On September 30, the Longwu Army, which had been engaged in siege operations for three consecutive days, finally got the order to rest and recuperate, and the whole army returned to the rear camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Get up, get up, the commander has come to visit the soldiers! Get up quickly, stand still, and prepare to salute the commander," a dragon warrior general ran ahead, shouting at the soldiers who were sitting in the camp chatting.
The soldiers of the Longwu Army, who were originally lazy, stood up one after another, and some of them also adjusted their armor and helmets, and the soldiers at the front saw Zhao Ziliang and his party coming over, and they all greeted him: "Good handsome, meet Dashuai!" ”
"Good, good!" Zhao Ziliang walked over with a smile and patted them on the shoulders one by one, "The bodies of the young children are quite strong, and they are all good men!" ”
All the soldiers of the Longwu Army who were patted on the shoulder and praised by Zhao Ziliang raised their heads and chests, and their expressions were very excited.
Zhao Ziliang and the others walked among the soldiers of the Longwu Army, and at the end Chen Xuanli said loudly: "Today, the marshal took some time out of his busy official business to visit you, now please say a few words for us, do you say?" ”
The soldiers of the Long Wu Army raised their fists and shouted: "Okay! Please give me a lecture! ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, pressed his hand, and said after the soldiers stopped shouting: "I'm not afraid to tell the soldiers a fact, the generals of many border armies before all looked down on your Longwu Army, and they all said that your Chang'an Forbidden Army is all showy, and it is useless!" The reason why the soldiers of the border army say this is that they have this qualification, because they have been fighting with the barbarians outside the Saiwai for many years, often white knives in and red knives out, killing people and drinking blood has become commonplace, and it is they who protect the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world from the intrusion and harm of foreign enemies, only the soldiers who have experienced these will naturally produce that pride and glory in their hearts, victory belongs to the Tang Dynasty and the people, and pride and honor belong to them! But in the past few days, the performance of your Longwu soldiers has shown me that you noble sons are not so unbearable, you have used your performance to let me and all the Beiting Army and other border army soldiers see that each of you still retains the blood and courage of your ancestors in your body, and the border soldiers should not laugh at you, when your ancestors fought bloodily on the battlefield, their ancestors did not know where to nest in the col to dig soil and cultivate the land, But I hope that you will be able to regain the courage to fight that your ancestors have left in your body, inherit it, and carry it forward, and use it to create your own glory! You are a good man of the Tang Dynasty, in the future, the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world need to rely on you young people to protect, men should not indulge in cockfighting and walking dogs all day long, should not shuttle through the green building flowers, should not be playthings discouraged, whether you continue to serve in the army or choose to retire from the army in the future, men must be bloody, responsible, for your family, wives and children, for our calamitous Chinese nation to support a piece of the world! ”
"Good, good!" The soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army raised their fists and roared.
Subsequently, Zhao Ziliang and others went to visit the wounded soldiers of the Long Wu Army, and the wounds of the Long Wu Army wrapped in white cloth struggled to stand up.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and pressed his hand and said, "Lie down, lie down!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they gave up saluting, and Zhao Ziliang walked up to a soldier with a broken arm and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
The soldier said: "It hurt so much when it was first broken, but now it doesn't hurt much!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, and walked to the other wounded soldiers, condolences one by one, and finally Zhao Ziliang stood in the middle of the wounded soldiers and said: "Many of you are now physically disabled, according to the regulations, you can no longer stay in the army and continue to serve in the army, you have to retire and go home, maybe most of you are very depressed and decadent, you may be thinking that I, who is missing arms and legs, will be a waste person in the future, what's the use of me still alive?" Isn't it causing trouble to his wife and children? If you think so, then you are very wrong! ”
The wounded soldiers listened to Zhao Ziliang's previous words, but they felt the same way, and their expressions were indeed very decadent and depressed, but Zhao Ziliang's later words made them curious and expectant.
Zhao Ziliang continued: "Any one of you is a very important person to your wife and children, no matter what you become, they all want you to live well, because you are their dearest people!" What are you afraid of when you are disabled? What does it matter if you have a missing arm or a broken leg, our Beiting Army has been fighting against the barbarians for many years, and every year there are a large number of wounded soldiers who are missing arms and legs, I remember that there was a soldier whose two arms were cut off by the enemy, and after retiring, he used his feet as both hands, washed clothes with his feet, flipped books and read books with his feet, and wrote with his feet, and there was a soldier whose legs were cut off, so he asked a carpenter to make him a wooden wheelchair, that is, to install two wheels under the chair, and he walked with his hands pushing the wheels, and his hands could do many things. He also read and read with his husband, and he also passed the Xiucai examination, and there was a soldier who was blinded by the enemy's eyes, he survived, but he could not see anything, but he learned to put all his attention on his ears and nose, he distinguished people and objects by listening to sounds and smelling smells, and as long as familiar people were within ten feet of him, he could know who was coming, and he could even smell the fragrance of flowers and other smells from a mile away! This is the miracle of life, as long as your heart does not die, as long as your will is not consumed, you have the possibility of working miracles! Brothers, don't give up hope, if you give up hope, hope will give up on you, and you should live a more wonderful life in the coming days! ”
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, the wounded soldiers seemed to have infinite strength in their bodies, and each of them said to themselves, yes, I want to live, and I want to live better, and I want to live like those people who the marshal said!
Zhao Ziliang and his generals returned to the Chinese army, Chen Xuanli looked at the distant figures of Zhao Ziliang and others and said to the generals and colonies around him: "It is not unreasonable that Zhao Dashuai can win a hundred battles, not to mention his command ability, just say that his morale and can share weal and woe with the soldiers and lead by example can make all the soldiers die for him!"
A general next to him smiled bitterly: "The last general now knows that it is a joke to be able to command thousands of troops and horses to fight just by reading a few military books, no wonder the ancients Zhao Kuo will lose completely!" Those civilian officials in the DPRK and China thought that after reading a few military books, they thought that they were proficient in military affairs, and they could give instructions on military affairs in the court, which is simply ridiculous! ”
In the next few days, the infantry still commanded by Li Siye attacked Tongguan City, the western wall of Tongguan City was not very long, and no matter how many troops there were, it could not be deployed, and only a thousand people could be put into battle at most each time, and no matter how much they were, they could only squeeze under the city to suffer arrows and rolling stones.
On this morning, Zhao Ziliang said to Li Siye: "You did a good job of attacking the city in the first few days, but the rhythm is a little dense and tight, but the intensity is not enough, the next thing we have to do is to confuse the rebel defender Li Guiren, not to make him feel that we are feintting, and not to let the casualties of the soldiers be too large, according to this way of fighting for a long time, the rebels will form a habit, when Duan Xiushi and Wang Sili suddenly kill from the Qinling Mountains, they will inevitably divide their troops to resist, At that time, it was time for us to attack the city head-on, and at that time, we must take Tongguan in one go, and we must not let the rebels have a chance to breathe! ”
Li Siye hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands!" ”
After slowing down the attack density and appropriately enhancing the attack intensity, the rebels really got used to this structure for several days, the Tang army launched attacks regularly every day, and the time of each attack was basically the same, and every day was the same number of sieges, in the view of the rebel defender Li Guiren, the Tang army was planning to exhaust the troops and materials of the defenders of Hetong Pass, once people's thinking formed a normal state, the subconscious mind would carry it out according to this normal thinking, which was Zhao Ziliang's purpose, so that the enemy unconsciously entered the trap.
On the third day of the first month of October, the appointed day finally arrived, on this day Li Siye launched an attack as usual, the officers and men of the Tang army were in order, everything was as usual, Li Guiren thought that he had caught the pulse of the Tang army, and he was very handy and calmly commanded the battle.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Li Siye still launched the second wave of attacks in the morning, and the sound of shouting and killing spread everywhere on the city wall, at this time, a soldier galloped on horseback and ran to the city to turn over and dismount, and then galloped up the city wall to report to Li Guirenyu, who was commanding the battle: "General, it's not good, there is a Tang army that has suddenly been killed from Qinling Mountain, they have captured three fortresses and a camp in a row, only the last two fortresses are left, if they don't send reinforcements quickly, they will soon break through the last fortress and kill in!" ”
"What?" The sudden blow made Li Guiren's eyes darken, and he almost fainted on the spot, he calmed down and quickly ordered: "What's the matter, Li Siye yin me!" Quickly, pass on my order, let Vice General Liu rush to reinforcements with 3,000 men and horses, and never let the Tang army come in! ”
Since the Tang army was mainly attacking the west city wall head-on, the rebel generals and most of the soldiers and horses in Tongguan were almost concentrated on the west city wall, and Vice General Liu was not far from Li Guiren, and he immediately ran down the city wall after receiving the order and organized 3,000 men and horses to rush to the fortress released by Qinling for reinforcements.
At this time, thick smoke billowed over several camps and fortresses between Qinling and Tongguan, obviously being attacked, and the generals and colonels of the Tang Army who were attacking the city head-on soon discovered this situation, and Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting on the handsome platform, saw this and said to Li Siye: "It's time, launch a general attack!" ”
Li Siye hugged his fists and said: "No! This time, the last general personally led the troops to attack the city, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent! (To be continued.) )
