Chapter 182: Confronting the Enemy
Zhao Min replied when he heard this: "Of course I know how to fight, but I don't know how to play better." After all, you are a lieutenant general, and you are also a staff general, and I want you to work together as a staff officer. ”
Lan Yu spread out her hand and said, "Niangniang has something to say, but it's okay to say it." ”
When Zhao Min saw the little guy Lan Yu, he restrained his usual arrogance and was willing to listen to himself. So she told her plan.
"Now that the opponent's army is pressing, and there are siege weapons including return artillery, our passive defense is not the way. Sooner or later, the walls of Suzhou City will be smashed by them. Therefore, if we want to hold on to this battle, we must open the city gate and take the initiative to attack, so that the opponent's siege equipment cannot play a role, and then with the help of the danger of Suzhou Creek, we can hold on. ”
After listening to Zhao Min's plan, Lan Yu nodded.
That's exactly what Lan Yu wanted to say. If you can't stick to the current situation, you can only be beaten passively. The city of Suzhou was located in the south, and Zhang Shicheng did not equip the city with artillery and other defensive weapons. The only things that can be used to defend the city are the thunderstone rolling wood prepared in advance, and some bows and arrows.
Without the arch guards of these heavy weapons, it is difficult for Suzhou City to defend under the attack of siege equipment, and even if it is held, it will face large casualties, after all, no one is iron, and the soldiers also need to rest.
If Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were rotated, and the flying stones that returned to the artillery came at this time, there was no way to avoid it, and casualties were inevitable. If the casualties are too great, the morale of the soldiers will be low, and the soldiers who have surrendered before may also turn against them.
When the hearts of the people are gone, the city will really not be able to hold it.
As commanders, both Zhao Min and Lan Yu took this issue into account.
Zhao Min saw Lan Yu nodding and continued: "Then the plan is like this, I just inspected the four gates, and Zhu Yuanzhang's main direction of attack is the east gate where we are now, as well as the south gate. Both of these have the appearance of siege engines. If we can lead our troops and destroy these siege engines, then we can close the city and hold it. And to complete this deployment, you need a fierce general who can fight well to rush and kill. ”
Huo Jia smiled at this time: "Since the battle with Zhang Zhenren, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time. Princess, give me all the way. ”
Zhao Min glanced at Huo Jia, and then said, "No! I mean, I'm going with General Blue Jade for this fight. I was in charge of attacking the east gate, and Lan Yu was in charge of the south gate. We each brought 3,000 elite cavalry to rush and kill, does General Lan think there is something wrong? ”
Lan Yu stood on the city tower and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's troops under the city, which were as dense as ants, and Lan Yu said: "The other party seems to have tens of thousands of people, and Niang Niang is only worthy of each of our three thousand cavalry." Do I admire the courage of the mother? Or should you laugh at the stupidity of the mother. What's more, Niangniang is a woman, and she is a hero, but this matter of charging into battle, please ask Your Majesty to take charge in person. ”
Zhao Min didn't say anything, she handed a wipe to Su Mengqing, Su Mengqing took it with understanding, and then put it on for Zhao Min personally.
Zhao Min's long hair, which was as beautiful as a waterfall, was completely restrained in a few moments. Although Zhao Min is not very tall. But this uniform is quite heroic, and it has the shadow of his father and brother.
After Zhao Min tidied up her armor, she said, "Okay, let's go." Taking advantage of the unstable position of the enemy, rush forward and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. When he walked to Lan Yu's side, Zhao Min also patted Lan Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those six thousand cavalry are the absolute elite of the people I sent to train." All of them are good at riding and shooting, and the charging formation is absolutely reliable. General Lan's martial arts have been mentioned by His Majesty before, since Your Majesty can trust you, then the enemy army at the South Gate will be handed over to You. ”
After that, Zhao Min walked down the city tower by himself.
When they saw this, they all followed in turn. There was already a bloody horse under the tower. With a bow and arrows hanging from the saddle of this handsome tall horse, Zhao Min took a spear from the soldier beside him, and then turned over beautifully and got on the horse.
Huo Jia intervened, looked at Zhao Min and said, "I only knew that you could ride and shoot, but I didn't expect you to be able to marksmanship." ”
Zhao Min carried the spear, then grabbed the reins and said, "What is this, I lived in the grassland and the Ruyang palace when I was a child. I also grew up on horseback. This horse archery and horse warfare are our Mongols' housekeeping skills, how can I not? What's more, I learned a hundred miscellaneous studies in the palace, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, I know a little. ”
Hearing this, Huo Jia stretched out his thumb and teased: "Wuji, that stinky boy, it is really his blessing to be able to marry you in this life." In that case, then I wish you success. ”
Lan Yu, who had been standing behind everyone, also said at this time: "In this case, I am dignified" Lan Yu looked at his figure, now he is an upright young man, and when he is still growing his body, his stature is not very high, "How can my six-foot man be weaker than my daughter's family." ”
Saying that, Lan Yu also took three steps and made two steps, and turned over his mount "Black Wind". Although his mount is not as good as the sweaty BMW under Zhao Min's crotch, it is also a good horse that travels hundreds of miles every day.
After Lan Yu got on the war horse, he said, "In that case, then I will go to the south gate to order troops." Concubine Niangniang, let's see you on the battlefield! Drive! With that, Lan Yu quickly left.
Zhao Min took the helmet handed by Su Mengqing.
Huo Jia said: "It's really hard for you this time, Zhang Wuji, this bastard, knows that he has fun, and all the tiring things are for us to do." ”
When Zhao Min heard this, he smiled and said, "Sister Huojia is serious, Brother Wuji is too tired during this time. He used to be the one who supported us, and now it's time for us to help him. Besides, although Brother Wuji has the heart to surrender, he must completely defeat the opponent's fighting intent. At that time, he will play again, which is the most suitable opportunity. ”
With that, Zhao Min mounted his horse and went to the camp, and the three thousand elite cavalry in full armor were already ready to go, waiting for Zhao Min's order.
After Zhao Min's simple lecture, he rushed out from the east gate of Suzhou City with his cavalry.
Seeing that the gate of Suzhou City was wide open, Tang He, who was in charge of the main attack at the east gate, was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the enemy would dare to open the door and take the initiative to attack under the premise of such a large army pressing the border.
Tang He sat on the lookout and said to the lieutenant general beside him: "What are they going to do?" ”
The adjutant general took a closer look and said, "Commander! The other side rushed out as if it was cavalry, and it seemed that it was specifically coming at us! ”
Tang He unhurriedly picked up the West Lake Longjing tea beside him, and he gently tasted it with the jade pot in his hand. This is the trophy of their extermination of Fang Guozhen, and the taste of this West Lake Longjing is not bad.
Tang He put down the jade pot, looked at the troops rushing into battle, and said indifferently: "Archers prepare!" Sword and shield array cover! ”
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the adjutant immediately stood on the lookout and gave orders to the soldiers below with a flag.
