Li Jishou welcomed Li Jiqian into the big tent of the Chinese army, and immediately began to report the battle situation.

"Brother, the wild beggar is cunning, and since he was severely injured by our army, he has been hiding in the city. The younger brother sent people to call for the battle again and again, but the wild beggar Ganbo refused to open the city gate to fight the decisive battle with the younger brother. ”

"Now you remember to be a shrunken turtle?"

Li Jiqian sneered, "It's late." ”

Li Jiqian said coldly with a hideous face: "Now that I have gathered the strength of the Li clan, if I can't eradicate the big trouble of the wild beggars. What face do I have to serve as the co-leader of the party? ”

Li Jisheng immediately asked for his life, "My brother is willing to be the pioneer and help my brother eradicate this big trouble." ”

Li Jiqian waved his hand, "Don't worry...... I not only want to eradicate the wild beggar Ganbo, but also give the Zhejia family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Daizhou a painful lesson. Let them remember my name, Li Jiqian. ”

"What's my brother's plan?"

"I'm here with a large army, what more strategy do I need? The army ran over, and where it passed, there was not a single grass left. ”

Li Jiqian announced domineeringly, and instructed Li Jizhu: "The 30,000 Zhejia army of the Zhe family is within Yinzhou, I order you to lead the 10,000 Dingyan army to exterminate this Zhejia army, are you willing?" ”

Li Jizhu knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "My brother will never give up." ”

"Okay, it's worthy of my Li Jiqian's younger brother."

Li Jiqian praised it, and then whispered with a gloomy face: "You should know that Deming's child and I were both killed by the thief's mother-in-law, and the yang root was broken, and Deming has no heirs. The inheritance of my Tuoba clan has fallen on you. When his soul returns to immortality, you are the co-leader of my party. ”

Li Ji was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Brother understands." ”

"Let's go down."

Li Ji left the Chinese army's tent in a hurry.

Li Jiqian stroked his fake beard, used a little too much force, pulled off a handful of long beards, and suddenly roared with resentment, "I must let your Yang family be removed from the northwest." ”

Li Jiqian asked Li Jisheng to lead a partial division of the Dingyan Army to exterminate the 30,000 Zhejia army led by Zhe Yuqing.

He himself commanded 20,000 Dingyan troops and 260,000 party cavalry to exterminate the wild beggars.

The army marched for a day and came to the front of the two armies.

"The army rests for the night, and tomorrow it will attack the city."

At the sound of the order, the 280,000-strong army set up camp outside the city of Guil, where the wild beggars were stationing.

The tents were connected and occupied dozens of miles.

Looking out from the walls of the city of Guel, what you see is a vast white tent roof, and a crowd of people and horses scattering in groups.

Head of the city of Guill.

Wang Gui was dressed in iron armor and looked out of the city.

Standing side by side with him was an old man who was over half a hundred years old.

Behind the old man, followed by a big man and a group of immature-looking students.

Wang Gui looked solemn and whispered to the old man beside him: "Old brother, this battle is not easy to fight......

An old brother clarified the identity of the old man.

The old man was invited by Wang Gui to come to help Wang Gui defend the city, and the big man who followed him was Mu Yu, and those immature students were the students in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy.

Lao Yang heard Wang Gui's words and pursed his mouth, "Since you, Wang Gui, have taken over this errand, you have to fight if you don't want to fight." Speaking of which, the old man really wants to ask you, what do you think, you actually let Ye Qi Ganbo retreat to Xiazhou City, and you yourself led the army to defend the city in this Guier City.

It stands to reason that although you have come to help the wild beggars in the war, you have not reached the point of giving them your life. ”

Wang Gui smiled implicitly: "I'm ashamed to say that I, Wang Gui, have been leading troops all my life. The number of men and horses under his command never exceeded 50,000.

Now that I have the opportunity to lead more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight, I am so excited. ”

When Lao Yang heard this, his face turned dark, "You mean, I have followed the old man for many years, and the old man has been pressing you and not giving you a chance to get ahead?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Wang Gui waved his hand again and again, "Old brother, the number of soldiers and horses under the command of you and me has never exceeded 50,000. This is destined, you and I can only be generals, but not handsome.

Now, if you have the opportunity to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and participate in a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people, don't you be tempted? ”

The corners of Lao Yang's mouth twitched, and he glared at Wang Gui.

To say that I don't want to be tempted is false.

As Wang Gui said, the two of them have been generals all their lives, but whenever they encounter a big war, they have always rushed to the front as vanguard generals.

Like the commander, they have never had the opportunity to lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight.

The reason why Lao Yang went here in person after receiving Wang Gui's letter was because he was tempted.

However, the heart is the heart.

After all, Lao Yang is a person who wants to save face.

Especially in front of his old subordinates and a group of students.

"Ahem......"

Lao Yang coughed, hid his embarrassment, glared at Wang Gui, and said, "It's ...... talk about the war."

Wang Gui snickered and nodded, "Brother thinks, how should this battle be fought?" ”

Lao Yang stood at the head of the city with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Jiqian's army outside the city, his expression was slightly solemn.

Jokes are jokes.

Once involved in the war, Lao Yang will become more cautious and serious than ever.

"The enemy is outnumbered, hold on, surprise attack, and use it. Fang is the way to break the enemy. Li Jiqian's army of 280,000 was hoarded in one place, and there were many people. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

An army of 280,000 people, which is eaten by horses and chewed, and the grain and grass consumed in a day is a huge number.

Therefore, the old man can conclude that Li Jiqian will definitely not drag us down.

He will definitely fight quickly at the cost of losses.

Before, you let the wild beggars do the hard wall and clear the wilderness, which is very good.

Fight hard with Li Jiqian, we will definitely not be able to fight.

Therefore, what we have to do now is to stick to every city in Xiazhou.

As long as Li Jiqian can't break through the city, he can't think of getting a grain of food.

In the long run, consumption will also consume him. ”

Lao Yang's words were not for Wang Gui, because these things, as a veteran, Wang Gui could naturally easily see them.

Lao Yang's words were told to the students behind him.

"Guel City is the bridgehead of Xiazhou, hold Guel City, and Li Jiqian's army will be dragged here. All he can do is use crowd tactics to constantly wear down the troops in the city of Guel.

Or divide the army in many places to sneak attack other cities to feed the army.

Now, there are 100,000 soldiers stationed in Guier City, which can be consumed with Li Jiqian.

However, the old man was worried that the other cities might not be able to hold on.

Once the other cities could not hold on, Li Jiqian could scavenge grain and grass from other cities to feed the army.

If he really scavenged enough food and grass, he will be trapped by the time comes.

The situation would turn around in an instant, and we would be the people who had been consumed. ”

Wang Gui said solemnly: "Brother can rest assured. Li Jiqian used the strength of the whole clan to deal with the wild beggar Ganbo this time. Ye Qi Ganbo was not to be outdone, and raised the strength of the whole clan to deal with Li Jiqian.

At present, Yeqi Ganbo has gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe and stationed them in various cities.

The strength of each city was about 30,000.

Moreover, in order to prevent accidents, I have already transferred a group of generals from the Datong army and sent them to each city to assist the generals of the Yeqi tribe to defend the city.

I believe that with them, nothing will go wrong. ”

Lao Yang nodded slowly, "That's very good, in this war, the most feared thing is a fire in the backyard." Since you have all the arrangements, then the old man won't interject too much.

However, the old man looked at Li Jiqian's army outside the city, all of which were stationed outside the east city gate. Therefore, the old man can conclude that tomorrow Li Jiqian will attack the city, and the main army will inevitably storm the east gate.

Therefore, most of the baggage in the city of Guel, such as rolling logs, stones, arrows, etc., can be tilted towards the soldiers of the eastern city.

Chengnan should also be more guarded, Mu Yu, you can go to Chengnan to help. ”

Hearing this, Mu Yu nodded.

"Okay."

Nothing was said all night.

Next.

The sky was bright, Li Jiqian sat on his exclusive frame, led the army, and drove to the city of Guill.

There was not a word of superfluity.

As the overlord of the party, there is no need to say too much to boost morale.

Standing there, he was the biggest morale booster.

"Siege!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers and horses under his command poured into the city of Guel like a tide.

Li Jiqian's distribution of soldiers and horses for the siege was almost exactly the same as Lao Yang guessed yesterday.

The east gate became the main target of attack for Li Jiqian's soldiers and horses.

The terrain from the east gate to the south gate is relatively flat.

Therefore, the South City Gate became the secondary siege object of Li Jiqian's troops.

As for the soldiers and horses of Li Jiqian's troops at the west city gate and the north city gate, although there were many of them, they were basically feints.

On the East City Gate.

Wang Gui shouted loudly, mobilizing the soldiers and horses on the city to meet the enemy.

Lao Yang took the students of the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy to watch the battle in the city, and while watching the battle, Lao Yang explained to the students.

"You see, although the party members are numerous, their methods of attacking the city are very primitive. Except for the ladders, siege chiseles, and trebuchets that have been used for thousands of years, there are almost no other ordnance uses.

In comparison, the Liao people are much better than the party people in this regard.

Since the founding of the country, the Liao people have been learning from the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the Liao people have a lot of siege equipment, in addition to the most primitive three, the Liao people also have siege crossbows, climbing vehicles, etc., many siege equipment.

Its utility is far more beneficial than the three most primitive things.

At the same time, it can also maximize the advantage of troops. ”

Some students asked Lao Yang suspiciously, "What about Da Song?" ”

When it comes to Da Song's equipment, Lao Yang is reluctant to mention more.

said vaguely, "It's about the same as Liao......"

It's not that Lao Yang hides his secrets, but in the depths of Lao Yang's heart, he always feels that no matter how Yang Qi goes in the future, he is still a member of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he didn't want the students he handed over to command the soldiers and horses to slaughter the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, when mentioning some things in the Great Song Dynasty, Lao Yang always bypassed.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Yang continued to explain the siege of the party to the students.

Outside the city, Li Jiqian's soldiers and horses have been killed under the city, although they are numerous, but they are subject to the rudimentary siege equipment, so many people rush to the city, there will be a short stop, they will wait until the soldiers and horses one step ahead of them climb the ladder, they will climb the ladder.

Lao Yang pointed to the black-pressed soldiers and horses gathered under the city and said: "Due to the primitive siege equipment, the soldiers and horses of the party members will have a short stop after rushing to the city.

They would wait until the people before them had climbed the ladder before them, and then they would climb the ladder one by one.

It is precisely because of this that when the party members attacked the city, they had no other way than to use the tactics of crowds.

They would climb the ladder and climb the top of the city by means of a non-stop army of soldiers, so as to drain the armaments used to stop them and drag down the defenders of the city.

As long as there is a trace of slackness in the soldiers and horses on the head of the city, let the party members board the city.

They will quickly expand their gains. So as to achieve their goal of occupying the city. ”

The students watched the battle according to what Lao Yang said, and what they saw was exactly what Lao Yang said.

The way the party members went to the city to fight was exactly the same as what Lao Yang said.

The mighty sea of people kept pouring up to the city.

Wang Gui led the army at the head of the city, constantly killing.

The impact of the party members is going forward and successively, as if it will never stop.

Lao Yang pointed to Wang Gui, who was commanding the battle, and explained to the students: "Look at the defenders on the city, the defenders on the city are divided into three waves, and after one wave is tired, the other wave will be connected, and so on. The soldiers will not feel tired, and they will be able to give better play to their combat effectiveness.

Generally, generals and colonels who have just entered the battlefield will pile up all their troops in front of them when they are fighting against the enemy.

This approach is effective against a small number of enemies.

You can use the disparity in strength to deter the enemy.

But when there are more enemies than you, you're looking for death.

Once the enemy uses crowd tactics against you, and your men and horses are tired after a long battle, or there is a gap.

The enemy will find your weak spot and break through your defenses. ”

A group of students bowed to Lao Yang in unison, "Students are taught." ”

A large-scale battle was regarded by Lao Yang as a teaching battle.

Lao Yang took the students to inspect the four city gates, and when they arrived at one of the city gates, he would analyze the situation, the art of war, and the strategy for the students.

In fact, from Lao Yang's point of view, Li Jiqian's siege battle was really not very good.

There's nothing new from start to finish, and there's nothing amazing about it.

Decent.

In the case of the abundant troops of Guier City, Li Jiqian attacked the city like this, and it was basically impossible to take Guil City.

Therefore, Lao Yang is not worried at all that Guill City will be breached.

Lao Yang was strolling around teaching the students, but Wang Gui was very tired.

At the beginning of the war, Li Jiqian had the mentality of a quick victory.

Therefore, from the moment of the siege, the army besieging the city under the city never stopped.

Even if Wang Gui divided his soldiers and horses into three waves in advance, and after many expeditions, the soldiers also entered a state of exhaustion.
