Section 691 Breaking the Cao State
Let the horses come and drive!
Thousands of horses galloped, and the army was like an overwhelming torrent of steel passing in front of Wei Xi and Princess Taiping, to be reviewed by them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the stands, Wei Xi and Princess Taiping sat side by side, and they began to gradually make the officials and people of the Western Regions accustomed to the fact that the two of them were indistinguishable from each other, and they were inseparable from each other.
Wei Xi was worried, imitating Wu Zetian's path to the throne, and after gaining power, he stood side by side with Emperor Gaozong, and was the two saints who jointly held the power of the imperial court.
When everyone gets used to it, everything falls into place.
The two also have a division of labor, Wei Xi mainly runs foreign affairs, military, road construction, etc., while Princess Taiping specializes in internal affairs, the two are a match made in heaven.
However, affairs are not separated, Wei Xi is only with Princess Taiping, and before major military operations, he takes her out when it is convenient for her, so that she can participate in the management of the army.
Military affairs cannot be entrusted to outsiders, when he is not there, something suddenly happens, and Princess Taiping can't hold back, so it will be dangerous.
The territory in the future is so large, Princess Taiping must participate in the management of the army, and she must not be neglected.
Wei Xi arrived at the old place of the Turgish, and on that day they inspected 100,000 cavalry, rewarded the soldiers: an average of ten yuan, and gave cattle wine.
Under the heavy reward, they naturally wanted to sell their lives, but the Turgish people respected Wei Xi like a god and obeyed the exorcism.
"Bring the sin to Shi Wanchao!" Chief of Staff Jiang Zhi ordered.
Shi Wanchao was defeated in the country of Huoxun, lost tens of thousands of teachers, and was cut off from his military position after returning, but his treatment did not change.
When Wei Xi turned around, he was called to deal with it in public and knelt down towards the point of the general.
“…… Shi Wanchao ignored the instructions of his superiors, did not beware of the Great Food Army, and lost tens of thousands of troops until he lost his division, and he should be beheaded according to military discipline!
…… And read that it made great contributions to the country, and killed more than 10,000 enemies when the fire sought the country, so the merits were offset, and he made meritorious service for his crimes, and was the vanguard of the siege death squad, and he should bravely kill the enemy to repay the country's kindness! ”
Shi Wanchao was grateful and kowtowed again and again.
He is still very young, he is the year of fighting, and he is the champion of the three armies, Wei Xi will not let go of such a general in vain.
……
After the army reviewed, at the meeting of senior generals the next day, Wei Xi announced: "Last year, the Zhaowu countries were sharpened, and this year the time is ripe, it is the year of harvest, and it should be harvested!" ”
To do things to talk about the "potential", work hard to do, there may not be a harvest, when the momentum is a success, it is imperative, then there is no disadvantage.
One stone strikes a thousand waves, and the generals are excited, even the most reserved generals are unavoidable.
The lord said yes yes!
This year, it will definitely work!
If not, you can do it!
Princess Taiping also participated in the military meeting, and when she saw everyone's reaction, Wei Xi's words provoked everyone's morale, and before she called the generals to say anything, the generals were just submissive and couldn't inspire their fighting spirit, so she knew that compared with Wei Xi in terms of military affairs, she couldn't reach it!
This is what Wei Xi gained by sharing life and death with them and leading them from victory to victory!
In the past, Wu Sansi once had the intention to compete with Wei Xi in military affairs, thinking that he had the support of his aunt, what could not compare to Wei Xi.
After he worked hard, he found that the distance between him and Wei Xi was getting farther and farther away, so he gave up wisely.
Now that Princess Taiping is also aware of Wei Xi's military ability, the small ambition that once burned has been extinguished, and she will honestly return to her own administrative work.
Just like the combination of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian, Emperor Gaozong also wants to reclaim the power and monopolize the power, how cool!
But he is sick and difficult to govern, and he has to let Wu Zetian take the lead after all.
Similarly, an ambitious woman like Princess Taiping is not without dreams when she grasps the military and politics.
But seeing Wei Xi's full performance, she also knew that Wei Xi was irreplaceable!
Similarly, giving others military power is definitely not as safe as your own husband.
The combination of Wei Xi and Princess Taiping is finally combined, first the body and mind are combined, and then the organization is combined, and there is no distinction between each other.
……
If you want to go down to Zhaowu, break the Cao Kingdom first!
When the people of Cao Guo saw the densely distributed catapults/machines outside the city, and the army like a vast sea surrounded them, everyone's hearts were like drums!
The strange thing is that they also saw a group of Lite people in Wei Xi's army.
That's right, in addition to the Lite people who served in front of the army, Wei Xi also went to invite the envoys of Bi Guo, Anguo, Kang Guo, Mi Guo and the rest of the Lite city-states of Zhaowu to discuss major matters in the name, but in fact, let them see how Cao Guo fell on the spot!
First of all, the trebuchet attacked, and full preparations were made in advance, three hundred and fifty-eight trebuchets threw bombs together, and the stone bullets hit the city wall hard, and the sound was like thunder, and the city wall collapsed!
Launching boulders, one weighing 100 kilograms, slammed down like a giant slapping his palm.
After more than a year of siege, the walls of Cao Guo were overwhelming, and they were all destroyed after encountering intensive attacks.
First, nearly 5,000 stone bullets were fired, smashing the city full of holes!
The Great Zhou (Tang) army surrounding the city let out a deafening cheer: "The Great Zhou Wansheng will break the Cao State!" ”
The sound shook the clouds, which made the soldiers and civilians of Cao State frightened.
Then the bow and arrow attacked, but without using the familiar firebomb... This is both a reservation and a confidence in the effectiveness of past attacks, and there is no need to use fireballs again.
The archers step forward, and ten thousand arrows are fired!
In addition to the arrows of steel arrows, there were rockets, countless rockets flew in the air, and the whole city exploded like a fireworks, and the rockets were like flying dense sparks, enveloping the city. Cao Jun, who stayed in such a sinister environment, didn't know how many people would survive.
"Rush!"
The Zhou army made an earth-shattering charge, the military horn and drum trumpets sounded in unison, and the noise was incomparable, which made the Lite people who were fighting outside the city tremble, and the Lite people in the city were even more shocked.
The soldiers rushed to the city of Cao Guo with overwhelming momentum, giving everyone the feeling that the Zhou army was like a boundless torrent, able to crush the city!
The long ladder was erected, the ladder was erected, and the siege tower leaned to the edge of the city. The soldiers of the Zhou army took the lead and fought for the honor of breaking the city first.
Among them is Shi Wanchao, who wields a hammer, each as big as a watermelon, and he rides in a siege tower, which is tall and has wheels under the tower, so that he can travel, and when he is engaged in siege battles, he puts it close to the side of the city wall, and the soldiers can step directly from the platform at the top of the tower to the head of the enemy's city wall.
The drawbridge of the siege tower that Shi Wanchao was riding was lowered, and Shi Wanchao took several big steps in a row and had already jumped onto the city wall!
Let him come up, like a tiger into the wolves, it will be difficult for the people of Cao Guo!
He swung his double hammer sharply, only attacking but not defending, sweeping thousands of armies, and smashing watermelons with a hammer!
Smash the enemy's sword, smash the enemy's gun and axe, and smash the enemy's head as a melon, Cao Guoren shot arrows at him, and the weapon hit him, but he ignored it, and the heavy armor sword and cannon were invulnerable, and it was a good kill to plunge into the enemy group! If you touch him, you will die, and if you touch him, you will die, and there will be no one who will be together.
He is like a terrifying killing machine, slashing through a hellish road to the other side of success.
Many people in Cao Guo are already desperate, and their fighting spirit is still very strong, but under the long-term siege, the nutrition can't keep up, where can they beat Shi Wanchao and Zhou Jun, who eat meat every day!
Soon, the flags symbolizing the occupation of the Zhou army were raised one by one in the city of Cao Guo, and the sergeants happily reported: "General Shi is the first to break the city, and there are thirteen places where our army broke the city!" ”
When the Zhou army basically controlled the city, an order was conveyed everywhere, making the blood of the Zhou army soldiers rush, and the Lite people inside and outside the city were stunned.
"The small country of Man'er, dare to resist the Heavenly Army, causing the loss of the Heavenly Army, should be taken seriously, the general has an order, the day the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed for three days!" Jiang Zhi ordered on his behalf.
Slaughter the city!
