The king of Jingnan used his troops, and was good at subtle control, and there was a group of messengers who went back and forth between the various ministries and the king's tent in the morning, noon and evening, and reported the current situation of each department, down to how many people were sick, how many war horses were lame, how much grain was stored, how much was consumed in the camp today, and the remaining situation of the use of military medical materials, etc.;

On the Wang Tent's side, he will give a response, the geometry that needs to be supplemented and the development of a new round of warfare, whether it is responsible for the siege of the city or the strategy or the movement of the Chu army that may appear on the periphery of the vigilance, and sometimes, even the area is responsible for dividing you to the top of the mountain.

The soldiers and horses of each department are like a "puppet with a thread", the head of the thread, which is grasped by the king of Jingnan, and the so-called such as an arm command, almost this is the meaning.

If it is a mediocre coach who commands like this, then there will inevitably be complaints below, and there may be problems on paper because of this, but Tian Wujing obviously does not belong to this list.

In fact, this is not so unusual, but all the commanders of the army, in fact, know the benefits of doing this, but it is often difficult to practice, there are many soldiers and horses below, there are many military heads, each of their own components, their own mountains, their respective backers in the imperial court, dense, chaotic and complicated, fighting a battle, the commander often thinks about not the war, but these intricate interpersonal relationships.

And throughout the ages, the marshal went out to fight, and the superior also liked to deliberately mix sand into it and directly set up a supervising army, which was relatively ugly, and the kind of mountain that deliberately stuffed some mountains that did not deal with you in your army was also the due performance of the art of checks and balances.

However, in the army of Great Yan and Chu, this phenomenon will not exist.

First, the king of Jingnan himself will not allow this phenomenon to occur;

The second is that His Majesty Dayan has already made a clear decree before he sets out on the expedition, and from him, those who dare to criticize the front-line wars will be decided.

Xiao Liuzi once said that if the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is removed, the land of Dayan is not as good as Chu Guang, the people are not as good as Qianduo, and the external environment is not as good as Jin;

The reason why I was able to sweep out in this generation, win the prestige, and lay down the current national momentum is that even if I only have five fingers, I can clench the ruthlessness of a punch. Even if you have seven, eight, nine, or even ten fingers, it's hard to really clench up and fight me, and you still have to be knocked down by me in the end.

But this kind of unbelievable division of power often makes people feel very unsafe, in the past few years, Qianchu has been waiting to see Yan Guo's jokes, but the problem is that maybe their jokes have not waited, and they are in danger of becoming real jokes.

For example, Da Chu at this time,

Probably

Only Nian Yao himself knows,

What kind of pressure is he facing now, like a black sky brewing above his head, and the thunder is like a crack in the sky.

Now

He was glad that no matter what, Da Chu still had a town south pass to support.

If there is no Xiongguan in charge, Nian Yao does not think that the Great Chu will lose the country, that is, no matter how fierce his Dayan Iron Cavalry is, Nian Yao is also confident that under the leadership of the king, the state of Chu will not die so easily;

But as you can imagine,

If you really let these hundreds of thousands of Yanjin coalition troops go straight to Chu, and want to drive them away or want to deal with them, Great Chu will inevitably be extremely uncomfortable.

As the war unfolded step by step, the first round of contact was the end of the battle of Yangshanzhai, and the situation of the spies and fans on both sides in each other's domestic exploration was gradually falling on the table of the superiors on both sides.

Although Yan Guo gambled on the fortunes of the country, it was ironclad, after all, as long as those few people were there, the iron plate would inevitably be there, and those three would have completely bulldozed the burrs on the iron plate with blood and fire.

And Da Chu's side,

Nian Yao gave the court a great victory,

Although he personally wrote a secret fold to the king, presenting the details of this battle.

But the Bai family,

still folded the bullet to impeach him, Nian Yao sat back and watched the Yangshan Cottage being besieged and did not save it, and he was cowardly and avoided the battle, resulting in the loss of 8,000 Baipu soldiers!

The Bai family went on this excerpt to express the anger of the Bai family;

This move, if from God's point of view, is definitely very detrimental to the overall situation.

But standing on the side of the Bai family, his own army sent troops, and the fort in the depths of the Chu army's defense was stationed, and as a result, it was completely annihilated by the Yan people inexplicably.

The Bai family is not a big nobleman like the Qu family, the 50,000 Qingluan army of the Qu family went on an expedition to Jindi, and after it was gone, the family immediately pulled up the second batch, and there was also the comfort from the king and the court.

Although the consolation product, the princess, was abducted by the swallows.

If you use this army as bait and achieve any results, then the Bai family may not make any noise about it, and the Bai family still has this political consciousness, but isn't it something that has not been done?

Therefore, for the survival of the family and the future of the family, the Bai family must make a voice of dissatisfaction, and the children who will make trouble will have candy to eat, not to mention, people are reasonable.

But this move will inevitably set off a kind of waves, after all, Nian Yao had already arranged all the private soldiers of various nobles in the various military forts and military villages on the periphery of Zhennan Pass, and regarded the imperial forbidden army under his command as a reliable mobile force to hold Zhennan Pass.

This arrangement is out of an overall consideration of the battle situation, but the butts are different, and the angle of thinking about the problem is also different, which will inevitably make the nobles in the Chu State feel that this is not using our private soldiers as consumables?

And as soon as the Bai family's incident came out this time, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Not everyone can go to the front line in person, and not everyone can see the situation clearly, and some people, even if they see clearly, will pretend not to see clearly.

The major nobles of my Great Chu have received the grace of the country, and now, the country is in trouble, and the soldiers are sent to the people, and the people are sent to the people, and the people are sent to the grain, co-authored, your royal family and your court are planning to kill people with a knife?

In fact, at this point, the blind man and Uncle Zheng have separately analyzed that this battle will trigger the domestic political impact of the Chu State, obviously Nian Yao was given a pair by the soldiers and horses of the King of Jingnan, and he was unable to rescue him, but the nobles in the Chu State would not think like this, you must know that Comrade Chang Kaishen of that era in that time and space also liked to play that hand at that time.

Uncle Zheng was very curious when he heard the blind man's speculation, curious that King Jingnan might not know that his tricks could be seen so far-reaching by you, just like doing a Chinese reading comprehension question.

The blind man just smiled faintly and said, he didn't believe that Tian Wujing would not understand politics.

And as long as this one works well, it actually has a great effect on reducing the resistance of the Chu State.

So

Nian Da General, he was very wounded;

Because he thinks that he is inferior to Tian Wujing in terms of arranging troops, there is nothing to hide about this, and he himself has special respect for Tian Wujing;

However, even in the face of all aspects of the pressure of the imperial court behind him, his situation was actually much worse than Tian Wujing!

It's not as high as others,

The treatment is not as good as others,

The young general is so angry!

After receiving the news of Lai Yingdu's impeachment of him,

He was so angry that he sat on the threshold of the general's mansion,

Ate three chilled watermelons in a row!

………

"This watermelon is sweet."

Uncle Zheng is also eating watermelon.

On its left, sitting is Gongwang, and on the right, is Gongsun Zhi.

It's been two days since we last met, and today is the third day.

And today, the Eastern Front is preparing to attack Dongshan Fort.

Tell the truth,

Uncle Zheng's previous battles were really "like a thunderbolt";

Attacking the south, as if in a game, he did everything to grab the position of the friendly army and hit the upper capital first;

In the land of Gyeonggi in the Jin Kingdom, it is also a starry night, smashing the palace gate;

When he followed Tian Wujing's expedition to the snow field, he also attacked the village every day, and he almost didn't stop;

Not to mention the thousands of miles to attack the snow customs, which almost brought the mobility of the cavalry to the extreme, and immediately faced the siege of the savages trapped in a state of fighting after taking the snow customs.

And this battle, if you put aside the raid on Yangshanzhai a few days ago, it doesn't count...... Well, in fact, even if you add the Yangshanzhai one, this is also the slowest battle I have ever fought.

The slow pace is due to the large number of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the siege war is destined not to be fast.

But you must know that the army is entrenched here, every day, it has to consume a huge amount of grain, and the pressure of logistics is not heavy, fortunately, this is a national war, with the support of the people and output of Yan and Jin, the war can be "slow" down.

The flanks of the Gongwang Department and the Gongsun Zhibu have been opened to cover the east and west wings of Dongshan Fort, and the two general soldiers themselves have come to Uncle Zheng's tent to personally observe the siege of the army under Uncle Zheng.

Who would have thought that the siege battle was imminent, Uncle Zheng sat on the handsome man in a grand manner, eating watermelon beautifully, and when he saw the two of them coming, he immediately beckoned them to come up and eat together.

"Uncle also has an ice cellar here?" Gong Wang was very surprised.

"That's not true, we're not extravagant enough to that extent, but I have a secret method of making ice here, which is difficult to mass-produce, but it's enough for my own use, it's hot on this day, and it's really sad if I don't chew some ice."

Later, the two of them also pulled a car back, and there were too many, and we didn't have anything here. ”

When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he smiled and said: "Then we will be disrespectful, haha, straight lady thief, my face, I am the same as my father-in-law, I thought that I had already cultivated to be invincible, who knew that I had come to my uncle these few times, and I was really embarrassed to eat and take it again and again." ”

Gong Wang also smiled when he heard this.

Shuai Ren began to move at this time, with a carriage in front of him and shield soldiers on both sides to escort him.

Ahead, on the other hand, is the siege formation that has been arranged.

The trebuchets were neatly arranged there, giving people a strong visual shock, not to mention the towers that looked extremely solid, so that Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but look at it, and they couldn't care about eating watermelons at all.

Although the Yan army is not good at attacking cities, these two general soldiers are the generals who have led the soldiers, so they naturally know that the sophistication of these equipment in front of them is by no means the kind of flower frame made by cutting wood at will.

"There's one thing, we have to talk about it first." Uncle Zheng said.

Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi hurriedly said, "Uncle, you say." ”

"Historically, it has been difficult to attack the city, there are no immortals, especially the besieging side, the loss will inevitably be greater than the defender, since the two generals are now on the road with me, we have to face this Dongshan Fort together.

Behind my military wall, there are two stockades, one for the sake of the savage slaves, and the other for the construction and maintenance of these instruments.

Although when attacking the city, Benbo will first use savage slave soldiers to consume the Chu people on the Dongshan Fort, and sharpen the Chu people's defensive equipment and sharpness.

But in the final analysis, this city still has to be gnawed down by the Zhengjun Erlang under our command with a knife and a gun.

Ben Bo didn't talk to the two families as a family, and when it was really time to see the real chapter under his hands, Ben Bo had to transfer two of his regular army sons and daughters to use it together.

Ben Bo will not do anything about deliberately taking care of the two of them and letting my sons and daughters be killed and injured, but Ben Bo will not deliberately preserve his strength and let the two of them fight.

Benber makes a promise here that he will treat everyone equally.

As for this credit, Benbo has a foundation in Yangshanzhai, and you also know that King Jingnan treats me like a nephew, and the credit can be divided between the two.

So

Let's make this clear first, set the tone first, and after it is opened, no one will complain in our brothers' hearts. ”

Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi glanced at each other, and immediately knelt down to Uncle Zheng on the handsome man:

"The last general will obey the orders of the uncle!"

"The last general will obey the orders of the uncle!"

In fact, for the two of them, they have long been mentally prepared to let themselves take on the main attack task, and Uncle Zheng can say this, which has exceeded their psychological expectations.

Coupled with Uncle Zheng's current status, as well as the relationship between him and King Jingnan as he said before, these "words from the heart" can be described as extremely ironing.

"Two of you, please get up, over there, and open another watermelon."

At the end of the handsome man, there was a man wearing a hat on his head, and several watermelons were placed in front of him.

Gong Wang got up and walked over to get it himself.

The man drew his sword, quickly cut the melon, and put it in a basket on the side, signaling for Gong Wang to carry it over.

Gong Wang looked strange, looked at the man with a hat a few more times, and went over with the basket, and when he divided it, Gong Wang smiled and said:

"The person behind the uncle, the last general will see that he is quite skilled with a sword."

Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "Well, after all, the Sword Saint." ”

"........." Gong Wang.

Gongsun Zhi's action of gnawing melons stopped, and he deliberately turned his head sideways to look at the back.

When Shuai arrived at the designated central position in the rear, the preparations for the front arrangement had also been completed.

On the west side of Shuaihan, a group of auxiliaries were waiting, but instead of standing, they were sitting, and their shields were standing at their sides, which could be used as shade.

"Hey."

Uncle Zheng beckoned and pointed to a passer-by among the auxiliaries over there,

When the man came over in disbelief,

The remaining watermelons in the basket were handed to him:

"Eating."

………

Guo Dong was very excited to take the basket from his uncle.

Uncle,

Uncle,

Uncle still remembers himself, and Uncle still cares about himself!!

After carrying the basket back, Guo Dong first took a piece for himself, then handed another piece to Xu An, and handed the rest to the captain, who waved his hand and signaled that he didn't want it, and then he was divided by the other robes around.

Guo Dong was crying while eating watermelon.

Xu An watched from the side and laughed.

He knew how much pressure his brother had been under since his father was killed by the Chu Sentinels, and now, in his heart, Uncle Hirano was simply a pillar.

This time, Uncle Hirano specially gave him a melon, which was the best comfort for his brother.

A piece of melon, there is not much, after eating, Guo Dong wiped his mouth, and couldn't wait to say:

"Straight thief, why haven't you started the siege yet!"

Now he can't wait to fly to the tower of Dongshan Fort immediately and plant the "Zheng" banner there for Uncle Zheng.

Xu An reassured him and said:

"It's still early, we have to greet the trebuchet first, then press in the arrow tower, then the savages, and then it may be our turn."

"But I can't wait!!"

Guo Dong roared.

"There is a chance for you to perform, don't worry, don't worry."

In fact, Xu An knew in his heart that these auxiliaries were below for the crossbowmen or for the battering ram and arrow tower, and if nothing else, there was basically no chance to rush up to the tower.

But as a brother, the blood in his heart has been completely stimulated by a piece of watermelon.

At this time, on Shuai Yan, Uncle Zheng was explaining to the two chief soldiers:

"Here, and there, the piles erected, in fact, are markers, is the distance of the catapult, later, the first round of projectiles will be carried out here, first look at the city wall of this Dongshan Fort, but I estimate that the Chu people are good at building, this city wall, it is difficult to smash it."

"In that case, uncle, why don't you get closer and directly smash the boulder into the Chu people's city tower or the city?" Gongsun Zhi asked.

Without waiting for Uncle Zheng to answer, Gong Wang spoke first: "This is because in Dongshan Fort, the Chu people must also have trebuchets prepared, and there should be giant crossbows on the city wall."

If we close the distance too early, our trebuchet will be easily hit by the trebuchet of the Chu people, we should take our time, it is best to startle the snake first, so that the trebuchet of the Chu people will be exposed first. ”

Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "What Brother Gong said is exact. ”

Gong Wang smiled, he was from Jin, and he actually knew some siege methods.

A long time ago, when he was in Zhennan Pass, he accompanied Situ Lei to fight against the Chu people.

"Pre-—————— release !!"

"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes!!!!!! ”

The first round of trebuchets began to be thrown, and because of the distance, most of them just smashed under the city walls, and a small number of them hit the city walls.

The people of Tianji Pavilion were quickly making projectile coordinates and calculating the distance.

And at the front of the line,

There sat a large number of wild men in the black press, and in front of each wild man lay a large basket of earth.

The banner of the king of the savages stands there,

He pointed with one hand to the ditch and moat under the Dongshan Fort in front of him,

In the other hand, he held a handful of bamboo pieces engraved with words,

Shouting around:

"Later, if you fill the soil into the trench and come back with the basket, come to me to receive the bamboo chips, and with the bamboo chips, you will have food tonight!"

Don't worry about the arrows of the Chu people on the city wall,

stars

Will bless you! ”

After that,

The Savage King turned his back to the Savage behind him, facing the walls of the East Hill Fort.

After saying these words,

He laughed himself.
