If you fall into the pit, it's not a matter of whether you can climb up, Fan Jiu's brave soldiers don't need to shoot arrows, pour oil and light fire, pour water to drown, or I take a big stone and I will smash it down, or I don't care at all, as long as you come to save the people over there, I will guard you against it, you don't have a ladder, people can't come up, if you can't come up, you will starve to death in a few days.

So the rebel army just can't get by! When the news came, the leader of the rebel army was really entangled, what is the matter with this Fan Jiu, you are a mole, digging so many pits in the ground!

In fact, this is the living learning and application in the battlefield, Fan Jiu knows deeply that no one can help him, what he can do is to build more fortifications for himself, so how to do this fortification, saying that I build a wall on the ground? What a waste of time!

I only have to dig a trench on the ground, digging a trench I can't push outside, then I'll dig inside, so Fan Jiu continued to dig a trench behind his camp wall, digging deeper and deeper, wider and wider, which means that once the trench outside is lost, I can still retreat to the trench inside, I continue to hold firm, anyway, we have been able to stand up for more than ten or twenty days, and it is not a problem for us to hold out for another ten or twenty days, if the trench inside is broken through again, I will dig another layer, I will see what you can do to me, I will stand up for another ten or twenty days, I don't believe it, things will not turn around!

As a result, Fan Jiu's approach really saved him, and the rebel army broke through the outer trench, and the inside couldn't rush in, what does it feel like? is not only the loss of people, but also the way of playing Fan Jiu, and there is a sense of fear for Fan Jiu's arrangement.

Rushing inside is a death, so they are a little timid, Fan Jiu, so he seized this opportunity, while defending, he was able to organize a few thousand people to fight backlash.

After a whole day of fighting, he beat the rebel army that rushed in again, and it didn't count if he went out, he still took advantage of the victory to pursue, so where did you say Fan Jiu's soldier came from, isn't he just that little person?

Here we talk about this trick of his soldiers, then I will first light the fire, let this fire shine, and then this fire root is in this inner trench, and the outsiders hear the screams of these soldiers of the rebel army on the inside, and then under the isolation of this fire, they can't see how many people are inside.

When he was in the middle of the fog, Fan Jiu sent people out, rushed out, and then shouted: Come on, brothers rush with me, surround these thieves! And then the Taiping army was stupid.

They don't know how many people there are here, and they don't know how many reinforcements they have come through the supply line, anyway, I try, if we really say according to our previous intelligence, it's ten thousand people, we haven't rushed in for so long, it seems unlikely.

Now, we thought it was the trench that was so powerful, and after we broke through the trench, there were still trenches and mechanisms in it! Is this a person who can fight? We can't beat it, it's amazing!

As soon as I heard about it, what happened? And outflanking! It's bad, they have people and soldiers, and they have all kinds of tricks, just waiting for us to send them to the door, pull them down, don't talk about it, run quickly.

Therefore, the rebel army hurriedly retreated, which can be regarded as relieving Fan Jiu's siege in Yuhuatai. This battle lasted for a total of 46 days, and we know how tormented Fan Jiu had to be in these 46 days!

This battle, if this battle is lost, then his chain effect is very terrifying. First of all, Fan Jiu's troops were sick here, and they all said that the bandits had witchcraft and external propaganda work, and the rebel army could completely say that this was in accordance with the will of heaven, because you came to attack our Jinzhou, so you rebelled against the sky, so you died.

Fan Jiu's troops are like this, and so are Ma Ting, they see that they are here, they are also receiving supplies from the same supply line, they are also affected by infectious diseases, and their combat effectiveness has also declined.

Including the later stage of the rebel army, they were also affected by this cholera, and many people were also killed by this cholera. Therefore, if Fan Jiu's army loses, the reputation of the brave soldiers and the elite of the brave soldiers will be gone.

If that's the case, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses between the court and the rebel army. If we go back and commend Fan Jiu's ability to lead the team, we must talk about Fan Li's matter here.

In fact, Fan Li does not have any soldiers to adjust now, but he can withdraw Fan Jiu. Why not retreat? On the one hand, Fan Jiu himself is unwilling to go, and on the other hand, Fan Jiu also has a fluke mentality. Both brothers are in danger, but neither of them is willing to withdraw, which is not particularly easy to understand, but if we talk about it separately, let's talk about the reasons behind it, you may be able to understand.

The reason why Fan Jiu is reluctant to say it is because if I stay here, I will take credit. So of course we know whether you can take the credit or not, and you have a judgment on yourself.

That Fan Jiu thinks that as long as he survives this paragraph, he will be fine, and I can survive this paragraph, so he is willing to support it! As for Fan Li, he didn't let his younger brother withdraw, or he didn't give a death order for his younger brother to withdraw, which is a judgment of the general situation.

Why is there a judgment of the general situation? Because Fan Li can see how many people Li Xiu has, claiming to be 600,000, right? Okay, even if he didn't know how many tens of thousands there were at the time, he couldn't think about it, saying that if you had such a large number of people, how many tons of rice would you consume every day? Where do your supplies come from, this is the account that Fan Gu calculated.

Yes, you are close to Jinzhou, but Jinzhou is not a cornucopia, you have treasures, you may not have so much food, that is, you have so much food, Chen Xiuhong, the king of Di in Jinzhou, and some of his relatives, how much food can be taken out and distributed to the soldiers who are fighting outside?

You said that it is impossible for the grain to come from outside, because although our brave soldiers and sailors cannot come over, and they cannot support Fan Jiu to fight this battle, but I have firmly occupied the waterway, and it is impossible for the supplies of the rebel army to come.

If there is no supply in a war, then this war cannot be fought, and if you say that you want to transport supplies and food by land, it is too difficult.

So it was from this perspective that Fan Li knew that this siege would not last too long. So in this letter to his brother, he gave this account to his brother, and said: The number of thieves is 100,000, and the daily military needs are large, but if there is no big boat to carry it, how can it last? That is, it is transported to the area of Guli Village within dozens of miles in Jinzhou City, and it is not easy to transport 30,000 quintals a month, and the thieves in the city may not be willing to move out more grain.

I told my brother this truth, which is actually equivalent to calculating and giving my brother an explanation, saying that they will not surround for a long time, and if you can hold on, this matter will have a turnaround.

But in retrospect, the question is whether he can hold on. Can you hold on? Fan Li really didn't count in his heart. What is this relationship? He is the eldest brother, and he knows that his younger brother is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of his younger brother's death. Got it?

When you go to the battlefield, you are not afraid of death, are your parents afraid of your death? This is a very simple truth, so Fan Jiu stood up in front, fighting one vicious battle after another, while Fan Liang also made various transfers in the rear, first begging Li Fuquan and Gao Ji, and then begging Li Xubin, who was guarding filial piety at home, and later even asked for more information, and also asked for Guanzhuang.
