Chapter 0698: The Wisdom of the Ancients
After decades of waiting, just to say 'I am a man from the Han family' to others, it hit everyone's tears in an instant.
Chen Yao, as well as the officials who followed Chen Yao, all cried together.
These officials originally thought that they followed Chen Yao to Shuozhou and Huanzhou, which was a kind of distribution.
Now, they don't have that kind of mind anymore.
They now feel more ashamed, and the glory that comes after being ashamed.
The old man was crying and crying, and when he saw that everyone was crying, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and wanted to help Chen Yao wipe the tears off his face, but he was afraid that his hands would dirty Chen Yao's white face.
He could only rub his hands dryly, and said uneasily: "What are you crying about...... Don't cry, it's a happy event, a great event, we should be happy......"
Seeing that everyone was crying non-stop, he would not comfort people, so he could only rack his brains to find a way to ease the atmosphere.
When it was over, I only came up with one way, and that was to hand everyone over.
The old man went out sideways, and said with some embarrassment: "Little old man go and tell the villagers the good news." ”
As the old man went from house to house, knocking on the door, calling people, and explaining.
Eventually, those who were hiding in the house came out timidly.
The adults were sad and joyful, and they gathered together to cry and tell the story of their own family.
The dolls don't understand why the adults are crying.
So they cried along with the adults.
You have to ask the dolls why they are crying?
Naturally, the dolls saw others crying, and they themselves cried too.
The sadness of more people naturally woke up Chen Yao and others who were immersed in grief.
They wiped away their tears and began to reassure the people.
In the end, Chen Yao appointed the old man as the head of the tun in the name of Shuozhou and Huanzhou, and also distributed a lot of grain, farm tools, and seeds to the people.
In addition, Chen Yao also settled a part of the people and entrusted the old man to take care of them.
The warm-hearted old man agreed, and invited Chen Yao to come and check on his work from time to time.
In short, after crying, there is more joy.
And this scene is being staged one after another in the various villages cleared by the rangers in Shuozhou, and it gradually has a tendency to spread to Shuozhou.
Whether it was the rangers led by Yan Tianzi, or the revival army led by Yang Da and the iron cavalry led by Yang Wu, they basically did not encounter any effective resistance on the way to the march.
When the news from the scouts and the rangers gathered in Yang Da's hands, Yang Da also understood the enemy's intentions.
Yang Da on horseback, holding the news of the scout's return in his hand, Yang Wu, who rode his horse side by side, smiled bitterly: "Our opponents are very smart, they know that we have rangers in our hands, and they are not afraid of their harassment tactics at all, so they chose to shrink all their forces and defend the city." This is for us to prepare one hard bone after another to gnaw. ”
Yang Wu pursed his lips and said: "Anyway, the Iron Cavalry under my command is doing the job of confronting the enemy head-on, and we are not good at siege warfare, and sending the Iron Cavalry to attack the city is an insult to the Iron Cavalry." ”
If Yang Wu's words were left in other armies, it would be easy to be labeled as a war-fearing person.
But Yang Da knew that Yang Wu was telling the truth.
The Iron Cavalry has been honed from its inception, to its birth, and then to its training.
Its purpose is to defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield.
Sending the costly Iron Cavalry to attack the city is not an insult, but a murder.
It's not that the Iron Cavalry can't take the city.
It's just that their heavy equipment determines that their siege is a weakness.
In siege warfare, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army could not exert their strength at all, and they could not achieve one enemy against hundreds.
Therefore, letting the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army attack the city is equivalent to throwing away the lives of Yang Qi's carefully selected men and horses, and maybe even throwing away a set of expensive equipment.
Yang Da can not do a loss-making business.
The fact that the Iron Cavalry could not intervene in the siege battle did not mean that the Iron Cavalry could not assist in the siege.
Yang Da thought about it a little, and he had a countermeasure in his heart, "The revival army is responsible for attacking the city, the iron cavalry is responsible for intercepting the main road and preventing the enemy's reinforcements from rushing to help, and the rangers continue to sweep."
Since the enemy has abandoned the countryside, there is no need for us to keep them any longer.
Since they like to pierce nails, then we will try to turn them into nails one by one, and get rid of them. ”
Yang attacked the city, Yang Wu surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and the remnants were cleared.
This set of tactics is just right for the current situation.
Yang Wu had no reason to refuse.
Immediately, he nodded in agreement with Yang Da's strategic arrangement.
Yang Da quickly sent someone to convey his order to the Fallen Son who was dozens of miles away.
In this way, under the sweep of the Fallen Tilter and the dredging road, Yang Da led the soldiers and horses and easily arrived in front of the first city in Shuozhou.
This is an old city, Yang Da can easily see the shadow of the city wall of the Han Dynasty from above, and judge the appearance of the Tang Dynasty buildings from the city gate tower.
Looking at the old city, Yang Da and Yang Wu shook their heads in unison.
Why do you shake your head?
Because the owner of this city is definitely an idiot.
Those who study history books will easily find in history books that when an army is attacking and fighting, it is rare for an army to bypass one city and attack the next.
They fought like pulling out a stake, conquering the past one by one.
The reason why I didn't bypass it was not because after bypassing, I was attacked by the city that bypassed behind.
Rather, it is because most of the ancient cities were basically built on the main transportation routes, either built on the mountains, or by the water, or by the forest, or on the road that the flat road must pass.
All in all, how to get in the way and how to build.
If this is in the future generations, blocking the road, especially blocking the highway to build a city, it will definitely be sprayed to death.
But in ancient times, it was the result of wisdom.
The reason why the ancients chose to build the city in this way is because it occupies the main communication route, and the enemy army cannot bypass it and attack the city that is easy to attack.
If you can't pull out a stake, don't think about pulling out the next.
Of course, occupying the main traffic arteries can't stop people who can walk on two legs.
So what is it to stop it?
Baggage!
No matter what period of war it is, as long as it is a war in which people participate, baggage occupies a great position.
In ancient warfare, baggage was even more important.
The castle built on the main transportation route can easily block the ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and donkey carts loaded with baggage that you want to pass.
Even if it makes you go through it with all your might.
The soldiers and horses in the city can easily sneak attack and escort the baggage team.
In the case of inconvenient transportation and transportation.
How could a team escorting a heavy load outrun the lightly armed enemy army?
And Yang Da and Yang Wu shook their heads in unison, just because the city lord of this city was a fool.
The city was clearly built during the Han Dynasty and during the Tang Dynasty.
The city that could be valued by the two dynasties was naturally occupied by a major transportation route.
The castle is built on hills, and on both sides of the castle, there are low hills.
Hills do not stop the horses and carts carrying heavy loads.
But Yang Da and Yang Wu could easily judge that on this original hill, there should be dense trees.
Don't enter the forest.
This is one of the great keys to the art of war.
In order to prevent the enemy from ambushing in the forest, or attacking with fire.
And the owner of this city, apparently clever himself, not only cut down the trees on the hills, and even uprooted the stumps, but also raised a thick green grass in the scene.
