Chapter 52: Attack and Defense of Zetan County
Bai Wei recently bought a good folding fan for Jiang Nan, which also made Jiang Nan happy and took it with him at any time.
The folding fan painted with bamboo plum was opened by a fan bone in Jiangnan, and at this time he was immediately in the rear of the army, surrounded by Guo Chen and his own private soldiers of 900 Yanyuzhuang.
Zetan County has been fighting for several days, and unlike Xinwei County, Feng Hao, the defender of Zetan County, is obviously a hard bone. As one of the four generals of Taibai, he is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, plus local battles, the defenders in the city are united by his training, and they will not surrender!
Ling Pressure has already released words in the face of Zetan County, which has not been attacked for a long time, if he does not surrender and fight the city, he will definitely slaughter the Taibai thieves, but Feng Hao nailed a hot bone to the city tower, and scolded what Ling Pressure said in vain to suppress Qiang Hu, is he a duck general!
Ling Qian was already angry, so angry that he directly raised Fang Tian's halberd and rushed up directly, he must fight to the death with Feng Hao. If it weren't for Guo Zhun's wit, he ordered Tan Jing to stay by Ling Quan's side, otherwise Ling Zhun would have to suffer a few arrows no matter how angry the central nervous system was damaged.
Ling Quan, who has suffered a loss, no longer dares to act rashly, no matter how unforgiving Ling Quan is now, he will not enter the battle alone like before, because the few bows and arrows that Tan Jing resisted for him are already bloody lessons.
Although Tan Jing was injured, he couldn't stop this tough guy's determination to go to the battlefield, no matter how much Jiang Nan and others dissuaded him, he resolutely refused. In the end, Jiang Nan took out the identity of the lord to suppress it, and almost let Tan Jing swing his sword to kill himself.
According to Tan Jing, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and accidentally obtained a technique that can quickly mobilize the qi of heaven and earth to heal injuries, so as long as this man has not been seriously injured by decapitation and bone removal for so many years, it is not enough to kill him.
Feng Hao, who was standing on the city tower, thought that even if he didn't shoot Tan Jing, he would have to lie on the bed for ten days and half a month, but what he didn't expect was that this brave man would be jumping up and down on the battlefield the next day, which simply made Zetan County stunned.
It was not only Feng Hao's side who was stunned, but even Jiang Nan and the others were quite surprised. In their opinion, Tan Jing just found an excuse to perfunctory himself for the sake of the urgency of the war, but they didn't expect Tan Jing to really be able to restore himself to life, such a tough guy reminded Jiang Nan of an immortal incarnation in the Three Kingdoms era - Zhou Tai!
The miscellaneous things have passed, and then it is a day after day offensive and defensive battles, even if the miracle of Tanjing has greatly boosted the morale of the Jiangnan army, but it still can't break through the iron wall of Zetan County.
Since the Three Tigers of Changling took refuge in Jiangnan, this was the first battle they fought for the Lord, at this time, whether it was Pan Min, who liked to show off his literary talents, Zhou Bi, who was straightforward and reckless, or Zheng Ke, who was thick and fine, they were all convinced of Jiangnan's benevolence and righteousness.
Pan Min has no dissatisfaction with being Ling Pressure's deputy general, because martial artists are all respected by strong positions, and Ling Pressure's strength is obviously higher than his. However, Ling Quan was a little dissatisfied with this guy who had injured his brother, so he pressed the three and his subordinates every time he attacked the city, and did not let them charge.
The siege of the city failed again, and Jiangnan decisively launched a signal to withdraw troops. More than 27,000 soldiers and horses have suffered as many as 1,000 losses after these days of fierce fighting.
But even if a thousand people were injured, it still seemed a little crowded in this temporary camp set up in Jiangnan.
"What the damn terrain!" Jiang Nan cursed fiercely. Zetan County is really true to its name, the county is surrounded by a large number of quagmire swamps, and it is difficult to find a plain to prepare to set up camp, but a careful investigation finds that there are several quagmires in the middle.
It is taboo for an army to divide into multiple battalions, but the only way to divide the military camp into several pieces is to let more than 20,000 soldiers make do with it.
I thought that Jiang Nan, who would be like Xinwei County, could be taken in one fell swoop, and his heart had already begun to run bottomless, and how many days would it take for such an offensive and defensive battle to fall to the ground? The crowded and damp barracks have worn down a lot of their morale!
"What a good thing this is!" Jiang Nan was anxious to turn around in the military tent again and again, and the civil and military cadres under his command were also at a loss.
Guo Zhun didn't bring his wine jug with him in such a serious situation, but at this time he didn't do anything at all, he was good at tricks, and he was helpless under the natural barrier of this tall city wall.
According to his idea, he could only lure Feng Hao's army out of the city, and then ambush a large number of soldiers to strangle them. But how easy is it to lead Feng Hao? This general is just like a hundred-year-old Wang Ba, Ling Yu almost greeted his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, Feng Hao's face changed slightly, and he didn't mean to go out of the city at all!
"If we continue to fight like this, even if we take Zetan County one day, it is estimated that we will be greatly injured, how to face the three counties controlled by Qingguo behind?" Jiang Nan had stopped going around in circles, and sat on the chairman and let out a sigh.
"Is there any way to do it quickly?" Jiang Nan looked at his two strategists and asked again.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult!" Guo Zhun was the first to reply: "This Feng Hao is famous for his patience, it is very difficult for us to lure him out of the city!" ”
Jiang Nan's eyes sharpened and said: "Then what should I do, do you watch our soldiers be injured and die every day, watch our morale decline step by step, and endure Feng Hao's abuse on the city tower every day?" ”
Jiang Nan was already slightly angry, he couldn't stand the setback, what he was most afraid of was watching these soldiers who followed him disappear out of thin air one day, because he was from the earth, and unlike the princes of Kyushu in this era, it was impossible to treat human life like grass.
"Hey!" Guo Zhun sighed deeply, and then looked at Chen Lin and said, "Ask Lao Chen, maybe Lao Chen can have any good way!" ”
Chen Lin listened to the conversation between the two and kept frowning, as if he was thinking about something, so he said: "Actually, Lin has a plan, but before that, Lin has to warn General Ling first!" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Nanxi turned his gaze to Ling Li.
Ling Pressure was also stunned for a moment and said: "You can just say what Lao Chen has, and I'm not a person who can't accept mistakes!" ”
Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "General Ling, if Lin's opportunity can be won, then General Ling must promise Lin not to slaughter all the Taibai thieves!" ”
"Slaughtered all?" Ling Quan was also instinctively startled, and he was also angry, this Zetan County Taibai Righteous Army has not eight thousand but tens of thousands, and if they are all slaughtered, it seems that they will lose their conscience.
"Lao Chen, don't worry, I just said it casually that day, and I won't do such a stupid thing!" Ling Jian said slowly, with a positive look in his eyes.
But this is also the idea of Ling Pressure in the early days, if it arrives, I am afraid that Ling Pressure, who has been through a hundred battles, will definitely scoff at today's thoughts, of course, this is all an afterthought.
Chen Lin nodded, then saluted Jiang Nan and said: "Lin's plan is actually very simple, this Taibai thief wants to consume, so why don't we follow them?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Nan suddenly became interested when he heard this, and all the people in the military tent turned their eyes to Chen Lin, with a trace of puzzlement on their faces, only Guo Zhun had a smile on his face, thinking that he had already guessed Chen Lin's thoughts.
Chen Lin continued: "Since Feng Hao is bent on holding on, and the troops of Zetan County are several times less than our army, why don't we divide the troops into three parts and attack?
General Ling Chongke led 8,000 infantry to storm Zetan County only in the morning.
General Bai Wei led 5,000 cavalry to make a feint in the afternoon, and by the way, cleared the enemy's ambush outside the city.
General Pan Min led his cottage headquarters and a large number of archers to harass Zetan County at night!
The rest of the soldiers can rest, and when the task of one soldier is completed, they can be rotated, so that we can get enough rest! ”
The more Jiang Nan listened, the more he felt that there was some way, and when Chen Lin's words ended, he already weighed it in his heart and said, "Old Chen, what are you talking about, but that tired plan?" ”
"Tired of soldiers?" Chen Lin was a little stunned, as if the four words spit out of his lord's mouth perfectly interpreted his words, and after thinking about it, he said: "The lord is talented!" It's called a tired tactic, and it couldn't be more perfect!
As long as this tired plan is implemented, it will disturb Feng Hao and others in Zetan County day and night, and we can get enough rest, and the large battalion will not be very crowded because of the attack of some soldiers! “
In the end, Chen Lin knocked on his forehead and said, "According to Lin's estimate, in five days, the other party must be exhausted!" ”
…
In the next five days, Jiangnan relied on a large number of generals, and Chen Lin's strategy was properly implemented by the three of them.
In the morning, Feng Hao had to bear the ferocious blows of Ling Zhuan, whether it was the catapults, the collisions, or the deep and terrifying strength of Ling Zhuan, it was like a burden of hundreds of thousands of catties that made Zetan County unable to hold his breath.
And one afternoon, a woman in a wild goose armor led more than 5,000 cavalry to swarm over, not only pulling out all the nails that Feng Hao had planted outside the city, but also shooting the generals on the city tower from time to time to fight back!
The most terrible is the attack at night, the bravery of the three tigers of Changling is well known in this area, under the leadership of Pan Min, before midnight, 10,000 soldiers composed of the original cottage minions and archers equipped with Jiangnan set up a formation, looking like they want to attack your city.
Just when Feng Hao and the others hurried to the city wall, a round of arrow rain came from the pavement, and they had just woken up from their sleep, and people's alertness was not very high. was shot indiscriminately by Pan Minbu, who came prepared, and many soldiers from Zetan County were taken away with their lives!
Such days have been going on, and Feng Hao thought that these soldiers had been drugged after being beaten a few times, but harassing himself in the later days has become a common occurrence in the Jiangnan army.
In the morning, you have to face onslaught, in the afternoon you have to prevent the opponent's feints, and in the evening you have to be shot! Does this Nima still want people to live?
By the night of the fifth day, Feng Hao would no longer be stupid to go to sleep again, at this moment, even if he was physically and mentally exhausted, he could only suppress his sleepiness and sit on top of the city tower.
The lieutenant general that Huang Quan assigned to him had already been shot to death by the hateful Changling thin tiger Pan Min every night, and this thief obviously had the strength to shoot all these lieutenants, but he had to act separately.
"What the hell is trying to torture me!" Feng Hao roared angrily, and at this moment, the soldiers next to him also sounded gongs and drums, because the "network manager" Pan Min came with his troops again!
