Chapter 9: The Strength of the Feather is Better Than Poison (8)
This king really has some sympathy for the Luoyang guard Zhang Dong......"
Looking at the battle situation on the southern city wall of Luoyang from afar, Li Shou sighed slightly, hearing this, Xie Anxin couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
Even in his opinion, the transfer of troops before and after Zhang Dong can only be said to be in order, without the slightest mistake.
Even the first wave of the offensive led by Upen as a cover.
In all fairness, if he Xie An was placed in Zhang Dong's position, he would also think that it was a move made by the Zhou army in the western expedition to fill the moat, and then asked his subordinates to use rockets instead.
As for the second wave of the offensive, given the momentum of Qi Hao's army, anyone will send additional defenders to strengthen the garrison of the southern city wall.
As for the offensive after the third wave, it is needless to say, this kind of simple war of attrition, the fight is long-lasting, to see who can't support it first, exhausting the hole cards in the hand.
Therefore, all of Zhang Dong's responses are not wrong, and any position in his position will do so.
o Ah, it's not that Zhang Dong is too weak in his troops, but that the eldest grandson Xiangyu's design is too powerful, from the beginning of lighting black smoke in the moat, this woman has grasped the initiative of the entire southern city wall of Luoyang.
And the more cautious Zhang Dong is, the more miserable he loses...... If he hadn't thrown 20,000 reserve troops into the southern city wall, but had seen the opportunity and gone out of the city to face the battle, he would never have lost so badly, and the loss was so inexplicable.
Looking at the indifferent look of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An couldn't help but recall what Liang Qiuwu had said to him.
Now, Xie An finally fully understands the true meaning of Liang Qiu Dance's words.
It is undeniable that the eldest grandson Xiangyu initially used Zhang Dong's cautious psychology to create black smoke that can be fatal to the defending side of the city, this hand is very beautiful, but in comparison, Xie An admires this woman more than another point, that is, Jing has a good grasp of the situation.
If she hadn't seen the opportunity for Zhang Dong to invest his troops to recover the disadvantage, she sent that strange army, causing immeasurable casualties to the city, thus cutting off the opponent's morale in one fell swoop, this battle would never have been so easy.
As for the later war of attrition, in fact, it is not a strategy, the advantages accumulated in the previous time are enough for Liu Yi to forcibly attack the city wall, but this woman did not, she saw the difference in morale between the two sides, and continued to slowly consume the living forces in the city, eating Zhang Dong's troops little by little, just like an economic war, forcing Zhang Dong to only use the power at hand to protect the disk, instead of trying her best to counterattack.
And when Zhang Dong realized this huge mistake, it was too late, and the troops he had left were not enough to fight against the 40,000 Zhou army.
boiled frogs in warm water, Zhang Dong, a lively frog, was scalded to death by the pot of boiling water that was gradually heating by the eldest grandson Xiangyu unconsciously...... What a clever psychological warfare!
Oh, that Zhang Dong, I'm afraid I haven't even figured out how I lost, being a general and doing this can be regarded as a person who has never entered the past and no one who has come after...... Wrong!
That can't be said to be his fault!
What Zhang Dong thought about was just to defend Luoyang, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu not only wanted to take Luoyang, but also to seize the remaining two rebel forces, a military camp near Bishan, and a small city called Guo.
These two are not only too different in terms of wisdom, but also have a difference in vision!
Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but sigh secretly, continued the topic just now, and said, "Xiangyu, are you so sure that the Bishan Military Camp and Guo Cheng will send reinforcements here?" β
According to yesterday
I remembered the march map seen by Yanshi, Xie An still remembered that there was a military camp on the northeast side of Bishan, forty miles away from Luoyang Dong, where the rebel general Zhou Liang had about 10,000 troops; And in the southeast corner of Luoyang, twenty or thirty miles away, there is also a small city called it.
The forces of these three rebels covered the Yanshi in a zigzag shape, forming a trend of corners, advancing and retreating together, and it was difficult to deal with, which was also the reason why Zhu Cang and Yang Jin, who were stationed in the Yanshi, did not dare to act rashly before.
"Bishan Military Camp and Guo Cheng will definitely send reinforcements here!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled conceitedly when he heard this, played with the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Nanguo Gong Lu Song led 8,000 southern troops to cross Luoyang and march towards Hangu Pass. In my opinion, the location of the barracks in this camp is not a wonderful place for soldiers to fight, but it is just the flank army of Luoyang, in order to lead the troops to attack from behind when the Western Expeditionary Army surrounds Luoyang, and attack from both sides...... Since he didn't send his pursuers to chase after Nanguogong, in other words, his task was only to assist Zhang Dong in defending Luoyang! ββNow that Luoyang is being attacked by our army, how can Zhou Liang stand idly by? β
She's really calculated!
Xie An secretly sighed in his heart, frowned and said, "In this case, you should storm Luoyang, isn't your previous purpose to hit the morale of the defenders in the city?" And once Zhou Liang led the army to come to the aid and attack our army from behind, no matter how many reinforcements there were, it would inevitably boost the morale of the defenders in the city! β
"Demoralize the defenders of the city...... Do you see that? The eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at Xie An deeply, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Xie An, do you know what the way to use soldiers is?" β
Is this woman testing herself?
Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in astonishment, Xie An thought about it, as if reciting, and said endlessly, "With the law of war, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good of the bad is also good; The soldiers who succumb to it without a fight, and the good ones are also good. -- Therefore, the first army was attacked, then the enemy was attacked, and the second army was attacked, and the city was attacked. The method of siege is a last resort. It will be overwhelming and the ants will possess it, kill one-third of the soldiers, and those who will not pull out the city will also be attacked by this disaster. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, succumb to the army instead of fighting, pull into the city instead of attacking it, and destroy the country instead of long, they will fight for all of it, so the army will not be able to gain all of it, and the method of attacking is also ......"
Speaking of this, Xie An looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with some smugness, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Thank you, in the ancient literature class when I was in school, the ancient texts that the teachers forced me to memorize finally had a place to use.
Indeed, don't blame Xie An for being so proud, you must know that Li Shou next to him was almost dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xie An in disbelief, which made Xie An even more proud, and glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu intentionally or unintentionally.
This is "Sun Tzu. As for the "Attack Chapter", it took me a long time to memorize it word for word...... How's that, chick!
But to Xie An's astonishment, the eldest grandson Xiangyu Jing shook his head with a disappointed expression, sighed, and muttered, "Let me down, Xie An, I thought you were already standing at a height about the same height as me...... Am I overestimating you? β
How...... What's going on?
Xie An looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in disbelief, stunned for a while, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "This is "Sun Tzu. Conspiracy Chapter" o Ah! - You crazy woman who doesn't know the goods in the end! β
A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and he said lightly, "Sun Tzu. Plotting to attack? So what? β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Xie An's sluggish expression, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sneered and said, "I can recite dozens of articles for you on such a boastful way of using troops!" ββIt's just rote memorization of a few articles that I don't know about the so-called art of war, what's there to be proud of? β
"No...... I don't know what to say? Xie An's mouth opened wide in astonishment.
This woman is also arrogant, right? Jing Ran said that Sun Tzu didn't know what to say about the Art of War?
Besides, not everyone has a terrifying memory like you, bastard!
Thinking of this, Xie An looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu angrily.
Perhaps noticing Xie An's unkind gaze, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, just take your answer!" In other words, what do you think is the way to use the army, which the sages called it? β
"Yes...... Not? Wenva? β
"Don't you even know that?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu frowned and looked at Xie An, she could see that she was a little disappointed, and after a short pause, she shook her head and said, "It is one of the specific applications, as for what kind of strategies are the competition...... This kind of low-level thing, go back and flip through the book yourself! β
"You guy......" Xie An gritted his teeth hatefully, and said with a bit of mockery, "Low-level things, o?" ββIsn't the trick you're using now also such a low-level thing?! β
"Oh? Really? The eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at Xie An with a smile, which made Xie An gradually feel unconfident.
Looking at Xie An's bewildered appearance, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled and said, "Although it is also a strategy to attack the heart, I don't use it, but!" - Wenhua takes too long, I don't like it, I'm used to crushing my opponent as fast as possible! β
ββ¦β¦β
"It is undeniable that the sage's so-called cultural expedition does have its own uniqueness, the first army to attack the plan, then the war, the second war, and the second attack, and the next siege city...... Enough can be the supreme method of flawlessness! - But you have to remember one thing, if my Great Zhou could really force the rebels to surrender without a fight with this supreme and flawless force, then you and I would not have appeared here with tens of thousands of troops! - Oh, it's because you can't do it that you want to attack the city! It's time to hand over the troops! β
ββ¦β¦β
"A clever plan lies in the cause of the plan! - If there is any flaw in the opponent, find out and give the thunder a blow! And if the opponent doesn't have any flaws, it's creating flaws! -- This is the way my eldest grandson Xiangyu used his soldiers! β
"Wei ...... Afraid? Xie An looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu as if he didn't understand.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu frowned slightly, as if she wanted to explain something, and suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she turned her head to look in the direction of the city wall on the east side of Luoyang, and slowly raised the folding fan in her hand.
"It's already started...... Xie An, take a closer look with your eyes! -- What is deterrence? β
Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An frowned slightly, raised the monocular in his hand, and looked in the direction that the folding fan in the woman's hand was pointing into.
"It's ......"
-- Time goes back to a moment ago, outside the east wall of Luoyang -- just when the eldest grandson Xiangyu saw the opportunity and sent the cavalry archers to interrupt the morale of the defenders of the south wall of Luoyang, outside the east wall of Luoyang, Fei Guo, the chief general of the east wall of Luoyang, was slowly pulling his 10,000 men out of the forest, and outside the east wall of Luoyang, slowly and methodically lined up the team.
"O, o, a, those guys from Liu Yi in the south are already on fire!"
Perhaps noticing the shouting and killing in the south, the deputy general Qin Can grabbed his hair with an unhappy face, and looked at the east city wall of Luoyang that was close at hand with a complicated gaze.
"It's O, I don't know what the current battle situation is......" Another lieutenant Zheng Bin sighed slightly when he heard this, and then said self-deprecatingly, "I'm also experienced in a hundred battles, right?" Race to be one
The stinky little girl is snorting and drinking, this matter is spreading, I really don't know where to put this face......"
"Put it on the head!" The main general, Fei Guo, said lightly.
Qin Can and Zheng Bin were stunned, they knew that Fei Guo was reminding them of the lessons of Zhu Cang, Yang Jin and others.
Licking his lips, Qin Can shook his head and said, "That woman is too ruthless, Zhu Cang and Yang Jin are also generals of the third and fourth grades, and they will kill if they say they will kill them, and they will also frame a rebellion...... It's hard to imagine that the female Jingran will be the granddaughter of Yin Gong! β
"Isn't it!" Following Qin Can's words, Deng Bin cursed in a low voice, "I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never heard of any sin of joint sitting, that woman entered, it was really a shame that she could think of it!" β
"Do you believe it or not?" Fei Guo turned his head and asked.
"......" Zheng Bin opened his mouth, recalling the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu at that time, and couldn't help but scold, "Letter!" How not to believe it? Looking at the look in the eyes of that woman at that time, it seemed as if she was ready to kill us and others...... This madman! - Isn't she afraid of causing a mutiny? β
Fei Guo smiled faintly and said slowly, "But in the end, wasn't it pressed down?" There are 100,000 soldiers in the entire Yanshi, and no one dares to be presumptuous...... I'm scared! As he spoke, he glanced at his two colleagues and whispered, "The spirit of being entered by that woman......
"......" Qin Can and Zheng Bin glanced at each other and were silent.
After half a sound, Qin Can couldn't help but say, "Hey, do you believe it, what that woman said?" β
"Don't need a general's art of war?" Zheng Bin asked suspiciously.
"Hmm!"
Zheng Bin frowned when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it much, it's just ...... What if you don't believe? That woman was too arbitrary, and the deceased General Wu had to convene all the generals to discuss before the battle, and the woman was good, standing stupidly in front of the marching map for half a year, and said that she would take Luoyang and the surrounding Bishan military camp and Guocheng within a lifetime, and said that it was our fault that she couldn't take it...... Are you kidding? Lao Tzu really wanted to kill her at that time! β
"Then why don't you do it?" Qin Can teased with a smile.
Zheng Bin glared at his colleagues angrily and said, "The four generals of the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion are here!" What kind of Xiang Qing was already holding the hilt of the sword and glaring at me at that time, do I dare to move? A little rash, I am not the only one who died, my mother raised me as a son with hard work, and in the end I was guilty of rebellion, am I worthy of her old family? - Don't talk about me, didn't you have an angry face at the time, but you were just frightened by that Chen Gang and flinched! β
"That Chen Gang is in the battlefield of northern Hebei, but he has the outstanding deeds of three hundred into the attack of tens of thousands of Beirong wolf riders...... At that time, the three hundred Eastern Army were all dead, and there was only that guy left, and he still rushed to kill the enemy army when he entered the house, it was simply dead, this kind of ruthless sΓ¨, do you dare to change you? β
"I've heard about this too, that's what Chen Gang is called...... I heard that when Liang Qiuwu, the commander of the Eastern Army, arrived at that time, the guy had half a life left, and he was delirious chewing on an enemy ear...... I'm going to throw up......"
"It's O, Yan Kai, who is known as the best at defensive warfare, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, Luo Chao...... I still can't figure it out, how could the four generals of the Eastern Army's Shenwu Battalion help the powerless Nine Emperor Prince Li Shou? β
Glancing at the chattering Erjin, Fei Guo interjected and said, "It's not His Royal Highness Li Shou, it's that Xie An!" β
"Huh?" Qin Can and Deng Bin looked at each other and said suspiciously, "Xie An? The general who can exercise the duties of supervising the army? β
"Well, it's said that he's the husband of that Liangqiu dance......"
"Liangqiu Dance?" Qin Can gasped when he heard this, and said in disbelief, "How is it possible?!" β
"How did General Fei know?" Deng Bin looked at Fei Guo suspiciously.
Fei Guo was stunned when he heard this, a trace of unnatural expression flashed on his face, and he said with a smile, "I'm just hearsay, maybe it's not like that......"
"Something must have gone wrong!" Qin Can shook his head with relief.
As soon as the words fell, Deng Bin frowned and said, "But if this is the case, then it can be explained, why the four generals of the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion appeared here, and those Beirong wolf riders...... I heard that this gang joined the Eastern Army to feed the horses, and no one except Liangqiu Dance was ......"
"......" Fei Guo glanced at Deng Bin when he heard this, and for some reason, he suddenly diverted the topic.
"It's almost time to attack the city, so let's get ready!"
Qin Can and Deng Bin listened to it, and immediately ended the topic of speculating about Xie An's identity.
"What is there to prepare? It's just a feint, send a team of soldiers up, and you can retreat with a round of arrows in the city......"
"Yes," Deng Bin sighed, shook his head and said, "I really don't know what that woman is thinking......
"I still remember what she said," shrugging his shoulders, Qin Can's senior Sun Xiangyu made a gesture of opening the folding fan, and pretended to say, "Dot! -- Your task is to firmly occupy the position outside the eastern city wall, and Hugh will call reinforcements to cross you and other soldiers and horses, and attack the flank of Liu Yi's army......"
"Vivid!" Deng Bin stroked his palms and laughed, and then couldn't help but mock, "That woman is talking a lot of nonsense, and she still says that even the speed of the trip of the reinforcements in the Bishan military camp is calculated...... Hey! The promised time has come, what about Zhou Liang's reinforcements? Well? β
At this time, Qin Can, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder with a sluggish face, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the far north.
"Do what?" Deng Bin glanced at Qin Can in surprise, looked in the direction he was pointing, and vaguely saw that on the far north side, it seemed that a group of soldiers and horses was rapidly approaching this place.
"No...... Would it? Deng Bin's eyes widened, looking at the north in disbelief, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted urgently, "Pass the order, change the formation!" Fast! -- The military advisor has an order to defeat the enemy army that comes to the aid of the enemy within a moment! - Otherwise, I'll be killed! β
When he roared, Qin Can also came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Don't take care of the defenders in the city, and I have General Li Jing on the northeast side to resist for us...... The front and back teams are inverted to meet the incoming reinforcements! Don't miss out! β
"Yes!"
"Quick! Fast! β
Looking at the soldiers under their command who were chaotic and changing formations, Qin Can and Deng Bin glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Oops, it's important to complete the change of formation before the enemy reinforcements arrive!
Otherwise, if you join the gang, you will be in big trouble......
