order and left.

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "Let them see, although the fortifications in the west and north of the city are relatively weak, it is not easy for the thief army to bypass the south of the city."

"Not True"

Chang Yu shook his head and said: "This is a trick, how can the couch be arrogant, don't think that you can wander around at will outside the city, our family can lead him all the way to the city from Jiaocheng, and let him stay where he stays honestly."

Zhou Yuji was silent, looked at Chang Yu sideways, and was surprised in his heart, this little eunuch really couldn't see through, sometimes he looked dazed, sometimes he was full of confidence and arrogance, so he played a trick again, even if the thieves were in the city, he still didn't let him do whatever he wanted, he wanted to be hard, this is indeed a kind of psychological warfare!

Let others see a resolute heart, and let the thief army see a strong disobedience and disdain!

As it approached noon, the camp of the thieves was getting bigger and bigger, and the follow-up troops seemed to be endless.

Ma Chongxi and Ren Jirong in the handsome tent were busy, and Tanma sent the latest Taiyuan city defense report from time to time.

Each report shook the hearts of the two, and every subsequent thief general also frowned and sighed after hearing it, this time the officers and soldiers really came.

"Report, the old camp has arrived in Jinyuan City to set up camp, and the Lord is rushing here......"

"Report, officers and soldiers dispatched a small group of men and horses to intercept and kill our Tanma on the east and west sides of the city......"

When the generals in the tent were analyzing the city defense matters of the officers and soldiers, two more pieces of news came.

As the vanguard generals, Ma Ren and the others frowned even deeper.

"It's hard stubble" Ren Jirong snorted: "If he doesn't let him probe, he won't probe, send people to do it with him, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can pull all the people out of the city, if that's the case, Lao Tzu can't ask for it."

Ma Chongxi shook his head: "Wait, wait until the lord arrives, there is no hurry to besiege the city, as you said, the officers and soldiers dare not go outside the city to compete with us, and this move will not stop us from going around the city to investigate, so what we do is just a statement."

"What's the statement?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"He's not happy, and he won't let us have a good time," Ma Chongxi said with a smile.

When it was nearly noon, an elite iron cavalry of more than 500 people arrived at the vanguard camp of the thief army from the south.

The core figures of the thief army led by Li Zicheng all arrived, and Ma Chongxi, Ren Jirong and the generals hurriedly came to greet them.

"Lord, the officers and soldiers are well prepared this time, not to mention the high walls of Taiyuan City, and they have made defensive fortifications on the periphery......"

Ma Chongxi accompanied Li Zicheng to report while walking.

Li Zicheng's eyes were solemn, without saying a word, he led Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others to hurriedly walk to the front of the formation, and their eyes were immediately attracted by the small hill not far away, and then the muscles on his face trembled, and his fists clenched!

This mountain is not made of soil and rocks, but the heads of people, the heads of thieves, and the officers and soldiers!

"Bastard thing, what's the use of keeping this thing, don't destroy it early!" Niu Jinxing angrily reprimanded Ma Chongxi.

You must know that this thing seriously affects the morale of the military!

"No," Li Zicheng raised his hand to stop Niu Jinxing: "It's okay to leave it for other brothers to see, don't forget the blood vengeance and blood revenge!" ”

He knows that there are two sides to everything, and this mountain of corpses can bluff and inspire people.

Nearly 10,000 heads, this is a sea of blood feud, to be honest, Li Zicheng is just angry and not distressed, after all, these are not his old camp descendants, most of them surrender troops or concubines, and he will save a lot of rations if he dies more, you must know that there are too many soldiers and displaced people at this time, which has made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he feels deeply pressured.

He just couldn't understand why the officers and soldiers were so ruthless, and he couldn't bear to do such a thing.

"Officers and soldiers are digging ditches and digging soil outside the moat, and there are more than ...... five miles deep," Ma Chongxi pointed to Taiyuan City and whispered before the battle.

Li Zicheng and the others turned black, the Taiyuan City in the distance was majestic and towering, like a tiger entrenched and sitting, looking at himself angrily, the flag fluttering on the city, the crowd was crowded, he believed that there were really people in the city who were also staring at him, and Zhou Yuji and the eunuch must be in the city.

Only at this time did he understand that Zhou Yuji and Cai Maode worked hard to play the boring deception drama with the director of the house, and the real purpose turned out to be the five-mile fortifications outside the city!

As we all know, the most basic pattern of positional warfare is that the defensive position, the main position, and the complete and in-depth position.

In ancient times, the battlefield was dominated by cold weapons, and the combat method was relatively simple, except for the two armies fighting against each other, it was siege warfare.

One attack and one defense, the city is the main position, and the moat is the simplest defensive position.

Don't underestimate the importance of defensive positions, in the Battle of Lao Son in the Vietnam War, the monkey was directly bombarded by our artillery on the hill of the main position because there was no effective defensive position, which led to the later monkey commanders saying that there was no defensive position, and no one could hold it if they fought like this!

Although it is now the era of cold weapons, artillery is still the main force of assistance during the siege of the city, and it should not be underestimated, and with a defensive position, it is not easy for the thief artillery to approach.

At this time, in winter, the water surface was frozen, and the role of the moat as a defensive position was lost.

But！

Chang Yu's skillful hand rejuvenated the moat with dense spiked wooden stakes on it, which was immediately equivalent to encircling the outer edge of Taiyuan City to reject horses.

With a width of more than ten or ten meters, it is too difficult for the thief army to think about it, of course it can be burned, but the fire and ice melt is a moat!

What's more, Chang Yu dug a trench five miles deep outside the moat, densely packed with traps, making it difficult for the thief cavalry and artillery to get close.

This is the most perfect position, Taiyuan City is the main position, the trench is the defensive position, and the middle moat to the city is the deep position.

Tens of thousands of refugees, scattered 10,000 taels of silver, rushed to work day and night, and did not hesitate to unite with the bigwigs of Taiyuan City to perform a deceptive drama to delay time, it was for this fortification!

Good calculation! What a deep scheming!

Li Zicheng suddenly felt a shudder, and the staff members around him were also cold, the real test since the Eastern Crusade had arrived!

Hahahaha

Suddenly, Li Zicheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and everyone was shocked, looking at him for some reason.

"A child's plan, a small way" Li Zicheng looked at the five-mile trench position, and sneered with disdain: "You can break it with a wave of your hand."

Niu Jinxing and the others rejoiced: "What is the Lord's plan?" ”

"This little Dao'er, why do you need a clever plan" Li Zicheng pouted and looked at Taiyuan City in the distance, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu in the city can't help you for a while, outside the city is still Lao Tzu's opinion!" ”

said with a wave of his hand: "Send people and horses, if the officers and soldiers dare to go out of the city, they will call Lao Tzu back, Lao Tzu will walk outside the city at will, see what he can do"

"The last general listens to the order" Ma Chongxi is happy.

"Organize the manpower, break through its outlying fortifications after noon, and approach the city," Li Zicheng immediately said to Liu Tichun, the general beside him.

Niu Jinxing and the others realized at this time that Li Zicheng really didn't have any tricks, it was still the three-plate axe, but it was very practical!

The so-called manpower to be organized is the homeless people who have been coerced, and he plans to use these homeless people to break Chang Yu's outermost trench array!

It's the cannon fodder regiment again!

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you want the cannon fodder to contribute, then you want to feed your stomach!

It's noon, the thieves make a fire to make food, but these meals are only provided to soldiers on weekdays, most of those homeless people have to rely on their own ways to get some food, in fact, the reality does not want the thief army to advertise that, you follow me to have food, all for you to eat what the soldiers eat, Li Zicheng can't do this, only provide some gruel, hang your life, and use it as cannon fodder at critical moments.

However, today, more than 10,000 homeless people have received rations, and they are scrambling to show their eagerness, lest it will not be their turn.

"Eat well, go to ......work ahead when you're full," laughed the soldier who handed out the rations.

No one cares what work to do, no one cares about what work is done in front of hunger, as long as you stutter will do it, the era of artificial food death!
