Chapter 10 Recruitment

The ropes had already hung down, and every officer and soldier was tied to their waists, holding the ropes with both hands, and someone on them pulled them up one by one.

Chen De fell last.

When Chen De just came up, he looked back and saw a team of horses, which had come straight from the west, and it was the horse team led by Luo Dai.

Chen De fell into the city and attacked, which surprised Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan, but Yuan Shizhong's reaction was also fast, and he immediately ordered the horse team to attack, and Luo Dai bypassed the defeated army from the west side of the battlefield, and it also took a little time, but he didn't expect Chen Yongfu's eyes to be so sharp, and as soon as the cavalry moved, he immediately found out.

Just when Luo Dai's department was galloping, Chen Yongfu began to sing gold.

By the time Luo Dai came to the city, Chen De's department had already gone to the city. is just the kung fu of the front and back feet, and Luo Dai is destined to return in vain.

However, at this time, the sun also began to move westward, and it was already in the afternoon. Although it can still be played for a while. But Zhang Xuan no longer has the nature of continuing to fight.

Zhang Xuan squinted at the city wall to the south.

In modern times, even in towns and villages, buildings of such height abound, but now this city wall is almost insurmountable.

"The ladder, the Lu bus is of little use." Yuan Shizhong didn't care too much about the effect of the siege, he just cared, he said to the command of the army: "Today's performance of the departments is good, this is the time to retreat, and there is a bit of chaos." ”

Although the following casualties are summarized now, they have not yet come up, however, Yuan Shizhong also has his own estimates, in the entire siege, the largest casualties are not when the city is attacked, but when they retreat, they were bitten by the official army, and the damage of hundreds of people to tens of thousands of people is not great, and the biggest thing is that they trample on each other and die.

Even if these hundreds of people are hundreds of enemies, how many people can be killed at that moment. However, it was because of the confusion caused by the pursuit of the officers and soldiers that many troops were scattered.

After all, before these people, most of them were peasants, and they were barely able to use them under the pressure of the army and the supervision of the upper and lower levels, but it was impossible to maintain good order when retreating.

Zhang Xuan said: "It's only been a few days of training, and with this effect, I already feel good, even if you and I are in the headquarters, when we can retreat, are we not in chaos?" The only thing I didn't expect was that this officer and army would dare to fall into the city in the future, which was really bold. ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "In this way, the person who guards the city must be Chen Yongfu." ”

Zhang Xuan thought about it and felt so.

In his current eyes, most civilian officials and military leaders like to blame and seek perfection, and in terms of soldiers, they can use a "cowardice." "In other words, this kind of assault is a move to add to the snake in their opinion, after all, holding Kaifeng City is a great achievement, and they can't take such a risk.

This battle must have been commanded by a military general, and Kaifeng City is famous

, is the famous Chen Zongbing.

Zhang Xuan said: "This Chief Chen is not easy to deal with. ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "Don't say, this General Chen Bing, how is the third brother going to attack this Kaifeng City?" ”

Zhang Xuan sighed and said: "Today's battle, I can see clearly, the biggest advantage of Kaifeng City is that the city wall is high enough, as high as the ladder, and the Lu bus can't reach it, and the biggest disadvantage of Kaifeng is that the city wall is high enough." so high that they could not take care of the foot of the wall. ”

The higher the walls, the better.

For example, the city wall of Kaifeng City, four or five zhang high, so high that the siege equipment is not a little out of reach, even if it is enough, it is not very cost-effective.

For example, the Lu bus.

Zhang Xuan originally planned to build several units to attack together. But it's too power-consuming and time-consuming.

To support a 15-meter, movable wooden gimbal, the base should be at least a few feet square. Otherwise, it will be unstable.

Moreover, the wood used to support the Lu bus must be a large wood, even if the wood is put together with wood, it cannot support it.

But where is this kind of giant tree in the Central Plains? The big trees in the Central Plains have been cut down hundreds of years ago. Where is there so much suitable wood.

Zhang Xuan found that no matter how hard he put in his search, he couldn't find so much wood.

However, the higher the city walls, the better.

The higher the wall, the less you can take care of the corners of the wall.

It is for this reason that the camp is attacked and the city is mainly dug for the city wall. Although most of the ancient Chinese city walls are not straight up and down, but have slopes, this slope will not allow the city head soldiers to monitor the situation under the city very well.

For example, this attack on Kaifeng City is the only one that has made contributions. That is, the goose cart.

If you continue to excavate, you may be able to dig a thousand holes in the city wall like the last siege, and you will have a good siege battle into a tunnel war and a cave battle.

In addition, the high wall also has the disadvantage that the striking surface is also high, and it is easy to be attacked by long-range weapons such as artillery and trebuchets.

Zhang Xuan already had a premonition that this attack would definitely be fruitless, and if he wanted to continue the attack, he had to try other methods.

Because before Zhang Xuan attacked the city, he had already summarized all the circumstances of the last time he broke into the camp and attacked Kaifeng City.

He carefully pondered all the ways to break into the camp, even if he grabbed the medicine in the original prescription, it was impossible to do better than breaking into the camp.

Regardless of Xiao Yuanying, or Zhang Xuan's headquarters, or even Cao Ying's people, there are not as many people as there are people in the camp. Cao Ying dared to say that his horse team was not weaker than the camp, but the Cao Ying infantry team could not be compared with the camp, Zhang Xuan dared to say that his department could be called elite, but among the Cao camp, such as Zhang Xuan's infantry team, how many. I'm afraid it's only Zhang Xuan's own department.

"The way to break into the camp is not good, I only

There's a way to try something new. Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Today, it seems that this orthodox siege war will not work. ”

Zhang Xuan was silently thinking about where to start next. Zheng Lian has already put together the casualties and reported them.

"Heh---, there are 2,000 casualties in today's battle." Yuan Shizhong said: "The people of the headquarters are also more than 300 people who follow Wang Xianzu's Shangcheng. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Yes. Yes, let's let them attack again tomorrow. ”

"Idle is idle anyway." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

At this time, above the city, Gao Mingheng was rewarding the soldiers, and said: "Today's soldiers guarding the city will be rewarded with five taels each." And the three hundred warriors who went down to the city were rewarded twenty taels a day. ”

"Tall Lord Marquis Wandai."

"Tall and wise."

“-----”

For a time, the soldiers at the head of the city cheered.

There is never any righteousness in the soldiers, and their righteousness is silver, the silver to support their families.

Gao Mingheng is a little approachable, and his usual serious appearance has also become softer.

When the cheers of the soldiers dissipated, Gao Mingheng consulted with the upper echelons of the city to discuss the soldiers. In this small meeting, there are only Huang Shu, Sang Kai, Chen Yongfu and his son. There is also Gao Mingheng himself.

"General Chen, today, the enemy is attacking with Lu Gongche, does the general have any defensive strategy?"

Chen Yongfu said: "With the meaning of the last general, you can set up a wooden fort at the head of the city, five feet high, with thick wood for it, and set up a fire gun behind. If a thief goes up to the city, he will attack him. Kill the enemy in the square inch of the city. ”

Avoiding hand-to-hand combat with thieves is Chen Yongfu's first strategy.

It's not that Chen Yongfu doesn't dare to fight hand-to-hand with thieves, Chen Yongfu's four thousand sons are all first-class elites, no matter what kind of thieves they are, they dare to fight.

But in Kaifeng City, how many such elites are there, there are not many at all, why when the thieves attacked the city, Chen Yongfu's reaction was to fight with shields, sandwiched with firearms, and there were really few soldiers who dared to fight hand-to-hand with the thieves face-to-face.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of the thieves, Chen Yongfu set up a wooden fort on the city and tried to exert firepower.

Gao Mingheng nodded and said, "In this battle, our army only lost a few hundred people, and killed nearly 10,000 enemies. The thieves were defeated and returned, and this battle was all the credit of General Chen. Mr. Chen's plan, I approved. Sang Tongzhi. ”

"The lower official is here." Sang Kai said.

Gao Mingheng said: "No matter what you do, whether it is demolishing people's houses or temples, anyway, I want to see that there is enough wood to go to the city." ”

"Yes." Sang Kai said.

Gao Mingheng said to Chen Yongfu again: "I will give you all the materials you need." The affairs of the North City will be left to you. ”

"I will live up to the trust of adults." Chen Yongfu said.
