Chapter 28 Advice
Once the Goguryeo people find the right way, then the rest is purely consumed by human lives!
And Gongsun Xun didn't have any bloody battles with the other party, he saw it clearly on the stage, and after the first fence was dragged open three openings, he immediately issued instructions to Xu Rong and asked the other party to take the initiative to give up the first fence.
Of course, the Goguryeo people's offensive on the first day was only that...... After all, the sky was getting dark, and with the quality of Goguryeo soldiers, it was really not enough to support the night battle. If this is counterattacked by the Han army, it may break up overnight, and it will be a lot of fun. And Ming Lindafu was not going to make such a mistake, so after all, the Goguryeo people threw down a large number of corpses and retreated directly after destroying the first fence.
The first day of the official battle ended with the Han army's casualties almost disproportionate to Goguryeo's, and the Han army paid more than that fence.
But after all, the Goguryeo people also mastered the method of dealing with the defense facilities of the Han army...... As for the question of the fact that this method is destined to pay a lot of casualties, to be honest, the Goguryeo people, who are unusually well armed, obviously did not spare their lives!
In fact, on the second day, the Goguryeo people who had mastered the way to deal with it even drove away the slaves and women who were originally used to transport grain to serve as meat shields, and the wails resounded through the battlefield, not to mention the Han army in front of the battle, even Gongsun Xun, who saw this scene from afar, was a little shaken for a while.
Thanks to the Goguryeo people's sacrifice of their lives, the second day of the battle not only dragged down and dragged away the second fence that the Han army had repaired overnight, but also the first fence in front of the camp wall!
"If this continues, it will never last another three days!"
Compared with the low-level soldiers who were immersed in the 'big victory', Xu Rong and other senior officers saw it more thoroughly.
"That's right, Wang Shuzhi and Jian Ju made a lot of formed fences in the back in advance, and we can repair another layer of defense overnight...... But so what? Tomorrow, if the Goguryeo people risk livestock and human lives, they will be able to completely tear down this tattered fence in half a day, and they will be able to climb the wall with ladders in the afternoon! β
"The Goguryeo people have died so much, I'm afraid I have to rest for a day before I can officially climb the camp wall, right?"
"Even if Ming Lin Dafu ordered to repair for one day, it would only be delayed for another day, and the day after tomorrow it would still be a direct attack on the camp wall, and once the camp wall was climbed, it would be directly hand-to-hand!"
This is exactly what this means, because the previous two layers of fences were very badly damaged, and the camp wall was stronger than the fence, so they were all excited, thinking that they had the chance of victory...... But in fact, where did they know that they could kill so many people before, it all relied on the cooperation of the camp wall and the fence, and the bow and arrow on the camp wall were the main force to kill! Once the camp wall is climbed, it will be reduced to a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, and the archers will no longer be able to condescend and calmly kill the enemy, and the lethality of our army will be greatly reduced. β
"In fact, our army is mostly cavalry, and it is not good at defense."
"So what? Can we still take the initiative to attack in such a situation? The terrain is too restrictive, and the opposite camp is too close. β
"After all, it is just a camp in the valley, and the watchtowers and high platforms on it are all temporarily built, and the height and thickness of the camp wall itself are far less than the serious city wall! And with the undying momentum of the Goguryeo people, I am afraid that once they fall into hand-to-hand combat, they will not be able to last for two days...... Xu Sima's three-day statement still makes sense. β
"And compared to this place, the small camps on the left and right are even more dangerous, and their camp walls are weaker, but they are only slightly advantageous. As for the loss of the left and right small battalions, the large battalion will be surrounded on three sides, and I am afraid that it will immediately be unable to hold on. β
"If the left and right camps are lost, what about the sons of the two Gongsun families? The two of them are still in the second camp and have not come, just this matter, believe it or not, you and I can't go back to Liaoxi? β
The crowd was silent for a moment.
"Where's the general?" After a long time, Xu Rong, who was still the first to discuss, couldn't help but ask again. "Why haven't you come yet?"
"Together with Wang Hucao, I am comforting the wounded." Han Dang, who had just come to the stage, replied frankly. "My young gentleman has changed his original big tent into a place for the wounded to recuperate, so he will let you and I come here to wait for the military discussion on the high platform."
"Condolences to the wounded are certainly the style of ancient famous generals." Xu Rong frowned. "But the situation is ...... right now"
"What about the situation?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from the stairs under the high platform, as if Gongsun Xun had returned from condolences to the wounded.
"General!"
"Shaojun!"
"Lingjun!"
"Your Excellency!"
All sorts of jumble salutations immediately rang out.
"Let's all live." Gongsun Xun appeared on the high platform with Wang Xiu, and he actually held a steaming pottery bowl with hot soup in his hand. "Xu Sima just talked about the current situation?"
"Exactly."
"What's the situation right now?" Gongsun Xun asked after taking a sip of hot soup. "After two days of hard fighting, everyone is very tired, but at this time, we should be more careful, and I hope Bojin will be honest."
Xu Rong wanted to speak and stopped...... To tell the truth, he didn't believe that he grew up in a border county and fought a big battle with the Xianbei people, and then Gongsun Xun, who had seen through the Goguryeo ambush at a glance, would not understand the most basic development of the war situation. Didn't you see everyone else keep silent?
To put it bluntly, things have come to this point, not to mention the great enemy, these generals in front of them are either like a few tribal leaders who have no way back, or people like Han Dang who were originally Gongsun Xun's henchmen. It was Xu Rong himself, at this time, because his soldiers and horses were mixed in the army, but he was also tied to this battle!
In other words, whether intentionally or unintentionally, through this war, Gongsun Xun has already said nothing in this army, and everyone is afraid of him.
"I guess, you want to say that our army's fence tactics are useless, and we must come up with another way to deal with it, otherwise the situation will inevitably deteriorate?" Gongsun Xun asked with a smile, but he sat directly back in the position where he had actually been sitting for two whole days, that is, a small pony under the White Horse.
"Exactly." Xu Rong dared to bow down and say yes.
"Do you have any ideas?" Gongsun Xun put the hot soup pottery bowl at his feet, and then asked.
"The enemy is not good at night fighting, maybe he can attack at night!" Xu Rong took the lead in proposing.
"How do you attack at night?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask with a straight face.
"The two battalions are too close to each other, so it is convenient for them to attack us, and naturally it is convenient for us to attack them." Xu Rong calmly said his thoughts. "The enemy camp is vast and deep, but it is rudimentary, and the morale of the enemy is carefree but the quality is inferior...... I intend to wait until the evening of tomorrow when the mist is over, when they have just withdrawn and recuperate, and I don't expect to break the camp or anything, but it would be good to disturb it. β
Gongsun Xun bowed slightly when he heard this, but slowly shook his head: "It's right to attack and defend, but you don't have to deliberately try it until the final word is finalized or you have to do it...... In fact, the enemy has only only arrived on the third day, so how can you know that you are unprepared? No matter how small the troops are, if they are swallowed by the other side in turn, it will seriously dampen morale. This meaning can be written down for the time being, and if it is really necessary, it is still possible. β
Xu Rong immediately bowed down to accept this recognition.
However, the so-called countermeasures, in addition to this one, are only that, because when Gongsun Xun continued to ask one by one, the answers he got were all the same...... It's nothing more than taking the initiative to attack, and then because it's difficult to be effective during the day, it's all night attacks, and it's all means like throwing torches around the camp.
To put it bluntly, most of these people, whether Han or Hu, are almost all from the northern border counties, and they are good at cavalry, and they are good at attacking but not defending. But if you ask them to think about a defensive approach, that's a bit embarrassing.
"So be it!" Gongsun Xun was smiling, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking. "If you have an idea, even if you tell me in private, or send someone to talk about it, but at the moment of the great enemy, you still have to guard the line of defense."
This is to get rid of people, and everyone didn't dare to stay longer, so they took their leave.
"The guards also went down first, and Uncle Zi stayed."
Gongsun Xun suddenly spoke out at this time, but it made everyone who turned around and left have some expectation in their hearts.
"Shaojun left me behind, but I have something to talk about?" Lou Gui and the others dispersed, and then asked curiously.
"It's not private to say private words in front of three people." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Uncle Zi, there should indeed be private words between you and me, but it is not me who tells you, but you who tell me...... Let me ask you, in the current situation, the Goguryeo people obviously want to harden the village, fight in a stupid battle, and fight with us, not surprisingly, I am afraid that the situation will really collapse, and Zhenzheng Nan and Ziheng are not here, as a rare scribe in the army, do you have anything to teach me? β
Lou Gui immediately smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Shaojun thinks I have something to hide?" β
"I saw that you have grown a lot before Uncle Zi, and I can't help but look forward to it." Gongsun Xun is also honest. "But you really don't have any ideas, do you?"
Lou Gui shook his head helplessly at first, and then couldn't help asking: "Compared with the previous two days, I think you seem to be a lot more relaxed now, Shaojun...... Isn't there already some success? β
"Where is that?" Gongsun Xun immediately laughed again. "The day before yesterday, we were in battle to peep at the other party's fundamental reality, and then we swore an oath to the enemy with blood, and our morale was uplifted; Then, although there were some hidden worries after the start of the battle in the past two days, the battle situation was excellent, and I was naturally in high spirits; By this afternoon, the fence had been completely broken, and only a lonely wall remained, and there was no solution to it...... The situation is getting worse and worse, how can I be more relaxed than I was in the previous two days? β
Lou Gui couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Then Shaojun, let's not talk about today's events for the time being, how true and how false are you talking about the national fortunes of Goguryeo the day before yesterday?" β
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this...... To tell the truth, don't look at what he said about the Goguryeo people the day before yesterday, and even believed what he said for a while, after all, the situation in front of Goguryeo, he really has some truth when he thinks about it!
However, before he came, he specifically inquired from his own mother, and this Goguryeo not only did not die in the future, but gradually grew bigger and became the real overlord of Liaodong, and finally was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty with the same name as the Han Dynasty after a few hundred years. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have thought so much of his opponent before!
In other words, Gongsun Xun knew very well in his heart that if he really talked about the word Mandate of Heaven, then Goguryeo was probably the more Mandate of Heaven.
Of course, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that his old lady was actually full of historical knowledge of two knives, and this Goguryeo really declined rapidly after the death of Ming Lindafu in history and was wiped out, but later the Goguryeo people took advantage of the Central Plains for hundreds of years to divide the country, successfully restored the country, and then sat big again...... The Goguryeo of the 'Three Expeditions to Goguryeo' in the mouth of the old lady of her own family, although it is of the same language and species as the Goguryeo in front of her, is not a inheritance.
"It's probably unwarranted, isn't it?" Although Gongsun Xun was a little embarrassed, he finally took a posture in the dark and asked a question instead. "However, in addition to defensive strategies, I do have some other things to ask my uncle."
"Shaojun, please speak." Lou Gui is also simple.
"You say, if I really have enough countermeasures, I mean if," Gongsun Xun asked with a smile as he sat in Mazha and pointed to the enemy camp in the southeast. "So should I lay out the countermeasures one by one, or should I lay them out one by one? Should it be revealed at the beginning, or should it be revealed when the front line finally fails? Which was the most effective way to demoralize the Goguryeo people? β
"It depends on what the young gentleman wants?" Lou Gui couldn't help but laugh. "In fact, if there are really multiple countermeasures, posing together and posing one by one is nothing more than the difference between victory and defeat and killing...... The former can make the battle decide the outcome quickly, and the latter will be more effective in killing and injuring the enemy. β
Gongsun Xun bowed slightly.
"As for sooner or later," Lou Zibo continued to laugh. "If Shaojun just wants to quickly solve the enemy in front of him and solve the immediate dilemma, then he should naturally come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible; And if you want the morale of the enemy army to collapse and get out of control, you should show it later. β
"I see." Gongsun Xun bowed his head again. "Zibo's analysis is very pertinent."
"Then I think Shaojun should have made a decision?"
"Where did I get my decision?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "It's as if I went out to comfort the wounded with my uncle, and I really had enough coping strategies."
"Shaojun really doesn't have it?" Lou Gui couldn't help but be speechless.
"Didn't Zi Bo really come up with some extra countermeasures for me?" Gongsun Xun asked rhetorically.
"I really didn't expect that." Lou Gui is also honest.
"Then I really don't." Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled. "But I have 4,000 reinforcements!"
Lou Guiden was stunned, but excited: "How so?!" I sent a letter to Yu Ziheng the day before yesterday, asking him to ask for reinforcements, why can he arrive today? β
"It wasn't Ziheng's invitation," Gongsun Xun said frankly with a smile. "It's that Zhenzheng Nan came for me a few days ago from Xuansu Taishou Juteng, it took a lot of time to assemble a few days ago, and this afternoon I arrived at the camp at the fork of the Liaohe River, and I just received the news below...... They were supposed to come tomorrow, but I was going to make them wait a little longer at Ziheng's side. β
"Good wait!" Lou Zibo couldn't help but say excitedly. "Four thousand reinforcements, enough to turn the tide. If Ming Lin Dafu had known that our army was not 8,000 people, but 12,000 people here, maybe he would not have dared to come to fight! And if our army can spend a few more days and then show reinforcements, I am afraid that the enemy army will collapse in an instant...... No wonder Shaojun asked me whether I should be released as soon as possible or later, whether I should release it all at once or in batches, is there actually a full 4,000 reinforcements? β
Gongsun Xun's heart moved, but he neither denied nor admitted it.
On the other side, Lou Zibo got the letter, and immediately put down the blocks in his heart, and then turned around and left.
But just halfway through, he suddenly turned around:
"Shaojun, I have a plan, maybe I can let these four thousand soldiers increase gradually, and suddenly appear together, do you want to hear it?!"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
