Chapter 64: The Siege of the City
"The order goes down, and no one in the whole army is allowed to fight. The city gate is hung with a free battle card, and if the enemy scolds the war, he will send them two stone bullets" In the guerrilla general's mansion, Liu Ke took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said to the herald beside him unhurriedly.
"General, a total of 1,000 young men have been recruited in the city, and they are currently being arranged in the barracks in the city, and the specific arrangements are still under the instructions of the general." Jia Yi reported to Liu Ke that he was not used to the military salute in the Le'an army, so Liu Ke did not force him.
"Kecheng, are you going to take a trip?" Liu Ke said to Liu Kecheng who was standing aside.
"What do you want me to do?" Liu Kecheng said.
"Take them for daily training, and at the same time be responsible for maintaining law and order in the city." Liu Ke said to Liu Kecheng.
The battle plan formulated by Liu Ke is complemented by Fan Xiwen's plan outside the city, and Liu Ke only needs to hold the city steadily. But there is also one of the most important things in the middle, and that is that the people who have been brought in on a large scale before must be prevented from rioting at all times. Once these people are lured into rioting by some well-intentioned people, then the matter will be a big deal. Therefore, Liu Ke must invest in the troops to prevent it, and it is really impatient to invest this thousand strong men in the troops to maintain law and order. In order to ensure the smooth attack of Fan Xiwen outside the city, Liu Ke specially left a regiment of troops to defend the Meritorious Tomb, in fact, the Meritorious Mausoleum does not need a regiment to guard. This regiment was reserved for Fan Xiwen to call when the number of troops was small. This is because when building the Mausoleum, various sudden situations that may occur were taken into account. In addition to a case room, there is only a barracks for soldiers to rest temporarily. In addition, the Mausoleum of the Meritorious Heroes sits on a bronze giant tripod and a boulder. Fan Xiwen doesn't attach much importance to these things, as long as he has troops in hand, a bronze giant tripod is nothing.
Outside the city
"Order some scolding soldiers to go and fight. Damn, these yellow-haired little girls know that the turtles don't come out in the city, so they can't be reincarnated. Hu Zuo led the army to the city of Le'an, and was a little annoyed when he saw the "war-free card" hanging on the city wall of Le'an, after all, the marshal Zhang Niujiao had said before setting off that he wanted him to fight quickly. And Hu Zuo also made a military order in front of Zhang Niujiao, and he must take Le'an within five days, if this Le'an hangs up the five-day "war-free card". Then what kind of face does he have to go to see Zhang Niujiao? It's just that Hu Zuowan didn't think about it. The yellow-haired boy in Le'an City doesn't just want to hang the "war-free card" for five days, if he can, Liu Ke will definitely hang it for a month. Of course, this is incredible! Liu Ke is willing, but he Hu Zuo will not be willing!
After Hu Zuo's order was passed down, his generals quickly selected twenty soldiers who could curse. These 20 Yellow Turban soldiers were all sent to the front by Hu Zuo to scold the front.
"Battalion commander, they're starting to curse." The 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment, 2nd Battalion, and 3rd Battalion were responsible for guarding the West Gate. At this time, the second battalion was in charge. A scout of the second battalion said to the battalion commander Yan Yong.
"These guys want to eat stone bullets so quickly." Yan Yong smiled at the surrounding native soldiers.
"Haha! Battalion commander, shall we fulfill them?" One of the soldiers roared.
"If they have this will, why don't we become adults?" Yan Yong said loudly again.
"Yes, to fulfill them."
"Haha!"
When the big war is coming, we must not be nervous. If you are overstressed, there is a high chance that your morale will drop. Therefore, it is very important to encourage the spirit of the country before the war and relieve the psychological pressure of the soldiers.
Yan Yong did a good job, and the morale of his soldiers was high at the moment, without the slightest nervousness about the coming of the big war.
"Order the rear slinger troops to prepare, and the scouts report the parameters." Yan Yong ordered.
The three brigades, one regiment and one battalion are not responsible for defending the city this time, but are specifically responsible for the stone-throwing of the catapult, which was specially transferred by Liu Ke from the White Wolf Village. The fifty soldiers in charge of the stone throwing took their positions and waited for the scout's parameters.
"The enemy army is about two hundred paces away from my wall." The scout stretched out his finger and placed it in front of his eyes, and soon visually measured the approximate distance of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Two hundred steps ahead".
"Two hundred steps ahead".
The commander of the catapult unit, Simon, said loudly to the soldier in charge of the catapult. The soldier in charge of the catapult quickly adjusted the angle of the catapult. Then report to the commander.
"Battalion commander, the catapult is ready, please instruct!"
"Yes, give them five rounds of stone bullets."
"General, it's been a long time to scold a pillar of incense, and there is no movement in the city, are they really the reincarnation of Wang Ba?" A general of the Yellow Turban Army saw that the soldiers in the scolding array were a little dry, and the content of the scolding had been upgraded from Liu Ke's mother to his grandmother, and Liu Ke had not moved yet.
"Pick some more people to scold together, make the noise louder, let the people in the city hear, and see how incompetent their generals are, and they don't even have the courage to fight." Hu Zuo was also a little impatient, his buttocks were a little uncomfortable sitting on the horse, but Liu Ke was not on the city wall.
Hu Zuo didn't fail to attack the city, but in the end, reason told him that attacking the city at this time was not a wise choice. It is well known that it takes at least ten times as many defenders as many defenders to breach a city. If Hu Zuo's 10,000 troops want to break through Le'an, they will think about it in their dreams, but in fact, the most important thing is that Hu Zuo is afraid of being attacked by the javelin troops of the Le'an army.
The javelin unit of the Le'an army was first famous because Fan Xiwen led his team down the mountain to wait for an opportunity to capture Le'an, but Fan Xiwen used several javelin attacks after that. Hu Zuo was only half-convinced about the rumors of the javelin. After all, no one can say until they have seen it with their own eyes. But not believing it doesn't mean that there isn't, from Hu Zuo's cautious attitude, it seems that he is actually a little entangled. If the rumors are true, then there is a few possibilities that these 10,000 troops can withdraw from the battlefield.
Therefore, what General Hu can do now is to send people to scold the formation.
"Listen to the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, this is the stone bullet that my general rewarded you. I can't satisfy your hunger, but with them, I think you'll have enough food to eat. At the city gate, Yan Yong held an iron cylinder in his hand and said loudly to the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. Yan Yong's voice was originally loud, and after the amplification of the cylinder and the wide plain outside the city, Yan Yong's voice reached the ears of every Yellow Turban Army.
Yan Yong's words made Hu Zuo very surprised and puzzled, and he was surprised that Yan Yong's voice could actually make him hear clearly from two hundred steps away. And what I wonder is what Yan Yong means by what he said.
