Chapter 350: Upheaval in the City
Since there have been cities in the world. There have been many failed siege cases. As long as the defenders inside the city see the banner of reinforcements outside the city. The weakened defenders will burst into warriors in that moment. An army with a rainbow of morale will instantly explode with powerful combat power. And the besieging army will be greatly frustrated at this moment. Thus a blow and a crush, the attack and defense have changed momentum from then on. At least once the two sides meet, the siege difficulty will increase exponentially.
One of the most successful sieges before. It was Li Shimin who attacked Luoyang and Li Shimin's militia trapped Luoyang City. Send troops to defend all important passes around Luoyang. Li Yuan divided and disintegrated the princes in the rear. As much as possible, reduce the number of soldiers and horses to aid Wang Shichong of Luoyang. At that time, Dou Jiande personally led a large army to rescue Luoyang. Li Shimin waited for work in the Tiger Prison. Defeat the reinforcements and then carry the defeated flag of the reinforcements to the city of Luoyang. The defenders of the city immediately collapsed. Once the army's heart is scattered, it is difficult to recover the immortals immediately. Failure is inevitable.
Tian Lingzi also knew that Shou chūn was difficult to ke. Although the fortification of Shou Chūn Castle was much stronger than he expected. So he made up his mind at the beginning to defeat the rescuers of the other feudal towns that had come back first. The situation of Shou Chūn was very different from the geography and Luoyang, which Wang Shi was guarding at the beginning. But the method used by Tian Lingzi is much the same as Li Shimin.
Li Yuan lured all walks of life to oppose the king and made them give up the rescue of Wang Shichong. Tian Lingzi then let his Chinese army storm the city of Shou chūn. Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong extinguished the soldiers and horses who came to rescue on the periphery. The effect is the same. It's all about weakening the reinforcements as much as possible.
Li Shimin defended the dangerous passes outside Luoyang City. Prevent reinforcements from joining up with the defenders. The city of Shou chūn has no such geography. But his soldiers and horses were far more abundant than Xu Wen. He could artificially create impassable fortresses around Shouchūn with his camp.
Dou Jiande led an army of 100,000 men who were fierce and invincible. As a result, he was defeated before the tiger prison that was not opened. It's still on the outside line today. On the orders of Yang Xingmi, the general who came to the rescue of Shou Chūn, An Renyi was better than Dou Jiandeji, and An Renyi did not directly set up a position to fight with Tian Lingzi and Duan Mingyu of Gong defending Tian Lingzi, and Yang Fugong's troops had a decisive battle, so that he could succeed in the battle, but he could find a way to detour along the Huai River to the south gate of Shou Chūn City. Tian Lingzi adopted the tactic of encircling three without one, so the defense of the south gate was the weakest, so that his 20,000 troops could enter Shou Chūn City smoothly.
Zhang Hao, who was imprisoned in Chang'an, sent a secret report to Yang Xingmi. Xu Wen already has a counter-intention. Yang Xingmi learned from the pain. That's when the nirvana order was issued. An Renyi thought about his plan over and over again. There are no flaws.
The plan went well. The army entered the south gate with lightning speed. Xu Wen respectfully invited An Renyi into his mansion. An Renyi did give the order to do it in the end. But he didn't see the sun the next day. Xu Wen and his son not only did not die. Instead, they killed him. He didn't suddenly understand until the moment he died. Xu Wen is not an easy person. His means far surpass his own. Surrounded the lobby with hundreds of people on his own. How could he not have noticed it in the slightest.
Xu Wen Wangshou chūn under the city of military camps. The eyebrows are tightly locked, and the face is very heavy.
A young general hurried to his side. This young player was born very handsome. However, the military uniform has been scraped into silk pieces of cloth in the dense forest, and many rì have not been washed. Unkempt. If it weren't for the sword at his waist, it would still be there. It looks like a flower child.
"Daddy. Today they have captured the head of the city of Shou chūn. I'm afraid if we don't kill it again...... Shou Chūn City is about to be lost. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the city have already received orders from the marshal. Refusing to obey his father's orders. We're being hunted for now. But just with those few mediocre talents. How to keep Shou chūn...... "This is called Hanako is Xu Jing. Although they killed An Renyi. Successfully escaped. But An Renyi died. There is also An Renyi's lieutenant general. Also his siblings. AN Renping. An Renping learns that his brother is dead. Quickly mobilize an army of 20,000 men. Take control of the city defenses. Wait until he really controls the entire Shou Chūn City firmly under control. The father and son of the Xu family have long since fled. The two of them fled, and they fled. The Lost Dog. One man no man. What waves can he make? But the worst thing is . With Xu Wen's father and son fleeing, there were also Xu Wen's 5,000 pro-army. That's tricky.
It is said that Xu Wen betrayed Lord Yang. Will he let this army lurking in the shadows open the city gates? Surrender the Don Army. An Renping was worried. But Xu Wen didn't have this heart. He said with a worried look in his eyes: "Lord Yang listened to the slander, and we were punished. Our family in Yangzhou has also been poisoned. From now on, we don't have to serve him on a saddle horse. This is also the end of benevolence and righteousness, but thousands of years later, future generations will still think that I, Xu Wen, am a shameless person who sells his lord for glory. Tonight, I will prove to the world that I, Xu Wen, have not yet surrendered to the enemy, and it is he Yang Xingmi who is blind to the dog's eyes."
"Daddy. Are we going to attack the Chinese army camp in Tian Lingzi?"
"No. More than Tian Lingzi. There are also Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong." Xu Wen said slowly.
"What. Father. Then we won't have a way to live......"
Xu Wen glared at him sharply. Jing'er. Yang Xingmi can look at us like this. But we can't let the people of Jianghuai look at us in this way."
Xu Jing hurriedly said, "Yes."
He was silent for a moment and then said, "Dad. The soldiers have been hiding in this high mountain for more than ten days. Every rì eats cold food and drinks cold water. Many of the soldiers have already fallen ill. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Tian Lingzi to break the city. We...... We've lost 30 percent of our combat power."
Of course, Xu Wen understood what the loss of 30% of the combat effectiveness meant for an army. That's not a simple loss of power that can be calculated separately. The loss of thirty percent of the combat strength of an army on the battlefield is enough to defeat the whole army. Its erosion of morale and fighting spirit has brought fetters to the entire army. The impact of combat power is at least seventy percent.
Xu Wen looked up at the sky and still didn't speak.
Xu Jing said again: "Those who are guarding the city are a group of mediocre talents. These ten days of battle were fought. Although the location is advantageous. I'm afraid the casualties will never be small. If we delay any longer, we will be able to make a successful sneak attack. That will also destroy many people in the city. What's the point......
"Bastard talk." Xu Wen drank his son violently. He said in a deep voice: "The big husband has something to do. Do something. Where loyalty lies, sacrifice life and forget death. Everything is so weighed. It's better to be a businessman."
