The distance is getting closer and closer, and the Fuqiang Walled City can already be seen clearly, and even the Song army on the city wall can faintly see its face in the sunlight. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the party and the army ran under the city, but there was still no movement in the city.

I don't know how long it took, but the attacking party army felt as if it couldn't be finished. Just when his spirit was a little relaxed, suddenly a low horn on the head of the city pierced the silence.

As soon as the horn sounded, the earth-shattering drums sounded. As soon as the drums sounded, a rain of arrows like flying locusts fell.

The armor-piercing arrows sent out by the crossbow directly threw the party soldiers who rushed to the front to the ground like straw, and the people behind kept walking, stepping on the fallen corpses, and rushed straight forward. Only by passing through this dangerous area as soon as possible, and getting close to the city wall, the defenders' vision is not wide, and the shooting blind spot is the time to breathe.

The adjutant general licked his chapped lips, and he didn't care about the situation of the soldiers around him, so he could only rush forward quickly. There was no signal to retreat from the rear, so the only way to do this was to rush through the death zone as soon as possible and rush to the city gates.

Du Yuanji held the binoculars in his hand, looked at the party troops who kept rushing forward, and pursed his lips.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, it is impossible to fire a few rounds of arrows, and most of the incoming thieves will rush to the city. When you get to the city, the effect of the bow and crossbow is limited, and if you have the kung fu of opening the bow and releasing arrows, it is better to throw a few more stones and pour a few more spoonfuls of boiling oil.

There is artillery on Fuqiang City, and it is impossible for Xu Ping, this killing weapon, not to be used in the army. However, artillery that fires solid shells has limited lethality against enemy troops that are not densely formed, so it is better to use them without them. When the war is fierce, it will naturally be useful for them.

In just a few breaths, a party army rushed to the bottom of the city, clinging to the base of the wall to avoid the arrows.

Du Yuanji was unmoved, but just observed the movements of the burying army in the distance through the telescope. As long as the army there does not move, the party troops who rush over will be the enemy of ringworm and can only be killed.

The adjutant finally rushed under the city wall with the brigade, let out a sigh of relief, and stood up and shouted: "Go to the city gate!" We didn't bring ladders, we couldn't go up the city walls, we all went to attack the city gates! ”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a spoonful of hot oil poured down on the wall and sprinkled it on the head of the lieutenant. Although there is a pocket to protect it, it is inevitable that the oil star will splash on his hands and face, and it hurts his heart, as if the piece of skin is suddenly gone.

Li Chengqing shouted as the soldiers on the city wall sprinkled hot oil below, and ran towards the city.

On the city tower, Li Chengqing said to Du Yuanji, who had been watching the enemy brigade: "Command, most of the thieves have arrived at the city, and they will attack the city gate immediately." The last general asks for orders and leads the team out to kill them! ”

Du Yuanji didn't reply, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, wait for the thieves to gather at the city gate again, and they will all squeeze together, so that they can cook!" The thieves who came to attack the city did not have reinforcements, so they should have come to tempt, so they didn't need to worry too much. If we can eat most of this group of thieves, the party members will not dare to attack the city like this, and they will inevitably prepare siege equipment. How can you go up the mountain to cut trees, build stone cannons, and build ladders? If they fight well, they can only attack so once! ”

In the handsome tent of Xu Ping of the Longzhong clan, Xu Ping sat on a chair, staring closely at the sand table in front of him, motionless.

Wang Kai couldn't help but lead people to change the position of the small flag on it, and it was obvious that the Yuzang Huama Department was slowly concentrating between Anyuan Village and Fuqiang Village. At this time, the battlefield is not far from here, and the soldiers who transmit military information on the road will relay, and the battlefield situation will be summarized into the commander's tent for more than an hour.

The sun shone in through the window, and the tent was much brighter and warmer. Xu Ping turned around, squinted at the sun for a while, and suddenly said: "It's almost time, the party army should have begun to ambush Qiangzhai, Gao Daquan has already dug the dam, released water to flood the thieves of the Longzhong clan, and Yang Wenguang's department should also reoccupy Gangu City." ”

Wang Kai looked at the situation on both sides at the table and nodded: "It should be so." Marshal, how this battle will be will depend on whether the various armies can complete their military orders as scheduled today. If all goes well, then the enemy will be able to be wiped out! ”

Xu Ping nodded lightly and shook his head again: "That's what I said, but who in the world can do everything?" The most important thing is not that we have calculated everything, but that we have enough strength to deal with the unexpected that happens. The more than 6,000 people in the tall and complete department of the Longzhong clan here are our strength to deal with accidents. It's just that the water we put in it needs to flow as expected, and the valley is dry enough. If the water accumulates somewhere in the river, it will still be a trouble. ”

There is little rain in autumn and winter, and it is not easy to build a dam to store the water of this small river, but there is no extra room to do an experiment to see if the river is smooth. At that time, whether the whole department of Gao Da could enter the Sandu River Valley smoothly, Xu Ping was not sure.

Xu Ping turned to look at the sunlight outside the window, and suddenly asked Wang Kai: "Supervising the army, what is the most important thing about the two armies fighting each other?" ”

Wang Kai didn't think about it, and said: "Up and down are of the same heart, bravely kill the enemy!" ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Prison Army, saying this is actually equivalent to not saying it." Putting aside these imaginary things, the two armies are facing each other, and the most important thing is who can control the battlefield. Where to assemble, where to fight, even if the war is unfavorable, you can change the battlefield at any time, this is the most important thing. The most important thing is to control the battlefield, not only to know how to fight on this battlefield, but also to allow them to do a variety of tricks how the enemy army fights here. In the midst of strategizing, and winning a victory thousands of miles away, it is not to turn the war book and think of some clever schemes, but to control the battlefield thousands of miles away. The two armies confronted each other, 1,000 against 1,000, 10,000 against 10,000, whether it was the party or the Khitan, the forbidden army of this dynasty did not fall behind. But when a big war starts, you can't always fight according to your own ideas. The Pingrong Wanquan Array uses 100,000 soldiers, but it is only dozens of miles longitudinal, and the Khitan cavalry comes and goes freely, and they don't confront your army at all, so what can I do? If 100,000 soldiers are used in a radius of tens of miles, then hundreds of miles of land other than these tens of miles will fall into the hands of the enemy, and how can they not be defeated? This time, we can start a war in Sanduchuan as we wish, and the most beneficial thing for us is to control the battlefield of 100 miles, and what the battle looks like, everything is up to me! ”

Wang Kai said: "The marshal often says, 'Battle after battle, the art of war is constant; The use of wonderful, in one mind', that's what it means. ”

"Yes, the battle after the battle is when the control of both the enemy and us on the battlefield has been stabilized and there is no other choice, and the battle is lined up to face each other head-on. If you are forced by the enemy to line up and face each other head-on, you will already be defeated, and you can only hope to survive after death. On the other hand, if the enemy is forced to fight in the rear, then half of the battle will be won, and it will be enough to fight steadily. The battlefield is unknown, and when you see the enemy, you will fight after the battle, which is the inferior. This time, we have taken advantage of the time and place, if we can't completely annihilate the enemy who came to attack, alas, to tell the truth, if we want to plot against Lan and Huizhou, I will have no bottom in my heart. ”

Fighting a war is sometimes like gambling, at the beginning with a lot of confidence, feeling that everything is under control, but at the end of the day, when it comes to turning over the hole cards, there is always a lot of anxiety.

Wang Kai said: "The festival commander is too worried, everything is expected by us at this time, there will be no accidents!" ”
