"Knock Knock Knock .........."

Early the next morning, the Tang Army camp outside Jianzhou City had already sounded the sound of the generals' drums, and when they heard the rapid drums, the generals above the rank of lieutenant went to the Chinese army's big tent one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the last lieutenant arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, the drum had already thought of it for the third time, according to the regulations of the Tang Army, from the time when the drum of the general was sounded, it was struck every half a column of incense time, that is, every fifteen minutes, and after three times, if there were still no generals who came to report, they would all be dealt with for contempt of military law and beheaded for public display.

Of course, it is not without exceptions, and the coach retains the grace of not killing for certain purposes, which also exists.

"Yes, all the generals are quite timely, today you will gather all the generals over, you should understand, what is the so-called, a group of rebels in Jianzhou City, do not know the number of days, actually dare to kill my officers and soldiers, occupy my city, this is a great rebellion, originally the governor of Bendu thought that the current Holy Son of Heaven is in power, in line with the virtue of a good life, want to give them a way to live, but they don't want to, they actually ignore it, until now, only to kill to stop killing, completely eradicate this group of traitors, for Jianzhou, for Lingnan, for the stability of my Tang Dynasty, Establish meritorious deeds, I don't know what the generals think. Looking at the generals covered with big tents, Duan Jian said in high spirits.

"The last general is willing to follow the general's tail wing and make contributions to my Tang Dynasty." Many generals shouted in unison.

Even some generals had a little joy on their faces, because they finally had a chance to make contributions and win promotions and fortunes.

"Qiyu Dudu, the first battle of this siege, no matter what, must be carried out by the last general, the last general, as the general of the defeated army, will lose Jianzhou, let them fall into the hands of the rebels, this time no matter what, we must personally recapture Jianzhou, even if we die in the city of Jianzhou, there is no regret."

The first person to stand up and ask for war was none other than the original Jianzhou Commander Bledo.

At the beginning, Bredo finally escaped from Jianzhou City alone under the desperate resistance of many government soldiers, and later stayed in Fuzhou, which is not far from Jianzhou, this time Duan Jian led his troops south to recover Jianzhou, and Bredo, a general who was familiar with the situation in Jianzhou City, became his main consulting object.

Many generals present, although they all wanted to be the first to lead the troops to attack the city, but after Bredo stood up to ask for the war, they did not fight, after all, they are all colleagues in the officialdom, even if there is no friendship in peacetime, but the necessary rules still have to be paid attention to, people are the military captains of Jianzhou City Government, and now they want to atone for their crimes, no one can speak, if someone competes with him at this time, it will definitely be despised by others, after all, they are all people who lead the troops to fight, and no one dares to guarantee that they can always win the battle in this life, In case of this situation themselves, others will also fall into the ground, no one can accept it, push themselves and others, many generals not only did not fight for merit, but some people echoed it.

For Duan Jian, no matter who fights this first battle, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that as long as Jianzhou City is taken down, now that Bledor wants to fight, he is still so confident, how can he not agree.

"Okay, since General Bledor has this confidence, then the Governor of Pontus will not say anything more, I can only wish you victory in the first battle here, and if General Bredo can really go down to Jianzhou City in one battle, the Governor of Pontus will definitely report General Bredo's exploits to the imperial court." Duan Jian patted the case and said.

Everything in the military is done vigorously and resolutely, and this characteristic is common in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

After Duan Jian announced his disbandment, Bledor had already gone to gather his soldiers and horses, and stood in front of the camp with helmets and armor.

Not only Bledo's subordinates, but also the rest of the Tang soldiers were also assembled as a backup, whether it was to support Bledo's siege operations or to rescue his comrades at a critical moment.

"Brother Chen, do you think Bledor can win in one fight?"

Standing outside the barracks, witnessing Bledor leading more than 800 Fuzhou soldiers to rush towards Jianzhou City, Duan Jian quietly asked Chen Guotai beside him.

"Impossible, although the walls of this Jianzhou City are low, and the rebels in the city don't know how, but it is a little difficult to rely on these soldiers in Fuzhou, if it is the elite soldiers of Zhichong Mansion under the command of a certain one, maybe there is still some possibility." Chen Guotai shook his head and said.

As soon as he heard Chen Guotai's words, Duan Jian, who had some expectations in his heart just now, instantly became panicked, and said in a lost voice, "No, how can this be, if this is really the case, then Wouldn't it be very dangerous for Bledor and them, no, this battle can't be fought like this, otherwise it will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

Seeing that Duan Jian opened his mouth and was about to recall Bledor and the others, Chen Guotai had not yet spoken, and Zhou Xing on the side interjected, "Governor, by all means, this army's spirit can not be vented, and some dead and wounded people are nothing, as long as the morale is high, we can still win the battle, if you recall them at this time, the morale of these thousands of soldiers will be greatly reduced." ”

Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Duan Jian also felt very reasonable, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he watched the hot-blooded men in front of him die like this, and said again, "That's ......."

But as soon as his words came out, Chen Guotai on the side hurriedly said, "Dudu, you must not be soft-hearted, on the battlefield, it is a matter of life and death, and it is simply impossible to not die, although this Bredo may not be able to take Jianzhou City, it does not mean that he will fail, besides, even if he fails, it can be regarded as a meritorious service for our army, at least let our army understand the situation of the rebels in the city, which will be of great help to the next siege battle." ”

Listening to the rare coldness in Chen Guotai's words, although Duan Jian was helpless, he could only keep his mouth shut, at this time, he finally realized what it means to 'make a general succeed and ten thousand bones wither', no matter how much a general loves soldiers like a son, when they arrive on the battlefield, they will regard the soldiers as calm chess pieces, in their minds, the only goal is to defeat the other party and win, everything else is insignificant under this goal.

In the thousands of years of history of China, there are very few real unified countries, and these great unified countries, most of the powerful troops are infantry, which is also the characteristics of Chinese agricultural civilization, of course, it is not that the Chinese people are not good at cavalry, but that China has lacked a place to raise horses since ancient times, even if it was the Great Khan Iron Cavalry of the Xiongnu who fought the behemoth in the past, it was also in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the implementation of horse politics, there were enough war horses.

The rest of the dynasties of the Han people, such as the Song, Ming, and other Han people, all relied on infantry to fight the world, except for the Tang Dynasty, which was an exception, from the very beginning, Li Tang was the main medicine of cavalry combat effectiveness, especially the 'Xuanjia Army' led by Li Shimin, which has always been the top cavalry unit in history, relying only on thousands of 'Xuanjia Army' Li Shimin broke through the army led by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and once achieved a big victory.

Later, the Tang Dynasty, whether it was fighting with the Turks or with the aliens in the northwest and other places, also dispatched cavalry troops, which made the Tang Dynasty a powerful situation.

Of course, the main combat effectiveness of Datang is cavalry, and it cannot be said that Datang lacks infantry, on the contrary, although Datang's infantry is not as impressive as cavalry, it has also made great development on the basis of the previous one.

Although the Fuzhou soldiers led by Bledor can only be regarded as a third-rate army, they are also quite disciplined.

"Raise the Shield"

When the Tang army was five hundred cloths away from Jianzhou City, a brigade commander was heard shouting, and then, a pair of Tang troops in front of the army raised the big shield in their hands high with a brush, covering the top.

These shields are not pure iron, otherwise, let alone normal people, even Hercules can't get together, and even if they are raised, it will be difficult to last.

These shields were stapled together by skilled craftsmen after processing many different types of wood according to a certain thickness, not to mention the bows and arrows of today, and even the basic firearms of later generations may not be able to pierce them.

After raising the shield, the Tang Army, who was originally not fast walking, walked even more slowly, not because they didn't want to walk faster, but to test whether there were traps and other things on the ground.

It may be that Ma Cao and the others didn't think of it, or maybe even if they thought of it, they couldn't prepare at all, anyway, along the way, Tang Jun didn't find a trap.

Just when they were about to relax, they heard a low 'bumper' sound from the head of Jianzhou City.

If you are a battle-hardened veteran, you will definitely understand that someone in the city must be firing arrows when you hear this voice.

At this time, the Tang army was still two hundred steps away from Jianzhou City, and except for the famous archers in history, I am afraid that no one could shoot the arrow so far, and even if it did, it would have no lethality.

Although the sparse rain of arrows at the head of Jianzhou City did not hit any Tang Army, it fell far to the ground, but this situation still made some soldiers in the advancing Tang Army change their faces, they are all local government soldiers, let alone fighting, even big thieves are rarely caught, although the training is okay, but this psychology is still not strong enough.

"He's a milkman, what's the panic, this is not dead, it's all panicked, how to fight with the traitors for a while, tell you, a certain is the most particular about rewards and punishments, a while, who moves forward bravely, a certain must be greatly rewarded, who dares to retreat for no reason, a certain big knife will definitely not let you go, when the time comes, if you are hacked to death, don't blame a certain person for not explaining to you." Looking at the appearance of Tang Bing beside him, Bledo, who was eager to wash away his hatred, couldn't help but yell.

After another fifty paces, another brigade commander shouted, "Bow and arrow, ready." ”

At the sound of the order, the archers, who were only following behind the shield bearers, hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and aimed in the direction of the city.

Seeing that all the archers were ready, the brigade commander shouted "shoot".

At this point, the offensive and defensive battle of Jianzhou City officially began.

.........................

Just after the Tang army outside the city made the decision to take Jianzhou City strongly, Ma Cao and others were also standing on the head of the city with nervousness and excitement.

Especially after Bredo led the Tang Army to begin the siege of the city, their eyes widened one by one and they were ready for battle.

"Da Lang, now the Tang army only has this pair of men and horses to dispatch, and this pair of men and horses does not seem to have combat experience, it is better to let me lead my brothers out of the city to kill him, when the time comes, I will definitely be able to kill him by surprise, even if it will not let the imperial army suffer much loss, but it is enough to let them know how powerful our brothers are." Ge Da looked at the appearance of Bledo and the others under the city, and couldn't help but fidget and suggest to Ma Cao.

"Xiu's nonsense, do you really think that if you defeat the government soldiers of Jianzhou City, we will really be the first in the world, to tell you, compared with the elite of the real imperial army, we are not even a group of rabble, if the imperial army stationed at the border passes, not too much, as long as five hundred people, you can break through Jianzhou City in half a day, although most of the imperial army that comes now are government soldiers from all over the world, but have you seen it, in the Chinese army camp of the Tang Army, the army with bright clothes and armor and no movement, It must be the elite of the Ojichong Mansion.

Now they didn't make a move, just to let this group of government soldiers test our details, if you go out to kill now, the Tang army will definitely be prepared, how can you become our killer weapon, without a killer weapon, how do you think we can still defend this Jianzhou City. ”

Ma Cao, who is usually quite indulgent to Ge Da, reprimanded him very harshly at this time.

After a reprimand, Ge Da no longer dared to distinguish in the slightest, and quietly found a secluded place and hid.

"Hide, hide."

When the archers of the Tang army began to attack, the victims above the city were unprepared, not that they were not afraid of death, but they had not experienced this kind of thing at all, although under the shouts of Ma Cao and others, many victims cleverly hid, but there were still some careless victims, traumatized, fortunately, the Tang army was too far away from the city wall, and they were shooting from the bottom to the top, the accuracy was not high, and the victims were not injured much, five or six died, and more than ten were injured.

Even so, it also made Ma Cao and others feel distressed, you know, their strength was not much, 5,000 victims, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled people who died when they attacked Jianzhou City last time, there are more than 1,000 people left, these people are used to defend the city, it is already very limited, and now every person who dies makes Ma Cao extremely annoyed.

Passive beating is certainly not a good way to defend the city, just after the Tang army launched an offensive, Ma Cao also organized the disaster victims, and shot sharp arrows at the city, although these disaster victims have not learned bow and arrow, but a strength is still there, besides, on the battlefield, you don't need to have how clever you are, anyway, everywhere is the enemy, and whoever you shoot is the same.
