Chapter 461: Chang'an Order, Northern Army (Second Update)
The siege and defense of the Daimyo Castle had lasted for seven days, and during these seven days, the combined forces of the two kings had almost no interruption in the siege of the Daimyo.
The main army of the alliance of hundreds of thousands of two kings, tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and countless people have all participated in the attack on the Daimyo City these days.
Seven days have passed, and the daimyo castle has long since lost its majestic and majestic appearance, with broken walls, wolf smoke, bloodstains, broken armor, broken blades and corpses piled up outside the city, and the unrecognizable stench wafts in the air, stimulating the tense nerves of the soldiers.
This is not hell on earth, there is no hell in real life, this is hell.
Any tragic battlefield is a hell.
The great battle in the past few days has caused heavy losses on both the offensive and defensive sides, and the casualties during this period are far greater than the battle outside the city some time ago. When the two kings' coalition army attacked the city, a large number of people who were forcibly requisitioned used as cannon fodder, and in the ditch outside the daimyo castle, the corpses of the people were almost half filled, which was the price paid by the two kings' alliance army to build the moat.
Similarly, in the Daimyo Castle, the minfu who lacked actual combat experience were also the group with the greatest casualties, although they only assisted the southern army in defending the city.
On this day, a great battle has just passed.
"In a big war, no matter who wins or loses, it is the people of the world who sacrifice the most." At the head of the famous city, Li Yannian, whose face was as pale as paper, leaned on the big pillar of the city tower, his eyes were stunned and looked at the tragic scene in front of him, his hoarse voice revealed a compassionate atmosphere, the big battle in the past few days made it difficult for Li Yannian, who was already injured, to support his body, and the cracking of the wound and blood loss were all testing his perseverance, and now he can still stand on the city wall, it is really not easy, "This war, I really don't know when it will end." ”
The sunset penetrated the window screen, and Li Yannian's emaciated figure was reflected on the doors and windows, a little tired and weak.
"The military advisor is so compassionate, why do these people refuse to leave the city for half a step? It may be too rude and inappropriate to say that out of sight is pure, but cruelty is not in sight, and there will always be less pressure on yourself. Willow wiped away the blood sprayed on his face by his enemies, and sat down on the steps in front of the tower, smiling curiously in the sunlight.
Li Yannian shook his head, "I don't go down the city wall, just so that I can see all the battlefield events at a glance, so that I can dispatch the whole army in a timely and measured manner." Only in this way can the chances of victory be greater for the army, and the end of this battle can be made earlier. The sooner the war ends, the fewer innocent deaths there will be. ”
Liu Mu was silent for a while, glanced at the battlefield outside the city from the city wall, looked at Li Yannian, and puzzled: "I have also seen some scholars, and when I look at them on the battlefield, they don't seem to have the same compassion as a military advisor. In order to make a career and show their ambitions, they don't care too much about the life and death of others. As fellow readers, why are you so different? ”
Li Yannian shook his head and said seriously: "This is not a question of whether you are a scholar or not. ”
"Oh, what's that?"
Li Yannian sighed, his eyes drifted into the distance, drifted to the west, and said softly: "It is the historical environment in which everyone grows up. After speaking, seeing that Liu Mu didn't know much about it, Li Yannian added: "If there is also an elderly mother in their family who is weak, and they compare their hearts to their hearts and think of the family members behind each person, they will not bear to kill in front of them." ”
"Compare your heart to your heart......" Liu Mu muttered again, remembering that Ji Di, who lives in Chang'an, is also an advanced age, and his eyes can't help but darken, but then he shook his head and said firmly: "Ci is not in charge of the army!" ”
"You're wrong, General Liu!" Li Yannian's voice was a little louder, and he denied Liu Mu's statement, "Ci is not in charge of the army, it's not this statement." ”
Seeing Li Yannian's serious expression, Liu Mu felt a little funny, and quipped: "Could it be that I, a person who has lived in the military for many years, don't understand this thoroughly as you, the three-day military advisor?"
"At least on this point." To Liu Mu's surprise, Li Yannian replied very seriously and affirmatively, "Ci is not in charge of the army, what he is saying is that he cannot be merciful to the enemy, not that he is not merciful to his own people." On the contrary, a true celebrity is one who is merciful enough to his subordinates. Only by cherishing the lives of each of his subordinates will the generals do their best to command the battle, in order to make their subordinates sacrifice less, win the victory earlier, and end the war as soon as possible. ”
Liu Mu looked at Li Yannian, who had a pious face, and was stunned for a long time, speechless.
"I've heard similar things from the general." In the middle of the ring, Liu Mu said softly, "He said that he wasted his efforts, but he didn't dare to talk about victory, he just wanted his subordinates to die a few fewer on the battlefield, and he said that this is the humanity of soldiers." When I heard this, I didn't understand the meaning, but today I heard the words of the military advisor, and I realized the deep meaning! ”
"General Qin said such a thing?" This time, Li Yannian was stunned for a while, and finally showed a smile after half a sound, and said: "General Qin's words, Li really admires." Scholars always like to say that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but how many readers know that a general who fights his life and does nothing more than make this pile of white bones smaller? ”
"The so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness, first of all, this is the case."
"The teacher of benevolence and righteousness ......" Liu Mu chewed these words carefully.
Li Yannian suddenly felt a sense of relief, he stood up straight and looked out of the city, looked at the barracks of the two kings alliance outside the city, and said confidently: "The benevolent are fearless, the benevolent are invincible, General Qin has led the army of benevolence and righteousness, and those rebels on the opposite side, how can there be any reason to be undefeated?" ”
..................................................................
The barracks of the two kings' coalition army, Wu Huaisu was still standing on the platform of the tower of the Chinese army at this time. The field of vision here is wide enough for him to clearly see the corpses outside the Daimyo Castle like a mountain and a river of blood, and it can also allow him to clearly see the ruins of the Daimyo Castle, dripping with blood.
The wind of the battlefield is always mixed with the smell of blood.
Wu Huaisu stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, his face was indifferent and his expression was hot.
I don't know how long Wu Huaisu has been standing here, Liu An walked up to the tower and walked to Wu Huaisu's side.
After Wu Huaisu saw the salute, Liu An said in a deep voice: "The army has been spending nearly half a month outside the Daimyo City, and the battles have hardly stopped, but the Daimyo City is still standing in front, no matter how you look at it, it has some unshakable meaning. When I was in Yangyi City, although it took us half a month, Gongsun Ao had always hung up the battle exemption card at that time, and the 100,000 southern soldiers were strong and strong. Although the current Daimyo City has Qin City, this king has no intention of being able to complete the battle, but a Qin City is still like this, if Wei Qing's house also arrives in Daimyo City, wouldn't I be able to go back to the house obediently? ”
There was a lot of dissatisfaction in the words.
"Why should the king be so worried? It's only a matter of time before the city breaks. Now the king is in a hurry, which is understandable, but the king must know that the king is in a hurry, and Qincheng is more anxious than the king. The Han Dynasty is now in flames on all sides, especially the Xiongnu in the north, who may break through the pass and go south at any time, and Qin Cheng can't defeat us in a short period of time, and to deal with the other parties, it has already lost. Wu Huaisu looked at Liu An, "At the moment, it is Qin Cheng who is on the losing side, not us." ”
"Having said that, if the Damyo Castle is not broken for a day, we will not be able to enter the land of Gyeonggi for a day. Pinning hopes on the Huns is not appropriate after all. Moreover, the most important thing is that this king is going to replace Liu Che, and at that time, it is necessary to ensure that the Han Dynasty is the king's, and nothing about the Huns. When this king does the seat of Chang'an, this king also wants to destroy the Huns! So at the moment, it is best for the Xiongnu not to break through, as long as they contain the main force of the northern army in the north. If this is the case, we must ensure that we have enough time to get ahead of those short horses of the Huns and enter Chang'an! When Liu An said this, his demeanor and demeanor were as if entering Chang'an was already a sure thing, and his tone was firm and tough, unquestionable.
"King, let's worry about the Huns, is it possible that Chang'an and Qincheng are not worried?" Wu Huaisu smiled and looked calm, "Even if Qin Cheng is in the mood to spend time here with us, step by step, forcing us to wait, but Liu Che can wait?" With fires on all sides, Liu Che is ambitious enough, but isn't this a thing that has no choice? Who said that Liu Che is not worried every night now? Maybe Liu Che's order has now reached the Daimyo City, urging Qin Cheng to fight a quick battle so that he can support the north! ”
Liu An stroked his beard, was silent for a while, and raised his head and asked, "How sure is the military advisor?" ”
"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Wu Huaisu said.
"So what should we do now?"
"Wait and see what happens, and then brake quietly." Wu Huaisu said, "Since Liu Che will urge Qin Cheng, then we only need to prevent Qin Cheng from playing a conspiracy." ”
"How can I prevent it?"
"The whole army is on alert, taking into account both inside and outside, letting the rangers go far away, and strictly checking all battalions and departments inside!"
...................................
Wu Huaisu did not expect badly, Qin Cheng did receive an order from Liu Che that night that day, and this order was indeed urging Qin Cheng to fight quickly.
However, Wu Huaisu guessed the ending, but did not guess the process.
The famous city, the big tent of the Southern Army.
Qin Cheng, who had received the report from the sentry cavalry early, retreated left and right, and waited quietly in the big tent.
He's waiting for someone.
At that time, Qin Cheng and the others arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Meet the General!" As soon as the visitor entered the account, he knelt down and saluted.
"Keiyuki!" Qin Cheng walked out from behind the case and strode over with a smile, "You've finally arrived!" ”
"At the behest of His Majesty, the last general rushed from Gaoque to Daimyo City under the stars and nights to help the general!" The person who came was Qin Qingzhi.
"I have received His Majesty's will to the general, but you are fast enough, three thousand miles in eight days, breaking the record of the general, not bad!" Qin Cheng smiled with relief, and after speaking, his face turned straight, and asked: "The general will ask you, the hussars have traveled so far in the starry night, can they still fight immediately?" ”
"But according to the general's orders, the hussars will move forward!"
"Good!"
