Chapter 504: Kill the chicken with a butcher's knife
Li Fusheng's head was a little dizzy, because Uncle Zheng's previous words made him unable to accept it for a while.
Frankly speaking, Li Fusheng himself is not a good person. Of course, he himself has never claimed to be a good person;
In his own words, he has committed too many murders in his life. , I never thought that I would die of old age and a sick bed and have a good death.
He likes killing people, and he likes the feeling of the hot blood covering his body layer by layer, which can give him a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
A long time ago, the blind man said that Li Fusheng had mental illness.
Li Fusheng knew this himself, so when he met Zheng Fan for the first time, he specifically told Zheng Fan to remind himself to restrain his impulse when necessary.
However,
Li Fusheng always thought that he was on the second floor, but he never thought that the little brother he had supported and valued in the past had quietly climbed to the fifth floor. You need to look up yourself.
But he still remembered that when Zheng Fan conveyed the order to kill the prisoners under Yupan City, he was obviously in a strong mood, which meant that Zheng Fan had great feelings of rejection in his heart at that time.
Li Fusheng didn't know the words "rational" and "emotional", but he could tell that Zheng Fan was unwilling to issue that order at that time.
But how long has passed,
The little brother back then,
now I can calmly say to myself, risk the lives of tens of thousands of savages to practice Siege the city.
And this was by no means a sudden thought, but something that came to mind immediately after he saw him. To be precise, he saw him and learned that he had brought so many soldiers. plan.
There was no rehearsal or careful consideration, because the soldiers and horses of Xuehaiguan were fine for fighting encounters and raids, but if they wanted to herd tens of thousands of savages into one area and toward the two cities like sheep, even if Xueguan was It can't be done without leaving a single soldier to guard the house and sending out all the troops.
So, this is really a temporary idea.
What does it mean to make a temporary decision?
I suddenly felt idle and wanted to chew two mint leaves and add a plate of pork head to my dinner.
The lives of these tens of thousands of savages, in the eyes of my little brother, are just two mint leaves and a plate of pig head meat.
Li Fusheng himself has a desire for killing and enjoys it, while Zheng Fan shows a kind of indifference to life.
Perhaps,
This is because Li Fusheng has not seen Zheng Fan that much in recent years. People who stay around Zheng Fan every day may not feel it so deeply, that is Uncle Zheng himself. , In fact, I didn’t notice the change in my mood.
Uncle Zheng looked at Li Fusheng and waved his hand in front of him.
Li Fusheng suddenly came to his senses and smiled at his previous distraction.
At this time,
He Chunlai and his men brought a table and a chair. Then, fresh fruits and melons were placed on the table. Black Dragon Flag and Zheng Zi Flag.
Chen Daole placed the drawing board diagonally opposite and stood it up. The drawing paper had been laid out and the paints had been mixed.
"This is..."
Li Fusheng obviously didn't understand the situation at hand. Is this a war or an outing?
Uncle Zheng walked to the armchair, sat down, put his legs on the table, held the melon in his other hand and started eating.
On the other side,
Chen Daole began to paint.
Li Fusheng came over. Although he was a rough man, he knew that he should not walk into the "painting" at this time, but he still couldn't help but asked:
"Brother Zheng , what are you?”
"Keep it as a souvenir." Uncle Zheng smiled and invited Li Fusheng to come and eat melon with him.
Li Fusheng shook his head;
Actually, he could understand this habit of painting. When a group of their generals were at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, everyone was also invited by the painter Zhenbei Hou. I drew two pictures, one in armor and one in casual clothes, but there is no doubt that the postures are extremely serious. How can anyone look like Zheng Fan?
At this time, Uncle Zheng had no time to explain to Li Fusheng what "propaganda" meant. As a "god" in the god-making movement, this is the responsibility that Uncle Zheng must bear.
Chen Daole painted one painting first. This painting is collected by Uncle Zheng himself. He can also copy a few more and give them away;
Later, Chen Daole will also design and carve a template to facilitate rubbings. The rubbing version will naturally not be precise, but you can still clearly see Uncle Zheng who is fighting in the distance and eating melon nearby.
During the Chinese New Year, Uncle Zheng’s New Year pictures will be sold in the shops in Xuehaiguan, and soldiers and civilians will buy them home. Some of them will be used as door gods, and some will be enshrined in the main hall of their homes.
Fortunately, Chen Daole only made an outline and composition, and Uncle Zheng no longer had to pose for the rest.
Li Fusheng didn't wait long before he came to the front line with Zheng Fan.
Ahead, there is a castle.
This castle has changed its name many times in history, because it has become a rule that it will be renamed every time the head of the Situ family changes.
Because building a city in the snowfield is a very glorious thing, which means that the Jin people not only completely drove the barbarians out of the three Jin lands, but also kneaded them wantonly on the snowfield. .
After the fall of these two cities, the Savage King renamed them, one was called Anhu, and the other was called Dadie.
means the beginning and the end in savage language.
The original intention of the Savage King was probably to announce that the history of the Savages being oppressed by the Jin people was over, and the bright future of the Savages had begun.
The dream is still very full, but this reality is so skinny.
At this time, the city in front of Uncle Zheng and Li Fusheng was Anhu City.
The city wall is actually not particularly tall. It is incomparable to Zhennanguan Pass, and even less so to Xueguan Pass.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. If the talent of the Yan people lies in weapon smelting and forging, then the talent of the Jin people lies in city construction.
Tianguan Pass, Zhennanguan Pass, Xueguan Pass and other important pass towns are all benchmark works of Jin people, but it is a pity:
Xiongguan is still there, but the Jin Emperor has not come.
According to Uncle Zheng's instructions, the Yan army was divided into three parts.
The main force of the Chinese army is under Anhu City;
Part of it, led by Jin Shuke and Keyan Dongge, has begun to plunder the pastures and headquarters of these tribes.
The warriors in their tribe have basically been expelled and besieged here. The tribe must be extremely empty, and it is not difficult to break their ranch headquarters;
The other part continued to stare at Dadie City, where the barbarian soldiers and horses would immediately push them back once they had the intention of breaking out.
If you have enough soldiers and horses under your command, you will be able to do things with ease.
"Brother, please."
Uncle Zheng asked Li Fusheng to climb an arrow tower with him.
If there was really a war against Chu, Uncle Zheng would not go up here, because after the siege started, the trebuchets from both sides kept hitting each other, and the main force of the trebuchets in the city was The target, as well as the target of the giant crossbow on the city wall, is the siege tower.
But now that the savages have just been driven in, it is impossible to have such a thing.
After climbing up to the arrow tower, the view is much better.
Li Fusheng stretched out his hand and touched the iron sheet on the enemy side of the arrow tower, and said with emotion:
"Brother Zheng, I have also seen the attack made by the craftsmen there in Yingdu and Fengxin. City tools, but the ones here are obviously much more refined and sophisticated than theirs."
Zheng Fan responded: "They were also trained by my people in the beginning."
During the Second Battle of Wangjiang, Jingnan Marquis took command and went out. Zheng Fan was still General Sheng Le and led the troops there to accept the dispatch. At that time, he thought he was going to attack Yupan City, so Xue San led a group of craftsmen to make some equipment. That time, Tian Wujing also noticed it, which was why Tian Wujing later handed over the people from Tianji Pavilion to him.
"Brother Zheng, I don’t even know what to say about you. Brother, I have long thought that you are a talent, but I never expected that there is such a person like Brother Zheng in the world.
Fortunately, brother Zheng, you are from Yan. If you were born in Qian country, Or Chu State, then I, Dayan, will really have a headache."
Hearing this, Zheng Fan smiled and said:
"If I were born in Qian State, how could I join the army? I would have taken the imperial examination early. Go, donghuamen roll call is a good man, isn’t it?”
"Hahahaha, this is the truth, this is the truth."
The battlefield is already being laid out.
The army pressed forward, and the arrow towers and trebuchets were assembled, but it was still early for the actual siege. First, the civilians and auxiliary soldiers began to dig trenches and set up strongholds.
In order to defend, the defenders in the city often set up traps in advance, dredge the moat, etc. However, the attackers also need to make complete preparations to prevent the defenders in the city from rushing out to fight back. .
Actually, the current preparations are mainly based on the troops and horses from Xue Customs, while the troops and horses brought by Li Fusheng are on the side to look after them.
Upon seeing this, Li Fusheng immediately ordered;
“Order our generals above the rank of captain, and all those who are not here for peripheral security duties, to gather together for me to observe.”
After the order,
Li Fusheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub the railings of the arrow tower,
said with emotion:
"Brother Zheng, look at the orderly appearance below, you really have the true inheritance of our prince."
Tian Wujing pays the most attention to details and rigor in his military use, and this is the most intuitive manifestation. , based on the methodical cooperation of all branches and troops.
In Li Fusheng's view, Zheng Fan is Tian Wujing's direct disciple, and it is normal for them to have similar military tactics.
But what Li Fusheng didn't know was that the training of these soldiers and horses was actually handled by Liang Cheng.
It can only be said that Liang Cheng is the same as Tian Wujing, or in other words, a truly powerful army must pay attention to tactical discipline.
But Uncle Zheng has long been accustomed to taking the credit of the devil kings as his own.
At the moment,
he just nodded lightly,
pointed forward,
Tao:
"Brother, look, the first round of ejection is about to begin."
The trebuchet began to eject, but the effect of the first round of ejection was not satisfactory. Except for a few that hit the city wall, most of them, In fact, they all fell outside the city wall, and a small part smashed into the city wall.
In short, it did not have a very good effect.
“This is a test launch.” Zheng Fan explained to Li Fusheng.
Li Fusheng nodded. Although he had no city for him to attack in the desert before, as the commander-in-chief, he had never eaten pork before and had always seen pigs running away.
However, although from the perspective of Zheng Fan and Li Fusheng, the first round of test firing did not achieve very good results, but the savages in Anhu City ahead were frightened by the sound of the rocks falling.
Anhu City is just a castle after all. After a large number of savages were squeezed in, it became quite crowded. Therefore, the stones that smashed into the city wall caused great damage. The targets were too dense. Yes, as long as you enter, there is a high probability that you will gain something.
As soon as the round of test firing ended, there were four or five barbarian knights in Anhu City, waving white flags made of white cloth pulled from nowhere, and came towards Yan Jun outside the city.
The savages surrendered, because for the savages, there was no need to fight this battle.
Since they were surrounded by Yan cavalry and disintegrated and began to be coerced, they have actually lost the ability to compete in this war.
Even though they have been driven into the city now, Anhu City and Dadie City have been abandoned for a long time. Except for some herdsmen who occasionally rely on the corners to avoid the wind and snow, the rest of the time because it is too close to the Snow Customs, no one else comes here. .
There is no food in the city, and there are no tools to defend the city. How can we defend this city?
The most important thing is that unless the Savage King suddenly resurrects from the dead and decides to save them regardless of past suspicions, they will not even have reinforcements. The other tribes who are not involved in this matter are too far away. , they will not send troops to fight with the Yan people to save them.
However, before the knights invited by the savages came over, the crossbowmen in the front row of the military formation had already drawn their bows and arrows. After a round of volley, the surrendered savages and their mounts, They were all shot into hedgehogs.
The real siege has not yet begun. How could Uncle Zheng allow the other side to surrender early?
This scene was naturally noticed by the savages in the city. Finally, groups of savages began to appear on the city walls.
Obviously, after the surrender was directly rejected, the barbarian heads in the city began to resist, even if this resistance was destined to be powerless.
Here, Yan Jun is continuing his "training". Although the savages in the city should be "brittle", Yan Jun cherishes this hard-won training opportunity, so it is completely To kill a chicken is to use a bull's-eye approach.
Finally, everything is ready.
With the second round of trebuchets, the west wall of Anhu City was hit by stones. For a while, the savages who were originally arranged to come up on the wall were smashed to pieces and screamed. Again and again.
At the bottom, the shield bearers lined up in the front row, with the arrow tower behind them, being pushed forward, and at the end was the battering ram.
“I have to say that the craftsmanship of the Jin people in building cities is really good.” Li Fusheng praised.
The second round of projectiles was quite accurate, but it did not cause too obvious structural damage to the walls of Anhu City.
This means that this city is not a shoddy project, and you must know that this city is to guard against savages. In the previous years, how could savages attack the city? Where can I get a trebuchet?
But the Jin people built the city walls in such a rigid way.
It is conceivable that if the Savage King had successfully retreated back to the snowfield, even these two small castles would have cost the pursuing troops a lot of money to attack.
On the city wall, some savages began to shoot arrows downwards, scattered. Obviously, the first wave of dead and injured savages was consumed too quickly, and the second batch could not be arranged yet.
Besides bows and arrows, the savages have no other equipment to defend the city.
After the distance was sufficient, the Yan Army archers on the arrow tower began to shoot. Because the height difference was evened out by the arrow tower, the damage and effect of the arrows were much better than shooting upwards from below.
Below, there are archers on the ground hiding behind the shield men for cover.
For a time, the arrows from the Yan army's siege side completely suppressed the arrows from the barbarians on the city wall.
The battering ram began to move forward. No matter how stupid the savages were, they all knew what this thing was used for, but there was no way to solve it. They could only watch this big guy coming to the city gate.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
After three impacts,
the city gate
was directly knocked open.
The soldiers pushing the battering ram were stunned for a moment, feeling a little unreal.
On the arrow tower in the distance, Li Fusheng's Adam's apple twitched and said: "Here, brother Zheng, is it possible that those of you who push the siege ram are all masters in the army?"
Zheng Fan said: "There were savages in the city who came out to ask for surrender earlier, and they came out through this gate. They probably didn't block anything behind the city gate."
"Oh, that's it."
Actually, there is one thing Uncle Zheng doesn’t know, that is wild After the Human King led his army to capture Anhu City and Dadie City, the savages who had not yet entered the pass were so excited. After all, they were really poor and looted everything left by the Jin people in the city. Even the city gates were torn down and taken away because there were iron nails and sheets of iron on the gates.
Finally, they were discovered by the Savage King. The Savage King was furious and immediately reprimanded them and ordered them to take other things, but you have to put the city gate back for me!
Forced by the prestige of the Savage King, the savages still put the city gate back in order.
But with such disassembly and installation, this city gate has actually become a formalistic city gate.
At this moment, the third round of trebuchet throwing began. The third projectile was poured with grease, so what was thrown out was a fireball.
This time the projectile was slightly farther away, which meant that it deliberately hit the back of the city wall. Immediately, another shrill scream came from the city.
Then,
the shield bearer got out of the way, and the Yan soldiers rushed up with the ladder. They put the ladder on the city wall and began to climb. It had been pulled far enough. Because the blockage from the city wall was too slight for the arrow tower at a distance, we did not choose to disassemble the lower parts and let the entire arrow tower fall towards the city wall. Instead, we directly disassembled a long baffle from above. Made a bridge.
The archers inside drew their weapons and rushed up the city wall on the bridge.
The scattered savages on the city wall were quickly cleared, and the Yan army easily occupied the west city wall.
Li Fusheng smacked his lips and said with some regret: "It's good, it's good, but it's too fast. I haven't tasted it yet."
Zheng Fan listened,
Smiled:
"This is easy to handle."
Immediately,
Uncle Zheng ordered a personal guard behind him:
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops, changes to another wall and attacks again."
