The envoy's words immediately fell silent in the main hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Han army dared to attack two Western Regions powers at the same time, and this was no longer a matter of arrogance.
"Is there a lot of Han troops outside the city?" Someone asked.
"Not much, there are hundreds or thousands of people at each city gate, just loosely surrounded, surrounded by cavalry of the Han army, but there are not many. I really don't know what the confidence of the Han army is, but all the countries in the Western Regions are afraid of it. ”
"Because Liu Zhang can summon the heavenly thunder. According to the horse bandits who came from the east, Ma Tenghu was killed by thunder. It's useless to have a lot of people. How many Xiliang troops were in Ma Teng Han Sui, and how many Huns were in Huchuquan and Liu Bao, and they were not all wiped out. ”
"You say so, then can we only tie ourselves up and find Liu Zhang to ask for guilt?"
The civil and military forces in the hall, after a short silence, quarreled again.
"Okay, what's the noise!" King Dawan shouted angrily.
"The Han army is coming from afar, we still hold on well, maybe after a small setback of the Han army's spirit, or the Han army is willing to sit down and talk to us." Daxiang suggested.
"Yes, three hundred years ago, the 100,000 army of the Han army was not defeated by my fortified city. If it weren't for the despicable Han people who cut off our waterways, the Han army would have been in vain. At present, my Guishan City is no longer the Guishan City of the day, not only is it stronger, but also countless wells have been dug in the city, I don't believe that the Han people can still have any way to break through my Guishan City. We will wear them down with the Han army and consume them. ”
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Lord Xihou, I forgot to say just now, that Wei Yan has already given an ultimatum, saying that the time left for us to surrender is only one day. From now until tomorrow morning, the people in the city and others can flee for their lives to the west, and the farther they can escape, the better, and they will not intercept them. Tomorrow, when Shen Shi, the siege will begin, and the passage of the west gate will also be blocked, and it will be difficult to escape. ”
The messenger made another astonishing news.
Everyone secretly scolded the bastard in their hearts, how could such an important news only come out now. For a while, the entire aura in the hall was a little unstable. Many people are starting to think about whether to hurry up and run away.
"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! So many of us, were we frightened by thousands of Han troops? ”
"Your Majesty, just block the West Gate directly, who dare to escape? The Han army's move is just a deliberate way to let us live, so as to break the heart of our army, our army can only defeat the Han army if we have no way to survive, unite as one, and fight to the death with the Han army! ”
"What Lord Xihou said has some truth, but in order to protect the fortune of the country, it is better to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, lead the heirs of the various departments, leave first, take refuge in the west for a few days, and wait until the war is over and then come back. What does Your Majesty think? ”
"No way!" Before King Dawan could speak, the Marquis of the main battle just now immediately jumped out and objected: "As soon as the mouth is opened, it will be like a flood bursting the embankment, and it will be out of control, and the army's spirit will be gone." The West Gate must be blocked immediately! ”
"No, since there is a glimmer of life, it is better to have a vein of hope, the fate of the country, and you can't gamble!" Immediately, a large group of people came out to oppose it.
Looking at the performance of the ministers below, King Dawan couldn't help but sigh secretly, Pang Long Wei Yan is a master, just a few words can make the ministers lose their fighting spirit, and Dawan is in danger. The Han army's high-profile display of strength made people suspicious, but it left a glimmer of life and broke everyone's heart to fight to the death. If you forcibly kill yourself, you are not making enemies of the Han army, but of your own people. If it is endless, I am afraid that the army will have no fighting spirit, the people will not have the fighting spirit, and the day of defeat will not be far away.
"Rat-eyed people, if Guishan City is broken, do you think those who fled can escape the pursuit of the Han army? How our ancestors were able to defeat the Han army was not by desperate resistance. Your Majesty, you must immediately order the sealing of the West Gate! ”
"Your Majesty, you can't help but take precautions!" Daxiang immediately came out and reminded implicitly.
The so-called lesson from the past is that when the Han army conquered Dawan twice, the ministers of Dawan saw that Dawan was not guaranteed, and finally pushed out the then king of Dawan as a scapegoat to eliminate disasters for everyone. If you don't give everyone a way out, it will be difficult to ensure that the mistakes of the past will be repeated, and the ministers will not betray the king again.
The ministers all bowed their heads and were silent, only slandering in their hearts, the time given by the Han army was only one day, and now a lot of time has passed, time is urgent, everyone is still arguing here, seal it or not to make a decision, as for how to escape, each depends on their own ability.
King Dawan pondered for a long time, and finally decided: "Since we have already set up troops in the city and are ready to fight to the death, we can't look ahead and backward, and be intimidated by the enemy's words. Order the city defense camp to immediately seal the gate of the West City, there must be no mistake! ”
There are endless disputes in Dawan City, but Pang Long Wei Yan does not have these troubles, and the two of them are taking their subordinates and colonels to investigate the battlefield and analyze the enemy's situation.
"I thought that the lord had picked up the fat by himself, and threw us a bone without nutrition, but I didn't expect to see it, only to know that there is still a lot of meat on this bone, and it is not so easy to gnaw, no wonder I dare to disobey my Han's command."
"Old Wei, just look at this city. Why did the Han army make two expeditions to Dawan back then, which lasted more than four years, and they all hated the city. The first time, more than 20,000 people, almost all of them died in the Western Regions, the second time more than 60,000 troops were levied, the civilian service money and food were innumerable, and the Guishan City was attacked for more than 40 days, and finally the water source of Guishan City was cut off, which forced Dawan to have his own civil strife and tied up the king to surrender. Our Han army has always had a lot of experience in offensive and defensive combat preparations, and attacking and defending the city is the strength of our Han army compared to the Huns. Although there are also drawbacks of expeditions, I have to admit that this city is indeed a fortified city.
The city in my Han Dynasty is mostly built with rammed earth or blue bricks, there are very few such stones, and the city in my Han Dynasty, the urn city is mostly built with wood, it can be attacked by fire, there is very little wood here, it is all built with stone bricks, the urn city is like the castle painted by the teacher, it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to invade by water and fire.
It's a pity. ”
"What a pity?"
"I now know why the teacher advocates building an open city, and why he wants us to keep the enemy out of the city gates."
"Why?"
"Because there is no impregnable fortified city in this world! Only the hearts of those who cannot be attacked! No matter how high and strong the city is, if the people's hearts are not aligned, it is just a pile of rubble. With the advancement of weapons, it will be difficult for all fortified cities to be fortified again. Only openness is not only fighting for offense, defense and defense, but also for people's hearts. (To be continued.) )
