Chapter 39, on the city of Dali
In the major military affairs, there is no place for a woman to put her beak, and Lieutenant Feng Yi can be Xun Guanniang's pull is a fart. But the problem is that this is a society governed by an individual, and the sense of law is generally weak, so how dare he not listen to the words of Mrs. Sima?
The key is that with Xun Guanniang's words, he will have the steps to end up, if Da Li does not abide by it in the future, Da Sima will ask about the crime, it can also be said that your wife forced me to hand over the command, I have no responsibility, I want to punish your wife first - of course, the last sentence can only be understood, and I dare not declare it.
Although Da Sima talks about laws and military law all day long, can he easily refute his wife's face and punish the county lieutenant? If Xun Guanniang is from a low background, or even not in the main room, she is from the Gaomen Xun family, and her father is a scholar in Luoyang, how dare Da Sima not respect his wife like a guest?
Besides, even if the county lieutenant gritted his teeth, excused himself with his duties, and finally defended Dali City, but after offending Mrs. Xun, if she handed a few small words in front of Da Sima, would she still have a future? I'm afraid I can't even save my life!
Therefore, the county lieutenant listened to Xun Guanniang's reprimand, and in desperation, he had to give in and hand over the command to Chen An. Chen An didn't care about himself, left 200 soldiers for the county lieutenant, ordered him to continue to be responsible for the security of the city, and summoned the young and strong, opened the treasury to grant weapons, and went to the city to help defend. In this way, seven or eight thousand people were gathered temporarily, and they were divided into four gatesβthe focus was naturally on the northern city.
By the time Chen An ascended to the top of Beicheng, the sky had gradually darkened, and the Hu military camp had basically been completed. Chen An and Bu Xuan looked at each other from afar, and they couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed-
Bu Xuan had already built a high oar in the camp, and when he climbed the oar, he saw that the city was in a mess, and it seemed that the soldiers had just taken their positions, and he couldn't help but say: Those banners are indeed false soldiers! I knew that I would attack the city directly as soon as I arrived, and I had a good chance to climb the city...... Now is the time to miss the opportunity!
As for Chen An, he found that the front team of the Hu army was only more than 3,000 people, and said in his heart that if I could take advantage of the opportunity when he first arrived, had not yet left the village, and had not yet gained a stable foothold, I would be able to lead the Qinzhou soldiers to rush out, and I would definitely be able to defeat the enemy's momentum, and I would benefit a lot from the future defense of the city. Damn the county lieutenant, if he had handed over the command to me earlier, and had not waited for his wife to come to persuade him before bowing his head helplessly, I would have been able to make a great contribution under the city today!
But regretting that the medicine had nowhere to be touched, Bu Xuan had to wait for Liu Cang's army to arrive; Chen An had no choice but to dispatch troops and horses to arrange the city guards. He estimated that most of the Hu army was behind, and he had missed the opportunity, and he could only rely on these soldiers in his hands to defend the city and be beaten passively, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to regain the initiative.

Liu Cang arrived at the end of the next day and the beginning of the next day, and when he arrived at the city of Dali, he heard the report that the number of Jin troops defending the city should not be much.
He didn't think that the city would be slow to move because of the dispute over the command, and he didn't see the defenders in place one after another until the camp was firmly established and he climbed the oars to look at it, judging that the number of soldiers was too small, and he didn't expect our army to arrive in a hurry, so he was forced to temporarily call in the city to help defend the city, so he was slow - in fact, it can't be completely wrong.
Therefore, he reported to Liu Cang and said: "The troops of Chen An, where Songduo and General Jin met in front of the road, were only hundreds of horsemen; Since Zhen Sui went to save Haoyang, the number of soldiers left behind was 3,000, and the city guards should be less than 5,000. Dali is Feng Yi's county rule, and if he hears that his household registration is nearly 10,000, he can use Qingzhuang, which is also about 5,000......"
Liu Cang nodded and said, "In this way, there are only 10,000 people, and there are many ordinary people, and the strength will be insufficient, and it is not difficult to get down this city." "But then he made a turn-" Although, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Qiao to stumble for a long time, and if Zhen Sui and Guo Mo go to Haoyang, if they do not see the main force of our army, they will also rush south, if they can't rush down Dali, their momentum will be difficult to reverse after all. So he ordered to besiege the city on three sides, regardless of casualties - Shangluoshui in the south, which was not easy to attack close to the city - and urged Liu Ji to seize the ferry as soon as possible to ensure the connection between the army and the mainland.
Liu Cang didn't even have time to build siege equipment, so he directly ordered his soldiers to cut down wood and build ladders, and then rushed straight towards the city wall with ladders.
In order to boost morale, and also hope to be on the front line of the bloody battle, watching the battle with her own eyes, Xun Guanniang also found a body of armor to put on, and climbed the city tower in person - the siege of Dali back then, with Pei Wei blocking her, she had no chance to go to the city at all, and this time no one dared to stop her - seeing this situation, not only was she not afraid, but she was disgusted and surprised, so she asked Chen An:
"Although the Hu army has never been good at attacking cities, I heard that this is Liu Cang's army led by the whole country, among which there must be many generals, and there is no shortage of elites in a hundred battles. She hadn't seen Hu Bing much, but she had seen Cao Kou, just like when she was in Wancheng, the Fifth Yi envoy Du Zeng led his troops to launch several fierce attacks, and Du Zeng's department was not all organized and undisciplined thieves and Cao Kou?
Why do you look at the state of the Hu army's siege of the city now, there is no difference between it and those grass robbers?
Chen An arched his hand and replied: "The last general once went out to encounter Hu Kou, and saw that their military appearance was different from today. Selfishly, Hu Kou was afraid that the Metropolitan Governor and Governor Zhen would scratch his back, so he was too late to prepare, and he hurriedly came to attack the city. Then he comforted: "Dali City is high and dense, the city is well guarded, and the three thousand troops led by the last general are also many Qinzhou Jianyong, when this enemy is in this situation, it is not difficult to defend it - Madam and relax." β
Xun Guanniang smiled and encouraged Chen Andao: "Although I am a woman in my boudoir, I have also heard of the general's brave name, and it resounded in Longshang, and there is a general to protect Dali, how can I be uneasy?" Just about to see the general break the thief and raise the prestige of our army! β
As soon as a few words were finished, Hu Jun had already entered the range of the defenders, Chen An waved his flag on the city tower, and when he gave an order, he immediately fired arrows like rain. However, Chen An was calm on the surface, and he was also beating the drum in his heart, he didn't expect that it was Liu Cang's main force that came, and now a little statistics show that the enemy is no less than 50,000 people, and he will definitely not be able to retreat by archery alone.
Dali City is big, 4,000 people go around the city for most of the circle, and it will be enough to defend - and it is impossible for the south of your city to be completely empty - there are really not many reserves left. Hu Jun is out of sight, if regardless of casualties, wheel attack, repeatedly pounce, at most three days, I am afraid that the physical strength of the soldiers in the city will be exhausted - no matter how brave the Qinzhou soldiers are, after all, there are only three thousand.
Before he entered the city, he had already sent a fast horse to chase Zhen Sui, but he really couldn't figure out how long it would take for Zhen Sui to return to the city.
Chen An is a strong general in Longshang, and he is the best at duel on the plains, fighting head-on, killing generals and capturing the flag, and he is really not good at defending the city. Maybe Tao Kan or Liu Yetang are in Dali, not only patting their chests and saying that they will be able to hold on, but their hearts are also stable, but Chen An is only calm on the surface, and it is inevitable that he will be up and down in his heart.
I can't help but secretly hate Zhen Sui, it's all your blind tricks, what kind of detours, division of troops, and I ended up in such a dangerous situation...... What's even more unfortunate is that Mrs. Xun is still in the city! I am outnumbered, even if I can't keep it in the end, I don't deserve to be a capital crime, but if my wife has three longs and two shorts, can Da Sima still spare me? It's really not possible, or I simply tied up the Xun family and opened the city to reduce Hu......
couldn't help but glance at the Xun clan - Xun Guanniang was looking at the battlefield outside the city, undecided.
Chen An completely relied on his unruly nature to support him, so he didn't immediately pull out the knife and gestured at Xun Guanniang's neck. He said in his heart that even if he wants to lower Hu, he has to wait until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and he will surrender before he fights, or if he doesn't lose, it will really damage my prestige Chen! On the same day, Pei Gai was borne, because Pei Gai had a righteous name in his hand, and he would get all the land of Qinzhou; If Hu is lowered today, will the soldiers of Qinzhou be willing to abandon their parents, wives and children to accompany them? After all, they are all temporary recruits, not veterans brought out by themselves!
If the Qinzhou soldiers disobey the order if they want to surrender, I am afraid that they will not be able to send the Xun clan out of the city smoothly...... And even if he votes for Hu, if the Qinzhou soldiers refuse to obey, they will be alone, can they be expected to be reused by the Han State?
And in a short period of time, he surrendered to the enemy twice before the battle...... What the hell is that my General Chen still needs to face!
So I secretly ordered a few relatives to follow, and take a good look at Mrs. Xun, so as not to get out of my control...... What to do, first guard for a few more days.

Guo Mo is in Pinyang, about 250 miles away from Haoyang, and it is only a three-day journey to the rapid march of four days, and it is only a three-day journey back and forth by fast horses to investigate the enemy's situation and deliver news. He then sent Beigong Chun, Luo Yao, Wen Lang, Liu Guang and other generals to lead cavalry to patrol near Shangluoshui, reconnoiter the movements of the Hu army, and instructed that if they encountered a small group of Hu troops, they would strive to raid and defeat them; When encountering the main force of the Hu army, Meng Lang should not be Menglang, and should immediately shrink back to Pinyang; If there are so many people like Liu Kui and Jin Kang before, you can try to disturb their luck and force them to return.
Liu Kui and Jin Kang wanted to lure Guo Mo out of the city to fight that day, but when they saw that Beigong was pure and wanted to break off, and Guo Mo also stopped hundreds of people from "counter-luring the enemy" - in fact, it was the remnants of Zhou and Jin, Guo Mo didn't go out of the city at all - in desperation, they shrank back to Haoyang City.
According to the exploration of Beigong Chun and other cavalry, the Hu army was roughly divided into four parts: Liu Cang's main force besieged Haoyang; Don't let Liu Ji go south, as if he wants to attack Dalicheng or Puban Ferry; Huyan guards the former base of the Jin people in the mountain pass; Li Jingnian stationed troops in Xia Yang.
According to Pei Gai's instructions, the various departments of Pinyang should wait until they saw the fire burning at the head of the city of Haoyang, so they hurriedly dispatched troops, crossed Shangluoshui in the east, and attacked Hulei with Zhen in the west and south. Although the Hu army was numerous, there was not enough food, and the army's morale was inevitably shaken; Although the Jin army is sharp, the number of troops is slightly small, and it is a stronghold that has been completed by storming - if you stop at this, the chances of winning this battle are actually not very good.
The key is that there are still more than 20,000 soldiers in the city of Haoyang, if when Guo Mo and Zhen Sui attack Hu Lei, the city will be opened, and the internal and external echoes will inevitably be overstretched.
Pei Gaiyuan was from the people, including the "Liangzhou Horse", and the soldiers were arrogant, thinking that unless the Hu army was twice as large as me and occupied a favorable location, as long as the command was appropriate, how could there be a reason why the battle could not be won? Of course, you ragtags have to stop pulling us back when the time comes......
-- Although they both belong to the three armies of the Great Sima, the Fenglin Volcano and the "Qiji" generally have to look down on the combat effectiveness of the "Thunder Battalion", especially the "Bashang Battalion".
Guo Mo, Li Yi and other old generals have competed with the Hu army for several years, and they have lost more than they won, although now they have "changed guns for guns", the quality and equipment of the troops have been greatly improved, and they dare not have the slightest neglect in the face of strong enemies. Therefore, after the banquet that day, Guo Mo summoned the generals from time to time, checked the map and even the sand table, and repeatedly discussed the success or failure of the battle.
Someone brought it up in the middle, saying that the situation here is very good, and I am afraid that Da Li Zhen will drop the chain there, and he will not be able to cooperate when the time comes......
