Chapter 250: Both sides have to eat a trench and grow wise

Zhou Yu was beaten by Chen Deng's exquisite defense to doubt his life, and had to temporarily withdraw his troops to lick his wounds and sum up his lessons.

That night, in the Jiangdong Army camp, Zhou Yu sat behind the handsome case with a pale face, and was stunned by the broken lamp alone.

There were a few drawings on the table, a wine cup pressed on the drawings, and a few drops of residual wine splashed on the drawings that he had cherished, but he had turned a blind eye to them at the moment.

Zhou Yu was not good at craftsmanship and arithmetic, although he was familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war, but the ancient wise generals did not need to know mathematics, and professional things could be handed over to professional people to do.

But today, for the first time, he firmly recognized the importance of arithmetic and craftsmanship.

The trivial things that were originally thrown to craftsmen and planners, at this moment, he can only pick them up in person, humbly ask for advice, and ponder by himself. When you encounter something you don't understand, you put down your body and have an in-depth discussion with the officials and craftsmen who originally looked down on you.

"Zhuge Zhizhi is really a ghost and a god! This time, Ge Bus only imitated the shape after all, but the essence was too far from what Zhuge Liang made...... Don't lose unjustly! It's all I'm sorry Bo Fu! It's big!

I should have thought that when building a car, it should be thick and thin, the more you go to the bottom, the heavier the load-bearing, and the wood should naturally be thicker to support, and when you reach the top, the load-bearing is already small, why not make it thinner?

A little thinner, even if it can't carry a strong crossbow, but once it is shot through, when it is pulled by a huge force, it is easy to break and break, then it will not drag the whole to overturn together, sometimes it is better to sacrifice a little protection from the arrows of the tower soldiers, but also in exchange for more stability!

And this car should be built even bigger! The support inclination angle has to be increased so that it can be stable! It's a pity that everything was too late, and it took about ten days to prepare materials before the war and four days to assemble them before these Ge buses were built, and they were burned in the first battle.

Now, even if we are temporarily thinking about improvement and starting from scratch, how can it be achieved without 20 days or even a month? At that time, the main forces of Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu would have already come over from Wuhu to reinforce them, so let's think about how to fight a water war...... However, if I can't threaten Guangling, will Zhuge Jin come to the rescue? Will you fight this water war? ”

Zhou Yu was in a dilemma, and a thousand difficulties flooded into his mind, making him depressed.

While thinking hard, the curtain of the handsome tent was lifted, and Zhou Yu came back to his senses to see that it was the deputy general Huang Gai.

Zhou Yu had just lost the battle, and he was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public, so he hurriedly got up: "General Huang, you have been here all night, do you have some advice?" ”

Huang Gai didn't show any rebuke or disbelief, but said very calmly: "The audience will say that the governor has been introspecting behind closed doors since the collection of troops, and no one has seen him, so he will come and see."

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this Ge bus was originally built by Zhuge clan, and the enemy army knows more about its ingenuity than us, and it is helpless. As long as you eat a trench and grow wise, the Lord will definitely be able to understand. ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly explained humbly, and shared the experience and worries he had just thought about with Huang Gai.

After Huang Gai heard this, the original dissatisfaction in his heart was slightly resolved.

It seems that Zhou Yu's reflection is still very fast, and after suffering a defeat, he can immediately reflect what the problem is, which is much stronger than ordinary generals.

After Huang Gai comforted him, he asked, "In that case, then do we still want to continue to attack Guangling?" It will take a lot of time to prepare the new Kudzu bus, right? ”

Zhou Yu touched the sparse scum, hesitated, and said: "There is not much hope of quickly breaking through the city, even if it can be broken, at least it will be a protracted battle for more than a month."

However, the siege of the city cannot be stopped, if we stop, Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu will find another way to consume us, and it is already difficult to ride a tiger at this time. Regardless of whether we can capture Guangling or not, we must build up momentum.

Originally, we were surrounded by three sides, east, west, and south, and there was a lack of one in the encirclement, but now we can divide another battalion to the north of the city and completely cut off the canal between Guangling and Sheyang and Huaiyin, not only to ensure that enemy reinforcements cannot enter the city, but also to isolate internal and external information.

In this way, it can spread false news that Guangling is in danger. How to spread it specifically, this matter is arranged by me, and I don't have to worry about General Huang.

If Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu's reinforcements are lured out by us, then fight a decisive battle of water battles on the river to annihilate their main force, and then the city is broken or not, it doesn't matter much, it's a big deal to keep the siege of Guangling, and then divide the troops to plunder behind the enemy.

But before annihilating Zhuge Jin Guan Yu's main force, it is impossible to take such a risk, after dividing the troops, it will be broken by the enemy's reserves, and the division of troops can only be after the annihilation of the enemy's main force. ”

Huang Gai thought about it, and this statement did make sense. When I attacked Guangling, on the one hand, I wanted to try to see if I could break the city directly, and the purpose was to encircle the point and send reinforcements. Now that it is confirmed that there is little hope for the siege, reinforcements can still be fought, it depends on how well the tactical deception is done.

As long as the isolation of the news is well isolated, even if Guangling is as safe as Mount Tai, it is possible to seduce the enemy outside the encirclement to mistakenly think that Guangling is about to fall and must be rescued. This can also achieve the purpose of forcing the enemy to rescue and fighting a decisive battle in water warfare.

It's just that compared with the original ideal situation, the Jiangdong Army suffered thousands more casualties.

And once the decision is made to encircle from three missing one to encircling on all sides, the enemy defending the city will definitely fight to the end, which is also unfavorable for breaking the city, which is equivalent to exchanging the opportunity to break the city for the opportunity to send reinforcements, and there will be gains and losses.

At this time of the war, after the previous attack and defense of the Hangou embankment and the tentative siege of Guangling City, a total of three or four offensives, the Jiangdong Army was all defeated.

The actual casualties of the Jiangdong Army were actually not high, and they added up to more than 10% of the total strength. The key is that the morale is very frustrated, no matter how Zhou Dudu changes his way to attack, he is kicked on the iron plate, and the hearts of the soldiers have begun to shake slightly.

Zhou Yu was actually aware of this, so when he explained the follow-up deployment to Huang Gai, he didn't forget to remind him:

"While dividing troops to besiege the city in the past few days, we must make sure that all battalions are on guard at night to prevent Chen Deng from sending troops out of the city to attack and rob the camp at night.

It is better to let the soldiers sleep in turns and sleep less than a third of the time, so as to ensure that one-third of the soldiers are always on duty at night. Anyway, it won't really go all out during the day, and it doesn't matter if the spirit is almost during the day. ”

Huang Gai was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he still decided to carry it out: "The last general will obey the order...... But does Du Du really think Chen Deng will fight back? He had less than 5,000 men to defend the city. ”

Zhou Yu furrowed his brows and analyzed earnestly: "Now, I suspect that Chen Deng's 'serious illness' may have been part of the strategy, just to trick us into letting down our vigilance. Since the start of the war, we have been put on two lines, and Chen Deng has other back-ups, and I don't feel strange at all.

I just didn't figure it out, Hua Tuo is known as a noble person, a benevolent heart, and travels all over the world to practice medicine. How can you be willing to cheat for the sake of military government affairs and cooperate with Chen Deng! Isn't he afraid that after offending Bo Fu, he won't be able to come to Wuhui for the rest of his life and be retaliated by us! ”

Huang Gai listened to this analysis and felt that it was very reasonable, so he strictly complied with it, adjusted the night duty arrangement, and strictly guarded it.

……

Zhou Yu adjusted his deployment, changed from storming Guangling to isolating the inside and outside, and created the illusion of danger in Guangling to force the water to fight a decisive battle.

In Guangling City, Chen Deng was also very busy that night.

After a great victory in defending the city, of course, he wanted to reward the soldiers and motivate the soldiers, so Chen Deng asked people to open good wine to ensure that all the soldiers participating in the battle could drink two or three bowls tonight.

The massive amount of salted dried fish stored in the city was also taken out and distributed, and after being slightly softened, it was then roasted thoroughly, so that the soldiers could feast on it.

Guangling City is the place where the largest amount of fish caught in the sea in the whole day, and the Guangling tide of the Yangtze River brings the natural gift of the rising and falling tide twice a day at the mouth of the Hangou Canal, and Zhou Yu can not eat the dried salted fish even if he surrounds the Guangling City until the white rice and wheat are eaten.

The biggest disadvantage of these things is that they are too salty, and if modern people eat them, they will definitely not be able to eat them, but the soldiers of the late Han Dynasty are very tolerant. In particular, the garrison on the Guangling side has become accustomed to eating fresh food completely lightly, relying only on the salty taste of dried fish to supplement the salt, plus the physical exertion of the people fighting the war and sweating a lot, so they are not afraid of exceeding the standard.

Rewards and incentives are necessary, but so is accountability and recourse.

After the general reward, Chen Deng gathered the soldiers who were in charge of operating the bed crossbow and trebuchet and other equipment to defend the city one by one, and then personally announced the additional rewards and punishments.

"The crossbowman team of the C-shaped horse face can be the first to do today! The bed crossbow cable arrows they fired pulled down the Ge bus in the center of the enemy army in an instant! This shows that they did a good job of ranging before launching! The length of the rope tied to the tail of the arrow is exquisite!

Therefore, the impact force when the boulder fell into the city was all transmitted to the side pull of the Ge bus! This is also what General Fubo repeatedly emphasized when he instructed this kind of bus-breaking tactics before! They learn so well! All the soldiers of the C-brand horse noodles will be rewarded with 300 five-baht coins per person! A piece of linen! ”

Chen Deng said, waved his hand, and motioned to his military law team to give rewards in public, and the other soldiers next to him looked at these rewards, and couldn't help but blush, and also envied the luck of the crossbowman on the horse face of No. C.

After sending it, Chen Deng's face changed, and he reprimanded the other groups, and the severity was also different.

"The two commanders of the first number of horses, how do you usually train crossbowmen and observers to measure distances? Before the arrows were released, the distance between the enemy's Ge bus and the bed crossbow could be misestimated by several zhang, and the rope was put so long, and finally the boulder fell to the ground, and the rope was not yet tightened!

If it weren't for the reinforcements from the two horses next to you who came to help, and finally gathered more than 100 people to tug the river, your section of the city wall would have been rushed up by the enemy soldiers! The tun chief, who is responsible for the garrison on the left side of the horse face, is directly demoted to the captain of the army! The one in charge on the right has been demoted! Crossbowmen and observers will be punished as ordinary miscellaneous soldiers and participate in ten-day arithmetic training!

How many times have I said that under the command of General Fubo, defending the city and operating sophisticated equipment, you can't just rely on courage and courage to fight, you must have a solid foundation in arithmetic and physical common sense! Even if you can't learn from eye distance measurement, can't you learn to count the stacks directly?

When the enemy's Ge bus approached, the position where the board was set up was a few buttresses from the horse surface, multiplied by the width of seven feet at the convex part of each battlement, and the width of five feet at the recess, and a few battlements were multiplied by a few one zhang and two feet, and the distance came out.

What? You can't even count how many zhang is multiplied by 15? How did you become a tun chief! ”

Chen Deng severely criticized and thoroughly investigated, only to find out that there were actually some officers under his command who operated the equipment guarding the city, and they couldn't even calculate the multiplication of more than a dozen times ten, and the degree of mental retardation exceeded his imagination.

He hurriedly removed these people from their posts, or transferred them from technical units to other melee melee units.

In addition to mathematical garbage, in today's battle, he also found out that several grassroots officers in charge of precision equipment have no common sense of structural mechanics, and the pulley is not stable when it is installed, and the fixed pulley collapses when it encounters the impact force, in short, it is all kinds of ugliness.

And these people should be demoted, and the training and training should all be dealt with by Chen Deng.

He finally realized that the soldiers he led still needed a lot of running-in and drills to perfectly reproduce Zhuge Jin's tactics, especially the study of theoretical knowledge.

The common sense of mathematics and physics of the officers at the grassroots level is so poor that there are people who can't even do simple multiplication!
