Chapter Thirty-Eight: Shooting at Li Guangbi
Nanyang Chengguan.
The castle tower was filled with the smell of sweat and blood, and the castle tower was covered with blood.
The city tower is better, except for the dark red that has penetrated into the city bricks and cannot be washed away, it has been sorted out and cleaned by the people in the city.
But the corpses under the castle tower were uncared for, piled up like mountains, and the sky was hovering with crows and vultures that liked to eat carrion.
In order to avoid the occurrence of the plague, Zhang Xun threw torches and wood into the city tower many times to burn the corpses.
However, the corpses in the distance of the city tower are not convenient for incineration, and can only be left untouched.
It was the sweltering season, and the corpse let the sun shine during the day, giving off a gagging smell.
In this harsh environment, Zhang Xun was giving a lecture in the opening class: more than a dozen generals sat in front of him.
"I said before that the way to defend the city lies in 'active defense and taking the initiative to take the initiative', and the most important key to defending a lonely city is not to defend it, but to attack. Blindly sticking to it will only fall into eternal passivity and greatly affect morale...... If the soldiers in the city themselves have lost their faith, how can they hold on? Today I'm going to talk about the importance of morale......"
"Defending the city is the hardest of all, and the biggest enemy is not the opponent who is scattered all over the mountains outside the city, but yourself. Time will wear down a person's fighting spirit, can consume a person's courage, only by recovering oneself and making oneself fearless can it affect the people around him. ”
Zhang Xun was far-sighted, he led the remnants to the Central Plains, not only did he not destroy the enemy dozens of times his size, but won the battle again and again, and achieved the final victory, relying on great wisdom and bravery.
There are four gates in this Nanyang City, but Zhang Xun has only one, and he can't guarantee everything.
Therefore, whenever he had free time, Zhang Xun taught his subordinates the way to defend the city and the art of using soldiers.
In order to avoid the time when he can't take care of both, there is a second Zhang Xun to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Zhang patrolled a city and defended the world, as a defense master who was unparalleled in the world, he did not give An Lushan any opportunity to take advantage of at all.
In history, Zhang Xun insisted on a small Suiyang, and let the rebels return, and now he is sitting in Nanyang Jiancheng, how can An Lushan have a chance.
Rebel camp.
An Lushan looked at Nanyang, who was not moving, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Three days and three nights, a full three days and three nights of attack, they paid a price of nearly 30,000.
The sacrifice of 30,000 did not bring a little result.
This Nanyang is only 10,000 soldiers, and he has an army of 130,000.
Under such a disparity in strength, such a result was actually played.
There was no initial anger in An Lushan's eyes, only the word fear.
Before he killed Yang Chaozong, he was afraid of Yang Chaozong and damaged the morale of the army, but he was coerced by his life, and Yang Chaozong did not want to attack with his life.
Their performance was very good, and An Lushan was also very satisfied, and even forgot about the fact that he was going to kill him.
But Nanyang just doesn't move......
Nanyang can't be attacked, there is no interface reason, it just can't be done.
An Lushan even doubted that he had exhausted the remaining 100,000 troops in his hand, could he knock this Nanyang to death?
At this moment, An Lushan already had a retreat in his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Gao Shang, who was in charge of intelligence, came to the vicinity of An Lushan.
An Lushan said with a calm face: "There is no news from Ge Shuhan yet?" ”
He has reached the verge of anger, Pei Min has the killer weapon of Ge Shuhan, and he has seen through it from the beginning.
Originally, they thought that Ge Shuhan would send troops from Sichuan and Shu to cross the southbound Southeast Shu Road, which would take a month's journey, and they would have enough time to attack Nanyang City.
But he didn't want Ge Shuhan to requisition all the ships that built the Leshan Giant Buddha, and the soldiers went in two ways.
He personally led his troops down the Yangtze River, directly arrived at Jiangling, and then went north along the Han River to Nanyang.
The speed was completely beyond An Lushan's expectations.
It's just that just after Geshuhan entered Xiangshui, 20,000 soldiers disappeared.
They completely lost track of the reinforcements from Goshuhan.
An Lushan's patience has reached its limit.
Gao Shang couldn't wait to say: "The traces of Ge Shuhan have been discovered, and they did not go north directly. Instead, it turned east from the tributaries of Xiangshui to the Jianghuai. ”
An Lushan suddenly felt inexplicable, Ge Shuhan didn't come to support Nanyang and went to Jianghuai?
For a moment, An Lushan was a little moved.
Attacking Nanyang, they paid a heavy price. But the guards of Nanyang City are not comfortable.
It is difficult to estimate how many casualties there are, but at least the soldiers on the head of the city are more or less wounded.
This allowed the wounded soldiers to go into battle, no less than driving the people to defend the city.
If you really want to fight, Nanyang can't get the support of the troops, and it may not be able to take it.
An Lushan couldn't wait to gather his subordinates in one place, talking about Ge Shuhan's inexplicable actions.
Ling Huchao couldn't help but say: "This brother Shuhan has a grudge against Zhang Xun, but he can't save him when he dies?" ”
Xu Guidao suddenly said: "The last general feels that it is not so simple, I am afraid that the other party knows that we will not be able to take Nanyang in the short term, and bypass our main force to attack our flank." Did you find that we have now surrounded the Tang army. Needless to say, our south side is stuck. To the west is Li Guangbi, who is not well-known in the Central Plains. But the battle of the Western Regions is not easy to deal with. There is Hedong Guo Ziyi in the north, and the west is originally the weakest place of the Tang army, but once Ge Shuhan goes, an encirclement will be formed between the four generals to trap us in it. ”
An Lushan looked at Xu Guidao twice.
Yan Zhuang said bitterly: "General Xu's analysis is reasonable, if this Nanyang still can't be captured, we will soon become a turtle in the urn." ”
Tun Desire Valley coughed uncomfortably and said, "After fighting all the troops and taking down a Nanyang, it is no longer meaningful." Nanyang has become a chicken rib, it is better to retreat. ”
An Lushan was distraught and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, where can you retreat now?" ”
Tunyugu smiled: "Your Majesty, what you see is that the Tang army has besieged us." What I see here is a fighter plane, a fighter plane that turns things around. Pei Min was so arrogant that he gave his soldiers and horses to Wang Zhonghei to attack Arabia. As a result, the forces in hand are dwarfed, and there is an embarrassing situation where there are no soldiers available. Now, he actually does not gather superior forces to make up for his own shortcomings. Instead, they divided their troops and fought, and forcibly divided their few soldiers and horses into four parts? Zhang Xun, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, and Guo Ziyi, their combined strength is not as good as ours. What's more, now the troops are divided into four ways? ”
"No matter how many ways he comes, I'll only go all the way! We still have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we have an absolute advantage in dealing with any one of Zhang Xun, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, and Guo Ziyi alone. ”
An Lushan's eyes also lit up, and he said: "I understand, they want to surround us on all sides." It's simple, before they are surrounded, eat them all one by one, and don't give them a chance to surround them. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Who's closest to us?" Lee Kwang-pil? And they stabbed him. ”
