…

Shock!

Shock from the bottom of my heart!

The Liang family, especially Liang Jin, who has been in the army all his life, has not seen a strong army, nor has he never seen a strong army attacking a city, as for the bed crossbows, trebuchets, wooden curtains, chariots, ladders and other siege equipment used by the Tiger Ben army to attack the city, he has seen and used everything.

- Although the siege equipment of the Tiger Ben Army, under Li Cun's request and guidance, has undergone some changes, it has not departed from its original appearance as a whole.

But the siege effect of these combinations is something that Liang Jin has never seen before!

On the battlefield, nothing is more tragic than siege warfare.

Sieges are often the most troublesome battles for generals.

How much does it cost to capture a city?

That's not easy to say, if you take the battle of Yubi and the battle of Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang as an example, it will make the siege fighters desperate.

In the battle of Yubi, Gao Huan's hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Wei Xiaokuan, digging mountains and tunnels, and all that could be used was used, but in exchange for 70,000 dead and wounded in 60 days, the city was still standing, which made Gao Huan die of grief.

Zhang's defense of Suiyang was even more powerful, and only one city blocked An Lushan's 180,000 rebels from moving south to Jianghuai, protecting half of the country for the Tang Dynasty.

In an hour, a well-defended city was attacked, and Liang Jin was simply unheard of.

Is that because Fuyang City is small?

This is just the layman's opinion.

Those who really know how to fight soldiers all know that most big cities are easier to fight than small ones.

The protection of major cities is generally guarded by successive passes and garrisons nearby, and when the enemy is under the walls of the main city, it can only mean that the defending troops have been almost wiped out, all field battles have basically failed, important passes have been lost, and morale is gone.

Moreover, the huge length of the city wall of a large city looks terrifying, but if it really fights, the defending forces are scattered on the city wall for dozens of miles, and it is easy to be broken through in a concentrated manner.

Like Li Yuan's breaking of Chang'an, it is the most typical example.

And the Battle of Yubi and Zhang Patrol guarded Suiyang, and the defenders defended a small city like Fuyang City.

Is it because the defenders can't do it, Fuyang City was easily broken by the Tiger Army?

There must be such a reason, after all, the southeast has been peaceful here for too long, so long that people no longer know how to fight.

But the problem is that the Tiger Ben Army has just been established, which is not difficult to see from the actions of the Tiger Ben Army soldiers who rushed to the city wall.

However, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army have no experience and no experience, but the morale is really not ordinarily high, they rush to the city wall one after another, even if they fall off the ladder, they will not check their injuries, and continue to climb directly to the city wall, for fear that they will lag behind others, as if there are naked beauties on the city wall, they can go up as long as they rush up.

I don't understand.

The Liang family couldn't understand it.

Even Liang Jin, who has been in the army all his life, can't understand it.

How did this army, which is different everywhere, come to be?!

Li Cun called Liang Jin over and asked, "How is our army?" ”

Liang Jin said half complimentally, half sincerely: "Really strong army." ”

didn't want to, but Li Cun said: "They are still far from a strong army, but they can barely use it just now." ”

Liang Jin didn't dare to agree: "The general is too modest, the villain has fought all his life, and he has built a city in an hour, and the villain has only seen it in his life." ”

Li Cunxin said: "What is this level of firepower suppression, if it weren't for the fact that I was too busy to have time to prepare weapons properly, I would let you see what firepower coverage is really convenient." ”

Seriously, in Li Cun's opinion, the best battle to fight is the siege battle.

With the advent of gunpowder, especially after the creation of siege artillery, the war will certainly be pushed to another level, and at that time, the role of the city walls will become less and less.

When gunpowder weapons develop to a certain extent, the city wall can only become a symbol, just like the magnificent city walls of several ancient capitals in later generations, in the face of artillery, they no longer have the ability to protect the city.

Li Cun is definitely capable of making the walls of any fortified city lose the ability to protect the city, but he doesn't have the time yet.

After about an hour, Niu Meng came out of the city triumphantly and told Li Cun that all the defenders in the city had surrendered, and all the dignitaries and nobles had been captured by him, except for those who ran away from the north, and asked Li Cun to enter the city to review.

Niu Meng's request was rejected by Li Cun.

Li Cun only let Zhang Shihe and the army he selected to garrison Fuyang City enter the city to replace the former army of Huben and raid the homes of those dignitaries who dared to resist stubbornly.

In addition, it should be noted that after Han Bei threw over, under Su Dong, he made many military exploits, Yupu Town and Qianqing Town, he was the first, as if he had become the number one general under Su Dong, and the crossbowmen brought out by Han Bei also performed well.

Therefore, Li Cun no longer kills the low-level soldiers who obey orders, and no longer arrests their families and confiscates their property, but throws them into the recruit camp to train with other recruits and undergo political transformation together, and if they are well trained and reformed ideologically, for example, they take the initiative to lead their families to join the Tiger Ben Army, and they will be added to the main forces after the end of the recruit period, and if they are stubborn, they will be sent to the labor camp to be strong laborers.

At the same time that Zhang Shi led people to take over Fuyang City and raid the homes of those high-ranking officials and nobles, Li Cun also asked Kang Jian and others to count the merits of the battle, including the soldiers of the Tiger Army who participated in the siege of the city, including the soldiers of the Tiger Army who participated in the manufacture and control of siege equipment, and even the auxiliary troops who sent arrows and artillery stones.

When it was almost dawn, all the families of the dignitaries and nobles who participated in the resistance were tied up out of the city, and their belongings were transported out of the city in an orderly manner and loaded directly onto the ship.

At the same time, the merits were also counted, and they were confirmed by the soldiers who participated in the war and reviewed by Li Cun himself.

Next, it is to reward the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army for their meritorious service.

Simply.

This is the first feeling of the Liang family, and it is also the biggest feeling of the Liang family.

If there is merit, Li Cun will be rewarded immediately, unlike the Zhao and Song courts, which procrastinate, and no one dares to do anything about military merits, because all military merits need to be confirmed by the meritorious person himself and Li Cun himself.

Of course, this is also because there are still few tiger soldiers, and if you become stronger and bigger, you will definitely have to go through the process.

But who would think that far ahead?

At least for now, the Hu Ben Army's approach has made the Liang family, who are also soldiers, feel comfortable.

Niu Meng picked one of the most beautiful women from the sinners on his shoulder, and Niu Meng's personal soldiers rolled a helpless one to follow behind Niu Meng, plus Li Cun promoted Niu Meng to a martial arts officer, opening a precedent for the martial officer of the Tiger Ben Army, Niu Meng is really a cow.

When he came to the generals, Niu Meng laughed and said: "You can wait and work hard, Grandpa Niu's waist has not been good recently, and these little ladies are really grinding people to death." ”

After speaking, Niu Meng also glanced at Zhao Han'er defiantly, and then slapped the ass of the beauty on his shoulder, and said loudly: "Go, beauty, Grandpa Niu will take you to be happy!" ”

When the soldiers of the former army of Huben saw this, they all burst into laughter, full of momentum.

And the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Chinese Army all hung their heads and drooped their heads, without the slightest momentum.

Zhao Han'er came directly to Li Cun, hugged her fists and said, "General!" If I don't let my Chinese army eat meat in the next war, the general will remove him from the post of commander of the Chinese army. ”

Liang Jin saw it, whether it was Zhao Han'er or the other soldiers of the Huben Chinese Army, they all sincerely wanted to fight, in other words, they were happy when they heard the war, they only hated that there was no war to fight, and there were no cowardly people.

This couldn't help but remind Liang Jin of the legendary Qin army that swept through the Six Kingdoms.

When you hear the battle, you are happy, and you will not win!

Sizzle!

Why is this happening?

It wasn't until Liang Jin saw an ordinary soldier like an old farmer holding a hundred taels of snowflake silver in one hand, resisting the newly married young lady of Fuyang County with the other, and walking towards a tent with his head held high amid the coaxing of a group of tiger soldiers, that Liang Jin seemed to have some understanding.

At this moment, Li Cun suddenly said to Liang Jin: "Old General Liang." ”

Liang Jin hurriedly responded: "The last will be." ”

Li Cun smiled and said, "How about your Liang family doing me a small favor?" ”

Liang Jin didn't even hesitate before responding: "Don't dare to say anything to help, just give orders to the general." ”

Li Cun didn't talk nonsense anymore, and pointed directly to a large number of Fuyang officials and gentry kneeling not far away, and said, "Help me cut off their heads." ”
