Chapter 336: Anger
It's just that during the military discussion, I thought about the political stance for a while, and made a little difference, and I actually opened such an effect.
As soon as I took that word,
King Jingnan took the opportunity to mention it again,
Uncle Zheng was also in a trance, how could he become the temporary commander of Li Fusheng, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, who was going to lead Li Fusheng, the commander of the town, into battle?
The most critical question is,
The reason why Uncle Zheng was so confident that he didn't bring Liang Cheng over was because Uncle Zheng felt that with his current level, it was okay to cope with the assessment of Jingnan Wang, a teacher, plus some things at the strategic level that went beyond the ordinary war level.
Facts have also proved Uncle Zheng's growth and progress in recent years.
Whether it was his understanding of King Jingnan's plan when eating hot pot, or in dealing with excerpts and facing King Jingnan's questions about his position and policy, Uncle Zheng coped with it smoothly.
but
but
But allowing himself to be suddenly pulled out and command the siege battle, he really couldn't do it.
The method, of course, is very simple, it is nothing more than to first bulldoze the fortifications on the periphery of the Chu army, and then press forward by the shield hand, press forward by the arrow tower, and throw it with the trebuchet of the crossbowman, and then take the opportunity to order to climb the city wall and rush the city.
Yes, it's very simple, just watch it a few times.
However, the timing and keen observation of the battle situation in it make it difficult for non-military people to strategize.
Uncle Zheng knows his own level, so he can now lead all the way to the battlefield with the enemy, how to make a detour, how to attack, how to charge, how to divide, he can cope with these;
But siege warfare and field warfare are completely different.
When attacking Dongshan Fort, why Shi Yuantang led the army to counterattack the next day, it was because Liang Cheng's command of the siege rhythm was too smooth, and the defenders of Chu in the city were completely stunned and out of breath, and the city wall was already facing loss.
Otherwise, according to the script of the Great People's Congress Chu Zhuguo, he planned to hold on for ten days and a half before trying to kill.
Therefore, in that battle, although Liang Cheng did not predict that there was actually a Great Chu Pillar Kingdom and a royal forbidden army in the city, his early command was actually perfect and impeccable.
It was the siege commanded by Liang Cheng that made Shi Yuantang have to take out the hole cards in advance.
Well, now Liang Cheng is not around.
Li Fusheng has been gnawing on Xishan Fort for so long, the two sides are already very familiar, and the Chu people have also been beaten with patience, and it can even be said that after repelling the attacks of the Yan army again and again, they have gained confidence.
handed over a more difficult situation from Liang Cheng's hands to himself, Uncle Zheng, who has always been very compelling in his ability, knows that he really can't do it.
But at this time, I can't pass the buck.
Uncle Zheng took a few steps forward and knelt down on one knee in front of King Jingnan:
"The last general obeys!"
………
"Come on, Brother Zheng, you know all of these, there are a lot of them, and they are also old acquaintances."
King Jingnan went to the next military village first, leaving Uncle Zheng alone.
At this time, Li Fusheng was introducing these generals under his command to Uncle Zheng.
A small half of them have known each other before, after all, Zheng Fan had mixed in Li Fusheng's army and went south to Qianguo together.
At that time, the leaders of all walks of life in the Zhenbei Army were still dreaming of promoting their own Hou Ye to the throne, and they eagerly wooed Uncle Zheng, a talent personally appreciated by the Hou of Zhenbei.
It's just that Uncle Zheng was already in the door of Jingnan Hou at that time, coupled with the rapid changes in all aspects of the situation after the war, not only did he fail to enter the Zhenbei Army, but this Zhenbei Army almost entered the Jingnan Army.
At this time, he and Li Fusheng were completely equal, and the generals who were higher than themselves in the past could only salute themselves now.
The world is impermanent, and nothing more than that.
"See Uncle Hirano!"
"See Uncle Hirano!"
A group of generals saluted Zheng Fan.
Li Fusheng can "spit on his own face" and don't care, but these generals were obviously hurt by Uncle Zheng's attitude during the military discussion.
For a long time, Uncle Zheng has always wanted to take the people-friendly route, hello, hello, everyone, and make the relationship more harmonious;
But King Jingnan has been forcibly dragging himself to take another path, confident and unruly, empty-eyed, this kind of character, of course, can also go, and in the end, he will really become the next generation of Tian Wujing;
But this road is too tiring.
However, Uncle Zheng didn't explain anything, just nodded silently, they were very cold to themselves, so they could do business directly.
Uncle Zheng looked at Li Fusheng and said:
"Will you still attack the city tomorrow?"
"Attack, naturally, you have to attack."
"Then let's go back to the camp now and get ready."
Most of the things had already been discussed during the military meeting, and there was no point in holding another meeting at this time to repeat what had been said earlier.
"The last will retire!"
"The last will retire!"
After these generals went down, Li Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't mind, these little cubs have been spoiled by my brother." ”
Uncle Zheng touched the tip of his nose and said, "It's me who is distracted." ”
"Look."
"It's hard to ride a tiger now."
At the beginning, when Li Fusheng asked him about the county lord, Uncle Zheng could tell him the truth.
Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan, and there was already a kind of satisfaction that the younger generation who he admired and carried in the past was finally out of the blue.
"Brother Zheng, you are humble, to be honest, you are in command, I am really a lot more down-to-earth in my heart."
"I still have to be commanded by you, brother, after all, under the premise that the soldiers don't know the generals and the soldiers, I will forcibly command, I'm afraid it's not beautiful."
Without waiting for Li Fusheng to refute again, Zheng Fan immediately said:
"I'll watch from the side, just check and fill in the gaps for you, brother."
Li Fusheng nodded and said, "That...... Also become. ”
"Brother, let's go with me to see the siege equipment in the camp first."
"Inevitable, inevitable."
Li Fusheng's siege equipment is actually a lot, because in terms of craftsmen, Xuehaiguan has a foundation, but Li Fusheng is responsible for attacking Xishan Fort, so half of the craftsmen sent from Yingdu are supplied to Li Fusheng.
Of course, after reading it, Uncle Zheng found that Li Fusheng's equipment here was not as sophisticated as his own.
At this time, a short figure rushed out, who was it not Xue San?
"Hey, Lord, you're here."
Xue San's face was black, as if he had been smoked.
In Xue San's opinion, his own master should be a secretary to King Jingnan now, how could he come here.
Li Fusheng pointed at Xue San at this time and said: "Brother Zheng, your subordinates are really talented, and the craftsmen and masters who came from Yingdu did not dare to take it big in front of him. ”
Xue San has this ability, which is not surprising.
"What is this going on?"
Uncle Zheng bent down, reached out and wiped Xue San's face, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
"Kerose?"
"I'm helping them improve."
Wrapping stone bullets in oil and then throwing them with a trebuchet is one of the uses of trebuchets.
However, judging from the actual killing and injury on the battlefield, the stone bullet wrapped in fire oil is far less effective than the pure stone projectile smashed past, and the former is weaker than the latter in terms of strength and bombardment effect.
But the account can't be counted like this, after all, the ball on fire smashed in, and when it landed, it would roll, plus the fire splashed everywhere, it didn't matter how few people were killed, the key was the visual effect, and the weakening effect on the enemy's morale was extremely obvious.
"The prince asked me to come over as a staff officer and help attack the city together." Uncle Zheng said.
Xue San's face immediately became very exciting, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Seeing this, Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and patted Xue San's head, and said to Li Fusheng: "Brother, let's go over there and have a look." ”
"Okay."
After going around in the camp for half a circle, Uncle Zheng had to sigh, the Zhenbei Army deserves to be the Zhenbei Army, Li Fusheng's Zhenbei Army has extremely high quality soldiers, and has never experienced the situation of being separated due to Li Bao's death, plus after Li Fusheng entered the Jin, he was under the command of Tian Wujing as soon as possible.
It is equivalent to an extremely sharp sword, and it has been carefully maintained in the later stage.
Therefore, even if the siege war has been fierce for a long time, first of all, there has been no decline in the morale of the army, which can also be seen in the unyielding looks on the faces of those generals.
In addition, they also tried their best to meet all their military needs.
This is different from the Snow Customs, the Snow Customs is self-made, you must know that when the Ke Yan Tribe's gang came over, the arrows of the clan warriors were still polished with animal bones, and just equipping them also made the Snow Customs pay a great price.
And Li Fusheng is here, and he already has a rich family background.
"Brother Zheng, shall we have dinner?"
Li Fusheng said when he saw that it was almost time.
Uncle Zheng nodded and entered the handsome account with Li Fusheng.
Dinner is very simple, but the amount is large and filling, and the salty sauce and bun are enough.
"Cyst ball, forgot to tell the people below to make something good." Li Fusheng slapped his forehead and scolded.
"Don't get in the way, when you fight, everything you eat is fragrant."
Uncle Zheng sat down, picked up a bun and began to eat.
When he is not fighting, Uncle Zheng's body will look a little hypocritical, and once he enters a state of war, he really eats well and sleeps soundly.
Li Fusheng also sat down and said:
"Attack the city tomorrow, Brother Zheng, which side do you think you should attack?"
"On this, I don't do anything about it, it's still your brother, at least, I have to wait for me to experience the battle here a few times before I can have a target."
Li Fusheng nodded and sighed: "Brother Zheng, you are a good person, you are too modest sometimes, but also, you are our prince's apprentice, and in the details of this battle, you are really the same as the prince." ”
Uncle Zheng smiled implicitly and nibbled on the bun.
Anyway, Li Fusheng has been attacking Xishan Fort for so long, his experience has been practiced, and he is familiar with the battlefield, no matter how bad it is, Uncle Zheng is really afraid that he will give some "flying immortals" general advice on a whim, so that Li Fusheng, a battlefield general, is nothing to laugh at and be generous, if he really messes up the situation and collapses, then it is really why bother.
"The gang of cubs below, don't look at what they said to Brother Zheng before, your nose is not a nose or an eye, but they are all personally selected by me, and they crawled out of the sea of blood with me.
I know that they also admire Brother Zheng, and when they really want to transfer tomorrow, they will definitely follow Brother Zheng's order, and there will be no perfunctory. ”
"Brother, I've said it all, this is my reason."
Zheng Fan took a sip of water and continued;
"Why did you bring it up again, brother?"
"Aren't you afraid that you have a mustard in your heart?"
"Mustard?"
Uncle Zheng didn't understand for a while.
"Old marquis...... No, old prince......"
The old prince here obviously refers to Li Liangting.
"Hey, earlier, you also knew it, and I wasn't afraid of your jokes, in our hearts, we actually had that thought, that is, let our old marquis sit in that position, the Ji family can sit, why can't my Li family sit down?
But the old marquis has long said that he doesn't have that idea, what about me, the age has also come up, although I don't look old now, but to put it in my heart, there is actually nothing to ask for, just ask for one, and I can kill people happily.
I'm not like them, I brought my own children and nephews with me to the battlefield early to cultivate, I have no children and no daughters, so I have nothing to be reluctant to.
These belongings, if they are really handed over to Brother Zheng in the future, I will be convinced, at least, it will be regarded as giving them and finding a good home for these old brothers.
Fighting on the battlefield and dying in battle, that is fate, there is nothing to say, but those who only want to die are not nested, they are lucky to survive all the way, and they can also earn a decent salary for themselves and their families, which is excellent. ”
"Brother, now is not the time to say this."
"Brother Zheng, we are not outsiders, brother, I will give you an account here, brother, I mean this, you understand, it's good."
As he spoke, Li Fusheng also reached out and patted Zheng Fan's thigh.
Zheng Fan nodded, signaling that he knew;
And then
Silently retracted his legs.
……
The next day, when the sky was still bright, the horn in the Yan army's formation had already sounded.
After a long siege, both generals and soldiers have actually gained experience and habits.
It is true that the Yan people were not good at siege warfare before, but they were not good at anything when they had not done it specifically before.
In Li Fusheng's army, there is no handsome man that the Snow Navy specially made for Uncle Zheng, but there is a high platform, which is divided into three platforms, connected together, and there is a deck in the middle.
When the battle began, Li Fusheng would stand on the middle platform to observe the battle situation, and the two high platforms on the left and right were the standard-bearers to convey Li Fusheng's orders.
The army goes out of the village, and the various arms advance in turn, which is not a small process, which is like the shop sells things during the day and closes the door at night, and then takes back the things that are placed outside and then inserts the door panel, and the next day you have to open the door and then put it out, knowing that it is very cumbersome, but you don't want to be robbed at night can only do this.
"Come, Brother Zheng, please!"
Uncle Zheng looked at this high platform, and instinctively refused in his heart.
Here, it is not very close to the front line, but it is also far away, and he has the experience of being chased and smashed by trebuchets in the front, Uncle Zheng really rejects this kind of battlefield adventure.
But fortunately, because it is connected by three high platforms, the space for maneuvering is very rich, so even if there is really a trebuchet to smash it, there is still time to evade.
In the end, Uncle Zheng still walked up with Li Fusheng.
On the opposite city wall, the Chu people obviously "woke up", and smoke rose from the city.
This kind of picture of the combination of war and life does not have a trace of disobedience, but seems to be very coordinated.
Below, the soldiers and horses are still entering the designated positions one after another, and the trebuchets and arrow towers are still pushing forward from behind.
"Report !!!!!!!!"
A messenger rode over, turned over and dismounted, and quickly climbed to the high platform.
"General, there's a ......... from the east The funeral team is under the banner of the Snow Navy. ”
"The funeral procession?" Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan who was standing beside him.
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "It's my people." ”
"Oh, let it in."
"Whoa!"
"Is it for the funeral of that Great Chu Zhuguo?" Li Fusheng immediately thought of the key.
"Yes."
The funeral team came in, all the armor was tied with white cloth, and the weapons were also wrapped with white stripes, with a delicate coffin that should have belonged to Ah Ming.
Here, the Yan army was still making preparations before the siege, and there were already many soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground waiting, and when they saw this "strange costume" that suddenly came in, everyone looked up slightly curiously over there.
The Chu people on the wall of Xishan Fort are also like this, and they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Yan Army.
The news of Shi Yuantang's death in battle, Li Fusheng's command had already ordered to spread the news to the Chu defenders in Xishan Fort, but the Chu defenders on the opposite side should have suppressed the news, or simply said that this was a Yan people's design to shake the hearts of our army.
Before Shi Yuantang died, Yan Jun shouted that the five princes had rebelled and had killed the regent.
And what Chu Jun shouted was to go back and see, your Yanhuang has died violently!
This kind of lie of "your mother is dead" and "your father is gone" on the battlefield is actually a lot of smashing each other.
Over time, everyone has become somewhat immune.
however
When the funeral team held up a golden fire phoenix flag, the Chu army on the city wall was stunned for a moment.
Then, when a bronze chariot was pushed out, the Chu people on the city wall immediately exploded their nests.
Rumors can be spread casually, but the real thing is difficult to fake.
Because whether it is the Fire Phoenix Banner or the Bronze Chariot, it is not ordinary.
And if the Chu people on the other side took out the gilded armor belonging to the king of Jingnan and hung it out, the Yan army would inevitably be unstable.
Then, an even more radical scene appeared.
I saw a huge man come out of the Yan army's funeral procession,
He opened the coffin,
He carried out the body of an old man in noble armor from inside,
He lifted the body up,
The body was fixed with wires and boards, and the big man had implicated planks in his hands and mouth.
The body was lifted,
The big man's hands began to dance,
As if playing with marionettes, the corpse above began to writhe.
Dahan's own legs and waist also began to twist to the rhythm.
forthwith
There were dozens of people in the funeral procession who dismounted, and they were obviously wearing filial piety clothes, but they took out red silk and writhed with the steps of the big man in front.
Everyone moves in unison and is in unison together.
This is in, twisting Yangge.
Yan Ren's side, inexplicable.
Although this folk activity has been performed on behalf of the Yan folklore at the Snow Plains and Savage Tribal Blood Alliance,
But the authentic Yan people don't know that they still have this custom!
On the city wall, there were already the voices of the Chu people shouting, yelling and crying.
After going on for a while,
The gate of Xishan Fort was actually opened, and a cavalry was killed from inside, which was intended to come out and snatch the remains of his own Fangzhu Kingdom that was being insulted by the Yan people.
Li Fusheng excitedly slapped the railing in front of him,
shouted at Uncle Zheng who was standing beside him;
"No wonder you didn't want to take command yesterday, it turns out that everything is under your control, Brother Zheng!"
Uncle Zheng: "Huh?"
————
There are also in the evening.
