The night of Tanabata is full of stars, and a gust of wind blows coolness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Li Jing stood up, he thought for a moment before he spoke: "My Datang has been invincible in all these years, and it can be said that the scenery is infinite, and it has always been said that we fight others, and if others want to fight, we must weigh and weigh, and even if others beat us, we only have to attack, not defend, but there are exceptions to everything." ”
When Li Jing said this, he swept the crowd with his eyes, and then continued: "In the north of my Tang Dynasty, the Hu people live by grazing, whenever winter comes, their pasture withers, cattle and sheep have no food, so a large number of deaths, cattle and sheep die, and people are also short of food and clothing, so we often burn and disturb the border of my Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Jing told the story, but everyone listened to it with relish, Tang Zhou and Cheng Chu sat silently on the side, they were also very interested in this, and the reason why they were interested was very simple, first, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was like this, Tang Zhou was already integrated into it, and naturally he was also infected by it, and besides, Tang Zhou's nightlife has always been dull, and it was not easy to have a night banquet, so it was naturally necessary to have a good time, and now listening to Li Jing tell the stories of those battlefield conquests is much more interesting than staying in his own house.
And just when Tang Zhou thought so, several generals couldn't help but urge them.
"Li Weigong, don't grind and chirp, just hurry up and say what the problem is, the old man is in a hurry."
"That's it, don't sell it, let's say."
“………………”
Li Jing smiled, and then said: "What's the hurry, the old man hasn't finished speaking, the Hu people are powerful in iron horses, if they can break through the border defense line, it will be a big threat to my Datang, and they don't have much food and grass, and the speed is very fast, if one day they break through the border defense line and suddenly hit a city inside my Datang, then how should I Datang deal with it?" ”
Li Jing said this, and added: "Let's put it this way, take Yunzhou as an example, in the cold winter of Layue, if one day the Hu people led 10,000 soldiers and horses suddenly came to Yunzhou City, and there were only 1,000 guards in Yunzhou City, but the imperial court soldiers and horses could rush to the rescue at least within a month, then how should the Yunzhou guards defend Yunzhou City with 1,000 soldiers and horses, and wait for the rescue of the imperial court?" ”
After speaking, Li Jing glanced at everyone again, but at this time, a military general immediately stood up and said: "No, no, I have a lot of soldiers and horses on the border of the Tang Dynasty, how can the Hu people break through?" ”
Li Jing shook his head: "Back then, the Turks did not miss our border, and it was not without examples of breaking through the border and breaking in. ”
As soon as Li Jing said this, the official was speechless, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also hurriedly agreed: "Li Weigong's intention is not to say whether it is possible for the Hu people to really fight these, what he wants everyone to do is how to hold the city gate with one-tenth of the enemy's strength within a month." ”
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing smiled and nodded, although the eldest grandson Wuji is a civilian official, he is also quite strategic, and no one will underestimate his advice on military affairs.
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, no one thought about slapping Li Shimin's ass and said that the Hu people couldn't beat him at all, but racked their brains to think about how to resist the enemy's attack with a thousand soldiers and horses.
In fact, these people have always been very confident in the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, they feel that the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are very powerful, not to mention that one enemy is ten, but there should be no problem with one enemy and three, but it is just a soldier of one city, not the elite of Datang, and they may not be able to do it at all.
Therefore, even if you are stupid, you will not think of going out of the city to meet the enemy and fight, and now everyone knows very well that if you want to hold the city gate, you can only defend until the rescue of the imperial court arrives.
Everyone pondered for a moment, and then one of them stood up and said: "The enemy is overwhelming, our army must not fight hard with it, but we can only defend to the death, but we can order the people in the city to rush to make bows and arrows, as long as the bow and arrow are used to suppress the momentum of the enemy's attack, and so on." ”
After the man finished speaking, everyone immediately showed disdain, because he thought things too simply.
"How can the people make bows and arrows if they want to? And the gates are closed, how can the materials for making bows and arrows be obtained? It seems to me that, as a rule of thumb, a bow and arrow in a city with boulders and crosslogs can withstand the enemy's attack for four or five days, and let's not forget that if we can suppress the enemy with a bow and arrow, can't the enemy use a bow and arrow as cover for their besiegers? ”
Yu Chi Baolin seemed to be very unaccustomed to that person's assumptions, so she couldn't help but stand up, and after he stood up and said such a thing, it immediately attracted everyone's side eyes.
"Tiger fathers have no dogs."
"Yes, although our game this time is suspected of being on paper, we can't take everything for granted, and many things still have to be analyzed according to the actual situation."
As everyone said this, Li Jing showed a light smile, and then looked at Yu Chi Baolin and said, "Virtuous nephew, in your opinion, how to defend the city?" ”
Seeing that he was asked, Yu Chi Baolin was not nervous, and said: "Since the time is a cold winter and a moon, the little nephew has a way to try, the Hu people make a living by raising herdsmen, and they must not be good at attacking the city, they either hit the door with a wooden stake, or they use a ladder to climb the city, and in comparison, it takes a long time to hit the door with a wooden stake, although it may succeed in the end, but I think the enemy will drive straight in, there is not much food and grass, and he will not really grind time with us like this, so attacking the city with a ladder will become their main way to attack the city, and the little nephew's idea is like this, At night, he ordered people to pour water on the city walls, and after dawn, the walls must be covered with thick ice, and the ice is very slippery, so that it will not be easy for the enemy to climb the city. ”
When Yu Chi Baolin said this, he smiled: "This method can't completely solve the problem, because the little nephew just said that in addition to using the ladder to attack the city, the enemy can also hit the city gate, and the ladder can't go to the city, they are bound to put the main method on hitting the city gate, so that even if we use sharp arrows and boulders to roll wood, I'm afraid we can only hold the city gate for ten days." ”
Although Wei Chi Baolin is the son of Wei Chi Gong, he is also a little sloppy on weekdays, but he is not much negligent in the art of war, and his ability to analyze things is also very good, and the most important thing is that he is not arrogant, his suggestions are very novel, and it is true that as he said, he can repel several attacks from the enemy, but he did not say that he would be able to guard the city gate for a month because of this.
This is self-knowledge, and not everyone can have it.
After Wei Chi Baolin said this, everyone couldn't help but praise it again, because although the defense of the city was not extended to a month, it was extended from four or five days to ten days, which was also a kind of ability.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin saw this situation, and he was a little unconvinced, so he made silent glances with Cheng Chu and asked him to show it too.
