Body 407 Feint
Li Hong slowly walked up to Ge Xiyuan and the other Gan Wenchen, with a faint smile on his face, and his helmet was taken off by him at the same time, and thrown to Hua Meng, who was also wearing armor, and said easily: "Then may I ask Master Ge, then how do you tell me how to attack this Anshi City?" ”
"This ...... The minister only knows a little about the astronomical stars, so it is better for the minister to watch the stars tonight and ask for an auspicious day to attack the city, and then His Royal Highness will decide what? Ge Xiyuan didn't expect Li Hong to be so direct, and directly asked him how to attack the city.
As a military general, this should be the dignity that a military general should have, and he will not ask a civil servant at will, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, who has countless outstanding military exploits in Anxi.
The faint smile on Li Hong's face became colder and colder, and his eyes became sharper: "Since you still know that you are just a Taishi Ling, then you should know even more that soldiers and national affairs are also important things, can you interfere at will?" Since you've intervened and think I'm winning like this, you're giving Lone a good proposal? Didn't there be? You especially touched your upper and lower lips, and you vetoed the strategy of using troops on the battlefield, do you want to bear this responsibility? Since you don't take responsibility, shut up immediately! ”
"Your Highness, the minister has no such intention, the minister ......."
"Get out!" Li Hong shouted coldly, not only Ge Xiyuan was trembling with fright, but even the other Wenchen behind him couldn't help but feel excited.
The mild-mannered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on fire, especially in this battlefield atmosphere with bright armor and strict slaughter, which made them feel an unprecedented palpitation.
The Wenchen with Ge Xiyuan as the leader, looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a murderous aura, although he was just standing under the wall of Anshi City, but at this moment, he made them feel as if the pressure on them from this figure was greater than the wall of Na'an City on the other side, and it made them rush to be afraid.
With Liu Renliang, Xue Rengui, Qi Bi He Li, Li Jinxing and other generals, hearing Li Hong's cold reprimand, they couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
What is the most taboo thing about military generals? It is that Wenchen does not know how to pretend to know how to point fingers, and order out many doors, and this is not in today's Tang Dynasty war, it is not that he has not been born, and he will not be compatible, which is a taboo for marching and fighting, so that these generals are suffering, and now he is scolded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for these Wenchen, not to mention how comfortable they are in their hearts.
What's more, this expedition was led by His Majesty personally, and the pressure on these generals can be imagined how heavy.
Originally, he planned to take Anshi City with all his strength and break the embarrassment that the Tang Army could not break through Anshi City and reach Liujing, but he didn't want to, because after a heavy rain, the sharp weapon in the hands of Datang was not allowed to be used anymore.
Regardless of how Xue Rengui argued in the Chinese military account, the explosives were wet with rain because the military situation was urgent, and he wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold in Anshi City, so he did not wrap it in oil paper to cause the problem of dumb fire, as long as he ensured that he could break through Anshi City again.
However, this move was strongly opposed by the Wenchen with Ge Xiyuan, who believed that this was a warning from God to my Datang, believing that the explosives were contrary to the principles of heaven and earth, against the harmony of heaven, and even that this thing was ominous.
So in this way, Xia Zi trapped Li Zhi in a tangle, and even Ge Xiyuan moved out of the class after the first emperor fought here, thinking that the first emperor saw the disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty after continuing to fight here, so he returned to the dynasty.
Li Hong's appearance of killing made the civil officials tremble, but in the eyes of Liu Renliang and the others, His Royal Highness Li Hong was simply like a living Bodhisattva at the moment, and he knew that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came a little earlier, these generals would not be affected by these wretchedness.
It seems that he can't be good today, and there is no hope if he wants to be happy, so Li Hong directly ordered Xue Rengui behind him: "Choose two city gates from them and feint for half an hour." Liu Renliang and Qi Bi are on standby, take turns to feint, remember not to attack, even if the enemy has been left and right, revealing a flaw in the defense, it will never be allowed to attack the city. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Renliang, Qi Bi He Li, and Xue Rengui responded in a deep voice at the same time.
The three of them are all veterans of the war, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are old oilmen on the battlefield, but they still understand this truth, and now the enemy army has already arranged the second or even the third line of defense in the city, and these days the army has not carried out a harassing siege, which also gives the enemy more time to rest the defense line and repair the weak points of the city wall.
If the enemy army shows signs of weakness during your first siege, it can only mean that the enemy has deliberately left a gap, waiting for your men to jump into it, and then give you a second blow of confidence.
In this way, the most important thing for the besiegers is that because the failure of the first siege is likely to cause low morale among the soldiers, and it is impossible to attack again immediately.
Therefore, this is also why, in siege warfare, often the generals defending the city need to be aware of the battlefield acumen, and analyze with their own veteran experience whether the battle is a feint attack of the enemy or a real offensive of the enemy, so as to choose the reality of their defending forces.
For the besiegers, the probability of raiding a city is like winning the lottery in the last life, often the probability of this kind of surprise attack and surprise attack is very high, and the half-truth siege is used the most, but the probability of success is not very high.
After missing the enemy's first advantage in attacking the city after retreating into the city, the difficulty of attacking the city will increase exponentially with the passage of time.
The sound of trumpets and drums whined...... The sound of the drums with nodes, but not according to the conventional beating, with the sound of the horn and whimpering, during the siege of the city, in addition to being the order to attack, but also to disrupt the mentality of the enemy soldiers defending the city, causing them to be impetuous.
As Li Hong guessed, a large number of Dunjia were placed in the front row, and there was a rhythmic bloodthirsty shouting of killing in the battle array, and the soldiers in bright armor were lined up, like waves of the road, slowly surging towards the city of Anshi.
On the city wall, after the horn of the Tang army sounded, the rapid horn sounded, and the city was suddenly panicked, and some rolling stones, rolling wood, and bows and crossbows suddenly appeared at the battlements on the city tower, shouting in the mouth that Li Hong couldn't understand anyway, and looked at the siege waves below with hideous eyes, just waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range, and then began to shoot.
Li Hong, who had just taken over the sniper crossbow from Xue Rengui's hand again, under the gaze of some civil officials behind him, set up a sniper crossbow like a sniper rifle in the previous life, and the heavy and hard and cold sniper crossbow made people wake up from the earth-shaking shouting and killing.
The sniper crossbow that was erected in his hand did not move at all, as if it was fixed on Li Hong's two arms, and Hai Dongqing on his shoulders flapped his wings uneasily twice when the war drum just sounded, and after feeling that the master was not frightened, he quieted down, standing quietly on Li Hong's shoulder, looking at the dense soldiers like a tide, and looking up from time to time to look at the arrows that were the first to shoot down from the city.
"Buzz......." In front of Li Hong's eyes, there was a sound of a heavy bowstring breaking through the air after it bounced through the air.
The straight arrow was like a black lightning, leaving an afterimage in front of everyone's eyes, and then disappeared.
In less than a moment, above the head of Anshi City, a small general who was ordering to defend the city felt a hot pain in his chest as if he was being burned, and when he looked down, he saw that the tail of an arrow was still trembling in the air, and then slowly looked up.
Then the whole person fell from the top of the city as if weightless, and the city wall suddenly slapped on the ground because the corpse was about to fall, and there was a thick thud, and after splashing a burst of dust, it was motionless.
As Li Hong shot the first arrow, the sniper crossbow hidden in the shadows shot lightning-fast arrows one after another, and more than a dozen corpses began to fall down on the city wall like scattered dumplings.
At the top of the city, when he saw a few soldiers planted under the city, he did not pay attention in the panic, and said that it was because the city wall was too crowded and his own people were squeezed down, and he did not take it seriously.
But when an arrow grazed his helmet, he realized that the enemy had such strong archers, and that they could shoot at such a distance! This is definitely no less than the judgment of the archer of the Black Tooth Tsuneyuki.
The general, who was frightened into a cold sweat, lowered his body at the first time, and shot to his cheek with one hand, and when his hand touched the side of the helmet that was still a little hot, he couldn't help but almost sit on the ground, how powerful is this, how powerful is this, can shoot such a long distance, and such a powerful arrow!
Li Hong frowned, the importance of these dozens of sniper crossbows is self-evident, in a short period of time, no less than fifty or sixty corpses fell on the city, and this short-term chaos also bought Xue Rengui time to approach the city wall.
As the ** army approached the city, the ladder was also erected on the city wall at the first time, and some were just erected, and they were pushed away by the enemy's eyes and hands.
Some of them stood up for a long time, but they were still standing still, and no one even cared about the siege ladder, which showed that the enemy army was in a limited defense, and their generals had not yet seen whether this time the Tang army was really going to attack the city, or just a feint to test the strength of the defense.
The black arrows continued to cut through the air, shooting at the head of the city with a more dense sound than just now, although the accuracy was much worse than at the beginning, but at least after the intensity, so that the enemy had to beware of the cold arrows in the dark when defending, which could be regarded as relieving some siege pressure for the siege troops.
