Chapter 186: Target Capital
Liao Min was familiar with the capital, and first spoke: "There are 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Shuntian Mansion, if you add the 30,000 city guards and 10,000 Praetorian Guards in the capital, the total strength is as high as 240,000, we must take the capital before these soldiers and horses are dispatched!" If the capital is taken, these garrisons will be self-defeating. And once the center of the imperial court is dismantled, so that orders cannot be issued, the soldiers and horses of King Qin will inevitably be reduced, and the danger that Luozhou City may be besieged will also be resolved, and we will not be surrounded in the capital! ”
Xiaomei was also allowed to participate in the military meeting, and she immediately retorted: "If we take the capital in this way, the 200,000 garrisons of Shuntianfu will definitely go north or south, and they will form a division in these two directions, which is very unfavorable for us to open up the situation in the country as soon as possible." I think we might as well surround the capital, the garrison of Shuntianfu will definitely rush to the king, at this time we ambush on the road, take advantage of firearms, and use only a small number of soldiers and horses to solve a large number of troops. These 200,000 garrisons in Shuntianfu are simply not enough for us to consume! ”
"Reinforcements? Good idea! Gu Yun couldn't help but praise, he had already had this idea, the capital must be taken as soon as possible, but the 200,000 garrisons of Shuntian Mansion must also be defeated, otherwise it will always involve energy to guard, and some gains outweigh the losses. And it takes time for the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country to come to the capital, and this period of time is enough to defeat the 200,000 garrisons of Shuntianfu, and they can also take the capital, and even have time to adjust the deployment of troops on the defense line!
"Reinforcements?" This word full of wisdom also made the eyes of the high-level people present shine, it is necessary to avoid a siege war with a large number of imperial troops, as long as the capital is surrounded. Those reinforcements would have to fall into a field battle or even an ambush, which would give full play to the advantages of the AK47.
Gu Yun then asked, "There are four lines of defense in the capital. There were thirteen gates in the outer city and nine gates in the inner city. There are five gates in the imperial city, four gates in the palace, and we only have 9,000 soldiers, and we have to divide our troops to guard the solid victory pass. ”
Since Liao Min is one of the think tanks of the army, of course he first expressed his opinion: "I think it is necessary to break through at least the three defenses of the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, and reach the periphery of the imperial palace, most of the buildings in the imperial city are some central institutions, and most of the inner cities outside the imperial city are the residences of some princes, generals and ministers." We are fighting on the walls of the Imperial City, and we are not afraid of destruction on both sides! ”
"No need to siege the city!" Xiaomei stood up and retorted: "There are too many gates in the capital, and if we besiege the city, there will not be enough people at all. We only need to block the gate of the capital and attack it without breaking it, so that the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang who came from all walks of life can be anxious. If the city gate is broken, the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang everywhere will think that the general trend has gone, and I am afraid they will turn around and leave! ”
"That's a good point!" Gu Yun nodded approvingly. After weighing it up, he made a decision: "That's it, Wu Gang, Li Jizhou, Su Mao, and Kong Chao stay, and you lead three thousand soldiers and horses and twelve seventh-level sword masters to garrison Gusheng Pass." The rest of me will go to the capital with me! ”
"Yes!" Wu Gang and others naturally received the order. Three thousand people were handed over to Wu Gang, which shows that Gu Yun attaches great importance to Gusheng Pass, which is one-third of the troops.
The defense of Gusheng Pass was arranged. Gu Yun set off for the capital with another 6,000 people.
Within the boundaries of Shuntianfu, there are no big cities except the capital. There are only a few county towns that defend Gyeonggi. Gu Yun led his soldiers and horses to pull out two county towns that he had to pass through in a row, and the soldiers pointed straight at the capital. This naturally caused panic in the Shuntian Mansion. The capital is also panicked.
Faced with this situation, the imperial court urgently dispatched 200,000 garrisons stationed in Shuntianfu to resist. In the imperial city, there are 30,000 city guards and 10,000 janissary guards, and there are 3,000 Ouchi guards in the palace, and they are the elite of the Dashun royal family.
Six thousand against twenty-four thousand, one to forty!
Of course, this situation will not happen, because the imperial army that rushed to block Gu Yun came first and one after another, and Gu Yun only encountered five waves of about 60,000 people in the process of advancing all the way to the outer gate of the capital, and the rest of the people were either still on the way or had already entered the capital.
For those who stand in the way, Gu Yun will naturally not be polite! In field battles, the ancient army was no match for modern hot weapons, and after a maximum of two rounds of firing, the most elite soldiers also fled.
Six thousand soldiers and horses arrived at the largest gate of the outer city of the capital with almost no losses.
This can scare the upper and lower levels of the imperial court half to death, so many ordinary people in the capital were reluctantly pulled strong men to consolidate the outer city wall of nearly two hundred miles. In addition, many people's houses were also demolished, stones, bricks, wood, grease and other things were requisitioned, and the people in the capital were made miserable for a while.
Gu Yun set up camp in front of the largest gateway in the capital, took out a loudspeaker to "bomb indiscriminately" in the city, and printed a lot of leaflets and flew into the capital to spread. He did a lot of propaganda offensives, but the army just didn't attack the city.
Such a situation naturally attracted all kinds of soldiers and horses, but in front of AK47, they were all vulnerable.
Seven days later, 90,000 reinforcements arrived from outside the capital, and the remaining 50,000 quietly entered the city through other gates. With the garrison entering the city, the people of the capital were let back, because they had been dismotivated by the propaganda offensive, and they were in the way in the city!
After the garrison of Shuntianfu entered the city, they took over the defense of the outer city, the city guards retreated to the inner city, and the Praetorian Guards retreated to the imperial city, and their nearly 100,000 people were the most defensive strength of the capital.
Now that the reinforcements entered the city, Gu Yun began to attack the city. Anyway, it would be the same to attack the city and destroy these soldiers and horses, and they would not be allowed to run to the place to divide the territory.
Gu Yun led people to put a gun in front of the city gate, but the defenders stationed on the city wall were passively beaten, and simply hid behind the battlements and couldn't hide. Faced with this situation, Gu Yun did not plan to attack the city rashly, he only brought 6,000 soldiers and horses, and if the loss was too great, the gain would outweigh the loss.
"It seems that we have to use special operations to fight the tough battle!" Gu Yun pondered using a master to solve the city gate, just like the previous times. So he ordered: "Stop shooting!" ”
Wu Gang and others gave the order, and the military horses of 6,000 people quickly stopped shooting.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Gu Yun gave an order, and the thirty-three masters, including him, each released a flying scroll on their bodies, and then turned on the Dou Qi defense and slowly rose into the air and flew in the direction of the city gate.
"Look, it's flying......"
"Divine Soldiers?"
The soldiers guarding the city saw Gu Yun and the others flying, and all kinds of light appeared on their bodies, and their eyes widened one by one. After all, they were the garrison of Shuntianfu who had just entered the city, and there was no elite of the royal soldiers and horses who had retreated to the inner city.
On Gu Yun's side, it was the complete opposite, the six thousand soldiers and horses looked demoralized after a burst of surprise, and the slogan was also shouted later: "Rebuild Dawu!" Rebuild Dawu! The people of the Dawu Dynasty do not pay grain, the people of the Dawu Dynasty do not pay taxes, and the children of the Dawu Dynasty are free of tuition......" (to be continued......)
