"There is no living to seek the future, and there is no dead to call the ...... to the after."

"Martyrdom and martyrdom, die as you deserve! If I die, the country will have a day of revival, and the Tao will last forever in the world......"

"Jia Rudao died here!"

Jia Yidao's beautiful words are not only used to speak, but also to write. A white silk banner hangs from the head of Lin'an City to the base of the city wall, on which a mop dipped in ink is written the famous words of Jia Nidao. In the end, a slogan "Jia Rudao died here" was hung on the city wall, as if he was really going to die with the city.

"Straight lady thief, is this Jia Nidao or Tan Sitong!?" Chen Dexing saw these beautiful words clearly through the telescope, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't this Jia Dao Mo possessed by Tan Sitong?" ”

"Sage, who is Tan Sitong?" Yang Po'er, who was following Chen Dexing, had a keen sense of hearing and couldn't understand, so she asked casually.

"Uh, Tan Sitong, right? He is my friend in the light world. "Chen Dexing is also open-mouthed, and you don't need to pay attention when talking to Yang Po'er." Mother-in-law, do you know Jia Nidao? ”

"I've met a few times," Yang Po'er said, "When Jia Nidao was in Yangzhou, Nu Nu was responsible for liaising with him, and most of the time he met Liao Yingzhong, but Jia Nidao also met." ”

"Does he look like a man who sacrificed his life for righteousness?"

Chen Dexing asked such a question, but he already had the answer in his heart. Of course it's no, who is Jia Rudao? O traitor! If he wants to have the courage to die for the country and martyrdom with his body, he should be like Wen Tianxiang to keep Dan in mind, and he will be famous for being a cricket prime minister in future generations?

Yang Po'er smiled and said, "Sage." What do you care about him? Jia seems to be looking for death, don't miss the past. Let him beg for mercy and be benevolent. ”

"Hmph, ask for kindness?" Chen Dexing put down the binoculars. said coldly, "This traitor refuses to die!" He is tossing these now, just to catch the biggest fame, and if he has a name, he will be captured alive...... I can't take his life, I have to eat and drink to raise him! ”

Chen Dexing said his conjecture, which was entirely based on the comments and records of Jia Nidao in later generations. No matter what, there is no doubt that this Jia seems to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Will this happen?" Yang Po'er smiled and lowered her voice, "Sage." Why don't you take a trip for you and help Jia Rudao? ”

"Help?" Chen Dexing sneered, "I want to help, but I don't need your mother-in-law to make a move, I have my own way to make him have to die!" ”

"Oh?" Yang Po'er smiled, "What are the sage's tricks?" Do you need your mother-in-law? ”

Chen Dexing smiled and nodded, "A little trick, mother-in-law, you can bring some people up when the time comes." Just do it......"

……

"Gunsori stay, let's go."

Jia Rudao really moved into a watchtower in the northwest corner of Lin'an City, and naturally there will not be only one bed. He is still the lord of a city, and he is not a prisoner. Inside the watchtower. It has been carefully arranged, first with a feast and then with a fluffy Persian carpet. Wherever there is ventilation, several layers of thick curtains are hung. His beloved concubine Hui Niang also went up to the watchtower. Serve Master Jia closely.

In addition, the towers are still the place where Jia Rudao handles official and military affairs. A table and a bed were put up, and candles were lit because of the lack of light. In the dim light, Jia Rudao was writing a testament with his head down. It is a letter written by the minister to the emperor when he was dying. is a bit similar to a political will, and as usual, you can also recommend a few nephews to be officials in the testament. However, there is no such content in Jia Yidao's testament, only the nonsense of persuading the imperial court to cultivate virtue and politics, win the hearts of the people, drum up morale, unite soldiers and farmers, and fight against thieves to the end.

Putting down the brush, Jia Rudao sighed, and spread the left and right, leaving only Liao Yingzhong.

"Taishi," Liao Yingzhong also knew Jia Yidao deeply, he was silent for a while, and lowered his voice, "Li Xiangfu has already ordered 100,000 elites to go out of the city, digging trenches on both sides of the north and east of the city, but this battle is difficult. You see......"

Hangzhou City is a rectangular city, narrow from north to south, and long from east to west. The Qiantang River in the south and the West Lake in the west are not the terrain where you dig a ditch. Therefore, the trenches of the Ming army are on the northeast two sides of Lin'an City. And Lin'an is a big city, the circumference of the city wall is dozens of miles, just digging ditches in the northeast of Lin'an, but also digging twenty or thirty miles! Not to mention the large amount of work, the garrisons and defenses along the way are not weak. Otherwise, if the Ming army breaks through a little, the entire defense line will collapse, and this trench is dug for the Ming army.

Therefore, Li Tingzhi ordered 100,000 soldiers to go out of the city, and 100,000 people were evenly spread on the front of nearly 278 li, with an average of 3,500 people per mile. This seems to be a lot, but now it is mainly the era of cold weapons, and there are no automatic firearms such as machine guns that can block large areas of the battlefield. The density of 3,500 people per mile was not enough to block the impact of the Ming army. Therefore, Li Tingzhi also asked the troops to build artillery forts on the battlefield, arrange deer barricades, and reject horses, which can be regarded as a little more dependent.

However, whether such a line of defense can keep the Lin'an city wall, Liao Yingzhong is not sure. If this trench falls into the hands of Chen Dexing, Lin'an City is afraid that it will be lost immediately, right?

When the time comes, Jia Rudao is really willing to martyr the Great Song Dynasty?

Jia Rudao just looked at Liao Yingzhong and said in an extremely slow voice: "Qunyu, Junzi Ying...... From this day on, you will be in charge, and this army will be left until the end...... If Xiangfu is defeated, the gentleman's camp will be the last reliance of you and me! ”

You and me?

When Liao Yingzhong heard these two words, she already understood Jia Nidao's thoughts. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...... Jia Rudao's best fate is actually to die in Lin'an City. Death is a good name, and it can be said that death is well deserved. Even if Chen Ming wins the world, he must also look up to such loyal ministers.

Before Chen Dexing won the world, he naturally wouldn't talk about loyalty, but once a major event succeeded, he would inevitably preach loyalty to the monarch - Chen Dexing himself is a demigod and is not afraid of anything, but he also needs to think about it for his descendants, right? When the time comes, Jia Rudao will be a banner of loyal ministers......

"Qunyu!" Jia Rudao looked at Liao Yingzhong and was silent, and suddenly aggravated his tone, "Old man's mind, don't you know yet?" ”

"The student got it!" Liao Yingzhong sighed. Jia seems to say that he just wants to gain fame and life! It's not easy to go down in history and not want to die!

……

Compared with Jia Nidao, who has exhausted all the organs, Li Tingzhi is a relatively pure person. All he was thinking about now was one thing, to fight the big battle in front of him. It's just a good fight, but it's probably impossible to win.

Lin'an city defense is a city wall, the city wall is not enough, what role can the ditch play? Li Tingzhi is not stupid, and naturally knows that the bonus of the trench to the defender is far less than the city wall. In fact, it is better to squat in a trench than to stand on flat ground, and the only function of a trench is to avoid artillery.

Speaking of which, this Li Tingzhi is really a rare military talent in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the shortest possible time, he came up with the only effective tactic against trench siege methods - and the Europeans did this in history! Moreover, he also figured out some ways to make up for the lack of combat strength of the Song army.

For example, a large number of artillery forts were built behind the trenches, and many cannons were removed from the head of Lin'an City to guard the ditch with artillery and protect the artillery with the ditch. In addition, Li Tingzhi also ordered his troops to use trenches to avoid artillery and fight in trenches -- that is, to take refuge in the trenches, and when they were fighting, they would climb out of the trenches and line up behind the trenches. To this end, he also had the sergeants pile the earth dug up in the trench behind the trench to form a low wall.

However, it is still impossible to stop the offensive of the Ming army with these, because the total strength of the Ming army gathered under the city of Lin'an is also more than 100,000, and there are two army-level numbers that are publicly played alone! They are the Ming Army and the Ming Army. In other words, the Ming army was under the city of Lin'an, and there were at least 70,000 soldiers alone.

Unlike the Song army, these 70,000 people can be used intensively! Therefore, Li Tingzhi could not deploy his 100,000 troops evenly, so that he would definitely be hit by the Ming army to make a key breakthrough. Therefore, Li Tingzhi could only deploy part of his forces on a long front, while retaining a strong reserve. But where are these reserves going to be put again? It was too late to walk more than ten miles to the war zone. It would take at least more than an hour for the fully equipped infantry to cover these ten miles!

So Li Tingzhi's biggest difficulty is to guess where the main direction of the Ming army's attack will be?

……

"Sage, the plan of the General Staff Division is to attack on all fronts!"

"All the way around? Isn't it too scattered? ”

In Jiazi Fort in the north of the town, Ren Yijiang and Zhang Xizai were explaining to Chen Dexing the plan they had just formulated. Lu Hu, Monk Liu, Wang Wei, Zhu Sijiu and other military-level generals also gathered around the map table to listen to the lectures, and from time to time some people raised questions.

"There will also be feints to attract the Song army brigade." Zhang Xizai explained, "All the artillery of the army and division will be concentrated in the westernmost section of the Song army's battle line to cover the attack of ten military brigades. The siege artillery division will also send 12 10-inch mortars to participate in the bombardment. It is believed that the Song army can concentrate its main force on the westernmost section. ”

"So how many troops are put into other lots?"

"Twenty-four brigades of the upper, middle, and lower armies will launch a fierce attack on the twenty-four mile front. For every mile, a brigade of troops will be thrown. The General Staff Department has already calculated that an attack on all fronts is the most beneficial to the superiority of our troops. It can also break the largest number of Song army training troops in one fell swoop. ”

"In addition, the attack will be launched in three days' time."

It is equivalent to 0:00 in the morning in the West, which is the time to sleep most soundly, and of course, the best time to launch a night attack. Moreover, the visibility at this time was very poor, and the Song army had no way to distinguish between the military household soldiers and the sergeant soldiers, and could only judge the position of the main force of the Ming army by the concentration of artillery fire.

By the time the Song army found out that something was wrong, their main force had already missed the opportunity to reinforce the front line. (To be continued......)
