Chapter 439: There are always more ways than difficulties
Poof~, hearing these words, the second general outside the door directly spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Commander, we are on our way to the east, and even this Yandang City has only been beaten for a few months." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info you don't worry about the war, you are actually worried about your brother's marriage. The Tuliao people in the east are eyeing each other and ready to counterattack at any time. Can you do this without doing your job? ”
Li Deyi shouted: "Senior brother, why did you suddenly talk about this? ”
"You should take care of it, it is the master who writes to ask." Xiao Liu said in a loud voice.
"Oh, didn't my sister-in-law give birth to a big fat boy again, why is the master still worried about me. Aren't the two eldest grandsons enough for his old man's work? Li Deyi said strangely.
"I don't care about Master, anyway, you have to find a way to reassure Master. Master's health has always been bad, and when he fought with Fan Guoshi that year, Zhihai was also shocked a lot, so you are not allowed to make his old man sad again. Captain Xiao Liu couldn't help but ramble.
"Senior brother, now that the Tuliao people have not been destroyed, where do I want to start a family." Li Deyi found a reason.
"Nonsense, I didn't just marry a daughter-in-law, and my sons gave birth to two." As Xiao Liu spoke, he couldn't help but give Li De a look.
"Ah, don't fight. I know my brother, I know. Li Deyi hurriedly begged for mercy.
"This time for those big families, I don't allow you to come back to that set again, don't make people angry again." Head Xiao Liu said again.
"I know, I must not be ......the same as last time," Li Deyi said evilly.
The Dingbei garrison has recently won a series of big victories, which has made many families move their minds again. Especially after Li Deyi started the business of the salt industry like a sea of gold and silver, they were even more tempted. These families have relationships all over the world through their in-laws, and if they are related to one of them, the news will immediately spread.
Now through the news brought back by the caravan, they also learned that Dingbei County is unusually rich, and Li Deyi, a living bandit, is a boy with fortune. Therefore, this time, the Dingbei garrison was stationed in Yandang City, and many nearby families secretly sent people to contact them. This time, their tone was not as tough as before, and they all said that they could let their daughter marry Li Deyi as a "flat wife".
But Li Deyi still didn't fancy any of them, just like a fool who didn't know how to do it.
The old medical officer Sun was in Dingbei County, holding his second eldest grandson who had just been born, and he didn't come to tears for no reason, thinking of his eldest brother Li Youshui, who was almost dying, so he wrote a letter to urge Li Deyi's marriage.
Outside the house, the second general listened to the root of the wall, completely stupid, not knowing whether to enter or not.
The two heads of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, in the end, are still not military generals, but at the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, they still have leisure to discuss marriage, which is too, too child's play.
In the house, Xiao Liu, the head of the regiment, suddenly signaled Li Deyi to shut up, and then said loudly: "What do you think about launching an attack in the spring and continuing to attack the Tuliao Kingdom?" ”
Senior brother's words suddenly changed, and Li Deyi didn't react, so he just stayed there.
Head Xiao Liu gestured to his junior brother with his eyes, and someone outside the house came.
Li Deyi also wondered, who is so powerful that he can make his senior brother forcibly change the topic?
Stretching out his hand to open the door, he saw Pharmacist Li and Xu Shiji, the second general, who were full of embarrassment outside the door.
"Why are the two generals here?"
You're not knowingly asking?! After such a long time without a war, do you still want to continue the crusade? If you don't fight again, the Tuliao Kingdom should fight back!
"Deputy Regiment Commander, it's spring now, and the war horses of the Tuliao people have passed through this winter, which is the time when the horsepower is the most lacking, why not take this opportunity to raise troops to the east again?" After Pharmacist Li entered the house, he went straight to the point.
Xu Shiji also followed: "A few years ago, our army won one after another, and its morale was booming. Why don't the two regiment commanders take advantage of the soldiers' eagerness to fight, and raise a large army again to conquer the wolf thieves? ”
The implication is that if you two don't move, your morale should be cold, and it will be more difficult to fight at that time than now.
Li Deyi turned his head and glanced at his senior brother, and Xiao Liu, the head of the group, glanced at his junior brother.
"The two generals come to the sand table, and I will talk to you in detail." Captain Xiao Liu called Pharmacist Li and General Xu Shiji to the sand table.
It was the first time that Pharmacist Li came to the house of Commander Liu, and when he saw the well-made huge sand table, he directly praised it: "This sand table is so finely made, even the fortresses at the head of the city of Tuliao are made one by one, and Captain Liu is really an expert." ”
Commander Xiao Liu said: "Where is it, the two generals, please take a closer look here." ”
Commander Xiao Liu pointed to a city and said loudly: "There are many rivers and lakes in Jiangbei (left) Province, which was also called Dayunze in ancient times. Most of the cities in Jiangbei are built on the water and guarded by the water. I will send an army against this city, but this city is built by the river, and it is difficult to besiege it on all sides. We don't have a naval army, so it will be difficult for us to take this city. ”
Li Deyi walked over and continued: "In this province on the left side of the river, there are eleven cities in the Tuliao State, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we bypass Jiangzuo (North) Province and directly attack Xudu Province, I am afraid that the grain route in the rear will be invaded by the Jiangzuo Naval Army along the river. ”
Jiangbei (left) province is densely covered with rivers, and every city has a naval army. If the army of the Dingbei garrison made a detour to the east and entered Xudu Province, they could go up the river and attack Xiahe Province at that time. Therefore, this Jiangbei (left) province, although it is difficult to fight, has to fight.
If you want to advance smoothly to the east, you must first sweep away the eleven cities on the left side of the river. But without the navy, Li Deyi has already been guarded against, and I am afraid that the next battle will not be so smooth.
Commander Xiao Liu easily refused to let the soldiers of the garrison climb the city wall to attack, and the loss would be too great. Moreover, this siege method is the next strategy among the next strategies, and when there is really no way, it will be forced to adopt it. Moreover, in this way of siege, the defenders in the city can send a naval army to land around the rear at any time at the critical moment of the war, and attack the soldiers and horses in the city on both sides.
After hearing these words, the two generals, Pharmacist Li and Xu Shiji, also fell into deep thought. Before the two of them, they used this most stupid siege method, and as a result, they repeatedly consumed soldiers, horses, food, and grass, but it did not work.
Xiao Liu's words also revealed the truth and the situation. It's not that I don't want to attack quickly, but the next battle is really not easy to fight, and if you don't think of a way out in advance, it will be difficult to achieve any victory.
Li Deyi thought about it from the year before to the new year, but he didn't come up with any good way. In a hurry, the second general of Pharmacist Li, of course, couldn't come up with any constructive suggestions.
Throughout the ages, most of the wonderful battles have been created by field battles, and there are few wonderful siege battles. In the field battle, the two sides are intrigued, each with its own strange strategy, and often fights brilliantly and is full of wisdom.
However, siege warfare is the most difficult bone to gnaw on, and it is also the most test of the general's ability.
If you can fight siege warfare well, you are really a good general in the world. In ancient times, 600 years ago, before the birth of Taizu, the founder of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, there was a general in the ancient Qin Dynasty, whose name was Bai Qi, and he was named Wu Anjun, who was recognized as the god of war for thousands of years.
Rao was later the founder of the Ping Zhou Dynasty Taizu's martial arts and unified the world. When the descendants invited him to the title of God of War, the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty still said humbly: "I am not as good as the ancient gods to 'white' far away, and I dare not trespass." There is a sage in the south, and he personally named Wu Anjun as the 'killing god', and I can't do it. ”
This god of war is very good at attacking cities. Xiongcheng, which other famous generals were at a loss, was conquered again and again under his hands, and even conquered most of the ancient Chu State in the first war, and even Xiongcheng like Ying was conquered by him in one fell swoop.
In fact, Li Deyi is not out of the question, and special operations are a good way to deal with this kind of city. But Li Deyi learned through the scouts that these cities were desperately built by those big families, and they had all been built out of the urn city.
If a city has an urn city, and then use special warfare methods to attack this city, it is necessary to open the two gates inside and outside in a row, which greatly increases the difficulty and the danger factor also increases sharply, which is extremely unstable. Special operations have become too dangerous and no longer have useful value.
In fact, Li Deyi also discussed with his senior brother whether he could imitate the boulder cannon of the Tuliao people, but in the end he failed to realize it. First, there are no craftsmen. Second, the transportation of boulder cannons is too slow, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will become a burden for the Dingbei garrison.
Of course, Li Deyi has not been completely idle in the past few months, he has been working hard to figure out some new tricks to help the garrison attack the city.
In the past few months, Li Deyi hasn't even told his senior brother, and has been mysteriously tinkering with something. He brought a large amount of light wood, as well as the best purple silk sent by the Pingtang Kingdom, the strongest hemp rope, and a lot of iron nails, and consumed a lot of these things.
A few days later, Li Deyi took a Humvee and carried a large bag tightly wrapped in black cloth on his back, went into the mountains, stayed for a few days, and when he came out, his nose was always blue and his face was swollen.
When Xiao Liu saw his junior brother's blue nose and swollen face during the New Year, he was surprised: "What? When Li Wushu was fighting with you, he slapped you in the face? Yes, let you always squint his eyes. ”
As soon as he turned his head, Xiao Liu began to praise Li Wudi: "Good job, you should have learned to be clever a long time ago, don't always play the dead routines taught by your master." ”
Li Wudi shook his head directly: "It's not me." ”
Xiao Liu's head squinted his eyes and stared at Li Deyi: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Li De drove Li Wushu out, lay in his brother's ear, and whispered in the lowest voice.
"Be careful, don't break yourself!" Commander Xiao Liu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I have a number. It's more than a foot high now, and it's okay to fall. I started to practice Vajra Tong Energy since I started, and my body was much harder, so it didn't matter how many times I fell. On the contrary, I feel that the more I fall, the faster I can enter the country. Li Deyi said.
"Is that so? You have to be in a good sense of proportion, and you can't go wrong. Two hundred years ago, the Ping Zhou Dynasty had an emperor who fell to his death. After hearing this, Head Liu persuaded again.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I have a number, I also made something to prevent falling from the air." As soon as Li De leaned into his brother's ear, he whispered again.
"Where do you have such strange things in your head? What do you think of from those miscellaneous books? ”
"This is my dream at night, and I don't know what's going on."
"Be careful and be careful not to have an accident. If you don't have enough stuff, come and transfer my share. Captain Xiao Liu waved his hand, although he didn't understand his junior brother very well, but out of trust, he still chose to support unconditionally. (To be continued.) )
