"Everything is at your disposal!" Zhang Meng and the others had long established confidence in Duan Ye's duel, and the power of the boulder artillery team was also unquestionable, so they agreed in unison.

"But, my lord, there's a problem with the lowly position." Duan Ping has always been Duan Ye's most trusted person, so he is outspoken.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Duan Ye said with a smile.

"We have a boulder cannon, and it shouldn't be a problem to break the city, but does breaking the city mean taking the city?" Duan Ping asked sharply.

"This..." Duan Ye understood what he meant. In the era of cold weapons, the tortoise shell of the city wall is certainly difficult to deal with, but even if you try your best to open the city wall, if the defenders have already lost their morale, everything will be closed, otherwise there is a terrible level, which is street fighting.

The biggest difference between street fighting and field warfare is that the battlefield is divided by countless buildings arranged according to certain rules, and in ancient cities it was divided by residential houses and streets, and any tactical unit is in a relatively closed and narrow scene, which brings great restrictions to the observation, tactical use and attack of both sides of the war. However, since the defenders of the city were relatively familiar with the environment and were on the defensive, it was a big challenge for the attackers.

Therefore, whether it is the era of cold weapons, or the mechanization age of later generations or even the information age, all this makes street fighting the most complex and tragic type of battle, Song Hao, who defended the city, won the hearts of the people, Jiuquan City is impossible to surrender, even if it is defeated, it is likely to resist to the last person.

But the trouble is that due to the limitations of the environment, the requirements for combat ability during the battle are greatly reduced, and it is completely possible to achieve all the soldiers, and when the time comes, unless the city is slaughtered, any resident may be a killer, and any family may be a fortress.

Duan Ye and the others came all the way to take advantage of the land here, and to collect taxes from the people in the city as people, not to drive them out, and this problem must also be solved.

After thinking about it, Duan Ye said: "Your question is very important, I have to go to Jiexia to talk about it." ”

Lu Guang's big tent.

“…… Now there are boulder cannons, it is not difficult to break the city, but it is difficult to soothe the people, if Jiuquan's vitality is seriously injured for several years and cannot be recovered, what is the use of having an empty city under the festival? After Duan Ye finished speaking, he sat down with a serious expression.

The atmosphere was not solemn, everyone was there, after Duan Ye said this worry, Lu Guang nodded again and again when he heard it, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "What the people of the world said is very true, now that the matter is imminent, everyone will talk about it, what should I do?" ”

Jiang Fei frowned, and said: "Listening to Lord Duan say this, my old Jiang also feels that this is not a matter, these few times I went to the city to call for battle, we also saw it clearly, it is impossible for the Jiuquan people to surrender, everyone hates us to the core, even if we enter the city, I am afraid that we will not stop, really as Lao Duan said, fighting in the streets, I am afraid that we will not be killed or injured, which will also have a great impact on the attack on other counties in Liangzhou." ”

Now Duan Ye is already a celebrity in front of Lu Guang, so everyone is very affectionate to him, and the generals are rough, and many of them call Lao Duan directly.

At this time, Du Jin, who had the heaviest weight, took over the conversation and said: "This matter is very important, but there is a problem, as far as I know, the prestige in Liangzhou in the past was very high, and even if we raised troops to the east, the people of Liangzhou are also very practical, and we must not be so disgusted with us, there must be a mystery in it." ”

When Duan Ye heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a common strategy on the defending side, which was to be alarmist!

This model has been tried and tested from ancient times to the present. Often in the pre-war mobilization, the commander with a compassionate look to move his subordinates and the people, and the gang is to paint the enemy army that is about to attack as a murderous and unblinking demon, into the city to burn and kill and rob all, and then turn out some of the bad things they have done in the past, and finally the commander said that he will not surrender, a number of tricks, so the whole city must fight to the last soldier, and because the resistance is too fierce, often the besieging side, even if the final victory is achieved, Due to the casualties and resentment, it was also difficult to achieve no crimes in the autumn, and many of them directly slaughtered the city in retaliation, so their "wise" prophecy came true.

To put it bluntly, it's a trick.

Although Duan Ye and Du Jin have no evidence, but according to common sense, Lu Guang has only raised troops for a short period of time, and Liangzhou was still the Zhang family ten years ago, and it is impossible to have any loyalty to Fu Jian.

This kind of thing, knowing the reason, it is not difficult to crack it, Duan Ye smiled.

After Duan Ye finished speaking, Lu Guang and the others also laughed.

This time, after dawn, Duan Ye personally went into battle with his Jiuquan army, of course, after all, the Jiuquan army had just been reorganized, and for the sake of insurance, he still asked Lu You to bring 2,000 green cavalry to suppress the formation, so as to avoid problems. Every time I think of this, Duan Ye feels a little funny, he and Lu You are obviously enemies, but there are so many opportunities for cooperation, and life is still very mysterious.

The Jiuquan army is up and down, but they are all gearing up, and they have been attached to each other, although the days are not long, but Duan Ye has not treated them with a salary, it is fair enough, food and clothing are together, it is considerate enough, the training is strict, it is full enough, and most importantly, Duan Ye gave them hope!

As long as you work hard, you will definitely get ahead one day!

The promotion of Hu Kai and others has proven this.

And today, it's time to go to war!

Soldiers should earn their own fame and fortune on the battlefield. The Jiuquan Army can't wait for a long time! And only when they really make war exploits and achieve victory, an army, an army that once lost its soul, can become a division of tigers and wolves again. Duan Ye didn't have time to train officers slowly like a military academy and then do it gradually, so he could only use fierce medicine and quick methods to establish his own team.

Jiuquan City is the best medicine primer.

The armed parade in Jiuquan City the night before made the defenders of Jiuquan City jump like thunder, but there was no way, and the whole army was very convinced of Duan Ye, and now, Duan Ye said, since it is called Jiuquan Army, we must let our Jiuquan Army take Jiuquan, in order to deserve it, these words suddenly ignited the hearts of the whole army. Regardless of the generals, they all shouted that they wanted to fight.

However, unexpectedly, Duan Ye did not bring the Boulder Artillery Team that had already been trained, but taught them another set of rhetoric, and also said that when they go to Jiuquan today, they still use shouting and speaking, and tomorrow, they will guarantee to take Jiuquan.

In disbelief, the soldiers still honestly memorized the words handed over by Duan Ye, and ran to Jiuquan City with knives and guns. But I'm afraid they themselves can't believe what terrible things will happen under Jiuquan City!
