Thanks to the students' corrections, the word "autumn harvest" has been changed.
——
When they arrived at King Yan's Mansion, Deng She and Hong Jixun came to the study.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, the two sat down. Tasting the tea brought by the maid, Deng She motioned for his subordinates and guards to withdraw from the outside, and ordered He Guangxiu and Shi Sanqian, the captain of his own soldiers, to be in charge of the guard in the courtyard, and not to allow idle people to approach. Everything was arranged, and he asked slowly: "On the way to Shicai, Mr. said that he was not only worried about the wheat harvest, but also worried about Shanzhou. I don't know what I mean? ”
"Shanzhou has just received the wooden kite, and I don't know if it has been used. Now it's raining, and if it rains heavily, it will be difficult for the wooden kite to fly. The wooden kite can't fly into the sky, and the breaking of the city will be delayed. Once the breach of the city is postponed, I am afraid that the grain and straw on the front line of our army will not be enough. This was Chen's first concern. ”
"Shanzhou has just received all kinds of things from wooden kites" Yunyun is a military report from Shanzhou that was received in the morning. So Hong Jixun has this to say.
"What's the second concern?"
"Even if Zhao Zuocheng's movements are very fast, he has used wooden kites and burned the enemy's grain and grass, but heavy rain is not conducive to attacking the city, let alone field warfare, and it is impossible to destroy the strong enemy in one go, which will inevitably give the Yuan army a chance to survive. This is the second concern of the minister. ”
"Is there a third concern?"
"The lord attaches great importance to firearms, guns, artillery, rockets, grenades, mines and other things, which are available to all armies on the front. Now that it's raining, if you use it well, grenades and mines may be fine, but firearms, artillery, and rockets will inevitably be affected. Without artillery, especially rockets, our army would be missing a big weapon! This is the third concern of the minister. ”
If you don't have a firebolt, you can use a bow and crossbow instead; Even if there is no artillery, it can be replaced by a trebuchet. But the most important thing is that without rockets, the method of "fire attack" cannot be used.
If it is an ordinary battle, it doesn't matter if it can't be attacked by fire, and the key thing is that there is an "ironclad army" in the Yuan army.
Hong Jixun and Deng She had repeatedly deduced and imagined many ways to deal with the "ironclad army", but in the end they unanimously came to the conclusion that no matter what method was used, the casualties of the Yan army would inevitably be heavy; There is only one way to destroy the enemy lightly and the Yan army will not suffer too many casualties, and this method is fire.
And, just yesterday, this strategy to destroy the enemy was sent to the front line. However, people are not as good as the sky, how can they not be calculated, but at this moment, it will actually rain.
If it doesn't rain much, maybe it's okay. But looking at the weather and the rain, it doesn't look like a "light rain", let alone a "shower".
In short, Hong Jixun's concern is actually only one point: he is worried that this rain will affect the battle on the front line and will produce an unfavorable situation for his army. Deng She nodded and asked, "Are there any other worries besides these three worries?" ”
"Yes."
"Please."
"If the front line cannot be quickly resolved because of this rain, we will inevitably continue to transport grain to the front line. First, I have no storage; Second, even if support from North Korea, South Korea, and Liaoyang arrives soon, if the rain continues, the roads will be muddy, and it will be very difficult to transport grain, and the loss will definitely increase significantly. The independent public income has come to the capital, and there are almost monthly wars, and there is a lack of food many times. It was easy to wait for the wheat harvest, and it was easy to wait for the support of Liaoyang, North Korea, and South Korea, but the loss was increased by the rain, which was really worse. Even if the front line is defeated, it will definitely hurt our vitality! ”
If the single-state front cannot win quickly because of the first three worries, it will lead to the emergence of the fourth worry. Hong Jixun still hasn't said a word, but he doesn't need to say it, Deng She also knows it in his heart.
- If his fourth worry becomes a reality, under the great damage of vitality, Yidu, I am afraid he will not be able to save it. Since the beginning of the capital, after two major battles for several months, one defending and one attacking, I am afraid that it will become a waste of work, harming others and not benefiting oneself, and cheapening Polo, Jiangnan and other forces for nothing.
From this, a conclusion can be drawn: neither can occupy Yidu, but can only return to Liaodong. If you retreat to Liaodong, and then you want to go south, and then you want to chase the Central Plains, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, and it is not a fantasy.
……
This is the latest battle report from Shanzhou that has not yet reached Yidu, so Hong Jixun and Deng She do not know that the front line has burned the grain of the Yuan army with wooden kites, and the enemy and our armies have already begun to fight in the field. However, even if he didn't know, Hong Jixun's second and third worries were still very much in line with the situation on the front line.
Rain is not good for field battles, and rain is not good for firearms.
Zhao Guo is indeed having a headache with these two problems.
……
The boundless drizzle poured down, wetting the yellow smoke rolling up from the sky, and the dust slowly settled, revealing the whole picture of the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, under the command of different military flags and under the urging of different drums and horns, mixed together, hugged each other in front and squeezed behind, fighting and fighting. The armor was quickly wet, and the blood stains on the blades were quickly diluted. The rain hazy his eyes, the enemy was just a stone's throw away, and he didn't have time to draw his hand to wipe it, the spear stabbed out fiercely, and the splash of blood instantly stained the rain curtain in front of him. The warhorses that have lost their owners are wailing beside them. Another rousing drum sounded, and the battle flag was soaring.
Regardless of the warring parties, the officers are taking the lead, and the swords are slashing; Thousands of soldiers followed closely behind the minister, old or young, and their bodies were colliding. Everyone was shouting, Chinese, Jurchen, Mongolian, and even all kinds of color languages, countless voices converged into the sky above the battlefield, breaking through the rain curtain and tearing the clouds. This sound can make a tiger tremble, and this sound can make a storm change color. Everyone who hears it, the timid frightened, the bold blood. They were all shouting, "Kill! ”
Yuan Array, Left Wing.
Under the leadership of Tong Shengyang, the Yan army had completely defeated the position locked by Bai and penetrated deep into Hulinchi's formation. Because black smoke rose from the moat one after another, the soldiers of the Yuan army heard that Gao Yanshi burned the drawbridge and the retreat was cut off, so the morale was low and the army was panicked. Although the generals and colonels have repeatedly encouraged them, they can no longer stop the offensive of the morale of the "head cavalry".
At this time, Sain Chida led his troops and rushed to the battle.
"Where is Hu Lin Chi?"
Hearing the call of the herald, Hu Linchi retreated from the front of the formation and came to see Sainchi.
Sainchi looked at him suddenly, and saw that he was covered in blood, his armor was scarred, seven or eight broken arrows were inserted in it, and he was holding a hundred steel knives in his hand. Obviously, he had just experienced a bloody battle ahead.
Sainchi took down his steel knife with his own hands, pulled out his saber, handed it over, and did not say much, a simple sentence: "The knife is continuous, people do not die, and they are not allowed to take a step back!" ”
"My lord, the last general is not afraid of death. But the drawbridge was destroyed, and the brothers were terrified! ”
"I have transferred iron armor and spears to the rear of the battle to help, and I have ordered Yan Sixiao to leave the city. Just one Gao Yonsei, but hundreds of light horsemen, can be wiped out with a snap of a finger. Why are you worried? attacked Bianliang on the same day, Han Lin'er and Liu Futong's generation were not opponents, and they fled in embarrassment; Now a little Zhao Guo and Tong Shengyang make you so frightened? If you're scared, don't go ahead. Ben will go to fight the thieves himself! ”
As if he had been insulted, Hu Linchi wiped the rain, sweat, and blood from his face, turned his eyes on the knife, and shouted: "Use a knife to kill chickens!" Don't go to the Lord in person, and see the thief in the end! Without saying a word, he turned around and ran forward again.
Sainchi replied to a general beside him and said, "Hu Linchi is not wrong. My lord, the right thief burned my suspension bridge, and the whole army saw it; Moreover, the three armies of the red thieves shouted in unison, shouting the so-called 'high thieves are mighty', which really made the morale of our army a little depressed. Since the lord has ordered Yan Sixiao and the generals to leave the city, why not send an envoy to inform the whole army? To reverse the disadvantage of our army? ”
Sain replied with a flickering bow, and ordered: "Choose the soldiers with loud voices, and go to the front first, and then to the battalions." Let's just say that Yan Gong and the others have already left the city, and they have already killed the thief general Gao Yanshi! ”
Soldiers don't get tired of deceit. Whether he beheaded Gao Yonsei or not, more than ninety percent of the enemy and our soldiers don't know. As long as this sentence is passed on, the morale of the Yuan army will definitely be greatly boosted. Many heralds were spreading the word here, and suddenly there was a commotion behind the Yan army.
Sainchi had suddenly gone down to the watchtower, he was in the army, and he didn't see the riot behind the Yan army, but Zhao Heng on the watchtower of the Chinese army saw it clearly, and sent a quick horseman to report in a hurry.
But it turned out to be Babusha from Giethoorn.
Babusha was stationed in Giethoorn, originally to guard against the Wu army. Now that Wu's army has been put into the battlefield, he certainly does not need to continue to garrison on the spot. As early as the night before the start of the war, Sain Chi Dahu and Wang Baobao had already sent someone to send him a military order, ordering him to take advantage of the gap to fight today. Because there were dozens of miles away, he had just arrived, less than ten miles away from the battlefield, and it happened to coincide with the gradual decline of the Yuan army.
Sainchi suddenly heard the news of great joy, and said to the generals on the left and right: "The main force of the red thieves is moving, and the army is weak. Babusha is here, it's really ,......,, it's just right! Haha, God is helping me! The laughter continued, and Zhao Heng sent a fast horse knight to the watchtower of the Chinese army: "Report!" My lord, the Chengwu army has gathered 3,500 elites and galloped to help, and it has now reached the west of the city, less than 20 miles away from our army! ”
The two reinforcements of the Yuan army are about to come, and the battle has come to this point, and the Yan army seems to have turned to the downside.
