Chapter 713: Rebel Ants Attack the City
Hongwei Xingjun had no idea of disbanding the team, and happily summarized the battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info first talked about the role of this combat exercise, and then analyzed it from the perspective of Taoism.
Honghuomiao saw that Hongwei Xingjun was interested, and it seemed that he was going to hold a celebration meeting. If this continues, it is not certain that such a boring party will end at a certain time.
Red Flame interrupted Red Micro Xingjun's words: "Xingjun, we want to play." ”
Hongwei Xingjun said unhappily: "You all have to leave?"
Hongwei Xingjun can't control the red flames, but if she takes the fox fairy away, the scene will be much colder, so that's why she asked.
Red Huomiao understood what Hongwei Xingjun meant, and hurriedly denied: "No." The fox immortals stay here to listen to your preaching and let them increase the Dao. A few of us young ladies went to play for a while. I'm sorry, Xingjun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
In the end, Honghuomiao said that his face was full of shame, and he looked like a child who was willful.
Hongwei Xingjun said helplessly: "You are the Lord of the Five Fox Order, feel free." ”
Red Huomiao said to the Snow Ridge White Fox and the others, "You are here to accompany Red Weixingjun. After the puja, go straight back to Xiufeng Mountain. ”
Xueling White Fox, Qianling Blue Fox, Ziyan, Nanbai Yellow Fox and others replied: "Respect your life." ”
Red Flame said to Yun Lifei and Maple Leaf, "Let's play." ”
After the Eight Little Immortals flew into the sky, the red flame urgently said to Yun Lifei and Maple Leaf, "Let's go to the capital quickly." I feel that something big is going to happen in the capital. ”
Yun Lifei didn't say anything, and quickly flew towards the capital with fatigue.
This morning, not long after Ling Feiyan enjoyed the morning view at the top of the city, the soldiers and horses of the three kings began to attack the city.
Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: The law of siege is a last resort. Repair the oar, with equipment, three months and then become, distance from the trench, and then three months and then be. The one who will be overwhelmed by the anger and the ants will possess it, and the one who kills one-third of the soldiers and the city will not be pulled out, and this attack will also be a disaster.
It means that siege is used only as a last resort. It took three months to make siege slurs and rams, and to prepare various siege equipment. It will take another three months to build the earth mountain for the siege. The commander could not control his anger, and drove the soldiers to climb the ladder to attack the city like ants, so that the soldiers suffered one-third casualties and could not conquer it, which was the harm caused by the siege.
The siege of the three kings has not yet been fully prepared as Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it is basically the last sentence: "The one who will be overwhelmed by his anger and the ants will possess him, and those who will kill one-third of the soldiers and the city will not be pulled out, this attack will also be a disaster." ”
After Ling Feiyan's assassination last night, the anger of the three kings' revenge has burned in their chests, and they can't wait to attack the city immediately and kill all the people they hate in their hearts.
The rebels, under the urging of the Three Kings, attacked the fortified gates. They relied mainly on bows and arrows for cover, and then used ladders to ascend the city.
Ling Feiyan stood on the city wall, personally supervising the battle, repelling wave after wave of attacks. The officers and soldiers defending the city also suffered many casualties, but in front of Ling Feiyan's strict military law, none of them dared to retreat, and they were carried down unless they were seriously injured.
It stands to reason that Ling Feiyan now has a lot of troops, which is enough to compete head-on with the Three Kings. However, Ling Feiyan did not launch a counteroffensive and still took a defensive position. The main reason was that Ling Feiyan wanted to use the three or five sieges to weaken his strength, and after the three kings' forces were almost consumed, he would launch a general attack and destroy the rebels in one fell swoop.
The three kings didn't know that Ling Feiyan's strength was already comparable to him, and they thought that the officers and soldiers defending the city were only 10,000 or 20,000, and they could defeat the other party by fighting for consumption.
The Three Kings attacked for two hours, and although they lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, they still did not break the city. Of course, the officers and men defending the city also suffered heavy casualties, and nearly two-thirds of the officers and men were killed and wounded.
It stands to reason that defending the city is a favorable side of the war, and there should not be such heavy casualties. It is only because the officers and soldiers defending the city now are mainly prisoners who have just been released by Ling Feiyan, and they have no combat experience at all, and their sense of self-protection is even worse.
The besieging rebels are all local armies, although their combat effectiveness is not the best, compared with the officers and soldiers defending the city, it can be regarded as well-trained, and the skills of immediate combat are a cut higher.
As soon as the two factors were combined, the phenomenon of an unconventional number of casualties among officers and men appeared.
Ling Feiyan defended the city with weak soldiers, mainly to preserve his strength for the general attack. If you use elite troops at this time, you will be exhausted by the time of the general attack, and you will not be able to achieve the campaign goal.
Vice General Zhang came to Ling Feiyan and said, "General Ling, we don't have enough troops. Hurry up and figure it out. ”
Vice General Zhang didn't know that Ling Feiyan still had elite soldiers in his hands, and the so-called way was to retreat, otherwise the city gate would be breached sooner or later.
Ling Feiyan smiled and said, "Order your team to all go down to the city to rest." ”
"What about this city gate?" asked Vice Admiral Zhang, puzzled.
Ling Feiyan pointed to the city and said, "Look, they will take over your defense." ”
Vice General Zhang saw a group of officers and soldiers running quickly from the south of the city, and asked suspiciously: "General Ling, where are they officers and soldiers?" ”
Ling Feiyan said indifferently: "It's the reinforcements from Qinglong East County." ”
"Great. Deputy General Zhang was in good spirits at this time, and he also had the leisure to help the helmet that had been crooked, and hurried to go through the handover procedures.
Now the city is commanding the siege of the city is the Xuanwu County Guard, to be precise, the new Xuanwu County Guard. The former Xuanwu County Guard was killed with a knife, and the three kings appointed the former Xuanwu North County General to concurrently serve as the Xuanwu County Guard, and was fully responsible for the siege of the city.
Seeing that the officials on the city gate were wounded and exhausted, the new Xuanwu county guard encouraged his subordinate generals: "The rebels defending the city are about to be defeated, as long as we work harder, the victory will be ours." ”
The Three Kings set themselves up as kings, and in order to show themselves to be orthodox, they called the Imperial Uncle's army in the city a rebel army. This is just like during the Liberation War, when Jiang and Mao called each other bandits.
The siege officers and soldiers also felt that the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers defending the city had reached the limit, and if they worked harder, they would succeed, so everyone shouted and rushed forward again.
As a result, the besieging rebels came as a surprise, and the officers and soldiers defending the city not only did not lose their combat effectiveness, but became more powerful than before.
Can it not be more powerful than before? Now that we have a new force, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men who have been fighting for half a day in front of us cannot be compared with the combat effectiveness of the new officers and men.
The officers and soldiers who were replaced later were not elite officers and soldiers, but the reserve troops of Qinglongdong County. But these people used to be regular soldiers, but they were cut after the extermination of Li Potian's rebellion, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of prisoners.
The officers and soldiers besieging the city were also tired, and they just held on in one breath. Suddenly hit hard, I didn't do anything for a while, and retreated like a tide.
"What's going on?" the new Xuanwu County Guard looked stupid. After observing for a while, I found that the officers and soldiers in the city had been replaced.
The Three Kings, who had always felt that victory was in sight, saw this scene, and immediately called the new Xuanwu County Guard to him, and said solemnly: "Why did you lose again?"
The defender of the new Xuanwu County replied tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, the city has increased its troops." All the original officers and men have been replaced with new strength. ”
"Troops?" The three kings looked at the new Xuanwu county guard suspiciously, and denied: "Impossible. ”
The senior guards beside the three kings replied instead of the three kings: "The emperor has set up observation posts at all key passes into Beijing. If the rebels from other counties came in to reinforce the city, why didn't we report it?"
The new Xuanwu County Keeper also knew about this situation, and couldn't explain this strange situation: "I don't know either. The increase in troops in the city is absolutely true, I can't be mistaken. ”
Of course, the rebels will not find out that the officers and soldiers in the capital have come to reinforce them, because these reinforcements are all transported through the time and space tunnel, and no matter how many eyelines along the way, they can't find them.
The three kings didn't blame the new Xuanwu county guard, and said to the guard: "Go and invite the Shenni Immortal Master immediately." ”
After Xuanfeng Shenni and Linghu Wuji separated, they inspected around again, feeling that nothing was wrong, and then they returned to the barracks to meditate.
Xuanfeng Shenni came to the three kings, heard the feedback of the three kings, was shocked, hurriedly jumped into the sky, and came to the capital to reconnoitre.
From the perspective of Xuanfeng Shenni, there are not only reinforcements in the capital, but also a lot of them. The gates of the city on the southeast, east, and west sides have been opened widely, and the officers and men have kept moving in. The officers and soldiers guarding the city wall were all replaced by strong officers and soldiers.
"Why are so many officers and soldiers here all of a sudden?" asked Xuanfeng Shenni and regretted it. It's too careless, how can you forget the time and space tunnel spell of the Spirit Fox Qinglu? No one can find out about transporting troops through this channel.
Thinking of the fox fairy using spells to help the officers and soldiers, Xuanfeng Shenni was both angry and happy. Angry that the fox fairy always opposed her, happy that there was an excuse to help the rebels attack the city.
Xuanfeng Shenni returned to the three kings and said, "The capital has indeed come to reinforce troops, and there are quite a few of them." ”
Hearing the report of the Xuanfeng Shenni, the three kings were worried, and shook their hands: "What can I do about this? Am I really not the fate of the true dragon emperor?"
Xuanfeng Shenni replied: "The emperor is not in a hurry. Wait for me to help you conquer the city. ”
"Then it's hard for the Immortal Master. "The three kings can only rely on the Xuanfeng Shenni now, so their tone is particularly polite.
Xuanfeng Shenni didn't speak, and came to the front of the battle with the invisible White Wind Great Immortal and his five sons, and said to the new Xuanwu County Guard: "Organize an attack on the city immediately." ”
Seeing the suspicious expression of the new Xuanwu County Shouhu, Xuanfeng Shenni did not explain, took out a handful of incense and lit it, and said to the Xuanwu County Guard: "Each soldier besieging the city will be given a branch and let them stick it in their armor." ”
"Can this work?" asked the new Xuanwu County Guard, skeptically.
Xuanfeng Shenni said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, just do it." ”
The new Xuanwu County Guard knew the weight of this Leng Yan Immortal Master in front of him in front of the emperor, so he dared to ask more, and ordered the soldiers to burn incense.
After the incense was distributed, the Xuanfeng Shenni said to the new Xuanwu County Guard: "Give the order to attack the city." ”
The new Xuanwu County Guard looked at the officers and soldiers waiting on the city wall, and asked uncertainly: "Immortal Master, is this, can this really work?"
Xuanfeng Shenni said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, let the emperor behead you immediately." ”
The new Xuanwu County Guard knew that the Xuanfeng Shenni had this energy, so he didn't dare to speak back, and drew his war knife and shouted: "Attack the city with all your might." ”
The new Xuanwu county guard was also really ruthless, and ordered the overseer team to carry swords and guns under the supervision of the rebels who were besieging the city, and the rebels who ran a little slower were beheaded on the spot.
