For siege, where to start is a big problem, and under normal circumstances, experienced commanders will choose the weakest defense gates to start, gather the strongest forces, and use force to take the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Qian Fang to ask this, although the artillery is constantly bombarding the east gate of Nanchang, and the city defense is the weakest, but the rebels in the city must also know this, so they will definitely gather most of their forces to the east gate in case of contingency, so that it is more difficult to attack the city from the east gate than the other gates.

Since Qian Fang mentioned this problem, Liu Chengfeng naturally had to make a decision, he pondered for a moment, and said: "It stands to reason that the East Gate is the most difficult to overcome, after all, the city wall there is seriously damaged, and the rebels will definitely increase the strength of the defense, but then again, Zhu Jinjun has always been extremely cunning, we can think of this, he can also think of this, and he can also think of this, and he will attack the East Gate, and now he will personally supervise the formation, and tell the soldiers of the whole army that as long as they are willing to use their lives, the official will ensure that they are promoted and make a fortune, but if anyone dares to drop the chain, the official will also kill people!" ”

Liu Chengfeng's order was issued, and then everyone dispersed in a hurry, each went to prepare, in order to successfully attack the east gate, the army was divided into several roads, making a gesture of feint attack on the other gates, in order to confuse the rebels in the city.

And the artillery of the east gate is still non-stop and sleepless bombardment of the east gate, the entire east city wall is already a mess, the city wall in many places has cracks and collapses, that is, even the city gate building has been bombed to the surface, the defenders do not dare to come out at all, Yang Biao has begun to assemble with thousands of troops, in this cold weather, Yang Biao is shirtless, or according to the previous pioneer routine, let the brothers each eat a bowl of wine, after the wine belly, people's faces began to redden, the body began to steam, Immediately, Yang Biao carried the knife and said loudly: "On the order of the Qincha, you will break the city with a certain person, the Lord Qincha has already been rewarded, as long as the city is broken, you and I will be the first merit, and there will be a heavy reward, today Lao Tzu personally took the lead, and the big guy rushed inside, and those who want to marry a daughter-in-law will come with me!" ”

For these rough people, there is no need to say anything loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but the more simple the truth, the better, as a military household, most of them are poor, and no one is willing to marry them. The so-called Huichang is located in the southern part of Jiangnan, where there are many mountains, very little arable land, and relying on Guangdong and other places that are not very developed at this time, so many people there are poor and deprived of their families, but even so, for the local married families, the men of Huichang are much better than the military households.

Although this is a slang phrase, it also shows that there are too many military households in these years to fight singles, and it is true that these military households under Yang Biao are stationed in southern Jiangnan, and it is really difficult for poor people to find a daughter-in-law, many people can only beat singles for a lifetime, and marrying a daughter-in-law is a very attractive thing for them.

So everyone shouted together, and raised their weapons under the influence of alcohol.

The combat power of the guards in various places is different, generally speaking, the richer the place, the lower the combat power, while the old and young border poor areas can always take some table, Yang Biao's troops are also considered to be the elite of the major battalions, for a while, everyone is like a rainbow, braving artillery fire, Yang Biao aimed at a collapsed city wall gap, gritted his teeth: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Everyone rushed up and rushed towards the city wall without any rules.

Liu Chengfeng, who was supervising the battle in the rear, was speechless for a while, he expected all kinds of siege situations, but he didn't think that they were attacking the city like this, the so-called siege was not the slightest tactic at all, even Qian Fang on the side couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say: "My lord, they are only afraid of what effect they will have in attacking the city like this, you look at them, they are rushing to kill the past, they don't know how to disperse the formation, and how to cooperate in teams, as long as there is a gap in the city behind the army and horses of King Ning to block, or the defenders come out to attack, I'm afraid that I won't need a cup of tea to fight back, otherwise let the new army go, as long as I can enter the city, I will be able to take the city with humility. ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "Since King Ning ascended the throne in the city, this is deliberately to lure us to attack the city, so in my estimation, they must be completely prepared, now is the time when the defenders are the strongest, if the new army goes up, I am afraid that the damage will be great, don't worry, wait first." ”

After Qian Fang heard this, he stopped talking, Liu Chengfeng suddenly looked back at him, and said with a faint smile: "What? Think I'm being too partial to you by doing this? Liu Chengfeng stared at the city wall in the distance: "If I was still a down-and-out scholar, if I encountered such a thing, I would be resentful, and if I was still a hundred households, maybe I would also feel that this is a bit favoritism." But now I am no longer the down-and-out scholar and the humble captain and the hundred households, I must consider the overall situation, not the so-called justice, since it is a war, someone must sacrifice, but some people can not give up and sacrifice the usefulness of the court, and some will need to borrow weight from the court in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice until the last resort, the official must learn to make trade-offs, only if he can make trade-offs, can he make the most correct choice. ”

Qian Fang was silent, he couldn't think of why Lord Qincha said this to him.

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "There is no fairness in this world, everyone has a price, even you and me, why not?" So if a person is not willing to be a bargaining chip for others, and is not willing to be a pawn that others will discard, then he must prove that he is more useful than others, Qian Commander, you are a useful person, the New Army is a useful person, and the official is also a useful person, do you understand? Liu Chengfeng looked at him with burning eyes, and the look in his eyes did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations, in fact, as he said, in fact, to his status, many fresh lives are only left in his eyes, and there may even be people who are not even numbers, as early as after Liu Chengfeng entered Jinyiwei, he understood this truth, he is not willing to be manipulated by others, then he must climb up step by step, prove that he is useful, Liu Chengfeng bluntly told Qian Fang, It's not just because of the whimsical emotion, it's just to tell Qian Fang that the new army has certainly made some achievements at the moment, but it must not be complacent, the new army must be stronger, stronger than others, and when it is strong to a certain extent, it will not be used as cannon fodder at will, and cannon fodder is very unpromising.

Cannon fodder is indeed not very promising, Yang Biao and his subordinates are indeed the best in terms of courage, but courage alone is not enough, when they approached the city wall, the sound of artillery finally stopped, which was naturally to prevent the consideration of hurting their own people, but as soon as the cannon stopped, as Liu Chengfeng expected, the rebels who were pressed behind the female wall and did not dare to stick out their heads finally showed their faces, and then one after another bows and arrows were set up, and the artillery on the city that had not yet been smashed began to be fiddled with, and then, the arrows were like flying locusts, poured down like rain, some of the remaining artillery finally made a sound, not close to the city, the damage has been heavy, Yang Biao's troops are also fierce, brave this rain-like arrows finally rushed to the gap in the city wall, desperately trying to kill into the city, and the gap has already become the focus of the rebels' defense, the two sides are fighting fiercely at the gap, but after all, one side is tired, one side is waiting for work, not to mention that the defenders have a steady stream of reserves to replenish, the vanguard of the siege has suffered heavy losses, and can not retreat, I can't get in and I can't get in.

Liu Chengfeng, who supervised the battle in the rear, squinted, although he couldn't see what was happening under the city, but he had already guessed the result, and then he issued the first order after the war: "Pass the order, Yang Biao's department is brave and take the lead, the official is deeply admired, Yang Biao is the first soldier, is the example of the three armies, if Nanchang is conquered, the official will definitely promote him to be the marquis, the official worships the general soldier, as for the rest of the soldiers, if they are killed, they will be rewarded and buried, if all the surviving officials are promoted to one level, and the reward is fifty taels of silver." ”

Liu Chengfeng paused, and then said: "Convey this order immediately, and let the second team rush up to replenish it." ”

On the positions of the various departments, the news of the reward was immediately conveyed, and the herald on a fast horse repeated Liu Chengfeng's words over and over again, and at the same time, another battalion of military horses was ready, and these people were all gearing up, envious of Yang Biao's troops from top to bottom, and then rushed up to kill.

Liu Chengfeng sat firmly on a chair on a hill, condescendingly watching countless people rush towards the city wall like ants, hearing the shouts of countless people, but the face was unmoved, in fact, there is no trick to attack the city, it is nothing more than an attack on both sides and a defense, the attacker only needs to find the weak point of the other party, and launch a steady stream of impacts, but this impact is also particular, one is that the gap in the city wall is not big, so there is no need to bet all the power on, if so, It looks terrifying, but once the defenders are resisted, it will be considered a waste of success. Therefore, the general siege method is to go up one by one, the first wave reaches the critical point, and the second wave is filled, until the enemy's morale is disintegrated, or it occupies the gap, and then the whole army will attack, and the city will be conquered in one fell swoop, Liu Chengfeng said that they are cannon fodder, which makes sense, these people braved arrows and artillery fire to launch a ** impact, what they did was to snatch the place where the gap was slap big, and prepare for the real elite soldiers to seize the city.
