In many ways, even if the Qin army, which had a strategic advantage, gave up the Jimo region, it would not necessarily cause much trouble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info New Dagger Qi Zhong Wen Mo Shou Fa

However, this place of Jimo effectively reduced the pressure on Du Cong's troops under Tian Heng's command, because this place of Jimo was not too important to the Qin army, but for Tian Heng, it was a complete weakness.

Therefore, in such a situation, it is unlikely that Zhang Jiashi will just give up the capital of the Eastern Qi State, which was not captured with great effort.

In the case of the earth-shattering killing outside, the wounded in Jimo City were not very worried about whether they would encounter the fate of the Qin army in the Thorn Plain, or rather, most of these descendants of the Shang Dynasty from the Korean region, were more unaware of such a situation.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much about it, because for them, the city of Jimo was even taller than the city wall of Wang Jiancheng, and the city wall that looked quite strong made them more confident to defend this place in Jimo.

......

Jimo, as a famous city of Qi that is almost second only to Zibo and other big cities, its deeds are more due to the many allusions caused by the famous Xiang Tian Dan of Qi attacking Qi in Yan and defending Jimo.

In 284 BC, the king of Qi was resented by the people internally, and hated by the Qin state for its strength (because the Qi state was so strong at that time that many countries that were ready to submit to the Qin state turned around and submitted to the Qi state), the five kingdoms sent troops to attack Qi, broke the Qi army in Jixi, killed the Qi general Han Nie, and the other four countries retreated one after another.

Le Yi, the general of the Yan State, sent troops to capture the capital of Qi Linzi (now northeast of Zibo, Shandong), and then captured more than 70 cities of Qi within half a year, destroying the Qi State, leaving only Ju (now Ju County, Shandong) and Jimo (now southeast of Pingdu City, Shandong) two lonely cities of Qi failed to conquer. And the state of Chu sent troops again, called aid, but it was actually an attack, and Chu tortured Nao Ya to kill the king of Qi, and Nao Ya was killed by the Qi people. Dr. Jimo was killed in battle. Tian Dan led the people to flee to Jimo with an iron axle and was elected as the city guard. The soldiers and civilians of Jimo were led by Tian Dan to resist, and the two sides fought for three years. Le Yi could not overcome the strong attack, and adopted the encirclement strategy instead.

In the case of Jimo, it is far from enough to be able to hold on for three years, just by relying on the wisdom and courage of Tiandan and the desperate resistance of the Jimo army and civilians.

More importantly, at that time, Jimo was already a very strong and large city, which was also a factor that Tiandan could rely on the most.

In the following period, Tiandan took advantage of the opportunity of the two armies to gather more than 7,000 soldiers, rectify and expand, and repair the city fortress to strengthen the defense. He shared weal and woe with the army and the people, "weaving straw tools when he sits, and working with shovels when he stands," personally inspecting the city defenses, and arranging his wives and concubines to join the army and give them food and drink to the soldiers, thus winning the trust of the army and the people. While stabilizing the interior, in order to get rid of the most difficult opponent Le Yi, Tian Dan sent people into Yan Xing's discord plan, falsely claiming that Le Yi was called Attack Qi, and really wanted to call Wang Qi Guo, and deliberately slowed down the attack on Jimo. King Yanhui originally complained that Le Yi had attacked Ji Mo for a long time, and sure enough, he hit the plan and sent a horse robbery to replace Le Yi. Le Yi defected to Zhao Guo.

Of course, if it weren't for King Yan Hui's situation to give Tian Dan a chance, I'm afraid that no matter how resourceful Tian Dan is, he probably won't be able to make this kind of counter-plot work.

Le Yi was afraid of being killed and did not dare to return to Yan Kingdom, so he returned to his homeland Zhao Kingdom, and the soldiers of Yan Kingdom were angry because of this. So Tiandan ordered the people of the city to put out a meal in the courtyard to worship their ancestors when they ate, and the birds were attracted to hover over the city and fly down to peck at the food. The Yan people were surprised by this, so Tian Dan threatened: "This is a man of God who has come down to teach me." Then he commanded the people of the city: "A man of God will be my teacher." One of the soldiers said, "Can I be a teacher?" and turned around and ran. Tian Dan then got up, pulled the soldier back, and asked him to sit facing east, and serve him with the same attitude as he treated the teacher. The soldier said, "I have no power to deceive you." Tian Dan said: "Don't say it." So he took him as his teacher. Whenever an order is issued to restrain the military and civilians, it must be declared to be the will of the divine master. So he threatened: "I am only afraid that the Yan army will cut off the noses of the captured Qi soldiers and put them in front of the Yan army to fight against the Qi army, and Jimo will be attacked because of this." The Yan people heard about it and did what Tian Dan said. The people in the city were angry when they saw that those who surrendered to the Yan army in Qi had their noses cut off, and they were afraid of being captured alive. Tian Dan Shi used a counter-plot and said: "I am afraid that the Yan army will dig up the graves outside our city and insult our ancestors, and I will feel sad about this. "The Yan army exhumed all the graves and burned the dead bodies. When the Jimo people saw it from the city, they all wept and wept, gritted their teeth with hatred, and asked Tian Dan one after another, vowing to fight to the death with the Yan army.

Tian Dan then paralyzed the Yan army, ordered the strong armor soldiers to hide in the city, and used old and weak women to go to the city to keep watch. He also sent a messenger to deceive him, so that the rich man of Jimo bribed the Yan general with a lot of money, pretending that Jimo would surrender, hoping to save his wife and children. The Yan army, which had besieged the city for more than three years, was eager to return to its hometown with a truce, but when it saw that it was about to be completed, it was only waiting for surrender and was even more slack.

Tian Dan saw that the time was ripe for a counterattack, so he concentrated more than 1,000 cattle, tied sharp blades with horns, soaked in oil reeds at the tail, and wore colorful dragon pattern coats, and at one night, ordered to ignite the oxtail reeds, and the cattle rushed to the Yan camp from dozens of channels pre-dug at the foot of the city, and 5,000 strong warriors followed, and the soldiers and civilians in the city beat drums and beat the drums, shouting and cheering. Yan Jun was terrified when he saw the monsters with swords on the countless horns in the firelight, and the monsters that were on fire rushed straight towards them. The warriors of the Qi army took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, the soldiers and civilians in the city followed closely to help the battle, and the Yan army took the road to flee for their lives, trampled on each other, and the cavalry was killed in the chaos. Tian Dan led the army to pursue the victory, and the people of Qi also helped in the battle, and soon expelled the Yan army from the country, recovering more than 70 lost cities.

It can be seen that the city of Jimo is actually quite large, and it is possible that the scope of the city also includes a large amount of farmland outside the city.

Otherwise, if Tian Dan wants to raise more than 1,000 cows, it will probably be a very difficult thing.

Speaking of the Fire Bull Formation, many people know that this is a tactic invented by Tian Dan, the general of the Warring States Period.

However, the real effect of the fire bull array is doubtful, during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have tried the fire bull formation, but the effect is a failure, the frightened cattle not only do not rush to the enemy camp, but collide in the same place, causing great casualties.

According to the characteristics of the Fire Bull Formation, the core idea of the Fire Bull Formation must be to cut off the retreat of the herd so that these cattle will not hurt their own people.

And this also raises a question, that is, Tian Dan's description of the Fire Ox Formation Breaking Yan Army, there is one place that becomes quite interesting, that is, what kind of way did Tian Dan use to control the attack direction of the herd after releasing the herd.

However, even if he knew how Tian Dan controlled the direction of the herd's assault at that time, it would not be of much use, because the Qin officers and soldiers defending the city this time did not intend to use this method to launch such an operation against the Chu army at all.

......

According to Zhang Jiashi's experience in the past few years, the number of uses of the Fire Bull Array in the history books is not too small.

In China, in addition to Tiandan's fire ox array, many of the fire ox arrays were used many times failed, and in 647 AD, Tang Taizong ordered Wang Xuance as the chief envoy and Jiang Shiren as the deputy envoy and a line of 30 people to the Western Regions.

Outside the North Indian Chabo and Luo cities, Wang Xuance used the "Fire Bull Array" to defeat tens of thousands of Indian troops. A Luo Shun was shocked, he couldn't defend the city, and Xuan Ce was bent on revenge. took out the various means of the Tang army to attack the city, such as ladders, stone throwers, and fire attacks, and attacked Yueyu fiercely. In 648 A.D., Cha Bo and Luo Cheng soldiers broke the city, Xuan Ce chased all the way, killed 3,000 Indian soldiers, more than 10,000 Indian soldiers drowned, 11,000 captured, and Aroshuna fled back to Central India.

Wang Xuance took advantage of the situation to invade Central India and vowed to destroy India. As soon as the Indian generals came into contact with the Tang army (regarded as the Foreign Legion), they collapsed, and Aroshuna abandoned the country and defected to the East Indies to seek reinforcements from the East Indian king, and then recruited scattered generals to prepare for a counterattack on the Tang army. Xuan Ce and Shi Ren set up a division of troops to lure Aroshuna to the bait, and in one fell swoop, they completely annihilated the remnants of Aroshuna, captured Aroshuna alive, and killed the rest of the people. In the end, the Acropolis of Chaoqiantuo, which was defended by tens of thousands of troops by Aroshuna's wife, was also breached by Jiang Shiren, and the cities near and far fell to the wind, and Central India perished.

Due to the aid of the East Indies to Aroshuna, Wang Xuance was ready to take advantage of the situation to destroy the East Indies again. The corpse was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly sent ten thousand cattle and horses, a number of treasures with bows and knives, apologized to Tang Shi, and expressed his surrender to the Tang Empire. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed, and issued an edict to reward Xuan Ce and confer the dispersal of the court's doctors.

This is also a quite successful way to use the fire bull array, and in comparison, the fire bull array has failed more times, just like in September to November 1944, after a series of peripheral battles, the Japanese army has come to Guilin City, this time, Guilin City has made 3 months of combat preparations, each position has been set up in front of the barbed wire, deer barricades, wooden fences, rails and other obstacles, but also focused on the laying of trigger mines.

On November 2, when the Japanese attacked the position where the 392nd Regiment was stationed, they were blown up by mines and the corpses were scattered all over the ground. The next day, the Japanese army learned a lesson, they thought of the fire bull array in Chinese history, so when attacking the position of Jiang Zhenyu's 393 regiment, they forcibly pulled more than 100 ploughing cattle, first burned the oxtail with fire, and then drove the cattle into the mine array laid outside the north gate, so as to achieve the destructive effect, pity those ploughing cattle, all made cannon fodder. Unfortunately, the mines were only part of the defense system, and although the enemy then cooperated with the ground and air to prepare to force the crossing of the Li River, the attempt to force the crossing was unsuccessful.

It can be said that the tactics of the Fire Ox Formation are not so easy to control, and people who are not very proficient in the habits of the Ox are quite easy to fail when using the Fire Ox Array, and Tian Dan and Wang Xuance themselves are also from agricultural personnel, and they can be regarded as having some experience in this regard, which may be one of the reasons why the two of them succeeded in using the Fire Ox Array.

With about 20,000 troops to hold Jimo, in terms of troops, it is not overstretched, but to maintain the various consumption of these troops, it is not enough to rely on the Lou Chuan Shi troops.

And more importantly, the Lou Ship Soldier Corps also needs to allocate a part of the ships to maintain the material consumption of Chung To's troops. This also shows in many senses that the Qin officers and soldiers could not hold on to this place in Jimo for too long.

After the sun slowly set, the Chu army finally left behind nearly 6,000 corpses and at least 3,000 seriously wounded and returned to their camp.

Seeing this situation, the Qin army defending the city, which had been fighting hard for a day, finally got a chance to rest.

After arranging for their own officers to command the rotating troops to guard the city wall, Zi Anxun and others returned to the county government of Jimo.

In this place, Zi Anxun and Wenle glanced at Zheng Hao, who lowered his head and did not speak. It's not that they don't know that today's situation is quite dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that the commander of the besieging Chu army on the opposite side is indeed even worse in many aspects, I'm afraid what kind of situation it will become now, they don't dare to imagine.

But Zi Anxun and Wen Le did not blame each other, but after taking a deep breath, they said a sentence: "Everyone, let's talk about our preliminary statistics of casualties and material consumption data." ”

After a while, Zi Anxun, Wen Le and Zheng Hao were in a very bad mood, because there were nearly a thousand casualties, which was within the acceptable range of them.

But in comparison, the consumption of corresponding materials is too large, which is also the reason why the three of them are in a bad mood.

Of course, during such a period of time, the materials hoarded or collected from nearby in the Jimo area are not too small, but according to this rate of material consumption, whether it is Zi Anxun, Wenle or Zheng Hao, they all know that many of their materials will be directly consumed after five days.

And the worst part is that the speed of consumption of those oil bombs may be completely consumed after three days.

"When is the next supply coming?"

Wenle was silent for a while before saying this.

And Zi Anxun sighed slightly, and said something that made Zheng Hao continue to be silent: "At least three days, another batch of materials will arrive in this city." ”

......

In fact, Zi Anxun said that at least three days is simply impossible, if it is according to the normal situation, if the Jimo region wants to get the corresponding amount of supplies, there is no five days to wait for this amount of materials.

But Wen Le knew one thing very clearly, that is, no matter how difficult it was for these commanders, they could not show a trace of morale-affecting expression in front of the officers and soldiers under their command.

......

In the Chu army barracks, Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Shang who was dragged out of the camp tent, and Xiang Zhuang and other Chu army officers who knelt in the camp tent to intercede for Xiang Shang, their expressions were cloudy......
