Chapter 104: The Rain Passes and the Sky Clears
This bait may not be so attractive to others. But for Pang Wanchun, it is a must-win, you must know that Fang La is a family that relied on Manichaeism. Becoming an apologetic king indicates that there is hope for a new generation of Manichaean leaders.
That's the horror of religion, a lifelong effort as a faithful Manichaean, which isn't going toward the heart of Manichaeism.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. The same applies here, a believer who does not want to be a leader is not a good believer. Not only that, once he becomes the Protector of the Dharma, even if it is a separation, he can gather a part of the disciples to fight against the original sect leader Fang La. The horror of fanatical believers is precisely the death hole of Pang Wanchun.
Fang Baihua was the bait, and Pang Wanchun, who originally had the idea of watching the battle on the wall, instantly changed from active to passive. It has become the core force of the attack on Yangzhou City, according to the current comparison of troops. And the one-eyed dragon relied on the unattainable and solid walls of Yangzhou City, and this battle was destined to be a long-lasting and thankless tug-of-war.
Compared with Baihua's hard-nosed encounter, Pang Wanchun is scheming, feint on the surface, but secretly digging tunnels in the camp.
At first, the one-eyed dragon was attacked a few times and was almost killed by it.
In the end, Gao Shide personally ordered to dig a deep well every ten zhang around the city tower, and buried a water tank underground, which was covered with cowhide. Send someone to listen. When the enemy digs a tunnel with a hoe, it is heard clearly from a certain distance. After discovering the enemy army digging a tunnel, they generally dig a horizontal line and set fire to the hole to fill it with water.
The one-eyed dragon did a very good job of defending the city, and it could almost be said that it was leakless. But if it goes on like this, it won't work, and the soldiers are exhausted.
At that moment, Gao Shide put forward another plan, collected the carrier pigeons in the city, tied the letters, and threw them in the direction of the north while the night was blowing.
This secret action still made Pang Wanchun intercept a few.
The letter is nothing more than that Yangzhou is in danger, there is a shortage of food in the city, seeking support, and so on.
In fact, at this time, there were still 20,000 soldiers with armor in Yangzhou City, and it would be no problem to eat food for three or five years. This is all the legacy left by Chen Guan's father and son before, but now they have been confiscated by Gao Shide as armaments.
Gao Shide actually wanted to tell Pang Wanchun a false news, so that he mistakenly thought that there was really a shortage of food and people in the city. In this way, there is a good chance that Pang Wanchun will choose to besiege rather than attack. In order to trap Gao Shide's style, this will also give the soldiers in the city a chance to breathe. Second, if the message is really sent, it will be received by the friendly forces in time. If there were more than 100,000 or 200,000 reinforcements, wouldn't the siege of Yangzhou still be solved.
Although Gao Shide has fought against Pang Wanchun, he doesn't know much about this person. After all, according to Gao Shide's vision in the past, he might only study Fang La. Others are not taken seriously by him at all, but now the previous setback makes him dare not underestimate the heroes of the world.
As the saying goes, there is a sky outside the sky, and since you can cross it, maybe there are ghosts and gods in this world. As the saying goes, there are gods who raise their heads three feet, and the current Gao Shide can be described as a bird with a frightened bow.
This was originally Gao Shide's life belief, but now he is a little suspicious. Carefully picked up the Art of War in his hand, as well as the Thirty-six Strategies.
watched the first of the thirty-six strategies hide from the world, but he just smiled bitterly and pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.
With the selfish heart of a dead friend who does not die and a poor man, Gao Shide can only mourn for Pang Wanchun for three minutes.
"General, this is a carrier pigeon intercepted by our scouts." Lin Zhen, a subordinate of Pang Wanchun, handed over the carrier pigeon that his men had caught.
Pang Wanchun did not hesitate to take out a letter from the pigeon's leg, and after reading it for a long time, he didn't see the reason.
Instead, he threw it to the staff next to him, a skinny middle-aged man.
"General, this is a letter from the Song army asking for help." It turned out that in order to be realistic, Gao Shide used the encryption circulated within the Song Army. This middle-aged staff member was originally acting as a clerk in the Song army, and was captured by Pang Wanchun in a battle, but in order to save his life, he leaked the secrets of the army.
"Asking for help, interesting." Pang Wanchun took a sip of soju and said with a sneer.
As soon as this news came out, the results were immediate. is worthy of being a fierce general in the Fangla army, and he has always thought that he is brave and strategic. He has never tasted defeat in his life, and he is quite conceited. Follow the example of the ancients, for the three missing one. But he didn't want to force Gao Shide to jump over the wall and fight him to the death. On the contrary, he opened up the distance and made a trapped posture, which was in the arms of Gao Shide.
On the other side, the Song court army that fought a decisive battle with the main force of Fang La, Guan Sheng was defeated, Hu Yanzhuo was killed, and the entire south of the Yangtze River was lost. Only Gao Shide was left to defend Yangzhou and occupy this strategic town in the north. Shocked by the government and the opposition, Song Weizong Longyan was furious and sent Zhang Shuye to lead 100,000 forbidden troops south.
For a while, the entire Jiangnan battle situation began to change again, and Fang La had to concentrate his troops and transfer troops to resist.
Of course, Pang Wanchun's department outside Yangzhou City was no exception, leaving only Fang Baihua to insist on refusing to leave. Fang La said that he was helpless against this sister who insisted on going her own way, so she let it go. However, leaving Fang Baihua to fight outside Yangzhou City, this is also good to beware of Gao Shide sticking a knife in the back.
Zhang Shuye is worthy of being a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the overwhelming situation of the army is like a sea of mountains. All the way to attack the city and pull out the village, unstoppable, under Huizhou in January, under Muzhou in February, and three months to break Fang La in Xiangxi.
At this time, Fang Baihua did not have the previous spirit, and the tens of thousands of troops originally stationed outside Yangzhou City were like frightened birds. When he learned that Muzhou was broken, he turned pale with fright. In the end, he glanced at Yangzhou City fiercely and led the army to leave. But she rushed to Xiangxi to support Fang La, there was no way Muzhou was broken, but what she was most worried about now was her son who stayed by Fang La's side.
This son is the last pillar of her life.
This is also strange, as soon as Fang Baihua left like this, Gao Shide's internal injuries just healed. began to take over the military affairs in Yangzhou again, and this battle has to be said to be supported by the one-eyed dragon. Gao Shide looked at this old fellow and felt a little guilty in his heart.
"If you are like this, what more can you ask for!" Gao Shide patted the thin shoulder of the one-eyed dragon, full of grateful praise.
"The general is serious, and the old decay is deserved." Seeing that Gao Shide rarely saw such sensationalism, the one-eyed dragon also looked like a master outside the world, and said a few words modestly.
"Load." As a result, Tie Jian came to such a sentence coldly, but it broke the original embarrassing atmosphere.
