Chapter 87 City Defense
An excellent city defense line requires a combination of different defense lines. Regardless of the famous city of Xiangyang, we will talk about the city defense of Gangneung alone, which also forms a continuous city defense system.
Before Guan Yu built the southern city, the Jinan city of the northern city was surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by moats outside, and the city wall was more than seven meters high, including the urn city. There is a small city of Yingcheng in the east, and there are ten thousand cities in the southwest, forming a supporting defense system.
A large part of the reason why Cao Ren was able to play the power of heaven and man was that the Jiangling city defense system was too difficult to gnaw, and of course it could not be denied that Cao Ren could defend it.
When Guan Yu led the military of Jingzhou, he imitated Xiangfan's city system and built the southern city in the south of the Yangtze River. At this point, the difficulty of Jiangling has reached a higher level, and it can be said that the difficulty of the city is second only to the second city of Xiangfan, so Zhu Ran was able to resist for half a year.
If it weren't for Guan Yu's best teammates like Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, Lu Meng would take the lead to conquer Jiangling City.
It can be said that an excellent urban defense system is inseparable from the facilities of the city itself and the surrounding geographical conditions. But a good offensive and defensive battle requires reliable teammates.
In Zhao Yun's cognition, Pengze City belongs to an ordinary county seat, although it is built on the mountain, it lacks high-level city defense facilities such as moats and urn cities, and it is difficult to imitate high-level city guards.
For example, the combat method of the urn city is not to close the gate of the urn city, so that the enemy army can break through, and then wait for the enemy army to enter the urn city, but the door inside is blocked, and the enemy army will be surrounded and shot.
Today, there is a lack of the defense system of the urn city, and the east gate, which is the most vulnerable to attack, once it is breached, the enemy will drive straight in, how can it not be blocked!
Regarding Zhao Yun's doubts, Huo Jun smiled slightly, and explained freely: "Whoever guards the city, the city gate is more expensive or less, and the city gate is expensive and not expensive to close!" ”
Riding his horse slowly, Huo Jun held the white whip and said: "Those who defend the city should not close the city gate, because the soldiers dare not fight with the enemy. When observing the situation of the enemy's army, if you know a little about the flaw, you will send troops to attack it. During the day, the cavalry disturbed the formation, and at night they cut off their camps. so that they cannot rest day and night, and naturally they do not dare to build a walled city near the city. Using the wall as a barrier, as a means of containment, it is often used to attack labor. ……”
Maybe there is a bonus of the iron wall buff, Huo Jun seems to be able to defend the city at all. After he self-delved into the cases of siege wars in the past, he also formed his own defensive warfare cognition.
In fact, offensive and defensive warfare is also a form of warfare, and like field warfare, it must have the initiative in war, unless it is a last resort, and it is necessary to defend the center and lead the attack. Makes enemies restless and bold, inflicts massive damage on enemies, and boosts their morale.
If Zhang 800 broke 100,000 grandchildren, how could it really be an army of 800 people attacking 100,000 people. Instead, Zhang Liao had an extremely keen ability to perceive the battlefield, and when the enemy's foothold was not stable and the deployment had not yet been adjusted in place, he relied on his own bravery to repeatedly rush and kill in the superior enemy army.
Therefore, if you want to occupy the initiative on the battlefield, the first thing is to ensure that the sergeants can easily enter and exit the city gate, and how can they close their homes. Now Huo Jun led the troops to reinforcements, relying on the condescending advantage of Haoshan, and with brave generals like Zhao Yun, how could he not dare to compete with Sun Quan.
Even if Zhou Yu came, Huo Jun was not afraid!
Zhao Yun rode a horse and followed Huo Jun's side, listening to Huo Jun's core idea of offensive and defensive warfare, and his heart became more and more admired. Without the accumulation of experience on a large scale, this kind of ideological essence cannot form a systematic ideology at all. With Huo Jun's current age, he must not have experienced a lot of offensive and defensive battles. How can it be possessed is nothing more than relying on its own talent, as well as the study of the wars of the past dynasties.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun had no objection to Huo Jun restraining himself and presiding over Peng Ze's battle. If you want to reach the admiration stage, it depends on what kind of results Huo Jun can take him.
"With Huo Jingbei's intentions, do you want to go out of the city to attack the enemy?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Exactly!"
Huo Jun bowed his head slightly, and said: "The eldest son, General Zuo, and Sun Fu are fighting against Sun Ben and Sun Fu, and I don't know when they will be able to conquer them." Now the hearts of the people in the city are complicated, the general gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are people in the city, I waited for the first time to this city, benevolence and righteousness have not been applied, if you do not fold its troops, I am afraid that the people will not be at ease. ”
One of the reasons why Huo Jun is not ready to defend the city is that the people in the city are not attached. It was only a month or two after Zhao Yun conquered Pengze City, and the people did not return to their hearts. Not to mention that he also recruited 700 soldiers and surrendered 300 Jiangdong soldiers, these people are uncertain factors in the city.
At the same time, it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers under Zhao Yun and Huo Jun's tent will not be timid. Therefore, if you want to fight a long-term offensive and defensive war, you must play a majestic role in the early stage, make the enemy timid, and make your people believe that the city can be defended. After all, the most difficult part of defending the city is not whether the city is strong, but whether the people's hearts are united.
"What Huo Jingbei said should be in line with military reason." Zhao Yun said: "Pengze City is bordered by the river in the north, and Chaisang is far away in the west. If you don't break the thief first, it is really as you said when you joined the army, and people's hearts are chaotic. ”
Huo Jun pointed to the mountain and said: "The eastern city is vast, Sun Quan led his troops to Pengze, and he should camp outside the eastern city. At that time, the general could watch his army formation from the top of the mountain, and if he got a fighter, he could send it when the time came. General Shi led his cavalry to gallop down the mountain, broke the formation and killed the enemy, and then turned into the city. The soldiers in the city should raise troops to respond to the peace and receive the general. ”
After a pause, Huo Jun pointed to the layout outside the East City and said, "There is no urn city today, and the enemy can know that the city gate is closed." When the quick-kill farmer was five feet away from the city, he urgently built a wall to protect the gate, so that the city gate could not be opened and closed outside, so that it was convenient for the army to attack and disturb. ”
"No!"
Defending the city is the details, and the battle is also the details. Although Zhao Yun is meticulous, he is good at riding and fighting, and there are always mistakes. Now that Huo Jun is coming, Zhao Yun will be greatly liberated and will allow him to concentrate on fighting.
After inspecting inside and outside the city for a long time, Huo Jun, who had a slight idea, entered the city, immediately took over all the city defense arrangements, convened the officials in the city, set up a curfew, distributed identity wooden cards, prohibited outsiders from entering the city, and implemented a joint sitting system......
Zhao Yun was not idle, and led his troops to move to the vast mountain, built a camp, and became familiar with the cavalry.
……
Not far away, about 10,000 troops came from the river. On the flagship of the Chinese army, Sun Quan discussed the military with his military officials.
"Who is Zhao Yun?" Sun Quan moved his ass and asked, "Who knows this person?" ”
Compared with Liu Guanzhang, Zhao Yun's reputation is really weak, and he almost didn't have any good records in his early years. At the beginning of Gongsun Zhan, he was not a famous general. Later, he followed Liu Bei in Yecheng, and so far he has no military exploits except for the battle of Bowangpo.
Huang Gai groaned a little and said, "General, Zhao Yun, Zilong, Hebei people." At first, he followed Gongsun Zhan, and then Liu Bei, and conquered Qingzhou. Later Gongsun Zan was defeated, and he was a general under Liu Bei's account. He has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he is quite good at cavalry. ”
Sun Quan rubbed his hands and asked, "Liu Bei has sent people under the fence so far, and Zhao Yun is also unwilling. It is better to send an envoy into the city to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender, so as not to cause Peng Ze to suffer from the soldiers, and to show him as a general and show his ambitions. ”
Obviously, Sun Quan is eyeing Zhao Yun, and there are too few generals in the Jiangdong Army who are good at cavalry, and there are only two of them, Han Dang and Tai Shici. Now Tai Shici is dead, Han Dang is old again, and he is basically in a state of no successor. If Zhao Yun can come to Jiangdong, it will enhance Jiangdong's military strength in a sense.
Sun Quan is not a person without ambition, and in his eyes, Liu Bei's entry into Kou Yuzhang is his opportunity. If he can defeat Liu Bei, he will not only be able to increase his prestige, but also swallow up the soldiers who are good at riding under Liu Bei's account.
As he spoke, Sun Quan looked to Wenchen's side and asked, "I don't know which wise man took a trip for Gu?" ”
Qin Song stood up and said, "If the general does not give up, Song is willing to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender in order to enter the city." ”
Qin Songzi table, Xuzhou Guangling people. When Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, he and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Duan and others were the masterminds. Seeing that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, they also want to show one or two and persuade Zhao Yun to surrender, thinking that they are the qualifications for promotion.
"Good!" Sun Quan saw that it was Qin Song, and said with a smile: "With Mr. Wenbiao's envoy, he will be able to succeed immediately." ”
Zhang Hong stroked his beard and said, "Lord, don't just pin your hopes on persuasion. When the military force is exerted from outside, the enemy is timid, and then persuade him. If Zhao Yun does not surrender, he will besiege the three missing one, and use the soldiers to break the city and win the people. ”
"When from the east!" Sun Quan applauded and said: "The east is the son of the orphan!" ”
Saying that, Sun Quan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Zhang Gong is the lonely Xiao He, so I don't know that the lonely Han Xin'an is here!"
