readx; Wei Hong's chief of internal affairs did not last long, and three days later, Li Jing arrived outside Yuezhou with an army of 20,000 and joined Yin Kaishan. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Jing is just a soldier send-off, and the position of the chief manager is still Yin Kaishan. A few days ago, Yin Kaishan was given a vote by Li Yuanjing, and there were only 15,000 of the 20,000 troops left, so he didn't dare to act rashly. At this time, the army was filled with another 20,000, becoming 35,000, and Yin Kaishan's temper became bigger like the number of soldiers. On the day he took over the military power from Li Jing, Yin Kaishan waved his hand: "Wei Chigong, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack, be sure to capture the city gate before it falls!" ”

So, Wei Chigong, a coarse man, took 10,000 infantry to attack the city. The result can be imagined, when I went there was an army of 10,000, and when I came back, there were only 6,000 left, which was really a fiasco. Yin Kaishan also overestimated the elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and underestimated Li Yuanjing's shrimp soldiers and crab generals too much. Even Sun Tzu said: "Go to the army to fight, then fight again, fight again, and attack the city again." "This battle is not a joke, it's not a fight if you want to, you don't have more than three or five times the troops, you want to attack the city? That's just a record for the other party!

Li Yuanjing was also happy when he saw that Yin Kaishan had sent such a small number of troops to attack the city. Aren't you going to siege the city? Okay, I'll let you attack! Aren't you specialized in the gates? Well, I'll let you storm the gates too. When Wei Chigong commanded the army to attack the city gate, Li Yuanjing ordered thirty soldiers to stuff the sackcloth into the oil drum, and then ignited the sackcloth and threw it down from the purple of the city gate tower like a bomb. The city gate building is more than 10 meters high to the ground, and the wooden barrel will be broken as soon as it falls to the ground, and the fire oil will splash everywhere, and the flames will also rise suddenly, and often one oil drum can burn dozens of soldiers to death and burn and injure dozens of soldiers. Killing the enemy is secondary, mainly as soon as the fire oil is blown up, the city gate is blocked by the fire wall, there are soldiers behind it, the soldiers in front are unable to retreat and do not advance, in a very embarrassing position, and finally the city gate is not opened, and it is directly burned into charcoal by the fire.

In a very peculiar scene, thirty soldiers hid behind cover, occasionally pushing down an oil drum. There was a scream below, and the soldiers above covered their mouths and stole fun. In the end, the army of 10,000 was repulsed by thirty defenders.

Of course, this failure is only in a strategic sense. After all, there was only one city gate, but the army was so numerous that it could only concentrate a few dozen or a few hundred people to attack the city gate, while the rest of the soldiers watched the play on the side. Yin Kaishan also wanted to take a ladder to attack the city, but after thinking about it, there were many defenders in Yuezhou City, and the ladder was built on the city wall, and he couldn't climb it. It was in the case of timidity that led to the fiasco of this drama.

After learning this painful lesson, Yin Kaishan no longer dared to act rashly, and he paid enough attention to Li Yuanjing's military talent. Comrade Lao Li gave a death order to kill Li Yuanjing immediately, but Li Yuanjing was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. When Yin Kaishan was in a dilemma, Li Jing not only intentionally or unintentionally came to this sentence: "Wei Hong, this kid is a businessman, you let him take care of logistics in the back, aren't you afraid that he will fill his pockets?" Although the first few battles were all victorious, Wei Hong, this kid, spent a lot of money, and he was worried that he had no place to make up for the shortfall. If he were to pull all the food in the army back to Hongyuan Commercial Bank, wouldn't all our soldiers starve to death? ”

Li Jing's words were a joke on the surface, but in fact, they had a deep meaning. Although Yin Kaishan said that he had lost the battle, because the opponent was a strong enemy like Li Yuanjing, there was no way to do it. After all, Yin Kaishan is still a wise and brave general, and looking at the essence through the surface, this kind of thing is still difficult for him. As soon as he heard Li Jing's words, he thought of the battles of Horsehair Mountain, Liangzhou, and Minzhou, and Wei Hong won successive battles. Yin Kaishan immediately ordered Wei Hong to be transferred from logistics to the front line, and gave Wei Hong the rank of a deputy general to participate in the war. This military rank is neither high nor low, just right, so that Wei Hong will not be able to participate in the war with the useless title of 'earl', which will cause people to gossip, and will not be too high to provoke the dissatisfaction of other generals, why is he still a partial general when he goes to the battlefield to kill countless enemies, and he Wei Hong has been the chief of internal affairs for a few days and has been promoted to deputy general?

Don't say it, as the head of internal affairs this day, Wei Hong is still addicted. The so-called greater power brings greater responsibility, and in this logistics, you don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, you don't have to take too much responsibility, and when the war is over, you can still receive a commendation for 'meritorious logistics management', isn't it happy? Besides, it was you Yin Kaishan who kicked me to logistics for no reason as soon as he came up, and now he uses me, and he transferred me to the front line, what's the matter? I'm just so low and you're called to come and go?

Of course, these scratches only dare to be in their hearts, after all, on the surface, Wei Hong can't afford to offend those bigwigs in the barracks. In front of Yin Kaishan, Wei Hong said straightforwardly: "Although the enemy army is numerous, but even occupy Lake and Yuezhou, the army is too scattered, Yuezhou City looks huge on the surface, but in fact, it is just a show, not invulnerable!" Siege the city in full force, and you can attack it. "Wei Hong's meaning is very simple, that is, let Yin Kaishan mobilize all the armies under his command, completely surround Yuezhou City, and launch attacks from all directions. Where there is a city gate, the city gate is attacked, and where there is no city gate, a ladder is built, or a rushing car is directly used to hit the city wall. The city walls are all made of rammed earth, and although they are hard, they can also be knocked out of holes by using a cart or hitting wood with an iron tip. However, this requires an attack on all fronts, so that the defenders do not have the energy to pay attention to rushing the car and hitting the wood, otherwise throw a few boulders from the city wall, or pour fire oil on it, and the car will be completely charged.

After some deliberation, Wei Hong's plan was adopted, and at noon the next day, he launched another attack on Yuezhou City. There are not many other fireoils in Yuezhou City, but there are many fireoils, and I don't know where to get so much fireoil, so is it possible to collect all the fireoil used for lighting in the homes of ordinary people? With Li Yuanjing's style of acting, he can really do this kind of thing. After suffering several losses of fire oil, this time Yin Kaishan learned wisely, so that none of the soldiers brought the skin bags used to hold water for the march, which were filled with water and hung around their waists. If the enemy uses the tactic of burning again, you can use the water in the skin bag to wet your clothes and pants, and use the time when the water cools down to have a buffer whether it is attacking, running, or digging a hole in the same place.

Li Jing even directly proposed to send several carts to fill wooden barrels, fill the barrels with water, and wait at the rear of the battlefield to act as temporary firefighters. After all, if a place like the city gate catches fire, it will still be saved, otherwise the speed of the attack will be delayed. (To be continued.) )
