Chapter 410: Patrolling the village late at night
At night, the head of the city of Nanpi is still lit by fire, a team of soldiers shuttles and patrols, and in the distance you can see the camp of Liu Yi in the distance, two days ago the enemy army has launched an attack on Nanpi, the bravery of the Youzhou soldiers and the sophistication of the equipment have left a deep impression on all the Jizhou soldiers who participated in the battle, the overwhelming boulders, the rain of arrows like flying locusts, and the fire oil tank that ignites on the ground makes the Xiongcheng Nanpi experience a baptism of blood and fire in these two days. It seems that the strong and towering city wall did not bring too much life support to the defenders, they can only use the same blood and fighting to fight back, the tragic battle tested the nerves of every soldier, then they know why the strength of Yi'an County only lasted three days, and the enemy's attack was indeed outstanding.
After two days of fierce fighting, both sides paid a certain price, although the enemy did not take the strategy of attacking the city at night as in Anxian County, but the defenders did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, the whole city soldiers were divided into five teams to take turns to rest, day and night to maintain the highest vigilance, although Liu Yijun's current offensive is concentrated in the north gate, but there is still Tai Shici's Beiping battalion in the west!
The night is already very deep, except for the patrol soldiers in the barracks, the rest have fallen asleep, the quality of the elite soldiers is not only reflected in the battle and march, how to get the best rest in wartime and adjust the physical strength to the best state is also a deep knowledge, this is the gap between the veteran and the recruit is very large, the tragic battle during the day often makes it difficult for the soldiers to sleep at the beginning of the battle, but those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time can deal with it calmly, as long as they lie down, they can hear the subtle snoring soon after, But if there is any movement, they will be the first to come.
Gao Shun put his hands behind his back, led a team of soldiers to inspect the camp in person, Liu Yi handed over the siege task to his hands, this is of course the great trust of the lord, but for Jing Fang, the responsibility on his shoulders is also more than a thousand pounds, the lord's delegation of power is by no means a gesture, in addition to watching the battle in the rear to boost morale, he did not interfere with his command in the past two days, and the discussion after the war was mainly based on him, and the three armies obeyed orders, if the old lord Lu Bu was replaced, it would definitely be unimaginable.
In the battle of Yanzhou that year, Gao Shun saw the lord's battle array command ability, and the battle with Cao Cao under the sealed hill made him extremely convinced, Liu Yi seemed to have a natural courage that made people willing to die for him, as long as he personally sat in the rear army, the soldiers were all excited, and the kind of strength that was not afraid of death was rarely seen in the tiger prison.
However, in addition to the solidity of Nanpi City itself, the other party's response is also remarkable, the point army is full of ability to march for a long time, and after being suppressed by the excellent equipment of the Suzaku Battalion in the early stage, they can use the firing gap of the bombardment cannon to kill it with catapults the next day, and the timing is extremely accurate! Gao Shun's intuition told him that this guard was not Yuan Tan, looking at his past experience, he would never have such a quick reaction ability, of course, it would not be frustrated, although this person is far-reaching and resourceful, but he is not his strength, according to the situation of the battlefield in the past few days, this person's ability to defend the city is afraid that it is not under himself and Wen Yuan, if so, he is by no means a nobody in the Jizhou army, according to Tianer's intelligence, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the cavalry outside, Gao Ran sat in Liyang, Ju Yi has been imprisoned by Yuan Shao, so who will this person be? If he is really unknown, he is even more terrifying.
This question haunted his heart at night, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep after the tent was dispersed, so he simply came out to blow the night breeze, which could also make his mind calmer, an excellent general like Gao Shun, and the long face since the campaign made him have an extremely keen sense of the situation on the battlefield, this feeling is indescribable but will make people convinced, just like Liu Yi's intuition that can predict danger in the mountains and forests. Of course, Gao Shun is not ready to discuss this question with the lord now, his attack and temptation are not over, and he can roughly determine this person's style in a few days.
"General Gao!" At this time, a team of soldiers came to meet and saw Gao Shun patrolling the camp saluting one after another.
"The moonlight is dim tonight, so you need to be on guard, huh? Who is this? Gao Shun looked at the pair of soldiers in high spirits, nodded with satisfaction and explained a few words, but suddenly he found that there was a fresh face dressed as an ordinary person among them, so he immediately asked.
"General Gao, this person is under the command of Guo Junshi, the code and the token are the same, and his subordinates are about to send him to the military division camp." At this time, the person dressed as the captain walked up to Gao Shun and whispered.
"At the time of the war, everything still needs to be cautious, but have you ever searched your body? The safety and security of the main army division should not be underestimated. Gao Shun carefully looked at the man a few times when he heard this, and under the firelight was a face that was ordinary to the extreme, and it was difficult to leave any impression at such a glance! Liu Yi's army in the Tian'er is under the command of Guo Jia, independent of the military camp and its own lineage, even Gao Shun Zhang Liao and other generals do not know much, only know that these people are very capable, and the detailed terrain and intelligence before each war are provided by them, but now that it is in a critical period, he naturally has to explain carefully.
"General Gao rest assured, yesterday the military division had an explanation to his subordinates, and he had already searched up and down, and the lord had also told him, how dare his subordinates slack off." The captain spoke.
"Okay, then go quickly, and you can only return after the military advisor explains." This captain is a veteran of Liu Yi's personal guard battalion, and he was sent to the Gao Shun battalion during this large-scale military training, and then served in the Liaodong battalion.
It was difficult to sleep for a while, Gao Shun continued to patrol the camp while thinking about tomorrow's tactics, and in the handsome tent, Liu Yi was still looking at Nanpicheng in the sand table under the candlelight and pondering, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were all ordered by him to rest, after all, the three military advisors were all scribes, and their physical fitness could never be compared with their own, and he couldn't bear any of them if he was tired.
Although the strategy of the big war has been drawn up as early as Anxian, and Gan Ning's Flying Tiger Army is also making final preparations at this time, while pinning his hopes on the second brother and trying his best to create favorable conditions for him, Liu Yi is still more willing to make some gains in Nanpi, the things of the battle array are changing rapidly, no matter how great you are, it is impossible to have a perfect strategy, he will definitely plan for the worst.
In the past two days, since Liu Yi handed over the right to lead the army to attack the city to Gao Shun, he will never interfere more, of course, in his eyes, Jing Fang did not disappoint him, everyone has their own strengths, and they have specializations, Gao Shun's performance in the siege battle will never lose to Cao Cao on that day, which also shows that Nanpi City is indeed quite tricky, just two days of trial casualties to three thousand, the Vermilion Bird Battalion's sky-bombarding cannons and wells and other things have also begun to be consumed, and the enemy's preparations this time can be described as sufficient.
On the army and the bottom of the siege, Liu Yi is already familiar with these words in the art of war, but if he wants to defeat Yuan Shao and get Jizhou, he must conquer these heroic cities one by one to open his way south, although it is a little helpless but it is an inevitable choice, what he can do now is to rack his brains to find out the weaknesses of this city, minimize the casualties of the department, and there is no other way.
"Damn, this Tian Feng is really powerful, he is simply impeccable with such a hand, how good it would be if Yuan Shao imprisoned him like in history." After standing and contemplating for a long time, he still didn't know the essentials, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a little resentful, and then laughed at himself, there were few such strategists among the opponents he had met before, but he didn't have this kind of luck in the future, Tian Yuanhao was so powerful, presumably Xun Wenruo and others would never lose, how could it be so easy to dominate the world, it was too late today, let's discuss it with a few military advisors in the future.
Liu Yi meditated in the tent, Guan Hai has been staying outside the tent, originally Liu Yi also wanted Ziping to stay in Beiping, although he was broken arm to continue but after all, he hurt his vitality, but Guan Hai was resistant, what to say should come with him, and as in the past, he took on the important position of the lord's guard, who dared to have a slight word Ziping would scold, and now he has handed over most of the responsibilities of the commander of the guard battalion to Li Yuanba and Hong Biao, and he has been a personal guard wholeheartedly.
"Ziping, has the lord ever slept?" Seeing several figures coming from a distance, Guan Hai's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen that one of them was Guo Jia, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Guo Jia asked.
"The lord has just rested, and the military advisor will wait a while, and I will go to pass it on." Guan Hai has never slept when he looks at the military advisor, there must be something important when he comes here late at night, the lord has already explained, and the military advisor does not need to pass it on to him, but at the time of the war, Xi Zhicai strictly ordered that no matter who wants to see the lord, no one can be an exception, Jia Xu and Guo Jia also think deeply about this, of course, make enough rules.
"Fengxiao came here, you still don't invite him in, the weather is cold, how can you let him wait outside the tent." After Guan Hai entered the tent, the lights turned on, and Liu Yi wore an underwear and hastily put on a coat and walked out of the tent to welcome Guo Jia.
