Hearing what Pharmacist Guo said, Guo Anguo was really taken aback, and he also said urgently: "Dad! Why is that? ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "You can't see that Hanlu has been defeated?" He didn't dare to fight Huang Jie, so it was very likely that he would have to defend Shenzhou! ”

"He's already defeated, how can it be?" Guo Anguo looked confused, and really couldn't understand how Pharmacist Guo could come to this conclusion.

Guo Yaoshi turned his face to take a look, and found that Zong Wang and the others had not come out yet, so he simply made it clear to his stupid son and said, "For my father, I ask you, how many people does Huang Jie have in Liaoyang?" ”

Guo Anguo said: "It seems to be 20,000? ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled playfully: "If you give 40,000 horses for your father, you may break the city in half a day and capture Liaoyang City in three days?" ”

Guo Anguo immediately rolled his eyes, thinking that how could this be possible, even if he was given 100,000 horses, he did not dare to guarantee that Liaoyang City would be captured in three days.

Pharmacist Guo continued, "How? But you don't dare to agree? You have also seen the battle report, that Huang Jie did break Liaoyang City in half a day, and it only took half a day to fight Yaozhou, but I am afraid that what he used was a chariot, a bed crossbow, and a thunderbolt fireball under Tangchi Fort yesterday. Therefore, if he goes to attack Shenzhou again, how long do you say he can break the wall of Shenzhou? ”

Guo Anguo's IQ is also above the standard, so he immediately understands that if Huang Jie's siege ability is about equal to "half a day", then the time it takes him to break through any city will obviously not exceed one day!

But Guo Anguo was still a little apprehensive, so he also asked: "But even so...... And how did the marshal lose? ”

Guo Yaoshi didn't care that Guo Anguo still called Zong Wang a marshal, so he also asked with a smile: "How far is Liaoyang Mansion from Shenzhou?" How many days do you think Huang Jie can travel from Liaoyang Mansion to Shenzhou? ”

Guo Anguo thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that there are 150 miles, why do you have to walk for three or five days?" ”

Guo Yaoshi also sneered: "If you have to go for five days, how can Huang Jie make up a three-day appointment with Hanlu?" ”

Guo Anguo's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he finally brightened up, and couldn't help but look at Pharmacist Guo in amazement, and Pharmacist Guo didn't stop, and said straightly: "But you think about it, I waited for the army to arrive here, and there was no way to take the Tangchi Fort in front of me for two consecutive battles yesterday." And although Huang Jie only has 20,000 horses, if he defends Liaoyang, not to mention whether our 50,000 horses can be broken, he will be trapped, and the Song army will continue to build fortresses to the north with the same method as they are now, but I am afraid that it will not take long to build the fortress under the nose of Liaoyang City. ”

"Therefore......" Guo Anguo's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he also said: "Dad is dead to him, and now the only way is to rush to Shenzhou and defend the city?" ”

"Not bad! What are you saying? Pharmacist Guo looked at his son, who was finally a little enlightened, and stroked his beard and smiled.

Guo Anguo thought about it, and then tried to answer: "But it's because ...... Although it only took Huang Jie half a day to break the city, it took three days to capture Liaoyang City? ”

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he smiled, and then he also reached out and patted Guo Anguo's shoulder and said, "The son can be taught!" ”

The so-called breaking of the city and the capture of the city are only known from the literal point of view, that is, the "break" here means that the wall that protects the city is destroyed, and the "capture" is that the attacking side has completely eliminated the resistance in the city and completely occupied the city.

Of course, Zong Wang is not stupid, even Pharmacist Guo can see the problem, of course he has already seen it. Although Huang Jie's ability to break the city is very strong, he can break the city wall in only half a day, so that the Song army can attack the city, but this ability to break the city obviously cannot be used in street fighting, otherwise it would not take him three days to complete the capture.

Of course, in history, almost every siege battle can be said to be a protracted tug-of-war, as long as the defender of the city has a strong will to resist, even if the enemy breaks the walls and gates countless times, as long as the position can be held in the street battle, the city can also be lost.

Not to mention, let's take two of the most famous cities more than a hundred years later to give an example, one is Xiangyang City, which killed the two bosses of Mongolia, and the other is the Diaoyu City, which is called the land of God's whip, which is one of the classics.

Let's talk about Xiangyang first, this city is known as "the first city in China", "Xiangyang of iron", "the place where soldiers must fight", from the Southern Song Dynasty Xianchun three years (1267) Mengjiang Ashu attacked Xiangyang's Anyang Beach battle, in the Song Dynasty Lu Wenhuan anti-encirclement battle, Zhang Gui, Zhang Shun to aid the battle of Xiangxiang, the battle of Longweizhou and the battle of Fancheng, finally because of the lonely city without help, Xianchun nine years (1273) Lu Wenhuan exhausted his strength to reduce the Yuan, before and after holding lasted nearly six years.

Although it ended in the fall, in the past six years, even though the Mongolian army had captured the head of Xiangyang dozens of times and opened the city gate several times, they were all beaten out by the soldiers and civilians who resolutely resisted through barricades and street fighting.

Then talk about Diaoyu City, this is a legendary legend, the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1259), Mongolia is known as hundreds of thousands of horses, besieging Hechuan Diaoyu City, but has never been able to overcome, even the Mongolian Khan was killed in the city, and the general Wang Jian can be described as a Chinese hero.

After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan promised not to harm the people in the city in the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1279), and the soldiers and civilians of Diaoyu City held on for 20 years, and the defender Wang Li abandoned the city and surrendered.

Moreover, after abandoning the city, the thirty-two (one said thirty-six) generals who defended the city all drew their swords and killed themselves, which can be described as loyal martyrs.

That's it! Having said that, with the wisdom of Guo Yaoshi, he naturally saw the difficulties of Zongwang today: if he continued to spend it in Yaozhou for the purpose of cutting off the grain route of the Song army, Huang Jie would unceremoniously attack Shenzhou; If you go back to Liaoyang to block Huang Jie, the Song army in Yaozhou will also unceremoniously continue to repair Lingbao in Liaoyang and continue to consolidate the supply line.

And Zong Wang now has a total of 50,000 horses in his hands (counting yesterday's losses, it is less than 50,000), and it is naturally even more unrealistic to divide the troops to block them. Of course, Zong Wang can still try to mobilize troops, but the fighters don't wait for anyone, if they can't block Huang Jie, and can't stop the Song army from repairing Lingbao, even if they transfer troops in the future, it will be useless.

So after all, the only tactic that Zong Wang has the best chance of winning now is to rush all the troops in his hands to help Shenzhou defend the city, and at the same time mobilize troops from all over the country to help. As for Huang Jie, if he wants to go to Huanglong Mansion, he must capture Shenzhou, and it is impossible to make a detour, because if he takes a detour, Zong Wang will naturally have the opportunity to attack from Shenzhou and copy Huang Jie's back road.

didn't say how long it took for the circuit in Guo Anguo's brain, and finally figured out the truth, so he also said that after he figured it out, he suddenly asked Pharmacist Guo with a stunned face: "But...... Daddy, my family and your uncles are all in Zhongjing! ”

Guo Yaoshi stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, squinted at Guo Anguo and said, "As my father's family, there are only you and Zijin!" ”
