Chapter 42: The General
"The heart of the prince is still confused, and if he can't overcome the heart of this city, how can the soldiers do their best? Otherwise, this guest city wall, but more than a zhang, how long can it stop the son? β
"The courage of the soldiers, the first soldiers, show bravery, establish the prestige of the army, condense the general momentum, and make a big move, the enemy can be broken!"
The words of the forbidden teachings are still in the ears. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But how much determination and hard work does it take to do such a simple few words?
The war book has been passed down for thousands of years, and the readers don't know how many, but how many people can be famous and handsome?
How fortunate it is that in my hands, I have the essence of a whole era in my hands!
Li Cheng's side was still Xiahou Ba and his three thousand foot soldiers, and the task they got was to forbid to rush up the city wall, and then turn to the city gate, and after cutting off the door lock, quickly follow up the impact; At the same time, some people were also distributed in the north of the city to prevent fish from escaping to Changli to report the news.
In front of Li Cheng and Xiahou Ba, there were 3,000 people in the forbidden department, although the queue was uneven, and there was no kind of strict order, but between everyone holding their breath and suppressing their breath, a heavy and heavy atmosphere was clearly felt by everyone.
Even the Goguryeo defenders in Bintu City felt the same pressure as before.
The eager Goguryeo language at the head of the city shouted at each other, but all that could be called was more Han people.
Yu Ban, who was standing at the head of the front row, smiled coldly, and glanced back at the five siege ladders that were neatly arranged on the groundβtwo more, but they were already unusable.
"The distance between the ladders should not exceed one zhang! 500 pioneers, lined up and ready to go; The follow-up soldiers will follow one after another, and they must not be out of order! β
If it is a real Central Plains city attack and defense, such a close arrangement is tantamount to suicide. Because the area of the impact area was too narrow, the strength of the defending equipment and soldiers was highly concentrated, causing great damage to the besieging side.
Just like the charge of an infantry group in modern times, under the suppression of enemy artillery fire, advance in a scattered line, in order to minimize casualties, disperse firepower, and put pressure on the enemy's entire line of defense.
The principle of war is the same before the disruptive technological revolution.
However, Yu Ban dared to issue such an unusual military order, just because he had transcendent self-confidence, and he was able to crush the face, break through the face with a point, gather the strongest strength, and break through the city defense of Goguryeo in an instant!
The so-called one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open.
When the strength of the individual is far superior to that of the other party, it will be more advantageous to reduce the contact area.
"Goguryeo, Pu'er Xiaoguo'er! In such counties, it is a luxury to have 500 defenders, and the rest of the people who assist in the defense are nothing more than forcibly conscripting our Han people into the army; As long as the vanguard breaks through the guards of the Goguryeo headquarters, how can it help to justify abuse? β
"The wall of Bintu is no more than a foot high, and there are no distracting thoughts, so it jumps over; If you hesitate, you will lose the opportunity and die! Some, on the orders of the son, to lead you and others, at this moment, only to take the lead! β
Yu Ban said, holding the shield with his left hand, and bending down with his right hand to grab a wooden ladder in front of him, causing the dock guards behind him to quickly follow suit.
"Siege charge, life! No complaints! There is only one word, you should remember! β
Carrying the wooden ladder on his right shoulder, Yu Ban pulled out the crushing knife at his waist, cut the tie directly, and discarded the scabbard to the side; Pull out another layer of coarse cloth and wrap two layers around the junction between the blade and the handle.
"Even if it is death, I am forbidden, and I will definitely die in front of you! Even if I die in front of you, no one is allowed to stop without the order of the prince to retreat! β
Yu Ban's sharp gaze, with a slow turn of his head, swept over all the docked men.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly.
"Only by winning can we live. Only by staying alive can we go back. β
"Everyone, let me win! Take this city with me! β
Turning his head, Yu Ban opened his mouth and bit the coarse cloth wrapping of the crushing knife, and then his right shoulder shook, and the siege ladder slid down into his right hand again.
"Whatever I am, rush!"
Even though he has a knife in his mouth, the word "rush" is extremely clear, and with the unanimous echo of the three thousand people, in an instant, he broke through the sky!
Five hundred pioneers, with their left hands erecting simple wooden shields to cover their heads; There are even some with fresh dents on them that are still clearly visible.
The subsequent dock guards quickly divided into five columns in the original open space to fill the gap in the field that had just left, and were ready to follow up quickly.
If you fantasize about being able to say that you can die for yourself with just a few words, this is a dream.
And even if you take the lead and don't have a grassroots foundation, don't think that these simple and realistic big-headed soldiers will really work hard.
This is the only reward that only when a general really walks to the side of all the soldiers and enters the hearts of all the soldiers!
Li Cheng glanced at Xiahou Ba without moving, as smart as him, naturally he immediately thought of something, and his face was pale.
Born to be respected and held a high position for a long time is destined to make it difficult for Xiahouba to achieve this kind of intimacy that is completely integrated into the soldiers.
He can reward and punish clearly, and he can stay in the army overnight, but he is always under all kinds of dogmas, separated from those living soldiers, such a thin and unbreakable layer.
Therefore, Xiahou Ba may be a good general; But Yu Ban is hard to find in the whole country, Cao Wei's five sons!
It's only been a few days, and the existence of three thousand, which should have been abandoned and weak, is far better than the three thousand who should have been elite. Yu Wenze, Yu Wenze, whether it is words or deeds, your teachings are always like this, merciless......
This is the case in this life, and it is even worse in the past.
It's no wonder that Cao Ziheng, the second generation, will also be so ruthless to give a "strong" nickname...... Hmph, in the final analysis, if there is no weapon for the king, it is no wonder that the country is declining and the clan is withering. Not to mention that he returned to heaven in his prime, he left a great Wei, and after not many spring and autumn periods, he was usurped by the alliance of scholars.
Looking at the vanguard led by Yu Ban, who finally put the wooden ladder up to the city, Li Cheng's hands couldn't help but clench suddenly.
Such a general, how rare!
I saw Yu Ban holding a wooden shield high with his left hand, and with the strength of one hand, he was the first to climb the wooden ladder. With a height of just four meters, it seemed that in a blink of an eye, with one hand and two feet, it was enough for him to leap up.
The flow of bricks and tiles, not light or heavy, may be a great interference to ordinary dock soldiers, but for the ban, it is not any obstruction at all.
And the Goguryeo defenders did not expect that this charge would be so fierce and sharp, and some large stones and heavy objects were expected to be used again when the siege was urgent, and there was no time to carry them at this moment - not to mention the Han people's husbands, although they were forced to go up the wall with knives and guns, but for this kind of thing in the same room, they must have resisted very much in their hearts, where is the reason for dedication?
When Yu Ban was only half a body away from being able to climb the city, the three Goguryeo soldiers abandoned the smashed objects as if they were waking up from a dream, raised their spears, and stabbed them fiercely at the simple wooden shield that had just emerged from the city.
Just listen to "Do! "Do! "Do! The tip of the deepest spear even popped out directly on the back of the shield! The momentum of the ban is also a pause.
Fortunately, the north is bitterly cold, the trees grow slowly, and although the wooden shield is simple, the texture is also hard under the local materials. If it had been replaced with an ordinary wood species in the Central Plains, such an inferior protective gear would have been pierced through three big holes long ago.
And Yu couldn't stop for a moment, ignoring the tip of the spear that came out of the shield, and his eyes just looked upward, and the essence was slightly condensed; Immediately, with his left hand, he pulled the three spears away, and took advantage of this undisturbed stall, his right hand let go of the handrail of the wooden ladder, and grabbed the crushing knife in his mouth, and the back of the knife went down, pressing on the wall, and the whole body suddenly exerted force-
Yu Ban, who jumped up, directly abandoned the shield, and without waiting for the whole person to stand firmly on the wall, the Pu knife in his hand suddenly reversed, and the blade moved forward and swept out!
Suddenly, three blood rays splashed, and the other defenders next to him were stunned, but they didn't react for a while!
Goguryeo is located in a remote area, how many big battles have you ever seen? Even if they are a small number of elites, they either protect the various tribes in the country, or they go to the front line of western Liaoning with the army of the Western Expedition. (Daga, the official name of Goguryeo.) Goguryeo was composed of five tribes, first with the Juannu tribe as the king, and then the Guilou tribe as the king. Although there was a king, in that era, it basically existed in the form of a semi-tribe. In other words, it is somewhat similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the king can lead if he has prestige, but each country and each secretary and doctor also has their own autonomy. οΌ
And these people who will be sent to defend Bintu County are obviously the remnants of the weak brigade. Ordinary defending the city, there is still some order, once there is a courage beyond its psychological endurance, it will suddenly waver.
Standing on the wall and scanning the four directions, Yu Ban slashed down with another knife, slashed the two sluggish Goguryeo soldiers to the ground, and kicked a thin man dressed as a man on the side backwards.
"The Han army counterattacked, Liaodong will return, those who have the courage will kill the thief with me; Those who have no courage will not stand in my way! β
Yu Ban shouted violently, and at the same time reflexively stabbed again, killing an enemy soldier who had just reacted and rushed straight to him, and firmly guarding the climbing battlement of his own siege ladder.
Although the fall of the Northland has been many years ago, it is not appropriate to say that it is the Han army. But the Hu people in the north came from the bitter cold land, that is, for the prosperity of the Central Plains, although the Liaodong belonged to the nominal occupation, except for the collection of taxes and tribute, but few Hu people were willing to come here.
Over time, except for the necessary high-ranking officials and military commanders, the three counties of Dongji were mostly semi-autonomous states of local Han wealthy families, and Beiyan had always been laissez-faire in this place. However, after the occupation of Goguryeo, it did its best to control exploitation.
Yu Ban's shout was not only to deter the enemy, but also to show favor and comfort to the Han Jialang in the city.
When he reached the battlement behind him, there were already more than a dozen people on it, which was enough to defend it, so Yu Ban didn't care about the situation at the other siege ladders.
As a general, encouragement, leadership, and reward are only means. A real strong army needs to be infused with their own blood and life!
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
Some processes, no matter how brave you are, can't be replaced.
Even if Yu Ban exerts a little more force, the five siege ladders on the head of this city can save a lot of trouble, and even save more lives - some sacrifices are necessary!
This Cao Wei general, who is known for his perseverance, has long given way to these superfluous emotions to rational thinking: at this moment, he has only one goal in his eyes: the city gate.
